CC - Item 2A - Public Hearing on Annual Action Plana ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER G%-l"e_~ DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 2008 SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007-08 SUMMARY Each year between May and July, the City of Rosemead submits an Annual Action Plan covering the period July 1 of that year through June 30 of the following year to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). An Annual Action Plan is required by HUD in order for the City to receive federal funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs. The Annual Action Plan includes the proposed activities, resources and expenditures for the CDBG and HOME programs. Having reviewed the activities identified in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Annual Action Plan, staff is proposing to amend this Plan to better reflect the needs of the City. CDBG entitlement funds which were to be used during the Fiscal Year 2007-08 for City Hall ADA Improvements are recommended now to be used as follows: City Facilities ADA Improvements $330,000 Provide funds for ADA Improvements to city-owned buildings. This revision will allow funds originally allocated for only City Hall ADA improvements to be expanded to include ADA improvements for all city-owned buildings. It has been determined that there are several other city facilities that are in need of ADA improvements and with this amendment these funds would now be able to be expanded on these facilities. It does not affect or change the original allocation amount of $330,000. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize submittal of the amended Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development covering the period July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008.
