Information
Agenda Item Text:
Ratify the signature of Chairman Richard Searle to accept additional funding in the amount of $15,325 for the Fiscal Year 2016 Community Development Block Grant for the Children’s Haven Project.
Background:
The FY2016 Community Development Block Grant Application process was completed per Az. Dept of Housing and SEAGO requirements earlier this year. The Board adopted Resolution 16-08 on March 8, 2016 accepting the original funding in the amount of $231,778 for one project submitted through the public process.
Our original application, in the amount of $231,778 for the Children’s Haven was submitted in July and accepted by Az Dept. of Housing in August. On September 27, SEAGO notified us the Az Dept. of Housing received more funds in their Regional Account than anticipated, and increased our entitlement share by $15,325.00 which makes our total grant award $247,103.
Due to the increased funding, several grant forms in the application had to be revised to comply with Federal and State law and Form 1 required signature of the Chief Elected Official.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Application has been submitted with stamped signature. Submit grant award for BOS approval when it is issued by the Az Dept. of Housing by the end of this year. Complete Grant Approval Form, set up fund lines, proceed with contract award to complete the construction work over the two year time frame under the grant guidelines.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If this item is not ratified, the County will lose its entitlement share of funds for the CDBG FY2016 grant cycle and will not be eligible for funds for another three years when the next cycle rotates to our county. We cannot move forward with the environmental review clearance until the grant application is signed and accepted by the Az. Dept of Housing. The contract will not be awarded until that clearance is complete.
Also, the Children’s Haven, a place for abused and neglected children, will not have funding to make critical repairs to open the facility. There is no other location in the county that can house children on a short term basis that are in crisis.
