Purpose
To develop studies and applications as necessary and appropriate for
recommendation to City Council relative to the expenditure of HUD Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds on an annual basis, and to advise the City
Council on desired changes in the CDBG program during the fiscal year.
Powers
The Community Development Committee is advisory to the City Council on all
matters related to the HUD CDBG program. The Committee also advises staff on
matters not necessitating City Council review.

intended population.
