Background and Discussion:

The Flood Control District has been awarded grants for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) - Disaster Recovery and Mitigation. The CDBG projects will increase the volume of work for the Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity in its Worker & Community Protection Division for Section 3 and DBRA wage rate compliance services, and in its Inclusive Procurement Division for MWBE pre-award and post-award compliance services. This inter-local agreement with the DEEO will provide a framework for funding these resources through the CDBG grant and managing an ongoing, collaborative working relationship.  This agreement will be amended each year based on anticipated needs.

 

Expected Impact:

The Flood Control District will have access to additional resources as needed to manage the grants.

 

Alternative Options:

The Flood Control District would need to hire additional staff.
