The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. 4—Citizens to be Heard re Items Not the Agenda: None. 5— FY 2014-15 Consolidated Planning Process Overview See: Exhibit FY 2014-2015 Consolidated Plan Schedule 2014-02-11 Housing Manager Michael Holmes said the City anticipated no change to CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding levels. Some program income is anticipated. He reviewed the FY (Fiscal Year) 2014/15 Consolidated Planning schedule and current process, including advertising methods. Information re TRC (Technical Review Committee) membership will be provided. It was stated that TRC members rate applications individually before meeting together and establishing rankings. The City reviews agencies' past performances independently from the TRC. It was suggested that TRC members attend the April 22, 2014 NAHAB meeting when applicants present their requests. Member Cutkomp moved that the Technical Review Committee optimally have 5 members, with a minimum of 4. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Discussion ensued regarding benefits of bidder conference attendance. Member Adelson moved that bidder conference attendance by Consolidated Planning applicants continue to be mandatory. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Consensus supported the Consolidated Plan Schedule time line. Neighborhood & Affordable Housing 2014-02-11 1 6 — FY 2014-15 Consolidated Annual Plan Amendment Discussion (Application, Ranking and Performance Measures) See: Exhibit FY 2013-2014 CAP Application 2014-02-11 Exhibit FY 2013-2014 Ranking Form 2014-02-11 Economic Development& Housing Director Geri Campos Lopez and Mr. Holmes distributed the City's 5-year plan and reviewed City progress in meeting plan goals. Ms. Campos Lopez said administering small grants of$5,000 to $6,000 to 12 organizations puts pressure on staff and suggested modifying the program to award top ranked agencies a greater percentage of funds. Consensus was to retain the formula that distributes grant money to a wide range of agencies. It was recommended that grant money be used to help programs rather than augmenting large CEO salaries. Support was expressed for funding case manager salaries 6.1. Public Service Amendments Discussion ensued re homebuyer counseling; currently only counseling for home purchasers was funded. Support for funding also was expressed for counseling recent home purchasers re foreclosure prevention. It was recommended that one agency be tasked with providing homebuyer counseling. Jerry Spilatro, Executive Director of CSF (Community Service Foundation), said local reimbursement for homebuyer counseling was $70. He recommended pooling funds rather than limiting services to one agency, which may not always offer convenient times. Mr. Holmes said HUD (Housing & Urban Development) Department's website has information re purchasing a home. it was indicated that HUD required 8 hours of face to face counseling to qualify for downpayment assistance as applicants have many questions specific to each situation. Member Hughes moved to set aside $7,000 of Consolidated Plan Public Service funds in a pool for homebuyer prepurchase counseling at $70 each. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. In response to a question, Mr. Holmes said HUD determined that UNO had not falsified its application. The City cannot discriminate against UNO when determining which programs to fund with HUD resources. Ms. Campos Lopez reviewed the formula currently used to distribute Public Service funds. The City encouraged recipients to leverage grants for additional funding. Consensus was for the formula to remain unchanged. Ms. Campos Lopez said staff will verify that formula point allocations were balanced appropriately to meet City Consolidated Plan goals. Neighborhood & Affordable Housing 2014-02-11 2 Kathy Russell of POC (Pinellas Opportunity Council) Chore Program requested that the formula recognize that her program prevents homelessness. 6,2. Public Facilities Amendments Mr. Holmes said State and Federal public facility funding was drying up and recommended limiting the size of future requests; it was unlikely the City could provide $300,000 for future public facility projects. Ms. Campos Lopez said limiting the size of requests would free funds for rehabilitation; the City was short of meeting its rehab goal. Member Potts moved to budget $200,000 for Public Facilities and limit application requests to $50,000 per agency. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. 6.3. Housing Pool Amendments Mr. Holmes said money from the Housing Pool, funded by HOME, was distributed on a first -come first - served basis. Consensus was to make no changes to the Housing Pool. 7 — FY 2014 -15 Consolidated Annual Plan Schedule - See Item 5 8 — Vice Chair Election Member Hughes moved to appoint Michael Potts as Vice Chair.
