Council reallocates $161,000 in carryover CDBG funds to finish historic library window project
Summary
The council approved a HUD‑compliant substantial amendment to reallocate $161,000 in carryover Community Development Block Grant funds to the Veterans Historic Library window replacement project, allowing staff to order windows and keep the project on schedule.
The City Council unanimously approved a substantial amendment and budget modification to reallocate $161,000 in unused carryover Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Veterans Historic Library window‑replacement project.
Deputy Community Services Director Kelly Orta told the council that HUD requires unused CDBG carryover funds to be committed by a fixed date; the city had identified $161,000 in eligible carryover funds and selected the library window project as the eligible public‑facilities work. The amendment shifts $16,859 from the MAER (Mobility Access Emergency Repair) account and $144,141 from the citywide curb‑ramp/public‑improvements account into the library project.
Orta said work is underway and that public‑facilities and ADA work at the library will continue using other funding sources; the CDBG reallocation specifically helps prepay manufacturing and materials so the window procurement can proceed before grant deadlines. No public comments were received during the 30‑day notice period required by HUD.
The council adopted the required resolution by unanimous vote and staff will proceed to order windows and incorporate the change into the annual action plan.
