However, it is estimated that its allocation for the 2017-2018 fiscal year will be $387,462. 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 43 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 represents level funding from the current year of$387,462 in new entitlement dollars. The total funds available for 2017-2018, by eligibility category, are as follows: Public Facilities and Capital Improvements......................................................$.252,333* Public Services (includes Fair Housing)............................................................ ...57 637** TOTAL PROGRAMMATIC FUNDS.................................................... ...............$.309,970 ADMINISTRATION (includes Citizen Participation)........................................ ...77 492*** TOTAL CDBG 2017-2018 FUNDING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,387 462 * Public Facilities & Improvements are 2017-18 allocation only. ** Public Service is calculated at a maximum of 15% of new entitlement funding; this year, there were only 2 applications for public services funding for a total of $57,637. *** Administration is calculated at 20% of new entitlement funding. 02 City Council Staff Report March 15, 2017—Page 3 of 8 CDBG 2017-2018 Program Year Consolidated Plan Compliance In 2015, the City adopted and HUD approved its required 2015-2020 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 2015-2020 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 2017-2018 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 15, 2017. 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 January 15t 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 47 organizations and individuals, including previous CDBG Subrecipients, last year's applicants, and City Departments. • The Legal Notice was published twice, January 15t and January 23`d in The Desert Sun, providing information to the community about the availability of CDBG funds. • Staff conducted a formal Pre-Proposal Workshop on January 25`h 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. Three (3) new organizations requested RFPs. The RFP submittal deadline was February 2"d. Eleven (11) RFPs were distributed. The City received seven (7) funding requests in responses totaling $386,317. This compares to seventeen (17) proposals last year at $958,364 requested. 03 City Council Staff Report March 15, 2017—Page 4 of 8 CDBG 2017-2018 Program Year • The CDBG Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC), which convenes annually to provide additional public input into the CDBG process, is comprised of a representative from each of a number of stakeholder groups. This year, the CDBG CAC was comprised of all new members selected with the intention of avoiding any potential conflict of interest between applicants for CDBG funding and the CAC members reviewing the applications. The CAC was represented by the following members: - Wesley Rankins, Human Rights Commission's Vice Chair - Les Young, Parks & Recreation Commission's Vice Chair - Doug Donenfeld, Planning Commission's Vice Chair - Michael Knight, Riverside County Office on Aging, representing Senior Population - Angelia Fox, Inland Empire HIV Planning Council, representing HIV/AIDS Population - Kathy Cohn, Sunrise Park Neighborhood, representing Targeted Income Qualified Areas. • Staff briefed the CAC 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 (2017) proposed budget uncertainties; and timely expenditure scrutiny by HUD. • The CAC held its public hearing on February 23, 2017, and received testimony about proposed 2017-18 CDBG activities from organizations submitting proposals, which allowed the CAC members to question the proposers, and receive public comments from community members about CDBG and the City's October 2019 Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) activities. Other than six (6) of the seven (7) RFP respondents in attendance who spoke, there were no public comments received about neighborhood or AFH needs. The CAC re-convened on February 27, 2017, 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 15, 2017.
