This position has not been filled. In the interim, a temporary project manager assisted in administering the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant program. Currently, an Assistant Planner has been hired on a provisional basis to process 40 pending applications for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Program.

These programs will remain with the Community Development Department. DISCUSSION Staff has reevaluated this position relative to the housing needs of the City. With the new applications for housing assistance and the desire to consider a variety of other housing assistance programs, it is suggested that this position be upgraded to Associate Planner.

There will be no significant change in the administration or procedures for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant program in the Redevelopment Project Area. The Guidelines for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan program outside of the Project Area are being drafted. The Agency will continue to use U.S. Escrow for preparing loan documents and reporting. The first priority for the housing programs are as follows: 1. Complete projects for all existing applications for homes in and out of the Project Area.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS There would be a loss to the General Fund of $15,000 since the administration of the CDBG Program would be performed by the Agency. This position would be responsible for field work, inspections and the administration of the program. The Code Enforcement - Housing Rehabilitation Officer's position was budgeted (FY 1995/1996) at $36,610. If this position were to be upgraded the annual budget for the Associate Planner position would range from $42,184 to $51,398. The position was filled by a provisional appointment and it is requested that the position be made permanent and that a recruitment process be completed. FUNDING The Code Enforcement /Housing Officer is currently at Range 12 of the salary plan and the Associate Planner position is at Range 16. This is a 20% increase in cost for the position. The Agency has funded this position for 12 months which includes a total salary of $42,184 of which $11,000 is from CDBG funds. Funding for the Associate Planner position would be taken from the housing 20% tax increment set aside funds and CDBG Administration funds.
