BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S): On July 28, 1998 the Board of Supervisors adopted a Board Order which authorized the District V Supervisor to appoint an interim Review Committee, comprised of County Staff members, to make recommendations on allocations from the Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund. Supervisor Cancimilla appointed two members of his staff, as well as a representative from the County Administrator's Office to this Interim Review Committee. The Interim Review Committee was directed to review fiscal estimates of anticipated revenue for the current fiscal year, and to provide recommendations on funding allocations. The Interim Review Committee met formally in November, and funding allocations recommended at that time are shown below, as well as a brief synopsis of each program. 1. Environmental Health Department - Terry Stum hh IPA Agreement $52,000 This is the only new program recommended for Keller funding this fiscal year. The Keller grant will provide a portion of funding for an Interagency Personnel Agreement between Contra Costa County and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Under this interagency agreement, Contra Costa County will fund 51% of salary and benefits for the services of Mr. Terry Stumph, for a total amount not to exceed $67,000. If this funding allocation is approved, the Health Services Department will pick up the balance of the County's 51% share, for an amount CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: _ - YES SIGNATURE: RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR VRECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE —APPROVE —OTHER SIGNATURE(S): ACTION OF BOARD ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED VOTE OF SUPERVISORS 1 HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A UNANIMOUS(ABSENT, e ) TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF AN WAS—: NOES: ACTION TAKEN AND ENTERED ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ON MINUTES OF THE BOARD OFSU Contact: Tony Enea,5-1094 ON THE DATE SHWN. CC:CAO ATTESTED " Auditor-Controller PHIL BATCH ,-CLERKO Sheriff THE BOARD O SUPERVISORS Health Department 1:= EPUTY zv/ vZ not to exceed $15,000. Under this agreement, Mr. Stumph will provide specialized environmental engineering services to the Environmental Health Division and, in particular, to District V. These services will include a complete review and evaluation of sewage disposal problems found in unsewered portions of unincorporated East Contra Costa County, an evaluation of the effectiveness on reliability of onsite sewage disposal techniques currently employed in the unsewered portions of unincorporated East County, as well as the evaluation of sewage disposal problems resulting from vessels docked in marines and moored along the waterways of the Delta. Mr. Stumph will assist the District V Supervisor's office in its efforts to develop legal and technical solutions to these problems. In addition, the impact of flooding upon onsite wastewater disposal systems, evaluations of small water supply systems, and land use evaluation will be made. Although these evaluations will focus primarily on East County, it is intended that the results of these evaluations will be made available countrywide and any solutions/alternatives resulting from these evaluations will be of benefit countrywide. As indicated above, this is a request for new funding in the amount of$52,000. 2. General Services - East County Beautification .$145,000 This is a continuation of a program that has been provided in East County for several years. In conjunction with workfare crews, the General Services Department provides assistance in community clean-ups, roadside clean-up throughout the unincorporated area of East County, and tree planting programs. This program provides for the removal of abandoned garbage, appliances, and in some cases, vehicles form the roadsides of unincorporated East County. The amount of funding requested for this fiscal year is approximately $18,000 less than last year's allocation. This reduction in funding is based on actual costs for the last year. 3. East County Municipal Advis,ory-Councils $25,000 There are currently four Municipal Advisory Councils (Bay Point, Bethel Island, Byron, and Knightsen) in East Contra Costa County. In addition, the Discovery Bay Community Services District fulfills the responsibilities of a MAC for the Discovery Bay Community. Each of the members of the various MACS serves on a voluntary basis. These funds provide funding for expenses resulting from the East County quarterly All-MAC meetings. This also provides funding for secretarial services to each of the MACS, if necessary, as well as assistance in conducting community activities and services such as copying charges, map preparation and other miscellaneous costs. The funding request for this fiscal year is the same value as that requested last year 4. Bay Point Resident Deputy Program $201,055 This funding will provide for the resident deputies dedicated to the Bay Point area. The funding pays only for the salary and benefits attributed to the deputies and does not include any operational costs such as vehicle costs, uniform, etc. Last year funding from the Keller Mitigation Program provided funding for the annual salary and benefits for one deputy and six months salary and benefits for a second resident deputy. This allocation will provide for the salary and benefits for both deputies for the full year timeframe. This funding allocation represents an increase of funding over last year's allocation to provide for the additional six-month salary and benefits for the second deputy. 5. Ombudsman Program $100,000 This program was funded in the amount of $100,000 last fiscal year. However, due to increased abatement costs under the Code Enforcement Program, and the fact that the Ombudsman Program was delayed, it was determined that the allocation for this program was reduced to $40,000 and $60,000 was reallocated to Code Enforcement. The Ombudsman will continue work previously started under Phase 1 of the District V Pilot Program. The Ombudsman will continue to refine the proposed Vessel Ordinance and the feasibility of a Rental Inspection Program as well as a Mobile Home Inspection Program for Contra Costa County. The Ombudsman will also continue to review other existing County Ordinances and procedures to gauge their effectiveness and to achieve their practical application. The Ombudsman will report to the County Administrator's Office and will work closely with other County Departments who are also involved in the enforcement of the County's codes. 6. District V Code Enforcement Program $250,000 Funding for this program provides dedicated personnel to a code enforcement program focusing on the unincorporated area of East Contra Costa County. Last year, funds were allocated which provided for a dedicated code enforcement inspector and abatement funds. This year's request will provide for two dedicated inspectors in East County, as well as partial funding for a clerk. This request represents an increase in funding over last year in the amount of$60,000. The Finance Committee approved these recommendations on December 13, 1999 and the Board of Supervisors adopted these recommendations on December 14, 1999. The District V Review Committee was recently made aware that the $52,000 for the Environmental Health Division of the Health Department would not use its allocation. The Review Committee recommended to re-direct those funds to the Contra Costa Sheriffs Department to create a position for a School Resource Officer in Bay Point (letter of request attached). The total amount being requested is $131,393.00 - $124,393.00, we have agreed to fund $52,000 of this amount, which represents about half of the costs of the salary and benefits. The Sheriffs Department will fund the other portion of this request. On March 20, the Finance Committee reviewed this issue and supported the reallocation of Feller Mitigation Funds to the Sheriffs Department. Office of the Sheriff Warren E.

Henderson 1980 Muir Road Undersheriff Martinez, California 94553 (925) 313-2520 Date: December 20, 1999 To: Janis Glover, Chief of Staff" District V Supervisor's Office From: Lieutenant Jim Nichols,Muir Station Commander#91 Subject; Bay Point School Resource Officer Per our conversation,the fallowing is my request and proposal for a Bay Point School Resource Officer. The Sheriffs Office has made substantial progress in providing adequate personnel to meet the ever changing challenges that Bay Point presents. This progress has been possible because of support from your office, in the form of financing two Resident Deputy positions, along with the Sheriffs Office dedicating an additional beat when staffing levels allow, In the past two years we have added the second Resident Deputy(this position is funded through your Office), expanding the Resident Deputy position to include the duties of a Juvenile Diversion Officer, a full time Crime Prevention Officer(approximately 80% of time dedicated to Bay Paint), increased Student Worker from part to hall-time to accommodate Bay Point elementary school tutoring program and a Vehicle Abatement Officer. Bay Point's population is rapidly approaching 23,000 residents. As you are well aware,this increase includes a youthful, ethnically and economically diverse population that has specific and unique needs. To meet these needs and challenges I believe a School Resource Officer is not only needed but imperative to the welfare and health of our youth, Bay Point currently has three elementary schools and one middle school. If we added a School Resource Officer(SRO)to our Bay Point team they would be responsive to all schools with Riverview Middle School as their home base. The mission of the SRC} would be to establish a safe school and community environment that promotes the positive development ofBay.Point youth. This would be accomplished by establishing a positive relationship between law enforcement, students,parents, school officials and community resources. In addition,we would use this relationship to foster a partnership that not only encourages positive youth development but also plans and prepares for future needs. Community programs or resources that would be utilized are, SheriTs Office Juvenile Diversion Officer, school counselors and district administration, County Social Services, Child Protective Services, County Probation, S.A.R.B., along with local community program.
