Specific expenditures for the 2004 Program Year are itemized in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Disbursement of CDBG funds for a specific program or project shall not exceed the amount appropriated, as indicated on the itemized budget set forth in Exhibit "A," to this Ordinance No. 5795 for that particular program or project. SECTION 3. Prerequisites for Use of CDBG Funds. Ordinance 5795 October 20, 2003 Page 3 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 October 20, 2003 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. Ordinance 5795 October 20, 2003 Page 4 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 provisions of this ordinance are declared to be separate and severable.
