Commission holds required public hearing on $1.2 million CDBG housing application; approves grant resolutions
Summary
At a required second public hearing, staff described a proposed $1.2 million Community Development Block Grant application to rehabilitate up to 16 houses; the board approved the grant submission and a local‑match resolution during the meeting.
Andy Easton conducted a required public hearing for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) housing application and described a proposed $1,200,000 application that would aim to rehabilitate up to 16 houses, depending on applications and project costs.
Easton said the $1.2 million figure exceeds the county’s more typical $750,000 allocation and that listing 16 houses in the application can maximize the grant score though final project count depends on submitted homeowner applications and contractor estimates.
The board voted to approve the resolutions required to submit the grant application and to provide the local match. On the record the commission moved and seconded the resolutions; staff recorded the board’s approval during the meeting. Commissioners also discussed timing: the grant application deadline was referenced as May 16 and staff placed related resolutions in the packet and on the appropriate agenda items to meet submission requirements.
Votes at a glance: - Approval: resolution authorizing CDBG application submission (resolution 2025‑27) — motion passed on the record (vote recorded in meeting as approved). - Approval: local‑match resolution for the CDBG application — motion passed on the record (approved).
Ending: Staff and applicants were instructed to proceed with application submission and the board directed staff to include related resolutions in the packet to meet the grant deadline.
