DEPARTMENT: Community Recovery Agency BACKGROUND On September 13, 1994, the City Council approved Resolution 94-106, authorizing the City's submission of the HOME Program for Disaster Relief application. This resolution also authorized George Caravalho, City Manager, Ken Pulskamp, Assistant City Manager, and Don Duckworth, Community Recovery Agency Consultant, to sign documents required by the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for participation in the program. HCD legal counsel has interpreted the wording in Resolution 94-106 to mean that the signatures of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Community Recovery Agency Director are all needed on documents required by HCD and HUD for participation in the. HOME program. Under this interpretation, HCD will not accept any documents from Santa Clarita which are not signed by each of the three identified individuals. HCD staff has suggested that Santa Clarita approve a new resolution, with changes in the wording to reflect that only one of the three signatures will be needed on required documents. ANALYSIS The wording of Resolution 94-106 in question reads as follows: "The City of Santa Clarita authorizes George A. Caravalho, City Manager, Kenneth R. Pulskamp, Assistant City Manager, and Donald R. Duckworth, Community Recovery Agency Consultant, to execute in the name of the City of Santa Clarita, the application, thee Standard Agreement, and all other documents required by the Department or HUD for participation in the HOME disaster relief program, and any amendments thereto." Staff has drafted a new resolution to reflect this change. The word "and" following the City Manager's title will be replaced with the word "or" to authorize each individual to sign Adopter 9sQgen`a Item:— without requiring two signatures on each document. This change will therefore read as follows: "The City of Santa Clarita authorizes George A. Caravalho, City Manager, or Kenneth R. Pulskamp, Assistant City Manager, to execute in the name of the City of Santa Clarita, the application, the Standard Agreement, and all other documents required by the Department or HUD for participation in the HOME Disaster Relief Program, and any amendments thereto." RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Approve Resolution 95-22, authorizing George A. Caravalho, City Manager, or Kenneth R. Pulskamp, Assistant City Manager, to sign all documents required by the State Department of Housing and Community Development or the Department of Housing and Urban Development for participation in the HOME Disaster Relief Program. cdbg\ar031495.2 RESOLUTION NO. 95-22 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR DISASTER RELIEF FUNDING UNDER THE HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM; THE EXECUTION OF A STANDARD AGREEMENT IF SELECTED FOR SUCH FUNDING AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO; AND ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM FOR DISASTER RELIEF WHEREAS, The City of Santa Clarita, a political subdivision of the State of California, wishes to apply for and receive an allocation of funds through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program for disaster relief (hereinafter referred to as "HOME disaster relief"); and WHEREAS, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (hereinafter referred to as the "Department') has issued a Notice of Funding Availability for the HOME disaster relief program and is authorized to approve funding allocations which will be made available directly through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be used for the purposes set forth in Title II of the Cranston -Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, the implementing regulations set forth in Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 92, and Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations commencing with section 8200; and WHEREAS, The City of Santa Clarita wishes to submit an application to obtain from the Department an allocation of HOME disaster relief funds.
