2.5 CORRECTIVE ACTION
Corrective action plans may be required for noncompliance, nonperformance, or unacceptable
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 Sponsors, Developers, or any entity
receiving grant funds from CHS. The escalation policy for noncompliance is as follows:
A. Initial noncompliance may result in Findings or Concerns being issued to the SPONSOR,
which will require a corrective action plan to be submitted to CHS within 15 days following
issuance of the report.
• Any pay requests that have been submitted to CHS for payment will be held until the
corrective action plan has been submitted.
• CHS will be available to provide Technical Assistance (TA) to the SPONSOR, as
needed, in order to correct the noncompliance issue.
B. If the SPONSOR fails to submit the corrective action plan in a timely manner, CHS may
require a po1iion of the awarded grant amount be returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require upwards of 5 percent of the award amount be returned to the
COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SPONSOR may be denied future consideration as set forth in Resolution No.
2013-228
C. If SPONSOR remains noncompliant or repeats an issue that was previously corrected and
has been informed by CHS of its substantial noncompliance by certified mail, CHS may
require a portion of the awarded grant amount, or the amount of the investment for acquisition
of the properties conveyed, be returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require upwards of IO percent of the award amount be returned to the
COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
D. If after repeated notification the SPONSOR continues to be substantially noncompliant, CHS
may recommend the Agreement or award be terminated.

[23-SOC-01082]
Page 3685 of 6405
• CHS will make a recommendation to the Board to immediately terminate the
Agreement. The SPONSOR will be required to repay all funds disbursed by the
COUNTY for the project that was terminated. This includes the amount invested by
the COUNTY for the initial acquisition of the properties or other activities.
• The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
If the SPONSOR has multiple agreements with CHS and is found to be noncompliant, the
above sanctions may be imposed across all awards at the Board's discretion.
2.6 REPORTS
Reimbursement may be contingent upon the timely receipt of complete and accurate reports
required by this Agreement, and on the resolution of monitoring findings identified pursuant to
this Agreement, as deemed necessary by the County Manager or designee.
During the term of this Agreement, SPONSOR shall submit quarterly progress reports to the
COUNTY on the 10th day of January, April, July, and October, respectively, for the prior quarter

Corrective action plans may be required for noncompliance, nonperformance, or unacceptable
performance under this Agreement. Penalties may be imposed for failure to implement or make
acceptable progress on such corrective action plans.
To effectively enforce COUNTY Resolution No. 2013-228, CHS has adopted an escalation
policy to ensure continued compliance by Sponsors, Developers, or any entity receiving grant
funds from CHS. The escalation policy for noncompliance is as follows:
A. Initial noncompliance may result in the COUNTY issuing Findings or Concerns to the
SPONSOR, which will require SPONSOR to submit a corrective action plan to CMS within
15 days following issuance of the report.
Any pay requests that have been submitted to CHS for payment will be held until the
corrective action plan has been submitted.
CHS will be available to provide Technical Assistance (TA) to the SPONSOR, as
needed, in order to correct the noncompliance issue.

require a portion of the awarded grant amount be returned to the COUNTY.
CHS may require upwards of 5 percent of the award amount be returned to the
COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
The SPONSOR may be denied future consideration as set forth in Resolution No.
2013-228
C. If SPONSOR remains noncompliant or repeats an issue that was previously corrected and
has been informed by CHS of its substantial noncompliance, by certified mail, CHS may
require a portion of the awarded grant amount or the amount of the investment for acquisition
of the properties conveyed, be returned to the COUNTY.
CHS may require upwards of 10 percent of the award amount be returned to the
COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
D. If after repeated notification the SPONSOR continues to be substantially noncompliant,CHS
may recommend the Agreement or award be terminated.
Collier County Housing Authority

SHIP Rental Rehabilitation Program
Page 3724 of 6405

COUNTY for the terminated project. This includes the amount invested by the
COUNTY for the initial acquisition of the properties or other activities.
The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
If SPONSOR has multiple agreements with CHS and is found to be noncompliant,the above
sanctions may be imposed across all awards at the Board's discretion.

the resolution of monitoring findings identified pursuant to this Agreement,as deemed necessary
by the County Manager or designee.
During the term of this Agreement, SPONSOR shall submit quarterly progress reports to the
COUNTY on the 10th day of January,April,July, and October,respectively, for the prior quarter
period end. As part of the report submitted in October or when final services are delivered,

Collier County Housing Authority
SHRR23-00I 19

the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities. Where a structure

other requirements in conflict herewith. However, this shall not preclude the COUNTY from

determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section or part thereof.
