FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). On September 21, 2021 (Item No. 18) and November 16, 2021 (Item No. 33), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved an allocation of $4 million and $7 million, respectively, to the Board Discretionary Fund - District Specific Priorities Program (Priorities Program), for each of the five supervisorial districts for projects that meet a public purpose, and provide services to citizens that promote health, safety, economic well-being, and other public services that enhance quality of life and meet the needs of County residents. On an annual basis, unspent appropriations for discretionary funding will be carried over into the subsequent year’s budget. The recommended contracts will be funded by the Fourth District’s Priorities Program budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Priorities Program projects help to promote the vision of a complete County by recognizing the unique traits of each Supervisorial District and, thereby, allow individual Board Districts to work with community partners through County services and contractual agreements to identify programs, projects, and initiatives that support the vision, meet a public purpose and provide services to residents that promote health, safety, economic well-being, education, recreation, and other public services that enhance quality of life, and meet the needs of the County’s residents. Projects under the District Specific Priorities Program are based on District Supervisor discretion and are presented by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Board approval.
The recommended contract under Recommendation No. 1 will assist the Fourth District Supervisor with the public purpose of providing for the public safety and law enforcement needs of County residents by providing funding to the City of Montclair for the purchase of a tactical reinforced vehicle, including the purchase and installation of communication equipment and identifying graphics. The recommended contract under Recommendation No. 2 will assist the Fourth District Supervisor with the public purpose of providing for the well-being, education and social welfare needs by providing funding for the Upskill Chino Valley program administered by the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce, which provides training and support programs aimed at building a skilled workforce through entrepreneurship, economic and leadership development.
Under the contract terms, the CEO, at the direction of the Supervisor of the respective district that the contract serves, may extend the term of the contract, in writing, under the following conditions:
a. In aggregate all extensions do not exceed 12 calendar months;
b. Is specifically requested by Contractor;
c. Will not change the project goals or scope of services;
d. Is in the best interest of County and Contractor in performing the scope of services under the contract; and
e. Does not alter the amount of compensation under the contract.
Board discretionary funding allocations under the Priorities Program are non-competitive and must be for projects or services of $50,000 or more. Contracts shall be paid on a lump-sum basis or under other terms as approved by the Board.
