No General Fund impact. Revenue Neutral.
There have been a number of large projects proposed by applicants and eventually approved by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors that require mitigation to offset the impacts to the communities where they are built and operate. One of many mechanisms that has been used to address impacts from these projects has been the creation of special mitigation funds to benefit the quality of life for the communities that are affected. Some of the funds are one time only and others are replenishing.
These funds include, but are not limited to, the Conoco Phillips fund, C&H Sugar Cogeneration Project Fund, Futures Fund, Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund, Dougherty Valley Fund, and others.
These special revenue funds were intended to be administered by the Supervisor serving in the district for the benefit of the district where the special revenue fund was created, unless specified otherwise when established.
