Durham Heights City Council approves 2026–27 CDBG annual action plan and five-year consolidated plan
Summary
The Durham Heights City Council approved the 2026–2030 CDBG consolidated plan and the 2026–2027 annual action plan, including funding categories for a sidewalk program; the approval followed a staff presentation and brief council questions about packet size and program duration.
Durham Heights City Council voted to approve the 2026–2030 consolidated plan and the 2026–2027 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program during a special meeting on Aug. 5, 2026. Councilman Saab moved approval and Councilwoman King seconded; the chair called for the ayes and declared the motion carried by voice vote.
CEDD Director DeBeija presented the documents and answered council questions about the packet and program scope. "This is pretty much it's a it's a standard packet that just goes through ... This is the program. This is how money can be spent," DeBeija said, describing the HUD-derived template and how eligible categories are listed. She told the council that the sidewalk program is included in the plan for 2026–2027 and that council approval is given for one year at a time, even though the consolidated plan covers a five-year period.
Council members pressed for clarity on what changed since the study session and on the plan's timeline. A council member noted the packet size (referencing a 233-page packet, front and back) and asked whether the sidewalk program could be carried forward into subsequent years; staff said the program can be continued if the council chooses to include it in future annual actions. The transcript records no public commenters on the plan; the council took a voice vote and the chair announced that the ayes had it.
The council did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript; the action was recorded as a voice vote and the chair declared the motion approved. The council subsequently moved to adjourn.
