Contra Costa County Supervisors to Get Measure X Report, Reallocate Funding

On Tuesday, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors are set to receive a report on Measure X funded projects. They will also be asked to reallocate some Measure X funding.

Between Fiscal Years 2021-2024, $353.2M in total revenues was budgeted for Measure X, and with the anticipation of revenue surplus, a total of $356.8M was appropriated for project allocations. The total actual revenues received through FY23-24 was $389.1M, yielding an actual surplus of $32.2M compared to budgeted total allocations. The total audited, actual expenditures for Measure X allocations through June 30, 2024 was $134.7M.

With $32 million surplus available, the Board of Supervisors are being asked to reallocate some of the funds.  This includes:

• Employment and Human Services Department requests to reallocate $10.6M for youth centers capital budgets in District 3 and District 5.
• The Public Defender requests to repurpose $616,404 from prior year salary savings for Stand Together Contra Costa:
  • $275,000 to provide 2 years of Legal Services Coordination to support legal system navigation for migrants impacted by the Concord Federal Immigration Court
  • $170,000 award to provide 2 years of coordination and outreach for monthly self-help Immigration Clinics in Contra Costa
  • $170,000 for the purchase of a recreational vehicle (RV) to serve as a mobile legal clinic providing on-site legal consultations and services for hard to reach immigrants

New allocation requests:

• Capital projects
  • Public Works requests $3.75M one-time for Veterans’ Halls deferred maintenance
  • Library requests $517,241 one-time for increased facilities maintenance costs which could be partially offset by $105,762 in prior year salary savings from the Early Literacy (Rolling Reader) allocation
• The County Administrator’s Office requests $500k one-time to support an organizational study of the County’s Emergency Management System

RECEIVE reporting and presentations on Measure X funded projects and performance measures in a joint session of the Board of Supervisors and Measure X Community Advisory Board.

On November 3, 2020, voters in Contra Costa County approved Measure X, a Countywide, 20-year, half-cent sales tax. The ballot measure language stated the intent of Measure X as “to keep Contra Costa’s regional hospital open and staffed; fund community health centers, emergency response; support crucial safety-net services; invest in early childhood services; protect vulnerable populations; and for other essential county services.”

Today’s discussion includes presentations on project updates and performance measures from the departments that have Measure X allocations. More details on the status of funded Measure X projects and related expenditures are provided in the Annual Report
