Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process <br />Summary from citizen participation section of plan. <br /> <br />Community participation is a very important part of the Action Plan development process. The City <br />maintains an active database of potential interested parties and uses it to send out notification of grant <br />funding opportunities at the beginning of every application cycle (early December) which is also the <br />beginning of the annual Action Plan (and Consolidated Plan) process. The list currently includes <br />approximately 250 nonprofit agencies, individuals, and other interested parties. In addition, ads are placed <br />in local newspapers (including the Pleasanton Weekly which is distributed to every household in <br />Pleasanton) and on the City’s website. Interested parties have multiple opportunities to participate and <br />provide input on the process starting with annual grant workshops in early December through the annual <br />CAPER hearing held annually in August. <br /> <br />The 30-day public comment period for the Draft Action Plan required by HUD, will take place from April 20 <br />through May 19, 2026. A public hearing at a Pleasanton City Council meeting will be held on May 19, <br />2026, to take comments on the Draft Action Plan. A Public Hearing Notice was published in a locally <br />circulated newspaper The Valley Times on April 22, 2026. Alameda County also published notices <br />regarding the DRAFT Consolidated Plans on April 6, 2026 in the following newspapers: Alameda Times <br />Star, Oakland Tribune, Hayward Daily Review, Fremont Argus and the Tri-Valley Herald. Public notices also <br />will be placed on each Consortium jurisdiction’s website. The notices include provisions for how the <br />disabled can access the meeting along with a detailed description of what is included in the Action Plan. <br />The draft Consolidated Plan will be distributed to all cities and main library branches in Alameda County, <br />HUD, and any interested citizens, organizations, or agencies. The City will also post the draft and final plans <br />on its web site. Once the Consolidated Plan is adopted, it will be made available along with any substantial <br />amendments (if necessary) and the annual performance reports made to the general public. Distribution <br />will be the same as mentioned above as well as any requests made to HCD for a copy of the Action Plan. <br />Materials will also be made available in alternate formats upon request. <br /> <br />5.
