54. AMENDMENT OF ACTION TO RETURN CDBG FUNDS TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM FOR REALLOCATION AS A RESULT OF CHANGE IN USE OF MESA FOOD BANK BUILDING. Amend the action taken in C-22-12-006-G-00 on August 31, 2011 to transfer $306,000 to the County Community Development Block Grant. Subsequent to the action taken on August 31, 2011, it was determined that the communities of Mesa, Chandler and Tempe contributed CDBG funds towards the construction and/or expansion of the Mesa Food Bank building; therefore entitling them to a portion of the repayment of CDBG funds from the County. This amended action changes the distribution of the funds to transfer only $252,127 to the County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program as a result of the change in use of the Mesa Food Bank building. In addition, approve payments totaling $53,873 to be paid to the cities that contributed CDBG funds to the Mesa Food Bank building. While the total repayment of CDBG funds totals $306,000 as originally approved by the Board, this action changes the payment schedule as follows: Maricopa County CDBG: $252,127 City of Mesa - CDBG: $ 44,523 City of Chandler - CDBG: $ 7,866 City of Tempe - CBDG: $ 1,484 Total Repayment to Cities: $ 53,873 Total Repayment of CDBG: $306,000 The Mesa Food Bank was constructed and subsequently expanded using County Community Development Block Grant funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Mesa Food Bank building is no longer being utilized as a food bank. In accordance with 24 CFR §570.505, if the County wishes to change the use of a CDBG–funded building, a public hearing must be held to solicit comments on the proposed changes. If the proposed use does not meet CDBG requirements, the CDBG program must be repaid at the fair market value of the building. (C-22-12-006-G-02)
