Agenda 03/22/2022 Item #16D3 (Resolution - Authorizing County Manager to Excute HUD Documents)03/22/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the County Manager to execute all U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development required certifications, applications, reports, and
other forms.
OBJECTIVE: To appropriately place the authority for certifying grant documentation required as needed
to expedite the execution of time-sensitive applications, reporting, and other communications to HUD.
CONSIDERATIONS: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires local
governments to complete various activities, including but not limited to Certifications of Consistency
with the Consolidated Plan for the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition (Certification) and
Environmental Reviews which must be completed for each project, certified by the local Certifying
Officer, and made a part of the permanent project files.
The Community and Human Services (CHS) Division routinely prepare HUD required documents
including but not limited to Environmental Reviews, Certification(s), applications, reports, and other
forms as required by HUD.
On April 10, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the execution of the
Delegation of Authority Act as Certifying Officer form, delegating the County Manager, an official of
Collier County, all authority necessary to perform ministerial functions such as certifying environmental
reviews as Certifying Officer for Collier County for HUD grants. Section 104(g) of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 specifically allows local governments to act as the responsible
entity for environmental review, decision-making, and action that would otherwise apply to HUD under
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
It is recommended a Resolution authorizing the County Manager to expand his role of Certifying Officer
to include not only the Certification of Consistency Plan but also all other required HUD certifications,
applications, reports, and other forms, as required. The types of documents authorized to be signed by the
County Manager are those that are non-contractual in nature and do not contain any terms that bind the
Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no Fiscal impact associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board action. -JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a Resolution authorizing the County Manager to execute all U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development required Certifications, Applications, reports, and other
forms.
