Requesting authorization to extend agreement with Mujeres Unidas/Women Together-ESG Surplus Funds until Sept. 30, 2009. The agreement terminated June 30, 2009.

UCP is requesting authorization to amend the agreement between Mujeres Unidas/Women Together and the Hidalgo County ESG Surplus Funds Program until Sept. 30, 2009. HUD had requested that the Hidalgo County-Urban County expend surplus funds that had not been recaptured from prior years. The agreement had been presented and approved by Commissioners’ Court on March 17, 2009 with a deadline of June 30, 2009. The allotted time for expenditure of these funds was not sufficient; therefore, we are requesting an extension of the agreement from June 30, 2009 until Sept. 30, 2009.

The grant awarded to Mujeres Unidas/Women Together in the amount of $ 75,000.00 will not change.
