Item 5: Consideration and approval regarding Resolution 5454, approving
the 2015 payment
standard schedule at 97%-106% of the 2015 Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for the Housing
Choice Voucher Program.
Deborah Flach stated that HUD annually establishes FMRs for each area of the United States.
HUD requires housing authorities to establish voucher payment standards for each unit size. Staff
requests approval to increase the payment standard schedules for the 1, 2 and 3 bedroom-sized
units. The current schedule complies with HUD requirements, as all payment standard amounts
are within the basic range of the FY 2015 FMRs. The estimated impact on the Housing
Assistance Payment contract is 4.26%; however, due to biennial and triennial recertifications, the
increase will be phased-in over a period of three years. The recommended payment standards
will be effective June 1, 2015 for all Housing Assistance Payments contracts.
Motion:
Commissioner Cantu moved to approve Resolution 5454.

Tim Alcott stated that staff is recommending purchasing two lots, located at 1533 and 1535 Hays
Street, for $30,000, with private funds provided by Citibank. The purchase of the properties will
result in the development of new residences as part of Phase I implementation of the Wheatley
Choice Infill Strategy for the Choice footprint. Staff has acquired market appraisals to determine
the fair market values for each property. The property located at 1535 Hays previously contained
a vacant commercial store, which was demolished by the City of San Antonio in Nov. 2014, and a

REQUESTED ACTION:
Consideration and approval regarding Resolution 5460, authorizing the President and CEO to:
purchase lots and vacant/abandoned buildings for a cumulative total not to exceed $363,000,

St. and Blue Bonnet St. to Nolan St. – as part of the EastPoint Choice Neighborhood
Transformation Plan; and the execution of all documents necessary to accomplish such

PURPOSE:
The purchase of these properties will result in the development of new residences as part of the
EastPoint Infill Housing Plan and the Choice Neighborhood Transformation Plan.
SUMMARY:
Staff is seeking authorization to purchase lots and vacant/abandoned homes located within the
EastPoint Choice Infill Housing area, utilizing approximately $363,000 of Neighborhood
Stabilization Program (NSP) funds, as part of the EastPoint Choice Neighborhood
Transformation Plan. Plans include the demolition of abandoned buildings, and the subsequent
sale of the lots to builders to construct new homes for income-qualified homebuyers up to 120%
of area median income (AMI).
Staff is working with the City of San Antonio (CoSA) to finalize a contract for the NSP funds. As
part of this process, SAHA is required to secure an Environmental Review Record (ERR) for the
target area. CoSA has engaged a vendor to produce the ERR, which is now in the HUD
approval process. HUD approval is tentatively scheduled to be completed in February 2015.
Once approved, the NSP funds will be available to SAHA for the purchase of these properties.
Eight (8) lots and/or vacant houses are pending sale to SAHA, upon Board approval, ranging in
price from $8,000 to $18,000, with closings tentatively planned for March 2015. [See
Attachment] The purchase prices for the lot and abandoned buildings are based on appraised
values (Integra Realty Resource) to determine fair market value.
Staff is exploring the option to use CoSA-procured vendors for the new home construction in the
Infill area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The lots and abandoned houses would be purchased with $363,000 of City of San Antonio NSP
funds.

5/13/2014 SAN ANTONIO HOUSING AUTHORITY
February 5, 2015
RESOLUTION 5458, AUTHORIZING THE AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR FLEET SERVICES TO
THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO (COSA) THROUGH AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT,
FOR AN ANNUAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $450,000.00, FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR,
WITH THE OPTION TO RENEW FOR FOUR (4) ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR PERIODS.
President and CEO
Steven Morando
Roger Garcia
General Services Manager
REQUESTED ACTION:
Consideration and approval regarding Resolution 5458, authorizing the award of a contract for fleet
services to the City of San Antonio (COSA) through an intergovernmental agreement for an annual
amount not to exceed $450,000.00, for a period of one year, with the option to renew for four (4)
additional one-year periods.
PURPOSE:
To provide fleet-related maintenance, repair and fueling services for 180 SAHA-owned vehicles and
off-road equipment. Specific services that are provided by COSA under this agreement include
preventive maintenance, as-needed unscheduled mechanical repairs, vehicle towing, road calls,
yearly vehicle safety inspections, car/truck washes, fuel, and collision damage repair.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost for fleet services is not expected to exceed an annual amount of $450,000.00, or an average
of $2,500.00 per vehicle per year for maintenance, fuel, inspections, etc., and will be funded through
the departments’ operating budgets.
The total amounts paid to COSA for fleet services over the past five years are as follows: 2010 $387,122.00; 2011 - $540,561.00; 2012 - $486,992.00; $2013 - $427,465.00; and 2014 $341,092.00. The increase to $450,000 this year is due to enhanced attention to preventive
maintenance to ensure that all services are performed according to the manufacturer's recommended
schedules.
SUMMARY:
The use of an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of San Antonio (COSA) is a method
available to SAHA to obtain services from a governmental agency without being subject to competitive
bidding requirements and is one that is encouraged by HUD for use by Housing Authorities.
The City of San Antonio, Building and Equipment Services Department (“BESD”) operates six (6)
maintenance shops throughout the city to service its 4,800 vehicle and equipment fleet. Additionally,
they have 11 fueling stations that are available for use by SAHA, located at BESD maintenance
shops, police substations and other city facilities. Unleaded fuel is available at all locations and
propane is available at three of their shop locations. All of the SAHA fleet is assigned and serviced at
the BESD Central Shop, which is centrally located on S. Frio Street.
The rates and fees that will be charged to SAHA for services provided by BESD are the same that
they charge COSA departments.

Fuel prices that COSA charges are based on an index of South Texas refinery prices each
week and are responsive to weekly market conditions, which are quickly reflected in the prices


February 5, 2015
charged to SAHA. The markup over COSA cost is increasing from $.10/gallon in 2014 to
$.13/gallon in 2015.
The shop labor rate for 2015 will be $81/hour, which compares favorably with the market
commercial rates at San Antonio dealerships that were researched and range from $108 to
$120 per hour. This labor rate is a reduction from the $84/hour rate charged in 2014.
The markup on parts is decreasing from 23% to 22% over COSA cost; car wash fees ($2.00)
and sublet markups (10% over COSA cost) will remain the same. The monthly charge for
active vehicles registered in the fueling system will go up from $3.00/month/vehicle to
$14.00/month/vehicle (an impact of approximately $23,000/year).

PURPOSE:
SAHA requires the services of a benefit consultant to provide administration and placement of

The Agency’s benefits program is currently under a self-insured model that promotes a premium cost
savings to the organization while providing our staff with top quality and competitive benefits
packages. SAHA provides its employees attractive benefits packages as compared to other similarly
sized private and public enterprises. Annual surveys sent to employees indicate high satisfaction with
the packages offered. The current benefits carrier is Humana, which insures SAHA after the current
individual stop loss threshold of $100,000 per employee, as well as an aggregate stop loss of
$5,000,000. As our third-party administrator, Humana handles all of medical and dental claims within
the self-insured limits.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost for the Employee Benefits Consultant’s fee is not expected to exceed an annual amount of
$65,000.00 and will be funded through the operating budget.
SUMMARY:
On August 22, 2014, SAHA issued a “Request For Proposals” (RFP) #1406-953-52-4220 for Benefits
Consultant, which closed on October 1, 2014. The RFP was published on our website, Electronic
State Business Daily (ESBD), The Hart Beat, La Prensa, various other venues and we direct solicited

A total of five (5) proposals were received in response to the RFP: Frost HR Consulting; Holmes

Granado Group. All proposals were evaluated on the following criteria: experience; technical
approach/plan; qualifications; price; and strength of the Section 3 and SWMBE plans. After
evaluation of the submitted proposals, presentations were conducted for all proposers. Based on the
above, McGriff, Seibels & Williams of Texas, Inc. is the highest rated responsive and responsible

RESOLUTION 5461, APPROVING A CHANGE ORDER TO MOWING AND GROUNDS
MAINTENANCE SERVICE CONTRACTS TO A&S LANDSCAPING (HABE, SECTION 3
BUSINESS) IN THE AMOUNT OF $63,000.00, AND R &C LANDSCAPE, LLC (ESBE, HABE, MBE,
SBE, SECTION 3 BUSINESS), IN THE AMOUNT OF $40,000.00, FOR A PERIOD NOT TO
EXCEED THREE MONTHS.
President and CEO
Steven Morando
David Nisivoccia
Chief Operating Officer
REQUESTED ACTION:
Consideration and approval regarding Resolution 5461, approving a change order to mowing and
grounds maintenance service contracts to A&S Landscaping (HABE, Section 3 Business) in the
amount of $63,000.00, and R&C Landscape, LLC (ESBE, HABE, MBE, SBE, Section 3 Business), in
the amount of $40,000.00, for a period not to exceed three months.
PURPOSE:
To provide continued mowing and grounds maintenance services to 39 Public Housing properties for
a period not to exceed three months while an award to the new Request For Proposals (RFP) for
these services is being finalized.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The change order will result in the following increases to the contractors’ agreements and will be
funded through the properties operating budgets: A&S Landscaping - $63,000, or 10.2%, and R&C
Landscape, LLC - $40,000, or 15.3%, of their current contracts.
SUMMARY:
On November 6, 2014, the Board approved contracts for Mowing and Grounds Maintenance Services
for Public Housing to include scattered sites and vacant lots to A&S Landscaping (HABE, Section 3
Business) for an amount not to exceed $616,545.60 and R&C Landscape, LLC (ESBE, HABE, MBE,
SBE, Section 3 Business) for an amount not to exceed $258,159.00. A contract with a third vendor,
Endeavors Unlimited was also approved. However, on November 17, 2014, SAHA was advised by
Endeavors that the prices submitted in their Best and Final Offer (BAFO) contained a significant bid
error that required either prices to be increased or the bid to be withdrawn. Since SAHA’s
Procurement Policy does not permit the increase of amounts after award, Endeavors was advised that
the contract award could not proceed and Endeavors withdrew their bid.
This left 39 Public Housing properties without regular service. Therefore, on January 8, 2015, SAHA
issued RFP #1412-988-36-4298 for Mowing and Grounds Maintenance Services For Various Public
Housing Properties that is scheduled to close on January 29, 2015. Staff anticipates an award
recommendation to be presented at the March 2015 Operations and Choice Neighborhood
Committee and the April 2015 Board of Commissioners meeting.
This change order is required to provide the services needed until the award of the final contract.

Yolanda Hotman, Chair, Resident Services Committee
SUBJECT:
Resident Services Committee held at The Lofts at Marie McGuire, on
January 22, 2015
A Resident Services Committee meeting was held on January 22, 2015, at The Lofts at Marie
McGuire Apartments, 211 N. Alamo. Attendees included Chair Yolanda Hotman, Commissioner
Lisa Rodriguez, Commissioner Morris Stribling, Commissioner Stella Molina, SAHA
President/CEO Lourdes Castro Ramirez, SAHA staff, and approximately 24 residents.
The Lofts at Marie McGuire is a community for elderly/disabled residents, built in 1979 and
renovated in 2015, consisting of 63 units in a high-rise building. The Resident Services
Committee focuses on matters affecting the residents of the agency’s Public Housing
properties. The following topics were discussed at the committee meeting:
Elderly Admissions Preference pilot program
David Clark stated one of the Moving to Work (MTW) initiatives approved by HUD this year is a
prorated leasing preference to address concerns regarding the lifestyle conflicts between elderly
and non-elderly residents. The pilot program is taking place at two of our properties, W.C. White
and Fair Avenue. The program is designed to transition these properties to 80% elderly and
20% non-elderly disabled.
Occupancy and wait list administration
Mr. Clark stated that in 2014 the occupancy rate was at approximately 94.6%. At that time, the
responsibility for processing applications was shifted from Public Housing staff to the Unified
Application Center (UAC) in the Assisted Housing program, which now processes both Public
Housing and Housing Choice Voucher applications. At the same time, SAHA implemented a
new Moving to Work initiative, a time-limited preference for 200 working families.
Over 7,000 applicants claimed the working preference, but only 28 applicants qualified. As staff
processed the applications, they found that very few actually qualified for the preference. Each
rejected applicant was returned to a place on the waitlist based on the date and time of their
application, after interviewing hundreds of applicants who claimed the working preference.
Despite devoting extra staff and overtime to address the problem, occupancy continued to drop,
and staff decided to suspend the working preference until occupancy was under control. By the
end of July 2014, occupancy reached a low point of 88.8%.
For the convenience of applicants and to increase occupancy, as the UAC drew applicants from
the waitlist, letters were sent, indicating their preferred development(s) and asking them to
contact the development(s) directly. The site staff rather than the UAC completed eligibility
interviews, certification, and leasing. This process has worked well. The occupancy percentage
began moving upward and as of December 2014, was 96.4%. Almost all sites now have
occupancy under control. Staff plans to reintroduce the working preference in January 2015.
February 5, 2015
Year-end office closures
David Clark report that, in response to the 2013 federal sequestration, senior staff proposed a
initiative to close SAHA offices at the end of the year to save on cost of physically operating
offices and staff salaries. In 2013, the first SAHA year-end closure, the operations staff
experienced virtually no problems, and staff morale was noticeably buoyed by the break. SAHA
therefore repeated the closure this year, with the last day of work on Tuesday, December 23,
2014 and offices reopened on Friday, January 2, 2015. The closure was communicated to the
residents in the Neighbors magazine, and in the December Bulletin and rent statement flyer.
Bilingual signs were posted at all sites and the Central Office. Staff also included messages in
eblasts, email replies, and discussions with residents, employees, and partners.
Public Housing department provides critical, time-sensitive services to its residents; some staff
was available for emergencies. Maintenance staff was on-call, just as it always is, at night and
on weekends. A small crew of administrative staff worked each weekday, from 8 a.m. to 12
p.m., at Alazan, available to serve the needs of residents at any community who might have
required urgent services, such as an emergency transfer due to a safety or security issue.
Volunteer staff from all developments took turns with these duties. They reported very little
activity. The Committee asked staff to follow up with a report on how much money was saved.
Quarterly Ombudsman report
Vanessa Chavez stated the Quarterly Ombudsman Report provides a breakdown of all inquiries
regarding resident and program participant requests for assistance during the months of
October 2014 through December 2014. There were 88 cases total, with 53 cases closed and
35 cases pending. Of the 88 cases, 65 were Public Housing, 15 were Section 8, 2 were Unified
Application Center, 2 were Tax Credit, and 4 were Non-Profit. Ms Chavez provided a list of
recommendations to staff, which resulting from the process to resolve the various matters. The
Committee asked that property names be added to the next quarterly report. This report will be
provided at the February Board meeting.
Education Investment Foundation and Community Development Initiatives quarterly report
Adrian Lopez stated CDI works on focusing on fulfilling SAHA’s strategic goal to empower and
equip families to improve their quality of life and achieve economic stability. He provided a list
of target metrics, together with the related accomplishments, progress and status.
Business Opportunity Academy
Mr. Lopez stated since 2013, 41 participants have attended the Academy. This year, the BOA
will be expanded to 50 participants and will include two extra sessions. The next BOA is
scheduled for February 2015. The BOA reaches traditionally under-served communities by
targeting Small, Minority, and Women Owned Enterprises. The BOA provides 12 hours of
instruction presented through workshops, hands-on seminars, and networking functions over
the course of four weeks. Participants also receive one-on-one assistance from lenders who
consult with each participant on creating a path to greater financial viability.

Dr. Morris Stribling, Chair, Operations and Choice Committee Meeting
SUBJECT:
Operations & Choice Neighborhood Committee Meeting held at the Lofts
at Marie McGuire on January 22, 2015.
An Operations and Choice Neighborhood Committee meeting was held on January 22, 2015.
Attendees included Chair Morris Stribling, Commissioner Rodriguez, Commissioner Yolanda
Hotman, President and CEO Lourdes Castro Ramírez, and SAHA staff.
The following topics were discussed at the committee meeting:
Choice Neighborhood
Dr. Christine Drennon provided a presentation on the work plan for the Neighborhood
component of Choice, which includes economic development, housing, safety and security, and
health and wellness.
Resolution 5460, authorizing the President and CEO to: purchase lots and vacant/abandoned
buildings for a cumulative total not to exceed $363,000, within the EastPoint Infill Project Area.
Tim Alcott stated staff is seeking authorization to purchase lots and vacant/abandoned homes
located within the EastPoint Choice Infill Housing area, utilizing approximately $363,000 of
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds, as part of the EastPoint Choice
Neighborhood Transformation Plan. Plans include the demolition of abandoned buildings, and
the subsequent sale of the lots to builders to construct new homes for income-qualified
homebuyers up to 120% of area median income (AMI). SAHA is working with the City of San
Antonio to finalize a contract for the NSP funds. Eight (8) lots and/or vacant houses are
pending sale to SAHA, upon Board approval, ranging in price from $8,000 to $18,000, with
closings tentatively planned for March 2015. The purchase prices for the lot and abandoned
buildings are based on appraised values (Integra Realty Resource) to determine fair market
value. The Committee voted to forward the item to the full Board.
Resolution 5457, Authorizing the award of a contract for demolition services for the Blueridge
Neighborhood to J.R. Ramon & Sons.
Steven Morando and Mr. Alcott stated this action would provide demolition and associated
services to thirty-nine (39) vacant homes and one (1) lot located in the Blueridge Neighborhood,
in preparation for the future new construction of forty (40) single family residential units. The
Blueridge Neighborhood is part of the Westside Revitalization Initiative for the four former HOPE
VI neighborhoods. The Blueridge Neighborhood is the largest of the four (4) neighborhoods and
is the first phase of the revitalization of these neighborhoods. J.R. Ramon & Sons, Inc. is the
highest rated responsive and responsible proposer, and is therefore being recommended for
contract award. The Committee voted to forward the item to the full Board.
Resolution 5458, authorizing the award of a contract for fleet services to the City of San Antonio
(COSA) through an intergovernmental agreement for an annual amount not to exceed
$450,000.00 for a period of one year.
David Nisivoccia stated the contract will provide fleet-related maintenance, repair and fueling
services for 180 SAHA-owned vehicles and off-road equipment. Specific services that are
provided by COSA under this agreement include preventive maintenance, as-needed
unscheduled mechanical repairs, vehicle towing, road calls, yearly vehicle safety inspections,
car/truck washes, fuel, and collision damage repair. The cost for fleet services is not expected
to exceed an annual amount of $450,000.00, or an average of $2,500.00 per vehicle per year
February 5, 2015
for maintenance, fuel, inspections, etc., and will be funded through the departments’ operating
budgets. The Committee voted to forward the item to the full Board.
Resolution 5459, authorizing the award of a contract for benefits consultant to McGriff, Seibles
& Williams of Texas, Inc. for an annual amount not to exceed $65,000.00 for a period of one
year, with the option to renew for two (2) additional one-year periods.
Mr. Nisivoccia stated SAHA requires a benefits consultant to provide administration and
placement of employee benefits, to include but not limited to the design and bidding of medical,
dental, life, disability and voluntary benefits, including flexible spending and Employee
Assistance Program for SAHA employees. The cost for the Employee Benefits Consultant’s fee
is not expected to exceed an annual amount of $65,000.00 and will be funded through the
operating budget. McGriff, Seibels & Williams of Texas, Inc. was the highest rated responsive
and responsible proposer, and is therefore being recommended for a contract award. The
Committee voted to forward the item to the full Board.
Resolution 5461, authorizing a change order to mowing and grounds maintenance services
contracts to A&S Landscaping.(HABE, Section 3 Business) in the amount of $63,000.00 and
R&C Landscaping , LLC (ESBE, HABE, SBE, Section 3 Business) in the amount of $40,000.00,
for a period not to exceed three months.
Mr. Morando stated the change order will provide continued mowing and grounds maintenance
services to 39 Public Housing properties for a period not to exceed three months while an award
to the new Request For Proposals (RFP) for these services is being finalized. This action will
result in the following increases to the contractors’ agreements and will be funded through the
properties operating budgets: A&S Landscaping - $63,000, or 10.2%, and R&C Landscape,
LLC - $40,000, or 15.3%, of their current contracts. The Committee voted to forward the item to
the full Board.
2015 payment standards for the Housing Choice Voucher program.
Mr. Nisivoccia reported that in December 2013, Housing Choice Voucher staff began pulling
over 12,000 applicants off the wait list over the past year. The department was only able to
issue 2,000 new vouchers in 2014, largely due to the existing payment standards being below
the current rental market. Staff believes that the approved 2015 Payment Standard Schedule
for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which was approved by the Board of Commissioners
at the January 8, 2015 meeting, is consistent with the current market trends and will expand the
housing opportunities for our program participants. The 2015 Payment Standard Schedule was
set to be effective June 1, 2015 for all Housing Assistance Payment Contracts, based on the
current lease up success rate, staff is now recommending the 2015 Payment Standard
Schedule will be implemented and made effective February 1, 2015. This will be brought to the
Board at the February meeting as an action item.
Matt Garcia structural repairs.
Hector Martinez reported stated that in December, the Board approved a change order for
structural repairs for unforeseen structural deficiencies, demolition and replacement of a section
of the exterior stucco system with fiber-cement board siding, select exterior window
replacement, and interior drywall and floor system investigative demolition to selected areas. A
final cost of $66,050.00 has been agreed upon and finalized after negotiations. The work
continues, with Terracon, an approved vendor, having been engaged to write an abatement
work and monitoring plan for the community room flooring, which will be disturbed during
installation of structural columns.
FY2016 MTW Plan
Richard Milk stated SAHA is on track to complete the 2015-2016 Agency Plans in time for April
submission to HUD. This year, staff is considering a very limited number of new MTW activities.
One reason for this is the need to focus resources on the implementation of previously adopted
MTW activities (the MDRC Rent Study, in particular). Another reason is the need to take a long-
February 5, 2015
term view of agency and community goals, and incorporate that understanding into the MTW
Plan. The MTW Advisory Board, for example, has chosen to take some time to explore the
challenges associated with securing childcare. The MTW Plan will be presented to the Ops
Committee in March and to the full Board in April 2015.
Public Housing scorecard
David Clark stated staff is working to design a new methodology to capture more meaningful,
holistic data than that captured by the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). It does not
measure, for example, customer service data in the form of work order turnaround time; or how
many residents participate in programs such as Jobs-Plus or Family Self Sufficiency. The new
“Scorecard” captures such data, as well as some of the data currently measured under PHAS.
Cost savings obtained through IT initiatives.
Jo Ana Alvarado stated one of SAHA’s six strategic goals is to “transform core operations to be
a high performing and financially strong organization.” In support of this goal, the Information
Technology (IT) Director has implemented costs reductions that have integrated new
technologies with new management strategies that streamlined the IT staff structure while still
providing quality technical support to the SAHA computer user community. The total cost
savings from the IT initiatives is estimated to be $1,187,383
Section 3 activities update
Adrian Lopez provided an update on the status of the steps undertaken in reviewing the Section
3 Policy. The update included progress on: Surveying Section 3 programs utilizing Section 3
workgroup; Developing a list of “Best Practices;” Surveying existing contracting opportunities
and developing a matrix; and Surveying Section 3 participants “residents and businesses”

RESOLUTION 5462, APPROVING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2015 PAYMENT STANDARD
SCHEDULE FOR THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER (HCV) PROGRAM ON FEBRUARY 9, 2015
President and CEO
Deborah Flach
Director of Assisted Housing Programs
REQUESTED ACTION:
Consideration and approval regarding Resolution 5462, approving the implementation of the 2015
payment standard schedule for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program on February 9, 2015.
PURPOSE:
Beginning in December 2013, HCV program staff began an aggressive lease-up process, pulling over
12,000 applicants off the waiting list over the past year. Despite these efforts, the department was
able to issue only 2,000 new vouchers in 2014, largely due to the existing payment standards being
below the current rental market. Staff believes that the approved 2015 payment standard schedule,
which was approved by the Board of Commissioners at the January 8, 2015 meeting, is consistent the
current market trends and will expand housing opportunities for our program participants.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated impact on the Housing Assistance Payment Contract remains 4.26%; however, due to
biennial and triennial recertifications, the increase will be phased in over a period of three (3) years.
There is an estimated impact to the current budget of $110,000 per month, based on the number of
movers and new admissions.
SUMMARY:
On January 8, 2015, the Board of Commissioners approved the 2015 payment standard schedule for
the HCV Program, through Resolution 5454. As approved, the 2015 payment standards are
scheduled to take effect on June 1, 2015 or later. However, staff believes the 2014 payment standard
schedule, presently effective through April 30, 2015, is negatively impacting lease-up success among
program participants, and implementation of the 2015 payment standard schedule, which is more
consistent with the current rental market, would improve lease-up success and expand housing
opportunities for our participants. Therefore, staff requests approval to implement the 2015 payment
standard schedule on February 9, 2015, for the following:



Program participants in the moving process;
New admissions into the program; and
Program participants with a recertification date of June 1, 2015 or later.
Staff will also review files for program participants whose calculated rent exceeds their monthly
adjusted income by 40%, to determine if an interim recertification is needed to provide optimal
housing assistance.

RESOLUTION 5463, APPROVING THE EXPENDITURE OF $75,000.00 FOR THE FINISH-OUT
OF THE BIBLIOTECH SPACE AT GARDENS AT SAN JUAN SQUARE, AND THE EXECUTION
OF ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH AND OTHER MATTERS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH.
President and CEO
_______________________________
Timothy E. Alcott
Interim Development Services &
Neighborhood Revitalization Officer
REQUESTED ACTION:
Consideration and approval regarding Resolution 5463, approving the expenditure of $75,000.00
for the finish-out of the BiblioTech space at Gardens at San Juan Square, and the execution of all
documents necessary to accomplish such and other matters in connection therewith.
PURPOSE:
This action will provide a portion of the cost to finish-out the 2,100-square-foot commercial space
at the Gardens at San Juan Square, for the creation of a digital library (BiblioTech), to be operated
by Bexar County and used by all residents of the Gardens and the surrounding community. A
BiblioTech would support SAHA’s Moving To Work educational goals, and would increase Internet
access to the low-income households in the community and the surrounding area. (According to
Open Technology Institute, San Antonio’s Westside has only 20% broadband penetration,
compared to 80-100% on the Northside).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total expenditure committed by the project is $189,700.00, to provide a series of interior and
exterior improvements in support of the BiblioTech site. The development’s contingency fund that
was created for unforeseen expenses will fund $114,700.00 of the cost, with the remaining funds of
$75,000.00 to be paid out of the property’s existing reserves, which were realized from the land
sale of San Juan Homes for the development. This activity is allowable for existing reserves per
Section 18(a)(5) of the Housing Act of 1937; however, an alternative source could be Moving To
Work funds.
SUMMARY:
The Gardens at San Juan Square completes the three-phase, 539-unit mixed-income
redevelopment of San Juan, and will be home to more than 1,500 children, adult and senior
residents. This location was proposed as a site for BiblioTech because of its close proximity for the
660 school-age youth living at San Juan and its educational and job training resources, as well as
its convenient pedestrian-friendly location and easy access to VIA bus routes.
On December 9, 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding between SAHA and Bexar County was
approved by Commissioners Court, to begin outlining the negotiations of a long-term lease for the
2,100 square foot space. On February 3, 2015, Bexar County Commissioners Court will consider
approval of the lease for the space that will occupy the Westside BiblioTech. This will be the
nation’s first fully digital library in an affordable housing community.

 Safety is important at all times. However, some risks are
greater during the cool weather months, such as fire.
 SAHA’s most vulnerable communities are the high rises and
these are receiving training first.
 SAHA makes year-round efforts to raise safety awareness
through publications, posters, flyers, and meetings with staff
and residents.
 In addition, the exterior and common areas of properties are
inspected throughout the year (quarterly) for safety.
 Given recent tragic events at the Wedgwood Senior Living
Apartments, SAHA has increased its efforts to assure
residents and staff alike that safety is a top priority.
 Risk Management, Property Management and the San Antonio
Fire Department (SAFD) are working together to provide this
training for residents.
 Resident volunteers from each floor are trained on how to act
and assist in the evacuation of a building in the unlikely event of
a fire.
 To date, several training sessions have been conducted with
excellent participation by both residents and staff.
 Once the fire warden training is complete, a fire drill observation
and evaluation will be conducted at scheduled properties.
 For any safety related comments, questions, or concerns,
please contact Veronica Guevara in Risk Management at
477-6110 and/or [email protected]
