TITLE

The Mayor and City Council shall discuss and possibly take action on approving a 5-month extension to the existing grant agreement with Arizona Department of Housing for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Heritage District Demolition project.  Discussion and Action.

 

AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION

On August 31, 2016, the City of Maricopa was granted the CDBG Regional Allocation of $264,835 for the Heritage Demolition project.  The Heritage District project focused on clearing properties within the District to enable redevelopment.   The City of Maricopa requested a five (5) month extension to the grant agreement due to a prolonged duration to receive signed Right of Entry forms from homeowners and an extended negotiation period with the Asbestos contractor.  The next step in the process is procurement of contractors for removal and demolition of structures on the properties.  The accepted project completion date is July 31, 2018.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

The Interim City Manager, Trisha Sorensen, recommends the Mayor and City Council accept grant extension through the Arizona Department of Housing, which grants the City of Maricopa a five (5) month extension period with a target completion date of July 31, 2018.
