RECOMMENDATIONS

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, or his designee, to execute a twelve month contract with the City of Pittsburg in an amount not to exceed $158,000 to provide the Housing Authority’s El Pueblo public housing development with additional law enforcement services for the period beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2021.

BACKGROUND

For the past twenty-three years (or more), HACCC 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 Housing Authority’s (HACCC) total cost for one year service will not exceed $158,000. Funding for this contract is included in HACCC's current budget using the public housing operating subsidy provided by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
