RESOLUTION NO. 2017-085
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING EACH EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE FEDERAL
GRANT CERTIFICATION(S) FOR FEDERAL GRANTS
MANAGED BY EACH RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENT OR
AGENCY
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. The Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards ("The Uniform Guidance") is a new set of
regulations for managing federal grant programs. Due to the new report
certification requirements under the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR section 200.415),
the City is required to include certification language in the annual and final fiscal
reports or vouchers requesting payment (all reimbursement requests), which
must be signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the entity.
B. All reimbursement requests must now be signed by an official who is
authorized to legally bind the entity. Such reimbursement requests are processed
quite frequently and authorizing the Executive Director of each
department/agency, or their designee, to sign such certifications pertaining to
federal grant funds managed by each respective department/agency will allow
the City to function expeditiously.
C. The grant administering departments/agencies are responsible for ensuring
compliance with all grant requirements, including but not limited to monitoring
grant expenditures and reporting true, current, and accurate information to
grantors (Federal Grant Agencies). As such, the Executive Directors and their
designee(s) of the grant administering departments must review and certify all
fiscal reports and reimbursement requests.
Section 2. The City Council hereby authorizes grant administering departments'
Executive Directors and their designee(s) the authority to sign the certification required
by the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR section 200.415) with regard to all federal grant
reports and reimbursement requests.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
this Resolution.
