Background
The Annual Action Plan is a document required by HUD illustrating how the

Entitlement funding will be expended during FFY2018/FY 2019 (see attached).

The Annual Action Plan is an annual update of the City's Five Year Consolidated

Plan for the years 2017 - 2021.



The City has prior year CDBG allocations that will be allocated to projects in

FY 2019 which require a substantial amendment to the 2014 ? 2017 Annual Action

Plans. We are also submitting a substantial amendment to the NSP 1 & 3 Action

Plans to use program income for land banking activities for the acquisition and

redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed properties.



A public hearing was held on June 25, 2018, and the required public comment

period expired on July 9, 2018. These plans must be submitted to HUD no later

than August 16, 2018.
Analysis
A resolution is needed to authorize the filing of the Annual Action Plan, the

substantial amendment to the 2014 ? 2017 Annual Action Plans, and NSP 1 & 3,

and applications for programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing

and Urban Development (HUD).

Financial Considerations
The sources of federal funding and programs for FFY2018/FY 2019 are the

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in the amount of $2,256,354, the HOME

Investment Partnership Program (HOME) in the amount of $1,024,592, and NSP 1 &

3 program income in the amount of $550,677.
