WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
AMENDMENT TO THE 1997-98 AND 1999-00 ACTION PLANS FOR
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 0.1-15 amending the Action Plans for Fiscal
Year 1997-98 and 1999-00.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposal involves the reallocation or redistribution of CDBG funds between
previously approved projects. No impacts to the General Fund are anticipated.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS / FUNDS REALLOCATIONS
In May of each fiscal year, the City submits to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) a one-year Action Plan as an application to receive the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The Action Plan describes the activities that
the City will undertake during the program year to address the priority needs of housing
and community development. The Action Plan also describes program budget for
disbursement of CDBG funds to the activities that will be undertaken during the fiscal
year.
The Community Development Department is proposing to amend the submitted Action
Plans by reallocating funds from slower moving activities to more active activities. The
amendment is necessary to comply with HUD timeliness requirement.
Federal Law Section 573.902(a)(1)(i) related to CDBG program indicates that HUD will
consider an entitlement recipient (City) to be failing to carry out its CDBG activities in a
timely manner if, sixty days prior to the end of current program year, the amount of
entitlement grant funds available is more than 1.5 times of the entitlement grant amount
for the current program year.
The proposed amendment would reallocate funds from MCAS-Tustin street construction
to two (2) active projects. The Valencia/Armstrong street construction project is on hold
pending the Department of Navy releasing the land to the City. The amendment, if

approved by the City Council, would allow the City to continue to draw down CDBG
funds to meet the timeliness requirements.
The amendments are proposed as follows:
· Fiscal Year 1997-98
From Valencia/Armstrong Street Construction activity to the CDBG target Area
Sidewalk Improvement activity- Amount $20,000.
· Fiscal Year 1999-00
From Valencia/Armstrong Street Construction activity to the CDBG target Area
Sidewalk Improvement activity- Amount $60,000.
From Valencia/Armstrong Street Construction activity to Old Town Streetscape
improvement activity- Amount $122,000.
in accordance with Federal Law, the City has published a notice in the local newspaper
with regard to the proposed amendment. Staff recommends that the City Council
support the amendments to the Action Plans for FY 1997-98 and 1999-00.
