Denison council approves CDBG awards, procurement rules and related grant certifications
Summary
Council unanimously approved a 2025 CDBG OT award (25-OT-002), adopted procurement policies, a residential anti-displacement plan, code of conduct, equal opportunity and related CDBG certifications needed for grant compliance.
At its Jan. 6 meeting, the Denison City Council approved a package of actions related to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) administration, including an award and multiple policies and certifications required for grant compliance.
Council approved the 2025 CDBG OT Award (25-OT-002). The council also adopted the Community Development Block Grant Procurement Policies and Procedures, the Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan, the Code of Conduct for CDBG grant administration, and the Equal Opportunity Policy Statement. Motions on these items were moved and seconded primarily by Council member Zupp-Smith and carried unanimously.
Council further approved the Recipient Certification of Procurement Compliance and the Certification of Compliance with CDBG procurement standards, an Affirmative Fair Housing Policy/Notice, and the required acknowledgement of environmental review requirements. Those steps appear aimed at ensuring the city satisfies federal and programmatic requirements tied to CDBG funding.
No public testimony on the CDBG items is recorded in the meeting minutes. The council did not attach additional conditions to the approvals; staff retain responsibility for subsequent grant administration and compliance steps.
