Recently, County staff was notified by St. Lucie County staff that the City of Port St. Lucie and the Villages <br />of Indiantown want to join the Treasure Coast HOME Consortium. At that time, Indian River County staff <br />asked if there was an option of adding any willing Indian River County municipalities to the consortium. <br />St. Lucie County staff indicated that was an option. Subsequently, Indian River County staff coordinated <br />with the City of Fellsmere (which has expressed an interest in joining the consortium) and St. Lucie County <br />staff regarding adding the City of Fellsmere to the consortium. <br />Attached is the first amendment to the Consortium Inter -local Agreement which includes the City of <br />Fellsmere, the City of Port Saint Lucie, and the Villages of Indiantown. According to St. Lucie County, if <br />those three jurisdictions join the consortium, there would be no impact on the amount of HOME funding <br />for Indian River County, Martin County, or St. Lucie County, as each city will get their own share of HOME <br />funding above and beyond what the 3 county consortium would get without the municipalities. Per current <br />funding level, as a member of the consortium, the City of Fellsmere will get about $15,000 per year. <br />To expand the consortium membership, each member must sign the attached amendment to the consortium <br />inter -local agreement. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached first amendment <br />to the Treasure Coast HOME Program Consortium Inter -local Agreement and direct the Chairman <br />and County Attorney to sign the agreement. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />First amendment to the inter -local agreement concerning HUD HOME Investment Partnership Act <br />program consortium. <br />F:\Community Development\HOME Program\HOME PROGRAM ADMIN files\2018 BCC Report\2018 BCC Staff Report June 12, 2018 first <br />amendment to the HOME consortium - revised.docx <br />62 <br />
