Background and Analysis:
The City produced an annual report detailing the accomplishments of the PY 2016 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program called the Draft 2017 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), a copy of which is attached. As required by the CDBG Program's Citizen Participation Plan, the City held a 15-day public comment period that started on October 10 and ended on October 25, 2017. During this time, the report was directly emailed to CDBG Program stakeholders, made available on the City's website and offered in paper format at the downtown Olympia Timberland Library, as well as Olympia City Hall. The City Council held a public hearing on October 24, 2017, at which two community members spoke about the importance of CDBG funds in our community. No other public comment was received.
The draft report has now been finalized to include documentation of the Citizen's Participation Plan and the minutes from the Public Hearing. Once approved, Council may direct staff to submit this report both digitally and in paper format to the regional HUD office on or before November 15, 2017.
