Fiscal Year 2020 — 2022 CDBG Program March 3, 2020 Page 7 1. Adoption of a two-year non-profit CDBG application cycle. This improvement creates more certainty for the City's non-profit partners in regards to their funding. 2. Approval to have an Ad Hoc Committee review and score the non-profit CDBG applications on behalf of the commission and make funding recommendations to the entire commission which will then be recommended by the commission to the City Council. 3. Directed staff to facilitate a study session of the City's funding priorities and strategic plan goals after the Five -Year Consolidated Plan is completed. Once the City receives the actual CDBG allocations for FY 2020-2021 and FY 2021-2022 from HUD, the approved CDBG public service allocation will be increased or decreased in proportion to the actual grant allocation. Should the increase in funding be enough to fund additional nonprofits at the minimum funding level, funds will be allocated to the next highest scoring organization(s). Any remainder will be distributed to already high performing organizations in proportion to their actual grant allocation. Next Steps: If the FY 2020-2021 CDBG Program Funding Plan is approved, staff will prepare and execute memorandums of understanding with various City departments (Exhibit 4) for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 and agreements with nonprofit organizations (Exhibit 5 and 6) for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022. All of the projects and programs are eligible for CDBG funding and are in alignment with the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan, Strategic Plan and Capital Improvement Program.
