County Attorney's Matters - B.C.C. 10.14.14 Office of INDIAN RIVER COUNTY ATTORNEY Dylan Reingold, County Attorney William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney Kate Pingolt Cotner, Assistant County Attorney MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Dylan Reingold, County Attorney DATE: October 7, 2014 SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant Citizen Advisory Task Force BACKGROUND. ihr, The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is going through the process of revising Chapter 73C- 23, Florida Administrative Code which relates to the Florida Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Under the new rule, an applicant for funding may claim up to ten points if it has an active Citizen Advisory Task Force (CATF) which has at least five residents and at least 51% of the members from low- to moderate -income households. Indian River County does have an active CATF. There are eleven positions on the CATF. Of those, four are vacant. One position is reserved for the Director of the Community Development Department. At this time, the CATF does not meet the threshold requirement of members from low- to moderate -income households. In order to meet this requirement, the County Attorney recommends that the Board restructure the CATF from eleven members to five members. By eliminating the four vacant positions, removing the Director of the Community Development Department, and eliminating one of the members who exceeds the income threshold, the CATF will be compliant with the new rule. The attached resolution restructures the CATF.
