Collum, Community Development Project Manager SUBJECT: 2018 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds ISSUE: Should the City of Renton hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for public comment on its use of 2018 CDBG funds for human services and public improvement/facilities, and modification to the 2017 CDBG contingency plan which includes unallocated 2016 CDBG funds? RECOMMENDATION: Authorize a public hearing date on October 2, 2017 for public comment on the City's proposed allocation and use of 2018 CDBG funds for human services and public improvement/facilities, and modification to the 2017 CDBG contingency plan which includes unallocated 2016 CDBG funds. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: 2018 Funding The City of Renton is required to hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for public comment on its proposed allocation and use of 2018 CDBG funds. Staff recommends that Council set October 2, 2017 as the public hearing date. Upon approval of the date, the City Clerk will publish a public notice announcing the hearing date. Representatives of the Community& Economic Development (CED) and Community Services departments will brief Council's Committee of the Whole on the proposed allocation and use of the 2018 funds on October 2 (prior to the public hearing). Over the past several years, Council has approved using these valuable federal dollars for City- managed human services and economic development activities, along with King County- operated human services activities that are typically funded through this source. In 2018, the "w'` '�'' AGENDA ITEM #7, d) Armondo Pavone,Council President Page 2 of 5 September 1,2017 City is estimated to receive $626,537 in CDBG funds. From that amount, the City must first provide contractual set-asides per the City's joint agreement for CDBG funding with King County ("Joint Agreement"), some of which fund important human service programs that provide valuable assistance to Renton residents. The set-asides and corresponding amounts consist of: ■ County Administration: $62,654 ■ County Capital Administration: $12,531 ■ Housing Stability Program: $31,327 (provides rent and mortgage assistance to prevent individuals or families from eviction) ■ King County Housing Repair Program: $125,307 (provides interest-free loans and emergency grant services to low- and moderate-income homeowners to repair their homes) The net amount available for the City's use after set-asides is estimated to be$394,718. Of the remaining $394,718, the City proposes to allocate$62,654 for Planning and Administration (or the maximum amount allowed), leaving a discretionary balance of$332,064. For this discretionary balance of 2018 CDBG funding, CED has created the Public Facilities and Improvements Program for the Downtown/South Renton and Sunset areas (the "Public Improvements Program"). The Public Improvements Program will improve accessibility and safety for pedestrians in areas where improvements are made, as well as bring sidewalks and associated infrastructure up to current City standards. Public Improvements Program activities will replace deteriorated or substandard sidewalks, widen sidewalks, and/or fill in missing sidewalk gaps or sections in selected areas of the combined Downtown and South Renton subareas of the City Center community and the Sunset area (see attached maps). Each specific project to be funded through CDBG must be an eligible activity under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations ("HUD regulations"), meet a national objective in accordance with HUD regulations, and comply with the Joint Agreement. In this case, the Public Improvements Program has been designed to target the HUD CDBG national objective of"Low-and Moderate-Income Area Benefit". The area benefit objective requires that at least 51% of the residents residing in a primarily residential area are low-and moderate-income persons. Utilizing census data per HUD regulations, staff has determined that the Downtown/South Renton and Sunset areas meet this requirement. CDBG funds may be used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or installation of public improvements or facilities, including sidewalks, streets and parks amongst others. In addition to the direct benefits improved public areas will provide residents of the Public tmprovements Program areas, CED believes that providing these improvements and `'�`' i"�"` AGENDA ITEM #7. d) Armondo Pavone,Council President Page 3 of 5 September 1,2017 facilities will serve as an economic development catalyst to continue existing and encourage additional private development projects within the City's two revitalization areas. A range of projects and opportunity locations have been identified that may benefit from the 2018 funding, such as: o Augment improvements already planned by the City through Downtown's one- way conversion projects at Wells, Williams and Main avenues. Intersection improvements and sidewalk replacement are planned along S. 3�d Street between Burnett and Main; Wells Avenue S between S. 2"d and 5th streets; Williams Avenue S between S. 3�d and 5th streets; and Main Avenue S between S. 2"d and 3�d streets. The Public Improvements Program can assist with improvements that will bring the public realm of the blocks in between the intersections up to current standards that include level and accessible sidewalk surfaces, better pedestrian-level lighting, additional trees and landscaping, and essential street furniture. o Connect the two blocks between the Burnett Linear Park South (and playground) and Piazza Park with an off-street, landscaped linear walking path/park providing safe access between the two public parks (Burnett between S. 3�d and 5tn streets). The east side of the Burnett block between S. 3�d and 4th streets is currently missing a sidewalk. The improvements will expand parkland and open space, while creating a safe, accessible walking route for residents from South Renton to the Downtown Civic Core. o Improve pedestrian amenities and safety by providing sidewalk and associated infrastructure improvements in the Sunset area. The improvements will create safe, accessible walking routes to schools, the public library, parks, and community facilities in support of the Sunset Area Community Planned Action adopted by Council in 2011. The 2018 CDBG funding is not sufficient to fund all of the opportunities listed above. The Public Improvements Program intends to select a project or projects based upon a combination of the following criteria (no particular order): 1. Will the CDBG funding adequately fund the project, either as stand-alone funding or in combination with other funding that has been readily identified and secured? 2. If the project is funded, will it be implemented and completed in sufficient time to meet required HUD regulations? ``�' `�'°' A GENDA I TEM #7, d) Armondo Pavone,Council President Page 4 of 5 September 1,2017 3. Will CDBG provide funding that would allow the project to move forward faster than awaiting other potential funding sources, based upon the viability of those other sources? 2018 Contin�ency Plan As funding numbers are estimates only at this time, HUD requires a contingency plan be adopted. Should the City's 2018 CDBG allocation increase, after funding planning and administration to the maximum allowable amount, the increased amount from the actual allocation or any recaptured funds will go to the Public Improvements Program. Any decreases in the allocation will decrease the amount provided to the Public Improvements Program. In the event the Public Improvements Program has funds that are not under contract by December 31, 2018, and/or the City has program income for 2018, staff recommends those funds be used for the City's Healthy Housing Program. For approximately every$15,000 in funding, Healthy Housing proposes to replace the roof and add/improve ventilation to minimize moisture/mold issues for one household. Healthy Housing clients will be selected from current Housing Repair clients. Funds will first be targeted to the Housing Repair clients residing in the Sunset area. If there are not enough households identified for Healthy Housing services in that area after appropriate outreach is completed, then Housing Repair clients citywide will be eligible for Healthy Housing services. 2016 and 2017 Fundin� For the City's discretionary 2016 CDBG funding, Council approved using approximately $318,000 for the Downtown Commercial Rehabilitation and Fa�ade Improvement Loan Program ("Fa�ade Program"). The Fa�ade Program, originally created in 2014, has thus far provided loans for three downtown properties. Along with a small balance from 2015 and the approved 2016 CDBG funds, CED has been promoting the Fa�ade Program to downtown property and business owners. While several have expressed interest, only one new property owner is presently interested in the program's funding. An application for the property (700 S. 3�d Street) is expected in the next 30 days. CED is also discussing amendments to agreements with two existing loan recipients representing the Cortona and Vigor Life buildings for additional funds to cover cost overruns and certain fa�ade improvements not covered in the original funding. However, the new project and amendments to existing agreements will take several more weeks to finalize and bring forward for approval. CED would also like to amend the Fa�ade Program as well as the King County Action Plan to make the Sunset low-moderate income area (as discussed above) eligible for funding should the approved funds not be committed to downtown properties within HUD-required timeframes. In order to ensure timely expenditure of 2016 funds in accordance with HUD regulations, the following projects approved by Council for CDBG funding in 2017 will be funded by 2016 CDBG funds. � �" AGENDA 1TEM #7. d) Armondo Pavone,Council President Page 5 of 5 September 1,2017 • Microbusiness Enterprise Training $ 25,000 • Healthy Housing Repair Program $ 75,000 • Renton Senior Activity Center ADA $230,109 Using 2016 funds to fund these projects that are ready to move forward now ensures Renton's compliance with HUD regulations and allows the 2017 CDBG funds to be used to fund the Fa�ade Program originally approved for 2016 CDBG funds. 2017 funds are expected to be available starting late October 2017, which will fit the timing necessary for the anticipated Fa�ade Program projects noted above. Essentially, by swapping the fund years, projects ready to move forward have the funding to do so, and the Fa�ade Program will have the funds available when they are ready to move forward later this year. 2017 Contin�encv Plan Chan�es For 2017, the approved contingency plan called for any increases in funding to be directed to the Senior Activity Center project. The project is presently starting construction, and it appears a total amount of the $26,752 is not necessary for the project. Staff proposes to amend the 2017 contingency plan to allocate $2,000 of the funds for the Senior Activity Center project contingency, $9,057 to the Fa�ade Program, and $15,695 for the Microbusiness Enterprise Training 2018 program. CONCLUSION: CDBG funds can provide a source of funding to provide public facilities and improvements in the City's priority revitalization areas (Downtown/South Renton and Sunset) in 2018. The Program's selected projects will improve accessibility and safety for pedestrians in areas where improvements are made, as well as bring sidewalks and associated infrastructure up to current City standards, while also serving as an economic development catalyst within the designated areas. Furthermore,the improvements will benefit the area's residents, including low- and moderate-income persons. Allocation of other CDBG funds to satisfy contractual set-asides per the Joint Agreement will ensure that important human service programs provided by King County to Renton residents will continue. The switching of projects and programs approved by Council for the City's 2016 and 2017 CDBG funding cycles will ensure timely commitment and expenditure of those important funds per HUD regulations. By scheduling a public hearing for October 2, 2017, the Council will provide an opportunity for public comment on the allocation of the City's 2018 CDBG funding for human services and public improvement/facilities, and modification to the 2017 contingency plan which includes unallocated 2016 funds.

Should Renton's allocation increase,after funding planning and administration to the maximum allowable amount, any increases in entitlement or recaptured funds will go to the Public Improvements Program. Any decreases in entitlement will decrease the amount allocated to the Public Improvements Program. � � CDBG Program Income will be allocated to the Healthy Housing Program. Any Public Improvements Program funds not under contract by December 31, 2018, will be recaptured and reallocated to the Healthy Housing Program. For approximately every$15,000 in funding, Healthy Housing is proposing to replace the roof and add/improve ventilation to minimize moisture/mold issues for one household. Healthy Housing clients will be selected from current Housing Repair Clients. Funds will be targeted to the Housing Repair Clients residing in the Sunset area. If there are not enough households identified for Healthy Housing services in that area after appropriate outreach is completed,then Housing Repair clients citywide will be eligible for Healthy Housing services.
