MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cathy Andrews, Redevelopment Coordinator
DATE: July 3, 2019
RE: Resolution for change in the CDBG Down Payment Assistance Program
SUMMARY: The CDBG Down Payment Assistance Program was created by
resolution in 2005 for increasing housing ownership opportunities for low income
individuals and families in the CDBG Target Area. The initial resolution stated that
it would be for homes developed by Habitat for Humanity and that qualifying
income be at or below 50% of the Family Median Income for the area. Since the
creation of City Fields, it has been found that an increase to 80% of the Family
Median Income would allow for more flexibility in the program.
COMMITTEE FINDINGS:
FISCAL ANALYSIS: The down payment assistance amount will not increase. It
will remain at $6,000.
RECOMMENDATION: This approval of said resolution is recommended by Cathy
Andrews, Redevelopment Coordinator.
- 14 -
RESOLUTION NO: 2019-63
WHEREAS, Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) are used to
serve individuals that are at or below 80% of Family Median Income or referred to
as Low to Moderate Income; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cleveland has partnered with HUD approved Community
Development entities to increase affordable housing in the CDBG target area; and
WHEREAS, Community Development Block Grant Program Down Payment
Assistance Program has been in existence since 2005; and
WHEREAS, the Down Payment Assistance Program currently serves individuals
not exceeding 50% of the Area Median Income purchasing affordable housing
constructed by HUD approved Community Development entities; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cleveland is increasing the limit from 50% MFI to 80%
MFI to allow for more flexibility in the DPA Program; and
WHEREAS, said Down Payment Assistance funding can be applied to the down
payment, closing costs and/or to reduce the principal balance of the loan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The City Council of the City of Cleveland hereby approves of the increase the
income limits from 50% MFI to 80% MFI Down Payment Assistance Program.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brian Moran, Assistant to the City Manager/Communications Coord.
DATE: 7/2/2019
RE: Apple Agreement
Summary:
Earlier this year Apple updated their policies that no longer allow third party companies
to publish and own apps on the customer's behalf for the iTunes Store. Qscend
Technologies, which developed the city's Cleveland at Your Service App, published and
maintained the city's app . The city's app was flagged for removal on iTunes since it
violated Apple's new App Developer policy.
This change does not affect users that have already downloaded the app and does not
affect the city's app in the Google Play Store.
For the city's app to appear on iTunes, the city must become a designated App Developer
and agree to Apple's Developer Agreement.
Committee Findings:
The current design is the final recommended by the committee.
Fiscal Analysis:
No impacts on the current fiscal year budget.
Recommendation:
City staff recommend approving the resolution authorizing the mayor to sign any contracts
and documents that will allow the city of Cleveland to become an official App Developer
to allow the city's app to be available for download on iTunes.

RESOLUTION NO: 2019-64
WHEREAS, the City has received the attached agreement from Apple, Inc., which agreement is
necessary if the City desires to continue using Apple's mobile request application which allows citizens
to provide alerts to the City of Cleveland; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to enter into this agreement with Apple, Inc. and to further
authorize the Mayor to execute this agreement on behalf of the City of Cleveland.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Cleveland, Tennessee, in
regular session assembled, that the City Council does hereby approve of the attached agreement
with Apple, Inc., and it further authorizes the Mayor to execute the same on behalf of the City of
Cleveland.

to you by Apple as an Apple Developer, in any unauthorized way, including but not limited to, by
trespass, burdening network capacity or using the Services, Site or Content other than for authorized
purposes. Copyright and other intellectual property laws protect the Site and Content provided to you,
and you agree to abide by and maintain all notices, license information, and restrictions contained
therein. Unless expressly permitted herein or otherwise permitted in a separate agreement with Apple,

of the Site, Content or Services. You may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or attempt to

as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as
may be permitted by any licensing terms accompanying the foregoing). Use of the Site, Content or

illegal activity, or to enable others to do so, is expressly prohibited. Apple retains ownership of all its
rights in the Site, Content, Apple Events and Services, and except as expressly set forth herein, no other

software, services, and/or hardware (including related documentation and materials) provided to you as
an Apple Developer ("Pre-Release Materials")and any information disclosed by Apple to you in
connection with Apple Events will be considered and referred to as "Apple Confidential Information".
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Apple Confidential Information will not include: (a) information that is
generally and legitimately available to the public through no fault or breach of yours; (b) information
that is generally made available to the public by Apple; (c) information that is independently developed
by you without the use of any Apple Confidential Information; (d) information that was rightfully
obtained from a third party who had the right to transfer or disclose it to you without limitation; or (e)
any third party software and/or documentation provided to you by Apple and accompanied by licensing

documentation. Further, Apple agrees that you will not be bound by the foregoing confidentiality terms
with regard to technical information about Apple pre-release software, services and/or hardware
disclosed by Apple at WWDC (Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference), except that you may not post
screen shots of, write public reviews of, or redistribute any such materials.
5. Nondisclosure and Nonuse of Apple Confidential Information. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed or permitted in writing by Apple, you agree not to disclose, publish, or disseminate any Apple

contractors working for the same entity as you and then only to the extent that Apple does not
otherwise prohibit such disclosure. Except for your authorized purposes as an Apple Developer or as
otherwise expressly agreed or permitted by Apple in writing, you agree not to use Apple Confidential
Information in any way, including, without limitation, for your own or any third party's benefit without
the prior written approval of an authorized representative of Apple in each instance. You further agree

court of competent jurisdiction to disclose Apple Confidential Information, you may make such
disclosure, but only if you have notified Apple before making such disclosure and have used

accompanying such materials in addition to Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall also govern your
use of the Pre-Release Materials. You further agree that in the event of any inconsistency between
Section 4 and 5 of this Agreement and the confidentiality restrictions in the license agreement, the
license agreement shall govern. You agree not to use the Pre-Release Materials for any purpose other
than testing and/or development by you of a product designed to operate in combination with the same

same entity as you, regardless of whether they are Apple Developers, unless otherwise expressly
permitted by Apple. Subject to these terms and conditions, Apple grants you a personal and

any rights in the Content. Apple and/or Apple's licensor(s) retain ownership of the Content itself and
any copies or portions thereof. The Content is licensed, not sold, to you by Apple for use only under this

Services will be in accordance with Apple's usage policies for such services, which are subject to change
from time to time, with or without prior notice to you. Without limiting the foregoing, Apple may post

form of phone calls and/or emails and may include, but not be limited to, membership information,
marketing materials, technical information, and updates and/or changes regarding your participation as
