BRIEF OVERVIEW
Hernando County (County) desires to comply with the requirements of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as an Urban Entitlement County for participation in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs and the State of Florida requirements relating to community development programs, including Fla Admin. Code R.73C-23 (Florida Small Cities CDBG), as amended. The County recognizes the importance of intentional and inclusive community engagement and conducts robust, comprehensive, and effective citizen participation process. The community insights and ideals gained from this outreach are invaluable resources to the development of an appropriate, comprehensive, and meaningful strategy set forth in this plan.
To assist the County in complying with applicable CDBG requirements and related community development activities, the attached Resolution reestablishes and restructures the existing Citizen Advisory Task Force (CATF) as a five (5)-member advisory body, consistent with historical operations, replacing the prior seven (7) member designation, and adopting the updated bylaws governing its operation and function.
