Introduction
1. Purpose of this Document
The City of Meridian is a designated entitlement community by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). This designation allows the City to receive funds from HUD's
Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) Program. The 2009 program year will mark the
City's third year as an entitlement community.
Federal regulations (24 CFR § 91.200(a) and 91.220) require the City to submit an action plan
each year that describes how CDBG funds will be invested in the community. The 2009 Action
Plan was developed with a strong emphasis on community input, following the Citizen
Participation Plan set forth in Meridian's 2007 - 2011 Consolidated Plan. Through this planning
effort, the City has prepared the following strategy, which will guide program expenditures over
the next Program Year (PY); October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010.
2. City of Meridian CDBG Program Mission Statement
In accordance with the overarching goals of the CDBG program, as set forth in 24 CFR §
91.1(a)(1), the City's mission is to utilize CDBG funding to develop viable urban communities
by providing decent housing, providing a suitable living environment, and expanding economic
opportunities principally for low/moderate income (LMI) persons. The City's primary means
toward this end shall be to extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government
and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit organizations, in the production and
operation of affordable housing.
3. Consolidated Plan
A consolidated plan must be submitted every three to five years to receive federal CDBG funds.
The Consolidated Plan typically results from a collaborative process where a community can
scrutinize its current situation and establish a unified vision for community development actions.
It provides local jurisdictions an approach to shape various housing and community development
programs. The City of Meridian's Consolidated Plan spans program years 2007 through 2011
and addresses the community's most critical housing and community development needs.
4. Action Plan
For every year identified in the Consolidated Plan, the City of Meridian is required to prepare a
one-year Action Plan to notify citizens and HUD officials of the City's intended actions to occur
during that specific year. The PY2009 Action Plan identifies the objectives the City hopes to
achieve from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, and outlines the activities the City
will undertake to achieve those objectives.
City of Meridian, Idaho
2009 Action Plan
5. CAPER
At the end of each program year, the City of Meridian prepares a Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to provide information to its constituents and
HUD about that year's accomplishments. This information allows HiJD, city officials, and the
general public to evaluate the City's performance and determine whether the activities
undertaken during the year helped to (1) meet the City's five-year goals and (2) address priority
needs identified in the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. This annual performance
report, prepared with public review and comment, is submitted to HL1D annually no later than
December 31.
6. Submittal to HUD
In compliance with 24 CFR § 91.15(a), and in order to maintain continuity in its program and
provide accountability to citizens, the City shall submit this action plan no later than August 15,
2009. The City shall submit on an annual basis a summary of its citizen participation and
consultation process, an annual action plan, and all required certifications. At least every five
years, the City shall submit a housing and homeless needs assessment, market analysis and
strategic plan.

Executive Summary
As an Entitlement Community, the City of Meridian receives CDBG funds each year from the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Program Year 2009 (PY09) funding for
the City of Meridian is anticipated in the amount of $249,947.00. Funds will be used to address
priorities within the HUD performance measurement system to: (1) create a suitable living
environment for Meridian residents, (2) provide decent housing for Meridian residents and (3)
create economic opportunities for Meridian residents.
Activities planned in PY09 focus primarily on LMI beneficiaries. Meridian will invest CDBG
funds in public facility projects in LMI neighborhoodsl, homeownership assistance, and public
services (assistance for general services at the Meridian Food Bank, and a new transportation
service for kids at targeted schools to the Boys & Girls Club), all of which are LMI expenditures.
The two public facility projects planned in LMI neighborhoods are (1) a multi-use pathway along
Five Mile Creek from Fairview Avenue to Pine Avenue (within Census Tract 010321, Block
Group 1), and (2) equipment installation in Centennial Park (located just south of Census Tract
010321, Block Group 1)2.
The City will also support fagade improvements in the urban renewal area (URA), and devote the
remaining PY2009 funds to CDBG program administration.
Table 1 provides a general summary of activities planned in PY09.

2009 fiction Plan
1. Summary of PY 2009 Objectives and Outcomes
In Program Year 2009, the City will invest CDBG funds according to the following priorities.
Priority explanations, with rationale for their selection and relative order, follow each:
• PY09 Priority #1: Community Improvement (Suitable Living Environment)
Public facility projects that are available to the broader general public (i.e. not intended
for a specific group like seniors, or children) have been somewhat lacking in past years.
This year, the City will place a greater emphasis on this sort of public facility project to
ensure a more balanced distribution of available resources over time.
Public service activities are essential in the current economic climate. The Food Bank
has experienced a considerable increase in demand in recent months, and CDBG
assistance will be a tremendous help in allowing them to continue providing food to
area residents in need. The Boys and Girls Club provides food and countless other
activities and educationaUrecreational opportunities to children at the Club that may not
be available otherwise. Providing low-income children with a means to access these
services is a top priority.
• PY09 Priority #2: Economic Development (URA Revitalization)
Economic Development through revitalization of the URA is a top priority in order to
entice additional investment where it is needed most. The City feels that it is important
to continue implementing the URA revitalization strategy, and addressing blight is a
key component of that strategy.
• PY09 Priority #3: Affordable Housing (Homeownership)
The partnership with BCACHA in PY2008 was a huge success. Providing decent
housing is a primary component of the CDBG program, and housing costs are lower
than they have been in recent years. Continuing this partnership is the City's third
highest priority for the upcoming program year.

3. Summary of the Citizen Participation Process
The City of Meridian employs a comprehensive citizen participation process for all CDBG
projects and activities. The City solicits input from Meridian residents in all phases of its
Community Development efforts, from the initial planning and project/program implementation
to reporting and assessing accomplishments/outcomes. This process fosters the open and
inclusive identification of needs and delivery of services to City residents. It also helps to ensure
that the overall direction of the CDBG program is (1) consistent with residents' expectations and
(2) responsive to neighborhood concerns. A summary of this process is presented below as
identified in 24 CFR § 91.220(b). A complete copy of the Citizen Participation Plan can be
found in the Appendix of the 2007 - 2011 Consolidated Plan.
A. Participation
The City encourages citizen participation in all stages of the planning process. From the
drafting of the Consolidated Plan to the submittal of the annual Performance Evaluation
Report, the City hosts Public Meetings, provides draft copies of the Plan, encourages, accepts
and incorporates citizen input and feedback, and holds special public hearings whenever any
substantial amendments are proposed.
The City works with non-profit organizations to encourage the participation of program
beneficiaries, including low- and moderate-income residents. Bi-lingual services and
additional assistance for persons with disabilities are available upon request.
Ciry of i~feridian, Idaho
2009 fiction Plan
B. Public Meetings
The bulk of Meridian's Citizen Participation process occurs through public meetings.
Meridian CDBG staff hosts three public meeting during each phase of the funding cycle; one
in preparation for the Consolidated Plan and its annual update through the One-Year Action
Plan, one in conjunction with obtaining approval of the draft plans and the third with the
City's Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report process. These meetings give
residents an opportunity to comment on all aspects of CDBG program administration, as well
as all activities undertaken by the City. A similar public process ensues when substantial
amendments are proposed to the Consolidated or Annual Action Plans.
To solicit input on CDBG activities, the City publishes notices in the local newspaper, the
Valley Times, as well as the regional newspaper, the Idaho Statesman, two weeks prior to
each meeting. The notices include information about the availability of draft and final plans,
which are typically available for public review at City Hall, the Public Library, and the
Meridian Senior Center.
City staff also approaches City Council periodically at their weekly public meetings to obtain
feedback and direction on CDBG priorities, use of leftover funds, etc. This gives interested
citizens an additional way to stay informed on how the program evolves over the year.
C. Access to Information
The City posts all CDBG-related plans (including the Consolidated Plan, annual action plans,
and CAPERS) on its website for public review and scrutiny. The CDBG portion of the City's
website is located at http://www.meridiancity.org/planning.aspx?id=244.
Draft versions of all plans are available for review and comment by citizens, public agencies,
and other interested parties before they are considered and acted upon by City Council, and
submitted to HUD. Copies of draft and final reports are available free of charge at Meridian
City Hall. Requests for access to specific information can be made in advance and
coordinated with City personnel.
City staff is also available to persons or interested parties who require technical assistance in
understanding the Plan, the preparation of comments, the preparation of requests for funding,
or the process in general. Staff is readily available to receive and respond to any and all
questions, comments, or concerns that arise about the CDBG program throughout the year.
D. PY2009 Process
Several brainstorming meetings were held among City staff to identify potential projects that
meet the goals identified in the City's five year strategic plan. The City began developing its
PY09 Action Plan in February with informal meetings, project eligibility research, etc.
The City published notices in both the Idaho Statesman and Palley Times to announce apre-
draft public meeting that was held on June 15, 2009 at Meridian City Hall. No members of
the public attended the meeting.

E. Efforts to Broaden Public Participation
In addition to the steps outlined in the City's Citizen Participation Plan, staff also met with
several non-profit entities to discuss possible projects and activities. On February 12, 2009,
and again on April 16, 2009, staff met with the Meridian Faith Ambassadors, which is a
conglomerate of faith-based organizations interested in providing assistance to populations in
need, to discuss the CDBG program and process. Staff attended Meridian Development
Corporation Board meetings on March 11, 2009 to discuss facade improvements, and also on
May 13, 2009, for a more general presentation on use of CDBG funds. On May 20, 2009
staff gave a presentation to the Meridian Kiwanis Club on the intent of the CDBG program,
and possible projects and activities to pursue. Throughout this outreach effort, staff received
input that helped guide the formation of the PY09 Plan.
4. Summary of Public Comments
The City received a letter from BoiseCity/Ada County Housing Authority (BCACHA) dated July
16, 2009. The letter requested an increase in the amount of funding proposed for
homeownership assistance in the draft Action Plan. The draft Action Plan proposed $25,000.00
for this activity, and BCACHA requested $50,000.00. BCACHA reiterated this request with in-
person testimony at the July 21 public hearing.
The City decreased funding to a public facilities project in order to increase funding available for
homeownership assistance. An amount sufficient to increase funding to the extent requested was
not available in light of other priority activities, however, and BCACHA's subrecipient funding
was only increased to $35,000.00.

Geographic Distribution
Meridian's low-moderate income area is depicted in Appendix A.1. The area is bisected by Meridian
Road and Main Street, which, between the railroad and Cherry/Fairview, is the City's historic downtown
core. East and west of Meridian/Main, the area is primarily residential in character with the exception of
some light industrial uses adjacent to the rail line. Much of the single family/detached housing stock in
the area was constructed in the early to mid 1900's. There are also several multi-family complexes and
mobile home parks in the LMI area and immediate surrounding vicinity. The LMI Area is the focus of
location-specific activities for the upcoming program year. The City will spend 63.8% ($128,000) of
available PY09 funds on location-specific activities in this area (after removing the Administration and
Planning allocation of 20% from the total entitlement).
The following projects will occur in specific locations orpre-identified geographic area:
1. Centennial Park: The Park is located at 223 E. Idaho Avenue, just south of Census Tract 010321,
Block Group 1. The area surrounding the park consists primarily of single family, detached residential
units, with a limited amount ofmulti-family residential housing. A map of Centennial Park and the
surrounding area is included in Appendix A.3.
This project was selected because this residential area is underserved with parks and related recreational
amenities. This project will address that need and increase the level of service for residents in the area.
2. Five Mile Creek Pathway: This pathway segment will traverse along the east side of Five Mile Creek
from Fairview Avenue to Pine Avenue. The project is located in apre-designated LMI area as identified
by HUD (Census Tract 010321, Block Group 1). A map of the pathway alignment and surrounding area
is included in Appendix A.4.
3. Facade Improvements: The specific location of the fagade improvement project will be determined
by the Meridian Development Corporation Board. MDC's jurisdiction is the City's Urban Renewal
Area as established by City Council on August 27, 2002 and recognized by HUD on March 6, 2009. A
map of the Urban Renewal Area is included in Appendix A.2.
The remaining projects/activities for PY2009 are not tied to any specific geographic area.
City of Meridian, Idaho 14
2009 Action Plan
Additional Requirements
1. Affordable Housing
The City will partner with Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority (BCACHA) to expand affordable
housing opportunity in PY2009. The City will continue funding to BCACHA for homeownership
assistance to eligible prospective buyers identified through the Section 8 program. The homeownership
assistance activity, which was a great success in PY2008, will receive $35,000.00 for continuation in
PY2009. This will allow BCACHA to assist up to four eligible homebuyers in the upcoming program
year.
The City does not plan to provide monetary assistance for rental purposes in the upcoming program
year, but will continue to facilitate discussions with area residents and service providers.
2. Public Housing
The City does not plan to contribute monetarily to expanding public housing in PY2009, but will
continue to encourage homeownership for eligible buyers as described above, and participate in the
regional dialogue with neighboring communities and service providers to (1) define goals and formulate
a public housing strategy, (2) identify potential funding sources to implement that strategy, and (3)
involve new/broader segments of the community that have not been involved in such discussions in the
past.
3. Homeless and Other Special Needs
The City will invest PY09 funds to assist children from LMI families. The Boys & Girls Club will
receive public service assistance to implement an after school busing program to transport students from
Peregrine Elementary, Meridian Middle, and Meridian High to the Club every day after school. The
Club provides a wide variety of programs that will help to educate these children about social
interaction, health, academics, and general life skills. The Club provides meals, tutoring, recreational
programs, health education, and other activities. Lack of transportation is a primary reason for sporadic
or non-attendance at the Club, and many children who are unable to participate in the Club's many
activities are from working families with limited resources. These children often return home after
school to empty households with no supervision and at times no dinner because parents are at work.
The CDBG assisted after school transportation program will allow these at risk children to access the
many programs and activities the Club already provides.
In PY09, the City's efforts to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless
individuals and families, to prevent low-income individuals and families with children from becoming
homeless, to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, to
address chronic homelessness, and to address the special needs ofnon-homeless persons will occur
primarily through an ongoing partnership with the Boise City/Ada County Continuum of Care (CoC).
PY09 CDBG funds will not be invested in activities specifically targeted to these objectives. The City
will participate in the CoC to identify ways of supporting area housing providers' efforts to increase
affordable transitional and permanent housing facilities. As additional information is obtained regarding
homelessness within Meridian, the City will determine whether other federal, state or locaUprivate funds
can be leveraged with CDBG funding to effectively address these needs within the community in future
program years.
Ciry of Meridian, Idaho 15
2009 Action Plan
4. Barriers to Affordable Housing
While no CDBG funds will go to identifying or eliminating barriers to affordable housing, the City plans
to overhaul its Comprehensive Plan in the upcoming program year. Part of the effort will include a
reexamination of existing Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and objectives pertaining to affordable
housing. The housing component of the Plan rewrite will be guided by a housing sub-committee, which
will be the first active step toward establishing an affordable housing task force. The task force, after
assisting the City in retooling affordable housing policy, will continue working with the City to see that
the policies formulated in the upcoming program year are carried forward to implementation.
5. Other Actions
Over the course of the upcoming program year, the City will compile and disburse information on lead-
basedpaint hazards in order to (1) educate the public, (2) gauge the prevalence of lead paint
contamination, and (3) start to address the issue within the City. There is a wealth of information
already available from HUD, the State, neighboring communities, and various organizations that staff
will gather and make available at City Hall, on the City's website, and at other appropriate locations
throughout the community.
The City will continue to engage in the regional dialogue with neighboring communities and service
providers to identify and address underserved needs, maintain affordable housing, and reduce the
number of families living in poverty. Through the Comprehensive Plan rewrite, the City will examine
its own institutional structure and look for ways to enhance coordination between public and private
housing and social service agencies.
City of Meridian, Idaho 16
2009 Action Plan
Program-Specific Requirements
1. PY2009 CDBG Activities to Benefit LMI persons
The majority of PY09 expenditures will benefit LMI persons. Centennial Park improvements and the
Five Mile Creek Pathway will benefit LMI residents on an area basis, and homeownership assistance
and public services will do so on a clientele basis.
The locations of the affordable housing activities have yet to be determined. However, all housing
activities will benefit LMI clientele. Similarly, the Public Service activities are not restricted to
residents within any particular area. However, due either to documented recipient income (Boys & Girls
Club) or the nature and location of the service (Meridian Food Bank), all Public Service activities will
also benefit LMI clientele.
Both Public Facility projects -Centennial Park and Five Mile Creek Pathway -are intended to serve
LMI Areas. Although it is located just outside of the designated LMI Census Tracts, the City conducted
an income surve~ to confirm that more than 51 % of residents in Centennial Park's service area are from
LMI households . Five Mile Creek Pathway is within an eligible Census Tract and Block Group
(Census Track 010321, Block Group 1).
Maps of Meridian's LMI Census Tracts are found in Appendix A. Maps of the two Public Facility
projects are also included in Appendix A.
The City will spend a total of $160,000.00 on activities that benefit low-moderate income areas and
individuals in the upcoming program year. Cumulatively, that constitutes 80% of the City's PY09
entitlement (after removing the Administration and Planning allocation).
s Survey results show that 76% of residents within the Pazk's service azea aze from LMI households.
City of Meridian, Idaho 17
2009 Action Plan
Monitoring
The City will employ a combination of formal and informal procedures to ensure the effectiveness of the
CDBG program. Each activity in the PY2009 Action Plan is unique, requiring different steps and
participation of different partners. It is therefore difficult to standardize or establish a single procedure
to adequately monitor all activities. Luckily, due to the number of activities, City staff is able to provide
an appropriate level of attention to each activity to ensure that proposed activities adhere to program
goals and requirements, and impact the community in the intended manner.
The CDBG administrator will maintain regular contact with implementing partners and HUD staff to
ensure that activities proposed in the Action Plan (1) comply with CDBG program requirements, (2)
move forward on appropriate timelines, (3) adequately forward the goals and objectives in the
Consolidated Plan, and (4) are completed successfully. As potential issues are identified, City staff will
promptly contact our CPD representative to discuss appropriate ways to avoid and/or address any
problems.
To ensure compliance with federal regulations, including those regarding the timeliness of expenditures,
the program administrator will (1) update IDIS regularly as requests for payment disbursement and
activity reimbursement are received, (2) concurrently maintain a spreadsheet that tracks collective
CDBG expenditures among all program years, and (3) continue working with the Finance Department
on ways to refine and improve monitoring procedures.
The City will maintain detailed records to enable staff, HUD, auditors and the public to determine the
status of each funded activity, as well as the overall program.
The City will use a variety of techniques to monitor subrecipients and review for compliance.
Expectations will be clearly outlined in subrecipient agreements, tailored specifically to each activity
and subrecipient entity. Through phone conversations, written correspondence, desk monitoring, and
on-site monitoring visits, staff will review each subrecipient's ability to meet the program's financial,
production, and overall management requirements and make necessary determinations or take necessary
actions to preserve program integrity.
A full version of the City's monitoring plan is available in the 2007 - 2011 Consolidated Plan.
