HomeMy WebLinkAbout02 PUBLIC HEARING - FY 2013-14 CDBGAGENDA REPORT Agenda Item Reviewed: City Manager Finance Director 2 MEETING DATE: MAY 7, 2013 TO: FROM: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2013 -14 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING ALLOCATION, FISCAL YEAR 2013 -14 ACTION PLAN, AMENDMENTS TO THE PY 2008 -13 ACTION PLANS SUMMARY: The Community Development Department is proposing to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) a Program Year (PY) 2013 -14 Action Plan (Attachment A), which describes the activities that the City will undertake during the program year. The Action Plan includes the program budget for disbursement of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. HUD has not yet notified the City of CDBG funding for the program year 2013 -14, but has informed staff to use the prior year funding allocation ($587,277) as a baseline with a possible increase of up to four (4) percent. On March 5, 2013, the Tustin City Council conducted a public hearing informing interested citizens about the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, obtained citizens' views on CDBG priorities, received a report on public service performance evaluations, and potential reallocation and allocation of CDBG funds. The Community Development Department is also proposing to amend the PY 2008 -13 Action Plans to reallocate unexpended funds from previously approved projects. An amendment to an Action Plan is required when adding a new activity not previously described in the Action Plan of the respective Program Year or an increase or decrease in funds of fifty (50) percent or more allocated to a specific project. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 13 -35 approving: 1) Program Year 2013 -14 Action Plan and funding allocation; 2) Amendments to the PY 2008 -13 Action Plans to reallocate unexpended funds; and, 3) authorize submission of the PY 2013 -14 Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. FISCAL IMPACT: Non - public services activities are proposed to be funded by CDBG grant funds; however, the City's proposed public services activities such as Graffiti Removal, Tustin CDBG Program Year 2013 -14 May 7, 2013 Page 2 Parks and Recreation Youth Coordinator, and Tustin Kids Corner will have a fiscal impact to the General Fund since they are not fully funded by CDBG grant funds. BACKGROUND: The federal Housing and Community Act of 1974, as amended, created the CDBG program to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing adequate housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low- and moderate- income persons. Grants are awarded to communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and the provision of improved community facilities and services. For participation in the CDBG program, the federal govemment requires that local jurisdictions prepare a 5 -year Consolidated Plan document and state within its plan, the jurisdiction's goals and priorities. The City's current Consolidated Plan, adopted on April 20, 2010, covers Program Years 2010 -2015. The City is also required to submit an Annual Action Plan for each of the five years covered in the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan serves the following functions: 1. A planning document for the City of Tustin; 2. An application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs; 3. An action plan that provides a strategy for carrying out goals and priorities (also serve as the City's annual application); and, 4. A basis for assessing performance. A section of the Consolidated Plan, called the one -year Action Plan, serves as the City's application to HUD for CDBG program funding. The City must submit an Action Plan annually to receive the entitlement money. The purpose of the Action Plan is to detail how the City will spend its annual allocation of funds to meet community needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. This Action Plan, as required by federal regulations, must be available for public review for a period of not less than 30 days. The City advertised the availability of this document in the Tustin News. The review period began on March 14, 2013, and ended on April 12, 2013. No public comments were received. This document may be amended based on the City Council's action at this meeting. HUD mandates that the Action Plan must be submitted no later than May 17, 2013. Eligible Activities Communities are permitted to develop their own programs and funding priorities, as long as each activity meets one of the three CDBG National Objectives. These objectives are as follows: 1. Benefit low- and moderate - income persons; 2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or 3. Meet community development needs having a particular urgency (conditions that pose serious or immediate threats CDBG Program Year 2013 -14 May 7, 2013 Page 3 to the health or welfare of the community where other sources of funding are not available). The CDBG program as administered by HUD requires that at least 70 percent of the total CDBG annual expenditures must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate - income persons over a one -, two -, or three -year period, and individual activities designed to benefit low- and moderate - income persons must assist at least 51 percent of low- and moderate - income persons. To assure that activities will meet the National Objectives, HUD established guidelines for Eligible and Ineligible activities. Eligible activities include: Housing - related type of activities Removal of Architectural Barriers to Public Facilities Rehabilitation and Preservation Activities Public Facilities and Improvements Public Services Activities Economic Development Activities Planning and Program Administration, etc. The CDBG program limits the amount of allocation for Public Services activities and Program Administration. A maximum of 15 percent (15% x $587,277 = $88,091) of the total grant award may be allocated to Public Service types of activities. A maximum of 20 percent (20% x $587,277 = $117,455) of the total grant award may be expended on administrative and planning activities. Public Service Activities Multiyear Funding On April 17, 2007, the City Council amended the City's Citizen Participation Plan by designating the Tustin Community Foundation as the Citizen Participation Committee for Public Service Activities and that funding for public services are to be allocated through a three (3) multiyear funding cycle. On February 16, 2011, the Tustin Community Foundation acting as the City's Citizen Participation Committee held a public hearing, considered funding requests for public service programs, and recommended funding allocation based on a multiyear funding cycle. On April 19, 2011, in accordance with the Citizen Participation Plan, the City Council approved a three (3) year allocation for public services programs. Following the Year One (1) allocation for PY 2011 -12, the approved public service programs would continue to receive Year Two (2) for Program Year 2012 -13 and Year Three (3) for Program Year 2013 -14 funding if they meet the following criteria: a. Activities must continue to meet the priority and objective for which the activities are funded in Year One (1); b. Activities must continue to leverage funds with other sources; c. Activities must be in compliance with contractual obligations; CDBG Program Year 2013 -14 May 7, 2013 Page 4 d. Activities must report accomplishments correctly in the Quarterly and Annual Performance Reports and /or other documentation as described in current year contract; e. Activities must receive a successful assessment of project performance and progress from City staff. On March 5, 2013, a public hearing was held by the City Council to evaluate the performance of the approved public service activities for continuation of funding in Year 3. A list of recommended public service funding by staff is attached as Attachment B. Nonpublic Services Activities/Programs On November 29, 2012, the City published a Notice of Availability of Funding Application (NOFA) for non - public services projects /programs in the Tustin News and transmitted applications to all City of Tustin departments. The City staff committee, which consists of all directors from various departments and a representative from the City Manager's Office, held a meeting to propose and discuss possible non - public service CDBG projects for PY 2013 -14 and make a recommendation to City Council on the disbursement of projects for public facilities and improvement, rehabilitation and preservation, and program administration project categories. A total of seven (7) City applications and two (2) Fair Housing applications from the Fair Housing Council of Orange County and the Fair Housing Foundation were received. Staff reviewed the two Fair Housing service applications and based on proposed level of service, outreach, qualifications, and past working relationships, staff recommends contracting with the Fair Housing Foundation to provide fair housing services to Tustin residents. A list of non - public service projects is attached as Attachment B.

For PY 2008 -13, there are unexpended funds that need to be re- allocated to ensure compliance with CDBG timeliness regulations. The unexpended funds are from projects that have been completed and therefore have no further or immediate expenses under CDBG or projects that are not moving forward. An amendment to an Action Plan is required when the City adds a new activity not previously described in the Action Plan of the respective Program Year or an increase or decrease in funds of fifty percent or more allocated to a specific project.

No comments have been received as of the printing of this staff report. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS Federal laws relating to CDBG funds require cities to provide citizens with specific information about the amount of monies expected for the program and the range of activities that may be undertaken with those funds. Federal regulations also require a jurisdiction to hold at least two public hearings to obtain the views of citizens on such issues as housing, other community development needs and the use of the CDBG monies. The first public hearing was held on March 5, 2013, and the May 7, 2013, hearing is the second public hearing to consider the proposed Action Plan (a component of the Five -year Consolidated Plan and an annual application for a CDBG grant) and to authorize staff to submit to the Action Plan to HUD. After City Council approval, staff will submit the one - year Action Plan to HUD detailing the City's specific use of the funds for PY 2013 -14. The Action Plan is due on May 17, 2013. After receiving final approval of proposed projects, each public service /non - profit organization receiving funding will be asked to enter into agreements with the City requiring compliance with all federal CDBG regulations relating to program management, reporting, auditing, etc. No disbursement of monies can be made to any agency or organization until expenses are incurred and documented to benefit the intended program.

Funding requests for these types of projects will be reviewed annually. Public Service programs will be allocated on a three -year funding cycle. This Action Plan covers activities to be funded during PY 2013 -14 (Year 3 of the three -year funding cycle). Funding for PY 2013 -14 public service activities will be based on PY 2012 -13 funding levels (Year 2 of the three -year cycle), adjusted to account for variations in CDBG grant allocations from HUD. For 2013 -14, the City of Tustin's CDBG grant allocation is estimated to be $587,277 with a potential increase of up to four percent.

The following section of the Action Plan outlines the City's course of action to address housing and community developments needs in the City in compliance with HUD regulations. A. SOURCES OF FUNDS There are several potential sources of funding that might enable the City of Tustin to address housing and community development priority needs and the specific objectives identified in the Strategic Plan component of the Consolidated Plan; however, as a result of the currently weak economic conditions the actual financial resources currently available to the City are somewhat limited. The dissolution of the City's Redevelopment Agency has further impacted available funding for priority needs. Nonetheless, throughout the fiscal year, the City will pursue additional funding opportunities. The City's aim is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of available federal, State, and local funds in an effort to create a viable community, develop new affordable housing opportunities, and maintain and preserve existing housing. To ensure the financial feasibility of a project, the City will consider the use of funds from other sources, such as the City's Housing Authority set -aside funds, to further affordable housing and community development goals whenever a match, grant, or loan is necessary or appropriate. The following resources are anticipated to be available to the City during Program.

SUMMARY OF PRIORITIES AND STATEMENT OF SPECIFIC ANNUAL OBJECTIVES CDBG monies allocated to the City for the 2013 -14 funding year will not address all of the community's priority needs. Instead, allocations will be focused toward specific projects addressing high community priorities in order to produce tangible community benefits. The following are the needs rated by the community as high priorities and their relation to the Five - Year priorities indicated in the Consolidated Plan. Also listed are the actions that the City identified it will undertake during the program year to address priority needs. Table 3 summarizes the City's priorities, objectives, and goals for the program year. HOUSING NEEDS The following programs were identified in the City of Tustin's 2008 -2009 to 2017 -2018 Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy, with redevelopment serving as a primary funding source. As a result of the passage of AB 1 X 26 and 27 and the State Supreme Court's ruling on both bills, redevelopment funding is no longer available to support these programs. In an effort to continue program activities funded by redevelopment, the City is exploring funding opportunities that are available to the Tustin Housing Authority, established in March 2011. In addition, the State Legislature is proposing legislation that would return low and moderate income housing funds to the City as well as considering legislation to create a new source of low and moderate income housing funds. As funds become available, the City will prioritize programs based on funding availability and needs. Priority Activity: First -time Homebuvers Program Based on the Southern California Association of Governments' 2007 Regional Housing Needs Assessment , the City of Tustin has 11,985 housing units available for renters, 3,080 (25.7 percent) of these units are rented by "cost burdened" renters. 1 This presents an opportunity for Low- and Moderate - income renter households to transition to homeowners, with some assistance. To address these opportunities, the City will provide technical assistance to assist Low- to Moderate- income households by identifying existing public and private lender financing programs (see Table 2). Additionally, the City will continue to monitor the Villages of Columbus and Tustin Field housing tracts at Tustin Legacy where 273 affordable housing unit covenants remain for 45 years. Tustin Legacy housing developers are required to comply with the City's inclusionary housing requirements as specified in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Specifically PY 2013 -14 programs include the following: • The City will provide referrals or direct assistance to Low- and Moderate - income households to help them identify and /or apply for homebuyer downpayment assistance programs that offer low interest rates and/or deferred interest loans. Programs include those offered by the State and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) lender programs. Cost burdened means a moderate income tenant pays more than 30 percent of their income for housing and severely cost - burdened renters pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing for low income households. City of Tustin 17 2013 -14 Action Plan • Assist Low- and Moderate- income homebuyers with a deferred second mortgage program for the amount of a buyer's "affordability gap." Priority Activity: Preservation of Existing Affordable Units The City will preserve its existing affordable housing by utilizing CDBG funds, Housing Authority funds, and other Federal /State resources. These programs include: • Funding for nonprofits to assist with the acquisition of Section 8 project -based projects with expiring contracts. Strategies to preserve existing affordable housing units include: • Continue to require developers converting apartments to condominiums, to process a use permit, provide relocation assistance, and/or provide incentives and assistance for purchase of the units by Low- and Moderate - income households. • Continue to provide housing referral services to families in need of housing assistance and information. • Code enforcement — CDBG funding will be used to provide code enforcement activities focused in Low- and Moderate- income neighborhoods. Code enforcement efforts support the City's housing rehabilitation program, which is funded with non - Federal monies. • Provide opportunities for affordable secondary residential dwelling units in single - family residential districts through existing Zoning Ordinance provisions. • Continue the provision of counseling and dispute resolution services via the Fair Housing Foundation. • Continue the provision of services by the Fair Housing Foundation to ensure equal housing opportunities within the City. • Ensure that processing of permits for Low- and Moderate- income housing are fast - tracked with Low- and Moderate- income housing permits being given priority over other permit applications. Priority Activity: Rehabilitation of Existing Housiniz Stock As indicated in the Consolidated Plan, a large number of older housing units are located within the City's former South Central and Town Center redevelopment project areas (Southwest Area). Many of these older homes are in need of rehabilitation. Currently, rehabilitation programs have been targeting specific areas located in the southwest portion of the City subject to funding availability. Programs include: • Owner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants • Rental Rehabilitation Loans and Grants The City's Housing Authority's strategies for the rehabilitation of the City's existing housing stock include: City of Tustin 18 2013 -14 Action Plan • Require appropriate deed restrictions to ensure continued affordability for Low- or Moderate - income housing constructed or rehabilitated with the assistance of public funds, as legally required. • Allocate available CDBG funds to finance public improvements and Housing Authority funds for the rehabilitation of residential units in the City's target areas. • The Housing Rehabilitation Grant Program provides financial incentives to property owners in designated areas of the City to stimulate beautification efforts and rehabilitation of residential properties. Eligible Property Owners include low and moderate- income homeowners and multi - family property owners with low to moderate income tenants. Currently there is no available funding for this program; however, the City will continue the program as funding becomes available. Priority Activity: New Housing Construction With the exception of development opportunities occurring on the available land from the reuse at the former MCAS- Tustin base site (i.e., Tustin Legacy), the City of Tustin is mostly built out. Consequently, the City has limited opportunities for new ownership and rental construction on infill sites in the City; however, the following programs have been designed to assist with the development of affordable units within newly constructed projects in any portion of the City. Programs include: • New Ownership Housing Construction Strategies to encourage new housing construction include: • The City will support the development of new affordable ownership within Tustin Legacy. A priority may be given to ownership housing projects that are consistent with the City's Housing policy. • The City will provide for mixed -use site opportunities in Old Town where new ownership townhomes could be constructed. • The City will provide referrals to the Orange County Housing Authority when necessary for the development and operation of federally assisted Low- and Moderate- income housing programs. Priority Activity: Homeless Needs This priority encourages activities which support the homeless, those at -risk of being homeless, and families in transition from homelessness to independent living, by providing support services, counseling, and transitional housing. Programs include: • Homeless Housing Partnership Program • Laurel House • Olive Crest Transitional Housing Placement Program • Mercy House City of Tustin 19 2013 -14 Action Plan Strategies for support of ancillary services to support the homeless include: • Continue to support Orange County Social Services Agency programs in conjunction with the Tustin Family Campus for abused and neglected children. • Laurel House — Allocates CDBG funds to assist Laurel House in providing temporary shelter and information for support resources to homeless runaway teens. CDBG funds will be used towards staff salary and benefits. • Olive Crest — Olive Crest provides shelter, support, education, and counseling to youth (16- 19 years old) transitioning out of the foster care system. The Transitional Housing Placement Program helps prepare the youth for the challenges and stresses of independent adult life with the goal of helping them become productive members of society. CDBG funds will be used towards staff salary and benefits. • Mercy House — Mercy House Cold Weather Shelter Armory Program provides emergency shelter and support services to the homeless population. CDBG funds will be used towards shelter supplies provided to the homeless. Priority Activity: Support and Ancillary Services This priority encourages activities which support affordable housing units for particular groups, such as Low- and Very Low - income households, homeless, and families in transition from homelessness to independent living. Programs include: • Section 8 Certificate and Vouchers Strategies for support and ancillary services to support affordable housing units for targeted groups include: • Encourage the availability of Section 8 rental assistance certificates and voucher certificate program assistance funds through Orange County Housing Authority. • Encourage the maintenance of existing and establishment of new Section 8 certificates and support the County's efforts to obtain continued Federal funding. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS The Community Development needs within the City of Tustin are summarized below. Priority Activity: Youth Centers /Services Youth centers /services have been identified by the community as essential to provide recreational options to area youth. The target area for the CDBG program is severely limited in terms of park and recreation resources that are available to area youth desiring to participate in constructive, affordable, and organized activities. Therefore, priority programs to address the need for youth centers and services within the City of Tustin include: • Tustin Family Youth Center — CDBG funds will be allocated to the City of Tustin Parks and Recreation Department to provide a full -time recreation coordinator at the Tustin Family Youth Center located in the southwest neighborhood of the City. The Center provides free City of Tustin 20 2013 -14 Action Plan and affordable recreation services to children, the majority of whom are of Low - income families. • Boys and Girls Club — The Upward Bound enrichment program is provided by the Boys and Girls Club for the academic, social, and character development needs of at -risk youth in the southwest area of Tustin (CDBG Low- and Moderate - income tracts). The Upward Bound program provides a comprehensive non - student day program for 100 at -risk youth with computerized tutoring and homework assistance, arts, sports, fitness and recreation. CDBG funds will be utilized to pay for a portion of staff's salary. Priority Activity: Childcare Facilities /Services Additional childcare facilities and services that are affordable to Low- and Moderate - income families are needed to serve the number of families in need in the target area. • Kids Corner Preschool — A preschool program will be provided at the Tustin Family and Youth Center. Free preschool services will benefit Low- and Moderate - income families. The program's main objective is to strengthen a child's self image and feelings of competence through activities such as arts and crafts, field trips, storytelling and nutrition education. CDBG funds will be utilized to pay for a portion of staffs salary. Priority Activity: Recreation Facilities The City's CDBG target area was largely developed prior to its annexation by the City of Tustin; therefore, the area is comparatively limited in terms of park and recreational opportunities. The higher population density within the target area also contributes to the need for more recreational facilities. As a result, considerable attention has been focused on ways to provide additional private and public youth, adult, and senior services and facilities to supplement those which are heavily used at this time. Programs to address this priority include: • Frontier Park Sprayground (PY12/13) — CDBG funding has been allocated for the replacement of a concrete amphitheater area with a water play area. The project will include above and below ground spray elements, concrete play surface with sidewalks, and landscaping. This project will improve park experience by providing more amenities for the residents and their children. • Bocce Ball Court (PY 08/09, 09/10) — CDBG funds will be reallocated to this project for the design and construction of two bocce ball courts located within Peppertree Park. The project will include hardscape improvements as well as a seating area. Priority Activity: Street and Sidewalk Improvements /Infrastructure The majority of the streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure in the CDBG target area, were constructed more than 40 years ago. Also, some portions of the target area were never developed with storm drain and/or sidewalks. These facilities have reached the age where they are beginning to deteriorate more rapidly and require reconstruction. With the population growing, the need for new street surfacing and infrastructure is also increasing. The City's objective is to promote the improvement of existing infrastructure and the creation of new infrastructure where such infrastructure is City of Tustin 21 2013 -14 Action Plan nonexistent or completely inadequate. Programs to address the needs of street, sidewalk, and /or infrastructure improvements include: • Williams Street Storm Drain Project — CDBG funds will be used to install a new storm drain on Williams Street northerly to Alliance Avenue, connect the existing 33" storm drain at the intersection of McFadden Avenue and Williams Street, and install a new catch basin at the intersection of Williams Street and Alliance Avenue. • Neighborhood Improvement Task Force Rehabilitation Project (PY 11/12) — CDBG funds will be used for neighborhood improvements such as street lighting upgrades, sidewalk replacement, curb and gutter replacement, and street rehabilitation within areas in the CDBG Target Area. Priority Activity: Senior Services Area senior services are presently provided through the City's full- service senior center located in. Old Town Tustin. While the senior center is geographically close to the CDBG target area, multi- cultural and economic limitations may be preventing full participation in the center's programs. Additional services are necessary to target this population. Current programs include: • Community SeniorSery — Community SeniorServ's Nutrition Program for the elderly includes congregate and home - delivered meals. These programs provide nutritious meals to Tustin's elderly residents. The program's objective is to alleviate poor nutrition among the vulnerable elderly population, especially prevalent among those who live alone and/or on limited incomes. The program not only provides meals at a congregate site in Tustin, but also home delivery of meals to at -risk seniors (homebound) residing within the City. CDBG funds will be allocated to reimburse the raw food and other meals' related costs. Priority Activity: Crime Awareness The target area has become the community's highest priority for crime prevention activities, given the increasing population density and increasing need for police services. Area residents are potential targets for victim - related crime, which might be prevented by the implementation of crime awareness programs which include: • Community Service Program (CSP) — The City will continue to refer at -risk youth to the Assessment and Treatment Services Center (ATSC) Program, managed by CSP. ATSC provides counseling to minor and first -time offenders, youth who demonstrate poor school behavior or performance, youth with family problems, youth who are victims of domestic violence, youth who use drugs or alcohol, or delinquent youth. While program participation is voluntary, a child and his/her entire family must agree to undergo therapy together. Referrals are made to this organization by the Tustin Police and area schools. Counseling services are provided by CSP staff or coordinated with other agencies. CDBG funds will not be allocated to this program. Priority Activity: Anti -Crime Programs Domestic violence has a presence in the City and affects individuals on an emotional, mental and physical level. Many times, victims of domestic violence suffer in silence and do not seek help right City of Tustin 22 2013 -14 Action Plan away. When victims do seek help, they may not know what resources are available. Domestic violence can be prevented or stopped if victims or potential victims have access to support and counseling services. To meet this need current programs include: • Human Options — CDBG funds will be allocated to Human Options, Inc. for the Third Step Program, which provides case management, support, shelter, and counseling services to victims of domestic abuse and their children. The program assists women to be independent and able to maintain a job, household, provide a stable environment for their children, and keep themselves removed from abusive relationships. Priority Activity: Health Services Based on the 2010 census, the Southwest area of the City (CDBG target area) is concentrated with high- density residential and low- income households. Often, the majority of the households' income is utilized to pay for housing. Consequently, limited funds or maybe none at all is set aside for health insurance. Preventive medical and dental care is a luxury that typical households may not be able to afford. Low -cost health services are needed to help the household with preventive health and dental care. Programs to address this need include: • Health and Human Services: The Tustin Parks and Recreation Department offers health services such as fitness programs, hearing test, senior hair cuts, Alzheimer support, housing referrals, counseling, etc. All services are offered free or at small nominal fee to Tustin Seniors. Priority Activity: Code Enforcement Property maintenance issues are of significant importance to the community as the majority of residential, commercial, and industrial structures in the target area are around 40 years in age having been built in the late 1960's and 1970's. Absentee property owners contributed to delayed property maintenance in many cases. Active Code Enforcement is needed to ensure that properties are properly maintained in accordance with City standards. Programs addressing code enforcement include: • Code Enforcement — CDBG funds will be allocated for code enforcement officer salary and benefits for to support the City's Housing Rehabilitation program targeting the southwest neighborhood (Low- and Moderate- income target areas). • Graffiti Removal — CDBG funds will be allocated for the removal of graffiti in the southwest neighborhood. The southwest neighborhood is located within the CDBG Low - and Moderate - income target areas. Priority Activity: Economic Development Stimulating and retaining business within the CDBG target areas is necessary to rejuvenate dilapidated areas, stimulate private investment, strengthen the City's financial base, improve public facilities, create jobs, and prevent further economic decline to enhance the quality of life in the area. City staff resources and funds will be utilized to assist businesses that benefit the CDBG target area. Programs assisting business include. City of Tustin 23 2013 -14 Action Plan • Start up and Technical Assistance — The City Manager's office has assumed the responsibilities of economic development with the dissolution of the City's Redevelopment Agency. The City Manager's office provides businesses with access to a variety of financing programs authorized by either the federal or state government, as well as programs provided by other private, public and nonprofit agencies. The City also facilitates preliminary development/business license application meetings to discuss site location needs that would be of mutual benefit to the City and businesses and may be able to facilitate land assembly assistance or zoning incentives. The Community Development Department provides permit streamlining services to target businesses. • Economic Business Incentive — CDBG funding will be used to provide economic incentives to local businesses for job creation to hire new low /moderate income employees. Priority Activity: Plannin2/Administration Planning services are needed to administer the CDBG program, to prepare planning documents, and to facilitate fair housing assistance - these services are necessary to support other Consolidated Plan priorities. Planning and administration programs include: • Fair Housing Activities — Tustin has distinct and independent policies and programs that affect housing development. From time to time the City will review these policies and programs and evaluate if modifications may be warranted to ensure the jurisdiction is affirmatively furthering fair housing. In addition, CDBG funds will be allocated to contract with the Fair Housing Foundation to provide fair housing services to Tustin residents. The Fair Housing Foundation activities during the 2013 -14 reporting period will include: ■ Fair Housing Community Education — Conduct fair housing community education presentations, publish and distribute fair housing newsletters, speak at public meetings, and hold training programs for consumers and housing industry professionals. ■ Fair Housing Enforcement — Respond to housing discrimination complaints, including investigation and portfolio testing, to evaluate the merits of a fair housing claim, and if appropriate, conciliation and/or prosecution of meritorious housing discrimination cases. • Tenant Legal Assistance — Provide legal assistance in court actions within the region, which involve important housing rights such as eviction, housing discrimination, substandard conditions, or retaliation for exercising a lawful right. • Housing Dispute Evaluation & Resolution — Assist in evaluating housing issues /complaints. • Mediation Program — Resolve disputes through certified mediators to assist housing providers /consumers to reach agreements about the disputes without litigation. • Planning and Administration — CDBG funds will be allocated for City staff administration of the CDBG program. Funds may also be used to undertake specific plans with impact to the Low- and Moderate- income target area. City of Tustin 24 2013 -14 Action Plan • Old Town Study — The project will involve the preparation of a master plan to provide a comprehensive planned vision of Old Town Tustin in order to encourage economic development and coordinated improvements.

The City has no urban renewal settlements, grant funds returned to the line of credit or income from float - funded activities. 3. Citizen Participation and Consultation HUD requires that each jurisdiction encourage its citizens to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan and subsequent Action Plan. To ensure that this opportunity is provided, the City of Tustin adopted its Citizen Participation Plan in 1995 and revised it in January of 2003. In April 2007, the City Council amended the City's Citizen Participation Plan to shift Citizen Participation Committee duties to the Tustin Community Foundation. Foundation board members were charged with the task to review public service project funding applications and to develop a three -year funding recommendation for the City Council. The Tustin Community Foundation represents a broad cross section of City of Tustin residents and has the ability to leverage CDBG funds with private funds to bolster the effectiveness of public service projects. The Citizen Participation Plan set forth policies and procedures for citizen interaction in planning, implementation, and assessment of the City of Tustin Consolidated Plan/Action Plan. The objectives of the Citizen Participation Plan are: 1. To encourage citizens, particularly residents of Low- and Moderate- income living in areas eligible for the use of program funds, including minorities, non - English speaking persons, and persons with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan. 2. To assure that citizens are furnished with appropriate information about the Consolidated Plan and its various component programs. The City started the Citizen Participation process by publishing a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in the local newspaper seeking Request for Funding Applications for Public Services for the 2011 -12, 2012 -13 and 2013 -14 CDBG Program Years. In addition, the City also sent the NOFA to 80 nonprofit organizations. The City received 13 applications requesting $943,822 in funding (PY 2011- 12 — $306,240; PY 2012 -13 — $315,541; PY 2013 -14 — $322,041). The 2013 -14 Action Plan covers programs and projects to be undertaken during the respective year. To develop the City's 2013 -14 Action Plan, two public hearings were conducted. The first public hearing was held by the Tustin City Council on March 5, 2013. The purpose of the first public hearing was to inform interested citizens about the CDBG program, obtain citizens' views on CDBG priorities, and receive a report on the current year public service activities and potential reallocation and allocation of funds. City of Tustin 54 2013 -14 Action Plan A second public hearing was held on May 7, 2013, by the City Council. The purpose of the second hearing was for the City Council to review the Draft Action Plan, including public service and nonpublic service activities, reallocate prior years CDBG funds, and approve a funding allocation for submission to HUD. All notices for the above hearings were published in the local newspaper at least 10 days prior to the hearing date and notices were posted at City Hall and at the library. All citizens were encouraged to participate, and those who required special accommodation were accounted for. The City also, as required by HUD, published a notice of the availability of a Draft Action Plann for public review. The thirty (30) day public review and comment period began on March 14, 2013, and ended on April 12, 2013. Copies of the Draft Action Plan were made available at the City and on the City's website. No comments were received from this public review. 4. Communication The City provides maps and tables to assist citizens in understanding the CDBG overall goals and objectives. Persons interested in the City's CDBG program were also able to obtain information from the City's Webpage. CDBG documents were also available at City Hall, the library, and by fax or electronic mail. 5. Community Vision The City delineates the Community's vision in its Five -year (2010 -2015) Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan outlines community priority needs, short-term and long -term goals, and objectives. A copy of the Consolidated Plan is available to the public upon request at no cost. The City updates the Consolidated Plan as the community's vision and goals change throughout the years. The City annually submits an Action Plan to HUD as an application to receive CDBG funding. Within the Action Plan, the City provides benchmarks on each activity funded. These benchmarks will be utilized to measure the City's progress in achieving the stated goals and vision. 6. Strategies As delineated in the Consolidated Plan, the City strives to address various housing and community needs with limited resources. These actions /strategies are outlined in the various sections of the Action Plan. Section B of this Action Plan describes the activities that the City will undertake to expand economic opportunities. Section C describes the activities and strategies that the City will undertake during the program year to address affordable housing issue. Section E describes the activities that the City will undertake to address the needs of the homeless. Finally, Section I indicates strategies that the City will undertake to address obstacles in meeting the under - served needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, remove barriers to affordable housing, evaluate and reduce lead -based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance the coordination between the public and private housing and social services agencies. City of Tustin 55 2013 -14 Action Plan 7. Action Plan Each year the City prepares an Action Plan that not only functions as an application for CDBG funding to HUD, but it is also provided as a tool to provide the public with information on how the City utilizes its entitlement grant for the program year. The Action Plan provides a description of each activity, the amount of funding, and the projected accomplishment. All applications approved for funding by the City are summarized in the Proposed Project Table (Table 4) of the Action Plan. 8. integrated Approach to Planning and Development Utilizing the Consolidated Plan process, the City was able to identify community needs, goals, and objectives. The City also was able to identify available resources and develop strategies to effectively utilize these limited resources. The Consolidated Plan provides the City with goals and identifiable benchmarks that the can be used to assess accomplishments at the end of program year. Each year the City invites public participation in identifying the needs of the community and prioritizing them in the order of high, medium, low, or no priority. With these identified needs, the City developed its Consolidated Plan/Action Plan and established activities to address these needs utilizing available resources. J. MONITORING SYSTEM To ensure program compliance, the City conducts a regular on -site monitoring visit to each subrecipient. The City established this monitoring procedure to ensure that each subrecipient is carrying out the eligible activity, utilizing appropriate accounting methods, and verifying information provided to the City within the quarterly performance report. The on -site monitoring visit also provides the City with an opportunity to identify potential problem areas and to provide subrecipients with technical assistance as needed. The City utilizes a monitoring checklist form as a standard form to monitor the subrecipients. In addition, all projects are monitored for compliance with all State and federal requirements including, but not limited to, eligibility, environmental impacts and labor regulations.
