DESCRIPTION
Approve the CDBG subrecipient agreement between Polk County and The City of Auburndale. Funds will be used to construct the additional parking for the Community Center/Gym located at 409 & 411 Cleveland Street, Auburndale. The City will use CDBG funds to acquire two adjacent properties that currently have excessive amounts of code enforcement liens. Following property acquisition, the City will contract for the demolition of each respective structure and will contract for construction of an asphalt parking lot. This newly constructed parking lot will serve as additional parking for the severe overflow from the Community Center/Gym. The City of Auburndale will utilize CDBG funds for the purchase and installation of a generator for an existing stormwater lift station located in the right of way at Bridgers Avenue and Clinton Street. The existing lift station is susceptible to experiencing power outages, causing stormwater flooding into the adjacent neighborhood streets and neighborhood residents. The Board of County Commissioners approved this by adoption of the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Action Plan on July 25, 2023.
The City of Auburndale will use CDBG funds for the above activities in an amount not to exceed $282,766.68 (current allocation FY 23/24 $93,683.00, in addition to $12,813.00 from Town of Dundee allocation FY 23/24 (reimbursement from FY 19/20), and a carryover from FY 22/23 $176,270.68).
