SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Each year, HUD requires the City of Yakima to submit an Annual Action plan for the use of
CDBG funds. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided an
additional $318,000 of CDBG funds to the city for 2009. In order to access the funds, the
city must amend the annual action plan, which requires a seven day written comment
period. Typically, an action plan amendment also requires a public heanng. While the HUD
Seattle is not requiring a public heanng for the ARRA funds, staff recommends taking this
extra step to ensure that all requirements are met in the event of a rule change or
clarification, and to better inform the public of the proposed investments for the funds. Staff
requests that council set the date of June 5, 2009, for the public heanng on the CDBG-
Recovery funding.
