Subject:ADOPT ORDINANCE AND APPROVE RELATED ACTIONS TO ESTABLISH A PERMIT PROGRAM FOR
SPECIFIED NON-FRANCHISED SOLID WASTE HAULERS
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 25
BACKGROUND:
This report addresses changes to proposed Ordinance No. 2017-16, which would establish a permit program for
non-franchised solid waste haulers.
On September 26, 2017, Ordinance No. 2017-16, as introduced on July 11, 2017 (the “Ordinance”), was
presented to the Board for adoption. At the meeting, the Board received and considered a number of proposed
revisions to the Ordinance that had been jointly submitted in writing by representatives of Garaventa Enterprises,
Inc., and Republic Services, Inc. (the “Joint Haulers”) and verbally by legal counsel on behalf of the Joint
Haulers. Garaventa Enterprises, Inc., has a County franchise to collect solid waste. Republic Services, Inc., is the
parent company of three solid waste companies that also have County solid waste franchises. Following a review
of these proposed changes and upon consideration of staff comments, the Board directed that the Ordinance be
revised.
In response, staff has prepared revised Ordinance No. 2017-16 (the “Revised Ordinance”). The Revised
Ordinance is attached to this report as Exhibit A and recommended for adoption. A redlined version of the
Revised Ordinance, which shows the changes made from the version introduced on July 11, is attached as Exhibit
B.
Staff has also prepared and attached as Exhibit C a color-coded mark-up of the Ordinance that illustrates
revisions proposed since September 26, and the status of those revisions. Many post-September 26 revisions were
made in response to the direction given by the Board on September 26. Other changes, some proposed by staff
and others proposed by the Joint Haulers, are not related to the Board’s September 26 direction. Staff and the
Joint Haulers concur with some of these other changes, but others are in dispute. The color-coded markup includes
comments that reflect staff’s position on the changes that staff disputes and explanation of new changes by staff.
The disputed changes are not included in the Revised Ordinance presented for adoption. The mark-up version is
provided to facilitate the Board’s discussion of the disputed changes.
Below is a brief discussion of significant changes that appear in the Revised Ordinance presented for adoption,
and significant points of contention between staff and the Joint Haulers.
1. Significant Changes in Revised Ordinance
Significant revisions reflected in the Revised Ordinance include:
Section 418-2.004 Permit requirement
The effective date of the permit requirement was changed from January 1, 2018, to March 1, 2018, to
provide the Health Services Department adequate lead time to develop the permit application form,
information materials, website updates, fix the amount of the performance bond, establish the permit fee,
and conduct outreach and education on the new requirements.
Section 418-2.006 Territorial limits; solid waste types
This section contains additional clarifying language about what a permit would not authorize.
Section 418-2.008 Exemptions
The exemption for collection and transport of solid waste under a federal, state or local permit has been
revised to apply only to federal and state permits where those permit requirements preempt the County’s
permit requirement.
A new exemption for collection and transport of solid waste under a local permit has been added, but is
limited to permits issued by sanitary districts, community services districts and solid waste joint powers
authorities.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 26
An exemption for the collection and transport of solid waste generated in a mechanized manufacturing
process or at a publicly operated treatment works was revised to apply to the collection and transport of
solid waste generated at a manufacturing plant, a term commonly understood to mean an industrial facility
consisting of land, buildings and machinery used to make or assemble products.
The collection and transport of solid waste generated at a publicly operated treatment works is now covered
under a separate exemption.
Section 418-2.010 Application
This section was revised to require the applicant to provide additional identifying information, including
business entity information and motor carrier identification numbers if applicable, and to call out vehicles
that have the capacity to provide roll-off box services.
Section 418-2.014 Permit issuance; grounds for denial
This section was revised to require that a valid certificate of liability insurance be provided by the applicant
as a condition of receiving a permit. Proof of insurance will not be required at the time of application, but
will be required before a permit will be issued. Failure to provide the required proof of insurance would be
grounds for denial of the permit.
This section was also revised to clarify that an overlap between an applicants service territory and a
franchise hauler's service territory would be grounds for denial only if the applicant wants to haul exactly
the same waste types (and nothing more) as a franchise hauler in only the franchisee's territory. With other
overlaps, the permit will need to be tailored by staff to avoid conflicts.
Section 418-2.016 Terms and Conditions
A subsection that describes the terms of a permit (i.e., the information on the face of the permit) was added
to this section.
The conditions subsection was modified in two significant respects. It now contains a condition to carry
proof of liability insurance in each motorized vehicle. Second, containers of one cubic yard or larger that
are used in the business will need to be marked with specified identifying information.
Section 418-2.022 Revocation
The revocation section now includes a subsection that expressly discusses a ground for revocation based on
a permittee’s operations that infringe upon the exclusive rights of a franchised solid waste hauler. The
provision also discusses how evidence of such activities, and evidence of a franchisee’s rights and
privileges under a franchise agreement, would be considered in revocation proceedings.
418-2.024 Prohibitions
The requirement to transport waste only to specified solid waste or recycling facilities was moved from the
permit conditions subsection to the prohibitions section in order to subject a broader range of persons – i.e.,
all persons required to have permits, as opposed to only the permittees – to this requirement. Staff
determined that this change would provide law enforcement with a more effective tool in addressing
unpermitted transfer stations.
2. Significant Joint Hauler Revisions Disputed by Staff
Staff’s comments on each revision proposed by the Joint Haulers that is not included in the Revised Ordinance are
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 27
included in the attached color-coded markup. Additional comments on significant areas of dispute follow.
Industrial waste exemption
On September 26, the Board rejected the Joint Haulers’ proposal to eliminate the exemption from the permit
requirement for the collection and hauling of industrial waste, which was described in the Ordinance at that time
as waste generated in a “mechanized mechanical process.” The Board was receptive, however, to a clearer
description of this kind of waste, and the Joint Haulers were to provide a definition for consideration. The Joint
Haulers instead proposed, again, to delete the exemption.
Staff remains opposed to the elimination of this exemption. Neither the generators nor haulers of this type of
waste were included in any of the outreach conducted by staff in the course of developing this ordinance. This
type of waste is also not found illegally dumped or at illegal transfer stations; therefore, requiring permits to haul
it is unlikely to further the stated goal of combating illegal dumping. Some wastes hauled from manufacturing
facilities must be hauled in specialized trucks or require special handling.
When the Joint Haulers failed to provide alternative language, staff rewrote the exemption to apply to all waste
generated at manufacturing plants. This exemption is clearer and would eliminate the need for haulers of assorted
types of waste generated at these facilities to obtain permits to collect the types of waste not covered under the
exemption.
Publicly operated treatment works waste exemption
Staff objects to the hauler's proposed edit to this exemption because it is too vague and also not consistent with the
Board's 9/26/17 direction. A non-franchised hauler who services a publicly operated treatment works would not
know, based on the terms of this ordinance, whether or not a permit was required. This could lead to enforcement
challenges for the County. Consequently, staff removed the hauler’s proposed edit.
Source-separated recyclable material exemption
From staff’s perspective, the Joint Hauler’s proposed elimination of the exemption for collecting and transporting
source-separate recyclable material would not yield positive results.
The free market approach to the hauling of source-separated recyclables has not proven to be problematic from an
environmental standpoint. Because the material has inherent value, it is not the sort of material that is taken to
illegal transfer stations or illegally dumped. For this reason, to the extent that customers are paying haulers to
collect this material, requiring these haulers to obtain permits would impose regulations and extra costs on these
haulers but not yield the environmental results that staff seeks through the adoption of a waste hauling ordinance.
The Joint Haulers have previously shared their concerns about the poaching of recyclables that the Joint Haulers
have exclusive rights to collect; however, due to a restriction in the Vehicle Code, the permit requirement will
apply only to vehicles for hire – i.e., vehicles operated by businesses that are performing services for paying
customers. This restriction, referenced in Section 418-2.028 of the Revised Ordinance, will, as a practical matter,
exempt poachers from the permit requirement.
The vehicle for hire restriction will also exempt from the permit requirement charities and others who collect
recyclables without charge. This exemption will apply regardless of whether an express exemption for the
collection and transport of this material is included in the final version of the ordinance. The express exemption,
however, serves as a billboard to charities and others who perform this service for free that they will not need to
obtain permits to continue their activities. Without this billboard, they may erroneously conclude that they do
need permits. This error could, in turn, unnecessarily impact their operations and fundraising strategies, and leave
customers with fewer options for disposing of these materials.
Unlike loads of mixed materials or wastes, source-separated recyclables do not need to be sorted at a transfer
station or other processing facility to facilitate recovery. Source-separated recyclable materials can be taken
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 28
directly from the pick-up location to recycling facilities since the customer has sorted material by type prior to
collection.
There may be numerous haulers that would cease to collect source-separated recyclables from existing customers
if subject to the added cost/burden of the ordinance’s permitting requirements. This could include collection of
certain recyclable materials that are not being collected for recycling by other haulers or seasonally high
quantities of a recyclable material that exceeds the amount the Franchise Hauler will pick-up at no additional
charge.
Finally, recycling haulers have not been included in the outreach conducted by staff. If the Board is inclined to
require them to get permits, staff recommends that this be considered as an amendment after staff has had an
opportunity to reach out to them to advise them of the proposal and gather their feedback.
Liability Insurance Requirement Upon Application
The Revised Ordinance includes a requirement that haulers have liability insurance coverage at the limits of $1
million per claim and $1 million in the aggregate, consistent with the Board’s September 26 direction.
The Joint Haulers now desire that an applicant have this insurance at the time of submittal of a permit application.
Staff is opposed to this requirement because it is too onerous and of no apparent public benefit. If the purpose of
the liability insurance is to protect people from harm caused by a permittee, there is no apparent reason to require
an applicant to have this insurance in effect before a permit is issued. It would be sufficient from a public
protection standpoint to have this requirement take effect at the time of permit issuance, and staff has included
this requirement in the Revised Ordinance.
Staff also notes that requiring a non-franchised solid waste hauler to have liability insurance in effect at the time
of permit issuance is consistent with the insurance requirements that apply to the Joint Haulers. The Joint Haulers
must have insurance during the terms of their franchises, which are akin to permits. Prospective solid waste
franchisees are not required to have insurance in place when they begin the process to obtain a franchise from the
County.
Staff Recommendation re: Further Ordinance Revisions
If the Board would like to consider incorporation of additional changes to the Revised Ordinance, in response to
revisions requested by the Joint Haulers, staff proposes that any such changes be considered as possible
amendments following adoption of the Revised Ordinance. This would allow allow staff to begin implementing
the permit requirement prior to March 1, 2018, which is the date the permit requirement is set to take effect under
Section 418-2.004. The Board could direct staff to return at a later date, perhaps one year from now, after
assessing the effect of the Revised Ordinance, to identify additional changes that could be included in an
ordinance amendment to address other revisions proposed by the Joint Haulers.
Performance Bond and Fee Hearing
Section 418-2.018 of the Revised Ordinance would require a permittee to file with the County a performance bond
of the type and in the amount set by Board resolution. Section 418-2.020 requires payment of a permit fee
established by Board resolution. Following adoption of the Revised Ordinance staff intends to return to the Board
with recommendations for action on these items.
California Environmental Quality Act
For the purposes of compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project consists of the
Ordinance as well as adoption of the bond and fee resolutions. Based on the record before the County,
Conservation and Development Department staff has determined that the whole of this project is exempt from
review under CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15273(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 29
15273(a)(1) specifies that fees established by public agencies to meet operating expenses are exempt. Section
15061(b)(3) provides that an activity is exempt if there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board decide not to adopt the ordinance as introduced and direct staff to further modify the ordinance,
staff may not have adequate time to develop the program, redeploy staff, establish the permit fee and performance
bond, and conduct outreach and education in time to issue permits by March 1, 2018.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM

Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; ADOPTED Ordinance No. 2017-16, as modified today, which will establish a permit program
for specified non-franchised solid waste haulers.

418-2.002 Definitions.
For purposes of this chapter, the following words and phrases have the following meanings:
(a) “Applicable laws and regulations” means federal, state or local law, regulations,
rules, ordinances and final administrative action that affect solid waste collection and
transportation. [Comment: Staff opposes this definition because it is excessive and
unwarranted. As used in the ordinance, among other things, the definition would require
permittees to comply with requirements that may not apply to them, and would give rise to
a permit revocation for violations outside the County’s jurisdiction, even if operations
under the permit conform to all applicable laws and regulations.]
(b)(a) “Solid waste” means all solid waste as defined in Public Resources Code section
40191 as may be amended from time to time.
(c)(b) “Solid waste facility” means a solid waste facility as defined in Public Resources
Code section 40194 as may be amended from time to time. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49,
82-42, 1443.)
418-2.004 Permit requirement.
Effective JanuaryMarch 1, 2018, [Comment: Staff will need more time to implement
this ordinance, including outreach activities.] no person shall collect solid waste from any
location in the unincorporated area and transport it over the public streets or highways of the
unincorporated area except under a valid permit issued under this chapter, unless an exemption
under this chapter applies. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.006 Territorial limits; solid waste types.
(a) A permit issued under this chapter authorizes the permittee to collect specified types of
solid waste within a specified territory in the unincorporated area and to transport it over the
public streets and highways of the unincorporated area, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the permit.
(b) A person may obtain a permit under this chapter to collect solid waste from territory in
the unincorporated area only to the extent that another person does not have an exclusive
privilege or right to collect that solid waste from that territory under a valid franchise agreement.
(c) A permit issued under this chapter does not authorize, and shall not be construed to
authorize, the permittee to collect solid waste within territory in the unincorporated area
when another person has an exclusive privilege or right to collect that solid waste within
that territory under a valid franchise agreement.
(d) A permit issued under this chapter does not authorize, and shall not be construed to
authorize, the collection and transport of solid waste within any incorporated area. (Ords.
2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.008 Exemptions.
The requirement to obtain a permit under Section 418-2.004 does not apply to any of the
following:
(a) The collection and transport of solid waste by the owner or occupant of the real property
where the solid waste was generated.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 46
(b) The collection and transport of solid waste that is generated on real property in the course
of a service provided to the owner or tenant of that property by a building contractor or
landscape contractor, if the solid waste is collected and transported by the contractor.
(c) The collection and transport of solid waste under a valid federal or state permit if the
federal or state permit requirement preempts the permit requirement under this chapter.
(d) The collection and transport of solid waste under a valid permit issued by the
county under Chapter 413-3 or by [Comment: Septage haulers must have environmental
health permits. Staff does not see the need to subject these haulers to dual permit
requirements.] a sanitary district, community services district, or joint powers authority
with jurisdiction over solid waste handling.
(e) The collection and transport of solid waste by the franchisee under a valid franchise
agreement.
(f) The collection and transport of solid waste generated at a manufacturing plant. The
collection and transport of solid waste generated at a manufacturing plant.[Comment:
Staff revised this subsection in response to the Board’s 9/26/17 direction. The previous
language provided an exemption for the collection and transport of solid waste generated
in a “mechanized manufacturing process.” The Board determined that the term needed to
be defined. The Joint Haulers were to provide a definition but instead deleted the entire
exemption. The deletion was not consistent with the Board’s direction, so staff reinserted
its revision (now in red). The revised language would exempt the collection and transport
of all solid waste generated at a manufacturing plant. This provision is included in a
revised ordinance recommended for adoption. See 11/14/17 Board Order for additional
discussion about this exemption.]
(g) The collection and transport of solid waste not collected and transported by a
franchised hauler pursuant to a franchise agreement that is generated at a publicly
operated treatment works. [Comment: Staff objects to the hauler’s proposed edit to this
exemption because it is too vague. A non-franchised hauler who services a publicly
operated treatment works would not know, based on the terms of this ordinance, whether
or not a permit was required. This could lead to enforcement challenges for the County.
The revision by the Joint Haulers was also not consistent with the Board’s 9/26/17
direction.]
(h) The collection and transport of source-separated recyclable material. The collection
and transport of source-separated recyclable material. [Comment: The joint haulers’
deletion of this exemption was not consistent with the Board’s direction, so staff has
reinserted the same language. The Joint Haulers offered to, but did not provide, a
definition for use in clarifying this exemption. See 11/14/17 Board Order for additional
discussion about this exemption.] (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.010 Application.
(a) A person may apply for a solid waste collection and transportation permit by submitting
an application to the Contra Costa County Health Services Department, Environmental Health
Division, and paying an application fee established by the board by resolution. The application
must be made using a form approved by the health officer and include all of the following:
(1) The full legal name, address and telephone number(s) of the applicant, including full
legal name of applicant and type of business together with any fictitious business name
statement(s), articles of incorporation, certificates of partnership or limited partnership,
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 47
copies of business licenses. If the applicant is a sole proprietor who will operate under a
fictitious business name, the applicant must provide a copy of a valid fictitious business
name statement for the business. If the applicant is a business entity, the applicant must
provide written documentation that the entity may lawfully conduct business in the
unincorporated area. [Comment: Staff proposes the change in red, which articulates the
kind of information that would be relevant to the application process.]
(2) Identification of all equipment and [Comment: Staff finds the term “equipment”
to be overbroad and vague. It is not clear how non-vehicular equipment could be
specifically identified.] vehicles proposed to be used in the collection and transport of solid
waste under the permit, including legible copies of valid California registration cards for each
vehicle, license plate number for each vehicle, vehicle identification number(s) (VIN), type
of vehicle, number of axles [Comment: The deleted text is not necessary, because it lists
types of information that are provided on vehicle registration cards. and identification of
specific vehicles using roll off boxes or containers. [Comment: Staff objects to the wording
but not the substance of this change by the Joint Haulers. Staff has substituted acceptable
language in red below, which would require all vehicles equipped to provide drop-off
services to be called out, even if drop box services are not proposed.] If any of the above
vehicles is equipped to provide drop box services, that information must also be provided.
(3) Proof of possession of a valid motor carrier identification number in good
standing issued under California Vehicle Code section 34507.5, if applicable.
(4) Identification of all individuals who will operate any of the vehicles described in
Section 418-2.010(a)(2) and written documentation of their legal authority to operate those
vehicles, including legible copies of valid California driver’s licenses.
(5) Identification of the types of solid waste to be collected and transported.
(6) Identification of the types of locations where solid waste will be collected.
(7) Identification of the specific territory to be served.
(8) Identification of the location(s) to which the solid waste will be transported.
(9) A description of any services to be provided to a customer related to the collection
and transport of solid waste for that customer.
(10) Evidence of liability insurance policy for purposes of compliance with Section
418-2.018(b). [Comment: A requirement that a permit applicant have insurance at the
application stage is unwarranted. An applicant may wish to make sure it is feasible to
obtain a permit before committing resources to obtain this insurance. Insurance that is
effective at the time of permit issuance is sufficient from the standpoint of public
protection.]
(b) A copy of the application will be provided by the health officer to the director of the
department of conservation and development for review to determine whether any other person
has obtained an exclusive right or privilege from the county to collect and transport the same
type of solid waste described in Section 418-2.010(a)(5) from the same territory described in
Section 418-2.010(a)(7). The review will be conducted and completed no later than 30 calendar
days following the date that the application is submitted.
(c) A copy of the application will be provided by the health officer to local public agencies
that have jurisdiction over solid waste handling within the territory described in Section 418-
2.010(a)(7), including sanitary districts and community services districts, for review to determine
whether any other person has obtained an exclusive right or privilege from the agency to collect
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 48
and transport the same type of solid waste described in Section 418-2.010(a)(5) from the same
territory described in Section 418-2.010(a)(7). (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.012 Vehicle inspections.
(a) All vehicles proposed to be used for collection and transport of solid waste under a
permit issued under this chapter shall be made available for inspection by the health officer.
(b) Before a new or renewed permit is issued under this chapter, the health officer shall
inspect all vehicles proposed to be used for collection and transport of solid waste under the
permit to determine compliance with the following minimum standards:
(1) The vehicle must be designed, constructed and configured for safe handling and to
securely contain the type of solid waste proposed to be collected; and
(2) The vehicle must be prominently marked with the name and telephone number of the
applicant. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.014 Permit issuance; grounds for denial.
(a) After receipt of an application, and payment of a permit fee established by the board by
resolution, and a valid certificate of liability insurance issued to the applicant that conforms
to the coverage requirement set forth in Section 418-2.018(b),[Comment: Staff inserted in
this language to take the place of the Joint Haulers’ recommended revision, which would
require the insurance to be in place at the time of submission of an application. This
language would require an applicant to provide proof of liability insurance coverage prior
to permit issuance, but affords the applicant the option of waiting until just before permit
issuance to provide that documentation. An applicant who already has insurance – such as
a permitee who is seeking a permit renewal -- could also opt to provide it at the time of
application.] and following the review by the director of the department of conservation and
development opportunities provided under Sections 418-2.010(b)-(c), [Comment: This
change clarifies that a permit is not issued until after DCD and other local agencies have
had a chance to comment. DCD must perform that review within 30 days. Other local
agencies will be given a similar period of time in which to respond voluntarily.] the health
officer shall issue a solid waste collection and transportation permit to the applicant unless any
of the following grounds for denial exists:
(1) The director of the department of conservation and development or a local public
agency identified in Section 418-2.010(c) advises the health officer that another person has an
exclusive right or privilege to collect and transport the same all of the types of solid waste
described in Section 418-2.010(a)(45) from within the same territory described in Section 418-
2.010(a)(7). [Comment: During negotiations with the Joint Haulers following the Board’s
September 26 meeting, there was preliminary agreement to change the phrase “the same
type of solid waste described in . . . ” to “one or more of the types of solid waste described
in . . . ” This change was erroneous, in that it would have compelled denial of issuance of a
permit if one of the Joint Haulers collected just one of the types of waste that an applicant
proposed to collected in franchise territory. The revised language clarifies the intended
process, which is to deny issuance of a permit under this subsection if the applicant
proposes to collect only waste types collected by a franchised waste hauler in only the
franchise territory. A revision to Section 418-2.016(a)(6), below, provides additional
clarification.]
(2) The application is incomplete or inaccurate.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 49
(3) A permit issued to the applicant under this Ssection has been revoked within 12
months prior to the date of the application.
(4) The applicant has failed to pay an outstanding fine.
(5) The health officer determines that a vehicle proposed to be used in the collection and
transport of solid waste under the permit does not conform to the minimum standards set forth in
Section 418-2.012(b).
(b) The health officer shall provide written notice to the applicant of any denial of a permit
under this chapter and the reasons for the denial. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42,
1443.)
418-2.016 Terms and Conditions.
(a) Terms. A permit issued under this chapter will include a requirement for
[Comment: The word “requirement” is not appropriate here. The permit will state, not
require, the terms that follow.] all of the following:
(1) Identification of the permittee as described in Section 418-2010(a)(1). [Comment:
In lieu of the citation to Section 418-2.010(a)(1), which refers to the name of the applicant, a
change was made to Section 418-2.014(a) to clarify that the applicant will be the permittee.]
(2) Identification of all equipment, including vehicles, [Comment: Non-vehicular
equipment cannot be identified by license plate or VIN, and it is not clear how they could
be specifically identified. The Joint Haulers did not provide a reason why they desire this
provision to apply to other equipment, or what they meant by the term equipment. The
matter was not raised before the Internal Operations Committee. See also comment on
Section 418-2.010(a)(2).)] by license plate and VIN vehicle identification numbers, that may
be used under the permit as described in Section 418-2010(a)(2). [Comment: Staff deleted
the reference to Section 418-2.010 because it is erroneous. That section describes
preliminary information about the operations that the applicant seeks to conduct under the
permit. The operation actually allowed under a permit – including the list of authorized
vehicles -- may be more restrictive than the operation described in the application.
Permittee shall have signage or placarding on any container utilized in the collection and
transportation of solid waste, stating the permittee’s name, contact information and permit
number, clearly and legibly marked on the container. [Comment: Although staff finds the
state regulations to be adequate with regard to container markings, staff is willing to
consider including a container marking requirement in this ordinance. However, staff does
not agree to this language, or its placement here, since this requirement would more
properly be considered a permit condition than a term. See Section 418-2.016(b)(7) for a
revised requirement.]
(3) Identification of all individuals who may operate the vehicles described in
Section 418-2.016(a)(42) under the permit.
(4) Identification of all types of solid waste that may be collected and transported as
described in Section 418-2010(a)(5) [Comment: Staff deleted the reference to Section 418-
2.010 because it is erroneous. That section describes preliminary information about the
operations that the applicant seeks to conduct under the permit. The description of
authorized waste types under the permit may be more restrictive than the waste types
proposed in the application, particularly if the applicant proposes to operate in an area
where a franchised waste hauler operates.]under the permit and, if applicable, the specific
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 50
services that must be provided to customers in connection with the collection of specified
types of solid waste.
(5) Identification of all types of locations where specified types of solid waste may be
collected under the permit as described in Section 418-2010(a)(6). [Comment: Staff deleted
the reference to Section 418-2.010 because it is erroneous. That section describes
preliminary information about the operations that the applicant seeks to conduct under the
permit. The description of authorized locations where solid waste may be collected under
the permit may be more restrictive than the waste types proposed in the application,
particularly if the applicant proposes to operate in an area where a franchised waste hauler
operates.]
(6) Identification of the specific territory within which the permittee may collect
specified types of solid waste under the permit as described in Section 418-2010(a)(7).
[Comment: Staff deleted the reference to Section 418-2.010 because it is erroneous. That
section describes preliminary information about the operations that the applicant seeks to
conduct under the permit. The description of the territory where solid waste may be
collected under the permit may be more restrictive than the territory proposed in the
application, particularly if the applicant proposes to operate in an area where a franchised
waste hauler operates.] If another person has an exclusive privilege or right under a valid
franchise agreement to collect a specified type of solid waste identified by the permit, the
territory within which the specified type of solid waste may be collected will not include
any portion of the franchise territory. [Comment: Staff added this sentence to clarify that
a permit will not authorize waste hauling activities that infringe upon the rights of a
franchised waste hauler. If an applicant proposes to collect the same type of waste as a
franchised waste hauler in territory that overlaps the franchise area, the territory proposed
by an applicant would need to be reduced to exclude the franchise areas.]
(7) Effective and expiration dates of the permit.
(8) Permittee to carry proof of insurance in any hauling vehicle as required by
Section 418-2.018(b). [Comment: Staff deleted the above language because it is misplaced.
The permit conditions subsection is the better place to include a requirement to carry proof
of liability insurance. A new provision has been included below (see Section 418-
2.016(b)(6).]
(b) Conditions. The following requirements are conditions of operation under a permit
issued under this chapter:
(1) The permittee must comply with all Aapplicable laws and regulations. [Comment:
See comment on the proposed definition of “Applicable laws and regulations” in Section
418-2.002.]
(2) A copy of the permit must be kept in each motorized vehicle [Comment: It is not
practical to store paperwork in vehicles that are not motorized, such as trailers.] used for
solid waste collection and transportation under the permit and produced immediately in response
to a demand of the health officer or any peace officer.
(c) All solid waste must be transported only to:
(1) A solid waste facility that is lawfully operated under all required state and local
permits, registrations and enforcement agency notifications; or
(2) A recycling facility that, as its principal function, receives wastes that have
already been separated for reuse and are not intended for disposal, and is lawfully
operated in accordance with all Applicable laws and regulations. [Comment: The deleted
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 51
language above no longer belongs in the permit conditions section. In negotiations, staff
and the Joint Haulers agreed to move this requirement into the prohibitions section below
(Section 418-2.024), so that it would apply to all persons subject to the permit requirement
and not just permittees.]
(3) Each motorized vehicle used for solid waste collection or transportation under the
permit must prominently display, on both sides and the rear of the vehicle, a permit decal issued
by the health officer. [Comment: Decals on trailers are not necessary for enforcement
purposes, because they will need to be pulled by motorized vehicles that will need to display
decals. The Internal Operations Committee did not direct a decal requirement for trailers
to be included in the ordinance.]
(4) Each motorized vehicle used for solid waste collection or transportation under the
permit must be marked with the name and telephone number of the permittee. Markings must be
in sharp contrast to the background and of such size as to be readily visible during daylight hours
from a distance of 50 feet. Markings must be applied to each sidewall of a motorized vehicle.
[Comment: There is a separate marking requirement applicable to trailers and containers.
See Section 418-2.016(b)(7).]
(5) Each vehicle used for solid waste collection or transportation under the permit must
be regularly cleaned and maintained to prevent the creation of a nuisance.
(6) In each vehicle described in Section 418-2.016(b)(2), the permittee shall carry
proof of liability insurance coverage in the amounts set forth in Section 418-2.018(b).
[Comment: Provision added here in lieu of Joint Haulers’ proposed 418-2.016(a)(8).]
(7) Each container of one cubic yard or more that is used by the permittee and used
in the course of operations under the permit must be marked with the name and telephone
number of the permittee. All containers must be maintained in a clean and sound
condition. For the purposes of this subsection, containers include trailers but do not
include motorized vehicles. [Comment: Staff drafted this new container marking
requirement to replace language proposed by the Joint Haulers in Section 418-2.016(a)(2).
Staff is amenable to a container marking requirement that is consistent with state
regulations.]
(8) The permittee must maintain, on a rolling basis, original records showing, for the
immediately preceding 12 months, the type and weight of all solid waste collected, the location
where each load of solid waste was collected, and the disposal site or other final destination of
each load collected. Copies of these records must be submitted to the health officer upon
request.
(9) The permittee must submit quarterly reports to the health officer showing the type
and weight of solid waste collected, the location where solid waste was collected, and the
disposal site or other final destination of, and solid waste or recycling facility receipt number
for, each load collected.
(Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.018 Bond and Iinsurance Rrequirements.
(a) A permittee must file with the county and maintain until permit expiration a performance
bond or equivalent security of the type and in the amount set by the board by resolution.
(b) A permittee must have and maintain until permit expiration liability insurance
coverage with limits of no less than $1 million per claim and $1 million in the aggregate.
[Comment: Previous language proposed by the Joint Haulers and presented to the Board,
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 52
which would have required a permitee to provide evidence of insurance coverage and carry
it in hauling vehicles, would have conflicted with the Joint Haulers’ more recent suggestion
to require that information to be provided at the time of application, as well as with staff’s
recommendation that proof of insurance be provided before a permit is issued but not at
the time of application. The revision above would impose a requirement for a permittee to
be covered by liability insurance for the entire term of a permit. Other proposed revisions
will require evidence of that coverage to be provided prior to permit issuance and carried
in hauling vehicles.] (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.020 Permit expiration and renewal.
(a) A permit issued under this chapter remains valid until the permit expires or is revoked
under Section 418-2.022.
(b) A permit expires on the last day of December unless it is renewed prior to expiration. A
permittee may apply for renewal of the permit by submitting an application that conforms to the
requirements set forth in Section 418-2.010 and payment of a permit fee established by the board
by resolution. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.022 Revocation.
(a) Grounds. A permit issued under Section 418-2.014 may be revoked by the health officer
in accordance with the procedure set forth in this section if the health officer determines that:
(1) The permittee has failed to comply with a term or condition of operation under the
permit following written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the violation;
[Comment: The Joint Haulers added the language above after it had already been deleted
by staff. It is not known why the Joint Haulers reinserted it. Staff has determined this
requirement to be unnecessary.]
(2) If tThe permittee’s conduct under the permit constitutes a nuisance; or
(3) During the permit period, the permittee collected and transported solid waste in
territory where another person had a concurrent [Comment: The Joint Haulers’ 10/16/17
proposed revisions deleted the word “concurrent.” Staff has reinserted the word because it
is necessary in this context. The exclusive right or privilege must exist at the same time as
the collection and transport of solid waste in the described territory in order to create
cause for revocation.] exclusive right or privilege under a valid franchise agreement to
collect and transport that solid waste. In evaluating the evidentiary basis for a revocation
under this subsection, the health officer and, in the event of a hearing, the fact-finder, will
do both of the following:
(A) Determine the nature and extent of exclusive rights and privileges under a
franchise agreement based on the terms of the agreement, the franchisor’s written
interpretation of the agreement, if submitted, and any other relevant evidence; and
(B) Give great weight to the franchisor’s written interpretation of its franchise
agreement and/or evidence of a franchisor’s written interpretation of its franchise
agreement and/or a final written administrative or judicial determination in which the
permittee was found to have collected and transported solid waste in territory where
another person had an exclusive right or privilege under a valid franchise agreement to
collect and transport that solid waste. performed the act upon which the revocation is
based. [Comment: Subsections (3)(A)-(B) were drafted in response to the Board’s
direction, after the Joint Haulers expressed the desire that a permittee’s wrongful conduct
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 53
under a permit not be “relitigated” if it had already been the subject of other official
action. Evidence needed to support a revocation under Subsection (3) will include evidence
of the franchise agreement’s terms and evidence of the permittee’s conduct. Subsection
(3)(A) was drafted to specifically focus on the franchise agreement’s terms. Subsection (B)
addresses the permitee’s conduct. The Joint Haulers’ proposed changes to subsection
(3)(B) are misplaced and confusing.]
(b) Notice. The health officer will provide written notice of intent to revoke a permit to the
permittee at the address provided on the permittee’s application. The notice will state all
applicable grounds for the revocation and the permittee’s right to a hearing under this section.
(c) Hearing. Within 15 days after the date of the notice of intent to revoke, the permittee
may request a hearing before the director of environmental health by completing and
submitting a written hearing request form and paying a fee established by the board by
resolution. The hearing will be held no sooner than 20 days and no later than 45 days following
the date of the written request for hearing.
(d) Effective date. If no hearing is timely requested, the revocation is effective 15 days after
the date of the notice of intent to revoke. If a hearing is held, a revocation order issued by the
health officer will be effective when the time to appeal under Chapter 14-4 expires, unless an
appeal to the board is timely filed under Chapter 14-4. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42,
1443.)
418-2.024 Prohibitions.
(a) No person shall engage the service of a person for compensation to collect solid waste
from any location in the unincorporated area and transport it over a public street or highway in
the unincorporated area unless the person whose service is engaged has obtained and operates in
compliance with a permit issued under this chapter or is exempt from the permit requirement
under this chapter.
(b) No person subject to the permit requirement in this chapter shall transport solid
waste to any location other than:
(1) A solid waste facility that is lawfully operated under all required state and local
permits, registrations and enforcement agency notifications; or
(2) A recycling facility that, as its principal function, receives wastes that have
already been separated for recycling and are not intended for disposal, and is lawfully
operated in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26,
88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
418-2.026 Investigations.
Whenever it is necessary to inspect a vehicle or other property to enforce the provisions of
this chapter, or whenever the health officer has cause to believe that there exists on any property
any violation of this chapter, the health officer may enter the property to inspect and gather
evidence or perform the duties imposed on the health officer by this chapter. Entry may be made
at any reasonable time upon advance notice to the owner or occupant of the property. If entry is
refused, the health officer is authorized to proceed pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section
1822.50 and following, as may be amended from time to time, and any and all other remedies
provided by law to secure entry. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)

418-2.028 Construction.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed in a manner that conflicts with Vehicle Code
section 21100, subdivision (b), as may be amended from time to time. (Ords. 2017-16 § 3, 91-
26, 88-49, 82-42, 1443.)
SECTION IV. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance becomes effective 30 days after
passage, and within 15 days after passage shall be published in the East Bay Times, a newspaper
published in this County. This ordinance shall be published in a manner satisfying the
requirements of Government Code section 25124, with the names of the supervisors voting for
and against it.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The applicant has paid the necessary application deposit, and is obligated to pay supplemental fees to cover all

BACKGROUND:
Project Summary
This hearing is to consider the General Plan Amendment (County File #GP15-0002), Rezoning (County File
#RZ16-3231), and Final Development Plan (County File #DP16-3018) elements of the proposed five-lot
subdivision project. On October 25, 2017, the County Planning Commission heard the project and approved the
proposed Major Subdivision (County File #SD16-9432) and Tree Permit application. The County Planning
Commission provided recommendations of approval for County Files # GP15-0002, #RZ16-3231, and
#DP16-3018 that require Board approval.
Timeline:
Board of Supervisors authorized the General Plan Amendment Study Request on December 8, 2015.
Applications for a rezoning, subdivision, and development plan were filed with the Department of
Conservation and Development for a proposal for a Rezoning, Subdivision, and Development Plan to allow
a six-lot subdivision with two common parcels on March 28, 2016.
The project was initially heard at the September 27, 2017, County Planning Commission hearing; however,
it was continued to allow the applicant to revise the project to address the concerns indicated at the hearing.
The revised project for a five-lot subdivision was approved at the October 25, 2017, County Planning
Commission hearing and the Commission recommended approval for the other elements of the project.
Original Proposal Considered by the County Planning Commission
The applicant originally requested a General Plan Amendment to change the designation of the subject property
from Single-Family Residential-Medium Density (SM) to Single-Family Residential-High Density (SH) and to
rezone the subject property from Single-Family Residential (R-10) to a Planned Unit District (P-1). The request
also included approval of a Vesting Tentative Map to subdivide an approximately 0.96-acre property into six
single-family residential lots (ranging in area from 3,196 - 9,660 square feet), and two common parcels, Parcel A
(6,348 square feet) for a private road and Parcel B (1,348 square feet) for six guest parking spaces, and a request
to approve a Final Development Plan for the project.
The original project proposal was to allow the construction of six, two-story residences (ranging in size from
1,677 – 2,419 square feet of living area). Three floor plans were proposed for the residential development, which
included 4-5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and two car garage. The guest parking area (Parcel B) was proposed
between Lots 5 and 6, and would have provided six 8' x 17' parking spaces. The original proposal also included
removal of 13 code-protected trees from the property, and work within the drip line of 18 trees.
Other aspects of the original proposal have not changed. The existing residence is proposed to be demolished
Two, 24-foot wide driveways would provide access to the property from Olympic Boulevard. The driveways
connects in a horseshoe shape for the 20-foot wide private road (Parcel A), which will be parallel to Olympic
Boulevard. There are no sidewalk improvements on the property and in order to comply with the County’s
Subdivision Ordinance, installation of a sidewalk along the entire frontage would be required. The applicant has
proposed a meandering sidewalk that extends beyond the existing street-right-of-way in order to preserve mature
trees along the frontage of the property. Grading on-site involves movement of approximately 510 cubic yards of
dirt. A variance is being sought to allow the rezoning of a 0.96-acre property to P-1 (where five acres is the
minimum) and an exception to the creek structure setback requirements of the County Subdivision Ordinance are
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 70
also included in the project.
County Planning Commission Hearings
The County Planning Commission heard the project at the September 27, 2017, meeting. The Commission opened
the public hearing and received testimony from the applicant, property owners, and seven speakers. The seven
speakers included six neighboring property owners and the attorney representing the neighbors. The concerns
received related to the density of the project, impacts to the creek, impacts as a result of tree removal, and privacy.
The Commission also provided comments at the hearing indicating that the project was too dense, did not include
driveways that could accommodate parking, lacked compatibility with the neighborhood, and expressed concerns
with the number of trees to be removed. The Commission recommended that the applicant return to the
Commission with a revised project.
On October 5, 2017, the applicant submitted a revised project a five lots, including a total of 12 guest parking
spaces, removal of 11 trees, and work within the drip line of 20 trees. After receiving testimony and considering
the revised project, the Commission approved the project at the October 25, 2017, meeting. No appeals were
received for the subdivision approval of the project.
Revised Project Components
The revisions to the project as approved by the County Planning Commission on October 25, 2017, primarily
include the reduction of single-family residential lots from six, to five, ranging in area from 4,727 - 9,660 square
feet. The size of the interior lots (Lots 2, 3, and 4) increased as part of this revision. The two common parcels
would remain, with Parcel A being approximately 6,348 square feet for the driveway and Parcel B increasing to
1,516 square feet to accommodate for seven guest parking spaces. Instead of three floor plans, four floor plans are
proposed for the revised residential development. Below are the details for Plans One, Two, Three, and Four.

Revised Project Components
The proposed residences would remain two stories and would have two car garages. The proposed residences
would be traditional in design, with stucco siding and concrete tile roof.
The guest parking area (Parcel B) would be between Lots 4 and 5 and would provide seven 8' x 17' parking spaces.
Two additional 8' x 18' parking spaces will be located between Lots 3 and 4, and three additional 8' x 22' parking
spaces would be located along Parcel A between the meandering sidewalk. Thus, a total of 12 guest parking
spaces is proposed to provide parking on the subject property The project is not required to provide guest parking
spaces; however, given the limitations and inability to accommodate street parking on Olympic Boulevard, the
applicant has included guest parking for the project. The number of trees proposed for removal decreased to 11
code-protected trees, but the impact to trees increased to 20 trees. The horseshoe shape private road would remain
as access to and from the property from Olympic Boulevard.
Consistency with the General Plan and Zoning
General Plan Consistency: The current General Plan land use designation for the subject property is
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 71
Single-Family Residential-Medium Density (SM). The project involves an amendment to the General Plan
designation from SM to Single-Family Residential-High Density (SH). Per the SH designation, a density range of
5.0 to 7.2 single-family units per net acre is allowed. The subject property is 0.96 acres (gross) and 0.79 acres
(net). Based on the net acreage, a maximum of five units would be allowed, as the density of the proposed project
would be 6.32 units per net acre . The proposed subdivision would be within the density allowed for the property.
Furthermore, the project involves the development of the property with single-family residences, which is
consistent with the uses allowed in SH.
The subject property is located within the Urban Limit Line (ULL) and is consistent with the following policy:
Policy 3-8: Infilling of already developed areas shall be encouraged. In accommodating new development,
preference shall generally be given to vacant or under-used sites within urbanized area, which have the
necessary utilities installed with available remaining capacity, before undeveloped suburban lands are
utilized.
Although an existing residence is located on the subject property, most of the property has remained undeveloped
over the past decade. Due to the location of the property being immediately adjacent to a commercial cluster and a
high-volume arterial such as Olympic Boulevard, a higher-density project would be appropriate for the subject
property. The project is an infill project in an already-developed area sandwiched between commercial uses and
residential uses. The project would be a good transition from commercial properties at the intersection to the
less-dense single-family residential development located north and west of the property.
The following Transportation Policies of the County’s Transportation Element also support the project.
Policy 5-13: The use of pedestrian and bicycle facilities shall be encouraged. Property facilities shall be
designed to accommodate bikes, pedestrians, and transit.
Policy 5-24: Use of alternative forms of transportation, such as transit, bike, and pedestrian modes, shall
be encouraged to provide basic accessibility to those without access to a personal automobile and help
minimize automobile congestion and air pollution.
According to Figure 5-3 of the Transportation and Circulation Element, the subject property is located within a
Transit Network Plan and within Local Transit Service Area. The County plans to implement bicycle and
pedestrian improvements along Olympic Boulevard, as identified in the Olympic Corridor Trail Connector Study,
near the subject property. Frontage improvements to the subject property along Olympic Boulevard are required to
conform to the standards identified in the study. Alternative modes of transportation are within close proximity to
the property and are accessible for the development. As proposed, the project is consistent with the County’s
General Plan, especially the goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by establishing housing within an area that
provides multi-modal access.
The project is also consistent with the following Housing Goal and Policy of the County’s Housing Element.
Goal 6: Provide adequate sites through appropriate land use and zoning designations to accommodate the
County’s share of regional housing needs.
Policy 7.3 : Encourage P-1 zoning in areas with concentrations of applicants seeking variances.
The subject property is located within the Saranap area of the County. This area is an established neighborhood.
This lot is under-utilized and the subdivision is an infill project, which would be appropriate for the location. A
similiar variance to rezone a property with less than the five acres required for residential uses in a P-1 Zoning
District was approved in 2015 for a 1.12-acre property located south of the subject property off Tice Valley
Boulevard (Westborough Condominium). The proposed project complies with the SH General Plan land use
designation and applicable General Plan policies.
Zoning Compliance: The subject property is located within the Single-Family Residential (R-10) Zoning District.
The project involves a rezoning of the property from R-10 to a Planned Unit District (P-1). There are no minimum
lot sizes, height, or setback requirements in the P-1 Zoning District. However, in approving a Planned Unit
District, a development must sustain desirability and stability, and be in harmony with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 72
The proposed project is consistent with the neighborhood. The area consists of residential uses that includes
one-story and two-story homes. Use of the property for residential buildings is a permitted use that also maintains
consistency with the established area, which includes a variety of uses such as single-family residences, duplexes,
retail businesses and commercial uses. The proposed project is located on a property that is a good transition from
commercials properties at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Tice Valley Boulevard/Boulevard Way to a
less-dense single-family residential development located to the north and west of the subject property.
Furthermore, the project will provide additional housing to the area.
Conclusion
The project is consistent with applicable goals and policies of the General Plan, and also with the intent of the
proposed P-1 district. Therefore, staff recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the General Plan
Amendment, Rezoning, Final Development Plan and related actions, as recommended by the County Planning
Commission.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
In the event that the proposed project is not approved, the applicant will not obtain approval of the required
General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Development Plan entitlements needed to allow the proposed Olympic
Boulevard five-lot project.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The project to allow the General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Development Plan entitlements for the subject
property is consistent with the following outcome established in the Children’s Report Card: 5 - Communities are
safe and provide a high quality of life for children and families.

Resolution No. 2017/425
IN THE MATTER OF Approving a General Plan Amendment (County File GP #15-0002) for the Olympic Boulevard Five-Lot
Major Subdivision Project
WHEREAS, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on December 5, 2017, to consider the Olympic
Boulevard Five-Lot Major Subdivision Project, proposed for the unincorporated Walnut Creek area. The Project includes
adoption of a mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring reporting plan prepared for the Project, a General Plan
Amendment (County File #GP15-0002), a rezoning ordinance and variance (County File #RZ16-3231), and a preliminary and
final development plan (County File #DP16-3018).
WHEREAS, the General Plan Amendment for the Project reclassifies land from Single-Family Residential – Medium Density
(SM) to Single-Family Residential — High Density (SH).
WHEREAS, a resolution is required under Government Code Section 65356 to amend a general plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors resolves as follows:
1. The Board of Supervisors makes the following General Plan Amendment findings:
a. The subject site is located inside the County’s Urban Limit Line (ULL), and therefore may be developed with “urban” or
“non-urban” uses, as defined in the County General Plan. The proposed land use designation, Single-Family Residential
High-Density (SH), is urban. Furthermore, the project does not involve extension of urban services beyond the ULL
boundary.
b. Adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA) A will not conflict with the 65/35 Land Preservation
Standard (the “65/35 Standard”), approved by County voters through adoption of Measure C-1990 and reaffirmed through
adoption of Measure L-2006. Under the 65/35 Standard, no more than 35 percent of the land in the County may be
developed with urban uses and at least 65 percent of the land must be preserved for non-urban uses such as agriculture,
open space, parks, wetlands, etc. The existing land use designation for the subject site, Single-Family Residential
Medium-Density (SM), is an urban land use designation. The site contains no non-urban land use designations. As the
proposed SH land use designation is also an urban designation, there will be no change in the percentage of land devoted to
urban and non-urban uses.
c. The project complies with the objectives and requirements of Measure C-1988 and Measure J-2004, the Contra Costa
Growth Management Program and related Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) resolutions. Adoption of the
proposed GPA would increase the subject site’s maximum development potential from four single-family residential units
to six single-family residential units. The two-unit increase is well below the Measure J threshold for studying the proposed
GPA’s potential impacts on Routes of Regional Significance.
d. The General Plan comprises an integrated, internally consistent, and compatible statement of policies for the County.
The proposed GPA involves a slight increase in density at the subject site, but does not change the allowed uses or impact
development in any other way. Adoption of the proposed GPA will not cause the General Plan to become internally
inconsistent.
e. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65358(a), the General Plan may be amended if such amendment is deemed to be
4
1
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 75
“in the public interest.” The 2005-2020 Contra Costa County General Plan contains policies related to providing an
adequate supply of housing and encouraging infill development on under-utilized sites within urbanized areas where
necessary utilities already are installed. It is in the public interest to adopt the proposed GPA because the project as a
whole furthers these policies.
f. The General Plan Amendment will provide additional housing for the unincorporated Walnut Creek area, and will be
consistent with the overall goals and policies described in the General Plan.
2. The Board of Supervisors hereby ADOPTS the General Plan Amendment (County File GP#15-0002) to reclassify the Land
Use Designation of the subject property from Single-Family Residential-Medium Density (SM) to Single-Family
Residential-High Density (SH), and ADOPTS the General Plan Amendment, County File GP#15-0002, as the second General
Plan amendment for calendar year 2017, as permitted by State Planning Law.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
DESIGNATE the Martinez Detention Facility as a mental health treatment facility pursuant the Penal Code section
1369.1 for the purpose of administering psychotropic medications to individuals in county custody who have been
adjudged incompetent to stand trial due to a mental disorder, refuse to take psychotropic medications and are unable
to provide informed consent.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This item will not create any additional financial burden. Costs for necessary medications for inmates at the Martinez
Detention Facility are allocated annually in the Health Services - Detention budget (Dept. 0301).
BACKGROUND:
When the court finds a defendant incompetent to stand trial due to a mental disorder, the defendant cannot be tried or
convicted. Accordingly, the court must suspend the trial or judgment until the defendant regains competence. The
court must order a mental evaluation of the defendant, and must also order that the defendant be confined to an
available public or private treatment facility that will promote the defendant's speedy restoration to competency, be
placed on outpatient status or, if the defendant is charged with a felony, be confined to a state hospital for
competency training. Additionally, the court must determine whether the defendant, with advice of counsel, consents
to the administration of psychotropic medication. If the defendant does not consent, the court must conduct a

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
hearing and, if appropriate, may authorize the treatment facility to involuntarily administer antipsychotic
medication to the defendant when and as prescribed by the defendant's treating psychiatrist. The County provides
competency training for defendants accused of a misdemeanor. The State is responsible for providing
competency training to accused felons. These defendants must wait in the county jail until they are transferred to
the state hospital or other available treatment program. Under the Penal Code, the court may order the Sheriff to
deliver felony defendants found incompetent to stand trial to the state hospital. However, due to the state hospital’s
bed shortage, defendants may remain in jail for an extended period of time. Most defendants voluntarily take their
psychotropic medications but some refuse, and they have that right, despite the fact that their need for medication
as well as the court order to administer medication were addressed as part of the court process. Individuals who
have been restored to competence are returned to county jail to await trial. Upon their return to county jail, they
can again refuse medication, leading to decompensation. This sometimes results in a return to their incompetence
to stand trial, thus repeating the cycle.
The California Penal Code was amended in 2007 (SB 568), adding section 1369.1, attached, to enable counties to
designate county jails as treatment facilities for the purpose of administering antipsychotic medication to
defendants that have been found incompetent to stand trial due to a mental disorder and are unable to provide
informed consent to medication. Prior to the 2007 amendment, it was not clear that antipsychotic medication could
be administered to these defendants involuntarily in the county jail, even pursuant to a court order, because the
law specified that these individuals were to be committed for competency restoration to the state hospital or to any
other available public or private treatment facility, or placed on outpatient status. Without the necessary
medication, numerous defendants waiting to transfer out of the county jail were not making progress toward
competency.
The 2007 amendment clarified that upon the concurrence of the county board of supervisors, the county mental
health director, and the county sheriff, a county jail may be designated as a treatment facility under the law for
the sole purpose of administering antipsychotic medication, pursuant to a court order, to defendants adjudged
incompetent to stand trial. The law limits treatment in these facilities to a maximum of six months.
The Sheriff and the Director of the Health Services Department make this joint recommendation to the board of
supervisors because it is a humanitarian, practical resolution to a dilemma that prevented individuals with serious
mental disorders from receiving appropriate medication while in jail. Without medication, symptoms such as
increased aggression, self-destructive acts, and severe behavioral outbursts can jeopardize the safety of the
inmate-patient, the other inmates, and the detention facility staff.
The Health Services Department and the Office of the Sheriff remain committed to transferring individuals to
treatment facilities in a timely manner. These facilities, however, are crowded and have long waiting lists. The
recommended action can help the county cope with the effect of delays beyond the county’s control.
Board approval of the recommended action will ensure that psychotropic medications are administered, as
necessary, to misdemeanor defendants and to felony defendants awaiting transfer to the state hospital. Should the
Board concur with this recommendation, the Health Services Department and the Office of the Sheriff, in
consultation with the County Counsel’s Office, will develop policies and procedures for the involuntary
administration of psychotropic medication, pursuant to statute.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board decline to approve the recommendation, the status quo will be maintained. In-custody
defendants adjudged incompetent to stand trial may continue to refuse court-ordered psychotropic medication,
which can hinder speedy restoration to competency.

PENAL CODE
Section 1369.1
1369.1. (a) As used in this chapter, “treatment facility” includes a county jail. Upon
the concurrence of the county board of supervisors, the county mental health director,
and the county sheriff, the jail may be designated to provide medically approved
medication to defendants found to be mentally incompetent and unable to provide
informed consent due to a mental disorder, pursuant to this chapter. In the case of
Madera, Napa, and Santa Clara Counties, the concurrence shall be with the board of
supervisors, the county mental health director, and the county sheriff or the chief of
corrections. The provisions of Sections 1370, 1370.01, and 1370.02 shall apply to
antipsychotic medications provided in a county jail, provided, however, that the
maximum period of time a defendant may be treated in a treatment facility pursuant
to this section shall not exceed six months.
(b) This section does not abrogate or limit any law enacted to ensure the due process
rights set forth in Sell v. United States (2003) 539 U.S. 166.

SECTION 1 – RECOGNITION
1.1 Association Recognition. The Association is the formally recognized
employee organization for the Fire Management Unit and such organization has
been certified as such pursuant to Chapter 34-12 of Board of Supervisors’
Resolution 81/1165 by Board Order dated December 1, 1998. Represented
classes in this unit are:
Battalion Chief (RPHA, RPHE), and
Chief, Fire Emergency Medical Services (RPHD)
1.2 Name. The United Chief Officers Association of the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District shall at times be referred to herein as “Association”.
SECTION 2 - ASSOCIATION SECURITY
2.1 Dues Deduction. Pursuant to Resolution 81/1165 Chapter 34-26 only a
majority representative may have dues deduction and as such the Association
has the exclusive privilege of dues deduction for all members in its unit.
Dues deduction shall be based on the voluntary written authorization of the
employee which shall remain in effect so long as the employee remains in a unit
represented by the Association unless such authorization is canceled in writing
by the employee in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.4 –
Withdrawal of Membership. The dues deduction shall be for a specified amount
and uniform between members of the Association. The Association shall
indemnify, defend, and hold the District harmless against any claims made and
against any suit instituted against the District on account of dues deduction. The
Association shall refund to the District any amounts paid to it in error upon the
presentation of supporting evidence.
2.2 Association Dues Form. Employees hired in classifications assigned to
the unit represented by the Association shall, as a condition of employment at the
time of employment, complete an Association dues authorization card provided
by the Association and shall have deducted from their paychecks the
membership dues of the Association. Said employees shall have thirty (30) days
from the date of hire to decide if they do not want to become a member of the
Association.
Such decision not to become a member of the Association must be made in
writing to the Auditor-Controller with a copy to the Labor Relations Service Unit
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 277
within said thirty (30) day period. If the employee decides not to become a
member of the Association, any Association dues previously deducted from the
employee's paycheck during that thirty (30) day period shall be returned to the
employee and said amount shall be deducted from the next dues deduction
check sent to the Association. If the employee does not notify the County in
writing of the decision not to become a member within the thirty (30) day period,
the employee shall be deemed to have voluntarily agreed to pay the dues of the
Association. Each such dues authorization form referenced above shall include
a statement that the Association and the District have entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding, that the employee is required to authorize
payroll deductions of Association dues as a condition of employment, and that
such authorization may be revoked within the first thirty (30) days of employment
upon proper written notice by the employee within said thirty (30) day period as
set forth above. Each such employee shall, upon written completion of the
authorization form, receive a copy of said authorization form which shall be
deemed proper notice of the employee's right to revoke said authorization.
2.3 Maintenance of Membership. All employees in the unit represented by
the Association who are currently paying dues to the Association and all
employees in such units who hereafter become members of the Association
shall, as a condition of continued employment, pay dues to the Association for
the duration of this Memorandum of Understanding and each year thereafter so
long as the Association continues to represent the position to which the
employee is assigned, unless the employee has exercised the option to cease
paying dues in accordance with Section 2.4.
2.4 Withdrawal of Membership. By notifying the Auditor-Controller's
Department in writing, between May 1 to May 31 of any year, any employee may
withdraw from Association membership and discontinue paying dues as of the
payroll period commencing June 1st, and reflected in the July 10th paycheck.
Immediately upon the close of the above-mentioned thirty (30) day period, the
Auditor-Controller shall submit to the Association a list of the employees who
have rescinded their authorization for dues deduction.
2.5 Communicating With Employees. The Association shall be allowed to
use designated portions of bulletin boards or display areas in public portions of
District buildings or in public portions of offices in which there are employees
represented by the Association, provided the communications displayed have to
do with official organization business such as times and places of meetings and
further provided that the Association appropriately posts and removes the
information. The Fire Chief reserves the right to remove objectionable materials.
Representatives of the Association, not on District time, shall be permitted to
place a supply of employee literature at specific locations in District buildings if
arranged through the Employee Relations Officer; said representatives may
distribute employee organization literature in areas designated by the Fire Chief if
the nature of the literature and the proposed method of distribution are
compatible with the work environment and work in progress. Such placement
and/or distribution shall not be performed by on-duty employees.

B. to arrange for use of a meeting room;
C. to leave and/or distribute a supply of literature as indicated above;
D. to represent an employee on a grievance, and/or to contact an Association
officer on a matter within the scope or representation.
In the application of this provision, it is agreed and understood that in each such
instance advance arrangements, including disclosure of which of the above
purposes is the reason for the visit, will be made with the Fire Chief or
designee(s) and the visit will not interfere with the District services.
2.6 Use of District Buildings. The Association shall be allowed the use of
areas normally used for meeting purposes for meetings of District employees
during non-work hours when:
A. such space is available and its use by the Association is scheduled
twenty-four (24) hours in advance;
B. there is no additional cost to the District;
C. it does not interfere with normal District operations;
D. employees in attendance are not on duty and are not scheduled for duty;
E. the meetings are on matters within the scope of representation.

meeting, and see that the space is left in a clean and orderly condition. The use
of District equipment (other than items normally used in the conduct of business
meetings, such as desks, chairs, and whiteboards) is strictly prohibited, even
though it may be present in the meeting area.
2.7 Advance Notice. The Association shall, except in cases of emergency,
have the right to reasonable notice of any ordinance, rule, resolution or regulation
directly relating to matters within the scope of representation proposed to be
adopted by the Board, or boards and commissions designated by the Board, and
to meet with the body considering the matter.
The listing of an item on a public agenda, or the mailing of a copy of a proposal
at least seventy-two (72) hours before the item will be heard, or the delivery of a
copy of the proposal at least twenty-four (24) hours before the item will be heard,
shall constitute notice.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 279
In cases of emergency when the Board, or boards and commissions designated
by the Board, determines it must act immediately without such notice or meeting
it shall give notice and opportunity to meet as soon as practical after its action.
2.8 List of Employees with Dues Deduction. The District shall provide the
Association with a monthly list of employees who are paying dues to the
Association and a monthly list of employees who are paying health and welfare
deductions to the Association.
2.9 Assignment of Classes to Bargaining Units. The Labor Relations
Manager shall assign new classes in accordance with the following procedure:
a. Initial Determination: When a new class title is established, the Labor
Relations Manager shall review the composition of existing representation
units to determine the appropriateness of including some or all of the
employees in the new class in one or more existing representation units,
and within a reasonable period of time shall notify all recognized employee
organizations of the determination.
b. Final Determination: The Labor Relations Manager’s determination is final
unless within ten (10) days after notification a recognized employee orga-
nization requests in writing to meet and confer thereon.
c. Meet and Confer and other Steps: The Labor Relations Manager shall
meet and confer with such requesting organizations (and with other
recognized employee organizations where appropriate) to seek agreement
on this matter within sixty (60) days after the ten-day period in subsection
(b), unless otherwise mutually agreed. Thereafter, the procedures in
cases of agreement and disagreement, arbitration referral and expenses,
and criteria for determination shall conform to those in Subsections (d)
through (i) of Section 34-12.008 of Resolution 81/1165.
2.10 Written Statement for New Employees. The District will provide a writ-
ten statement to each new employee hired into a classification in any of the
bargaining units represented by the Association, that the employee's
classification is represented by the Association and the name of a representative
of the Association. The County will provide the employee with a packet of
information, which has been supplied by the Association and approved by the
County.
SECTION 3 – DISCRIMINATION PROHIBITED
There shall be no discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin,
sex, sexual orientation or union activities against any employee or applicant for
employment by the County or by anyone employed by the County; and to the
extent prohibited by applicable State and Federal law there shall be no
discrimination because of age. There shall be no discrimination against any
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 280
disabled person solely because of such disability unless that disability prevents
the person from meeting the minimum standards established for that position or
from carrying out the duties of the position safely.
The District and the Association recognize that the District has an obligation in
accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to reasonably
accommodate disabled employees. If by reason of the aforesaid requirement the
District contemplates actions to provide reasonable accommodation to an
individual employee to comply with the ADA which are in conflict with any
provision of this MOU, the Association will be advised of such proposed
accommodation. Upon request, the District will meet and confer with the
Association on the impact of such accommodation. If the District and the
Association do not reach agreement, the District may implement the
accommodation without further negotiations.
Nothing in this MOU shall preclude the District from taking actions necessary to
comply with the requirements of the ADA or of any other State or Federal law
governing discrimination, wages or hours. Subject to this provision, the
Association may file a management complaint regarding any action by the
District under this Section alleged by the Association and the employee(s) as a
violation of the MOU.

with the Fire Chief and their attendance does not conflict with Fire District
emergency operations.
SECTION 5 - SALARIES
5.1 Wages.
The wages for all classifications will be as shown in Attachment A – Class and
Salary Listing.
A. Effective December 1, 2017, the base rate of pay for all
classifications represented by the Association will be increased by five
percent (5%).
B. Effective on July 1, 2018, the base rate of pay for all classifications
represented by the Association will be increased by four percent (4%).
5.2 Entrance Salary. New employees shall generally be appointed at the
minimum step of the salary range established for the particular class of position
to which the appointment is made. However, the appointing authority may fill a
particular position at a step above the minimum of the range.
5.3 Anniversary Dates. Anniversary dates will be set as follows:
A. New Employees. The anniversary date of a new employee is the first day
of the calendar month after the calendar month when the employee suc-
cessfully completes six (6) months service provided however, if an
employee began work on the first regularly scheduled workday of the
month the anniversary date is the first day of the calendar month when the
employee successfully completes six (6) months service.
B. Promotions. The anniversary date of a promoted employee is determined
as for a new employee in Subsection 5.3.A above.
C. Transfer, Reallocation and Reclassification. The anniversary date of an
employee who is transferred to another position or one whose position has
been reallocated or reclassified to a class allocated to the same salary
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 282
range or to a salary range which is within five percent (5%) of the top step
of the previous classification, remains unchanged.
D. Reemployments. The anniversary of an employee appointed from a
reemployment list to the first step of the applicable salary range and not
required to serve a probation period is determined in the same way as the
anniversary date is determined for a new employee who is appointed the
same date, classification and step and who then successfully completes
the required probationary period.
E. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Section 5, the anniversary of an
employee who is appointed to a classified position from outside the
County's merit system at a rate above the minimum salary for the
employee's new class, or who is transferred from another governmental
entity to this County's merit system, is one (1) year from the first day of the
calendar month after the calendar month when the employee was
appointed or transferred; provided however, when the appointment or
transfer is effective on the employee's first regularly scheduled work day of
that month, his/her anniversary is one (1) year after the first calendar day
of that month.
F. Performance Evaluation. A performance evaluation is required annually
on or about an employee’s anniversary date.
5.4 Increments Within Range. The performance of each employee, except
those of employees already at the maximum salary step of the appropriate salary
range, shall be reviewed on the anniversary date as set forth in Section 5.3 –
Anniversary Dates to determine whether the salary of the employee shall be
advanced to the next higher step in the salary range. Advancement shall be
granted on the affirmative recommendation of the appointing authority, based on
satisfactory performance by the employee. The appointing authority may
recommend denial of the increment or denial subject to one additional review at
some specified date before the next anniversary which must be set at the time
the original report is returned.
Except as herein provided, increments within range shall not be granted more
frequently than once a year, nor shall more than one (1) step within-range
increment be granted at one time. In case an appointing authority recommends
denial of the within range increment on some particular anniversary date, but
recommends a special salary review, the special salary review shall not affect the
regular salary review on the next anniversary date.
Nothing herein shall be construed to make the granting of increments mandatory
on the District. If the District verifies in writing that an administrative or clerical
error was made in failing to submit the documents needed to advance an
employee to the next salary step on the first of the month when eligible, said
advancement shall be made retroactive to the first of the month when eligible.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 283
5.5 Part-Time Compensation. A part-time employee shall be paid a monthly
salary in the same ratio to the full-time monthly rate to which the employee would
be entitled as a full-time employee under the provisions of this Section 5 as the
number of hours per week in the employee's part-time work schedule bears to
the number of hours in the full-time work schedule of the District.
5.6 Compensation for Portion of Month. Any employee who works less
than any full calendar month, except when on earned vacation, authorized sick
leave, or other authorized paid leave shall receive as compensation for services
an amount which is in the same ratio to the established monthly rate as the
number of days worked is to the actual working days in such employee's normal
work schedule for the particular month; but if the employment is intermittent,
compensation shall be on an hourly basis.
5.7 Position Reclassification. An employee who is an incumbent of a
position which is reclassified to a class which is allocated to the same range of
the basic salary schedule as is the class of the position before it was reclassified,
shall be paid at the same step of the range as the employee received under the
previous classification.
An incumbent of a position which is reclassified to a class which is allocated to a
lower range of the basic salary schedule shall continue to receive the same
salary as before the reclassification, but if such salary is greater than the
maximum of the range of the class to which the position has been reclassified,
the salary of the incumbent shall be reduced to a maximum salary for the new
classification. The salary of an incumbent of a position which is reclassified to a
class which is allocated to a range of the basic salary schedule greater than the
range of the class of the position before it was reclassified shall be governed by
the provisions of Section 5.9 Salary on Promotion.
5.8 Salary Reallocation and Salary on Reallocation.
A. In a general salary increase or decrease, an employee in a class which is
reallocated to a salary range above or below that to which it was
previously allocated, when the number of steps remain the same, shall be
compensated at the same step in the new salary range the employee was
receiving in the range to which the class was previously allocated. If the
reallocation is from one salary range with more steps to a range with fewer
steps or vice versa, the employee shall be compensated at the step on the
new range which is in the same percentage ratio to the top step of the new
range as was the salary received before reallocated to the top step of the
old range, but in no case shall any employee be compensated at less than
the first step of the range to which the class is allocated.
B. In the event that a classification is reallocated from a salary range with
more steps to a salary range with fewer steps on the salary schedule,
apart from the general salary increase or decrease described in Section
5.8.A above, each incumbent of a position in the reallocated class shall be
placed upon the step of the new range which equals the rate of pay
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 284
received before the reallocation. In the event that the steps in the new
range do not contain the same rates as the old range which is next above
the salary rate received in the old range, or if the new range does not
contain a higher step, at the step which is next lower than the salary
received in the old range.
C. In the event an employee is in a position which is reallocated to a different
class which is allocated to a salary range the same as above or below the
salary range of the employee's previous class, the incumbent shall be
placed at the step in the new class which equals the rate of pay received
before reallocation. In the event that the steps in the range for the new
class do not contain the same rates as the range for the old class, the
incumbent shall be placed at the step of the new range which is next
above the salary rate received in the old range; or if the new range does
not contain a higher step, the incumbent shall be placed at the step which
is next lower than the salary received in the old range.
5.9 Salary on Promotion. Any employee who is appointed to a position of a
class allocated to a higher salary range than the class previously occupied,
except as provided under Section 5.12 – Acting in a Higher Class, shall receive
the salary in the new salary range which is next higher than the rate received
before the promotion.
In the event this increase is less than five percent (5%), the employee's salary
shall be adjusted to the step in the new range which is at least five percent (5%)
greater than the next higher step; provided however that the next step shall not
exceed the maximum salary for the higher class.
In the event of the appointment of a laid off employee from the layoff list to the
class from which the employee was laid off, the employee shall be appointed at
the step which the employee had formerly attained in that class unless such step
results in a decrease in which case the employee is appointed to the next higher
step. If however, the employee is being appointed into a class allocated to a
higher salary range than the class from which the employee was laid off, the
salary will be calculated from the highest step the employee achieved prior to
layoff, or from the employee’s current step, whichever is higher.
5.10 Salary on Involuntary Demotion. Any employee who is demoted,
except as provided under Section 5.12 – Acting in a Higher Class, shall have
their salary reduced to the monthly salary step in the range for the class of
position to which the employee has been demoted next lower than the salary
received before demotion. In the event this decrease is less than five percent
(5%), the employee's salary shall be adjusted to the step in the new range which
is five percent (5%) less than the next lower step; provided, however, that the
next step shall not be less than the minimum salary of the lower class.
Whenever the demotion is the result of layoff, cancellation of positions or
displacement by another employee with greater seniority rights, the salary of the
demoted employee shall be that step on the salary range which the employee

would have achieved had the employee been continuously in the position to
which the employee had been demoted, all within-range increments having been
granted.
5.11 Salary on Voluntary Demotion. Whenever any employee voluntarily
demotes to a position in a class having a salary schedule lower than that of the
class from which the employee demotes, the employee's salary shall remain the
same if the steps in the employee's new (demoted) salary range permit, and if
not, the new salary shall be set at the step next below former salary.
5.12 Acting in a Higher Class. When an employee is required to work in a
higher paid classification, the employee shall receive the higher compensation for
such work, pursuant to the County Salary Regulations, plus any differentials and
incentives the employee would have received in the employee’s regular position.
The higher pay entitlement shall begin on the employee’s forty-first (41st)
consecutive hour in the assignment, for forty (40) hour employees and the fifty-
seventh (57th) consecutive hour in the assignment, for fifty-six (56) hour
employees.
5.13 Payment. On the tenth (10th) day of each month, the Auditor will draw a
warrant upon the Treasurer in favor of each employee for the amount of salary
due to the employee for the preceding month; provided, however, that each
employee (except those paid on an hourly rate) may choose to receive an
advance on the employee's monthly salary, in which case the Auditor shall, on
the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month, draw a warrant upon the Treasury in
favor of such employee.
The advance shall be in an amount equal to one-third (1/3) or less at the option
of the employee, of the employee's basic salary of the previous month except
that it shall not exceed the amount of the previous month's basic salary less all
requested or required deductions.
The election to receive an advance shall be made on or before April 30 or
October 31 of each year or during the first month of employment by filing on
forms prepared by the Auditor-Controller a notice of election to receive salary
advance.
Each election shall become effective on the first day of the month following the
deadline for filing the notice and shall remain effective until revoked.
In the case of an election made pursuant to this Section 5.13 all required or
requested deductions from salary shall be taken from the second installment,
which is payable on the tenth (10th) day of the following month.
5.14 Pay Warrant Errors. If an employee receives a pay warrant which has an
error in the amount of compensation to be received and if this error occurred as a
result of a mistake by the Auditor-Controller's Department, it is the policy of the
Auditor-Controller's Department that the error will be corrected and a new
warrant issued within forty-eight (48) hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 286
holidays from the time the Department is made aware of and verifies that the pay
warrant is in error. If the pay warrant error has occurred as a result of a mistake
by an employee (e.g. payroll clerk) other than the employee who is receiving the
pay, the error will be corrected as soon as possible from the time the department
is made aware that pay warrant is in error.
Pay errors in employee pay shall be corrected as soon as possible as to current
pay rate but no recovery of either overpayments or underpayments to an
employee shall be made retroactively except for the six (6) month period
immediately preceding discovery of the pay error. This provision shall apply
regardless of whether the error was made by the employee, the appointing
authority or designee, the Director of Human Resources or designee, or the
Auditor-Controller or designee. Recovery of fraudulently accrued over or
underpayments are excluded from this section for both parties.
When the County notifies an employee of an overpayment and proposed
repayment schedule, the employee may accept the proposed repayment
schedule or may request a meeting through the County Human Resources
Department. If requested, a meeting shall be held to determine a repayment
schedule which shall be no longer than three times (3) the length of time the
overpayment occurred.
SECTION 6 – ADDITIONAL HOURS
6.1 Overtime Compensation. Effective upon ratification, overtime will be
paid at the rate of one and one-half (1 ½) times the Battalion Chief (RPHA) base
rate of pay (not including shift and other special differentials). Overtime shall only

(40) hour schedule and fifty-six (56) hour shift employees shall be credited with
fifty-five (55) and seventy-seven (77) hours, respectively, of paid administrative
leave. This leave time is non-accruable and all balances will be zeroed-out
effective December 31, each year. Permanent part-time employees and
employees hired after January 1 shall have such leave prorated based upon
position hours.
This administrative leave is provided in recognition of those situations outside

status in the following instances:
1. Temporary Illness or Injury of an Employee. An employee may use
paid sick leave credits when off work because of a temporary
illness or injury.
If an employee does not apply for sick leave and the appointing
authority believes that the employee is not able to properly perform
regularly assigned work or that the general health of the employee
is impaired due to disability, the employee may be required to
undergo a physical examination by a physician selected by the Fire
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 292
Chief or the Chief’s designated representative, the cost of such
examination to be borne by the District. Based upon the medical
report, a mandatory sick leave may be imposed upon the employee
for the duration of the temporary disability.
2. Permanent Disability Sick Leave. Permanent disability means an
employee suffers from a disabling physical injury or illness and is
thereby prevented from engaging in any District occupation for
which the employee is qualified by reason of education, training or
experience. Sick leave may be used by permanently disabled
employees until all accruals of the employee have been exhausted

the Retirement Board.
b. Satisfactory medical evidence of such disability is received
by the appointing authority within 30 days of the start of use
of sick leave for permanent disability.
c. The appointing authority may review medical evidence and
order further examinations as deemed necessary, and may
terminate use of sick leave when such further examination
demonstrates that the employee is not disabled, or when the
appointing authority determines that the medical evidence
submitted by the employee is insufficient, or when the above
conditions have not been met.
3. Communicable Disease. An employee may use paid sick leave
credits when under a physician’s order to remain secluded due to
exposure to a communicable disease.
4. Sick Leave Utilization for Pregnancy Disability. Employees whose
disability is caused or contributed to by pregnancy, miscarriage,
abortion, childbirth, or recovery therefrom, shall be allowed to utilize
sick leave credit to the maximum accrued by such employee during
the period of such disability under the conditions set forth below.
a. Application for such leave must be made by the employee to
the appointing authority accompanied by a written statement
of disability from the employee’s attending physician. The
statement must address itself to the employee’s general
physical condition having considered the nature of the work
performed by the employee, and it must indicate the date of
the commencement of the disability as well as the date the
physician anticipates the disability to terminate. The District
retains the right to a medical review of all requests for such
leave.

b. If an employee does not apply for leave and the appointing
authority believes that the employee is not able to properly
perform work or that the employee’s general health is
impaired due to disability caused or contributed to by
pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, childbirth or recovery
therefrom, the employee shall be required to undergo a
physical examination by a physician selected by the District,
the cost of which shall be borne by the District. Should the
medical report so recommend, a mandatory leave shall be
imposed upon the employee for the duration of the disability.
c. If all accrued sick leave has been utilized by the employee,
the employee shall be considered on an approved leave
without pay unless the employee chooses to use vacation or
other non-sick leave accruals. Sick leave may not be utilized

that the disability continues and the projected date of the
employee’s recovery from such disability.

medical and dental appointments to avoid conflicts with
scheduled workdays as much as possible consistent with
medical necessity.

have a scheduled medical or dental appointment on a duty
day. In any emergency situation, the appropriate supervisor
must be contacted immediately.
6. Emergency Care of Family. An employee may use paid sick leave
credits for working time used (1) to personally care for an ill or
injured immediate family member if there is a real need for
someone to render care, no one else is available therefore, and
alternative arrangements for the care of the ill or injured person are
immediately undertaken; or (2) to be present at the bedside of a
seriously ill or injured immediate family member; or (3) to transport
an ill or injured immediate family member to receive medical care if
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 294
no one else is available to provide transportation. However, the
time so charged shall not exceed one shift for 56-hour week

immediate family or of the employee’s domestic partner; this shall
not exceed three (3) consecutive 24-hour shifts or five (5)
consecutive 8-hour working days without the Fire Chief’s approval.
11.4 Prohibited Uses of Paid Sick Leave. Accumulated sick leave credits
may not be used in the following situations:

time off work for an employee’s illness or injury when proven to be
purposely self-inflicted or caused by employee’s willful misconduct.

illness or injury which occurs while on vacation. However, when
extenuating circumstances exist, the Fire Chief may authorize sick
leave in place of vacation.
3. Not in Pay Status. Paid sick leave credits may not be used when
the employee would otherwise be eligible to use paid sick leave
credits but is not in pay status, i.e., leave of absence, suspension,
etc.
11.5 Sick Leave Incentive Plan. Employees shall be eligible for payoff of
unused sick leave accruals at separation. This program is an incentive for
employees to safeguard sick leave accruals as protection against wage loss due
to time lost for injury or illness. Payoff must be approved by the Director of
Human Resources and can be awarded only under the following conditions:
a. The employee must have resigned in good standing
b. Payout is not available if the employee is eligible to retire
c. The balance of sick leave at resignation must be at least seventy percent
(70%) of accruals earned in the preceding continuous period of

leave of absence without pay, an employee may elect to maintain pay
status each month by using available sick leave (if so entitled under
Section 11 - Sick Leave), vacation, floating holiday, compensatory time off
or other accruals or entitlements; in other words, during the first twelve
(12) months, a leave of absence without pay may be "broken" into
segments and accruals used on a monthly basis at the employee's
discretion. After the first twelve (12) months, the leave period may not be
"broken" into segments and accruals may not be used, except when
required by LTD Benefit Coordination or Sick Leave Integration or in the
sections below.
B. Family Care or Medical Leave. During the twelve (12) weeks of an
approved medical or family care leave, if a portion of that leave will be on
a leave of absence without pay, the employee will be required to use at
least 0.1 hour of sick leave (if so entitled under Section 11 - Sick Leave),
vacation, floating holiday, compensatory time off or other accruals or
entitlements if such are available, although use of additional accruals is
permitted under subsection A. above.

family care or medical leave, an employee on a 5/40 schedule shall be reinstated
to the same or comparable position if the return to work is after no more than
ninety (90) work days of leave from the initial date of a continuous leave,
including use of accruals, or within the equivalent on an alternate work schedule.
A full time employee taking an intermittent or reduced work schedule leave shall
be reinstated to the same or comparable position if the return to work on a full
schedule is after no more than 480 hours, including use of accruals, of
intermittent or reduced schedule leave. At the time the original leave is
approved, the appointing authority shall notify the employee in writing of the final
date to return to work, or the maximum number of hours of leave, in order to
guarantee reinstatement to the same or comparable position. An employee on a
schedule other than 5/40 shall have the time frame for reinstatement to the same
or comparable position adjusted on a pro rata basis. (For example, an employee
assigned to a 56-hour work week would be eligible for up to 672 hours under this
Section).
13.14 Salary Review While on Leave of Absence. The salary of an employee
who is on leave of absence from a County position on any anniversary date and
who has not been absent from the position on leave without pay more than six

dollars can be expended on any eligible medical expenses allowed by Internal
Revenue Code Section 125. Any unused balance is forfeited and cannot be

provision of any other County or District enactment or policy, including but not
limited to Administrative Bulletins, the Salary Regulations, the Personnel
Management Regulations, or any other resolution or order of the Board of
Supervisors, the provision(s) of this Section (Section 14 – Health and Welfare,

restored to a position in the classification in the District from which the employee
was promoted or transferred. A probationary employee who has been rejected
or has resigned during probation shall not be restored to the eligible list from
which the employee was certified unless the employee receives the affirmative
recommendation from the appointing authority and is certified by the Director of
Human Resources whose decision is final. The Director of Human Resources

the employee's appeal rights under the Management Complaint
Procedure contained in Section 19 of the Memorandum of
Understanding, beginning with step C.

SECTION 19 – MANAGEMENT COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
19.1 Management Complaint Procedure. A complaint is any dispute which
involves the interpretation or application of any provision of this Memorandum of
Understanding (excluding, however, those provisions of this Memorandum of
Understanding which specifically provide that the decision of any County/District
official shall be final, the interpretation or application of those provisions not being
subject to the complaint procedure) or disciplinary actions. The Association may
represent the employee at any stage of the process. Complaints must be filed
within fifteen (15) days of the incident or occurrence about which the employee
claims to have a complaint and shall be processed in the following manner.
A. Step 1. Any employee or group of employees who believes a provision of
this Memorandum of Understanding has been misinterpreted or
misapplied to the employee's detriment shall discuss the complaint on an
informal basis with the employee's appropriate chief officer who shall meet
with the employee and respond to the complaint within five (5) duty shifts,
or ten (10) workdays in the case a complaint filed by employees assigned
to a forty (40) hour workweek, of a request to hold such a meeting.
Complaints challenging suspensions, reductions in pay, demotions and
terminations may be filed at Step 3 within the time frame set forth in
Section 18.5.
B. Step 2. If a complaint is not satisfactorily resolved in Step 1 above, the
employee may submit the complaint in writing within five (5) calendar days
to such management official, other than the chief officer who participated
in Step 1 above, as the Fire Chief may designate. This formal written
complaint shall state which provision of the Memorandum of
Understanding has been misinterpreted or misapplied, how the misin-
terpretation or misapplication has affected the employee to the employee's
detriment, and the redress the employee seeks. A copy of each written
communication on a complaint shall be filed with the Employee Relations
Officer or his/her designee. The designated management official shall
have ten (10) workdays in which to respond to the complaint in writing.

to the employee and the employee's Association representative.
D. Step 4. No complaint may be processed under this Section which has not
first been filed and investigated in accordance with Step 3 above and filed
within five (5) calendar days of the written response of the Employee
Relations Officer or his/her designee. If the parties are unable to reach a

one (1) of whom shall be either an employee of the District or a member of
the Association presenting this complaint, and three (3) representatives of
the District, no more than one (1) of whom shall be an employee of a
District covered by this MOU, or a County employee or a member of the
staff of an organization employed to represent the District in the meeting

E. Step 5. Within ten (10) calendar days of exhaustion of this procedure
through Step 4, the Association may request a meeting and/or discussion
with the Fire Chief regarding the complaint.
If an Adjustment Board is unable to arrive at a majority decision, either the
employee (or the County/District, when alleging a violation of Section 19.2
below) may require the complaint be referred to an impartial arbitrator who
shall be designated by mutual agreement between the employee and the
Employee Relations Officer or his/her designee. Such request shall be
submitted within ten (10) calendar days of the rendering of the Adjustment
Board decision to the Employee Relations Officer or his/her designee (or

Adjustment Board in pursuance of the provisions of Section 19.1D

discharge, they may agree to payment for lost time or to

that the complaint is carried to arbitration and such employee is
found to have been properly discharged under the provisions of
Section 18, such employee may not be ordered reinstated and no
penalty may be assessed upon the County/District.

limits and steps specified above may be waived by mutual agreement of the
parties to the complaint. If the District fails to meet the time limits specified in

RECOMMENDATION(S):
Acting as the Governing Body of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/389
regarding salary increases for unrepresented fire safety management classifications in the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost of this action and the companion management resolution is $68,000 for FY 2017/18 (seven
months); $177,000 for FY 2018/19; and $218,000 for FY 2019/20. These costs include the reduction to employee
paid pension subvention over the three years of $20,000, $35,000, and $35,000 respectively. The estimated cost of
the three fiscal years is $463,000.
BACKGROUND:
Historically, the wages and benefits granted by the District to its unrepresented safety management employees have
paralleled the wages and benefits negotiated by the District with the United Chief Officers' Association. On
December 5, 2017, the Governing Body of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District adopted a new
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the United Chief Officers' Association that included wage increases.
Resolution No. 2017/389 increases the wages of unrepresented safety management classifications in order to retain
parity with represented fire classifications.

CCCERA Before January 1, 2013 has been revised to gradually reduce the amount that employees pay
toward the employer’s share of the cost for Safety Tier A retirement benefits and to eliminate the payment
effective July 1, 2019. After that date, the employees will pay all of their share of the cost of Safety Tier A,
and the District will pay all of its share.
3.
Section 21 Fire Services Emergency Recall and Standby Differential has been revised to provide that
effective January 1, 2018, there will be only one differential paid to employees assigned to standby and
emergency recall duty. This five percent differential will be available only for those who are assigned such
extra duty for a minimum of ten days each month.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Benefits for District management employees will be significantly different than represented employees' benefits,
potentially making it more difficult to attract candidates for promotion.

The designation of positions for which bilingual proficiency is required is the sole
prerogative of the District/County, and such designations may be amended or

9.10 Overtime Exempt Exclusion: Employees in unrepresented classifications
are overtime exempt and are not eligible for overtime pay, holiday pay,
overtime compensatory time, or holiday compensatory time. Instead,
these employees are awarded Annual Management Administrative Leave
in recognition of the extra burden their job responsibilities may sometimes
place on their work schedules. However, unrepresented employees may
be made eligible for overtime pay if their names are placed on the
Overtime Exempt Exclusion List by the County Administrator’s Office.
Employees on the Overtime Exempt Exclusion List are authorized to
receive overtime pay only. These employees are NOT eligible for holiday
pay, overtime compensatory time, or holiday compensatory time.
Employees on the Overtime Exempt Exclusion List are also NOT eligible
for Annual Management Administrative Leave for the quarter they are on
the Overtime Exempt Exclusion List. The policies and procedures for the

including temporary, provisional and permanent status and absences on
an approved leave of absence; except that when an employee separates

employed in a permanent County/District position within two (2) years from
date of separation, the period of separation will be bridged. Under these
circumstances, the service credits will include all credits accumulated at
time of separation but will not include the period of separation. The
service credits of an employee are determined from employee status
records maintained by the Human Resources Department.

must contribute to the deferred compensation plan as indicated below:
Monthly Contribution
Employees with Qualifying Base Required to Maintain
Current Monthly Contribution Incentive Program
Salary of: Amount Eligibility
$2,500 and below $250 $50

Employees who discontinue contributions or who contribute less than the
required amount per month for a period of one (1) month or more will no
longer be eligible for the eighty five dollar ($85) District supplement. To
reestablish eligibility, employees must again make a Base Contribution
Amount as set forth above based on current monthly salary. Employees with
a break in deferred compensation contributions either because of an
approved medical leave or an approved financial hardship withdrawal will not
be required to reestablish eligibility. Further, employees who lose eligibility
due to displacement by layoff, but maintain contributions at the required level
and are later employed in an eligible position, will not be required to
reestablish eligibility.

positions are eligible for Management Administrative Leave on the first day of
the month following their appointment date and will receive Management

d. Employees on the Overtime Exempt Exclusion List are authorized to
receive overtime pay; therefore, their Management Administrative Leave will
be reduced by twenty-five percent (25%) each time the employee is on the

employee’s current leave balance, but if there is no balance, it will be
deducted from future awarded Annual Management Administrative Leave.

Where a lump-sum payment is made to employees as a retroactive general
salary adjustment for a portion of a calendar year that is subsequent to the
exercise by an employee of the vacation buy-back provision herein, that
employee’s vacation buy-back will be adjusted to reflect the percentage

amount ($500,000) and unit prices submitted in the bid ($1,484.00 Total Unit Price);
The on-call contracts became effective on December 6, 2016, and expires on December 6, 2017.
Due to the large amount of unforeseen infrastructure damage caused by last winter’s storms and the resulting
maintenance backlog, the existing payment limit for these contracts is close to being exceeded. It is necessary to
increase the contract payment limit for GradeTech, Inc.’s and Hess Concrete Construction Co., Inc.’s, from
$500,000 to $1,000,000 each. CCO #1 has been prepared to cover the proposed increases and to authorize
payment for road, flood control, and airport maintenance work performed on or after September 15, 2017. The
Public Works Department is requesting the contract values be increased and the term extended to December 6,
2018 to accommodate the maintenance backlog.
To enable timely payment to GradeTech, Inc., and Hess Concrete Construction Co., Inc., the Interim Public Works
Director recommends that the Board approve CCO #1 and authorize the Interim Public Works Director, or
designee, to sign it for the County. The increased contract amount for GradeTech, Inc., and Hess Concrete
Construction Co., Inc., will increase the total allotted amount for road, flood control, and airport maintenance
work to $2,000,000.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
These contracts have a term of one year (with the option of two one-year extensions) and once the available
contract capacity is used, there is no remaining contract capacity for on-call routine and emergency work for the
remainder of the term. Failure to approve CCO #1 would prevent the Public Works Department from completing
routine road, flood control, and airport maintenance work in a timely manner and preclude payment to
GradeTech, Inc., and Hess Concrete Construction Co., Inc., for compensation due to them for completing road,
flood control and airport maintenance work.

right turns at the eastbound SR4 loop off ramp will be removed as well as the BART access road. The intersection
and traffic signal will be modified to control the right turn movements. A 12-foot-wide sidewalk along the
southbound side of Bailey Road and a 6-foot-wide sidewalk along the northbound side will be constructed through
the interchange area as well as Class 2 bike lanes. The Project will result in removal of approximately 22,500
square feet (0.5 acre) of pavement and install approximately 9,400 square feet (0.2 acre) of pavement.
Replacement planting/landscaping will be installed as needed. The Project will maintain the existing drainage
pattern and impacted drainage inlets will be modified. Temporary construction easements may be needed for
construction staging which will occur in already disturbed areas. Utility relocations will be required. A minimum
of one lane will be open during construction activities. Emergency vehicles will have access at all times.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the Project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding

Project Applicant: Contra Costa County Public Works Department
Project Location – Specific: Bailey Road/State Route 4 interchange
Project Location: Bay Point Project Location – County: Contra Costa
Description of Nature, Purpose and Beneficiaries of Project: The project will reconfigure the State Route 4 (SR4) eastbound and
westbound off-ramps at Bailey Road and improve access for pedestrians and bicyclists along Bailey Road (Figure 3). Specifically, the
project will include the removal of the westbound loop off-ramp and underlying pedestrian tunnel on the northwest side of the
interchange. A temporary platform will be installed underneath the loop off-ramp structure during demolition to protect the underlying
Contra Costa Canal. The westbound diagonal off-ramp on the northeast side of the interchange will be widened to two lanes for
approximately 450 feet beginning at the intersection and a new traffic signal will be installed. An approximately 230-foot long, 8-foot tall
retaining wall will be constructed along the north side of the ramp which will require excavation of an area approximately 6 feet wide and
6 feet in depth. The project will remove the free right turns at the eastbound SR4 loop off ramp as well as the BART access road. The
intersection and traffic signal will be modified to control the right turn movements. A 12-foot-wide sidewalk along the southbound side of
Bailey Road and a 6-foot-wide sidewalk along the northbound side will be constructed through the interchange area as well as Class 2
bike lanes. The project will result in removal of approximately 22,500 square feet (0.5 acre) of pavement and install approximately 9,400

December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 385
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Contra Costa Transportation Authority Funds.
BACKGROUND:
In 1998 the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and the County entered into Agreement No. 87 for
the County to provide right of way services for the State Route 4-West Gap Project (Project). The terms of the
Agreement included the County initially taking title for various property rights for the Project and to transfer
those rights to the appropriate parties at a later date. Agreement No. 87 is on file at the Public Works Department.
In 2010 the County acquired the real property described in the Exhibit “A” (Property) as part of the settlement
with Asbury Graphite, Inc., in connection with the Project.
As part of the Project, several utilities were relocated on and under the Property and easements rights have been
conveyed to the appropriate parties. Because of the size and location of Property, and the easements which limit
its use, its value does not exceed $25,000.00.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County and CCTA would continue to needlessly expend funds to maintain the property.

December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 405
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Project calls for widening of the travel lanes from ten (10) feet to twelve (12) feet, add eight (8) foot wide
shoulders to both sides of the road, move utility poles further inland, improve drainage, realignment of curves and
slopes for better visibility and add a Class III Bike Route.
On October 11, 2011 the County secured the property rights from the State in accordance with the approved plans
and specifications. The utility poles were relocated to locations not approved and the County is securing those
rights in exchange for a quitclaim to areas no longer needed for this Project.
On March 1, 2011, the Board adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting
Plan for this activity.
Real Estate Division staff determined that the property rights being quitclaimed to the State under the quitclaim
deed are no longer necessary for County or other public purposes, and that their estimated value does not exceed
$25,000.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not be able to secure the proper property rights to Lydia Lane and would be responsible for
areas no longer needed.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONTINUE the emergency action originally taken by the Board of Supervisors on March 7, 2017, pursuant to
Public Contract Code Sections 22035 and 22050, to repair the Morgan Territory Road Slide Repair Project, as
recommended by the Interim Public Works Director, Clayton area. Project No. 0672-6U6203 (District III)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the project is not expected to exceed $6,000,000. The project will be funded by Local Road Funds
(100%). County staff is actively pursuing reimbursement through the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) as a result of the State and Federal emergency declarations.
BACKGROUND:
On March 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors declared an emergency and authorized the Public Works Director to
proceed in the most expeditious manner to repair Morgan Territory Road approximately 1 mile south of Marsh Creek
Road.
The repair work requires the installation of two structural retaining wall systems, excavation and backfill of
embankment between the wall systems, reconstruction of pavement, drainage improvements, and pavement striping.

December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 437
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
staff completed the road repair design and requested prices for the necessary equipment, services, and supplies to
perform the emergency repair project as expeditiously as possible. The resulting price quotes were received on May
23, 2017. On June 1, 2017, the Public Works Director signed a construction contract with Flatiron West, Inc., to
perform the emergency repair work.
The emergency repairs began on July 17, 2017, and was substantially completed and opened to public traffic on
November 18, 2017. During the construction period, Morgan Territory Road was closed at the slide site and local
traffic used a temporary access on Leon Drive through the Marsh Creek Detention Facility driveway. The Interim
Public Works Director signed an agreement, “License Agreement for Temporary Use of Private Road (Leon Drive)”,
with each owner of Leon Drive for public use of the private road as needed for the duration of the construction phase
of the emergency repairs. On November 18, 2017, the Leon Drive temporary access was closed to public traffic.
The temporary detour road on Leon Drive must be repaved prior to returning it to the owners in accordance with the
signed License Agreement. The County plans to utilize the existing contract with Granite Rock Company to repave
Leon Drive in December. The emergency action will be continued until the repairs to Leon Drive are completed.
Public Contract Code Section 22050 requires that, for a body that meets weekly, the need to continue the emergency
declaration be reviewed at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated. Since the conditions that
warranted the emergency declaration persist, it is appropriate for the Board to continue the emergency actions
regarding the hazardous conditions caused by storm damage.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Non-concurrence at this point in the project could cause delays in completion of the slide repairs.

December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 439
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Street Lighting, increased Library Services, and the operation and maintenance of 3 Community Facilities
Buildings (Community Center, Senior Center, and Service Center).
In a 1997 Memorandum of Understanding between Contra Costa County and the City of San Ramon, it was
decided that these increased services would be provided by the City of San Ramon, and reimbursed through
property tax and special assessment revenue of CSA M-29. CSA M-29 was created in 1998 to collect property tax
and special assessment revenue.
The Dougherty Valley Maintenance Budget includes all revenue from CSA M-29 in addition to sales tax, real
property transfer tax and contributions from the City of San Ramon General Fund. At the end of the fiscal year
funds are to be reimbursed to the City of San Ramon for various municipal services provided within the
Dougherty Valley area.
On December 20, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved a Reimbursement Agreement between the County, the
City of San Ramon, Shapell Industries and Windemere BLC Land Company to provide reimbursement to the City
of San Ramon for providing services within the boundaries of Dougherty Valley.
The Reimbursement Agreement outlined the annual process for the City of San Ramon to receive reimbursement
of funds for services rendered in Dougherty Valley. The process laid out in the agreement calls for the annual
budget for Dougherty Valley Maintenance to be approved at the San Ramon City Council level and then
subsequently approved at the County Board of Supervisors.
On May 23, 2017, by Resolution 2017-047, the San Ramon City Council approved the FY 2017/18 citywide
operating and capital budgets including line items for the Dougherty Valley Maintenance which totaled
$23,811,415 in expenses.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Dougherty Valley Maintenance budget will not be approved and the City of San Ramon will not receive
reimbursement for city services performed in Dougherty Valley as agreed to under terms of the Reimbursement
Agreement and the 1994 Settlement Agreement.

In the Matter of Honoring the Life of Ruth Bancroft
Whereas Ruth Bancroft was the beloved founder of the world-renowned Ruth Bancroft Gardens; and
Whereas, Ruth studied architecture at UC Berkeley, but the stock market crash in 1929 made it difficult to
find employment, so Ruth completed a home arts degree and became a high school teacher; and
Whereas, she married Philip Bancroft, Jr. in 1939; and
Whereas, Ruth moved to the Bancroft family’s 400-acre pear and walnut farm in Walnut Creek, where she
and Philip raised three children; and
Whereas, when her children were young, she began collecting shells on family trips to Pescardero; and
Whereas, she carefully documented each species and date and location where it was collected; and
Whereas, a large part of her collection was donated to the California Academy of Sciences, which found
great value in its documentation; and
Whereas, in the 1950s, Ruth began collecting succulents and creating the gardens that still exist around her
home, including a lawn designed by well-known landscape architect Ted Osmundson; and
Whereas, Ruth developed a number of gardens in the 1950s, which included the Herb Garden, Rose Garden,
Rock Garden, and the Iris Walk; and
Whereas, Ruth spent countless hours recording the details of her gardens; and
Whereas in 1971 Philip Bancroft Jr. gave her 3.5 acres to plant her succulents and she began her final
garden on the site of a former walnut orchard; and
Whereas, the Bancroft family formed the nonprofit the Ruth Bancroft Garden on Bancroft Road and was
the inspiration for the founding of the Garden Conservancy; and
Whereas, a conservation easement was applied to the garden property, the first such case of a garden being
preserved through an easement in North America; and
Whereas, their first project: the Ruth Bancroft Garden opened to the public in 1992; and
Whereas, the Ruth Bancroft Garden is a masterpiece; a deeply personal and original exploration of plants,
place and garden design; and
Whereas, Ruth worked every day in the garden until she was 97 years old; and
Whereas, Ruth shared that gardening for so many years taught her patience; and
Whereas, Ruth was deeply admired by those who worked with her, she and her garden inspired generations
of visitors and she will be remembered fondly by her community.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors honor Ruth Bancroft for her contributions to our community by
nurturing her gardens and teaching us to respect the environment and treasure the natural beauty around us.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Ordinance No. 2017-02 amending the County Ordinance Code Section 33-5.387 to exclude from the Merit
System the classification of EHS Deputy Bureau Director-Exempt (XAD2) and to delete the classification of Deputy
Director-Workforce Services - Exempt (XAD8).
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2017 the EHS Deputy Bureau Director-Exempt classification was established. In addition,
Ordinance No. 2017-02 was introduced to amend the County Ordinance Code to exclude the classification from the
Merit System and delete the classification of Deputy Director-Workforce Services-Exempt. Since the EHS Deputy
Bureau Director-Exempt classification will fulfill the Department's needs for an additional management level
between the bureau director classifications and the EHS Division Manager classification in the Workforce Services
and Children and Family Services bureaus, there is no longer a need for the specialized Deputy Director-Workforce
Services-Exempt classification. The November 14, 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting was fixed as the date for
adoption.
The EHS Deputy Bureau Director classification will provide the Employment and Human Services Department the
additional executive managerial positions to address the growth and changes to program services, manage State and
Federal regulations and mandates, and keep abreast of changing trends facing social services

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment #5025 authorizing adjustments to Federal, State and County
expenditure and revenue budgets in the Adoptions Assistance and General Assistance program areas.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will adjust both the expenditure and revenue budgets to more accurately reflect an increase in Adoptions
Assistance revenues and costs for FY 17/18. FY 17/18 Adoptions Assistance revenue is increasing by $579,252,
however costs for the program are expected to increase by $626,444. The net increase of $47,192 in expenditures
will be offset by a small projected decrease in General Assistance expenditures, which this appropriation adjustment
will correct. The revenue increase is 80% Federal and 20% State revenue, and there is no additional net county cost.
BACKGROUND:
Children and Family Services Bureau received an increase in Adoptions Assistance revenue, however they are also
currently projecting budget expenditure overages in Adoptions Assistance due to increased costs. The overage will be
offset by a projected decrease of $47,192 in General Assistance expenditures. This requested appropriation
adjustment will better align this fiscal year's expenditures and revenues for a balanced budget.

to an Interdepartmental Services Agreement with the Health Services Department in the amount of $2,324,680 for the
Community Connect Whole Person Care Pilot Program, in the Employment and Human Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will establish the revenue and expenditure budgets related to the Community Connect Whole Person Care
Pilot Program (WPC) in the Employment and Human Services Department as a result of a $2,324,680 Interagency
Departmental Agreement with the Health Services Department. Employment and Human Services Department has

physical health, behavioral health, and social services in a patient-centered manner in order to improve the health
and well-being of this vulnerable population. Team-based case management and care coordination are two of the
major aspects of the service delivery model for this program. CCHS has asked the Employment and Human
Services Department (EHSD) to assist in case management and care coordination of social services for this
vulnerable population. EHSD has dedicated 17 positions in order to provide social service case management and
care coordination. EHSD social work staff will be co-located with Health Services staff at the WPC work site and
will be physically embedded within the project’s interdisciplinary work teams. Under an interdepartmental
agreement, CCHS will transfer funds to EHSD from its WPC revenue to cover all the costs of EHSD staff
assigned to the project.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5028 authorizing an adjustment to expenditures and
revenues in the Aging and Adult Services Bureau. Adjustments are based on the revised methodology for the FY
17/18 budget of the In-Home Supportive Services Maintenance of Effort structure, and the redirection of AB85 and
1991 Realignment revenues from the Health Services and Mental Health accounts to the Social Services account.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will adjust revenue allocations in the amount of $7,129,395 based on the revised methodology of the
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Maintenance of Effort (MOE) County share, the redirection of AB85 funds to
IHSS , redirection of 1991 Realignment funds to IHSS, and the projected funds to be received as part of the
accelerated caseload growth. Also, this action will adjust expenditures in the amount of $7,129,395 for the MOE
recalculation, increased costs for IHSS Provider payments, retirement costs, and Contra Costa Health Plan costs.
(11% Federal, 56% State, 33% 91 Realignment)
BACKGROUND:
In June 2017, the new In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) trailer bill (contained in SB 90) was signed into law,
thereby implementing the Governor's May Revision proposal to mitigate the fiscal impact of the elimination of the
IHSS Maintenance of Effort (MOE). A new MOE was proposed which included increased costs and identified new
sources of revenue to offset those County costs including the redirection of funds from the Health Services and
Mental Health AB85 and 1991 Realignment accounts and the addition of accelerated caseload growth. Based on the
California State Association of Counties' (CSAC) estimates, the Employment and Human Services Department is
projecting an increase of approximately $7.1 million of expenditures and revenue.

staffing adjustments in the Workforce Development Board (Org 0583), the Aging & Adult Services Bureau (Org
0503), the Workforce Services Bureau (Org 0504), and the Administration Bureau (Org 0501). The overall
adjustments of $682,892 has a net effect of decreasing both revenues and expenditures by $145,175. There is no
additional net County cost.

Subject:Employment and Human Services Department - Appropriation Adjustments for FY 17/18 Budget Rebalance
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 560
BACKGROUND:
The requested actions will rebalance the FY 2017/18 Employment and Human Services Department budget. Due
to a loss in revenue, two vacant positions at the Workforce Development Board's One-Stop Center are being
eliminated effective December 31, 2017, resulting in a net decrease to both revenues and expenditures of
$121,202. The Department also seeks to make adjustments to expenditure and revenue budgets as a result of a
decrease in the CalFresh revenue allocation that results in a change to the County’s federal and state match
requirements. Due to the loss of revenue, one vacant Social Worker position and one vacant Eligibility Worker
Supervisor position currently in Workforce Services are being eliminated effective December 31, 2017. The
resulting decrease in match requirement for Workforce Development Board and CalFresh programs makes federal
and state revenues available in Aging and Adult Services programs. Those revenues will fund the addition of one
Deputy Director and one Administrative Services Assistant III positions. These actions will result in slight net
county savings that are being repurposed to General Assistance County Aid in the Employment and Human
Services Department. These actions will result in a net decrease of $23,973 in revenue and expenditures to the
Department, and including the Workforce Development Board adjustments will ultimately result in a net effect of
$145,175.
The combination of all three of these Appropriation Adjustments will result in a net decrease of $145,175 in
revenue and expenditures to the Department, and return the budget to being balanced.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appropriations will not be properly allocated.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
1) APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Conservation and Development, or designee, to execute, on behalf
of the County, an amendment to the memorandum of understanding with cities and water agencies in east Contra
Costa County regarding coordinated groundwater management of the Tracy Subbasin, to allow the County to provide

plan for the portion of the east Contra Costa County subbasin, and take related actions.
2) DESIGNATE the Director of Conservation and Development, or designee, to be the County’s representative for all
actions the County performs under the MOU, as amended.
3) DECLARE Contra Costa County's support for the City of Brentwood's Proposition 1 grant application to the
Department of Water Resources for funding portions of the development of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan for
the Tracy Subbasin.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. Costs to prepare the groundwater sustainability plan will be divided evenly among
the parties to the MOU, except that the County may elect to satisfy some or all of its cost-share obligation through
in-kind services performed by County staff, which will be funded by the Water Agency.

Subject:First Amendment to the East County Groundwater Sustainability MOU
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 574
BACKGROUND:
On April 25, 2017, the Board adopted Resolution Number 2017/148 declaring Contra Costa County's intent to
become a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and authorized execution of a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with east county entities to prepare a Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the portion of
the Tracy Subbasin within Contra Costa County. The east county entities that also are parties to the MOU include
the Cities of Antioch and Brentwood, Contra Costa Water District, Diablo Water District, East Contra Costa
Irrigation District, and the Discovery Bay Community Services District. The MOU was executed shortly after the
Board hearing and became effective on May 9, 2017.
Additionally, the County submitted an application to the Department of Water Resources regarding becoming a
GSA on May 11, 2017 and 90 days later, on August 10, 2017, Contra Costa County became the exclusive
Groundwater Sustainability Agency for a portion of the Tracy Subbasin within east Contra Costa County, as
further described in the resolution. The other parties to the MOU also applied and became exclusive GSAs for
their portion of the Tracy Subbasin within Contra Costa County, as described in the MOU.
The parties entered into the MOU in order to develop a groundwater sustainability plan (GSP) for the East Contra
Costa County Portion of the Tracy Subbasin. The MOU reflects the Parties’ general agreement that the costs of
developing the GSP should be split evenly among the Parties. The MOU also generally allowed the County to
provide in-kind services to satisfy some or all of its cost-share obligations. This amendment to the MOU
establishes a process, undertaken annually, through which the parties agree on the GSP-preparation services to be
performed. The County will determine annually whether it will provide in-kind services. The County will be
responsible for paying the other parties true-up payments at the end of the year if the value of its in-kind services
is less than what the amount of its cost share would have been. If the value of in-kind services exceeds what the
cost-share would have been, the excess is carried over to satisfy next year’s in-kind service contribution. The
MOU establishes how the value of County in-kind services will be calculated. In addition, this amendment
designates Brentwood as the party that will serve as the contracting Party with the consultant on behalf of all of
the other Parties. The Parties wish to memorialize their mutual agreements by means of this First Amendment,
attached.
The Conservation and Development Department Director recommends the Board adopt the First Amendment to
the MOU for the development of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the East Contra Costa County Portion of
the Tracy Subbasin.
The City of Brentwood is preparing a grant application to the State that would cover some of the costs of
preparing a Groundwater Sustainability Plan. If approved, such a grant would reduce local agencies' share of the
costs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not adopt the first amendment to the MOU, the County would have no process in place to
provide in-kind services that could offset some of the costs of preparing the Groundwater Sustainability Plan for
the portion of the Tracy Subbasin within Contra Costa County.

County will pay its share of GSP Costs in the fiscal year, or that the County will provide in-kind 100
services in lieu of paying its share of GSP Costs in the fiscal year. In the case of payments to 101
Consultant or other vendors where the County wishes to substitute in-kind services for direct 102
payments, Brentwood shall allocate such invoices equally among the Parties other than the 103
County. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Party shall be obligated 104
to pay the County for the value of any in-kind services provided by the County, and the value of 105
any in-kind services provided by the County shall only act as a credit towards the County’s share 106
of GSP Costs, as more particularly described in Paragraph 2(e)(2)(B). 107
B. Annual Accounting. Brentwood shall prepare an annual accounting by October 108
1, 2018, and by each October 1 thereafter, that shows all GSP Costs for the previous fiscal year 109
and that identifies in-kind services provided by the County and the County’s calculation of the 110
value of those in-kind services. By July 30th following the end of a fiscal year, the County will 111
provide Brentwood an accounting of the County’s in-kind services during the prior fiscal year, 112
and any carry-over value of in-kind services provided during any fiscal years preceding the prior 113
fiscal year. The value of the County’s in-kind services will be calculated based on (1) the then-114
current fully-burdened hourly rates for County staff time, benefits, and overhead, and (2) the 115
County’s actual costs for any materials or supplies required to provide the in-kind services. 116
117
i. Upon written notice to the other Parties no later than 15 days after 118
receiving Brentwood’s annual accounting, any Party other than the County may dispute the 119
County’s calculation of the value of the in-kind services that the County provided during the 120
fiscal year for which the accounting is prepared, but no Party may challenge the value of in-kind 121
services that were carried over from any fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which the 122
accounting is prepared. In the event that one or more Parties provide notice of a dispute under 123
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 579
this subparagraph, the Parties shall promptly meet and confer in an effort to resolve the dispute 124
to the satisfaction of all Parties. The County’s obligation to make any payments to other Parties 125
under Paragraph 2(e)(2)(B)(ii) shall be tolled until the County receives, from each disputing 126

Risk Management's financial operations are imperative to the success of the Department and the programs being
administered. The incumbent will be responsible for calculating annual insurance charges for County departments,
providing reports for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) on the self-insurance funds,
completing and reviewing excess insurance carrier renewal applications, and monitoring self-insurance funds

Should this recommendation not be accepted it would be necessary to hire a contractor with the accounting
expertise to calculate department insurance charges, provide Risk Management internal service funds report for
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), complete and review excess insurance carrier renewal
applications, and monitor internal service fund program confidence levels. Each of the items listed are critical for

Subject:ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/396 directing the Human Resources Department to adjust and maintain the salary
ranges in step with California Minimum Wage
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 588
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
The State of California hourly minimum wage is scheduled to increase as follows:
$11.00 effective January 1, 2018
$12.00 effective January 1, 2019
$13.00 effective January 1, 2020
$14.00 effective January 1, 2021
$15.00 effective January 1, 2022.
Although the County is not subject to the State minimum wage law, the Board of Supervisors wants County
employees’ pay to keep in step with this law.
On March 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2017/101 to bring the salary ranges of
certain job classifications to be in step with the State of California January 1, 2017, minimum wage, effective
March 1, 2017. This action directs the Human Resources Department to adjust and maintain the salary ranges of
current classifications as well as classifications that may be created during the term of this Resolution, to be in step
with the State of California Minimum wage through December 31, 2022.
In order to remain in step, job classes below the State of California minimum wage will be reallocated on the
salary schedule on January 1 of each year to set Step 1 of the salary range at the minimum wage. Additional steps
will be adjusted as needed to maintain the current percentage between steps with the exception of Step 2 of the
Title V Trainee which will retain a difference between steps of $1.00.
If a Memorandum of Understanding provides for a general negotiated salary increase (NSI), and such increase
would exceed the January 1 minimum wage, the salary range will be adjusted to the level it would have been as
the result of the NSI as though the January 1 minimum wage adjustment had not occurred.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved, Contra Costa County will not pay at least the State of California minimum wage.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $1,883. No fiscal impact to the County
General Fund. This position is funded in the Library Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Library carefully analyzed its current staffing levels within its Information Technology (IT) division and its
Personnel Services division and determined that certain position changes were needed. The vacant Network
Technician I position is no longer necessary in light of evolving technological advances and the June 2017 addition
of a Network Administrator I position that reports to the individual in charge of the Library's IT division. The Library
recommends that the Network Technician I position be canceled.
It has also been determined that the technical expertise of a Personnel Services II position is required to maintain
responsive personnel services within the department. Support needed includes centralized hiring and personnel
services coordination of over 150 Library Aide-Exempt positions, assistance with department-wide employee

Sergeant (BJTD) (represented) position at salary plan and grade QAH 1398 ($4,673 - $6,114).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, the cost of this action will be approximately $6,664 for fiscal year 2017/18 with pension costs of
$2,407 already included. This position will be funded by 32% User Fees, 31% City Revenue, and 37% County

BACKGROUND:
The Animal Services Sergeants play an important role in both leading and training the Animal Services Officers in
the Field Operations unit. The direction and guidance provided by the Sergeants are key components that contribute
to the success of our Animal Services Officers training. Sergeants also play a critical role in supporting Animal
Services Officers when they are: conducting field work or are out on Potentially Dangerous Animal (as defined by
Contra Costa County Ordinance 416-12.402) investigations and criminal cases; and engaging with the public.
The Animal Services Department is in the process of filling multiple Animal Services Officer vacancies, which will
require a significant amount of time dedicated to training once hired. In order to provide the proper guidance,

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Sergeants are unable to perform their normal duties in the field while they focus on training these new Officers,
which is a process that takes months. However, the current volume of work in the Field Operations unit is so great
that it would be detrimental if any of the Sergeants were to step away from their field duties. In order to maintain
operations and continue to provide necessary services in animal control, the department would like to cancel one
of their seven Animal Services Officer vacancies in order to add one Animal Services Sergeant position, whose
main function will be to train incoming Officers.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Animal Services Field Operations unit will lack the lead direction it needs and this may impact their
effectiveness in carrying out their assigned duties if this request is not approved.

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22194 to add one (1) full-time Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB)
(represented) position at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($2,993-$3,714) in the Office of the County Counsel.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $62,817 ($10,127 due to pension), and a
total cost this fiscal year of $36,643. The cost increase will be absorbed by client billings.
BACKGROUND:
Adding an additional Clerk Experienced Level position will help the office achieve greater efficiency by utilizing the
appropriate clerk level to perform a variety of entry level tasks not requiring a great deal of discretion and whose
office skills are commensurate with the recent reordering of current staff assignments. The County Counsel's Office is
organized into three (3) separate divisions. The General Law Division, the Tort and Civil Rights Litigation Division,
and the Juvenile Dependency Division. As of this date, all divisions are fully staffed. Prior

County
Subject:Add one full-time Clerk-Experienced Level position in the Office of the County Counsel
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 601
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to 2010, the General Law Division had four (4) clerical positions. During the Great Recession; the General Law
clerical staff was reduced to three (3) positions. Over the past seven (7) years this office has managed to support
between 14-17 General Law attorneys with three (3) clerical positions. There are now 19 General Law attorneys in
this division. We anticipate that the increased demand for support staff will continue for the foreseeable future as
we prepare to initiate new document and management retention protocols in an effort to streamline County
Counsel operations. The existing clerical staff is no longer sufficient to keep up with the attorneys' demand for
time-sensitive legal work. The attorney/clerk ratio of 6:1 is not sustainable without diminishing the quantity and
quality of our work. The additional Clerk Experienced Level position will restore the staffing levels in the General
Law division so that we can continue to efficiently address the County's legal needs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Denial of this request will perpetuate the day-to-day burden on the current clerical staffing and contribute to a
crisis-driven operation, to the detriment of this office and the officials, departments, agencies and special districts
that we serve.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22196 to establish the classification of Benefits System Administrator
(AGDG) (unrepresented) on the salary schedule at salary plan and grade B85 1001 ($7,700 - $10,319), add one (1)
Accounting Technician (JD7A) (represented) position at salary plan and grade 3RX 1236 ($4,043 - $5,163); and
reallocate the salary of the Human Resources Systems Analyst (AGSE) (unrepresented) classification from salary
plan and grade B85 1787 ($6,998 - $8,506) to salary plan and grade B85 1857 ($7,500 - $9116) in the Human
Resources Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Benefits System Administrator position was added to the Human Resources Department as part of Resolution
No. 2017/117 and included in the adoption of the FY 2017-2018 Budget. The annual cost of the position is
approximately $161,608, which includes an estimated pension cost of $26,053. The annual cost of the Accounting
Technician position is approximately $84,866, which includes an estimated pension cost of $13,681. The annual cost
of the reallocation of the salary for the Human Resources Systems Analyst classification will be $14,652 for two
positions, which includes an estimated pension cost of $4,131. The cost of this action will be offset by charges
through the Benefits Administration Fee except for approximately $7,326 which is within the Human Resources
Department FY 17-18 budget.

County
Subject:Establish the Classification of Benefits System Administrator; Add 1 Acctg Tech; Reallocate HR Systems Analyst
salary
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 606
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors authorized the addition of a Benefits Systems Administrator position in the Employee
Benefits Division in the 2017/18 budget to provide the technical expertise and oversight needed to support the new
functionality and increased complexity introduced with the upgrade to PeopleSoft 9.2. This action creates the
classification and establishes the salary range associated with the position.
In addition, additional accounting technician level assistance is needed to support the new PeopleSoft 9.2
functionality as well as the activities that transferred from Auditor-Controller to the Employee Benefits Division
following the upgrade.
Finally, a salary adjustment to Human Resources Systems Analyst is needed to address difficulties in recruiting
qualified candidates to maintain the increasingly complex system. The Human Resources Department has
recruited twice unsuccessfully to fill the position. A market survey found that the HR Systems Analyst is
approximately 11.5% below the median of $9,490.60 of the Bay Area counties. The classification was previously
aligned with Payroll Systems Administrator, which was adjusted earlier this year prior to recruiting to fill that
position. Although the median for HR Systems Analyst is $9,490.60, it is recommended that it be aligned with
Payroll Systems Administrator so as not to create internal inequity.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
For long-term continuity and cost-effectiveness, the ongoing maintenance and support of the system should
transition to County staff. If this action is not approved, the Human Resources Department will have to continue
to rely on costly outside consultants.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept
grant funding in an amount not to exceed $992,546 from California Department of Social Services to provide Housing
and Disability Advocacy Program services for the period beginning upon grant execution through June 30, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County will receive an amount not to exceed $992,546 from the California Department of Social Services grant
(100% State). One-to-one match requirement covered by County General Funds match from County General
Assistance Administration.
BACKGROUND:
The Housing and Disability Advocacy Program (HDAP) grant was initiated by the California Department of Social
Services to address the homeless population eligible for federal funds (SSI, SSDI, CAPI, and VA benefits) not
currently receiving benefits or aware of their eligibility. They will require global and local support, and resources to
complete the application and eligibility process for benefits. Outreach to the homeless population, including the
disabled, veterans, and Cash Assistance Program to Immigrants (CAPI) individuals, will be actively conducted by the
Health Services Department (HSD) staff and passively conducted by the Employment and Human Services
Department (EHSD) through the regular intake process. Those homeless individuals potentially qualified for services
will be assessed by HSD and referred to EHSD. Once enrolled in HDAP, active case management, advocacy, and
housing assistance services will attach. The goal is to provide HDAP services to 150 eligible individuals over the
3-year grant period.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Child Support Services, or designee, to execute an Amendment to the
Interagency Agreement with the Stanislaus County, a government agency, for their Department of Child Support
Services, to increase the payment limit by $20,000 to allow Stanislaus County to compensate Contra Costa County
for services rendered. The amendment increases the payment limit from $180,000 to $200,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Interagency Agreement Amendment will result in an increase of not to exceed $20,000 in payments
to the County (total contract amount not to exceed $200,000), for the provision of services during the term of the
agreement. No County matching funds required.
BACKGROUND:
The California State Department of Child Support Services has issued a statewide mandate for local child support
agencies to focus on early intervention efforts to prevent payment delinquency and increase collections. The
Department of Child Support Services has a contract with Maximus Human Services, Inc. to provide early
intervention services.The pricing structure in the County's contract with Maximus includes discounts based on the
volume of cases. Stanislaus County Department of Child Support Services has requested to submit their cases with
Contra Costa County to increase the volume of cases submitted and thereby reduce the per case cost. This is a
collaborative effort to address the State mandate and to accomplish this task in a cost efficient manner by leveraging
the buying power of multiple agencies.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/416 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant from

Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) Instruments beginning October 1, 2017 to the end of the grant period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Initial revenue of $660,100, 100% State funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff-Forensic Services Division (FSD) will use monies from the Office of
Traffic Safety Grant FFY2018 to purchase two gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) instruments, a liquid
chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) instrument and nitrogen generator. The FSD is an
accredited crime laboratory providing forensic services to more than 20 law enforcement agencies in the County. The
LC-MS/MS instrument will enable the laboratory to provide more meaningful information on driving under the
influence of drugs (DUID) and drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) cases without the need for outside testing.

Subject:State of California Office of Traffic Safety Grant
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 656
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the toxicology unit does not have up to date sensitive equipment to keep pace with current and future legislation
and drug trends. On January 1, 2014, changes to driving under the influence laws (Sections 23152 and 23153 of
the Vehicle Code) went into effect. With the prevalence of drivers driving under the influence on California roads
and highways rising, these changes were implemented in efforts for law enforcement to identify and ultimately
increase the prosecution of drug impaired driving cases. The section (e) that became operative on January 1, 2014
makes it unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any drug to drive a motor vehicle; this not only
includes illegal narcotics and stimulants, but also even legal prescriptions, herbs, and over-the-counter drugs. In
November 2016, California passed Proposition 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana Act) that allows adults age 21 and
over to possess, transport, purchase, consume and share up to one ounce of marijuana and eight grams of
marijuana concentrates. It is anticipated there will be an influx of marijuana analysis requests for “DUID” cases
Recently there has been increased forensic and public safety interest in newer or “emerging drugs” inclusive of
“bath salts”, synthetic cannabinoids and fentanyl analogs; a LC-MS/MS would enable the crime laboratory to
increase the variety of drugs that can be tested. This information will provide a comprehensive report to police
agencies and the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution purposes. The project objectives include: (1) purchase
and installation of two new GCMS instruments hardware and software which will be supported by the
manufacturer (2) Upon approval from NHTSA, purchase and installation of new LC-MS/MS instrument hardware
and software which will be supported by the manufacturer (3) installation of a Nitrogen generator to be used with
the LC-MS/MS instrument. • The anticipated outcomes of new GCMS and LC MS/MS instrumentation include:
(1) Replacing current instrumentation that is no longer supported by the manufacturer (2) Continue to provide
toxicology results to agencies for use in the criminal justice system (3) providing more meaningful information on
driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) and drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) cases to law enforcement
(4) increasing the variety of drugs tested at the crime laboratory
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The crime laboratory currently provides limited toxicology analysis which does not meet the needs of client
agencies. The current instrumentation is not adequate for current legislation related to driving under the influence
of drugs or potential per se drug laws in the future. The unit is limited in the scope of drugs that can be tested due
to inadequate instrumentation. To meet the needs of law enforcement agencies, many requests for analysis must
be sent to an accredited outside laboratory. Any analysis performed by an outside laboratory creates an increased
burden and cost to Contra Costa County law enforcement agencies and the District Attorney’s Office if the case is
prosecuted.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Defender, or designee, to apply and accept a grant in the amount of $12,500
from The California Endowment (TCE) for Clean Slate Outreach.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$12,500. This grant will fund the salary for one part-time (1) temporary clerk, for a nine-month period beginning in
January of 2018. There is no requirement for matching funds by the County, and these grants will not increase Net
County Cost.
BACKGROUND:
Clean Slate referrals have increased drastically since the passage of Proposition 47 in 2014 and again with the
passage of Prop 64 in 2016. As a result of our extensive community outreach, countywide Clean Slate events, and
partnership with community-based organizations, the number of requests we receive for both Clean Slate and Prop 47
assistance continue to be high. Our program's success expanding our community outreach and in obtaining Clean
Slate relief for our clients has helped facilitate their successful re-entry into the community and has helped clients
overcome barriers to employment, housing, public benefits, and more.
Conducting extensive Clean Slate outreach is also critical in order to reach those non-citizens eligible or Clean Slate
relief. For those who are not citizens even seemingly minor criminal convictions can have disastrous immigration
consequences, including immigration detention and deportation These concerns are not limited to undocumented
immigrant - any non-citizen can be at risk of deportation due to criminal system contact even longtime Lawful

Fortunately,
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 663
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in California there are many statutory or constitutional vehicles by which an individual with prior criminal contact or
convictions can petition the state court to provide post conviction relief, including new statutory remedies recently
enacted for the purpose of providing additional due process protections to immigrants. There are remedies that affect
an individual's actual and/or maximum sentence but do not actually eliminate the conviction for immigration
purpose, such as felony reduction to a misdemeanor under Proposition 47 or through Penal Code section 17(b) and
expungement dismissal under Penal ode section 1203.4. There are also remedies that eliminate or vacate a prior
conviction because they are based on ground of legal invalidity. For these newly enacted Clean Slate remedies for
immigrants, outreach and education to the community regarding the expanded types of remedies available is critical.
To relieve the immigration consequences of criminal conviction and to protect immigrants at risk of deportation, the
Office of the Public Defender will provide outreach and Clean Slate legal services that will eliminate or mitigate the
adverse immigration consequences that continue to tear apart immigrant families in Contra Costa County.
The goal of his grant is to staff community outreach events that provide Clean Slate services to immigrants ad to
connect eligible individuals with access to new post-conviction relief remedies in order t expand clean slate legal
services for immigrants in Contra Costa County. This will enable the Clean Slate team in the Public Defender's Office
to deploy new immigration Clean Slate remedies to provide critical-conviction relief o immigrants.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this grant is not authorized or accepted the Office of the Public Defender will not be able to effectively offer
comprehensive and holistic Clean Slate services to immigrants eligible for services in Contra Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Authorization and acceptance of this grant will give children who have non-citizen parents with prior criminal
contacts the chance at family stability through access to post-conviction relief remedies which can eliminate the
disastrous consequences of a parent's deportation on a child's development.

Subject:2018 Early Head Start Childcare Partnerships Grant Supplemental Funds
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 665
BACKGROUND:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) routinely provides expanded funding opportunities
throughout the program year. The Office of Head Start recognizes that grantees will identify needs for additional
funding during the initial implementation phase that were not apparent at the time of the initial award. The
Employment and Human Services Department has identified the need for additional funds to address health and
nutrition, disabilities and mental health, safety, and professional development for Early Head Start staff.
The Board approved submission of a grant application to ACF for Early Head Start Childcare Partnership grant
funds on August 16, 2016 (C.37). As a result, the County was awarded funding in an amount not to exceed
$6,250,000. This board order is to approve submission of a supplemental grant application for a final 6 month
budget period of March 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018 through the Early Head Start Childcare Partnership
Program #2. The application submittal was approved by the Head Start Policy Council on November 15, 2017,
and will be submitted to ACF on December 1, 2017.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, supplemental funding to operate the program will not be received.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment and Human Services Department’s Head Start program
supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School;
(3) Families that are Economically Self-sufficient; and (4) Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing. These
outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education,
nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.

Council, a state agency, in an amount not to exceed $26,250 for the County to provide advocacy for the advancement
of arts and the Poetry Out Loud program for the period October 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, the County will be receive up to $26,250 in grant funds to support art advancement programs.
California Arts Council grant requirements typically require a dollar-for-dollar match of which up to 50% can be
from in-kind goods and services and donations. Although the state has included an additional nine-month grant period
to the 2017-18 annual grant, match requirements for the funding period October 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 are
not included in the agreement. Should a match be required or benefit the County's position to apply for future
California Arts Council grants, it is anticipated that the fiscal year 2018-19 budget will include a General Fund
allocation for the Arts Commission and the Commission will be able to utilize in-kind resources available to offset
and meet the matching fund requirements of the grant. (100% State)

Subject:State-Local Partnership Grant Increase from the California Arts Council
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 672
BACKGROUND:
Established by the Board of Supervisors in December of 1994 as an official County commission and the authorized
County partner with the California Arts Council, the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5)
first applied for and received funding from the State-Local Partnership program in July 1995 for fiscal year
1995-1996. Since that time, the Board of Supervisors has designated and reaffirmed AC5 as the authorized partner of
the State-Local Partnership program of the California Arts Council. This designation allows the County to apply for
and accept funding from the State to enhance art and culture programs in the county.
The goals of the State-Local Partnership program are to promote public value of and participation in the arts; leverage
public and private support for the arts; encourage and promote arts in education; foster local and regional partnership
and collaboration; create, present, and preserve the arts of all cultures; promote inclusiveness and equity in the arts
for all communities; and encourage cultural development and preservation of California’s diverse communities.
On June 6, 2017, the Board authorized the County Administrator to apply for and accept grant funding from the
California Arts Council in an amount not to exceed $37,300 for the County to provide advocacy for the arts and the
Poetry Out Loud program for the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018. On October 17, 2017, the
County received grant award documents from the California Arts Council for a grant period of October 1, 2017
through June 30, 2019 for a total award amount of $58,016. This amount includes funding in the amount of $31,766
for the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 and $26,250 for the period October 1, 2018 through June
30, 2019. The agreement only requires a dollar-for-dollar match, of which up to 50% can be in-kind goods, services,
and donations, for the $31,766 and this is budgeted in fiscal year 2017-18.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the County will not accept and additional $26,250 in grant funding that supports the
advancement of arts and advocacy efforts of AC5.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 673
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Change Order No.1 with
Federal Solutions Group, for Job Order Contract 004, Aztec Consultants, for Job Order Contract 005, Mark Scott
Construction for Job Order Contract 006, and Anderson Group International for Job Order Contract 0007, to increase
the payment limit by $2,000,000, to a new maximum contract value of $4,500,000, as allowed by Public Contract
Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Projects under Job Order Contract 004, 005, 006, 007 are only issued when there is an approved project and funding.
The maximum contract value of $4.5 million per annual job order contract is a maximum limit based on Public
Contract Code Section 20128.5 (not actual appropriated dollars), and it is possible that the limit may not be reached.
Having this limit allows for efficiency and flexibility in accomplishing work up to the maximum statutory limit.
BACKGROUND:
To date, the Job Order Contracts (JOC) Program has been, and is anticipated to be, a valuable construction project
delivery tool for the term of the JOC contracts. Central to the JOC Program is that JOC contracts are
performance-based; and as contractors perform well and timely, they will be the more likely candidates for
consideration for future JOC Job Orders. Capital

December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 674
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Projects Division desires to increase the amount of JOC projects to be performed by Federal Solutions Group (JOC
004), Aztec Consultants (JOC 005), Mark Scott Construction (JOC 006), and Anderson Group International (JOC
007) since there is a great need to continue utilizing the existing JOC contracts.
On February 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Public Works Director, or designee, to solicit bids for
job order contracts for repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work, and bring to the board recommendations to
award four contracts. On February 17, 2017, bids were invited by the Public Works Director. On March 23, 2017, the
Public Works Director received 6 bids for the job order contracts. The scope of work for the work performed under
the JOC's will be determined by individual job orders using the Construction Task Catalog.
On April 18, 2017 job order construction contracts were awarded to the four lowest, responsive bidders: Federal
Solutions (JOC 004), Aztec (JOC 005), Mark Scott (JOC 006), and Anderson Group (JOC 007) for job orders under
the JOC's in amounts not less than $25,000 nor more than $2,500,000.
The Interim Public Works Director recommends the Board to approve Change Order No. 1 with Federal Solutions
Group, Aztec Consultants, Mark Scott Construction and Anderson Group in the amount of $2,000,000, to increase
the payment limit from $2,500,000 to a new maximum contract value of $4,500,000, as allowed by Public Contract
Code.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

FISCAL IMPACT:
This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services maintenance budget. (100% General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
Public Works Facilities Management is responsible for maintaining the grounds around County facilities. Tree
maintenance and trimming are an important part of this maintenance. The County does not currently have enough
staff to complete the amount of tree trimming required. If approved, The Professional Tree Care Company will assist
County staff in performing this maintenance. As bid on Bidsync # 1408-095, The Professional Tree Care Company
was the second lowest responsible and responsive vendor, and will become the secondary vendor for this commodity.
This request is for a six month extension to the three year contract.

purchase order to San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) for CCCWP’s portion of costs for the San Francisco Estuary
Regional Monitoring Program for Trace Substances (RMP) in the amount of $158,769, for monitoring of the San
Francisco Estuary as required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit issued by the San

stormwater discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Permit Program. The
United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "USEPA") published final rules implementing the 1987 CWA
amendments in November 1990. The rules mandate that Permittees obtain and implement stormwater permits
designed to reduce and eliminate the discharge of pollutants into and from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems
they own and operate. Through the CCCWP, Permittees conduct many of the mandated activities collectively, such
as water quality monitoring, special studies, and public education. The roles and responsibilities of the CCCWP and
Permittees are outlined in the Program Agreement, which was last updated and adopted by all Permittees in June
2010.
Flood Control and Water Conservation District staff, on behalf of the CCCWP, respectfully request approval of this
purchase order to SFEI for CCCWP’s portion of the cost of the San Francisco Estuary Regional Monitoring Program
for Trace Substances (RMP) in the amount of $158,769.00.
CCCWP’s participation in the RMP allows it to comply with the NPDES permit requirement that the Permittees
participate in implementing an estuary receiving water monitoring program, that is at a minimum equivalent to the
San Francisco Estuary Regional Monitoring Program for Trace Substances (RMP), by contributing their fair-share
financially on an annual basis. SFEI conducts the RMP on behalf of several Bay Area counties, cities, as well as
private stormwater permittees. This Purchase Order would fulfill the Permittees’ required estuary receiving water
monitoring for Calendar Year 2018 (January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Purchase Order with the SFEI for the RMP is not approved, the CCCWP and Permittees would not be able to
fulfill the required San Francisco Estuary monitoring, and Permittees would be found in non-compliance and subject
to fines and penalties issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, and third party citizen
suits allowed under the CWA.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to purchase Target gift
cards in the amount of $7,500 (500 cards at $15.00/each) to use as incentives for consumer participation as allowed
under Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA).
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funded by MHSA -Proposition 63.
BACKGROUND:
Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act, was passed by voters on November 2, 2004. This proposition
imposes an additional 1% tax on taxable personal income above $1 million to provide dedicated funding for
expansion of mental health services and programs.
Gift cards are provided to mental health consumers and family members as an incentive for ongoing and meaningful
participation and involvement as full partners in the MHSA planning processes, from the inception of the planning
through implementation and evaluation of identified activities. State Department of Mental Health Letter Number
05-01 requires the participation of mental health consumers and family members in this process. Additionally,
counties must continue to be engaged in ongoing community planning processes for MHSA annual plan updates and
for any new MHSA plan. As such, in order to obtain broader stakeholder input, gift cards allow the county to provide
a way to reward those mental health consumers and their family members who so willingly volunteer many hours to
participate in the myriad MHSA planning processes.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Gift cards enable volunteer participants to cover the expenses of their transportation to and from planning meetings
and also covers the expenses of their meals when they need to be away from home. The gift cards allow the county to
relieve the financial burden of those volunteer mental health consumer and family members who may not have the
extra funds to allow their participation. The gift cards will be administered in accordance with the requirements
outlined in Administrative Bulletin #615.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If there are no incentives available, consumers and family member participation and involvement will decrease

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract with Kronos in the
amount of $1,250,427 to provide automated timekeeping hardware, software, professional consultation and staff
training for the Time and Labor Management/Hosting Project for the period December 15, 2017 through December
14, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract cost comprises professional and educations in the amount of $117,427.50, which is budgeted under Org
#1695 for fiscal year 17/18. Also included in the contract is hosting services in the amount of $226,599.96 per year,
or $1,132,999.80 for five years. An appropriation exists for the hosted service and will be budgeted under Org #1695
for the next five fiscal years, supported through countywide interdepartmental charges.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County currently uses Kronos Workforce Central Timekeeper version 3.4, which was implemented in
2003. Kronos Timekeeper is used to collect employees’ time data. The data is manually entered each pay period from
all departments, and then interface programs transmit the extracted data to the PeopleSoft Payroll System for the
processing of pay. The aging Kronos Timekeeping system is on premise with the County and is becoming unstable.
The current version of Timekeeper is no longer supported and the hardware, operating system, and database versions
required to support it are no longer supported. The County has recognized that continuing to rely upon unsupported
technology puts the County at risk.

Subject:Kronos Workforce Software Upgrade
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 730
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
The Steering Committee decided to upgrade the timekeeping system from version 3.4 to version 8 and, in addition, to
migrate the system from being located on-premises to a hosted solution based on a variety of factors, including cost
savings, IT staffing and technical factors. The Steering Committee includes representatives from departments
responsible for the administration of personnel, pay, and benefits (the County Administrator, County Finance
Director, Human Resources Director, Auditor-Controller, and Director of Information Technology or designee).
Currently, County employees use many different methods for recording time including time cards, time sheets, 3-part
forms, homegrown electronic systems, and purchased systems. Often, employees must predict their time near the end
of the pay period, necessitating corrections later. Employees do not have easy access to their own data, so they must
ask payroll clerks for the information. Managers cannot easily reconcile schedules with worked time or time off or
reliably and easily track attendance issues, etc. Payroll clerks are tasked with interpreting time cards and entering data
manually into the Kronos system, which is not configured with automatic pay rules — a process that is prone to
errors.
Because of competing IT projects, the County has limited resources and has expressed their desire to keep their
business processes as close to existing (above) as they are now; but, utilize current technology to mitigate risk. Rapid
Data Entry, as developed by the County, is not compatible with newer versions of Workforce Timekeeper. Therefore,
the County is exploring third-party options to replace this functionality.
Kronos workforce management solutions provide streamlined, automated tools to help track time and attendance,
analyze and diagnose payroll issues, reduce manual administrative tasks, and uncover costs associated with
over-payments and system abuse. To meet the County's business requirements, Kronos will:
Implement Workforce Timekeeper v.8 with integration to PeopleSoft, using existing integration as a template,
and Cleverant, a third-party, (or internally developed) rapid data entry solution in the Kronos Cloud
Provide consulting to accelerate the testing of the new Workforce Timekeeper solution
Provide training to the County's core project team and system administrators
Provide on-site training to departmental timekeepers
Kronos’ national hosting services provide a cost-effective way for the county to gain the benefits of time and labor
management systems and IT capabilities without the associated overhead costs. Contra Costa can focus on our
strategic initiatives while outsourcing the vital, nonstrategic business applications to Kronos. Kronos’s hosting
solution includes several benefits:
No hardware or software to purchase, which eliminates capital expenses
Rapid deployment without putting a strain on our IT resources
Reduced risk of technological obsolescence
The software and services will be purchased through the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance, in
which the County participates. The County is agreeing to the terms and conditions contained in the contract between
Kronos and Harford County Public Schools, Maryland (Lead Agency Contract #14-JLR-003). The software is hosted
by Kronos, which means the software and timekeeping data are stored on Kronos’ servers or its third-party hosts’
servers. The contract provides that data will be backed up daily and adheres to industry standards (SSAE 16, SOC 1,
and SOC 2) with respect to data security.
In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 616.0, County Departments are required to obtain Board approval for
the purchase of software that costs more than $100,000 (including any related maintenance, licensing and support
service). The County Administrator's Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the contract will result in an inability to update the County's current version of its timekeeping
system will increase the risk that the County will be unable to process employee Payroll timely and accurately.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE agreement to continue Contra Costa's participation in "Delta Counties", for an additional three year
period through January 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The participant counties share the costs of the coordinator position at $35,000 each. (100% General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
The Delta Counties Coalition includes the counties of Sacramento, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Solano,and Yolo. The
Coalition was formed by agreement on January 1, 2015 to fund a support position to facilitate the counties'
engagement in the Bay Delta Conservation Plan and other matters related the to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River
Delta and water supply. The original agreement was for a twelve month period and included terms for two additional
twelve month extensions through January 2018. The amendment agreement will extend the term through January
2021.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contra Costa will not benefit from engagement in the Bay Delta Conservation Plan and other water related issues.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONTINUE the emergency actions originally taken by the Board of Supervisors effective January 19 and February
14, 2017 regarding the hazardous conditions caused by a series of severe rainstorms in Contra Costa County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is necessary to maintain eligibility for Contra Costa County and its cities to receive disaster relief funds to
cover costs of the emergency response and damage repairs needed as a result of the significant storm events in early
January 2017 that continued into February. The initial damage estimates for the County from the January 6 -10, 2017
storms are estimated at $9.5 million; additional damage from the February storms has not yet been estimated. The
County does not currently have funds designated for the response and repair of the storm damages and has, therefore,
applied for relief funds.
BACKGROUND:
Conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within the County, caused by a series of
severe rainstorms that began in January 2017 and have continued into February, and have led to widespread flooding,
mudslides, sinkholes and damage to public buildings, flood control facilities and roadways, including the collapse of
a portion of Alhambra Valley Road at Pinole Creek, caused by a massive sinkhole. Due to the continued rains and
saturated soil conditions, a portion of Morgan Territory Road, approximately one mile south of Marsh Creek Road in
unincorporated Contra Costa County, began showing signs of sliding during the week of February 20. The movement
caused a break in the existing water line and the slide has continued, cracking the road surface to the point that the
road is no longer passable. Residents to the south of the slide location are now required to travel south to Livermore

as their only access option. To address the emergency situation, the Board of Supervisors is exploring alternate
access routes while Morgan Territory Road remains closed. The repair work to Morgan Territory Road will require
removal of debris, excavation, installation of a structural retaining wall system, backfill, construction of embankment,
new pavement, and pavement striping.
These conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the
County. The initial damage estimate encompasses the County’s response and cleanup of various sites throughout the
county and estimated costs to repair damages from the storm. The estimate includes road infrastructure, flood control
infrastructure, public building facilities and park and recreation facilities. The majority of the damage occurred on or
along rural county roads. The largest and most significant damage occurred on Alhambra Valley Road at Pinole
Creek, and on Morgan Territory Road in Clayton, where there were washouts of the roads. Flood control
infrastructure also experienced storm related damage. Public building and park facilities suffered minimal impact
from the storm. A slideshow illustrating the storm damage can be accessed at this link: January 2017 Storm Damage
Slideshow .
The effects of the storms continue to be dynamic. Since the Board's original emergency declaration of January 19,
Public Works Department crews have been responding to isolated mudslides, localized flooding, downed trees and
drainage issues throughout the county, along with intermittent road closures including Marsh Creek Road, Morgan
Territory Road, and a partial closure at Alhambra Valley Road at Ferndale Road. There have additionally been
isolated issues related to County buildings/facilities including 50 Douglas Drive, 12000 Marsh Creek Rd (Detention
Facility) and the County Hospital. Public Works crews continue to respond to items as they are reported. On March 7,
2017, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency and authorized the Public Works Director to proceed in
the most expeditious manner with the Morgan Territory Road slide repair project.
Government Code Section 8630 requires that, for a body that meets weekly, the need to continue the emergency
declaration be reviewed at least every 30 days until the local emergency is terminated, which shall occur at the
earliest possible date that conditions warrant. Since the conditions that warranted proclamations of an emergency
persist, it is appropriate for the Board to continue the local emergency actions regarding the hazardous conditions
caused by storm damage.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2017/404, the proclamation of local emergencies by the Board of Supervisors on January
19 and February 14, 2017 (Resolutions No. 2017/404 and 2017/65) cannot remain in effect more than 30 days unless
they are reviewed and continued by the Board of Supervisors.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the non-financial Memorandum of Understanding between the Workforce Development Board of Contra
Costa County and the One-Stop America's Job Center of California partners and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of
Supervisors to sign the memorandum.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires the public workforce system to align investments in
workforce, education, and economic development with regional in-demand jobs. It focuses on the importance of
providing customers access to high quality One-Stop Centers to connect individuals with the full range of services
available in their communities. In order to establish or enhance collaboration among community partners, WIOA
requires local Workforce Development Boards (WDBs), with the agreement of the chief elected official, to develop
Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with all America's Job Center of California (AJCC) required partners.
The State identified two separate phases of the MOU development. Phase 1 identified shared customers and shared
services, and addressed service coordination and collaboration amongst partners. Phase II, which has been agreed
upon by all partners, addresses how to sustain the unified system through the use of resource sharing and joint
infrastructure cost funding. Phase I has been completed and sent forward to the State.

comprehensive career centers shall share the non-personnel costs necessary for general operation of each
comprehensive AJCC. While only co-located partners share infrastructure costs, all AJCC partners shall share
costs (including applicable career services identified in WIOA Section 13 (c) (2) that are delivered by the AJCC
required partners as authorized under their programs including basic center services, individualized career
services, and follow-up services.
All mandated partners have agreed upon a cost methodology in compliance with with MOU Phase II
requirements. A cost sharing agreement has been signed by all co-located partners.

APPROVE the delegation of authority to the County Treasurer for investing and reinvesting County funds and the
funds of other depositors in the County treasury, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased, pursuant to section
53607 of the State Government Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County Treasurer manages and invests the funds of all County agencies, 21 Special Districts, 19 School Districts
and one Community College District. Centralizing this function creates a dedicated staff of investment professionals
and creates greater efficiency, economies of scale and greater investment power.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract
#23-495-2 with Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, (dba Kaiser Permanente –Walnut Creek), a non-profit corporation, to
act as a designated center to assist patients who have been assessed by ambulance personnel with a suspected stroke,
for the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a non-financial agreement. Emergency Medical Service (EMS) staff costs to be covered under County Service
Area EM-1 and charges to participating hospitals.
BACKGROUND:
In collaboration with hospitals, fire first-responders and emergency ambulance services, Contra Costa Emergency
Medical Care Committee, and the Contra Costa Stroke Advisory Committee, Contra Costa EMS has been working
towards implementation of a program that will provide quicker access to definitive care for patients with symptoms
of acute stroke. Strokes occur when blood flow to the brain has been disrupted due to a blockage in a vessel
(ischemic stroke) or bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Research has shown significant reduction in mortality
and morbidity when stroke patients are identified in the field and transported, with advance notification, to a hospital
staffed and equipped to provide rapid stoke care. A nationally-recognized goal is to

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT report on the Fiscal Year 2016/17 and 2017/18 budgets for County contributions to the Contra Costa
Transportation Authority, the Congestion Management Agency for the County, and the Regional Transportation
Planning Committees, and APPROVE County contributions toward these budgets.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. The County contribution to the Congestion Management Agency and the Regional
Transportation Planning Committees is accounted for and funded from the annual operating budgets approved by the
Board of Supervisors for the Public Works Department and the Department of Conservation and Development, using
gas tax and Measure J Return-to-Source revenue.
BACKGROUND:
The agreement that created the County's Congestion Management Agency (CMA) requires referral of its budget to the
member jurisdictions. The Regional Transportation Planning Committees (RTPCs) were established by the County
and the cities to facilitate cooperative multi-jurisdictional transportation planning in the four subregions of the
County, pursuant to the Measure J Transportation Improvement and Growth Management Program. Some RTPCs
require member jurisdictions to review their proposed annual budgets. The Board has taken these actions annually for
many years but FY 2016/2017 was missed by staff.

December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 754
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
This Board Order also reports on the budgeted financial contribution from Contra Costa County to the CMA and
the RTPCs for FYs 2016/17 and 2017/18. Exhibit "A" compares the proposed County contribution for FYs
2016/17 and 2017/18 to previous years’ budgets for the different planning entities.
Contra Costa Transportation Authority
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (Authority) was created in 1988 to manage funds generated by a
special half-cent transportation sales tax ("Measure C") which was approved by voters to fund local transportation
projects. The Authority also administers the related voter-approved growth management program requirements.
Measure J extended this sales tax and growth management program to 2034. In 1992, the County and the cities
entered into a Joint Powers Agreement to designate the Authority as the County's CMA, pursuant to Proposition
111 (1990). Although California law no longer requires each county to have a designated CMA, the local
jurisdictions have continued to support the CMA to facilitate the receipt and expenditure of state and federal
transportation funds administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).
Contra Costa County's annual contribution to the CMA is based on two components: 1) the formula [population
and road miles] used by the State to distribute Proposition 111 gas tax revenue to cities and counties, and 2) the
amount of state and federal revenue received by CCTA to fund CMA functions. CCTA primarily uses federal
(Surface Transportation Program, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) and state (State Transportation
Planning, Programming, and Monitoring Program) revenues to fund CMA activities. If these revenues are not
sufficient member agencies contribute the balance based on the aforementioned formula. As seen in the attached
spreadsheet, local contributions are estimates due to the inability to accurately project fluctuating federal and state
revenues.
For FY 2016/17, the Authority’s budget was $209,939,317. The County contribution was $188,652, an $86,937
increase over the previous year’s $101,715 contribution (approximately an 85% increase). The Authority’s
Proposed Planning Section Budget for fiscal year FY 2017/18 was $5 million. The highlights of the
Planning/CMA budget include:
$0.3 million for public outreach related to the 2017 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) and the
development of a new transportation expenditure plan;
$0.1 million to update the Action Plans to address SB 743 (2013 – CEQA: Level of Service to Vehicle
Miles Traveled) requirements;
$0.16 million for Congestion Management Program (CMP) support and monitoring;
$0.14 million for the completion of the Countywide Express Bus Study, Safe Routes to School (SR2S)
Needs Assessment and Real Time Ride Sharing studies and programs;
$0.15 million for the completion of the 2017 CTP Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR); and
$1.5 million for Priority Development Area (PDA) related planning studies managed by CCTA on behalf of
the MTC.
For FY 2017/18, the Authority’s budget is $184,508,140. The County contribution is $193,431, a $4,779 increase
over last year’s $188,652 contribution (approximately a 2.5% increase). The Authority’s Proposed Planning
Section Budget for fiscal year FY 2017/18 is $3.5 million. The CMA budget was circulated to the Public
Managers Association which approved it on April 13, 2017. The highlights of the Planning/CMA budget include:
$150,000 to update the Action Plans to address SB 743 (2013) requirements;
$275,000 for Growth Management Program (GMP), project modeling and ongoing planning support;
$232,000 for CMP support, modeling, and monitoring;
$215,000 for the completion of the Countywide Express Bus Study and Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan;
$30,000 for the completion of the CTP Update and EIR; and
$700,000 for PDA-related planning studies managed by the Authority on behalf of the MTC.

Administrative support, currently provided by contracting with the City of San Ramon, consists of compiling andDecember 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 755
Administrative support, currently provided by contracting with the City of San Ramon, consists of compiling and
distributing agendas, staff support at Committee meetings, providing summaries of each meeting, and
coordinating the SWAT Technical Advisory Committee. SWAT is funded by equal contributions from the six
participating jurisdictions. At the beginning of each billing period, which mirrors the fiscal year, SWAT provides
an estimated annual budget and member jurisdiction dues, which for the past few years has been $32,500, with the
County member dues $5,417. However, SWAT is unique among the RTPCs in that the jurisdictions are billed the
actual annual member dues at the end of the billing period. For FY 2016/17, the actual SWAT budget was
$32,500 and the actual County member dues were $5,417, both the same as the estimated budget and member
dues. For FY 2017/18, the SWAT budget and County member dues are estimated to remain at $32,500 and
$5,417 respectively.
Transportation Partnership and Cooperation (TRANSPAC) Committee
TRANSPAC is the RTPC established for the jurisdictions in North-Central Contra Costa. A Managing Director,
who is contracted by TRANSPAC, provides administrative support. Half of the annual cost to fund TRANSPAC
operations is apportioned equally to the six participating jurisdictions, while the other half is apportioned based on
the jurisdictions’ share of population and road mileage in the TRANSPAC area. For FY 2016/17, the total
TRANSPAC budget was $204,222. The County member dues for TRANSPAC were $31,867. For FY 2017/18,
the total TRANSPAC budget is $229,956. The County member dues for TRANSPAC are $35,196.
Transportation Planning Committee for East Contra Costa County (TRANSPLAN)
TRANSPLAN Committee is the RTPC established for jurisdictions in Eastern Contra Costa. The Department of
Conservation and Development provides the administrative support to the TRANSPLAN Committee, pursuant to
a joint powers agreement that funds staff time and materials. The budget provides for administrative support to
the TRANSPLAN Committee and its technical advisory committee, staff support to represent the Committee
before other entities, and the ability to carry out the decisions of the Committee. The budget is funded by equal
contributions from the five participating jurisdictions. The total TRANSPLAN budget for FY 2016/17 was
$34,546. The County member dues were $6,909. The total FY 2017/18 TRANSPLAN budget is $23,000. A
surplus of $10,525 was carried over from FY 2016/17, resulting in a difference of $12,475. The County member
dues for TRANSPLAN are $2,495.
Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC)
TVTC, consisting of Contra Costa County and Alameda County jurisdictions in the Tri-Valley area, adopted a
Joint Exercise of Powers (JEPA) agreement in 2013, formally establishing it as an independent entity.
Responsibility for administrative support rotates annually among the participating jurisdictions. TVTC’s budget
for FY 2016/17 was $98,233. TVTC’s budget for FY 2017/18 is $55,500. Budget revenues are generated from an
average annual 1% "set aside" of the subregional transportation development impact fees and cover the agency's
normal operating expenditures. Thus, the County does not contribute to TVTC.
West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC)
WCCTAC is the RTPC established for jurisdictions and transit agencies in West Contra Costa. WCCTAC has its
own dedicated staff, headed by an executive director. WCCTAC's full budget includes the budget for WCCTAC
Operations (Advisory Committee), WCCTAC Traffic Demand Management (TDM), and WCCTAC Sub-regional
Transportation Mitigation Program (STMP). The full WCCTAC budget has risen over the last couple of years due
to the undertaking of the High-Capacity Transit Study and funding several STMP projects. Member jurisdiction
dues support WCCTAC Operations. WCCTAC consists of nine member jurisdictions, each with one seat/vote,
except the City of Richmond, which has three, for eleven total seats/votes. The member jurisdiction dues is
determined by dividing the WCCTAC Operations budget (after deductions from other funding sources) by the
number of seats held; therefore, the County pays one-eleventh (9.1%) of WCCTAC's Operations budget. The FY
2016/17 full budget for WCCTAC was $4,705,907. The County member dues were $39,675. For FY 2017/18,
WCCTAC’s full budget is $4,002,460, and the County member dues are $42,772.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the report is not accepted, County staff will follow up with a request for direction on how to fulfill our fiscal
and policy obligations relative to funding the Congestion Management Agency and the Regional Transportation
Planning Committees.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONTINUE the emergency action originally taken by the Board of Supervisors on November 16, 1999 regarding the
issue of homelessness in Contra Costa County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the provisions of
Government Code Section 8630 on homelessness in Contra Costa County.
Government Code Section 8630 requires that, for a body that meets weekly, the need to continue the emergency
declaration be reviewed at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated. In no event is the review to
take place more than 21 days after the previous review. On November 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors reviewed
and approved the emergency declaration. Since the Board meetings on November 21st and 28th were cancelled and
the next available Board meeting is December 5, 2017, the time between board orders exceeded 21 days.
With the continuing high number of homeless individuals and insufficient funding available to assist in sheltering all
homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for the Board to continue the declaration of a local emergency
regarding homelessness.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE recommended changes to the Integrated Pest Management Policy and Advisory Committee bylaws as
illustrated in Attachment A.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past few years, changes in the County have made it necessary to revise the County’s IPM Policy and the
IPM Advisory Committee’s bylaws.
The General Services Department was subsumed under the Public Works Department.1.
The Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board (PEHAB) was abolished by the Board on November
15, 2016.
2.
On February 13, 2017 the Internal Operations Committee replaced the PEHAB seat on the IPM Advisory
Committee with a seat for a representative of the County’s Sustainability Commission.
3.
This year, the IPM Committee found it necessary to change its meeting date and the time when it elects its officers.
These items needed to be reflected in the bylaws.
The amended bylaws and IPM Policy were approved by the IPM Advisory Committee on March 16, 2017, and by
the Internal Operations Committee on November 9, 2017. The Internal Operations Committee additionally

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT POLICY
October 2017
To protect public health, county resources and the environment it will be the policy of Contra Costa
County to manage pests within county pest management programs in and on county maintained
properties and facilities, using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles and techniques.
The mission is to promote the combined use of physical, cultural, biological and chemical control
methods to effectively manage pests with minimal risk to humans and the environment.
For the purposes of this policy the County adopts the Integrated Pest Management definition provided
by the University of California Statewide IPM Project: Integrated Pest Management is an ecosystem-
based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination
of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and
use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates that they are needed
according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target
organisms. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human
health, to beneficial and non-target organisms, and to the environment.
The goals of this countywide policy are to:
1. Minimize risks to the general public, staff and the environment as a result of pest control
activities conducted by County staff and contractors.
2. Create, implement and periodically review written IPM plans in the Agriculture, Health,
and Public Works Departments specific to their operational needs and consistent with the
U.C. definition above and this policy.
3. Promote availability, public awareness and public input into written county pest
management plans and records.
4. Create public awareness of IPM through education.
To achieve these goals the County has established the following objectives
1. Require County departments to routinely use Integrated Pest Management.
2. Require County pest control contracts to incorporate County IPM policies and practices.
3. Require Departments to report annually on the development and implementation of IPM
programs.
4. Maintain a County IPM Coordinator position that reports to the County Administrator and
Board of Supervisors.
5. Maintain an IPM Advisory Committee that provides advice to the Board of Supervisors
and assists Departments in reviewing pest control alternatives and related costs or
impacts.
6. Provide annual IPM training and outreach programs to address the needs of County
Departments and employees.

IPM Advisory Committee 11/3/17
Changes to IPM Policy and Committee bylaws Page 2
Require County Departments to Routinely Use Integrated Pest Management:
The Agriculture, Health and Public Works Departments who use pest management techniques
when providing services are required to develop a written IPM Plan, or its equivalent, and
designate an IPM Coordinator responsible for implementation.
Require County Pest Control Contracts to Incorporate County IPM Policies and
Practices
All County Departments that contract for pest management services will insure that County IPM
policies and practices are adhered to by all licensed pest control contractors performing work on
county maintained properties and facilities.
Require Departments to Report Annually on the Development and Implementation of
IPM Programs.
It is understood that development and implementation of IPM programs will take time. Department
IPM Coordinators will prepare annual reports on department pest control activities to the County
Administrator. The department annual reports will be reviewed by the IPM Advisory Committee.
The IPM Advisory Committee shall compile the information into an annual report that will be
submitted to the County Administrator and the Board of Supervisors.
Maintain a County IPM Coordinator Position that Reports to the Board of Supervisors.
In recognition that development, implementation and oversight of a County IPM Program require
allocation of resources, the position of County IPM Coordinator has been established and funded.
The County IPM Coordinator serves as a resource for Department Heads to insure compliance
with the County IPM policy. The County IPM Coordinator is required to serve as staff to the IPM
Advisory Committee to assist Department Heads in identifying priorities and in acquiring data to
properly evaluate pest control needs and appropriate solutions.
The County IPM Coordinator will provide an annual update to the County Fish and Wildlife
Committee.
Maintain an IPM Advisory Committee that Provides Advice to the Board of Supervisors
and Assists Departments in Reviewing Pest Control Alternatives and Related Costs or
Impacts.
An IPM Advisory Committee has been created. The Advisory Committee will serve as a resource
to help both Department Heads and the Board of Supervisors review and improve existing
programs and the processes used for making pest management decisions.
The membership of the Committee shall be composed of the following:
1. Four (4) ex-officio, non-voting members as follows:
a. Agricultural Commissioner, or designee
b. Public Works Facilities Maintenance Manager, or designee
c. Public Works Deputy Director, or designee
d. A current Structural Pest Management contractor with General Services Department
2. Eight (8) voting members as follows:
a. Two (2) ex-officio members:
i. Health Services Department representative
ii. County/Unincorporated County Storm Water Program representative
b. Six (6) public members:
i. County Sustainability Commission representative
ii. County Fish and Wildlife Committee representative
iii. Three (3) Type 2, “At Large Appointments,”

iv. One (1) Type 3, “At Large Appointment,” for an environmental organization with
either 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) status
3. One (1) Type 3, “At Large Appointment” for a Public Member – Alternate.
The IPM Advisory Committee may form subcommittees of its members to research and explore
specific issues that come before the Committee. The goal of a subcommittee is to provide a
working forum for interaction and for information exchange among experts and staff focusing on
issues needing in-depth consideration.
The IPM Advisory Committee may use Technical Advisory Committees to develop information
regarding pest control decisions. The IPM Technical Advisory Committee may include
representatives from the East Bay Regional Park District, Contra Costa Mosquito & Vector Control
District, Contra Costa Water District, the University of California Cooperative Extension, Pesticide
Applicators Professional Association and/or Pest Control Operators of California and other
appropriate representatives with expertise in a specific field.
Information regarding preferred pest control solutions must include data regarding comparative
efficacy, cost, environmental impact and hazards to the public and applicator. Information and
recommendations must be based on the best science available.
The IPM Advisory Committee will also work with the County IPM Coordinator to develop IPM
training programs for County Departments and their employees to assist in compliance with the
county’s IPM policy. Additional support could also be provided to County Departments who wish to
develop public outreach programs to address environmental and public health concerns.
Provide Annual IPM Training and Outreach Programs to Address the Needs of County
Departments and Employees.
Training programs will be developed under the direction of County IPM Coordinator with the
concurrence of the IPM Advisory Committee to ensure that County employees understand IPM
techniques and County policy. Utilizing resources such as the U.C. Pest Management Guidelines
that have been developed by the University of California Statewide IPM Program, training classes
on integrated pest management techniques will be developed and made available for County
employees.
Public outreach programs to address environmental and health concerns will also be developed to
complement existing county programs.

Referral History:
Board of Supervisors
On April 12, 2016 the Board of Supervisors received a report from the Departments of Public Works and
Conservation and Development regarding the concept of a Multi-Use Trail along the Marsh Creek Corridor
and took the following actions, 1) RECEIVE report, 2) ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/326 supporting
exploration of the concept of the Marsh Creek Corridor Multi-Use Trail, and supporting efforts to identify and
secure funding for this project; 3) In collaboration with other proponents of the concept, ADVOCATE for
support and funding for the Marsh Creek Corridor Multi-Use Trail, including study and potential
implementation, in local, state, and federal transportation, recreation, park, and open space funding efforts and
REQUEST consideration of the Marsh Creek Multi-use Trail in the sales tax matter currently under
consideration by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority; 4) DIRECT staff to refine the preliminary budget
and develop a scope of work for the feasibility analysis and AUTHORIZE staff to work with other prospective
project partners to seek funding opportunities.
Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee (TWIC)
At the October 9, 2017 TWIC meeting staff brought a report with the following recommendations, "RECEIVE
update on the proposed Marsh Creek Corridor Multi-Use Trail Study, and DIRECT staff as appropriate."
The draft record from the discussion:
Staff was directed to to address the following concerns and issues: develop a strategy and
Request for Proposal/Scope of Work that would increase the likelihood of the project
moving
ahead expeditiously, ensure that the East Bay Regional Park District and the East Contra
Costa County Habitat Conservancy are active partners, establish a study budget which
clearly funds the local match, and return to the Committee for approval to proceed.
Referral Update:
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 773
This report is intended to respond to 1) the concerns raised at October 2017 TWIC meeting {discussed above},
and 2) the direction in the Board of Supervisor's (BOS) Resolution 2016/326 {specifically "...refine the
preliminary budget and develop a scope of work..."}.
In addition to responding to the direction described above, staff has become aware of available funding
through several grant programs and is requesting that TWIC recommend that the BOS approve submission of
grants to a] Caltrans under the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program, b] the Coastal
Conservancy under the Proposition 1 Grant (multi-benefit ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration
projects) Program, and c] the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) under the Priority Conservation
Area grant program.
Project Background
Marsh Creek Road is a popular commute and recreational route for bicyclists traveling between Central
County and East County in spite of the lack of bicycle facilities. In 2015 and 2016, the Public Works
Department (PWD) and Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) staff initiated exploration of the
general concept of a multi-use non-motorized trail along the Marsh Creek Corridor. The proposed trail would
run from an existing Class II bicycle facility in Clayton to the Round Valley Regional Preserve, where it would
connect to a proposed extension of the existing Marsh Creek Trail. Completion of the multi-use trail along the
Marsh Creek Corridor would result in one continuous non-motorized facility from Concord to the Delta
Shoreline. A more complete project description and map is attached, One-Pager-Marsh Creek Corridor
Multi-Use Trail.pdf.
As detailed at the bottom of this report, the project has support from interested and impacted agencies
including four cities, the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), Save Mount Diablo, and the East Contra
Costa County Habitat Conservancy (ECCCHC). This support is in addition to adopted policy support in the
Contra Costa County General Plan and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's Countywide Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan (MCT_Support_Docs.pdf).
From a positive public investment perspective, the project will leverage what are, and will be, sunk costs
resulting from the active and planned acquisition and restoration activities in the corridor. Save Mount Diablo,
the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy, and the EBRPD are actively acquiring and restoring creek
and roadside parcels in the corridor.
Project Development - Update
Consistent with the BOS direction, PWD and DCD staff have refined a scope-of-work for the feasibility study
(Attached 11-1-17 Marsh Creek Trail Scope of Work - Draft.pdf) and are requesting:
1) authorization from TWIC and the BOS to apply for grants that would, if successful, replace the
Livable Communities Trust Fund contribution in the funding package identified below, and
2) authorization to develop and release a Request for Proposals to select a consultant to conduct
the study.
After reviewing comparable studies, staff estimates that the necessary work can be completed at a cost of
$300,000. The scope-of-work includes a number of tasks to be completed, including data collection, public
outreach, identification and analysis of alternatives, and ultimately, a feasibility analysis consistent with
original BOS direction. The project currently has the following fund sources identified that are sufficient to
fund the Study:
• District 3: Committed $250,000 from the from its Livable Communities Trust (LCT) Fund.
• East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy: $25,000 from Restoration Planning Funds
• Public Works Department: $25,000 from the Road Fund (gas tax) budget, Advance Planning line item.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 774
The intent is to have either the Caltrans, Coastal Conservancy, or MTC grant replace the $250,000 LCT funds.
In the event these applications are unsuccessful, staff will proceed with the RFP and study using the fund
sources identified above.
Local Match for Grants
Caltrans - Senate Bill 1 Grant: A $200,000 grant under the Sustainable Transportation program would
require a $26,000 local match. The ECCCHC funds would cover the majority of the match. Non SB1 Gas tax
is ineligible for use as match, staff recommends District 3 LCT funds be used for the remainder.
Coastal Conservancy Grant - Proposition 1: No local match is required but it does count towards
points on the application. From the grant application: "Projects that have at least 25% matching funds will
receive 3 points. Projects with greater than 50% matching funds will receive 5 points."
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)/Coastal Conservancy - Priority
Conservation Area (PCA) Grant: No information has been published on this grant program at the time
this staff report is being published. However, communication with MTC staff indicates that a Request for
Proposal should be released by the end of year. The administration of the grant is not clear yet, while the
funding may come from MTC, the grant may be administered by the Coastal Conservancy.
If TWIC approves the recommendations of this report, staff will begin a phased preparation of the Caltrans,
Coastal Conservancy, and MTC grant applications. In the event the Caltrans Grant is awarded, the Coastal
Conservancy Grant will be withdrawn. While the timing of the MTC/PCA grant is unknown, staff would take
a similar approach and either suspend work or withdraw the application if we are successful with an earlier
grant.

Dear John:
Save Mount Diablo supports the development of the Marsh Creek Corridor Multi-Use
Trail as a tool for protecting land that provides important habitat and for improving
connectivity to open space. The completed trail will not only provide a safe non-
motorized route between Clayton and Brentwood for bicyclists, pedestrians and
equestrians-it will give local residents and tourists alike more ready access to the
110,000 acres of open space contiguous to Marsh Creek that is managed by the East
Bay Regional Park District, Contra Costa Water District, State Parks, and other
organizations including Save Mount Diablo. Additional potential trail connections
through Concord and Oakley give this regional trail project the potential to be an
extremely significant public benefit.
As a local, nonprofit land conservation organization, Save Mount Diablo works to
preserve, defend and restore land on and around the mountain for all to enjoy. We
believe our role in the project is to ensure natural resource protection is a central value
of the design princi pals , habitat is protected during the planning and construction of
the trail, and to help optimize the trail's eventual use through thoughtful design.
It is our hope that construction of the trail will be performed in conjunction with
restoration of Marsh Creek, as anticipated in the East Contra Costa County Habitat
Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan, and be constructed in a
manner that reflects the scenic and natural resources of the area .
Save Mount Diablo looks forward to further participation in the planning process and
hopes you will call upon us for information and assistance as the need arises .
Best regards,
'/Jf ?71

MARSH CREEK CORRIDOR MULTI‐USE TRAIL
CONCEPT FOR EXPANDED CONNECTIVITY: DELTA SHORELINE TO MOUNT DIABLO
Project Description: Develop an approximately 15‐mile long multi‐use trail through the Marsh Creek Corridor on or near
Marsh Creek Road between the City of Clayton and the City of Brentwood. Once this trail and adjacent trails are
completed, there will be one continuous non‐motorized route from Concord to Mount Diablo that ultimately continues to
the shoreline of the Delta in Oakley.
Background: Marsh Creek Road is a major thoroughfare that connects Central and East Contra Costa County. This stretch
of Marsh Creek Road where a trail is proposed receives up to 10,000 average vehicle trips a day. The western segment of
Marsh Creek Road carries a higher volume of commuters on average each day due to its proximity to the City of Clayton
while the eastern segment near Round Valley Regional Preserve (Deer Valley Road) receives significantly fewer average
daily vehicle trips. Marsh Creek Road is the gateway to 110,000 acres of open space and recreational areas managed by
the East Bay Regional Park District, Contra Costa Water District, State Parks, and other organizations. A significant number
of bicycle trips take place on Marsh Creek Road, in spite of the lack of a bicycle path or designated lane. Marsh Creek Road
within Clayton has an existing Class II bicycle lane, which connects to Clayton’s extensive trail network. In East Contra Costa
County, the Marsh Creek Trail currently runs from the Big Break Regional Shoreline in Oakley to the southern city limits of
the City of Brentwood. The East Bay Regional Park District plans to extend the Marsh Creek Trail through the City of
Brentwood to the Round Valley Regional Preserve. After that section is completed, a gap in the multi‐use trail would still
exist between Round Valley Regional Preserve and the City of Clayton.
Benefits: The completed multi‐use trail will create a new major non‐motorized east‐west thoroughfare for expanded
commuting and recreational opportunities. It will provide access to downtown Clayton, Diablo View Middle School, Mount
Diablo State Park, Round Valley Regional Preserve, and the existing Marsh Creek Trail in Brentwood and Oakley. Once this
trail is completed, there will be one continuous trail from Concord to the Delta shoreline in Oakley that can accommodate
various forms of non‐motorized travel, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians. Various trail alignment options
are available that allow for flexible design opportunities. These include potential alignments that follow the creek, the road
or separate the trail entirely to follow safer and more user‐friendly routes. Construction of the trail could be performed in
conjunction with restoration of Marsh Creek, as anticipated in the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan
/Natural Community Conservation Plan, and be constructed in a manner that reflects the scenic and natural resources of
the area.
Policies: Both the County’s General Plan and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s Countywide Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan call for bicycle facilities along Marsh Creek Road.
Funding Opportunities: A number federal, state, and local funding opportunities exist to support the planning, additional
ROW acquisition, and construction of the Marsh Creek Trail. Local agencies in Contra Costa County have an additional
opportunity to generate secure local funding by including the Marsh Creek Trail as a project in the upcoming proposed
augmentation of the county‐wide transportation sales tax.
Cost: TBD

Contra Costa County
Marsh Creek Corridor Multi-Use Trail Feasibility Study
2
Introduction
The Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development is seeking a
transportation planning/traffic engineering consultant firm to develop the Marsh Creek Corridor
Multi-Use Trail Feasibility Study ("Study"). Marsh Creek Road is a major thoroughfare that
connects Central County and East County. Currently, a significant number of bicycle trips take
place on Marsh Creek Road, despite the lack of bicycle paths. Marsh Creek Road within Clayton
has an existing Class II bicycle lane, which connects to Clayton’s extensive trail network. In East
County, the Marsh Creek Trail currently runs from the Big Break Regional Shoreline in Oakley to
the southern city limits of Brentwood. The East Bay Regional Park District plans to extend the
Marsh Creek Trail from the Brentwood city limits along Marsh Creek Road to the Round Valley
Regional Reserve.
Project Description
The proposed Marsh Creek multi-use trail would create a new major non-motorized east-west
thoroughfare for expanded commuting or recreational opportunities. It would provide non-
motorized access to Downtown Clayton, Diablo View Middle School, Mount Diablo, Round
Valley Regional Reserve, and the existing Marsh Creek Trail through Brentwood and Oakley. The
purpose of the path would be to provide a safe, useful and enjoyable transportation corridor
for various forms of non-motorized travel, including pedestrian, equestrian and bicycle users
(including serious bicycle enthusiasts), and the trail is proposed to be sized and designed to
encourage use by these various sectors. Once this path and adjacent paths are completed,
there will be one continuous non-motorized path from Downtown Concord to Oakley. The trail
could possibly be located on the opposite side of the creek from the road, immediately
adjacent to the road itself or some distance from the creek or the road in constrained areas.
Construction of the trail could be performed in conjunction with restoration of Marsh Creek, as
anticipated in the East Contra Costa County HCP/NCCP, and be constructed in a sensitive
manner that reflects and respects the scenic, agricultural, and natural resources of the area.
The following scope of services provides a detailed description of the activities that the
consultant design team will perform to complete this initial screening phase of the Marsh Creek
Trail project. This work plan reflects our best estimate for completing the tasks outlined by the
Stakeholder Team (Contra Costa County, City of Clayton, City of Brentwood, City of Oakley, City
of Antioch, East Bay Regional Park District, Save Mt. Diablo, State Parks, East Contra Costa
Habitat Conservancy) and to advance the design of a preferred alternative. The scope of
services below ensures the level of effort required to reach consensus on a preferred
alternative and to develop a physical project definition.
Project Objectives
Evaluate the potential for, and order of magnitude cost estimates for a non-motorized
multi-modal trail connecting the terminus of the Marsh Creek Trial in the City
Brentwood to the trail system in the City of Clayton with connections to Round Valley

Regional Park, other State Park and Save Mt. Diablo parcels along the Marsh Creek
Corridor, and Morgan Territory Road.
The preferred trail would be separated from the Marsh Creek Road and located adjacent
to Marsh Creek where feasible.
Trail alignment should minimize impacts to private property and retain privacy for
residences to the extent possible (without a qualifier “retain privacy” might be an
impossible bar to meet).
The trail would be for bicycle, pedestrians, and equestrians (or other non-motorized
travel).
Trail design should consider the trail being used for a commute alternative between East
and Central Contra Costa County and for recreational purposes.
Trail design should reflect the rural nature of the corridor and use materials to blend in
with surrounding features (i.e. retaining walls should be sculptured concrete to look like
rock or wood)
[the addition of “concept” is meant to reduce this activity to a minimal investment]
Consultant should develop design theme concept for trail
Trail design features should include interpretive panels that discuss the history and
unique features of the corridor.
The following features should be considered in concept and included in the cost
estimates but minimal actual design work should be completed in this early project
development phase:
o Trail should include directional signing for parks, cities, historical sites,
connecting trails, etc.
o Due to the length of the trail, consider water stations and restroom facilities,
using existing park lands and staging areas where feasible.
o Allow on-leash pets on trail where feasible
o Provide picnic areas, destination spots, and benches or rest stops along the
facility
o Incorporate green design elements, sustainable design elements
Sensitive to habitat
Connections to publically accessible HCP, SMD, EB Parks, State Parks facilities.
Try to keep the trail focused in the Marsh Creek Road corridor
Consider safety of users (cell service/call boxes)
ADA accessible
Coordinate with restoration efforts for Marsh Creek
Consider facility design to accommodate the serious commute cyclists
Tie the trail into the EBRPD Class I Network
Consider wildlife crossings that would allow passage for wildlife between key
conservation parcels and possible trail connection over road
Marsh Creek Big Bend property could be a potential staging area and connection to a
north-south land conservation band
Identify phasing opportunities for project implementation
Address conflict of use issues

DRAFT Scope of Services
Task One: Project Management
Task 1.1: Project Initiation Activities
The Consultant team will coordinate with the Stakeholder Team’s project manager to finalize
the project work plan, schedule, task budgets, deliverables, project milestones, and meeting
schedules. The Consultant team will initiate startup activities, including scheduling a kick-off
meeting, affirming the project goals and objectives, confirming the extents of the study area,
and identifying key stakeholders to begin the outreach process.
Task 1.2: Meetings
Consultant Team will attend regular coordination meetings either in-person or via conference
call. Consultant Team will budget time for up to ten (10) in-person project team meetings with
Stakeholder Team staff. We anticipate that sub-consultants will attend the kick-off meeting and
up to two additional project team meetings throughout the process to develop the feasibility
study. The project team meetings in Task 1 do not include the public outreach and stakeholder
meetings and workshops (scoped separately in Task 3).
Task 1.3: Project Management Support
Consultant Team will lead the project management. Consultant Team will also assist the
Stakeholder Team’s project manager in coordinating with Cities, State Parks, EBRPD, residents,
other state and regional agencies, local stakeholders, and bicycle/pedestrian/equestrian
advocacy organizations, environmental groups and utility providers.
Consultant will also prepare a “Project Fact Sheet” that articulates the project goals, objectives,
schedule and study area. The fact sheet will include a map showing the study area with major
landmarks shown. The fact sheet will be made available to stakeholders and the public.
Task One Deliverables:
A detailed work plan schedule with deliverables and key team meeting dates
Meeting agendas, meeting minutes and action items
Project Fact Sheet
Task Two: Data Collection and Base Mapping
Task 2.1: Review Available Plans and Data
Consultant will obtain and review information on existing conditions, relevant transportation
and bicycle/pedestrian/equestrian plans and policies, emerging best practices (w/examples of
implementation), design standards, regulatory requirements, and unique opportunities and
constraints. This task will include coordination with Stakeholder Team staff to seek information
on existing infrastructure and design standards and to confirm engineering input and drawings
required to support the project submissions. Information sought may be in the form of as-built

drawings, right-of-way drawings, parcel maps, Geographic Information System (“GIS”) data,
usage data (traffic counts, Strava Metro or the like) or reports.
Task 2.2: Utility Coordination
Consultant Team will coordinate with utility providers (PG&E, EBMUD, etc.) early during the
design process to understand the potential for impacting utility infrastructure along the
corridor. Consider planned or unplanned utility relocations of existing utilities and their cost
implications during the early design stages. It is vitally important to understand the potential
design constraints as early as possible during the design process.
Consultant Team will also identify and map the location of water, wastewater, electrical, and
phone utilities in order to locate potential trail facility sites such as restrooms, call boxes,
drinking fountains, safety lighting, etc.
Task 2.3: Aerial Survey
Consultant will subcontract with a surveying firm to obtain an aerial photogrammetric map of
the corridor to develop a topographic base map. Consultant will obtain natural color, vertical,
stereo aerial photography of the project area using a precision, calibrated, cartographic camera
equipped with a six-inch focal length lens and forward motion compensation. The photography
will be taken at an altitude of 1,000 feet above the mean elevation of the terrain.
Task 2.4: Base Mapping
From the aerial imagery, Consultant will compile a digital planimetric map at a scale of 1" = 40'
for the project area with one-foot contours. The aerial mapping will be done in California State
Plan (NAD83 Zone 3) with a vertical datum of NAVD88. Create digitized break-lines and spot
elevations to create a digital terrain model (“DTM”) and generate contours at a one-foot
interval from the DTM. Consultant will also generate planimetric features—such as buildings,
roads, fences, vegetation, trees, etc.
The County will provide a Microstation file containing the assessor’s parcel lines for the project
study area. For the project alternatives, the right-of-way lines will need to be resolved.
Consultant will coordinate with the County Surveyor on these efforts. Consultant will also
compile GIS data and develop mapping and visualization templates for the project.
Task 2.5: Intersections and Access Points
Consultant will identify and map existing road crossings, public lands, parks, driveways, etc.
Inventory access points located within the corridor for possible vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle,
wildlife crossings and equestrian access to and through the corridor.
Task 2.6: Natural Inventory
Consultant will identify and map adjacent or intersecting streams, significant natural features
(creeks, ponds, rock outcroppings, wetlands, floodplains, etc., and existing vegetation and
wildlife analysis (identify any species of concern or sensitive habitat areas in the project area

and/or the existence of aggressive, weedy species/major invasive plants). This data will inform
order of magnitude project costing and fatal flaw identification.
Task 2.7: Environmental Concerns
Based on preliminary assessments, Consultant will determine the need for environmental
assessment studies relative to toxic waste disposal or other environmental hazards.
Task 2.8: Physical Inventory and Assessment of the Right of Way
Consultant will prepare detailed mapping of the proposed trail corridor alignment at an
appropriate scale. Consultant will perform office and field research to delineate major areas of
concern. Consultant will prepare a physiographic analysis that shows the following:
The length, dimensions and right of way boundaries
Steep slopes
Topography
The composition of soils
Surrounding land use and ownership (public, private, etc.)
Erosion and drainage problems along the possible trail alignments
Task Two Deliverables:
Aerial survey and base map
Engineering Existing Conditions memorandum (right-of-way constraints,
environmentally sensitive areas, grading, utilities, etc.)
Task Three: Public Outreach
Consultant will lead the organization and scheduling of all public outreach activities with
Stakeholder Team staff and local stakeholder and community groups, with support from sub-
consultants to prepare materials and staff the meetings. We have included in this scope ten
(10) outreach meetings, which would include a combination of stakeholder meetings and
community workshops.
Task 3.1 Stakeholder Meetings and Community Workshops
For the ten outreach meetings, we will coordinate with Stakeholder Team staff to identify the
appropriate stakeholders and the schedule of the meetings throughout the project schedule.
We will utilize scheduled meetings with the City of Clayton and Brentwood and the regional
planning committees of CCTA, TRANSPLAN and TRANSPAC, to communicate with both
stakeholders and the public in a cost-effective way. We will schedule the majority of the
stakeholder meetings early in the process to better understand the opportunities and
constraints along the corridor. The stakeholder meetings could include (but are not limited to)
the following: Contra Costa County, City of Clayton, City of Brentwood, City of Antioch, City of
Oakley, East Bay Regional Park District, and State Parks and environmental groups such as Save
Mt. Diablo and the East Contra Costa Habitat Conservancy and emergency Services including

CalFire. Non-governmental organizations such as bicycle and pedestrian advocacy groups and
clubs: Bike East Bay, Delta Peddlers, etc.
Consultant will hold community workshops after the initial alternatives development in Task 5.
Task 3.2: Other Outreach
The Consultant Team will update fact sheets, develop announcements, or update the Project
website at key points.
Task Three Deliverables:
Schedule of all public outreach activities with Stakeholder Team staff and local
stakeholder and community groups.
Prepare materials and staff the meetings.
Task Four: Transportation Analysis
Consultant will conduct a multi-modal transportation analysis for the study corridor that will
focus on traffic operations, safety, and bicycle, pedestrian and equestrian conditions.
Consultant will structure the transportation analysis so that it can easily be adapted for any
level of environmental analysis pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
in later stages of the project. The transportation analysis will develop along with various stages
of the project.
Task 4.1: Traffic Data Collection
Consultant will contract with a data collection firm to collect peak period intersection counts
for two periods on one mid-week day (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) and hourly machine
tube counts with vehicle classifications (using FHWA’s standard class types) for one seven day
period to understand hourly volume profiles. We will coordinate with County staff to identify
the peak periods for the intersection counts and to include the turning movement counts,
vehicle classifications and pedestrian/bicycle flows. We anticipate the counts will occur during
the morning (7-9 AM) and evening (4-6 PM) peak periods. [Staff will review this task to
determine if it is needed at this phase of project development]
Task 4.2: Transportation Assessment
Consultant will complete a multimodal analysis of the corridor. Consultant will review land use
plans and planned or proposed projects near the study area. Consultant will develop traffic
forecasts (will these forecasts include bike/ped or just vehicular?) for the study area using the
latest version of the CCTA regional travel demand model and information from the land use
plans and pending projects. The analysis will include the following:
A summary of the overall transportation context and how Marsh Creek Road functions
between Clayton and Brentwood.
Bicycle, Pedestrian and Equestrian assessment: these modes will be addressed by
performing an inventory of existing facilities and documenting the following: the

location of bike lanes, sidewalks, trails, crosswalks and push buttons and the width and
condition of bike lanes, trials, and sidewalks; identify if there are gaps in the network;
identify other impediments to cycling, horseback riding, and walking.
Accident analysis: Consultant will download ten years of vehicle incident records from
the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) maintained by the California
Highway Patrol (CHP). Consultant will plot the accident history, calculate accident rates,
and compare them to comparable state highways. The accident history plot should have
accidents categorized by modes of travel (bicycle, pedestrian, equestrian, and vehicle)
During the alternatives evaluation in Tasks 4 and 6, we will update the transportation
analysis to reflect how any physical changes to Marsh Creek Road will affect vehicle
traffic and safety.
The transportation analysis will first address existing and Future Year “No Build” conditions, to
set a baseline for the alternatives analysis. Consultant will update the transportation analysis as
the project progresses from the alternatives analysis through the selection of a preferred
alternative.
Task Four Deliverables:
Transportation Analysis memorandum for existing and Future Year “No Build”
conditions. This memorandum will focus on traffic operations along Marsh Creek Road.
Updated Transportation Analysis memorandum to reflect the alternatives developed in
the following tasks.
Task Five: Alternatives Development
Task 5.1: Develop Project Alternative Concepts
Consultant will lead the development of up to three project alternatives consistent with the
defined project objectives. The desire is to have the trail alignment stay generally in the Marsh
Creek Road Corridor. However, if necessary, the trail alignment may need to deviate from the
immediate vicinity of the road to avoid cost and alignment constraints. The alternatives will
consist of a range of configurations, including but not limited to:
Separated Class I facility.
Class IV Bikeway.
Combination of a Class I facility adjacent to Marsh Creek Road and separated from the
road.
Combination of a Class I facility and Class II facility where constraints dictate.
We will divide the corridor into segments to address site-specific constraints and design issues.
We anticipate using the following segments:
1. City of Clayton to Morgan Territory Road
2. Terminus of Marsh Creek Trail in Brentwood to Round Valley Park Entrance

3. Round Valley Park to Morgan Territory Road
Task 5.2: Conceptual Plans of Alternatives
Based on the early stakeholder outreach, the consultant team will refine the three alternatives
and host an internal design charrette with Stakeholder Team. The Consultant Team will use this
input to develop high-level conceptual plans for the three alternatives. The conceptual plans
will reflect engineering design standards and basic right-of-way constraints, but will not
represent detailed design. The alternatives will be shown in plan-view and will feature cross-
sections at key locations along the corridor. Consultant will explore the possibility of
incorporating the alternative designs into a 3D view or a kmz file for importing into Google
Earth.
The alternative concepts should identify:
Trail design that safely accommodates all user groups and design to separate trail users
operating at different speeds.
Proposed location of trailheads and related facilities (restrooms, water, emergency
telephone, lighting, parking, maintenance, etc.).
Areas for trail barriers and emergency access.
Areas needing natural buffers and/or screening and wildlife crossings.
Proposed linkages to parks and other trail systems or areas of interest.
Possible handicap access and required facilities.
Identify and prepare conceptual design for facilities required to restrict use of the trail.
Identify auxiliary facilities necessary to operate the trail and provide conceptual designs
for these areas such as rest areas, parking facilities, fencing or buffer systems, drainage
systems, emergency vehicle access, facilities that met the needs of persons with
disabilities.
Task 5.3: Develop Presentation Materials for Public Outreach
Consultant will lead the development of public outreach materials for stakeholder and
community workshops.
Task Five Deliverables:
Three alternative project concepts
Conceptual plans for three alternatives
Presentation materials for public outreach
Task Six: Alternatives Analysis
Task 6.1: Detailed Alternatives Evaluation and Selection of a Preferred Alternative.
Consultant will utilize a multi-criteria evaluation matrix to assess the three alternatives
developed in Task 5. The matrix will consider a range of quantitative and qualitative
performance measures including: the user benefits for cyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians,

potential traffic impacts, the effect on access and safety for all travel modes, right-of-way
impacts, utility impacts, constructability, potential environmental impacts, and cost. Consultant
will update the Transportation Analysis memorandum. Consultant will also develop planning
level cost estimates for each alternative to use in the evaluation. Environmental review will
provide a high-level review of potential environmental “red flags” for the evaluation matrix.
Based on the detailed alternatives analysis and the preliminary cost estimates, the Stakeholder
Team and the Consultant will recommend a preferred alternative to advance to detailed design.
(Should the consultant also identify project phasing?)
Task 6.2: Preliminary Environmental Assessment
Environmental Consultant will perform a preliminary environmental assessment of the
preferred alternative to identify potential areas of focus under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”). This preliminary
assessment will consider the appropriate environmental documents (i.e., Mitigated Negative
Declaration or Environmental Impact Report) and the necessary environmental analyses for the
next phase of the project.
Task Six Deliverables:
Detailed Alternatives Evaluation Matrix memorandum
Preliminary Environmental Assessment memorandum
Task Seven: Feasibility Report
Consultant will prepare a draft feasibility report that will incorporate all of the findings of the
study through the alternatives analysis. We will submit the report to the Stakeholder Team staff
for review and comment. Based on the comments received, Consultant will revise the report
and submit a final version. Consultant will respond to comments and make any necessary
revisions before submitting the final report.

one referrals:
a. Referral #5 – Continuum of Care Plan for the Homeless/Healthcare for the
Homeless
b. Referral #20 – Public Service Portion of the CDBG
c. Referral #25 – Child Care Planning/Development Council Membership

III. ACKNOWLEDGE that F&HS did not receive the following three reports in 2017
for the indicated reason:
a. Referral #45 – Adult Protective Services and Challenges for Aged & Disabled
Populations – Due to staffing shortages and critical staff on leave,
the Employment and Human Services Department was unable to
prepare a report on this topic as scheduled for the September
meeting. The Department plans to report on this referral at the
beginning of 2018.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 813
Page 3 of 4
b. Referral #111 – Human Trafficking – Update on Commercial Sexual
Exploitation of Children and Update on the Family Justice
Center – Due to scheduling conflicts, the Employment and
Human Services Department was not able to report on this
referral in November as scheduled. The Department plans to
report on this referral at the beginning of 2018.
c. Referral #113 – Built Environment and Health in All Policies – The Health
Services Department provided a second follow-up report on this referral in
September of 2016, which addressed the Board’s concerns that resulted in the
referral to F&HS. On February 14, 2017, the Department included the Built
Environment report in their annual report to the Board from the Planning
Integration for Community Health (PITCH). To prevent duplication, the
Department felt an additional report to F&HS was unnecessary and should be
eliminated in future years so that the Department can continue including this
topic in their annual PITCH report.
IV. ACCEPT the Health Services Department’s recommendation to eliminate Referral
#113 – Built Environment and Health in All Policies.
V. ACKNOWLEDGE that on July 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors accepted the
final report on Referral #108 – Call Center Oversight and the Health Care Reform
Update and accepted the recommendations of the Employment and Human
Services Department and F&HS to eliminate this referral due to the cancellation of
the contract with state to provide Covered California Call Center services and the
elimination of the call center in Contra Costa County effective December 31, 2016.
VI. ACKNOWLEDGE that on October 30, 2017, F&HS received a report from the
Health Services Department on Referral #115 – Child and Teen Psychiatric
Services and Referral #116 – Public Mental Health Care System. Due to the
overlap of pending issues and questions related to both referrals, the Department
requested that the report be combined into one F&HS report to prevent duplication
and confusion. The Department’s report was accepted by F&HS and clearly
addressed the various issues in one report.
VII. ACCEPT the recommendation of the Health Services Department to consolidate
Referral #115 – Child and Teen Psychiatric Services and Referral #116 – Public
Mental Health Care System into one referral (Referral #116 – Public Mental Health
Care Systems) since they both relate to services provided by the County within the
public mental health care system. In the Department’s annual report, they will
include updates on the topic of psychiatric services to children and youth.
VIII. ACKNOWLEDGE that Referral #61 – HIV Prevention/Needle Exchange
Program is a biannual report to F&HS and that after today’s report to F&HS a
report will not be due to F&HS until 2019.

Subject:TRIENNIAL ADVISORY BODY REVIEW - PHASE III REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 816
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors is the governing authority for a large number of boards, commissions and committees
serving a variety of governmental functions, both mandatory and discretionary. The Board approved Resolutions
(2012/497 and 2012/498) to formalize a "triennial sunset review process" of these bodies so that a third of the total
are reviewed annually. The Board approved recommendations emanating from Phase I of this review on December 5,
2016, and from Phase II on March 21, 2017.
Summary Findings for Phase III
All of the bodies reviewed in this period were found to be fulfilling their functions and no major changes are
recommended. A number of bodies requested assistance with filling their vacancies, as was also reported in the Phase
II review. The Internal Operations Committee requested the Chief Assistant Clerk of the Board, whose office tracks
Board appointments, to work with each Board office in improving outreach when vacancies are identified. The Chief
Assistant Clerk of the Board met with the Board Chiefs of Staff at their August 11, 2017 meeting to begin working on
new ways to advertise openings in each District. Ideas that were proposed include the provision of monthly reports by
Clerk of the Board to each Chief of Staff, listing all of the current and impending vacancies. Another strategy is the
creation of specific announcements for vacancies with unique templates to help diversify the advertising. Meeting
with the Chiefs of Staff and soliciting their needs has helped to ensure that County staff best helps each District with
its goals of encouraging diverse representation. The Office of Communications and Media has also offered to use
countywide social media channels to assist with outreach and recruitment.
Additionally, as mentioned in the Phase II Triennial Review report, refresher training to County employees staffing
these bodies would be beneficial on topics such as the required annual report of activities for committees, tracking
meeting agendas and minutes, as well as budget oversight and general record keeping to ensure continued compliance
with the California Brown Act and County Better Government Ordinance. Staff in the Office of the
Auditor-Controller and the Clerk of the Board collaborated on a PowerPoint training, entitled ‘Fiscal Procedures and
Administrative Requirements for Contra Costa County Municipal Advisory Councils (MACs)". This training was
offered on September 27, 2017 to staff that work with the MACs.
No changes to bylaws, membership requirements, or seat structure are recommended for committees except those
highlighted in the recommendations. Below is a list of bodies included in the Phase III reviews that are either
mandated to exist or are discretionary to the Board, and a brief description of each body follows.
MANDATED COMMISSIONS OR COMMITTEES:
Alamo-Lafayette Cemetery District1.
The Cemetery District is a property tax and fee-supported organization that provides burial services; year-round
maintenance; and preservation of interment plots. Interments are restricted to residents and taxpayers of the cemetery
district boundaries and their immediate family members. The District is controlled by the California State Health &
Safety Code §9000. The District staff report that revenues received from property taxes and burial sales have been
insufficient to cover operational expenses and the District Board is exploring alternatives to ensure continued
financial viability.
Byron-Brentwood-Knightsen Cemetery District2.
The Cemetery District is a property tax and fee-supported organization that provides burial services; year-round
maintenance; and preservation of interment plots. Interments are restricted to residents and taxpayers of the cemetery
district boundaries and their immediate family members. The District is controlled by the California State Health &
Safety Code §9000.
Public Law Library3.
The Board of Trustees governs the Law Library pursuant to the California Business and Professions Code 6300. The
Law Library's mission is to provide all members of the community access to research materials to aid in
understanding and preserving legal rights at three full-time sites with the assistance of trained staff. Two-thirds of the
customers served in the law library sites are members of the general public.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 817
Staff for the Public Law Library has requested the assistance of the County in advocating for changes in their revenue
sources. The State froze the portion of court filing fees going to the Law Library at $35 in 2007. This source
represents 90-95% of the Law Library’s budget. Since that time, operational costs have continued to increase, which
has required reducing the staff support from five to three positions. Without an increase to the Law Library portion of
the court filing fee, staff believes the continued existence of the Public Law library is in jeopardy. It is recommended
that this issue be referred to the Board’s Legislation Committee to determine if the County should advocate to the
State on behalf of the Public Law Library to improve the funding source available for this service.
Fish and Wildlife Committee4.
The role of this committee is to advise the Board of Supervisors on fish and wildlife issues and make
recommendations for the expenditure of funds from the Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund (Fish and Game Code
Section 13103). Over the last three years, $224,210 has been granted for projects related to public education, habitat
improvement, temporary emergency treatment and care of orphaned wildlife and scientific research. Additionally, the
committee may address issues surrounding the enforcement of fish and game laws and regulations when referred to
the committee by the Board of Supervisors.
The Fish and Game Code section 13103 (j) states that secretarial service, travel and postage for this function may not
exceed three percent of the average received in the fund for the previous three years or $3000, whichever is greater.
Currently the staff support provided by Conservation and Development exceeds this amount and is being absorbed by
the General Fund. Staff recommends evaluating a change to the meeting frequency (from 12 to 6 annually) to reduce
the time spent by staff on this activity, which may require a restructuring of the grant reimbursement process.
North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Committee5.
This committee has existed since 2004 as part of a Bulk Materials Processing Center Memorandum of Understanding
with the City of Richmond to jointly administer mitigation fees collected from the Bulk Materials Processing Center
at the West Contra Costa County Sanitary Landfill. The Environmental Impact Report for this project determined that
this Center would impact the North Richmond community, and authorized a mitigation fee to defray annual costs
associated with collection and disposal of illegally dumped waste and other related impacts.
The committee addresses the needs of the community through multiple strategies including community clean-up
events, law and code enforcement activities, community garden projects and other community based projects.
Workforce Development Board6.
Federal legislation requires that an authorized workforce board be in place in order to receive funding for these
activities. The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County is the access point for employment-related
and training services, which involves developing local plans, identifying providers of services, monitoring system
performance, and helping to develop the labor market information system.
Via four job center sites, job seekers have access to basic and individualized career services and training services
available countywide. Priority is given to populations who are the most in need or have the greatest challenges to
employment: low-income individuals, those formerly incarcerated, current and former foster youth, and individuals
with disabilities, English language learners, and low basic skill inventories.
The Workforce Board has recommended an update to its by-laws that will be brought to the Board of Supervisors for
approval after the review by County Counsel is completed.
DISCRETIONARY COMMISSIONERS OR COMMITTEES:
Affordable Housing Finance Committee1.
This committee was established in 1995 to develop recommendations for the Board regarding the allocation of
Community Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Act funds. The Committee, staffed by the Department
of Conservation and Development, reviews the developers’ qualifications, cost effectiveness of the proposal, the need
for the type of housing proposed, and the feasibility of the proposed financing.
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 818
Managed Care Commission2.
This committee was established in 1995 with the goal of advising the Health Services Director and Board of
Supervisors regarding health insurance needs for the community and to promote the Contra Costa Health Plan. The
targeted populations within the county are recipients of Medi-Cal, Medicare, undocumented children and medically
indigent persons.
The staff review of this commission results in a recommendation to add one additional seat for a Medicare subscriber
for a senior or person with disabilities as this is required by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.
Additionally, due to the challenge in finding physicians with sufficient time to serve on the Commission, it is
recommended that this seat designation be broadened in title to “medical provider” to include Nurse Practitioners,
Physician’s Assistants and Optometrists.
Treasury Oversight Committee3.
The Board established this committee on November 6, 1995 to allow local agencies, including school and special
districts, as well as the public, to participate in reviewing the policies that guide the investment of public funds that
are invested by the County Treasurer. The committee monitors the County’s investment pool and policy, and
confirms that the annual audit is conducted to ensure compliance with Government Code 27130-27137.
This committee was initially mandated under the Government Code but this requirement was suspended by the State
in 2004. The Treasurer recommends the committee continue to exist to allow the public to participate in the review of
policies that guide the investment of public funds under the authority granted annually by the Board of Supervisors.
Iron Horse Corridor Management Program Advisory Committee4.
This committee was authorized by the Board of Supervisors in 1997 to assist the County in managing the former
Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way known as the Iron Horse Corridor, which extends 18 miles from Mayette
Avenue in Concord to the Alameda County line (through BOS Districts II and IV). The Board directed the committee
develop a management program, which included mapping the existing right-of-way, taking inventory of all existing
license agreements and uses, establishing criteria for the continued operation of the right-of-way as a joint use
facility, landscaping, developing public education information, and creating funding mechanisms to cover program
costs.
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Advisory Commission5.
The purpose of the Commission is to advise the Fire Chief and Board of Supervisors regarding goals and objectives
of the District, the operations and capital budgets, and declarations of fire apparatus and equipment as surplus; and
provide a liaison with the community. The Commission also serves as the Appeals Board on weed abatement matters.
Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund Review Committee6.
The Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund process was established in August 1992. The Board of Supervisors
designated that these funds be used to mitigate effects of the landfill site by funding community-based organizations
and County Departments for programs in the following areas: youth services, code enforcement, community
beautification, public safety, and community services. This Committee makes annual funding recommendations to
the Board of Supervisors.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve the list of providers recommended by Contra Costa Health Plan's Medical Director on October 25, 2017,
and by the Health Services Director, as required by the State Departments of Health Care Services and Managed
Health Care, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) requires that evidence of Board of Supervisors' approval
must be contained within each Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) provider’s credentials file. Approval of this list of
providers, as recommended by the CCHP Medical Director, will enable the CCHP to comply with this requirement.

If this action is not approved, CCHP providers would not be appropriately credentialed nor in compliance with the
NCQA.

December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 825
December 5, 2017 Conta Costa County Board of Supervisors Minutes 826
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
Behavioral Health Subaccount in Fiscal Year 2016/17 was $33,098,601. This reallocation does not exceed 10% of the
deposit. (100% 2011 State Realignment)
BACKGROUND:
The reallocation of 2011 Realignment funds from one subaccount to another is allowable, per California Government
Code Section 30025(f)(4)(A-E) (“Code”). The Code requires Board of Supervisor approval that the decision to
reallocate funds was based on the most cost effective use of available resources to maximize client outcomes.
The funds reallocated from EHSD Protective Services Subaccount to the Health Services Department Behavioral
Health Subaccount will be used to enhance and increase existing specialty mental health services for children
receiving services from EHSD-Children and Family Services (CFS) to support mental health services in step down in
placement care levels and/or to sustain children in family-based care under the state Continuum of Care Reform
Initiative (AB403). These funds can only be used for children who are receiving foster care and/or in-home services
from EHSD-CFS or for children whose families are involved with Emergency Response and are referred for Mental
Health services by EHSD-CFS.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
EHSD-Children and Family Services and HSD-Children’s Mental Health will be unable to provide the desired
specialty mental health services for children who are receiving foster care and/or in-home services, or children whose
families are involved with Emergency Response.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This action supports four of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) Children Ready
for and Succeeding in School; 2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; 3) Families
that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and 4) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for
Children and Families, by supporting successful step-down placement and/or sustaining children in family-based care.

to effectuate the intent of the Resolution. Authorized officers include the Chair of the Board of Supervisors, the
Vice-Chair of the Board of Supervisors, County Administrator, the County Director of Conservation and
Development, the County Assistant Deputy Director of Conservation and Development, the County’s Community
Development Bond Program Manager, County Counsel, and other officers of the County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. In the event that the Bonds are issued, the County is reimbursed for costs incurred
in the issuance process. Annual expenses for monitoring of Regulatory Agreement provisions ensuring units in the
Development will be rented to low income households are accommodated in the bond issue. The Bonds will be
solely secured by and payable from revenues (e.g. Development rents, reserves, etc.) pledged under the bond
documents. No County funds are pledged to secure the Bonds.
BACKGROUND:
The recommended action through this Board Order is the adoption of Resolution 2017/431 by the Board
authorizing the issuance of an additional $1,600,000 in Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”) to
finance additional construction costs with tax-exempt financing.
On March 16, 2016, the County received an allocation of $19,200,000 from the California Debt Limit Allocation
Committee (“CDLAC”) to finance the acquisition and construction of Riviera Family Apartments, a 58-unit
apartment development located at 1515 and 1738 Riviera Avenue (APN Nos. 174-150-076, 174-140-019,
174-140-025) in Walnut Creek (the “Development”). On September 23, 2016, the County issued the Bonds and an
additional $1,529,702 in taxable bonds (for a total of $20,729,702) to Riviera Family Apartments, L.P. (the
“Borrower”), a California limited partnership to finance the acquisition and construction of the Development. The
taxable bonds have not been expended and the Borrower now wishes to convert them into tax-exempt bonds. The
issuance of the 2017 Bond shall be subject to the conditions enumerated in Section 1 of the Resolution.
A requirement of the federal tax law is that the prospective financing be subject to a conditional statement of
intent to issue bonds to reimburse expenses incurred prior to the date the bonds are issued, i.e. a reimbursement
resolution must be adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Also, CDLAC requires that a reimbursement resolution
be adopted before an application may be made for such an allocation. The adoption of a reimbursement resolution
will not obligate the County or the Borrower without future discretionary actions, but will indicate the intent of
the County to issue the bonds if all of the conditions in the reimbursement resolution have been satisfied.
Additional financing for the project includes:
City of Walnut Creek loans: $6 million
County HOME/HOPWA loans: $2 million
State Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities: $2.3 million
Sponsor equity: $2.3 million
State Proposition 1C Infill Infrastructure Grant: $2.8 million
Low income housing tax credit equity: $16 million
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would prevent the County from meeting the public approval requirement of the Internal Revenue
Code for issuing the Bonds. As a result, the Bonds could not be issued by the County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Development will provide 58 units of affordable housing appropriate for families. This supports outcome #3:
Families are Economically Self Sufficient.

Resolution of the County of Contra Costa Setting Forth the County’s Official Intent to Issue Revenue Bonds to Provide
Additional Financing For a Multifamily Residential Rental Housing Development – Riviera Family Apartments
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa (the “County”) has determined that there is a shortage of

the health, safety and welfare of the public for the County to assist in the financing of multifamily rental housing developments;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California, and particularly Chapter 7 of Part
5 thereof (the “Act”), the County is empowered to issue and sell revenue bonds for the purpose of making mortgage loans or
otherwise providing funds to finance the acquisition, construction and rehabilitation of multifamily rental housing, including
units for lower income households and very low income households; and
WHEREAS, at the request of Riviera Family Apartments, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Borrower”), on September
23, 2016, the County issued its $20,729,702 County of Contra Costa Multifamily Housing Revenue Notes (Riviera Family
Apartments), Series 2016C (the “2016 Notes”) to finance costs of the acquisition and construction of a 58-unit residential rental
housing development known as Riviera Family Apartments located at 1515 and 1738 Riviera Avenue in Walnut Creek (the
“Project”); and
WHEREAS, the costs of construction of the Project have increased since the issuance by the County of the 2016 Notes, and the
Borrower has now requested that the County issue an additional note (the “2017 Note”) and lend the proceeds of the sale of the
2017 Note to the Borrower to provide additional financing for the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors now wishes to declare its intention to authorize the issuance of the 2017 Note in a
principal amount not to exceed $1,600,000 at a future date after the documentation relating to the financing has been prepared and
completed, and the County’s requirements for the issuance of the 2017 Note have been satisfied.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa as follows:
Section 1. The Board of Supervisors hereby determines that it is necessary and desirable to provide additional financing for the

sale and delivery thereof), and for a funding loan agreement and all other agreements with respect to the 2017 Note; (ii) all
requisite governmental approvals for the 2017 Note shall have first been obtained; (iii) the 2017 Note shall be payable from
revenues received with respect to a loan to the Borrower made with the proceeds of the 2017 Note, and neither the full faith nor
the credit of the County shall be pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the 2017 Note; (iv) any occupancy and
other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code “) are satisfied or otherwise provided for with
respect of the 2017 Note, the interest on which is intended to be excluded from gross income for federal tax purposes; (v) any
occupancy and other requirements of the Act with respect to the Project are satisfied or otherwise provided for; and (vi) any

occupancy and other requirements of the County applicable to the Project are satisfied or otherwise provided for. It is anticipated
that some or all of the requirements described in the foregoing clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) will be satisfied through
amendments to the existing documents for the 2016 Notes.
Section 2. The Chair of the Board of Supervisors, the Vice-Chair of the Board of Supervisors, the County Administrator, the
Director of the Department of Conservation and Development of the County, the Assistant Deputy Director of the Department of
Conservation and Development of the County, the County’s Community Development Bond Program Manager, County Counsel
and the other officers of the County are hereby authorized and directed to take whatever further action consistent with this
Resolution may be deemed reasonable and desirable, including participating in the preparation of any resolution, funding loan

allocation of the State of California’s private activity bond volume cap for the 2017 Note under Section 146 of the Code and
Section 8869.85 of the Government Code, including obtaining a deposit from the Borrower and submitting an application for
such volume cap to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (the “Application”), all to the extent required for the

Note for the Project for purposes of Sections 103 and 141 to 150 of the Code. The County reasonably expects that certain costs
of the Project will be reimbursed with proceeds of the 2017 Note for certain expenditures made prior to the issuance of the 2017
Note.

APPROVE the Demolition/Replacement of Fire Station 16 at 4007 Los Arabis Drive in Lafayette Project (Project), Lafayette
area [County Project No. WO#795A, DCD-CP#16-38] (District II).
DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 2(b) Categorical Exemption, pursuant
to Article 19, Section 15302(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, and
DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development through the Fire Chief to file a Notice of
Exemption with the County Clerk, and
AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and
Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Capital Improvement Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this Project is to demolish the existing vacant Fire Station No. 16 and replace it with a new single apparatus
fire station at the same location, for the same purpose, and with substantially the same capacity, since the number of
personnel (3) and fire apparatuses (1) will be consistent with past staffing and equipment levels. The existing vacant fire
station was vacated due to structural damage. The new fire station, which will continue to be operated by Contra Costa
County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD), will serve the surrounding residential neighborhood north of Highway 24 in
central Lafayette.
On April 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors awarded a job order contract (JOC) for repair, remodeling, and other repetitive
work to be performed pursuant to the Construction Task Catalog to each of Federal Solutions Group, Aztec Consultants,
Mark Scott Construction, Inc., and S.C. Anderson Group International Inc., each in the amount of $2,500,000. This project is
expected to be performed by one of the four JOC contractors. A task order catalogue has been prepared for the JOC
contractor to complete this Project. In the event that the Project is not performed by the JOC contractor, the Public Works
Department will return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
