SUBJECT: Approval of Fiscal Year 2002 One -Year Action Plan Submission
Community Planning and Development (CDBG)
B- 02 -MC -48 -0514
This serves as official notification of approval of your Action Plan (AP) for Fiscal Year 2002.
The grant for the program cited below is approved for the following amount:
PROGRAM
CDBG
AMOUNT
$ 434,000
The Consolidated Plan's One Year Action Plan (AP) begins on October 1, 2002 and
represents the fifth and final year in a five -year Consolidated Plan and Strategy, which covers
program years 1998 through 2002. We appreciate the hard work of the City's Community
Development staff in producing this planning document for the City's future use of HUD program
funds. The two basic regulatory requirements for approval of the plan have been met. The Plan
is substantially complete in addressing all regulatory requirements and is consistent with the
purposes of the National Affordable Housing Act. Our conclusions for approval and the comments
cited in this review will be part of the national database within HUD's Grant Management System
(GMS).
The Action Plan overall has been formatted to present a concise but comprehensive
description on the use of the new program year funding. Narrative sections and charts have been
added to show other resources that will be utilized to meet the needs of the City's low and
moderate - income population groups. The citizen participation process, recommendations and
responses to comments were reported. The AP also presented a map showing citizens the
targeting of program funds to predominately low and moderate - income areas. We recommend
that future Action Plans present a map(s) showing the geographical impact and known location of
proposed projects.
In compliance with 24CFR 91.220 requirements, the Action Plan showed the priority
designations, quantitative goals and expected completions dates for each proposed activity. This
will establish the basis for performance evaluation when the City submits its end of the year
CAPER (Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report). It can be noted that
approximately 63 percent of new program funding was allocated to the City's high priorities
designated in the City's 5 -Year Strategy. Of the approximate 9 high priorities identified in your
Consolidated Plan Strategy, the proposed activities represents progress in seven high priority
categories (78 percent). Although the City is commended for undertaking activities consistent with
its highest priorities, the submission next year of a new 5 -Year Strategy should give careful
consideration to development of the Priority Needs Table in order to avoid inconsistencies and the
need for processing of substantial amendments. For example, the City has expended considerable
CDBG dollars for Park Improvements, including the 2002 program year, but this activity is not a
high priority and in fact has not been designated any priority in the current 5 -Year Strategy. The
high priority designations tell citizens the most about the before and after vision of the City in the
use of HUD Community and Planning Development resources. Since there is always a shortage of
funding to close the gap in unmet needs identified in your 5 -Year Strategy it is expected that
nearly all funding will be applied to high priority designated activities. An activity that you expect
to fund on a continual basis is by definition a high priority activity.
Your CAPER should report on cumulative progress in achieving high priority goals. In order
to show the greatest consistency between the Action Plan and The City's 5 -Year Strategy, the City
may want to amend its current Priority Needs Table prior to or concurrent with submission of the
CAPER. The nine high priorities identified in your current 5 -Year Strategy, Priority Needs Table are
cited below:
Housing Rental
Housing Ownership (owner rehab and ownership assistance)
Economic Development —Micro Enterprise
Public Facilities /Improvements: Flood Drainage
Public Facilities /Improvements: Sidewalks
Public Services: Transportation
Public Services: Employment Training
Public Services: Senior Programs
Homeless Continuum of Care: Shelters, Transition Housing, and Services
Proposed CDBG activities appear to meet regulatory eligibility requirements. However, the
following comments are cited regarding some of the proposed projects (please submit a response
or revised information by October 22,2002):
(1) A number of the activities are public facilities /improvements requiring compliance with
the low- moderate income area benefit national objective. The Listing of Proposed Projects
included, in most cases, census tract data within the service area of the proposed project.
However, since information on the total low- moderate income persons in relation to total persons
was not shown, a determination could not be made that the 51 percent low- moderate income
threshold had been met. We recommend that this be corrected at the time projects are placed
into the IDIS system.
(2) Project 0004 proposes CDBG funding for upgrading computer equipment. Although
equipment cost is an eligible expense in connection with a public service, the narrative does not
explain what particular public service will be undertaken. Please keep in mind that 570.501(e)
requires that a public service be either a new service or a quantifiable increase in the level of an
existing service above that which has been provided by or on behalf of the unit of general local
government in the 12 calendar months before the submission of the action plan.
(3) Please keep in mind that a narrative must be submitted to this office if any funded
public service is expected to meet the "no record keeping" option under the national objective of
2
low and moderate income limited clientele (see 24 CFR 570.208(a)(2)(i)(C)). In this regard, you
are reminded that Youth Services is not a presumed low /mod- income limited clientele group.
(4) Project 0014 shows CDBG dollars being spent on property improvements, which
requires this activity to be reclassified from a public service to a public facility (570.201(a)). This
activity allows for public facility rehab cost. Since the amount of CDBG funding is less than
$25,000, 570.503(b)(8) (Reversion of Assets) does not apply to the subrecipient agreement.
Enclosed are Grant Agreements and Funding Approvals for each program, which constitute
the contracts between the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the City of Round
Rock. Please execute and return two copies of the form to this office. Failure to return the
executed funding form within 60 days may be deemed to constitute rejection of the grant and
cause for HUD to determine that funds are available for reallocation to other grantees.
Should there be a need to establish or change the depository account where the grant
funds are being wired to, a Direct Deposit sign -up form (SF- 1199A) must be completed by both
the City and involved financial institution and mailed to our Field Office.
We want to remind the City that certain activities are subject to the provisions of 24 CFR
Part 58 (Environmental Review Procedures for the CDBG Program). Funds for such activities may
not be obligated or expended unless there is a written release of funds notification from our Field
Office. To initiate this process for these activities, the City must submit to our office an executed
HUD form 7015.15 - Request for Release of Funds and Certification.
If your Action Plan proposed activities that include funds for the planning or construction of
water or sewer facilities, such activities are subject to review under Executive Order 12372,
Intergovernmental Review of Federal programs, and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR
Part 52. A written release of funds for such activities is required. Note that such a special
condition applies to water or sewer activities not previously submitted for E.O. 12372 reviews that
you may add through an amendment or other revision to your Consolidated Plan.
We thank you for the submission of this Action Plan. During the next year, we look
forward to continuing our successful partnership with the City and working with you in the
development of a new 5 -Year Consolidated Plan Strategy.
If you have any questions concerning this grant notification and the procedures and
proposed actions set forth in this letter, please contact Larry Wilkinson, Community Planning and
Development Representative, at (210) 475 -6800, Extension 2300.
