FYI--the meeting was interesting last night. The proposed Scenic Byway was discussed, a HUD rep spoke about the definition and parameters of the CDBG program and budget limitations this year, and several human services groups, including CACLV, got up to request a chunk of the CDBG money for 2010. I spoke to encourage Council, who only has a week to decide who will get the money, to keep the spirit of the HUD definition in mind when allocating the funding, and to spend it on the WW first, until our neighborhood physical quality has tangibly improved. The mayor told me about a new one-year loan program that he intends to use in the new year to buy us a street sweeper, and I am waiting for details from him, which I will share in a more complete post as soon as I get them.
