Item Summary:
On March 14, 2011, the Mayor and City Council approved not renewing the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Cooperation Agreement with Fulton County for the years 2012-2014. The City of Roswell participates in a three-year Urban County Cooperation Agreement with Fulton County for operation of the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership programs. This Cooperation Agreement expires on December 31, 2011.
Following review of options for administration of future CDBG and HOME program funds, staff recommends participation in the Georgia Urban County HOME Consortium (GUCC) for the 2012-2014 program period. A requirement of the GUCC is that each local government member approve a resolution of participation prior to the three-year agreement. Approval of this resolution will allow the City of Roswell to participate in the GUCC, which is administered by WFN Consulting for the Lead Entity, Cobb County.
