Public hearing on $500,000 CDBG request for Kemper aftercare renovations closes after presenter absence
Summary
An applicant sought $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for aftercare program renovations at Kemper academic hall; the applicant described moving an addition to the rear to meet historic-preservation review, but the scheduled presenter was absent and the council closed the hearing.
A public hearing on a Community Development Block Grant request for renovations at Kemper academic hall closed quickly on June 17 after the meeting’s scheduled presenter did not appear.
Speaker 1 described the application on behalf of the applicant: the city is seeking $500,000 in CDBG funds to support aftercare-program renovations at the Kemper academic hall. Speaker 1 said this was the "second stab" at the application and that the main change from the prior submission was locating the proposed addition on the rear of the building, adjacent to the parking lot and roads, rather than the front, to address historic-preservation review and to remove an adverse effect during the review process.
The chair noted the presenter was not present and closed the hearing. Council did not take action on the grant at the meeting; Speaker 1 invited any public comments before the hearing’s close, and none were recorded beyond staff explanation.
Next procedural steps for the CDBG application were not specified on the record at the meeting; no vote on the grant was taken that evening.
