Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: On August 25, 2009 the Board adopted Resolution No. 197-2009 authorizing submittal of the $300,000 EDBG Microenterprise application to HCD and approving a General Fund contribution of $2,000 to meet match requirements. The $2,000 required match will be met with a portion of the Human Service Department's Housing Element General Fund budgeted for this purpose.
Reason for Recommendation:
On August 25, 2009 the Board adopted Resolution No. 197-2009 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 $300,000 to continue to provide the activities of Microenterprise Assistance and Business Loans, approving a $2,000 required match, and further authorized the Director of Human Services to execute the Standard Agreement contingent upon approval by County Counsel and Risk Management. On November 30, 2009 HCD notified El Dorado County that it had not accumulated sufficient scoring points to secure funding. Subsequently, when additional EDBG funds became available, HCD awarded the grant to El Dorado County on May 19, 2010. County Counsel and Risk Management approved execution of Standard Agreement #09-EDEF-6547 on September 16, 2010. Human Services executed the grant agreement on September 22, 2010, HCD executed the grant agreement on September 28, 2010, and HCD accepted the 90-day Conditions on December 29, 2010. This grant was not anticipated in the Department's adopted budget therefore a budget transfer is required at this time to appropriate the funds and commence implementation of grant activities.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Chairman to sign the attached Budget Transfer.
Board Clerk's Office to forward Budget Transfer to Auditor-Controller's Office for posting.
Contact: Daniel Nielson, 642-7275
Concurrences: County Counsel and Risk Management approved Agreement #06-EDBG-2767 for execution.
