the roll-over of $15,743 and $23,370 in unexpended 24`h Year CDBG Program funds previously

BACKGROUND:
In April of 1998, through Resolution No. 98-402.1, the City Commission allocated $60,000 and
$100,000 in 24`h Year CDBG Program funds to Model Housing Cooperative, Inc. and Word of
Life Community Development Corporation, respectfully, for the purpose of undertaking housing
development activities in the City. The 24`h Year CDBG contract between the City and each of
the aforementioned organizations expired September 30, 1999, which prohibited the
organizations from accessing the unexpended balances remaining under each contract.
At the December 14, 1999 City Commission meeting, the City Commission directed the
Administration to prepare legislation which would allow for the carry-over of unexpended 24`h
Year CDBG funds remaining from both organizations' prior contracts. The attached resolution
authorizes the carry-over of $15,743 in unexpended 24`h Year CDBG Program funds previously
allocated to Model Housing Cooperative, Inc. and $23,370 to Word of Life Community
Development Corporation. These funds will be utilized to assist both organizations in carrying -
out land acquisition and/or housing development activities in the City. The attached resolution
further authorizes the City Manager to enter into individual agreements with the aforementioned
organizations in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
In keeping with the City's goal to facilitate the development of 1,000 new homeownership units
in the City annually over the next five (5) years, the Department of Community Development
