Planning Department |

January 21, 2003 |
| Submitted By: |
John McLaughlin, Department of Community Development,
Director
Brandon Goldman, Assistant Planner |
| Synopsis: |
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) allocated $256,000 to the City of Ashland for FY 2003. Additionally
the City will reallocate $22,000 in CDBG funds not spent in prior years.
As such the City will expend a total of $278,000 in program year 2003.The
Action Plan is required to show consistency in the use of Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds with Ashland's five-year Consolidated Plan. The
City is required to hold a public hearing to receive comments on the Action
Plan. The Department of Housing and Urban Development must approve the Action
Plan prior to the release of the 2003 CDBG allocation. |
| Recommendation: |
Staff recommends approval of the Action Plan. |
| Fiscal Impact: |
The Action Plan explicitly identifies the use of
the CDBG funds allocated to the City of Ashland and each sub-recipient.
Additionally, 20% ($51,200) of the total program year grant award ($256,000)
is designated to be used for administration, thus the staff time expended
for administration of the program is not paid out of the General Fund. |
| Background: |
In May 2000, the City approved an updated Five-Year
Consolidated Plan.. The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to provide a
strategy for the use of CDBG funds to, as defined by federal regulations,
"to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable
living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally for low-
and moderate-income persons."
HUD has estimated an allocation of $256,000 to the City of Ashland
for 2003 Program Year. The City must provide an Action Plan on a yearly basis
to demonstrate the consistent use of current CDBG dollars with the Five-Year
Consolidated Plan. The attached Action Plan for PY 2003 reflects the Community
Development Block Grant award made by the City Council during the September
17th, 2002 public hearing. The availability of the draft plan was advertised
in the Ashland Daily Tidings on December 19th 2002. Additionally the availability
of the Action Plan has been advertised continuously on the City's web-site
since December 13th, 2002. To date, no comments have been received. |
