AP -10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1) 1. Introduction The Consolidated Plan and Action Plan is an important document for the HOME Consortium. Built on interagency coordination, consultation, and public participation, the Consolidated Plan focuses attention on housing and community development needs and resources available to meet these needs. The FY15 -FY19 Consolidated Plan was prepared through consultation with other public and private entities. At the countywide level, the HOME Consortium Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), composed of staff from all jurisdictions in the HOME Consortium, met bi- monthly to provide policy input into the Action Plan planning process. Additional countywide consultation efforts are discussed in detail in the Alameda County section of the Consolidated Plan is an important document for the HOME Consortium. This Action Plan implements the Consolidate Plan priorities. Funding priories are reviewed through two City commissions in addition to publication throughout the community and public hearing by City Council. The City commission review process for the application review, funding recommendation and award are summarized as follows: The City's Human Services Commission (HSC) is appointed by the City Council and holds public meetings monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. The HSC provides the main public forum for discussion of a range of issues related to public services in Pleasanton and the Tri- Valley region. Of specific relevance to the FY 2016/2017 Housing and Human Services Grants (CDBG)Program were meetings held in November 2015 (discussion of priorities for the upcoming Housing and Human Services Grant, or HHSG, process), February 2016 (discussion of the process for reviewing and evaluating applications for HHSG funding), and March 2016 (recommendation for HHSG funding for projects to be included in the next Action Plan). The City's Housing Commission (HC) is also appointed by the City Council and holds public meetings monthly on the third Thursday of the month. The HC is similar to the HSC but focuses on housing - related projects and issues. In March 2016, the HC developed a recommendation for HHSG funding for housing - related projects and programs to be included in the next Action Plan. The City Council served as the highest level decision making body for all matters related to the Consolidated Plan. The Council holds public meetings twice monthly on the first and third Tuesday of the month. On April 19, 2016, City Council will review and consider recommendations for HHSG funding from the HSC and HC for projects to be included in the next Action Plan.
