RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Manager to execute a short form service contract with Joice Dementshuk, representative of the Tara Hills Community Association, in the amount of $20,000 to provide support for beautification projects in the unincorporated Tara Hills area for the period of November 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Richmond Sanitary Service (RSS) Abatement Funds.

BACKGROUND:

A group of Tara Hills residents have organized an effort to beautify public rights of way in the unincorporated Tara Hills area. Meetings between Supervisor John Gioia’s office, Contra Costa Public Works Department and the community members have identified a number of projects which would beautify the community through the planting of new landscaping and including a new “Welcome to Tara Hills” sign.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Joice Dementshuk, representing the Tara Hills Community Association, will use RSS Abatement funds to support these beautification projects, including the purchase of plants and trees, landscaping material, hardscape, and some services to assist in the installation of the landscape materials. Community volunteer days will be held where local residents will carry out the beautification projects. Tara Hills resident Joice Dementshuk, representing the Tara Hills Community Association, has been coordinating this community effort and will be reimbursed for expenditures after providing the County with invoices for her expenditures in pursuit of the Tara Hills Beautification Project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Tara Hills Beautification Project would not occur.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Children benefit when communities are safe and provide a high quality of life. These beautification projects will make the community safer and improve the quality of life.
