Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and Memorandum of Understanding with <br /> Surrounding Jurisdictions <br /> July 16, 2024 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Key Terms in Memorandum of Understanding <br /> The Memorandum of Understanding and Payment Agreement (MOU) includes the <br /> following key terms: <br /> • Term: August 1, 2024 to July 30, 2025 <br /> • Each surrounding jurisdiction agrees to their 2024 population estimate and <br /> proportional payment to the City as a percentage of the total cost of $159,822 for <br /> the services to be provided by MDG Associates, Inc. (For example, the County of <br /> Orange will pay $23,840.82 and the City of Anaheim will pay $18,011 .41 to the <br /> City.) <br /> • The City will make payment to MDG Associates, Inc. in six installments based <br /> upon their Scope of Work up to a total amount of $159,822. <br /> If the Agreement with MDG Associates, Inc. and the MOU are not approved by City <br /> Council, the City will need to inform the surrounding jurisdictions that the City is not able <br /> to participate in this regional partnership and their respective staff will need to identify <br /> an alternative plan. The deadline for each jurisdiction to submit their Assessment of Fair <br /> Housing to HUD is before June 30, 2025 and the development of a complete <br /> Assessment takes up to a year. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> While the City is serving as the lead jurisdiction for contracting purposes, there are 33 <br /> surrounding jurisdictions sharing in the cost of preparing the Regional Assessment of <br /> Fair Housing. Each of the participating jurisdictions has confirmed that they will execute <br /> the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to pay their identified share of the <br /> total cost. The City's proportionate share of the total cost will be $16,456.65. If a <br /> jurisdiction decides not to execute the MOU following their prior commitment, that <br /> jurisdiction will not be included in the Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and the <br /> portion of payment required by all participating jurisdictions will be increased, including <br /> the City's portion up to the total amount of the Agreement. <br /> Funds were available in the CDA-Service Enhancements Contract Services account <br /> (01118017-62300) in FY 2023-24. Therefore, a proposed carryover of unspent funds <br /> will be presented to City Council in September for approval of carryovers to FY 2024-25. <br /> EXHIBIT(S) <br /> 1 .
