Officials review Community Development Block Grant procedures, shared-engineering agreement
Summary
County staff prepared a package of CDBG procedures, resolutions and a standard intergovernmental agreement to let the borough manage project compliance; county to appoint compliance officer and move forward on RFP steps.
Warren County staff said they have drafted processes, procedures and resolutions tied to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects and planned a separate resolution to adopt them formally.
Officials described a standard agreement used with municipalities that defines how a borough or municipality will handle CDBG requirements and project management. Staff said the county has an agreement with the borough of Burrow (described in the meeting as the "city of Burrow") to facilitate shared engineering services; the borough council was expected to consider approving that agreement the same night.
County staff said drafts also include appointment language for a compliance officer and other positions required for CDBG administration, and staff baked operational steps into the documents so a future administrator could follow them if officials were suddenly unavailable.
Participants said the next steps include confirming a date for the state to review the Hickory Street relocation (a separate facilities item discussed during the meeting) and finalizing the CDBG resolutions for the upcoming meeting.
No formal vote on the CDBG package was recorded in the meeting transcript provided.
