Body
Key Issues:
In August of 1994, the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri (“City”) was designated as an Entitlement Community eligible to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City Council has previously approved, passed and adopted via ordinance the City’s 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan. HUD has approved the City’s Action Plan for the 2020-2021 program year. HUD has allocated the amount of $373,739.00 to the City to carry out its and its sub-recipients’ CDBG programs for the 2020-2021 program year.
Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for adoption of an Ordinance approving the execution of the funding/approval agreement by and between the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the 2020-2021 Community Development Block Grant program year.
