TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Jeff McLaughlin, Neighborhood Redevelopment Manager
DATE: February 13, 2015
SUBJECT:
Resolution Authorizing an Amendment to a 2014 CDBG Subrecipient Agreement for Visiting Nurses Association Healthcare, Inc. (VNA), to Allow for the Completion of a Demonstration Kitchen and Classroom
PURPOSE:
In December of 2014, VNA requested an amendment under its 2014 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding agreement for the completion of a demonstration Kitchen and multi-purpose classroom (attached). Specifically, the VNA seeks to reallocate hard construction costs between line items, as some costs came in above, and some below, original budget estimates. The Amendment (also attached) reallocates $11,862.00 between construction cost line items, allowing for a complete pay-out on the project. This Amendment does not change the overall CDBG award for the kitchen/classroom project, which was $210,000.
BACKGROUND:
The Subrecipient Agreement for VNA was one of ten projects funded with a 2014 CDBG allocation that was approved by the City Council with Resolution R14-019 on 11 February 2014.
DISCUSSION:
The City's 2014 CDBG Subrecipient Agreements can only be amended with the consent of the City Council. This Amendment to a 2014 Subrecipient Agreement with VNA does not increase its budget allocation, but allows the Agency to complete the project.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There is no additional cost of staff impacts to this request.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council approve a Resolution authorizing the attached Amendment with VNA that reallocates project costs for a demonstration kitchen and multi-purpose classroom project and authorize the City's Neighborhood Redevelopment Manager to execute the Amendment and any required additional documents related to this approval.
