SUBJECT: Consider Report Concerning the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA)
SUMMARY
This staff report provides City Council a description and status
related to the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
Currently the RHNA draft housing
Moorpark is: 203 Very Low income;
income; 635 Above Moderate income,
assigned. Allocations are subject
subsequent regional planning agency
unit allocation assigned to
142 Low income; 238 Moderate
with a total of 1217 units
to change as a result of
actions.
DISCUSSION
The RHNA is a numerical projection for housing construction /need
prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments
(SLAG) which serves as the Regional Planning Agency for Ventura,
Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial
Counties. The RHNA figures form the basis for each community's
Housing Element `fair share" allocation, which is that portion
of the region's housing for various income levels. The
allocation figures are the targets every city should attempt to
achieve during the five year housing development action plan, a
portion of the local housing element.
SCAG is required by law to produce the RHNA as a tool to local
agencies. SLAG may allow sub - regional councils of government
such as Ventura Council of Governments (VCOG) to assist in the
drafting of the allocation numbers. Under the current process
VCOG has been appointed as the agency to develop the local
allocation numbers and submit those numbers to SCAG for
incorporation into the regional assessment. VCOG will also act

as the first level of any appeal hearings permitted under the
RHNA process.
The RHNA process has been underway since April of this year.
Draft figures have been prepared by SLAG and VCOG and are under
consideration by member agencies within VCOG. The City /County
Planning Directors' Association (CCPA) has been appointed as the
technical advisory committee to VCOG for the RHNA. CCPA has had
several meetings to consider issues related to the draft
allocation distribution and formula and to consider adjustments
which could result in a more equitable distribution of the "fair
share allocation".
The local RHNA process has been held back due to objections to
the formula and assessments registered by Santa Paula and Port
Hueneme. Port Hueneme's objection is based upon the fact that
the City has reached the point of build -out and physically
cannot accept the prescribed units. CCPA has recommended that
consideration be given to the option that the Hueneme allocation
be reduced due to SLAG error in drafting base numbers, and that
if any unassigned units are required by SCAG to remain in the
VCOG share then those units should be allocated among the other
agencies on the same basis as the original local share was
allocated. Revised draft allocation figures reflecting that
compromise have raised the City of Moorpark share from 1213 to
1217 (4 units). There is still a potential that SLAG could
direct Hueneme total units to other jurisdictions and that
Moorpark's Very Low /Low allocation could increase by as many as
an additional 57 units to a total of 402 units from the
currently assigned draft number of 345. Depending on VCOG's
ability to successfully argue the need to reduce the sub -
regional share because of the SLAG error in preparing the draft
allocations, the Moorpark share for Very Low /Low income units
would be less than 402 but slightly greater than 345.
The Santa Paula proposal would require a complete recalculation
of allocations within VCOG and increase the burden of allocation
to other cities and would significantly increase the Moorpark
share. CCPA considered the Santa Paula proposal and did not
support it since there is a Dispute Resolution procedure in
current law to allow any agency to appeal their assigned
allocation. Under the Santa Paula proposal the projected
Moorpark share for affordable units would increase by nearly
1100 units. CCPA believed that the Santa Paula proposal was too
burdensome and based on flawed logic that those with fewer
0002;7

existing Low and Very low units should accept more such units.
It ignores unique characteristics of communities and economics
to bring them closer to those that have historically had higher
numbers of Low and Very Low units.
The Ventura County City Managers' Group also has reviewed and
commented on the RHNA process from VCOG. No formal
recommendation has been passed by this group for consideration
by CCPA or VCOG, although communication between the organization
and the VCOG Executive Officer has occurred and suggestions were
given.
Staff discussed the status of the RHNA process with the County
Planning Director, Keith Turner, on August 24, 1999. Mr. Turner
indicated that no new developments have transpired that require
CCPA action related to the RHNA process since the July 7, 1999,
CCPA meeting. Staff discussed the RHNA status with VCOG
Executive Officer, Arnold Dowdy, on August 25, 1999. Mr. Dowdy
indicated that a compromise proposal will be presented to the
VCOG Board at the September 23, 1999 meeting. (VCOG meets on the
4th Thursday of each month) Prior to that date the VCOG
Administrative Committee will meet on September 8, 1999 to
consider a strategy to establish final recommended allocations
for the VCOG member agencies. Mr. Dowdy did not anticipate that
CCPA would meet to discuss the proposal prior to the VCOG
meeting in September.
As noted in the summary paragraph, the current RHNA draft
housing unit allocation assigned to Moorpark is: 203 Very Low
income; 142 Low income; 238 Moderate income; 635 Above Moderate
income, with a total of 1217 units assigned. The first draft
numbers prepared by SLAG indicated a total of 1153 units.
Subsequently, SCAG region -wide adjustments to the formula
increased the City number to 1213. Based upon a compromise on
reallocation of Port Hueneme increased allocations, the City
total number was increased to 1217 total units by VCOG, with 345
units allocated to the Very Low and Low income groups. This is
the status as of this report date.
Staff will continue to coordinate with other member
jurisdictions in CCPA and the VCOG Executive Officer and will
advise Council on options once VCOG has taken action to make the
final allocations.

Safety of our students being a major priority, Moorpark Unified School District has been in the
planning process with the City of Moorpark since last spring to implement the Community
Policing Program. The District has applied and received confirmation of federal grant funding
for this program. Moorpark Unified School District would like to take this opportunity to
propose to the City of Moorpark the implementation of the Community Policing Program with a
full time officer position at Moorpark High School by the beginning of the 1999/00 school year.
This objective can be obtain by the following:
1) Tile District will assume the responsibility of paying the first part of the year's costs
(or the maximum of $41, 000.00 as originally agreed upon) with the city agreeing to
pay the second half of the year's costs. This will extend the timeframe for the City of
Moorpark to receive confirmation of receiving the grant from the federal Department
of Justice program, "Cops in Schools."
2) This proposal to be brought to the City Councils attention for potential approval
which would allow the Sheriff's Department to proceed with the filling of this
position currently as opposed to detaining appointing the position until the City
receives confirmation of the federal grant.
In addition to providing campus security'- expediting the implementation of our Community
Policing Program fulfills the importance of first day acceptance and the opportunity for the
officer to establish a building rapport with the teaching staff. It is the District's hope that the
City of Moorpark will collaborate with us in obtaining this objective.
Sincere

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Captain Mike Lewi M'c
DATE: August 30, 1999
SUBJECT: High School Resource Officer Position
In response to the letter from MUSD Superintendent Tom Duffy regarding the new High School
Resource Officer, I would like to provide the following information relative to the mechanics of
adding a new position, time line for having the officer start work and recap the financing for this
position.
To add a new position to a city contract the Sheriff's Department needs a resolution from the City
Council requesting that the position be added to the contracted level of service. A Board Letter is
prepared to accompany the Council Resolution and submitted for review by Sheriff Brooks, County
Auditor's Office and CAD's Office. Once approved by the three county entities the document would
be placed on the consent calender for Board of Supervisor adoption. Upon adoption, the Sheriff s
Department will normally be able to fill the position within 2 to 3 weeks. In short, once the City
Council Resolution is received, we should be able to have the officer on campus in 4 to 5 weeks.
Using the assumption that the Council approved the addition of the new position at it's September
1, 1999 meeting, the Sheriffs Department should be able to have the officer starting on campus the
week of October 11, 1999.
Using the projected start date of October 11, 1999, the estimated FY 99/00 costs associated with this
position for nine months would be as follows:
Direct Costs
Police Services (9 months Sr. Deputy) $85,874
Related Costs
Misc. $1,450
Total Cost FY 99/00 $ 87,324
High School Resource Officer Position
Page 2 of 2
The City has included in it's FY 99/00 budget the following funding sources for this position:
COPS Grant $45,800
General Fund $16,900
MUSD Funding $41,300
Total $104,000
In the event the COPS Grant funding was not awarded to the City, and the City chose not to continue
the position, the City could notify the Sheriffs Department 30 days prior to the end of the fiscal year
it's intent to discontinue the position. In instances of financial hardship, the Sheriff has considered
and granted early termination of contract positions if it is in the best interest of the city.
I am available to respond to any other questions that the Council may have.
