10:00 Conduct a public hearing relating to a request to fund up to, but no more than, 4 pay periods of salary and related fringe for PCN #0393, Community Development Block Grant Administrator, from Department 0409 (Non-Departmental) budget and discuss (1) the reason for the payment in excess of the previously approved budget amount, including the public purpose that will be served by making the excess payment; and (2) the exact amount of the excess payment, the sources of the payment and the terms for distribution of the payment that effect and maintain the public purpose to be served by making the excess payment.

The reason for the payment in excess of the budgeted amount (increase of $23,817.24) is due to current federal CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funding expiring January 29th, 2026.  The request is to add funding for up to four pay periods or March 26th, 2026, to cover payroll costs. The payment will be made through the regular payroll process using general fund, non-departmental dollars.  Once the amendment process is complete, the funds used will be reimbursed and placed into the line items originally expensed.  The public purpose served is to provide the services necessary for continuity in the numerous ongoing projects and citizens served through CDBG funding.  This item is similar to one previously submitted and approved by the court on the 02/09/2021 agenda.
