HOUSING AUTHORITY
FISCAL YEAR-END 2023/24 BUDGET REPORT
The La Quinta Housing Authority oversees three funds, which are restricted for affordable
housing programs. This report focuses on significant activities and variances from the
final budget during the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2024.
REVENUES
Total revenues, after non-cash adjustments, were over budget by $504,241. Revenues
are summarized by fund below and detailed in Exhibit A.
Larger revenue variances from the final budget are described below.
•Use of Money and Property includes the annual fair market value adjustment to
the Authority’s investments; noted as GASB 31 Interest on the revenue line items.
In accordance with accounting regulations, a portfolio value adjustment of
$234,573 was recorded in order to recognize current market values, which were
valued greater than book value due to market conditions resulting in a positive
adjustment. This amount has been recorded as an adjustment to revenues, as it
is not cash received nor anticipated to be received in the future.
•Extraordinary Gain revenue of $68,161 in the RDA Low-Mod Housing Fund
records the annual former Redevelopment Agency loan repayment interest earned
in FY 2023/24. The loan repayments are structured to pay all principal first, then
interest. Each year, the City records the payment received and interest earned in
accordance with the State Department of Finance approved loan repayment
schedule. This amount is also reduced from revenues as an adjustment because
it is earned, but not received until a future date.

City of La Quinta
HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING: December 11, 2024
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECOMMEND HOUSING AUTHORITY APPROPRIATE FUNDS AND
APPROVE G.M. GORDON ROOFING TO PERFORM TWENTY-EIGHT ROOF
REPLACEMENTS FOR THE CITY’S AFFORDABLE HOUSING RENTAL PROPERTIES
IN THE LA QUINTA COVE
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend Housing Authority appropriate funds and approve G.M. Gordon Roofing to
perform roof replacements for the City’s twenty-eight Affordable Housing rental properties
in the La Quinta Cove.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The Housing Authority (Authority) owns 28 Affordable Housing single-family
homes in the La Quinta Cove (Cove) that are rented out to eligible tenants, and
managed by La Quinta Palms Realty.
•A majority of the 28 Cove properties have never had a full roof replacement, only
minor repairs as needed.
•Staff received 3 bids from roofing contractors for the improvements . G.M. Gordon
Roofing of Bermuda Dunes submitted the most competitive responsible and
responsive bid at $454,425 (Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT
Estimated costs associated with this project would be for an amount of $500,000. This
includes the cost for the 28 roof replacements at $454,425, and a contingency of 10%
added for miscellaneous construction needs such as a need to remove and replace
damaged plywood. Funds would be appropriated and made available in the La Quinta
Palms Realty Building/Site Improvements Account(Account No. 241-9103-72110).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Authority owns 28 Affordable Housing single-family homes in the Cove that are
rented out to eligible tenants, and managed by La Quinta Palms Realty. Throughout the
year, several annual inspections are performed at the homes, including garage door
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
19
inspections, pest control, HVAC servicing twice per year, driveway inspections, and other
miscellaneous reviews to ensure safety for the tenants. During the course of the
inspections, it was found that the 28 properties require roof replacements. A majority of
the properties have never had a full roof replacement, only minor repairs as needed.
La Quinta Palms Realty provided staff with 3 quotes from roofing contractors for the
improvements, and G.M. Gordon Roofing of Bermuda Dunes submitted the most
competitive responsible and responsive bid at $454,425. Staff recommends approval to
the Housing Authority to perform the necessary replacements.
ALTERNATIVES
The Commission may elect not to recommend approval of the roof replacements to the
Authority, however, staff does not recommend this alternative as these improvements are
necessary for the safety of the tenants.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECOMMEND HOUSING AUTHORITY ADOPT RESOLUTION TO
DECLARE ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBERS 600-030-039, 600-030-036, AND 600-390-
024 LOCATED IN THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA AS SURPLUS LAND
RECOMMENDATION
•Adopt a Resolution to declare Assessor Parcel Numbers 600-030-039, 600-030-
036, and 600-390-024, located in the City of La Quinta, California, as surplus land;
•Authorize the Executive Director to execute and administer the necessary notice(s)
related to the declarations made in the resolution.
•Find that that the declarations are exempt from environmental review pursuant to
Section 15312 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The Surplus Land Act (SLA) governs the disposition of Housing Authority
(Authority) owned property that is no longer needed for the Authority’s use and
requires cities to declare property as “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” prior
to disposing of it, including sales and certain leases.
•Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 600-030-039, 600-030-036, and 600-390-024
meet the definition of “surplus land” pursuant to Government Code Section
54221(b)(1) as the property is land owned in fee simple by the Authority, which is
no longer necessary for the Authority’s use, and does not fall into any category of
“exempt surplus land.”
•Staff is recommending that the Authority adopt resolutions to declare APNs 600-
030-039, 600-030-036, and 600-390-024 as “surplus land” and authorize the
Executive Director or Designee to execute and administer the necessary notices
and negotiations required by the SLA.
•The proposed declarations that the parcels are surplus land or exempt surplus land
does not authorize the lease or sale of the parcels. Once the process is complete,
any proposed lease, sale, or disposition would be subject to separate review and
approval.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 3
25
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The SLA governs the disposition of Authority-owned property that is no longer needed for
the Authority’s use, and requires cities to declare property as “surplus land” or “exempt
surplus land” prior to disposing of it, including sales and certain leases. If surplus land
does not fall into a category of “exempt surplus land,” then it qualifies as “surplus land.”
The Authority owns three vacant parcels located in the City of La Quinta (APNs 600-030-
039, 600-030-036, and 600-390-024) (Exhibit A to the first resolution) Staff has identified
these parcels as undeveloped land not to be utilized for development projects,
implemented, owned, and/or operated by the Authority. These parcels meet the definition
of “surplus land” pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(b)(1) as the property is
land owned in fee simple by the Authority, which is no longer necessary for the Authority’s
use, and does not fall into any category of “exempt surplus land.”
The resolution proposed, if adopted, would declare these parcels surplus land as required
by the SLA, which would allow the Authority to sell the parcels.
A Notice of Availability will be sent to required entities, who have 60 days to notify the
Authority of their interest in the parcels. If any interest is provided, the Authority is required
to engage in good faith negotiations for a period of 90 days. Following these steps, the
Authority must provide the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) with a notification detailing the Notice of Availability process.
ALTERNATIVES
Commission may elect not to recommend the Authority declare these parcels surplus
land; or, declare only one or some of the parcels as surplus land or exempt surplus land.
As this process is required by HCD to ensure compliance with SLA, staff does not
recommend these alternatives.
