VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH VILLAGE MANAGER’S OFFICE TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council FROM: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager DATE: August 20, 2020 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Interlocal Agreement Renewal with Palm Beach County for Urban County Program for FY2021-2023. The Village has been a party to an Interlocal Agreement with Palm Beach County that enables the Village’s participation in the Urban County Program to access funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program, and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program. Village Staff recommends continued participation in this program as it assists in meeting the goals outlined in the Housing Element of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. Renewal of the Interlocal Agreement is required by August 25, 2020. Background: Since 1974, Palm Beach County has used the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program to help fund and develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate-income persons. Palm Beach County's Department of Housing and Community Development, in coordination with municipalities, non-profit agencies, and other service providers, has devised innovative approaches that have resulted in a wide range of community development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and providing improved community facilities and services. Some examples of CDBG-funded activities are the provision of public services to disabled persons, children, elderly persons, and the homeless; the implementation of capital improvement projects to help alleviate flooding in low-lying areas, provide potable water, sidewalks, and recreation facilities to lower income neighborhoods; and the provision of economic development assistance. CDBG funds have also been instrumental in implementing the Single Family Rehabilitation Program, operated by Housing & Community Development (HCD) Housing Rehabilitation Section, to rehabilitate eligible single-family owner occupied homes. Village Benefits: In participating in the CDBG program with the County, the Village lends its population count to allow greater pull of participants and increases the available funding for municipalities with a population count fewer than 50,000. Attached is the proposed Interlocal Cooperation Agreement, which authorizes the Village’s participation in the Palm Beach County Urban County Program. Council approval will ensure our participation with the County for a three-year period, beginning in FY2021. This will enable the Village and our residents to continue to access the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) program funds as a part of the Palm Beach County Entitlement Jurisdiction. These funds are generally targeted to benefit persons/families that are deemed to be low and moderate-income. Palm Beach County Housing and Community Development (HCD) manages the administration of the funds and ensures compliance with HUD guidelines. Activities eligible for funding include (among others):  Capital Improvements Projects  Economic Development Initiatives  Emergency repairs to housing  Housing Rehabilitation  Public Services  Homeless and homeless prevention activities  Mortgage Subsidies for First-Time Buyers An attached map indicates the location of low/moderate income areas within the Village. This section of the Village, in particular, could be eligible for funding assistance. Participation in the program could be extremely beneficial given the interest in redevelopment of the Twin City Mall site and the ability to access economic development incentives through the program. It should also be noted that inclusion in the Urban County Program does not preclude the Village from making future development decisions that are in the community’s best interest. Execution of the Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement, which includes additional language mandated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), allows for the Village’s continued participation in the program. The attached Resolution and Interlocal Agreement have been prepared and/or reviewed for legal sufficiency reviewed by the Village Attorney. Recommendation: Village Staff recommends Village Council adoption of the attached Resolution approving an Amendment to the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Palm Beach County for participation in the Urban County Program and authorizing the Mayor and Village Clerk to execute the Agreement in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have the common power to perform Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program activities within their jurisdictions, said common powers being pursuant to Section 125.01, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes; and WHEREAS, Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, known as the "Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act" authorizes local governments to make the most efficient use of their powers by enabling them to cooperate with other localities on a basis of mutual advantage and thereby to provide services and facilities that will harmonize geographic, economic, population and other factors influencing the needs and development of local communities; and WHEREAS, Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, mandates that a county must enter into interlocal cooperation agreements with municipalities in its jurisdiction for the purposes of implementing CDBG activities within said municipalities; and WHEREAS, such interlocal cooperation agreements are also required to implement the HOME Program under Title II of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, and the ESG Program under the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act); and WHEREAS, the County desires to join with the Municipality in order to carry out the planning and professional services necessary to implement the CDBG, ESG and HOME Programs during Federal Fiscal Years 2015, 2016 and 2017, and during subsequent Federal Fiscal Years; and WHEREAS, the County and the Municipality agree to cooperate to undertake or assist in undertaking community renewal and lower income housing assistance activities; and WHEREAS, the County and Municipality wish to cooperate in the implementation of the goals and objectives of the County's Consolidated Plan, as approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and WHEREAS, the Municipality desires to cooperate with the County for the purpose of implementing the CDBG, ESG and HOME Programs; and WHEREAS, the governing bodies of the County and the Municipality have each authorized this Agreement.

This Agreement shall remain in effect until the CDBG, ESG and HOME funds and program income Village of North Palm Beach received (with respect to activities carried out during the Qualification Period and during any subsequent three -year qualification periods covered by any renewal of this Agreement) are expended and the funded activities are completed. Neither the Municipality nor the County may terminate, or withdraw from, this Agreement while it remains in effect. 2. This Agreement shall be automatically renewed for a three -year qualification period at the end of the Qualification Period and at the end of each subsequent qualification period unless either party provides the other party a written notice in which it elects not to participate in a new qualification period.

This, however, does not preclude the County or the Municipality from applying to the State of Florida for HOME Program funds if the State of Florida so allows. c) It may receive a formula allocation under the ESG Program only through the County. This, however, does not preclude the County or the Municipality from applying to the State of Florida for ESG Program funds if the State of Florida so allows. 5. This Agreement is contingent upon the County's qualification as an "urban county" under the CDBG Program as determined by HUD, as well as HUD's award of funds under the CDBG, ESG and HOME Programs. 6.
