DISCUSSION:
The City's Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities and proposed

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities

ending September 30, 2012. This year's Action Plan also summarizes the use of program income totaling
$75,000.00 resulting from activities using CDBG funds. The purpose of these grant funds is to primarily
benefit low and moderate income City residents, with ESG funds primarily benefiting homeless persons and
HOPWA funds primarily benefiting persons with HIV /AIDS.
The public hearing on the City's Action Plan on July 26, 2011, was the first public hearing for the HUD -
required citizen participation process. A second public hearing for the HUD - required citizen participation
process will be held on August 2, 2011 at which time the City Council is scheduled to approve the Action
Plan. A 30 -day public comment period was held from June 28, 2011 to July 27, 2011. Any comments will
be maintained by the Housing and Economic Development Department in accordance with federal
