FY 2001-02 ACTION PLAN AND PROPOSED USE OF COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS
II
SUMMARY
The Community Development Department is proposing to submit to HUD a FY 2001-02
Action Plan which describes the activities that the City will undertake during the program
year and the program budget for disbursement of CDBG funds.
'RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 01-36 approving the proposed use of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for inclusion in the one-year Action
Plan for Fiscal Year 2001-02.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed 2001-02 programs and expenditures will be implemented with CDBG
funds. No impacts to the General Fund are anticipated.
OVERVIEW OF ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, established the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return federal funds to local
communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing
decent housing, suitable living environments, and by expanding economic opportunities,
specifically for Iow and moderate income persons.
To participate in the CDBG program, each jurisdiction is required to prepare a
Consolidated Plan ("The Plan"), a five-year planning document intended to identify a
jurisdiction's overall needs for affordable and supportive housing, community
development, public services, and economic opportunities. The Plan also outlines a
five-year strategy for addressing those needs and identifies resources and programs
which might assist in meeting these goals.
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
FY 2001-02 Action Plan
April 16, 2001
Page 2
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 Weekly. The review period
began on March 1, 2001, and ended on March 30, 2001. 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 15,
2001.
BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW OF CDBG PROGRAM REGULATIONS
The City will receive $736,000 of CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2001-02. These funds are
allocated on a formula basis to cities to carry out activities that provide opportunities to
develop viable urban communities. 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 projects that:
1)
2)
3)
Benefit iow- and moderate-income persons;
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or
Meet community development needs having a particular
urgency (conditions that pose serious or immediate threat to
the health or welfare of the community where other sources
of funding are not available).
The program requires that at least 70 percent of the total CDBG funds must be used for
activities that benefit iow- and moderate-income persons over a one-, two-, or three-
year period, and individual activities designed to benefit Iow- and moderate-income
persons must assist at least 51 percent Iow- 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 program limits the amount of allocation for Public Services activities and Program
Administration. A maximum of 15 percent (15% x $736,000 - $110,400) of the total
FY 2001-02 Action Plan
April 16, 2001
Page 3
grant award may be allocated to Public Service types of activities. A maximum of 20
percent (20% x 736,000 - $147,200) of the total grant award may be expended on
administrative and planning activities.
EVALUATION OF FUNDING REQUESTS
In November of 2000, the City published a Notice Availability of Funding Application
(NOFA) of CDBG funds in the Tustin Weekly and also sent application packages to over
80 non-profit organizations and City of Tustin's various departments.
As a result of the NOFA, 23 applications were submitted totaling $894,992 in funding
requests. These requests consisted of $258,856 from Public Services (non-profits)
category and $636,136 from Non-Public Services category. The request for the Public
Services Category exceeded the maximum allowable allocation by $148,456 or 135
percent.
in prior years the City Council provided direction to staff and the Citizen Participation
Committee regarding priorities for the disbursement of the CDBG funds. The Council
indicated that youth programs and other types of activities which benefit the greatest
number of Tustin residents should receive the highest priority.
An in-house CDBG Project Review Committee evaluated and ranked the Public
Services funding requests. The Project Review Committee is comprised of
representatives from various City Departments (Community Services, Public Works,
Community Development, Finance, and the City Manager's Office). The City Council's
direction and the criteria, identified as Attachment B, was used in the ranking process.
Funding recommendations of the in-house Project Review Committee were transmitted
to the Citizen Participation Committee.
On February 7, 2001, the City held a public hearing (first of the two required public
hearings) and invited all interested organizations and citizens to participate in the CDBG
process. The workshop/meeting was conducted by the Citizen Participation Committee
comprised of members of City of Tustin standing commissions, boards and committees
(Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Cultural Resources
Advisory Committee, and Senior Advisory Committee). The purpose of the meeting
was to review, evaluate, and make a recommendation to the City Council on the
disbursement of 2001-02 CDBG funds.
As a result of the public input received during the hearing, the Committee modified the
CDBG Project Review Committee's recommendation by reducing the funding amount
from City of Tustin Community Services Youth Coordinator program from $54,716 to
$34,700; and, increasing the funding amount for the Boys and Girls Club Right Trak

program and Laurel House program from $7,684 to $25,000 and from $2,500 to $5,200,
respectively.
The following reflects the Citizen Participation Committee's final recommendation:

Note: Due to the number of applications received, staff developed a
chart listing/ranking all applications received (see Attachment C) to
facilitate the Council in making the final decision. Complete
applications can be reviewed at the Community Development
Office and will be available at the April 16th City Council Meeting.
The hearing held by the Council is the second of two required public hearings. Ail
organizations and agencies returning funding applications to the City were notified of
the hearing. This public hearing also was advertised in the Tustin Weekly, a
newspaper of general circulation.
The Council may modify the recommended funding allocations; however, the Public
Services category is limited to a 15 percent maximum allocation ($110,400). A
change in allocation amount of an activity under the Public Services category would
result in a change of funding amount of other activities within the same category.
The Council's decision regarding funding allocation and priorities will be incorporated
within the Action Plan and will be submitted to HUD by May 15, 2001. When final
approval has been given by HUD, each public service non-profit organization
receiving funds will be asked to enter into agreements with' the City requiring
compliance with all federal CDBG regulations relating to reporting, auditing, labor
standards, etc. All CDBG funds are distributed on a reimbursement basis; typically,
no disbursement of monies can be made until expenses are incurred and
documented to benefit the intended program.

B. Resources
There are numerous potential sources of funding which might enable the City of Tustin to
address priority housing and community development needs and specific objectives identified
in the Strategic Plan component of flue Consolidated Plan. However, actual financial resources
currently available to the City are somewhat limited. A variety of resources must be used to
attain the City's goals and objectives, described in the Consolidated Plan. Throughout the fiscal
year, the City will continue to pm'sue additional funding opportunities.
The City's goal is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of available federal, state,
and local funds with private monies in the creation of viable communities, development of
affordable housing, and the maintenance and preservation of existing housing. To ensure the
financial feasibility of a project, the City will consider the use of funds from other sources, such
as Redevelopment Housing 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 for the 2001-02 fiscal year:

C. Activities to be Undertaken
CDBG monies allocated to the City for the 2001-02 funding year will not address all of the
con~n~ity's priority needs. Instead, allocations are focused toward specific projects
addressing high community priorities and producing 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. Included also are actions that
the City will undertake within the program year to address those needs. Table 3 summarizes
the City's priorities, objectives, and goals for the program year.
Housing Needs
Priority Activity Type A: First-time Homebuyers Program
The 1990 Census data as shown in Consolidated Plan Table I-D indicates that approximately 33
percent of the City's renters with low- and moderate-incomes are cost burdened, but less than
15 percent are severely cost-burdened. These conditions indicate that an opportunity may exist
for low- and moderate-income renter households to transition to becoming first-time
homebuyers with some assistance.
To address the above opportunities, various resources will be expended. Housing pro.ams
currently assisted by the City include'
Programs'
Low Interest Rate/Low Down-payment Mortgages;
Downpayment Assistance;
Mortgage Credit Certificate Program.
Priority Type B' Preservation of Existing Affordable Units
The City will continue to preserve its existing affordable housing by utilizing CDBG funds
and other resources such as housing set-aside funds, and other federal and state available
housing funds.
Programs:
Assistance to potential nonprofit acquisition to expired Section 8 project-based
contracts.
City of Tustin
Action Plan
12
Strategies'
Continue to preserve existing assisted housing.
Monitor the implementation of the affordable housing program adopted as a part of
the East Tustin Specific Plan.
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. Funding is provided for code enforcement activities focused in
low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The code enforcement efforts support a
housing rehabilitation program funded with non-federal monies.
Continue to provide opportunities for affordable granny flats and secondary residential
dwelling units in the single-family residential district lots through existing Zoning
Ordinance provisions.
Cominue the provision of counseling and dispute resolution services by the Fair
Housing Council of Orange County.
Continue the provision of services by the Fair Housing Council of Orange Comity to
ensure equal housing opportunities within the City.
Ensure that processing of permits for low- and moderate-income housing are fast-
tracked with Iow- and moderate-income housing permits being given priority over
other permit applications.
Priority Activity Type C: Rehabilitation of Existing Housing Stock
As indicated in the Consolidated Plan, a large number of older housing units are located within the
South Central and Town Center redevelopment project areas. These older homes are in need of
rehabilitation. Currently rehabilitation programs have been targeting specific areas located in the
southwest portion of the City.
Programs'
Owner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants.
Multi-Family Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Conservation to Ownership Housing.
CiW of Tustin
Action Plan
13
Rental Rehabilitation Loans and Grants.
Small Project Multi-Family Rental Acquisition and Rehabilitation.
Strategies:
Require appropriate deed restrictions to ensure continued affordability for low- or
moderate-income housing constructed or rehabilitated with the assistance of public
or Redevelopment Agency funds, as legally required.
Allocate available CDBG and Redevelopment Agency funds to finance public
improvements and rehabilitation of residential units in the City's target areas.
Use 20 percent housing set-aside funds as subsidies (i.e. land write downs, acquisition,
and rehabilitation assistance grants and loans, etc.) from the South/Central
Redevelopment Project to reduce the affordability gap for developing new
rehabilitating existing owner and rental units for Iow- and moderate-income
households.
Priority Activity Type D: New Housing Construction
With the exception of development opportunities that will occur on the MCAS-Tustin base site, the
City is mostly built out. Consequently, the City has limited opportunities for new ownership and
rental construction on infill sites in the City. This program would assist the development of
affordable units within newly constructed projects in either South Central or Town Center project
areas.
Programs:
New Owner Housing Construction
New Senior Rental Construction
Strategy:
The City will assist in the development of affordable new owner or senior rental
housing. Priority would be given to ownership housing consistent with the City's
Housing policy.
The City will provide for mixed-use site oppOrtunities in Old Town where new
ownership tow~omes could be constructed.
The City will provide referrals to the Orange County Housing Authority where
necessary for the development and operation of federally assisted low- and moderate-
income housing programs.
City o~'Tustin
Action Plan

Priority Activity Type E' Support and Ancillary Services
To support affordable housing units for a particular groups such as' low- and very low-income
households, homeless, and families in transition from homelessness to independent living.
Progrmus:
Homeless Housing Partnership Program
Section 8 Certificate and Vouchers
Strategies:
The City supports activities of the Orange County Mission in obtaining financial
assistance to provide needed rehabilitation of housing facilities located at MCAS-
Tustin.
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 certificates and
support the County's efforts to obtain continued Federal funding.
Community Development Needs
The Community Development needs are summm'ized below.
Priority: 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 its park and recreation resources available to area youth desiring to participate in
constructive, affordable, and organized activities.
Program:
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 affordable recreation services to children, the majority of whom are
of low-income families.
Boys and Girls Club (Right Trak Program) - CDBG funds will be allocated to Boys
and Girls'Club of Tustin to provide Right Trak progrmrt for approximately 300 m-risk
City of Tustin
Action Plan
15
youth. The program-will include: education, leadership, job training, health education
(alcohol, drug & teen pregnancy), envirom'nental trips, gang prevention, and special
event programs. The Right Trak program will be provided after school at the Boys and
Girls Club's main facility. The majority of the children who participate at the branch
Boys and Girls Club are comprised of low- and moderate-income families.
Priority: Neighborhoo'd Facilities
Community facilities to serve children, youth, and adults are high priorities for the City of
Tustin. The number of existing facilities in the City are not adequate to serve the growing
population and the changing needs of target-m'ea residents.
Programs:
Frontier Park. Frontier Park is a local park serving the immediate residents within the
vicinity. The park is in need of rehabilitation to meet ADA requirements m~d to
provide newer, safer play equipment for the children within the immediate vicinity.
Prior year CDBG funds will be utilized to complete this project.
Priority: Childcare Facilities/Services
Childcare facilities and services that are affordable to low- and moderate-income families are
inadequate to serve the number of families in need in the target area.
Program:
Orange Children and Parems Together, Inc.- Head Start Pre-school program. CDBG
funds will be allocated for rental of a portion of the Tustin Family Youth Center to be
used for a Head Start pre-school progrmn serving Tustin's soUthwest neighborhood.
All of the children who participate in this program are from low- m~d moderate-
income families.
Priority' Recreation Facilities
The City's CDBG target area was largely planned and developed prior to its mmexation to
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 recreational facilities. As a result, considerable attention has been
focused on ways to provide additional private and public youth, adult, and senior services
m~d facilities to supplement those which are heavily used at this time.
City of Tustin
Action Plan
Program'
MCAS-Tustin Legacy Community Park. With the closing of the MCAS-Tustin in
July of 1999, the City is undertaking steps to rehabilitate existing amenities within
the base. Prior year, along with current year, CDBG funds will be utilized for the
rehabilitation of the existing buildings to accommodate a community center, sports
field maintenance, demolition of underutilized structures and facilities, and upgading
health and safety code requirements.
Priority: Street and Sidewalk Improvements/Infrastructure
The majority of the street and sidewalk improvements, as well as other types of infrasm~cture
in the target area, were constructed more than 25 years ago. Also, some areas were never
developed with sidewalks. These facilities have reached the age where they beginning to
deteriorate more rapidly and require reconstruction. With the population growing, the need
for new street and infrastructure is also increasing. The City objective is to promote the
improvement of existing infrastructure and the creation of new infrastructure where such
infrastructure is nonexistent or completely inadequate, as on the MCAS-Tustin base property.
Program:
Valencia/Alrnstrong Street Construction- Valencia/Armstrong Avenue are located
within the MCAS base in Tustin. The MCAS base closed in July of 1999. As part
of the economic development, major-street construction needs to be completed to
accommodate the future uses at the base. CDBG funds will be allocated for the
construction costs of the Valencia Avenue from Am~strong Avenue through MCAS
Tustin.
Priority: Senior Services
Area senior services are presently provided through the City's full-service senior center
located in Old Town Tustin. Although the senior center is not geographically distant from the
target area, multi-cultural and economic limitations and barriers may be preventing full'
participation in the center's programs. Additional services are necessary to target this
population.
Program:
Feedback Foundation- Tustin TLC Nutrition Program for the Elderly. The Feedback
Nutrition Program for the elderly (including congregate and home-delivered meals)
provides nutritious meals to the Tustin's elderly. The .progrmn objective is to alleviate
poor nutrition among the vulnerable elderly population, especially prevalent among
those who live alone and/or on lh~aited incomes. The program not only provides meals
City of Tustin
Action Plan
17
at a congregate site in Tustin, but also deliver 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: 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. The
population is a potential target for victim-related crime which could be prevented by the
implementation of crime awareness programs.
Program:
Assessment and Treatment Services Cemer (ATSC) - CDBG funds will be allocated
to the ATSC to provide staff for youth and family counseling services. ATSC
provides counseling to minor and first-time offenders of the law, youth who
demonstrate poor school behavior or performance, Youth with family problems or who
are victims of domestic violence, and youth who use drugs or alcohol or who are
delinquent. While pro.am pm'ticipation is voluntary, a child and lfis/her entire family
must agree to undergo therapy together. Refen:als are made to this organization by the
Tustin Police and area schools. Counseling services are provided by ATSC staff or
coordinated with other agencies.
Priorit3,: Health Services
Based on the 1990 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 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. As such, low-cost health services are needed to help
the household with preventive health and dental care.
Program'
TAFFY (Dental Clinic)- CDBG funds will be allocated to TAFFY to provide dental care
to low-income persons with a particular emphasis on children. The program will provide
dental care which includes prevention, treatment, and restoration at a sliding-scale fee or
at no cost to the low-income persons.
Priority: Code Enforcement
Property maintenance issues are of significant importance to the community as the majority
of residential, commercial, and industrial structures in the target m'ea are at least 25 years in
City of Tustin
Action Plan
18
age. Absentee property owners contributed to delayed property maintenance in many cases.
.Active Code Enforcement is needed to ensure that prope.rties are properly maintained in
accordance with City standards.
Program'
Code Enforcement- CDBG funds will be allocated for salary and benefits for one
code enforcement officer 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 has been determined by HUD
as the CDBG low- and moderate-income target areas.
Priority: Economic Development
To stimulate businesses within the CDBG target m'eas, the City initiated a Commercial
Rehabilitation program. The program will provide financial assistance to private for-profit
businesses for fagade improvements. Monetary assistance will be provided for either design
or construction costs.
Program:
Old Town Commercial Rehabilitation- Prior CDBG funds will be utilized to provide
grant funding for design of commercial building rehabilitation within the Old Town
redevelopment area.
Priority: Planning/Administration
Planning Services are needed to administer the CDBG program, to prepare a master plan on
the MCAS-Tustin property, and to provide fair housing assistance. These services are
necessary to support the other priorities.
Program:
Various planning studies related to the closure of the MCAS-Tustin. With the closure
of the MCAS-Tustin base in July of.1999, the City is actively preparing appropriate
documents to support the Reuse Plan for potential interim and future uses of the"base.
This includes the Supplemental EIR for the creation of a redevelopment project area
within the base and the fifty-two (52) acres site adjacem "off-base" property.
Fair housing activities- CDBG funds will be allocated to contract with the Fair
Housing Council of Orange County to provide fair housing services to T'ustin
City of Tustin
Action Pla(~
19
residents. Services include landlord/tenant dispute resolution, education, counseling,
and fair housing monitoring and compliance. The contract also includes the
implementation of the Analysis of Impediment to Fair Housing Choice.

Geographic Distribution
Tustin is a relatively small jurisdiction with limited areas which meet the federal criteria of
slum and blight, as defined under California State Redevelopment Law, or concentrations
of low- and moderate-income persons. NevertheleSs, FY 2001-02 funds have been allocated
on the basis of meeting the national objectives of the CDBG program, including programs
addressing slum and blight and/or benefiting low- and moderate-income persons.
Further, boundaries of the South Central redevelopment project area overlap areas of low-
and moderate-income concentrations. The Tustin community believes it is important to
focus public services and improvements in that portion of the City known as the Southwest
Neighborhood. The 2001-02 Action Plan reflects those "geographic" priorities for allocating
investment.
Maps illustrating Tustin's target areas for CDBG funded projects are on the following pages.

Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities
Statistical data, including the 1990 census and data maintained by the Tustin Police
Department, indicate that homelessness is not a major issue within the Tustin conuuunity.
Nevertheless, it is recognized that homelessness is a regional issue for which the City of
Tustin must provide a "fair share" of services to address the needs of the homeless.
Activities to Address Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing Needs of Homeless
Individuals and Families
In late 1996 and 1998, Tustin was awarded more than $1 million and approximately
$800,000, respectively, for a supportive housing facility under the Continuum of Care
Homeless Assistance Grant program. The grant will be used to renovate existing military
barracks for use as a transitional living facility for 192 single men and women.
In addition, there will be fifty (50) transitional housing units to be operated by several
nonprofit organizations at the Tustin Legacy. Descriptions for these facilities are provided
in Table 3. For FY 2001-02, the City will allocate funds for Laurel House, a local
temporary shelter for teens, using CDBG funds.
,
Activities to Prevent Low-income Individuals and Families with Children from Becoming
Homeless
The City of Tustin participates in the County of Orange Cominuum Care program. The
Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) established a Family Self-Sufficiency
Program. Preference for this program is given to families with children who m'e homeless
or who are in danger of becoming homeless (those paying over 50 percent of household
income for rent). In addition to providing housing assistance, this program provides a
variety of support services designed to assist participants become economically
independent including job training and employment for program participants.
Tustin has allocated the maximum allowable mount of its CDBG funds to public service
programs. While some of the organizations funded do not directly serve the homeless,

Program - Specific Requirements
CDBG - A description of all CDBG funds expected to be available during the 2001-02
program year is provided in Table 1. A more comprehensive listing of the City's proposed
use of those funds is provided in Table 4. No program income has been received from the
previous program year; none is 'anticipated for 2001-02. The City has no urban renewal
settlements, grant funds returned to the line of credit, or income from float-funded activities.
Citizen Participation and Consultation
HUD requires that each jurisdiction encourage its citizens to participate in the development
of the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan. To ensure that this opportunity is provided, the City
of Tustin adopted its Citizen Participation Plan in 1995. The Citizen Participation Plan sets
forth policies and procedures for citizen participation in planning, implementation, and
assessment of the City of Tustin Consolidated Plan/Action Plan.-
The objectives of the Citizen Participation Plan are'
o
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.
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
the 2001-02 CDBG funds. In addition, the City also sent the NOFA to over 80 nonprofit
organizations. The City received 23 applications totaling $894,992 in funding requests.
To develop the City's 2001-02 Action Plan, two public hearings were conducted. The first
public hearing was held during the preparation of the Action Plan. The hearing was held on
February 7, 2001. The purpose of the first hearing was to obtain citizens' input and views on
possible needs, goals, and objectives; to inform citizens about the CDBG program goals and
objectives, including its process and procedures; and, to receive input and reconamendations
on the proposed use of CDBG funds to the City Council. The second public hearing was held
on April 16, 2001. The purpose of the second hearing was for the City Council to review the
Citizen Participation CormTfittee's recommendation on the proposed use of CDBG funds for
Fiscal Year 2001-02 for submission to HUD.
City of Tustin

Action Plan
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
Plan for public review. The thirty (30) day public review and comment period began on
March 1,2001, and ended on March 30, 2001. No comments were received from this public
review.
J~
Ke
Communication
The City of Tustin provides its Citizen Participation Committee with a package of CDBG
materials and conducted a workshop to explain the CDBG process and procedures. The City
also provides maps and tables to assist citizens in understanding the CDBG overall goals and
objectives. The City utilized the HUD provided Community 2020 software in developing the
CDBG low- and moderate-income target areas map and the CDBG proposed projects location
map. The City, with the help of HUD, posts its Executive Summary on the HUD web page
as a tool for interested citizens to understand the type of projects funded by the CDBG
program. The city prepares a performance report at the end of the program year utilizing the
IDIS program.
Community Vision
The City delineates the Conuuunity's vision in its Five-year (2000-2005) Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan outlines community priority needs and its short-te~xn and long-term
goals and objectives. A copy of Consolidated Plan is available to the public at no cost upon
request. The City updates this Consolidated Plan as the community's vision and goals change
throughout the years. Annually, the City submits an Action Plan to HUD as an application
to'receive 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.
Strategies
With limited resources, the City strives to address the affordable housing, economic
opportunity and Continuum of Care issues. Section C of this Action Plan describes the
activities and strategies that the City will undertake during the program yem' to address the
Affordable Housing issue. Section F indicates strategies that the City will undertake to
address obstacles in meeting the under-served needs, foster and maintah~ 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 enhm~ce the
coordination between the public and private housing m~d social services agencies.

Section E of this Action Plan describes the activities that the City will undertake to address
the homeless population. The City in its Consolidated Plan addresses the Continuum of Care
strategies in further detail.
Section C Of.this Action Plan describes the activities that the City will undertake to expand
its economic opportunities. Due to the closure of the MCAS-Tustin, the City is cautiously
undertaking an economic development plan to address all the economic oppommities that will
be available.
Ce
Me
Ne
Action Plan
Each year the City prepares an Action Plan not only for submission to HUD, but also to utilize
the' Action Plan 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 of the above are
summarized in the Proposed Project Table (Table 4) of the Action Plan.
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 effectively
utilize the funds. The Consolidated Plan provides the City with strategies, goals, and
identifiable benclxmarks that the City can assess at the end of program year for program
achievements.
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 develops its Consolidated Plan/Action Plan by establishing activities to
address those needs utilizing the available resources.
Monitoring System
To ensure program compliance, the City conducts a formal on-site monitoring visit to each
subrecipient. The City established a 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 oppommity to identify potential problem areas
and to assist the subrecipients with technical assistance. The City utilizes a monitoring
checklist form (see appendix 3) as a standard form to monitor the subrecipients.
