The CDBG Entitlement status of the county program is that of an Urban County Consortium, which comes into existence through the voluntary participation formalized through a Cooperation Agreement, between the County and local town, village and city governments. The funds are allocated on a competitive basis to the municipalities that participate. The current program objectives by priority were established during the 2008-2012 Consolidated Plan process in conjunction with the Dutchess County Community Development Advisory Committee, which is comprised of three chief elected officials of local municipalities who are members of the Urban County Consortium; and four community representative members from the areas of local government, economic development, housing and human service. The detailed program priorities are attached. These objectives are consistent with the primary and other national objectives of the CDBG program and have been developed in accordance with CDBG rules and regulations. A summary of the program objectives includes the following priorities: Affordable Housing, Economic Development, Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements, and Public Services. Other Consolidated Plan priorities also include Homeless Housing/Services, Anti -Poverty Strategy, Lead -Based Paint, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS, Special Needs, and Barriers to Affordable Housing. The overall approach toward selection of Community Development projects is to permit each consortium community to define its own needs and to develop programs to meet these concerns. This approach, based on local autonomy in assessing community development needs, is consistent with the decentralized philosophy of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. In order to implement the main objective of the program, that being to benefit low to moderate income persons, and focus the funding toward targeted groups and priorities, the Community Development Advisory Committee has adopted the attached priorities. The County has an obligation over the 2008-2012 five-year period covered by the Consolidated Plan to address all of the Community Development Block Grant Program priorities in the Plan. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES A. Introduction Dutchess County Priority will be given to CDBG projects that: • contain an affordable housing component; • multi jurisdictional projects; and • projects that are leveraged with other funding sources.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM 2011 PROGRAM YEAR MUNICIPAL GUIDELINES The following policies and procedures have been developed by the Community Development staff in conjunction with the Dutchess County Community Development Advisory Committee as a means of providing a comprehensive set of guidelines for the implementation of the Community Development Block Grant Program. Please take these procedures into consideration when submitting your application. The categories are in alphabetical order, not in order of occurrence. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS Administrative fees paid to consultants for implementing Community Development projects is limited to 10% of a project's cost. Eligible administrative fees include application development, preparation and processing of required documents, and attendance at pre -construction conferences. Please note that municipal personnel are not eligible to be reimbursed for time spent administering the CDBG program. Administrative fees will include application development not to exceed $250 per project. Fees for applications not awarded Community Development funding will not be eligible for reimbursement. AMENDMENTS It is not permissible to amend the scope of an approved project. However, it is possible to amend budget items within an approved project. Municipalities considering amending budget item(s) are required to contact Elizabeth Doyle, Community Development Administrator to discuss the change and the procedure for submitting the budget amendment. APPLICATION DEADLINE One original of each application is to be submitted to the Community Development Office, Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development, 27 High Street, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 by 5:00 p.m., Friday, October 1, 2010. After the submission deadline, the application will be reviewed to determine whether or not it is complete. If an application lacks certain technical items or contains a technical error, such as an incorrect signature, the applicant will be electronically notified that it has ten (10) calendar days from the date of notification to correct the technical error. If the applicant fails to submit the missing material within the 10 -day period, the application will be disqualified. APPLICATION REVIEW AND APPROVAL The application process is a competitive one. Attached are the 2011 established priorities of the program and the detail of the review process. The review process for applications from municipalities requesting funding is as follows. Each application is initially reviewed to verify whether it meets the mandatory federal eligibility requirements. A site visit is then conducted and a staff evaluation of the application is completed. This evaluation takes into account many factors, including the timetable of the application, the proposed budget, other funding sources, and overall project feasibility as it relates to the requirements and scope of the Community Development Block Grant Program. Each application receives a preliminary funding recommendation summary which is presented to the Community Development Advisory Committee. The committee reviews the recommendations and requests for additional information are provided by the Community Development staff. Final funding determinations are recommended by the Community Development Advisory Committee to the Dutchess County Executive, the final authority for the allocation of program year funds. CONSOLIDATED PLAN PRIORITIES The County has an obligation over the 2008-2012 five-year period covered by the Consolidated Plan to address all of the Community Development Block Grant Program priorities in the Plan. Therefore, the Community Development Advisory Committee reserves the right to fund projects as necessary in order to meet this objective. CONSORTIUM MEMBERSHIP Every three years, the Urban County Consortium is reformed and municipalities have the option of continuing to participate in the Community Development Block Grant Program. Any municipality that is not currently a member of the consortium is ineligible to apply for funding from the CDBG program or make use of the various programs funded by CDBG. EXTENSIONS A municipality will receive electronic notification six months prior to the contractual project completion date as a reminder that the date is approaching. Should a municipality wish to request an extension, this extension request must be submitted in writing upon receiving the notification of the project completion deadline. The staff, in cooperation with the Community Development Advisory Committee, will review the extension request and will make the final determination as to whether the extension is to be granted. The CD staff will respond by letter informing the municipality of the decision. Only one extension per project will be entertained by the Community Development Advisory Committee. GUARANTEED ALLOCATIONS The City of Beacon is guaranteed a 15% allocation of the 2011 program year total CDBG grant award. The 15% allocation is based upon the total CDBG grant after the deduction of a portion of the County administrative line. As the city does receive a lump sum allocation, all 2011 program guidelines apply to city CDBG funded projects with the exception of maximum grant award and number of projects submitted. Specific limitations are not set for these two categories due to the nature of the city's CDBG funding. HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES Applications from human service agencies for program services serving residents county -wide should be submitted directly to the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development. If a human service agency is applying for a physical structure improvement/construction project, those activities are required to be sponsored by the municipality in which the project is located. Please be advised that the Community Development Advisory Committee has determined that fifteen (15) percent of the 2011 total allocation will be set aside for human service program service activities. MAXIMUM GRANT AWARD The maximum grant award for an Affordable Housing, Infrastructure, Transportation, or Economic Development activity is $150,000; and $100,000 for Handicapped Accessibility, Parks and Recreation, and Historic Preservation projects. Please note that this is not a guarantee that an activity will necessarily receive the maximum amount if it is requested. NUMBER OF PROJECTS SUBMITTED There is a limit of one (1) application that may be submitted by a municipality, with the exception that a second application may be submitted if it is for an eligible housing project. It is required that the municipality, contact Elizabeth Doyle, Community Development Administrator for an eligibility determination prior to submitting the housing application. PAYMENT REQUESTS Payments requests submitted for reimbursement must not be for less than $250, with the exception of the final request, which may be for a lesser amount. The administrative time spent processing smaller requests is not cost-effective. PRE -DEVELOPMENT COSTS Architectural, engineering and design costs for each individual project will be limited to 10% of that project's final approved allocation, with the exception being a project that is solely for one of those activities. PROJECT COMPLETION Funds allocated for municipal and sponsored projects must be expended within eighteen months from the contractual project completion date. The date of the start of the program year for municipalities is contingent upon federal administrative actions and will be part of the contract between the municipality and the county. The official federal program year start date is March 1, 2011. PROJECT COMPLETION RECAPTURE POLICY When a project is 100% complete and the final Request for Payment has been processed, should there be funds remaining in that project account they will be recaptured and placed in the cost overruns account. The municipality will be contacted electronically to verify that the project is, in fact, 100% complete and all costs have been submitted. This will be followed up with a formal letter stating that the remaining amount has been recaptured. Recaptured funds will be reallocated during each annual application cycle. PROJECT PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION Pages 16 through 19 of this application kit outline the steps required prior to a project beginning and those required during implementation. Please refer to this overview for reference when completing an application so that the project will be viable taking into consideration these federal requirements. PUBLIC HEARING To be in accordance with federal regulations, the municipality must hold a public hearing to discuss the intended use of Community Development funds. It is required that a copy of the public notice, the meeting minutes and the resolution be submitted with the application. An application which is received on the required date that does not document that a public hearing was held prior to the application due date will be considered ineligible and will not be considered for possible funding. A sample resolution is Appendix E, page 43 of this packet. Municipalities are required to invite representatives from all proposed projects to the hearing. In this way, full participation is guaranteed. SITE VISITS Community Development staff, in cooperation with the Dutchess Community Development Advisory Committee, will make site visits to proposed projects as necessary before final funding determinations are made. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Community Development staff are available to provide technical assistance at all times during the application process.

ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY The CD Division completes an environmental review for each project funded with CDBG dollars. The environmental review must be completed before construction can begin. At the beginning of the environmental review process the project is classified and areas of compliance determined. A project can be classified as one of the following types: exempt, categorically excluded, and environmental assessments. Exempt projects require minimal review. Most CDBG projects are categorically excluded (CE) since they have some impact on the environment. A CE environmental review takes 2-4 months. Projects classified as environmental assessments have significant impact on the environment and take 3-7 months to complete. Municipalities must also insure compliance the NYS SEQRA regulations. The most common areas of compliance include: floodplain, wetland, historic properties/districts, coastal zone and endangered species. Projects located in or adjacent to these areas must secure the necessary clearances before the environmental review can be completed. More detailed information on the environmental review process is located on page 39 of the application guidelines. Projects with outstanding environmental issues will be notified in writing upon preliminary approval of the project. 1. Include a tax parcel map showing the specific location of the project: If the project is located on a specific parcel of land note the Tax parcel number: 2. Identify the type of action under NYS SEQRA: Type I Type II Unlisted 3. List the lead agency for SEQRA and the staff/consultant responsible for insuring compliance with SEQRA requirements: Lead Agency: Staff : DUTCHESS COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM 2011 HOUSING APPLICATION AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING AND AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING The County is required to insure that CDBG funds are used to "Affirmatively Further Fair Housing". In general terms this means funds should be used to: • Eliminate all forms of illegal housing discrimination in Dutchess County. • Promote fair housing choice for all persons in Dutchess County. • Provide opportunities in all areas of Dutchess County for inclusive patterns of housing occupancy regardless of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, disability and national origin. • Promote and provide housing that is accessible to persons with disabilities. • Foster compliance with non-discrimination provisions of Fair Housing Act in all areas of Dutchess County. The extent to which a project promotes fair housing choice in Dutchess County will be one of the factors in the County's selection process. CDBG funded housing developments must develop and implement an affirmative marketing plan. The purpose of this marketing is to promote fair housing choice throughout Dutchess County and identify and encourage those "least likely to apply" to apply for the housing.

This requires that each activity meet specific tests for either: 1. Benefiting low and moderate -income persons. 2. Aiding in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; 3. Meeting other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. A. NATIONAL OBJECTIVES 1. Activities benefiting low and moderate income persons. Activities considered to benefit low and moderate income persons are divided into four categories: a. Area benefit activities b. Limited clientele activities C. Housing activities d. Job creation or retention activities l.a.) An area benefit activity is one which meets the needs of low and moderate income persons residing in an area where at least 510 of the residents are low and moderate income persons. There are also a number of blocks within municipalities which qualify. An applicant also has the option of conducting a field interview to prove that a particular activity is located in and/or will benefit an area or population of 51% or more low and moderate income persons. 1.b.) A limited clientele activity is one which benefits a specific group of people, at least 51% of whom are low and moderate income persons. To qualify under this category, the activity must benefit a clientele who are generally presumed to be principally low and moderate income persons. The following groups are currently presumed by HUD to meet This criterion: - Abused Children - Elderly Persons - Battered Spouses - Homeless Persons - Adults Meeting Bureau of Census' Definition of Severely - Disabled Persons - Illiterate Adults - Persons Living with AIDS - Migrant Farm Workers It is also possible to qualify a limited clientele activity by three additional methods: - Require information on family size and income so that it is evident that at least 51% of the clientele are persons whose family income does not exceed the low and moderate income limits. - Have income eligibility requirements which limit the activity exclusively to low and moderate persons. - Be of such nature and location that it may be concluded that the activity's clientele will primarily be low and moderate income persons. 1c.) A low and moderate income housing activity is one which adds or improves permanent, residential structures which will be occupied by low and moderate income households upon completion. 1d.) A low and moderate jobs activity is one which creates or retains permanent jobs, at least 51% of which are either taken by low and moderate income persons or considered to be available to low and moderate income persons. 2.

Rehabilitate; or, Install the distribution lines and facilities of privately -owned utilities, provided such activity meets a national objective of the program. B. INTERIM ASSISTANCE CDBG funds may be used for interim assistance activities provided those activities meet a national objective of the program. There are two categories of interim assistance activities: (1) The first category covers limited improvements to a deteriorating area as a prelude to permanent improvements. To qualify under this category: The area must be exhibiting objectively determinable signs of physical deterioration. The grantee must determine that immediate action is needed to arrest the deterioration and that permanent improvements will be undertaken as soon as practicable. Documentation of that determination must be maintained. (2) The second category covers activities to alleviate an emergency condition. To qualify under the second category: The grantee's chief executive officer must determine that emergency conditions threatening the public health and safety exist in the area and require immediate resolution. Documentation of that determination must be maintained. C. COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL REHABILITATION CDBG funds may be used to finance the rehabilitation of commercial or industrial buildings, provided such rehabilitation meets a national objective of the CDBG program. The rehabilitation of a commercial or industrial building owned by a private for-profit business may qualify under the "Rehabilitation" category only if the rehabilitation is limited to improvements to the exterior of the building and the correction of code violations. Further improvements to such a building will have to meet the requirements of the "Special Economic Development" category. Commercial or industrial rehabilitation does not include: .

APPENDIX C OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW REQUIREMENTS The CD Division must complete an environmental review for each project with CDBG dollars. The environmental review, including the release of funds from HUD, must be completed before actual construction may begin on a project. At the beginning of the environmental review process County staff looks to see if projects are located in and/or adjacent to the following areas: 1. Floodplain/Wetland 2. Historic Property/District 3. Coastal Zone 4. Sole Source Aquifer 5. Endangered Species 6. Airport Clear Zones and Accident Potential Zones The staff also looks for the compliance in the following areas: 7. Clean Air Act 8. Farmland Protection Policy Act 9. Environmental Justice 10. Noise Abatement/Control Standards 11. Explosive and Flammable Operations 12. Toxic Chemicals and Radioactive Materials This is the compliance list for categorically excluded activities, which make up a majority of the CDBG activities. Environmental assessments have additional areas of compliance. Projects which impact the compliance factors noted above must obtain the necessary clearances before the environmental review can be finalized and the project can begin. In addition to determining the compliance factors, County staff classifies each project according to the Federal environmental regulations. The environmental status of the proposed project will be from one of the following three (3) determinations: 1. Exempt 2. Categorically Excluded 3. Environmental Assessment Exempt - (i.e., planning study, administrative costs), requires no further review. Categorically Excluded - Categorically excluded activities include projects, which may have some impact on the environment. Typically they include: water and sewer line replacement, sidewalk and road replacement, and upgrades to existing parks. These projects sometimes require one or more clearances from other Federal or State authorities. Once the clearances have been attained, a Notice of Intent is published which results in a release of funds letter from HUD. The environmental review process is complete and construction can begin once HUD's letter is received. This entire process will take approximately 2-4 months from the time all the necessary information has been received depending on the clearances required. Categorically excluded activities, which require no clearances, can be converted to exempt and require no publication. Environmental Assessment - Projects that cannot be classified into either of the above noted categories are considered Environmental Assessments. These projects generally have the potential for significant environmental impacts. These projects may also require clearances as noted above. These projects are also reviewed for potential environmental impacts. If no impact is determined and once all clearances are received, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is published which results in a release of funds letter from HUD. If there is a Finding of Significant Impact, then an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared by the municipality. This process will take approximately 3-7 months from the time all the necessary information has been received depending on the clearances required. Project schedules - The completion of the environmental review process may have an impact on the project's time schedule as construction may not begin nor may funds be released prior to the environmental review completion. SEQRA - Projects must also comply with New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The municipality must classify the project (Type I, II or Unlisted), determine the lead agency and complete the required documentation to insure compliance with SEQRA, a copy of which must be sent to the County. APPENDIX D COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM 2011 PROGRAM YEAR MUNICIPAL REVIEW PROCESS Competition for Dutchess County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds is quite competitive; the Department receives requests that far exceed the amount of funding available. To ensure projects are selected fairly, staff members from the Department conduct extensive reviews of all submissions. Preliminary recommendations for funding are made to the Community Development Advisory Community CDAC). The recommendations of the CDAC are sent to the County Executive for final review and approval. A public hearing is also held to provide citizens with an opportunity to comment on proposed awards. How Municioal Projects Are Selected The staff will begin the evaluation of each project by first asking the following questions: 1. Is one of the three National Objectives being addressed by the project? 2. Is the proposed project an eligible activity? 3. Does the proposed project meet a priority of the 2008-2012 Consolidated Plan? If the Project does not meet the first three questions listed above, it is eliminated from consideration. The following questions 4 through 12 will aid in the evaluation and ultimate funding recommendations. 4. Does the project benefit a substantial number of low to moderate income persons? 5. Is the estimated completion time for the project realistic and allow for completion by the drawdown deadline? 6. Is the proposed project a continuation of a project previously funded by the CDBG Program? 7. Does the municipality have outstanding CDBG projects and funds? 8. Does the project represent an innovative or creative approach to a problem? 9. Is the project consistent with the County's current Consolidated Plan and other County Plans and initiatives such as Directions, Greenway Connections and Centers, Greenspaces Plan, and the PDCTC Metropolitan Transportation Plan? 10. Is the project a cooperative effort from two or more municipalities? 11. Has the municipality provides other sources of funds? 12. How is the municipalities organizational capacity; is the administration of previously funded programs positive? If you are applying for a housing project, the following are additional questions that will be considered. 13. Are the development and construction costs in line with similar projects? 14. If the applicant has received HOME or CDBG funds in the past, were those projects completed in a timely fashion and with quality workmanship? Has the applicant maintained the projects in an appropriate manner and complied with all rental/sale price and income regulations? 15. Is the municipality where the project is located supportive of the project? Specifically, is it likely to receive the necessary planning and zoning approvals? 16. Does the municipality the project is located in have a plan or incentives to create moderately priced housing? 17. Does the project benefit any underserved populations? 18. Are HOME funds proposed to be used in the development of this project? 19. Does the project further fair housing choice throughout Dutchess County? 20. Does the project further the goals of the Dutchess County Continuum of Care? Answers to these questions are used, in part, by staff to prepare recommendations on each project. HUD also imposes several requirements on the allocation of projects as follows: No more than 200 of funding can be spent on Planning and Administrative expenses; No more than 15% of funding can be spent on human service program services; At least 70% of funding must be spent on projects that benefit low and moderate income persons.
