STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City has not received its CDBG entitlement allocation. However, it is estimated that its
allocation for the 2018-2019 fiscal year will be leveled-funding of$362,316.
Palm Springs is an "entitlement city", meaning that it is a direct recipient of CDBG funds from
the federal government. The CDBG Program was adopted by Congress forty-two years ago
to provide a flexible funding source for local governments to meet the community
development needs of their low and moderate-income (Low/Mod) residents and was the first
federal block grant. This direct grant from HUD enables entitlement units of governments to
fund three National Objectives: benefiting Low/Mod income persons; preventing or
eliminating slums or blight; and meeting urgent need. The federal statute also requires that
at least 70% of CDBG expenditures benefit Low/Mod income persons. As an entitlement
grantee, the City has and will continue to utilize these funds for neighborhood revitalization,
preserving decent housing, expanding economic opportunities, and/or improving community
facilities and services, principally to benefit Low/Mod income persons.
There are also statutory limitations on the percentage of CDBG funds that may be utilized
for administrative purposes, at no more than 20% of the entitlement, and Public Services, at
no more than 15% of the entitlement. The remaining funds are to be utilized for public
facilities and capital improvements. Funding next year leveled-funding of $362,316 in new
entitlement funding and $40,728 in reprogrammed dollars, totaling $403,044. The total
funds available for 2018-2019, by eligibility category, are as follows:
Public Facilities and Capital Improvements................................................... $266,234.*
Public Services (includes Fair Housing),.............................................................$54,347.**
Rehabilitation......................................................................................................... 10 000.*
TOTAL PROGRAMMATIC FUNDS..................................................................$330,581.
ADMINISTRATION (includes Citizen Participation & Fair Housing),,,,,,,,,,, 72 463.***
TOTAL CDBG 2018-2019 FUNDING, $403.044.
* This is the 2018-19 allocation only. Public Facilities & Improvements and
Rehabilitation are also to be partially funded with the reprogramming of unexpended
activity funds and program income from the current year.
** Public Service is calculated at 15% of new entitlement funding.
*** Administration is calculated at 20% of new entitlement funding.

CDBG 2018-2019 Program Year
Consolidated Plan Compliance
In 2015, the City adopted and HUD approved its required 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan
("ConPlan"). The ConPlan is a community blueprint for meeting the housing and community
development needs of Palm Springs residents. The Plan provides a description of existing
housing and community development needs, a long-term strategy to address those needs
and an action plan for the coming years. Each year, the City is responsible for preparing an
Annual Action Plan update, which reiterates the City's CDBG goals and objectives contained
in the ConPlan, and incorporates the proposed projects and funding for the new fiscal year.
A key component of the 2015-2019 Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a Strategic Plan, which
includes the goals and objectives included in Attachment "A".
City Council action, with approval of the CDBG budget, will concurrently authorize submittal
of the 2018-2019 Action Plan to HUD. Following Council approval, the Plans will be
available for a thirty (30) day public comment period prior to submission to HUD by May 15tn
This One-Year Action Plan contains programs that make progress toward the stated goals
and the proposed accomplishments. Each Annual Action Plan must contain projects and
programs that will enable the City to meet its five-year accomplishments that are in the
adopted Consolidated Plan.
As a part of the Consolidated/Annual Plan planning process, and a requirement of the
CDBG program in general, HUD requires local governments to include citizen participation in
the process. The following community participation activities were undertaken:
• CDBG Request for Proposals (RFP) was made available on December 28, 2017 through
the City's website registration, and in turn, a fill-in Request For Proposal was e-mailed to
those on-line registrants. The fill-in Microsoft Word format helped make the application
process easier for all potential proposers. In all, e-mail announcements were sent to
nearly 50 organizations and individuals, including previous CDBG Subrecipients, last
year's applicants, and City Departments.
• The Legal Notice was published twice, December 28th and January 17th in The Desert
Sun, providing information to the community about the availability of CDBG funds.
• Staff conducted a formal Pre-Proposal Workshop on January 18th that provided technical
assistance and responded to applicants' questions. There were six (6) organizations
represented and staff continued to provide technical assistance on an as-needed basis,
including direct assistance to three proposers. One (1) new organization requesting an
RFP. The RFP submittal deadline was February 1st. Nine (9) RFPs were distributed.
The City received eight (8) funding requests in responses totaling $505,280. This
compares to seven (7) proposals last year at $386,317 requested.
• The Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) held its public hearing on February 22"d. The
CAC members included of which two were new as incoming Commission Chair and
organizational change:
- Ron deHarte, Human Rights Commission's Chair
- Les Young, Parks & Recreation Commission's Chair
- Doug Donenfeld, Planning Commission Member

Staff briefed the Committee on the past year's CDBG activities, including the status of
projects; agencies' accessibility for all residents — able-bodied and disabled; the
Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report; the potential coming year's
CDBG allocation; the Administration's release of next fiscal year (2018) proposed
budget uncertainties; and timely expenditure scrutiny by HUD.
• The public hearing was held to receive testimony about proposed 2018-19 CDBG
activities from organizations submitting proposals, which allowed the Committee
members to question the proposers, and receive public comments from community
members about CDBG and the City's updated 2019 Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice (AI) activities. All seven (7) RFP respondents were in attendance who
spoke, there were no public comments received about neighborhood or Al needs. The
Committee re-convened on February 26th to rank the proposals and recommend dollar
awards.
• The City Council Public Hearing represents the second of the two required public
hearings.
• After the City Council approves the activities and funding of the Annual Action Plan, the
Plan will be available for a thirty (30) public comment period prior to submittal to HUD by
May 15th

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution as presented, approve the

2018-19 CDBG Budget amount, and the respective Subrecipient Agreements, to the
apportioned difference consistent with HUD's final released Fiscal Year 2018 CDBG
allocation.
