Conducted and adopted Resolution No. 2025-2-7(R)

On July 24, 2023, the City Council approved an allocation of $116,026 in Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) funds for My Possibilities to install a security fence and security cameras around their property via Resolution No 2023-7-13(R); the 2023-2024 Action Plan.

On September 4, 2024, My Possibilities submitted a request to repurpose $116,026 in 2023-2024 CDBG site improvement funds for a site improvement project. The request is to repurpose the prior approved funds to be used to install a fence around their soccer field and construct two ADA-compliant restrooms near the field. This change requires Council approval to use 2023-2024 CDBG public facility grant funds for this purpose. 

My Possibilities presented the request for repurposing their 2023 CDBG public facility grant funds before the Community Relations Commission (CRC) on October 17,2024. The CRC recommended approval of the request in a vote of 8-0.
