DISCUSSION:
The City of Richmond is facing a variety of critical infrastructure needs. Implementing over 80 existing Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) will bring significant positive changes to the community and built environment. Public Works, Engineering staff is presenting an update on CIPs and introducing the Programmatic Funding Approach as a possible tool to address unfunded and future CIPs. If the City Council would like staff to proceed in a different manner, we would look forward to receiving feedback to ensure that we are meeting City Council’s expectations, while concurrently managing the workload of City staff members in a department that is continuing to staff up and rebuild internal system.
The Programmatic Funding Approach is a systematic framework for prioritizing the sequence of CIPs. By doing so, we can ensure equitable and effective resource allocation that addresses the City’s infrastructure needs, while enhancing efficiency, achieving cost savings, fostering better coordination, accelerating implementation, and promoting long-term sustainability.
The Programmatic Funding Approach will:
Increase Equity
Implement Existing Master Plans
Increase collaboration with stakeholders
Opportunity to combine different types of projects
Allow a logical and planned sequence of work
Consider maintenance cost after completion of CIPs
Consider contributions to Public Art Funds
Increase sustainability on the long run

November 26, 2024
DISCUSSION:
In early 2023, residents of the North and East neighborhood expressed interest in revitalizing the circle park on 36th St. and Clinton Avenue, focusing on improvements that would create a safe, welcoming, and accessible public space. This interest led Cosm o Martinez and Nancy Lewis to organize Friends of the Circle, a group within the North and East Neighborhood Council, to bring neighbors together and gather feedback on desired improvements.
They surveyed residents at neighborhood events, through social media, and by knocking on doors, ensuring a wide range of input. The responses indicated a strong desire for the replacement of the existing juniper bushes with California native plants to enhance both beauty and sustainability and the installation of a bench.
Nancy and Cosmo compiled this feedback and collaborated with landscape architect Lea Farley and gardener Liz Bittner, resulting in a comprehensive design and cost estimate for materials and labor required to complete the project. The proposal’s focus on accessibility, native landscaping, and seating reflects a community -driven vision for the park, directly supporting the goals set forth by the Council for the Chevron settlement funds.
These funds are designated for public improvements that enhance quality of life, including neighborhood parks that do not increase reliance on fossil fuels. This proposal fits these objectives by creating an inviting space for local residents to walk to and enjoy, supporting both the neighborhood's needs and the city’s overarching goal of community -centered development.

November 26, 2024
DISCUSSION:
The City of Richmond was awarded a $750,000 grant from the State of California, Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, for Local Government: Connecting Neighbor to Neighbors (Neighbor-to-Neighbor). The COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the impact and value of strong, local networks in uplifting community resilience and protecting our most vulnerable populations from the impacts of crisis.
The COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the impact and value of strong, local networks in uplifting community resilience and protecting our most vulnerable populations from the impacts of crisis. Cut off from brick-and-mortar institutions and the services they provided during this time, individuals and families relied more heavily on their local networks, especially neighbors; r esearch from past disasters and emergencies show that neighborhoods with strong ties can overcome these challenges more effectively.
To increase the strength and prevalence of social ties after the pandemic, California Volunteers committed to supporting local neighborhood initiatives that promote resilience and reinforce social connection through the Neighbor-to-Neighbor program.
While Neighbor-to-Neighbor aims to mitigate community isolation, increase volunteer participation, and improve social connectedness in neighborhoods. The City of Richmond provided neighborhoods with a Neighborhood Council $15,000 to support community - building activities. Neighborhoods without a Neighborhood Council or that are a part of a Homeowner’s Association were not able to receive this funding.
Richmond has a total 41 neighborhoods, only 20 of them have a Neighborhood Council.
Through the grant program, the City of Richmond will partner with the Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council to engage 20 neighborhood councils t o do the following:
Neighborhood surveys and workshops to set priorities and plan projects within the grant scope.
Host a kickoff in each neighborhood.
Complete over 80 projects and events. Through the grant, the eligible projects will include:
o Community engagement events, such as a large-scale public workshop or back-to-school fair, that are focused on neighborhood support and recognition.
o Climate action or disaster preparedness activities, such as tree planting or home hardening.
o Local volunteer opportunities, such as community garden work, food distribution, or a neighborhood clean-up that leverages parks and community facilities.
o Training opportunities addressing environmental or resiliency issues specific to the neighborhood, such as earthquake preparedness, wildfire response, and first aid/CPR.
719
November 26, 2024
o Other events may be eligible.
Complete a final neighborhood survey/case study.
Recently, a resident organized a community gathering to strengthen their neighborhood but had to raise $1,500 through GoFundMe to cover expenses, including the printing and door-to-door distribution of flyers. This specific neighborhood does not have a Neighborhood Council and they were not able to benefit from the Neighbor-to-Neighbor program offering financial support for community-building activities.
To ensure that all neighborhoods have equal access to city support, the following is proposed:
1 Funding for All Neighborhoods: Establish a fund accessible to all neighborhoods, regardless of or ganizational structure, for community -building events, beautification efforts, safety improvements, and other neighborhood enhancement initiatives.
2 Mailing Services for Flyers: Extend city-supported flyer mailing services to all neighborhoods, similar to the existing service for NCs, to ensure outreach and communication about neighborhood events.
3 Approval-Based Fund Distribution: Direct staff to design a process where community advocates in each neighborhood can apply for funds by collecting 10 signatures from neighbors approving the event and the associated expenses. 4 Transparency and Accountability: Implement a reporting mechanism for event organizers to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of city -provided funds.
All neighborhoods in Richmond, whether they have a Neighborhood Council, Homeowner’s Association, or neither, deserve equitable access to city resources that support community building and improvement efforts. Providing funding and mailing services to all neighborhoods will foster inclusivity and ensure that all residents benefit from the city's services.

WHEREAS, to ensure that all neighborhoods have equal access to city support, the following is proposed:
1 Funding for All Neighborhoods: Establish a fund accessible to all neighborhoods, regardless of organizational structure, for community -building ev ents, beautification efforts, safety improvements, and other neighborhood enhancement initiatives. 2 Mailing Services for Flyers: Extend City-supported flyer mailing services to all neighborhoods, similar to the existing service for NCs, to ensure outreach and communication about neighborhood events.
3 Approval-Based Fund Distribution: Direct staff to design a process where community advocates in each neighborhood can apply for funds by collecting 10 signatures from neighbors approving the event and the associated expenses. 4 Transparency and Accountability: Implement a reporting mechanism for event organizers to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of City-provided funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that all neighborhoods in Richmond, whether they have a Neighborhood Council, Home owner’s Association, or neither, receive equitable access to City resources that support community building and improvement efforts , including funding and mailing services to foster inclusivity and ensure that all residents benefit from the City's services.
