Board approves CDBG citizen participation plan and hires Regional Planning as administrator
Summary
Commissioners approved a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) citizen participation plan and an Administrative Services Agreement with Regional Planning to act as the county's CDBG administrator.
The Richland County Board of Commissioners approved a citizen participation plan required for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and entered an Administrative Services Agreement with Regional Planning to administer the program for the county.
County staff said the citizen participation plan is a procedural requirement for accepting CDBG dollars, and the administrative-services agreement will have Regional Planning serve as the county's CDBG administrator. The board moved and voted to approve both items.
Why it matters: Accepting CDBG dollars requires a citizen participation framework and an administrator to manage outreach, application review and program compliance. The actions authorize the county to proceed with CDBG-related activities under the terms of the plan and the administrator agreement.
Details and vote: The motions to approve the citizen participation plan and to contract with Regional Planning passed with affirmative votes from the commissioners present. The meeting record does not detail the dollar amount of any specific CDBG award; it reflects only the administrative and procedural approvals needed to accept and manage CDBG funds.
Ending: Staff will coordinate with Regional Planning on next steps for CDBG outreach and administration; no additional budget appropriation or specific project awards were approved at the meeting.
