EXHIBIT A CDBG CONTRACT PROVISIONS
In addition to the requirements set forth in other provisions of the Agreement, Consultant
shall comply, and shall cause all Consultant’s personnel to comply, with the following regulations and requirements insofar as they are applicable to the performance of the Agreement.1
1. Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination.
a. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, including Public Law 88-352 implemented in 24 CFR Part 1. This law provides in part that no person 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. In regard to the sale or lease of property, Consultant shall cause or require
a covenant running with the land to be inserted in the deed and leases prohibiting discrimination under this Title, and providing that City and the United States are beneficiaries of and entitled to enforce such covenants. Consultant shall enforce such covenant and shall not itself so
discriminate.
b. Fair Housing Act, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, including Public Law 90-234. The Fair Housing Act provides in part that there shall be no discrimination in housing practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The Fair Housing Act was amended in 1988 to provide protections from discrimination in any aspect of the sale or rental of housing for families with children and persons with disabilities. The Fair Housing Act also establishes requirements for the design and construction of new rental or for-sale multi-family housing to ensure a minimum level of accessibility for persons with
disabilities.
c. Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, including 42 U.S.C. 5301 et. seq., 42 U.S.C. 6101 et. seq., and 29 U.S.C. 794. This law provides in part that no person on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, or religion shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subject to discrimination under any activity funded in whole or part with funds under this Title.
d. Section 104(b) of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, including 42 U.S.C. 5301 et. seq. This law provides in part that any
grant under Section 106 shall be made only if the grantee certifies to the satisfaction of the Secretary of HUD that the grantee will, among other things, affirmatively further fair housing.
1 This exhibit is a list and summary of some of the applicable legal requirements and is not a complete list of all Consultant requirements. The description set forth next to a statute or regulation is a summary of certain provisions in the statute or regulation and is in no way intended to be a complete description or summary of the statute or regulation. In the event of any conflict between this summary and the requirements imposed by applicable laws, regulations, and requirements, the applicable laws, regulations, and requirements
shall apply.

This order and its implementing regulations include requirements that all actions necessary be taken to prevent discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in the use, occupancy, sale, leasing, rental, or other disposition of property assisted with Federal loans,
advances, grants, or contributions.
g. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. This Act specifies in part that no otherwise qualified individual shall solely by reason of his or her disability or handicap be excluded from participation (including employment), denied program benefits, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal assistance. Consultant must ensure that its programs are accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.
h. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, as amended. This Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment by state and local
governments and in places of public accommodation and commercial facilities. The ADA also requires that facilities that are newly constructed or altered, by, on behalf of, or for use of a public entity, be designed and constructed in a manner that makes the facility readily accessible to and
usable by persons with disabilities. The Act defines the range of conditions that qualify as disabilities and the reasonable accommodations that must be made to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for persons with disabilities.
i. The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended. This law provides in part that no person shall be excluded from participation in, be denied program benefits, or subjected to discrimination on the basis of age under any program or activity receiving federal assistance.
