Body
DATE: July 15, 2025
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Tiffanie McNair, Executive Director Community Development
SUBJECT: A public hearing consideration of a memorandum/resolution adopting revisions to the City of Killeen Citizen Participation Plan
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Pursuant to the citizen participation requirements of 24 CFR Section 91.105, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires a participating jurisdiction (PJ) to have an approved Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) that outlines policies and procedures for ensuring that residents have an opportunity to be fully engaged in community improvement activities. The Citizen Participation Plan provides the framework through which residents can have input and influence over proposed community development activities particularly the development, implementation, and assessment of programs as outlined in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (CP), Annual Action Plan (AAP), Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI), and other city administered HUD-funded programs.
As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) entitlement funds, the City of Killeen is a designated PJ.
The first CPP was approved and adopted by the Killeen City Council in July 1988 with revisions in January 1995, April 1998, January 2011, January 2015, and April 2020; all comply with revised regulations for Community Planning and Development Programs.
The current revision to the CPP will further clarify CD staff and Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) responsibilities, modernize the Substantial Amendment criteria, and update other relevant information. Public Notice of the CPP comment period was published in the Killeen Daily Herald on May 18, 2025.
HUD requires that revisions to the CPP be adopted and followed by the PJ until a subsequent revision is proposed.
The first public hearing regarding the proposed CPP revision was held on June 3, 2025. The public comment period was from June 9-July 15, 2025.
