SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual
Action Plan Amendment 3 - Adjustments to CDBG-CV Allocation

Housing and Community Development Director Alexis Steger recommends City Council
approval of Fiscal Year 2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual

families who need to be isolated will be broken down into Rehabilitation
of the facility ($100,000) and Operation of the facility ($80,000)
• $100,000 for broadband access for low/moderate income areas will be
reallocated to tenant-based assistance ($84,575) and AmeriCorps

to non-profit community support through applications to the Commission
The Community Development Advisory Commission approved the allocation of funding

RE: Fiscal Year 2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual
Action Plan Amendment 3 — Adjustments to 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 3 is adjusting allocation of CDBG-CV (CARES Act) funding in the Fiscal
Year 2020 CDBG Annual Action Plan budget to provide more funding to the activities
that showed the greatest need in preventing, preparing for and responding to the
Coronavirus pandemic.
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 15t", 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 reallocation of funds are detailed in the attached and
summarized below:
• $180,000 allocated for Temporary Shelter for Homeless/Doubled Up
families who need to be isolated will be broken down into Rehabilitation
of the facility ($100,000) and Operation of the facility ($80,000)
• $100,000 for broadband access for low/moderate income areas will be
reallocated to tenant-based assistance ($84,575) and AmeriCorps
Partners in Learning ($15,425)
• $41,695 for a drive-thru diagnostic testing facility will be fully reallocated
to non-profit community support through applications to the Commission
