MEETING DATE: October 5, 2005 AGENDA ITEM:
ORIGINATING DEPT.: Community Development CITY MANAGER:
PREPARED BY: Therese M. Schmidt DEPT. HEAD:
John Livingstone
SUBJECT: FY 2005 – 2006 CDBG County/City Contract
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a $427,402.28 contract with
Santa Clara County for the FY 2005-2006 CDBG Program.
BACKGROUND:
On March 16, 2005, the City Council authorized the submittal of six FY 2004-2005 CDBG
funded projects totaling $156,491.00. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the County requests
that cities receiving funds through the “Urban County Program” enter into a contract regarding
the receipt and expenditure of these funds. The contract establishes the recipient cities’
responsibilities and identifies new programs to be funded as well as identifying on-going
programs and any “carry-over” of prior year’s CDBG funds.
There is always a delay in approving the new County/City contract as the County Counsel and
each participating City Attorney review the contract in early fall. In addition, the program year
does not officially closeout until mid-summer when the County and each city determine what
carry-over funds are available for each project. This contract is similar in content to prior
County/City Contracts, which have been reviewed by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the City signs the County/City CDBG Contract, then the City becomes eligible to receive a
new allocation of $156,491.00 in CDBG funds. In addition, the City will have access to
unexpended funds in the amount of $270,911.28 from prior fiscal years for eligible FY 2005-
2006 CDBG activities.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
If the City does not sign the County/City Contract, this would jeopardize the City’s receipt of FY
2005-2006 CDBG funds as well as carry-over CDBG funds. In addition, without the new CDBG
funds, the City may have to fund previously approved CDBG activities with General Funds.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
Forward four signed copies of the County/City contract to Santa Clara County.
