DISCUS'SION`-- ST9F_F Memorandum dated December'8, 197'7,'directed to City NEEDS FOR HOUSING, Manager'Robert Meyer - by Finance "Director John Scharer, TRANSIT AND "submitted and filed. REDEVELOPMENT City Manager Robert Meyer'adVised last August he*had met with Mr. Scharer and Janie Warman, and they had discussed the staffing needs if the City was to con "tinue.with the..3 °12 Housing Rehabilitation Program. This program, along with grant admiriistrat ion and the Transportation Program, would require additional staff and reassignment of personnel, After discussion with the staff and the'various :personnel concerned, tle'final recommendation is contained in the report dated December 8 from Mr. Scharer. Finance Director John Scharer then,revi'ewed his memorandum dated.December 8, 1977. "'He'advised'staff has been spending.a great,deal of time reviewing the staffing functions'of the - three new programs undertaken. by the City in the. past two years, i.e., housing'rehabilitation, transit., and redevelopment. During the past two years,, the,programs have been run with a minimum direct staffing effort. Most of the work was done by Janie Warman,, Frank Gray, John Scharer, the Attorney and the City Manager, in order to carry out the functions. The transit is - fairly well under control "as it is handled' by a contract arrange - ment, so the report he prepared does not relate to`thi's function. The primary need is for housing rehabilitation and :redevelopment. The Housing Rehabilitation Program wds initiated because of the Community Development Block Grant Program of 1974. Mr. Scharer.indicated the City had ; received grants for 1976 -77 in an amountof $156,000., and for - 1977 -78 in an amount of $221,0,00., The funds are available for;the programs; however, there is insufficient staff to administer them. Mr: Scharer indicated .in of last year, the City entered into, on a trial basis, the 312 Loan Program. 'The,City.would'not'be eligible for 312,, funds if it did not have' Community Development..Bl,ock.Grant Area. Neighbor- .. . -.. hood meetings were held. and interest was_generated.by the people'in the area., with 19 or ZO applications being_received. It has only been possible to process six of these applications because of the time_ contraints of processing the paper, conducting inspections, and executing contracts. Mr. Scharer then continued to'r.ev ew his memorandum: He stated, in order to. effectively administer and plan the programs, it -i's- recommended that a person with the qualifications of a senior planner be employed; who would be respon- sible to the Director of'Community Development. In.ad_dition, another person would be employed who would report to the City Finance Officer; and, to support these planning and administrative .positions., an intermediate steno -clerk would be .needed in the beginning. Once a loan program has been established, it may t ° _..* December 12, 1977 DISCUSSION- -STAFF be necessary to employ,a representative NEEDS FOR HOUSING to carry out the functions_of a building inspector. TRANSIT.AND The net effect would be to add.two positions to the' REDEVELOPMENT City .staff. Mr. Bill Liebe -1, who is presently on t the, (Continued), City staff, would assume the .responsibilities of Pro gram Administrator and the vacant position of Ms. Warman would be discontinued under. the 'recommended organizational concept. Mr., Scharer -then reviewed the estimated budget and funding sources for the °,period of January l, through ,June '30, 1978, and advised the net cost, to the City's General Fund for this six month period would be $1.,663,. Mr -. Scharer then reviewed, Exhibit. " .A" to h is memorandum, w outlines.the fund's granted to the City, the:actual expenditures and' the unexpended balanc`e,., He advised the discretionary"funds for small cities will be looked at very carefully to determine how well .cities are using the funds before additional grants ar`.e awarded. Mr. Scharer indicated he felt it was critical for the City to.perform well if additional funds are expected. Mr. Scharer advised the organizational concept would expand.the housing stock rehabilitation loans to include a moan program which would have a higher in- terest rate than three percent and would be ava "ilabae to persons in moderate income circumstances.. Frank Gray advised this program would .cover Census Tracts 1507 and 1508, which' is, a major portion of the City. City Manager Robert Meyer indicated one of the spin -offs from this program would be, providing jobs for people in the community. He stated`he felt. it was important to , keep.`the program moving,.nOt only from an , economic point of but for th`e.,benef.ii of the people ' the community'. There was discussion held by the Council.on the proposal. Mr. Balshaw felt the. City had, had. a poor track record oh the Housing `Rehab'litation, ?Program, and' i't's'probab.,ly because of the aek of staffing. He also questioned the need for housing rehabilitation in the Cern Business District and if this would be handled through the tax,,incr:ement funding. Mr. Scharer .indicated .the Community Development Block Grant. :funding is for housing rehabilitation, and Census Tracts 1507 and '1508 would also .include. the Central Business.Distri_c_t.'- The Central Business D istrict, as ref'erred °to in his.report, refers to the -Rede- velopment Project,Area. Mr. Balshaw also stated if a senior planner-is hired, his,priority should lie with the 'housing and redevelopment areas. He did, not f eel'th s person.shou d be pulled away from these responsibilities to work with the allocation committee or other Planning Department programs, including substituting f'or the Planni�ng;Director. when necessary. City Manager Robert Meyer - responded by stating the Community Development and Services Coordinator is responsible f:or'the,'d'irec.tion of the Community Development. Services, direct charge of the Planning. Department and. the Build'ing:Inspection Dvs.,ion,. The Senior Planner for housing would report directly to Frank Gray and the only reason it-was incorporated in ihe,,report that the senior planner would assume the. responsibility of the..Planning Director in his absence was. in order .to relieve Mr., Gray from taking this additional assignment,.. The,prop'osed new Pr would have basement of City Hall and lis.pri- oritieswould be for °the programs outlined Mr. Balshaw also,` indicated he was opposed to .splitting the organization up functions. ''He felt the planner and the project administrator may be getting cross ".feed.from each other and felt.a more cohesive arrangement would be to have them work' as one :unit>. City Manager Robert. Meyer pointed out they would be physically located in one area, with secretary to provide services to both. It was also-pointed out the two people involved would be 'under the direction of the Executive Director'of the Petaluma Community Development Commssion'or the City Manager. 'Opera.tionally, each would.have , "a, separate function. 'Mr.. Balshaw then queatioHed.how the program would be funded for personnel if the City did not "receive 'a Community - Development Block Grant 'for on yea -r::. Mr', Scharer' indicated the funds would have to be taken from „revenue sharing or housing administration. Councilman.Balshaw Also questioned since.some of the admire- istration and work would be for redevelopment, why some of the salaries could not be taken out'of' tax increment' Mt.,,Scha_rer indicated this has been in- clud'ed and the approximate amount is $:25,000,. Mr. Scharer' also indicated, if redevelopment grows and they feel there is a need for -a better allocation of the funds, the tax increment would pay a larger share of the administrative, costs. There was some discussion.held regarding staffing and how the new personnel would be hired.. Councilman.:Cavanagh questioned whether: the senior planner's position would be open -for promotional opportunities,f:or members of °tlie Planning December 12, 1977 DISCUSSION- -STAFF Department.: City-Manager. Robert Meyer indicated the. NEEDS.FOR HOUSING, person probably•would.come from the Planning Department', TRANSIT�AND but the Personnel Department would go through its :. REDEVELOPMENT regular procedure.. The position would be open for all (Continued) qualified people.. Counrilman.Balshaw questioned. whether .or not this would have .a 'domino effect in. the. Planning Department, where the last person,hired'would hold the lowest position in the'Planning-Department. Communi.t'y'Development. and Services Coordinator . Frank Gray indicated he.did not feel this.was sp,ecifically.what would happen, but it could be a possibility. City Manager Robert'Meyer, also pointed.out that all new people hired under the proposal would be City employees and not em- ployees .of >the -.Redevelopment..Agency. Councilman Bond questioned the need for additional personnel to.administer.the 312 Housing Program if the City only received or,20 applications. Both Mr. Scharer. and Mr. Gray indicated the applications were cut off in.-May, princi- pally because the City was unable to handle the paperwork., Mr. Scharer also indicated there was only ;a minimal amount of money left and the City did not go out and market the progr,am...The six loans the City did administer amounted to $67,750, which.is a substantial amount of,money. Councilman .Bond , ques <t 6iied_ whether .or .not the 312. Program would. justify hiring the " rehabilitation -representative. - and what duties would-be. Mr. Scharer indicated although our.own City Building Inspection Division. had helped out on the program, they really do ,,not have a, sufficient amount,,of time to .do. justice to.the,program. The rehabilitation representative would assist the people by inspecting their.'homes,•adv sing ihem.what needs to be;:brought._up to code, and assist the applicant in locating a contractor.who would be:•able to give the. owner cost.estimates.for .ihe:.,project...When. work commences on ; rehabili- tation, .. the -representative would, also ; inspect. •the.home. Mr: Scharer inidicated-if this person woiild...find they hadisome slack time, they.could be used to help in our own City Building Inspection; Division oil inspecting: ; flew' -and :other construction. within the City. City Manager Robert Meyer also indicated this person could be hired by contract. In response question.by` Councilman.Hilligoss, whether or 'not the rehabili -, tation representative could also be used in the.redevelopment area, Mr. Meyer answered in the - affirmative. Mr. Scharer also indicated the. Redevelopment Plan has not been fully implemented because there has been insufficient staff to administer the Plan. Discussion was then held on the timetable for hiring the people and establish- ing the program. Mr-. Scharer indicated he felt January l would be the time to establish the program administrator and the senior - planner positions, and also to immediately hire the steno,clerk. He anticipates the ,need for the rehabili- tation representative by the s.ec_otid meeting of January; however, this may be delayed until Spring., At the conclusion of. discussion on the proposal from the staff, Mr. Scharer indicated they would like to have some direction from the.Commission and the Council in order to have resolutions prepared to fill the proper positions Assistant City Manager David Breninger also stated it would be necessary to modify the classification and salary plan for the City to,provide for the positions. City Attorney .Larry Klose indicated the Commission.and the Council could approve the concept., the technical steps necessary could be taken, and the documents brought back to the Council on December 19. A motion was made by Comm. Balshaw, seconded by Comm. Hilligoss, recommending that the City Council move - forward on the concept.for staffing the housing, transit and rehabilitation programs. Motion carried unanimously. A motion was then made by Councilman Hilligoss, seconded by Councilman Balshaw, on behalf of the City Council, accepting the concept. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr._ Walter :MangQn, 173;6 Cawlf "ieli'Lane, ,stated while he does not really object to a rate increase, he felt: the Company 'should :be: more .responsibl•e to put out a. better product. •Mr. Mangon stated he is, on cable, and there•are times in the evening when he does not have good reception.. He also felt the cable television company "should be more responsive to the =ir customers 'and; complained about being given an answering service, rather than,a rep - resenta- tive when he calls for service.: _ : He, also f'el,t. the request, by the Viacom Cablevis on.

Rena Clements of the Associated Building Industry next spoke to the Counc =il. ' She advised the Associated Building Industry is in a position of totally-op- posing the proposed ordinance for payment by the developer 'for underground,ing the utility. The 'industry is concerned with the cost of homes at the present time. She,also stated the cost for undergr:ounding would not be much more than December 12, 1977 APPROVE REVISED from $100 to $140.per house;;: but this amount amort-ized RATES-- CABLE . __over a 30 -year period,wouid.be considerably higher: TELEVISION SERVICE She stated ,their, organizatioh would be happy to meet ;+ (PUBLIC HEARING). with groups selected by'the,.Council and the City.staff RES #8009.NCS: to discuss the matter in. detail. (Continued) -I _ I Mrs: Leonard W'. Kelle Finance,,Manager for Viacom Cabaevision,.reviewed the proposal, w thlithe.City. Council. Mr. Keller - stated, since TeleVue.Cable was awarded the 13,years ago there has not been a rate increase. Approximately $460,000 has been spent in capital 'improvements for the system, including enl'argement.of the plant for better.signal. Mr. Keller also.indicated.construction is underway fora new office and technical facility inrthe Petaluma Industrial Park.. Plans are.und'erway to establish a new,head_end.'•receiving site .wh'ich.should be ,completed in 60 to 90 days. A separate ; and - related issue !is the proposed ordinance on the undergrounding facilities to be charged -to the developer. The firm feels the party who re- ceives the benefit of the undergrounding should pay for that cost. Having homes serviced:by-underground,.cable adds, to,the value -of the home, but actually costs the firm three.times more than overhead service,. There are unique prob- lems related to the maintenance of underground facil- ities in that even.though the cable' is ..placed in conduit., there is still corrosion and it has to. be replaced more often. Mr. Kel-ter also pointed out the'.rate.;for service for undergrounding has been proposed to have only a four percent increase. Mr. Keller also indicated.the,cost.per unit for the homeowner would be approxi- mately $65 to $85.

Clements stated.-she felt .the initial cost for underground'ng should be at the cable television company's expense..r� Then, when the homeowner purchased the home, a fee could be charged. for hooking into - the system. Councilman Balshaw indicated one alternative may be for the cable company Ito pay <•the developer the going. interest rate for.' the. initial investment -and. then the 'developer to refund 'the' $'80 to $100_ Pto th6z television company when the unit was sold:.-: H&{ did. not feel this amount of money would make_ , a. sign flizatnt° amount of difference on 'a $7.0,000 or :$80,000 home:. Mr. Cal Cannon stated he would like to add a couple 'of, comments,. First of all:, the .cost would 'be closer to $`65. The company is not really asking the:•sub scriber to pay for the system. 'The undergrounding of the utility' would be an, improvement for that home. Ninety percent of the - people are going to 'be . using, the cable'television service.. The average length of. time a person lives in a' home-. i& three years and the cost io the'hom"eowner would be very' insigriifica it. Councilman Hilligoss qu'es'tioned whether the company would. still give the .3.0 -day period,of grace. on hookups after the purchase of a home for a free hookup to the cable television service:. Mr�. Cannon indicated their request in their proposal is to eliminate the free hookup in order'.f'or 'the, revenue from the• installation to cover the. and help to.. kee p the monthly service- .charge at _a minimum _ .Mayor Putnam then closed the Public Hearing,. P t City Manager Robert; 'Meyer. stated there were. two requests. - before the Council;. The f irst was for the increase in rates - and; the i- second. request. was to 'amend the ordinnance::' He 's uggeS'ted _� th Council'. 'could, pass "the_ resolution amending the mates at this meeting. and: if' they desired, the ordinance could-be brought back at the next meeting. Councilman Balshaw stated his feeling was to chainge.the ordinance to put the undergrounding in as part of building, construction., He also ' indic'ate'd he would be.. in favor of the new xates� and !asked that, Councilman Hlligoss' .suggestion for - a waiver of. the• -connection fee 'for 30 days after the new resident has. moved in be, considered: 'Councilman Hill ^igoss. also', asked some for handicapped' or elderly persons. Mk- .Keller. indicated there its some problem in .qualifying °people under'this' program.. The company must, fir.st::make 'a determination if there s.need,, and just because people are 65 years or.olden does' not mean they have a need for a reduced rate. He did indicate,,.how.ever, he would submit a proposal to the Council,. They have a rate in one Marin County city of $2.00 .or $2.50 per month for those people who qualify for 'reduced rates. Counc l ,an 'Cavanagh stated he. hoped.; if .the rate ;increase is approved, the cable television 'company. would make an `effort to provide a. better picture signal. City Attorney Larry Klose- stated if the Council. is inclined . to.-adopt, an ordi =. nance based on 'the, proposal submitte& by .Viacom which would change the responsi- bility -f9r the cost of undergrounding., it will require some policy decisions on the' part' of the Council.. The p;r.oposal,, as submitted,, imposes sonde ,significant new work .requirements on the. City Engineer., It; would require, submission of the cab °le: plans to the. City Engineer... Mr. Klose stated. he did ;not know whether the City, should. 'become. ;involved in doing engineering r0yiek on. behalf. of, the''cab'le company..: This would .be an area which would. ;have to be resolved'.-separately 'from who is to , bear. the basic cost-:. Secondly, Mr. Klose st`at'ed the City cariftot use the cab le. f ranch ise. ordinance,tb impose. burdens. on someone who is not, involved in the franchise xelratibnship. It would be necessary, therefore, to amend the Subdivision Ordinance in order to impose any'burden on builders with relation to new construction..

Dr. Gilbert stated when he first filed his application last December, he thought this might be a possibility; ° and he explored the for building the 587foot street, in- cluding the sidewalks., curbs. and gutters. This is opposed to what he felt would be required in that he thought he have,to provide a 20 -foot wide roadway. The requirement.for full improvements would make•the project much too expensive, and he felt would not be able to go through.with"ii.
