RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the city council of the city of Duluth hereby adopts the amended community development program citizen participation plan dated May 2019.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution will implement recommended changes in the city of Duluth’s citizen participation plan. The plan ensues that Duluth is in compliance with housing and urban development (HUD) Regulation 24 CFR 91.105 that states the city will ensure citizen participation in the development of the consolidated plan and annual funding processes; including the noticing of hearings, public comment periods, and other community development committee processes. The need for the amendment was to incorporate language that outlines the process of how the city will proceed if the final funding amount as identified by HUD differs from earlier estimates.
The community development committee held a public hearing on the proposed changes to the plan on April 23, 2019 and voted to recommend the amended citizen participation plan to the city council. A 30-day public comment period was advertised from April 8, 2019 to May 7, 2019, during which no comments were received.
