DEPARTMENT: Human Services

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved
PURPOSE: Executive signature to execute the ILA Amendment #2 with City of Brier.
BACKGROUND: The Human Services Department requests execution of an amendment to the amended UCC ILA with the City of Brier in order to have the city rejoin the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium designation with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

These grants support affordable housing, public Facilities and infrastructure, public services and emergency shelter and services and housing for low-income households and areas in Snohomish County.
Motion 99-238 Approved the Urban County Consortium and authorized the County Executive to approve and sign ILA's and Amendments with member Cities and Towns. The ILA was originally executed in 1999 with an amendment in 2014 and 2023. This is the second amendment (first one in 2014) for Brier.
