On January 23, 2007 the Board adopted Resolution No. 012-2007 authorizing submittal of the $500,000 EDBG Microenterprise application to HCD and approving a General Fund contribution of $3,500 to meet match requirements. The $3,500 required match will be met with a portion of the FY 2007/08 Community Services General Fund Contribution budgeted for this purpose.
Reason for Recommendation:
On January 23, 2007 the Board adopted Resolution No. 012-2007 authorizing submittal of an application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for an Economic Development Block Grant (EDBG) in the amount of $500,000 to continue to provide the activities of Microenterprise Assistance and Business Loans and further authorized the Director of Human Services to execute the Standard Agreement contingent upon approval by County Counsel and Risk Management. HCD subsequently awarded the grant to El Dorado County on May 21, 2007. County Counsel and Risk Management approved execution of Standard Agreement #06-EDBG-2767 on August 30, 2007. A budget must be established at this time to commence implementation of grant activities.
