The Board considered a request from the Boys & Girls Club for a letter of commitment in reference to a HUD application. Mr. Bo Hedrick, Director of the Boys & Girls Club discussed a federal grant application submitted by the Sanford Housing Authority (SHA) for a $2.4 million facility to replace the 200 Church Street Club Unit that was previously denied by HUD. The proposed new facility would house the Boys & Girls Club programs and CCCC classes. The Boys & Girls Club has committed $50,000 to the project along with $450,000 from the SHA. Reviewers of the application indicated it was denied (according to their grading scale) due to the lack of community support. Although the grant was denied, SHA learned that it made the top 30 out of 300 applications and is being reconsidered because HUD has re- issued additional money under the same RFP. Mr. Hedrick asked Commissioners for a written commitment to be used in the re- submission of the grant to HUD indicating that contingent upon the grants approval, the County would appropriate $50,000 capital investment (one -time agreement) for the project. After discussion, Commissioner Reives moved that a commitment letter for the above - reference project be made available stating that a one -time $50,000 capital investment is provided, contingent upon approval of the HUD application.
