[0:00] All here, whatever you want to start, sir.
[0:19] Today and state that 3 p.m. on May 13, 2026. This is the second public hearing for the community development block grant program, the CDBG program. This hearing was called to allow all citizens to provide input concerning the projects that were awarded under the 2026 CDBG program. You want to base an association of governments.
[0:46] has amended its capital investment plan and is started to apply for funds on behalf
[0:52] of the U.N.A. Basin area, which includes Daggett, Dushin, and U.N.A. Counties.
[0:59] The application was successful and the regional rating and ranking process was successful
[1:09] in the regional rating and ranking process.
[1:11] Yes. So first, these are the projects that were approved, the planning and administration
[1:22] of $50,000. Kevin, you have a question. Yeah, I'll read about that. So this will, the $50,000
[1:30] that we're applying for, the UN based association of governments has been awarded the $50,000
[1:37] for planning administration from the Community Development Block Grant, 35,000 will go towards the
[1:42] administration of the program in the UN to Basin region. We use this funding to create awareness
[1:48] among local governments about CDBG, its potential uses and limits. We ensure quality applications are
[1:55] submitted to the state of Utah that meet these requirements and we ensure that a transparent
[2:01] and objective and quantifiable writing and ranking system is developed and submitted to our
[2:06] regional review committee, then we make sure that the rating and ranking of our region
[2:12] is reflected in a consolidated plan.
[2:15] And then $15,000 of that $50,000 goes towards work on our consolidated plan which ensures
[2:21] local planning for prioritizing local needs for the CDBG program that it's met and then
[2:27] we assess those needs for the current year and five years down the road.
[2:31] Perfect. Thanks, Kevin. And then the second project, Angie, are you in the room?
[2:40] So Angie is not here and Kendra is filling in for Angie today.
[2:44] Hello.
[2:45] Okay, Kendra, can you walk us through the program delivery and housing rehabilitation program?
[2:53] Yes. So the UNI Basin Association of Government's Housing Rehabilitation Program uses community development block grant funds
[3:01] for the rehabbing of roofs, furnaces, water heaters, windows, water pipeline, septic tanks
[3:06] or sewer problems, 88 and many other housing needs.
[3:10] To receive CDBG housing rehab assistance households must have an annual household income at or
[3:16] below 80% of the area median household income adjusted for the household size and determined
[3:22] annually by HUD.
[3:23] The U-Bag has set aside, has been awarded $260,000 for the construction and delivery for the single-fifth housing rehab.
[3:34] We estimate that five housing units will be assisted.
[3:38] Five attend.
[3:41] You said five.
[3:42] I'm at 10.
[3:43] Sorry, 10 units.
[3:46] Perfect.
[3:47] Thank you so much.
[3:48] And then will you be presenting also the next item which is still, let's see.
[3:57] Homebuyer Assistance, version of part of, okay, go ahead.
[4:01] Okay, the CDBG Homebuyer Assistance Program will receive approximately $48,000 this year in grant funds.
[4:08] Of these funds, $40,000 will go towards closing costs or down payment assistance.
[4:13] And $8,000 will go towards another administration.
[4:16] We estimate six households will be assisted with down payment and or closing costs associated with purchasing a home with an estimated amount of $5,000.
[4:28] We'll go towards each household whose income is at or below the 80% AMI income limits that are set up by HUD.
[4:36] Very
[4:39] good. Thank you. So Commissioner, I'd mention that these are into one grant application
[4:46] although we read them separate. The home buyer is just a program delivery and housing
[4:51] rehab is for a total of $308,000. Thanks for that clarification, Kevin.

[5:55] Very good.
[5:58] All right, I'd like to open it up now, if there are any questions or comments from the
[6:06] public.
[6:08] It doesn't appear there is any comment commissioner.
[6:13] Okay, very good.
[6:16] I'll note as well that copies of the capital investment were unavailable if anybody would
[6:23] like a copy.
