BUDGET AMENDMENT: (Y/N) <"£Y ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Consortium Agreement Amendment Tara Fikes TELEPHONE NUMBERS: - -ext. 2490 Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 227-2031 PURPOSE: To authorize the execution of an amendment to the HOME Consortium Agreement for the period July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000. 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 as 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. The County was notified that the Agreement was expiring a new Agreement was necessary to continue to be eligible for HOME Program funding. A new Consortium Agreement was developed and approved by all elected bodies and submitted to HUD for their review and approval. HUD has since indicated that some minor revisions need to be made in order to the document prior to final approval. The reasons for the changes are indicated below and the necessary changes are in bold type in the amendment document. 1. The agreement must specify the exact dates of the term of the Agreement. The dates of the Agreement will change since HUD now states the term should begin July 1, 1997 instead of July 1, 1996 as they had originally stated. 2. The citation in Section III, Paragraph D was incorrect. 3. The Agreement must state that each member of the Consortium agrees to the certifications contained in Paragraph S. The document now says that the Consortium agrees to these certifications.
