CDBG regulations [per Section 570.200(h)] allow an entitlement grantee such as the City to pre-award eligible activity costs up to the greater of $300,000 or 25% of the FY 2009-2010 entitlement grant (which would equal about $182,000) from future CDBG funds. The City would then be able reimburse itself up to $300,000 from future CDBG funding for the proposed pre-award cost in FY 2009-2010. Consequently, there would be $300,000 less in CDBG funds to commit to other eligible projects in the next program year or $150,000 less in each of the next two program years. 2. Decrease funding for the City-wide Handicap Accessible Curb Cuts by $200,000. However, the City will be proposing to restore approximately $196,000 for accessible curb cuts from CDBG economic stimulus funds (CDBG-R) from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through a substantial amendment to the FY 2008-2009 HUD Annual Action Plan.
