5. Accept attached recommendation to increase the occupancy cost factor from the current 1% to 3%. 
  Brian Balbas and Wanda Quever from Public Works presented a report requesting that the current $750,000 per year capital renewal rate for facility maintenance and replacement be increased in the 2017/18 fiscal year.  The original rate, which was offset by general fund dollars, was approximately 1% and was intended to build funding for preventative maintenance.  The current funding level doesn't cover annual maintenance and provides no funds for preventative maintenance.  The request was to increase the rate to approximately 3% or $2,550,000 per year.  The request was approved.

  Christine Louie, CDBG Program Planner, recommended that the Community Housing and Development Corporation of North Richmond - Neighborhood House Multicultural Senior and Family Center be allocated an additional $9,700 in CDBG funds.  She noted that the funds will come from CDBG income, primarily from housing project residual receipts.  Supervisor Piepho asked if the request had been made during the original application if it would have affected the outcome.  Staff responded that it would not.  The item was approved.
