III. 1. 2020 Capital Funds Program (HRA2020-03) March 4, 2020 HRA Report 2020-03
PUBLIC HEARING
2020 CAPITAL FUNDS PROGRAM
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adopt Resolution 534, authorizing HRA
Board and Executive Director to accept and use the 2020 Capital Funds.
With approval of this motion, the HRA Board and the Executive Director will implement the
proper planning and procurement process to utilize the estimated $90,000 the HRA will receive
in 2020 Capital Funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Overview
The HRA was recently notified of the upcoming availability of the annual Capital Fund Program
for 2020. This year the exact allocation has not yet been determined. We plan to utilize the funds
to support the proposed work and Operations at Dow Towers. Possible projects include:
replacement of concrete and asphalt, parking lot repairs, roof and security system upgrades.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Why do we need to act?
The guidance provided to the Hopkins HRA from the HUD field office indicates that a
resolution accepting and authorizing the use of these funds is now required.
Supporting Information
• HRA Resolution 534
Alternatives
The HRA has the following alternatives regarding this issue:
1. Adopt Resolution 534, approving the action as recommended by staff.
2. Continue for further information.
