RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE the 2012 Annual Report of the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee.

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 each regular and ongoing board, commission, or committee to 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. The annual report is to be submitted on the second Tuesday in December.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The 2012 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. The purpose of this Committee is to develop recommendations for the use of funding derived from the collection of 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 permitting conditions of approval to mitigate 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 (“Project”). One of the mitigation measures in the 2003 Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this Project called for the 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.

This Committee is charged with preparing an Expenditure Plan to facilitate joint administration of this funding for the benefit of unincorporated and incorporated North Richmond. Each Expenditure Plan recommended by the Committee is subject to the final approval of the Richmond City Council and the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. A copy of the current Expenditure Plan for 2012/2013 (covering January 2012 thru June 2013), as amended, is attached as Exhibit B. Next year the Committee will prepare recommendations for the new 2013/2014 Expenditure Plan for review by the County Board of Supervisors and Richmond City Council.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Committee will not be in compliance with Board policy.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
