Recent (ADOPTED) legislative changes now require cities to allocate all CDBG funds, Therefore, staff requested the City Council appropriate $47,906,00 from CDBG unallocated funds to be used for the FY 2002/03 Residential Housing Rehabilitation Program. Additionally, staff recommended the City Council approve the 2003/04 CDBG Program as set forth in the December 17, 2002 staff report. Federal regulations require that no less than 70% of a grantees aggregate funds (2003/04 Allocation $426,527,00) are to be used to support activities that benefit persons of low and moderate income, resulting in a minimum of $298,569,00 to be spent for low/mod activities, A maximum of 25% of the funds ($106,632.00) may be utilized for public service programs and a maximum of 10% ($42,653,00) for the administration of the CDBG program, The current CDBG budget ($533,820.00) included both the 2002/03 allocation amount of $426,527,00. plus the unallocated funds of $107,293.00 from the previous year. In prior years, cities were not required to appropriate their unallocated funds either during the I year or when pianning the upcoming years budget. However, HUD mandates that the current un allocated fund balance of $47,906,00 be assigned to one of the 2002/03 programs, The 2 12/17102 44:0251 Residential Housing Rehabilitation Program is the only eligible program to receive these funds. I Due to the success of the fiscal year 2002/03 programs, staff recommended that ongoing programs be continued and funded as represented in the December 17, 2002 staff report.
