Of the $99,945 that remains to be allocated, $13,238 is available for "public services" and $86,707 is available for "capital" and "rehabilitation" projects. Application Process Planning for the FY 2005 CDBG program and for the next three-year funding cycle began in December 2004, when staff sent requests for proposals to local non-profit agencies and City departments. Public hearing notices were published and articles were nm in local newspapers at that time. In collaboration with the City of Livermore, staff held two separate workshops in mid-January relative to the annual allocation process for CDBG funds (one in Pleasanton and one in Livermore). Both had the same format and agenda, and agencies had the option to attend either of the two workshops. The workshops provided information on several funding programs for local nonprofit agencies, with particular emphasis on the CDBG program (including the distribution of applications). The events were well attended, with approximately 60 agencies and/or individuals represented over the two days. The deadline for receipt ofPleasanton CDBG applications was Friday, February 14. A total of seven (7) new applications for FY 2005 CDBG funding were received from seven (7) separate agencies by the deadline. The individual applications are listed in Table C and are summarized in Attachment 1. Review Process As part of the review process established in 2000, the Human Services Commission (HSC) and Housing Commission (HC) mutually determined that new CDBG applications would be reviewed separately by each commission according to the type of application. Specifically, the HSC would review non-housing and/or service-related applications, while the HC would review applications that are specifically related to housing or housing projects. As shown in Table C, five (5) of the seven applications received were reviewed by the HSC on Wednesday, March 2, while the remaining two (2) were reviewed by the HC on March 17. At the two commission meetings, each applicant agency was given approximately five minutes to present its application and answer questions. As the citizen advisory bodies for the City's CDBG and HOME programs, the two commissions are forwarding their respective funding recommendations to the City Council for final approval. The final action taken by the Council will be sent to HUD in the form of a statement of the City's CDBG and HOME activities for FY 2005 as part of the HUD five-year "Consolidated Plan" and annual "Action Plan" for Pleasanton.
