Subsequently, HUD notified the City that the anticipated CDBG allocation has been
reduced ftom $1,256,479 to $1,252,136. The amended Plan was approved by the
Commission on June 13~' and adopted by the City Council on July 2, 2007 by Resolution
359-07.
The attached letter ftom HUD informs the City that its FY 2008 Annual Action Plan has
been reviewed and a grant of $1,252,136 approved. A Funding ApprovaVAgreement is
included for execution by the City. To complete the annual application process, the City
Council must now approve execution of the grant agreement as provided by the attached
resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing execution of
the grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This

This is to inform you that a review of your fiscal year 2007 Consolidated Plan Annual Action Plan
has been completed. The grant assistance you are receiving includes Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds in the amount of $1,252,136. Enclosed are the Grant Agreements and Funding Approvals
(three copies for each program), which constitute the contract between the Department of Housing and
Urban Development and the City of Dubuque.
In order to establish a line of credit for these grant funds, you should execute and return two copies
of the Grant Agreement. Retain one copy of the Grant Agreement for your files. If there is a need to
establish or change the depository account to which these grant funds are to be wired, a Direct Deposit Sign-
Up Form (SF-1199A) must be completed by you and your financial institution and mailed to this office.
You are reminded that certain activities are subject to the provisions of 24 CFR Part 58
(Environmental Review Procedures for the CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs). Funds for such activities
may not be obligated or expended unless the release of funds has been approved in writing by HUD. A
request for the release of funds must be accompanied by an environmental certification.
The special condition in your Grant Agreement and Funding Approval concerning the review
procedures under Executive Order (E.O.) 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs, and
HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 52 restricts the obligation or expenditure of funds for the
planning or construction of water or sewer facilities until the completion of the review process and receipt
of written notification of release of funds from HUD. Since you have not submitted your final statement for
review under E.O. 12372, we assume you do not propose to use funds for activities subject to review.
However, the condition requires that in the event you amend or otherwise revise your final statement to use
funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities, you must receive written release of funds
from HUD before obligating or expending funds for such activities.
You are encouraged to continue to vigorously promote full .partnerships between the City of
Dubuque and its non-profit service providers, neighborhood organizations, the economic community and
private citizens as you implement your Consolidated Plan. In the process of transforming plan elements into
projects, the quality of success will depend in large part on the closeness of cooperation among all the
Consolidated Plan partners. We offer our continued support and technical assistance during the coining
year to help forward the objectives of the Consolidated Plan.
