RECOMMENDATION(S):

ALLOCATE $6,000 from the Livable Communities Trust (District II portion) to the Public Works Department for the construction of pedestrian signage at the intersection of Blackhawk Road and Oakridge Lane in unincorporated Danville, as recommended by Supervisor Andersen.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No General Fund impact. This proposed action allocates $6,000 from the District II portion of the Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund). The current balance in the District II portion of the Fund is $1,430,519.35 (this total does not reflect the proposed $6,000 allocation).

BACKGROUND:

The Livable Communities Trust Fund is a Special Revenue Mitigation Fund that was established by the Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2005, following the approval of the Camino Tassajara Combined General Plan Amendment Project, also known as the Alamo Creek and Intervening Property residential projects, and was required as a condition of approval. The Fund was established to implement the County’s Smart Growth Action Plan. The residential developers pay an $8,000 per unit fee (excluding the affordable housing portions of the projects) into the Fund. The Department of Conservation and Development administers the Fund. On December 3, 2013, the Board of Supervisors determined that revenue from the Fund should be spent equally among supervisorial districts. At complete build-out, deposits to the Fund will total $8,448,000. As of August 31, 2022, the account has collected $8,376,000 in revenue fees, and $893,886.74 accrued interest with $4,891,493.10 remaining in uncommitted funds. The approved expenditures to date are attached.

The County Public Works Department intends to construct pedestrian signage as well as two flashing beacons at the intersection of Blackhawk Road and Oakridge Lane in unincorporated Danville. The District II Supervisor supports allocating $6,000 of District II's portion of the Fund towards this project. The labor is expected to be completed by County Public Works Maintenance staff. The project supports goal five of the Smart Growth Action Plan to help fund transit and transportation improvements which foster smart growth principles.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The construction of pedestrian signage at the intersection of Blackhawk Road and Oakridge Lane in unincorporated Danville supports outcome 5: Communities are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
