REQUEST FOR w" <br />SUCCESSOR AGENCY i <br />ACTION <br />MEETING DATE: CLERK OF THE COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />NOVEMBER 19, 2012 <br />APPROVED <br />TITLE: <br />RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH AUTHORITY ? As Recommended <br />OF THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ? As Amended <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />CONTRACTS ? Other <br />CITY MANAGER <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Santa Ana, acting as Successor Agency to <br />the former Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana ("Successor Agency") <br />establishing authority of the City Manager to execute Successor Agency contracts in an amount <br />not to exceed $25,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />In November of 2006, the residents of the City of Santa Ana (City) voted to amend section 421 of <br />the City's Charter to increase the City Manager's authority to execute agreements. The authority <br />of the City Manager is now capped by the City Council at $25,000. The amendment additionally <br />indicated that the City Manager would submit quarterly reports to the City Council at a public <br />meeting on all agreements in which this authority was used. To improve efficiency and achieve <br />alignment with the City process, on October 6, 2008, the Community Redevelopment Agency <br />Board approved Resolution 2008-006, granting its Executive Director the same $25,000 <br />contracting authority. <br />In order to implement ABX1 26 (Redevelopment Dissolution Act) as amended by AB 1484, and <br />ensure consistency with City processes, it is proposed that the Successor Agency Board grant <br />the City Manager the same authority granted with respect to other contracts. In order to unwind <br />the Community Redevelopment Agency's affairs, the Successor Agency will need to enter into <br />contracts for services as it administers the enforceable obligations of the former agency. This <br />action will provide the City Manager with the same contract authority for the City acting as <br />Successor Agency as currently in place for the City. It will also include the submittal of quarterly <br />reports to the Successor Agency Board at the public meeting on all such agreements/contracts. <br />2-1
