not yet present on the meeting.  
Staff Ruiz read the summary of the proposed substantial amendment.  
Staff Ouchakof added that a public notice has been posted about the proposed  
amendment, and a public hearing would be held at the March 1, 2022 Commission  
meeting to garner resident input. Following the public hearing on March 1, the  
Commission will act upon the item and if approved, the amendment will move forward to  
the County Board for approval.

2021  
ACT-454  
Attachments: 2022 CDBG Commission meeting schedule  
Staff summarized the proposed calendar for 2022 CDBG Commission meetings.  
DeGollon asked about the holidays in October, and about the possibility of meeting on  
the regular first Tuesday of month, October 4th. Staff cited the County Board holiday  
memo, stating that the meeting would need to be finished prior to sunset. Chair Solberg  
proposed the Commission plan on meeting October 4th instead of October 25th, and  
consider moving the meeting earlier in the day depending on the volume of agenda items  
for that meeting. Staff also noted a mistake for the month of November, as the CDBG  
meeting date should read November 1st instead of November 2nd.  
A Motion by DeGollon, seconded by Brown, to approve the meeting calendar, as  
presented, which includes the aforementioned changes (October 4th instead of October  
25th, and November 1st instead of November 2nd). Motion carried unanimously by a  
voice vote.
