Council forwards CDBG anti-displacement appendix and schedules second hearing
Summary
The council reviewed and approved a residential anti-displacement and relocation assistance appendix required for the town's CDBG application, and scheduled a second public hearing for May 14 to finalize CDBG grant matters and ensure proper legal notice.
The Lynndyl Town Council reviewed and moved to approve an appendix to an ordinance titled the Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan as part of its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application requirements.
"This is for CDBG," said Jess (speaker 6) during the discussion, explaining that the appendix documents protections the town must have on file to qualify for certain grant activities. Jess clarified that CDBG rules mean the program would not be used to replace privately owned dwellings that are demolished and that staff must complete the checklist and verification to meet grant conditions.
The council voted to approve the appendix in principle and scheduled a second public hearing for the CDBG grant on Wednesday, May 14 at 7 p.m. Chair said the hearing should be quick but stressed staff must post the notice correctly; Kara (the clerk) was assigned to post the RFB/published notice in both the paper and on the town website to satisfy statutory notice requirements. Jess confirmed the notice would need minor corrections and that once posted the council would reconvene to finish the CDBG item.
No details were given in the transcript on the specific CDBG funding amounts or project scopes; councilors directed staff to complete the plan and ensure public-notice requirements were met before finalizing the application.
