The City's normal timeframe for obligation of funds meets this requirement. Unfortunately for infrastructure investment due to the release date of the CDBG-R notice, May 5, 2009, it is unfeasible for the city to achieve a goal of using at least 50 percent of the funds for activities that can be initiated not later than 120 calendars days after February 17, 21 B-5
