All project proposals submitted for funding through the CDBG Program must document the achievement of at least one (1) of the following national objectives: Provide benefit to low and moderate income persons; ➢ Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and ➢ Meet other community development needs having particular urgency or posing a serious or immediate threat to the health or welfare of a community. ANTICIPATED FUNDING: On February 9, 2021, the Indian Nation Council of Governments ( INCOG), provided information regarding the 2021 CDBG application. A completed application, which includes a public hearing, resolution, and cooperation agreement, is due to INCOG no later than April 2, 2021. Owasso is now part of an Urban County and as such does not compete for the funding through the State Department of Commerce. According to INCOG, Owasso will receive an allocation of approximately $148,601.11 for the 2021 CDBG funding cycle, which does not require a local match. PAST CDBG PROJECTS: In the past, Owasso has utilized CDBG monies for sidewalk, sanitary sewer, street, and park improvements. In 2014, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) changed the income limits that determined if individuals and families qualified as a low to moderate income household. As a result, Owasso lost much of its former qualifying area in and around the original town area, leaving only a small area around the Baptist Village neighborhood eligible for funding. Owasso staff performed income surveys for smaller targeted geographic areas in the summer of 2015, qualifying the Hale Acres neighborhood near North Garnett Road and East 116th Street North for a five (5) year period. Since the Hale Acres neighborhood qualified for funding under the revised HUD income limits, the City has utilized CDBG funds from the FY 2016 through FY 2020 allocations for replacement of sanitary sewer lines in this neighborhood. EXPIRATION OF QUALIFIED AREA: Because the five (5) year qualifying period has expired for the Hale Acres neighborhood, it is necessary to requalify the neighborhood in order to continue using CDBG funds in this location. In October 2020, INCOG assisted with this effort by mailing out 175 surveys to Hale Acres residents, of which 150 are needed for a statistically valid survey. This effort resulted in 40 surveys being returned or a 26.66% response rate, far short of the needed 150 surveys, CDBG Page 2 In January 2021, no additional surveys had been received and staff made the decision to send out another round of surveys to Hale Acres residents using City of Owasso letterhead. Additionally, the Owasso Strong Neighborhood Initiative (OSNI) Coordinator, Jerry Fowler, communicated with local neighborhood leaders to help explain the purpose of the survey. Notices of this second survey were placed on Nextdoor and the City's web page. This effort resulted in 87 surveys being returned as of March 2, 2021. On March 6, 2021, staff conducted a door to door survey in the Hale Acres neighborhood in an attempt to collect the remaining surveys. This effort resulted in an additional 57 being collected, which brings the overall total to 146, which is 4 short of the 150 need. During the week of March 7, staff returned to the neighborhood and collected the remaining signatures meeting the minimum number required. Initial calculations of the surveys indicate the low to moderate income threshold has been met with 152 total surveys received of which 46 (32 %) were above the low to moderate income threshold with 146 (68 %) below. PROPOSED 2021 PROJECT: Considering the Hale Acres neighborhood appears to be requalified, the proposed project for the 2021 CDBG funds is the continuation of replacing deteriorated 8" clay tile sanitary sewer pipes. Specifically, this project will replace the existing north -south sewer lines on the south side of East 114th Street North and should represent the last of the sewer line work in the neighborhood. The existing 8" clay pipe would be replaced with approximately 1,800 linear feet (LF) new HDPE 8" inch pipe. The work, considered Phase IV of the Hale Acres sewer improvements, would continue to address many years of inflow and infiltration issues in this area of Owasso's collection system, which was originally installed in the 1960's. The project would be designed in -house by the Engineering Division of Public Works. A map has been provided with this memo indicating the general location of the proposed improvements. Considering the above, staff suggests continuing to utilize the funds for replacement of the sanitary sewer lines in Hale Acres. This sanitary sewer project should be the last of the sewer work in this area, and then stormwater work can begin. PUBLIC HEARING: On March 9, INCOG informed staff that a separate Public Hearing was required. Staff advertised the public meeting to be held Monday, March 15, at 4 PM at Old Central in order to receive citizen input on potential CDBG projects. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2021 -04, requesting assistance from the Tulsa County CDBG Urban County Program, approving an application for the 2021 funding cycle, and authorization to execute all related documents.
