FINANCIAL IMPACT: None,except as noted under"Negative Consequences"below. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND Each year the Housing Authority is required by HUD to present an Annual Submission for the Comprehensive Grant Program(CGP). In addition,every five years the Housing Authority is required to submit a Comprehensive Plan that further details its strategy for use of CGI'funds. The Comprehensive Plan and Annual Submission is our application for funding under the CGP. The CGP program provides modernization funding for public housing on a formula basis. The approximate amount of funding for federal fiscal year 1999 is x;2.7 million. Attached herewith are copies of the Housing Authority's"Five Year Strategic Planning Statement"and Five Year projected budget for this program. Additionally,HUD requires that a resolution must be adopted certifying that the Housing Authority will comply with certain Federal procedural and program provisions in administering the grant. This resolution will be included with the finalized Annual Submission. A copy of this resolution is included herewith for your information. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to authorize these actions,the Housing Authority would be unable to access approximately$2.7 million of funding direly needed to modernize its existing public housing stock.

The Comprehensive Grant Program(CGP)funding for FFY 1999 will be$2,655,394. Although this level of fimding varies somewhat from year to vear. it is reasonable to assume that approximately a similar amount will be allocated for the next five years. Hence,the Authority anticipates receiving a total of$13,276,970 during the upcoming five-year planning period to address some of these needs. Of that amount, a maximum of 20%, or $2,655,000,may be spent for management improvements and a maximum of 10%, or$1,327,000 may be spent for administration. 1 YWI 5 Year-T. IPHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS $1,859,394 $9,294,970 MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS $531.000 $2,655,004 ADMINISTRATION/AUDIT 5265,000 51,327.040 ESTIMATED GRANT AMOUNT $2,655,T?4r $1.3,276,970 The Authority's philosophy regarding modernization is to use the majority of the funds for the year to comprehensive modernize all of the units and buildings in one development at a time. This enables the agency to most efficiently and effectively leverage the ftnnding available each year for modernization. Over the last fourteen years the Authority has comprehensively modernized each of its family and senior developments under the CLAP and the Comprehensive Grant Plan(CGP). During this current five year period,the Authority will begin modernization programs for two San Pablo developments which are to be acquired by this agency, and make a considerable number of necessary upgrades to our 14 other developments. I, PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS Current CGP Activity: Following is a list of the most current CGP physical improvement activities: 1. The comprehensive modernization of the Hacienda senior development(CA011011)in downtown Martinez is now complete. The work involved renovation of kitchens and bathrooms, repainting the interiors,new flooring,lighting improvements, replacement of hardware,upgrading the elevator for handicap accessibility, landscaping,converting two units for handicap accessibility compliance and other miscellaneous needed repairs. 2, The Housing Authority establisher)a Preventive Maintenance Painting Program four years ago to focus on the exteriors of buildings in the developments. The program has already made a positive impact on both the appearance and the longevity of the buildings in the developments completed to date. One of the paint crew positions is designated as a Section 3 Program position,promoting the employment of low income residents. The paint crew has recently completed work in the Los Nogales and Bayo Vista developments. Page 1 C:\Nfv Docum"\CGPSTRAT.doc 3. The renovation of Casa de Manana.,a 40 unit senior development in Oakley is nearing completion. Included in the work is the remodeling of all unit kitchens and bathrooms,installation of new HVAC systems,interior painting and flooring,two units converted:for handicap accessibility compliance, , privatization of all rear yards with fencing,patio extensions,and concrete walkways,and remodeling of the administration office and community building, including compliance with handicap accessibility standards. 4. The completed development of a Police Activities League/Resident Council facility in the Alhambra Terrace development in Martinez, This facility provides computer training opportunities for neighborhood youth through the Police Activities League,and a new meeting room for the Alhambra Terrace Resident Council. The facility also increases police presence in the neighborhood. 5. Repairs to a landslide at the Central Office in Martinez have begun.The landslide, due primarily to the"El Nino"rains,threatens both the administration building and our maintenance building. 6. Several dwelling units in the Las Deltas Annexes(CAO 1 I009A/B)which have sustained excessive damage due to major vandalism problems have undergone extensive repair.The units are returned to occupancy once repairs are complete. 7. Two units in the Bayo Vista(CAOOI 10 10)development are nearing completion of repairs of fire damage. Planned Activities; Several major projects will be undertaken using CGP funds during the upcoming 5 year - - period including: I. Structural problems, including foundation work, on several dwelling units at Alhambra Terrace(CAO 11001) in Martinez need to be corrected. Approximately$575,000 will be expended on improvements to this development during the period. 2. A modernization program for the Y-add Manor senior development in San Pablo will begin,once the acquisition process is complete. Preliminary expectations are for expenditures of nearly$350,000 in the 5-year cycle. 3. The Vista del Camino public housing development in San Pablo will undergo approximately$300,000 in modernization activities,after acquisition. Improvements will include electrical upgrades,kitchen and bathroom repairs,and site modifications. 4. Approximately$400,000 will be used to construct a new central warehouse/administration facility at Los Medanos (CAO 11002)in Bay Point in order to better assist in the maintenance of the agency's 14 developments which are scattered throughout the 50 mile wide County. 5. Several dwelling units in the Las Deltas Annexes(CAO 11009A/B)which have sustained excessive damage due to major vandalism problems will require extensive repair in order to be re-rented and help increase the occupancy level at the development.While the number of units in need of repair cannot be projected for the period.the repair cost averages$45,000 per unit. 6. Over$650,000 have been budgeted to continue the Preventive Maintenance Painting Program"established two gears ago to address the continued deterioration of the exterior paint surfaces,during the 5-year period. The "force account"painting crew will be assigned to paint the highest priority sites first and, in subsequent years to paint the other sites as necessary. During inclement weather,this crew will be used to do needed interior painting of dwelling units and administrative facilities. Page 2 c.my tm,m \CGPSTR T,doc T The roofing at three developments is at the end of its economic life and will require replacement. Nearly $780,000 will be expended to replace roofing at the Bridgemont, Los Nogales,and Los Medanos developments. 8. An existing building at the Bayo Vista(CA0I 10 11)public housing development in Rodeo will be converted to a computer learning center,through the Tenant Opportunities Program. The building will also include the Bayo Vista Resident Council meeting room. The building will also be improved to meet current handicap accessibility standards. Over$45,000 will be available to make these improvements. 9. The storage sheds at selected units in several developments are deteriorated. Approximately$50,000 will be expended for shed replacement. 10, Screen doors at Elder Winds(CAO 11015)are deteriorating. $50,000 will be expended for replacements. 11. The electric distribution systems at two developments, Bayo Vista(CA011011)in Rodeo and El Pueblo (CAO 11005)in Pittsburg are owned and maintained by the Housing Authority. These systems have been difficult and costly to maintain. Additionally.administrative costs have been significant because the Authority must read the meters and bill each resident family on a monthly basis. The Housing Authority plans to expend nearly$640,000 to contract with the local utility company to upgrade the systems to their standards and turn the systems over to these to maintain. Long term,the Authority will no longer be responsible for maintaining, the system., reading the meters, and billing the resident families. 12. Ergonomic upgrades for the Housing Authority's administrative and clerical staff are needed. $20,000 will be used to provide safe and ergonomically correct workspaces. 0. In addition to the above, other replacement will be made for deteriorated or dysfunctional physical components at our public housing developments. II. MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS The Housing Authority has three major objectives in its proposed use of CGP Management Improvement funds: 1) to provide needed physical and personal security at various developments, 2) to strengthen our internal management and fiscal controls, and 3) to continue to upgrade our computer systems in order to gain operational efficiencies and controls and better access to management information. 1. For CGP Program Year 1999 of the$531,000 earmarked for management improvements,nearly$232,000 will be used to provide security guards and Deputy Sheriffs. This will provide the flexibility to address specific security situations, as needed,at each development. 2. Funds are again being allocated to provide a Resident Services Coordinator/Programs Officer to help develop and coordinate resident services and capacity as well as help implement programs. The Authority has also allocated funds to provide an Assistant Director of Facilities Management to direct the Public Housing Maintenance division. A Resident Services Coordinator will provide staffing for individual Resident Councils, and the Board of Resident Council Presidents. A more coordinated and focused management of the maintenance division is needed given the large investment in the capital stock that the agency has made in recent years and the need to maintain the units at the highest standard in order to compete in the housing market. Page 3 C:\My DomnerAsACGPSTRAT.doc 3. In order to more efficiently press the administrative and accounting workload,upgrades to the computer systems are will continue to be made for the field offices. To date,the three largest field offices have been equipped with new PC's;the remaining offices are scheduled to receive these hardware upgrades in the next year. The Authority is contemplating moving from its existing computer systems,one for accounting and one for operations,to a new"integrated"computer system which will run on a Wide Area Network(WAN), connecting all of our offices. This new system will integrate both fiscal and operations functions. 111. ADDITIONAL NEEDS Accrual of additional needs during the five-year period may also cause some shifting of the priorities as the Authority updates its five-year Action flan each year and may result in additional unfunded need at the end of the period. Urgent repair needs which occur during the five-year period will be factored into the aratual update of the Action flan. Emergency work will be done immediately. Page 4 C:thly DocummW\CGPSTRAT.doc
