Relocation Assistance Program Summary This information statement is provided as courtesy by the City of Redwood City as a summary of its Relocation Assistance Program. If any discrepancies exist between this and applicable laws and regulations, those laws and regulations shall prevail. Page 3 2.0 Moving Cost Payment Eligible displaced persons are entitled to receive a moving payment to cover the cost of moving personal property. Actual, reasonable moving expenses may be paid when the move is performed by a professional mover or if an occupant moves themselves. Related expenses, such as personal property losses, expenses in finding a replacement site, and reestablishment expenses may also be reimbursable. Each occupant will need to provide an inventory of the personal property to be moved and advance notice of the approximate date of the move. A Relocation Advisor must be allowed to inspect the personal property at the displacement and replacement sites, and to monitor the move in order to assess eligibility for certain moving payments. An occupant may file a claim for whatever costs it would like to submit. Claims are filed through the Relocation Advisor who will assist the occupant to document the claim. The Relocation Advisor will then package the claim and submit the claim to the City for review. If all or part of a claim is approved, payment will be processed, and a check will be delivered to the occupant within approximately 30 days. If all or a part of the claim is denied, the occupant will be paid for the portion of the claim that was approved and will receive a letter detailing the reasons for the denial. The occupant will also receive additional information related to the City’s Relocation Appeal Process. The City weighs all claims against the standards set forth in the law and regulations which require that payment be made to reimburse occupants for eligible actual, reasonable, and necessary costs. Actual: The cost must actually be incurred and must be related to moving the personal property from the property the City would like to acquire or be an actual cost to reestablish the occupant at a replacement site. Reasonable: The cost must be reasonable. The City measures reasonableness by a number of factors, including, but not limited to getting multiple detailed estimates for each cost. Necessary: The cost must be necessary and related to the moving or personal property from the property the City would like to acquire or be necessary to reestablish the occupant at a replacement site. Eligible displaced persons may elect one or a combination of the following options for cost reimbursement for a move of up to 50 miles: Commercial Move Payment is Limited to Costs Determined to be Actual/Reasonable/Necessary Self-Move Payment is Limited to Costs Determined to be Actual/Reasonable/Necessary Appendix B to Relocation Impact Memorandum ATTY/RESO.0015/CC RESO APPROVING THE RELOCATION IMPACT MEMORANDUM FOR THE 84/101 REIMAGINED PROJECT - EXHIBIT A REV: 04-20-26 VR Page 11 of 34
