The AP contains the funding recommendations made by the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and Staff. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council has not taken any previous action on this matter. BACKGROUND: As an entitlement city, the City of Pueblo is required by HUD to complete an annual action plan for each of the years of the Consolidated Plan (CP). This AP and the accompanying documentation serve as the City’s application to HUD for the 2017-2018 CDBG and HOME federal grants. This is the third-year AP under the 2015-2019 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. A public meeting was held to receive citizen input and to hear applicant presentations. The recommendations of the CAC were presented to the City Council at the October 17, 2016, Work Session. The CAC recommendations were published in The Pueblo Chieftain on May 15, 2017; formally opening the 30-day comment period. The AP was distributed to the City Council under separate cover. The AP was made available to the public for review. Copies were available at the City Clerk’s Office, the Department of Housing and Citizen Services, and the City’s website. To date, no comments have been received by the Department. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The City will receive $1,326,342 in CDBG and $541,654 in HOME grants for housing and community development projects in 2017. The HOME grant requires a 25% ($117,809.75) match. The match was previously appropriated within the City’s 2017 budget. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The CAC has recommended that the City Council approve the activities outlined in the 2017 Action Plan. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: The following stakeholder processes were undertaken by the Department. On May 2, 2016, applications for grant funding were made available to the community. A public hearing was held before the CAC on August 11, 2016. The public hearing was open for public comments, and for funding applicants to present their requests to the CAC. The CAC deliberations were held on August 11, 2016. This was an open-meeting, however public comments were not taken. At the October 17, 2016, Work Session, Staff presented the recommendations of the CAC. The 30-day comment period was initiated on May 15, 2017, with the publication of a public notice in The Pueblo Chieftain.
