RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in an amount up to $8,500 from Contra Costa Keller Canyon Mitigation Trust Fund to host a free community Christmas party and toy giveaway for the residents of Bay Point.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$8,500, 100% Keller Canyon Mitigation Funding. No County match.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff will host a free community Christmas Party and Toy Giveaway for the residents of Bay Point. Last years event provided meals for 806 people. The meal consisted of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, and dessert. During the meal, local performers provided entertainment. Over 1,300 toys were given to the children of Bay Point. Our goal is to continue to develop positive relationships between the residents of Bay Point and the Office of the Sheriff by demonstrating our good will and sincerity at the event. The verifiable changes come from the increased witness participation in the community; developing trust is a key to our success.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of the Sheriff would not be able to host the annual Christmas party and toy giveaway.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Many families in Bay Point have very limited incomes. The Sheriff’s Christmas Party provides a meal and gifts to children who would otherwise not receive a traditional Christmas dinner or gifts during the holiday season.
