In a regular meeting Tuesday, the Santa Clarita City Council is set to vote on whether to allow the State of California to distribute rental assistance funds and whether to award contracts for service with two companies.

The Santa Clarita City Council is set to vote on several items in their Oct. 26 meeting, including on having the state of California distribute rental funds on the city’s behalf and whether to award contracts for software services in two of the city’s management systems.

During the meeting, the Santa Clarita City Council is expected to adopt a resolution to allow the State of California to distribute Emergency Rental Assistance 2 funds on behalf of the city, officials said.

The City of Santa Clarita received over $5 million in funding from Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) 2, which was established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, representatives said.

The new program has come with new requirements which city representatives say are difficult to meet while also preventing fraud from occurring.

Therefore, city officials are recommending that the state administer ERA 2 on behalf of the city, as the state will already be giving out funds from that program and has more resources available.

City officials are also recommending that a three-year contract be awarded to CivicPlus, LLC so the City of Santa Clarita can continue to use the company’s recreation management system, which has been used by the city since 2013.

Officials recommend the three-year contract be approved along two optional one-year renewals for an amount equal to or less than $179,069.

Another contract recommended to be approved is a one-year contract with two optional one-year renewals with GoGov Inc. for the use of a suite of applications related to the Resident Service Center, which the city has used since 2008, according to city documents.

It is suggested that the contract not exceed $125,218, according to officials.

During the city council meeting, officials are scheduled to vote on whether to authorize the City Manager or a designee to file applications and administer Measure A funds from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District.

Additionally, the city council is set to vote on approving the purchase of a John Deere mower, a Ford F-250 super duty truck and a Ford F-350 truck for city use, according to representatives.
