The approved 2007-08 Action Plan must then be submitted to HUD no later than August 15, 2007. Simultaneously with the approval of the 2007/08 Action Plan, an amendment to the 2006/07 Action Plan is requested to include two new projects and the approval of the amended Citizen Participation Plan is requested. Funding Source: The 2007/08 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Grant entitlement funds as provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, unprogrammed CDBG funds from prior years and reprogramming a portion of the Revolving Loan Fund. Recommended Action: Motion to: 1. Approve the 2007/08 Action Plan and Amendments to the 2006/07 Action Plan (Attachment 1) for the CDBG Program and HOME program; authorize the application for federal assistance for $1,419,271 in CDBG and $772,388 in HOME for the 2007/08 grant year; and reprogram $731,202 in prior year CDBG funding and reprogram $267,000 from the Revolving Loan Fund to projects approved in the Action Plan. 2. Approve the amended Citizen Participation Plan (Attachment 1, Exhibit A). Alternative Action(s): Direct staff to revise the Action Plan and the Citizen Participation Plan. General Questions 1. Describe the geographic areas of the jurisdiction (including areas of low income families and/or racial/minority concentration) in which assistance will be directed during the next year. Where appropriate, the jurisdiction should estimate the percentage of funds the jurisdiction plans to dedicate to target areas. Huntington Beach is an urbanized coastal community located in northwestern Orange County, California. Much of the City's residentially designated land has already been developed. Future residential development rests primarily upon the recycling of existing parcels and infill development. Surrounding Huntington Beach are the cities of Seal Beach to the northwest, Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the east, Newport Beach to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. 2. Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) (91.215(a)(1)) during the next year and the rationale for assigning the priorities. The basis for allocating CDBG investments geographically is based upon the low income eligible areas as determined by the 2000 census. With these CDBG eligible areas identified, the goals and objectives of the City's Strategic Plan provide the direction for CDBG expenditures. The 2007/08 Action Plan provides for $831,000 (40.24%) allocated to capital projects in the low income areas. Adding other activities, over 53.75% of the funds are allocated to projects eligible upon the census data. All of the proposed projects benefit the low-income population based either on census data, client intake data, or based upon a presumed benefit population (such as the frail elderly or persons with disabilities). City Strategic Plan The City of Huntington Beach has developed a WUHTU46T©W E PP_4kGH 2-02-0 Strategic Plan to guide City development. The vision+s kmKeIkr Council's overall vision for the community is: � p" Huntington Beach: An engaged, » e EdCt sustainable, family y community friend/ that -f riy-/ri�ad/y� rSGE ,Vr6�Aih is safe, vibrant and attractive to tourists, "dve�. ��71UYtS�5irG°rfGi�fl//S+ businesses, and residents alike. Me& rnesss Goals and projects identified by the Council to (t� ,r ' lead the City toward this vision are divided into six f��- � �� � . categories: city services, economic development, engaging the community, financial, infrastructure, and land use development. The City's Strategic " Plan goals that influence CDBG funding decisions are: • 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. Third Program Year Action Plan (FY 2007/2008) 2 • 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. National Objectives and Performance Outcomes National objectives and performance outcomes established by HUD are the bases for assigning priorities to needs for which funding may be allocated. The national objectives are to develop viable urban communities by: • Providing decent housing; • Providing a suitable living environment; and • Expanding economic opportunities, principally for lower income persons. Performance outcomes are grouped into the following three categories: • Expanding availability and accessibility; • Enhancing affordability; and • Promoting sustainability. Every HUD-funded program or activity must meet at least one of the nine objective/outcome criteria as shown below. National Objective/Outcome Matrix Availability and Accessibility Affordability Sustainability 1 2 3 Decent Housing (DH) DH-1 DH-2 DH-3 Suitable Living Environment (SL) SL-1 SL-2 SL-3 Economic Opportunities (EO) EO-1 EO-2 EO-3 Geographic Distribution of Funds Public facilities and improvements funded by the CDBG program are focused in eight priority areas. These Enhancement Areas (shown on the map on the following page) were established based on the 2000 Census income data. To determine project eligibility, the HUD standard is 51 percent low-moderate income for improvements determined by census data. Due to the higher incomes in the area, the City of Huntington Beach has the exception criteria of 40.3 percent low-moderate income for projects that would serve that particular area. To assist the City in evaluating future projects, this map was revised in 2006 to only show the census block groups with 40.3 percent or more of the population with low-moderate income for the established Enhancement Areas. Keeping the national objectives of the CDBG program in mind, project eligibility review is based upon the type of activity and the clientele served. A project is evaluated on either the 51 percent low-moderate income population for facilities and services located within the broader community or upon the exception criteria for projects limited in scope to the Enhancement Areas.

Describe actions that will take place during the next year to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. The most significant obstacle to meeting underserved housing needs is the lack of sufficient funds and lack of available vacant land. As a primarily built out community, the City has relatively few vacant lots to facilitate large-scale residential development. Infill development and recycling of existing lots require the consolidation of smaller lots that can be challenging. As a desirable community in which to live, land cost and housing prices have risen significantly. Few affordable housing developers are able to compete with for-profit developers in the market for the limited properties available. 4. Identify the federal, state, and local resources expected to be made available to address the needs identified in the plan. Federal resources should include Section 8 funds made available to the jurisdiction, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and competitive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds expected to be available to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the strategic plan. Federal resources available to address the needs of the community include HUD entitlement grants: CDBG funds in the amount of $1,419,217 and HOME funds in the amount of $772,388 for FY 2007/08. In addition, the City has $378,702 in unspent CDBG funds from prior years and $267,000 of its Revolving Loan Fund that it is reprogramming to eligible projects for the 2007/08 Action Plan. The Public Improvement projects were considered for the reprogramming funds. As the City is within the Orange County Housing Authority's jurisdiction, over 800 Huntington Beach residents are provided Section 8 housing vouchers. Third Program Year Action Plan (FY 2007/2008) 6 A local resource for housing and community development is the tax increment generated in the Redevelopment Project Areas. At least 20 percent of the annual tax increment is required to be set aside to provide affordable housing opportunities to low and moderate income households. The remaining tax increment is used to make public improvements and offer economic opportunities in the redevelopment project areas as a means of eliminating physical and economic blight. The Agency is also required to pay for its annual debt obligations including the pass-through payments to the other taxing agencies in the area. Managing the Process 1. Identify the lead agency, entity, and agencies responsible for administering programs covered by the Consolidated Plan. The Economic Development Department of the City of Huntington Beach is the lead agency responsible for overseeing the development of the Consolidated Plan and this Action Plan. Staff members from Planning, Community Services, Administration, Police, Public Works and Library Services participate in the development process of the plan. 2. Identify the significant aspects of the process by which the plan was developed, and the agencies, groups, organizations, and others who participated in the process. The process to develop the Consolidated Plan includes public hearings, community outreach to residents and non-profit agencies, and involvement by other city departments. Starting in November 2006, the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB), a 15-member advisory board appointed by City Council for the CDBG program, became familiar with the City's Strategic Plan and reviewed the Consolidated Plan needs and priorities. The CPAB held two public hearings on community needs. A public notice announced the application process for the City's CDBG program. After review of the proposals, applicants of the qualified proposals were invited to give presentations at a CPAB meeting. This year, the CPAB and staff toured the facilities and locations of the proposed activities. The CPAB recommendations are first presented to City Council in a joint study session. After the CPAB finalizes its recommendations, staff prepares the final draft of the Action Plan for public review and City Council approval. The City Council holds a public hearing before approving the Action Plan. 3. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to enhance coordination between public and private housing, health, and social service agencies. During FY 2007/08, annual monitoring and training of subrecipients will continue to enhance coordination between public and private housing, health, and social service agencies. Subrecipient training will be scheduled during the first quarter of the fiscal year. As follow-up to the quarterly reporting, monitoring of the subrecipients will take place in the third and fourth quarters of FY 2007/08. The City's monitoring handbook and reporting are in compliance with Federal regulations. Staff also regularly attends the Oakview Task Force meeting at which several of the social service providers and city services are coordinated within this Enhancement Area. On a regional level, the City participates in the Orange County Cities Advisory Committee, responsible for the regional Continuum of Care strategy. Third Program Year Action Plan (FY 2007/2008) 7 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: August 6, 2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: ED-07-23 Analysis: The 2007/08 Action Plan is the third year of implementing the five year Consolidated Plan required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the receipt of two entitlement grants: Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Grant. The 2007/08 grants are: $1,419,271 in CDBG and $772,388 in HOME as shown in the application for federal assistance, Forms SF-424 (Attachment 1, Exhibit B). CDBG funded projects must meet one of the program's three national objectives with 70% of the funds under the national objective to serve the low- and moderate-income population and must meet the activity eligibility requirements. The three national objectives are: 1) to benefit the low- and moderate-income persons; 2) aide in the prevention of elimination of slums or blight, and 3) meet an urgent need. Activities can include public improvements, public services, special code enforcement in certain designated areas, economic development activities, and housing rehabilitation programs among others. The HOME entitlement may only fund the creation and/or preservation of low-moderate income housing. Both grants provide funds to administer each program. The Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB), a fifteen member advisory board to provide recommendations to City Council on the CDBG program, held two public hearings on community needs, reviewed project proposals and heard the applicants' presentations during its meetings. The CPAB also toured the project proposal sites on March 22, 2007. A joint City Council--CPAB study session was held June 4, 2007. CPAB's recommendations are included in the 2007/08 Action Plan with Amendments to the 2006/07 Action Plan (exclusive of the reprogramming funds from the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF)). The opportunity to reprogram $267,000 in RLF arose after CPAB's deliberations were concluded. With the concurrence of the City's HUD representative and the assurance that reducing the RLF by this amount would not adversely impact the Housing Rehabilitation Program, two additional projects (Magnolia Fire Station ADA Improvements and Oakview Gymnasium Renovation) were added to the Action Plan prior to the commencement of the 30-day public comment period. Altogether $998,202 is being reprogrammed from a combination of prior year CDBG and RLF. The Economic Development Committee provides recommendations to City Council on the HOME program as affordable housing projects are considered during the year. A CPAB subcommittee worked with staff to update the Citizen Participation Plan (CCP) (Attachment 1, Exhibit A). The CPAB unanimously approved the revised CCP and is recommending approval by City Council. The most important modification is the definition of "significant change" from the benchmark amount of $50,000 to $100,000 that would require City Council Action. Prior to City Council approving the Action Plan, a 30-day public comment period and a public hearing is required. The Huntington Beach Independent published the public notice on July 5 and 19, 2007. The public comment period commenced on July 6 and ends on August 6, 2007. Written comments received during the public comment period and comments during the public hearing may be considered by City Council will be attached to the Action Plan and submitted to HUD. -2- 7/12/2007 10:04 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: August 6, 2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: ED-07-23 It is recommended that City Council approve the 2007/08 Action Plan with Amendments to the 2006/07 Action Plan (Attachment 1) as summarized below. 2007-08 Reprogram Total CDBG CDBG Allocation Amount: $1,419,271 $998,202 $2,417,473 Administration (20% Cap): CDBG Administration $242,394 $242,394 Fair Housing Council of Orange County $41,460 $41,460 Total Admin Cap(20%) $283,854 $283,854 Section 108 Loan Payment $ 257,702 $ 257,702 Public Services (15% Cap): Adult Day Services of O.

This document also includes amendments to the Second Year Action Plan. Program Narratives Executive Summary The goal of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in requiring state and local agencies to prepare a Consolidated Plan is to assist communities in developing a collaborative process whereby the community establishes a unified vision for community development actions. The 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan was approved by City Council of Huntington Beach in 2005, and this Annual Action Plan for FY 2007/08 outlines the intended use of HUD funds towards meeting the defined needs in the five- year Consolidated Plan. The 2007/08 Action Plan provides a basis for assessing performance, and serves as an application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME). The total amount of CDBG funds allocated through this Plan is $2,064,973 that is a combination of the 2007/08 grant, reprogramming $378,702 of prior year's unspent CDBG funds, and reprogramming $267,000 of the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). The HOME allocation is $772,388. This document also amends the Second Year Action Plan by approving three new projects by reprogramming $352,500 of prior year's unspent CDBG funds. The City of Huntington Beach is eligible to also receive the American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI). For FY 2007/08, the City could receive $14,083 in ADDI funds. Given the market conditions in Huntington Beach, the amount of downpayment needed to assist a low and moderate income household in achieving homeownership far exceeds the amount to be allocated to the City. Furthermore, the administrative and record-keeping requirements of the ADDI program are extensive. For these reasons, the City of Huntington Beach has decided to opt out of the ADDI program. In this regard, the ADDI funds from prior HUD allocations shall be de- obligated. Third Program Year Action Plan (FY 2007/2008) 1 Citizen Participation 1. Provide a summary of the citizen participation process. The Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) is an advisory board to City Council, and holds hearings on community needs and reviews all eligible applications for CDBG funds. The board 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 Citizen Participation x the CDBG activities are being AdVISO Board conducted and proposed. r . tours the proposed _f M The Citizen Participation Plan 2007-08 F �! for the CDBG and HOME programs was approved by City CDBG projects.

Provide a summary of citizen comments or views on the plan. CPAB conducts public hearings in the community, and reviews and discusses issues brought forward by the community. In January and February of 2007, two public hearings on community needs were held in two distinct areas of the City. The public comments received at the hearings primarily supported continuing funding for the current public service subgrantees that serve the needs of the low-income and special need populations. Third Program Year Action Plan (FY 2007/2008) 8 3. Provide a summary of efforts made to broaden public participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan, including outreach to minorities and non- English speaking persons, as well as persons with disabilities. 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. 4. Provide a written explanation of comments not accepted and the reasons why these comments were not accepted. *Please note that Citizen Comments and Responses may be included as additional files within the CPMP Tool. City staff, CPAB, and City Council reviewed and considered all comments received. A summary of public comments received is provided in Appendix E. Institutional Structure 1. Describe actions that will take place during the next year to develop institutional structure. The Consolidated Plan is implemented by various City Departments, as described below: 1. Economic Development Department: The Economic Development Department is the lead agency responsible for the implementation of the Consolidated Plan. The Department oversees the citizen participation process, grant administration, reporting, and program compliance monitoring. A staff liaison is assigned to the Citizen Participation Advisory Board to assist in the public participation and project review process. The Economic Development Committee, a sub-committee of City Council, reviews staff's recommendations regarding the use of HOME and Housing-Set-Aside funds before the housing projects are considered by City Council. Departmental staff serves as the liaison to this committee. The department is also responsible for ongoing compliance monitoring for the affordable housing projects. The Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program is administered by the department and is currently working with a qualified consultant to manage the loan program.

Describe actions that will take place during the next year to monitor its housing and community development projects and ensure long-term compliance with program requirements and comprehensive planning requirements. Evaluation of housing and public service delivery systems is the most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. The City's on-site monitoring program has been designed to: • Provide the City with information and to verify the data provided by the subrecipients in the quarterly performance reports submitted to the City; • Ensure that the subrecipients are carrying out their individual activities as described in their contracts and applications for CDBG assistance; and • Ensure that appropriate accounting and record keeping methods are being used by the subrecipients as related to the use of CDBG funds. During the first quarter of the grant year, subrecipient training is provided by the CDBG Coordinator. The training provides an overview of the CDBG program, review the content of subrecipient agreements, and review regulations related to the CDBG program, including reporting and fiscal management. The City conducts formal on-site visits with each subrecipient annually. Staff utilizes a standardized monitoring checklist during each on-site visit, which identifies specific items to be reviewed during the visit. Subrecipients receive prior notification of monitoring appointments, and staff meets with appropriate personnel to ensure required documents are available and reviewed. Follow up contact is made with each subrecipient to advise them of any adjustments which need to be made, and City staff then verifies revisions have been completed so that the activity may continue. Lead-based Paint 1. Describe the actions that will take place during the next year to evaluate and reduce the number of housing units containing lead-based paint hazards in order to increase the inventory of lead-safe housing available to extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families, and how the plan for the reduction of lead-based hazards is related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards. CDBG and HOME programs are required to comply with HUD's final regulation of September 15, 1999, imposing new requirements on certain housing units receiving CDBG and HOME assistance (24 CFR Part 35). Among other requirements, the new lead safety regulation requires CDBG or HOME grantees providing funds for rehabilitation, acquisition, and tenant-based rental assistance to perform clearance testing or clearance examination after certain lead hazard control activities. The City is currently testing and reporting in accordance with HUD's most recent standards. Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program: To meet the federal requirements, Huntington Beach provides lead-based paint information with each Rehabilitation Loan Third Program Year Action Plan (FY 2007/2008) 11 application packet. When it is discovered that lead-based paint is present, the owner of the property contracts for the lead-based paint removal. Cost of lead-based paint removal is an eligible activity under the Rehabilitation Loan Program. Environmental Review: The Planning Department is responsible for the environmental review of proposed projects. During this phase, if lead-based paint is discovered through the environmental review, then the developer would be responsible for the removal of lead-based paint. Specific Housing Objectives 1.

The Consolidated Plan is a five-year planning document that incorporates the submissions (request for funding)to HUD for both programs. The process of selecting projects for the CP requires extensive citizen participation. Each year the City updates the CP by approving the annual"Action Plans." In 1996, City Council adopted its first Citizen Participation Plan(CPP)for the Consolidated Plan 2000-2005, delineating the citizen participation roles for both Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)and HOME Investment Partnership programs. The Citizen Participation Advisory Board(CPAB) is a City Council- appointed advisory body whose primary role is to provide citizen participation for the CDBG Program under the terms of the Consolidated Plan, in addition to reviewing the City's Fair Housing Plan. Requirements of the Citizen Participation Plan The Citizen Participation Plan(CPP)must address each of the following elements: Participation The plan must provide for and encourage citizen participation, emphasizing the involvement of low-, very low-, and extremely low-income residents where housing and community development funds may be spent. The City is expected, in all stages of the process,to take whatever actions are appropriate to encourage the participation of all its residents, including minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with mobility,visual or hearing impairments in all stages of the process. Access to Meetings The City must provide adequate, timely notification so citizens can attend local meetings and public forums. Access to Information Citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties, including those most affected,must have the opportunity to receive information, review and submit comments on any proposed submission concerning the proposed activities, including the estimated amount proposed to benefit low-,very low-,and extremely low-income residents. These groups must also have access to the City's plans to minimize displacement and assist those who may be displaced as a result of these activities. Citizens and citizen groups must also have access to records for at least four years. Technical Assistance Technical assistance must be provided to low-, very low-and extremely low- income groups that request assistance in developing proposals under the consolidated submission process. Public Hearings The City must provide at least two public hearings per year to obtain citizens' views and to respond to proposals and questions that are conducted at different stages of the program year. Together,the hearings must address housing and community development needs, development of proposed activities, and review of program performance. At least one of these hearings must be held before the proposed Consolidated Plan/Action Plan is published for comment. The meetings are to be held to: obtain views of citizens, public agencies and other interested parties; respond to proposals and comments at all stages of the consolidated submission process by: 1. Identifying housing and community development needs; 2. Reviewing proposed uses of funds; and 3. Reviewing program performance. Bilingual Opportunities Wherever a significant number of low and moderate income persons or residents of blighted neighborhoods speak and read a primary language other than English, staff will provide for all notices of public hearings and summaries of basic program information to be provided in such language. A bilingual Spanish speaking staff member, if available,will translate at all public hearings. Publishing the Plan The City must publish its proposed consolidated submission so that affected citizens have sufficient opportunity to review it and provide comments. The requirement for publishing may be met by publishing a summary of the proposed consolidated plan available at such places as libraries, government offices, and public places. The summary must describe the contents and purpose of the consolidated plan,and must include a list of the locations where copies of the entire plan may be examined. Comments Prior to the submission of the consolidated plan to HUD,the citizen participation plan must provide citizens a period of not less than 30 days to submit comments to staff. The City must consider the views of citizens, public agencies and other interested parties in preparing its final consolidated submission and attach a summary of such comments to the final document. The summary of citizen comments must include a written 2 explanation of comments not accepted and the reasons why these comments were not accepted. Timely Response The City must provide timely,written answers to written complaints and grievances,within 15 days,where practical. Amendments Prior to the submission of the Consolidated Plan to HUD or during the program year if any substantial change in the use of the funds is proposed,the citizens will be given reasonable notice of and the opportunity to comment on,the proposed amendment. The Planning Process for the Action Plan Annually,the Action Plan includes review of the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, review of past performance, and an evaluation of any new needs identified during the past year. Importantly, staff reviews the priorities identified in the plan with City Council and the Citizen Participation Advisory Board. In addition, staff provides information from other planning documents, such as the City's Housing Element and the Redevelopment Agency's Housing Compliance Plan. The following text will outline the role of City Council, CPAB, other City advisory bodies, staff,the citizens at large, and neighboring jurisdictions. City Council The City of Huntington Beach has a seven member Council serving as its legislative body. Two City Council Members are appointed to serve as liaisons to each advisory body. As such,two City Council Members will provide a key communication link to staff and the CPAB, communicating Council priorities and offering guidance as needed. Early during the application period, City Council will be advised of the eligible public service programs operated by the City and of eligible public services in general. City Council will provide some policy direction to the CPAB regarding an approximate level of funding for these programs. Later after the CDBG grant amount is known, City Council will revisit these initial policies and determine if an adjustment is necessary. The assigned City Council Liaisons will work with the CPAB and its Executive Board to refine the recommendations prior to being sent to the whole City Council. After the CPAB and staff have provided their final recommendations and staff has drafted the Action Plan, City Council will hold a public hearing on the Action Plan and will adopt final funding recommendations, after which the document is sent to HUD. The Economic Development Committee, a three member City Council subcommittee,provides policy guidance to staff and closely advises staff on the selection of HOME projects. 3 Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) The Citizen Participation Advisory Board(CPAB)was established in October 1996 and is comprised of up to fifteen members appointed to four-year terms by the City Council. The CPAB strives to represent the diverse views on the socioeconomic issues related to low/moderate income individuals. To that end, low-income residents and members of minority groups are encouraged to apply to the City for appointment to the CPAB when vacancies arise, so that members of minority groups can be substantially represented. The purpose of the Citizen Participation Advisory Board(CPAB) is to provide citizen participation and coordination in the City's planning processes for the CDBG Program. Along with staff,the Board shall assess the needs of the community particularly that of low and moderate income households, evaluate and prioritize projects pertaining to the required plans and provide recommendations to City Council on such plans and projects. The Board shall hold regular monthly meetings during the CDBG application and deliberation period and establish its meeting times and locations by a minute action. All meetings are open to the public and special meetings may be called in conformance with the Ralph M. Brown Act. The Board will hold public hearings to obtain citizen input on community needs,plans or proposals. The CPAB is encouraged to hold public meetings in areas where there is a significant concentration of low to moderate-income persons. Citizens at Large As part of an ongoing effort to evaluate projects and programs proposed during the planning process, citizens are encouraged to attend meetings and communicate with City Council, CPAB and staff regarding the needs of the community. Citizens can send written correspondence to the staff liaison,who coordinates the responses. Every effort will be made to respond in writing to those individuals who submit proposals or written comments within fifteen working days where practical. The Role of Staff Staff will provide technical information to community groups and plan several community-based meetings throughout the year. At these meetings, important elements of the CDBG and HOME programs will be reported, such as: ■ Activities eligible under HUD programs. ■ The priorities of the Consolidated Plan. ■ The level of funding available for CDBG and HOME activities. Staff will inform the citizens of the planning efforts of the City Council and CPAB. Staff will publish legal notices of all public hearings in a local newspaper of general circulation. News releases will promote the development of the Action Plan and invite citizens to attend meetings and/or contact staff for more information. 4 Staff will utilize an electronic mail list and use the City's website to keep the community informed about the consolidated planning process. The list will include those persons and agencies that are interested in receiving meeting notices and program announcements that include the grant application process. If a person/agency does not have access to electronic e-mail, staff will mail such notices through the U.S. Postal Service. All lists shall be purged on a regular basis if mail is returned. Staff is encouraged to communicate with various neighborhood groups and other advisory bodies throughout the year. The coordinator of the CDBG and HOME programs will provide information about project eligibility and offer technical assistance to those seeking funding for projects. The staff liaison from the Department of Economic Development is assigned to work with the CPAB to: ■ Be informed regarding HUD's changes in regulations, policies, and program opportunities; ■ Review project proposals and prioritize projects in response to identified needs in the community; ■ Communicate the Board's recommendations to City Council; ■ Review and comment on the City's Fair Housing Plan; ■ Establish meeting times, locations; ■ Meet the public notice requirements according to the Brown Act; ■ Monitor attendance and communicate to City Council when vacancies need to be filled according to the Maddy Act; ■ Maintain the Board's meeting notes. Technical Assistance The City's Economic Development Department will provide the necessary technical assistance at all public hearings and CPAB meetings and to the general public as needed. Staff will assist any resident or citizen group, in an effort to help citizens to: ■ Understand program requirements, ■ Identify the severity of community problems; ■ Identify activity priorities; and ■ Communicate citizens' comments and recommendations to the CPAB and/or City Council in a timely manner. The following is also available: ■ HUD regulations and rules will be available in the Economic Development Department for review by interested citizens. ■ Training sessions regarding the CDBG program will be provided especially to CPAB members, and various City committees and commission members, City staff and all interested citizens. HOME training will be scheduled as requested. 5 ■ Applicants for funding may receive additional technical assistance in completing the application. With sufficient notice, accommodations to provide assistance in filling out applications for funding will be arranged for persons with disabilities or language barriers. All neighborhood, City Council and community wide Citizen Participation meetings will be attended by Economic Development staff. Public Hearings The City will hold a minimum of two public hearings,the first required hearing will be held by the CPAB thirty to sixty days prior to the beginning of planning for the next year's program activities. The purpose of this early hearing is to assess the needs of the community before making any decisions regarding which projects will be funded. An intermediate hearing may be held after the applications for funding are received for the purpose of receiving additional citizen input and prioritizing proposed activities. The CPAB will be the hearing body for this purpose. Following the completion of its public hearing,the CPAB will prioritize the eligible programs and projects. Staff will summarize the CPAB recommendations and draft the Action Plan and prepare the Request for Council Action and publish the public notice for the City Council public hearing. The draft plan will be available for public review for 30 days prior to submission to HUD. City Council will hold the last required public hearing, after which City Council will approve the Action Plan or make revisions as needed. Upon approval, staff will finalize the Action Plan and transmit the document to HUD. Citizens will be encouraged to submit their ideas and concerns involving any proposals being considered during the planning and development stages at any time, by sending written comments or proposals to: Consolidated Plan Economic Development Department 2000 Main Street,Fifth Floor Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Application for Funding - Submittal Process to HUD Huntington Beach administers the HOME and the CDBG applications for funding in two different ways. The HOME program targets its funds for the acquisition and preservation of affordable housing. Staff will accept proposals from Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO's)throughout the year and analyze the projects on a case-by-case basis. If the project has merit, staff will review the project with the Economic Development Committee. After receiving a positive recommendation,the project will be sent to City Council for consideration. The Community Development Block Grant program relies on the citizen participation of the CPAB for initial project review, deliberation and recommendations for funding before sending those recommendations to Council. 6 The entire submittal process of the Action Plan to HUD begins with the CDBG application process that later includes the HOME program as recommended by the EDC, is as follows: 1. Staff establishes the deadline for CDBG applications to be received. (The necessary timeframe for conducting the required public hearings and the preparation of documents is the primary consideration when selecting the deadline). The deadline announcement and the CDBG application forms shall be made available on the City's website or may be e-mailed upon request, or picked-up in the Department of Economic Development. 2. A public notice is prepared advertising that the CPAB will hold at least one public hearing to ascertain community needs. 3. A public notice is prepared advertising that applications are available. (One public notice can cover items#1 ) 4: Staff sends out a notice of the CDBG application process to those on the electronic mailing list that includes City departments and outside agencies. 5. Staff is available to conduct informational presentations to community groups/neighborhoods and provide technical assistance to applicants as needed. 6. CDBG proposals are submitted to the Department of Economic Development (any proposed housing project will be reviewed for compliance with HUD regulations and with the City's Consolidated Plan). Potential HOME projects are identified and included in the draft Action Plan. 7. Staff will review projects for compliance with HUD regulations and summarize if the proposal addresses a need identified in the Consolidated Plan. 8. Copies of the application,the Consolidated Plan,the Action Plans, and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports,will be available on the City's website and at the Economic Development Department. 9. The CPAB will prioritize projects for City Council's consideration. 10. Before the Action Plan is submitted to HUD,the City Council will hold a final public hearing to receive citizen comments, concerns, and recommendations. 11. After the Action Plan is approved by City Council, staff submits the plan to HUD, with all of the required certifications. 12. If required by certain projects, staff publishes a legal notice regarding the required Request for the Release of Funds and the environmental status of the proposed projects that were considered"not exempt". After a 30-day comment period, if no objections are received,HUD approves the release of funds. 13. HUD sends the Funding Agreement to the City Administrator for signature. The agreement is returned to HUD. 14. Projects may be implemented. 7 HUD Acceptance of the Consolidated Plan HUD regulations provide that the HUD area office will consider objections to the Consolidated Plan if the following conditions are present: 1. The description of needs and objectives are plainly inconsistent with available facts and data. 2. The activities to be undertaken are plainly inappropriate to meeting needs and objectives. 3. The application does not comply with the CDBG program requirements or the HOME requirements. 4. A proposed activity is found to be ineligible. Objections received in writing by either the City or HUD on any activity regarding the Consolidated Plan, must be received within thirty(30)days after the Action Plan and the City's application for funds is submitted to HUD. The City of Huntington Beach encourages its citizens to provide comments or objections during the review period. Economic Development staff will make every reasonable effort to provide written responses to citizen complaints within fifteen(15)working days. Program Implementation The Department of Economic Development is the lead department for project implementation. Staff members work with various project managers from other city departments and contract administrators of subgrantee agencies to implement their projects. Departments shall enter into a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)with the Department of Economic Development prior to implementing projects; likewise, subgrantees shall enter into a Subgrantee Agreement with the City prior to implementing their projects. Approved projects shall be entered into the Integrated Disbursement and Information System(IDIS)as required by HUD. Economic Development staff serves as liaison with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community and Planning Division located in Los Angeles. Monitoring and Evaluation Economic Development staff monitors the activities for continued compliance including: the housing programs using CDBG and HOME funds, capital improvement projects, and public service programs whether performed by city staff or non-profit agencies as subgrantees. Staff will apprise the CPAB about the project implementation at their scheduled meetings. Furthermore,the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER),will provide HUD and the public an opportunity to evaluate the performance of the plan. 8 Annual Performance Reports Through the Consolidated Plan's Annual Evaluation and Performance Report (CAPER),the public is provided with an opportunity to provide comment for a period of not less than fifteen days prior to its submittal to HUD. A public notice will be published in a local newspaper of general circulation notifying that the CAPER is available for public review. The report will be available at the Department of Economic Development and on the City's website. Comments received at public hearings and in writing will be considered in compiling the report and will be attached to the document. Amendments Amendments to the Consolidated Plan can occur anytime though out the year and must follow the requirements of this CPP. New activities or an increased level of funding for an existing project can only occur through reprogramming funds as all funds are"programmed" each year. Reprogramming funds alters the funding priority for the Consolidated Plan,thus causing an amendment. Reprogramming can occur in two ways: 1)adding additional funds to an existing project, or 2)adopting a new project. The City's Citizen Participation Plan outlines the City's process for reprogramming funds, and defines what triggers a public hearing due to a"significant"change in the plan. For the purpose of triggering the need for a public hearing the City will adopt the following definition as a"significant"change: A "significant"change is as any amount over$100,000 to be added to a single project or any new project not previously described in the City's Action Plan. Reprogramming Funds Through this Citizen Participation Plan,the City shall adopt the following policies for the reprogramming of funds: ■ Existing projects needing more than $100,000 in additional funding shall require a recommendation from the CPAB and City Council Action, but not a public hearing. ■ Reprogramming funds to a new project, not previously described in an Action Plan,will be a"significant"change,triggering the public hearing requirement, including review by the CPAB. ■ Funds remaining after the completion of a project shall be made available for reprogramming. ■ City projects such as housing programs, public facilities,public improvements, and public services shall receive the highest priority for consideration of reprogramming funds. a Existing projects needing less than $100,000 in additional funding shall receive the approval of the Director of Economic Development and/or City Administrator and does not require City Council Action. 9 Coordination with City Boards and Commissions Any communication or activity that will affect areas of concern of various City advisory bodies will be submitted for approval or action to the appropriate commission or board by the Economic Development staff, or by implementing department's staff members. Among these bodies are: ■ Redevelopment Agency/City Council ■ Economic Development Committee(A subcommittee of City Council) ■ Citizen Participation Advisory Board(CPAB) ■ Planning Commission ■ Community Services Commission ■ Public Works Commission ■ Human Relations Task Force Code of Ethics/Conflict of Interest It shall be forbidden for any member of boards, commissions, and committees having a material interest in the outcome of decisions to participate in the review of, discussion regarding or voting upon any application on or in any way attempt to influence other members of the respective body. According to direction from the Los Angeles area office of HUD, any CPAB member with such a conflict must resign from either the board or from the position from which the conflict arises. City staff will review applications for new members and attempt to identify potential conflicts prior to appointment. 10 B Standard Forms 424 APPLICATION FOR OMB Approval No.0348-0043 FEDERAL ASSISTANCE 2.DATE SUBMITTED Applicant Identifier August 7, 2007 B-07-MC-06-0506 1.TYPE OF SUBMISSION: 3.DATE RECEIVED BY STATE State Application Identifier A plication Pre application Construction ❑Construction 4.DATE RECEIVED BY FEDERAL AGENCY Federal Identifier m Non-Construction m Non-Construction 5.APPLICANT INFORMATION Legal Name: Organizational Unit: City of Huntington Beach Municipal Government Address(give city,county,State,and zip code): Name and telephone number of person to be contacted on matters involvin 2000 Main Street this application(give area code) Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Carol A.

In addition $731,202 in unprogrammed CDBG funds from prior years and$267,000 of the Revolving Loan Fund are being reprogrammed to projects. An amendment to the 2006/07 Action Plan will use $352,500 of the reprogramming funds for new projects that are included in the table below. The City followed its Citizen Participation Plan. The Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB)held two public hearings on community needs and held subsequent monthly public meetings. The Consolidated Plan and Action Plans set the local policies and priorities for the development of a viable urban community by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally for low-and moderate-income persons. The City intends to extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit organizations in order to provide for: the production and operation of affordable housing; a suitable living environment improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; assistance to homeless persons and persons at risk of becoming homeless to obtain appropriate housing, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability; and expand economic opportunities including job creation and retention. HOME Investment Partnership In an effort to expand and preserve its existing affordable housing stock, Huntington Beach has worked with Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to acquire multifamily rental properties. These buildings are rehabilitated and then are made available to persons below 60% of Orange County median income for a minimum of 30 years. The CHDO must enter into an agreement with the City that outlines all of the affordability requirements, property maintenance standards, and long-term monitoring requirements that are required by HOME regulations.
