City staff: annual HUD submission lists next year—s projects

A staff member said the city is required to submit an annual plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that outlines how the city will steward its HUD grant funds and lists the projects the city intends to undertake the following year. "That the city is required to submit to HUD and basically lets HUD know how you're gonna insure your grant funds on annual basis. And so inside of that plan, as she mentioned, it includes the projects that the city is wanting to undertake," the staff member said.

The staff member characterized the submission as an administrative requirement that identifies projects for the next year and invited questions from the council. No vote, motion, timetable or dollar amounts for projects were stated in the transcript excerpts provided.

The exchange occurred during the meeting's discussion of city planning and grant administration; the staff member offered a brief synopsis and asked council members to raise any questions after reviewing the material. The transcript does not show the council approving the plan, setting a submission date, or providing specific project-level details.

Because the transcript excerpts do not specify which HUD program or the plan's formal title (for example, Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, or CAPER), the article does not identify a specific HUD form or statute. The staff member's comments in the record are limited to the general statement that an annual HUD submission is required and that it includes projects the city plans to pursue in the coming year.
