8.A. - Page 2 programs, such as CDBG and HOME. The Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. The City reports on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). As part of the Consolidated Plan, the City must certify that it will affirmatively further fair housing, which means conducting an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al), taking appropriate actions to overcome the effects of any impediments identified through that analysis, and keeping records of these actions The City's current 2010-2015 Plan will expire effective June 30, 2015. Annual Action Plan A key component of the Consolidated Plan is the preparation of an Annual Action Plan. In Redwood City, the Annual Action Plan constitutes funding recommendations made by the Housing and Human Concerns Committee (HHCC) for approval by Council each year to implement the five-year strategy. The funding recommendations include amounts and specific programs and activities to be funded from each annual entitlement of CDBG and HOME funds the City will receive during the five-year term. The HHCC is recommending an Annual Action Plan for fiscal year 2015-2016 that proposes funding for programs and activities to be carried out during the first year of the Plan. The total amount of funding will be based on the City's expected entitlement from CDBG and HOME, as well as program income received from the City's Home Improvement Loan Program's revolving loan fund. Other state and local funds will be used to leverage these funds to address the priority needs of the Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan includes an Executive Summary (Attachment 1) and Budget (Attachment 2) which identifies all sources of funding, specific activities recommended for funding, and information regarding the location of activities to be funded. The HHCC forwards their recommendations for capital and land use related activities to the Planning Commission (Commission) each year to concur that the proposed activities for funding meet the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan. The capital and land use activities recommended for funding in 2015-2016 are continuing activities that were reviewed by the Commission last year. The HHCC and Planning Commission's review of the Consolidated Plan priorities for conformance to the General Plan will assure that the strategy, priorities, and proposed programs for funding will follow the Land Use, Housing, and Human Services Elements of the General Plan. Copies of the public notices, meeting agendas and minutes are available for public review in the Planning & Housing Division of the Community Development Department. Citizen Participation
