DISCUSSION:
The North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee (Committee) reviews and recommends approval of the annual North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Expenditure Plan (Expenditure Plan) for North Richmond community clean-up projects and services. The purpose of the Committee is to provide the City of Richmond (City) and County of Contra Costa (County) with recommended Expenditure Plans that describe the annual activities and/or strategies for keeping North Richmond clean and reducing blighted conditions.
The Expenditure Plan governs the use of funding at the end of each fiscal year (July 1st through June 30th) granting the City and County the authority to utilize allocated funding amounts of actual expenditures for services and activities.
On October 21, 2022, the Committee recommended amendments to both expenditure plans represented in Attachment 1 (FY 2021-22 Amended Expenditure Plan), and Attachment 2 (FY 2022-23 Amended Expenditure Plan). As required, both the Richmond City Council, and the County Board of Supervisors must approve the recommendation. On November 11, 2022, the County Board of Supervisors approved the recommendation. Upon the City Council’s approval, North Richmond projects may commence.
