FISCAL IMPACT:
General purpose funds generated from the transient occupancy tax (TOT) from the
Renaissance/Club Sport Hotel in the unincorporated Contra Costa Centre area, reserved
for the Contra Costa Future Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Future Fund (CCFF) was created in 2003 when the Board of
Supervisors earmarked the transient occupancy tax (TOT) from the Renaissance/Club
Sport Hotel in unincorporated Contra Costa Centre. The funds were dedicated to funding
early intervention and prevention programs that reduce the high cost of crisis/safety net
services in the Monument Community. The mission of the CCFuture Fund was to invest
in programs and services that are results-based, family oriented, collaborative, and
available at critical points in the lives of children and families, thereby improving family
functioning and reducing the high costs of dependency.
Over the next several years, CCFF funded three separate cohorts of nonprofit agencies
providing a variety of services to residents primarily living in the Monument Community
of Concord. The third cohort is currently funded through June 30, 2012 and is focused on
family economic success.
On October 25, 2011, the Board of Supervisors voted that all future TOT revenue
beginning with FY 2012/13, including revenues from the Renaissance Club Sport Hotel,
be deposited directly into General Purpose revenue and that any future allocations be
discussed during the annual budget process.
Excess funds in the approximate amount of $814,000 have accumulated over the three
funding cohorts. This accumulation occurred due to 1) additional TOT revenues earned
that weren’t anticipated, and 2) not all funds allocated to cohort programs were spent.
It is proposed to utilize $300,000 of the approximately $814,000 to fund the Monument
Community Grant Program, thus returning $514,000 to the general fund at year end FY
2011/12.
Proposed FY 2012/13 Monument Community Grant Program: This Request for
Proposal (RFP) is to solicit applications from nonprofit organizations that provide
services to families living in the Monument Community area of the city of Concord. The
project areas to be funded are child care and development, healthcare and wellness, and
job training. Examples of program areas for consideration might be those that provide job
training and culturally specific programs related to child care, medical care sectors, and
community health programs such as the prevention and eradication of bed bugs.
It is proposed that up to $300,000 in existing TOT funds be allocated to projects with a
maximum grant size of $95,000. In addition, $15,000 will be allocated to DCD to
administer the grants through June 30, 2013.
