He further explained the purpose of the Planning Commission was to provide recommendations to City Council regarding changes to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Updates, Block Grant Allocations and Zoning Code. The Planning Commission is tasked with considering the long-term growth and development of the community, the impact of land use decisions on community, livability, economic opportunity, housing affordability, public services, and the environment. Chair Cochran reminded the audience tonight’s proceedings were being broadcast live on City of Pasco’s Facebook page and on Charter Cable PSC Channel 191 and will be rebroadcast several times during the next month. He stated the meeting was also being recorded and could be watched on City of Pasco’s website, which is Pasco-wa.gov. Click on the VIDEO ON DEMAND link and make your selection there. Chair Cochran stated copies of the meeting agenda were available on the back table. He then asked that everyone silence cell phones to prevent interruptions during the meeting. For those present this evening, when you are given the opportunity to address the Commission, please come to the podium, speak clearly into the microphone, and state your name and city of address for the record. Chair Cochran reminded the audience and the Planning Commission that Washington State Law requires public meetings like the one being held this evening not only be fair, but also appear to be fair. In addition, Washington State Law prohibits Planning Commission members from participating in discussions or decisions in which the member may have a direct interest or may be either benefited or harmed by the Planning Commission’s decision. An objection to any Planning Commission member hearing any matter on tonight’s agenda needs to be aired at this time or it will be waived. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 5 May 16, 2024 Chair Cochran asked if there were any Planning Commission members who have a declaration at this time regarding any of the items on the agenda.  No declarations were heard. Chair Cochran asked if anyone in the audience objected to any Planning Commission member hearing any of the items on the agenda.  Shane O’Neill presented a declaration for Kim Lehrman, Planning Commission member. Commissioner Lehrman explained that her former recusal was due to her campaigning for City Council; now that the election is over and she was not elected, her former recusal is moot. Chair Cochran stated the Planning Commission needed and valued public input explaining it helped the Commission understand the issues more clearly and allowed for better recommendations to City Council. Furthermore, in many cases, this could be the only forum for the public to get facts and opinions placed into the official record and City Council will use to make the Commission’s decision. He encouraged those present to take full advantage of this opportunity. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Lehrman moved to approve the April 18, 2024, meeting minutes, seconded by Commissioner Moffitt, motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Moffit moved to approve the April 30, 2024, meeting minutes, seconded by Commissioner Lehrman, motion passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS None PUBLIC HEARINGS A. CA 2024-001 Overnight Truck Habitation Jennifer Ballard stated that an applicant has requested that Planning Commission develop a recommendation for a text amendment to allow for a Trucking-related use. Staff determined the proposed use is not currently described in PMC Title 25 (Zoning Code). Proposed use as described by the Applicant:  Provide gated lot for the purpose of overnight truck parking.  Allow drivers to sleep/live in their trucks overnight.  Provide associated amenities (laundry, showers, etc.) April 18th was the Planning Commission workshop, and tonight is the first open record hearing for this code text amendment so that interested parties may give testimony, and the Planning Commission can then provide a specific direction to staff regarding the content of the amendment. Staff prepared examples and photos of existing sites for the Commission, which were presented. Planning Commission may initiate an open record hearing to develop a recommendation for a text amendment. [PMC Section 25.210.020(2)(b)] Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 5 May 16, 2024 Comments/Questions from Commissioners: Commissioner Moffitt commented their primary concern should be the safe, comfortable place for Pasco residents to live in. Commissioner Crutchfield commented on the concern for noise, and they should be located accordingly to protect the residential zones and should be located in the industrial area. Commissioner Torres commented on nonexistent codes in Washington regarding this kind of request, but that then the Commission an opportunity to craft their own code, and giving the previous concerns that they are a good place to start. Commissioner Lehrman commented and looking out for inner city residents, schools, parks, as well as roads making sure that our community members are able to travel throughout the city safely and not overburden those areas. With that in mind, C3 locations should be taken off of the table. Commissioner Hendler commented he would relegate them to industrial zoning only, assuming they can provide adequate access, egress, and the facilities needed. He added that the City needs these, but they need to be really carefully thought out. Otherwise, they'll end up being a disaster and provide very, very bad experiences for the truckers and the community. Chair Cochran comments on thoughts and ideas from the other Commissioners and urged them to email staff with any other comments or ideas. Public Comments: John Schlein with B4 Development and Consulting, who is the applicants, stated we want to put it on Louis Street right next to the Pasco Flea Market. Louis Street happens to also be a truck route, and so their eventual goal is to take 40 east all the way up to Louis Street, and then redo the intersection of Heritage Boulevard and Louis Street. So that will become the main truck route to get into Amazon or any of those areas down there. There is also a truck school already there. We actually own the 12 acres to the north as well against the interstate, and we believe that this would be a part of that for the long term strategy. So, we believe this is a great location. Our desire was from the is we ask for a conditional use permit. Next Steps: • July 2024: Planning Commission Public Hearing + Recommendation • Summer 2024: City Council Workshops, Public Hearings & Determination B. CPA2023-001 Road 100 & Argent Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 5 May 16, 2024 The City presented a flow chart to the Commission as asked. This was an amendment change with no proposed type of business going in at this time. Jeff Adams went through each criterion with the Commission for more clarity. Jeff Adams stated I would like to point out, though, that the Planning Commission can recommend approval as submitted. It could recommend an amended approval, meaning if you think that some other land use designation would be more appropriate, you can recommend one of those other designations, or you can recommend denial based on the criteria that we've looked at. Comments/Questions from Commissioners: Commissioners were agreed regarding concerns or a possible zoning change in that area. It is a long-standing residential development and concerns of safety, future road situation, and development. Public Comment: Pete Reike, 9104 W Pooler, commented on the noise, traffic and light pollution, and is against it. Jeff Smith, 8920 W Dradie, commented on people being happy with the neighborhood the way it is. They have made investment to their property and do not want change in that area. James Larson, 9817 Star Lane, spoke to the Commission about his thoughts on violations of the comprehensive plan regarding the application. He is against it. Sandra Cooke, 2916 Linden Court, would like to keep commercial thing up in the commercial area. Teresa Kruschk 10213 Willow Way, spoke regarding the business of the neighborhood already with the schools close by and is concerned about health and safety. Michael Clayton, 10036 W Argent, is concerned about the idea of a commercial property and what it will do to the intersection. Judy Simpson, 11404 W Court, asked the Commission to not approve due to it not making sense. It is a residential area and commercial zoning should stay closer to the freeway. Dallas Green, 10508 W Court, spoke about his concern for the possible changes that could happen to the current neighborhood. If approved, the area will be radically impacted by what will go there, as far as noise, safety, and traffic. Ivan Pernetta, 2917 Road 100, spoke to the Commission about concerns of safety and impact to the neighborhood. Shane O’Neill, Clover Planning, Applicant, spoke to the Commission regarding why this applicant should move forward. That this is a non-project action. There are no impacts that can be identified or quantified. If you're going to use that criteria as the basis for a negative recommendation, please develop a finding that would support your negative recommendation. A resident at 11404 Court was unaware of the application and asked how he could obtain future items. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 5 May 16, 2024 Nate Clayton, 10033 Locust, stated he plans to build on the land, however if this moves forward that he will not build and would sell his land instead. He does not want commercial in the neighborhood. Chair Cochran closed the public hearing. Commissioner Crutchfield made a motion to deny the application, Commissioner Torres seconded, the motion passed unanimously. Chair Cochran stated it was raised there was an objection to Commissioner Lehrman’s participation, and that we should make sure that's noted in the recommendation that she was not recused. She also provided justification why that was for the last meeting when she was running as a City Council candidate. She is no longer in that position, no longer in running for political office. And so, it's a different situation. But make it noted for the record because it was raised as an objection by the applicant for the representation. WORSHOP None OTHER BUSINESS Chair Cochran will not be in attendance for the June meeting, Commissioner Lehrman will chair. ADJOURNMENT Chair Cochran stated with no other business, I recommend a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Lehrman made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Commissioner Torres seconded, motion passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:47 pm.

Fourteen (14) requests for funds were submitted totaling $1,667,212. Applicants will present their proposals before the Planning Commission tonight. No action is required of the Planning Commission at tonight’s meeting, only consideration of the applications is necessary. Estimated Funds Available It is estimated that the 2025 annual entitlement grant will be $677,540 based on the award for program year 2024. There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by Congress. Actual available funding for these FY 2025 activities will remain in question until the middle part of the year when the CDBG allocation is made by Congressional Resolution. If funding levels are lower than estimated or eliminated the city will need to consider several options, including a voluntary or proportionate reduction of allocation, possible inclusions in the 2025 city general fund budget requests. If funding levels are higher than estimated, activity funding will be reallocated in accordance with the contingency plan according to the greatest need. Public Service Cap HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support public service activities may not exceed 15% of the combined total of the entitlement. Based on the estimated entitlement of $677,540 the maximum available for public service activities in 2025 is $101,631. Current requests for public services total $726,712. Planning & Administration Cap HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG Funds obligated within a program year to support planning and administration activities may not exceed 20% of the combined total of the entitlement. For 2025, the estimated entitlement of $677,540 makes the maximum available for planning and administration $135,508. Current requests for planning and administration total $135,500. No action from the Planning Commission is necessary. The Commission is expected to hear from the 2025 applicants and will have the opportunity to ask questions. The City Staff would like to thank the members of the Planning Commission for your time and assistance.

Domestic Violence Services of Benton and Franklin Counties (DVSBF) is requesting $70,000 in funding to hire two new bilingual/bicultural advocates from the Pasco community. These individuals will primarily be low to moderate-income residents, enhancing our capacity to serve up to 800 residents from similar income backgrounds. Given the rapid growth of Pasco, offering services in residents' primary language and cultural context is critical. The new advocates will be trained to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate support to Pasco's diverse population. They will offer mobile services, meeting clients off-site, particularly benefiting those with disabilities that prevent them from visiting our location. Our 24-hour hotline will facilitate initial contact, allowing us to refer clients to a bilingual advocate promptly. Our outreach efforts will focus on underserved and marginalized populations, including low- income residents, immigrants, shelter residents, farmworkers, migrants, monolingual Spanish speakers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people of color. By meeting these communities where they are, we aim to overcome historical prejudices and stigmas associated with disability, homelessness, poverty, immigration, and other marginalized identities. The requested funding will enable DVSBF to expand its reach and improve service delivery in Pasco, ensuring that vulnerable and underserved communities receive the support they need in a manner that respects and reflects their linguistic and cultural backgrounds. We are committed to making a significant impact by providing accessible, equitable, and effective services to those who need them the most. 2) Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics, demographics, or other factual information. DVSBF seeks funding to address the critical needs of vulnerable populations in our community, specifically focusing on migrants and non-English speaking clients. Through extensive research and community assessments, we have identified that these individuals face unique and compounded challenges, making them the most vulnerable in accessing essential services. Migrants and non-English speaking clients often struggle to access crucial information about available services and resources due to language barriers and unfamiliarity with local systems. This lack of information exacerbates their vulnerability, leaving them unaware of their rights, eligibility criteria, and available support networks. Language plays a pivotal role in their ability to navigate and understand services . Non-English speaking clients encounter difficulties in completing application forms, understanding legal documents, and communicating with service providers. This linguistic barrier significantly hinders their access to services, increasing their vulnerability to poverty, social exclusion, and health disparities. DVSBF: 2025 Program Vear CDBG Application Success will be measured by the documentation of the number of new Pasco residents served . Our target is to assist 800 new individuals over the course of the year. We will track and report on this metric to ensure accountability and continuous improvement. 12). Are the above "other sources" of funds secured? Please describe: Yes, DVSBF has secured $30,000 specifically allocated for services benefiting Pasco residents. Additionally, we anticipate raising further funds through ongoing donations and fund raising efforts. These efforts include partnerships with local businesses, community fundraising events, and individual contributions from community members. Our strong track record in community engagement and successful fund raising campaigns provides confidence in our ability to secure the necessary additional funds . 13). If you do not receive the requested funds or receive only a portion of what you requested, what will you do? If DVSBF does not receive the full amount of requested funds, we w i ll actively seek alternative funding sources to support the Pasco outreach project. Recognizing the high need in Pasco, we are committed to establishing relationships with low to moderate-income families experiencing domestic violence or homelessness. 14). If you request includes recurring costs such as staff time, supplies, etc. what is your plan to secure funds for these needs in the future? (The purpose of CDBG funds is not to fund projects that are the general responsibility of government or to maintain the operation of a non-profit organization.) DVSBF is committed to establishing and sustaining local services for Pasco residents. The requested funds will support the initial development and implementation of the program in Pasco. To ensure the long-term viability of these services, DVSBF will seek funding from local county, state and federal agencies. 5.

Historically the Ambassadors of Lakev iew Achieving Success ALAS leadership group students was created in 2014 out of a group of high school students that lived at Lakeview Mobile Home Park 1505 S Road 40 East, Pasco, WA in East Pasco . These students attended Chiawana High School and had siblings that attended Ellen Ochoa Middle School out of the Pasco School District . The students are bused 10 .5 miles to attend Chiawana High School compared to 3.4 miles to attend Ellen Ochoa Middle School. The 2014-2015 ALAS Leadership students, now graduates of post -secondary education programs are still committed to their Lakeview Mobile Home Park community and are available to inspire, motivate and mentor the current students that live at Lakeview Mobile Home Park and share what they have learned throughout their educational journey. Currently ALAS students attend Ellen Ochoa Middle School, Chiawana, and New Horizon High Schools . Ruvine Jimenez, Regional Field Director of the Tri -Cities for the League of Education Voters along with volunteer community members have been working with students that live at the Lakeview Mobile home Park at 1505 S Road 40 E, Pasco , WA 99301 , as Mentors since 2015 . As part of her regular duties, Ruvine has been working in Tri -City and Yakima Valley Communities for the last 10 years in the Education and Community Organization Landscape to learn of the resources that are/might be available for students and families in educational and mental health services from preschool to k-12 for student and family success . Prior to working for the League of Education Voters she worked for 13 years at the Benton Franklin Community Action Committee, 12 of those years as the Child Care Support Services Director for Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla Counties . In addition to attending the Igniting Student Sparks training on 2-23 -24 conducted by the Search Institute renown for discoveri ng what kids need to succeed she just completed eight hours of training to Become a Trusted Adult through Yakima NAMI , Kathleen Donaldson, BS , and Lucianne Hackbert, Phd, Co-Creators of Becoming A Trusted Adult 2025 CDBG RFP Application Packet LEV FOUNDATION FINAL (2) 1 According to Federal USDA data the families that live at the 200 plus Lakeview Mobile Home Park qualify for Free and Reduced -price meals based on area eligibility according to census data .

LEVF 's Regional Field Director, Ruvine Jimenez, meets with ALAS Students at least biweekly to work on Lakeview Commun ity Building Projects to help reduce the incidents of vandalism and malicious mischief at Lakeview Mobile Home Park Community and to identify immediate challenges and issues that are happening 2025 CDBG RFP Application Packet LEV FOUNDATION FINAL (2) 2 in the community and member's respective sch_ool communities with attendance, grades, high school and beyond plans, school and/or parent engagement . To incentivize the students to be part of the ALAS Student Leadership Group 45 Students will receive a $25 monthly stipend when they work towards their academic goals in addition to working on Community Building Projects. The Regional Field Director will work towards students served meeting their goals at 100% completion by coordinating out of class time programs and academic supports with parents, school district and programs aligned with the student's goals, helping students identify career goals with their parent input, career bridge , supports provided by their school, monitoring and ensuring that students served are passing key core subject areas aligned with their career goals, by monitoring school attendance to make sure it is maintained or improved and/or identifying barriers to attendance success and that the students will transition from m i ddle school to high school aligned with their career goals. Students will also learn how to have inclusive conversations, learn intent, and impact of how conversations are received . The Regional Field Director will support the students with their community service projects and help them continue to build partnerships and collaborations with local businesses and non-profit organizations . With funding provided a Civic Engagement trip to Olympia will be planned and conducted for students and their parents to introduce them to the importance of civic engagement, voting, and how to vote . With funding provided the newly elected ALAS Board will be registered to attend the La Cima Latino Leadership and Life Skills Camp in the summer so they can learn amongst students that look like them, so they do not feel alienated as they learn new skills on how to communicate amongst themselves . Not even a mile away, Tiera Vida has resources available for the students that live in their community. The Lakeview Mobile Home Park Leasing Manager wants to make sure that the students at Lakeview also have activities in their community as well because they are their own community and let's face it when youth have healthy product ive activities there is less vandalism . The Leasing Manager would also like to see that the parents of Lakeview Mobile Home Park receive support on Parent Rights and how to discipline in the care of their children . No one is opposed to working with the Tierra Vida Community, it is just that Lakeview Mobile Home Park students have been marginalized and it is a 200 plus mobile home park . All students that live at Lakeview Mobile Home Park will be invited to join and no discrimination will be tolerated. We already have students that identify as gay and bisexual in the ALAS student group. ALAS students have also recruited friends that do not live at Lakeview Mobile Home Park but that live in East Pasco . While most of the students identify from Mexican heritage the LEVF Regional Field Director is Puerto Rican and partner organizations that have worked with us have non-Hispanic role models . Even though the middle and high schools have counselors that take students to the Regional Youth Prevention Summit held by the Health Department or Health Care Authority for some reason they have not connected with the ALAS students . LEVFs Regional Field Director, makes sure the ALAS students and their parents receive the information, are registered, are provided transportation (even if it is public) and attend . ALAS student's attendance at Drug and Alcohol use prevention programs has increased since engaging with ALAS . They will continue to be exposed to opportun ities such as the substance abuse prevention summits, skiing/snowboarding (like some of their affluent peers), community resource fairs, and career fairs . We have worked with them on identifying the importance of post-secondary education and what that could look like . Most importantly we have let the students know they can advance to post-secondary education whether it be in the trades , community college, or university, if they choose to do so and how. It is about learning how you can earn money doing what you love to do and applying what you are learning at school to your life . LEVFs Tri -City Regional Field Director goes door to door to meet with parents and students to recruit 7th to 12th grade students and their parents that live in the Lakeview Mobile Home Park community that would 2025 CDBG RFP Application Packet LEV FOUNDATION FINAL (2) 3 2 . like to build their leadership skills in service to the younger students and families that live in the Lakeview Mobile Home Park Community to be involved in the Ambassadors of Lakeview Achieving Success Student Leadership Group. We create flyers and pass them out at the bus stop for recruitment. We hold community building events and put together community improvement projects that bring the Lakeview community together and inform them of the different opportunities that could available time permitting such as : • Self-Care event such as Breast Cancer or Prostate Cancer Awareness • Spring Junk Day on South Road 40 Clean Up Day • Welcome Spring Event • Mother's Day Activity • Father's Day Activity • Fourth of July Celebration • Back to school readiness summer camp • Strengthening Families • Guiding Good Choices • Movie Nights • Winterization Awareness • Dia de las Muertos Activities • Winter Break Activities In add ition, during the summer the ALAS Students would like to provide two activities for the primary school students a month so they can grow alongside and develop them as leaders of their community . The ALAS Leadership group are in turn mentored by community organizations and volunteers such as the Pasco Prevention Network, Pasco Police Department, Mayor of the City of Pasco, Domestic Violence Center , Boys and Girls Club, Pasco Fire Department, Local Churches, WSU Teacher's Program, Columbia Basin College, Pasco School District, and the League of Education Voters by aiding them in assisting with resource fairs or the programs that they are funded for. Describe the unmet need in the community using statistics, demographics, or other factual information. Students in the state of Washington missed out on two years of in person instruction and access to Guidance Counselors due to COVID -19 . Research shows that schools designated as Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) schools had significantly higher schoolwide proficiency rates in English as compared with the control schools (Mullen et al., 2019). This same study also found that when schools reduce the student-to-school counselor ratio to ASCA's recommended 250 :1, students who receive free and reduced lunch at high - poverty schools achieve improved academic outcomes (Mullen et al., 2019). According to the Pasco School District website Ellen Ochoa Middle School has 2 counselors for 860 students that they must connect with in 180 schoolwork days. Chawana High School has 12 counselors to connect with 3,274 students within the 180 schoolwork days . This is typically due to Washington States Prototypical School Funding Model based on enrolled students. Either way the above caseload puts students at risk of being lost in the education system without any direction on how to pursue any post -secondary goals due to capacity issues . The majority of students and the parents that live at Lakeview do not know of the educational opportunities and/or careers that are available to students compared to most students their age because they do not know how to navigate the education system , they live in the rural area of the city of Pasco , they do not have routine access to school counselors (due to capacity) or mentors, the students are bused 10.5 miles to attend Chiawana High School and 3.4 miles to attend Ellen Ochoa Middle School. Additionally, COVID -19 created an additional barrier to access resources and further disconnected students and families from their home school. Furthermore, due to the depletion of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds the Pasco School District was not able to continue to partner with some 2025 CDBG RFP Application Packet LEV FOUNDATION FINAL (2) 4 community-based organizations that were providing intense wrap around services through a Student Support Coordinator at Ochoa Middle School , Chiawana and Pasco High Schools creating a bigger divide for students and families in their ability to access community resources and access to school counselors . Thereby this will create a bigger need for the Lakeview Community to learn about the resources that are available to them and how to access them to become self-sufficient . ESD 123 has not been able to provide before or afterschool program activities nor summer activities for the Lakeview Mobile Home Park community due to lack of 21 st Century Federal Funding after running a program at Lakeview Mobile Home Park community for seven years since the end of summer in 2023 . This is leav i ng a huge gap in the Lakeview Mobile Home Park to fill for the 263 plus students that live at Lakeview. 3.

Schools cannot do it alone . According to a 2016 published study on The Func t io ns and Longitudinal Outcomes of Adolescents' Naturally Occurring Mentorships, adolescence is a time during which positive adults outside the familial context may be most influential to development . A growing body of research on naturally occurring mentors has found favorable outcomes for youth who have these types of positive adult figures in their lives . Less is known , however, about how these naturally occurring mentors influence youths' development in the long-term . This study examines the long-term outcomes related to having a naturally occurring community mentor in adolescence. Results from longitudinal analyses of a nationally representative sample of adolescents revealed that having a mentor in adolescence was related to higher educational attainment, lower criminal activity, higher psychological well-being (i.e ., optimism, self-efficacy, and lack of depressive symptoms), and greater romantic relationship satisfaction in adulthood. Additionally, a taxonomy of mentoring functions was created from qualitative responses and drawing upon the youth, work, and academic mentoring literature . This taxonomy aims to serve as a framework for understanding the functions of youth mentors to provide a foundation fo r future research . Implications of findings and future directions are considered . Miranda-Chan, T., Fruiht , V., Dubon, V., & Wray-Lake, L. (2016).

This will become evident with less incidents of malicious mischief and vandalism based off of conversations with the Lakeview Mobile Home Park leasing agent and Police Department Reports . • Students and families will learn how to navigate the education system, students will learn how to set educational goals, be rewarded for their successes, and start to correlate that education will improve the quality of their lives. An improvement in attendance and overall grades will be monitored monthly . • Parents and students will develop a trusting relationship with the Pasco Police Department and or Pasco Prevention Network. Parents and students will participate in activities sponsored by Pasco Police Department and or Pasco Prevention Network. • Families will learn how to navigate resources to help them become self-sufficient by participating in activities that inform them on how to access or navigate resources . • While the ALAS Student Leadership Group will consist of middle and high school students they will be working towards engaging with all of the 263 plus students and families that live at Lakeview Mobile Home Park with the prosocial community activities they are planning to bring the community together in community building activities . 10.

We are increasing the number of students we are targeting to 45 unduplicated ALAS students in 2025. In addition, the $15 monthly stipend did not do much to motivate students participation so we are increasing the stipend to $25 a month to see if it will generate a greater interest in participation . 2025 CDBG RFP Application Packet LEV FOUNDATION FINAL (2) 11 In 2024 students were initially suspicious and worried that their grades were not good enough but after much encouragement and assurance that their initial grades were a baseline to what we where going to try to set a goal at they started to relax and started to work towards the stipend . In 2025 while we will continue to focus on students, we will also focus on strengthening partnerships in hopes this will encourage students towards more participation in ALAS .

SUBMITTED BY: _____________________________________________ Signature of Authorized Agency Official _____________________________________________ Printed Name & Title _______________________________ Date REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION City Hall – 525 North Third Avenue THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2024 6:30 PM 1 To: Planning Commission From: Kristin Webb, Block Grant Administrator Subject: 2025 HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME) PROGRAM ALLOCATION AND ANNUAL WORK PLAN (MF#BGAP2024-004) Background Pasco entered into a HOME Consortium Agreement with Richland and Kennewick in 1996 making the City eligible for Federal HOME funds. The Agreement will expire in December 2024, which at that time changes can be made. Each year an annual action plan is required to be prepared and submitted to HUD for use of estimated funds for the following program year. Estimated Funds Available It is estimated that the 2025 annual entitlement grant to the HOME Consortium will be $652,569. Each member city is allocated an equal share of the entitlement after 10% Set-Aside for Administration, and 15% Set-Aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). Pasco’s share of the entitlement is estimated to be $116,160 when the remaining funds are split equally between the three cities. HOME Program income estimated in 2025 is $100,000 and may be used for Down Payment Assistance, Tenant Based Rental Assistance, Owner Occupied Rehab, or an Eligible CHDO Project depending on need. These estimates are based on the 2024 HOME Allocation. There is always some question regarding actual funding levels approved by Congress. Actual available funding for these FY 2025 activities will remain in question until the early part of the year when the HOME allocation is made by Congressional Resolution and an amendment to the Annual Action Plan may be necessary. If funding levels are lower than estimated, activity funding may need to be reallocated accordingly. Planning & Administration HUD regulations state that the amount of HOME Funds obligated within a program year to support planning and administration activities may not exceed 10% of the entitlement. This is awarded to Richland annually as the Lead Agency of the HOME Consortium to manage all activities. Member cities are provided funds for planning and administration from 10% of program income received from completed projects within their jurisdiction. CHDO Set-Aside Each year a minimum of 15% of the entitlement grant must be set-aside to help Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) to add to the permanent affordable housing stock. The CHDO set-aside funds may be combined with program income for a development project that will be selected through a competitive RFP process. Proposed Activities HOME funds are based on need and income eligibility and may be used anywhere within the city limits, however, neighborhoods designated as priority by Pasco City Council received first consideration. Funding is first targeted in the Longfellow and Museum neighborhoods, then within low-moderate income census tracts (201, 202, 203 and 204). If HOME funds cannot be applied to those areas, then they are used as needed within the Pasco City limits for the benefit of eligible low-moderate income families. Funds may be reallocated 2 between programs to meet community needs. 2025 Funding Source Budget Entitlement & Estimated Program Income $216,160 2025 Proposed Activities Program Administration $10,000 Down Payment Assistance Program $10,000 Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program $98,080 Rehabilitation/Acquisition $98,080 $216,160 Recommendations No action from the Planning Commission is necessary. The Commission will approve the resolution at the July 18, 2024, meeting.
