2025-2029 CDBG plan on April 7 council agenda as discussion item; draft outlines about $365K in annual federal funds

The April 7, 2025, work session agenda listed the 2025-2029 Community Development Block Grant Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan as discussion-only, with no action requested 1. Attached materials detail roughly $365,000 per year in federal funds for housing repairs, food programs, homeless services, and park upgrades 1.

What the records say

The April 7, 2025, work session agenda listed the 2025-2029 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan as a discussion-only item, with no action requested 1. The packet included a draft plan that the draft ordinance says was released for 30-day public review on March 21, 2025, a draft adoption ordinance, and an executive summary 1. The draft plan identifies priority needs — housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs, and community development — and proposes 2025 awards that include $110,000 for senior and disabled-adult home repairs, $75,000 for Comford Park sidewalk and lighting upgrades, $70,500 for a food bank roof-top solar array, and public-service funding for Meals on Wheels and a student food backpack program 1. A funding table in the plan notes the 2025 allocation is an estimate pending HUD's final determination 1. The draft ordinance recites that council review of the final plan was scheduled for April 28, 2025 1. The pre-meeting record does not establish the outcome of the April 7 work session 1.

Why it matters

The plan would steer roughly $365,000 per year in federal CDBG funds over 2025-2029 to programs serving low- and moderate-income Marysville residents, including home repairs for seniors and disabled adults, meals and food assistance, homeless supportive services, and park accessibility work 1. Because the item was discussion-only, the record shows no action was requested at the work session; the draft was within its 30-day public-comment window, which the draft ordinance says began March 21, 2025 1.
