Need for Plan Governing Reuse of Program Income. This Reuse Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements specified in Federal statute and regulation at Section 104 Q) of the Housing and Community Development Act ("the Act"), as amended in 1992 and 24 CFR 570.489 (e) (3). These statutory and regulatory sections permit a unit of local government to retain program income for CDBG-eligible community development activities. Under federal guidelines adopted by the State of California's CDBG program, local governments are permitted to retain program income so long as the local government has received advance approval from the state of a local plan that will govern the expenditure of the program income. This plan has been developed to meet that requirement. -- Program Income Defined. Program Income is defined in federal regulation at 24 CFR 570.489 (e) which specify that program income is the gross income received by the jurisdiction that has been directly generated from the use of CDBG funds. (For those program income -generating activities that are only partially funded with CDBG funds, such income is prorated to reflect the actual percentage of CDBG participation). Examples of program income include: payments of principal and interest on housing rehabilitation or business loans made using CDBG funds; interest earned on program income pending its disposition, and interest earned on funds that have been placed in a revolving loan account; net proceeds from the disposition by sale or long-term lease of real property purchased or improved with CDBG funds; income (net of costs that are incidental to the generation of the income) from the use or rental of real property that has been acquired, constructed or improved with CDBG funds and that is owned (in whole or in part) by the participating jurisdiction or subrecipient. If the total amount of income generated from the use of CDBG funds (and retained by the City) during a single program year (July 1 through June 30) is less than $25,000, then these funds shall not be deemed to be program income and shall not be subject to these polices and procedures. However, Quarterly and Annual Program Income Reports must be submitted regardless of whether the $25,000 threshold is reached or not. _ Portfolio Management Costs. Costs of managing the portfolio of CDBG and HOME - funded loans may be charged to PI under general administration or activity delivery within the allowable limits set by HCD. - 1 - EXHIBIT A EXHIBIT A General Administration (GA) Cost Limitation. Up to eighteen percent (18%) of the total program income expended on all activities during a single program year may be used for CDBG general administration expenses. Reuses of Program Income. Program income must be: a) disbursed for an activity funded under an open grant prior to drawing down additional Federal funds; b) forwarded to the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development (Department); or c) distributed to one or more Revolving Loan Accounts according to this Program Income Reuse Plan after adoption of the plan by the City jurisdiction and approval by the Department. The Reuse Plan shall be adopted by the local governing body only after compliance with the City's citizen participation process as specified in Federal Regulations at 24 CFR 570.486, Local Government Requirements. The City reserves the option of utilizing program income to fund/augment a CDBG funded activity included in a grant agreement. In order to exercise this option the City must first follow the citizen participation process, hold a public hearing, obtain a governing body resolution, and obtain approval from the State CDBG Program. Planning Activities. The City reserves the option of utilizing program income, within the 18 percent general administration annual cap, to fund planning for CDBG-eligible activities. Such planning activities may include: cash match for a State CDBG Planning and Technical Assistance Grant; environmental reviews or other studies necessary for -- CDBG-eligible projects or programs; or application preparation for CDBG or other grants/loans to supplement funding for CDBG-eligible activities. The costs of such planning activities may be charged to an RLA if the planning is for the same activity as the RLA. Otherwise, PI may only be expended on planning activities in conjunction with an open CDBG Planning and Technical Assistance grant. Distribution for Reuse of Program Income. The City's program income that has not been committed to open grant activities will be distributed, as follows: One revolving loan account (RLA) is established to utilize the program income. The allocation to the RLA is as follows: a) One hundred percent (100 percent) of all program income will be deposited into the Housing Rehabilitation Revolving Loan Account. Funds shall not be transferred to an open grant activity without conducting a properly noticed CDBG Citizen Participation public hearing. However, the transfer of program income to grant -funded activities during the program year in the aggregate amount of $5,000 or less will not be subject to the citizen participation requirement to hold a properly noticed public hearing. Reporting and Federal Overlay Compliance. - 2 - EXHIBIT A The City shall comply with all State CDBG reporting requirements, including submittal of a single annual Grantee Performance Report that reports on all of the City's RLAs, and the required Quarterly and Annual Program Income Reports, which shows combined PI receipts and actual PI expenditures for all RLAs and grants on one report (see chapter 10 of the CDBG Grant Management Manual for due dates). The City shall ensure that the use of program income under this Reuse Plan complies with all CDBG program requirements, including citizen participation, environmental review, equal opportunity, Section 3 employment, lead-based paint, labor standards, acquisition and relocation, procurement, property management, and maintenance of adequate accounting and recordkeeping systems. To ensure ongoing compliance with CDBG requirements, the City shall utilize the latest available State CDBG Program Grant Management Manual for guidance on compliance procedures and polices. The City shall obtain the Department's written approval before proceeding with any PI -funded activity. Maximum Funds in Revolving Loan Accounts. Program Income received by the RLA during the program year (July 1 through June 30) shall be substantially expended by the end of the program year (June 30). At any given time, the funding balance for the RLA should not exceed the typical cost of a single RLA project, plus reasonable administration costs (up to 18 percent of total expended costs). For example, if your average Housing Rehabilitation PI loan cost (including AD and GA) is $58,000, the balance of your Housing Rehabilitation RLA should not typically exceed this amount. Revising this plan. The City Council has the authority to amend this document with a properly noticed City Council meeting and approval by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Revolving Loan Accounts. The purposes and allowed uses of funds under the City's RLAs are. as follows: Housing Rehabilitation Revolving Loan Account. This fund will be principally used for the purpose of making loans to rehabilitate residential units occupied by households which have an annual income which is 80 percent (80 percent) or less of the county's median income. At least 51 percent of the funds expended for the activity funded under this RLA during the program year shall be used on revolving activities (i.e., loans). No more than 0 percent of the program income funds actually expended during the program year under this RLA shall be expended for housing rehabilitation grants. No more than 19 percent of the funds expended from this RLA shall be used for activity delivery costs. No more than eighteen percent of the total amount of PI expended annually may be expended for general administrative costs related to this RLA activity. In any event, the total expended for non - revolving activities (grants, activity delivery costs, and general administration) shall not exceed 49 percent of the total funds actually expended during the - 3 - EXHIBIT A program year (July 1 thru June 30). The review and funding of requests for CDBG loan or grant assistance under this RLA shall be conducted under the Owner -Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines that have been adopted by the City Council (Attachment A). All assistance provided for activities under this RLA shall be made for activities that are located within the City's jurisdiction. If the activities funded under the RLA are for the same activities as those funded under an open State CDBG grant agreement, then the funds available in this RLA shall be expended only in those areas of the City that are not included in the open grant. If the activities funded under the Revolving Loan Account are for the same activities as those funded under an open State CDBG grant agreement, then the program income funds will be drawn down prior to drawing down any grant activity funds. - 4 - EXHIBIT A
