City - Special Meeting

Good morning, everybody. Special session of mayor and city council meeting, 10 a.m. Thursday, July 23rd, 2026, City Hall Council Chambers. Call this meeting to order. Would you please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. Mrs. Melendez-Vutuzzi, honest.

My pleasure. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you. I call this public hearing to order. Public hearing regarding project selection and use of community development block grant funds. Okay. Is there anybody in the audience that wants to do a presentation, Mr. Will? Go ahead, sir. Good morning, Mayor, Council. Would you please press the button on the mic? Thank you.

Good morning. Mr mayor, council and members of the public here and staff. Make sure we all get signed in on that sign in sheet myself included before we conclude here. I have a very brief presentation. That will provide the foundation for you all making a selection or 2 on funded projects. Hey, it's about to start. Not sure if I maybe I'm going to give a finger a finger wave, but what we're here is we're going to talk just briefly go through the list of past Nogales CDBG projects show that you guys have a track record on CDBG. Also, we have a list of the items that were identified in the P2 or initial CDBG public hearing back in April. Also, how those connect to the national objective suitability is how we get to a list of projects or categories of projects from which you will be making some decisions today. Regional account and competitive competitive being colonial or state special projects. We have a couple of those to propose and also 1 for regional account. The suitable policy, ported projects, policy, supported projects and levels of readiness. That's part of what staff will be preparing or has prepared for you to choose from. And to select 1 or more projects for. And the resolutions to apply for competitive CBG, one application per type is allowed and same applies to regional account for which again, staff has prepared a resolution, a draft resolution for that as well. Next slide please. The past projects in Nogales have included public and community facilities, the McNab Water Improvements Project back in 2016. There was a combination, I believe, with WIFA on that project. 2019, the McNab Water Improvements Phase 2 project, and that, I believe, was done with Colonious Funding, Colonious CDBG. In 2019, also water line improvements for Perkins in the East quadrant and Nogales colonia. So that was a colonial project and I believe it was a rather large 1 cross fingers and hope that that kind of award would be possible this go round. Not entirely sure, but we do know that we do not have any other colonial applications this year and this is the year to have those. 2021, the noon street water improvements project was was initiated and the next couple of years Camino del Sol phase 1 and phase 2 phase 2 just completed last year and we got that funding reimbursed to the city just around the March of this year. Next slide please. So the list of projects that are considered by the city from that initial staff, that initial public hearing in April, there are a number of different projects that were listed, including water system improvements, sewer system improvements, neighborhood level improvements, AND ALSO PARK IMPROVEMENTS. SO THESE ARE THE AREAS OR CATEGORIES FOR WHICH STAFF HAS PREPARED DRAFT RESOLUTIONS FOR YOU TO DISCUSS AND ADOPT FOR CONSIDERING ACTION IN TERMS OF MAKING APPLICATION FOR CEBG TO THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING. The national objectives, these are really important and any project that does not meet one of these objectives is not likely to be approved for application by. It must either serve low, moderate income population. Or a special specific needs, a specific special needs group, or it would prevent or eliminate slum of black conditions. Or a project would meet urgent needs related to the health and safety of the community. Next slide please. So we looked at the census block groups that Nogales has a portion of, or the entirety of, and this is provided for the record, just so that we have a map that shows us the areas of Nogales that might qualify for low moderate income without doing any further work. That's especially important for competitive grants, because if an area needs to have additional work done prior to application, it is less likely to be considered for approval by ADOH. Next slide please the area of low income in North northern block groups you can see in shades of peach to red, or even that off yellow to the West side of 19 highway 19. those are areas that are considered low income or low moderate income. I'm not gonna get into the numbers, but we could if desired, but the numbers are placed there in terms of low moderate income percentage has to be 51% or more in those areas to be considered low moderate income. And again, that's for household counts. So if there's a thousand households in an area, at least 510 or 511 households of those would have to make 80% or less of the area median income in Santa Cruz County. And so Santa Cruz County's numbers for low moderate income also include areas of Patagonia, Elgin and other areas of the county. The areas that are blue shades of blue or like very light powder blue, those are areas that are not considered low moderate income and additional work would need to be done to actually provide that. Projects in specific that those areas of benefit would have low, moderate income residents and again, not really something that you'd want to do this late in this late in the application season. Next slide please. And the area, this is the South, which includes most of downtown also all the way to the border. you can see that there is an area that is quite deeply red that is just off to the west of Morley. I believe it includes part of Arroyo. You also see an area of Peach which goes around I believe to Highway, I'm not My geography is not great. I haven't driven around that part, but I believe that's where it goes out toward. But the area that's blue, just further West of that, that is not low, moderate income, not low, moderate income. So those areas where is peach or some shade of red. Those are the areas that are low moderate income don't require any further work in creating an application. And those are the areas that staff will be providing to you proposals for projects that may also be located in designated colonists that are certified by the state. Next slide please. The people who you would contact about City of Nogales' Community Development Block Grants, your city manager, Ken Lariva, and your interim city engineer slash public works director, Eric Stewart, and interim community development director, Eric Fitzer. Or you could also contact myself at Segoe. I'm Will Osborne, and our community coordinator, Maria Valles, is also somebody who might want to include in your copies of correspondence. Um, if you'd like to have me answer questions, that's fine, but I know that staff is going to follow up with proposed projects that incorporate some of this information for qualification for.

Can we just make a clarification correction that right now city manager is Mr Hyman focus. Mr Hyman want this? Oh, I'm sorry. It's now.

My apologies, I had I still had like the interim and I didn't I hadn't heard who no problem.

We're fungible good. We're going to edit this.

As soon as I get back to my hotel room, I'm going to edit this slide and send it back in for the record. Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Morning, Mayor, Council.

Morning.

I didn't know, I'm looking at the agenda, do we need to switch from the public hearing to the discussion items?

No, we're still in the public hearing.

Okay, great. I'm going to go ahead and let David from Parks start off then. Thank you.

Good morning. Mayor mayor council, um, as we've had these previous meetings, public hearings in reference to, uh. CDBG funds, and I know it came out from mayor and council. Some proposals for restrooms and park improvements in some areas. Uh. Didn't fit the criteria, but there's two that did fit the criteria, and that's to build restrooms at Camp Little and Monte Carlo Park in Sonora. That is up for a few options later on in the presentation, but this is in the region area, which is $440,000. which we can be used for those two restrooms as well, because we have to make them ADA. But they do fit the criteria, $440 for the CDBG grant. And those are the two facilities that I'm proposing and recommend to build restrooms for Camp Little and Monte Carlo on Sonora Street. And that was a recommendation by Mayor and Council in the previous public hearings.

This would be full restrooms and everything?

Full restrooms, ADA.

Yes. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, sir.

Thank you, David. Would you mind flipping to the next slide? Please? So this is the, these are the regions where. We had multiple parks that we wanted to do projects in. However. Only 2 of those actually landed in the low, moderate income areas. So those, that's why we chose those. And this map represents that. So moving on to the next slide, please. Thank you. So this slide, I just want to back up. We have three options we're presenting today, and we're kind of playing a game of risk. So CDBG is looking for low to moderate income. They're looking for shovel-ready projects. They're looking for projects that affect the highest amount of the community or residences. And what else am I forgetting?

Thank you. Right.

And also other funding engines that we have. And so what we did is we took our water sewer projects and we overlaid it on the low to moderate income maps. And we've highlighted, I think, one through nine one through nine here. Everything's in small print today. And so these are the ones we said, OK, let's work with these. And now let's prioritize these. So if you wouldn't mind going to the next slide, please. And so what we did is we thought, okay, they're all shovel-ready. Some of them can benefit from our leftover WIPA monies that we have that we had just transferred from design into construction. I believe there's $1.2, $1.3 million left in that. So that's one of the opportunities to help co-fund these projects with CDBG. So we also ranked them by... Not the... The benefits to the community as far as like households and so you see in the 3rd column, you'll see there was the top 1 is Elm street and water and sewer improvements that would affect somewhere between 56 and 57 water and super services or residential dwelling units. So that's kind of why we ranked that 1st, the highest and then going down, we thought, okay, let's continue with that whole methodology. And we Senoita Avenue was the second and Goodman Street was was the third. There was a kind of a close tie between the third and fourth. And what we did is we looked at the water improvements like hydrants in the area, things like that. And Goodman Street ranked highest out of that. So that's why that is third. And if you want my next slide, please. So we ended up with was options A, B and C. And so you can see it here on the map. It's essentially everything falls into the low, low, mid income areas and. And they kind of meet the criteria that would have the highest benefits to the community, which is what ranks us higher in our grant process. And so as far as the game at risk, as long as we can try to hit all of the checkboxes that they're looking for, we think we have good chances for these. Next slide, please. So just to reiterate option a, um, we're still looking at, we're not, we're not, it's, it's, it's a separate resolution, although we're still keeping in the regional grant, which is 440,000 for the park restrooms that benefits to parks. Uh, the colonial grant, which I'm talking about now, um, benefits the Elm street water and sewer replacement. That's about 2.3Million dollars. Part of that's with, uh, and parts that is CDBG and that benefits 58 homes. That's option A. Next slide, please.

Eric?

Yes, sir.

I have a question on the second one at Colonial Elm Street. They had a presentation here from GSA, and they're planning to extend the DeConcini Port of Entry all the way down to Elm Street.

Is that going to affect any of these projects here? So without knowing what that infrastructure looks like, Now, ours is all on the ground and feeding homes. So until they build theirs, we're still serving that. So I don't know. Is that a reason to consider another option? I believe I believe that's up for discussion today. Yes.

So I don't see investing all that money and then have the government take it all take over the streets.

So, yeah, that was kind of everyone's surprised by that yesterday. It's like, OK, well.

How did you come out with the 1.1 CDBG?

Oh, so actually...

It's 440 we're talking about.

Oh, there's two different grants we're talking about. One is the regional grant. That's the two different CDBG grants. One's the regional grant and one's the colonialist grant. Now, the regional grant, if I understand correctly, we have a very high probability of getting that. So it's like, all right, well, let's. Let's put that out front since we think we're going to get that this year.

Right. But if I could say.

I thought that's really was about the last part.

So, you go get the regional account grant. Is what is guaranteed to this community. Other communities cannot take this money unless the project is simply fails or the city decides to pass along on that opportunity. Which last last year, the 2 years ago, actually, the town of Patagonia, they just passed on their opportunity to the county. There's no project. They could qualify on based on not having any low, moderate income areas. And they had 4 failed low, moderate income, special survey efforts. So they just say, you know what? It's too much of a headache for us to actually try to get this even. So we're just going to donate our money to Santa Cruz County so they can do an improvement project. And what they ended up doing is doing two. And one of them is actually in the city of Nogales. But the regional account grant is something that is going to be guaranteed. It's not something you're competing for. The colonialist grant is something you're competing with. With other colonial communities statewide and so the amount of money. That's been placed there, I believe is kind of what's the total cost of the project. What might be able to fund and what's the difference. The difference putting that in there is where you get the 1.1Million. It is a substantial ask, but as I was suggesting back in 2019. So, you know, got I think 1.1 or 1.2Million for that project that was done in 2019. So that was a year where I think there weren't very many other. Applications put in, but this year we don't know, except for that. You know, population of communities, 37 of them. This would be the only city that actually be put for an application for it.

Okay, thank you. Thank you. Mr. Mayor, does that answer your question? Yes, sir. OK, thank you. OK, option B. So the same thing to park would benefit from this regional grant. And then the Colonius grant, we're looking at Senoita Avenue water replacement that would affect basically have the 31 homes would have the benefit of that water line replacement. And that was a nine hundred thousand dollar construction price tag on that. Option I see three. Yeah next times option C same thing regional grant 440 K to parks and then also The clonius grant would benefit the water replacement Goodman Street one would affect 15 Homes with some the benefit would be 15 homes would have new improvements hydrants and things like that Then next slide, please This is just a summary of those things. And I thought I would ask if there are any questions at this time.

Yeah, going on the same premise of, we don't know what the future holds, especially with. You can see any is in some way to also in that area. The same isn't it before.

Can we go back to the maps place? Yeah. Yes, I believe they cross.

Yes. So then that's that's also in danger of. Of getting taken over by the fence. And without knowing what their project is. Well, yeah, but but the thing is that we're talking about. That there's other projects that can benefit right? That are not threatened by the people and see any port of entry. And the other question was that, you know, you, you were kind of giving preference to Goodman street, uh. Uh, in comparison to Bowman street. Which has 34 families there in comparison to 15 on Goodman. And if I recollect Goodman is pretty short street. But the only thing that the main concern is fire hydrants.

think what it was when we were measuring that the to the next two highest options we were looking at what are the benefits as far as infrastructure and I believe one of the items was hydrants that we looked at and I can't remember what those two projects were I know one was Goodman Street and that's why I ranked higher If you'd like, we can go back and look at the spreadsheet and discuss other items here. Although I just wanted to mention the resolutions we brought forward today.

Well, with the concern, my concern would be that your top 2 projects are threatened in the future by by that expansion. So, I don't know. We need to get back to the drawing board and. or what's the best, or pick other projects here? So that's the only thing that's kind of circulating in my mind right now.

Which one's Sonoyta? Isn't it Terrace and then West?

Sonoyta's right behind Brooklyn. It's north and south.

Correct and then on, um. East to West, it's up to what, you know, where it would be.

West of tonight. I wouldn't be affected on that regard.

Mm.

Hmm. I don't think their forecast and their forecast. It could be up to 25 years down the road. These are immediately needed several projects that I believe they would not.

Go ahead.

I have a comment there, but, uh, I have a question Mr. um, so.

Have the sewer water infrastructure has already been mapped out. Is that complete it? Oh, thank you for asking a council member.

Yes. So these are shovel ready. These are the WIPA projects that we designed. And they're on the shelf ready to go out to bed whenever.

We're we're ready so may or if I may go ahead. Um. Councilman Royal brings up a good question. When the feds have done projects that affect the perimeter of an existing municipality, typically here, if there's horse trading to be had, we would seek reimbursement for anything that would be taken from us under Fifth Amendment. for their actions. But I doubt that in planning they would anticipate doing that other than marking the perimeter and coming up to our present project. But it's a good question. And I think we would look out for that staff and prevent that from occurring should it happen. They're going to need us as much as we need them during this project. So I'm sure we can work out something in the negotiations that would not be a detriment to the city. IN REGARD TO THESE THREE PROJECTS, THEY ARE THE MOST VIABLE PROJECTS UNDER THE CRITERIA FOR SIGO, FOR WIPA, FOR THE COLONIUS PROGRAM. THEY ARE THE MOST VIABLE FROM THE ONE THAT A, THAT AFFECTS 58 FOR WATER, 56 FOR SEWER AND HAS OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE, SO IT'S GOOD USE. THE THREE THAT WE BROUGHT YOU WERE THE ONES THAT WERE MOST VIABLE AND REALISTIC THAT COULD BE BUILT PRETTY MUCH ON TIME. And budget, if you give us the go ahead, the wild card will be the 1.5 million of the money. The 440 is. As as was indicated by William, it was pretty much set. It's pretty much set the 1.5. There are heating. Municipalities for it, so there's more uncertainty on that we're faced with having possibly to add some additional monies, either city or. or a tap with a depending on the category of money that we're looking at. Another way to skin that cap is also to do it in phases, if that should occur, so that we won't take a bigger hit on the general, so to speak. So we could address that. But the projects themselves, these top three are the most realistic. But I wanted to assure you that I'm pretty sure that the federal government will work with us on the perimeter issues. Thank you.

And to me, it is the 1st. Or a, or 1 on your project that's out 3 looks like it serves more of the community because it serves more families and. And it's really kind of a straight shot. It's flat, you know, so you don't have to go up hills and down slopes and. It makes makes more more sense because there's it's packed, you know, the neighborhoods packed with homes and. In residence, but I just wanted to get clarification on. On that possibility of the expansion. Which they don't really know at this point where it's going to end up. You know, it could go more this way that way or. You see, we don't right now, they're just kind of, you know, like any, like, the money poster project, it started 1 way ended up another way. And so, you know, it's a, it's a concern not knowing. All the facts, but. But, uh, but if we can get any kind of, uh, you know, even if it goes in into those. Perimeters and if we can, if they can kind of get some funding back or. Well, then, you know, at least we're not out in the cold.

We'll push and make sure for that to happen.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Rodiaz, you had some comment?

Yeah, just a comment that we need to go forward with these projects regardless if the border expansion is going to go down all the way to Elm Street. We owe it to our constituency to finish out these projects. That's just my comment, Mayor and Council, that we just need to finish it regardless of the expansion of the port of entry. we need to get these things done i mean it's been years and years that you know our infrastructure is failing so i i suggest that we get these uh these projects done regardless of the uh port of entry expansion but that's that's years away anyway so i mean thank you

Mr. Mayor, I had one more comment just to kind of support what Mr. Fontes was saying. So if council chooses, let's say option A as our grant, it is a competitive process. We believe there might be 1.5 million for the agencies that are applying for that. If there's all of these very qualified projects, I'm kind of thinking they split that up. Is that how it works, William?

Yes, sir. there haven't passed then awards greater than what a community asked for, but that's typically when there isn't competition for the competitive grant, but there's a possibility that what you're asking for might actually be awarded in a reduced number. So that's something else to consider is the possibility you may need to pay for to think about shrinking the project to where you get the maximum that you can get under the award amount given. That also said, uh, there has been also. What you have with, uh.

Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Mayor for reminding me about the power of the microphone. Um, with colonial, it really is dependent on the competition involved. I believe the tries to make awards available to as many communities as apply. Uh, if those projects are affordable, that said, in past years, when there's a low number of applicants. An award has been increased, so we've had some of our communities that did apply for, um, get a 200,000 more than they asked. But it's also possible that you may get in a competitive year where there are a lot of applications. Fewer dollars than you've asked for, but again, there haven't been any other communities and seagull service area asking for this opportunity. And so that's that's. Adding to the warmth of the feeling about putting forward an application, but I will say this is that it really isn't a time now to make application to make a resolution of application. Because if we put it off to another meeting, we're probably going to miss the window for the application. And we won't have enough time to prepare the application for you. Also, we have to do the environmental review as soon as possible. So, I mean, it's, it's a lot of work. So we don't come to a decision today. It probably means a no. Uh, for regional account, you have a little more flexibility that I still recommend that you move forward with applications for both colonial and regional account. And we can then get on the work of making the application.

So, you know, what I take is basically. 1 recommended that we take both regional and and colonial.

Yes, so 1 app in their separate applications, the regional account non competitive 440,000, or thereabouts for a project that does not have to be water and sewer or storm water infrastructure. And that's the parks having those improvements. It makes a lot of sense for a regional account grant project. With the colonists, it has to be water, sewer, wastewater or water, wastewater or stormwater or housing rehab. But again, that would that would require a lot of work that would already be done up front. And that's not the case. The work has been done up front on the designs for all the projects that staff has talked about today.

And these three recommended proposals cover both the basically the rest of the restrooms, which is the CBG.

Each of the options provided, yes. The restrooms for regional account CDBG is, again, separate application. That application is in all of the options because it's doable. It's fundable. It's straightforward. The beneficiaries are going to be technically in areas that are low, moderate income with the colonial proposals in each of the options. Those are also projects that are design ready or shovel ready. They're in areas that are low, moderate income without any further work on that Avenue. But they also. They also are doable. But I will say is that the the first option option a may come with some expectation of filling any gaps in funding that might exist. So it's it's a very large project, but it also has a great amount of benefit for a number of households. And it does seem like the best opportunity to really make a difference. uh with using both wi-fi and colonial cdbg funding but you have to sort of take into account that if the award is smaller than 1.1 million for colonial cbg there may either need to be more general fund money put into it or it may simply be scaling the project back and making sure that the resolution of application for at least for that project makes recognition that maybe a phased approach

depending on the award uh you know offered by adoh uh is something you want to actually have in the in the resolution for that one now my question is on mr erica on uh on senoida and goodman we're just we're just talking water on elm we're talking water and sewer yes mr mayor is there a reason why uh well you know i i would hate to Dig in right now and just do water and not both.

And that's fine. Yeah, we know the opportunity on Elm Street. We're like, well, we could do water and sewer and use with a for sewer. And so that's why we and we heard there's a ranking like the more. Community benefit there is the higher ranks, right? So we thought well if we can benefit from the 58 residences we We benefit we affect and then we rank high from that and then have with a funding to help support that That was kind of the mode of thinking with that.

However we're really just wanted to bring some reasonable options to council and then Just I'm just trying to stay away, you know, they they get fix it right now and then come have to come back and and And we do it correct. Uh, call it the Mexican way. Yeah, you know, payment and then come and fix the lines. Yeah. I don't think we, we should do that.

No, I agree.

Mr. Mayor, you know, with that said, I don't know counsel, you know. Even if the port comes comes in in about, uh, you know, whenever it comes. they're looking at most coming to Elm Street, but not in Elm Street. So if we prepare Elm Street as, you know, now it'll be ready for whenever that happens. And that also includes the restrooms, you know, so, you know, we're not taking away from the restrooms. And really it gives, that one we're attacking water and sewer. Uh, already with the numbers we're being presented, you know, to me that that would be my best option. Um, so you, you guys.

Uh, mayor mayor, I have a question for Eric.

Go ahead.

Eric, do we have do we have anything that we do with, uh, do we have enough money or do you have money to finish out the payment on these projects? Because in the past, uh. We started with a projects and then we don't have enough money to finish off a pay the payment.

Do we have money specifically not in the with the funding the funding we have for with the projects is to basically if we. Are if we are currently working on a project or proposing a new project, we can use that with the funding to cut the road put in the sewer and then patch the road. But not pave completely paved that road.

yeah because the web only includes what 12 feet of patchy of fixing the patch right that's correct. Okay, so where, where do you, where do you plan on getting the money to finish off?

The payment, because from from our general fund, or well, on these on proposal on option a, that we're discussing today, um, that the portion of the sewer. That would be replaced, uh, would be fully funded by. The funding that we have available for construction. which I think we have 1.3 available. And so that would cover things like trap control, mobilization, replacement of the sewer, patching of the pavement after the sewer is replaced, et cetera. And then the Colonius CDBG grant would capture all of the water expenses. That was the idea behind teaming those two projects together.

I think the councilman is maybe trying to ask about paving beyond the patch overall. Am I correct? Yes, exactly. Exactly.

In this scenario where we're actually going to if if the whole street is destroyed. We're going to we're going to fix the road. So, in this scenario, it sounds like that's probably what's going to happen. So we would not. uh for example for elm street we would not patch it together we would repave the entirety of the road with the fundings from this project and if we couldn't afford it based on what if they uh narrow down our funding on this then we would phase it back and do what was um what we could afford with the funding available on this project thank you thank you thank you thank you mr pompous anybody else have a comment no you have one

Okay. Do we close the public hearing? Well, and now we go to, we go to discussion item. Anybody in the public want to speak?

I think, yeah, I think offering that opportunity and no one else.

Anybody in the public? Any comments? With that, I close the public hearing and go back to discussion items. Okay. So discussion item, discussion and possible action regarding the selection of projects and the proposed use of community development block grant, colonial and regional

action uh account funds do i have any uh motions to select anything go ahead uh i make a motion to go with option uh a parks regional elm street and uh colonias and whippa for the um street project thank you any other discussion okay

That is correct. I'd like to thank your clerk, our city clerk, proudly, because he spent midnight oil coming up with resolutions for all options, and that was exhaustive, but thank you for that.

Okay, you want me to read the whole resolution, my friend? just the title mr mayor just the title a resolution of the mayor and council of the city of nogales arizona authorizing the submission of an application of the arizona department of housing uh a d o h for 2020 fiscal year 2025-26 colonias set aside account community development block grant CDBG funds for the Elm Street water line and sewer replacement project, approving the project as one combined infrastructure project, identifying leverage funding sources, certifying that the application meets the city community development needs and the requirements of the state CDBG program, authorizing the mayor to execute the application grant agreement and related documents and authorizing all actions necessary to implement and complete the project. All right. Just one question. This legal does not mention anything on the parks. which is part of being, go ahead, Mr. Mike.

Mayor, that's a separate resolution following up this selection of the project.

Okay. Good. All right. And we're looking at option A. All right. All right. Well, that's it. All in favor? Aye. All opposed? Motion passes for option A. Now we go to resolutions. Number one, consideration and possible action of resolution number R2026-07-010, a resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City of Nogales, Arizona, authorizing the submission of an application to the Arizona Department of Housing, ADOH, for approximately $440,000 in fiscal year 2026. Regional Account RA Community Development Block Grant, CDBG Fund for Eligible Parks Improvement authorizing city staff to identify and prioritize the park or parks to be improved certifying that the application meets the city community development needs and the requirements of the state CDBG program, authorizing the mayor to execute the application grant agreement and related documents and authorizing all actions necessary to implement and complete the project.
