Planning board certifies CDBG project list and adopts staff findings for FY 2023–24
Summary
After a presentation by Church Community Housing consultant Robert Plain, the planning board adopted the staff report and certified proposed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) activities for FY 2023–24, approving staff findings of fact by voice vote.
The planning board heard a presentation from Robert Plain of Church Community Housing Corporation on the slate of proposed CDBG-funded projects for FY 2023–24 and then voted to adopt the staff report as findings of fact, certifying that the proposed activities are not in conflict with the comprehensive land use plan.
Plain summarized proposed project requests including: $800,000 for a north-end skatepark/basketball area to add bubblers, bathrooms and shade; roughly $320,000 for McKinney shelter operating support (noting a typical staff request is about $180,000); a security upgrades request for the Newport Housing Authority for which documents showed inconsistent figures (reported as both $500,000 and $315,000); and an estimated $40,000 request for dental equipment for East Bay Community Action Program. The Boys and Girls Club had been listed for a $500,000 after-school program request but the presenter said they will not apply this year. After discussion the board moved, seconded and approved the staff report; the chair called for the ayes and the motion passed unanimously.
