Committee approves $150,000 CDBG allocation, backing transit operations and code enforcement
Summary
Finance committee approved the city’s biannual Community Development Block Grant application for $150,000, recommending funding for Banana County Public Transit and city code enforcement in low‑income areas; an emergency clause was added because the application deadline is June 11.
The Medina City Council finance committee approved the city’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation application, keeping funding at $150,000 and recommending two local uses: operating support for Banana County Public Transit and funding for city code enforcement in income‑restricted areas.
City staff member Andrew said, “This year it'll be $150,000 which is the same as, the last time around,” and explained the selection process included a public hearing on March 12 and an announcement on April 23. Andrew said the recommended allocation also includes funds for fair housing and administrative services.
Why it matters: CDBG funds support low‑ and moderate‑income residents and local services. Andrew told the committee the emergency clause was requested because the application is due on June 11.
Committee action: A motion to approve the CDBG allocation application with an emergency clause passed by voice vote. The committee did not change the recommended recipients or amounts during the meeting.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the application and submit it by the June 11 deadline.
