SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima Office of Neighborhood Development Services, a division of the Department
of Community and Economic Development is submitting a One Year Action Plan as a continuum of
the Consolidated Five Year Strategy Plan submitted to the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development in 1996. The One Year Plan includes the proposed activities and
expenditures for the City of Yakima Community Development Block Grant and HOME Funds (see
attachments).
The proposed activities and use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
funds within designated Target Areas for the 1998 program year will focus on 1) infrastructure
upgrades and improvement, 2) enhancement of a community service program to promote youth
programs, 3) provision of additional safe, clean and decent housing affordable to low income
families, and 4) economic development activities which promote and support job creation and the
expansion of minority and women owned business opportunities. These activities have been
identified through recent community surveys, the neighborhood planning process, the City's five
year Consolidated Plan and other reports and grant applications.
The draft plan was advertised for a thirty day public comment period from October 15th through
November 14th. The comments and concerns submitted to the Office of Neighborhood
Development Services during the thirty day review will be included in the final draft. Public
comment was heard during the September 23rd public meeting conducted by the City Council
Neighborhood Development Committee meeting and will be received again during the November
18th City Council meeting. Approval of the resolution will permit submission of this application to
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In addition to approval of the 1998 Consolidated Plan, approval of this resolution expressly
delegates authority to the City Manager to execute all transactional documents associated with
carrying out eligible programs included in the Plan.
