Public hearings will be held after a notice has been published in a local newspaper, at least 14 days prior to the date of the scheduled meeting. An agenda for the meeting shall be posted at City Hall 72-hours prior to the meeting. Public hearings are usually held during City Council meetings on every other Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers at City Hall. The City is not responsible for providing public transportation to these meetings. Every effort will be made to hear the testimony of all who wish to comment at a public hearing; however, in the event that there is not enough time to hear everyone's testimony, the public is encouraged to submit their comments in writing. Special accommodations will be made for people with disabilities if a request is submitted within five working days before the hearing. The request shall be submitted to the City Clerk's Office. The City will make every effort to provide translators for people who do not speak English, if requests are made within five working days prior to the hearing to the City Clerk's office. 6.0 PLAN DEVELOPMENT 6.1 The Five-Year Consolidated Plan ("Consolidated Plan") 6.1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION: The Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive document, providing a detailed description of the housing and community development needs in San Leandro, prioritizes them and then develops a strategy with goals and activities for addressing the needs. 6.1.2 THE PROCESS: 1. In 2004, and every five years thereafter, the San Leandro Housing Services Division will prepare a calendar containing a schedule for the preparation of the Consolidated Plan. The schedule shall contain tentative dates for the preparation of the Plan along with the dates for community meetings, public notices, public hearings, comment period start and end dates, and when the proposed and final Plans are expected to be available to the public. 2. Community meetings will be held at various locations convenient to the public. Because the goal of the planning process is to have as many citizens as possible participate, the City will send out notices to individuals and organizations on the CDBG mailing list, post notices at neighborhood centers and other locations accessible to the public, and advertise in the newspaper, local television cable channel and local radio station. The objective of these meetings is to explain the purpose and process of the Consolidated Plan, identify the needs in the community and clarify the vision San Leandro residents have for the City. The needs will be prioritized and goals, objectives, and activities developed that will be incorporated into the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. 3. Presentation to Council Sub-Committee: An initial draft of the Consolidated Plan will be presented to the Council Business Development Sub-Committee, before presenting it to the City Council at a public hearing.
