Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency Board meets (December 14, 2022)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency Board<\/strong> has approved the agency’s 2023 budget<\/strong> which includes two additional personnel.<\/p>\n

The $1.4 million budget includes the creation of a Compliance Manager<\/strong> position as well as the hiring of an additional Target Area Code Enforcement Officer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Director of Development Crystal Surdyk<\/strong> said U.S. Housing and Urban Development<\/strong> recommended the creation of the position, “We’re calling it a Compliance Manager because it really is.. we don’t see it as just being HUD. We are looking at it as a position that would manage all of our HUD grants, our Federal grants, any state grants we get. For all of those different types of grants there’s always some level of administration that has to go with them, there’s reporting back. HUD is probably the big example.”<\/p>\n

Surdyk said HUD has done several monitorings of the Department of Development<\/strong> over the last couple years as they hadn’t done one in 15 years, “They did a series of monitorings on our financial management, processes and procedures, HOME program<\/strong>, CDBG<\/strong>. They actually monitored us twice for HOME, which was an anomoly, and our CHDOs which is our Community Housing Development Organization<\/strong> program that is sort of a side project out of HOME.”<\/p>\n

She added that the HUD monitoring is standard procedure and wasn’t punitive or disciplinary in nature.<\/p>\n

Surdyk said the new Code Enforcement Officer will be funded through Community Development Block Grant funds from HUD. She said the current Code Enforcement Officers are over-burdened and struggling to keep up, “We do have some additional grants that we are partnering with other agencies on. And those grants are utilizing our Code Enforcement Officers and their experience and what they do on a daily basis. And in that partnership, one of them in particular is the Healthy Homes Production Grant<\/strong> that’s with the County.”<\/p>\n

She said DOD will receive administrative funds from that partnership.<\/p>\n

The addition of the position will bring the total number of Code Enforcement Officers in the Department of Development to four.<\/p>\n

Surdyk said the over $300,000 increase in the 2023 budget from 2022 can be mainly attributed to increased staffing and staffing costs. Aside from the new positions approved in the budget, JURA also is now contributing to the cost of the shared Grant Writer position and the Associate Corporation Counsel position, the latter which had previously been funded through a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
