The request is for City Council to adopt Resolution No. 2024-07 which would re-appoint five (5) members to the Florida Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Citizen's Advisory Task Force (CATF).

On January 15, 2019, the City Council created the CDBG CATF and duly appointed six members to serve. City Council then re-appointed six members to the CATF via Resolution No. 2020-11 on April 7, 2020 for a term of three years. As the terms have expired, it is necessary to re-appoint at least five new members to the CATF. The proposed five new members are as follows:

1. Stephen Blanchard Sr. 5100 Providence Circle #4, Income-restricted

2. Tammy Pumphrey 5823 Delaware Ave , Income-restricted

3. John B. Martin 60309 Oak Ridge Ave , Income-restricted

4. Dora Cantwell 5829 Delaware Ave, Non-Income-restricted

5. Jeff Olds, 7341 Jasmin Drive, City Employee, Non-income restricted

As Council will recall, the CATF serves as an oversight committee for the City's CDBG Program.  The CATF must be composed of city residents and a majority of the members must be under 80% of the median income for the Tampa Bay area.  In addition, no member may be an elected official and no more than one member may be a City employee.
