RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in an initial amount of $8,500 from the Contra Costa County Keller Mitigation Trust Fund. The funds will be used to provide bicycle helmets, bicycle repair, an instructional class on safety and bicycle raffles for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$8,500, 100% Keller Canyon Mitigation Funds. No matching County Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff, in partnership with the Street Smarts Program, Bike Mobile (mobile bike repair program) and County Health Services, will host a free bicycle safety rodeo to teach local youths about bicycle, pedestrian and railroad crossing safety. There is a sit down class of instruction on the above safety items. A practical application course has been set up for the youths to exercise and practice what they have learned. All participates will receive a free bike helmet. The Bike Mobile will repair, at no cost, bicycles brought to the event by local youths that are in need of repairs. Due to the financial economics of local families, many of the local youths do not own a bicycle. With the funding from the Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund, bicycles will be purchased and raffled free at the event. This event will also encourage the local youth to involve themselves in physical activity by riding their bicycles.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of the Sheriff would not be able to help host the Bay Point Bicycle Rodeo.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This event will encourage the local youth to involve themselves in physical activity by riding their bicycles.
