EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On March 7, 2017, your Board approved a contract with Community Development Services (CDS) to prepare a Comprehensive Fire Recovery Funding Implementation Strategy under CDBG Grant 12-CDBG-8395, and to apply for grant funding made available by a special Disaster Recovery Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Federally Declared September 2015 Butte and Valley Wildfires issued August 30, 2016 by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The County of Lake was allocated the sum of $7,592,000, based on the number of destroyed single-family homes in our county.
Under this NOFA, the County applied for the following projects:
1. May 23, 2017 - grant application in the amount of $1,924,263, with $20,000 for General Administrative Services, for Anderson Springs Septic to Sewer Project, approved by CDBG 9/5/17.

On November 9, 2018, an RFP was released to select a consultant to assist the County Administrative Office in administering the above referenced grants, and to apply for future grant funding as recommended in the Fire Recovery Plan presented to the Board on August 28, 2018. Proposals were due December 6, 2018, and only one proposal, from Community Development Services, was received. On February 1, 2019, a request was sent to the CDBG team for approval to award a contract to Community Development Services (CDS), and they approved this request the same day.
