Amendment #2 to CDBG-DR Action Plan
An amendment to the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Action Plan is currently being proposed. In Amendment #2, the City will be deleting two of its original proposed activities, and reducing funds for a third activity identified in the approved Action Plan. The reduced funds will be used to create a new activity.
The Downtown Infrastructure project is being removed as this will now be funded through other sources. The CDBG-DR funds are being appropriated to assist the parking garages which support the Imagine Minot Affordable Rental Project. These changes can be seen by clicking on the link below.
The Voluntary Acquisition of Flood Properties Project will have funds reallocated to a new and separate Demolition of Flooded Properties Activity. This new activity will address the need to clear properties purchased under the Voluntary Acquisition of Flooded Properties Program.
The CDM Smith Project Delivery Activity is being removed as a standalone activity and reallocated accordingly to each of the specific activities.
Citizen participation is an essential component of the Citywide planning effort. The City of Minot strongly encourages public participation in identifying needs and the use of CDBG Disaster Recovery Funding. Citizens and other interested parties are invited to comment on Amendment #2.
A formal public comment period is currently underway. Comments will be accepted until November 30, 2012. Comments may be submitted via email to www.minotrecoveryinfo.com or by mail to Public Information Officer, PO Box 5006, Minot North Dakota, 58702-5006.

Federal Register lays out Rules for CDBG-DR use
In mid-April the U.S. government published in the Federal Register the official requirements, guidelines and allocations for the City of Minot's Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds. With this publication the City of Minot has 90 days to formulate and approve an Action Plan for the roughly $67.5 million in 2012 CDBG-DR funds.
"We've been taking all the necessary steps in the three months since CDBG-DR dollars were first announced, but this publication of the Federal Register gives us the official and final ruling on guidelines for use of these funds," said Cindy Hemphill, City of Minot finance director. "We are just a few days away from putting our Citizen Participation Plan before the City Council and we expect to be hiring a consulting firm soon that will handle much of the administrative services associated with these dollars."
According to the Federal Register, before the City of Minot can use these funds they have to submit a plan detailing their proposed use including the criteria for eligibility and how particular activities will address long-term recovery. This constitutes an Action Plan.
For additional details related to the CDBG-DR funds go to the posted news story on this site.
