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. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 2.
