HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.z December 17, 2018 Item No.________ CDBG SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT WITH DARTS FOR LOOP SENIOR BUS SERVICE, SENIOR OUTDOOR CHORES, AND HOME REPAIRS Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Authorize the City Administrator to sign a CDBG Subrecipient Agreement with DARTS to provide Loop Senior Bus Service and Senior Outdoor Chores and Minor Home Repairs from 1/1/19 through 12/31/19. Overview The City of Lakeville receives federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding administered through the Dakota County Community Development Agency on an annual basis. The City of Lakeville is currently supporting the Envision Lakeville community value “A Home for All Ages and Stages of Life” by contracting with DARTS to provide support and assistance through the LOOP senior circulator bus service (LOOP), outdoor chores, and minor home repairs for Lakeville seniors. The LOOP runs in Lakeville on Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The estimated cost of providing service one day a week is approximately $25,000 for the year. The LOOP follows a route with designated stops, which is determined by the Lakeville LOOP Advisory Committee. The bus service offers a variety of stops including grocery and other retail stores, pharmacies, restaurants and senior living facilities. The cost to riders is $3 per day and riders can ride all day. No riders would be turned away for inability to pay. The Senior Outdoor Chores and Minor Home Repairs program provides assistance to seniors that supports their desire to age in place. Services include lawn care, snow removal, installation of grab bars, build/reinforce railings, check smoke detectors and more. City staff recommends designating $30,810 in CDBG funds for these DARTS programs. In return, DARTS agrees to verify that each senior being helped is a Lakeville resident and is at least 62 years of age or meet certain income guidelines. Primary Issues to Consider Has it been determined there is a need for this type of service in Lakeville? All three DARTS programs were offered in 2018 and have been warmly received by Lakeville’s seniors. Over 800 rides have been provided and more than 20 seniors have received outdoor chores and minor home repairs assistance.

CURRENT YEAR ALLOCATION – 2018 All funds must be expended by December 31, 2019  Activity 1: Lakeville LOOP • Description: The Lakeville LOOP is a fixed-route bus circulator that will run at least one weekday per week, 5-hours per day, and serve six senior facilities located in Lakeville, the Lakeville Heritage Center, and the Dakota County Heritage Library (see attached LOOP route, which is subject to change). The LOOP provides lift assistance and highly trained bus drivers for transporting seniors (62 and older) and people with disabilities. Weekly LOOP service will be provided in January through December 2019, with the exception of Thanksgiving Day. DARTS is STS certified and adheres to standards set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The most up-to-date inspection results are available upon request. City of Lakeville deliverables. The City will provide a communication contact, potential sponsor connections, free advertising and communication about LOOP service via the City website and social media platforms. DARTS deliverables. DARTS will provide the bus, qualified drivers and all necessary documentation of bus insurance, driver licenses, and training certification. DARTS will also provide quarterly reporting on ridership (see data collection). DARTS will regularly (not less than twice per year) convene the Lakeville LOOP Advisory Committee to discuss measures of success, adjustments to the route, schedule, fares, sponsorships, etc. • Oversight/Lakeville LOOP Advisory Committee. The Lakeville LOOP Advisory Committee will advise DARTS on key components of LOOP operations, including the final LOOP route and schedule, LOOP fares, and marketing. DARTS reserves the right to cancel service on days in which weather (or other emergencies) makes it unsafe to operate the LOOP. In those instances, DARTS will contact the City of Lakeville, members of the LOOP Advisory Committee and six senior facilities via email. The LOOP Advisory Committee will define measure of success for the LOOP to include average number of unique rides per day, growth in ridership, achieving long- Page 15 of 37 Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit A term sponsorship funding, and rider satisfaction based on an annual onboard rider survey. • Data collection for federal CDBG reporting: DARTS will certify that each Lakeville LOOP rider is either 62 years of age or older, a person with disabilities, or meets low to moderate income standards per federal CDBG requirements by using a LOOP Rider Application (see attached). DARTS will provide original copies of all rider applications on a quarterly basis, which contain data on the number of seniors (62 and older), people with disabilities, and low to moderate income individuals using the Lakeville LOOP service. • Payment: The City will contribute $20,810 in Community Development Block Grant funds to the LOOP in 2019. In recognition of sponsoring the Lakeville LOOP, DARTS will include the City’s logo on the bus banner (on both sides of the bus), on LOOP schedules, and promotional materials. • Payment Schedule: The City of Lakeville will pay DARTS in four quarterly payments, with the first payment occurring after January 1, subject to city review and approval. DARTS will invoice the city for these quarterly payments. • LOOP Budget: DARTS’ Annual Operating Budget for the LOOP is $25,000. The City of Lakeville will work in partnership with DARTS to secure the remaining sponsorship funding. If an excess of this amount is secured, the Lakeville LOOP Advisory Committee will determine whether to use this surplus to provide additional LOOP service, or to reserve it for operating costs in future years. A rider fare of $3.00 per day, all-you-can-ride will be charged. Fare revenue will be used for LOOP marketing and travel training expenses beyond the operating budget, incurred by DARTS. • Insurance: DARTS will maintain federal and state levels of insurance for all drivers/buses used in the Lakeville LOOP service, per Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and City of Lakeville standards. • Bus Driver Certification: All LOOP Drivers will have on record at DARTS, proof of an up-to-date medical card, Commercial Driver’s License (Class B, with a passenger endorsement), as well as up-to-date STS certification including regular training for Defensive Driving, First Aid, Passenger I and II, and Maltreatment Awareness.  Activity 2: Outdoor Chores and Home Repairs • Description: The City of Lakeville will provide project funding to pay for eligible residents (in accordance with CDBG Guidelines) who are in need of DARTS Outdoor Chore and Home Repair services. DARTS is a licensed home management agency. All individuals performing Home Repair and Outdoor Chores for the residents of Lakeville are background-checked through the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. DARTS deliverables: 2a. Outdoor Chores DARTS will provide lawn care, snow removal and other odd jobs deemed Page 16 of 37 Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit A necessary for proper home maintenance to qualifying residents of Lakeville. Excluded odd jobs are those requiring use of a ladder taller than 10 feet. 2b. Home Repair DARTS will assist qualifying residents of Lakeville with safety, accessibility and aesthetic maintenance solutions so they may continue to age in place in the home of their choosing. Excluded projects include any requiring permitting or a licensed plumber or electrician. • The DARTS communication team is happy to assist, at no charge, with ad content. City of Lakeville deliverables. The City of Lakeville will provide a communication contact, free advertising and communication about Outdoor Chores and Home Repairs via the city website, social media platforms and Heritage Center newsletters. • Data Collection for Federal CDBG Reporting: DARTS will certify each Lakeville resident who uses these services is either 62 years of age or older, a person with disabilities, or meets low- to moderate-income standards per federal CDBG requirements. DARTS will provide CDBG reporting data to the City of Lakeville as noted in the Invoicing section of this document. • Schedule: Ongoing • Payment: The City of Lakeville will contribute up to $10,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to the Outdoor Chores and Home Repair Services program activity. • Invoicing: DARTS will provide quarterly invoicing for chores and repairs services. Invoice amounts will vary, as they will reflect actual work performed not a flat quarterly fee. Refer to “DARTS Outdoor Chore and Home Repair Services” chart for fee structure. Invoices will be sent to the City of Lakeville by the 15th day of the month following quarter end. The City of Lakeville will pay DARTS in quarterly payments, with the first payment occurring after January 1, 2019 subject to city review and approval. Payment terms are 30 days after invoice date. • Data collection for federal CDBG reporting: DARTS will provide a quarterly report using the standard Dakota County CDBG Reporting Form, itemized by program, client first name and last initial, service performed, rate per hour or job, and any project materials. • Insurance: DARTS will provide the City of Lakeville with a certificate of insurance and will amend the policy if deemed necessary by DARTS staff.

The following criteria shall be used to determine whether a CDBG-assisted activity complies with one or more of the national objectives as required under §570.200(a)(2): (a) Activities benefiting low- and moderate-income persons. Activities meeting the criteria in paragraph (a) (1), (2), (3), or (4) of this section as applicable, will be considered to benefit low and moderate-income persons unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary. In assessing any such evidence, the full range of direct effects of the assisted activity will be considered. (The recipient shall appropriately ensure that activities that meet these criteria do not benefit moderate income persons to the exclusion of low income persons.) (1) Area benefit activities. (i) An activity, the benefits of which are available to all the residents in a particular area, where at least 51 percent of the residents are low and moderate-income persons. Such an area need not be coterminous with census tracts or other officially recognized boundaries but must be the entire area served by the activity. An activity that serves an area that is not primarily residential in character shall not qualify under this criterion. (ii) For metropolitan cities and urban counties, an activity that would otherwise qualify under §570.208(a)(1)(i), except that the area served contains less than 51 percent low- and moderate- income residents, will also be considered to meet the objective of benefiting low- and moderate- income persons where the proportion of such persons in the area is within the highest quartile of all areas in the recipient's jurisdiction in terms of the degree of concentration of such persons. This exception is inapplicable to non-entitlement CDBG grants in Hawaii. In applying this exception, HUD will determine the lowest proportion a recipient may use to qualify an area for this purpose, as follows: (A) All census block groups in the recipient's jurisdiction shall be rank ordered from the block group of highest proportion of low and moderate-income persons to the block group with the lowest. For urban counties, the rank ordering shall cover the entire area constituting the urban county and shall not be done separately for each participating unit of general local government. (B) In any case where the total number of a recipient's block groups does not divide evenly by four, the block group which would be fractionally divided between the highest and second quartiles shall be considered to be part of the highest quartile. (C) The proportion of low and moderate-income persons in the last census block group in the highest quartile shall be identified. Any service area located within the recipient's jurisdiction and having a proportion of low and moderate-income persons at or above this level shall be considered to be within the highest quartile. (D) If block group data are not available for the entire jurisdiction, other data acceptable to the Secretary may be used in the above calculations. (iii) An activity to develop, establish, and operate for up to two years after the establishment of, a uniform emergency telephone number system serving an area having less than the percentage Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 19 of 37 of low- and moderate-income residents required under paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section or (as applicable) paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, provided the recipient obtains prior HUD approval. To obtain such approval, the recipient must: (A) Demonstrate that the system will contribute significantly to the safety of the residents of the area. The request for approval must include a list of the emergency services that will participate in the emergency telephone number system; (B) Submit information that serves as a basis for HUD to determine whether at least 51 percent of the use of the system will be by low- and moderate-income persons. As available, the recipient must provide information that identifies the total number of calls actually received over the preceding 12-month period for each of the emergency services to be covered by the emergency telephone number system and relates those calls to the geographic segment (expressed as nearly as possible in terms of census tracts, block numbering areas, block groups, or combinations thereof that are contained within the segment) of the service area from which the calls were generated. In analyzing this data to meet the requirements of this section, HUD will assume that the distribution of income among the callers generally reflects the income characteristics of the general population residing in the same geographic area where the callers reside. If HUD can conclude that the users have primarily consisted of low- and moderate- income persons, no further submission is needed by the recipient. If a recipient plans to make other submissions for this purpose, it may request that HUD review its planned methodology before expending the effort to acquire the information it expects to use to make its case; (C) Demonstrate that other Federal funds received by the recipient are insufficient or unavailable for a uniform emergency telephone number system. For this purpose, the recipient must submit a statement explaining whether the lack of funds is due to the insufficiency of the amount of the available funds, restrictions on the use of such funds, or the prior commitment of funds by the recipient for other purposes; and (D) Demonstrate that the percentage of the total costs of the system paid for by CDBG funds does not exceed the percentage of low- and moderate-income persons in the service area of the system. For this purpose, the recipient must include a description of the boundaries of the service area of the emergency telephone number system, the census divisions that fall within the boundaries of the service area (census tracts or block numbering areas), the total number of persons and the total number of low- and moderate-income persons within each census division, the percentage of low- and moderate-income persons within the service area, and the total cost of the system. (iv) An activity for which the assistance to a public improvement that provides benefits to all the residents of an area is limited to paying special assessments (as defined in §570.200(c)) levied against residential properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income. (v) For purposes of determining qualification under this criterion, activities of the same type that serve different areas will be considered separately on the basis of their individual service area. (vi) In determining whether there is a sufficiently large percentage of low- and moderate-income persons residing in the area served by an activity to qualify under paragraph (a)(1) (i), (ii), or (vii) of this section, the most recently available decennial census information must be used to the fullest extent feasible, together with the Section 8 income limits that would have applied at the Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 20 of 37 time the income information was collected by the Census Bureau. Recipients that believe that the census data does not reflect current relative income levels in an area, or where census boundaries do not coincide sufficiently well with the service area of an activity, may conduct (or have conducted) a current survey of the residents of the area to determine the percent of such persons that are low and moderate income. HUD will accept information obtained through such surveys, to be used in lieu of the decennial census data, where it determines that the survey was conducted in such a manner that the results meet standards of statistical reliability that are comparable to that of the decennial census data for areas of similar size. Where there is substantial evidence that provides a clear basis to believe that the use of the decennial census data would substantially overstate the proportion of persons residing there that are low and moderate income, HUD may require that the recipient rebut such evidence in order to demonstrate compliance with section 105(c)(2) of the Act. (vii) Activities meeting the requirements of paragraph (d)(5)(i) of this section may be considered to qualify under this paragraph, provided that the area covered by the strategy is either a Federally-designated Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community or primarily residential and contains a percentage of low- and moderate-income residents that is no less than the percentage computed by HUD pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section or 70 percent, whichever is less, but in no event less than 51 percent. Activities meeting the requirements of paragraph (d)(6)(i) of this section may also be considered to qualify under paragraph (a)(1) of this section. (2) Limited clientele activities. (i) An activity which benefits a limited clientele, at least 51 percent of whom are low- or moderate-income persons. (The following kinds of activities may not qualify under paragraph (a)(2) of this section: activities, the benefits of which are available to all the residents of an area; activities involving the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of property for housing; or activities where the benefit to low- and moderate-income persons to be considered is the creation or retention of jobs, except as provided in paragraph (a)(2)(iv) of this section.) To qualify under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, the activity must meet one of the following tests: (A) Benefit a clientele who are generally presumed to be principally low and moderate-income persons. Activities that exclusively serve a group of persons in any one or a combination of the following categories may be presumed to benefit persons, 51 percent of whom are low- and moderate-income: abused children, battered spouses, elderly persons, adults meeting the Bureau of the Census' Current Population Reports definition of “severely disabled,” homeless persons, illiterate adults, persons living with AIDS, and migrant farm workers; or (B) Require information on family size and income so that it is evident that at least 51 percent of the clientele are persons whose family income does not exceed the low and moderate-income limit; or (C) Have income eligibility requirements which limit the activity exclusively to low and moderate-income persons; or (D) Be of such nature and be in such location that it may be concluded that the activity's clientele will primarily be low and moderate-income persons. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 21 of 37 (ii) An activity that serves to remove material or architectural barriers to the mobility or accessibility of elderly persons or of adults meeting the Bureau of the Census' Current Population Reports definition of “severely disabled” will be presumed to qualify under this criterion if it is restricted, to the extent practicable, to the removal of such barriers by assisting: (A) The reconstruction of a public facility or improvement, or portion thereof, that does not qualify under paragraph (a)(1) of this section; (B) The rehabilitation of a privately owned nonresidential building or improvement that does not qualify under paragraph (a)(1) or (4) of this section; or (C) The rehabilitation of the common areas of a residential structure that contains more than one dwelling unit and that does not qualify under paragraph (a)(3) of this section. (iii) A microenterprise assistance activity carried out in accordance with the provisions of §570.201(o) with respect to those owners of microenterprises and persons developing microenterprises assisted under the activity during each program year who are low- and moderate-income persons. For purposes of this paragraph, persons determined to be low and moderate income may be presumed to continue to qualify as such for up to a three-year period. (iv) An activity designed to provide job training and placement and/or other employment support services, including, but not limited to, peer support programs, counseling, child care, transportation, and other similar services, in which the percentage of low- and moderate-income persons assisted is less than 51 percent may qualify under this paragraph in the following limited circumstance: (A) In such cases where such training or provision of supportive services assists business(es), the only use of CDBG assistance for the project is to provide the job training and/or supportive services; and (B) The proportion of the total cost of the project borne by CDBG funds is no greater than the proportion of the total number of persons assisted who are low or moderate income. (3) Housing activities. An eligible activity carried out for the purpose of providing or improving permanent residential structures which, upon completion, will be occupied by low- and moderate-income households. This would include, but not necessarily be limited to, the acquisition or rehabilitation of property by the recipient, a subrecipient, a developer, an individual homebuyer, or an individual homeowner; conversion of nonresidential structures; and new housing construction. If the structure contains two dwelling units, at least one must be so occupied, and if the structure contains more than two dwelling units, at least 51 percent of the units must be so occupied. Where two or more rental buildings being assisted are or will be located on the same or contiguous properties, and the buildings will be under common ownership and management, the grouped buildings may be considered for this purpose as a single structure. Where housing activities being assisted meet the requirements of paragraph §570.208 (d)(5)(ii) or (d)(6)(ii) of this section, all such housing may also be considered for this purpose as a single structure. For rental housing, occupancy by low and moderate-income households must be at affordable rents to qualify under this criterion. The recipient shall adopt and make public its standards for determining “affordable rents” for this purpose. The following shall also qualify under this criterion: Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 22 of 37 (i) When less than 51 percent of the units in a structure will be occupied by low and moderate-income households, CDBG assistance may be provided in the following limited circumstances: (A) The assistance is for an eligible activity to reduce the development cost of the new construction of a multifamily, non-elderly rental housing project; (B) Not less than 20 percent of the units will be occupied by low and moderate-income households at affordable rents; and (C) The proportion of the total cost of developing the project to be borne by CDBG funds is no greater than the proportion of units in the project that will be occupied by low and moderate- income households. (ii) When CDBG funds are used to assist rehabilitation eligible under §570.202(b)(9) or (10) in direct support of the recipient's Rental Rehabilitation program authorized under 24 CFR part 511, such funds shall be considered to benefit low and moderate-income persons where not less than 51 percent of the units assisted, or to be assisted, by the recipient's Rental Rehabilitation program overall are for low and moderate-income persons. (iii) When CDBG funds are used for housing services eligible under §570.201(k), such funds shall be considered to benefit low- and moderate-income persons if the housing units for which the services are provided are HOME-assisted and the requirements at 24 CFR 92.252 or 92.254 are met. (4) Job creation or retention activities. An activity designed to create or retain permanent jobs where at least 51 percent of the jobs, computed on a full time equivalent basis, involve the employment of low- and moderate-income persons. To qualify under this paragraph, the activity must meet the following criteria: (i) For an activity that creates jobs, the recipient must document that at least 51 percent of the jobs will be held by, or will be available to, low- and moderate-income persons. (ii) For an activity that retains jobs, the recipient must document that the jobs would actually be lost without the CDBG assistance and that either or both of the following conditions apply with respect to at least 51 percent of the jobs at the time the CDBG assistance is provided: (A) The job is known to be held by a low- or moderate-income person; or (B) The job can reasonably be expected to turn over within the following two years and that steps will be taken to ensure that it will be filled by, or made available to, a low- or moderate- income person upon turnover. (iii) Jobs that are not held or filled by a low- or moderate-income person may be considered to be available to low- and moderate-income persons for these purposes only if: (A) Special skills that can only be acquired with substantial training or work experience or education beyond high school are not a prerequisite to fill such jobs, or the business agrees to hire unqualified persons and provide training; and Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 23 of 37 (B) The recipient and the assisted business take actions to ensure that low- and moderate- income persons receive first consideration for filling such jobs. (iv) For purposes of determining whether a job is held by or made available to a low- or moderate-income person, the person may be presumed to be a low- or moderate-income person if: (A) He/she resides within a census tract (or block numbering area) that either: (1) Meets the requirements of paragraph (a)(4)(v) of this section; or (2) Has at least 70 percent of its residents who are low- and moderate-income persons; or (B) The assisted business is located within a census tract (or block numbering area) that meets the requirements of paragraph (a)(4)(v) of this section and the job under consideration is to be located within that census tract. (v) A census tract (or block numbering area) qualifies for the presumptions permitted under paragraphs (a)(4)(iv)(A)(1) and (B) of this section if it is either part of a Federally-designated Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community or meets the following criteria: (A) It has a poverty rate of at least 20 percent as determined by the most recently available decennial census information; (B) It does not include any portion of a central business district, as this term is used in the most recent Census of Retail Trade, unless the tract has a poverty rate of at least 30 percent as determined by the most recently available decennial census information; and (C) It evidences pervasive poverty and general distress by meeting at least one of the following standards: (1) All block groups in the census tract have poverty rates of at least 20 percent; (2) The specific activity being undertaken is located in a block group that has a poverty rate of at least 20 percent; or (3) Upon the written request of the recipient, HUD determines that the census tract exhibits other objectively determinable signs of general distress such as high incidence of crime, narcotics use, homelessness, abandoned housing, and deteriorated infrastructure or substantial population decline. (vi) As a general rule, each assisted business shall be considered to be a separate activity for purposes of determining whether the activity qualifies under this paragraph, except: (A) In certain cases, such as where CDBG funds are used to acquire, develop or improve a real property (e.g., a business incubator or an industrial park) the requirement may be met by measuring jobs in the aggregate for all the businesses which locate on the property, provided such businesses are not otherwise assisted by CDBG funds. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 24 of 37 (B) Where CDBG funds are used to pay for the staff and overhead costs of an entity making loans to businesses exclusively from non-CDBG funds, this requirement may be met by aggregating the jobs created by all of the businesses receiving loans during each program year. (C) Where CDBG funds are used by a recipient or subrecipient to provide technical assistance to businesses, this requirement may be met by aggregating the jobs created or retained by all of the businesses receiving technical assistance during each program year. (D) Where CDBG funds are used for activities meeting the criteria listed at §570.209(b)(2)(v), this requirement may be met by aggregating the jobs created or retained by all businesses for which CDBG assistance is obligated for such activities during the program year, except as provided at paragraph (d)(7) of this section. (E) Where CDBG funds are used by a Community Development Financial Institution to carry out activities for the purpose of creating or retaining jobs, this requirement may be met by aggregating the jobs created or retained by all businesses for which CDBG assistance is obligated for such activities during the program year, except as provided at paragraph (d)(7) of this section. (F) Where CDBG funds are used for public facilities or improvements which will result in the creation or retention of jobs by more than one business, this requirement may be met by aggregating the jobs created or retained by all such businesses as a result of the public facility or improvement. (1) Where the public facility or improvement is undertaken principally for the benefit of one or more particular businesses, but where other businesses might also benefit from the assisted activity, the requirement may be met by aggregating only the jobs created or retained by those businesses for which the facility/improvement is principally undertaken, provided that the cost (in CDBG funds) for the facility/improvement is less than $10,000 per permanent full-time equivalent job to be created or retained by those businesses. (2) In any case where the cost per job to be created or retained (as determined under paragraph (a)(4)(vi)(F)(1) of this section) is $10,000 or more, the requirement must be met by aggregating the jobs created or retained as a result of the public facility or improvement by all businesses in the service area of the facility/improvement. This aggregation must include businesses which, as a result of the public facility/improvement, locate or expand in the service area of the facility/improvement between the date the recipient identifies the activity in its action plan under part 91 of this title and the date one year after the physical completion of the facility/improvement. In addition, the assisted activity must comply with the public benefit standards at §570.209(b). (b) Activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. Activities meeting one or more of the following criteria, in the absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, will be considered to aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight: (1) Activities to address slums or blight on an area basis. An activity will be considered to address prevention or elimination of slums or blight in an area if: Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 25 of 37 (i) The area, delineated by the recipient, meets a definition of a slum, blighted, deteriorated or deteriorating area under State or local law; (ii) The area also meets the conditions in either paragraph (A) or (B): (A) At least 25 percent of properties throughout the area experience one or more of the following conditions: (1) Physical deterioration of buildings or improvements; (2) Abandonment of properties; (3) Chronic high occupancy turnover rates or chronic high vacancy rates in commercial or industrial buildings; (4) Significant declines in property values or abnormally low property values relative to other areas in the community; or (5) Known or suspected environmental contamination. (B) The public improvements throughout the area are in a general state of deterioration. (iii) Documentation is to be maintained by the recipient on the boundaries of the area and the conditions and standards used that qualified the area at the time of its designation. The recipient shall establish definitions of the conditions listed at §570.208(b)(1)(ii)(A), and maintain records to substantiate how the area met the slums or blighted criteria. The designation of an area as slum or blighted under this section is required to be redetermined every 10 years for continued qualification. Documentation must be retained pursuant to the recordkeeping requirements contained at §570.506 (b)(8)(ii). (iv) The assisted activity addresses one or more of the conditions which contributed to the deterioration of the area. Rehabilitation of residential buildings carried out in an area meeting the above requirements will be considered to address the area's deterioration only where each such building rehabilitated is considered substandard under local definition before rehabilitation, and all deficiencies making a building substandard have been eliminated if less critical work on the building is undertaken. At a minimum, the local definition for this purpose must be such that buildings that it would render substandard would also fail to meet the housing quality standards for the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program-Existing Housing (24 CFR 882.109). (2) Activities to address slums or blight on a spot basis. The following activities may be undertaken on a spot basis to eliminate specific conditions of blight, physical decay, or environmental contamination that are not located in a slum or blighted area: acquisition; clearance; relocation; historic preservation; remediation of environmentally contaminated properties; or rehabilitation of buildings or improvements. However, rehabilitation must be limited to eliminating those conditions that are detrimental to public health and safety. If acquisition or relocation is undertaken, it must be a precursor to another eligible activity (funded with CDBG or other resources) that directly eliminates the specific conditions of blight or physical decay, or environmental contamination. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 26 of 37 (3) Activities to address slums or blight in an urban renewal area. An activity will be considered to address prevention or elimination of slums or blight in an urban renewal area if the activity is: (i) Located within an urban renewal project area or Neighborhood Development Program (NDP) action area; i.e., an area in which funded activities were authorized under an urban renewal Loan and Grant Agreement or an annual NDP Funding Agreement, pursuant to title I of the Housing Act of 1949; and (ii) Necessary to complete the urban renewal plan, as then in effect, including initial land redevelopment permitted by the plan. Note: Despite the restrictions in (b) (1) and (2) of this section, any rehabilitation activity which benefits low and moderate-income persons pursuant to paragraph (a)(3) of this section can be undertaken without regard to the area in which it is located or the extent or nature of rehabilitation assisted. (c) Activities designed to meet community development needs having a particular urgency. In the absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, an activity will be considered to address this objective if the recipient certifies that the activity is designed to alleviate existing conditions which pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community which are of recent origin or which recently became urgent, that the recipient is unable to finance the activity on its own, and that other sources of funding are not available. A condition will generally be considered to be of recent origin if it developed or became critical within 18 months preceding the certification by the recipient. (d) Additional criteria. (1) Where the assisted activity is acquisition of real property, a preliminary determination of whether the activity addresses a national objective may be based on the planned use of the property after acquisition. A final determination shall be based on the actual use of the property, excluding any short-term, temporary use. Where the acquisition is for the purpose of clearance which will eliminate specific conditions of blight or physical decay, the clearance activity shall be considered the actual use of the property. However, any subsequent use or disposition of the cleared property shall be treated as a “change of use” under §570.505. (2) Where the assisted activity is relocation assistance that the recipient is required to provide, such relocation assistance shall be considered to address the same national objective as is addressed by the displacing activity. Where the relocation assistance is voluntary on the part of the grantee the recipient may qualify the assistance either on the basis of the national objective addressed by the displacing activity or on the basis that the recipients of the relocation assistance are low and moderate-income persons. (3) In any case where the activity undertaken for the purpose of creating or retaining jobs is a public improvement and the area served is primarily residential, the activity must meet the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section as well as those of paragraph (a)(4) of this section in order to qualify as benefiting low and moderate-income persons. (4) CDBG funds expended for planning and administrative costs under §570.205 and §570.206 will be considered to address the national objectives. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit B Page 27 of 37 (5) Where the grantee has elected to prepare an area revitalization strategy pursuant to the authority of §91.215(e) of this title and HUD has approved the strategy, the grantee may also elect the following options: (i) Activities undertaken pursuant to the strategy for the purpose of creating or retaining jobs may, at the option of the grantee, be considered to meet the requirements of this paragraph under the criteria at paragraph (a)(1)(vii) of this section in lieu of the criteria at paragraph (a)(4) of this section; and (ii) All housing activities in the area for which, pursuant to the strategy, CDBG assistance is obligated during the program year may be considered to be a single structure for purposes of applying the criteria at paragraph (a)(3) of this section. (6) Where CDBG-assisted activities are carried out by a Community Development Financial Institution whose charter limits its investment area to a primarily residential area consisting of at least 51 percent low- and moderate-income persons, the grantee may also elect the following options: (i) Activities carried out by the Community Development Financial Institution for the purpose of creating or retaining jobs may, at the option of the grantee, be considered to meet the requirements of this paragraph under the criteria at paragraph (a)(1)(vii) of this section in lieu of the criteria at paragraph (a)(4) of this section; and (ii) All housing activities for which the Community Development Financial Institution obligates CDBG assistance during the program year may be considered to be a single structure for purposes of applying the criteria at paragraph (a)(3) of this section. (7) Where an activity meeting the criteria at §570.209(b)(2)(v) may also meet the requirements of either paragraph (d)(5)(i) or (d)(6)(i) of this section, the grantee may elect to qualify the activity under either the area benefit criteria at paragraph (a)(1)(vii) of this section or the job aggregation criteria at paragraph (a)(4)(vi)(D) of this section, but not both. Where an activity may meet the job aggregation criteria at both paragraphs (a)(4)(vi)(D) and (E) of this section, the grantee may elect to qualify the activity under either criterion, but not both. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit C Page 28 of 37 EXHIBIT C TO SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT Subpart K—Other Program Requirements §570.600 General. (a) This subpart K enumerates laws that the Secretary will treat as applicable to grants made under section 106 of the Act, other than grants to states made pursuant to section 106(d) of the Act, for purposes of the Secretary's determinations under section 104(e)(1) of the Act, including statutes expressly made applicable by the Act and certain other statutes and Executive Orders for which the Secretary has enforcement responsibility. This subpart K applies to grants made under the Insular Areas Program in §570.405 and §570.440 with the exception of §570.612. The absence of mention herein of any other statute for which the Secretary does not have direct enforcement responsibility is not intended to be taken as an indication that, in the Secretary's opinion, such statute or Executive Order is not applicable to activities assisted under the Act. For laws that the Secretary will treat as applicable to grants made to states under section 106(d) of the Act for purposes of the determination required to be made by the Secretary pursuant to section 104(e)(2) of the Act, see §570.487. (b) This subpart also sets forth certain additional program requirements which the Secretary has determined to be applicable to grants provided under the Act as a matter of administrative discretion. (c) In addition to grants made pursuant to section 106(b) and 106(d)(2)(B) of the Act (subparts D and F, respectively), the requirements of this subpart K are applicable to grants made pursuant to sections 107 and 119 of the Act (subparts E and G, respectively), and to loans guaranteed pursuant to subpart M. [53 FR 34456, Sept. 6, 1988, as amended at 61 FR 11477, Mar. 20, 1996; 72 FR 12536, Mar. 15, 2007] §570.601 Public Law 88-352 and Public Law 90-284; affirmatively furthering fair housing; Executive Order 11063. (a) The following requirements apply according to sections 104(b) and 107 of the Act: (1) Public Law 88-352, which is title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.), and implementing regulations in 24 CFR part 1. (2) Public Law 90-284, which is the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-3620). In accordance with the Fair Housing Act, the Secretary requires that grantees administer all programs and activities related to housing and urban development in a manner to affirmatively further the policies of the Fair Housing Act. Furthermore, in accordance with section 104(b)(2) of the Act, for each community receiving a grant under subpart D of this part, the certification that the grantee will affirmatively further fair housing shall specifically require the grantee to take meaningful actions to further the goals identified in the Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit C Page 29 of 37 grantee's AFH conducted in accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 5.150 through 5.180 and take no action that is materially inconsistent with its obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. (b) Executive Order 11063, as amended by Executive Order 12259 (3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 652; 3 CFR, 1980 Comp., p. 307) (Equal Opportunity in Housing), and implementing regulations in 24 CFR part 107, also apply. [61 FR 11477, Mar. 20, 1996, as amended at 80 FR 42368, July 16, 2015] §570.602 Section 109 of the Act. Section 109 of the Act requires that no person in the United States shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, religion, or sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance made available pursuant to the Act. Section 109 also directs that the prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of age under the Age Discrimination Act and the prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of disability under Section 504 shall apply to programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance under Title I programs. The policies and procedures necessary to ensure enforcement of section 109 are codified in 24 CFR part 6. [64 FR 3802, Jan. 25, 1999] §570.603 Labor standards. (a) Section 110(a) of the Act contains labor standards that apply to nonvolunteer labor financed in whole or in part with assistance received under the Act. In accordance with section 110(a) of the Act, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327 et seq.) also applies. However, these requirements apply to the rehabilitation of residential property only if such property contains not less than 8 units. (b) The regulations in 24 CFR part 70 apply to the use of volunteers. [61 FR 11477, Mar. 20, 1996] §570.604 Environmental standards. For purposes of section 104(g) of the Act, the regulations in 24 CFR part 58 specify the other provisions of law which further the purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and the procedures by which grantees must fulfill their environmental responsibilities. In certain cases, grantees assume these environmental review, decision- making, and action responsibilities by execution of grant agreements with the Secretary. [61 FR 11477, Mar. 20, 1996] Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit C Page 30 of 37 §570.605 National Flood Insurance Program. Notwithstanding the date of HUD approval of the recipient's application (or, in the case of grants made under subpart D of this part or HUD-administered small cities recipients in Hawaii, the date of submission of the grantee's consolidated plan, in accordance with 24 CFR part 91), section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 4106) and the regulations in 44 CFR parts 59 through 79 apply to funds provided under this part 570. [61 FR 11477, Mar. 20, 1996] §570.606 Displacement, relocation, acquisition, and replacement of housing. (a) General policy for minimizing displacement. Consistent with the other goals and objectives of this part, grantees (or States or state recipients, as applicable) shall assure that they have taken all reasonable steps to minimize the displacement of persons (families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and farms) as a result of activities assisted under this part. (b) Relocation assistance for displaced persons at URA levels. (1) A displaced person shall be provided with relocation assistance at the levels described in, and in accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR part 24, which contains the government-wide regulations implementing the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA) (42 U.S.C. 4601-4655). (2) Displaced person. (i) For purposes of paragraph (b) of this section, the term “displaced person” means any person (family, individual, business, nonprofit organization, or farm) that moves from real property, or moves his or her personal property from real property, permanently and involuntarily, as a direct result of rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition for an activity assisted under this part. A permanent, involuntary move for an assisted activity includes a permanent move from real property that is made: (A) After notice by the grantee (or the state recipient, if applicable) to move permanently from the property, if the move occurs after the initial official submission to HUD (or the State, as applicable) for grant, loan, or loan guarantee funds under this part that are later provided or granted. (B) After notice by the property owner to move permanently from the property, if the move occurs after the date of the submission of a request for financial assistance by the property owner (or person in control of the site) that is later approved for the requested activity. (C) Before the date described in paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A) or (B) of this section, if either HUD or the grantee (or State, as applicable) determines that the displacement directly resulted from acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the requested activity. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit C Page 31 of 37 (D) After the “initiation of negotiations” if the person is the tenant-occupant of a dwelling unit and any one of the following three situations occurs: (1) The tenant has not been provided with a reasonable opportunity to lease and occupy a suitable decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling in the same building/complex upon the completion of the project, including a monthly rent that does not exceed the greater of the tenant's monthly rent and estimated average utility costs before the initiation of negotiations or 30 percent of the household's average monthly gross income; or (2) The tenant is required to relocate temporarily for the activity but the tenant is not offered payment for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the temporary relocation, including the cost of moving to and from the temporary location and any increased housing costs, or other conditions of the temporary relocation are not reasonable; and the tenant does not return to the building/complex; or (3) The tenant is required to move to another unit in the building/complex, but is not offered reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the move. (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section, the term “displaced person-” does not include: (A) A person who is evicted for cause based upon serious or repeated violations of material terms of the lease or occupancy agreement. To exclude a person on this basis, the grantee (or State or state recipient, as applicable) must determine that the eviction was not undertaken for the purpose of evading the obligation to provide relocation assistance under this section; (B) A person who moves into the property after the date of the notice described in paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A) or (B) of this section, but who received a written notice of the expected displacement before occupancy. (C) A person who is not displaced as described in 49 CFR 24.2(g)(2). (D) A person who the grantee (or State, as applicable) determines is not displaced as a direct result of the acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for an assisted activity. To exclude a person on this basis, HUD must concur in that determination. (iii) A grantee (or State or state recipient, as applicable) may, at any time, request HUD to determine whether a person is a displaced person under this section. (3) Initiation of negotiations. For purposes of determining the type of replacement housing assistance to be provided under paragraph (b) of this section, if the displacement is the direct result of privately undertaken rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition of real property, the term “initiation of negotiations” means the execution of the grant or loan agreement between the grantee (or State or state recipient, as applicable) and the person owning or controlling the real property. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit C Page 32 of 37 (c) Residential antidisplacement and relocation assistance plan. The grantee shall comply with the requirements of 24 CFR part 42, subpart B. (d) Optional relocation assistance. Under section 105(a)(11) of the Act, the grantee may provide (or the State may permit the state recipient to provide, as applicable) relocation payments and other relocation assistance to persons displaced by activities that are not subject to paragraph (b) or (c) of this section. The grantee may also provide (or the State may also permit the state recipient to provide, as applicable) relocation assistance to persons receiving assistance under paragraphs (b) or (c) of this section at levels in excess of those required by these paragraphs. Unless such assistance is provided under State or local law, the grantee (or state recipient, as applicable) shall provide such assistance only upon the basis of a written determination that the assistance is appropriate (see, e.g., 24 CFR 570.201(i), as applicable). The grantee (or state recipient, as applicable) must adopt a written policy available to the public that describes the relocation assistance that the grantee (or state recipient, as applicable) has elected to provide and that provides for equal relocation assistance within each class of displaced persons. (e) Acquisition of real property. The acquisition of real property for an assisted activity is subject to 49 CFR part 24, subpart B. (f) Appeals. If a person disagrees with the determination of the grantee (or the state recipient, as applicable) concerning the person's eligibility for, or the amount of, a relocation payment under this section, the person may file a written appeal of that determination with the grantee (or state recipient, as applicable). The appeal procedures to be followed are described in 49 CFR 24.10. In addition, a low- or moderate-income household that has been displaced from a dwelling may file a written request for review of the grantee's decision to the HUD Field Office. For purposes of the State CDBG program, a low- or moderate-income household may file a written request for review of the state recipient's decision with the State. (g) Responsibility of grantee or State. (1) The grantee (or State, if applicable) is responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of this section, notwithstanding any third party's contractual obligation to the grantee to comply with the provisions of this section. For purposes of the State CDBG program, the State shall require state recipients to certify that they will comply with the requirements of this section. (2) The cost of assistance required under this section may be paid from local public funds, funds provided under this part, or funds available from other sources. (3) The grantee (or State and state recipient, as applicable) must maintain records in sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this section.

Purpose. This policy establishes procedures for the administration and utilization of program income received as a result of activities funded under the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This policy addresses the requirements of 24 CFR 570.489(e)(3). The Dakota County Community Development Agency is hereinafter referred to as the "Subgrantee", and each cooperating jurisdiction is hereinafter referred to as a "Subrecipient". B. Definition. Program income is the gross income received by the Subgrantee that was generated from the use of CDBG funds. For activities generating program income that were only partially funded with CDBG funds, such income is prorated to reflect the actual percentage of CDBG funds used. Examples of program income include: • Payments of principal and interest on loans made using CDBG funds; • Net proceeds from the disposition by sale or long-term lease of real property purchased or improved with CDBG funds; • And interest earned on funds held in a revolving fund account. C. Activities. Program income in Dakota County will only be used for eligible CDBG activities that meet a national objective as specified in 24 CFR 570.482 and 570.483. D. Distribution. Program income in Dakota County will be classified and distributed within one of two general types of accounts: • Revolving Fund (RF) Account • Non-revolving Income (NI) Account The RF Accounts are typically established for ongoing program activity, such as housing rehab or economic development. The NI Accounts are established from non-revolving program income, such as funds from land disposition or repayments from land acquisition that doesn't result in a low/moderate income activity. E. Revoking Fund Account. Dakota County CDA will deposit program income from either housing rehab, economic development or down payment assistance that is administered by the Subgrantee into corresponding Revolving Fund (RF) Accounts as follows: 1. Program income generated from CDBG funds allocated to a Subrecipient will be deposited into a separate RF Account for that same individual Subrecipient; or 2. Program income generated from CDBG funds allocated to a countywide activity will be deposited into a separate corresponding "Countywide" RF Account. 3. Check and/or reimbursement requests related to an activity assigned to a RF Account will be drawn first from that account prior to an entitlement account. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit E Page 35 of 37 Subrecipients also have the ability to establish Revolving Fund Accounts for local CDBG activities upon written approval of the Subgrantee. These accounts will require formal reporting during each fiscal year as required by the Subgrantee. F. Non-revolving Income Account. Dakota County will deposit all program income that is not assigned to a Revolving Fund Account to a Non-revolving Income (NI) Account as follows: 1. Program income generated from CDBG funds allocated to a Subrecipient will be returned immediately to the Subgrantee, which will be deposited into one corresponding Subrecipient NI Account (i.e., Burnsville NI Account). Check and/or reimbursement requests from a Subrecipient that cannot be paid from a RF Account will first be drawn from a NF Account, if existing, prior to drawing funds from an entitlement account. 2. Program income generated from CDBG funds allocated to a Subgrantee countywide activity will be deposited into one Subgrantee NI Account (i.e., CDA NI Account). Check and/or reimbursement requests related to a county-wide activity that cannot be paid from a RF Account will first be drawn from a NI Account, if existing, prior to drawing funds from a county- wide entitlement account. 3. The Subrecipient or Subgrantee retains the option of amending an existing CDBG activity (or activities) to increase its budget equal to the amount of program income within its NI Account, or it can amend the county's Annual Action Plan to include a new CDBG-eligible activity. 4. If no draws are made from a Subrecipient’s NI Account within twelve (12) months of establishing that account, it may be transferred to a Subgrantee NI Account for distribution to eligible countywide activities. G. Account Dissolution. Dissolving either Revolving Fund or Non-revolving Income Accounts shall be completed as follows: 1. A Subrecipient's RF Account may be dissolved if that account will receive no further income based on evidence from the Subrecipient or Subgrantee. The Subrecipient must submit a written request to the Subgrantee prior to final dissolution action. CDBG funds remaining in a Subrecipient's RF Account to be dissolved must be transferred to a new or existing NI Account of that same Subrecipient. 2. A Subgrantee's RF Account may be dissolved if that account will receive no further income based on evidence from the Subgrantee. CDBG funds remaining in the Subgrantee's RF Account to be dissolved must be transferred to a new or existing NI Account of the Subgrantee. 3. In some cases, a Subrecipient or Subgrantee may want to transfer fund balances from a RF Account that is still receiving income. If no further expenditures are planned for that activity, a partial transfer may be permitted. Subrecipients must submit a written request to the Subgrantee, including the requested amount of transfer, which will go from its RF Account to its existing or newly created NI Account. 4. A Subrecipient's NI Account may be dissolved based on Section F.4. of this Policy. Adopted by the Dakota County CDA Board on April 13, 2004. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit F Page 36 of 37 EXHIBIT F TO SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT CDBG CONTINGENCY PLAN TIMELINESS OF EXPENDITURES Dakota County, Minnesota The following plan was developed in order to spend Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in a timely manner. HUD reviews the performance of Dakota County as an entitlement urban county each year. Sixty (60) days prior to the end of a grantee’s program year, the amount of non-disbursed CDBG funds cannot be more than 1.5 times the entitlement grant for its current program year. The 60-day time for Dakota County is May 2. A contingency plan is beneficial in order to assess whether this county can make efforts to spend CDBG funds if early indications show expenditure problems within any of the larger cities’ pool or the countywide pool of activities. The following steps should be taken in the order shown during a program year for Dakota County, which is July 1 through June 30: 1. Six-Month Review. By November 1, CDA staff will do the following: • Identify each Subrecipient’s balance of unspent CDBG funds. o A notice should be sent to each Subrecipient that shows an individual listing of unfinished activities and corresponding fund balances. • Meet individually with each Subrecipient, as deemed necessary, to discuss timely expenditure issues. • Provide a status report to all Subrecipients on the countywide and individual city revolving accounts for housing rehab (including a forecast of program income for the next six months). 2. Four-Month Review. By January 1, CDA staff will do the following: • Make a preliminary determination whether a Subrecipient will meet its own timeliness ratio of 1.5 by May 1. • Make a determination on how much rehab funding will remain unspent by May 1. These conclusions will be shared with the Subrecipient as a basis for possible reallocation of funds. • Initiate amendments to the annual Action Plan for Dakota County in order to reallocate CDBG funding to activities that can spend those funds by May 1. o The plan amendment will be based on the following: (a) Written approval from the Subrecipient that will transfer CDBG funds from its allocation to another city or countywide activity; and (b) Written verification, including an activity timeline, from the recipient of any reallocated funding that the additional CDBG funds can be spent and reimbursement submitted by April 15. Lakeville Subrecipient Agreement Exhibit F Page 37 of 37 Transfer of CDBG Funds Should a jurisdiction not be able to meet the timeliness requirement, the transferring of CDBG funds from one activity to another will be accomplished according to the following procedures: • Transfer funds from one activity to another within a jurisdiction (city or township); • Transfer funds from a countywide activity to another countywide activity; or • Transfer funds from one jurisdiction to another jurisdiction, including to or from the countywide pool. The combined impact of the transfer options must attain an expenditure rate at or below 1.5 by May 2 for Dakota County. If this can be achieved by implementing one or both of the first two options, then the final option will not be needed. However, if all three options need to be implemented, then some jurisdictions will lose the one-time specified amount, not to be replaced and some will gain one-time funds in order to avoid HUD penalties imposed on the county. It is possible that a jurisdiction will have more than 1.5 times its current CDBG allocation unspent by January 1, and yet, it will not agree to transfer funds to another activity. Under that circumstance, the CDA reserves the right to take steps necessary to transfer funds in excess of the 1.5 ratio. 5. Two-Month Review. By March 1, the CDA will determine whether any further amendments are necessary to transfer CDBG funds. This may be necessary to accommodate a new activity that was recently identified for immediate expenditure (assuming CDBG eligibility). 6. One-Month Review. By April 1, the CDA will do a final check to ensure all cities are working towards completion of all activity expenditures that are pending within the May 1 timeframe. Reimbursement requests should be submitted to the CDA no later than April 15.
