STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City was officially notified on February 10'" by HUD of its FY2015 specific, detailed
CDBG entitlement allocation as a result of the enactment of the "CRomnibus" (a
combination Continuing Resolution and Omnibus) spending package, which became
effective on December 16, 2014 when President Obama signed it into law. This spending
measure provides $3.0 billion for CDBG formula grants, less than a 1% cut from the FY2014
level of$3.03 billon, and $200 million above the President's FY2015 budget request.
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-one 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 govemments to
fund three National Objectives: benefiting Low/Mod persons; preventing or eliminating slums
or blight; and, meeting urgent need. The federal statute also requires that at least 70% of
CDBG expenditures must benefit Low/Mod 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 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 will consist of $343,175 in new
entitlement funding. The total funds available for 2015-2016, by eligibility category, are as
follows:

Consolidated Plan Compliance
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 year.
While the development of a ConPlan is vast task, Staff views this requirement as an
opportunity to evaluate its housing and community development needs and to reassess the
particular priorities, programs, resources and organizational structure which will best meet
the challenges ahead. Moreover, given the limited availability of public and private
resources to address community development needs in the City, the Plan will prove helpful
in assuring that limited funds are utilized as effective and efficiently as possible with the least
duplication of services and most integrated collaboration. This document is the result of
considerable discussion and input from different sources — various City Departments and
HUD staff; and State, County, and local stakeholders.
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".
The ConPlan is comprised of the following components: community profile, housing market
analysis, housing needs assessment, homeless needs, special population needs
assessment, fair housing needs, public housing needs, elimination of lead paint needs,
community development needs, strategic plan, action plan, and certifications.
In addition to collecting and studying statistical data to establish the City's housing and
community development needs, a `needs survey' was also conducted. The survey was
performed in order to help define local priorities for addressing the needs of the community.
Consequently, the survey results provided guidance in the development of the proposed
five-year goals, or strategies, for the ConPlan. The proposed goals represents the needs
that were defined through the analysis of statistical data as well as the needs identified by
our local community through the needs survey.
City Council action, with approval of the CDBG budget, will concurrently authorize submittal
of the 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan and the 2015-2016 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 14th.

CDBG 2015—2016 Program Year
The Housing and Community Development Strategy section of the Consolidated Plan
describes the goals, accomplishments, implementing programs, and the resources the City
will utilize to address the housing, community development and economic development
needs of the City over the next five years. The above referenced goals relate directly to this
Section. The One-Year Action Plan that has been prepared and requires approval, contains
programs that will count towards the stated goals and the proposed accomplishments. After
this year, and for the next four years, a new Action Plan will need to be prepared and
updated annually. Each subsequent Annual Action Plan must contain projects and
programs that will enable the City to meet its five-year accomplishments that are set within
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 (RFPs) were made available on January 5th 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 respondents. In all, postcards and e-mail announcements
were sent to nearly 200 organizations and individuals, including previous CDBG
Subrecipients, last year's applicants, City Departments, and those organizations
requesting to be placed on the mailing list.
• The Legal Notice was published twice, January 2nd and January 25th in The Desert Sun,
which provided information to the community about the availability of CDBG funds.
• Staff conducted a formal RFP Workshop on January 29th that provided technical
assistance and responded to applicants' questions. There were eleven (11)
organizations represented and staff continued to provide technical assistance on an as
needed basis, including direct assistance to three proposers. Fourteen (14) new
organizations requested RFPs. The RFP submittal deadline was February 5th. Twenty-
nine (29) RFPs were distributed. The City received nineteen (19) funding requests
totaling $1,267,811. This compares to eleven (11) proposals last year at $752,937
requested.
• The Citizens' Advisory Committee held its public hearing on February 19t''. 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
reduction; the Administration's release of next fiscal year (2016) proposed budget
uncertainties; and, timely expenditure scrutiny by HUD. The public hearing was held to
receive testimony about proposed 2015-16 CDBG activities and from organizations
submitting proposals which allowed the Committee members to question the
respondents. Other than fifteen (15) of the nineteen (19) RFP respondents in
attendance who spoke, there were no public comments received about neighborhood
needs. The Committee re-convened on February 23'd to rank the proposals and
recommend dollar awards.
• The City Council Public Hearing represents the second of the two required public
hearings. 04

and citizen participation for the CDBG program. The ConPlan will be submitted

federal, state, local, and private funds for the next year.
A public hearing will be conducted on Thursday, February 19, 2015, before the Citizens
Advisory Committee (CAC) to provide Palm Springs citizens, community organizations,

and Annual Action Plan. This hearing will be held at 1:00 pm, PST, in City Hall Council
Chamber. For further information regarding the hearing, please contact Dale Cook,
