PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
CDBG
"BLOCK GRANT"FUNDING
The County of Sonoma is currently classified by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ) as an
"Urban County" for purposes of the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) program. This classification enables us to receive
funds each year on a formula rather than a comp'etitive basis.
November 21, 1983
367
In order to maintain "Urban County" status, a County must have a
minimum population of 200,000. With the unincorporated County
area population added to that of the seven cities the population
has reached the 200, 000 level. However, as a result of the 1980
Census, Petaluma was recently designated as a"central city" and
will receive its own entitlement, the remaining six cities will lose
their Urban County status and that annual CDBG beginning with
the 1985-86 Fiscal Year.
The County is formally requesting that the City take action to
remain a part of the "Urban County" so the County as a whole can
retain the CDBG funding status that will benefit of the largest
number of County residents . There is a Federal legislation
working in Congress which would give jurisdictions the option to
remain in "Urban Counties" or withdraw from that status. The
City Council consensus was to go on record to support that
legislation and to remain with the County, so long .as the City of
Petaluma. doesn't loose funding in the process.
HOLIDAY PARKING DOWNTOWN ~ •
At the request of the Downtown Merchants, it was moved by
Councilman Perry and seconded by Councilman Bond to grant the
request of the Downtown Merchants and allow 2-hour free parking
