DATE: December 9, 2003
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDS FROM
THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
PROGRAM FOR THE DEMOLITION OF TWO VACANT AND VANDALIZED RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS AT 1511 SECOND STREET AND 1505 SECOND STREET IN NORTH
RICHMOND
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa to submit an
application for$30,000 from the County of Contra Costa's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program for Fiscal Year 2004 to fund demolition of two vacant and vandalized buildings with four apartment
units at 1511 Second Street and 1501 Second Street in North Richmond and execute all agreements to carry
out this action.
11. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No impact on Housing Authority funds. Funding comes from the County's allocation of CDBG from the
Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
1111. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Two buildings with four apartment units each at the Las Deltas 11009 A& B Public Housing
Development in North Richmond are severely damaged and unfeasible to repair. In their current deteriorated
condition they are a blight on the neighborhood and attract undesirable elements. The land can be used for the
development of new affordable housing in the future and will remain the property of the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa as funds and collaborators are identified.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to authorize the Executive Director to submit the funding
application, deteriorated and vandalized units will remain and the potential for neighborhood improvement are
lessened.
