ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, AGENDA
87 -40 - Charles Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive, inquired about
Alameda Marina Village homes which are sold to the low- and
moderate- income groups through the Affordable Housing Program.
In response, the Finance Director explained tax increments are
broken out so that 20% is for low- and moderate - income housing,
and per an Owner Participation Agreement and City Cooperation
Agreement, 95% of the 80% tax increment balance is used to
partially off set the debt service on the $33,000,000 of
assessment district bonds. The Director added that in 1985 the
Redevelopment Agency issued 2.3 million dollars of tax allocation
bonds and the proceeds of bonds are used to fund low- and
moderate- income housing within the Project area; that the
Redevelopment Agency approves an affordable housing budget
annually; and that the budget this year was $734,27000. Mr.
Zenoni further stated that if a person is interested in the
program, he or she would go to Alameda Marina Village and submit
his or her name, although the four grants given this year have
exhausted the funds in this year's budget.
Chairman Corica stated that a $200,000. home is not, in his
mind, within the low- and moderate- income bracket.
The Finance Director stated that low- income participants would
come in under the rental program.
City Manager noted low - income dollars generated are to be
committed to the 185 units of senior housing, and that the
Housing Authority Executive Director and Community Development
Director are discussing the matter.
Commissioner Thomas inquired about the proposed low- income units
at the Caravel Apartments, to which the City Manager responded
that the Caravel Apartments' low - income funds will be
reprogrammed, if the Commission so desires, to support the 185
units of senior housing that is now under development by the
Housing Authority.

The Finance Director commented that the low- income program will
be in the second year afforable housing budget (Oct. 1,
1987 to September, 1988).
In response to Commissioner Thomas' inquiry regardin4=how many
moderate - income units remain, the City Manager stated it depends
upon the number of dollars provided.
Commissioner Thomas noted she was concerned about the lack of
advertising of the program, to which the City Manager stated, if
Council desires, an ad could be placed in the newspaper. The
City Manager added that the City is in the process of discussing
with the developer the possibility of committing the funds
designed for the moderate - income program into the 185 senior
housing program. Commissioner Thomas noted that she thought
there was a specific commitment for 23 low- to moderate - income
units.
Chairman Corica stated that the City should advertise the
availability of the programs.
Fred Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street, commented that the Agreement
between the Commission and Alameda Marina Village states (Sec.
2.03) that the Participant (AMV) shall select qualified
households. Mr. Scullin questioned a sum reflected in the
current CIC budget for auditing purposes, and suggested that
target figures be provided to Commissioners which were originally
designated for specific years.
