RE: Approval of an agreement between Genesee County and Mt. Morris Township to allow for a contract extension and fund transfer for CDBG eligible activities
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff is recommending approval of a contract extension and fund transfer request from Mt. Morris Township’s 2025 Infrastructure Improvements project to its 2025 Code Enforcement project and requesting Genesee County Board Chairperson, Dale K. Weighill, to sign the contract amendment. Staff is also requesting approval to amend the Purchase Order for the project accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
Mt. Morris Township is requesting to transfer $17,411.41 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from its completed 2025 Infrastructure Improvements project to its 2025 Code Enforcement project. The Infrastructure Improvements project, which was used to resurface a section of McAlpine Drive, was completed with funds remaining.
The transferred funds would be used to reimburse eligible Code Enforcement expenses incurred during the current contract period. The transfer would increase the Code Enforcement project budget from $20,677.00 to $38,088.41. The expenses include eligible activities such as inspections, enforcement, related staff wages, and property abatement.
Staff also recommends extending the Code Enforcement contract from September 30, 2026, through November 30, 2026. This will allow sufficient time to complete the fund transfer and process reimbursement for the eligible expenses already incurred.
DISCUSSION:
The requested transfer is shown below.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
No impact on Human Resources.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
HUD grant funds, no impact on general funds.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
No impact on facilities.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
No impact on indirect costs.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
To meet Genesee County’s priority of healthy, livable, and safe communities, Community Development Block Grant funds can be used for activities that improve the safety and livability of low- and moderate-income communities, including eligible Code Enforcement activities.
