DISBURSEMENT AND FUNDS The City was allocated $447,249 in Emergency Solutions Grant fonds under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act for fiscal year 2023-2024 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. CITY agrees to pay to SUBRECIPIENT when, if and to the extent federal funds are received under provisions of the Act a sum not to exceed $50,000 for SUBRECIPIENT'S performance in accordance with the Budget attached hereto as "Exhibit B" during the period of this Agreement. Said sum shall be paid after CITY receives invoices submitted by SUBRECIPIENT as provided hereinabove. A. Amount and Expenditure End Date The CITY agrees to reimburse the SUBRECIPIENT a maximum amount not to exceed $50,000 from Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, as outlined in Exhibit B, Final Budget, and such funds shall be expended by the SUBRECIPIENT on or before June 30, 2024. SUBRECIPIENT has the ability to adjust line item amounts in the Budget with the written approval of the CITY's Executive Director of the Community Development Agency, so long as the total Budget amount does not increase. B. Invoicing Procedures The SUBRECIPIENT shall submit quarterly invoices (on or before the 15" day of October, January, April, and July) in a form prescribed by the CITY, detailing such expenses. Such schedule may be modified with the approval of the CITY. C.

Said amounts shall include and will be limited to, street outreach, emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, rapid re -housing assistance, housing relocation and stabilization services, short-term and medium -term rental assistance, and Homeless Management Information Systems ("HMIS") data contribution as set forth in 24 CFR § 576.101 — § 576.107. Allowable program costs are detailed in the Budget, as set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The SUBRECIPIENT'S failure to perform as required may, in addition to other remedies set forth in this AGREEMENT, result in readjustment of the amount of funds the CITY is otherwise obligated to pay to the SUBRECIPIENT pursuant to the terms hereof. The SUBRECIPIENT agrees that the homeless shelter/services under said program shall be available for the entire period during which said fiords are provided. E. Condition of Funding (1) The CITY advises the SUBRECIPIENT that a significant change in entitlement funding may result in a change in the current process utilized by the CITY to determine funding allocations. The SUBRECIPIENT acknowledges that the obligation of the CITY is contingent upon the availability of Federal, State or Local government fiords, which are appropriated or allocated for the payment of such an obligation. If funding levels are significantly affected by Federal budgeting or if funds are not allocated and available for the continuance of the function performed by the SUBRECIPIENT, this AGREEMENT may be terminated by the CITY at the end of the period for which funds are available. At the earliest opportunity, the CITY shall notify the SUBRECIPIENT of any service which may be affected by a shortage of fiords. No penalty shall accrue to the CITY in the event this provision is exercised and the CITY shall not be liable for any damages as a result of termination under this provision of this AGREEMENT. Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating the CITY to expend funds in excess of appropriations authorized by law. (2) The SUBRECIPIENT shall allow representatives of the CITY or HUD to inspect facilities which are used in connection with the AGREEMENT or which implement programs funded under this AGREEMENT. F. Matching The SUBRECIPIENT is required to make matching contributions to supplement the ESG program in an amount that equals or exceeds the amount of ESG funds provided by HUD through the CITY. Such contributions shall be entirely consistent with the Matching Requirements as outlined by 24 CFR § 576.201. The anticipated source and amount of all matching funds contributed by the SUBRECIPIENT will be enumerated in Exhibit B, Final Budget. G. Program Income (1) Definition. Program income means, as provided by 2 CFR 200.1, gross income earned by the SUBRECIPIENT that is directly generated by a grant supported activity, or earned only as a result of the grant agreement during the grant period. For purposes of ESG, program income will also include any amount of a security or utility deposit returned to the SUBRECIPIENT. (2) Use. The SUBRECIPIENT shall use all income received from said funds only for the same purposes for which said funds may be expended pursuant to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. (3) Counts toward Matching. Costs paid by program income may count toward meeting the matching requirements, provided the costs are eligible ESG costs that supplement the program. H. Separation of Accounts All funds received by the SUBRECIPIENT from the CITY pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be maintained separate and apart from any other fiends of the SUBRECIPIENT, or of any principal or member of the SUBRECIPIENT, in an account (the "Account') at a federally insured banking or savings and loan institution with record keeping of such Accounts maintained pursuant to applicable legal requirements. The SUBRECIPIENT shall keep all records of the Account in a manner that is consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. No monies shall be withdrawn from the Account except for expenditures relating to essential services, homeless prevention, and/or operations costs, as authorized hereunder. All disbursements from the Account shall be for obligations incurred in the performance of this AGREEMENT and shall be supported by contracts, invoices, vouchers, and other data, as appropriate, evidencing the necessity of such expenditure. The CITY may withhold payment allocation requests if the SUBRECIPIENT fails to comply with the above requirements until such compliance is demonstrated. I. Expenditure of Funds Much like how HUD requires the CITY, pursuant to 24 CFR 576.203, to expend all of the grant funds for eligible activity costs within 24 months after the date that HUD signs the grant agreement with the CITY, it is a requirement for the SUBRECIPIENT to expend all of the grant funds for eligible activity costs within the aforementioned period. For the purposes of this paragraph, expenditure means either an actual cash disbursement for a direct charge for a good/service or an indirect cost, or the accrual of a direct charge for a good/service or an indirect cost. Failure to expend said funds within said tirreframe can result in a reallocation of funds. J. Prohibited Use (1) Generally.

Said funds shall not be used for entertainment purposes or for gifts. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies that it will not use said funds for illegal or dishonest conduct, rather, fund use will remain in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including applicable laws not outlined in this AGREEMENT. (2) Lobbying. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies and agrees that it will comply with federal law (31 U.S.C. 1352) and regulations found at 24 CFR Part 87, which provide that no appropriated funds may be expended by the recipient of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement to pay any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, Member of Congress, or an officer or employee of a Member of Congress in connection with awarding of any federal contract, the making of any federal grant or loan, entering into any cooperative agreement and the extension, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT shall sign a certification to that effect in a form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The SUBRECIPIENT shall submit said signed certification to the CITY prior to performing any of its obligations under this AGREEMENT and prior to any obligation arising on the part of the CITY to pay any sums to the SUBRECIPIENT under the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT.
