Bellevue staff reports $504,000 in CDBG spending, says 100% went to low/mod activities
Summary
A staff presenter told the council the city spent about $504,000 in the CDBG program year, that 100% of activity funds supported low- and moderate-income activities, and that eight new activities will begin next year; a six-member CDBG committee conducts application reviews.
At the Dec. 16 meeting the council opened a public hearing on the City’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the 2024–2025 CDBG program year.
A staff presenter explained the city spent about $504,000 during the reporting period and reported that 100% of activity funds were dedicated to low- and moderate-income activities, including housing and public facilities. The presenter said the city expects eight new CDBG activities to come online in January and described the application-review process: an initial staff review followed by recommendations from a six-member CDBG committee with one representative from each ward.
Council members asked about committee membership and reimbursement procedures; staff explained that grant recipients are reimbursed as they incur eligible expenses and any unspent funds are reallocated to the next program year.
The public hearing remained open for comment during the presentation; no additional public commenters were recorded in the meeting transcript. The council later closed the hearing and approved related CAPER actions as recorded on the agenda.
