FISCAL IMPACT None. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION Passage of Proposition 111 in 1990, resulted in a new planning requirement for local governments in California. In order to qualify for Proposition 111 gas tax revenues, counties must prepare, adopt and comply with a countywide Congestion Management Program (CMP) which consists of five elements: 1) standards for traffic levels of service on a designated road system; 2) standards for transit service; 3) a trip reduction and travel demand element; 4) an analysis of the impact of land use decisions on the regional transportation system; and 5) a seven-year capital improvement program to maintain or improve the traffic level of service. Passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act of. 1991 by the Federal government, and subsequent state legislation has also conditioned the future allocation of federal and state transportation revenues to a city or county's compliance with the CMP.

Orig: Community Development Department ATTESTED Q93 Contact Person, Steven Goetz, 6-2134 cc: PHIL BATCHELOR, CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BY , DEPUTY - 4 Policy Issues Regarding the Draft 1993 Congestion Management Program September 13, 1993 Page Two The cities and the County designated the Contra Costa Transportation Authority as the county's Congestion Management Agency responsible for preparing and enforcing the CMP. The Authority has prepared a Draft 1993 CMP which raises several policy issues the Board should be aware of. CMP Level of Service Standards Violation of the CMP Level of Service (LOS) standards may become an overriding consideration in some future land use changes. Violation of CMP LOS standards triggers the preparation of a Deficiency Plan by the affected jurisdiction and its Regional Transportation Planning Committee (RTPC) . The Deficiency Plan must measurably improve the LOS of the system and contribute to significant improvements in Air Quality. Preparation of a Deficiency Plan will be particularly difficult in those areas of the county where CMP LOS compliance procedures are not consistent with local general plans. For example, in the far eastern portion of Contra Costa County a CMP LOS "E" standard must be maintained on State Route 4 and the General Plan policies of local jurisdictions rely on major road expansion to achieve this LOS standard. Major road improvements, however, are not viewed by the Air District as contributing significant improvements to air quality. It is not clear how the CMP LOS compliance procedures address compliance in areas where CMP requirements are not consistent with local general plans. However, future development decisions must recognize the greater emphasis being placed on achievement of traffic LOS standards (and air quality) . The CMP is limiting the ability of local jurisdictions to balance the issues involved in land use decisions. Jobs and Housing Balance Balancing jobs and housing is an' important consideration in some land use decisions and should be considered in addition to CMP LOS standards in determining compliance with the CMP. The Authority might consider if local compliance with the CMP should include a determination of conformity with the housing options/job opportunities element of the Measure C-1988 Growth Management Program. The housing options/job opportunities element of the Measure C-1988 Growth Management Program is consistent with the CMP statute that requires a trip reduction and travel demand ordinance to include "improvements in the balance between jobs and housing. " Incorporating the Measure C-1988 requirement into the CMP compliance procedures would help encourage progress towards a common objective of encouraging local jurisdictions to address job and housing opportunties as it relates to traffic congestion.

This workshop which will focus on the resources available to the parent returning to the workforce. Job search, interview skills, transportation to and from the work place, child care and opportunities for continued vocational education will also be addressed. (5) Hand-In-Hand -Work Trac c Pastnership. Expand cooperation between the Private Industry Council and local community colleges to facilitate locally based jobs training programs and referral services. (6 ) jr-id Watch, initiate shared child care services involving parents, schools, the Contra Costa Children's Council and e Private Industry Council. This will give parents-, who Duldeordinarily not have the resources to take advantage of existing local child care services, the opportunity to seek employment in Contra Costa County. (7 ) Strgncrtbenjac the Family. Pursue ways that the county and the Community College District can work together in ways to strengthen the family and employment opportunities . Parents on AFDC desperately need working and parenting skills that will enable them to live independent, productive lives, but they are often unable to obtain the skills they need because they lack dependable child care, transportation or other necessary elements . We need to explore ways that the Work Furlough Center, adult education, community colleges, the Private Industry Council and the Social Services Department can . work together to provide these families with an intensive basic skills program to improve literacy, job readiness, marketability and support structure. (6 ) Zlexible IItilization of _CRDBG Funds_. Direct the Community Development staff to pursue legislative administrative changes to allow more flexibility and realistic utilization of Community and Housing Development Block Grant funds in the economic development category. This jobs development opportunity is under-utilized now because of unnecessary restrictions. (9 ) Reorcranizati n of *91fare Programs L Build and expand on the successful Family Preservation Program. As part of realignment and our efforts to remove categorical funding barriers and develop more flexible funding guidelines for interagency cooperative programs, direct the Social Services Department, the Health Services Department and the Probation Department to present recommendations on how the county could better provide services and reduce the duration of stay in dependency/welfare programs, and reduce the number of "negative outcomes" from 4igh risk families. (10) Volunteer Outreach and KentershliD Programs.. This should include outreach with the Contra Costa Council, the Industrial Association, Council of Industries, the Chambers of Commerce, the Central Labor Council, the AFSCME, the Deputy Sheriff's Association, Local 1, the Professional Firefighters Local and other labor organizations. All of us must work together. Bach of us must do our small part. Many incredible volunteer efforts are already going on and there should be a renewed call to volunteerism with a special focus on high risk families and high risk youth. Anal see such as Lisbeth Schorr's •Within our Reach: Breaking the Cycle of Disadvantage, prove a definite correlation between a reduction in negative •outcomes such as illiteracy, adolescent crime, drop out rates, school aged child bearing and high risk families trapped in poverty and under sress from a number of pressure points, her analysis and of our family preservation program concerted efforts tc Contra Costa Works march 17, 1992 page THREE We should work with other agencies and with citizens from all parts of Contra Costa County to expand on successes such as "Adopt-A-School, Adopt-a-Family, Adopt-a-Youth, Adopt-a-Neighborhood, Adopt-a-Park, Adopt-a-Street Prograa►s- . ( 11 ) Develop further models of coordinated Community Service Centers-- concept of coordinating resources from a variety of agencies--schools, Health Department, Social Services , police, Probation. Support existing efforts and participate actively in current planning efforts. Such centers are boding established or planned at (1) Marsh School in Antioch; (2) the First Baptist Church Head Start: Program in Pittsburg; (3) the West Pittsburg Schools Projects between he Sdcial Services Department and the Mt. Diablo School istrict; and (4 ) the Work Furlough project working with the Community College District and the Social Services Department. R B. Refer the issues surrounding farther recommendations on welfare reform to the Finance Committee, includings (1 ) Support automation, simplification and standardization of eligibility requirements. (2 ) Develop a position�'on the . «cash out" of the food stamp program with a potential savings in administrative costs of $1 . $ to 2 billion nationwide--and potentially $5 million to $7 million in Contra Costa. (3 ) 'Giving Back Concept"--in an effort to further a work ethic and a greater sense of social responsibility, all recipients of .government 'assistance should be asked to give back 80 hours/month of volunteer service including participation in a child care co-op which could free other men and women who need child care to pursue job training and employment. (4 ) Reduction in GA grant issues regarding those who are receiving assistance in the homeless shelters. Grants for new arrivals in California to be no higher than state coming from for one or two years . C. Refer to the Housing Authority, the Delta 2000 Basic Heeds Committee, and the internal Operations CcumQittee to review the need for more affordable housing. Presently, the average base salary for jobs in this county is not enough to meet housing needs and other basic needs. Worts by the Housing Authority and the Affordable Housing Trsut nand Committee should continue to provide more affordable housingin Contra Costa County. D. Network Our Legislative advocacy on th4ee issues with Contra Costa fitie, schools, speciakl districts and cc==nit'y based organisations. Rfer all Action Items an 2nteragency Collaboration to the Fiscal Wty Committee to build an cooperative efforts already underway. RACRGROMM IN M"IMIOONs Refer to information and concepts in the attached 'Contra Costa works. " These concepts and recommendations have developed directly and indirectly through discussions with the staffs at our incarceration facilities, juvenile hall, the Boys Ranch, and the homeless shelter as well as through discussions with other Board members, and department heads. They have also emerged in further detail as to result of our public hearings and committee efforts in North Richmond and Nest Pittsburg. Contra Cota County has led in the *Thinking of Linking" and the "Linking of Thinking" collaborative approaches--discovering new and better ways of delivering services. We have been able "to do more with less" becasue _ of our creatie approaches. We are in the midst of a long journey of historic change and can expand our role as creative catalysts and facilitators of progressive reorganization of government. January 1992 "CONTRA COSTA WORKS" b;► Supervisor Tom Torlakson The most important service county government can provide for the citizens and families of Contra Costa is providing a greater opportunity for emvlavment. An individual or family with employment has a positive stake in the future of our communities. Families with employment obviously give more effective support to their children, are more functional and are less likely to become dependent on county services . The recession has severely hit Contra Costa citizens and families. The Board of Supervisors can be an even more effective force for employment and economic development by giving this need special focus this year. Contra Costa County is typical of California counties facing horrendous problems--from the growing numbers of homeless.. to the increases in drug and alcohol addiction, to the exploding population in our juvenile and adult detention facilities. We have major layoffs by our heavy industry and severe reductions in other parts of our local economy. We face rapidly expanding caseloads in every sector. Some of the problems are recession related and some are endemic to particular neighborhoods with chronic high unemployment and high numbers Of families dependent on government services. page TWO At the same time Contra Costa County has had strong growth in jobs and in housing over the past ten years and is a county with tremendous opportunities. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is in a key position of leadership and is in a key position of knowledge as to what the problems are facing our families and what change is needed to address these historic challenges. We must continue our. traditional role as innovative advocates for reform and reorganization of local government service ..-delivery to improve the quality of life for our citizens and to more effectively use the financial resources available. The focus of our efforts should be both on what we can do to enhance economic development and todeformwelfare and other -"government dependency" Jproarams and on what changes we should advocate in state and federal legislation. Obviously, some of the reforms and changes are required to address immediate and shorter term solutions while many others will address longer range solutions. For more than just a "Jumpstart" to the economy in this recession, we must continue advocating a major emphasis, on jobs--in the form of a massive investment through federal, state and local partnerships--in our public works infrastructure: from roads and bridges that are so desperately in need of expansion and repair to the extension of the transit syk:tems that must be built to fight air pollution and make our commutes more liveable, to the enormous number of new public buildings that need to be constructed, we have much to do in this country and in Contra Costal Page THREE ' As local transportation officials, we are keenly aware that transportation improvements are a major key to economic development. We have forged innovation partnerships and pioneered in creative funding programs for roads and transit. We should continue our aggressive leadership. Last year we were active in lobbying for release of the approximately $24 billion in Federal trust funds for highways and transit development. The recent Federal Surface Transportation Act putting $151 billion into the economy is a good step but does not go far enough. That $151 billion over six years compares to other gigantic sums of money the United States is pumping annually into the European, Korean, and Japanese economies through our aid programs and military presence. We must vigorously advocate for a redirection of funds in the federal budget to bolster our own economy and bring vitality back into the American workforce. s, In Contra Costa County, our transportation planners and engineers have identified $5-$6 billion of transit, highway and road construction projects that are needed. In our county we also have many aged public facilities such as a county hospital that is at a point close to decertification and a juvenile hall built in the 1950's which is unacceptable under today's standards and provides a wretched environment for the youth we detain. Other construction needs are enormous for new . schools, libraries, health clinics, senior housing facilities, day care centers--to name just a few priorities. 1 r _ Page FOUR I firmly believe that education is a big part of the answer. We need adequate education funding to address the greater learning of the basics--basic reading,. writing, arithmetic and communication skills--as well as a major new effort providing relevant job training. A large number of youth are not now prepared for the jobs in today's economy and our .education . system does not appear to be dynamically responding to the changing job market. Re-gearing our education system to better address the future needs of our economy is a "longer range" issue but needs sharp attention now. Even more important than education at this time is EMPLOYMENT. Jobs development is the most important and most immediate need and should be at the top of all our agendas as public 'officials. For most of the youth in juvenile hall, for most of the homeless adults on our streets, there is no positive future on the horizon. For these youth and many others, there is no real employment opportunity--either because of the lack of jobs or because of the lack of training or because of the lack of development of a work ethic. The latter phenomenon--a deficiency of purpose and a missing sense of responsibility often coupled with despair--we find most prevalent in communities that have a large number of dysfunctional families. Thes.: r PAGE FIVE families are chronically unemployed and are frequently two or three generations into the welfare cycle. Reform of the welfare system is critically needed in a way that fosters a work ethic and a sense of responsibility to family and community. The best way to do this I believe is directly through employment and also through training for available jobs. Various federal and state proposals are before the policy makers in Sacramento and Washington which offer revenue to stimulate the economy through tax incentives, bond programs, interest rates and special financial tools. Our Board of Supervisors on behalf of Contra Costa should support the program s we believe will be most effective. In addition, a federal or federal-state operated jobs program could be very effective at this time. Many of us have relatives and friends who worked in the California Conservation Corps and the Work Projects Administration. They were glad for the chance to work and believed that they contributed to worthwhile projects. There is a need to reinstitute programs like these to directly employ the unemployed as well as employ those on welfare capable of working. From work, a sense of pride and self-worth develop lasting strengths and capabilities. a Page SIX We must support the investment of significant funding resources into public/private partnerships to accomplish these goals and directly into the private sector. We have very effective "county" agencies currently in place that could prioritise and distribute funds to worthwhile projects. Some of these are committees overseeing federal funds such as the Private Industry Council and the Community Housing Development Block Grant Advisory Committee. Without creating new "bureaucracies" , these agencies could help create tens of thousands of new jobs in California counties alone. We should support legislation to accomplish this kind of investment and jobs development. Again, in transportation, our County Public 'Works Department has identified $83 million worth of work on federal aid routes that could be advertised and constructed this year if funds were available. We also have a Contra Costa Transportation Authority in our County that has developed an expenditure program and effective implementation plan for $800 million in highway and transit needs but could also readily tackle the other $5 billion in transportation infrastructure referenced earlier. We should support bond programs and other state and federal legislation that will direct major funding into transportation public works. Investment of such additional resources in transportation would provide a dual economic benefit--immediate jobs creation plus long range assistance by opening up economic development opportunities. Let's invest in America's futurel Lets invest in Contra Costa __O_untyls futurel We have wars to fight and win here at home against unemployment, illiteracy, crime, homelessness,, . poor health and diseases We need to support creative, massive and long-range investment in both our physical infrastructure and in our human services *infrastructure. " MEMORANDUM DATE: 11j6j1992 TO: Sara Hoffman - Senior Deputy Administrator FROM: Joan Sparks, hector Community Se ces RE: " Contra Costa Works" It is an important realization for the County Departments to assume a more creative or entrepreneurial approach to enhance their expansion of services to the poor through program development and with the positive side effect of job. creat on. An entrepreneurial •approach can make a meaningful contribution to budgets and to service activities. The entrepreneurship places a high value on qualitative issues such as insight, imagination and the willingness to take risk. In many cases, the quality of the management may be more important than the details of the project. •' Despite the complexity of factors which make for successful enterprise activity by County Departments, there are some issues and broad themes common to the successful ventures: adequate attention to organizational development, appropriate opportunity identification, realistic feasibility studies and business plans, and finally, adequate monitoring systems. Department of Community Services is entering its 28th year of providing multi-faceted community based programs to the people of Contra Costa County, California. The programs of the Community Services Department are not, to any extent, funded out of the general fund of the County or other traditional County level tax based sources. They are. dependent on a variety of Federal, State, and Foundation grants. The major focus of the Department over the long term has been in early childhood education, a readdressing of the issues of the early human development to change the childrs methods and quer in conceptualizing the world and how to survive in it setting the patterns for future teen and adult behavior. Coawunfky potvio.R 1 The programs are: HEADSTAn 1. Education - Head Start's educational program is designed to meet each child's individual needs. It also aims to meet the needs of the community served and its ethnic and cultural characteristics. Every child receives a variety of learning experiences to foster intellectual, social, and emotional growth. Children participate in indoor and outdoor play and are introduced to the concepts of words and numbers. They are encouraged to express their feelings to develop self-confidence and the ability to get along with others. 2. Health - Head Start emphasizes the importance to early identification of health problems. Since many preschool children of low income families have never seen a doctor or dentist, Head Start provides every child with a comprehensive health care program, including medical, dental, mental health, and nutrition services. 3. Parent Involvement - Parents are the most important influence on a child's development. An essential part of every Head Start program is the involvement of parents in parent education, program planning and operating activities. Many serve as members of Policy Councils and Communities and have a voice in administrative and managerial decisions. 4. Social Services - The social services component of Head Start represents an organized method of assisting families to assess their needs, and then providing those services that will build upon the individuals strengths of families. to meet their own needs. CHILD DEYUQPPXFNT The program objectives are to provide: 1. An environment thpt: * Would be comfortable, enriching, and meets the Title XXII regulations for health and safety. * Would be organized to use both indoor and out door space for a variety of age-appropriate activities. * Would be organized with specific areas for dramatic play, blocks construction, arts and crafts, eating, community time, fine motor skills, large motor skills, a book nook, listening station, display area, learning centers and other activities as needed. co«.unity ".ells 2 * Will have suitable equipment and materials sufficient for the group size and activities, age-appropriate, well organized, in good repair and accessible to the children for a wide variety of activities. * Will have equipment and furnishings arranged for the safe and smooth flow of traffic. * Provide a place for each child to keep personal possessions. 2. A ComprehengiY.e rQSKam that * Will use lesson plans to present a wide variety of age- appropriate activities to meet the assessed needs of the children. * The daily schedules of activities for smooth transition and time for large and small group instruction as well as non- structured and resting periods. * Will include a balance of activities in art, music, literature, science, social science, mathematics, physical education, self help skills, and social interaction at an age appropriate level. * Will include time for self-selected" individual, small and large group activities. * Will encourage a partnership with parents .to improve the language, social/emotional, cognitive, physical, and creative development of their children. * will encourage the parent in activities that will improve their parenting skills. 3. &g.tiyitigs that; * will assist in building children's self-esteem. * are attached to the children's play. * facilitate children's learning by doing. * provide opportunities for children to interact with others. * provide opportunity for children to make choices, solve problems and recognize consequences. * provide opportunity for children to hear and use language. * incorporate the use of both large and small motor integration. * arouse the curiosity of children about their own and the larger environment. * respect the diversity of the children's background and cultural. * help children learn self--control and responsibility for their own actions. * help children learn respect for the rights of others. * expand children's knowledge about their world. * provide opportunities for children to express their feelings through art, music, dance, drama and language. The most recut focus, through cooperative efforts has been: 1) Actual on-the-job training, through a CCCPZC grant, 3 huaw+ity JF.rv3ua I r offering work in conjunction with the Head Start programs. This trains the individual giving them a chance to experience and learn what it takes to get a job, retain a job, and what the actual knowledge required. The studer,t will then receive academic credit (presently being negotiated) and ultimately be hired to work in one of our delegate agencies or one of our child centers. 2) An effort with the business community, UC Extension,CCC Department of Education, Verde Elementary School and the 4-H club to develop a community garden and education program. The ultimate objective of this program is the pairing of the children and adults with "other role models' to give an alternate to their present mind set and stimulate an image of success. Zn addition the Department has multiple proposals out to various agencies to develop programs for job training and employment which will , hopefully be on line shortly. 4 Co�eunity L�tio.• PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT h U V 6 1992 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY DATE: November 6, 1992 TO: Sara Hoffman, Senior Deputy Administrator, CAO FROM: J. Michael Walford, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Contra Costa Works I apologize for not responding sooner to your request for information regarding Tom Torlakson's "Contra Costa Works". In his paper, Supervisor Torlakson draws attention to some of the problems facing our County and the important role which jobs and employment play in easing many of those problems. He particularly focuses on the role which government needs to play in providing employment through improvements to our infrastructure and other public facilities. As Supervisor Torlakson points out in his paper, the Public Works Department has identified over eighty-three million dollars worth of work on highways that could be done if funds were available. Throughout the County,we have identified in excess of five billion dollars that could be spent on transportation if funds were available. Through organizations such as the American Public Works Association and the County Engineers Association of California we actively lobbied for maximum possible funding of the federal highway program which resulted in the most recent federal highway act known as "ISTEA". We also lobbied very hard at the state level for the adoption of Senate Bill 1435, which provided for a direct pass through of some of the ISTEA money to counties and cities, in an amount approximating what we used to receive under the old highway act, plus a COLA. At two recent meetings I attended with county engineers from other counties throughout the nation, I find that California is the only state which has taken action in order to provide the direct pass through of ISTEA funds to local agencies. For several years now we have retained D. J. Smith & Associates in Sacramento as a lobbyist in the transportation area, and D. J. has been successful in attracting over 12 million dollars in special grants to Contra Costa County over the lost ten years or so. On a more, local scene, the County has been very successful in competition with other agencies within the Bay Area at attracting special grants for trails and commuter rail. s S. Hoffman November 6, 1992 Page 2 ' A couple of months ago the Board approved an assessment district in the Kensington area which will be doing approximately five million dollars worth of road rehabilitation and maintenance ove,:the next three years. Approximately one-half of this cost is being paid by the residents of Kensington. We have another assessment district being processed which will do approximately one million dollars worth of road improvements paid for totally by developers in the Tassajara Valley. in the East County we were successful in obtaining almost ten million dollars worth of grants from the Federal Aviation Administration in order to build a new airport south of Byron. The first contract, worth approximately one-half million dollars, is nearing completion and we have received bids on the second contract, worth approximately two million dollars. Constructionson the second contract should begin in about one month, if we can get the necessary environmental clearance. Another mufti-million dollar contract will be let next summer for the major paving work of the new runways. In summary, I think we have been extremely successful in attracting special grants and assessment districts in order to greatly increase the amount of work available for infrastructure development and rehabilitation. Despite the economy, I expect the availability of the smaller grants to continue and our ability to capture at least our share of these grants to continue. The larger projects, such as the Byron Airport and Kensington Assessment District, involve at least three years of construction, which will hopefully see us out :of the worst of the current recession and time of high unemployment. With a Democratic administration and Congress in Washington, we are likely to see some special grant programs for infrastructure construction and rehabilitation in order to improve the employment figures, provided funding can be found. One area where the Board could be more helpful would be if they could be more aggressive when opportunities for outside funding become available. In particular, I am referencing the Kensington Assessment District,which we came extremely dose to losing due to the Board's hesitancy. In the summer of 1991 we notified every property owner in Kensington of our intention to levy an assessment against their property, and advised them how to file a protest against the assessment if they wished to do so. less than five percent of the property owners protested the assessment, and yet the Board voted to delay approval of the district pending a popular vote in the June, 1992 primary. This was one of the smallest protests we had ever had against an assessment district, and I was deeply concerned over the Board's hesitancy to approve the district in spite of insignificant opposition, both due to the risk inherent in putting the matter before the voters and the year-long delay in getting the work out to bid. As it was,the popular vote was 50.7 percent in favor of proceeding with the district, and the Board has therefore taken the action to proceed. It was a big gamble on five million dollars worth of infrastructure work considering only five percent of the property owners voiced opposition in 1991. r S. Hoffman November 6, 1992 Page 3 The Public Works Department is also involved in several programs which provide work and a limited amount of training for people on welfare, inmates at the detention facility, and juvenile offenders. In the case of the welfare, or workfare, program we provide the funding for up to forty peoplb a day largely involved in roadside cleanup. This provides some training in work habits, but virtually nothing in terms of job skills. We pay for one, and sometimes two, crews from the detention facility, mostly involved in cleaning brush and debris out of creeks. This involves some use of both hand and power tools, and the length of assignment is significantly longer which enhances the inmates potential for learning some job skills, although they are quite basic. We have been involved in the juvenile program for a number of years, and they also do a low skill level work in the area of dean-up, largely on weekends. For a number of years we have been involved in the County's Career Development Program which provides excellent training for long-term employment to people in areas of the County which have high unemployment. I feel we have been quite successful in this area, in that several of the people involved in this program have continued into full time employment. At the present time these Career Development positions are vacant, and along with several of our permanent positions are being held vacant due to a lack of funding because of the economy. We have also decided, for the first time in my twenty-nine years with the County, not to recruit and hire any engineers this coming year. With the poor economy the income we receive from developers' fees is down almost seventy-five percent. The recently approved state budget drastically cut special district augmentation funds.which had a major effect on funding for the County Flood Control District, and a significant decrease in the amount of manpower assigned to that function. Due to the County's serious budget problems we have also seen a significant portion of our road budget, which would normally be spent on capital construction work, being diverted to fund services which other departments provide to the road program. This funding has been critical to keeping essential County services funded,and the employees who provide those services employed. However, it represents about one million dollars, which in previous years has been directed towards infrastructure construction and rehabilitation. JMW:djh:ty cOwrnaNman.ti t January 1992 *CONTRA COSTA WORKS" b•y Super-visor Tom Torlakson The most important service county government can provide for the citizens and families of Contra Costa Is providing a greater opportunity for employment. An individual or family with employment has a positive stake in the future of our communities. Families with employment obviously give more effective support to their children, are more functional and are less likely to become dependent on county services. The recession has severely hit Contra costa citizens and families . The Board of Supervisors can be an even more effective force for employment and economic development by giving this need special focus this year. Contra Costa County is typical of California. counties facing horrendous problems--from the growing numbers of homeless, to the increases in drug and alcohol addiction, to the exploding population in our juvenile and adult detention facilities . We have major layoffs by our heavy industry and severe reductions in other parts of our local economy. We face rapidly expanding caseloads in every sector. Some of the problems are recession related and some are endemic to particular neighborhoods with chronic high unemployment and high numbers of families dependent on government services. s Page TWO At the same time Contra Costa County has had strong growth in jobs and in housing over the past ten years and is a county with tremendous opportunities. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is in a key position of leadership and is in a key position of knowledge as to what the problems are facing our families and what change is needed to address these historic challenges. we must continue our traditional role as innovative advocates for reform and reorganization of local government service delivery to improve the quality of life for our citizens and to more effectively use the financial resources available. The focus of our efforts should be both on : what we can do to enhance economic development and to_Ieform welfare and other "government dependency" Programs and on what changes we should advocate in state and federal legislation. Obviously, some of the reforms and changes are required to address immediate and shorter terra solutions while many others will address longer range solutions. For more than just a "jumpstart" to the economy in this recession, we must continue advocating a major emphasis on jobs--in the form of a massive investment through federal, state and local partnerships--in our public works infrastructure: from roads and bridges that are so desperately in need of expansion and repair to the extension of the transit syatems that must be built to fight air pollution and make our commutes more liveable, to the enormous number of new public buildings that need to be constructed, we have much to do in this country and in Contra Costal Ap Page THREE As local transportation officials, we are keenly aware that transportation improvements are a major key to economic development. We have forged innovation partnerships and pioneered in creative funding programs for roads and transit. We should continue our aggressive leadership. Last year we were active in lobbying for release of the approximately $24 billion in Federal trust funds for highways and transit development. The recent Federal Surface Transportation•• Act putting $151 billion into the economy is a good step but does not go far enough. That $151 billion over six years compares to other gigantic sums of money the United States is pumping annually into the European, Korean, and Japanese economies through our aid programs and military presence. We must vigorously advocate for a redirection of funds in the federal budget to bolster our own economy and bring°,vitality back into the American workforce. In Contra Costa County, our transportation planners and engineers have identified $5-$6 billion of transit, highway and road construction projects that are needed. In our county we also have many aged public facilities such as a county hospital that is at a point close to decertification and a juvenile hall built in the 1950's which is unacceptable under today's standards and provides a wretched environment for the youth we detain. Other construction needs are enormous for new, schools, libraries, health clinics, senior housing facilities, day care centers--to name just a few priorities. i r Page FOUR I firmly believe that education is a big part of the answer. . We need adequate education funding to address the greater learning of the basics--basic reading, writing, arithmetic and communication skills--as well as a major new effort providing relevant job training. 'A large number of youth are not now prepared for the jobs in today`s economy and our education system does not appear to be dynamically responding to the changing job market. Re-gearing our education system to better address the future needs of our economy is a "longer range" issue but needs sharp attention now. Even more important than education at this time is EMPLOYMENT. Jobs development is the most important and most immediate need and should be at the top of all our agendas as public officials . For most of the youth in juvenile hall, for most of the homeless adults on our streets, there is no positive future on the horizon. For these youth and many others, there is no real employment opportunity--either because of the lack of jobs or because of the lack of training or because of the lack of development of a work ethic. The latter phenomenon--a deficiency of purpose and a missing sense of responsibility often coupled with despair--we find most prevalent in communities that have a large number of dysfunctional families. Theses PAGE FIVE families are chronically uiemployed and are frequently two or three generations into the welfare cycle. Reform of the welfare system is critically needed in a way that fosters a work ethic and a sense of responsibility to family and community. The best way to do this I believe is directly through employment and also through training for available jobs. Various federal and state proposals are before the policy makers in Sacramento and Washington which offer revenue to stimulate the economy through tax incentives, bond programs, interest rates and special financial tools. Our Board of Supervisors on behalf of Contra Costa should support the program s we believe will be most effective. In addition, a federal or federal-state operated jobs program could be very effective at this time. Many of us have relatives and friends who worked in the California Conservation Corps and the Work Projects Administration. They were glad for the chance to work and believed that they contributed to worthwhile projects. There is a need to reinstitute programs like these to directly employ the unemployed as well as employ those on welfare capable of working. From work, a sense of pride and self-worth develop lasting strengths and capabilities. Page SIX We must support the investment of significant funding resources into public/private partnerships to accomplish these goals and directly into the private sector. We have very effective *county" agencies currently in place that could prioritize and distribute funds to worthwhile projects. Some of these are committees overseeing federal funds such as the Private industry Council and the Community . Housing Development Block Grant Advisory Committee. Without creating new "bureaucracies" , these agencies could help create tens of thousands of new jobs in California counties alone. We should support legislation to accomplish this kind of investment and jobs development. Again, in transportation, our County Public Works Department has identified $83 million worth of work on federal aid routes that could be advertised and constructed this year if funds were available. We .also have a Contra Costa Transportation Authority in our County that has developed an expenditure program and effective implementation plan for $800 million in highway and transit needs but could also readily tackle the other $5 billion in transportation sportation infrastructure referenced earlier. We should support bond programs and other state and federal legislation that will direct major funding into transportation public works. Investment of such additional resources in transportation would provide a dual economic benefit--immediate jobs creation plus long range assistance by opening up economic development opportunities. Let's invest in America's -future! Let's invest in ContraCosta -Countv*s future! We have wars to fight and win here at home against unemployment, illiteracy, crime, homelessness, , poor health and diseasel We need to support creative, massive and long-range investment in both our physical infrastructure and in our human services "infrastructure.

As noted in the attached, and despite severe budget restrictions, we remain committed to continuing support for community-county cooperative efforts. WER:mg CONTRA COSTA WORKS Participation by Contra Costa County Sheriff 's Department GOAL: INCREASED EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY TARGET: Education and Training 1. CIVILIANIZATION. Over the past four years, the Sheriff and Board of Supervisors have worked to decrease the cost of government while providing new opportunities for employment in the department. Prior to the budget reductions of 1992, over 50 Specialist and Aide positions have been created and filled. The great majority of these jobs have been filled by underemployed persons in our own community compared with (traditionally) only 50% of sworn peace officer jobs being filled by local candidates. Thus this program has created a shift in jobs available to our own residents. 2. CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. Over the past five years, the Sheriff 's Department has been perhaps the most supportive department in the county with regard to providing jobs for residents through this unique program. At one point we had a significant number of Career Development Aides, Spebialists; and clerks who had been offered this special county opportunity. Even more significantly, working through the Contra Costa County Black Chamber of Commerce, the Sheriff has financially supported job training programs for the underemployed in west county. In one recent year, as part of a cooperative effort, the Sheriff presented the Black Chamber with a check for $21,000 direct funding support. In the same vein, the opening of a $50 million correctional facility in Richmond provided the opportunity for a close working relationship between the Sheriff's Dept. and community leaders. Much of the cooperation centered around the creation and identification of jobs at the Detention facility which could be filled by west county residents/applicants. Staffing of the West County Detention Facility was accomplished through a variety of recruitment and selection strategies. The facility opened in June 1991 with a truly representative staff mirroring the cultural and ethnic diversity of our neighborhoods. 3. LOCAL JOB FAIRS. our minority recruitment officer(s) has prioritized recruitment efforts in our own community. One of our more original (and successful) efforts has been a local Contra Costa County Law Enforcement Job Fair at Diablo Valley College. This fair was begun in 1990 with a 2nd fair in 1991. On each occasion over 1000 local job seekers were attracted to the fair. Our theory is to invest in the talents of our own community and promote law enforcement among our citizens. 4. DETENTION ADULT EDUCATION. The Adult Education program offered by the office of Education and sponsored by the Sheriff was implemented in 1979. There are three schools within this system (one at each facility) , all serving resident adult inmates awaiting a hearing or serving a . sentence. There are 33 teachers delivering individual and small group instruction to the students in subjects such as GED preparation, basic high school subjects, employment, and computer literacy. These are truly the county's most needy students; 50-60% . of the jail population are unable to read or write. In addition to the above instruction, literacy tutors are available through Project Second Chance. 5. THE DEUCE PROGRAM. The DEUCE Program is a voluntary, residential alcohol and substance abuse program developed and jointly sponsored by the Sheriff 's Department and County Office of Education for the Contra Costa County jail system. The program began in 1986 and is designed to reduce the high rate of recidivism among drunk drivers and dual/poly addicted male and female inmates. Applicants are screened and those selected for parXicipation are assessed for treatment goals, receive a literacy screening, and employment interest evaluation. There are almost 200 inmates currently in the program, which is .*offered at MCDF and WCDF. Inmates in the program move across three 30 day phases and participate in structured programs patterned after other social model treatment programs. A Master's Thesis study of Project Deuce indicated that there was a 70% reduction in inmate violence and confrontations within the Detention facilities for DEUCE participants. Additionally, the recidivism rate of the DEUCE program participants was approximately half the rate of a matched 11contkoll, group. 6. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. The Detention Division also offers a series of vocational education programs for inmates assigned to our facilities. Currently, programs to teach landscape skills, firefighting, and computer technology are in operation at our facilities. In addition, inmates assigned as Trustees at our facilities are given .responsibilities ranging from kitchen and laundry to custodial duties. While not teaching specific vocational skills, the inmates learn work ethic and practice work habit skills which are essential to future employment. 6. DARE. DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a drug abuse prevention education program designed to equip elementary school children with skills for resisting peer pressure to experiment with drugs. The program utilizes uniformed law enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to classroom students Our program in Contra Costa County is in conjunction with a Federal Grant through the Office of Criminal Justice Planning. We have two Deputy Sheriffs working in the DARE Program in east county, and two officers in North Richmond as part of Project Pride in conjunction with our contract for ' police services with the Federal Housing Authority. DARE represents the best elements of community policing and education/prevention programs, and provides a long term solution to a problem that has developed over many years.

Hamm Senior Housing Plan er SUBJECT: :r Contra Costa Works - Supervisor Torlakson Initiative Per your request, the following information is provided relative to the categories specified in the discussion outline attached to May 22, 1992 memorandum from Sara Hoffman: Target: Economic Development Activities Programs and projects which include the rehabilitation and new construction of affordable housing contribute to economic development directly through job creation and indirectly by providing a.more favorable business climate. Housing programs administered by the Community Development Department include the following: 0 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) - Provides resources for the acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of single and multifamily housing affordable to very-low and low-income households earning 80 percent or less of area median income (AMI). FY 1992 allocation process initiated in October 1992, with recommendations to Board of Supervisors in February 1993. FY 1992 funding level: $1.6 million. Estimated funding level for FY 1993: $1 million. 0 Community Development Block Grant Program - Thirty-two percent of the annual CDBG allocation is used for housing projects. CDBG funds provide resources for: the acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of multifamily housing affordable to lower income households (earning 80 percent or less of AMI) and special needs populations (elderly, mentally/physically disabled populations, recovering drug/alcohol abusers, battered women and children, farmworkers); homeowner rehabilitation, first-time homebuyers assistance, and new construction of single family homes affordable to lower income households; and emergency and transitional housing for homeless populations. In combination with housing, the CDBG program provides resources for support services to homeless populations (e.g. , employment counseling and training, job referral, drug/alcohol abuse and mental health counseling) which are intended to improve the ability of this population to achieve economic independence. In addition to specific projects approved in the regular funding cycle, 15 percent of the annual CDBG allocation is set • aside in the Housing Development Assistance Fund for use in funding projects as they develop during the program year. CDBG FY 1992 housing allocation: $1.2 million. Projects funded include rental housing rehabilitation, owner-occupied housing rehabilitation, a 20-unit long-term supportive housing project for mental health clients In Central County, and a 102-unit sweat-equity project for very-low and low-income households in East County. FY 1992 HDAF allocation: $0.5 million. Projects funded from this source: a 104-unit townhome project in East County; the Shell Avenue Emergency Shelter for homeless women and their families located in Central County; and single/multifamily housing rehabilitation in West County. CDBG FY 1993 housing allocation (estimate): $1.2 million. Projects under consideration include: rental and homeowner rehabilitation; acquisitionof group home for abused and neglected youth; senior housing (new construction); multifamily housing (new construction); acquisition of group home for mentally disabled persons; acquisition; acquisition and rehabilitation of a multifamily property for use as transitional housing for homeless individuals and families; acquisition of a site to support new construction of single family homes combined with first-time homebuyers'assistance for lower income households. FY 1992 HDAF allocation (estimate): $0.6 million. I assume you will include the MRB and MCC programs. kh/kl/TT r n .r. M pZ.

The level of funding availible through the Community Development Block Grant program for the projects listed below, is comparable to having to fight the Oakland hills fire with a garden hose. None the less, these agencies do the very best they can with the limited resources made available to them. 1) Homecare -Workers Training/registry. Family and Community Services of Contra Costa County. This project creates homecare worker positions in the community and trains and places low-income persons into those positions. 2) Loan Marketing and Packacring/revolvinct Loan fund, Pacific Community - Services, Inc. / Pittsburg Economic/Housing Pevelopment Corporation. This program provides assistance in developing Small Business Administration small business loans and gap financing from a revolving fund that assist businesses to grow and to create job for low to moderate income people. The program also provides start-up business loans. 3) Business Management Assistance Program. Contra Costa County Private -Industry - Council. This program provides technical assistance and management counseling to small start-up or expanding businesses service lower income areas. 4) Building Bridaes: Homeless/Disabled and Jobs, Rubicon Programs. This project creates jobs within businesses owned and operated by Rubicon and in the neighboring West County communities. Rubicon places trained homeless/disabled persons in those newly created positions. 5) Education and Employment outreach Program- Neighborhood House of North Richmond. This program will train and place disadvantaged youths in existing employment opportunities in Contra Costa County. 6) Reading Training for Learning Disabled Adults, The Active Reading Clinic. This program makes reading training services to available to low-income, learning disabled, and illiterate adults through the Urban County. 7) New American SuPDort Services, Center for New Americans. This program assists immigrants in coping with the problems of assimilating into the American culture. 8) independent Living and Housing Advocate.

The Social Service Department prepared a similar analysis for programs provided in North Richmond. You may find their format useful in preparing your information (see attached sample). For the convenience of the departments, 1 have synthesized the concept paper into a matrix of three target areas with specific program areas identified in the issue paper. Please identify current services and programs which fan into these categories, modifications which could be made to strengthen such programs and proposals for new services or programs in the area. Your response no later than June 26, 1992 would be appreciated. Please call me at 6-1390 if you have any questions or concerns. cc: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Supervisor Tom Powers Tony Enea Distribution: Public Works Social Service Private Industry Council Community Services Redevelopment Agency Health Department Probation Department Sheriff-Coroner 00o CD 1 N Vo 0 Dti N N cD CD 110 C: r 0 0 (� N• m °' „ to tD C {ti 60 0CD m m W o •� o ...o cD (D .c CD w CD ow CD CD p Sv -n N p n r 0 cn O 0- .'ft a ti N C1 G .► t9 u r •` p �} v' p ? to m 't3 'fir .Ty p 'D ? t9 o ET N n 4 'fl Q o a tL•-10 O cr D ILO (D .p O n 3 N O n 3 c N CZ 3 rG rn tTi N fn .

Due to changed federal regulations, we are no longer able to use DTPA funds for direct economic development programs. We do have a modest counseling program for small business that is funded through County CDBG funds. Several years ago the PIC advocated that a significant level of CDBG funds be targeted to Economic Development, to which the Board of Supervisors gave conceptional agreement. Unfortunately, only a small number of economic development proposals have been submitted, and even fewer funded. The CDBG Commission and Board may wish to revisit this issue and study how CDBG funds might be utilized to stimulate job growth to benefit low to moderate income residents of the County CDBG service area. In general, we do not provide basic education. Applicants that need basic education to become employable are referred to the local adult education school. We do receive a small state grant (8% + SDE match) which by regulation can only be used for GAIN participants. In close coordination with Social Services, we provide tutoring to GAIN participants to raise their competency to a level that allows them to be enrolled in the remedial education component of the County GAIN Program. Occasionally there are opportunities for us to apply for special grants. Often, however, these grants require non-federal matching funds. Since we have no non federal funds and have never received any encouragement from your office or the Board to request them, we have refrained from pursuing those grants requiring a County general fund match. It is unclear if the new County emphasis includes the possibility of providing matching funds for new initiatives. If so, please let us know.

Hollingsworth, Design H. Ballenger, Road Engineering PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT CONTRA COSTA COUNTY DATE: January 22, 1992- TO: Tony Enea, Office of County Administrator FROM: Maurice M. Shiu, Assistant Public Works Director, Road Engineering SUBJECT. Projects ready for advertisement and waiting for funds. This is in response to your request to develop a list of projects that have received Federal approval and can be advertised immediately if funds were available. Since all federally funded projects have to be on the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) of the Metropolitan Planning Organization, in our area the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), before final approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is given, and since only the projec:s that have Federal funding programmed will appear in the TIP, the two conditions in your request are mutually exclusive. In other words projects that have received Federal approval already have funds programmed and will be funded out of the newly passed Transportation bill, unless the intent of the survey is to find out whether the Congress can quickly put money in the economy by drawing down the Federal highway funds in the trust account- I believe the intent of the survey is to find out if the local government can quickly develop public works projects and jump-start the economy. Our Department feels confident that we can advertise all the projects on the attached list within three months of authorization, provided the funds will come directly to us without State scrutiny, and the Federal process is not overwhelmed by requests from local governments. The State/Local Partnership Program which provides State match to certain local transportation projects is a good example of how funds can be quickly put in the hands of local governments to be spent in public works projects. Listed below is a more liberal interpretation of NACO's request. List 1 indicates projects ects that were nominated for Federal funds at one time, have received Federal environmental c!earance and can be advertised within three months. List 2 shows projects that are about to receive environmental clearance, have a reasonable chance of meeting all Federal requirements and can be advertised within three months. List 3 indicates the projects that typically will receive hlanket approval from the FHWA, will be considered as categorical exclusion projects un oer the national Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and can be advertised within three months. r Tony Enea, Office of County Administrator January 22, 1992 Page 2 _ To compile the list we only showed the projects on federal aid routes. list 3 could be expanded greatly to take into account non-federal aid routes. The total cost estimate that we can put out to contract is $83.190,000.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson '� _ Costa September 14, 1993 County#`'s' OATS: REQUEST DIRECTOR OF GEMDA AND DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS iuSJECT: DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP MITIGATION PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTS IMPACTED BY EVORA ROAD PROJECT IN BAY POINT 00 SPECIFIC IIEOUE$7151 OR RECOMMENDATION(S)i BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS: Request Val Alexeeff, Director of the Growth and Economic Development Management Agency and Mike Walford, Director of the Public Works Department to implement the following recommendations: (1) Identify reasonable mitigation for Pomo Street slope easement. (2) In conjunction with the Transportation Authority and the City of Pittsburg develop a landscaping plan concept for the entire area of the Willow Pass Grade project including Willow Pass Road and the Bailey Road interchange. (3) Develop guidelines and standards for these projects . (4) Develop a request for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to join in this process and fund improvements. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Evora Road is in the process of being restripped for three lanes of traffic, two lanes west bound and one lane eastbound. The new freeway west-bound on-ramp will be relocated on Evora Road 400 feet east of St. Topaz Drive. The construction necessary to make these changes, that in the long run will greatly improve traffic movement in the Willow Pass Road corridor, has directly impacted the neighborhoods along Evora Road. According to residents on Pomo Court and other streets adjoining the project, as a result of this project, there have been significant changes in noise, traffic and the overall quality of life in their neighborhood.

Bob Faraone from our Public Works Department, staff from CALTRANS and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority as well as BART district staff have had many subsequent meetings. As a result of those meetings, we agreed that we would try to find an appropriate mitigation for the elevation impact to those directly impacted by the Evora Road project. We also agreed that a comprehensive landscaping plan needed to be developed and implemented for he Route 4 project. Landscaping in urbanized areas is critical to mitigate the visual impact of the new freeway and provide an esthetically satisfying neighbor for local residents .
