ATTESTED: March 3, 2009 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors 5 Contact: E.Devlin, 925-335-1557 By: Celicia Nelson, Deputy cc: K.Todd, B.Kilian, E. Devlin, Tim Ewell, District V BACKGROUND: History: 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 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. Proposal: The current projection of P-6 zone revenues for FY 2009/2010 in the Bay Point community are: $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. The Office of the Sheriff proposes 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 assumes a fully weighted Deputy Sheriff position. It is likely that the actual position assigned with not reach this maximum projection. C.49 To:Board of Supervisors From:Warren Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner Date:May 4, 2009 Contra Costa County Subject:ALLOCATION OF P-6 CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE BASE FUNDING FOR DISCOVERY BAY ZONES RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner to expend funds from County Service Area (CSA) P-6 Zone Central Administrative Base (CAB) Fund to provide extended police protection services in the Discovery Bay community. FISCAL IMPACT: The services are proposed to be effective June 1, 2009. The 2009/10 Adopted Budget anticipated a transfer from the CSA P-6 CAB Fund to support police services for the Discovery Bay zones. Therefore, the recommended action will have no additional impact on the County General Fund. BACKGROUND: History: This proposal was originally presented to the Board of Supervisors on November 18, 2008.

ATTESTED: May 19, 2009 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors 5 Contact: Eileen Devlin, 925-335-1557 By: Celicia Nelson, Deputy cc: Eileen Devlin, Beth Kilian, Karen Todd BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) The Board of Supervisors formed the P-6 County Service Area (CSA) in 1983 to provide tax revenue to fund extended police services within the designated P-6 area. Over the years, the Board of Supervisors formed new zones for each new major and minor subdivision within CSA P-6, and held elections that approved a special tax for police protection services in each new zone. The special tax proceeds are deposited in individual zone funds within the County Treasury. Each January, the Auditor transfers the annual zone special tax proceeds into a special revenue fund in the County Treasury, named the Police Protection Services Central Administrative Base (CAB) Fund (262900). The CAB Fund consolidates all revenue generated by the 110 current CSA P-6 Zones, for more efficient administration and optimization of program funding. Since its inception in 1983, CSA P-6 has generated just over $5.5 million. The current balance in the CAB fund is approximately $3.5 million. Currently, there are 110 zones, comprising 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. Proposal: As of June 20, 2008, the projected P-6 zone revenues for FY 2008/2009 in the Discovery Bay community is $548,086 (Zones 500-504). The Office of the Sheriff proposes to expend those funds in the Discovery Bay community as follows: 1. Two Resident Deputy Sheriffs-Discovery Bay $392,700 (Maximum cost per year $186,000, including OPEB liability) 2. Patrol Vehicle $ 50,915 (Initial purchase, equipment and first year operation expense) 3. Crime Prevention – Sheriff’s Specialist- Discovery Bay $ 85,859 Total Proposed Fiscal Years 2008/2009/2010 Expenditure: $529,474 The proposed Zone Fund expenditures are irrespective of any countywide service adjustments resulting from recent budget reductions.
