ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 53-93-17
of the
City Manager
City of Eugene, Oregon
Delegating Responsibilities Under BUD CDBG Program, Rental
Rehabilitation Program and HOME Program to
Development Department Director
The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Under the provisions of Chapter ~ Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of
1976, the City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, and therefore
the responsible "agency" official for HUD programs, including the CDBG Program, Rental
Rehabilitation Program, and HOME Program (Eugene-Springfield consortium of which
Eugene is the lead agency).
B. As a recipient of Federal funds under these programs, the City's "responsible
official" is required to perform certain duties in connection with the administration of the
programs. The City Manager's environmental review "Certifying Officer" functions under
the CDBG program was heretofore delegated to the Director of the City's Planning &
Development Department, by Administrative Order No. 53-92-21. It would be more
efficient and in the public interest to delegate these additional administrative duties under
the above programs.
C. These federal programs are administered by the City's Planning &
Development Department, and the City Manager's duties and responsibilities as "responsible
official" or "agency official" thereunder, except those specifically reserved herein, should be
delegated to the Director of that Department.
D. The Director of the Planning & Development Department should also be
specifically authorized to delegate all or any of the duties or responsibilities delegated herein
upon a determination that it would be more efficient and in the public interest to do so.
Now, Therefore, based on the above findings, which are hereby adopted,
THE CI'IY MANAGER OF THE CI'IY OF EUGENE ORDERS AND DIRECfS
THAT:
1. Except as provided in Section 3 below, the City Manager's duties and
responsibilities as "responsible official" or "agency official" for Federal HUD Programs
consisting of the CDBO Program, Rental Rehabilitation Program and HOME Program, are
hereby delegated to the Director of the Planning & Development Department of the City
Administrative Order - 1
of Eugene.
2. The Director of the Planning & Development Department is specifically
delegated the authority to act as the "agency official" for the review of appeals under HUD
relocation benefit claims.
3. The authority delegated herein specifically does not include execution on
behalf of the City of any HUD contractual or funding approval commitment documents or
forms, which shall continue to be the responsibility of the City Manager to execute.
4. The Director of the Planning & Development Department may in turn
delegate any of the duties or responsiblities delegated herein to such person or persons
considered qualified to perform the delegated duties upon finding it would be more efficient
and in the public interest to do so.
Dated this ~ day of July, 1993.
