title
Request for approval of the first amendment to an interlocal agreement with Harris County, with an additional appropriation in the amount of $100,000, for technical assistance, staff augmentation, and various services from the Department of Economic Equity & Opportunity (DEEO) to assist with Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery and Community Development Block Grant - Mitigation awarded to the Flood Control District (Agreement No. 2024-04, Countywide).
end
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 amendment to the inter-local agreement with the DEEO maintains the framework for funding these resources through the CDBG grants and managing an ongoing, collaborative working relationship. This agreement will be amended each year based on anticipated needs. Based on current availability of funding, an additional $100,000 is appropriated to the agreement in FY2025.
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.
