Please select one of the following options. For additional information on these options, please call Kathy Tremper at (206) 205 -6431. Check one: Option 1: Participation in a larger competitive pool of funds. The city, as well as local nonprofit agencies serving its residents, may compete for capital dollars as well as public (human) services dollars, through the larger County and Small Cities Fund. In addition, the cities' residents will be able to apply for housing repair assistance through the County and Small City's well funded housing repair program. The city would have no responsibilities, unless it undertakes to submit an application for a city project. Option 2: Accepting a "Pass- through The city would designate specific CDBG eligible projects totaling $261,819 (the estimated Pass through amount). In this case, the city and its local nonprofit agencies would not be eligible to apply for additional funds through the County and Small Cities Fund. The city certifies the following: We accept the responsibilities of planning and allocating these dollars in accordance with the Consortium's schedule for submission to the US Department of Housing and Community Development, and in accordance with the Consortium's Citizen Participation Plan. We understand it is advisable to adopt a contingency plan in case actual funds available fall short of projections. We understand that, due to federally- imposed caps, we may or may not be able to use a portion of these dollars to defray our costs of planning and coordinating a local program in any one year. For this coming year, we understand that we may use no more than $$20,258 for planning and coordinating our local program.' We would like to request additional planning ceiling of if it becomes available. We understand that due to federally imposed caps we may allocate no more than $30,724 for public (human) service projects this coming year, and that $10,000 is the human service project size minimum 9,296 for Lake Forest Park). Our city would like to set aside $63,637 of our pass through dollars for housing repair for our residents in this coming year. We understand that an individual housing repair may cost as much as $20,000 and that our residents will not be able to access the larger housing repair program of the County and Small Cities Fund. We also understand that 15% of the funds we set aside will be used for housing repair program delivery costs (such as construction management). We understand there is a $50,000 minimum for capital projects with allocations of $100,000 or more encouraged. Q k� Signature of Mayor or City Manag'r 01(1P10. Printed Name and Title 2005 CDBG Certification Form REV 1 '1-'7- 04- Date JUL 1 s 2004 Page 1 of 1 In some years one or more cities may choose not to use any of their funds for planning and administration, meaning there is additional cap available for other cities to use. This is rare. Please contact Kathy Tremper at (206) 205 -6431 if you would like to know how if there is additional cap this year, and how to access it. 2 The minimum CDBG contract amounts for human service contracts and similar client- oriented contracts such as minor home repair shall be $10,000. Capital contracts less than $50,000 shall be discouraged but not disallowed. In particular: Jurisdictions are encouraged to jointly fund certain sub regional projects to reach $50,000 or more. Pass through Cities that receive small Pass through amounts will usually need to fund a project at a lower level, including a human service project, and this will be allowed. A lower level of funding must be allowed for A &E projects that represent the first phase of a larger capital project. Pass through Cities may make any size contributions to housing projects (housing projects will be presumed to receive other federal funds from the Consortium and result in a single large contract). 2005 CDBG Certification Form REV 1 Page 2 of 2
