duplication of functions, and to promote uniform and effective
administration of relocation assistance programs for displaced persons
under this chapter, an agency required by this chapter to make
relocation payments to displaced persons or to establish relocation
assistance advisory programs may enter into contract with an
individual, firm, limited liability company, or corporation for services
in connection with the programs, or may carry out its functions under
this chapter through any federal, state, or local governmental agency or
instrumentality having an established organization for conducting
relocation assistance programs. The contract may delegate authority to
make a determination required to be made by the agency head with
respect to eligibility for an amount of relocation assistance payments,
availability of adequate replacement dwellings, or other matters
required to be determined under this chapter, subject to review of
determinations by the agency head and as provided in section 33 of this
chapter.

or county that has established a governmental agency to provide
relocation assistance to persons displaced from dwellings or
businesses, whether or not the acquiring or enforcing agency is
engaged in a program using federal financial assistance, may use the
services and facilities of the county or city relocation agency in
performing its obligations and in making the determinations required
under this chapter to the maximum feasible extent permitted by
applicable federal law or regulations.
