Jared Kirkleman, assistant city manager, told the City Commission that a required public-notification step for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) hearing had been missed and the item needed to be re-heard to meet CDBG deadlines.
Kirkleman apologized and asked to redo the public hearing to satisfy CDBG's strict notification requirements. The commission opened the hearing for 1012 Main Street, received no public comments, and a motion to close the public hearing was made by Commissioner Barrack and seconded by Commissioner Reuter. The commission voted "aye," and the hearing was closed.
Kirkleman characterized the action as a procedural redo to meet federal program requirements; no testimony was offered during the reopened hearing and the commission did not take further action on the grant at the meeting.
Ending: The hearing record was closed with no public comment; staff will proceed with the CDBG process according to program requirements.
