FISCAL IMPACT: No General Funds. 100% Park Dedication Trust Account. BACKGROUND: The Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District (BIMID) is requesting $1,683.70 to help finance the installation of an archway at the entrance to Bethel Island Community Park located at 6190 Bethel Island Way. While providing an interesting architectural feature to the park, the archway will be constructed in a manner that allows the installation of "Celebration Tiles." These tiles will be sold to the public and all proceeds will be used by BIMID to finance maintenance costs associated with the park, and future improvements to the park.

ATTESTED: April 9, 2013 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C.106 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation & Development Date:April 9, 2013 Contra Costa County Subject:REQUEST FROM BETHEL ISLAND MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR PARK DEDICATION FUNDS TO FINANCE IMPROVEMENTS TO BETHEL ISLAND COMMUNITY PARK BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) In 2003, park dedication funds were used to help BIMID purchase the land for the park, and in 2005 park dedication funds were used to finance the drilling of a well on the site to ensure the park has access to a reliable water source. It is the policy of the County to use County park dedication funds to meet local and regional park needs. The proposed improvement is consistent with that policy, and staff recommends approval of BIMID's request. If approved, the balance in the Bethel Island park dedication account will be $0. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Without the allocation of Park Dedication Funds, the District would need to find other financing to help pay for the proposed improvement to the park. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The project supports the following community outcome established in the Children's Report Card: Communities that are safe and provide a high quality of life for children and families.
