CDBG Citizens Advisory Committee Meeting
The committee meeting focused on reviewing the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER), which details CDBG funding utilization, including successful projects like veteran housing renovations and food bank remodels. The meeting also addressed potential revisions to the project ranking and scoring criteria used for applicant presentations, specifically discussing the weighting of project descriptions, budgets, and the requirement for construction bids to ensure financial accuracy and transparency. Additionally, members discussed the balance between funding new applicants versus tried-and-true repeat applicants.
