The CAPER will be posted for a thirty day public comment period, beginning on September 20, 2018. The CAPER will be sent to HUD no later than October 31, 2018.

 

Dresslar reminded the committee it is very important to have a quorum at this meeting, to be able to hold the required public hearing.

6.    Miscellaneous/Calendar

The next meeting of the CDAC will be September 27, 2018, at 5:45pm.

 

Dresslar said historically the CDAC has voted to cancel the October, November, and December meetings. If there is a quorum at the September 27, 2018 meeting, this option will be discussed. Holley asked if they should vote now on canceling those meetings. Dresslar said she would suggest waiting to see if there is a quorum at the September 27, 2018 for the public hearing before voting on those cancellations.
