W E L LLC O U N T Y FROM: Elizabeth Relford, Transportation Planner
SUBJECT: CDBG Espanola Subdivision - Citizens
Participation Plan.
The purpose of this public hearing is to provide for and encourage citizen participation by
persons of low and moderate income who resides within the Spanish Colony
Subdivision, the area in which Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
would be used.
The Spanish Colony Citizen's Participation Plan shall include the following:
1. Provide residents with reasonable and timely access to local meetings,
information, and records relating to its proposed and actual use of CDBG funds.
2. Provide for technical assistance to groups representative of persons of low and
moderate income that requests such assistance in developing proposals with the
level and type of assistance to be determined by the applicant.
3. Provide for public hearings to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals
and questions at all stages of the community development program performance,
which hearings shall be held after adequate notice at times and locations
convenient to potential or actual beneficiaries and with accommodation for the
handicapped.
4. Provide for a timely written answer to written complaints and grievances, with 15
working days where practicable.
5. Identify how the needs of non-English speaking residents will be met in the case
of public hearings where a significant number of non-English speaking residents
can be reasonably expected to participate.
6. Furnish citizens information concerning the amount of funds available for the
proposed community development project and activities that may be undertaken,
including the estimated amount proposed to be used for activities that will benefit
persons of low and moderate income.
7. Publishing a proposed project/plan application in such a manner to afford citizens
an opportunity to examine its content and to submit comments on the proposed
project/application and on the community development performance of the
jurisdiction.
While the Citizens Participation Plan is a requirement for Weld County to be able to
enter into a CDBG contract with the Department of Local Affairs, I recommend holding
one or more public hearings to obtain citizen views of the Spanish Colony Improvement
Project.
I am available to answer any questions you may have.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
DOCKET NO. 2012-89
Spanish Colony Improvements Project
for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
(pre-application public hearing)
Weld County plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State
of Colorado, Department of Local Affairs. CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing,
suitable living environments and economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate-income
persons through rehabilitation and preservation, economic/job development and public facilities
improvements. It is estimated that $8 million will be available statewide for the "Small Cities" CDBG
program projects.
The application being considered would request $275,000 for Espanola Subdivision Improvements.
Permanent involuntary displacement of neighborhood persons or businesses is not anticipated. Should
it later become necessary to consider such displacement, alternatives will be examined to minimize the
displacement. If no feasible alternatives exist, required/reasonable benefits will be provided to those
displaced to mitigate adverse effects and hardships. Any low and moderate income housing which is
demolished or converted will be replaced.
A public hearing will be held at 9:00 am on October 29, 2012 at the Weld County Administration
Building, 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado, to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and
questions related to:
The proposed CDBG application for the Espanola Subdivision Improvements
Project.
