BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
In January 2024, Charlotte County initiated the process for Urban Qualification for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for FY2025-2027. The City of Punta Gorda opted to participate at their February 2024 meeting.
Following discussions with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Urban Qualification period is now set for 2026-2028, to begin on October 1, 2025, with the first round of funding available for disbursement on October 1, 2026. Notices to HUD of opt-in were adjusted accordingly, and an Interlocal Agreement was executed by the County and City in February 2025.
HUD’s review of the executed Interlocal Agreement resulted in a request for correction of an administrative error. The Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement corrects the administrative error and memorializes the correct timeline. If approved, the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement will be presented to Punta Gorda City Council for approval at their June 17, 2025 regular meeting and submitted to HUD immediately thereafter.
