CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE 11.03.2026

The Davenport Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting on November 3, 2026, addressed CDBG funding administration and the upcoming Year 53 application cycle. The CAC approved 15-day audit extensions for two agencies, including Family Resources, so their audits can be completed before the application review process; the other agency was not clearly identified in the transcript. Staff explained that audits are also required for next year’s funding applications. The CAC reviewed the application and evaluation criteria, which staff said were unchanged from last year apart from updated dates. Members discussed how scoring informs the allocation formula, applicant guidance, and the City Council’s authority to accept, reject, or revise the CAC’s funding recommendations. Staff noted that public-service grants typically fall in the $20,000–$30,000 range, with a $5,000 minimum under the formula, but no specific awards or total allocation were decided at this meeting.

Staff outlined the upcoming process, including application review and presentations, and said unspent and unobligated funds may be reprogrammed to other eligible activities in January. Members were invited to submit feedback on the application before it is finalized the following week. The CAC also voted to cancel its December 1 meeting. No contract awards, vendor selections, or purchasing decisions were identified.
