RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE an allocation of $7,000 of FY 2018/19 Keller Canyon Mitigation funds (KCMF), District V Initiatives, on behalf of the Contra Costa County Elections Department, for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access improvements to the Ambrose Community Center and a polling center for Contra Costa County elections, as recommended by the Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund Review Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Recommended funding will come from unallocated FY 2018/19 Keller Canyon Mitigation Funds (KCMF) and, therefore, the action will have no impact on the County's General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

On August 7, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2018/19 KCMF Allocation Plan (Plan). As part of the Plan, 91 projects/programs/initiatives were granted funding totaling $1,466,120. A balance of $127,185 in KCMF funds remained unallocated and kept in reserve to address any requests for additional funding or emerging issues. Of this amount, $7,000 (the recommended allocation) originates from unexpended funds that were allocated to Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder Department in FY 2017/18 for the same project. These funds were recaptured due to the project being completed after the conclusion of FY 2017/18. On October 10, 2018, the Committee recommended that these funds be reallocated to District V to pay for the improvements recently completed at the Ambrose Community Center polling location, located at 3105 Willow Pass Road, in the Bay Point area. Improvements included accessibility improvements to the front door area, and the replacement of the deteriorated unloading area at the ADA parking location.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not approving the recommended allocation could continue creating barriers to accessible voting during County elections, which would violate Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The allocation of KCMF funding for ADA access improvements to the Ambrose Community Center supports the following outcome in the Children's Report Card: families are safe, stable, and nurturing.
