OCII approves MOU with MOHCD to codify tracking of CDBG program income after HUD audit
Summary
On Dec. 1, 2015, the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure voted 4–0 (one absence) to authorize an Executive Director memorandum of understanding with the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development to formalize tracking and reporting of Community Development Block Grant program income following a HUD audit that found no deficiencies.
The Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure voted Dec. 1 to authorize the agency’s executive director to enter a memorandum of understanding with the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) that formalizes how the agency will track, report and administer Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program income.
Deputy Director of Finance and Administration Bree Mahorter told commissioners the instrument responds to a HUD audit of the agency’s CDBG-related properties and “the good news of the HUD audit is that we had no findings.” The MOU, staff said, documents existing practices: OCII will track program income, incorporate HUD program-income restrictions into transfer documents, transfer sale proceeds from CDBG properties to MOHCD, and report annually to MOHCD within 60 days of the fiscal year end for MOHCD’s consolidated reporting to HUD.
Mahorter said the audit examined four properties—three in the Yerba Buena Gardens area (including the Marriott and Metreon-related parcels) and a Bayview Hunters Point property (known as 345 Williams). She said those properties are slated for transfer to the city pending a property-management plan and Department of Finance review, and that the MOU would remain in effect until terminated or until properties are transferred to the city. “This is merely a documentation of our existing policy and practice,” Mahorter said.
Commissioners asked whether the Commission would receive separate periodic reports on program income. Staff said CDBG-related revenues and expenditures are visible in the agency’s proposed budget and on required ROPS lines, and MOHCD can provide the annual program-income report to the Commission concurrently with its HUD reporting.
The Commission moved and approved the resolution (Resolution No. 70-52015) on a roll-call vote: Commissioner Pimentel, Commissioner Mondejar, Commissioner Singh and Commissioner Bustos voted yes; Madam Chair Rosales was absent. The secretary announced “4 ayes and 1 absent.”
Next steps, staff said, include presenting the MOU to the oversight board and submitting it to the Department of Finance for review as part of the property-transfer and wind-down process.
