[Adopted 3-8-1995 (Ch. 6 of the 1983 Code)]
A Citizen Participation Plan for the Village of Corinth which
details how the Village will meet the requirements of § 508
of the Housing and Community Development Act which the Village must
address in order to receive federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) or other related funding is hereby adopted as follows:
A. The community will provide for and encourage citizen participation
with particular emphasis on participation by low- and moderate-income
residents through media activities designed to provide access to information
on available moneys and services. The Village administrative staff
and/or community development consultants will be present at public
hearings to respond to proposals and questions pertaining to all stages
of the community development program, including the development of
needs, review of proposed activities and review of program performance.
Information will be available to citizens regarding the community's
plan for minimizing displacement of persons as a result of activities
assisted with CDBG funds and for assisting persons actually displaced.
B. The community will provide citizens with reasonable and timely access
to local meetings, information and records relating to the grantee's
proposed use of funds. All meetings and public hearings will be open
to the public and will provide adequate public notification as required
by state and local regulations. The community will encourage local
newspapers and information services to announce these public meetings
and encourage citizen solicitation of CDBG proposals.
C. Any individual who steps forward requesting technical assistance
for groups representative of persons of low and moderate income that
request information in developing proposals with the level and type
of assistance to be determined by the grantee will be referred to
the community's consulting firm.
D. At a minimum, one formal public hearing shall be held after adequate
notice at the community's municipal building to obtain citizen
views. Information will be provided to citizens concerning the amount
of CDBG funds expected to be available to the community, including
the annual grant, program income, surplus from urban renewal settlement,
and proceeds from HUD guaranteed loans for community development and
housing activities, and the range of activities that may be undertaken
with these funds.
E. Any written complaint or grievance submitted to the community pertaining
to CDBG activities will be responded to in a timely written statement
within 15 working days where practicable.
F. The 2010 Census data indicates there is not a significant community
of non-English-speaking residents within the community. Should the
need arise where a significant number of non-English-speaking residents
can be reasonably expected to be effected by local government using
federal funds, accommodations will be made so that these individuals
may participate in the proceedings.
[Adopted 3-8-1995 (Ch. 15, Art. I, of the 1983 Code)]
The following Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance
Plan is hereby adopted:
A. The Village of Corinth has not planned or proposed projects or requested
financial assistance from the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) for projects that are intended or are
likely to cause any relocation, temporary or permanent.
B. The likelihood that any grant assistance to the Village for any project
will result in any displacement or relocation will be cause for the
municipality to reject the project. Therefore, the municipality estimates
that there will be no permanent or temporary displacement.
C. In the event that, even with these safeguards, displacement or relocation
should, nonetheless, occur, the procedures specified in HUD Handbook
1878, Tenant Assistance, Relocation and Real Property Acquisition,
will be followed.
D. In the event that temporary relocation occurs, it shall be the responsibility
of the property owner to prepare a temporary relocation plan which
complies with all Federal Relocation Act requirements.
