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 2011 program year will mark the
City's fifth 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 2011 Action
Plan was developed with a strong emphasis on community input, and follows 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, 2011 through September 30, 2012.
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 a viable urban community
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 PY2011 Action
Plan represents the last year using the 2007 - 2011 Consolidated Plan; the City will compose a
new 2012 - 2016 Consolidated Plan in Program Year 2011.
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 PY2011 Action Plan identifies the objectives the City hopes to
achieve from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, and outlines the activities the City
will undertake to achieve those objectives.
City of Meridian, Idaho
2011 action Plan-Revised 1
5. CAP>CR
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,
2011. 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.

2011 ~lcrion Plan-Revised
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 2011 (PY2011) funding
for the City of Meridian is anticipated in the amount of $230,715.00. 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.
New this year, the CDBG Administrator formed an internal working group to review, score, and
rank the applications that submitted funding requests. The applications were scored and ranked
based on a matrix that provided weighted scoring to the more critical items in the application.
The following is a list of the items scored on the submitted applications: 1) goals and outcomes
of the proposed project, 2) the need that the proposed project addresses, 3) how the organization
plans to carry out the proposed project, 4) the capacity of the organization to implement the
proposed project, and 5) whether or not the organization is going to leverage any other funds for
the proposed project. The scoring criteria used by the working group were provided to the
applicants for informational purposes as part of the application form.
Non-adminishative activities planned in PY2011 focus primarily on LMI beneficiaries.
Meridian will invest CDBG funds in a public facility project in an LMI neighborhood,
homeownership assistance, public services, and economic development through the elimination
of blight. The public facility project is proposed to be the purchase of playground equipment for
an all-abilities playground in coordination with Meridian Elementary School and the Meridian
Boys & Girls Club. The playground is located within Census Tract 10322, Block Group 1.
Public service assistance will be provided through the Meridian Food Bank and Meridian Boys
& Girls Club. Homeownership Assistance will be undertaken by two area service providers:
Ada County Housing Authority and Neighborhood Housing Services. Blight will be addressed
on a spot basis incoordination with the Meridian Development Corporation's Facade
Improvement Program. In addition, the City will update its Consolidated Plan during the
upcoming Program Year.

PY2011 Priority #1: Suitable Livine Environment $109.600.00
In the 2011 Program Year, the City will focus on Availability/Accessibility of Suitable Living
Environments in LMI neighborhoods with a Public Facilities activity. The City is proposing to
allocate funds to Playground project at Meridian Elementary School, a public school. The
playground will be used by all the children at Meridian Elementary and will be specially
designed such that children with special needs (i.e. blind or visually impaired, in wheelchairs,
using walkers, etc.) can safely access a playground and interact with other children. The
proposed playground will be accessible to the general public during non-school days/hours and
will also be available for use by the Meridian Boys and Girls Club which is located directly next
door to the school. The project will create a recreational amenity directly in LMI Census Tract
10322, Block Group 1, but the amenity will serve the adjacent neighborhoods that are part of the
service area of Meridian Elementary School. The school boundary is considered to be the
service area of the new playground due to the location and use of the playground facility
primarily by the students of the school. The service area encompasses all three identified LMI
census block groups within the City, as well as one additional census block group. The LMI
population percentage for the four identified census block groups is 45.3%. This project will
receive $75,000 in funding, and the funding will be utilized to purchase the playground
equipment. The playground project team is currently in the processing of raising funds and will
leverage their other funding sources to pay for the construction and installation of the equipment
in addition to the other amenities proposed for this location.
The City will work toward Sustainability of Suitable Living Environments by investing CDBG
funds in Public Services activities at the Meridian Food Bank and the Meridian Boys and Girls
Club. 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 City is
allocating $24,600 toward this project. The Meridian Boys and Girls Club will provide
scholarships to LMI children to allow them to participate in fee-based programs/services at the
Club. The City is allocating $10,000 toward this project.

Economic Development through revitalization of the Urban Renewal Area (URA) is a top
priority to entice additional investment where it is needed most. The City believes that it is
important to continue implementing the URA revitalization strategy, and addressing blight is a
key component of that strategy. The City will partner with the Meridian Development
Colporation to complete anon-residential fagade improvement project to address blight in the
Urban Renewal Area. This project will be limited to exterior improvements or the correction of
code violations only, as specified in the CDBG Desk Guide. The City has researched and done
its due diligence on Slum and Blight Area (SBA) rules and regulations and to the best of the
City's knowledge, this activity qualifies as a SBA activity. The Meridian Development
Corporation will receive $40,000 in funding for this project.
OBJECTIVE EO3.1: Support the efforts of Meridian Development Corporation to implement
the Urban Renewal Area Plan in revitalizing downtown.

2011 Action Plan-Revised
Should any of the above-proposed activities not move forward, the City may pursue the
following "fall-back" activity(s) during the upcoming Program Year:
PY2011 Priority #1: Suitable Livine lnnvironment
If a project fails to advance during the coming year, the City is proposing two pedestrian lighting
projects as possible "fall-back" activities. The first roadway segment proposed for pedestrian
lighting is Chevy Lane along the frontage of Meridian Middle School. School Administration
officials have indicated that there is extremely limited lighting along this roadway segment, and
that there have been many safety concerns for the students walking to and from the school. The
approximate cost of lighting this segment is $39,000. The second roadway segment proposed for
pedestrian lighting would be on Camellia and Washington from just east of Linder Road to 8m
Street. This is a primary walking route for students at both Meridian High School and Meridian
Middle School. By improving the lighting on this roadway segment, it would enhance the safety
conditions for students at both schools. The approximate cost of lighting this segment is
$36,000. Both roadway/lighting segments are within Census Tract 10322, Block Group 1.
OBJECTIVE SLl .1: Invest in public facility projects that help create a suitable living
environment in LMI neighborhoods.
OUTCOMES: Availability/Accessibility of a Suitable Living Environment.

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 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.
City of Meridian, Idaho
2011 Action Plan-Revised
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 newspapers, the
Valley Times and 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, the Meridian Senior Center, and on the City's
website.
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 throughout 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 httn://www.meridiancity.or /g cdbg/
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. PY2011 Process
The City began identifying activities for the PY2011 Action Plan in spring 2011 with
requests for activity ideas, meetings, project eligibility research, etc. The City hosted a
CDBG Workshop for past and potential future subrecipients on April 29, 2011 to provide
information on the program and solicit project ideas. Thirteen individuals attended
representing nine organizations.
The City published notices in the Valley Times and The Idaho Statesman to announce apre-
draft public meeting that was held on June 7, 2011 at Meridian City Hall. Nine individuals
City of Meridian, Idaho
20t 1 Action Plan-Revised 10
attended and discussed possible activity ideas and priorities with staff and the City Council.
The input provided helped shape the draft Action Plan that went out for public comment.
The following chronology summarizes the City's formal Public Participation efforts:
• April 18, 2011: Contacted City Departrrlent Directors to request activity ideas.
• Apri129, 2011: Hosted CDBG Workshop for past subrecipients and interested
organizations to learn about the Program and solicit activity ideas.
• June 7, 2011: Conducted Pre-Draft Public Meeting.
• June 21, 2011: Draft Action Plan released for public review and comment.
• June 21, 2011: Opened public hearing and comment period for Draft Action Plan.
• July 26, 2011: Closed Draft Action Plan public hearing and comment period
• July 26, 2011: City Council Adopted Program Year 2011 Action 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, and the Meridian Senior
Center, to discuss possible projects and activities.
4. Summary of Public Comments
The following individuals testified in support of the draft plan at the June 21, 2011 public
hearing:
• Colleen Braga, Director of Ada County Bays and Girls Club
• Marcus Myers, Principal of Meridian Elementary School
• Jana Rangel, Teacher at Meridian Elementary School
• Liz Warner, Director of Meridian Food Bank
5. Summary of Comments not Accepted
Greg Morris, Director of the CATCH Program, and Jeannie Buschine from the Meridian School
District testified on behalf of the Charitable Assistance to Community's Homeless (CATCH)
Program. The CATCH Program applied for public service funding to fund apart-time staff
person in Meridian to coordinate housing and social services for families in Meridian
experiencing homelessness. After listening to all the testimony, the City Council decided to not
fund the CATCH Program with CDBG public selvice funds.

the students of the elementary school, the adjacent Boys and Girls Club members, and the residents
of the identified census block groups. The land has been secured and the design of the playground
has been donated by a local landscape architect. The playground will be used by the students at
Meridian Elementary School, as well as the Meridian Boys and Girls Club. In addition, the school is
ensuring that the playground will be open and accessible to the community during non-school hours.
The playground is located within the LMI Census Tract 10322, Block Group 1.

2011 Action Plan-Revised
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 due to the fact that this identified area has the
greatest needs for improvements and services within Meridian. The City will spend approximately 81%
($149,600) of available PY2011 funds onlocation-specific activities in this area (after removing the
Administration and Planning allocation of 20% from the total entitlement). According to current census
data, there are no significant concentrations of racial or minority groups.
The following projects will occur in specific locations or pre-identified geographic area:
1. Playground at Meridian Elementary School ($75,000). This playground will be located on
property owned by the Meridian Elementary School located at 1035 NW 1st Street. The project is
located in apre-designated LMI area as identified by HUD (Census Tract 10322, Block Group
I). The City may choose to advance public facility improvement projects within the designated
LMI area of the City if other projects do not move forward during the program year. The total of
these projects and/or the above identified playground project will total no more than $75,000.
2. Food Bank ($24,600.00): The Meridian Food Bank is located at 15 E. Bower Street (see
Appendix A.2). 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 services the Food Bank
provides.
3. Meridian Boys & Girls Club Scholarships ($10,000): The Meridian Boys and Girls Club is
located at 911 N. Meridian Road (see Appendix A.2). This location is in apre-designated LMI
area as identified by HUD (Census Tract 10322, Block Group 1).
4. Facade Improvement ($40,000): The specific location of a facade improvement project will be
determined by the Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) 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.3.
The remaining projects/activities for PY2011 are not tied to any specific geographic area.

2011 Action Plan-Revised
Additional Requirements
L Affordable Housing
The City will partner with Ada County Housing Authority (ACHA) to expand affordable housing
opportunity in PY2011. The City will continue funding homeownership assistance to eligible
prospective buyers identified through the Section 8 program. This activity, which was a great success in
past program years, will receive $15,000.00 for continuation in PY2011. This will allow ACHA to
assist one eligible homebuyer in the upcoming program year.
The City will also provide $20,000.00 to Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) to provide similar
assistance (down payment, 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 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 PY2011, 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 PY2011, 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/Ado County Continuum of Care (CoC).
PY2011 CDBG funds will not be invested in activities specifically targeted to these objectives primarily
because of the relatively small amount of its formula grant. In addition, the City is not a recipient of
HOPWA formula grants.
The City will participate in the CoC to identify ways of supporting area housing providers' efforts to
increase affordable transitional and permanent housing facilities. The Boise City/Ado County
Continuum of Care (CoC) works to provide supportive housing services to address the reasons for a
persons' homelessness, which may include mental illness, disabilities, or fleeing from domestic
violence. This CoC operates within Ada County, in which the City of Meridian is located. 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. So while the City has not set specific numeric
goals to assist special needs populations during Program Year 2011, it does provide support for and
coordinate with an existing CoC that does provide these supportive services. If one of the proposals the
City chooses to fund under the CDBG grant should specifically benefit a Special Needs population (s),
quantifiable goals will be established during the contracting phase.

2011 Action Plan-Revised
4. Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City will update the Consolidated Plan during PY2011. The Consolidated Plan will include an
updated market analysis and Analysis of Impediments to Affordable Housing, and the City is in
discussions with Idaho Housing & Finance Association about linking this effort with a broader,
statewide initiative.
5. Other Actions
Over the course of the upcoming program year, the City will compile and disburse information on lead-
based paint 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.
6. Impediments to Fair Housing
The City of Meridian, along with the other entitlement conununities in Idaho, is coordinating with the
Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) for a statewide Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing study. In addition, the City will be conducting its own AI during the program year as part of
preparing a new Five Year Consolidated Plan. The City will look to implement the actionable
objectives from its individual AI in order to positively promote fair housing and to work to correct
barriers to fair housing.

Program-Snecitic Requirements
1. PY2011 CDBG Activities to Benefit LMI persons
The majority (78%) ofnon-administrative expenditures this Program Year will benefit LMI residents
and households. Affordable homeownership, the Meridian Boys and Girls Club scholarship program,
and the Meridian Food Bank will benefit the target population on a clientele basis, and the All-Abilities
Playground or other public facility projects 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.
Monitoring
The City will employ a combination of formal and informal procedures to ensure the effectiveness of the
CDBG program. Each activity in the PY2011 Action Plan is unique, requiring different steps and
participation of different partners.
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 is acutely aware of the necessity to expend funds in a timely manner. Staff communicates this
necessity and importance thereof to its sub-recipients in the review of the sub-recipient agreements,
during on-site monitoring visits, and during on-going discussion throughout the program year. Sub-
recipients are made aware of the fact that if funds are not expended in a timely manner that their CDBG
funding may be in jeopardy or that they may not be eligible for funding in future program years. The
City works closely with its sub-recipients to understand the issues that may affect their timely
expenditure of funds and assists the sub-recipients, as it is able, to address the issues.
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.
Ciry of Meridian, Idaho 19
2011 Action Plan-Revised
The City will-use a variety of techniques to monitor subrecipients and review for compliance. The City
recently updated its monitoring policy and procedure based on comments received from HUD from their
monitoring visit to the City in 2010. The City will follow the new procedure during this and subsequent
program years. Expectations will be clearly outlined in sub-recipient 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 sub-recipient'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.

ESG Certifications
I, Mayor Tammy de Weerd, Chief Executive Officer of the City of Meridian, Idaho, certify that the
local government will ensure the provision of the matching supplemental funds required by the regulation at
24 CFR 576.51. I have attached to this certification a description of the sources and amounts of such
supplemental funds.
I further certify that the local government will comply with:
1. The requirements of 24 CFR 576.53 concerning the continued use of buildings for which Emergency
Shelter Grants are used for rehabilitation or conversion of buildings for use as emergency shelters for the
homeless; or when funds are used solely for operating costs or essential services.
2. The building standards requirement of 24 CFR 576.55.
3. The requirements of 24 CFR 576.56, concerning assurances on services and other assistance to the
homeless.
4. The requirements of 24 CFR 576.57, other appropriate provisions of 24 CFR Part 576, and other
applicable federal laws concerning nondiscrimination and equal opportunity.
5. The requirements of 24 CFR 576.59(b) concerning the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970.
6. The requirement of 24 CFR 576.59 concerning minimizing the displacement of persons as a result of a
project assisted with these funds.
7. The requirements of 24 CFR Part 24 concerning the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988.
8. The requirements of 24 CFR 576.56(a) and 576.65(b) that grantees develop and implement procedures
to ensure the confidentiality of records pertaining to any individual provided family violence prevention
or treatment services under any project assisted with ESG funds and that the address or location of any
family violence shelter project will not be made public, except with written authorization of the person or
persons responsible for the operation of such shelter.
9. The requirement that recipients involve themselves, to the maximum extent practicable and where
appropriate, homeless individuals and families in policymaking, renovating, maintaining, and operating
facilities assisted under the ESG program, and in providing services for occupants of these facilities as
provided by 24 CFR 76.56.
SO. The requirements of 24 CFR 576.57(e) dealing with the provisions of, and regulations and procedures
applicable with respect to the environmental review responsibilities under the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 and related authorities as specified in 24 CFR Part 58.
11. The requirements of 24 CFR 576.21(a)(4) providing that the funding of homeless prevention activities for
families that have received eviction notices or notices of termination of utility services will meet the
requirements that: (A) the inability of the family to make the required payments must be the result of a
sudden reduction in income; (B) the assistance must be necessary to avoid eviction of the family or
City of Meridian, Idaho 47
2011 fiction Plan-Revised
termination of the services to the family; (C) there must be a reasonable prospect that the family will be
able to resume payments within a reasonable period of time; and (D) the assistance must not supplant
funding for preexisting homeless prevention activities from any other source.
12. The new requirement of the McKinney-Vento Act (42 USC 11362) to develop and implement, to the
maximum extent practicable and where appropriate, policies and protocols for the discharge of persons
from publicly funded institutions or systems of care (such as health care facilities, foster care or other
youth facilities, or correction programs and institutions) in order to prevent such discharge from
immediately resulting in homelessness for such persons. I further understand that state and local
governments are primarily responsible for the care of these individuals, and that ESG funds are not to
be used to assist such persons in place of state and local resources.
13. HUD's standards for participation in a local Homeless Management Information System (HMIs) and the
collection and reporting of client-level information.
I further certify that the submission of a completed and approved Consolidated Plan with its certifications,
which act as the application for an Emergency Shelter Grant, is authorized under state and/or local law, and
that the local government possesses legal authority to carry out grant activities in accordance with the
applicable laws and regulations of'the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

APPENDIX TO CERTIFICATIONS
Instructions Concerning Lobbying and Drug-Free Workplace Requirements
Lobbying Certification
This certificatlon is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered Into.
Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S.
Cade. Any person who fails to file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more
than $100,000 for each such failure.
Drug-Free Workplace Certification
3. By signing and/or submitting this application or grant agreement, the grantee is providing the certification.
4. The certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed when the agency awards the grant. If it is
later determined that the grantee knowingly rendered a false certification, or otherwise violates the requirements of the Drug-
Free Workplace Act, HUD, in addition to any other remedies available to the Federal Government, may take action authorized
under the Drug-Free Workplace Act.
S. Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be identified on the certificatlon. If known, they may be
identified in the grant application. If the grantee does not identify the workplaces at the time of application, or upon award, if
there is no application, the grantee must keep the identity of the workplace(s) on file in Its office and make the information
available for Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's drug-free
workplace requirements.
6. Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or parts of buildings) or other sites where work under the
grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g., all vehicles of a mass transit authority or State highway
department while in operation, State employees in each local unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio
stations).
7. If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of the grant, the grantee shall inform the agency of
the change(s), if it previously identified the workplaces in question (see paragraph three).
8. The grantee may insert In the space provided below the site(s) for the performance of work done in connection with the specific
grant: Place of Performance (Street address, city, county, state, zip code)
Check if there are workplaces on file that are not identified here. The certification with regard to the drug-free workplace is
required by 24 CFR part 21.

Meridian Cit Hall 33 E. Broadwa Meridian Ada ID 83642
9. Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment common rule and Drug-Free Workplace common rule
apply to this certification. Grantees' attention is called, in particular, to the following definitions from these rules: "Controlled
substance" means a controlled substance in Schedules I through V of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and as further defined by regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through
1308.15); "Conviction" means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo contendere) or Imposition of sentence, or both, by any
judicial body charged with the responsibility to determine violations of the Federal or State criminal drug statutes; "Criminal
drug statute" means a Federal or non-Federal criminal statute involving the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, use, or
possession of any controlled substance; "Employee" means the employee of a grantee directly engaged in the performance of
work under a grant, including:
a. All "direct charge" employees;
b. all "indirect charge" employees unless their impact or involvement is insignificant to the performance of the grant; and
c. temporary personnel and consultants who are directly engaged in the performance of work under the grant and who are on
the grantee's payroll. This definition does not include workers not on the payroll of the grantee (e.g., volunteers, even if
used to meet a matching requirement; consultants or independent contractors not on the grantee's payroll; or employees of
subrecipients or subcontractors in covered workplaces).
