BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 2013, the FC District presented to the Board its first annual report on flood protection
infrastructure in order to understand its history, condition, and future needs. Annually in February, starting
in 2014, we presented the Board with the FC District's Annual Report for the previous year. The 2017
Annual Report is provided to update the Board on the FC District's accomplishments in 2017 as well as
future challenges and next steps.
In summary, our community outreach events were successful, our capital programs made progress, and our
studies of aging infrastructure and unsustainable service levels continued to highlight some major concerns,
primarily regarding lack of funding.
Highlights of 2017 include:
• FC District staff visited Representatives at the State Capitol, talking about the need for stormwater
funding.
• The Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project wrapped up its community-based planning process and
received over$2M in new grant funding.
• Students at Walnut Creek Intermediate School held a"Stay Out, Stay Alive" assembly attended by both
the County Fire District's Swift Water Rescue Team and FC District staff.
• The FC District completed a 5th annual "Giving the Natives a Chance" community planting day, with
over 150 volunteers planting about 7,000 native grass plugs.
• The Wildcat/San Pablo Creeks levee remediation project was constructed, reducing flood risk in the North
Richmond area. The State Department of Water Resources provided$650,000 in additional grant funds on
top of their original $1.5M grant.
• The RainMap rainfall tracking and forecasting online tool received a California State Association of
Counties Challenge Merit Award. The RainMap is available at www.cccounty.us/RainMap.
• The FC District installed 11 new stream gauges funded by a $205,000 Department of Water Resources
Flood Emergency Response Grant.
The Three Creeks Project is at the 90% design stage and expected to begin construction next year.
Facility Condition Assessments for all FC District infrastructure are halfway complete through the
ten-year program.
We continue working with the California State Association of Counties and the County Engineers
Association of California after the passage of SB231, which could allow agencies to charge property
owners for stormwater services, similar to the exemption that water and wastewater utility districts have
under Proposition 218 voter requirements. We, like other agencies, are cautiously moving forward on
determining how SB231 will assist in creating sustainable funding sources to meet the FC District's needs.
The FC District will continue implementation of the action plans outlined in the Annual Report. The key
action for the next few years will be to focus on developing sustainable funding for regional flood
protection and community drainage. For the full report and past reports,visit
www.cccounty.us/5815/Annual-Reports.
Staff recommends that the Board accept the 2017 Annual Report from the FC District, direct the Chief
Engineer to continue with the action plans recommended in the Report, with a follow-up report to this Board
annually, and refer the effort to develop sustainable funding for regional flood protection and community
drainage to the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
February 13,2 018 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 18
If the Board does not accept this report, the County's flood protection and community drainage
infrastructure issues will not be adequately addressed,which will lead to lower levels of flood protection for
our communities in the future.

BACKGROUND:
On December 20, 2016, at the recommendation of then Supervisor Piepho, the Board of Supervisors
approved the expenditure of up to $150,000 from the Livable Communities Trust(District III Portion)
and authorized DCD, in consultation with the Ag Task Force and local agricultural stakeholders, to
identify for future Board consideration specific actions the County could take to further promote and
incentivize agricultural sustainability and economic vitality(see Attachment 1). As the new District III
Supervisor, Supervisor Burgis has heard significant community interest in this topic and is very eager to
facilitate an effective public engagement effort that results in meaningful policy modifications. To
initiate the discussion on policy reform needs and ideas, Supervisor Burgis worked with DCD to
convene a meeting of agricultural stakeholders on November 15, 2017. Participants generated a number
of ideas (see Attachment 2) for policy reforms that provide a useful starting point for future discussions.
To expeditiously generate policy reforms that reflect the needs of the community and further promote
and incentive both agricultural sustainability and economic vitality, DCD needs a public engagement
strategy that does not depend on the Ag Task Force. The Ag Task Force has not met in years, does not
have any members with current appointments and is not anticipated to be in a position to start meeting
again in the near future. Therefore, it is recommended that in lieu of relying on the Ag Task Force for
input, DCD be authorized to convene a series of open, public meetings with persons and groups
interested in the policy reform topic. DCD would generate a contact list of interested stakeholders based
on its knowledge of the issue and in consultation with District Offices,publicize the effort on its website
and continuously update the list to include anyone interested in the topic and send announcements of
open,public meetings (perhaps four to eight in total) on this topic to everyone on the list inviting their
participation. It is recommended that meetings be held in or near agricultural areas of the County, with a
majority of the meetings being held in eastern Contra Costa County where the majority of agricultural
lands are located, but with some meetings in other areas as well. Participants would be invited and
encouraged to all meetings, or as many as they can, to stay engaged in the process and provide consistent
input as the effort progresses. The results of these discussions and the staff work would be presented to
the Board for review and direction and any modifications on General Plan policies or zoning provisions
would need to be considered by the County Planning Commission and approved by the Board.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Department of Conservation and Development is not authorized to convene a series of stakeholder
meetings in lieu of coordinating with the Ag Task Force, then the process for developing policies to
improve agricultural sustainability and vitality would be delayed
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The recommended action will not affect children's programs in the County.

BACKGROUND? (COhaj
activities dating back to the Spanish colonial period.Good soils,a mild climate,and adequate water supplies allowed
agriculture to become a principal element of the county's economy.However,the agricultural sector began a steady
decline following World War H,as tens of thousands of acres of productive agricultural land were converted to
accommodate urban and suburban growth.
Understanding the impact of development pressures on agricultural resources,in 1978 the Board of Supervisors
established the Agricultural Core("Ag Core")as part of the newly-adopted East County Area General Plan(see Note
1).The Ag Core included 14,600 acres of farmland that were the most capable of supporting and sustaining
agricultural production because the soils were considered the best for farming a wide variety of plants or crops. These
soils were rated as"Prime Farmland"through a soil survey conducted by the U.S.Department of Agriculture's Soil
Conservation Service(now the Natural Resource Conservation Service).Additionally,the Ag Core is identified as
Prime Farmland through the Farmland Monitoring and Mapping Program administered by the California Department
of Conservation,Division of Land Resources Protection(see Attachment A,Contra Costa County Important
Farmland Map 2014 and Note 2).
In 1990 Contra Costa voters approved Measure C,which among other things established the County's Urban Limit
Line and resulted in the County rezoning the Ag Core to require 40-acre minimum parcel sizes where 10-acres had
been the previous minimum.Unfortunately,the years immediately preceding Measure C's adoption saw a spike in
subdivision applications within the Ag Core,which resulted in creation of numerous parcels that are undersized by
today's zoning standards.These parcels are often developed as estate lots or other non-agricultural uses and may not
easily lend themselves to economically-viable agricultural enterprises due to their size.
Despite public and private efforts to preserve the county's productive agricultural land over the past several decades,
from 1984 through 2014 Prime Farmland decreased from 4I,181 to 25,502 acres and Important Farmland decreased
from 116,148 to 88,912 acres(see Note 3). Prime Farmland within the Ag Core itself has decreased from 14,600 acres
to approximately 11,500 acres since the Ag Core's inception.
Despite the decrease in agricultural acreage,agriculture is still an important element of the Contra Costa County
economy.In 2015 agriculture contributed$225 million and provided 2,277 jobs(1,735 direct and 542
indirect/supporting)(see Note 4). The$128.5 million gross value of the county's agricultural production ranked 38th
out of the 56 California counties submitting crop reports in 2015 and 6th out of the 9 Bay Area counties(see Note 5).
While Contra Costa's agricultural production may be small compared to the$3.23 billion production of San Joaquin
County,it is nearly three times larger than the agricultural production of neighboring Alameda County.Local
initiatives such as Buy Fresh, Buy Local and Harvest Time in Brentwood have increased awareness of Contra
Costa's agricultural resources and products,but its agricultural tourism("agritourism")industry lags behind Alameda
County's relative to the size of its agricultural economy.In part this is because Alameda County has adopted a clear
vision for its most prominent agricultural area,the South Livermore Valley,and successfully worked with the cities
of Livermore and Pleasanton and local stakeholders, like the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association,to leverage
its agricultural resources. Contra Costa County can learn from and build upon Alameda County's experience.
Food production has also become an issue of intense public interest in recent years.Across the nation people have
become increasingly aware of their food sources and production practices.Organically farmed and farm-to-table,
concepts which were somewhat obscure a just decade ago,are now mainstream and commonly factor into consumer
choices.Therefore,it is important that Contra Costa County farms remain an economically-viable local food source.
The District III Supervisor has consistently engaged with the agricultural community over the last twelve years to hear
their thoughts on the future of agriculture,including convening town hall style meetings,participating in forums and
conferences and engaging with individual farmers and other interested people at numerous other meetings and events.
Farmers in Contra Costa County value our agricultural tradition and want to see it continue,but they also feel
strongly that opportunities to promote economic vitality for agriculture need to be identified and pursued.
With these considerations in mind,the District III Supervisor recommends that the full Board authorize DCD,in
February 13,2 018 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 23
consultation with the Agricultural Advisory Task Force and stakeholders in the local agricultural community,to
identify for future Board consideration specific actions the County could take to further promote and incentivize
agricultural sustainability and economic vitality.These could include,but are not limited!to:
•Researching on how programs to promote agricultural sustainability and economic vitality have been developed and
funded throughout California,including agritourism,agricultural marketing opportunities and efforts to make
agriculture more sustainable.
•Reviewing the County General Plan and zoning ordinance to identify changes necessary to promote the economic
vitality and sustainability of agriculture.
•Reviewing current permitting procedures for agricultural projects to identify opportunities for streamlining and
removing barriers in order to promote the economic sustainability of agricultural uses.
•Review policies and programs to identify opportunities for complementing improved economic vitality with
retention of the agricultural land and productivity necessary to drive a sustainable and vital agricultural economy.
Completing the actions described above will require considerable staff resources.Extensive public outreach and
engagement will be necessary.Amendments to the County General Plan and zoning ordinance are subject to review
under the California Environmental Quality Act and must go through a series of public hearings.The District III
Supervisor therefore recommends allocating$150,000 from the District III portion of deposits into the Livable
Communities Trust Fund to DCD to cover staff time and other costs.
The Livable Communities Trust Fund(Fund)was established to implement the County's Smart Growth Action Plan.
Goals of the Action Plan relevant to this proposal are the following: 3)to promote innovative land use planning and
design principles that encourage mixed use and infill development(this proposal is to study innovative land use
planning and is intended to improve the sustainability of agricultural lands and reduce pressure to convert such lands
to urban uses,thereby enabling a focus on mixed use and infill development in existing urban areas;and 4)promote
economic revitalization and urban infill communities(this proposal is intended to promote the agricultural economy).
In reviewing the purpose of the Fund,the Board of Supervisors determined on December 3,2013 that"the goal shall
be to spend the money equally among supervisorial districts." At build-out of the development projects contributing
revenue to the Fund,deposits to the Fund will total$8,448,000. The interest-bearing trust account has earned over
$300,000 in interest to date. So far,one expenditure has been made from the Fund(a$250,000 expenditure approved
on October 22,2013 for the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative).Another expenditure was
authorized on June 14,2016,with$1,432,830 from the District I portion providing matching funds for the
development of the Heritage Point affordable housing project in North Richmond.An additional proposal to
authorize expenditure of up to$250,000 from the District III portion is on the December 20 agenda for a feasibility
study for the Marsh Creek Corridor Multi-Use Trail.
CONSEOtiENCF.OF\NEGATIVE ACTIO\:
If the funding is not allocated resources will not be available to the County to study and develop policies to improve
agricultural sustainability and profitability.
