HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09152015 - C.44 (2)RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with the City of Walnut Creek to extend the term from June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2016, for the
administration of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Program, with no change to the amount payable to the
County of $159,858.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact to the General Fund. All funds are City of Walnut Creek funds.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Walnut Creek and the County entered into an agreement effective January 1, 2015, to enable the County
Department of Conservation and Development to administer the City's Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant
Program in an amount not to exceed $159,858. The program has proceeded more slowly than expected and the City
wishes to extend the contract to June 30, 2016. This extension will allow the County to approve and execute
additional loans and grants.
The program offers loans or grants to homeowners who cannot obtain conventional financing. Funds are used to
eliminate conditions that are detrimental to health and safety, and for repairs such as roofing, electrical, plumbing,
mechanical, termite repairs, lead paint mitigation, disabled accessibility, interior and exterior painting, and other
necessary deferred maintenance repairs. The program promotes the stabilization and enhancement of older
neighborhoods in order to encourage a sense of pride in the neighborhood.
