CITIZEN PARTICIPATION <br /> The City maintains an on-going data base of nonprofit agencies and other parties who have <br /> expressed an interest in the Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program (which serves <br /> as the local umbrella program for allocating federal CDBG and HOME funds). The City held <br /> two joint application workshops in collaboration with the cities of Livermore and Dublin in early <br /> December 2011. Notices regarding the workshops were mailed directly to agencies and persons <br /> in the aforementioned data base, and notices were also published in the key local newspapers and <br /> on city web sites prior to the workshops. At the workshops (which had identical agendas and <br /> formats), staff from each city discussed all aspects of the HHSG program and disbursed <br /> application packets along with city-specific policy and procedures manuals. <br /> HHSG applicants attended meetings before either Pleasanton Human Services Commission <br /> (March 7, 2012) or the Pleasanton Housing Commission (March 15, 2012) for funding <br /> consideration. The Commissions considered the applications and formulated funding <br /> recommendations for consideration by the Pleasanton City Council. The funding <br /> recommendations were approved by the Council in a public hearing on April 17, 2012, at which <br /> time the FY 2012 Action Plan was also reviewed and approved. All meetings were noticed in <br /> the Valley Times, a newspaper of general circulation, as well as in the Pleasanton Weekly, a <br /> local paper that is delivered to all Pleasanton residents. Alameda County also published notices <br /> regarding the overall Action Plan (which includes all entitlement cities and the urban county) in <br /> ANG newspapers throughout the County. Copies of the draft Action Plan were provided to the <br /> main Library and City Hall in Pleasanton for public review. A 30-day public review period, <br /> coordinated by Alameda County HOME Consortium, was held from late March through the end <br /> of April 2012. <br /> Adlon Plan-FY 2012 <br /> City d Rita <br /> Page 27 <br />
