Title
APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BROWARD COUNTY AND CITY OF MARGATE PROVIDING FOR FUNDING AND ADMINISTRATION OF 41ST AND 42ND YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM; PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENT AND EXTENSION OF THE AGREEMENT WITHOUT FURTHER COMMISSION ACTION; PROVIDING FOR TERMINATION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND: This proposed Interlocal Agreement between Broward County and the City of Margate would provide for administration of the City’s CDBG program for program years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The Agreement includes retroactive application to provide for approval of administration of assistance to recipients that are eligible under all available program funding years.
When Broward County housing staff initially presented the proposed Agreement to the Broward County Commission, only administration of program years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 was presented. Broward County housing staff will be bringing an amendment to the County Commission to add program years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. This resolution provides for the Mayor and City Manager to approve the amendment for the additional program years without further Commission Action.
RECOMMENDATION: For approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: The County will draw down CDBG Funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for payment of CDBG Program eligible expenses in addition to twenty percent (20%) of the total funding and Program Income for each fiscal year for administration costs for the County to prepare, implement, and administer the City’s CDBG program.
