Agenda Item 11 a I Subject: Amendment to an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between the City and Arapahoe County STAFF SOURCE: Janet Grimmett, Housing Finance Specialist COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION Council initially passed Ordinance No. 37, Series of 1991 , authorizing the participation in the Arapahoe County Urban County Entitlement Program for the Community Development Block Grant Program for federal fiscal years 1992 -1994. Council has also passed successive ordinances and amendments relating to the continuing participation with Arapahoe County . Council recently passes Ordinance No. 13 , Series of 2006, authorizing the participation with Arapahoe County in the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Programs for Program Grant Years 2007 through 2009. RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve a Bill for an Ordinance authorizing the execution of Amendment No. One to the Intergovernm ental Cooperation Agreement between Arapahoe County and the City of Englewood relating to the conduct of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Programs for program grant years 2007 through 2009. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED Arapahoe County and local jurisdictions band together to meet the minimum threshold for the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designation of an Urban County. Earlier this year, council voted to renew the partnership agreement for the Urban County for purposes of participating in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs for program grant years 2007 -2009. HUD has requested an amendment to the cooµ•ra ·on agreement. Mandatory language relating to policies prohibiting undue force in civil 11 ghts demonstrations has been clarified and the agreement must be changed to include the specific phrasing required by HUD fo r Section 9. No other sections of the IGA are being changed . Since 1992, the City of Englewood has received approximately $2 .8 million In combined • CDBG and HOME funds from Arapahoe County to support Its local projects . This averages over $185,000 per year. The authorization of this amendment to the IGA will allow the City to receive Its share of the FY 2007 -2009 CDBG funds as well as being able to apply for HOME funds through Arapahoe County. The funds will allow for the continuation of eligible projects such as the Housing Rehabilitation Program, Homeowner Fix-Up project and support for the House of Hope . FINANCIAL IMPACT None . The existing emplor ees in Community Development are available to administer this agreement and any futu 1 P approved projects . Their salaries and benefits are part of the City's contribution towards those projects . The City will generally utilize a portion of the awarded CDBG and HOME funds to partially offset the costs of employee's salaries and benefits . LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Bill for an Ordinance . • •
