RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to transfer $360,000 from Park Dedication/Park Impact Fund Accounts identified to Contra Costa County Public Works Department to help finance improvements at the El Sobrante Reading Garden Park and Community Building located at 4191 Appian Way in El Sobrante; and APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5046 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $360,000 from Park Dedication/Park Impact Funds and appropriating it to the Public Works Department to finance improvements at the El Sobrante Reading Garden Park and Community Building located at 4191 Appian Way in El Sobrante.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Impact to the General Fund, 100% Park Dedication and Park Impact Fees that have accumulated in the El Sobrante census tracts will be used to finance the improvements.

BACKGROUND:

Proposed Improvements

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Located next to the El Sobrante Reading Garden, the El Sobrante Community Building will serve as a community center for the unincorporated community of El Sobrante. Once the building meets current safety standards, it will provide a venue for community groups to hold meetings and host community events. The parking lot improvements will provide ADA access to the park and the community events

hosted at the El Sobrante Community Building. The ability to utilize the Community Building adjacent to the park will provide a synergy between community group gatherings, community events, and park activities.

The County has approved Building Improvements for 4191 Appian Way in El Sobrante Community Building and parking area for the Community Building and El Sobrante Reading Garden park. The project consists of parking area repairs, repairing the existing foundation of the Community Building, and American with Disability Act (ADA) improvements in both the parking area and the building.

The proposed park and recreational improvements will serve the residents of unincorporated El Sobrante.

Park Fund Background
The County imposes fees on residential development to fund park and recreational facilities under both the County's Park Dedication Ordinance and the County's Park Impact Fee Ordinance. Funds from these fees are deposited into accounts associated with the census tract where the residential development occurs to ensure the funds are directed to park and recreational facilities which serve the residents of the development. The following table outlines the El Sobrante Park Dedication and Park Impact fee accounts that will be used for the project. Use of the park fees identified are reasonably related to improvements at the Community Building adjacent to the Reading Garden and are consistent with government code section 6601(a)(3)-(4), because the Building serves the entire El Sobrante Community, including the areas from which the proposed expenditures were collected.
