monthly meetings of the HOME Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), a committee comprised of representatives of all jurisdictions in the Consortium which reviews funding proposals and provides recommendations on policies and spending priorities. The term of the agreement would be three years (2018, 2019, and 2020, or through 6/30/2020), the minimum period allowed by HUD. As with the prior agreement, the renewed agreement would authorize the City Manager to take all necessary administrative actions to carry out the City's participation in the HOME Consortium during the next three years. Specific decisions regarding the use of HOME funds would still be subject to review and approval by the Housing Commission and City Council. In addition to making the City eligible to receive HOME funds, one of the continued benefits of the City's participation in the HOME Consortium is the partial fulfillment of the City's obligation under HUD's Consolidated Plan strategy. Since the 1990's, the City has participated jointly with the Consortium to submit the five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan to HUD. These detailed documents are required for both the HOME and CDBG programs. Participation in the Consortium promotes coordination of housing and community development efforts throughout the County and also reduces the administrative burden on individual jurisdictions by allowing the submittal of consolidated planning and reporting documents to HUD. Staff recommends that Council approve the renewal of the attached cooperative agreement with Alameda County by taking the action listed in the summary.
