ISSUE STATEMENT: Annually, the City must execute a grant agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive CDBG entitlement funds. The City cannot execute an agreement with sub-recipients who have been allocated CDBG funds for the FY15/16 year until the City signs the grant agreement with HUD. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment 1: 2015 HUD Funding Approval/Agreement for CDBG funds DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City of Springfield’s FY15/16 CDBG entitlement award is $466,694. This motion would allow the City to execute the Agreement – and then subsequently execute agreements with program sub-recipients – as soon as the Agreement has completed the City’s typical internal review process. Staff has brought this item to Council now so that the Mayor may execute the agreement as soon as practical. Attachment 1 Page 1 of 3 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 3 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 3
