I. Call to Order Graham called the meeting to order at 8:34 a.m. II. Changes to the Agenda None. III. Public Comment None. IV. Review of September 2020 Minutes Moved by Halpert, seconded by Farrell. ​Approved 4-0​. V. New Business A. Small Business Resiliency Fund 1  The Chair welcomed Tom Knipe, Deputy Director for Economic Development from the City of Ithaca. Knipe discussed the Small Business Resiliency Fund which was set up by the City and to which the IURA allocated​ CDBG funding​ and staff expertise (Nels Bohn) at the onset of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic and nationwide shutdown. Recipient businesses used the funds for a variety of purposes: paying overdue and current expenses, to give businesses “breathing room,”and to make changes to operations such as purchases of PPE or changes to how they provide services to customers. Knipe knows of one bankruptcy filing and one business storefront closure, but not among those 22 businesses funded by IURA’s contribution of funds. A total of 121 businesses were aided by the Small Business Resiliency Fund. Knipe shared the sense of gratitude to the local community that business owners shared with him. Loan forgiveness will be determined after 6 months of ongoing operation or December 1, 2020. The City will work with AFCU to determine the status of all recipients. Initial partners including the IURA, Community Foundation of Tompkins County, Cornell University, Tompkins County (Area) Development Corporation, and several smaller contributors raised approximately $390,000. The average size loan was $4,000. Most businesses requested $5,000 but the Committee recommended most loans be funded at $4,000 to maximize. Of 160 applications, 121 were funded. These applications were received in a 48 hour window and due to demand outstriping the resources available, the application process was then closed. Knipe said that the overwhelming demand indicates that there were probably many more than 160 businesses that would have applied, had there been more funding. There are over 2,500 businesses in Tompkins County. Knipe thanked the IURA for being an early partner. Farrell asked if Knipe is checking in with the recipient businesses. Knipe says he does regularly communicate with businesses but partner organization AFCU is charged with tracking how the businesses are faring. De Aragon commented that this program provides much opportunity for learning about the needs of local businesses and may even be a model in order to support community businesses through hardships in the future. If you can give a business $4,000 to save a business long-term, that’s a great investment, he stated. Graham stated that AFCU’s staff mobilized to make this emergency response a reality. Kathleen Clarke who runs AFCU’s Business Services Team to reach out to all applicants to see how things are going with them and intends to do so again prior to December 1. B. Short Term Rentals and their Impact on Ithaca’s Housing Market 2  Knipe then moved on to discuss the impact of short term rentals in the City. It’s hard to get data, he said, but the City uses/subscribes to two services that aid in this area: ​Host Compliance​, a third party service that helps municipalities collect data and room taxes, and AirDNA​, another service that collects data on short term rentals. AirBnB is the largest short term rental platform with 96% of local market share. VRBO and others also exist in the local market but to a much lesser extent. Data is imperfect for our area since the 15850 zip code extends beyond the City and data is broken down by ZIP code. Nonetheless, the available data is helpful. He shared data from last year, including that 65% of rentals are whole-house rentals. The remainder are rooms within an occupied house. Since the pandemic hit, tourism and visitation as a whole “went off a cliff” in March, April, and May. These months comprised the worst quarter in memory for the local hospitality industry. The short-term rental market similarly dipped during this time period: ● March 2020 = local short term rentals down 49% ● April 2020 = local short term rentals down 73% ● May 2020 = local short term rentals down 64% ● June 2020 = local short term rentals down 43% However, demand is back up. September 2020 bookings are up almost 20% from last September. Whole-home rentals are much more in demand than private rooms. There is actually reduced supply (some owners have taken their properties off the short-term rental platforms), as well, but increased demand, as people seek ways to safely get out of their own home environments. Last year, Knipe floated some policy objectives with Common Council. Knipe has been researching approaches to preventing short term rentals from supplanting permanent rentals (units needed to meet local housing need), and could propose some interventions, should the City wish to more formally regulate the short term rental market. Knipe’s department was poised to do community outreach on the topic before the pandemic and can take up the issue again. One complication is learning the interaction between Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and short term rentals. The issues are interrelated and should be well-understood when policy is crafted.

Third Round CARES Act CDBG-CV Award Mendizabal reported on recent HUD correspondence notifying the City of Ithaca of its award of $367,837 from the third tranche, or round, of CDBG-CV funding from the CARES Act, with a reminder that 20% is designated for administration. This brings Ithaca’s CDBG-CV total to $769,461 (including administration). Ithaca received allocations from the first and third tranche of CDBG-CV funding, but not the second tranche. Additionally, there remains is about $38,000 of funds from various sources that could be brought to bear 3  for COVID-related needs, bringing the current available total for new COVID-related projects to about $330,000. Establishment of a warming center for people experiencing homelessness is a top priority, since so many organizations that normally serve people needing housing are offering extremely curtailed in-person hours and winter options for safe indoor respite are few. Mendizabal discussed some of the other uses of CDBG-CV funds. Farrell signed off from the meeting at the time she indicated she would during this portion of the discussion. VI. Other Business A. IURA Grant Summary HETP will be vouchering soon, according to recent communication. B. Staff Report Mendizabal reported that HETP is now conducting their classes in a hybrid manner (in person and virtual). The local Funders COVID-19 Response Network continues to meet to determine local needs. As a part of that group, HSC is reaching out to nonprofits to survey what their specific needs are. Many are expecting cuts of 10-30% in the funds they normally receive from the County. IURA could reach out to HSC for more detail about current organizational needs for nonprofits. VI. Adjournment Meeting adjourned by consensus at 10:12 a.m. ​Approved 3-0​.

The following table compares the requirements for CBDO status against information submitted by GIAC, Inc.: Requirement per 570.204(c)(1) Staff Analysis Organizational Purpose: YES Organized under state law to undertake The Constitution of GIAC (October 1991) identifies community development activities mission as ‘providing community with multi- cultural, educational, and recreational programs focused on individual and social development”. The Certificate of Incorporation states the organizations purpose is “to provide coordinated, balanced programs of a social, educational, cultural, recreational and health nature for the good of the greater Ithaca area” Board Composition: YES A. Maintain at least 51% of governing body either GIAC amended its by-laws in 2017 to indicate LMI residents of area of operation, owners or there shall be no fewer than 9 and no more than senior officers of private establishments and 15 members. institutions in the service area, or representatives of LMI neighborhood There are currently 14 members. Eight of the 14 organizations in the service area. members (57%) meet CBDO composition B. No more than 33% of the governing body may requirements. be elected officials or employees/appointees of the City of Ithaca. YES There is one elected official on the Board (7%). Board Membership: YES Members of the board must be nominated and As evidenced by list of Board of Directors and approved by membership or permanent governing Constitution Article VI Section 1. body, except that up to 1/3 of the board may be appointed or be elected officials. Purpose of the Organization: SEE “CBDO RECOMMENDATION” BELOW Have as its primary purpose the improvement of Constitution Article II Section 2. the physical, economic, or social environment of its service area with particular emphasis on LMI persons Organizational Status: YES Must be either non-profit or for-profit with only 501(c)(3) incidental monetary benefit for its members. Assets: YES Must not be subject to reversion of assets to the No such reversion clause included in By-laws or grantee upon dissolution, except for assets related Articles of Incorporation to specific grants. Contracting: YES Must be free to contract for goods and services By Laws, Article V describes contracting in from vendors of its own choosing compliance with this requirement. CBDO Recommendation GIAC has been designated a CBDO in the past and its current application is in order, as evidenced by the above analysis. Community development is one of GIAC’s stated aims, and it has functioned as a CBDO by providing job readiness and job training to the community since 2012. IURA staff believe, after reviewing its Mission Statement, By-Laws, and Certificate of Incorporation, that GIAC meets the CDBO requirements. CDBG Public Service Cap Exemption One category of eligible CDBG activity is a “special activities by CBDOs”. Under certain circumstances, a CBDO is not subject to the 15% CDBG expenditure cap otherwise applicable to Public Services. To be exempt from the Public Service cap, the CBDO must both: (1) Undertake an eligible CBDO project, and (2) Carry out a service designed to increase economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons through job training and placement and other employment support services (e.g., child care, peer support programs, counseling, child care, transportation and other similar services). Eligible CBDO projects include any of the following:  Neighborhood revitalization,  Community economic development, or  Energy conservation project. According to HUD’s CDBG Desk Guide, a CBDO “community economic development” project must include activities that increase economic opportunity, principally for low- and moderate-income persons, or that are expected to create or retain businesses or permanent jobs within the community. HUD has emphasized that the provision of general job readiness training is not sufficient to qualify an activity as a CBDO Community Economic Development project; job placement must be the intended and actual outcome of such an activity. The Hospitality Employment Training Program job training and placement program appears to satisfy this criterion; therefore, it is not subject to the 15% Public Services cap.  PROGRAM UPDATES November 2020 This summary was compiled from consultations the IURA Community Development Planner has conducted recently among organizations that have received HUD Entitlement Support and others (have never applied or not currently receiving IURA funding). Programs consulted include the following, though may not be exhaustive: IURA-Funded: Catholic Charities of Tompkins-Tioga, the Child Development Council, GIAC, Historic Ithaca, Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County, INHS, OAR, Project Growing Hope, Salvation Army. Others: Black Hand Universal, Cornell University (various departments), COVID-19 Funders Response Network, Friendship Center (SJCS), Loaves & Fishes, The Robin Fund, Tompkins County Continuum of Care. New/Emerging Programs  Black Hand Universal Pod Classes at Just Because Center  Housing Linkages Program (HSC)  Loaves and Fishes Warming Center with advocacy Pivoting: Ongoing Responses – COVID -19  Adapting programing with social distancing in mind  Adapting programming with new/emergent community needs and current levels of unemployment/financial instability in mind  More virtual options, more hybrid options, more phone calls and conversations o Note: These are undoubtedly positive acheivements. At the same time, these innovations demand much from staff in terms of planning, re-learning, and simply time.  Agencies are attempting to widen their service populations o Example: Awareness that women’s unemployment has increased greatly and devising responses.  Street Outreach Group that formed early in the pandemic continues meeting together regularly to coordinate their efforts Challenges  “Reintroducing” program to long-standing partners o Example: Organizations community-wide undergone furloughs, permanent reduction in staff, and/or reorganization. As a result, staff members at IURA Funded Organizations (and others) often find themselves interfacing with different staff people at their partner agencies, people who don’t need onboarding to the partner organization, but do need orientation to the IURA Funded Activity, because they weren’t previously in a role where they did intakes or made referrals.  Decreased ability to refer participants to other needed services  Limits on in-person capacity limits ability to spread news widely o Difficulties recruiting participants  Example: Less “word of mouth” because people aren’t interacting as much; service providers are interfacing with each other as much, and so on. o Existing barriers to outreach or communication have increased  Housing instability  Cell phone and internet connectivity  Childcare o So much uncertainty for children of program participants and staff members of the organizations trying to serve them o Childcare infrastructure is extremely jeopardized because it is driven by parent fees Staffing  Reduced funding from County to local human service agencies  Program staffs seem to have really pulled together, have worked together to devise COVID- responsive systems, and are doing a lot with a little. At the same time, the type and volume of demands on their time are great and ever-changing. Lots of exhaustion.  Staff members who excel in service provision rely on their people skills and often find meaning from interpersonal interactions. Their job roles don’t necessarily translate well or easily to a Zoom environment. For Committee Discussion:  2019 Contract Expiration Dates (12/31/2020)  Achieving or amending beneficiary numbers  IURA Grants Summary August 2020 ON PROGRAM TRANSFERS TRANSFERS TOTAL Entitlement Funds PI TOTAL # SCHEDULE HUD ENTITLEMENT ACTIVITIES SPONSOR BUDGET INCOME IN OUT BUDGET EXPENDED UNEXPENDED UNEXPENDED UNEXPENDED % SPENT 2017 HOME Activities 2767 canceled 3.0 402 South Cayuga Street 17 Habitat for Humanity 80,000.00 0.00 0.00 80,000.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100% 2768 complete 4.0 Housing Scholarship Program11 The Learning Web 63,980.10 0.00 1,611.90 0.00 65,592.00 65,592.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100% 2769 complete 5.0 Security Deposit Assistance Catholic Charities 42,750.00 19,950.70 0.00 0.00 62,700.70 62,700.70 0.00 0.00 0.00 100% 2770 complete 21.0 828 Hector Street (CHDO) 23 INHS 41,378.00 4,309.08 0.00 4,309.08 41,378.00 41,378.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100% 2771 complete 20.0 HOME Admin IURA 27,565.10 0.00 0.00 0.00 27,565.10 27,565.10 0.00 0.00 0.00 100% 2807 complete Unallocated 2017 HOME 12, 17, 23, 24 N/A 19,977.80 0.00 84,309.08 104,286.88 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 N/A complete Home Admin (PI) 22 N/A 0.00 2,448.76 0.00 0.00 2,448.76 2,448.76 0.00 0.00 0.00 100% 2810 complete Recaptured Funds (HP) 15, 9 N/A 0.00 0.00 5,000.00 5,000.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 N/A 2809 complete Unanticipated Program Income (PI)8, 9 N/A 0.00 0.00 21,545.00 21,545.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 N/A Total 275,651.00 26,708.54 112,465.98 215,140.96 199,684.56 199,684.56 0.00 0.00 -
