SUBJECT:
EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT'S LIGHTING
AND LANDSCAPING FEE FOR THE BRENTWOOD AREA
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS•
1 . Accept the report on the East Bay Regional Park District' s
Lighting and Landscaping Fee for the Brentwood area.
2 . Authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to send a
letter to EBRPD encouraging adoption of a volunteer credit for
citizens who would rather volunteer time in lieu of paying an
assessment.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 1992, the Board of Supervisors requested the Finance
Committee to review the Lighting and Landscaping Fee for the
Brentwood area proposed by the East Bay Regional Park District.
Supervisor Torlakson had proposed that EBRPD incorporate several
components into the proposal including a low income senior citizen
exemption, a volunteer credit in lieu of the fee, and the
establishment of a citizen Committee. The District ' s response to
the Supervisor' s suggestions are attached.
The Finance Committee considered the issue on January 27 . The
District representative at the meeting indicated that the District
will support two of the three suggestions . He argued that, at this
time, a volunteer credit option may adversely impact the current
volunteer efforts underway and that it may adversely impact the
estimated revenue projected by the fee. He stated that the
District would like to delay action on the volunteer credit option
one year in order to evaluate the result of the fee.
