INTRODUCTION
This memorandum transmits the resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2013 (Program
Year 2012) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan to the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. The attached FY 2013 Annual Action Plan provides for use of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the anticipated entitlement of
$928,372, with anticipated revenues of $322,075 in program income and $7,297 in
Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund, for a total of $1,257,744.
The Community Development Advisory Commission reviewed and approved a Plan on
December 14th. The City was then notified by HUD that the CDBG allocation had been
reduced by $198,626 (- 17.62 %). The Commission therefore held another public hearing
on February 15, 2012 following a 30 day comment period and approved the attached
FY 2013 Annual Plan.
A public hearing on the Annual Plan will be held by the City Council on February 29,
2012, with final FY 2013 budget approval at the March 7th meeting. A required 30 day
public comment period commenced with publication of notices on the City website and
in the Telegraph Herald on January 23rd and the Dubuque Advertiser on January 25th
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I recommend the City Council approve the attached resolution adopting the FY 2013
Annual Action Plan as recommended by the City Manager and authorizing the City
Manager to prepare and submit the Plan to HUD for use of CDBG funds.

11. Maximum Feasible Priority - With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG funds, it
certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible pnority to activities
which benefit low and moderate income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or
blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee certifies are designed to meet

However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the

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.
The jurisdiction will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted with
CDBG funds, including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or
assessment attributable to the capital costs of public improvements financed from other revenue
sources. In this case, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds. Also, in the case of properties
owned and occupied by moderate - income (not low- income) families, an assessment or charge may be
made against the property for public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds if the

APPENDIX TO CERTIFICATIONS
Instructions Concerning Lobbying and Drug -Free Workplace Requirements
Lobbying Certification
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction
was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into
this transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code. Any person who fails to file the required
certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for
each such failure.
Drug -Free Workplace Certification
1. By signing and /or submitting this application or grant agreement, the grantee is providing the
certification.
2. The certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed when the agency
awards the grant. If it is later determined that the grantee knowingly rendered a false certification,
or otherwise violates the requirements of the Drug -Free Workplace Act, HUD, in addition to any other
remedies available to the Federal Government, may take action authorized under the Drug -Free
Workplace Act.
3. Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be identified on the
certification. If known, they may be identified in the grant application. If the grantee does not identify
the workplaces at the time of application, or upon award, if there is no application, the grantee must
keep the identity of the workplace(s) on file in its office and make the information available for
Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's
drug -free workplace requirements.
4. Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or parts of buildings) or other
sites where work under the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g., all vehicles
of a mass transit authority or State highway department while in operation, State employees in each
local unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio stations).
5. If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of the grant, the grantee
shall inform the agency of the change(s), if it previously identified the workplaces in question (see
paragraph three).
6. The grantee may insert in the space provided below the site(s) for the performance of work done in
connection with the specific grant: Place of Performance (Street address, city, county, state, zip code)
Check if there are workplaces on file that are not identified here. The certification with regard to the
drug -free workplace is required by 24 CFR part 21.
