Compton Municipal Code § 2-13 Urban Community Development Commission

[Added by Ord. #1479, § 2395]

The Urban Community Development Commission is hereby created and shall commence to function in the community at such time on or after August 14, 1975, as the Council shall approve the organizing bylaws of the Commission. After such approval the Commission shall meet and adopt bylaws for its operation. The Commission shall be known as the Urban Community Development Commission and shall not be construed as the same entity as, or the successor to, the Compton Community Development Corporation.

[Added by Ord. #1479, § 2395.2]

The Urban Community Development Commission shall have five members, and the Mayor and Council shall be the members of the Commission. The officers of the Commission shall be elected or appointed in a manner established by Commission resolution. The Commission shall adopt personnel rules and regulations applicable to all its employees. The Commission may agree with the City that the City will administer the Commission personnel system. In the event no Commission rule or regulation covers procedures affecting conflicts of interests, the use of funds, the award of contracts, or personnel hiring or termination, it shall be deemed that the Council has imposed on the Commission the rules, regulations, and procedures which would pertain to performing City functions and that the Commission has adopted such rules, regulations, or procedures.

[Added by Ord. #1479, § 2395.3]

The nature, powers, authority, functions, and jurisdiction of the Urban Community Development Commission shall include:

a. All of the nature, power, authority, functions, and jurisdiction of redevelopment agencies, housing authorities, and Federal surplus property authorities granted under the Marks Foran Residential Rehabilitation Act to charter cities;

b. Concurrent jurisdiction with the City to exercise City Charter powers to exercise powers in community development and in participation in Federal programs or in State programs of grants in aid; and

c. Such further powers, authority, and functions as may be duly delegated to the Commission in the City by Council resolution to the extent that such are not inconsistent with law or with the provisions of subsections 2-13.1 and 2-13.4 through 2-13.6 of this section.

[Added by Ord. #1479, § 2395.4]

The Urban Community Development Commission shall operate under Article X of the City Charter to the extent that the City Carter is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Health and Safety Code of the State or other State laws.

[Added by Ord. #1479, § 2395.5]

Notwithstanding the fact that the Urban Community Development Commission exercises as a government body the powers of a redevelopment agency and a housing authority, both agencies shall remain separate public bodies, corporate and politic, and all formal actions of those bodies shall be in their respective names.

[Added by Ord. #1479, § 2395.6]

The Urban Community Development Commission shall administer all community development programs transferred to it by the Council. Upon the approval of such program transfers by any governmental agencies as are required by law and the acceptance of such programs by the Commission, the Commission shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the programs transferred.
