Participating jurisdictions can identify their preferences for projects to be funded with HOME funds; however, there is a 25 percent match of non-Federal funds for this activity. In addition, the County will allow the City to enter into a subrecipient agreement which will enable the City to administer its own HOME funds. This will allow us to take a more active role identifying what we want or need. Mr. Gil moved to continue the cooperation agreement with San Bernardino County for the purpose of participating as a Consortium with other general local governments for the purpose of receiving and administering HOME funds. Motion seconded by Mrs. Banda and carried unanimously. (Also see City Council minutes for July 16, 1996.) NEW BUSINESS Set-Aside Funds - Redlands Affordable Housing Organization - Administrative Services Director Pettus reported that on July 11, 1996, the Housing Commission voted 5-1 to deny the request submitted by Redlands Affordable Housing Organization (RANO) in the amount of $113,623.00 for the purchase and renovation of a HUD "repo" property as they felt the costs requested were too excessive for one dwelling, and that more leveraging was needed by the RAHO organization. On behalf of RANO, Cheryl Weaver and Al Diaz distributed a statement of clarification and indicated they are requesting a $40,000.00 loan and $73,000.00 grant for this project. They did acknowledge they have not yet received HUD certification but that the application has been submitted. Board members discussed this project at length indicating conceptual support for their efforts. Mr. Gil moved to direct representative of RAHO, staff, and himself to meet to work out a solution. Motion seconded by Mrs. Banda and carried unanimously. Set-Aside Funds - Steve and Aggie Morse - Administrative Services Director Pettus reported that Steve and Aggie Morse, owners of a four-plex property located at 200 Craig Court, are requesting set-aside funds to rehabilitate their property. Currently, Mr. Morse is upgrading the units in stages after having purchased this property as a bank "repo." On May 9, 1996, the Housing Commission reviewed this request and voted to recommend an allocation of up to $40,000.00. Based on the understanding the figures presented by Mr. and Mrs. Morse are conceptual and that the cost will be fine-tuned based on actual bids, Mr. Gil moved to allocate up to $25,000.00 of Redevelopment Agency set-aside funds for the rehabilitation of the property at 200 Craig Court. Motion seconded by Mr. Larson and carried with Mr. Cunningham voting NO.
