Recommendation(s):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5063 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $76,043 from
the CSA P-6 Central Administrative Base (CAB) and appropriate it to fund one Resident Deputy Sheriff and equipment in
the Bay Point community immediately upon approval through June 30, 2009.
Fiscal Impact:
This action increases appropriations in the Office of the Sheriff (0255) operational budget and reduces appropriations in
CSA P-6 Central Administrative Base (7629) by $76,043.
Background:
In 1983, the Board of Supervisors formed CSA P-6 as a means to provide funding for zones to be established therein to
maintain and extend police protection services to the unincorporated area of the County, except the Kensington
Community Services District. As originally applied to new developments in East County in 1989, four zones were formed
for each of four new major subdivisions in Oakley and Bay Point. An election was held in each of the zones to approve a
special tax ordinance adopted by the Board of Supervisors for each of the zones. When the special tax for police services
was approved by voters of each zone by mail ballot, each zone was assigned its own fund number, and revenue collected
from tax levies were placed in individual zone accounts maintained by the County Auditor.
In 1992, the Board of Supervisors began to form new zones in CSA P-6 for each new major and minor subdivision in the
unincorporated area of the County. Each special tax election, which approved a special tax for police protection services in
each new zone, resulted in the creation of a new fund for each zone. In 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved a
modification to the ordinance imposing a one-time fee of $1000 on minor subdivisions, instead of forming a new P-6 Zone
and requiring a special tax election. In 1998, with 52 zones in CSA P-6 and 52 corresponding zone funds, it became very
cumbersome and time consuming to account for and withdraw monies from each of the zone funds to provide police
protection services throughout the zones on CSA P-6. In May, 1998 the Board of Supervisors approved the creation of the
Centralized Administrative Base Fund, to which revenues collected by levies in CSA P-6 special tax zones are transferred
annually. Allocation of P-6 zone funds has historically been prescribed by a County Counsel interpretation of the original
ordinance that established the zones in 1983. That interpretation held that funds generated in the respective zones could
1 of 2
only be used to benefit the zone of origin. It was determined that a program of County wide application that had the effect
of enhancing law enforcement in all of the zones met the intent of the original ordinance. Thus the air unit is in part
financed through allocation of P-6 funds. Currently, there are 110 zones, composed of a total of 5322 parcels in CSA P-6.
These zones currently generate approximately $1.14 million per year, due substantially to the burgeoning new development
in East County. It is also important to note that until this fiscal year, the annual revenue for the entire CAB Fund has not
exceeded $560,000 for all 110 zones.
The current projection of P-6 zone revenues for FY 2009/2010 in the Bay Point community is $147,181.00 (Zones
0200-0210). The balance of the funding required for this program will come from accumulated Bay Point P-6 zone funds.
In a separate action, the Office of the Sheriff proposed to expend those funds in the Bay Point community as follows:
Fiscal Year 2008/09: $ 76,043 (5 months)
Fiscal Year 2009/10: $186,185 (12 months)
Total: $262,228
Note: This proposal assumed a fully weighted Deputy Sheriff position. It is likely that the actual position assigned with not
reach this maximum projection.
