SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF TOSCO REFORMULATED GASOLINE PROJECT
RETURN-TO-SOURCE FUNDING FOR A RESIDENT DEPUTY IN RODEO
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the allocation of property tax return-to-source revenue from the Tosco
Reformulated Gasoline Project to fund a resident deputy in the Rodeo community as recommended
by the District lI Supervisor.
BACKGROUND:
During the FY 2004-2005 budget process, the Sheriffs Office eliminated funding for seven (7)
resident deputy positions countywide, including the resident deputy assigned to the Rodeo
community. Rodeo residents requested that restoration of the resident deputy be explored and
expressed concern that the loss of the position would lead to increased crime and delayed response
times by the Sheriff's Office.
At their meetings on November 22nd and December 20th, 2004, the Board's Finance Committee
received reports on funding options for continuation of the resident deputy and school resource
officer programs. The Tosco Reformulated Gasoline Project "Return-to-Source Funding (Rodeo
Unocal)" was identified as a resource for partial funding of the resident deputy in Rodeo. Separately,
the Board Approved on January 11, 2005, a one-time fund balance expenditure of$30,000 from
Front Line Law Enforcement funds toward the position. Subsequently, the Board acted on January
18, 2005 to allocate $40,000 of the Rodeo Unocal Return-to-Source revenue to fund the position.
The Finance Committee and the District II Supervisor have continued to explore options for future
funding into FY 05/05 and beyond. At this time, it is recommended that the FY 2005-06 return-to-
source revenue be allocated to fund the resident deputy position through January 2006. The return-
to-source revenue is estimated to be between $58,000 and $60,000 for FY 2005-06.
In 1995, the Board of Supervisors authorized sharing a portion of the property tax increment resulting
from the Tosco Reformulated Gasoline Project with the Crockett and Rodeo communities for the
purpose of economic development. On December 4, 1995, the Finance Committee met with
Crockett and Rodeo Community leaders to discuss property tax revenues resulting from the
UNOCAL Reformulated Gasoline Project. Testimony focu "do the need more police services.
