Commission adopts CDBG budget; city to apply for $176,000 Old Daytona Road rebuild
Summary
The commission approved a resolution to adopt the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget and submit a competitive FY25‑26 application requesting $176,000 to rebuild Old Daytona Road (Marsh Road to Old NDB Road). Staff will submit the application to the county/HUD by the May 7 deadline.
The City Commission on April 21 approved a resolution adopting the fiscal year 2025‑26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget and directed staff to submit the city’s proposed capital project to Volusia County and HUD for review.
Emily Kunkel, senior planner, explained the county has changed its allocation method to a competitive process for fiscal year 2025‑26 and that partnering cities must now submit shovel‑ready capital projects with a minimum value of $100,000. Based on eligibility and the new process, staff recommended submitting a single proposed capital improvement project: a rebuild of Old Daytona Road from Marsh Road to Old New Britain (Old NDB) Road. Kunkel put the total projected project cost at $176,000 and said the work would remove the roadway and subbase and install a new subbase with a two‑inch asphalt roadway to a 24‑foot width.
Staff described the public process to date, including a public participation meeting at the City Commission on February 3 and an internal deadline for project requests. Staff will submit the city’s application to the county for HUD review before the May 7 application deadline; award notices are expected from HUD and the county in October or November.
The motion to adopt the CDBG budget and authorize the application was made by Vice Mayor Jessica Davis, seconded by Commissioner Richard Paiva, and passed unanimously.
