SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2020 Community Development Block Grant Annual Action
Plan Amendment 2
DATE: April 27, 2020
Housing and Community Development Director Alexis Steger recommends City Council
approval of Amendment #2 to the Fiscal Year 2020 Community Development Block
Grant Annual Plan.
Amendment 2 increases the Fiscal Year 2020 CDBG Annual Action Plan budget to
include a CDBG-CV allocation that has been provided by the CARES Act. The
allocation is $647,301 and is to be used for the planning, response and recovery from
COVID-19.
The suggested allocation of funds are summarized below:
• $129,460 for administration of the funds/activities
• $180,000 for Temporary Shelter for Homeless/Doubled-Up families who need
to be isolated
• $100,000 for broadband access for low/moderate income areas; including
Wi-Fi to neighborhoods to support online learning for children
• $20,000 for tenant -based assistance such as rent and utilities for no more
than three months per family assisted
• $104,146 for Recreation Programs that would not otherwise be available due
to non -sustainable funding from fees
• $72,000 for non-profit community support through applications to the
Commission
• $41,695 for a drive-thru diagnostic testing facility as funding of last resort
Since this allocation was provided to respond to COVID-19, regular CDBG entitlement
funds were able to be reallocated with this amendment as well. The $200,000
reallocated from Rental Rehab to Temporary Shelter has been moved back to Rental
Rehabilitation. The Entitlement allocation to drive-thru testing was allocated back to
activities that support the recovery from COVID-19, including an allocation to Housing
Inspections, Asphalt Overlay Program, and Ash Tree Removal in Low/Mod income
areas. These programs will be greatly affected by reduced revenue but affect
low/moderate income persons more often if funding is not provided. This is due to the
low/moderate income areas of the city having the oldest roads, oldest/largest trees that
can do the most damage and the oldest housing stock in the city.
The Community Development Advisory Commission held the public hearing on April 21,
2020 and approved the allocation of funding for the new allocation of CDBG-CV funds
as presented.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

RE: Fiscal Year 2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual
Action Plan Amendment 2 — To include CDBG-CV allocation
Discussion
Federal regulations require each year a city must prepare and file an Annual Plan
prior to receipt of its CDBG entitlement. The Annual Plan is adopted following a public
participation process that includes a published notice, a public comment period, and
a public hearing. A city must follow its adopted plan to expend entitlement funds. If its
revenues or activities change, the city must amend the plan. This requirement applies
to plans for previous years as well as the current year.
Amendment 2 is increasing the Fiscal Year 2020 CDBG Annual Action Plan budget to
include a CDBG-CV allocation that has been provided by the CARES Act. The
allocation is $647,301 and is to be used for the planning, response and recovery from
COVID-19.
Certain CDBG rules and regulations have been alleviated or adjusted to accommodate
the emergency type responses, included suspension of the 15% Public Service Cap for
activities related to COVID-19. Public comment periods can be shortened to 5 days as
long as the Citizen Participation Plan is updated to reflect this change. The Commission
made these updates to the Citizen Participation Plan on April 15th, 2020 following
normal public hearing procedures.
Specific rules that have not been changed relate to environmental review requirements,
Section 106 reviews by the State Historic Preservation Office and all such rules that are
not governed by HUD but by other Federal Agencies. This guidance may change, but
the City of Dubuque will continue to follow all guidance from the governing federal
agency of those requirements. Additionally, 70% of all CDBG funding must provide
assistance to low/moderate income households or persons. During an emergency, this
provision is NOT lifted, and therefore staff must be diligent in tracking who is being
served in each program.
Staff suggestions for the allocation of funds are detailed in the attached and
summarized below:
• $129,460 for administration of the funds/activities
• $180,000 for Temporary Shelter for Homeless/Doubled Up families who
need to be isolated
• $100,000 for broadband access for low/moderate income areas;
including wifi to neighborhoods to support online learning for children
• $20,000 for tenant based assistance such as rent and utilities for no more
than three months per family assisted
• $104,146 for Recreation Programs that would not otherwise be available
due to non -sustainable funding from fees
• $72,000 for non-profit community support through applications to the
Commission
• $41,695 for a drive-thru diagnostic testing facility as funding of last resort
Although the City of Dubuque tries to be forward looking and all-inclusive in what issues
the community might face in an emergency, it is impossible to foresee every need.
Should a reallocation of these funds be required, an amendment to the plan can be
made in a timely fashion through the Community Development Advisory Commission.
The Commission may reallocate funding within these programs without a public hearing
as long as the change is not substantial. A new program, or a significant movement of
funds across activities (often $100,000 or greater, however this is determined based on
the original allocation in the activities affected) would require a public hearing and City
Council approval.
Commission Action
The Community Development Advisory Commission set a public hearing at their April
15th, 2020 meeting for the CDBG Annual Action Plan Amendment 2.
The Community Development Advisory Commission held the public hearing on April
21St, 2020 and approved the allocation of funding for the new allocation of CDBG-CV
funds as presented.
Since this allocation was provided to respond to COVID-19, regular CDBG entitlement
funds were able to be reallocated with this amendment as well. The $200,000
reallocated from Rental Rehab to Temporary Shelter has been moved back to Rental
Rehabilitation. The Entitlement allocation to drive-thru testing was allocated back to
activities that support the recovery from COVID-19, including an allocation to Housing
Inspections, Asphalt Overlay Program, and Ash Tree Removal in Low/Mod income
areas. These programs will be greatly affected by reduced revenue, but affect
low/moderate income persons more often if funding is not provided. This is due to our
low/moderate income areas of the city having the oldest roads, oldest/largest trees that
can do the most damage and the oldest housing stock in the city.
Requested Action
I respectfully request the City Council hold a public hearing on May 4, 2020 for
Amendment #2 to the FY 2020 Community Development Block Grant Annual Plan and
adopt the plan as presented.

improvements.

revenue sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
In addition, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate -income (not low-income)
