FISCAL IMPACT: No impact to the General Fund. Cost of the proposed Amendment would be covered by North Richmond Mitigation Fee Funding jointly administered by the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County.

ATTESTED: June 26, 2012 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Carrie Del Bonta, Deputy cc: C. 81 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation and Development Director Date:June 26, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:Amend Interagency Agreement between the City of Richmond & Contra Costa County for the Joint Administration of North Richmond Mitigation Fee Funding BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Impact Report approved by the City and County as a means of addressing impacts associated with illegal dumping which is to be used for the benefit of the North Richmond community. The requirement to collect this Mitigation Fee is included as Conditions of Approval in the Use Permits issued by the City and County, which allowed Republic Services to expand their waste processing operations at the Bulk Material Processing Center located at the closed West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill site in North Richmond. Republic Services began collecting and paying to the County the established per ton Mitigation Fee in 2006. The City and County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2004 agreeing to establish a City/County Committee (known as the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee) to prepare recommended spending plans subject to final City/County approvals, as the means of jointly administering this funding. These recommended spending plans are known as "Expenditure Plans" which must be approved by both the City Council and Board of Supervisors. The most recently approved Expenditure Plan only allocated funding for an initial six month period ending June 30, 2012. On June 1, 2012, the Committee recommended approval of an Amended 2012/2013 Expenditure Plan which is expected to be considered by the Richmond City Council and County Board of Supervisors at their meetings on June 26, 2012. The Interagency Agreement between the City and County initially went into effect on January 16, 2007 and has since been amended three times. This fourth Amendment is proposed to increase the contract limit by $596,463.54 and extend the term for 15 months. This amount is adequate to allow the City to receive payment to cover costs which are intended to be funded with allocations previously approved by the City/County for the period through June 30, 2012. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The County would not be able to reimburse the City for their share of costs to be incurred for ongoing assistance with jointly administering this North Richmond Mitigation Fee funding. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
