BACKGROUND
The FY 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan sets forth specific activities and expenditures using funds received through the supplemental Community Development Block Grant COVID-19 (CDBG-CV) program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The City received a total of $1,339,584 in CDBG-CV funds.
When a substantial change (i.e., adding an activity, canceling an activity, or redirecting funds) is proposed to the City’s Annual Action Plan, the City requires that the public be notified, and a Public Hearing be held to allow the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed substantial changes.
The City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025, for the adoption of Substantial Amendment No.7. The City must however expend 100% of their CDBG-CV funds by February 2027. An Ad-Hoc Committee Meeting was held on Thursday, May 29th, 2025, to consider the modification of CDBG-CV programs and activity funding levels. Based on feedback staff received during the May 29th Ad-Hoc Committee Meeting, the following recommendations are presented to the community and the City Council for consideration.

A Public Review and Public Hearing are required when a Substantial Amendment to the Annual Action Plan are proposed. The Public Hearing will be held on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., as referenced above.
