HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: September 15, 1992
FROM: Richard J. Martinez, Acting Interim Executive Director
SUBJECT: SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM BY CONTRA COSTA SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE provision of $15,000, including a carry-over o-I.-' $245.51, in Housing
Authority funds to the Contra Costa County Sheriff's DepartmentL. for continuation of
the special drug enforcement program, as recommended by the Advisory Housing
Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In the preparation of the 1992-93 Housing Authority operating budget, funds
were budgeted and approved for the continuation of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's
Department special drug enforcement program.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On October 10, 1992 the Housing Authority provided the Contra Costa County
Sheriff's Department with $15,000 to continue a special drug enforcement program for
the 1991-92 county fiscal year. On August 5, 1992 the Housing Authority received a
report from the Sheriff's Department on the results of the special drug enforcement
program.
A total of 186 drug-related reports were generated during fiscal 1991-92 and a
marked decline was noted in the drug-related crimes within the Housing Authority's
North Richmond housing development. Approximately 70 search warrants were conducted
on known/suspected drug locations.
In the past eight years, this special drug enforcement program has been very
successful as it has reduced the amount of drug-related criminal activity in housing
developments located in the unincorporated areas of the county serviced by the
Sheriff's Department.
For the 1992-93 county fiscal year, the Sheriff's Department is requesting
that funds be provided by the Housing Authority to continue this special drug
enforcement program. As Sheriff's Department utilized only $14,754.49 of the $15,000
supplied by the Housing Authority in 1991, they have requested that the Sheriff's
Department be allowed to carry over the $245.51 in unexpended Housing Authority funds

into the 1992-93 county fiscal year, and that the Housing Authority provide an
additional $14,754.49, for a total of $15,000 to be expended during the 1992-93
county fiscal year.
In the preparation of the Housing Authority's 1992-93 operating budget, funds
in the amount of $15,000 were budgeted and approved for the continuation of the
Sheriff's Department special enforcement program.
At its Regular Meeting on Monday, September 14, 1992, the Advisory Housing
Commission voted to recommend that the Sheriff's Department be allowed to carry over
the $245.51 in unexpended Housing Authority funds into the 1952-93 county fiscal
year and that the Housing Authority provide an additional $14,;754.49, for a total of
$15,000, to continue this special drug enforcement program.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners fail to respond positively to this request,
the amount of drug-related criminal activity in housing developments located in the
unincorporated areas of the county serviced by the Sheriff's Department could
possibly increase.
