Actions that will be undertaken in 2008 are outlined in this "Annual Action Plan". The City of Auburn anticipates the .receipt of approximately $409,760 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in 2008. Auburn's 2008. CDBG entitlement will be combined with $324,156 of re-appropriated funds from prior years to create a tota12008 CDBG budget. of $733,916. Auburn's CDBG funds will be combined with approximately $425,316 of General Funds to create a total Human Services budget of approximately $1,159,232 in 2008. Human Services is responsible for providing and managing fmancial resource to more than 30 non profit agencies that serve the Auburn community, administering the local housing repair program, and developing collaborations among community partners to strengthen the response to residents in need. The 2008 Action Plan proposes to allocate approximately $61,464 of CDBG funds to public services. Most of the those funds ($51,464) will be used to provide dental and medical care to uninsured, low income Auburn residents and $10,000 for employment training. Approximately $81,952 of the CDBG funds will be allocated to program administration, which . includes planning. The 2008 Action Plan proposes a planning grant to develop written protocols to assure collaboration among agencies that serve victims of domestic violence and sexual assault ($20,000). The remaining $590,500 will be allocated to housing repair ($250,000), purchase of an emergency/temporary use house ($250,000), economic development ($37,500), and investment in a location for the City's Friendship Center ($53,000). The City of Auburn is currently re-evaluating its funding criteria for evaluating human services grant applications. At the same time, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is implementing changes to the Consolidated Plan reporting requirements. The City of Auburn is committed to focusing more on achieving solutions to recurring social problems and achieve .greater collaboration among service providers: HUD is attempting to standardize the performance measurements listed in the Consolidated Plan. The Year 2008 Action Plan combines the changes that both the City of Auburn and HUD are currently implementing. Overall the implementation of the 2007 Action Plan is progressing as planned. Most of the activities listed in the 2007 Action Plan are underway. The exceptions are listed in the X008 Action Plan as funds of inactive projects to be re-appropriated. Amore detailed report of 2007 activities will be summarized in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that will be drafted and released for public review before the end of the first quarter of 2008. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND CONSULTATION The development of the Annual Action Plan involves both citizen participation and consultation -with local service providers. Citizen participation in the planning process began at a joint meeting between the Auburn City Council and Human Services Committee. At this meeting, Council and Committee members identified a series of community results that they would like to 2 Final Copy November 15, 2007 achieve through the appropriation of City funds. The City consults with local service providers primarily through the solicitation of applications for Human Services grants. -Grant applications prepared by service providers furnishes the City information regarding the goals of the agency, target populations, proposed services, gaps in the delivery of services, linkages to poverty reduction strategies and collaboration with other service providers. This information is reviewed by City staff and the Human Services Committee. The Human Services Committee's recommendations were incorporated into the 2008 Action Plan and presented to the City Council's Planning and Community Development (PCD) Committee on October 8 & 22, 2007. A preliminary draft of the 2008 Action Plan was distributed to all the grant applicants and local service providers. A public notice was issued and posted at City Hall, the Auburn Senior's Center, and on the City of Auburn's website on October 1, 2007; this information was also published in the Auburn Reporter on October 3, 2007 and in The Seattle Times on October 4, 2007 announcing that copies of the proposed 2008 Action Plan were available for public review. The City Council will schedule a public hearing: to gather testimony about the. plan before it takes action to review and adopt it. The following outlines the remaining steps regarding citizen participation and consultation for the Year 2008 Action Plan: October 1, 2007: Start of Public Review Process October 15, 2007: Public Hearing October 31, 2007: End of Public Review Process November 5, 2007: Council takes action to adopt the Year 2007 Action Plan November 15, 2007: Deadline to submit theplan to HUD HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES 2008 CDBG ESTIMATED RESOURCES h7 2007 the City of Auburn received $412,701 of CDBG funds. In 2008 the City estimates that its CDBG funds will decrease slightly from last year's CDBG entitlement.

CDBG ESTIMATED RESOURCES $409,760 CDBG 2008 Entitlement (estimated) $324.156 Recaptured from Prior Years-2006 and 2007 funds $733,916 Total Estimated CDBG Funds Available in 2008 3 Final Copy November 15, 2007 Recaptured CDBG Funds from Prior Years 2006: A Revolving Loan Fund was proposed in 2006; this was determined to not be the best use of these available funds and as a result $94,240 was reallocated for future use. In addition, a neighborhood planning grant ($7,500) and an information development project ($2,500). were deemed to be best accomplished through different means. 2007: With a delay in funding, many projects were unable to be begun in a manner that would allow for their completion. The planning grant for the establishment of DV Protocols ($20,000) was determined to be best served with a full year's. time in 2008. The planned spending for .the Housing Repair program ($100,000) was carried into the 2008 Action Plan. A decision by the City's Public Works department not to use CDBG funds for a neighborhood revitilization effort (Terminal Park, $100,000) allowed for reallocation as well. OTHER RESOURCES General Funds The City of Auburn allocates up to one percent (1%) of its general fund expenditures to provide human services for Auburn residents through contracts with non-profit agencies. Assuming the City will continue to receive the same amount of general fund revenues, the estimated allocation . from General Fund budget for human service grants is $425,316 in 2008.

Toward this end, the City will give funding priority to .programs that - in addition to complying with federal regulations and addressing a priority outlined in the Consolidated Plan -are consistent with the following anti-poverty strategy for resource allocation. 1. Each project must satisfy one of the three following overriding goals: ^ The project must help people move out of poverty. ^ The prof ect must prevent people from entering. poverty. 4 Final Copy November 15, 2007 ^ The project must address the basic needs of people living in poverty. 2.

CDBG funded services must, to the fullest extent possible, be appropriate and accessible to people who may face special barriers in accessing services. S.
