Title
Consider recommendations regarding 1) the Draft Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Annual Action Plan for the use of Federal Funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Programs; and 2) Fiscal Year 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendments, as follows:
a) Approve final submission of the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Annual Action Plan and the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendments to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by the HUD deadline of May 17, 2013;
b) Adopt a Resolution authorizing submittal of the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Annual Action Plan and Fiscal Year 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendments to HUD;
c) Authorize the County Executive Officer or designee to execute all certifications, standard forms and other related documents required for CDBG and ESG Program administration and implementation and for submittal to and approved by HUD of the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Annual Action Plan and Fiscal Year 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendments; and
d) Determine that the approval of the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Annual Action Plan and the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendments is not the approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), finding that the actions are not a project as they are the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment, and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption.
