Item Nos. 14 & 15 memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council John Godwin, City Manager FROM: Carla Easton, City Engineer SUBJECT: REQUIRED CDBG DOCUMENTS DATE: December 6, 2016 BACKGROUND: As part of applying for grant funds through the Texas Capital Fund Program, the City is required to have current, in -place versions of several state - mandated documents. Without these documents we will be ineligible to receive certain state and federal grant funding. STATUS OF ISSUE: In order not to have to take new council action every time we request funding for TxCDBG projects, we have prepared general procedures and resolutions that will cover the city for all such grant requests. However, the grant requires that previously passed resolutions be reaffirmed with each project. The documents required by the state and federal governments passed earlier this year include: • A 10 13 — Citizen Participation Plan • A1002 — Section 3 • A1004 — Section 504 • A 10 15 — Fair Housing Activity • A1005 — Civil Rights Publications • A 100 8 — Civil Rights Officer Designation This resolution will reaffirm the civil rights policies listed above, and add the Conflict of Interest Policy, a Code of Conduct, and a Fair Housing Policy required by the grant. In addition to these policies, the grant also requires a Resolution Designating Authorized Signatories for Contractual Documents. BUDGET: NA RECOMMENDATION: Adopt all referenced and attached mandated documents.
