Title
Authorizing the carry-over of CDBG, HOME and other funds, and the extension of previously authorized projects within the CDBG program budget.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The CDBG Commission has traditionally identified certain projects for Council approval to “carry-over” their funds approved in previous years. Typically, the Commission has recommended carry-over of selected capital projects that have encountered some difficulty beyond their control or which face unusual circumstances. The CD Office normally continues those projects that have been approved by the Council since April, or capital projects that have entered into subcontracts for implementation by December 15 of each year.
ACTIONS:
WHEREAS, the Community Development Block Grant Program, as amended, and its implementing regulations located at 24 CFR 570.200 ff., permit the City of Madison to help community agencies which benefit low and moderate income persons; and
WHEREAS, the CDBG Commission and CD staff have reviewed these recommendations, find that they further the goals of the CD program expressed in the Five-Year Community and Neighborhood Development Plan; and recommend Council adoption;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Common Council approves the carry-over of the following projects, to be completed by December 31, 2006, for the reasons identified:
w Emerson-Eken Park concentration neighborhood plan implementation project, including two neighborhood park improvement projects for a total of up to $17,001, because of delays in construction and the shift in excess funds from a completed project;
w South Madison/Bay Creek concentration neighborhood plan implementation project funds for projects to be identified in the plan, up to $152,400; due to an extended planning process for the overall neighborhood plan, and changes in the composition of the neighborhood planning committee;
w Wexford Neighborhood Center construction up to a total of $57,000, due to Center-School negotiations and fund-raising time-tables;
NOTE: The proposals describing the above projects and the CDBG Commission recommendation are available on file in the Council Office and in the CDBG Office. For the information of the Common Council, the following previously approved projects would be extended into the year 2006, because they were approved since April 2005, were approved for a longer term contract, are financed with special funding that carries a longer term commitment, or had committed capital funds through a subcontract to accomplish the project:
