The City Council considered a Supplemental Appropriation to establish a new Capital Project No. 50505-AIP 42 for the Phase 3 Taxiway A Reconstruction project at the Chico Municipal Airport.

2.4. PROPOSED 2ND SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO FY 2019-2020 HUD ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR CDBG-CV FUNDING – This item was removed from Consent for further discussion.

The City of Chico was awarded Community Development Block Grant - Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding under Public Law 116-136 and signed by the President on March 27, 2020. The CDBG-CV funding is intended for the purpose of preventing, preparing for, and responding to coronavirus.

The City was allocated $1,160,430 and completed a previous substantial amendment allocating $127,000 to five public service agencies to assist with their response to the pandemic. The proposed 2nd Substantial Amendment allocates $282,933 for public services funding to Chico Housing Action Team to provide transitional shelter to homeless individuals and families who are susceptible to contracting COVID-19 through their master lease program. The proposed amendment also allocates the allowable set-aside (up to 20% of the total allocation) for Program Administration, $167,285. (Report - Marie Demers, Housing Manager)

Councilmember Denlay asked that this item be removed from the Consent Agenda for further discussion.

A motion was made by Councilmember Denlay and seconded by Mayor Coolidge to adopt the 2nd Substantial Amendment to the FY 2019-2020 Annual Action plan and authorize its submission to HUD as amended to reflect that the CHAT project removes individuals from the list and instead lists families. The low barrier homeless day care was also removed until there was further clarification from staff.

The motion carried by the following vote:

AYES: Brown, Denlay, Huber, Morgan, Tandon, Reynolds, Coolidge NOES: None
