Receive report on County needs and trends from PolicyLink.
|
| |
Jamila Henderson from PolicyLink provided a statistical report from the Bay Area Equity Atlas. Note that the slides were modified from those originally posted with the agenda. Slide 10 (water debt) was updated with corrected data extracts from the California Water Board, slides 11 and 12 were updated to include legends, and for consistency footers were removed throughout. Subsequent to the meeting Ms. Henderson provided the following information on questions asked during the presentation. We know about households behind on rent because of the Household Pulse Survey which did not exist before the pandemic, so we don’t have information on households behind on rent before the pandemic, unfortunately. At least not from that source. 8% of Contra Costa County renter households are behind on rent (11,246 Contra Costa households behind on rent out of 134,525 renter households). This is down from earlier during the pandemic. |

Receive report regarding the County budget and revenues.
|
| |
Lisa Driscoll, County Finance Director provided a budget 101 presentation intended to provide a tool of where to find County budget data. The Board of Supervisors heard a similar report during the Budget Hearings of April 20, 2021. The budget is a core/baseline budget and includes no appropriations for COVID-19 expense, American Rescue Plan Act funds, and very little for Measure X ($665,000). The final budget is due to be adopted by the Board of Supervisors on May 11, 2021. Separate and apart from adoption of the County Budget the Board of Supervisors will receive a report on the American Rescue Act dollars and recommended appropriation of those dollars. The MXCAB requested that the report be provided to them as well. With respect to the Measure X general purpose dollars, the MXCAB will be making recommendations on the annual amount and approximately $22 million in one-time monies that are projected to be collected for the period of April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. |
