CDBG Public Hearing #2.
A
Good
evening,
everyone,
mr.
mayor
City,
Council
and
members
of
the
public
tonight
we
are
going
to
hold
our
second
public
hearing
for
our
proposed
action
plan
for
fiscal
year.
2018
2019
Chris
is
the
grant
coordinator
he's
going
to
cover
the
first
section,
which
is
on
your
first
page,
the
car
park.
Then
I
will
take
over
and
cover
the
spending
line
items
that
we
are
going
to
propose
for
you
at
this
point.
Please
hold
any
questions
you
have
until
we
are
finished
with
our
presentation.
C
B
Many
of
you
know
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
Program
is
a
federal
program
that
is
administered
by
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
and
CDBG
funds
are
provided
to
States
and
units
of
local
government
as
an
entitlement
community.
Here
in
the
city
of
Dearborn
Heights,
we
are
authorized
to
fund
eligible
activities
that
meet
national
and
local
goals
and
objectives.
B
The
2018-2019
annual
action
plan
will
direct
our
funds
and
those
can
be
used
exclusively
toward
meeting
the
national
objective
of
benefitting
low
and
moderate
income
persons.
Dearborn
Heights
anticipates
an
estimated
total
allocation
of
nine
hundred
twenty
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
thirty
five
dollars
in
CDBG
funding
funding
for
the
upcoming
2018-2019
program
year.
That's
estimated.
We
have
not
received
the
allocation
from
HUD
as
of
today
program
income
for
the
CDBG
program
is
estimated
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred
thousand
that's
received
from
our
residential
rehab
loan
payoffs.
B
A
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
submitted
a
proposal
to
us
that
we
went
that
they
gave
us
and
we
went
through
it
last
January.
I.
Believe
sorry
about
that.
Out
of
that,
we
have
come
up
with
the
following.
Basically,
we
are
proposing
that
we
fund
the
Bourbon
Senior
Center
improvements
of
$50,000.
This
is
on
the
first
page
I'm
just
reading
what
I
have
in
front
of
me,
the
code
enforcement,
and
this
is
funding
to
provide
code
enforcement
instruction
within
the
law
and
the
moderate
income
areas
of
$100,000.
A
The
following
item
is
the
house
rehab.
We
did
cut
that
down
a
little
bit
thing
about
18,000
$19,000.
This
amount
of
money
will
be
available
for
rehab,
200
thousand
seven
hundred
and
sixty-seven
dollars
and
a
following
on
page
we
have
crime
prevention,
which
is
mainly
the
police
department.
Here
fifty
thousand
dollars
allocated
to
that
department
when
they
did
use
their
activities,
basically
in
the
low
to
low
to
moderate
income
areas,
they
keep
track
of
those
in
the
submit
them
to
us,
fair
housing,
center
Metro
Detroit.
A
Basically
that's
the
proposal
that
we
have.
We
are
open
to
any
questions.
Any
comments
on
effect,
the
administration
for
helping
us
get
to
this
point
and
we're
open
for
questions
Joe,
sir
I
know
we
talked
earlier
and
I
didn't,
have
any
questions
for
you
there,
but
I'm.
That's
why
we're
here
I'm
just
thinking
now
now
the
the.
A
A
A
And
there's
no
payment,
we
put
a
lien
on
that
house
and
they
only
have
to
pay
us
under
certain
conditions,
one
of
those
conditions.
If
they
sell
the
house
they
would
have
to
pay
the
loan
back.
That's
what
Chris
talked
about,
which
is
the
program
income
that
comes
back
to
us.
If
god
forbids
they
pass
away,
the
money
is
due
back
to
us
from
whoever
inherits
the
house.
If
these
decide
to
rent
the
house
and
not
live
in
it.
At
that
point
and
that's
a
red
flag,
we
would
demand
our
money
positive
net.
G
A
G
A
A
E
C
B
C
A
What
we
do
is
we
receive
proposals
from
various
heads
of
departments.
Just
like
we
got
one
for
mr.
Zimmer,
for
example
director
Zimmer
for
the
water
main.
We
get
one
also
that
Recreation
Department
this
comes
through
director
Greg
Roybal
Ken.
He
would
send
he
sent
as
a
proposal.
They
want
to
change
some
carpet,
remove
some
asbestos
from
an
office
and
there's
some
other
work
in
a
different
part
of
the
Berwyn
center
that
they
use.
So
it
comes
to
us
through
the
director
and
we
vet
it
out
and
then
that's
how
the
decision
is
made.
A
I
believe
that's
about
$30,000.
We
did
add
about
$20,000
on
our
own,
because
there
is
some
work
to
be
done
around
the
building,
specially
concrete
the
seniors
were
complaining
all
year
round.
That's
obviously
not
just
our
decision.
We
discussed
that
was
the
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
what
the
mayor
and
so
yeah.
A
G
G
A
Busy
we
don't
come
up
with
these
numbers,
because
we
just
want
to
put
fifty
here
twenty
here
thirty
here.
These
are
proposals
that
we
have
received
from
various
departments,
and
then
we
allocate
the
amount
that
we
have
and
we
are
limited
on
some
of
these
as
far
as
where
we
can
put
the
money.
If
you
remember
last
time
when
we
went
through
this,
we
have
caps
on
services.
So
those
we
have
to
be
very
careful.
We
can
only
spend
15%
of
our
total
amount
of
money
and
the
rest
of
them.
A
And
I'm,
fortunately,
on
one's
feet
out
of
place,
it
is
I.
Don't
know
about
that.
That's
why
I
rely
on
the
directors
to
give
me
that
information.
He
was
done
to
me.
Otherwise
we
could
have
done
something
if
we
don't
end
up
using
the
$50,000
at
the
Burn
Center.
We
might
do
an
amendment
to
our
action
plan.
It's
a
lot
of
worked
when
we
do
that.
Even
if
it's
for
a
small
amount
of
money,
we
still
have
to
do
a
lot
of
work,
but
I
will
keep
that
in
mind.
F
E
A
I
mean
I,
don't
know
the
hierarchy
that
they
have
usually,
if
there's
a
problem,
I
know
that
in
our
building
the
one
that
we're
in
at
least
they
go
to
patty
who's,
the
manager
patty
goes
to
Kim
who's.
The
assistant
or
to
can
and
came
to
exit
II
can
can
eventually
follows
up
of
the
administration.
I
would
assume,
because
recreation
is
in
charge
of
all
of
these
areas
and
all
of
these
public
buildings.
F
The
councilman,
what
our
difficulties
is
we
lease,
whereas
the
Berwyn
center
we
hope.
So
when
we
want
to
do
something
with
the
Eaton
Center.
We
also
have
to
look
at
the
lease
and
the
g-seven
superintendent.
Jennifer
Manson
I've
had
numerous
conversations
so
once
the
district
agreed
to
redo
the
roof,
then
I
made
a
commitment
to
the
school
district
that
we
would
start
to
do
improvements
inside
if
we
are
not
able
to
utilize
this
money.
F
We
would
come
back
during
the
budget
time
and
ask
you
for
to
allow
us
to
include
it
in
the
budget
to
make
those
improvements.
But
some
some
of
the
building
is
the
responsibility
of
these
seven
and
some
was
not.
But
I
promised
the
superintendent
that
once
the
district
took
care
of
the
real
problem,
then
we
could
do
improvements,
but
it
would
be
the
leak
would
just
happen
and
destroyed
the
new
tile
new
carpeting.
So
she
understood
that
I
spoke.
E
F
Under
the
lease
arrangement,
it
was
the
obligation
of
the
school
district.
I've
had
I
had
discussions
periodically
I'll
have
discussions
in
regards
to
the
building,
especially
as
we
get
to
in
the
lease
arrangement
on
the
renewal
dates.
D7
indicated
to
me:
I,
don't
think
it
was
any
secret.
They
don't
want
that
building
back,
they
don't
have
a
need
for
it
and
we
pay
them
a
dollar
a
year
for
the
leasing
of
it.
B
G
F
F
That
is
there
some
way
to
replace
it,
and
she
said:
you're
not
gonna,
be
able
to
I
picked
up
these
patterns
from
all
over
the
world,
and
she
said
they're
really
not
replaceable
and
I
felt
really
really
bad,
because
she
that's
her
main
thing
there,
and
so
that
the
library
and
some
of
the
other
bill,
some
of
the
other
rooms,
need
improvement.
We're
aware
of
it,
we
want
to
do
it
we'll
take
care
of
it.
Thank.
D
You
I'm
sure
I've
got
a
question
for
you
in
regards
to
the
different
organizations
that
you
guys
allocates
all
this
money
to
look.
For
example,
in
this
case,
mr.
Maria,
and
as
long
as
I've
been
on,
the
council
have
noticed
they've,
consistently
gotten
money
and
they're
a
good
organization,
so
I'm
just
using
them
as
an
example.
But
do
you
rotate
it
around
to
different
organizations?
The
reason
I'm
asking
this
because
I'm
I've
worked
with
LHC
and
I,
know
they're
a
great
organisation.
D
A
Me
clarify,
first
of
all,
why
we
do
Vista
Maria
instead
of
somebody
else.
Vista
Maria
does
not
fall
under
the
cap,
its
infrastructure
work.
So
there
is
no
cap
for
this.
We
can
always
use
monies
which
line
items
from
here
to
there
to
cover
that.
Well,
the
LHC
it's
a
service
and
we
are
capped
at
15%
of
our
total
budget,
which
is
nine
hundred
plus,
so
we
have
about
145
or
148
thousand
dollars
to
work
with.
That's
it.
That's
the
only
money
that
we
have
in
order
for
us
to
fund
another
organization.
A
A
Proposals,
that's
why
we
do
put
this
in
the
paper.
We
put
it
on
a
website.
The
administration
puts
it
on
the
city
site.
Anybody
who
has
need
for
this
money
can
apply.
They
have
to
be
obviously
follow.
The
rules
that
that
we
have-
or
the
federal
government
has
in
this
particular
case,
we
added
the
London
Center
that
was
never
around
before
that's
something
that
we
took
some
money
away
from
the
fair
housing
center.
That
was
six
thousand
dollars
last
fiscal
year.
We
cut
that
down
to
three
thousand
150
and
we
gave
two
thousand
850.
A
The
two
thousand
eight
fifty
might
not
seem
a
big
number,
but
this
is
what
they
requested.
We
did
not
just
came
out
of
the
blue
and
says
we're
just
going
to
give
you
twenty
eight
hundred
fifty
dollars.
This
is
a
proposal
they
put
together.
We
went
through
it
last
time
we
did
our
public
hearing
and
we
decided
it's
a
good
organization,
small
amount
of
money
with
a
big
impact
on
community
and
with
the
help
of
the
administration
I
know,
I
did
meet
with
the
mayor.
We
went
through
this
and
we
thought
it
so
you.
A
C
F
F
G
A
G
A
A
Went
we
I
did
meet
with
deputy
Kim
Castle
talked
about
that.
Basically,
the
decision
that
we
came
up
to
and
and
the
administration
did
help
us
out
with
this
one
senior
citizen
services,
eighty-seven
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighty
one
dollars
and
again
there's
a
cap
on
this
money
that
we
can
spend
and
I
explained
to
him
that,
in
order
to
get
her
$4,500,
there
is
a
lot
of
rules
that
she
has
to
follow
say
if
we
do
it
on
tax
boxes.
One
of
those
rules
is
she's.
A
Gotta
wait
for
us
to
purchase
him,
which
is
not
gonna
happen,
till
probably
November
or
December
of
next
year.
Would
it
be
this
year?
2018
will
be
fiscal
year
of
next
year.
It's
4500
bucks
that
she
was
asking
for
or
five
thousand
after
that
she
would
have
to
vet
every
single
person
who
wants
those
which
means
she's
got
to
go
through
their
personal
income.
They
have
to
submit
their
income
because
we
can
only
serve
as
people
who
have
who
qualify
from
an
income
perspective,
not
from
an
elderly
person
senior
citizen
perspective.
A
So
we
decided
that
instead
of
her
going
through.
All
of
that
has
one
because
it
is
a
big
hassle.
She's
got
to
keep
track
of
those
numbers
who
got
the
boxes.
She's
got
to
keep
track
of
their
income
and
she
won't
get
those
anyway
till
probably
January
of
next
year.
So
we're
talking
about
a
year
from
today
what
we
said:
we're
gonna,
English
max
boxes,
our
boxes
that
Fire
Department
uses
they're
like
little
boxes.
The
fire
department
has
a
master
key.
A
B
A
To
finish
the
answer
on
this
Rachel,
what
we
did
we
ended
up
raising
the
number
to
87
thousand
dollars
I
believe
last
year.
It
was
a
little
bit
less
than
that,
so
we
could
have
created
another
line
item
for
the
next
boxes
in
reduce
to
87
by
5,000
or
$7,000
she's.
Still
what
I
got
to
save
amount
of
money?
We
just
thought
this
way
is
a
better
way
and
more
efficient
way
for
them
to
use
the
money.
I.
A
A
I
met
with
chief
Brogan,
he
said
the
same
thing:
I,
don't
want
to
speak
on
his
behalf,
but
I
believe
they
do
have
somebody
that
does
these
grants
yep
and
again,
we
thought
it
was
the
most
efficient
way
of
doing
this,
instead
of
reducing
their
total
number
by
five
or
seven
thousand
whatever
the
number
was:
let's
give
him
the
money
to
help
the
senior
citizens
they
are
open
and
they
can
use
their
own
budget
to
buy
the
Knox
boxes
if
they
choose
so
sure
anymore.
Questioning.
E
A
E
A
Actually,
we
did,
we
do
a
site
outside
visit
to
every
department.
We
just
did
one
for
the
police
about
two
weeks
ago.
They
have
an
officer
who
does
a
lot
of
things,
but
does
this
for
us.
Basically,
they
keep
track
of
all
the
work,
that's
being
done
in
the
low
to
moderate
income
areas.
They
call
them
units,
not
ours,
and
that's
a
formula
there's
a
formula
that
I
forgot
the
officers
name,
but
basically
she's
got
a
spreadsheet
that
she
keeps
track
of
every
minute
in
every
hour
and
the
time
spent
in
those
areas.
A
A
B
A
G
G
D
A
That
I'd
like
to
thank
weight
room
for
helping
us
put
some
of
these
papers
together,
I'd
like
to
help
to
thank
the
public,
who
will
be
listening
to
us
and
hopefully,
next
time,
we'll
have
more
of
you
here
I'd
like
to
thank
the
administration
and
City
Council.
Our
next
stop
will
be
in
May
when
we
come
back
for
final
approval,
where
you
get
to
approve
our
budget
for
us
to
submit
to
the
federal
government.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
you
all
have
a
nice
day.
