RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Amendment #1 to the Interlocal Agreement for HOME Substantial Rehab/Reconstruction Assistance Project - Tonya Gant, Neighborhood and Human Services Department Director

That the Board Take the following action concerning Amendment #1 to the Interlocal Agreement for HOME Substantial Rehab/Reconstruction Assistance Project with the Town of Century:

A. Approve Amendment #1 to the Interlocal Agreement for HOME Substantial Rehab/Reconstruction Assistance Project, increasing the funding from to $75,000 to $79,275, in U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME funds; and

B. Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute the Amendment.

[Funding: Fund 147, 2012 HUD HOME Consortium Fund, Cost Center 370266 (formerly 220458) and 2013 HUD HOME Consortium, Cost Center 370265 (formerly 220458)]

BACKGROUND:

The Board of County Commissioners approved an Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Century on April 9, 2015 (Exhibit I) which provided for the Town of Century (Century) to substantially rehabilitate or rebuild at least one home for an income eligible homeowner in the Town of Century. Century has approved an income eligible owner, provided specifications, put the job out to bid, and has commenced work on a home. Century has requested additional funding in the amount of $4,275 in order to cover change orders needed to complete the work at the site. Change orders include providing natural gas service in lieu of electric, providing for additional dirt work and sod around the home for erosion control, and for inclusion of front and rear storm doors. The Amendment (Exhibit II) provides an updated budget.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Century does not have adequate funding to cover the cost of these change orders, and funding is available from the HOME budget. Century has covered approximately $1450 in soft costs from their own funding in support of this project.

Funding: Fund 147, 2012 HUD HOME Consortium, Cost Center 370266 (formerly 220458) and 2013 HUD HOME Consortium, Cost Center 370265 (formerly 220458)

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

This Amendment was reviewed and approved by Kristin Hual, Assistant County Attorney.

PERSONNEL:

No impact to personnel.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

HUD HOME program requires written agreements for implementation of projects. The Board of County Commissioners must approve interlocals with other local governments and increases to project budgets.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

The Neighborhood Enterprise Division (NED) will coordinate implementation of the project with the Town of Century to complete the housing project.
