Title
Resolution - A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mansfield, Texas, Adopting a Policy For the Establishment of a Relocation Assistance Program Related to Implementation of the City's Minimum Housing Standards, Substandard Building Ordinance and Other Programs, and Related to Amoritization; and Providing an Effective Date
Requested Action
Consider the Resolution to create a Relocation Assistance Program.
Recommendation
Approve the Resolution creating the Relocation Assistance Program as outlined in Exhibit A.
Description/History
The proposed Relocation Assistance Program is compatible with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as required by Section 21.046 of the Texas Property Code.
Justification
The goal of the City's code compliance program is to provide property owners with every practical and reasonable opportunity to meet minimum code standards in the City of Mansfield. However, in some circumstances, an owner may not have chosen to bring their property into code compliance, and it might be necessary for an individual, family, or business to be displaced in conjunction with the enforcement of the City's Substandard Building Ordinance. The Relocation Assistance Program would provide a policy to assist persons with finding a suitable replacement dwelling or property.
