body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Debra May
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Lacey Harper 6/5/23
PURPOSE: Approve a motion to amend the 2019 Annual Action Plan.
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County is the representative member of the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium (Consortium) for purposes of application, receipt, and administration of federal grant funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act made available $5 billion in supplemental Community Development Block Grant - Coronavirus funds (CDBG-CV) funds nationally. The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated $4,925,992 to Snohomish County Consortium, consisting of $1,830,114 in CDBG-CV1 and $3,095,878 in CDBG-CV3 funds.
Pursuant to Motion No. 21-166, approved May 19, 2021, and Motion 21-151, approved July 28, 2021, Snohomish County Council approved substantial amendments to the 2019 Annual Action Plan to award CDBG-CV1 & CV3 funds for public service projects, public facilities and infrastructure projects, an economic development project, and for planning and administration.
Some of the projects funded with CDBG-CV1 & CV3 were not able to move forward or could not expend the funds by the deadline, resulting in $1,920,428 that needs to be reallocated.
On December 5, 2022, the Policy Advisory Board (PAB) approved reallocating $1,920,428 in CDBG-CV1 & CV3 funds to public facility and Infrastructure projects through a Notice of Funding Opportunity, which was published on January 19, 2023. Two applications were received requesting a total of $298,380 in CDBG CV1 & CV3 funding.
Public Review and Comment:
On March 10, 2023, the PAB recommended funding two public facility & infrastructure projects and an allocation to the contingency fund. Through a substantial amendment to the 2019 Annual Action Plan, the funding recommendations underwent a required 30-day public review and comment period which closed on May 18, 2023. No comments were received.
CDBG-CV1 and CV3 Proposed Allocations:
