| Synopsis: |
The City of Ashland anticipates the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) will allocate approximately $256,000 to the City of Ashland
for the 2004 program year. Additionally the City will reallocate approximately
$96,000 in CDBG funds not spent in prior years. 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 2004 CDBG allocation |
| Recommendation: |
Staff recommends the Council adopt the 2004 CDBG Action
Plan. |
| Fiscal Impact: |
The 2004 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 2004
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 2004 reflects the Community
Development Block Grant award made by the City Council during the November
4th, 2003 public hearing. The availability of the draft plan was advertised
in the Ashland Daily Tidings on November 14th 2002. Additionally the availability
of the Action Plan has been advertised continuously on the City's web-site
since November 14th, and the full document and an updated news item was added
to the City web-site on December 9th 2003. To date, no comments have been
received
