MODIFIED OPINIONREPEAT OF 2020-001QUESTIONED COSTS

During 2007, the City of Fort Wayne requested that Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies be returned to the City. The CDC returned collections on loans receivable on a quarterly basis. As requested, CDC returned the following amounts to the City: 2007 $ 214,860 2008 92,998 2009 112,199 2010 101,223 2011 98,524 2012 271,025 2013 81,784 2014 97,313 2015 192,478 2016 50,575 2017 46,538 2018 48,252 As of December 31, 2018, all CDBG money had been replaced with CEDIT funds leaving no loans receivable related to CDBG dollars in the EDA fund. This money was considered match money for the EDA loan fund. Criteria: As stated in the EDA grant, all monies placed in that program must remain. Cause: The City of Fort Wayne determined that certain CDBG loans administered by the CDC were not in compliance with CDBG loan guidelines. The CDC does not agree with the City's interpretation of the guidelines in question. The CDC was willing to follow the guidelines going forward; however, the City declined and determined that the money be returned. Effect: This returned CDBG money is no longer available to the CDC and, therefore, is not considered available as match funds. Recommendation: The CDC must find alternate funding to make up the lost match dollars. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The decision by the City of Fort Wayne to re-program these funds was within its discretion. As of January 1, 2010, the City of Fort Wayne agreed to replace the CDBG dollars being returned to the City with CEDIT funds. While this resolves the match issue from January 1, 2010, going forward, it does not solve the monies already returned during 2007-2009. For the amounts prior to 2010, CDC is in correspondence with the EDA to determine the amount that must be replaced to maintain the appropriate federal to local share percentage, or a waiver of the requirement to replace the funds, as the local match remains in excess of the original requirement.
