STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City has not been officially notified by HUD of its specific, detailed CDBG entitlement
allocation as a result of the enactment of the sequestration cuts under The Budget Control
Act of 2011, which became effective March 1. The sequester reductions are anticipated to
be as much as 8.2%, but at least 5.4%.
Palm Springs is an "entitlement city," meaning that it is a direct recipient of CDBG funds.
The CDBG Program was adopted by Congress thirty-nine years ago to provide a flexible
funding source for local governments to meet the community development needs of their low
and moderate-income persons. CDBG enables local governments to fund three National
Objectives: benefiting low and moderate income persons; preventing or eliminating slums or
blight; and meeting urgent need. The federal statute requires that at least 70% of CDBG
expenditures must benefit low and moderate 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 other
categories, including Public Facilities and Capital Improvements and Housing Rehabilitation.
This coming fiscal year funding will consist of an estimated $311,205 in new entitlement
funding and $70,000 in reprogrammed dollars, totaling $381,205. The total funds available
for 2013-2014, by eligibility category, are as follows:
Public Facilities & Improvements $272,283.
Public Services (includes Fair Housing)......................................... $46,681."
TOTAL PROGRAMMATIC FUNDS.................................................$318,964.
ADMINISTRATION (includes Citizen Participation) 62 241.***
TOTAL CDBG 2013 —2014 FUNDING............................................$381.205.
Public Facilities & Improvements is also being partially funded with
the reprogramming of unexpended activity funds and program
income, both from prior years and current.
Public Service is calculated at 15% of new entitlement funding.
* Administration is calculated at 20% of new entitlement funding.

CDBG 2013—2014 Program Year
Consolidated Plan Compliance
In 2010, the City adopted its required 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, which was approved
by HUD. The Consolidated Plan is the required blueprint for meeting the housing and
community development needs of the city and provides a description of existing housing and
community development needs, a long-term strategy to address those needs and an action
plan for coming years. The City is responsible for preparing an Annual Action Plan update,
which reiterates the City's CDBG goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan,
and incorporates the proposed projects and funding for the new fiscal year.
A key component of the 2010-2015 Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a Strategic Plan, which
includes the goals and objectives included in Attachment "A".
The 2013-2014 Annual Action Plan contains programs that make progress toward the stated
goals and the proposed accomplishments. New Annual Action Plans are prepared and
updated annually. Each Annual Action Plan must contain projects and programs that will
enable the City to meet its five-year goals 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 (RFPs) were made available on December 18, 2012
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 300 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 5tn and January 27th, in The Desert Sun,
and a press release was faxed to all Coachella Valley electronic and print media which
provided information to the community about the availability of CDBG funds.
• Staff conducted a formal RFP Workshop on January 28th that provided technical
assistance and responded to applicants' questions. There were four (4) organizations
represented and staff continued to provide technical assistance on an as needed basis,
including direct assistance to two City departments. Eight new organizations secured
RFPs. The RFP submittal deadline was February 11th. Sixteen (16) RFPs were
distributed. The City received nine (9) funding requests totaling $673,500. This
compares to seventeen (17) proposals last year at $1.4 million requested.
• The Citizens Advisory Committee held its public hearing on February 215t. 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 next fiscal year (2014) proposed CDBG flat funding;
and, timely expenditure scrutiny by HUD. The public hearing was held to receive
testimony about proposed 2013-14 CDBG activities and from organizations submitting
proposals which allowed the Committee members to question the respondents. Other 03

than seven (7) of the nine (9) RFP respondents in attendance who spoke, there were no
public comments received about neighborhood needs. The Committee re-convened on
February 25th to rank the proposals and recommend dollar awards.
• The agenda item before Council this evening represents the second of the two required
public hearings.
• After 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 13tn

funding requests:

All proposals were reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Committee. In some instances, even
though a project met the Consolidated Plan goals, the Committee may not have
recommended the program for funding due to other concerns. Below is a description of all
of the proposals reviewed, including area/clientele to be served, average Evaluation Criteria
Score and recommended allocations for 2013-2014 CDBG funding.
PROJECTS RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING —
Public Facilities & Improvements:
1. City of Palm Springs Public Works & Engineering —Arnico Tract Sewer Improvements:
The proposal is an additional phase in the extension of sanitary sewer to a subdivision

septic tanks, and later annexed to the City in 1991. The main sewer line and
associated sewer lateral connections are being recommended for funding.

Recommended $159,083
2. Desert AIDS Project— Energy-Efficiency Retrofitting: DAP's proposal is the continuation
to phase their facility's energy-efficiency upgrades. These upgrades will replace the
older asphaltic-type roof with a single-ply elastomeric 'cool-roof' which has insulating
and solar reflective properties as well as installation of heat radiated dual-pane
windows and doors, resulting in energy cost savings and preserving funds for direct
client services.
2,304 East County; 2,279 UM; 1,220 PS Residents; 34 Eval Score; Requested $90,000
Recommended $90,000
3. Mizell Senior Center — Energy Conservation Improvements: Mizell's proposal is the
continuation of the re-roof of the remaining portion of their facility. These upgrades will
reduce energy costs and allow more donated funds to go directly to programs and
services.
5,200 Individuals; 4,700 UM; 4,680 PS Residents; 27 Eval Score; Requested $23,200

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
2013-14 ANNUAL PLAN
The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) has established a
requirement that each state and local government receiving federal housing and
community development funds must prepare a coordinated strategy. The goal of the plan
is to integrate housing, economic, human and community development in a
comprehensive fashion so that community living may be enhanced.
The City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) integrates the application, planning
and citizen participation for the CDBG program. The ConPlan was completed in May
2010 and will be updated every five years. An Annual Action Plan is required every year
to describe the housing and community development policies and programs to be
undertaken by the City using federal, state, local and private funds for the next year.
A public hearing will be conducted on Thursday, February 21, 2013 before the Citizens
Advisory Committee (CAC) to provide Palm Springs citizens, community organizations &
other interested parties an opportunity to offer comment regarding the City's Annual
Action Plan. This hearing will be held 1:00 p.m., at City Hall Council Chamber. For
further information regarding the hearing, please contact Dale Cook, Community
Development Administrator, City of Palm Springs Community & Economic Development
Department, P. O. Box 2743, Palm Springs, CA 92263-2743,
