MONITORING PLAN ( 91. 230) Program evaluation and monitoring is the means by which the City provides administrative oversight and performance testing of activities undertaken through HUD assistance under the Consolidated Plan. Evaluation and monitoring applies to both activities directly undertaken by the City as well as sub -recipients and other work or services performed on a contractual basis. Monitoring of the CDBG program will be conducted by the City' s Engineering Services Department. Monitoring will be used to ensure that activities carried out are in furtherance of the plan and meet the goals and objectives set forth in the Consolidated Plan. The monitoring will be on a monthly basis to ensure that program activities are being accomplished in a timely manner. Ongoing evaluation is the primary mechanism for tracking performance and compliance. In the case of individual activities and sub -recipient agreements, disbursement of funds is tied to maintenance of compliance through each disbursement, including proper documentation of cost through that disbursement. Ongoing compliance is measured against the specifics of the particular agreement. Satisfactory resolution of any compliance or performance difficulties at the time of a planned disbursement is required prior to disbursement. In the rase of sub- recipient and other forms or agreements or contracts for individual activities, the measurement of progress will vary depending upon the type of activity and the specific schedule, reporting and other benchmarks established for the particular activity. Educating the sub -recipients on the requirements of the program is an important element of the monitoring process. Prior to execution of any sub - agreement, all materials and information, including the compliance and performance measures, are provided to the recipient. Monitoring activities will be conducted in a positive and proactive manner, identifying and resolving problems early during an activity, providing technical assistance when 15  feasible and necessary, maintaining communication and feedback on performance, any required reporting, and ongoing compliance with terms of the assistance and contract.
