The purpose of this `Request for Input' is to identify needs within the community and begin
discussions among City Commissioners and community organizations for determining best
approaches for meeting these needs. In addition, one project determined of greatest potential
benefit to low and moderate income residents may be selected for city sponsorship of a
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) proposal to the Montana Department of
Commerce (MDOC). Guidelines and criteria regarding this grant are available from the MDOC
website.
The anticipated deadline for submitting CDBG proposals to MDOC for the current funding cycle
is March 16th. In the event the City selects a project for sponsorship, the organization and project
will be announced during a public meeting held prior to the March 16th deadline. The City does
not anticipate obligating City funds in support of any proposal. However, City staff may be
designated to assist organizations seeking funding for projects, whether or not these projects are
selected for CDBG sponsorship.

to affirm in writing it will not discriminate on the basis of color, religion, creed, sex, age, marital
status, national origin, or because of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or
disability and recognizing the eventual contract will contain a provision prohibiting
discrimination as described above and this prohibition on discrimination shall apply to the hiring
and treatment of the Contrast's employees and to all subcontracts. Failure to comply with the
above shall be cause for the City to deem the submittal non-responsive.
