Burke, Community and Economic Development Director Subject: FY 2000 Annual Action Plan Introduction The Community Development Advisory Commission is submitting the attached Fiscal Year 2000 Annual Action Plan to the City Council for public hearing and approval as part of the FY 2000 budget. The Commission reviewed and approved the Plan at a public hearing on December 1, 1998 with additional comment and recommendation made on January 19, 1999. Discussion The attached Annual Action Plan presents a plan for the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for Fiscal Year 1999-2000. The anticipated entitlement and program income for this period $1,419,000 and $771,911 respectively. The Annual Action Plan is currently available for review at the Community and Economic Development Department, Housing Services Department, Carnegie Stout Public Library and the City Clerk's office. The 30 day comment period has begun with publication of a notice in the Telegraph Herald and Dubuque Advertiser. A public hearing with the Commission and City Council should occur at the conclusion of the 30 day comment period to discuss the Annual Action Plan. Last year, the public hearing was held during the joint department budget worksession for Community and Economic Development, Housing Services and Planning Services. The final adoption of the plan would take place at the final public hearing and adoption of the City's annual budget. Adoption by resolution of the City Council is required prior to submission to HUD. The Community Development Advisory Commission developed the Plan following a series of public meetings in October and November. A public hearing was held on December 1 and a proposed Plan was adopted. Following that hearing, the Commission reviewed a request by Housing Services for an additional $6500 on January 19th. This request would provide funding to supplement the current housing services customer services survey with additional information gathering, planning and assessment effort, culminating in a "Housing Summit" to be held in the Spring of 2000. If approved, the existing planning committee will convene a community-wide housing needs assessment process. _. ,. .:. The Commission recommended approval of the additional $6500 in CDBG funding to Housing Administration due to an increase in the CDBG entitlement from $1,409,000 for FY 1999 to $1,419,000 for FY 2000. They emphasized the need for completion of the survey with implementation of action steps and also recommended the proposed housing summit be held in Dubuque if possible. Recommended Action I recommend that the City Council set a public hearing with the Community Development Advisory Commission on the attached FY 2000 Annual Action Plan on February 22, 1999. This is the date of the joint department budget worksession for Community and Economic Development, Housing Services and Planning Services. Final adoption of the Annual Action Plan shall occur at the final public hearing and adoption of the City's annual budget in March. _ 'NO!:, olh\ ~F! .,..'" !l:!IC -<:to ""8 ::D m -< ml!:'" :xJ !: .

F:\USERS\AKRA\lERIMYDOCSlCDDOCSlCDBG\OOANNUAL\OOPUBHRG.CQU CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA 2000 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE USE OF PROGRAM YEAR 1999 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS INTRODUCTION The 2000 Annual Action Plan for the use of Program Year 1999 Community Development Block Grant Funds has resulted from a three month process of public involvement and decision-making regarding the needs, priorities and proposed uses of CDBG funds in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Using priorities established by the 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan and reconfirmed during this planning process, projects and budgets were developed to address community housing and non-housing needs. The following action plan represents the efforts of citizens, commissioners, public officials and staffto craft a document responsive to identified opportunities and needs in the community. RESOURCES Federal Federal resources expected to be available to address the priority needs identified in this plan include both CDBG and HOME funds. The City anticipates $2,180,911 in CDBG assistance in Fiscal Year 2000 (July 1, 1999 - June 30, 2000), which includes the annual entitlement and program income. The City does not receive HOME funds as an entitlement but was awarded $220,000 in May, 1998, from the State ofIowa to support rental unit rehabilitation over a two year period. Another HOME application for an additional $220,000 is pending, and an application for $350,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank is pending to support first time home buyers. The City will also continue to utilize a $3.6 million lead paint grant over the next 3 years. The City of Dubuque will utilize other federal assistance programs as appropriate to meet community needs. Sources of funds include $3.3 million in Section 8 rental assistance payments, the Section 108 Loan Guarantee program, EDA Public Works Grant Program and SBA 504 loan program. The City has successfully worked with developers to access Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Historic Preservation Tax Credits in order to develop feasible housing projects. Other Repayments from the City's former State-funded Rental Rehabilitation Program will provide an estimated $50,000 for rental rehabilitation. Local Housing Assistance Program funds from the Iowa Department of Economic Development are being used to support $150,000 in loans to first time home buyers who meet 81-100% Low/Moderate Income guidelines. The City works with the State of Iowa to access available funds for both housing and non-housing projects, especially job creation economic development funds. The City leverages its CDBG money through its lending policies which require private equity participation. Matching funds are required in almost all programs, although volunteer time is allowed to fulfill 1 this requirement for most public service programs. The City actively seeks partners, whether they are developers, bankers, homeowners, neighborhood organizations or outside agencies, to carry out the programs and projects funded by the CDBG program in an effort to coordinate and leverage the limited resources available. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES The City of Dubuque distinguishes between four different but complementary areas of program development in its overall CDBG program: Housing Development, Economic Development, Neighborhood and Community Development and Planning & Administration. The following description of activities summarizes the projects to be completed in the 2000 Annual Action Plan with the use of CDBG funds: HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Problem Properties Management $ 2,500 A last resort option to remedy severe code violations/neglect in both vacant and occupied buildings. The City may contract for repairs and assess costs against the property. Relocation assistance and demolition may also be necessary.

F:\USERSlAKRAMERIMYDOCSlCDDOCSlCDBGIOOANNUALIOOPUBHRG.COU CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA 2000 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE USE OF PROGRAM YEAR 1999 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS INTRODUCTION The 2000 Annual Action Plan for the use of Program Year 1999 Community Development Block Grant Funds has resulted from a three month process of public involvement and decision-making regarding the needs, priorities and proposed uses of CDBG funds in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Using priorities established by the 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan and reconfirmed during this planning process, projects and budgets were developed to address community housing and non-housing needs. The following action plan represents the efforts of citizens, commissioners, public officials and staff to craft a document responsive to identified opportunities and needs in the community. RESOURCES Federal Federal resources expected to be available to address the priority needs identified in this plan include both CDBG and HOME funds. The City anticipates $2,190,911 in CDBG assistance in Fiscal Year 2000 (July 1, 1999 - June 30, 2000), which includes the annual entitlement and program income. The City does not receive HOME funds as an entitlement but was awarded $220,000 in May, 1998, from the State ofIowa to support rental unit rehabilitation over a two year period. Another HOME application for an additional $220,000 is pending. An application for $350,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank was funded to support first time home buyers working with local banks. The City will also continue to utilize a $3.6 million lead paint grant over the next 3 years. The City of Dubuque will utilize other federal assistance programs as appropriate to meet community needs. Sources of funds include $3.3 million in Section 8 rental assistance payments, the Section 108 Loan Guarantee program, EDA Public Works Grant Program and SBA 504 loan program. The City has successfully worked with developers to access Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Historic Preservation Tax Credits in order to develop feasible housing projects. Other Repayments from the City's former State-funded Rental Rehabilitation Program will provide an estimated $50,000 for rental rehabilitation. Local Housing Assistance Program funds from the Iowa Department of Economic Development are being used to support $150,000 in loans to first time home buyers who meet 81-100% Low/Moderate Income guidelines. The City works with the State of Iowa to access available funds for both housing and non-housing projects, especially job creation economic development funds. The City leverages its CDBG money through its lending policies which require private equity participation. Matching funds are required in almost all programs, although volunteer time is allowed to fulfill 1 this requirement for most public service programs. The City actively seeks partners, whether they are developers, bankers, homeowners, neighborhood organizations or outside agencies, to carry out the programs and projects funded by the CDBG program in an effort to coordinate and leverage the limited resources available. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES The City of Dubuque distinguishes between four different but complementary areas of program development in its overall CDBG program: Housing Development, Economic Development, Neighborhood and Community Development and Planning & Administration. The following description of activities summarizes the projects to be completed in the 2000 Annual Action Plan with the use of CDBG funds: HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Problem Properties Management $ 2,500 A last resort option to remedy severe code violations/neglect in both vacant and occupied buildings.
