SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE COOPERATION
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION, AND THE COUNTY OF PUEBLO RELATING TO THE
PARTICIPATION IN AND CONDUCT OF THE FEDERAL HOME INVESTMENT
PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM AND PROVIDING FOR THE EXECUTION
THEREOF
SUMMARY:
Amendment to the intergovernmental agreement between the City of Pueblo and the County of
Pueblo for a joint funding effort under the Federal HOME Investment Partnership Act Grant to
provide safe, sanitary housing, for low- and moderate-income families.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo and Pueblo County, since the inception of the federal HOME Program in 1992,
have operated under a Consortium agreement whereby the HOME funds have been shared on a
percentage basis. While the City of Pueblo is the Entitlement Community there have been mutual
benefits in continuing this administrative arrangement. The City as the Participating Jurisdiction
acts in a representative capacity, and therefore assumes overall responsibility for ensuring that
the Consortium’s HOME Program (City and County programs) is carried out in compliance with
the requirements of the HOME Program regulations, including requirements concerning a
Consolidated Plan. The City assumes this responsibility, and there is no cost to the County. This
amendment will correct an issue with regards to the program year date as requested by HUD.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
By entering into consortia, the City of Pueblo receives more funding than would be allocated to it
under the Entitlement Community Allocation Formula. The County receives HOME funding that
it would not otherwise be eligible to receive on a non-competitive basis. The funds are split on an
87/13 basis after set asides for administrative costs and funding of Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDO).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the program year date will be incorrect and U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development may not approve the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
ATTACHMENTS:
Amendment to the Consortium Agreement.
