No General Fund impact. These actions allocate $350,000 from the District V portion of the Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund). The current balance in the District V portion of the Fund is $1,683,505.33.
The Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund) is a Special Revenue Mitigation Fund 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. Pursuant to the conditions of approval for this project, the residential developers pay an $8,000 per unit fee (excluding affordable housing portions of the project) to the County to implement the County's Smart Growth Action Plan. The Fund was established to serve as repository for these fees. 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 the supervisorial districts. At complete build-out, fee deposits to the Fund will total $8,448,000. As of May 20, 2019, the account has collected $8,120,000 in fees and $672,526.63 in accrued interest with $6,007,377.63 remaining in uncommitted funds. The approved expenditures to date are attached.
On July 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved a one-time KCMF allocation of $150,000 for the purpose of hiring a consultant to conduct radiologic health assessments at the Keller Canyon landfill. This allocation was in response to media reports that potentially toxic soil being removed as part of the clean up at Hunters Point Naval Weapon Station may have been improperly directed to the Keller Canyon landfill. The allocation also impacted KCMF reserves that would be used for funding programs and projects in FY 2019/20. In order to address the reduction of funds available for FY 2019/20 and address reduced revenues, District V proposed the use of its share of the Livable Communities Trust Fund to cover three allocations this year that, in previous years, were funded from the KCMF.
Bay Point Resident Deputy Program
The Bay Point Resident Deputy Program is proposed to provide enhanced law enforcement services to Bay Point to enhance the ability to significantly improve residents of Bay Point's quality of life by reducing crime, increasing public trust, and eliminating threats to vulnerable populations. The program is proposed to create continuity of enforcement strategies within the Bay Point community, which should lead to a more attractive setting for businesses and economic revitalization. The Bay Point Resident Deputy Program supports Goal 4 of the Smart Growth Action Plan to promote economic revitalization in urban infill communities.
Bay Point Code Enforcement Program
The Bay Point Code Enforcement Program is proposed to provide additional focused code enforcement to address complaints of junkyards, abandoned properties, illegal land-use, substandard / unsafe buildings, illegal/unsafe mobile homes, construction without permits and abandoned vehicles. The Code Enforcement program will ensure that the County regulations are adhered to within the Bay Point community, and alleviate blight, which is a deterrent to economic revitalization. The Code Enforcement Program supports Goal 4 of the Smart Growth Action Plan to promote economic revitalization in urban infill communities.
East County Beautification Program
The East County Beautification Program is proposed to provide community upgrades in Bay Point through roadside cleanup of litter, trash, appliances, tires, abandoned vehicles and other waste materials, as well as landscape maintenance throughout the community. A cleaner and safer community will attract commercial and retail interest in Bay Point. The East County Beautification Program supports Goal 4 of the Smart Growth Action Plan to promote economic revitalization in urban infill communities.
Not approving the recommended allocations will reduce the funding for these programs and the level of FY 2019/20 service provision in the Bay Point community.
The Bay Point Resident Deputy Program, Bay Point Code Enforcement Program, and East County Beautification Program each support outcome 5: Communities are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
