BACKGROUND INFORMATION A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the CDBG program. The 2020-21 Annual Action Plan describes the activities and funding amounts for projects occurring between July 1 ,2020 to June 30,2021. Certain reallocations of CDBG funds from one project or activity to another require a formal public review and public hearing process, called a substantial amendment. The City is looking to reallocate funds from projects that are not ready to be funded, not a good fit for CDBG funding, or are delayed in their delivery and therefore unlikely to meet HUD spending deadlines. Approximately $114,418 of CDBG funding is available for reallocation. This is due to the process of analyzing and identifying projects to improve project delivery and management. More details will be provided in the staff report for the public hearing. The 30-day public review and comment period for this Action Plan amendment began on September 28,2020, and will end on November 4,2020. ïhe City Council will consider approval and adoption of the 2020-21Annual Action Plan Amendment No. 1 and provide an opportunity for public comment at the November 4,2020 meeting.
