Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
ADA Internal Service Fund (3552)
DISCUSSION:
On Mar. 17, 2021, your Board authorized the award for the construction of the Garberville Complex. Construction of the new complex involved the manufacture and construction of eight modular buildings that were constructed off site by Blok Modular Constructors, Inc. (Blok), delivered to the project location and bolted together onsite.
Commercial modular buildings are regulated, and ownership is tracked by the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development (CDHCD). In order for the ownership title to be transferred from Blok to the county, the County Administrative Officer must execute the Power of Attorney (POA) form giving Blok the authority to file the required paperwork with CDHCD to transfer the ownership titles into the name of the County of Humboldt.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact for authorizing the County Administrative Officer to sign the POA other than staff time to prepare the staff report.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by fostering transparent, accessible, welcoming and user friendly services and providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your Board could choose not to authorize the County Administrative Officer to execute the POA, however this is not recommended as an executed POA is required for the transfer of title and without it, ownership of the modular buildings will not be transferred into the county’s name.
