Chino Hills council approves 2026–27 CDBG action plan; consent and emergency update pass unanimously
Summary
The council approved the 2026–27 CDBG annual action plan and allocations including $61,000 for the home improvement program and $212,000 for Los Serranos infrastructure; the consent calendar and a City Hall fire emergency update also passed 5–0.
The Chino Hills City Council unanimously approved the 2026–27 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan at its meeting. City analyst Sarah Snyder presented the plan, reporting the city's federal allocation for the program year as $388,505 — about 3% less than the previous year — and noting approximately $21,000 in unspent prior‑year funds that staff proposed applying to the Home Improvement Program.
Snyder said staff recommended allocating the maximum allowable 20% (about $77,000) for administrative costs and up to 15% (about $58,000) for public‑service programs. With the added prior‑year funds, the Home Improvement Program would receive roughly $61,000 in total, and staff proposed $212,000 for Los Serranos infrastructure projects. "Our allocation for this upcoming year is $388,505," Snyder said, noting the small reduction from last year and the distribution of administrative and public‑service set‑asides.
There were no public speakers during the hearing. Councilmember Bennett moved to approve the action plan and Councilmember Rogers seconded; the vote was 5–0 in favor. The council also adopted the consent calendar (items 11–20) by the same margin.
Separately, the council reviewed Update No. 17 to the City Hall fire emergency, described by the city manager as the final restoration phase to replace cabinetry and glass at customer counters. The manager said projected restoration costs are about $5,400,000 and the vast majority is expected to be paid by insurance. Council voted 5–0 to receive and file the update.
The council did not amend the CDBG plan at the meeting; staff will execute grant agreements and related subrecipient receipts as authorized by the council.
