City opens CAPER public hearing, reports roughly $297k in expenditures and explains CDBG eligibility
Summary
Taylor staff presented the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the CDBG program, reporting roughly $297,000 in expenditures to date and noting a pending final draw that could add about $80k–$100k. Staff explained HUD-established low/mod income area rules for road projects and procurement requirements.
Taylor's Community Development staff presented a draft CAPER for the program year ending June 30 and said current draft expenditures are roughly $297,000 with anticipated additional drawdowns of approximately $80,000–$100,000 before the final report. "As of right now, we have total expenditures, $2.97 $1.31, so almost 300,000," the director said; staff clarified that some invoices remain in process and that the final draw will be reflected in the completed CAPER.
Staff reviewed the program's caps (a 15% cap on public services and a 20% cap on administrative costs) and answered council questions about CDBG eligibility for street projects, explaining that federal CDBG funds can only be used within HUD-designated low and moderate income areas and that federal procurement bidding rules apply. Council members asked about specific road projects and scheduling; staff said certain roads would be included in future CAPER cycles once construction and final invoicing are complete.
