PUBLIC COMMENT AND PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT
The City of Iowa City is soliciting public comments on an amendment to its Citizen Participation Plan
(CPP). The City is required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development under
24 CFR § 91.105 to have a plan for involving the community in the programming of federal funds
including Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Program funds. The
CPP describes how the community can provide input for various plans and amendments related to
federal funding.
The CPP was last updated in 2020 and the purpose of the amendment is to modernize methods of input,
ensure consistency with current regulations, add provisions for disasters and emergencies, and increase
clarity in the input and approval process for each plan and any associated amendments.
The revised CPP is available in accordance with the City’s currently adopted CPP online at
www.icgov.org/actionplan. Copies are also available from the Neighborhood and Development Services
Department located at 410 E Washington Street in Iowa City and may be examined or copied weekdays
8 A.M to 5 P.M. Copies are also available at the Iowa City Public Library located at 123 S Linn Street in
Iowa City. The plan will be made available to the public for review electronically or via U.S. Mail. Please
submit your request by U.S. Mail to the Neighborhood and Development Services Department, City of
Iowa City, 410 East Washington Street, Iowa City, IA 52240, or by email to ekubly@iowa-city.org.
Additional information is available by calling 319-356-5121.
A public comment period of more than 30 days to obtain the views of residents, public agencies, and
other interested parties will begin with the publication of this notice on June 6, 2025 and end July 9,
2025. Written comments may be submitted by mail to the Office of the City Clerk at 410 E Washington
St, Iowa City, IA 52240 or by email to ekubly@iowa-city.org
