Snellville to accept roughly $250,000 in reprogrammed CDBG funds; total program now about $1.3 million
Summary
City staff told the mayor and council that Gwinnett County has reprogrammed federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to provide about $250,000 to Snellville, to be combined with an expected fiscal‑year 2025 allocation for a total of roughly $1.3 million for local CDBG projects.
City staff told the mayor and council at the Aug. 11 work session that Gwinnett County will pass through reprogrammed federal Community Development Block Grant funds to Snellville and that the city should expect approximately $250,000 from that reprogramming.
Staff explained that the funds are federal fiscal year (FFY) carryover and reprogramming handled by Gwinnett County as the HUD subrecipient. The presentation said the $250,000 is separate from an expected FFY2025 allocation; when combined with the anticipated FFY2025 award (staff referenced a figure of about $1,072,000), the city—s total program for the period would be roughly $1.3 million.
Staff identified the community center project as an anticipated recipient of CDBG reimbursement and described the subrecipient agreement as standard administrative paperwork required so the city may receive reimbursements and comply with CDBG regulations. Staff said the county—s process is online and that the county will send a DocuSign link for city execution; staff named Barbara and Melissa as the city recipients for the DocuSign packet.
Staff asked the council to authorize the mayor and city manager to sign the subrecipient agreement once it is sent by the county. No formal vote was recorded in the transcript excerpted here; staff said the DocuSign link will be sent and the document executed by the designated city staff.
The staff presentation described the process as an administrative step driven by county reprogramming of unspent federal funds from prior program years and stressed that the city must follow CDBG rules to receive reimbursements.
