SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) S BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Authorize the reallocation of $19,600.00 from Community Development Con-
tingency Funds to Ninth Year (1983-84) Project 426 - Management and Develop-
ment; and
2. Authorize the Chairman to execute said agreement with a payment limit of
$19,600.00.
BACKGROUND
In March of this year UCSSO approached staff at the County and staff at the State
Department of Housing and Community Development's Farmworker Housing Grant
Program regarding the liklihood of obtaining additional funds to complete the
renovation of the Blue Goose and Colonia Santa maria Camps. This request was the
latest in a series of incremental requests for funds to both the County and the State to
complete the necessary work. It was the common response by both County and State
staff that UCSSO should prior to another incremental allocation of funds for physical
improvements, have 1) a better accounting of housing rehabilitation needs to complete
the work on the existing units; 2) a solid management capacity and plan for the
operation of the camps; 3) a plan for future development at the Blue Goose; and 4) an
indication of how future plans could be implemented and funded.
In response to comments UCSSO, my staff, and staff at the State investigated likely
technical assistance providers and solicited proposals and work plans from two of the
organizations. The proposal submitted by the Rural Community Assistance
Corporation (RCAC) was most acceptable to UCSSO, and seemed to best meet the
desires of County and State staff.
Staff recommended that $20,000 in contingency funds be provided to UCSSO with the
understanding that this amount will be matched by the State Farmworker Housing
Grant Program.
