The Action Plan may also <br />include activities which the grantee certifies are designed to meet other community development needs having <br />a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare <br />of the community, and other financial resources are not available); <br />2.Overall Benefit - The aggregate use of CDBG funds including section 108 guaranteed loans during program <br />year(s) 2014, (a period specified by the grantee consisting of one, two, or three specific consecutive program <br />years), shall principally benefit persons of low and moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70 <br />percent of the amount is expended for activities that benefit such persons during the designated period; <br />3.Special Assessments - It will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted with <br />CDBG funds including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds by assessing any amount against properties owned <br />and occupied by persons of low and moderate income, including any fee charged or assessment made as a <br />condition of obtaining access to such public improvements. <br />However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the capital costs <br />of public improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other revenue sources, an <br />assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the public improvements financed by <br />a source other than CDBG funds. <br />The jurisdiction will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted with CDBG funds, <br />including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or assessment attributable to <br />the capital costs of public improvements financed from other revenue sources.

Also, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate-income (not low-income) <br />families, an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements financed by a <br />source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds to cover the assessment. <br />Excessive Force -- It has adopted and is enforcing: <br />1.A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its jurisdiction against any <br />individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and <br />2.A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or exit from a facility <br />or location which is the subject of such non-violent civil rights demonstrations within its jurisdiction. <br />Compliance With Anti-discrimination laws -- The grant will be conducted and administered in conformity with <br />title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC 2000d), the Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601-3619), and <br />implementing regulations. <br />Lead-Based Paint -- Its activities concerning lead-based paint will comply with the requirements of part 35, <br />subparts A, B, J, K and R, of title 24. <br />Compliance with Laws -- It will comply with applicable laws.
