A referral from Councilmember Burns on prioritizing alley improvement funding prompted staff to confirm they will research potential funding avenues, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Chris Sousa, assistant city engineer, told the committee staff will look into whether CDBG funds and other measures are available to support alley improvements and will report back. Committee members said the objective Councilmember Burns sought appears to already be underway through staff work, and they did not move a separate legislative referral.
No vote or formal referral was recorded; the committee moved on after confirming staff action and availability of funding options will be investigated.
