r ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: September 3, 2002 Action Agenda Item No. �A SUBJECT: Amendment to HUD Cooperative Agreement for FFY 2002 DEPARTMENT: Human Rights and Relations PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Annette Moore, ext. 2254 Cover Letter from HUD TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968.4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To approve an Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement Between Orange County and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)for the Partnership Initiative FY 2002. BACKGROUND: On August 20, 2002, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Cooperative Agreement between the County and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for services to be performed in FFY 2002 in the amount of$49,700. HUD proposes that the Department receive an additional $20,000 in Partnership Initiative Funds for the specific purpose of"obtaining services or conduct activities inside and outside of the agency that affirmatively furthers the implementation and scope of the Agency's fair housing law." During FFY 2001, the Department received Partnership Initiative Funds in the amount of $25,000 to conduct a fair housing audit, the results of which will be released this fall. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This reflects funds that were not anticipated during the formulation of the Human Rights and Relations Department budget this past spring. Should the Commissioners approve the receipt of these additional funds, a corresponding budget amendment will be prepared for Board approval at its September 17, 2002 meeting. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement.
