CITY OF ANAHEIM, APPLICATIONS FOR ALL U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING GRANT AWARDS; TO
ACCEPT SUCH GRANT FUNDING AS AWARDED; AND TO
TAKE SUCH ACTIONS IN FURTHERANCE OF SUCH GRANTS,
INCLUDING THE EXECUTION OF ANY AGREEMENTS AND
OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE IN
FURTHERANCE OF THE RECEIPT OF SUCH GRANTS; AND
DETERMINING THAT THIS RESOLUTION IS EXEMPT FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 15004(b)(4), 15060(c)(2)-(3),

CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS, Anaheim is eligible to receive Federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (the “Grantor”); and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim has been awarded Community Project Funding (CPF) and/or has been notified that it has qualified to receive a grant of funds (“Grants”) from HUD to be used for various Community Services projects; and
WHEREAS, the funding is not contingent upon the City providing a non-federal local match; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to delegate to the Director of Community Services or designee to submit and accept grant awards on behalf of the City of Anaheim for all HUD Community Project Funding Grants because such action will streamline the City’s administration of Community Project Funding awards, support continued pursuit of federal funding opportunities for priority community-serving projects, and ensure the City is positioned to meet HUD grant execution and compliance requirements; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to continue to apply for HUD Community Project Funding Grants in future cycles and accept any such HUD Community Project Funding Grants which may be awarded to the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to delegate authority to the Director of Community Services or designees to take all necessary or advisable actions to apply for and obtain HUD Community Project Funding Grants, including, without limitation: (1) to execute all grant-related documents and agreements (e.g., applications, master agreements, program-supplemental agreements, fund-exchange agreements, matching-fund agreements, fund-transfer agreements, memoranda of understanding, operating agreements, consulting agreements, and amendments) and other documents and agreements (e.g., operating agreements, retainer agreements, service agreements, and procurement agreements); (2) to execute other required documents (e.g., certifications, assurances, loan agreements, audit documents, compliance reports, and warranties); (3) to take any actions necessary or advisable to implement agreements and other documents that are necessary for HUD Community Project Funding Grants awarded to Anaheim; and (4) to account for any HUD Community Project Funding Grants and/ or other financial benefits received by Anaheim.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim:
1. The City Council agrees by this Resolution to accept any Community Project Funding grant awards administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, awarded to Anaheim without further action of the City Council.
2. The City Council agrees by this Resolution to comply with all terms, conditions, limitations, and other requirements imposed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, including certifying disbursement requests on behalf of Anaheim and compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws without further action of the City Council.
3. The Director of Community Services or designees are authorized and directed on behalf of Anaheim: (1) to apply for and obtain Community Project Funding grant awards administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; (2) to negotiate, provide, and execute, including, without limitation, any agreements, assurances, certifications, affidavits, commitments, reports, plans, payment requests, or other documents, including any amendments or changes thereto, as may be necessary or advisable in connection with applying for and receiving Community Project Funding grant awards administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and (3) to take any actions necessary or advisable to implement such received Community Project Funding grant awards administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
4. For any Community Project Funding grant awards administered by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, credit, and/or other financial benefit awarded to Anaheim, the Department of Community Services is authorized to account for such financial benefit in the fiscal years of the award by increasing the appropriations and authorized expenditures in amounts equal to such Grant or otherwise to seek City Council authorization to amend its budget.
5. The City Council finds and determines that this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq., herein referred to as “CEQA”) pursuant to sections 15004(b)(4), 15060(c)(2)-(3), 15061(b)(3), 15352(a), and 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”) because this action (1) does not result in any binding commitment by the City to authorize or advance any development activity, (2) will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment, and (3) does not constitute an “approval” of a “project.”
6. This Resolution is effective indefinitely, until rescinded, for any and all Anaheim efforts to apply for and obtain Community Project Funding grant awards administered by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
