One of the primary missions was to develop a new committee struc- <br />ture to advise the Council on community development and housing program pOlicy <br />issues. The most significant portion of this community development activity <br />relates to the Community Development Block Grant. This year the eommunity <br />Development Block Grant provided Eugene with an entitlement of $1,292,410. <br /> <br />The I-CDC encouraged public discussion relative to the structure of a permanent <br />eommunity Development eommittee by conducting public hearings on October 24 <br />and December 13. In addition, specific input was requested from a variety of <br />interest groups. These groups included the Planning eommission, the Downtown ~ <br />~ommission, the Human Rights Commissions, the Chamber of Commerce, ~ighborhood ~ <br />groups, and the Lane Interagency Network (a coalition of social service providers). <br />In December, a draft recommendation was developed and forwarded to the Planning <br />Commission, the Downtown Commission, and the Human Rights eommission for review <br />and comment. The intent was to forward a recommendation on to Council which had <br />widespread public support. Each of these bodies supported the recommendation <br />without dissent. <br /> <br />Committee Purpose: <br /> <br />The I-CDC recommends that the permanent Community Development Committee be <br />primarily a body which provides advisory policy guidance and evaluation of the <br />eommunity Development Block Grant and related programs. The recommendation is <br />that this group meet quarterly, except as needed during peak workload periods. <br />A proposed list of roles and functions for the eDC is listed below. <br /> <br />A. The committee shall be advisory to council, with a quarterly meeting <br />schedule, except during peak work periods. <br /> <br />B. Development of eommunity Development Block Grant three-year <br />plans--including program goals and funding strategies. <br /> <br />e <br />
