D.4 RECEIVE an oral report on the effects of a possible federal shutdown on the
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa's (HACCC) programs.
Mr. Villarreal noted the funding mechanisms are different for public housing
and for housing vouchers. He expects to receive the normal amount of funding
through June 1, 2019 for public housing. For Section 8 vouchers and some
smaller programs, he expects funding to cover March and April, but it remains
to be seen if the funds arrives in those accounts by Friday (before a possible
shutdown). An extended government shutdown would place public housing in a
position of not having the funds to maintain the properties sufficiently.
Homeowners contracting with the County for Section 8 vouchers would be
exposed to possible lack of funds from the HUD portion of the rent after
March/April, placing those owners in financial risk in regard to paying the
mortgage on the home. No evictions are allowed if HUD does not pay it’s
portion, but the tenant keeps their obligation. An extended shutdown would not
directly result in any loss of housing in the short term, but would place many
vouchers and programs at risk of closure through individuals exiting the
program, defaulting on mortgages, and the inability to keep legal and safety
obligations to tenants.

RECOMMENDATIONS
ACCEPT report on the relocation status of the families at the Las Deltas public housing development in
North Richmond.
BACKGROUND
As part of the RAD conversion of the Las Deltas public housing units, HACCC is required to assist the
families living at Las Deltas to find new, affordable places to live. All of the residents living at Las Deltas
at the time of conversion, must be assisted under the laws and regulations set forth in the Uniform
Relocation Act, California Relocation Assistance Law and the California Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Guidelines.
There were 81 families living at Las Deltas when it was approved for RAD. All are/were eligible for
relocation benefits. In September 2017 HACCC began officially moving families out of Las Deltas.
Although a few of the 81 families had moved before this date, these early movers retained eligibility for,
and were offered, relocation benefits. The mover status of the Las Deltas families as of January 24, 2019 is
as follows:

RECOMMENDATIONS
RECEIVE the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa’s investment report for the quarter ending
December 31, 2018.
BACKGROUND
California Government Code (CGC) section 53646 requires the Housing Authority of the County of Contra
Costa (HACCC) to present the Board of Commissioners with a quarterly investment report that provides a
complete description of HACCC’s portfolio. The report is required to show the issuers, type of investments,
maturity dates, par values (equal to market value here) and the current market values of each component of
the portfolio, including funds managed by third party contractors. It must also include the source of the
portfolio valuation (in HACCC’s case it is the issuer). Finally, the report must provide certifications that
(1) all investment actions executed since the last report have been made in full compliance with the
Investment Policy and; (2) HACCC will meet its expenditure obligations for the next six months. (CGC
53646(b)).
The state-mandated report has been amended to indicate the amount of interest earned and how the interest
was allocated. The amended report is attached.

February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 10
BACKGROUND (CONT'D)
In summary, HACCC had $29,556.75 in interest earnings for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. That interest was earned
within discrete programs and most of the interest earned is available only for use within the program which earned the
interest. Further, interest earnings may be restricted to specific purposes within a given program.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program reserve as of 12/31/2013 held in cash and investments was transitioned to U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) held program reserve account.
Non-restricted interest earnings within both the voucher and public housing programs must be used solely within those
programs, but such interest earnings can be used for a wider range of purposes within the individual programs. The interest
earned in the State and Local fund can be used for any purpose within HACCC’s scope of operations.
The interest earned for the quarter ending December 31, 2018 is shown below. A more detailed report is attached.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Commissioners
Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa
Martinez, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities of the Housing
Authority of the County of Contra Costa, component unit of the County of Contra Costa, California (the
Authority), as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the Authoritys basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. We
did not audit the financial statements of the aggregate discretely presented component units reported in the
financial statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit
the financial statements of HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc, a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation
and CDR Senior Housing Associates, a California Limited Partnership, which represent 13.5%, -39.7% and
0.4%, respectively, of the primary governments assets, net position, and revenue. We did not audit the
financial statements of DeAnza Housing Corporation, a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation
and DeAnza Gardens L.P. a California Limited Partnership, which are combined and reported as discretely
presented component units titled Component Units in the fund financial statements. Those financial
statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar
as it relates to the amounts included for the discretely presented component units and blended component
units - Casa Del Rio Housing is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Authoritys preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authoritys
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 27
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the business-type activities and
the aggregate discretely presented component units of the Authority, as of March 31, 2018, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Notes 1.U. and 12, the Authority adopted the provisions of Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment
Benefits other than Pension, as of April 1, 2017. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the managements
discussion and analysis on pages 4 through 11, and the supplementary information required for the pension
and other postemployment benefit plans on pages 64-66 be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting
for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We
and the other auditors have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted
of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information
for consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, Californias basic financial statements. The
schedule of relevant statistics is presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200,
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards , and
is also not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying Financial Data Schedules
(CA011) are presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Uniform Financial Reporting
Standards issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements. Finally, the accompanying Schedule of Completed Capital Fund Program

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MARCH 31, 2018
The management of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (the Authority) would like to provide the
readers of the Authoritys financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
Authority for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is an element of the reporting model adopted by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) in their Statement No. 34 Basic Financial Statements-and
Managements Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments issued in June 1999. Certain comparative
information between the current year and the prior year is required to be presented in the MD&A.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Net position decreased by $1,987,330 (or 35.57%) during 2018 (see Table 1) as a result of the
implementation of GASB 75. GASB 75 required the Authority to record unfunded accrued actuarial
liability (UAAL) in the amount of $5,269,965. This amount was reduced by a positive actuarial change
in net pension liability of $636,481 and a positive change in normal operations of $2,647,374 (see footnote
10 in the audit report).
Unrestricted net position decreased by $2,844,315 during 2018 (see Table 1). The implementation of
GASB 75 caused a decrease in the amount of $5,269,965 that was offset by positive changes in pension
liability of $636,481 and in operations in the amount of $1,789,169.
Total revenue increased by $17.5 million (or 15.5%) as a result of current year activities (see Table 3).
Total expenditures increased $16.5 million (or 14.7%) as a result of current year activities (see Table 3).
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as introduction to the Authoritys basic financial statements. The
Authoritys basic financial statements are comprised of three parts as follows: (1) Fund Financial Statements,
(2) Notes to the Basic Financial Statements, and (3) Supplementary Information.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Fund Financial Statements presentation is similar to the traditional government financial statements. The
statements are the Statement of Net Position, the Statement of Revenue, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net
Position, and the Statement of Cash Flows. The focus is now on Major Funds, rather than fund types. The
Authoritys funds consist exclusively of Enterprise Funds. Enterprise funds utilize the full accrual basis of
accounting. The Enterprise method of accounting is similar to accounting utilized by the private sector accounting.
Many of the funds administered by the Authority are provided by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Others are segregated to enhance accountability and control. GASBs 34 and 37 require individual
enterprise funds to be reported as major funds if total assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenses of that individual fund
exceed 10% or corresponding element total of the Authority as a whole. In the past, the Authority reported four
major funds and an aggregate column for non-major funds. Beginning April 1, 2006, the Authority reported all of
its activities in one major fund titled Housing. The Authoritys mission is to provide affordable housing within
the County of Contra Costa, regardless of grant or program. Therefore, we believe that reporting all activity in one

Major Factors Affecting the Statement of Net Position
The major factor affecting net position was the implementation of GASB 75. GASB 75 required the
Authority to record unfunded accrued actuarial liability (UAAL) in the amount of $5,269,965. This
amount was reduced by a positive actuarial change in net pension liability of $636,481 and a positive
change in normal operations of $2,647,374.
Table 2 below presents details on the change in Unrestricted Net Position.

While the result of operations is a significant measure of the Authoritys activities, the analysis of the changes in
unrestricted net position provides a clearer change in financial well-being of each of the program areas. The major
change in the unrestricted net position this period was a result of implementation of GASB 75 in the Other State
& Local program.

Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (the
Authority) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America as applied to governmental entities. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the Authoritys
more significant accounting policies:
A. Organization
The Authority was established pursuant to the State Health and Safety Code in 1941. The
Authority is a public entity organized under the laws of the State of Californias Health and
Safety Code to provide housing assistance to low and moderate income families at rents they
can afford. Eligibility is determined by family composition and income in areas served by
the Authority. To accomplish this purpose, the Authority has entered into Annual
Contributions Contracts with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) to operate assisted housing programs.
The governing board of the Authority is the County Board of Supervisors. The Authority is
a legally separate entity from the County, maintaining separate accounting records, staff, and
administration facilities. In addition, there is no financial benefit/burden relationship between
the County and the Authority and the County has limited or no opportunity to impose its will
upon the Authority because the Authority is governed by rules and regulations imposed by
the Federal government through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The County defines the Authority as a discretely presented component unit in its
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). A copy of this report may be obtained by
contacting the Office of the Auditor-Controller, 625 Court Street, Martinez, California 94553
or by visiting http://co.contra-costa.ca.us/.
B. Financial Reporting Entity
The Authoritys combined financial statements include the accounts of all the Authoritys
operations. The criteria used in determining the scope of the financial reporting entity is
based on provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards No. 61, The Financial
Reporting Entity. The financial statements of the Authority include the financial activity of
the Authority and any component units. The decision to include a potential component unit
in the reporting entity was made based on the significance of their operational or financial
nature and significance of their relationship with the Authority, including consideration of
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Authority
are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entitys financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete. Based on the aforementioned criteria, the Authority has blended

and discretely presented component units. The blended component units, although legally
separate entities, are, in substance, part of the Authoritys operations. Discretely presented
component units are reported in a separate column in the fund financial statements to
emphasize that they are legally separate from the government. The component units are as
follows:
Blended Component Units. HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc (A California Nonprofit Public
Benefit Corporation) and CDR Senior Housing Associates (A California Limited
Partnership) . HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc. is the general partner of CDR Senior Housing
Associates. The officers and Board members of HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc. are employees
of the Authority. The partnership was formed in 1994 to develop and operate an 82-unit
affordable housing rental complex located in Antioch, California, which is currently known
as Casa Del Rio Senior Housing.
Casa Del Rio Senior Housing was placed into service in 1995. Pursuant to the
Indemnification Agreement dated July 1, 1994, by and among the Authority, HACCC Casa
Del Rio, Inc., CDR Senior Housing Associates, and MHIFED I Limited Partnership, the
Authority could possibly be liable for unpaid taxes, interest and penalties, cost to contest,
operating deficiency and expenses of enforcement as identified in the Agreement and for a
sponsors operating guaranty to provide sufficient staff or equipment to the general partner,
as needed and remedies against sponsor for default under the Amended HCD Agreement.
Casa Del Rio Senior Housing participates in the low-income housing tax credit program
under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. Various agreements dictate the maximum
income levels of new tenants and also provide rent restrictions through 2054.
Casa Del Rio Apartments LLC was formed to replace the limited partner, Boston Capital,
of the Casa Del Rio Partnership. The officers and Board members of HACCC Casa Del Rio,
Inc, will direct the LLC.
Since HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc and CDR Senior Housing Associates have the potential to
impose a financial burden on the Authority, these entities have been included in the
Authoritys financial statements as blended component units. See also Note 14.
Discretely Presented Component Units. DeAnza Housing Corporation (A California
Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation) and DeAnza Gardens, L.P. (A California Limited
Partnership). The Authority is the General Partner and DeAnza Housing Corporation is the
managing general partner of DeAnza Gardens, L.P. The partnership was formed for the
purpose of acquisition, ownership, maintenance, and operation of 180 multi-family rental
housing units and the provision of low-income housing through the construction, renovation,

rehabilitation, operation, and leasing of an affordable housing development located in Contra
Costa County, which is currently known as DeAnza Gardens.
DeAnza Gardens was placed into service during 2005. It was built on land owned by and
leased from the Authority. Under the terms of the lease, title to the improvements revert to
the Authority at the end of the 75-year lease. Financing for construction was obtained
through notes from the Authority, Bank of America, and DeAnza Housing Corporation.
DeAnza Gardens participates in the low-income housing tax credit program under Section
42 of the Internal Revenue Code. Various agreements dictate the maximum income levels
of new tenants and also provide rent restrictions through 2078.
Since DeAnza Housing Corporation and DeAnza Gardens L.P. are other organizations for
which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Authority are such that
exclusion from the financial statements would cause the Authoritys financial statements to
be misleading or incomplete, these entities have been included in the Authoritys financial
statements as discretely presented component units. See also Note 14.
Complete audited financial statements are issued separately for each of the individual
component units listed above and may be obtained from the Housing Authority of the County
of Contra Costa, 3133 Estudillo Street, P.O. Box 2759, Martinez, California 94553.
C. Basis of Presentation
Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties
for goods or services. The Authoritys activities are strictly business-type. The Authority
has no fiduciary funds.
Fund Financial Statements:
Fund financial statements of the Authority are organized into funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for
within a separate set of self balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund
equity, revenues, and expenses/expenditures as appropriate. Government resources are
allocated to, and accounted for, in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they
are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. A fund is
considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the Authority or if total assets,
liabilities, revenue, or expenses/expenditures of the individual fund are at least 10 percent
of the Authority-wide total. The Authority considers all of its activity to be housing related
and therefore, considers all the financial activity of the Authority to be one major fund, titled
Housing. As such, the Authority has no non-major funds.

PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is that costs of
providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges. Enterprise funds are also used when the governing
body has decided that periodic determination of revenue earned, expenses incurred, or net
income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control,
accountability or other purposes. The Authoritys funds are operated as enterprise funds.
D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless
of the measurement focus applied.
The Proprietary Fund Types are accounted for on an economic resources measurement focus
using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and
expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Under this basis of accounting and
measurement focus, the Authority applies all GASB pronouncements.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses result from providing goods and services related to the
funds ongoing operations. The principal operating revenue of the Authoritys enterprise
funds is dwelling rental income. Operating expenses are necessary costs that have been
incurred in order to provide the good or service that is the primary activity of the fund. The
principal operating expenses of the Authoritys enterprise funds are employee salaries and
benefits, housing assistance payments, utilities, and the costs to maintain the owned units.
All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues
and expenses.
When the Authority incurs an expense for which both restricted and unrestricted resources
may be used, it is the Authoritys policy to use restricted resources first and then unrestricted
resources as needed.

E. Interfund Transactions
Statement of Net Position:
Short-term amounts due between funds are classified as Due from/to other funds. As of
March 31, 2018, the amounts due between the various proprietary funds totaled $1,155,044.
Operating advances made to the blended component units, HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc and
CDR Senior Housing Associates totaled $542,269 as of March 31, 2018. The interfund
balance as of December 31, 2017, was $535,568 and was reported as non-current related
party payable by the other auditors. The Statement of Net Position - Proprietary Funds,
reported as of March 31, 2018, shows $535,568 as both a noncurrent asset and as a
noncurrent liability. The difference of $6,701, due to the timing differences in fiscal year
end, is shown as other noncurrent assets (see also Note 14).
A long-term note due from the Management Enterprise Fund to the blended component unit,
HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc in the amount of $185,000 is reported as long-term notes
receivable and long-term debt. See also Notes 4 and 6.
These interfund assets and liabilities have been eliminated from the Statement of Net
Position - Proprietary Funds. For further detail, please see the Financial Data Schedule found
in the Supplementary Information section of this report.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position :
Participants of the Housing Choice Voucher Program have decided to occupy units owned
by the Authoritys blended component unit. Housing assistance payments made by the
Housing Choice Voucher and Continuum of Care Programs to Casa Del Rio Senior Housing
(CDR) totaled $19,891 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. CDR also paid the
Authority $52,452 during the current fiscal year for management fees.
The Authority utilizes a Central Office Enterprise Fund to account for administrative costs
that are not charged to its Public Housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and Continuum of Care
Program Enterprise Funds. The Housing Choice Voucher Enterprise Fund paid management
fees and bookkeeping fees in the amount of $1,296,333 and $565,312, respectively. The
Public Housing Enterprise Fund paid property management, bookkeeping, and asset
management fees in the amount of $1,014,674, $67,999, and $119,400, respectively. The
Continuum of Care Enterprise Fund was allocated costs of $53,084 in lieu of fees. These
costs, totaling $3,116,802, are reported as total fee revenue in the Central Office Enterprise
Fund and administrative expenses of the Public Housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and
Continuum of Care Enterprise Funds.

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2018
(Continued)
Beginning in fiscal year 2016, the Authority created a fund to account for the pension
transactions required by GASB Statement No. 68 Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pensions - an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27". Actual payments made to the
Authoritys pension plan administrator, the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement
Association (CCCERA), have been expensed to the Authoritys programs based on payroll
allocations effective at the time of payment. The State and Local Enterprise Fund for
Pension holds and accounts for the deferred outflows of resources generated when the
payments are made. The GASB 68 required accounts are adjusted annually at each actuarial
measurement date. During the current fiscal year, $1,960,938 of payments to CCCERA were
recorded as expenditures of the Authoritys various programs and as revenue of the State and
Local Enterprise Fund.
The Authority established the State and Local Enterprise Fund for OPEB to account for the
implementation of GASB 75 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment
Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB reporting for employers). The newly established
enterprise fund holds and accounts for the deferred outflows of resources generated when the
payments are made. During the current fiscal year, $534,467 of payments were recorded as
expenditures of the Authoritys various programs and as revenue of the State and Local
Enterprise Fund.
The Authority is required by HUD to pay HAP on behalf of other authorities with Housing
Choice Voucher Program participants residing within Contra Costa County. The Authority
is reimbursed for this HAP from the initiating housing authority. HUD requires this HAP
to be reported as an expense when paid to the landlord and as income when reimbursed from
the initiating housing authority. For the current fiscal year, the Authority paid $2,017,366
in HAP on behalf of other housing authorities. This amount is therefore reported as revenue
and expense of the Housing Choice Voucher Enterprise Fund.
CDR Inc earns interest of $13,912 on its loan with the Authority of $185,000. CDR Inc has
agreed to give the interest back to the Authority as a charitable contribution. This interest
revenue and expense were eliminated within the blended component unit enterprise fund.
Interfund transfers of $1,442,290 were made between the Authoritys funds this fiscal year.
Interfund transfers of $999,084 were made within the Public Housing enterprise Fund. This
represents the use of Capital Fund grants for Public Housing operating costs. Interfund
transfers of $49,721 were made from the Housing Choice Voucher Enterprise Fund to the
Family Self Sufficiency Enterprise Fund to assist in program funding short falls. Interfund
transfers of $26,015 were made from the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Enterprise Fund
to the Housing Choice Vouchers Enterprise Fund to cover prior year funding short falls.
Interfund transfers of $176,721 from the Continuum of Care Enterprise Fund to the Housing

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)
Choice Voucher Enterprise Fund were made to reverse all prior transfers, per HUD request.
Interfund transfers of $190,749 were made from the Central Office Cost Center Enterprise
Fund to the Continuum of Care Enterprise Fund to cover these funding shortfalls.
Interfund revenues and expenses of $5,684,550 have been eliminated from the Statement of
Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position - Proprietary Funds. This amount
includes the interfund HAP, management fees, bookkeeping fees, asset management fees,
pension plan payments, and OPEB plan payments. The transfers net to zero and are not
reported on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position -
Proprietary Funds. For further detail, please see the Financial Data Schedule found in the
Supplementary Information section of this report.
F. Cash and Investments
Cash includes amounts in demand deposits and saving accounts. Investments are reported
in the accompanying statement at market value. All of the Authoritys investments can be
converted to cash in a relatively short amount of time. Therefore, all cash and investments
are used in the Statement of Cash Flows.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as interest income
reported for that fiscal year. Interest income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value,
and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.
The Authority pools cash and investments of all programs. Each programs share in this pool
is displayed in the accompanying Financial Data Schedule as cashand investments. Interest
income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each
funds average cash and investment balance.
G. Accounts Receivable
Receivables are principally amounts due from HUD and tenants. Allowance for doubtful
accounts has been provided based on the likelihood of the recovery.
H. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, acquired for Proprietary Funds
are capitalized in the respective funds to which they apply. The Authority has an established
capitalization policy, which requires all acquisitions of property and equipment in excess of
$5,000 and all expenditures for repairs, maintenance, renewals, and betterments that
materially prolong the useful lives of assets to be capitalized. Property and equipment are
recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated
capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Interest
23
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 49
Note 1 (continued)
HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2018
(Continued)
expense incurred during the development period is capitalized. The costs of normal
maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets
lives are not capitalized.
Depreciation of exhaustible capital assets used by Proprietary Funds is charged as an expense
against operations, and accumulated depreciation is reported on the Statement of Net
Position. Capital assets are being depreciated using the straight-line basis over the useful
lives of the assets. The useful lives are generally 27.5 years for buildings, 10 years for
modernization, 5 years for vehicles, furniture and equipment, and 3 years for computer
equipment. Salvage value on all depreciable equipment is assumed to be insignificant and
therefore valued at $0.
I. Compensated Absences
It is the Authoritys policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation
and sick pay benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave since the
government does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees separate from
service with the Authority. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred and allocated to the
appropriate proprietary fund. Total liability for the Authority is $393,465 based on year-end
hourly rates. Of this amount $305,304 is considered by the Authority to be a current liability.
J. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the Statement of Financial Position will sometimes include a separate
section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element
represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that time. The Authoritys deferred
outflows of resources consist of (1) items associated with, and referred to in, the actuarial
report of the defined benefit pension plan, and (2) payments made on behalf of employees
to the defined benefit pension plan after the measurement date of the actuarial report. See
also Note 11.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Financial Position will sometimes include a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element
represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Authoritys deferred
inflows of resources consist of items associated with, and referred to in, the actuarial report
of the defined benefit pension plan. See also Note 11.
It is the Authoritys practice to report deferred outflows and inflows of resources in the
aggregate on the Statement of Net Position.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)
K. Net Position
Net position represents the differences between assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. Net position consists of net investment in
capital assets; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position. Net investment in capital
assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding
balances of borrowing used for acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets
(excluding interfund borrowing and including accrued interest). Net position is reported as
restricted when there are limitations imposed on its use through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws
or regulations of other governments.
L. Income Taxes
The Authority is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The Authority is also exempt
from property taxes but makes payments in lieu of taxes on owned housing.
M. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The Board of Commissioners adopts an operating budget effective April 1 annually. This
budget may be revised by the Board of Commissioners during the year to give consideration
to unanticipated revenue and expenditures primarily resulting from events unknown at the
time of budget adoption.
N. Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of
resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources; the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities; and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
O. Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting is not employed by the Authority.
P. Grant Restrictions
The Authority has received loans and grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The grants require that only individuals and families that meet various
income, age and employment standards be housed or aided.

Q. Cost Allocation Procedures
Cost allocation procedures are divided into one of the following three methods, 1) Direct
Costs, 2) Indirect Costs, 3) Fee for Service.
Direct Allocation Method: this method is used when the cost being incurred directly benefits
a specific program, region, development, project or site. Allocation at the regional,
development, project or site level shall be allocated by using the ratio of number of bedrooms
managed (zero bedroom units will count as 1). Allocation at the Program level will be based
on a common factor within the program area, such as units within a grant, grant award
amounts, or other reasonable factors where allowed.
Indirect Allocation Method: this method is used when the cost being incurred is for a
common or joint objective and therefore does not directly benefit a specific program, region,
development, project or site. These costs will be allocated using a rationale from direct
salary allocation plan consistent with Uniform Guidance. The direct salary allocation plan
will be established annually as a part of the annual budget process.
Fee for Service Method: this method is used when an employee performs work outside of
their budgeted allocation. The fee for service method will reduce the allocations of salary
and benefits from the program that the position was originally budgeted for. This method
should be documented on a time reporting process, either by way of time card or activity log
or both.
R. Loan Costs
The Authority has implemented GASB Statement No. 65 Items Previously Reported as
Assets and Liabilities. The Statement requires that debt issuance costs be reported as
expenses when incurred since they no longer meet the definition of an asset. The component
units are nonprofit public benefit corporations and limited partnerships and they follow the
guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board for their financial reporting. Certain
recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB. For instance, prior
to January 1, 2017, these entities reported debt issuance costs as an asset amortized over
time. During 2017, these entities adopted new accounting guidance required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United State of America and changed its method of
accounting for debt issuance costs and related amortization of such costs. The net of these
costs are now reported as a direct reduction of notes payable. No modifications have been
made to the audited financial information as presented. The unamortized value of the loan
costs does not have a material effect on the Authoritys net position. Net loan costs of
$21,676 have been netted with long-term debt of the primary government, for the blended
component units, while $56,759 have been netted with long-term debt of the component
units, for the discretely presented component units.

S. Pension Plan
The Authority participates in a cost-sharing multi-employer defined benefit retirement plan
that is administered by the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Association
(CCCERA). Contributions to CCCERA are made on a current basis as required by the plan
and are charged to expenditures. The Authority used actuarial reports supplied by CCCERA
for the purpose of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of
resources related to the pension plan. The valuation date of the latest actuarial report was
December 31, 2017, with a measurement date for employer reporting as of June 30, 2018.
T. Postemployment Benefits Other than Pension (OPEB)
The Authority provides a defined benefit health care program to its retired employees and
their dependents. The Authority has established a trust account to administer the funding of
the OPEB plan. The Authority used actuarial valuation reports supplied by OPEB
consultants to recognize net OPEB liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and
expenses related to the plan in accordance with GASB 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions . The dates of the latest report
are (1) valuation date of April 1, 2016, (2) measurement date of June 30, 2017, and (3) fiscal
year end of March 31, 2018.
U. New Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements Implemented During the Current Fiscal Year
GASB Statement No. 74 Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than
Pension Plans - The objective of this Statement is to improve the usefulness of information
about postemployment benefits other than pensions (other postemployment benefits or
OPEB) included in the general purpose external financial reports of state and local
governmental OPEB plans for making decisions and assessing accountability. The
requirements of this Statement improve financial reporting primarily through enhanced note
disclosures and schedules of required supplemental information that were presented by
OPEB plans that are administered through trusts that meet the specific criteria. There was
no financial impact as a result of the implementation of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits
Other than Pensions - The primary objective of this Statement is to improve accounting and
financial reporting by state and local governments for postemployment benefits other than
pensions (other postemployment benefits or OPEB). The primary requirements of this
Statement are the recognition of the entire OPEB liability and a more comprehensive
measure of OPEB expense. The implementation of this Statement resulted in a restatement,
decreasing beginning net position of the primary government by $2,824,938. See also
footnote 12 to the basic financial statements.

Pronouncements to be Implemented in Subsequent Years
In June 2017, the GASB issued Statement No. 87, Leases. The implementation of GASB
Statement No. 87 will occur in the next fiscal year. The objective of this statement is to
better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and
financial reporting for leases by governments. The statement requires the recognition of
certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases
and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment
provision of the contract. The impact of this pronouncement is not know at this time.

Disclosure Related to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity
of its fair value to changes in the market rates. See the table shown later in this note titled
Investment Disclosure for the maturity dates for each of the Authoritys investments.
Disclosures related to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. See the table shown later in this note titled Investment
Disclosure for the ratings assigned to the issuer for each of the Authoritys investments.
Concentration of Credit Risk
See the table shown later in this note titled Investment Disclosure to determine how the
Authoritys investments are concentrated. These investments are owned by the following
programs:
Public Housing Program $ 2,127,186 43.31%
Housing Choice Voucher Program 1,387,870 28.26%
Central Office Cost Center 897,965 18.28%
Other State and Local Programs 498,399 10.15%
Total investments $ 4,911,420
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to
recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California
Government Code and the Authoritys investment policy do not contain legal or policy
requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the
30
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 56
Note 2 (continued)
HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2018
(Continued)
following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires California banks and
savings and loan associations to secure the Authoritys deposits not covered by federal deposit
insurance by pledging mortgages or government securities as collateral. The market value of the
pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited
by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure Authority
deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public
deposits. Such collateral must be held in the pledging banks trust department in a separate
depository in an account for the Authority.
The custodial risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty
(broker-dealer, etc) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California
Government Code and the Authoritys investment policy do not contain legal or policy
requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. With respect
to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable
securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local governments indirect investment in
securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).
The Authority has executed a General Depository Agreement with WestAmerica Bank dated
October 24, 2005. This agreement states that any portion of PHA funds not insured by a Federal
insurance organization shall be fully (100%) and continuously collateralized with specific and
identifiable U.S. Government or Agency securities prescribed by HUD.
The Authoritys exposure to custodial credit risk is as follows:
Demand deposits with banks, fully insured by FDIC $ 250,000
Demand deposits with banks covered by depository agreements 3,740,507
Cash held by investment companies 39,972
Deposits held by CHFA 632,471
Total demand deposits and cash held by other agencies $ 4,662,950

The Authority categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by GAAP. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the
asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are
significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The
32

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)
hierarchy for the Authoritys investments are considered Level 2, except for the LAIF investments
which are not subject to fair value hierarchy.
The Authority has not executed a General Depository Agreement with either the Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF) or Cantella Investments (the Authoritys broker for investments other
than LAIF).
The Authority is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State
of California. The LAIF is a special fund of the California State Treasury through which local
governments may pool investments. Each government agency may invest up to $30,000,000 in
each account in the fund. Investments in LAIF are highly liquid, as deposits can be converted to
cash within twenty-four hours without loss of interest or principal. The full faith and credit of the
State of California secure investments in LAIF.
At March 31, 2018, an account was maintained in the name of the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa for $498,175. The total cost value of investment in LAIF was $498,175.
The total fair value of investments in LAIF was $496,949. The fair value total includes an
unrealized loss on investments of $1,226. The unrealized loss was based on a fair value
adjustment factor of 0.997538001 that was calculated by the State of California Treasurers
Office. The unrealized loss was not recorded by the Authority and is considered immaterial. Of
the $498,175 invested in LAIF, $500,029 is recorded as assets of the Authority. The difference
includes $1,854 of interest receivable from LAIF as of March 31, 2018, shown by the Authority
as investments.
LAIF is a part of the State of California Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA). At March
31, 2018, the fair value of the State of California Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA),
including accrued interest, was $75,021,981,682. The PMIA portfolio had securities in the form
of structured notes totaling $825 million and asset-backed securities totaling $1,295,137,000. The
PMIA has policies, goals and objectives for the portfolio to make certain that the goals of safety,
liquidity, and yield are not jeopardized. These policies are formulated by investment staff and
reviewed by both the PMIA and LAIF Advisory Boards on an annual basis. LAIFs and the
Authoritys exposure to credit, market, or legal risk is not available.
During 2002, California Government code was added to the LAIFs enabling legislation stating
that the right of a city, county...special district...to withdraw its deposited money from the LAIF
upon demand may not be altered, impaired, or denied in any way by any state official or state
agency based upon the States failure to adopt a State Budget by July 1 of each new fiscal year.
In addition, it has been determined that the State of California cannot declare bankruptcy under
Federal regulations. This allows other government code stating that money placed with the State
Treasurer for deposit in the LAIF shall not be subject to ...transfer or loan...or impound or seizure
by any state official or state agency to stand.

The Authority has made deferred payment loans to individuals and organizations under the
Countys Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Rental Rehabilitation (RR)
Programs. These loans are secured by deeds of trust in the name of the County of Contra Costa
or the City of Antioch. These programs are revolving loan programs administered by the
Authority. Any repayments of outstanding loans, or interest on the loans, must be used for new
loans or program administration as authorized by the County or the City of Antioch. These loans
typically earn 3% interest per annum. These notes receivable, along with all of the accrued
interest, are offset by an equal amount shown in other noncurrent liabilities (See Note 9).
The Authority administers an employee loan program whereby employees can borrow funds for
the purpose of purchasing a computer to be used at home. These loans accrue no interest.
Payments are made through the payroll system.
Pursuant to a demand note dated June 30, 1994, the Authority may be liable to HACCC Casa Del
Rio, Inc for $185,000. Although the note is due upon demand, the maturity date is December 31,
2059. The note will be called prior to maturity only in the event that there are operating deficits
and there is insufficient cash available to cover expenses.
The Authority has also issued a note to the DeAnza Gardens, L.P., which is a discretely presented
component unit of the Authority (see Note 1.B.). The note bears simple interest at the rate 3%
per annum, payments are due commencing on October 1, 2005, but are payable only to the extent
of the previous years excess/distributable cash, and is due June 2043. No payments, of interest
or principal, have been received on this loan.
Not shown on the previous schedule, the DeAnza Housing Corporation issued a note in the
amount of $1,000,000 bearing simple interest at 6.8%, to be paid in full June 2043. This second
note is an intra-fund transaction. DeAnza Gardens L.P. owes the DeAnza Housing Corporation.
This loan has been eliminated from the discretely presented component unit column of the
Statement of Net Position. Since this loan does not effect the Authority, it is not shown in the
table on the prior page.

During December 2006, the Authority purchased an office building to house the staff of their
Housing Choice Voucher Program. To facilitate this purchase, the Authority borrowed $2,847,500
from WestAmerica Bank on December 15, 2006. Originally, the interest on this loan was 6.75%
per annum. The interest rate decreased to 6% in 2012 and 5.25% in 2013. On November 1, 2015,
the terms of the loan agreement with WestAmerica Bank were changed. As of November 1, 2015,
the $2,335,903 loan will be amortized over 120 months, is due November 1, 2025, requires
monthly payments of $24,685, and accrues interest at a fixed rate of 4.850% per annum. Interest
of $98,211 and loan fees of $2,850 were paid to WestAmerica Bank and expensed during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2018.
The California Housing Finance Agency note, received through the State of California, is dated
November 14, 1994. The original amount borrowed was $600,000. The loan carries a simple
interest rate of 7.8% per annum. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of
$4,319. The note is due in full December 2024. Interest in the amount of $22,987 was paid and
expensed during the calendar year ended December 31, 2017.
The Rental Housing Construction Program note, received through the State of California, is dated
January 15, 1993. The original amount borrowed was $2,626,618. The loan accrues interest at
a rate of 3% per annum. Payments are required on this loan only to the extent that the Casa Del
Rio project has surplus cash. This note and interest on the note are due June 5, 2054. No principal
or interest payments were made on this loan during the year ended December 31, 2017. Interest
was expensed in the amount of $78,787. The amount of deferred interest accrued as payable as
of the end of the fiscal year was $1,882,677. The entire amount is considered to be long-term and
is shown as other noncurrent liabilities. See also Note 9.
Costs incurred in order to obtain permanent financing for the Casa Del Rio notes were $94,143
and are amortized on a straight-line basis into interest expense over the term of the loan. Interest
expense amortization of permanent loan costs was $3,140 during the current fiscal year.
Pursuant to a demand note dated June 30, 1994, the Authority may be liable to HACCC Casa Del
Rio, Inc for $185,000. Although the note is due upon demand, the maturity date is December 31,
2059. The note will be called prior to maturity only in the event that there are operating deficits
and there is insufficient cash available to cover expenses.
Note 7 - PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES
In connection with the Public Housing Program, the Authority is obligated to make annual
payments in lieu of property taxes based on the lesser of 25% of the assessable value of owned
housing, times the current tax rate; or 10% of the dwelling rents, net of utilities expense. At
March 31, 2018, $92,763 was expensed for payment in lieu of taxes. Approximately 75% is
payable as of March 31, 2018 and is shown as Due to Other Agencies.

Housing Choice Voucher - HAP $ 866,873
Casa Del Rio Senior Housing - Reserves 632,471
Restricted net position $ 1,499,344
In 2012, HUD implemented cash management procedures which mitigated the accumulation
of excess HAP in Net Restricted Asset accounts by PHAs. These procedures based the
payment of HAP on actual need reported by PHAs in the Voucher Management System
(VMS). Most excess allocation is now held by HUD until PHAs demonstrate the need for
the disbursement of funds. The balance in the HUD held reserves as of March 31, 2018 was
approximately $400,000.
The restricted net position associated with the Casa Del Rio Senior Housing represents
replacement and operating reserves required by CHFA. These funds are being held by CHFA
and are fully funded. See also Note 3.
C. Deficit Unrestricted Net Position
The Authoritys Other State and Local Enterprise Fund had a deficit unrestricted net position
balance as of March 31, 2018, of $10,299,000. This deficit is the result of the Authoritys
compliance with GASB Statement 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions -
an amendment of GASB Statement 27 and GASB Statement 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB). The Other State and
Local Enterprise Fund holds the deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of
resources, the net pension liability, and the OPEB liability of the Authoritys plans. These
balances change annually as payments are made to the plan and as actuarial information is
received regarding the plan.

Note 11 - RETIREMENT PLAN
A. Plan Description
The Authority participates in a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit retirement
plan that is administered by the Contra Costa County Employees’ Retirement Association
(CCCERA) under the Countys Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (1937 Act) and the
Public Employees Pension Act of 2013 (PEPRA). A more detailed description of the plan
and the benefits provided can be obtained from the CCCERAs Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report and the CCCERAs Actuarial Valuation and Review, which are located at
www.cccera.org. CCCERA is a component unit of the County of Contra Costa.
CCCERA follows accounting principles and reporting guidelines set forth by GASB. The
financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America, under which revenues are recognized when earned and
deductions are recorded when the liability is incurred. Contributions are recognized in the
period due, investment income is recognized as revenue when earned, retirement benefits and
refunds of contributions are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms
of the Plan. Investments are carried at fair value. There have been no significant changes
to the plan.
B. Benefits Provided
All full-time employees of the Authority participate in this plan. There are currently 77
active plan members and 69 retirees or beneficiaries receiving benefits. The plan provides
death, disability and service retirement benefits, in accordance with the 1937 ACT. Annual
cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) to retirement benefits can be granted by the Retirement
Board as provided by State statutes. The Authority has two applicable tiers, Tier 1 Enhanced
and PEPRA Tier IV (3% Max COLA).
Tier 1 Enhanced employees are those with a membership prior to January 1, 2013. These
members are eligible to retire once they attain the age of 70 regardless of service or at age
50, with 10 or more years of retirement service credit. A member with 30 years of service
is eligible to retire regardless of age. Benefits are calculated pursuant to Section 31676.16
for Enhanced Benefit Formulae. The monthly allowance is 1/50th (Enhanced) of final
compensation times years of accrued retirement service credit times age factor from Section
31676.16 (Enhanced). The maximum retirement benefit is 100% of final compensation.
Final average compensation consists of the highest 12 consecutive months.
PEPRA Tier IV employees are those with a membership on or after January 1, 2013. These
members are eligible to retire once they have attained the age of 70 regardless of service or
at 52, with five years of retirement service credits. Benefits are calculated pursuant to the
provisions found in California Government Code Section 7522.20(a). The monthly

allowance is equal to the final compensation multiplied by years of accrued retirement credit
multiplied by the age factor from Section 7522.20(a). There is no final compensation limit
in the maximum retirement benefit for this tier. Final average compensation consist of the
highest 36 consecutive months.
C. Contributions
The Authority contributes to the retirement plan based upon actuarially determined
contribution rates adopted by the Board of Retirement. Employer contribution rates are
adopted annually based upon recommendations received from the CCCERA actuary after the
completion of the annual actuarial valuation. Contribution rates for Tier 1 vary based on the
employees age at entry into the plan. Members are required to make contributions to
CCCERA regardless of the retirement plan or tier in which they are included. The rates and
contributions made during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 were as follows:
Payroll

The contributions made by the Authority of $2,329,159, including $186,698 employer
subvention of member contributions. As of March 31, 2018, the Authority owed CCCERA
$230,696. This liability is short-term, represents March contributions paid in April 2018,
and is reported as accrued salaries and related costs in the Statement of Net Position -
Proprietary Funds.
D. Net Pension Liability
The Governmental Accounting Standards 68 Actuarial Valuation Based on December 31,
2017 Measurement Date for Employer Reporting as of June 30, 2018 , provided by CCCERA
outlines the net pension liability (NPL) allocated to its member employers as based on the
following definition of covered payroll - Only compensation earnable and pensionable
would go into the determination of retirement benefits. The NPL was measured as of
December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Plans Fiduciary Net Position was valued as of the
measurement date while the TPL was determined based upon rolling forward the results of
the actuarial valuations as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, any
changes in actuarial assumptions or plan provisions that occurred between the valuation date
and the measurement date have been reflected.

F. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability (TPL) as of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 were
determined by actuarial valuations as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,
respectively. The actuarial assumptions used were based on the results of an experience
study for the period January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014. They are the same as the
assumptions used in the CCCERA funding actuarial valuations as of December 31, 2017 and
2016 funding actuarial valuations for CCCERA. The following actuarial assumptions were
applied to all periods included in the measurement for both the December 31, 2017 and 2016
actuarial valuations.

When measuring pension liability GASB uses the same actuarial cost method (Entry Age
method) and the same type of discount rate (expected return on assets) as CCCERA uses for
funding. This means that the TPL measured for financial reporting shown in this report is
determined on generally the same basis as CCCERAs actuarial accrued liability (AAL)
measure for funding.
Mortality rates for member contribution rates for members were based on the Headcount
Weighted RP-2014 Healthy Annuitant Mortality Table, projected to 2034 with the two-
dimensional MP-2015 projection scale, weighted 30% male and 70% female.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments determined in 2017 using
a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of inflation) are developed for each major asset class. This information is combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of
return by the target asset allocation percentage, adding expected inflation and subtracting
expected investment expenses and a risk margin.
The target allocation (approved by the CCCERA Board) and projected arithmetic real rates
of return for each major asset class, after deducting inflation but before deducting investment
expensed, used in the derivation of the long-term expected investment rate of return
assumption are summarized in the following table:

The discount rate used to measure the TPL was 7% as of both December 31, 2017 and
December 31, 2016. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate
assumed employer and employee contributions will be made at the rates equal to the
actuarially determined contribution rates. For this purpose, only employee and employer
contributions that are intended to fund benefits for current plan members and their
beneficiaries are included. Projected employer contributions that are intended to fund the
service costs for future plan members and their beneficiaries, as well as projected
contributions for future plan members, are not included. Based on those assumptions, the
Pension Plans Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments for current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate
of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the TPL as of both December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Note 12 - POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION
Plan Description: Contra Costa County Housing Authority (The Authority) administers a single-
employer, defined benefit health care plan. Currently, the plan provides postemployment medical
and dental insurance benefits to eligible employees, and their dependents, who retire from the
Authority and commence receiving their CCCERA pension at the time of retirement. Health
benefit provisions for active employees are established and may be amended through negotiations
between the Authority and their bargaining unit and employee groups. The Authority does not
issue a separate audit report on its post retirement health benefit plan.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors appointed the Executive Director of the Authority
as the Plan Administrator. As of March 31, 2018, Public Agency Retirement Services is the Trust
Administrator.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors has the right at any time and for any reason, in
its sole discretion, to modify, alter, or amend the Plan in whole or in any part, in any manner and
without limit, including reducing or eliminating the payment of any benefits. WestAmerica Bank
(Trustee) shall, upon written direction of the Plan Administrator, make distributions from the
assets of the Trust to the insurers, third party administrators, health care and welfare providers or
other entities providing Plan benefits or services, or to the employer for reimbursement of Plan
benefits ad expenses paid by the employer.
Benefits: The Authority has contracted with Kaiser Permanente, Anthem, United Healthcare,
Blue Shield, and the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) to provide
medical benefits and Delta Dental for dental benefits.

The Authority contributes the cost of retiree medical and dependent medical and dental coverage
up to specified limits. The maximum monthly contributions are:
Coverage Level Maximum Monthly Contribution
Retiree $345
Retiree +1 $679
Retiree +2 $980
These caps are not expected to increase in the future. At the retirees death a surviving spouse
may elect to continue coverage. However, they must contribute 100% of the required
contribution. The retiree dental plan is the same as the plan provided to active employees.
Monthly dental only premiums are:
Coverage Level Dental Only Premium
Retiree $ 63.72
Retiree +1 $110.81
Retiree +2 $186.36
Eligibility: Eligibility for retiree medical and dental benefits generally require an employee to (1)
be age 50 or older with at least 10 years of service with the Authority, (2) be age 55 or older with
at least 5 years of service with the Authority, or (3) have completed 30 or more years of service
with the Authority.
Demographic Data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017:
Retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits 64
Active plan members 81
Total 145
Contributions: The contribution requirements of program members and the Authority are
determined by negotiations between the Authority and the respective unions and employee
groups. There is currently no requirement for employees to contribute to the plan.
In 2016, The Authority established a trust account with the Public Agency Retirement Services
(PARS) to administer the funding of the projected benefits of the OPEB plan. Monthly, the
Authority makes healthcare premium payments for its current retirees to the benefit providers.
The retiree contributes any necessary amount of the premium cost that exceeds the specific
established plan limits. The Authority then makes deposits into their PARS trust account for the
difference between the actuarially determined annual OPEB cost and the out-of-pocket payments
made to the healthcare benefit providers.

Annual OPEB Expense and Net OPEB Liability - At June 30, 2017, the Authority reported
$5,726,101 for the net OPEB liability. The net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2017,
and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was based on an actuarial
valuation as of April 1, 2016. The actuarial report presents liabilities as of the measurement date
of June 30, 2017 that are based on an interim valuation. When an interim valuation is performed,
both the census data and the assumptions and methods do not need to be updated; while the assets,
plan provision changes materially impacting the results, and the discount rate are updated. The
Authoritys net OPEB liability was based on a projection of the Authoritys covered payroll of
$5,182,762.
Plan Fiduciary Net Position (plan assets) was valued as of the measurement date while the total
OPEB liability was determined based upon rolling forward the total OPEB liability from actuarial
valuations as of April 1, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the Plan Fiduciary Net Position was
$202,266.
For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Authority recognized OPEB expense of $590,638. OPEB
expense represents the change in the net OPEB liability during the measurement period, adjusted

The Authority implemented GASB Statement No. 75 Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, during the current fiscal year. This Statement
establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of resources,
deferred inflows of resources, and expense. To comply with this Statement and recognize the full
amount of the Total OPEB Liability, the Authority reported a prior period adjustment of
$2,824,938. Please note that this amount differs from the total prior period adjustment by $1,768,

which represents an adjustment to recognize interest earned on restricted funds in prior years and
required by HUD to be returned (see also Note 3).
At March 31, 2018, the Authority reported deferred inflows of resources and deferred outflows
of resources related to OPEB for the following resources:
Deferred Deferred
Outflows Inflows
Differences between expected and actual
experience in the measurement of TOL $ $ 8,562
Changes in assumptions -
Net differences between projected and actual
earnings of OPEB plan investments -3,750
Balances per actuarial report - measurement date 6/30/2017 - 12,312
Employer contributions made July 2017 thru March 2018 468,447 -
Balances reported March 31, 2018 $ 468,447 $ 12,312
Deferred outflows and inflows of resources, other than the employer contributions noted above,
will be recognized in future pension expense as follows:
Measurement period:
2019 $ (3,953)
2020 (3,953)
2021 (3,470)
2022 (936)
$ (12,312)
The amount reported as deferred outflows of resources related to employer contributions made
January through March 2018, should have the effect of reducing net pension liability during the
next actuarial measurement period.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes
are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members)
and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern
of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial
methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-
term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the
long-term perspective of the calculations.
The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of April 1, 2016, with a
valuation date of June 30, 2017. The Entry Age Normal actuarial cost method was used, a method
under which the actuarial present value of the projected benefits of each individual included in
the valuation is allocated on a level basis over the earnings or service of the individual between
51

entry age and assumed exit ages. The portion of this Actuarial Present Value allocated to a
valuation year is called the normal cost. The methodology used for amortization was straight-line.
For assumption changes and experience gains/losses, it was assumed Average Future Working
Lifetime, averages over all activities and retirees (retirees are assumed to have no future working
years). Asset gains and losses are assumed 5 years. Assets are valued at the market value of
assets as of the measurement date. The Authority intends to contribute the ADC to the PARS
trust each year. In addition pay-as-you-go benefit payments will be paid outside of the trust.
The Authority used the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the
measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Inflation 2.00% annually
Payroll increases 3.25% annually
Net investment return 7.39% based on PARS capital appreciation investment policy
Discount rate 7.39% based on PARS capital appreciation investment policy

Baseline cost Pre-Medicare $9,136 per year
Post-Medicare $3,638 per year
Administrative expenses Assumed no fees other than those included in premium rates.
Health plan participation 90% of active employees who are currently enrolled in medical and
dental coverage and retire from the Authority will elect to
participate in the retiree medical and dental program. Furthermore
70% of active employees who are currently only enroled in dental
coverage and retire from the Authority will elect to participate in
the retiree medical and dental program.

Note 13 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Authority offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan is administered by Mass Mutual Financial Group.
The plan, available to all regular employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until
future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of compensation deferred under the
plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those
amounts, property, or rights are held in trust for the exclusive benefits of participants and their
beneficiaries.
A total of $3,692,741 is being held by Mass Mutual Financial Group on behalf of the Authoritys
employees. These funds are not recorded as assets of the Authority since they are held in trust for
the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries and are not subject to claims of the
Authoritys general creditors.

as of December 31, 2017. The majority of the entitys assets are either invested in capital assets
or restricted, leaving the unrestricted net position in deficit by $3,002,732. This deficit is an

Note 15 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A. Grants
The Authority has received funds from various federal, state and local grant programs. It is
possible that at some future date it may be determined that the Authority was not in
compliance with applicable grant requirements. The amount, if any, of expenditures which
may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time although the
Authority does not expect such disallowed amounts, if any, to materially affect the financial
statements.
B. Line of Credit
On January 5, 2018, the Authority renewed an agreement with WestAmerica Bank for a $1
million line of credit. The interest rate is variable, but will not exceed the amount allowed
by law. The initial rate for this line of credit was 6.5%. It is the Authoritys intention to use
this line of credit to cover any shortage in cash flow, if any, that may arise over the term of
the loan. No amounts were drawn on this line of credit during the current fiscal year.
C. Litigation
The Authority is involved in various matters of litigation. It is the Authoritys opinion that
these matters of litigation will not have a material effect, if any, on the financial position of
the Authority.
D. Audit by Funding Agency
During 2018, the Office of Housing Voucher Program, Quality Assurance Division staff
conducted an on-site Financial Management Review. The final version of the report has not
yet been issued. It is the Authoritys opinion that any matters of discussion will not have a
material effect, if any, on the financial position of the Authority.

Note 16 - ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE
The Authority receives a significant portion of its revenue from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development. See the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, shown as
supplemental information, for the HUD programs that the Authority administers. These programs
are currently on-going. However, they are dependent on the Federal budgeting processes, and
therefore, funding will vary from year to year.
Note 17 - RISK MANAGEMENT
Workers Compensation Insurance: The Authority participates in a joint venture under a joint
powers agreement (JPA) with the California Housing Workers Compensation Authority
(CHWCA). CHWCA was formed to provide workers compensation insurance coverage for
member housing authorities. At December 31, 2017, there were thirty-two members. The
relationship between the Authority and CHWCA is such that CHWCA is not a component unit of
the Authority for financial reporting purposes.
Condensed CHWCA audited financial information is as follows:
December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016
Total assets $ 27,349,298 $ 26,789,732
Total liabilities (15,055,537) (15,021,154)
Net position $ 12,293,761 $ 11,768,578
Total revenues $ 6,348,609 $ 5,351,150
Total expenses (5,823,426)(3,288,286)
Net change in net position $ 525,183 $ 2,062,864
CHWCA had no long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2017. The Authoritys share of year
end assets, liabilities, or retained earnings has not been calculated. The Authoritys annual
premium is based on covered payroll. Premiums paid for the calendar year ended December 31,
2017 were $246,025. CHWCA issues a separate annual financial report, which may be obtained
by contacting Bickmore Risk Services, 6371 Auburn Blvd, #B, Citrus Heights, California, 95621.
Property and Liability Insurance: The Authority carries insurance for its various operations with
the Housing Authority Insurance Services (HAI), the Housing Authority Risk Retention Group
(HARRG), and Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA). The property insurance limits
vary by property covered, with a deductible of $50,000 per occurrence. The commercial liability
limit of coverage is $5,000,000 aggregate for the policy year. The deductible is $25,000 per
occurrence. The liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage liability ($5 million
limit), mold liability ($250,000 limit), and employee benefits administration liability ($1 million
limit, with a deductible of $1,000 per employee). The automobile insurance limits are $4 million
for liability, $1 million for non-owned hired autos, and $1 million for uninsured motorists.
Employment liability insurance coverage through ERMA is $1 million with a $50,000 deductible
per occurrence. Premiums paid for this coverage were approximately $167,600 for the policy year
beginning June 1, 2017.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Board of Commissioners
Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa
Martinez, California
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America
and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the business-type activities of the
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, California, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018,
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa, Californias basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
November 30, 2018. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements
of the blended component units and discretely presented component units, as described in our report on the
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, Californias financial statements. This report does not
include the results of the other auditors testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance
and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Housing Authority of
the County of Contra Costa, California’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to
determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing
our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, Californias internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Housing Authority of the County of
Contra Costa, Californias internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Authoritys
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Board of Commissioners
Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa
Martinez, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, Californias compliance with the
types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct
and material effect on each of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, Californias major
federal programs for the year ended March 31, 2018. The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa,
California’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions
of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Housing Authority of the County
of Contra Costa, California’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance
requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and
the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those
standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that
could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence about the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, California’s compliance
with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the
circumstances.

RECOMMENDATIONS
ADOPT Resolution No. 5219 approving updates to the California Housing Workers' Compensation
Authority (CHWCA) Joint Powers Agreement.
BACKGROUND
CHWCA is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) that provides a shared risk pool for workers' compensation
claims to 33 housing authorities. Our Housing Authority was a founding member of CHWCA and we have
received workers' compensation coverage from CHWCA since 1990.
At its November 15, 2018 meeting, CHWCA's Executive Committee reviewed various proposed changes to
CHWCA’s governing documents, including the By-Laws, the Financial Stability Plan, the Underwriting
Guidelines and the Joint Powers Agreement. Changes to the first three were approved by the Executive
Committee, as it is empowered to do. Changes to the JPA Agreement, however, require approval of
two-thirds of the CHWCA Members, acting through their governing bodies. Hence, this Board Order and
attached Resolution.

The proposed changes are considered relatively modest, and are as follows:
Update language to capture technical differences in the terms “reinsurance” and “excess insurance;”
Clarify intent as to discontinuing business if a meeting quorum is lost;
Replace the self-insurance term “contribution” for the insurance term “premium;”
Clarify intent in the liability and indemnification article;

FISCAL IMPACT
None. The proposed changes are minor grammatical, clarifying and technical corrections.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the proposed changes to CHWCA's JPA
Agreement, this could delay the improvement of CHWCA's existing Agreement.

RECOMMENDATIONS
ADOPT Resolution No. 5220 titled "Resolution Approving the Transfer of the Richmond Housing
Authority's Housing Choice Voucher and Project-Based Voucher Programs to the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa" and AUTHORIZE the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa's
Executive Director to send a letter to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development indicating
that HACCC will accept the transfer of the Richmond Housing Authority's Housing Choice Voucher and
Project-Based Voucher Programs.
BACKGROUND
As has been discussed with HACCC's Board previously, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), the City of Richmond and the Housing Authority of the City of Richmond (RHA)
have been discussing for more than a year the possibility of transferring RHA's voucher programs to
another housing authority. In accord with HUD Notice PIH 2018-12 (attached), HACCC has been discussed
as the preferred housing authority to transfer RHA's voucher programs. This is because HACCC is in the
same state as RHA, has jurisdictional authority to administer RHA's voucher programs, has the
administrative capacity to manage RHA's existing voucher programs and is a High Performer under HUD's
Section 8 Management Assessment Program.

Subject:VOLUNTARY TRANSFER OF THE RICHMOND HOUSING AUTHORITY'S HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER
AND PROJECT-BASED VOUCHER PROGRAMS TO THE COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 132
BACKGROUND (CONT'D)
At their meeting on February 5, 2019, the RHA Board of Commissioners agreed to formally ask HUD to
transfer HACCC's voucher programs to HACCC. This request is only for RHA's voucher programs.
RHA intends to keep all of their public housing along with other properties they own or manage under
programs such as HOPE VI and RAD. In fact, RHA just hired a new Executive Director to convert their
public housing to new, long-term subsidies and to oversee all of their physical properties. RHA's agenda
item concerning the voucher transfer and relevant attachments are attached.
While not a common occurrence, the transfer of voucher programs from one housing authority to another
is not unusual, especially as administrative responsibilities have increased at the same time that funding
has decreased. Below is an informal list (meaning there may be other transfer that were not captured
here) of voucher transfers & consolidations between housing authorities in HUD's local region over the
past 15 years. You will note that the first of these (in chronological terms) was HACCC's absorption of
the San Pablo Housing Authority.
Yuba consolidated with Sutter (2014)
Hollister consolidated with Santa Cruz (2014)
CA-HCD Divested its voucher program to Stanislaus, Shasta, Butte, and Sutter (1/1/2012)
Nevada County consolidated with Sutter (2011)
Clark County HA and Las Vegas HA transferred their programs to Southern Nevada Regional HA (2010)
Mariposa County HA transferred its Section 8 program to California HCD (2010)
Lassen County HA and Tehama County HA consolidated with Plumas County HA (2008 and 2009)
North Las Vegas HA transferred its Section 8 program to Las Vegas HA (2009) - now Southern Nevada
Regional HA.
ASI Southern Nevada transferred its Section 8 program to Clark County HA (2007) - now Southern Nevada
Regional HA.
San Juan Bautista HA consolidated with Hollister HA (2007)
Sacramento City HA consolidated its Section 8 program with Sacramento County HA (2005)
San Pablo HA consolidated with Contra Costa County HA (2001)
HUD's Notice PIH 2018-12, which largely lays out the process of transferring vouchers between housing
authorities, states that transfers can only occur on either July 1st or January 1st of any given year. RHA
is asking HUD to transfer their voucher programs to HACCC effective July 1, 2019.
Staff recommend that HACCC accept the transfer of RHA's voucher programs to HACCC and are fine
with the July 1st target date. Because portability restrictions will be lifted and HACCC can maintain a
local office or offices, HACCC's acceptance of this transfer would provide the greatest service to RHA's
clients. If another entity were to receive RHA's voucher program (if another could even legally do so) it
would likely increase the bureaucratic burdens on RHA's voucher clients. HACCC's acceptance of this
transfer may also increase the availability of PBVs that can be used to fund more affordable housing
development. This will depend largely on how many PBVs HUD's and HACCC's program audits show
that RHA has committed already and also on future HUD regulatory changes.
Between now and July 1st, staff will need to work out an MOU with RHA detailing all aspects of the
transfer process. This, and any other relevant documents, will be brought to the Board as they are
updated. Additionally, staff will be seeking additional funding from HUD to ensure the transfer goes as
smoothly as possible. It is anticipated that extra staff will have to be hired for a period of up to two years
to convert RHA's tenant files into HACCC's format and to ensure that all files meet all of HUD's
requirements. In addition to funding, staff will be seeking assurances from HUD that this transfer will
not negatively impact HACCC's SEMAP scores or funding for RHA's former vouchers.
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 133
Depending on the outcome of staff's ongoing discussions with RHA and HUD, it is possible that staff
could come back to the Board and recommend that approval for this transfer be rescinded. This is not
expected, but it should be noted. Staff recommends moving forward at this time because the HUD
Regional Office has informed us that it cannot request additional funding to help with the transfer from
HUD Washington until both RHA and HACCC have formally requested the transfer.
FISCAL IMPACT
The transfer of the Richmond Housing Authority's Voucher programs would increase the Housing
Authority of the County of Contra Costa's (HACCC) current contract with HUD from 6,996 vouchers to
9,000 vouchers. Should the transfer occur, it is anticipated that HACCC's projected voucher budget for
FYE 2020 would increase from $117 million to between $142 million and $150 million.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the transfer of RHA's voucher programs to
HACCC, then it is likely that RHA's voucher clients would suffer additional bureaucratic burdens. A
negative action may also have the affect of costing HACCC additional PBVs that can be used to fund
more affordable housing development in the County.

OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
WHEREAS, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
has issued policies and guidance (Notice PIH 2018-12) that authorize one housing
authority (PHA) to voluntarily transfer the total budget authority and corresponding
baseline units for its Housing Choice Voucher (Voucher) and Project-based Voucher
(PBV) Programs to another PHA, subject to approval by HUD; and
WHEREAS, due to diminishing funding allocations and operational issues, the
Richmond Housing Authority - CA010 (RHA) has determined that administration of the
Voucher Program by RHA has become infeasible; and
WHEREAS, the Richmond Housing Authority - CA010 (RHA) has informed
HUD that it desires to transfer its allocation of 2,004 Vouchers (and any attendant PBVs)
to the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa – CA011 (HACCC); and
WHEREAS, HACCC meets HUD's requirements for a receiving PHA under
Notice PIH 2018-12 because, among other qualifications, HACCC is in the same state as
RHA, has jurisdictional authority to administer RHA's voucher programs, has the
administrative capacity to manage RHA's existing voucher programs and is a High
Performer under HUD's Section 8 Management Assessment Program; and
WHEREAS, HUD has expressed a preference that HACCC receive the transfer
of RHA's vouchers; and
WHEREAS, HACCC intends to work closely with HUD and RHA up until the
transfer to ensure that the transfer will not harm HACCC's High Performer status or its
financial stability or will in any other manner jeopardize HACCC;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Commissioners of
the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, that, effective July 1, 2019, subject
to the approval of HUD and the qualifications listed above, HACCC will accept the
transfer of the Richmond Housing Authority's voucher programs as provided in Notice
PIH 2018-12.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Executive Director is authorized and

Subject: Process for Public Housing Agency Voluntary Transfers and Consolidations of Housing
Choice Vouchers and Project-Based Vouchers
1. Purpose. The purpose of this notice is to clarify the circumstances and describe the process
under which HUD may approve a voluntary transfer or consolidation of budget authority
(including restricted net position (RNP), unrestricted net position (UNP) and other capital
assets)1 and corresponding baseline units for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program from
the divesting public housing agency’s (PHA) Consolidated Annual Contributions Contract
(CACC) to the receiving or consolidating PHA’s CACC. In a voluntary transfer one PHA’s
identifying number and CACC remains intact. In a consolidation, both or all of the PHAs’
names, CACCs and identifying numbers will be permanently terminated and replaced by a new
PHA with a new name, identifying number and CACC.
2. Applicability. This notice applies to PHAs that administer the HCV program, including
project-based vouchers (PBV). This notice does not cover the Public Housing Low-Rent
program or the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation (Mod Rehab) program. This notice supersedes
PIH Notice 2015-22 (HA).
3. Eligibility for HCV Transfers and Consolidations. All transfers and consolidations will be
permanent and for the entire balance of one PHA’s HCV program to one or more receiving
PHAs. The transfer or consolidation must be between PHAs within the same state. The receiving
agency must have jurisdictional authority to administer the program in the divesting agency’s
geographic location. Additionally, the receiving agency must have the administrative capacity to
administer the divesting PHA’s program and must currently administer the HCV program within
a reasonable proximity of the divesting PHA’s jurisdiction to prevent the receiving agency from
becoming administratively overburdened. Lastly, receiving agencies are responsible for

population and the vouchers will continue to be utilized for their original intended purpose.
Divesting, receiving, and consolidating PHAs are bound by fair housing requirements, including
the responsibility to affirmatively further fair housing and to reduce racial and national origin
concentrations. Transfers will be considered only for PHAs with a standard and high Section 8
Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) performance designation and permitted where a
receiving PHA has complied with corrective action plans to address financial or program audit
findings related to the HCV program. Transfers will only be permitted to a receiving agency that
already administers the HCV program.
4. Exceptions to Eligibility for HCV transfers. The Department will consider approving
voluntary partial transfers only in the following cases: (1) the transfer is for the purpose of
developing PBV units in an area of low poverty concentration, or (2) for a compelling business
reason. These exceptions do not apply to consolidations.
5. Application Process for Transfers and Consolidations. At least 90 calendar days before
the requested effective date of the voluntary transfer or consolidation, both the divesting and
receiving PHAs must submit letters to their respective field offices indicating agreement upon
the part of the PHAs to the transfer or consolidation, the name and code of the divesting and
receiving or consolidating PHA(s), and the date upon which the PHAs would like the transfer to
occur. The divesting PHA’s letter must also include their reason for requesting the transfer. The
receiving PHA’s letter must include their commitment to serving the population within the
divesting PHA’s jurisdiction and their commitment to continue administering special purpose
vouchers for their intended purposes. All transfers must have an effective date of either January
1st or July 1st of a given calendar year (CY). No transfers or consolidations may be
retroactive. The letters must be signed by the respective Executive Directors with an
accompanying board resolution. If the PHA is a unit of local government, the appropriate
authorized official must sign the letter.
6. Renewal and Administrative Fee Funding Amounts for Units Transferred or
Consolidated and Equity Balances. At the time of the transfer or consolidation, the divesting
PHA(s) must transfer the total HAP budget authority on hand and accumulated restricted net
position (RNP) balances to HUD. The divesting PHA must contact its Financial Analyst at the
FMC to identify the method of payment to HUD. The divesting PHA must transfer its available
administrative fees and unrestricted net position (UNP) to the receiving PHA to ensure
continuity of assistance to transferred families.
While reviewing the transfer of UNP to the receiving/consolidated PHA, the HUD Field Office
will ensure the divesting PHA has properly procured and entered into a contract with an
independent public accountant to conduct its close-out audit2, and has the funds available to
cover it. HUD may assign extraordinary administrative fees (EAF), subject to availability of
funds and justifiable circumstances, from the Administrative Fee set-aside funds to cover close-

Public Accountant (IPA) validating the ending balances prior to transfer.

out audit costs and may conduct a final close-out or forensic audit of a divesting PHA, either
prior to or following the transfer/consolidation. The HUD Field Office must contact the Housing
Voucher Financial Management Division at PIH.Financial.Management.Division@hud.gov to
confirm availability of extraordinary administrative fees (EAF); however, the divesting PHA’s
available administrative fee, UNP, and/or other non-federal funds must be considered first and
restricted for this purpose. In extenuating circumstances, such as risk of waste or misuse of cash
and other assets, the HUD Field Office will require the divesting PHA to transfer its available
administrative fees and UNP balances immediately to the receiving/consolidated PHA. In these
situations, the HUD Field Office will request the receiving/consolidated PHA to hold funds in
escrow to be released to the divesting PHA (or the auditor) upon HUD’s acceptance of the
divesting PHA’s audit.
Administrative fees earned and disbursed to the divesting PHA(s) during the months not yet
reconciled by the time of the transfer or consolidation (whether an underpayment owed to the
PHA or an overpayment owed HUD), will be provided (or offset) to the receiving or
consolidating PHA(s) based on the divesting PHA(s)’ rates. For subsequent years the renewal
funding and administrative fee calculations will be considered based on the receiving or
consolidating PHA’s eligibility and leasing reported, respectively, subject to the mandates of the
Appropriations Bill for that year.
If the divesting PHA(s) owes money to HUD or the U.S. Treasury (such as RNP used for other
purposes, an executed repayment agreement, an audit finding for which a management decision
has not yet been rendered or other circumstances), these funds must be repaid to HCV account or
U.S. Treasury (as applicable) prior to the transfer, from the PHA’s non-federal funds, insurance
or UNP. If a divesting PHA is unable to pay monies owed and the receiving/consolidated PHA
refuses to assume or is prohibited from assuming the debt of a divesting PHA, where the transfer
or consolidation is in the best interest of the HCV program, HUD will follow the guidance in
HUD’s Debt Collection Handbook 1900 REV-4 (dated April 6, 2015).
Assumption of Liabilities and Liability for Corrective Action. Under some circumstances and
as permitted by State and local law, receiving/consolidated PHAs may request to be held
harmless for the impacts of performance deficiencies and certain HUD liabilities sustained by
divesting PHAs prior to transfer/consolidation while still under their own CACC Receiving and
consolidated PHAs generally assume divesting PHAs’ liabilities, including but not limited to
those arising under pending litigation associated with the 1937 Act, requirements of the Fair
Housing Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
and any tax debts.
The liability for taking corrective action to resolve violations of civil rights, environmental,
labor, or other requirements shall not be extinguished by a transfer or consolidation. A divesting
PHA may have obligations under a current court or administrative order, voluntary compliance
agreement, or other arrangement. As part of the submission requirements, HUD requires either
(1) the divesting PHA takes corrective action to the satisfaction of HUD or another entity with
authority to enforce a corrective action agreement or order, or (2) the receiving PHA
demonstrates to HUD’s satisfaction that it has assumed liability for taking the corrective action.
Notwithstanding, there may be circumstances in which the PHA may not divest itself of liability
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 139

for taking corrective action, even if it has transferred its program to another PHA (e.g., a court
order limiting assumption of liabilities).
7. Special Purpose Vouchers. Any special purpose vouchers (HUD-Veterans Affairs
Supportive Housing (VASH); Family Unification Program (FUP); Non-Elderly Disabled (NED)
and Five-Year Mainstream (MS5)) must be maintained and accounted for as such by the
receiving PHA(s) or consolidating PHA. The receiving agency of a program that includes special
purpose vouchers is responsible for the continued administration of each of these vouchers for
the purpose they were intended without exception. Information about the PHA’s FSS funding
eligibility after a transfer/consolidation may be found in the applicable FSS NOFA through the
following link to the FSS website:
https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/programs/hcv/fss).
8. Recommendation to Headquarters. No later than 30 calendar days after the receipt of the
documents referenced in section 5 of this notice, the HUD Field Office will complete its review
of the transfer or consolidation documents. If the HUD Field Office determines that the request
is unacceptable, the Public Housing Director will submit a written notice to the PHA. If the
HUD Field office determines that the request is acceptable, the Public Housing Director will
prepare a memorandum to the Housing Voucher Financial Management Division Director within
that same 30-day period and at least 60 days prior to the requested effective date with the
following information:
(1) name and code of the divesting and receiving or consolidating PHA(s);
(2) the HUD Field Office’s determination that the receiving agency has the capacity to
administer the divesting PHA’s program and can effectively operate in the divesting
PHA’s jurisdiction based on the proximity of the involved PHAs’ geographic
locations;
(3) the requested effective date of the transfer or consolidation;
(4) the number of HCVs that will be divested to each receiving PHA or combined into the
new consolidated PHA;
(5) confirmation that the HUD Field Office’s legal counsel has provided their
jurisdictional
approval, agreeing that the receiving PHA has the legal authority to administer the
program within their jurisdiction;
(6) the number of leased vouchers; and
(7) the number of special purpose vouchers or programs by category (HUD-VASH, FUP,
NED, FSS and MS5) that will be divested to each receiving PHA or combined into
the new consolidated PHA. If the Public Housing Director does not have information
on the number of special purpose vouchers of the divesting PHA(s), he or she may
contact the respective Financial Analyst at the Financial Management Center for
assistance, or may send an email to the Housing Voucher Financial Management
Division, at
PIH.Financial.Management.Division@HUD.gov.
The Financial Management Division reserves the right to close-out incomplete transfers in cases
where a request is missing critical information and documentation that is necessary to complete
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 140
5
the review. In these cases, an email will be sent to the HUD Field Office point of contact
informing them that the review could not be completed within the 30-day window due to the
absence of necessary information and that the transfer will have to be resubmitted once all the
necessary information has been collected.
Additionally, the HUD Field Office will provide information to the Financial Management
Division on factors considered in the decision to recommend approval of the transfer or
consolidation, including:
(1) the receiving or consolidating PHAs’ most recent SEMAP performance designation;
(2) underutilization based on the receiving or consolidating PHAs’ SEMAP leasing
indicator regardless of performance;
(3) outstanding debts to HUD and the status of the divesting, receiving or consolidating
PHAs’ repayment; and
(4) estimated RNP and UNP balances as of the latest audited Financial Assessment
Subsystem (FASS) submission, and restricted cash and investments for all
divesting or consolidating PHAs as determined by the HUD Field Office.
A checklist that describes the PHA’s documentation that the HUD Field Office must provide to
headquarters with their recommendation to process the transfer or consolidation request is
included as Attachment 1. Attachment 2 is for the HUD Field Office to input additional
information such as performance and other key information required to process the transfer. The
HUD Field Office must complete and sign Attachment 2 and submit it with all the documents
listed in Attachment 1.
All the required information and documentation for the transfer/consolidation request must be
uploaded to the FYE/Consolidations/Transfers SharePoint site,
http://hudsharepoint.hud.gov/sites/reac/FYE/Fiscal%20Year%20End%20Request%20Upload/Fo
rms/AllItems.aspx. For instructions of how to upload documents to the SharePoint Site: Select
“Guidance” under “Documents” on the left side of the webpage then select the “HCV Transfer
Information File” to find the “HCV Transfer and Consolidation Requests – Instructions for
Upload to SharePoint”. Once documents are uploaded to the SharePoint, the HUD Field Office
contact must send an email to PIHFinancialManangementDivision@hud.gov alerting reviewers
that the request has been submitted.
Finally, all transfers and consolidations are considered permanent. PHAs will not be able to de-
couple from the transferred or consolidated entity to reinstate a former program or PHA.
9. Approval Notification. To the extent possible, the Financial Management Division (FMD)
will approve requests for transfers or consolidations within 30 days of receiving all the required
information and documentation necessary to determine if the transfer or consolidation is
approvable. Once the FMD in Headquarters has approved the transfer or consolidation, the Real
Estate Assessment Center (REAC) and the Public Housing Field Office and Financial
Management Center (FMC) Directors will be notified through an email including the signed
transfer approval memo. The Public Housing Field Office Director will notify the respective
PHAs of the approved transfer or consolidation of HCV budget authority and units. The FMC
February 12, 2019 Housing Authority Minutes 141

will prepare and transmit the requisite amendments to the CACC of all affected PHAs including
a new CACC in the case of a consolidation. Finally, the REAC will move participants from the
divesting PHA to the receiving PHA and will update HUD PIH systems.
10. Owner and Tenant Notification. No later than 30 days after receiving approval
notification from HUD the receiving or consolidated PHA must notify owners and participants of
the transfer or consolidation. The PHAs may not notify owners and participants of the transfer
until they receive the HUD notification of approval.
11. HCV HAP Contracts. New tenant-based HAP contracts must be executed for families
currently under HAP contracts signed by the divesting PHA. The receiving or consolidated PHA
must execute new HAP contracts with the existing owners no later than at the family’s next
regular recertification or one year following the effective date of the transfer or consolidation,
whichever date comes first. The family’s regular recertification date will not change due to the
transfer. No other changes to the HAP contracts will be required. Please review to Section 16 for
information on new PBV HAP contracts.
12. Receiving or Consolidated PHA Management Responsibilities. At the time of the
family’s next regular reexamination, the receiving or consolidated PHA may apply its occupancy
and subsidy standards and any other applicable administrative policies. However, if the payment
standards of the receiving or consolidated PHA are lower than those of the divesting PHA(s), the
receiving or consolidated PHA must follow its administrative policies and the requirements
under 24 CFR § 982.505(c) regarding payment standard decreases. In addition, the receiving or
consolidating PHA must comply with all reasonable accommodation waivers and exceptions. If
there are issues with the reasonable accommodation waivers or exceptions, they should be
addressed with the field office.
13. Public Housing Information Center (PIC) Data. The REAC will complete the transfer or
consolidation of all Family Reports (form HUD-50058) in PIC, so that all affected families will
be recorded under the receiving PHA’s code or consolidated PHA’s new code with the last
action code (field 2a on the Family Report) that was entered by the divesting PHA.
14. Voucher Management System (VMS) Data Entry. Starting with the effective date of the
transfer or consolidation, the receiving or consolidated PHA will begin including the transferred
or consolidated units for the applicable month in its next VMS submission. Conversely, the
divesting PHA(s) will stop including any divested units starting with the effective month of the
transfer.
15. HUD Self-Reported Systems. PHAs that are transferring, or consolidating will be
responsible for submitting their individual financial statements through FASS and other financial
or program data to self-reported HUD systems, such as VMS and PIC, for periods prior to the
effective date of the transfer or consolidation.
16. PBV Units. All provisions in sections 1 through 15 will apply. However, PBV HAP
contracts must be executed as soon as possible between the receiving or consolidated PHA and
the owner with the expiration date and all terms and conditions unchanged.
