RECOMMENDATION(S):
Contra Costa County Election Division will present an elections update, including information about the new
Regional Early Voting sites and the 2016 Sample Ballot Photo Contest.(Joe Canciamilla, Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of
Voters)
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
2016 has already been busy for the Contra Costa Elections team, as we are now about a little over a month away
from the June 7th primary election.
Our office is sending out Voter Information Guides this week to about 540,000 registered voters in the county. We
also continue to teach classes for those residents who plan to volunteer at polling places on Election Day.
The Elections Office is also teaming up with the League of Women Voters from Diablo Valley and West County and
the folks at CCTV to broadcast its Election Preview candidate roundtables. Those will be available on the county
Website and Contra Costa Elections YouTube page in early May. Preparation is underway for vote-by-mail ballots to
be sent out to voters on May 9th. Those voters can vote whenever they want, but their envelope must be postmarked
by Election Day. One new program that the Elections Office is excited about is called Regional Early Voting.
Starting May 31st, Contra Costa residents will be able to vote a week in advance of Election Day at any

April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 18
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On March 29, 2016, the Board granted conceptual approval for a June 28, 2016, ballot measure seeking approval
of a special tax to fund an increase in the level of police protection services that is provided in the Bay Point area
of the County.
On March 29, 2016, the Board approved Resolution No. 2016/129, as required by Government Code Section
25217, subdivision (b), as the first step in forming a new zone within County Service Area (CSA) P-6. The
proposed zone would serve as the vehicle to collect special taxes within the proposed zone if a special tax measure
is approved by voters on June 28, 2016.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 25217.1, subdivision (a), at the public hearing, the Board is required to hear
and consider any protests to the formation of the zone. Pursuant to Government Code Section 25217.1,
subdivision (b)(1), in the case of inhabited territory, if at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board
determines that more than 50 percent of the total number of voters residing within the proposed zone have filed
written objections to the formation, then the Board shall determine that a majority protest exists and terminate the
proceedings.
If there is no majority protest, the Board may continue the proceedings to form the zone by adopting Resolution
No. 2016/320, which would establish Zone 212 subject to voter approval of the special tax. A separate hearing is
also scheduled for April 26, 2016, to consider the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the levy of the tax.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Zone 212 would not be formed and the subdivider would be unable to comply with the conditions of approval of
the project. The subdivider would be unable to record the final map for the subdivision.

ELECTION TO OBTAIN VOTER APPROVAL (DISTRICT V)
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 25
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On March 29, 2016, the Board approved Resolution No. 2016/129, as required by Government Code Section
25217, subdivision (b), as the first step in forming a new zone within County Service Area (CSA) P-6 in the Bay
Point area of the County. The proposed zone would serve as the vehicle to collect special taxes within the
boundaries of the zone if a special tax measure is approved by registered voters within the zone area at the June
28, 2016, election.
The Board is scheduled to conduct a separate hearing on April 26, 2016, on the formation of the proposed zone. If
the Board determines there is no majority protest to the formation of this new zone, and if the Board adopts
Resolution No. 2016/320, establishing CSA P-6, Zone 212 subject to voter approval of the special tax, the next
step in the process is the hearing on the adoption of a special tax ordinance, the adoption of that ordinance and
adoption of a resolution submitting the tax measure to the voters.
In this action, the Board is asked to conduct the hearing on, and adopt, the special tax ordinance (Ordinance No.
2016-07), which would authorize the levy of a special tax for police protection services on all taxable parcels in
the area of Zone 212 if a special tax ballot measure is approved by a two-thirds majority of the registered voters in
the zone area. Resolution No. 2016/321, the adoption of which is also recommended, sets forth appropriate ballot
language, directs the County Clerk, Elections Division, to conduct the aforementioned election as part of the June
28, 2016, election, and supplies appropriate ballot language.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The project developer would be unable to comply with the conditions of approval for the project. The developer
would be unable to record the final map for the subdivision.

ARCHIVED RESOLUTIONApril 26, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors42
RECOMMENDATION(S):
RECEIVE update on the status of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's (Authority) development of a
Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) for a possible sales tax measure in 2016, and CONSIDER actions necessary
to communicate Board of Supervisors’ input on the TEP to the Authority.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. The recommendation addresses an outside agency's actions.
BACKGROUND:
As established in both the October 21, 2014 and November 3, 2015 letters to the Authority regarding the
Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP), the Board of Supervisors (BOS) has not yet endorsed the proposed
transportation sales tax. That broader issue will be addressed at a future meeting of the BOS.
Reports on this issue have been brought to previous BOS meetings. The intent of this report is to provide an update
on the subject effort. For background information please reference the last two detailed reports to the BOS:

Recent Events
Since the last update to the BOS in March the TEP development process is moving ahead rapidly. The Authority
has been convening their Special TEP Board meetings on an almost weekly basis. The County has been
represented by Supervisors Glover, Mitchoff, and Andersen (as alternate). The TEP is being updated based on
input from the Expenditure Plan Advisory Committee, the Regional Transportation Planning Committees, and the
Authority Board.
March 8th: The BOS reviewed TEP Initial Draft version 1.1.
March 29 th: TEP Initial Draft Version 2.1 is reviewed at the Authority Special TEP Meeting.
April 6th: TEP Initial Draft Version 2.2 is reviewed and discussed at the April 6th Authority Special TEP
Meeting. Notable at this meeting was the substantial verbal and written testimony from various interest groups
including the following:
Letter and presentation from the East Bay Leadership Council, Bay Area Council, and the Building Industry
Association: Attachment 2: Bus-Econ-Dev-TEPcomments
Letter and handout from Save Mount Diablo, Greenbelt Alliance, and Bike East Bay: Attachment 3:
Bike-Env-TEPcomments+handout
Letter from Public Advocates and TRANSDEF: Attachment 4: TRANSDEF - Public Advocates.pdf
East county residents testifying in support of TriLink/239 and the Vasco-Byron Connector Road
Advocates for increased bicycle transportation spending including representation from Bike Concord, Bike
Walnut Creek and Bike East Bay.
April 8: DRAFT Transportation Expenditure Plan "Version 4-8-16" (Attachment 1) is released by the Authority.
April 20: TEP Version 4-8-16 was reviewed by the Authority Board.
The consultant to the process distributed a memo that proposed revisions to the 4-8-16 TEP, Attachment 5:
4-20-16 CCTA Handout Gray, Bowen, Scott Memo
Also distributed was information from the City of Brentwood, Attachment 6: Brentwood's Vision for Open Space,
Farming, and Agriculture.
Next Steps - Schedule: A detailed schedule for BOS, City, and Authority review of the TEP will be presented by
staff at the April 26 BOS meeting.
Update
Below are comments from staff regarding changes of note seen in the current TEP version (Attachment 1) from
earlier TEP versions. General comments are immediately below with page by page comments following.
General Comments
Term of the Measure: Recent dialog at the Regional Transportation Planning Committees include
discussion of extending the proposed tax measure from the currently proposed 25 years to 30 in order to
generate additional revenue. That proposal was also included in the 4-20-16 memo from the Authority's
consultant on the TEP, Gray, Bowen, Scott.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 44
consultant on the TEP, Gray, Bowen, Scott.
Project Listings: Early versions of the TEP included extensive transportation project lists provided by
Authority member agencies, transit districts, etc. More recent versions of the TEP have removed the project
listings. Removing the project list is to increase flexibility, which some believe is important because of 1)
rapid changes in mobility related technology combined with the fact that 2) we are working with a 25-30
year time span.
Page 4 of 34
Advance Mitigation Program: The Advance Mitigation Program was removed as a standalone category. The
program continues in that capital programs are listed as "Advance Mitigation Program eligible". This program is
discussed in more detail below.
Page 6 of 34: Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements (LSM): Not shown in the redline/strikeout is the
deletion of the phrase, "...and to comply with the GMP requirements." seen in previous TEP versions. The intent
of this revision was to restrict the use of the funds to maintenance.
County staff prefers to retain the flexibility in the current Measure J but can work with the proposed restriction.
Currently, LSM funds are eligible for use on any project or activity authorized under Measure J. These projects
and activities include maintenance in addition to matching grants for capital projects and to implement complete
streets.
Staff continues to be concerned with the amount of funding being provided for local streets in the TEP relative to
deferred maintenance levels. The recent drop in gas tax revenue and storm related damage to roads and road
related, non-pavement infrastructure have substantially magnified concerns. In addition, County staff will work
with the authority to ensure the definition of maintenance includes the well-documented funding need for
road-related, non-pavement infrastructure including but not limited to signage, lighting, water conveyance
infrastructure, pavement delineation, traffic signals, environmental mitigation, guardrails, vegetation, storm
damage, traffic control devices, ADA obligations, and road maintenance equipment.
Page 7 of 34
Complete Streets: Not seen in redline strikeout but new since the March 8th BOS review, is the following
language:
"20% of the program funding will be allocated to four Complete Streets demonstration projects within five years
of the Measure’s passage, one in each subregion, recommended by the relevant RTPC and approved by Authority,
to demonstrate the successful implementation of Complete Streets projects. Demonstration projects will be
required to strongly pursue the use of separated bike lane facilities in demonstration project program. The
purpose of these demonstration projects is to create examples of successful complete street projects in multiple
situations throughout the county."
How these four demonstration projects will be selected is currently unknown.
Page 7 of 34
BART Capacity, Access, and Parking: As seen in the attached draft, there have been substantial revisions to this
category to clarify the intent of the program, ensure participation from other funding partners, and to define the use
of the funds in the event the planned BART car purchase is not successful. A date certain is set (December
31,2026) for the regional funding approach to be established.
County staff recommendation: The BOS may wish to consider, in addition to the deadline of a single date,
interim milestone requirements or targets to demonstrate progress towards the regional funding solution.
Page 9 of 34
East County Corridor (Vasco Rd and/or Byron Highway Corridors): Significant changes were made to this
category since the last BOS review, revised/added text is shown below. These changes were made to:
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 45
Prioritize the Vasco Road/Byron Highway connector portion of the Tri-Link program of projects.
Provide additional mitigation detail.
Language was also added to make ineligible the use of funds for new roadways on new alignments.
Prioritization of Byron Highway/Vasco Road Connector
"For the Byron Highway (TriLink) corridor, the Authority shall prioritize funding for the design and
construction of a new 2-lane limited access Byron Highway / Vasco Road connector south of Camino
Diablo Road improving access to the Byron Airport,"
Environmental Mitigation
"Prior to the use of any local sales tax funds to implement capacity improvements to either or both of these
corridors, the Authority must find that the project includes measures to prevent growth outside of the Urban
Limit Lines (ULL). Such measures might include, but are not necessarily limited to, limits on roadway
access in areas outside the ULL, purchase of abutters’ rights of access, preservation of critical habitat
and/or the permanent protection / acquisition of agricultural and open space."
Limitation on Use of Funds
"With the exception of the new connection between Vasco Road, the Byron Airport and the Byron Highway,
funding from this category is not intended to be used for the construction of new roadways on new
alignments"
Page 10 of 34
Bus Transit and Other Non-Rail Transit: The term “bus transit” was added to make explicit that conventional
busses were eligible for funds. Additional detail was added to clarify the use of the funds (fare offsets, alternative
non-rail transportation, etc) and how the program would be administered, (input from Regional Transportation
Planning Committees, etc).
Of note to the BOS is the removal of the language, “Recipients of funding under this category are required to
participate in the development of the Accessible Transportation Services Strategic Plan included in Category 13 -
Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities.” from this programs description. In order to ensure
implementation of accessible transit recommendations, the BOS requested this requirement be included relative to
all transit funding. The requirement still exists under the Transportation for Seniors & People with Disabilities
category.
Page 11 of 34
Transportation for Seniors & People With Disabilities: Detail was added to respond to questions from the 3-29
Authority meeting regarding the conduct of the Accessible Transit Strategic (ATS) Plan.
Also included is a requirement that the study be adopted within 12 months of the passage of the sales tax
Measure. In order to meet this deadline the study will likely need to be substantially expedited. Supervisor Karen
Mitchoff at a recent Authority Board meeting suggested that the study move ahead prior to the Measure going to
the voters. Staff has been investigating this option.
Page 11 of 34
Safe Transportation for Children: Detail was added to include Authority establishment of guidelines and
priorities.
Page 12 of 34
Community Development Transportation Program: This is the renamed, “Community Development Incentive
Program” largely unchanged since the early versions of the TEP with some exceptions detailed below. This
program was, in part, developed in response to BOS comments regarding a program to address “…the need for
economic development and balancing jobs and housing to make more efficient use of our transportation
infrastructure.”
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 46
Details on how the program will be administered will be developed at a later date. The 4/20/16 memo from Gray,
Bowen, Scott proposes to: 1) reduce the funding from 6% to 3%, 2) allow funds to be used as match for state
Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities grants and 3) to merge the program with the existing
Transportation for Livable Communities Program in Measure J (5% of Measure J revenues). These two programs
have similar goals and would allow the Authority to focus a more significant amount of resources on the
combined, restructured program.
Staff recommended revisions:
Funds from this category will be used implement this new Community Development Transportation Program,
administered by the Authority’s Regional Transportation Planning Committees (RTPC’s). Funds will be allocated
on a competitive basis to transportation projects or programs that promote economic development, job creation
(targeting high job multiplier)and/or housing within established (or planned) transit supportive community
centers. Project sponsors must demonstrate that at least 20% of the project is funded from other than local
transportation sales tax revenue and the Authority will prioritize funding to projects that demonstrate over 50%
funding from other sources. Additional priority will be given to projects where the sponsor can demonstrate that
the project supports and facilitates development of housing for all income levels or supports creating jobs in
areas with a deficit of proximate, well paying employment opportunities. Working with the RTPCs, the Authority
will prepare guidelines and establish overall criteria for the program including the recognition of localized
jobs/housing imbalances and the consequential impacts, including: imbalanced and excessive commute times;
quality of life, higher vehicle miles traveled/greenhouse gas and; under-utilized transportation infrastructure.
Page 13 of 34
Innovative Transportation Technology / Connected Communities Program
County staff comment: Potentially, this program could be subsumed in to other relevant programs similar to how
the Advanced Mitigation Program was handled. In theory, all of the various programs and projects could have
technology components. Expenditures fitting this category could be eligible under each relevant category.
Page 14 of 34
Regional Transportation Priorities: This is a catch-all program that was included to provide some ongoing
flexibility in the funding program. Eligible expenditures include any project or program eligible under the entire
measure.
The Growth Management Program
Page 16 of 34
Address Housing Options: Housing staff has commented that these requirements would be duplicative and
already being met by submitting the "Annual Element Progress Report: Housing Element Implementation"
(California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Section 6202).
Page 20 of 34
Urban Limit Line: Since the last BOS review, this program has undergone substantial discussion and revisions at
the Authority. Of particular note see the following changes/additions below:
4 . Local jurisdictions may, without voter approval, enact a Minor Adjustments to their applicable ULL subject to
a vote of at least 4/5 of the jurisdiction’s legislative body and the following requirements:
a. Minor adjustment may include one or several parts that in total shall not exceed 30 acres;
b . Adoption of at least one of the findings listed in the County’s Measure L (§82- 1.018 of County
Ordinances 2006-06 § 3, 91-1 § 2, 90-66 § 4);
c. The Minor Adjustment is not contiguous to one or more non-voter approved Minor Adjustments that in
total exceed 30 acres;
d . The Minor Adjustment does not create a pocket of land outside the existing urban limit line, specifically
to avoid the possibility of a jurisdiction wanting to fill in those subsequently through separate adjustments;
e. If the local jurisdiction is a City or a Town, then that City or Town shall not have approved another
Minor Adjustment without voter approval in the previous 5 years. If the local jurisdiction is the County, then
the County shall not approve more than 3 Minor Adjustments in any 5 year period and no more than 1 per
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 47
subregion of the County.
…
These conditions shall replace the conditions regarding the ULL outlined in Measure J.
These changes were made to ensure consistency in ULL requirements throughout the County and be responsive to
concerns of the environmental community. At the April 20th Authority meeting, the consultant recommended
removal of the cap on the number of non-voter approved amendments to the ULL.
Page 25 of 34
Advance Mitigation Program: This program was the subject of substantial dialog at the March 29th Authority
Special TEP meeting. In response to questions about the program, Authority staff included a report in the April
7 th Authority Board packet (Attachment 7), “Development of a Potential Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP)
– Consideration to Adopt a Policy to Include an Advance Mitigation Program in the Draft TEP” and included the
revised text seen in the attachment.
Because this program is related to the ongoing, regional effort being conducted by the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, the specific policy will be developed after the passage of the measure. Due to the
somewhat unknown nature of the MTC program, and by extension the Authority's program, a contingency policy
is provided, "If this approach (advance mitigation) cannot be fully implemented, then the identified funds shall be
used for environmental mitigation purposes on a project by project basis."
Page 30 of 34
Performance Audits: This existing requirement has been substantially expanded in the draft TEP. The impact on
programs is unknown at this time as the performance criteria are to be established by the Authority at a later date.
"Performance Audits: The following funding categories shall be subject to performance audits by the Authority:
Local Streets Maintenance and Improvements (No. 1), Major Streets/Complete Streets/Traffic Signal
Synchronization Program (No. 2), Advance Mitigation Program (No. 11), Bus Transit and Other Non-Rail Transit
Enhancements (No. 12), Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities (No. 13), Safe Transportation for
Children (No. 14), Intercity Rail and Ferry Service (No. 15), Pedestrian and Bicycle, and Trail Facilities (No. 16),
Community Development Transportation Program (No. 17), and Innovative Transportation Technology /
Connected Communities Program (No. 18).
Each year, the Authority shall select and perform a focused performance audit on two or three of the funding
categories listed above, so that at the end of the fourth year all funding categories listed above are audited. . This
process shall commence two years after passage of the new sales tax measure. Additional Performance Audits
shall continue on a similar cycle for the duration of the Plan. The performance audits shall provide an accurate
quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the funding categories to determine the effectiveness in meeting the
performance criteria established by the Authority. In the event that any performance audit determines that a
funding category is not meeting the performance requirements established by the Authority, the audit shall include
recommendations for corrective action including but not limited to revisions to Authority policies or program
guidelines that govern the expenditure of funds."
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If direction is not provided to the County’s Authority Board representatives or staff, the County may forego an
opportunity to provide input on the development of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s Transportation
Expenditure Plan.

Preface
This Sales Tax Augmentation promotes a healthy environment and strong economy that will
benefit all Contra Costa residents through: 1) enhancing a balanced, safe and efficient
transportation network; 2) facilitating cooperative planning among the regions of Contra Costa
County and with surrounding counties, and 3) managing growth and sustaining the environment.
The Sales Tax Augmentation helps to build and operate a transportation network that includes all
transportation modes used by Contra Costa residents.
To achieve this vision, the Sales Tax Augmentation enhances our ability to achieve six goals that
are embodied in the current work of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
1. Support the efficient, safe, and reliable movement of people and goods using all available
transportation modes
2. Maintain the current transportation system
3. Influence how growth occurs to build Contra Costa’s economy, preserve our
environment, and support local communities;
4. Expand safe, convenient and affordable alternatives to the single occupant vehicle;
5. Promote environmental sustainability;
6. Invest wisely to maximize the benefits of available funding.

TABLE OF EXPENDITURE PLAN ALLOCATIONS
Notes
• Draft TEP does not reallocate funding between Funding Category 1 and Funding Category 2,
pending reconsideration by WCCTAC
• Community Development Transportation Program is a new category. It is intended for
transportation projects or programs that promote economic development, job creation and
housing (see details on following pages).
• There are four subregions within Contra Costa: Central, West, Southwest and East County each
represented by a Regional Transportation Planning Commission (RTPC). Central County
(TRANSPAC subregion) includes Clayton, Concord, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek and
the unincorporated portions of Central County. West County (WCCTAC subregion) includes El
Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond, San Pablo and the unincorporated portions of West
County. Southwest County (SWAT subregion) includes Danville, Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, San
Ramon and the unincorporated portions of Southwest County. East County (TRANSPLAN
subregion) includes Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley, Pittsburg and the unincorporated portions of
East County. The above projects and programs are necessary to address current and future
transportation needs in Contra Costa. The proposed funding allocation represents “fair share”
distribution based on proportional share of population in year 2030 by subregion.

Detailed Descriptions of Funding Categories
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (Authority) is responsible for maintaining and
improving the county’s transportation system by planning, funding, and delivering critical
transportation infrastructure projects and programs. The funding categories detailed below will
provide needed improvements to connect our communities, foster a strong economy, increase
sustainability, and safely and efficiently get people where they need to go.
Funding Categories
1. Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements ----- 23.1% ($540m)
Funds from this category will fund maintenance and improvement projects on local
streets and roads and may be used for any eligible transportation purposes as defined
under the Act. The Authority will distribute 23.1 percent of the annual sales tax
revenues to all local jurisdictions with a base allocation of $100,000 for each
jurisdiction, the balance will be distributed based 50 percent on relative population
and 50 percent on road miles for each jurisdiction, subject to compliance with the
Authority’s reporting, audit and GMP requirements. Population figures used shall be
the most current available from the State Department of Finance. Road mileage shall
be from the most current information included in the Highway Performance
Monitoring System (HPMS)
Funds shall be used by each jurisdiction to maintain and enhance existing roadway
and other transportation facilities. Jurisdictions shall comply with the Authority’s
Maintenance of Effort (MOE) policy as well as Implementation Guidelines of this
TEP. Local agencies will report on the use of these funds, such as the amount spent
on roadway maintenance, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit facilities, and other
roadway improvements.
1.a – Additional Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements ---- $17m
An additional $17m will be allocated to Central Contra Costa County jurisdictions
based on the formula of 50 percent on relative population and 50 percent on road
miles for each jurisdiction and subject to program requirements detailed above.
2. Major Streets/ Complete Streets/ Traffic Signal Synchronization Grant
Program ----- $200m
Funds from this category shall be used to fund improvements to major thoroughfares
throughout Contra Costa to improve the safe, efficient and reliable movement of

Advance Mitigation Program eligible project.
11. Bus Transit and Other Non-Rail Transit
Enhancements ---- 10.3% ($240m)
This category is intended to provide funding to existing bus transit operators and for
future non-rail transit service alternatives. Funding will be provided for bus transit
operations to increase or maintain ridership, including incentivizing transit use by
offsetting fares; and improve the frequency and capacity of high demand routes
connecting housing with job, commercial, transit, and medical centers. In addition,
funding can be used to support other non-rail transit services/projects that can
demonstrate innovative approaches to maximizing the movement of people efficiently
and in a manner that reduces VMT and GHG.
Funding will be allocated by the Authority throughout the County based on input from
each Regional Transportation Planning Committee and on performance criteria
established by the Authority in consultation with local and regional bus transit operators,
providers of alternate non-rail transportation, and stakeholders. Funding allocations will
be reviewed on a regular basis. Said performance criteria shall require a finding that any
proposed new or enhanced services demonstrate the ability to improve regional and/or
local mobility for Contra Costa residents. Funds may be used for transit capital projects
or to operate service improvements identified in the adopted plans of an operator or of the
Authority.
Guidelines will be established so that revenues will fund service enhancements in Contra
Costa. The guidelines may require provisions, such as: operational efficiencies requiring
greater coordination, promoting and developing a seamless service; increasing service
frequencies on appropriate routes; and specified performance criteria and reporting
requirements. Services funded in this program will be reviewed in accordance with
implementing guidelines described in this expenditure plan.
12. Transportation for Seniors & People With Disabilities ----- 3.3% ($78m)
Funding in this category is to support mobility opportunities for seniors and people
with disabilities who, due to age or disability, cannot drive or take other transit
options.
To ensure services are delivered in a coordinated system that maximizes both service
delivery and efficiency an Accessible Transportation Service (ATS) Strategic Plan
will be developed and periodically updated during the term of the measure. No
funding under this category will be allocated until the ATS Strategic Plan has been
developed and adopted. An overarching component in the development and delivery
of the ATS Strategic Plan is using mobility management to ensure coordination and
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 58
efficiencies in accessible service delivery. The plan will evaluate the appropriate
model for our local structure including how accessible services are delivered by all
agencies and where appropriate coordination can improve transportation services,
eliminate gaps in service and find efficiencies in the service delivered. The ATS
Strategic Plan would also determine the investments and oversight of the program
funding and identify timing, projects, service delivery options, administrative
structure, and fund leverage opportunities.
The ATS Strategic Plan will be developed by the Authority with participation from
publicly operated transit and paratransit providers and selected non-profit and citizen
stakeholders representing seniors and people with disabilities. Public transit
operators in Contra Costa must participate in the ATS planning process to be eligible
to receive funding in this category. The ATS Strategic Plan must be adopted within
12 months of the passage of this Measure.

existing capacity by incentives including offsetting fares or other methodologies may
also be considered. To the greatest degree possible, local funds generated by this
measure shall be used to leverage additional regional, state and/or federal funds for this
project. Any projects funded in this category will be evaluated by the Authority and
demonstrate progress toward the Authority’s goals of reducing VMT and green-
house gas reductions. Selection of final projects to be based on a performance analysis
of project alternatives consistent with Authority requirements. Sponsors of projects
requesting funding from this category will be required to demonstrate to the
Authority that sufficient funding is available to operate the proposed project and/or
service over a long period of time.
15. Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail Facilities ---- 2.9% ($67m)
Two-thirds of the funds from this program will be used implement projects in the
Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, consistent with the current Measure J program.
These funds will be allocated competitively to projects that improve safety for
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 59
pedestrians and bicyclists, serve the greatest number of users and significant
destinations, and remove missing segments and existing barriers to walking and
bicycling. The review process shall also consider project feasibility and readiness and
the differing needs of the sub-regions when identifying projects for funding. Funding
available through this program shall be primarily used for the construction,
maintenance, and safety or other improvements of bicycle, pedestrian and trail
projects. Design, project approval, right-of-way purchase and environmental
clearance may not be funded as part of a construction project. Planning to identify a
preferred alignment for major new bicycle, pedestrian or trail connections may also
be funded through this program.
One third of the funds are to be allocated to the East Bay Regional Park District
(EBRPD) for the development and rehabilitation of paved regional trails. EBRPD is
to spend its allocation proportionally in each sub-region, subject to the review and
approval of the applicable sub-regional committee, prior to funding allocation by the
Authority. The Authority in conjunction with EBRPD will develop a maintenance-
of-effort requirement for funds under this component of the funding category.
Consistent with the Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the complete streets
policy established in this expenditure plan, project sponsors receiving funding
through other funding categories in this Plan shall incorporate, whenever possible,
pedestrian, bicycle, and trail facilities into their projects.

GHG emissions, and (c) implement connected transportation solutions and integrate
this approach with other community services such as public safety, public services, water,
communications and energy to promote economic development and jobs opportunities by
increasing government efficiency and reducing consumption. Examples of eligible
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 60
projects include but are not limited to expanding opportunities for zero emission
vehicle charging; smart rideshare, carshare and bikeshare services; on-demand and
personal transit services that compliment traditional fixed-route transit; smart and
automated parking; intelligent, sensor-based infrastructure; smart payment systems; and
data sharing to improve mobility choices for all users. Projects are intended to
promote connectivity between all users of the transportation network (cars,
pedestrians, bikes, buses, trucks, etc.) and automation technologies that collectively
facilitate the transformation toward connected communities. Funding is intended to
match State, federal, or regional grants and private-sector investment to achieve
maximum benefits. By investing in these solutions Contra Costa County can become
a national model in sustainable, technology-enabled transportation.
A minimum of twenty-five percent shall be allocated to each sub-program (a, b and c
above) over the life of the measure. The Authority will prepare guidelines and establish
overall criteria for the Innovative Transportation Technology / Connected Communities

The Growth Management Program
Goals and Objectives
The overall goal of the Growth Management Program is to preserve and enhance the
quality of life and promote a healthy, strong economy to benefit the people and areas of
Contra Costa through a cooperative, multi-jurisdictional process for managing growth,
while maintaining local authority over land use decisions.1
The objectives of the Growth Management Program are to:
• Assure that new residential, business and commercial growth pays for the
facilities required to meet the demands resulting from that growth.
• Require cooperative transportation and land use planning among Contra Costa
County, cities, towns, and transportation agencies.
• Support land use patterns within Contra Costa that make more efficient use of the
transportation system, consistent with the General Plans of local jurisdictions.
• Support infill and redevelopment in existing urban and brownfield areas.
Components
To receive its share of Local Transportation Maintenance and Improvement funds and to
be eligible for Contra Costa Transportation for Livable Communities funds, each
jurisdiction must:
1. Adopt a Growth Management Element
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place, a Growth Management Element as part
of its General Plan that outlines the jurisdiction’s goals and policies for managing growth
and requirements for achieving those goals. The Growth Management Element must show
how the jurisdiction will comply with sections 2–7 below. The Authority will refine its
model Growth Management Element and administrative procedures in consultation with
the Regional Transportation Planning Committees to reflect the revised Growth
Management Program.
Each jurisdiction is encouraged to incorporate other standards and procedures into its
Growth Management Element to support the objectives and required components of this
Growth Management Program.
1 The Authority will, to the extent possible, attempt to harmonize the Growth Management and
the State-mandated Congestion Management Programs. To the extent they conflict, Congestion
Management Program Activities shall take precedence over Growth Management activities.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 62
2. Adopt a Development Mitigation Program
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place, a development mitigation program to
ensure that new growth is paying its share of the costs associated with that growth. This
program shall consist of both a local program to mitigate impacts on local streets and
other facilities and a regional program to fund regional and subregional transportation
projects, consistent with the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
The jurisdiction’s local development mitigation program shall ensure that revenue
provided from this measure shall not be used to replace private developer funding that
has or would have been committed to any project.
The regional development mitigation program shall establish fees, exactions, assessments
or other mitigation measures to fund regional or subregional transportation improvements
needed to mitigate the impacts of planned or forecast development. Regional mitigation
programs may adjust such fees, exactions, assessments or other mitigation measures
when developments are within walking distance of frequent transit service or are part of a
mixed-use development of sufficient density and with necessary facilities to support
greater levels of walking and bicycling. Each Regional Transportation Planning
Committee shall develop the regional development mitigation program for its region,
taking account of planned and forecast growth and the Multimodal Transportation
Service Objectives and actions to achieve them established in the Action Plans for Routes
of Regional Significance. Regional Transportation Planning Committees may use
existing regional mitigation programs, if consistent with this section, to comply with the
Growth Management Program.
3. Address Housing Options
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate reasonable progress in providing housing
opportunities for all income levels as part of a report on the implementation of the actions
outlined in its adopted Housing Element. The report will demonstrate progress by:
a. Comparing the number of housing units approved, constructed or occupied within
the jurisdiction over the preceding five years with the number of units needed on
average each year to meet the housing objectives established in the jurisdiction’s
Housing Element; or
b. Illustrating how the jurisdiction has adequately planned to meet the existing and
projected housing needs through the adoption of land use plans and regulatory
systems which provide opportunities for, and do not unduly constrain, housing
development; or
c. Illustrating how a jurisdiction’s General Plan and zoning regulations facilitate the
improvement and development of sufficient housing to meet those objectives.
In addition, each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and development
policies have on the local, regional and countywide transportation system, including the
level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be provided, and shall incorporate
policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit, bicycle
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 63
and pedestrian access in new developments.
4. Participate in an Ongoing C ooperative, M ulti-J urisdictional
P lanning P rocess.
Each jurisdiction shall participate in an ongoing process with other jurisdictions and
agencies, the Regional Transportation Planning Committees and the Authority to create a
balanced, safe and efficient transportation system and to manage the impacts of growth.
Jurisdictions shall work with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees to:
a. Identify Routes of Regional Significance, and establish Multimodal
Transportation Service Objectives for those routes and actions for achieving those
objectives.
b. Apply the Authority’s travel demand model and technical procedures to the
analysis of General Plan Amendments (GPAs) and developments exceeding
specified thresholds for their effect on the regional transportation system,
including on Action Plan objectives.
c. Create the development mitigation programs outlined in section 2 above.
d. Help develop other plans, programs and studies to address other transportation
and growth management issues.
In consultation with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees, each jurisdiction
will use the travel demand model to evaluate changes to local General Plans and the
impacts of major development projects for their effects on the local and regional
transportation system and the ability to achieve the Multimodal Transportation Service
Objectives established in the Action Plans.
Jurisdictions shall also participate in the Authority’s ongoing countywide comprehensive
transportation planning process. As part of this process, the Authority shall support
countywide and subregional planning efforts, including the Action Plans for Routes of
Regional Significance, and shall maintain a travel demand model. Jurisdictions shall help
maintain the Authority’s travel demand modeling system by providing information on
proposed improvements to the transportation system and planned and approved
development within the jurisdiction.
5. Continuously Comply with an Urban Limit Line (ULL)
In order to be found in compliance with this element of the Authority’s Growth
Management Program, all jurisdictions must continually comply with an applicable voter
approved Urban Limit Line (ULL). Said ULL may either be the Contra Costa County
voter approved ULL (County ULL) or a locally initiated, voter approved ULL (LV-
ULL).
Additional information and detailed compliance requirements for the ULL are fully
defined in the ULL Compliance Requirements, which are incorporated herein as
Attachment A.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 64

the Growth Management Program:
1. The submittal of an annexation request to LAFCO for lands outside of a
jurisdictions applicable ULL.
2. Failure to conform to the Authority’s ULL Compliance Requirements
(Attachment A).
6. Develop a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program
Each jurisdiction shall prepare and maintain a capital improvement program that outlines
the capital projects needed to implement the goals and policies of the jurisdiction’s
General Plan for at least the following five-year period. The Capital Improvement
Program shall include approved projects and an analysis of the costs of the proposed
projects as well as a financial plan for providing the improvements. The jurisdiction shall
forward the transportation component of its capital improvement program to the
Authority for incorporation into the Authority’s database of transportation projects.
7. Adopt a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Ordinance or
Resolution
To promote carpools, vanpools and park and ride lots, each jurisdiction shall adopt a local
ordinance or resolution that conforms to the model Transportation Systems Management
Ordinance that the Transportation Authority has drafted and adopted. Upon approval of
the Authority, cities with a small employment base may adopt alternative mitigation
measures in lieu of a TSM ordinance or resolution.
Allocation of Funds
Portions of the monies received from the retail transaction and use tax will be returned to
the local jurisdictions (the cities and the county) for use on local, subregional and/or
regional transportation improvements and maintenance projects. Receipt of all such funds
requires compliance with the Growth Management Program as described below. The
funds are to be distributed on a formula based on population and road miles.
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate its compliance with all of the components of the
Growth Management Program in a completed compliance checklist. The jurisdiction
shall submit, and the Authority shall review and make findings regarding the juris-
diction’s compliance with the requirements of the Growth Management Program,
consistent with the Authority’s adopted policies and procedures.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction complies with the requirements of the
Growth Management Program, it shall allocate to the jurisdiction its share of Local Street
Maintenance and Improvement funding (No. 1). Jurisdictions may use funds allocated
under this provision to comply with these administrative requirements.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction does not comply with the requirements of
the Growth Management Program, the Authority shall withhold those funds and also
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 65
make a finding that the jurisdiction shall not be eligible to receive Community
Development Transportation Program funds (No. 16) until the Authority determines the
jurisdiction has achieved compliance. The Authority’s findings of noncompliance may
set deadlines and conditions for achieving compliance.
Withholding of funds, reinstatement of compliance, reallocation of funds and treatment
of unallocated funds shall be as established in adopted Authority’s policies and
procedures.

Complete Streets Policy
Vision
This Plan envisions a transportation system in which each component provides safe, comfortable
and convenient access for every user allowed to use it. These users include pedestrians,
bicyclists, transit riders, automobile drivers and their passengers, and truckers, and people of
varying abilities, including children, seniors, people with disabilities and able-bodied adults. The
goal of every transportation project is to provide safer, more accessible facilities for all users and
shall be planned, designed, constructed and operated to take advantage of that opportunity.
By making streets more efficient and safe for all users, a complete streets approach will expand
capacity and improve mobility for all users, giving commuters convenient options for travel and
minimizing need to widen roadways.
Policy
To achieve this vision, all recipients of funding through this Plan shall consider and
accommodate, wherever possible, the needs of all users in the planning, design, construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation and maintenance of the transportation system. This determination
shall be consistent with the exceptions listed below. Achieving this vision will require balancing
the needs of different users, and may require reallocating existing right of way for different uses.
The Authority shall revise its project development guidelines to require the consideration and
accommodation of all users in the design and construction of projects funded with Measure funds
and shall adopt peer review and design standards to implement that approach. The guidelines
will allow flexibility in responding to the context of each project and the needs of users specific
to the project’s context, and will build on accepted best practices for complete streets and
context-sensitive design.
To ensure that this policy is carried out, the Authority shall prepare a checklist that sponsors of
projects using Measure funds must submit that documents how the needs of all users were
considered and how they were accommodated in the design and construction of the project. In
the checklist, the sponsor will outline how they provided opportunity for public input, in a
public forum, from all users early in the project development and design process. If the
proposed project or program will not provide context appropriate conditions for all users, the
sponsor shall document the reasons why in the checklist, consistent with the following section on
“exceptions” below. The completed checklist shall be made part of the approval of programming
of funding for the project or the funding allocation resolution.
Recipients of Local Street Maintenance and Improvement funds shall adopt procedures that
ensure that all agency departments consider and accommodate the needs of all users for projects
or programs affecting public rights of way for which the agency is responsible. These procedures
shall:
1) be consistent with and be designed to implement each agency’s general plan policies once
that plan has been updated to comply with the Complete Streets Act of 2008,
2) involve and coordinate the work of all agency departments and staff whose projects will
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 70
affect the public right of way,
3) consider the complete street design standards adopted by the Authority, and
4) provide opportunity for public review by all potential users early in the project
development and design phase so that options can be fully considered. This review could
be done through an advisory committee such as a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee or as part of the review of the agency’s capital improvement program.
As part of their biennial Growth Management Program checklist, agencies shall list projects
funded by the Measure and detail how those projects accommodated users of all modes.
As part of the multi-jurisdictional planning required by the Growth Management Program,
agencies shall work with the Authority and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees to
harmonize the planning, design and construction of transportation facilities for all modes within
their jurisdiction with the plans of adjoining and connecting jurisdictions.
Exceptions
Project sponsors may provide a lesser accommodation or forgo complete street accommodation
components when the public works director or equivalent agency official finds that:
1. Pedestrians, bicyclists, or other users are prohibited by law from using the transportation
facility,
2. The cost of new accommodation would be excessively disproportionate to the need or
probable use, or
3. The sponsor demonstrates that, such accommodation is not needed, based on objective
factors including:
a. current and projected user demand for all modes based on current and future land
use, and
b. lack of identified conflicts, both existing and potential, between modes of travel.
Project sponsors shall explicitly approve exceptions findings as part of the approval of any
project using measure funds to improve streets classified as a major collector or above.1 Prior to
this project sponsors must provide an opportunity for public input at an approval body (that
regularly considers design issues) and/or the governing board of the project sponsor.

Advance Mitigation Program
The Authority is committed to participate in the creation and funding of an Advance Mitigation
Program as an innovative way to advance needed infrastructure projects more efficiently and
provide more effective conservation of our natural resources. As a global biodiversity hot spot,
the Bay Area and Contra Costa County hosts an extraordinarily rich array of valuable natural
communities and ecosystems that provide habitat for rare plants and wildlife, and support
residents’ health and quality of life by providing clean drinking water, clean air, opportunities for
outdoor recreation, protection from disasters like flooding, landslides, and adaptation to climate
change. The Advance Mitigation Program aims to integrate conservation into infrastructure
agencies’ plans and project development well in advance and on a regional scale to reduce
potential impacts of transportation projects, as well as to drive mitigation dollars to protect
regional conservation priorities and protect important ecological functions that are at threat of
loss. The Advance Mitigation Program will be focused on environmental mitigation activities
required under CEQA, NEPA and applicable regulations in the implementation of the major
highway, transit and regional arterial and local streets and roads projects identified in the Plan.
The Authority's participation in an Advance Mitigation Program is subject to the following
conditions:
1. Development of a Regional Conservation Assessment / Framework for Contra Costa County
that identifies conservation priorities and mitigation opportunities. The Regional
Conservation Framework will include opportunities and strategies that are consistent with the
East Contra Costa Habitat Conservation Program. The Authority will review and approve
the Regional Conservation Assessment / Framework prior to the allocation of funds for
Advance Mitigation Program.
2. Development of a Project Impacts Assessment that identifies the portfolio of projects to be
included in the Advance Mitigation Program and the estimated costs for mitigation of the
environmental impacts of the projects. The Authority will review and approve the Project
Impacts Assessment prior to the allocation of funds for Advance Mitigation Program
3. Development of the legislative and regulatory framework necessary to implement an
Advance Mitigation Program in Contra Costa County.
4. The identification of the Implementing Agency to administer the Advance Mitigation
Program for Contra Costa County or portions of the Bay Area Including Contra Costa
County.
The Authority will determine the amount of funds to be dedicated to this Program following the
satisfaction of the above conditions. Funds from the Plan will be allocated consistent with the
Regional Conservation Framework to fund environmental mitigation activities required in the
implementation of the major highway, transit and regional arterial and local streets and roads
projects identified in the Plan. The intent is to establish a program to provide for large-scale
acquisition and management of critical habitat areas and to create a reliable approach for funding
required mitigation for future transportation improvements thereby reducing future costs and
accelerating project delivery. If this approach cannot be fully implemented, these funds shall be
used for environmental mitigation purposes on a project by project basis.

Implementing Guidelines
This Transportation Expenditure Plan (Plan) is guided by principles that ensure the revenue
generated by the sales tax is spent only for the purposes outlined in this Plan in the most efficient
and effective manner possible, consistent with serving the transportation needs of Contra Costa
County. The following Implementing Guidelines shall govern the administration of sale tax
revenues by the Authority. Additional detail for certain Implementing Guidelines is found
elsewhere in this Plan.
Duration of the Plan
The duration of the Plan shall be for 25 years from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2042.
Administration of the Plan
1. Funds only Projects and Programs in the Plan: Funds collected under this Measure may
only be spent for purposes identified in the Plan, as it may be amended by the Authority
governing body.
2. All Decisions Made in Public Process: The Authority is given the fiduciary duty of
administering the transportation sales tax proceeds in accordance with all applicable laws and
with the Plan. Activities of the Authority will be conducted in public according to state law,
through publically noticed meetings. The annual budgets of Authority, strategic plans and
annual reports will all be prepared for public review. The interest of the public will be
further protected by a Public Oversight Committee, described previously in the Plan.
3. Salary and Administration Cost Caps: Revenues may be expended by the Authority for
salaries, wages, benefits, overhead and those services including contractual services
necessary to administer the Measure; however, in no case shall the expenditures for the
salaries and benefits of the staff necessary to perform administrative functions for the
Authority exceed one percent (1%) of revenues. The allocated costs of Authority staff who
directly implement specific projects or programs are not included in the administrative
costs.
4. Expenditure Plan Amendments Require Majority Support: The Authority may review
and propose amendments to the Expenditure Plan and the Growth Management Program to
provide for the use of additional federal, state and local funds, to account for unexpected
revenues, or to take into consideration unforeseen circumstances. Affected Regional
Transportation Planning Committee(s) will participate in the development of the proposed
amendment(s). A majority of the Authority Board is required to approve an amendment and
all jurisdictions within the county will be given a 45 day period to comment on any proposed
Expenditure Plan amendment.
5. Augment Transportation Funds: Funds generated pursuant to the Measure are to be used
to supplement and not replace existing local revenues used for transportation purposes. Any
funds already allocated, committed or otherwise included in the financial plan for any project
in the Plan shall be made available for project development and implementation as required
in the project's financial and implementation program.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 76
Taxpayer Safeguards, Audits and Accountability
6. Public Oversight Committee: The Public Oversight Committee will provide diligent,
independent and public oversight of all expenditures of Measure funds by Authority or
recipient agencies (County, cities and towns, transit operators, etc). The Committee will
report to the public and focus its oversight on annual audits, the review and allocation of
Measure funds, the performance of projects and programs in the Plan, and compliance by
local jurisdictions with the maintenance of effort and Growth Management Program
described previously in the Plan
7. Fiscal Audits: All Funds expended by Authority directly and all funds allocated by formula
or discretionary grants to other entities are subject to fiscal audit. Recipients of Local Streets
Maintenance & Improvements (No. 1) or transit (Bus Transit and Other Non-Rail Transit
Enhancements (No. 11), Transportation for Seniors & People With Disabilities (No. 12)
programs) funding (County, cities and towns and transit operators) will be audited at least
once every five (5) years, conducted by an independent CPA. Any agency found to be in
non-compliance shall have its formula sales tax funds withheld, until such time as the agency
is found to be in compliance.
8. Performance Audits: The following funding categories shall be subject to performance
audits by the Authority: Local Streets Maintenance and Improvements (No. 1), Major
Streets/Complete Streets/Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (No. 2), Bus Transit and
Other Non-Rail Transit Enhancements (No. 12), Transportation for Seniors and People with
Disabilities (No. 12), Safe Transportation for Children (No. 13), Intercity Rail and Ferry
Service (No. 14), Pedestrian and Bicycle, and Trail Facilities (No. 15), Community
Development Transportation Program (No. 16), and Innovative Transportation Technology /
Connected Communities Program (No. 17). Each year, the Authority shall select and perform
a focused performance audit on two or three of the funding categories listed above, so that at
the end of the fourth year all funding categories listed above are audited. This process shall
commence two years after passage of the new sales tax measure. Additional Performance
Audits shall continue on a similar cycle for the duration of the Plan. The performance audits
shall provide an accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the funding categories to
determine the effectiveness in meeting the performance criteria established by the Authority.
In the event that any performance audit determines that a funding category is not meeting the
performance requirements established by the Authority, the audit shall include
recommendations for corrective action including but not limited to revisions to Authority
policies or program guidelines that govern the expenditure of funds.
9. Maintenance of Effort (MOE): Funds generated by the new sales tax Measure are to be
used to supplement and not replace existing local revenues used for streets and highways
purposes. The basis of the MOE requirement will be the average of expenditures of
annual discretionary funds on streets and highways, as reported to the Controller
pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2151 for the three most recent fiscal
years before the passage of the Measure where data is available. The average dollar
amount will then be increased once every three years by the construction cost index of
that third year. Penalty for non-compliance of meeting the minimum MOE is immediate
loss of all Local Streets Maintenance and Improvements funds (No. 1 and 1a) until MOE
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 77
compliance is achieved. The audit of the MOE contribution shall be at least once every
five years. Any agency found to be in non-compliance shall be subject to annual audit
for three years after they come back into compliance.
Any local jurisdiction wishing to adjust its maintenance of effort requirement shall
submit to the Authority a request for adjustment and the necessary documentation to
justify the adjustment. The Authority staff shall review the request and shall make a
recommendation to the Authority. Taking into consideration the recommendation, the
Authority may adjust the annual average of expenditures reported pursuant to Streets and
Highways Code Section 2151. The Authority shall make an adjustment if one or more of
the following conditions exists:
1. The local jurisdiction has undertaken one or more major capital projects during those
fiscal years, that required accumulating unrestricted revenues (i.e. revenues that are
not restricted for use on streets and highways such as general funds) to support the
project during one or more fiscal years.
2. A source of unrestricted revenue used to support the major capital project or projects
is no longer available to the local jurisdiction and the local jurisdiction lacks
authority to continue the unrestricted funding source.
3. One or more sources of unrestricted revenues that were available to the local
jurisdiction is producing less than 95 percent of the amount produced in those fiscal
years, and the reduction is not caused by any discretionary action of the local
jurisdiction.
10. Annual Budget and Strategic Plan: Each year, the Authority will adopt an annual budget
that estimates expected sales tax receipts, other anticipated revenue and planned expenditures
for the year. On a periodic basis, the Authority will also prepare a Strategic Plan which will
identify the priority for projects; the date for project implementation based on project
readiness and availability of project funding; the state, federal and other local funding
committed for project implementation, and other relevant criteria. The annual budget and
Strategic Plan will be adopted by the Authority Board at a public meeting.
11. Requirements for Fund Recipients: All recipients of funds allocated in this expenditure
plan will be required to sign a Master Cooperative Agreement that defines reporting and
accountability elements and as well as other applicable policy requirements. All funds will be
appropriated through an open and transparent public process.
12. Geographic Equity: The proposed projects and programs to be funded through the Plan
constitute a “balanced” distribution of funding allocations to each subregion in Contra Costa
County. However, through the course of the Measure, if any of the projects prove to be
infeasible or cannot be implemented, the affected subregion may request that the Authority
reassign funds to another project in the same subregion, as detailed in an Authority Fund
Allocations policy, and to maintain a “balanced” distribution of funding allocations to each
subregion.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 78
Restrictions On Funds
13. Expenditure Shall Benefit Contra Costa County: Under no circumstance may the
proceeds of this transportation sales tax be applied for any purpose other than for
transportation improvements benefitting residents of Contra Costa County. Under no
circumstance may these funds be appropriated by the State of California or any other local
government agency as defined in the implementing guidelines.
14. Environmental Review: All projects funded by sales tax proceeds are subject to laws and
regulations of federal, state, and local government, including the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
15. Performance based review: Before the allocation of any measure funds for the actual
construction of capital projects with an estimated capital construction cost in excess of $25
million, the Authority will verify that the project was selected using a performance based
review of project alternatives.
16. Complete Streets: The Authority has adopted a policy requiring all recipients of funding
through this Plan to consider and accommodate, wherever possible, the needs of all users in
the planning, design, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, maintenance, and operation
of the transportation system. Achieving this vision will require balancing the needs of
different users, and may require reallocating existing right of way for different uses.
17. Compliance with the Growth Management Program: If the Authority determines that a
jurisdiction does not comply with the requirements of the Growth Management Program, the
Authority shall withhold funds and also make a finding that the jurisdiction shall not be
eligible to receive Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements (No. 1) or Community
Development Transportation Program (CDTP)(No. 16) funding until the Authority
determines the jurisdiction has achieved compliance, as detailed in the Growth Management
Program section of the Plan.
18. Local Contracting and Good Jobs: Authority will develop a policy supporting the hiring of
local contractors and businesses, apprenticeship programs for Contra Costa residents, and
good jobs.
19. New Agencies: New cities or new entities (such as new transit agencies) that come into
existence in Contra Costa County during the life of the Plan may be considered as eligible
recipients of funds through a Plan amendment.
Project Financing Guidelines and Managing Revenue
20. Fiduciary Duty: Funds may be accumulated for larger or longer term projects. Interest
income generated will be used for the purposes outlined in the Plan and will be subject to
audits.
21. Project and Program Financing: The Authority has the authority to bond for the purposes
of expediting the delivery of transportation projects and programs. Authority will develop a
policy to identify financing procedures for the entire plan of projects and programs.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 79
22. Programming of Variations from the Expected Revenue: Actual revenues may, at times
be higher or lower than expected in this Plan due to changes in receipts. Additional funds
may become available due to the increased opportunities for leveraging or project costs less
than expected. Revenue may be lower than expected as the economy fluctuates.
Determination of when the contingency funds become excess will be established by a policy
defined by the Authority. Funds considered excess will be prioritized first to expenditure plan
projects and programs, and second to other projects of regional significance that are
consistent with the expenditure plan. The new project or program will be required to be
amended into the expenditure plan.
23. Fund Allocations: Through the course of the Measure, if any of the projects do not require
all funds programmed for that project or have excess funding, or should a planned project
become undeliverable, infeasible or unfundable due to circumstances unforeseen at the item
the expenditure plan was created, funding for that project will be reallocated to another
project or program. The subregion where the project or program is located may request that
the Authority reassign funds to another project in the same subregion. In the allocation of the
released funds, the Authority will in priority order consider: 1) a project or program of the
same travel mode (i.e. transit, bicycle/pedestrian, or road) in the same subregion, 2) a project
or program for other modes of travel in the same subregion, 3) other expenditure plan
projects or programs, and 4) other projects or programs of regional significance. The new
project or program or funding level may be required to be amended into the expenditure plan.
24. Leveraging Funds: Leveraging or matching of outside funding sources is strongly
encouraged. Any additional transportation sales tax revenues made available through their
replacement by matching funds will be spent based on the principles outlined for fund
allocations describe above.

TO: Contra Costa Transportation Authority TEP Chairman Don Tatzin
FROM: East Bay Leadership Council President and CEO Kristin Connelly
Bay Area Council Senior Vice President for Public Policy Michael Cunningham
BIA|Bay Area East Bay Governmental Affairs Executive Director Lisa Vorderbrueggen
RE: Draft Transportation Expenditure Plan, Version 2.1
Dear Chair Tatzin,
In an effort to help develop consensus around a potential $2.3 billion transportation expenditure plan
(TEP) measure, we were among six members of CCTA’s Expenditure Plan Advisory Committee who
have been meeting weekly during the past several months.
Despite intense efforts, the six sub-EPAC members were unable to reach agreement on a
comprehensive TEP proposal. But we are confident that the sub-EPAC’s hard work has not been for
naught. Our discussions helped us understand each other’s diverse perspectives and will serve as a
solid foundation based on mutual respect in the upcoming deliberations around the development of a
final TEP.
Priorities for the measure are diverse among stakeholders, but all can agree on the need to improve
mobility in our county in a way that facilitates the residents of Contra Costa County getting to work, to
school and to all the places they need to be in a safe, efficient manner that helps our region’s economy
thrive while protecting our extraordinary environmental assets. To achieve these objectives, the
jurisdictions in Contra Costa need to plan for the future in a manner that begins to address the nearly
four decades of inadequate housing production at all income levels while encouraging economic
development. Strategies that support the creation of high-skill and high-wage jobs across Contra Costa
can have transformational benefits on infrastructure when commutes are shortened, placing fewer
burdens on roads, highways and all forms of transit.
In the spirit of continued collaboration and our common pursuit of an improved quality of life for all
Contra Costa residents, our three organizations recommend the following changes to the draft TEP
Version 2.1:

Add funds for I-680 corridor improvements
There is broad support within the business community for the measure to facilitate enhanced
connectivity for multiple travel modes along the I-680 corridor. This corridor is a critical link between
many communities and employment centers, and the ever-increasing congestion along the corridor
has widespread effects. Funding improvements on the I-680 corridor with at least $230 million in the
measure is critical to providing needed improvements to achieve this important goal. Using the latest
technology as a strategy to increase the capacity of all of the major commute corridors in Contra Costa,
including the I-680 corridors and encouraging the inclusion of conduits (for broadband and other
technologies) with the construction or reconstruction of highway improvements to facilitate
connectivity will have significant benefits on economic developments. In order to realize the mobility
benefits so badly needed along I-680, funding must be included in the measure to implement any
recommendations the Authority wants to implement from the most recent study of the corridor.
Add funds to Improve Commutes in I-80 Corridor
Interstate 80 is a critical commute corridor for Contra Costa residents to access growing job centers,
yet it is consistently rated as the worst commute corridor in the Bay Area. The I-80 Integrated Corridor
Mobility project should, when fully implemented, provide a degree of improvement. It must, however,
be combined with an ambitious effort to optimize the performance and throughput of the HOV lane.
We believe that the proposed $20 million allocation for High Capacity Transit Improvements in the
corridor reflects an insufficient ambition and commitment to improve commutes in this corridor.
Accordingly, we propose that the allocation be increased to $50 million and that CCTA develop a plan
for, and leverage this funding to implement, a world-class HOV or express lane system with attractive
and reliable express transit service.
Add infill incentives to increase housing production
If Contra Costa County hopes to achieve the widely publicized benefits of building new homes near
existing transportation infrastructure – including convenient commutes, cost-effective transit, and
environmental benefits – it must take seriously its commitment to infill development.
To demonstrate this commitment, $117 million (5%) of Local Streets Maintenance and Improvement
funds should be allocated to address transportation impacts in communities that undertake new infill
development. CCTA will allocate these funds on a rolling three-year average of the number of housing
units permitted within each jurisdiction. Each housing unit permitted will be rewarded with
corresponding increments of local streets and road maintenance funds. Affordable units and those
located within ½-mile of quality transit will receive double increments. Allocations will be made
annually and qualified jurisdictions may spend the proceeds on any eligible transportation project or
program.

Maintain funds for East Contra Costa County corridor
We strongly support the identified funding for the design and construction of a new two-lane limited
access Byron Highway that will improve goods movement into a region that needs to attract jobs. We
also strongly endorse funding for a Vasco Road connector to the Byron airport and Vasco road safety
and high-occupancy vehicle enhancements. These projects will save lives and directly improve the
quality of life for thousands of Contra Costans who commute or live along these critical transportation
routes.
Increase funds for pedestrian, bicycle and trail facilities
Local streets and roads funds are inadequate to build modern bikeways or add sidewalks where
needed, especially with dwindling state gas tax revenues. Additional dedicated funding is needed to
improve and construct walking and bicycling facilities throughout the county through projects such as
the Marsh Creek Trail between Brentwood and Clayton.
Increase senior/disabilities funding
We support increased funding for transportation for seniors and those with disabilities. This will ensure
that Contra Costa County can provide accessible transportation options for people of all abilities and
ages, especially as demographic changes occur and more residents of the county choose to age in
place. We also strongly support the full funding and implementation of a mobility management system
that will ensure that these services are delivered in the best way possible across the entire county and
to connections throughout the region.
Reduce Transportation Technology/Connected Communities
Tremendous opportunities exist to use technology to improve transportation performance, and as
technology continues to develop rapidly there will be even greater opportunity over time. We believe
that every project and investment made by the Authority should fully embrace opportunities of
technology and that, therefore, there is little need for a dedicated allocation for technology projects.
Recognizing that there may be some technology investments, such as electric vehicle charging, that
would not be covered by existing projects, we propose to leave a reduced allocation of $30 million that
the Authority would use for an open and competitive grant program to deploy truly innovative and
advanced technology.
Eliminate the Community Development Grant program
While the intent of this fund is laudable, grant programs of this type (such as the Transportation For
Livable Communities) have not proven to be very effective at achieving their stated objectives. To the
extent that local jurisdictions identify transportation investments that will spur job and housing
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 84
creation, we propose that CCTA and local jurisdictions focus the use of existing Measure J TLC and One
Bay Area Grant funds for this purpose.
Strengthen the Urban Limit Line
Contra Costa County’s Urban Limit Line is popular with voters and must remain an integral part of the
new measure. We support the draft TEP language that tightens and standardizes the conditions under
which jurisdictions may seek a 30-acre ULL exemption. However, we are concerned that setting a cap
on the number of exemptions a jurisdiction may approve within a five-year period may actually
encourage its use. Given that the exemption has been used only once since its inception, we
recommend that CCTA remove the caps and rely on the strengthened rules. Otherwise, we support
maintaining the Growth Management Program as specified in TEP Version 2.1.
Make the performance criteria count
Voters want assurances that limited transportation funds will be spent on projects that address their
highest priorities. For some communities, that may be enhanced transit or safer bike and pedestrian
lanes. In other cities, the most critical need may be access to jobs or safer highways. The local needs
must also account for mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Voters deserve to have both.
The draft TEP already incorporates 10 broad performance criteria that will be used to evaluate the
expenditure plan’s investments: (1) reduce per capita CO2 by 15 percent; (2) house 100 percent of the
region’s population; (3) reduce exposure to particulate emissions; (4) reduce injuries and fatalities
from collisions; (5) increase walking and biking; (6) maintain the Urban Limit Line; (7) reduce
percentage of housing and transportation costs for low income households; (8) increase gross regional
product; (9) reduce vehicle miles traveled; and (10) maintain the system in a state of good repair.
However, the TEP also describes the performance review (page 29 of 30, Item No. 14) as informational
and states that the findings cannot be used to restrict the ability of a jurisdiction to allocate funding to
a project.
We propose the following compromise: CCTA, with input from sub-regions and the public advisory
committee, will develop a mutually agreed upon set of performance criteria and scoring system. Sub-
regions would still be free to allocate funds as they see fit but CCTA would prioritize funding based on
the project’s performance score. High-scoring projects will receive full allocations. Low scoring projects
will be required to provide a higher local match, depending on the score. Applicants with low-scoring
projects will be encouraged to modify their plans in such a way to increase the scores.

Contra Costa Transportation Authority
Attn: TEP Chairman Don Tatzin
RE: Draft Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP)
Dear Chairman Tatzin,
We are concerned about lack of vision, goals or clarity in the development of a new ½ cent transportation sales tax in
Contra Costa. This lack of focus and direction have made it difficult, if not impossible, for the Authority Board, the cities,
the stakeholders, or the EPAC to achieve consensus on the creation of a Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP).
We have been representing a diverse coalition that is a cross-section of the community that is supported by tens of
thousands of residents of Contra Costa County. We have been participating faithfully in CCTA’s process to develop the
Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) and a new TEP, taking advantage of every opportunity for public participation, and
spending hundreds of collective hours to provide thoughtful responses and input to CCTA, RTPCs, and the public. We
very much are in favor of creating a measure that can and will be approved by the county’s voters this November.
However, we believe that this measure must go well beyond “business as usual.” A new TEP must make a significant
contribution to reduce VMT and GHGs, creating vibrant, livable communities, and help to protect our community’s farms,
rangelands, watersheds and open spaces. The State of California’s transportation and land use policy framework, as well
as the Bay Area’s Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy provide clear direction on how to
achieve these goals. The current CCTA TEP v2.2 is going down the wrong path for Contra Costa County, the Bay Area
region, and the State of California.
We provide the following TEP allocations and rationale for our policy and funding recommendations. This is reflective of
funding the priorities in our Community Vision and Transformative Policy document.
FUNDING ALLOCATION
We are recommending a series of changes to the funding allocations presented in the draft TEP.
SUB-EPAC PROPOSED FUNDING ALLOCATION
Funding category $ millions %
Local Streets Maintenance and Improvements (5% dedicated to infill incentives) $ 538.00 23.0%
Major Streets and Complete Streets Project Grants $ 200.00 8.6%
BART Capacity and Access Improvements $ 400.00 17.1%
East County High Performance Corridor (Express Bus from Antioch E-
BART/Brentwood to Tri-Valley Transit stations; Goods movement by rail; safety
improvements)
$ 100.00 4.3%
West County High Performance Corridor (Transit improvements along I-80;
interchange improvements)
$ 110.00 4.7%
South County High Performance Corridor (680 Express Bus from West
Dublin/Pleasanton BART to Martinez)
$ 150.00 6.4%
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 119
Central County High Performance Corridor (including 680 Express Bus from
West Dublin/Pleasanton BART to Martinez (approx. $75 million); I-680/SR 4
interchange improvements)
$ 150.00 6.4%
Advance Mitigation Program (6% of entire measure) To be calculated
Bus and Other Non-Rail Transit Enhancements $ 300.00 12.8%
Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities $ 117.00 5.0%
Safe Transportation for Children $ 46.00 2.0%
Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail Facilities $ 117.00 5.0%
Community Development Investment Grant Program $ 69.00 2.9%
Innovative Transportation Technology / Connected Communities Grant Program $ 14.03 0.6%
Transportation Planning, Facilities & Services $ 29.70 1.3%
Administration $ 23.40 1.0%
Add Infill Incentives to Local Streets and Roads
If Contra Costa County hopes to achieve the widely publicized benefits of building new homes near existing
transportation infrastructure – including convenient commutes, cost-effective transit, and environmental
benefits – it must take seriously its commitment to infill development.
To demonstrate this commitment, the TEP will allocate 5 percent of the measure to address transportation
impacts in communities that are undertaking new infill development. CCTA will allocate these funds on a rolling
three-year average of the number of housing units permitted within each jurisdiction. Each unit of infill housing
will be rewarded with corresponding increments of local streets and road maintenance funds. In addition, units
that fall into the following categories will be given additional weight:
· Affordable units to very-low to low income families (2x base allocation)
· Located within ½-mile of quality transit (2x base allocation)
· Multi-family units with parking ratios of 1:1 or less (1.5x base allocation)
Allocations will be made annually and qualified jurisdictions may spend the proceeds on any eligible
transportation project or program.
Revise Community Development Incentive Grant Program
Some jurisdictions may find it difficult to develop infill housing based on certain market conditions, while other
jurisdictions may need exemplary projects — such as enhanced transportation infrastructure to reduce traffic
concerns — to achieve community support for new infill development. Likewise, some jurisdictions may want to
attract quality jobs that help to address a jobs-housing imbalance and reduce congestion throughout the
county. Therefore, we recommend that the CDI Grant Program fund infrastructure that supports specific infill
development projects near existing transit and transportation networks. Priority shall be given to projects that
provide affordable homes for low- and/or very low-income people, leverage California Affordable Housing and
Sustainable Communities Program resources, and/or improve the jobs-housing balance within sub-regions by
increasing quality job density that can be accessible by transit.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 120
Projects will compete countywide. CCTA will develop the grant criteria and scoring system with input from the
sub-regions and public advisory committee.
High Performance Corridor Improvements
There is broad support for a measure that facilitates enhanced transit connectivity along important corridors in
Contra Costa County. CCTA must now operate within the new era of transportation funding as shaped by
CalTrans’ new framework, including the California Transportation Plan 2040. This new state approach has
correctly identified that highway expansions are counterproductive to solving our complex transportation
issues, especially with severely constrained financial resources.
Contra Costa now has a great opportunity to shape our entire transportation system to meet this challenge
head on. By adding transit ridership to our existing highway system, we can make it function better, reduce
congestion, and broadly serve commuters/residents/workers in the county.
Much of the current corridor studies have pointed to the express bus model as best serving residents in each
part of the county. This will help to alleviate traffic and feed the BART transit system so that ridership can
increase on a variety of modes other than single-occupant vehicles. As an example, our TEP recommendation
for the 680 corridor is to have express bus service from Martinez Amtrak to the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART
station. This provides for enhanced bus service throughout the entire Central/South County Corridor, closes
gaps in service, and makes BART stations more accessible to transit riders throughout the county.
This is a more complete package that gives commuters and transit-dependent riders competitive options. This
high performance corridor approach creates transit options that are more viable and dependable.
Make the Performance Criteria Count
Voters want assurances that limited transportation funds will be spent on projects that address their highest
priorities. For some communities, that may be enhanced transit or safer bike and pedestrian lanes. In other
cities, the most critical need may be access to jobs or safer streets and roads. The local needs must also
account for mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and state directives to invest within the existing
transportation system. Voters deserve to have both.
The draft TEP already incorporates 10 broad performance criteria that will be used to evaluate the expenditure
plan’s investments: (1) reduce per capita CO2 by 15 percent; (2) house 100 percent of the region’s population;
(3) reduce exposure to particulate emissions; (4) reduce injuries and fatalities from collisions; (5) increase
walking and biking; (6) maintain the Urban Limit Line; (7) reduce percentage of housing and transportation
costs for low income households; (8) increase gross regional product; (9) reduce vehicle miles traveled; and
(10) maintain the system in a state of good repair.
However, the TEP also describes the performance review (page 29 of 30, Item No. 14) as informational and
states that the findings cannot be used to restrict the ability of a jurisdiction to allocate funding to a project.
We propose the following compromise: CCTA, with input from sub-regions and the public advisory committee,
will develop a scoring system based on the 10 performance criteria. All RAMP-eligible projects and those
within the Major Streets and Complete Streets category will be subject to a competitive performance review
process.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 121
Sub-regions would still be free to allocate funds as they see fit but CCTA will adjust the eligible dollar amounts
based on the project’s performance score. High-scoring projects will receive full allocations. Low scoring
projects will be required to provide 50 percent to 100 percent local funding, depending on the score.
Applicants with low-scoring projects will be encouraged to modify their plans in such a way to increase the
scores to achieve better projects and reduce the potential for sprawl-inducing projects. CCTA will develop the
grant criteria and scoring system with input from the sub-regions and public advisory committee.
Revise Major Streets and Complete Streets Project Grants
The current draft TEP contemplates awarding funds from this category based on existing project requests and unequal
sub-regional project submissions. We recommend CCTA allocate the funds in the four regions based on CCTA's
geographic and population distribution formula; establish a competitive grant cycle and award the funds based on the
performance criteria described above. We also support the language in the Major Streets Complete Streets Program
version 2.2 released to the CCTA Board on March 16, 2016, with the pilot program requiring protected bike lanes.
Increase Pedestrian, Bicycle & Trail Facilities
Many communities throughout California are dedicating between 5 to 10 percent of their transportation sales
tax measure proceeds to pedestrian, bicycle and trail facilities. We believe Contra Costa County should do the
same. Local streets and roads funds are inadequate to build modern bikeways or add sidewalks where
needed, especially with dwindling state gas tax revenues. Additional dedicated funding is needed to complete
and maintain a trail network and improve walking and bicycling throughout the county.
Increase Senior/Disabilities Funding
We support increased funding for transportation for seniors and those with disabilities. This will ensure that
Contra Costa County can provide accessible transportation options for people of all abilities and ages,
especially as demographic changes occur and more residents of the county choose to age in place. We also
strongly support the full funding and implementation of a mobility management system that will ensure that
these services are delivered in the best way possible across the entire county and to connections throughout
the region.
Increase BART and Bus Transit Funding
We support $400 million for BART that will ensure access improvements at stations throughout the county,
which polls well with voters. This includes the $300 million that is being negotiated between CCTA and BART.
We also support $300 million for capital and operating costs for bus and non-rail transit that relieves
congestion, provides commute alternatives, serves transit-dependent residents, reduces pollutant emissions,
supports infill housing and employment, demonstrates innovative approaches, and/or improves service
effectiveness and efficiency.
In order to ensure the most beneficial use of these funds, CCTA should prepare a Countywide Transit Strategic
Plan that identifies goals, strategies and metrics, and should allocate transit funds to the projects, services and
providers in accordance with the plan. High priority should be given to achieving 15-minute headways in high-
ridership travel corridors. Because the transit needs of county residents, as well as transportation technology
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 122
and means of servicing transit needs, will evolve over time, CCTA should update its strategic plan and re-
evaluate its allocations on a regular cycle.
Strengthen the Urban Limit Line & Growth Management Program
Contra Costa County’s Urban Limit Line (ULL) and Growth Management Program (GMP) are popular with
voters and must be enhanced as part of the new measure.
We recommend that CCTA remove the 30-acre exemption policy for all jurisdictions in Contra Costa. The
policy has not proven useful and removing it will provide clarity for all stakeholders and provide direction for
focusing development within the ULL.
Protecting Contra Costa County’s farms and rangelands is a high priority for county voters and for consumers
around the region. To build on previous efforts in Contra Costa County, namely the City of Brentwood, all
jurisdictions with agricultural land within their planning area, including rangelands, must adopt a model
Agricultural Protection Ordinance, with the intent to permanently preserve farms and rangelands and
mitigate for impacts and the loss of those lands. Applicable jurisdictions will be required to adopt Agricultural
Protection Ordinances to receive Return to Source funding as part of an amended Growth Management
Checklist. In addition, any loss of farmland outside of the current boundaries of the ULL should be required to
be mitigated through permanent protection of farmland in Contra Costa at a rate of three acres preserved for
every acre lost.
We also recommend that smart planning policies be considered in the checklist for public information as
affirmed by the CCTA board. This will help to provide consistency between jurisdictions and reduce land use
conflicts. These policies include: a) Hillside development ordinance b) Ridgeline protection ordinance c) Open
space system with major ridgelines defined d) Protection of wildlife corridors e) Plan to conserve buffers
around open space and agriculture f) Prohibitions on culverting blueline creeks for anything more than road
crossings in the shortest length possible g) No development of major subdivisions, urban development, or
urban services allowed in non-urban Priority Conservation Areas.
Support RAMP
The Advanced Mitigation Program is a win-win solution for Contra Costa County. It saves time for project
delivery. It is cost-effective. And it also ensures the proactive and strategic conservation of species, habitats
(including watershed protection), as well as farms and rangelands, impacted by publicly subsidized
transportation projects. We support CCTA staff implementing the TNC/MTC RAMP pilot program in Contra
Costa County with the additional inclusion of agricultural mitigations, recognizing that transportation and
development projects may significantly impact these lands and they are otherwise unprotected by state and
federal policy.

Attachment C: Identifying Projects Subject to Evaluation
Projects Subject to Evaluation
Committed projects and programs, as defined by MTC Resolution No. 4182 in April 2015, are not subject
to project performance assessment. Of the uncommitted projects submitted in the Call for Projects by the
September 2015 deadline, MTC staff evaluated projects that met the following criteria:
1.The project impacts can be evaluated with the regional travel demand model.
2.The total project costs are at least $100 million (as measured in 2017 dollars).
Examples of projects that were evaluated:
•New/enhanced transit service, including travel time savings of rapid bus or bus rapid transit (BRT)
infrastructure
•Freeway-to-freeway interchanges
•Freeway widenings, including HOV lanes & auxiliary lanes
•Capacity-increasing improvements to state highways and major arterials
•State of good repair investments for state highways and local streets & roads
•State of good repair investments for public transit systems
Examples of projects that were not evaluated even if met the cost threshold:
•Intersection improvements or other non-capacity-increasing improvements
•Freeway-to-freeway interchanges that do not include mainline widening
•Local interchanges
•Transit center improvements and parking expansion
•Transit projects that increase capacity within trains and on platforms but that do not result in
increased frequency or travel time improvements
•Grade separations
Unlike Plan Bay Area 2013, staff did not evaluate uncommitted regional programs for Plan Bay Area 2040.
These programs will be considered during the investment strategy separately from the performance
assessment. Staff also did not evaluate any project with total costs less than $100 million. These projects
will be prioritized by Congestion Management Agencies, subject to fiscal constraint.
Per this evaluation criteria, all committed projects and projects that are currently under construction are
exempt from the project performance evaluation for Plan Bay Area 2040. A list of major capacity increasing
projects that we are not evaluating is included in Table C-1 on the following page. A full accounting of
which projects were assessed in Plan Bay Area and that are no longer subject to the evaluation will be
provided as an online resource (see Attachment D).

Re: Environmental Review of Draft Transportation Expenditure Plan
Dear Mr. Engelman:
For nearly a year, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA)
has committed to integrating its development of the Transportation
Expenditure Plan (TEP) for a new sales tax measure within the larger
development of a fiscally-constrained Countywide Transportation Plan
(CTP). In particular, the Authority promised to conduct an analysis of
alternatives for the TEP as part of its study of CTP alternatives in an
Environmental Impact Report.
We write on behalf of the Sierra Club, Urban Habitat and Public
Advocates to express deep concern that the Authority appears to be on
the brink of reneging on this important commitment.
By way of background: On May 20, the Board effectuated a fundamental
reorientation of CCTA’s process for adopting its new CTP. A central part
of that decision was the Board’s approval of staff’s recommendation to
treat “the CTP and the TEP as part of the same overall CEQA ‘project’
and analyz[e] their impacts together in one CEQA document.” (Staff
rep., 5/20/15, p. 1.) Consistent with this reorientation, the July 31, 2015
Notice of Preparation stated that the alternatives to be analyzed in the
new SEIR were “specifically intended to inform the development of a
2015 Draft Transportation Expenditure Plan (Draft TEP).” (NOP, p. 4.)
Since then, CCTA identified three alternatives for inclusion in the EIR’s
analysis, and stated that the draft EIR would be made available in
January or February of this year – something that has not yet occurred.
The draft, as CCTA confirmed, would analyze the three alternatives not
only for important environmental impacts, including GHG reduction, but
also against regional performance measures, as required by MTC’s
Guidelines on Countywide Transportation Plans. CCTA also confirmed

that the EIR would include the equity analysis of those alternatives, also required by MTC.
As we noted in a May 27 letter to Chair Pierce and Planning Committee Chair Abelson – and
reiterated in our initial comments on the NOP on August 7 – this approach makes good sense,
both for ensuring legal compliance and for developing a performance-based and cost-effective
sales tax plan through a process that provides agencies, stakeholders and the broader public with
meaningful information about alternative sets of investment priorities. The NOP states this
rationale even more pointedly: “[t]he results of this recirculated [SEIR] are also expected to
assist the Regional Transportation Planning Committees and the Expenditure Plan Advisory
Committee in consideration of their development of an upcoming Transportation Expenditure
Plan.” (NOP, p. 6.)
It is now becoming increasingly evident that the Authority may have abandoned its previous
commitments, and may proceed to adopt a TEP that has neither been studied against alternatives
nor subjected to any environmental review whatsoever. Leaving aside for now the legal
implications of such a breach of CCTA’s prior commitments to the public,1 we urge the Board to
complete the promised analysis of alternatives prior to taking any action to put a new sales tax
measure on the ballot.
Should a measure that will commit sales tax revenues for many years come before the voters in
November without any analysis of distinct alternatives against environmental, performance and
equity criteria, voters will face questions of trust as well as questions about whether the proposed
TEP makes wise use of their taxpayer dollars. Questions of trust will arise as CCTA is viewed as
having broken important promises by voters who will be asking themselves whether they can
trust CCTA to keep its current promises about how it will use these new funds. Those same
voters, when they ask whether the priorities established in the TEP have risen to the top in
performance analysis against alternative approaches, will find no answers. Many will be
dismayed to learn that even the most basic environmental review of the proposed TEP has not
been conducted.
Very truly yours,

1 Notwithstanding Sustainable Transportation Advocates of Santa Barbara v. Santa Barbara County
Association of Governments, 179 Cal. App. 4th 113 (2009), we believe that under the circumstances present here,
CCTA’s adoption of a TEP pursuant to Pub. Util. Code §§ 180201, 180206 without prior certification of a proper
EIR under CEQA may be unlawful.

RE: Review of the Draft TEP (dated AprilS, 2016)
Identified Issues and Recommendations
The CCTA Authority Board (Authority), in a special meeting session on April 6, 2016 reviewed,
discussed and authorized staff to release the Draft TEP (dated April 8,2016). The Draft TEP
considers the collective input received from the Regional Transportation Planning Committees,
the Expenditure Plan Advisory Committee (EPAC), the Public Manager's Association (PMA),
and the public through a comprehensive outreach program. In addition, correspondence was
received just prior to the April 6, 2016 meeting from two subgroups of EPAC members with
recommendations related to the proposed TEP programs, projects and policies.
Concurrent with the Board's release of the Draft TEP, the Gray-Bowen-Scott team (GBS) was
asked to review the Draft TEP (April 8, 2016 version) in relation to the input received from all
sources, including the two recent letters from the EPAC subgroups. Our team was asked to
provide the Board with recommendations related to changes and/or modifications to the draft
TEP that might improve public support of the TEP as relates to a possible November 2016 ballot
measure.
Considering all of the input received to date, including that received during the Authority 's
extensive public outreach efforts as well as public opinion surveys and input received through
the EPAC and at various Authority and RTPC meetings, the GBS team recommends
consideration of the following proposed changes/edits to the draft TEP and that these changes be
incorporated into the next version of the TEP (anticipated to be released May 4, 2016). Because a
number of the recommendations propose increased funding for projects and programs, it is
recommended that the Authority extend the term of the proposed measure from 25-years to 30-
years .
Corridors I Projects:
1. Increase the total allocation to the I-680 corridor to $250 million. Additional funding in this
corridor is warranted. As noted above, it is recommended the Authority revise the TEP to
reflect a measure with a 30-year term to provide the necessary capacity to increase the
allocation on the 680 corridor to $250 million.

2. Allocate additional funds to improve commutes in the 1-80 corridor. Shifting to a 30-year
term provides sufficient capacity to increase funding in the High Capacity Transit category to
$55m. In addition, our team would recommend that the two 1-80 related items (High
Capacity Transit Improvements along the 1-80 corridor and the 1-80 IC Improvements) be
merged (as they were in an earlier version of the TEP) providing a total of $115m for this
category. WCCTAC's recommendation to 'split out' the IC improvements from the 1-80
Corridor Improvements could be interpreted as prioritizing one mode over another. In this
regard, the TEP should make it clear that the IC improvements are eligible for funding and
their completion is a priority for WCCT AC.
3. Allocate additional funds to the 24214 corridor category. Shifting to a measure with a 30-year
term provides sufficient capacity to increase funding to this important corridor.
Programs:
4. Increase funding in the Transportation for Seniors & People with Disabilities category to 4%
total and allocate the additional funds in a manner that better balances the program
countywide. Honor the various RTPC requests as 'minimums' in this category.
5. Provide additional funding for the Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail Facilities program and
allocate the additional funding in a manner that better balances the program countywide.
Shifting to a 30-year term measure provides sufficient capacity to increase funding in this
category to 4%. As previously noted, it is recommended that the Authority honor the existing
RTPC requests per sub-region as minimums in this category.
6 . Reallocate a portion (3%) of the funds now allocated to the CDI program to the Major
Streets/ Complete Streets/ Traffic Signal Synchronization Grant Program to better balance
the program countywide. As with the other categories, the existing RTPC requests per sub-
region should be treated as a minimum allocation per sub-region. In central county,
additional funds should be allocated to Improve Traffic Flow along the SR 242 and SR 4
Corridors in Central and Eastern Contra Costa County funding category .
Policies:
7. The CDI program as proposed in the Draft TEP (dated April 8, 2016) has received little
support from stakeholders with some suggesting dropping the program and others suggesting
a reduced program focused onjob creation . The GBS team recommends 3% of the total
revenue be allocated to the proposed new CDI program (compared to the 6% identified in the
Draft TEP). We recommend that the Authority consider combining this new program with a
restructured Measure J TLC program. This would allow the Authority to focus a significant
amount of resources on an enhanced program with the goal of pro-actively assisting
jurisdictions with the development of transportation infrastructure that can be demonstrated
to incentivize the development of housing and jobs within their communities . It is
recommended that the Authority make funds from this category available to jurisdictions
seeking funding from the State's Strategic Growth Council (SGC) for Affordable Housing

Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grants from this program as well as other similar
programs. CCTA staff should work with PMA and other stakeholders to refine the proposal
for an updated / combined CDV TLC program. The TEP should require the Authority to
define and adopt this new program within 12 months of the passage of the new measure.
8 . A number of stakeholders have suggested that a portion of the funding proposed to be
allocated to the jurisdictions for Local Streets and Road Maintenance and Improvements be
allocated based on the number of housing units permitted by that jurisdiction over some
period oftime (3 years) with 'bonuses' for certain types of housing and/or proximity to
'quality transit'. The GBS team does not recommend this approach, but as noted above
would suggest that 3% of the total revenue from this measure be allocated to the proposed
new CDr program.
9. A number of stakeholders have suggested the inclusion of meaningful 'Performance Criteria'
to 'screen' project alternatives. The GBS team recommends that the TEP require projects
with a capital cost of over $25m be subject to review using defined performance criteria. The
TEP should include provisions requiring the Authority to adopt and apply said performance
criteria within 12 months of the effective date of this measure.
10. The language in the current Draft TEP reflects efforts by the Authority to respond to previous
comments regarding the ULL and should be maintained. Our team does recommend
removing the proposed 5-year 'cap' on the number of non-voter approved amendments to the
ULL.
11. Require jurisdictions that might be considering a non-voter approved amendment to their
ULL that would impact defined Agricultural lands outside of the ULL to adopt an
Agricultural Protection Ordinance and/or mitigate the loss of designated Agricultural lands
by permanently protecting farmland .
12. With respect to the Growth Management Program, the GBS team recommends that the
Authority add additional disclosure items (not requirements) to its Growth Management
Checklist to include whether or not a jurisdiction has adopted any or all of the following - a
Hillside Development Ordinance, a Ridgeline Protection Ordinance, an Open Space System
with Ridgelines defined, protections for wildlife corridors , a plan to conserve buffers around
open space and agriculture, prohibitions on the culverting of 'blue-line creeks' for anything
other than road crossings and prohibitions on development in designated 'non-urban Priority
Conservation Areas.
13. In addition, the GBS team would recommend that provisions be added to the TEP requiring
the Authority to establish policies requiring the paymen t of prevailing wages on all projects
funded using measure funds , apprenticeship programs where appropriate and a helmets to
hardhats program .
14. A number of stakeholders have suggested the inclusion of a more comprehensive vision
statement in the final TEP . As part of a ta sk to revise the format of the TEP into a more voter

Contra Costa Transportation Authority STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:April 6, 2016
Subject Development of a Potential Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) –
Consideration to Adopt a Policy to Include an Advance Mitigation Program
in the Draft TEP
Summary of Issues Authority staff has been participating on a Technical Advisory Committee in
an effort to assess the potential for a Regional Advance Mitigation Program
(RAMP) in the Bay Area. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)
and the Coastal Conservancy are sponsoring an effort to scope and
implement a RAMP in the Bay Area with the target of including RAMP in
MTC’s update of Plan Bay Area 2040. The effort, being facilitated by The
Nature Conservancy, includes the MTC, several Congestion Management
Agencies, regulatory and permitting agencies, and the Coastal Conservancy
working together over the past 15 months to develop the tools and
mechanisms, as well as the science-based conservation and mitigation
framework to enable RAMP in the Bay Area. RAMP provides an opportunity
to align conservation and infrastructure planning in the Bay Area to meet
both conservation and economic development goals and provide a model for
other regions in California and beyond. Contra Costa and Alameda County has
been identified as one of two potential areas to pilot the RAMP approach.
However, there are many issues to address, such as structure, funding,
regulatory support, management, and coordination and support of existing
conservation plans - like Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) and Natural
Communities Conservation Plans (NCCPs) in the Bay Area.
Recommendations Staff recommends the Authority develop and adopt a policy to include
advance mitigation in the Draft TEP.
Financial
Implications
The advance mitigation program carries a to-be-determined administrative
cost.The Authority's cost for administration will depend on the model
developed under the proposed Contra Costa/Alameda County pilot. The
mitigation fees to fund the advance mitigation program should equal or
approximate the project mitigation costs under a traditional project-by-
project mitigation approach.An advance mitigation approach should include

Regional Advance Mitigation Planning in the San Francisco Bay Area
Effort to implement RAMP in the Bay Area for Environmental and Infrastructure Benefits
Transportation agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area plan to implement over 680
transportation projects over the next 20 years—roads, bridges, transit, and rail lines to serve
the growing population and thriving economy. As a global biodiversity hot spot, the Bay Area
hosts an extraordinarily rich array of valuable natural communities and ecosystems that provide
habitat for rare plants and wildlife, and support residents’ health and quality of life by providing
clean drinking water, clean air, opportunities for outdoor recreation, protection from disasters
like flooding, landslides, and adaptation to climate change. As the Bay Area grows, it is
important that it happens in a manner that protects and enhances the state’s natural resources.
Transportation and natural resource agencies are working together to develop an innovative
way to advance needed infrastructure projects more efficiently and provide more effective
conservation of our natural resources through Regional Advance Mitigation Planning (RAMP).
Plan Bay Area articulates this vision, with its balanced approach toward regional growth
patterns and conservation of the region’s parks, open spaces, farms, and ranches. RAMP is
consistent with Plan Bay Area as it incorporates a regional and coordinated approach to
infrastructure development and natural resources and working lands conservation, delivering
benefits to both sectors.
An assessment conducted by researchers from U.C. Davis and The Nature Conservancy of the
potential impact of the transportation projects in the approved Plan Bay Area identified 188
projects that may directly impact between 8,400 – 11,000 acres of the Bay Area’s important
species, habitat, farmlands and rangelands, rivers and streams. Many of those projects will have
impacts that may result in increased fragmentation and degradation of existing habitats and
species. Most transportation projects require environmental mitigation (avoidance,
minimization, offset) as prescribed in each project’s environmental document to r educe the
potential impact as well as compensate for any impacts that do occur. These mitigation
measures may include purchasing land or retaining land rights for certain affected species or
activities. In the Bay Area, mitigation activities often occur on a per-project basis, with each
project individually satisfying its own mitigation purchase requirements. This approach is often
expensive, not integrated with a regional conservation vision, and done late in the project
delivery cycle, thereby losing valuable conservation opportunities to conversion to other land
uses.
RAMP aims to integrate conservation into infrastructure agencies’ plans and project
development well in advance and on a regional scale to reduce potential impacts of
transportation projects, as well as to drive mitigation dollars to protect regional conservation
priorities and protect important ecological functions that are at threat of loss. There are
Attachment A
1.1.1-3April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 148
significant benefits to transportation agencies – they can plan comprehensively for project
delivery and reduce costs attributed to mitigation, achieve significant conservation benefits,
and accelerate project delivery. Not only can RAMP reduce infrastructure project costs,
expedite project delivery, and improve relationships among agencies, it also ensures mitigation
funds are being put to their utmost and highest use by protecting land with high habitat and
connectivity value to create larger scale, more functional ecosystems linked to the conservation
priorities of the region. In this same way RAMP can also help reduce GHG emissions through
land use changes and carbon sequestration and provide communities with watershed
protection, cleaner air, and open space for recreation. RAMP itself is not a regulatory process
and does not change CEQA in any way. However by planning strategically on a larger scale and
implementing mitigation in advance of project impacts or project delivery, RAMP allows both
resource agencies and CMAs to work together to implement mitigation and conservation to be
more cost effective, efficient, and successful.
Other regions, such as Orange County and San Diego County, have programs for advance
mitigation and are seeing the cost, project delivery, and environmental conservation benefits.
Opportunity
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is sponsoring an effort to scope and
implement RAMP in the Bay Area with the target of including RAMP in MTC’s update of Plan
Bay Area 2040. The MTC, Congestion Management Agencies, regulatory agencies, and the
Coastal Conservancy are working together to develop the tools and mechanisms, as well as the
science-based conservation and mitigation framework to enable RAMP in the Bay Area. There
are many issues to address, such as structure, funding, regulatory support, management, and
coordination and support of existing conservation plans—like Habitat Conservation Plans
(HCPs) and Natural Communities Conservation Plans (NCCPs)—in the Bay Area.
This is an opportunity to align conservation and infrastructure planning in the Bay Area to meet
both conservation and economic development goals and provide a model for other regions in
California and beyond.

RAMP: Regional Advance Mitigation Planning
A Win-Win for Transportation and Environment
Integrated RAMP is an innovative collaboration between transportation and resource agencies to advance
Conservation & new transportation projects more efficiently and to more effectively preserve the Bay Area’s
Project Planning natural resources. This new approach spurns traditional project-by-project mitigation deals to
incorporate regional-scale conservation planning into the earliest stages of transportation
agencies’ project planning and development.
Higher Efficiency, Most transportation projects require environmental mitigation — avoidance, minimization or
Lower Costs offsets such as buying land or retaining land rights for certain affected species or activities.
Traditional project-by-project mitigation is frequently expensive, often occurs late in the
delivery process, and may have no connection with regional conservation goals. RAMP helps
transportation agencies cut costs, speed project delivery and achieve major conservation
benefits by developing a comprehensive delivery plan that includes mitigation from the start.
No New Regs or RAMP is not a regulatory process, and does not change CEQA in any way. RAMP helps the
CEQA Changes transportation agencies get the biggest bang for their mitigation buck by protecting land with
high habitat and connectivity value to create larger, more functional ecosystems linked to
regional conservation priorities. RAMP helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions through land-
use changes and carbon sequestration, and provides communities with watershed protection
and open space for recreation.
Bay Area Eyes MTC aims to use RAMP in the development of Plan Bay Area 2040, the long-range regional
Statewide Model transportation and land-use plan slated for adoption in 2017. The Commission is collaborating
with county congestion management agencies, state and federal regulatory agencies and the
state Coastal Conservancy to develop the tools, mechanisms and science-based conservation
and mitigation framework needed to implement RAMP in the Bay Area establish a model for
use across the state and beyond. Orange County and San Diego County already are seeing cost,
delivery and conservation benefits from advance mitigation programs.
Thousands of Researchers from U.C. Davis and the Nature Conservatory reviewed the nearly 700 projects
Acres at Stake included in the current Plan Bay Area and identified 188 projects that could directly affect up
to 11,000 acres of the Bay Area’s most important species habitats, farm and range lands, and
rivers and streams. RAMP provides an opportunity to protect much of this land from
fragmentation and habitat degradation.
Plenty of Work Implementation of RAMP in the Bay Area remains a work in progress. Ongoing challenges
Still to be Done include funding, organizational structure, management, regulatory support, and coordination
with existing Habitat Conservation Plans and Natural Communities Conservation Plans. But
the RAMP initiative is an important opportunity to align infrastructure and conservation
planning to achieve mobility, economic development and environmental goals simultaneously.

regulations, the Federal Master Agreement has been revised by Caltrans to reflect the recent changes created by
the "Supercircular," otherwise known as 2 CFR 200, “UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS,
COST PRINCIPLES, AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL AWARDS” issued by the Federal
government. When 2 CFR 200 was published over a year ago, it consolidated several Office of Management and
Budget directives and eliminated other regulations. In addition, it has been 10 years since the last Federal Master
Agreement revision. To address references to obsolete Federal regulations, Caltrans has revised the Master
Agreement to bring it into compliance.
So that the County is able to apply for State and Federal funds for road and bridge projects, the State requires that
the Master Agreement be in place. This new Federal Master Agreement will be required for any new requests for
authorization for a new project. For existing projects, Caltrans plans to issue revised program supplement
agreements.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not executed the County will not be eligible to receive any State or Federal funds to repair or
build County roads.

related activities financed in part with federal-aid funds as more fully-described in an
"Authorization/ Agreement Summary" or "Amendment/Modification Summary", herein referred to
as "E-76" or "E-76 (AMOD)" document authorized by STATE and the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA).
3. The E-76/E-76 (AMOD) shall designate the party responsible for implementing PROJECT, type
of work and location of PROJECT.
4. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT sets out special covenants as a condition for the
ADMINISTERING AGENCY to receive federal-aid funds from/through STATE for designated
PROJECT. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall also show these federal funds that have been
initially encumbered for PROJECT along with the matching funds to be provided by
ADMINISTERING AGENCY and/or others. Execution of PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT by the
PARTIES shall cause ADMINISTERING AGENCY to adopt all of the terms of this AGREEMENT
as though fully set forth therein in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. Unless otherwise expressly
delegated in a resolution by the governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY, and with written
concurrence by STATE, the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall be approved and managed by the
governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
5. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to execute and return each project-specific PROGRAM
SUPPLEMENT within ninety (90) days of receipt. The PARTIES agree that STATE may suspend
future authorizations/obligations and invoice payments for any on-going or future federal-aid
project performed by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if any project-specific PROGRAM
SUPPLEMENT is not returned within that ninety (90) day period unless otherwise agreed by
STATE in writing.
6. ADMINISTERING AGENCY further agrees, as a condition to the release and payment of
federal funds encumbered for the PROJECT described in each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, to
comply with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT and all of the agreed-upon Special
Covenants or Remarks incorporated within the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, and

8. That PROJECT or portions thereof, must be included in a federally approved Federal Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP) prior to ADMINISTERING AGENCY submitting the
"Request for Authorization".
9. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall conform to all state statutes, regulations and procedures
(including those set forth in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual and the Local Assistance
Program Guidelines, hereafter collectively referred to as "LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROCEDURES")
relating to the federal-aid program, all Title 23 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) and 2 CFR part
200 federal requirements, and all applicable federal laws, regulations, and policy and procedural
or instructional memoranda, unless otherwise specifically waived as designated in the executed
project-specific PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT.
10. If PROJECT is not on STATE-owned right of way, PROJECT shall be constructed in
accordance with LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROCEDURES that describes minimum statewide design
standards for local agency streets and roads. LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROCEDURES for projects
off the National Highway System (NHS) allow STATE to accept either the STATE's minimum
statewide design standards or the approved geometric design standards of ADMINISTERING
AGENCY. Additionally, for projects off the NHS, STATE will accept ADMINISTERING AGENCY-
approved standard specifications, standard plans, materials sampling and testing quality
assurance programs that meet the conditions described in the then current LOCAL ASSISTANCE
PROCEDURES.

15. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall provide or arrange for adequate supervision and inspection
of each PROJECT. While consultants may perform supervision and inspection work for PROJECT
with a fully qualified and licensed engineer, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall provide a full-time
employee to be in responsible charge of each PROJECT who is not a consultant.
16. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall submit PROJECT-specific contract award documents to
STATE's District Local Assistance Engineer within sixty (60) days after contract award. A copy of
the award documents shall also be included with the submittal of the first invoice for a construction
contract by ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
17. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall submit the final report documents that collectively constitute
a "Report of Expenditures" within one hundred eighty (180) days of PROJECT completion. Failure
by ADMINISTERING AGENCY to submit a "Report of Expenditures" within one hundred eighty
(180) days of project completion will result in STATE imposing sanctions upon ADMINISTERING
AGENCY in accordance with the current LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROCEDURES.
18. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall comply with: (i) section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in federally assisted programs; (ii) the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of

ARTICLE II - RIGHTS OF WAY
1. No contract for the construction of a federal-aid PROJECT shall be awarded until all necessary
rights of way have been secured. Prior to the advertising for construction of PROJECT,
ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall certify and, upon request, shall furnish STATE with evidence
that all necessary rights of way are available for construction purposes or will be available by the
time of award of the construction contract.
2. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to indemnify and hold STATE harmless from any liability
that may result in the event the right of way for a PROJECT, including, but not limited to, being
clear as certified or if said right of way is found to contain hazardous materials requiring treatment
or removal to remediate in accordance with Federal and State laws. The furnishing of right of way
as provided for herein includes, in addition to all real property required for the PROJECT, title free
and clear of obstructions and encumbrances affecting PROJECT and the payment, as required by
applicable law, of relocation costs and damages to remainder real property not actually taken but
injuriously affected by PROJECT. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall pay, from its own non-
matching funds, any costs which arise out of delays to the construction of PROJECT because
utility facilities have not been timely removed or relocated, or because rights of way were not
available to ADMINISTERING AGENCY for the orderly prosecution of PROJECT work.
3. Subject to STATE approval and such supervision as is required by LOCAL ASSISTANCE
PROCEDURES over ADMINISTERING AGENCY's right of way acquisition procedures,
ADMINISTERING AGENCY may claim reimbursement from federal funds for expenditures
incurred in purchasing only the necessary rights of way needed for the PROJECT after crediting
PROJECT with the fair market value of any excess property retained and not disposed of by
ADMINISTERING AGENCY.
4. When real property rights are to be acquired by ADMINISTERING AGENCY for a PROJECT,
said ADMINISTERING AGENCY must carry out that acquisition in compliance with all applicable
State and Federal laws and regulations, in accordance with State procedures as published in
State's current LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROCEDURES and STATE's Right-of-Way Manual,
subject to STATE oversight to ensure that the completed work is acceptable under the Federal
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended.
5. Whether or not federal-aid is to be requested for right of way, should ADMINISTERING
AGENCY, in acquiring right of way for PROJECT, displace an individual, family, business, farm
operation, or non-profit organization, relocation payments and services will be provided as set
forth in 49 CFR, Part 24. The public will be adequately informed of the relocation payments and
services which will be available, and, to the greatest extent practicable, no person lawfully
occupying real property shall be required to move from his/her dwelling or to move his/her
business or farm operation without at least ninety (90) days written notice from ADMINISTERING
AGENCY. ADMINISTERING AGENCY will provide STATE with specific assurances, on each
portion of the PROJECT, that no person will be displaced until comparable decent, safe and
sanitary replacement housing is available within a reasonable period of time prior to displacement,
and that ADMINISTERING AGENCY's relocation program is realistic and adequate to provide
orderly, timely and efficient relocation of PROJECT-displaced persons as provided in 49 CFR,

contract or upon contractor being relieved of the responsibility for maintaining and protecting
PROJECT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be responsible for the maintenance, ownership,
liability, and the expense thereof, for PROJECT in a manner satisfactory to the authorized
representatives of STATE and FHWA and if PROJECT falls within the jurisdictional limits of

Subject:Contract Amendment No. 1 with Quincy Engineering, Incorporated, Bay Point area.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 188
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Professional engineering services were required for the proper and satisfactory execution of the Canal Road Sidewalk
and Bike Lane Project. Quincy was selected to provide these services after completing a request for qualifications
solicitation and interview process that put them on a short list with four other firms to provide consulting services for
future projects. The County requested and received technical proposals from two of the five short listed firms to
provide consulting services for this project. Quincy was selected by a selection committee as the firm that was best
able to address the County’s needs for the project.
Through the course of the design of the project the amount of effort initially assumed for the contract scope and
budget has been exceeded. The primary area which required more effort than initially anticipated was the extent of
the storm drain systems that were required as part of this project.
Proposed Amendment No. 1 will amend the payment limits in order to compensate for this additional effort.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract amendment is not approved, the consultant may not get compensated for their work and we will not
have the design expertise available during construction to address any issues that may arise.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2016/4441 to prohibit parking at all times on a portion of Lunada Lane (Road No.
4237H), from a point 590 feet west of the west curbline of Danville Boulevard (Road No. 5301A) at its intersection
with Stone Valley Road West (Road No. 4237H), and continuing westerly and northerly for a distance of 270 feet,
Alamo area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
Lunada Lane begins as the continuation of Stone Valley Road West at its intersection with the Iron Horse Trail. The
roadways alignment immediately enters a horizontal curve featuring a directional change (90 degree) going
westbound to northbound. Residents in the area have complained that trail users often park on the north side of
Lunada Lane around this curve forcing pedestrians into the traveled portion of the roadway on a blind curve. Due to
the curvature of the roadway, motorists would have difficulty seeing pedestrians in the travel lane ahead of them.
There is no sidewalk on either side of this portion of Lunada Lane. Based on these factors, we recommend
prohibiting parking around this curve to improve sight lines near the Iron Horse Trail.

April 1998. Required by AB 1542, which was passed in 1993, thirty members of the LPC were appointed by the
County Board of Supervisors and the County Superintendent of Schools. Childcare consumers and providers,
public agency representatives, and community representatives each comprise 20% of the LPC. The remaining
20% are discretionary appointees.
Membership is for a three-year term. On January 7, 2003, membership was decreased from 30 to 25 members,
and on September 11, 2012 it was further reduced from 25 to 20 members.
Appointments to the Contra Costa County Local Planning and Advisory Council for Early Care and Education
(LPC) are subject to the approval of the Board of Supervisors and County Superintendent of Schools. The Board
of Supervisors designated the Family and Human Services Committee to review and recommend appointments on
their behalf. Dr. Pamela Comfort , Associate Superintendent, Educational Services has been designated to review
and recommend appointments on behalf of the County Superintendent of Schools. The recommendation is that
seven current members of the advisory body be reappointed.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The LPC may not meet quorum requirements and be able to conduct the Council's business.

and expand capacity for growing demand. Dell is the vendor who will supply the equipment to support these
projects. Dell has experience partnering with government agencies of all sizes to help deliver IT services that
improve delivery and reduce costs. In addition to Dell's reputation among government agencies, Office of the
Sheriff - Technical Services has a long history of working with Dell's equipment and infrastructure environment. It
would be advantageous for ARIES to leverage the knowledge, skills and experience that the Technical Services
staff has accumulated over the years by working with Dell.

BACKGROUND:
The Business Systems Manager job class is a single-position class utilized within the Law and Justice Systems
Division of the County Administrator's office. The position is responsible for directing, planning and managing the
functional development of the County's law and justice information systems (LJIS), and conducting business
analysis, change management and system re-engineering activities on behalf of the County's justice departments
(District Attorney, Probation, and Public Defender). This position coordinates, on behalf of the County Administrator,
with all local law enforcement agencies and the California Department of Justice to ensure that the LJIS and the
County's automated warrant system are meeting the information needs and requirements of the agencies.
The County's LJIS is an integrated legacy ‘green screen’ mainframe system developed in the 1980s that allows for the
sharing of data between the County's justice departments and the Superior Court. The Sheriff’s Department and other

local agencies also query this system for information.
In September 2008, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County Administrator to invite proposals for a new
computer system to replace the County’s aging LJIS. The proposal was precipitated by the Superior Court’s
announced intention to switch to a new statewide calendaring and court management system by 2012. Where in
2008 the initiative to move the Justice Partners’ case management system off of the County mainframe was
considered a strategic planning decision, it is now essential to do so for reasons extending beyond the Superior
Court's planned switch. The LJIS has served the County incredibly well for 30 years but is quickly becoming
obsolete. The employees with the institutional knowledge and technical know-how to maintain the archaic
mainframe system have recently retired and the requisite technical skill sets are difficult to attract into public
service and take many years to develop. Consequently, it is imperative to migrate all County mainframe systems
to modern platforms and the County Administrator's Office has been working ambitiously with the justice
departments to do so. The adopted strategy is to migrate these systems in a manageable sequence, beginning with
the District Attorney's Prosecutor by Karpel system, of which the first phase was implemented in 2015, and
followed by the Probation Department's implementation of the Capita Case Management System, which was
approved by the Board in March 2014 and is currently in the planning phase. A public defender case management
system will follow, as well as replacement of the automated warrant system.
With the waning of the County's mainframe system and the advent of modern, stand-alone justice systems that
must be integrated to work seamlessly with both the current mainframe system and with whatever system the
Superior Court decides to implement, the job responsibilities and duties of the Business Systems Manager have
rapidly increased in complexity, required knowledge, and consequence of error. The implementation of modern,
vendor-developed systems requires the Business Systems Manager to assume the additional duties of contract
negotiation and management, managing multiple systems on different technology platforms, managing multiple
large data conversion and system roll-out projects, developing and managing multiple system interfaces, and
coordinating system modifications across separate but integrated systems.
The Human Resources Department conducted a salary study of this classification and recommends that the class
be reallocated on the Salary Schedule to reflect the significant evolution of responsibility and complexity of the
job.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should this action not be approved, the County will be unable to appropriately compensate the Business Systems
Manager classification which has rapidly increased in complexity, required knowledge, and consequence of error.

County
Subject:Reclassify Administrative Services Assistant III and its incumbent to Sheriff's Director of Support Services
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 326
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
This request to upgrade the position is justified due to the increase in responsibility, management duties, and the
addition of supervisory of five (5) subordinate staff members. Currently Sheriff's Office administration has a
vacant Director of Support Services position which will be canceled. An Administrative Services Assistant III
position will be added to fill the resulting Grant unit vacancy.
Fiscal Impact: Zero Net County Cost due to change in the organizational structure.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the request would impede the organization structure of the Office of the Sheriff’s Personnel and
Finance units. This could result in inaccurate payroll processing that would impact every employee within the
Office of the Sheriff. This could also disrupt the Contract process with our outside vendors.

(YOBG) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016-17
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 331
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Contra Costa County Probation has used this funding for the Youthful Offender Treatment Program (YOTP) a
self-contained, phased, behavioral treatment unit for 30 residents, with enriched staffing that includes a mental health
specialist, teacher, and three deputy probation officers in addition to counseling staff, who work together running
groups and reviewing the residents' progress to see if they are ready to move forward to the next phase. The program
is cognitively based and requires the young men to work their way through and out of the program. Additional
programs include school, anger replacement, victim awareness, life skills, substance abuse counseling, family
counseling and enrichment programs. Custodial time is significant; sentencing to the maximum confinement time or
age 21, whichever comes first. The phased program addresses a common institutional problem of residents not
participating and "waiting out their time." For FY 2016-17, the estimated allocation exceeds the program cost of the
YOTP program so the balance of the funds will be used to offset the cost of a girls treatment unit in the Juvenile Hall
known as Girls in Motion (GIM). The mission of the Girls in Motion Treatment Program is to provide a safe and
structured environment that will allow adolescent female residents to achieve positive change and personal growth.
These goals will be accomplished through individualized treatment plans, individual counseling and group
programming focused to strengthen pro-social values/attitudes and restructure anti-social behaviors. The girls attend
both individual and group counseling. Probation Staff receive training on gender specific issues and lead many of the
girl’s groups. Counseling is provided by Mental Health Therapists, as well as, Community Violence Solutions,
Project Success and other community based organizations. The counseling/treatment groups address trauma issues,
relationship development, anger management/conflict resolution, and substance abuse. Treatment is also provided for
youth who have been identified as being sexually exploited to address CSEC issues (Commercially Sexually
Exploited Children).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Absent this funding from the State of California, the County would suffer a reduction in rehabilitative and
supervisory services available to youthful offenders in Contra Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) program provides state funding for counties to deliver custody and care
to youthful offenders who previously would have been committed to the California Department of Corrections &
Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act requires that the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council be chaired by
the County Probation Officer and that the Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice plan developed by this
body be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Funding from the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) will allow Contra Costa County to maintain
significant children services. JJCPA funds for the fiscal year 2016/2017 will allow for the continuation of the
important children services established during the initial year of the grant. The following summarizes the programs
proposed for ongoing funding under JJCPA:
I. The Deputy Probation Officers in the High Schools Program
Initially funded through the Challenge Grant. The Deputy Probation Officers in the High Schools Program has been
continued with funding from JJCPA. The high school program places Deputy Probation Officers in selected high
schools and special necessary schools to provide supervision and intervention services for juvenile offenders and
other at-risk youth. The program stresses collaboration among schools, police agencies and the Probation
Department to provide supervision and treatment services for youth.
II. The Community Probation Program
Continued JJCPA funding will allow Deputy Probation Officers currently stationed in various police agencies
throughout the County to continue their focus on high risk youth and chronic offenders. The Deputy Probation
Officers implementing this program work non-traditional hours and collaborate closely with police agencies, schools,
and community based organizations to help prevent offending behavior and provide appropriate accountability.
III. The Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF) Aftercare
Aftercare Deputy Probation Officers will provide community supervision and support to the minors after their
graduation from the OAYRF.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Absent this funding from the State of California, the County would suffer a reduction in delinquency prevention and
supervision services available for youth in Contra Costa County.

This program funds delinquency prevention for certain juveniles within Contra Costa County.

system of court-appointed counsel. Subsequently, in FY 1991/92, the Public Defender created an Alternate
Defender’s Office to handle conflict cases. The cases referred to the Bar Association generally represent multiple
co-defendant cases in which the Alternate Defender’s Office can represent only one co-defendant.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
conflict defense services includes only the costs associated with representing criminal and delinquency cases referred
to the Bar Association through a written affidavit of conflict by the Public Defender and the Alternate Defender. In
prior years, the contract also provided for legal representation in juvenile dependency cases. County-provided
juvenile dependency services were terminated by the Superior Court in July 2008.
The current contract with the Bar Association covers the two-year period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017 with
payment limits of $3,650,000 for each fiscal year 2015/16 and 2016/17. The proposed contract amendment will
increase the payment limit by an additional $465,000 to reflect costs associated with increased attorney caseloads
referred by the Public Defender or Alternate Defender.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Payment of criminal conflict attorney services is a mandated County cost. If the recommended action is not approved,
the contract with the Bar Association the County will remain obligated to pay the Bar for cases assigned and still in
progress. The appointment and payment of private attorneys for new conflict cases that cannot be handled by the
Alternate Defender’s Office will revert to the court-appointed method used prior to the Bar Association contract. All
active and new criminal and delinquency conflict cases will be referred to the courts for appointment of defense
counsel with the County fiscal responsible for all costs involved.

Costa
County
Subject:Consulting Services Agreement with Hawley, Peterson & Snyder, Architects for As-Needed Architectural Services
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 359
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this as-needed architectural services agreement is to provide architectural services for various County
facilities projects as they occur during the agreement period. When the Public Works Department receives a project
request, it will be determined at that time whether or not it would be prudent to utilize this as-needed architect. The
as-needed architect will provide typical architectural services, such as programming, design, and construction
administration. The types, sizes, and locations of projects will vary. Typical projects may include remodels, tenant
improvements, additions, modernization, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades, and code-related
improvements. Projects may also include investigations, studies, and reports. Some of the anticipated projects include
those identified in the County's facilities life-cycle investment program ("FLIP”) under the recent budget allocation
for capital projects and deferred maintenance. Having an as-needed agreement in place will allow the design phase to
commence sooner and provide for a shorter project completion schedule.
Hawley, Peterson & Synder, Architects was selected through a competitive qualifications-based selection process.
The Public Works Department requested Statements of Qualifications (“SOQs”), and received 28 SOQs, and ten
firms were short-listed. A selection committee comprised of County staff conducted interviews and ranked the
short-listed firms. It is recommended that the above firm be awarded the agreement and that the as-needed agreement
be approved at this time. The agreement includes a one year extension option that can be exercised by the Public
Works Director if she chooses.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the agreement is not approved, the County will not be able to take advantage of the time and cost savings possible
through the utilization of as-needed architectural services agreements.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 360
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with Cardno, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $22,424 to a new payment limit of $456,945 to
provide continued service to complete the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Shell Martinez Refinery's
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Project, with no change in the contract term of June 3, 2014 through December 31, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. All application, environmental review, and project processing fees to be paid by the
project applicant.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Conservation and Development received an application from Shell Oil Products U.S. for a Land
Use Permit for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Project (County File #LP14-2006) proposed at its Martinez refinery,
which will require physical and operational changes to several of the refinery's hydrocarbon processing units. The
Department of Conservation and Development determined that this project required the preparation of an EIR
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The County solicited qualified independent
contractors to prepare the EIR for the project, and Contract #C47772 was awarded to Cardno, Inc., who is currently
preparing the document. Several revisions to the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas sections of the EIR were required
due to Air District requirements resulting in multiple reviews and significant expenditure of funds, therefore, the
additional contract amount of $22,424 is needed in order to finish the environmental review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
Acusis, LLC provides medical transcription services at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC). Due to
a delay in contract negotiations, the Division was not able to finalize the Contract terms, yet continued to receive
services from the contractor to ensure no disruption in service.
During the period of the contract lapse, Acusis, LLC continued to provide vital medical transcription of health
assessments. Hospital Administration has therefore determined that Acusis, LLC is entitled to payment for the
reasonable value of their services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit.

members in this process. Additionally, counties must continue to be engaged in ongoing community planning
processes for MHSA annual plan updates and for any new MHSA plan. As such, in order to obtain broader
stakeholder input, gift cards allow the county to provide a way to reward those mental health consumers and their
family members who so willingly volunteer many hours to participate in the myriad MHSA planning processes. Gift
cards enable the volunteer participants to cover the expenses of their transportation to/from planning meetings and
also covers the expenses of their meals when they need to be away from home. The gift cards allow the county to
relieve the financial burden of those volunteer mental health consumer and family members who may not have the
extra funds to allow their participation. The gift cards will be administered in accordance with the requirements
outlined in Administrative Bulletin #615.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If there are no incentives available, Consumer and Family member participation and involvement will decrease
during the Community Program Planning Process, which is a required component for the Mental Health Services Act
(MHSA) Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan.

Keeps the Board of Supervisors informed about library needs and community expectations for the Library
Provides leadership in all efforts to insure a stable and adequate funding level for the libraries in the County
Improves the public’s understanding of library services and provides Library Administration with a better
understanding of the public’s needs
The County Library Commission was reviewed as part of the regular Triennial Advisory Body Review conducted
by the County Administrator's Office under the oversight of the Internal Operations Committee. When the
Triennial Review came before the IOC in 2015, the IOC asked the new County Librarian, who is also staff to the
Commission, to complete the Triennial Review questionnaire and prepare a status report on the Commission and
its work for the IOC. The review (Attachment 1) was submitted to the CAO in January 2016 and is on public file
with the Clerk of the Board's office.
The Commission is currently composed of 29 members and 29 alternates. Each BOS office and each of the 19
cities in the county appoints one member and one alternate. In addition there are “special representative” members
who are appointed by the Superintendent of Schools, the Contra Costa Central Labor Council, the Contra Costa
Council, the Friends’ Council or the Contra Costa Community College District. According to the report from the
County Librarian, the Commission's primary work and outputs during the time she has worked with them has been
to advocate for State funding (with BOS approval), share reports and information with other Commission
members that are specific to their local communities on library activities, and provide a sounding board to County
Library staff.
The County Librarian recommended to the IOC on March 28, 2016 that the Commission either be allowed to
automatically sunset on June 30, 2016 or reconfigured to reduce the size of the membership and/or the frequency
of the meetings and restructure their charge/duties. The reasons for the recommendation include the following:
The large number of the members and alternates has made it extremely difficult to recruit and keep seats
filled;
Also due to the large size of the membership, it has been very difficult for the Commission to develop a
work plan and complete work projects; and
Many of the current members serve on their local Friends groups in addition to being an appointed member
of the Commission, so their advocacy and volunteer efforts have other established avenues to positively
affect literacy efforts and library programs throughout the county.
The County Librarian has shared these recommendations with the Library Commission and the City Managers.
The County Librarian is scheduled to make presentations at the April Public Manager’s Association meeting and
the May 26 Library Commission meeting. To allow the Commission to continue to function while its future
configuration is being examined and discussed, the IOC is recommending that the Commission be extended for
six months, through December 31, 2016.

INTRODUCTION
Contra Costa County is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors elected by the citizens
of our County. The work of the Board of Supervisors is augmented by various advisory boards,
committees, or commissions, comprised of citizens who are appointed by the Board of
Supervisors. These appointed bodies are formed to provide support and citizen input by making
recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on various issues (such as service delivery
problems or community needs). County committees are created as a result of State and Federal
legislation, contractual agreements with other public agencies, or in response to specific
community needs. These citizens' advisory bodies serve as direct links between the Board of
Supervisors and our community, expand forums for communication between the public and
County government, and enhance the quality of life for our residents.
SUMMARY OF THE TRIENNIAL SUNSET REVIEW PROCESS
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2012/261 on June 26,
2012 establishing a "triennial sunset review process" for most County boards, committees and
commissions whose members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Each year the Clerk of
the Board will schedule one-third of these committees for review by the County Administrator's
Office and the Internal Operations Committee of the Board of Supervisors.
The purpose of the triennial sunset review is to provide the Board of Supervisors with a method
to periodically evaluate the ongoing purpose, performance and effectiveness of the advisory
committees. For additional information about the review procedure, please refer to Resolution
2012/261 of June 26, 2012, and to the Advisory Body Handbook.
SUBMISSION OF THE TRIENNIAL SUNSET REVIEW REPORT
The triennial sunset review report (to be completed using this questionnaire) must be signed by

III. Advisory Body Mission, Objectives, and Major Events
a. State the original purpose and responsibility of the advisory body.
The Contra Costa County Library Commission was original established in March
1991 for a two year period and has been reauthorized by both the Board of
Supervisors and the Mayor’s Conference for continuance. The original purpose and
responsibility of the Commission is five part: 1) To serve in an advisory capacity to
the Board of Supervisors and the County Librarian; 2) To provide a community
linkage to the County Library; 3) To establish a forum for the community to express
its views regarding the goals and operations of the County Library; 4) To assist the
Board of Supervisors and County Librarian to provide library services based on
assessed public need; and 5) To develop and recommend proposals to the Board of
Supervisors and County Librarian for the betterment of the County Library
including, but not limited to, such efforts as insuring a stable and adequate funding
level for the libraries in the County.
b. Please describe any major changes to advisory body responsibility which have
occurred over time, e.g. change in legal mandates or in the major activities that it
has undertaken.
There have been no major changes to the responsibilities of the Library Commission
over time. The Library Commission is not legally mandated.
c. Identify the target population or communities served by the advisory body.
The Library Commission serves as an advisory body to the County Board of
Supervisors and the County Librarian. In that capacity, their target population is
all current and regular library users, which encompasses the whole of the County
excepting the City of Richmond which has its own municipal library.

Contra Costa County 2013 Advisory Body Triennial Review Page 5
d. List regular and ongoing activities, services, and/or programs the advisory body
provides to achieve its current mission. If applicable, also list one-time or special
projects offered to achieve the mission.
The Library Commission achieves its mission through having six meetings per
year, all of which are open to the public. The Library Commission receives
presentations from Library staff on various projects and operations, so that
Commissioners are aware of and able to ask questions regarding those projects and
operations. The Library Commission meetings offer a public comment section to
allow for open feedback and communication. Library Commissioners also
frequently serve on community-specific Friends of the Library or Library
Foundation groups, which helps strengthen the linkage between the communities
and the County Library. In the past 36 months, the Library Commission has also
hosted/participated in various Town Hall meetings to encourage community
feedback on the Library’s strategic planning process.

Contra Costa County 2013 Advisory Body Triennial Review Page 6
IV. Advisory Body Organization and Structure
a. Please describe any staffing issues/challenges, i.e., vacancy rates, efforts to fill seats,
member turnover, recruitment and retention efforts.
1) The Library Commission has one Library staff person that acts as liaison, secretary, etc
for the Commission. The responsibilities for that position currently lie with a vacant
position, and the Department Head has been the main staff person for the Commission for
the past thirteen months.
2) With 29 seats and 24 appointing agencies (5 seats are through the Board of Supervisors
and the remaining 24 are dividing between the 19 cities and the 5 special districts), there
are often gaps in filled seats for different jurisdictions. Over the last 36 months, 30
Commissioners have either resigned during their term or have elected not to ask for
another term. Over the last 36 months, 30 new Commissioners have been appointed, with 8
leaving during that same period of time. It can be difficult to keep up with vacancies and
member turn over. For perspective, 16 Commissioners were Commissioners at the start of
the period 36 months ago and still sit on the Commission.
b. Please describe any changes or potential changes you could suggest in the
committee's organization, structure, number of seats, qualifications, meeting
schedule, or any other area that you believe might improve the Committee's
performance.
The Library Commission is a large organization, with 29 Library Commissioner
seats and 29 Alternate Commissioner seats. Although the Commission is not usually
full, there are regularly 35-40 members present at meetings. The structure of the
organization was set up to be provide 1:1 representation from the different Cities,
Board jurisdictions and special organizations in the County but that may also give
more seats to the “cities” than to the “county”. The Library Commission meets
every other month; some months there are multiple presentations to the
Commission and some months less depending on topics of interest to the
Commission. A concern for the Commission is its purpose; although the
Commissioners complete their task well and with passion for libraries, there is not
always much accomplished through the process that would not have already been
accomplished at the local (Friends, Foundation) level. It would be Library staff’s
recommendation to look at either a sunset for the Commission or a reduction in the
number of meetings held per year plus a reduction in the amount of seats on the
Commission.
c. What information is regularly presented to the advisory body members to keep
them informed of the body’s performance?
The Library Commission has several regular agenda items; approval of minutes,
sharing of books, State Library Funding as well as “Items of Interest to the
Commission”. This last item allows the various Commissioners to speak about what
is going on in their jurisdiction and to share successes that might be replicated in
other locations. Yearly, the Commission also includes agenda items regarding their
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 397
Contra Costa County 2013 Advisory Body Triennial Review Page 7
annual report to the Board of Supervisors and their work plan for the coming
calendar year.
d. Are the advisory body current bylaws reflective of the body’s current mission and
purpose?
Yes but meeting topics/agenda could be matched up more concisely with the
mission.
e. Do you recommend changes to the advisory body bylaws (e.g., adjustment to term
length, required qualifications, number of meetings, or primary focus)? If yes,
please state why?
No, Library staff does not recommend changes to the bylaws. The bylaws are an
accurate representations of what the Board Order requires the Commission to
complete.
f. Does the advisory body have a sufficient number of members to achieve its mission?
Do you recommend an adjustment to the number of advisory body seats (an
increase or decrease)?
The Advisory Board has a sufficient membership. Library staff would recommend a
decrease in the advisory board seats to create a more flexible Commission.
g. If you recommend making an adjustment to the number of advisory body seats,
please indicate which seats and why?
Library staff’s first recommendation would be to sunset the Commission as their
parts of their objective are being completed at the local level and other parts can be
completed via the library sites themselves (ie, public input through the Library
Administration email, the chat service, the 1-800 line, or the Ask email instead of
just through the Library Commission email). Library staff’s second
recommendation would be to reduce seats assigned to the special districts, moving
total seat count from 29 to 24. Staff see difficulty in reducing seats assigned to either
the cities or the County, as each currently has one representative per jurisdiction (5
seats for the County, one per Board seat). Library staff would recommend
removing the seat for the City of Richmond, as the County Library does not serve
the City of Richmond. Another option is to look at removing alternate seats, as
many meeting see both the Library Commissioner and the Alternate Library
Commissioner attending.
h. If special requirements or prerequisites exist for members to serve on the advisory
body, do you believe the requirements are important and necessary, or do they limit
the recruitment of potential candidates?
There are no special requirements to serve on the Library Commission.

Contra Costa County 2013 Advisory Body Triennial Review Page 8
Advisory Body Public Information Policies
a. How does the advisory body engage stakeholders and the general public about
issues and programs within the body’s area of responsibility?
The Library Commission posts its agenda and supplemental materials on the
Commission’s website, at all library locations and copies of the agenda are sent to
all city partners, the Clerk of the Board’s Office and various other locations for
public consumption. Library Commission meetings are open the public, with a
public comment period at the beginning of the meeting. Library Commissioners
tend to also be Friends of the Library or Library Foundation members, outside of
their Commission responsibilities.
b. How is stakeholder and public input incorporated into the advisory body’s mission
and objectives? Please also describe any outreach efforts to encourage public
participation in advisory body meetings and sponsored activities
The Library Commission’s mission and objectives are set out in their bylaws.
Bylaws have been reviewed and amended in 1992, 1999, and 2012. The
Commission’s mission and purpose is based on the Board Order that created the
Commission.
c. How far in advance of the meeting date does the advisory body post its meeting
notice?
Notices are required to be posted 96 hours in advance but tend to be posted one
week in advance of the meeting. Full packet information is also posted on the
Library Commission website one week in advance of the meeting.
d. Where are meeting notices posted (please note all locations)?
Official posting locations are at the Pleasant Hill Library, Library Administration,
the Walnut Creek Library and the Clerk of the Board’s Office. Agenda are also sent
to each Board of Supervisor’s office, the County Administrator’s Office, all
Community Libraries, the City of Richmond Library, and City offices. The meeting
notice and agenda packet are also uploaded onto the Commission website.

VII. Advisory Body Comments and Suggestions
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 400
Contra Costa County 2013 Advisory Body Triennial Review Page 10
a. Describe the effect the advisory body has made on the target population.
The Library Commission has been able to assist the County Librarian through its
comments and feedback on presentations provided throughout the 36 month review
period. It assisted with Town Hall meetings in support of the Library’s Strategic
Plan and provides community-level support and advocacy for library services.
b. Describe the specific impact the work of the advisory body has made in achieving its
mission.
The Library Commission has made specific impact in advocacy. A regular agenda
item is State Library Funding. The Library Commission regularly reviews
upcoming concerns regarding State and Federal Library funding, creates letters to
be approved/signed by the Board of Supervisor Chair, and advocates with their
local politicians to support stable or increased State and Federal funding.
c. Additional Comments
Please use the following space to share additional comments about the work of the
advisory body, its effectiveness, the services it provides, or any other related subject.
The Library Commission will be meeting on November 19th, 2015 and will include this
as a topic for discussion. It is planned for an ad hoc group to be formed at that meeting to
discuss the Commission’s continuance, purpose, structure, etc. Preliminary
recommendations from that ad hoc committee are expected back to the Commission at
the January meeting, with final review and approval at the March 2016 meeting. This
information will be shared back with the County Administrator’s Office at that time for
inclusion in this final review.

the County Treasury pursuant to Section 15251 of the Education Code.
Section 3. Other Actions. The Board Chair, the Clerk of the Board, the Auditor-Controller, the County Counsel, and the
Treasurer and the deputies and designees of such officers, are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver any and all

heretofore taken by such officers, officials and staff are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.
Section 4. No Liability of the County. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the District Resolution or herein, the Bonds
shall not be a debt of the County, and neither the Board nor the County, nor their respective officers, officials, agents or

shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the County and its officers and employees (“Indemnified
Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Parties may
become subject because of action or inaction related to the adoption of this resolution, or related to the proceedings for sale,
award, issuance and delivery of the Bonds in accordance herewith and with the District’s resolution and that the District shall also
reimburse any such Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any such claims or actions.
Section 6. Limited Responsibility for Official Statement. Neither the Board of Supervisors nor any officer of the County has
prepared or reviewed the official statement of the District describing the Bonds (the “Official Statement”), and this Board of
Supervisors and the various officers of the County take no responsibility for the contents or distribution thereof; provided,
however, that solely with respect to a section contained or to be contained therein describing the County’s investment policy,
current portfolio holdings, and valuation procedures, as they may relate to funds of the District held by the County Treasurer, the
County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to prepare and review such information for inclusion in the District’s Official
Statement and in a preliminary Official Statement, and to certify in writing prior to or upon the issuance of the Bonds that the
information contained in such section does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading.
Section 7. Investment of Bond Proceeds. If the proceeds of the Bonds are deposited with the County, the proceeds, and any
interest earnings thereon, whether maintained in a building fund or debt service fund, shall be invested by the County in any one

District upon any reasonable basis, including, specifically, any concerns of the County regarding the legality, structure or

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FOUND, DETERMINED AND RESOLVED BY THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE ACALANES UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT,
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Authorization for Issuance of the Bonds. To provide funds for the
payment of the 2014 Notes through their maturity date and to pay all necessary legal, financial,
engineering and contingent costs in connection therewith, the Board hereby authorizes the issuance of
the Bonds pursuant to Article 4.5 of Chapter 3 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government
Code in one or more Series of Taxable Bonds or Tax-Exempt Bonds, with appropriate designations if
more than one Series is issued, and as any combination of Current Interest Bonds, Capital Appreciation
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 409
3
Bonds and Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds, all as more fully set forth in the fully executed
Purchase Contract (as defined herein). The Board further orders such Bonds sold such that the Bonds
shall be dated as of a date to be determined by an Authorized Officer (as defined herein), shall be
payable upon such terms and provisions as shall be set forth in the Bonds, and shall be in an aggregate
principal amount not-to-exceed $15,200,000.
SECTION 2. Paying Agent. This Board hereby appoints the Paying Agent, as defined
herein, to serve as the paying agent, bond registrar, transfer agent and authentication agent for the
Bonds on behalf of the District. This Board hereby approves the payment of the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Paying Agent as they shall become due and payable. The fees and expenses of the
Paying Agent which are not paid as a cost of issuance of the Bonds may be paid in each year from ad
valorem property taxes levied and collected for the payment thereof, insofar as permitted by law,
including specifically by Section 15232 of the Education Code.
SECTION 3. Terms and Conditions of Sale. The Bonds shall be sold upon the direction
of the Superintendent (the “Superintendent”), the Chief Business Official (the “Chief Business
Official”) of the District, or such other officers or employees of the District as the Superintendent or the
Chief Business Official may designate (collectively, the “Authorized Officers”), and pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Contract. The Board hereby authorizes the sale of the
Bonds at a negotiated sale, which is determined to provide more flexibility in the timing of the sale, an
ability to implement the sale in a shorter time period, an increased ability to structure the Bonds to fit
the needs of particular purchasers, and a greater opportunity for the Underwriter (as defined herein) to
pre-market the Bonds to potential purchasers prior to the sale, all of which will contribute to the
District’s goal of achieving the lowest overall cost of funds. The Bonds shall be sold pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Contract, as described below.
SECTION 4. Approval of Purchase Contract. The form of contract for purchase and
sale of the Bonds (the “Purchase Contract”) by and between the District and RBC Capital Markets,
LLC (the “Underwriter”), substantially in the form on file with the Clerk of or Secretary to the Board,
is hereby approved and the Authorized Officers, each alone, are hereby authorized and directed to
execute such Purchase Contract at the time the Bonds are sold; provided, however, that the maximum
interest rate on the Bonds shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law and the underwriting
discount thereon, excluding original issue discount and reimbursable expenses of the Underwriter, shall
not exceed 0.215% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds issued. The Authorized Officers, each
alone, are further authorized to determine the principal amount of the Bonds to be specified in the
Purchase Contract for sale by the District up to $15,200,000 and to enter into and execute the Purchase
Contract with the Underwriter, if the conditions set forth in this Resolution are satisfied. The Board
estimates that the costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds, excluding compensation to the
Underwriter (and fees of the Bond Insurer, if any), will equal approximately 1.30% of the principal
amount of the Bonds.

Each Current Interest Bond shall be dated as of the Dated Date, and shall bear interest from the
Bond Payment Date next preceding the date of authentication thereof unless it is authenticated during
the period from the 16th day of the month next preceding any Bond Payment Date to that Bond
Payment Date, inclusive, in which event it shall bear interest from such Bond Payment Date, or unless
it is authenticated on or before the first Record Date, in which event it shall bear interest from its Dated
Date. Interest shall be payable on the respective Bond Payment Dates and shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year of 12, 30-day months.
The Capital Appreciation Bonds shall mature in the years, shall be issued in aggregate Principal
Amounts, and shall have Accretion Rates and denominations per each $5,000 in Maturity Value

Official Statement or Purchase Contract. The Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds shall mature in
the years, shall be issued in the aggregate Principal Amounts, and shall have Accretion Rates and
denominations per each $5,000 in Conversion Value as shown in such Accreted Value Table; provided,
however, that in the event that the amount shown in such Accreted Value Table and the Accreted Value
caused to be calculated by the District and approved by the Bond Insurer, if any, by application of the
definition of Accreted Value set forth in Section 5 differ, the latter amount shall be the Accreted Value
of such Capital Appreciation Bond or Convertible Capital Appreciation Bond, as applicable.
Each Capital Appreciation Bond shall be dated, and shall accrete interest from, its date of initial
delivery. Capital Appreciation Bonds will not bear interest on a current or periodic basis.

Prior to their respective Conversion Dates, each Convertible Capital Appreciation Bond shall
not bear current, periodic interest but shall accrete in value through the Conversion Date thereof, from
its Denominational Amount on the Date of Delivery thereof to its Conversion Value on the applicable
Conversion Date. No payment will be made to the Owners of Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds
on the respective Conversion Dates thereof. From and after its Conversion Date, each Convertible
Capital Appreciation Bond will bear current, periodic interest, and such interest will accrue based upon
the Conversion Value of such Bonds at the Conversion Date. Following their respective Conversion
Dates, each Convertible Capital Appreciation Bond shall bear interest from the Bond Payment Date
next preceding the date of authentication thereof, unless it is authenticated during the period from the
16th day of the month next preceding any Bond Payment Date to that Bond Payment Date, inclusive, in
which event it shall bear interest from such Bond Payment Date, or unless it is authenticated on or
before the first Record Date after the Conversion Date, in which event it will bear interest from the
Conversion Date.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the ratio of total debt service to principal for each
Series of Bonds shall not exceed four-to-one, and Capital Appreciation Bonds and Convertible Capital
Appreciation Bonds may not mature more than 25 years from their respective dates of issuance.
(b) Redemption.
(i) Terms of Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to optional or mandatory
sinking fund redemption prior to maturity as provided in the Purchase Contract or the Official
Statement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision herein, any Capital
Appreciation Bond or Convertible Capital Appreciation Bond maturing more than 10 years after its
date of issuance shall be subject to redemption before its fixed maturity date, with or without premium,
at any time, or from time to time, at the option of the District, beginning no later than the 10th
anniversary of the date such Bond is issued.
(ii) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. Whenever provision is made in this
Resolution for the optional redemption of Bonds and less than all Outstanding Bonds are to be
redeemed, the Paying Agent, upon written instruction from the District, shall select Bonds for
redemption as so directed and if not directed, in inverse order of maturity. Within a maturity, the
Paying Agent shall select Bonds for redemption as directed by the District and, if not so directed, by
lot. Redemption by lot shall be in such manner as the Paying Agent shall determine; provided,
however, that (A) the portion of any Current Interest Bond to be redeemed in part shall be in the
Principal Amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, (B) the portion of any Capital
Appreciation Bond to be redeemed in part shall be in integral multiples of the Accreted Value per
$5,000 Maturity Value thereof, and (C) the portion of any Convertible Capital Appreciation Bond to be
redeemed in part shall be in integral multiples of the Accreted Value per $5,000 Conversion Value
thereof.
The Purchase Contract may provide that (i) in the event that any portion of Term Bonds
subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption is optionally redeemed prior to maturity, the remaining
mandatory sinking fund payments with respect to such Bonds shall be reduced proportionately, or as
otherwise directed by the District, in integral multiples of $5,000 Principal Amount (or Maturity Value
or Conversion Value, as applicable), in respect of the portion of such Bonds optionally redeemed, and
(ii) within a maturity, Bonds shall be selected for redemption on a “Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution
of Principal” basis in accordance with DTC procedures, provided further that, such redemption is made
in accordance with the operational arrangements of DTC then in effect.

(iii) Notice of Redemption. When redemption is authorized or required pursuant to
Section 6(b) hereof, the Paying Agent, upon written instruction from the District, shall give notice (a
“Redemption Notice”) of the redemption of the Bonds. Such Redemption Notice shall specify: the
Bonds or designated portions thereof (in the case of redemption of the Bonds in part but not in whole)
which are to be redeemed, the date of redemption, the place or places where the redemption will be
made, including the name and address of the Paying Agent, the redemption price, the CUSIP numbers
(if any) assigned to the Bonds to be redeemed, the Bond numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed in
whole or in part and, in the case of any Bond to be redeemed in part only, the Principal Amount,
Accreted Value or Conversion Value, as applicable, to be redeemed, and the original issue date, interest
rate or Accretion Rate and stated maturity date of each Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part. Such
Redemption Notice shall further state that on the specified date there shall become due and payable
upon each Bond or portion thereof being redeemed at the redemption price thereof, together with the
interest accrued or accreted to the redemption date, and that from and after such date, interest thereon
shall cease to accrue or accrete.
The Paying Agent shall take the following actions with respect to each such Redemption
Notice:
(a) At least 20 but not more than 45 days prior to the redemption date, such
Redemption Notice shall be given to the respective Owners of Bonds designated for
redemption by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at their addresses appearing on the
Bond Register.
(b) At least 20 but not more than 45 days prior to the redemption date, such
Redemption Notice shall be given by (i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, (ii)
telephonically confirmed facsimile transmission, or (iii) overnight delivery service, to the
Securities Depository.
(c) At least 20 but not more than 45 days prior to the redemption date, such
Redemption Notice shall be given by (i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or (ii)
overnight delivery service, to one of the Information Services.
(d) Such Redemption Notice shall be given to such other persons as may be
required pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.
A certificate of the Paying Agent or the District that a Redemption Notice has been given as
provided herein shall be conclusive as against all parties. Neither failure to receive any Redemption
Notice nor any defect in any such Redemption Notice so given shall affect the sufficiency of the
proceedings for the redemption of the affected Bonds. Each check issued or other transfer of funds
made by the Paying Agent for the purpose of redeeming Bonds shall bear or include the CUSIP number
identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other
transfer. Such Redemption Notice may state that no representation is made as to the accuracy or
correctness of CUSIP numbers printed thereon, or on the Bonds.
With respect to any notice of optional redemption of Bonds (or portions thereof) pursuant to
Section 6(b)(i) hereof, unless upon the giving of such notice such Bonds or portions thereof shall be
deemed to have been defeased pursuant to Section 19 hereof, such notice shall state that such
redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by an independent escrow agent selected by the
District on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of the moneys necessary and sufficient to pay
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 417
11
the Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Bonds
(or portions thereof) to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said
notice shall be of no force and effect, no portion of the Bonds shall be subject to redemption on such
date and such Bonds shall not be required to be redeemed on such date. In the event that such
Redemption Notice contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption
shall not be made and the Paying Agent shall within a reasonable time thereafter (but in no event later
than the date originally set for redemption) give notice to the persons to whom and in the manner in
which the Redemption Notice was given that such moneys were not so received. In addition, the
District shall have the right to rescind any Redemption Notice, by written notice to the Paying Agent,
on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. The Paying Agent shall distribute a notice of rescission of
such Redemption Notice in the same manner as such Redemption Notice was originally provided.
(iv) Partial Redemption of Bonds. Upon the surrender of any Bond redeemed in
part only, the Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to the Owner thereof a new Bond or Bonds of like
tenor and maturity and of authorized denominations equal in Transfer Amount to the unredeemed
portion of the Bond surrendered. Such partial redemption shall be valid upon payment of the amount
required to be paid to such Owner, and the District shall be released and discharged thereupon from all
liability to the extent of such payment.
(v) Effect of Redemption Notice. Notice having been given as aforesaid, and the
moneys for the redemption (including the interest accrued to the applicable date of redemption) having
been set aside as provided in Section 19 hereof, the Bonds to be redeemed shall become due and
payable on such date of redemption.
If on such redemption date, money for the redemption of all the Bonds to be redeemed as
provided in Section 6(b) hereof, together with interest accrued to such redemption date, shall be held in
trust as provided in Section 19 hereof so as to be available therefor on such redemption date, and if a
Redemption Notice thereof shall have been given as aforesaid, then from and after such redemption
date, interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall cease to accrue or accrete and become payable. All
money held for the redemption of Bonds shall be held in trust for the account of the Owners of the
Bonds so to be redeemed.
(vi) Bonds No Longer Outstanding. When any Bonds (or portions thereof), which
have been duly called for redemption prior to maturity under the provisions of this Resolution, or with
respect to which irrevocable instructions to call for redemption prior to maturity at the earliest
redemption date have been given to the Paying Agent, in form satisfactory to it, and sufficient moneys
shall be held irrevocably in trust for the payment of the redemption price of such Bonds or portions
thereof, and, in the case of Current Interest Bonds and Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds after the
Conversion Date, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in this
Resolution, then such Bonds shall no longer be deemed Outstanding and shall be surrendered to the
Paying Agent for cancellation.
All Bonds paid at maturity or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 6 shall be cancelled upon surrender thereof and be delivered to or upon the order of the
District. All or any portion of a Bond purchased by the District shall be cancelled by the Paying Agent.

(c) Book-Entry System.
(i) Election of Book-Entry System. The Bonds shall initially be delivered in the
form of a separate single fully-registered bond (which may be typewritten) for each maturity date of
such Bonds in an authorized denomination. The ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the
Bond Register in the name of the Nominee, as nominee of the Depository and ownership of the Bonds,
or any portion thereof may not thereafter be transferred except as provided in Section 6(c)(i)(4).
With respect to book-entry Bonds, the District and the Paying Agent shall have no
responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any person on behalf of which such a Participant
holds an interest in such book-entry Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the
District and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy
of the records of the Depository, the Nominee, or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest
in book-entry Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person, other than an Owner as
shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to book-entry Bonds, including any Redemption
Notice, (iii) the selection by the Depository and its Participants of the beneficial interests in book-entry
Bonds to be prepaid in the event the District redeems the Bonds in part, or (iv) the payment by the
Depository or any Participant or any other person, of any amount with respect to Principal, Accreted
Value and Conversion Value of, premium, if any, or interest on the book-entry Bonds. The District
and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each book-entry Bond is
registered in the Bond Register as the absolute Owner of such book-entry Bond for the purpose of
payment of Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of, premium and interest on and to such
Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for
the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.
The Paying Agent shall pay all Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Owner, as shown in the Bond
Register, or his respective attorney duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and
effective to fully satisfy and discharge the District’s obligations with respect to payment of Principal,
Accreted Value and Conversion Value of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent
of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner, as shown in the Bond Register, shall
receive a certificate evidencing the obligation to make payments of Principal, Accreted Value and
Conversion Value of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. Upon delivery by the Depository
to the Owner and the Paying Agent, of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to
substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect to
the Record Date, the word Nominee in this Resolution shall refer to such nominee of the Depository.
1. Delivery of Letter of Representations. In order to qualify the book-entry Bonds
for the Depository’s book-entry system, the District and the Paying Agent shall execute and
deliver to the Depository a Letter of Representations. The execution and delivery of a Letter of
Representations shall not in any way impose upon the District or the Paying Agent any
obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having interests in such book-entry Bonds other
than the Owners, as shown on the Bond Register. By executing a Letter of Representations, the
Paying Agent shall agree to take all action necessary at all times so that the District will be in
compliance with all representations of the District in such Letter of Representations. In
addition to the execution and delivery of a Letter of Representations, the District and the
Paying Agent shall take such other actions, not inconsistent with this Resolution, as are
reasonably necessary to qualify book-entry Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry program.

2. Selection of Depository. In the event (i) the Depository determines not to
continue to act as securities depository for book-entry Bonds, or (ii) the District determines that
continuation of the book-entry system is not in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners of the
Bonds or the District, then the District will discontinue the book-entry system with the
Depository. If the District determines to replace the Depository with another qualified
securities depository, the District shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single,
separate, fully registered bond for each maturity date of such Outstanding book-entry Bond,
registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its
Nominee as provided in subsection (4) hereof. If the District fails to identify another qualified
securities depository to replace the Depository, then the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to
being registered in such Bond Register in the name of the Nominee, but shall be registered in
whatever name or names the Owners transferring or exchanging such Bonds shall designate, in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).
3. Payments and Notices to Depository. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Resolution to the contrary, so long as all Outstanding Bonds are held in book-entry form
and registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments by the District or the Paying Agent
with respect to Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of, premium, if any, or interest
on the Bonds and all notices with respect to such Bonds, including Redemption Notices, shall
be made and given, respectively to the Nominee, as provided in the Letter of Representations or
as otherwise required or instructed by the Depository and agreed to by the Paying Agent
notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions herein.
4. Transfer of Bonds to Substitute Depository.
(A) The Bonds shall be initially issued as described in the Official Statement
described herein. Registered ownership of such Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not
thereafter be transferred except:
(1) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, or of any substitute
depository designated pursuant to Section 6(c)(i)(4)(A)(2) (“Substitute Depository”);
provided that any successor of DTC or Substitute Depository shall be qualified under
any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be provided by it;
(2) to any Substitute Depository, upon (1) the resignation of DTC
or its successor (or any Substitute Depository or its successor) from its functions as
depository, or (2) a determination by the District that DTC (or its successor) is no
longer able to carry out its functions as depository; provided that any such Substitute
Depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services
proposed to be provided by it; or
(3) to any person as provided below, upon (1) the resignation of
DTC or its successor (or any Substitute Depository or its successor) from its functions
as depository, or (2) a determination by the District that DTC or its successor (or
Substitute Depository or its successor) is no longer able to carry out its functions as
depository.
(B) In the case of any transfer pursuant to Section 6(c)(i)(4)(A)(1) or (2), upon
receipt of all Outstanding Bonds by the Paying Agent, together with a written request of the
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 420
14
District to the Paying Agent designating the Substitute Depository, a single new Bond, which
the District shall prepare or cause to be prepared, shall be executed and delivered for each
maturity of Bonds then Outstanding, registered in the name of such successor or such
Substitute Depository or their Nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such written
request of the District. In the case of any transfer pursuant to Section 6(c)(i)(4)(A)(3), upon
receipt of all Outstanding Bonds by the Paying Agent, together with a written request of the
District to the Paying Agent, new Bonds, which the District shall prepare or cause to be
prepared, shall be executed and delivered in such denominations and registered in the names of
such persons as are requested in such written request of the District, provided that the Paying
Agent shall not be required to deliver such new Bonds within a period of less than sixty (60)
days from the date of receipt of such written request from the District.
(C) In the case of a partial redemption or an advance refunding of any Bonds
evidencing a portion of the Principal, Maturity Value, or Conversion Value maturing in a
particular year, DTC or its successor (or any Substitute Depository or its successor) shall make
an appropriate notation on such Bonds indicating the date and amounts of such reduction in
Principal, Maturity Value or Conversion Value, in form acceptable to the Paying Agent, all in
accordance with the Letter of Representations. The Paying Agent shall not be liable for such
Depository’s failure to make such notations or errors in making such notations.
(D) The District and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to treat the person in whose
name any Bond is registered as the Owner thereof for all purposes of this Resolution and any
applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the Paying Agent or the
District; and the District and the Paying Agent shall not have responsibility for transmitting
payments to, communicating with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any Beneficial Owners
of the Bonds. Neither the District nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or
obligation, legal or otherwise, to any such Beneficial Owners or to any other party, including
DTC or its successor (or Substitute Depository or its successor), except to the Owner of any
Bonds, and the Paying Agent may rely conclusively on its records as to the identity of the
Owners of the Bonds.
SECTION 7. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be signed by the President of the
Board, or other member of the Board authorized to sign on behalf of the President, by his or her manual
or facsimile signature and countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary to or
Clerk of the Board, or the designee thereof, all in their official capacities. No Bond shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless
and until the certificate of authentication printed on the Bond is signed by the Paying Agent as
authenticating agent. Authentication by the Paying Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond
so authenticated has been duly issued, signed and delivered under this Resolution and is entitled to the
security and benefit of this Resolution.
SECTION 8. Paying Agent; Transfer and Exchange. So long as any of the Bonds
remain Outstanding, the District will cause the Paying Agent to maintain and keep at its principal office
all books and records necessary for the registration, exchange and transfer of the Bonds as provided in
this Section. Subject to the provisions of Section 9 below, the person in whose name a Bond is
registered on the Bond Register shall be regarded as the absolute Owner of that Bond for all purposes
of this Resolution. Payment of or on account of the Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value
of, premium, if any, and interest on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of such Owner;
neither the District nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, but the
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 421
15
registration may be changed as provided in this Section. All such payments shall be valid and effectual
to satisfy and discharge the District’s liability upon the Bonds, including interest, to the extent of the
amount or amounts so paid.
Any Bond may be exchanged for a Bond of like Series, tenor, maturity and Transfer Amount
upon presentation and surrender at the principal office of the Paying Agent, together with a request for
exchange signed by the Owner or by a person legally empowered to do so in a form satisfactory to the
Paying Agent. A Bond may be transferred on the Bond Register only upon presentation and surrender
of the Bond at the principal office of the Paying Agent together with an assignment executed by the
Owner or by a person legally empowered to do so in a form satisfactory to the Paying Agent. Upon
exchange or transfer, the Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver a new bond or bonds of
like tenor and of any authorized denomination or denominations requested by the Owner equal to the
Transfer Amount of the Bond surrendered and bearing or accruing interest at the same rate and
maturing on the same date. Current Interest Bonds, Capital Appreciation Bonds and Convertible
Capital Appreciation Bonds may not be exchanged for one another.
If any Bond shall become mutilated, the District, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond,
shall execute, and the Paying Agent shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like Series,
tenor, maturity and Transfer Amount in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only
upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Bond so mutilated. If any Bond issued hereunder shall be
lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Paying
Agent and, if such evidence be satisfactory to the Paying Agent and indemnity for the Paying Agent
and the District satisfactory to the Paying Agent shall be given by the Owner, the District, at the
expense of the Owner, shall execute, and the Paying Agent shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a
new Bond of like Series, tenor, maturity and Transfer Amount in lieu of and in substitution for the
Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have matured or shall have been called for
redemption, instead of issuing a substitute Bond the Paying Agent may pay the same without surrender
thereof upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Paying Agent and the District). The Paying Agent
may require payment of a reasonable fee for each new Bond issued under this paragraph and of the
expenses which may be incurred by the District and the Paying Agent.
If signatures on behalf of the District are required in connection with an exchange or transfer,
the Paying Agent shall undertake the exchange or transfer of Bonds only after the new Bonds are
signed by the authorized officers of the District. In all cases of exchanged or transferred Bonds, the
District shall sign and the Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution. All fees and costs of transfer shall be paid by the requesting party.
Those charges may be required to be paid before the procedure is begun for the exchange or transfer.
All Bonds issued upon any exchange or transfer shall be valid obligations of the District, evidencing
the same debt, and entitled to the same security and benefit under this Resolution as the Bonds
surrendered upon that exchange or transfer.
Any Bond surrendered to the Paying Agent for payment, retirement, exchange, replacement or
transfer shall be cancelled by the Paying Agent. The District may at any time deliver to the Paying
Agent for cancellation any previously authenticated and delivered Bonds that the District may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and those Bonds shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent.
Written reports of the surrender and cancellation of Bonds shall be made to the District by the Paying
Agent as requested by the District. The cancelled Bonds shall be retained for three years, then returned
to the District or destroyed by the Paying Agent as directed by the District.

transfer or check mailed to such Owner on the Bond Payment Date at his or her address as it appears on
such registration books or at such other address as he or she may have filed with the Paying Agent for
that purpose on or before the Record Date. The Owner in an aggregate Principal Amount, Conversion
Value or Maturity Value of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or more may request in writing to the
Paying Agent that such Owner be paid interest by wire transfer to the bank and account number on file
with the Paying Agent as of the Record Date. The Principal, and redemption premiums, if any, payable
on the Current Interest Bonds, the Accreted Value and redemption premiums, if any, on the Capital
Appreciation Bonds, and the Conversion Value and redemption premiums, if any, on Convertible
Capital Appreciation Bonds shall be payable upon maturity or redemption upon surrender at the
principal office of the Paying Agent. The Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of, and
premiums, if any, and interest on, the Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of
America. The Paying Agent is hereby authorized to pay the Bonds when duly presented for payment at
maturity, and to cancel all Bonds upon payment thereof. The Bonds are obligations of the District
payable solely from the levy of ad valorem property taxes upon all property within the District subject
to taxation, which taxes shall be without limit as to rate or amount. The Bonds do not constitute an
obligation of the County except as provided in this Resolution, and no part of any fund of the County is
pledged or obligated to the payment of the Bonds.

Exhibit A hereto, allowing those officials executing the Bonds to make the insertions and deletions
necessary to conform the Bonds to this Resolution and the Purchase Contract.

paid to the County to the credit of the fund hereby authorized to be created to be known as the
“Acalanes Union High School District Election of 2008 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2016C
Building Fund” (the “Building Fund”) of the District, shall be kept separate and distinct from all other
District and County funds, and those proceeds shall be used solely for the purpose for which the Bonds
are being issued and provided further that such proceeds shall be applied solely to the purposes
authorized by the voters of the District at the Election. The County shall have no responsibility for
assuring the proper use of the Bond proceeds by the District. The Building Fund may contain
subaccounts if the Bonds are issued in more than one Series.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of the Bonds received by the District allocable to
the repayment of the 2014 Notes, and other funds of the District lawfully available for the purpose of
repaying the 2014 Notes, are authorized to be deposited into an escrow fund created for the purpose
therefor. The escrow agreement for the deposit and investment of proceeds of the Bonds designated for
the payment of the 2014 Notes, by and between District and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Compnay, N.A., as escrow agent therefor, substantially in the form on file with the Secretary to the

and deliver the Escrow Agreement, with such changes therein, deletions therefrom and modifications
thereto as the Authorized Officer executing the same may approve, such approval to be conclusively
evidenced by his or her execution and delivery thereof.
The purchase price received from the Underwriter pursuant to the Purchase Contract, to the
extent of any accrued interest and any net original issue premium, shall be kept separate and apart in
the fund hereby authorized to be created and designated as the “Acalanes Union High School District
Election of 2008 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2016C Debt Service Fund” (the “Debt Service
Fund”) for the Bonds and used for payment of Principal of and interest on the Bonds, and for no other
purpose. The Debt Service Fund may contain subaccounts if the Bonds are issued in more than one
Series. Interest earnings on monies held in the Building Fund shall be retained in the Building Fund.
Interest earnings on monies held in the Debt Service Fund shall be retained in the Debt Service Fund.
Any excess proceeds of the Bonds not needed for the authorized purposes set forth herein for which the
Bonds are being issued upon written notice from the District shall be transferred to the Debt Service
Fund and applied to the payment of the Principal of and interest on the Bonds. If, after payment in full
of the Bonds, there remain excess proceeds, any such excess amounts shall be transferred to the general
fund of the District.
The costs of issuance of the Bonds are hereby authorized to be paid either from premium
withheld by the Underwriter upon the sale of the Bonds, or from the Principal Amount of the Bonds
received from the Underwriter. To the extent costs of issuance are paid from such Principal Amount,
the District may direct that a portion thereof, in an amount not-to-exceed 2.0% of such Principal
Amount, in lieu of being deposited into the Building Fund, be deposited in a costs of issuance account
to be held by a fiscal agent of the District appointed for such purpose. Any excess moneys in the cost
of issuance account remaining after payment of all costs of issuance shall be transferred to the County
for deposit into the Building Fund or Debt Service Fund, as appropriate.
(b) Moneys in the Debt Service Fund and the Building Fund shall be invested in Permitted
Investments. If at the time of issuance the District determines to issue the Bonds as Tax-Exempt Bonds
without regard to the Internal Revenue Code “temporary period” restrictions, all investment of Bond

SECTION 13. Rebate Fund. The following provisions shall apply to any Bonds issued as
Tax-Exempt Bonds.
(a) The District shall create and establish a special fund designated the “Acalanes Union
High School District Election of 2008 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2016C Rebate Fund” (the
“Rebate Fund”). All amounts at any time on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be held in trust, to the
extent required to satisfy the requirement to make rebate payments to the United States (the “Rebate
Requirement”) pursuant to Section 148 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”). Such amounts shall be free and clear of any lien hereunder
and shall be governed by this Section and by the Tax Certificate to be executed by the District in
connection with the Tax-Exempt Bonds (the “Tax Certificate”).
(b) Within 45 days of the end of each fifth Bond Year (as such term is defined in the Tax
Certificate), (1) the District shall calculate or cause to be calculated with respect to the Bonds the
amount that would be considered the “rebate amount” within the meaning of Section 1.148-3 of the
Treasury Regulations, using as the “computation date” for this purpose the end of such Bond Year, and
(2) the District shall deposit to the Rebate Fund from amounts on deposit in the other funds established
hereunder or from other District funds, if and to the extent required, amounts sufficient to cause the
balance in the Rebate Fund to be equal to the “rebate amount” so calculated. The District shall not be
required to deposit any amount to the Rebate Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, if the
amount on deposit in the Rebate Fund prior to the deposit required to be made under this subsection (b)
equals or exceeds the “rebate amount” calculated in accordance with the preceding sentence. Such
excess may be withdrawn from the Rebate Fund to the extent permitted under subsection (g) of this
Section. The District shall not be required to calculate the “rebate amount” and shall not be required to
deposit any amount to the Rebate Fund in accordance with this subsection (b), with respect to all or a
portion of the proceeds of the Bonds (including amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds) (1) to the
extent such proceeds satisfy the expenditure requirements of Section 148(f)(4)(B) or
Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code or Section 1.148-7(d) of the Treasury Regulations, whichever is
applicable, and otherwise qualify for the exception to the Rebate Requirement pursuant to whichever of
said sections is applicable, (2) to the extent such proceeds are subject to an election by the District
under Section 148(f)(4)(C)(vii) of the Code to pay a one and one-half percent (1½%) penalty in lieu of
arbitrage rebate in the event any of the percentage expenditure requirements of Section 148(f)(4)(C) are
not satisfied, or (3) to the extent such proceeds qualify for the exception to arbitrage rebate under
Section 148(f)(4)(A)(ii) of the Code for amounts in a “bona fide debt service fund.” In such event, and
with respect to such amounts, the District shall not be required to deposit any amount to the Rebate
Fund in accordance with this subsection (b).
(c) Any funds remaining in the Rebate Fund after redemption of all the Bonds and any
amounts described in paragraph (2) of subsection (d) of this Section, or provision made therefor
satisfactory to the District, including accrued interest, shall be remitted to the District.
(d) Subject to the exceptions contained in subsection (b) of this Section to the requirement
to calculate the “rebate amount” and make deposits to the Rebate Fund, the District shall pay to the
United States, from amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund,
(1) not later than 60 days after the end of (i) the fifth Bond Year, and (ii) each fifth
Bond Year thereafter, an amount that, together with all previous rebate payments, is equal to at
least 90% of the “rebate amount” calculated as of the end of such Bond Year in accordance
with Section 1.148-3 of the Treasury Regulations; and
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 426
20
(2) not later than 60 days after the payment of all Bonds, an amount equal to 100%
of the “rebate amount” calculated as of the date of such payment (and any income attributable
to the “rebate amount” determined to be due and payable) in accordance with Section 1.148-3
of the Treasury Regulations.
(e) In the event that, prior to the time any payment is required to be made from the Rebate
Fund, the amount in the Rebate Fund is not sufficient to make such payment when such payment is
due, the District shall calculate (or have calculated) the amount of such deficiency and deposit an
amount equal to such deficiency into the Rebate Fund prior to the time such payment is due.
(f) Each payment required to be made pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section shall be
made to the Internal Revenue Service, on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall be
accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-T, such form to be prepared or caused to be
prepared by the District.
(g) In the event that immediately following the calculation required by subsection (b) of
this Section, but prior to any deposit made under said subsection, the amount on deposit in the Rebate
Fund exceeds the “rebate amount” calculated in accordance with said subsection, the District may
withdraw the excess from the Rebate Fund and credit such excess to the Debt Service Fund.
(h) The District shall retain records of all determinations made hereunder until three years
after the complete retirement of the Bonds.
(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution to the contrary, the Rebate Requirement
shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds.
SECTION 14. Security for the Bonds. There shall be levied on all the taxable property in
the District, in addition to all other taxes, a continuing direct ad valorem property tax annually during
the period the Bonds are Outstanding in an amount sufficient to pay the Principal, Accreted Value and
Conversion Value of and interest on the Bonds when due, which moneys when collected will be
deposited in the Debt Service Fund of the District, and which fund is hereby designated for the
payment of the Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of and interest on the Bonds when and
as the same shall fall due, and for no other purpose. Pursuant to Government Code Sections 5450 and
5451, moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Fund are hereby pledged to the payment of the Principal,
Accreted Value and Conversion Value of and interest on the Bonds. The District covenants to cause
the County to take all actions necessary to levy such ad valorem property tax in accordance with this
Section 14.
The Bonds shall, pursuant to Government Code Section 53515, be secured by a statutory lien
on all revenues received pursuant to the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes for the payment of the
Bonds.
Pursuant to Government Code sections 5450 and 5451, the District hereby pledges all revenues
received from the levy and collection ad valorem taxes for the payment of the Bonds and all amounts
on deposit in the Debt Service Fund to the payment of the Bonds. Such pledge shall constitute a lien on
and security interest in such taxes and amounts in the Debt Service Fund. This pledge shall constitute
an agreement between the District and the Owners of the Bonds to provide security for the payment of
the Bonds in addition to any statutory lien that may exist.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 427
21
The moneys in the Debt Service Fund, to the extent necessary to pay the Principal, Accreted
Value and Conversion Value of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable, shall
be transferred by the Treasurer to the Paying Agent which, in turn, shall pay such moneys to DTC to
pay such Principal, Accreted Value, Conversion Value and interest. DTC will thereupon make
payments of Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of and interest on the Bonds to the DTC
Participants who will thereupon make payments of such Principal, Accreted Value, Conversion Value
and interest to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. Any moneys remaining in the Debt Service Fund
after the Bonds and the interest thereon have been paid in full, or provision for such payment has been
made, shall be transferred to the general fund of the District, pursuant to Education Code Section
15234.
SECTION 15. Arbitrage Covenant. The District covenants that it will restrict the use of
the proceeds of the Bonds in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, so that the
Bonds will not constitute arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code and the applicable regulations
prescribed thereunder or any predecessor section. Calculations for determining arbitrage requirements
are the sole responsibility of the District.
SECTION 16. Conditions Precedent. The Board determines that all acts and conditions
necessary to be performed by the Board or to have been met precedent to and in the issuing of the
Bonds in order to make them legal, valid and binding general obligations of the District have been
performed and have been met, or will at the time of delivery of the Bonds have been performed and
have been met, in regular and due form as required by law; and that no statutory or constitutional
limitation of indebtedness or taxation will have been exceeded in the issuance of the Bonds.
SECTION 17. Official Statement. The Preliminary Official Statement relating to the
Bonds, substantially in the form on file with the Clerk of or Secretary to the Board is hereby approved
and the Authorized Officers, each alone, are hereby authorized and directed, for and in the name and on
behalf of the District, to deliver such Preliminary Official Statement to the Underwriter to be used in
connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds. The Authorized Officers, each alone, are hereby
authorized and directed, for and in the name and on behalf of the District, to deem the Preliminary
Official Statement “final” pursuant to 15c2-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to its
distribution and to execute and deliver to the Underwriter a final Official Statement, substantially in the
form of the Preliminary Official Statement, with such changes therein, deletions therefrom and
modifications thereto as the Authorized Officer executing the same shall approve. The Underwriter is
hereby authorized to distribute copies of the Preliminary Official Statement to persons who may be
interested in the purchase of the Bonds and is further directed to deliver copies of any final Official
Statement to the purchasers of the Bonds. Execution of the Official Statement shall conclusively
evidence the District’s approval of the Official Statement.
SECTION 18. Insurance. In the event the District purchases bond insurance for the Bonds,
and to the extent that the Bond Insurer makes payment of the Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion
Value of or interest on the Bonds, it shall become the Owner of such Bonds with the right to payment
of such Principal, Accreted Value, Conversion Value or interest, and shall be fully subrogated to all of
the Owners’ rights, including the Owners’ rights to payment thereof. To evidence such subrogation (i)
in the case of subrogation as to claims that were past due interest components, the Paying Agent shall
note the Bond Insurer’s rights as subrogee on the Bond Register for the Bonds maintained by the
Paying Agent upon receipt of a copy of the cancelled check issued by the Bond Insurer for the payment
of such interest to the Owners of the Bonds, and (ii) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due
Principal, Conversion Value or Accreted Value, the Paying Agent shall note the Bond Insurer as
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 428
22
subrogee on the Bond Register for the Bonds maintained by the Paying Agent upon surrender of the
Bonds by the Owners thereof to the Bond Insurer or the insurance trustee for the Bond Insurer.
SECTION 19. Defeasance. All or any portion of the Outstanding maturities of the Bonds
may be defeased prior to maturity in the following ways:
(a) Cash: by irrevocably depositing with an independent escrow agent selected by
the District an amount of cash which together with amounts transferred from the Debt Service
Fund, if any, is sufficient to pay all Bonds Outstanding and designated for defeasance
(including all Principal, Accreted Value or Conversion Value thereof, accrued interest thereon
and redemption premiums, if any) at or before their maturity date; or
(b) Government Obligations: by irrevocably depositing with an independent
escrow agent selected by the District noncallable Government Obligations together with cash,
if required, and amounts transferred from the Debt Service Fund, in such amount as will,
together with interest to accrue thereon, in the opinion of an independent certified public
accountant, be fully sufficient to pay and discharge all Bonds Outstanding and designated for
defeasance (including all Principal, Accreted Value or Conversion Value thereof, accrued
interest thereon and redemption premiums, if any) at or before their maturity date;
then, notwithstanding that any of such Bonds shall not have been surrendered for payment, all
obligations of the District with respect to all such designated Outstanding Bonds shall cease and
terminate, except only the obligation of the independent escrow agent selected by the District to pay or
cause to be paid from funds deposited pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, to the Owners of
such designated Bonds not so surrendered and paid all sums due with respect thereto.
For purposes of this Section, Government Obligations shall mean:
Direct and general obligations of the United States of America, or obligations that are
unconditionally guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States of America (which
may consist of obligations of the Resolution Funding Corporation that constitute interest strips).
In the case of direct and general obligations of the United States of America, Government
Obligations shall include evidences of direct ownership of proportionate interests in future
interest or principal payments of such obligations. Investments in such proportionate interests
must be limited to circumstances where (i) a bank or trust company acts as custodian and holds
the underlying United States obligations; (ii) the owner of the investment is the real party in
interest and has the right to proceed directly and individually against the obligor of the
underlying United States obligations; and (iii) the underlying United States obligations are held
in a special account, segregated from the custodian’s general assets, and are not available to
satisfy any claim of the custodian, any person claiming through the custodian, or any person to
whom the custodian may be obligated; provided that such obligations are rated or assessed at
least as high as direct and general obligations of the United States of America by either
Moody’s or S&P.
SECTION 20. Nonliability of County. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in the Bonds or in any other document mentioned herein, neither the County, nor its officials,
officers, employees or agents shall have any liability hereunder or by reason hereof or in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Bonds are not a debt of the County or a pledge of the
County’s full faith and credit, and the Bonds and any liability in connection therewith shall be paid
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 429
23
solely from ad valorem property taxes lawfully levied to pay the Principal, Accreted Value and
Conversion Value of or interest on the Bonds, which taxes shall be unlimited as to rate or amount.
SECTION 21. Reimbursement of County Costs. The District shall reimburse the County
for all costs and expenses incurred by the County, its officials, officers, agents and employees in
issuing or otherwise in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
SECTION 22. Indemnification. The District shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the
extent permitted by law, the County and its officers and employees (“Indemnified Parties”), against any
and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Parties may
become subject because of action or inaction related to the adoption of a resolution by the County
Board of Supervisors providing for the issuance and sale of the Bonds, or related to the proceedings for
sale, award, issuance and delivery of the Bonds in accordance therewith and herewith. The District
shall also reimburse any such Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claims or actions.
SECTION 23. Request to County to Levy Tax. The Board of Supervisors and officers of
the County are obligated by statute to provide for the levy and collection of ad valorem property taxes
in each year sufficient to pay all Principal, Accreted Value and Conversion Value of and interest
coming due on the Bonds in such year, and to pay from such taxes all amounts due on the Bonds. The
District hereby requests the Board of Supervisors to annually levy a tax upon all taxable property in the
District sufficient to pay all such Principal, Accreted Value, Conversion Value and interest coming due
on the Bonds in such year, and to pay from such taxes all amounts due on the Bonds. The Board
hereby finds and determines that such ad valorem taxes shall be levied specifically to pay the Bonds
being issued to finance specific projects authorized by the voters of the District at the Election.
SECTION 24. Other Actions. (a) Officers of the Board and District officials and staff are
hereby authorized and directed, jointly and severally, to do any and all things and to execute and
deliver any and all documents which they may deem necessary or advisable in order to proceed with
the issuance of the Bonds and otherwise carry out, give effect to and comply with the terms and intent
of this Resolution. Such actions heretofore taken by such officers, officials and staff are hereby
ratified, confirmed and approved.

Markets, LLC, as the Underwriter, and Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation,
as Bond Counsel and Disclosure Counsel, each with respect to the issuance of the Bonds.

repayment ratio and estimated change in assessed valuation of taxable property within the District over
the term of the Bonds. Such disclosure is appended in satisfaction of Section 15146(b)(1)(E) of the
Education Code, and shall not abrogate or otherwise limit any provision of this Resolution.

life of any facility financed with such Long Current Interest Bonds will equal or exceed the maturity of
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 430

such Long Current Interest Bonds, as shall be further evidenced by a certificate of the District
substantially to such effect.
SECTION 25. Resolution to County Treasurer. The Secretary to this Board is hereby
directed to provide a certified copy of this Resolution to the Treasurer immediately following its
adoption.
SECTION 26. Continuing Disclosure. The District hereby covenants and agrees that it
will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate
executed by the District and dated as of the Dated Date, as originally executed and as it may be

treat the Registered Owner as the absolute owner of this bond for the purpose of receiving payment of

Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the District nor the Paying Agent will be required to (a) issue or transfer any Bond

take place more than 21 days after the previous review.
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the provisions of
Government Code Section 8630 on homelessness in Contra Costa County.
With the continuing high number of homeless individuals and insufficient funding available to assist in sheltering all
homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for

including how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies.
Additionally, it enables OPR to track progress on a local jurisdiction’s General Plan in terms of its
comprehensiveness and consistency with the current OPR General Plan Guidelines and other State mandates.
There is no standardized form or format for preparation of the General Plan annual progress report. OPR leaves it
up to each jurisdiction to determine what locally relevant issues are important to include, but they do suggest
general content to cover within the report. The attached report covering calendar year 2015 follows the general
guidance of OPR in terms of content.
Staff notes that under a separate section of the Government Code, all local jurisdictions are required to submit to
HCD a report on certain housing information, including the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its share of regional
housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing. On April 12,
2016, the Board of Supervisors accepted the County's Housing Element implementation report for 2015 and the
Department of Conservation and Development submitted the report to HCD. Information in that report to HCD is
incorporated into the attached General Plan annual progress report.
Staff calls to the Board’s attention the County’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs. Current
data indicates that through calendar year 2015, the first year of the current eight-year Housing Element cycle, the
County has issued building permits for 25.5 percent of its allocated share of the region’s housing needs. While the
data indicates the County has made significant progress in achieving gross housing production goals, production
of housing available to those in the low- and very low-income categories has been stagnant, constituting only 2.2
percent of building permits issued for new residential units in 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None. The purpose of this report is to provide an update to the Board of Supervisors on General Plan
implementation, as required by State law.

I. INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE OF ANNUAL REPORT
The intent of this report is to demonstrate the County’s compliance with California Government
Code section 65400(b)(1), which mandates that all cities and counties submit to their legislative
bodies an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation. A
copy of this report will, as required under the statute, be provided to the Governor’s Office of
Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). A separate report was provided to HCD on April 12, 2016, in fulfillment of
another statutory requirement to report certain housing information, including the County’s
progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove
governmental constraints to the development of housing, as defined in Government Code
sections 65584 and 65583(c)(3).
In compliance with Section 65400(b)(1) of the Government Code, this report covering calendar
year 2015 has been prepared for the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors’ consideration
and acceptance. This report:
1. Summarizes the status of the Contra Costa County General Plan and describes steps
that have been taken to implement General Plan policies in calendar year 2015;
2. Provides a summary of General Plan Amendments (GPAs) that were approved by the
Board of Supervisors in 2015;
3. Describes Housing Element implementation, specifically the County’s progress in
meeting its share of the regional housing needs over the current reporting period
(current Housing Element cycle) and on the efforts to remove governmental
constraints to maintenance, improvement, and development of housing pursuant to
Government Code Section 65583; and
4. Concludes with a discussion on goals, objectives, and work activities related to
General Plan implementation for calendar year 2016.
II. GENERAL PLAN STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION
A. GENERAL PLAN BACKGROUND
The Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is a division of
the planning agency for the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County, and it is responsible
for the proper preparation and administration of the General Plan (County Ordinance Code §
26-2.808(1)). The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted a comprehensive
General Plan in January 1991 following an extensive public outreach and participation process
initiated in 1986. This comprehensively updated General Plan superseded the County’s prior
General Plan (and each of the previously adopted elements), and consolidated several area-
specific General Plans into one plan document.
The General Plan was re-adopted by the Board of Supervisors in July 1996 to consolidate
General Plan Amendments approved between 1991 to 1995 and to correct minor errors and
omissions discovered in the original 1991 General Plan text. This reconsolidation of the County
General Plan covered the period from 1995 through 2010. The General Plan was re-adopted
again by the Board of Supervisors in January 2005 to consolidate General Plan Amendments
adopted between 1995 and 2004, to revise text and maps to reflect the 1999 incorporation of
the City of Oakley (formerly an unincorporated community that was covered under the County
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 464
General Plan), and to incorporate the Housing Element updated in 2001. The second County
General Plan reconsolidation covers the period from 2005 through 2020.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65302, there are seven mandatory elements to a
General Plan. Each of the mandatory elements in the Contra Costa County General Plan was
prepared and/or updated in full compliance with the General Plan Guidelines, as established by
the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. Table 1 indicates the status of the seven
mandatory elements for the Contra Costa County General Plan, including the year the element
was first adopted and the year the element was last revised:
TABLE 1: STATUS OF MANDATORY GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS

Housing 19701 2014
Conservation 1973 2005
Open Space 1973 2005
Safety 1975 2005
Noise 1975 2005
B. ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS, CALENDAR YEAR 2015
The Board of Supervisors adopted four amendments to the Contra Costa County General Plan
during calendar year 2015. The following summarizes these amendments.
1st Consolidated General Plan Amendment
Heritage Point Mixed-Use Project (County File GP#13-0004): Changed the General Plan
land use designations from Commercial (CO) and Single-Family Residential – High
Density (SH) to Mixed Use (MU). GPA was combined with applications for a minor
subdivision and final development plan for a mixed-use project consisting of 42 multiple-
family residential units and approximately 3,500 square feet of commercial space.
Approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 5, 2015.
2nd Consolidated General Plan Amendment
QLC – Pomona Street/Rolph Park Subdivision (County File GP#09-0002): Changed the
General Plan land use designation from Open Space (OS) to Single-Family Residential –
High Density (SH). GPA was combined with an application for a major subdivision for a
nine-unit single-family residential project. Approved by the Board of Supervisors on July
28, 2015.
3rd Consolidated General Plan Amendment
Driftwood Estates (County File GP#13-0002): Changed the General Plan land use
designation from Single-Family Residential – Medium Density (SM) to Single-Family
Residential – High Density (SH). GPA was combined with applications for a major
1 A preliminary Housing Element was approved in 1970 - one year after State legislation established the Housing Element as a
mandatory element to the General Plan. Following new statutory requirements for Housing Elements established in the mid-
1970s, the Housing Element was formally adopted by the Board of Supervisors in December 1980. The element was
subsequently updated through the State-mandated Housing Element update process in 1985, 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2009.
The current Housing Element, adopted on December 2, 2014, was certified by HCD in March 11, 2015.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 465
subdivision and final development plan for a 50-unit single-family residential project.
Approved by the Board of Supervisors on July 28, 2015.
4th Consolidated General Plan Amendment
Pantages Bays (County File #GP99-0008): Changed General Plan land use designations
from Agricultural Lands (AL) and Delta Recreation (DR) to Single-Family Residential –
Medium Density (SM) and Single-Family Residential – High Density (SH). General Plan
Amendment was combined with applications for a rezoning, major subdivision, and final
development plan for a 292-unit single-family residential project. Approved by the Board of
Supervisors on October 6, 2015.
C. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES RELATED TO
GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION INITIATED IN 2015
DCD maintains the County General Plan and oversees its implementation. Proposals to amend
the General Plan, either from the private sector or County-initiated, must be authorized by the
Board of Supervisors acting in its capacity as the legislative body for unincorporated Contra
Costa County. In calendar year 2015 the Board of Supervisors authorized the following General
Plan Amendment study:
Sterling Consultants GPA Study (County File: GP#15-0002): Consider a change to
the General Plan Land Use Element Map to re-designate a 1.02-acre site from
Single-Family Residential – Medium Density (SM) to Single-Family Residential –
High-Density (SH) in support of applications to develop six single-family residential
units at 2424 Olympic Boulevard, Walnut Creek, CA.
D. COMPLIANCE WITH OPR’S GENERAL PLAN GUIDELINES AND OTHER OPR
DIRECTIVES
Section 65400 of the Government Code requires jurisdictions to discuss the degree to which the
adopted General Plan complies with the State of California General Plan Guidelines as issued
by OPR. The Guidelines provide a definitive interpretation of State statutes and case law as
they relate to the General Plan. Additionally, the Guidelines outline the general framework for
preparation and revision of a General Plan, Attorney General Opinions, and the relationship of
the General Plan to the requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The State’s Guidelines are advisory in nature rather than prescriptive, and thereby preserve
opportunities for a local jurisdiction to address contemporary planning topics in a locally
appropriate manner. Staff has reviewed the latest set of General Plan Guidelines, issued by
OPR in October 2003, and determined that the Contra Costa County General Plan (2005-2020)
is consistent with and meets the mandatory requirements described therein.
In addition to General Plan Guidelines, OPR has issued other advisories and guidance related
to State planning law requirements for cities and counties. DCD has endeavored to incorporate
these advisories into the County’s planning process. Specifically, in November 2005 OPR
issued a supplement to the General Plan Guidelines, providing advisory guidance to cities and
counties on the process for consulting with California Native American tribes during the adoption
or amendment of local General Plans or Specific Plans for the purpose of protecting Traditional
Tribal Cultural Places (also known as SB 18 Tribal Consultation). DCD has established a
protocol for SB 18 Tribal Consultation on General Plan Amendments and Specific Plans in
accordance with the November 2005 supplemental issued by OPR.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 466
Also, OPR has worked to improve communication and encourage collaboration between local
governments and the United States military on land use planning and development issues in
response to passage in 2002 of SB 1468 (Knight) and SB 1462 (Kuehl) in 2004. SB 1462
requires local jurisdictions to establish a notification process to inform the United States military
of certain local land use proposals to avoid conflicts with military installations and training
activities. SB 1468 resulted in the preparation of the California Advisory Handbook for
Community and Military Compatibility Planning to encourage collaboration between cities,
counties, builders, and military personnel by providing tools and guidance regarding
compatibility planning between communities and military installations and activities. Since there
is a limited number of military installations in Contra Costa County, and only two in the
unincorporated area, the impact of these new requirements for the County to notify the U.S.
Military of pending land use planning and development applications has been negligible.
Nevertheless, DCD has established a protocol to determine whether notification to the U.S.
military is necessary if a project is located within 1,000 feet of a military installation or within
special airspace as defined in the Public Resources Code § 21098. DCD has been using the
California Military Land Use Compatibility Analyst, which was prepared by the State Resources
Agency in conjunction with OPR to help cities and counties find the location of military
installations and training facilities within their jurisdiction and to determine if a project triggers
notification to the U.S. Military.
III. HOUSING ELEMENT IMPLEMENTION AND PROGRESS IN MEETING SHARE OF
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
The County Housing Element was preliminarily approved in 1970, approximately one year after
State law established the element as one of the mandatory elements to the General Plan, and it
was formally adopted by the Board of Supervisors in December 1980 following new mandated
requirements for the Housing Element established into State law in the mid-1970s. It has been
subsequently updated as part of the mandated cycle of Housing Element updates adopted by
the State legislature beginning in 1985. The Housing Element was updated when it was
incorporated as part of the comprehensive update to the General Plan (1990-2005) adopted in
January 1991. Subsequently, the Housing Element was updated in 1995 and included in the
1996 General Plan reconsolidation (1995-2010), updated in December 2001 and included in the
2005 General Plan reconsolidation (2005-2020), updated in 2009, and updated most recently in
2014 (pursuant to SB 375).
The current Housing Element (2014) sets forth the County’s housing goals, objectives, policies,
and implementation measures, and was reviewed and certified by HCD on March 11, 2015.
The attached tables listed as A through C are taken from Contra Costa County’s Annual
Housing Element Progress Report for 2015. The tables contain more detailed information
pertaining to progress and implementation activities for the 5th cycle Housing Element (2015-
2023) which began January 31, 2015.

C. BARRIERS TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ACTIVITY IN CALENDAR YEAR 2015
Market factors such as the high cost of land suitable for residential development and high
construction costs continue to be the most significant constraints on the development of
affordable housing in Contra Costa County. The County attempts to counter these factors with
strategies and subsidy programs to develop affordable rental housing and homeownership
opportunities.
In 2015 the County continued implementation of its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, which was
adopted in late 2006. One application that was filed in 2015 is subject to the Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance. The applicant has opted to pay fees in-lieu of constructing the affordable
units. In 2015, the total amount of in-lieu fees collected upon issuance of building permits for
development of approved subdivision projects within the county totaled $130,913.58. The in-lieu
fees will be used to support future affordable housing development.
In addition, the County has access to financial resources available for affordable housing
activities. Some of the funding resources available include programs from federal, State, local,
and private resources. The key housing funding sources currently utilized in the County include
the following programs: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships
Act, Emergency Solutions Grant Funds, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS, Mental
Health Services Act, Housing Successor (former Redevelopment Set-Aside) Funds, bond
financing, mortgage credit certificates, low-income housing tax credits, and Section 8
Assistance. Elimination of the redevelopment agency resulted in an annual loss of $3.4 million
in local funds.
Additional actions undertaken by the County to decrease development costs and eliminate
barriers to affordable housing include the following:
The County provided 55 Mortgage Credit Certificates throughout the county and
cities for first-time home buyers.
The County provided funding for a project for very-low-income housing for women
leaving prison.
The County continues to use Planned Unit District (P-1) zoning to permit the use of
flexible design standards for residential projects.
The County provides a density bonus incentive program to support affordable
housing development.
The County continues to promote the Second Unit Review process to assist
applicants in integrating attached or detached independent living facilities on the
same lot as a primary residence as a means of increasing the supply of needed
rental housing.
Finally, barriers to affordable housing also exist in the form of discrimination. Contra Costa
County affirmatively furthers fair housing through the ongoing support of fair housing
counseling, education, and outreach activities. In addition, all housing projects funded by the
County are required to undertake broad marketing activities in a manner consistent with federal
and State fair housing laws, including outreach to underserved populations. The Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2010 with a major
effort to update the AI initiated in 2015.

IV. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND WORK ACTIVITIES RELATED TO GENERAL PLAN
IMPLEMENTION FOR CALENDAR YEARS 2016 AND 2017
In 2016 and 2017 DCD will continue a significant work effort associated with General Plan
implementation in response to the following State mandates:
Safety Element
Flood Hazards – As required under Assembly Bill (AB) 162 (Wolk), the Safety Element, and
likely the Land Use and Conservation elements, must be updated to reflect, among other
things, new information regarding flood hazards based on potential for a 200-year flood
event instead of the current 100-year event standard. Accordingly, General Plan goals,
objectives, policies, and implementation measures will have to be updated.
Related legislation, Senate Bill (SB) 5 (Machado), required the California Department of
Water Resources and the Central Valley Flood Protection Board to prepare and adopt the
Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP). Follow-up legislation (Senate Bill 1278) set
the deadline for cities and counties within the jurisdiction of the CVFPP to amend their
General Plan and zoning ordinance to conform to the CVFPP within 24 and 36 months,
respectively, of the CVFPP’s adoption date of July 2013.
A large section of eastern Contra Costa County falls within the jurisdictional boundaries of
the CVFPP where, under SB 5, 200-year protection is to be the minimum level of flood
protection for urban and urbanizing areas. SB 5 restricts approval of development
agreements, subdivision maps, discretionary entitlements, and ministerial permits for
residences in 200-year flood hazard zones until the General Plan and zoning ordinance
have been amended to conform with the CVFPP unless certain findings are made. The
County is required to submit its draft Safety Element amendments to the Central Valley
Flood Protection Board prior to adoption. DCD anticipates that work activities related to
updating the Safety Element, and likely the Land Use and Conservation elements, in
response to AB 162 and SB 5 will be a significant undertaking through calendar year 2016.
Fire Hazard Severity Map – As required under Senate Bill (SB) 1241, the Fire Hazard
Severity Map in the Safety Element will be updated to reflect new mapping by the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) of wildland fire hazards and risks, and
to identify State responsibility areas and very high fire hazard severity zones in Contra
Costa County. Accordingly, the Safety Element’s goals, policies, and implementation
measures related to wildland fire hazards will be reviewed and updated, as necessary. Work
in response to SB 1241 requirements will continue through 2016.
Land Use Element
Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities – SB 244 (Wolk, 2011) requires cities and
counties to address the infrastructure and service needs of unincorporated disadvantaged
communities (DUCs) in their respective General Plans. Disadvantaged unincorporated
communities are defined under SB 244 as:
Containing 10 or more dwelling units in close proximity to one another;
Within a city Sphere of Influence (SOI), or is an island surrounded by a city, or is
geographically isolated and has existed for more than 50 years; and,
Having a median household income that is 80 percent or less than the statewide
median household income.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 470
SB 244 requires that the Land Use Element be updated to identify DUCs and analyze the
water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection deficiencies and
needs for each. Funding alternatives for extension of services to the DUCs must also be
identified. The County’s SB 244 DUC analysis was initiated in 2014 in conjunction with the
5th cycle Housing Element update, and it is anticipated this work will be completed by the
end of 2016.
General Plan Update
The term of the current County General Plan extends through calendar year 2020. In 2016 and
2017 DCD anticipates performing preliminary work toward a General Plan update.

of Supervisors needs to approve all requests for change in scope of project through the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This request is to remove the
Richmond Health Center, located at 100 38th St in Richmond, CA, from the CCHS Scope of Project. The Richmond
Health Center was replaced by the West County Health Center in 2011 and should no longer be included on the
HRSA-approved site list. Removing unused and vacant health centers from the list of HRSA-approved sites is
standard process when sites are no longer used for health services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Board Order is not approved, the HCH Program list would be inaccurate.

Subject: Community Services Monthly Report
Date: March 2016
I. Good News Update/Accomplishments:
Community Services received its letter from Danya International confirming the
week of May 2nd as the date for the Federal Comprehensive Services and School
Readiness (CSSR) monitoring review. This review will focus on four program
performance areas: identifying child and family strengths and needs, addressing
child and family needs, providing high-quality teaching and learning, and
planning for transition. A Team of reviewers will visit CSB, partner and delegate
classrooms to review files and management systems, monitor classrooms, and
interview staff and parents. CSB staff eagerly anticipates this review.
The Comprehensive Services team is preparing to enroll children ages 0-5 for
the 2016-17 school year. We continue to find it challenging to enroll 4 year old
children due to TK and Preschool expansion in this county; therefore we are
focusing on serving more 2 year olds, where the need is high.
Plans are in the works to change the format for our annual Policy Council and
Board of Supervisors Joint Training. We are planning to hold the training in the
fall of 2016, and are excited about the new format that will include an afternoon
tea with time for participants to network and take part in an engaging
presentation and interactive workshop facilitated by Interaction Associates.
Ongoing dental treatment continues to be offered to children enrolled in the
Head Start program. During the month of February, Lifelong Medical Care
visited the Balboa and Crescent Park Children’s center to provide dental exams,
fluoride varnish, cleanings and treatment to 18 children.
The teaching staff early closures days in March focused on Math. The preschool
teaching staff had the opportunity to explore, create, and share ideas about
sample materials and tools that children use in the classroom. Teachers
facilitate the children’s learning about math concepts and implement new ideas
to enhance the classroom environment and activities such as counting objects
numbers, matching the numbers with numerals and words.
March marks the conclusion of a six month effort by Camilla Rand, Director,
Katharine Mason, Division Manager, and Janissa Rowley, Lead Assistant Director
to hold Communication Circles at all fifteen CSB child care centers. It took some
time but was well worth the effort as they had the opportunity to meet face to
face with all CSB site supervisors, teaching staff and Comprehensive Services
team members.
George Miller III Children’s Center was visited by Community Care Licensing for
an unannounced comprehensive annual visit on March 7, 2016. This
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 484
2
comprehensive visit, including the center tour and review of files, took four
hours to complete and resulted in GMIII passing with flying colors without any
deficiencies, citations or concerns.
CSB staff are engaged in the exciting process of planning for the Week of the
Young Child. The theme for this year is Celebrating our Youngest Learner. Week
of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National
Association for the Education of Young Children and will take place the week of
April 11th -15th. The purpose of this special week is to focus attention on the
needs of young children and their families and to recognize programs such as
CSB that meet those needs.
II. Status Updates:
a. Caseloads, workload (all programs)
Head Start enrollment: 99.84 %
Early Head Start enrollment: 102.09%
Head Start Average Daily Attendance for December: 83.3%
Early Head Start Average Daily Attendance for December: 85.2%
Stage 2: 368 families and 575 children
CAPP: 72 families and 101 children
In total: 440 families and 676 children
Incoming transfers from Stage 1: 22 families and 26 children
LIHEAP: 384 households have been assisted
Weatherization: 18 units
b. Staffing:
o During the month of March the Bureau hired an Administrative Analyst,
a Comprehensive Services Assistant Manager and two Intermediate
Clerk-Project positions. More interviews have been scheduled to fill
vacant clerical positions, and to bring in county and agency temporary
employees to provide support in the program.
c. Legal/lawsuits
N/A
d. Union Issues:
o A Step 3 Grievance has been scheduled with PEU Local 1 on behalf of an
employee requesting to be paid for performance in a higher
classification.
III. Emerging Issues and Hot Topics:
CSB continues to face challenges as it relates to enrolling four year old children
in both its center-based and Home Based programs. Staff are been working
diligently to plan services that will continue to serve the needs of the
community while also complying with both the State and Head Start mandates.
More information will be forthright as we plan deeper into the 2016-17 school
year.

FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
In recognition of the need by unincorporated communities for increased influence with the Boards of Supervisors,
the Board has established municipal advisory councils under authorization of a 1971 legislative statute (ref
Government Code section 31010). Such a council is an advisory body of local citizens appointed by the board of
supervisors with the purpose of representing the community to the board. A municipal advisory council has no
fiscal or administrative authority. Because it lacks authority to implement its position directly, it seeks to
accomplish its goals through county government. These councils face two ways: toward the county, offering the
views of the community; and toward the community, supplying information about county proposals and a place
where individuals can air opinions on community problems and perhaps receive assistance and guidance. The
councils hold public meetings, survey community opinion and speak for the community to the board of
supervisors. The most common subject of activity is land-use planning.
In 2006, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2006/395 specifying that, effective July 1, 2006, all
County MAC members shall be selected and appointed by the Board of Supervisors (rather than elected) upon
nomination by the District Supervisor who represents the unincorporated area served by the council. Prior to that
action, MAC members comprised a mix of elected and appointed members depending on how the MAC was
established. MACs, at that time, were generally considered to be public bodies and their members public officials.
However, since the County's MAC members are now appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board of
Supervisors, and because their role is purely advisory to the Board, they are no longer considered public officials
as defined in the Political Reform Act and are not required to maintain a Conflict of Interest Code nor file annual
financial disclosure (Form 700) statements.
MACs members remain, however, Board of Supervisors appointees and, as such, must follow the Policy for
Board Appointees Concerning Conflict of Interest and Open Meetings (Resolution No. 2002/376), which states:
"All Board Appointees should so conduct the public business
as to avoid even any appearance of conflict of interest."
This requirement has been added to the Board's Municipal Advisory Council Policies as Section 10(h), attached
hereto, for clarification.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board elect not to approve the recommendations, then MACs, which are solely advisory, will continue
to be subject to their Conflict of Interest Codes and their members will file annual financial disclosure statements,
even though this is not legally required.

Introduction
In recognition of the need by unincorporated communities for increased influence with
their county boards of supervisors, municipal advisory councils have been organized in
some counties under authorization of a 1971 legislative statute. Such a council is an
advisory body of local citizens appointed by the board of supervisors with the purpose of
representing the community to the board. Although a municipal advisory council is a
Board of Supervisors-established advisory body, it has no fiscal authority or
administrative organization. Because it lacks authority to implement its position directly,
it seeks to accomplish its goals through county government. These councils face two
ways: toward the county, offering the views of the community; and toward the
community, supplying information about county proposals and a place where individuals
can air opinions on community problems and perhaps receive assistance and guidance.
The councils hold public meetings, survey community opinion and speak for the
community to the board of supervisors. The most common subject of activity is land-use
planning.
The following policy was adopted for the purpose of improving consistency among the
County’s Municipal Advisory Councils (MACs). Previously, there had been little
consistency in the membership composition, method of member selection, staff support,
activities conducted, methods of community outreach, and fiscal resources among the
MACs. While some of these variances may have appropriately reflected the inherent
differences in the communities served, a policy framework for the operating rules and
procedures of the MACs ensure that the MACs are effectively serving their advisory
purpose and, in that regard, are accurately representing the concerns and
recommendations of the community.
1. MAC Member Appointments
Resolution No. 2011/497 (“Appointments to, Formation of, and Requirements for Board
Advisory Bodies”) states: “Except for county officers and employees serving in an
official capacity, all advisory body members shall have specific terms of appointment as
prescribed by statute or as fixed by the Board. Unless otherwise specified, appointees
shall serve four-year terms, and terms should be staggered to limit the number of
scheduled vacancies at any one time.”
MAC members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors, upon nomination by the
District Supervisor. Often, after the expiration of a member term, the member continues
to serve in the seat until re-appointment or dismissal. Although the continuation of
service may seem efficient from the perspective of having a seat filled, it can create the
impression that re-appointment is an automatic process.
a. There should be no automatic re-appointment of MAC members.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 506
4/19/16 4 Contra Costa County
b. At the expiration of the term, the MAC member appointment should be
terminated, and the MAC member should not hold over.
c. The District Supervisor may choose whether to re-nominate an incumbent
member or nominate a new member. Any re-nomination or nomination must be
approved by the Board of Supervisors.
d. Effective January 2009, MAC member terms shall be coterminous to the term of
office of the District Supervisor nominating the member. Appointments should
be made within 60 days of the beginning of the District Supervisor‟s term.
e. In the case of newly-elected Supervisors, MAC members can carry over their
positions for a period not to exceed 90 days, to allow time for a Supervisor to
recruit and make position selections and nominations to the Board of Supervisors.
2. MAC Member Termination
Each appointed member of the MAC serves at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors
and may be removed, at will, by a majority vote of the Board. The rescission of an
appointment by the Board is rare. However, policies should be in place in the event that
a MAC member acts inappropriately toward other MAC members, staff, or the public;
acts outside the authority of the MAC; or has persistent problems with attendance.
a. MAC members may be removed from their appointments at will upon
recommendation by the District Supervisor to the Board of Supervisors.
b. MAC members should express concerns about any inappropriate behavior by a
member to the District Supervisor.
c. If an issue arises, a District Supervisor may meet with or send a letter to the MAC
member and the MAC Chair, advising the member of the concern and indicating
that a failure to correct the inappropriate behavior may lead to removal.
d. The MAC member should receive written notice of a recommendation for
removal, of the date and time of the meeting at which the Board will consider the
matter, and of the opportunity for public comment to the Board before action on
the matter.
e. If a MAC member or alternate has been absent from two consecutive meetings,
the secretary or administrative support staff should advise the member or alternate
that absence from three consecutive regular meetings of the MAC may result in a
recommendation of termination to the Board of Supervisors.
f. Where it appears that there will be sufficient members to hold a meeting but at the
actual time of the meeting a quorum cannot be reached and the meeting is
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 507
4/19/16 5 Contra Costa County
canceled, those members or alternates who are absent will have an absence
counted against them.
3. MAC Alternate Positions
Alternates can serve a useful purpose by assisting with the achievement of a quorum.
However, a policy of automatic appointment of the alternate in the event of a vacancy
may discourage other interested individuals from applying for appointment. Moreover,
appointments should not be made automatically, in respect of District Supervisor
responsibility for member nominations.
a. Alternate positions do not automatically assume a member position when a
vacancy arises. Alternates, however, may be nominated to fill a member vacancy
to the Board of Supervisors by the District Supervisor.
b. The District Supervisor may recommend to the Board establishment of up to two
alternate positions for a 5 member MAC and one alternate position for a 7
member MAC.
4. MAC Youth Representative
The District Supervisor may recommend to the Board establishment of one non-voting
youth representative position on any MAC. This non-voting position shall not affect
quorum requirements.
5. MAC Membership Size
MACs are currently comprised of either 5 or 7 voting members with one, two, or no
alternates, and are sized to correlate with the size of the community they represent,
represent toand to provide greater consistency among the MACs and equalize
administrative support requirements. MACs that represent unincorporated communities
whose population is less than 4,000 should have a membership of no more than 5 voting
members.

5. MAC Committees
Some MACs have established committees (or subcommittees) to address particular
subject areas considered by the MAC. However, contrary to requirements, the
committees have not always operated in accordance with MAC operating procedures, the
Brown Act, and the County‟s Better Government Ordinance. Unless these policies and
procedures are followed, the MAC, the public and the Board of Supervisors may not be
well served by the committees.
a. MACs may establish a single-purpose committee (or subcommittee) when
needed. The committee (or subcommittee) shall be composed solely of less than a
quorum of the MAC and chaired by one of its members. Members of the public
who are not MAC members may not serve on a committee or subcommittee.
b. A specific charge or outline of responsibilities shall be established for the
committee (or subcommittee) by the MAC in its Board-approved annual work
plan. A target date shall be established through the annual Work Plan for report
back to the MAC. The maximum life of the committee (or subcommitee) shall be
one year, with annual review, and possible extension by the MAC through the
annual Work Plan.
c. The committee (or subcommittee) shall operate in accordance with MAC
operating procedures, the Brown Act, and the County‟s Better Government
Ordinance.
d. Meeting agendas for committees (or subcommittees) shall be posted and records
of action should be maintained and posted as well.
6. MAC Meeting Frequency, Location, Length, Operations
Current policy in the MAC establishing resolutions indicates that MACs “shall hold
regular meetings at least monthly at an established time and place.” (Italics added.)
Many MACs meet twice a month, with additional committee meetings. The frequency
and length of meetings increase the cost and requirements of administrative support for
the MACs. However, MACs should meet as needed to ensure timely and effective input
on land use matters.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 509
4/19/16 7 Contra Costa County
a. MACs shall establish a standard meeting schedule for the year as part of its Board
of Supervisors-approved annual work plan, making changes in consultation with
the District Supervisor‟s office.
b. MAC meetings should be held at a time and place convenient and accessible to
MAC members, the community, and administrative support staff.
c. Generally, MAC meetings should not exceed three (3) hours in length.
d. MACs shall fully comply with the Board of Supervisors‟ policy concerning
conflict of interest and open meetings (Resolution No. 2002/376).
e. The MACs shall agendize and respond to items that are referred to them in a
timely manner (i.e., within 30 days of referral) such that their review does not
delay the County consideration of the matter.
f. Time limits may be imposed in the course of the meeting by the Chair. In general,
speakers should be prepared to make their points known within three minutes.
g. The agenda should reflect and the MAC Chair should remind the public at the
start of each meeting that the MAC is an advisory body to the Board of
Supervisors.
7. MAC Training Requirements
The staffs of the County Administrator‟s Office (CAO), Auditor-Controller and County
Counsel annually train advisory body and MAC members on operating procedures, fiscal
procedures, the Brown Act, the County‟s Better Government Ordinance, and County
government in general. Training provides MAC members with resources and knowledge
to operate efficiently and effectively.
a. MAC members must attend a training offered by the CAO staff at least once
during the first two years of his/her term, preferably in the first year, and must
view the video training “The Brown Act and Better Government Act—What You
Need to Know” within 60 days of their appointment by the Board of Supervisors.
b. MAC members are encouraged to attend the annual advisory body training and
should receive an orientation on MAC member duties and responsibilities by
District and/or CAO staff before their first meeting. CAO staff will develop and
distribute a MAC Handbook to members, as well as a guide to the Brown Act.
c. Within three months of appointment, each MAC member shall complete the
prescribed training on compliance with conflict of interest and open meeting laws
and shall certify that he or she has completed such training. Training certificates
should be maintained by the District administrative support staff.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 510
4/19/16 8 Contra Costa County
d. MAC chairs and/or treasurers must receive fiscal training offered by the Auditor-
Controller‟s Office and CAO staff before assuming their position.
8. Administrative Staff Support of MACs
Administrative support resources have varied widely among MACs. Some MACs have
handled their own administrative matters; others have been supported by District staff or
a contractor. To ensure effectiveness, all MACs need some level of administrative
support services provided by either District staff or through an independent contractor.
a. Each District Supervisor should determine if their MACs will receive
administrative support services from District staff or an independent contractor
retained by the District.
b. In all cases, District staff should be responsible for fiscal oversight of the MACs.
c. Administrative support services to the MACs could include some or all of the
following:
i. MAC agenda preparation, posting, and distribution.
ii. Attendance at MAC meetings and arranging for County staff attendance,
as needed.
iii. Preparing responses to inquiries made during public comment.
iv. Preparing responses of requests from MAC members.
v. Records of action posting and distribution.
vi. Filing and maintaining training certifications.
vii. Fiscal oversight of the MAC budget and establishment of Petty Cash fund.
9. MAC Funding
a. Each District Office should be provided $3,000 annually per MAC for support of
MAC operations. Prior to FY 2014/15, funding was not available for this
purpose; however, the Board allocated operations funding for FY 2014/15. Non-
General Fund support for MAC operations should be identified during those
periods when County General Fund support is unavailable.
b. Funding will be restricted to the following uses: clerical support, telephone
expenses, post office box expenses, postage, print and mailing services, and
community meeting expenses. Funding may not be expended on other items not
directly related to the functions and activities specified in the Board-approved
annual work plan.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 511
4/19/16 9 Contra Costa County
c. MACs are encouraged to seek and apply for funding from other non-County
sources to supplement their budget.
10. MAC Operating Procedures--Creating Agendas, Posting Agendas, Records of
Action, and File Storage
Not every MAC has consistently operated in adherence with a set of operating rules, the
Brown Act, the County‟s Better Government Ordinance, the Board of Supervisors‟ policy
concerning conflict of interest and open meetings (Resolution No. 2002/376), and the
Board‟s policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions
(Resolution 2011/497). Without adherence to policies and rules, public participation and
the provision of public information is hampered. In addition, the District Supervisor and
Board of Supervisors may not be well served by a lack of timely and accurate
information.
a. The agenda for a MAC meeting should be created by the MAC Chair in
consultation with the administrative support staff. The County Administrator‟s
Office will provide an agenda template. (See Attachment A.) The Agenda should
include a statement that the MAC is an advisory body to the Board of
Supervisors.
b. The agenda for a MAC meeting shall be posted in accordance with the Brown Act
and the County‟s Better Government Ordinance.
c. District staff is encouraged to post the agenda and record of actions on the District
webpage.
d. Materials distributed for the meeting must be available for viewing at a specified
location that is a public place, accessible during normal business hours, at least 96
hours before a scheduled meeting. In addition, a sufficient number of copies of
meeting materials (a minimum of 10) should be available at the meeting for MAC
members and the public.
e. The MAC should keep a record of its actions in a form prescribed by the County‟s
Better Government Ordinance: “Each County body must keep a record of its
meeting. Though the record need not be verbatim, i.e., a tape-recording, it must
accurately reflect the agenda and the decisions made in the meeting.” (Ord. § 25-
2.205).
f. The Record of Actions should be approved by the MAC and submitted to the
District Supervisor office no later than one month after their approval. The
County Administrator‟s Office will provide a template for Records of Actions.
(See Attachment B.)
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 512
4/19/16 10 Contra Costa County
g. Storage space for MAC files should be provided at District Supervisor offices
where feasible. For transition purposes, District Supervisors should have access
to at least two years of records. If there is insufficient space in the District
offices, the County Administrator‟s Office can assist with the provision of storage
space at a centralized location.
h. MACs will not maintain Conflict of Interest Codes; however, as Board of
Supervisors appointees, MAC members are required to follow Resolution No.
2002/376, the Policy for Board Appointees on Conflict of Interest and Open
Meetings, which states, "All Board Appointees should so conduct the public
business as to avoid even any appearance of conflict of interest."
11. MAC External Communications and Representations
MACs advise the Board of Supervisors on land use and planning matters affecting their
communities of interest and may represent their communities before the Board of
Supervisors, the Planning Commission and the Zoning Administrator on such issues as
land use, planning, and zoning. MACs may also represent the community before the
Local Agency Formation Commission on proposed boundary changes affecting the
community.
MACs may advise the Board of Supervisors on services which are or may be provided to
the community by Contra Costa County or other local government agencies. Such
services include, but are not limited to, public health, safety, welfare, public works, and
planning. MACs may also provide input and reports to the Board, County staff or any
County hearing body on issues of concern to the community.
However, it is understood that the Board of Supervisors is the final decision making
authority with respect to issues concerning the community and that the Council shall
serve solely in an advisory capacity.
a. Except as specified, the MAC and its individual members acting on behalf of the
MAC, may not represent the community to any federal, state, other county, city,
special district or school district, agency or commission, or any other organization
on any matter concerning the community.
b. Individual MAC members cannot represent the MAC‟s positions unless such
representation has been expressly authorized by a vote of the MAC. When an
individual member is authorized to represent the MAC‟s position to the Board of
Supervisors, Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator, or LAFCo, that
member should speak only to those topics which have been expressly authorized
by the MAC and only with respect to the issues MACs are authorized to address.
c. The MAC may not, as a body, take positions on candidates for any public office
or take positions on any legislative matter.
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 513
4/19/16 11 Contra Costa County
d. On any business cards, letterhead, or printed material from the MAC, the MAC
should be identified as an advisory body to the Board of Supervisors, and the
contact information for the District Supervisor should be included.
12. MAC Annual Reports, Including Work Plans
Work Plans had not been regularly submitted by the MACs; however, they are a good
planning tool and help focus the MAC‟s time and attention. With respect to
“Responsibilities of Advisory Bodies,” Board Resolution 2011/497 states: “Each
advisory body shall submit an Annual Report to the Board on its activities,
accomplishments, membership attendance, required training/certification (if any), and
proposed work plan or objectives for the following year, in December.”
a. In January 2014, the Board expanded the scope of the annual report to include a
section on receipt and expenditure of funds, by line item/expenditure category.
b. Each MAC should be reminded of its annual reporting responsibilities by
administrative staff support.
c. MAC annual reports, including work plans, should be reviewed by the District
Supervisor who will recommend appropriate action by the Board of Supervisors.
d. Each MAC should consult with District staff when developing its annual work
plan.
e. Failure to submit the required annual report and work plan may result in
consideration of MAC dissolution.
13. MAC Boundaries
The current MAC boundaries do not necessarily reflect the “community of interest” for
every MAC. A few MACs are surrounded by a combination of established boundaries
(city or special district boundaries) or natural boundaries. However, others are partially
surrounded by cities but may include industrial or agricultural land outside the Urban
Limit Line. Others include lesser inhabited rural areas or government-owned areas (such
as an airport, special district lands, transitional military bases, etc.).
In addition, there had previously been no apparent common or consistent rationale for the
MAC boundaries. There are unique characteristics of each area; however, the boundaries
should reflect the true "community of interest” for each MAC. Therefore, the following
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 514
4/19/16 12 Contra Costa County
criteria are established to redraw the MAC boundaries, as necessary, to achieve this
objective.
The area for which the MACs will serve and discharge their duties and powers is the
unincorporated area described on the attached maps which reflect the following criteria:
a. Use of Borders: The unincorporated community of interest may be bounded by
established borders such as county and city limit lines, special district boundaries
(including, but not limited to, park and water districts), census tracts, geographic
features such as highways or waterways, and/or the adopted Urban Limit Line.
Borders are followed to the extent practicable and to the extent that they reflect
the generally recognized “community of interest.”
b. Population Density and Community Affiliation: Population density and
recognized population centers should be considered in determining boundaries
(where established borders do not exist). The unincorporated community of
interest should also include the neighborhoods or residential areas commonly or
traditionally affiliated with the name of the community. Uninhabited or sparsely
populated rural or agricultural areas should generally be excluded unless there
are known or anticipated matters of public health, safety, welfare, public works,
and/or planning.
c. Areas of special interest: When an unincorporated community of interest is
adjacent to industrial areas or facilities (e.g., refineries, power plants, gas fields),
these areas should be included if there are known or anticipated matters of public
health, safety, welfare, public works, and/or planning. When an unincorporated
community of interest is adjacent to government-owned lands (e.g., airports,
special district lands, transitional military bases, etc.), these areas should be
included only if there are known or anticipated matters of public health, safety,
welfare, public works, and/or planning.
14. Community Service District (CSD) Board Members as MAC Members
The MAC and the CSD are separate bodies and cannot be combined into a single public
entity1. However, the Board of Supervisors can create a MAC and specify that the
members of the MAC shall be those persons serving as Directors of the CSD. (This was
accomplished in April 2007 for the Diablo MAC.)
1 At its March 12, 1997 meeting, the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) passed
Resolution 96-19 that addressed termination of the Discovery Bay Municipal Advisory Council and stated
that its advisory functions would be assumed by the Discovery Bay CSD Board of Directors. Subsequent
to that action, the Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 97-295 terminating the Discovery Bay Municipal
Advisory Council effective December 1, 1998 and acknowledging that DBCSD would assume the advisory
functions previously performed by the MAC: “In order to create a smooth transition of „in - progress‟
advisory functions to the newly created DBCSD, the Discovery Bay Municipal Advisory Council shall be
terminated on December 1, 1998, and its advisory responsibilities shall be assumed by the DBCSD Board
of Directors.”
April 26, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 515
4/19/16 13 Contra Costa County
In April 2009, the Board amended its Better Government Ordinance (BGO) to exempt
MACs whose membership composition is the same as the elected members of a CSD in
order to eliminate any conflicts in open meeting and operating requirements between the
County and a CSD. The exemption relates only to the BGO; MACs whose membership
comprises a CSD board must still comply with the Brown Act and Public Records Act.
When the Board of Supervisors designates that a MAC shall have the same membership
composition as a CSD Board, the CSD Board can then submit an application to the Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) to activate its latent power to finance the
operation of a MAC. After receiving LAFCo‟s approval, the Board of Directors may, by
ordinance, order the exercise of that power. (Gov. Code §§ 61100 (ad); 61106). For
such bodies:
a. The “Membership” provision of the MAC‟s establishing resolution should be
amended to specify that the Council would consist of five members who shall be
the current elected members of the CSD, appointed by the Board of Supervisors,
upon nomination by the District Supervisor.
b. The “Term of Office” provision of the MAC‟s establishing resolution should be
amended to specify that a MAC member‟s term shall be the same as his or her
term of office on the CSD Board of Directors. Also, vacancies would not be
filled through the Board of Supervisors appointment process. Rather, they would
be filled based upon the result of CSD elections.
c. The “Removal from Office” provision of the MAC‟s establishing resolution
should be deleted, as it would not be consistent with representation by elected
CSD Board members serving ex officio as members of the MAC.
d. The “Quorum and Vote Necessary for Action” provision of the MAC‟s
establishing resolution should be deleted, as it is more efficient for the MAC
members to operate pursuant to the quorum and vote requirements of the CSD.
e. The MAC‟s “Territorial Area,” or boundaries, should be modified to be
coterminous with that of the CSD unless there are compelling reasons for separate
boundaries owing to the CSD‟s service requirements or the identification of the
MAC‟s “community of interest.”
f. Notwithstanding the above amendments, the MAC should continue to operate as a
County advisory body, subject to the County‟s operating procedures and policies
for MACs and other advisory bodies, including the County‟s Better Government
Ordinance.
