Marriott-Slaterville History December 2011 The 2012 City Council meeting schedule will remain the same for the coming year; approved by unanimous vote. A public hearing was opened concerning the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Potential projects for which funding may be applied under this program were discussed. The grant money must be spent on projects benefitting primarily low and moderate income persons. The projects identified as being needed in the community are listed in the Capital Investment Plan, as part of the regional consolidated plan. The hearing was opened for public comment. Corey Combe who owns property on 17* Street spoke in favor of constructing the sewer line on that street, which is a project already listed in the CIP. He added that he is in favor of more parks. No other public comment was offered, and the public meeting was closed and the public meeting re-opened. Councilman Rob Smout suggested re-evaluating the priorities of projects listed. Staff can do that in the plan next year. The 2011-12 Capital Investment Plan was approved unanimously. Resolution 22011 -M, to initiate the process for creation of a cemetery district and set a public hearing for January 19, 2012 was discussed, and approved unanimously.
