RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the 2016 Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Valuation Report as of January 1, 2016 including
Annual Required Contributions for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The attached 2016 Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Valuation Report is required per Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 43 and 45 to be completed, by a County the size of Contra Costa,
every two years. The report presents a calculation of liability and has no specific fiscal impact on its own. The
County’s actions to reduce the liability have had a significant positive impact on the County’s overall fiscal stability
and ability to deliver services. As of January 1, 2016, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the County’s other post
employment benefits were 18.6% funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $939.1 million, and the
actuarial value of assets was $174.7 million, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability of $764.3 million,
and an Annual Required Contribution of $89.2 million.

Subject:Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) - 2016 Valuation Report
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 28
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, due to growing concern over the potential magnitude of government employer obligations for
post-employment benefits, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board enacted Statement 45 (GASB 45). The
main reason for the Statement was to establish uniform accrual accounting and reporting of these governmental
liabilities much like under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules that already applied to the
private sector for OPEBs (and GASB 25 and 27 statements that already applied to governmental pension
liabilities). Accrual accounting was needed to report the cost of providing government services over the working
lifetime of employees providing the services rather than just the "pay-as-you-go" (paygo) cost that was not
realized until after those employees retired.
Additionally, an intended audience of these GASB 45 results was the bond markets to allow better assessment of
levels of government solvency in issuing debt. Although plan solvency was not the main impetus behind
Statement 45, GASB 45 is considered 'funding friendly' because it adds some stability for those receiving the
benefits, if those benefits are actually pre-funded. Because Statement 45 requires the public sector to account for
total long term OPEB costs over the active service life of benefit-earning employees, rather than reporting current
year OPEB costs only for existing retirees, it is thought that addressing these long-term liabilities would help to
avoid the collapses in benefit plans that have occurred in the private sector.
Pursuant to GASB 45 requirements, Contra Costa County ordered its initial actuarial report in 2006. The 2006
report valued the County’s unfunded liability for retiree medical costs at $2.6 billion based upon a cash discount
rate. This outstanding liability, if fully amortized over the following 30 years, would have necessitated an Annual
Required Contribution (ARC) of $216 million. At that point in time, $216 million would have been six times the
amount that the County was paying toward retiree health care costs on a paygo basis.
As is described in the attached 2016 report and in the table below, the County has taken significant actions to
address GASB 45 and to reduce its OPEB liability since the initial report of 2006. Interim valuation results have
been presented to the Board of Supervisors, pursuant to California Government Code 7507, since the 2008 report.
However, for comparison purposes, the table below compares bi-annual GASB 45 valuation results at fiscal
year-end (FYE).
In June, 2007, the County established a funding target of 100% of the potential liability for the retiree population.
At that time, retirees accounted for approximately 40% of the liability population. That figure is now 43% and
expected to continue to grow. Partial pre-funding began in 2008 with an annual County allocation of $20 million.
The County's OPEB was 3.9% funded in 2010, 6.3% in 2012, 14% in 2014, and as of January 1, 2016, the
County's OPEB was 18.6% funded. Although the County has made great strides towards reducing the liability, the
current funded ratio is only 18.6%. Additionally, the UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll, is still high at
109.8%. Pursuant to County Ordinance No. 2014-04, the annual resources of $20 million will be increased by $47
million to $67 million in FY 2022/23 when the County retires its current Pension Obligation Bond.
Both the 2006 and 2008 valuation reports used a 4.5% discount rate, reflecting the County’s funding policy at that
time. The 2010 and 2012 results reflected a 6.32% discount rate to reflect the County’s adopted discount rate
assumption based on $20 million in partial pre-pay into an OPEB trust fund, plus paygo funding. The 2014 and
2016 reports reflects a 5.70% discount rate, which reflects the County's current policies. This rate is derived basedNovember 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 29
2016 reports reflects a 5.70% discount rate, which reflects the County's current policies. This rate is derived based
upon the fund's investment policy, level of partial funding, and long-term inflation assumption. Based upon the
portfolio's target allocation, the average return of Trust assets over the next 30 years is expected to be 6.25%.
Because the County's annual contribution is not equal to the Annual Required Contribution, GASB requires that
the rate be blended with the expected return of the County's general fund (we assumed a long term return of 3.5%).
Throughout the last eight years through labor negotiations, the County has worked with employees to adopt and
implement the County’s OPEB goals. Through the efforts of the majority of our employees, the County has
adopted an OPEB financing plan that balanced the County's requirement to provide public services with its desire
to provide competitive health care benefits to employees and fully complies with GASB 45. It is important to note
that the significant improvement in the County’s OPEB liability could not have been achieved without the support
of our employees. These efforts will not only help to ensure the County’s overall fiscal stability and ability to
deliver services, but will also increase the likelihood that health care benefits will be available to our employees
and retirees in the future.
A reconciliation of the County's valuation changes breaks out in the following way:
2006 to 2008
Updated Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA) pension valuation
assumptions where applicable (valuation assumption)
Better overall medical and dental plan trend and renewals over the two years than originally assumed
(demographic gain)
Fewer new retirements than originally assumed, which delayed the onset of benefits (demographic gain)
Overall cleaner and more complete data than was available in 2006
Effective 2008, the County contribution for non-represented retirees was set at the 2009 level for future
years (this date was later changed to 2011 and included in subsequent valuation plan provisions)
2008 to 2010
Reduced liability due to the negotiated plan change savings over time. The impact from these changes was
more than expected due to conservative plan change assumptions and up to date bargaining unit coding.
Migration to lower cost plans as a result of the plan changes and a resulting lower subsidy amount (active
rates subsidizing retiree rates).
Demographic gains:
This was due to both active and retiree counts being lower than in the 2008 valuation,
Fewer new retirements than expected,
Fewer continuing retirees than expected, and
Fewer active employees than in 2008.
2010 to 2012
Reduced liability due to the negotiated plan change savings over time.
Migration to lower cost plans as a result of the plan changes and a resulting lower subsidy amount.
Demographic losses:
This was due to active counts being lower and retiree counts being higher than in the 2010 valuation,
More new retirements than expected (loss),
More retirees than in 2010 (loss), and
Fewer active employees than in 2010 (gain).
2012 to 2014
Reduced liability due to the negotiated plan change savings over time. See Appendix A of attached report
(Summary of Benefits), for details regarding plan changes made for the majority of County employees.
Migration to lower cost plans as a result of the plan changes and a resulting lower subsidy amount.
Demographic losses:
Active and retiree counts were higher than in the 2012 valuation, however the ratio of actives to
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 30
retirees remained at 43.4%,
More new retirements than expected (loss),
More retirees than in 2012 (loss), and
More active employees than in 2012 (loss).
2014 to 2016
Increased liability due to certain negotiated plan changes. See Appendix A of attached report (Summary of
Benefits), for details regarding plan changes made for the majority of County employees.
Migration to lower cost plans as a result of the plan changes and a resulting lower subsidy amount.
Demographic loss was very small at approximately $3 million:
Active and retiree counts were higher than in the 2014 valuation, however the ratio of actives to
retirees remained at 43%, and
More active employees than in 2014 (loss).
Summary
Over the last ten years, the County has reduced its OPEB UAAL by 63%, Normal Cost by 78%, amortization of
UAAL by 29%, and Annual Required Contribution by 59%. Although the County’s annual trust deposit of $20
million combined with the annual paygo cost of $46 million shows great progress, it does not meet the GASB
definition of paying the total Annual Required Contribution for pre-funding ($89.2 million). Additionally, a
18.6% funded level is still far from the targeted level of 43%. The Board of Supervisors, through the County
Administrator's Office will continue to work towards a financial balance between the provision of necessary
services to the public and provision of competitive health care benefits for employees and retirees.
None of these reductions could have been achieved without the support and cooperation of our employees.
Continued negotiations toward Countywide health care cost containment strategies and the redirection of
designated future resources remain key to reducing the OPEB liability. The Board of Supervisors continues to
make significant progress toward a solution for one of the biggest fiscal challenges the County has faced to date.
The results contained in this report are our best estimate; however, variation from these or any other estimates of
future retiree medical costs is possible. Actual future costs may vary from the estimates in this report. Detailed
information on the Board’s actions, including all of the County’s OPEB reports, is available on the County’s
web-site at www.cccounty.us/1318/Other-Post-Employment-Benefits.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will be out of compliance with GASB 45.

Contra Costa County –
GASB 45 Actuarial Valuation of Post Employment Benefits as of January 1, 2016
At the request of the Contra Costa County, we have completed an actuarial valuation of other post
employment benefits as of January 1, 2016.
The purpose of this report is to determine the Annual Required Contribution and required financial
disclosures under the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45 – Accounting and
Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (GASB 45). Our
determinations reflect the procedures and methods prescribed in GASB 45.
In preparing our report, we relied, without audit, on information supplied by Contra Costa County’s
staff. This information includes but not limited to employee census data, financial information and the
County’s other post employment benefit (OPEB) provisions. While Milliman has not audited the
financial and census data, they have been reviewed for reasonableness and are, in our opinion,
sufficient and reliable for the purposes of our calculations. If any of this information as summarized
in this report is inaccurate or incomplete, the results shown could be materially affected and this
report may need to be revised.
All costs, liabilities, rates of interest, and other factors for the County have been determined on the
basis of actuarial assumptions and methods which are individually reasonable (taking into account the
experience of the County and reasonable expectations); and which, in combination, offer our best
estimate of anticipated experience affecting the County. Further, in our opinion, each actuarial
assumption used is reasonably related to the experience of the County and to reasonable expectations
which, in combination, represent our best estimate of anticipated experience for the County.
This valuation report is only an estimate of the County’s other post employment benefit liability as of
a single date. It can neither predict the future condition of the County’s other post employment
benefit liability nor guarantee future financial soundness. Actuarial valuations do not affect the
ultimate cost of other post employment benefits. They may affect the timing of County contributions.
While the valuation is based on an array of individually reasonable assumptions, other assumption
sets may also be reasonable and valuation results based on those assumptions would be different.
No one set of assumptions is uniquely correct. Determining results using alternative assumptions is
outside the scope of our engagement.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in
this report due to such factors as the following: County experience differing from that anticipated by
the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions;

increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these
measurements (such as the end of an amortization period); and changes in other post employment
benefit provisions or applicable law. Due to the limited scope of our assignment, we did not perform
an analysis of the potential range of future measurements. The County has the final decision
regarding the appropriateness of the assumptions and actuarial cost methods.
Actuarial computations presented in this report under GASB Statement No. 45 are for purposes of
assisting the County in fulfilling its financial accounting requirements. The computations prepared for
this purpose may differ as disclosed in our report. The calculations in the enclosed report have been
made on a basis consistent with our understanding of the County’s funding policy and goals. The
calculations in this report have been made on a basis consistent with our understanding of the
County’s current other post employment benefits described in Appendix A of this report, and of
GASB Statement No. 45. Determinations for purposes other than meeting these requirements may
be significantly different from the results contained in this report. Accordingly, additional
determinations may be needed for other purposes.

GASB 45 Actuarial Valuation as of January 1, 2016 1
Milliman Client Report SECTION I. MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Introduction
Milliman, Inc. (“Milliman”) has been retained by Contra Costa County (“County”) to provide a
GASB 45 actuarial valuation of its other post employment benefits (OPEB). In our valuation we:
Project expected payouts
Calculate the present value of total benefits
Calculate the actuarial accrued liability (present value of benefits attributable to past service)
Determine the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) and annual OPEB expense under GASB
Statement No. 45
Prepare the financial statement disclosures relating to the funded status of the plan
Background
Currently, employees who retire directly from the County may receive certain retiree health benefits
if they meet certain eligibility requirements. The County may contribute an amount toward the cost
of retiree health benefits for some retirees consistent with the bargaining agreement between the
County and various bargaining units. Appendix A provides a detailed summary of benefits.
Assumptions
With any valuation of future benefits, assumptions of anticipated future events are required. If actual
events differ from the assumptions made, the actual cost of the County’s OPEB will vary as well.
Discount Rate. GASB 45 requires that the interest rate used to discount future benefit payments
back to the present be based on the expected rate of return on any investments set aside to pay for
these benefits. The County’s OPEB Irrevocable Trust assets are invested in the Public Agency
Retirement Services’ Highmark Diversified Portfolio.
We have used a discount rate of 5.70% for this valuation. This rate represents a “blended” rate
assuming the County partially funds its ARC each year. The County’s current funding policy is to
fund the pay-as-you-go costs for retirees, plus $20 million into the OPEB Trust each year. GASB 45
states that the discount rate used to calculate the present value of future benefits be derived based
on the Trust’s investment policy and the County’s funding policy. Based on the Trust’s asset
allocation, the average return over the next 50 years for assets invested in the Trust is expected to
be 6.13%. This would be an appropriate discount rate if the County’s annual contribution were equal
to the ARC. However, the County is currently funding only a portion of the ARC. Therefore, the
discount rate should be a blend between the expected return on assets held in the Trust and the
expected return of the County’s general fund (we have assumed a long term return of 3.50% for the
County’s general fund for this purpose). For this valuation we used a blended discount rate of
5.70%.

GASB 45 Actuarial Valuation as of January 1, 2016 2
Milliman Client Report SECTION I. MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Health Cost Trend. We have assumed overall health costs of the medical benefits will increase
according to the health cost inflation trend derived by using the “Getzen” model developed by the
Society of Actuaries. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, including
changes passed into law on December 18, 2015, a Federal excise tax will apply for high cost health
benefits beginning in 2020. A margin to reflect to impact of the excise tax in future years is reflected
in the assumed trend.
Demographic Rates. The assumptions for turnover and retirement used in this valuation are based
on the latest pension actuarial report from the Contra Costa County Employees’ Retirement
Association (CCCERA).
A complete summary of the actuarial assumptions is presented in Appendix B.
Changes in Benefit Provisions since Last Valuation
Since the last valuation, benefit changes were made for several bargaining groups. Summaries of
the benefit changes for affected bargaining groups (DAIA, PDOCC, Local 1230, UCOA, SEIU Local
1021, AFSCME Local 2700, Western Council of Engineers, AFSCME Local 512, CCC Defenders
Association, CCC Deputy District Attorneys, Probation Peace Officers, IFPTE/AFL-CIO Local 21,
and Management Classified & Exempt) are described in Appendix B. The effect of the changes on
plan liabilities is shown in Exhibit 8.
Results of Study
The valuation results are summarized in the following exhibit and use the following terms:
The Present Value of Benefits is the present value of projected benefits (projected claims less
retiree contributions) discounted at the valuation interest rate (5.70%).
The Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) is the present value of benefits that are attributed to past
service only. The portion attributed to future employee service is excluded. For retirees, this is
equal to the present value of benefits. For active employees, this is equal to the present value of
benefits less the present value of future normal costs.
The Normal Cost is that portion of the County provided benefit attributable to employee service in
the current year. The Normal Cost remains level as a percentage of pay throughout the participant’s
assumed working lifetime. Since retirees are not accruing any more service, their normal cost is
zero.

Exhibit 2. Liabilities and Normal Cost
The Present Value of Benefits is the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid for all
eligible retirees and covered employees.
The Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) is the present value of benefits that are attributed to past
service only. The portion attributed to future employee service is excluded. For retirees, this is
equal to the present value of benefits. For active employees, this is equal to the present value of
benefits less the present value of future normal costs
The Normal Cost is that portion of the County provided benefit attributable to employee service in
the current year. The Normal Cost remains level as a percentage of pay throughout the participant’s
assumed working lifetime. Since retirees are not accruing any more service, their normal cost is
zero.

Exhibit 7. Value of Subsidized Early Retiree Health Premium
Currently, the County charges early retirees not yet eligible for Medicare a health premium based on
the claims experience of both actives and retirees. Since health claim costs generally increase with
age, retiree health premiums would be significantly higher if they were determined without regard to
active claims experience. GASB 45 requires that the portion of age-adjusted expected retiree health
claim costs that exceed the carrier premiums (known as an “implicit rate subsidy”) be recognized as
a liability for accounting purposes. Implicit rate subsidies for spouses of retirees must also be valued
in determining the ARC under GASB 45. The following table shows the County’s GASB 45 liability
broken down by the County’s actual payments toward retiree premiums and the “subsidized” value
of retiree health premiums.

Currently, employees may receive retiree health benefits if they retire from the County, are receiving
a pension from CCCERA, and meet certain eligibility requirements as follows:
General employees - age 50 with 10 years of pension service or age 70 with a vested pension, or
after 30 years of pension service with no age requirement.
Safety employees - age 50 with 10 years of pension service or age 70 with a vested pension, or after
20 years of pension service with no age requirement.

Health Insurance Premium Rates (non-PEMHCA)
The following table shows monthly retiree health insurance premiums for the 2016 calendar year for
coverage under various health plans sponsored by Contra Costa County, and the County’s subsidies
as frozen at the 2011 level.
Effective January 1, 2017, the medical premium tier structure is expected to change from two tiers
(retiree only, retiree plus one or more dependents) to three tiers (retiree only, retiree plus one
dependent, and retiree plus two or more dependents) for Non-Medicare Retirees. Effective when
the three tier system goes into effect for Non-Medicare retirees, the County’s premium caps
established in 2011 will continue to apply for single and two party coverage: “retiree only” cap for
single coverage and retiree plus one or more dependent cap applies for the retiree plus one
dependent tier. For certain retirees who retired before January 1, 2016, the County will increase the
monthly medical plan premium subsidies for the new non-Medicare Retiree plus Two or More
Dependents tier (defined as Tier III) by $150. For retirees retiring on or after January 1, 2016, the
County subsidy for Tier III will be the same as for Tier II as shown in the table below.
Effective January 1, 2021 for certain retirees who retired before January 1, 2016, the amount of the
County monthly medical plan premium subsidy will increase by $25 for the Medicare retiree only tier
and for the retiree plus one or more dependents on Medicare tier.

GASB 45 Actuarial Valuation as of January 1, 2016 22
Milliman Client Report SECTION III. APPENDICES
Appendix B. Actuarial Cost Method and Assumptions
Actuarial Cost Method The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligations is
the individual Entry Age Normal Cost Method. Under the principles of this method, the actuarial
present value of the projected benefits of each individual included in the valuation is allocated as a
level percentage of expected salary for each year of employment between entry age (defined as age
at hire) and assumed exit.
The portion of this actuarial present value allocated to a valuation year is called the normal cost.
The portion of this actuarial present value not provided for at a valuation date by the sum of (a) the
actuarial value of the assets, and (b) the actuarial present value of future normal costs is called the
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL).
The Actuarial Value of Assets is equal to the market value of assets as of the valuation date. In
determining the Annual Required Contribution, the Unfunded AAL is amortized as a level dollar
amount over 30 years on a “closed” basis. There are 22 years remaining in the amortization period
as of January 1, 2016. The actuarial assumptions are summarized below.
Economic Assumptions
Discount Rate (Liabilities) 5.70%
We have used a discount rate of 5.70% in this valuation to reflect the County’s current policy of
partially funding its OPEB liabilities. This rate is derived based on the fund’s investment policy, level
of partial funding, and includes a 2.50% long-term inflation assumption. County OPEB Irrevocable
Trust assets are invested in the Public Agency Retirement Services’ Highmark Portfolio. Based on
the portfolio’s target allocation (shown below), the average return of Trust assets over the next 50
years is expected to be 6.13%, which would be an appropriate discount rate if the County’s annual
contribution is equal to the ARC. If the County were to elect not to fund any amount to a Trust, the
discount rate would be based on the expected return of the County’s general fund (we have
assumed a long term return of 3.50% for the County’s general fund). Since the County is partially
funding the Trust with a contribution of $20 million per year, we used a blended discount rate of
5.70%. This is the same discount rate used in the January 1, 2014 actuarial valuation.

Coverage Election Assumptions
Retiree Coverage – We have assumed 90% of new retirees hired before the exclusion date stated in
Appendix A will elect medical and dental coverage at retirement. For employees hired after the
exclusion date stated in Appendix A, we assumed 50% will elect to enroll in the health plans without
any County subsidy.
Spouse Coverage – We have assumed 50% of new General retirees and 60% of new Safety retirees
electing coverage will elect spouse medical and dental coverage at retirement.
Spouse Age – Female spouses are assumed to be three years younger than male spouses.
Dependent Coverage – We have assumed 30% of retirees with no spouse coverage will elect
coverage for a dependent child until age 65 and 50% of retirees with spouse coverage will elect
coverage for a dependent child until age 65.
Health Plan Election – We have assumed that new retirees will remain enrolled in the same plan they
were enrolled in as actives. For actives who waived coverage, we have assumed that they will elect
Kaiser plan coverage. For retirees enrolled in either the CalPERS Anthem or Blue Shield plans, we
assumed they will transfer to the United Health Care Medicare Supplement plan upon reaching age
65, as the CalPERS health plan no longer offers Anthem or Blue Shield coverage for Medicare eligible
retirees.
Valuation of Retiree Premium Subsidy Due to Active Health Costs
Currently, the County and California PERS (PEMHCA) health plans charge the same premiums for
retirees who are not yet eligible for Medicare as for active employees. Therefore, the retiree
premium rates are being subsidized by the inclusion of active lives in setting rates. (Premiums
calculated only based on retiree health claims experience would have resulted in higher retiree
premiums.) GASB 45 requires that the value of this subsidy be recognized as a liability in valuations
of OPEB costs.
To account for the fact that per member health costs vary depending on age (higher health costs at
older ages), we calculated equivalent per member per month (PMPM) costs that vary by age based
on the age distribution of covered members, and based on relative cost factors by age. The relative
cost factors were developed from the Milliman Health Cost GuidelinesTM. Based on the carrier
premium rates and relative age cost factors assumptions, we developed age adjusted monthly
PMPM health costs for 2016 to be used in valuing the implicit rate subsidy.
Effective January 1, 2017, the medical premium tier structure will change from two tiers (retiree only,
retiree plus one or more dependents) to three tiers (retiree only, retiree plus one dependent, and
retiree plus two or more dependents) for certain Non-Medicare Retirees. We assume no change in
the value of the implicit premium rate subsidy for retirees not yet eligible for Medicare due to this
change. Under the new tier structure, the active and non-Medicare retiree premium rates would
remain pooled and blended meaning an implicit rate subsidy would continue under the proposed
plan. However, the liability associated with the implicit rate subsidy could increase, decrease, or
stay approximately the same depending on the relative premium costs by rate tier for the new three
tier premium structure. Since new relative costs by tier for the proposed three tier structure are not
yet known, we could not value the effect the proposed three tier structure would have on the implicit
rate subsidy liability in this valuation until the actual rate premiums are known.

Since retirees eligible for Medicare (age 65 and beyond) are enrolled in Medicare supplemental plans,
the premiums for retirees with Medicare are determined without regard to active employee claims
experience and no such subsidy exists for this group for medical cost.

Medical Cost Inflation Assumption
We assumed future increases to the health costs and premiums are based on the “Getzen” model
published by the Society of Actuaries for purposes of evaluating long term medical trend. Under the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, a Federal excise tax will apply for high cost
health plans beginning in 2020. A margin to reflect the impact of the excise tax in future years is
reflected in the assumed trend. The following table shows the assumed rate increases in future
years for Medical premiums.

Appendix C. Changes in Actuarial Cost Method and Assumptions
The following is a list of assumption and method changes from the prior actuarial valuation. The Board
adopted the changes in April 2016.
Actuarial Cost Method
The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligations was changed from the
Projected Unit Credit cost method to the individual Entry Age Normal cost method. This is the
actuarial cost method adopted by the GASB board in June 2015 for the upcoming GASB 74/75
standards in which the implementation date for the OPEB Fund under GASB 74 will be for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2017, and for the County under GASB 75 will be for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2018.
Spouse Coverage Election Assumption
The spouse coverage election assumption was changed from 50% for all new retirees electing
coverage to 50% for all new General retirees electing coverage and 60% for all new Safety retirees
electing coverage. The assumption is based on a review of the County experience from 2012 to 2015.
Health Cost Inflation Assumption
We developed the medical cost trend for the prior valuation based on the “Getzen” model published by
the Society of Actuaries for purposes of evaluating long term medical trend. The medical trend
includes the effect of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, on future health costs.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 delayed the excise tax on high cost plans from 2018 to
2020, and eliminated the Health Insurer Fee for calendar year 2017 only. The Health Insurer Fee
will be assessed again in calendar year 2018. The medical trend was updated to reflect these
recent legislative changes.
Retirement Rates for PEPRA Tier Employees
The PEPRA Tier retirement rates developed by CCCERA was used for employees hired on or after
January 1, 2013. The rates are shown in Appendix B.

Subject:Proposed Health Plan Changes for Specified Retirees who Retired on or after January 1, 2016 or opted out of Retiree
Support Group Settlement
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 66
BACKGROUND:
On October 25, 2016, the court gave final approval to the class action settlement in Retiree Support Group of
Contra Costa County et al. v. Contra Costa County. The Settlement Agreement covers a class of 4,200 retirees
who retired on or before January 1, 2016, and participate in County health plans. Pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, the Non-Medicare Retirees in the retiree class will be placed in a three tier premium structure effective
January 1, 2017. The County monthly premiums subsidies for the retiree class are fixed at the dollar amounts
stated in the Agreement. Effective January 1, 2017, the Settlement Agreement provides a $150 increase to the
fixed monthly premium subsidy for Non-Medicare Retirees in the Retiree Plus Two or More tier only. A separate
$25 increase to the fixed monthly premium subsidy for Medicare Retirees With All Dependents on Medicare
occurs in 2021. These specified increases apply only to members of the retiree class.
If approved, this action will move specified Non-Medicare retirees who either retired on or after January 1, 2016
or opted out of Retiree Support Group Settlement to a three tier premium structure effective January 1, 2017. The
County monthly premiums subsidies for these specified retirees remain fixed at the flat dollar amounts stated in the
applicable negotiated memorandum of understanding or management resolution. Non-Medicare retirees will have
access to all ten County health plans, including the Teamsters 856 Trust Fund KP Health Plan.
The specified retirees are those Non-Medicare retirees participating in County health plans who either retired on
or after January 1, 2016, or opted out of the Retiree Support Group Settlement and were represented by one of the
following bargaining units at the time of retirement:
AFSCME 5121.
AFSCME 27002.
CCC Defenders Association3.
CCC Deputy District Attorneys Association4.
CCC Employees' Association, Local 15.

Physicians and Dentists Organization of Contra Costa7.
Probation Peace Officers of CCC8.
SEIU Local 10219.
Teamsters, Local 85610.
Western Council of Engineers11.
Unrepresented12.
Attached are the medical and dental premiums and subsidies for the 2017 plan year for qualifying retirees.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Specified Non-Medicare retirees would not have access to the three tier structure, which is generally more
advantageous for Retirees and would not have access to all ten County health plans.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
5. AUTHORIZE the publication of the ordinance summary prepared by County Counsel in accordance with
Government Code section 25124.
6. DIRECT the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to post at its office, and each Fire District to post at its office, a
certified copy of the full text of Ordinance No. 2016-23, as adopted, with the names of the Supervisors/Directors
voting for and against the ordinance, in accordance with Government Code section 25124.
7. FIND that adoption of the ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15061(b)(3).
8. DIRECT staff to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is neutral. The adoption of this ordinance will provide the administrative authority to enforce the
provisions of the California Fire Code as amended.
BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Commission has adopted and published the 2016 Building Standards Code,
which includes the 2016 California Fire Code prepared and adopted by the State Fire Marshal. The statewide code
becomes effective January 1, 2017.
Although the code applies statewide, Health and Safety Code sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize a local
jurisdiction to modify or change the statewide code and establish more restrictive standards if the jurisdiction
finds that the modifications and changes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or
topographical conditions. Ordinance No. 2016-23 adopts the 2016 California Fire Code and amends it to address
local conditions. There are several material changes to the local ordinance previously adopted by the Board in the
2013 code adoption process, as detailed below.
The attached ordinance amends the 2016 California Fire Code by establishing automatic sprinkler system
requirements that are more restrictive than the sprinkler requirements in the statewide code. The attached
ordinance requires the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in most commercial buildings greater than
5,000 square feet, and in private and charter schools greater than 2,000 square feet. New public schools are
required to install fire sprinklers regardless of square footage. Reducing the sprinkler threshold to 2,000 square
feet for private schools brings the requirement more in line with public schools. Several other occupancies were
clarified to require sprinklers as well, including light hazard warehouse type occupancies. The more restrictive
requirements are necessary due to Contra Costa County’s climatic, geological, and topographical conditions,
which impact fire prevention efforts and the frequency, spread, acceleration, intensity, and size of fire involving
buildings. The automatic sprinkler system requirements are set forth in Section 903.2 of the attached ordinance.
The automatic sprinkler system requirements specific to schools are set forth in Section 903.2.3 of the attached
ordinance.
The attached ordinance also clarifies a requirement for standby EMS personnel for large events that may tax the
EMS system. The clarification is necessary because the statewide code as written does not assume that a fire
agency is also an ambulance providing entity.
The fire districts’ existing weed abatement program is incorporated into Section 320 of the ordinance. This
program authorizes the fire districts to declare certain weeds that pose a fire hazard as a public nuisance, to abate
those weeds, and to recover abatement costs from property owners.
Chapter 5 and Appendix D of the ordinance establish requirements for fire apparatus access roads, including
requirements for turnouts, parking on access roads, and maximum grades.
Several other provisions were removed from the local ordinance previously adopted by the Board in the 2013
code adoption process because the provisions have been incorporated into the updated 2016 California Fire Code.
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 73
Notice of the public hearing was published in accordance with Government Code section 6066. A summary of the
ordinance was prepared and published in accordance with Government Code section 25124(b).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the adoption of the 2016 California Fire Code (CFC) with local amendments, the Fire District will not
have the legal authority to enforce any exterior hazard abatement standards or the ability to conduct fire and life
safety inspections in occupancies other than high-rise buildings, schools, hotels, motels, apartments, and day care
facilities. In addition, without adoption of the CFC, occupancies that conduct operations such as the production,
storage, and sale of hazardous materials, places of assembly, and the review of construction documents and testing
of fire protection and fire alarm systems would no longer be regulated by the Fire District.
Furthermore, adoption of the 2016 CFC is necessary to continue allowing the Fire District to collect fees to
recover the costs of providing fire prevention related services. Without adoption of the CFC, as amended, the Fire
District general fund revenues would be required to provide the fiscal support necessary to fund the positions
currently supported by operational permit and inspection fees and new construction plan review fees. This would
result in a decrease in the amount of general fund revenues available for conducting emergency response activities
or critical fire prevention services and personnel would need to be reduced or eliminated.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.

cause why the order should not be enforced. For good cause shown, the Board of Fire Commissioners may
extend the time for compliance with the order or may rescind the order.
320.5.3 Contract Award. If the owner fails to comply with the order, the fire code official may have the
weeds and rubbish abated either by employees of this jurisdiction or by contract. If a contract is awarded, it
will be by public bid, awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. A contract may include work on more than
one parcel. Concerning any contract previously awarded as provided in this subsection and that has been
fully extended as provided in that contract, it may thereafter be extended on its same terms and conditions
for a further period (not to exceed one year) by agreement of the Board of Supervisors and the involved
contractor.
320.5.4 Abatement Report of Costs. The fire code official or his or her designee abating the nuisance will
keep an account of the cost of abatement in front of or on each separate parcel of land and will render an

the Board of Fire Commissioners may make such modifications in the report as it deems necessary, after
which the report will be confirmed. The amount of the cost, including administrative costs, of abating the
nuisance in front of or upon the various parcels of the land mentioned in the report as confirmed will
constitute special assessment against the respective parcels of land, and are a lien on the property for the

provided for ordinary county taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of county
taxes are applicable to these assessment taxes.
320.6 Alternate Mitigation. In lieu of ordering abatement as provided in Section 320.5.1, the fire code
official of this jurisdiction may order the preparation of firebreaks/fuelbreaks around parcels of property
where combustible weeds, crops, or brush are present. In determining the proper width for

a subsurface fire involving the burning or combustion of peat, vegetable matter, or vegetation, and the
owner or occupant thereof has not taken reasonable precautions within a reasonable time to extinguish or
minimize such fire or combustion, this jurisdiction may, in addition to its regular duties to extinguish or
minimize such fire or combustion, go upon the lands of any person as herein defined and extinguish such
fire or combustion. Any costs incurred by the Fire District in fighting the fire and for the cost of proving

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT,
AND CROCKETT-CARQUINEZ FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF AMENDMENTS TO THE 2016 CALIFORNIA BUILDING
STANDARDS CODE, TITLE 24, PART 9, CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE
The California Building Standards Commission has adopted and published the 2016 California
Fire Code. The purpose of the code is to regulate and govern the safeguarding of life and property
from fire and explosion hazards arising from the storage, handling, and use of hazardous
substances, materials, and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the
occupancy of buildings and premises.
Health and Safety Code section 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize a local jurisdiction to modify or
change the statewide codes and establish more restrictive building standards if the jurisdiction
finds that the modifications and changes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geological, or topographical conditions.
Ordinance No. 2016-23 adopts the 2016 California Fire Code and amends it to address local
conditions. Pursuant to Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 of the Health and Safety Code, the Contra
Costa County Board of Supervisors, in its capacity as the Board of Supervisors and the Board of
Directors of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and the Crockett-Carquinez Fire
Protection District, finds that the more restrictive standards contained in Ordinance No. 2016-23
are reasonably necessary because of certain local climatic, geological, and topographic conditions
that are described below.
Local Conditions
A. Climatic
1. Precipitation and Relative Humidity
(a) Conditions
Precipitation ranges from 15 to 24 inches per year with an average of
approximately 20 inches per year. Ninety-six (96) percent falls during the
months of October through April and four (4) percent from May through
September. This is a dry period of at least five (5) months each year.
Additionally, the area is subject to occasional drought. Relative humidity
remains in the middle range most of the time. It ranges from forty-five (45)
to sixty-five (65) percent during spring, summer, fall, and from sixty (60)
to ninety (90) percent in the winter. It occasionally falls as low as fifteen
(15) percent.
(b) Impact
Locally experienced dry periods cause extreme dryness of untreated wood
shakes and shingles on buildings and non-irrigated grass, brush, and weeds,
which are often near buildings with wood roofs and sidings. Such dryness
causes these materials to ignite very readily and burn rapidly and intensely.
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 127
Because of dryness, a rapidly burning grass fire or exterior building fire can
quickly transfer to other buildings by means of radiation or flying brands,
sparks, and embers. A small fire can rapidly grow to a magnitude beyond
the control capabilities of the Fire District resulting in an excessive fire loss.
2. Temperature
(a) Conditions
Temperatures have been recorded as high as 114° F. Average summer highs
are in the 90° range, with average maximums of 105° F.
(b) Impact
High temperatures cause rapid fatigue and heat exhaustion of firefighters,
thereby reducing their effectiveness and ability to control large building and
wildland fires.
Another impact from high temperatures is that combustible building
material and non-irrigated weeds, grass, and brush are preheated, thus
causing these materials to ignite more readily and burn more rapidly and
intensely. Additionally, the resultant higher temperature of the atmosphere
surrounding the materials reduces the effectiveness of the water being
applied to the burning materials. This requires that more water be applied,
which in turn requires more Fire District resources in order to control a fire
on a hot day. High temperatures directly contribute to the rapid growth of
fires to an intensity and magnitude beyond the control capabilities of the
Fire District.
3. Winds
(a) Conditions
Prevailing winds in the area are from the south or southwest in the mornings
and from the north or northwest in the afternoons. However, winds are
experienced from virtually every direction at one time or another.
Velocities are generally in the fourteen (14) mph to twenty-three (23) mph
ranges, gusting to twenty-five (25) to thirty-five (35) mph. Forty (40) mph
winds are experienced occasionally and winds up to fifty-five (55) mph
have been registered locally. During the winter half of the year, strong, dry,
gusty winds from the north move through the area for several days creating
extremely dry conditions.
(b) Impact
Winds such as those experienced locally can and do cause fires, both interior
and exterior, to burn and spread rapidly. Fires involving non-irrigated
weeds, grass, and brush can grow to a magnitude and be fanned to intensity
beyond the control capabilities of the Fire District very quickly even by
relatively moderate winds. During wood shake and shingle roof fires, or
exposure fires, winds can carry sparks and burning brands to other
structures, thus spreading the fire and causing conflagrations. When such
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 128
fires are not controlled, they can extend to nearby buildings, particularly
those with untreated wood shakes or shingles. In building fires, winds can
literally force fires back into the building and can create a blow torch effect,
in addition to preventing “natural” ventilation and cross-ventilation efforts.
Winds of the type experienced locally also reduce the effectiveness of
exterior water streams used by the Fire District on fires involving large
interior areas of buildings, fires which have vented through windows and
roofs due to inadequate built-in fire protection and fires involving wood
shake and shingle building exteriors. Local winds will continue to be a
definite factor towards causing major fire losses to buildings not provided
with fire resistive roof and siding materials and buildings with inadequately
separated interior areas or lacking automatic fire protection systems.
National statistics frequently cite wind conditions, such as those
experienced locally, as a major factor where conflagrations have occurred.
B. Geological and Topographic
1. Seismicity
(a) Conditions
Contra Costa County is located in Seismic Risk Zone 4, which is the worst
earthquake area in the United States. Buildings and other structures in Zone
4 can experience major seismic damage. Contra Costa County is in close
proximity to the San Andreas Fault and contains all or portions of the
Hayward, Calaveras, Concord, Antioch, Mt. Diablo, and other lesser faults.
A 4.1 earthquake with its epicenter in Concord occurred in 1958, and a 5.4
earthquake with its epicenter also in Concord occurred in 1955. The
Concord and Antioch faults have a potential for a Richter 6 earthquake and
the Hayward and Calaveras faults have the potential for a Richter 7
earthquake. Minor tremblers from seismic activity are not uncommon in
the area.
The fire environment of a community is primarily a combination of two
factors: the area’s physical geologic characteristics and a historic pattern of
urban-suburban development. These two factors, alone and combined,
create a mixture of environments which ultimately determines the area’s
fire protection needs. The Fire District has 3 distinct areas. They are: the
West, which includes the City of San Pablo and the communities of North
Richmond, El Sobrante, and East Richmond Heights: the Central, which
includes the Cities of Lafayette, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Walnut
Creek, Clayton, and the communities of Clyde, Pacheco, Alhambra Valley,
and Alamo; and the East, which includes the Cities of Antioch and Pittsburg
and the community of Bay Point.
Because of the size of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (304
Square miles), the characteristics of the fire environment changes from one
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 129
location to the next. Therefore the District has not one, but a number of fire
environments, each of which has its individual fire protection needs from
two major oil refineries, to heavy industrial facilities, freeways, rail lines,
waterways, port facilities, wildland areas, urban and suburban town
settings, and major downtown areas.
Interstates 80 and 680, State Highways 4, 24, and 242, Bay Area Rapid
Transit District (BART), and major thoroughfares travel throughout the
District. There are 2 major rail lines which run through the District. An
overpass or underpass crossing collapse would alter the response route and
time for responding emergency equipment. This is due to the limited
crossings of the major highways and rail lines.
Earthquakes of the magnitude experienced locally can cause major damage
to electrical transmission facilities, which, in turn, cause power failures
while at the same time starting fires throughout the Fire District. The
occurrence of multiple fires will quickly deplete existing fire district
resources; thereby reducing and/or delaying their response to any given fire.
Additionally, without electrical power, elevators, smoke management
systems, lighting systems, alarm systems, and other electrical equipment
urgently needed for building evacuation and fire control in large buildings
without emergency generator systems would be inoperative, thereby
resulting in loss of life and/or major fire losses in such buildings.
(b) Impact
A major earthquake could severely restrict the response of the Fire District
and its capability to control fires involving buildings of wood frame
construction, with ordinary wood shake and shingle exteriors, or with large
interior areas not provided with automatic smoke and fire control systems.
2. Soils
(a) Conditions
The area is replete with various soils, which are unstable, clay loam and
alluvial fans being predominant. These soil conditions are moderately to
severely prone to swelling and shrinking, are plastic, and tend to liquefy.
Throughout the Fire District, the topography and development growth has
created a network of older, narrow roads. These roads vary from gravel to
asphalt surface and vary in percent of slope, many exceeding twenty (20)
percent. Several of these roads extend up through the winding passageways
in the hills providing access to remote, affluent housing subdivisions. Many
of these roads are private with no established maintenance program. During
inclement weather, these roads are subject to rock and mudslides, as well as
down trees, obstructing all vehicle traffic. It is anticipated that during an
earthquake, several of these roads would be practically impassable.
3. Topographic
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 130
(a) Conditions
(i) Vegetation
The service area of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District has a varied topography and vegetative cover. A
conglomeration of flat lands, hills, and ridges make up the terrain.
Development has occurred on the flat lands in the District and in
the past 15 years development has spread into the hills, valleys,
and ridge lands of the District.
Highly combustible dry grass, weeds, and brush are common in the
hilly and open space areas adjacent to built-up locations six (6) to
eight (8) months of each year. Many of these areas frequently
experience wildland fires, which threaten nearby buildings,
particularly those with wood roofs, or sidings. This condition can
be found throughout the Fire District, especially in those fully
developed areas and those areas marked for future development.
(ii) Surface Features
The arrangement and location of natural and manmade surface
features, including hills, creeks, canals, freeways, housing tracts,
commercial development, fire stations, streets, and roads, combine
to limit efficient response routes for Fire District resources into and
through many areas.
(iii) Buildings, Landscaping and Terrain
Many of the “newer” large buildings and building complexes have
access and landscaping features or designs which preclude, or
greatly limit, efficient approach or operational access to them by
Fire District vehicles. In addition, the presence of security gates,
roads of inadequate width and grades which are too steep for Fire
District vehicles create an adverse impact on fire suppression
efforts.
When Fire District vehicles cannot gain access to buildings involved
with fire, the potential for complete loss is realized. Difficulty
reaching a fire site often requires additional fire personnel and
resources to successfully and safely mitigate the event. Access
problems often result in severely delaying, misdirecting, or making
fire and smoke control efforts unsuccessful.
(b) Impact
The above local geological and topographical conditions increase the
magnitude, exposure, accessibility problems, and fire hazards presented to
the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. Fire following an
earthquake has the potential of causing greater loss of life and damage than
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 131
the earthquake itself. Hazardous materials, particularly toxic gases, could
pose the greatest threat to the largest number, should a significant seismic
event occur. Public Safety resources would have to be prioritized to
mitigate the greatest threat, and may likely be unavailable for smaller single
dwelling or structure fires.
Other variables may intensify the situation:
1. The extent of damage to the water system.
2. The extents of isolation due to bridge and/or freeway overpass
collapse.
3. The extent of roadway damage and/or amount of debris blocking the
roadways.
4. Climatic conditions (hot, dry weather with high winds).
5. Time of day will influence the amount of traffic on roadways and
could intensify the risk to life during normal business hours.
6. The availability of timely mutual aid or military assistance.
7. The large portion of dwellings with wood shake or shingles
coverings could result in conflagrations.
Necessity for More Restrictive Standards
Because of the conditions described above, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, in its
capacity as the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Directors of the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District and the Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District, finds that there are building
and fire hazards unique to Contra Costa County that requires the increased fire protection
requirements set forth in Ordinance No. 2016-23.
The ordinance amends Chapter 1 (Scope and Administration) of the statewide Fire Code by
requiring a permit for certain activities and operations that pose fire hazards. The ordinance
amends the statewide Fire Code by incorporating into Chapter 3 (General Precautions Against
Fire) the fire districts’ existing weed abatement program that authorizes the fire districts to declare
certain weeds that pose a fire hazard as a public nuisance and to abate those weeds. The ordinance
amends Chapter 4 of the statewide Fire Code (Emergency Planning and Preparedness) to require
standby EMS personnel for large events as well as standby fire personnel to account for the fact
that the fire district is both the local fire and EMS provider. The ordinance amends the statewide
Fire Code by reducing the square footage thresholds found in Chapter 9 (Fire Protection Systems)
for installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in most commercial buildings and in private
and charter schools. The ordinance amends Chapter 5 (Fire Service Features) and Appendix D
(Fire Apparatus Access Roads) of the statewide Fire Code to establish requirements for fire
apparatus access roads.

Subject:Permit Review of Keller Canyon Landfill's Land Use Permit
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 133
BACKGROUND:
This is the second permit review of the Keller Canyon Landfill (KCL) LUP conditions of approval. The staff
report to the County Planning Commission (CPC) was prepared in accordance with LUP condition 11.1 and the
Permit Review Criteria (Exhibit C), approved by the Board in 1995. Condition 11.1 affords the Board of
Supervisors the opportunity to approve new and/or modified conditions of approval to improve public health,
safety, and welfare. It also provides for approval of new or modified conditions to address inconsistencies
resulting from court decisions or regulatory changes made since the permit was approved or was most recently
amended/modified. As a result of the second permit review detailed in the report reviewed by the CPC on October
11, 2016 (Exhibit B), it was concluded that there is no need to recommend approval of any new or modified
conditions of approval for the existing KCL LUP. (i.e. no changes recommended to the modified permit
conditions approved by the Board last year)
KCL PERMIT REVIEW: OCTOBER 2014 - SEPTEMBER 2015
The first permit review process began in 2014 and was fully concluded in September 2015. In accordance with the
approved Permit Review Criteria (Exhibit C), the Board added five new conditions and modified 82 of the
existing conditions due to the approvals granted in response to the initial permit review process. The modifications
to the LUP conditions better reflect the established landfill operations in the context of present day environmental
and regulatory settings. The first permit review process began similarly to this permit review, with staff compiling
information called for in Part I of the Permit Review Criteria in order to prepare the permit review staff report
presented to the CPC in October 2014. That report provided substantive information about the 22 year operational
and regulatory history since the landfill opened in 1992, as well as other information called for in the Criteria. It
was accompanied by a Compliance Status Table exhibit that addressed each of the existing conditions of approval.
The Board of Supervisors heard the first LUP review report from the CPC on December 16, 2014. Following a
lengthy discussion at this meeting, the Board unanimously approved modifications recommended for three
conditions of approval (20.3, 25.4, and 31.5). These three conditions were modified to explicitly allow for certain
materials being used as alternative daily cover (ADC) at the landfill. The permit review was continued to March 3,
2015, as an open public hearing because the Board directed staff to provide additional information they wanted to
consider before acting on the remaining recommended modifications. Staff was directed to research and report
back on several additional, separate but related items pertaining to on-site material recovery, the City of Pittsburg
proposal to take over as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA), potential County fee/surcharge revenue impacts
expected to result if the optional direct haul restrictions were approved, and any California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) implications resulting from approving either version of new and modified conditions of approval.
In response to Board direction, staff prepared a detailed report on the KCL permit review for the March 3, 2015
meeting. That open public hearing was continued to March 31, 2015, and then again to July 21, 2015, at the
request of the District V Supervisor. At that meeting, Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) staff
recommended that the Board of Supervisors (Board) continue the item once more to September 22, 2015, so that
the District V Supervisor could participate in the decision making process. Staff’s report to the Board in
September 2015 presented detailed explanations on the additional topics mentioned above. At that time the Board
was presented with two options for new and modified conditions to consider. The primary difference between the
two options were the proposed new conditions, where one version allowed loads of mixed construction and
demolition (C&D) material suitable for recovery at local transfer stations to be direct hauled to the landfill
contingent upon the implementation of certain on-site waste recovery, and the other option required those loads
go through a transfer station first. The Board approved the option that limited the direct haul of materials that
would be potentially recovered if first delivered to a transfer station in accordance with previously approved Board
policy that had not been formerly integrated into the LUP. However, the Board approval allowed a grace period
of 18 months for the four new direct haul conditions to take effect following the September 22, 2015 hearing.
PERMIT REVIEW HEARING - COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION: OCTOBER 2016
A public hearing was held before the CPC on Tuesday, October 11, 2016, to review the existing conditions of
approval for KCL's LUP, as modified in September 2015. Condition 11.1 affords the Board of Supervisors the
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 134
opportunity to review the conditions and determine if any new or modified conditions are needed to improve
public health, safety, and welfare. The condition also makes clear the County is not precluded from addressing
emergency situations, or new requirements imposed by legislation or the courts. Staff concluded that no new or
modified conditions needed to be recommended for the existing KCL LUP as a result of this second permit
review process which is documented in the attached report presented to the CPC, in accordance with the Board
approved Permit Review Criteria.
A substantive amount of time was dedicated to researching and compiling information, as well as working with
the landfill operator and other governmental agencies to prepare the report and associated exhibits presented to the
CPC (Exhibits B and D). At the October 11, 2016 hearing, the CPC opened the public hearing and took testimony
from three speakers: a concerned resident living near the landfill, a permit engineer in the solid waste industry,
and a representative of a local Teamsters Union. The speakers supported staff's recommendation to the CPC. All
three speakers also spoke favorably of the four new conditions of approval related to the direct haul of C&D
material, which were added in the previous permit review approved in 2015. As noted previously, the Board
granted an 18 month grace period for the direct haul conditions to go into effect, so they will become effective in
late March 2017. Staff expects the landfill operator to begin developing documentation and implementing the
tasks necessary to comply with the new conditions by the time they take effect next Spring. The County Planning
Commission then closed the public hearing and voted to recommend that the Board of Supervisors accept the
Permit Review Report (Exhibit B) and direct DCD staff to schedule the next permit review in one year.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not accept the report on the second KCL land use permit, the existing conditions of approval
would still remain in effect and continue to govern the use of the landfill site.

1. SHORT TITLE
1.1 Short Title. The Keller Canyon Landfill project is henceforth referred to in
this document as the Landfill.
2. RESPONSIBILITY
2.1 Ultimate Responsibility. The conditions of approval identify the Landfill
developer as the party responsible for implementing conditions involving
construction and improvements, and the Landfill operator for implementing
conditions involving maintenance and management. Regardless of these
identifications, the Landfill owner shall be responsible for complying with all
conditions.
2.2 Transfer of Ownership. The Land Use Permit for the Landfill shall run with
the land; however, a new owner shall be responsible for notifying the County
Conservation and Development Department of any change in ownership. A
change in ownership shall be interpreted to mean the acquisition of 5
percent or more of the value of the Landfill site covered by this Land Use
Permit. (It is noted that other permits may not necessarily run with the land.)
2.3 Assignment of Responsibility.
a) The Board may assign the responsibility of administering specific
Conditions of Approval or provisions of this LUP, such as State
Minimum Standards, to County Departments or other units of
government.
b) The Board may suspend the implementation of conditions or
provisions of this LUP where such conditions or provisions are
inconsistent with the terms of a contract or agreement entered into
between the Board and the operator or other units of government, or
by the terms of a joint powers agreement where the County is a
member of the joint powers agency. This would not alleviate the need
to comply with the public approval process required when amending
this LUP. Any Board approved suspension would automatically be
nullified at such time as the contract or agreement no longer includes
terms inconsistent with the specified condition.
c) For the purposes of Condition 2.3(b), the Franchise Agreement
between the County and the Landfill Owner as amended in
November 1994, is an eligible contract.
d) If no contract or agreement is in force, as referred to in Condition
2.3(b), the County retains authority to implement this LUP and all of
its Conditions.
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 164

3. COMPLIANCE
3.1 Compliance Objective. The Landfill developer and operator shall at all
times comply with the requirements of laws and permits applicable to the
facility. This condition is not intended to grant authority or assign
responsibility to the County for the independent enforcement of regulatory
and permitting requirements that fall within the primary jurisdiction of other
agencies (see Condition 11.11).
3.2 Design Standard. The Landfill developer shall design the Landfill facility to
meet the requirements of the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control
Board for a Class II waste disposal facility.
3.3 State Minimum Standards. The operation and maintenance of this facility
shall at all times comply with Minimum Standards for Solid Waste Handling
and Disposal (California Code of Regulations, Title 14 and Title 27).
3.4 Land Use Permits. The Landfill developer and operator shall at all times
comply with the provisions and requirements of this Land Use Permit. A
violation of any of these conditions may be cause for revocation of the Land
Use Permit pursuant to County Code Section 418-4.020 following
reasonable written notice. Alternatively, the County has the option of issuing
formal notices and assessing penalties pursuant to Section 4.19 of the
Landfill Franchise Agreement or County Code Chapter 14-6, Civil
Enforcement.
3.5 Solid Waste Facilities Permit. The Landfill operator shall conform with all
provisions and requirements of the Landfill's Solid Waste Facilities Permit,
and any related directives of the California Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) or Contra Costa Environmental
Health, as the Local Enforcement Agency for CalRecycle.
3.6 Class II Landfill Requirements. The Landfill operator shall at all times
comply with the Class II waste disposal facility provisions and
requirements of Article 3, Chapter 15 of Title 23 and Title 27 of the
California Code of Regulations.
3.7 Other Regulatory Agencies' Requirements. The Landfill operator shall at all
times comply with the provisions and requirements of other regulatory
agencies having jurisdiction over the facility.
3.8 Utilities, Service Districts, and Government Agencies' Requirements. The
Landfill developer or operator shall at all times comply with the regulations
and requirements of utilities, districts, or agencies which have jurisdiction
over the installation of improvements or provide services to the landfill.
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 165
Page 3
3.9 Notice Coordination. The Landfill operator shall notify the Department of
Conservation and Development (DCD) in writing at the time any report is
submitted to other agencies concerning the design, operation, and
maintenance of the Landfill. Copies shall be made available or mailed to
DCD offices at 30 Muir Road in Martinez upon request.
3.10 Monitoring and Inspection. All monitoring reports and results of inspection
or analysis shall be made available to the Contra Costa Environmental
Health and Conservation and Development Departments. Any indication of
an emergency or other serious problem relating to public health and safety
shall be reported at once.
3.11 Master Chart. The Landfill operator will maintain for reference a master
chart showing schedules and results of preparation, operation, monitoring
and reporting in all major phases of the facility.
4. VALIDITY PERIOD
4.1 Validity Period. The Landfill developer shall install pre-requisite
improvements and open the Landfill for receiving refuse within three years of
the final approval of the project's Solid Waste Facilities Permit. This validity
period shall be tolled while any appeal filed by parties other than the Landfill
developer is pending. The Landfill developer may request from the Director
of Community Development one or more one-year extensions of the Land
Use Permit. If the Land Use Permit is not implemented within the specified
time, it shall become null and void. The Director of Community
Development may allow each one-year extension if the Director finds that
there are changed circumstances which warrant the consideration of
changes to the Conditions of Approval.
4.2 Operative Date. This Land Use Permit is valid upon approval by the Board
of Supervisors. However, it shall not become operative until and unless the
permittee (landfill owner, etc.) first obtains and the Board of Supervisors
grants a franchise to or approves an agreement with permittee (see Section
13, Franchise Agreements).
5. SERVICE AREA
5.1 Area of Origin. The Landfill operator shall not refuse to receive eligible
wastes or cover materials which originate in Contra Costa County provided
such wastes or materials are delivered to the facility in accordance with
these Conditions of Approval and the landfill's Solid Waste Facilities Permit,
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 166
Page 4
and provided that the required governmental fees are paid. Rate setting
requirements are specified in the Landfill Franchise Agreement and Section
12 of this Land Use Permit.
5.2 Out-of-County Wastes. INVALIDATED BY LEGISLATURE
5.3 Sub-County Service Area. If there is more than one Class II or Class III
landfills operating in Contra Costa County, the Board of Supervisors may
establish sub-County service areas for each on a temporary or long-term
basis. If the Board has established a sub-County service area for the
Landfill, the operator shall not accept waste for disposal from outside such
area.
5.4 Reciprocal Capacity Agreement. The Landfill operator shall receive waste
from outside Contra Costa County if in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a Reciprocal Capacity Agreement entered into by Contra Costa
County with another county. Waste shall be received upon reasonable
notice to the Landfill operator and the Board of Supervisors and direction by
the Board to the Landfill operator as to the terms and conditions under which
the waste will be received. The Board may specify disposal charges which
are applicable only to the waste received under the Reciprocal Capacity
Agreement.
5.5 Pre-Requisite Curbside Recycling Program. The Landfill shall not admit for
disposal waste loads from communities which do not have an eligible
curbside recycling or equivalent program as determined by the Department
of Conservation and Development. An eligible program shall recover a range
of recyclable materials consistent with a curbside recycling program
operating pursuant to a Board of Supervisors-approved franchise
agreement.. The Board of Supervisors has the discretion to identify
additional factors to be considered when determining eligibility. The Board
retains the authority to approve community programs previously deemed to
be ineligible by the Department of Conservation and Development.
6. ELIGIBLE AND INELIGIBLE WASTES
6.1 Eligible Wastes. The Landfill operator shall allow only wastes eligible for
disposal in a Class II facility, as defined by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board to be admitted to the landfill. The wastes admitted to the
landfill shall also be consistent with the Solid Waste Facilities Permit (07-AA-
0032), administered by Contra Costa Environmental Health, and consistent
with the 1990 Environmental Impact Report and Board of Supervisors'
policies and approvals (including the Board of Supervisors conditional
authorization in 1992-93 to accept special wastes and limited direct haul –
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 167
Page 5
see Conditions 8.5 through 8.7) and these conditions of approval. To the
extent allowed by law, the Board of Supervisors may direct the Landfill
operator not to accept wastes that do not meet State and County policies
and regulations.
6.2 Designated Wastes. The Landfill operator shall allow only those designated
wastes (as defined in Section 20210 of Title 27, of the California Code of
Regulations and Section 13173 of the California Water Code) approved for
this facility by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board, and
shall be consistent with the waste types allowed for disposal pursuant to
Condition 6.1. The Board of Supervisors may designate special rates for
this waste to the extent allowed pursuant to the terms of the Landfill
Franchise Agreement.
6.3 Infectious Wastes. The Landfill operator shall accept only those infectious
wastes identified in, and disposed of in accordance with the Solid Waste
Facilities Permit.
6.4 Ineligible Wastes. The Landfill operator shall not allow the following wastes
to be disposed at the landfill:
a) Hazardous or toxic wastes.
b) Radioactive wastes.
c) Liquid wastes, other than utility sludges meeting Regional Water
Quality Control Board requirements.
d) Other ineligible wastes specified in the Solid Waste Facilities permit
administered by the Contra Costa Environmental Health.
6.5 Emergency Use. If the service area of the Landfill is determined to be a
sub-area of the County, the County Department of Conservation and
Development or Contra Costa Environmental Health may allow legal waste
originating in areas of Contra Costa County, other than those stipulated in
Section 5, to have access to the landfill for periods up to 180 days on an
emergency basis. The department(s) may grant one extension for no longer
than 180 days. The Board of Supervisors may allow the emergency use of
the landfill to continue for any time period deemed necessary.
6.6 Hazardous Waste Screening and Management. See Condition 19.
6.7 Area of Origin Restrictions. See Condition 5.
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 168
Page 6
7. LOAD INSPECTION
7.1 Eligible Vehicles and Loads. The Landfill operator shall screen loads to
limit to the extent practicable the intake of ineligible waste. Prior to receiving
waste, the Landfill operator shall prepare in writing a program for identifying
eligible vehicles and screening loads at the Landfill entrance, random
sampling and inspection for ineligible wastes, and checking loads at the
Landfill disposal area. The Load Inspection program shall include inspection
for hazardous wastes and procedures for their handling and off-site disposal
consistent with the Contra Costa County Hazardous Waste Management
Plan. The program shall be subject to the approval of Contra Costa
Environmental Health and the County Conservation and Development
Department.
7.2 Load Covering. The Landfill operator shall spot check all incoming waste-
hauling vehicles for proper covering or containerization consistent with the
requirements of Section 418-2.008(a) of the County Code. The operator
shall identify any waste loads which are susceptible to littering or leakage
because of the lack of covering, inadequate covering, or disrepair of
screens, covers or containers. Customers delivering any such waste loads
shall be required to provide evidence that corrective actions have been
taken to effectively cover and contain waste loads (e.g. waste adequately
secured with covers and containers in good repair) in order to be eligible to
deliver waste loads in the future. Landfill operator shall track and report
applicable details about the occurrences and corrective actions taken to the
County Department of Conservation and Development annually.
8. ELIGIBLE REFUSE TRANSPORT VEHICLES
8.1 Eligible Vehicles. The Landfill operator shall admit only the following refuse
transport vehicles:
a) Transfer station trucks (vans). Transfer stations shall have a Waste
Management Program, which includes hazardous waste screening
and resource recovery operations. Program may be subject to the
approval of the Board of Supervisors if deemed necessary for
consistency with the Countywide Integrated Waste Management
Plan.
b) Demolition and construction material trucks hauling debris that would
not be recycled or otherwise diverted from disposal if processed at a
local Transfer Station. There are waste reduction requirements that
apply to such wastes generated by businesses and industries,
therefore the operator shall assist the County to help ensure
compliance with such requirements or goals through implementation
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 169
Page 7
and compliance with Conditions 8.5 – 8.7.
c) Incinerated sewage sludge-hauling trucks originating at utilities.
d) Sewage and water treatment plant sludge and other byproduct trucks
with loads complying with San Francisco Regional Water Quality
Control Boards solids-to-liquid requirements.
e) Trucks hauling Designated Wastes approved for this landfill by the
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
f) Other specialized waste transport trucks, hauling wastes identified in
the Landfill's Solid Waste Facilities Permit which cannot be feasibly
processed to increase diversion through a Transfer Station.
8.2 Service Area Restriction. See Section 5.
8.3 Emergency Exemption. See Condition 6.5.
8.4 Reciprocal Use Exemption. See Condition 5.4.
8.5 Direct Haul. Only wastes in the prescribed vehicles which would not be
recycled or otherwise diverted from disposal if processed through a local
transfer station may be considered for direct haul pursuant to the
Procedures specified in Condition 8.6. At least once per year, the Landfill
operator shall submit an updated list of waste and material types recovered
prior to transfer for disposal at the landfill if contained in loads delivered to
any of the local transfer stations open to the public. The annual list shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Department of Conservation and
Development and is intended to be used when screening direct haul
eligibility pursuant to Condition 8.6(g). Loads containing materials that will be
used as cover or otherwise beneficially reused on-site and treated as
diversion under the Integrated Waste Management Act may be direct hauled
without going through a transfer station.

Page 10
or extend the hours of operations prescribed above after consultation with
the Landfill operator, Contra Costa Environmental Health, and the City of
Pittsburg, after holding a public hearing to obtain the comments of other
interested parties. To shorten the hours of operation, the Director of
Conservation and Development shall find that the changes are needed to
mitigate substantial noise, traffic, or similar impacts arising from the
operation of the Landfill which were not known when this Land Use Permit
was adopted. To extend the hours of operation, the Director of
Conservation and Development shall find that longer hours will not cause
traffic, noise, glare, or similar impacts of Landfill operations to substantially
increase in the vicinity of the Landfill. Exceptions to this limitation may be
granted in response to natural disasters or other emergencies if deemed
warranted by the Director of Conservation and Development if required to
address any applicable officially declared disaster.
9.2 Operating Days. The landfill shall remain open for operation six days a
week except on Holidays. It shall close on Sundays. Exceptions to this
limitation may be granted in response to natural disasters or other
emergencies if deemed warranted by the Director of Conservation and
Development.
9.3 Maximum Daily Tonnage. The landfill may accept for disposal a maximum
of 3,500 tons of refuse per day. The Board of Supervisors shall review and
revise, if necessary, the maximum allowable tonnages per day. If the Board
establishes sub-County service areas, maximum tonnages for each landfill
may be prorated to reflect their service areas. The Board may increase the
maximum daily tonnages, if necessary, to reflect Reciprocal Capacity
Agreements or emergency measures. Exceptions to this limitation may be
granted in response to natural disasters or other emergencies if deemed
warranted by the Director of Conservation and Development. The Landfill
operator shall submit quarterly reports to the Department of Conservation
and Development solely showing daily waste tonnage accepted for disposal.
9.4 Minimum Buffer Zone. The Landfill developer shall reserve a minimum
buffer of 2,000 feet from the closest place of permanent waste placement to
the closest existing residence on Jacqueline Drive.
9.5 Special Buffer Area. No residential housing shall be permitted at any time
in the special buffer area. See Condition 23.2.
9.6 Dedication of Special Buffer Area. At the time of the submission of the
landfill's Development and Improvement Plan, pursuant to Government
Code Section 7050, the landfill owner shall offer to dedicate the fee title of
the land within the Special Buffer Area to the County of Contra Costa for
recordation. The County may accept the fee title and complete the
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 173
Page 11
dedication subsequent to the opening of the landfill for the disposal of waste.
In making the offer of dedication the Landfill owner may reserve the rights to
carry out mitigation programs required by these Land Use Permit Conditions
of Approval, and as may be further detailed in implementation plans required
to be prepared by these Conditions within the Special Buffer Area. The
Landfill operator may perform grading and make installations, such as
drainage ditches within the Special Buffer Area related to the landfill facility,
provided that the grading and installations are consistent with the approved
final Development and Improvements Plan and do not impair the capability
of the Area to accommodate agricultural grazing and provide habitat
mitigation consistent with these Conditions of Approval. Similarly, the
Landfill operator shall be allowed to carry out closure and post-closure
activities related to the landfill or the Special Buffer Area provided that such
activities are consistent with a County-approved closure plan and with the
uses of the land allowed by these Conditions of Approval.
The County may require the Landfill operator to maintain the Special Buffer
Area, subsequent to dedication, at the operator's expense. Maintenance
shall include security, weed control, erosion control and the provision of fire
trails.
10. WASTE MEASUREMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION
10.1 Volume Estimation. The Landfill operator shall prepare reports annually
estimating the remaining landfill site life (years) and capacity (cubic yards
and tons). Reports shall be submitted to the Department of Conservation
and Development by March 1st of each year. The Landfill operator shall
also submit an initial topographic map prior to receiving wastes.
10.2 Scales. The Landfill developer shall install certified scale(s) at the landfill to

identify the costs of public agency (County, etc.) fees, charges, or
surcharges on bills and receipts issued to landfill users without first obtaining
the specific written approval of the County.
11.9 Interpretation of Conditions. The Conservation and Development
Department Director is authorized to interpret these Conditions in the event
that any clarification is needed.
11.10 Conditions Requiring Franchise. Conditions of Approval 4.2, Operative
Date, and 13.4, Franchise Agreement Requirement, require a franchise or
agreement to be established by this County. All of the terms of said
franchise or agreement shall be subordinate to these Conditions of
Approval, and these Conditions of Approval shall control in the case of any
conflict unless otherwise provided for pursuant to Condition 2.3. There shall
be no need to amend these Conditions of Approval or the franchise in the
event of such a conflict.
11.11 Regulations Enforced by Other Agencies. Several of these Conditions of
Approval relate, paraphrase or summarize laws and regulations which are
imposed and enforced by other governmental agencies which have
jurisdiction over particular aspects of this project. It is this Board's intent in
adopting these Conditions of Approval to provide the applicant and the
public with an overview of the scope of regulation applicable to this project
and to provide this County with the authority to exercise enforcement power
if deemed necessary in response to violations of such laws and regulations
enforced by other agencies. Unless specifically stated in the Conditions of
Approval, however, it is not this Board's intent to establish rules or
regulations which are stricter than the laws or regulations which are applied
to this project by the other agencies with jurisdiction over aspects of this
project. If another agency primarily responsible for some aspect of this
project finds that any action or inaction is in compliance with, or violates, any
such law or regulation, that finding shall be conclusive. If these Conditions
of Approval require some approval by any other agency and that agency
declines to approve or disapprove the subject matter, such approval shall be
deemed to have been given for purposes of these Conditions of Approval.
11.12 Required Expenditures. This Board does not intend, by requiring the
applicant to fund various measures, to make any decision regarding whether
or not, or how, any expenditures incurred may be recovered through the rate
structure or otherwise by the applicant. Any such decision by this Board
shall be reserved for its consideration in the franchise or agreement. No
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 177

the goal of diverting 25 percent of all solid waste generated in the County
from landfill facilities by January 1, 1995.
31.3 1996-2000 Resource Recovery Program. Prior to 1995, the Landfill
operator shall prepare and submit for review and approval by the County
Conservation and Development Department a resource recovery and
recycling program for the service area covering the period from 1996-2000.
This shall be consistent with the Countywide Integrated Waste Management
Plan's goal of diverting a total of 50 percent of all solid waste generated in
the County from landfill facilities by January 1, 2000.
31.4 Materials Recovery. The Landfill operator shall prepare and implement a
Material Recovery Program for recovering recyclable materials (e.g.
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 212
Page 50
construction and demolition debris) from refuse loads brought directly to the
landfill. The Program shall describe in detail all existing and proposed on-site
recovery activities and the associated percent of waste diversion for each,
including materials diverted for use as cover, on-site beneficial reuse as well
as transported off-site (e.g. biomass facilities). The Program shall include
proposed on-site recovery activities intended to handle source separated
loads and comingled loads to be sorted on-site to increase diversion, if
applicable. The Program shall be consistent with the Countywide
Integrated Waste Management Plan. The landfill operator shall record and
report the weight of all material(s) recovered through the Material Recovery
Program. Each type of recovered material being diverted must be weighed
for reporting purposes. Materials accepted for beneficial reuse or ADC,
which are subsequently deemed unsuitable and must therefore be disposed
of, shall be weighted and reclassified for the purposes of reporting and fee
calculation. Incoming quantities required to be tracked and reported by
waste type and jurisdiction of origin, pursuant to Conditions 8.7 and 10.3
must accurately differentiate between the tons disposed, beneficially used
on-site or sent off-site. Quarterly disposal reports must also accurately
reflect the destination and tonnage of each type of recovered material sent
off-site, if applicable. The Program shall be subject to the approval of the
County Department of Conservation and Development.
31.5 Composting Project. The Landfill operator shall develop and implement a
program for composting organic material. The program may occur at the
landfill site, off-site or in coordination with third party(ies), and shall be
approved by Contra Costa Environmental Health and the Department of
Conservation and Development. The compost shall be used for landfill
landscaping, cover material or other approved on-site uses; alternatively,
compost can be made available or sold off-site. The purpose of the
composting program shall be to implement a cost effective and feasible
means of providing adequate local organics diversion capacity through
large-scale composting. The composting operations shall be subject to
regulatory and permitting requirements enforced by Contra Costa
Environmental Health, the Air District and the Water Board. No later than
January 1, 2016, the Landfill operator shall submit substantiation that they
have applied for the required regulatory approvals (permits) processes
necessary to conduct large-scale composting or demonstrate that
arrangements are underway to implement an equivalent off-site program.
The Landfill operator shall make all feasible efforts to assist the County in
ensuring that there will be adequate composting capacity available to readily
divert the organics waste stream generated in Contra Costa County which is
currently used as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) prior to the sunset of the
ADC diversion credit on January 1, 2020.

31.6 Wood Chipping. The Landfill operator shall establish a program to
encourage landscape services and construction/demolition debris haulers to
segregate wood material for chipping and diversion from landfill disposal.
The program may occur off-site, however unless and until there is on-site
recovery (waste diversion as defined in the Integrated Waste Management
Act) the Landfill operator shall direct these customers to deliver loads of
landscaping and construction/demolition debris to facility(ies) that recover
and chip wood material. The program shall be submitted for review and
approval by the County Department of Conservation and Development and
implemented on an ongoing basis following approval.
31.7 Methane Recovery. The Landfill operator shall explore the use of methane
in landfill gas collected for air pollution reduction as a fuel commodity. The
operator shall report findings to the Conservation and Development
Department at the time of the landfill's periodic reviews. If there is an
economic use found for recovered methane, and if the County subsequently
includes the use in its Integrated Waste Management Plan, the Landfill
operator shall implement a methane recovery program.
31.8 Equipment Maintenance. The Landfill operator shall maintain motorized
landfill equipment to assure maximum fuel efficiency.
31.9 County Resource Recovery Management Program.
a) When directed by the County, the Landfill operator shall impose a
tonnage surcharge adequate to support a County Resource
Recovery Management Program. The cost of the program to be
supported by the surcharge shall not exceed $100,000 at 1987
levels. If other solid waste disposal facilities are subject to this or a
similar condition, the County may pro-rate the cost of the program
among them according to a formula approved by the Board of
Supervisors.
b) As provided for in Condition 2.3, where there is an inconsistency
between this condition and the terms of the Landfill Franchise
Agreement which effectively suspended the collection of this
Resource Recovery Management Program Fee, the terms of the
Landfill Franchise Agreement shall supersede Condition 31.9 (a) until
such inconsistency no longer exists pursuant to Condition 2.3(d).
31.10 Fund Recovery. The Landfill owner may recover funds provided to the
County in advance of the opening of the Landfill through subsequent rate
adjustments or surcharges approved by the County. The County may pro-
rate the cost of the program among other waste disposal facilities it
approves which are subject to similar conditions.

forth a schedule of construction activities and projects, with detailed
information provided on sensitive installations such as the landfill liner and
the leachate collection and gas management systems. Sensitive
installation projects shall be subject to inspection by the Geotechnical
Inspector (Condition 23.6). The necessary installations of the Surface
Drainage System (Condition 18.2) and Soil Erosion and Control Plan
(Condition 18.4) shall be in place before major excavations commence in
order to ensure controlled surface water runoff. Sediment in the
sedimentation pond shall be monitored to control quality of runoff.
Construction activities shall be timed to coincide with the dry season and low
surface water flows.
32.5 Unstable areas. Areas determined to be unstable by the Stability Analysis
performed for the landfill (condition 18.4) shall be excavated or retaining
walls installed under the supervision of a Certified Engineering Geologist or
a Registered Geotechnical Engineer.

33. CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE MAINTENANCE
33.1 Submittal of Plan. The Landfill operator shall submit to the San Francisco
Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of
Resources Recycling and Recovery, and Contra Costa Environmental
Health a plan for the closure and the postclosure maintenance of the landfill
as required by State law, but no later than upon application for a Solid Waste
Facilities Permit. A copy of the closure and postclosure maintenance plan
shall be submitted to the County Conservation and Development
Department.
33.2 Funding of Closure and Postclosure Maintenance Plan. The Landfill
operator shall submit to the Board of Supervisors or California Department of
Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) evidence of financial
ability to provide for the cost of closure and postclosure maintenance in an
amount not less than the estimated cost of closure and 15 years of
postclosure maintenance as contained in the submitted closure and
postclosure maintenance plan unless otherwise required by the State.
Evidence of financial ability shall be in the form of a trust fund approved by
the Board of Supervisors in which funds will be deposited on an annual
basis in amounts sufficient to meet closure and postclosure costs when
needed unless an equivalent financial arrangement is identified as
acceptable to the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors
determined that the State required financial guarantees approved and
periodically reviewed by CalRecycle are equivalent and therefore adequate
to satisfy this condition. The Landfill operator shall maintain a trust fund
balance that equals or exceeds the requirements of state law or regulation
notwithstanding, however, the trust fund balance shall be at least equal to
the then current closure and postclosure cost estimate at such time the
landfill has reached one-half of its permitted capacity. The Trust Fund
balance requirement shall be appropriately adjusted if the landfill is closed in
stages under Condition 33.4.
33.3 Revision to Plan and Cost Estimates. Should State law or regulation
regarding the closure and postclosures maintenance plan or funding of the
plan change at any time, the owner of the landfill shall submit any required
changes to the closure and postclosure maintenance plan and/or evidence
of financial ability to the Board at the same time as submittal to the
applicable state or regional agency.
33.4 Staged Closure of the Landfill. The landfill owner or operator shall close the
landfill in stages if compatible with the filling sequence and the overall
closure plan.
33.5 Use of Landfill Following Closure. After active landfill operations have
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 216
Page 54
ceased, the site shall be utilized for grazing purposes. The Board may
require the owner of the landfill to deed all development rights for the landfill
site to the County to ensure fulfillment of this condition.
33.6 Postclosure Maintenance. The Landfill operator shall institute a postclosure
maintenance program to ensure that containment and monitoring facilities
retain their integrity. If damaged areas are found, the operator shall notify
the County and take remedial actions to prevent odor and landfill gas
problems.
34. ABANDONED VEHICLE STORAGE
34.1 Storage Requirement. The Landfill operator shall provide a minimum 10-
acre area on the landfill site for the storage of abandoned vehicles awaiting
salvaging, if required by the Board of Supervisors. The storage site operator
shall accept only vehicles directed to the site by a law enforcement agency
operating in Contra Costa County, which shall be responsible for the vehicle
until its title is conveyed to a salvager. The site would provide storage only;
operations of disposing, salvaging, and security of abandoned vehicles shall
not be the responsibility of the operator. The site may be subject to further
planning and development approvals, and would be subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act. The storage of abandoned vehicles shall be
subject to conditions set by Contra Costa Environmental Health, and may be
subject to the approvals of regulatory agencies having jurisdiction.
34.2 Off-site Storage Option. The Landfill operator may establish the abandoned
vehicle storage area at another location, which shall be subject to the
approval of the County Conservation and Development Department.
35. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
35.1 Transportation System Impact Fee. The Landfill operator shall pay
to the County of Contra Costa a Transportation Impact Fee of $2.00 per ton
of waste received at the Landfill to mitigate the general impacts of the
Landfill-generated traffic on the County's road system. The operator shall
deposit the fee monies quarterly in a segregated account established by the
County. The fee shall be considered to be a pass-through business cost for
the purposes of rate setting. The fee shall be adjusted annually to reflect the
current Consumer Price Index.
The Board of Supervisors approved Amendment 1 to Land Use Permit 2020-89 on
November 1, 1994 which stayed the operation of Conditions 35.1 and 35.2 as long as
the new Condition 35.8 remains in full force and operation.

The Keller Canyon Landfill project is henceforth referred to in this document as the Landfill.InformationalCondition Acknowledged.2.1Ultimate Responsibility. The conditions of approval identify the Landfill developer as the party responsible for implementing conditions involving construction and improvements, and the Landfill operator for implementing conditions involving maintenance and management. Regardless of these identifications, the Landfill owner shall be responsible for complying with all conditions.InformationalCondition Acknowledged.2.2Transfer of Ownership. The Land Use Permit for the Landfill shall run with the land; however, a new owner shall be responsible for notifying the County Conservation and Development Department of any change in ownership. A change in ownership shall be interpreted to mean the acquisition of 5 percent or more of the value of the Landfill site covered by this Land Use Permit. (It is noted that other permits may not necessarily run with the land.)Completed. On-GoingThe First Amended Landfill Franchise Agreement contains assignment requirements pertinent to a change in ownership. The Keller Canyon Landfill Company (KCLC) was owned by Browning Ferris Industries (BFI) at the time the Landfill began operations in 1992. In 1999, BFI sold/transferred KCLC and other local assets to Allied Waste Industries. In 2008, Allied Waste Industries merged with Republic Services, Inc. 2.3Assignment of Responsibility.a) The Board may assign the responsibility of administering specific Conditions of Approval or provisions of this LUP, such as State Minimum Standards, to County Departments or other units of government.b) The Board may suspend the implementation of conditions or provisions of this LUP where such conditions or provisions are inconsistent with the terms of a contract or agreement entered into between the Board and the operator or other units of government, or by the terms of a joint powers agreement where the County is a member of the joint powers agency. This would not alleviate the need to comply with the public approval process required when amending this LUP. Any Board approved suspension would automatically be nullified at such time as the contract or agreement no longer includes terms inconsistent with the specified condition.c) For the purposes of Condition 2.3(b), the Franchise Agreement between the County and the Landfill Owner as amended in November 1994, is an eligible contract.d) If no contract or agreement is in force, as referred to in Condition 2.3(b), the County retains authority to implement this LUP and all of its Conditions.InformationalThis is a new condition approved by the Board of Supervisors in conjunction with the Permit Review for County File LP2020‐89 on September 22, 2015.3.1Compliance Objective. The Landfill developer and operator shall at all times comply with the requirements of laws and permits applicable to the facility. This condition is not intended to grant authority or assign responsibility to the County for the independent enforcement of regulatory and permitting requirements that fall within the primary jurisdiction of other agencies (see Condition 11.11).In Compliance. On-GoingOperation has generally been conducted in compliance with all local, State, and federal laws and regulations. The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is not aware of any violations that were not corrected in a timely manner. The Landfill operator and any Vendors/operators subcontracted to work at KCL is required to comply with this LUP and all other permits with regulatory authority over landfill operations. See Condition 14.2 for a listing of approved permits.

The Landfill operator shall conform with all provisions and requirements of the Landfill's Solid Waste Facilities Permit, and any related directives of the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) or Contra Costa Environmental Health, as the Local Enforcement Agency for CalRecycle.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: The Solid Waste Facility Permit was reviewed by Contra Costa Environmental Health in 2014. The next permit review is scheduled for 2019. CalRecycle conducted unannounced inspections in October and November of 2014. CalRecycle returned in November to focus on the receipt of the curbside collected residential green waste materials and the deployment of the ADC at the end of operating day. CalRecycle staff observed employees removing contaminants at the active face (plastic containers and bags, plastic buckets, cardboard and larger tree branches) from the received piles. The site operator explained that due to the location of the work face (tight corner fill), they were not able to spread the pile for the employees in order to remove contaminants that may be hidden inside the material pile. The observation that contaminants were not removed prior to placement of the ADC material at the active face is inconsistent with the ADC protocols approved by the LEA and described in its letter dated February 24, 1999. This practice is also not allowed under 27 CCR 20690, as material must be processed before application of the ADC to the active face. The RDSI requirements for ADC have changed since the 2002 RFI Amendment. The RDSI does not adequately fulfill the current regulation requirements. The RDSI needs to be amended to describe the operations observed at the landfill in October 2014. Tile 27 CCR 21600 (b)(6)(B) requires that specific inforamtion be described which are currently not in the governing RDSI. Specifically, the RDSI contains no information regarding processing methods for curbside collected residential green waste material to remove contaminants and material larger than 4 feet and 3 inches in diameter and the methods for the application of the material over the daily compacted refuse or other specification as approved by the LEA during the demonstration project. An RDSI Amendment was approved in late 2014 and in 2015 in response to an appeal, the RDSI amendment approval was upheld by CalRecycle. The landfill operator submitted a Report of Disposal Site Information (RDSI) and formal application for a Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) on 1/3/1992 (see letter from S. Gordon (KCLC) to C. Nicholson (HSD), dated 1/3/1992. SWFP 07‐AA‐0032 was issued April 29, 1992, and is reviewed every five years. The last revision was in 2014. The LEA conducts monthly inspections.

The Landfill operator will maintain for reference a master chart showing schedules and results of preparation, operation, monitoring and reporting in all major phases of the facility.Completed. On-GoingAn initial Master Chart was approved by CDD in 1991. An update of the original development plan for the landfill prepared in 1991 was necessitated by changes that occurred from landfill operations and site development. A Conceptual Master Plan for the landfill was submitted to CDD in July 2002. The Master Plan was comprehensive and addressed important aspects of landfill design and operation. The Master Plan also demonstrated that the original permitted air space volume of 75 million cubic yards was maintained after landslide repairs and other site development.Landfill development sequencing for the remaining lifespan of the landfill was prepared consisting of eight (8) groupings of phases. The phases within the first two groupings, collectively known as Phases 1 and 2 respectively, had all been completed by 2002. Currently the Phase 3 is being implemented. A revised development plan for the remaining undeveloped portions of the landfill was presented in Figure 8 of the Master Plan. The revised plan accounts for mitigation of landslides, stability of containment systems and waste mass, and other design and operations parameters required to meet regulatory requirements.Over time, a Master Chart as described in this condition has been superseded by modern computerized project management systems. Similar information is already conveyed in periodic reports on landfill activities and site development that are submitted to regional/state agencies (copies provided to the County and also available for review during normal business hours). See Community Development Department Memo, V. Conklin to C. Zahn, dated 10/15/1991, and as updated through 10/25/1991.4.1Validity Period. The Landfill developer shall install pre‐requisite improvements and open the Landfill for receiving refuse within three years of the final approval of the project's Solid Waste Facilities Permit. This validity period shall be tolled while any appeal filed by parties other than the Landfill developer is pending. The Landfill developer may request from the Director of Community Development one or more one‐year extensions of the Land Use Permit. If the Land Use Permit is not implemented within the specified time, it shall become null and void. The Director of Community Development may allow each one‐year extension if the Director finds that there are changed circumstances which warrant the consideration of changes to the Conditions of Approval. CompletedThe Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved LUP 2020‐89 on July 24, 1990.The Solid Waste Facility Permit was issued on April 29, 1992. KCL became operational on May 7, 1992, within the specified time period of this condition. 4.2Operative Date. This Land Use Permit is valid upon approval by the Board of Supervisors. However, it shall not become operative until and unless the permittee (landfill owner, etc.) first obtains and the Board of Supervisors grants a franchise to or approves an agreement with permittee (see Section 13, Franchise Agreements).CompletedThe original Franchise Agreement was issued on December 4, 1990. The Franchise Agreement was amended on September 13, 1994 as the First Amended Landfill Franchise Agreement. Amendment No. 1 to the First Amended Franchise Agreement was executed on November 1, 1994. Amendment No. 2 to the First Amended Franchise Agreement was executed on February 27, 1996. 5.1Area of Origin. The Landfill operator shall not refuse to receive eligible wastes or cover materials which originate in Contra Costa County provided such wastes or materials are delivered to the facility in accordance with these Conditions of Approval and the landfill's Solid Waste Facilities Permit, and provided that the required governmental fees are paid. Rate setting requirements are specified in the Landfill Franchise Agreement and Section 12 of this Land Use Permit.No Longer ApplicableJudicial and legislative decisions have since overturned restrictions on disposal in local landfills to protect from too early filling. Waste origin restrictions were also nullified through the First Amended Franchise Agreement in 1994. The Board of Supervisors authorized KCL to accept certain special handling wastes (non‐hazardous and non‐toxic) originating outside of Contra Costa County pursuant to guidelines for direct haul originally approved by the Board on 10/27/1992. See report to the Board of Supervisors dated December 7, 1993 and approved on December 14, 1993.M:\Keller\Permit Review\2016 Permit Review\KCL LUP COA Compliance Table_10‐7‐2016.xlsxPage 4 of 65November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors237

INVALIDATED BY LEGISLATURENo Longer ApplicableThe prohibition on import of waste from outside the County was rendered No Longer Applicable by U.S. Supreme Court decisions in June 1992 that reinforced that solid waste is a business commodity subject to federal commerce clause protection.5.3Sub‐County Service Area. If there is more than one Class II or Class III landfills operating in Contra Costa County, the Board of Supervisors may establish sub‐County service areas for each on a temporary or long‐term basis. If the Board has established a sub‐County service area for the Landfill, the operator shall not accept waste for disposal from outside such area.Not Yet Required Sub‐County service areas have not been established.5.4Reciprocal Capacity Agreement. The Landfill operator shall receive waste from outside Contra Costa County if in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Reciprocal Capacity Agreement entered into by Contra Costa County with another county. Waste shall be received upon reasonable notice to the Landfill operator and the Board of Supervisors and direction by the Board to the Landfill operator as to the terms and conditions under which the waste will be received. The Board may specify disposal charges which are applicable only to the waste received under the Reciprocal Capacity Agreement.Not Yet Required Reciprocal Capacity Agreements with other jurisdictions have not been established.5.5Pre‐Requisite Curbside Recycling Program. The Landfill shall not admit for disposal waste loads from communities which do not have an eligible curbside recycling or equivalent program as determined by the Department of Conservation and Development. An eligible program shall recover a range of recyclable materials consistent with a curbside recycling program operating pursuant to a Board of Supervisors approved franchise agreement. The Board of Supervisors has the discretion to identify additional factors to be considered when determining eligibility. The Board retains the authority to approve community programs previously deemed to be ineligible by the Department of Conservation and Development.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: A recent review by the landfill operator of waste accepted by origin in 2015 revealed that all but one of the jurisdictions had an acceptable curbside recycling program, either certified in the CalRecycle database or verified by jurisdiction. Staff reviewed disposal reporting data that revealed 99.972% of the disposed tonnage came from jurisdictions within the Bay Area. Bay Area cities and municipalities have well established curbside recycling programs in place. KCL only accepted one load of contaminated soil from the singular jurisdiction that did not appear to have a fully acceptable curbside recycling program.The landfill operator uses CalRecycle's database of certified curbside recycling programs as a means of determing if a community has curbside recycling in place. Operator intends to institute a pre‐acceptance procedure to ensure verification of curbside recycling occurs prior to loads being accepted from new jurisdiction.6.1Eligible Wastes. The Landfill operator shall allow only wastes eligible for disposal in a Class II facility, as defined by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to be admitted to the land‐fill. The wastes admitted to the landfill shall also be consistent with the Solid Waste Facilities Permit (07‐AA‐0032), administered by Contra Costa Environmental Health, and consistent with the 1990 Environmental Impact Report and Board of Supervisors' policies and approvals (including the Board of Supervisors conditional authorization in 1992‐93 to accept special wastes and limited direct haul – see Conditions 8.5 through 8.7) and these conditions of approval. To the extent allowed by law, the Board of Supervisors may direct the Landfill operator not to accept wastes that do not meet State and County policies and regulations.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: No ineligible waste was accepted in 2015 or early 2016. Signage is posted at the gate and scale house outlining all prohibited material.M:\Keller\Permit Review\2016 Permit Review\KCL LUP COA Compliance Table_10‐7‐2016.xlsxPage 5 of 65November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors238

The Landfill operator shall allow only those designated wastes (as defined in Section 20210 of Title 27, of the California Code of Regulations and Section 13173 of the California Water Code) approved for this facility by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board, and shall be consistent with the waste types allowed for disposal pursuant to Condition 6.1. The Board of Supervisors may designate special rates for this waste to the extent allowed pursuant to the terms of the Landfill Franchise Agreement.In Compliance. On-GoingFacility is in compliance with regulations in Title 27 of the CCR and conditions related designated wastes. On December 14, 1993, the Board of Supervisors authorized KCL to accept certain designated wastes (special handling wastes, that are non‐hazardous and non‐toxic) originating outside of Contra Costa County, subject to specific conditions related to volume limitations, rates, waste inspection, and laboratory testing among others. See Recommendation from Val Alexeeff, GMEDA Director, to the Board of Supervisors dated December 7, 1993. The Board approved as recommended on December 14, 1993. Many of these designated wastes have since been incorporated into the SWFP as described in Condition 6.1 Eligible Wastes above. 6.3Infectious Wastes. The Landfill operator shall accept only those infectious wastes identified in, and disposed of in accordance with the Solid Waste Facilities Permit.In Compliance. On-GoingAll potentially infectious waste are disposed of in accordance with Section 14 Prohibitions of the SWFP.6.4Ineligible Wastes. The Landfill operator shall not allow the following wastes to be disposed at the landfill:a) Hazardous or toxic wastes.b) Radioactive wastes.c) Liquid wastes, other than utility sludges meeting Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements.d) Other ineligible wastes specified in the Solid Waste Facili¬ties permit administered by the Contra Costa Environmental Health.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: No ineligible wastes were accepted at the landfill since the last permit review. All incoming loads are routinely screened in accordance with the most recent Load Check Program (updated in September 2013) and Condition 17j (Hazardous Waste Screening) of the SWFP. See Condition 6.1 & 7.1. 6.5Emergency Use. If the service area of the Landfill is determined to be a sub‐area of the County, the County Department of Conservation and Development or Contra Costa Environmental Health may allow legal waste originating in areas of Contra Costa County, other than those stipulated in Section 5, to have access to the landfill for periods up to 180 days on an emergency basis. The department(s) may grant one extension for no longer than 180 days. The Board of Supervisors may allow the emergency use of the landfill to continue for any time period deemed necessary.Not Yet Required Sub‐County service areas have not been established.6.6Hazardous Waste Screening and Management.

The Landfill operator shall screen loads to limit to the extent practicable the intake of ineligible waste. Prior to receiving waste, the Landfill operator shall prepare in writing a program for identifying eligible vehicles and screening loads at the Landfill entrance, random sampling and inspection for ineligible wastes, and checking loads at the Landfill disposal area. The Load Inspection program shall include inspection for hazardous wastes and procedures for their handling and off‐site disposal consistent with the Contra Costa County Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The program shall be subject to the approval of Contra Costa Environmental Health and the County Conservation and Development Department.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: CCEH reviewed and approved the Load Check Program as part of the LEA's 2014 review of the RDSI. DCD received and reviewed the Program and no deficiencies were identified, formal approval is still pending.The Eligible Vehicles and Loads Program was developed to conform with the requirements of 27 CCR, Section 20870, and the WDRs [Wastes and Their Classification (Part 11)] for KCL. The Eligible Vehicles and Loads program is designed to identify and remove hazardous and prohibited wastes from the waste stream coming to the landfill. Incoming wastes are verified based on visual inspection, questioning by staff, physical assessment, and waste characterization analysis. If an incoming load is suspected of containing ineligible waste, based on the visual inspection, the hauler will be questioned by landfill personnel about the contents of the load. If there is still a question about the acceptability of the waste, the hauler will not be permitted to unload the waste. The original Load Check Program, dated April 25, 1993 was approved by the Health Services Department and CIWMB as part of the RDSI pursuant to issuance of the SWFP. The Load Check Program was revised in September 2013. Condition 17j (Hazardous Waste Screening) of the SWFP specifies procedures for hazardous waste inspection. Landfill personnel are trained in the implementation of identifying non‐eligible vehicles and ineligible waste. Ineligible hazardous waste materials are not accepted at the landfill per conditions in this LUP and the SWFP. A Health Services Department Memo from C. Nicholson to C. Zahn (CDD) dated 3/10/1992, states this condition was reviewed and certified.Also see Condition 19.4.7.2Load Covering. The Landfill operator shall spot check all incoming waste‐hauling vehicles for proper covering or containerization consistent with the requirements of Section 418‐2.008(a) of the County Code. The operator shall identify any waste loads which are susceptible to littering or leakage because of the lack of covering, inadequate covering, or disrepair of screens, covers or containers. Customers delivering any such waste loads shall be required to provide evidence that corrective actions have been taken to effectively cover and contain waste loads (e.g. waste adequately secured with covers and containers in good repair) in order to be eligible to deliver waste loads in the future. Landfill operator shall track and report applicable details about the occurrences and corrective actions taken to the County Department of Conservation and Development annually.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: Republic Services removed the "How's My Driving?" stickers from their trucks and replaced them with "Together for Safer Roads" stickers. Incidents of litter bounce out from Republic trucks can still be recorded using the truck number which identifies every truck, and using the local phone number printed on all trucks. Republic Services is a member of Together for Safer Roads, an organization made up of private sector companies dedicated to improving traffic safety on the nation's roads. Republic is implementing a program of Best Practices for its fleet of vehicles related to road safety management, safer roads and mobility, safer vehicles, and safer road users. Republic trucks and trailers are numbered. Complainants must call Keller directly to report concerns.Every incoming load is inspected to ensure all waste‐hauling vehicles are covered; waste loads are screened for excessive littering and inadequate covering. Transfer vehicles with inadequate screens or containers are repaired as they are identified. Republic’s trucks should have phone number for others to call if litter is observed so corrective actions are taken in a timely manner (like “How’s my driving”). Also see Condition 25.3.On May 14, 1991, the Board of Supervisors amended County Ordinance Code 91‐26 (Requirements for Vehicles Transporting Refuse codified as Chapter 418‐2) to require all waste‐carrying vehicles transporting refuse to solid waste facilities in the County to have their loads covered. On September 9, 1991 the Board of Supervisors approved additional recommendations that included but was not limited to requiring DCD to include off‐site litter policing in new permits for waste disposal and processing facilities; and directed County staff to work with the Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol to assure enforcement of covered load and anti‐littering requirements.M:\Keller\Permit Review\2016 Permit Review\KCL LUP COA Compliance Table_10‐7‐2016.xlsxPage 7 of 65November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors240

The Landfill operator shall develop a household hazardous waste collection and management program for the service area which is consistent with the County Hazardous Waste Management Plan and with the County Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. The program shall be subject to the approval of the Contra Costa Environmental Health and Conservation and Development Departments. The household hazardous waste shall be managed in accordance with the "Waste Minimization Hierarchy" identified in the County Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The operator is encouraged to develop the program in cooperation with other waste management facilities and collection services. The proposed program, along with a schedule of proposed costs and funding sources, shall be submitted to the County departments no later than 6 months prior to the opening of the landfill. The program shall include mechanisms for removing household hazardous waste from the waste stream which arrives at the facility. If the household hazardous waste program (or a version of it) is approved by the County Board of Supervisors, the Landfill operator shall implement it. The Landfill household hazardous waste program shall include a public information and education program approved by the Contra Costa Environmental Health/County Hazardous Materials Commission for notifying facility users and households in its service area of what consti¬tutes hazardous waste and how such wastes are to be disposed of. The household hazardous waste program shall be amended if required by the County Board of Supervisors in their review of the Land Use Permit.Not Yet Required This condition preceded the approval of the County’s Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Element of the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. There was a substantial change in public policy with respect to management of this portion of the waste stream shortly after this LUP was approved. CDD advised the Board of Supervisors that this policy change effectively put this COA 19.3 "on hold." (see memo from H. Bragdon to the Board of Supervisors dated 4/28/1992). By early 1992, County HSD had taken the lead role in implementing a countywide mobile collection program. Several years later wastewater agencies developed and began operating permanent drop‐off facilities for HHW to serve those living in Central (Central Contra Costa Sanitary District) and East County (Delta Diablo Sanitation District). Soon thereafter a permanent drop‐off facility was built in North Richmond to serve West County. The countywide household hazardous waste program includes three permanent HHW facilities serving households in their respective areas to provide free and convenient option to properly manage HHW effectively removing it from the waste stream before it reaches the landfill. The Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan approved in 1993 does not call for an HHW program at Keller Canyon Landfill, however such a program could be re‐activated if conditions change.19.4Hazardous Waste Pre‐screening. The landfill entrance load screening procedures and a manual load check program during unloading operations shall be included in the load screening program required under Condition 7.1. Landfill employees shall be instructed to investigate suspicious containers for hazardous materials during bulldozing and other activities. Any hazardous materials found shall be set aside for proper collection and disposal.In Compliance. On-GoingUPADTE: The Eligible Vehicles and Loads program that is implemented at the landfill scale house was updated in 2013 and approved by the LEA in 2014.A Load Check program and hazardous waste pre‐screening program are in effect at Contra Costa Transfer and Recovery Station and other transfer stations that dispose of waste at Keller Canyon Landfill. (See Condition 7.1) 19.5Regulatory Agency Approvals. The collection and storage of toxic and hazardous wastes pursuant to this section shall be subject to County Health Services Department’s Hazardous Materials Division, State Department of Health Services, and other regulatory agency approvals.In Compliance.

The Landfill operator shall operate the Landfill in a manner that prevents odors from being detected off‐site, pursuant to Regulations 7‐101 and 7‐102 of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. If odors are reported to Contra Costa Environmental Health, or reports are relayed from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the Department of Conservation and Development or Contra Costa Environmental Health may require additional physical improvements or management practices as necessary to alleviate the problem. Contra Costa Environmental Health shall have the authority to cease disposal at a particular area of the Landfill, to control odors. A small daily working face (3 acres or less) shall be maintained. The leachate treatment system shall be enclosed and properly maintained to control odors from leachate. The landfill gas collection system and flare shall utilize BACT to reduce landfill gas as a source of toxics and odor.The Landfill operator shall implement Best Management Practices of the industry to minimize odors from operations and emissions from equipment. If the operator is contacted about odors being detected off‐site, the date, time and description of the odor complaint shall be logged and investigated promptly to expedite implementation of any necessary corrective action by the landfill operator. The Landfill operator shall contact Contra Costa Environmental Health or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District at minimum of once per year to obtain any information possible about odor complaints received by each agency. Any odor complaints received by the Landfill operator, Contra Costa Environmental Health or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District shall be included in the annual Activities Report required under the Landfill’s Franchise Agreement unless otherwise specified by the Director of Conservation and Development. The landfill operator shall provide a means for receiving after hours odor complaints. Complaints shall be promptly investigated (after hours investigations required if/when multiple after hours complaints received on the same day or on multiple consecutive days) to identify whether the source of the odor is on the landfill site, in which case the problem should be corrected in a timely manner. A response to the person lodging the complaint shall be made within 48 hours and copied to the Department of Conservation and Development, detailing the problem and remedial action taken.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: Complaint data reviewed in this LUP compliance review were provided by the BAAQMD, DCD, and CCEH. The KCL Odor Complaint Log maintained at the landfill was also reviewed. * Each complaint received has a date and approximate time of occurrence. Several complaints do overlap with another agency when an odor complaint is received independent of KCL staff.* 55 odor complaints were recorded from January 2015 – August 2016. None were confirmed.* The BAAQMD recorded 37 complaints; KCL: 27, DCD: 15, and CCEH: 9. The comparatively low number of recorded complaints with CCEH reflects its policy to not investigate anonymous complaints that do not provide a physical address. * DCD set up a Complaint Form on its website in early 2015 that allows an electronic submittal of an odor complaint. An email alert is simultaneously sent to CCEH and KCL. * 80% of the odor complaints were recorded from January through April, coinciding with the rainy season. These odor complaints were described generally as "dirty diapers" to "manure" to "garbage."* KCL has procedures for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating off‐site odors when they are confirmed. Site personnel routinely patrol the area including local neighborhoods for any indication of odors. Findings and results from the surveys are documented daily. All complaints submitted to KCL, whether by phone, or a referral by DCD or BAAQMD, are followed up and investigated by KCL staff. All complaints are tracked and reviewed. Where feasible, complainants or nearby neighbors were interviewed. * Investigations usually involved follow‐up by KCL staff, or jointly with BAAQMD and/or CCEH. * The on‐site KCL weather station data are reviewed to assess wind direction and speed at the approximate time of the odor complaint. * Additionally, KCL has systems and operation practices to minimize odor impacts on the surrounding community, including use of Best Available LFG Control Technology, maintaining a small working face (less than 1 acre in size) and enclosing the leachate system. An odor impact minimization plan (OIMP) is in effect. An Odor Complaint Program is also in effect per Condition 17k(g) of the SWFP. Odor complaints and associated responses/corrective actions are logged in the facility's Complaint Log. Standard forms record the date of the complaint, name of the individual filing the complaint (if available), weather conditions, name of the landfill complaint investigator, the alleged locations of odors, and the results of complaint verification by either landfill personnel or personnel from the LEA or BAAQMD. Incidents are also recorded in a Log of Special Occurrences pursuant to provisions of Title 27 CCR 20510 (c) per Condition 17o of the SWFP. Follow up actions by the landfill are also documented in the annual Activities Report submitted to DCD.M:\Keller\Permit Review\2016 Permit Review\KCL LUP COA Compliance Table_10‐7‐2016.xlsxPage 30 of 65November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors263

The Landfill operator shall cover newly disposed refuse with compacted soil or other cover material meeting state regulatory requirements enforced by Contra Costa Environmental Health and CalRecycle and approved in writing by the Department of Conservation and Development. All working faces of the Landfill shall be covered by the end of the working day. Intermediate cover, meeting the requirements of the State shall be applied over each layer of cells ("lift"). The type of cover material and frequency of cover shall be modified in order to control odor, litter or birds, if necessary, or if required by the Director of Conservation and Development or the Landfill's Solid Waste Facilities Permit.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: CCEH approved KCLC to use green waste and geosynthetic blankets as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) after conducting a one‐year demonstration project back in 1999‐2000 and included a summary report, dated 6/28/2000. The use of greenwaste as ADC was approved shortly after the acceptance of the results of the demonstration project. The landfill's RDSI was updated in early 2015 to formally reflect additional details regarding the use of unprocessed green waste as ADC. The decision to approve that RDSI amendment was appealed to CalRecycle by an outside party. In August 2015, CalRecycle denied the appeal and upheld the approval of the RDSI amendment. As a result, the outside party filed a law suit against CalRecycle (State) and that case is still pending. In September 2014, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1594 mandating that as of January 1, 2020, the use of green material as alternative daily cover (ADC) will no longer constitute diversion through recycling and will instead be considered disposal in terms of measuring a jurisdiction’s annual 50 percent per capita disposal rate.All requirements for approved daily cover materials and practices are complied with as standard operating procedure. Soil cover frequency is in accordance with requirements of LUP Condition 20.3, procedures of the SWFP, and Condition #17309 part 3(a) through 3(d) of the Major Facility Review permit issued by the BAAQMD. The Working Face is limited to 1.0 acre under Condition 17h of the SWFP. Also see Condition 20.2, 24.4 Bird Control, and Section 25 Litter Control.20.4Odoriferous Loads. The Landfill operator shall identify potentially odoriferous loads prior to acceptance and make any arrangements needed to ensure that disposal of odoriferous loads is managed to avoid off‐site detection, which may involve covering such incoming loads immediately.In Compliance. On-GoingImmediate covering of odoriferous loads is standard operating procedure in accordance with requirements of this LUP, the SWFP, and BAAQMD Major Facility Review permit Condition #16462 regulating the handling, use, and storage of yard and green waste stock piles. Air District requires that certain details about the green waste stockpiles be included in each semi‐annual report (available on the BAAQMD website).20.5Dust Suppressants. The Landfill operator shall apply water or proven environmentally safe dust suppressants at least twice daily to working faces of the landfill, unpaved access roads, storage pile disturbances and construction areas as determined to be necessary by Contra Costa Environmental Health. Contra Costa Environmental Health may require sprinklering more frequently for control of particulates.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: Condition #17309, Item 8, of the BAAQMD permit states that water and/or magnesium chloride is to be applied depending on season: "Except as provided below, all applications of dust suppressant shall consist of 0.5 gallons per square yard of 10% MgCl2 applied along the entire length of all unpaved roads." The facility is in compliance with dust suppression measures implemented per this LUP condition, Condition 17k(d) of the SWFP, and Condition #17309 and #16462, parts 8(a) through 8(d), 9, 10, 13, 15, and 16(j) through 16(l) of the Major Facility Review permit issued by BAAQMD.20.6Area of Operations.

The Landfill operator shall monitor air flow on the site upon commencement of operations and shall provide background meteorological conditions including wind direction, wind velocity, and temperature. After the Landfill is in operation, data shall be used to correlate odor, dust, or litter management with meteorological conditions. Air flow monitoring reports shall be submitted or made available to the Contra Costa Environmental Health and the Department of Conservation and Development upon request.In Compliance. On-GoingUPDATE: The landfill weather monitoring station has been in continuous operation. The system is a Vantage Pro2 by Davis Instruments with Weatherlink analytical and reporting software. The collected data are stored on a secure server, thus weather conditions can be reviewed and analyzed for virtually every day the system has operated and stored this data. Collected data are also used to assist in the evaluation of odor complaints. Specifically, weather parameter of wind direction and speed, precipitation, relative humidity, and outside temperature are recorded as needed to evaluate odor complaints.An expanded weather monitoring station was installed May 1997 that monitors and records all meteorological conditions specified in this LUP condition. Data are used to manage daily landfill operations. CCEH letter dated 12/8/1995 acknowledges that their office and DCD agreed that KCL would not be required to submit actual monitoring reports unless determined necessary in the future. Data is available for review by regulatory agencies upon request and periodically checked by LEA during their routine inspections. 20.8Contingency Program. Prior to the start of filling operations, Landfill operator shall prepare a "bad days" contingency program for managing the Landfill during periods of unusual wind speeds or directions, rainfall or drought or other atypical situations. It shall apply specific site monitoring information. The Landfill operator shall consider the comments of the City of Pittsburg and consult with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The program shall be approved by the Department of Conservation and Development and Contra Costa Environmental Health, and it may be revised from time to time. See Condition 25.4.Completed. On-GoingThe landfill operator has established procedures for dealing with inclement weather with the potential to hamper normal operations. Rain and/or high winds may require adjustment of on‐site waste handling and disposal procedures. During prolonged heavy rains, operations are moved to a tipping area (wet weather area) which has been surfaced with asphalt grindings to provide all weather access to allow for continuous refuse disposal operations during inclement weather. Stockpiles of soil material are maintained near the designated wet weather alternative tipping area to provide an adequate supply of cover material. Normal traffic and vehicle access to the wet weather area is provided by paved and/or a combination of tightly compacted soil and asphalt grindings. For high wind conditions, the unloading area is typically reduced in size and, whenever possible, placed in a portion of the landing that affords protection from the wind. Additional equipment may be utilized to expedite the spreading and compacting of the refuse as soon as it is unloaded. Cover operations may also be implemented prior to the end of the working day to reduce the area of exposed refuse on the working face. In addition, portable litter fencing is in‐place and is used downwind around the unloading areas.20.9Revegetation. The Landfill operator shall revegetate completed Landfill areas. Revegetation shall be in accordance with the Development and Improvements Plan and shall be consistent with State and local water conserva¬tion landscaping requirements. Intermediate and final cover areas shall be reseeded with native grasses immediately. Excavations shall be reseeded with native grasses or filled immediately. Operating areas which will not be used for fill or construction for 90 days or longer shall be planted for dust and erosion control and for aesthetic purposes. Landfill operator shall provide the County Conservation and Development Department with written notice and documentation (e.g. photographs) of any inactive unvegetated areas of disturbance not being reseeded immediately whether due to on‐site activity associated with the landfill (construction or operations) or naturally occurring (landslides, etc.). The Director of Conservation and Development may require that revegetation notices be submitted more frequently and/or on a fixed schedule.In Compliance. On-GoingIncluded in FDIP, Sections 7.1 and 8.1 and Appendix E. Revegetation measures of graded areas are in compliance with Condition #17309 Part 14 of the Major Facility Review permit issued by BAAQMD, and is standard operating procedure when such areas are not expected to be used for fill or construction within 90 days or longer.

The landfill gas control system did not have to become operational until one million cubic yards of refuse had been placed in the landfill.KCL manages a complex landfill gas (LFG) collection system consisting of vertical extraction wells, headers, and sub‐headers. The LFG collection system is under vacuum which draws the landfill gas to a central point currently consisting of a flare station, a blower building, and a landfill gas‐to‐energy facility (LFGTE). The LFG collection system, including additional vertical collection wells and flares, will be expanded as the landfill is developed to provide ongoing control within the performance criteria established and mandated by the BAAQMD and State and federal regulations.20.12Landfill Gas Processing. The Landfill developer shall install a flaring mechanism, in accordance with Bay Area Air Quality Man‐agement District guidelines/regulations, to combust collected landfill gas. The flare shall be of the nonilluminous type. Best Available Control Technology (BACT) shall be used, as defined and approved by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The flare shall be installed with staged combustion, operated under fuel‐rich conditions, and be designed with flue gas recirculation.Completed. On-GoingThe original design for the flare system was included in FDIP, Section 8.4 and Appendix D. See Community Development Department letter from C. Zahn (CDD) to S. Gordon, dated 10/24/1995. Two flares are in operation that are subject to performance standards and testing requirements in Condition #17309 Parts 20 through 30 of the Major Facility Review permit issued by the BAAQMD. There are two enclosed flares constructed in the Landfill Gas Management and Landfill Gas to Energy Facilities area. The first flare was installed at KCL in 1995. Flare #2 was installed in 2007 to act as both a backup unit and to provide additional capacity as LFG production increases at the site. Both flares are 40‐ft. high insulated steel tubes equipped to control combustion of the LFG to destroy methane and other gases. Both flares are founded on a reinforced concrete slabs and are designed to withstand conservative seismic and wind loads. In 2007, a new control system was installed that integrates control of both flares to a single system, allowing either one or both flares to operate, depending on LFG destruction needs. This new control system also interfaces with the LFGTE plant to ensure that consistent LFG extraction and destruction is maintained.

The Landfill operator shall install a methane recovery system simultaneously with the construction of the gas collection system, preferably utilizing the Landfill gas to produce energy when the Landfill has developed enough gas to justify recovery. When required by the County Community Develop‐ment Department, the Landfill operator shall conduct a study to determine how methane could be recovered from the gas and used for fuel or as a commodity. Completed. On-GoingAn early plan for methane recovery was included in the FDIP, Section 8.5. In 2006, Ameresco, Inc. submitted a development proposal to the County for a power plant with a capacity of up to 3.8 MegaWatts, which was ultimately was approved. The landfill gas to energy (LFGTE) power plant was dedicated in October 2009 under County file #LP012115, a previous LFGTE project that was approved but never built on‐site. The plant is owned and operated by Ameresco Keller Canyon L.L.C. See Section 36 of this LUP.The LFGTE plant was constructed adjacent to the existing flare station described in Condition 20.12 above. Ameresco has secured a power purchasing agreement to sell the power generated at KCL. See Section 36 Landfill Gas Power Plant of this LUP.20.14Gas Monitoring. The Landfill developer shall install gas migration detection probes and wells along the boundary of the Landfill footprint, near on‐site buildings, and in other locations specified by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District or Contra Costa Environmental Health to monitor for subsurface and surface gas migration. The gas monitoring stations shall be described in the Development and Improvements Plan approved by the County Conservation and Development Department. If gas migration is found, the Landfill operator shall notify the County and take remedial actions. Training of employees for detection of gas migration shall be included in the employee training program.In Compliance. On-GoingPlans for the initial gas monitoring system are included in FDIP, Section 8.6. The monitoring and control of gas emissions via integrated and instantaneous surface emissions monitoring is conducted in accordance with the BAAQMD Rule 34 compliance plan requirements for the KCL. Perimeter probe results from collected monitoring data are compiled into a report. Gas monitoring data is submitted by KCL to the LEA and BAAQMD. As of September 20, 2007 regulations for Gas Monitoring and Control at Active and Closed Disposal Sites became effective. KCL submitted a Landfill Gas Monitoring Migration Monitoring Plan as required by the new regulations in September 2008. The Landfill Gas Migration Monitoring Plan was revised in response to LEA comments and subsequently approved by The LEA on August 3, 2009.Perimeter and surface landfill gas at KCL are monitored in accordance with CFR 258.23 (Subtitle D) and the BAAQMD Regulation 8, Rule 34. Perimeter and surface landfill gas monitoring are conducted on a quarterly basis. Perimeter landfill gas monitoring at the KCL have shown that there is no landfill gas migration off‐site. The perimeter landfill gas monitoring probes were designed and spaced according to 27 CCR and BAAQMD requirements, and are in conformance with the criteria set forth in Subtitle D.On‐site structures at are monitored monthly, in accordance with 27 CCR, Section 20931, for detection of potential landfill gas migrating into building structures. The upper detection limit is 1.25 percent methane by volume.20.15Lateral Gas Barriers. The Landfill developer shall install a gas barrier or gas collection area on side slopes of the Landfill to prevent lateral gas migration through the sides of the Landfill. The barrier or gas collection area shall be approved by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and shall be included in the Development and Improvements Plan.Completed. On-GoingKCL operates a gas collection system on or near the slopes in general, and has installed horizontal collectors at the perimeter of the lining system when the perimeter probes are activated. This portion of the collection system is located only in the northeast corner of the lined area, approximately where the toe berm meets original ground just down hill from the east side liner area. “Barriers” as described in this condition are not in place at Keller. Barriers have not proven effective without significant collection infrastructure to ensure gas does not get diverted and causes a release in a different location. KCL has installed collection systems as needed to maintain compliance with CCR Title 27 (Subsurface) and BAAQMD/USEPA (Near‐Surface) emissions requirements. Given the large buffer areas surrounding the landfill operations area, the best approach is to install and maintain a long‐term collection system near a trouble area located within the waste mass, to “pull back” the gas.M:\Keller\Permit Review\2016 Permit Review\KCL LUP COA Compliance Table_10‐7‐2016.xlsxPage 34 of 65November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors267

The salamander study shall take place during the rainy season. If salamanders are found to exist in the unnamed creek, they shall be trapped and released to the Lawlor Creek area. If the Alameda Whipsnake is encountered, then facilities such as the equalization basin, and the access road shall be relocated further from the outcrop area. The outcrop reserve shall be expanded to include the easternmost outcrops. Consideration shall be taken in siting facilities and any activities north of access road. Lighting shall be shielded and shall illuminate only paved areas in this vicinity.Completed. Updated As NeededSupplemental wildlife surveys were conducted in 2003. No special status wildlife species were observed in the primary project area of the landfill during site visits. Based on exisitng habitat conditions, there is a moderate to high potential of occurrence for theree special status wildlife species to occur on or adjacent to the primary project area: 1) San Joaquin pocket mouse, 2) California horned lark, and 3) loggerhead shrike. Two additional species, the California tiger salamander and the California red‐legged frog, occur in adjacent areas and could disperse through the project area. Habitat assessments for these species were conduced in accorrdance with state and federal guidelines. The habitat assessments concluded that surveys were not warranted based on the probability the species may occur in the primary project area of the landfill, as follows: California red‐legged frog = low probability, California tiger salamander = low probability, Earlier supplemental survey data submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were substantiated by CDD on 10/15/1991.

If birds become a problem at the Landfill in the judgement of Contra Costa Environmental Health, the Landfill operator shall institute a contingency bird control program. Such a program may consist of monofilament or wire lines suspend¬ed in the air at appropriate intervals over and around the active disposal area. The Landfill operator shall retain a biologist during the initial period of operation to (1) assess the effec¬tiveness of the monofilament line for bird control and (2) assess the effect of the line on avian predator species. If necessary, additional corrective measures shall be taken at that time. Such measures may include a reduction in the size of the working face of the landfill, the use of nets over the working face, or the use of a habitat manipulation and modification program.In Compliance. On-GoingImplementation of LUP COA 24.4 and 24.5 is routinely coordinated with the SWFP Section 17k(f). The Bird Control Plan for Keller Canyon Landfill was updated on January 14, 2014. The plan includes elements on bird species identification, bird control methods, and specific bird control measures. The control program involves dispersal in conjunction with whistlers, crackershells, and distress calls played over a loudspeaker attached to a vehicle. Monthly on‐site inspections by the LEA have not indicated problems with control of birds and vectors. 24.5Rodent Control. If waste compaction does not eliminate live rodents from the Landfill footprint, or if rodents (other than small numbers of field mice, etc.) occupy facility landscaping or agricultural areas, the operator shall work with the local enforcement agency to identify the reasons for the presence of rodents and make appropriate changes in operational procedures. If an eradication program is necessary, the use of alternative rodent control programs such as sustained live trapping using nonpoisonous baits, and natural biological control shall be considered. Anti‐coagulants shall be administered by a pest management professional in a manner which minimizes exposure to avian predators. Class 1 pesticides shall not be used.In Compliance. On-GoingSee 24.4 above.24.6Mosquito Control. The Landfill operator shall grade areas within the Landfill property to prevent ponding of water which could harbor mosquitos (except for sedimentation ponds and riparian habitat areas).

Prior to 1995, the Landfill operator shall prepare and submit for review and approval by the County Conservation and Development Department a resource recovery and recycling program for the service area covering the period from 1996‐2000. This shall be consistent with the County¬wide Integrated Waste Management Plan's goal of diverting a total of 50 percent of all solid waste generated in the County from landfill facilities by January 1, 2000.CompletedThe Resource Recovery Program for 1996‐2000 is included in FDIP, Section 6.2. Initiated on‐site resourcce recovery activities authorized by regulatory changes allowing waste derived cover materials and beneficial reuse materials to be treated as diversion.31.4Materials Recovery. The Landfill operator shall prepare and implement a Material Recovery Program for recovering recyclable materials (e.g. construction and demolition debris) from refuse loads brought directly to the landfill. The Program shall describe in detail all existing and proposed on‐site recovery activities and the associated percent of waste diversion for each, including materials diverted for use as cover, on‐site beneficial reuse as well as transported off‐site (e.g. biomass facilities). The Program shall include proposed on‐site recovery activities intended to handle source separated loads and comingled loads to be sorted on‐site to increase diversion, if applicable. The Program shall be consistent with the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. The landfill operator shall record and report the weight of all material(s) recovered through the Material Recovery Program. Each type of recovered material being diverted must be weighed for reporting purposes. Materials accepted for beneficial reuse or ADC, which are subsequently deemed unsuitable and must therefore be disposed of, shall be weighted and reclassified for the purposes of reporting and fee calculation. Incoming quantities required to be tracked and reported by waste type and jurisdiction of origin, pursuant to Conditions 8.7 and 10.3 must accurately differentiate between the tons disposed, beneficially used on‐site or sent off‐site. Quarterly disposal reports must also accurately reflect the destination and tonnage of each type of recovered material sent off‐site, if applicable. The Program shall be subject to the approval of the County Department of Conservation and Development.Further Review RequiredUPDATE: Revised information was submitted to DCD in the Fall of 2016 with information intended to update what is specified in FDIP Section 6.3. Updated program information submitted in October 2016 is currently under review to determine what if any additional information may be needed to ensure consistency with current Countywide goals and requirements and intent of this condition.The initial Materials Recovery program was included in FDIP, Section 6.3. However, the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan was not approved by the State until 1993. 31.5Composting Project. The Landfill operator shall develop and implement a program for composting organic material. The program may occur at the landfill site, off‐site or in coordination with third party(ies), and shall be approved by Contra Costa Environmental Health and the Department of Conservation and Development. The compost shall be used for landfill landscaping, cover material or other approved on‐site uses; alternatively, compost can be made available or sold off‐site. The purpose of the composting program shall be to implement a cost effective and feasible means of providing adequate local organics diversion capacity through large‐scale composting. The composting operations shall be subject to regulatory and permitting requirements enforced by Contra Costa Environmental Health, the Air District and the Water Board. No later than January 1, 2016, the Landfill operator shall submit substantiation that they have applied for the required regulatory approvals (permits) processes necessary to conduct large‐scale composting or demonstrate that arrangements are underway to implement an equivalent off‐site program. The Landfill operator shall make all feasible efforts to assist the County in ensuring that there will be adequate composting capacity available to readily divert the organics waste stream generated in Contra Costa County which is currently used as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) prior to the sunset of the ADC diversion credit on January 1, 2020.In ProcessUPDATE: Documentation was submitted to DCD in the Fall of 2016 with information intended to update what is specified in FDIP Section 6.4. In 2015, KCL received and used approximately 46,500 tons of greenwaste as ADC from locations in Contra Costa County. As of October 1, 2016 there are only three cities in the County which do not require that their franchise hauler compost the greenwaste collected curbside. One of those cities has commited to have their curbside greenwaste composgted by 2018. Republic Services has adequate capacity to compost the greenwaste from the two remainign cities at their facilites in either North Richmond, Milpitas or Manteca. Updated program information submitted in October 2016 is still under review to determine what if any additional information may be needed to ensure consistency with current Countywide goals and requirements and the intent of this condition.A concept for a composting operation is included in FDIP, Section 6.4. The Pilot project was not implemented within 6 months of the landfill opening due to lack of market feasibility at the time of landfill construction and additional permitting requirements. Some compostable green waste has been diverted as Alternative Daily Cover since authorized to do so by CCEH starting with their 12‐month Demonstration Project in April 1999. The majority of wood waste and material for composting is processed at the Contra Costa Transfer and Recovery station, where regular wood chipping occurs and greenwaste is transloaded for approved off‐site uses. An off‐site program has been formally proposed to County DCD in October 2014 involving use of the composting facility in operation at Republic Services' site in west Contra Costa County and the City of Richmond (Bulk Material Processing Center approved under County LUP 2054‐92, and in accordance with the Standardized Composting Permit under that facility's SWFP 07‐AA‐0044).

The Landfill operator shall establish a program to encourage landscape services and construction/demolition debris haulers to segregate wood material for chipping and diversion from landfill disposal. The program may occur off‐site, however unless and until there is on‐site recovery (waste diversion as defined in the Integrated Waste Management Act) the Landfill operator shall direct these customers to deliver loads of landscaping and construction/demolition debris to facility(ies) that recover and chip wood material. The program shall be submitted for review and approval by the County Department of Conservation and Development and implemented on an ongoing basis following approval.Further Review RequiredUPDATE: Revised information was submitted to DCD in the Fall of 2016 with information intended to update what is specified in FDIP Section 6.5. Updated program information submitted in October 2016 is currently under review to determine what if any additional information may be needed to ensure consistency with current Countywide goals and requirements and the intent of this condition.A wood chipping concept is included in the FDIP, Section 6.5. A wood chipping program was not placed in operation within six months of the landfill's opening. DCD issued Conditional Approval for implementation of a wood chipping operationon August 21, 2003 based on consistency with the LUP 2020‐89 Condition of Approval 31.6 Waste Reduction and Resource Recovery – Wood Chipping. The wood chipping operation was never implemented on‐site. The majority of wood waste is processed at the Contra Costa Transfer and Recovery station, where regular wood chipping occurs. 31.7Methane Recovery. The Landfill operator shall explore the use of methane in landfill gas collected for air pollution reduction as a fuel commodity. The operator shall report findings to the Conservation and Development Department at the time of the landfill's periodic reviews. If there is an economic use found for recov¬ered methane, and if the County subsequently includes the use in its Integrated Waste Management Plan, the Landfill operator shall implement a methane recovery program.CompletedA landfill gas power plant was determined by the landfill operator to be feasible in August 1998.

on the General Fund. Applicants will pay an application fee to cover staff time associated with technical review of
the plans and inspection of parklet installation. Applicants will make a deposit to cover parklet removal in the
event that the parklet is not removed when the permit is terminated or expires.
BACKGROUND:
A parklet is a small extension of a sidewalk, intended as a recreational area to provide a sense of community and
maximize the use of public space for amenities, green space or informal gatherings. Parklets have become quite
popular in urban settings such as San Francisco, New York City, and downtown Martinez. Parklets typically
occupy an on-street parking space(s) and are open to all members of the public. Parklets may support local
businesses with locations adjacent to restaurants or shopping. A parklet may simply provide a feature of interest
by providing public art or landscaping.
The Parklet Guide is intended as a resource to guide applicants on the requirements of a parklet installed as an
encroachment within the public right of way. The Parklet Guide provides information on the optimal site location,
design layout, operation, and maintenance of a parklet in order to assure public safety and that the parklet will be
an amenity for the community. The Parklet Guide identifies the process for removal of a parklet in the event that
it is not in the best interest of the community. The guide also includes the Parklet Permit Application, list of
required conditions, and the process to obtain a Parklet Permit.
Like any applicant for an encroachment permit, an applicant for a parklet permit will submit an application and
pay the County’s encroachment permit fee. If a parklet will have a roof or overhead cover, the applicant also will
need to obtain a building permit from the Department of Conservation and Development.
If the parklet encroachment meets the County’s encroachment standards, including those in the Parklet Guide, the
Public Works Department will issue a parklet permit. A permittee must maintain a liability insurance policy of not
less than $1 million that names the County as an additional insured, and the permittee will be required to
indemnify the County from liabilities arising from the design, construction, use, operation, and maintenance of the
parklet. The permittee must deposit funds sufficient to pay the estimated costs of removing the parklet should the
applicant fail to remove the parklet at the end of the permit term. If the applicant does not remove the parklet, the
County may remove the parklet using funds deposited by the permittee. After the parklet is removed, the deposit,
or what remains of the deposit after the County removes the parklet, will be returned to the permittee.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to adopt the Parklet Program Guide will mean that there will not be an established process to install or
implement parklets within the public right of way. And, applicants in the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa
will not have the opportunity to install parklets.

5 | Page IINTRODUCTION The Beginning In 2014, Contra Costa residents and community groups from the El Sobrante area recognized that there is a common desire to integrate recreational areas and community spaces within urban or commercial zones. A great deal of inspiration for these urban recreational areas was derived from the parklet programs that have been established in large cities such as San Francisco, Oakland, and New York City. These residents and community groups reached out to the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors and voiced their desire to assist with establishing a parklet program in the unincorporated areas of the County. As a result, the Board of Supervisors, Public Works Department staff, and Department of Conservation and Development staff collaborated with various stakeholders to develop the Contra Costa County Parklet Program which was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2016. With this program in place, there is now a resource and procedure available to aid residents of the County in creating safe and aesthetically pleasing parklets in their community. What Is a Parklet? Parklets are small sidewalk extensions intended to provide amenities, green space, or recreational areas to the public. They are usually constructed to encompass the area of a typical parking space(s), and are open to any member of the public. The purpose of community parklets is to maximize a sense of community by utilizing public spaces for aesthetic amenities to create features of interest or opportunities for informal gatherings. About This Manual This manual is intended to provide a guide for residents, business owners or other interested parties who would like to establish a parklet in the unincorporated area of the County, as well as for County staff who will assist the parklet sponsor in the permitting process. This manual provides information on the standard design regulations and the steps required to obtain a parklet permit. The manual is intended to be a resource to all parties involved in the November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors318

7 | Page Establishment of a parklet, regardless of whether the sponsor is early in the design stage, or having an existing parklet reviewed for renewal. PProgram Goals Urban Green Space: As Contra Costa County continues to thrive, urban areas continue to emerge and grow to accommodate the needs of both residents and visitors. Parklets have great potential for providing green and/or recreational spaces in the heart of the County’s vital urban areas, which can enhance aesthetic values and provide areas for community building. Encourage Increased Pedestrian Activity: Parklets provide areas of interest along pedestrian corridors and places for pedestrians to rest and interact with others within the community. Support for Local Business: Although parklets are open to the public and cannot be established solely for the benefit of an adjacent business, parklets tend to draw attention to adjacent establishments and provide areas that can be utilized by patrons.

9 | Page PPARKLET DESIGN STANDARDS Parklet Location Identifying an appropriate location for a parklet is the key to successful implementation. 1. RRight-of-Way: A parklet in the public right- of-way must be available for use by the general public. In addition, the location within the public right of way requires the applicant to obtain a permit to construct and operate in the public right of way. A parklet proposed within private roadways or on private property requires an alternate review and approval process. 2. Designated On-Street Parking Areas: A parklet shall only be located in designated on-street parking areas. 3. PPosted Speed Limit: A parklet may be established along roadways where the posted speed limit is 25 mph or less. A parklet is allowed on streets where the posted speed is greater than 25 mph only if the Public Works Department determines that safety concerns have been addressed by the applicant. Careful review of speed surveys, collision data, roadway geometrics, fortified railing design, sight distance, and other factors will be required at these locations. An additional deposit may be required for these locations as additional staff time will be required. 4. TTraffic Volume and Collision History: If a parklet is proposed on roadways with an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) count exceeding 10,000 vehicles, an additional deposit may be required as additional staff time may be required. Parklets proposed at locations with a significant collision history may also require additional review. 5. CCorner Location (see Figure 1): A parklet shall not block sight distance of motorists at intersections or driveways. Accordingly, a parklet may not be located less than 25 feet from a roadway intersection (see Figure 1 below and County Standard Plan CA10). The final distance required may vary based on the surrounding roadway conditions, and shall be subject to the approval of the Public Works Department. November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors322
10 | Page Figure 1: Sight Triangle at Corners (see CA10) 6. DDriveways (see Figure 2): A parklet shall not be placed within 25 feet of an adjacent driveway or other points of off-street access which require line of sight standards as required by the Public Works Department. The final location of a parklet will vary based on the proposed parklet design, and shall be subject to review and approval. Figure 2: Driveway Clearance 7. LLongitudinal Slope: Parklets are prohibited on streets where the longitudinal slope exceeds 5 percent (see Figure 3). When installed on a street with a longitudinal slope of three percent or greater, a parklet must include a wheelchair rest area. Figure 3: Slope Diagram pe DiagramNovember 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors323

Parklets may be permitted within loading, short-term and commercial loading/unloading zones on a case by case basis provided that the parklet will not create a safety hazard or adversely impact surrounding land uses. 9. Utilities: A parklet may not cover or impede access to any utility equipment, utility pole, fire hydrant, parking permit kiosk, or utility access such as manhole covers, drainage inlets, and equipment shelters. Additional setbacks from any of the above utility improvements and access points may be required to comply with the respective utility provider’s standards. 10. Public Transit (see Figure 4): A parklet may not be located within a bus zone or impede access to a public transit stop (i.e. bus, light rail, or train, stop). Figure 4 (Above): Parklet at Bus Turnout November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors324

Figure 9: Samples of Fortified Railing/Barrier 3. RReflective Corner Elements (see Figure 10): The four corners of a parklet shall have a reflective element or other clearly visible design feature, such as a soft-hit post, bollard, or raised pavement marker, to illuminate the parklet at night and signify the parklet envelope. Figure 10: Sample Reflective Corner Elements 4. WWheel Stops (see Figure 11): In parallel parking areas, a 3-foot-long wheel stop shall be installed at each boundary between the parklet and the adjacent parking space. The wheel stop shall be installed so that it begins one foot away from the curb. A wheel stop shall be adequately secured to the roadway surface in a manner approved by the Public Works Department. 5. AADA Compliance: A parklet shall comply with applicable Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards. Compliance with ADA standards is required with respect to design elements of the parklet, as well as for adjacent areas that may be impacted by the parklet (e.g. Figure 11: Sample Wheel Stop November 1, 2016Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors327

PPlatform Surface: The top of a parklet platform shall be flush with the sidewalk grade. A cover, expansion joint, or other type of connector between the parklet surface and curb may also be required if necessary to provide a safe transition surface. If the platform base is not solid, the space underneath the platform surface must be accessible for maintenance through access panels, removable pavers, or other method. To avoid a tripping hazard and achieve ADA compliance, a maximum elevation/height difference of ¼ inch should be maintained between the curb and parklet platform. A parklet platform shall be secured in place to prevent movement of the parklet structure. A parklet platform shall be secured to the existing street or curb by bolting or other method approved by the Public Works Department. 9. DDrainage (see Figure 16): A parklet may not impede the flow of curbside drainage nor cover an existing drainage inlet.

5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Variance application #VR16-1014 - The applicant requests approval of a variance to allow for a 1,587 square foot detached
garage with a 275 square foot wine cellar (where 600 square feet is the maximum). Property is located at 70 Holiday. – UPDATE
– application has been withdrawn per Department of Conservation and Development. After further research by planning staff a
records search on this property turned up a finaled building permit from 1979 for a detached garage for the same size and square
footage as the garage today that the homeowner is looking to renovate. Since the building was permitted with a final building
inspection, then there is no need for the requested variance. You can renovate (interior work) on a permitted building.

obtain stable home environments, or receive placements as part of a sibling group; and,
WHEREAS, many of these children have special needs related to physical, mental or emotional disabilities
and need the support that adoptive families can provide; and,
WHEREAS, there are families able and willing to adopt children who have a range of needs; and,

permanency, more likelihood of staying connected to siblings, greater preservation of cultural identity, and
positive behavioral and mental outcomes due to placements with relative caregivers; and,
WHEREAS, the many children in our local foster care program need and deserve the security and nurturing
of permanent families, whether they are related or not; and,
WHEREAS, Children & Family Services in Contra Costa County offers concurrent planning enabling the
placement of children in a potential adoptive home while working with the birth family to help overcome
challenges; and,
WHEREAS, concurrent caregivers are foster parents and prospective adoptive parents at the same time who
provide love and stability to children by reducing the number of placements and providing permanency
while assisting in reunification efforts; and,
WHEREAS, disability, low income, or unmarried status does not preclude the right to adopt; and,
WHEREAS, adoptive parents and families who have adopted children require and deserve community and

2016 Shelter-in-Place Drill
FACT SHEET
The Shelter-in-Place drill will begin at 11:00 a.m. on November 2nd.
Or, if necessary, you can change to a time better suited to your site.
Each site will determine how complex they want the Shelter-in-Place drill to be at their own
facility. The scope can range from a tabletop exercise with staff to a full-scale drill bringing
everyone inside to Shelter-in-Place. Drill can be as long as you want it to be.
The drill is being sponsored by Contra Costa County CAER (Community Awareness
Emergency Response) Group. CAER is a non-profit organization with members from fire,
law enforcement, health services, emergency services, plus community and industry
representatives.
All public and private schools and childcare centers are encouraged to participate. This is a
chance to be part of a countywide exercise that will receive media coverage and promote
further awareness about Shelter-in-Place training and procedures.
Participating schools and childcare centers that return a “participation sheet” will have their
names posted on the CAER Web site at www.cococaer.org.
City Councils in the County are being asked to proclaim November 2nd as “Shelter-in-Place
Education Day.” The County Board of Supervisors will also proclaim November 2nd as
Shelter-in-Place Education Day.
The Shelter-in-Place Drill is an annual event on the first Wednesday in November. Last
year, approx. 200 sites participated and even more are expected to practice their Shelter-in-
Place procedures this year. CAER sponsors the drill to promote emergency preparedness
in our schools and childcare centers.
Please note: If you do not normally hear the sound of the sirens on the first
Wednesday of every month YOU WILL NOT HEAR THEM ON Nov.2nd Sirens are
only one of the ways a Shelter-in-Place alert is broadcast. In an actual emergency, other
tools to alert the public would also be used, such as KCBS 740AM radio, e-mail notifications
(visit www.incident.com to sign up), scrolling messages on CCTV, weather radio alerts, and
the TENS system (automated telephone calls).

In the matter of:Resolution No. 2016/605
Honoring Easter Hill United Methodist Church of Richmond, CA on its 65th Anniversary.
Whereas, Easter Hill United Methodist Church was started in the late 1940's- early 1950's when residents
identified the need for a Methodist church in South Richmond. It began with meetings in the apartment of
Jones and Mattie Mann, where fundraising and other planning began for a permanent church; and
Whereas, the early planning group raised $1,600 which was used to buy a piece of property at 30th Street
and Hoffman Blvd, the site of the first Easter Hill United Methodist Church, named for a small hill between
28th Street and Hoffman Blvd. in Richmond, where Easter Sunrise Worship was held. Several pastors
served the early church during the planning stage including Rev. Dixon, followed by Rev. S.D. Rhone, Rev.
Carr and Rev. W. B. Smith, and Rev. Wilbur R. Johnson, who arrived from Boston in 1951 to serve as
Easter Hill United Methodist Church's first official pastor; and
Whereas, the state needed the church's land for freeway expansion, so in 1956 it moved to 39th Street and
Cutting Blvd. Rev. Booker Anderson lead Easter Hill Methodist faithfully from 1959 to 1969, a period
when it was known as a Social Justice Church, counting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. among its
distinguished speakers; and
Whereas, over the next few decades as the church grew in congregants, activities and programs, several
devoted and inspirational pastors led Easter Hill, including Rev. Dr. A. Edward Bell, Rev. Amos
Cambridge, Rev. Max Brown, Rev. David Houston, Rev. Ronald Swisher, and Rev. Dorothy Williams, the
first African-American female pastor ordained by the California-Nevada conference; and
Whereas, approaching the turn of the century, East Hill pastors included Frederick G. Grey, Reginald
Nichols, and Rev. Phillip Lawson, who served until he retired in 2003; and
Whereas, in 1997, Easter Hill purchased property between 36th and 37th streets on Cutting Boulevard,
opening a thrift store, and Family Life Center; and
Whereas, after Rev. Lawson's retirement, Rev. Billye Austin led the church until his retirement in 2014
when Easter Hill's current pastor, Rev. Donald Francis Guest was appointed;
Whereas, during this rich history, Easter Hill United Methodist church earned a reputation as a thriving
center of spirituality, community service, and commitment to human rights; and
Whereas, in 2016, Easter Hill is celebrating 65 years of inspired service to the people of Richmond and
West Contra Costa County.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County does hereby honor Easter Hill United
Methodist Church of Richmond, CA on its 65th Anniversary.

In the matter of:Resolution No. 2016/567
Recognizing Mary Whatford upon her retirement as Recorder Operations Manager in the Contra Costa County
Clerk-Recorder Department.
Whereas, Mary Whatford joined the Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder Department on June 7, 1988; and
Whereas, Mary oversaw the Department’s Recording Unit beginning in August, 1996; holding many titles
as she progressed through the ranks to serve the last 18 years as Recorders Operations Manager; and
Whereas, during Mary’s tenure she oversaw the recording, imaging, and indexing of more than 10,000,000
documents by the Recording Unit, making possible the constructive notice of real property transactions to
the public; and
Whereas, Mary lead the successful implementation of Department’s Electronic Document Recording
System which has grown to account for more than 50 percent of documents submitted for recording; and
Whereas, Mary excelled as a liaison with Title Companies; interfacing with them daily and providing
excellent customer service that elicited endless compliments and praise; and
Whereas, Mary was responsible for the development of a Deputy Commissioner of Marriage training
program in which she trained and mentored staff by drawing from her own years of experience by joining
approximately 5,000 couples in matrimony – an activity she expressed as fulfilling and “warming” to the
heart; and
Whereas, while working full time for the Clerk-Recorder Department, Mary concurrently enjoyed a long
and extensive career as a basketball referee, moving up the ranks from officiating youth and high school
basketball to junior college and Division 1 women’s college games including Pac 12, Big Sky, WCC, and
WAC conferences, as well as NCC post season tournaments; and
Whereas, Mary is an avid cyclist, having participated in the Lake Tahoe Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
and the Waves to Wine Multiple Sclerosis fundraising rides for many years; and
Whereas, Mary’s dedication and strong work ethic are evidenced by her calling in sick only one day in 28
years; and
Whereas, Mary’s most enjoyable “claim to fame” is sharing with people that she and Tom Hanks were both
born in Contra Costa County on the same day (different year); and
Whereas, Mary dedicated more than 28 years to serving the residents of Contra Costa County and beyond,
and now looks forward to pursuing other passions and spending time with family and friends, including
camping and traveling;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County does hereby congratulate,
thank, and honor Mary Whatford for her remarkable service and dedication to Contra Costa County.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Ordinance No. 2016-20 amending the County Ordinance Code to change the appointing authority of the
exempt classification of Medical Director and to remove the exempt classifications of Ambulatory Care Chief
Executive Officer, Contra Costa Health Plan Medical Director, and Mental Health Medical Director from the list of
classifications excluded from the Merit System as requested by the Health Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no costs associated with this action.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Health Services system of care has grown and continues to expand its services to accommodate the
increase in the number of patients served throughout Contra Costa County. Further, expanded services are necessary
in order to meet guidelines and regulations set forth by federal, state, and accreditation agencies. These services
require effective and efficient medical care oversight and warrant the addition of two (2) Medical Director - Exempt
positions within the Health Services Senior Management Executive Team.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
areas of the health care system including Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers, Contra Costa
Health Plan, Behavioral Health, Emergency Medical Services, and Public Health. The primary responsibility is to
plan, organize, implement and direct the professional medical standards, comprehensiveness and efficiency of the
medical care component in the health care system. The Department has determined that the classifications of
Contra Costa Health Plan Medical Director, Mental Health Medical Director and Ambulatory Care Chief
Executive Officer, and their vacant positions no longer meet its operational needs. On October 25, 2016, the
Board approved the introduction of Ordinance 2016-20, which proposed to amend the County Ordinance Code to
change the appointing authority of the exempt classification of Medical Director from the Board to the Director of
Health Services, to remove the classifications of Ambulatory Care Chief Executive Officer, Contra Costa Health
Plan Medical Director, and Mental Health Medical Director from the list of classifications excluded from the merit
system, to waive the reading, and fix November 1, 2016 for adoption.
The Department is therefore requesting that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 2016-20. Additionally, under
Personnel Actions of this agenda, the Department is also requesting to abolish the exempt classifications of
Contra Costa Health Plan Medical Director, Mental Health Medical Director and Ambulatory Care Chief
Executive Officer, cancel their respective vacant position, and add two Medical Director - Exempt positions to
meet medical care oversight needs in Health Services divisions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to obtain Board approval will hinder the Department's efforts to efficiently and effectively manage the
expanded health services system of care, which may adversely impact patient care services.

Approve the medical staff appointments and reappointments, additional privileges, department change request,

FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has requested that evidence of Board of
Supervisors approval for each Medical Staff member will be placed in his or her Credentials File. The above
recommendations for appointment/reappointment were reviewed by the Credentials Committee and approved by the
Medical Executive Committee.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers' medical staff
would not be appropriately credentialed and therefore would not be in compliance with the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21979 to:
Effective December 1, 2016, abolish the classifications of Contra Costa Health Plan Medical Director-Exempt
(VPD4) and Mental Health Medical Director-Exempt (VPD1) at salary plan and grade B85-2643 ($15,858)
and cancel their respective vacant positions #9979 and #13822; and abolish the classification of Ambulatory
Care Chief Executive Officer - Exempt (VAB1) at salary plan grade and level B85 2614 ($15,408) and cancel
vacant position #13890; and
Effective November 2, 2016 add two Medical Director-Exempt (VCA2) positions at salary plan and grade B85
2645 ($25,913) in the Health Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval of all actions, the total increased salary and benefit costs are approximately $112,835, which includes
estimated pension costs of $51,594. The department has offset most of the costs with the elimination of three exempt
classifications and their respective three positions. Additionally, the Medical Director - Exempt position for mental
health will allow the department to eliminate a contract for mental health medical director services, which will offset
the additional costs to mental health. Increased costs for CCHP will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II
monies.

BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Health Services system of care has grown and continues to expand its services to accommodate the
increase in the number of patients served throughout Contra Costa County. Further, expanded services are
necessary in order to meet guidelines and regulations set forth by federal, state, and accreditation agencies. These
services require effective and efficient medical care oversight and warrant the addition of two Medical Director -
Exempt positions within the Health Services Department that will also serve on the Senior Management Executive
Team. The Medical Director-Exempt classification will be utilized in various areas of the health care system
including Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers, Mental Health, Contra Costa Health Plan,
Emergency Medical Services and Public Health. The primary responsibility is to plan, organize, implement and
direct the professional medical standards, comprehensiveness and efficiency of the medical care component in the
health care system.
With the addition of the Medical Director - Exempt positions, the Department has determined that the
classifications of Contra Costa Health Plan Medical Director, Mental Health Medical Director, and Ambulatory
Care Chief Executive Officer and their vacant positions no longer meet operational needs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to obtain Board approval will hinder the Department's efforts to efficiently and effectively manage the

FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $6,605,676 with estimated pension costs of
$1,459,118 already included. The entire cost will be completely offset with Whole Person Care Pilot Program
revenues, which will provide $20 million net annually over a five-year period for the Department to identify high
cost Medi-Cal utilizers that may benefit from the development and provision on low cost alternative services.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Health Services is one of eighteen counties who has applied for and expects to receive $20
million funding for a Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot Program from the California Department of Health Care
Services (DHCS). The Program provides integrated physical health, behavioral health, and social services in a
patient-centered manner with the goals of improved health and well-being of a vulnerable population. It targets
Medi-Cal patients who are high-risk, high-utilizers of high acuity medical services and/or across multiple delivery
systems.
The Program will provide coordination of services through a three-pronged approach: 1) Integrated and
Coordinated Data Systems, 2) Enhanced and Coordinated Case Management, and 3) a Sobering Center. It requires
a robust staffing profile to meet the deliverables set forth by the DHCS and to deliver the team-based case
management and care coordination services to the County's highest utilizing Medi-Cal population. The
Department is requesting 41 positions in varied classifications including administrative and technical support,
clinic providers, information technology and management staff to provide enhanced case management services in
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 413
order to address underlying social determinants of health that are leading to poor health outcomes.
Immediately following Board approval, the Department plans to start recruitment processes to fill the positions
and orient staff as the program implementation date is set for July 1, 2017.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Department will lose $20 million funds for the Whole Person Care Pilot
Program from the Department of Health Care Services.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21970 to add one (1) full-time Administrative Aide-Deep Class (AP7A)
(unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade B85 0972 ($3,031 - $4,703) in the Library Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $67,428. There is no
fiscal impact to the County General Fund. This position is funded in the Library budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Library has identified a need for an Administrative Aide Deep Class position to assist in preparing, monitoring,
and processing key administrative functions that are para-professional and confidential in nature. Examples of duties
include: research and analysis work involving Library operation and policy matters, preparing responses to all Public
Records Act requests, providing select labor and personnel-related support, and carrying out on a day-to-day basis
the business affairs of the Contra Costa County Library Commission. This position will report to the County
Librarian.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this position is not added, the Library will be less efficient in its administrative responses internally, as well as to
the municipalities, the public and to its external partners such as Friends groups and the Contra Costa County Library
Commission.

November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 425
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Computerized Tomography (CT), Special Procedures, Mammography, etc. The requested positions can be
assigned to any of the previous mentioned imaging modalities. Currently the availability of the DI pool of
permanent intermittent technologists has decreased; leaving diagnostic imaging services short staffed which
creates patient care delays. Additionally, inadequate staffing areas could lead to Joint Commission violations.
Approval of this request will improve the department’s ability to better staff the Diagnostic Imaging unit and
decrease patient care delays.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action not approved, the department will not have adequate staffing which will impact patient’s treatments
by causing cancellations and delays in patient’s exams.

among Salmonella and other enteric bacteria. The 17 participating state health departments forward every tenth
human Salmonella isolate to CDC for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
The CDC is requesting that additional Emerging Infections Program (EIP) sites participate in the study of foodborne
bacteria. Such bacteria is not uncommon and often is associated with the use of antimicrobial agents in food animals,
especially in retail food. This study will assist in generating a database that may be utilized to augment the
development of intervention programs to stem the high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in the meal and poultry
food supply. The goal of the study is to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella,
Campylobacter, E.coli and enterococci isolated from a sample of chicken, ground turkey, ground beef and pork
chops purchased from selected grocery stores in the catchment area of the California EIP FoodNet site. This will
include samples collected from Contra Costa, Alameda and San Francisco County retail grocery stores.
Approval of this Agreement #28-706-19 will allow continuous funding to support the Emerging Infections Program -
Retail Foods Project, through August 31, 2017. This Agreement includes mutual indemnification.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, the County will not receive additional funding to continue provide services for the
Emerging Infections Program - Retail Foods Project.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute the First Amendment to the County
Franchise Agreement with Crockett Garbage Company to extend the term of the Agreement through December 31,
2016 in order to allow time for finalizing the terms and conditions of a proposed nine-year extension of the Crockett
Franchise and associated proposed service enhancements and rate adjustment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the County General Fund. Approval of the recommended Franchise Amendment would obligate
Crockett Sanitary Service to continue paying solid waste/recycling franchise fees to the County through the end of
this calendar year.
BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 1996, the County entered into a franchise agreement with Walter Botta, the sole proprietor of the
Crockett Garbage Company, to provide collection and recycling services for the unincorporated communities of
Crockett, Port Costa and Tormey. Walter Botta immediately assigned his rights and obligations under the Agreement
to Crockett Garbage Service, Inc. (name was subsequently changed to Crockett Sanitary Service, Inc.), which is a
subsidiary of Richmond Sanitary Service, Inc. The term of the Agreement will end on November 5, 2016, unless
amended to extend the term.

Subject:First Amendment to the Franchise Agreement with Crockett Garbage Company
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 447
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
County staff recommends that the agreement be extended through December 31, 2016, to allow both parties to
finalize the terms of a proposed nine-year extension of the Crockett Franchise. This timing is preferable so that the
proposed nine-year extension and the associated service enhancements could take effect on January 1, 2017, which
coincides with the planned implementation of the Base Year Rate adjustment that is expected to be considered by the
Board in November/December 2016. Crockett Sanitary Service, Inc., has executed the First Amendment
recommended for approval by the Board.
This is the last of the four Franchise Agreements that the County entered into between 1993 and 1996. It is also the
last proposed to be amended in order to extend the term for nine years (ten years for the other franchises). In order to
seek direction from the Board regarding whether or not to extend these solid waste and recycling collection franchise
agreements again in future years, staff will return to the Board of Supervisors three years prior to their termination
dates, which fall between 2023 and 2025. This three-year "tickler" should allow adequate time for staff to conduct a
Request for Proposals process should the Board so direct, including soliciting and selecting a contractor as well as
completing negotiations with the selected contractor.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Unless and until an Amendment or new Franchise Agreement was approved by both parties, as of November 5,
2016, the County would no longer have a Franchise Agreement in effect to regulate the waste and recycling
collection services provided to residential and commercial customers currently being served by Crockett Sanitary
Service in Crockett, Port Costa or Tormey.

County
Subject:Contract with NBS Government Finance Group to Evaluate and Update the Land Development Fee Schedule
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 470
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) and Public Works Department (PWD) are the two County
departments with primary responsibility for regulating and permitting land development activities within the
County's jurisdiction. The two Departments are responsible for the County's planning, building inspection and public
infrastructure functions. The Departments review permit applications and issue permits for a wide variety of land use
activities, including land use permits, building permits, and encroachment permits, to name just a few.
DCD and PWD collect fees from permit applicants to offset the costs the two Departments incur providing services to
administer their permitting processes. Fees collected by the two Departments are based on the County's Land
Development Fee Schedule (Fee Schedule).
The current Fee Schedule is based largely on a fee study performed by an outside consultant in the mid 1990's, and
has not been comprehensively updated since that time. As a result, many of the fees and fee deposit amounts in the
Fee Schedule - as well as the apportionment of fees shared between DCD and PWD - are based on an analysis that is
over 20 years old and may no longer correspond to current operating conditions (although it should be noted that
hourly rates for staff time and project valuation tables have been updated over the years to reflect current costs). To
address these circumstances, DCD and PWD seek services from NBS to comprehensively update the Fee Schedule
based on current operating conditions.
The County has a long-standing practice that Land Development services provided by DCD and PWD are fully
self-supporting and that all costs incurred by the two Departments providing such services are fully paid for through
fees collected by the Departments. No County general funds are allocated to subsidize these services.
Therefore, the goal of the Fee Schedule is to collect fees that fairly and equitably recover the costs incurred by DCD
and PWD in providing land development services. Since the current fee schedule has not been comprehensively
reviewed and updated in over 20 years, DCD and PWD anticipate that adjustments to many existing fees and
inclusion of some new fees will likely be required to meet this goal.
The County's standard indemnification clause has been modified in this contract such that if the County elects to
defend itself from legal claim covered by the Contractor's general liability insurance policy, the Contractor is not
obligated to reimburse the County for the costs of such defense to the extent such costs are not accepted by the
Contractor's insurance provider.
DCD and PWD recommend that this topic be referred to the Internal Operations Committee for status updates before
returning to the Board for further action.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve the proposed contract, DCD and PWD will not be able to utilize the services of NBS to
evaluate the Land Development Fee Schedule.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with PDM Group, Inc.,
including modified indemnification language, in an amount not to exceed $25,000, to provide County right of way
services related to the City of Napa First and Second Street Roundabouts Project, for the period from October 1,
2016, through Septemeber 30, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% City of Napa Funds.
BACKGROUND:
On April 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the Real Property Services Agreement with the City of Napa
(City) to provide right of way services to acquire certain interests in real property for their First and Second Street
Roundabouts Project.
The Public Works Real Estate Division is currently understaffed and in need of additional right of way acquisition
assistance for the City’s project. The City’s project schedule is under a constricted timeline and assistance is
necessary to meet the acquisition deadlines for the City’s federally funded project. Under this contract, PDM Group,
Inc. will provide right of way services to the County related to the City’s project.
The contract includes modified indemnification language. The requirement that the contractor defend the County and
pays for any County-selected defense of any claims has been deleted.

for the period November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of this contract will be paid from the operating budgets of the Department of Conservation and Development
and the Public Works Department, using Land Development Fees.
BACKGROUND:
The Joint Billing System ("JBS") is a critical information technology ("IT") system supporting the County's land
development activities. JBS is used by staff in the Department of Conservation and Development ("DCD") and Public
Works Department ("PWD") for tracking staff time and billing permit applicants for services provided. JBS interfaces
with other County IT systems, such as the County's finance system and DCD's permitting system, Accela Automation.
JBS was developed internally by County IT staff beginning in the late 1990's, and went live in 2002. While JBS has
fulfilled its intended purpose, as the system ages some limitations have become apparent, and it is now prudent to
review its functionality. Current technology offers opportunities for a billing system that improves the customer
services experience for the public and enhances operational efficiencies for DCD and PWD.

Subject:Contract with Ten2Eleven Business Solutions to Modernize the Joint Billing System
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 474
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
DCD and PWD are seeking to modernize JBS so that it continues to serve its current functions, but also adds
additional functionality to meet current business needs. The new solution will need to perform the functions that JBS
currently performs, including billing and interface with other relevant County IT systems. In addition the two user
Departments are seeking a solution that adds additional functionality, such as on-line customer billing and payments,
use of credit cards as a means to receive payment and conduct on-line transactions, a more intuitive user interface, the
ability to produce management reports, greater flexibility to adapt to future changes in business needs, and greater
ease of maintenance for County IT staff. Any new system must also migrate data from the current system to allow for
a smooth transition, with no interruption to business operations.
The purpose of this contract is so that DCD and PWD can obtain analysis and advice from Ten2Eleven Business
Solutions ("Ten2Eleven") regarding options and recommendations for modernizing JBS to meet the business needs of
the two Departments. Possible alternatives may include commercial off-the-shelf solutions, custom components, or
modifications to the existing system.
Ten2Eleven will work with DCD and PWD staff to gain understanding of the operation work flows and business

Subject:Tassajara Parks Environmental Impact Report Contract Amendment
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 497
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
A lead agency is required to recirculate an EIR when significant new information regarding the project is added to
the EIR after public notice of availability of the Draft EIR and before certification. Additionally, the RDEIR has
been updated to include a more detailed project description and clarification, as appropriate, related to
anesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biology, geology and transportation.
First Carbon Solutions has identified additional tasks necessary to complete the RDEIR, that include project
management, incorporation of the Memorandum of Understanding in the project topic areas and the response to
comments. This is the fourth budget amendment. The increased payment limit is necessary to cover the additional
work. There is no change to the term of the contract which is valid until September 9, 2018.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not authorize the EIR contract amendment, there would not be sufficient funds for First Carbon
Solutions to complete the EIR.

Subject:2017 MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 499
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
As in past years, we are recommending that the Board cancel those meetings that fall during a week with a County
holiday, the fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in which the annual policy and
legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State of Counties (CSAC)
are held:
Conference Dates Location
NACo Legislative Conference February 25-March 1, 2017 Washington,
D.C.
CSAC Legislative Conference May 17-18, 2017 Sacramento, CA
NACo Annual Conference &
Exposition
July 21-24, 2017 Columbus, OH
CSAC Annual Meeting November 27-December 1,
2017
Sacramento, CA
In the past 10 years, several seasonal breaks have also been designated in the Board's meeting schedule, in
recognition of both time away needed for vacations and of the time demands on the Board members due to their
participation on Board standing committees, and numerous regional and local legislative bodies and task forces,
which require preparation, attendance, and involve travel. We are recommending eight seasonal breaks to
accommodate these needs. Experience has shown that 32 meetings per year has generally been sufficient to
effectively conduct the County's business. However, should it be necessary, there are legal provisions to schedule
a special meeting to address any urgent need that cannot be accommodated in the standing meeting schedule.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Early adoption of a meeting schedule enables staff to effectively plan and manage the Board's calendar and obtain
the necessary authority to conduct the County's daily business. To the extent that the Board does not adopt a new
year meeting schedule, staff will be hindered in these efforts.

California law allows cities, counties, and other authorized public agencies to establish voluntary financing districts to
facilitate energy and water efficiency improvements to existing residential and commercial properties. Such
financing is commonly referred to as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. Once established, property
owners within the boundaries of such a district can voluntarily choose to enter into a contractual assessment and

borrow funds from the district to make energy efficiency improvements. The assessment is then repaid in
installments on the property tax bill. If the property owner were to default on the property taxes, the Treasurer-Tax
Collector would have the authority to foreclose on the property to collect payment.
The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is a Joint Powers Authority with the
legal authority to establish PACE financing districts, and is the public agency sponsor of the CaliforniaFirst PACE
financing program. Contra Costa County is a member of CSCDA. CSCDA contracts with the financial services
firm Renew Financial Group LLC to administer day-to-day operations of the CaliforniaFirst program.
On June 16, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved the recommendation of the Internal Operations Committee
to direct the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to establish an application process and accept
applications from PACE providers to operate within the unincorporated area of the county. The Board also
approved the form of an Operating Agreement the County would require PACE providers to enter into with the
County as a condition of operations. The purpose of the Operating Agreement is to protect the County and the
general public from the potential costs and risk of PACE programs. The Operating Agreement requires PACE
providers to participate in the State PACE Loss Reserve Program, disclose financial costs and risks to
participating property owners, and indemnify the County from legal claims arising from the operation of PACE
programs.
In July 2015, DCD received applications from two PACE programs: CaliforniaFirst and California HERO.
Consistent with direction received from the Board, staff began a review of the application materials submitted by
these two PACE programs.
On November 17, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved an Operating Agreement with the Western Riverside
Council of Governments (WRCOG) and adopted a resolution authorizing WRCOG to operate the California
HERO PACE financing program within the unincorporated area of the county. The HERO program is now
operating within the unincorporated area and is providing PACE financing to property owners to finance energy
and water efficiency improvements to their property.
After several months of discussions in 2015 and early 2016, DCD and CSCDA reached an impasse in
negotiations concerning an agreement to authorize CSCDA to operate the CaliforniaFirst program within the
County's jurisdiction. The main obstacle to completing an agreement was CSCDA's decision not to provide full
indemnification to the County for the operation of the CaliforniaFirst program.
In May 2016, the Internal Operations Committee of the Board of Supervisors heard a status report on PACE
financing and directed DCD and County Counsel to attempt to resolve the impasse with CSCDA concerning the
CaliforniaFirst program.
The recommended Operating Agreement and Indemnification and Insurance Agreement will satisfy the County's
requirements and will enable CSCDA to operate the CaliforniaFirst program within the unincorporated area of the
county. The Insurance Indemnification Agreement with Renew Financial Group LLC provides additional
indemnification protection to the County that CSCDA did not agree to provide in the Operating Agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board of Supervisors does not approve the recommended actions, the CaliforniaFirst PACE financing
program will not be able to provide property owners in the unincorporated area of the county with financing for
energy and water efficiency improvements to their property.

the owner or owners of each lot or parcel on which an assessment is levied at the time the assessment is levies; and
WHEREAS, the County desires to allow the owners of property ("Participating Property Owners") within its jurisdiction to

November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 541
Section 1. This Board of Supervisors hereby finds and declares that properties in the jurisdiction of the County will benefit from
the availability of the CaliforniaFirst program within the jurisdiction of the County and, pursuant thereto, the conduct of special
assessment proceedings by the Authority pursuant to Chapter 29 and the issuance of bonds to finance or refinance improvements.
This resolution shall only authorize the PACE Program administered by Renew Financial Group LLC, known as the
CaliforniaFirst Program, to be available within the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County. Other program administrators
under the Open PACE program may be made available by the County by adoption of a separate authorizing resolution.
Section 2. In Connection with the CaliforniaFirst PACE program, the County hereby consents to the conduct of special
assessment proceedings by the Authority pursuant to Chapter 29 on any property within the jurisdiction of the County and the
issuance of bonds to finance or refinance Improvements; provided, that
The Participating Property Owners, who shall be the legal owners of such property, execute a contract pursuant to Chapter

1.
The County will not be responsible for the conduct of any assessment proceedings; the levy of assessments; any required
remedial action in the case of delinquencies in such assessment payments; or the issuance, sale or administration of any
bonds issues in connection with the Programs.

Section 4. The appropriate officials and staff of the County are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver such
certificates, requisitions, agreements and related documents as are reasonably required by the Authority to implement the
Programs.
Section 5. The Board of Supervisors hereby finds that adoption of this Resolution is not a "project" under the California
Environmental Quality Act, because the Resolution is a government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a
specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, as contemplated by Title 14,
California Code of Regulations, Section 15378(b)(4).
Section 6. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors is hereby
authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the Secretary of the Authority at: Secretary of the Board,

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
COUNTY of CONTRA COSTA
AND
RENEW FINANCIAL GROUP LLC
This Indemnification and Insurance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and
between the County of Contra Costa, a political subdivision of the State of California
(“County”), and Renew Financial Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“PACE Administrator”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (“Authority”)
is a joint exercise of powers authority established pursuant to Chapter 5 of Division 7,
Title 1 of the California Government Code; and
WHEREAS, the Authority established the CaliforniaFIRST Program (“PACE Program”)
to allow the financing of certain renewable energy, energy efficiency and water
efficiency improvements that are permanently affixed to real property through the levy of
assessments voluntarily agreed to by participating property owners pursuant to Chapter
29 of Division 7 of the Streets and Highways Code (“Chapter 29”) and the issuance of
improvement bonds under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 upon the security of the
unpaid assessments; and
WHEREAS, the Authority is responsible for the formation, operation and administration
of the PACE Program as well as the sale and issuance of any bonds in connection
therewith, including the conduct of assessment proceedings, the levy and collection of
assessments and any remedial action in the case of such assessment payments, and
the offer, sale and administration of any bonds issued by the Authority on behalf of the
PACE Program; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has entered into a separate operating agreement with the
County authorizing it to offer and provide the PACE Program in Contra Costa County;
and
WHEREAS, the PACE Administrator is an independent contractor of the Authority that
markets, administers, and carries out the PACE Program in Contra Costa County on
behalf of the Authority.
NOW, THERFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Indemnify. To the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law,
the PACE Administrator shall defend, indemnify, protect, save, and hold harmless the
County, the County Auditor-Controller, the County Treasurer-Tax Collector, their
respective employees, agents, attorneys, officers, divisions, related agencies and
entities, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively and individually the
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 583
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
2
“Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, fines,
penalties, judgments, demands and defense costs (including, without limitation, actual,
direct, out-of-pocket costs and expenses and amounts paid in compromise or
settlement and reasonable outside legal fees arising from litigation of every nature or
liability of any kind or nature including civil, criminal, administrative or investigative)
arising out of or in connection with the PACE Program. If requested by any of the
Indemnitees, the PACE Administrator will defend any such suits at the sole cost and
expense of the PACE Administrator with counsel approved by the Contra Costa County
Counsel; provided, that if the Indemnitee does not request the PACE Administrator to
defend such suit, then the Indemnitee shall consult with the PACE Administrator
regarding the conduct of the defense and shall keep the PACE Administrator apprised
of important developments related to the claim. The PACE Administrator’s obligations
under this section will exist regardless of concurrent negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of any Indemnitee or any other person; provided, however, that the PACE
Administrator will not be required to indemnify Indemnitees for the proportion of liability
a court determines is attributable to the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the
County, its governing body, officers or employees. This indemnity shall apply to all
claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies of the PACE
Administrator, its affiliates or any other parties are applicable thereto. The policy limits
of any insurance of the PACE Administrator, its affiliates or other parties are not a
limitation upon the obligation of the PACE Administrator including without limitation the
amount of indemnification to be provided by the PACE Administrator. This
indemnification clause shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

matters contained herein. No prior oral or written understanding shall be of any force or
effect with respect to those matters covered hereunder. No supplement, modification or
amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the
parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be interpreted for or against any party by
reason of the fact that such party may have drafted this Agreement or any of its
provisions.
4. Section Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any
other purpose.
5. Waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
unless in the form of a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought,
and no such waiver shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or
not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 584
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
3
provided herein, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy
hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.
6. Severability and Governing Law. If any provision or portion thereof of this
Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or
otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to
contracts made and to be performed in California.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/614 authorizing the sale of specified tax-defaulted property at public auction, pursuant
to the California Revenue and Taxation Code ("R&T") §3698, as recommended by the Treasurer-Tax Collector.

specified in R&T §3698.5(a)(1). Should the final selling price at public auction be less than the amount as specified in
R&T §3698.5(a)(1), proceeds shall be distributed as specified in R&T §4673.1 & R&T §4674 and any remaining
balance to satisfy the amounts as specified in R&T §3698.5(a)(1) may be transferred from the Tax Loss Reserve

Subject:Sale of Tax-Defaulted Property by the County Tax Collector
November 1, 2016 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 596
BACKGROUND:
The Tax Collector has the authority to sell tax-defaulted property that is subject to the power of sale (R&T §3691).
Written approval of the Board of Supervisors (R&T § 3694 and 3698) is required to sell property at public auction
(R&T §3692) to the highest bidder at the time and place fixed for sale (R&T §3706)
Property that has been tax-defaulted for five or more years and is subject to the Tax Collector's power to sell may
be sold. All or any portion of a property may be offered for sale, without regard to its boundaries when it became
subject to sale (R&T §3691).
The purpose of the sale is to collect unpaid taxes. Offering property for sale achieves this, either by collecting the
unpaid taxes from the proceeds of the sale or through redemption by the assessee.
Any person or entity, including cities, taxing agencies, revenue districts and the State may purchase property at a
public auction (R&T § 3691 and 3705). The only exception to eligible purchasers is the Tax Collector, who
conducts the sale, or his/her employees (California Government Code § 1090).
If a parcel is redeemed before the close of business on the last business day prior to the date of sale, the power to
sell is automatically nullified and the parcel will be withdrawn from the sale. If a parcel is redeemed within 90
days of the scheduled sale, $150 will be collected to reimburse the County for costs incurred in preparing to
conduct the sale (R&T § 4112). Where property or property interests have been offered for sale at least once and
no acceptable bids therefor have been received at the minimum price, the tax collector may, in his or her
discretion and with the approval of the board of supervisors, offer that same property or those interests at the same
or next scheduled sale at a minimum price that the tax collector deems appropriate in light of the most current
assessed valuation of that property or those interests, or any unique circumstance with respect to that property or
those interests. (R&T § 3698.5(c)) Any parcel remaining unsold may be reoffered within a 90-day period and any
new parties of interest shall be notified in accordance with R&T §3706.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the Annual Tax Collector's Public Auction will not proceed and property taxes will not be
collected.
