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.
