1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,000
We will start the meeting, let's please have the row

2
00:00:08,229 --> 00:00:10,229
call.

3
00:00:31,734 --> 00:00:36,700
I just wanted to complement all of the efforts that have

4
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:37,800
been made especially during last week affordable housing

5
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,800
week.

6
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,800
we had some wonderful events which executive director

7
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,800
will be reporting on.

8
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,800
I brought in the editorial and the article regarding our

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,800
15 anniversary.

10
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:00,800
it was a wonderful timing.

11
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,408
the article was great.

12
00:01:02,948 --> 00:01:07,948
I want to thank everyone who contributed either to the

13
00:01:07,948 --> 00:01:10,948
events who attended the event and also who made these

14
00:01:10,948 --> 00:01:12,948
articles happen.

15
00:01:14,948 --> 00:01:20,348
it's not often that we get prominent notice sometimes

16
00:01:22,948 --> 00:01:25,948
you get not so good notice on the mercury news.

17
00:01:25,948 --> 00:01:30,748
I had to pay attention to this one.

18
00:01:34,948 --> 00:01:35,948
I want to make sure that everyone, all the commissioners

19
00:01:35,948 --> 00:01:36,948
know that they have to turn off the microphone after the

20
00:01:36,948 --> 00:01:38,948
speak.

21
00:01:40,948 --> 00:01:46,948
so the we don't have chatter going on in the recording.

22
00:01:46,948 --> 00:01:47,948
we will get to comments from the public on an item that

23
00:01:47,948 --> 00:01:49,948
it's not on the agenda.

24
00:01:49,948 --> 00:01:54,948
I do have a few people who want to speak on the item

25
00:01:54,948 --> 00:02:01,548
that is not on the agenda I will call them forward.

26
00:02:03,888 --> 00:02:05,888
I'm sorry?

27
00:02:07,888 --> 00:02:08,888
yes.

28
00:02:08,888 --> 00:02:09,888
stephanie?

29
00:02:09,888 --> 00:02:11,888
stephanie shaw?

30
00:02:19,888 --> 00:02:24,888
>> good morning my name is stephanie shaw I have been a

31
00:02:24,888 --> 00:02:27,288
housing authority employee for 24.

32
00:02:27,888 --> 00:02:29,888
085 years.

33
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:40,888
as a housing program specialist, I'm a member of scei

34
00:02:44,888 --> 00:02:45,888
you 521 and a contract action team member.

35
00:02:45,888 --> 00:02:50,888
when I first came to the housing authority I was just

36
00:02:50,888 --> 00:02:51,888
amazed.

37
00:02:51,888 --> 00:02:56,688
I had no intentions of staying this long.

38
00:02:59,888 --> 00:03:00,828
I decided, I'll come for four years and in all leave but

39
00:03:00,828 --> 00:03:01,828
I didn't.

40
00:03:01,828 --> 00:03:07,228
what I found was employees would been here for 15, 10,

41
00:03:10,828 --> 00:03:13,828
20 years and when I inquired I said, are you here?

42
00:03:13,828 --> 00:03:16,828
because they felt that they were very committed to the

43
00:03:16,828 --> 00:03:18,828
organization and their mission.

44
00:03:18,828 --> 00:03:24,828
after that I thought, maybe allstate a couple of more

45
00:03:28,828 --> 00:03:29,828
years.

46
00:03:29,828 --> 00:03:30,828
plus there were job offers on the table for me to go but

47
00:03:30,828 --> 00:03:32,828
I decided I wanted to stay here and make a difference

48
00:03:32,828 --> 00:03:36,428
and I feel that I have.

49
00:03:37,828 --> 00:03:39,828
as you know, we are in our contract negotiations.

50
00:03:39,828 --> 00:03:46,428
we have set clear goals we won a contract that addresses

51
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:49,828
fair concentration that retains and recruits a

52
00:03:49,828 --> 00:03:51,828
cutting-edge workforce.

53
00:03:54,828 --> 00:03:55,828
we would like to look at a work standard, medical

54
00:03:55,828 --> 00:04:01,228
benefits and most importantly we won a contract that

55
00:04:13,768 --> 00:04:14,768
recognizes employees years of committed service.

56
00:04:14,768 --> 00:04:15,768
earlier this month, management gave us her comprehensive

57
00:04:15,768 --> 00:04:16,768
proposal that would only lead to a high turnover which

58
00:04:16,768 --> 00:04:18,768
has a negative impact on the quality of service that we

59
00:04:18,768 --> 00:04:19,768
provide to our community.

60
00:04:19,768 --> 00:04:23,768
based on this proposal, over 50% of the imports would

61
00:04:23,768 --> 00:04:29,168
not have wage princes, around 90% of the employees will

62
00:04:32,768 --> 00:04:39,368
receive a wage increase while only get a 1-2% way to

63
00:04:44,768 --> 00:04:45,768
increase.

64
00:04:45,768 --> 00:04:46,768
it's an insult because this is not even cover inflation.

65
00:04:46,768 --> 00:04:47,768
management propose to put the burden on any changes in

66
00:04:47,768 --> 00:04:49,768
medical expenses on the employees and employees

67
00:04:49,768 --> 00:04:53,968
contribute the full cost of their pension.

68
00:04:59,768 --> 00:05:00,708
with this proposal, we do not see any improvements

69
00:05:00,708 --> 00:05:03,108
always see his takeaways.

70
00:05:12,708 --> 00:05:13,708
management has proposed to weakening our unit by

71
00:05:13,708 --> 00:05:14,708
proposing to remove the it coordinator, computer system

72
00:05:14,708 --> 00:05:16,708
technicians and database analysts from our union.

73
00:05:16,708 --> 00:05:17,708
the message we want to bring to you today is, we want to

74
00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:21,708
contract that will recruit, retain qualified and a

75
00:05:21,708 --> 00:05:23,708
committed force.

76
00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:31,108
recognize and value employees years of service and your

77
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:33,708
loyalty.

78
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:37,908
more dates and longer sessions of negotiations.

79
00:05:53,708 --> 00:05:54,708
we are not a throw away, we wish to be heard.

80
00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:55,708
and a contract and ensures that our employees will be

81
00:05:55,708 --> 00:05:56,708
paid a salary that allows them and their families to

82
00:05:56,708 --> 00:05:57,708
live in santa clara valley with dignity and respect.

83
00:05:57,708 --> 00:05:58,708
thank you.

84
00:05:58,708 --> 00:06:00,708
>> thank you.

85
00:06:06,648 --> 00:06:07,648
I would like to thank michel and say, she kept it to two

86
00:06:07,648 --> 00:06:13,480
minutes and I'm requesting everyone to do the same.

87
00:06:20,648 --> 00:06:22,648
si?

88
00:06:25,648 --> 00:06:26,648
when would you like to come, I will put you on the

89
00:06:26,648 --> 00:06:28,648
bottom?

90
00:06:28,648 --> 00:06:30,648
>> good morning.

91
00:06:30,648 --> 00:06:36,648
I vanessa and I a program specialist for almost 7 years.

92
00:06:47,648 --> 00:06:48,648
what I wanted to discuss today is the recent issue of

93
00:06:48,648 --> 00:06:49,648
customer service.

94
00:06:49,648 --> 00:06:50,648
it seems it's been a hot button topic lately.

95
00:06:50,648 --> 00:06:51,648
and I myself kind of feel that the finger has been

96
00:06:51,648 --> 00:06:57,480
pointed on the specialist and housing assistance but, I

97
00:07:09,588 --> 00:07:10,588
think we should think about what the recent changes that

98
00:07:10,588 --> 00:07:11,588
occurred that have cost this outcry from the community

99
00:07:11,588 --> 00:07:12,588
about this lack of service that they feel they are

100
00:07:12,588 --> 00:07:13,588
receiving.

101
00:07:13,588 --> 00:07:14,588
many of the people in her agency have been here for five

102
00:07:14,588 --> 00:07:18,788
years and this is a new issue.

103
00:07:20,588 --> 00:07:25,588
and since the majority of staff has not change I would

104
00:07:25,588 --> 00:07:26,588
like to think of what has teams that may have

105
00:07:26,588 --> 00:07:27,588
contributed?

106
00:07:27,588 --> 00:07:32,588
one thing we do not longer have manager, supervisor

107
00:07:32,588 --> 00:07:34,588
meeting.

108
00:07:39,588 --> 00:07:40,588
the goal of that change to stop all meetings was to

109
00:07:40,588 --> 00:07:42,988
improve customer service meetings.

110
00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:48,388
we need to think, has that goldman achieved?

111
00:07:48,588 --> 00:07:49,588
our work process have changed, we've begun the

112
00:07:49,588 --> 00:07:54,388
implication of the process meaning that, housing program

113
00:07:56,588 --> 00:08:02,588
specialist now process a file from beginning to end when

114
00:08:06,588 --> 00:08:07,588
the applicant is determined to be eligible to become to

115
00:08:07,588 --> 00:08:08,588
the program all the way that they determined, for

116
00:08:08,588 --> 00:08:12,188
whatever reasons they are not eligible.

117
00:08:18,588 --> 00:08:19,588
it was anticipated that this change would decrease a

118
00:08:19,588 --> 00:08:20,588
workload on staff, however, the majority of my

119
00:08:20,588 --> 00:08:25,388
colleagues to not agree that this has happened.

120
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:26,588
when I calculated this outcome of the case lowes has

121
00:08:26,588 --> 00:08:28,988
decreased by 30-40 families.

122
00:08:31,588 --> 00:08:32,588
it may sound a lot but when you handle 400 families, and

123
00:08:32,588 --> 00:08:37,388
does not make that large of an impact.

124
00:08:41,588 --> 00:08:42,588
initially, it sounds like a decrease but what has

125
00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:43,588
occurred is large task to take up a lot of time and have

126
00:08:43,588 --> 00:08:45,988
been shifted to specialist.

127
00:08:52,588 --> 00:08:53,588
and then the additional new referrals have committee

128
00:08:53,588 --> 00:08:54,588
created --mitigated any referrals.

129
00:08:54,588 --> 00:08:58,588
we do not have the ability to retain staff.

130
00:08:58,588 --> 00:09:04,588
new personal come into the staff there giving full case

131
00:09:14,528 --> 00:09:15,528
load and given responsibility without training.

132
00:09:15,528 --> 00:09:16,528
these changes have been over wyoming for the season

133
00:09:16,528 --> 00:09:17,528
staff I cannot imagine how the new staff must feel.

134
00:09:17,528 --> 00:09:18,528
apparently the lack of retention tells us how they feel.

135
00:09:18,528 --> 00:09:19,528
they are leaving the agency.

136
00:09:19,528 --> 00:09:20,528
>> this is two minutes.

137
00:09:20,528 --> 00:09:21,528
thank you.

138
00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:23,528
>> thank you.

139
00:09:36,528 --> 00:09:37,528
hi, thank you for letting me address your name.

140
00:09:37,528 --> 00:09:38,528
my name is john and I've been here around 19 months.

141
00:09:38,528 --> 00:09:41,528
I've earned two college degrees.

142
00:09:56,528 --> 00:09:57,528
I also worked at two housing authorities at a couple

143
00:09:57,528 --> 00:09:58,528
hosteling nonprofits.

144
00:09:58,528 --> 00:09:59,528
the reason why bring this up is because a housing

145
00:09:59,528 --> 00:10:00,468
authority has stated that they wanted to obtain and

146
00:10:00,468 --> 00:10:01,468
retain qualified and experienced workers.

147
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:02,468
but going beyond the rhetoric and looking at what's on

148
00:10:02,468 --> 00:10:07,868
the papers looking with the action, actions such as

149
00:10:15,468 --> 00:10:16,468
proposing cuts to a benefit, attacking our requirements

150
00:10:16,468 --> 00:10:17,468
and retirements.

151
00:10:17,468 --> 00:10:18,468
undercutting her wages and more importantly denying the

152
00:10:18,468 --> 00:10:22,680
most experienced worker a cost-of-living increase.

153
00:10:23,468 --> 00:10:24,468
to state the obvious, we live in one of the most

154
00:10:24,468 --> 00:10:28,680
unaffordable places in the united states.

155
00:10:29,468 --> 00:10:36,680
to me, this does not spell out the competitive nor even

156
00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:41,468
retaining people.

157
00:10:41,468 --> 00:10:42,468
I also wanted to share with you guys in the last two

158
00:10:42,468 --> 00:10:43,468
weeks we have lost five housing specialist from her

159
00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:45,468
agency.

160
00:10:50,468 --> 00:10:51,468
requesting that the board can involved, too, ask

161
00:10:51,468 --> 00:10:52,468
questions and three, help us achieve a fair contract.

162
00:10:52,468 --> 00:10:57,268
we also are requesting that management provide us

163
00:11:02,408 --> 00:11:03,408
additional days to negotiate the contract as of now

164
00:11:03,408 --> 00:11:04,408
we'll have one schedule contract negotiation date which

165
00:11:04,408 --> 00:11:05,408
is in june.

166
00:11:05,408 --> 00:11:07,808
thank you very much.

167
00:11:09,408 --> 00:11:12,408
>> susan cartwright, no shaun cartwright.

168
00:11:41,408 --> 00:11:42,408
the current all the way home program causes to secure

169
00:11:42,408 --> 00:11:43,408
homelessness.

170
00:11:43,408 --> 00:11:44,408
it causes displacements and perhaps even death just

171
00:11:44,408 --> 00:11:45,408
based on the information that we've tracked down

172
00:11:45,408 --> 00:11:46,408
ourselves from the family alone at four properties in

173
00:11:46,408 --> 00:11:47,408
san jose and three in santa clara have cleared about 60

174
00:11:47,408 --> 00:11:48,408
units not people units.

175
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:53,408
two men that's the majority of these fats were not

176
00:11:53,408 --> 00:11:54,408
homeless, they came from other homes they knew they were

177
00:11:54,408 --> 00:11:55,408
moving into the units for 3 to 5 months and now these

178
00:11:55,408 --> 00:12:00,208
fats --and they replace people who are rent-controlled

179
00:12:01,348 --> 00:12:05,548
or painted long run for the area.

180
00:12:06,348 --> 00:12:07,348
now these fats are caught in the middle.

181
00:12:07,348 --> 00:12:08,348
they're terrified to go to loser housing again.

182
00:12:08,348 --> 00:12:14,948
some of them are the maximum level and there are afraid

183
00:12:25,348 --> 00:12:26,348
that the rent will be raised and they will be homeless

184
00:12:26,348 --> 00:12:27,348
once again.

185
00:12:27,348 --> 00:12:28,348
we spoken to catherine and her counterpart mona at the

186
00:12:28,348 --> 00:12:29,348
va and both seem unable or unwilling to change the

187
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:34,348
system which is why we are here today and doing media.

188
00:12:34,348 --> 00:12:35,348
on behalf of paul mayer the 92 veteran been evicted and

189
00:12:35,348 --> 00:12:36,348
who we all feel may die because of the stress of force

190
00:12:36,348 --> 00:12:42,948
leave his home of 44 years, I ask you to close a

191
00:12:43,348 --> 00:12:44,348
loophole that allows people like the greedy the males to

192
00:12:44,348 --> 00:12:45,348
profit out of other people's pain and plight.

193
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:47,348
>> thank you.

194
00:12:49,348 --> 00:12:51,348
corey?

195
00:13:02,288 --> 00:13:03,288
>> good morning.

196
00:13:03,288 --> 00:13:04,288
I'm here because of the d my old family and their greed.

197
00:13:04,288 --> 00:13:05,288
I homeless because of this family and their great.

198
00:13:05,288 --> 00:13:07,288
it's that simple.

199
00:13:12,288 --> 00:13:13,288
the impacted my entire apartment complex on this war

200
00:13:13,288 --> 00:13:14,288
they would not do that, they came in give us also today

201
00:13:14,288 --> 00:13:17,288
notices and then refuse to give us our deposits back of

202
00:13:17,288 --> 00:13:20,288
the eventually dad we had to fight for the couple next

203
00:13:20,288 --> 00:13:26,888
to me they have a special needs daughter who had they

204
00:13:29,288 --> 00:13:30,288
had to concentrate on and find a new place for her, they

205
00:13:30,288 --> 00:13:31,288
couldn't find anything they just had to get out and get

206
00:13:31,288 --> 00:13:35,488
a new place and start over again.

207
00:13:40,288 --> 00:13:41,288
none of this had happened it wasn't for the greed of

208
00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:42,288
this family.

209
00:13:42,288 --> 00:13:43,288
it's not about housing, homeless veterans is about them

210
00:13:43,288 --> 00:13:45,288
making more and more money and because of them, I'm not

211
00:13:45,288 --> 00:13:46,288
homeless.

212
00:13:46,288 --> 00:13:49,288
I'm working, but I'm homeless.

213
00:13:58,288 --> 00:13:59,288
you can change that, not my situation but their

214
00:13:59,288 --> 00:14:00,228
situation and hopefully family situation because I'm

215
00:14:00,228 --> 00:14:01,228
single and I don't have kids.

216
00:14:01,228 --> 00:14:02,228
there's family out there and shelter due to this family.

217
00:14:02,228 --> 00:14:04,228
it's up to you to change that, I can only do so much I

218
00:14:04,228 --> 00:14:09,228
work full-time but like I said, I homeless and I'm

219
00:14:09,228 --> 00:14:13,428
trying to change that as we speak.

220
00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:17,228
being single without kids is a little bit easier on me

221
00:14:17,228 --> 00:14:18,228
but there are plenty of families out there that are

222
00:14:18,228 --> 00:14:23,628
struggling there now living in shelters that should be

223
00:14:26,228 --> 00:14:27,228
but are because of this family.

224
00:14:27,228 --> 00:14:28,228
thank you.

225
00:14:28,228 --> 00:14:30,228
>> thank you.

226
00:14:38,228 --> 00:14:41,228
I'm sorry by men's pronounces last name.

227
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:43,228
it's okay.

228
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:57,228
good morning I live in san jose as part of the

229
00:14:57,228 --> 00:14:58,228
investigative team that was looking into the this family

230
00:14:58,228 --> 00:14:59,228
properties, we initially starting looking into it

231
00:14:59,228 --> 00:15:02,168
because of the claim that they were renovating the

232
00:15:02,168 --> 00:15:03,168
properties and that's why they were evicting all the

233
00:15:03,168 --> 00:15:05,168
tenants.

234
00:15:05,168 --> 00:15:06,168
we were talking to the folks and a lot of them had no

235
00:15:06,168 --> 00:15:09,168
idea that these veterans knew that they were taking the

236
00:15:09,168 --> 00:15:13,168
place of someone who had been affected.

237
00:15:13,168 --> 00:15:19,168
they thought that they were coming into clear units when

238
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:23,968
we started 10 him what happened, they felt bad.

239
00:15:26,168 --> 00:15:27,168
they heard about the 92-year-old veteran being kicked

240
00:15:27,168 --> 00:15:30,168
out and they themselves as veterans felt bad because

241
00:15:30,168 --> 00:15:32,168
they know how hard it is.

242
00:15:32,168 --> 00:15:38,168
it was shocking because I used to work for --in the

243
00:15:38,168 --> 00:15:44,768
partner project all for all the way home project and I

244
00:15:48,168 --> 00:15:49,168
was proud because I think it's a very good mission it's

245
00:15:49,168 --> 00:15:50,168
important for veterans to come back and have that you

246
00:15:50,168 --> 00:15:54,368
know, confidence at the will be house.

247
00:15:57,168 --> 00:15:58,168
but to displace other people were not accomplishing

248
00:15:58,168 --> 00:15:59,168
anything.

249
00:15:59,168 --> 00:16:06,368
I think this is something I need to be closed and this

250
00:16:11,108 --> 00:16:12,108
happened prior to the alice act and the know cause a

251
00:16:12,108 --> 00:16:13,108
bitches those just passed by san jose.

252
00:16:13,108 --> 00:16:14,108
it's important to kind of do this retroactively and stop

253
00:16:14,108 --> 00:16:15,108
this once for all.

254
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:16,108
and really fix the problem of housing people and prevent

255
00:16:16,108 --> 00:16:17,108
homelessness.

256
00:16:17,108 --> 00:16:19,108
thank you.

257
00:16:20,108 --> 00:16:22,108
thank you.

258
00:16:22,108 --> 00:16:24,108
jamie.

259
00:16:28,108 --> 00:16:30,108
thank you.

260
00:16:42,108 --> 00:16:43,108
I jamie and I'm an homeless advocate and I was with the

261
00:16:43,108 --> 00:16:44,108
abyss a good team we were actually there on the first

262
00:16:44,108 --> 00:16:45,108
property where we figured that the veterans were being

263
00:16:45,108 --> 00:16:49,908
put in and other people are being displaced.

264
00:16:53,108 --> 00:16:54,108
the lead to other properties and I was at the second

265
00:16:54,108 --> 00:16:55,108
property is on really poor living conditions.

266
00:16:55,108 --> 00:16:56,108
there was glass outside there were doing some

267
00:16:56,108 --> 00:16:59,108
construction without permits and really young children,

268
00:16:59,108 --> 00:17:00,480
there were nails of the gutter was falling off and it

269
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,480
was really important condition.

270
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:08,848
it was kind of sad to see these families they had to be

271
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,480
in a hotel over a month, thank goodness for set jos

272
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,480
housing department they put them up in a hotel but

273
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,480
that's because of our connections but the family that

274
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,480
did not have the connection they could of been living in

275
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,480
a car or shelters.

276
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,480
it's important that we fix this loophole also, with the

277
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,480
trump cuts, we really hope that there is any cuts to

278
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,480
housing.

279
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,480
I grew up on section 8 and I'm working and I'm working

280
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,448
in the committee and it's really important the families

281
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,480
have homes and my mom is currently on housing now with

282
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,848
my nine-year-old sister and thank goodness for that.

283
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,480
thank you kathy.

284
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:07,480
I have not been here for a long time but as jamie

285
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,480
mentioned --we have mr. Jamie we really felt ignored

286
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,480
actually.

287
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,480
>> trust me, I'm going to do a lot better for the months

288
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,848
coming up because actually what jamie mentioned about

289
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,480
the cuts they're extremely serious there more serious

290
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,480
documents which are coming out in our more serious and

291
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,480
what we heard about even before we had a big event at

292
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,448
the college were catherine presented about the cuts and

293
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,648
what can be done about them.

294
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,480
the main answer that people came up with is that we got

295
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,480
to come together.

296
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,480
we got to come together with the tenants, the tenants

297
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,480
got to get organize which is my job and that's

298
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,480
uncommitted to do but we also need the cooperation of

299
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,480
the commissioners and all the agencies that we work

300
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:57,480
with.

301
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:03,648
I would like to thank you for participating and that I

302
00:19:06,988 --> 00:19:07,988
think this issue is extremely important.

303
00:19:07,988 --> 00:19:08,988
it's kind of a scandal that's been going on for a while

304
00:19:08,988 --> 00:19:13,788
and I don't think that it's over yet.

305
00:19:13,988 --> 00:19:14,988
I think it's important for the housing authority to find

306
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:15,988
a way to address it.

307
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,988
I do not know the legalities of it but something needs

308
00:19:18,988 --> 00:19:19,988
to be done.

309
00:19:19,988 --> 00:19:25,388
you cannot house some people by making other people

310
00:19:34,988 --> 00:19:35,988
homeless, that the pizza purpose.

311
00:19:35,988 --> 00:19:36,988
part of our whole process here as I said, we need to

312
00:19:36,988 --> 00:19:37,988
bring people together and to bring people together, we

313
00:19:37,988 --> 00:19:38,988
cannot allow the perception that we are cooperating with

314
00:19:38,988 --> 00:19:40,988
these bad actors.

315
00:19:45,988 --> 00:19:46,988
the family is so bad we were discussing this in san jose

316
00:19:46,988 --> 00:19:47,988
and our discussions of just cause.

317
00:19:47,988 --> 00:19:53,988
some of the landlords even said, when we pass, they

318
00:19:54,988 --> 00:19:55,988
wanted to have a was called a tenant protection act they

319
00:19:55,988 --> 00:20:00,928
said we passes active, will call it the de mayo tenant

320
00:20:00,928 --> 00:20:02,928
protection act because they are so notorious.

321
00:20:02,928 --> 00:20:06,928
I think it's important to take whatever action is

322
00:20:06,928 --> 00:20:09,928
practical to put a stop to this.

323
00:20:09,928 --> 00:20:12,328
thank you very much.

324
00:20:13,928 --> 00:20:15,928
thank you.

325
00:20:16,928 --> 00:20:23,528
so, I have been involved in my role with the campaign

326
00:20:23,928 --> 00:20:24,928
and I want to say to shaun and your colleagues at you

327
00:20:24,928 --> 00:20:32,128
really did a lot of work to make this issue public and

328
00:20:35,928 --> 00:20:36,928
in the forefront and you help me understand things that

329
00:20:36,928 --> 00:20:40,928
I did not know and I'm really grateful to your advocacy.

330
00:20:40,928 --> 00:20:41,928
we and I take this seriously and we've already been

331
00:20:41,928 --> 00:20:43,928
talking about this.

332
00:20:43,928 --> 00:20:47,528
just know I grateful to you.

333
00:20:54,928 --> 00:20:55,928
so, we need to I can die this for a future meeting?

334
00:20:55,928 --> 00:20:56,928
yes.

335
00:20:56,928 --> 00:21:00,868
I have already asked for that in a previous meeting.

336
00:21:00,868 --> 00:21:01,868
with the city of san jose of you recall when patrick

337
00:21:01,868 --> 00:21:03,868
reported last month about the just cause there was every

338
00:21:03,868 --> 00:21:06,868
quest to bring that back and also report on how would

339
00:21:06,868 --> 00:21:12,268
work with her voucher leasing system and frankly there

340
00:21:14,868 --> 00:21:18,868
is a set of landlord incentives there are part of all

341
00:21:18,868 --> 00:21:22,868
the way home campaign and there's another one that we

342
00:21:22,868 --> 00:21:29,468
have just approved as part of a move to work activity.

343
00:21:36,868 --> 00:21:37,868
putting that all together and having the city

344
00:21:37,868 --> 00:21:38,868
participate and I would anticipate that I'll probably in

345
00:21:38,868 --> 00:21:39,868
august board date.

346
00:21:39,868 --> 00:21:40,868
we have budget in june, nobody july so it's probably

347
00:21:40,868 --> 00:21:41,868
gonna be august the best opportunity for us to collect

348
00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:42,868
information.

349
00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:45,868
it would also give the city time to get their

350
00:21:45,868 --> 00:21:48,268
enforcement up and running.

351
00:21:54,868 --> 00:21:58,868
I will have a motion for approval of the minutes.

352
00:21:58,868 --> 00:22:02,808
one second, before you go to that we heard some

353
00:22:02,808 --> 00:22:06,808
statements about retention, can we get that on her next

354
00:22:06,808 --> 00:22:14,800
meaning I would like to get some facts if we have a

355
00:22:14,808 --> 00:22:18,808
retention issue and what it looks like it's and what the

356
00:22:18,808 --> 00:22:21,808
rates are you now by unit chris mark we have actually

357
00:22:21,808 --> 00:22:27,808
pull that data will happy to provide it to commissioner

358
00:22:29,808 --> 00:22:32,808
anderson is addressing employee retention.

359
00:22:35,808 --> 00:22:36,808
I want to start with the facts so, I need some factual

360
00:22:36,808 --> 00:22:42,808
information and you can compare it to the retention or

361
00:22:46,808 --> 00:22:47,808
whatever you want to compare it to.

362
00:22:47,808 --> 00:22:48,808
I would like to have something that gives me some

363
00:22:48,808 --> 00:22:51,808
information about it's an allegation.

364
00:22:52,808 --> 00:22:56,408
absolutely we, we can do that.

365
00:23:01,748 --> 00:23:02,748
>> do we have a report on the negotiations?

366
00:23:02,748 --> 00:23:03,748
at the end of the board meeting we were going to talk to

367
00:23:03,748 --> 00:23:09,148
you about scheduling a special meeting on the operating

368
00:23:13,748 --> 00:23:14,748
budget and that would be a good opportunity for us to go

369
00:23:14,748 --> 00:23:15,748
back in a close session.

370
00:23:15,748 --> 00:23:16,748
at this point, we did not schedule a close session

371
00:23:16,748 --> 00:23:17,748
because we have not received a proposal from labor.

372
00:23:17,748 --> 00:23:21,948
we are kind of waiting for things.

373
00:23:26,748 --> 00:23:27,748
for things to mature.

374
00:23:27,748 --> 00:23:28,748
people made specific suggestions and I do not want to

375
00:23:28,748 --> 00:23:34,748
comment on the two minute but I concerned about some of

376
00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:35,748
the things that they said.

377
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:36,748
at some point, I would like either a close session we

378
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:38,748
can discuss what's going on.

379
00:23:38,748 --> 00:23:43,748
at the end of the board meeting we can do this.

380
00:23:43,748 --> 00:23:44,748
thank you.

381
00:23:44,748 --> 00:23:48,748

382
00:23:48,748 --> 00:23:50,748

383
00:23:54,748 --> 00:23:57,748
>> is there a way, can we get those comments submitted

384
00:23:57,748 --> 00:24:00,148
that people presented today?

385
00:24:02,688 --> 00:24:06,288
>> I'm not sure what you mean?

386
00:24:08,688 --> 00:24:09,688
>> those that came forward and had their two minute

387
00:24:09,688 --> 00:24:15,880

four--

389
00:24:19,688 --> 00:24:20,688
>> everything that is in the board meeting is a recorded

390
00:24:20,688 --> 00:24:21,688
on audio.

391
00:24:21,688 --> 00:24:22,688
you can go back and listen to it if you like.

392
00:24:22,688 --> 00:24:23,688
>> thank you.

00:24:23,688 --> 00:24:27,288

>> second.

399

commissioner anderson the motion was made and who

400
00:24:44,688 --> 00:24:45,688

401
00:24:45,688 --> 00:24:46,688
all right, commissioner loving.

402
00:24:46,688 --> 00:24:48,688
mine.

403
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:49,688
all in favor say yes?

404
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:51,688
motion passes.

405
00:24:54,688 --> 00:24:55,688
we will have our verbal report from the executive

406
00:24:55,688 --> 00:24:57,688
director.

407
00:25:10,628 --> 00:25:11,628
>> good morning I going to try to move this along.

408
00:25:11,628 --> 00:25:12,628
I just want report that last month the board gave us

409
00:25:12,628 --> 00:25:13,628
authority to put in a bid on a small parcel of property

410
00:25:13,628 --> 00:25:14,628
nearby.

411
00:25:14,628 --> 00:25:15,628
with the hope so we can secure some additional parking

412
00:25:15,628 --> 00:25:17,628
spaces.

413
00:25:25,628 --> 00:25:26,628
the actual bit that one was twice, more than twice of

414
00:25:26,628 --> 00:25:27,628
what the asking price was.

415
00:25:27,628 --> 00:25:28,628
we did not win it.

416
00:25:28,628 --> 00:25:30,628
secondly I want to let you know that may 11 was bike to

417
00:25:30,628 --> 00:25:31,628
work day, and we can pass at around.

418
00:25:31,628 --> 00:25:36,428
this is a photo of the participating employees,

419
00:25:39,628 --> 00:25:40,628
stephanie shaw usually participates and I missed her

420
00:25:40,628 --> 00:25:44,228
this year I don't know why.

421
00:25:50,628 --> 00:25:51,628
I wanted to highlight the affordable housing week

422
00:25:51,628 --> 00:25:52,628
events, the housing authority was a sponsor the event we

423
00:25:52,628 --> 00:25:55,628
also participated in other events.

424
00:25:55,628 --> 00:25:56,628
we had the breakfast, we shorter faces of affordable

425
00:25:56,628 --> 00:25:59,568
housing video and I was on the panel that afternoon

426
00:25:59,568 --> 00:26:04,368
regarding measure a with supervisor chavez and wayne.

427
00:26:06,568 --> 00:26:12,568
we also attended at one of our senior facilities, there

428
00:26:13,568 --> 00:26:19,568
was a health trust presentation with life steps on the

429
00:26:24,568 --> 00:26:25,568
food security issues.

430
00:26:25,568 --> 00:26:26,568
if you can pass it around, this is a handout.

431
00:26:26,568 --> 00:26:30,768
specifically, would senior population trying to resolve

432
00:26:34,568 --> 00:26:35,568
food insecurities and life steps has been working with

433
00:26:35,568 --> 00:26:36,568
health trust under some pilot projects to organize the

434
00:26:36,568 --> 00:26:38,568
seniors, our residents to go and become kind of a second

435
00:26:38,568 --> 00:26:40,568
harvest food bank center.

436
00:26:40,568 --> 00:26:42,968
it's been very successful.

437
00:27:00,508 --> 00:27:01,508
I was on a panel with sandy perry on federal funding

438
00:27:01,508 --> 00:27:02,508
cuts choose a night, and then we also attended an event

439
00:27:02,508 --> 00:27:03,508
with west valley community services.

440
00:27:03,508 --> 00:27:04,508
one of our staff attended that amount unfortunately it

441
00:27:04,508 --> 00:27:06,508
was a rumor circulating that people, batches are going

442
00:27:06,508 --> 00:27:07,508
to be available.

443
00:27:07,508 --> 00:27:13,508
our staff member had to answer 100 people and say no,

444
00:27:16,508 --> 00:27:17,508
I'm sorry you receive some bad information.

445
00:27:17,508 --> 00:27:18,508
that one was not so good.

446
00:27:18,508 --> 00:27:19,508
finally we had a movie night and we show time out of

447
00:27:19,508 --> 00:27:24,508
mind which is a story a street homelessness in new york

448
00:27:24,508 --> 00:27:25,508
city.

449
00:27:25,508 --> 00:27:29,108
it was a really moving story.

450
00:27:32,508 --> 00:27:33,508
I think that concludes our week events that we as an

451
00:27:33,508 --> 00:27:37,508
agency participated in and then I wanted to echo the

452
00:27:37,508 --> 00:27:38,508
thanks to the commissioner for helping me and organizing

453
00:27:38,508 --> 00:27:42,708
our newspaper coverage of our 50th anniversary.

454
00:27:49,508 --> 00:27:50,508
>> it was really a wonderful week.

455
00:27:50,508 --> 00:27:52,508
I really thank all of you who attended those events.

456
00:27:52,508 --> 00:27:55,508
the breakfast was really well attended and I really

457
00:27:55,508 --> 00:27:57,908
enjoyed the whole event.

458
00:28:04,508 --> 00:28:05,508
okay, we have a verbal report from the county of santa

459
00:28:05,508 --> 00:28:06,508
clara.

460
00:28:06,508 --> 00:28:08,508
mr. Kitty.

461
00:28:09,508 --> 00:28:10,508
>> good morning.

462
00:28:10,508 --> 00:28:11,508
over the last few months the county of santa clara has

463
00:28:11,508 --> 00:28:16,908
been working with the housing authority to begin to

464
00:28:18,508 --> 00:28:19,508
implement measure eight which is really setting the

465
00:28:19,508 --> 00:28:24,908
stage for how we achieve the counting's housing parties

466
00:28:27,508 --> 00:28:28,508
and the club goals that we all as a community have

467
00:28:28,508 --> 00:28:30,508
adopted.

468
00:28:31,508 --> 00:28:35,708
surely there's some technical pieces which conclude,

469
00:28:40,508 --> 00:28:41,508
what are kind of the guidelines for our investments what

470
00:28:41,508 --> 00:28:44,508
is the minimum number of supporting housing units for

471
00:28:44,508 --> 00:28:45,508
development etc.

472
00:28:45,508 --> 00:28:49,508
pick another piece that is often overlooked is this

473
00:28:49,508 --> 00:28:53,708
development of a share set of goals.

474
00:29:03,448 --> 00:29:04,448
when all the jurisdictions endorse a plan, there was a

475
00:29:04,448 --> 00:29:05,448
goal of creating 6000 housing opportunities and among

476
00:29:05,448 --> 00:29:10,448
those there was a goal of new development a total number

477
00:29:10,448 --> 00:29:12,448
of new units.

478
00:29:18,448 --> 00:29:19,448
with the passage of measure a, we have begun to revise

479
00:29:19,448 --> 00:29:23,448
our production targets and one of those key targets is

480
00:29:23,448 --> 00:29:28,848
to the creation of between 1800-2000 units of permanent

481
00:29:34,448 --> 00:29:35,448
supportive housing for homeless persons with disabling

482
00:29:35,448 --> 00:29:39,448
conditions and other persons who are at risk of homeless

483
00:29:39,448 --> 00:29:41,848
and who are disabled.

484
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:48,248
even before the proposed budget from the trump

485
00:29:49,448 --> 00:29:53,448
administration, we all face a lot of uncertainty.

486
00:29:53,448 --> 00:29:57,648
uncertainty from budget cuts, tax credit pricing,

487
00:29:59,388 --> 00:30:05,388
availability of impact fees a bell ability of land so

488
00:30:12,388 --> 00:30:13,388
even though we set these goals we have to work towards

489
00:30:13,388 --> 00:30:14,388
him and it takes a lot of effort.

490
00:30:14,388 --> 00:30:18,388
now, now that we have measure a this extreme partnership

491
00:30:18,388 --> 00:30:24,388
with the housing authority and the city path --san jose,

492
00:30:26,388 --> 00:30:27,388
now is our one opportunity to achieve those goals and I

493
00:30:27,388 --> 00:30:29,388
think that we all have to try to adopt and endorse those

494
00:30:29,388 --> 00:30:35,988
goals and then try to manage the resources that we have

495
00:30:41,388 --> 00:30:42,388
now and try, if necessary, get back in the future in

496
00:30:42,388 --> 00:30:45,388
order to meet those goals.

497
00:30:49,388 --> 00:30:50,388
we are thinking about 1900 units of permanent supporting

498
00:30:50,388 --> 00:30:51,388
housing.

499
00:30:51,388 --> 00:30:56,388
but more broadly, we think that there will be 4800 units

500
00:30:56,388 --> 00:31:01,188
of housing affordable to extremely low housing and

501
00:31:02,328 --> 00:31:03,328
persons and we think that over the next 10 years, we

502
00:31:03,328 --> 00:31:08,128
will have to finance or construct 120, hundred 40 new

503
00:31:10,328 --> 00:31:12,328
developments.

504
00:31:15,328 --> 00:31:20,328
our goal is to finalize the goals and finalize the

505
00:31:20,328 --> 00:31:26,328
program guidelines by the end of june an issue a notice

506
00:31:26,328 --> 00:31:27,328
of fighting ability and have the first issuance of the

507
00:31:27,328 --> 00:31:31,328
pound in 2017, while we can make commitments of the bond

508
00:31:31,328 --> 00:31:35,328
funds prior to september 2017 the first ability to

509
00:31:35,328 --> 00:31:38,328
convey funds will be in the fall.

510
00:31:38,328 --> 00:31:43,328
I am happy to answer any specific questions you have

511
00:31:43,328 --> 00:31:47,328
about the bond implementation or maybe come back on

512
00:31:47,328 --> 00:31:52,128
another time, talk to individual board members about

513
00:31:55,328 --> 00:31:56,328
what we are doing with our program in conjunction to the

514
00:31:56,328 --> 00:31:58,328
housing authority.

515
00:32:00,268 --> 00:32:01,268
>> okay.

516
00:32:01,268 --> 00:32:06,668
how you formulate the 1900, is that also include the

517
00:32:07,268 --> 00:32:13,268
state of the budgets as we speak, as of today?

518
00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:18,268
the budget cuts, the federal budget cuts?

519
00:32:18,268 --> 00:32:24,268
>> the goals are based on the numbers we set forth

520
00:32:27,268 --> 00:32:28,268
initially in the committee plan adjusted for the

521
00:32:28,268 --> 00:32:30,268
additional funding that we have to measure a.

522
00:32:30,268 --> 00:32:35,680
the question is, do we have enough money?

523
00:32:40,268 --> 00:32:41,268
I'm not sure, do have enough money at the state and

524
00:32:41,268 --> 00:32:42,268
federal levels?

525
00:32:42,268 --> 00:32:44,268
not sure.

526
00:32:49,268 --> 00:32:50,268
but I think, we have to set the goal and move towards it

527
00:32:50,268 --> 00:32:51,268
versus tronic calculate how much money we have and then

528
00:32:51,268 --> 00:32:52,268
setting the goal.

529
00:32:52,268 --> 00:32:54,268
because, well--

530
00:32:58,268 --> 00:33:00,208
>> we understand the uncertainty.

531
00:33:00,208 --> 00:33:02,208
I would like to have it's possible and perhaps another

532
00:33:02,208 --> 00:33:07,208
meeting if you would be willing to take 30 minutes or so

533
00:33:07,208 --> 00:33:11,208
and actually agenda highs a little tutorial on what's

534
00:33:11,208 --> 00:33:13,208
going on.

535
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:18,208
you've covered a lot of ground and shame on me have not

536
00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:21,208
been doing my homework what's going on with the county

537
00:33:21,208 --> 00:33:24,208
but I would like to know more about the different moving

538
00:33:24,208 --> 00:33:29,800
parts your 1900 looks like, something about the bond

539
00:33:38,208 --> 00:33:39,208
issue and so on.

540
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:40,208
as context for us to be able to make informed decisions

541
00:33:40,208 --> 00:33:41,208
about what is it we want to do and can do to help you

542
00:33:41,208 --> 00:33:45,208
get, all of us could from here there.

543
00:33:45,208 --> 00:33:51,208
>> sure I'm happy to work with catherine and her staff.

544
00:33:57,208 --> 00:33:58,208
>> yes, that would be an opportunity for us to really

545
00:33:58,208 --> 00:33:59,148
put our arms around it because right now I not sure

546
00:33:59,148 --> 00:34:05,148
exactly how we arrived, how we get to that point.

547
00:34:11,148 --> 00:34:12,148
>> thank you.

548
00:34:12,148 --> 00:34:13,148
mdm.

549
00:34:13,148 --> 00:34:14,148
chair, I was wondering if we could move to the items for

550
00:34:14,148 --> 00:34:15,148
discussion b1 and b2 and postpone the house and

551
00:34:15,148 --> 00:34:19,148
department report because I know that we have one

552
00:34:19,148 --> 00:34:20,148
commissioner who has got to catch a flight at 11

553
00:34:20,148 --> 00:34:21,148
o'clock.

554
00:34:21,148 --> 00:34:23,148
>> okay.

555
00:34:30,148 --> 00:34:31,148
we are going to amend it and take items be one right now

556
00:34:31,148 --> 00:34:32,148
so we can make sure that we have a full contention of

557
00:34:32,148 --> 00:34:33,148
commissioners voting on this.

558
00:34:33,148 --> 00:34:35,148
I move approval.

559
00:34:39,148 --> 00:34:40,148
>> do we have a second?

560
00:34:40,148 --> 00:34:41,148
>> second.

561
00:34:41,148 --> 00:34:43,148
it's been moved and second any discussion on when a

562
00:34:43,148 --> 00:34:46,748
vista mobile home per park purchase?

563
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:04,880
we are talking about --it's page 41 in your packet a

564
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:05,880
goes through 113.

565
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,880
it's the entire purchase and sale agreement.

566
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,880
it was a lot of work on everyone's part including our

567
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:08,880
general counsel because our real estate council left the

568
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,880
country.

569
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,880
he got the fun part of finalizing the exhibits and on

570
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:17,880
the last nips and tax.

571
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:18,880
it was a lot of work.

572
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:19,880
>> commission anderson moved, drive a second?

573
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,880
commissioner o'neil.

574
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,880
we are not into discussion any questions?

575
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,880
>> just by way of comment we've heard a lot about this

576
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,880
already so I don't really need for any further

577
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,880
information myself.

578
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,880
I can go further and say that I think that this was a

579
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,880
very skillful piece of work very well executed those a

580
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:48,880
lotta dragon to slave from here to there to make this

581
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,880

582
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,880
the numbers right I'm not a number sky and this number

583
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,880
six we just fine.

584
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,880
I'm happy to make the motion and see the purchase go

585
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,880
forward.

586
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,280
>> okay.

587
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,280
anymore discussion?

588
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,280

>> I would like to say thank staffing catherine.

590

like we were never going to get there and so again,

592
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,280

593
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,280

person separate dissipated in this look pretty good.

596

city of palo alto, that's amazing.

597
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,280
>> it was a collective effort and the commissioner is an

598
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,280
amazing ally.

599
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:43,428
>> I also wanted to comment, during the week affordable

housing celebrating that with this purchase agreement

601
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,280
was amazing.

602
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,280
it was a timing, the location, everything.

603
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,280
I want to commend staff as well on this entire process.

604
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:58,968
it was not easy.

605
00:36:58,968 --> 00:37:01,968
>> this problem, the issue of when a beast a goes back

606
00:37:01,968 --> 00:37:05,968
so long ago and it's amazing to have, to be able to

607
00:37:05,968 --> 00:37:07,968
witness a solution.

608
00:37:13,968 --> 00:37:14,968
it's just amazing.

609
00:37:14,968 --> 00:37:15,968
I want to thank all of our allies and I want to thank

610
00:37:15,968 --> 00:37:20,768
supervisor for taking charge and releasing this through

611
00:37:21,968 --> 00:37:27,968
and really being a great ally for the housing authority.

612
00:37:29,968 --> 00:37:30,968
>> I'm not a religious man but I want to thank god that

613
00:37:30,968 --> 00:37:37,968
hud will give us a research for this to make up the

614
00:37:37,968 --> 00:37:38,968
difference between the city.

615
00:37:38,968 --> 00:37:45,568
>> we will need a roll call vote I believe on this.

616
00:37:59,968 --> 00:38:01,968
okay.

617
00:38:01,968 --> 00:38:07,968
we are now, on one, one for we will look at the except

618
00:38:07,968 --> 00:38:11,568
the report on the executive director.

619
00:38:14,968 --> 00:38:17,968
and improve recommendation for the hundred and 80 day

620
00:38:17,968 --> 00:38:19,968
expiration date.

621
00:38:19,968 --> 00:38:21,968
>> thank you.

622
00:38:23,968 --> 00:38:28,768
on page 5 the report on earth funding use.

623
00:38:30,968 --> 00:38:36,368
we are currently serving 94% of a prorated baseline and

624
00:38:36,968 --> 00:38:43,568
we are using let me turn the page, 96% of the funding

625
00:38:46,968 --> 00:38:50,568
that we currently receive from hot.

626
00:38:54,968 --> 00:38:55,968
we have 571 households with what we call a shopping

627
00:38:55,968 --> 00:38:57,968
voucher currently looking for housing and if we lease

628
00:38:57,968 --> 00:39:01,908
this up tomorrow we release-happen that's a little too

629
00:39:01,908 --> 00:39:04,908
close to comfort for us.

630
00:39:06,908 --> 00:39:07,908
and additional budget cuts which we do not know what the

631
00:39:07,908 --> 00:39:13,908
federal budget is going to land that we all are

632
00:39:13,908 --> 00:39:20,508
cognizant of the fact that we have a federal debt and

633
00:39:20,908 --> 00:39:21,908
interest payment on the tap that compete for the

634
00:39:21,908 --> 00:39:25,508
different budget priorities of this country.

635
00:39:26,908 --> 00:39:27,908
if you have a presidential agenda that wants to support

636
00:39:27,908 --> 00:39:30,908
defense expenditures that wants to support

637
00:39:30,908 --> 00:39:35,108
infrastructure expenditures we have seen the headlines

638
00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:39,908
that in 2018 the proposal is that we cut social service

639
00:39:39,908 --> 00:39:42,908
and the safety net dollars.

640
00:39:44,908 --> 00:39:47,908
one of the measures that we are recommending we did an

641
00:39:47,908 --> 00:39:53,308
analysis of the folks with the shopping voucher's and

642
00:39:58,848 --> 00:39:59,848
their people who had the voucher and have been looking

643
00:39:59,848 --> 00:40:00,848
for more than a year.

644
00:40:00,848 --> 00:40:01,848
burp folding it to full strategy number one that the

645
00:40:01,848 --> 00:40:03,848
board approve an agreement to provide housing search

646
00:40:03,848 --> 00:40:04,848
services for these folks who been looking for a very

647
00:40:04,848 --> 00:40:10,848
long time and that we also reinstitute the expiration of

648
00:40:16,848 --> 00:40:17,848
the voucher.

649
00:40:17,848 --> 00:40:18,848
in other words, every household cannot locate housing,

650
00:40:18,848 --> 00:40:19,848
we will take the voucher back and either give it to

651
00:40:19,848 --> 00:40:25,848
somebody else so we just take about your back because we

652
00:40:25,848 --> 00:40:26,848
don't have money to support that voucher.

653
00:40:26,848 --> 00:40:32,848
usually, when you have a radical coal cutting you can

654
00:40:32,848 --> 00:40:33,848
look at every shopping and pull that back.

655
00:40:33,848 --> 00:40:39,848
that's one of the first things that you would do.

656
00:40:40,848 --> 00:40:41,848
I don't know will have consensus in the federal level

657
00:40:41,848 --> 00:40:42,848
for extreme budget cut but this is just one of those

658
00:40:42,848 --> 00:40:48,848
things that we can put in place to get ready.

659
00:40:48,848 --> 00:40:49,848
what this measure does, it appointed disruptive cut down

660
00:40:49,848 --> 00:40:50,848
the line when the funds are cut just cutting off the

661
00:40:50,848 --> 00:40:52,848
voucher.

662
00:40:59,788 --> 00:41:00,788
instead, were proposing that we use our current

663
00:41:00,788 --> 00:41:01,788
resources to do what we can to help those find housing.

664
00:41:01,788 --> 00:41:07,788
our suspicion is that these folks have had their voucher

665
00:41:09,788 --> 00:41:10,788
for more than a year probably have some other barrier

666
00:41:10,788 --> 00:41:11,788
that is preventing them from being able to lease up were

667
00:41:11,788 --> 00:41:16,788
hoping that they'll be able to respond to that on two

668
00:41:16,788 --> 00:41:17,788
levels.

669
00:41:17,788 --> 00:41:18,788
number one, help them find housing because they been

670
00:41:18,788 --> 00:41:19,788
doing it and number two help to work through whatever

671
00:41:19,788 --> 00:41:25,188
barriers that may be preventing them from sealing the

672
00:41:26,788 --> 00:41:27,788
deal with the landlord.

673
00:41:27,788 --> 00:41:33,188
we are proposing, the standard hud limit is 60 days.

674
00:41:48,788 --> 00:41:49,788
where proposing 180 days.

675
00:41:49,788 --> 00:41:50,788
right now have no libido at all.

676
00:41:50,788 --> 00:41:51,788
every 60 days a household be required to check in on the

677
00:41:51,788 --> 00:41:52,788
housing search efforts which is a required to do now to

678
00:41:52,788 --> 00:41:53,788
keep their voucher, but after hundred 80 days their

679
00:41:53,788 --> 00:41:54,788
voucher would expire unless they have a reasonable

680
00:41:54,788 --> 00:41:55,788
accommodation request or some kind of mitigating

681
00:41:55,788 --> 00:41:57,788
circumstance.

682
00:41:58,728 --> 00:42:04,128
the proposed admin plan change is attached on pages

683
00:42:05,728 --> 00:42:07,728
118-122.

684
00:42:20,728 --> 00:42:21,728
if you have any questions, we have a policy staff here

685
00:42:21,728 --> 00:42:22,728
but we will try to answer them.

686
00:42:22,728 --> 00:42:23,728
>> can you comment on affordability?

687
00:42:23,728 --> 00:42:24,728
>> yes.

688
00:42:24,728 --> 00:42:25,728
it is possible if somebody has a housing voucher and

689
00:42:25,728 --> 00:42:26,728
they been searching for a very long time that they can

690
00:42:26,728 --> 00:42:32,728
use the voucher and poured out of the county and

691
00:42:33,728 --> 00:42:34,728
contract with another house already for housing

692
00:42:34,728 --> 00:42:35,728
resources may be more available.

693
00:42:35,728 --> 00:42:36,728
if the voucher is being issued to someone on the

694
00:42:36,728 --> 00:42:38,728
waitlist who is currently out of county, there's a

695
00:42:38,728 --> 00:42:41,728
requirement that they find an apartment in santa clara

696
00:42:41,728 --> 00:42:45,328
and live here for one year?

697
00:42:50,728 --> 00:42:51,728
yes, when year so that would be a portability

698
00:42:51,728 --> 00:42:52,728
restriction for those families but what we are focused

699
00:42:52,728 --> 00:42:56,728
on is a folks have been looking for a year.

700
00:42:56,728 --> 00:42:57,728
>> okay.

701
00:42:57,728 --> 00:42:58,668
any discussion?

702
00:42:58,668 --> 00:42:59,668
do we have a motion?

703
00:42:59,668 --> 00:43:01,668
sure.

704
00:43:05,668 --> 00:43:06,668
>> the number was in here, what was percent of the

705
00:43:06,668 --> 00:43:09,668
people who are looking that have been had a voucher for

706
00:43:09,668 --> 00:43:12,680
more than a year.

707
00:43:15,668 --> 00:43:19,868
janine would you like to come up?

708
00:43:23,668 --> 00:43:29,668
>> I think it's on page 116 is on page 11750 that are

709
00:43:36,668 --> 00:43:38,668
more than six months old.

710
00:43:38,668 --> 00:43:45,868
and I think of that amount about 50 or more are a year

711
00:43:50,668 --> 00:43:51,668
old.

712
00:43:51,668 --> 00:43:52,668
lesson 50.

713
00:43:52,668 --> 00:43:53,668
>> and I recall the first at this we had quite a few

714
00:43:53,668 --> 00:43:55,668
people from the community talking to us with a problem

715
00:43:55,668 --> 00:44:01,668
when there are landlords willing to rent and we should

716
00:44:02,608 --> 00:44:03,608
be taken the voucher away.

717
00:44:03,608 --> 00:44:08,608
we had to three meetings where that was an issue.

718
00:44:08,608 --> 00:44:12,608
and then we came to this proposal that we have now.

719
00:44:12,608 --> 00:44:13,608
I'm not sure, are we going to go back to people coming

720
00:44:13,608 --> 00:44:15,608
in.

721
00:44:24,608 --> 00:44:25,608
people that cannot find a place?

722
00:44:25,608 --> 00:44:26,608
>> that's a good question but a few things have changed.

723
00:44:26,608 --> 00:44:28,608
our payment standard is increase over competitive.

724
00:44:28,608 --> 00:44:29,608
our rental market is softening a little but it is

725
00:44:29,608 --> 00:44:30,608
softening.

726
00:44:30,608 --> 00:44:36,608
the county and I think the county adopted an ordinance

727
00:44:37,608 --> 00:44:43,800
against discrimination on source of income and I think

728
00:44:46,608 --> 00:44:47,608
other cities and other communities are looking to also

729
00:44:47,608 --> 00:44:48,608
reinforce that and then we also have the issue of just

730
00:44:48,608 --> 00:44:52,608
cause evictions now being local ordinances that will

731
00:44:52,608 --> 00:44:53,608
support the retention voucher.

732
00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:56,608
we've had some change, I cannot tell you that people,

733
00:44:56,608 --> 00:45:03,808
complain but there is a point if we don't have money, we

734
00:45:05,548 --> 00:45:06,548
do not have money.

735
00:45:06,548 --> 00:45:07,548
if people are not using these funds there may be

736
00:45:07,548 --> 00:45:11,148
somebody waiting in line who can.

737
00:45:12,548 --> 00:45:13,548
>> the way I understand it if somebody was at the six

738
00:45:13,548 --> 00:45:14,548
month.

739
00:45:14,548 --> 00:45:17,548
then what they be assigned to help them with this help

740
00:45:17,548 --> 00:45:21,748
them before they had their six months?

741
00:45:28,548 --> 00:45:29,548
>> the idea is for those people who already have about

742
00:45:29,548 --> 00:45:30,548
your more than six months, they will get another 60 day

743
00:45:30,548 --> 00:45:34,548
extension and we wouldn't just cut them off because they

744
00:45:34,548 --> 00:45:35,548
had the six months.

745
00:45:35,548 --> 00:45:37,548
during that time that will work to try to get help and

746
00:45:37,548 --> 00:45:39,548
find a house.

747
00:45:41,548 --> 00:45:45,548
moving forward, if the board adopts is, the bad men plan

748
00:45:45,548 --> 00:45:51,548
moving forward any new vouchers issued would have a six

749
00:45:52,548 --> 00:45:53,548
month maximum.

750
00:45:53,548 --> 00:45:54,548
>> nobody would just have their voucher pulled out

751
00:45:54,548 --> 00:46:00,548
getting notice or opportunity to work to find a place

752
00:46:04,488 --> 00:46:05,488
and work with some of our stuff?

753
00:46:05,488 --> 00:46:06,488
>> that is correct.

754
00:46:06,488 --> 00:46:07,488
>> commissioner, I'm good have to leave but I in support

755
00:46:07,488 --> 00:46:10,488
of trying this I would like us to understand after we

756
00:46:10,488 --> 00:46:11,488
implemented.

757
00:46:11,488 --> 00:46:17,488
shall we approve it after about six months to understand

758
00:46:19,488 --> 00:46:20,488
this is disproportionately affecting special needs

759
00:46:20,488 --> 00:46:21,488
population?

760
00:46:21,488 --> 00:46:26,488
I would like to know what these barriers are we should

761
00:46:26,488 --> 00:46:32,488
know for example if it's people that have severe mental

762
00:46:40,488 --> 00:46:41,488
illness that that makes using this voucher.

763
00:46:41,488 --> 00:46:42,488
I think it would be worth monitoring and reporting back.

764
00:46:42,488 --> 00:46:43,488
I do not know when you're going to vote but I don't know

765
00:46:43,488 --> 00:46:47,880
I can say yes right now.

766
00:46:48,488 --> 00:46:49,488
>> it may make a comment.

767
00:46:49,488 --> 00:46:51,888
go ahead commissioner anderson.

768
00:46:54,488 --> 00:46:57,488
>> I just wanted to say what jennifer just said and even

769
00:46:57,488 --> 00:47:03,488
further and say wanting to get feedback as to how

770
00:47:06,428 --> 00:47:12,428
effective you going to pay that amount to have folks

771
00:47:14,428 --> 00:47:15,428
assisted.

772
00:47:15,428 --> 00:47:17,428
we want to know is that rules along whether or not it's

773
00:47:17,428 --> 00:47:19,428
working or not.

774
00:47:22,428 --> 00:47:23,428
how much bank are we getting for our buck.

775
00:47:23,428 --> 00:47:27,428
having said that they asked some good questions to me

776
00:47:27,428 --> 00:47:34,428
and that is that a, there's a good reason to do it.

777
00:47:34,428 --> 00:47:35,428
we got a limited resource and there's always folks who

778
00:47:35,428 --> 00:47:38,428
are fine for the resource.

779
00:47:39,428 --> 00:47:44,428
how long is long enough to have no limit seems to me

780
00:47:44,428 --> 00:47:45,428
does not make any sense at all given the changes in the

781
00:47:45,428 --> 00:47:50,428
marketplace and going hundred 10% of the numbers and all

782
00:47:50,428 --> 00:47:52,428
that.

783
00:47:52,428 --> 00:47:58,428
it feels to me that this is another skillful effort to

784
00:47:58,428 --> 00:48:00,428
look at a hard question and come up with something that

785
00:48:00,428 --> 00:48:02,428
makes sense.

786
00:48:05,428 --> 00:48:06,428
it could be difficult for some people but then at the

787
00:48:06,428 --> 00:48:11,428
same time off from a hand in finding a place to stay.

788
00:48:11,428 --> 00:48:17,428
and then some metrics as we look over the shoulder.

789
00:48:17,428 --> 00:48:21,280
I move that we go along.

790
00:48:30,428 --> 00:48:31,428
>> you move approval?

791
00:48:31,428 --> 00:48:32,428
do we have a second?

792
00:48:32,428 --> 00:48:33,428
>> we will still continue the discussion.

793
00:48:33,428 --> 00:48:35,828
okay, commissioner o'neill seconds.

794
00:48:36,428 --> 00:48:37,428
commissioner gardner?

795
00:48:37,428 --> 00:48:38,428
>> I just wanted to comment and bring forth the idea I

796
00:48:38,428 --> 00:48:43,428
guess the question is are a landlord incentives can they

797
00:48:43,428 --> 00:48:47,628
be applied to the hundred and 50 recipients?

798
00:48:51,428 --> 00:48:52,428
>> our landlord incentive is if the landlord leases from

799
00:48:52,428 --> 00:48:57,228
one section to another section tenant, were encouraging

800
00:48:59,368 --> 00:49:00,368
aren't senate tip is to encourage ongoing leasing to

801
00:49:00,368 --> 00:49:03,968
section 8 that's the way it works.

802
00:49:13,368 --> 00:49:14,368
I think we start going into other kinds of landlord

803
00:49:14,368 --> 00:49:15,368
incentives to make connor other consequences which we

804
00:49:15,368 --> 00:49:16,368
heard a lot about this morning.

805
00:49:16,368 --> 00:49:20,368
I would be cautious to start throwing those out there.

806
00:49:20,368 --> 00:49:21,368
the thing about this, they been working in the community

807
00:49:21,368 --> 00:49:26,768
on some county projects to serve very difficult, special

808
00:49:28,368 --> 00:49:29,368
need population will have a little difficulty

809
00:49:29,368 --> 00:49:31,368
navigating.

810
00:49:31,368 --> 00:49:35,368
I think that they have contacts are landlords they

811
00:49:35,368 --> 00:49:41,368
specialize in the mom-and-pop and I hopeful if there is

812
00:49:41,368 --> 00:49:44,368
a path forward for these folks that this is the

813
00:49:44,368 --> 00:49:48,368
organization that can help them get there.

814
00:49:48,368 --> 00:49:52,368
>> the conclusion to that would be, it would be

815
00:49:52,368 --> 00:49:56,568
interesting and helpful to understand that relationship

816
00:50:02,308 --> 00:50:03,308
between the search in the landlord and possibly getting

817
00:50:03,308 --> 00:50:06,308
some idea of what that difficulty was in the permanent

818
00:50:06,308 --> 00:50:11,708
housing, between the shopper and finding that right fit

819
00:50:15,308 --> 00:50:16,308
for the landlord.

820
00:50:16,308 --> 00:50:21,308
>> when we bring the report back in six months perhaps

821
00:50:21,308 --> 00:50:22,308
we can have them come to the meeting and describe what

822
00:50:22,308 --> 00:50:24,308
they seem.

823
00:50:25,308 --> 00:50:28,308
>> I have one other question.

824
00:50:40,308 --> 00:50:41,308
are all the people with vouchers now shopping, not just

825
00:50:41,308 --> 00:50:42,308
want to have had them for a year or even six months but

826
00:50:42,308 --> 00:50:43,308
are all the people who have certificates now regardless

827
00:50:43,308 --> 00:50:44,308
of the time that the panel are they going to be able to

828
00:50:44,308 --> 00:50:46,308
access this?

829
00:50:49,308 --> 00:50:56,508
>> the way we have a currently is that we are going to

830
00:50:57,308 --> 00:50:58,248
have them focus on the people who have their voucher for

831
00:50:58,248 --> 00:50:59,248
six months or longer.

832
00:50:59,248 --> 00:51:04,248
and then moving forward anybody who gets their voucher,

833
00:51:04,248 --> 00:51:05,248
once it hit that hundred and 20 day mark they have 60

834
00:51:05,248 --> 00:51:11,248
days ago and that 60 days to be concentrated with this

835
00:51:14,248 --> 00:51:15,248
access.

836
00:51:15,248 --> 00:51:16,248
>> one thing that you bear in mind the summer is a big

837
00:51:16,248 --> 00:51:18,248
moving month.

838
00:51:21,248 --> 00:51:22,248
there's a lot of activity in the summer months and there

839
00:51:22,248 --> 00:51:23,248
will be a lot of families would shopping vouchers were

840
00:51:23,248 --> 00:51:26,248
going to be moving because that's what they do.

841
00:51:26,248 --> 00:51:27,248
we are targeting those that have had their voucher for a

842
00:51:27,248 --> 00:51:29,248
very long time.

843
00:51:32,248 --> 00:51:33,248
>> all right, it's been with second and we ready for the

844
00:51:33,248 --> 00:51:38,648
question, all in favor first of all it's two-part.

845
00:51:39,248 --> 00:51:44,480
reinstate the hundred 80 expiration date as well as

846
00:51:46,248 --> 00:51:47,248
delegate authority to our executive director to contract

847
00:51:47,248 --> 00:51:50,248
with a not to exceed $650,000.

848
00:51:53,248 --> 00:51:57,248
that's the two-part motion all in favor say I?

849
00:51:57,248 --> 00:51:59,248
that passes.

850
00:52:01,188 --> 00:52:05,388
now let me just ask you this.

851
00:52:07,188 --> 00:52:08,188
we have a time certain at 11.

852
00:52:08,188 --> 00:52:15,388
I was wondering if we can, we have a time certain at 11.

853
00:52:16,188 --> 00:52:17,188
were going to take a five-minute break and that will

854
00:52:17,188 --> 00:52:23,188
take up the consent calendar and after that the video

855
00:52:23,188 --> 00:52:24,188
before 11?

856
00:52:24,188 --> 00:52:26,188
okay, can we do the video?

857
00:52:26,188 --> 00:52:29,188
>> you have three other things on your business

858
00:52:29,188 --> 00:52:30,188
calendar.

859
00:52:30,188 --> 00:52:32,188
>> I know.

860
00:52:32,188 --> 00:52:34,188
>> we can do the video any time.

861
00:52:34,188 --> 00:52:38,988
>> can we do the video-- I guess after.

862
00:52:46,188 --> 00:52:47,188
>> that is three business items shouldn't take too long.

863
00:52:47,188 --> 00:52:50,188
if you want to finish the condor.

864
00:52:50,188 --> 00:52:51,188
>> then we can do the other three quickly and then the

865
00:52:51,188 --> 00:52:53,188
video?

866
00:52:57,188 --> 00:52:58,128
you think we can do it till 11 o'clock?

867
00:52:58,128 --> 00:53:03,528
>> the thing about a time certain you cannot stop

868
00:53:05,128 --> 00:53:06,128
earlier but you have to start 11.

869
00:53:06,128 --> 00:53:07,128
it we starting 11:10 that would be okay.

870
00:53:07,128 --> 00:53:11,328
>> were going to have a five-minute break.

871
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,121
okay.

872
00:53:16,121 --> 00:53:17,121
we will call the meeting back to order and will take up

873
00:53:17,121 --> 00:53:19,121
the consent calendar.

874
00:53:19,121 --> 00:53:24,521
any questions on the consent calendar so we can

875
00:53:26,121 --> 00:53:27,121
entertain a motion.

876
00:53:27,121 --> 00:53:30,121
>> we can take two minutes we have amanda gallo one of

877
00:53:30,121 --> 00:53:34,121
our policy and less and she wanted to highlight the

878
00:53:34,121 --> 00:53:36,521
baseline and funding utilization.

879
00:53:42,121 --> 00:53:43,121
>> good morning board.

880
00:53:43,121 --> 00:53:44,121
>> what page, what item?

881
00:53:44,121 --> 00:53:46,121
>> it starts on page 5.

882
00:53:46,121 --> 00:53:47,121
good morning.

883
00:53:47,121 --> 00:53:53,121
I amanda gallo I'm a senior analyst and you might

884
00:53:55,610 --> 00:53:56,610
recognize my name I'm usually the one that submits a

885
00:53:56,610 --> 00:53:59,610
housing department reports each month.

886
00:54:10,610 --> 00:54:11,610
we made a few changes based on what we found out from

887
00:54:11,610 --> 00:54:14,610
the hot proration of our yearly budget.

888
00:54:14,610 --> 00:54:20,661
under and tw agreement had the term is what we are

889
00:54:21,610 --> 00:54:25,610
provided yearly for funding and this amount is reduced

890
00:54:25,610 --> 00:54:29,261
or prorated based on congressional each year.

891
00:54:31,610 --> 00:54:35,610
four 2017, were projecting to be probated at 94% of

892
00:54:35,610 --> 00:54:37,610
funding.

893
00:54:38,610 --> 00:54:44,610
if we look at her baseline including the project base

894
00:54:45,610 --> 00:54:48,610
bouncer project at full funding is 16,671.

895
00:54:48,610 --> 00:54:53,461
they we take 94% of this baseline, we will have 15,670.

896
00:54:57,100 --> 00:55:02,100
we wanted to do this to get a realistic picture of what

897
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:07,401
our actual lease rate is based on the proration.

898
00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:11,100
it will use a prorated baseline our lease separate

899
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:14,100
including project base vouchers is 91%.

900
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:19,100
also, wanted to highlight --bam I'm sorry.

901
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:22,100
I was trying to do the math.

902
00:55:22,100 --> 00:55:27,401
the numbers you gave us-- I seem different numbers.

903
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:42,100
>> usually we try to put in our special program report.

904
00:55:42,100 --> 00:55:43,100
you will notice the numbers are little lower in the

905
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:47,100
first section but to give an overall I guess a view of

906
00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:48,100
what the housing choice voucher is we wanted to at the

907
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:50,100
project base voucher.

908
00:55:51,941 --> 00:55:54,941
it just goes up if you remove the hundred and 30, the

909
00:55:54,941 --> 00:55:59,741
project base vouchers are prorated lease separate is

910
00:56:05,941 --> 00:56:06,941
90%.

911
00:56:06,941 --> 00:56:07,941
if you add them in a goes up to 91%.

912
00:56:07,941 --> 00:56:09,941
>> thank you.

913
00:56:11,941 --> 00:56:17,941
we also wanted to highlight, we are at 96%, using 96% of

914
00:56:17,941 --> 00:56:23,341
our monthly hat funding, it release up to 571 shopping

915
00:56:23,941 --> 00:56:26,941
vouchers will be at 100% of the funding.

916
00:56:26,941 --> 00:56:32,941
this is something to be aware of in the upcoming month.

917
00:56:32,941 --> 00:56:35,941
this, just in case of a kos agency has some curb.

918
00:56:35,941 --> 00:56:37,941
any questions?

919
00:56:38,941 --> 00:56:39,941
>> no.

920
00:56:39,941 --> 00:56:41,941
thank you.

921
00:56:42,941 --> 00:56:50,141
we look at this on the review but I didn't say anything

922
00:56:57,881 --> 00:56:58,881
and I did leave the room confused but now I get it.

923
00:56:58,881 --> 00:56:59,881
>> one of the reasons why this is important, one of our

924
00:56:59,881 --> 00:57:00,881
requirements as a moving to work agency's that were

925
00:57:00,881 --> 00:57:06,281
required under the law the federal law, to serve

926
00:57:09,881 --> 00:57:10,881
substantially the same number families as we would if we

927
00:57:10,881 --> 00:57:11,881
did not have a single fund flexibility.

928
00:57:11,881 --> 00:57:12,881
the single fun flexibility allows us to make up for some

929
00:57:12,881 --> 00:57:16,881
of the deficits that comes to us as a result of the very

930
00:57:16,881 --> 00:57:21,810
low proration on the administrative fee side.

931
00:57:31,881 --> 00:57:32,881
what amanda didn't highlight is that while congress may

932
00:57:32,881 --> 00:57:33,881
appropriate 94% on the rental side, they're only

933
00:57:33,881 --> 00:57:34,881
appropriating 77% on the admin fee side.

934
00:57:34,881 --> 00:57:35,881
and then you only are entitled to those funds once the

935
00:57:35,881 --> 00:57:37,881
household is lease.

936
00:57:37,881 --> 00:57:43,281
there is a lot of work to be done.

937
00:57:43,881 --> 00:57:44,881
in the last motion we approve expenditure of funds to

938
00:57:44,881 --> 00:57:47,881
help family search for housing.

939
00:57:50,881 --> 00:57:51,881
that is something that we pull out a rental funds in

940
00:57:51,881 --> 00:57:52,881
order make that happen.

941
00:57:52,881 --> 00:57:58,881
we will be highlighting this more and we talked about

942
00:57:59,881 --> 00:58:00,881
the possibility of sketching-I've been scheduling a

943
00:58:00,881 --> 00:58:01,881
special meeting and we'll talk about this more at that

944
00:58:01,881 --> 00:58:03,881
time.

945
00:58:04,881 --> 00:58:05,881
the second thing I want to highlight is what were

946
00:58:05,881 --> 00:58:10,810
operating under a 94% proration the appropriation for

947
00:58:10,881 --> 00:58:15,881
2017 was finally made hud is currently paying us under

948
00:58:15,881 --> 00:58:19,881
that 94% proration but based on the budget that was

949
00:58:19,881 --> 00:58:22,881
approved for 2017 we do not have by final numbers we

950
00:58:22,881 --> 00:58:29,881
think it may inch up a pointed to seward waiting to get

951
00:58:29,881 --> 00:58:30,881
those numbers in.

952
00:58:30,881 --> 00:58:34,481
we will not even talk about 2018.

953
00:58:38,881 --> 00:58:39,881
>> okay, do have it any other questions regarding the

954
00:58:39,881 --> 00:58:43,481
consent and the house and report?

955
00:58:44,881 --> 00:58:45,881
>> I like this report we asked for more information a

956
00:58:45,881 --> 00:58:48,881
long time ago when you expand the report and because the

957
00:58:48,881 --> 00:58:54,881
math is something a little complicated if you're not top

958
00:58:58,821 --> 00:58:59,821
of it it but you give us enough information so we do our

959
00:58:59,821 --> 00:59:00,821
homework we can read this memo and forget was going on

960
00:59:00,821 --> 00:59:02,821
and were following it month-to-month for getting in a

961
00:59:02,821 --> 00:59:07,821
real time you get some good graphics and here.

962
00:59:07,821 --> 00:59:13,221
this is your product primarily good on you amanda.

963
00:59:16,821 --> 00:59:21,821
>> I did have a question as far as the page 7.

964
00:59:21,821 --> 00:59:26,210
are we going to want to that.

965
00:59:28,821 --> 00:59:29,821
>> we normally don't discuss this report in detail but

966
00:59:29,821 --> 00:59:31,821
it a question?

967
00:59:37,821 --> 00:59:38,821
>> on april and reading this, is that as of april or

968
00:59:38,821 --> 00:59:39,821
actually in the month of april.

969
00:59:39,821 --> 00:59:43,421
>> during the month of april, yes.

970
00:59:46,821 --> 00:59:47,821
>> I wanted to commend the finance reports as well.

971
00:59:47,821 --> 00:59:53,761
it was a really thorough description of where we are and

972
00:59:53,761 --> 00:59:59,761
I know the future we may not have these wonderful

973
01:00:01,761 --> 01:00:02,761
figures but I commend you.

974
01:00:02,761 --> 01:00:03,761
I think the figures are great and looks like we are in a

975
01:00:03,761 --> 01:00:04,761
solid financial, good financial ground here.

976
01:00:04,761 --> 01:00:06,761
thank you.

977
01:00:10,761 --> 01:00:16,161
and thank the staff also for pulling that together.

978
01:00:16,761 --> 01:00:17,761
okay.

979
01:00:17,761 --> 01:00:18,761
I will entertain a motion for the consent calendar?

980
01:00:18,761 --> 01:00:24,161
okay, we move approval do we have a second?

981
01:00:27,761 --> 01:00:28,761
commissioner anderson seconds all in favor of approving

982
01:00:28,761 --> 01:00:31,761
the consent calendar say I?

983
01:00:33,761 --> 01:00:34,761
it passes.

984
01:00:34,761 --> 01:00:39,561
we will move on to items be three.

985
01:00:41,761 --> 01:00:43,761
starting on page 123.

986
01:00:44,761 --> 01:00:46,761
the bylaws.

987
01:00:48,761 --> 01:00:50,761
>> good morning.

988
01:00:53,701 --> 01:00:59,701
this is a result of previous direction by the board,

989
01:01:01,701 --> 01:01:07,701
first item will be asking is to adopt a resolution 17

990
01:01:08,701 --> 01:01:09,701
07 which would amend and restate the bylaws.

991
01:01:09,701 --> 01:01:11,701
it's a complete restatement.

992
01:01:11,701 --> 01:01:18,301
the changes to the bylaws are set forth on page 124 the

993
01:01:18,701 --> 01:01:21,701
principal reason for bringing at this time was at the

994
01:01:21,701 --> 01:01:25,701
board's direction, we were told that we were renaming

995
01:01:25,701 --> 01:01:32,901
the agency and the name of the agency is in the bylaws.

996
01:01:33,701 --> 01:01:37,701
the first and foremost changes to santa clara county

997
01:01:37,701 --> 01:01:41,301
housing authority that change becomes effective

998
01:01:52,641 --> 01:01:53,641
immediately upon your vote.

999
01:01:53,641 --> 01:01:54,641
all documents brought forth from that time will now be

1000
01:01:54,641 --> 01:01:55,641
in the name of the new agency and then other changes

1001
01:01:55,641 --> 01:01:57,641
that need to be made with the name change will be rolled

1002
01:01:57,641 --> 01:01:58,641
out accordingly with the various outside parties over

1003
01:01:58,641 --> 01:02:01,410
the next several months.

1004
01:02:04,641 --> 01:02:10,641
in terms, there's a couple of changes to the agenda.

1005
01:02:16,641 --> 01:02:17,641
the names of the agenda and some the structure on the

1006
01:02:17,641 --> 01:02:18,641
agenda at the other kind of significant change for the

1007
01:02:18,641 --> 01:02:19,641
way you do business, you no longer will need to do a

1008
01:02:19,641 --> 01:02:25,410
rollcall vote unless it's at the chairs discretion if

1009
01:02:33,641 --> 01:02:34,641
the chair would like a rollcall vote or if you try a

1010
01:02:34,641 --> 01:02:35,641
voice vote and it appears that there is some no votes

1011
01:02:35,641 --> 01:02:36,641
and you want to make sure you want to know what the

1012
01:02:36,641 --> 01:02:37,641
count of the vote is then you can say, let's do this as

1013
01:02:37,641 --> 01:02:38,641
a rollcall vote.

1014
01:02:38,641 --> 01:02:40,641
once you do this, you won't do a rollcall vote to adopt

1015
01:02:40,641 --> 01:02:42,641
a resolution.

1016
01:02:44,641 --> 01:02:49,441
that will make a little bit more streamlining.

1017
01:03:00,581 --> 01:03:01,581
the next resolution is amending your previous yearly

1018
01:03:01,581 --> 01:03:02,581
resolution that sets the schedule of meetings that

1019
01:03:02,581 --> 01:03:03,581
resolution set all the meetings on tuesdays which been

1020
01:03:03,581 --> 01:03:08,581
the tradition for a very long time here but, you have

1021
01:03:08,581 --> 01:03:09,581
previously directed that we should look at go forward

1022
01:03:09,581 --> 01:03:11,581
with moving it to thursdays.

1023
01:03:11,581 --> 01:03:13,581
this'll formalize that in the new dates are in the

1024
01:03:13,581 --> 01:03:15,581
resolution.

1025
01:03:27,581 --> 01:03:28,581
the fourth thursday of every month beginning august.

1026
01:03:28,581 --> 01:03:29,581
>> we will work, we gave you a calendar last year and I

1027

>> great.

1031

that is very useful.

1032
01:03:42,581 --> 01:03:44,581
thank you.

1033
01:04:00,521 --> 01:04:01,521
>> the final actual rescue to take his adoption of the

1034
01:04:01,521 --> 01:04:02,521
resolution which adopts a public record access policy

1035
01:04:02,521 --> 01:04:03,521
for the board itself.

1036
01:04:03,521 --> 01:04:04,521
this is for you, and this is in response to california

1037
01:04:04,521 --> 01:04:08,521
supreme court case which clarified that the duties of

1038
01:04:08,521 --> 01:04:11,521
public officials when you get a public richard-haven't

1039
01:04:11,521 --> 01:04:17,521
what is considered a public record act versus not and

1040
01:04:20,521 --> 01:04:21,521
basically the supreme court has decided that it doesn't

1041
01:04:21,521 --> 01:04:22,521
matter where the record resides whether it's in your

1042
01:04:22,521 --> 01:04:27,921
personal device or e-mail if it involves a public

1043
01:04:31,521 --> 01:04:32,521
business, some matter before you then it really is a

1044
01:04:32,521 --> 01:04:35,521
public record that may be subject to disclosure.

1045
01:04:35,521 --> 01:04:38,521
there's rules of what's exempt from disclosure it's just

1046
01:04:38,521 --> 01:04:42,521
for the have to look to find public records.

1047
01:04:42,521 --> 01:04:49,121
we have a full policy that basically gives you a device

1048
01:04:50,521 --> 01:04:51,461
and you are receiving an ipad, we encourage you to keep

1049
01:04:51,461 --> 01:04:53,461

1055
01:05:22,461 --> 01:05:23,461

1060

regards to the bylaws or changes?

1061
01:05:36,461 --> 01:05:37,461
>> I have a recommendation.

1062
01:05:37,461 --> 01:05:41,461
on page 129, section 5 that first paragraph that talks

1063
01:05:41,461 --> 01:05:43,861
about basically, how to

1064
01:05:49,461 --> 01:05:53,661
>> is removing a commissioner without a cause?

1065
01:05:54,401 --> 01:05:55,401
>> I would like to delete it.

1066
01:05:55,401 --> 01:05:58,401
it's repetitive and already stated

1067
01:06:03,401 --> 01:06:04,401
>> mme.

1068
01:06:04,401 --> 01:06:05,401
chair if I may offer a letter background for the rest

1069
01:06:05,401 --> 01:06:06,401
the board.

1070
01:06:06,401 --> 01:06:07,401
this was when I was serving as general counsel outside

1071
01:06:07,401 --> 01:06:09,401
counsel.

1072
01:06:12,401 --> 01:06:13,401
there was some discussion on the commission about the

1073
01:06:13,401 --> 01:06:15,401
ability to have a commissioner removed for failure to

1074
01:06:15,401 --> 01:06:17,401
attend meetings.

1075
01:06:25,401 --> 01:06:26,401
only the board of supervisors as you point authority has

1076
01:06:26,401 --> 01:06:29,401
the ability to remove a commissioner and you can only be

1077
01:06:29,401 --> 01:06:31,401
removed for cause.

1078
01:06:46,401 --> 01:06:47,401
at that time, it was the will of the commission that you

1079
01:06:47,401 --> 01:06:48,401
added an extra layer and you would only make a referral

1080
01:06:48,401 --> 01:06:49,401
to the board of supervisors if due process had been

1081
01:06:49,401 --> 01:06:50,401
afforded here.

1082
01:06:50,401 --> 01:06:51,341
it actually adds a second layer of due process and it

1083
01:06:51,341 --> 01:06:58,341
would take longer if you have a problem and you need to

1084
01:06:58,341 --> 01:06:59,341
remove a commissioner it would take a longer.

1085
01:06:59,341 --> 01:07:00,341
time for the commissioner to be removed.

1086
01:07:00,341 --> 01:07:03,341
I not sending that attendance would be a reason because

1087
01:07:03,341 --> 01:07:04,341
I don't know if that would be a cause but I suggesting

1088
01:07:04,341 --> 01:07:09,741
that if you have a problem with inappropriate conduct,

1089
01:07:10,341 --> 01:07:16,341
this would actually lengthen the time and have more due

1090
01:07:21,341 --> 01:07:22,341
process as opposed to perhaps the board chair or

1091
01:07:22,341 --> 01:07:23,341
somebody approaching the board of supervisors and saying

1092
01:07:23,341 --> 01:07:24,341
I think we have an issue.

1093
01:07:24,341 --> 01:07:25,341
I wanted to let you know the kind of a background for

1094
01:07:25,341 --> 01:07:30,341
that language it was added but it is covered in state

1095
01:07:30,341 --> 01:07:31,341
law.

1096
01:07:31,341 --> 01:07:33,341
if you want to remove it, that is fine.

1097
01:07:33,341 --> 01:07:35,341
>> I agree with you.

1098
01:07:35,341 --> 01:07:42,541
the state law does make it for cause before the board of

1099
01:07:44,341 --> 01:07:45,341
supervisors.

1100
01:07:45,341 --> 01:07:50,141
and I think it could go several ways.

1101
01:07:53,341 --> 01:07:54,341
if there was a perception that someone wasn't doing

1102
01:07:54,341 --> 01:07:55,341
their job or someone had a psychotic break or something

1103
01:07:55,341 --> 01:08:00,341
like that then there's a lot of ways we can do it but

1104
01:08:00,341 --> 01:08:05,341
the chair can discuss it to the board of supervisors or

1105
01:08:05,341 --> 01:08:09,541
whatever enemy commissioner felt that was inappropriate

1106
01:08:17,341 --> 01:08:18,341
action I suppose a commissioner could asked them to look

1107
01:08:18,341 --> 01:08:19,341
at it or whatever.

1108
01:08:19,341 --> 01:08:20,341
I do not think we need a rule for it.

1109
01:08:20,341 --> 01:08:21,341
I don't like the role I prefer something it's ever

1110
01:08:21,341 --> 01:08:27,341
happened but if somehow-- maybe not doing their job but

1111
01:08:30,341 --> 01:08:32,741
that some significant problems.

1112
01:08:35,341 --> 01:08:36,341
you gotta go to the county anyway.

1113
01:08:36,341 --> 01:08:40,541
and I trust just go do it.

1114
01:08:45,341 --> 01:08:46,341
>> commissioner o'neill?

1115
01:08:46,341 --> 01:08:48,341
>> we did not talk about this that much had bylaws

1116
01:08:48,341 --> 01:08:50,341
meeting.

1117
01:08:51,281 --> 01:08:55,281
I do see actually see a benefit here and that it allows

1118
01:08:55,281 --> 01:09:01,281
this board to have that discussion about, let's say lack

1119
01:09:06,281 --> 01:09:07,281
of attendance.

1120
01:09:07,281 --> 01:09:13,881
before he goes to the county board of supervisors it was

1121
01:09:14,281 --> 01:09:15,281
an opportunity to sort of may be clean up our own house

1122
01:09:15,281 --> 01:09:16,281
issues before it becomes a public issue.

1123
01:09:16,281 --> 01:09:21,681
once a goes to the board --whichever commissioner were

1124
01:09:22,281 --> 01:09:27,810
suggesting perhaps my not had fully attended the

1125
01:09:28,281 --> 01:09:33,681
meetings and prevented us from getting a quorum, perhaps

1126
01:09:34,281 --> 01:09:35,281
might be supported by whichever county board member that

1127
01:09:35,281 --> 01:09:38,281
appointed him and then it would lead to kind of a

1128
01:09:38,281 --> 01:09:44,281
dysfunction whereas it we didn't here at first it would

1129
01:09:46,281 --> 01:09:47,281
go to the board supervisors with our recommendations

1130
01:09:47,281 --> 01:09:48,281
commissioner so-and-so had not be intending.

1131
01:09:48,281 --> 01:09:54,221
I do see, much you want to vote on it right now having

1132
01:09:54,221 --> 01:10:00,221
doing it much thought but as I read it and try to think

1133
01:10:00,221 --> 01:10:02,221
about problems that we've had on this board or other

1134
01:10:02,221 --> 01:10:08,221
boards I kinda like something like this because it might

1135
01:10:10,221 --> 01:10:12,221
resolve the problem.

1136
01:10:13,221 --> 01:10:18,621
I'm not sure that this is the actual language.

1137
01:10:26,221 --> 01:10:27,221
I'm sure that there's something here that might be

1138
01:10:27,221 --> 01:10:29,221
beneficial.

1139
01:10:29,221 --> 01:10:35,821
>> if you want to take some time and look at section 5.

1140
01:10:42,221 --> 01:10:43,221
what I would say, it gives the commissioner a right to a

1141
01:10:43,221 --> 01:10:45,221
notice of hearing before this commission and I am saying

1142
01:10:45,221 --> 01:10:50,221
in my view is that I do not want to deal with that.

1143
01:10:50,221 --> 01:10:52,161
if the commissioner doesn't like what's happening in the

1144
01:10:52,161 --> 01:10:57,561
commissioner can put it on the agenda and other

1145
01:11:00,161 --> 01:11:01,161
commissioners can hear it.

1146
01:11:01,161 --> 01:11:02,161
I don't like being bound to some kind of a notice

1147
01:11:02,161 --> 01:11:05,761
hearing process here before it goes.

1148
01:11:13,161 --> 01:11:14,161
I think it without that we still have the opportunity.

1149
01:11:14,161 --> 01:11:15,161
I can go either way.

1150
01:11:15,161 --> 01:11:18,161
I take your point that's think about it and I prefer to

1151
01:11:18,161 --> 01:11:21,161
talk about it some more.

1152
01:11:51,101 --> 01:11:57,701
actually it didn't have anything to do with that it had

1153
01:12:07,101 --> 01:12:08,101
to do, my point is that we do not have it's an

1154
01:12:08,101 --> 01:12:09,101
unnecessary procedure whereas we do not have the right

1155
01:12:09,101 --> 01:12:10,101
to recommend any removal.

1156
01:12:10,101 --> 01:12:14,101
it's up to the board of supervisors.

1157
01:12:14,101 --> 01:12:17,701
yeah, to the board of supervisors.

1158
01:12:21,101 --> 01:12:26,101
>> what I was going to suggest, I really don't feel that

1159
01:12:26,101 --> 01:12:32,101
this type of thing belongs in the bylaws and I'm

1160
01:12:32,101 --> 01:12:33,101
thinking that perhaps if you want to have some kind of

1161
01:12:33,101 --> 01:12:39,101
procedure or policy with regard to this issue then why

1162
01:12:48,101 --> 01:12:49,101
don't we just bring back a policy and you can have that

1163
01:12:49,101 --> 01:12:50,101
as a separate discussion?

1164
01:12:50,101 --> 01:12:51,410
>> I really don't believe that, this is more a procedure

1165
01:12:51,410 --> 01:12:55,410
than a policy procedure not a bylaws.

1166
01:12:55,410 --> 01:12:56,410
>> I accept that.

1167
01:12:56,410 --> 01:12:57,410
>> let's do that.

1168
01:12:57,410 --> 01:12:59,410
then I would move approval subject to the removal of

1169
01:12:59,410 --> 01:13:04,441
section 5 with the direction to staff bring back a

1170
01:13:05,410 --> 01:13:09,410
policy to handle this kind of thing.

1171
01:13:09,410 --> 01:13:14,410
the more I think about it I think you're right.

1172
01:13:14,410 --> 01:13:17,410
when you do something that's a policy rather than just

1173
01:13:17,410 --> 01:13:19,441
having sort of nothing.

1174
01:13:25,410 --> 01:13:26,410
>> right because it be no stopping it we had a

1175
01:13:26,410 --> 01:13:31,410
dysfunctional board the chair would go but some other

1176
01:13:31,410 --> 01:13:32,410
would go pretty soon you have the supervisors involved

1177
01:13:32,410 --> 01:13:34,410
in our battles.

1178
01:13:38,410 --> 01:13:39,410
I'm not saying any of that would happen I think were all

1179
01:13:39,410 --> 01:13:40,410
mature but I've been on boards where that type of

1180
01:13:40,410 --> 01:13:44,241
dysfunction, happens and it's hard to stop.

1181
01:13:49,410 --> 01:13:51,981
>> my problem with the commissioner did have to do with

1182
01:13:51,981 --> 01:13:56,981
the labor but the way he dealt with it.

1183
01:13:56,981 --> 01:13:57,981
well, there was that and also something else.

1184
01:13:57,981 --> 01:14:02,181
>> it was an action abs-haven't absent commissioners

1185
01:14:05,981 --> 01:14:06,981
personality.

1186
01:14:06,981 --> 01:14:07,981
anyway I want to go through that again because it

1187
01:14:07,981 --> 01:14:10,981
reminds me of horrible, horrible experiences.

1188
01:14:10,981 --> 01:14:15,181
commissioner anderson has moved and commissioner gardner

1189
01:14:22,981 --> 01:14:23,981
is second.

1190
01:14:23,981 --> 01:14:24,981
we will have a rollcall vote.

1191
01:14:24,981 --> 01:14:25,981
any other discussion or question before we take the

1192
01:14:25,981 --> 01:14:26,981
rollcall vote?

1193
01:14:26,981 --> 01:14:27,981
okay.

1194
01:14:27,981 --> 01:14:33,381
we will go ahead and have the rollcall vote.

1195
01:14:47,981 --> 01:14:51,581
this is our last rollcall vote.

1196
01:14:58,921 --> 01:14:59,921
>> that you approve the other two resolutions?

1197
01:14:59,921 --> 01:15:00,921
>> yes, all three.

1198
01:15:00,921 --> 01:15:06,321
>> I'm sorry, was that also with the technology that

1199
01:15:10,921 --> 01:15:11,921
were improving?

1200
01:15:11,921 --> 01:15:12,921
>> yes.

1201
01:15:12,921 --> 01:15:13,921
>> do you have a question about that?

1202
01:15:13,921 --> 01:15:14,921
>> yes.

1203
01:15:14,921 --> 01:15:15,921
>> is it technology?

1204
01:15:15,921 --> 01:15:16,921
policy?

1205
01:15:16,921 --> 01:15:17,921
>> policy.

1206
01:15:17,921 --> 01:15:19,921
brian, did we forward all our former emails I wasn't

1207
01:15:19,921 --> 01:15:20,921
sure?

1208
01:15:20,921 --> 01:15:23,921
>> I don't think that's necessary.

1209
01:15:23,921 --> 01:15:29,921
but if you feel like it, you can do that.

1210
01:15:29,921 --> 01:15:30,921
>> we can save this for another discussion but I had

1211
01:15:30,921 --> 01:15:37,521
questions as far as the actual use and it's the property

1212
01:15:38,921 --> 01:15:44,921
of the housing authority and technology and how is that

1213
01:15:46,921 --> 01:15:51,861
a protection on that as far as, is it insured?

1214
01:15:51,861 --> 01:15:52,861
>> it is not insured and we can give you those in a

1215
01:15:52,861 --> 01:15:55,861
private conversation training use the technology.

1216
01:15:55,861 --> 01:15:57,861
>> awesome.

1217
01:16:02,861 --> 01:16:03,861
any more questions before I take the vote?

1218
01:16:03,861 --> 01:16:09,261
okay let's have the rollcall vote on all three.

1219
01:16:09,861 --> 01:16:14,661
>> I just thought you took the rollcall vote?

1220
01:16:23,861 --> 01:16:24,861
>> do we have to do it again?

1221
01:16:24,861 --> 01:16:25,861
>> no.

1222
01:16:25,861 --> 01:16:26,861
what you cook, if you feel that you weren't sure that

1223
01:16:26,861 --> 01:16:27,861
you took a vote on the other two resolutions you cannot

1224
01:16:27,861 --> 01:16:30,861
do that by voice vote.

1225
01:16:30,861 --> 01:16:31,861
>> the clerk confirmed that she understood your prior

1226
01:16:31,861 --> 01:16:35,461
rollcall to be all three actions.

1227
01:16:35,861 --> 01:16:41,261
>> for the record, that was intent of my motion.

1228
01:16:41,861 --> 01:16:42,861
>> and the other section 5 will be brought back asked

1229
01:16:42,861 --> 01:16:44,861
policy.

1230
01:16:46,861 --> 01:16:54,610
we are at 11 o'clock so we're going to have to take e6

1231
01:16:54,801 --> 01:16:55,801
>> we can quickly dispose, I think four and five should

1232
01:16:55,801 --> 01:16:58,201
be fairly housekeeping items.

1233
01:17:08,801 --> 01:17:09,801
before is adopting a resolution and housing authority to

1234
01:17:09,801 --> 01:17:10,801
change providers for our dental and vision insurance.

1235
01:17:10,801 --> 01:17:11,801
this is the housekeeping matter this is just no change

1236
01:17:11,801 --> 01:17:12,801
to the employees.

1237
01:17:12,801 --> 01:17:17,801
it does offload some of the administration of the

1238
01:17:17,801 --> 01:17:18,801
benefits because this organization provides more

1239
01:17:18,801 --> 01:17:22,801
administration support so premium wise there is a big

1240
01:17:22,801 --> 01:17:25,801
difference but is can be significant from an operational

1241
01:17:25,801 --> 01:17:27,801
standpoint.

1242
01:17:29,801 --> 01:17:34,601
>> we went through the-- that was my concern.

1243
01:17:37,801 --> 01:17:43,201
the question was at the cost more or what.

1244
01:17:50,801 --> 01:17:52,801
that is myself when the mic background.

1245
01:17:52,801 --> 01:17:58,801
the second piece --that is my cell phone and the

1246
01:17:58,801 --> 01:18:00,801
background.

1247
01:18:03,801 --> 01:18:09,801
's so, if you take into account that were saving

1248
01:18:09,801 --> 01:18:14,100
administrative cost because the --the program provider

1249
01:18:15,801 --> 01:18:18,801
will do something with that.

1250
01:18:18,801 --> 01:18:22,801
it felt like it was more or less neutral and it would

1251
01:18:22,801 --> 01:18:27,100
take some of the burden off staff.

1252
01:18:29,801 --> 01:18:30,801
I would move approval.

1253
01:18:30,801 --> 01:18:31,801
>> okay.

1254
01:18:31,801 --> 01:18:35,801
we have a motion to approve is her second?

1255
01:18:35,801 --> 01:18:36,801
second commissioner o'neill seconds.

01:18:36,801 --> 01:18:38,801
all in favor say I?

1257
01:18:38,801 --> 01:18:39,801
great.

1258
01:18:39,801 --> 01:18:41,801
it passes.

1259
01:18:41,801 --> 01:18:45,401
now, let's take on item b-five.

1260
01:18:50,741 --> 01:18:51,741
>> yes this is the last business item.

1261
01:18:51,741 --> 01:18:57,141
again, this is under our program regulations there are

1262
01:19:02,741 --> 01:19:03,741
two mandatory items that we have to screen applicants

1263
01:19:03,741 --> 01:19:04,741
for.

1264
01:19:04,741 --> 01:19:05,741

01:19:06,741 --> 01:19:07,741
circumstances.

1267
01:19:07,741 --> 01:19:13,741
we were not to bid on this contract kind of refresh it--

1268
01:19:13,741 --> 01:19:16,741
meta- --were asking for board approval.

1269
01:19:16,741 --> 01:19:18,741
>> any discussion?

1270
01:19:29,741 --> 01:19:30,741
>> I think it's a hard requirement that we do it so we

1271
01:19:30,741 --> 01:19:31,741
have the right mentor and all that's why move approval.

1272
01:19:31,741 --> 01:19:32,741
>> commissioner anderson was approval to we have a

1273
01:19:32,741 --> 01:19:33,741

1274
01:19:33,741 --> 01:19:34,741
>> second.

commission there lorie second.

1276
01:19:39,741 --> 01:19:40,741

all in favor of approving this agreement signify by

1278
01:19:42,741 --> 01:19:44,741
saying I?

1279
01:19:46,741 --> 01:19:47,741
it passes.

1280
01:19:47,741 --> 01:19:53,741
now, we have --bam I wanted to introduce consultants who

1281
01:19:56,681 --> 01:20:00,681
have been working with us for a few maybe a year now.

1282
01:20:00,681 --> 01:20:03,681
they are call the tax credit asset management

1283
01:20:03,681 --> 01:20:05,681

1284
01:20:06,681 --> 01:20:08,681
is that correct?

1285
01:20:08,681 --> 01:20:12,281
we know them by that name.

1286
01:20:24,681 --> 01:20:25,681
what they been working with our stephan is not only

1287
01:20:25,681 --> 01:20:26,681
fully transitioning us an agency that manages property

1288
01:20:26,681 --> 01:20:27,681

training of you are board members, you have a role

1290
01:20:28,681 --> 01:20:34,810

01:20:36,681 --> 01:20:37,681
you to better understand your role so they're good to go

1292
01:20:37,681 --> 01:20:40,681
into some of the basics of what your role is with

1293
01:20:40,681 --> 01:20:41,681
respect of our 29 different affordable housing

1294
01:20:41,681 --> 01:20:43,681
properties.

1295
01:20:44,681 --> 01:20:45,681
I will let you all introduce yourself.

1296
01:20:45,681 --> 01:20:46,681
>> thank you.

1297
01:20:46,681 --> 01:20:51,481
hello everyone I ellen sally's army managing director.

1298
01:20:52,621 --> 01:20:55,621
I'm joined by my colleague elaine magill who zone of our

1299
01:20:55,621 --> 01:20:58,621
lead consultants and prosthetic manager.

1300
01:21:02,621 --> 01:21:03,621
as catherine mentioned, we had the pleasure of working

1301
01:21:03,621 --> 01:21:09,621
with them on their asset management function and that is

1302
01:21:09,621 --> 01:21:12,621
really going to be the focus of this presentation.

1303
01:21:12,621 --> 01:21:18,621
to keep it clean and simple talk about asset management

1304
01:21:18,621 --> 01:21:21,621
were talking about how do we take care of the properties

1305
01:21:21,621 --> 01:21:25,221
that we own and invest in.

1306
01:21:29,621 --> 01:21:30,621
in this presentation, we brought to you today, we will

1307
01:21:30,621 --> 01:21:32,621
talk about the roles and responsibilities of folks who

1308
01:21:32,621 --> 01:21:36,821
work day today on asset management responsibilities.

1309
01:21:46,621 --> 01:21:47,621
and throughout the industry really, and how those

1310
01:21:47,621 --> 01:21:48,621
responsibilities defer from rules and responsibilities

1311
01:21:48,621 --> 01:21:53,421
of those who are at the board level.

1312
01:21:53,561 --> 01:21:54,561
we are an organization that has done a lot of work in

1313
01:21:54,561 --> 01:21:57,561
the country with other housing authorities and other

1314
01:21:57,561 --> 01:21:58,561
capital providers, we learned a lot from these

1315
01:21:58,561 --> 01:22:03,961
experiences and we are trying to bring that introduce

1316
01:22:04,561 --> 01:22:09,361
that best practices to them in this area.

1317
01:22:11,561 --> 01:22:12,561
I am going through the first few slides and then I will

1318
01:22:12,561 --> 01:22:15,561
turn it over to elaine who will take us to the rest of

1319
01:22:15,561 --> 01:22:17,561
the presentation.

1320
01:22:24,561 --> 01:22:25,561
and then perhaps, we can do some questions and answers

1321
01:22:25,561 --> 01:22:26,561
afterwards.

1322
01:22:26,561 --> 01:22:27,561
so, this is our agenda.

1323
01:22:27,561 --> 01:22:31,561
the first thing that were going to talk about which

1324
01:22:31,561 --> 01:22:32,561
should be quite familiar to the group here is that this

1325
01:22:32,561 --> 01:22:33,561
understanding the work that you do as a housing

1326
01:22:33,561 --> 01:22:38,961
authority we think it's important to start with this

1327
01:22:39,561 --> 01:22:40,561
just to set the stage so we can understand the rest of

1328
01:22:40,561 --> 01:22:42,561
the presentation as we get into your relationship to

1329
01:22:42,561 --> 01:22:46,561
your properties and the key rules with respect to asset

1330
01:22:46,561 --> 01:22:48,561
management.

1331
01:22:52,501 --> 01:22:53,501
number two, we will talk about your inherent

1332
01:22:53,501 --> 01:22:55,901
relationship to your properties.

1333
01:23:00,501 --> 01:23:01,501
and how that typically works across housing authorities

1334
01:23:01,501 --> 01:23:08,701
and then we will end with this sort of a situation of

1335
01:23:13,501 --> 01:23:14,501
today.

1336
01:23:14,501 --> 01:23:15,501
how does a well oiled asset management function work and

1337
01:23:15,501 --> 01:23:17,501
what are the key rules and responsibilities.

1338
01:23:17,501 --> 01:23:18,501
the scope into number one.

1339
01:23:18,501 --> 01:23:20,501
understanding what you do.

1340
01:23:20,501 --> 01:23:22,501
much of this is not all should be familiar to this

1341
01:23:22,501 --> 01:23:24,501
group.

1342
01:23:27,501 --> 01:23:28,501
we think it's important to start here and get the basics

1343
01:23:28,501 --> 01:23:30,501
down and lay a foundation.

1344
01:23:30,501 --> 01:23:35,901
this illustration starts with those areas that, most of

1345
01:23:39,501 --> 01:23:40,501
us know are important to the housing authority which is

1346
01:23:40,501 --> 01:23:46,501
providing a social good for the community that you serve

1347
01:23:46,501 --> 01:23:49,501
and administering housing finance programs.

1348
01:23:50,441 --> 01:23:54,441
example 8 for exam goal and other ones that have more

1349
01:23:54,441 --> 01:23:58,641
public housing that they're administrating and again

1350
01:24:00,441 --> 01:24:01,441
providing social support.

1351
01:24:01,441 --> 01:24:04,441
in addition to all of that, there is a host of

1352
01:24:04,441 --> 01:24:10,441
responsibilities and work that you as an owner as an

1353
01:24:20,441 --> 01:24:21,441
operator of real estate of multifamily developments have

1354
01:24:21,441 --> 01:24:22,441
to worry about so you own and you develop, you operate a

1355
01:24:22,441 --> 01:24:24,441
department billings for low income individuals.

1356
01:24:24,441 --> 01:24:27,441
and often as is the case, you will use low income house

1357
01:24:27,441 --> 01:24:32,841
tax credits which are administered by your state monitor

1358
01:24:33,441 --> 01:24:37,410
agency and funded by the irs.

1359
01:24:37,441 --> 01:24:42,841
the portfolio or the properties that you're managing and

1360
01:24:45,441 --> 01:24:46,441
operating are often funded or financed by this important

1361
01:24:46,441 --> 01:24:48,441
tool.

1362
01:24:51,381 --> 01:24:57,381
your mission is very critical this is your guiding light

1363
01:25:01,381 --> 01:25:02,381
here this is very familiar to all of you is to provide

1364
01:25:02,381 --> 01:25:07,181
and inspire affordable housing solution to enable low

1365
01:25:09,381 --> 01:25:10,381
income people and santa clara county to achieve

1366
01:25:10,381 --> 01:25:11,381
financial stability and self-reliance.

1367
01:25:11,381 --> 01:25:17,381
as I mentioned, and addition to trying to fulfill this

1368
01:25:17,381 --> 01:25:18,381
mission you're also owners of real estate and that

1369
01:25:18,381 --> 01:25:21,381
brings a host of responsibilities.

1370
01:25:23,381 --> 01:25:24,381
that ownership itself is done in support of your

1371
01:25:24,381 --> 01:25:26,381
mission.

1372
01:25:34,381 --> 01:25:35,381
in this illustration, what were trying to communicate

1373
01:25:35,381 --> 01:25:36,381
with you is the complexity of the properties that you

1374
01:25:36,381 --> 01:25:38,781
develop own, and manage.

1375
01:25:44,381 --> 01:25:45,381
and all the different stakeholders involved in these

1376
01:25:45,381 --> 01:25:46,381
transactions.

1377
01:25:46,381 --> 01:25:52,381
as you can see, it's a variety of capital providers,

1378
01:25:56,321 --> 01:25:57,321
investors, stakeholders and perhaps the most important

1379
01:25:57,321 --> 01:25:58,321
stakeholder in this illustration in any of these

1380
01:25:58,321 --> 01:25:59,321
properties are the residents the committees that you're

1381
01:25:59,321 --> 01:26:05,321
trying to serve but you also have lenders who provide

1382
01:26:08,321 --> 01:26:09,321
loans and those loans have to be service.

1383
01:26:09,321 --> 01:26:15,321
on the other hand, you may have a tax credit investor

1384
01:26:15,321 --> 01:26:16,321
and you may be familiar with the term syndicator the

1385
01:26:16,321 --> 01:26:17,321
middleman that brings the developers and investors

1386
01:26:17,321 --> 01:26:19,321
together.

1387
01:26:19,321 --> 01:26:20,321
on that and there try to get tax benefits from these

1388
01:26:20,321 --> 01:26:26,321
properties the part here that relates to you is the

1389
01:26:26,321 --> 01:26:28,321
owner developer side.

1390
01:26:33,321 --> 01:26:34,321
you are mostly responsible for ensuring that these

1391
01:26:34,321 --> 01:26:37,321
properties get billed or rehabilitated and that they get

1392
01:26:37,321 --> 01:26:42,121
well-maintained over time and you have your own

1393
01:26:47,321 --> 01:26:48,321
incentives in addition to profits and fees you're also

1394
01:26:48,321 --> 01:26:52,261
trying to fulfill your mission as a public agency.

1395
01:26:52,261 --> 01:26:53,261
a complex sort of array of actors in each of these

1396
01:26:53,261 --> 01:26:55,261
properties.

1397
01:27:00,261 --> 01:27:01,261
I will turn it over to elaine who will talk about your

1398
01:27:01,261 --> 01:27:03,661
role in property ownership.

1399
01:27:05,261 --> 01:27:06,261
>> thank you.

1400
01:27:06,261 --> 01:27:07,261
hi everyone.

1401
01:27:07,261 --> 01:27:13,261
we will talk about the role as a corporation in the

1402
01:27:13,261 --> 01:27:18,610
ownership of these properties and what is the

1403
01:27:18,261 --> 01:27:19,261
corporation responsible and how do you fit into the

1404
01:27:19,261 --> 01:27:21,261
bigger picture.

1405
01:27:21,261 --> 01:27:27,261
this little graphic, they own quite a few little kind of

1406
01:27:27,261 --> 01:27:32,610
shell corporations that are the organizations that have

1407
01:27:32,261 --> 01:27:38,261
built this properties this is how they are involved in

1408
01:27:38,261 --> 01:27:39,261
the properties.

1409
01:27:39,261 --> 01:27:45,261
but, each of these affiliates each of them are pretty

1410
01:27:46,261 --> 01:27:47,261
much self-contained little companies and they operate

1411
01:27:47,261 --> 01:27:49,261
pretty well on their own.

1412
01:27:49,261 --> 01:27:54,610
the each have their own board of directors.

1413
01:27:58,261 --> 01:27:59,261
I don't know what's happening here.

1414
01:27:59,261 --> 01:28:01,261
they have their own boards of directors they oversee and

1415
01:28:01,261 --> 01:28:06,610
monitor those properties of these entities which are

1416
01:28:07,261 --> 01:28:09,261
their purview.

1417
01:28:10,261 --> 01:28:16,261
I don't know what's going on with this-- they contract

1418
01:28:24,261 --> 01:28:29,661
with property management so they are closely involved in

1419
01:28:32,261 --> 01:28:33,261
how they operate at those properties social services and

1420
01:28:33,261 --> 01:28:35,261
really again they are self-contained little company.

1421
01:28:35,261 --> 01:28:40,261
they are watching their own income and expenses that

1422
01:28:40,261 --> 01:28:41,261
they are solvent and feasible as companies.

1423
01:28:41,261 --> 01:28:44,261
what is it with them?

1424
01:28:44,261 --> 01:28:46,661
what does that mean?

1425
01:28:55,201 --> 01:28:56,201
okay.

1426
01:28:56,201 --> 01:28:57,201
here's two examples.

1427
01:28:57,201 --> 01:28:58,201
these are two properties from the portfolio that you

1428
01:28:58,201 --> 01:29:00,201
guys own.

1429
01:29:02,201 --> 01:29:05,801
if you can see, let's see?

1430
01:29:07,201 --> 01:29:08,201
this is the name of the company that owns it and again

1431
01:29:08,201 --> 01:29:14,801
this, this is the entity from the slide before that is

1432
01:29:15,201 --> 01:29:16,201
how they are involved.

1433
01:29:16,201 --> 01:29:17,201
that's a little company that is involved in this

1434
01:29:17,201 --> 01:29:19,201
property.

1435
01:29:23,201 --> 01:29:24,201
down here, this is a name of who owns a property but

1436
01:29:24,201 --> 01:29:27,201
this is how we are involved.

1437
01:29:27,201 --> 01:29:33,801
so, the city is one of those, one of the owners.

1438
01:29:35,201 --> 01:29:41,201
a place that owns the building is been door drive

1439
01:29:42,201 --> 01:29:45,201
partnership again, one of those companies is one of the

1440
01:29:45,201 --> 01:29:51,201
partners that owns the property and the board of them,

1441
01:29:52,141 --> 01:29:53,141
remember its own board is regularly monitoring

1442
01:29:53,141 --> 01:29:54,141
performance.

1443
01:29:54,141 --> 01:29:55,141
it was really looking at how is they operating and

1444
01:29:55,141 --> 01:29:57,141
performing.

1445
01:30:05,141 --> 01:30:06,141
>> we are a member of that board?

1446
01:30:06,141 --> 01:30:09,141
>> they had their own membership.

1447
01:30:14,141 --> 01:30:19,541
it has its own board but in operates internally.

1448
01:30:20,141 --> 01:30:21,141
no one, but most of the people in the board of

1449
01:30:21,141 --> 01:30:24,141
commissioners are not member of this board.

1450
01:30:24,141 --> 01:30:29,141
>> either way, it's not a fiction it's a natural fact

1451
01:30:29,141 --> 01:30:35,141
that there's a separate company, we are not that company

1452
01:30:36,141 --> 01:30:37,141
and we don't want to be the company.

1453
01:30:37,141 --> 01:30:44,341
what we do and the way it works it's a little tricky.

1454
01:30:45,141 --> 01:30:46,141
if you looked up at the board of directors of each of

1455
01:30:46,141 --> 01:30:51,810
the smaller companies there are staff often times with

1456
01:30:51,810 --> 01:30:57,810
other people on that board and some, you may have some

1457
01:30:57,810 --> 01:30:58,810
from the tax credit folks that have an interest in the

1458
01:30:58,810 --> 01:30:59,810
property.

1459
01:30:59,810 --> 01:31:02,810
basically the control of those companies is through our

1460
01:31:02,810 --> 01:31:04,810
staff.

1461
01:31:22,810 --> 01:31:27,481
we are actually in their it's a good presentation

1462
01:31:30,810 --> 01:31:31,810
because even for me and I was present when they were put

1463
01:31:31,810 --> 01:31:35,881
together and have thought this but sometimes I'm

1464
01:31:36,810 --> 01:31:42,681
confused and what our role is this, as your old the

1465
01:32:08,210 --> 01:32:12,221
housing authority owns via san pedro incorporated.

1466
01:32:18,210 --> 01:32:19,210
the board of directors are established according to that

1467
01:32:19,210 --> 01:32:21,210
corporation and bylaws.

1468
01:32:39,210 --> 01:32:42,621
>> I think that brace said down.

1469
01:32:45,210 --> 01:32:46,210
and I don't want to get us caught up in the legal stuff

1470
01:32:46,210 --> 01:32:47,210
but yeah.

1471
01:32:47,210 --> 01:32:49,961
>> of those eight properties are those part of our

1472
01:32:49,961 --> 01:32:50,961
portfolio?

1473
01:32:50,961 --> 01:32:52,961
of the properties?

1474
01:32:54,961 --> 01:32:59,961
>> the aeg these are acronyms for generally, it sounds

1475
01:32:59,961 --> 01:33:00,961
for housing development corporation and a lot of our

1476
01:33:00,961 --> 01:33:06,961
corporate names have hdc at the end but they are

1477
01:33:13,961 --> 01:33:14,961
corporation and not properties within each of these

1478
01:33:14,961 --> 01:33:15,961
corporations they have responsibility formation

1479
01:33:15,961 --> 01:33:16,961
--managing.

1480
01:33:16,961 --> 01:33:23,561
there will be more than one property like one of them

1481
01:33:28,961 --> 01:33:29,961
has around six properties under its purview.

1482
01:33:29,961 --> 01:33:30,961
because those are all properties that had to have the

1483
01:33:30,961 --> 01:33:32,961
arms length transaction.

1484
01:33:34,961 --> 01:33:40,961
these corporations as was noted on the slide right here

1485
01:33:41,961 --> 01:33:42,961
these corporations actually have the contracts with a

1486
01:33:42,961 --> 01:33:44,961
property management company they manage of those

1487
01:33:44,961 --> 01:33:49,761
contracts because they are the general managing partner

1488
01:33:54,901 --> 01:33:55,901
for the limited partnership.

1489
01:33:55,901 --> 01:33:56,901
if you go back to the next slide, you will see how

1490
01:33:56,901 --> 01:33:58,901
owners been door drive, that's the ownership entity and

1491
01:33:58,901 --> 01:34:04,301
the ownership entity is controlled by san pedro hdc.

1492
01:34:06,901 --> 01:34:12,901
the rest of the partnerships is a tax credit investor

1493
01:34:15,901 --> 01:34:16,901
that's kind of in the background saying I'm giving you

1494
01:34:16,901 --> 01:34:17,901
this money, this is what I want back and this is what

1495
01:34:17,901 --> 01:34:19,901
you will too.

1496
01:34:20,901 --> 01:34:23,301
>> yes, very well explained.

1497
01:34:29,901 --> 01:34:30,901
I think the question that you're asking, what is her

1498
01:34:30,901 --> 01:34:31,901
involvement more directly?

1499
01:34:31,901 --> 01:34:32,901
yes, they make a small to be able to get the building

1500
01:34:32,901 --> 01:34:37,701
financed, these buildings are expenses and they need

1501
01:34:39,901 --> 01:34:40,901
money.

1502
01:34:40,901 --> 01:34:44,901
one of the ways that the building was paid for was them

1503
01:34:44,901 --> 01:34:49,841
saying, we found all the money we can get from the state

1504
01:34:49,841 --> 01:34:55,841
and investor whistle have a little gap okay, will fill

1505
01:34:55,841 --> 01:34:56,841
back so them as a corporation made a loan sort of to

1506
01:34:56,841 --> 01:35:01,841
itself but that loan is to-having given by them.

1507
01:35:01,841 --> 01:35:05,441
in that way, there directly involved.

1508
01:35:05,841 --> 01:35:11,841
they also a guarantor some these bigger loans that the

1509
01:35:17,841 --> 01:35:18,841
property holes.

1510
01:35:18,841 --> 01:35:19,841
it has a loan to the bank, that bank want someone to

1511
01:35:19,841 --> 01:35:20,841
guarantee that loan.

1512
01:35:20,841 --> 01:35:21,841
also the investor want a guarantor of the benefits they

1513
01:35:21,841 --> 01:35:22,841
have.

1514
01:35:22,841 --> 01:35:26,841
just another example, a nida is a way that they are

1515
01:35:26,841 --> 01:35:28,841
involved.

1516
01:35:32,841 --> 01:35:33,841
but also, they made a small loan and holds a lease on

1517
01:35:33,841 --> 01:35:38,641
the land that cypress garden was built on.

1518
01:35:43,841 --> 01:35:44,841
they were involved directly but on a more daily basis

1519
01:35:44,841 --> 01:35:48,841
sort of managing the property, there is this kind of

1520
01:35:48,841 --> 01:35:53,410
means her --that operates on its own.

1521
01:35:55,781 --> 01:35:56,781
and they may have other affiliations that are direct but

1522
01:35:56,781 --> 01:36:01,581
the daily stuff is done through this structure.

1523
01:36:07,781 --> 01:36:08,781
we have talked about this a bit but, you know as

1524
01:36:08,781 --> 01:36:09,781
commissioners you are, your responsibility to the

1525
01:36:09,781 --> 01:36:11,781
agency.

1526
01:36:11,781 --> 01:36:14,781
you have fiduciary responsibilities and wondering what

1527
01:36:14,781 --> 01:36:18,781
is on the balance sheet and certainly these projects are

1528
01:36:18,781 --> 01:36:20,781
underneath that.

1529
01:36:23,781 --> 01:36:24,781
but, the way this program was structured the affordable

1530
01:36:24,781 --> 01:36:29,581
housing program recognize the complexity of these types

1531
01:36:30,781 --> 01:36:31,781
of projects.

1532
01:36:31,781 --> 01:36:35,381
their $14 million 20 million with multiple stakeholders

1533
01:36:41,781 --> 01:36:42,781
and dozens of not hundreds of residents and oversight

1534
01:36:42,781 --> 01:36:43,781
from a number of different places and the reality of

1535
01:36:43,781 --> 01:36:49,181
managing that level of exposure and complexity, that is

1536
01:36:50,721 --> 01:36:51,721
not where our board can fit in.

1537
01:36:51,721 --> 01:36:57,721
a board is really intended to again have oversight from

1538
01:37:02,721 --> 01:37:03,721
the agencies.

1539
01:37:03,721 --> 01:37:04,721
you have a mandate to look what is relevant.

1540
01:37:04,721 --> 01:37:05,721
if you have this corporation is kind of managing its

1541
01:37:05,721 --> 01:37:12,321
affairs there's really no need or reason to be caught up

1542
01:37:12,721 --> 01:37:13,721
in the stuff that they are doing.

1543
01:37:13,721 --> 01:37:14,721
your involvement is in the things where it costs is

1544
01:37:14,721 --> 01:37:15,721
over.

1545
01:37:15,721 --> 01:37:17,721
the guarantees and feel the loans.

1546
01:37:17,721 --> 01:37:20,721
the three kind of primary ways that they are directly

1547
01:37:20,721 --> 01:37:26,121
involved as we saw before is as a guarantor.

1548
01:37:31,721 --> 01:37:32,721
as a board of commissioners of the agency, you should

1549
01:37:32,721 --> 01:37:33,721
know that these exist know what it means to guarantee a

1550
01:37:33,721 --> 01:37:39,721
loan and know what it means to guarantees on these

1551
01:37:42,721 --> 01:37:43,721
investments so if you prior to guarantee your

1552
01:37:43,721 --> 01:37:44,721
responsible for kind of knowing what it means and the

1553
01:37:44,721 --> 01:37:47,721
exposure it carries with it.

1554
01:37:56,721 --> 01:37:57,721
as I said, they're expensive and complicated properties

1555
01:37:57,721 --> 01:37:58,721
and some of that cost is usually paid with a loan.

1556
01:37:58,721 --> 01:37:59,721
just like the mortgage on your house.

1557
01:37:59,721 --> 01:38:00,721
you have to take out a loan from a bank typically and

1558
01:38:00,721 --> 01:38:01,721
whoever's given the loan wants to be sure that they get

1559
01:38:01,721 --> 01:38:06,521
paid back similarly whoever's making in the specimen

1560
01:38:11,721 --> 01:38:12,721
want to make sure that they're getting what they said

1561
01:38:12,721 --> 01:38:13,721
and because these little h dc as we talked before, the

1562
01:38:13,721 --> 01:38:14,721
only little the property but they don't have a lot of

1563
01:38:14,721 --> 01:38:19,521
history they don't have credibility and they're saying,

1564
01:38:21,721 --> 01:38:25,721
we are kind of cosigning we will step in and fill that

1565
01:38:25,721 --> 01:38:29,321
role as a back stop partner.

1566
01:38:36,721 --> 01:38:37,721
>> if I might just link this today's agenda.

1567
01:38:37,721 --> 01:38:38,721
on today's agenda when you approve the consent calendar

1568
01:38:38,721 --> 01:38:41,121
there are two reports.

1569
01:38:43,721 --> 01:38:44,721
one on laurel grove and one on park avenue.

1570
01:38:44,721 --> 01:38:50,661
when you read the background section it saiz, the reason

1571
01:38:50,661 --> 01:38:51,661
we are telling you about this is because I housing

1572
01:38:51,661 --> 01:38:54,661
authority has guaranteed construction and together this

1573
01:38:54,661 --> 01:38:57,661
is $100 million worth of construction.

1574
01:39:03,661 --> 01:39:04,661
you are oversight and the reason were giving you these

1575
01:39:04,661 --> 01:39:05,661
court reports on construction is because if there is a

1576
01:39:05,661 --> 01:39:07,661
problem with construction the expectation by the lender

1577
01:39:07,661 --> 01:39:13,661
is that the housing authority will step in and provide

1578
01:39:13,661 --> 01:39:14,661
whatever remedy is needed to make sure those buildings

1579
01:39:14,661 --> 01:39:18,261
go up and the longest repay.

1580
01:39:18,661 --> 01:39:19,661
okay?

1581
01:39:19,661 --> 01:39:22,661
kind of link it to today's agenda.

1582
01:39:22,661 --> 01:39:24,661
>> yes.

1583
01:39:26,661 --> 01:39:27,661
just a little note here.

1584
01:39:27,661 --> 01:39:32,461
this is actually kind of a good thing.

1585
01:39:36,661 --> 01:39:37,661
it gives them sort of the ability if something were to

1586
01:39:37,661 --> 01:39:38,661
go wrong with the property to kind of step in between

1587
01:39:38,661 --> 01:39:39,661
before the property got lost to the bank before closing

1588
01:39:39,661 --> 01:39:41,661
on it.

1589
01:39:52,601 --> 01:39:55,601
one of the --the second weather involved is like a land

1590
01:39:55,601 --> 01:39:57,601
lesser.

1591
01:40:15,601 --> 01:40:16,601
releases or land leases again, as a member of the board

1592
01:40:16,601 --> 01:40:17,601
of commissioners know that this exist know what a land

1593
01:40:17,601 --> 01:40:18,601
lease is spirits is exactly how it sounds and it saiz

1594
01:40:18,601 --> 01:40:19,601
come here some land I'm going to keep owning the land

1595
01:40:19,601 --> 01:40:20,601
and you can pay me rent on it and then you have certain

1596
01:40:20,601 --> 01:40:21,601
rights to do things on top of my land.

1597
01:40:21,601 --> 01:40:25,601
>> I think my fingers might be too big.

1598
01:40:25,601 --> 01:40:31,601
this can be a reason to engage its party just again to

1599
01:40:31,601 --> 01:40:35,601
keep cost down this is a very expensive environment that

1600
01:40:35,601 --> 01:40:38,100
you guys operate in.

1601
01:40:38,601 --> 01:40:44,601
certainly, having the ability as an entity to kind of

1602
01:40:53,541 --> 01:40:54,541
take the cost of land out of the cost of building a

1603
01:40:54,541 --> 01:40:55,541
property is great.

1604
01:40:55,541 --> 01:40:56,541
it allows the property to be built less expensively and

1605
01:40:56,541 --> 01:40:57,541
serve two people with lower incomes.

1606
01:40:57,541 --> 01:40:59,941
>> had to step in.

1607
01:41:00,541 --> 01:41:01,541
I want to give another illustration.

1608
01:41:01,541 --> 01:41:02,541
we have one property in our portfolio where we do not

1609
01:41:02,541 --> 01:41:04,541
own the land.

1610
01:41:04,541 --> 01:41:08,141
and that's the d rose apartments.

1611
01:41:09,541 --> 01:41:10,541
as elaine noted you can keep the operating costs of a

1612
01:41:10,541 --> 01:41:15,541
project down with kind of a below market lease right?

1613
01:41:15,541 --> 01:41:21,541
the lease revenues are basically are taken out of the

1614
01:41:21,541 --> 01:41:28,141
equation so folks are paying the rent this is an asset

1615
01:41:30,541 --> 01:41:31,541
management issue that we will need to be bringing to you

1616
01:41:31,541 --> 01:41:33,541
in the next few months to resolve because that lease

1617
01:41:33,541 --> 01:41:37,541
that this family owns is supposed to go to a market rate

1618
01:41:37,541 --> 01:41:39,541
level.

1619
01:41:41,541 --> 01:41:46,541
that would not be a sustainable read payment for us to

1620
01:41:46,541 --> 01:41:50,741
keep those folks in the income housing.

1621
01:41:52,481 --> 01:41:53,481
just so you know, we have one property where we do not

1622
01:41:53,481 --> 01:41:55,481
own the land.

1623
01:41:55,481 --> 01:41:57,481
>> actually, exactly.

1624
01:42:00,481 --> 01:42:05,481
they can set up these leases to be below market.

1625
01:42:05,481 --> 01:42:08,481
much less expenses what it would be you can probably get

1626
01:42:08,481 --> 01:42:13,481
a quite a bit of money and buy them being the landlord

1627
01:42:13,481 --> 01:42:20,810
on it can actually a lot to be less expensive unless

1628
01:42:23,481 --> 01:42:24,481
kind of invasive.

1629
01:42:24,481 --> 01:42:25,481
they can say, I'm more than happy for you to put the

1630
01:42:25,481 --> 01:42:28,481
affordable housing on the land.

1631
01:42:30,481 --> 01:42:31,481
they can say yes, have a land I will lease it to you for

1632
01:42:31,481 --> 01:42:33,481
a dollar year or whatever and I will not interact I will

1633
01:42:33,481 --> 01:42:39,481
not sort of disrupt how you operate I was in the

1634
01:42:39,481 --> 01:42:42,481
background and you can operate on your own as a company

1635
01:42:42,481 --> 01:42:44,481
providing affordable housing.

1636
01:42:47,481 --> 01:42:51,681
>> the last one is a gap lender.

1637
01:42:58,421 --> 01:42:59,421
again as a board of commissioners know that these exist

1638
01:42:59,421 --> 01:43:00,421
and know how a loan work.

1639
01:43:00,421 --> 01:43:05,421
it's typically someone who recognizing, we found all the

1640
01:43:05,421 --> 01:43:06,421
money that we found but I need more.

1641
01:43:06,421 --> 01:43:13,421
usually a state, a city or not profit will say, yes, I

1642
01:43:13,421 --> 01:43:14,421
will take this little piece else that you can still do

1643
01:43:14,421 --> 01:43:18,621
the project that you want to do.

1644
01:43:25,421 --> 01:43:26,421
you are accepting an iou from whatever that difference

1645
01:43:26,421 --> 01:43:27,421
is.

1646
01:43:27,421 --> 01:43:29,421
so hey, we found all the money that we could.

1647
01:43:29,421 --> 01:43:30,421
and they will say, okay here's a little iou for $1

1648
01:43:30,421 --> 01:43:32,421
million.

1649
01:43:35,421 --> 01:43:36,421
this is how it self is involved.

1650
01:43:36,421 --> 01:43:42,421
but again, these are quiet little, the operate in the

1651
01:43:48,421 --> 01:43:49,361
background.

1652
01:43:49,361 --> 01:43:50,361
the back round is not having to make payments on this

1653
01:43:50,361 --> 01:43:51,361
loan.

1654
01:43:51,361 --> 01:43:52,361
and so having a big loan from some financial institute

1655
01:43:52,361 --> 01:43:53,361
that wants get paid every month, this can make the costs

1656
01:43:53,361 --> 01:43:55,761
overall feel more less-expensive.

1657
01:43:57,361 --> 01:43:58,361
typically, these are soft loans and we talk about soft

1658
01:43:58,361 --> 01:44:03,761
loans again basically means you don't have to make

1659
01:44:06,361 --> 01:44:07,361
payments on these unless there sufficient money

1660
01:44:07,361 --> 01:44:08,361
available.

1661
01:44:08,361 --> 01:44:13,361
these are real loans about them they are legal contracts

1662
01:44:13,361 --> 01:44:20,561
and they are real and the typical are more gentle on the

1663
01:44:22,361 --> 01:44:23,361
building or the property that carries them.

1664
01:44:23,361 --> 01:44:28,761
again, payments are not required on an ongoing basis.

1665
01:44:31,361 --> 01:44:32,361
>> a hard loan is a mandatory payment that needs to be

1666
01:44:32,361 --> 01:44:37,361
made every month or the lender will foreclose on the

1667
01:44:37,361 --> 01:44:38,361
property.

1668
01:44:38,361 --> 01:44:39,361
a false loan saying only pay me if you have the money to

1669
01:44:39,361 --> 01:44:45,961
pay it but because the loan is given in exchange for

1670
01:44:46,361 --> 01:44:47,361
serving a low income population, the lender's mission is

1671
01:44:47,361 --> 01:44:49,361
so filled.

1672
01:44:50,301 --> 01:44:56,901
by way of example there was recently a pocket here call

1673
01:44:58,301 --> 01:44:59,301
2nd st.

1674
01:44:59,301 --> 01:45:00,301
studios which is going to be over 100 permanent support

1675
01:45:00,301 --> 01:45:03,301
housing units and we put project-based voucher for that

1676
01:45:03,301 --> 01:45:05,301
project.

1677
01:45:09,301 --> 01:45:15,301
they did not secure the tax credit founding seeing after

1678
01:45:18,301 --> 01:45:19,301
the no november 8 election the tax credit market took a

1679
01:45:19,301 --> 01:45:25,901
dive and all of a sudden they had $2.5 million that they

1680
01:45:27,301 --> 01:45:28,301
needed to come up with that they did not have the city

1681
01:45:28,301 --> 01:45:29,301
of san jose step forward with some other federal funds

1682
01:45:29,301 --> 01:45:36,501
that they have and they said we will loan you this money

1683
01:45:39,301 --> 01:45:40,301
because this project is very important to us and it's

1684
01:45:40,301 --> 01:45:41,301
going to go up and don't worry, you have to make a loan

1685
01:45:41,301 --> 01:45:42,301
payment unless a revenues that you collect are enough

1686
01:45:42,301 --> 01:45:48,301
not only to pay your operating expenses but also 10th

1687
01:45:50,241 --> 01:45:51,241
flow down to us.

1688
01:45:51,241 --> 01:45:52,241
what the city of san jose is in return they are getting

1689
01:45:52,241 --> 01:45:54,241
100 units of permanent supportive housing and the

1690
01:45:54,241 --> 01:45:57,841
community that will serve their residence.

1691
01:46:00,241 --> 01:46:01,241
>> and just to add onto that many tax credit properties

1692
01:46:01,241 --> 01:46:05,241
nationwide they don't get built without the soft loans

1693
01:46:05,241 --> 01:46:09,241
they are just so expensive that in addition to the cash

1694
01:46:09,241 --> 01:46:15,241
that you receive for the tax credit and a conventional

1695
01:46:16,241 --> 01:46:17,241
loan that you get from a bank you have to get the soft

1696
01:46:17,241 --> 01:46:21,241
loans as well to get those built these soft loan

1697
01:46:21,241 --> 01:46:27,241
providers are typically public agencies they can be at a

1698
01:46:32,241 --> 01:46:33,241
state level a local level and catherine's example you

1699
01:46:33,241 --> 01:46:34,241
have a big soft lender in town that provides a soft

1700
01:46:34,241 --> 01:46:38,241
loans to lotta properties again as catherine mentioned,

1701
01:46:38,241 --> 01:46:41,241
whatever's left after you pay your first loan your hard

1702
01:46:41,241 --> 01:46:47,841
tap must be paid and that is what typically goes to

1703
01:46:54,181 --> 01:46:55,181
paying the soft loans.

1704
01:46:55,181 --> 01:46:56,181
because you have a mission lender involved they are

1705
01:46:56,181 --> 01:46:57,181
usually not as strict about getting repaid as a bank

1706
01:46:57,181 --> 01:46:59,181
will be.

1707
01:47:04,181 --> 01:47:05,181
>> okay.

1708
01:47:05,181 --> 01:47:09,181
they just went through several slides talking about your

1709
01:47:09,181 --> 01:47:13,981
relationship and properties from ground leases to gap

1710
01:47:18,181 --> 01:47:19,181
financing and other ways that you have to think about

1711
01:47:19,181 --> 01:47:23,181
your exposure and how you finance your properties.

1712
01:47:23,181 --> 01:47:28,181
in this slide we want to talk about how the properties,

1713
01:47:28,181 --> 01:47:33,181
how you over see the properties and two important

1714
01:47:33,181 --> 01:47:34,181
takeaways.

1715
01:47:34,181 --> 01:47:38,181
I will same now and all same again.

1716
01:47:38,181 --> 01:47:42,981
two important takeaways want to leave with these

1717
01:47:44,181 --> 01:47:45,181
properties involve a lot of oversight, a lot of

1718
01:47:45,181 --> 01:47:49,181
specialized expertise you have tons of folks here at the

1719
01:47:49,181 --> 01:47:53,981
agency who are responsible for monitoring the properties

1720
01:47:54,181 --> 01:48:00,781
in a host of ways and it's important to recognize what

1721
01:48:01,181 --> 01:48:02,181
those folks who work here at the central office are

1722
01:48:02,181 --> 01:48:08,181
charged with in relation to your role as board members.

1723
01:48:09,181 --> 01:48:10,181
this is important for any housing authority that owns

1724
01:48:10,181 --> 01:48:12,181
real estate.

1725
01:48:19,181 --> 01:48:20,181
as elaine has mentioned, they are financial implications

1726
01:48:20,181 --> 01:48:27,981
as a lender as a guarantor as a land lessor each of the

1727
01:48:31,181 --> 01:48:32,181
members with limited partnerships to go with you to the

1728
01:48:32,181 --> 01:48:36,381
properties there are similar properties in your

1729
01:48:39,181 --> 01:48:43,981
portfolio each property has a variety of financing

1730
01:48:52,121 --> 01:48:53,121
sources you have conventional loans you have soft loans

1731
01:48:53,121 --> 01:48:54,121
from local lenders you may have a loan from the housing

1732
01:48:54,121 --> 01:48:59,121
authority and you may have a rental assistant contract

1733
01:48:59,121 --> 01:49:05,121
funded by the federal government so you may have a

1734
01:49:05,121 --> 01:49:06,121
section a contract if it's a tax credit property like

1735
01:49:06,121 --> 01:49:11,121
many of your assets you will have a tax credit investor

1736
01:49:11,121 --> 01:49:17,121
in the properties, you may also have bond financing from

1737
01:49:19,121 --> 01:49:20,121
other sources.

1738
01:49:20,121 --> 01:49:21,121
again, we talked about land leases which bring a host of

1739
01:49:21,121 --> 01:49:25,921
responsibilities for each of those boxes what were

1740
01:49:33,121 --> 01:49:34,121
trying to illustrate is how different all the properties

1741
01:49:34,121 --> 01:49:35,121
can be.

1742
01:49:35,121 --> 01:49:36,121
different sources, different loans from different

1743
01:49:36,121 --> 01:49:37,121
vendors you may also have a services agreement with the

1744
01:49:37,121 --> 01:49:43,121
city that's in the third box for the third property so,

1745
01:49:43,121 --> 01:49:48,521
just a host of financial responsibilities to the capital

1746
01:49:53,610 --> 01:49:54,610
providers compliance responsibilities to public agencies

1747
01:49:54,610 --> 01:49:55,610
for instance if you have a loan from the city of san

1748
01:49:55,610 --> 01:49:58,610
jose they have their own affordably requirements for

1749
01:49:58,610 --> 01:50:03,461
rent and income compliance rate your staff members and

1750
01:50:05,610 --> 01:50:09,610
your asset managers have to be monitoring constantly so

1751
01:50:09,610 --> 01:50:12,610
they can remain in compliance.

1752
01:50:12,610 --> 01:50:17,610
every single deal is different and this may not be

1753
01:50:17,610 --> 01:50:18,610
rocket science but there is a lot that goes with every

1754
01:50:18,610 --> 01:50:20,610
single property.

1755
01:50:22,610 --> 01:50:29,261
the force point going back to the major take away when I

1756
01:50:35,610 --> 01:50:36,610
started to slide, is that as board members you cannot

1757
01:50:36,610 --> 01:50:37,610
really get bogged down on the ongoing operations at the

1758
01:50:37,610 --> 01:50:38,610
property level.

1759
01:50:38,610 --> 01:50:41,610
you have a whole team of folks who are specialized who

1760
01:50:41,610 --> 01:50:47,661
are good at what they do and overseen some of these

1761
01:50:48,610 --> 01:50:49,100
responsibilities so think of yourself as very high-level

1762
01:50:49,100 --> 01:50:54,401
managers or general-- in an army if you're gen.

1763
01:50:58,100 --> 01:51:03,401
eisenhower world war ii, we can have you-- storm

1764
01:51:10,100 --> 01:51:13,601
normandy beach with the foot soldiers.

1765
01:51:14,100 --> 01:51:17,100
think of yourself as just overseen their exposure at a

1766
01:51:17,100 --> 01:51:21,100
very high level that are worrying about all these

1767
01:51:21,100 --> 01:51:23,100
details.

1768
01:51:29,100 --> 01:51:30,100
what you should be thinking about a course is the

1769
01:51:30,100 --> 01:51:31,100
information that you do get on these properties so you

1770
01:51:31,100 --> 01:51:36,401
could make important decisions in a couple of minutes

1771
01:51:37,100 --> 01:51:38,100
elaine will be talking about that.

1772
01:51:38,100 --> 01:51:44,100
when you get together and you have these board meetings

1773
01:51:46,100 --> 01:51:49,100
and to have enough information.

1774
01:52:07,941 --> 01:52:12,741
>> I just want to check on time yes.

1775
01:53:16,881 --> 01:53:20,881
the team keeps tracks of all this so they look what are

1776
01:53:20,881 --> 01:53:21,881
they doing?

1777
01:53:21,881 --> 01:53:26,881
they're involved in all the meetings and boards to

1778
01:53:26,881 --> 01:53:27,881
report to the board and provide information they make

1779
01:53:27,881 --> 01:53:32,881
sure that things are being done correctly and on time.

1780
01:53:32,881 --> 01:53:33,881
they look at property performance and again, these are

1781
01:53:33,881 --> 01:53:37,481
supposed to be little self-contained companies.

1782
01:53:43,881 --> 01:53:44,881
they're trying to look at their breaking even are losing

1783
01:53:44,881 --> 01:53:45,881
money.

1784
01:53:45,881 --> 01:53:46,881
if they are, as a reason for that, what we can do about

1785
01:53:46,881 --> 01:53:52,281
it another making money, is that a good thing?

1786
01:53:53,821 --> 01:53:54,821
what can we expect next year or is it going to continue

1787
01:53:54,821 --> 01:53:56,821
in the future.

1788
01:53:58,821 --> 01:53:59,821
they are very involved in the ongoing and daily

1789
01:53:59,821 --> 01:54:03,421
decisions about all of this stuff.

1790
01:54:14,821 --> 01:54:15,821
property management is very much served on the front

1791
01:54:15,821 --> 01:54:16,821
line at each property so the asset management team

1792
01:54:16,821 --> 01:54:17,821
creates the yearly budget as well with the finance

1793
01:54:17,821 --> 01:54:19,821
department that is very involved and clear about what

1794
01:54:19,821 --> 01:54:23,821
numbers need to be met and where the numbers come from.

1795
01:54:23,821 --> 01:54:24,821
the group is creating these budget and monitoring

1796
01:54:24,821 --> 01:54:29,210
whether there being stuck to a budget.

1797
01:54:30,821 --> 01:54:35,621
insulin is useful if you're sticking to it.

1798
01:54:35,821 --> 01:54:36,821
and the group is also looking at tenant issues property

1799
01:54:36,821 --> 01:54:41,621
management handles some things and are the buildings

1800
01:54:42,821 --> 01:54:45,221
being taken care of?

1801
01:54:45,821 --> 01:54:50,621
again, these are large expensive investments and so,

1802
01:55:05,761 --> 01:55:06,761
part of what they need to be concerned about what they

1803
01:55:06,761 --> 01:55:07,761
need to do is these are investments these are our

1804
01:55:07,761 --> 01:55:08,761
factory leases how we run our business.

1805
01:55:08,761 --> 01:55:09,761
are we taking care of our investment?

1806
01:55:09,761 --> 01:55:10,761
that is very much central to what they are doing and

1807
01:55:10,761 --> 01:55:11,761
what they're there for.

1808
01:55:11,761 --> 01:55:12,761
what's the most appropriate way to involve a board of

1809
01:55:12,761 --> 01:55:14,761
commissioners.

1810
01:55:16,761 --> 01:55:17,761
we talked about using your time and expertise

1811
01:55:17,761 --> 01:55:21,961
efficiently and using their time as well.

1812
01:55:31,761 --> 01:55:32,761
nobody want to neglect the things that are important

1813
01:55:32,761 --> 01:55:33,761
nobody wants stuff to get missed but nobody wants to

1814
01:55:33,761 --> 01:55:34,761
have five people doing the same thing over and over

1815
01:55:34,761 --> 01:55:35,761
again.

1816
01:55:35,761 --> 01:55:37,761
what is appropriate, what is comprehensive?

1817
01:55:37,761 --> 01:55:43,761
the part, what we've seen with been working with this

1818
01:55:51,701 --> 01:55:52,701
group and what were seen is how do we make sure that

1819
01:55:52,701 --> 01:55:53,701
what the asset management group spencer time on is the

1820
01:55:53,701 --> 01:55:54,701
right thing.

1821
01:55:54,701 --> 01:55:55,701
when there are new inquiries or analysis to be done are

1822
01:55:55,701 --> 01:55:58,701
those things are actually cannot drive an impact or the

1823
01:55:58,701 --> 01:56:01,701
things that we were esi question have a good answer how

1824
01:56:01,701 --> 01:56:05,701
can they responsibly overseen these properties without

1825
01:56:05,701 --> 01:56:09,301
making extra work or distracting focus.

1826
01:56:22,701 --> 01:56:23,701
in the asset management function is kind of doing new

1827
01:56:23,701 --> 01:56:24,701
assessments they may be less able to do what they are

1828
01:56:24,701 --> 01:56:25,701
regularly and routinely focusing on.

1829
01:56:25,701 --> 01:56:27,701
trying to balance the new demands and existing demands.

1830
01:56:27,701 --> 01:56:32,501
when we work with housing authorities nobody wants

1831
01:56:47,701 --> 01:56:51,641
afflicted with information that sells to interpret

1832
01:56:51,641 --> 01:56:54,641
because there's pretty good evidence to suggest that too

1833
01:56:54,641 --> 01:56:57,641
much data makes bad decision.

1834
01:56:57,641 --> 01:57:01,641
having the right amount of the information that is

1835
01:57:01,641 --> 01:57:05,641
relevant and that you can look at it.

1836
01:57:05,641 --> 01:57:10,441
you already received some you may receive additional

1837
01:57:12,641 --> 01:57:17,641
really the focus is on getting information that lets you

1838
01:57:17,641 --> 01:57:19,641
make the decision

1839
01:59:16,581 --> 01:59:21,981
>> I have a comment and there's a history here.

1840
01:59:24,581 --> 01:59:25,581
because we had several of side projects and we were

1841
01:59:25,581 --> 01:59:28,581
paying for the operating shortfall.

1842
01:59:31,581 --> 01:59:35,581
we found out that we can do that and we had to find the

1843
01:59:35,581 --> 01:59:38,581
funds to cover the property.

1844
01:59:53,521 --> 01:59:58,521
this was a process that we learned a lot about.

1845
01:59:58,521 --> 02:00:02,521
what we need to know just in the general when you're

1846
02:00:02,521 --> 02:00:08,521
looking at the conversation this my going to a dashboard

1847
02:00:11,521 --> 02:00:12,521
really what we need and what we've gotten consistently

1848
02:00:12,521 --> 02:00:13,521
from staff we need to know when there's a potential

1849
02:00:13,521 --> 02:00:15,521
problem and we need to know when several properties are

1850
02:00:15,521 --> 02:00:20,521
upside down and that work and what we had to do to cut

1851
02:00:20,521 --> 02:00:25,921
costs and get our operating flow appropriate console in.

1852
02:00:29,521 --> 02:00:35,521
when there are buyouts at the end with times and issues

1853
02:00:35,521 --> 02:00:41,521
on these prepare properties staff is, what I would like

1854
02:00:44,521 --> 02:00:45,521
to see I don't need to know a lot.

1855
02:00:45,521 --> 02:00:50,321
we already have some information as you mentioned.

1856
02:00:54,461 --> 02:00:55,461
we look at each property and we see some kind of

1857
02:00:55,461 --> 02:00:56,461
information and tell you were going to go upside down or

1858
02:00:56,461 --> 02:00:57,461
anything like that.

1859
02:00:57,461 --> 02:00:58,461
basically what I want first and foremost to be something

1860
02:00:58,461 --> 02:01:03,261
that would be do we have a problem?

1861
02:01:07,461 --> 02:01:12,261
I don't need a lot like a portfolio.

1862
02:01:18,461 --> 02:01:25,461
and they say you have a risk but the risk wasn't remote.

1863
02:01:25,461 --> 02:01:32,610
there's a lot of money over these projects but it wasn't

1864
02:01:32,461 --> 02:01:33,461
a individual canet risk that we had to ask right away.

1865
02:01:33,461 --> 02:01:40,610
I need to think harder but I'm looking at primarily gave

1866
02:01:42,461 --> 02:01:43,461
early warning.

1867
02:01:43,461 --> 02:01:44,461
is there a problem with the property.

1868
02:01:44,461 --> 02:01:45,461
it can be a legal problem and operational problem it can

1869
02:01:45,461 --> 02:01:47,461
be a problem with the folks who counteracted to do the

1870
02:01:47,461 --> 02:01:49,861
property management for us.

1871
02:01:57,401 --> 02:01:58,401
and you guys have been doing a good job of that so I do

1872
02:01:58,401 --> 02:01:59,401
not know what else we need but that was p first thing

1873
02:01:59,401 --> 02:02:01,401
for the dashboard.

1874
02:02:03,401 --> 02:02:04,401
>> I think you're taking it exactly right.

1875
02:02:04,401 --> 02:02:08,401
that is the right question to be asking let me know when

1876
02:02:08,401 --> 02:02:09,401
there's a risk and when it's coming down the pike and

1877
02:02:09,401 --> 02:02:11,801
how real it is.

1878
02:02:12,401 --> 02:02:16,401
and a lot of we've been talking with the crew is I would

1879
02:02:16,401 --> 02:02:17,401
focus on this in particular and different ways of

1880
02:02:17,401 --> 02:02:19,401
displaying it.

1881
02:02:24,401 --> 02:02:25,401
a lot of organization in the industry and a lot that we

1882
02:02:25,401 --> 02:02:29,100
work with do something like that.

1883
02:02:30,401 --> 02:02:31,401
what we call risk rating or just sort of, something

1884
02:02:31,401 --> 02:02:34,401
that's intending to do exactly what describing.

1885
02:02:34,401 --> 02:02:39,201
give a comprehensive look at very different omissions

1886
02:02:54,341 --> 02:02:55,341
were risk can come from.

1887
02:02:55,341 --> 02:02:56,341
financial risk, fire, as their asbestos, physical risk,

1888
02:02:56,341 --> 02:02:57,341
litigation risk, market risk.

1889
02:02:57,341 --> 02:02:58,341
to have a building that they're putting the railroad

1890
02:02:58,341 --> 02:02:59,341
tracks right next door to it.

1891
02:02:59,341 --> 02:03:05,341
those are all risks and those can be tracked easily.

1892
02:03:05,341 --> 02:03:11,941
to be able to distill those and to something that is

1893
02:03:14,341 --> 02:03:15,341
again easy for a viewer to parse on the portfolio level

1894
02:03:15,341 --> 02:03:18,341
so yes, that is something that the organization is

1895
02:03:18,341 --> 02:03:20,741
looking at and incorporate.

1896
02:03:26,341 --> 02:03:27,341
>> the point is, the information that board members are

1897
02:03:27,341 --> 02:03:32,741
regularly getting it's not just about helping you make

1898
02:03:33,341 --> 02:03:38,741
decisions but also about helping you sleep at night.

1899
02:03:40,341 --> 02:03:41,341
so that you will not be surprised.

1900
02:03:41,341 --> 02:03:44,341
you never want to be surprised about a major issue.

1901
02:03:44,341 --> 02:03:47,341
and the type of asset management that we been working

1902
02:03:47,341 --> 02:03:54,541
with his proactive and to make sure we get a met small

1903
02:03:58,281 --> 02:03:59,281
problems and through the process we can certainly feed

1904
02:03:59,281 --> 02:04:03,481
the right proactive information into these dashboard

1905
02:04:06,281 --> 02:04:07,281
reports.

1906
02:04:07,281 --> 02:04:08,281
even if you can't do anything about it or you have to

1907
02:04:08,281 --> 02:04:09,281
make a decision at least you know what's happening and

1908
02:04:09,281 --> 02:04:10,281
you know someone is taking care of it.

1909
02:04:10,281 --> 02:04:14,281
we hear you loud and clearly on that point.

1910
02:04:14,281 --> 02:04:17,881
>> do we have some dashboard options?

1911
02:04:23,281 --> 02:04:24,281
>> I believe we do, yes.

1912
02:04:24,281 --> 02:04:25,281
we do.

1913
02:04:25,281 --> 02:04:27,281
>> sometimes you have is in on a problem.

1914
02:04:27,281 --> 02:04:31,281
if there is a real issue coming up, you just cannot mask

1915
02:04:31,281 --> 02:04:33,281
it.

1916
02:04:35,281 --> 02:04:36,281
sometimes you need a narrative on what's about to happen

1917
02:04:36,281 --> 02:04:41,681
because that's issue may be really big the important

1918
02:04:43,281 --> 02:04:44,281
thing here is a informed.

1919
02:04:44,281 --> 02:04:45,281
were trying to work together make sure you have that

1920
02:04:45,281 --> 02:04:47,281
type are reported.

1921
02:04:48,221 --> 02:04:51,221
>> that kind of leads of what my thought of this report

1922
02:04:51,221 --> 02:04:54,821
is what's really well illustrated here.

1923
02:04:55,221 --> 02:05:00,621
having the substance information for us is critical one

1924
02:05:01,221 --> 02:05:06,221
thing that I would think, it's not liking but one thing

1925
02:05:06,221 --> 02:05:12,221
that brought to mind is that the human element of this

1926
02:05:12,221 --> 02:05:16,221
report and we are dealing on a daily basis families and

1927
02:05:16,221 --> 02:05:18,621
individuals and leaving environments.

1928
02:05:24,221 --> 02:05:29,621
what kind of supportive services are provided for our

1929
02:05:30,221 --> 02:05:36,221
tenants or these tenants on these properties I do not

1930
02:05:38,221 --> 02:05:39,221
want to get into the weeds again you guys have

1931
02:05:39,221 --> 02:05:41,221
incredible staff that sitting with this but, just

1932
02:05:41,221 --> 02:05:46,621
looking at the risk management and the dashboard there.

1933
02:05:57,161 --> 02:05:58,161
that's what was brought to my mind.

1934
02:05:58,161 --> 02:05:59,161
>> we do a yearly report on our services and so I think

1935
02:05:59,161 --> 02:06:05,161
as a part of the dashboard we should take into account

1936
02:06:05,161 --> 02:06:06,161
because there's two things we do.

1937
02:06:06,161 --> 02:06:10,161
the resident survey and then a report from life steps.

1938
02:06:10,161 --> 02:06:11,161
to integrate into this we should look at those reports

1939
02:06:11,161 --> 02:06:17,161
and determine whether yearly is enough, it is for the

1940
02:06:17,161 --> 02:06:20,161
resident survey because we do it once a year.

1941
02:06:20,161 --> 02:06:24,961
but, perhaps some performance measures on the services

1942
02:06:34,161 --> 02:06:35,161
front would be helpful.

1943
02:06:35,161 --> 02:06:36,161
right now they come once a year and we combined it with

1944
02:06:36,161 --> 02:06:37,161
the family self-sufficiency program which can be a

1945
02:06:37,161 --> 02:06:39,161
little bit confusion.

1946
02:06:39,161 --> 02:06:43,161
the family program is under the umbrella of section 8 so

1947
02:06:43,161 --> 02:06:49,101
there's a convenience and having them come in on one day

1948
02:06:49,101 --> 02:06:50,101
and do this report.

1949
02:06:50,101 --> 02:06:51,101
but it could be a little confusion when they merge it

1950
02:06:51,101 --> 02:06:53,101
into one powerpoint.

1951
02:06:57,101 --> 02:06:58,101
we can look at that, that's a helpful comment.

1952
02:06:58,101 --> 02:06:59,101
>> I also want to make sure is that when we look at

1953
02:06:59,101 --> 02:07:03,901
services we look at outcomes and not outputs.

1954
02:07:04,101 --> 02:07:08,301
again, that was one of the criticisms.

1955
02:07:13,101 --> 02:07:19,101
many times we do not see what are the outcomes.

1956
02:07:23,101 --> 02:07:24,101
measurable outcomes.

1957
02:07:24,101 --> 02:07:27,101
>> I conclude with that because I think with asset

1958
02:07:27,101 --> 02:07:33,101
management a property could be improved on the amount I

1959
02:07:35,101 --> 02:07:39,101
don't know, I'm not a realist --realtor but just the

1960
02:07:39,101 --> 02:07:41,501
health of the tenants.

1961
02:07:42,101 --> 02:07:46,301
I think that would improve a property.

1962
02:08:05,101 --> 02:08:06,101
>> may I get a copy of this?

1963
02:08:06,101 --> 02:08:07,101
>> sure.

1964
02:08:07,101 --> 02:08:08,101
we will make it available, absolutely.

1965
02:08:08,101 --> 02:08:09,101
elizabeth the two quick points on that.

1966
02:08:09,101 --> 02:08:10,101
I thought it was a great comment when we think about

1967
02:08:10,101 --> 02:08:11,101
asset management at our company we do not see it as a

1968
02:08:11,101 --> 02:08:13,101
one size fits all function.

1969
02:08:13,101 --> 02:08:14,101
asset management depends on the organization and what's

1970
02:08:14,101 --> 02:08:16,101
important to you.

1971
02:08:17,101 --> 02:08:18,101
we spent a lot of time about the operational aspects

1972
02:08:18,101 --> 02:08:22,901
mainly because we feel that throughout the industry

1973
02:08:24,101 --> 02:08:25,101
there is not enough focus on that especially among

1974
02:08:25,101 --> 02:08:27,101
housing authorities.

1975
02:08:28,101 --> 02:08:32,301
asset management is comprehensive it's really anything

1976
02:08:34,101 --> 02:08:35,101
that affects the health of the community it's not just

1977
02:08:35,101 --> 02:08:39,101
the dollars it's just not sticks and bricks.

1978
02:08:39,101 --> 02:08:43,101
it's also the communities that you're serving and

1979
02:08:43,101 --> 02:08:45,101
resident satisfaction.

1980
02:08:53,410 --> 02:08:54,410
we understand that it's an important piece for them and

1981
02:08:54,410 --> 02:08:55,410
other mission organizations.

1982
02:08:55,410 --> 02:08:58,410
we didn't spend a lot of time talking about that because

1983
02:08:58,410 --> 02:09:04,641
you guys are key in on that and that's what catherine

1984
02:09:08,410 --> 02:09:09,410
was a first them to respond to it because we know that

1985
02:09:09,410 --> 02:09:10,410
you're thinking about it but we are working together to

1986
02:09:10,410 --> 02:09:11,410
make sure it's folded into the dashboards and other

1987
02:09:11,410 --> 02:09:13,410
reporting.

1988
02:09:13,410 --> 02:09:14,410
>> there are some things that are not captured like for

1989
02:09:14,410 --> 02:09:19,441
instance, you mentioned that you were looking at the

1990
02:09:20,410 --> 02:09:24,410
balconies because the contractor in berkeley was also

1991
02:09:24,410 --> 02:09:29,441
doing some balconies --I really appreciate the fact that

1992
02:09:31,410 --> 02:09:34,410
you were proactive and able to go back and look and see

1993
02:09:34,410 --> 02:09:40,641
are we in good condition, do we have a safe balconies?

1994
02:09:44,410 --> 02:09:45,410
>> we started that effort around two years ago and we

1995
02:09:45,410 --> 02:09:47,981
surveyed after there were some students who died in

1996
02:09:47,981 --> 02:09:54,581
berkeley so we surveyed and we happen to use the same

1997
02:09:57,981 --> 02:09:58,981
contractor in our property.

1998
02:09:58,981 --> 02:09:59,981
we did a survey to check out our balconies and there are

1999
02:09:59,981 --> 02:10:04,781
some ongoing repairs which are connected to leaks.

2000
02:10:05,981 --> 02:10:06,981
we didn't do the survey in our housing department report

2001
02:10:06,981 --> 02:10:10,981
two years ago what we don't do is say, and they're still

2002
02:10:10,981 --> 02:10:12,981
okay.

2003
02:10:20,981 --> 02:10:21,981
>> thank you very much for all of you work here.

2004
02:10:21,981 --> 02:10:22,981
I really do, even for some of us will been on the board

2005
02:10:22,981 --> 02:10:24,981
for long time it really provided a reminder of what it

2006
02:10:24,981 --> 02:10:29,981
is that were, what is our role and I really found this

2007
02:10:29,981 --> 02:10:30,981
to be very helpful.

2008
02:10:30,981 --> 02:10:32,981
>> thank you.

2009
02:10:33,981 --> 02:10:35,981
>> another comment.

2010
02:10:36,981 --> 02:10:39,981
these going to balance you?

2011
02:10:40,981 --> 02:10:46,981
or finance a report and so there seen a lot at the end

2012
02:10:46,981 --> 02:10:48,981
of the year.

2013
02:10:53,921 --> 02:10:54,921
they look at those books as well.

2014
02:10:54,921 --> 02:10:57,921
that is an level of finance.

2015
02:10:57,921 --> 02:11:00,921
and you know, you and I meet with jenny before and after

2016
02:11:00,921 --> 02:11:03,921
and talk to them about that.

2017
02:11:03,921 --> 02:11:10,521
we've talked about their view on how the finance and how

2018
02:11:10,921 --> 02:11:13,321
it's been taking care.

2019
02:11:13,921 --> 02:11:14,921
I would say thank you very much for it there's a lot of

2020
02:11:14,921 --> 02:11:20,321
insider information and love the pieces I don't think

2021
02:11:20,921 --> 02:11:21,921
that I fully understand but this is a good summary and

2022
02:11:21,921 --> 02:11:26,921
particularly a board that may not have had the

2023
02:11:26,921 --> 02:11:32,321
opportunity to get their head around a little bit.

2024
02:11:32,921 --> 02:11:35,921
we have a tax credit financing seminar a few years ago

2025
02:11:35,921 --> 02:11:40,121
but, it's helpful to get this information.

2026
02:11:43,921 --> 02:11:44,921
it's nice to know that we simply-having simply just

2027
02:11:44,921 --> 02:11:46,921
don't on the properties and run them.

2028
02:11:46,921 --> 02:11:52,921
I like your dashboard and thank you for your help.

2029
02:11:53,861 --> 02:11:59,861
>> we will go forward and we have a discussion now.

2030
02:12:01,861 --> 02:12:02,861
I'm very aware that were running a little longer we only

2031
02:12:02,861 --> 02:12:03,861
have one little item to do and that is a special meeting

2032
02:12:03,861 --> 02:12:05,861
on the budget.

2033
02:12:11,861 --> 02:12:12,861
with that

2034
02:12:12,861 --> 02:12:13,861
>> this will be to full we are going to present how we

2035
02:12:13,861 --> 02:12:14,861
put together the operating budget for those who may have

2036
02:12:14,861 --> 02:12:17,861
not participated in this process and I think it's a good

2037
02:12:17,861 --> 02:12:18,861
eye here to tack on a close session on labor

2038
02:12:18,861 --> 02:12:20,861
negotiations.

2039
02:12:23,861 --> 02:12:24,861
>> when you propose what day?

2040
02:12:24,861 --> 02:12:28,861
>> were so operating from tuesday so were looking at, I

2041
02:12:28,861 --> 02:12:29,861
need that little handy calendar do you have an extra

2042
02:12:29,861 --> 02:12:31,861
one?

2043
02:12:32,861 --> 02:12:36,861
I think we are looking at june 12 know, excuse me june

2044
02:12:36,861 --> 02:12:39,261
13 which is a tuesday.

2045
02:12:45,861 --> 02:12:46,861
sorry, were not looking at june 13 were looking at june

2046
02:12:46,861 --> 02:12:49,861
20 a week ahead of time.

2047
02:12:55,801 --> 02:12:56,801
we can try to put something together, I think june 6

2048
02:12:56,801 --> 02:12:59,801
might be a little ambitious because that's two weeks

2049
02:12:59,801 --> 02:13:01,801
away.

2050
02:13:07,801 --> 02:13:08,801
tuesday.

2051
02:13:08,801 --> 02:13:09,801
>> what day?

2052
02:13:09,801 --> 02:13:11,801
>> june 20.

2053
02:13:13,801 --> 02:13:14,801
>> I cannot.

2054
02:13:14,801 --> 02:13:15,801
>> can you do the six?

2055
02:13:15,801 --> 02:13:18,801
>> I can do the six.

2056
02:13:19,801 --> 02:13:24,100
or the special meeting for the budget?

2057
02:13:29,801 --> 02:13:30,801
we are going to do two things if you want, how we put

2058
02:13:30,801 --> 02:13:36,801
the operating budget together for folks of not been to

2059
02:13:37,801 --> 02:13:38,801
the budget process with us.

2060
02:13:38,801 --> 02:13:41,801
the second would be a close session on labor.

2061
02:13:41,801 --> 02:13:43,801
june 6?

2062
02:13:58,741 --> 02:14:01,741
>> can you do the six?

2063
02:14:03,741 --> 02:14:04,741
mr. Commissioner can you do the six?

2064
02:14:04,741 --> 02:14:05,741
>> yes.

2065
02:14:05,741 --> 02:14:07,741
>> what time 9:30?

2066
02:14:10,741 --> 02:14:14,341
>> no, we can I do june 6.

2067
02:14:16,741 --> 02:14:20,341
I think liz can't do thursdays.

2068
02:14:23,741 --> 02:14:26,741
can you do thursday the 15th?

2069
02:14:26,741 --> 02:14:28,741
>> 15th, yes.

2070
02:14:30,741 --> 02:14:33,741
can you do the 15th?

2071
02:14:44,741 --> 02:14:47,681
you might make it for the special meeting-haven't

2072
02:14:47,681 --> 02:14:48,681
session.

2073
02:14:48,681 --> 02:14:51,681
>> is your hearing in the morning?

2074
02:14:51,681 --> 02:14:54,810
that is far away.

2075
02:14:56,681 --> 02:15:00,281
>> let's do it on the 15th.

2076
02:15:00,681 --> 02:15:01,681
okay

2077
02:15:01,681 --> 02:15:03,681
>> 9:30?

2078
02:15:49,621 --> 02:15:54,421
>> I really have to leave in a minute.

2079
02:16:00,621 --> 02:16:02,621
>> are we adjourn?

2080
02:16:08,621 --> 02:16:11,621
we will adjourn the meeting.
