§ 580.3 Deadline for city to obligate grant funds.

Model cities grant funds must be obligated under contracts between the city and third parties (i.e. operating agencies and contractors) or under formal cooperation agreements between the City Demonstration Agency and other city departments on or prior to September 30, 1975, except for program administration. Any grant funds not so obligated by that date will be recaptured by HUD. Any grant funds

which become de-obligated after the obligation deadline date, may be reprogrammed into previously approved projects and activities or into program administration.

§ 580.4 Deadline for completion of model cities grant assistance to CCDP.

The cost of providing such staff may be paid either with model cities grant funds on an 80-20 percent basis or with other funds at the option of the city. If the city elects to continue to pay for such staff with model cities grant funds, such funds should be budgeted for program administration, in order that grant funds will be available to pay staff expenses until all HUD audit findings have been resolved.

(b) Capital projects and relocation activities. Grant funds for completion of capital projects and relocation activities shall be obligated under contracts between the city and third parties or under formal cooperation agreements between the City Demonstration Agency and other city departments on or prior to September 30, 1975 (see § 580.3).

In order to facilitate the establishment of a grant assistance completion deadline when there are projects and activities, not subject to paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) of this section, which involve longer term contractual obligations than other projects and activities, HUD Regional Administrators may allow additional exceptions to the grant assistance completion deadline. Grant funds for projects and activities excepted from the deadline by HUD Regional Administrators shall be obligated under contracts between the city and third parties or under formal cooperation agreements between the City Demonstration Agency and other city departments on or prior to September 30, 1975 (see § 580.3).
