Mr. Harold DominguezCity of San Angelo115 W 1st StreetP.O. Box 1751San Angelo, TX 76903

August 24, 2011

Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of Federal funding to compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP, its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and regulations. We at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice Department funding.

Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs

As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to employment practices but also in the delivery of services orbenefits. Federal law also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.

Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals

In accordance with Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipients of Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limitedEnglish proficiency (LEP). For more information on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals, please see the website at http://www.lep.gov.

Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations

The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith-based organizations. In general, the regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C.F.R. part 38, requires State Administering Agencies to treat these organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from making award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious composition of its board of directors.

The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the Department of Justice to fund inherently religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded inherently religious activities, they must be held separately from the Department of Justice funded program, and customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/etfbo.htm.

State Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as amended; the Victims of Crime Act, as amended; and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the Justice Department has concluded that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is reasonably construed, on a case-by-case basis, to require that its funding agencies permit faith-based organizations applying for funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive DOJ funds and to continue considering religion when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids considering of religion in employment decisions by grantees.

Questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in employment may be directed to this Office.

Dear Mr. Dominguez:



Office for Civil Rights

Enforcing Civil Rights Laws

All recipients of Federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects a number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal employment opportunity standards.

Complying with the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements

In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c), or other Federal grant program requirements, must meet two additional requirements:(1) complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the development of an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP), 28 C.F.R. § 42.301-.308, and (2) submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.205(5) or 31.202(5)).

1) Meeting the EEOP Requirement

In accordance with Federal regulations, Assurance No. 6 in the Standard Assurances, COPS Assurance No. 8.B, or certain Federal grant program requirements, your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting requirements:

If your organization has received an award for $500,000 or more and has 50 or more employees (counting both full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare an EEOP and submit it to OCR for review within 60 days from the date of this letter. For assistance in developing an EEOP, please consult OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. You may also request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at OCR by dialing (202) 616-3208.

If your organization received an award between $25,000 and $500,000 and has 50 or more employees, your organization still has to prepare an EEOP, but it does not have to submit the EEOP to OCR for review. Instead, your organization has to maintain the EEOP on file and make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm.

If your organization received an award for less than $25,000; or if your organization has less than 50 employees, regardless of the amount ofthe award; or if your organization is a medical institution, educational institution, nonprofit organization or Indian tribe, then your organization is exempt from the EEOP requirement. However, your organization must complete Section A of the Certification Form and return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm.

2) Submitting Findings of Discrimination

In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination against your organization after a due process hearing, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, your organization must submit a copy of the finding to OCR for review.

Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients

If your organization makes subawards to other agencies, you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also comply with all of the applicable Federal civil rights laws, including the requirements pertaining to developing and submitting an EEOP, reporting Findings of Discrimination, and providing language services to LEP persons. State agencies that make subawards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.

If we can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, please call OCR at (202) 307-0690 or visit our website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

The grantee agrees to comply with the applicable requirements of 28 C.F.R. Part 38, the Department of Justice regulation governing "Equal Treatment for Faith Based Organizations" (the "Equal Treatment Regulation").

Recipients of direct grants may still engage in inherently religious activities, but such activities must be separate in time or place from the Department of Justice funded program, and participation in such activities by individuals receiving services from the grantee or a sub-grantee must be voluntary. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs directly funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the provisionof services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. Notwithstanding any other special condition of this award, faith-based organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion as a basis for employment. See http://www.ojp.gov/about/ocr/equal_fbo.htm.

The recipient acknowledges that all programs funded through subawards, whether at the state or local levels, must conform to the grant program requirements as stated in BJA program guidance.

The recipient agrees that funds received under this award will not be used to supplant State or local funds, but will be used to increase the amounts of such funds that would, in the absence of Federal funds, be made available for law enforcement activities.

Award recipients must submit quarterly a Federal Financial Report (SF-425) and annual performance reports through GMS (https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov). Consistent with the Department's responsibilities under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), P.L. 103-62, applicants who receive funding under this solicitation must provide data that measure the results of their work. Therefore, quarterly performance metrics reports must be submittedthrough BJA's Performance Measurement Tool (PMT) website (www.bjaperformancetools.org).

Consideration of ratifying a Resolution of the City of San Angelo Development Corporation acknowledging the critical water supply and water quality needs of the state of Texas and of the communities of West Texas, the infrastructure required to meet those needs, the necessity for cost effective programs to assist local government in financing water related projects, the effectiveness of financing opportunities offered by the Texas Water Development Board, and supporting proposition 2, a proposed Texas constitutional amendment providing for water financial assistance bonds

Summary: Proposition 2 would amend the constitution to authorize the Texas Water Development Board to issue additional general obligation bonds on a continuing basis for one or more accounts of the Texas Water Development Fund II, with the restriction that the total amount of bonds outstanding at any time does not exceed $6 billion.

The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment providing for the issuance of additional general obligation bonds by the Texas Water Development Board in an amount not to exceed $6 billion at any time outstanding.”

The City of San Angelo Development Corporation also voted unanimously to support the proposed resolution at their meeting September 15, 2011.

History: Texas Water Development Board has been instrumental to the City’s water development plan, specifically in securing funding for the Hickory Pipeline project. The Board issues and sell general obligation bonds to support financial assistance programs for the planning, design, and construction of water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater and nonpoint source pollution control, flood control, and agricultural water conservation projects.

Financial Impact: Proposition 2 is designed to be self supporting, meaning that repayment of the bonds will not require State of Texas general revenue. The TWDB will use this bond authority to operate a self-supporting loan program, which means that repayments on loans will pay for the bonds. Entities that choose to use this funding opportunity to address their future water and wastewater needs will repay the principal and interest on the loans they receive from the TWDB. Those principal and interest payments will be used to repay the bonds. Because the cost of water-related infrastructure can be significant, an entity can use the TWDB funding to pay for construction and then pay the principal and interest on the loan with revenue received through use of the facility over time. Those persons benefiting from the projects will repay the loans, and thus the bonds

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR WATER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BONDS

Texas Water Development Board Proposition 2

The constitutional amendment allowing for the issuance of additional general obligation bonds by the Texas Water Development Board in an amount not to exceed $6 billion outstanding at any time. As the population of Texas continues to grow, so does its need for cost-effective water and wastewater infrastructure. Through its funding programs, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) provides financial assistance to communities for water and wastewater infrastructure projects. On November 8, 2011, Texans can vote on a constitutional amendment, Proposition 2, that will help ensure the public health, water quality, and economic viability of Texas for years to come. WHAT IS PROPOSITION 2? Proposition 2 authorizes the TWDB to issue additional general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $6 billion outstanding at any time for water-related projects. The TWDB will use the bond proceeds to make loans to political subdivisions in Texas for a variety of water, wastewater, and flood control projects. Since 1957, the legislature and voters have approved constitutional amendments authorizing the TWDB to issue up to $4.23 billion in bonds for financing water-related projects, of which $3.29 billion has been issued. Of the amount issued, over $1 billion has been issued just in the last three years. Without additional bonding authority, the TWDB will not be able to provide adequate financing to meet the water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Texas. The TWDB estimates that its existing bond authority will be exhausted within the next one to two years. This proposition will provide the TWDB with the necessary constitutional authority to meet the water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Texas. WHAT IS THE TWDB? The TWDB was created in 1957 in response to the severe drought of the 1950s. The TWDB is the state agency authorized to issue and sell general obligation bonds to support financial assistance programs for the planning, design, and construction of water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater and nonpoint source pollution control, flood control, and agricultural water conservation projects.

2

WILL PROPOSITION 2 COST TAXPAYERS? The only cost to the state will be the cost of the election. Repayment of the bonds will not require State of Texas general revenue. The TWDB will use this bond authority to operate a self-supporting loan program, which means that repayments on loans will pay for the bonds. Entities that choose to use this funding opportunity to address their future water and wastewater needs will repay the principal and interest on the loans they receive from the TWDB. Those principal and interest payments will be used to repay the bonds. Because the cost of water-related infrastructure can be significant, an entity can use the TWDB funding to pay for construction and then pay the principal and interest on the loan with revenue received through use of the facility over time. Those persons benefiting from the projects will repay the loans, and thus the bonds. HOW WILL THESE BONDS BE USED? The TWDB issues general obligation bonds and uses the proceeds to make water-related loans to political subdivisions in Texas. The majority of TWDB loans are made for water and wastewater projects, and funds may also be used for flood control projects. The loans provide financial assistance needed to make facility repairs, improvements, and expansions, which may include water towers, transmission lines and water wells. The loans also provide funds for building new water supply and water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as flood control projects. In addition, the TWDB uses bond proceeds to meet the state's match requirements for federal grants each year for the TWDB’s two State Revolving Fund Loan Programs—the Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds. The state revolving funds provide loans at interest rates lower than those offered by traditional markets for financing water and wastewater projects. In 2010, these grants totaled $179,380,000. If the TWDB is unable to provide the required matches, it will be ineligible for the federal grants, and future federal grants will be disbursed to other states. WHO CAN RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE TWDB’S PROGRAMS? The TWDB primarily provides loans to political subdivisions, such as cities, counties, districts, river authorities, and also to nonprofit water supply corporations. Due to the state’s strong credit rating, the TWDB can often issue debt at more cost-effective rates and then lend to community borrowers who benefit from the lower interest rates available on the state’s bonds. Borrowers who may be unable to access funds from traditional markets particularly benefit from the TWDB’s financial assistance programs. RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF BOND PROCEEDS The use of the bond proceeds authorized by this constitutional amendment is limited to financial assistance to political subdivisions for water, wastewater, and flood control projects.

The additional bond authority cannot be used for other purposes such as TWDB administrative expenses or grants.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment For Water Financial Assistance Bonds

Texas Water Development Board Proposition 2

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Texas Water Development Board? A: The TWDB is a constitutionally created agency authorized to issue and sell general

obligation bonds to support financial assistance programs for the planning, design, and construction of water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater and nonpoint source pollution control, flood control, and agricultural water conservation projects.

Q: Will Proposition 2 cost taxpayers? A: The only cost to the state will be the cost of the election. Repayment of the bonds will not

require State of Texas general revenue. The TWDB will use this bond authority to operate a self-supporting loan program, which means that repayments on loans will pay for the bonds. Entities that choose to use this funding opportunity to address their future water and wastewater needs will repay the principal and interest on the loans they receive from the TWDB. Those principal and interest payments will be used to repay the bonds. Because the cost of water-related infrastructure can be significant, an entity can use the TWDB funding to pay for construction and then pay the principal and interest on the loan with revenue received through use of the facility over time. Those persons benefiting from the projects will repay the loans, and thus the bonds.

Q. How does the bond process work?

Simply put, a bond is a loan. It is a contract to repay borrowed money with interest. Local entities request a loan from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), who, on behalf of the state, then issues bonds and loans the proceeds to the local entity for water-related projects. The local entities repay their loans with interest, and the TWDB then uses those funds to pay the scheduled payments on the TWDB-issued bonds. As a result, these bonds do not draw from state general revenue.

Q. What will Proposition 2 be used for? A: Proposition 2 gives the TWDB the ability to partner with local entities by providing loans to

fund water, wastewater, and flood control projects in Texas. Local entities use the loans they receive from TWDB to repair, improve, or expand existing facilities, such as water towers, transmission lines, water wells and sewer collection lines. The loans may also be used to build new infrastructure.

2

Q. Why do we need Proposition 2? A: The water and wastewater infrastructure in Texas is aging and needs repair. Additionally,

more infrastructure is needed to deliver and/or ensure continuous delivery of water to all Texans. The population in Texas is projected to double over the next 50 years while its water supplies decrease. If additional water supplies and infrastructure are not created, Texas businesses and workers could lose an estimated $115.7 billion in income, and the creation of 1.1 million new jobs is potentially jeopardized.

The 2011 Regional Water Plans identified $27 billion needed from state financial assistance programs in order to meet water supply needs over the next 50 years. This amount, however, does not include funds for repair and rehabilitation of water infrastructure necessary for meeting state and federal standards, nor additional wastewater treatment and disposal capacity and additional flood control capacity.

Q: What is the state’s role? A: The TWDB is the state agency that provides low-interest loans to local government entities

for water, wastewater and flood control projects. The TWDB can issue loans at more cost-effective rates than are available in traditional markets due to the state’s high credit rating.

Q: Who benefits from Proposition 2? A: Texas. Cities, counties, water districts, river authorities, and nonprofit water supply

corporations are all eligible to use TWDB’s financial assistance programs in order to address water and wastewater infrastructure needs.

Q: What will happen if Proposition 2 fails? A: Because of the economy, many local entities need to partner with the state to access funds

for water-related infrastructure. Without the funds provided through Proposition 2, most local entities will not be able to get financing for water-related infrastructure.

Q: Is this the first time the state has asked for water bonds?

A: No. Since 1957, the legislature and voters have approved constitutional amendments authorizing the TWDB to issue up to $4.23 billion in bonds for financing water-related projects, of which $3.29 billion has been issued. Of the amount issued, over $1 billion has been issued just in the last three years. Once the remaining funds are depleted, the TWDB will not be able to assist local entities with water infrastructure needs.

3

Q: Is this a blank check? A: No. Bonds are issued based on requests for funds from local entities. In addition, the

Bond Review Board, chaired by the Governor and composed of state leadership, oversees issuance of all state bonds, including the TWDB’s bonds. At any time, the state can deny TWDB’s request to issue bonds.

Q: Will the bonds be used to build reservoirs? A: Since reservoirs are very expensive to build, they typically need a specific appropriation

from the legislature. These bonds may be used for reservoir construction, but a legislative appropriation would likely be necessary.

Q: Who should we contact for more information? A: Contact Melanie Callahan, Interim Executive Administrator of the Texas Water

Development Board, at 512-463-7850 or [email protected].

Location: 1730 North Main Street, an approximately 2.6 acre tract of property

formed by segments of surveys, bordered by North Emerick Street on the west, East 18th Street on the north, North Main Street on the east, and East 14th Street on the south, in north central San Angelo.

Purpose: Approving the zone change to Planned Development (PD) to allow

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, EXHIBIT “A” OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF SAN ANGELO, TEXAS, WHICH SAID EXHIBIT “A” OF CHAPTER 12 ADOPTS ZONING REGULATIONS, USE DISTRICTS AND A ZONING MAP, IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BY CHANGING THE ZONING AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE FOLLOWING PROPERTY, TO WIT: 1730 North Main Street, an approximately 2.6 acre tract of property

formed by segments of surveys, bordered by North Emerick Street on the west, East 18th Street on the north, North Main Street on the east, and East 14th Street on the south, in north central San Angelo, changing the zoning classification from Neighborhood Commercial (CN) to Planned Development (PD) District for a combination of office, aggregate and materials storage, accessory parking, and contractor usage; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING A PENALTY

Summary: The City Council may:

(1) recommend approving the proposed zone change;

(2) modify the application to some alternative zoning classification believed to be more appropriate; or

(3) recommend denying the proposed zone change.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving, subject to conditions as listed below for the proposed zone change. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve this request on August 15, 2011.

History and Background:

General Information

Existing Zoning: Neighborhood Commercial (CN) Existing Land Use: The subject property is currently used as office

use, industrial service use, and warehouse and freight movement. However, under the classifications above the subject property is limited in outdoor storage and cannot continue these combined uses under CN zoning. Therefore, the proponent is requesting a zone change to PD zoning to allow the above uses on the subject property.

Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: CN, CG, CO, RS-1 Single Family Housing West: CN Single Family & Commercial (Bruton

Trailers on 19th St and N. Main.) South: CG/CH Single Family Housing East: CN Single Family Housing & Vacant Lot

Thoroughfares/Streets: On the north and east sides, East 18th Street and North Emerick Street, of the subject property the existing streets are “major collector”. On the south end, East 14th Street, of the subject property the street is “minor collector”. The west side, North Main Street, of the subject property is a “major arterial”.

Zoning History: The subject property holds a Special Permit, SP

28, which allows the westernmost lot of the subject property to have a service building and warehouse.

Applicable Regulations: All CN regulations apply, with the exemption for the westernmost lot of the subject property, which may have a service building and warehouse.

Development Standards: If the PD is granted there are conditions

recommended below Vision Plan Map: Neighborhood Center Related Comp Plan Excerpts: “Neighborhood centers should individually have a

primary use, but should allow for a mix of uses allowing for increased activity, interest, and long-term viability (Page 38 of 2009 Comprehensive Plan)”.

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: The traffic generated by permitting the zone change is expected to be minimal and shouldn’t change, since the use is already in place.

Parking Requirements: Based on the Zoning Ordinance, the current

parking is sufficient, since the subject property is not undergoing a change of occupancy, 25% increase in size or 50% increase in value.

Parking Provided: N/A Related Specific Use Standards: N/A Density: N/A Notification Required?: Yes Notifications Sent: 12

Responses in Favor: 2 Responses in Opposition: 1

Analysis:

In order to approve this request, the Planning Commission members are first required to find that: 1. Compatible with Plans and Policies. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible

with the Comprehensive Plan and any other land use policies adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.

2. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would conflict with any portion of this Zoning Ordinance.

3. Compatible with Surrounding Area. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is the appropriate zoning district for the land.

4. Changed Conditions. Whether and the extent to which there are changed conditions that require an amendment.

5. Effect on Natural Environment. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to water and air quality, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the practical functioning of the natural environment.

6. Community Need. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment addresses a demonstrated community need.

7. Development Patterns. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a logical and orderly pattern of urban development in the community.

The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. Changing the zoning from CN to PD will be consistent with the zoning ordinance and will also be compatible with the City of San Angelo’s Comprehensive Plan. This Plan calls for “Neighborhood Center” for the subject property. The “Neighborhood Center” classification is meant to facilitate a mix of uses, allowing for increased activity, interest, and long-term viability. Comprehensive Plan continues, including an intent to revitalize aged commercial corridors and blend commercial areas into neighborhoods. Also the

Comprehensive Plan calls for the development of commercial nodes, a change from commercial corridor. Since, the subject property is currently zoned CN and is not connecting to a commercial corridor, the zone change will not be contributing to the creation of a major commercial belt and thus meets an objective of the Vision Plan’s Neighborhood Center. The proposed zone change will allow diversification of uses that can be compatible with existing land uses on adjacent properties by placing development standards, which the site will comply with. The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is promoting the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of San Angelo. As such, with the development standards in place, the zone change will conform to the objectives of the zoning ordinance. In addition the zone change will not adversely affect the natural environment. Also, the PD zoning will allow the city to place standards on the subject property which will increase the subject property’s compatibility with the surrounding areas.

Proposed Conditions

The staff recommendation the following conditions for the Planned Development: 1. Required Privacy Fence. A privacy fence shall be required, which screens all out-

door uses.

a. The fence shall be an opaque wood fence

b. If security features are added to the fence, they must be screened from the public right-of-way and the fence may not exceed the height of 8’, based on the approved variance granted earlier this year (re: ZBA 11-16).

2. Off-Street Parking. If the parking area is expanded beyond the center ownership

parcel, more specifically, the 1.00 acre of the Rode Survey, the expansion must be paved and meet all standards of Section 511 of the Zoning Ordinance.

3. Visual Clearance. The vision clearance triangle will be met as outlined in Section

510 of the City of San Angelo’s Zoning Ordinance.

Excerpt from August 15, 2011 Planning Commission meeting - DRAFT A. Z 11-11: Atmos Energy

a request for approval of a zone change from Neighborhood Commercial (CN) district zone to Planned Development (PD) district zone, on the following property: 1730 North Main Street, an approximately 2.6 acre tract of property formed by segments of surveys, bordered by North Emerick Street on the west, East 18th Street on the north, North Main Street on the east, and East 14th Street on the south, in north central San Angelo. Jesus Vazquez, Planner, came forward to present this request, consistent with the recommendation of approval. 12 notifications were sent out, with 2 received in favor and 0 received in opposition. The subject property is surrounded by residential areas and commercial areas. The current zoning districts that would allow such an intensive use are not appropriate for the area, due to the residential character of the established neighborhoods to the north and the south. Mr. Vazquez and Ms. Fawver explained the issue and purpose(s) behind the Planned Development district. Such a rezoning would alleviate the current issue of an unlawful expansion outside of the original special permit allowing this use at this location. In addition, it combines features which are not all currently encompassed within a single zoning district. That is, it would allow unlimited outside storage, provide opaque screening to provide mitigation for the surrounding areas, and allow the use categories of “industrial services”, “office”, and “warehouse and freight movement.” Ron Beard, a citizen, came forward to speak on this request. He spoke to the traffic control devices that are in place. Sam Tambunga also asked about the traffic control measures, and the chairman Ben Jenkins made the motion to approve, subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report, with Joe Grimes seconding the motion. The motion was passed unanimously, 7-0.

request for approval of a Zone Change from Single Family Residential (RS-1) to a Planned Development (PD).

Location: 501 Rio Concho Drive, a roughly 9.1-acre tract at the northwest corner

of Rio Concho & Surber Drives, specifically occupying Lots 17 & 18 (except the south 357’) and a segment of the north part (a portion of River Drive) of the Fort Concho River Lots Addition in central San Angelo.

Purpose: Approving this zone change will allow for a Planned Development

(PD) zoning designation for the San Angelo Convention Center.

classification from Single Family Residential (RS-1) to Planned Development (PD) District; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING A PENALTY


(1) approve the proposed zone change;

(2) modify the application to some alternative zoning classification believed to be more

appropriate; or

(3) deny the proposed zone change.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving the proposed zone change.

The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve this request on August 15, 2011. The River Corridor Commission voted 5-0 to approve this request on August 23, 2011.


It was brought to the attention of Planning staff that the Convention Center is operating in a Single-Family Residential district with a special use permit, when being approached about some signage question. At the request of the Civic Events Manager, and as part of the Planning staff’s pursuit to ensure all City-owned properties are zoned properly, the possibility of a zoning designation that would be more appropriate for the convention center’s operations was examined.

General Information

Existing Zoning: Single-Family Residential (RS-1) Existing Land Use: City of San Angelo Convention Center Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: RS-1 Park West: CG Hotel & Conference Center South: ML & RS-1 Single Family Housing & Vacant Lot East: RM-1 Senior Living

Thoroughfares/Streets: Rio Concho Drive is defined as a “parkway”.

Surber Drive is a “local street”. Zoning History: Special Permit 392 was approved for an

apartment development in April of 1971. Special

Permit 544 was approved in November of 1976 and allowed the use of a convention center.

Applicable Regulations: N/A Development Standards: N/A Vision Plan Map: Campus/Institutional Related Comp Plan Excerpts: The convention center is described in the

Comprehensive Plan as Catalyst #1. The Plan states, “…the convention center should be the focal point of a multi-purpose area of mixed-use, maximizing the amount of activity in and around it.”

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: No additional traffic is expected to be generated from this zone change.

Parking Requirements: N/A Parking Provided: N/A Related Specific Use Standards: N/A Density: N/A Notification Required: Yes Notifications Sent: 9


Analysis:

In order to approve this request, the Planning Commission members are first required to consider the following Amendment Criteria:

1. Compatible with Plans and Policies. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and any other land use policies adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.


3. Compatible with Surrounding Area. Whether and the extent to which the proposed

amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is the appropriate zoning district for the land.





The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. Changing the zoning from RS-1 to a Planned Development (PD) will be consistent with the zoning ordinance and compatible with the 2009 Comprehensive Plan for San Angelo. The Comprehensive Plan Map calls for a “Civic/Institutional” use for this parcel and a PD will allow for exactly that. The parcels near and surrounding the convention center will not be affected by the zone change and development patterns in the area will not be affected by a zoning change. The PD will generally conform to that of a General Commercial (CG) district in terms of setbacks, floor area ratio, and lot size. The uses allowed at the convention center typically follow what would be classified in Section 310 of the Zoning Ordinance as: special event type one and two, major entertainment events, offices, and community services. Additional conditions for the Planned Development on the convention center site can be found in the next section of this report. As the property owner of the convention center site, the City should be proactive in following the Comprehensive Plan and setting a good precedent in following what the future calls for. An RS-1 zoning designation is not the most appropriate for a parcel that draws large numbers of people for events and civic functions; staff believes a Planned Development zoning would be the most beneficial for the convention center and the community.

Proposed Conditions

1. No signage allowed on the southernmost and westernmost boundaries of the property, which are adjacent to developed residential areas;

2. If parking areas are increased, drought-resistant landscaping or xeriscaping shall be provided. Landscaping will be subject to administrative approval by the Planning Manager, with appeals directed to the Planning Commission;

3. A maximum of 1000 square feet of the site will be permitted for outdoor storage;

4. New signage shall not exceed fifteen feet in length, five feet in height, and a depth of two feet;

5. Allowed events include: conferences and conventions, meetings, banquets, performances (music, dance, comedy, speaking engagements), trade shows, private events (weddings, parties, family gatherings, dinners), job training, and educational seminars;

6. Must follow Section 12.612 of the Sign Ordinance regarding illumination; and

7. City Council shall authorize, with this approval, the removal of any special permit(s) on the site from the official zoning map.

a request for approval of a zone change from Single Family Residential (RS-1) to Planned Development (PD) on the following property:

501 Rio Concho Drive, a roughly 9.1-acre tract at the northwest corner of Rio Concho & Surber Drives, specifically occupying Lots 17 & 18 (except the south 357’) and a segment of the north part (a portion of River Drive) of the Fort Concho River Lots Addition in central San Angelo.

Jeff Hintz, Planner, came forward to present this request, consistent with the recommendation of approval. This request is originated by the city for the current McNease Convention Center. Nine notifications were sent out, with zero returned in favor or in opposition to the request. This was an item that was brought to staff when it was discovered that the current site is actually zoned for residential use, which is inconsistent with the current (and expected long-term) use of the location. Mr. Hintz reviewed the conditions staff recommends for approval. He also reviewed the Comprehensive Plan excerpts that are relevant to the location and this request. Sam Tambunga asked if the reason for the change was entirely based upon the signage or if there were other reasons. Mr. Hintz explained that the signage was something had really brought this issue to light. Anthony Wilson, Civic Events manager, came forward to speak in favor of this request. He explained that he had been working with the Planning Division staff to put together a request that would better fit in with the area and would be better for the uses, as they are projected to be in place long-term. The City’s investment in this facility is considerable. Ben Jenkins made the motion to approve, which Sam Tambunga seconded, subject to all conditions as outlined in the staff report. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0.

(1) approve the proposed zone change;

(2) modify the application to some alternative zoning classification believed to be more

appropriate; or

(3) deny the proposed zone change.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving the proposed zone change.

The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve this request on August 15, 2011


The proposed CBD expansion area encompasses zoning categories of CG/CH, CG, and RM-1. CG/CH is the dominant zoning category being replaced in this grouping of properties for CBD expansion. The proposed CBD expansion is bounded to the south by the CBD zoning district. To the east of this expansion area are the zoning categories of CG and RM-1. North of the expansion area is zoned ML and to the west the zoning categories of CN and RM-1 are present. Downtown San Angelo was also notified via email of this zone change preceding; a map and description of the areas affected was also included in this email. On February 28, of 2011 a special meeting was conducted with the Planning Commission to discuss expansion of the CBD. On April 18th at the Planning Commission meeting, it was determined that the CBD would be expanded to the east and south as Planning staff had recommended. This request was presented and approved on May 16 of 2011by a unanimous vote of the Plan Commission. At the May 16th meeting, staff was directed to look into additional expansion of the CBD to the north; specifically, the areas included in this zoning case.

General Information

Zoning History: The proposed expansion includes two approved

zoning cases; SP 365 allowing for a light machine shop. SP 95-22 allows offices for a social service agency.

Applicable Regulations: Alcohol sales will be allowed by right in the CBD; Off-street parking requirements are also waived. In addition, no setbacks are required in the CBD zoning designation.

Development Standards: N/A Vision Plan Map: Downtown Related Comp Plan Excerpts:The downtown portion of the Comprehensive Plan

calls for development of an entertainment district and civic activity district in conjunction with, catalyst projects that would all be possible with the CBD zoning designation.

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: This proposed zone change is not expected to change traffic patterns

Parking Requirements: N/A Parking Provided: N/A Related Specific Use Standards: N/A Density: The CBD is one of the more densely developed

areas within San Angelo Notification Required?: Yes Notifications Sent: 51


Analysis:

In order to approve this request, the Planning Commission members are first required to consider the following Amendment Criteria: 1. Compatible with Plans and Policies. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible

with the Comprehensive Plan and any other land use policies adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.







The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. Staff believes that a zoning change to CBD will be consistent with the 2009 Comprehensive Plan which calls for the properties previously mentioned to be classified as “Downtown.” CBD fits this vision and is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance for the city. This designation of CBD is compatible with the development patterns of the city and will fit within the context of the surrounding area. Staff believes that the CBD zone will generally conform to existing businesses and land uses in the area. The CBD is an appropriate designation for the types of activities and events that occur in the area. In the event that a business in existence is not allowed by right in the CBD, that business would be allowed to continue; the business would be legally non-conforming. Trying to describe every business in this proposed zone change area would not do justice to the area or local businesses; it is however, believed by staff that the businesses currently in operation would be allowed by the CBD zoning category anyhow. This zone change should not have a detrimental effect on the natural environment and is not expected to alter the character of the community. Staff also believes this zone change will be beneficial to the community. Changing the zoning designation will allow for the growth of the CBD into a vibrant growing, commercial area. Currently this area of San Angelo is under-utilized as a commercial area; staff believes a zone change would revitalize this area and allow for greater development of the central commercial area of the city.

Jeff Hintz, Planner, came forward to present this request, consistent with the staff recommendation of approval. There were fifty-six (56) notifications sent out, with one received in favor and zero received in opposition. This is the third of three phases of a CBD expansion that the Planning Commission instructed staff to carry out earlier this year. One of the predominant features in this area is vacant properties. Mr. Hintz described the zoning around the area in question. Mr. Hintz described the multiple zoning designations and uses within the subject area. The Comprehensive Plan for the city calls for “downtown” for this area. The uses in place will be allowed to continue, even if they are not allowed by right in the CBD; so long as they do not fall vacant for a period of one year, they are considered legally non-conforming. Mr. Hintz also reviewed the unique characteristics of the CBD zoning category and reminded the Commission that a public school is within 300’ of a good portion of this expansion, and that City ordinance does not allow alcoholic beverage sales this close. Sam Tambunga asked about the parking – Mr. Hintz answered that businesses could provide parking if they wanted to, but was not required to. No one came forward to speak in favor or opposition. Joe Grimes made the motion to approve as presented, which Bill Wynne seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0.

(1) recommend approving the proposed zone change;

(2) modify the application to some alternative zoning classification believed to be more appropriate; or

(3) recommend denying the proposed zone change.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving the proposed zone change. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve this request on August 15, 2011.


General Information

Existing Zoning: Two-Family Residential (RS-2) Existing Land Use: Office building, the building is currently

vacant Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: RS-2 Residences West: CO Office Use South: RS-2 Commercial Use East: RS-2 Residences

Thoroughfares/Streets: Ward Street is defined as a “local street” Zoning History: The subject property holds a Special

Permit, SP 336, which allows the existing building on the subject property to be used as an office building.

Applicable Regulations: All RS-2 regulations, including those for setbacks, minimum lot size, floor area ratio, and use regulations.

Development Standards: N/A Vision Plan Map: Neighborhood Center Related Comp Plan Excerpts: N/A

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: No change in traffic is expected, as location is already functional as an office.

Parking Requirements: The ratio for office use is 1:300 sq ft of

gross floor area. However, the current parking is sufficient, since the subject property is not undergoing a change of occupancy, 25% increase in size or 50% increase in value.

Parking Provided: Four parking spaces are provided on-site. Related Specific Use Standards: N/A Density: N/A Notification Required?: Yes Notifications Sent: 18


Analysis: In order to approve this request, the Planning Commission members are first required to find that:

1. Compatible with Plans and Policies. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and any other land use policies adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.

2. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance. Whether and the extent to which

the proposed amendment would conflict with any portion of this Zoning Ordinance.






The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. Changing the zoning from RS-2 to CO will be consistent with the zoning ordinance and will also be compatible with the City of San Angelo’s Comprehensive Plan. The map within this Plan calls for “Neighborhood Center” for the subject property. The Office Commercial zoning will be consistent in that the intent of the Comprehensive Plan’s “Neighborhood Center” is to facilitate a mix of uses, allowing for increased activity, interest, and long-term viability. Since, the subject property is located primarily within an area dominated by RS-2, the site will not contribute to creating a major commercial belt and thus meets the primary intent to create nodes or centers of commercial activities. The CO zoning classification is one of the least intensive of the commercial district classifications and therefore would not be extremely intrusive to the surrounding residential areas. The intensity and use of a CO zone would have little, if any, adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhoods, especially since this location is one of the few sites fronting Ward Street, and it does not share the front of the block with any residential use. Also, CO zoning uses do not generate major traffic and only allow outdoor display for outside use. A higher commercial zoning classification would be detrimental to this established neighborhood.

Proposed Conditions

Authorization for staff to remove the unneeded Special Permit from the official Zoning Map.

Excerpt from August 15, 2011 Planning Commission Meeting - DRAFT E. Z 11-16: First National Bank

a request for approval of a zone change from Two-Family Residence (RS-2) zoning to Office Commercial (CO) zoning, on the following property:

1814 Ward Street, about 122’ southeast from the intersection of Ward Street and Pecos Street. An approximately 0.0845 acre tract, specifically Lot 14 and a 36’ section out of the abutting Lots of 15 and 13, Dawson-Eddiemann subdivision, in central San Angelo.

Jesus Vazquez, Planner, came forward to present this request, consistent with the staff recommendation of approval, subject to conditions outlined in the staff report. Eighteen notifications were sent out, with no notifications returned in favor or in opposition. The Comprehensive Plan for the city calls for this area to be a “neighborhood center”. The subject property holds a special permit, which allows an office use to be put in place. Mr. Vazquez explained that the CO zoning is intended to blend well with the surrounding residential neighborhood. JoAnn Jones, vice-president of the First National Bank of Sonora, came forward to speak in favor of the request. The bank is currently trying to market the property and just realized that the area is zoned residential.

Consideration and approval of recommended changes to the Community & Housing Support Guidelines for the CDBG & HOME Housing Programs

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary: Staff recommends changing the current housing guidelines to clarify the recapture provisions in case of foreclosure or default on home mortgages and to clarify contractor eligibility to participate in the program. History: HUD has identified recapture language that must be present in our guidelines in order to ensure that the city is protected in cases of foreclosure or default on mortgages. The following language has been added to the guidelines:

In the event of a sale, short sale and/or foreclosure, the amount recaptured will be limited to the amount of ‘net proceeds’ available at the time of such occurrence.

Additionally, staff is recommending that the guidelines specifically states that main contractors wanting to participate in the housing programs must be vetted on their own construction experience even if they partner with an experienced contractor. This provision ensures that the main contractor has the experience required to participate in the program effectively. Financial Impact: Changes will protect the city financially in case of foreclosure or mortgage default. Related Vision Item: Neighborhood Revitalization. Other Information/Recommendations: Staff requests approval to the changes to the Housing Guidelines.

INTRODUCTION COMMUNITY AND HOUSING SUPPORT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME

INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (HOME)

CDBG - PURPOSE AND PRIMARY OBJECTIVES The primary objective of the Community and Housing Support (CHS) program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income.1

Consistent with this primary objective, at least 70 percent of the aggregate of the Federal assistance provided to States and units of general local government shall be used for the support of activities that benefit persons of low and moderate income and are directed toward the following specific objectives:

1. the elimination of slums and blight, the prevention of blighting influences and the deterioration of property, neighborhood, and community facilities of importance to the welfare of the community;

2. the elimination of conditions which are detrimental to the health, safety, and public welfare through code enforcement, demolition, interim rehabilitation assistance, and related activities;

3. the conservation and expansion of the nation's housing stock in order to provide a decent home and a suitable living environment for all persons, but principally those of low and moderate income;

4. the expansion and improvement of the quantity and quality of community services, which are essential for sound Community and Housing Support and for the development of viable urban communities;

5. a more rational utilization of land and other natural resources and the better arrangement of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other needed activity centers;

6. the reduction of the isolation of income groups within communities and geographical areas, the promotion of an increase in the diversity and vitality of neighborhoods through the spatial de-concentration of housing opportunities for persons of lower income, and the revitalization of deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods;

7. the restoration and preservation of properties of special value for historic, architectural, or aesthetic reasons;

8. the alleviation of physical and economic distress through the stimulation of private investment and community revitalization in areas with population out-migration or a stagnating or declining tax base; and

9. the conservation of the nation’s scarce energy resources, improvement of energy efficiency, and the provision of alternative and renewable energy sources of supply.

HOME - PURPOSE AND PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

In general, under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), HUD allocates funds by formula among eligible State and local governments to strengthen public-private partnerships and to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for low/moderate income families.2

Generally, HOME funds must be matched by nonfederal resources. State and local governments that become participating jurisdictions may use HOME funds to carry out multi-year housing strategies through acquisition, rehabilitation, and the new construction of housing, and tenant based rental assistance. Participating jurisdictions may provide assistance in a number of eligible forms, including grants, loans, advances, equity investments, interest subsidies and other forms of investment that HUD approves. CITY OF SAN ANGELO - OBJECTIVES The CHS Rehab Program consists of emergency repairs and housing rehabilitation. The Emergency Repair 100% Grant Program provides grants up to $5,000. Emergency repairs are provided to alleviate conditions which pose threats to the life, health or safety of the applicant and the neighborhood, such as a gas or sewage problems. The Community and Housing Support Rehabilitation Program (CHS Rehab Program) is a Loan/Deferred Loan program undertaken through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and is designed to improve neighborhoods by rehabilitating homes and to prevent the reduction of existing suitable low/moderate income houses. Further, the program seeks to make substandard homes decent, safe, and sanitary as required by HUD Housing Quality Standards. Rehabilitation projects are undertaken to address conditions such as roof, water, gas, sewer, and electrical problems that have occurred over time, deterioration caused by aging, weather conditions, or water leaks, and pose a future threat to the life, health and/or safety of the occupants. The maximum amount that can be expended on rehabilitation is $24,999.00. If the total rehab costs exceed the maximum, CDBG funded projects can be scoped down as necessary to bring the cost under the cap. As part of the Rehab Program, the city council authorized an annual Neighborhood Blitz where city employees and citizen volunteers perform clean-up, painting, and minor repairs in selected neighborhoods. CDBG and local funds are used as leverage to support the effort for both homeowners and renters. The Demolition Program, funded through CDBG, is designed to assist in the removal of structures that are substandard and not suitable for rehabilitation, thus helping eliminate slum and blighting influences while improving the appearance and safety of the neighborhoods. The Demolition program provides 100% grants to all citizens below the moderate income limit. Citizens who are over the moderate income level will be offered a two-year 2% interest loan covering the total cost for demolition.

The Neighborhood Revitalization/Enhancement Program, funded through CDBG and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) is a Loan/Deferred Loan program designed to preserve and increase the number of suitable residences available to low/moderate income families in target areas selected by the City Council through reconstruction of owner-occupied units, new construction, and homebuyer assistance, leading to overall neighborhood enhancement. Programs include homeownership and well as rental properties. The Homebuyer’s Assistance Program (HAP), funded through HOME is designed to assist low and moderate income families in becoming homeowners by providing a No-interest Deferred Payment Loan used for down payment and closing costs not to exceed $12,000.00 for homes located in one of four neighborhoods targeted for revitalization based on 15% of the appraised value of the property and $9,000.00 for homes located outside of the target areas based on 10% of the appraised value of the property. HOME funds provided for HAP assistance toward purchasing a home carry the restriction that the homebuyer must live in the home a minimum of five years. The implementation and operation of the Rehabilitation, Emergency Repair, Demolition, Neighborhood Revitalization/Enhancement, and Homebuyer’s Assistance Programs will conform to the policies and guidelines established by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of San Angelo’s City Council.

INQUIRY LIST All inquiries into assistance will be placed on an Inquiry List and will be considered on a first-come, first-served, funding availability basis. When an individual comes up on the list, they will be notified when his or her name is near the top of the inquiry list so that the application process may begin.

Critical Need. On August 21, 2007 City Council approved earmarking $100K per year to address situations presenting a critical need where a case moves to the top of the inquiry list based on critical need vs first-come, first-served basis. Cases require City Council approval and must be of such extraordinary circumstances that they warrant special attention. For example: a situation where the house has been condemned by City’s Fire Marshall and the client has become homeless due to the condition of the home.

CHAPTER 1 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR EMERGENCY REPAIRS

AND HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAMS 1. GENERAL

In general, the eligibility guidelines apply for both the CHS Housing Rehab Program and the HOME Revitalization Program except where differences are specifically noted.

Emergency Repairs: Whenever possible, emergency repairs are undertaken under the CHS Emergency Repair 100% Grant Program, not to exceed $5,000 to address conditions such as water, gas, sewer, and electrical problems. These conditions occurred without warning and within two (2) weeks of first contact with CHS about the condition, and are detrimental to the life, health and/or safety of the occupants. Emergency repairs require immediate action which is defined as 24-72 hours. Pre-qualified contractors will be used on a rotating basis to complete the emergency repair(s). Trades will be required to be licensed by the state for their respective trade. Generals may be used in circumstances that require several trades to complete the project. Generals must have the required city insurance to include commercial general liability and worker compensation as outlined by the city’s Risk Management Division. If the cost of repairs exceeds $5,000, CHS staff will seek a second estimate from the next contractor on the rotation list. If both estimates are over $5000, the client will be placed on the Inquiry List. Staff may also attempt to reduce the scope of work by reducing the cosmetic repairs. To qualify for an emergency repair grant, the property must be in need of immediate correction of a code violation(s), which constitutes: (a) a serious and urgent, life threatening hazard that comes about suddenly and unexpectedly; and/or (b) an emerging health and safety hazard (i.e., a code violation that, if not repaired, will cause serious structural damage to the property). Eligible repairs include but are not limited to a substandard condition(s) of one or more of the following: Plumbing systems • Lack of hot and cold running water • Defective sewage system • Leaking waterlines and gas lines or dangerous conditions in plumbing and gas systems • Leaking or inoperable water heaters Electrical systems • Lack of electricity due to electrical hazards • Exposed or dangerous electrical wiring Air conditioning/heating units • Must be elderly (age 62 or older) or disabled and lack of air conditioning/heating must present a health hazard as identified by a physician • New central air/heat systems will not be installed, but repairs to an existing unit is authorized • If new heat/air are required wall units will be installed (air conditioning units will not be

installed in windows)

10

Roofing • Leaking systems due to recent events such as tree damage, high winds, etc • Long term deterioration is not eligible for emergency repairs • Will only perform patch work to arrest the condition

Carpentry • Structural deficiencies posing an immediate safety issue • Will only perform necessary work to arrest the condition Other activities necessary to ensure the health and safety of the occupants. Items which are typically considered general maintenance (e.g. simple clogged drain) or weatherization improvements are not eligible under this program. The emergency repair work may only stabilize the property until a more substantial rehabilitation can be performed. Owner-occupied dwellings requiring substantial rehabilitation will be encouraged to apply for assistance under the city’s CHS Rehab Program. Eligibility Period between emergency repairs for a single household will be 24 months unless otherwise determined by the CHS Director for extraordinary cases. Note: All emergency repairs are exempt from HUD’s lead-based paint requirements, but must be documented in the file as to the exemption. Housing Rehabilitations are undertaken to address conditions such as roof, water, gas, sewer, and electrical problems that have occurred over time, deterioration caused by aging, weather conditions, or water leaks. The maximum expenditure for rehabs is $24,999.00 which does not include the cost for lead-base paint (LBP) abatement. All LBP related costs will be over and above the cost of the rehab and will not be included in the loan-to-deferred loan ratio. Assistance under the Rehab program will consist of a 2% loan and no-interest deferred loan based on a sliding scale determined by family/household income and can only be given to low to moderate income families residing within the city limits of San Angelo. Eligibility Period between Rehabs for a single household will be 10 years unless otherwise determined by the CHS Director for extraordinary cases. Neighborhood Blitzes are conducted annually as approved by city council. Certain neighborhoods are selected based on need and located in one of four areas targeted for revitalization. Housing units are selected based on need and household must be income eligible. Homeowners will be required to prove ownership. Rentals will be eligible if the renters’ household income meets income limits and the owner/landlord agrees to rent to low to moderate income tenants for five (5) years. Landlords will need to approve repairs and must prove ownership. Work on housing units eligible for the Blitz will be for exterior repairs only (siding, windows, paint, etc). CDBG funds will be used as a grant and will be used as leverage funding along with local funds and donations from partnerships.

11

2. LEGAL AUTHORITY

The legal authority for rehab loans is found in HUD statutes and regulations. Rehab loans to rehabilitate residential structures are authorized under Section 115 of Title I of the Housing and Community and Housing Support Act of 1974 as amended (the Act) and Section 312 of the Act.

3. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Eligible applicants for Emergency and Rehabilitation programs (including the Blitz program) must meet the City of San Angelo’s eligibility requirements generally described as follows:

• Owner-occupant of residential property or low to moderate income renters in

case of the Blitz program • For emergency repairs, must have lived in the home within 2 weeks from onset

of emergency condition • Reside within the city limits of San Angelo, Texas • Meet the Department of Housing & Urban Development’s definition of moderate

income households based on verified gross household income and household size.

• Dwelling must be a single family structure • Dwelling must be household’s principal residence • Must not have been convicted of a felony within five (5) years of application for

assistance a. Owner-Occupant Status. To be eligible for emergency repairs or rehabs an applicant must be an owner-occupant of residential property located within the city limits and have fee simple title to the property. Types of acceptable deeds include:

• General Warranty Deed • Assumption Deed • Foreclosure Deed • Trustees Deed • Deed Incident to Divorce (note: a Divorce Decree is not sufficient)

A Deed to the property must be on file in the Tom Green County Clerk Real Property Records. A Deed for Life Estate may be used in lieu of the Warranty Deed if the grantee on the Warranty Deed agrees to sign a RELEASE IN FULL OF ALL CLAIMS and also co-signs all of the grant/loan documents.

A Contract for Deed will be acceptable only for Emergency Repairs. The grantee on the Warranty Deed must agree to sign a RELEASE IN FULL OF ALL CLAIMS and also co-sign all of the grant documents. In such instances the applicant (and in the case of a Contract for Deed, the grantee on the Warranty Deed) must cooperate with staff to locate and submit all information that might be needed to establish ownership or occupancy of the residence. An applicant with a Contract for Deed will not be eligible for rehab. If any deviation from the guidelines is requested or needed, the Department Director must approve any added expenditure up to $15,000, the City Manager must approve any expenditure over $15,000.

12

In the event an applicant vacated his or her home within 18 months prior to the date of initial application due to the house not being suitable for occupancy because of condition(s) detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the owner-occupant, the house will be eligible for emergency and rehab so long as the applicant provides adequate evidence of occupancy within the past 18 months and that the move from the house was caused by the detrimental condition(s).

For both the CDBG and HOME Programs, the income guidelines set forth in this Chapter must be met. In the event that more than one person is an owner-occupant (for example, spouses, siblings, etc.), each person’s income will be considered and the total adjusted household income would be used to determine if the household meets the income requirements.

b. Annual Income. As required by HUD regulations, an applicant must not exceed the income limits according to family size as set by HUD. These figures are updated periodically by HUD and the new income limits automatically replace the previous limits when the revisions are received. These figures will be shared with the applicant upon his or her initial visit. SEE APPENDIX J for details.

c. Capacity To Repay. Applicants must be able and willing to make monthly loan payments in at least the minimum amount of $25. For loans of $1,000 or more, the applicant must agree to receive counseling through an accredited non-profit credit counseling agency in San Angelo and obtain a favorable report as to their ability to make the proposed monthly payments. This requirement may be waived by the Community and Housing Support Director if the applicant is agreeable to the proposed monthly payments and the Housing Program Administrator has determined that the applicant would be able to make the proposed monthly payment. d. Taxes. Any property that will undergo emergency repairs or rehab under either program must have all property taxes current unless the applicant has an over-65 Homestead Tax Deferral Affidavit on record. Additionally, an exception may be made for emergency or rehab if there are back taxes owed on the property providing the applicant is making regular monthly payments as agreed upon with the tax appraisal district. e. Existing City Loans. An applicant with a current rehab loan is eligible for emergency grant assistance provided that the loan is in good standing. This may apply to an applicant who has received a rehab within the past 10 years and now needs emergency repairs.

f. Location. Assistance can only be provided for properties located within the city limits of San Angelo.

g. One Hundred Year Flood Plain. Homes located in the one hundred year flood plain are not eligible for rehab nor emergency repair unless flood insurance is obtained and carried through the life of the structure. Properties located within the 500 Year Flood Plain are eligible for assistance.

h. Required Inspections. The property must pass the HUD-required environmental Site Specific Review Checklist inspection and, if necessary, receive clearance from the Texas Historical Commission following submission of a request for historical evaluation by Community and Housing Support. If the house was constructed prior to 1978, or if otherwise necessary, the house

13

will be tested for lead-based paint in accordance with HUD regulations as explained in Chapter 4, “Lead-Based Paint Hazards” of these Guidelines. i. Condition of the Home. Substandard Condition but Suitable for Rehabilitation are dwelling units that do not meet standard conditions but are both financially and structurally feasible for rehabilitation. This does not include units that require only cosmetic work, correction of minor livability problems, or maintenance work. For the CHS Rehab program, the rehabilitated house must be free of any structural defects which will lead to the premature failure of the work put into it (i.e., bad foundation, weak structural framing problems, etc.). j. Rehab-10 Year Limitation. Houses that have received rehab assistance in the past ten (10) years are not eligible for additional rehab. Once the ten year period has expired, the house will again be eligible. Items of an emergency nature, such as water, gas, sewer, and electrical problems are eligible without regard to the ten year period.

k. Manufactured and Mobile Homes. Under the CHS Rehab Program, manufactured homes are eligible projects for rehab if the manufactured or mobile home has been placed on a permanent concrete or pier and beam foundation, permitted, inspected, and passed by the building permit office.3

Manufactured and mobile homes are eligible for emergency repairs even if not placed on a permanent foundation. For both programs, the land must be owned by the occupant.

l. Property Condition/Code Enforcement Standards. Applicant’s property must be clear and free of junk vehicles, debris, and tall weeds prior to commencement of rehab work. The property must also be in compliance with all other city, state, and federal requirements. For emergency repairs, the applicant will be notified of property conditions that maybe a violation of City Code. The Housing Programs Administrator will work with the applicant and, if necessary, Code Enforcement to develop a plan to ensure compliance with this provision is met. m. Debts owed to the City. Applicants who owe money to the City of San Angelo will not be eligible for assistance under any program (includes overdue water bills, code violation fines, loans, etc.). n. Existing Liens/Mortgages. In the case of rehabilitation, an existing lien or mortgage is acceptable if the following criteria are met:

• Applicant must have lived in the house for at least five (5) years • Must be in good standing with the mortgage company (mortgage payments up to date) • Must receive a favorable Consumer Credit Counseling Report • Contract for Deed will not be eligible

Existing liens/mortgages will not prohibit assistance under the Emergency Repair program. o. Code Compliance. No work will begin for any of the housing programs to include CDBG and HOME funded projects if there is an active case with the Code Compliance Division. Code violation must be cleared before work begins. Violators will be provided no more than a month to comply after which, the project will be closed and the client will be placed at the end of the waiting list.

4. MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF EXPENDITURES

a. Emergency Repairs. The maximum amount of expenditures for emergency repairs is $5,000. In the event that the cost for emergency repairs exceeds $5,000, the staff will obtain a second estimate. If both estimates exceed $5000, the applicant will be placed on the Inquiry List for assistance at a later date. b. Rehabilitation. The maximum amount of expenditures for rehabilitation will exceed $24,999 which includes any amount provided for emergency repairs. The after-rehab value must not exceed 95% of the median purchase price for the area as published by FHA for its 203(b) program. c. Neighborhood Blitz. Expenditures for the Blitz will be kept to a minimum and will focus on exterior siding and paint. The maximum will be $5,000 per unit. Units that exceed the $5,000 limit will be reviewed by the Director, NFS and approve the overage on a case by case basis.

5. LIMITATIONS ON COSTS

For the CHS Rehab Program, costs necessary to meet applicable Housing Quality Standards, City Building Codes, and the correction of incipient violations will be included in the rehab. An incipient violation exists if, at the time of inspection, it is thought that the physical condition of an element in the structure will deteriorate into an actual violation in one to two years. An example of an incipient violation would be a 20-year old non-leaking roof that will likely fail in one to two years as the shingles are starting to curl.

The costs of reduction of lead-based paint hazards through interim controls or abatement, when

required, will not be included as part of the rehabilitation project. Costs will be identified and recorded separately from the project costs.

Rehab expenditures will not be provided for materials, fixtures, equipment, or landscaping of a type or quality which, in the opinion of the Housing Program Administrator, exceeds that customarily used in the locality for properties of the same general type as the property to be rehabilitated.

Construction of additions to the main house, and the finishing of unfinished spaces such as an attic, basement, porch, or carport will not be included under the CHS Rehab program.

Work on existing structures not connected to the house such as detached secondary residences, garages, carports, or storage buildings normally will not be included in the CHS Rehab Program. An exception might be the need for repairing or replacing wiring going from the main house to a detached structure(s) in order for the electrical work to pass the City’s electrical inspection. Major foundation work normally will not be included in the CHS Rehab unless it is financially more feasible to repair the foundation than to demolish and rebuild a new home. Minor foundation work may also be completed in conjunction with replacing plumbing or kitchen base

15

cabinets. Work on existing driveways will not be included in the rehab program unless required to preserve and protect the house from serious drainage problems. Emergency repairs do not include routine maintenance activities such as the occasional unstopping/cleaning of sewer lines (toilets or drains), the pumping of septic tanks, replacing faucet washers, repairing broken doors or locks, replacing broken windows or broken/missing screens, repairing lighting pilots, cleaning of furnaces, repairing or replacing of non-working light fixtures or electrical wall receptacles, or repairing holes knocked in walls or ceilings. Such activities may be considered, as necessary, when undertaken in conjunction with rehab work.

Costs for land acquisition are only allowable under the new construction component of the Revitalization Program.

6. VOLUNTARY TEMPORARY RELOCATION ASSISTANCE

Voluntary temporary relocation assistance will be provided to assist eligible program participants who must temporarily relocate to facilitate the rehabilitation activities on their home. HUD Guidelines and the Voluntary Temporary Relocation Assistance Policy adopted by the City of San Angelo, Appendix F, will be followed when providing voluntary temporary relocation assistance.

Relocation will only be considered under extreme circumstances when it is determined that it would be an undue hardship on occupants of the home for them to remain at the dwelling during the rehab, if their presence at the home would impede the work process, or if required due to lead-based paint abatement activities.

7. APPLICATION SELECTION AND APPEAL PROCESS

Under normal circumstances, if available funding exists, the eligibility criteria and limitations set forth above will determine if an applicant will receive emergency repair or rehab assistance.

A review of the application will be performed by Community and Housing Support staff. Only those eligible applications that meet the minimum criteria as set forth in these Guidelines will be considered for final approval. Each project site will be reviewed by the Housing Program Administrator. Determinations will be based on the present condition of the house and the condition of the house after any repairs or rehab is performed. In general, the house should be free from any structural defects that will lead to premature failure of the repair or rehab. Additional consideration will be given to health and safety risks to CHS staff, contractors, subcontractors and occupants.

Chapter 7, “Application Process and Work Procedures,” provides detailed step by step procedures for submitting and processing applications for rehab work. Also, specific steps to be followed when undertaking emergency repairs and rehab work are given.

Generally, applications for rehab assistance will be approved by the Community and Housing Support Director provided that all activity related to an application for assistance falls within the limitations and restrictions of these Guidelines. Once approved, the applicant must cooperate with Community and Housing Support staff and follow all applicable requirements of Chapter 8

16

of these Guidelines including signing all specified grant and loan documents before emergency repairs (if applicable) or rehab work can begin.

Applicants not approved under the CHS Rehab will be referred to other services in the City that may be able to help them. If an application for rehab assistance is denied because the house is substandard and not suitable for rehab, the applicant will be informed of the CHS Demolition Program and new/reconstruction under the Revitalization Program if the house is in a City Council designated target area.

Also, if an application is denied, the applicant will be informed of his or her right to present an appeal and the time frame to do so.

Appeal. An appeal must be made in writing and submitted to the Community and Housing Support Department within 30 calendar days of the date the applicant is informed of the denial. The appeal will be presented first to the Service Area Director and may then be forwarded to the City Manager whose decision is final.

8. AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS

The affordability period for Rehab assistance will be five (5) years which requires the household to continue to occupy the home as their primary residence for five years after completion of the rehab assistance.

9. RECAPTURE PROVISIONS In the event of a sale, short sale and/or foreclosure, the amount recaptured will be limited to the amount of ‘net proceeds’ available at the time of such occurrence.

10. CONTRACTOR PROVISIONS

In addition to the City of San Angelo’s Purchasing policies and procedures, the following provisions apply to contractors participating in the City’s New/Reconstruction Program.

• Contractor must be currently registered with the City of San Angelo Permits office

• Contractors cannot owe money to the City of San Angelo (including but not limited to overdue water bills, code violation fines, outstanding fees, etc.)

• Contractor shall be responsible for all damages to persons or property that occur as a

result of his fault or negligence in connection with the prosecution of the work and shall be responsible for the proper care and protection of all work performed until completion and final acceptance, whether or not payments may have been made by the City of San Angelo for all or part of the work to be done hereunder.

• Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the City of San Angelo and Owner from

any and all liability for injury or death to persons or damages to property resulting from Contractor's work.

CHAPTER 2

REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW/RECONSTRUCTION

(HOMEOWNERSHIP AND RENTAL)

20

CHAPTER 2 ELIGIBILITY AND HOUSING REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW/RECONSTRUCTION

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Revitalization Program New/Reconstruction component is to provide assistance to low/moderate income families residing within the city limits of San Angelo for building a new home when it is determined that the homeowner’s existing house is substandard and not suitable for rehabilitation, or when an income eligible family is willing to relocate into a target area. New or reconstruction would occur when the cost to rehabilitate an existing house exceeds the maximum expenditure cap, or in the case of a household moving into a City Council designated target area through the Neighborhood Revitalization Program. In case of reconstruction, the existing house must be demolished. Consistent with the program objectives which aim to prevent the reduction of existing suitable low to moderate income houses and to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for low to moderate income families, the housing reconstruction component is voluntary. New homes will be limited to three (3) bedrooms.

2. DEFINITIONS

New Construction: New construction is defined as the building of a new home in a target area. New Construction will only occur when it is not feasible to build on the existing lot as determined by the Community and Housing Support staff (i.e. the lot is too small for required additions to the house), or in the case of a household moving into a target area through the homebuyer’s assistance component of the Revitalization Program. Reconstruction: Reconstruction is defined as the rebuilding of a new home or in limited cases, the majority of a new home, on the same lot of an existing home. The number of housing units on the lot may not be increased as part of a reconstruction project, but the number of rooms per unit may be increased or decreased subject to maximum funding limitations, the City of San Angelo’s Code of Ordinances, and family size. Reconstruction also includes replacing an existing substandard manufactured or mobile home with a conventionally constructed single family housing unit. For both new construction and reconstruction, the Model Energy Code will be followed to ensure that the new unit is energy efficient. All such houses will be free of all architectural barriers for physically handicapped residents.

Substandard Condition and not Suitable for Rehabilitation: Dwelling units that are in such poor condition as to be neither structurally nor financially feasible for rehabilitation.

Substandard Condition but Suitable for Rehabilitation: Dwelling units that do not meet standard conditions but are both financially and structurally feasible for rehabilitation. This does not include units that require only cosmetic work, correction of minor livability problems, or maintenance work.

21

Standard Condition: Dwelling units that meet the minimum requirements as prescribed by the various codes adopted by the City of San Angelo and are in good condition requiring only cosmetic work, correction of minor livability problems, or maintenance work.

3. FUNDING

The funding for new construction will be through the Revitalization Program and special federal grants. Funding for reconstruction will be through the CHS Demolition Program and the Revitalization Program, CDBG, and special federal grants.

The maximum amount that will be spent towards a new construction or reconstruction project will be based on the HUD Per Unit Subsidy limit. Demolition and temporary relocation expenses are excluded from this limitation, but are included in the total project cost. Total amount of change orders are not to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the bid amount. Change orders exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the bid amount must be approved by the City Manager or designee. The City will not reimburse homeowners or pay contractors for expenditures not approved.

4. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

a. General. To be eligible for new construction, an applicant must apply for housing assistance through the homebuyer’s assistance component of the Revitalization Program. To be eligible for reconstruction, a homeowner must first apply for housing rehabilitation through the CHS Rehab Program. Applicants will be selected from existing rehab applications that have been denied because the existing home is substandard and not suitable for rehabilitation. All eligibility requirements set forth in Chapter 1 for an applicant to the rehabilitation component of the CHS Rehab Program apply, except where noted below, including: owner-occupant status; annual income; taxes; location; value of the home; existing loans; and property condition. In addition, a reconstruction applicant must agree to temporarily relocate during demolition and reconstruction and, if a participant in the Revitalization Program, agree to the requisite period of affordability upon occupying the house.

• Owner-occupant of residential property in the case of reconstruction • Reside within the city limits of San Angelo, Texas • Meet the Department of Housing & Urban Development’s definition of moderate

income households based on verified gross household income and household size.

• Dwelling must be a single family structure • Dwelling must be household’s principal residence • Must not have been convicted of a felony within five years of application for

assistance b. Title Check. Because of the cost and nature of reconstruction, a title check for outstanding liens must be performed before approval can be given for reconstruction. Title problems will remain with the owner as no acquisition is involved. Owners with complicated title problems and judgments will not be accepted.

22

c. Existing Liens. In the case for reconstruction, the house should be paid for, but if not, there can be an existing lien as long as the lender is willing to subordinate the lien to the City of San Angelo’s lien. When appropriate, a local title company will examine the title for proof of ownership, title problems, pre-existing liens, and judgments. d. Capacity to Repay. The applicant must be able and willing to make monthly loan payments. In no case, will the loan payment exceed thirty percent (31%) of the anticipated adjusted household income.

e. 15 Year Limitation. New homes constructed in the past fifteen (15) years are not eligible for rehab. Once the fifteen year period has expired, the house will be eligible.

5. ADDITIONAL LOAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NEW/RECONSTRUCTION

The City will provide assistance in the form of a grant for the demolition, a No-interest Deferred Payment Loan (DPL), and a 2% Housing New/Reconstruction Loan (HRL) for replacing the substandard unit or building a new structure on a separate lot. The DPL & HRL portions will be determined by the Grant-To-Loan Ratio Chart shown in Chapter 7, “Loan Terms and Conditions,” of these Guidelines. The HRL will be for a period of fifteen (15) years with 2% interest if funded through the Revitalization Program. The DPL will also be a fifteen (15) year note written off at 1/120th per month, unless the total amount of assistance is less than $40,000 in the case of new construction, in which case the DPL will be a ten (10) year note written off at 1/180th per month. Recapture Provisions: In the event of a sale, short sale and/or foreclosure, the amount recaptured will be limited to the amount of ‘net proceeds’ available at the time of such occurrence. Community and Housing Support has the right to review and assess special circumstances where recapture will cause homelessness and take appropriate action to avoid harm to include forgiving the HRL. Legal instruments, forms, and notices will include the following as applicable:

o Application forms o Release in Full of All Claims o Housing Rehabilitation Agreement o Real Estate Lien Note(s) o Deed of Trust o Work write-up for Reconstruction o Notice to Proceed Form o Change Order form o Affidavit of Completion of Work (Work Performed by Contractor) o All Bills Paid Affidavit and Certificate of Warranty and Release o Waiver of Lien

6. AFFORDABILITY PROVISIONS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

23

Affordability requirements of 24 CFR § 92.254 of the Regulations for the following period (the “Affordability Period”) shall be met beginning after project completion for new construction or for the homebuyer’s assistance component of the Revitalization Program. CHS shall be responsible for screening applicants for assistance and maintaining affordability in accordance with those requirements. CHS will ensure that no application for new construction or homebuyer’s assistance is approved unless (i) the applicant and the home to be purchased will meet the affordability requirements of 24 CFR § 92.254, and (ii) the affordability requirements are enforced by means of a subordinate lien on the purchased property ensuring resale as set forth in 24 CFR § 92.254 (a)(5)(ii). The affordability period, occupancy requirements and the term of the DPL is based on the amount of HOME assistance that is provided. The DPL will be forgiven in equal amounts each month during the period of affordability. The following table indicates the term of the note and the number of years the household is required to occupy the home as their principal residence:

Homeownership Assistance HOME Amount Per-Unit

Amount of Assistance Up to $15,000 $15,000 to $40,000 More than $40,000

Affordability Period (Occupancy Requirement)

5 Years 10 Years 15 Years

Verification of Loan Provisions: During the affordability period, CHS will verify the principal-residence requirement annually. Confirmation of residency will be accomplished through a review of tax and water department records. In addition, CHS staff will conduct on-site monitoring of approximately 10% of the HOME assisted properties annually to verify residency. A requirement of the program is that the home buyer will allow CHS staff to conduct on-site monitoring of the property.

7. ADDITIONAL POINTS OF AGREEMENT

The following are additional points of agreement that the applicant must agree to, as required, in order to participate in new/reconstruction, and by which the applicant is to abide:

VOLUNTARY RELEASE FOR DEMOLITION. If the existing house must be

demolished for reconstruction or construction to occur, the applicant will first be required to sign a voluntary release giving the City of San Angelo permission to demolish their existing home using the CHS Demolition Program. In the case of new construction on a different lot, the home will be demolished and the lot will revert to the City of San Angelo in exchange for building on the new lot.

PRESERVATION OF THE SECURITY. Maintain the property and all improvements

and permit the Community and Housing Support staff to inspect the property during the term of the loan.

24

HAZARD INSURANCE & PROPERTY TAXES. The owner(s) shall maintain hazard insurance and pay property taxes during the term of the loan. Failure to do so may result in foreclosure and resale of the property.

TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY. Owner(s) agrees not to sell, transfer, or move out of

the house without repaying the remaining portions of both loans, unless prior written consent from the Community and Housing Support Department is sought and received.

8. PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND CHANGE ORDERS

Work write-ups, specifications, and plans will be prepared by or obtained by the Community and Housing Support staff. Such plans will provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing for the applicant’s existing family. The plans will be reviewed with the applicant before bids are requested. If the applicant does not approve the plans and adjustments cannot be made, then the project will not proceed.

The Community and Housing Support Department reserves the right to either bid the project out turnkey to a General Contractor or to act as its’ own General Contractor, using in-house labor as feasible and bidding required trades to subcontractors. General or subcontractors will be required to adhere to the plans and specifications and to obtain all applicable permits. Change orders may not be negotiated between the applicant and either the general contractor or subcontractors, but may be negotiated between the applicant or the general contractor and Community and Housing Support.

9. VOLUNTARY TEMPORARY RELOCATION ASSISTANCE

Temporary relocation grant assistance may be provided to assist persons who must temporarily vacate their residence due to the reconstruction activities on their home. This grant and guidelines will be administered under the City of San Angelo’s Voluntary Temporary Relocation Assistance Policy, Appendix F, adopted by the City of San Angelo. Any applicant may choose alternative living arrangements paid for by the applicant with no assistance from the City. No eligible applicant will be required to accept the assistance offered to them.

10. TIME FRAME FOR COMPLETION

The City’s goal is to keep the family’s temporary relocation period to a minimum. The project start date is the date when demolition begins and the project end date will be the date when the house passes inspection and is issued a Certificate of Occupancy by the Building Inspection Department. The actual time frame for completing the project will be set forth in the Contract between the City and the contractor performing the work. The applicant will be given sufficient time as determined by Community and Housing Support to relocate from the home prior to demolition and to return to the home following reconstruction.

In some cases, such as bad weather, this period may be extended by an amendment to the building Contract. A request for extension must be submitted by the contractor in writing to the Community and Housing Support Director, listing the exact days work could not be performed and the reasons. Extensions will be granted on a day per day basis only.

CHAPTER 3

DEMOLITION PROGRAM

29

CHAPTER 3 DEMOLITION PROGRAM

1. PURPOSE The Demolition Program is designed to assist in the removal of structures that are substandard

and not suitable for rehab, thus eliminating slum and blight influences while improving the appearance and safety of the neighborhoods. Most structures demolished under the CHS Demolition Program will be vacant. In some cases, however, demolition assistance may be provided for an owner-occupied house so long as the demolition is performed in accordance with CDBG objectives, the City Codes regarding Dangerous or Substandard Buildings, and the City’s Voluntary Temporary Relocation Assistance policy. The demolition policy for occupied houses is discussed below under Eligible Project Sites.

2. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS

In order to receive assistance under the Demolition Program, the applicant must generally meet the minimum requirements set forth for applicants for rehabilitation in Chapter 1 of these Guidelines; however, applicants whose adjusted annual income exceeds the moderate income limit, but is not more than 200% of the moderate income limit can qualify for a partial demolition grant. However, funds will be used primarily for those who meet the low to moderate income limits.

3. ELIGIBLE PROJECT SITES a. The project site must be within City limits;

b. Vacant structures such as houses, sheds, storage buildings, and detached garages or carports that are determined dangerous or substandard as set forth in the City of San Angelo Code of Ordinances (Article 4.12000 and Article 4.13000) and determined to be substandard and not suitable for rehabilitation as defined in Chapter 2 of these guidelines by the Housing Program Administrator;

c. Occupied substandard, but suitable for rehab houses are eligible project sites provided that there will be proper documentation that a new house will be constructed and that the occupants have acquired temporary housing;

d. Occupied substandard and not suitable for rehab are eligible project sites provided that appropriate alternative housing arrangements are made under one of the other programs described in these guidelines.

4. SALVAGE RIGHTS/SALVAGABLE ITEMS In general, the applicant must remove all items that they wish to salvage prior to the undertaking

of the demolition project. Once the Demolition Authorization form has been executed, the entire house and all items not removed will be part of the demolition.

5. STEPS FOR DEMOLITION GRANT

30

Detailed steps for submitting and processing demolition applications as well as specific steps to be followed when undertaking approved demolition work are included at the end of Chapter 8, “Application Process and Work Procedures.”

6. ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT OF LOWER INCOME DWELLING UNITS4

Federal regulations require that all occupied and vacant substandard but suitable for rehab lower income homes demolished in a federally assisted project must be replaced with comparable lower income homes. Though Federal Regulations grant some exceptions to this requirement at the discretion of the HUD field office, the City of San Angelo will not demolish an occupied substandard but suitable for rehab home without documentation that a comparable dwelling unit will be built. Further, the City of San Angelo will not demolish any vacant substandard but suitable for rehabilitation home.

7. VOLUNTARY TEMPORARY RELOCATION ASSISTANCE POLICY

Voluntary temporary relocation assistance may be provided to assist persons who must temporarily relocate due to the demolition work and reconstruction activities on their home. HUD Guidelines and the City’s Voluntary Temporary Relocation Assistance Policy adopted by the City of San Angelo, Appendix F, will be followed when providing voluntary temporary relocation assistance. Under no circumstances will permanent relocation assistance be provided in conjunction with activities assisted under this program, unless made under one of the other programs in these guidelines.

CHAPTER 4

HOMEBUYER’S ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

33

Chapter 4 Homebuyer’s Assistance Program

1. PURPOSE The purpose of the Homebuyer’s Assistance Program (HAP) is to assist low to moderate income families with the purchase of a home, thus expanding the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for low to moderate income families. Assistance for HAP will be provided as down payment and closing cost assistance in the form of a forgivable, no-interest, deferred payment loan (i.e. grant) to income qualified homebuyers on a first-come, first-served basis. The Community and Housing Support Department shall establish the amount of down payment and/or closing cost assistance for each qualified applicant who is eligible to receive assistance in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this chapter.

2. LEGAL AUTHORITY Grants are available to the City of San Angelo from HUD through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) pursuant to regulations 24 CFR Part 92 (the “Regulations”) promulgated under the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act.

3. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS

To be eligible for the HAP, families or single individuals must be low/moderate income at the time the household initially occupies the property or at the time the HOME funds are invested, whichever is later. All income information must be verified. Income verification is valid for a six-month period following determination of income. If the home buyer does not close on the loan within six months of the income determination, income information must be provided and verified again. The family’s income will be calculated based upon the “Annual Income” definition adopted by the City Council for the HOME program as set forth in Section 3b of Chapter 1 and must not exceed the HUD established income limits for San Angelo, Texas, then in effect. In addition, the low/moderate income family may have no more than $5,000.00 consistently in their checking/savings account for a period of six months or more. In addition to the income eligibility requirements, the applicant must be approved by a lending institution; and the applicant must not owe debts to the City of San Angelo or any other local taxing entities.

4. ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES

Eligible properties include existing single-family dwellings or single-family homes yet to be constructed. Newly constructed homes, including those developed by Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) or their partners, must have a Certificate of Occupancy issued prior to final assistance payment. One Hundred Year Flood Plain: Homes located in the one hundred year flood plain are not eligible for HAP funding. Properties located within the 500 Year Flood Plain are eligible for assistance.

34

A. Amount of Funds per Unit The amount of HOME funds invested on a per-unit subsidy basis in affordable housing may not exceed the per-unit dollar amounts established under Section 221(d)(3)(ii) of the National Affordable Housing Act, then in effect. The total amount of HOME assistance provided, including assistance provided under the HAP, Revitalization Program housing rehab component or any other HOME funded program, must not exceed the maximum per-unit subsidy established by HUD for San Angelo, Texas, then in effect.

B. Property Inspection and Environmental Review

Following the receipt and approval of the completed application and initial qualification, CHS will conduct an inspection of the property to determine property condition, compliance with property and environmental standards, Lead-Based Paint Inspection Standards (Refer to Chapter 6, “Lead Based Paint Hazards”), and local codes. The property must meet International Building Code Standards to insure all health and safety violations are corrected prior to closing. If the structure is determined to be a health or safety risk, the applicant and the lending institution will be notified in writing of the property’s deficiencies. CHS will make the first two HOME program required property inspections at no cost to the participating lending institution or buyer. All inspections thereafter of the same property will cost $25.00 each. It should be noted that this does not include FHA or VA inspections, but these costs may be included in closing costs. CHS will perform a limited environmental inspection of the property. Activities to assist home buyers are categorically excluded, not subject to 24 CFR §58.5. However, CHS must review the property for compliance with 24 CFR §58.6. (Flood Disaster Act, Coastal Barrier Resource Act, Runway Clear Zone)

C. Property Appraisal

A full appraisal of the property by a qualified third-party is necessary. A signed copy of the full appraisal must be provided to CHS before disbursement of HOME funds is approved. The appraised property value must be equal to or less than the published FHA 203(b) mortgage limits adjusted for size and type of housing. In no case will the sales price exceed the maximum FHA 203(b) mortgage limits established by HUD for San Angelo, Texas, then in effect.

5. FORMS OF ASSISTANCE AND COST REQUIREMENTS

A. Amount of Assistance For income qualified applicants, down payment assistance will be a minimum of $1,000 up to an amount that will keep the monthly housing cost (principal, interest, property taxes, and insurance, “PITI”) at or below the FHA Standard and up to 100% of all eligible closing costs with the total amount of all assistance being a maximum of $12,000 for properties located inside one of four neighborhoods targeted for revitalization, and $9,000 for properties located outside the target areas. Subject to the maximum allocations, closing cost assistance may also include $750.00 for the purchase of a City tax lot in a designated area of the City’s Urban Redevelopment Program.

35

Amount of assistance will be calculated as such: • 15% of the appraised value of the home not to exceed $12,000 for homes located in target

areas • 10% of the appraised value of the home not to exceed $9,000 for homes located outside

the target areas but still in the city limits Applicant’s personal funds, if any, that can be contributed towards the down payment may be used toward reducing the monthly payment if applicant so chooses. B. Forms of Assistance Homebuyer’s assistance will be provided in the form of a forgivable, no-interest, deferred payment loan (DPL). The DPL will be forgiven at a rate of 1/60th per month for 60 months subject to the affordability provisions of Section 8B of this chapter. If the program participant occupies the home as set forth in Section 8B, no portion of the loan will have to be repaid. The DPL will be reflected in a Second Subordinate Deed of Trust as a second lien. C. Eligible Costs.

Eligible down payment and closing costs may be paid in an amount up to 100% of the maximum assistance of $12,000 or $9,000 and may include:

• the amount of the down payment, • no more than 1% origination fee, • no more than 1% discount fee, • the full appraisal fee, • credit report, • 50% of the escrow/closing fee, • note and deed of trust preparation fee, • mortgagee title policy, • recording fees, • survey, • pest inspection, • flood certification, • required prepaid hazard insurance, taxes, and MIP, • document preparation fees, • and $750.00 for the purchase of a city tax lot in a designated area of the City’s

Urban Redevelopment Program.

Designated areas of the Urban Redevelopment Program are areas of the City that have been identified for infill development and are listed as Exhibit A to an Interlocal Agreement, dated November 17, 1998, among Tom Green County, San Angelo Independent School District, Tom Green County Appraisal District, and the City of San Angelo. D. Qualifying Ratios. Housing (front end) and debt-to-income (back end) ratios will be set to FHA standards and

36

adjusted accordingly. The 2008 approved FHA qualifying ratios are 31% and 43%. Therefore, in order to receive assistance through the HAP program, the loan offered by an approved lending institution cannot exceed 31% of an applicant’s gross monthly income and the debt-to-income ratio cannot exceed 43% of the applicant’s gross monthly income. This change will allow a larger number of deserving families to purchase their first home while not increasing the risk of default. As always, if either or both ratios are exceeded on a manually underwritten or FHA mortgage, the lender must describe the compensating factors used to justify mortgage approval. If the ratios are higher and the loan is going FHA, then our department would be able to approve assistance. For those borrowers who qualify under FHA’s Energy Efficient Homes (EEH), as described in handbook HUD-4155.1 REV-5, paragraph 2-19, the “stretch ratios” are increased to 33% and 45%. At the time of closing, any earnest or option fee money collected for the transaction WILL NOT be paid back to the buyer. NO funds go back to the buyer at closing.

6. APPLICATION PROCESS

Applicants for the HAP may apply through a participating lending institution, a participating mortgage broker, or CHS. Applicants applying through a participating lending institution or mortgage broker will be referred to CHS. Applicants applying through CHS, who meet the income guidelines, will be referred to a participating lending institution or mortgage broker on a rotating basis. The lending institution or mortgage broker must qualify the applicant according to the lending institution’s requirements for mortgage loans. In order to participate in this program, applicants must meet the lending institution and HAP requirements. Applicants must also sign a Confidential Release of Information Form. Assistance will only be provided when the prospective program participant has been approved for a mortgage loan with a participating lending institution and either the participating lending institution or mortgage broker has signed a Letter of Understanding with CHS for HAP.

CHS, the participating lending institution or the participating mortgage broker will explain the basic program requirements to give the applicant a fundamental understanding of the application process and approximate time frames involved, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Assistance provided by the HAP; 2. Basic conditions of the deferred payment loan; 3. Income verification requirements; 4. Need for property inspection by CHS; 5. How HQS and local codes affect property eligibility; 6. Basic resale provisions; and 7. Lead based paint notice.

The lending institution or mortgage broker must provide CHS with a copy of the mortgage application containing such information as borrower’s name and income, property address, sales price, loan approval amount, down payment and closing costs required, and total monthly housing costs including principal, interest, estimated taxes and insurance. CHS must also be provided a copy of the good faith estimate containing such information as itemized closing costs, a

37

breakdown of prepaid items, and a total of settlement charges. All these items must be provided prior to approval of assistance.

During the application process, the applicant must cooperate with CHS staff by completing the HAP application, providing all specified information and documentation to determine eligibility or any other applicable information necessary to determine eligibility and amount of assistance and, if approved, must sign all specified documents before HAP assistance can be provided. Failure to cooperate with CHS may result in a delay or denial of the applicant’s approval for HAP assistance. The Program Forms prepared by the CHS Department are the forms which must be used for the approval of an applicant’s participation in HAP. Upon closing, a copy of the signed closing statement, recorded deed, recorded first lien deed of trust, and original second lien deed of trust must be provided to CHS.

7. RESPONSIBILITIES A. CHS’s Responsibilities.

CHS will process applications for HAP, counsel applicants concerning HAP, answer their questions, and give other assistance to applicants as needed. CHS will also determine eligibility and amount of assistance in accordance with these Guidelines and otherwise act as servicing agent for the applications. CHS will provide the Written Notice prescribed by HUD to sellers that states the City will not enact its eminent domain to acquire the property its applicant is trying to acquire. CHS will notify the lending institutions and/or applicants promptly of any changes in the HAP.

B. Applicant’s Responsibilities.

During the application process, the applicant must cooperate with CHS staff by completing the HAP application, providing all specified information and documentation to determine eligibility or any other applicable information necessary to determine eligibility and amount of assistance and, if approved, must sign all specified documents before HAP assistance can be provided. Failure to cooperate with CHS may result in a delay or denial in the applicant’s approval for HAP assistance.

HAP funds can only be provided under certain provisions. These include:

• The buyer(s) must occupy the property as their principal residence. • The buyer(s) must occupy the property in accordance with the affordability period

determined by the amount of HOME assistance invested in the home. • Property cannot be rented or subleased during the period of affordability. • The buyer(s) must hold the property in fee-simple title. • The ownership interest must be subject only to the first mortgage and Deed of Trust prior to

the Second Deed of Trust. HOME BUYERS EDUCATION CLASS: Participants must attend Home Buyers Education programs or seminars sponsored by a participating lending institution or the City of San Angelo. The education programs must focus on home ownership and meet Fannie Mae or HUD guidelines for homebuyer education. A copy of the certificate of completion of the Home Buyers Education

38

program must be provided to CHS. For online programs, participants must pass the end of course exam and provide proof to CHS. C. Lending Institution/Mortgage Broker Responsibilities The lending institution or mortgage broker will pre-approve potential homebuyers based on an affordable fixed rate mortgage for eligibility in the HAP and refer eligible homebuyers accepted into the lending institution or mortgage broker’s Community Home Buyers Program or equivalent program, to CHS. Referral of homebuyers will not be made until a determination is made that other financial resources are generally unavailable to the homebuyer.

The lending institution or mortgage broker will conduct or refer home buyers to a Home Buyers Education Program or equivalent training seminar and maintain a record of attendance by home buyers referred to the CHS’s HAP program. Homebuyers must complete the seminars to be eligible for the program.

The lending institution or mortgage broker will ensure that the applicant completes a Confidential Release of Information form so that CHS, the lending institution and the mortgage broker can share such information and provide a copy of the Confidential Release of Information form to CHS.

The lending institution or mortgage broker will provide CHS with copies of the homebuyer’s loan application, income verifications, and other pertinent information, upon referral of the homebuyer for the HAP.

The lending institution or mortgage broker will originate the mortgage loans made under this program. Sale of the mortgage loans and servicing is at the discretion of the lending institution; however, the lending institution or mortgage broker must notify CHS when loans are sold on a secondary market. The lending institution or mortgage broker must notify CHS prior to any foreclosure proceedings on any of the loans funded through this program.

The credit-worthiness of each homebuyer and the suitability of the property as collateral for the mortgage loan will be determined by the lending institution or mortgage broker.

The risk of nonpayment or other event of default by the homebuyer of the first mortgage lien is solely that of the lending institution or mortgage broker. The lending institution or mortgage broker acknowledges the only financial obligation of CHS is to pay, out of available HAP funds, down payment and approved closing costs as set forth in a Letter of Understanding between CHS and the lending institution and/or mortgage broker.

8. PAYMENT AND LOAN PROVISIONS

a. Payment Process

HAP funds will be paid to the appropriate closing agency on behalf of the program participants after eligible amounts have been determined by CHS in accordance with these Guidelines.

Closing agents must provide CHS adequate time to review and confirm the assistance amount, which is based on the final HUD-1 settlement statement. Incomplete or inaccurate information

39

will delay the process. Charges left out or incorrectly reported on the settlement statement are not CHS’s responsibility. If changes are necessary due to errors or the date of the closing after CHS approves the funding amount, the HAP assistance amount may be changed accordingly, up to the maximum amount of assistance. If such changes affect the 31% monthly payment rule, other funds must be provided to ensure that the 31% rule is met. b. Affordability Requirements

The housing shall meet the affordability requirements of 24 CFR § 92.254 of the Regulations for the appropriate period determined by the amount of HOME investment (the “Affordability Period”), beginning at the time HOME assistance is provided for down payment and closing cost assistance or at completion of rehabilitation or construction with HOME assistance. CHS shall be responsible for screening applicants for down payment and closing cost assistance and maintaining affordability in accordance with those requirements. CHS will ensure that no application for HAP is approved unless (i) the applicant and the home to be purchased will meet the affordability requirements of 24 CFR § 92.254 of the Regulations, and (ii) the affordability requirements are enforced by means of a subordinate lien on the purchased property ensuring resale as set forth in 24 CFR § 92.254 (a)(5)(ii). The affordability period, occupancy requirements, and the term of the DPL is based on the amount of HOME assistance that is provided. The DPL will be forgiven in equal amounts each month during the period of affordability. The following table indicates the term of the note and the number of years the household is required to occupy the home as their principal residence to fully comply with the HAP.

Homeownership Assistance HOME Amount Per-Unit

Amount of Assistance Up to $15,000 $15,000 to $40,000 More than $40,000

Affordability Period (Occupancy Requirement)

5 Years 10 Years 15 Years

c. Recapture Provisions In the event of a sale, short sale and/or foreclosure, the amount recaptured will be limited to the amount of ‘net proceeds’ available at the time of such occurrence. d. Verification of Loan Provisions

During the five affordability period, CHS will verify the principal-residence requirement annually. Confirmation of residency will be accomplished through a review of tax and water department records. In addition, CHS staff will conduct on-site monitoring of approximately 10% of the HOME assisted properties annually to verify residency. A requirement of the program is that the home buyer will allow CHS staff to conduct on-site monitoring of the property.

CHAPTER 5

LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS

CHAPTER 5 LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS

1. GENERAL

The CDBG and HOME Programs must adhere to title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations as part 35, subpart J (24 CFR 35 Subpart J-Rehabilitation). Lead Hazard Reduction activities complying with the regulation, which took effect on September 15, 2000, will be done in order to safely reduce lead-based paint hazards in and around homes built prior to 1978, when lead-based paint was banned for residential use, for low/moderate income owner-occupied homes that receive housing rehabilitation assistance under any of the programs described in these guidelines.

This chapter summarizes requirements and serves as an overview for the main objectives of the regulations. It will be used as a guide for carrying out lead hazard reduction activities in the CDBG and HOME programs. Also, any lead hazard reduction activities during housing rehabilitation will adhere to the Texas Department of Health’s Texas Environmental Lead Reduction Rules, as applicable.

2. LEAD POISONING PREVENTION

The primary reason for the reduction of lead-based paint hazards in homes built prior to 1978 is to protect children and families in these homes from the health risks of lead poisoning. Lead poisoning can cause permanent damage to the brain and other organs and can result in reduced intelligence and behavioral problems. Lead can also harm the developing fetus in an expectant mother. At greatest risk are children younger than 6 years old. Although special emphasis will be placed on homes with children younger than 6 years old, all homes receiving rehabilitation services will be evaluated and assessed for lead hazards and appropriate lead reduction activities will be carried out in a safe manner for the protection of both the household occupants and the workers according to the new regulations.

3. LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND

The regulation falls under sections 1012 and 1013 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, Title X of the Housing and Community and Housing Support Act of 1992. Sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X amended the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971, which is the basic law covering lead-based paint in federally assisted housing. The regulation for housing rehabilitation activities appears at title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations as part 35, subpart J (24 CFR 35 Subpart J-Rehabilitation).

4. TYPES OF HOUSING COVERED/NOT COVERED

COVERED All owner-occupied residential homes that have been approved for rehabilitation work

and were built prior to 1978 (includes Emergency Repair Program projects). Any post-1978 constructed home where a child or person resides who has been identified

with an Elevated Blood Lead Level (EBLL). A Lead Inspection and or Risk Assessment will be done on these homes to determine if there is any lead-based paint in the home or

42

in the soil around the home. If lead is found, a determination of the lead-based paint hazards associated with the presence of the detected lead will be conducted.

Outbuildings and fences are covered under subpart J. Under that subpart, treatment (paint stabilization, if the federal rehab assistance is up to $5,000 per housing unit; or interim controls, over $5,000 and up to $25,000; or LBP hazard abatement, over $25,000) is required only if the paint is deteriorated (up to $5,000) or the paint is deteriorated paint and, as is required for a risk assessment for over $5,000, found to be LBP. Note: For outbuildings and fences - If the paint is in good condition, it doesn’t need to be treated, even if it is tested and found to be LBP.

NOT COVERED Owner-occupied residential homes built after January 1, 1978, except for the above noted

exception Property that has already been found to be free of lead-based paint by a certified lead

inspector Property where all lead-based paint has been removed by abatement Unoccupied residential homes that will remain vacant until demolished Non-residential properties Homes receiving rehabilitation or housing improvements that do not disturb a painted

surface 5. OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENTS

The “Lead-Safe Housing Rule - Applicability Form” and the “Lead-Safe Housing Rule Checklist for General Compliance Documentation” must be completed to insure all lead requirements are met as applicable for each project.

APPROACH TO LEAD HAZARD EVALUATION AND REDUCTION The requirements for rehabilitation will correspond to the three approaches of lead hazard evaluation and reduction. Complete rehabilitation work must meet more stringent requirements than emergency repairs. The three approaches and the levels of rehabilitation assistance (costs) are:

1) Do No Harm (<$5,000) - Perform the rehabilitation in a way that does not create

additional lead hazards. Clearance of work site. 2) Identify and Control Lead Hazards ($5,000 to $25,000) - Identify lead-based paint and

hazards and use a range of interim control and abatement methods to address the hazards. Clearance of unit.

3) Identify and Abate Lead Hazards (>$25,000) - Identify lead-based paint hazards and remove them permanently by abatement. Clearance of unit.

For the Homebuyer’s Assistance Program:

4) Identify and Stabilize deteriorated paint – Identify lead-based paint hazards and repair any physical defects causing paint deterioration, removing loose paint, and applying a new protective coating or paint. Assistance will be provided through the CHS Housing Rehabilitation Program.

43

6. NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS The following lead-based paint notification requirements apply to all homes receiving homebuyer’s or rehabilitation assistance: 1. Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet (24 CFR 35.910 & 35.130) “Protect Your Family

From Lead In Your Home” pamphlet must be given to each rehab applicant at time of application, with applicant signing an acknowledgment of receipt.

2. Notice of Hazard Evaluation or Presumption. (24 CFR 35.910 & 35.125). Applicant must be given notification of any lead hazard evaluation results (or the presumption of lead-based paint/hazards) within 15 days of completion.

3. Notice of Hazard Reduction and Clearance. (24 CFR 35.125). Applicant must be given a summary of the nature and scope of the completed hazard reduction activities. Also results of the final clearance testing must be given within 15 days of completion.

The following chart summarizes the requirements of the regulation:

44

As shown in the preceding chart, the lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities required for rehabilitation projects depends on the dollar amount of rehabilitation assistance committed to the project. This level of assistance is determined by the rehabilitation project hard costs. The rehabilitation hard costs exclude the following soft costs when calculating the level of assistance:

• Administrative costs • Inspections and specification preparation fees • Environmental reviews • Temporary relocation costs • Lead hazard evaluation and reduction work

7. Lead-Based Paint Reduction Activities During Property Inspection

The property inspection for complete rehabilitation on types of housing covered will also include a lead hazard evaluation and paint testing. The lead hazard evaluation will be carried out either by a Community and Housing Support staff member who is a State Certified Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor or by a private Certified Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor. A post-1978 constructed home that is being inspected for complete rehabilitation, in which a child having an identified (EBLL) resides requires an interior and exterior risk assessment to determine if there are any lead-based paint hazards in the home or lead in the exterior soil that is causing the child to be poisoned. If any lead is found, then lead reduction activities will be included as part of the project.

Based on the inspection, CHS Housing Programs staff will prepare a work write-up and cost estimates for the project, keeping in mind that only the hard cost estimate will be used to determine the appropriate approach and lead hazard reduction activities to be carried out. The approach to “Identify and Control Lead Hazards” which involves interim controls will be followed.

Property inspection for emergency rehab work, less than $5,000 in hard costs, on pre-1978 constructed homes will automatically use the presumption of lead in the home and follow the “Do No Harm” approach with required activities as outlined in the preceding chart.

8. Planning the Work

Once the location and nature of lead hazards have been determined, the rehab staff and Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor will determine how these hazards can be best addressed in conjunction with the regular rehabilitation work. Key issues to consider will be: • What interim controls and what abatement work will be accomplished • What methods will be used to reduce lead-based paint hazards (i.e. paint stabilization or

component removal) • How lead reduction work will be coordinated with the regular rehabilitation work • If occupants need to be temporarily relocated to protect them and/or will household

contents need to be removed from the home to speed the work

45

9. Coordinating Rehabilitation and Lead Hazard Reduction Work

For most projects on pre-1978 constructed homes, the CHS Department will use Certified Lead Abatement workers to perform both the carpentry work and lead-based paint reduction work. When financially feasible, and when Certified Lead Firms are available, entire rehab projects involving lead reduction activities may be bid out on a turn-key basis (Details of lead-based paint requirements must be incorporated into bid specifications). In conjunction with the carpentry work and lead reduction work, contractors will be used to perform the plumbing, electrical, roofing, and painting work.

Close attention to detail will be necessary to safely coordinate the lead reduction work with the regular rehabilitation work and to prevent exposure of both the home’s occupants and the workers to lead contaminated dust during the rehabilitation process. In any project requiring lead reduction work, a pre-construction conference will be held. The pre-construction conference will be used as an opportunity for program staff/workers, contractor(s), and the homeowner(s) to meet in person and review key aspects of the rehabilitation work and any related lead hazard reduction activities. It also will be an opportunity to establish open lines of communication, make expectations and roles clear, and to bring up concerns. The following persons will attend pre-construction conferences when called for:

• All Community and Housing Support staff and workers involved with the project • The general contractor and subcontractors as applicable • Homeowner(s) and owner‘s representative (Usually a Son or Daughter) • Building Permit staff as applicable

The Housing Program Administrator will coordinate the work without creating additional hazards to either the home or the persons working on the project. Some possible scenarios include:

• Abate all lead-based paint before any other work is performed; or • If feasible and safe, have some or all of the plumbing and electrical work done first; OR • Perform lead hazard reduction work and rehabilitation in stages; • Painting will be performed as the next to last stage; and • Carpeting and other required flooring will be done as the last stage.

10. Voluntary Temporary Relocation

Occupants of homes with lead-based paint hazards must voluntarily temporarily relocate if necessary to facilitate the lead reduction activities. Temporary relocation assistance is available under the City’s Voluntary Temporary Relocation Assistance Policy. Not all lead reduction activities or related rehabilitation work will require temporary relocation. The Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor will determine this need based on the extent of the rehabilitation and hazards associated with the lead hazard reduction work.

46

Some situations requiring temporary relocation in connection with lead reduction activities are as follows: • A child under the age of six occupies the home; • Occupants cannot enter the work site due to containment measures; • Situations in which lead contaminated debris and dust cannot be contained in the work site

and may be spread to other areas of the home.

11. Supervising Lead Hazard Reduction Activities

The Certified Lead Supervisor will oversee the lead hazard reduction work by making site visits as required to ensure that the proper safe work practices are being carried out. The safe work practices that will be adhered to are as follows:

• Occupant Protection. Eliminating risks of exposing occupant(s) to lead contamination by

restricting access to the work site, containing debris and dust during work, using safe work practices, and cleaning the work site frequently. Also, it may mean temporarily relocating occupants.

• Work Site Preparation. Taking the following measures to reduce the spread of debris and

dust to other parts of the home: sealing doorways with poly sheeting; sealing off AC vents; covering floors, furniture, ground, and shrubs with poly sheeting; wrapping removed debris/building components with poly sheeting before disposal; removing lead contaminated protective clothing before leaving the work site; and by posting warning signs at entrances to the work site that are visible up to 20 feet from the work site.

• Worker Protection. Following the Texas Department of Health (TDH) safety regulations

applicable to workers who come into contact with lead, such as using safe work practices, wearing NIOSH-approved respirators; and wearing disposable gloves, work suits, booties, and head coverings.

• Daily Cleanup. Performing daily cleanup to rid job site of debris consisting of removed

components, paint chips, and dust in an effort to reduce occupant and worker exposure to lead hazards. A good daily cleanup will also reduce the chance that lead dust will be tracked to other parts of the dwelling and it will also facilitate the final cleanup for clearance. Daily cleanup will be monitored closely by the Housing Program Administrator or onsite Lead Supervisor.

• Safe Work Practices (Treatment Methods). Safe work practices will minimize dust and

the spread of lead contamination. Safe work practices will be required when disturbing more than 20 sq ft of exterior surfaces, 2 sq ft of interior surfaces, or more than ten percent (10%) of the total surface area of deteriorated paint on the exterior component.

47

The following chart summarizes safe work practices for treating lead-based paint.

HUD STANDARDS FOR SAFE AND PROHIBITED METHODS FOR TREATING LEAD-BASED PAINT

Examples of Safe Treatment Methods Removal of defective paint by:

Wet scraping; Wet sanding; Chemical stripping off site; Replacing painted components; Scraping with infrared or coil-type heat gun with temperatures below 1,100 F; HEPA vacuum sanding; HEPA vacuum needle gun; and Abrasive sanding with HEPA vacuum.

Covering of defective paint with:

Durable materials (such as, wallboard, or vinyl siding) with joints sealed and caulked. Prohibited Treatment Methods (24 CFR 35.140)

Open flame burning or torching; Machine sanding or grinding without HEPA local exhaust; Abrasive blasting or sandblasting without HEPA local dust; Heat guns operating above 1,100 F or charring paint; Dry scraping or dry sanding except in conjunction with heat guns or within one foot of electrical

outlets; and Paint stripping in a poorly ventilated space using a volatile stripper that is a hazardous substance.

12. Final Inspection and Clearance

When all rehabilitation work and lead reduction activities are completed, the Housing Program Administrator and the Lead Abatement Supervisor will perform checks to ensure that all work is complete and proper cleanup procedures have been done.

The following procedures are necessary in order to clear a house that has undergone lead reduction activities:

• Final Inspection. The final inspection includes ensuring that all lead hazard reduction work

has been completed properly and that proper cleanup has been performed. As part of the inspection process, the inspector will complete the Housing Quality Standards Inspection Form and check for completion of all work against the work write-up(s) and specifications.

48

• Clearance. The purpose of clearance is to make sure that the home is safe for occupants to return. Occupants will not be permitted to return to the home or contained work area until it has passed clearance. It is crucial that the work site is thoroughly cleaned before the clearance examiner arrives to take samples. If the home does not pass clearance, additional cleaning and another clearance inspection will be required. If the lead reduction activities are being done by a contracted Lead Firm, then it will be the responsibility of the firm to do the additional cleaning and testing at its cost and with no additional charge to Community and Housing Support Department.

• Occupant Notification. Community and Housing Support staff will notify applicant of the

results of the hazard reduction and clearance testing within 15 days of receiving the results.

• Documentation. The Community and Housing Support staff will properly document key activities and retain the following records for the life of the structure;

all Lead Inspection/Risk Assessment reports; all work write-ups; specifications, any warrantees/guarantees; results of all lab tests before and after work; copies of all notices given to homeowner; and before and after photographs of home.

percent by 1. percent by 1.

Example #1: Extremely Low Income Family

a. As of February 2005, the moderate income limit for a family of four (4) is $36,100 b. If a family of four (4) has an annual income of $9,295, divide $9,295 by $36,100 (annual

income divided by moderate income limit for a family of four) which is equal to 0.257 or 26%.

c. According to the Demolition Grant-to-Loan Ratio Chart, this family falls in the 0% to 100% category and would have a Grant to Loan Ratio of 100% grant and 0% loan.

d. If the total bid cost to demolish the home was $5,000, then the grant would cover all costs to demolish the house.

Example #2: a. As of February 2005, the moderate income limit for a family of three (3) is $32,450. b. If a family of three (3) has an annual income of $40,000, divide $40,000 by $32,450 which is

1.232or 123% c. According to the Demolition Grant-to-Loan Ratio Chart, this family falls in the 121% to

130% category and would have a grant-to-loan ratio of 70% grant, 30% loan d. If the total bid cost to demolish the house/building was $5,000, then the loan portion would

be $1,500 ($5,000 x .30 ((30%)) = $1,500) and the grant portion would be $3,500 ($5,000 x .70 ((70%)) = $3,500)

e. Their monthly payments would be $25 a month for 60 months. Example # 3: a. As of February 2005, the moderate income limit for a family of three (3) is $32,450. b. If a family of three (3) has an annual income of $60,000, divide $60,000 by $32,450 which is

1.848 or 185% c. According to the Demolition Grant-to-Loan Ratio Chart, this family falls above 150% income

at 185% and would have a grant-to-loan ratio of 15% grant (185% - 150% = 35%, thus 50% - 35% = 15%) and a 85% loan (185% - 150% = 35%, thus 50% + 35% = 85%)

d. If the total cost to demolish the home/building is $5,000, then the loan portion would be $4,250 ($5,000 x .85 ((85%)) = $4,250) and the grant ratio would be $750 ($5,000 x .15 ((15%)) = $750).

e. Their monthly payments would be $35 for 119 months and a final payment of $85. 3. MAXIMUM LOAN AMOUNT

In accordance with Chapter 1 of these guidelines, the maximum loan amount for the CHS Rehab Program will be $24,999. The maximum time to pay off the loan will be ten years (120 months). The maximum time to pay a new/reconstruction loan is 15 years (180 months), unless the loan amount exceeds $30,000, in which case, the loan may be up to fifteen years (180 months). New construction will be financed under terms applicant selects after all amounts of assistance have been determined.

53

For both Programs, the minimum monthly payment for any loan is $25, except the final payment could be less than $25 to pay the remaining balance. Generally, the monthly payment should not exceed 30% of total adjusted household income. Emergency repairs not covered by the 100% Grant Program or minor repair loans will be set in amount and duration in accordance with these guidelines. In most complete rehab loans, the monthly payment amount will be determined by dividing the amount of the loan by 120; however, the CHS Department may reduce the number of months if the loan will be affordable to the homeowner. New/reconstruction loans will be calculated by dividing the amount of the loan by 120 or 180 months for the monthly payment as applicable.

All loan payments will be in whole dollar amounts except for the last payment which will be used for any adjustments.

Example #1: $500 loan = 20 monthly payments @ $25.

Example #2: $10,000 loan for 10 years = 119 monthly payments @ $84 and 1 @ $4. Example #3: $4,000 loan = 117 monthly payments @ $34 and 1 @ $22.

Example #4: $12,500 loan for 10 years = 119 monthly payments @ $104 and 1 @ $124. Example #5: $15,000 loan for 10 years = 120 monthly payments @ $125. Example #6: $32,000 loan for 15 years = 179 monthly payments @ $178 and 1 @ $138. The actual terms of the loan will be set forth in the Real Estate Lien Note. Under no circumstances will an applicant be forced to sign a Real Estate Lien Note; however, no rehabilitation or reconstruction work can begin without a signed Real Estate Lien Note.

4. PAYMENTS AND PAST DUE ACCOUNTS Payments shall be due on the 5th day of every month and are late if paid after the 15th of the month, unless the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case payment is due on the next business day.

A Late Payment Fee in the amount of $5.00 will be charged for each and every month for which payment is not received by the 15th of the month in which payment was due, with appropriate exceptions made for those instances when the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday.

Late Payment Fees for past due accounts will be noted on the next month’s statement with the total amount due being the amount of the current month’s payment, all past due monthly payments, and all Late Payment Fees.

Semi-annually, all loan accounts will be reviewed for payment status. All delinquent account holders will be sent a letter requesting the account holder to contact the CHS Department for a counseling session. If appropriate, the account holder will be referred to an approved non-profit credit counseling agency to work out a plan to pay the amount past due, including Late Payment Fees, and resume monthly payments.

54

If the account holder fails to contact the CHS Department or fails to meet the plan worked out with the credit counseling agency, a letter will be sent notifying the account holder that until the loan is made current they will not be eligible for further assistance under either the CHS Rehab Program or the Revitalization Program. Accounts will be turned over to the City Attorney if no payments are made during a 12-month period.

APPENDIX B HOUSING STANDARDS

The City of San Angelo requires that all rehabilitation work performed under either the CHS Rehab Program or the HOME Revitalization Program meet applicable City Building Codes. In addition, the City of San Angelo has elected to use the local standards that are compatible with the International Building Code, to supplement the City Building Codes, as applicable to the rehab work, to meet the health, safety, and sanitation standards for houses assisted under these programs. Houses assisted under these programs must meet or exceed these standards. Houses receiving emergency assistance do not specifically have to meet standards but should not pose serious health or safety threats to the occupants of the home. Routine maintenance will not be performed as part of the Rehab or Revitalization Programs. The occupants of the house should take reasonable action to ensure that the house continues to meet set housing standards. Housing Standards are the performance requirements set forth by HUD in determining whether houses meet minimum standards for safe, healthy and sanitary living. In addition, these standards are often adopted and applied for other Federal programs (such as HUD’s HOME Program). One of the primary objectives of the CDBG program described in the previous section is “the elimination of conditions which are detrimental to the health, safety, and public welfare through code enforcement, demolition, interim rehabilitation assistance, and related activities.” The Housing Standards set forth a performance requirement and acceptability criteria for categories such as general sanitation, food preparation facilities, air quality, water supply, and lead-based paint. The performance requirement is the desired condition (ex. the housing unit must include sanitary facilities), while the acceptability criteria is used to determine if the house has met or exceeds the desired condition (ex. the unit includes a bathroom in a private room with a flush toilet, the unit must have a fixed basin in operating condition with hot and cold water, etc.). Below is a standard checklist questions used for CHS programs:

APPENDIX C TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION REVIEW

1. General

In accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act and the Antiquities Code of Texas, the Texas State Historical Commission is responsible for reviewing site eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register's standards for evaluating the significance of properties were developed to recognize the accomplishments of all peoples who have made a significant contribution to our country's history and heritage. The criteria are designed to guide State and local governments, Federal agencies, and others in evaluating potential entries in the National Register. Properties generally must be at least 50 years of age.

The Community and Housing Support Department will take all steps to determine if a site is eligible for the National Register; and if a site is eligible, all rehab work will be performed in a manner which will not disturb the historical integrity of the project site. Further, any rehab work performed on sites that are eligible for the National Register will be performed in consultation with the Texas State Historical Commission.

No demolition work will be undertaken without first consulting with the Texas State Historical Commission regardless of whether the structure is 50 years of age or not.

2.

Criteria for Evaluation

The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:

a. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns

of our history; or b. That are associated with the lives of significant persons in or past; or c. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or

that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or

d. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. 3.

Criteria Considerations

Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories: a. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or

historical importance; or b. A building or structure removed from its original location but which is primarily significant

for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or

c. A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building associated with his or her productive life; or

d. A cemetery that derives its primary importance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or

e. A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; or

f. A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own exceptional significance; or

g. A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.

APPENDIX D PUBLIC INFORMATION AND PRIVACY ACTS STATEMENTS

Generally, City records regarding CDBG and HOME activities are subject to inspection by HUD and are open to the public as required by Federal and State Law.5

Such information includes: the program participant’s name, location of rehab properties, amount of assistance provided, and the applicant’s income category. However, certain information deemed private and confidential by law regarding program participants will not be disclosed by any means of communication to any person, or to any other agency without the prior consent of the program participant. Examples of such confidential information would include: applicant’s social security number, the applicant’s exact household income, and debt and assets information.

A person or a person’s authorized representative has a special right of access, beyond the right of the general public, to information held by the City that relates to the person and that is protected from public disclosure by laws intended to protect that person’s privacy. The City will process such requests for information in a manner consistent with Federal and State Law. Further, an applicant has the right to request an amendment to a record pertaining to him or her and the City will abide by Federal and State Law when processing such requests.

PRIVACY ACT 5 U.S.C. SECTION 552

Sec. 552. Public information; agency rules, opinions, orders, records, and proceedings Each agency shall make available to the public information as follows: (1) Each agency shall separately state and currently publish in the Federal Register for the guidance of

the public - • (A) descriptions of its central and field organization and the established places at which, the

employees (and in the case of a uniformed service, the members) from whom, and the methods whereby, the public may obtain information, make submittals or requests, or obtain decisions;

• (B) statements of the general course and method by which its functions are channeled and determined, including the nature and requirements of all formal and informal procedures available;

• (C) rules of procedure, descriptions of forms available or the places at which forms may be obtained, and instructions as to the scope and contents of all papers, reports, or examinations;

• (D) substantive rules of general applicability adopted as authorized by law, and statements of general policy or interpretations of general applicability formulated and adopted by the agency; and (E) each amendment, revision, or repeal of the foregoing. Except to the extent that a person has actual and timely notice of the terms thereof, a person may not in any manner be required to resort to, or be adversely affected by, a matter required to be published in the Federal Register and not so published. For the purpose of this paragraph, matter reasonably available to the class of persons affected thereby is deemed published in the Federal Register when incorporated by reference therein with the approval of the Director of the Federal Register.

(2) Each agency, in accordance with published rules, shall make available for public inspection and

copying • (A) final opinions, including concurring and dissenting opinions, as well as orders, made in the

adjudication of cases; • (B) those statements of policy and interpretations which have been adopted by the agency and are

not published in the Federal Register; • (C) administrative staff manuals and instructions to staff that affect a member of the public; • (D) copies of all records, regardless of form or format, which have been released to any person

under paragraph (3) and which, because of the nature of their subject matter, the agency determines have become or are likely to become the subject of subsequent requests for substantially the same records; and

• (E) a general index of the records referred to under subparagraph (D); unless the materials are promptly published and copies offered for sale. For records created on or after November 1, 1996, within one year after such date, each agency shall make such records available, including by computer telecommunications or, if computer telecommunications means have not been established by the agency, by other electronic means. To the extent required to prevent a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, an agency may delete identifying details when it makes available or publishes an opinion, statement of policy, interpretation, staff manual, instruction, or copies of records referred to in subparagraph (D). However, in each case the justification for the deletion shall be explained fully in writing, and the extent of such deletion shall be indicated on the portion of the record which is made available or published, unless including that indication would harm an interest protected by the exemption in subsection (b) under which the deletion is made. If technically feasible, the extent of the deletion shall be indicated at the place in the record where the deletion was made. Each agency shall also maintain and make available for public

inspection and copying current indexes providing identifying information for the public as to any matter issued, adopted, or promulgated after July 4, 1967, and required by this paragraph to be made available or published. Each agency shall promptly publish, quarterly or more frequently, and distribute (by sale or otherwise) copies of each index or supplements thereto unless it determines by order published in the Federal Register that the publication would be unnecessary and impracticable, in which case the agency shall nonetheless provide copies of such index on request at a cost not to exceed the direct cost of duplication. Each agency shall make the index referred to in subparagraph (E) available by computer telecommunications by December 31, 1999. A final order, opinion, statement of policy, interpretation, or staff manual or instruction that affects a member of the public may be relied on, used, or cited as precedent by an agency against a party other than an agency only if – • (i) it has been indexed and either made available or published as provided by this paragraph;

or • (ii) the party has actual and timely notice of the terms thereof.

(3)

• (A) Except with respect to the records made available under paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, each agency, upon any request for records which (i) reasonably describes such records and (ii) is made in accordance with published rules stating the time, place, fees (if any), and procedures to be followed, shall make the records promptly available to any person.

• (B) In making any record available to a person under this paragraph, an agency shall provide the record in any form or format requested by the person if the record is readily reproducible by the agency in that form or format. Each agency shall make reasonable efforts to maintain its records in forms or formats that are reproducible for purposes of this section.

• (C) In responding under this paragraph to a request for records, an agency shall make reasonable efforts to search for the records in electronic form or format, except when such efforts would significantly interfere with the operation of the agency's automated information system.

• (D) For purposes of this paragraph, the term ''search'' means to review, manually or by automated means, agency records for the purpose of locating those records which are responsive to a request.

(4) (A)

• (i) In order to carry out the provisions of this section, each agency shall promulgate regulations, pursuant to notice and receipt of public comment, specifying the schedule of fees applicable to the processing of requests under this section and establishing procedures and guidelines for determining when such fees should be waived or reduced. Such schedule shall conform to the guidelines which shall be promulgated, pursuant to notice and receipt of public comment, by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and which shall provide for a uniform schedule of fees for all agencies.

• ii) Such agency regulations shall provide that - • (I) fees shall be limited to reasonable standard charges for document search,

duplication, and review, when records are requested for commercial use; • (II) fees shall be limited to reasonable standard charges for document duplication

when records are not sought for commercial use and the request is made by an educational or noncommercial scientific institution, whose purpose is scholarly or scientific research; or a representative of the news media; and (III) for any request not described in (I) or (II), fees shall be limited to reasonable standard charges for document search and duplication.

• (iii) Documents shall be furnished without any charge or at a charge reduced below the fees established under clause (ii) if disclosure of the information is in the public interest

because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.

• (iv) Fee schedules shall provide for the recovery of only the direct costs of search, duplication, or review. Review costs shall include only the direct costs incurred during the initial examination of a document for the purposes of determining whether the documents must be disclosed under this section and for the purposes of withholding any portions exempt from disclosure under this section. Review costs may not include any costs incurred in resolving issues of law or policy that may be raised in the course of processing a request under this section. No fee may be charged by any agency under this section - • (I) if the costs of routine collection and processing of the fee are likely to equal or

exceed the amount of the fee; or • (II) for any request described in clause (ii) (II) or (III) of this subparagraph for

the first two hours of search time or for the first one hundred pages of duplication.

• (v) No agency may require advance payment of any fee unless the requester has previously failed to pay fees in a timely fashion, or the agency has determined that the fee will exceed $250

• (vi) Nothing in this subparagraph shall supersede fees chargeable under a statute specifically providing for setting the level of fees for particular types of records.

.

• (vii) In any action by a requester regarding the waiver of fees under this section, the court shall determine the matter de novo: Provided, That the court's review of the matter shall be limited to the record before the agency.

• (B) On complaint, the district court of the United States in the district in which the complainant resides, or has his principal place of business, or in which the agency records are situated, or in the District of Columbia, has jurisdiction to enjoin the agency from withholding agency records and to order the production of any agency records improperly withheld from the complainant. In such a case the court shall determine the matter de novo, and may examine the contents of such agency records in camera to determine whether such records or any part thereof shall be withheld under any of the exemptions set forth in subsection (b) of this section, and the burden is on the agency to sustain its action. In addition to any other matters to which a court accords substantial weight, a court shall accord substantial weight to an affidavit of an agency concerning the agency's determination as to technical feasibility under paragraph (2)(C) and subsection (b) and reproducibility under paragraph (3)(B).

• (C) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the defendant shall serve an answer or otherwise plead to any complaint made under this subsection within thirty days after service upon the defendant of the pleading in which such complaint is made, unless the court otherwise directs for good cause shown.

• (D) Repealed. Pub. L. 98-620, title IV, Sec. 402(2), Nov. 8, 1984, 98 Stat. 3357.) • (E) The court may assess against the United States reasonable attorney fees and other litigation

costs reasonably incurred in any case under this section in which the complainant has substantially prevailed.

• (F) Whenever the court orders the production of any agency records improperly withheld from the complainant and assesses against the United States reasonable attorney fees and other litigation costs, and the court additionally issues a written finding that the circumstances surrounding the withholding raise questions whether agency personnel acted arbitrarily or capriciously with respect to the withholding, the Special Counsel shall promptly initiate a proceeding to determine whether disciplinary action is warranted against the officer or employee who was primarily responsible for the withholding. The Special Counsel, after investigation and consideration of the evidence submitted, shall submit his findings and recommendations to the administrative authority of the agency concerned and shall send copies of the findings and

recommendations to the officer or employee or his representative. The administrative authority shall take the corrective action that the Special Counsel recommends.

• (G) In the event of noncompliance with the order of the court, the district court may punish for contempt the responsible employee, and in the case of a uniformed service, the responsible member.

(5) Each agency having more than one member shall maintain and make available for public inspection a

record of the final votes of each member in every agency proceeding. (6)

• (A) Each agency, upon any request for records made under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of this subsection, shall - • (i) determine within 20 days (excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays) after

the receipt of any such request whether to comply with such request and shall immediately notify the person making such request of such determination and the reasons therefore, and of the right of such person to appeal to the head of the agency any adverse determination; and (ii) make a determination with respect to any appeal within twenty days (excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays) after the receipt of such appeal. If on appeal the denial of the request for records is in whole or in part upheld, the agency shall notify the person making such request of the provisions for judicial review of that determination under paragraph (4) of this subsection.

• (B) • i) In unusual circumstances as specified in this subparagraph, the time limits prescribed in

either clause (i) or clause (ii) of subparagraph (A) may be extended by written notice to the person making such request setting forth the unusual circumstances for such extension and the date on which a determination is expected to be dispatched. No such notice shall specify a date that would result in an extension for more than ten working days, except as provided in clause (ii) of this subparagraph.

• (ii) With respect to a request for which a written notice under clause (i) extends the time limits prescribed under clause (i) of subparagraph (A), the agency shall notify the person making the request if the request cannot be processed within the time limit specified in that clause and shall provide the person an opportunity to limit the scope of the request so that it may be processed within that time limit or an opportunity to arrange with the agency an alternative time frame for processing the request or a modified request. Refusal by the person to reasonably modify the request or arrange such an alternative time frame shall be considered as a factor in determining whether exceptional circumstances exist for purposes of subparagraph (C).

• (iii) As used in this subparagraph, ''unusual circumstances'' means, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to the proper processing of the particular requests - • (I) the need to search for and collect the requested records from field facilities or

other establishments that are separate from the office processing the request; • (II) the need to search for, collect, and appropriately examine a voluminous amount

of separate and distinct records which are demanded in a single request; or • (III) the need for consultation, which shall be conducted with all practicable speed,

with another agency having a substantial interest in the determination of the request or among two or more components of the agency having substantial subject-matter interest therein.

• (iv) Each agency may promulgate regulations, pursuant to notice and receipt of public comment, providing for the aggregation of certain requests by the same requestor, or by a group of requestors acting in concert, if the agency reasonably believes that such requests actually constitute a single request, which would otherwise satisfy the unusual circumstances

specified in this subparagraph, and the requests involve clearly related matters. Multiple requests involving unrelated matters shall not be aggregated.

• (C) • (i) Any person making a request to any agency for records under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of

this subsection shall be deemed to have exhausted his administrative remedies with respect to such request if the agency fails to comply with the applicable time limit provisions of this paragraph. If the Government can show exceptional circumstances exist and that the agency is exercising due diligence in responding to the request, the court may retain jurisdiction and allow the agency additional time to complete its review of the records. Upon any determination by an agency to comply with a request for records, the records shall be made promptly available to such person making such request. Any notification of denial of any request for records under this subsection shall set forth the names and titles or positions of each person responsible for the denial of such request.

• (ii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ''exceptional circumstances'' does not include a delay that results from a predictable agency workload of requests under this section, unless the agency demonstrates reasonable progress in reducing its backlog of pending requests.

• (iii) Refusal by a person to reasonably modify the scope of a request or arrange an alternative time frame for processing a request (or a modified request) under clause (ii) after being given an opportunity to do so by the agency to whom the person made the request shall be considered as a factor in determining whether exceptional circumstances exist for purposes of this subparagraph.

• (D) • (i) Each agency may promulgate regulations, pursuant to notice and receipt of public

comment, providing for multitrack processing of requests for records based on the amount of work or time (or both) involved in processing requests.

• (ii) Regulations under this subparagraph may provide a person making a request that does not qualify for the fastest multitrack processing an opportunity to limit the scope of the request in order to qualify for faster processing.

• (iii) This subparagraph shall not be considered to affect the requirement under subparagraph (C) to exercise due diligence.

• (E) • (i) Each agency shall promulgate regulations, pursuant to notice and receipt of public

comment, providing for expedited processing of requests for records - • (I) in cases in which the person requesting the records demonstrates a compelling

need; and • (II) in other cases determined by the agency.

• (ii) Notwithstanding clause (i), regulations under this subparagraph must ensure - • (I) that a determination of whether to provide expedited processing shall be made,

and notice of the determination shall be provided to the person making the request, within 10 days after the date of the request; and

• (II) expeditious consideration of administrative appeals of such determinations of whether to provide expedited processing.

• (iii) An agency shall process as soon as practicable any request for records to which the agency has granted expedited processing under this subparagraph. Agency action to deny or affirm denial of a request for expedited processing pursuant to this subparagraph, and failure by an agency to respond in a timely manner to such a request shall be subject to judicial review under paragraph (4), except that the judicial review shall be based on the record before the agency at the time of the determination.

• (iv) A district court of the United States shall not have jurisdiction to review an agency denial of expedited processing of a request for records after the agency has provided a complete response to the request.

• (v) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ''compelling need'' means - • (I) that a failure to obtain requested records on an expedited basis under this

paragraph could reasonably be expected to pose an imminent threat to the life or physical safety of an individual; or

• (II) with respect to a request made by a person primarily engaged in disseminating information, urgency to inform the public concerning actual or alleged Federal Government activity.

• (vi) A demonstration of a compelling need by a person making a request for expedited processing shall be made by a statement certified by such person to be true and correct to the best of such person's knowledge and belief.

• (F) In denying a request for records, in whole or in part, an agency shall make a reasonable effort to estimate the volume of any requested matter the provision of which is denied, and shall provide any such estimate to the person making the request, unless providing such estimate would harm an interest protected by the exemption in subsection (b) pursuant to which the denial is made. • (b) This section does not apply to matters that are -

• (1) • (A) specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive order to be

kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and (B) are in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive order;

• (2) related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of an agency; • (3) specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (other than section 552b of this

• (4) trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential;

• (5) inter-agency or intra-agency memorandums or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency;

APPENDIX H COLLECTIONS POLICY

Account Collection Procedures Introduction

The City Council has directed the Community and Housing Support Department (CHS) to regularly service all loans for the CDBG and HOME programs. All programs relating to home repairs, home reconstruction and new construction require that up to 50% of the work be paid back through 2% interest loans. The Emergency Repair program allows for all costs up to $5,000 to be granted and loans are only written for amounts exceeding $5,000. The Homebuyers Assistance Program (HAP) provides up to $12,000 in the form of a no payment, 2% interest loan, with the stipulation that the homeowner live in the home for five (5) years. All loans are secured by lien on the property. The goals of the Community and Housing Support Programs are to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing and to provide homeownership opportunities to low and moderate income families and individuals, not to repossess homes. Therefore, a reasonable effort will be made to work-out a payment arrangement plan to keep the homeowners in their homes. However, with the servicing of loans comes the responsibility of collecting delinquencies & defaulted loans. This procedure outlines the collection steps for all loans for home repairs, home rehabilitation, reconstruction, new construction and homebuyer’s assistance program in delinquent or default status.

Collection Procedure for Home Repairs, Reconstruction and New Home Loans

Initial Monthly Billing: Each client will be mailed a monthly statement that reflects the amount due, monthly payment required and the due date. All loan payments are required to be received by the 15th of each month or a late fee of $5.00 is incurred. Note: Monthly statements are not sent for the HAP no-payment, 2% interest loans.

Account Review: CDBG and HOME Program Loans will be reviewed monthly for

payments received. Any account in which a payment has not been received by the 15th of each month will be sent a Reminder Notice. Homebuyers Assistance Loans (no payment, 2% interest) will be reviewed annually to ensure that the home is the primary residence of the client.

30 Day Reminder Notices: Reminder Notices by the Community and Housing Support Department

will be mailed at thirty (30) day intervals. See Attachment 1. 60 Day Reminder Notices: A second Reminder Notice by the Community and Housing Support

Department will be mailed at sixty (60) days. The reminder will state that the account is approaching default status and encourage the client to contact the department to make payment arrangements in order to avoid more serious collection efforts up to and including foreclosure and eviction. See Attachment 2.

Payment Arrangements: The goal of the CHS Department will be to assist the customer on

getting current on their loan by offering to make suitable payment

arrangements for past due amounts (including late fees) on all accounts that are thirty (30) to ninety (90) days in arrears.

1. Extensions to the due dates may be granted but generally

should not exceed the next billing cycle. 2. The CHS Department shall not entertain more than three

requests for extensions within a one-year period. In the event that circumstances warrant a revision to the monthly payment date of the note, client shall be responsible for making amending the monthly payment date subject to the approval of the CHS Department.

3. When an account is ninety (90) days delinquent, the client’s

may be required to have their debit-to-income reassessed by CHS staff and/or Consumer Credit Counseling.

A. If the client has a surplus in their household budget, based on

the debt-to-income analysis, payment arrangements on the past due amount, may not exceed the surplus. See attachment 3.

B. If the client does not have a surplus and/or is unwilling to

establish suitable payment arrangements, the account will be forwarded to the City Council to terminate the loan and to the Legal Department to begin foreclosure/eviction.

4. Clients that do not keep their revised payment arrangements

will have their accounts forwarded to City’s Legal Department to initiate legal action, including, but not limited to, foreclosure and/or eviction.

5. If a client fails to make an appointment relating to the

reassessment of their debit/income or call to reschedule the appointment, the case will be forwarded to City’s Legal Department to initiate legal action, including, but not limited to, foreclosure and/or eviction.

6. Once an account has exceeded 90 days and been forwarded to

the Legal Department to begin foreclosure, CHS Department will not be able to negotiate directly with the client regarding any arrangements.

Account Default Notice: An Account Default Notice will be sent via certified mail, by the

Community and Housing Support Department at ninety (90) days informing the client that the account has been classified as being in default under the terms of the loan and demand immediate full payment on the past due amount or that payment arrangements agreeable to the Department must be established within thirty (30) days. The letter will also state that this is the final attempt to assist the client in avoiding the account being forwarded to the City’s legal department to begin foreclosure and eviction procedures. See Attachment 4.

Legal Department Request: In the event a client does not respond to the Account Default Notice

through immediate payment of the delinquency, or by making suitable payment arrangements as set forth above, the Community and Housing Support will request the Legal Department to begin foreclosure and eviction

Initiation of Termination: In the event that the client does not make formal payment arrangements or pay the delinquent balance in full, the Legal and Community Department Departments will present the City Council with a resolution of adoption of termination proceedings against the client. Upon passing of the resolution to terminate, the Legal Department will begin the legal process of foreclosure and eviction. See Attachment 5.

Legal Termination: The Legal Department will follow the necessary and proper legal

procedures for foreclosure and eviction of the client.

NOTE: The Director, Neighborhood and Family Services will review each case prior to forwarding to the Legal Department and will use discretion to ensure hardship on the families is kept to a minimum. Procedures for Property Ownership Transfers

All Homebuyers Assistance Program no-payment, no-interest loans, CHDO constructed homes and CHS’s home constructed or rehabilitated with HOME funds require that the homeowner maintain the home as their primary place of residence for term of the contract. Normally, this affordability period is from five (5) years to fifteen (15) years depending on the level of assistance provided. The CHS and CHDO staff is required by HUD to verify residency on these loans annually until the affordability period expires. In addition, all accounts (CDBG & HOME) in default status should be reviewed to ensure ownership has not changed without the lien being satisfied. If the ownership at any time during the affordability period has changed, the CHS department will pursue payment as outlined below.

Annual Ownership Verification Steps: 1. Annually, all HOME funded loans will be verified by comparing the name(s) on the loan documents to

the name(s) listed on the Tom Green County Tax Appraisal District website http://www.tomgreencad.com. If the name (s) matches the loan documents and Deed of Trust on file, no further action is required and a copy of the webpage will be placed in the case file.

2. If the name on the account does not

match the Tom Green County Tax Appraisal District website, current ownership will be verified by sending a written request to the Water Utility Billing Department for verification and/or a title search requested from a local title company.

3. Upon receipt of the verification and/or title search a certified letter will be sent to the current owner stating that the City of San Angelo holds a lien on the property that was not cleared before the property was transferred, request that they contact the Community and Housing Support department and inform them a formal request is being forwarded to Legal Department to pursue collection. See Attachment 6

4. If the client does not respond to the certified letter informing them of the lien on the property, CHS

will complete a request for Legal Services to foreclose on the property and forward it to the Legal Department along with copies of the original Deed of Trust, Loan Documents, Account Ledger, Tom Green County Tax Appraisal District verification and Title Search.

5. Should the new owner of the property pay off the lien, the CHS Department will prepare a formal

Release of Lien, have it recorded at the Tom Green County Court House, place a copy in the case file and mail the original to the property owner.

6. In the event that the client does not make formal payment arrangements or pay the lien in full, the

Legal and Community Department Departments may present the City Council with a resolution of adoption of termination proceedings against the client. Upon passing of a resolution to terminate, the

http://www.tomgreencad.com/�

Legal Department will begin the legal process of foreclosure and eviction.

APPENDIX I MONITORING PLAN

It is incumbent upon the City to require compliance with all applicable federal requirements and to assure the appropriate expenditure of funds. To ensure accountability for public funds and timely progress toward Consolidated Plan goals, the City of San Angelo employs and will continue to utilize a comprehensive monitoring plan. To assure adequate quality control and to demonstrate compliance with the applicable federal rules, the essential aspects of this monitoring plan include both quantitative and qualitative elements as follows: � the establishment and clear communication of performance standards and goals through the

Annual Action Plan and Subrecipient Agreements; � consistent maintenance of accurate and complete records by both the Department and

Subrecipients; � verification of accountability throughout term of contract and documentation of same by

monitoring and preparing a written report concerning each request for reimbursement, which will be shared with the respective Subrecipient;

� frequent communication with Subrecipients through written correspondence, telephone conversations, and meetings as appropriate;

� provision of technical assistance for assurance of compliance with federal regulations and contract requirements; and

� on-site monitoring visits as needed and documentation regarding same, which will be shared with the respective Subrecipient.

These activities are within the Community and Housing Support Department’s staff capabilities, time, and financial capacity and will provide a reasonable and accurate test for program and contract compliance. Compliance monitoring will occur on both projects implemented directly by the City and those operated by Subrecipients. For example, all housing rehabilitation activities must meet the Housing Quality Standards prescribed by HUD and the City’s applicable minimum code requirements. The Housing Rehabilitation Program Administrator will conduct periodic interim inspections and final inspections to verify correct methods and materials as well as quality workmanship and timely completion of the specified work. All rehabilitation projects will include a quality control interview to ascertain owner satisfaction. Monitoring will also include an assessment of whether the owners are maintaining their residences in an acceptable condition, taking into account their ability to do so. Ultimately, the nature of each Subrecipient project will determine the exact scope and method of monitoring activities for that project undertaken by the City. All Subrecipients receiving grant funding from the City Council to implement certain Consolidated Plan activities and goals will be required to enter a written funding agreement with the City. The agreement will define the responsibilities and scope of work related to each project or program. Each contract will provide for correction of deficiencies or continued non-compliance with requirements of the contract. All contractors will be required to carry the minimum levels of insurance prescribed by the City and Certificates of Insurance must be provided before the project can be started. On-site monitoring of each Subrecipient will occur as needed to ensure compliance, maintenance of adequate and accurate records, and proper use of funds. Subrecipients will be required to develop a system to verify client eligibility as well as a system for maintaining grant-funded project files. Subrecipients will be required to provide periodic reports supplying pertinent program information, which will be reviewed for compliance with contract terms and federal regulations. Technical assistance will be provided to each contractor and Subrecipient as appropriate to achieve compliance with the monitoring plan requirements. PUBLIC SERVICES 1. Site visits of CDBG Subrecipients occurs as follows:

• Conducted by CDBG Program Administrator and other staff members as needed

• Meeting with CDBG recipient on site to review contract compliance, program and agency management • Reviewing clients’ files to ensure recipient’s compliance with HUD income eligibility requirements • Reviewing recipient’s capacity in collecting and reporting “client’s demographic data” as mandated per

HUD guidelines; and providing technical assistance as needed • Reviewing the “proposed” number of unduplicated clients to be served by the program against the “actual”

number reported by Subrecipients; and discussing the need to reassess these figures where discrepancies and/or inconsistencies are identified

• Reviewing recipient’s “performance measure” process and providing technical assistance as needed • Identifying and addressing areas of concerns in order to ensure recipient’s compliance with all of HUD

mandated rules/regulations • Observing program/s where applicable; and visiting facilities (for new recipient/program) • The CDBG Project Administrator prepares a final monitoring report that synthesizes the information

gathered during the site visit; and forwards a copy of the report to each CDBG Subrecipient. The report includes a “Monitors’ Result/Summary” section that summarizes the monitor’s assessment of the site visit and identifies any issues/concerns to be addressed by each recipient, with the assistance of the monitor if necessary

2. Financial monitoring of CDBG Subrecipients occurs as follows:

• Reviewing CDBG Subrecipient’s monthly/quarterly invoices and supporting documentation to ensure that all costs correspond to project services as outlined in recipient’s contract budget; and conducting random review of invoices during site visits where applicable

• Collecting and submitting to City Auditor for reviewing the following recipient’s documentation o Its most recent audited financial statements, together with all related reports on internal controls

and compliance and Management Letter if applicable 3. Ongoing review of monthly and annual reports submitted by CDBG Subrecipients

• Monthly Reports o At the end of each month, CDBG Subrecipients submit a report indicating the “total number of

unduplicated clients served” during this period by their CDBG-supported programs, as well as the corresponding clients’ demographic data as mandated per HUD guidelines

• Follow-up o Upon review of the reports Subrecipients are contacted to clarify any discrepancies and/or

incomplete data identified on their reports, if applicable • At the end of the contract year, the CHS staff compiles all the client demographic data reported by the

CDBG Subrecipients; and prepares a comprehensive clients’ statistical report that becomes part of CAPERS (a mandated yearly HUD report)

HOUSING

The City of San Angelo intends to use the existing housing delivery system to achieve its production and service goals. While this will include managing some in-house programs, many programs and services will be contracted out to sub-grantees such as Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). For specific development projects, funds will be allocated to eligible projects on a competitive basis. The City monitors housing rehabilitation, new construction, and tenant-based rental assistance activity and all other Community and Housing Support activity carried out by sub-recipients on an annual monitoring schedule created to ensure strict compliance with applicable HUD laws, regulations and program guidelines. The monitoring process also includes an ongoing review of production levels as benchmarked in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. On a regular basis, the City reviews applications for specific project funding, reviewing all available funds against the needs of projects in the pipeline. This is in addition to reviewing project feasibility, providing technical assistance, and monitoring the progress of projects under construction on an on-going basis. On a monthly basis, the City reviews all sub-grantee operating expenses by examining bills and supporting documentation for monthly program expenditures, including administrative and construction costs.

The City comprehensively reviews Subrecipient/Sub-grantee performance levels; reviews overall performance against goals, as well as analyze consolidated budget statements. Annually, the City conducts regular ongoing site visits as well as program and tenant file monitoring of the Home Neighborhood Revitalization Programs that include Homebuyers Assistance Program (HAP), Home Ownership Program, Tenant-based Rental Assistance, and CHDO housing program to ensure compliance with program goals and federal regulations. Property inspections are built into our service delivery system and are conducted as prescribed by HUD. Properties are closely monitored beginning at the time funds are committed to the completion of construction or rehabilitation, with monitoring that follow in subsequent years. Pre-Inspection: Once a client is eligible for assistance, a pre-inspection of the residential structure will be conducted for:

• Emergency repair • Rehabilitation • Homebuyers assistance (HAP) • Tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA)

Pre-inspection is necessary to access the level of rehab assistance required and to confirm problems reported by client in the case of rehab and emergency repair activity. Pre-inspection is also necessary to ensure homebuyer and TBRA dwelling meet minimum Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and are acceptable candidates for both HAP and TBRA programs. HUD form HUD-52580 is used for determining suitability for HAP & TBRA programs. For rehab, a local CHS Construction Inspection form will be used to assess required assistance. For emergency repairs, a visual inspection accompanied by photo records will be conducted. Final Inspection: A final inspection is conducted to ensure all work identified in the specifications are competed for rehab, reconstruction, and new construction. The CHS Construction Inspection form will be used for the final inspection in these cases. For emergency repairs, only a visual and photo record are conducted to ensure completion of work. In addition, the HUD-52580 form will be used for all complete rehabs, reconstructions, and new construction to ensure HQS are met. One-year Housing Quality Standards Inspection: For CDBG rehabs, reconstructions, and new home construction a one-time HQS inspection will be conducted by the Housing Rehab Program Administrator at the one year anniversary of project completion to ensure all items under warranty are in compliance to local codes and quality standards. Contractors will be required to remedy findings by the Inspector per contract specifications. Affordability Periods: Annually, the HOME Program Administrator and Housing Rehab Program Administrator conduct inspections on HOME and CDBG funded units to include CHDO built units to ensure compliance to the affordability period as stated in the legal documents. This will be accomplished by the following: 1. Check the current water bill with the Water Billing Department to ensure the client is still the main recipient at the appropriate address 2. Check with the Tom Green County Appraisal District to ensure name on tax roles has not changed 3. If the name listed in either the water bill or tax role does not match original client’s name, a title search will be conducted followed by a site visit. 4. If non-compliance to the affordability period is discovered, action to recapture funds will be taken.

APPENDIX J ANNUAL INCOME CALCULATION GUIDELINES

PURPOSE. To provide guidance on the calculation of household or family income for purposes of determining eligibility of potential CDBG program beneficiaries in order to meet the requirement of serving Low to Moderate Income (LMI) households or families. BACKGROUND. Subpart F of Part 5 consolidates the requirements pertaining to income for many of HUD’s programs, including Section 8 and the Community and Housing Support Block Grant Program. DISCUSSION. 1. What income group households are eligible for CDBG assistance? Beneficiaries of CDBG assistance must be within the “Targeted Income Group”. The Targeted Income Group

(TIG) is those households earning less than 80% of the median income for a family of similar size. Median incomes are calculated by HUD annually for each county and vary throughout the state. CHS provides a copy of these “Annual Income Limits" to all eligible Subrecipients. Subrecipients are required to use the most current median income limits when qualifying applicants.

2. For what time period must household income be calculated? Household income eligibility must be based on the “annual income” definition for “adjusted income” which is

defined at 24 CFR Subpart D §570.3 as follows: “Adjusted gross income defined for purposes of reporting under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1040 for

individual Federal annual income tax purposes.” Estimate the annual income for a family or household by projecting the prevailing rate of income of each

person at the time assistance is provided for the individual, family, or household (as applicable). Estimated annual income shall include income from all family or household members, as applicable. Income or asset enhancement derived from the CDBG-assisted activity shall not be considered in calculating estimated annual income.

3. What 12-month period should be used to determine CDBG eligibility? Based on the above definition of "annual income," Subrecipients should do the following and use the online

HUD Income Calculator or provided Excel spreadsheet: a. Start with the present and calculate for the next 12 months. Use current circumstances to anticipate

income for the next 12 months, unless verification forms indicate an imminent change. For employed applicants and family/household members who did not file a 1040 (did not work last year), a minimum of three (3) consecutive pay stubs are required plus a 3rd party verification must be completed. Convert all income (weekly, monthly, etc.) to an annual figure to complete income eligibility calculations. This may be done by annualizing current income or averaging known sources of income that vary to compute an annual income.

b. Permanently employed applicants. For all full-time permanently employed applicants, regardless of the length of time employed at the time of application for assistance, the income must be evaluated based on what the earnings are on an annual basis. This means that grantees should not count just what the applicant has earned so far in the year, but what the applicant's income is projected to be over the next 12 months. This will be achieved by submitting the most recent year’s 1040 Form which was prepared by an established tax preparation service. If the family member does not

have this form, it may be requested by calling 1-800-829-1040, or by mailing or faxing the IRS Form 4506-T.

c. Applicants with special circumstances (e.g., guaranteed imminent layoff, seasonal or part-time employment). The grantee shall take those factors into consideration when calculating what the earnings would be on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the special circumstances, income for all applicants shall be calculated on an annual basis, not on the basis of what may have been earned so far in a given year at the time of application for assistance. For employed applicants and family/household members who did not file a 1040 (did not work last year), a minimum of three (3) consecutive pay stubs are required plus a 3rd party verification must be completed.

4. What must be included as income and what may be excluded? Paragraphs b. and c. of the attached Part 5 income regulations contain detailed lists of what should be included

in annual income and what may be excluded. These would be used if the 1040 is not available. 5. Who are the applicants and should grantees calculate "household" or "family" income? Use Household income for activities that benefit the occupants of a housing unit, such as in housing

rehabilitation, housing new construction, and public works projects that benefit specific housing units. When "household" is used as the basis for the calculation, "household" means "all the persons who occupy a

housing unit. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any group of related or unrelated persons who share living arrangements" (24 CFR 570.3). Therefore, the income of all persons residing in the residence must be included. This means Subrecipients must include the income from unrelated household members (e.g., a roommate of the applicant, someone who may be renting a room in the residence from the CDBG applicant, etc.) and persons who are living in the residence more than half time.

Use Family income for activities where a family rather than a specific housing unit is the main beneficiary,

such as in economic development/job creation activities, community facilities and public services that benefit individuals.

When "family" is used as the basis for the calculation, "family" means "all persons living in the same household

who are related by birth, marriage or adoption" (24 CFR Part 570.3.) [Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 24, Volume 1] [Revised as of April 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 24CFR5.609] [Page 80-82]

Expenditures for amortization of capital indebtedness shall not be used as deductions in determining net income. An allowance for depreciation is permitted only as authorized in paragraph (b)(2) of this section. Any withdrawal of cash or assets from an investment will be included in income, except to the extent the withdrawal is reimbursement of cash or assets invested by the family. Where the family has net family assets in excess of $5,000, annual income shall include the greater of the actual income derived from all net family assets or a percentage of the value of such assets based on the current passbook savings rate, as determined by HUD (currently 2%); (4) The full amount of periodic amounts received from Social Security, annuities, insurance policies, retirement funds, pensions, disability or death benefits, and other similar types of periodic receipts, including a lump-sum amount or prospective monthly amounts for the delayed start of a periodic amount (except as provided in paragraph (c)(14) of this section); (5) Payments in lieu of earnings, such as unemployment and disability compensation, worker's compensation and severance pay (except as provided in paragraph (c)(3) of this section); (6) Welfare assistance payments. (i) Welfare assistance payments made under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program are included in annual income only to the extent such payments: (A) Qualify as assistance under the TANF program definition at 45 CFR 260.31; and (B) Are not otherwise excluded under paragraph (c) of this section. (ii) If the welfare assistance payment includes an amount specifically designated for shelter and utilities that is subject to adjustment by the welfare assistance agency in accordance with the actual cost of shelter and utilities, the amount of welfare assistance income to be included as income shall consist of: [[Page 81]] (A) The amount of the allowance or grant exclusive of the amount specifically designated for shelter or utilities; plus (B) The maximum amount that the welfare assistance agency could in fact allow the family for shelter and utilities. If the family's welfare assistance is ratably reduced from the standard of need by applying a percentage, the amount calculated under this paragraph shall be the amount resulting from one application of the percentage. (7) Periodic and determinable allowances, such as alimony and child support payments, and regular contributions or gifts received from organizations or from persons not residing in the dwelling; (8) All regular pay, special pay and allowances of a member of the Armed Forces (except as provided in paragraph (c)(7) of this section). (c) Annual income does not include the following: (1) Income from employment of children (including foster children) under the age of 18 years; (2) Payments received for the care of foster children or foster adults (usually persons with disabilities, unrelated to the tenant family, who are unable to live alone); (3) Lump-sum additions to family assets, such as inheritances, insurance payments (including payments under health and accident insurance and worker's compensation), capital gains and settlement for personal or property losses (except as provided in paragraph (b)(5) of this section); (4) Amounts received by the family that are specifically for, or in reimbursement of, the cost of medical expenses for any family member;

A resident service stipend is a modest amount (not to exceed $200 per month) received by a resident for performing a service for the PHA or owner, on a part-time basis, that enhances the quality of life in the development. Such services may include, but are not limited to, fire patrol, hall monitoring, lawn maintenance, resident initiatives coordination, and serving as a member of the PHA's governing board. No resident may receive more than one such stipend during the same period of time; (v) Incremental earnings and benefits resulting to any family member from participation in qualifying State or local employment training programs (including training programs not affiliated with a local government) and training of a family member as resident management staff. Amounts excluded by this provision must be received under employment training programs with clearly defined goals and objectives, and are excluded only for the period during which the family member participates in the employment training program; (9) Temporary, nonrecurring or sporadic income (including gifts); (10) Reparation payments paid by a foreign government pursuant to claims filed under the laws of that government by persons who were persecuted during the Nazi era; (11) Earnings in excess of $480 for each full-time student 18 years old or older (excluding the head of household and spouse); (12) Adoption assistance payments in excess of $480 per adopted child; (13) [Reserved] (14) Deferred periodic amounts from supplemental security income and social security benefits that are received [[Page 82]] in a lump sum amount or in prospective monthly amounts.

A notice will be published in the Federal Register and distributed to PHAs and housing owners identifying the benefits that qualify for this exclusion. Updates will be published and distributed when necessary. (d) Annualization of income. If it is not feasible to anticipate a level of income over a 12-month period (e.g., seasonal or cyclic income), or the PHA believes that past income is the best available indicator of expected future income, the PHA may annualize the income anticipated for a shorter period, subject to a redetermination at the end of the shorter period.

City of San Angelo


To: City Council members


Subject: Request for permission to allow placement of free-standing sign in

the public right-of-way on the following property:

Location: 37 E. Harris Avenue, Catholic Church Block, Lots 10-14 in

Downtown San Angelo

Purpose: City Council’s permission will allow a sign to be permitted in the

public right-of-way

Contacts: Basil Jordan 653-1118

Jeff Hintz, Planner 325-657-4210 AJ Fawver, Planning Manager 325-657-4210


Approve the request to place signage in the public right-of-way; or Deny the request to place signage in the public right-of-way.

Recommendation: City staff recommends denying the placement of the proposed

signage in the right-of-way.


General Information

In May of 2011 Basil Jordan, at the request of First Baptist Church, inquired with the Planning Division about placing a sign within the public right-of-way. City staff worked with Mr. Jordan to see if there were any provisions or ordinances which would allow placement of said signage. At that point, it was also determined that a planter present at the subject property also encroaches upon the public right-of-way. Neither the city nor the proponent could produce documentation as to how this planter was allowed placement within the right-of-way. Chapter 12, Section 12.617.1.E of the City of San Angelo’s Code of Ordinances strictly prohibits placing signs within the public right-of-way without the express permission of the City Council.

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: Potential conflicts between pedestrians and motorists may happen when signage is placed in the public right-of-way; views could be potentially blocked and accidents between pedestrians and vehicles could occur as a result.

Past Cases: In July of 2007, the Planning Commission denied

a request for signage that would encroach upon the right of way by a vote of 5 to 1 in SV 07-02.

Analysis:

The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. In addition the prohibition in our city ordinance, signs placed within the public rights-of-way could potentially place the city and citizens of San Angelo at risk. Signage within publicly-dedicated land presents a visibility issue for both pedestrians and motorists. Both groups should have clear lines of sight, so that each may proceed safely without a collision. In addition, if the proposed signage were to become unlodged from its pole or bracket, the city would be potentially liable for any personal injury that occurred as a result. The Tort Claims Act leaves the sign owner liable for any property damage that may be incurred from any accidents regarding the signage. However, the risk of personal injury and potential lawsuit alone should be enough of a liability to deny the request to place signage within the public right-of-way. It should also be noted, that the planter and plantings do encroach upon the public right-of-way and that any personal injury incurred from the placement of said planter could also leave the City of San Angelo potentially liable for any personal injury that occurs because of it.

There are other locations that this proposed signage could be placed on the building at this location. The campus feeling of the First Baptist Church fits well within the downtown of San Angelo, and staff believes that signage directing citizens to the various buildings is helpful. However, the other signage present on the various properties is placed legally and lies outside the public rights-of-way. Staff feels that additional signage should be placed where it is legally allowed, just like the other signage for the church facilities, and like signage for all private citizens and ownership groups throughout the city.

City of San Angelo

Memo Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 20, 2011



Subject: City of San Angelo, a request for approval of an abandonment of

Right-of-Way on the following property:

Location: City Hall Plaza and adjacent areas, in downtown San Angelo

Contacts: David Knapp 657-4279

Jeff Hintz, Planner 325-657-4210

Caption: First Public Hearing and consideration of introduction of an Ordinance

authorizing abandonment of public right-of-way around City Hall in downtown San Angelo,

AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ABANDONMENT AND

CLOSING OF THE FOLLOWING STREET SEGMENT, TO WIT: A 201’

x 20’ alley segment extending NE from Farr Street,

approximately 106’ NE from the intersection of Farr Street

and West 1st Street; 199’ x 32’ strip of property immediately

adjacent to and south of West 2nd

Street, beginning at the SE

corner of the intersection of West 2nd

& Farr Streets, and

extending NE; A 80’ x 218’ tract of property between the

eastern and western segments of City Hall Plaza with West

1st

Street and south of the intersection of North Irving and West 1st

Streets, and including a 236’ segment of West 1st Street and an 83’

segment of City Hall Plaza; A 32’ x 215’ segment of City Hall

Plaza, extending north from its intersection with West

College Avenue, immediately east of City Hall; A 29’ x 70’

segment of Irving Street extending north from its intersection with

West 1st Street, immediately north of City Hall; A 36’ x 93’

segment of West 1st

Street, extending west from its intersection

with Gillis Street, immediately north of City Hall; A 101’ x 56’ tract

of property between the western segment of City Hall Plaza and

Gillis Street in downtown San Angelo; AUTHORIZING THE

CONVEYANCE THEREOF TO THE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS; PROVIDING FOR THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ABANDONMENT AND CONVEYANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER A QUIT CLAIM DEED TO THE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS


(1) Approve the proposed abandonment;

(2) Modify the abandonment conditions to those believed to be more appropriate; or (3) Deny the proposed abandonment.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving the proposed abandonment,

subject to conditions outlined in this staff report.


When the City Hall renovation, parking reconfiguration, and restoration began to take place, the Planning Division noted that the proposed site plan for the addition to the basement portion of the building would require areas of the right-of-way to abandoned. During the research process, staff determined that there were portions of City facilities and parking located within rights-of-way and were unable to find property documents providing for this. In order to take care of all discrepancies and better organize the City Hall property, portions of rights-of-way need to be abandoned, just as if any other private property owner were in this situation. A portion of City Hall currently sits within right-of-way for West 1st Street, an existing alley is utilized for a dedicated drive-thru lane, parking exists in areas not considered part of the property, and the unification of this area in more of a ‘campus’ configuration is desired and has long been part of the Comprehensive Plan for the city. To accommodate parking for the newly designed City facilities, portions of North Irving Street, West 1st Street, and City Hall Plaza are proposed for abandonment.

General Information

Existing Zoning: Central Business District (CBD) Existing Land Use: City Hall, Permits Offices, Old Library, and

Parking Areas

Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: RM-1 Salvation Army

West: RM-1 City Employee Health Clinic

South: CBD Church East: CG/CH & RM-1 Commercial property and residences

Conformance with Thoroughfare Plan: Streets around City Hall are defined as “local streets.”

Development Standards: N/A Storm Water/Drainage: N/A Topography: Abandonment of the rights-of-way are not

expected to generate any elevation problems or issues.

Water/Sewer Utilities: Abandonment of the rights-of-way is not expected

to create any problems or issues for water or utility service.

Fire Protection: Open Areas around the building will allow for fire

apparatus equipment to locate around all sides of the building.

Access Management: N/A Notification Required?: Yes Notifications Sent: 24


Special Information

Private Utilities: Allow access for open and unobstructed

easements to maintain utilities in the abandonment area

Traffic Concerns: Traffic patterns in the area will certainly be altered and

changed if the proposed abandonment is approved. The majority of the area is intended to remain unobstructed by buildings, but will be used primarily for parking areas and internal drives. This will certainly allow for cars to pass through the site, but the parking lot should not be substituted as a way through for motorists in the area.

Through traffic in the area will be directed towards 2nd Street to the north or College Avenue to the south for east-west travel via Gillis Street. The western portion of City Hall Plaza will remain open and will likely see an increase in traffic volume due to the closure of West 1st Street. The portion of North Irving Street to the north of City Hall begins at West 2nd Street and motorists are forced to go right or left at the intersection of North Irving and West 1st Street anyhow; this abandonment should not greatly affect traffic patterns in the area more than what currently exists at the present time. The T-shaped intersection of western City Hall Plaza and West 1st Street is, at times, hazardous for pedestrians and motorists alike. If anything, abandonment of this segment of West 1st Street will make this area safer for all who use it. Instead of a three-way intersection, a two-way intersection will be formed with clear visibility for travelers on West 1st Street and western City Hall Plaza.

Proposed Conditions

1. Reservation of an easement for installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of utilities, which, said easement shall:

a. extend over the entire length and width of areas C, E, and F, which are otherwise

abandoned rights-of-way; and

b. remain open and unobstructed.

approve placement of this proposed attached sign, as presented;

approve the placement of this proposed attached sign, with conditions deemed necessary to ensure the ability of neighboring businesses to be seen; or

deny placement of this proposed attached sign altogether.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving the proposed attached sign.


General Information

Existing Zoning: Central Business District (CBD) Existing Land Use: Vacant commercial property Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: CBD Chester Donner Jewelers West: CBD Parking Lot South: CBD The Glass Prism, Halloween Store East: CBD Vacant GTE Parking

Thoroughfares/Streets: Concho Avenue is classified as a “parkway”

street, which acts as a type of scenic street designed to funnel lighter traffic from “local” streets to the larger thoroughfares. Chadbourne Street is classified as an “arterial” street, designed to carry heavier traffic quickly between various destinations within the city.

Zoning History: Prior to 2000, this lot was zoned C-3, which

transitioned into CBD with the 2000 Zoning Ordinance.

Applicable Regulations: Sign Ordinance Section 12.604(b)(2)(C)(iv) “Any projecting sign larger than sixteen (16)

square feet must be approved by the city council after…to consider whether the proposed placement shall infringe upon neighboring business’ rights to be seen and to consider any other detrimental effect it may have…”

Sign Ordinance Section 12.604(b)(2) “Attached on-site signs shall be allowed on any

building, wall or canopy within any commercial or industrial zoning districts…”

Sign Ordinance Section 12.604(b)(2)(A) “Total aggregate area of…signs attached to a

structure shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the area of the wall on which the sign is attached…”

Sign Ordinance Section 12.604(b)(2)(B) “Projection over the public right-of-way shall be

permitted in the CBD zoning district, provided the leading edge of any sign shall maintain a distance of at least eighteen (18) inches from the curb line or street edge.”

Sign Ordinance Section 12.604 (b)(2)(B) “Any sign which projects into the public right-of-

way shall maintain a minimum height of nine (9) feet from the grade level to the bottom of the sign...”

Special Information

Year Building Constructed: 1969 Historically Overlaid? No River Corridor Area? No River Corridor Sign Area? No Downtown Development District? No

Analysis:

The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. Section 12.604(b)(2)(C)(iv) of the Sign Ordinance requires that the City Council grant permission for placement of any attached sign that is larger than 16 square feet. As this proposed sign is approximately 18 square feet, the applicant has given a written request for permission to place the proposed attached sign. The ordinance does not treat this as a sign variance but only a request for permission from Council. The total area of the face of the building is approximately 1,364 square feet. The 18 square feet of the proposed sign equals 1.32% of the wall on which it is proposed to be attached. This is significantly less than the maximum 25% allowed in Section 12.604(b)(2)(A) of the Sign Ordinance. The proposed attached sign will project over the public right-of-way approximately six feet. Thus, the leading edge of the proposed sign will be approximately eight feet back from the curb and street edge of South Chadbourne Street which is 6 ½ feet greater than the minimum 18 inches required in Section 12.604(b)(2)(B) of the Sign Ordinance. The bottom of the proposed sign attached to the wall will be approximately 20 feet above the public right-of-way. This is much higher than the minimum 9 feet above grade that is required in Section 12.604(b)(2)(B) of the Sign Ordinance. The proposed attached sign is an authentic vintage sign and fits well with the style of the building. Though the building is not historically overlaid, it is within historic downtown and as such contributes to the overall sense of place that the City of San Angelo is striving for in its revitalization efforts.

2011 Property Tax Rates in CITY OF SAN ANGELOThis notice concerns the 2011 property tax rates for CITY OF SAN ANGELO. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.

Last year's tax rate:

Last year's operating taxes $25,442,428

Last year's debt taxes $2,759,857

Last year's total taxes $28,202,285

Last year's tax base $3,449,820,795

Last year's total tax rate $0.81750/$100

This year's effective tax rate:

Last year's adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property)

$27,825,787

÷ This year's adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property)

$2,765,360,753

=This year's effective tax rate $1.00622/$100

This year's rollback tax rate:

Last year's adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures)

$25,076,300

÷ This year's adjusted tax base $2,765,360,753

=This year's effective operating rate $0.90680/$100

x 1.08=this year's maximum operating rate $0.97934/$100

+ This year's debt rate $0.07808/$100

= This year's total rollback rate $1.05742/$100

Statement of Increase/DecreaseIf CITY OF SAN ANGELO adopts a 2011 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $1.00622 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2010 taxes by $4,659,143.

Schedule A - Unencumbered Fund BalanceThe following estimated balances will be left in the unit's property tax accounts at the end of the fiscal year. These balances are not encumbered by a corresponding debt obligation. Type of Property Tax Fund Balance

Consideration of First Public hearing to Introduce an Ordinance Amending Fire Department Staffing Positions

Summary: During the budget presentation we presented a restructuring of some positions. The proposal was to eliminate 2 firefighter positions and the assignment pay for 1 LT. and a Driver. The eliminations will be through attrition by retirement. We expect about 10 retirements this coming year. The assignment pay is eliminated because they return to shift duty.

We will add 2 civilian positions one of them will be an Administrative Asst., Grade 11. Th classified positions are doing a lot of data entry and clerical work instead of performing technical or job related training. This position will relieve the clerical load off of the highe paid classified positions and allow them to do the training they need to do.

The second civilian person will be a supply maintenance person, Grade 13. This will allo the higher cost classified position to return to fire suppression. The civilian won’t have to continually be doing EMS or Fire CE.

Another component to the restructure is the upgrade of 2 drivers to LT. for EMS supervisors. This will help in the reduction of drivers. I have moved the EMS LT. from the training center to start performing some of these duties. We need 2 more so there will be one on each shift. We have been asking for these positions during budget for several years. The money hasn’t been available to pay for these positions. This restructure doesn’t require any new resources and should reduce some liability for the city as we will be doing more quality control that is required by the state.

THIS RESTRUCTURE AND ELIMINATION OF POSITIONS WILL NOT EFFECT ANY CURRENT EMPLOYEES

History: N/A

Financial Impact: Restructure will save $23,568 in pay and benefits.

Discussion of stormwater quality data collected during August 13, 2011 storm event

Summary: This item was requested by Harold Dominguez.

History: As part of its stormwater management program, the City has contracted with the Upper Colorado River Authority (UCRA) to install ten stormwater quality monitoring stations at key points throughout major drainage ways in the City. These stations automatically collect stormwater samples during rainfall events. The UCRA has laboratory analyses performed on collected samples to determine what types and to what extent contaminants exist in different areas of the City’s drainage ways. This data is being logged for entry into the City’s stormwater quality model for determination of the types and locations of stormwater quality improvements projects to be installed in specific locations within the City’s drainage ways to address specific stormwater quality issues.

To date data has been collected and analyzed for approximately 5 rainfall events ranging from very small events of less than one inch of total rainfall to significant events such as the one on August 13.

City of San Angelo Parks & Recreation

Memorandum Date: September 16, 2011


From: Carl White, Parks and Recreation Director

Subject: Agenda Item for August 30, 2011, Council Meeting

Contact: Carl White, Parks and Recreation Director, 657-4450 or 234-1724

Caption: Regular Agenda Item

Discussion and possible action on the consolidation of various City Boards and Commissions – Parks & Recreation Department.

Summary: The Parks & Recreation Department facilitates the following boards and commissions: Park Commission, Recreation Advisory Board, Civic Events Board, Senior Services Advisory Board, Fairmount Cemetery Board, Fort Concho Museum Board and Public Art Commission. Each of the boards or commissions has discussed possible consolidations or modifications. Staff also has recommendations; they are as follows:

· Recreation Advisory Board – The Recreation Advisory Board is an advisory board to the City Council as to matters of policy and to the City Manager and the Recreation Manager as to administrative matters in regard to creating and managing recreation programs for the City.

o Board’s Opinion: The Board supports the creation of a consolidated Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Board members understand that such a consolidation does not assure their continued service.

o Staff’s Recommendation: Staff strongly concurs.

· Park Commission – (from the ordinance passed on August 4, 1913) The general control and supervision of the parks within the City of San Angelo, now or hereafter to be acquired, is hereby rested in said park commission, and all funds set apart for the maintenance, preservation, improvement and extension of said parks, subject to approval of the City Council shall be under control of said commissioners, any two of whom shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of the business of said park commission.

o Commission’s Opinion: The Commission does not want the scope of its oversight to be diminished in any way. Resignations would likely result if this were to occur. Although this is a matter for legal staff and perhaps the courts to determine, the Commission believes the original Santa Fe Park deeds, that created the Park Commission, intended to have the Commission oversee all City parks, not just Santa Fe Park.

o Staff’s Recommendation: Staff does not want to eliminate the

Park Commission but feels strongly about creating a consolidated Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.

· Civic Events Board – The mission of the Civic Events Division is to provide clean, comfortable facilities along with exceptional support to events in City venues. The Civic Events Advisory Board makes recommendations regarding Civic Events Division policy to the San Angelo City Council.

o Board’s Opinion: There have been many discussions about possibly merging the Civic Events and Convention and Visitors Bureau boards. While some CEB and CVB members favor this approach, most do not, noting that while Civic Events and the CVB often partner, they perform two different missions. Those members also note the CVB markets City facilities other than Civic Events venues (Fort Concho, Texas Bank Sports Complex) along with other venues around town (Cactus Hotel, SAMFA, ASU).

o Staff’s Recommendation: Staff agrees the boards should remain separate entities, believing the CEB is a productive, effective body.

· Senior Services Advisory Board – The Senior Services Board is an advisory board to the City Council as to matters of policy and to the City Manager and the Recreation Manager as to administrative matters with regard to creating and managing the Senior Services program for the City.

City of San Angelo


To: Mayor and Council members

From: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager

Subject: Board Consolidation – Planning-related

Contacts: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager 657-4210

Background: At the March 22, 2011 City Council meeting, the City Manager proposed a consolidation of boards and commissions, intended to streamline processes and eliminate redundancies. Staff was directed to bring back recommendations to the Council for consideration at a future time. The original options for the proposal of commissions included the formulation of a “Planning & Design Commission”, or the merging of two design-related commissions, the Historic Preservation & River Corridor Commissions. In preparing a staff recommendation, the following items were taken into account: frequency of meetings, duties, skills, and overlap of areas of oversight.

Frequency of meetings: Historic Preservation Commission – cancelled 9 of 12 meetings in 2009, 5 of 12 in 2010, and 5 of 12 in 2011; River Corridor Commission – cancelled 7 of 12 meetings in 2009, 8 of 12 in 2010, and 4 of 12 in 2011;

Common duties that apply to both:

Architectural standards & oversight, recommendations for design documents, maintain inventory of historic properties, public education of historic properties/environmentally sensitive areas/promotion of downtown, advising the Council on matters of concern in their area(s), encourage & guide development.

Backgrounds that could apply to both:

Architecture, engineering/design, historian, realtor/lender, planning, property owner.

Overlap of areas of oversight:

Both the River Corridor and historic properties are concentrated in the vicinity of downtown.

The recommendation formulated by the staff in the Community & Economic Development Department was to combine the River Corridor and Historic Preservation Commissions into a single design commission. Staff took the matter to these commissions to gather their input as directed by Council.

On April 18th, 2011, the Planning Commission discussed the possibilities. There was no clear consensus; two of the five members in attendance did not express a strong preference either way. Two commissioners indicated a preference to combine the River Corridor and Planning Commissions. One commissioner indicated a preference to combine the River Corridor and Historic Preservation Commissions and leave the Planning Commission on its own.

On April 26, 2011, the item was presented for discussion to the River Corridor

Commission. Of the five members in attendance, the consensus was to combine the River Corridor and Historic Preservation Commissions.

On April 28, 2011, the item was presented for discussion to the Historic Preservation

Commission. Of the four members in attendance, the consensus was to not pursue any combination of any of the aforementioned Commissions and leave them all freestanding.

On August 22, 2011, the item was presented for discussion to the Downtown

Development Commission. Of the seven members in attendance, the consensus was to combine the River Corridor and Historic Preservation Commissions and have them act as a subcommittee of the Downtown Development Commission in downtown matters.

Consideration of adopting a Resolution designating polling places within the election precincts within the City of San Angelo, Texas for elections ordered; providing for pre-clearance and all other necessary actions; and providing for an effective date

Summary: During the 82nd Legislative Session of the Texas Legislature, Senate Bill 100 was introduced to the Texas Senate (and House Bill 111 to the Texas House of Representatives). The bill was passed by the Senate and House and was signed into law by the Governor on June 17, 2011. The purpose of the bill is to adopt voting procedures necessary to implement the federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act) which is aimed at making the voting process easier and faster for military and overseas voters. Among other things, the bill states that counties are no longer required to contract with and provide electronic voting equipment to municipalities and school districts for the May uniform election date in even numbered years. This means that if an election were to be called by the City Council in even numbered years, the County would not have to assist the City as in the past. Senate Bill 100 does not affect the May uniform election date in odd numbered years.

History: August 30, 2011 – staff presented options to City Council. Council recommended to keep the even-numbered election date and directed staff to work with the Elections Administrator to consolidate the polling places within the election precincts.

Financial Impact: $40,000 to $60,000 depending on how many entities participate in the stated election.

Discussion and possible action regarding employee alternate work schedule.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Summary: Discuss the various scenarios available for an alternate work schedule for City staff. History: In July 2009, a committee was formed to review the concept of an alternate work schedule. The discussion was raised by employees who wanted to have the extra day off during the summer months while their children were out of school. The direction given to the committee was that the offices could not shut down for an entire day during the Monday-Friday office hours. The purpose of the City considering an alternate work schedule was to give access to the public for extended hours...not to necessarily give employees an extra day off. This decision prevents any cost savings to the City since the offices are actually open longer hours. No action was brought forward for consideration. There are a number of different possible scenarios for consideration, however the governing premise of making a change must be identified first. Each scenario presents different savings or costs depending on the choice utilized. Financial Impact: Savings vary depending upon which premise is adopted: cost savings measures, improved customer service or employee morale/benefit. (See savings on attached flowchart.) Attachments: Alternate work hours flowchart. Reviewed by Department Director: Lisa Marley, Human Resources Director, Sept 10, 2011.
