RECOMMENDATION:
DATE: MAY I 5 2000 FILE:
SUBJECT: 26th Year Planning
Calendar
REFERENCES: City Commission Agenda
May 25, 2000
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
approving a planning schedule for the 26th Year of the Community Development
Program and other programs funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of May 11, 2000, the City Commission directed the Administration to
return at its next meeting with a proposed recommendation for the allocation of Twenty -
Sixth Year (26th) Community Development Block Grant funds by funding category.
With the approval of a companion item to establish funding levels by category, the
Administration may now move forward with a planning calendar for 26th Year activities.
The Department of Community has developed a planning schedule for 26th Year
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME, HOPWA and Emergency
Shelter Grant (ESG) activities funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD).
There are two (2) key dates in the planning schedule that serve as the steering mechanism
to ensure that the City meets federal requirements in the development of its 26th Year
Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan must be submitted to U.S. HUD within
forty-five (45) days of the beginning of the new funding year. To meet this deadline, the
Annual Action Plan must be submitted to U.S. HUD by August 16, 2000 for the October
1, 2000 start date.
The other key date is that there must be a thirty (30) day public comment period
regarding the Annual Action Plan prior to its submittal to U.S. HUD. Therefore, to meet
this deadline, the City Commission must adopt the Annual Action Plan by July 14, 2000
to meet this requirement. The other dates are more flexible and contingent upon
complementary scheduling issues.
