RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Community Housing Development Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $169,181, to administer and disburse City and County approved mitigation fees funding to non-profit entities for community-based projects in the North Richmond area, for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no impact to the General Fund. The contract with Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC), is an amount not to exceed $169,180.85. The work performed under this contract is funded using North Richmond Mitigation Fee (NRMF) funding that is jointly administered by both the City of Richmond and County.

BACKGROUND:

On June 26, 2018, the County Board of Supervisors approved a 2018/2019 North Richmond Mitigation Fee (NRMF) Expenditure Plan, which was subsequently approved by the Richmond City Council in early July 2018. The Expenditure Plan allocates a total of $172,180.85 within Strategy 9 for the administration and disbursement of funding to six (6) entities to complete seven (7) Community-Based Projects. The organizations awarded funding are based on a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation process conducted in early 2017.

Pursuant to Strategy 9, the 2018/2019 NRMF Expenditure Plan allocates up to $135,344.69 for disbursement to six (6) entities for seven (7) projects, up to $3,000 for County administration (County staff time not part of this contract), and up to $33,836.17 for CHDC to assist the County with the administration and disbursement of funds to selected non-profit entities. This contract would authorize CHDC to be paid up to $169,180.85 to implement Strategy 9, including $135,344.69 to be disbursed to six (6) organizations awarded funding for a total of seven (7) projects and $33,836.17 to cover CHDC's costs to assist the County with the administration of disbursements.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The NRMF funding allocations approved by the County and City of Richmond could not be used as intended to pay the six (6) designated non-profit organizations or CHDC for the implementation of the selected Community Based Projects that would help address illegal dumping and blight in the North Richmond community.
