Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $100,000 from the Emergency Human Services Fund for relocation expenses associated with the closure of the Woodland Meadows apartment complex. It is in the best interests of both the City and the tenants to relocate the remaining occupants, as at this point the conditions at the apartment complex are unsafe. The tenants to be assisted with these funds are those families that are not eligible for relocation assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The expenditures authorized by this ordinance will be for relocation payments in accordance with HUD guidelines, which provide an administrative structure and process to ensure consistency of assistance.

The ordinance is presented as an emergency in order to expedite the relocation of the remaining tenants.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this expenditure are allocated from the Emergency Human Services Fund.
