ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION N0. 8494: Approving Agreement with Mr. Anthony Ciotti for Services
Relative to the City's Community Housing Improvement
Program (CHIP)
SUBMITTED BY~ Director of Building and Housi
Community Development Director
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) staff consists of one full-time Housing
Inspector from the Building and Housing Department and one Administrative Analyst from the

under the position would include, but not be limited to, coordinating the efforts of property

other departmental duties; and bring greater administrative continuity to the program. It
is proposed to hire, on a~6-month trial contract basis, Mr. Anthony Ciotti of Chula Vista
for this purpose. Mr. Ciotti was formally the Navy Flousing Officer for the San Diego
region and also was employed by the Gersten Company. His knowledge of housing assistance
and administrative capability is therefore substantial.
