RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee Annual Report for 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

On June 18, 2002, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2002/377, which requires that each regular and ongoing board, commission, or committee shall annually report to the Board of Supervisors on its activities, accomplishments, membership attendance, required training/certification (if any), and proposed work plan or objectives for the following year, on the second Tuesday in December.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The 2009 Annual Report for the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee (Committee) is attached as Exhibit A. This Committee was formed in 2006, pursuant to the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding between the County and the City of Richmond, for the purpose of facilitating City and County coordination regarding the use of revenue generated from the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee which is subject to the joint-control of the City and County. The Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee was established by the City and County as a result of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared in 2003, as a means of mitigating potential impacts on North Richmond from the proposed expansion of waste processing and resource recovery operations located at the foot of Parr Boulevard in North Richmond. One of the mitigation measures in this EIR called for establishment of a Mitigation Fee to defray annual costs associated with collection and disposal of illegally dumped waste and associated impacts in North Richmond and adjacent areas. The Committee is charged with preparing recommended two year Expenditure Plans as a means of City and County jointly administering this funding for the benefit of unincorporated and incorporated North Richmond. Each Expenditure Plan is subject to final approval of the Richmond City Council and the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. A copy of the current two-year Expenditure Plan for 2008/2009 is attached as Exhibit B.
