File Number: 13-101 <br />Proposed Changes to the Draft of the FY 2013-2014 Annual Action Plan <br />Congress and the White House have not yet approved a federal budget (the final HUD <br />budget) for the coming fiscal year, and therefore, the City’s FY 2013-2014 CDBG entitlement <br />grant amount is unknown. Per HUD’s guidance and recommendation, staff is reducing the <br />CDBG entitlement grant amount by five percent (5%) from last year’s grant of $560,739. <br />Consequently, the projected total available CDBG funds for projects and activities in FY <br />2013-2014 has been reduced to $532,702. <br />Another change from the Draft Action Plan presented on April 1st is the elimination of $69,192 in <br />unallocated CDBG funds that staff anticipated in carrying over to the upcoming fiscal year <br />2013-2014. These funds were allocated to capital improvement projects in this current FY <br />2012-2013 Annual Action Plan. As a result, there will be no CDBG funds carried over from FY <br />2012-2013 to FY 2013-2014. <br />The following are the proposed changes to the first draft of the FY 2013-2014 Annual Action <br />Plan due to the decrease in CDBG funding. <br />1.Funding for public services shall be reduced from $84,000 to $79,900. At their February <br />26, 2013 public commission meeting, the Human Services Commission (HSC) previously <br />made their final funding recommendations for the original $84,000 for the public services <br />agencies under the FY 2013-2015 Community Assistance Grant Program (CAP) for FY <br />2013-2015. The list below reflects the reduced funding recommendations for public <br />services agencies due to the projected 5% reduction in funding. The HSC approved the <br />reduced funding amounts at their April 24, 2013 meeting. <br />·CALICO - Child Abuse Intervention Project - $9,500 <br />·Davis Street Family Resource Center - Basic Needs Program - $38,000 <br />·Family Emergency Shelter Coalition (FESCO ) - Emergency Shelter - $9,500 <br />·SOS/Meals on Wheels - Senior Support Services (Meal Delivery) - $13,400 <br />·Spectrum Community Services - Senior Nutrition Program - $9,500 <br />2.Funding for General Administration shall be reduced from $102,147 to $96,540. <br />3.Under “Public Facilities and Improvements”, the proposed $55,000 for the ADA <br />Transition Plan for City Facilities shall be decreased to $20,168, and the proposed <br />$82,690 for City-wide handicap accessible curb cuts shall be reduced to $30,000. The <br />City’s $206,094 repayment to HUD for its Section 108 loan will remain the same as it is <br />a contractual obligation. <br />HOME funds are also similarly projected to be reduced by 5%. As a result, the City’s HOME <br />grant amount for FY 2013-2004 shall be decreased from $141,817 to $134,726. HOME <br />administration funds decreases from $8,463 to $8,040 and HOME funds available for project <br />expenditures decreases from $1,045,633 to $1,038,542. This includes the $650,000 in <br />HOME funds committed to the Cornerstone at San Leandro Crossings by Council last <br />summer. <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/30/2013
