RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE 2013 Annual Report submitted by the Finance Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. This is an informational report only.

BACKGROUND:

On December 13, 2011, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497, which requires that each regular and ongoing board, commission, or committee shall annually report to the Board of Supervisors on its activities, accomplishments, membership attendance, required training/certification (if any), and proposed work plan or objectives for the following year. The attached report fulfills this requirement for the Finance Committee.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

All Finance Committee reports from 2009 onward and attachments can be found on the County website at http://ca-contracostacounty.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=2286.

♦ Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding for economic development and infrastructure/public facilities;
♦ Methodology for Interest Calculations on Construction Deposits;
♦ Establishing and Funding a Capital Renewal Fund for Facility Maintenance and Replacement;
♦ Real Estate Asset Management Plan (RAMP) Annual Report and Policy;
♦ Regular Capital Facility Updates and Specific Building Projects Including the Sheriff-Coroner Administration Central County Office;
♦ Specific On-Call Differentials for Unrepresented Management Positions;
♦ Single Audit;
♦ Changing the Community Development Block Grant Funding Cycles to Coincide with the Five-year Consolidated Plan;
♦ Special Revenues Administered by the Board of Supervisors (Livable Communities Trust Fund, Child Care Affordability Fund, CCCFutures Fund);
♦ Policy Governing the Use of Special Revenues; and
♦ Proposal to Initiate a Voter Education and Information Pilot Program to Create Opportunities for the Public to Become More Informed, Award, and Involved with Current Civic Issues and to Foster a Culture of Civic Responsibility and Engagement.

At year end, the Finance Committee had pending referrals on:

♦ Continuing to develop strategic priorities to guide the budget development process including defining core services;
♦ Continuing to evaluate funding priorities for FLIP;
♦ Continuing to implement and evaluate the Real Estate Asset Management Plan (RAMP); and
♦ Continuing to review and update the binder on Special Revenues Administered by the Board of Supervisors.
