BOX 758 GREELEY, CO 80632 The Honorable Brian Rudy Mayor of Evans 1100 37th Street Evans, CO 80620 Dear Mayor Rudy, Congratulations! The City of Evans is being awarded a Weld County CDBG program grant in the amount of $50,000 for support of your Water Efficiency Program to replace high water consuming fixtures and to install energy -efficient light bulbs and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the homes of your low to moderate income residents who qualify for the State's Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP). The grant funds will be used to cover the cost of the materials for this program and a stipend for the Weld County Youth Corp to perform energy audits and install these water -saving, energy efficiency and home safety fixtures in approximately 50 homes in Evans. The Weld County Board of County Commissioners has set the priorities for the Weld CDBG Program to be public improvements including adequate public infrastructure, housing preservation, and access to public services. Additionally, the Weld County CDBG Program is designed to provide funding to address community development needs in which at least 70% of the funding must principally benefit low and moderate -income persons. This project meets the program goal of housing preservation for the City's low to moderate -income residents. The home upgrades provided through this program will make for safer, more energy efficient homes for low to moderate -income residents of Evans and the resulting lower utility bills will help these individuals remain in their homes. All projects require some level of environmental review which could delay start of the project. The City of Evans, as subrecipient, CANNOT begin to incur either administrative or program costs associated with the project until an environmental review has been completed and a subrecipient agreement with the Weld County CDBG Program is fully and properly executed. Please Contact Don Sandoval, CBDG Manager, at (970) 400-4480 or Cynthia Martin, CDBG Analyst, at (970) 537-1769 at your earliest convenience to initiate contracting procedures. We as a board are excited to help these projects happen and see what new life is breathed into these communities when they're completed.
