I THINK JUST A FEW CRITERIA SO THAT WHEN IT GOES OUT, A PROVIDER KNOWS IF THEY'RE ELIGIBLE OR NOT.
SO THEY DON'T COME IF THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE.
WELL, THE GROUP THAT IS WORKING WITH US AS ALL THAT, AS ALL THAT IS NEEDED.
SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THEM.
THEY'LL BE SENDING THEM OUT BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE THOSE PARTICULARS.
THEY ALREADY HAVE A GROUP OF CHILDCARE.
I'M SAYING WHATEVER WE DISTRIBUTE TO THE COMMISSIONERS TO SEND OUT TO THE DISTRICTS, INCLUDE THE ELIGIBILITY ON THERE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK? NOT A QUESTION.
I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
IT'S A LOT OF THOUGHT HAS GONE INTO IT AND WORK ALREADY AND WE APPRECIATE IT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY.
DENNIS WILLIAMS, COULD YOU GIVE US THE OVERVIEW OF THE CITY MANAGERS PROPOSED FY 20 26 27,
[00:10:02]
UH, BUDGET? UH, YES, THANK YOU.CHAIR RUBEN, UH, GRIGGS, UH, COMMISSION MEMBERS.
I'M SHANNON WILLIAMS, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, UH, GRANTS DIVISION OF BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
AND AS THE CHAIR HAS SAID, TONIGHT, I WILL PRESENTING THE CITY MANAGERS, UH, PROPOSED HUD CONSOLIDATED PLAN BUDGET FOR FY 20 26 27 FISCAL YEAR.
UM, YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED TWO DOCUMENTS.
ONE IS A BRIEFING, A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION THAT PROVIDES SOME EXPLANATION AND HIGHLIGHTS FOR EACH OF THE GRANTS.
AS YOU REVIEW THE NUMBERS THAT ARE WILL, ARE IN THE ATTACHMENT TOO, WHICH IS THE PROPOSED BUDGET.
UH, IN PREPARATION FOR YOUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED, JUST WANNA GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, PROVIDE SOME HIGHLIGHTS AND SOME DETAILS SO THAT AS YOU GO THROUGH THAT AND PREPARE FOR YOUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS, YOU'LL HAVE A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION THAN JUST THE NUMBERS AND STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, UM, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK THAT YOU NEED.
SO, GOING TO THE PRESENTATION, UM, IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE INFORMATION THAT YOU RECEIVED, UH, YEAR OVER YEAR.
FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE COMMISSION, YOU'LL RECOGNIZE IT.
AND FOR THOSE THAT ATTENDED THE RECENTLY COM COMPLETED, UH, COMMUNITY MEETINGS, YOU'LL RECOGNIZE A LOT OF THE INFORMATION.
SO I WON'T JUST READ EVERY SLIDE.
I WILL SLOW DOWN FOR INFORMATION THAT MIGHT BE NEW AND DIFFERENT.
UM, BUT WE'LL JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH THE HIGHLIGHTS AND THEN I, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE NOW AND PREPARE FOR YOUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SCHEDULED.
UM, ON SLIDE TWO THERE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A PURPOSE.
WE'LL, THIS PRESENTATION INCLUDE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT CONSOLIDATED PLAN, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ALLOCATIONS, THE BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS, THE PROPOSED BUDGETS, AND SOME HIGHLIGHTS FOR EACH OF THE GRANTS.
SO ON SLIDE SIX YOU CAN SEE, UM, JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND ABOUT THE, THE HUD GRANTS THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.
HUD HAS A LOT OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS, UH, FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THIS PRESENTATION IS ABOUT THE FOUR GRANTS THAT WE RECEIVE EACH YEAR, KNOWN AS THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN, SOME OF THE ELIGIBILITY JUST TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE HUD DOLLARS, POPULATION OF 50,000 OR MORE.
AND THEN, UH, THE ALLOCATION ITSELF IS BASED ON CENSUS DATA, OUR 10 YEAR DATA AND THE FIVE YEAR AM AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA.
THE NEXT SLIDE, UH, JUST, UH, UH, OUTLINES THOSE FOUR GRANTS.
THE FOUR, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, OUR HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP GRANT THAT GOES BY HOME.
OUR EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT, ESG, THE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY FOR PERSONS WITH AGE, WHICH IS OUR HOPPER GRANT.
JUST A KEY FEATURE OF THESE GRANTS IS THE ABILITY THAT EACH COMMUNITY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND CHOOSE AND IDENTIFY THOSE PROGRAMS THAT ARE BEST FIT FOR THE CITY'S NEEDS.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE THERE, UM, OUR CONSOLIDATED PLAN, WE'VE GONE THROUGH, DONE SOME ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFIED WHAT THE CITY OF DALLAS COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE.
OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN PRIORITIZES THOSE NEEDS, AND THEN LAYS OUT A PLAN OF HOW WE PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS.
ON SLIDE NINE, YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR NEEDS IDENTIFIED FOR THE CITY IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING, HOMELESS SERVICES, HUMAN AND SOCIAL NEEDS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, ALSO REFERRED TO AS OUR INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMS. ON THE NEXT SLIDE, THE CITY RECEIVES THESE GRANTS.
AND IN ORDER TO DO SO, WE MUST HAVE A FIVE YEAR PLAN.
WE SUBMIT THAT PLAN, AND THEN EACH YEAR WE SUBMIT AN ACTION PLAN OF HOW WE PLAN TO IMPLEMENT, UH, WITH THOSE FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVE EACH YEAR.
AND OF COURSE, THAT CONSOLIDATED PLAN PROVIDES A BASELINE OF HOW WE PLAN TO USE OUR FUNDS TO IDENTIFY THOSE COMMUNITY NEEDS.
OUR CURRENT PLAN, FIVE YEARS STARTED IN 20 24, 25 FISCAL YEAR.
AND IT GOES THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 28, 29.
AND THE INITIAL FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT WE'RE UNDER RIGHT NOW BECAME EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST, 2024 FOR OUR UPCOMING ACTION PLAN.
THE 20 26 27 ACTION PLAN IS DUE TO HUD NO LATER THAN AUGUST 16TH.
AND THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR OF OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN.
AND ON THAT NEXT SLIDE, IT'S JUST A PICTURE TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A VISUAL OF WHAT, UH, I JUST SHARED IN, IN THE NARRATIVE OF ON SLIDE 11.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE TALK ABOUT THAT FIVE YEAR PLAN.
IT TALKS ABOUT ALL THE NEEDS, THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN, IT HAS THAT, ALL THE DETAILS, SOME ANALYSIS AND DATA ABOUT HOW WE IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE NEEDS WERE.
[00:15:01]
AND WHEN WE ARE TELLING HUD IN OUR FIVE-YEAR PLAN, HEY, IF WE WOULD MONEY EACH YEAR, WE'RE GONNA TAKE STEPS TO ADDRESS EVERYTHING, UM, ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES, UH, IN OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN.AND THEN THE NEXT BAR YOU SEE THERE IS OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.
SO EACH YEAR WE'VE SUBMITTED A PLAN.
YOU CAN SEE THERE OUR UPCOMING 20 26, 27, UH, FISCAL YEAR.
IT IS OUR THIRD YEAR OF OUR PLAN, AND IT WILL BE SUBMITTED ON AUGUST THE 20TH OF AUGUST OF 2026.
SO THE NEXT SLIDE YOU CAN SEE, UH, SLIDE EIGHT 13.
SO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVED THE APPROPRIATION BILL, UH, WAS APPROVED ON FEBRUARY 3RD, AND THAT INCLUDED THE, OUR HUD FUNDING FOR 26 27.
SO ONCE THE, UH, PROBATION BILL IS SIGNED, HUD HAS 60 DAYS TO PUBLISH WHAT OUR FINAL ALLOCATIONS ARE, AND WE EXPECT THAT WE'LL GET OUR FINAL ACTUAL NUMBERS SOMETIME EARLY IN APRIL.
SO FOR BUDGET PURPOSES, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE MET ALL OF OUR THRESHOLDS AND MET THE REQUIREMENTS.
WE ASSUMED A, A BOOK FUNDING IN THAT WE ASSUMED THAT WE WILL GET AT LEAST THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR NEXT YEAR THAT WE HAVE THIS YEAR.
SO AGAIN, BACK TO MEET OUR STATUTORY DEADLINES AND REQUIREMENTS.
WE STARTED, WE BEGAN USING THESE ESTIMATED NUMBERS, UH, TO DEVELOP OUR BUDGET.
JUST A REMINDER THAT ONCE WE RECEIVE OUR FINAL NUMBERS FROM, UH, HUD, THE CITY MANAGER WILL PROPOSE INCREASES AND DECREASES AS NECESSARY TO BALANCE ONCE WE HAVE OUR, THE, UH, FINAL AVAILABLE RESOURCES.
SO ON SLIDE 15, THIS JUST A VISUAL OF WHAT I JUST SHARED.
UM, OUR ACTUAL GRANT AMOUNTS, UH, FOR OUR CBG HOME, ESG AND HOPPER GRANTS THAT WE EXPECT TO COME FROM HUD.
UM, WE HAVE OUR ACTUAL AMOUNTS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, AND WE'RE ESTIMATING EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT.
UH, FOR TO, FOR BUDGET DEVELOP, FOR BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES, WE'RE ASSUMING LEVEL FUNDING.
SO ON SLIDE 17 THERE, WHEN WE JUST SHARE SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE HAVE AS WE WENT INTO DEVELOPING THE BUDGET, UH, WE WANT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN AND THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THAT PLAN.
WE WANNA ENSURE THAT WE COMPLY WITH THE HUD GUIDELINES FOR IN OUR CDBG, WE HAVE THOSE CAP CATEGORIES.
OUR PUBLIC SERVICES IS LIMITED TO 15% OF THE GRANT GRANT.
AND WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR PROGRAM AND OVERSIGHT, UH, WE ARE LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN 20%.
WE WANTED ADHERE TO THE CITY AND HUD'S TIMELY EXPENDITURE POLICIES WILL CONTINUE OUR MONITORING, OUR HUD MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT OUR HOUSING PROGRAMS, UH, AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FOR HOUSING IS REQUIRED BY HUD.
OUR NEXT SLIDE, AS WE STEP A LITTLE BIT INTO THE PROPOSED BUDGETS AND THE FUNDS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT, IDENTIFYING THOSE RESOURCES THAT WE EXPECT.
SO THE FIRST PART OF THE CHART, AGAIN, WE HAVE THE SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON WHERE WE HAVE OUR ACTUAL, THAT WE, UH, RECEIVED FROM HUD, AND THEN WE HAVE THE ESTIMATED, WHICH IS, UH, TOTAL TO APPROXIMATELY $29.2 MILLION.
THEN THOSE OTHER FUNDS THAT WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, WHICH IS OUR PROGRAM INCOME PROGRAM INCOME, IS GENERATED FROM, UH, SOME OF OUR, MOSTLY FROM OUR HOUSING ACTIVITIES, WHERE WE HAVE USED CDBG FUNDS OR HOME FUNDS TO ASSIST THE UNIT OR REPAIR UNIT.
AND THEN, UH, IF THE HOUSE IS SOLD OR SOME REVENUE COMES BACK, IT IS CONSIDERED PROGRAM INCOME BACK TO THE FUND AND IT'S USED AS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, UNDER OUR CBG GRANT, WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY $200,000.
AND OF OUR HOME, WE EXPECT ABOUT 500,000, WHICH WILL GIVE US AN ADDITIONAL $700,000 FOR OUR FISCAL YEAR, UH, ACTIVITIES ON SLIDE 20.
DO, DO I HAVE NO COPIES? OKAY.
SO ON, UM, SLIDE 20, THE GRANT IS THEN WE HAVE, UH, SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON BASED ON THE HUD CATEGORIES.
AND THAT'S JUST A HIGH LEVEL OF WHAT'S IN THE BUDGET.
AND IT'S COMPARING WHAT IS PROPOSED AND ESTIMATED FOR 26 27 COMPARED TO, UH, WHAT THE ACTUALLY IS BUDGETED FOR 25, 26.
[00:20:01]
JUST WANT TO, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEREFORE, OUR HOUSING ACTIVITIES, WE DO HAVE A SHIFT IN FUNDING IN OUR HOUSING GRANT, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.THE FUNDS ARE MOVED FROM THE HOUSING ACTIVITIES DOWN TO OUR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CATEGORY BECAUSE INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, IS AN ELIGIBLE USE THAT WILL SUPPORT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
SO, UM, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE USED.
SO THERE'S A SHIFT IN FUNDING, BUT STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT ANSWER QUESTIONS.
AND THEN THERE'S SOME NARRATIVE IN THE BRIEFING A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN AS WE GO THROUGH HIGHLIGHTS.
SO THE NEXT FEW SLIDES, WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH SOME HIGHLIGHTS FOR EACH OF THE, THE GRANT CATEGORIES THAT AS YOU GO THROUGH THE LINE BY LINE, JUST SOMETHING TO REFER BACK TO AS THEY'RE GROUPED BY OUR HUD CATEGORIES.
SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PUBLIC SERVICES UNDER OUR CDBG, AGAIN, JUST A REMINDER THAT WE ARE LIMITED TO 15% OF THE GRANT AMOUNT PLUS OUR PROGRAM INCOME.
AS YOU GO THROUGH THE NUMBERS, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE'RE CONTINUING OUR PART, OUR SAME PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE.
AND YOU'LL SEE A SLIGHT SHIFT IN SOME OF THE FUNDING AND BETWEEN THE DRIVERS OF OPPORTUNITY AND THE CHILDCARE.
SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT.
AND WE'LL, AGAIN, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT AND YOU'RE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS.
WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR HOUSING CATEGORY, THAT IS WHERE WE SAW THE, YOU'LL SEE A SHIFT IN THE FUNDING THERE.
OUR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION LOAN PROGRAM THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE USED TO SUPPORT HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.
THERE WAS A SITE INCREASE THERE, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE A REDUCTION IN OUR DALLAS HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND THE HOME IMPROVEMENT AND PRESERVATION PROGRAM.
AND THE REASON WE THOUGHT THAT THAT MIGHT BE A A A IS RECOMMENDED FOR NEXT YEAR, AS YOU WILL CALL, THOSE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN OUTSOURCED THIS YEAR.
THOSE PROGRAMS ARE RAMPING UP.
SO WE HAVE CURRENT FUNDS FROM PRIOR YEAR THAT'S AVAILABLE, AND THERE WILL BE NO IMPACT FOR NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THE CONTRACTS ARE JUST RAMPING UP.
AND WE'LL GET TO SEE HOW THOSE ARE.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE DON'T WANT JUST MONEY PARK.
SO WE'RE SHIFTING SOME OF THE, THE RESOURCES IN OUR HOUSING TO DO SOME ONE-TIME SHOVEL READY PROJECTS, GETTING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS DONE.
AND THEN ONCE WE NEXT YEAR, DURING THIS TIME WHEN WE'RE BUDGETING, WE'LL BE ABLE TO PUT THOSE FUNDS BACK AS THEY'RE NEEDED AS RECOMMENDED BASED ON PERFORMANCE FOR NEXT YEAR.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT AGAIN, WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT AND STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS UNDER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CLEARANCE AND ENHANCEMENT.
AS YOU RECALL, LAST YEAR IT WAS A PILOT PROGRAM.
UM, THIS YEAR THE PROGRAM IS GOING VERY WELL AND WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO MAINTAIN THAT FUNDING FOR NEXT YEAR.
THE NEXT SLIDE WE TALK ABOUT, UH, THE INCREASE IN THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENT CATEGORIES.
AND THERE AGAIN, IS WHERE WE REMIND YOU THAT, UM, THOSE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AS WELL, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE UNDER THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CATEGORY.
UH, FAIR HOUSING AND PROGRAM, UH, OVERSIGHT, THAT IS THE ADMIN CATEGORY.
AND IT ALSO INCLUDES THE FAIR HOUSING, UH, ACTIVITIES.
AND THAT IS MAINTAINED AT LEVEL FUNDING.
AGAIN, 20% OF THE, UH, HUD GRANT IS THE MAXIMUM WE CAN PUT THERE.
MOVING TO OUR HOME GRANTS, JUST A REMINDER THAT CHODO DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FUNDING THE REQUIREMENTS ARE THAT NO LESS THAN 15% OF THIS GRANT.
AND THEN FOR OPERATING, THERE'S NO MORE THAN 5% IS ALLOWED FOR THOSE CATEGORIES.
AND WE WILL, YOU WILL SEE THERE, WE ARE MAINTAINING THE, THE FUNDING LEVEL FOR ALL THOSE PROGRAMS. AND LOOKING AT MOVING TO OUR EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT, THE HIGHLIGHTS THERE, THE FUNDING REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT THE FUNDING ALLOCATIONS BE MADE IN CONSULTATION WITH OUR LOCAL, UH, CONTINUAL CARE.
UH, THAT MEETING INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED AT THAT MEETING ON FEBRUARY 25TH.
AND AS YOU GO THROUGH THE HOME GRANT, THE ESG GRANT, YOU WILL, UH, SEE THAT WE ALSO RECOMMENDING, UH, MAINTAINING LEVEL FUNDING ACROSS ALL THOSE ACTIVITIES.
PENDING FINAL NOTICE OF OUR GRANT FROM HUD, MOVING FORWARD TO SLIDE 30, WHICH IS OUR HOPPER GRANT.
AND OUR LAST AND FINAL, AGAIN, THESE FUNDING ALLOCATIONS ARE, UH, CONSISTENT WITH THE PRIORITIES THAT ARE ESTABLISHED BY OUR RYAN WHITE PLANNING COUNCIL, THE DALLAS AREA.
AND THERE'S A NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT THEY DO AND WE WORK WITH THEM AND SHARE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE RYAN WHITE PLANNING COUNCIL.
AND AGAIN, WITH OUR HARPER PROGRAM, WE ARE RECOMMENDING LEVEL FUNDING
[00:25:01]
UNTIL WE RECEIVE OUR FINAL NUMBERS FROM HUD.SO MOVING TO, UH, OUR NEXT STEPS ON SLIDE 32, WE HAVE, UH, JUST A SCHEDULE.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT TONIGHT WE ARE PRESENTING THE CITY MANAGERS POST BUDGET DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH.
THE COMMITTEES WILL MEET TO GO THROUGH EACH OF THE CATEGORIES LINE BY LINE, AND STAFF WILL BE THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
AS I'VE SHARED ON APRIL 2ND, THE COMMITTEES WILL REPORT OUT AND THE FULL COMMISSION WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON THE CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED BUDGET FROM YOUR APRIL 2ND MEETING.
WE WILL MOVE TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE 15TH, AND WE'RE SCHEDULED TO BRIEF THE CITY COUNCIL.
AND AT THAT TIME, WE WILL SHARE WITH COUNCIL THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED BUDGET AND THE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMISSION ON APRIL 30TH.
WE, AT THE TIME WE PRESENT THE, THE CDC D'S RECOMMENDATION, UH, ALONG WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S, PROPOSED BUDGET COUNCIL WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK, ASK QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE ANY AMENDMENTS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE.
UM, MAY 6TH, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE SCHEDULED FOR ANY COUNCIL AMENDMENTS AND COUNCIL WILL CONDUCT A PRELIMINARY STRAW VOTE ON THE MANAGER'S PROPOSED BUDGET.
ON MAY 13TH, WE ARE SCHEDULED TO, FOR PRELIMINARY ADOPTION, WE WILL CALL A PUBLIC HEARING.
AND THEN THAT 30 DAY, UH, PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT PERIOD BEGINS ON THE 24TH OF MAY.
WE'LL RUN AN AD IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS INFORMING OUR RESIDENTS OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET AND THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WAS SCHEDULED ON JUNE 10TH.
WE PLAN TO, UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD BEFORE CITY COUNCIL MAY, JUNE 24TH, WE'RE SCHEDULED FOR FINAL ADOPTION.
WE ARE SCHEDULED TO SUBMIT OUR ACTION PLAN.
AND BY AUGUST, THE RULE IS NO LATER THAN AUGUST, UH, 16TH.
AND SO AUGUST 15TH IS A SATURDAY.
SO WE'LL PROBABLY BE SUBMITTING ON ON THAT FRIDAY THE 14TH.
AND THEN, UH, IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 20 26 27, UH, BUDGET WILL BEGIN ON OCTOBER ONE.
SO THAT DOES COMPLETE THE, OH, I WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE ACTUAL BUDGET DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE, THAT SECOND DOCUMENT WITH JUST THE NUMBERS.
SO AGAIN, JUST REALLY A RECAP OF THE WORDS THAT I SHARED.
UM, CAN WE HAVE THE BUDGET, UH, ATTACHMENT SHARE THERE? THAT ATTACHMENT? YES.
SO THAT IS JUST THE BUDGET YOU'LL SEE THERE.
AGAIN, UH, OUR CURRENT BUDGET SIDE BY SIDE WITH WHAT IS PROPOSED, UM, THE USE OF FUNDS, AGAIN, ON THAT FIRST PAGE.
THEN AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE LINE BY LINE, UM, IN THE PUBLIC SERVICES HIGHLIGHT WHERE WE TALK ABOUT, UH, THE PARK AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE THAT SITES SHIFTING AND FUNDING THERE.
UH, THAT 6,000 8 0 8, UM, FROM THE DRIVERS OF OPPORTUNITY UP TO, UH, THE CHILDCARE.
JUST A SLIGHT INCREASE THERE, $6,000, YOU WILL, AS YOU WALK THROUGH, YOU WILL THEN SEE WHERE WE HAVE UNDER THE HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
YOU'LL SEE THAT FOR NEXT YEAR.
WE'RE NOT, UH, CARRYING THAT, UH, RECOMMENDING, UH, ALLOCATION THERE AS WELL AS IN OUR HIP PROGRAM.
AGAIN, THOSE CONTRACTS ARE, THOSE CONTRACTS ARE JUST RAMPING UP.
AND THEY DO HAVE CURRENT YEAR FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, UH, TO FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL OR DEVELOPMENT ON LINE EIGHT, YOU'LL SEE THAT SLIGHT INCREASE THERE.
AND THEN ON LINE 10, YOU'LL SEE THAT INCREASE FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICES, OR I'M SORRY, THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
AND AGAIN, UM, THOSE FUNDS CAN BE USED AS WELL TO SUPPORT HOUSING AS WELL.
BUT THEY ALSO MAKE 'EM AVAILABLE FOR OTHER ELIGIBLE USES UNDER OUR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, UH, CATEGORY.
AND THOSE ARE LIKE THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES.
THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.
YOU'LL SEE AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE HOME GRANT, UM, ON LINE 19, THAT IS A COMPANION PROGRAM UNDER THE HOME GRANT.
IT IS THE OTHER PART OF WHAT'S ON LINE FIVE CDBG HAS A HOME ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, IS AN ELIGIBLE HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE IS AN ELIGIBLE ACTIVITY UNDER CDBG AS
[00:30:01]
WELL AS HOME.SO YOU'LL SEE THAT FOR NEXT YEAR.
WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING THOSE, BUT WE'RE MOVING THOSE FUNDS DOWN TO, UH, MAKE 'EM AVAILABLE FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AS PROJECTS ARE IDENTIFIED FOR THAT.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THE, UH, ALLOCATIONS REMAIN FAIRLY CONSISTENT FROM THIS YEAR.
AND WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS NOW AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR FEEDBACK DURING OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
HAN COMMISSIONERS, DO ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, NO QUESTION.
I WANTED TO SAY, HAN THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION, THOROUGH EXPLANATION AROUND THE HOME PROGRAM AND A REUSE OF THOSE FUNDS.
SO I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
COMMISSIONER GLENN, COMMISSIONER BACH.
UM, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THIS, WE'VE HEARD THE ASSUMPTION THAT THIS YEAR WILL BE THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.
DO YOU EVER GET ANY KIND OF, UH, HEADS UP AS TO WHAT, WHAT CHANGE MIGHT OCCUR OR HOW MUCH? SO IT JUST, IT JUST COMES IN THE MAILBOX AND YOU SEE IT SHOWS UP, PRETTY MUCH COMES IN AN EMAIL.
UH, WE'RE NOTIFIED THAT THE ALLOCATIONS HAVE BEEN POSTED VIA EMAIL AND WE GO OUT TO SEE, UM, PAST COUPLE OF YEARS DECREASES.
FORTUNATELY THEY'VE BEEN SMALL ONES, BUT THEY ARE IMPACTFUL.
I WILL JUST SAY THIS YEAR, ACTUAL AMOUNT WAS 12,000,944.
ENOUGH TO, YOU KNOW, BE IMPACTFUL, BUT IT IS A DECREASE.
SO, BUT THEY DON'T SHARE BEFORE.
SO, REAL QUICKLY, SECOND QUESTION, LINE 10, SEE THE $3 MILLION SHIFT, UM, IN THE PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT.
AND SO THE ADDITIONAL $3 MILLION, I MEAN, HAVE THOSE PROJECTS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AND, AND ARE, ARE THEY DETAILED SOMEWHERE WHERE WE'RE, WE'RE SPENDING THREE ADDITIONAL MILLION, $3 MILLION ADDITIONAL ON, ON, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, RE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
I'M JUST CURIOUS WHERE, HOW WERE THEY SELECTED AND IS THAT ALREADY DONE MAYBE IN A, A DETAILED SHEET OR SOMETHING? WE WILL, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.
THIS IS A RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR NOW AND THAT WAS NOT, IT'S LIKE, AS WE WENT THROUGH CONSIDERING WHAT BEST USE ENSURE THAT WE WERE SPENDING THE FUNDS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, THERE'S ALWAYS A LIST FOR, BECAUSE THE, THERE'S A COUNCIL RESOLUTION THAT LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT CAN BE AWARDED TO NONPROFITS FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.
SO WE KNOW THAT THAT'S ABOUT 5%.
SO THAT'S BEEN RUNNING ABOUT 700,000 PER YEAR.
AND THEN FOR CITY OWNED FACILITIES, PARKS, LIBRARIES, SIDEWALKS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES, THERE'S ALWAYS A NEED.
THERE'S A MASTER LIST WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF NEED FOR, FOR SIDEWALKS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
THE CITY BG FUNDS ALLOWS US TO TAKE THOSE LISTS AND GO THROUGH AND PRIORITIZE SOME OF OUR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME BECAUSE THE CITY'S JUST GOING DOWN THE LIST BASED ON FUNDING AVAILABILITY.
BY HAVING THESE FUNDS AVAILABLE, WE'RE ABLE TO GO INTO SOME OF OUR HIGH NEED COMMUNITIES AND WE CAN KIND OF ESCALATE THOSE PROJECTS BECAUSE THESE FUNDS ALLOW THAT.
UM, WHATEVER OTHER TYPES OF FACILITIES THAT THE CITY HAS, THERE'S ALWAYS A NEED.
WE, THE CITY OWNS THE BRIDGE, THE HOMELESS FACILITY ALWAYS A NEED FOR, SO WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING, ONCE IT'S FINAL, THEN WE CAN ALWAYS IDENTIFY THE NEED FOR THAT.
THE OTHER THING WITH THE HOUSING, UH, ACQUISITION PROGRAM, THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT IS CONSTANTLY HEARING FROM DEVELOPERS ABOUT PROJECTS.
BY US HAVING FUNDS IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AND IN THE BRICKS AND MORTAR FOR THE PROJECT, HOUSING HAS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT IF THE DEVELOPER DOESN'T WANT DOLLARS INTO HIS BUILDING, WE CAN HELP WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND THESE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THAT.
SO THAT TYPE OF PLANNING WE CAN DO, ONCE WE GET PRELIMINARY ADOPTION, SEE THAT THIS IS, THE COMMUNITY HAS REC, THE CITY MANAGERS RECOMMENDED, HAS GONE THROUGH THIS COMMITTEE, WE GIVE COUNCILS TIME TO, UH, WEIGH IN ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND THEN ONCE WE ARE PRETTY SURE WHAT WE HAVE AND OUR FINAL NUMBERS, THEN WE CAN START LINING OUT PROJECTS TO USE THAT MONEY AND, UH, THE PUBLIC FACILITIES.
ANOTHER THING ABOUT THAT, UH, IT ALLOWS US, THOSE ARE LIKE ONE TIME COSTS.
SO IF WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE THIS, GET THIS MONEY DEPLOYED INTO THE COMMUNITY, WE CAN MEET OUR 1.5 TESTS.
ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE CAN GET THIS MONEY OUT THE DOOR, THE, THE NEW CONTRACTS ARE RAMPING UP, AND THEN NEXT YEAR WE CAN PUT ALL THE DOLLARS BACK BECAUSE WE USE THIS FOR AT ONE TIME, AND IT'S NOT LIKE AN ONGOING COST.
SO WE ARE ABLE TO REALLOCATE THOSE FUNDS
[00:35:01]
AND DEPLOY THEM AS NEEDED.WILL THAT, WILL THOSE SELECTION OF PROJECTS COME BEFORE THIS COMMISSION OR IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS DO INTERNALLY OR? WE HAVE THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE.
THEN WE LAY IT OUT THERE AND THEY CAN REPORT OUT.
AND COMMISSIONER BOB, JUST TO CLARIFY, IT'S THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE OF THIS COMMISSION.
AND I WAS GONNA SAY, PARTICULARLY IN THIS YEAR WHERE WE'RE, WE'RE HAVING THIS BUMP UP, I, I WOULD THINK THE COMMITTEE WILL, WOULD WANT TO BE MEETING AND KEEP KEEPING UP WITH HOW THOSE PROJECTS ARE ROLLING OUT.
COMMISSIONER MILLS, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OKAY.
NO, MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED.
AGAIN, I COMPARE VERY GOOD, UH, PRESENTATION.
I WANT, UH, CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO LINE, UH, 19, I GUESS IN LINE FIVE, UH, TWO QUESTIONS.
HOW, UH, DO WE ESTIMATE HOW MANY, UH, HOUSEHOLDS WILL BE SERVED, UH, RELATIVE TO THE HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM? DO WE DO, DO, DO YOU KNOW, JUSTICE OR WE HAVE HOUSING STAFF ON THAT? THE QUESTION IS FOR THE HOUSING STAFF ON THE LINE, HOW DO WE ESTIMATE HOW MUCH THESE, THESE, UH, FUNDS, HOW MANY PEOPLE THE FUNDS WILL SERVE? JUSTICE? YOU WANT TO JUMP IN OR? YEAH, WE COULD, I CAN ANSWER THAT.
BASED ON WHAT COUNCIL APPROVED, EACH HOUSEHOLD CAN GET UP TO 50,000.
SO WE TAKE THE 50,000, BUT INTO HOW MUCH WE HAVE.
YEAH, THAT GAVE YOU THE AMOUNT OF HOUSEHOLD.
ASSUMING THAT EACH APPLICANT GETS UP TO THE MAXIMUM, SOME MAY GET LESS, BUT NOT MORE THAN 50,000.
AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
IF, UH, IF, UH, UH, THERE'S GONNA BE A, A, A REDUCTION, UH, FOR THAT LINE ITEM, BUT NO IMPACT TO CURRENT SERVICES.
SO WHAT HAPPENS IF, IF MONIES ARE REALLOCATED, UH, BUT WE HAVE MORE, MORE FAMILIES, UH, MAKE AN APPLICATION FOR HOME BUYERS, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLOCATE FUNDS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.
AND YEAH, THAT WAS A DISCUSSION, UH, AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT.
UM, IF THE NEED HAPPENS, WE HAVE, UH, THE BUDGET STARTS OCTOBER ONE.
WE START THE REPROGRAMMING PROCESS IN DECEMBER.
SO IF THERE'S A NEED, WE ARE ABLE TO SHIFT AND REALLOCATE FUNDS WITHIN HOUSING, ACTUAL RESOURCES, AND, UH, WITHIN OUR REPROGRAMMING OPPORTUNITIES.
SO WE'LL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT.
BUT THE, UH, CURRENT CONTRACT THAT'S IN PLACE, UH, WAS JUST, UH, APPROVED BY COUNCIL, LIKE THINK LAST MONTH.
SO THEY'LL HAVE THIS YEAR AND THEY HAVE ABOUT $900,000 RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'RE HOPING THAT AT $400,000 ALLOCATED EACH YEAR, THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO, WITH THE $900,000 THAT THEY HAD, UH, RECENTLY AWARDED, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE REST OF THIS FISCAL YEAR AND WE'LL CARRY 'EM THROUGH 26, 27.
BUT IF WE RUN INTO ANY CONCERNS OR THERE, YOU KNOW, RAMPING FUNDS ARE MOVING FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED, WE ALWAYS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLOCATE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? YES, COMMISSIONER.
MY QUESTION IS WITH THAT ADDITIONAL THREE, WITH THE $3 MILLION SHIFT THERE AND THAT 1.5 VARIABLE, DOES THAT, UH, THE, 'CAUSE THOSE ARE ALL SHOVEL READY, RIGHT? THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, ANYTHING NEEDED? DOES, DOES THAT INCREASE THE VELOCITY? I PREFER ONCE THE SHOVEL READY.
WE ASK WHEN DEPARTMENTS, UH, REQUEST FOR FUNDS.
WE DO ASK FOR A TIMELINE AND WE ASK FOR SHOVEL READY JUST TO MAKE SURE THE PROJECTS ARE MOVING.
WE DON'T HAVE MONEY PARKED SOMEWHERE.
DOES THAT COVER LAST YEAR'S, UH, SHORTFALL WHERE THE 1.5 CAME INTO PLAY? 'CAUSE IT HAD NOT BEEN SPENT? DOES THAT 3 MILLION ADD UP TO THAT? I MEAN, I SEE, I SEE THE VALUE TO THAT IN THE STRATEGY.
SO THE, THE, WE ARE GOING TO CORRECT THE 1.5 FROM THE PAST YEAR.
THESE DOLLARS ARE MOVING OR LOOKING AT WHAT WE RECEIVE FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND BY HAVING THEM IN A, UH, THIS CATEGORY FOR ONE TIME SHOVEL READY, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEPLOY THEM QUICKER.
RIGHT? THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, WAITING ON APPLICATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE, MANY OF THEM ARE CITY-OWNED FACILITIES.
WE HAVE NEEDS ASSESSMENTS IN THE HOPPER, JUST WAITING.
ALWAYS MORE NEEDS AND NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
SO THIS PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS SOME INELIGIBLE COMMUNITIES.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ANYONE ONLINE? OKAY.
THANK YOU ALL AND THANK YOU, SHANNON.

[00:45:01]
ANY PUBLIC SPEAKERS JOINED US AT THIS POINT? NO PUBLIC SPEAKERS HAVE JOINED.THEN I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP FOR ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS TO SHARE? COMMISSIONER BACH? WELL, REALLY JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE, THE WEEK COMING UP.
YOU KNOW, OTHER THAN THE TOUR, I CERTAINLY NOT GONNA MISS THAT.
ARE THERE ANY OF THE OTHER EVENTS THAT IT'S HELPFUL TO HAVE THE COMMISSIONERS THERE? OR IF NOT, THAT'S FINE TOO, BUT JUST DURING THE WEEK THAT WE'RE PLANNING, UH, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE WEEK.
SURE, YEAH, YEAH, EXACTLY, EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO IT'S ALWAYS APPROPRIATE AND CERTAINLY ADDITIVE TO HAVE A PRESENCE, BUT IT'S NOT MANDATORY.
SO SEE WHAT YOU, WHAT YOUR WEEK LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT YOU CAN DO.
IT'S ALWAYS ADDITIVE FOR THE PUBLIC OR FOR RESIDENTS TO SEE THAT COMMISSIONERS ARE ACTIVE AND AROUND.
WE'D CERTAINLY LOVE TO RECOGNIZE STAFF IF IT WORKS, BUT WE ALSO WANNA BE SENSIBLE TO TIME OBLIGATIONS.
THE GOAL IS IF INCOME ALLOWS FOR, FOR RETURN, BUT THERE'S NO ROLL CALL TAKE FOR TENDER.
RELEASED PROCLAMATION WILL BE A VERY QUICK, YOU KNOW, SO AGAIN, WANNA BE SENSITIVE TO TIME TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHERE YOU CAN.
UM, I WAS AT CITY HALL YESTERDAY FOR THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING AND UM, IT CAME TO EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION THAT, UM, CITY MANAGER TOLBERT SPOTTER HAD PASSED AWAY THE DAY BEFORE.
SO I WOULD JUST ASK THAT THE FELLOW COMMISSIONERS KEEP, UH, THE CITY MANAGER AND HER FAMILY IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND IN YOUR PRAYERS.
AND IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO SEND AN EMAIL TO US WITH HER, UH, HER EMAIL, UM, WE CAN SEND HER A NOTE.
I'LL ASK ABOUT GETTING HER EMAIL TO HER.
BUT YOU COULD, WE COULD ALSO, UM, GET A CARD AND CIRCULATE FOR THE COMMISSION TO SIGN AS WELL, OR AN E-CARD OR SOMETHING.
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT FOR, UH, SIGNATURES AT THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING.
ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? AND I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR TIME AND YOUR COMMITMENT AND THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 6:49 PM THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.
