Title
Project Delivery Expenses
Staff Summary
• The HCDC has previously determined that grant funds can be used to cover required County costs for environmental reviews and inspections (“project delivery”). This determination was implemented for 2015 and 2016 grant-funded activities, but a large backlog of 2013 housing and 2014 public infrastructure and housing projects require allocation of previously unspent funds and/or program income to cover project delivery costs. These project delivery costs are budgeted at $2k per project or house.
• Staff seeks permission to increase the 2013 and 2014 budgets of the attached list of open grant-funded activities to cover the costs of environmental reviews and inspections. Such budget increases are not substantial, so do not require a substantial amendment of the 2013 and 2014 Action Plans.
