04/13/2015 7.3.A. - Page 16 1606 Middlefield Road Relocation Plan "Last Resort Housing" payments are authorized by statute if affordable "comparable replacement housing" cannot be located for the displaced tenant household (i.e., housing renting for not more than 30% of the household's gross monthly income). In such an instance, payments may be made beyond the $5,250.00 statutory cap, up to forty-two (42) months' worth of rental assistance. Any supplemental increment beyond $5,250.00 may be paid in installments or, a lump sum, at the City of Redwood City's discretion. I. PAYMENT OF RELOCATION BENEFITS Relocation benefit payments will be made expeditiously. Claims and supporting documentation for relocation benefits must be filed with the City within eighteen (18) months from the date the claimant moves from the displacement property. Procedures for preparing and filing of claims and processing and delivering of payments are included in this Plan as Attachment 3. J. EVICTION POLICY The occupants are tenants of the City. The City recognizes that eviction is permissible only as a last resort and that relocation records must be documented to reflect the specific circumstances surrounding any eviction. Eviction will only take place in cases of nonpayment of rent; serious violation(s) of the rental agreement; a dangerous or illegal act performed by Lessee, its employees, invitees or, any combination thereof in the unit; or, if the lessee/displacee refuses all reasonable offers to move. Eviction will not affect the eligibility of a person legally entitled to relocation benefits. K. APPEALS POLICY Any person ("Occupant") who is aggrieved by a determination as to eligibility, the amount of payment, or the public entity's provision of comparable permanent or adequate temporary replacement housing ("the Determination"), will be afforded an opportunity to file an appeal with the City disagreeing with the Initial Determination made by the Relocation Advisor. An Occupant shall first contact his Relocation Advisor to see if the situation can be mutually resolved. If not, the Occupant may present a request for an informal oral presentation to the City's Project Manager, as designated by the City Manager, who has the authority to revise the Determination. This informal oral presentation step is PREPARED BY AUTOTEMP 10 10 RESO.#15397 MUFF#609
