Section 2. Statement of Work: The Provider agrees to implement the Program in

1
Fair Housing Education and Outreach Initiative
The Federal Fair Housing Act, Section 8008(e)(5), requires the Secretary of the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer
HUD's housing and urban development programs in a manner as to
affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). All localities that are direct recipients
of CDBG funds from HUD are required to conduct an assessment of the
barriers to housing choice and to develop a plan for overcoming the
impediments identified. Although the grantee's AFFH obligation arises in
connection with the receipt of Federal funding, its AFFH obligation is not
restricted to the design and operation of HUD - funded programs at the State or
local level. The AFFH obligation extends to all housing and housing - related
activities in the grantee's jurisdictional area whether publicly or privately funded
(U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Fair Housing
and Equal opportunity, Fair Housing Planning Guide, Chapter 1, Section 1.2, 1-
1).
The Consolidated Plan regulations (24CFR 91) require a certification by each
jurisdiction that it will AFFH, which requires Fair Housing Planning. Fair
Housing Planning entails: 1) implementation of action plans to eliminate any
identified impediments; and 2) maintenance of AFFH records, corresponding
with implementation of the Consolidated Plan every three to five years.
Objective: To provide technical assistance to the City in meeting its
requirement to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing as an entitlement jurisdiction
by overcoming the effects of conditions that limit fair housing choice - city -wide
through education, outreach, and counseling.
Action Steps:
1. Conduct four (4) Fair Housing /Predatory Lending educational outreach
sessions (one (1) per quarter) benefiting the City residents. Distribute Fair
Housing and Predatory Lending educational materials.
2. Operate a housing discrimination HELPLINE that will be publicized and
made available to provide residents of the City with: (1) fair housing
counseling; (2) predatory lending; and (3) affordable housing and other
housing related referrals.
3. Publish and distribute at least two (2) issues of The Forum newsletter for
distribution to municipal staff, elected officials, service providers and
community members. The City will receive credit in the printing of the
newsletter for its part in its publishing and distribution.
To fund this activity the CDBG funding will be supplemented with a $5,000 set -
aside of HOME Program Administration funds.
Section 3. Agreement Amount: The City agrees to make available FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($5,000) for use by the Provider during the Term of the Agreement
(hereinafter, the aforestated amount including, without limitation, any additional
amounts included thereto as a result of a subsequent amendment(s) to the
Agreement, shall be referred to as the "Funds ").
2
Section 4. Alterations: Any proposed changes in the Program including, without
limitation, the Budget in Attachment II, shall first be submitted, reviewed, and
approved, in writing, by the City Manager, which approval, if given at all, shall
be at his /her sole reasonable judgment and discretion.
Section 5. Method of Payment and Reporting Requirements: During the Term,
Provider shall submit quarterly Program progress reports to the City on the 10th
day of January, April, July and October, respectively. As part of the report
submitted in October, the Provider also agrees to include, a comprehensive
final report covering the agreed -upon Program objectives, activities, and
expenditures, and including, but not limited to, performance data on client
feedback with respect to the goals and objectives outlined in Attachment I.
Attachment III contains reporting forms to be used in fulfillment of this
requirement. Other reporting requirements may be required by the City
Manager in the event of Program changes; the need for additional information
or documentation arises; and /or legislative amendments are enacted. Reports
and /or requested documentation not received by the due date shall be
considered delinquent and may be cause for default and termination of this
Agreement, pursuant to Section 12 hereof.
Section 6. Monitoring: At its discretion, the City may schedule at least one (1) annual on-
site monitoring visit with the Provider to evaluate the progress of the Program,
and /or to provide technical assistance. At the City's option, a desk top review
of the activities may be conducted in lieu of an on -site visit.
Section 7. Additional Conditions and Compensation: The parties acknowledge that
the Funds originate from CDBG grant funds from HUD, and must be
implemented in full compliance with all of HUD's rules and regulations. In the
event of curtailment or non - production of said federal funds, the financial
sources necessary to continue to pay the Provider all or any portions of the
Funds will not be available. In that event, the City may terminate this
Agreement, which termination shall be effective as of the date that it is
determined by the City Manager, in his /her sole discretion and judgment, that
the Funds are no longer available. In the event of such termination, the
Provider agrees that it will not look to, nor seek to hold the City, nor any
individual member of the City Commission and /or City Administration,
personally liable for the performance of this Agreement, and the City shall be
released from any further liability to Provider under the terms of this
Agreement.

that such Funds are no longer available. Costs of the Provider incurred

ATTACHMENT III
GUIDELINES FOR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF CDBG- FUNDED ACTIVITIES
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
To comply with federal regulations, each program must have a financial management system
that provides accurate, current and complete disclosure of the financial status of the activity.
This means the financial system must be capable of generating regular financial status reports
which indicate the dollar amount allocated for each activity (including any budget revisions),
amount obligated (i.e., for which contract exists), and the amount expended for each activity.
The system must permit the comparison of actual expenditures and revenues against budgeted
amounts. The City must be able to isolate and to trace every CDBG dollar received and prove
where it went and for what it was used.
The City is responsible for reviewing and certifying the financial management of any operating
agency, which is not a City department or bureau, in order to determine whether or not it meets
all of the above requirements. If the agency's system does not meet these requirements and
modifications are not possible, the City must administer the CDBG funds for the operating
agency.
SUPPORT FOR EXPENDITURES
Sufficient support for expenses depends on the type of expenditure. They normally include the
following items:
• Salaries (should be supported by proper documentation in personnel files of hire date,
position, duties, compensation, raises with effective date, termination date, and similar type
information. Non - exempt employees are required by law to complete a timesheet showing
number of hours they worked during the day. All employees paid in whole or in part from
CDBG funds should prepare a time sheet indicating the hours worked on CDBG projects for
each pay period. Based on these time sheets and the hourly payroll costs for each
employee, a voucher statement indicating the distribution of payroll charges should be
prepared and placed in the appropriate files.)
• Employee Benefits (should be supported by personnel policies and procedures manual,
describing the types of benefits, eligibility and other relevant information.)
• Professional Services (should be supported by a complete and signed copy of the contract
between the organization and the independent contractor, describing at the minimum, period
of service, type of service and method for payments, in addition to the invoice from the
private contractor.)
• Purchases (at a minimum, purchases should be supported by a purchase order, packing list
and vendor invoice. Credit card statements, travel itineraries, vendor statements and similar
items do not represent support for an expense.)
Page 1 of 2
1
RECORDS
Accounting records must be supported by source documentation. Invoices, bills of lading,
purchase vouchers, payrolls and the like must be secured and retained for four years in order to
show for what purpose funds were spent. Payments should not be made without invoices and
vouchers physically in hand. All vouchers /invoices should be on vendor's letterhead. Financial
records are to be retained for a period of four years, with access guaranteed to the City, to HUD
or Treasury officials or their representative.
AUDITS
For years beginning after June 30, 1996, all nonprofit organizations, state governments, and
local governments that receive Federal funding fall under the revised OMB Circular A -133,
Audits of States, Local Governments, and Nonprofit Organizations. Non - Federal entities that
expend $300,000 or more in a year in Federal awards must have a single or program- specific
audit.
One copy of the sub - recipient or vendors' audited financial statement shall be submitted to the
City immediately following the end of the fiscal year(s) during which CDBG funds are received.
All auditees must submit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) a data collection form (Form
SF -SAC) and reporting package upon completion of the annual audit in accordance with OMB
Circular A -133. The deadline for this submission is the earlier of the 30 days after receipt of the
auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless a longer period is
agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for the audit. Address for
submission is:
The Federal Audit Clearinghouse

CDBG AGREEMENT
October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011
ATTACHMENT IV
APPLICABLE FEDERAL REGULATIONS
NON - DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL ACCESS
No person in the United States shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin,
religion or sex be excluded, denied benefits or subjected to discrimination under any
program funded in whole or in part by CDBG funds. The Provider must take measures
to ensure non - discriminatory treatment, outreach and access to program resources.
This applies to employment and contracting, as well as to marketing and selection of
program participants.
Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
The Provider must comply with all the following Federal laws, executive orders and
regulations pertaining to fair housing and equal opportunity. They are summarized
below:
• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, As Amended (42 USC 2000d et seq.): States
that no person may be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or
subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance on the basis of race, color or national origin. The regulations
implementing the Title VI Civil Rights Act provisions for HUD programs may be found
in 24 CFR Part 1.
• The Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601- 3620): Prohibits discrimination in the sale or
rental of housing, the financing of housing or the provision of brokerage services
against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap
of familial status. Fair Housing Act implementing regulations may be found in 24
CFR Part 100 -115.
• Equal Opportunity in Housing (Executive Order 11063, as amended by Executive
Order 12259): Prohibits discrimination against individuals on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex or national origin in the sale, rental, leasing or other disposition of
residential property, or in the use or occupancy of housing assisted with Federal
funds. Equal Opportunity in Housing regulations may be found in 24 CFR Part 107.
• Age Discrimination Act of 1975, As Amended (42 USC 6101): Prohibits age
discrimination in programs receiving Federal financial assistance. Age
Discrimination Act regulations may be found in 24 CFR Part 146.
• Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974:
Requires that no person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits
of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity funded with CDBG
funds on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or sex.
Affirmative Marketing
The Provider must adopt affirmative marketing procedures and requirements for all
CDBG- assisted housing with five or more units. Requirements and procedures must
include:
Page 1 of 8
• Methods for informing the public, owners and potential tenants about fair housing
laws and the Provider's policies (for example: use of the Fair Housing logo or equal
opportunity language);
• A description of what owners and /or the Provider will do to affirmatively market
housing assisted with CDBG funds;
• A description of what owners and /or the Provider will do to inform persons not likely
to apply for housing without special outreach;
• Maintenance of records to document actions taken to affirmatively market CDBG-
assisted units and to assess marketing effectiveness; and
• A description of how efforts will be assessed and what corrective actions will be
taken where requirements are not met.
Handicapped Accessibility
The CDBG regulations also require adherence to the three following regulations
governing the accessibility of Federally assisted buildings, facilities and programs.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (42 USC 12131; 47 USC 155, 201, 218 and 225):
Provides comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities in the areas of
employment, public accommodations, state and local government services and
telecommunications. The Act, also referred to as the ADA, also states that
discrimination includes the failure to design and construct facilities (built for first
occupancy after January 26, 1993) that are accessible to and usable by persons with
disabilities. The ADA also requires the removal of architectural and communication
barriers that are structural in nature in existing facilities. Removal must be readily
achievable, easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty
or expense.
• Fair Housing Act: Multi- family dwellings must also meet the design and construction
requirements at 24 CFR 100.205, which implement the Fair Housing Act (42 USC
3601 -19)
• Section 504: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination in
federally assisted programs on the basis of handicap. Section 504 imposes
requirements to ensure that "qualified individuals with handicaps" have access to
programs and activities that receive Federal funds. Under Section 504, recipients
and subrecipients are not required to take actions that create unique financial and
administrative burdens or after the fundamental nature of the program. For any
Provider principally involved in housing or social services, all of the activities of the
agency -- not only those directly receiving Federal assistance -- are covered under
Section 504. Contractors or vendors are subject to Section 504 requirements only in
the work they do on behalf of the Provider or the City. The ultimate beneficiary of the
Federal assistance is not subject to Section 504 requirements.
• The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42 USC 4151 - 4157): Requires certain
Federal and Federally- funded buildings and other facilities to be designed,
constructed or altered in accordance with standards that ensure accessibility to, and
use by, physically handicapped people.

f
II. EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRACTING
The Provider must comply with the regulations below governing employment and
contracting opportunities. These concern equal opportunity, labor requirements and
contracting /procurement procedures.
Equal Opportunity
The Provider must comply with the following regulations that ensure equal opportunity
for employment and contracting.
• Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246, as amended: Prohibits
discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of race,
color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions to effectuate this prohibition must be
included in all construction contracts exceeding $10,000. Implementing regulations
may be found at 41 CFR Part 60.
• Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968: Requires that, to the
greatest extent feasible, opportunities for training and employment arising from
CDBG funds will be provided to low- income persons residing in the program service
area. Also, to the greatest extent feasible, contracts for work (all types) to be
performed in connection with CDBG will be awarded to business concerns that are
located in or owned by persons residing in the program service area.
• Minority/Women's Business Enterprise: Under Executive Orders 11625, 12432 and
12138, the City and the Provider must prescribe procedures acceptable to HUD for a
minority outreach program to ensure the inclusion, to the maximum extent possible,
of minorities and women, and entities owned by minorities and women, in all
contracts (see 24 CFR 85.36(e)).
Labor Requirements
The Provider must comply with certain regulations on wage and labor standards. In the
case of Davis -Bacon and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Acts, every
contract for construction (in the case of residential construction, projects with eight or
more units) triggers the requirements.
• Davis -Bacon and Related Acts (40 USC 276(A) -7): Ensures that mechanics and
laborers employed in construction work under Federally- assisted contracts are paid
wages and fringe benefits equal to those that prevail in the locality where the work is
performed. This act also provides for the withholding of funds to ensure compliance,
and excludes from the wage requirements apprentices enrolled in bona fide
apprenticeship programs.
• Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, as amended (40 USC 327 -333):
Provides that mechanics and laborers employed on Federally- assisted construction
jobs are paid time and one -half for work in excess of 40 hours per week, and
provides for the payment of liquidated damages where violations occur. This act
also addresses safe and healthy working conditions.
• Copeland (Anti- Kickback) Act (40 USC 276c): Governs the deductions from
paychecks that are allowable. Makes it a criminal offense to induce anyone
employed on a Federally assisted project to relinquish any compensation to which
he /she is entitled, and requires all contractors to submit weekly payrolls and
statements of compliance.
Page 3 of 8
• Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, As Amended (29 USC 201, et. seq.): Establishes
the basic minimum wage for all work and requires the payment of overtime at the
rate of at least time and one -half. It also requires the payment of wages for the
entire time that an employee is required or permitted to work, and establishes child
labor standards.
Contracting and Procurement Practices
The CDBG program is subject to certain Federal procurement rules. In addition, the City
and the Provider must take measures to avoid hiring debarred or suspended contractors
or subrecipients and conflict -of- interest situations. Each is briefly discussed below.
• Procurement: For the City, the procurement standards of 24 CFR 85.36 apply. For
non - profit organizations receiving CDBG funds, the procurement requirements at 24
CFR Part 84 apply.
• Conflict of Interest: The CDBG regulations require grantees (the City), state
recipients and subrecipients (the Provider) to comply with two different sets of
conflict -of- interest provisions. The first set of provisions comes from 24 CFR Parts
84 and 85. The second, which applies only in cases not covered by 24 CFR Parts
84 and 85, is set forth in the CDBG regulations. Both sets of requirements are
discussed below.
- The provisions at 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42 apply in the procurement of
property and services by grantees (the City), state recipients, and subrecipients
(the Provider). These regulations require the City and the Provider to maintain
written standards governing the performance of their employees engaged in
awarding and administering contracts. At a minimum, these standards must:
- Require that no employee, officer, agent of the City or the Provider shall
participate in the selection, award or administration of a contract supported by
CDBG if a conflict -of- interest, either real or apparent, would be involved;
- Require that employees, officers and agents of the City or the Provider not
accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors,
potential contractors or parties to subagreements; and
- Stipulate provisions for penalties, sanctions or other disciplinary actions for
violations of standards.
A conflict would arise when any of the following has a financial or other interest in
a firm selected for an award:
- An employee, agent or officer of the City or the Provider;
- Any member of an employee's, agent's or officer's immediate family;
- An employee's, agent's or officer's partner; or
- An organization that employs or is about to employ an employee, agent or
officer of the City or the Provider.
- The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.611 governing conflict -of- interest apply in
cases not covered by 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42. These provisions cover
employees, agents, consultants, officers and elected or appointed officials of the
grantee (the City), state recipient or subrecipient (the Provider). The regulations
state that no person covered who exercises or has exercised any functions or
responsibilities with respect to CDBG activities or who is in a position to
participate in decisions or gain inside information:
Page 4 of 8
- May obtain a financial interest or benefit from a CDBG activity; or
- Have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement for themselves or
for persons with business or family ties.
This requirement applies to covered persons during their tenure and for one year
after leaving the grantee (the City), the state recipient or subrecipient (the
Provider) entity.
Upon written request, exceptions to both sets of provisions may be granted by
HUD on a case -by -case only after the City has:
- Disclosed the full nature of the conflict and submitted proof that the disclosure
has been made public; and
- Provided a legal opinion from the City stating that there would be no violation
of state or local law if the exception were granted.
• Debarred contractors: In accordance with 24 CFR Part 5, CDBG funds may not be
used to directly or indirectly employ, award contracts to or otherwise engage the
services of any contractor or subrecipient during any period of debarment,
suspension or placement of ineligibility status. The City should check all contractors,
subcontractors, lower -tier contractors or subrecipients against the Federal
publication that lists debarred, suspended and ineligible contractors.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The City is responsible for meeting a number of environmental requirements, including
environmental reviews, flood insurance, and site and neighborhood standards.
Environmental Review
The City is responsible for undertaking environmental reviews in accordance with the
requirements imposed on "recipients" in 24 CFR 58. Reviews must be completed, and
Requests for Release of Funds (RROF) submitted to HUD before CDBG funds are
committed for non - exempt activities. Private citizens and organizations may object to
the release of funds for CDBG projects on certain procedural grounds relating to
environmental review (see 24 CFR 58.70 - 58.77). To avoid challenges, grantees (the
City) and subrecipients (the Provider) should be diligent about meeting procedural
requirements.
Flood Insurance
Section 202 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 USC 4106): Requires that
CDBG funds shall not be provided to an area that has been identified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as having special flood hazard, unless: The
community is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, or it has been less
than a year since the community was designated as having special flood hazards; and
Flood insurance is obtained.
IV. LEAD -BASED PAINT
On September 15, 1999, the "Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of
Lead -Based Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Residential Property and Housing
Receiving Federal Assistance; Final Rule" was published within title 24 of the Code of
Federal Regulations as part 35 (24 CFR 35). The regulation was issued under sections
1012 and 1013 of the Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992,
which is Title X (ten) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. Sections
Page 5 of 8
-- i
1012 and 1013 of Title X amended the Lead -Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of
1971, which is the basic law covering lead -based paint in federally associated housing.
The regulation sets hazard reduction requirements that give much greater emphasis to
reducing lead in house dust. Scientific research has found that exposure to lead in dust
is the most common way young children become lead poisoned. Therefore, the new
regulation requires dust testing after paint is disturbed to make sure the home is lead -
safe. Specific requirements depend on whether the housing is being disposed of or
assisted by the federal government, and also on the type and amount of financial
assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is rental or owner
occupied.
On April 22, 2008, the EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead -safe practices and
other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning to protect against the hazards created
by exposure to lead dust in existing structures built prior to 1978. Under the rule, all
contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead -based
paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and
follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. This rule (40 CFR Part 745)
is enforced as of April 22, 2010. The rule must be executed by all sub - contractors.
PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM LEAD -BASED PAINT REGULATION.
• Housing built since January 1, 1978, when lead paint was banned for residential use;
• Housing exclusively for the elderly or people with disabilities, unless a child under
age 6 is expected to reside there;
• Zero - bedroom dwellings, including efficiency apartments, single -room occupancy
housing, dormitories or military barracks;
• Property that has been found to be free of lead -based paint by a certified lead -based
paint inspector;
• Property where all lead -based paint has been removed;
• Unoccupied housing that will remain vacant until demolished;
• Non - Residential property; and
• Any rehabilitation or housing improvement that does not disturb a painted surface.
TYPES OF HOUSING SUBJECT TO 24 CFR 35
• Federally -Owned housing being sold;
• Housing receiving a federal subsidy that is associated with the property, rather than
with the occupants (project -based assistance);
• Public housing;
• Housing occupied by a family (with a child) receiving tenant -based subsidy (such as
a voucher or certificate);
• Multifamily housing for which mortgage insurance is being sought; and
• Housing receiving federal assistance for rehabilitation, reducing homelessness, and
other special needs.
If you want copies of the regulation or have general questions, you can call the National
Lead Information Center at (800) 424 -LEAD, or TDD (800) 526 -5456 for the hearing
impaired. You can also download the regulation and other educational materials at
http: / /www.hud.gov /offices /lead /index.cfm. For further information, you may call HUD at
(202) 755 -1785, ext. 104, or e -mail HUD at lead regulations
Page 6 of 8
V. DISPLACEMENT, RELOCATION, ACQUISITION AND REPLACEMENT OF HOUSING
CDBG projects involving acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition may be subject to the
provisions of the Uniform Relocation Act (UDA). Demolition or conversion of units with
CDBG funds may trigger section 104 (d) (also known as the "Barney Frank Amendment"
requirements.)
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL OBJECTIVE
The Provider will ensure and maintain evidence that activities assisted with CDBG funds
from the City of Miami Beach comply with the primary National Objective, "Benefit to Low
and Moderate Income Persons" and will provide services or activities that benefit at least
51% low and moderate income persons. A low or moderate - income household is
defined as: a household having an income equal to, or less than, the limits cited below.
Individuals who are unrelated but are sharing the same household shall each be
considered as one - person households.
