PolicyConsiderations
Policy Considerations: The proposed renewal of the Oak Park PBID aligns with the Public Housing Authority’s Annual Plan, as the OPPBID promotes increased safety and security in the community through its efforts in graffiti abatement, litter removal, streetscape maintenance, and additional safety measures.

EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Pursuant to Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, section 15378(b)(2), the recommended actions are not considered a “project,” as they constitute continuing administrative activities.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): The Housing Authority’s BID assessment is determined by its ownership of parcels located within District boundaries. The Housing Authority does not exercise sufficient control or responsibility over how BID assessment funds are used, and the recommended action involves minimal federal funding. Therefore, the recommended actions do not constitute a “major Federal action” as defined under 42 U.S.C. section 4336€, and NEPA does not apply.

Commission/Committee Action
Commission/Committee Action: Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission: It is anticipated that at its April 15, 2026, meeting, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission will approve the staff recommendation for this item. If that does not happen, staff will inform the Housing Authority Board.

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: In 2004, it was determined that formation of a PBID could enhance the viability of Oak Park and efforts have been successful. The PBID services benefit approximately 388 parcels with 115 parcel owners and numerous businesses. The approximate boundaries are parcels fronting Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between 12th Avenue and Broadway Street, parcels fronting Broadway between Solidad Way and Alhambra Boulevard, and parcels on the adjacent streets. The PBID’s efforts are around graffiti abatement, litter removal, streetscape maintenance, and safety measures. These services and activities will improve district cleanliness and safety, increase building occupancy and lease rates, and encourage new business development and services for properties. Overall, they support a safer and more economically vital Oak Park area which benefits Housing Authority residents and the community.
End
FinancialConsiderations
Financial Considerations: This report recommends authorizing the Housing Authority to allocate and utilize Conventional Housing funds to pay an annual assessment to the PBID. There are three tiers of assessments in the PBID, based on ownership, and they are: Standard ($0.05 per square foot per year), Public ($0.07 per square foot per year), and Private Tax-Exempt, Healthcare Use ($0.04 per square foot per year). The assessment amount is based on the size of the lot and is charged at a rate determined by its ownership. The Housing Authority’s assessment is based on the public ownership of the parcel and is therefore charged at $0.07 per square foot and totals approximately $14,107.83 in annual assessments. This assessment could increase to three percent each year, upon Board approval. Upon approval of the attached resolution and renewal of the PBIDs, the Housing Authority will be participating as a property owner with respect to the public housing site. Assessment rates may be subject to an increase of no more than three percent annually.
