PLAN DE PARTICIPACIÓN CIUDADANA DE LA CIUDAD DE AUSTIN A. PROPÓSITO Las Jurisdicciones Participantes (PJ, por sus siglas en inglés) que reciben fondos de subvención garantizada por ley del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD) de los Estados Unidos deben desarrollar un Plan de Participación Ciudadana (CPP, por sus siglas en inglés). El CPP describe las iniciativas que se llevarán a cabo para fomentar la participación de los miembros de la comunidad en el desarrollo de los informes federales de la Ciudad: Evaluación de Vivienda Justa (AFH), Plan Consolidado, Plan de Acción Anual y el Informe Consolidado Anual de Rendimiento y Evaluación (CAPER). los El CPP está diseñado para fomentar la participación de los residentes de la ciudad en el desarrollo de informes federales mencionados anteriormente, en especial aquellos residentes que perciben predominantemente ingresos bajos y moderados. Para los fines de asignación de fondos de Subvención en Bloque para Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG), se considera que un residente tiene ingresos bajos cuando el ingreso familiar es igual al 50% o menos del ingreso familiar mediano (MFI), según lo estimado por el HUD. Una persona se considera de ingresos moderados cuando su ingreso familiar está entre el 50% y el 80% del MFI. Los vecindarios de ingresos predominantemente bajos a moderados se definen como cualquier vecindario donde al menos el 51% de los residentes tienen ingresos iguales o inferiores al 80% del MFI para un año determinado. La Ciudad determina si un vecindario cumple con la definición de ingresos bajos a moderados al momento de financiar un proyecto de beneficio en toda el área, utilizando datos actuales proporcionados por el HUD. El CPP también fomenta la participación de instituciones locales y regionales y otras organizaciones (incluidas empresas, desarrolladores y organizaciones comunitarias y religiosas) en el proceso de desarrollo e implementación del Plan Consolidado y los informes relacionados. La Ciudad lleva a cabo medidas adecuadas para promover la participación de personas de grupos minoritarios, personas con dominio limitado del inglés y personas con discapacidades. Es importante destacar que el uso por parte del HUD del término estatutario "participación ciudadana" de ninguna manera limita la participación y consulta con los miembros de la comunidad según su condición legal o país de origen. Se alienta a cualquier persona que resida en el área metropolitana de Austin a proporcionar información sobre el proceso de presentación de informes federales, tal como se describe en este CPP. …

Item02/15 Item02/16 Item02/17 Item02/18 Item02/19 Item02/20 3701 Robbins Rd- ERI proposal request Skylar Netherland To: Sarah Wigfield <s Cc: Bhavani Singal <v Hi Sarah, Sarah Wigfield Mon, Mar 4, 2024 at 12:31 PM From an ecological perspective it would be much less disruptive to leave the dock where it is. It is currently surrounded by fringe wetlands that you would be required to complete mitigation for impacts if construction occurred in them. I don’t know much about the required setbacks for construction but if they are requiring or requesting you move the dock then I would advise touching base with the watershed protection department in the process. Watershed protection will be the ones that will require mitigation for impacts to the wetland areas and they often aren’t brought into the mix until the end of the process for some reason. If they are already involved then I would advise contacting them to see what their options are. FYI, I have taken a position out of state so I have moved. I am happy to respond and help as I can through email but I’m a couple time zones away so coordination to consult with watershed protection directly for me is impractical.

As the team leader, she asked to be copied on all emails responding to questions about the project. Can you elaborate on the brief discussion we had online regarding the ecological impacts to the wetlands if we move the boat dock rather than rebuilding it where it is? I understand that mitigation will be required in both cases, but is it true that less damage to the wetland vegetation will result if we restrict construction to the current footprint? We appreciate your help!
