Mr. Inacio, Director of Finance and Administration for OSPCD appeared before the committee to discuss the HUD Action Plan Development 2019-2020, representing the second year of a five- year Consolidated Action Plan. Mr. Inacio also presented a two-page document showing changes between the 2006-2010 and 2011-2015 low income census tracts. He stated that CDBG funding is essentially flat. HOME had a slight decrease of 20% and ESG is level funded. Starting as of April 1, 2019 census data of record will be 2011-2015 ACS data which previously had been 2006-2010 data. The major program categories will remain the same. The city will no longer promote the commercial property improvement program as a stand-alone program. The city will now have a broader program with small businesses, anticipating small business needs with bridge closers and income thresholds of 1-5 employees. There was a unanimous voice vote in favor of this item. RESULT: APPROVED Handout: • HUD Data (with 208164)
