Home My WebLink AboutResolution No. 4311, Amendmending Resolution 4282, HRDC Owner Occupied Home Rehab Program Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 4311 - AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 4282, ADDING APPROPRIATIONS FOR HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL’S OWNER OCCUPIED HOME REHABILITATION PROGRAM IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011. MEETING DATE: April 4, 2011 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Recommend Commission Approve Resolution No. 4311. BACKGROUND: On March 21, 2011, the Commission took public comment on providing a financial contribution from the Community Housing Fund to the Human Resource Development Council’s (HRDC) Owner Occupied Home Rehabilitation Program. They directed staff to prepare the necessary budget amendment to contribute $50,000 of Community Housing Fund – Workforce Housing dollars to the program. Currently HRDC offers the program outside the City Limits, with a local match provided by USDA-Rural Development. USDA-Rural Development money cannot be spent on this program inside the City Limits. The purpose of the City’s contribution would be to expand the program into the City of Bozeman. The City’s $50,000 would provide the local match for $500,000 or more in Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program dollars in order to rehabilitate existing housing stock for qualifying city residents. Attached are the details of the program, as submitted by the HRDC. The Resolution’s Section 3 requires HRDC to report to the City Clerk to show that the City funds have been utilized as intended, once all the projects have completed. This report will include: (1) a list of properties rehabilitated, (2) the amounts of Federal dollars, City dollars, and 5 any other funding sources used for each property, and (3) program costs for each property. The HRDC is agreeable to this requirement. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None ALTERNATIVES: 1. Do not provide these matching funds, or provide a different amount of matching funds, (not recommended.) 2. Provide matching funds from a different, unidentified source, (not recommended.) 3. Seek Federal HUD dollars on our own, without cooperation, coordination, or administration by HRDC, (not recommended.) FISCAL EFFECTS: This budget amendment will result in $50,000 of Community Housing funds being paid to HRDC. The resulting balance of mill-levy related Community Housing funds, after payment of our FY11 budget commitments and this amended appropriation, will be approximately $248,000. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
