6. Approval of Streamlined Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2014 for the Pleasanton Housing Authority Mr. Erickson reviewed with Commissioners the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA)that requires Public Housing Authorities(PHA's)to prepare and adopt a five-year Agency Plan and individual Annual Pin. He advised that while the Pleasanton Housing Authority does not haw its own Section 8 program, but it does own and administer 50 units of Public Housing at Kottinger Place,which requires the submission of an Agency Plan. The Commission was advised that a new Annual PHA Plan for fiscal year 2014 is now required to be submitted to HUD by mid-April. Mr. Erickson informed the Commission that staff worked with MidPen Housing last year to incorporate some new language into the plan to indicate the Housing Authority's intent to pursue demolition and disposition of Kottinger Place as part of the planned redevelopment of the complex, together with Pleasanton Gardens, as the future Kottinger Gardens project.. Chairperson Welsh was advised by Mr. Erickson that HUD did not require any additional information on the projected use of Capital Funds other than site improvement' Commissioner Casey questioned whether this authority would go away once Kottinger Place was demolished. Mr. Bocian advised that no reporting would be necessary since the Housing Authority would not be active and would not own any assets. However, the Housing Authority would likely remain in place for other purposes. A motion was made by Commissioner Lopez, seconded by Commissioner Mermelstein, recommending adoption of the draft resolution approving the Annual PHA Plan for fiscal year 2014, and authorizing staff to submit to HUD by the applicable deadline.
