RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2013/78 establishing a Targeted Employment Area for the Pittsburg/Bay Point Enterprise Zone pursuant to Section 7072(i) of the Government Code in order to encourage businesses within the Enterprise Zone to hire eligible residents from census tracts that are comprised of residents of which at least 51 percent are of low or moderate income.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has no fiscal impact. The cost associated with the administration of the Enterprise Zone program is budgeted for through a contract between the Workforce Development Board and the City of Pittsburg and a grant from the Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

In 2012 Contra Costa County and the City of Pittsburg completed the requirements for a Final Designation from the California State Department of Housing and Community Development for the Pittsburg/Bay Point Enterprise Zone. Section 7072(i) of the Government Code allows for the designation of a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) to encourage businesses in an Enterprise Zone to hire eligible residents from census tracts that have at least 51 percent of its residents with low or moderate incomes. Only those qualifying census tracts within the boundaries of the jurisdictions (i.e., unincorporated Contra Costa County and/or the City of Pittsburg) governing an enterprise zone may be included in a TEA. Where a census tract is shared between a jurisdiction which is a participant in the enterprise zone and a non-participant jurisdiction, only those areas within the participating jurisdiction may be included in the TEA. Sixteen qualifying census tracts entirely within the boundaries of the jurisdictions and 64 qualifying census tracts partially within the boundaries of the jurisdictions have been identified and mapped. See map attached to Resolution 2013/78.

The following census tracts where applicable, within the territorial jurisdictions of the County of Contra Costa and/or the City of Pittsburg, having been determined to have at least 51 percent of its residents with low or moderate incomes and are hereby identified as those census tracts which are in the most need of employment targeting pursuant to Government Code Section 7072(i):

Census Tract 3141.02; Census Tract 3100; Census Tract 3090; Census Tract 3141.04; Census Tract 3141.03; Census Tract 3040.03; Census Tract 3580; Census Tract 3570; Census Tract 3560.01; Census Tract 3132.06; Census Tract 3142; Census Tract 3131.01; Census Tract 3120; Census Tract 3132.03; Census Tract 3110; Census Tract 3040.02; Census Tract 3020.06*; Census Tract 3131.03*; Census Tract 3700*; Census Tract 3620*; Census Tract 3672*; Census Tract 3671*; Census Tract 3072.05*; Census Tract 3060.02*; Census Tract 3050*; Census Tract 3650.02*; Census Tract 3690.02*; Census Tract 3780*; Census Tract 3640.02*; Census Tract 3922*; Census Tract 3630*; Census Tract 3901*; Census Tract 3032.05*; Census Tract 3891*; Census Tract 3591.03*; Census Tract 3601.01*; Census Tract 3610*; Census Tract 3602*; Census Tract 3592.03*; Census Tract 3592.02*; Census Tract 3591.02*; Census Tract 3010*; Census Tract 3400.01*; Census Tract 3650.03*; Census Tract 3511.01*; Census Tract 3511.03*; Census Tract 3250*; Census Tract 3220*; Census Tract 3212*; Census Tract 3211.01*; Census Tract 3170*; Census Tract 3160*; Census Tract 3511.02*; Census Tract 3390.02*; Census Tract 3551.15*; Census Tract 3240.01*; Census Tract 3382.03*; Census Tract 3381.02*; Census Tract 3200.04*; Census Tract 3332*; Census Tract 3331.02*; Census Tract 3331.01*; Census Tract 3551.07*; Census Tract 3270*; Census Tract 3552*; Census Tract 3060.04*; Census Tract 3430.01*; Census Tract 3410*; Census Tract 3211.03*; Census Tract 3200.01*; Census Tract 3190*; Census Tract 3180*; Census Tract 3150*; Census Tract 3131.02*; Census Tract 3132.04*; Census Tract 3072.02*; Census Tract 3072.01*; Census Tract 3031.02*; Census Tract 3020.08*; and Census Tract 3031.03*.
