WHEREAS, CAR decided to discontinue operations of the group home and, under the terms of a reverter clause in the grant deed from the County to CAR, deeded the property back to the County, which Deed was accepted by the County on July 15, 2003; and

WHEREAS, The County is still obligated under the terms of the Regulatory Agreement recorded against the property, to provide for the operation of a group home for developmentally disabled for an additional 10 years; and

WHEREAS, two proposals were submitted and reviewed by both the County of San Mateo Office of Housing and the State HCD, which has the final approval authority, and the proposal of Family Housing & Adult Resources (FHAR) was deemed the most suitable; and

WHEREAS, in order to comply with the Regulatory Agreement recorded against the property, the Office of Housing is proposing to contract with FHAR to operate a group home for developmentally disabled at no direct cost to the County other than the use of the property; and

WHEREAS, both parties now wish to enter into an Agreement, for FHAR to operate, maintain and manage a group home for the developmentally disabled for the period of September 1, 2004 through August 31, 2014, at no direct cost to the County other than the use of the property.
