RECOMMENDATION(S):

ALLOCATE $40,000 from the Livable Communities Trust (District IV portion) to Choice in Aging to provide the Choice in Aging Infrastructure Workforce Development Project for the period January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, as recommended by Supervisor Mitchoff.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No General Fund impact. This action allocates $40,000 from the District IV portion of the Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund). The current balance in the District IV portion of the Fund is $1,471,265.28.













BACKGROUND:

The Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund) is a Special Revenue Mitigation Fund that was established by the Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2005, following the approval of the Camino Tassajara Combined General Plan Amendment Project, also known as the Alamo Creek and Intervening Property residential projects, and was required as a condition of approval. The Fund was established to implement the County's Smart Growth Action Plan. The residential developers pay an $8,000 per unit fee (excluding affordable housing portions of the projects) into the Fund. The Department of Conservation and Development administers the Fund. On December 3, 2013, the Board of Supervisors determined that revenue from the Fund should be spent equally among supervisorial districts. At complete build-out, deposits to the Fund will total $8,448,000. As of November 13, 2018, the account has collected $8,040,000 in fees and $567,261 in accrued interest with $6,105,786 remaining in uncommitted funds. The approved expenditures to date are shown in Attachment A.   
  
Choice in Aging is a local nonprofit that has served Contra Costa County's seniors and individuals with disabilities since 1949. Through various programs, Choice in Aging provides services that enable individuals to avoid unnecessary institutionalization and inpatient hospitalization. The Livable Communities Trust funds will be used for a consultant, staff time, and materials to streamline program delivery and training that will result in the creation of up to 30 new jobs and service provision for up to 150 new clients. Choice in Aging is in the pre-development stage of building 82 units of housing on its Pleasant Hill campus. This objective meets goal 1 of the Smart Growth Action Plan to "Clean up land for redevelopment or enhance the tax base and create jobs near existing housing".  
  
The next step will be for the Department of Conservation and development to work with Choice in Aging to draft a professional services contract for execution by Choice in Aging and the County Purchasing Agent.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Choice in Aging will not be able to streamline processes that result in hiring new employees and serving more clients.
