Substantial Amendment to the 2008-09 Action Plan for CDBG-IR
Funds
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has notified the City of
Huntington Beach that it will receive $370,575 in federal Community Development Block Grant
Recovery (CDBG-R) Program funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009. This additional entitlement allocation constitutes a substantial amendment to the City's
current 2008-2009 Action Plan Program Year. The CDBG-R funds will be utilized for programs
or projects which meet the goals and objectives of the City's 2008-2009 Action Plan and the
legislative intent of President Obama's Economic Stimulus Package.
Background
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) appropriated$1 billion in
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to states and local governments to carry
out, on an expedited basis, eligible activities under the CDBG program. Funding available
under the Recovery Act has clear purposes to:
® Stimulate the economy through measures that modernize the Nations infrastructure;
® Improve energy efficiency;and
® Expand educational opportunities and access to health care.
HUD strongly urges grantees to use CDBG-R funds for hard development costs associated with
infrastructure activities that provide basic services to residents or activities that promote energy
efficiency and conservation through rehabilitation or retrofitting of existing buildings. While the
full range of CDBG activities is available to grantees, the Department strongly suggests that
grantees incorporate consideration of the public perception of the intent of the Recovery Act in
identifying and selecting projects for CDBG-R funding. Certain specified activities and/or
projects may not be funded with CDBG-R funds pursuant to the Recovery Act and these include
swimming pools, golf courses, zoos, aquariums, and casinos or other gambling establishments.
Other activities generally prohibited under regulations governing the regular CDBG program
are also prohibited under CDBG-R.
Goals and Objectives of the Consolidated Plan
In its 2008-2009 Action Plan the City of Huntington Beach identified the following as goals that
influence CDBG funding decisions:
• Increase community involvement, dialogue, and outreach by educating residents about
opportunities for involvement such as how to donate to projects, volunteer, access
information, and offer opinions through the website and other means.
Provide quality services with the highest professional standards to meet community
expectations and needs, assuring that the City is sufficiently staffed and equipped
overall.
® Improve the City's plan for funding and completing infrastructure needs and develop
strategies for resolving critical infrastructure problems to preserve the physical
foundation of the community and enable the community's value to grow.
® Improve the energy efficiency of City equipment,vehicles, and buildings.
Based upon the 40.3% exception criteria established by HUD, the City has designated eight
priority areas for CDBG activities: Bolsa-Chica Heil, Goldenwest, Washington, Oak View,
Newland,Garfield,Yorktown,and Adams.
Citizen Participations
The City of Huntington Beach has a Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) which serves
as an advisory board to City Council. The CPAB holds hearings on community needs and
reviews all eligible applications for CDBG funds. The board also meets with CDBG applicants,
and subsequently provides funding recommendations to City Council on the CDBG program.
CPAB members are recruited throughout the community with a special emphasis on attracting
low-moderate income residents to serve on the board. In order for the CPAB to be more
familiar with the CDBG program, every other year staff and CPAB tour the facilities and
locations where the CDBG activities are being conducted and proposed.
A Citizen Participation Plan for the CDBG and HOME programs was approved by City Council
of Huntington Beach in August 2005. CPAB conducts public hearings in the community, and
reviews and discusses issues brought forward by the community. Staff continues to participate
in local and regional forums and activities to encourage additional public participation in the
CDBG process. Upon request in advance, the City arranges for translation services in public
hearings for non-English speaking persons. Spanish translation services were provided at the
CPAB public hearing held in the Oakview community. The Huntington Beach City Council
Chambers and community meeting locations are ADA-compliant, accessible by persons with
physical disabilities. Upon request in advance,the City also makes reasonable accommodations
to persons with disabilities.
On May 21,2009,the CPAB reviewed the proposed uses of the CDBG-R funds. On June 1, 2009,
the City Council contacted a public hearing to receive input on this amendment regarding the
uses of the CDBG-R funds.
Activities to be Funded
M[urdy Community Center Roof Replacement: This is a shovel-ready project located in a
CDBG Target Area that primarily serves low income residents. CDBG-R funds will be used to
extensively repair the Community Center's roof,which will help energy conservation and lower
energy costs. The Murdy Community Center Roof Replacement project will maximize job
creation and economic benefit in the City, as well as address the goals and objectives of
Recovery Act,by:
1. Preserving and creating jobs and promoting economic recovery. This activity will promote
economic recovery by providing work for local construction trades and for building
materials manufacturers.
2. Assisting those most impacted by the recession. The Murdy Community Center is located in
central Huntington Beach in the Goldenwest Enhancement Area, an identified low
income area. This project will provide jobs for construction trades. According to the
California Employment Development Dept. News Release 09022, dated 4/17/2009, the
construction sector posted the largest percentage decline in jobs of all sectors, down by
18.4 percent (a decrease of 152,300 jobs).
3. Investing in the transportation, environmental protection, or other infrastructure that zvill
provide long-term economic benefits. This project protects the environment through the use
of materials that are more durable (reducing the amount of roofing materials in landfills)
and more energy efficient (reducing smog, pollutants and greenhouse gasses) than a
conventional roof.
4. Fostering energy independence. This project reduces the energy needed for cooling,thereby
reducing our dependence on the fossil fuels used for the generation of electricity.
This project is also expected to promote environmental sustainability through the following:
1. Energy Conservation. The replacement roof is specified to be a "cool roof' system,
which is a roof that is designed to reflect solar energy and to transmit infrared
energy in order to reduce building heat gain and the electricity required for HVAC
system demand. This project meets the requirements of the California Title 24
Building Energy Efficiency Standard.
2. Smart Grozvth. This project is centrally located and within walking/cycling
distance of the majority of the residents that it is intended to serve. It is served by
local mass transit routes. The project improves an existing facility without
disturbing existing open space.
3. Green Building Technologies. This activity promotes the use of energy efficient
roofing to reduce reliance on artificial cooling.
4. Reduces Pollution Emissions. This activity provides more efficient cooling of the
building and is expected to result in reduced electricity usage, which will in turn
reduce the pollution emissions created by electricity generation. A cool roof also
reduces the urban heat island effect and associated smog.
Budget: CDBG-R funds-$240,000 (No other funding sources will be used for this project).
Timeframe: The Murdy Community Center Roof Replacement project is shovel ready and will
be initiated no later than 120 calendar days after February 17,2009 (i.e.June 17,2009).

local flooding as the new curb and gutter infrastructure will enhance storm water runoff.
This project is also expected to promote environmental sustainability through the following:
1. Energy Conservation. The City will utilize locally produced recycled.materials for
the reconstruction project, where applicable. The use of locally produced recycled
materials will promote energy conservation by using less energy than would be
used to produce and transport virgin materials.

This project is also expected to promote environmental sustainability through the following:
1. Energy Conservation. Curb ramps provide .access between the sidewalk and
roadway for people using.strollers, handcarts, bicycles, and also for pedestrians
with mobility impairments who use wheelchairs, walkers,,crutches, or who have
trouble stepping up and down high curbs. Providing a safe transition from
sidewalk to street invites pedestrian traffic, thereby reducing automobile traffic
and conserving energy.
2. Smart Growth. This activity reconstructs existing sidewalk, curb and gutter
infrastructure, creating walkable neighborhoods and a more pedestrian-friendly
city.
3. Green Building Technologies. This :project will specify the use of locally produced
recycled material where applicable.
