BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Adiel McKnight, Executive Assistant
DATE: June 26,2023
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION re: Housing Fund Board
(HFB) Funding Recommendation from fund 149; In the Amount of
$40,000; OlyCAP
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
There is a need to keep the American Legion shelter open during the summer months. The shelter costs
about$30,000 a month to operate. OlyCAP doesn't have the funds to keep the shelter open the entire
summer and needs $60,000 in order to do so. OlyCAP is asking for$40,000 to help it keep the shelter
open. OlyCAP believes they may be able to raise/find an additional $20,000 to fully fund the shelter
during the summer.
Having the shelter open and available will be especially important during the upcoming heat and
wildfire/smoke season.
ANALYSIS:
Should the Board approve this recommendation staff will bring forward a contract amendment for Board
approval.
The HFB met on Tuesday, June 14, 2023 and recommended providing $40,000 from Fund 149 to
OlyCAP to keep the American Legion open throughout the summer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This request will cost $40,000 from the Affordable Housing Fund, Fund 149.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider and approve the HFB recommendation for$40,000 to OlyCAP for the American Legion shelter.
