~ ~ <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Alice G. Gordon, Chair <br />FROM: John M. Link, County Manager _ <br />RE: Addition to September 29, 199 BOCC Agenda <br />DATE: September 29, 1999 <br />Today, the Director of Human Rights and Relations, Annette Moore, informed me <br />that she had received notification from HUD on Monday, September 27, 1999.of a <br />Second Amendment to our HUD FFY'99 Cooperative Agreement. The Cooperative <br />Agreement allocates funding to the County for enforcement of fair housing in Orange <br />County. On September 29,.1999, as is our custom, Annette contacted HUD to inform <br />them that the BOCC could not act on this item until the next BOCC meeting, and. <br />requested an extension to October 6, 1999. The HUD representative denied the request <br />and indicated that the agreement had to be signed by September 30, 1999, or the County <br />would Iose $53,500. <br />The amendment is a continuation of our original agreement with HUD, signed in <br />1995, and does not change the original agreement. I am requesting that the item be <br />placed on the consent agenda tonight for the Board consideration, so the County does not <br />lose the .$53,000. I will send correspondence to HUD, this week outlining the time line <br />for approving contracts and I hope that this situation does not occur in the future.: <br /> <br />
