The minutes of the regular meeting held on June 17, 2009 could not be approved because there was no quorum.
Under Questions and Comments from the Public on Matters Not on the Agenda, Peter Apted, 324 S. Academy, Andreah Briarmoon,
339 S. Locust, and Richard Frank, 1119 Elida Street appeared to speak to the CDA regarding the Case Feed Building. Ms. Andreah
Briarmoon spoke to the CDA regarding the Consolidated Planning Process.
Petruzzello provided an update regarding the Consolidated Planning Process and shared the ten issues that were identified as
priorities by the focus groups, including: creating affordable, quality, housing stock for low to moderate income individuals,
improving the existing housing stock, job training, rent assistance, healthcare, increasing home ownership opportunities, transitional
housing for the general population, transportation, self-sufficiency programs, subsidized housing and education/training on HUD
requirements. Since there was not a quorum, the CDA could not specify priorities to be shared with agencies requesting CDBG and
HOME funding for 2010. A cover letter will be drafted explaining the consolidated planning process and the top priorities identified
by the focus groups.
