STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City of Palm Springs estimates that its CDBG entitlement for the 2009-2010 fiscal year
will be $506,696. This coming year's entitlement represents a 1.3% increase in funding from
the current year which ended a seven year decline of funding, totaling $144,973 in the City's
entitlement allocation.
Palm Springs is an "entitlement city," meaning that it is a direct recipient of CDBG funds.
The CDBG Program was adopted by Congress thirty-five 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
City Council Staff Report
April 1, 2009—Page 3 of 13
CDBG 2009—2010 Program Year
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 $506,696 in new entitlement funding and
$36,155 in current year reprogrammed, totaling $542,851. The total funds available for
2009-2010, by eligibility category, are:
Public Facilities & Improvements.....................................................$319,008.*
Public Services.................................. ...I—-... ................................. $76,004."
Rehabilitation........................................................................................ $46,500.
TOTAL PROGRAMMATIC FUNDS.................................................$441,512.
ADMIN (includes Citizen Participation & Fair Housing)............... 10$ 1,339.' `
TOTAL CDBG 2009 —2010 FUNDING..........................................$542,851.
Public Facilities & Improvements could be supplemented with
program income, if any, and any reprogrammed funds from
unexpended activities from prior years.
** Public Service is calculated at 15% of new entitlement funding.
Administration is calculated at 20% of new entitlement funding.
Consolidated Plan Compliance
In 2005 the City adopted its required 2005-2010 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 2005-2010 Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a Strategic Plan, which
includes the goals and objectives included in Attachment "A".
The 2009-2010 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.

CDBG 2009—2010 Program Year
As a part of the Consolidated Plan/Annual Plan 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 235 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 on January 19th and 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. It
also appeared on the City's website and Channel 17.
• Staff conducted a formal RFP Workshop on February 4th that provided technical
assistance to applicants. Community Access Center of Riverside County, whose
mission is to create an accessible community, partnered with the City this year in
providing an overview of ADA and Section 504 accessibility guidelines. Nineteen
agencies attended the workshop. Sixty-eight RFPs were distributed, which included
forty-three new organizations. The submittal deadline was February 20th. The City
received 21 funding requests totaling $1,419,126, compared to 25 proposals received
last year, totaling $1,128,737 in requests.
• The Citizens Advisory Committee held its public hearing on February 271h. Staff
briefed the Committee on the past year's CDBG activities, including the status of
projects, the Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report, entitlement
funding decreases, timely expenditure scrutiny by HUD, and the Administration's
2008 proposed budget impacts. The public hearing was held to receive testimony
from organizations submitting proposals, allow Committee members to question the
respondents, and receive public comments from community members about CDBG
and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) activities. Other than 19
respondents in attendance who spoke, there were six Desert Highland Gateway
Estates neighborhood residents who made public comments about neighborhood
needs. The Committee re-convened on March 16 to rank the proposals and
recommend dollar awards.
• The City Council Public Hearing 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 30 day public comment period prior to its submittal to HUD by
May 15.

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 2009-
2010 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 would recommend that the City Council adopt the resolution as presented, approve
the Subrecipient Agreements, and authorize the City Manager to appropriately adjust the
2009-10 CDBG Budget amount, and the respective Subrecipient Agreements, to the
apportioned difference consistent with HUD's final released Fiscal Year 2009 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.
