<br />f. Are qrant distributions timelv? <br /> <br />No major delays in distribution of funds have been encountered. <br /> <br />g, Do actual expenditures differ substantiallv from letter of credit distribution? <br /> <br />Except for CDBG, IDIS does not allow the City to accrue expenses after the end of a <br />program year (June 30) even though the expense was incurred prior to June 30. This <br />characteristic of IDIS is inconsistent with established public sector accounting practices. <br />The City's Finance Department and Community Development Agency met on a regular <br />basis in an effort to ensure Letter of Credit balances and the City's books remain <br />reconciled. The City's Finance Department estimates that over $1 million remains to be <br />drawn via IDIS for eligible grant costs incurred during the 2004-2005 report period.13 <br /> <br />h.

Any adjustments and/or <br />improvements have been incorporated into the City's 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan. <br />Perhaps the most significant improvement to the Consolidated Plan process <br />incorporated into the 2005-2009 plan is the implementation of performance <br />management system that will ensure "outputs" and "outcomes" are measured and <br />evaluated for all HUD-funded activities. <br /> <br />13 The $1,001,287.90 figure is comprised of $777,154.95 in COBG, $209,765.89 in HOME, $13,333.88 in <br />HOPWA, and $1,033.24 in ESG funds. These funds were not drawn down through 10lS during the <br />program year, but are for eligible program costs incurred in the 2004-2005 report period. <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br />9/7/05 <br /> <br />190-34 <br />
