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. 2 If you have any questions regarding the information in this letter, please contact Ms. Kim Radice, Community Planning and Development Representative, at (402) 492-3190.
