ALAMEDA COUNTY �L�II❑
June 7, 1982
The Honorable Peter Snyder
Mayor of the City of Dublin
6500 Dublin Boulevard, Rm 218
Dublin, CA 94566
Dear Mayor Snyder:
The Alameda County Housing Authority operates the Section 8 Housing
Assistance Program for low-income persons in the cities of Southern
Alameda County with the exception of the City of Livermore, which
operates its own program. There are currently 16 families being
assisted under this program in the City of Dublin.
With the incorporation of the City of Dublin, there are two actions
which should be taken so that the Housing Authority can continue to
assist the residents of the City.
First, the City should adopt a resolution of consent (attached) which
authorizes the Housing Authority to operate a program in the City.
A copy of the resolution certified by the City Clerk should be sent to
the Housing Authority office.
Second, the City should consider nominating a representative to the
Housing Authority' s policy-making board, the Housing Commission.
Prior to the City' s incorporation, the City of Pleasanton and the
Dublin area were represented by Ms. Christine Pearson, a resident of
Pleasanton. Because of the small number of units in Dublin, the
City Council may wish to maintain the current situation.
If the City chooses to name its own representative, however, the following
information should be considered in making your nomination;
1) The representative must be a resident of the City.
2) The representative may be a member of the City Council .
3) The nomination must be submitted to the Alameda County
Board of Supervisors for final approval .
4) The Housing Commission is currently composed of 11 members,
one representative from each of the cities served and two
Housing Authority tenants.
5) The Housing Commission meets at 9 a.m. the second Wednesday
of each month, generally at the Housing Authority's office
in the City of Hayward.
