The proposed Amendment will align the Agreement with the language in HUD CPD Notice 26-08, which outlines the requirements and procedures for requalifying as an urban county for the 2027-2029 qualification period. The provisions of the County's Agreement relating to compliance with applicable laws, and to reducing automatic renewal periods from ongoing automatic renewals to only one (1) three (3) year automatic renewal period, must be revised to comply with the language set forth in the CPD Notice.

There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item. A-2 Approve and execute the First Modification to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Funding Agreement ("First Modification") and accompanying Mortgage, Promissory Note and Land Use Restriction Agreement between Hillsborough County, Florida and Florida Home Partnership, Inc., to extend the funding expenditure deadline from February 28, 2027, to March 31, 2029, for site development and infrastructure for the construction of 38 single family homes to be located on Vel Street & 12th Street, also identified as Folio 079390-0000 in Wimauma, Florida, (the "Project"). The Land Use Restriction Agreement, Deferred Payment Mortgage, and Promissory Note will be modified to extend the affordability period by two years from May 31, 2047, to June 30, 2049. On October 23, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") approved the CHDO HOME funding award to FHP as the successful proposer of RFP No. 21390 (Contract Purchase Agreement No. 225300375) to fund site development and infrastructure for this development. The Project will sell these homes to eligible households with incomes up to 80% of area median income ("AMI") simultaneously participating in the USDA Mutual Self-Help Housing Program. The participants of this program are required to invest sweat equity in building their home. FHP requires additional time due to extensive unexpected environmental impact review delays. This affordable housing project is in alignment with the goals and activities of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan to increase production of single-family home ownership in Hillsborough County. There is no fiscal impact associated with approval of this agenda item. A-3 Approve and execute the First Modification to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding Agreement between Hillsborough County ("County") and Florida Home Partnership, Inc. ("FHP"), to extend the funding expenditure deadline from December 31, 2026 to January 31, 2029 and to modify the expiration deadline from January 31, 2030 to April 30, 2029 to begin site development and infrastructure installation to produce 22 buildable lots ( the "Project") of which 20 will be HOME assisted for households at or below 80% area median income. The Project is called the Hamptons at Wimauma and is located at North and Bassa Street in Wimauma. FHP required additional time to complete their zoning process and site plan development in light of some unforeseen circumstances. The Board of County Commissioners approved the funding award to FHP as a successful proposer of RFP No. 24141 for CHDO HOME funds, and on September 4, 2024, approved the HOME Agreement (BOCC Doc. No. 24-0807) for $798,000 (Contract Purchase Agreement No. 225300419). Eligible households will also participate in the USDA Mutual Self-Help Housing Program, where participants are required to invest sweat equity into the home-building process.

The requirement that four (4) of the total units be set aside for special needs households will also be revised to require that two (2) of the units be set aside for special needs or homeless households. The 18-unit development of semi-attached townhomes is located at 5209 Ehrlich Road, Tampa, Fl., also known as Folio No. 016232-0100, (the "Project").

Aging Services A-5 (a) Approve Amendment 001 of FY 25/26 Older Americans Act (OAA) Contract No. OAA-2026-HILL to increase the contract amount. Services provided under the OAA contract aim to prevent premature long-term care placement and reduce social isolation of seniors by providing essential community-based social and health services such as: Senior Adult Day Care, Transportation, Congregate Meals, Home-delivered Meals, and Telephone Reassurance.

Communications and Digital Media A-8 Approve and execute the Second Modification to the existing agreement with Cityzen Solutions, Inc., for the public education and engagement platform PublicInput (SS-23-24521) for the Communications & Digital Media Department (CDM) at an additional cost of $42,000.00. This Second Modification is to extend the agreement expiration date by one (1) year, from October 15, 2026, to October 14, 2027, and increase the total agreement amount by $42,000.00, from $95,766.00 to $137,766.00. This will enable CDM to maintain the existing "PublicInput" engagement platform currently in use, which is branded as the Hillsborough County Engagement and Education Hub. The platform is fully integrated with the County's website. This platform allows CDM to gather resident feedback on County projects and initiatives, offering both quantitative and qualitative data that helps inform communication campaign strategies, support comparison analysis, and gauge project sentiment to support informed decision-making and guide future efforts. A one (1) year extension is necessary to maintain uninterrupted service while aligning with current budget constraints. Continued access to the platform is critical to supporting the County's ongoing public engagement, survey, and outreach efforts, including recurring annual initiatives and planned future projects. In this case, as in the original award of this agreement, the specified services will be provided directly and exclusively by the recommended vendor under a sole source procurement and is exempt from Registered Small Business Encouragement (SBE) Program requirements; therefore, there is no SBE Program participation goal or set-aside for this procurement, which remains in-effect. Funding for this modification is available in the requesting department's approved budget, and purchase orders will only be issued against approved budgets.

BOCC Agenda Wednesday, August 5, 2026 Page 6 A-9 Approve and execute a First Modification to the existing Master Services Agreement ("Agreement") with Interact Intranet, Inc./Interact Software (RFP-25-00230), for the addition of 600 licenses for the new employee communication and engagement technology platform for the Communications & Digital Media Department at an additional cost of $43,848.00. The intent of this modification is to ensure all current employees, a limited number of constitutional office employees who reside in County Center (for emergency communications), and additional employee positions included in the Recommended Budget for FY 27 are licensed at the established cost of $2.61 per user, per month continuing through the Agreement expiration date and any renewal period. The Agreement amount will increase by $43,848.00 from $624,176.00 to $668,024.00 for the additional 600 user licenses. As a result, the modified Agreement will increase total user licenses to 6,200 (from 5,600). Should Hillsborough County renew the Agreement, the costs shall continue as described in the Agreement, Appendix 1. The agreement provides for one (1) additional three (3) year unilateral renewal period; therefore, authorization is respectfully requested for the Director of Procurement to exercise the renewal period at the current contract amount without further Board approval, if deemed by the Communications & Digital Media Department determines to be in the County's best interest. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement are reaffirmed in their entirety. Funding for this procurement is available in the requesting department's operating budget, and purchase orders will only be issued against approved budgets.

BOCC Agenda Wednesday, August 5, 2026 Page 13 Human Resources A-45 Approve and execute the Third Modification to the existing Agreement with Humana Insurance Company, (RFP No.8300-3), for fully insured vision benefits for employees and retirees. This modification will extend the contract for three (3) years from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2029.
