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 Bynum to Ann Marie Townshend, December 21, 2011; CDBG Program Guidelines 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.

City of Dover December 9, 2011 Nadab O. Bynum U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Community Planning and Development The Wanamaker Building 100 Penn Square East, 12th Floor Philadelphia. PA 19107 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. P. O. Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 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. Sincerely, Ann Marie Townshend, AICP Director, Planning & Community Development cc: Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager Scott D.

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.

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

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.
