Persons who are not parties to this Consent Order, but whose substantial interests are affected by it, have a right to petition for an administrative hearing under sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition concerning this Consent Order means that the Department's final action may be different from the position it has taken in the Consent Order.

The petition for administrative hearing must contain all of the following information:

1. The name and address of each agency affected and each agency's file or identification number, if known;
2. The name, address, any e-mail address, any facsimile number, and telephone number of the petitioner, if the petitioner is not represented by an attorney or a qualified representative; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner's substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination;
3. A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency decision;
4. A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate;
5. A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency's proposed action;
6. A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency's proposed action, including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and
7. A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency's proposed action.

The petition must be filed (received) at the Department's Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS# 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000 or received via electronic correspondence at Agency Clerk@floridadep.gov, within 21 days of receipt of this notice. A copy of the petition must also be mailed at the time of filing to the District Office at 13051 N Telecom Pkwy, Temple Terrace, FL. Failure to file a petition within the 21-day period constitutes a person's waiver of the right to request an administrative hearing and to participate as a party to this proceeding under sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. Within 10- days after filing a petition, a person whose substantial interests are affected by this Consent Order may choose to pursue mediation as an alternative remedy under section 120.573, Florida Statutes. Choosing mediation will not adversely affect such person's right to an administrative hearing if mediation does not result in a settlement. Additional information about the mediation process and procedure is provided in section 120.573, Florida Statutes and Rule 62-110.106(12), Florida Administrative Code.

30-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD & PUBLIC HEARINGS

The City of Clearwater is hereby publishing the proposed 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Annual Action Plan (AAP) to allocate federal funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Consolidated Plan identifies strategic goals to address the needs of low- and moderate-income persons over the next five-year period, which begins on October 1, 2025, and ends on September 30, 2030. The AAP identifies projects and activities to be implemented by the City during FY 2025, which begins on October 1, 2025, and ends on September 30, 2026. CDBG funds are used to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities to principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. HOME funds are used to foster private sector partnerships with for-profit and non-profit organizations to develop affordable housing.

In addition to the entitlement grant, funding allocations include anticipated program income generated by the City’s Revolving Loan Fund as well as prior-year (i.e., carryover) resources from projects that were either cancelled or completed under budget to be applied toward new projects. The City of Clearwater anticipates an estimated $925,886 in new CDBG funds, $52,900 in CDBG program income, and $367,673 in prior-year CDBG resources. The City also anticipates an estimated $383,226 in new HOME funds, $2,416,313 in HOME program income, and $2,591,861 in prior-year HOME resources. These funds will be programmed to eligible activities under these grant programs.

The list below, organized by strategic goal, captures all proposed projects to be funded with CDBG and HOME resources in FY 2025. Funding for these and other projects are estimated resources only and funding amounts may increase or decrease based upon actual program income, prior-year adjustments, and/or final federal funding allocations. Due to these and other factors, the City of Clearwater reserves the right to add or delete projects and/or adjust funding allocations proportionally.
