Adopt a resolution of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Santa Ana to establish authority of the Executive Director to execute
contracts in an amount not to exceed 825.nnn _
In November of 2006, the residents of the City of Santa Ana voted to
amend section 421 of the City's Charter to increase the City Manager's
authority to execute agreements. The authority of the City Manager is
now capped by the City Council at $25,000. The amendment additionally
indicated that the City Manager would submit quarterly reports to the
City Council at a public meeting on all agreements in which this
authority was used.
In order to implement the Redevelopment Plan and pursuant to Resolution
No. 86 -57 dated November 18, 1986, the Agency granted its Executive
Director the authority to execute agreements in an amount not to exceed
$10,000. This was the same authority the City Council of the City of
Santa Ana granted its City Manager. To improve efficiency and align with
today's economy, it is proposed that the Agency Board grant the Executive
Director similar authority to that of the City Manager, including the
submittal of quarterly reports to the Agency Board at a public meeting on
all such agreements.
