Please note that the City has resumed in-person meetings and will allow in-person participation with a limit of 50% capacity. The percentage of people allowed in the Council Chamber will change as we move into different tiers. The City has provided alternative means to observe the meeting through the City’s website.

Until such time as when we are no longer limiting capacity of persons allowed in the Council Chamber, you may submit comments online though the City’s website at www.cityofelcajon.us, under agendas and minutes.
The City Council encourages citizen participation and accepts comments relative to the Third Amendment of the One Year Action Plan. The City anticipates receiving approximately $1,009,307 in CDBG-CV3 funds, and has already allocated $200,000 of those funds to projects and programs that prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. The Council will consider and take action to allocate additional eligible projects and programs for use of the remaining $809,307 in CDBG-CV3 funds for community development opportunities, and to adopt the Third Amendment to One Year Action Plan for FY 2019-2020, and authorize its submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The Notice of this Public Hearing, and the public review and comment period, are for a minimum 5-day period in accordance with the emergency provisions of the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, in order to quickly distribute the funds to provide CDBG-eligible services as quickly as possible to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. HUD has granted the City of El Cajon a waiver allowing for this reduction in the Notice period and the public review and comment period.
