DATE: October 14, 2008
SUBJECT: Allocation of CCFuture Funds To Monument Crisis Center
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director, Department of Conservation and Development or designee,
to execute a contract with Monument Crisis Center in an amount not to exceed $7,000 to provide food,
assistance and referrals to residents in crisis situations for the period of October 15, 2008 through
December 31, 2009, as recommended by Supervisor Bonilla. (100% Transient Occupancy Tax- CC
Futures Fund) (District IV)
FISCAL IMPACT
No General Fund impact—CCFuture Funds are generated from the transient Occupancy tax from the
Renaissance/Club Sport Hotel in the unincorporated Contra Costa Centre area.
BACKGROUND /REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
As a result of the recent economic downturn,the Monument Crisis Center(MCC's) has experienced an
unprecedented demand for its services including providing food to needy families through its Food
Distribution program. Though this program, monthly food assistance is provided to reduce the chances
that a family will face hunger and malnutrition because they must first meet obligations for rent, medical
care or other expenses. An increase in the number of families being served has resulted in the food
pantry not being able to be sufficiently stocked and has strained MCC's organizational capacity.
Providing financial assistance through the CCFuture Fund will help MCC continue to provide much
needed services in the community.
