GIBNEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR August 17, 2009 Mr. Derek Deiter President, South Bend Common Council 227. W. Jefferson Blvd., Suite 400 South Bend, IN 46601 Dear President Deiter: The attached bill for Council consideration and approval will appropriate $750,873 in Community Development Block Grant-Recovery (CDBG-R) funds. This action allocates new funds in accordance with the 2008 Action Plan and Amendment of the Housing and Community Development Plan submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development on June 5,2009, and further amended and resubmitted on June 15, 2009. The funds being made available are part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and represent a one time formula allocation to South Bend as an entitlement community. As was indicated in my email to the Council on June 23, 2009 and in my meetings with some Council members, the CDBG-R funds have a slightly different focus than regular CDBG funds. CDBG-R funding is provided as an immediate stimulus to the economy as well as to provide long term improvements. The City received the Grant Agreement on July 22, 2009 and has been notified that the Release of Funds date is August 19, 2009. Grantees will have approximately 36 months to use the funds with all funds being spent no later than September 30, 2012. Should there be any questions on this bill please contact me at 235-5845. I will be present to address this issue at the September 14, 2009 meeting. Thank you. Sinc rel , r amela C.
