COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
AMENDMENTS TO THE 2000-01, 2001-02, AND 2002-03 ACTION PLANS FOR
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 03-48 amending the Action Plan for Fiscal
Years 2000-01, 2001-02, and 2002-03.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposal involves the reallocation or redistribution of CDBG funds from 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 the 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 the
program budget for disbursement of CDBG funds to the activities that will be undertaken
during the program year.
The Community Development Department is proposing to amend the submitted Action
Plans by reallocating funds from slower moving activities to more active activities.
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 the entitlement grant amount for
the current program year. The proposed reallocations, if approved by the City Council,
would allow the City to expedite draw down of CDBG funds to meet the timeliness
requirements.
