A series of public hearings were held in each City Commission District to solicit public participation in the planning process for each District's U.S. HUD related grant activities. Public hearings were duly advertised to provide public notice regarding the proposed use for said grants. On February 14, 2008, an RFP, with a due date of March 14, 2008, was issued soliciting proposals from agencies implementing economic development activities that may be funded with CDBG funds; and Said RFP was issued for a one year period with the option to extend such contract for an additional year, contingent on the availability of funds, and that the agency had met their contractual obligations. A total of ninety-nine (99) responses, with the total requested funding amount of $8,834,357, were received from agencies and reviewed by the City's Department of Community Development. Out of said responses, a total of sixty (60) agencies were selected for the recommendation of 34th Program year, 2008-2009, CDBG funds in the economic development category, for a total funding recommendation of $4,010,172.
