SUMMARY: Annually the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reviews the
performance of each entitlement community according to 24 CFR 570.902. On November 1 of each
calendar year HUD runs a formula calculation and the amount of entitlement grant funds available to
the recipient under grant agreements but undisbursed by the U.S. Treasury must be under 1.5 times
the entitlement grant amount for its current program year. Currently, the City of Bremerton is over the
1.5 ratio by$119,389, a 1.75 ratio. There is a significant unspent balance on the 2018 Public Works
and Utilities Quincy Square Engineering and Design Project with no real plan to get the funding
drawn down in a timely manner.
To remedy, to ensure CFR compliance, is to create a substantial amendment to the 2018 CDBG
Annual Action Plan to transfer unspent funding in the amount of$120,000 from the Quincy Square
project and create a new activity. The City's CDBG Policy Plan outlines the procedures that must be
followed to make an amendment to the grant awards. The plan requires that the Project Review
Committee must meet and make a funding recommendation. That recommendation is published and
a 30-day public comment period is opened. The comment period ran from September 25th-October
26th all public comments have been forwarded to the City Council for review.
