Application Threshold Review<br />
CDBG General Purpose applications are screened <strong>for</strong> compliance with<br />
application requirements, historically taking a team of four people 2-3 weeks to<br />
complete. This year, CDBG staff streamlined the screening process by<br />
eliminating or deferring a number of application elements that are redundant or<br />
unnecessary during the initial submittal steps. Citizen Participation activities<br />
required by statute have also been streamlined. The result is a simplified<br />
application process and significant reduction in the volume of data submitted to<br />
CTED <strong>for</strong> review.<br />
<strong>Results</strong><br />
★ Overall review time has been reduced from 3 weeks to 1 week.<br />
★ Staff time reduced by 160 hours.<br />
★ Greater staff satisfaction from not having to review complex planning<br />
documents.<br />
★ Applicant satisfaction greatly improved (specific data to be gathered via<br />
survey).<br />
