Title

Joint resolution approving Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between Lake County and approved sub-recipients of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

 

Staff Summary

•                     United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under 24 CFR 570.200(h) permits CDBG grantees such as Lake County to allow its CDBG sub-recipients to begin spending on CDBG projects prior to receipt by Lake County of its CDBG award. The Lake County Board has approved such MOUs in the past, with sub-recipients traditionally willing to take the additional risk.

•                     The sub-recipients proposed for a 2019 MOU are as follows: A Safe Place, Arden Shore Children & Family Services, City of North Chicago, City of Round Lake Beach, DeBruler Company, Glenkirk, Highland Park Community Nursery.

•                     Each of these entities seek to start an approved CDBG-funded project (or in the cases of A Safe Place, City of North Chicago and DeBruler Company, two projects) in advance of Lake County’s receipt of a 2019 Grant Agreement.

•                     The proposed MOUs will put these sub-recipients on notice that the risk of incurring pre-award costs is borne by the sub-recipient and that such risks include both reimbursement of these expenses is completely dependent on the CDBG 2019 grant award provided by HUD and a potential outcome where no CDBG funds are awarded to it.
