HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 05032011 - C.118RECOMMENDATION(S): REALLOCATE $5,000 in FY 2010/11 Keller Canyon Mitigation Funds to help finance the Pittsburg Twilight Criterium (Bicycle Race) and Family Fitness Festival, and AUTHORIZE the Director of Conservation and Development, or designee, to execute a contract with Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation in an amount not to exceed $5,000 for the period of May 4, 2011 through June 1, 2011, as recommended by Supervisor Glover. FISCAL IMPACT: No General Fund impact. Funds will be provided from the Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund (KCMF). The total amount to be expended from the KCMF in FY 2010/11 will not increase if this request is approved, because the proposed project will replace a project that has been cancelled. Consequently, if approved, this action will slightly decrease the total amount of KCMF funds anticipated to be spent during the year.

ATTESTED: May 3, 2011 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Carrie Del Bonta, Deputy cc: C.118 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation & Development Director Date:May 3, 2011 Contra Costa County Subject:Reallocate FY 2010/11 Keller Canyon Mitigation Funds to Help Finance the Pittsburg Twilight Criterium and Family Fitness Festival BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) in Keller Canyon Mitigation Funds (KCMF) including a total of $45,000 to help finance a Gang Summit, a Youth Summit, and a Small Business Workshop all sponsored by the District V Supervisor's office. The Small Business Workshop (which was estimated to cost $15,000) will not be provided this year, so it is recommended that $5,000 of the funds earmarked for that event be reallocated to help finance the Pittsburg Twilight Criterium and Family Fitness Festival that will take place on May 7, 2011 sponsored by the Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation. The Festival will bring together over 600 cyclists as they race around a 3/4 mile course around Old Town Pittsburg. In addition, the day long Festival will include a number of free fitness classes and demonstrations (yoga, spin, cardio health, pilates, etc), physical games and activities (preschool play patch, musical hula hoops, 3-point shoot-out basketball challenge, etc.), and a Health and Wellness Village where participants can get a variety of health related screenings (blood pressure, body fat, Body Mass Index, glucose, and cholesterol). KCMF funds will be used to help finance the family fitness component of the event. The Festival is expected to attract thousands of District V residents. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Not providing KCMF funding will result in a reduction of the fitness and health screening activities that will be provided at the event. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Festival supports the "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood" outcome in the Children's Report Card.
