real property and the provision of assistance by Subrecipient to individuals, businesses, and other private

to replace 24 CFR §570.611, essentially this rule states that no "person" described in §570.611(c)
who exercise or have exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to activities assisted with

CFR §5.109 (Equal Participation of Religious Organizations in HUD Programs and Activities), and
24 CFR §570.200(j). Essentially, these regulations provide for the following:
(a) Equal treatment of program participants and program beneficiaries.
(1) Program participants. Organizations that are religious or faith -based are eligible, on
the same basis as any other organization, to participate in the CDBG program. Neither the Federal
Government or a State or local government receiving funds under the CDBG program shall
discriminate against an organization based on the organization's religious character or affiliation.
(b) Separation of inherently religious activities. Organizations that are directly funded under the
CDBG program may not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious
instruction, or proselytization, as part of the programs or services funded. If an organization

CDBG-CV - TA to Micro & SBO Page 12
DocuSign Envelope ID: 662D7594-0F61-4DB9-AA81-2FD587D23458
programs or services funded under this part, and participation must be voluntary for the program
beneficiaries of the HUD -funded programs or services provided.
(c) Religious Identity. A religious organization that is a recipient or subrecipient of CDBG
program funds will retain its independence, autonomy, expression of religious beliefs, or religious
character. Such organization will retain its independence from federal, state, and local
governments, and may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice, and
expression of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use direct CDBG funds to support any
inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Among
other things, faith -based organizations may use space in their facilities to provide CDBG-funded
services, without removing or altering religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols. In
addition, a CDBG-funded religious organization retains its authority over its internal governance,
and it may retain religious terms in its organization's name, select its board members on a religious
basis, and include religious references in its organization's mission statements and other governing
documents.
(d) Beneficiaries. An organization that participates in the CDBG program shall not in providing
program assistance discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary
based on religion or religious belief.
(e) Structures. CDBG funds may not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of
structures to the extent that those structures are used for explicitly religious activities. CDBG funds
may be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures only to the extent that
those structures are used for conducting eligible activities under this part. Where a structure is used
for both eligible and inherently religious activities, CDBG funds may not exceed the cost of those
portions of the acquisition, new construction, or rehabilitation that are attributable to eligible
activities in accordance with the cost accounting requirements applicable to CDBG funds.
Sanctuaries, chapels, or other rooms that a CDBG-funded religious congregation uses as its
principal place of worship, however, are ineligible for CDBG-funded improvements. Disposition
of the real property after the term of the loan or grant, or any change in use of the property during
the term of the grant or loan, is subject to government wide regulations governing real property
disposition (2 CFR part 200).
10. Drug Free Workplace. Subrecipient will provide a drug-free workplace. Subrecipient
shall comply with the Drug -Free Workplace Act of 1988 and implementing regulations in 2 CFR Part

of this Agreement.

Exhibit "E"
CDBG PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Subrecipient, in addition to the terms set forth in the Agreement, shall operate the Project
funded through the City's Community Development Block Grant Program according to
the following guidelines:
1. Any equipment, furnishings and any other usable item purchased with the
City's CDBG Program contribution to Subrecipient for use in the Project shall be kept
on an inventory and shall be made available to the City's Economic Development and
Housing Department for disposition upon termination of the City's CDBG assistance

generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in accordance with 2 CFR part 200.
3. Subrecipient's accounting records must adequately identify the receipt and
expenditure of all CDBG funds for each budget line item. There must be a separate
accounting for each budgetary allocation as approved by the City's Economic
Development and Housing Department. Cash receipts and expenditures from other

as a minimum:
a. Voucher system — All supporting documentation, such as purchase

employment, subsequent pay adjustments, and documentation
supporting leave taken by the employee.

in operating the Project. This applies to part-time as well as full-time
personnel. In addition to the accounting for daily attendance, the type of
leave taken (annual, sick or other), shall be disclosed. Daily attendance
records must support budgetary charges for payroll purposes.
f. Payroll Records — Formal payroll records supporting cash
disbursements to employees shall be maintained. All time sheets or
personnel activity reports must be signed by the employee and the
employee's supervisor. Such records shall disclose each employee's
name, job, title, social security number, date hired, rate of pay, and all
required deductions for tax purposes. Timely payments must be made
of FICA taxes, including the required employer matching costs, and of
income tax withheld from employees. All charges for payroll purposes
shall be in accordance with the Budget submitted to the City's
Economic Development and Housing Department. In addition, salaries
and wages of employees chargeable with more than one (1) grant
program and/or other funding sources will be supported by appropriate
time distribution records. Actual time distribution records shall be
available for review by the Economic Development and Housing
Department at monitoring visits.
g.
Checking Accounts — A monthly bank reconciliation shall be conducted
by Subrecipient. All checks, stubs, etc. shall be pre -numbered and

subsidiary records to control all CDBG program project property and
equipment. Such records shall disclose the acquisition and subsequent
disposition of all property. An annual inventory should be conducted
and the books should reflect the actual value of property on hand at the
end of the year.
5. Subrecipient should maintain records in an orderly manner, with separate
identification for different Federal fiscal periods. Records must be protected from
fire or other perils, and if stored in a location other than the project site, shall be
readily accessible to the City's Economic Development and Housing Department
staff, the Inspector General, and HUD officials and others who may be authorized

Exhibit "I"
EOUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CLAUSE FOR SUBRECIPIENTS AND THEIR
CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
STANDARD SOLICITATION FOR BID AND CONTRACT LANGUAGE
A. Equal Opportunity Clause:
Subrecipient agrees that it will incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction
work, or modification thereof, as defined in the regulation of the Secretary of Labor 41 CFR Chapter 60, which is
paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the Federal Government or borrowed on the credit of the
Federal Government pursuant to a grant, contract, loan insurance, or guarantee or undertaken pursuant to any
Federal Program involving such grant, contract, loan insurance, or guarantee, the following equal opportunity
clause:
1. The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because
of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure
that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard
to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited
to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available
to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions
of this nondiscrimination clause.
2. The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by on or behalf of
the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
3. The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which the
contractor has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to
be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's
commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places
available to employees and applicants for employment.
4. The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965,
and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
5. The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant
thereto, and will permit access to its books, records, and accounts by the administering agency
and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules,
regulations, and orders.
6. In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the discrimination clauses of this contract or
with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or
suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further government
contracts or Federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized
in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and
remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rules,
regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

CDBG-CV - TA to Micro & SBO Page 39
DocuSign Envelope ID: 662D7594-0F61-4DB9-AA81-2FD587D23458
7. The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1) and
the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (7) in every subcontract or purchase order unless
exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to Section 504
of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon
each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract
or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions,
including sanctions for noncompliance; provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes
involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such
direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into
such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
8. The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with
respect to its own employment practices when it participates in Federally assisted construction
work; provided, that if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above
equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality, or subdivision of such
government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.
9. The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and
the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the
equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor,
that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they
may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the
administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing
compliance.
10. The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract
modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred
from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, government contracts and Federally assisted
construction contracts, pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and
penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and
subcontractors by the administering agency of the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart
D of the Executive Order. In addition, the appliance agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply
with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions:
cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee);
refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to
which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been
received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal
proceedings.

SECTION 3 ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
SECTION 3 CLAUSE
A. The work to be performed under this contract is on a project assisted under a program providing direct
Federal financial assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("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. §1701u. The purpose of section 3 is to ensure that to the greatest extent feasible, opportunities
for training and employment be given to low income residents of the Project area and contracts for work
in connection with the Project be awarded to business concerns which are located in or owned in
substantial part by persons residing in the area of the Project.
B. The parties to this contract will comply with the provisions of said Section 3 and the regulations issued
pursuant thereto by the Secretary of HUD set forth in 24 CFR Part 135, and all applicable rules and orders
of the Department issued there under as evidenced by the execution of this contract. The parties to this
contract certify and agree that they are under no contractual agreement or other disability which would
prevent them from complying with these requirements.
C. Subrecipient will send to each labor organization or representative of workers with which it has a
collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, if any, a notice advising the said labor
organization or workers' representative of his commitments under this Section 3 Clause and shall post
copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment or
training. The notice shall describe the Section 3 preference, shall set forth minimum number and job titles
subject to hire, availability of apprenticeship, and training positions, the qualifications for each, the name
and location of the persons taking applications for each of the positions, and the anticipated date the work
shall begin.
D. Subrecipient will include this Section 3 Clause in every subcontract for work in connection with the
Project and will, at the direction of the applicant for or recipient of Federal financial assistance, take
appropriate action pursuant to the subcontract upon a finding that Subrecipient is in violation of the
regulations issued by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, 24 CFR Part 135. Subrecipient
will not subcontract with any agency where it has notice or knowledge that the latter has been found in
violation of regulations under 24 CFR Part 135, and will not let any subcontract unless the agency has
first provided it with a preliminary statement of ability to comply with the requirements of these
regulations.
E. Subrecipient will certify that any vacant employment positions, including training positions, that are filled
(1) after the contractor is selected but before the contract is executed, and (2) with persons other than
those to whom the regulations of 24 CFR part 135 require employment opportunities to be directed, were
not filled to circumvent the contractor's obligations under 24 CFR part 135.
Compliance with the provisions of Section 3, the regulations set forth in 24 CFR Part 135, and all
applicable rules and orders of the Department issued there under prior to the execution of the contract
shall be a condition of the Federal financial assistance provided to the Project, binding upon the applicant
or recipient for such assistance, its successors and assigns. Failure to fulfill these requirements shall
subject the applicant or recipient, its subrecipients, and its successors, and assigns to those sanctions
specified by the CDBG Program Agreement or contract through which Federal assistance is provided,
and to such sanctions as are specified by 24 CFR Part 135, which include termination of this Agreement
for default and debarment and suspension from future HUD -assisted contracts.

AFFIDAVIT
Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA)
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) was signed on September
26, 2006. The FFATA legislation requires information on federal awards (federal financial assistance
and expenditures) be made available to the public via a single, searchable website, which is
www.USASpending.gov.
The FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) is the reporting tool Federal prime awardees
(i.e. prime contractors and prime grants recipients) use to capture and report subaward and executive
compensation data regarding their first-tier subawards to meet the FFATA reporting requirements. Prime
contract awardees will report against sub -contracts awarded and prime grant awardees will report against
sub -grants awarded. The sub -award information entered in FSRS will then be displayed on
www.USASpending.gov associated with the prime award furthering Federal spending transparency.
The Transparency Act requires information disclosure concerning entities receiving Federal financial
assistance through Federal awards such as Federal contracts, sub -contracts, grants, and sub -grants.
Specifically, the Transparency Act's section 2(b)(1) requires the City to provide the following
information about each Federal award:
• Name of the entity receiving the award;
• Amount of the award;
• Information on the award including transaction type,
• Location of the entity receiving the award and primary location of performance under the award;
• Unique identifier of the entity receiving the award and the parent entity of the recipient;
• Names and total compensation of the five most highly compensated officers of the entity if the entity
in the preceding fiscal year received 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues in Federal awards; and
$25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal awards; and the public does not have access to this
information about the compensation of the senior executives of the entity through periodic reports filed under
section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. §§ 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
