has been prepared to be executed between the Redevelopment Agency and
the City Council pertaining to said project, at an estimated dollar

ing the facilities and providing for construction, while the Redevel-

II. ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY The following matter was considered by
the Anaheim Housing Authority:
HUD SECTION 8 UPDATE - REPORT, NOVEMBER, 1975 The November report of
the Housing Director, Rosario Mattessich, was submitted (copies fur-
nished each Commissioner). Mr. Mattessich briefly synopsized his
report, noting that the November breakdown of total certificates
issued for family participation reflected 14 for non - elderly families
and 40 for elderly families. The certificates for the elderly places
the Authority more in line with the breakdown as discussed at the
Housing Authority meeting of November 4, 1975 (see page 75 -107,
Community Development. Commission minutes).
Item B of the report reflects the actual amount of dollars
obligated for the effective contracts executed during November; 19
contracts were signed in November, and with those additional signed
in December, the total now is at least 43 families being assisted.
75 -125
Community Development Commission Minutes - December 9, 1975, 1.00 P.M
Anaheim Housing Authority, Continued
Mr. Mattessich reported that on page 2 of his report. there was
a cumulative breakdown of the total number of certificates; that to
date, 110 certificates have been issued, or more than half the allo-
cation of 200. A certain number have expired, or have been eliminated
because the holders have not checked back with the Housing Authority
Office.
The total average increase in rents over what the landlords
were previously charging amounts to 2.5%, which is well below what
was expected with these lease rentals. The total residential infla-
tion factor for Los Angeles and Orange Counties is 5%.
In conclusion, Mr. Mattessich further reported that he was one
of approximately ten housing directors who have been selected to
travel to the HUD central office in Washington, D.C. for the purpose
of providing feedback as to how the program is progressing. Indica-
tions are that this may result in more flexibility for the program.
In response to question by Commissioner Seymour, Mr. Mattessich
reported that several of the programs to be represented in Washington
are just getting under way; in some instances they were hesitant about
getting into the program, being concerned that some families would not
understand it, and might require legal assistance to interpret the
documents involved. The emphasis is that the fair market trends are
not adequate for the larger family units, while the smaller units for
elderly families are working out well. Everyone who is involved in
the program seems to be happy to be a part thereof.
As a supplement to the foregoing report, Executive Director Keith
Murdoch reported that the first unit of the rehabilitation under the
Community Development Block Grant Program is rapidly approaching com-
pletion, and work on the second unit will begin in a week or so. The
program has been very successful thus far, and it was felt the two
programs had many things in common, and should be tied more closely
together; therefore the Housing Director has the responsibility for
implementing this program in addition to his housing responsibilities.
He further reported that there had been some difficulty in getting
people to participate, as this is basically a training program; how-
ever it is moving along successfully.
There being no further business before the Anaheim Redevelopment
Agency or the Anaheim Housing Authority, Chairman Thom entertained a
motion to adjourn the Community Development Commission.
ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Seymour moved to adjourn. Commissioner
Thom seconded the motion. Commissioners Kaywood and Pebley absent.
MOTION CARRIED.
