RECOMMENDATION(S):

INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 2011-01, which dissolves the Advisory Housing Commission for the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, WAIVE reading, and FIX March 1, 2011 for adoption, as requested by the Housing Authority Executive Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact on the County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

On April 27, 2010, the Contra Costa County Housing Authority Board of Commissioners directed staff to take steps to dissolve the Housing Authority’s Advisory Housing Commission and increase the size of the Board of Commissioners to eight members.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The first step in the process is for the Board of Supervisors to dissolve the Advisory Housing Commission by repealing the ordinance that established the commission. The commission was established on November 24, 1981 by Ordinance No. 3359, which was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in its capacity as the Board of Commissioners.

The attached ordinance, Ordinance No. 2011-01, repeals Ordinance No. 3359. The attached ordinance is is recommended for adoption by the Board of Supervisors in accordance with Health and Safety Code section 34291, which provides that a board of supervisors may establish a housing advisory commission by ordinance. Because Ordinance No. 3359 was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in its capacity as the Board of Commissioners, the Board of Commissioners will consider ratifying Ordinance No. 2011-01 following its adoption by the Board of Supervisors.

Following adoption of the attached ordinance by the Board, staff will present the following items to the Board of Supervisors, as the governing body of the Housing Authority:

1. A resolution to increase the size of the Board of Commissioners to eight commissioners. The eight commissioners will be the five members of the Board of Supervisors, two tenant commissioners, and a commissioner who is a homeless or formerly homeless person.

2. A board order appointing new members to the Board of Commissioners.
