HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: September 13, 1988
FROM: Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director cc:
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT A CDBG APPLICATION FOR
BUILDING AN ADDITION TO THE BOYS/GIRLS CLUB
FACILITY AT CA011010, BAYO VISTA, RODEO
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of
Contra Costa to submit a $150,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
application for 1989/90 to enable the Housing Authority to remodel and expand the
existing Field House facility at CA011010, Bayo Vista, Rodeo, for use by the
Rodeo-Crockett Boys/Girls Club, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A total of $200,000 is needed to enable the Housing Authority to remodel and
construct an addition to the Field House facility at the Bayo Vista public housing
development in Rodeo. An application would be submitted to the CDBG program
requesting 75% of this total , or $150,000. Of the remaining $50,000, the Housing
Authority would provide $25,000 from the 1989/90 operating budget and/or the Local
Management Fund. The Rodeo-Crockett Boys/Girls Club would also provide $25,000 '
through fund raising and grants.
III. REASONS FOR�RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Rodeo-Crockett Boys/Girls Club is currently operating its program at Bayo
Vista. The summer program has been very successful . The Boys/Girls Club uses the
Bayo Vista Field House for indoor activities. Unfortunately, .the Field House is too
small to accommodate many children. This will be a serious problem during the winter
months when inclement weather will curtail outdoor recreational activities and will
force programming to be indoors.
In cooperation with the Rodeo-Crockett Boys/Girls Club, the Housing Authority
proposes to submit a joint proposal to the CDBG program to secure funding to expand
the Field House to provide additional indoor space for Boys/Girls Club activities
which will benefit the youth of Bayo Vista, as well as the surrounding community.
The proposed improvements consist of the remodeling of the existing Field House and
the construction of an additional 2,000 square feet of space adjacent to the Field
House.

The purpose of the Boys/Girls Club is to promote the health; social ,
educational , vocational and character development of boys and girls ages 7 to 18'.
Its aim is to help these young people improve their lives by building self-esteem and
developing values and skills during critical periods of growth.
At its Regular Meeting on August 15, 1988 the Advisory Housing Commission
recommended that the Housing Authority submit an application to the County's
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program requesting 75% matching funds to
enable the Housing Authority to remodel and expand the existing Field House facility
at CA011010, Bayo Vista, Rodeo, for use by the Rodeo-Crockett Boys/Girls Club.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not approve submission of an
application .for $150,000 in Community Development Block Grant Program funds, the
Housing Authority would be unable to remodel and expand the Field?lHouse at its Bayo
Vista public housing development in Rodeo for use by the Rodeo-Crockett Boys/Girls
Club, and this important program would be unavailable to the low-'income community in
Rodeo.
