DISCUSSION:
The North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee (Mitigation Committee) was formed for the specific purpose of preparing a North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Expenditure Plan (Expenditure Plan) to assist the City and County with the administration of funds for the benefit of North Richmond. In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, all proposed projects and activities included in the Expenditure Plan require authorization by the Richmond City Council and Board of Supervisors for consistency with the purpose of mitigation fund use.
Approval of Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Expenditure Plan would allow City staff to contract with community-based organizations, formally approved by the Mitigation Committee, and to implement programs and projects under the jurisdiction of the City of Richmond.
All the proposed projects were evaluated based on projected outcomes, contributions to the North Richmond community, fiscal management, diversity, and collaboration.
The Expenditure Plan includes all approved strategies as discussed and recommended for action by the Mitigation Committee (Attachment 1). North Richmond community- based organization projects represent collaboration with the City and County to ensure successful outcomes for blight reduction. Approving the Expenditure Plan authorizes the use of mitigation fee funds for the intended purposes and requires proposals to be aligned with the strategies contained therein.
