1c`ast County Workforce Survey 8.0.—August 1, 2006. Page 2
Per the requirements of GASB-34 (Government Accounting Standards Board regulations), a
designation was created at the start ofIFY 01-02 for the balance of funds that had accumulated. The
designation had an initial balance of $981,117. Since that time, the Board has authorized
expenditure of funds for the following projects:
1. Shaping Our Future $81,230 (FY 0111-02)
2. Open Space Measure $450,000 (FY 02-03)
3. Kensington Residential Development Review Combining District $15,000 (FY 03-04)
4. Tri Valley Business Council for Regional Marketing $25,000 (FY 03-04)
5. Buchanan RFP $50,000 (FY 03-04 12/9/03), to be reimbursed by responders
6. School Resource Officer at Monte Vista High in Danville (FYs 05-07), approx. $130k/yr.
7. Mandatory Subscription Enforcement $100,000 (FY 04-05), to be reimbursed
8. Street Smarts Program $35,000 (FY 04-05, 05-06, 06-07)
Use of these funds for the East County Workforce Survey will enable the Discovery Bay community to
be included in a study of the East County employment base. Employment locations, commute
patterns, and the likelihood of job shifts will be analyzed upon completion of the survey. Participating
jurisdictions include the cities of Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley, and Pittsburg along with the
unincorporated communities of Bay Point and Discovery Bay. On behalf of the East County
jurisdictions, the Contra Costa Council is contracting with JD Franz out of the Sacramento area to
perform the study.
The total cost of the study for the 6 communities is $72,000. The survey work has been completed.
The analysis is in the process of being completed, and the survey results will likely be released in
August. The goal is to have an official "release" as part of an East County Economic Summit in late
September, however, all jurisdictions would start a process of releasing to their elected officials much
earlier than that, and will work with the press to do (hopefully) a series of stories based on the survey
results in the week or two leading up to the Summit. County Redevelopment staff is also planning on
taking this to the Transportation, Water & Infrastructure Committee in September.
