10/9/2024	0	HOUSING AUTHORITY	Minutes note: Patricia Dee, HACM’s Administrative Services Supervisor, introduced the item, explaining that the Capital Fund Program (CFP) Five Year Action Plan delineates the budget breakdown for major work categories by public housing development or area. The significant amendment includes changes and additions to the list of work categories to address prioritized capital needs throughout the public housing system. Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Assistant Secretary, gave a synopsis of the Five-Year Plan for the Capital Fund Program for the period 2023 to 2027, provided with the agenda. Mr. Aniban explained that the amounts in the categories are just placeholders, not actual budget amounts for those work categories. One amendment was made to support the operational needs of work orders within the public housing developments, which can include repairs to family units and highrises such as: elevator modernization, smoke detectors, fencing and gates, heating, ventilation & air conditioning (HVAC), parking lots, rehabilitation of units placed under long-term vacancy status, safety-related equipment, cameras, and pest control for major infestations. Mr. Aniban emphasized that HACM cannot spend Capital Fund dollars on items that are not already identified in the plan. Commissioners discussed the projected dollar amounts presented for each category, how and when work orders will be done, how the information will be communicated to the residents, and the timeline for the submittal of the plan. Commissioners also requested that the CFP schedule be provided as an attachment in final minutes, which was not previously provided with the agenda Ken Barbeau, HACM’s Chief Operating Officer - Program Services, stated that the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) reviewed the CFP Plan at their August meeting. Items discussed at that meeting covered disbursements of funds and timeframes of those disbursements. Mr. Barbeau also stated that the RAB would like copies of the budgets when they become available. Vice Chair VandeBerg recommended holding this item until the Board can review the summary and discuss any additional questions with the staff. Vice Chair VandeBerg made a motion to hold over R13505, seconded by Commissioner Yepez-Klassen, there being no objections, this motion carried.
