RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACKNOWLEDGE an additional $5,000 in local match funding (for a maximum of $700,000) will be needed for the Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) administered by the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) to augment programs to address illegal dumping and enhance Montalvin Park in Montalvin Manor.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Contra Costa County will be required to provide a Local Match of $700,000 of the total project funding ($1,395,000). (64.3% Measure X Funds); (12.9% Community Development Block Grant funds); (11.4% Prop 68 funds); (8.6% Solid Waste Franchise fees); (1.4% General Fund); (1.4% County Service Area M-17 funds).
BACKGROUND:

    On February 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2022/41 approving and authorizing the Director of Public Works and Conservation and Development Director, or their designee, to execute all documents necessary to implement and secure payment for CCLGP administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Board of Supervisors also approved $695,000 in required local match funding. Due to further feedback from CalTrans regarding how local match funds are calculated, the County’s local match amount must be revised to $700,000. The additional $5,000 will be allocated from County Service Area M-17 funds.  
      
    Additional History:  
    The County often seeks state funding to augment our local funds, stretching local dollars to implement improvements that would not be possible otherwise. Assembly Bill 149 (Section 16) created the CCLGP in 2021, and was codified under the Streets and Highway Code §91.41 et al. On December 1, 2021, Caltrans announced the Call for Projects for the CCLGP, which is a competitive statewide program, to local communities to beautify and improve local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, and transit centers to clean and enhance public spaces. Through the combination of adding beautification measures and art installations in public spaces along with the removal of litter and debris, this effort will enhance communities and improve spaces for walking and recreation.  
    The intent of the CCLGP is to achieve the following goals:

    1. Reduce the amount of waste and debris within public rights-of-way, pathways, parks, transit centers, and other public spaces.
    2. Enhance, rehabilitate, restore, or install measures to beautify and improve public spaces and mitigate the urban heat island effect.
    3. Enhance public health, cultural connections, and community placemaking by improving public spaces for walking and recreation.
    4. Advance equity for underserved communities.
    The Project consists of the following infrastructure and non-infrastructure tasks:
    • Task 1 - Montalvin Park Sports Court Renovation, Phase 1
    • Task 2 – 6-month Countywide Public Outreach Campaign
    • Task 3 – 2-year Countywide Graffiti Abatement/Abandoned and Derelict RV/Boat Abatement
    • Task 4 – Proper Waste Collection, Prevention and Report Illegal Dumping signage
    • Task 5 – Countywide Community Clean Up Event (Nine locations – three each in West, Central and East County)
    • Task 6 – Grant Administration/Staff Time
    • Task 7 – Wireless high-definition surveillance cameras for illegal dumping hotspot monitoring
    On March 1, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that underserved communities throughout the state will receive $296 million in Clean California grants to remove litter and transform public spaces into points of pride. 329 project applications were received, and 105 projects, or approximately 30%, were awarded. Contra Costa County was awarded $695,000 to continue implementation of the Illegal Dumping Initiative and complete Phase 1 of the Montalvin Park Sports Court Renovation Project.  

    CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

    If not approved, the County will be unable to obtain CCLGP funding for the Project. This may delay implementation of the Project.
