CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN <br />CABARRUSCOUNTY <br />This plan describes how Cabarrus County will involve citizens in the planning, <br />implementation and assessment of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). <br />Program. The CDBG Program provides funds to local governments on a competitive <br />basis. The funds must be used for projects which benefit low-and-moderate-income <br />persons and aids in the provision of employment opporEunities. The program is intended <br />to assist governments in undertaking economic development programs. The regulations <br />give ultimate responsibility for the design and implementation of the program to local <br />elected officials and also requires that citizens be given an opportunity to serve in key <br />advisory roles to these elected officials. <br />ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />To insure that local residents are given a full opportunity to participate in the program, a <br />CDBG Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation Committee will be established to function <br />in an advisory capacity to the governing board regarding program design, implementation <br />and assessment. This five (5) member committee comprised of elected or appointed <br />representatives from each jurisdiction. Members will be appointed by the Cabarrus <br />County Board of Commissioners. Of particular interest is obtaining representation of <br />low-and moderate-income persons, members of minority groups, the elderly and <br />handicapped. <br />SCOPE OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION <br />Citizens will be involved in all stages of the CDBG program, including application, <br />program implementation, amendments, closeout, assessment of performance and design <br />of changes in the Plan. There will be three (3) general mechanisms for their involvement: <br />(1) the Advisory Committee; (2) public hearings and ad hoc community meetings; and <br />(3) individual citizen efforts in the form of comments, complaints or inquiries submitted <br />directly to the Program Administrator or the consultant who is administering the <br />program. <br />PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION <br />Citizen participation in program implementation will occur primarily through <br />consultation with the Advisory Committee. They will be asked to review and comment <br />on specific guidelines for approved projects. They will also meet to review any program <br />amendments, budget revisions and other program modifications. All such changes will be <br />discussed and their comments considered prior to action being taken. These meetings will <br />be held on an as-needed basis. If program amendments require DOC approval, a public <br />hearing will be held on the amendment. Citizens may also be involved in implementation <br />of projects requiring citizen participation. <br />~ ~" <br />
