RECOMMENDATIONS

1. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, or his designee, to execute a fourteen month contract with the City of Pittsburg in an amount not to exceed $157,060 to provide the Housing Authority’s El Pueblo public housing development with additional law enforcement services for the period beginning April 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015.

2. RATIFY payments previously made to the City of Pittsburg for additional law enforcement services at the Housing Authority’s El Pueblo public housing development for the period beginning April 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2014 in the amount of $85,578.40.

BACKGROUND

For the past twenty (20) years, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (“Housing Authority”) has contracted with the City of Pittsburg to provide one full-time police officer for additional community-oriented policing duties at the El Pueblo Housing Development. The officer focuses on eliminating drug-related activities, eliminating violent crimes, and working closely with residents to provide services beyond those normally offered by the police.

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost for this service will not exceed $157,060 and is funded by the Housing Authority's Operation funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION

If the Board of Commissioners does not approve this contract, the City of Pittsburg will not have sufficient resources to continue providing the necessary additional law enforcement services to the residents of the El Pueblo public housing community.
