Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: FY 2019 (Plan Year 2018) Community Development Block Grant Amendment #2 DATE: May 28, 2019 Housing and Community Development Director Alexis Steger recommends City Council approval of Fiscal Year 2019 (Plan Year 2018) Community Development Block Grant Annual Plan Amendment #2. The amendment represents changes to programs that have unspent funds and uses those funds to accommodate other community development opportunities that were presented to the Community Development Advisory Commission and City Council through the year. This amendment will increase/allocate funding to the following programs: • Real Recoveries Substance Use Services - $11,000 • Purchase/Rehab/Resale - $200,000 • Neighborhood Revitalization (AHNI) - $150,000 • Liberty Recovery Community - $150,000 • Eagle Valley Park Design/Development - $120,000 The City has been looking at how to budget for equitable outcomes, and one piece that came to light last year was the inequities in new park development. The allocated parcel for the development of Eagle Valley Park has been sitting vacant and undeveloped for years. This park is in a low/mod income area of the city. Other parks that are in high income areas of the city have been prioritized and already developed, while this parcel of land remained undeveloped. The allocation of funding for this park will allow the Leisure Services Department to design and complete some of the preliminary work on development of the park. Allocations of CDBG funds in the next two years should allow the department to fully finish the development of that park. Purchase/Rehab/Resale is a program that allows the City to purchase dilapidated buildings and rehabilitate them for affordable homeownership opportunities. The City acquired several of these properties in the last two years by court petition and was unable to rehabilitate them due to lack of funding. The allocation of additional funds in FY 2019 allowed the City to meet the timeliness test and rehabilitate properties on Mineral Street, Queen Street, Central Avenue and West Locust. This recommended budget amendment was presented to the Community Development Advisory Commission and was unanimously approved on May 15�h, 2019. Additional action was taken to approve the use of funds for individual partner projects represented in this amendment for AHNI and Liberty Recovery Community. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. 1�1sG�'u•'1 l�tu�, ;s,,s�__. Mic ael C.

Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Alexis M. Steger, Housing & Community Development Director DATE: May 28t", 2019 RE: FY 2019 (Plan Year 2018) Community Development Block Grant Amendment #2 Background The Fiscal Year 2019 Annual Action Plan is in effect until June 30t", 2019. Amendment #2 to the FY 2019 Annual Action Plan represents changes to programs that have unspent funds, and uses those funds to accommodate other community development opportunities that were presented to the Community Development Advisory Commission (CDAC) and City Council throughout the year. Specifically, this amendment will reduce funding in the following programs: • Overall Administration ($20,199) • Neighborhood Recreation Program ($10,000) • Historic Preservation Rehab Grant ($15,000) • Lead Hazard Reduction ($27,051) • Lead Waterline & Sewer Repair/Replacement ($150,000) • Rental Unit Rehabilitation ($440,740) • Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements o Lighting ($20,000) o Sidewalks ($2,852) o Street Overlays ($100,000) Significant changes include the Street Overlays, in which Road Use Tax funding was sufficient for the needs of the program this year. The Rental Unit Rehabilitation Program Funding allocated to Chris Richards for 278 West 3rd Street are able to be reallocated to other programs based on a change in funding source for that project. Lead Waterline & Sewer Repair/Replacement Program funds have been removed due to the cumbersome CDBG regulations required to use the funding. Housing TIF will be used for that program for this Fiscal Year instead. This amendment will increase/allocate funding to the following programs: • Real Recoveries Substance Use Services - $11,000 • Purchase/Rehab/Resale - $200,000 . Neighborhood Revitalization (AHNI) - $150,000 . Liberty Recovery Community - $150,000 . Eagle Valley Park Design/Development - $120,000 The city has been looking at how to budget for equitable outcomes, and one piece that came to light last year was the inequities in new park development. The allocated parcel for the development of Eagle Valley Park has been sitting vacant and undeveloped for years. This park is in a low/mod income area of the city. Other parks that are in high income areas of the city have been prioritized and already developed, while this parcel of land remained undeveloped. The allocation of funding for this park will allow the Leisure Services Department to design and complete some of the preliminary work on development of the park. Allocations of CDBG funds in the next two years should allow the department to fully finish the development of that park.
