SUBJECT: Contract for North Richmond Redevelopment Project Area manager
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECQMME'NDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Redevelopment to execute a contract with a
payment limit not to exceed $97,000 with D'Andre Wells for Redevelopment Project Manager
services for the North Richmond Redevelopment Project Area with a term extending from
August 4, 2003 through August 3, 2004.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund. Redevelopment funds have been budgeted.
BACKGROUND:
As the current North Richmond Redevelopment Project Manager is scheduled to begin a year-
long leave of absence on August 4, 2003, execution of this contract will enable the
Redevelopment Agency to provide ongoing Project Manager services for this extremely active
Redevelopment Project Area. Some of the services Mr. Wells will provide include working with
Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) on an infill housing project, working
with the Housing Authority on plans for the Las Deltas site, drafting a Memorandum of
Understanding with the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) and the City of Richmond,
working with first time homebuyer programs, assisting North Richmond Neighborhood Nouse
with the Giaramita Housing Program, assisting with affordable housing definition legislation,
managing the North Richmond Youthbuild Program, as well as working with various
community and groups and the Steering Committee on P-1 Planning. The work scope will be
refined as specific needs arise. As seen from this partial listing of current activities in various
stages, not being able to provide these services in the North Richmond Redevelopment
Project Area would be severely detrimental to the residents and the community as a whole.
