LOG NAME: 17REPAYMENT TO HUD
SUBJECT:
Authorize Payment of Up to $200,000.00 from the Rental Rehabilitation Program Fund to the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development to Close Findings Regarding the Use of Home Investment
Partnerships Program Grant Funds and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the payment of up to $200,000.00 from the Rental Rehabilitation Program Fund to the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development to close findings regarding the use of Home
Investment Partnerships Program grant funds; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Rental Rehabilitation Program Fund by $200,000.00 from program income currently available in the fund.
DISCUSSION:
The City has received HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant funds from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to rehabilitate or build new single or
multifamily residential units for low to moderate income individuals or families. In March of this year, the
City received an inquiry from HUD regarding 29 HOME - funded projects that had not had any activity for
more than 120 days. HUD required that these projects, which were funded from 2002 to 2007, be
completed and reported closed to HUD within 30 days. Staff requested additional time to investigate and
complete the projects.
Staff has completed and closed 10 of the projects and continues to work to complete and close the
remainder. However, because of lack of documentation that meets HOME program requirements, staff
recommends that City Council authorize repayment to HUD of up to $200,000.00 from Rental
Rehabilitation Program Funds Program income for any project that cannot be closed in compliance with
HUD regulation.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Rental Rehabilitation
Program Fund.
