ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: August 17, 1999 SUBJECT: Orange County HOME Consortium Agreement Action Agenda Item No. ~-y,n DEPARTMENT: Housing/Community Dev. PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/1~ No ATTACHMENT(S): Resolution HOME Consortium Agreement INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara L. Fikes, ext. 2490 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 To adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of a HOME Consortium Agreement for the period July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2002. BACKGROUND: In August 1992, the Orange County HOME Consortium was formed by mutual consent of the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough and Orange County. The County is designated as lead entity and thus responsible for program administration. At that time, a Consortium Agreement was approved by the elected bodies of the member governments. A renewal agreement was executed in June 1996 and amended in September 1996 with a term of July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000 to cover-the federal fiscal years 1997, 1998, and 1999. On Tuesday, June 29; 1999, the Housing and Community Development Director was notified that a new Agreement was due on June 30, 1999. This came as a surprise since our agreement cleazly has an ending date of June 30, 2000. Upon further discussions with HUD staff it appears that their records and those of the Headquarters office list 1999 as the expiration date instead of the yeaz 2000. Thus, a new Agreement is necessary at this time in order to continue to participate in the HOME Investment Partnership Program. A new Agreement has been prepared which is in the exact form of the original Agreement approved on June 25, 1996 and a subsequent amendment approved by the BOCC on September 3, 1996 with only the term of the contract changed to July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2002. The Greensboro HUD Office has granted a submission deadline extension until August 18, 1999. This document must be approved and executed by all member governments prior to submission to HUD. The Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough have executed and approved the document.
