Approve recommendations for FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25 Economic Development (ED) projects as recommended by staff or amended by the Committee. 2. Approve recommendations for FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25 Infrastructure/Public Facilities (IPF) projects as recommended by staff or amended by the Committee 3. Direct the Department of Conservation and Development to prepare a staff report on the Committee’s recommendations. The staff report will be submitted together with funding recommendations for all other CDBG categories for the Board of Supervisors consideration on June 21, 2022 as a “Consent” item. BACKGROUND The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit staff recommendations for funding in the CDBG ED and IPF categories. Spreadsheets summarizing staff’s recommendations and staff’s analysis/evaluation are attached for both the CDBG ED category and the CDBG IPF category. The County’s CDBG Program application became available on October 7, 2021, with County staff holding a “Kickoff Meeting” to provide information and technical assistance to prospective applicants on the overall 2 application process. Five applications in the ED category and three applications in the IPF category were submitted by the December 6, 2021 deadline. Available Funding: The County, as an entitlement jurisdiction, receives an annual allocation of CDBG funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD has a formula for the CDBG Program to determine the amount of CDBG funds that an entitlement jurisdiction will receive for the program year. The County’s FY 2022/23 CDBG grant amount is $4,543,847, which is approximately four percent less than the County received this year. On November 4, 2014, the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted funding guidelines for the allocation of CDBG funds that require the County’s annual grant be allocated to the following CDBG eligible categories: Category of Use Allocation Guidelines CDBG Program Available Funding Affordable Housing 45% $2,044,731 Public Services *17% $ 772,454 Economic Development 10% $ 454,385 Infrastructure/Public Facility 8% $ 363,508 Administration 20% $ 908,769 Total FY 2022/23 CDBG Grant $4,543,847 *If the amount does not exceed HUD’s statutory cap for Public Services The CDBG Consolidated Plan operates under a five-year period. In October 2013, the Board approved having two separate and distinct funding cycles for the non-housing categories of the CDBG Program to align with the five-year period of the Consolidated Plan. The first cycle is a two-year funding cycle (FY 2020/21 and FY 2021/22) for programs/projects in the CDBG public service, economic development, and infrastructure/public facilities categories. The second cycle (FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25) is a three-year funding cycle to conclude the final three years of the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Economic Development Category: Pursuant to the Board’s guidelines, a total of $454,385 (10 percent of the County’s grant amount) is available for ED projects. A total of five applications were received requesting a total of $334,250. Staff recommends all five projects be funded at the amounts requested. The summary of the ED recommendations is listed in Attachment A-1. Also included as an attachment is staff’s analysis/evaluation and recommendation table (Attachment A-2) to provide more information and details about each ED application. Subsequently, a total of $120,135 is available from the ED category to fund projects in other categories. Staff recommends making the $120,135 available to other CDBG categories, including housing, to ensure that all the available CDBG funds are allocated to eligible projects carried out during FY 2022/23. Given that the ED category operates under a three-year funding cycle to conclude the final three years of the CDBG Consolidated Plan period, the recommended amounts reflected for each respective agency/program for FY 2022/23 are the recommended amounts for the same agencies/programs for FY 3 2023/24 and FY 2024/25, contingent on the satisfactory performance of each respective agency/program and the County receiving a similar allocation of CDBG funds from HUD. Infrastructure and Public Facility Category: Pursuant to the Board’s guidelines, a total of $363,508 (eight percent of the County’s grant amount) is available for IPF projects. Three applications were received by the application deadline requesting a total of $264,141. Staff recommends all three projects be funded at the amounts requested. The summary of the IPF recommendations is listed in Attachment B-1. Also included as an attachment is staff’s analysis/evaluation and recommendation table (Attachment B-2) to provide more information and details about each IPF application. Subsequently, a total of $99,367 is available from the IPF category to fund projects in other categories. Staff recommends making the $99,367 available to other CDBG categories, including housing, to ensure that all the available CDBG funds are allocated to eligible projects carried out during FY 2022/23. Given that there were no projects that requested or recommended funding for FY 2023/24 or FY 2024/25 funds, CDBG staff recommends issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) later this year for IPF projects to be carried out in FY 2023/24 and in FY 2024/25 provided that the County receives CDBG funds for FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25. Application Process and Evaluation Criteria: Each applicant was required to submit an application describing the proposed project, need and target population, steps necessary to carry out the project, and proposed budget. Applications are reviewed by staff for completeness and eligibility and against criteria listed below. Applicants are also interviewed by staff to respond to or clarify any issues related to the application. Below are the general criteria used by staff in evaluating applications: Intended purpose (outcome) - The quantitative and qualitative goals of the project are achievable, measurable and result in a desirable outcome.
