Delegation of limited signature authority to Community Development Administrator
·
·
·
On August 13, 2013 the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC)
acted to recommend the Lake County Board authorize the Community Development
Administrator or designee to sign and execute agreements or documents required for
community development grant administration activities substantively previously approved
by the Lake County Board.
Such documents typically exist to meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pertaining to ongoing community development
grant administration and can include environmental reviews, electronic system logon
requests, homebuyer agreements and mortgage documents (including releases) and
reports.
Under the current Housing and Community Development Commission bylaws, most
recently amended on September 9, 2014, the Housing and Community Development
Commission possesses limited signature authority and may take final action to delegate
said authority.
Ms. Gingiss stated that the HCDC’s new by-laws provided the Commission with the power
to delegate limited signature authority, on projects previously approved by the HCDC and
the County Board, to the CD Administrator. Therefore, rather than forwarding last month’s
recommendation for this signatory authorization to the Board, it was determined to retain
this request within the HCDC.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hart, seconded by Commissioner Calabresa,
to approve the delegation of limited signature authority to the Community
Development Administrator. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye:
Absent:
7.
