The Commission will continue to use a web-based electronic Competitive Process
application review process and will make adjustments and improvements as warranted.
2. CDBG FY 2012-2013: Program Development
CDBG Program Development involves the continuation of the federally funded grant
program for activities such as affordable housing, public facilities, and public services.
The process includes a review and update of the processes for application selection,
solicitation of proposals, criteria for funding, and funding recommendations.

grants (CDBG and HOME). The Commission will need to make a recommendation to
the City Council for adoption of the completed document.
