AGENDA ITEM 10 STAFF ORIGINATOR Randy Schumacher DATE December 16, 1994 TOPIC Consideration in extending the 1993-1994 CDBG Grant for Anoka County Community Action (ACCAP). The City appropriated $4,125.04 of the 1993-1994 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) dollars to ACCAP. These dollars were to be spent between July 1, 1993 through June 30 1994. In June of 1994, ACCAP asked for an extension of the June 30th deadline to December 1994. The extension was needed due to decreased funding of the 1994-1995 grant in which they were appropriated $500.00. ACCAP was granted an extension to December 31, 1994 with the understanding that all funds be spent by this date. The December 31, 1994 deadline is now approaching and ACCAP has estimated that they will have an estimated balance of $785.00 remaining at the end of December. ACCAP has asked for another extension to March 4, 1995. The County has been contacted on this issue. They informed the City that in early January, they will be sending out letters to cities informing cities that any remaining 1993-1994 balances will be redistributed to the county -wide rehab fund. The County suggested that ACCAP send the City a letter informing the City why the dollars have not been spent and what they plan on spending the funds on. The City can then inform ACCAP whether or not they will allow the extension. If the City allows the extension, the County would need to be notified so that the extension is considered by the County Board in January, 1995. It is possible that the Board can deny the extension. OPTIONS ................................... City to allow ACCAP another extension to March 9, 1995, with the understanding that the County Board can deny the extension. 2. City to disallow extension to ACCAP. The County will then redirect funds to the County -Wide Rehab Fund.
