HOUSING / HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approve the CAPER for submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) following a public hearing before the City Council. SUMMARY: This report describes the CAPER process and makes a recommendation to submit the annual report to HUD pursuant to CDBG program requirements. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: Prior to fiscal year 1994 (94/95), the City of Pleasanton received its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through the Alameda County Urban County as a small city with a population less than 50,000. FY 1994 marked Pleasanton's first year as an "entitlement city," in which the City received its CDBG funds directly from HUD. The implications of this change included a substantial increase in funding as well as additional administrative requirements. One of the City's new responsibilities is the preparation of an annual performance report, now called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, or CAPER (this report has formerly been known variously as the APR and GPR). The CAPER is intended to provide a systematic format for reporting on the use of CDBG entitlement funds and is required by Section I 04( e) of the Housing and Community Development Act. The CAPER provides detailed information on the use of CDBG funds by subrecipients during the prior fiscal year. SR:05:275 Page 1 of3
