Adopt Resolution 16-08 selecting project(s) and authorizing the submission of application(s) for Fiscal Year 2016-17 State Community Development Block Grant Funds.
Background:
Cochise County is expected to receive approximately $214,600 in State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Arizona Department of Housing. One Public Hearing and one Work Session have been held to discuss eligible projects for the upcoming grant cycle. This Public Hearing is the final hearing for the Board to Adopt the Resolution required by the grant to submit a project(s) for funding. CDBG funds must be used to benefit low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight or address urgent need. Based on citizen input as well as local and state planning objectives, up to three of these potential projects may be selected to be forwarded to the State of Arizona with a request for funding. Nine projects are eligible for consideration. HUD/Az Dept. of Housing guidelines encourage funding one project fully to provide for a minimum five year life span. The grant provides for up to 18% administrative costs to oversee the projects which is approximately $30,000. It is not mandatory to accept admin costs to manage the grant. Admin costs can be rolled into the project funds at the Board’s discretion. The projects are not listed in order of priority. 1. Bowie Water District: Water system upgrade and repair. $214,600 2. Elfrida Library: Outdoor patio & ramada, benches, electricity, security system $30,000 3. Fry Fire District: New roof for Frytown station $35,000 4. Fry Fire District: Radios $46,900 5. Southern AZ.
