E-9
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ANN GRAF, DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND
LIBRARY SERVICES
DATE: JUNE 7, 2021
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO AMEND AND APPROVE GRANT AMENDMENT WITH
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
BACKGROUND:
In fiscal year 2019-20, the SGVCOG received funding for homeless programs in its member
jurisdictions. The SGVCOG was also allotted $1,541,876 by the County of Los Angeles, through
a newly-developed Innovation Funds program, which allocated carry-over Measure H funding to
the County’s Councils of Governments.
In April 2021, the SGVCOG reallocated funding from the Regional Coordination Program to the
Homeless Plan Implementation Program. This allowed cities to apply for additional funding for
tasks in our Homeless Implementation Plan that have expended or committed more than 50% of
the original allocation by April 30, 2021. The award amount cannot exceed the initial award
amount for that task and a maximum of $25,000 can be awarded to one City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1)Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) for
$25,000
ANALYSIS:
To access funding, each city was required to submit an application and scope of work outlining
the proposed activities, and verification of budget expenditures or encumbrance of original
funding. Scoring criteria for the grant award gave preference to tasks related to direct services or
housing of people experiencing or at-risk of experiencing homelessness. Neighborhood
Connections and our Homeless Coordination efforts addressed these requirements.
APPROVED

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions; this grant amendment will
support the Homeless Plan Implementation. Upon Council acceptance of the grant, Finance will
amend the FY 20-21 budget consistent with the grant award amount.
