Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Approve the draft Urban County Annual Action Plan Fiscal Year 2016-2017, including recommendations for projects and programs to be funded, for issuance for a 30-day period of public review.
b. Approve the amended Consolidated Plan, reflecting changes in Urban County jurisdictional partners, for issuance for a 30-day period of public review.
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has re-qualified Monterey's Urban County for entitlement purposes for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017 through FY 2018-19. Participants include past participating jurisdictions of unincorporated portions of Monterey County and Gonzales and new participating jurisdictions of Greenfield and Sand City. To receive its annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grant allocation, the Urban County must adopt an Annual Action Plan which sets forth a description of eligible projects and programs to be funded. It is to be submitted to HUD by May 15, 2016. Additionally, based upon changes in participating jurisdictions, HUD requires that the Consolidated Plan be amended to reflect the new configuration.
DISCUSSION:
Since the first award of an allocation from HUD in FY 2013-14, the Urban County has received $2,618,503 for the jurisdictions of Del Rey Oaks, Gonzales, and the unincorporated areas of the County of Monterey. For FY 2016-17, the HUD allocation is $1,156,760 which reflects the addition of the two jurisdictions and the loss of Del Rey Oaks which opted to not continue as a participating jurisdiction.
