body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing Commission adopted a series of policies when the Napa County Housing Authority took over management and ownership of the three farmworker centers including the Lodging Revenue and Deposits Policy & Procedure, which provides direction to the contract operator on how to collect and deposit rent revenues on behalf of the Housing Authority. The recommended revisions (redline document attached) will help reduce operational expenses related to travel (depositing at bank), by increasing the deposit requirement from $1,500 to $3,200.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State of CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA ins not applicable.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
California Human Development Corporation (CHDC) is currently the contract operator for the Housing Authority (Authority). CHDC staff (onsite managers and administrative assistant) collect lodging revenue and makes deposits on behalf of the Authority and in accordance with the Lodging Revenue and Deposits Policy & Procedure (Policy). The current Policy requires farmworker center managers transfer revenue to the Administrative Assistant when revenues on hand exceed $1,500 the prior day.
