Van Milligen MCVM:jh Attachment cc: Crenna Brumwell, City Attorney Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Teri Goodmann, Assistant City Manager Alvin Nash, Housing and Community Development Department Director 2 THE CITY OF Dubuque All-America City DUBjJE r Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007•2012•2013 TO: Michael C Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Alvin Nash, Director Housing and Community Development DATE: October 20, 2016 RE: National Disaster Resilience Grant (NDRG) INTRODUCTION The purpose of this memo is to seek City Council authorization to enter a contract with the Iowa Economic Development Authority in order for the City to use $8,900,165 in Community Development Block Grant Program Disaster Recovery funds, awarded as a result of the National Disaster Resiliency Competition (NDRC) grant for the City of Dubuque to operate the Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program (BBHHRP). The BBHHRP is part of the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project and focuses on repairing homes in targeted areas of the Bee Branch Watershed. BACKGROUND In March 2015, the City was part of an Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) Phase I application to the Community Development Block Grant National Disaster Resilience Competition (CDBG-NDRC). The State was invited on to Phase II, the final round of the competition. The City worked with state partners and the Iowa Flood Center throughout the summer and fall to prepare the Phase II application. The competition defined a resilient community as one that is able to resist and rapidly recover from disasters or other shocks with minimal outside assistance. Reducing current and future risk is essential to the long-term vitality, economic well-being, and security of all communities. By identifying future risk and vulnerabilities, resilient recovery planning can maximize preparedness, save lives, and bring benefits to a community long after recovery projects are complete. In January 2016, the HUD National Disaster Resiliency Competition grant awarded the State of Iowa $96.9 million. The City of Dubuque received $31.5 million of this award in Disaster Resiliency funds for the Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program and storm water infrastructure improvements. Of the award, $8.4 million is for a comprehensive BBHHRP designed to help residents address residual impacts from the flooding experienced within the Bee Branch Watershed target areas. DISCUSSION Iowa's application highlights the need to address remaining impacts from the flooding experienced in downtown Dubuque and continuing vulnerabilities to future flooding across the state. The application cites property owners with limited resources, which hinders their ability to perform home maintenance and renovations to decrease environmental health and safety issues from flooding such as dampness and mold growth, electrical hazards, and structural issues. The BBHHRP is outlined to help residents meet unmet structural needs and engagement to empower individuals to be part of the creation of more resilient housing through onsite storm water management principles and sustainable, healthy homes disciplines. The Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) contract for the City's $8,900,165 in CDBG-DR funds for the Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program is attached. The funds are specifically for improvements to homes and support services for residents in assisted homes located in the target area of the Bee Branch Watershed. The housing portion of the Resiliency Grant awarded to the City of Dubuque will include the following components: HOUSING PROJECTS Performing repairs to homes that were damaged in the 2011 flood that includes but is not limited to: Remediation of mold and mildew; replacement of equipment such as hot water heaters, furnaces and electrical panels; basic basement waterproofing; and making a home resilient to run off water and future flooding. We plan to make resilient 320 housing units, which will affect approximately 1 ,120 individuals. • 188 single-family units • 30 duplexes (60 family units) • 28 single-family rental units • 5 Quad-plexes (20 family units) • 4 triplexes (12 family units) • 1-12 unit apartment complex (12 family units) A special feature of the Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program will be the services of a Home Advocate, whose job is to assist family members with information services and options to help them become resilient with regard to health, employment, education, and prevention. IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE The implementation and operational structure of the Resiliency Grant will come under the Department of Housing and Community Development. The Department of Housing and Community Development, under the supervision of Housing Director Alvin Nash, will manage the funding awarded to address the flood damage and increase resiliency for 320 housing units in the Bee Branch Watershed. Because the City of Dubuque will be a subrecipient of the State of Iowa's NDRG award, it is recommended we partner with a Council of Governments (COG) agency to perform certain administrative and service delivery duties that are unique to this type of funding and project delivery. The East Central Intergovernmental Agency, referred to as ECIA, is designated by the state as a COG. The state recommended we engage ECIA to assist with 2 various parts of the Resiliency Grant, specifically developing the administrative plan, implementation of certain CDBG administrative procedures and reporting, the intake verification process, duplication of benefits, relocation services and, when applicable, Davis-Bacon Act requirements. The City of Dubuque will staff the project by hiring two full-time limited term employees. The first full-time employee will be the Project Coordinator, who will oversee the resiliency work on the 320 housing units. The Project Coordinator will work under the supervision of Alvin Nash in the Housing & Community Development Department. The second full-time employee will be the Grant Administrator to process and track the financial requirements of the contract, manage drawdowns, pay subcontractors, manage the budget, assist with A-133 audits and coordinate with ECIA regarding administrative procedures related to our contract. The Resiliency Grant Accountant will report directly to Budget Director, Jenny Larson, in the City Manager's Office, and coordinate with both the Engineering and Housing and Community Development programs. To complete the work related to inspections, work write ups and actual repairs to the homes, the Housing Department will publish a Request for Proposal (RFP). Should the bids the city receives for this work be less than or equal to the cost the city would incur by hiring additional city employees, we will subcontract the work. Otherwise two full-time city inspectors will be hired to complete the work. We will also subcontract the Home Advocate services through an RFP process. ECIA will perform technical duties for both Engineering and the Housing departments and report to the designated personnel in each department. The Home Advocate services and the inspections and rehab contracts will be coordinated by the Resiliency Program Coordinator. The City of Dubuque has made a decision that instead of hiring at least five additional full-time staff it is more prudent to hire critical staff persons and subcontract for the other positions. The subcontracting will do three things: First, reduce the number of full-time additional employees the City has to hire; second, is a cost-effective measure in which to manage the funds; and third, to hire the expertise is critical to the project so that all categories of the program can hit the ground running and reduce time to hire and train specific people to perform housing resiliency work. BUDGET IMPACT The total amount awarded for the Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program is $8,900,165 with an additional $472,500 to help defray administrative costs to implement the project. The budget for each portion of the Resiliency Grant is as follows: Bee Branch Healthy Homes $8,900,165 Administration $472,500 3 Direct City leverage totals $400,000; these funds have already been committed by the Lead and Healthy Homes as follows: Lead and Healthy Homes Program $400,000 REQUESTED ACTION We respectfully request City Council approve implementation of the HUD National Disaster Resiliency Grant contract with the Iowa Economic Development Authority to utilize $8,900,165 in CDBG-NDRC funds for the Healthy Homes Bee Branch Resiliency Program, part of the larger Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project.

(a) WRITING REQUIRED. The Contract may only be amended through written prior approval of the Authority through lowaGrants.gov. Examples of situations where amendments are required include extensions for completion of Project activities, changes to the Project including, but not limited to, alteration of existing approved activities or inclusion of new activities. (b) UNILATERAL MODIFICATION. Notwithstanding paragraph "a" above, the Authority may unilaterally modify the Contract at will in order to accommodate any change in the Act or any change in the interpretation of the Act or any applicable Federal, State or local laws, regulations, rules or policies. A copy of such unilateral modification will be given to the Recipient as an amendment to this Contract. (c) AUTHORITY REVIEW. The Authority will consider whether an amendment request is so substantial as to necessitate reevaluating the Authority's original funding decision on the Project. An amendment will be denied if it substantially alters the circumstances under which the Project funding was originally approved or if it conflicts with the Program Rules. 2.0 AUDIT REQUIREMENTS. (a) SINGLE AUDIT. The Recipient shall ensure that an audit is performed in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendment of 1996; OMB 2 CFR part 200, subpart E; and OMB 2 CFR part 200, subpart F, as applicable, and the Iowa CDBG Management Guide. (b) ADDITIONAL AUDIT. As a condition of the grant to the Recipient, the Authority reserves the right to require the Recipient to submit to a post Project completion audit and review in addition to the audit required above. 3.0 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. The Recipient shall comply with all applicable State and Federal laws, rules, ordinances, regulations and orders including all Federal laws and regulations described in 24 CFR subpart K. 4.0 UNALLOWABLE COSTS. If the Authority determines at any time, whether through monitoring, audit, closeout procedures or by other means or process, that the Recipient has expended funds which are unallowable, the Recipient will be notified of the questioned costs and given an opportunity to justify questioned costs prior to the Authority's final determination of the disallowance of costs. Appeals of any determinations will be handled in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17A, Iowa Code. If it is the Authority's final determination that costs previously paid by the Authority are unallowable under the terms of the Contract, the expenditures will be disallowed and the Recipient shall repay to the Authority any and all disallowed costs. Real property under the Recipient's control in excess of $25,000 and equipment that was acquired or improved in whole or in part with CDBG-NDR funds shall be used to meet one of the National Objectives pursuant to 24 CFR 570.208 until five (5) years after expiration of the Agreement. If Recipient fails to use CDBG-NDR assisted real property that meets a National Objective during the five (5) year period the Recipient shall pay IEDA an amount equal to the current fair market value of the property less any portion of the value attributable to expenditures of non-CDBG-NDR funds for acquisition or improvement to the real property. 5.0 PROGRAM INCOME. All program income, as defined in 2 CFR part 200, subpart E and 24 CFR 570.489, shall be added to the Project "Budget Activity" and used to further eligible Project objectives as defined in the Contract and the "Budget Activity" in the CDBG-NDR Application. Program income not used to further Project objectives will be deducted from the total Project "Budget Activity" for the purpose of determining the amount of reimbursable costs under the Contract. In cases of dispute, final decisions regarding the definition or disposition of program income shall be made by the Authority. 6.0 INTEREST EARNED. To the extent that interest is earned on advances of CDBG-NDR funds, this interest shall be returned to the Authority, except that the Recipient may keep interest amounts of up to $100 per year for administrative expenses. 7.0 SUSPENSION. When the Recipient has failed to comply with the Contract, award conditions or standards, the Authority may, on reasonable notice to the Recipient, suspend the Contract and withhold future payments, or prohibit the Recipient from incurring additional obligations of CDBG-NDR funds. Suspension may continue until the Recipient completes the corrective action as required by the Authority. The Authority may allow such necessary and proper costs which the Document Prepared By: Ann Schmidt CDBG NDR Housing Contract Format Revised October 2016 Contract Number 13-NDRH-001 Page 20 of 26 Recipient could not reasonably avoid during the period of suspension provided the Authority concludes that such costs meet the provisions of HUD regulations issued pursuant to OMB 2 CFR part 200, subpart E. 8.0 TERMINATION. (a) FOR CAUSE. The Authority may terminate the Contract in whole, or in part, whenever the Authority determines that the Recipient has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the Contract. (b) FOR CONVENIENCE. The Parties may terminate the Contract in whole, or in part, when all parties agree that the continuation of the Project would not produce beneficial results commensurate with the future disbursement of funds. (c) DUE TO REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF CDBG-NDR FUNDING. At the discretion of the Authority, the Contract may be terminated in whole, or in part, if there is a reduction or termination of CDBG-NDR Federal block grant funds to the State. 9.0 PROCEDURES UPON TERMINATION. (a) NOTICE. The Authority shall provide written notice to the Recipient of the decision to terminate, the reason(s) for the termination, and the effective date of the termination. If there is a partial termination due to a reduction in funding, the notice will set forth the change in funding and the changes in the approved "Budget Activity". The Recipient shall not incur new obligations beyond the effective date and shall cancel as many outstanding obligations as possible. The Authority's share of noncancellable obligations which the Authority determines were properly incurred prior to notice of cancellation will be allowable costs. (b) RIGHTS IN PRODUCTS. All finished and unfinished documents, data, reports or other material prepared by the Recipient under the Contract shall, at the Authority's option, become the property of the Authority. (c) RETURN OF FUNDS. The Recipient shall return to the Authority all unencumbered funds within one week of receipt of the notice of termination. Any costs previously paid by the Authority which are subsequently determined to be unallowable through audit, monitoring, or closeout procedures shall be returned to the Authority within thirty (30) days of the disallowance. 10.0 ENFORCEMENT EXPENSES. The Recipient shall pay upon demand any and all reasonable fees and expenses of the Authority, including the fees and expenses of its attorneys, experts and agents, in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Authority under this Contract. 11.0 INDEMNIFICATION. The Recipient shall indemnify and hold harmless the Authority, its officers and employees, from and against any and all losses, accruing or resulting from any and all claims subcontractors, laborers and any other person, firm or corporation furnishing or supplying work, services, materials or supplies in connection with the performance of this Contract, and from any and all claims and losses accruing or resulting to any person, firm or corporation who may be injured or damaged by the Recipient in the performance of this Contract. 12.0 CONFLICT OF INTEREST. (a) GENERAL. Except for the use of CDBG-NDR funds to pay salaries and other related administrative or personnel costs, no persons identified in paragraph (b) below who exercise or have exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to CDBG-NDR assisted activities or who are in a position to participate in a decision making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities may obtain a personal or financial interest or benefit from a CDBG-NDR assisted activity or have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement with respect thereto, or the proceeds thereunder, either for themselves or those with whom they have family or business ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter.

The Authority has zero tolerance for the commission or concealment of acts of fraud, waste, or abuse. Allegations of such acts will be investigated and pursued to their logical conclusion, including legal action where warranted. Document Prepared By: Ann Schmidt CDBG NDR hlousing Contract Format Revised October 2016 Contract Number 13-NDRH-001 Page 24 of 26 ATTACHMENT D Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program Guidelines CDBG-NDR (National Disaster Resiliency) Funds Program Overview: • The Bee Branch Healthy Homes Resiliency Program (BBHHRP) is designed to support residential properties with flood damage from the 2011 storms in the low to moderate income areas of Dubuque that are strategically aligned with and extending to and from the Bee Branch Creek Restoration Project, in accordance with the application for and award of HUD National Disaster Resiliency Funds. • The BBHHRP is eligible for NDR funding as a result of the presidentially declared Disaster DR-4018, Severe Storms and Flooding with an Incident Period of July 27-29, 2011. • All activities funded through this program shall comply with these guidelines, the City of Dubuque's Administrative Plan and IEDA's Management Guide and any other guidance provided by IEDA. • Participating properties will be located within the Flood Resiliency Eligible Area (see attached map), will be flood impacted, and will be determined eligible to participate by the City of Dubuque. The City of Dubuque's Administrative Plan will provide a written description of the Flood Resiliency Eligible Area in the form of neighborhood name or streets boarding the area. • For the purposes of this program, a "Disaster Assisted Unit" shall be defined as a residential unit occupied by a household, either single family as a single unit, or multiple units included in a multi-family complex. The unit must be eligible to participate in the BBHHRP, must be located within the eligible area, and must be occupied by an LMI qualifying household or at least 51% of LMI qualifying households in a rental complex. The owner of the property (either single family owner occupied or landlord) is not required to have been the owner of record at the time of the 2011 disaster, as all rehabilitation need will be documented as of 2016, all repair work will be completed in a way that both recovers the unit(s) from disaster impact and makes the unit(s) more resilient against future flooding, and all invested funds will be secured by a lien on the property documenting the terms of the forgivable loan. • The form of assistance shall be limited to forgivable loans. All construction costs associated with a unit will be protected in the form of a mortgage lien on the property in the amount of the expended construction expenses (loan amount) for repair/rehabilitation/resiliency improvements. The mortgage lien shall include the covenants and restrictions as established by these guidelines and the Administrative Plan and shall be enforced for the term of the loan — five years from the date of filing. Forgivable loans under this activity must be 5-year receding. Receding equally 20% per year after the mortgage lien is filed. Payback of CDBG-NDRC funds remaining, or the total of the net proceeds of the sale, whichever is less, will be required if the assisted property owner sells, vacates, or abandons the property any time within the 5 year period, unless such transfer or sale meets the requirements of these guidelines specific to Rental Rehab (activities 733 &734). All activities undertaken must meet the CDBG National Objective of LMH Housing Repair/Rehabilitation activities will benefit only low and moderate income (LMI) persons or households (at or below 80% of median family income). The City of Dubuque will develop application materials for residents to qualify to participate in the program through their Administration Plan. No benefits to structures located within the 100-year floodplain will be allowed, unless the activity meets all HUD environmental requirements, all applicable flood mitigation design standards, and the property is insured by Federal Flood Insurance. 24 CFR 58.6. applies to buildings renovated in a 100 year floodplain. Such buildings must maintain flood insurance on the property. Section 102(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 4106), requires that recipients of financial assistance maintain flood insurance. The rule for loans included in that section applies to deferred payment loans, i.e. flood insurance is to be maintained for the full term of the loan. The City shall, through their Administrative Plan, establish a procedure for assisting applicants with an understanding of the potential cost of Flood Insurance prior to participating in the program. • All units to be rehabilitated must be both financially and structurally feasible to rehabilitate. The City of Dubuque shall establish parameters for making this determination in their Administrative Plan. • For purposes of the CDBG-NDR funds, all technical services related costs (also known as soft costs; carrying costs; direct administration costs) will be considered as "project delivery costs". Project delivery costs, although administrative in nature, must be considered as project costs attributable to each housing unit within the housing activities undertaken per unit/address and accounted for in this manner. Overall, project delivery costs need to be reasonable, documented and cannot exceed $15,000 per housing unit. All project delivery costs must be supported with backup documentation to justify their expenditure. Project Delivery may include: o Site Specific Environmental Review, such as Section 106 documentation o Relocation Expenditures per unit as applicable o Lead testing and Lead hazard control o City of Dubuque Staff time for inspecting participating units, developing work scopes, o Home Advocate o Intake Verification of applicants o Lien Development and Filing Document Prepared By: Ann Schmidt CDBG NDR Housing Contract Format Revised October 2016 Contract Number 13-NDRH-001 Page 25 of 26 Administration expenses are all expenses associated with the implementation of the BBHHRP as a whole, including overall environmental review and publications, developing application materials and program procedures, office supplies, office space, etc. These expenses are NOT considered project delivery and should be drawn out of admin (Activity 181) funding and not program funding. • While there is no specific funding cap for construction activities, the CDBG-NDR funds are subject to the requirements of the Federal Lead Safe Housing regulations, impacting all dwelling units that were constructed prior to January 1, 1978. This will limit rehabilitation hard costs at an amount not-to-exceed $24,999 in federal funds (CDBG- NDR and/or HUD Healthy Homes) in order to work under Lead Safe Interim Controls, unless the property qualifies for an exemption under 24CFR35.115 or the contractor implements full lead abatement in accordance with the Federal Lead Safe Housing regulations. • It is the IEDA's goal to utilize the CDBG-NDR funds in a manner that results in green-rehab sustainable structures for all rehab/resiliency work. All project must utilize the HUD CPD Green Building Checklist as enhanced by IEDA. • No duplication of benefits (DOB) will be allowed. Prior to assisting properties, IEDA will need to determine and verify any monies received from any other federal or state financial resources providing disaster recovery funding and any insurance settlement payments provided to the rental property owner, and adjust the CDBG-NDR amount and project scope accordingly. For additional information about DOB, See IEDA provided DOB Guidance. Reporting: • The CDBG-NDR program requires the documentation of Outcome Values associated with this rehabilitation program. The City of Dubuque will document through lowagrants.gov completion of the following annual reports: o Environmental Outcome Value will be documented through an annual reporting of the number of asthma cases documented through the schools. On or before December 31st of each reporting year, beginning in 2017, the City of Dubuque will upload to iowagrants.gov a summary report including the name of each school included in the analysis, the student population of each school for that school year, and the number of asthma cases reported. o Economic Outcome Value will be documented through an annual reporting of the assessed value of all properties participating in the CDBG-NDR program. On the 1st of October of each reporting year, IEDA will send the City of Dubuque a report including all properties that were completed within the reporting year, ending September 30th of each year, and the baseline 2016 property value collected through iowagrants.gov. The City will then provide the current property value at the time of reporting, and upload the report no later than October 15th. Single Family Owner Occupied Resiliency Rehab (Activity 971): • Eligible property owners will be income qualified to ensure that the persons or households receiving the benefit of Resiliency Rehab/Repair are qualified at or below the CDBG Median Income Levels for 80% of median family income (MFI). • Assistance to owner occupied single family homes will be limited to forgivable loans. Forgivable loans under this activity must be at least 5-year receding. Receding equally 20% per year after the mortgage lien is filed. Forgivable loans must be secured as a mortgage lien on the assisted property. Payback of CDBG-NDRC funds remaining, or the total of the net proceeds of the sale, whichever is less, will be required if the assisted property owner sells, vacates, rents or abandons the property any time within the 5 year period. • Beneficiaries of this activity must be the owner of record of the property to be assisted (ownership type is limited to fee simple title or 99-year leasehold ownership). Land sales contracts are not typically eligible, however such contracts may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by IEDA and the City of Dubuque. • Housing repair/rehabilitation assistance is allowed only on the beneficiary's primary residence. The City of Dubuque shall document eligibility. Rental Resiliency Rehab (Activity 733 & 734): • Rental Rehabilitation is limited to projects of 12 units or fewer. In cases of properties with eight units or more, Davis- Bacon regulations will be followed. • This activity is available only to rental property owners that agree to comply with all federal, state and local requirements (including, but not limited to: these guidelines; the forgivable mortgage lien and agreement for covenants and restrictions for rental rehabilitation; Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity requirements; accessibility for persons with disabilities; procurement and contracting requirements; local rental housing codes and requirements; etc.). • Eligible properties within proposed projects will be limited to those that are entirely (100%) residential rental units. No mixed-use types of properties will be eligible under this activity. • Assistance to rental single or multi-family will be limited to forgivable loans. Forgivable loans under this activity must be 5-year receding. Receding equally 20% per year after the mortgage lien is filed. Payback of CDBG-NDRC funds remaining, or the total of the net proceeds of the sale, whichever is less, will be required if the assisted property Document Prepared By: Ann Schmidt CDBG NOR Housing Contract Format Revised October 2016 Contract Number 13-NDRH-001 Page 26 of 26 owner sells, vacates, or abandons the property any time within the 5 year period. Upon mutual agreement and consent between the IEDA, the recipient and the originally assisted rental property owner, the assisted rental project may be sold or transferred without the remaining amount of the loan repaid, but, only if the purchaser agrees to continue with the terms of the forgivable loan agreement and the covenants and restrictions, to complete the remainder of the five-year term of the loan. • CDBG National Objective - All assisted rental properties must meet the national objective of "Primarily benefits persons of low and moderate income — Housing". Effectively, this means that at least 51% of the units in an assisted property must be occupied by persons or households whose incomes are at or below 80% of the area median income limits (LMI) for the term of the loan. o In a one unit project — the one unit must be made available to and occupied by a LMI tenant. o In a two unit project — one of the two units must be made available to and occupied by a LMI tenant. o Projects of three or more units — 51% of all units in the project (rounded up to the nearest whole number) must be made available to and occupied by a LMI tenant (e.g., in a four unit project, three units must be made available to and occupied by LMI tenants).

Date Instructions for EPA FORM 4700-4 (Rev. 06/2014) General Recipients of Federal financial assistance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must comply with the following statutes and regulations. Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 provides that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The Act goes on to explain that the statute shall not be construed to authorize action with respect to any employment practice of any employer, employment agency, or labor organization (except where the primary objective of the Federal financial assistance is to provide employment). Section 13 of the 1972 Amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act provides that no person in the United States shall on the ground of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended. Employment discrimination on the basis of sex is prohibited in all such programs or activities. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 provides that no otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States shall solely by reason of disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Employment discrimination on the basis of disability is prohibited in all such programs or activities. The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 provides that no person on the basis of age shall be excluded from participation under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Employment discrimination is not covered. Age discrimination in employment is prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act administered by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 provides that no person in the United States on the basis of sex shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Employment discrimination on the basis of sex is prohibited in all such education programs or activities. Note: an education program or activity is not limited to only those conducted by a formal institution. 40 C.F.R. Part 5 implements Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. 40 C.F.R. Part 7 implements Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 13 of the 1972 Amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Executive Order 13166 (E.O. 13166) entitled; "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency" requires Federal agencies work to ensure that recipients of Federal financial assistance provide meaningful access to their LEP applicants and beneficiaries. Items "Applicant" means any entity that files an application or unsolicited proposal or otherwise requests EPA assistance. 40 C.F.R. §§ 5.105, 7.25. "Recipient" means any entity, other than applicant, which will actually receive EPA assistance. 40 C.F.R. §§ 5.105, 7.25. "Civil rights lawsuits and administrative complaints" means any lawsuit or administrative complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability pending or decided against the applicant and/or entity which actually benefits from the grant, but excluding employment complaints not covered by 40 C.F.R. Parts 5 and 7. For example, if a city is the named applicant but the grant will actually benefit the Department of Sewage, civil rights lawsuits involving both the city and the Department of Sewage should be listed. "Civil rights compliance review" means any review assessing the applicant's and/or recipient's compliance with laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. Submit this form with the original and required copies of applications, requests for extensions, requests for increase of funds, etc. Updates of information are all that are required after the initial application submission. If any item is not relevant to the project for which assistance is requested, write "NA" for "Not Applicable." In the event applicant is uncertain about how to answer any questions, EPA program officials should be contacted for clarification. * Note: Signature appears in the Approval Section of the EPA Comprehensive Administrative Review For Grants/Cooperative Agreements & Continuation/Supplemental Awards form.
