8. 2006 Public Housing Authority Budget Update and the Impact of Revisions to the

Public Housing Operating Fund Program – (Power Point Presentation)

LaShelle Dozier, Housing Operations Director, introduced the item and provided an explanation of the new Asset Based Management Program that the Agency will implement in the near future. This is in response to the new housing authority regulations from Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The HUD deadline for implementation of the new regulations is October 2006.

Nick Chhotu, Housing Management Analyst, provided details about how the Asset Based Management program will work and said HUD is now requiring “decentralized” operations for housing authorities throughout the country. He said the Agency will now be required to show individual, self-sustaining projects with individual project based financials instead of the current system that provides for one centralized budget for all projects.

There was no public comment on this item.

No action required by the Commission on this item; information presentation only.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

a. Calendar of Events Highlights – Anne Moore announced the Greer Elementary School Sidewalk Dedication scheduled for May 26 at 1:45 p.m. and Angela Jones, Public Information Officer, discussed the Affordable Housing BusTour scheduled for June 22, 2006.

b. Condo Conversion Issue - Cindy Cavanaugh, Assistant Director, Housing Policy & Development, said staff would bring the Condo Conversion issue before the Commission at its meeting on June 21. She said staff is seeing a number of projects being contemplated for conversion within the County, but not many projects occurring within the City.

ITEMS AND QUESTIONS OF COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Coriano said he had received a couple of phone calls from Section 8 landlords who were kept waiting on hold for when they called SHRA for assistance. Mary Liz Paulson, Assistant Director, HCV & Applications, provided information to the Commission on the Agency’s call center and said she would follow up on the matter. Commissioner Coriano asked a question about the Agency receiving tenant/landlord disputes for those properties participating in the Section 8 program. Mary Liz Paulson said such complaints really fall under the purview of how the landlords are managing their tenants.

Commissioner Burruss said the City of Sacramento Planning Commission agendas should be changed to remove Joan Roberts’ name as Agency Clerk.

As there was no further business to be conducted, Vice Chair Shah adjourned the meeting at 7:29 p.m.
