HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Richard J. Martinez,Executive Director
DATE: December 16, 1997
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR "WEED
AND SEED" DESIGNATION FROM THE U. S.DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.4028, approving submission of an application to the U. S.Department of Justice seeking
designation of the"Weed and Seed"collaboration in the unincorporated communities of North Richmond and Rodeo.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The application is to receive the Weed and Seed designation only,which will allow the
Housing Authority to be more competitive in its solicitation of federal funds.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Each year federal agencies make federal grants available to communities employing targeted anti-crime and community
building efforts. This is competitive funding,and in some cases,makes additional resources available to those communities
which have been designated"Weed and Seed"communities. This application will assist the communities of Rodeo and North
Richmond to achieve the"Weed and Seed"designation. The Housing Authority has developed the application in close
collaboration with the U. S.Attorney's Office,the County Administrator's Office,the Redevelopment Agency,County Sheriff's
Department,Probation,and the District Attorney's offices,as well as the North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council,the
Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council,residents of both communities,the school districts,non-profit service providers and local
businesses.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to adopt Resolution No.4028,the Housing Authority and other County
departments would be unable to compete effectively for specifically targeted"Weed and Seed"funding.
