TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: May 5, 1987
FROM: cc:
Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
RESPONSE TO HUD $100,000 SECURITY-RELATED FUNDING ALLOCATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of letter to the Department of Housing and Urban Development
expressing the intention of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa to
use the $100,000 in security-related Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program
funding for the continuation of security guard services at E1 Pueblo, CA011005,
Pittsburg, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development will allow $100,000 of the
Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program funding granted for modernization of
El Pueblo in its $1,715,204 Phase I allocation to be used for security-related tenant
services.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The original Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program budget requested
$168,000 for the provision of security guard services at E1 Pueblo. The Department
of Housing and Urban Development requested justification from the Housing Authority
for the provision of security guards at El Pueblo. After furnishing justification,
HUD determined that only $50,000 would be available for security-related services.
Further correspondence with HUD and a meeting Advisory Housing Commission members and
staff held with Julian Fitzhugh and Arthur Kontura of HUD, resulted in an increase
from $50,000 to $100,000 for tenant security-related services for the first year of
the comprehensive modernization of El Pueblo.
In their letter of February 25, 1987, increasing the tenant security-related
services funding, HUD requested that a work program for allocating the $100,000 to
both the security service and other identified security-related tenant services be
submitted to them for review and approval . The Ad Hoc Committee of the Advisory
Housing Commission studied this question and recommended to the Advisory Housing
Commission that HUD be informed the $100,000 security-related funding allocation

would be used for the continuation of security guard services at E1 Pueblo. On
Monday, April 20, 1987 the Advisory Housing Commission endorsed that recommendation
and unanimously voted to request that the Board of Commissioners approve submission
of a letter to HUD expressing its intention to use the $100,000 in security-related
CIAP funding for the continuation of security guard services at E1 Pueblo.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners fail to approve the submission of a letter of
its intent to use the of the $100,000 in security-related tenant services funds for
the continuation of security guard services at E1 Pueblo, CA011005, Pittsburg, HUD
could, again, reduce the funding amount to $50,000.
