6 18-1043 Subject: Designation Of Authorized Agents For FEMA Grants
From: Housing And Community Development
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Designating The City Administrator, The Assistant City Administrator, And The Director Of Housing And Community Development As Authorized Agents On Behalf Of The City Of Oakland To Execute And Submit All Documents Necessary For Federal Award Funds From The Federal Emergency Management Agency And The State Of California Governor's Office Of Emergency Services.
The City Administrator, Assistant City Administrator, and Director of Housing and Community Development must be appointed with community input at the least, and should ideally be elected officials. Our city has repeatedly been victim to nepotism and corruption in City Hall, and this proposal leaves the door wide open to both without any input from the community. The community must have a say in how these funds are allocated as we struggle to combat gentrification and displacement.
