RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Santa Ana, acting as Successor Agency to
the former Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana ("Successor Agency")
establishing authority of the City Manager to execute Successor Agency contracts in an amount
not to exceed $25,000.
DISCUSSION
In November of 2006, the residents of the City of Santa Ana (City) 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. To improve efficiency and achieve
alignment with the City process, on October 6, 2008, the Community Redevelopment Agency
Board approved Resolution 2008-006, granting its Executive Director the same $25,000
contracting authority.
In order to implement ABX1 26 (Redevelopment Dissolution Act) as amended by AB 1484, and
ensure consistency with City processes, it is proposed that the Successor Agency Board grant
the City Manager the same authority granted with respect to other contracts. In order to unwind
the Community Redevelopment Agency's affairs, the Successor Agency will need to enter into
contracts for services as it administers the enforceable obligations of the former agency. This
action will provide the City Manager with the same contract authority for the City acting as
Successor Agency as currently in place for the City. It will also include the submittal of quarterly
reports to the Successor Agency Board at the public meeting on all such agreements/contracts.
