BACKGROUND Fayetteville has been a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement city since 1975. Funding is based on a formula allocation that takes into account such factors as population, percent of low/moderate income persons, and the number of housing units. This process sets aside CDBG for the City of Fayetteville each year the Community Resources Division submits an annual "Action Plan" outlining the proposed used for the funds to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) for CDBG funding. If the Action Plan meets HUD requirements an agreement is received. This agreement must be executed, returned to the HUD field office in Little Rock then sent to Washington D.C. for the release of funds. Grant amounts vary each year dependent upon funding levels authorized by Congress through the annual federal budget process. The estimated award for the 2009 budget was $635,930.00 — the actual grant award amount was $649,821.00. This change resulted in an increased grant revenue amount of $13,891 00 Increase has been added to the Housing Rehabilitation Program budget as detailed below.

The Program Year for these funds began on January 1, 2009. It is noted that the Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan submitted for the use of these funds used a planning figure of $635,930, which is less than the actual funding amount. Accordingly, please make the necessary corrections in your proposed budget and activities to reflect the actual funding received. Also, please provide this office with a copy of your revised budget within 15 days of the date of this letter. Enclosed are four copies of the Grant Agreement and Funding Approval form that have been executed by this office. This document constitutes the contract between the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of Fayetteville for the CDBG program. Please sign all copies. After execution, please return three copies to this office as soon as possible. The third copy should be retained in the City's files. HUD Form 7015.15, Request for Release of Funds and Certification (RROF), under the provision of 24 CFR Part 58 (Environmental Review Procedures for the Community Development Block Grant Program) for program year 2009 activities was received in this office on November 18, 2008. It appears that activities scheduled for 2009 do not require the preparation and dissemination of an environrnental impact statement. An executed Form HUD 7015.16, Notice of Removal of Grant Conditions, is enclosed. Funds for these activities may he obligated/expended upon receipt of this form. The special condition in your Grant Agreement and Funding Approval concerning the review procedures under Executive Order (E.G.) 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 52, restricts the obligation or expenditure of funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities until the completion of the review process and receipt of written notification of release of funds from HUD. Since you have not submitted your Consolidated Action Plan (CP) for review under E.O. 12372, we assume you do not propose to use funds for activities subject to review. However, the condition requires that in the event you amend or otherwise revise your CP to use funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities, you must receive written release of funds from HUD before obligating or expending funds for such activities. • We have enclosed information relative to compliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. This is a reminder of the priority the Department places on ensuring that employment opportunities are made available to local residents as required. On behalf of the Department, I wish the City of Fayetteville much success in the use of these resources to implement the City's community development initiatives. If you have any questions or if we may be of any assistance to the City in the implementation of its CDBG program, please contact me at (501) 918-5700, or Rhonda Shannon, Community Planning and Development Representative, at (501) 918-5732.
