238 Ail replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the County will make public and submit to the Division of Community Assistance the following information in writing: 1. A description of the proposed activity; 2. A general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity; 3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion; 4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units; 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of the replacement units; and 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. The County will provide relocation assistance, as described in 570.606 (b)(2), to each low/moderate-income household displaced by the demolition or housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate- income dwelling to another use as a direct result of assisted activities. Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the act, we will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes: No housing unit will be demolished that, after inspection, that has been found to be in such structural condition that it can be repaired for $25.00 per square foot up to a maximum of $25,000 per structure. No housing unit will be converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income housing using CDBG funds. October 17, 1994 By: /s/ Jeffrey L. Date Chairman ATTEST: /s/ Frankie F. Bonds Clerk CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN CABARRUS COUNTY Barnhart This plan describes how the County will involve citizens in the planning, implementation and assessment of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The CDBG Program provides funds to local governments on a competitive basis. The funds must be used for projects which benefit low-and moderate-income persons and aids in the elimination and prevention of slums and blight. The program is intended to assist governments in undertaking neighborhood improvement programs. The regulations give ultimate responsibility for the design and implementation of the program to local elected officials and also requires that citizens be given an opportunity to serve in key advisory roles to these elected officials. ADVISORY COMMITTEE To insure that local residents are given a full opportunity to participate in the program, a Neighborhood Area Committee will be established to function in an advisory capacity to the governing board regarding program design, implementation and assessment. This five (5) member committee will consist of three (3) residents of the designated Target Area (the area that is the subject of the CDBG project), and two (2) at-large members. Members will be appointed by the governing board. Citizens and civic organizations are urged to make recommendations for appointment. Of particular interest is
