. . . . . . HOUSING AUTHORITY -2- NOVEMBER 6,1978 2. Administration/Management Review: A thorough review of the personnel policies building security measures, certification process for applicants, rent collection procedures, and secu- rity deposits and lease documents. The following corrections were requested: security deposits no longer required by Sec- tion 8 regulations and should be paid to three tenants who previously paid them; security coverage for evening and week- end periods should be instituted; and a Certificate of Assists form is required for each tenant file. Mr. Charles Peters, President of National Housing Consultants, Inc., responded to the two HUD letters with his own correspondence dated September 19 and 20,1978. The response letter to the HUD Engineering Review was very positive and Mr. Peters concurred with the findings in most cases. He did not agree with the following: equiping all exit doors with panic hardware; installation of additional security measures to ground floor windows and patio doors; and replacement of circulating pump for reflection pool. In Mr. Peters' letter to the HUD Management Review, he also responded to most of the HUD findings in a positive fasion. One major area of disagreement exists, that of building security measures, and this will have to be researched more in detail before the Housing Authority can accept Mr. Peter's position. Councilman Harry Yamamoto commented on the Senior Citizens Project (Santa Ana Towers). He asked why the Housing Authority staff took so long in making the inspection, why was it not made sooner. (i.e. If a senior citizen has problems with his carpet, must he wait nine months or until another inspection before it is repaired) and was this inspection/review an expense to the Housing Authority Commission. Mr. Manuel Rede, Executive Director, answered Councilman Yamamoto's questions by stating that quarterly reports are being made to the Housing Authority to the progress of the Santa Ana Towers and that the inspection/review was made by HUD at no expense to the Santa Ana Housing Authority Commission.
