Commissioners adopt fair housing resolution required for CDBG funding
Summary
The board approved a resolution affirming the county's commitment to fair housing; county staff said the document is required for Community Development Block Grant applications and compliance.
Franklin County commissioners on April 16 approved a resolution from the planning department reaffirming the county's commitment to fair housing. Staff said the resolution is required documentation for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and will be submitted with the county's fair housing notice to maintain compliance.
The item was introduced as agenda item 4.03; a commissioner asked for a motion and the board approved the resolution by voice vote with no recorded dissent. Commissioners noted that the matter had been previously discussed at an earlier meeting where planning staff (named as Colleen and Liz at that session) presented a proclamation on fair housing.
Why it matters: the resolution helps preserve the county's eligibility for CDBG funds, which require fair housing notices and supporting documentation as part of grant compliance.
Formal action: agenda item 4.03 was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" responses but does not list individual tallies or mover/second names.
Ending: The board approved the resolution and continued with the evening's agenda.
