Page 8 & 9 of the staff report which were made part of the AMENDMENTS TO 2017- agenda packet are the amendments that are proposed for the Consolidated Plan. 2021 CONSOLIDATED These amendments will respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The priority is to PLAN & CITIZEN reinvest in Downtown and existing neighborhoods. Staff would like to add to PARTICIPATION PLAN that section that the City would provide resources for microenterprise and small & 2019-2020 ANNUAL businesses to retain and/or create jobs for low-moderate income residents and ACTION PLAN business owners. The second priority is for Public Services for LMI Persons and Areas. Funds may be allocated to public services to assist low-moderate income persons and household impacted with employment changes and supplies, including subsistence payments for housing and utilities. Mr. Wright stated that the City will utilize CDBG-CV funds received through the CARES Act in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide assistance to microenterprises and small businesses for low-moderate income jobs retention and public services to assist low-moderate income persons and household impacted by employment losses or reductions. Priority Table Added “Other – CDBG-CV” to Source of Funds  Source: Public – Federal  Uses of Funds: Economic Development, Public Services  Expected Amount Available: $158,235  Narrative Description: CDBG-CV funds received through the CARES Act in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The City is recommending the allocation of $100,000 to be reinvested in microenterprise and small businesses. This amount would assist up to 20 businesses and create/retain 20 jobs, with up to $5,000 per business. Under Public Services the City is proposing $58,235 to asset the Community Services League, as they are the primary provider in Blue Springs for assistance payment with housing, food and utilities. The funding would help up to 250 households. A public notice was published on May 2, 2020 announcing the public hearing. The public hearing is also the official opening of the minimum 15-day public comment period. A final public comment period will be provided between May 16, 2020 and May 25, 2020 with a final public hearing being held by the City Council on June 1, 2020. Mr. Wright stated that the Citizen Participation Plan was adopted with the Consolidated Plan in August 2017. This would be the first set of amendments to that plan. On page 17 of the plan under the Citizen Participation Table, staff added some clarification that that table doesn’t apply to the review and allocation of these funds. This change was directed by HUD. Staff was directed to add a new Section G, “Urgent Needs.” This explains the expedited process to receive funds. CDBG Minutes – 05.14.2020 Page 2 of 4 kf  The City is proposing 20 loans up to $5,000 each for small businesses. This would require a qualify small business that has 5 or few employees, one employee has to be the owner, and the owner has to be low income, or if a small business with up to 15 employees, then the owner doesn’t have to be low income, but at least the majority of their employees do. There is quite a bit of documentation that is required by HUD for these loans. The City identified CSL early on in the process due to the number of people unemployed and the uncertainty of future employment for some households. CSL is also very good at reporting how funds are distributed. Ms. Chrisman provided the City with a letter that stated since the pandemic began CSL has seen at least a 200% increase in need throughout the city. They are up to 100 requests for assistance a week. Mr. Wright stated that there is a special provision that the normal 15% cap on public services funding has been removed for CDBG-CV funds. This would be a rare time to allow CSL more funding than the city normally could. QUESTIONS Councilmember Kent Edmondson asked how soon staff could have those business applications available. Mr. Wright stated that before they could release any applications staff would request Council approval on June 1st then that approval would be submitted to HUD for their review and approval. Mr. Wright stated that HUD has been extremely responsive through this process. Once HUD approves it, they will send a grant agreement for the Mayor to sign. Mr. Wright noted that there can’t be any duplication of benefits for these businesses. In other words, if a business applies and receives the funds then they can’t go to another source and request more funds. HUD will be monitoring this. Councilmember Galen Ericson asked if the plan could be approved without the numbers. Mr. Wright stated that he would recommend the Commission figure out the budget numbers first, then staff can tailor the wording to that amount. Chairperson Miller asked if the Commission could increase the microenterprise and small business assistance program from $100,000 to $125,000 to let more businesses have the availability to the additional funding. This may give those businesses the opportunity to add to their employee staff so that they won’t need CSL funds. Melodie Chrisman, Community Services League, stated that organizational wide they have seen a 400% increase in needs. What they normally serve in a month they have served in a week. This would be direct assistance for Blue Springs residents to go for their rent or utilities. Councilmember Edmondson stated that maybe if all of the business loans are not used the funds could be rolled over to CSL. Mr. Wright stated that HUD would like the funding to be as flexible as possible and open ended. Committee Member Susan Stokenbury stated that the goal is to get folks back to work. She stated that it’s a balancing act. HEARING CLOSED Chairperson Cindy Miller closed the public hearing at 6:58 p.m. CDBG Minutes – 05.14.2020 Page 3 of 4 kf MOTION Councilmember Kent Edmonson recommended approval of the Substantial Amendments to the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan & Citizen Participation Plan & 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan as presented by staff. SECOND Councilmember Galen Ericson. VOTE Galen Ericson – Aye Susan Stokenbury - Aye Kent Edmondson – Aye Jason Ellis - Aye Keith Hannaman – Aye Cindy Miller – Aye (APPROVED 6-Aye, 0-No) OTHER BUSINESS Chairperson Cindy Miller asked if she could change her vote. Karen Findora, Liaison stated that due to the fact it’s a public hearing, a roll call was conducted, and the vote was announced then there could not be any changes made to the vote. It is noted that Chairperson Miller would have rather voted no on the recommendation of the Substantial Amendments to the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan & Citizen Participation Plan & 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan. Mr. Wright stated that HUD has given Cities a one (1) year delay for their submittals of the Annual Action Plans if they so choose. Mr. Wright stated that the City would have a slight delay but would like to stay on as normal of a schedule as possible. Staff will have a hearing with this Committee in July/August and then forward it on to the Council to be heard at their September/October meeting. MEETING ADJOURN With no further discussion, a motion was made by Councilmember Galen Ericson to adjourn at 7:06 p.m. Seconded by Councilmember Kent Edmondson. _________________________ Respectfully Submitted by, Karen Findora, Recording Secretary ____________________________________ __________________________ Cindy Miller, Chairperson Date CDBG Minutes – 05.14.2020 Page 4 of 4 kf  Public Notice City of Blue Springs, Missouri Community Development Block Grant 2020-2021 CDBG Annual Action Plan The City of Blue Springs is beginning the process of developing the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan.

Published in The Examiner: Saturday, June 27, 2020 Posted in the City Hall lobby (currently closed to the public): Friday, June 26, 2020 Posted on the City’s website: Friday, June 26, 2020 Notices were not posted at the following locations due to closure or limited access due to COVID- 19 restrictions: Vesper Hall, Mid-Continent Public Library – Blue Springs North branch, & Mid- Continent Public Library – Blue Springs South branch DATE: July 9, 2020 TO: CDBG Advisory Committee FROM: Matt Wright, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan The purpose of the July 14, 2020 CDBG Advisory Committee is to begin the public input process in developing the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan. The following sections are intended to create a starting point for discussion: All projects and activities must meet one or more of the following approved goals from the 2017- 2021 Consolidated Plan (there are also 4 additional local goals and 15 regional goals related to the 2016 Assessment of Fair Housing, which may also be met through a project or activity): 1. Reinvest in Downtown and Existing Neighborhoods 2. Provide Assistance for First Time Home Buyers 3. Support Public Services for Low-Moderate Income Persons and Areas 4. Support Affordable and Accessible Housing 5. Support Administration & Planning The first item that needs to be addressed in the development of the Annual Action Plan is reviewing past programs and activities and determining which programs and activities to carry into the next program year. This is also the appropriate time to discuss any new programs or activities that could be considered for funding, including requests from community organizations and potential expansions of existing activities. A spreadsheet has been included that tracks how funds have been expended since 2006. At this time, the Committee should focus primarily on what activities to fund, and not the specific costs of each (staff will present a proposed budget at the August 6th meeting for input and consideration). A copy of the Approved 2019-2020 Action Strategy has also been included, which covers the projects and activities currently being funded. The City of Blue Springs has been allocated $268,985 for the 2020-21 program year. In addition to the 2020 allocation, there is also $92,970.12 from pre-2019 allocations that will need to be reallocated. Therefore, staff estimates that there will be approximately $361,955.12 to program for 2020-21. A map of the current Low-Moderate Income Census Block Groups has also been provided (changes became effective on April 1, 2019). These are areas where “Low/Moderate Area Benefit” activities may be approved. A map of the current Slum/Blight Area (MCRC Area) has also been provided. This area is where “Slum/Blight Area Benefit” activities may be approved. Activities and Objectives used by the City in the past, or those that may be of interest that have been discussed in the past, have been included at the end of the memo. The following are activities that staff is recommending maintaining for 2020-2021 with recommended changes noted for discussion:  Minor Home Repair Program o Reserving a portion of the funds to specifically address code violations (code violations that are issued later in the spring and summer have to wait until the fall-winter to apply – reserving these funds specifically for those needs may help resolve code violations sooner, which was the original intent of the program). o The remaining funds would be for a variety of exterior home improvements as well as HVAC and water heater replacements, however, staff is recommending the following changes:  Add a waiting period for repeat applicants to ensure that first-time applicants have an opportunity to apply and receive funding if eligible. This eliminates the previous first-come, first-serve application process for this program.  Remove all references to foundation repairs as this has created confusion, similar to driveways had in the past (which was removed from the program).  Limit cosmetic repairs and repairs not visible from the street (unless a health/safety concern – i.e. structural issues on rear decks, broken windows, rotted siding, etc.)  First Time Home Buyer Program  Fieldhouse Recreation Scholarships (public service)  Program Administration/Planning The following are activities that could be considered for 2020-2021 based on past approvals:  Downtown Façade Grant Program (Slum/Blight Area Benefit)  Park Improvements Program (LMI Area Benefit) – Blue Springs Park basketball court replacement (approx. $100,000)  Sidewalk Improvements Program (LMI Area Benefit) – specifically for ADA improvements The following are activities that could be considered for 2020-2021 based on Request for Funding Assistance received by staff:  Hope House – public service for domestic violence counseling - $12,240  Community Services League – subsistence payments - $25,000  Downtown Alive – administration costs as part of economic development in a designated slum/blight area - $25,000 Are there any other activities or programs that should be considered or further evaluated for CDBG eligibility? Staff recommends funding at least one significant ($75,000+) infrastructure project and public services to ensure that timeliness requirements are met. Both First Time Home Buyer and Minor Home Repair Programs can be unpredictable in the number of applications received and promptness of repairs which has resulted in having to make emergency substantial amendments or fail to meet timeliness and lose funding. Activities and Objectives used by the City in the past, or those that may be of interest that have been discussed in the past, include the following:  01: Acquisition of Property – acquisition of real property that will be developed for a public purpose (Slum/Blight Area Benefit).
