RE: Approve Submittal of 2016 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan
BAC KG ROU N D/ANALYS IS
The City of Oshkosh is a US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designated
`entitlement community' and receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually.
Entitlement communities are cities with a population greater than 50,000 and receive CDBG funding
each year based on Congressional appropriations. The 2016 allocation is $752,818 (see attached
proposed budget). The 2016 Program Year begins May 1, 2016 and will end April 30, 2017.
Each year the City prepares a CDBG Action Plan that indicates to HUD how federal funds will be
spent. HUD regulations require that at least 70% of CDBG funds benefit low to moderate income
(LMI) eligible persons. Examples include housing rehabilitation loans for owner occupied homes,
public service organizations serving LMI persons, home ownership for income eligible families, slum
and blight removal in low to moderate income areas, etc.
Public Service applications are currently being evaluated by a 6 member committee consisting of
representatives from Oshkosh Area United Way, Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, and the City
of Oshkosh. Public Service allocations can represent no more than 15% of the total allocation. With
carry over funds for payments to the 2015 public service agencies, staff is recommending that the City
allocate $110,000 for general public service organizations serving low to moderate income persons.
Owner occupied housing improvement applications (non-public service) were accepted by the
Community Development Department thru March 15. These applications do not include first time
homebuyer's assistance, emergency repairs or rehabilitation of rental properties. Non-Public Service
allocations are included in the minimum requirements that 70% of CDBG funds benefit LMI persons.
Staff is recommending that the City allocate $202,818 for Housing Rehabilitation for owner occupied
units, first time homebuyer assistance and emergency repairs.
Remaining funding is recommended to be distributed to Central City Redevelopment for removal of
slum and blight ($195,000), Neighborhood Initiatives ($141,000), Fair Housing Activities ($14,000),
and Administration /Community Planning ($90,000).
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated. While the CDBG program does not require leveraging, the program does leverage
other resources. The City budgets funds in the Capital Improvements Program for additional
programs for housing related activities (both owner occupied and rental), public facilities
improvements, landscaping, curb appeal projects and acquisition of properties to eliminate slum and
blight. All these programs/activities leverage additional tax dollars being brought into the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Council approves submittal of the 2016 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan to the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Plan Commission made a determination of consistency at its April 5, 2016 meeting that the
proposed programs and activities in the 2016 Annual Action Plan are consistent with the City's 2005-
2025 Comprehensive Plan, official maps, or other planned activities of the City.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The Fiscal Year 2016 Annual Action Plan represents the second year of the City's Consolidated
Plan (Con Plan) for Fiscal Years 2015-2019 as approved by the Oshkosh Common Council and
approved by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Action Plan is
the City of Oshkosh's application for HUD entitlement grant funds and identifies the proposed
programs and projects to be funded during the City's Fiscal Year (FY) 2016.
During the 2016 Program Year, the City of Oshkosh will pursue the implementation of projects
and activities in four major categories: 1) Central City Redevelopment & Community Facilities;
2) Housing & Neighborhood Development; 3) Public Services; and 4) Program Administration &
Planning. Of the $752,818 in estimated CDBG funds plus 2015 Program Income, a minimum of
70% of funds must be spent on activities that will benefit LMI persons.
Activities funded with CDBG funds in this Action Plan will meet the national objectives of
benefiting LMI persons and/or preventing or eliminating slum or blighting conditions.
It is important to note that the Con Plan sets goals and strategies to be achieved over the FY
2015 -2019 period and identifies a list of funding priorities. The six Con Plan Goals represent
high priority needs for the City and serve as the basis for FY 2016 programs and activities
identified in the Action Plan. The Con Plan goals are listed below in no particular order:
• Provide safe, decent, affordable housing
• Create strong and healthy neighborhoods
• Create suitable living environment through Public Services
• Provide overall administration of the CDBG program, conduct fair housing activities, as
well as Comprehensive Planning activities.
• Create suitable living environment through public facilities or infrastructure
improvements
• Create economic opportunities

For details regarding the objectives and outcomes targeted in the Con Plan and this Annual
Plan in relation to each of the six goals listed above, please refer to Sections AP-15 (Annual
Goals and Objectives) and AP-35 (Projects).
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
p roj ects.
The City continues to monitor and evaluate the performance of the City's CDBG programs and
activities while ensuring regulatory compliance. The City's Annual Action Plan and
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPERS) have provided details
about the innovations, projects and programs completed by the City over the past (documents
may be viewed or downloaded from the City's website).
The City recognizes that the evaluation of past performance is critical to ensuring the City and
its subrecipients are implementing activities effectively and that those activities align with the
City's overall strategies and goals. The performance of programs and systems are evaluated on
a regular basis. The City continues to improve the CDBG subrecipient application process in
order to ease the administrative burden on applicants and volunteer community-member boards
and reviewers.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process

Introduction
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(I))
When developing the Consolidated Plan, the City launched a collaborative effort to consult with
elected officials, City departments, community stakeholders and beneficiaries of entitlement
programs to inform and develop the priorities and strategies contained within the five year plan.
City staff also consulted with the Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority and the
Winnebagoland Housing Coalition.
The Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority's mission is to promote adequate and
affordable housing, economic opportunity and a suitable living environment free from
discrimination. The Authority's staff are key participants in the preparation of the Consolidated
Plan as well as Annual Action Plans and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Reports (CAPERs).
The Winnebagoland Housing Coalition has representatives from various housing and social
service organizations including public and assisted housing providers and private and
governmental health, mental health and service agencies. A representative from the City of
Oshkosh Community Development Department meets monthly with the Coalition to obtain input
from those focusing on housing and services related to individuals with disabilities, victims of
domestic abuse, veterans, homeless, elderly persons, etc.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

Oshkosh area. A representative from the City of Oshkosh Community Development
Department meets monthly with the Coalition to obtain input from those focusing on housing
and services related to individuals with disabilities, victims of domestic abuse, homeless, elderly

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The City will continue to initiate progress towards implementing programs/activities in LMI/LMA
neighborhoods. City departments will continue to participate in internal discussions (Police,
Inspections, Planning, Assessor, etc) and coordinate with citizens in identified areas (such as
neighborhood associations). By coordinating actions of City staff, the obstacle for staff capacity
will be addressed so that actions can be as concentrated as possible. Also by involving the
residents of these neighborhoods, the residents will be a resource of information and for
implementation of the strategies.
Coordination between the public and private sectors will form a partnership to address priorities
of these neighborhoods. The intended outcome of tailoring needs to the neighborhoods will be
that the residents will be much more informed and intricately involved in the governance and
neighborhood redevelopment activity processes in order to direct and aid in the implementation
of neighborhood projects. The City's partnership with a local non-profit, Greater Oshkosh
Healthy Neighborhood Initiative (GO-HNI), is intended to be used as a nongovernmental tool to
assist in the establishment of neighborhood associations in priority areas. The goals of this
partnership are neighborhood revitalization, community building, lending, homebuyer education,
housing rehabilitation, general review of the housing and neighborhood improvement programs
and broader neighborhood improvement activities, as determined by the City, GO-HNI and
resident leader neighborhood associations.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
All programs, projects, and activities to be carried out under the 2016 Annual Action Plan will
meet one of the three National objectives of:
• Benefit to low and moderate income (LMI) persons.
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
• Meet a need having a particular urgency
Funds will be used to assist LMI persons and households on a city-wide basis or in
neighborhoods with approved associations, occur in and benefit LMI/LMA census tracts/block
groups, or in spot blighted or approved redevelopment areas. See Exhibit B for low to moderate
income census block groups and Exhibit C for the City's approved neighborhood association
map. It should be noted the neighborhood associations map will change as new associations
are recognized by the City.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Assistance will be directed primarily to LMI census tracts and block groups and recognized
neighborhood associations (as shown in the maps in Exhibit B and Exhibit C.), as well as
properties spot blighted or designated as redevelopment areas by the City, or on a community
wide basis to LMI income eligible persons. The majority of the LMI census tracts and block
groups are located within the oldest areas of the Central City, which are predominately single
and two family residential neighborhoods (though many have experienced inappropriate single
family to multiple family conversions), but also include a mix of commercial, industrial and
institutional uses.
Residents in these areas have limited financial capacity to address housing and non-housing
conditions, as well as neighborhood revitalization efforts. The City's 2016 CDBG Action Plan
activities and programs are intended to address these needs.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
Coordination and delivery of homeless services is provided through a Homeless Service
Providers Network as part of the Continuum of Care. ADVOCAP serves as the lead agency
within the Network, which also includes Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services (CADASI),
American Red Cross of East Central Wisconsin, Legal Action of Wisconsin, and The Salvation
Army — Oshkosh Corps. ADVOCAP also serves as lead agency and fiscal agent for
consolidated applications for HUD ESG/THP and HPP funds. Additionally, ADVOCAP serves
as lead agency for participation in the Balance of State Continuum of Care organization. Both
the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition and the Homeless Service Providers Network discuss
homeless prevention activities and strategies. The City will continue to participate in these
meetings and assist with funding where possible.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Homeless service providers maintain contact with other agencies that may not be active
members of the housing coalition to facilitate homeless participants accessing services in a
timely manner or to assure appropriate referral of persons by other agencies to the homeless
service providers.
Also, ADVOCAP provides staff support to conduct point in time surveys of homeless needs,
prepare annual needs assessment and prioritization of unmet needs, and write grants for joint
homeless activities. Joint training activities are also planned to benefit participating agencies.
The City will continue to participate on the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and
obtain input from organizations providing the necessary services and assist with funding where
possible.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Priorities of the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition is to continue supporting the Day by Day
Warming shelter in Oshkosh that serves a small but definite population of persons with limited
shelter options in the community. The Day by Day Warming Shelter adds an important level to
the continuum of care in this area by providing a safe setting to a vulnerable homeless
population. The City will continue to support this public service activity in 2016.

Annual Action Plan
33
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Written goals of the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition include:
• Promote public and private funds to expand affordable housing opportunities and
supportive services
• Educate agencies on legislative issues that impact affordable housing
• Educate public officials about housing issues
• Identify issues regarding emergency housing and homelessness in the community
• Adopt in-service agendas and endorse solutions to emergency housing issues and
homelessness
As a prevention strategy, an area of emphasis is providing more employment-related services
to help persons move from shelter into permanent housing.
The City will continue to participate on the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and
obtain input from organizations providing the necessary services and assist with funding where
possible.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The City will continue to participate on the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and
obtain input from organizations providing the necessary services and assist with funding where
possible.
While City staff will not lead the effort to create a discharge policy, staff will participate in any
efforts to create such a policy.

Discussion
The City of Oshkosh does not receive any private or public funds to address homeless needs or
to prevent homelessness. Since there are already a number of public and private organizations
providing these homeless services in the community, the City does not provide direct homeless
assistance or identify specific planned actions at ending chronic homelessness. Thus, an action
plan for ending chronic homelessness or barriers are not identified by the City.
However, the Continuum of Care (CoC) in Oshkosh has a direct influence in addressing the
needs of the homeless. In 2010, the following priorities were established by the CoC and
continue to be followed:
1. Service gap in short term assistance
2. Case management with supportive services
3. Accessible emergency shelter along with motel vouchers
4. Medical and health related services
5. Transportation help
6. Transitional housing
7. Housing and supportive services for chronic homeless
8. Essential personal needs such as food, clothing and personal care items
9. Subsidized permanent housing
10. Foreclosure help
11. Daycare support
12. Fair housing assistance
The City of Oshkosh does not receive HOPWA funds.
One year goals for the number of households to be provided housing through the use of HOPWA for:
Short-term rent, mortgage, and utility assistance to prevent homelessness of the
individual or family
Tenant-based rental assistance
Units provided in housing facilities (transitional or permanent) that are being
developed, leased, or operated
Units provided in transitional short-term housing facilities developed, leased, or

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction
The City's 2005-2025 Comprehensive Plan calls for the following actions to maintain and
rehabilitate the City's existing housing stock:
• Continue housing rehabilitation programming which provides assistance to low and
moderate income persons in upgrading their housing and in purchasing and improving
properties in older neighborhoods.
• Encourage downtown/central city residential development through rehabilitation or new
construction
• Implement "Neighborhood Improvement Strategies" for neighborhood and housing
issues.
• Develop program and encourage owners to convert non-competitive rental property back
to owner occupied structures.
• Create a rehabilitation code for pre-existing conditions on historic properties.
• Work with public and private housing providers to plan for the development of additional
housing units affordable to low and moderate income owner and renters as needed and
to secure additional subsidies for rental of existing privately owned units.
The City will continue to fund programs and activities that address affordable housing for all
citizens to the extent possible. However, due to funding limitations both through Federal
programs and at the local level, the City will have to use its funding strategically.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City's Analysis of Impediments summarized actions to be taken to address barriers to
affordable housing. Please see the table in Exhibit D for actions the City has completed and will
continue to undertake to address impediments to fair housing.
Also, there are a number of State and local regulations designed to promote the orderly
development and maintenance of safe, decent and sanitary housing in the community.
Sometimes these regulations can act as barriers to affordable housing.
To eliminate duplication, the City uses the building codes established by the State for uniform
construction standards. These standards parallel the three National Code standards and are
minimum provisions to ensure general safety for the public. The State codes and guidelines are
also appealable to the State. Consequently, the City's building codes do not appear to hinder
the development or preservation of affordable housing.
r� :
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Annual Action Plan
�
Likewise, the locally established Minimum Housing Code does not create a barrier for affordable
housing. These standards parallel the National Minimum Housing Code Standards and are
minimum requirements established to preserve and promote the public health, safety, comfort,
personality and general welfare of the people. Their enforcement is necessary to preserve and
encourage the private/public interests in housing and its maintenance. At the same time, these
standards are appealable, locally, to ensure there are no undue hardships. The City provides
substantial resources and technical assistance to the development and preservation of
affordable housing.
The City's zoning and land-use codes promote the morals, aesthetics, prosperity, health, safety
and general welfare of all people in Oshkosh. These codes are constructed to allow compatible
development throughout the community and are flexible enough to encourage redevelopment in
the community's existing, established areas. This is evidenced by development in both the
City's outlying and urban areas. These codes, like other local codes, are appealable locally to
ensure equitable and fair treatment.
All residential properties are assessed on a citywide basis using market sales data of
comparable properties in and around the immediate neighborhood. Citywide assessing appears
to ensure an equitable treatment of residential property and provides an incentive to those who
maintain and improve their properties.
The current public policies relating to housing and, in particular, affordable housing, do not
appear to be excessive, exclusionary, or discriminatory nor do they duplicate any other policies.
The City will work with developers, homeowners and public agencies that encounter barriers to
affordable housing to address the issues and guide them through any administrative channels
they can use to overcome these barriers.

AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction
A primary obstacle to meeting the underserved needs in the City of Oshkosh is the lack of
available funding to the City and to the various non-profit agencies the City partners with in
serving LMI residents. As entitlement grants shrink, the cost of delivery services and
completing projects increases and the economy continues to be challenging -- the need is
greater.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Due to funding limitations both through HUD programs and at the local level, the City will have
to use its funding strategically. For redevelopment or neighborhood projects, funds will be
concentrated first in high priority and redevelopment areas.
The State of Wisconsin also continues to have issues with budget deficits, which has a direct
effect on the amount of shared revenue coming back to the local level for projects and
programs. The reduction of shared revenues is expected to continue or increase. This loss of
funding will directly affect the amount of funds that can be budgeted locally.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to fund the housing rehabilitation program to rehabilitate and improve
existing units for both homeowners and renters and assist first time homebuyers with
downpayment assistance
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Any program that undertakes rehabilitation work will meet the requirements of the lead safe
housing rules.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
In the past, CDBG funds have been allocated to local homeless shelters, a domestic abuse
shelter, food pantry and other public service agencies that directly serve families and individuals
that are facing financial hardship. The City will continue to fund public service agencies under
the CDBG program guidelines.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
City staff will continue to participate and serve on community organization boards to maintain
open communication with other governmental entities and service providers throughout the
community.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
City staff will continue to participate with the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition which is a
valuable forum used to communicate ongoing or developing issues within the community,
especially in terms of housing, homelessness and the needs of special populations. City staff
will use these discussions to evaluate needs in terms of how CDBG funds may be able to fund
activities to assist with these issues.

PUBLIC HEARING
2016 CDBG ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
March 30, 2016 — Oshkosh City Hall, Room 203
Five Oshkosh residents were in attendance (see attached sign in sheet).
The meeting began at 5:00 pm with a welcome by Darlene Brandt, Grants Coordinator for the City of
Oshkosh. Ms. Brandt provided a presentation outlining the anticipated funding for the 2016 CDBG
program year, highlighting the four major categories and discussing how much funding was permitted
and allocations for each category.
Discussion in the form of a comment/question and answer session followed. A question was raised
about how the neighborhood initiative funding was allocated and what type of projects/activities would
be eligible. Ms. Brandt noted that neighborhood initiative funds being allocated could be used in
areas with approved neighborhood associations for good neighbor grants for curb appeal
improvements; acquisition and demolition of slum and blight properties; housing rehabilitation; and
public improvements. It was noted that City staff works with approved neighborhood associations on
activities the neighborhood would like to see occur. Staff ranks all the projects/activities suggested
by the associations and then based on available funding from various sources (i.e. CDBG, great
neighborhood CIP funds, healthy neighborhoods, etc.), projects are implemented.
Discussion took place on the housing rehabilitation program. Comments included the types of
improvements undertaken (roofs, windows, siding, doors, electrical, plumbing, lead paint reduction,
etc), and what the income limits are. A question was raised if the funds were limited to certain areas
or city-wide. Ms. Brandt noted the program is offered city-wide, but homeowners must be income
qualified based on HUD income guidelines.
Residents felt the public service allocation wasn't sufficient to address needs in the community, but
understood the guidelines and restrictions applied by HUD.
Ms. Brandt informed the public that the DRAFT Action Plan will be reviewed by the Plan Commission
on April 5 at 4:00 pm and the Common Council will be asked to approve the Plan and authorize its
submittal to HUD on April 12 at its 6:00 pm meeting.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 6:15 pm.

L REVIEW 2016 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK
GRANT PROGRAM
Staff requests review and acceptance of the 2016 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development
Block Grant Program.
The purpose of this review is for the Plan Commission to make a determination of'consistency that the
proposed programs and activities in the 2016 Annual Action Plan is consistent with the City's 2005-2025
Comprehensive Plan, official maps, or other planned activities of the City.
Ms. Brandt presented the item and explained the objectives of the program and stated that the City has
been an entitlement community since 1976. She further stated that the projects funded by this program
must meet one of the national objectives: benefit to low and moderate income persons (LMI), aid in the
prevention of slum and blight, or urgent need such as disasters and emergencies. The City's allocation for
2016 is $752,818 which is broken down into four categories and she explained the projects that would fall
under each category. The allocation of funds would be $195,000 for central city redevelopment,
$202,818 for owner occupied housing rehabilitation, $141,000 for neighborhood initiatives, $110,000 for
public services, and $104,000 for administration and planning. She reviewed photos of completed
projects that were funded from these various categories in the past year and the agencies that receive
funding through the public services consortium and the breakdown of funding for administration which is
to provide staff salaries and training as well as funding for the Fair Housing Center of Northeastern
Wisconsin. She further stated that after review by the Plan Commission to make a determination of
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and approval by the Common Council, the Action Plan would
be submitted to HUD for approval.
Mr. Thoms questioned if it was mandated to allocate funds to all of these categories or if the City can opt
to change the allocations as the City receives less funding than it did in the past.
Ms. Brandt responded that there are certain caps on how much can be allocated to each category and the
City cannot exceed these percentages in some programs.
Mr. Thoms commented that he would like to see funding reallocated from the Central City projects to the
housing related programs.

►,,
Ms. Brandt indicated that in 2015 the City received $270,000 in program income from repayment of past
housing rehabilitation loans and that it is difficult to spend all of the funds in a timely manner if too much
is allocated to that program.
Mr. Burich added that the Central City category was not required to be funded however a minimum of
70% of the funding is required to benefit LMI persons and the housing and public services categories
meet these needs and the central city redevelopment proj ects are opportunity based and easier to expend.
The funds allocated to these programs must be spent in a one year period or the funding could be
recaptured by HUD.
Mr. Thoms stated that it seems more logical to apply the funds to programs that offer the most benefit to
the LMI households such as the housing programs as the funding continues to be decreased each year and
he felt the funds allocated to central city redevelopment had less benefit to LMI and the need continues to
grow for assistance.
Mr. Burich commented that the $195,000 allocated to central city redevelopment will cover the costs of
removal of blighted properties which benefits the community by improving the affected LMI
neighborhood in which the property is located.
Ms. Propp stated that she felt the removal of slum and blighted properties was a huge benefit to the
community as a whole.
Ms. Brandt discussed some of the circumstances where this funding has been utilized and the
improvements that are realized by the neighborhoods where these properties are located as deteriorated or
abandoned homes negatively affect adjacent properties.
Ms. Lohry discussed the Winnebago County Human Services board meeting she attended recently and
that due to lack of funding the facility utilized for disabled citizens to gather for social type activities was
lost. She discussed the possibility of utilizing this funding source to create a new location for a social
gathering facility for the mentally handicapped residents of the community as she felt this was an
important facet to have available. She suggested a central city location that could be acquired for this
purpose.
Ms. Brandt indicated that the city participates in the Housing Coalition meetings where these types of
activities or objectives are discussed.
Mr. Buck added that the City has assisted with funding this type of program in the past through the Public
Service category.
Mr. Gray stated that he agrees with Mr. Thoms regarding the allocation of funds and that at the last
Common Council meeting the purchase of a home on Bowen Street was approved and questioned which
category the funding would be taken from.
Ms. Brandt responded that this was the first project done of this type and that it would be taken out of the
allocation for housing rehabilitation and it is proposed the house be rehabilitated and sold to an eligible
LMI household.
Mr. Gray then questioned what the Housing Coalition was and what was its function.

Ms. Brandt replied that the Housing Coalition consisted of a variety of public service type organizations
that provide services to LMI clients that deal with reference points for situations such as homelessness,
financial issues and mental illness.
Mr. Gray inquired if the City has focused funding on particular areas containing LMI households of the
city in the past.
Mr. Burich responded that it has been addressed under the context of the Comprehensive Plan which has
designated priority areas for LMI issues and discussed the Near East Neighborhood plan which was a
focused area of the city in past years for rehabilitation efforts.
Mr. Gray commented that he does not think that the City promotes the housing assistance program as well
as it could. He also stated that there was a reference somewhere in the Action Plan document that the
income over the ne�t three to four years would be 2.8 million dollars and questioned if this was an
estimate or actual figure.
Ms. Brandt responded that it was an estimate of block grant fund allocations for the next five years and is
based on an average of past funds received.
Mr. Gray then questioned if the public services consortium allocation was greater than it was last year.
Ms. Brandt replied that this category was allocated $85,000 last year and was increased to $110,000 this
year. The funding for public services will provide support for agencies that provide services to LMI
persons and the proposed funding is within HUD's 15% cap.
Mr. Gray inquired how many applications were received for the public services funding allocation.
Ms. Brandt responded that 10 applications were received this year.
Mr. Thoms questioned how much funding was being requested.
Ms. Brandt replied that $149,000 was requested this year.
Mr. Cummings stated that the house on Bowen Street that was purchased was acquired for $20,000 and
after approximately $80,000 of rehabilitation costs, the property could be sold for an estimated $120,000-
$125,000.
Mr. Nollenberger wanted to clarify that the Plan Commission needed to make a determination that the
Action Plan was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and not to approve how the money is
allocated to specific objectives. Staff replied that is correct.
Motion by Propp that the 2016 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant
Program is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, offzcial maps and other planned
activities of the City.
Seconded by Lohry. Motion carried 8-0.
