SUBJECT: Small Shelter for Families in the Church Building
at 1391 Shell Avenue
Supervisor Fanden presented the March 5, 1990 letter of Ray
Ulmer, President, Citizens for a Safe Martinez, P. O. Box 830,
Martinez, recommending that the Board consider limiting the
proposed shelter at 1391 Shell Avenue to three or four families.
Ray Ulmer, 1357 Peach Street, Martinez, noted that this matter
is in litigation which he believes has been slow and not productive
in resolving the use of the subject property. He expressed the
opinion that the building would be too small for 30 people. He
advised that Citizens for a Safe Martinez would have no problem
having this building designated to shelter women and children. He
further advised that he has some people who would assist in the
remodel of this facility and would support Shelter Inc. ' s
management of it. He expressed reservations with having this
particular shelter managed by the Volunteers of America. Mr. Ulmer
reported that it is his understanding that Shelter Inc. has turned
away 240 families. He commented on his conversation with the
Director of the Housing Authority about establishing shelters on
Housing Authority property for three or four families.
Comments were received from the following who supported the
suggestions of the Citizens for a Safe Martinez as presented by Mr.
Ulmer:
Patricia Ulmer, 1357 Peach Street, Martinez;
Gary Marcos, 1314 Peach Street, Martinez;
William Eslinger, 1314 Peach Street, Martinez; and
Joseph and Imogene Taylor, 1331 Shell Avenue, Martinez .
Supervisor Fanden suggested having three or four apartment
type units constructed on Housing Authority property for homeless
families. She also suggested that consideration be given to
designating two or three Housing Authority apartments for homeless
families under a program that would be sponsored and monitored by
the Housing Authority and Social Service Department.
There being no further discussion, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED
that receipt of the Citizens for a Safe Martinez recommendation is
ACKNOWLEDGED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the comments presented this day
are REFERRED to the County Administrator and Social Service
Director.
1 hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the

Dear Supervisor Fanden:
The Board of Directors of the Citizens for a Safe
Martinez discussed the idea of a three to four family
shelter, run by Shelter Inc. , in the church building at
the 1391 Shell Avenue location.
The consensus of the group was that a small shelter
of families with a record of prior residency in Central
Contra Costa County could be accepted by the membership
of the Citizens for a Safe Martinez .
The membership or their designee would expect to be
a primary negotiating organization for the conditions
under which the program would be run.
Sincerely,
Ij
Ray Ulmer
President
