CALL TO ORDER Mayor Kelly called the meeting to order at 4:07 p.m. MAYOR’S DEPARTMENT Set Public Comment Period: Substantial Amendment to City CDGB Entitlement Action Plan Mayor Kelly advised that the City of Saratoga Springs is proposing the addition of new activity under its 2019 CDBG Action Plan. HUD defines this as a “substantial amendment”, which requires a five-day public comment period, and a public hearing. The City proposes to assist Shelters of Saratoga with its efforts to move our homeless population, currently at Code Blue, from their congregate setting to a local hotel. The funds will be reallocated from the Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund to this emergency priority project in the amount of $61,950. The public comment period will run from April 2 through April 7, 2020. Comments on this matter should be directed to Lindsey Connors, Community Development Planner at lindsey.connors@saratoga-springs.org.
