A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BAKERSFIELD DESIGNATING CERTAIN CITY
PERSONNEL AS CERTIFYING OFFICERS AUTHORIZED
TO EXECUTE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW RECORD
PURSUANT TO FEDERAL LAW.
WHEREAS, annually, the City of Bakersfield, pursuant to a grant, receives
federal funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to
undertake projects which benefit Iow- and moderate-income persons; and
WHEREAS, federal law requires that environmental review for all projects
undertaken with federal funds comply with the National Environmental Policy Act
("NEPA") prior to obligating funds; and
WHEREAS, such environmental review can be as simple as a one-page finding
of exemption to a multi-volume Environmental impact Statement ("ELS") and collectively
all of the environmental review documents are referred to by HUD as the Environmental
Review Record; and
WHEREAS, federal law and regulations require the City to designate one or
more employees as Certifying Officers authorized to sign the Environmental Review
Record; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intent to have the City Manager or Assistant City
Manager be the Certifying Officer for all Environmental Review Records requiring
publication and submission to HUD for authority to use grant funds, but to have the
Economic Development Director or the Community Development Coordinator be the
Certifying Officer for the simpler Environmental Review Records, which do not require
such publication and submission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, incorporating the above recitals herein,
by the Council of the City of Bakersfield as follows:
1. That the above recitals are true and correct.
2. The City Manager and any Assistant City Manager are designated as
Certifying Officers authorized to sign all federal Environmental Review Records
requiring publication and submission to HUD for authority to use grant funds.
3. The Economic Development Director and Community Development
Coordinator are designated as Certifying Officers authorized to sign all federal
Environmental Review Records that do not require publication and submission to HUD
for authority to use grant funds.
