Authorization To File And Prosecute Receivership Actions Against <br />Owners Of Real Properties Located In The City Of Santa Ana <br />September 5, 2017 <br />Page 2 <br />In previous actions, the City has obtained full Code compliance and has fully recovered both <br />staff and attorney expenses. The City Council previously allocated $100,000 to code <br />enforcement and receiver actions. The Code Enforcement Division of the Planning and <br />Building Agency has identified the above listed properties as candidates for receivership <br />actions based on the severity of violations or length of non-compliance. Attached is a <br />PowerPoint presentation with pictures of the real properties listed above. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, <br />Objectives #3 (Promote a solution -based customer focus in all efforts to facilitate development <br />and investment in the community); Goal #5 — Community Health, Livability, Engagement & <br />Sustainability, Objective #4 (Support neighborhood vitality and livability), and Strategy E <br />(Implement innovative code enforcement practices and strategies including the use of <br />volunteers, enhanced technologies and increased collaboration with other City departments <br />and outside agencies to address critical livability issues citywide [e.g. overcrowding, absentee <br />landlords, landlord/tenant rights and responsibilities, etc.]). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The City Attorney's Office has negotiated a per case fee arrangement for the receiverships <br />such that the City's exposure to fees will not exceed $18,000 (per case). As funds are <br />recovered under the receivership process, those funds will be applied to replenish the account <br />and utilized to continue the receivership program. <br />Funding is budgeted and available, for FY 2017-18 in the City Services Fund — Contractual <br />Services (05316021-62300) - $ 43,000 and CDBG Fund — Contractual Services (13518783- <br />62300) - $ 47,000 (use of funds may be applied in CDBG eligible areas only). <br />Sonia R.
