Ayala, City Clerk AUG �.0 2017 Originator: Matthew Ceba os. Deputy City Clerk CITY CLERK'S OFFICE RE: Ordinance to Abolish the Industrial Development Authority Recommendation A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and C. Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an Ordinance repealing Sections 27.20 to 27.23 of Article III of Chapter 27 of the Vernon Municipal Code, abolishing the Industrial Development Authority. Background On January 19, 2016, a presentation was brought before Council with the purpose of familiarizing Council with the functions of the various Vernon City Council appointed governing bodies — commissions and committees. The City operates the following governing bodies: 1. Green Vernon Commission 2. Business & Industry Commission 3. Vernon CommUNITY Fund Grant Committee 4. Vernon Housing Commission 5. Vernon Housing Authority (Abolished as of 2016) 6. Public Benefits Resource Committee 7. Industrial Development Authority 8. Vernon Historic Preservation Society 9. Library Board of Trustees Page 1 of 2 Staff conducted thorough research of each entity. The research included reviewing the following from the inception of the various governing bodies: resolutions, public meeting agendas and minutes, and City Municipal Code. After reviewing the information, staff determined that three (3) of the governing bodies, Vernon Housing Authority (VHA), Public Benefits Resource Committee, and the Industrial Development Authority, were inactive and dormant in nature with no business being presented before those bodies. In further dialogue with various staff members, it was concluded that other governing bodies had been established more recently that were addressing some of the items that would have otherwise been brought to these aforementioned bodies, thereby making these older entities no longer necessary and obsolete. The VHA was abolished by Resolution No. 2016-34 on June 21, 2016. Industrial Development Authority(IDA) The IDA is a governing body that is cited under Sections 27.20 to 27.23 of Article III of Chapter 27 of the City's Municipal Code. It was established in 1993 via Ordinance No. 1016. The original purpose of the IDA was to assist with the financing of industrial development within the City of Vernon. At present, the IDA is dormant and its original intended purpose no longer applies to the City. In light of the foregoing, Staff recommends that the IDA be abolished. If in the future a need for an IDA once again becomes necessary/appropriate, the City can establish a new IDA that is appropriate for the then current needs of the City and structured in a way that is most responsive to the City's then current needs. Because the IDA has no present purpose, Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed ordinance abolishing the IDA. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact for the abolishment of the Industrial Development Authority. Attachment(s) 1. Public Hearing Notice 2.
