Transportation Fund for Clean Air(TFCA)Regional Fund to provide a rideshare subsidy for
commuter cars and vans (see Exhibit A).
FISCAL IMPACT
NONE to the {general Fund
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District(Air District)administers the Transportation
Fund for Clean Air (TFCA), Regional Fund which is derived from a $4.00 surcharge on
motor vehicle registration fees in the Bay Area.The funds are distributed to public agencies
to implement projects that reduce air pollution caused by motor vehicles; projects that
promote ridesharing(also referred to as car and vanpooling)are eligible underthis criteria.
In November of 2003 the Board approved the transition of the County-run Employee Car
and Vanpool Program to a program operated and managed by the participants, effective
January 2004. In addition the Board approved a rideshare (carivanpool) subsidy to be
given to the participants in this program from revenues derived primarily from the sale of
the vehicles used in the County-run program Additional funding from the TFCA program
supplement the County's revenue and extend the duration of the rideshare subsidy offered
by the County.

ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR GRANT APPLICATION To THE BAY AREA AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
June 22, 2004
Page 2
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)
The Air District has approximately$10 million available for allocation in fiscal year 2004/05
and has issued guidelines for applications.The deadline for applications is June 30, 2004.
Staff is preparing an application for $22,425 these funds would be deposited into the
rideshare subsidy account to fund the purchase of vouchers to be issued to participants in
car and vanpools with Enterprise Rideshare.
The Air District's policies prohibit the exclusive use of TFCA Regional Funds to provide a
financial rideshare subsidy solely to employees of the project sponsor(i.e.: the County to
it's employees alone). Therefore the funds awarded for the rideshare subsidy from the
TFCA Regional Fund would be available to non-County employees so long as the car or
vanpooi serves a County work site and is leased from Enterprise Rideshare. For ease of
administration and equity, non-County employees would need to adhere to the same
conditions as County employees in order to apply for and receive vanpool vouchers from
the County and thus benefit from the rideshare subsidy. Currently, non-County employees
can participate in the car or vanpools formed by participants that are County employees but
they are not eligible for the subsidy funds offered by the County to its employees. This
would be the sole change to the rideshare subsidy approved by the Board in November
2003. The rideshare subsidy to non-County employees would be terminated once the
TFCA funds are exhausted.
It is Board policy to refer all transportation grants to the Transportation Water and
Infrastructure Committee. The deadline for TFCA applications occurs before the next
meeting of this committee. The Department requests that Board consider this
recommendation directly.

SUBJECT-: Juvenile Accountability Block Grant �(,�
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT the attached Resolution which authorizes the County Probation {Officer to apply for and
sign Contra Costa County's grant application for State funding through the California Beard of
Corrections (BOG) for the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG), as well as grant contract.
This Resolution provides necessary assurances to BOC as required in the grant application.
FISCAL IMPACT.
$112,974 is available to Contra Costa County through the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant.
There is a ten percent cash match requirement which will be met utilizing existing Probation
Department resources.
BACKGROUND:
The Juvenile Accountability Black Grant program is based on Title Ill of H.R. 3, the JAIBG Act of
1997, as passed by the United States House of Representatives on May 3, 1997. The
Department of Justice Authorization Act for FY 2003 (Public Law 197-273), signed into law on
November 2, 2002, revises and renames the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant
(JAIBG) to the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG), and places it under Title 11 of the
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act. The total allocation of $14,3£3,400 to the State is
to enable units of local government to promote greater accountability of juvenile offenders in the
Juvenile Justice System. Lantra Costa County's portion of this allocation is $192,974.
It is the intent of the Probation Department to utilize the JABG funding toward the continuation of
collaborative efforts of the East County Juvenile Drug Court program and would fund one Deputy
Probation Officer position.

SUBJECT: Approval to Submit and Execute a Grant Award Agreement with the State Office of Emergency
Services for Funding of the Regional Anti-Drug Program for the Period July 1, 2004
through June 30, 20105 in the Amount of$ 741,626
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve and authorize the District Attorney to submit an application and execute a grant award agreement,
and any extensions or amendments thereof,pursuant to State guidelines, with the State Office of Emergency
Services for funding of the Regional Anti-Drug Program in the amount of$ 741,626 for the period July 1,
2004 through June 30, 2005 (100% federal funds-budgeted).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The Regional Anti-Drug Program has three components operated by the District Attorney, Sheriff-
Coroner, and County Probation Officer, respectively, and has been in effect since fiscal year 1995/96. As in
prior funding cycles, the State is requiring that a single application be submitted under the authority of one
department. Therefore, as in past, the District Attorney is submitting a unified application for all three
participating agencies. Pursuant to State guidelines, the Program is governed by a Steering Committee,
including the District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, County Probation Officer, and the County Drug
Administrator, which approves distribution of the funds. Grant funds are used by the District Attorney to
fund two experienced attorneys and clerical support, by the Sheriffs Office to fund one toxicologist, one
toxicologist aide and one clerk, and by Probation to fund two deputy probation officers and one probation
aide. Expenditures and revenue are built into the 2004/05 budget submissions for the respective agencies to
implement their portion of the grant award. Grant conditions require that the County accept responsibility for
any liability arising out of the performance of the grant award, including civil court action for damages.
Supplantation is prohibited.

BY DEPUTY
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Regional Anti-Drug Program will be continuing the strategy begun four years ago,pursuant to
State and federal guidelines. All three program components will be concentrating on a prioritized
and integrated drug enforcement effort coordinated through the State-led Narcotics Enforcement
Teams operating in the County.
Grant activities focus on middle- and high-level narcotic dealers and manufacturers, violent and
repeat offenders, and drug trafficking gangs and organizations, to interdict the importation,
manufacture and distribution systems which have, in recent years,become more sophisticated in their
methods of operation.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the recommendation will result in the loss of S 741,626 in federal funds available
to combat the drug problem in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND REASON FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District in January 2004 published a Clean Air Pian for the
Alameda County portion of the Tri-Valley area. The plan was prepared with the assistance of
consultants secured by grant funding from the BAAQMD.
The pian is a collection of voluntary measures tailored to fit the needs of the community. It is
expected that a similar plan crafted for Contra Costa County could be of substantial benefit to our
County's air quality.
