Housing Commission Resolution Number 2010-001 established a monthly meeting on the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. on an as -needed basis. It is anticipated that it will not be necessary for the Housing Commission to meet each month for the 2013 calendar year. Therefore, staff is recommending that the Housing Commission meet on a quarterly basis — the anticipated schedule is as follows: March13, 2013 June 12, 2013 September 11, 2013 December 11, 2013 If deemed necessary, special meetings may be called by the chairperson or by two commissioners and notice will be sent to each commissioner at least 48 hours before the meetings. ALTERNATIVE: Approve the suggested meeting dates for Calendar Year 2013. Respectfully submitted, Debbie Powell Economic Development/Housing Manager HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: December 12, 2012 AGENDA CATEGORY: BUSINESS SESSION: ITEMTITLE: Review of 201 1 /2012 State Housing and CONSENT CALENDAR: Community Development Annual Report STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: REPORTS & INFO: �1 California Health and Safety Code ("HSC") Section 34328 states that "at least once a year a (housing) authority shall file with the clerk of the respective city or county and with the Department of Housing and Community Development an annual report of its activities for the preceding year." Housing Authority staff prepared the La Quinta Housing Authority Annual Report for Fiscal Year 201 1 /2012. This Annual Report was submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") on October 25, 2012. The report was due on October 1, 2012; however, staff completed it after the due date and submitted it to HCD upon completion. Staff consulted with HCD, and there are no penalties for late submittals. The reports are simply received by HCD and kept on file. A copy must also be available for viewing in the City Clerk's office. The Annual Report for the City of La Quinta Housing Authority (Attachment 1) covers all the activities that have occurred during the 2011/2012 Fiscal Year, including housing unit compliance with affordability requirements, activities concerning existing debt obligations, as well as land transactions and development. The report must specifically document any notice of terminations issued to domestic violence victims or terminations of Section 8 vouchers held by domestic violence victims, whether the termination notices resulted in the victim vacating the premises, and any steps the Housing Authority may have taken to assist the victim(s). The property managers for the La Quinta Housing Authority -owned properties report that no termination notices were issued, nor are they aware of Section 8 voucher terminations related to domestic violence victims. (Note — Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 provides rent subsidy vouchers to very -low income renters.) The report must include all debt obligations issued during Fiscal Year 2011 /2012. There were no bonds issued; however, the La Quinta Housing Authority assumed all loans and financing agreements owned by the former La Quinta Redevelopment Agency. These are listed on Table 1(e) and Appendix A of the attached HCD report. All land transactions and development activities that occurred during the year must be listed, such as property purchases, rehabilitation, leases, land sales, operational changes, and establishment of special trust funds. The La Quinta Housing Authority actions that fall under these categories relate to the use of 2004 and 2011 housing bond proceeds for Washington Street Apartment Rehabilitation, funding of silent second trust deeds for rehabilitated foreclosed homes, and the funding of Coral Mountain Apartments. At least 20% of Housing Authority -owned properties must be available to lower - income persons. The La Quinta Housing Authority is compliant — of the 100 units (28 Cove rental homes and 72 Washington Street Apartment units), 98% are available to very -low income persons and 2% are available to low-income persons. The La Quinta Housing Authority elected to be the Housing Successor to the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency on January 17, 2012. Because all affordable housing activities for Fiscal Year 201 1 /2012 must be listed, the annual report includes properties, covenants, agreements, and assets assumed by the La Quinta Housing Authority upon redevelopment dissolution, which occurred in February 2012.
