ACTION FORM
PROCEEDING: Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Planning & Inspections DATE SUBMITTED: January 3, 2012
PREPARED BY: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP, Director of Planning & Inspections
SUBJECT: Change of Subgrant Procedures for CDBG
REFERENCE: CDBG Program Guidelines
RELATED PROJECT: N/A
REVIEWED BY: Scott D. Koenig, P.E., City Manager
EXHIBITS: Letter to Nadab Bynum from Ann Marie Townshend, December 9, 2011; Letter from Nadab

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A
FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget):
TIME TIMETABLE: Recommend that the proposed change be implemented with upcoming grant cycle.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends that the Committee forward a recommendation to City
Council in favor of the proposed change to the subgrant procedure as outlined below.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of Dover is an entitlement community under the federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. Each year, we receive an allocation of funds directly from HUD to support low and moderate
income areas. Each year, the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee evaluates applications
submitted by City departments, non-profits, and private property owners, and allocates available funds
according to funding priorities and the quality of the applications. Twenty percent of the grant allocation plus
program income can be utilized for grant administration. As the City’s grant allocation declines and City funds
are scarce, the City needs to look for efficiencies in program administration.
One area where we intend to reduce the administrative burden of the CDBG program is to solicit subgrantees
for multiple years. Under this proposal, subgrantees selected in the upcoming round of applications would be
eligible for funds, depending on availability, for the next three funding cycles. After this period of time, the
subgrantees would be selected to coincide with the length of the Consolidated Plan. This change to the program
was presented to HUD and accepted by them, as demonstrated in the attached letter. If the Committee and City
Council concur with this approach, an amendment to the Consolidated Plan will be developed with the
upcoming round of funding allocation, and the program guidelines will be revised and brought to the
Committee for review.

RE: City of Dover CDBG Program
Dear Mr. Bynum:
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about various options for how the City of Dover can
administer our CDBG Program in the future. As we have discussed, the City is evaluating operations city-
wide to identify changes we can make to gain efficiency in our operations while maintaining levels of
service. As our CDBG allocation continues to decline and the administrative costs of the program rise,
we are looking at how we can run this program more efficiently to reduce the staff time involved in
managing the program.
One area that we identified as consuming a disproportionate amount of staff time is the process of
subgranting funds. Each year the City solicits subgrant applications for CDBG funding. As funds become
increasingly scarce, the amount of time required to solicit and evaluate subgrant proposals, interview
applicants, rank proposals, and ultimately monitor the subgrants becomes disproportionate to the amount
of funds the City has to allocate. In recent years, we have funded some well-performing subgrantees who
provide necessary services to our low and moderate income population. For this reason, we would like to
consider options for maintaining a subgrant program while reducing the administrative workload
associated with this program.
With this in mind, I plan to make the following proposal to the Dover City Council for the subgranting of
funds to non-City entities for the remainder of the Consolidated Plan period (until 2014). Prior to formally
presenting this recommendation to City Council, I would like to ensure that there is concurrence from
HUD that this change is acceptable and receive guidance on what process to follow to implement the
proposed change. The proposal is as follows:
1. The City would solicit proposals for subgrantees to submit a grant application for a three year
period. A generalized budget would be required, but funding would be allocated each year based
on the City’s allocation and priorities. This would be incorporated as an amendment to the
Consolidated Plan.
2. City would continue to fund City-managed projects, including but not limited to down payment
assistance, housing rehabilitation, infrastructure, and accessibility improvements as needed.

Community Excellence Through Quality Service

3. Each year, projects would be ranked and funding would be allocated among City-managed
projects and the approved subgrant projects. This would follow the same process currently
followed, where the Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement Committee recommends the
funding to City Council. All required time frames for advertisement would continue to be
followed, as well as all other OMB and HUD requirements.
I would like to formally propose this change to City Council, through the Parks, Recreation and
Community Enhancement Committee at their meeting on January 9, 2011, so that these changes could be
implemented for the upcoming funding cycle when the Federal Fiscal Year 2012 funds are available.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please contact me either by phone at
(302) 736-7196 or e-mail at atownshend@dover.de.us. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

CITY OF DOVER
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
I. GENERAL
A. Scope and Applicability
These Program Guidelines describe the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program for the City of Dover. Funds for this program, when appropriated by the U. S.
Congress, are provided in a block grant to the city by the U. S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to Section 106 of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended by the Housing and Community Act of 1992, and
in accordance with HUD rules, regulations and program memoranda
B. Administration
The Community Development Manager administers the CDBG Program
for the city. The purpose for this grant is to provide affordable, decent,
safe, and sanitary housing to low and moderate income persons.
C. Program Design and National Objectives
The CDBG Program has been designed to:
1. to give maximum feasibility priority to activities which will benefit low and
moderate income families; and
2. to aid in the prevention of slums and/or blight; and
3. to meet other community development needs having a particular urgency
because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health
or welfare of the community and where other financial resources are not
available to meet such needs;
Each CDBG activity must be an eligible activity, and it must comply with one of
the above three national objectives. Subgrantees shall ensure that the following
records are maintained and kept up to date: 1.) records demonstrating that the
activity undertaken meets one of the national objectives: and 2.) a full description
of each activity carried out (or being carried out) in whole or in part with CDBG
funds including the nature and the purpose of the activity, its location and the
amount of CDBG funds budgeted, obligated and expended for the activity.
Paj 11
D. Low and Moderate–Income Definition
1. Low and moderate income persons are those persons whose incomes do not
exceed the income limits for lower income families pursuant to Section 8 of
the United States Housing Act of 1937 as amended and provided to the State
of Delaware by HUD in a table of income limits and set forth by dollar
amount and family size. (These income limits are periodically revised by
HUD and are made available by the City of Dover to all units of local
government and counties in Delaware eligible for this program. See
Attachment “A” to these Program Guideline for the most recent figures dated
3/20/07).
2. Low and moderate income households are all persons occupying the same
housing unit, regardless of their relationship to each other, whose combined
incomes do not exceed the income limits described in the paragraph above.
E. Documentation of National Objectives and Low/ Mod Income Benefit
1. Documentation of National Objectives
a. Eligible Activities
Housing rehabilitation and direct homeownership activities are direct benefit
activities which require subgrantees to document individual household
incomes at 100% low to moderate income.
Public facilities and improvements, demolition, public service and economic
development activities are considered activities that benefit an area or a limited
clientele and will require subgrantees to document that at least 51% of the area
or the limited clientele that will be served is low to moderate income.
Public Service activities cannot exceed 15% of the total grant allocation
including program income.
F. Program Outcome Performance Measurements
On June 10, 2005, HUD published in the Federal Register a “Notice of Draft Outcome
Performance Measurements System for Community Planning and Development
Formula Grant Programs.” This Notice, or a forthcoming “Final” Notice on
Performance Measurements is to be followed in establishing and reporting outcome
performance measures for each activity for future program years. Subgrantees are
required to provide proposed outcome /objective statements for each activity in their
CDBG applications, and actual outcome/objective statements with indicators in their
monthly and closeout reports.
2
Paj 12
G. Consolidated Plan
The City of Dover develops a Consolidated Plan which is updated every five years
through a public process that involves the residents of the community. The
Consolidated Plan is submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development
and guides the use of CDBG funds within the City. The current Consolidated Plan is
the 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan. In order to be included in the annual Community
Development Action Plan, a funding proposal must be consistent with the
Consolidated Plan. The annual Action Plan must be submitted to HUD by May 15th of
each calendar year.
II. General Information for Applicants
A. Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants for CDBG funds fall in the following categories:
1. City Departments and Programs – These include any departments of City
government. In order for a City project to be eligible, the service area for the
project must include at least 51% low to moderate income persons. The
exception to this is ADA improvements to public facilities.
2. Subgrantees – These include other public or non-profit entities. Actives
funded in these categories must also service at least 51% low to moderate
income persons to be eligible for funds.
3. Private Property Owners and For-Profit Corporations – In order for these
entities to be eligible, the activity must also service at least 51% low to
moderate income persons. An example of this activity would be the

IV. Application Review
A. City of Dover Staff
1. The Community Development Manager will review all applications for
completeness and determine whether the applications meet the
minimum threshold requirements for all applications.
2. If the assessment by the Community Development Manager indicates
that an application fails to meet any of the applicable threshold
requirements, and the applicant has not provided the requested
information to make the application complete, The Community
Development Manager will prepare a report on each such application
and submit it to the Director of Planning and Inspections. If the
Director of Planning and Inspections agrees with the assessment by the
Community Development Manager, the application will be considered
unresponsive. Such applications will not be forwarded to the review
panel referred to below, but will be returned to the applicant with a
reason for the rejection.
4
Paj 14
3. Staff Reports
The Community Development Manager shall provide the review panel with a
separate staff report on each application including projects managed by the
city that will at a minimum include the following:

the applications received and a descriptive summary of the review panel’s
recommended priorities for funding which will be available at the Public Hearing
that will be scheduled before the submission of the Action Plan to HUD.
C. City Council
City Council will make the final decisions on allocating CDBG funds, based upon
the review panel recommendations and any other additional relevant information
obtained subsequent to those recommendations. Such additional information will only
be considered if it reflects a substantive change in the application review criteria.
C. Waivers of Policy
The Director of Planning and Inspections may waive any requirement of these policies not
required by Federal/State law or Federal regulation, whenever it is determined that undue
hardship will result from applying the requirement or where application of the requirement
would adversely affect the purposes of the City of Dover CDBG Program. Waivers shall be
made in writing, citing the policy provision to be waived, the authority for the waiver, and
be supported by documentation of the pertinent facts. Where only a portion of the policy
provision is to be waived, the waiver must expressively limit itself to that portion.
