A new three-year cooperative agreement to continue participation in the Metropolitan Tulsa HOME Consortium satisfying the program requirements has been developed. The cooperation agreement, with supporting documentation, must be submitted to by June 30, 2006. Extension of this designation by H. UD will be made by September 29, 2006, so that we will be able to receive a HOME allocation for FY's 2007-2009. Memorandum Page 2 April 24, 2006 The annual funding amount for the Consortium is dependent upon the annual appropriation level of the program and the number of participating local governments. Although the amount of funds available for FY2007 is not known at this time, it is estimated that the FY2006 annual funding level for the Metropolitan Tulsa HOME Consortium will be approximately $1,241,700. While the HOME program requires a 25 percent match, there are no Consortium membership assessments or fees. Eligible sources of match utilized by the Consortium include the value of below-market-rate- interest on loans to low-income home-buyers, cash contributions from non-federal sources, the value of customary taxes and fees that are waived, the cost of infrastructure investments directly related to housing being assisted. The match may also be reduced for areas meeting certain criteria of fiscal distress or be waived for up to two years for areas designated as federal disaster counties. A policy committee, representing each participating local government, has been established to develop consortium policies. Staff support is provided by INCOG. REQUEST FOR ACTION: INCOG staff recommends that the City of Owasso approve participation in the Metropolitan Tulsa HOME Consortium. A resolution approving continued participation in the consortium and authorizing execution of the cooperation agreement is attached. 1, 'V �' TULSA COUNTY HOME CONSORTIUM for W lll LOCAL UNIT OF GOVERNMENT 2004 POPULATIONIJ Tulsa County (lead entity) -34,700 Creek County -34,270 Osage County -22,500 Rogers County -48,990 Wagoner County *30,620 Washington County *9,040 Broken Arrow 84,400 Bartlesville 34,640 Owasso 22,580 Sapulpa 19,800 Bixby 17,730 Sand Springs 17,640 Claremore 16,990 Jenks 12,080 Glenpool 8,540 Coweta 8,140 Skiatook 6,090 Catoosa 6,020 Bristow 4,320 Collinsville 4,300 Hominy 3,740 Pawhuska 3,560 Drumright 2,880 Total 453,570 *Unincorporated population of the County **2004 Census Estimates
