1. Introduction
The City of Tamarac was officially incorporated on July 19, 1963, the City is strategically located in the
center of Broward County, between Miami -Dade and Palm Beach Counties in South Florida. The City of
Tamarac participated in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement

Plan is the fifth year (FY 2019/2020) of the Five -Year Consolidated Planning period, which covers years
2015 to 2019. The Annual Action Plan outlines the activities the City will undertake in the fiscal year
2019/2020 (October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020). Both the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action
Plan outline the strategies implemented by the City in providing Federal grant allocations funds to
promote affordable housing initiatives and socio-economic programs to address identified community
development needs.
In Fiscal Year 2019/2020, it is estimated that the City of Tamarac will receive a total of $399,552 to address
identified community development needs. To receive CDBG funding, the City must assess local housing
and community development needs and resources, and socioeconomic impediments toward building
viable neighborhoods. The projects identified in this plan will be primarily used to benefit low- to
moderate -income residents of the City.

Along with the Vison, Mission and Goals of the City of Tamarac, this Annual Action Plan also incorporates
priorities and programs addressing the basic goals of providing suitable living environment, providing
decent housing and expand economic opportunities while primarily benefitting very low, low and
moderate income persons.
CARES Act Amendment
On March 27, 2020 the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) was signed
into law to assist communities in their efforts to prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic. The CARES Act included supplemental formula allocations to HUD's CPD programs,
including CDBG for the City of Tamarac. The additional CDBG CARES Act funds allocated to the City was
$245,450, with provisions that suspends the 15% cap on public services and allows HUD to waive further
program requirements if necessary. The CARES Act CDBG-CV grants were awarded in two rounds (CV1 &
CV3). This first allocation is for CDBG-CV1.
Round 3 CDBG-CV3 Amendment (Update): On September 11, 2020, HUD made available the remaining
CDBG-CV allocation funds to entitlement grantees. The allocation named CDBG-CV3 (Allocation 3 — Part
A) will be the final allocation for CDBG CARES Act funding. The CDBG-CV3 formula allocation was
developed by HUD to meet the statutory requirements of the CARES Act and the President's August 8,
2020 Executive Order "Fighting the Spread of COVID-19 by Providing Assistance to Renters and
Homeowners." The CDBG-CV3 funding allocated to the City is $339,281 and the Annual Action Plan has
been amended to reflect the additional CDBG-CV funding. Total funding from CDBG-CV1 and CDBG-CV3
is now $584,731.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This Annual Action Plan will focus on projects and activities that support the results of the Community
Needs Survey identified in the City's Five Year Consolidated Plan. The survey results are remarkably
similar to those of the past five years. Priority continues to be preservation of the City's affordable
housing supply. Objectives for the next five years will be to provide home rehabilitation assistance and
down payment assistance to income eligible applicants. Additionally, providing public services to meet
the needs of Tamarac's rapidly changing demographics continues to be a high priority. The objectives to
meet this need will be on -going evaluation of the types of services and the population most in need for
such services.
3. Evaluation of past performance
The City is responsible for ensuring compliance with all rules and regulations associated with the CDBG
grant programs. The City's Annual Action Plans and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Reports (CAPERS) provide details on projects and programs completed by the City over the past five years.
The City recognizes that the evaluation of past performance is critical to ensuring the City is implementing
activities effectively and those activities align with the City's overall strategies and goals.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
During Fiscal Year 2017/2018, the most recent completed year, U.S Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) funds (CDBG & HOME) have assisted with the following:
• Provided home rehabilitation for seven owner -occupied homes, meeting 100% of the goal.
• Provided a full-time temporary social workerthat assisted 102 unduplicated residents in obtaining
referrals, counseling and other social service needs.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
The City of Tamarac provides for and encourages citizen participation with particular emphasis on persons
of low- to moderate -income. The City provides citizens reasonable and timely access to local meetings,
information and records. During the development of the Five Year Plan (FY 2015/16-2019/20 the City sent
out a "Needs Survey" to local and internal service providers as well as posted the survey on-line for
additional public input. These service providers represent a wide range of individuals with expertise in
engineering, planning, social services, economic development and parks and recreation. The consultation
agencies were utilized to determine feasibility, duplication and consistency with local governmental plans,
conformance with local zoning district, environmental impact and cost effectiveness. There were 3 public
meetings held in orderto obtain input from residents and those with any vested interest in future services
to be provided by the City through its federally funded programs.
All projects must be proven feasible prior to receiving HUD funds, as many require documentation
indicating financial feasibility and conformance with applicable regulations and constraints (i.e. zoning,
land use, flood plan, etc.). Projects will not be funded if the proposed project duplicates an existing
program which the public sector administers.
A draft of the FY2019/2020 Annual Plan was made available for public review, input, and comment before
being adopted by the City's Commission and subsequently will be submitted to HUD. Citizens are
encouraged to participate through public hearings held before the development of the draft, during
review of the draft and adoption of the Action Plan.

21, 2020 to May 25, 2020. The Plan could be downloaded and viewed from the City's website at:

public of the substantial amendment to the 2019 AAP. HUD provisions eliminate in -person public
hearings, but allows grantees the option to hold virtual online hearings.

FY2019 AAP and provide written comment. A copy of amended draft was available for review and

AP-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(I)
1. Introduction
The City of Tamarac is the lead agency for completing the City's Consolidated Plan under the CDBG
program. The City receives its HOME funds through the Broward County HOME Consortium. All other
grant funds received from other entities are administered by the City Community Development
Department, Housing Division.
The City collaborates with several community stakeholders. Private and non-profit providers, advocacy
agencies, housing developers, social service providers and other key partners play an instrumental role in
addressing the needs of the residents of Tamarac. Grant funding does not cover all needs, therefore,
external partnerships ensure continuity of resources for all.
City staff is regularly familiarized with the needs of the community via the various professional affiliations,
committees, memberships and associations. On -going review and consultation is the primary method of
providing the best services to residents of Tamarac.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and
service agencies (91.215(1)).
During the development of the Five Year Plan (FY 2015/16-2019/20) the City sent out a "Needs Survey'
to local and internal service providers as well as posted the survey on-line for additional public input.
These service providers represent a wide range of individuals with expertise in engineering, planning,
social services, economic development and parks and recreation. The consultation agencies were utilized
to determine feasibility, duplication and consistency with local governmental plans, conformance with
local zoning district, environmental impact and cost effectiveness. There are 3 public meetings as well to
obtain input for both residents and those with any vested interest in future services to be provided by the
City through its federally funded programs.
The "Community Needs Survey" was sent to 15 agencies, in addition to being placed on the City's website
for a 30 day period.
All projects must be proven feasible prior to receiving HUD funds, as many require documentation
indicating financial feasibility and conformance with applicable regulations and constraints (i.e. zoning,
land use, flood plan, etc.). Projects will not be funded if the proposed project duplicates an existing
program which the public sector administers.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City is a member of the Broward County Homeless Partnership Initiative, which is the lead agency for
the regional (Broward County) Continuum of Care. The City supports the Initiative and its efforts to end
homelessness. Through regular meetings and reports provided by Broward County, the City is kept up to
date with Tamarac's homeless population.
Broward's Continuum of Care addresses all aspects of homelessness including prevention, outreach,
emergency shelter, transitional and permanent affordable housing, and supportive services. This work
includes:
• Facilitating community, business and governmental involvement in the homeless continuum of
care
• Direct oversight of the County's three regional Homeless Assistance Centers
• Creating new and innovative programs to serve Broward's homeless population (such as the
County's first homeless medical respite care facility)
Participation in the creation of applications and requests for proposals
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HIMIS
The City of Tamarac is not a recipient of ESG funds and therefore does not participate in the development
or use of ESG funds.

AP-35 Projects - 91.420, 91.220(d)
Introduction
The statutes for the HUD CDBG grant programs set forth three basic goals which are closely related to the
major commitments and priorities of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). Each of these goals must primarily benefit very low, low and moderate income persons within the
context described below:
1. To provide suitable living environment
2. To provide decent housing
3. To expand economic opportunities
This annual action plan incorporates priority projects and programs addressing these goals.
SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT:
The City will reallocate funds from Housing Programs to Public Services. CDBG-CV funds have also been
added to create CV projects.

Table 7 — Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The main focus is maintaining affordable housing and public services to all low -moderate income residents
of Tamarac, including those with special needs.
The major obstacle is funding, or lack thereof. Both federal and state allocations fluctuate and are often
decreased from year to year making planning for the future and meeting the needs of the underserved
difficult.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing-91.420, 91.220(j)
Introduction
The City of Tamarac recognizes the importance of promoting affordable housing. The City is experiencing
a growth in population size and recognizes the need to identity effective strategies to provide affordable
housing.
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 City of Tamarac promotes affordable housing and removes barriers to affordable housing by the use
of the following strategies:
• Expediting the processing of approvals of development orders or permits for affordable housing
projects.
• Use of a formal process by which the City considers, before adoption, policies, procedures,
ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing.
• The City allows for flexible lot configurations, including zero -lot- line, for affordable housing
• The City supports development near transportation hubs, major employment centers and mixed
use development.

Program Specific Requirements
AP-90 Program Specific Requirements - 91.420, 91.220(1)(1,2,4)
Introduction
PROGRAM INCOME is only generated when a previous recipient of CDBG funds (or other entitlement
programs) defaults on the terms of their deferred loan and repayment is due to the City. The City's Home
Rehabilitation activity is the only CDBG activity in which funds are issued in the form of a deferred loan.
Recapture Terms/Affordability Period for the Housing activities are as such:
• Deferred loan secured by a lien against the property for a period of fifteen (15) years with zero
(0) percent interest with a principal reduction of twenty (20) percent beginning in year eleven. At
the end of the fifteenth year, the loan is forgiven. The pro -rated repayment is due upon the sale
or transfer of the property or if cash equity is taken out within the fifteen (15) year loan term.
• The City's loan documents provide that the obligation for repayment shall continue for the entire
recapture terms even in the event of the death of the homeowner. The obligation to repay funds
during the recapture period in the event of the sale of the property, or due to failure to comply
with the obligations as stated in the loan document shall transfer to any heir or beneficiary of the
deceased property owner.
• The sale, transfer of ownership of the Property, refinancing of the Property with a cash payment
to the Owner -Occupant, or the Owner -Occupant's vacation of the property as a primary residence
during the fifteen (15) year term of the Agreement shall constitute a default. The prorated
amount of the principal balance of the Deferred Payment Loan that is remaining to be paid at the
time of the default shall be payable, in full, to the City of Tamarac.
Should Program Income be received, funds are returned to the current fiscal year and allocated to the
activity to which funds were originally expended.
