(requires five affirmative votes) <br />DISCUSSION <br />On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved an appropriation adjustment recognizing <br />Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) service fees in the amount of $311,500. The City <br />Council also authorized the City Manager to execute a future agreement with a <br />designated service provider to utilize EHV service fees to provide housing search <br />assistance for EHVs issued by the Housing Authority (Exhibit 1). Following this approval <br />on January 20, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with Mercy House Living <br />Centers (Mercy House) to administer this $311,500 in EHV service fees (Exhibit 2). <br />In the Fiscal Year 2022-23, staff carried over only 50 percent (50%) of the $311,500 in <br />EHV service fees. However, during FY 2022-23 Mercy House will expend more than 50 <br />percent (50%) of the $311,500 balance. Therefore, staff is seeking approval from the <br />City Council to appropriate the remaining balance of EHV Service Fees. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $155,750 in EHV service fees in <br />Federal Grant – ARPA EHV Service Fees account (18018002-52014) and appropriate <br />same to the EHV – Administrative Fees expenditure account below. Any remaining <br />balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to the City Council <br />for approval of carryovers to FY 2023-24. <br />Fiscal <br />Year <br />Accounting <br />Unit-Account # <br />Fund <br />Description <br />Accounting Unit, <br />Account Description Amount <br />FY 22-23 18018760-69135 Emergency <br />Housing Vouchers <br />EHV – Admin Fees, <br />Payment to Subagent $155,750
