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 FY2015-2019 Consolidated Plan was prepared through consultation with other public and private entities. At the countywide level, the HOME Consortium Technical Advisory Committee (HOMETAC), 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, which is an important document for the HOME Consortium. This Action Plan implements the Consolidated Plan priorities. Funding priorities 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 FY2018-2019 Housing and Human Services Grants (HHSG) Program were meetings held in December 2017 (discussion of priorities for the upcoming Housing and Human Services Grant, or HHSG, process), February 2018 (discussion of the process for reviewing and evaluating applications for HHSG funding), and March 2018 (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 2018, 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 serves 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 17th, 2018, City Council will hold a public hearing and approved recommendations for HHSG funding from the HSC and HC for projects to be included in the next Action Plan. At the same meeting,the Council will take action to approve the annual Action Plan for FY2018-2019 for submittal to HUD. DRAFT Annual Action Plan 7 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
