Title
TERMINATE OR REVIEW AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH MDG ASSOCIATES, INC. TO PROVIDE CDBG GRANT-FUNDED PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION SERVICES (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
This item was continued from the May 7 City Council meeting.
This item was considered at a Special City Council Meeting held on April 26, 2019. At the meeting, the City Council voted 3-0 (MPT Hicks, Councilmember Davis-Holmes, Councilmember Dear) to approve Recommendation No. 2, which was to "DIRECT staff to prepare an Amendment to the Agreement on other terms." The direction was to amend the Agreement to increase the contract by $32,300 for one year (ending June 30, 2020) to allow for the increased technical/administrative support by the contractor to the CDBG program, but not extend the additional funding for the remaining years of the contract.
The recommendation in this case would be the same, and to affirm the amendment already approved on April 26.
In addition, the City Council directed staff to return by the second meeting in September for a comprehensive report on the Housing Division/CDBG program that discussed staffing levels and the General Fund share of salaries, whether to refill the Senior Administrative Specialist position, the CDBG program and projects supported by the current staffing levels, and the projected future of the CDBG program in Carson and nationally. As Amendment No. 1 was approved on April 2, 2019 and executed shortly thereafter, work has already been performed as authorized by that amendment, will be invoiced under the funds authorized by that amendment and should be duly considered as part of any action moving forward.
Below is the staff report from April 26 (and subsequently, May 7) in its entirety:
