Commissioners hear explanation of HUD fee adjustment for Union County housing voucher administration
Summary
Deputy County Manager Amy Wagner told commissioners fees are set by HUD and the county must adjust its contract fees to cover a second year after an earlier resolution accounted for only one year.
Commissioner Granados asked the county to explain a resolution affecting administration fees for the county’s Section 8 housing voucher program during the agenda meeting.
Amy Wagner, deputy county manager in the Department of Economic Development, said the administration fees are set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. "When the resolution was done last year, it only accounted for the cost associated with 1 year instead of the 2 year term of the contract. So this just adjust[s] those fees so that we can have the funds available to pay for year 2," Wagner said.
Wagner described the change as an administrative correction to ensure funds are available for the second year of the contract; she did not provide a roll-call vote or numerical tally in the portion of the transcript provided.
Earlier in the meeting several department heads briefly announced the number of resolutions they had on the evening’s agenda: the prosecutor’s office (four items), the sheriff’s office (one), the Department of Economic Development (two), Engineering, Public Works and Facilities Management (13), Human Services (seven), Parks and Recreation (two), Public Safety (three) and the county manager (two). Those counts were presented as a preview; the transcript excerpt does not record separate discussion or votes on those individual items.
No formal vote on the HUD-fee adjustment resolution is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
