PART II. ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN INTRODUCTION This section of the Action Plan includes the programs and activities that the City of San Leandro will carry out to implement its FY 2005-09 Housing and Community Development Strategic Plan, under the HUD Consolidated Plan, during the next fiscal year. Table l: Summary of Objectives, "FY 2007-08 HUD Annual Action Plan: CDBG and HOME Funds," summarizes how and where the City recommends allocating its available CDBG and HOME funds to in order to implement the FY 2007-08 Action Plan. Exhibit A, "Proposed Projects," lists each project or activity which will receive CDBG funds in FY 2007-08. Exhibit B, "Certifications" are various documentations that HUD mandates grantees to follow. This section also includes a description of how the City will ensure geographic distribution of its resources, the process by which assistance will be distributed in the case that an activity location is currently unknown (e.g., residential rehabilitation programs), activities benefiting homeless and other special needs populations, and other local or State programs being used to further the City's housing and community development goals. CITIZEN P ARTICIP A TION Notices of a summary and the availability of the Draft FY 2007-08 Annual Action Plan for 30- day public comment was published in a locally circulated newspaper on February 16, 2007 and March 17, 2007. The City Council held a public hearing on March 5, 2007 to receive initial public input on the Draft Annual Action Plan and to begin the 30-daycomment from March 14 through April 16. One public comment was made at the March 5, 2007 hearing about the Brown Act and Roberts Rules of Order. The City Manager and City Attorney responded that the City is in compliance with both procedures. The Draft Action Plan was available for public review and comment at City Hall (City Clerk's office and Housing Services Division), the Main Library and the City website during the 30-day period. Also, City staff made a presentation about the proposed Action Plan to the Human Services Commission on March 28, 2007. The Final Action Plan will be approved at a City Council public hearing on April 16, 2007. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION Most of the activities in the Action Plan meet the needs of the entire City. The income structure of the City is fairly diverse, with few low-income census tract areas. Potential sites that could possibly accommodate affordable housing and homeless facilities are identified in the City's Housing Element. The three Redevelopment Project Areas within San Leandro are the Plaza, Joint Area and West San Leandro-MacArthur Boulevard. Draft Action Plan - FY2007-08 City of San Leandro Page 7
