programs during the period July 1, 2019 — June 30, 2020. The Citizen Participation Plan sets
forth the policies and procedures by which the City will encourage citizens to participate in the
development of each these plans as well as the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation

proposed to the Consolidated Plan and/or the Annual Action Plan, the City requires that the public
be notified and a public hearing be held to allow the public an opportunity to comment on the
proposed substantial changes.
