AP -12 Participation — 91.105, 91.200(c) <br />1. Summary of citizen participation process /Efforts made to broaden citizen participation <br />Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal- setting <br />The City maintains (in collaboration with our neighbor cities of Livermore and Dublin) an on -going data <br />base of over 200 nonprofit agencies and other parties who have expressed an interest in the Housing <br />and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program (which serves as the local umbrella program for allocating <br />federal CDBG and HOME funds). The City held two joint application workshops in collaboration with the <br />cities of Livermore and Dublin in early December 2015. Notices regarding the workshops were mailed <br />directly to agencies and persons in the aforementioned data base, and notices were also published in <br />the key local newspapers and on city web sites prior to the workshops. At the workshops (which had <br />identical agendas and formats), staff from each city discussed all aspects of the HHSG program and <br />disbursed application packets along with city- specific policy and procedures manuals. <br />HHSG applicants attended meetings before either Pleasanton Human Services Commission (March 2, <br />2016) or the Pleasanton Housing Commission (March 17, 2016) for funding consideration. The <br />Commissions considered the applications and formulated funding recommendations for consideration <br />by the Pleasanton City Council. The funding recommendations will be considered by the Council in a <br />public hearing in April 2016, at which time the FY 2016 Action Plan will be considered for approval. All <br />meetings were noticed in the Valley Times, a newspaper of general circulation, as well as in the <br />Pleasanton Weekly, a local paper that is delivered to all Pleasanton residents. Alameda County also <br />published notices regarding the overall Action Plan (which includes all entitlement cities and the urban <br />county) in ANG newspapers throughout the County. Copies of the draft Action Plan were provided to the <br />main Library and City Hall in Pleasanton for public review. A 30 -day public review period, coordinated by <br />Alameda County HOME Consortium, was held from late March through the end of April 2016. <br />Annual Action Plan <br />2016 <br />OMB Control No: 2506 -0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) <br />17 <br />
