Boyd Wisconsin has several new resolutions, approved at the February and March board meetings. The March resolutions were approved following a public hearing March 10 on Patten Street.
Approved in March 10 were a Citizen Participation Plan and Fair Housing Ordinance, each part of the process of applying for CDBG grant funds. Approved in February was a Wisconsin Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for CDBG programs, as well as several resolutions related to the application process for Patten Street reconstruction funding.
Passed as Resolution 2025-05 (the fifth resolution of the new year), the Citizen Participation Plan calls for encouraging citizen engagement, especially of low to moderate income residents, and providing citizens with reasonable and timely access to local meetings and information. Also included in the resolution is providing technical assistance, public hearings, complaint procedures, and accommodation of non-English speaking residents.
Also approved March 10 as part of the process to apply for funds to rebuild Patten Street, Resolution 2025-06 calls for the village to adopt an official fair housing ordinance, the Village adopting Section 106.50 of the State statutes as this relates to housing via the resolution.
As for resolutions passed in February, these include an authorizing resolution to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application, as well as an authorizing resolution to commit match funds along with certification of match fund secured. Last but not least for February resolutions was adoption of a village policy to prohibit the use of excessive force by law enforcement and to enforce applicable state and local laws prohibiting the physical barring of entrances and exits for non-violent civil rights demonstrations, implementing the authority and enforcement procedures as set forth in Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
Now with said resolutions in place, the Village of Boyd is better positioned to apply for CDBG funds to aid in Patten Street reconstruction.
