ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:15 p.m. ________________________________ Kristine Lawler, City Clerk COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CDBG) PROGRAM INCOME (PI) REUSE AGREEMENT Execution of the this PI Reuse Agreement by both the Jurisdiction and the California, State Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) provides official notification of the Department’s approval for the Jurisdiction to expend PI funds under the State’s administration of the federal Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) for (1) state non-entitlement jurisdictions; and (2) former state non- entitlement jurisdictions that are now entitlement jurisdictions;, pursuant to the provisions of 42 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) 5301 et seq., 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 570, Subpart I, and 25 California Code of Regulations (CCR), Sections 7050 et seq. CDBG funding is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance as 14.228 - CDBG Community Development Block Grant Program. The Agreement also includes asset repayments from activities administered under DRI contracts. By completing this PI Reuse Agreement and signing the end of this document, the Authorized Representative certifies the Jurisdiction has read, understands and will adhere to the Program Income (PI) Reuse Overview and Process discussed in the first section of this document, the Jurisdictional Certifications in the second section of this document, and Department of Housing and Community Development (hereinafter Department) terms and conditions in the third section of this document. SECTION ONE: OVERVIEW AND PROCESS JURISDICTION: GOVERNING BODY ADOPTED ON: This PI Reuse Agreement establishes policies and procedures for the administration and utilization of PI received as a direct result of eligible activities funded under CDBG and DRI contracts with the Department. For payments generated under DRI contracts, while the funding was loaned under DRI, when a payment is received, per DRI regulation, the payment becomes CDBG program income. Applicability of this Agreement: This PI Reuse Agreement between the Jurisdiction and Department is required by CDBG federal regulation. This Agreement allows Jurisdictions receiving repayments f rom CDBG and DRI assets to spend those PI funds in the absence of an active Department CDBG grant contract. This Agreement applies to all current Department- eligible Non-Entitlement Jurisdictions and HUD Entitlement Jurisdictions that are still receiving Non-Entitlement PI revenue from previous State grants (CDBG and/or DRI). CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 2 of 40 RECEIPT OF PROGRAM INCOME Pursuant to the definition of program income found at 24 CFR 570.489(e)(2), repayments of assets generated from use of CDBG funds received by the Jurisdiction f rom the Department are PI. These repayments of loans, lease payments, and proceeds of asset sales will be deposited into one of three separate local PI accounts depending on what activity generated the PI. It is possible that the Jurisdiction may have up to three separate accounts with which to manage PI. 1. If the Jurisdiction has a Department approved Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) for Housing and/or ED, any PI from Housing or ED activities must be deposited into the RLF associated with the activity that generated the PI. This means: a. Housing PI must be deposited into the Housing RLF. b. ED PI must be deposited into the ED RLF. Note: The accounts for each RLF must be separate accounts, however they both must be interest bearing. 2. If RLF(s) are not approved for use, the Jurisdiction must deposit all CDBG repayments into a single regular PI account which must be separate from either of the RLF accounts, but it must also be interest bearing. 3. If repayment comes from a loan or asset that was originally paid with CDBG and non-CDBG funds, the PI accounting and reporting must reflect the correct amounts and proportions of CDBG PI and non-CDBG funds invested in the asset. Only the CDBG portion of the repayment is deposited into one of the three PI accounts. OVERVIEW OF WAYS TO USE PROGRAM INCOME There are five (5) ways to manage PI under the Agreement. They are: 1. Expend PI and RLF monies first on active grant contract activities; 2. Expend PI General Administration (PI GA) for GA Activities (up to allowable limits) 3. Expend through an approved PI Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) 4. Expend PI on an approved waiver activity when no active contract is in force; 5. Return PI annually to the Department. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that PI will be expended first when there is an active grant contract with the Department. PI being received when there is no active grant contract will be deposited into separate accounts for approved activities under this Agreement (via GA, PI W aiver or RLF) and only be distributed and expended, as follows: 1. Expend PI and RLF Monies First on Active Grant Contract Activities: CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 3 of 40 If the undersigned Jurisdiction has an active grant contract with the Department, all PI on hand must be expended on open grant activities, prior to requesting grant funds f rom the Department. If the undersigned Jurisdiction has a Department approved PI Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) per this Agreement, and has an active grant contract which includes the same eligible CDBG activit y as the RLF, the RLF monies must be expended f irst before requesting any contract funds from the Department. PI must always be expended first on active contract activities, prior to requesting grant contract funds. See the Chapter on Program Income and Revolving Loan Funds in the Department’s CDBG Grant Management Manual for additional information regarding use of PI to pay costs for activities under an active grant contract in the Department. 2. Expend PI General Administration (PI GA) for GA Activities (up to allowable limits) The undersigned Jurisdiction must track a calculation of up to seventeen percent (17%) of PI received annually for eligible GA costs. However, the seventeen percent (17%) PI GA only applies to PI received that is not generated by a RLF activity. Since all PI must be expended first, GA funds cannot be held and used only as PI GA costs are incurred. All PI must be spent on the next funds request submitted. Thus, the Jurisdiction can choose to keep an accounting of the total amount of PI GA available for use based on all regular PI received. PI GA funds cannot be used for planning studies or technical assistance activities, these activities can only be funded under awarded grant contracts. See the Program Income Chapter for further details on eligible PI GA activities under this Agreement. 3. Expend PI through an approved PI Revolving Loan Fund (RLF): To establish one or both of the RLFs discussed below, the undersigned Jurisdiction must submit formal written request for Department approval using the required process included with this Agreement. The undersigned Jurisdiction agrees to all the Department’s RLF requirements as stated in this Agreement and detailed in the GMM Chapter. The tw o RLFs and their corresponding definitions, as permitted by this agreement, are: CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 4 of 40 1) Housing Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Eligible housing activities under this RLF include: I. Housing Rehabilitation - Single Unit Residence program for owner and/or tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 14A. II. Housing Rehabilitation - 2-4 Units program for tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 14B. III. Housing Acquisition - Single Family program for homebuyer assistance. Matrix code 13. 2) Economic Development (ED) Revolving Loan Funds (RLF) Eligible ED activities under this RLF include: i. Business Assistance program (direct financial assistance to a for-profit business). Matrix code18 A; and ii. Microenterprise Financial Assistance (loans). Matrix code 18C. The undersigned Jurisdiction will provide program guidelines for all eligible RLF activities as part of the approval process when obtaining Department approval of a RLF. Department written approval must be received before incurring any activit y or activity delivery costs associated with implementing any activities under the approved RLF. All approved RLF projects, will be required to be reported to the Department via the applicable CDBG Set-up/Completion reports. 4. Expend PI on an Approved PI Waiver Activity w hen no active contract is in force. The undersigned Jurisdiction may only utilize the Department’s PI W aiver process when it has no active grant contracts with the Department. Once there are no active contracts with the Department, the undersigned Jurisdiction can have up to two active eligible CDBG activities approved by the Department, for which PI may be expended. W aivers will consist of a single program, service or single project activity. If it is a single program activity, it cannot be the same program activity as funded under an approved RLF. The undersigned Jurisdiction will follow all PI W aiver procedural requirements as stated in the Program Income Chapter of the Grant Management Manual (GMM). W ritten Department approval is required before expending any PI funds on a W aiver activity. Each W aiver activity must clear the activity General and any Special Conditions which include federal overlays as posted on Department’s webpage. A PI W aiver project can only be approved if the total project / program cost for CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 5 of 40 the proposed activity is on hand in the Jurisdiction’s PI account. Future PI may not be committed for PI W aivers. The undersigned Jurisdiction understands that PI W aiver activities are limited to two active projects, services and/or programs, and will remain active until close out has been completed and approved by the Department. Each approved W aiver activity will be set up with the Department using current Set-Up Report. The undersigned Jurisdiction understands if they receive a subsequent award of CDBG funds, upon execution of the new grant contract all waiver activities are to be completed f irst, af ter which, PI must be expended f irst on the active grant contract activities. PI W aivers will not be included in the grant, because Supplemental activities will be included in contracts. 5. Return PI to the Department The undersigned Jurisdiction has the option to return PI back to the Department. However, semi-annual and annual reports are still required to confirm PI being returned. Intentionally left blank, please continue to the next page. CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 6 of 40 SECTION TWO: CERTIFIC ATION FOR PROCESS AND USE OF PROGRAM INCOME Since CDBG is a federal funding source, Citizen Participation is required when utilizing any of the five (5) ways to use PI listed above. Those requirements are incorporated below. The certifies that: 1.

Citizen Participation: Each of the processes discussed in this Agreement will be carried out in compliance with the CDBG Citizen Participation process as specified in federal regulations at 24 CFR 570.486, and Jurisdiction’s public hearing requirements. 3. Governing Compliance: The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies the administration of all CDBG eligible activities conducted under the above described W ays to Spend PI, will be conducted in compliance with all current State and federal regulations and policies, including all applicable Grant Management Manual (GMM) chapters and Department Management Memos. 4. Ineligible Activities and Costs: The undersigned Jurisdiction acknowledges that if ineligible activities or costs are paid f or with CDBG PI, those funds must be returned to the Jurisdiction’s PI or RLF account (whichever account expended ineligible funds) using local Jurisdiction funds. The undersigned Jurisdiction acknowledges that ineligible activities or costs paid for with PI under an active grant contract must be repaid to the Department using local non-federal funds. 5. Jurisdictions Leaving the State Non-Entitlement Program and Jurisdictions Entering the State Non-Entitlement Program: CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 7 of 40 The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that it will follow these procedures when leaving or entering the State CDBG Program: A. 24 CFR 570.489(e)(3)(iii) Transfer of program income to Entitlement program. Jurisdictions that are entitlement communities or part of an urban agreement, or grantees that at a later date become an entitlement community or join a urban agreement, have the following options for PI and RLFs: PI not associated with a RLF, the jurisdiction must: 1) Complete the process to certify they will be reporting the State PI into the Entitlement Programs process, including receipting the CDBG proceeds into IDIS, or, 2) Return all State CDBG Program Income to the Department, the amounts on hand once the HUD agreement is signed and as it is received until all PI generated by State CDBG funding has been returned. PI in an approved RLF: Entitlement jurisdictions and those who are part of an urban agreement may keep their RLF(s) and monies within an RLF as long as the following is met: 1) They have a State Reuse Plan (Agreement) signed by the Department and the City/County Authorized Representative. 2) Agree to operate the RLF under the Department’s RLF rules going forward 3) Report all expenditure, and accounting of RLF(s) as required by the Department. 4) The Jurisdiction shall be required to have loan servicing policies and asset management policies and procedures, pursuant to the Department’s Grant Management Manual Chapter on Asset and Real Property Management B. 24 CFR 570.489(e)(3) (iv) Transfer of program income of grantees losing Entitlement status. Upon entry into the State CDBG program, a unit of general local CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 8 of 40 government that has lost or relinquished its Entitlement status must submit a letter to the department, signed by the Authorized Representative stating which of the following options the jurisdiction will be implementing. Keep in mind, that retaining Entitlement PI while participating in the State CDBG program will require PI reporting f or both sets of funding. Entitlement PI and any PI generated by State CDBG fund cannot be comingled. W ithin 90 days of leaving the Entitlement Program to join the State CDBG program, the jurisdiction must certify that it will either: 1) Retain program income generated under Entitlement grants and continue to comply with Entitlement program requirements for program income, including reporting it into IDIS or the urban county; or 2) Retain the program income and transfer it to the State CDBG program, in which case the jurisdiction must comply with the State's rules for PI and RLF address within this Memo, the Reuse Plan and Chapter 14 of the Grant Management Memo. 6. Requirements of Program Income This PI Reuse Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements specified in federal statute and regulation at Section 104(j) of the Housing and Community Development Act ("the Act"), as amended in 1992 and 24 CFR 570.489(e) and (f ). These statutory and regulatory sections permit a unit of local government to retain PI for CDBG-eligible activities, with Department approval. Under f ederal guidelines adopted by the State of California's CDBG Program, local governments are permitted to retain PI as long as the local government has received advance approval from the State of a local Agreement that will govern the expenditure of the PI. This Agreement has been developed to meet that requirement when an active contract between the Department and the undersigned Jurisdiction is not in force. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies their PI will be used to fund eligible CDBG activities that meet a National Objective and any public benefit requirements. Eligible activities, National Objective and public benefit requirements are specified in Federal Statute at Sections 104(b), 105(a) of The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and in Federal Regulations at 24 CFR 570.482 and 24 CFR 570.483. The Jurisdiction understands, if it is determined that an activity/project funded with PI that does not meet a National Objective and/or meet the public benefit requirement, the Jurisdiction will be required to use its own local funds to repay the PI Account. 7. Definition of Program Income "Program Income" means gross income earned by the Jurisdiction from grant- funded activities and is subject to CDBG regulatory requirements pursuant to CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 9 of 40 24 CFR, Part 570.489(e) - Program Administrative Requirements as amended in the CDBG Final Rule, 24 CFR, Part 570.504 - Program Income, 24 CFR Part 85 – Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State, Local and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments, and OMB Circulars A-87 and A-122 as applicable. These regulations include the requirement that the Jurisdiction record the receipt and expenditure of PI as part of the financial transactions of the grant activity(ies). For activities generating PI that are only partially funded with CDBG funds, such income is prorated to reflect the actual percentage of CDBG participation. Examples of PI include but are not limited to: payments of principal and interest on housing rehabilitation or business loans made using CDBG funds; interest earned on PI pending its disposition; interest earned on funds that have been placed in a revolving loan account; net proceeds from the disposition by sale or long-term lease of real property purchased or improved with CDBG funds; and, income (net of costs that are incidental to the generation of the income) from the use or rental of real property that has been acquired, constructed or improved with CDBG funds and that is owned (in whole or in part) by the participating Jurisdiction or Sub-recipient. 8. Fiscal Reporting of Program Income Receipts, Deposits and Disbursements The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that CDBG PI will be accounted for using the Department’s fiscal year timeframe (July 1 to June 30). All receipts of PI or RLF revenue (and the depositing of those funds into separate account(s)) and expenditures of PI in accordance with this PI Reuse Agreement will be monitored and reported per the Department’s f iscal year cycle. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that they will report using the Department’s reports/forms and will submit them in a timely manner. 9. Duration of This Program Income Reuse Agreement The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that it and its Governing Body understand that this document is effective for five (5) years from the execution date by the authorized CDBG Representative listed in this Agreement. At that time unless here are no further CDBG PI assets generating repayments, or the Jurisdiction has become a HUD entitlement Jurisdiction and uses these funds for entitlement activities, a new PI Reuse Agreement will be submitted to the Department. The Department has the Authority to void the Agreement with notice for cause. 10. Program Income General Administration (PI GA) A. After the PI Reuse Agreement is executed, the Jurisdiction reserves the right to calculate and track up to seventeen percent (17%) of PI received pursuant to Section 1, item 2 above, for payment of eligible PI GA costs. PI GA will not CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 10 of 40 be calculated for any RLF deposits. PI GA funds will not be used until General Conditions for PI GA are cleared and Departmental written approval is received. As noted above, these funds cannot be set aside since all PI must be expended first on whatever CDBG cost must be paid next, however tracking the amount of PI GA generated by the Jurisdiction’s PI revenue permits the Jurisdiction to use that amount on eligible CDBG costs that don’t have to meet a national objective, and ensures the Department is not exceeding the administrative funding cap of twenty percent (20%), as set by federal statute. B. If more funds are expended than what is available under PI GA calculation, the Jurisdiction will be required to return the over-expended PI GA amount back into their PI Account. C. Ineligible PI GA costs will be required to be returned to their PI Account. D. PI GA funds, once approved for use, may be used to pay for costs associated with receiving Department approval of PI activities funded under this agreement. Before submitting any proposed PI activities (W aivers or RLF) for Department approval, the Jurisdiction must hold at least one formal public hearing to discuss eligible activities and proposed PI activities. Department recommends that this public hearing be conducted to review current fiscal year PI activities and proposed and possible activities for future Department applications. 11. Revolving Loan Funds (RLFs) A. Pursuant to the criteria noted below, the undersigned Jurisdiction may be eligible to apply for the Housing RLF and/or the ED RLF. B. RLFs listed under the Agreement will only be utilized after the Jurisdiction submits written certification as well as the required guideline documents, and receives written Departmental approval certifying that the proposed RLF meets the Department’s definition as follows: 1) There are existing loans and assets from past RLF eligible activities that can be reasonable expected to generate repayments. 2) The existing loans and assets have generated at least one loan repayment in the current fiscal year. C. The two RLFs and their respective CDBG eligible activities listed in this Agreement will be administered under the guidance and requirements provided in this Agreement and in the Department’s current GMM Chapter on Program Income, and any subsequent policy, regulation, or statutory guidance, from the Department. D. Pursuant to Management Memorandum 14-05, the undersigned Jurisdiction CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 11 of 40 certifies acknowledgement that the Department reserves the right to cancel the grantee’s RLF and require the funds to be returned to the Department as a corrective action for significant, ongoing non-compliance with RLF rules. E. The two (2) RLFs listed below each have a multiple eligible CDBG program activities. All CDBG rules pertaining to eligible RLF program activities will be followed. 1) Housing Revolving Loan Fund There are three (3) housing programs that must be made available under this RLF. The Jurisdiction will get written Department approval for all three programs as part of Housing RLF approval. Eligible housing activities under this RLF include: i. Housing Rehabilitation - Single Unit Residence program for owner and/or tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 14A. ii. Housing Rehabilitation - 2-4 Units program for owner and/or tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 14B. iii. Housing Acquisition - Single Family program for homebuyer assistance. Matrix code 13. 2) Economic Development (ED) Revolving Loan Funds (RLF) Eligible ED activities under this RLF include: i. Business Assistance program (direct financial assistance to a for- profit business). Matrix code18A; and ii. Microenterprise Financial Assistance. Matrix code 18C. F. Each approved RLF will offer all eligible activities under the RLF definition. G. Separate and formally adopted program guidelines for each eligible activity will be provided to the Department as part of General Conditions for all eligible RLF activities when obtaining Department approval of a RLF. H. The undersigned Jurisdiction acknowledges that although all eligible activities under each approved RLF must be available, the Jurisdiction has the discretion to fund RLF loans for the activity or activities they deem to address the greatest need in their community. I. RLF receipts on deposit may be used for one or both single family housing program activities. Alt hough both activities are required to be approved by the Department for use under the RLF, the Jurisdiction may choose to only operate one program at time or both simultaneously. J. In addition, each approved RLF will meet the following criteria: CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 12 of 40 1) RLFs will operate on a fiscal year of July 1 to June 30 for accounting and performance reporting. 2) Jurisdictions will set up RLFs as separate accounts (Housing and ED RLF accounts must be separate) with separate fund and transaction numbers. All other CDBG funds received as PI must be accounted for in a separate account. 3) All accounts set up pursuant to 2.G.2 will be interest bearing. 4) RLF monies will be expended first when the same RLF activity is funded under an awarded active grant contract. 5) RLF projects may be funded with both RLF monies and an active grant contract. 6) RLFs will be expended primarily on loans since RLFs must revolve. Thus, activities under an active contract that are funded using only grants rather than loans, will use contract f unds not RLF monies to pay for the activity. Microenterprise grants, home repair grants and closing cost grants, that do not have loans associated with them, will not become RLF assets and therefore will not require RLF funds to be spent first on the active grant activities. 7) The RLFs will primarily provide financing instruments that will revolve, (i.e. loans), RLFs cannot fund projects primarily or solely with grants or forgivable loans. 8) RLF receipts from loans or assets generated from the same program activity, (i.e. single family housing rehabilitation loan repayments will only be deposited into a Housing RLF). Thus, repayments from the same program activities that go into an RLF must be used for originating loans for the same program activities. 9) RLF PI balances will not be moved to another approved RLF account or to the Jurisdiction’s regular PI account. The Department may use a state or f ederal disaster declaration to formally allow for re-purposing of PI funds by the Jurisdiction. Funds approved by the Department for re- purposing to meet an urgent need are considered PI and must be expended f irst under active grant contracts or under approved waivers if there is no active contract. 10) RLFs that become depleted of funds and do not have additional asset repayments to sustain revolving activities, such that no longer meeting the Departments RLF definition, will be canceled by the Department. 11) RLF PI received and deposited is not allowable for PI GA expenses thus, seventeen percent (17%) cannot be set aside as with Jurisdictions with separate PI accounts. 12) RLFs with no annual revolving activities, (i.e. approved loans), are not able to be used by the Jurisdiction for reimbursement of non-revolving CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 13 of 40 costs therefore, activity delivery (AD) costs are not eligible. AD costs are only eligible if one or more projects are funded and accomplishment data (i.e. beneficiaries), for those activity(ies), on an annual basis, are reported. 13) RLF projects must be documented as meeting a national objective. If a project does not meet a national objective, then all expenses associated with the project (activity and activity delivery funds) must be repaid to the RLF with non-federal funds. 14) Given that RLF revenue cannot be “banked”, to remain eligible, a RLF must revolve. To meet the definition of revolving, the undersigned Jurisdiction will not have more than $100,000 on deposit in an RLF within a fiscal year without making at least one loan. Nor will the undersigned Jurisdiction have more than $500,000 on hand even if making loans, each fiscal year. 15) The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies they are aware that the Department will address excess funds and revolving compliance by issuing finding letters to the grantee which could result in the Department cancelling the grantee’s RLF, which immediately converts the funds to PI; and, therefore, must be used prior to drawing down grant funds. 16) RLF activity delivery funds (AD) may be used to pay for loan servicing costs. 17) Citizens of the Jurisdiction must be the primary beneficiaries of all RLF program activities. 18) Financial and performance reporting, on RLF projects will be done using current eligible activity set up, performance and completion reports for National Objective data and beneficiary demographics as HUD required accomplishment information. 19) Additional financial reports for RLF PI deposits and expenditures will be done twice a year using the Department’s current PI fiscal reporting forms. 20) The Jurisdiction will be required to repay the RLF account for ineligible costs or activities with local non-federal funds. 21) RLF programs will meet the CDBG National Objective of benefit to Low/Moderate-income (Low/Mod) households. per 24 CFR Part 5, and in accordance with the Department’s Income Manual. 22) Loan servicing costs under the RLFs are not eligible as PI GA costs but are eligible AD costs. As such, loan servicing costs are only eligible if one or more loans are made fiscally. CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 14 of 40 K. Activity Specific Requirements: 1) Housing RLF: a.

Note: this subsection applies to ME loans only, not ME grants. Financial Assistance that is solely a grant cannot be made through an RLF. 12. Loan Portfolio and Asset Management Policies and Costs A. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that it has asset management policies and loan portfolio servicing policies that are in compliance with HUD standards per 24 CFR Part 570, OMB Circulars A-87, A-122 A-133, and 24 CFR Part 85. B. The use of CDBG funds creates public financial assets. The public financial assets created can be in the form of loans or other repayment instruments which result in PI. Financial assets may also be in the form of real property or chattel (equipment and fixtures). All assets created from the use of CDBG funds must be administered in compliance with OMB Circulars A-87, A-122 A-133, 24 CFR Part 85. These policies will be used for managing all CDBG assets, including those which generate PI and RLF PI. C. General Administration PI funds may be used to reimburse the Jurisdiction for loan servicing and asset management costs. If the Jurisdiction has no PI GA available, GA funds from active grant contracts may be used to pay for eligible loan servicing costs. 13. Program Income Waivers A. The PI W aiver Submission Process will only be conducted when the undersigned Jurisdiction has no active grant contract(s) with the Department. B. The process below will be followed if a PI W aiver is to be requested: 1) All PI W aiver requests will be submitted on approved Departmental forms for the Department’s written approval. 2) After the Department’s review of the activity for eligibility and national objective compliance, the PI W aiver will be formally adopted via public hearing and resolution of the Jurisdiction’s Governing Body, as part of the PI W aiver General (and Special Conditions if applicable) Clearance process. 3) Expenditure of PI W aiver funds will not commence until clearance of all CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 16 of 40 required General and Special Conditions have been met, and written Departmental approval has been issued to the Jurisdiction. 4) Possible W aiver activities will be discussed at a properly noticed public hearing, held in front of the Jurisdiction’s Governing Body, prior to submission of a Certified Resolution as part of a PI W aiver Request to the Department. 5) The PI W aiver request must be submitted in accordance with current Department policy, and any subsequent policy, regulation, or statutory guidance. 6) PI W aiver activity reporting will be submitted per current Departmental policies and includes financial accounting of all PI received and expended, including PI W aivers and PI W aiver activity performance. 7) PI W aiver activities must be fully funded with program income already on hand. 8) Only two (2) PI W aivers may be open and active at any one time. 9) RLF funds will not be used for PI W aivers, since RLF monies must be expended on the activity that generated the payments. 10) PI W aivers will not be approved for the same program activities for approved RLFs. C. PI GA and PI W aiver financial and performance reporting will be done using current eligible activity set up and completion reports which will collect national objective data and beneficiary demographics for HUD required accomplishment information. D. Additional financial reports for PI GA, PI W aivers, PI deposits and expenditures will be done semi-annually using the Department’s current PI fiscal reporting forms. E. Ineligible costs will be required to be repaid to the PI Account. In some cases with ongoing significant compliance issues, the Department reserves the right to require the jurisdiction return all PI to the Department until it is satisf ied that the jurisdiction has resolved all compliance issues. 14. Program Income Not Associated with an RLF A. Provided the undersigned Jurisdiction has made the Department aware at the beginning of the fiscal year they intend to exercise the $35,000 rule, PI which is received annually that has a cumulative amount up to $35,000 (RLF receipts are not included in the $35,000 calculation) may be “re-categorized” as non- CDBG funds. In electing to exercise the $35,000 rule, the Jurisdiction agrees not to expend CDBG revenue until either the fiscal year ends or the amount received goes above $35,000, at which point the jurisdiction must consider the revenue as CDBG PI and must use it, first prior to drawing CDBG contract funds. CDBG PI Reuse Agreem ent Rev. 7/2014 Page 17 of 40 B. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that it acknowledges if it has PI on hand and has not applied for or been awarded CDBG f unds with the past three NOFAs, the Jurisdiction will be required to submit a PI Expenditure Plan for its PI on hand. The plan must be submitted via the CDBG PI W aiver process. If the Jurisdiction does not initiate the request, the Department will send the Jurisdiction a letter requiring submission of the plan within a set time frame. If the Jurisdiction does not respond to the Department’s letter, the Jurisdiction will be required to return all PI on hand to the Department, regardless of the amount of PI.

Mobile/Manufactured Homes CDBG funds may be used for the rehabilitation of a mobile home. An alternative to actual rehabilitation of a mobile home is to replace the unit with a used mobile home. To be considered eligible for rehabilitation costs, the used mobile home must have been occupied and not used as a demonstration model. Should the residential dwelling or existing mobile home that is being considered for rehabilitation meet the criteria for reconstruction discussed below, a new mobile home can be used for replacement. All costs associated with the purchase and transportation can be added to the applicant's loan. 8. Reconstruction Changes in federal law and policies allow the use of CDBG funds to demolish and reconstruct LMI-owned and occupied residential structures. Reconstruction is defined as the demolition and construction of a structure. States may establish guidelines for authorizing reconstruction, provided the guidelines are consistent with federal standards. Grantees must document that the reconstruction costs are less than newly constructed housing and that the estimated cost of the reconstructed housing (including demolition, site preparation and temporary relocation) is less than the fair market value of the reconstructed housing and land combined. This may be accomplished by completing the Test for Reconstruction and providing an appraisal or equal on the fair market value of the City of Ukiah Page 5 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines newly reconstructed housing. A copy of the Test for Reconstruction must be kept in the project files and be available for review during the monitoring visit. The residential structure to be reconstructed must be a structure or unit within a structure with cooking, eating, sleeping, and sanitation facilities which has been legally occupied as a residence within the preceding 12 months. Reconstruction of a unit is categorically excluded from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, see Chapter 3) if the project is four or fewer units per NEPA 58.35(a) (7). Building plans for reconstruction should meet new construction building and zoning standards for room size, setbacks, and off- street parking areas. II. REHABILITATION STANDARDS A.

Sewer Lateral Replacement/Repair Grant Program In certain cases, CDBG funds may be made available to income-eligible residents solely to provide repairs or replacements of sewer laterals. This activity is considered to be housing rehabilitation and, although similar in many ways to standard housing rehabilitations, have a number of differences. Sewer lateral repair and/or replacement is subject to the following: a. The applicant must be eligible and qualified under the City’s housing rehabilitation program guidelines. b. Funds provided for sewer lateral replacement and/or repair to single family units are grants and do not require repayment. The applicant must qualify under one of the three situations in Section III.4. c. Applicants are selected on the basis of "first come, first ready" until funds are exhausted. d. Sewer lateral projects generally do not undertake repairs to the interior of housing units unless such repairs are absolutely necessary for a code-compliant sewer lateral. III. TYPES OF FINANCING AND TERMS A. Owner-Occupants 1. Maximum Loan Amount An eligible owner may qualify for the full cost of the rehabilitation work needed to comply with Section 8 Housing Quality Standards and Uniform Building Code. Maximum assistance with funds is $100,000. Total indebtedness against property will not exceed 100 percent of after-rehabilitation value. Rehabilitation costs for jobs may be supplemented with personal financing or with other loan or grant programs. 2. Deferred Payment Loans (DPLs) A DPL is a zero to four percent (0-4%) interest loan secured by a deed of trust with no payback required until the borrower sells or transfers title or discontinues residence in the dwelling. When specific circumstances occur, the DPL City of Ukiah Page 14 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines becomes immediately due and payable. Payments may be made voluntarily on a DPL. 3. Below Market Interest Rate (BMIR) Loans Amortized loans secured by a deed of trust will bear a fixed simple interest rate of 0-4% per annum on the unpaid principal balance, depending on the income of the borrower, and eligible housing and/or other expenses. Whenever possible loans will be amortized. The term of all amortized loans will be for 15 years unless a longer period is deemed necessary to protect the integrity of the loan. There will be no prepayment penalty. 4. Determining Eligibility Owner-occupants with incomes below 50% of the median income for Mendocino County adjusted for family size are eligible for Deferred Payment Loans. On a case-by-case basis other hardship expenses such as medical costs and housing expenses in excess of 30% of the household’s gross monthly income may be considered in determining the need for a DPL. Owner-occupants with incomes between 50% and 80% of the County median income, adjusted for family size will be eligible for BMIR loans. A limited number of $10,000 grants are available for any of the following three situations: 1. For very low-income (gross annual income less than 50 percent of Mendocino County median income) elderly persons - at least 55 years of age. 2. For persons with disabilities–grants for removal of architectural barriers to ADA accessibility to a house with one or more disabled occupants. 3. Lowest Targeted Income Group - with gross annual income less than 50 percent of county median income. For the above situations, costs for documents (preliminary title report, appraisal, etc.) required of the applicant to meet program qualification requirements may be included in the grant so as not to cause undue financial hardship. The Loan Committee will determine if the grant should include these costs. The Loan Committee may adjust the interest rate from 4% to 0% to assure affordability. Affordability is based on 30% of gross income applied to housing costs. Housing costs include mortgage payments on the subject property, the housing rehabilitation loan payment, real estate taxes and insurance on the subject property. Applicants who have housing costs in excess of this 30% figure may qualify for a deferred or partially deferred loan. 5. Reconstruction Policy City of Ukiah Page 15 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines The reconstruction of existing low-income owner occupied single family residential structures may be authorized with prior State and Federal approval. Procedures shall be consistent with applicable State and Federal guidelines. Reconstruction financed with loan funds shall, with Loan Committee approval, be subject to the per unit maximum of HOME subsidy limits based on number of bedrooms. B. Closing Costs Closing costs incurred during the processing of a loan application will normally be paid by the applicant out of loan proceeds. These costs which may vary among applications, may include: credit report fee(s), appraisal fee, title insurance fee, lot book report fee, escrow fee, pest control report fees, and recording fees. Where warranted by income and monthly repayment capacity limitations, the Loan Committee may waive applicant repayment of all or a portion of the closing costs. Lower-Income applicants who are not approved for financial assistance will not be required to reimburse the City for costs associated with the processing of the application. C. Security Property to be rehabilitated shall act as security for the loan. All loans shall be secured by a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust, which shall be recorded. A junior deed of trust may be approved as security for a loan. Total liens of record against the property may not exceed 90% of the after rehabilitation value as determined by the Loan Committee based upon the estimate provided by Housing Rehabilitation staff. E. Transfer of Title All loans become immediately repayable in full when there is any transfer of title to the property, other than to a surviving spouse. City staff may permit the same or revised terms if income criteria are met by the new property owner. IV. OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS A. Owner-Occupants 1. Owner occupants will be required to submit to the City between January 1 and 15 of each year for the term of the loan:  Proof of occupancy in the form of a copy of a current utility bill. City of Ukiah Page 16 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines  Statement of unit's continued use as a residence.  Declaration that other title holders do not reside on the premises.  Proof of property (hazard) insurance, showing City of Ukiah listed as loss payee. 2. In the event that an owner-occupant sells, transfers title, or discontinues residence in the rehabilitated property for any reason, the loan is due and payable. (a) If, however, the owner-occupant who qualifies for financing dies, and if the heir to the property lives in the house and is income- eligible, the heir may be permitted, upon approval of the City to assume the loan at the rate and terms he or she qualifies for under current participation guidelines. (b) If the owner-occupant who qualifies for financing dies and the heir is not income-eligible, the loan is due and payable. 3. If an owner wants to convert the rehabilitated property to any commercial or non-residential use, the loan is due and payable. V. OWNER PARTICIPATION OR SELF HELP LOANS The purpose of the Home Improvement Program is to improve the housing conditions of low-income residents. Three important considerations in achieving this purpose are: 1) the work should be done in a timely manner 2) the work should meet certain basic standards of quality 3) work must comply with the rehabilitation standard established by the Program (Section 8 Housing Quality Standards and Uniform Building Code). In situations where a home owner is also a construction contractor or can provide references establishing a history of working in residential construction, the property owner may complete some or all of the tasks required to rehabilitate his/her property if he/she has the degree of skill required to perform the work involved. Self-help is usually appropriate for the accomplishment of tasks of an unskilled nature such as general clean up, demolition of small buildings, removal and disposal of debris, or for work which involves minimum use of costly materials and equipment, such as exterior and interior painting. Work of a skilled nature is appropriate only if the owner has a license to perform such tasks. Owners who participate in the Home Improvement Program on the basis of performing some or all of the work themselves, which is known as providing “owner participation” or “self-help,” will be expected to comply with the guidelines outlined below. City of Ukiah Page 17 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines 1. Evaluation. An evaluation must be performed by the Housing Rehabilitation Specialist to determine the applicant’s suitability for owner participation. The option to allow owners to do the work themselves may be provided at the sole discretion of the Housing Rehabilitation Staff. 2. Work Schedule. Borrowers approved to provide owner participation will be required to submit a detailed work schedule in accordance with deadlines established by the program. This work schedule must include the following: a. A complete list of materials, which will be required for the project. b. A precise cost estimate of materials to be purchased. This estimate must be based on actual costs. c. A detailed list (company names, addresses, and telephone numbers) of places where materials are to be purchased. d. A specific list of individuals (contractors, subcontractors or laborers) who will be needed to assist the owner in completing the project. This list shall include contractors’ license numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, and specific amounts to be paid. Owners are reminded that it is against program policy for any owner or member of the owner’s immediate family to receive payment, either directly or indirectly, for housing rehabilitation work. e. A detailed time schedule showing the dates when work will be started, when work will be done on each task, and when all work will be completed. 3. Permits. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to contact the appropriate governmental offices to determine whether building permits or other permits will be required. Failure to do this may result in loan cancellation or demands that work be started over and corrected. Whatever local requirements prevail for permit issuances, the owner will be expected to comply with those requirements. The work being allowed by this program is for health and safety purposes. A building permit is mandatory for all code-related items. A copy of each permit must be forwarded to the Housing Rehabilitation Specialist and the original should be posted on the structure. Building permit fees, where applicable, are reimbursable items; therefore, they should be included in the original Work Schedule. When each code item is completed (such as electrical, plumbing) the Building Permit is signed off by the Building Inspector. A running copy of the card, showing sign-offs as they occur, shall be provided to Housing Rehabilitation staff. City of Ukiah Page 18 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines 4.Disbursements. Any disbursements made from the owner’s loan shall be done in accordance with the work schedule approved by the program. Any obligations incurred which are not in accordance with the work schedule may be denied for payment. Disbursements shall be authorized jointly by the homeowner and a duly authorized representative of the Home Improvement Program. All disbursements must be justified by original receipts that are legible, state the materials purchased or labor provided, and they must be otherwise traceable by the program. Disbursements will be for eligible materials only. 5.Prohibition Against Cash Refunds. Homeowners are reminded that it is a violation of program policy for cash refunds to be received for materials purchased or labor secured. In cases where materials are to be returned and cash is to be received, all cash must be immediately returned to the owner’s escrow account. 6.Labor Summary Record. By allowing work to be done on an owner participation basis, it is expected that certain savings will result to the housing rehabilitation program and to the owner’s loan. The method of keeping track of work being done is the “Participant Labor Summary Record.” VI. APPLICANT SELECTION AND LOAN CLOSING A. Home Improvement Loan Committee 1. Purpose The function of the Home Improvement Loan Committee will be to review and act on applications recommended by program staff for financing.

The LCR and the application will be brought before the Home Improvement Loan Committee for approval. General lending criteria that will be used to assist in evaluating the applications of eligible property owners for financial assistance will include: 1. The ability and willingness of an applicant to repay a loan, as well as all existing liabilities, as evidenced by such criteria as income, credit history, necessary monthly expenses, and stability of income. 2. The economic feasibility of property rehabilitation such that a reasonable expenditure of funds will enable the correction of all major health and/or safety related items, with the rehabilitated property providing adequate collateral for a loan that is secured with a deed of trust.

If the work is not found to be in substantial compliance, the payment amount will be delayed until compliance has been achieved. 2. Following an inspection and approval by the Housing Rehabilitation staff and property owner of the contractor's invoice and all work being billed, the payment amount will be calculated according to the contract provisions governing holdbacks. The payment check will be made out to the contractor. Final Payment (10% retention) is processed in the same general manner as progress payments. Upon written final acceptance of the work by the property owner, the Housing rehabilitation staff, a Notice of Completion will be recorded on the property.

D. General Contract Conditions and Specifications The General Conditions and Specifications of the Home Improvement Program shall be included in all contracts for housing rehabilitation. All change orders to the contract specifications require the signature of the ownerand the City’s Housing Rehabilitation staff. When there are disputes between the contractor and property owner over contract specifications, job scope or adequacy of performance, City of Ukiah staff will make the final determination of contract requirements; City staff will have the authority to release final payment where there is substantial compliance with the contract. IX. TEMPORARY RELOCATION Owner occupants will be informed of their eligibility for up to $3,000 in temporary relocation benefits if occupancy during rehabilitation constitutes a substantial danger to health and safety of occupant or public danger or is otherwise desirable because of the nature of the project. Relocated owner occupants will receive housing costs, payment for moving and related expenses and appropriate advisory services. X. REPAIR CALLBACKS In the event that a contractor must be called back to make corrections on rehabilitation work items that are not covered by the one year warranty, the City has the option to cover the costs through the current CDBG construction budget. XI. COMPLAINT AND APPEAL PROCEDURE Complaints concerning the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program should first be made to the City’s housing rehabilitation staff. City staff will act as mediator between the homeowner and the General Contractor, and attempt to resolve any disputes and adverse situations. If unresolved in this manner, the complaint or appeal shall be made in writing and filed with the City. The City will then schedule a meeting with the City’s Loan Review Committee. Their written response will be made within fifteen (15) working days. If the applicant is not satisfied with the committee's decision, a request for an appeal may be filed with the City Council. GRIEVANCES BETWEEN BORROWER/GRANTEE AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR Contracts signed by the contractor and the borrower/grantee include the following clause, which provides a procedure for resolution of grievances: Any controversy arising out of or relating to this City of Ukiah Page 24 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines Contract, or the breach thereof, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the California Arbitration Law, Code of Civil Procedure 1280 et seq., and the Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Costs to initiate arbitration shall be paid by the party seeking arbitration. Notwithstanding, the party prevailing in any arbitration proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other all attorney's fees and costs of arbitration. XII. DELINQUENCIES, DEFAULTS AND FORECLOSURES A. Policy The City acknowledges that circumstances beyond a borrower's control may temporarily limit his/her ability to meet loan terms. The City desires to be flexible enough so that in cases of: death of a family member, loss of job, divorce and major illness loan terms may be modified. While the City, in this policy, outlines a system that can accommodate crises that restrict borrowers' ability to meet loan terms, it should in no way be misunderstood. Loan terms must be fulfilled. B. Procedure 1. Thirty (30) day and sixty (60) day delinquencies. The City or administrator will send the borrower a letter noting the amount delinquent or performance default. This letter shall be followed by a telephone call reminding the borrower of the loan amount and due date or performance default. 2. Ninety (90) day delinquency. The City will send a certified letter noting the amount delinquent or performance default. In this letter, a date and time shall be set for a meeting between the borrower and the City housing rehabilitation staff or designee. At this meeting the following will be discussed: - reasons for delinquency or default - any changes in the borrower's health, family circumstances or financial status that limits their repayment ability - amount in arrears. At conclusion of this meeting, the following will be determined: - how and when the amount in arrears will be paid; - how performance defaults will be remedied; City of Ukiah Page 25 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines - if a personal emergency (loss of a job, loss of spouse or co-borrower, serious illness) has restricted repayment ability. If because of such an emergency, the borrower cannot fulfill the term(s) of the loan or afford to pay the full monthly installment, housing rehabilitation staff may exercise one or more of the following options: a. Extend the time of payment or otherwise alter the terms of any of the indebtedness; b. Accept additional security therefore of any kind, including trust deeds or mortgages; c. Alter, substitute or release any property securing the indebtedness. Any action taken as a result of this meeting shall be documented and recorded in the required fashion. 3. If the borrower does not appear for the 90-day delinquency meeting, and does not contact City staff to reschedule the meeting, staff may immediately begin foreclosure proceedings. 4. Any borrower who participates in the process outlined in Item B and then becomes 90 days delinquent within two years of renegotiating their loan terms may be subject to immediate foreclosure. XIII. AFTER-REHABILITATION PROPERTY MAINTENANCE A. Policy ALL Home Improvement Loans require the borrower: 1. To protect and preserve said property and to maintain it in good condition and repair; 2. Not to remove, demolish or materially alter any building or any improvement thereon, nor to change or alter either the terms and conditions of any existing lease of the premises, or the present character of use of said property; 3. To complete or restore promptly and in good workmanlike manner any building or improvement that may be constructed, damaged or destroyed thereon and pay when due all costs incurred therefore; and to comply with City of Ukiah Page 26 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines all of the terms of any loan agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary; 4. Not to commit or permit waste of the property; 5. To comply with all laws, covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the property; 6. To cultivate, irrigate, fertilize, fumigate, prune and do all other acts that from the character or use of said property may be reasonably necessary, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the general. These conditions help assure that the property does not revert to a substandard state. B. Procedure When the City becomes aware that rehabilitated property is not being properly maintained it may: 1. Provide the borrower in writing: a. a list of needed repairs or maintenance items b. a recommendation as to a solution to the deficiencies c. a request that the repairs be performed within 60 days 2. At the end of the 60-day period, Housing Rehabilitation staff shall inspect the property. If the needed repairs have not been performed, staff shall set an appointment with the borrower to discuss why maintenance has not been performed. If the borrower is unable to afford to make the needed repairs and if the repairs represent a new building deficiency not covered by the original rehabilitation, additional funds may be provided. 3. Following the visit and inspection, the borrower will be given 60 days to make the necessary repairs. The borrower will be given written notice at the start of this phase that if repairs are not performed within 60 days the borrower will be considered to be in default. 4. If repairs are not performed within 60 days of the notice outlined in Item 3, the City may begin foreclosure proceedings. XIV. AMENDMENTS Amendments to these Policies and Procedures may be made by the City and will be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for approval. Where changes in the guidelines would adversely affect program applications already under review, such applications will be evaluated under the guidelines in effect at the time of application.

City of Ukiah Page 29 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines ATTACHMENT B CITY OF UKIAH RESIDENTIAL ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN The jurisdiction will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate-income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as described in 24 CFR 470.606 (b) (1) and 24 CFR 92. All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the jurisdiction will make public and submit to the Department the following information in writing: 1. A description of the proposed assisted activity; 2 The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity; 3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion; 4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units. 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. The jurisdiction will provide relocation assistance to each low/moderate-income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate-income dwelling to another use as a direct result of assisted activities. Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the jurisdiction will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes: City of Ukiah Page 30 CDBG Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines A. Steps to Minimize or Prevent Displacement 1. Use CDBG funds to provide seed money grants or loans, long-term mortgage loans at favorable rates, or capital grants to tenant groups of multi-family buildings to help them convert to cooperatives. 2. Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation, working with empty building or groups or empty units first so they can be rehabilitated first and tenants moved in before rehab on occupied units or building is begun. 3. Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will be of short duration, so they can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new construction. 4. Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue financial burden on long-established owners or on tenants of multi-family buildings. 5. Provide counseling via Government or non-profit organizations to assist homeowners and renters to understand the range of assistance that may be available to help them in staying in the area in the face of revitalization pressures. 6. Shift the concentrated demand generated by intense investment in one or two neighborhoods to other neighborhoods by: (a) targeting public improvements into several other neighborhoods with potential for revitalization; (b) conduction of advertising campaigns to attract interest in other neighborhoods. B. Steps to Assist Displaced Persons to Remain in their Present Neighborhood 1. Provide lower-income housing in the neighborhood through HUD housing programs; purchase units as is; rehabilitate vacant units; 2. Give Priority in assisted housing units in the neighborhood to area residents facing displacement. 3. Target Section 8 existing program certificated to households being displaced, and recruit area landlords to participate in the program. 4. Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees find alternate housing in the neighborhood. 5. Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate vacancies for household City of Ukiah Page 31 CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines facing displacement. C. Steps to Otherwise Mitigate Adverse Effects of Displacement 1. Use of public funds, such as CDBG funds, to pay moving costs and provide relocation payments, or require private developers to provide compensation to persons displaced by development activities. 2. Give displacees priority in obtaining subsidized housing units. 3. Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees to locate elsewhere in the community or metropolitan area. D. Additional Procedures for Acquisition of Single-Family Homes (HOME funds) When the jurisdiction uses HOME funds to obtain a single-family home, or to provide financial assistance in such a transaction, the URA and its implementing regulations (49 CFR part 24) will be adhered to. Policies and Procedures described in HUD Handbook 1378, Chapters 1 through 6 and Chapter 8 will be implemented, and those specific to the HOME program described on pages 8-17 through 8-23, will be followed. 1. Unit occupied by home owner: The home owner will be notified in writing that the jurisdiction 2. Will not use its power of eminent domain to acquire the property. The homeowner will be informed in writing of the jurisdictions estimate of the fair market value to the property. These notices will be issued at the earliest possible date. 3. Unit occupied by tenant: The homeowner will receive the notifications stated above. In additions, the tenant will be issued a notice at the earliest possible date. The notice will include all information required under URA including a caution not to move prematurely, and information on relocation assistance. Information on comparable replacement units will be provided, as well as material on social services and housing programs. Upon moving, the tenants will be provided with moving expenses and rent differential, (per URA) where applicable. A notice informing tenants of the date they will be required to move will be issued. If a unit is vacant at the time of negotiation of sales, or becomes vacant later, any prospective tenant will be notified of the pending sale, informed that they may be required to move, and that they will not be entitled to relocation assistance. The issuing of all notices and the processing of relocation assistance will be the responsibility of the City of Ukiah and/or its administrator. City of Ukiah Page 32 CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines ATTACHMENT C CDBG FORECLOSURE POLICY Process for Loan Foreclosure: Upon any condition of loan default: 1) non-payment; 2) lack of insurance or property tax payment; 3) violation of rent limitation agreement; 4) change in title or use without approval; 5) default on senior loans, Lender will send out a letter to the Borrower notifying them of the default situation. If the default situation continues then the Lender may start a formal process of foreclosure. When a senior lien holder starts a foreclosure process and the Lender is notified via a Request for Notice of Default, the Lender, who is the junior lien holder, may cancel the foreclosure proceedings by "reinstating" the senior lien holder. The reinstatement amount, or payoff amount must be obtained by contacting the senior lien holder. This amount will include all delinquent payments, late charges and fees to date. Lender must confer with Borrower to determine if, upon paying the senior lien holder current, the Borrower can provide future payments. If this is the case then the Lender may cure the foreclosure and add the costs to the balance of the loan with a Notice of Additional Advance on the existing note. If the Lender determines, based on information on the reinstatement amount and status of borrower, that bringing the loan current will not preserve the loan, then staff must determine if it is cost effective to protect their position by paying off the senior lien holder in total and restructure the debt such that the unit is made affordable to the Borrower. If the Lender does not have sufficient funds to pay the senior lien holder in full, then they may choose to cure the senior lien holder and foreclose on the property themselves. As long as there is sufficient value in the property, the Lender can afford to pay for the foreclosure process and pay off the senior lien holder and retain some or all of their investment. If the Lender decides to reinstate, the senior lien holder will accept the amount to reinstate the loan up until five (5) days prior to the set "foreclosure sale date." This "foreclosure sale date" usually occurs about four (4) to six (6) months from the date of recording of the "Notice of Default." If the Lender fails to reinstate the senior lien holder before five (5) days prior to the foreclosure sale date, the senior lien holder would then require a full pay off of the balance, plus costs, to cancel foreclosure. If the Lender determines the reinstatement and maintenance of the property not to be cost effective and allows the senior lien holder to complete foreclosure, the Lender's lien may be eliminated due to insufficient sales proceeds. Lender As Senior Lien Holder: When the Lender is first position as a senior lien holder, active collection efforts will begin on any loan that is 31 or more days in arrears. Attempts will be made to assist the homeowner in bringing and keeping the loan current. These attempts will be conveyed in an increasingly urgent manner until loan payments have reached 90 days in arrears, at which time the Lender may consider foreclosure. Lender’s staff will consider the following factors before initiating foreclosure: A. Can the loan be cured and can the rates and terms be adjusted to allow for affordable payments such that foreclosure is not necessary? City of Ukiah Page 33 CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines B. Can the Borrower refinance with a private lender and pay off the Lender? C. Can the Borrower sell the property and pay off the Lender? D. Does the balance warrant foreclosure? (If the balance is under $5,000, the expense to foreclose may not be worth pursuing.) E. Will the sales price of home "as is" cover the principal balance owing, necessary advances, (maintain fire insurance, maintain or bring current delinquent property taxes, monthly yard maintenance, periodic inspections of property to prevent vandalism, etc.) foreclosure, and marketing costs? If the balance is substantial and all of the above factors have been considered, the Lender may opt to initiate foreclosure. The Borrower must receive, by certified mail, a thirty-day notification of foreclosure initiation. This notification must include the exact amount of funds to be remitted to the Lender to prevent foreclosure (such as, funds to bring a delinquent BMIR current or pay off a DPL). At the end of thirty days, the Lender should contact a reputable foreclosure service or local title company to prepare and record foreclosure documents and make all necessary notifications to the owner and junior lien holders. The service will advise the Lender of all required documentation to initiate foreclosure (Note and Deed of Trust usually) and funds required from the owner to cancel foreclosure proceedings. The service will keep the Lender informed of the progress of the foreclosure proceedings. When the process is completed, and the property has "reverted to the beneficiary" at the foreclosure sale, the Lender could sell the home themselves under a homebuyer program or use it for an affordable rental property managed by a local housing authority or use it for transitional housing facility or other eligible use. The Lender could contract with a local real estate broker to list and sell the home and use those funds for program income eligible uses.
