Council Workshop Monday to Discuss Disaster Recovery Funds

The City of San Marcos will hold a special City Council workshop MondayJuly 25 at 5:30 p.m in the San Marcos City Council Chambers to receive a presentation from City staff and the City’s disaster recovery contractor, AECOM, regarding the City’s CDBG-DR Disaster Recovery Grant.

 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires the City to complete a Needs Assessment and Action Plan for the grant funds. The Needs Assessment is created using data from the City, federal agencies including FEMA and the SBA, and public input from citizens through the town hall meetings and the City’s CDBG-DR Needs Assessment Task Force.

 

City Council will discuss the Needs Assessment and the percentage of funds expected to be allocated in each of the three categories identified by HUD for disaster recovery; housing, infrastructure and economic development. 

 

The Action Plan is expected to be complete by Aug. 18, and a 14 day public comment period will be held before the Action Plan is finalized and submitted to HUD.  The Action Plan must be submitted to HUD within 90 days after the federal register was published on June 17.
