CDBG Contract Closeouts

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a report summarizing the accomplishments performed under State CDBG Agreements I8-CDBGI29ll, 20-CDBG-12000, 20-CDBG-CVI-00030, 20-CDBG-CV2-3-00017; solicit citizen input regarding expenditures and accomplishments of the funding received under these contracts and direct staff to proceed with submitting required documents for closeout to the State.

BACKGROTJND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program authorizes the use of funds to assist low- and moderate-income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. There are two types of CDBG programs: "entitlement" and "nonentitlement". Metropolitan cities and urban counties are entitled to receive annual grants under the o'entitlement" program direct from HUD. Metropolitan cities are principal cities or Metropolitan Areas (MAs) or other cities within MAs that have populations of at least 50,000. Urban Counties are within MAs that have population of 200,000 or more excluding the population of metropolitan cities within their boundaries.

The "non-entitlement" program is administered by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The City has applied for funding under the State's competitive application process for many years and has been very successful obtaining monies for various projects/program, including, but not limited to: street improvements, sewer line improvements, water line improvements, senior center rehab, park improvements, VFW rehabilitation, and more.

In order to officially close out a contract with HCD, the City is required to first conduct a public hearing to solicit input regarding expenditures and accomplishments of the funding received under the contract and then submit required documents to HCD. Four of the City's contracts with HCD are ready for closeout and have been listed below.
18-CpBG-12911
In July 2020, the City received 2018 CDBG funding (18-CDBG-l29ll) in the amount of $2,350,000. The funded activities and summary of their accomplishments are as follows:

Waterline Improvements - CDBG funds were expended to replace approximately 4,200linear feet of water lines, 24 water valves, 6 fire hydrants and 84 water service laterals in low/moderate income areas of the City to benefit approximately 2.330 people (according to census data). The waterlines were located along Zozaya Street, Allardt Drive, Mendoza Avenue, T Street, Logue Street and R Street. This work was completed by Emmett's Excavation, Inc. a
20-cpBG-12000
On September 2020, the City received 2020 Over The Counter (OTC) CDBG funding (20-CDBG-12000) in the amount of $4,066,094 for the construction of the new Fire Station. The Fire Station will serve the entire community which qualifies as an "LMA" community. The work was completed by Ardent General.

On March 27,2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in response to the impacts of the COVID-l9 pandemic. The State Department of Housing and Community Development published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CDBG-CV) funds. The City was eligible to receive $79,859 based on a formula provided by HCD for round I of CV funds and $290,601 for round 2 of CY funds. The following contracts are ready for closeout:
2O-CDBG-CVI-00030 for $18,500 to expand the food box distribution program that is operated by The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army provides approximately 300 food boxes on a monthly basis to families in need.
20-CDBG-CV2-3-00017 for $55,000 to expand the food box distribution program that is operated by The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army provides approximately 300 food boxes on a monthly basis to families in need.

All programs and projects listed above have now been completed or reached their 36-month grant term with the State. Staff has submitted final funds requests for all eligible expenses and will be packaging the required closeout documents to initiate the closeout process.

City staff has one remaining CV contract that is still "open" and will be closing out that final contract in the Fall of2023.

FISCAL IMPACT
All CDBG funds are l00o/o grant funded

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following altematives to consider:

1. Open the public hearing, receive public cofiment, review the accomplishments performed, provide direction for staffto send closeout reports; or

2. Provide altemative direction to staff.

PTTBLIC NOTIFICATION

Consideration of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application and review of eligible activities/projects
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council: 1) review the program and available funding options and staff recommendations; 2) open the public hearing; 3) receive public comment regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and possible activities and projects to be considered for funding under the upcoming NOFA process; 4) close the public hearing; 5) discuss potential applications/recommendations; and 6) direct staff to prepare a CDBG application for Council consideration.

BACKGROUND:

The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) will publish a NOFA for the 2023 Non-Entitlement CDBG funds in the coming weeks/month. Eligible applicants may submit applications for CDBG funds under the NOFA. Although the "official" NOFA has not yet been released, to meet the application deadlines and requirements, we are conducting the required outreach and public hearing to determine the best use of the funds. Based on information provided by HCD, we do anticipate a very small pool of funding being available, thus the funding will be extremely competitive this year with very few awards anticipated.

Staff anticipates submitting an application under the 2023 NOFA (maximum of 2 (two) activities but only one per category). Over the counter items (OTC) are those that are funded on a first come first served basis and are not ranked by competitive criteria. The eligible activities under the 2023 CDBG NOFA may include the following up to the maximum of $3,250,000:

Public Service (maximum grant of $250,000), for one service. Examples include childcare, health care, recreation programs, fair housing counseling, drug and alcohol abuse counseling and testing, homeless services, food bank, senior services, and nutrition services benefiting low- and moderate-income persons.

Planning and Technical Assistance (maximum grant of $250,000 for one study/plan). The product must show a connection to assisting with an eligible CDBG activity that, if implemented, meets a National Objective. Completed planning documents are submitted to the State at the time of completion. The grants may require match; in the past a $5,000 cash match to be expended prior to expenditure of CDBG funds - the NOFA will outline this final amount.
