BACKGROUND:
On November 2, 2021, the Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved application submission to and acceptance of funds from the State of California Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the HNP Round 2 grant via Board Order C.29; Resolution Number 2021/357. The aforementioned Board Resolution named Kathy Gallagher, Employment and Human Services Department Director as the authorized party. The Board approved application and Resolution was provided to HCD on November 17, 2021. Subsequently, Marla Stuart was appointed EHSD Director on April 11, 2022. HCD is now requiring a replacement board resolution, removing Kathy Gallagher and recognizing EHSD Director as the authorized party. Board Resolution 2022/382 removes Kathy Gallagher as the authorized party and identifies “the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee” as the authorized party in accordance with HCD’s request.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without a replacement Board Resolution, County will not receive funding previously awarded to EHSD and allocate to the Children and Family Services housing program.
