At this time, the Board of County Commissioners is to consider authorizing the chairman to <br />execute the DEO/Indian River County CDBG agreement (Attachment 1) and to authorize staff to <br />transmit the signed copies to DEO. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The DEO/Indian River County CDBG agreement is a standard legal document detailing the <br />applicable state and federal regulations and department rules that govern how CDBG grants are to <br />be administered. As a condition to receiving funds from the state, the County must agree to follow <br />those regulations and rules. As provided for in the grant, the County will hire a consultant for grant <br />administrative services, including services to ensure compliance with applicable CDBG <br />regulations and rules. <br />FUNDING: <br />The total amount of Housing Rehabilitation CDBG funding allocated to the County is $750,000. <br />The County has committed an additional $50,000 in a local funding match from the County's State <br />Housing Initiative Partnership program. Of the total $750,000 in grant funds, up to $112,500 may <br />be used for grant administration expenses. The remaining $637,500 must be used to rehabilitate <br />or replace deteriorated housing within the unincorporated areas of the County of low and moderate <br />income households. <br />The grant revenue and expenses will be funded by a budget amendment posted in Fund 129/Project <br />19802/CDBG/CDBG Grant # 19DB-ON-10-40-01-H03. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: <br />1. Approve the attached resolution authorizing the chairman to execute the DEO/Indian <br />River County CDBG contract and other documents required for Indian River County to <br />enter into the contract, and grant authority to the Community Development Director or his <br />designee to execute documents related to the administration of the CDBG; and <br />2.
