Mission council approves FY 2025–26 CDBG plan, allocates $1.07 million
Summary
The City Council approved the fiscal year 2025–26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan and authorized the city manager to execute related subrecipient agreements, directing roughly $1.07 million to parks, sewer improvements, public services and housing rehabilitation.
Mission — The Mission City Council on July 28 approved the city’s FY 2025–26 Community Development Block Grant annual action plan and authorized the city manager to sign subrecipient agreements, allocating $1,069,626 for public works, park projects, public services and housing rehabilitation.
The council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 19-95 after staff described the required 30-day public comment period and Citizens Advisory Committee recommendations. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires local jurisdictions to submit an annual action plan to receive CDBG funds.
The nut graf: The plan sets spending priorities for Mission’s CDBG allocation of $992,431 plus $77,001.95 in program income from the housing assistance program. Council and staff said the funding targets a mix of park upgrades, sewer and public-safety equipment, nonprofit service providers and a housing rehabilitation program aimed at elderly and disabled homeowners.
Key allocations listed by staff included $182,000 for Astroland Park playscape, $183,002.58 for sewer manhole improvements, $100,000 for portable radios for the fire department, $90,000 for housing rehabilitation, and $213,009.25 for general CDBG administration. Several local nonprofits received smaller public‑service awards, including the Boys & Girls Club ($57,881) and Spear Memorial Library ($42,062).
During the council discussion, staff confirmed that the $90,000 housing assistance line is for rehabilitation (minor repairs) rather than full reconstruction and that larger reconstruction projects could be considered later via an amendment if needed. City staff said the total available for FY25–26 is the figure above and that the Citizens Advisory Committee recommendations guided the distribution.
Quotes: “The annual action plan describes activities that will be undertaken with CDBG funds,” said a staff presenter during the meeting, describing HUD requirements and public‑hearing steps.
The council approved the plan and directed the city manager to execute subrecipient agreements so projects can proceed. Staff said further amendments could be brought forward later if additional reconstruction priorities emerge or public comments warrant changes.
