The Sierra Vista City Council on May 28 approved Resolution 2026-035 authorizing staff to submit the city’s 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Vice Mayor Carolyn Flowers moved the measure and the council approved it by voice vote.
Blake Fischer, staff presenting the item, summarized the application process — notice of funding availability, a pre-application meeting, neighborhood commission ranking of applications, a public hearing and a 30-day comment period that returned no comments — and said the proposed allocations are shown in the staff memo. Fischer said the memo lists allocations for infrastructure and facilities and for public services (figures read in the meeting audio contained transcription formatting errors; the allocations are shown in the staff memo on file with the city). "Proposed funding allocations are unchanged and can be seen on page two of the staff memo and on the screen here," Fischer said.
The action authorizes staff to submit the plan to HUD for the program year and adopts the project priorities described in the packet. Council did not request further amendments during the vote.
Why it matters: CDBG funding can support infrastructure and public services that target low- and moderate-income neighborhoods; final federal award and any state-level effects will influence the city’s budget and project timelines. The city manager also noted upcoming budget work sessions in mid-June when the council will consider the tentative budget.
The council approved the resolution during the May 28 meeting; staff indicated the funding breakdown is in the staff memo and the city will proceed with submission to HUD.
