Repealing and Replacing Section 2 of Ordinance 246-22; authorizing the Mayor to enter into agreement with Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity for the purpose of administration and construction services related to the Englewood Code Compliance Pilot Program; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
On May 24, 2022, this Toledo City Council unanimously passed Ord. 246-22 authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $900,000 from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund for the Englewood Code Compliance Pilot program (ECCP) and authorizing the Mayor to accept bids, award contracts, and enter into necessary agreements to execute the pilot program. The City has an existing subrecipient partnership with Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity for its HOME Rescue Program owner occupied housing rehabilitation program. The Home Rescue Program has a waiting list of Englewood Properties with existing code violations. Given this unique expertise the ECCP will consist of a partnership with Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity and the Department of Housing and Community Development to provide a non-legal code compliance path through funding and housing rehabilitation management for homeowners in Englewood Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs) or with household income up to 65% of the area median.
This Ordinance repeals Section 2 of Ordinance 246-22 and replaces it with the language provided herein below.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That Section 2 of Ordinance 246-22 reads as follows:
“That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids, award contracts and enter into necessary agreements for the Englewood Code Compliance Pilot Program, including administration, construction, and title company escrow services and upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and the Director of Housing and Community Development.”
is hereby repealed and replaced with the following language:
“That the Mayor is authorized to enter into an agreement with Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity for the purposes authorized in Section 1 for the Englewood Code Compliance Pilot Program, including administration and construction services, and upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and the Director of Housing and Community Development.”
SECTION 2. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force immediately from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective to facilitate the execution of this pilot program described so that community revitalization may commence immediately, thereby improving the economic welfare of the citizens of the City and surrounding area.
