Hold a public hearing and inform the public of a comment period from September 22nd through November 4, 2025 to receive citizen participation and comments regarding the second substantial amendment to the 2024-2025 annual action plan for the reprogramming of CDBG funds in the amount of 1,349,445.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Welcome back.

Good evening, Miss Magnair.

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you.

On July 15th, 2025, staff presented an update to council on the reunification center project, a proposed city-owned emergency shelter facility.

Council provided a motion of direction to suspend the project until further notice.

Additional direction was given on how to proceed with the preservation or reallocation of the project funding.

The capital improvement funds were to and are being held until a final decision is made to reactivate or terminate the project.

And the community development block grant money is uh to be reallocated to a CDBG eligible project.

As noted in the presentation from July 15th, reallocation of the CDBG funds require a substantial amendment to the annual action plan.

A substantial amendment occurs when there's a change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity or project.

The first substantial amendment to the annual action plan was authorized via ordinance 25037, which allowed for the reprogramming of previous years home funds to a TIBA program and removed uh housing counseling requirement for the beneficiaries.

The CDBG grant funds allocated to the reunification center project totaled 1,339,103 and nine cents.

Reprogramming the CDBG funds is necessary necessary to maintain compliance with HUD CDBG expenditure regulations.

But here you see it broken down into detail.

So what we've committed or expended so far is 49,000 towards the cost of the architectural and design piece or engineering design, I'm sorry.

So the balance that remains is 1,349,445.

How do I get these off quicker?

That's all.

Thank you.

Uh CDAC was convened on August 20th, 2025, but a quorum was not satisfied to allow a vote on a recommendation to council.

The meeting was rescheduled a week later, and the quorum was met.

CDAC received present a presentation from staff and voted to recommend substantial amendment to the 2024-2025 annual action plan reprogramming 1,349, uh 445.69 cents from the reunification center project to the Rosa Hereford Community Center Senior Wing Improvements Project.

Citizen Comment Period.

Allows for input from the community on the draft substantial amendment.

Comments may be submitted via in-person at a public hearing, uh, and that would be November 4th in writing or at email at CD Grants Management at Coleentexas.gov.

The availability of the draft amendment is going to be here at City Hall with the City Secretary's Office, Community Development Department, both public libraries, Lions Club, Senior Center, and online.

So our next steps are to hold a public hearing on November 4th to receive citizen input.

City Council will vote to approve or deny the substantial amendment.

If approved, staff will submit the amendment to HUD no later than November 30th or 2025.

And this is staff recommend recommending that we open the comment period for the substantial amendment from September 22nd to November 4th.
