(15) A written determination by the public entity that the necessary resources will be available as required.
 
 
(c) A Plan prepared by a local public entity shall be consistent with the local housing element.
 
(d) In the event of delay of more than one year in the implementation of the relocation program, the plan shall be updated prior to implementation of that program.
 
(e) 
(1) Copies of the plan shall be submitted for review to the relocation committee 30 days prior to submission to the local legislative body or head of state agency for approval. Copies shall be available to the public upon request. A copy of the final relocation plan shall be forwarded to the department which shall act as a central repository.
