performance under this Agreement. Penalties may be imposed for failure to implement or to make
acceptable progress on such corrective action plans.
In order to effectively enforce COUNTY Resolution No. 2013-228, CHS has adopted an escalation
policy to ensure continued compliance by Subrecipients, Developers, or any entity receiving grant

the COUNTY within 15 days following issuance of the report.
• Any pay requests that have been submitted to the COUNTY for payment will
be held until the corrective action plan has been submitted.
• CHS will be available to provide Technical Assistance (TA) to the
SUBRECIPIENT, as needed, in order to correct the noncompliance issue.
2. If SUBRECIPIENT fails to submit the corrective action plan to the COUNTY in a
timely manner, the COUNTY may require a portion of the awarded grant amount
be returned to the COUNTY.
• The COUNTY may require upwards of 5 percent of the award amount be
returned to the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SUBRECIPIENT may be denied future consideration as set forth in
Resolution No. 2013-228.

or establishing the relationship of employer/employee between the parties. The SUBRECIPIENT
shall at all times remain an "independent contractor" with respect to the services to be performed
under this Agreement. The COUNTY shall be exempt from payment of all Unemployment
Compensation, FICA, retirement, life and/or medical insurance, and Workers' Compensation

The COUNTY or SUBRECIPIENT may amend this Agreement, at any time, provided that such
amendments make specific reference to this Agreement, and are executed in writing, signed by a
duly authorized representative of each organization, and approved by the COUNTY'S governing

implemented in full compliance with all of HUD's rules and regulations and any agreement
between COUNTY and HUD governing CDBG funds pertaining to this Agreement. In the event
of curtailment or non -production of said federal funds, or the reduction of funds awarded by HUD
to Collier County, to a level determined by the County Manager to be insufficient to adequately
administer the project, the financial sources necessary to continue to pay the SUBRECIPIENT all
or any portion of the funds will not be available. In either event, the COUNTY may terminate this

agents, officers, servants, employees, contractors, patrons, guests, clients, licensees, invitees, or
any persons acting under the direction, control, or supervision of the SUBRECIPIENT in the
performance of this Agreement. This indemnification obligation shall not be construed to negate,
abridge, or reduce any other rights or remedies, which otherwise may be available to an indemnified
party or person described in this paragraph. The SUBRECIPIENT shall pay all claims and losses
of any nature whatsoever in connection therewith and shall defend all suits in the name of the
COUNTY and shall pay all costs (including attorney's fees) and judgments which may issue there-
on. This Indemnification shall survive the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement. This
section does not pertain to any incident arising from the sole negligence of COUNTY. The
foregoing indemnification shall not constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity beyond the limits
set forth in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. This section shall survive the expiration of termination
of this Agreement.
3.7 GRANTEE RECOGNITION/SPONSORSHIPS
The SUBRECIPIENT agrees that all notices, informational pamphlets, press releases,
advertisements, descriptions of the sponsorships of the Program, research reports, and similar

either the COUNTY or the SUBRECIPIENT, in whole or in part, by setting forth the reasons for
such termination, the effective date, and, in the case of partial terminations, the portion to be
terminated. However, if in the case of a partial termination, the COUNTY determines that the
remaining portion of the award will not accomplish the purpose for which the award was made, the
COUNTY may terminate the award in its entirety.
The following actions or inactions by SUBRECIPIENT shall constitute a Default under this
Agreement, in compliance with 2 CFR 200, Appendix II (A):

termination (or expiration) and any accounts receivable attributable to the use of CDBG funds, per

Community Development Block Grant (24 CFR 570 et seq.).
3.12 PURCHASING

materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of completion. Contract
administration shall be handled by the SUBRECIPIENT and monitored by CHS, which shall have
access to all records and documents related to the project.
3.13 PROGRAM GENERATED INCOME
No Program Income is anticipated. In the event Program Income is derived from the use of CDBG
funds disbursed under this Agreement, such Program Income shall be utilized by the
SUBRECIPIENT for CDBG-eligible activities, approved by COUNTY. Any "Program Income"
(as such term is defined under applicable Federal regulations) gained from any activity of the
SUBRECIPIENT funded by CDBG funds shall be reported to the COUNTY through an annual
program income re -use plan, utilized by the SUBRECIPIENT accordingly, and shall be in
compliance with 2 CFR 200.307 and 24 CFR 570.503(c) in the operation of the Program. When
program income is generated by an activity that is only partially assisted with CDBG funds,
the income shall be prorated to reflect the percentage of CDBG funds used. In the event there
is a program income balance at the end of the Program Year, such balance shall revert to the
COUNTY's Community Block Grant Program, for further reallocation.
Public Facilities and Improvements: Public facilities that are acquired, constructed, rehabilitated,
or otherwise improved with CDBG funds are subject to this requirement. This includes parks,
libraries, community centers, and any other facility whose primary purpose is a public one. For
RURAL NEIGHBORHOODS, INCORPORATED
CD20-01
Esperanza Community Center Page 17
#tJ
these facilities, program income is the income generated by the use of the facility, less the operating
costs associated with generating the income. The COUNTY considers utilities, property insurance,
and facility maintenance to be operating costs that should be subtracted from revenue to determine
net program income. For each funded project, the SUBRECIPIENT must submit a list of proposed
costs incidental to the generation of the program income for the COUNTY's approval.
Additionally, real property under the SUBRECIPIENT'S control that was acquired or improved,
in whole or in part, with CDBG funds shall be used to meet one of the CDBG National Objectives
pursuant to 24 CFR 570.208, during the continued use period, as referenced in section 3.14 (Grant
Closeout Procedures) of this Agreement. If the SUBRECIPIENT sells, transfers, disposes of, or
otherwise fails to continue to use the CDBG-assisted real property in a manner that meets a CDBG
National Objective, the SUBRECIPIENT shall pay the COUNTY an amount equal to a percentage
of the current fair market value of the property, after subtracting disposal costs. Such percentage
shall have as its basis, the percentage of the appraised value attributable to CDBG and non-CDBG
funds expended for the original acquisition of, or improvement to, the property under the terms of
this Agreement. Such payment shall constitute program income to the COUNTY.
3.14 GRANT CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES
SUBRECIPIENT's obligation to the COUNTY shall not end until all closeout requirements are
completed. The SUBRECIPIENT may close out the project with the COUNTY after the five (5)
year continued use period has been met (for public services, "after the expiration of the
Agreement"). The continued use period shall commence with the later of the SUBRECIPIENT
meeting the National Objective or the recording of lien and/or deed restriction documentation).
Activities during this closeout period shall include, but are not limited to making final payments,
disposing of program assets (including the return of all unused materials, equipment, program
income balances, and receivable accounts to the COUNTY), and determining the custodianship of
records. In addition to the records retention outlined in Part 2.2, the SUBRECIPIENT shall comply
with Section 119.021, Florida Statutes regarding records maintenance, preservation, and retention.
A conflict between state and federal law records retention requirements will result in the more
stringent law being applied, such that the record must be held for the longer duration. Any balance
of unobligated funds that have been advanced or paid must be returned to the COUNTY. Any funds
paid exceeding the amount SUBRECIPIENT is entitled to under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement must be refunded to the COUNTY. SUBRECIPIENT shall also produce records and
information complying with. Section 215.97, Florida Single Audit Act. Closeout procedures must
take place in accordance with 2 CFR 200.343.
3.15 OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS AND CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE

to, discrimination under any activity carried out by the performance of this Agreement on the basis
of race, color, disability, national origin, religion, age, familial status, or sex. Upon receipt of
evidence of such discrimination, the COUNTY shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

3 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1968.
3.16 OPPORTUNITTIES FOR SMALL AND MINORITY/WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES
The SUBRECIPIENT will use its best efforts to afford small businesses, minority business
enterprises, and women's business enterprises the maximum practicable opportunity to participate
in the performance of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term "small business" means
a business that meets the criteria set forth in section 3(a) of the Small Business Act, as amended
(15 U.S.C. 632), and "minority and women's business enterprise" means a business at least 51
percent owned and controlled by minority group members or women. For the purpose of this
definition, "minority group members" are Afro-Americans, Spanish-speaking, Spanish surnamed
or Spanish -heritage Americans, Asian -Americans, and American Indians. The SUBRECIPIENT
may rely on written representations by businesses regarding their status as minority and female
business enterprises in lieu of an independent investigation.

income is defined under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments. Details for calculating the
Annual Income are contained in 24 CFR 5.609, with practical instructions contained in HUD

County Qualification Program. The project shall assist beneficiaries as defined above for the time
period designated in Exhibit C of this Agreement.

the award of funds. The Affirmative Action will need to be updated throughout the continued use
period and must be submitted to the COUNTY within 30 days of update/modification.
3.19 CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The SUBRECIPIENT covenants that no person under its employ, who presently exercises any
functions or responsibilities in connection with the Project, has any personal financial interest,
direct or indirect, in the Project areas or any parcels therein, which would conflict in any manner
or degree with the performance of this Agreement, and that no person having any conflict of interest
shall be employed by or subcontracted by SUBRECIPIENT. The SUBRECIPIENT covenants that
it will comply with all provisions of 24 CFR 570.611 "Conflict of Interest", 2 CFR 200.318, and
the State and County statutes, regulations, ordinances, or resolutions governing conflicts of interest.
The SUBRECIPIENT will notify the COUNTY, in writing, and seek COUNTY approval prior to
entering into any contract with an entity owned in whole or in part by a covered person, or an entity
owned or controlled in whole or in part by the SUBRECIPIENT. The COUNTY may review the
proposed contract to ensure that the contractor is qualified, and the costs are reasonable. Approval
of an identity of interest contract will be in the COUNTY's sole discretion. This provision is not
intended to limit SUBRECIPIENT's ability to self -manage the projects using its own employees.
Any possible conflict of interest on' the part of the SUBRECIPIENT, its employees, or its
contractors shall be disclosed, in writing, to CHS provided however, that this paragraph shall be
interpreted in such a manner so as not to unreasonably impede the statutory requirement that
maximum opportunity be provided for employment of and participation of low- and moderate -
income residents of the project target area.
3.20 RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
CDBG funds may be used by religious organizations or on property owned by religious
organizations only in accordance with requirements set in Section 24 CFR 570.2000). The
SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with First Amendment Church/State principles as follows:

religion and will not limit employment or give preference in employment to persons on the
basis of religion.

religion and will not limit such services or give preference to persons on the basis of
religion.

religious beliefs, provided it does not use direct CDBG funds to support any inherently
religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytizing.
D. The funds shall not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures
to the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities. 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, construction, or rehabilitation that are
attributable to eligible activities in accordance with the cost accounting requirements
applicable to CDBG funds in this part. 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.
3.21 INCIDENT REPORTING
If services to clients are to be provided under this Agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT and any
subcontractors shall report to the COUNTY knowledge or reasonable suspicion of abuse, neglect,
or exploitation of a child, aged person, or disabled adult.
3.22 SEVERABILITY
