RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the allocation of $168,199 from the Crockett Co-Generation Property Tax Allocation for four projects as recommended by the Crockett Community Foundation and Supervisor Glover.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

In September 1995, the Board of Supervisors appointed the Crockett Community Foundation as the advisory council to the Board regarding expenditures from the Community Benefits Program funded from property tax assessments on the Crockett Co-Generation Plant.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 7, 2017, by the attached Resolution 2017-1, the Crockett Community Foundation recommended that $168,199 in property taxes obtained from the Crockett Co-Generation Plant be allocated to the Crockett Community Foundation as follows:

$20,000 for the benefit of the Crockett Library to continue to provide six additional hours of operation and special library programs;
$46,295 for the benefit of the Crockett Recreation Department for capital improvements and maintenance at the Crockett Community Center, swimming pool, park facility, and utilities and landscaping at the Veteran's Hall;
$47,804 for the benefit of the Crockett Carquinez Fire Department for capital equipment and facility projects;
$54,100 for the benefit of the Crockett Sanitary Department for capital improvements in wastewater collection and treatment.

This request for the release of funds was forwarded to the County Administrator's Office for approval and processing.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the action is not approved, the community benefit plan developed by the Crockett Community Foundation for the allocation of return-to-source funds would be disrupted, resulting in a decreased amount of public services in Crockett.
