Committee reviews multiple grant resolutions; minutes adopted and one item tabled to July 8
Summary
The Community Services Committee reviewed several grant- and budget-related resolutions including HUD, state and other awards; the committee adopted the May 27 minutes, did not record votes on most presented resolutions during the committee meeting, and tabled resolution 25091 to July 8, 2025.
The New Castle County Community Services Committee on June 24 reviewed multiple grant- and budget-related resolutions that would authorize staff to apply for federal and state funding or amend grant budgets. Committee chairs presented each item for review; most items were explained and opened for comment but the transcript does not record committee votes on those resolutions during this meeting. One procedural vote was recorded: the committee adopted the minutes of the May 27 Community Services Committee meeting.
Items reviewed include resolutions to authorize application for HUD assistance under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (and the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act), repeal two earlier resolutions tied to the state youth employment program (listed as 25058/25059), multiple grant-budget amendments to accept state and federal funds (including HUD ESG and HOME program amendments, Delaware Division of Libraries funding allocations to several libraries, and a Healthy Homes grant from the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services), and other operating-budget and grants adjustments administered by the Department of Community Services.
The committee specifically identified these items on the agenda by number (as spoken in the meeting): 25111 (file HUD application, as read), 25074/25058/25059 (repeal related youth employment resolutions), 25075 (Amend grants budget — Absalom Jones Senior Center), 25076 (FY2026 Emergency Solutions Grants), 25077 (FY2026 Community Development Block Grant allocations), 25078 (HOME Investment Partnerships Program for FY25–26), 25079 (Delaware Division of Libraries anticipated funds to individual libraries), 25080 (Healthy Homes grant), 25087 (amend operating budget for youth employment), and 25091 (read in and tabled to 07/08/2025). The transcript records that 25091 was tabled to July 8, 2025. For all other listed resolutions, the meeting record shows presentation and opportunity for comment but does not record final action in committee.
Motion to approve the May 27 minutes was made, seconded and adopted with the committee clerk saying “All in favor?” and members responding “Aye.” Committee members were repeatedly asked if there was public comment online; the clerk reported no public comment for most items.
Because most resolutions were presented for committee review with no formal vote recorded in the transcript, outcomes for those items are listed below as “not specified” where a final committee vote is not on this meeting’s record. Resolution 25091 was explicitly tabled to July 8, 2025.
