EXPENDITURE PLAN
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Processing Center (BMPC) project that was approved in 2004. In July 2004, the City of
Richmond and Contra Costa County entered into an MOU agreeing to jointly administer
Mitigation Fee monies collected from the BMPC for the benefit of the incorporated and
unincorporated North Richmond area. The MOU also defines the composition of the
committee responsible for developing recommendations for expenditures of the
Mitigation Fee. The North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint
Expenditure Planning Committee (Mitigation Fee Committee) was formed in December
2005 pursuant to the terms of the MOU for the specific purpose of preparing
recommended two-year Expenditure Plans. These Expenditure Plans provide a means to
jointly administer the Mitigation Fee funding for the benefit of the host community, as
described in the EIR.
Funding allocated in the 2008/2009 Expenditure Plan totals $2,308,132 which would
fund most of the strategies included in the 2006/2007 Expenditure Plan as well as some
new strategies. The 2008/2009 Expenditure Plan also includes funding allocation for City
and County costs associated with staffing of this Committee and the development,
implementation and oversight of the 2008/2009 Expenditure Plan. The Expenditure Plan
has been designed to maximize efficiency in the administration of the Plan and authorize
staff to make adjustments to funding allocations for individual strategies as needed due to
level of utilization or budget shortfalls/overages.
The County Board of Supervisors and the Richmond City Council previously approved
the following three versions of the 2008/2009 Expenditure Plan: Preliminary Expenditure
Plan - December 2007, Amended Expenditure Plan - April 2008 and Second Amended
Expenditure Plan - December 2008.
City and County staff to the Committee prepared the 2008/2009 Third Amended
Expenditure Plan to reflect the language changes that the Committee voted to recommend
at their meetings on May 6, 2009 and July 8, 2009. The changes being recommended are
summarized below:
Strategy 4 - Revise first bullet to remove the name of the existing non-profit entity
providing oversight of the Community Services Coordinator position and replace with
reference to "non-profit or public agency"
Strategy 6 - Change title
The Committee will likely meet on July 29, 2009 or July 30, 2009 to further discuss and
consider entities (non-profit or public agency) that would potentially oversee the
Community Services Coordinator position.

North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee
Expenditure Plan
INTRODUCTION
The Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee was established as a result of the Draft
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) dated November 2003 for the WCCSL Bulk
Materials Processing Center (BMPC) and Related Actions (Project). The Project
involved new and expanded processing and resource recovery operations on both the
incorporated and unincorporated area of the Project site, which the EIR concluded
would impact the host community. To mitigate this impact Mitigation Measure 4-5 called
for a Mitigation Fee to benefit the host community, described as follows:
“Mitigation Fee. The facility operator shall pay a Mitigation Fee of an amount to
be determined by the applicable permitting authority(ies) to defray annual costs
associated with collection and disposal of illegally dumped waste and associated
impacts in North Richmond and adjacent areas. The mitigation fee should be
subject to the joint-control of the City and County and should be collected on all
solid waste and processible materials received at the facility consistent with the
existing mitigation fee collected at the Central IRRF.”
In July 2004, the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to jointly administer Mitigation Fee
monies collected from the BMPC for the benefit of the incorporated and unincorporated
North Richmond area.
This North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning
Committee (Committee) was formed pursuant to the terms of the MOU for the specific
purpose of preparing a recommended two year Expenditure Plan. This Expenditure
Plan provides a means to jointly administer the Mitigation Fee funding for the benefit of
the host community, as described in the EIR. The Expenditure Plan is subject to final
approval of the Richmond City Council and the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors.
BUDGET
The attached Budget Table is incorporated herein by reference. The Budget was
developed based on revenue estimates with multiple variables (e.g. number of tons of
recovered materials vs. solid waste, per ton gate rate charged and amount of CPI-
adjusted per ton Mitigation Fee). Revenue projections may deviate from those provided
by Republic and used to prepare the attached Budget Table.
Exhibit A
2008/2009 North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Expenditure Plan
Revised: July 8, 2009 Page 2 of 11
Printed: 7/9/2009
It is likely that some adjustments will be necessary to accommodate variations between
estimated and actual revenue as well as disparity between estimated and actual costs
for non-fixed cost strategies. Adjustments may be needed due to under-utilization of a
particular program if estimated expenditure was based on per unit cost. If the number of
units allocated to a particular line item is not exhausted, the remaining funding would
need to be redistributed within that expenditure category.
This Expenditure Plan has been designed to maximize efficiency in the administration of
the Plan. The Budget includes some line items that are based on fixed costs, however
to provide flexibility other line items can be adjusted if needed. Strategies fall under one
of these three expenditure categories: Prevention & Education, Abatement &
Enforcement and Community Investment.
This Expenditure Plan authorizes Staff to make adjustments for certain line items if
needed to account for budget shortfalls or overages. This flexibility will allow the City
and County to avoid the delays and costs associated with amending the Expenditure
Plan. Additional amendments would only be proposed by Staff if absolutely necessary
which will require Staff to convene this Committee as well as seek the approval of the
City Council and Board of Supervisors.
DESCRIPTION OF STRATEGIES RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING
Funding allocations for each strategy can be found in the attached Budget Table. The
funding allocation amounts are for the two-year Expenditure Plan period.
