(a) The County may be the recipient, in any federal fiscal year, of CDBG Funds, as determined and allocated to the County by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In any year that the County is the recipient of a CDBG allocation, the total CDBG allocation shall be divided as follows: 20% for administration, 10% for public services; 70% for projects. All projects must meet a national objective and must be an eligible activity as those terms are established, defined and/or interpreted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as the same may be amended from time to time. Furthermore, all projects must meet all other requirements established, defined and/or interpreted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as the same may be amended from time to time.
(b) Upon receipt of a CDBG allocation in any federal fiscal year, the County Executive's Office, through the Department of Community and Economic Development (the "Department"), shall solicit applications for funding from non-profit entities, municipalities and townships within the County's CDBG service area. Applications shall subsequently be reviewed by Department staff, who shall recommend to the Committee which applications should receive funding, and the amount of the same. The Committee shall then review the applications and the recommendations of the Department staff, and the Committee shall recommend to County Council which applications should receive funding, and the amount of the same. Upon receipt of the Committee's recommendations, County Council may subsequently adopt a resolution whereby it approves an annual action plan identifying the public services and projects funded with the CDBG allocation. Department staff shall subsequently submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development the annual action plan approved by County Council.
