BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements before any amendment to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program are approved. The Action Plan is the annual implementing document for the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan and provides a detailed description of each activity proposed for the fiscal year, as well as the City's CDBG budget and goals for the fiscal year. Reallocation The public hearing will allow for the amendment of the 2015-16 Annual Action Plan to accommodate the reallocation of CDBG funding from one project to another. We currently have $69,943 of CDBG Program funding allocated to the Kofu Park ADA Improvement project. A bid of $92,500 was received from AM Stephens on May 4, 2016. A minimum of $22,557 is needed to fund this project and we do have CDBG funding available from another City project, the Hutchins Street Square North Entrance ADA improvements, which has sufficient funds to be completed. Our program guidelines, however, require City Council action through a Public Hearing for any increase or decrease in the amount allocated to a project/activity by more than 25 percent, which in this case would be $17,485. A draft of Action Plan Amendment No. 3 is attached as Exhibit A and available for public review and comment for 30 days prior to the public hearing.
