RECOMMENDATION(S):

ALLOCATE $250,000 from the Livable Communities Trust (District IV portion) to Monument Crisis Center, as recommended by Supervisor Mitchoff.

AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract, subject to approval by the County Administrator and approval as to form by County Counsel, with Monument Crisis Center in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to augment programs for meal delivery, social services, job training and education and for referrals for services provided by other organizations to families and individuals in crisis situations for the period October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No General Fund impact. The $250,000 required for the contract will come from the District IV allocation of the deposits into the Livable Community Trust. The current available balance in the District IV portion of the fund is approximately $787,000 (this total does not reflect the proposed $250,000 allocation).

BACKGROUND:

The Livable Communities Trust Fund is a Special Revenue Mitigation Fund that was 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, and was required as a condition of approval. The Fund was established to implement the County’s Smart Growth Action Plan. The residential developers pay an $8,000 per unit fee (excluding the affordable housing portions of the projects) into the Fund. 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 supervisorial districts. At complete build-out, deposits to the Fund will total $8,448,000. As of June 1, 2022, the account has collected $8,376,000 in revenue fees, and $880,125.68 accrued interest with $4,827,732.04 remaining in uncommitted funds. The approved expenditures to date are attached.

Monument Crisis Center is community-based nonprofit family resource center for Central and East Contra Costa County. The Monument Crisis Center provides food, education, assistance, referrals to families and individuals in crisis situations, and promotes community awareness of needs and available resources to at-risk and low income people in Contra Costa County. The proposed livable community trust funds from the County would be used by Monument Crisis Center to augment programs for meal delivery, social services, job training and education and for referrals for services provided by other organizations to families and individuals in crisis situations. The use of the funds for these programs will support Smart Growth Action Plan number 4: To promote economic revitalization and urban infill communities.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The contract with the Monument Crisis Center will support the following children’s outcome: (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
