As a requirement of receiving funds through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development annually, the City must report on the grant-funded programs and related expenditures within 90-days of the end of the grant year.  The report, called a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report, or CAPER, is designed to make public the use of these funds during the previous grant year.  As part of our Citizen Participation Plan, the public is given an opportunity to both review  and comment on the plan at a public hearing.  The report was presented to the Community Relations Commission on November 17, 2016. The City publishes a notice in the local newspaper and makes the CAPER available for public review for 15 days.  After the public comment period and hearings take place, comments are noted in the document, and it is submitted to HUD for review and acceptance.
