HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12082015 - C.93RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE $12,600 in additional allocations of Keller Canyon Mitigation funds to the following projects, as
recommended by the Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund Review Committee:
1) $8,600 for the Bay Point Crossing Guard Program to pay for costs associated with two additional crossing
guards near Bel Air Elementary School;
2) $1,200 for the Bay Point Annual Holiday Dinner and Toy Give Away to pay for costs associated with
providing holiday photos to community members; and
3) $2,800 for the District V Technology Upgrades to pay for costs associated with a printer and supplies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Recommended funding will come from unallocated FY 2015/16 Keller Canyon Mitigation Funds and, therefore, have
no impact on the County's General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On August 18, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2015/16 Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund (KCMF)
Allocation Plan (Plan). Eighty-eight projects/programs/initiatives were granted funding totaling $1,394,702. A
balance of $73,884 in KCMF funds remain unallocated by the Board and kept in reserve to address any requests for
additional funding or to address emerging issues. On November 13, 2015, the KCMF Review Committee
(Committee) convened to consider allocating additional funding for the three programs described below.

Subject:Additional Allocations of FY 2015/16 Keller Canyon Mitigation Funds
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Committee recommended allocating a total of $12,600 out of the unallocated funds.
1) The Bay Point Crossing Guard Program (#82) is funded under the District V Initiatives portion of the Keller
Canyon Mitigation Fund. The program provides state-approved crossing guards for ten intersections in the
community of Bay Point. Recently, members of the Bay Point community expressed concerns regarding increased
traffic at Bailey Road resulting in decreased safety for Bel Air Elementary School students crossing the street. The
hiring of two new crossing guards to cover these intersections at Bailey Road will require a budget increase of
$8,600.
2) The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office Bay Point Annual Holiday Dinner and Toy Give Away (#76) is funded
under the County Department portion of the Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund. The event promotes positive
community relations between the Bay Point residents and the Office of the Sheriff. Dinner and toys are provided free
of charge. Program staff requested an additional allocation of $1,200 to cover the cost of providing the attendees with
holiday photos.
3) District V Technology Upgrades (#86) is funded under the District V Initiatives portion of the Keller Canyon
Mitigation Fund. The existing allocation covered the purchase of computer and presentation equipment used for the
multiple programs and events conducted in East County by District V staff. The additional allocation of $2,800 will
cover the purchase of a printer and related supplies for the District V office.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving the recommended allocation would result in less crossing guards near Bay Point schools, no holiday
photos at the Annual Bay Point Holiday Dinner and Toy Give Away, and no additional printer in the District V office.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The allocation of KCMF funding for Bay Point Crossing Guards and the Bay Point Annual Holiday Dinner and Toy
Give Away supports the following outcome in the Children's Report Card: Families are safe, stable, and nurturing.
