ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
Resolution No. 20-2010 authorizing the expenditure of tax increment funds for the
rehabilitation of 339 Commercial Avenue, adopting findings required by Health and
Safety Code Section 33445, and authorizing award of a contract for the project to
HARGENS, INC in an amount not to exceed $85,503.45.
Manager Fragoso presented the staff report recommending approval of a resolution
authorizing certain expenditures related to improvements required at agency owned
property located at 339 Commercial Avenue. She reminded the Board that it had approved
a similar expenditure two (Z) years ago for an adjacent duplex. At that time the units
presently at issue were in good condition. She explained staff' inspects residential
properties on a yearly basis and sometimes more often if there: are problems or other
concerns. She noted that mold and mildew developed quickly and had not been observed
during previous inspections. She advised the Board that it had been 10 years since the units
were initially remodeled and further explained the units were occupied by large families
and had a single restroom. Manager Fragoso explained that despite competitive economic
circumstances, not a single contractor had submitted a bid for the project. Accordingly, the
Economic and Community Development Department, was allowed the opportunity to
negotiate for the required services. The Department had secured a price of roughly
$85,000 total, which included the work for both units. A complete remodel of each
bathroom and replacement of a good amount of sheet rock would be performed. Carpeting
would be removed and redone and painting would be done throughout the entirety of both
units.
Boardmember Matsumoto questioned whether the opportunity to present energy efficient
improvements was reviewed.
Manager Fragoso advised the possibility of tankless water heaters would be considered in
the future. She observed the units are twice the cost traditional water heaters, but save in
utility costs over time.
Boardmember Gonzalez cautioned that tenants should be reporting mildew and mold when
observed as opposed to painting over it.
Manager Fragoso stated that a tenant education program had been undertaken over the past
two (2) years. She hoped this program would start to yield benefits.
Boardmember Garbarino raised concerns over reports related to imported sheetrock.
Manager Fragoso advised she would be meeting with the contractor shortly and would
discuss these issues at that time.
Chairman Addiego commented on the amount of resources being used to abate the mold.
He observed that mold is a curse of our area. He cautioned a€;ainst acquisition of older
properties in the future due to their tendency to exhibit mold.
Boardmember Matsumoto questioned who managed the properties at issue.
Manager Fragoso advised she had recently taken over management of the properties from
North Peninsula Neighborhood Services.
Motion- Boardmember Garbarino/Second- Boardmember Gonzalez: to approve
Resolution No. 20-2010. Unanimously approved by voice vote.
