Canyon Mitigation Fund (KCMF) process was established in August of 1992, and the first

Subject:Finance Committee Recommended Actions in Response to the Auditor-Controller Report Concerning the
Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the land use permit and the franchise agreement to combine these three mitigation fees,
as well as to provide additional flexibility in the use of these funds, specifying that the fee
shall be used by the Board in its sole discretion.
On November 5, 2010, the County’s Auditor-Controller issued a report in response to
several citizen allegations concerning the administration of the Keller Canyon Mitigation
Fund (KCMF). The report (Attachment A) contained five recommendations on ways to
improve the administration of the Fund. On February 7, 2011 the Auditor-Controller
presented their report to the Finance Committee. On April 4, 2011 and May 2, 2011, the
Committee considered recommended actions developed by the Department of
Conservation and Development (Attachments B and C).
At their meeting on May 2, 2011, the Finance Committee approved all of the the
Recommended Actions as presented, and directed staff to prepare a KCMF Policies
document (Exhibit 1) for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving the proposed Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund Policies would conflict with
the recommendations on ways to improve the administration of the Keller Canyon
Mitigation Fund.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Individual projects/programs to be approved at a later date by the KCMF Committee
could have a positive impact on children's services in the target areas.
