Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the amendment of Ordinance 3026-2021, passed by City Council on December 6, 2022 in 2021, and the appropriation and expenditure of an additional $240,624.00 of the FY 2022 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Department of Development.
Ordinance 3026-2021 authorized the appropriation and expenditure of $400,000.00 of anticipated 2022 ESG grant funds and authorized the Director of Development to execute a subrecipient agreement with the Community Shelter Board (CSB). Following recent past practice, it was the department’s intent to modify this agreement to add additional funds after the city’s award amount from HUD was known. After discussion with CSB, it was decided to change from doing an original agreement and a modification, with the term starting January 1st, to a single agreement with the term starting June 1st.
This ordinance will authorize the appropriation and expenditure of the additional funds. The department will execute one subaward agreement with CSB using the funds appropriated under Ordinance 3026-2021 and this ordinance. The total subaward amount shall be $640,624.00.
This legislation represents a portion of the ESG portion of the 2022 Action Plan, per Ordinance 2800-2021. Passage of this ordinance is contingent upon passage of the 2022 Action Plan ordinance.
Emergency legislation is in order to continue housing crisis response initiatives without interruption.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this agreement in the amount of $240,624.000 is supported by the 2022 Emergency Solutions Grant (G442103) awarded to the City of Columbus by HUD. $400,000.00 is available on ACPO007321.
