ConPlan The 5-Year Consolidated Plan and the PY 36 Annual Action Plan is scheduled to go before the City Council on July 6, 2010. A corrected proposed Action Plan for PY 36 needed to be re-advertised in the newspaper. The total amount under Property Rehabilitation/Lead is $300,000 for rehabilitation of substandard housing. It also needed to be stated that it also included the project delivery costs for partial salary and fringe benefits for rehab/lead officer, secretary and program assistant. Michael Looney of Milone & MacBroom brought the committee up to date on the 5-Year ConPlan his office was working on and some minor corrections from the committee. Bev Goulet brought the committee up to date on the recapturing of Reliance House funds. Chris Gonzales from CIL had been involved. HUD will need to review it. Reliance House did not appear at any of the public hearings and there hasn’t been any contact this year. Reliance House needed to address the lead hazards at the property for the window replacement until September 1, 2010. The CDAC members want clarification on the time line for any monies authorized for recapture. For next years application the committee would like to see a written report with the status of their programs, and official quarterly report forms filled out, as well as copies of their income tax and financial statements. Presently it states to describe their financial ability. The Social Service Application this year was incomplete and omitted Section C which stated how do they verify and monitor those serving low to moderate income individuals. If agencies re-apply for more funding the committee wants to see how they did with the previous years project and their accountability. Discussion on Future Meetings On future meetings when someone is being appointed to the CDAC they should be briefed ahead of time so they know how much time and what is entailed by being appointed to this committee. So they know the meetings will be compressed into a March April timeframe, mostly late afternoon early evening and if they could commit. Next year they will have one public hearing late afternoon and one in the evening. A motion was made by Demo Angelopoulos, seconded by Red McKeon to adjourn. All were in favor. The meeting ended at 5:38 p.m.
