V t r f�- Housing Authority of the County of C.3 ty ty Contra Costa TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FROM: Robert McEwan, Executive Director DATE: Tuesday, January 04, 2000 SUBJECT: APPOINT JULIE MEDINA AS THE RESIDENT COMMISSIONER OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 505 OF THE FEDERAL QUALITY HOUSING AND WORK RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF 1998 SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPOINT Julie Medina as the Resident Commissioner of the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners in compliance with Section 505 of the Federal Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1958. 11. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. 111. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND On November 16, 1999, the Board of Commissioners approved creating one additional seat on the Board of Commissioners, effective December 31, 1999. This seat is to be filled only by an Authority public housing resident or a recipient of housing assistance in the tenant-based Section 8 Program operated by the Authority. Section 505 of the Federal "Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998" (QHWRA), as implemented by federal regulations (24 CFR Part 964) that requires any public housing authority that has a public housing annual contribution contract or administers a Tenant Based Section 8 program provide for resident membership on their governing body. In order to meet this mandate and regulatory deadline of December 31, 1999, the Board created a Resident Commissioner seat and a method for filling it. The open seat must be filled with an eligible resident, which is defined to mean "a resident who is directly assisted by a public housing agency and is eighteen years of age or older." 24 CFR §964.435. The Authority has a public housing annual contribution contract and administers a Tenant Based Section 8 program and, thus, is subject to these requirements. Again, the establishment of this seat was accomplished by Board Order on November 16, 1999. Also on November 16, 1999, the Board of Commissioners approved the selection process to fill the new Resident Commissioner seat. The Executive Director was directed to ask one of the existing two Resident Advisory Housing Commissioners if they are willing to serve as a Resident Commissioner. As of this date, there is only one sitting Resident Advisory Commissioner, due to a vacancy. Ms. Medina is that Commissioner and meets the requirements to serve as established by the QHWRA. I asked her if she was willing to serve as the new Resident Commissioner on this Board and she has indicated her willingness to serve. Ms. Medina has served on the Advisory Housing Commission for over eight years and is now the Chair. Her current two year term ends March 31, 2000 and she would be eligible for reappointment for another two year term at that time. It is my recommendation that the Board of Commissioners appoint Julie Medina to serve as the Resident Commissioner for a term contiguous with her term on the Advisory Housing Commission.

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve this action, the Authority could be found to be out of compliance with federal law. This could jeopardize current and future HUD funding.
