The <br />County will be compensated for administrative expenses at a rate of 10% of the total rehab <br />costs. All costs for rehab will be paid by Durham County. <br />The attached Inter-Local Agreement has been prepared for the review and approval of the <br />attorney for Durham and Orange County respectively. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County will receive administrative funds in the amount of 10% of the <br />total housing rehabilitation costs. An estimate of the total cost is not available at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION (Sj: The Manager recommends that the Board execute an Inter-Local <br />Agreement with the Durham County to complete administration of Durham County's Scattered <br />Site Housing Rehabilitation Program and authorize the Manager in consultation with the County <br />Attorney to enter into an Inter-Local Agreement detailing the program administration. <br />
