Clackamas County boards approve housing intergovernmental amendment and multiple grants and contracts
Summary
On July 9 the Clackamas County Housing Authority and Board of County Commissioners approved consent agendas covering a $31.48 million amendment for coordinated housing and homeless services, a $10 million OHA housing grant, a $5.15 million contract for a shuttle program, DOT culvert grant applications and other intergovernmental agreements; both consent agendas passed unanimously.
The Housing Authority of Clackamas County and the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners on July 9 approved consent agendas that include major housing and grant awards, intergovernmental agreements and contracts.
The housing authority consent agenda — approved unanimously — included an amendment to an intergovernmental agreement for coordinated delivery of housing and homeless services with an amendment value of $31,476,701.37 for one year (total agreement value listed in the packet: $93,003,712.70 for five years). The clerk said funding for those items is through a state emergency order and regional supportive housing services measure funds; no county general funds were reported for the listed housing authority items.
On the county consent agenda the board approved multiple items including an amendment with the Oregon State Marine Board for two patrol boats (amendment $250,000; total $1,007,056 for two years), a U.S. Department of Justice grant application for assault investigation training (anticipated $500,000 for three years), a $10,000,000 Oregon Health Authority grant for development of community-based housing including work at the Recovery Campus, a five-year personal services contract with MTR Western to operate a last-mile shuttle program ($5,150,740), and a grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the Hackett Creek culverts replacement project (application value $7,346,200 with a $1,469,240 match from the road fund). Several other department-level agreements, subrecipient grants and technology service amendments were also listed.
Clerk Andrew Juraki read the items. The housing authority consent agenda motion was recorded as passing 5–0. The county consent agenda motion was recorded as passing 4–0. The board noted that many of these funds come from state or federal sources and the packets indicated "no county general funds are involved" for many items.
Votes at a glance: housing authority consent agenda — passed 5–0; county consent agenda — passed 4–0.
Why it matters: the actions authorize large-state and federal-funded programs and intergovernmental agreements that support housing, homeless services, transportation projects and health services across the county and region. Several items will require implementation by departments and partner agencies.
