BACKGROUND: The 1974 Housing Act authorized the allocation of block grants to eligible applicant municipalities nationwide to be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate- income persons, subject to program regulations and eligibility criteria. Culver City participates in the CDBG program as a member of the Los Angeles Urban County Entitlement and, to date, has completed thirty-nine (39) application cycles. During this time the City has received approximately $12 million in CDBG funds. The program is administered by the Community Development Commission of the County of Los Angeles (County). DISCUSSION: CDBG funding is granted to the City pursuant to a Cooperation Agreement between the City and the County. The Cooperation Agreement outlines legal provisions and requirements by which the City is permitted to participate in the Urban County CDBG City of Culver City, California Agenda Item Report program. The previous Cooperation Agreement was executed in May 2005 and was subject to automatic renewal. The signatory requirements have recently changed, and the County is requesting that all participating organizations adopt a resolution approving participation in the CDBG program and authorizing a authorized designee to execute the Cooperation Agreement on behalf of the City. In accordance with the City’s standard procedures, the proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute the Cooperation Agreement.
