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 2010 program year will mark the City's fourth 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 2010 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, 2010 through September 30, 2011. 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. 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. The City will begin updating the Consolidated Plan in Program Year 2010. 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 PY2010 Action Plan identifies the objectives the City hopes to achieve from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011, and outlines the activities the City will undertake to achieve those objectives. C;itcT of 1~Ieridian, Idaho 2f~)10 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 HUD, 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 HUD 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 16, 2010. 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. Ci~:~ ~f '~1eric~ian, Tc1~l~~ J ' 2010 ~~ctio~~ Pla~~ 2 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 2010 (PY10) funding for the City of Meridian is anticipated in the amount of $274,368.00. Funds will be used to address priorities within the HUD performance measurement system to: (1) create a suitable living environment, (2) provide decent housing, and (3) create economic opportunities for the community. Non-administrative activities planned in PY10 focus entirely on LMI beneficiaries. Meridian will invest CDBG funds in a public facility .project in an LMI neighborhoods, homeownership assistance, and public services. The public facility project is construction of amulti-use pathway along Five Mile Creek from Fairview Avenue to Pine Avenue (within Census Tract 010321, Block Group 1). Public service assistance will be provided through the Meridian Food Bank. Homeownership Assistance will be undertaken by two area service providers; Ada County Housing Authority and Neighborhood Housing Services. In addition, the City will update its Consolidated Plan during the upcoming Program Year. Table 1 provides a general summary of activities planned in PY10.

Summary of PY 2010 Objectives and Outcomes In Program Year 2010, the City will invest CDBG funds according to the following priorities. Priority explanations, with rationale for their selection and relative order, follow each: • PY10 Priority #1: Suitable Living Environment ($160,000.00) In the 2010 Program Year, the City will focus on Availability/Accessibility of Suitable Living Environments in LMI neighborhoods with a Public Facilities activity. The City designed the Five Mile Creek Pathway, Segment H.l, which runs between Pine Avenue and Fairview Avenue, in Program Year 2009. The City plans to begin construction of this pathway in Program Year 2010. The proj ect will create a recreational and alternative transportation amenity in LMI Census Tract 101321, Block Group 2. The City will devote $120,000 toward construction of the pathway in PY2010. The City will also work toward Sustainability of Suitable Living Environments by investing CDBG funds in Public Service activities at the Meridian Food Bank. The Food Bank has experienced an increase in demand due to the recession, and CDBG assistance will help allow them to continue providing food to area residents in need. The Food Bank will receive $40,000 this Program Year. • PY10 Priority #2: Affordable Housing ($60,000.00) The City will continue its partnership with Ada County Housing Authority (ACHA) in PY2010. ACHA will receive $40,000 this Program Year to provide down payment and closing cost assistance to eligible homebuyers identified through the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program, thereby contributing to Affordablity of Decent Housing. In addition, the City will provide funds to NHS Lending, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) to grant down payment, closing cost, and related assistance to eligible LMI homebuyers who are not currently receiving Section 8 assistance. This will broaden homeownership opportunities for a different segment of Meridian's LMI population. NHS will receive $20,000 in PY2010. • PY10 Priority #3: Planning & Administration ($54,368.00) In addition to keeping the Program moving forward during PY2010, the City will also begin updating its five-year Consolidated Plan. As part of this effort, the City will likely invest Planning/Administration funds in preparing a housing market analysis, updating the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, and other related activities .

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 and stakeholder 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. Cin~ of Meridian, Idaho 2010 ~~ction Plan B. Public Meetings The bulk of Meridian's Citizen Participation process occurs through public meetings. Meridian CDBG staff hosts three public meeting during 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, 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:/lwww.meridiancit .or plate .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. PY2010 Process The City began identifying activities for the PY10 Action Plan in spring 2010 with requests for activity ideas, meetings, project eligibility research, etc. The City published notices in the Valley Times to announce apre-draft public meeting that was held on May 26, 2010 at Meridian City Hall. Eight individuals attended and discussed possible activity ideas and priorities, asked questions about the process, and provided input that rielped shape the draft Actiar~ Plan that went out for public comment. Cin7 of Meridian, Idaho 201 U ~~:ctit~~n I'la~~~ The following chronology summarizes the City's formal Public Participation efforts: • May 3, 2010: Contacted City Department Directors to request activity ideas. • May 14, 2010: Contacted past subrecipients and interested organizations to request activity ideas. • May 26, 2010: Conducted Pre-Draft Public Meeting. • June 18, 2010: Draft Action Plan released for public review and comment. • June 22, 2010: Opened public hearing and comment period for Draft Action Plan. • August 10, 2010: Closed public hearing and comment period and adopted Plan. 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 including Ada County Housing Authority, Neighborhood Housing Services, Meridian Food Bank, Meridian Boys & Girls Club, Meridian Community Garden, and the Meridian Senior Center, to discuss possible projects and activities. 4. Summary of Public Comments During the initial public hearing on June 22, 2010, Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) provided testimony supporting the draft Plan. NHS expressed appreciation for the City's proposed support of their organization. The Meridian Food Bank also provided testimony supporting the draft Plan. The City did not receive any other comments during the process. 5. Summary of Comments not Accepted Not Applicable. Cin} of Meridian, Idaho Zf ~1 Q ~~c~ior~ ~Pla~~ Resources 1. Federal, State and Local Resources CDBG and City general funds are available to support program activities. The City may consider additional partnerships with Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) and Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority (BCACHA) to leverage available resources and achieve maximum results. The following funding sources have been identified to help address the needs of low/moderate income (LMI) individuals and families. Some resources may be directly leveraged to help fund CDBG eligible activities, in which case all HUD regulations and requirements regarding matching will be satisfied, pursuant to 24 CFR § 91.220(c)(2). While other resources may not be able to contribute directly toward CDBG-eligible activities, they may be able to provide assistance to related support programs. These leveraged funds will be tracked and documented as part of the compliance monitoring process.

Cif- of Meridian, Idaho 13 2010 Action Plan Geo ra hic Distribution Meridian's low-moderate income area is depicted in Appendix A. l . The area is bisected b Meri y dean Road and Maln Street, which, between the railroad and Cherry/Fairview is the Cit 's historic down y town core. East and west of MeridianlMain, the area is primarily residential in character with the exce tion of p some light industrial uses adjacent to the rail line. Much of the single famil /detached housin stock in Y g the area was constructed in the early to mid 1900's. There are also several multi-famil com lexes a y p nd mobile home parks in the LMI area and immediate surrounding vicinit .The LMI Area is the focus of Y location-specific activities for the upcoming program year. The Cit wills end 72.7% $160 000 of y p ( ~ ) available PYIOfunds onlocation-specific activities in this area (after removin the Administration and o g Planning allocation of 20 /o from the total entitlement). The following projects will occur in specific locations orpre-identified geogra hic area: p 1. Five Mile Creek Pathway ($120,000.00): This pathway segment will traverse alon the east side g of Five Mile Creek from Fairview Avenue to Pine Avenue. The project is located in a re- p designated LMI area as identified by HUD (Census Tract 010321, Block Group 1). A ma of the p pathway alignment and surrounding area is included in Appendix A.2. 2. Meridian Food Bank ($40,000.00): The Meridian Food Bank is located at 15 E. Bower Street (see Appendix A.3). This location is near the geographic center of the City's LMI area, which makes it easily accessible for residents who can most likely benefit from the ser<~ices the Food Bank provides. The remaining projects/activities for PY2010 are not tied to any specific geographic area. City of Meridian. Idaho 14 ZQ10 Action Plan. Additional Requirements 1. Affordable Housing The City will partner with Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority (BCACHA to ex and affordable p housing opportunity in PY2010. The City will continue funding homeownershi assistance to eli ible p g prospective buyers identified through the Section 8 program. This activity, which was a reat success in g past program years, will receive $40,000.00 for continuation in PY2010. This will allow BCACHA to assist up to four eligible homebuyers in the upcoming program year. The City will also provide $20,000.00 to Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) to provide similar assistance (downpayment, closing cost, etc.) to eligible homebuyers who are not currently receiving Section 8 funds. The City does not plan to provide monetary assistance for rental purposes in the u comin ro ram p gp g 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 PY2010, 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 In PY2010, 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). PY2010 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 local/private funds can be leveraged with CDBG funding to effectively address these needs within the community in future program years. 4. Barriers to Affordable Housing In addition to completing an update of the City's Comprehensive Plan, a portion of which includes a reexamination of existing goals, policies, and objectives pertaining to affordable housing, the City will update the Consolidated Plan beginning this Program Year. The Consolidated Plan will include an updated market analysis and Analysis of Impediments to Affordable Housing, and the City is in preliminary discussions with Idaho Housing & Finance Association about linking this effort with a broader, statewide initiative. C'itt~ of Meridian, Idaho 15 ~O l ~ Action Plan 5. Other Actions Over the course of the upcoming program year, the City will compile and disburse information onlead- 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 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. Cite of Meridian, Idaho 16 Zo 10 .Action Plan. Program-Specific Requirements 1. PY2010 CDBG Activities to Benefit LMI persons All non-administrative expenditures this Program Year will benefit LMI residents and households. Affordable homeownership and the Meridian Food Bank will benefit the target population on a clientele basis, .and Five Mile Creek Pathway will do so on an area basis. The City's Planning & Administration funds will go in part to updating the City's Consolidated Plan, which will determine how the City will continue to serve LMI residents and households in the future. Cin~ of Meridian, Tdaho 17 ZQ 10 Action Plan Monitorin The City will employ a combination of formal and informal procedures to ensure the effectiveness of the CDBG program. Each activity in the PY2010 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 financial 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 (if necessary), 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.
