Evansville board approves $40,284 short-term funding for Memorial CDC home repairs
Summary
The board approved a $40,284 second amendment to a contract with Memorial CDC to keep its emergency home repair program operating while federal CDBG funds arrive later than expected.
The Evansville board approved a $40,284 second amendment to the city’s agreement with Memorial CDC to continue emergency home repairs for low-to-moderate-income Evansville homeowners.
City staff explained the payment is a short-term bridge while the city’s annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds were delayed. “Essentially, our annual CDBG funds have arrived a bit later this year than where it was normally expected,” Speaker 3 said, describing the need for temporary funding so Memorial can continue making repairs until the 2024 contract is finalized.
The amendment was brought forward during new business and was adopted after a motion, a second and a voice vote. The board did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript.
The funding is framed as temporary support pending execution of the full 2024 contract; staff said the additional amount will allow Memorial CDC to continue serving homeowners until the longer-term contract is in place. The board’s approval authorizes staff to finalize the amendment and process the $40,284 payment.
Next steps: staff will execute the amendment and complete contract paperwork for the 2024 agreement; no additional funding details or a timeline for the full 2024 contract were specified in the record.
