RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to approve and authorize relocation payments and to execute relocation claims in connection with the County’s acquisition of the Motel 6 located at 2101 Loveridge Road, Pittsburg, and the relocation of the resident manager of the Motel 6.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State Homekey and Homeless Emergency Aid Program Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County acquired the former Motel 6, located at 2101 Loveridge Road in Pittsburg, to increase the number of beds available to homeless individuals in East County. The County was awarded $21,576,000 of State Homekey money for the purchase and rehabilitation of the site and its operation as a homeless shelter. The acquisition will increase the number of shelter beds permanently available in East County from 20 to 174, an increase of 770%. In addition, the acquisition will enable the County to achieve its goal of creating a permanent service hub in East County to help homeless residents transition into stable living situations - in less time, and at a lower cost, than would be required to develop a new facility.

Due to the County’s acquisition of the former Motel 6, the on-site manager and his family will be required to relocate from their current on-site manager’s unit and are entitled to relocation assistance under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended also referred to as the Uniform Act. The Uniform Act requires the County to provide financial assistance to the displaced household to help offset any additional cost related to increased rents and a payment for moving their personal belongings to their new dwelling. (CP #20-20)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be able to remit relocation payments in a timely manner, which could result in the relocation beneficiaries not being able to timely secure replacement housing.
