<br />Sherry Perry, resident of the Harvest West Apartments, stated that she had signed petitions from residents of the
<br />Harvest West Apartments regarding the relocation of the Social Security Administration main office, and a letter
<br />requesting that all of the senior citizens living at the apartments be channeled through one, centrally located
<br />Social Security office for their convenience, rather than using the outlying offices in various surrounding com-
<br />munities.
<br />Mayor Beltran advised Miss Perry that he would forward a letter to the Social Security Administration office in-
<br />forming them of this request on behalf of the senior citizens at the Harvest West Apartments.

<br />HCDA Projects, 1978-79
<br />City Manager Calabrese read his memorandum regarding future HCDA Projects for 1978-79 and priority listings, in
<br />conjunction with the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Colton and the County of San Bernardino, adopted
<br />October 18, 1977.
<br />Mr. Calabrese advised that the County's Citizen Participation Plan requires each participating city to appoint a
<br />Citizen Participation Advisory Committee, who conduct public meetings to receive citizen input and recommends a
<br />list of projects with priorities to the City Council; the City Council then reviews CPAC recommendations and for-
<br />wards to the Board of Supervisors the adopted Priority Listing of Community Development Projects for the Target
<br />Area, with the City Council having final authority as to what is submitted to the Board of Supervisors.
<br />Mr. Calabrese advised that 8.8% of the final grant is retained by the County for administration costs, and 30% of
<br />the final grant is required to be spent on Housing. The County or City may administer additional programs, however,
<br />the 30% amount may be administered by the County for housing.
<br />Mr. Calabrese continued that the Community Citizens Advisory Commission has recommended the City continue to ad-
<br />minister its own Housing Rehabilitation Program, however, Staff recommends the County fully administer Housing
<br />Rehabilitation Programs for Colton for the following reasons:
<br />1. It will cost in excess of $75,000 annually to retain City HCDA Staff. This
<br />money could be better spent on housing rehabilitation, or other programs.
<br />2. Thirty percent (30%) of the eventual grant amount must be spent by the County
<br />housing programs divisions in Colton. Another 8.8% is withheld from our grant
<br />to pay administration costs. Why pay twice for administrative costs?
<br />3. If Colton wishes more than 30% to be spent on housing, more monies can be ear-
<br />marked for housing or obtained through negotiations for County funds and ad-
<br />ministered by the County at no additional administrative cost.
<br />4. The County Housing Rehabilitation Program is not written to provide out -right
<br />grants as is Colton's. By subsidizing low interest loans, housing monies are
<br />available to improve more homes.
