Body
NOTE: On October 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated $379,059 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the City for the Fairlawn Park Safety & Mobility Project and planning and administration expenses. Since that date, the Fairlawn Park project was completed under budget and two communities have been identified as low-to-moderate income areas in need of public improvements. Planning and administration costs have proven more costly and warrant an increase to the maximum allowed by HUD which is 20% of grant funding.
Amendments to the approved 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan include: Increasing planning and administration from 15% to 20% for Program Years 2019 through 2022, and adding Youth Park improvements (years 2019-2022), and Orchid Lake improvements (2019).
Amendments to the approved 2019 Action Plan will include: Reallocating funds from year two of the Fairlawn Park Safety & Mobility Project ($322,201) to construction of a Tot Lot at Orchid Lake ($55,000), Youth Park Complex improvements ($248,248) and increasing planning and administration from 15% ($56,858) to 20% ($75,811).
