Background Information:
The Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) contains requirements that must be followed for the creation or amendment of the five-year Consolidated Plan and grant-specific Action Plans. It sets forth the number of public hearings that must be held, the length of the comment period, and the timing of notifications to the public. It also ensures that the City provides accessibility to participate for people with disabilities or who have limited English language capabilities.
The CPP has been updated to include requirements related to the new Community Development Block Grant - Coronavirus Response (CDBG-CV) grant. This grant’s process will be similar to the creation of the Annual CDBG Action Plan; however, due to the urgent nature of the situation, the comment period for planning actions related to the CDBG-CV grant is five days instead of the typical 30 days. This shorter comment time, and the ability to use virtual hearings due to social distancing recommendations, has been added to the CPP.
City Council held a public hearing May 19, 2020, regarding the proposed changes, and the draft CPP was posted for public comment from May 24-30, 2020. No comments were received.
