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. This contract will be funded by the Third 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.
On July 26, 2022 (Item No. 23), the Board approved Contract No. 22-718 to contribute funds to the cost of renovating Valley of the Falls Community Center, which included the parking lot and kitchen renovations. Approval of this Amendment will continue to assist the County with the public purpose of providing social service needs by expanding the contract scope to allow for higher priority repairs, which include a roof replacement, kitchen plumbing and flooring repairs, and structural beam repairs, as well as extending the contract term by an additional 12 months from the current project termination date of July 25, 2023, to allow for the completion of services. The services to be provided shall be completed by July 25, 2024, but may be terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of this contract.
