Weld County requests funding to assist constructing approximately 4,644 lineal feet of sidewalk to be installed within
existing county road rights -of -way along portions of E. 20th, E. 24th and Cherry Streets, please refer to the attached
vicinity map. The intent of the project is to provide safe pedestrian facilities from Greeley city limits to Bella Romero
Elementary School. Bella Romero is located in Weld County, approximately one-third of a mile east of Greeley city
limits. Bella Romero Elementary is a K-5 facility with 487 students. The school currently has a written "no walk, no
bicycle policy" mandated by School District 6 because there are no sidewalks connecting the school to the adjacent
neighborhoods, which are mostly located to the west in the City of Greeley. Please refer to the attached map showing
the proposed sidewalk routes.

*If a proposed project activity is being undertaken to address the "prevention or elimination of slums or blight," rigorous requirements described in
Appendix E of the "Program Guidelines" must be met.
**If a proposed project activity is being undertaken to address an "urgent need" rather than to benefit low and moderate income families or to
prevent or eliminate slums or blight, the applicant must attach a certification stating that the proposed activity is designed to meet other community
development needs that have arisen during the preceding 12 -month period and have a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious
and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and that other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.
2. Describe how the estimates of low and moderate -income persons were arrived at? Attach supporting
documentation. (Whenever possible, census data should be used in "area -wide benefit" projects to document
benefits to low/moderate income persons. Income surveys should only be used in rare circumstances and only with
prior approval from the Department. If you are considering conducting an income survey, please contact Becky Picaso
at (303) 866-2156 for information on the HUD -required methodology.)
Weld County obtained the low -mod income figures from the HUD website using census data. The appropriate
census tract was identified and the information collected at the block group level was used. According to HUD, in
Census Tract 7.02, Block 3, the area -wide benefit to low/moderate income persons are 59.18%, please refer to the
attached map.
3. If the proposed project includes a local selection process of beneficiaries (e.g., housing rehabilitation), what local
procedures will be used to ensure that: a) benefits projected to be provided to low- and moderate -income persons will
actually be realized by such persons? b) beneficiaries will be selected through an open and equitable process? and c)
greatest needs are addressed?

D. OTHER PROJECT INFORMATION
1. Why is the project needed? What are the specific goals of the project?
The sidewalks are desperately needed to allow the nearby low/mod residents the opportunity to walk or bike to school
in a safe, efficient manner. No sidewalks connect to the school and as a result District 6 has implemented a no walk -
no bicycle policy. Until this infrastructure can be installed, no students or family members can walk to this facility.
The goal of this project is to work with the surrounding residents to provide the safest school routes that best serve
the entire area. In addition, Safe Kids Weld County is coordinating with the residents to conduct a walking audit from
their neighborhoods to the school to inform and educated them about walking and bicycle safety along the proposed
routes.

additional design work must still be completed? Use the "Physical Improvements Cost Estimate Worksheet"

Works Director.

moderate income residing in slum and blight areas and in areas in which CDBG funds are proposed to be used, are

PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The county plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State of

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.

household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate income dwelling to another
use as a direct result of assisted activities.
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the county will take the steps
indicated below to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:`
The following are examples of steps to minimize displacement. The first two are required. The others are optional. Only check
those which are appropriate for the project and local circumstances. Add other steps as necessary or appropriate.
Consider all practical alternatives to any proposed project that may result in residential displacement.
Alternatives to be considered include other sites for the proposed facilities/project. Also to be considered are
the costs and benefits, both financial and nonfinancial, of each alternative.
Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees find alternative housing in the community.
Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate vacancies for households facing displacement.
Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation, working with
empty buildings or groups of empty units first so they can be rehabilitated first and tenants moved in before
rehab on occupied units or buildings is begun.
Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will be of short duration,
so they can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new construction.
Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue
financial burden on long-established owners or on tenants of multi -family buildings.
Develop displacement watch systems in cooperation with neighborhood organizations to continuously review
neighborhood development trends, identify displacement problems, and identify individuals facing displacement
who need assistance.

to ensure greater accountability and integrity in the way in which HUD assistance is made available and applies to
local government CDBG applications that are submitted after March 16, 1992.
Subpart C requires certain applicants for CDBG assistance to make a number of disclosures if they meet a dollar
threshold for the receipt of certain covered assistance. Attached is a list of programs that are considered covered
assistance. Please review this material and the attached Disclosure Form and Instructions carefully. If you have any
questions, contact Bill Verbeten or Teri Davis at (303) 866-2771. All applicants should make several copies of the

Any applicant applying for more than $200,000 of CDBG funds.
Any applicant applying for less than $200,000 of CDBG funds but has received or could receive
covered assistance from any programs on the attached list.
An applicant that is applying for CDBG funds amounting to $200,000 or less, and that will not be receiving other
covered assistance, is not required to make full disclosures, but must complete and submit Parts I and II of the
Disclosure Report with its application.
2. Guidance Regarding Disclosures

occurs:
1. Applicant/grantee discovers that information was omitted from its initial report or last
update report.
2. Additional persons or entities can be identified as interested parties. These are
persons or entities that did not have a pecuniary interest when the initial or last update was
submitted, but who can now be identified as having a pecuniary interest that is required to be
reported.
3. There is an increase in the amount of pecuniary interest of a person or entity identified
in the last report, if this increased pecuniary interest is more than $50,000 or 10% (whichever is
