Clear Creek commissioners approve letter to add Prop 123 expedited-review funds to existing DOLA grant
Summary
The Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners voted to authorize a letter asking the Department of Local Affairs to add Prop 123 expedited-review funds to the county's existing DOLA grant so the Clear Creek Housing Authority can administer the funds; the board approved the letter by voice vote with no roll call recorded.
The Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners voted to approve a letter asking the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) to add Prop 123 expedited-review funds to the county's existing DOLA grant so the Clear Creek Housing Authority can administer the funds.
Staff explained the arrangement during the board packet discussion, saying that if the chair signs the request letter DOLA could add the expedited-review funds to the county's existing grant and the county — as the fiscal agent — would route administration through the Clear Creek Housing Authority. Colton (staff) told the board the approach avoids creating a separate independent grant and uses the existing grant administration structure.
"If that makes sense," Colton said while describing how DOLA would add the money to the existing grant and how the housing authority would administer it. A motion to approve the letter was made on the record by the board member identified in the transcript as "Reb": "I would like to make a motion for the approval of the letter authorizing Prop 123 expedited review funds," and a second was recorded (the seconding speaker is not named in the transcript). The chair called for the vote and announced, "Motion is passed." The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or a tally.
The staff memo in the meeting packet was described as recommending that the chair sign the request letter; the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) referenced in the packet was noted as background and not before the board for action at this time. The board did not receive public comment on the item; the chair invited public comment earlier but closed the public-comment period when no callers were present.
Next steps indicated in the discussion are administrative: the chair will sign the requested letter so DOLA can attach the funds to the existing grant and staff will coordinate with the Clear Creek Housing Authority on administration. The meeting proceeded to an executive session later in the agenda.
