BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS -AROUND TITLE: CDBG Subrecipient Agreement — Town of Hudson Safe Walking Paths Project
DEPARTMENT: CDBG DATE: March 13, 2023
PERSON REQUESTING: Cynthia Martin
Brief description of the problem/issue: The proposed subrecipient agreement with the Town of Hudson
for their Safe Walking Paths Project needs Board of County Commissioners' approval and authorization
for the Chair to sign for the grant program to proceed.
The Subrecipient Agreement identifies the project scope, reimbursement process, and the requirements
the Town must follow. This is an agreement between the Town and County and must be approved for
signature at a regular board meeting. We are sending the attached agreement for approval by the Board
of County Commissioners and authorization for the Chair to sign. This agreement utilizes the template
approved by the Board by resolution on Sept. 22, 2022.
The purpose of this project is to construct a safe path for seniors and other Hudson residents to navigate
along Highway 52 from Prairie View Senior Apartments and the surrounding neighborhood to access
Town Hall, the public library, businesses and other amenities located on the other side of Highway 52.
Currently there is no sidewalk along Highway 52 between the Prairie View Apartments and Beech Street
where Town Hall is located. Pedestrians must walk in the dirt. The highway is narrow along this stretch
and there is no protected crosswalk at Highway 52 and Beech Street. CDBG funds will be used to
construct 0.4 mi of sidewalk and an ADA crosswalk with a rapid flashing beacon across CO -52 at Beech
St which connects to a sidewalk leading to businesses, services and facilities that meet basic needs.
The Weld County CDBG Program grant to the Town is in the amount of $65,000
What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options):
1. The Board approves and authorizes signature of this agreement on the next available BOCC
agenda.
2. The Board requests a work session to further discuss the agreement.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board approve the agreement as and authorize the Chair to
sign on the next available BOCC agenda.

amended, and as implemented by the regulations set forth in 24 CFR 75, and
all applicable rules and orders issued hereunder prior to the execution of this
contract, shall be a condition of the Federal financial assistance provided
under this contract and binding upon the Grantee, the Subrecipient and
any of the Subrecipient's subrecipients and subcontractors. Failure to fulfill
these requirements shall subject the Grantee, the Subrecipient and any of
the Subrecipient's subrecipients and subcontractors, their successors and
assigns, to those sanctions specified by the Agreement through which
Federal assistance is provided. The Subrecipient certifies and agrees that no
contractual or other disability exists that would prevent compliance with
these requirements.
The Subrecipient further agrees to comply with these "Section 3"
requirements and to include the following language in all subcontracts
executed under this Agreement:
"The work to be performed under this Agreement is a
project assisted under a program providing direct Federal
financial assistance from HUD and is subject to the
requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1701).
Section 3 requires that to the greatest extent feasible
opportunities for training and employment be given to low -
and very low-income residents of the project area, and that
contracts for work in connection with the project be
awarded to business concerns that provide economic
opportunities for low- and very low-income persons
residing in the metropolitan area in which the project is
located."
The Subrecipient further agrees to ensure that opportunities for training and
employment arising in connection with a housing rehabilitation (including
reduction and abatement of lead -based paint hazards), housing
construction, or other public construction project are given to low- and very
low-income persons residing within the metropolitan area in which the
CDBG-funded project is located; where feasible, priority should be given to
low- and very low-income persons within the service area of the project or
the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to low- and very low-
income participants in other HUD programs; and award contracts for work
undertaken in connection with a housing rehabilitation (including reduction
and abatement of lead -based paint hazards), housing construction, or other
public construction project to business concerns that provide economic
opportunities for low- and very low-income persons residing within the
metropolitan area in which the CDBG-funded project is located; where
feasible, priority should be given to business concerns that provide economic
opportunities to low- and very low-income residents within the service area
or the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to low- and very
low-income participants in other HUD programs.
The Subrecipient certifies and agrees that no contractual or other legal
incapacity exists that would prevent compliance with these requirements.
b. Notifications
The Subrecipient agrees to send to each labor organization or
representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining

labor organization or worker's representative of its commitments under this
