The City of San Marcos will hold a public hearing on August 11, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 1 Civic Center Drive, San Marcos, CA 92069, to solicit public review and comment on a Draft Substantial Amendment to the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) five-year 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) and the Draft 2015-2019 Con Plan.  CDBG funds are provided by the Federal government to local jurisdictions to help improve the quality of life and housing availability for low-to moderate-income residents. The Con Plan details how the City will expend federal CDBG funds over the Con Plan period.  The Substantial Amendment will change the 2014-2018 Con Plan to a one-year, 2014/15 Con Plan and approve the City’s Draft 2015-2019 Con Plan.  This amendment is necessary due to an administrative requirement of the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The City of San Marcos is a member of the San Diego County HOME Investment Partnerships Consortium.  The Consortium is comprised of the Urban County of San Diego and the cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Mesa, San Marcos, Santee, and Vista.  The Substantial Amendment is a result of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 24, Housing and Urban Development, Subtitle A, Office of the Secretary, Department of HUD, Part 91, Consolidated Submissions for Community Planning and Development Programs, Subpart E, Consortia; Contents of Consolidated Plan, Section 91.402, Consolidated Program Year regulation that states that all members of the consortia must be on the same program year for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA.  The City of San Marcos is not currently on the same program year as the Urban County of San Diego, or the cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Mesa, and Santee.  The City of Vista is also in the process of amending their Con Plan to comply with the administrative requirement.  The Substantial Amendment will place the City of San Marcos on the same program year as the rest of the consortium cities.

After the public hearing, the City Council is scheduled to take action on the proposed Substantial Amendment to the City’s 2014-2018 Con Plan and the Draft 2015-2019 Con Plan.  The Council Chambers is accessible to persons with disabilities; however, if you require special accommodations, please contact the City Clerk’s Department at (760) 744-1050, extension 3100 at least one day prior to the hearing date.  Translation will be provided for persons with limited English proficiency upon request, by contacting the City’s CDBG Program Manager, Julie Magee, at (760) 744-1050, extension 3137 or via e-mail at jmagee@san-marcos.net at least five days before the hearing date.
