Public Hearing: Amendment to FYI I Annual Action Plan
Aggle Tauke reviewed the proposed amendment, which is due to the increase in the
CDBO allocation from HUD by $107,824. The changes proposed are to fund the
Multicultural Family center 2nd floor expansion ($70,259 ) , increase the Neighborhood
Infrastructure Improvements by $10,000 to $50,000 and increase Planning
Administration by $21,555 to $89,789. The amendment would also revise the sidewalk
assistance guidelines in the Neighborhood Infrastructure Program. currently, the
Sidewalk Program pays seventy -five (75 %) of the cost to replace the public sidewalk for
homeowners earning no more than 80% median income, and the amendment would
vary the assistance provided based on the homeowner's percentage of median income,
allowing assistance to be granted to more homeowners..

stated that in addition to the proposed CDBG funds, significant additional funds would
be needed for this $000,000 project. Dana reported that programming has continued to
