Stephanie Hartel, 1479 Oakcrest Drive, Waterloo, IA 50701 City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 The applicant is requesting to construct a new 9,792 SF Dog Daycare Facility. The request to construct a 9,792 SF Dog Daycare Facility would not appear to have a negative impact upon the surrounding area as it would appear to be compatible with other industrial and commercial development in the area. The proposed site plan amendment would not appear to have a negative impact upon vehicular or pedestrian traffic conditions in the area. The site is served by Airport Boulevard which is a Collector. West Airline Highway, an Arterial, is located to the south of the site. There are no trails or sidewalks in the immediate project area. The area in question has been zoned "M -2,P" Planned Industrial District since March 13, 1995, when the land was rezoned from "A-1" Agricultural District to allow for industrial and commercial development on the site. Surrounding land uses and their zoning designations are as follows: North — Industrial and Commercial buildings, and Airport, zoned "M -2,P" Planned Industrial District. South — Industrial and Commercial Buildings, zoned "M -2,P" Planned Industrial District and "M-1" Light Industrial District. East — Vacant Land and, Industrial and Commercial Businesses, zoned "M -2,P" Planned Industrial District. West — Vacant Land, and Industrial and Commercial Businesses, zoned "M -2,P" Planned Industrial District. No buffers are needed regarding this request. The applicant will need to submit and execute a landscaping plan for the site during the building permit approval process. It will be necessary that a storm water detention plan is submitted, as well as a SWPPP to the Engineering Department for review and approval. The proposed request would not appear to have a negative impact upon drainage in the area.

RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN: STAFF ANALYSIS — ZONING ORDINANCE: STAFF ANALYSIS — SPA S of 3289 Airport Boulevard May 6, 2019 The surrounding area is mostly vacant land to west and east. Commercial and Industrial Areas to the north were built between the 1940's and 2010's. The Commercial and Industrial Areas to the south were built between the 1980's and 2010's. None of the property is located in the 100 -year flood plain as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 0167F, dated July 18, 2011. Lincoln Elementary School is located 2.49 miles to the southeast, George Washington Carver Academy is located 3.31 miles to the southeast, and East High School is located 4.59 miles to the southeast. George Wyth State Park is located 0.75 miles to the south of the site. There is a 12" sewer line underneath Airport Boulevard that is located to the south of the project site. In addition there is a 12" sewer line and 12" water main in an easement along the east side of Airport Boulevard. In addition there is a 12" waterline to the south of the proposed building site. A waste disposal plan will be required because K-9 animal waste is not allowed to be placed in the City's sanitary sewer system. The fire department will also require the building to be sprinkled as well. The Future Land Use Map designates the area to the South, East, and West as Industrial. Land to north is designate as Industrial and Parks, Open Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. The proposed site plan amendment would be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map for this area. The applicant is requesting to construct a 9,792 SF Dog Daycare facility. The area in question is zoned "M -2,P" Planned Industrial District, and this zoning is designed to permit the establishment of industrial parks and to provide for the orderly planned growth of industries on large tracts of land and allowing for greater flexibility and diversification of land uses and building locations. It is also intended that such industrial parks be developed to maximize the potentials of industrial areas and at the same time minimize any adverse effect upon adjacent properties in other zoning districts. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 space for every 2 persons employed at the facility which is anticipated to only be 2 employees at the maximum. The site plan has 8 parking spaces listed on the site plan. Which is 7 spaces more than what is required per the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting on April 2, 2019 unanimously approved the site plan amendment for the Dog Day Care Facility. A plat will need to be submitted for this area as part of a separate Page 2 of Page 28 of 518 SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE: TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE AIRPORT LAND USE AND HEIGHT OVERLAY DISTRICT STAFF RECOMMENDATION: SPA S of 3289 Airport Boulevard May 6, 2019 request. The Technical Review Committee noted that Waterloo Waterworks owns the waterlines for the proposed site and that a waste disposal plan will be required for the animal waste. The proposed site plan amendment area is designated as Zone D on the Waterloo Airport Land Use and Height Overlay Map. The maximum elevation/height of the structure allowed at the Dog Daycare Facility site is 1,023 feet and the base elevation of the site is only 870 feet. The height of the Dog Daycare Facility is 12 feet and the base elevation plus the Dog Daycare Facility height is only 882 feet, which is 141 feet less than what is the height maximum for the site. In addition no impacts are anticipated regarding the proposed land use for the building of an Dog Daycare Facility and the proposed building, which is considered a compatible use in the the City of Waterloo Airport Land Use and Height Overlay Zoning Ordinance. Therefore all conditions are met. Therefore, staff recommends that the request for a site plan amendment in the "M -2,P" Planned Industrial District, be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map for this area. 2. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on traffic conditions in the area. 3.

What are the likely consequences if the position is not filled? The City will not be able to complete work in house and will need to hire more consultants, costing the City more money than filling this position. This could also mean the city will not be in compliance with our NPDES permit.

Approved subject to the following conditions: itting epartment Head ate Chief Financial Officer Date Human Resources Co Created 6/30/2017 ittee Chairperson Date t Mayor Date ;- Resources Director 1 at Page 80 of 518 PERSONNEL REQUISITION Associate Engineer The following questions are provided as guidelines to assist you in developing your rational for the position of Associate Engineer in the Engineering Department. Depending upon your situation, some questions may or may not apply. Please provide written responses to these questions as part of your preparation for meeting with the Mayor. (1) What are the key job responsibilities of this position? Designs and directs the preparation of plans and specifications for various City designed projects. Reviews and administers consultant designed projects on behalf of the City. Works with the storm water specialist to make sure that the City is in compliance with our NPDES permit. This person will answer questions from the general public and other City departments on technical matters. This position also reviews site plans and SWPPP documents submitted by consultants for new private construction. This position also works with the Corps of Engineers and other City departments to ensure that our levee system is functioning correctly. (2) Can the job responsibilities of this position be assigned to other employees within the department? If no, why not? No, the amount of work is too much to be spread around to existing staff and requires a full time individual. This person is needed to design our sidewalk program, various road construction programs and help make sure the city is in compliance with our NPDES permit. (3) How is the work of this position being accomplished now? I (Jamie Knutson) am currently doing a small portion of this work as most of our projects were designed for the year prior to becoming the Interim City Engineer. As we head into the fall and winter, this is when most of our projects will be designed for the following year. I will be working on the budget and other activities and won't have time for designing projects. (4) Are the filled positions in your department currently being utilized to their maximum potential? Yes. There are only 4 engineers on staff currently to do all of the design work for City projects and to oversee consultant designed projects, answer questions from the public and advise other departments. Other staff members are used for project inspections and some design during the winter months. Looking at other cities, Dubuque (7 engineers), Ames (5 engineers), West Des Moines (6 engineers), Cedar Rapids (6 engineers) and Iowa City (7 engineers), Waterloo having 5 full time engineers would be in the correct proportions. Page 81 of 518 (5) How would filling this position meet the needs of your department or the City on either a short-term basis (if temporary position) or a long-term basis (if a regular position)? The staff person will develop and oversee several different projects, including the City's annual sidewalk program, design on the annual reconstruction and overlay projects, reviewing site plans and drainage analysis and overseeing our NPDES storm water permit. Without this person most projects will not be completed in house and a consultant will need to be hired to do the design. Without this person, the time for review of new commercial developments will take several weeks and slow down time sensitive developments. (6) What cost savings or revenues, if any, would your department or the City realize if this position is filled? There would be some immediate cost savings to the RUT, LOST and Storm Water Fund based on the salary and benefits. In the longer term the City would need to hire a consultant to do more design and inspection work, thus costing the city more in the long term. (7) If you are paying overtime or comp time within your department to accomplish this work now, how much overtime or comp time has been paid out or earned that is directly attributable to this position and over what period of time? This job is a bargaining position but also FLSA exempt for overtime due to this being a professional classification. However, if this position is not filled in a timely manner I will be forced to pay overtime during the winter for the design of projects in the amount of $10,000 to $20,000 for other staff to do the design. This would be a yearly ongoing cost as long as this position remains unfilled. (8) (9) How has the work load or demands of your department changed in comparison to your staffing levels over the past three fiscal years? Provide statistics if possible. The federal government is adding more regulations (storm water permit, consent decree requirements, ADA requirements, flood control, bus stop benches) and this increases the need for qualified staff. If this position is not filled, what affect will it have on your department? What work will not get done? What costs will you incur? Please be as specific as possible. If this position is not filled small drainage projects, trail repairs, sidewalk ramps and some road projects will not be done. To do these projects, the City will need to hire outside consultants to do the design and inspection of these projects. As we saw with the bus stop project, it cost the city $75,000 in consultant fees for something that could have been designed in house. An upcoming bridge deck project would not be designed in-house and would cost around $60,000 to hire a consultant. The sidewalk ramps would not be Page 82 of 518 designed in-house and would cost $100,000 or more to hire a consultant for the design based on the cost of the bus stop project. This person could help finish the storm water fee update with an expected increase in revenue of $40,000 to $60,000 to the storm water fund. The City would need to hire a consultant to design small drainage projects such as Ash Street, Byrnes Sewer and Byrnes drainage with a cost of $10,000 to $15,000 for each project. Surveying for other departments would have to stop and the cost would be around $10,000 per year for the City to hire a consultant to do the surveying. Also during the month of September 2018 and October 2018, with the severe rainfall events we have experienced, additional storm water projects are needed and this position will help to address that. (10) How do you cover the responsibilities for this position whenever the incumbent is out on vacation? Vacations are for only a week or so at a time and other staff can cover but may not be able to fully answer all questions that come in about a particular project. As we move into design season, without this person, projects will need to be outsourced to a consultant. (11) Is it possible that the City could outsource this position to an outside agency? If so, what savings, if any, would the City realize as a result of this change? See #9 above for examples of what it would cost the City to outsource the work. The above costs and loss of increased revenue would pay for this positions salary and benefits for the year and this still allows this person to work on other projects during the year. (12) How would you rank this position in terms of its contribution to City business in comparison with other positions reporting to you? I would rank the assistant city engineer as 41 and then the associate engineer position #2. This position is a professional position that requires the person to do work with minimal oversight. (13) How does this position impact the Goals and Objectives for the City adopted by the City Council? This position is not paid for out of the general fund but this position helps the council to reduce property taxes by doing work in house rather than hiring a consultant to do the work which would require bond funds. It also helps to improve Waterloo's image by having well trained staff that can answer questions of the general public and helps other departments by being able to answer their questions in a timely manner.

Section 3.02 Rent 1. Ground Site Rent. In addition to financing all improvements and development of the Premises, the Operator shall pay an annual ground rent of $4,375.00, which is equal to $0.125 per square foot for 35,000 square feet of improved ground site. Said agreed rent shall be paid in advance monthly on the first day of each month in twelve (12) equal installments of $364.58. Rent is subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.04. 2. Payments. All payments are to be made at the office of the Waterloo Regional Airport, 2790 Livingston Lane, Waterloo, Iowa 50701. Payments are due on or before the first day of each month, starting the first month following the month in which an occupancy permit is first issued to Operator. Section 3.03 Options to Renew 1. Operator shall have the option to renew this Agreement for two (2) additional five (5) year (sixty (60) month) periods, provided that Operator is not then in default of this Agreement.

Upon termination of this Agreement, through default or lapse of time, all fixed improvements to the Premises shall, automatically and without payment of any compensation, become property of the City of Waterloo / Airport as detailed in Article 11. Section 3.04 Future Adjustments of Rents and Fees As of the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, and every five years thereafter, the annual rental payment shall be adjusted to reflect changes in economic conditions by multiplying the rental by a fraction, the denominator of which is the Consumer Price Index All Urban Consumers, All Cities, non - seasonally adjusted, (CPI, Midwest Region) 1982-1984 = 100, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (the "Index") for the third month preceding the Effective Date and the numerator of which is the Index for the third month immediately preceding the beginning of each fifth year. In no event shall the Operator's rental obligation be reduced below the rent that is initially established by this Agreement. Should the United States Government revise its price index at any time, the parties hereto will follow such suggestions as the Government may issue for making an arithmetical changeover from one index to another. Should the price index be wholly discontinued, then its successor or the most nearly comparable successor index thereof, adjusted back to the date that is three (3) months prior to the date of this Agreement, shall be used. Section 3.05 Holding Over If Operator holds possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Term, including any renewal term, by lapse of time or otherwise, Operator shall become a tenant at sufferance upon all of the terms contained herein, except as to Lease Term and Rent. During such holdover period, Operator shall pay to the Airport a monthly rental equivalent to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent payable by Operator to the Airport with respect to the last month of the Lease Term. The monthly rent payable for such holdover period shall in no event be construed as a penalty or as liquidated damages for such retention of possession. Without limiting the foregoing, Operator hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Airport, its officials, agents, contractors and employees, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, actions, losses, damages (including without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental and consequential) and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) asserted against or sustained by any such party and arising from or by reason of such retention of possession, which obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease Term. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Airport to allow Operator to hold over, and doing so shall not be a waiver of any of Airport's rights at termination. Section 3.06 Late Charges The Operator shall pay to the Airport a late charge equal to 1.5% per month on all rent and fee charges which are 30 days past due. Said late charge shall commence on the past due amount from the date said payment was due and shall be computed to the date the past due amount is paid. This shall be in addition to, and in no way alters, any other rights reserved to the Airport, or existing in the Airport by virtue of the laws of the State of Iowa, or by the terms of this Agreement. Section 3.07 Surrender of Possession At the expiration of the term of this Agreement, including any renewal term(s), whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Operator shall promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises to the Airport in the condition in which it was received, subject to those improvements as outlined in Article 4 below and reasonable wear. 4 Page 100 of 518 Section 3.08 Chronic Late Payment Airport may also terminate this Agreement for the reason that Operator is chronically late with rental payments. Chronic late payments are defined as making a rental payment more than ten (10) days after the due date on three (3) or more occasions during any consecutive 12 -month period during the term of this Agreement. Section 3.09 Dishonored Checks If Operator makes a payment due under this Agreement with a check or other payment method that has been returned/dishonored by the bank, Operator shall pay a $20.00 administrative fee to Airport and shall also reimburse Airport for any fees charged to Airport by its bank (collectively, "Dishonored Funds Fees"), payable with the next rental payment due after receipt of Airport's written demand for such fee. This amount is in addition to the "Late Fee". Dishonored Funds Fees shall be deemed additional rent. Section 3.10 Application of Payment Money paid by Operator to Airport shall be applied first to interest, second to court costs legally chargeable to Operator, third to attorney fees chargeable to Operator, fourth to outstanding repair bills that are the responsibility of the Operator, and fifth toward rent.

All of the Operator rights and obligations under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of such mortgagee named in said mortgage ("the Lender") and its assignees.

Upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default by the Operator", Operator shall remain liable to the Airport for all arrearages of rentals, fees or charges payable hereunder and for all preceding breach(es) of any term, covenant or condition herein contained. The Airport, in addition to the right of termination, and to any other rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall have the right of re-entry and may remove all Operator's persons and property from the Premises. Upon any such removal, Operator's property may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, the Operator. Should the Airport elect to re-enter as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, it may, at any time subsequent to an "Event of Default by the Operator", either terminate this Agreement or re -let the Premises and any improvements thereon, or any part thereof, for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Agreement) at such rentals, fees and charges, and upon such other terms and conditions, as the Airport, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations, repairs or improvements on said Premises. No re-entry or re -letting of the Premises by the Airport shall be construed as an election of the Airport's part to terminate this Agreement, unless a written notice of such intention is given to the Operator. In re -letting the Premises, the Airport shall make a good faith effort to obtain terms and conditions no less favorable to itself than those contained herein and otherwise seek to mitigate any damage it may suffer as a result of the "Event of Default by the Operator". 16 Page 112 of 518 2, Unless the Airport elects to terminate this Agreement, the Operator shall remain liable for and promptly pay all rentals, fees and charges accruing hereunder until termination of this Agreement at the expiration date set forth herein. 3.

The Operator shall also pay to the Airport, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by such re -letting not covered by the rentals, fees and charges received from such re -letting. 4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a dispute arises between the Airport and Operator with respect to any obligation or alleged obligation of the Operator to make payment(s) to the Airport, the payment(s) under protest by the Operator of the amount claimed by the Operator to be due shall not waive any of the Operator's rights, and if any court or other body having jurisdiction determines all, or any part, of the protested payment was not due, then the Airport shall as promptly as reasonably practicable reimburse the Operator any amount determined as not due plus interest on such amount at the rate of 12% per annum. 5. Operator shall pay to the Airport all reasonable costs, fees (including attorneys & accountants) and expenses incurred by the Airport in the exercise of any remedy upon an event of default by the Operator. 6.

The Airport is permanently closed by act of any federal, state or local government agency having competent jurisdiction. 4. The Operator is unable to use the Airport for a period of at least sixty (60) days due to any law or any order, rule or regulation of any appropriate governmental Airport having jurisdiction over the operations of the Airport, or any court of competent jurisdiction issues an injunction in any way preventing or restraining the use of the Airport, or any part thereof, for airport purposes, and such injunction remains in force for a period of at least sixty (60) days and such situation negatively affects the Operator's use of Premises. 5. The United States Government or any authorized agency of the same (by executive order or otherwise) assumes the operation, control or use of the Airport and its facilities in such a manner as to substantially restrict Operator from conducting its operations, and such restrictions shall continue for a period of at least sixty (60) days. Section 10.02 Remedies for Airport's Defaults Upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default by Airport", the Operator shall have the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement, and all rentals, fees and charges payable by Operator under this Agreement shall abate during a period of suspension or shall terminate, as the case may be.

In addition to its remedy of termination, the Operator shall be entitled to all other remedies available to it by law or equity.

Provided, however, in the event the Airport approves such assignment, Operator shall remain liable to the Airport for the remainder of the term of this Agreement to pay to the Airport any portion of the rental and fees provided for herein upon failure of the assignee to pay the same when due. Said assignee shall not assign said Agreement except with the prior written approval of the Airport and the Operator herein, and any assignment by the Operator to any third party shall contain a clause to this effect.

The subsequent acceptance of rent by Airport will not be needed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Operator of any agreement, condition or provision of this Agreement, other than the failure of Operator to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Airport's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Section 14.10 Severability If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each other term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

As part of the Consortium, the City of Cedar Falls also worked closely in preparing the Consolidated Plan, with assistance from local agencies, including the Iowa Northeast Region Council of Governments (INRCOG), and the Institute for Decision Making (IDM) from the University of Northern Iowa. Stakeholders representing area agencies, local government, state agencies, and other area non -profits, participated in focus groups and provided input on a range of housing and social service needs, especially with a focus on affordable housing and human services that assist low and moderate income households. Major entities included the Waterloo Housing Authority and the Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Agency as well as private entities such as the Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, and Operation Threshold. Many of the activities and services that were identified will involve the cooperation and coordination of the agencies and organizations that participated and provided input during the Consolidated Plan process. Additionally, the City of Waterloo and City of Cedar Falls will continue to assist with developing partnerships between local and state government, developers, lenders, real estate professionals, and advocates for the elderly, persons with disabilities, and other low income persons, in order to continue to promote affordable housing and related services.

The focus groups input from agencies that assist these communities and community survey results indicate that those that are disabled and persons who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, are in need of affordable housing and services. The 2016 ACS data indicates that 12.5% reported a disability in Waterloo and 8.3% in Cedar Falls. In Waterloo, 5.5% of people under 18 years old, 21.6% of people 18 to 64 years old, and 61.4% of those 65 and over had a disability. In Cedar Falls, 4.4% of people under 18 years old, 12.6% of people 18 to 64 years old, and 60.3% of those 65 or older had a disability. The elderly represent a large percentage of persons that are disabled. What are the most common housing problems? The housing cost burden greater than 50% is the most common housing problem for both renters and homeowners. Over 51% of the extremely low income renters and 30% of the extremely low income homeowners experienced at least one type of severe housing problem, including lacking kitchen or complete plumbing, severe overcrowding, and/or a severe cost burden. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Approximately 59% of extremely low "other" renters and 41% of elderly homeowners were paying more than 30% of their income for housing. Eighty percent of extremely low "other" renters and 55% of elderly homeowners were paying more than 50% of their income for housing. Single family households with low to moderate incomes experienced the highest rates of crowding.

Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance No detailed information currently exists for Waterloo and Cedar Falls, but general information is available through the Balance of State Continuum of Care regarding state wide efforts. The Iowa Council of Homelessness oversees state-wide efforts to serve persons and families experiencing homelessness by targeting funding and programs, and coordinates with state agencies that provide support and services that best align with client needs. The Iowa Finance Authority, the Balance of State's collaborative applicant houses all CoC funding and other housing development funds, which allows for an intentional funding effort, which can be measured against Iowa's strategic plans.

The 2018 Waterloo Housing Needs Assessment estimated that in 2016 approximately 952 people who became homeless in Iowa listed their last permanent address in Black Hawk County. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness Increasing housing costs create instability and over -crowding can lead to an increased risk in homelessness in the local population. Focus group and community survey input has also identified that lack of services related to transportation and child care can create an impediment to employment. Additionally, limited access to mental health services and drug and alcohol addiction can also lead to instability. Discussion While the median income in the Consortium has increased by 38%, almost half of the households (42%) earn less than 80% HAMFI. Overall, approximately 23% of all households are experiencing 30% cost burden, while 13% of households are experiencing cost burdens of 50%. Persons that are experience cost burdens are more susceptible to homelessness.

Introduction HUD defines a disproportionately greater housing need when a racial or ethnic group experiences housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than for the income level as a whole. The 2011-2015 CHAS data table below summarizes the percentage of each racial/ethnic group experiencing housing problems by HUD Adjusted Median Family Income (AMFI) levels.

The majority of disproportionate need is with low-income populations, which includes Black and Asian households, and with moderate -income households, which includes Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic households. More minority households are experiencing greater needs in the moderate income range than had previously been identified. Waterloo also experiences racial minorities in racial concentrations by census track, which shows that neighborhood level of engagement with those communities is needed when working to provide safe and affordable housing opportunities but also when providing resources to improve situations. The demographics of the Consortium are changing it is important to consider how housing issues and cost burdens may be impacting minority populations, especially since many are recent arrivals to the area and may lack English language skills in addition to other needs.

Introduction HUD defines a disproportionately greater housing need when a racial or ethnic group experiences housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than for the income level as a whole. The distinction between housing problems and severe housing problems is the degree of cost burden and overcrowding. Severe housing problems include: • Housing units lacking complete kitchen facilities and/or complete plumbing facilities • Overcrowding (more than 1.5 person per room) • Cost burden greater than 50% Income classifications are as follows: 0%-30% AMFI is considered extremely low-income, 31%-50% AMI is low-income, 51%-80% AMI is moderate -income, and 81%-100% is middle-income.

Introduction HUD defines a disproportionately greater housing need when a racial or ethnic group experiences housing problems at a rate of 10 percentage points or greater than for the income level as a whole. The table below summarizes the percentage of each racial/ethnic group experiencing housing cost burden. Racial/ethnic groups are subdivided into the percentage of each racial/ethnic group paying less than 30% (no cost burden), between 31%-50% (cost burden), and above 51% (severely cost burden) of their gross income on housing costs. The column labeled no/negative income is the population paying 100% of their gross income on housing costs. This, however, is assuming that these households have housing costs. Based on this definition, the following household types experienced disproportionately greater housing cost burdens in Waterloo/Cedar Falls: • Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native households with housing cost burden paying over 51% • Asian households with household cost burden between 31-50% • Pacific Islander households with household burden paying less than 30% This information is summarized from the HUD CHAS data from 2011-2015 in the table below. The data reflects the HOME Consortium as a whole.

Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 44 Page 165 of 518 NA -30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion - 91.205 (b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? Overall, Asian, African-American, and Hispanic households appear to have a disproportionately greater need for affordable housing compared to other racial or ethnic groups based on the 2011-2015 CHAS data. The following is an overall summary of the disproportionately greater needs in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls HOME Consortium: Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems • Black households: low income • Asian households: low and moderate income • American Indian/Alaska Native: moderate income • Hispanic: moderate and middle income Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems • Asian households: low and moderate income • Hispanic: extremely low, low, moderate and middle income Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burden • Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native households with housing cost burden paying over 51% • Asian households with household cost burden between 31-50% • Pacific Islander households with household burden paying less than 30% If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? The needs have been identified above. Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? Low Moderate Income Areas The LMI percentage required for CDBG eligibility is 51% of residents. In the past, HUD has granted an "exception criterion" lower than 51% for Cedar Falls due to the City's shortage of LMI areas but Cedar Falls did not have an exception criterion in FFY18. According to HUD's FY18 estimates, Cedar Falls has an LMI population of 14,295 people, or 42.51% of the population. Of the 29 block groups with residential Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 45 Page 166 of 518 development completely or mostly located in Cedar Falls, 8 block groups are considered LMI. The same HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population. Waterloo HUD defines areas of racial or ethnic minority concentration as geographical areas where the percentage of minorities or ethnic persons is 10% higher than in the city overall. Waterloo has several census tracts that meet the criteria for areas of racial concentration, which is when a single minority/ethnic group exceeds at least 10% of the group's citywide average, as racial minorities comprised 23.8% of the population. In Waterloo, an area of racial concentration includes the Census tracts where the percentage of minority residents is 33.8% or higher. Those census tracts include 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 17.01, 17.02, 18, 19, and all those census tracts are included in the Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA). Census tracts 7, 8, and 11 are considered areas of concentration for Hispanic or Latinos. Census tract 3 shows an area of concentration for Asians, census tract 7 has a concentration of other races, while census tracts 1, 2, 5, 7, 17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19 are shown to be areas of racial concentration for Blacks/African-Americans. Cedar Falls No Census tract has a "concentration" of specific racial or ethnic minorities according to HUD's definition (10 percentage points higher than the citywide percentage). However, Census tract 23.04 (College Hill area) has the highest percentage of racial and ethnic minorities (11.8% and 4.0%, respectively, compared to 7.1% and 2% citywide). In Cedar Falls, racial and ethnic minorities comprised 7.1% and 2% of the population, respectively. Therefore, an area of racial or ethnic concentration includes the Census tracts where the percentage of minority residents is at or above 17.1% or 12%, respectively. Cedar Falls contains 9 census tracts, 7 of which are fully within the City limits, and two of which have most residential development within the City limits. Of these 9 Census tracts, none met the criteria for racial or ethnic concentration.

The Waterloo Housing Authority conducts regular maintenance of the facility but does not expect any Section 504 modifications or improvements at the facility. Currently there are 49 vouchers in use at Ridgeway Towers and all 49 are requesting some sort of disability accommodation. Eight of the residents at Ridgeway Towers are disabled, while 40 are elderly. The Waterloo Housing Authority had in 2013,108 applicants for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. As of January, 2019, the waitlist in Waterloo for Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers had been reduced to 882 households. The majority of those on the waitlist (79%) have extremely low -incomes and families with children and persons with disabilities represent the largest types of populations. Cedar Falls Cedar Falls as of 2013 had 433 applicants, while the December 2018 waitlist consists of 337 households. Currently, Cedar Falls has placed a moratorium on new applicants in order to best assist those that are currently awaiting assistance. Currently small families and households with disabilities represent the largest types of populations on the waitlist. Extremely low-income households (74%) represent the largest income bracket on the waitlist. What are the number and type of families on the waiting lists for public housing and section 8 tenant -based rental assistance? Based on the information above, and any other information available to the jurisdiction, what are the most immediate needs of residents of public housing and Housing Choice voucher holders? Cedar Falls Extremely low-income households comprise 74% of the waiting list, with 54% of the total being small families. White households make up 50% of the waitlist, while Black households represent 45% of the waitlist and comprise the largest minority group on the waitlist. One -bedroom units have the largest demand at 42%, followed by two-bedroom units. This shows that there is a continued need for affordable units for extremely low-income households with smaller units (one to two -bedrooms). Details of Cedar Falls Section 8 voucher holders and families on the waiting list appear in the following table. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 52 Page 173 of 518 Waterloo In Waterloo, 79% of the persons on the waitlist consist of extremely low income households, while families with children represent 44% and households and persons with disabilities represent 34% of those on the waitlist. Black households at 53% represent the largest minority on the waitlist, while White households represent 41% of the waitlist. One -bedroom units represent 61% of the bedroom size requested by applicants. The waitlist shows that there is continued demand for affordable units by households with extremely low-income households for smaller units. Details of Waterloo Section 8 voucher holders and families on the waiting list appear in the following table. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The housing needs of the Section 8 Voucher Holder Waiting Lists for both communities reflect the housing needs in both communities. The households with extremely low incomes, families with children, and families and individuals with disabilities have the highest need for affordable housing in both communities. In both communities, smaller units, specifically one- and two-bedroom units represent the largest need, but also reflect the types of housing most renters currently reside in Waterloo and Cedar Falls.

Discussion: While there has been a drop in the number of homeless persons identified in the Point -In -Time survey from 2017 to 2018, according to the 2018 Waterloo Housing Needs Assessment in 2016 approximately 952 people who became homeless in Iowa listed their last permanent address in Black Hawk County. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 56 Page 177 of 518 Additionally, the community surveys and focus groups have identified that there is need for the homeless shelters and services and that associated services, such as mental health services, drug and addiction services, affordable housing, removal of barriers to employment, and improved employment opportunities are equally important. In order to continue to reduce the rates of homelessness, all those factors must be continually address and programs and service needs will continue to require support.

Additional resources are available at the federal, state, and local levels that can be utilized by area organizations for additional assistance towards affordable housing and supportive services to the non -homeless special needs population in Waterloo and Cedar Falls. Waterloo and Cedar Falls rely on area non-profit organizations to provide many services to the non -homeless special needs populations. Both cities will continue to support the efforts of organizations that provide housing and supportive services to non -homeless special needs individuals. Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: The elderly and frail elderly, persons with severe mental illness, developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol/drug addictions, public housing residents, victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, and persons living with HIV/AIDS are considered special needs populations. Many persons with special needs also have very low incomes and supportive housing is needed within the communities in order to better serve these persons as they are unable to otherwise undertake activities of daily living without assistance. Elderly and Frail Elderly Housing for the elderly continues to be an ongoing need. According to the 2016 ACS data, 18.7% of the Waterloo population was 62 years or older, while in Cedar Falls 15.4% of the population was elderly. One of the issues faced by the elderly population is that 60% of those that at 65 or older are experiencing at least one disability. Housing needs for the elderly must account for disability needs, which add to housing costs. Persons with Mental, Physical, and/or Other Developmental Disabilities Not all persons with disabilities require supportive housing, but those that are unable to live with supportive family or are in need of help in basic life activities often require modifications to their living spaces that meet ADA standards and remove physical barriers. According to the 2016 ACS data, amongst the civilian non -institutionalized populations, 12.5% reported a disability in Waterloo and 8.3% in Cedar Falls. In Waterloo, 5.5% of people under 18 years old, 21.6% of people 18 to 64 years old, and 61.4% of those 65 and over had a disability. In Cedar Falls, 4.4% of people under 18 years old, 12.6% of people 18 to 64 years old, and 60.3% of those 65 or older had a disability. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 58 Page 179 of 518 There is continued need for affordable accessible housing and support activities that provide resources necessary to make improvements to their homes. Persons with disabilities are a subpopulation with high priority needs and along with the elderly and frail elderly, are given Section 8 preference. Funding has been dedicated in past years to support agencies that serve persons with disabilities and plan to continue this assistance. Persons with Alcohol/Drug Addictions Pathways Behavioral Services provides outpatient counseling and residential treatments for clients in recovery from alcohol and/or drug addiction. The agency treated 3,497 clients in 2018 through their outpatient programs. They provided treatment to 202 clients through their residential program. The residential and outpatient programs can have a waitlist from 1 day to up to two weeks at a time. Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families The Iowa Department of Public Health's Iowa Comprehensive HIV Plan 2017-2021 serves as a statewide guide to responsive, effective, and efficient HIV service delivery in Iowa. The Iowa HIV Disease End -of - Year 2017 Surveillance report provides an end of the year report on demographic data, which identified 110 persons in Black Hawk County as diagnosed with HIV/AIDS as of December 31st, 2017. Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides safe shelter, confidential services, and housing assistance to individuals in crisis due to homelessness, domestic violence, and sexual assault. In 2017, Cedar Valley Friends of the Family sheltered 72 women and 77 children from Black Hawk County at their 21 shelter facility and provided additional emergency sheltering through hotels to 62 women and 75 children from Black Hawk County, while the awaited for shelter availability. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? The non -homeless special needs populations in Waterloo and Cedar Falls have a wide range of service needs, including transitional housing, supportive housing, affordable housing, transportation to employment and health care providers, childcare assistance, counseling services (including financial and legal counseling), care managements, and education services, from labor skills, financial literacy, homebuyer education and similar services. Data and information for both communities were provided from responses from surveys and focus groups of organizations and agencies that serve these special needs populations, which were then analyzed to determine the priority of needs related to housing and supportive service needs. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 59 Page 180 of 518 Several priorities identified were common across the various subcategories of special needs populations. The need for affordable safe and sanitary housing was one such need, but so were transportation to employment and service, employment that provides livable wages, child care, and counseling services. Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: According to the State of Iowa HIV Disease End -of -Year 2017 Surveillance Report, an annual report released by the Iowa Department of Public Health, as of December 31, 2017, there were 100 residents of Black Hawk County currently living with diagnosed HIV/AIDS disease. The Iowa Department of Public Health currently provides data at the county level, which includes both cities as well as surrounding rural communities. The community survey identified that services for persons with HIV/AIDS were a low priority, but the community feedback may reflect that there is little community education and outreach on the service needs for persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. Discussion: Public services continue to be an important community need across all special needs populations and service needs include a wide variety, from housing, to counseling services, transportation and child care, access to employment, education, in addition to other public services. Due to the community needs and the wide spectrum of services, Waterloo and Cedar Falls work closely with non-profit organizations that provide these services in order to ensure needs are met. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 60 Page 181 of 518 NA -50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs - 91.415, 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities: For Waterloo and Cedar Falls, the non -housing community development needs are primarily public infrastructure improvements and public facility improvements. In addition, both communities fund some public agencies to provide services that can cover activities related to counseling, education, and outreach related to services needed by the communities. The public facility needs were determined through community wide surveys and consultation with service provides and stakeholders. Waterloo Feedback from the community identified that homeless shelters and services were of a high priority, as well as youth centers and activities, while improvements to parks recreational facilities were important but not considered a high priority need. Cedar Falls Feedback from a community -wide survey indicated that the greatest public facility needs for Cedar Falls residents are mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities, child care centers, homeless shelters, and youth centers. Additional needs according to City staff and resident feedback include bus shelter repairs and park, playground, and trail improvements. How were these needs determined? These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community development staff members. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: Infrastructure Public infrastructure in both eligible areas in Waterloo and Cedar Falls remains inadequate and the community and stakeholders provided input on the current infrastructure needs of the communities. Waterloo Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 61 Page 182 of 518 Community feedback identified cleanup of dilapidated lots and buildings, street improvements, street lighting, and water and sewer improvements were identified as the highest needs. There is continued need to clear vacant lots and eliminate dilapidated vacant structures from neighborhoods in order to assist with slum and blight. General street improvements are also needed in low income neighborhoods, not only with roadway infrastructure but also with improvements for all multi -modal users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit users, who may not have access to a car and find the associated infrastructure lacking. There are low income neighborhoods in Waterloo surrounded by four lane roadways that often create a physical barrier for people to enter and leave the neighborhood. The City of Waterloo has adopted a Complete Streets policy, which ensures infrastructure improvements include all types of users, but these types of infrastructure improvements will also assist in removing physical barriers, improve safety and provide beautification to low-income neighborhoods. The lack of street lighting in low income neighborhoods were identified as an issues, especially relating to safety concerns, and ensuring neighborhood in Waterloo have enough lighting. Finally, the aging water and sewer infrastructure was identified as another high need. In most cases, the aging infrastructure and extreme weather events caused issues with the infrastructure and many households were impacted with the associated costs due to sewer backups and flooding. All the proposed high priority needs are part of long term goals for Waterloo. Cedar Falls Generally speaking, respondents to a community -wide survey perceived less need for infrastructure improvements than for public facilities and services. The greatest infrastructure needs identified are street and sidewalk improvements. The latter can be critical for LMI homeowners, who may not be able to afford the improvements themselves. Additional needs identified by City staff — based on resident feedback and quantitative data on infrastructure conditions and future capacity needs — include bridge and culvert replacements, drainage improvements such as bio-swales and permeable alley paving, and streetscaping improvements. How were these needs determined? These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community development staff members. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: Waterloo Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 62 Page 183 of 518 The community survey and stakeholder focus groups identified services that assist with mental health, children and youth, including neglected and abuse services targeted to children, crime prevention, homeless needs, substance abuse needs and domestic violence, employment training, programs that assist with financial literary and planning as some of the highest priorities in Waterloo. There are other needs, such as legal services, transportation, health services, and community services that were identified as somewhat high need as well. Due to the scope of types of services and need in the community, the city often works closely with service providers in order to be more effective with assistance. Cedar Falls In tandem with the public facility needs identified by stakeholders, the greatest public service needs include mental health and substance abuse treatment services; more child care options, especially during evenings, weekends, and holidays; homeless assistance services, including more rapid re -housing options, and youth programming. Additionally, more public transportation service, including more routes and longer hours, was identified as a major need for LMI residents. How were these needs determined? These needs were determined through focus groups with agencies, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders, interviews, community wide surveys, and feedback discussions with community development staff members. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 63 Page 184 of 518 Housing Market Analysis MA -05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview: Housing Market Analysis Overview: The Consortium area has 43,113 occupied housing units. The number of housing units is comprised of 63.6% owner -occupied units and 36.4% rental units. A majority of the owner -occupied units have 3 or more bedrooms (70.1%), while the majority of rental -occupied units have 2 bedrooms (43.0%). The Waterloo/Cedar Falls area didn't experience the extreme housing boom and bust during before and after the Great Recession. Cedar Falls single-family value in 2016 for permitted single — family homes was at $219,367, while Waterloo had a home value of $151,048 rate in 2016. This pattern in home valuation differences has been consistent within the previous 10 years between the two communities. Home valuations in Cedar Falls and Waterloo have remained steady, with some fluxes over time. Development of new homes for both Waterloo and Cedar Falls has predominately taken place on greenfield sites, with little new development focused on infill lots. In Waterloo, many of the available infill sites are located in areas with extremely low property values, often lower than the cost of a new single-family home, causing lending difficulties for those that would like to construct in infill lots. Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity and a few projects through Hawkeye Community College are filling the gap in those infill locations. By utilizing non -profits to provide construction of single family homes, it may be possible to improve the land value in the infill areas and lead to better lending assistance for future infill construction. In Cedar Falls, infill lots are not common and pressure and demands mean that single family homes are sold to investors who can realize a higher rate of return by converting homes into multiple rental units. Recently, Cedar Falls provided an incentive for buyers who would convert rental properties back into single family homes in certain areas. In Cedar Falls, the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) has impacted the rental market due to student demands for off -campus housing, which artificially inflates the surrounding off -campus rental market, making it more difficult for non -student households to located affordable rental housing. Since 2011, Cedar Falls has permitted 435 new multi -family units since 2011, with 78 new multi -family units were permitted in 2016. Cost of Housing The average median value of a single family home in Cedar Falls was $160,700 in 2006 and in 2016 was $171,400, which is an increase of 6.2%. Waterloo housing has experienced a 4.1% increase in the median housing value since 2006. The median value of a home was $102,400 in 2006 and increased to $106,800 in 2016.

The data has identified one Cedar Falls census tract as having high lead risk and sixteen census tracts in Waterloo as having high risk. Approximately 80% of housing units in Waterloo that are > 80% AMI are considered to have lead-based paint. In Cedar Falls, it is estimated that 56% of housing units that are >80% AMI are considered to have lead-based paint hazards. Public and Assisted Housing Waterloo Housing Authority through Ridgeway Towers, a subsidized apartment complex, provides a 50 - unit senior public housing facility. The City of Cedar Falls administers 326 Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers, but due to funding allocations, only 205 are currently being utilized. The majority of Cedar Falls Housing Choice voucher recipients are located at Thunder Ridge Senior Apartments and The Villages / Park@Nine23 (formerly known as College Square Village). These developments were constructed with Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) financing.

Waterloo In 2016, Waterloo permitted 88 new single-family homes, 6 duplex units, and 12 multi -family buildings. This is the largest number of building permits issues in Waterloo since 2006. Between 2007 and 2012, Waterloo had experienced a downtown in the number of permits issued, reaching about half of the previously issues permits between 2010 and 2011. Since 2012, Waterloo experienced steady growth in the number of permits issued. The largest number of building permit type issued in Waterloo has been for single family homes, but there has been a steady growth in permits issued for multi -family buildings in the last four years. Waterloo has also seen consistent construction of duplex units and there were previously tri- and four-plex units permitted, though the numbers have dropped to zero since 2011. Overall, housing types tend to have a large variety in Waterloo. Waterloo had 31,233 housing units in 2016, which was slightly higher from 2010, when Waterloo was estimated to have 31,157 housing units. Vacant housing units were at 2,497 in 2010 and rose to 2,627 in 2016, approximately a 5% increase in vacancy. In 2016, rental vacancy rates were at 8.7%, while homeowner vacancy rates were at 1.8%. In Waterloo, in 2010 there were 9,482 renter occupied units, which increased to 10,542 units in 2016. During the same period, owner -occupied units declined from 19,178 in 2010 to 18,064 in 2016. Cedar Falls In 2016, Cedar Falls permitted 151 single-family homes and 78 multi -family homes. The number of permits is consistent with the number of permits issued in 2006. Between 2007 and 2010 no multi- family permits were issued, but as of 2011, 435 multi -family units were permitted. Single-family housing permits have remained steady and there was little impact from the recession on the single family housing construction in Cedar Falls. Unlike Waterloo, Cedar Falls has predominantly permitted single family homes and multi -family units, with on 16 tri- or four-plex units permitted in the 10 year period between 2006 and 2016. Cedar Falls had 15,594 total housing units in 2016, while in 2010 the total housing units were 14,762, which is a 5.3% increase in housing units. Vacant housing units were 784 in 2010, and rose to 1,087 units in 2016, which is a 28% increase in the housing vacancy. In 2016, rental vacancies were at 6%, while homeowner vacancy rates were at 2%.

During the same period, owner -occupied units increased from 8,931 in 2010 to 9,374 in 2016. The table below shows the number of building permits issues for both Waterloo and Cedar Falls from 2006 to 2016 and includes a variety of building structures permitted. In 2016, Waterloo permitted 88 new single-family homes, 6 duplex units, and 12 multi -family buildings. This is the largest number of building permits issues in Waterloo since 2006. In 2016, Cedar Falls permitted 151 single-family homes and 78 multi -family homes, which is on trend with previous years. Overall, Cedar Falls continues to permit approximately 1.5 times more units that Waterloo in 2016. While Waterloo issues permits to a variety of building types, Cedar Falls, continues to permit primarily single-family and multi -family units. The larger number of multi -family units permitted in Cedar Falls is most likely due to the location of the University of Northern Iowa, though, multi -family buildings are being developed in the downtown area.

Due to low incomes and the limited tax base on Waterloo, there will be continued need for affordable housing in the city. HUD funded housing projects continue to serve the needs of the community. Federal HOME and CDBG funds, as well as Healthy Homes and Lead -Paint Hazard program funds will continue to play an important role in completing Waterloo's objectives. The three year Lead -Paint Hazard Grant from HUD continues to allow Waterloo to partner with the Black Hawk County Health Department for conducting blood lead level testing and conducting assessments for both owner occupied and rental properties, clearance testing, training events, and educational outreach. Additionally, the City of Waterloo will continue to partner with local agencies and non -profits in order to improve neighborhood conditions and improve existing housing stock and improve the housing market conditions. Cedar Falls Cedar Falls currently receives CDBG funds from HUD and HOME funds through the Waterloo and Cedar Falls HOME Consortium. The funding sources will utilized to help support new programs focused on housing rehabilitation, new affordable housing projects, home buyer assistance programs, and homeless outreach and prevention programs. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. Cedar Falls has five (5) privately owned, subsidized developments: The Villages (formerly known as College Square Village). This is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) development built in two phases, 64 units each, serving elderly and disabled households. The Villages are part of a larger complex of apartment buildings known as Park@Nine23, which includes market -rate apartments as well. Both phases of The Villages are nearing the end of their 30 -year affordability period, with rent restrictions for Villages I and II expiring in 2021 and 2025, respectively.

Waterloo According to the 2018 Housing Needs Assessment, HUD CHAS data shows that while housing in Waterloo continues to have lower median values than those for the state of Iowa, there are severe cost burdened households throughout Waterloo, due to low wages. In addition, the 2018 Housing Needs Assessment identified that Waterloo has extensive substandard housing, which exceeds the available resources that target rehabilitation improvements needed. Affordable rental units tend to be low quality and located in less desirable neighborhoods and there is need for subsidized rentals that are available for seniors and people with disabilities. Cedar Falls In Cedar Falls, there continues to be a tight housing market and few opportunities for infill development sites. This is resulting in increased rental and sale rates for properties, leading to an increasingly unaffordable housing market. Describe the need for specific types of housing: Waterloo and Cedar Falls have two different housing markets. In the past Waterloo was less expensive and had more renter -occupied housing, while the Cedar Falls housing market was more expensive and tended to be more owner -occupied. In 2016, Waterloo continues to have a less expensive housing market, while Cedar Falls has a more expensive housing market. Both communities show similar proportions of renters to homeowners in 2016, with renters making up 35.4% of the Cedar Falls housing market and Waterloo 36.9% of their respective housing market. The difference is that tenants in Waterloo tend to be more low-income, while a large proportion of the Cedar Falls renters are students. Still, both communities need to provide more affordable housing, as increased housing costs in Cedar Falls, are increasing home prices, and in Waterloo low wages are leading to severe costs burdened households. Additionally, there is a continued need for senior housing as well as housing for people with disabilities in both communities. Waterloo has a lot of vacant lots in low-income neighborhoods but due to the cost of construction and low property value of those neighborhoods, there is little demand for infill development. In Cedar Falls, there are fewer infill sites, and more development is in greenfield sites, which lead to additional costs related to new infrastructure costs, increasing new construction costs. Discussion Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 70 Page 191 of 518 While new construction is taking place in the Consortium, the majority is located in Cedar Falls, and the newer construction is generally not affordable housing. Waterloo is experiencing an increase in rental units and in 2016 the rental vacancy was at 8.7% but there continues to not be enough affordable housing to meet the needs of the community. In Cedar Falls, while there are new single family and multi -family units being constructed, they are not affordable.

Home values did not experience the fast run-up and there was not a steep crash in home values or high rates of foreclosures in the area. Home values in both Cedar Falls and Waterloo are continuing to experience a steady increase, at 20% and 17% respectively. The 2016 average home sales price in Waterloo was $106,800 and in Cedar Falls it was $171,400. Cost of Housing The median home values in both Cedar Falls and Waterloo have increased in the last 16 years, with a 20% increase for Cedar Falls and a 17% increase for Waterloo. The rates reflect similar patterns in increases in median home value as seen between 2000 and 2010, showing the trend remains consistent. Cedar Falls, has a median home value of $171,400, while Waterloo, the median home value was at $106,800, showing that home values continue to differ in the two communities. The cost of housing continues to show a steady increase in both communities. Median contract rents have continued to increase in both communities since 2000, in Waterloo increasing by 6%, while in Cedar Falls is has increased by 15%. Both communities have seen a large increase in rents, showing that rentals are becoming more expensive in both communities.

Affordable housing in both communities is limited and housing costs increases are outpacing income growth. In Waterloo, the housing stock is older and while affordable when compared to Cedar Falls, the housing cost burdens are increasing, especially for minorities, and there has been an increase in those considered to be experiencing severe cost burden. Half of all renters and a third of all homeowners are considered to be cost burdened. When compared to previous analysis from 2012, the amount of population has remained steady. In Cedar Falls, housing affordability continues to be an issue for low income households as landlords often rent properties at rates much higher than fair market rents due to the location and impact of the University. While different issues are at play, both communities are experiencing a need for more affordable units. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? In Waterloo, there are existing vacant lots available for infill development, but many of these properties are located in neighborhoods with high rates of poverty and surrounding property values are significantly lower than the cost of any new construction. Lending for the development of these properties is very difficult and a cooperative effort with neighborhood groups, non-profit agencies, and the City of Waterloo are key to fill the gap and improve development in infill properties. Efforts are ongoing to improve infill redevelopment, with a multi -pronged effort to provide new and rehabilitated housing in targeted areas and also improve the surrounding neighborhood market value in order make redevelopment in those key areas more sustainable and favorable to market conditions. In Cedar Falls, housing costs are impacted by the lack of available infill development. New greenfill development is associated with higher infrastructure costs, which often translate to higher costs for the homebuyer. With the steady grown in housing cost, it would be important that the city ensure that affordable housing is retained and that incentives are provided for new construction housing to provide affordable housing. There are more multi -family units being constructed, but many are either targeted to University students or to those in higher income brackets and often offer amenities that associated with higher costs. With the increased amount of development, especially with multi -family units, it may Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 74 Page 195 of 518 be assumed that due to the large number of new units, that may not reflect the population growth in Cedar Falls, units may be priced more competitively. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The HOME rent and Fair Market Rents are comparable to the area median rents, which are $691 for Cedar Falls and $568 for Waterloo. In Waterloo, 95% of rent is below $1000, with 63% of rent in the range between $500 and $999. The majority of Waterloo renters rent two-bedroom units, which according to Fair Market Rent should be $765, which is approximately the average of what most Waterloo residents are paying. In Cedar Falls, 58% of renters pay between $500 and $999, while 19% of renters pay below $500 and 15% of renters pay between $1000 and $1499. While rent is more affordable in Waterloo compared to Cedar Falls, when accounting for housing cost burdens, there is need for affordable rent in both communities. Renter median incomes are much lower than owner incomes and significantly more renters are experiencing housing cost burdens. Additionally, there are currently over 1,000 Section 8 Housing Choice voucher holders in Waterloo and over 300 in Cedar Falls, with 882 persons on the Waterloo waiting list and 337 on the Cedar Falls waitlist, which currently has a moratorium on new applications. Discussion While rents are comparable to the HOME and Fair Market Rents when overall trends are examined, additional analysis shows that renters have higher cost burdens, showing that there is continued need for affordable housing in both communities, especially as housing costs burdens for homeowners and renters have changed little over time and may worsen over time. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 75 Page 196 of 518 MA -20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing - 91.410, 91.210(a) Introduction There are differences in the quality of housing stock between Waterloo and Cedar Falls, which may not be visible when examining consolidated Consortium data. In Waterloo, when examining the location of older housing stock at the census tract levels, it often corresponds with areas that have high levels of low- to moderate -income people and also areas of racial concentrations. When examined generally, the trends become more generalized and not as obvious. Based on the 2016 American Community Survey results, 84% of owner -occupied units in the Consortium are not selected as having any of the variables considered as housing deficiencies. Housing deficiencies includes a lack of complete plumbing, lack of complete kitchen facilities, overcrowding (more than one person per room), and cost burden greater than 30%. In comparison, 50% of renter -occupied units identified either one or two or more of these conditions. Make stakeholders commented that the quality of affordable housing is very poor and substandard. Describe the jurisdiction's definition for "substandard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation: For Waterloo, the definition for "substandard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation" is outlined in the city's Single Family Owner -Occupied Housing Assistance Program Policies and Procedures manual. Deficiencies are considered to be any conditions that fail to "meet the adopted International Property Maintenance Code or the Property Standards adopted by this program, whichever is greater." In Cedar Falls, the definition for "substandard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation" is outlines in the city's Manual for Housing Rehabilitation Programs. The property must need rehabilitation to meet current Housing Quality Standards and the Cedar Falls Building Code. These items include correcting code violations, energy conservations, accessibility modifications, and fire safety measures. Year Unit Built The majority of housing units built in Waterloo and Cedar Falls, including both owner -occupied and renter -occupied housing, were constructed between 1950 and 1979. Since 2000, 12% of new housing was owner occupied, while 7% was occupied by renters. When looking at building permits issues, Cedar Falls has the majority of new housing units, including multi -family units. Between 2006 and 2016, Waterloo issued 979 new building permits (building types include single-family, duplex, tri- and four- plex, and multi -family), while during the same time period, Cedar Falls issued 2379 building permits, showing that a greater proportion of new housing was located in Cedar Falls. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 76 Page 197 of 518 Risk of Lead -Based Paint Hazard Using data provided by HUD, it is possible to estimate using approximations for the number of housing units that may contain lead-based paint and are occupied by LMI households. Households that are LMI are often cost -burdened, and may not have funds available to abate their home from lead -paint hazards. Additionally, renters may not be aware of the lead -paint hazard on their property and they may not be aware that lead -pain is a hazard and that the landlord should provide notice when it is known that there is lead paint in the property. The following tables indicate an estimate of the number of lead- based units separated by income level. It should be noted that CHAS data provides data from 1960 to 1979, which includes the single year after lead-based paint was prohibited. Because the majority of housing was constructed between 1950 and 1979, the data provided includes the 19 year period from 1960-1979. In Waterloo, of the 8,360 units occupied by <50% AMI households, 79% of all units are estimated to have lead -paint, while >50% to 80% AMI households 83% are estimated at risk of having lead paint. In Cedar Falls, it is estimated that <50% AMI of occupied units, 69% are estimated to have lead -paint, while 75% of occupied units that have >50% to 80% AMI households have lead paint. The Iowa Department of Public Health has also created a state wide mapping project to identify areas of high risk from lead -paint hazards. The areas are identified by census tract. The model uses several variables to determine lead risk, which include housing built before 1950, poverty of children under 6, and language other than English spoken at home. In general terms, one census tract (25) in Cedar Falls shows high risk, while the remaining census tracts show moderate risk. In Waterloo, 16 census tracts are identified as having a high lead risk. The majority of census tracts are located in areas of high poverty and are areas of racial concentrations.

Waterloo In Waterloo, the community wide survey identified several neighborhood areas as having the greatest need, which included the East Side neighborhoods along East 4th Street, Church Row, and the neighborhoods near the former Rath Packing Company. These neighborhoods have aging homes, high areas of poverty, and also include areas of racial concentrations. Overall, 15 out of 27 census tracts in Waterloo, the majority which abut downtown on both side of the Cedar River and in the East Side have concentrations of LMI households, are considered areas with racial concentrations, have the majority of the older housing stocks, and have been identified by the Iowa Department of Health as areas of high lead risk. The combination of all these factors play a role in the continued decline of these neighborhoods and continued efforts needed to reduce slum and blight. Cedar Falls In Cedar Falls, the North Cedar neighborhood continues to be impacted by flooding and is an LMI census block. The previously conducted Cedar Falls Comprehensive Plan reviewed housing conditions, and identified that older neighborhoods in the city were some of the few areas where there was deteriorating housing stock. The Cedar Falls 2020 Strategic Plan identified neighborhoods that could part of revitalizations plans, including North Cedar, College Hill, and Overman Park. This includes efforts in providing high density housing in North Cedar, which has lost a lot of population due to consecutive flooding. The College Hill neighborhood is around the University of Northern Iowa's campus, and has high concentrations of rental units, both multi -family and single family homes, which tend to be in poorer condition, and may include many illegally converted multi -family units. Estimate the number of housing units within the jurisdiction that are occupied by low or moderate income families that contain lead-based paint hazards. 91.205(e), 91.405 Current estimates show that in the HOME Consortium there are 2,705 owner occupied units built before 1980 where there are children below the age of 6, while there are 2,068 renter occupied units with children below the age of 6. This shows that both owner occupied and rental both have need for lead paint hazard remediation. The Iowa Department of Health has identified one Cedar Falls census tract and 16 census tracts in Waterloo with high lead risks. Approximately 80% of housing units in Waterloo that are > 80% AMI are considered to have lead based paint. In Cedar Falls, it is estimated that 56% of housing units that are >80% AMI are considered to have lead-based paint hazards. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 80 Page 201 of 518 Discussion Overall, about 16% of owner -occupied units have at least one condition, while 50% of rentals have at least one or more condition issues in the Consortium. The majority of all housing, both rental (75%) and owner -occupied (76%), were built before 1979, showing that the housing infrastructure aging. Additionally the age of rental properties combined with the amount of units experiencing condition issues, reflects that there is need for safer and sanity rental units. The community wide survey that Waterloo conducted reflects that Waterloo residents considered lead based hazards a low community need. Data provided in the analysis indicates that Waterloo continues to have high lead -paint hazards, in part due to the aging housing infrastructure and higher rates of poverty that makes it harder for property owners to make their properties lead -safe. In addition, high rates of renters, including many who may not speak English as a first language, may not be aware of lead paint hazards. Waterloo was awarded the Lead Paint Hazard grant from HUD, which will target 120 units and includes both owner -occupied and rental units, with work beginning in 2018. There is continued need to education and conduct outreach to the community regarding the hazards of lead paint and to provide assistance to both homeowners and renters with lead paint hazard abatement.

The Capital Fund Program has identified the following activities that are proposed to be completed in the next 5 years. The activities include elevator upgrades, replacements of front interior entry doors, relocate or remove Call - for -Aid units, add LED lighting in parking lot, remodel all apartment kitchens and community room, landscaping updates including fencing, repair and replace the building roof. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low - and moderate -income families residing in public housing: The Waterloo Housing Authority provides several programs that provide assistance for improving the living environment for residents. The programs include Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS), Down Payment Assistance Program, Homeownership Assistance Program, and Veteran Assisted Supported Housing. In addition to these programs, the Waterloo Housing Authority provides a variety of on-site basic health screening and exercise programs for residents of Ridgeway Towers. Additional information on the various programs is available below: Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) The Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) program is targeted towards families that are both low-income and receive housing assistance through Section 8. The program participants receive resources including housing assistance, an escrow savings account, and additional access to community resources that will help improve their situation, whether through job training, education, improved employment, in order to grow their income and improve and stabilized their financial standing. Participating families must agree to a Contract of Participation, which identifies the family needs and goals for become self- sufficient. A large component of the program is case management, which provides assistance with finding and accessing community resources. An important component of the FSS is the creation of an escrow savings account which provides a way for families to save and meet their goals and action plan. An escrow savings account is created when the family starts earning income, which increases the Total Tenant Payment (TTP) towards rent. As the TTP increases, the difference is put into an interest-bearing escrow account. The funds are made available to the family once the contract is successfully completed. Down Payment Assistance Program Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 84 Page 205 of 518 In effort to increase homeownership, the Waterloo Housing Authority administers a down payment assistance program targeted towards first time home buyers who are both low- to moderate -income households and would not otherwise pursue homeownership. The eligibility requirements for program participants include: • An applicant must have successfully complete Home Buyer Training provided by the Waterloo Housing Authority • An applicant must be a current resident of Waterloo for at least one year • An applicant must be a first time homebuyer defined as neither applicant (including spouse) having ownership in a home or title to a mortgage with the last 36 months • The applicant may not own other residential property • The applicant should be responsible for covering closing funds from their own funds • Total family income may not exceed 80% of the area median income Section 8 Home Ownership Voucher Program Eligible participants are able to utilize Section 8 Home Ownership Voucher towards the purchase of a home instead of renting a unit. The participation is limited to 3% of the budgeted program in any fiscal year, excluding disabled and elderly families. The program is available to current Section 8 participants who have completed their initial 12 month lease. Other eligibility requirements for program participants includes those who do not owe any funds to the Waterloo Housing Authority or any other public housing agency, and who are not in violation of their family obligations while receiving Section 8 assistance. Veteran Assisted Supported Housing The Veteran Assisted Supported Housing program is new and will be implemented FY2019. The Waterloo Housing Authority will assign 9 vouchers to qualifying veterans. The program is linked with the Iowa City Veteran's Hospital where participants will receive support services in addition to housing support. Discussion: The Waterloo Housing Authority is unable to utilize all available vouchers due to limited funds and the Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Agency has placed a moratorium on their Section 8 Voucher List due to high demand but lack of available affordable housing. There is continued demand for assistance in the Consortium, and the WHA continues to provide programs to help assist with improving self-sufficiency in order to ensure success for those that are part of the Section 8 Voucher program Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 85 Page 206 of 518 Introduction Homeless persons and families in Waterloo and Cedar Falls can access several facilities, including emergency shelters, transitional housing facilities, and permanent supportive housing facilities. The majority of these facilities are located in Waterloo. Data in the tables below reflect facility information reported in the 2018 Waterloo Housing Needs Assessment.

The majority of the organizations service both Waterloo and Cedar Falls. The services provided by the organizations are a vital component in the Continuum of Care process. Both the Waterloo Housing Authority and the Cedar Falls Low Rent Housing Agency are the local administrators of HUD's Section 8 and Family Self -Sufficiency programs, by providing housing assistance in order to provide homelessness prevention. Both programs are limited with how many of the assigned vouchers that they can provide due to limited funds. Area organizations and non -profits that are focused on administering services and programs to reduce homelessness include: Northeast Iowa Food Bank, Cedar Valley United Way, Operation Threshold, Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center, Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, Friends of the Family, Exceptional Persons, Inc., Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Goodwill Industries, Community Housing Initiatives, Cedar AIDS Support System, Pathways Behavioral Services, Inc., House of Hope, YWCA and faith based organizations such as the Salvation Army, Eastside Ministerial Alliance, Catholic Charities, St. Vincent de Paul, Hope4Healing, and LOVE, Inc. These organizations provide a variety of services to their clientele, including services such as counseling, case management, food assistance, transportation, clothing and household goods, life skill training, financial literacy classes and foreclosure prevention counseling, and victim advocacy. The variety of activities that are available help residents with developing skills and the knowledge needed to successfully transition into permanent supportive housing or independent living and maintaining steady employment. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP -40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations. Emergency Shelters The Salvation Army operates two emergency shelters in Waterloo. The shelters include an 18 -bed facility for single men, and there is separate 32 -bed facility for women and children. Catholic Worker House provides 22 beds for both men and women in their facility. Children under the age of 18 in need of temporary housing are placed in the county's youth shelter, a non -secured facility that provides short termed care. The youth shelter primarily serves victims of physical of sexual abuse, children whose family are experiencing a crisis, children awaiting foster care or group home placement, and children referred directly from a psychiatric unit. Transitional Housing Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 87 Page 208 of 518 Several facilities in Waterloo provide transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. House of Hope, a privately funded organization, provides 10 units with 24 beds and currently has a waitlist for families in need of assistance. Additionally, the program will begin to provide transitional housing to up to 5 women who are transitioning out of foster care, in order to provide a stop gap and reduce homelessness in the that population. Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides through their two programs offer a total of 63 beds, with 46 beds for families, and 17 beds for adults only. Their programs are targeted to domestic violence survivors. The Junkman-Knoebel Center, which is run by Pathways Behavioral Services, provides 25 beds for men who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Residents must maintain employment, commit to sobriety, and continue to meet obligations, such as court costs, restitution, child support, and any other transitional living fees incurred. Permanent Supportive Housing Community Housing Initiatives offers permanent supportive housing and operates a 13 -bed facility, with one family unit with two beds, and 11 adult only -beds. Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides group homes to adults with mental retardation, brain injury, or chronic mental illness. Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides a range of services to accommodate the needs of individuals and families in need by providing assistance with locating affordable rental housing, transportation services, and employment and family and child support. Unity Square Apartments, a previously HOME funded project, provides 6 units targeted towards permanent supportive housing for the homeless. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 88 Page 209 of 518 MA -35 Special Needs Facilities and Services - 91.410, 91.210(d) Introduction Community needs are determined by the agencies that provide social services or housing related services, since they directly work with the special needs populations of both Cedar Falls and Waterloo. Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs The elderly population continues to have the largest need in both communities. There are a variety of services available that target the needs of area elderly. Priorities for the Elderly/Frail Population Waterloo and Cedar Falls will continue to provide support to agencies and organizations that develop affordable housing for the elderly and frail, or provide services that assist with providing a safe environment at the current residence. While affordable housing needs are in demand for this population, limited funding allocated to the Consortium, has not permitted the allocation of funds to projects that solely assist the elderly and frail. Existing programs, such as Waterloo's rehabilitation program and ramp assistance programs have allowed existing homes to become safe for senior homeowners. Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls also provide assistance to organizations that provide rehabilitation, ramp, and support services to the elderly and frail. Priorities for Persons with Disabilities Waterloo and Cedar Falls both have persons with disabilities identified as a population with high priority needs. Persons with disabilities, as well as the elderly and frail, are given Section 8 preference, and area landlords are willing to provide modifications in order to accommodate the needs of voucher holders with disabilities, when these types of changes take place. Both cities have continued to commit to provide funding support to local agencies that provide support and serve persons with disabilities within the two communities. There is currently no available information on the supportive housing needs for persons with drug or alcohol addictions, or for persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. There is evidence of growing drug use within the community according to the Iowa Department of Public Health and there may be increased need in the community. Currently, The Waterloo Section 8 HCV has 34% of families that are disabled, while for Cedar Falls, there are 31% of individuals/families that are disabled on the waitlist. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 89 Page 210 of 518 Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board has established discharge policies to protect populations, especially those that that vulnerable to homelessness, based on policies that were implemented by the State of Iowa. The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board adopted the FY 2018 Black Hawk/Grundy/Tama Coordinated Service Region Policies and Procedures Manual for Coordinated Entry as part of the Balance of State Continuum of Care (BoS CoC) and their guiding principles include the adoption of statewide standards, providing client choice regarding program participation, promote client -centered practices, prioritize the most vulnerable, collaboration between CoC provides and other agencies and key partners, provide accurate data, utilize performance -drive decision making, having a housing first focus by providing permanent supportive housing to those experiencing chronic homelessness, and ensuring transparency of the process. Foster Care Discharge Iowa law mandates that the case permanency plan for all children in foster care include a written transition plan for youth aged 16 years and older. In 2005 the Iowa Council on Homelessness developed their Discharge Planning Guiding Principles, which established a transition planning process for children existing foster care at 18 years of age. Locally, the House of Hope has provided five placements that will be used by women transitioning out of foster care and the program will assist with finding housing in order to assist with the transition out of foster care. Health Care Discharge Iowa's Administrative Code, 481, Chapter 58, Section 23 for the Department of Inspections and Appeals provides regulation for discharge from nursing facilities that include: discharge planning initiated at entrance, proper notification of next of kin upon discharge, proper arrangements made for the welfare of the resident/patient in the event of emergency or inability to reach next of kin, provision of client records to any receiving institution, and prior to the transfer or discharge of a resident to another health care facility, arrangements to provide for continuity of care with the receiving facility. Mental Health Discharge All Iowa Mental Health Institutions (MHIs) are licensed hospitals. The Iowa Department of Human Services has developed detailed discharge policies for MHIs. Discharge planning begins at admission and is part of an individual's ongoing individual treatment plan. Living arrangements are included, as are other supportive services required, such as transportation, nutrition, medical care, social supports, education, and funding arrangements. The Iowa Council of Homelessness seeks to participate in continuing discharge policy planning with board members representing the Iowa Departments of Elder Affairs, Human Services, Public Health, and the Iowa VA.

The Consortium is developing a new Al in FY 2019 that will identify current public policies that may impede housing choice for members of the protected classes. The following major findings and conclusions were identified in the 2014 analysis: 1. No strategy to meet the market needs of the growing limited -English-speaking population have been introduced. 2. There is a growing mismatch between real income and housing cost. 3. It is difficult for large families and people with disabilities to access quality, affordable, suitable housing. 4. The gap between White and minority median household incomes, unemployment rates, and homeownership rates is large and growing. 5. The supply of larger housing units may not match the demand from protected classes. 6. The City of Waterloo's zoning provisions regarding group homes limit their capacity to integrate into the community. 7. The strict definition of family imposes a barrier to the formation on non-traditional households. 8. The Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission does not have the capacity to assertively enforce the provisions of the municipal human rights ordinance. 9. The indefinite closure of the Northeast Iowa Center of Independent Living and cancellation of MET's Prime Time Pass program severely limits access to elderly and disabled residents, as well as employees working atypical hours. 10. A lack of transit connections to growing commercial corridors and suburban employment areas limits job access as well as access to community assets. 11. Ongoing patterns of disparity in private lending may indicate mortgage discrimination. 12. Testing for housing discrimination has not been conducted recently, despite positive results from the previous test and complaints of steering within the housing market. 13. Fair housing issues exist within both Waterloo and Cedar Falls' Nuisance Properties and Rental Inspection ordinances.

Consolidated Plan WATERLOO OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 96 Page 217 of 518 The Manufacturing sector is the largest employment sector in the Waterloo, which accounts for 8.7% of share of all jobs. Following the Manufacturing sector, Education and Health Care Services sector accounts for the second highest number of jobs in the region with 22.1% of all jobs. The Retail Trade sector is the third highest at 11.2% of the total share of jobs. Waterloo is home to 35,362 jobs, and currently only 28,464 of the employees live within 30 minutes of Waterloo. Nine percent of the workforce commutes from outside the area to Waterloo their employment. Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: The 2017 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) identified the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community. Workforce The first goal identified in the CEDS was to attract, retain, and expand business in the region, and included the need to diversify the region's economic base and to facilitate economic growth. The second goal focused on workforce needs, including increasing the number of people in the workforce, improved skills and increase education levels for the existing workforce, produce general and skilled laborers, and improve the quality of life in order to recruit and retain the workforce. The third goal identified the importance of affordable housing for the workforce as well as the need of a variety of housing types. All of these elements play a vital role in maintaining and improving the workforce of the region. The Education and Health Services sector is growing in the region and CEDS noted that there was a lack of skilled employees that could provide the growing needs and services. It is important to maintain and develop training and apprenticeship programs utilizing Hawkeye Community College and other workforce partners, and continue to provide training and education resources for non-traditional students. Affordable housing for the workforce was noted as an important element, including utilizing CDBG and HOME funds, promoting workforce/affordable housing near employment, support infill development in vacant lots and blighted areas, implement owner -occupied rehabilitation programs to assist the community housing stock, and support development to support living environments for the elderly, are some of the key elements identified by the CEDS. Infrastructure The CEDS identified the need to maintain, update, and invest in new infrastructure to water and sewer lines, waste facilities, broadband networks, and energy development and transmission as well as maintaining and upgrading community facilities. Goal 5 of the CEDS identified transportation as an important factor, including providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation network. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 97 Page 218 of 518 Infrastructure improvements include assisting communities with financial resources in order to improve needed infrastructure improvements, maintaining and investing in public facilities, expanding broadband infrastructure networks, and improve renewable energy and promote sustainability to reduce long term costs. Additional regional and local transportation networks were identified as important to ensure economic vitality in the region. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. Continued investment is needed in Waterloo in order to ensure that business growth opportunities take place. The Region 7 Local Service Plan for July 1, 2016 —June 30, 2020 identified by 2022, 55% of employment in Iowa will be focused on middle skills jobs and within Region 7, the following sectors may provide new employment opportunities: information technology, healthcare, utilities, and manufacturing. The plan has identified that there is a shortage of qualified workers with middle skills to fill those types of jobs. Education and training opportunities, including for non-traditional students will be vital to meet employer needs. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? The CEDS identified the continued need for skilled labor and investment in providing education and training in order to ensure that there is a skilled labor force available, especially as other employment sectors are seeing growth and to continue to provide labor for the manufacturing sector, but to also help better match employer needs with the employee skillset. Currently 60% of the workforce has some college, an Associate's, or a Bachelor's degree or higher. The Region 7 Local Service Plan identified that in Region 7, 22.3% of employers are in need of workers with basic skills like literacy and numeracy, 30% of employers are in need of workers with soft skills like timeliness, customer service skills, and interpersonal skills, and 38.6% of employers are in need of employers with analytical, managerial, physical, and knowledge experience. Additionally, credentials and licenses are needed for middle skills jobs, included CNA certification in the healthcare sector, or CNC certification, heavy equipment operations, and similar skills in manufacturing, and computer and software literacy, project management, and other general office skills. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The Region 7 Workforce Service Plan has identified the following pose -secondary institutions in the region: Allen College, Kaplan University, Hawkeye Community College, University of Northern Iowa, Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 98 Page 219 of 518 Upper Iowa University, and Wartburg College, which have all been partners with the Region 7 Workforce for jobs fairs. Currently the Region 7 Workforce currently partners with Hawkeye Community College to develop Career Pathways in advanced manufacturing and healthcare. The Region 7 Workforce also partners with AEL for high school completion and English Language Learning classes. Additional efforts include expanding services to underserved populations and clients experiencing barriers to employment, work closely to maintain and sector partnerships in order to reflect regional needs, continued efforts to align education and training opportunities with high demand careers, work to establish one-stop system for both employers and employees, and integrate the education and training opportunities with the needed skills and education for the jobs, including middle skills jobs in the region. As of 2016, the unemployment in Black Hawk County was 4.1% but when unemployment is examined along racial/ethnic demographics, Black and African American unemployment rates were at 24.7%, Asian unemployment was at 8.1%, and Hispanic unemployment rates were at 6.9%. Efforts to provide resources, education, and skill training should ensure that underserved populations are included in the process are vital to improve the economic standings of the high unemployment populations, especially since the high unemployment is reflected in the housing needs and costs burdens faced by the same communities. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. Economic development activities in the past were limited due to limited available CDBG funds and the scale and resources needed for economic development initiatives. Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls will continue to be support of such initiatives and consider funding opportunities when feasible, especially when the align with the identified goals of the Consolidated Plan. Activities like outreach and education of available resources, especially at the neighborhood level may help reach underserved populations. Discussion There is continued need for both economic development in Waterloo, to ensure that there are a variety of opportunities within the community, but also need for providing employees with the needed skills and education so that they may be able to be employed in the growing job sectors in the area. Additionally, there are discrepancies in unemployment along racial/ethnic populations, and there is a need to target those communities to help bridge the high unemployment rates. These discrepancies are reflected in the cost burdens experienced in the minority populations and their spatial distribution within Waterloo as seen in the areas of racial concentrations. Improving skills and access to labor, Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 99 Page 220 of 518 including removing potential barriers to employment, including transportation and child care availability, will have an impact in reducing areas of poverty. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 100 Page 221 of 518 MA -50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") There are areas in both Waterloo and Cedar Falls where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated. Waterloo In Waterloo, census tracts 1, 2, 3, 7, 17.01, and 18 have been identified by HUD's AFFH tool mapper as areas were 40%-50% of households are experiencing any of the four identified housing problems. The census tracts are areas that correspond with higher rates of LMI populations and areas of racial concentrations. Cedar Falls In Cedar Falls, census tracts 23.03 and 23.04 were identified as areas where housing problems were concentrated. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Waterloo Waterloo has several census tracts that meet the criteria for areas of racial concentration, where the percentage of a single minority or ethnic group exceeds at least 10% of the group's citywide average. Those census tracts include 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 17.01, 17.02, 18, 19, and all those census tracts are included in the Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA). Census tracts 7, 8, and 11 are considered areas of concentration for Hispanic or Latinos. Census tract 3 shows an area of concentration for Asians, while census tracts 1, 2, 5, 7, 17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19 are shown to be areas of racial concentration for Blacks/African-Americans. Cedar Falls No Census tract has a "concentration" of specific racial or ethnic minorities according to HUD's definition (10 percentage points higher than the citywide percentage). However, Census tract 23.04 (College Hill area) has the highest percentage of racial and ethnic minorities (11.8% and 4.0%, respectively, compared to 7.1% and 2% citywide). What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 101 Page 222 of 518 In Waterloo these neighborhoods are characterized with having an older housing stock and the majority of the census tracts identified as areas of racial concentration also have been identified as areas with higher lead risk. Additionally, these census tracts also have higher rate of poverty and noted as areas where low and moderate income (LMI) persons are concentrated. The LMI percentage required for CDBG eligibility is 51% of residents. These areas and neighborhoods have also higher rates of vacancy, lower property value, higher poverty and unemployment, and tend to be areas of slum and blight. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The Waterloo School District has constructed new public schools in those areas, and new redevelopment is taking place in the Waterloo downtown, including public facilities and amenities, new businesses are locating to the downtown and surrounding corridor, including the new Hawkeye Community College Adult Learning Center, new hotel, and multi -family apartment complex, and a new grocery store and the new Boys and Girls Club Teen Center are both located in one of the surrounding neighborhoods, which are starting to help revitalize the Waterloo core and surrounding areas. Many of the LMI and areas of racial concentration are neighborhoods that are located adjacent to the downtown. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? In Waterloo, there is continued effort to integrate the different programs available to continue to target LMI areas, but also take a more neighborhood focus in order to concentrate impact into strategic areas, to help eliminate slum and blight, improve conditions, provide affordable housing, and support redevelopment and economic opportunities. The efforts will utilize available CDBG and HOME funds and partnerships with local non-profit agencies and service providers to both serve the community at large but also target resources at a neighborhood level so that more impact directed to smaller areas of slum and blight so that efforts of revitalization are more concentrated.

Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 104 Page 225 of 518 General Allocation Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the state Priority areas that will be targeted with funds are areas of low-income census tracts and areas of racial concentration. While these areas are located throughout Waterloo, the majority are located within the Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA) and Waterloo will continue to concentrate specific activities within the boundary area. The CURA encompasses the majority of census tracts with low income populations, areas of racial concentration, and housing with high lead risk, but there are census tracts beyond the CURA so it will be important to ensure those LMI areas also receive assistance. Additionally, the community survey identified three general areas and neighborhoods that had the highest priority which included the East Side, specifically areas along East 4th Street, which includes the Walnut neighborhood, the 2nd area priority area was the Church Row neighborhood, and the neighborhoods located near the former site of the Rath Packing Company, which include LAFNOW and Cedar River, and a few other neighborhoods, were considered the 3rd highest priority area. All of the above neighborhoods are located within the CURA and in census tracks with concentrations of LMI populations, are areas with racial concentrations, and have also been identified as areas with high lead risk by the Iowa Department of Health. Community Development is partnering with local agencies and non -profits to work on a neighborhood level to target affordable housing, including rehabilitation and new construction efforts and other efforts to reduce slum and blight, and the above areas will be considered areas of priority. Due to the number of census tracts that area identified as LMI areas in Waterloo, if opportunities arise in other LMI neighborhoods for new partnerships, they will also be considered. Additionally, HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population that is considered LMI, and so it will be important to offer services throughout the community as services and needs are not restricted to a neighborhood basis. The City of Cedar Falls will focus its resources, budget and staff, in the areas deemed in greatest need of improvement.

TBRA for Non- Homeless Special Needs The elderly and individuals and families experiencing disabilities have a high need of assistance. Currently, a large proportion of households with disabilities are on the waitlist for Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Both populations experience income limits, have high need for affordable housing which also provides associated accommodations. New Unit Production Waterloo has a need for affordable and quality new construction property, especially in infill areas, where there are higher rates of vacant lots and slum and blight. A portion of HOME funds are dedicated towards the construction of new single-family homes to help meet this need. Rehabilitation The majority (76%) of all existing housing stock, both owner -occupied and rentals, were built prior to 1980. Additionally, many of the older homes are associated with health issues like lead-based paint, have little to no disability modifications for elderly or disabled homeowners, and low-income homeowners have very few funds to update and make their homes safe and sanitary. There are continued efforts needed to improve the aging housing stock and efforts of property rehabilitation will also assist in improving slum and blight. Acquisition, including preservation There are considerable amounts of vacant lots in LMI neighborhoods contributing to slum and blight. Available funds may be utilized to acquire properties for redevelopment and new construction in targeted areas to assist with redevelopment and the elimination of slum and blight.

The Consortium is developing a new Al in FY 2019 that will identify current public policies that may impede housing choice for members of the protected classes. The following major findings and conclusions were identified in the 2014 analysis: 1. No strategy to meet the market needs of the growing limited -English-speaking population have been introduced. 2. There is a growing mismatch between real income and housing cost. 3. It is difficult for large families and people with disabilities to access quality, affordable, suitable housing. 4. The gap between White and minority median household incomes, unemployment rates, and homeownership rates is large and growing. 5. The supply of larger housing units may not match the demand from protected classes. 6. The City of Waterlooaccs zoning provisions regarding group homes limit their capacity to integrate into the community. 7. The strict definition of family imposes a barrier to the formation on non-traditional households. 8. The Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission does not have the capacity to assertively enforce the provisions of the municipal human rights ordinance. 9. The indefinite closure of the Northeast Iowa Center of Independent Living and cancellation of METaaas Prime Time Pass program severely limits access to elderly and disabled residents, as well as employees working atypical hours. 10. A lack of transit connections to growing commercial corridors and suburban employment areas limits job access as well as access to community assets. 11. Ongoing patterns of disparity in private lending may indicate mortgage discrimination. 12. Testing for housing discrimination has not been conducted recently, despite positive results from the previous test and complaints of steering within the housing market. 13. Fair housing issues exist within both Waterloo and Cedar Fallsaza Nuisance Properties and Rental Inspection ordinances. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The 2014 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing identified thirteen impediments and provided strategies to remove the impediments. Market Based Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 146 Page 267 of 518 • It is recommended that both cities review whether current interpretation and translation services are adequate, including preparing a Language Access Plan if necessary, and the City of Waterloo should consider working with an outreach specialist to target the largest foreign language communities. • Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls need to utilize CDBG funding to assist with providing affordable rental units, renter focused affordable housing programs, and Waterloo should continue to maintain its 3 year CURA and provide a Down Payment Assistance Program. • The Waterloo and Cedar Falls Planning Departments should provide workshops to developers and landlords regarding universal design concepts. • There need to be efforts to provide employment training and apprenticeships that are targeted to residents of racially impacted neighborhoods. • Home ownership counseling should be targeted to residents of impacted neighborhoods. Public Sector Impediments: Policy -Based • Waterloo should amend their zoning ordinance to ensure that small group homes that permit up to eight persons with disabilities to reside are treated as single-family homes without additional permit requirements. • Waterloo should amend its zoning ordinance to remove specifications on what constitutes a family and should limit occupancy limits based on structural function rather than by defining family. • Empower the Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission to enforce fair housing law and examine whether CDBG funds could be used for a fair housing outreach project by the Commission. • Conduct a feasibility study to determine whether the Prime Time Pass service could be revived and conduct a transportation needs assessment to examine how the PTP service can be incorporated into the MET bus routes. • The Consortium needs to work on a regional planning effort to better match bus lines with jobs, housing, and amenities. Private Section Impediments: Market -Based • The Consortium should test for mortgage discrimination in order to effectively target education, outreach, referrals, and enforcement activities. Waterloo needs to continue supporting financial education and credit counseling for low-income households and examine whether multi-lingual education opportunities are needed. • The Consortium should consider applying for another grant for testing, with a focus on race and disability. • The legal department should review whether the Chronic Nuisance Properties and Rental Inspection ordinances are consistent with the Fair Housing Act.

The LHCB is responsible for conducting Point -in -Time counts in Black Hawk County and adopted the FY 2018 Black Hawk/Grundy/Tama Coordinated Service Region Policies and Procedures Manual for Coordinated Entry in order to ensure that services are coordinated and they connect the appropriate services to meet client needs. The LHCB meets on a regular basis and provides an opportunity for participating agencies to coordinate information and services. There are over 40 providers that participate in the LHCB and they provide a variety of services, including case management, counseling, self-sufficiency training, amongst many others. The activities are also focused on locating the appropriate housing in order for clients to successfully transition into either permanent supportive housing or into independent living and maintain steady employment. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Emergency Shelters Currently the Salvation Army operates two emergency shelters in Waterloo. The shelters include an 18 - bed facility for single men, and there is separate 32 -bed facility for women and children. Catholic Worker House provides 22 beds for both men and women in their facility. Children under the age of 18 in need of temporary housing are placed in the county's youth shelter, a non -secured facility that provides short termed care. The youth shelter primarily serves victims of physical of sexual abuse, children whose family are experiencing a crisis, children awaiting foster care or group home placement, and children referred directly from a psychiatric unit. Transitional Housing Several facilities in Waterloo provide transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. House of Hope, a privately funded organization, provides 10 units with 24 beds and currently has a waitlist for families in need of assistance. Additionally, the program will begin to provide transitional housing to up to 5 women who are transitioning out of foster care, in order to provide a stop gap and reduce homelessness in the that population. Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides through their two programs offer a total of 63 beds, with 46 beds for families, and 17 beds for adults only. Their programs are targeted to domestic violence survivors. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 148 Page 269 of 518 The Junkman-Knoebel Center, which is run by Pathways Behavioral Services, provides 25 beds for men who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Residents must maintain employment, commit to sobriety, and continue to meet obligations, such as court costs, restitution, child support, and any other transitional living fees incurred. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. In order to continue assisting those that are homeless or chronically homeless, both cities will continue to support the LHCB and agencies that provide sheltering and/or associated services in order to stabilize the homeless individuals and families and to assist with successfully transitioning them out of homelessness. The Coordinated Entry Policy and Manual are helping with connecting clients to appropriate services, but there are continued demands for affordable housing to help with transitioning those that are homeless into more permanent housing. Incentives from the Iowa Finance Authority are helping with encouraging developers to include elements into their proposals that may assist with affordable housing, most recently the Waterloo Housing Authority is reviewing a partnership with a local developer utilizing Iowa Finance Authority credits and funds to provide five vouchers to persons that previously were experiencing homelessness. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population is low- income. A large percentage of the population is susceptible to becoming homeless and it is important to continue to support programs and services that not only provide affordable housing, but also help eliminate risks towards homelessness, including assisting with housing related issues such as evictions, denial of housing and other activities, and also support initiatives to improve the economic standing of low income households with better employment opportunities, job and skill training, and financial literacy as related education and training efforts. Additionally, it is important to support services that remove barriers to employment, such as improving transportation services to local employers and child care availability, especially for those that are employed during second and third shifts. Additionally, it important to provide services that help current low-income households preserve their existing housing stock, who otherwise may not be able to maintain their housing condition, and provide services, Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 149 Page 270 of 518 especially for the elderly and those with disabilities in order so that any potential barriers from their homes are removed and they may remain in their homes. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 150 Page 271 of 518 SP -65 Lead-based Paint Hazards - 91.415, 91.215(i) Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Waterloo Community Development includes lead -paint hazard evaluation and mitigation for housing units that participate in the rehabilitation program. Waterloo has been a former recipient of HUD Lead - Paint Hazard Grant, and was awarded and new grant, which began in 2018, which is being utilized in conjunction with CDBG and HOME rehabilitation activities. The City of Waterloo has partnered with the Black Hawk County Health Department in the implementation of the Lead -Based Paint Hazard grant, including participation in outreach events. The community wide survey results identified that the lead hazards were considered a low priority by the community. The survey results do not correspond with housing data analysis that identifies that lead hazards continue to be an issue in Waterloo. The discrepancy does reflect that there are continued education and outreach efforts in the community regarding lead paint hazards. Lead paint was not prohibited in residences until 1978, and properties built prior that date are assumed to contain lead paint. The majority of housing in Waterloo was constructed between 1950 -1979, and 76% of all housing was constructed prior to 1979, which includes 76% of owner -occupied structures and 75% of all rental properties. The Iowa Department of Public Health has created a lead risk model for the state to identify areas of high risk. In Waterloo, 16 census tracts, the majority located within the CURA, have been identified as having housing with a high lead risk. Previous awarded HUD Lead -Based Paint Hazard grants were targeted toward owner -occupied housing. The more recent awarded Lead -Based Paint Hazard grant also targets rental units, which is the first rental properties have received lead-based paint remediation assistance. Moving forward, it will be important to include rental properties in continued lead removal efforts since they have equally high rates of lead paint as owner -occupied properties and often provide housing to extremely low-income households. The City of Waterloo also ensures that any housing units that receive any funding towards a down payment assistance program is also lead safe prior to funding being made available to the new homebuyer, ensuring the program participants are in safe housing. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Due to the number of units in Waterloo that potentially may have lead-based paint hazards, it is an important action for all the major activities that were identified previously and integral part of many of the existing programs. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 151 Page 272 of 518 Lead-based paint abatement is an important component of the rehabilitation of existing housing programs, and with down payment assistance programs, and all policies and procedures for any of the activities include lead -abatement activities and procedures. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 152 Page 273 of 518 SP -70 Anti -Poverty Strategy - 91.415, 91.215(j) Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -Level Families HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population is low- income. The City of Waterloo will continue to work on providing programs, services, and initiatives, and other forms of support in order to reduce the rate of poverty in the community. Waterloo has identified the following programs and strategies to help reduce the number of families living in poverty: • Provide assistance to non -profits organizations and agencies that provide services that target extremely low-income persons and households, including access to food, counseling services, transportation assistance, and other programs that will assist with self-sufficiency. • Provide a Down Payment Assistance Program to assist low-income households to purchase homes, which will help reduce and ease the growing mismatch between real income and housing costs and support homeownership and accumulation of equity. • Continue to assist low income households with homeowner rehabilitation programs to ensure their housing remains safe. • Continue to address lead-based paint abatement to address child lead poisoning, which has long term consequences related to potential employment and earning capabilities in the future. • Provide support programs and services that provide deposit and rent assistance to extremely low-income persons and households. • Support citywide construction of new affordable housing, including affordable rental housing, including housing targeted for extremely low-income households. • Support economic development programs, including those that target low income neighborhoods and provide training to low income, minority, and underrepresented groups, including job and skills training • Support programs that assist with childcare, to assist employed parents, so they can retain their employment, and also target youth programs to ensure that mentoring and other resources are provided to children to they can be successful. Continue to support infrastructure programs in the community in order to improve neighborhoods and continue to improve property values and help bring economic development into impoverished neighborhoods. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan The preparation of the Consolidated Plan involved the input of both the community, but also the service providers that work closely with providing services to reduce poverty in the Consortium. The activities identified as part poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies are part of the goals, objectives, and strategies identified as part of this housing plan. Moving forward improving communication and assisting the sharing of resources with service providers and the public will be important to ensure the Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 153 Page 274 of 518 identified programs are successful. A key component of information dissemination will also involve utilizing neighborhood services, so that information, outreach, and education can be better disseminated to the public, especially low income neighborhoods, so those residents are made aware of programs and opportunities.

While these areas are located throughout Waterloo, the majority are located within the Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA) and Waterloo will continue to concentrate specific activities within the boundary area. The CURA encompasses the majority of census tracts with low income populations, areas of racial concentration, and housing with high lead risk, but there are census tracts beyond the CURA so it will be important to ensure those LMI areas also receive assistance. Additionally, the community survey identified three general areas and neighborhoods that had the highest priority which included the East Side, specifically areas along East 4th Street, which includes the Walnut neighborhood, and the Church Row neighborhood. All of the above neighborhoods are located within the CURA and in census tracks with concentrations of LMI populations, are areas with racial concentrations, and have also been identified as areas with high lead risk by the Iowa Department of Health. Community Development is partnering with local agencies and non -profits to work on a neighborhood level to target affordable housing, including rehabilitation and new construction efforts and other efforts to reduce slum and blight, and the above areas will be considered areas of priority. Due to the number of census tracts that area identified as LMI areas in Waterloo, if opportunities arise in other LMI neighborhoods for new partnerships, they will also be considered. Additionally, HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population that is considered LMI, and so it will be important to offer services throughout the community as services and needs are not restricted to a neighborhood basis. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY AREA 50 Citywide 50 Table 64 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The LMI percentage required for CDBG eligibility is 51% of residents. HUD estimates indicate that Waterloo has 33,665 LMI persons, or 50.53% of the population as of 2018. Waterloo has 27 census tracts, with 17 of those located within the city boundary, while 10 extend beyond the city limits. Of the 27 census tracts, 16 of the 27 are considered LMI and include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15.03, 16, 17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19. The majority of the census tracts are included in the Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA). HUD defines areas of racial or ethnic minority concentration as geographical areas where the Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 174 Page 295 of 518 percentage of minorities or ethnic persons is 10% higher than in the city overall. Waterloo has several census tracts that meet the criteria for areas of racial concentration, which is when a single minority/ethnic group exceeds at least 10% of the group's citywide average, as racial minorities comprised 23.8% of the population. In Waterloo, an area of racial concentration includes the Census tracts where the percentage of minority residents is 33.8% or higher. Those census tracts include 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 17.01, 17.02, 18, 19, and all those census tracts are included in the Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area (CURA). Census tracts 7, 8, and 11 are considered areas of concentration for Hispanic or Latinos. Census tract 3 shows an area of concentration for Asians, census tract 7 has a concentration of other races, while census tracts 1, 2, 5, 7, 17.01, 17.02, 18, and 19 are shown to be areas of racial concentration for Blacks/African-Americans.

Affordable housing continues to be a high priority in Waterloo and efforts will encompass a variety of the proposed activities to ensure there is quality affordable housing available in Waterloo. The activities will include support for a community housing development organization for the development of new affordable housing construction. Other major efforts will be the continued efforts towards the rehabilitation of existing single family homes to make them safe and sanitary, remove lead- based hazards, and with help reduce slum blight with those improvements, and ensure homeowners can continue to reside in their homes. Another important project will be the continuation of providing emergency repairs to owner occupied housing, which will ensure that emergency issues in a home will not escalate and reduce damage and ensure the owners can remain in their home. Efforts will also include down payment assistance for first time homebuyers, to assist with helping persons transition into home occupancy. Additional support will also include deposit and tenant based rent assistance to ensure renters can also receive assistance to help stabilize them as they move into rentals.

Approximately 50% of the Waterloo households are considered low income and assisting with home repairs and the rehabilitation of their property can ensure they can remain safely in their homes and ensure future affordable housing stock is in safe and sanitary condition. Additional efforts, including neighborhood clean ups, infrastructure improvements, and other efforts to reduce slum and blight can also help Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 176 Page 297 of 518 improve the existing housing stock and neighborhoods. There are also continued efforts to assist with the construction of new single family homes in existing vacant infill lots, which will help boost the number of new affordable housing options.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Community Development will conduct environmental reviews on behalf of the Waterloo Housing Authority but there are currently no additional plans for direct assistance for any other program in FY2019. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The Waterloo Housing Authority provides several programs that provide assistance for improving the living environment for residents. The programs include Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS), Down Payment Assistance Program, Homeownership Assistance Program, and Veteran Assisted Supported Housing, and all assist in improving self-sufficiency for low income households. In addition to these programs, the Waterloo Housing Authority provides a variety of on-site basic health screening and exercise programs for residents of Ridgeway Towers. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Waterloo Housing Authority is not designated as a trouble agency by HUD. Discussion Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 178 Page 299 of 518 AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.420, 91.220(i) Introduction The City of Waterloo currently does not receive entitlement funds to assist with homeless needs. Various social services agencies in Waterloo apply to the State of Iowa and receive a small allocation of funds for homelessness. Some agencies also apply directly to HUD for Continuum of Care Program Funds. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City of Waterloo will continue to support affordable housing activities using CDBG and HOME funds. Activities include a homeowner rehabilitation program, down payment assistance, tenant based rental and deposit assistance, community stabilization projects targeting chronic housing issues, and related activities. The proposed activities will help continue to provide safe and decent living environments while reducing the deterioration of the existing housing stock and also ensure low income households can remain in their homes, be able to afford housing, or be able to provide rental assistance. Additionally, the City will continue to participate in the Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB), the region's Continuum of Care organization. The LHCB conducts the annual Point -In -Time survey and the results are shared with the Institute of Community Alliance. There are multiple social service agencies and providers in the Consortium that provide benefits and assistance to low income persons and households with a focus of preventing homelessness. Many of the organizations are also focused on providing assistance to those persons and households currently experiencing homelessness. The organizations provide the following services: counseling, legal assistance, case management, life skill training, financial literacy courses, access to basic everyday resources including food, victim advocacy, and mental health related activities. These activities help assist low income persons and households to become more self-sufficient. By developing the skills and knowledge provided by the service providers, residents can then transition into permanent supportive housing or into independent living environments and can maintain employment and help stabilize them and reduce the risk of homelessness. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Emergency Shelters The Salvation Army operates two emergency shelters in Waterloo. The shelters include an 18 -bed facility for single men, and there is separate 32 -bed facility for women and children. Catholic Worker House provides 22 beds for both men and women in their facility. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 179 Page 300 of 518 Children under the age of 18 in need of temporary housing are placed in the county's youth shelter, a non -secured facility that provides short termed care. The youth shelter primarily serves victims of physical of sexual abuse, children whose family are experiencing a crisis, children awaiting foster care or group home placement, and children referred directly from a psychiatric unit. Transitional Housing Several facilities in Waterloo provide transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. House of Hope, a privately funded organization, provides 10 units with 24 beds and currently has a waitlist for families in need of assistance. Additionally, the program will begin to provide transitional housing to up to 5 women who are transitioning out of foster care, in order to provide a stop gap and reduce homelessness in the that population. Cedar Valley Friends of the Family provides through their two programs offer a total of 63 beds, with 46 beds for families, and 17 beds for adults only. Their programs are targeted to domestic violence survivors. The Junkman-Knoebel Center, which is run by Pathways Behavioral Services, provides 25 beds for men who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Residents must maintain employment, commit to sobriety, and continue to meet obligations, such as court costs, restitution, child support, and any other transitional living fees incurred. Permanent Supportive Housing Community Housing Initiatives offers permanent supportive housing and operates a 13 -bed facility, with one family unit with two beds, and 11 adult only -beds. Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides group homes to adults with mental retardation, brain injury, or chronic mental illness. Exceptional Persons, Inc. provides a range of services to accommodate the needs of individuals and families in need by providing assistance with locating affordable rental housing, transportation services, and employment and family and child support. Unity Square Apartments, a previously HOME funded project, provides 6 units targeted towards permanent supportive housing for the homeless. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The City of Waterloo will continue to support the Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board and other agencies that provide support to homeless services and that are focused on reducing chronic Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 180 Page 301 of 518 homelessness. The activities will include assisting with increasing the capacity of existing shelters, including providing new permanent housing beds for those that are chronically homeless. Additionally, it will be equally important to support agencies that provide services that help the chronically ill transition out of homelessness. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board has established discharge policies to protect populations, especially those that that vulnerable to homelessness, based on policies that were implemented by the State of Iowa. The Black Hawk County Homeless Coordinating Board adopted the FY 2018 Black Hawk/Grundy/Tama Coordinated Service Region Policies and Procedures Manual for Coordinated Entry as part of the Balance of State Continuum of Care (BoS CoC) and their guiding principles include the adoption of statewide standards, providing client choice regarding program participation, promote client -centered practices, prioritize the most vulnerable, collaboration between CoC provides and other agencies and key partners, provide accurate data, utilize performance -drive decision making, having a housing first focus by providing permanent supportive housing to those experiencing chronic homelessness, and ensuring transparency of the process. Discussion Due to the continued needs and the growing population that is at high risk for becoming homeless, it is important to continue to support agencies and organizations that help high risk individuals and households to become more self-sufficient and to have access to services. The continued reduction of CDBG and HOME funds place a strain in the amount of funds that can be dedicated to the homeless population. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 181 Page 302 of 518 AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing - 91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction The 2014 Analysis of Impediments identified several barriers to affordable housing. One of the issues identified was the growing mismatch between real income and housing cost. Additional issues included the difficulty for large families and people with disabilities to access affordable housing, the growing disparity between white and minority households incomes, unemployment, and homeownership rates. The activities proposed are targeted towards improving existing housing stock and targeting areas with greater disparities to help reduce the identified gaps. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The 2014 Analysis of Impediments identified existing policies that may impede housing choice and the FY2019 Analysis of Impediments is in the process of identifying new policies and actions to help reduce impediments. The following actions were identified in the 2014 Analysis of Impediments and it continues to be recommended that the following actions are implemented to help reduce housing choice barriers. • Support CDBG funding on providing affordable rental units. • Provide funds towards a Community Development down payment assistance program. • Work on partnerships with landlords and developers to support universal design standards in units to broaden the number of units that can accommodate persons with disabilities. • Work on amending the City of Waterloo's zoning ordinance on group homes, so that they are treated as single family homes without additional requirements, permits, or conditions. • Work on updating the City of Waterloo's zoning ordinance definition on what constitutes a family and have occupancy limits determined by structural function rather than the definition of a family. Discussion The activities proposed will help alleviate barriers to affordable housing. While 50% of the Waterloo households are low-income, there are also disparities with income, unemployment, and homeownership. The activities proposed will target neighborhoods that are both LMI areas and areas of racial concentration, helping push resources in areas of high need and target the population experiencing the greatest need. Additional assistance, such as the down payment assistance will also help support homeownership opportunities, as well as rehabilitation and emergency repairs, which will help current homeowners remain in their homes. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 182 Page 303 of 518 AP -85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k) Introduction The City of Waterloo proposed to undertake several actions in order to address several goals outlined in the Strategic Plan. • Address affordable housing needs • Eliminating slum and blight to provide a suitable living environment • Expand economic opportunities Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Despite continued efforts, there continue to be a number of obstables that impact the ability to meet underserved needs in the community. One of the biggest issues is the lack of available funds to assist with completing all the identified priority needs. Often requests for assistance from local agencies and non-profit organizations cannot be fully met and only partial funding can be provided meaning activities have fewer available resources to meet needs. Some of the continued obstacles that need to me overcome are: • growing number of immmigrants and refugees that need translation assistance in order to receive assistance • the continued disparity in incomes and housing costs • the continued disparity in median household rates, unemployment, and homeowners between the White population and minorities • the lack of availability of affordable and safe housing that can also provide disability accommodations • the lack of transporation and childcare create a barrier to employment for low income households Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing There are several actions being proposed to help foster and mantain affordable housing. • Provide support to proposed new construction of affordable housing • Assist with the acquisition of property that can be rehabilitated or used for new construction, or any resale of property that can be used to house low income households. • Continue to provide funding for single family owner occupied housing development by collaborating a Community Housing Development Organization. • Provide citywide rehabilitation for owner occupied and rental housing, to help preserve and stabilize existing affordable housing stock • Provide citywise emergency repair for owner occupied homes in order to ensure the existing Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 183 Page 304 of 518 housing is maintained and preserved • Provide down payment assistance for first time homebuyers • Work to help reduce slum and blight in neighborhoods in order to improve property value and improve lending opportunities for infill development • Provide support for Deposit and Tenant Based Rental Assistance Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The rehabilitation program requires that each participating property is evaluated for lead-based paint hazards. Any rental rehabilitation properties that also receive assistance will be evaluated for lead based hazards. Currently the City of Waterloo is a recipient of Lead -Based Hazards grant from HUD and is partnering with the Black Hawk County Health Department to perform lead paint assessments and clearance testing on those properties. Inspections will also be completed on all units that are part of the Deposit and Rental Assistance Program and on all housing units that are receiving down payment assistance. The inspections will be completed by a certified Lead Risk Assessor and any identified lead paint hazards will be corrected by a certified Lead Safe Renovator, before the housing units participates in any of the programs. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families With approximately 50% of the Waterloo living in poverty, there is continued need to address poverty throughout the community and to help reduce the level of poverty. The following strategies will help assist households living in poverty and reduce the number of households living in poverty: • Provide funding support to organizations and agencies that provide needed services, such as food, senior services, counseling, legal aid and other services that target low income persons and households. • Provide funding support to agencies and organizations who assist residents with special needs. • Continue to assist low income households with rehabilitation and emergency repair programs. • Provide down payment assistance to support homeownership and the accumulation of equity within the community. • Support infrastructure improvements in low income neighborhoods to increase property values and also bring economic developments into those areas. • Economic development programs to support for skill and job training in order to improve the employability of those in the community living in poverty. • Address lead -paint based hazards, which impact the development grown of young children and their future employment and earning capabilities. • Support child and youth service activities to help provide mentoring and support for future growth, and assist families to that they can secure and keep their employment. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) WATERLOO 184 Page 305 of 518 Actions planned to develop institutional structure The proposed housing and community development activities will be carried out in cooperation with local government agencies, non-profit organizations, service providers, private industry, and public institutions. The support of the public, private, and non-profit organizations are important, and collaborationing with the various organizations is an important component to the institutional approach of meeting the identified needs identified in the plan. Waterloo Community Development Board, the Waterloo Housing Authority, and the Black Hawk County Local Homeless Coordinating Board will continue to work in partnership to help reduce any potential service delivery gap between public and non-profit organizations. There are many agencies that provide a wide variety of services locally, including homeless prevention, reduction of poverty, affordable housing efforts, neighborhood revitilization, youth services, and many others. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies Each year, as part of the annual planning process, local agencies and organizations are invited to submit proposals for CDBG and HOME eligible activities. Many of these organizations participate in informational meetings, public hearings, and are engaged in the process. Waterloo Community Development works closely with many of the agencies and non -profits and participates in regular meetings with many of the different organizations in order to continue improving coordination. There have also been efforts for continued outreach and education on the available programs and opportunities that are offered and there has been in increased effort of participation with new organizations and entities in order to ensure that there awareness of the level of assistance.

A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows: N/A 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: The City of Waterloo has elected to adopt the following recapture or resale provisions when HOME funds (including program income) are used to create affordable housing. Recapture guidelines are used for any homebuyer activity where the client receives direct financial assistance (down payment assistance). Resale guidelines are used when the homeowner does not receive direct financial assistance (construction subsidy for housing unit). Recapture Provision A recapture provision of the HOME regulations pursuant to CFR Part 24 92.254 (a)(5)(ii) will be used when HOME —funded assistance is provided for down payment assistance for people at income levels of 80% of less of Waterloo's median income. The homebuyer may resell the property on the open market to any willing buyer during the affordability period. The recapture provision will include an affordability period based on the amount of HOME funds used for that purpose as follows: • Up to $14,999: 5 years • $15,000 - $40,000: 10 years • Greater than $40,000: 15 years The City of Waterloo will reduce the amount of direct HOME subsidy for recapture on a pro rata basis for the time the homebuyer has owned and occupied the housing measured against the affordability period. The resulting ratio, is used to determine how much of the direct HOME subsidy will be recaptured. The pro rata amount recaptured, divide the number of years the homebuyer occupied the home by the period of affordability and multiply the resulting figure by the total amount of direct HOME subsidy originally provided to the homebuyer. 3.

Submitted by: Submitted By: Tavis Hall, Executive Director, Experience Waterloo Recommended Action: Summary Statement: Source of Funds: Approve CVB Board recommendations for funding the Event/Capital Hotel -Motel Tax Grant funds for FY20. The Board of Directors of the Waterloo CVB is recommending funding for the following: fifteen organizations in the Event Grant fund for a total amount of $122,500; three organizations in the Capital Grant fund for a total award of $32,000; six organizations in the Partner Grant fund for a total award of $96,000. Total Expenditure Required: $250,500 of the $258,684 available (20% of previous years H/M Tax Generations per city ordinance) Recommended funding is based on the project's ability to meet the goals of the grant program as follows: 1. Does the project have a significant economic impact/significantly enhance the visitor's experience in Waterloo? 2. Does the project strengthen the perceptions of Waterloo? 3. How important are grant dollars toward ensuring the success of the project? 4. Is the application clear, complete and thought-out? 5. Is the project new, or are there significant changes from previous years? Hotel/Motel Tax Discretionary Funds. The current available balance for FYE2020 is $258,684.

Head Signature: Number of Attachments: 1 SUBJECT: Partner, Event & Capital Hotel -Motel Tax Grants FY20 Submitted by: Tavis Hall, Experience Waterloo Recommended City Council Action: Approve Experience Waterloo (CVB) board recommendation for funding in the Event/Capital Hotel -Motel Tax Grant funds for FY20. Event & Capital Grant Summary Statement: The Experience Waterloo board has reviewed 17 applications for funding in the Event Grant fund for Fiscal Year 2020, and has recommended funding 15 applications in the total amount of $122,500. A spreadsheet showing the information about the applications (applicant, requested funding, recommended award & economic impact) is attached for Council review. Available funding for FY20 was $258,684 The first two columns on the spreadsheet show the expected economic impact and property tax generated by each funded application. Those two figures were calculated using an economic impact calculator developed for Convention & Visitors Bureaus by Destination Marketing Association International and Oxford Economics. The figures are generated from both visitor and event organizer spending and were calculated using the most conservative figures available to us in the applications. Capital Grant Summary Statement: The Experience Waterloo board has reviewed 3 applications for funding in the Capital Grant fund for Fiscal Year 2020, and has recommended funding all 3, for a total Capital Grant award of $32,000. These applications were graded on the merit of each project, recognizing that a economic impact formula for a capital project is not available. Partner Grant Summary Statement: The Experience Waterloo board has reviewed 6 applications for funding in the Partner Grant fund for Fiscal Year 2020, and has recommended funding all 6, for a total Partner Grant award of $96,000. The award is based on each qualifying applicants' past years total expenditures. Total Expenditure Required: $250,500 of the $258,684 available (200 of previous years H/M Tax Generations per city ordinance) Source of Funds: Hotel -motel tax grant funding for FY20 Policy Issue: None Alternative: Do not provide funding or provide alternate funding. Page 431 of 518 Background Information: The Experience Waterloo Board reviewed all applications and scored based on the project's ability to meet the goals of the grant program: 1. Does the project have a significant economic impact / significantly enhance the visitor's experience in Waterloo? 2. Does the project strengthen the perceptions of Waterloo? 3. How important are grant dollars toward ensuring the success of the project? 4. Is the application clear, complete and thought-out? 5. Is the project new, or are there significant changes from previous years? In regard to the Event Grants, with over $216,300 in requests and $122,500 to allocate after partner and capital grants, the Experience Waterloo Board used the scoring percentage as a beginning guide in order to provide funding for as many applicants as possible and maximize the number of projects funded. All of the recommended awarded events had an economic impact of over $250,000. The Experience Waterloo Board of Directors worked hard to identify a funding recommendation that made the most economically impactful events possible with the resources at its disposal. While that ultimately resulted in some previous recipients receiving less than in previous years, the board of directors felt council would ultimately support efforts to fund as many events as possible, given that through the traditional process, many events receiving funds in this proposal would ultimately lose out on funding completely and therefore be unable to occur, as these funds are paramount to their successful execution.

Page 465 of 518 Prepared by Christopher S. Wendland, P.O. Box 596, Waterloo, IA 50704 Phone (319) 234-5701 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT This Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of , 2019 by and between Fusion Investments LLC (the "Company") and the City of Waterloo, Iowa (the "City"). RECITALS City considers economic development within the City to be a benefit to the community and is willing for the overall good and welfare of the community to provide financial incentives so as to encourage that goal, and the City further believes that the project is in the vital and best interests of the City and that the project and such incentives are in accordance with the public purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and requirements under which the project has been undertaken and is being assisted. B. Company is the owner of real property as described and set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, located within the corporate limits of the City of Waterloo, Iowa (the "Property"). C. Company is willing and able to finance and construct the installation of roads, related infrastructure, and other improvements and to plat and subdivide the Property (collectively, the "Project") on the Property, which is located in the Martin Road Development Plan Area. D. In view of the Company's investment in assembling the Project and its commitment to develop the Property, the City desires to provide certain incentives to encourage the Company to facilitate timely development of the Property. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows; Page 466 of 518 1. Improvements by Company. Company shall construct, or cause to be constructed, all streets, sewers, utilities, and water lines on the Property (all such street and infrastructure improvements and related site preparation, including, but not limited to, necessary grading, fill, and earth work for such street improvements, are referred to as the "Street Improvements"). The Street Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable City, state, and federal building codes and shall comply with all applicable City ordinances and other applicable law. Company shall provide all information requested by City that is reasonably necessary to verify that the Street Improvements were properly constructed and are eligible for acceptance. In addition to construction of the Street Improvements, Company shall plat and subdivide the Property into multiple Tots for development by Company or by third parties and shall act with diligence to market said lots for sale and development. 2. Timeliness. To be eligible for the incentives provided by this Agreement, Company must complete construction of the Street Improvements and plat and subdivide the Property within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement. 3. Grants to Company. As an inducement for Company to undertake the Project, the City agrees to make development grants to Company as follows: A. A semi-annual grant in an amount equal to 100% of the property taxes collected by City (excluding Non -TIF Collections as defined in paragraph 3.0 below) from land valuations on the subject properties and minimum assessment agreements for land valuation with a party making improvements on the Property (a "Developer") pursuant to a separate development agreement with City, reduced by any and all tax rebates that City is required to pay to the Developer pursuant to the terms of any development agreement with such Developer. For purposes of illustration only, if an agreement between City and a Developer provides for rebatement of 50% of qualifying property taxes for a period of five years, then Company would receive a grant equal to the remaining 50% of qualifying property taxes in each year of such period. No grant with respect to such Developer's improvements to a parcel of land for a project shall be made to Company before a property tax rebate is first paid to the Developer. At the end of the Developer's tax rebatement period, City will make a semi- annual grant to Company in an amount equal to 100% of qualifying property taxes until Company has been paid pursuant to paragraph 3.F below. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "Developer" may include Company with respect to improvements made on the Property other than the improvements that are the subject of this Agreement. B. With respect to any taxable improvements constructed on the Property that are not subject to a separate development agreement between City and the owner -builder thereof (referred to as "Non -Qualifying Improvements", which are further explained below), a semi-annual grant in an amount equal to 100% of the property taxes collected by City (excluding Non -TIF Collections), if not for the non -qualifying character of the improvements, starting in "Year One" 2 Page 467 of 518 and continuing thereafter until Company has been paid pursuant to paragraph 3.F below. The grant shall be determined with reference to taxes paid on the increased valuation of the subject property over the base valuation as of January 1, 2018. For purposes of illustration, a "Non -Qualifying Improvement" means, generally, an improvement of a type that is not eligible for property tax rebates or similar incentives, such as property that is or becomes exempt from taxation, or other classifications of property determined from time to time as ineligible by City policy. "Year One" shall be the first year for which the assessment is based upon the partial or completed value of the Non -Qualifying Improvements, but not a prior year for which the assessment is based solely upon the value of the land. C. Expressly excluded from the above-described grant and rebate program is any special assessment levy, debt service levy, or any other levy that is exempted from treatment as tax increment financing under the provisions of applicable law (collectively, "Non -TIF Collections"). D. Grants to Company are payable in respect of a given year only to the extent that general property taxes that are due and owing for such year have actually been paid. The City will pay grants semi-annually. The Company reserves the right to assign the semi-annual payments to a lender as an assignment of grant payments. E. In respect of any grant amount that is determined from time to time, payment shall be made within a reasonable time following the tax installment payment due date, provided that the tax installment was actually paid and Company has submitted proof of payment to City or has otherwise notified City of completed payment in a manner that is satisfactory to City. F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, City will pay to Company a minimum annual grant amount of $40,000.00, but in no event will the cumulative amount of grants payable by City to Company under this Agreement exceed $1,200,000.00. 4. Obligations Contingent. Each and every obligation of City under this Agreement is expressly made subject to and contingent upon City's completion of all procedures, hearings and approvals deemed necessary by City or its legal counsel for amendment of the urban renewal plan applicable to the Property and/or project area, all of which must be completed within 180 days from the date this Agreement is approved by the City council. If such completion does not occur, then this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and shall be null and void. 5. Taxable Value Targets. As an inducement to City to furnish the incentives provided for in this Agreement, Company agrees that it shall develop the Property, or shall cause the Property to be developed, so that the following aggregate taxable values are attained for the Property as a whole: By 12/31/2021 $1,500,000 3 Page 468 of 518 By 12/31/2023 $3,000,000 By 12/31/2024 $4,500,000 If the above targets are not met, then Company shall forfeit 10% of each grant payment for each semi-annual period in which the taxable value target has not been met, up to a total forfeiture of 50% of each grant payment. By way of illustration, if the taxable value of the Property, accounting for the taxable value of each project, development or separate lot within the Property, is short of an applicable target for three consecutive semi-annual periods, then 10% of the grant payment shall be forfeited for the first period, an additional 10% shall be forfeited in respect of the second period (for a total forfeiture of 20%, and an additional 10% shall be forfeited in respect of the third period (for a total forfeiture of 30%). Once a target has been met, then grant payments shall resume at full funding thereafter. The parties agree that the taxable value added by all future development projects on the Property, whether undertaken by Company or a third -party developer, will be included for purposes of determining attainment of a target. 6.

Submitted By: Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director Approval with the retention of a utility easement over, under and upon the entire area of Linbud Lane to be vacated. Transmitted is a request by the Waterloo Community School District to vacate, sell and convey a portion of Littlefield Road and Linbud Lane lying south of Sager Avenue in the amount of $1.00, just north of 1239 Sheldon Street (Fred Becker Elementary School). This was initially requested in September of 2010, however, it was only Littlefield Road that was proposed to be vacated at that time. The request was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, but it did not proceed to the City Council. Staff requested that the applicant provide a survey to create a legal description of that part of Littlefield Road due to the there being curved right-of-way lines. No survey was ever provided and the request did not proceed to the City Council. The city's land surveyor did a survey of that part of Littlefield Road and Linbud Lane in December 2018 and legal descriptions have been created for both areas. There is a sanitary sewer in the portion of Linbud Lane, therefore an easement will need to be maintained over that vacate area. At their March 5, 2019 meeting the Planning, Programming and Zoning Page 479 of 518 Expenditure Required: Source of Funds: Policy Issue: Alternative: Legal Descriptions: commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the vacate with the condition that a utility easement over, under and upon the entire area of Linbud Lane to be vacated..

Waterloo Community School District, 1516 Washington Street, Waterloo, IA 50702. The WCSD is requesting to vacate the two portions of right-of-way to incorporate it with the elementary school site, which is located at 1239 Sheldon Street. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood or land use. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on vehicular or pedestrian traffic movements in the area. The nearest recreational trail is located approximately a 1/2 mile to the west along the west side of Katoski Drive. The area where the two right-of-ways are located are zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District, and have been zoned as such since the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in February of 1969. The surrounding area is comprised of predominately single-family housing, with the majority of the housing being constructed in the late 1950s to 1960s. Fred Becker Elementary School was constructed just to the south in 2010. No buffers or additional screening are needed with this request. Vacating the right-of-ways of would not appear to have a negative impact on drainage in the area, as there are no storm sewers located within the areas to be vacated. No portion of the property is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0282F, dated July 18, 2011. There are no parks located within the immediate vicinity of the area, however, there is open space located to the southeast of the elementary school. Vacate Littlefield Rd and Linbud Ln S of Sager Ave pgDge4V of 518 UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, STORM SEWER, ETC RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN: STAFF ANALYSIS — ZONING ORDINANCE: STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: March 5, 2019 There is a 10" sanitary sewer within the right-of-way of Linbud Lane and a utility easement will need to be retained over the entire area that is vacated. There are no known utilities within the right-of-way of Littlefield Road. There is a 12" sanitary sewer and 6" water main located within Sager Avenue to the north. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential, and the proposed vacates would be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map for this area. The WCSD is requesting to vacate the right-of-way Littlefield Road and Linbud Lane lying just south of Sager Avenue. This was initially requested in September of 2010, however, it was only Littlefield Road that was proposed to be vacated at that time. The request was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, but it did not proceed to the City Council. Staff requested that the applicant provide a survey to create a legal description of that part of Littlefield Road due to the there being curved right-of-way lines. No survey was ever provided and the request did not proceed to the City Council. The Zoning Ordinance requires that any matter requiring review and recommendation of the Commission shall only be valid for a period of one year if such matter has not been acted on by the City Council or Board of Adjustment. The city's land surveyor did a survey of that part of Littlefield Road and Linbud Lane and legal descriptions have been created for both areas. Linbud Lane is now being included with this request due to the WCSD owning all of the land directly to the south. At the time when the request first came before the Commission, the WCSD was in the process of constructing Fred Becker Elementary School. There is no platting required for this request. Therefore, staff recommends that the request to vacate Littlefield Road and Linbud Lane right-of-ways lying just south of Sager Avenue be approved for the following reasons: 1.

RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area to the North, East, COMPREHENSIVE and West as Parks, Open Spaces, Hospitals, Government Facility, LAND USE PLAN: Public Areas, and Government Facilities. Land to the south is designated as Industrial. The proposed site plan amendment would be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map for this area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The applicant is requesting to construct a 12,800 SF Airport ZONING Hangar. The area in question is zoned "M -2,P" Planned Industrial ORDINANCE: District, and this zoning is designed to permit the establishment of industrial parks and to provide for the orderly planned growth of industries on large tracts of land and allowing for greater flexibility and diversification of land uses and building locations. It is also intended that such industrial parks be developed to maximize the potentials of industrial areas and at the same time minimize any adverse effect upon adjacent properties in other zoning districts. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 space for every 2 persons employed at the facility which is anticipated to only be 2 employees at the maximum. The site plan has 8 parking spaced listed on the site plan. Which is 7 spaces more than what is SPA SW of 2814 Bestworth Lane Page 2 of Page 495 of 518 March 5, 2019 required per the Zoning Ordinance. STAFF ANALYSIS — A plat will not need to be submitted for this area as part of this SUBDIVISION request, as the area will remain in the ownership at the City of ORDINANCE: Waterloo and leased to the applicant. The City will own the hanger once the lease period is completed. AIRPORT LAND USE AND HEIGHT OVERLAY DISTRICT The proposed site plan amendment area is designated as Zone D on the Waterloo Airport Land Use and Height Overlay Map. The maximum elevation/height of the structure allowed at the Airport Hanger site is 1,023 feet and the base elevation of the site is only 870 feet. The height of the hanger is 43 feet and the base elevation plus the hanger height is only 913 feet, which is 110 feet less than what is the height maximum for the site. In addition no impacts are anticipated regarding the proposed land use for the building of an Airport Hanger and the proposed building is considered a compatible use in the the City of Waterloo Airport Land Use and Height Overlay Zoning Ordinance. Therefore all conditions are met. TECHNICAL REVIEW The Waterloo Fire Department noted that they will review potential COMMITTEE site impacts when the building drawings for the airport hangar is submitted. The Engineering Department indicated that it will be tasked with reviewing and approving the Storm Drainage plan as part of the building review process. STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request for a site plan RECOMMENDATION: amendment in the "M -2,P" Planned Manufacturing District, be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map for this area. 2. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on traffic conditions in the area. 3. The request would appear to have a positive impact upon the surrounding area by infusing private investment into and airport related use at the Waterloo Regional Airport. And with the following conditions(s): 1. That the final site plan meets all applicable city codes, regulations, etc. including, but not limited to, parking, landscaping, screening, drainage, setbacks,etc. SPA SW of 2814 Bestworth Lane Page 3 of Page 496 of 518 Site Plan Amendment — A -Line ALO LLC Southwest of 2814 Betsworth Lane 1,1,1,11,111111 X11°4 M iiIiII �IIIII 11 1 1 III;IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 11111101 11IIII111111I1IIIIIIIIIII„I(IIuIII �IIII�IIIIIIIIIII�I�.1.11,1�ii�ll;llllllllll,'+”f l dl I���� uH+!i1116.:mul,mW� Looking west from the driveway of 2814 Betsworth Lane.
