HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07092013 - C.87RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the work plan and timeline for developing the Measure WW expenditure plan for the unincorporated
areas of the County, and AUTHORIZE an allocation not to exceed $60,000 in Park Impact Fees collected within the
unincorporated areas of the County to help pay staff costs associated with developing the proposed expenditure plan
and submitting it to the East Bay Regional Park District by March 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Park Impact Fees collected in the unincorporated County will be used to pay for costs associated with developing a
list of projects to be submitted to the East Bay Regional Park District for approval.
BACKGROUND:
In 2008, voters approved the East Bay Regional Park District’s (EBRPD) Measure WW Park Bond Extension that
provides funding for high priority community park projects. A total of $7.93 million is allocated to areas within the
unincorporated area of the County. These funds were allocated to Recreation and Park Districts and Community
Service Districts ($2.39 million), specific County Services Areas ($2.49 million), and to unincorporated areas not in a
CSA or CSD district ($3.05 million). All Measure WW funds must be fully expended by December 2018.
Pursuant to the Measure WW, the projects must meet the following standards:

County
Subject:Proposed Work Plan for Allocating Measure WW Funds in the Unincorporated County Areas
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Insure equitable geographic distribution of the funds.
Use of the property/facilities must be for at least 25 years.
Provide lands and facilities for recreational activities and services and historic preservation. Capital projects
may include acquisition of park land and development of recreational facilities, including renovation of existing
facilities.
Public art projects are eligible as long as they are in or adjacent to a parks and recreation facility.
The Task/Timeline chart (Attachment A) outlines the proposed work plan for developing a list of projects to be
submitted to East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) for approval for areas in the unincorporated County not
in a CSA or CSD. Depending on the specific task, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD)
and/or Public Works (PW) will take lead responsibility for ensuring the task is completed within the specified
time frame.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board approval, the process for developing the list of projects to be submitted to East Bay Regional Park
District by the March 2014 deadline would be delayed by at least a year, therefore possibly jeopardizing the
County's ability to spend the funds by the December 2018 deadline.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The park and recreation projects ultimately identified through this process will support the following outcomes in
the Children's Report Card: 1) Children and youth are healthy and preparing for productive adulthood; and 2)
Communities are safe and provide a high quality of life for children and families
