TO: George Scarborough, City Manager
FROM: Thomas Tomlinson, Planning Director
SUBJECT: County of Orange 3 Year Participation Agreement:
Community Development Block Grant Program
By motion, adopt the attached resolution approving of the City's
continued participation in the Community Development Block Grant
Program through 1996.
SITUATION
A. Summary and Recommendation
It is recommended that the City renew their three year
agreement with the County of Orange for participation in the
Community Development Block Grant Program from 1994-1996.
B. Background
The 1974 Housing and Community Development Act authorizes
cities under 50,000 population to enter into cooperation
agreements with the County in which they are located for the
purpose of undertaking essential housing and community
development activities. This year the Federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is recertifying urban
counties for Community Development Block Grant funding. This
process authorizes the County of Orange to enter into 3 year
cooperation agreements with cities wishing to participate in
the Housing and Community Development Block Grant program.
The City has entered into cooperation agreements with the
County in the past. The present 3 year agreement expires on
July 31, 1994, however the County needs the signed agreement
and a signed resolution from the City Council by July 21,
1993. In order for the City to remain eligible for Urban
County CDBG monies for the next 3 year period (FY 1994-1996),
the existing agreement must be extended to the period ending
July 31, 1996. The extended agreement will allow the City to
participate in the yearly grant requests.
Attached is a resolution providing for approval of the City's
continued participation in the CDBG program with the County of
Orange.
