STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City of Palm Springs estimates that its CDBG entitlement for the 2011-2012 fiscal year
will be $545,809. This coming year's entitlement represents level funding from the current
year.
Palm Springs is an "entitlement city," meaning that it is a direct recipient of CDBG funds.
The CDBG Program was adopted by Congress thirty-seven 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, 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 consists of $545,809 in new entitlement funding and
$85,000 in reprogrammed dollars, totaling $630,809. The total funds available for 2011-
2012, by eligibility category, are as follows:

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.
Consolidated Plan Compliance
Last year 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 2011-2012 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 in early January 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 281 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 6th and again February 2"d, 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.

CDBG 2011 —2012 Program Year
• Staff conducted a formal RFP Workshop on February 3rd that provided technical
assistance and responded to applicants' questions. There were twenty (20)
organizations represented and staff continued to provide technical assistance on an as
needed basis, including direct assistance to two City departments. Seven new
organizations secured RFPs, which was an addition to the seventeen (17) last year. The
RFP submittal deadline was February 10th. Thirty-one (31) RFPs were distributed. The
City received eleven (11) funding requests totaling $853,945. This compares to twenty-
two (22) proposals last year at a $1.3 million funding request level.
• The Citizens Advisory Committee held its public hearing on February 24th. 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; Congressional Budget uncertainties; the
Administration's next fiscal year (2012) proposed 7.5% CDBG budget reduction; and,
timely expenditure scrutiny by HUD. The public hearing was held to receive testimony
about proposed 2011-12 CDBG activities and from organizations submitting proposals
,which allowed the Committee members to question the respondents. Other than 7
respondents in attendance who spoke, there were no public comments received about
neighborhood needs. The Committee re-convened on February 28th 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 12th
The following matrices are of the respondents and their respective funding requests:

For the past 25 years, the City has operated a Home Repair Program. This program

repairs and accessibility modifications at nominal costs, including other related health
and safety code work. In cooperation with the City's Fire Department, first year
participants receive standard disaster preparedness items (i.e., natural gas shut-off
valve, hot water heater strapping, smoke detectors, house numbers, and exterior light)
as a part of Project Impact. The annual $1,500 grant excludes the first year Project
Impact items and any Code Enforcement abatement.

6. Fair Housing Council of Riverside Count — Fair Housing Program- Under CDBG
guidelines, the City is mandated to provide its residents a fair housing program. The
Fair Housing Council requested these funds to provide comprehensive services which
affirmatively address and promote fair housing (anti-discrimination) rights and
landlord/tenant services to the City of Palm Springs. This CDBG activity is eligible to
be funded under General Administration. In the past years, the unfunded portion of
Fair Housing's request was filled through the Agency's Low and Moderate Income
Housing Program under a separate agreement. Staff will recommend the same this
year, including continued funding for loss mitigation and foreclosure prevention
activities.

funding.

City Council action will approve the Annual Action Plan and CDBG Budget, as well as
authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements between the City and the 2011-
2012 CDBG Subrecipients and the Funding Approval/Agreement with HUD, which allows
the acceptance of the City's annual CDBG entitlement allocation.
ALTERNATIVE:
Should the City not receive from HUD its final entitlement allocation prior to this meeting,
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution as presented, approve the
Subrecipient Agreements, and authorize the City Manager to appropriately adjust the
2011-12 CDBG Budget amount, and the respective Subrecipient Agreements, to the
apportioned difference consistent with HUD's final released Fiscal Year 2011 CDBG
allocation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund. These dollars are the City's allocated
federal annual entitlement funds from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban
Development Community Development Block Grant program.
