Commission hears staff plan to seek CDBG funds for Reagan Street repairs
Summary
City staff recommended applying for $350,000 in county-administered CDBG funds (with a 20% city match) to repair Reagan Street between Farquhar and Cattell Avenue; commissioners opened public comment and closed the hearing with no objections.
Los Alamitos staff briefed the Planning Commission on Oct. 23 about the county-administered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and proposed submitting an application for $350,000 to repair Reagan Street (Farquhar to Cattell Avenue) in a census tract identified as low-income. The grant requires a 20% city match and is awarded competitively through Orange County Community Resources.
Staff noted prior uses of CDBG funds in the city — including ADA park improvements and asphalt replacement in apartment-row areas — and said the county assists with post-award management and HUD reporting. The commission opened the item for public comment; no speakers objected and staff said the request would proceed as a draft grant application for county competition.
Staff asked commissioners to note the timing: awarded projects require city match commitments and subsequent county oversight. The commission closed the public hearing and no formal action beyond the discussion was taken at the meeting.
What happens next If the city submits an application and wins the award, staff will return with final project details and a matching-funds plan for council approval.
