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, and proposed work plan or objectives for the following year, on the second Tuesday in December.
The 2018 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. This Committee was formed 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 2018/2019 (covering July 2018 thru June 2019), is attached as Exhibit B. A recommendation by the Committee on a new Expenditure Plan for the 2019/2020 fiscal year is expected to be made in May 2019.
The revised 2017 annual report reflects corrected meeting attendance for Committee Members and Alternates.
The 2018 Advisory Body Annual Report submitted on behalf of the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee in accordance with Resolution No. 2002/377 would not be formally accepted.
