CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1'he City maintains an on-going data base of nonprofit agencies and other parties who have expressed an interest in the CDBG program. The City held two joint application workshops in collaboration with the City of Livermore in January 2007. Notices regarding the workshops were mailed directly to agencies and persons in the aforementioned data base, and notices were also published in the four local newspapers prior to the workshops. At the workshops (which had identical agendas and formats), staff from each city discussed all aspects of the CDBG program and disbursed application packets along with city-specific policy and procedures manuals. The workshops were also used to provide information and applications on the City of Pleasanton's "City Grant" program.] CDBG applicants attended meetings before either Pleasanton Human Services Commission (March 7, 2007) or the Pleasanton Housing Commission (March 15, 2007) for funding consideration. "fhc Commissions considered the applications and formulated funding recommendations for consideration by the Pleasanton City Council. The funding recommendations were approved by the Council in a public hearing on April 3, 2007, while the Action Plan was approved by the Council on April 17, 2007. All meetings were noticed in the Valley 'l'imes, a newspaper of general circulation, as well as in the Pleasanton Weekly, a local paper that is delivered to all Pleasanton residents. Alameda County also published notices regarding the overall Action Plan (which includes all entitlement cities and the urban county) in ANG newspapers throughout the County. Copies of the draft Action Plan were provided to the main Library and City Hall in Pleasanton for public review. A 30-day public review period, coordinated by Alameda County HOME Consortium, was held from March 26 through April 24, 2007. Action Plan - FY07 City of Pleasanton Page 25
