committee comprised of representatives of all jurisdictions in the Consortium which <br /> reviews funding proposals and provides recommendations on policies and spending <br /> priorities. <br /> The term of the agreement would be three years (2012, 2013, and 2014, or through <br /> 6/30/2015), the minimum period allowed by HUD. As with the prior agreement, the <br /> renewed agreement would authorize the City Manager to take all necessary <br /> administrative actions to carry out the City's participation in the HOME Consortium <br /> during the next three years. Specific decisions regarding the use of HOME funds would <br /> still be subject to review and approval by the Housing Commission and City Council. <br /> In addition to making the City eligible to receive HOME funds, one of the continued <br /> benefits of the City's participation in the HOME Consortium is the partial fulfillment of the <br /> City's obligation under HUD's Consolidated Plan strategy. Since the 1990's, the City <br /> has participated jointly with the Consortium to submit the five-year Consolidated Plan <br /> and annual Action Plan to HUD. These detailed documents are required for both the <br /> HOME and CDBG programs. Participation in the Consortium promotes coordination of <br /> housing and community development efforts throughout the County and also reduces <br /> the administrative burden on individual jurisdictions by allowing the submittal of <br /> consolidated planning and reporting documents to HUD. <br /> Staff recommends that Council approve the renewal of the attached cooperative <br /> agreement with Alameda County by taking the action listed in the summary. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approve y: <br /> Steven Bocian Emily Wagner Nelson Fialho <br /> Assistant City Manager Finance Director City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
