Delaney recessed the regular meeting of the CDAC to conduct the Public Hearing on the 2015 CAPER and the update to the Citizen Participation Plan. Holley asked if the $1 neighborhood association membership fee was set by federal regulations. Dresslar said she thought it was part of the regulations; the association cannot charge more than $1, but individuals can donate more.

 

Simmons asked what CAPER stood for. Dresslar said it is the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report on the activities of the last grant year. The report was made available on September 15, 2016 and staff will take public comment on the report until October 15, 2016; the report will then be submitted to HUD.

 

Dresslar explained the Citizen Participation Plan has been updated to include additional information on the upcoming Assessment of Fair Housing. The document was made available on September 22, 2016 and staff will take public comment on it for fifteen days.

 

There was no public comment at the Public Hearing.

6. Miscellaneous.

Dresslar updated the committee on the neighborhood newsletter coordinated print bid. The specifications of each neighborhood newsletter were given to the City’s current print bid winner. The resulting bid was less for some of the neighborhoods but more for others. Staff recommended the neighborhood associations get together and get quotes from other printers to try to lower each neighborhood’s cost.

 

7. Public Comment.

There was no public comment.

 

8. Adjourn.
