Executive Summary:
This Board item requests approval for the Executive Director of the Sonoma County Community Development Commission (CDC) or designee to be authorized to execute all Homekey documents for Standard Agreement 20-HK-00108 on behalf of the County of Sonoma for participation in the Homekey Program and take any other actions necessary to effectuate the terms and conditions of the Standard Agreements and Homekey Program.
Discussion:
On August 18, 2020, Board Resolution #20-0303 authorized Barbie Robinson, the Interim Executive Director of the CDC at the time, to execute applications, Standard Agreements, and related documents for Homekey round 1 program funding. The application for Hotel Azura was submitted to State of California Housing and Community Development (HCD) on October 30, 2020 and approved. The HCD Standard Agreement #20-HK-00108 was executed on November 12, 2020.
Resolution #20-0303 remains the current Resolution on file with HCD for the Standard Agreement 20-HK-00108 and Hotel Azura project and is the official document giving authorityto execute all Homekey and other documents related to Hotel Azura and the Standard Agreement.
Due to Resolution #20-0303 identifying Barbie Robinson by name as having the authority to execute the applications, Standard Agreements, and related documents rather than the position of Executive Director no other persons are able to execute said documents.
The requested Resolution identifies the position of Executive Director and not a specific person as having authority to execute all Homekey documents for Standard Agreement 20-HK-00108 on behalf of the County of Sonoma for participation in the Homekey Program and take any other actions necessary to effectuate the terms and conditions of the Standard Agreements and Homekey Program.
Approval of this Resolution will allow the CDC to efficiently manage the Hotel Azura project and participate in the Homekey Program.
