INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's approval of the attached
resolution approving FY 2014 Annual Action Plan Amendment 1 for the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This amendment reallocates Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding between two existing activities.
DISCUSSION
Federal regulations require that 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 as it expends entitlement funds. If its
revenues or activities change, the city must amend.
The City of Dubuque has been allocated CDBG funds that have been programmed for
specific uses as per the adopted Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2014. The Council approved
Purchase of Services Grant funding of $6,775 for Project Concern for the Information and
Referral activity. Since this is less than the $12,500 approved in the FY14 Annual Action
Plan, this activity needs to be reduced by $5,725
The Council approved a total of $15,000 in FY14 funding for Opening Doors, with $7,280
in CDBG funding and $7,720 in general funds. The proposed amendment would increase
Opening Doors CDBG funding to $13, 005. The general funds for the activity would be
reduced to $1,995. All other remaining FY14 Annual Plan activities would remain the
same.
This proposed amendment to the FY 14 Annual Action Plan is a non - substantial
amendment as defined by the Citizen Participation Plan and therefore requires a
recommendation by the Community Development Advisory Commission and adoption by
resolution of the City Council.
