Executive Director Cutrufelli explained the staffing and make-up of the people inhabiting the 80 units at the Housing Authority. He further explained the break down of rents based upon the income of the tenants and elaborated on the ethnic backgrounds. He stated that once a family increased their income, he encouraged them to look for housing elsewhere. He stated that HUD regulations require that preference be given first to disabled veterans, veterans, elderly and then low income families, including those on AFDC or social security. He said that a review was made during the year to determine if income varied and a rent adjustment was warranted and substantiated. Chairman Feudale said that this Housing Authority was one of the few in the country operating with black ink and thanked Council for the support and assistance given to achieve this solvency. Chairman Feudale said that there had been two robberies at the Authority and that there had been discussion to employ security guards - which had been determined to be too expensive. He said also discussed at the Authority level was installation of iron grills on the maintenance building, however the Police Department frowns on the use of the grills. Police Chief Datzman said that this could cause a fire hazard and he preferred other methods being used. He said that he had talked to Mr. Cutrufelli about the burglaries and had suggested other alternatives to the use of iron grills, i.e., deadbolts, alarms that would ring in communications. A discussion followed on the loitering problems, tenants being afraid of reprisals if they inform on another person committing a crime, informing the Manager of the crime and he telephone the Police. 12/9/81 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 1. Fire/Police Items - Continued. 2. City Support of Public Works Projects. A discussion followed on the crime problem in the neighborhood, having the Police work with the Authority to abate the problem, people working on their cars in the area, eviction process, destruction of property by the tenants, the need for a proper identification for the use of Police and Fire responding to alarms. Chairman Feudale related that $2,500 had been paid for a unit determination sign and after the sign was seen by the Fire Department the Fire Marshall stated that it was inadequate. Chairman Feudale asked if the City would help the Authority in the clean- ing of storm drains in the event of a flood. Assistant City Manager Wilson said that if the line was located in the street the City would assume the liability. He said that in the past the Street Department had responded to calls from Mr. Cutrufelli. He said that there are lines that drain into the street, into the off-street parking areas, and that there is a line clogged with concrete. He stated that figures had been supplied to Mr. Cutrufelli upon request for the cost in maintenance of the lines. He said that the City would not incur the work do to lack of manpower strength. He said that the City was only informing the Director of the equipment to purchase for a maintenance program. A discussion followed on where the responsibilities lay for the drainage pipes, the smallness of the lines, the problem of debris and sand in the lines, etc. 12/9/81 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN, e Involvement of City Personnel on Matters of Administrative Housing Authority Functions. Housing Authority Scope of Business. Executive Director Cutrufelli expressed concern with the complain- ants from the project who were often calling City Hall and Councilmembers and appeared to be given encouragement, unintentionally, to proceed in what- ever action they desire. He said that on one occasion an individual talked to Assistant City Manager Wilson and was given too much attention rather than referring the call to the Authority to resolve the matter. He said that the Authority had a grievance procedure to handle these matters and felt that it should not be bypassed. He asked that any complaints received by personnel in City Hall should be referred to the Authority. Councilman Addiego said that any citizen had the right to come into City Hall and be heard by Staff and elected city people, however the intent was not to usurp the Authority. Assistant City Manager Wilson said that this matter had come up before and that a memo had been issued to Staff to direct all Authority calls to the Executive Director. Councilman Damonte said that he has known many residents of the project who have come to him for advice over the years and that he had helped many of the residents. He said that when necessary he always referred matters to the Director, however he would always aid these people in whatever way that he could. Mayor Nicolopulos said that there was no intent to circumvent the Director or the Authority and reiterated the need to work together. Councilman Damonte said that the original plan for the project contained 100 units and asked where the remaining 20 units would be located. 12/9/81 Page 4 A G E N D A A_C T_I__O_N_ T__A__K E_N__ i77~ 4.
