AMENDMENT NO. 1 
TO THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT 
BETWEEN 
MARICOPA COUNTY  
ADMINISTERED BY ITS HUMAN SERVICES  
DEPARTMENT  
AND 
THE CITY OF AVONDALE 
 
I. 
The City of Avondale (“City” or “Subrecipient”) and Maricopa County (“County”) 
administered by its Human Services Department entered into an Agreement on or about 
October 3, 2023, to increase affordable housing availability in the Avondale area. The 
County provided the City with $2,750,000 in ARPA funds under Assistance Listing Number 
21.027 for these projects. The City shall directly or through an eligible subrecipient or 
developer, construct and develop affordable homes to be sold to low-income homebuyers. 
The Agreement term is September 13, 2023, through December 31, 2025. The County 
and the City may be referred to individually as “Party” or collectively as “Parties.”  
 
II. 
The Parties now agree to modify the Agreement through this Amendment No. 1 to address 
the following.  
 
A. 
Revise Paragraph 9.0 (Compensation), Subparagraph 9.1, by removing in its 
entirety and replacing with the following: 
 
9.1 
This Agreement is on a cost reimbursement basis. Subrecipient shall 
submit monthly invoices to the County for all costs associated with the 
projects. This project is presumptively eligible as a use of ARPA funds as 
it meets the requirements of the HOME program (SLFRF Final Rule FAQs 
2.14) and is being held to the HOME eligible project cost requirements. Per 
HUD CPD Notice 15-11 Section VII.D, Developers and owners may 
financially benefit from HOME-assisted projects, including via the use of 
reasonable Developer fees. Developer fees “are charged by the developer 
as a part of the project cost to compensate for the risk, time, and effort to 
build and sell or lease the property.” As such, agreed-upon Developer fees 
are an eligible project cost, and may be included in a claim for 
reimbursement. The Developer Fees will be paid out based on the amount 
of work completed or funds expended on the project.

the following Paragraphs:
