Kikmeyer, Chair, Board of County Comm'ssionersa FROM: Judy Griego, Director, Department of Social Service (CI SUBJECT: Housing Rehabilitation Inter-Governmental Agreeme t DATE: July 18, 1996 As discussed at the Housing Authority Work Session of July 15, 1996, Greeley Urban Renewal Authority has signed the Inter-Governmental Agreement which contracts housing rehabilitation administrative functions to Greeley Urban Renewal. The IGA outlines those functions which are contracted. Under terms of the Agreement Weld County Housing Authority agrees to reimburse GURA a total of $31,000 for the period from September 1, 1996 thru August 31, 1997. The Agreement is contingent upon receiving administrative funding in an acceptable amount of administrative funding from the State. The Inter-Governmental Agreement, as well as the cover letter from Greeley Urban Renewal Authority explaining the deletion of the last sentence of Paragraph 11, which would have required GURA to hold harmless and defend Weld County for any loss occasioned by or a result of the performance of this agreement by GURA, its employees, volunteers and agents. The GURA Board and their attorney felt that this provision was too broad. We discussed this deletion with the County Attorney and he has recomended that the Agreement be approved as amended. Staff is recommending Board approval of this Inter-Governmental Agreement. 961258 p GREELEY URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY Clty 1129 4TH STREET, GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 (303) 350-9380 Greeley July 18, 1996 Jim Sheehan, Director Weld County Housing Authority P. O. Box A Greeley, CO 80632 Jim: Enclosed are all three copies of the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement that you forwarded to me last month. The Board of the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority gave approval to the document at their meeting of last Wednesday, July 10, 1996. One change was made by the Board on the advice of the GURA Attorney. The last sentence of Paragraph 11 of the Agreement has been deleted. The Board and the Attorney felt very strongly that the sentence was overly broad and that in no way should GURA agree to hold harmless and defend Weld County from some unknown potential conflict when, in fact, it is Weld County asking GURA to provide these services in order to assure more funds and assistance for its citizens. The Board agrees to not hold Weld County liable for injuries or damages caused by GURA employees. The Board refused to go farther than that. If you or your Committees have any questions on this change, please feel free to call me. If the contract is acceptable in this form, please return one executed copy to us. Si cerely, rank J.
