Special Orders of the Day
SUBJECT:
Title

Body
I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson proposes to amend the 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan to reallocate previously-awarded supplemental Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, referred to as CDBG-CV, pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, as well as to amend the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan to reallocate previously-budgeted CDBG entitlement funds. Because the funds involved pertain to two different Annual Action Plans, two separate substantial amendments are being presented.
