Summary
Council members discussed a revised allocation schedule for the 2025 Community Development Block Grant awards that reduces administrative costs by $21,000; the mayor said the revised schedule slightly decreases funding to some nonprofits and will be presented for a vote at the next meeting.
The Saratoga Springs City Council discussed revisions to the 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual plan after staff proposed a $21,000 reduction to the city's administration allocation.
Brian Schlatter, chair of the CDBG process (referenced by the mayor), presented recommendations and the mayor said the city's proposed budget could not absorb the full administrative cost as previously allocated. The mayor said staff prepared a revised schedule that lowers administration by $21,000 and trims a few nonprofit award amounts minimally to maintain overall allocations.
The mayor indicated the revised allocation schedule had been circulated to council members and that a final vote on the new allocations would occur at the next regular meeting. Staff said they would provide the revised schedule and supporting documents for the agenda packet.
Council members did not vote on the revised CDBG allocations at the pre-meeting; the item was scheduled for a formal vote at the next meeting.
