|
| | | | | | | | | STATEMENT OF ISSUE | The Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) is a document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to notify the public of the local policies and process for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The proposed CPP is a revision to the existing CPP, adopted with the 2017-2022 Consolidated Plan, and outlines the current processes, procedures and conduct of the CDBG Advisory Committee, CDBG applicants, and the CDBG staff. The City Council is now being asked to approve the Amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan. |
|
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION | The proposed CPP is a revision to the existing CPP, adopted with the 2017-2022 Consolidated Plan, and outlines the current processes, procedures and conduct of the CDBG Advisory Committee, CDBG applicants, and the CDBG staff. The new CPP will be effective January 21, 2020 through June 30, 2022. The CPP is used to inform and instruct the public on activities related to CDBG, such as the application procedures, and review and ranking of submitted applications.
The proposed amendments include:
- The revised makeup of a CDBG Advisory Committee;
- The reinstatement of an application process for Non-Public Service activities;
- The addition of a Community Outreach Plan.
The above changes were included as a recommendation by HUD. There were no comments from the public during the 30-day public notice period.

| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT | | Adoption of this resolution will ensure the City is in compliance with HUD regulations and can continue to receive CDBG entitlement funding. |
