e. 'r $57,711.15 in funds covered by this Agreement will be made available to City for commitment to project only after the project application is received and approved by the County for an eligible project. Project funds will be made available on a rolling, project by project basis. In the event that HUD reduces the HOME allocation to the Consortium, or the City does not meet any deadline for commitment or expenditure of funds as established by the County, the City's allocation will be reduced accordingly. 3. As a subrecipient, City is responsible for identifying, selecting and implementing HOME-eligible activities within its jurisdiction. This includes contracting for the performance of these activities with other entities for HOME-eligible activities, and maintaining the required records to conform to HUD and HOME program standards. In its role as subrecipient, City is responsible for fulfilling all of the requirements of the HOME program and for ensuring that HOME requirements are fulfilled by its contractors, as applicable. 4. Any HOME eligible activities that the City desires to engage in must be approved by County in advance of any commitment of funds from the City to another entity. The City is responsible for submission of an Application to the County. County approval will be evidenced by a project approval letter to the City and a subsequent amendment of this Agreement to add funding for approved project(s). County will notify City of any disapproved Applications or modifications needed for approval. 5. As a Subrecipient, the City is responsible for conducting the environmental review of any project or program assisted through this contract in compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and 24 CFR 58 and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (the "Environmental Review"). The City shall submit the NEPA Environmental Review (ER) to the County as the Grantee and Responsible Entity. The County shall review the documents and may require changes or modifications by the City to the ER and require the City to resubmit and publish the final version. Once the County has reviewed and approved, the ER will be submitted to HUD for Authority to use Grant Funds. HUD must give formal acceptance, prior to City entering into a commitment of HOME funds for the subject activity. 6. After project or program approval by County and HUD approval of the Environmental Review, City may enter into a formal written agreement committing the HOME funds. City agrees that any HOME-eligible activities funded through this Agreement shall be confirmed with a written contract that contains the provisions specified in 24 CFR Part 92.504. In addition, any contract made between City and another entity for the use of HOME funds pursuant to this Agreement shall comply with all applicable HOME regulations and shall be enforced by deed restriction, where applicable. The form of the contract and deed restriction shall be approved by County in advance of execution. A copy of all contracts for HOME-funded activities shall be sent to the County. 7. Once the City enters into a formal written agreement for the commitment of HOME fund, the County shall make funds available to the City by setting up the project in HUD's IDIS financial disbursement system and in the County's ALCO LINK accounting system. As the County must adhere to HUD's new project based requirement for the expenditure of HOME funds, the County reserves the right to
