• CDBG:  Approximately $2.5 million 
• HOME: Approximately $690,000

USA, and Phoenix Rescue Mission via the Homelessness Master Services Agreement.  He stated that staff 
reached out to CASS for funding possibilities.   
 
Committee-member Ojo inquired about support for food pantries.  Mr. Hess stated that Phoenix Rescue 
Mission was the only agency that applied for food bank funding. Mr. Hess explained that there is a food 
bank at Phoenix Rescue Mission, which is Hope for Hunger, however the application was for workforce 
development and therefore, was not eligible for Public Service funding.  He noted that some CARES Act 
funding has been identified.  Mr. Hess asked if there were any other funding recommendations. There 
were none voiced.   
 
Motion by Committee-member Giles, second by Committee-member Vick, to accept the CDAC’s

recommendations for consideration.  Motion carried 8 – 0.

7. DIRECTOR’S REPORT 
Ms. Moreno gave the Director’s Report, which included the following information: 
• Request to Change Meeting Time 
o Last month, there was a request by a Committee-member to change the start time of the 
CDAC meeting. The City Clerk’s Office is in the process of submitting to Council 
uniform bylaws for all City committees to establish uniformity.  The Committee-
members will have a chance to weigh in on the issue.  The changes will also have to go 
through the Government Services Committee.  This matter will be on the agenda for 
the March CDAC meeting.  
• Subcommittees 
o Regarding the use of subcommittees, it was confirmed that Commissions can continue 
to use subcommittees, however, approval must be received by the Government 
Services Committee.  The CDAC has used subcommittees for goals, RFQs, and grant 
applications, and they have been very helpful.     
 
Ms. Moreno thanked all of the Committee-members for their engagement on the Committee.  
 
8. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS 
None.  
 
9. NEXT MEETING 
The next regular meeting of the Community Development Advisory Committee will be held virtually
