Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)Mid-year Budget Review (Julie Barnard,Downtown
Coordinator)
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
This memorandum serves to update the CDBG Subcommittee (Subcommittee) on:
1.The fiscal year (FY) 2016-2017 CDBG mid-year budget review.
2.The recommendation to establish a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF).
3.Possible FY17-18 CDBG Projects.
FY 16-17 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT
On April 27,2016,the City Council awarded CDBG and HOME administrative funds to 10 of the 11 sub-
recipients who applied for funding.One nonprofit group,Parca,unexpectedly withdrew their application after
their funds were approved,which leaves the City with an additional $6,500 available.The Subcommittee is
requested to provide input on how best to distribute the additional funding.Attachment 1 illustrates the budget
allocation as adopted in the Action Plan,additional money available,and the performance metrics of each sub-
recipient.
REVOLVING LOAN FUND (RLF)
Currently,the City receives Program Income (PI)in loan repayments from the Minor Home Rehab program
and from a former First-Time Homebuyers program.In 2016,the City received a large amount of PI,
approximately $179,000.The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)regulations require that
cities spend all PI’s before the entitlement can be accessed.In addition,HUD has strict timeliness entitlement
expenditure milestones that cities are required to meet in order to prevent possible future entitlement
reductions.Some of these large loan repayments,when deposited close to the timeliness deadlines,can put the
City at risk of not meeting the HUD performance regulations.
One measure that will protect the City from this risk is to implement a Revolving Loan Fund.RLFs are exempt
from the timeliness milestone.Staff strongly recommends creating a RLF this fiscal year,which would help
protect the City from future timeliness noncompliance.
In addition,the RLF will benefit and assist low income homeowners throughout the City.HUD defines the low
income category as 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI)or below.RLF funds can be used to replace
roofs,plumbing,electrical and other crucial home improvements.Examples of individuals who may qualify
include the elderly, single parent households, and teachers.

FY17-18 CDBG PROJECTS
At this stage staff is exploring potential Public Improvements Projects throughout the City that may be funded
by CDBG during FY17-18. Some of the projects identified, that are CDBG eligible, include:
·Parks Improvements (resurfacing, restroom upgrades, accessibility improvements)
·ADA Ramps at intersections in the Public Right of Way
·Caltrain plaza improvements
·Downtown streetscape improvements
The Subcommittee is not requested to allocate funding for the Public Improvements at this stage.A follow-up
Subcommittee meeting will be scheduled in the coming weeks to discuss Budget Allocations for FY17-18.
