SUBJECT: Remaining Relocation Requirements Generated by Pi•djectsl (a} and I(b)
Our Redevelopment Agency is now estimating that the need will develop fox
approximately 40 additional units of relocation housing to accommodate the
remaining project residents who will require and be eligible for City-provided
relocation facilities.
We presently have 27 units in two separate structures, moved to their present
location at a cost of $91, 000, Another 9 unit structure is available in the project
area which could be moved to the relocation housing site for an additional $36, 000.
It is conceivable that in providing a grand total of 67 units at an average moving
cost of from $3, 400 to $4, 000 per unit we may well be forced to an additional
expenditure and investment, in what is to us only. temporary structures, of as much
as $160, 000. This is of course based on the presumption that we will be able to
fsnd the necessary additional buildings to move,
We have been in#ormed, however, that an alternative procedure is available.
The Redevelopment Agency advises us, confirmed by the Home Housing and
Finance Agency, that City commitments for relocation of persons displaced by
the Ocean Park projects can be met through a rent supplementation program
ranging from $5 to $25 per month each, with an average of $15 per month.
The advantages to the City of adopting such a procedure, with adequate controls
and rigid guidelines, is obvious, Not only may we expect to substantially reduce
our total expenditure, we may also spread it over the total period of the obliga-
tion, Furthermore, we will avoid adding to our complex of City-operated
housing,
As the guidelines which will control the administration of such a program, we
are suggesting the following:
1, The Santa Monsca Redevelopment Agency to continue its efforts to
relocate displaced project residents under the same standards and
procedures as now exist,
2. Rent supplementation to cease when and if:
a, A vacancy becomes available in the existing relocation housing.

b. The relocatee moves from within the corporate limits of the
City of Santa Monica.
c. Family or individual income reaches a level at which the rent
supplementation is ineligible.
d. Fifteen years have elapsed.
A resolution embodying the City's policy in this situation is required by H, H. ~'. A.
If the foregoing general proposal for dealing with the problem receives the
approval of the City Council, such a resolution will be prepared for adoption at
the regular meeting of April 14, 1964,

Under the redevelopment plan as approved by the Council, reloca-
tion was of necessity included because of Section 33714, The
expenses of relocation are unquestionably a "necessary or inci-
dental [expense] to the carrying out of the redevelopment plan."
It is therefore clear that there is ample authority to expend
money for such •rent supplementation, and that this may be ac-
complished by resolution appropriating such funds for this pur-
pose adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Council,
