Grant recipients must certify that their planned use of CDBG funds
complies with the following:
(a) Compliance with national objectives.
Grant recipients must certify that their use of CDBG funds gives
maximum feasible priority to activities that benefit Iow and moderate
income residents or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or
blight.
(b) Compliance with environmental review procedures.
Grant recipients must certify their compliance with environmental
review procedures set forth in 24 CFR, part 58, for each activity as
applicable.
SECTION 4. Contingency Plan.
No appropriation shall be made in excess of actual revenues and no
liability is to be incurred in excess of appropriations. In the event that actual
revenues are different than the revenues estimated by the CDBG budget, the
following actions shall be taken:
(a) Public Service Proqrams:
In the event the City receives a lesser amount of funding
than its budgeted CDBG entitlement, each appropriation for
public services will receive a proportionately equal reduction in
its appropriation relative to the total decrease in total
revenues.
Ordinance 5795

Page 3
In the case of an increase in available funding, the final
award will be calculated based on the increase in funds
available subject to the CDBG 15% Public Services Cap.
(b) Capital-Funds Programs:
Appropriations .for capital projects, including the Housing
Repair Program, shall be released only when actual revenues
are sufficient to fully fund the appropriation unless both the
recipient Agency and the City mutually agree to a partial
funding of the Agency's original appropriation. Partial funding
of an appropriation will release the City from further obligations
to fund that particular appropriation and, thereby, allow the
City to consider funding either all or part of another
appropriation.
In the event that the City receives more than its budgeted
CDBG entitlement, the non-budgeted portion of the
appropriation not available for public service activities will be
allocated to the Housing Repair Program up to an additional
$25,000. Additional funds received will be allocated in the
2005 program year.

Funds budgeted to capital projects which are reduced in cost,
thus returning funds to the CDBG program during the Program
Year, will be reallocated to the Housing Repair Program.

The Mayor is hereby authorized to implement such administrative
procedures as may be necessary to carry out the directives of this legislation.
SECTION 8. Severability.

severable. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision,
section or portion of this ordinance, or the invalidity of the application thereof to
any person or circumstance shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this
ordinance, or the validity of its application to other persons or circumstances.

after its passage, approval and publication, as provided by law.
