REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/RACKCROUND (( nnt'r11
Delta Environment Science Center: This is proposed as a world class, educational, interpretive, science
center which will focus on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta biological region of the State. Programs will
promote learning and appreciation for the environment, wetlands, and water quality. The Science Center
is supported by a number of agencies, through a memorandum of understanding (MOU). The fund request
is to enable continuance of detailed studies and continuing efforts to provide background and support for
fund raising activities and other requirements and planning for the Center itself. Program funding is
handled through EBRPD's Alameda-Contra Costa Regional Parks Foundation, c/o Delta Science Center,
attention Rosemary Cameron, 2950 Peralta Oaks Court, Oakland, CA 94605.
The Coordinated Regional Biodiversity Conservation plan for Alameda and Contra Costa Counties:
Supported by six agencies through a MOU within the two county-area, a two year study is proposed which
will provide needed scientific basis for more educated land use decisions. An information base will enable
the counties to plan without the current reliance on the very focused, specific, expensive, fragmented, (late
in the process) endangered species approach, in that endangered species will be addressed as part of this
plan, by providing adequate information for the larger array of species, allowing the counties to avoid
future listings of this type. Pilot projects have been initialed in east countya nd the Caldecott corridor area.
The account will be administered through the County Community Development Department.

The task before the Finance Committee on December 18 was to review each plan and adopt an
overall priority structure for this and next fiscal year. Attachment B presents a list of programs and
revenue estimates for Committee reference.
The Committee heard testimony from staff and applicants and made the following modifications to
the planning committee's recommendations:
1) transfer$64,000 from the Transportation Category to the Community Mitigation category;
2) delete $15,000 from the Wetlands mitigation program in the Open Space Category in 1995-
96 and 1996-97 and request the Internal Operations Committee consider a$10,000 program
from the advocates for Bird Conservation; and
3) transfer any funds available in the Open Space category, after considering the Advocates for
Bird Conservation,to the Community Mitigation category.
Additionally,staff has identified some unspent monies from fiscal year 1994-95 and prior years. For
example, a total of $52,600 in unspent monies currently resides with contracts in the Host
Community mitigation category. The Committee recommended that staff develop an expenditure
plan for such contracts by February. The Committee determined that all unspent monies should be
allocated to the Community Mitigation category.

SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RRECOMMEH ATIO,NNS
1. The Contra Costa County-East Bay Regional Park District
Liaison Committee supported the concept of a two year funding
cycle to provide .some assurances for program continuity.
2. The Committee's four main priorities were to continue funding,
at current levels, to four critical programs. Trail
Maintenance at $90, 000/year; Environmental Science Center at
$65,000/year; Biodiversity at $20,000/year and Wetland
Mitigation at $15, 000/year.
3. The Soils Bank should be renamed Agricultural Trust and
Mitigation Bank and should be financed, should the Board move
to establish the Agricultural Trust.
4. The Committee questioned if the Ambrose Recreation & Park
District money was a short term grant or if the need to
continue funding from this source was warranted.
5. The Committee didn't have Keller Mitigation Fund monetary
projections, when it last met and consequently have no basis
to determine priorities for the Rodent Thistle Program, Route
Planting or the Audubon (ABC) program. . Since the Committee
won't meet until January, the IO Committee will need to
resolve these funding levels.

FISCAL IMPACT
To be determined by the 10 and Finance Committees.
BACKGROUND 101=FICATION
The Contra Costa County-East Bay Regional Park District Liaison
Committee met on September 28,1995. They discussed the Open Space
Keller Mitigation monies. At that time projections from the County
Administrators Office ' projections of Keller Mitigation fund
revenues were not available to the Committee. So they provided
what guidance they could on the program merits.
They supported a two year budget cycle. They felt the priority
items to be supported were:
Trail Maintenance $90,000
Environmental' Science Center $65,000
Biodiversity $20,000
Wetland Mitigation $15,000
These were for each of a two year cycle.
The funding of the Agricultural Trust would need to be based on
Board of Supervisors action moving ahead with either an
Agricultural Trust or Mitigation Bank.
Without knowing the funding level which remained, the Committee
took no action on the Rodent Thistle, Route Planting, Ambrose or
Audubon (ABC) Programs. However, there was a questioning on if the
Ambrose funding should continue into future years or if it was to
be a one-time allocation. That would depend on the amount of
revenue and information on how the budgeted funds had been used.

Transportation Projects for Keller Canyon Landfill and Acme Transfer Station
. Revenues

FISCAL IMPACT
None to the General Fund. Based on the tonnage of waste received from the
landfill and Acme Transfer Station, the Keller Canyon Landfill Company is
required to pay mitigation fees to the County for general impacts of landfill
generated traffic. There is approximately $275, 500 projected to be divided for
FY 95/96 and FY 96/97, though it is understood that greater flexibility may be
needed for mitigation appropriations .
BACKGROUND/REASONS , FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Keller Canyon Landfill Land Use Permit established a Transportation System
Impact Fee, as a condition of a approval designed to mitigate the general
impacts of the landfill on the County' s road system.
To mitigate the landfill' s transportation impacts, the Board of Supervisors, on
August 11, 1992, adopted policies and procedures that annually charge the
Transportation Committee to consider and recommend to the Board appropriate
allocation of the transportation mitigation fees to:
9 implement litter control and patrol programs;
0 repair road damage;
enforce route restrictions;
0 enhance public safety and protection; and
address congestion relief measures related to transportation of waste
to the landfill .
The policies, in addition, stipulated that any recommended transportation
project or program, funded with mitigation revenues, requires public input for
the allocation of monies in the Transportation Trust Fund.
For the last two fiscal years, the Board of Supervisors approved the allocation
of transportation mitigation revenues for several projects . Exhibit " A 11 is
listing of th-,se projects, coupled with a brief project implementation status
report .
The Transportation Committee, December 4 , 1995, approved the motion to recommend
that the Board of Supervisors, during the December 12, 1995 Board of Supervisors
meeting, obtain public comments from interested parties for consideration in the
selection of the FY 1995/96 and FY 1996/97 Transportation Projects and Programs
from the attached Exhibit 11 B. "
