BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in the target communities.
On February 15, 2005, the Board approved replacing the source of funding from 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. This funding was designated for economic
development and policing needs in the impacted West County unincorporated
communities of Rodeo, Tormey, Crockett, and Port Costa.
On October 6, 2009, the Board approved the issuance of a request for proposals (RFP)
for the Return-to-Source funds that have accumulated over the last several years and
designated the Department of Conservation and Development – Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program staff as the administrator of the allocation
process, with assistance provided by District II staff.
On December 15, 2009, the Return-to-Source RFP was sent to Community Based
Organizations and Public organizations located in and serving residents of the target areas
(Rodeo, Crockett, Port Costa and Tormey). Applications were accepted for
programs/projects that promote economic development including addressing youth career
development issues, or to improve public facilities in the target areas. The maximum
grant is $35,000 per year.
A total of fifteen applications were received by the January 29, 2010 deadline. CDBG
staff and District II staff interviewed all of the applicants on February 16. It is
recommended that a total of $321,064 in Return-to-Source funds be allocated as
described in Attachment A.
