WHEREAS, Section 117 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended,
authorizes the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to make
grants to municipalities and counties to assist them in carrying
out programs of concentrated code enforcement in deteriorated or
deteriorating areas in which such enforcement, together with
certain public improvements to be provided by the locality, may
be expected to arrest the decline of the area; and
WHEREAS, it has been found and determined by this body that
there exists in this locality certain deteriorated or deteriorating
areas for which a program of concentrated code enforcement, combined
with certain public improvements, may be expected to arrest the
decline of the area; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that the grant of funds pursuant to
Section 117 will impose certain obligations and responsibilities
upon the Salt Lake City Code Enforcement Agency, among which is the
obligation to assure that any persons who may be displaced as a
result of the code enforcement and public improvements programs are
relocated into decent, safe, and sanitary housing in accordance
with the regulations of the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment; and
WHEREAS, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin under
any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance and
Executive Order 11063 prohibits discrimination on basis of race,
color, creed or national origin in sale, lease, or other disposition
of residential property (including land intended for residential
use) or in the use or occupancy thereof:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SALT LAKE CITY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS OF THE SALT LAKE CITY CODE ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.
1. That an amendatory application be filed with the Department
of Housing and Urban Development on behalf of the Salt Lake City
Code Enforcement Agency for a code enforcement grant under Section
117 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, of two-thirds of the cost
of undertaking and carrying out a code enforcement program, which
cost is now estimated to be $672,978.00, in an area or areas to be
designated and specially described in such application, and that the
Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to execute and file such
application, to provide such additional information and furnish such
documents as may be required by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, to execute such contract or contracts as may be neces-
sary for the grant applied for, to execute and file requisition for
funds and to act as the authorized representative of the Salt Lake
City Code Enforcement Agency in the accomplishment of the code
enforcement program.
2. That during the period of the contract for the code enforce-
ment grant the Salt Lake City Code Enforcement Agency will maintain
a level of expenditures for code enforcement activities, exclusive
of expenditures in any federally assisted code enforcement or Title I
urban renewal project areas, that is not less than the average yearly
-2-
expenditure for such activities throughout the locality for the two
full fiscal years immediately preceding the filing of the application.
3. That the locality has a program for and will provide in a
timely manner all necessary public improvements for the code enforce-
ment area.
4. That there exists in the locality an adequate amount of
decent, safe, and sanitary housing which is available to persons dis-
placed as a result of the code enforcement and related public improve-
ments programs, at prices which are within their financial means and
which are not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities
and public and commercial facilities than the dwellings of the dis-
placed individuals and families, and it is the sense of this body
that such displacees, if any, will be relocated in accordance with
applicable regulations of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
5. That the United States of America and the Secretary of Housinc
and Urban Development be, and they hereby are, assured of full
compliance by the Salt Lake City Code Enforcement Agency with regula-
tions of the Department of Housing and Urban Development effectuating
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and applicable Executive
Orders.
Passed by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah,
