ATTACHMENT A
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
The 49th Street area is located Southwest of the City of Evans in
unincorporated Weld County. Based on a survey by the Weld County Health
Department there are a total of 23 homes in the area. Currently, all of the
homes are served by septic systems. The survey was able to determine that
55.6% of the homes have failing septic systems. In 47% of the households
effluent is either surfacing or being discharged onto the ground. This
represents a very serious environmental hazard for the residents of this
area.
As a means of addressing this problem, the City of Evans has agreed to extend
their sewer lines and collector to this unincorporated area. Weld County
will own the lines but subcontract the operation and maintenance to the City
of Evans.
This project is the first phase of a two-phase project which will provide
public facility improvements to the 49th Street area and the Valley View area
which is located just to the North of 49th Street. Both areas have a high
percentage of low income households and will require both public facility
improvements and housing.

Pursuant to Section 104(a) (3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974, as amended, this Citizen Participation Plan is hereby adopted to ensure
that the citizens of Weld County, particularly persons of low and moderate
income residing in slum and blight areas and in areas in which CDBG funds are
proposed to be used, are provided an opportunity and encouraged to
participate in the planning and implementation of CDBG-funded activities.
PUBLIC HEARING
Public Hearings will be the primary means of obtaining citizen views and
responding to proposals and questions related to community development and
housing needs, proposed CDBG and past CDBG performance.
Prior to submitting a CDBG application to the State, Weld County will conduct
at least one public hearing to identify community development and housing
needs, including the needs of low and moderate income persons, as well as
other needs in the community that might be addressed through the CDBG
program, and to review proposed CDBG activities and the past performance of
Weld County in carrying
A formal public notice will be published in a newspaper of general
circulation in the area at least five (5) days prior to such public hearings.
A public notice will also be posted in the Evans City Hall and in other
places frequented by the public, especially low and moderate income persons
and persons benefitting from or affected by proposed CDBG activities. As
circumstances warrant and as Weld County determines necessary or appropriate,
participation may additionally be specifically solicited from persons of low
and moderate income, those benefitting from or affected by CDBG activities
and/or representatives of such persons. Hearings will be held at times and
locations convenient to potential and actual beneficiaries, and with
accommodation for the handicapped. In the case of public hearings where a
significant number of non-English speaking residents can be reasonably
expected to participate, arrangements will be made to have an interpreter
present.
PUBLIC INFORMATION AND RECORDS
Information and records regarding the proposed and past use of CDBG funds
will be available at the Evans City Hall during regular office hours. The
public will be so informed by public notice. Special communication aids can
be made available to persons on request.
930332
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The Weld County Housing Authority will provide technical assistance to groups
representative of persons of low and moderate income that request assistance
in developing CDBG proposals. The level and type of assistance appropriate
will be determined by the Weld County Housing Authority based on its ability
to provide or arrange for such assistance, the cost of providing such
assistance and other relevant factors.
WRITTEN COMMENTS AND RESPONSES
The Weld County Housing Authority will respond to written complaints and
grievances in writing in a timely manner. When practicable, such written
responses shall be made within fifteen (15) working days.

RESIDENTIAL ANTIDISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN
(for the Community Development Block Grant Program)
The Weld County Housing Authority will replace all occupied and vacant
occupiable low/moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a
use other than as low/moderate income housing as a direct result of
activities assisted with CDBG funds, as required by Section 104(d) of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (the Act) , and
implementing regulations at 24 CFR 570.496a.
All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the
commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion.
Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such
demolition or conversion, the Weld County Housing Authority will make public
and submit to the State the following information in writing:
1. Description of the proposed assisted activity;
2. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling
units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or
converted to a use other than as low/moderate dwelling units as
a direct result of the assisted activity;
3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the
demolition or conversion;
4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling
units by size (number of bedrooms: that will be provided as
replacement dwelling units;
5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of
replacement dwelling units; and,
6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will
remain in a low/moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10
years from the date of initial occupancy.
The Weld County Housing Authority will provide relocation assistance, as
described in 570.496a(b) (2) , to each low/moderate income 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 Weld County Housing Authority 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.
X Provide substantial levels of relocation assistance, as required
by 24 CFR 570.496a(b) (2) . The substantial cost of providing such
assistance serves as a strong deterrent to unnecessary
displacement.
930332
X Replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate income
housing demolished or converted as a direct result of CDBG-
assisted project activities, and make such replacement housing
affordable for at least ten years. The substantial cost of
providing such replacement housing serves as a strong deterrent
to unnecessary displacement.
_ Consider all practical alternatives to any proposed project which
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.
