approval identified funding allocations for Mitigation Fee revenue collected in.2006 and 2007:
Funding allocated in the 200812009 Expenditure Plan totals$2,308,132 which would fund most

associated with staffing of this Committee and the development, implementation and oversight
of the 2008/2009 Expenditure Plan. The Expenditure Plan has been designed to maximize
efficiency in the administration of the Plan and authorize staff to make adjustments to funding
allocations for individual strategies as needed .due to level of utilization or budget
shortfalls/overages.
The County Board of Supervisors and the .Richmond City Council previously approved two
versions of this Expenditure Plan as noted below:
• 2008/2009 Preliminary Expenditure Plan at their meetings on December 4, 2007
• . 2008/2009 Amended Expenditure Plan at their meetings on April 1, 2008.
City and,.County staff to the Committee prepared and presented the Second Amended
2008/2009 Expenditure Plan for consideration by the Committee at their meeting on October 27,
2008.,Among the changes proposed were suggested funding increases to certain strategies in
response.to community,feedback. To offset funding increases while still balancing the budget,
.staff recommended a reduction in funding for strategies that were being underutilized. Lastly,
there were minor text changes made to some strategies for the purpose of improving accuracy
or providing clarification.

Exhibit A
2008/200.9 Second Amended
North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee
Expenditure Plan
INTRODUCTION
The Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee was established as a.result of the Draft
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) dated November 2003 for the WCCSL Bulk
Materials Processing Center(BMPC) and Related Actions (Project). The Project
involved new and expanded processing and resource recovery operations on.both the,
incorporated and unincorporated area of the Project:site, which the EIR concluded
would impact the host community. To mitigate this impact Mitigation Measure 4-5 called
for a'Mitigation Fee to benefit the host community, described as follows: . .
"Mitigation Fee. The facility operator.shall pay a Mitigation Fee of an amount to
-.be.de'termined by the applicable permitting authority(ies) to defray annual costs
associated with collection and disposal-of illegally dumped-waste and associated
impacts�in North Richmond and adjacent areas. The mitigation fee should be
subject to the joint-control of the City and County and should be collected on all
solid waste,and processible materials received_ at the facility consistent with the
existing mitigation fee collected at the Central IRRF."
In July 2004, the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County entered into a
Memorandurn of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to jointly administer Mitigation Fee
monies collected from the BMPC for the benefit of the incorporated and unincorporated
North Richmond area.
This North Richmond Waste & Recovery'Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning
Committee (Committee) was formed pursuant to the terms of the MOU for the specific
purpose of preparing a recommended two year Expenditure Plan. This Expenditure
Plan provides a means:to jointly administer the Mitigation Fee funding for the benefit of
the host community, as described in-the EIR..The Expenditure Plan is subject to final
approval of the Richmond City Council and the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors.
BUDGET
The attached Budget Table is'incorporated herein by reference. The Budget was
. developed based on revenue estimates with multiple variables (e.g, number of.tons of
recovered materials vs. solid waste, per ton gate rate-charged and amount of CPI
adjusted per ton Mitigation Fee). Revenue projections may deviate from those provided .
by Republic and.used to prepare the attached Budget Table.
Revised:October 28,2008
2008/2009 North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Expenditure Plan
It is likely that some adjustments will be necessary to accommodate variations between
estimated and actual revenue as well as disparity between estimated and actual costs
for non-fixed cost.strategies. Adjustments may be needed due to under-utilization of a
particular program if estimated expenditure was based on per unit cost. If the number of .
units allocated to a particular line item is not exhausted, the remaining funding would
need to be redistributed within that expenditure category.
This Expenditure Plan has been designed to maximize efficiency in the administration of
the Plan. The Budget includes some line items that are based on fixed costs, however
to.provide flexibility other.line items can be adjusted if needed: Strategies fall under one
of these three.expenditure categories: Prevention & Education, Abatement &
Enforcement and Community Investment.
This Expenditure Plan authorizes Staff to make adjustments for certain line items if
needed to account for budget shortfalls or.overages. This flexibility will allow the City
and County to avoid the delays.and costs associated with amending the Expenditure
Plan. Additional amendments would only.be proposed by Staff if absolutely necessary
which will require Staff to convene this Committee as well as seek the approval of the
City Council and Board of Supervisors.
"DESCRIPTION OF STRATEGIES RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING
Funding allocations for each strategy can be found in the attached Budget Table. The
funding allocation amounts are for the two-year Expenditure Plan period.
