City staff opened a public hearing on the city’s 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to fund targeted sidewalk rehabilitation in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Staff said surveys and engineering estimates support eligibility and that the city plans to use street sales tax revenue as the local match. "We are looking at a project cost of $1,874,948 with a grant request of $1,406,211," consultant Rosemary told the council, adding the balance of $468,737 would come from the city’s sales tax match.
After taking no public comment, the council moved, seconded and approved Resolution 2026-12 certifying legal authority to submit the application and Resolution 2026-13 assuring the Kansas Department of Commerce the city will maintain improvements after completion. Staff noted an anti-displacement provision and a 10-day post-hearing comment window; the application deadline was stated as Sept. 20, with funding decisions expected by mid-October.
