Carter Lake to Conduct Survey for CDBG Application
During the next several weeks, the City of Carter Lake will be conducting a survey of
residents to obtain necessary information needed to apply to the State of Iowa for a
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The CDBG would be applied to the
sewer system improvements that would fix old, deteriorating mains.
To be eligible for funding, projects must meet the national objective of primarily
benefiting low-and-moderate income (LMI) persons. The State uses this information to
help determine if people’s income is high enough to afford paying for the entire project
with local money, for example, through increased taxes or water rates.
The survey will involve only three questions:
1. Please indicate whether you support this project?
2. Is the total household income is more or less than the set dollar amount
(depending on family size)?
3. Racial/ethnic type per household?
CDBG program guidelines require this information to be part of each application.
Cooperation of residents in completing this survey is greatly appreciated. It is necessary
for at least 80% of the households to respond. Residents of the community will receive
the survey by mail from the City. Surveys will be picked up at each household. Those
not responding will be contacted by the City Clerk. The City’s goal is to have the
surveys completed by November1, 2016
Answers remain anonymous; names are not written on the surveys.
