ATTESTED: October 20, 2009 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C.40 To:Board of Supervisors From:Gayle B. Uilkema, District II Supervisor Date:October 20, 2009 Contra Costa County Subject:Return-to-Source Fund Administration BACKGROUND: On October 17, 1995, the Board of Supervisors approved a board order earmarking property tax revenues resulting from the Unocal Reformulated Gasoline Project as a Return-to-Source Fund for the communities of Rodeo, Crockett and Tormey for the purpose of funding projects that would positively impact the economic development in the target communities. On June 24, 2003, the Board of Supervisors approved a board order allocating $658,409 of property tax Return-to-Source funding for projects in the Rodeo, Crockett and Tormey communities, as recommended by the District II Supervisor and the Return-To-Source Steering Committee. On February 15, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved a board order replacing the source of funding for the Return-to-Source fund from the diminishing proceeds of the Reformulated Gas Project which was being phased out as a result of the MTBE discontinuance with a portion of the property tax increment revenue resulting from the construction of the ConocoPhillips Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Project. The funding was designated for economic development and policing needs in the impacted West County unincorporated communities of Rodeo, Crockett, Port Costa and Tormey. The Return-to-Source fund has accrued to approximately $312,000 since that date.
