Hunt, Executive Director, Department of Community and <br />Economic Development, submitted to the Board a letter which he <br />requested be filed in order to serve as public disclosure of a <br />determination of potential conflict of interest under the <br />Department of Community and Economic Development's Conflict of <br />Interest Policy. <br />Mr. Hunt indicated that Mr. James Riggs and Mr. Gabriel Okafor, <br />full-time employees of the Department of Community and Economic <br />Development, have applied for homebuyer grant assistance in the <br />R.E.W.A.R.D. (Real Effort Wins Affordable Residential Dwellings) <br />Activity funded by the City's Community Development Block Grant <br />(CDBG) Program. Although the proposed assistance does not trigger <br />federal conflict of interest procedures pertaining to the CDBG <br />Program, it involves funds received through the Department of <br />Community and Economic Development and is therefore subject to <br />review under local departmental conflict of interest policy. <br />Whereas, neither Mr. Riggs nor Mr. Okafor have functions or <br />responsibilities with respect to the particular CDBG R.E.W.A.R.D. <br />funds for which they have applied, and neither is in a management <br />position within the Department of Community and Economic <br />Development, the Department has determined that no conflict of <br />interested exists in this case. <br />Additionally, public consideration and acceptance of this letter <br />satisfies the Department of Community and Economic Development's <br />Conflict of Interest Policy which requires departmental <br />determination and public disclosure of any potential conflict of <br />interest involving the use of funds administered through the <br />Department. <br />In conclusion, Mr. Hunt requested that the Board accept his letter <br />for filing. Mrs. Manier made a motion that the letter as <br />submitted be filed.
