PUBLIC HEARINGS
ID#22-280 Substantial Amendments to United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan for the Hebbron Family Center CDBG Project Received report from Planning Manager Rod Powell regarding the City’s State grant award of $8.1 for the reconstruction of the Hebbron Family Center. To initiate the process, Library and Community Services and Public Works Departments identified a consultant to assist with construction and program management in an amount of $1.3 million. The departments requested CDBG funding from the Community Development Department (CDD) to offset pre-development costs. Staff has reviewed the request in consultation with HUD and deemed the project as an eligible activity to receive CDBG funds as it is located within the City’s Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy benefiting a Low Mod Area where 51% of the residents fall within the low and moderate-income categories. The emergence of a new, priority project for CDBG, the Hebbron Family Center, requires the execution of a second amendment to the FY 2020-2021 AAP and a first amendment to FY 2021-2022 AAP. In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, a formal Substantial Amendment process is required as the City is proposing to de-obligate and reallocate more than 25% of its CDBG funds from the Sherwood Recreation Center Phase IV (FY 2020-2021) and Chinatown Improvements (FY 2021-2022) projects towards the new Hebbron Family Center project. Funds for Sherwood and Chinatown are proposed to be restored in the FY 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan.
Upon motion by Councilmember Cromeenes, seconded by Councilmember McShane, Resolution authorizing the submission of a Second Substantial Amendment to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and a First Substantial Amendment to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan; and authorize the allocation of $798,633 in FY 2020-2021 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $607,980 in FY 2021-2022 CDBG funds to the Hebbron Family Center project was approved.
