The CAC advises City Council on state and federal funding programs and/or <br />projects that benefit low-income community members, including HUD Community Development <br />Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership funds and 2060 Affordable Housing Trust <br />Funds passed through from Snohomish County. The CAC also oversees applications and awards <br />for locally allocated human needs funds servicing the community’s basic needs for vulnerable <br />residents. <br /> <br />The CAC is currently comprised of eleven (11) community members, which includes <br />representation of persons with lived experience of low/moderate income status. To maintain <br />timely allocation of funding, a reduction of the Committee structure from eleven members to <br />nine (9) would further benefit establishing quorum under a lesser requirement of majority. <br />Additionally, the City’s Community Development Division has expanded in staff and scope, <br />thereby establishing a need for the Committee to expand its scope of review for Council <br />allocations and reflect this change in the naming of the committee. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt an Ordinance reducing the number of members on the Citizen Advisory Committee and <br />renaming the committee as the Community Development Advisory Committee. <br />
