Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the allocation of $190,000 from the Community Development Block Grant Program Year 2025-2026 Public Improvement Funding for the CDBG Ramps and Paths Project and approving Budget Amendment Number 26.012.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Ramps and Paths Project (st2506), approved by City Council on May 14, 2025, includes the removal and reconstruction of approximately 80 curb ramps at locations throughout the City, as well as the construction of an accessible pedestrian path at Cypress and Pine Park.
