51. PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF GLENDALE FOR HUD-FUNDED PROGRAM ACTIVITIES Approve as a concurring party the programmatic agreement between the City of Glendale and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) governing the environmental clearance of U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant-funded program activities involving properties of potential historical significance. Concurrence by the Board of Supervisors is required by SHPO because the City of Glendale receives HUD HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) grant funds through the Maricopa HOME Consortium. Maricopa County is the lead agency of the Maricopa HOME Consortium and, as such, serves as the certifying agency on all environmental clearances under the HOME program. Signing the document as a concurring party does not subject the Board of Supervisors to any additional responsibility or liability under the HUD regulations. HUD regulations require an environmental clearance on any activities undertaken with HOME funds. For all properties that are 50 years old or older, or that are listed on a historical register, SHPO must be consulted in order to determine whether the property is of historical significance and whether the property will be adversely affected by the investment of the HOME funds. SHPO allows any local government that has its own Historic Preservation Office or Commission to enter into a programmatic agreement that will allow the local Historic Preservation Office or Commission to determine the historical significance of local properties without a specific concurrence from SHPO.

47. AMENDMENT TO PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF GLENDALE AND STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE FOR HUD-FUNDED PROGRAM ACTIVITIES Approve as a concurring party, a non-financial Amendment No. 1 to the Programmatic Agreement between the City of Glendale (City) and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) governing the environmental clearance of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded program activities. Concurrence by the Board of Supervisors is required by SHPO because the City of Glendale receives HUD HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant funds through the Maricopa HOME Consortium. Maricopa County is the lead agency of the Maricopa HOME Consortium and, as such, serves as the certifying agency on all environmental clearances under the HOME program. Approving and signing the Amendment as a concurring party does not subject the Board to any additional responsibility or liability under the HUD regulations. The City and SHPO agree to amend as follows: a. Preamble to include a Discovery clause in statement five (5) to become an integral part of this Amendment; b. Applicability of Agreement: Addition of Exhibit L in the agreement for Infill and Replacement Housing utilizing HOME funds; c. Ratification of Agreement: City and State hereby agree that, except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of the Agreement will be and remain in full force and effect, and that if any provision of this Amendment conflicts with the Agreement, then the provisions of this Amendment will prevail. The Amendment requires the Board’s signature as a concurring party. HUD regulations require an environmental clearance on any activities undertaken with HOME funds. For all properties that are 50 years old or older, or that are listed on a historical register, SHPO must be consulted in order to determine whether the property is of historical significance and whether the property will be adversely affected by the investment of the HOME funds. SHPO allows any local government that has its own Historic Preservation Office or Commission to enter into a programmatic agreement that will allow the local Historic Preservation Office or Commission to determine the historical significance of local properties without a specific concurrence from SHPO. The City and the County cooperate in performing environmental reviews within the geographic boundaries of the City for HOME-funded HUD projects in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 24 CFR Part 58 and the related laws and authorities, listed at sections 58.5 and 58.6, including responsibilities under Section 106 of the NEPA. The County shall delegate and the City agrees to assume all Section 106 responsibility as required by 24 CFR Part 58.1 for all undertakings of HOME-funded HUD projects. The County remains the lead agency and will have ultimate responsibility, in concurrence with SHPO, for determining whether projects have or do not have a potential effect on historic properties in the environmental review process for projects funded by HOME funds. This Amendment to the Programmatic Agreement is subject to and incorporates by reference the statutory language of A.R.S. §38-511. (C-17-09-052-3-01)
