Title
First Amendment to Agreement with Clackamas County for the Community Development Block Grant Program
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the amendment and that the City Manager be authorized to sign on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1978, Clackamas County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program has provided funding for a wide range of neighborhood and community improvement projects in cities and unincorporated areas throughout the County.
In 1993, the City of Oregon City entered into a three year Intergovernmental Agreement with Clackamas County. This agreement has allowed the City, in partnership with Clackamas County and other cities in the County, to apply for and receive federal CDBG funds.
Although the agreement contains an automatic renewal clause, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the County to offer cities the opportunity to “opt out” of the program every three years.
New this year is the requirement that the agreement be amended to include new language regarding transfer of federal funds for unrestricted funds. Please see the attached Amendment # 1.
