NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE 2006 CONSOLIDATED
ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT (CAPER) FOR THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Auburn, Washington - The City Council will conduct a public hearing in the Auburn City
Hall Council Chambers, 25 West Main Street, on Monday, April 16, 2007 at 7:30 p.m. or soon
thereafter. The purpose of this public hearing is to solicit public comments on the 2006
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) prior to its submission of the
report to Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The CAPER is an overall review of housing and community development activities
undertaken in 2006 by the City of Auburn. It is part of the Consolidated Planning process, which
is a prerequisite to receiving federal HUD funds. The CAPER delineates the amount of Federal
funding that is distributed through the program, where that money is spent, and it assesses how
that spending addresses the housing and community development goals that the City has set forth
in its Consolidated Plan. In 2006, the CDBG program distributed more than $400,000 for
development and public service activities.
In accordance with 24 CFR 91 of HUD, the City of Auburn solicits comments and public
review for its 2006 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Copies of the Consolidated Plan and the 2006 CAPER Report are available, at no charge,
from the City of Auburn's Department of Planning, Building and Community, 25 W. Main
Street, Auburn, 98001. Copies are also available for public review at the Auburn Senior Center.
Written comments and/or suggestions may be addressed to Michael Hursh with the Auburn
Department of Planning, Building and Community at the above address, or faxed to 253-804-
3114, prior to the public hearing. Interested citizens may also offer oral comments at the City
Council public hearing on Monday, April 16, 2007.
Non-English speaking residents and citizens with speech, sight, or hearing impairments who
wish to review the documents or comment at the public hearing should contact the Auburn
Planning Department. Each request will be considered individually according to the type of
assistance required, the availability of resources, and the financial ability of the City to provide
accommodation.
