TO:
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: September 8, 1992
FROM: Richard J. Martinez, Acting Interim Executive Director
AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT A CDBG APPLICATION FOR
SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF A RECREATIONAL BALLFIELD AT
CA011006, LOS DELTAS, NORTH RICHMOND
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Acting Interim Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa to submit a $100,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funding application for 1993/94 to enable the Housing Authority to construct a
recreational ballfield at CA011006, Las Deltas, North Richmond, as recommended by the
Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A total of $175,000 is needed to enable the Housing Authority to construct a
recreational ballfield at the Las Deltas public housing development in North
Richmond. An application would be submitted to the CDBG program" requesting $100,000.
The Housing Authority would provide matching funds of $25,000 from either the 1993/94
operating budget and/or the Local Management Fund and would seek the remaining
$50,000 from other public and private funding sources.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Housing Authority has been in the process of improving the area adjacent to
the administration building at the Las Deltas Development. These improvements have
included: 1) construction of a new Child Development Center;, 2) renovation of an
existing building into a teen recreation facility; 3) security site lighting; and,
4) security fencing. The area to the south of the Child Development Center and teen
recreation building is an open field suitable for outdoor recreation use which would
compliment the indoor recreation facility now being renovated and the other
improvements being made in the immediate area. The need for this type of facility is
great - there is no outdoor recreation provided in or near the development.
At its Regular Meeting on August 17, 1992 the Advisory Housing Commission
recommended that the Housing Authority submit an application to the County's
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program requesting $100,000 to enable the
Housing Authority to construct and recreational ballfield at CA011006, Las Deltas,
North Richmond.

IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

application for $100,000 in Community Development Block Grant Program funds, the
Housing Authority would be unable to construct a recreational ballfield at its Las
Deltas public housing development in North Richmond.
