RE: FY 2020 Annual Action Plan Public Hearing
Introduction
This memorandum requests the City Council set a public hearing, in conjunction with
the Housing & Community Development Department Budget Hearing, on February 13,
2019 at 6:00 p.m. for the Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Action Plan (Plan) for the use of
Community Development Block Grant funds.
Background
The City of Dubuque receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds on
an annual basis from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development on an
entitlement basis. The City must use a public process to plan for, use, and evaluate the
impact of these federal resources in the community. The City uses CDBG funding to
provide decent, affordable housing, create economic opportunity, and suitable living
environments. City staff and partner organizations in the community deliver programs
and activities designed to increase affordability, accessibility, availability, and
sustainability of resources in the community.
On an annual basis, the City holds a series of public meetings designed to receive input
on the planed use of CDBG resources. As the City prepares the Fiscal Year 20 budget,
staff, commission members, and the public have opportunity to comment the use of
CDBG funding to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income populations.
Budget Impact
City staff from multiple departments coordinated to propose a budget for the Fiscal Year
2020 Annual Action Plan. The CDBG funding will be used by these departments to
provide new and continued services that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income
populations.
The City has not been notified of the formula allocation available for Block Grant funds
in Fiscal Year 2020. The attached budget has been prepared using an estimated
entitlement, based on the prior year allocation of $1,073,776, and projected program
income generated from CDBG funded activities. The proposed budget allocates
$1 ,462,701 to activities delivered by the following departments: Housing & Community
Development, Leisure Services, Engineering, City Manager's Office, and Planning
Services. The proposed budget allows a variance of$16,262 in the event federal
awards fall short of proposed estimates. The proposed budget allocates 16°k of
resources to Administration, 65°k to Housing & Community Development Activities, and
18°k to Neighborhood Development Activities.
Discussion
The proposed budget presented to the Council today is subject to change based upon
federal resources made available. The Block Grant allocations have historically been
announced in late February or March. Federal statute requires the City submit a
balanced Plan to HUD. The Community Development Advisory Commission will hold a
series of public meetings and hearings to refine the Plan after HUD makes the
allocations available. Substantial changes in the scale and scope of services provided,
as well as comments from the Commission and public, will be forwarded to the City
Council prior to submitting the plan to HUD. Changes in the Plan impacting the City
budget are reflected in Budget Amendment 1 .
Recommendation
I respectfully request the City Council adopt the attached resolution setting a public
hearing for the City of Dubuque Community Development Block Grant Annual Action
Plan for inclusion in the City Budget on February 13, 2019 at 6:00 p.m.
