"CDBG Program");
C. To implement the policies, object ives and otht>r pro vision of the Act, HUD has iss ued rules
and regulations governing the conduct of CD BG programs, publi shed in 24 Code of Federal
Regulations (CF R), Part 570 (the "Regulations"), which regulations provide that a cou nty
may qualify as an "urba n cou nt y," as defined in Sec ti on 570 .3 of the regulation s, and thereby
become elig ibl e to receive entitl emen t gra ms from HUD for the co nducl ofCDBG :rnd Home

authorizing th e exec uti on of a thre e-yea r Int ergovernmen tal Cooperation Agr ee men t betwe en
Arapahoe Coun ty and th e City of Engl ewood relating to th e conduct of Co mmunity D eve lup~1rnt
Block Grant (C DB G) and HOME hr,estment Partn ership (HOME) programs for progra m grant yea rs
2007 th ro ugh 2009 .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Arapah oe County is d es ignated as an Urban County, w hich entitl es th e County to receive
Community Development Bloc k Gra nt (C DBG) ,1nd HOM E funds provided by th e U.S.
D epartment oi Ho usin g and Urban D eve lopmen t (H U D). Th ese p rogr,1 111s provi de g rants to
improve local co mmuniti es by providing dece nt housing, im proved infras tr ucture, pub li c fac iliti es
and se rvices, and improv ed eco nomic oppor tuniti es fo r low and moderate income persons . Funds
may also be used for activiti es th at eliminate slums o r blight, or fo r projects th at mee t urgent
-::ommunity nee ds.
Arapah oe County is in th e process of requa li fyi ng as an Urban County fo r th e yea rs 2007, 2008 and
2009. Th e County is req uired to in form eac h unit of general local gc,vernment th at it has th e right
to elec t to be incl ud ed or excl uded from th e U rban County. Local governmen ts that previousl y
ent ered int o an Intergovernmental Agreement w ith A rapahoe Co un ty are b ei ng no tifi ed that th e
agreemen t w ill not automaticall y b e renewed. A new IGA must be auth o rized to participate for
program grant years 2007 • 2009 .
Arapahoe County states that they have updated th e IGA to Include language previously •
incorporated in ame r 1'llents and removed language no longer approved by HUD . They state that
the agreement is esser..ially the same as before .
CDBG and l-'8ME funds are allocated by statutory forr: Jla lo each Urban County. The Urban
County then allocates the CDBG funds to each participating jurisdiction. The local jurisdiction still
must apply annually for Its share of fund ing. Any HOME funds awarded 10 Arapahoe County are
nol automatically shared by the parliclpaling jurisdictions. The City is eligible, however, to apply
separately for HOME funds thr oug h Arapahoe County as we ll as the Stale of Colorado.
Since 1992, the City of Englewood has re ceived approximately $2 .8 million in combined CDBG
and HOME funds from Arapahoe County lo support its local projects . This averages over S 185,000
per yea r. The authorization of this IGA will allO\, the City to receive its share of the FY 2007 -
2009 CDBG funds as well as being able to apply for HOME funds thr ough Arapahoe County. The
funds will allow for the continua lion of eligible proje cts such as the Hou sing Rehabil itation Program .
Hom eow ner Fix-Up proj ec t and support for the House of Hope .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None . The existing employees in Community Development are avai labl e 10 administer this
agreement and any future approved projects. Their salaries and benefits are part of the City 's
contribution toward th ose projec ts . The City will generally utilize a portion of th e awarded CDBG
and HOME funds 10 partially offset the costs of employee 's salaries and benefits.
