HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Rudy Tamayo, Acting Executive Director
DATE: December 13, 2005
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF PITTSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT
FOR COMMUNITY POLICING SERVICES AT THE EL PUEBLO PUBLIC HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT IN CITY OF PITTSBURG
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and Authorize the Acting Executive Director to execute a contract with the City of
Pittsburg not to exceed $115,580 for the period of April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006 that provides a
dedicated police officer at the their substation located at the El Pueblo Public Housing development.
11. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds for this contract are included in the Authority's fiscal year 2005-2006 budget as approved by
your commission on April 5, 2005, Resolution 5061.
Ill. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
For the past 12 years the Pittsburg Police Department has provided one full-time police officer to
provide community-policing duties at the El Pueblo Housing Development. This police officer provides
staffing for the police sub-station located within the El Pueblo development. A highly visible law
enforcement presence for the residents of the El Pueblo development enhances the security of the
community, deters loitering, and, increases enforcement opportunity of criminal and illegal drug activities.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The residents of the El Pueblo development would have an unmanned police sub-station and be
without a law enforcement presence for community policing activities during times of heightened criminal
and gang related activities in the development and surrounding area.
