Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board approved Resolution No. 19-029 on February 5, 2019, authorizing the submittal of an application to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to receive CDBG Grant Funds. On May 5th, 2020, Item 4n, the original contract with West BDC was approved, however it had an incorrect reference to the CDBG agreement number.
Summary of Request:
On May 5, 2020, Planning and Building Services (PBS) entered into a contract with West Business Development to operate the County’s Microenterprise Technical Assistance Services Program for Grant No. 18-CDBG-12929. West Business Development was awarded the original contract by responding to the Request for Proposal. West Business Development has been the operator of the County’s Microenterprise Technical Assistance Program for several CDBG Grant cycles, including the 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2018. The additional funding reflects the increased amount for Financial and Technical Assistance from the State’s COVID funding, CV-1. This amendment will implement CDBG Cares Act Round 1 funds for the purpose of establishing a Microenterprise Technical and Financial Assistance program to help microenterprise businesses sustain themselves and pursue business activities during the COVID-19 period. This program is to provide financial assistance in the form of mini grants of up to $10,000 combined with technical assistance to ensure the funds are used in a way that meets the micro entrepreneur’s needs, program goals, and CDBG program requirements. West Business Development will be the program operator and will award grants to support micro businesses in need that meet CDBG COVID-19 Cares Act eligibility requirements.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the amendment agreement and provide direction to staff.
