NRCD requires local governments to conduct two public <br /> hearings before the application is submitted. County staff has <br /> surveyed every township in the County. All potential community <br /> development target areas were ranked based on observable <br /> community development needs (housing conditions; water and sewer <br /> services; road improvements; spot clearance and lack of indoor <br /> bathroom facilites). County staff will be present at the <br /> meeting to answer questions regarding the target area selection <br /> process. <br /> IMPACT: The State Small Cities CDBG application must be submitted by <br /> April 18, 1985. The Board must decide on the submission of an <br /> application and selection of a target area if this deadline is <br /> to be met. In addition, two public hearings must be conducted <br /> before the aforementioned deadline. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Approve the submission of a Small Cities CDBG application and <br /> approve the Rencher Street Community as the 1985 Community <br /> Development. <br /> 1 _ <br />
