MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: January 16,2007
AGENDA ITEM: I. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: T. VanHook, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-03: Relating to Community Development:
approving and authorizing the extension of an intergovernmental
agreement with Pima County for the management and
implementation of the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 Community
Development Block Grant program until December 31,2007.
DISCUSSION
During Fiscal Years 2004 and 2005, the Town of Marana was awarded $220,000 and $145,000
respectively for its participation in Pima County's Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. Subsequently, the Town entered into two separate intergovernmental
agreements (IGA) with the County for management of the funds. These funds were not fully
spent during the contract period, and Town and County staff would like to extend the contract
period through December 2007, so that the funding can be fully leveraged to support affordable
housing efforts.
This funding includes:
. 2004-2005 Affordable Housing Land Acquisition - $45,340
. 2004-2005 Santa Cruz Multi Use Trail - $31
. 2005-2006 Affordable Housing Land Acquisition - $40,000
. 2005-2006 Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation - $44,988
. 2005-2006 Smoke Alarm Program - $20,405
The Affordable Housing Land Acquisition program utilizes CDBG funding for the purchase and
improvement of land for future affordable housing projects. The funding helps the Town of
Marana contribute land costs for affordable housing projects.
Housing Rehabilitation is offered to low-income Marana residents living in owner-occupied
housing. These services include work to repair or replace deteriorated roof systems; repair or
replace major heating and cooling systems; connect, repair or replace septic systems; minor
miscellaneous services for electrical and plumbing upgrades, insulation, ceiling, wall, window
and door repairs; emergency home repairs assistance to alleviate hazardous conditions that
1/11/2007
threaten the life and/or health safety of the occupants; and weatherization to help cut down on
utility bills by making repairs to the home that will lower heating costs.
The Smoke Alarm Program offers free smoke detectors and installation to residents in the
designated Colonia neighborhoods.
The IGA extension will allow for the purchase of property, equipment, and services for these
programs through December 31, 2007. Quarterly reports will be provided to Pima County as a
condition of the IGAs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends authorization for the Mayor to extend the intergovernmental agreements with
Pima County for CDBG funding until December 31, 2007, allowing funding not fully
encumbered prior to December 31, 2006, to be spent on program activities during the 2007
calendar year.

I move to approve Resolution No. 2007-03.
