BACKGROUND:

An Interlocal with the Town of Century (Town) for $60,000 was approved December 10, 2015 (Exhibit I) to assist the Town with matching repair funds needed under their Residential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP), Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program, and/or historic preservation repair program grant funding secured by the Town.

Due to the February 2016 tornado, Amendment #1 to the Agreement was approved by the Board on May 5, 2016 (Exhibit II) to provide additional funding specifically for tornado victims within the Town for a contract total of $260,000. To date, $174,761 has been expended or is currently encumbered for 10 applicants. Amendment #1 restricted assistance to those impacted by the February 2016 tornado. Amendment #2 (Exhibit III) will allow non-tornado applicants to make application now that the deadline for tornado assistance has passed and will provide for the Town to expend the balance of funds. This Amendment also updates the income guidelines. There is no change to the funding allocation or contract time.

The funding required for this Agreement and the Amendments is budgeted in Fund 120/2015, 2016, or 2017 SHIP, Cost Centers 370201, 370202, and 370204.
