Subject:Federal Emergency Management Agency recognizing Contra Costa County Public Works for moving from a Class 6
to a Class 5 in the Community Rating System
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 22
BACKGROUND:
The County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), managed by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which provides federally backed flood insurance within our
community of unincorporated County. Under this program we adopted and enforce our floodplain
management ordinance to regulate development in flood hazard areas to minimize flood damage to future
development.
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program for NFIP participating communities. The
goals of the CRS are to reduce flood damages to insurable property, strengthen and support the insurance
aspects of the NFIP, and encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. The CRS has
been developed to provide incentives in the form of premium discounts for communities to go beyond the
minimum floodplain management requirements to develop extra measures to provide protection from
flooding.
The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency determined that Contra
Costa County has improved to a Class 5 in the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating
System.
This improvement in our CRS rating from a Class 6 to a Class 5 is the result of the floodplain management
measures that we have implemented which exceed the minimum national standards. These measures
include activities in four main categories: Public Information, Mapping and Regulation, Flood Damage
Reduction, and Flood Preparedness. The efforts include not just building related regulations but having
policies on land use in our General Plan, zoning ordinances, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan that
addresses flooding.
With this improved rating the flood insurance premiums for Contra Costa County’s residents and
businesses qualify for a 25 percent discount for NFIP policies issued or renewed in the Special Flood
Hazard Areas effective May 1, 2018.
Contra Costa County is now one of only 9 communities in California with a Class 5 or better rating among
over 100 participating communities.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. FIND that the appointment of Liliana Rotzscher is necessary to fill a critically needed position; and
2. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the temporary employment of Ms. Rotzscher, retired Civil Litigation
Secretary, for the period October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the request is granted, salary and related payroll costs will be no more than $25,000 based on no more
than 960 hours. Salary costs will be absorbed in the department's operating budget.
BACKGROUND:
This department has recently experienced several clerical departures and intradepartmental promotions,
which have left us with a series of clerical vacancies. We are also initiating a project to reduce the number
of paper documents we store to facilitate our move to the new County administration building. The work of
the County Counsel’s Office is confidential and highly specialized. Much of the work we do is
deadline-driven, either by the needs of our client departments or the courts. We require temporary

clerical services from someone who is familiar with our operation to help new staff members transition into
their positions and backfill for members of our permanent clerical staff who will become increasingly
involved in the review, retention and/or destruction of decades of legal records. Because our clerical staff is
small, we have an ongoing need for someone to cover for clerical staff members who are on vacation, out
sick and on extended leaves of absence. Ms. Rotzscher retired from the Office of the County Counsel in
July 2012. During the tenure with the County Ms. Rotzscher has supported both the General Law and the
Tort and Civil Rights Litigation Divisions. Her familiarity with state and federal courts, the County
Counsel’s legal practice, and our TABS timekeeping process makes this temporary employment the most
efficient and cost effective way of meeting the department’s immediate, short term needs. It is requested
that Ms. Rotzscher be permitted to work up to 960 hours between October 1, 2018 through September 30,
2019.

BACKGROUND:
In December 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted the County’s Climate Action Plan, which states the
County’s commitment to addressing the challenges of climate change by reducing local greenhouse gas
emissions while improving community health. On July 23, 2018, the Contra Costa County Sustainability
Commission brought to the Ad Hoc Committee on Sustainability (Committee) a recommendation for the
County to include in its Federal legislative platform support for a Carbon Fee and Dividend. The
Sustainability Commission received this request from the Citizens Climate Lobby, and voted 8-1 to
recommend support for the Carbon Fee and Dividend.

Subject:Amend the County’s Legislative Platform to Include Support for Efforts to Price Carbon Emissions
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 31
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
As explained in the communication from the Sustainability Commission (attached), the Carbon Fee and
Dividend would put a federal price on carbon-based fuels with the goal of having the price charged to
consumers reflect the true costs of those fuels to society. The funds collected through this fee would be
placed in a trust and returned to all American households in equal, monthly, per-person dividend
payments. According to the analysis presented by the Sustainability Commission, two-thirds of all
American households will break even or come out ahead. Lower income households would receive a
proportionately greater benefit because they spend proportionately more on transportation, heating, and
food.
The Ad Hoc Committee on Sustainability had a robust discussion with members of the Sustainability
Commission and the public about the Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal. Advocates for the Carbon Fee
and Dividend discussed the importance of policies to promote clean energy on public health. They
stressed the simplicity of this approach and that lower-income households will see a greater benefit.
Others disagreed with the dividend concept, arguing that some of the funds should be directed to
government-sponsored programs that build stronger communities and/or research.
The Committee discussed challenges that the dividend proposal presents, including who would benefit,
how dividend funds would be allocated and used, and how best to build public support for this concept.
The Committee recommended that the County add to its federal legislative platform language that
supports the concept of a national price on carbon. The Committee declined to recommend that the
County take a position on the dividend, citing concerns that not all of the funds collected should
necessarily be returned 100 percent to the public; there may be other public purposes to which those
funds should be applied.
Staff notes that the national League of Women Voters at its 2018 national convention voted
overwhelmingly to support a similar approach:
“The League of Women Voters stands united with, and in support of, efforts to price carbon emissions,
whether cap-and-trade, carbon tax/fee, or another viable pricing mechanism. The League does not have
a position on how the revenue generated is to be used. We do not espouse any single method of pricing
carbon over another. We will evaluate all proposed methods based on their effectiveness to abate
emissions and whether the method can be successfully implemented.”
Staff suggests that the same language may be useful for the County to include in its legislative platform.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not amend the County’s legislative platform, it will forego an opportunity to influence
policies that help mitigate damage to the climate and protect public health.

SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION
An Advisory Body to the Board of Supervisors
30 Muir Road
Martinez, California 94553 July 16, 2018 The Honorable John Gioia and Federal Glover, Contra Costa County Supervisors Ad Hoc Sustainability Committee 651 Pine St. Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Messrs. Gioia and Glover, At its June 25th meeting, the Contra Costa Sustainability Commission voted to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that it support adoption of a national carbon fee and dividend (CF&D) in the County’s Federal Legislative Platform. The request for this recommendation was presented to the Sustainability Commission by members of the Contra Costa Chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), a national organization. While our discussion considered the basic mechanism of CF&D, commissioners focused on the economic impact a carbon tax would have on low-income residents of our county. The advocates for the plan highlighted the progressive effect of distribution of 100% of the net revenue, and cited a study showing that most residents would receive more in dividends than they pay in rising costs. The rationale for carbon pricing is well-established. A price on carbon corrects a massive market failure by incorporating the environmental and social costs of greenhouse gas emissions into the price of goods and services. Validating this economic tenet is the fact that 45 national and 25 sub-national jurisdictions now put a price on carbon, covering about 12% of global emissions. 1 The calls for carbon pricing are growing, both domestically 2 and abroad. There are many approaches to carbon pricing. Why should Contra Costa County advocate for a carbon fee and dividend system? To answer that question, we reviewed CF&D’s three core features:
• A national carbon tax, starting at a relatively low rate and increasing predictably and steadily over
the years, is a market-based solution that sends a clear price signal to businesses to develop and
use low- or no-carbon-based energy resources. The rising cost of carbon-intensive products and
services also incentivizes consumers to choose “greener” alternatives.
• One-hundred percent of net fees are returned to households in equal shares as monthly dividends.
Two-thirds of all Americans will break even or come out ahead, as their dividends match or
exceed price increases due to the tax. (See attachment showing household impacts for U.S.
Congressional District 11. Studies for other Congressional districts in our county are available. )

September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 34
Lower-income households receive a proportionately greater benefit because they spend
proportionately more on transportation, heating, and food.
• A border adjustment will level the playing field for American businesses and motivate other
countries to establish their own carbon pricing. Import fees on products from countries without a
carbon fee, along with rebates to US industries exporting to those countries, will discourage
American firms from relocating. A study conducted by a non-partisan economic modeling firm, Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI), predicted that during the first 20 years, the CF&D policy advocated by CCL would lead to a 50% reduction of carbon emissions below 1990 levels; the addition of 2.8 million jobs above baseline, driven by the economic stimulus; and the avoidance of 230,000 premature deaths due to reductions in air pollutants that accompany carbon emissions.3 These arguments have led 5 counties and 23 cities in California, and the State of California to pass resolutions endorsing a national revenue-neutral carbon tax. (See attachments.) Our County’s Climate Action Plan affirms the connection between local air quality and federal policy. Measure GO 5 (action item 5, bullet 2) calls on the County to “advocate for regional, state, and federal activities that support GHG emissions in the county, including adoption of language in the County’s state and federal legislative platforms that directs support and lobbying for local GHG reductions.” These environmental, economic and health-related justifications for a revenue-neutral carbon tax are compelling. But we also recognize a valid objection to the CF&D plan: Rather than returning 100% of the revenue in equal share to all households, why not allocate portions for renewable energy development, assistance to those bearing the brunt of climate change impacts, and programs to help workers who will lose jobs in the transition to a low-carbon economy? These are all worthy claims for public investment and assistance. One of the Commission members, who is also a member of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, states that political considerations argue against using revenue from carbon fees to address those legitimate needs. Consider the consequences of adopting policies that pick winners and losers (“Why stimulate solar but not biomass?”), or assists one group rather than another (“Why that refinery fence-line community but not our coastal town?”), or provides transitional training for some workers but not others (“Pipefitters but not electricians?”). The result would be a splintering of support for the carbon tax along partisan and geographic fault lines. Its passage and long-term survival require that the plan not “grow government” and lose broad public support by requiring costly regulatory apparatus, means-testing, and oversight. For a plan to withstand political buffeting, its range of benefits must be distributed equally to all citizens—no matter where they live, how they make their living, who they vote for, or how they choose to spend their money. For all of the reasons set forth here, a 7-1 majority of Sustainability Commission members recommend that the Ad Hoc Sustainability Committee place a motion before the Board of

What is Carbon Fee and Dividend?
Carbon Fee and Dividend is the policy proposal created by Citizens’
Climate Lobby (CCL) to put a federal price on carbon-based fuels so that
their consumer cost reflects their true costs to society.
It’s the policy that both climate scientists and economists say is the
best first-step to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic climate change
from global warming.
Why Carbon Fee and Dividend?
Currently, the price of fossil fuels does not reflect their true costs—
including their impact on global climate. Correcting this market failure
will require that their price account for the true social costs.
As long as fossil fuels remain artificially inexpensive, their use will
rise. Correcting this market failure requires a federal price on carbon
that accounts for their true costs.
What Will Carbon Fee and Dividend Do?
Carbon Fee and Dividend will do four things:
1. Account for the cost of burning fossil fuels in the price consumers pay.
2. Cut emissions enough to stay below the 2C threshold for “dangerous”
warming.
3. Grow jobs and GDP without growing government one bit.
4. Recruit global participation.
citizensclimatelobby.org
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 37
The Text of the Carbon Fee and Dividend Proposal:
Therefore the following legislation is hereby enacted:
1. Collection of Carbon Fees/Carbon Fee Trust Fund: Upon enactment, impose a carbon
fee on all fossil fuels and other greenhouse gases at the point where they first
enter the economy. The fee shall be collected by the Treasury Department. The fee
on that date shall be $15 per ton of CO2 equivalent emissions and result in equal
charges for each ton of CO2 equivalent emissions potential in each type of fuel or
greenhouse gas. The Department of Energy shall propose and promulgate regulations
setting forth CO2 equivalent fees for other greenhouse gases including at a minimum
methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
perfluorocarbons, and nitrogen trifluoride. The Treasury shall also collect the
fees imposed upon the other greenhouse gases. 100% of the net revenues are to be
placed in the Carbon Fees Trust Fund and be rebated to American households as
outlined below.
2. Methane Leakage: Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 with both
direct and indirect effects contributing to warming. It is therefore important to
place a fee on methane that leaks to the atmosphere. Some of this leakage will
occur after the fee has been assessed on methane under the assumption that it will
be burned to yield the less potent CO2. To ensure the integrity of the program and
that markets receive accurate information with regard to the climate forcings
caused by various fossil fuels, the carbon fee shall be assessed on such leaked
methane at a rate commensurate with the global warming potential (“GWP”) of methane
including both its direct and indirect effects. Given the importance of tipping
points in the climate system, the 20-year GWP of methane shall be used to assess
the fee, and not the 100-year GWP. As proper accounting for such leakage is
necessary for honest assessment of progress towards program goals, reasonable steps
to assess the rate of methane leakage shall be implemented, and leaked methane
shall be priced accordingly. The entity responsible for the leaked methane shall be
responsible for paying the fee.
3. Emissions Reduction Targets: To align US emissions with the physical constraints
identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to avoid
irreversible climate change, the yearly increase in carbon fees including other
greenhouse gases, shall be at least $10 per ton of CO2 equivalent each year.
Annually, the Department of Energy shall determine whether an increase larger than
$10 per ton per year is needed to achieve program goals. Yearly price increases of
at least $10 per year shall continue until total U.S. CO2-equivalent emissions have
been reduced to 10% of U.S. CO2-equivalent emissions in 1990.
4. Equal Per-Person Monthly Dividend Payments: Equal monthly per-person dividend
payments shall be made to all American households (½ payment per child under 18
years old, with a limit of 2 children per family) each month. The total value of
all monthly dividend payments shall represent 100% of the total carbon fees
collected per month less administrative costs.
5. Border Adjustments: In order to ensure that U.S.-made goods can remain competitive
at home and abroad and to provide an additional incentive for international
adoptions of carbon fees, Carbon-Fee-Equivalent Tariffs shall be charged for goods
entering the U.S. from countries without comparable Carbon Fees/Carbon Pricing.
Carbon-Fee-Equivalent Rebates shall be used to reduce the price of exports to such
countries and to ensure that U.S. goods can remain competitive in those countries.
The Department of Commerce will determine rebate amounts and exemptions if any.

Financial Impact on Households of Carbon Fee and Dividend
Local Impacts in California - District 11
Introduction
This study on the impact to households of Carbon Fee and Dividend was funded to respond to concerns
expressed by members of Congress that constituents in their district would not benefit under our
proposal. Key to the concerns expressed was not only understanding how the average constituent did,
but how different groups of constituents fared. Concern for low-income constituents, for instance, is
common for members of both parties.
Figure 1: National Averages by Economic Quintile. Note that the three lowest-income quintiles show
a benefit for the mean (average) household. The average net benefit for the lowest-income quintile is
1.78% of income, whereas households in the top quintile experience, on average, net losses that are a

Figure 2: Impact by Quintile for California - District 11. Looking at the categories on the bottom of
this graph, only the numbers for “Mean Net Benefit” and “Median HH income % of FPL” include all
households in a given quintile (FPL = Federal Poverty Line). Only those households who receive a
financial gain are included in calculating the “Median Gain” figures, and likewise, only those
households which experience a loss are included in calculating the “Median Loss” figures.
Figure 3: Impact by Race for California - District 11. Minority households tend to do better than
white households as a result of lower average incomes (associated with lower carbon footprint) and/or
more people per household (larger pre-tax dividend).
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 40
Figure 4: Impact by Age Group for California - District 11. The pattern of benefits across age groups
makes sense given the impact of age on both carbon footprints and dividend received. Older households
tend to have smaller footprints, reflecting reduced mobility and less consumption as a result of low fixed
incomes. Younger households tend to be larger – and therefore benefited by the dividend formula – in
addition to less income/consumption in early career.
Figure 5: Impact by Household Type for California - District 11. This graph reports data for
demographic groups of particular interest to many legislators. “Elderly” households are defined as
having a household head age 65 or older, no more than two adults, and no children present. “Poverty”
and “Low income” refer to households with income below 100% and 200% of FPL, respectively.

Figure 6: Impact by Community for California - District 11. This graph breaks down data by
“community type” – Rural, Suburb or Town, vs Urban.
Figure 7: Expenditures by Category for California - District 11. Here we show a breakdown of
where the carbon fee increases expenses (i.e. before the dividend) for each quintile. Note that direct
energy expenditures (gasoline and utilities) represent less than half of the expense for most quintiles
with other products and services making up the rest. Quintile 1 shows low expenditure for private health
care since most health care for households in this quintile is covered by government programs. Allocated
Private Fixed Income (PFI) measures economy-wide spending on fixed assets (e.g. structures,
equipment, software, etc.) that are used in the production of goods and services.

Figure 8: Relationship between benefit and income for California - District 11. This line graph
shows the relationship between income expressed as a percentage of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) vs.
the average (mean) benefit as a percentage of income for households. Benefits are highest for those at
the lowest income levels and generally positive through 200-300% of the FPL. Average loss for those
with higher incomes is relatively small as a percentage of annual income. To avoid anomalies from
small sample size at the margins, this graph does not include results for households in the bottom 1% of
income, nor those above the 90th percentile of income in the district. This graph also does not convey
information about how much of the population in the district is at any given point along the line.

Assembly Joint Resolution No. 43
RESOLUTION CHAPTER 168
Assembly Joint Resolution No. 43—Relative to greenhouse gases.
[Filed with Secretary of State September 1, 2016.]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
AJR 43, Williams. Greenhouse gases: climate change. This measure would urge the United
States Congress to enact a tax on carbon-based fossil fuels.
WHEREAS, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has stated in its recently released
5th Assessment Report, Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis, that “[w]arming of
the climate system is unequivocal” and “[i]t is extremely likely that human influence has been the
dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century”; and
WHEREAS, In May of 2013, the global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide reached
400 parts per million, the highest level in the last 800,000 years; and
WHEREAS, In May 2014, two separate scientific papers were published in journals of
Geophysical Research Letters documenting dramatic retreats of Antarctic glaciers and predicting
that large-scale destruction of the West Antarctic ice sheets is likely now inevitable and will lead
to sea level rises of 10 feet or more; and
WHEREAS, The 2013 Indicators of Climate Change in California, released by the Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, found that continued warming of the atmosphere
would cause threats of flooding along the coastline of California; threats to infrastructure, sewage
systems, wetlands, and marine life; increased ocean acidification; increased threats from
wildfires; threats to the water supply from decreased snow packs; increased asthma and
respiratory illness due to higher ozone levels; increased insurance and mitigation costs; and
negative impacts to the agriculture, fishing, and tourism industries; and
WHEREAS, Conservative estimates by climate scientists throughout the world state that, to
achieve climate stabilization and avoid cataclysmic climate change, emissions of greenhouse
gases must be brought to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050; and
WHEREAS, The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Division 25.5 (commencing
with Section 38500) of the Health and Safety Code) commits the state to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and the Governor’s Executive Order S-3-05 further calls on the
96 state to establish a policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels
by 2050; and
WHEREAS, The California Global Warming Solution Act of 2006 has reached its 10-year
anniversary and the California economy remains strong; and
WHEREAS, The United States needs powerful new policies to meet its greenhouse gas emission
reduction goals established in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement; and
WHEREAS, The United States Congress can enact a national carbon tax on fossil fuels, based on
the amount of carbon dioxide the fuel will emit when burned; and
WHEREAS, For efficient administration, fossil fuels can be taxed once, as far upstream in the
economy as practical, or at the port of entry into the United States; and
WHEREAS, A national, revenue-neutral carbon tax starting at a relatively low rate and increasing
steadily over future years is a market-based solution that would minimally disrupt the economy
while sending a clear and predictable price signal to businesses to develop and use noncarbon-
based energy resources; and
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 45
WHEREAS, Citizens’ Climate Education Corporation Commissioned Regional Economic
Models, Inc. (REMI) to do a nation-wide macroeconomic study on the impact of a revenue-
neutral carbon tax; and
WHEREAS, REMI’s study predicted that, after 10 years, a revenue-neutral carbon tax would lead
to a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions by 33 percent, an increase in national employment by
2.1 million jobs, and an average monthly dividend for a family of four of $288; and
WHEREAS, Border adjustments, such as carbon-content-based tariffs on products imported from
countries without comparable carbon pricing and refunds to our exporters of carbon taxes paid
can maintain the competitiveness of United States businesses in global markets; and
WHEREAS, A national carbon tax can be implemented quickly and efficiently, and respond to
the urgency of the climate crisis, because the federal government already has in place
mechanisms, such as the Internal Revenue Service, needed to implement and enforce the tax and
already collects taxes from fossil fuel producers and importers; and
WHEREAS, A national carbon tax would make the United States a leader in mitigating climate
change and the advancing clean energy technologies of the 21st Century, and would incentivize
other countries to enact similar carbon taxes, thereby reducing global carbon dioxide emissions
without the need for complex international agreements; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly and the Senate of the State of California, jointly,
That the Legislature hereby urges the United States Congress to enact, without delay, a tax on
carbon-based fossil fuels; and be it further
Resolved, That the tax should be collected once, as far upstream in the economy as practical, or at
the port of entry into the United States; and, be it further
Resolved, That the tax rate should start low and increase steadily and predictably to achieve the
goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the United States to 80 percent below 1990 levels
by 2050; and be it further
Resolved, That all tax revenue should be returned to middle- and low-income Americans to
protect them from the impact of rising prices due to the tax; and, be it further
Resolved, That the international competitiveness of United States businesses should be protected
by using carbon-content-based tariffs and tax refunds; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the President
and Vice President of the United States, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to the
Majority Leader of the Senate, to each Senator and Representative from California in the
Congress of the United States, and to the author for appropriate distribution.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
A. ACCEPT report on potential regulation of short-term rental of private dwellings within unincorporated
areas of the County.
B. PROVIDE general direction to staff from the Department of Conservation and Development on
preparation of an ordinance regulating the short-term rental of private dwellings within the unincorporated
areas of the County.
C. DIRECT staff to submit the draft ordinance, once it is prepared, to the County Planning Commission for
review and recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs of preparing an ordinance to regulate and permit short-term rental activities and other provisions will
be assumed by the Department of Conservation and Development (Land Development Fund). The
estimated staff cost of preparing an ordinance is expected to be within the $30,000 - $50,000 range, but
could be higher or lower depending upon the amount of additional research required, the complexity of
regulatory approach chosen and the type and duration of the public process. The County could establish
fees for short-term rental permits that could cover some or perhaps all costs of implementing an ordinance.

Subject:Regulation of Short-Term Rental Activity Within Unincorporated Contra Costa County
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 51
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
An ordinance permitting such rentals would facilitate collection of transient occupancy tax (TOT) and
would lead to additional tax revenue for the County.
BACKGROUND:
In response to concerns that state-mandated easing of restrictions on accessory dwelling units would
lead to increased conversion of existing or future accessory dwelling units to short-term rentals instead
of permanent housing, the Board of Supervisors (Board) has directed staff to initiate the process of
creating an ordinance to regulate the use. Currently, the County does not permit or allow short-term
rental activity. (Short-term rental activity is defined as the rental of a private dwelling or portion thereof
for a period of less than 30-days). Hotels and motels are not allowed within residential zoning districts.
Unregulated short-term rental activity in residential communities has the potential to negatively impact
the character of neighborhoods, the availability of permanent housing stock, and create a public
nuisance. Well-regulated short-term rentals may provide revenue to owners, an attractive
accommodation option for guests and potentially additional TOT revenue.
This report is the third in a series of reports to the Board on this matter and addresses the following
topics:
-Review of September 19, 2017, Board meeting and direction to staff on short-term rental regulation.
-Review of February 27, 2018, Board meeting and discussion of community feedback.
-Refined regulatory framework.
-Recap of Potential Voluntary Collection Agreement with Airbnb
-A general description of potential next steps.
A desired outcome of this meeting is for the Board to provide DCD staff with specific direction on key
regulatory elements to include in a draft short-term rental ordinance.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2017, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING
At the September 19, 2017, Board meeting, staff summarized the advantages and disadvantages of
short-term rentals and presented a wide range of regulatory options available to the County. The
presentation included a brief summary of regulatory approaches of several other jurisdictions and a
range of regulatory options from more permissive to more restrictive. After accepting staff's
presentation, the Board framed its preferences and directed staff to gather community input via the
County's Municipal Advisory Committees.
FEBRUARY 27, 2018, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING
At the February 27, 2018, Board meeting, staff presented the results of community feedback on those
regulatory elements that the Board initially expressed interest. The responses collected from the various
Municipal Advisory Committees suggested that there was significant concurrence with the regulatory
elements that had been preliminarily identified by the Board. The elements that enjoyed the most
widespread support are: 90-day per year limits, notification of neighbors, requiring adequate parking,
requiring a ministerial permit and a business license, payment of TOT, prohibiting special events,
limiting the number of guests, and including performance standards and revocation procedures. The
elements that were supported at lower levels or for which the level of support was about equal to the
level of non-support are: allowing non-hosted rentals, requiring rental to be owner's principal residence
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 52
and requiring/allowing a land use permit for exceptions.
The Board discussed the elements and the community feedback and directed staff to report back by
September with more detail on potential requirements associated with each regulatory element.
REFINED REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
In response to Board direction, staff prepared a table outlining key potential provisions associated with
the list of regulatory elements reviewed previously (see attached table). The potential provisions are
intended to complement existing County requirements and to balance safeguards with the need for an
ordinance that can be practically implemented. In many instances, application for a discretionary land
use permit is suggested as a means for an applicant to request operating conditions in excess of the limits
proposed for the ministerial permit process.
RECAP OF POTENTIAL VOLUNTARY COLLECTION AGREEMENT WITH
AIRBNB
In 2017, the Board directed staff to begin communication with Airbnb regarding a Voluntary Collection
Agreement (VCA). The VCA is a mechanism for Airbnb to collect TOT tax on behalf of Airbnb hosts
and transmit it to the County in aggregate. Staff have been in contact with Airbnb and are reviewing the
VCA template provided by Airbnb. Preliminary review suggests that it may be prudent to update the
County's TOT ordinance to be consistent with the VCA approach. Staff proposes to work with the
Treasurer/Tax Collector on this matter.
Staff will continue to work on the VCA as the ordinance to regulate short-term rentals is being drafted.
To ensure consistency, staff would propose the Board consider the BCA concurrent with the regulations
as well as any update to the TOT Ordinance.
NEXT STEPS
1. Upon the Board's acceptance of the specified regulatory approach, staff will begin preparation of a
Draft Short-Term Rental Ordinance.
2. The Draft Short-Term Ordinance will be presented to the County Planning Commission for review
and recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
3. Board considers Draft Short-Term Ordinance, Voluntary Collection Agreement and any update to
TOT Ordinance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board elects to prohibit the rental of private property on a short-term basis entirely, the County
will not receive any Transient Occupancy Tax from the use.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
The Board clarified the language for off-street parking should note that the term 'available' is
preferred over 'provide'; stated a desire for an exemption for children 12 and under in regard to guest
limits per rental property; and requested a more definitive or descriptive use of the word parties as
related to special events. The Board ACCEPTED the report; PROVIDED general direction for staff;
and DIRECTED staff to submit the draft ordinance, once it is prepared, to the County Planning
Commission for review and recommendation to the Board.

Background
In response to concerns raised that new, state-mandated easing
of restrictions on constructing accessory dwelling units could
lead to an increase in short-term rentals rather than more
permanent housing, the Board of Supervisors has directed the
Department of Conservation and Development staff to evaluate
preparing an ordinance which would regulate short-term rental
of dwellings.
The Board has also separately been exploring a potential
agreement with AirBnB to facilitate collection of Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT).

Existing County Regulation
The County currently does not issue permits for
short-term rentals nor does it grant requests for
business licenses for such activities.
Nonetheless, a review of short-term rental
websites indicates that such rentals are being
offered. Some examples include entire homes,
entire apartments or condos and rooms in houses
or condos.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
Additional revenue loss will be realized beyond what is shown in the table. The additional loss
will come from lost opportunities from grant programs which rely on SB1 as local match funds.
If Proposition 6 passes in November, the revenue received by the County up to February 2019
does not need to be reimbursed. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the projects already
constructed. There are some existing projects currently in design that have secured grant
funds with a local match of RMRA funds in the next few fiscal years. In this circumstance, the
County may be required to return the grant funds because it is anticipated that we will not
have sufficient funds to backfill the loss of SB1 funds.
BACKGROUND:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of
2017. SB1 invests more than $5 billion annually directly for maintenance, repair, and safety improvements on state highways,
local streets and roads, bridges, tunnels and overpasses. SB1 also provides investments in mass transit to help relieve
congestion.
SB1 has significant accountability and transparency provisions designed to ensure the public has full access to information on
how their tax dollars are being invested. Cities and Counties must publicly adopt and submit to the California Transportation
Commission a planned list of projects and year-end reporting that accounts for every single dollar of SB1 revenue.
During the approval of the Fiscal Year 18/19 SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) project list, the Board
of Supervisor’s Transportation Water and Infrastructure Committee (TWIC) recommended that staff provide the full Board of
Supervisors an update on the implementation of the RMRA projects at their September 25, 2018 Board meeting. In addition,
at the time of the TWIC meeting, it was unknown if the effort to repeal the SB1 gas tax would make the ballot in November.
The Committee recommended that staff inform the full Board of Supervisors on the impacts the repeal effort would have on
the County’s Road Program. The repeal effort has since qualified for the November 2018 ballot and is known as Proposition 6.
The purpose of this staff report is to provide the Board of Supervisors an update on the implementation of the approved
RMRA projects for the County and to provide information on the possible impacts of Proposition 6 on the County’s Road
Program.
SB1 RMRA Project Implementation UpdateThe County has now submitted two lists to the California Transportation Commission, as reviewed and approved in public
meetings by the Board of Supervisors, for projects funded with RMRA revenues.
The following is a summary of the projects from each of the first two RMRA lists approved by the Board of Supervisors. Also
noted is the current status of each of these projects (note that some of the projects are listed in both years as each fiscal
year allocation funded different phases of the project):

September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 71
Blackhawk Road Bikeway Project – PROJECT COMPLETE
Alhambra Valley Road Creek Embankment Repair – PROJECT IN DESIGN (expected construction 2020)
The projects completed to date are consistent with the criteria for SB1-RMRA funds which include, but are not limited to: 1)
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation; 2) Safety Projects; 3) Railroad Grade Separations; 4) Complete Streets Components; 5)
Traffic Control Devices. The County projects are spread over the entire county providing benefits to residents and the
traveling public in all parts of the County.
Prior to the passage of SB1, many of the projects listed above were delayed because of insufficient gas tax funds. Public
Works on two occasions made presentations to the TWIC and the Board of Supervisors highlighting the need to delay
projects due to the gas tax being a declining revenue source and insufficient funds to meet minimum maintenance
operational needs. With the passage of SB1, we have been able to clear the queue of delayed projects. If SB1 survives the
recall vote, staff will focus our attention on future years, making sure the County’s unincorporated road network is well
maintained and safe and enjoyed by the various users of the system.
Proposition 6 – Impacts to the County’s Road Program
What’s at Risk?
Due to Proposition 6 being on the ballot, staff must concurrently prepare for next year’s SB1-RMRA project list submittal, AND
plan for cutting and/or delaying maintenance and capital improvement projects in the queue in the event the SB1 recall is
successful.
The estimated revenue impact by fiscal year is shown in the Fiscal Impact section of this report. Over nine years, the impact
to unincorporated Contra Costa County is $239,990,000 or an average of $26.7 million per year (not including lost grant
opportunities). SB1 revenues are planned to fund our maintenance and operations to improve the condition of our existing
road assets, improve road safety and reduce fatal and major injury collisions, relieve congestion, and improve mobility for
vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
There are large multi-year projects currently in the development process. This includes the Kirker Pass Road Truck Climbing
Lanes project and others that require SB1 revenues to go to construction. The Kirker Pass Road project is funded with a
combination of secured grant funds and SB1 local match funds. If Proposition 6 is successful, the County will not have the
capacity to make up the local match funds. This will put the project and grant funds at risk requiring the County to pay back
any grant monies used to date. Because of the complexity of this project, some pre-construction work has started such as
clearing of vegetation and utility relocation work. Not only is the loss of grant funding at risk, but also our ability to deliver
this important safety project in the foreseeable future. Kirker Pass Road is on the County’s High Injury Network and this
project would separate slow moving trucks from the higher speed vehicles. The separation would improve safety and help
reduce collisions on the road.
Public Works has developed a 3-year outlook for road network improvement projects. Many of these projects rely on gas tax
funds, and in particular SB1-RMRA funds to move to construction. Although staff is still working on a recommendation to the
Board pending the outcome of Proposition 6, the following list of projects are all considered to be at risk of being delayed
and/or cancelled if Proposition 6 is successful:
Projects at Risk (3-year outlook)
Kirker Pass Road Truck Climbing Lane
Vasco Road Improvements
Byron Highway Improvements
Appian Way Complete Streets
San Pablo Dam Road Improvements
Norris Canyon Road Safety Improvements
Route 239 – Vasco Road/Byron Highway Connector Project
Baily Road/SR4 Interchange Improvements
Marsh Creek Road Safety Improvements
Camino Tassajara Bike Lane Gap Closure
Countywide Guardrail Upgrade
Parker Avenue Sidewalk and Pedestrian Crossing
Marsh Creek Road Bridge Replacement (Bridges 143 & 145)
Bel Air Trail Crossing Safety Improvements
Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement Project
Fred Jackson Way, First Mile/Last Mile Connection Project
Byron Highway Bridge Replacement
Ability to respond to emergencies – slides, sinkholes, etc. (e.g. Morgan Territory Rd. and Alhambra Valley Rd.)
Programs at Risk (3-year outlook)
Annual Surface Treatment Program (we cancelled our surface treatment program the year prior to SB1 being approved
due to insufficient revenue)
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 72
Annual Culvert Replacement Program
Bridge Repair and Replacement Program
Complete Streets Implementation
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
Traffic Safety Investigations
Curb Ramp Program
Grant Program
Developer Impact Fee Program
The projects and programs above are related to the 663 miles of unincorporated County roads. Contra Costa residents will
experience additional impacts if Proposition 6 is successful from delayed and/or cancelled projects being implemented by the
County’s 19 Cities, Contra Costa Transportation Authority, Caltrans for the State freeways and highways, and transit agencies.
The funding amounts and projects at risk are the following:
SB1 funding for Contra Costa Cities Contra Costa’s 19 Cities: $272,041,000 loss over the next 10 years
SB1 Formula Funds Caltrans – I-80 Repaving $76.8 million
CCTA – SR4/680 Interchange $20.5 million
BART with AC Transit $21.4 million
Tri Delta, West CAT, County Connection $815k
State Transportation Improvement Program $1.9 million/year
Local Partnerships for “self help” counties and cities $2.4 million/year CCTA, $100k each to Orinda, El Cerrito,
Martinez
SB1 Competitive Funds 680/4 Phase 3 $33.6 million
Bike/Ped Projects $1.5 million
Planning Studies $800k
Total Contra Costa Funding at Risk over the next 10 years is approximately $710 million.
Without adequate revenues, our ability to properly maintain, operate, and improve the County’s road network will be at risk.
This will lead to additional potholes, safety issues, congestion, sink holes, and impact the efficient mobility of people and
goods movement. In addition, if Proposition 6 is successful, the problems listed don’t go away. In fact, the problem becomes
more expensive to resolve. For example doing preventative maintenance when a road is still in good shape will extend the life
of the pavement and cost approximately $2-$4/square yard. If revenues are insufficient to do preventative maintenance and
we let the roads continue to deteriorate, the cost to repair them in as short as 10-15 years could escalate to
$30-$100/square yard, adding to our current maintenance backlog of $88 million.
In summary, the passage of Proposition 6 will 1) directly reduce the amount of gas tax revenue available for transportation
projects, 2) indirectly reduce funds available due to loss of grants, and 3) reduce the cost effectiveness of the remaining
transportation fund expenditures due to the compromised preventative maintenance program.
Options to consider if Proposition 6 is successful
If Proposition 6 is successful in November, staff will be putting together recommendations on which projects will be delayed
and/or cancelled (projects listed above are all considered at risk). In addition, staff will be proposing changes to how the road
program is managed which includes reducing level of service expectations. The following list is a preliminary brainstorm of
possible options for the Board of Supervisors to consider in managing the County’s road program should Proposition 6 be
successful.
Eliminate network “improvements” (adding assets like bike lanes, sidewalks, additional lanes, etc.). Any capital
improvement project that would “add” to the cost of basic maintenance operations would not be considered unless it is
a well-documented safety issue.
Focus maintenance on roads currently in good condition. Don’t invest in failed roads (reduce service level expectation).
No congestion relief projects (typically require expanding the network and adds future operational costs)
Safety projects will be reduced (inability to fund the local Highway Safety Improvement Program project match)
Reversion to gravel roads for select roads
Reactive versus Proactive culvert repair – sinkholes
We will not fill the Traffic Safety Investigator second position
Longer time to restore storm damage to roads – one lane sections to remain for years (reduced service level
expectation)
Grant Program scaled back. Loss of additional revenue.
Do not invest road funds into the Clean Water Program (impacts to street sweeping, trash capture, and cleanups).
Possible fines of $10,000 per day.

Other Information
The issue of SB1 funding and Proposition 6 is a complicated one. We have provided the Board of Supervisors information on
what we have been able to accomplish in the 1 ½ years since SB1 has been implemented. Public Works continues to gear up
the process to push the SB1 funds out to construction as fast as possible. As the program matures, the growing number of
improvements will provide benefits to the public in terms of better pavements, less congestion, safer roads, and more options
in travel modes. There are many questions that are being debated. We have attached a Frequently Asked Questions and
Answers document provided by the California Engineers Association of California and the California State Association of
Counties. In addition to this document, we are including the following information for your use:

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board of Supervisors does not accept the report, the public will have less information on the progress the County has
made to date with SB1 – RMRA funds and the knowledge of what County projects and programs are at risk should
Proposition 6 pass in November.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
If Proposition 6 passes, it will be more difficult to fund implementation of Safe Routes to School projects and address the
safety issues of children riding their bikes and walking to school using the County road network. (Children’s Report Card

Gas Tax:
User based tax to maintain, operate, and improve the
State’s transportation network.
SB1 – Senate Bill 1:
Raised gas tax and vehicle registration fees to fund
transportation improvements and indexed tax to keep
pace with inflation
Proposition 6:
If successful, it would repeal the new gas tax and
registration fees and change the voting threshold for
any future transportation related tax

Options being evaluated if SB1
repealed (If Prop 6 is successful)
Eliminate network “improvements” (adding
assets like bike lanes, sidewalks, additional
lanes, etc.). Any capital improvement
project that would add to the cost of
operations would not be considered unless
it is a well documented safety issue.
If we don’t have the funds to maintain what we already
have, it would be irresponsible to add to that maintenance
burden with additional or expanded facilities.

Frequently asked questions…
Will any of the SB1 funding go into the State’s General
Fund?
No funding from SB1 goes into the General Fund. Revenues
go directly into transportation accounts and are
constitutionally protected.
Will SB1 fund High-Speed Rail?
No funds raised from SB1 will be used to fund High-Speed
Rail.
Will any of SB1 revenues be used to pay back old
transportation loans?
No. All outstanding transportation loans are being repaid by
the General Fund. All loans will be repaid by 2020.

September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 157
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
5. DIRECT the Director of Conservation and Development, or designee, to file the CEQA Notice of
Exemption with the County Clerk-Recorder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with this Board recommendation. Overall, the current
department cost in staff time and materials for preparation of the County Cannabis Ordinance is
approximately $270,000. The expense for preparation of the ordinance is included in the department
budget. According to the County Administrator's Office, if the county cannabis tax measure is approved
by County voters in November, potential annual general fund revenues from the cannabis tax could be in
the $1.7-$4.4 million range.
BACKGROUND:
This is a "clean-up" of the Cannabis Ordinance as approved by the Board on June 26, 2018. The
clean-up will amend Chapter 84-86 of the County Cannabis Ordinance Code to include the
unincorporated Knightsen area in the Cannabis Exclusion (-CE) Combining District. This ordinance also
amends Chapter 88-28 of the Ordinance Code to provide that a land use permit issued for a
vertically-integrated business that includes both storefront retail and commercial cultivation will count
toward the 4-permit limit for storefront retail but will not count towards the 10-permit limit for
commercial cultivation. This ordinance also requires cannabis delivery businesses located outside of
unincorporated Contra Costa County to possess a current County health permit. This ordinance will
become operative on the effective date of the Contra Costa County Cannabis Business Tax Ordinance
only if the tax ordinance is approved by a majority of voters voting on the tax ordinance at the
November 6, 2018, general election.
I. KNIGHTSEN REZONING TO CANNABIS EXCLUSION (-CE) COMBINING
DISTRICT
At the June 26, 2018 hearing on adoption of the Cannabis Ordinance, Supervisor Burgis expressed
concern regarding the potential to establish commercial cannabis uses in the Knightsen area. The
Knightsen community expressed their opposition to allowing the establishment of commercial cannabis
activities within their community during the public outreach process for the cannabis ordinance.
The purpose of the Cannabis Exclusion (-CE) combining district was to ensure that commercial cannabis
businesses/operations (commercial cultivation, sales, manufacturing, testing and distribution) are not
established in remote areas where law enforcement, fire protection code enforcement presence is limited
and response times are longer. Knightsen is a mostly rural community located in eastern Contra Costa
County, south of Oakley and east of the City of Brentwood. The majority of Knightsen is zoned for
agricultural use, with the exception being the area of the original Knightsen Townsite located between
2nd Street, Delta Road and Knightsen Avenue, and the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe railroad property
located across Knightsen Avenue. The properties within the Knightsen Townsite along the western side
of Knightsen Avenue are zoned Retail Business (R-B) and the AT&SF RR property is zoned
Commercial (C) meaning that those properties may be eligible for certain commercial cannabis uses
under the new cannabis ordinance. In order to prevent the potential establishment of commercial
cannabis uses on any of the properties in Knightsen within the Retail-Business (R-B) zoning district, or
any other compatible zoning districts, the area of Knightsen shown on the attached maps will be rezoned
to the Cannabis Exclusion (-CE) Combining District.
II. VERTICALLY INTEGRATED BUSINESSES WITH STOREFRONT
The amended ordinance also provides clarification of Section 88-28.402(c)(4) in Chapter 88-28, which
currently counts vertically integrated businesses which include commercial cultivation and retail sales
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 158
towards the 10-permit commercial cultivation limit. The revision clarifies that vertically integrated
businesses which include commercial cultivation and storefront retail will not count towards the
commercial cultivation limit of 10 permits but will count towards the storefront retailer limit of 4 permits.
III. CANNABIS DELIVERY HEALTH PERMIT REQUIREMENT
The ordinance will also be amended to include the requirement that a health permit be obtained from the
County Health Department for cannabis delivery businesses operating from outside the County. Section
88-28.406(b)(2)(A) of the Cannabis Ordinance will be revised to require that licensed and permitted
cannabis delivery businesses located outside the County be required to obtain a County business license
and a current County health permit issued under Chapter 413-4 of the County Code. The original section
of the ordinance only required a County business license, but subsequent to adoption of the Cannabis
Ordinance by the Board in June 2018, a County Cannabis Health Ordinance was adopted by the Board
of Supervisors on July 24, 2018 that included a permit requirement for cannabis delivery businesses
operating from outside the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the changes to the County Cannabis Ordinance are not approved Knightsen will not be rezoned into
the Cannabis Exclusion Combining District, vertically integrated businesses with a storefront and
cultivation will be counted toward the commercial cultivation cap and storefront cap, and health permits
will not be required for delivery businesses operating outside the County.

on a portion of Kenyon Avenue, approaching Kensington Hilltop Elementary School, is more than is
reasonable or safe, and a 20-mile-per-hour prima facie speed limit is justified as the appropriate speed limit
during school hours.

Subject:Establish school zone speed limit on Kenyon Avenue (Road No. 1655AH), Kensington area.
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 166
BACKGROUND:
A resident requested lowering the existing 25 mile per hour speed limits approaching Kensington Hilltop
Elementary School. The Traffic Safety Investigator conducted an investigation which included a site
visit, observation of vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian activity. This area feature few formal sidewalks, and
the roadways are narrow. It was determined an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) was required to
support any potential reduction in the existing speed limit.
On January 1, 2008, California Assembly Bill (AB) 321 went into effect allowing local jurisdictions,
through an ordinance or resolution, to extend the 25 miles per hour prima facie speed limit in school
zones from 500 feet to 1,000 feet from the school grounds and to reduce the speed limit to 15 to 20 miles
per hour up to 500 feet from the school grounds, under certain conditions.
California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22358.4 states the Board of Supervisors through adopted
resolution, may reduce the speed limit on roads within 500 feet of a school to 15 or 20 miles per hour
based on an E&TS. CVC Section 627 establishes provisions justifying the reduced speed limit must be
documented in an engineering study with the following: crash records, highway conditions not readily
apparent to the driver, residential density, and safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. When established, the
20 miles per hour school zone speed limit is in effect when children are present; which is generally
during the periods when children are arriving at, or departing from school.
An E&TS was subsequently conducted according to established traffic engineering standards. The
factual findings of the survey determined this section of roadway had multiple unusual conditions; there
is a high number of pedestrians, students and bicyclist traveling within the roadway during school hours.
The crosswalk is unmonitored and used by elementary school aged children. There is no parking on the
east side of Kenyon Avenue due to the roadway width. The critical speed (85th percentile) was found to
be 19 miles per hour. Based on the results of the E&TS, Public Works recommends the establishment of
a school zone speed limit of 20 miles per hour for a portion of Kenyon Avenue near Kensington Hilltop
Elementary School. This speed limit is also consistent with proposed 20 mile per hour school zone speed
limits on two other roadways (Highland Boulevard and Arlmont Drive) bordering Kensington Hilltop
School boundaries. This action will allow the Kensington Police Department to enforce the school zone
speed limit on portions of Kenyon Avenue.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The existing 25 mile per hour speed limit will remain.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
A 20 mile per hour school zone speed limit (when children are present) will alert motorists they are in a
school zone.

through an ordinance or resolution, to extend the 25 miles per hour prima facie speed limit in school
zones from 500 feet to 1,000 feet from the school grounds and to reduce the speed limit to 15 to 20 miles
per hour up to 500 feet from the school grounds, under certain conditions.
California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22358.4 states the Board of Supervisors through adopted
resolution, may reduce the speed limit on roads within 500 feet of a school to 15 or 20 miles per hour
based on an E&TS. CVC Section 627 provisions justifying the reduced speed limit must be documented
in an engineering study with the following: crash records, highway conditions not readily apparent to the
driver, residential density, and safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. When established, the 20 miles per
hour school zone speed limit is in effect when children are present; which is generally during the periods
when children are arriving at, or departing from school.
An E&TS was subsequently conducted according to established traffic engineering standards. The
factual findings of the survey determined this section of roadway had multiple unusual conditions; there
is a high number of pedestrians, students and bicyclist traveling within the roadway during school hours.
There are no sidewalks at this location. The crosswalk is unmonitored and used by elementary school
aged children. There is no parking on the northeast side of Highland Boulevard due to the roadway
width. The critical speed (85th percentile) was found to be 16 miles per hour. Based on the results of the
E&TS, Public Works recommends the establishment of a school zone speed limit of 20 miles per hour
for a portion of Highland Boulevard near Kensington Hilltop Elementary School. This speed limit is also
consistent with proposed 20 miles per hour school zone speed limits on two other roadways (Kenyon
Ave. and Arlmont Drive) bordering Kensington Hilltop Elementary School boundaries. This action will
allow Kensington Police Department to enforce the 20 mile per hour school zone speed limit on portions
of Highland Avenue.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The existing 25 mile per hour speed limit will remain.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
A 20 mile per hour school zone speed limit (when children are present) will alert
motorists they are in a school zone.

Subject:Creek and Channel Safety Awareness Month and its Associated Program, Countywide. Project No. 7520-6B8311
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 182
BACKGROUND:
On March 1, 2011, the Board of Supervisors directed the FC District to develop a sustainable and
impactful outreach program to promote creek and channel safety throughout the County, after the
drowning of two high school students in the Walnut Creek channel. In response, the FC District formed
a CCSAP team that developed a strategy to achieve this goal.
On October 4, 2011, the Board declared October 2011 as the first Creek and Channel Safety Awareness
Month, accepted the status report from the FC District on the CCSAP, approved the implementation
plan, and directed the FC District to continue with implementation and initiation of an annual campaign
of a sustainable CCSAP, including a follow-up report to the Board in one year.
Since then, the Board of Supervisors received and approved a status report on the Annual CCSAP and
declared October as Creek and Channel Safety Awareness Month in the years 2012 through 2017. The
Board of Supervisors also directed the FC District to continue with implementation and the annual
campaign of a Countywide sustainable CCSAP, including a follow-up report to the Board in one year.
This past year, we refreshed the warning stencils and signs in our facilities, completed the annual
outreach to schools in fall, and worked with Walnut Creek Intermediate School to put on our annual
Creek and Channel Safety Event. The annual event involved working with the leadership class to help
develop and implement events for students that would raise student awareness of the “Stay Out, Stay
Alive!” campaign. The highly successful program engaged hundreds of students in such activities as a
poster competition, trivia contest, and demonstrations from Contra Costa Fire Protection District’s
Swiftwater Rescue personnel. This occurred on October 25, 2017, and it received positive local news
coverage. As in the past, several student posters were laminated and placed in prominent locations in
downtown Walnut Creek to communicate their safety message through the winter.
The Chief Engineer, FC District, recommends that the Board declare October 2018 as Creek and
Channel Safety Awareness Month, accept the above report, and direct the Public Works Department and
FC District to continue with implementation and the annual campaign of a Countywide sustainable
CCSAP, including a follow-up report to this Board in one year.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Resolution is not adopted, members of the public may not receive important information about
creek and channel safety.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The FC District will continue to work with the schools and youth-based groups within the County to
educate children about safety regarding creeks and flood control channels.

Subject:Acquisition of Used Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicle
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 188
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Field Airport. Until recently, the Public Works Department – Airports Division (Airport Division) has had
two ARFF vehicles in service at Buchanan Field. One that had been in service for nine years and the other
for 30 years. Just this month, the Airport acquired a third ARFF apparatus, a 27-year old vehicle that was
acquired from Global ARFF for $175,000 including upgrades to extend its useful life. As a result of this
acquisition, the Airport Division was able to relocate the 30-year old ARFF vehicle from Buchanan Field
Airport to Byron Airport.
The 30-year old vehicle that was just moved to Byron Airport is nearing the end of its useful life. The FAA
does not have specific regulations regarding ARFF vehicle replacement, but the related FAA Advisory
Circular states that, on average, ARFF vehicles have a 10 to 12-year service life. This board order will
allow the Airport Division to acquire another used ARFF apparatus to replace the one now in service at
Byron Airport. While Byron Airport does not have the same Federal requirement to maintain ARFF
capabilities, the presence of the equipment provides the highest level of ARFF protection to tenants and
may prove to be a major business/aircraft marketing advantage for the airport, helping it to meet its growth
and development goals.
New ARFF vehicles typically cost about $850,000. Given the high cost, the Airport Division believes
acquiring a newer used vehicle is the most cost-effective replacement option. For that reason, the Airport
Division proposes to continue to monitor the used ARFF market in order to locate and acquire a
replacement for the 30-year-old vehicle now at Byron Airport. This process could take several years.
The Aviation Advisory Committee, during its September 13, 2018 meeting, voted to support this
recommendation.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this acquisition is not approved, the Airport Enterprise Fund will continue to experience inconsistent
service reliability and high maintenance/repair costs associated with the older ARFF vehicle at Byron
Airport. Additionally, in the event of a major equipment failure, the Airport Enterprise Fund would likely
not be able to financially support a replacement ARFF apparatus to Byron Airport, since the cost to rent a
similar apparatus is approximately $6000 per month. This would result in the elimination of an ARFF unit
at the Byron Airport.

In the matter of:Resolution No. 2018/487
recognizing Sunday, September 30th as Gold Star Mother’s Day
Whereas, Gold Star Mothers are those whose son or daughter died during active
service in the United States military during a period of war or hostilities in which the
Armed Forces of the United States were engaged; and
Whereas, their child either died in combat, in a hospital, death by suicide, on a
training mission or at home while on leave from service, and
Whereas, the Gold Star Mothers are Moms, step-Moms, Grandmothers,
Mother-in-Law, Guardians; and
Whereas, becoming a Gold Star Mom is a distinction none of the mothers or families
ever wanted, but they accept this recognition since they are proud of their children
and their service; and
Whereas, the tradition of the Gold Star began during World War I, where during the
early days of the war blue star flags was hung in homes and business to honor an
active duty member, as individuals were killed in combat a gold star was
superimposed on the blue star to honor the individual for their sacrifice and eventually
the moms of those with a gold star became known as the Gold Star Mothers; and
Whereas, since then, Gold Star Mothers and families raise funds for veterans,
active-duty service members and their families, as well as other Gold Star families;
and
Whereas, the Gold Star Mothers are active year-round and serve our veterans
community by visiting veterans at the VA Martinez Outpatient Clinic and Center for
Rehabilitation and Extended Care and letting them know they are honored and not
forgotten, remembering them on their birthdays and holidays; and
Whereas, they have also been supportive of the Veteran’s Court, sit on committees
and boards which provide healing, training, coaching, recognition, counseling and
career placement for our veterans; and
Whereas, Gold Star Mothers are advocates: they meet with civic leaders and raise
awareness of our nation’s current military men and women; and
Whereas, since 1936, Gold Star Mother’s Day has been observed in the United States
on the last Sunday of September each year.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County recognizes Sunday,
September 30 th as Gold Star Mother’s Day and honors our Gold Star Mothers for their work and service to
the veterans, active military and their families in our community.

National Employ Older Workers Week
WHEREAS, with the average and median age of the U.S. population is rising, and the
composition of the workforce along with it; and
WHEREAS, by 2020, it is estimated that workers 55 and over will make up 25
percent of the U.S. civilian WHEREAS, the United States is undergoing a
demographic shift that is changing older Americans' relation to the workplace labor
force, up from 13 percent in 2000; and
WHEREAS, individual workers tend to remain in the workforce longer and retire later
in life. The number of workers over the traditional retirement age of 65 is increasing,
with projections this group will make up more than seven percent of the American
labor force by 2020; and
WHEREAS, in Contra Costa County, the rate of workers over the age of 65 is at 15
percent of the region’s workforce; and
WHEREAS, employers rate older workers high on characteristics such as judgment,
commitment to quality, attendance, and punctuality; and
WHEREAS, National Employ Older Workers Week, recognizes the vital role of older
workers in the workforce, and aims to increase awareness of this labor segment and
develop innovative strategies to tap it; and
WHEREAS, in Contra Costa County, the Senior Community Service Employment
Program (SCSEP) provides on-the-job skills training to individuals 55 or older who
have limited financial resources; and
WHEREAS, the Agency Area on Aging within the Employment & Human Services
Department administers SCSEP in Contra Costa County, in order to help seniors
navigate the job search by assisting with resume writing, mock interviewing,
demystifying application processes and developing soft skills; and
WHEREAS, senior issues particularly impact women as those approaching retirement
are living longer (an average of 20 years past age 65), have significantly less money
saved (an average of $34,000), and face increasing costs, especially for health care (an
average of $5,503 out-of-pocket expenses annually); and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Labor Department statistics show the gender pay gap has
women earning 21 percent less than men, a disparity that worsens among women of
color. Lower pay means less money saved, both in personal retirement accounts and
in Social Security benefits. Overall, women receive nearly $4,000 a year less in
Social Security than men; and
WHEREAS, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, African-American women
and Latinas earn less from social security, assets, and pensions than do white women,
and rely on Social Security for a larger portion of their income, and
WHEREAS, recent estimates show that up to 20 percent of working women are also
caring for an elderly loved one; and
WHEREAS, employers have the opportunity to acknowledge the positive
contributions of older American workers, and can create organizational climates that
support this experienced workforce.
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 213
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors proclaims and
acknowledges the week of September 23rd through 29th as National Older Workers Week which California has
observed for nearly 60 years.

Subject:OPPOSE Proposition 6, Repeal of Senate Bill 1 (2017) the Road Repair & Accountability Act (transportation funding)
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 221
BACKGROUND:
February 2017: The Board of Supervisors (BOS) adopted a position of SUPPORT on Senate Bill 1
(Beall) Transportation Funding and Reform Package (the subject of the Prop 6 repeal effort) and sent a
letter (attached) to the author and our delegation communicating that position.
April 2018: The BOS adopted Resolution 2018/130 (attached) opposing Proposed Initiative 17-0033.
Subsequent to that action, the proposal qualified to be on the November 2018 ballot and has been
designated Proposition 6, the subject of this report.
September 11, 2018: The BOS adopted an "Oppose" position, with summary background, on
Proposition 6 along with a number of other advocacy positions related to November 2018 ballot
measures.
UPDATE
This Board Order bolsters the September 11, 2018 action ("Oppose" Proposition 6) with additional
details on the broad the implications of Proposition 6. In addition, approval of Resolution 2018/482
would respond affirmatively to a request to join the "No on Prop 6" coalition which, at the County level,
is being coordinated by the California State Association of Counties.
In a separate report at the September 25th BOS meeting County staff is providing a comprehensive
report on the use and impacts of Senate Bill 1 - Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The
information found below was largely produced by the Secretary of State and the Legislative Analyst's
Office.
The Secretary of State ballot summary of Proposition 6: Eliminates Recently Enacted Road
Repair and Transportation Funding by Repealing Revenues Dedicated for Those Purposes. Requires
Any Measure to Enact Certain Vehicle Fuel Taxes and Vehicle Fees Be Submitted to and Approved by
the Electorate. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
The Legislative Analysts Office provides the following "Yes/No Statements", proposal summary, and
summary of fiscal impacts. :
A YES vote on this measure means: Fuel and vehicle taxes recently passed by the
Legislature would be eliminated, which would reduce funding for highway and road
maintenance and repairs, as well as transit programs. The Legislature would be
required to get a majority of voters to approve new or increased state fuel and
vehicle taxes in the future.
A NO vote on this measure means: Fuel and vehicle taxes recently passed by the
Legislature would continue to be in effect and pay for highway and road
maintenance and repairs, as well as transit programs. The Legislature would
continue not to need voter approval for new or increased state fuel and vehicle taxes
in the future.
Proposal
Requires Legislature to Get Voter Approval for Fuel and Vehicle Taxes. Proposition
6 amends the State Constitution to require the Legislature to get voter approval for
new or increased taxes on the sale, storage, use, or consumption of gasoline or
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 222
diesel fuel, as well as for taxes paid for the privilege of operating a vehicle on public
highways. Thus, the Legislature would need voter approval for such taxes as
gasoline and diesel excise and sales taxes, vehicle license fees, and transportation
improvement fees.
Eliminates Recently Enacted Fuel and Vehicle Taxes. Proposition 6 also eliminates
any such fuel and vehicle taxes passed by the Legislature after January 1, 2017 and
up to the date that Proposition 6 takes effect in December. This would eliminate the
increased fuel taxes and the transportation improvement fees enacted by SB 1.
Fiscal Effects
Eliminates Tax Revenues From SB 1. In the current fiscal year, Proposition 6 would
reduce SB 1 tax revenues from $4.4 billion to $2 billion—a $2.4 billion decrease.
(The $2 billion in remaining revenues would be from taxes collected prior to
Proposition 6 taking effect in December.) Two years from now, the revenue
reduction would total $5.1 billion annually. The funding reductions would mainly
affect highway and road maintenance and repair programs, as well as transit
programs.
Makes Passage of Specified Fuel and Vehicle Taxes More Difficult. Proposition 6
would make it more difficult to enact specified fuel and vehicle taxes because voters
also would have to approve them. As a result, there could be less revenue than
otherwise would be the case. Any reduction in revenues is unknown, as it would
depend on future actions by the Legislature and voters.

and
WHEREAS, Prop 6 would stop funding for more than 6,500 transportation improvement projects currently underway or planned
in every California community; and
WHEREAS, Prop 6 would jeopardize public safety by eliminating thousands of projects to fix unsafe bridges and overpasses,
repair crumbling and unsafe roads, and enhance pedestrian safety; and

Resolution No. 2018/130
In the Matter of Proposition 69, the June 2018 constitutional amendment to prevent new transportation funds from being diverted
for non-transportation purposes; and the proposed November ballot proposition (Attorney General #17-0033) that would repeal
the new transportation funds and make it more difficult to raise state and local transportation funds in the future.
WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than 81 percent of streets and roads in California, and from the moment
we open our front door to drive to work, bike to school, or walk to the bus station, people are dependent upon a safe, reliable
local transportation network; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment, which provides critical analysis and
information on the local transportation network’s condition and funding needs, indicates that the condition of the local
transportation network is deteriorating at an increasing rate; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties are facing a funding shortfall of $73 billion over the next 10-years to repair and maintain in a
good condition the local streets and roads system and the State Highway System has $57 billion worth of deferred maintenance;
and
WHEREAS, SB 1 – the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 – will raise approximately $5.4 billion annually in
long-term, dedicated transportation funding to rehabilitate and maintain local streets, roads, and highways, make critical,
life-saving safety improvements, repair and replace aging bridges and culverts, reduce congestion and increase mobility options
including bicycle and pedestrian facilities with the revenues split equally between state and local projects; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 provides critically-needed funding in Contra Costa County that will be used for much-needed road
improvement and maintenance projects; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 contains strong accountability and transparency provisions to ensure the public knows how their tax dollars
are being invested and the corresponding benefits to their community including annual project lists that identify planned
investments and annual expenditure reports that detail multi-year and completed projects; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 requires the State to cut bureaucratic redundancies and red tape to ensure transportation funds are spent
efficiently and effectively, and also establishes the independent office of Transportation Inspector General to perform audits,
improve efficiency and increase transparency; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 69 on the June 2018 ballot would add additional protections for taxpayers by preventing the State
Legislature from diverting or raiding any new transportation revenues for non-transportation improvement purposes; and
WHEREAS, there is also a proposed ballot measure aimed for the November 2018 ballot (Attorney General #17-0033) that
would repeal the new transportation revenues provided by SB 1 and make it more difficult to increase funding for state and local
transportation improvements in the future; and
WHEREAS, this proposed November proposition would raid approximately $15.3 million (annually 2017/18 to 2026/27)
dedicated to Contra Costa County (countywide), and halt critical investments in future transportation improvement projects in our
community; and
WHEREAS, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, on February 7, 2017, formally supported Senate Bill 1 (Beall), the
Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 which is the subject of both the protective constitutional amendment (Prop 69), and
the repeal effort (Proposed Initiative Attorney General #17-0033).
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 237

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the County-sponsored State legislation proposal, "Seniors/Persons with Disabilities
Transportation Funding Program".
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the County. This is a proposal for State legislation to allocate State cap and trade funds, State
General Funds and/or State bond funds to transportation services for seniors and persons with disabilities.
BACKGROUND:
While this proposal can stand alone based on statewide need, this initiative is a direct outgrowth of the
Accessible Transportation Strategic (ATS) Plan currently being initiated by the Contra Costa
Transportation Authority (CCTA) with assistance from County staff. The ATS Plan came about, in part, as
a result of Board of Supervisors (BOS) advocacy for improvements to transportation services for
seniors/persons with disabilities. This advocacy took place during the 2016 Measure X transportation sales
tax effort and the 2017 Countywide Transportation Plan process.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Relationship of Proposal to the ATS Plan
After receiving a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant in May 2018, CCTA and County
staff began preparations to launch the ATS Plan. That preparation included reaching out to various
stakeholders. Included in that outreach was CCTA's Bus Transit Coordinating Council (BTCC). The
BTCC communicated the concern that three studies of this type have been done in the past with little
success and asked how this study would be different. With that feedback staff reviewed the past efforts
and the numerous studies available that document why these types of efforts are frequently unsuccessful.
That review resulted in staff developing a strategy to address the various risk areas of the study. One
such area is that of funding availability. Funds in this field are notoriously scarce and dedicated almost
entirely to existing operations. There is little flexibility or surplus funding available to make system
changes or significant investment in capital or institutional capacity improvements. This proposal is
intended to address that issue by making State funds available to make system improvements and
respond to increased due to demographic shifts demand without drawing on existing operations
funding.
Legislation Proposal Summary
The details of the Seniors/Persons with Disabilities (SPD) Transportation Funding Program proposal can
be seen in the two attachments. In summary, the proposal seeks funding to address two long standing
problems in providing transportation service to this population, 1) the well documented need to increase
coordination, make necessary systemic changes and improvements to the way these services are
provided in order to increase efficiencies and access to services, and 2) increased operations funding
needed due to pressures from demographic and public health shifts. The attached proposal addresses the
problems by providing capital funding for systemic or institutional improvements and operating funds
tied to the growth of the target population. The State revenue being sought is from the cap and trade
program, the General Fund, and/or existing bond programs. The types of efficiency improvements
proposed demonstrably reduce greenhouse gasses and the target population is consistent with the polices
to direct resources to "disadvantaged communities". The type of programs in this proposal are similar to
other other programs operating with General Fund support.
The proposal is to use several existing, well-developed tools designed to address problem #1 mentioned
above, the need to increase coordination and improve systemic or institutional efficiencies. These tools
have been available and for some time but their effectiveness suffers due to the lack of implementation
specific funding: the federally required Coordinated Public Transit - Human Services Transportation
Plans (Coordinated Plans) and the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA) enabled by
California State statute:
A.The Coordinated Plans are produced and updated uniformly throughout the
Country based on requirements in the past three federal transportation funding
packages. (SAFETEA-LU/2005, MAP-21/2012, FAST/2015). The Coordinated
Plans identify the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults,
and people with low incomes, provide strategies for meeting these needs, and
prioritize transportation services for funding and implementation. These plans make
recommendations which are, for the most part, unfunded.
B.The CTSA mechanism was created under the California State Social Service
Transportation Act (AB 120 – 1979). The Act required agencies throughout
California to conduct regional inventory reports and prepare/implement action plans.
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 244
The intent was to encourage coordination among social service transportation
providers so existing transportation resources are used more effectively.
Administrative Notes:
TWIC staff is coordinating with Lara Delaney, legislative staff, to ensure the this proposal is developed
consistent with County processes. This proposal was developed with the assistance of Mark Watts,
consultant to the County, and Peter Engel, Director of Programs - CCTA.
Relative to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund request in the proposal, the SPD Transportation
Funding Program is consistent with #20 on our 2018 State Legislative Platform:
SUPPORT efforts to expand eligible expenditures of the Greenhouse Gas
Revenue[sic] Fund to investments in accessible transit/transportation systems
(serving seniors, disabled, veterans) which result in more efficient (shared trips,
increased coordination) service and corresponding reductions in greenhouse gas
production.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the proposal is not approved, the Board will miss an opportunity to make progress on policy #20 in the

Title: (Describe in one sentence the issue you seek to address with State/Federal
assistance)
The “Seniors/Persons with Disabilities (SPD) State Transportation Funding
Program” proposal creates a mechanism to strategically increase funding (Cap
& Trade, General Fund, bonds) for transportation programs serving the
senior/disabled population which is currently served by underfunded and
underdeveloped programs which are set to grow more deficient as
demographic and public health factors magnify the problems.

Dept. Priority: ____ of ____ (e.g. 1 of 3)
I. Summary of Proposal:
Please briefly describe the proposal and include the following highlighted information (where
applicable):
The proposal creates a mechanism to strategically increase funding to transportation programs
that serve seniors and persons with disabilities. While this transportation sector is underfunded
and underdeveloped, it also suffers from well-documented cost-control, organizational, ease-of-
access, and other problems related to institutional structures. These problems largely stem from
the siloed funding streams and programs that fund transportation service to this population. Public
health, health insurance, public transit, non-profit agencies, etc. often operate similar service, in
similar areas with duplication of operations and administration.
This program requests funding for 1) capital programs which have a documented ability to
address the institutional structure issues, and 2) transportation operations in response to
forecasted increase in demand for entities that meet certain organizational or operational
criteria ensuring efficient use of the new revenue.
Prior efforts to secure State or Federal assistance for the issue
May 1, 2018 letter from the Board of Supervisors (BOS) to Assembly Committee on Budget
and Senate Budget/Fiscal review committee requesting that the Committees, “…set aside
revenue as a part of the Cap-and Trade budgeting process to reduce GHG [Greenhouse Gas]
emissions by way of increasing the efficiency of accessible transportation services.”

The rationale for seeking Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds (GGRF) is based on the ability to
increase shared rides1 which results in a reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) GHGs.
This is in addition to the statutory directive that certain portions of GGRF funding to be
directed towards “disadvantaged communities” and result in a number of co-benefits
including “public health”. The passenger population that would benefit from this program is
entirely “disadvantaged”.
Local efforts include advocacy for increased funding during the 2016 Measure X
transportation expenditure plan (TEP) process and during the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority’s (CCTA’s) 2017 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) update.
Compelling factors for the proposal that merit State or Federal assistance
There are several compelling, compounding factors that support the proposal; these issues
were reported to the BOS during the TEP and CTP processes:
1) Demographics: The aging of the population, referred to as the “silver” or “aging” tsunami,
will result in a substantial increase in the population requiring service,
2) Costs: the cost of providing this type of transit service is increasing rapidly, faster than
costs2 for conventional bus,
3) Sustainability: Existing transit structures have evolved organically with public transit
providers, non-profits, and other agencies/organizations providing service and filling gaps as
they arise. For decades, concern has been raised at the local3, regional4, state level5, and
federal6 level that these structures are not robust or sophisticated enough to adequately
respond the forecasted increase in demand.
1 University of California, Berkeley, Institute of Transportation Studies, "Evaluating the Impact of ITS on Personalized Public
Transit” “Benefits of ITS: They describe the following benefits of ITS implementation. • Increase in the percent shared rides (the
percentage of time that there are two or more requests in vehicle) from 38% to 55% • 13% savings in the unit transportation cost
per passenger mile • Total personnel salaries decreased by 28%”
2 Federal Transit Administration, 2014, “Accessible Transit Services for All”, the cost of providing demand response service is
increasing faster than other types of transit. From 1999 to 2012, the cost of providing ADA paratransit service increased 138%.
During the same time frame conventional fixed-route bus service increased by 82%
3 During the 2016 Measure X Transportation Sales Tax initiative, the Expenditure Plan Advisory Committee identified
improvements to services for seniors/persons with disabilities as a priority. Detail here:

do not have the capacity to handle the increase in people over 65 years of age…the massive growth among the
aging …points to a lack of fiscal and organizational readiness…the closure and consolidation of medical facilities
while rates of diabetes and obesity are on the rise will place heavy demands on an already deficient system.”
5 January 15, 2014 CCTA Board Meeting Minutes: Commissioner [David] Durant [Pleasant Hill] said that the need for
coordination in the area was great, and the dysfunction in the overall system needed to be solved. Representative [Amy] Worth
[Orinda, MTC ex-officio]...given limited resources and inefficiencies of the current model, the Authority needs to be looking at a
better way and that the plan created a framework and pathway. Mr. [Rick] Ramacier [County Connection] noted that there had
been an explosion of paratransit services being provided by non-transit, social service/non-profit operators…while there were
many benefits to the new services being provided, the future for those providers was uncertain because most rely upon grants.

4) History: There have been three paratransit plans developed in the County which have
largely not been implemented. In initiating the fourth study of this type, staff is attempting to
be methodical in removing barriers to implementation. One such barrier is limited funding
which this proposal directly addresses.
A state response is warranted as Contra Costa County is not facing these problems alone. As
indicated above, there is an acknowledgement at all levels of government that public
institutions are ill prepared to respond to these issues.
Consequences if State or Federal assistance is not provided
The existing, organically developed structures for providing this service are likely to strain
under the increased demand and may substantially underperform relative to the need.
Previous analysis provided to the BOS and national studies7 establish that coordinated systems
are more cost effective than our uncoordinated system. As demographic pressure increases,
service demands will result in the current operational and fiscal inefficiencies being aggravated.
As public transit systems evolve in response to technological changes, there is no guarantee that
these changes will be positive for public transit in general and specifically to the target,
disadvantaged population. Funding this program will help to insulate the target population from
negative impacts of these changes.
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority is initiating an Accessible Transportation Strategic
(ATS) Plan with substantial assistance from County staff. The ATS Plan is proposed to be
complete in 2019 at which point it is anticipated that additional revenue will be needed for
implementation.
Steps taken locally to advance issue
Staff has:
1. Collaborated with two staff level mobility management groups (West County &
“Rest of the County”) comprised of leadership from transit agencies, non-profits, and
staff from various city providers.
2. Consulted with the Advisory Council on Aging on the need for improvements to
transportation and an increase in funding.
3. Supported CCTA in their development of a successful Caltrans grant application to
fund the ATS Plan.
4. During the 2016 TEP and 2017 CTP efforts, developed numerous reports for the
BOS which resulted in communication to CCTA emphasizing the need for increased
funding and policy/administrative/governance changes relative to transportation for
seniors/persons with disabilities. These efforts, in addition to several joint
CCTA/Contra Costa County joint staff meetings, resulted in the ATS Plan now
underway.

5. In preparation for the related ATS Plan, County and CCTA staff have jointly met
with transit districts to listen to concerns, collect feedback, etc.
II. Action Requested:
Briefly describe the specific State/Federal assistance requested, e.g. a specified amount of
funding for a particular purpose, a change in law promoting a particular outcome, etc.
The proposal identifies two funding programs (capital and operations) which address two related
problems:
1) A Capital program focused on demonstrated efficiency-improving investments that address
operations and administrative fragmentation and lack of efficiency.
2) An Operations program with allocations based on the indexed growth (or contraction) of
the population served by the program which addresses the forecasted demographically
driven increases in demand. Because this proposal serves disadvantaged individuals
independent of geography as defined in SB 535, statutory action may be necessary to
accommodate the proposal.
a. Affected Code Sections (if known):
The impacted code sections are potentially numerous.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: The proposal may seek to modify the Low Carbon Transit
Operations Program (LCTOP) which was established as a part of the Transit, Affordable Housing,
and Sustainable Communities Program established by Senate Bill 862 (2014) and modified various
sections of the Health & Safety Code and the Government Code. These sections may need to be
further modified to accommodate the proposal.
Disadvantaged Communities: The definition of disadvantaged communities has been established
by way of geographic descriptions (Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code were modified
by Senate Bill 535 - De León, Chapter 830, Statutes of 2012). This proposal serves exclusively
disadvantaged individuals independent of geography. That said, the defining statutes may need to
be further revised to also define disadvantaged communities by individual characteristics
independent of narrow geographic definitions.
Other: The advice of our legislative consultant is to leave the specifics of the revenue level and
source, at this stage, broad. This program, with public health implications, is consistent with other
general fund supported programs.
b. Proposed Statutory Language (if available):
Pending
III. Fiscal Impact:
a. County
As drafted, the proposal could bring new revenue in to the County to provide service to the target
population. This program could provide some relief to Contra Costa Health Services which is being
increasingly burdened by transportation requirements imposed on health plans and medical service

providers at both the state (Assembly Bill 2394, Garcia – 2015/16 NMT) and federal (Affordable
Care Act) levels.
b. State (if applicable)
The proposal requires that the state undertake certain activities to ensure effective use of the funds.
These activities are defined in the “Support Services” section of the proposal and include
administration of a grant program, research and establishment of metrics to evaluate expenditures
and effectiveness, performance audits relative to Consolidated Transportation Services Agency
(CTSA) and Coordinated Plan compliance. The State would, similar to other grant programs,
administer grants to rural areas.
c. Other (if applicable)
As drafted, the proposal would require administration of a grant program by Metropolitan
Planning Organizations in urbanized areas.
IV. Anticipated Supporters of proposal:
Pending
V. Anticipated Opponents of proposal:
Pending
VI. Position on proposal by CSAC or League of California Cities (if available):
Pending
VII. Prior History of Proposal (if any):
2018: The California Senior Legislature (CSL) sponsored Assembly Bill 2877 (Mathiis)
“Vehicular air pollution: nonemergency medical transport” which had some characteristics
similar to this proposal, funding senior/disabled transportation services with GGRF revenues. The
bill was held in Committee. County staff has initiated coordination with the CSL on the County’s
2019 proposal. We hope to merge the requests from the CSL and the County in to a single bill
and secure CSL support for the County proposal.
Staff believes this specific proposal is new. The following are local precursors:
2018: The Board of Supervisors adopted the following language in to the County’s 2018 State
Legislative Platform:
SUPPORT efforts to expand eligible expenditures of the Greenhouse Gas Revenue
Fund to investments in accessible transit/transportation systems (serving seniors,
disabled, veterans) which result in more efficient (shared trips, increased
coordination) service and corresponding reductions in greenhouse gas production.
With the following rationale:
This policy is in support of the accessible transit/transportation initiatives
discussed during the Measure X and 2017 Countywide Transportation Plan
approval, and is consistent with the "Accessible Transportation" report provided
to the Board of Supervisors in September 2017 which documented the need for
substantial investment to make improvements in this field. The September 2017

report established that the County is not unique in this situation; these issues are
widespread which justifies a statewide/nationwide legislative approach.
May 2018: The Board of Supervisors sent a letter to the Senate and Assembly Committees
drafting the FY 2018-19 GGRF Budget proposal. The letter requested revenue be set aside for
efficiency and GHG reducing improvements to elderly/disabled transportation programs. This
proposal builds on that original request proposing a specific program to distribute the revenues
with a substantially more developed rationale.
2018: CCTA, with the assistance of the County, is initiating an the ATS Plan to determine how
best provide transportation service to the elderly/disabled population. The intent is to have the
ATS Plan complete by 2019. Similar, prior studies have not been implemented due to many
factors which include the lack of funding. In anticipation of the completion of the ATS Plan, staff
initiated this effort. The approach is to ensure that the outcome of the ATS Plan will be eligible
for the proposed, new revenue as a pilot project.
2017: The Bay Area Regional Mobility Management Group developed a proposal for Regional
Measure 3, “Accessibility Improvements and Specialized Transportation Services in the Bridge
Corridors for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities” but the concept failed to get traction.

Seniors/Persons with Disabilities State Transportation Funding Program
Issue: In order for transportation programs and systems to adequately serve seniors and persons with disabilities in
the current regulatory environment, the following is required: 1) an increase in funding for capital programs which
enable coordination and improve efficiencies, and 2) an increase in transportation operations funding in order to
respond to the forecasted increase in demand for services. These changes are necessary in order to respond to the
impending demographically driven spike in demand for services to this acutely disadvantaged population. While
there has been substantial analysis and study of these issues, there is no state or federal funding program
adequately addressing the scale of this issue.
Administrative or Legislative Timeline Overview: The intent is to have this Seniors/Persons with Disabilities (SPD)
Transportation Funding Program proposal proceed in the 2019 legislative session. While there is no set timeline
driving this effort, the aforementioned spike in demand for service, and the lack of progress in this field have been
observed and analyzed for decades1. This proposal leverages existing tools to facilitate rapid implementation of
strategies and actions that have been relatively undeveloped for lack of funding.
Background: The impending increase in the senior population and the complex systems serving the same have been,
for some time, the subject of considerable analysis and limited action. This situation is best summarized in the
National Academy of Sciences sponsored report, “Economic Benefits of Coordinating Human Service Transportation
and Transit Services: 2
Local transportation services for the disadvantaged are often delivered by a variety of nonprofit organizations,
operated independently by multiple entities in a community, and result in duplicative, overlapping, and
uncoordinated services. The analysis concludes that although coordination sounds like an easy and magical policy
solution to be effective, state‐level policies must, at a minimum, target and fund the coordination process.
This proposal targets and funds the coordination process enabling immediate action by leveraging existing analysis
and tools:
1) The existing statewide inventory of locally developed Coordinated Public Transit‐Human Services Transportation
Plans3 (hereafter “Coordinated Plans”) all include implementable recommendations. The Coordinated Plans are
planning documents that are consistently produced throughout the state per federal regulations3. These
documents include recommendations that are reasonably forecasted2 to simultaneously increase cost
effectiveness, expand service, and improve service quality.
2) Consolidated Transportation Service Agencies: (CTSAs) were created under the Social Service Transportation Act
(AB 120 – 1979). The Act required agencies throughout California to conduct regional inventory reports and
prepare/implement action plans. The intent was to encourage coordination among social service transportation
providers so existing transportation resources are used more effectively.
Problem Statement: The two programs in this proposal address two problems in this transportation sector:
Fragmented/Inefficient Services: This transportation sector is funded by numerous local, state, and federal
programs across multiple governmental sectors (transportation, social services, etc.). These numerous
programs, in many areas, have resulted in the unintended consequence of fragmented and duplicative
1 Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports 109878, 591707, 650079, 658766, 660247, 667361, et al: “…duplication of effort and inefficiency in
providing transportation when agencies do not coordinate…”, “….state and local agencies are unaware that they are...providing transportation services
identical and parallel to those of another agency“…transit agency officials that we spoke with said that they would like to implement coordination efforts, but
have been unable to get various parties to come together…”, “continuing challenges such as insufficient leadership at the federal level and limited financial
resources and growing unmet needs at the state and local level.”, “…state and local officials expressed concern about their ability to adequately address
expected growth in elderly, disabled, low‐income, and rural populations.”, “…agencies providing similar transportation services to similar client groups may
lead to duplication and overlap when coordination does not occur.”
2 Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences: Transit Cooperative Research Program, Report 91: Economic Benefits of Coordinating
Human Service Transportation and Transit Services: “Significant economic benefits — including increased funding, decreased costs, and increased productivity
— can be obtained by coordinating human service transportation and transit services.”
3 A 2004 Executive Order resulted in federal transit law requiring that eligibility for certain funding streams be established through “…a locally developed,
coordinated public transit‐human services transportation plan," and that the plan be "developed and approved through a process that included participation
by seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human services providers and other members of
the public". As a result, throughout the country there are consistently developed and adopted coordinated plans. These plans identify the transportation
needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes and provide strategies for meeting these needs, and prioritize transportation
services for funding and implementation.
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 252
programs.4 In addition to the administrative and fiscal problems resulting from this fragmentation, these silos
result in arbitrary transit service boundaries requiring unnecessary passenger transfers. These transfers
simultaneously increase costs, decrease safety, extend trip times, and generally compromise service quality for
this categorically disadvantaged population. In addition to the fiscal inefficiencies, these fragmented programs
are difficult for the target population to navigate5. The target population: seniors, persons with cognitive and
physical disabilities, and other disadvantaged populations, are forced to navigate transportation systems that
are more complex than the general public uses.
Demographically Driven Increase in Demand: The “aging tsunami” 6, brought about by the aging of the baby
boomers has long been forecasted to increase the demand for the subject transportation services. This is a well‐
documented issue, the California State Plan on Aging indicates that by 2030 senior age groups will increase
anywhere from 70% up to 274%. These age groups have cognitive and physical characteristics that either require
this type of service and/or results in the loss of ability to drive themselves. These increases will magnify the
negative fiscal impact of the fragmented systems mentioned above.
Suggested Approach: The proposal is for two programs, operations and capital. The two identified issues,
service/administrative fragmentation and demographically driven increases in demand are addressed by 1) a Capital
program focused on efficiency‐improving investments, and 2) an Operations program with allocations based on
population served by the program and subsequently indexed to the growth (or contraction) in the same population.
Because this proposal serves disadvantaged individuals independent of geography as defined in Senate Bill 535
(2012 – DeLeón) statutory revisions to include the senior/disabled population in the “disadvantaged community”
definition may be necessary to accommodate the proposal.
1: Capital
Capital funding will be disbursed through competitive grants7 to projects which are included in the applicable
Coordinated Plan. These projects will implement systemic improvements which have been demonstrated to
result in more efficient use of resources, improve service quality, increase shared trips (which reduce
greenhouse gasses as a result). Eligible activities include but are not necessarily limited to planning, technology
investments9 including hardware and software (subject to restrictions8) clean vehicles (so long as they are
operating consistent with the applicable Consolidated Plan and/or by a CTSA), and administrative costs
associated with the creation and incubation of new service models and organizations.
2: Operations
1. Operations funding will be appropriated annually, on a continuing basis, with a formula reflecting the
population served (See Support Services below).
2. Agencies are granted “provisional eligibility” for operations funding under the following scenarios7:
a. The programs and activities seeking funding are found to be consistent with the applicable Consolidated
Plan. The legislative body which originally approved the Consolidated Plan will pass a resolution, in a
publically noticed hearing, making that determination accompanied by findings of fact or other
evidence.
b. Consolidated Transportation Services Agencies (CTSAs) that are active and otherwise in good standing
(as demonstrated by the original, approving authority) are categorically eligible for operations funding.
3. The provisional eligibility will be subsequently confirmed by the State Auditor and Department of
Transportation (see Support Services below)
4 GAO: Transportation Coordination: Benefits and Barriers Exist, Planning Efforts Progress Slowly: “As HHS and FTA have recognized, the lack of coordination
among human services transportation providers and public transit operators contributes to the duplication or overlapping of transportation
services…particular clients may be left unserved or underserved…”
5 GAO: Opportunities to Reduce Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Safe Tax Dollars, and Enhance Revenue., “…GAO and others have reported that
the variety of federal programs providing transportation services to the transportation disadvantaged has resulted in fragmented services that can be difficult for
clients to navigate and narrowly focused programs that may result in service gaps”
6 California State Plan on Aging 2017‐2021: “The impact of an aging population, described by some as an “age wave” and others as an “aging tsunami,” will be
felt in every aspect of society. The economic, housing, transportation, health, and social support implications of this phenomenon must also be viewed in the
context of the State’s tremendous population growth, which continues to challenge the State’s overall infrastructure planning.”

and 2) ensuring the organization has ongoing staff, training, and budget capacity to support the full usage of the software.
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 253
Emergency Services: Repatriation Fund
The Program would close an existing gap in emergency response funding and programs. Evacuation activities for
seniors/persons with disabilities (referred to as “access & functional needs” [AFN] population in the emergency
services field) are categorically eligible for disaster relief funding. However, there is no funding or authority to
return (repatriate) the AFN population to their origin during the post‐disaster period. The transportation needs
of this population can vary greatly from the general population often requiring special vehicles and staff to
accommodate mobility/medical devices or support individuals with cognitive or physical limitations. A
Repatriation Fund within the SPD Program will fund these activities and make any statutory changes necessary
to authorize reimbursement.
The Repatriation Fund is not integral to the intent of the SPD Transportation Funding Program but is being
included as this initiative may be an expeditious mechanism to close this gap in services.
Specific Needs: The following are excerpts from the Coordinated Plans throughout the state demonstrating the need
for the program
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (San Francisco Bay Area), “Current senior‐oriented mobility
services do not have the capacity to handle the increase in people over 65 years of age…the massive
growth among the aging …points to a lack of fiscal and organizational readiness…the closure and
consolidation of medical facilities while rates of diabetes and obesity are on the rise will place heavy
demands on an already deficient system.”
Butte County, “Top‐ranked barriers to accessing needed transportation: Funding challenges for directly
operating or contracting for transportation…”
Inyo‐Mono Counties: “The greatest barrier to coordination for all rural counties is lack of funding. There is
simply not enough money available to meet all transportation needs for the target population…
particularly in light of the dispersed communities and long travel distance…as such, the various human
service agencies piece meal together trips for the most critical needs. Lack of funding/resources
contributes to the limited staff time available for all agencies to pursue further coordination efforts”
Lake County, “PRIORITY 1 – Critical: Pursue and secure funding to support, maintain, improve safety and
enhance the Lake County public transportation network…”, “…Continued priority must be placed on
securing new funding sources…”
Madera County, “The greatest barrier to coordination for many smaller counties is lack of funding. There is
simply not enough money available to meet all transportation needs for the target population, particularly
in light of the dispersed development pattern and long travel distance in Madera County”

fixed‐route and demand responsive services, program/funding constraints, eligibility limitations,
knowledge and training.”
San Bernardino, “…COORDINATED PLAN strategies can be supported with 5310 funds …however, this
competitive funding source is modest…”, “…agencies and their transit programs need for assistance

transit and specialized transportation services…”
San Diego, “…gaps in service remain due to geography, limitations in transit service, funding constraints,

Funds…and State Transit Assistance (STA) funds, it is generally not sufficient to address many of the service
challenges, such as limited frequencies and longer service hours, which were common themes…”
Ventura County, “…limited funds suggest that it will be critically important to seek other funding sources
to address many of the proposed strategies. Such additional funding sources could include but are not
limited to…State cap and trade funding…”

Revenue Options
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF)
Certain operational and technology investments have a demonstrable9 ability to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG)
production by way of increasing the number of shared trips in a demand‐response transit operation. Currently, there
are no GGRF revenues specifically dedicated to this population other than the broad preference for projects in
disadvantaged communities, in limited areas. The Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) is silent on
service to seniors/persons with disabilities. This program specifically serves this categorically disadvantaged
population without geographic limitations/requirements.
GGRF Related Co‐Benefits: Not only are these investments are consistent with the core principle of the Cap‐and‐
Trade Program (GHG reduction) but this program directly serves a population that is entirely and acutely
disadvantaged. Given the sensitive nature of the target population, and the fact that the lack of transportation is a
common barrier to routine medical appointments10, the mobility improvements from this program will inevitably
and substantially increase public health.
General Fund
The activities in this program are consistent with other activities funded by these revenues. An appropriation from
the General Fund for the Operations program is reasonable and appropriate.
State Bond Program
The activities in this program are consistent with other activities funded with state bonds. A new program funding
the capital activities in this program would be reasonable and appropriate.
Support Services: In order to administer the programs in this proposal the State would have obligations to support
the funding and performance mechanisms:
1. The State Auditor, with assistance from the Department of Transportation, will conduct a meta‐analysis of the
numerous state and federal studies on this topic for the purpose of establishing metrics by which systemic
improvements and operations are evaluated.
2. Entities receiving funding under this program are subject to a) a review of CTSA and Coordinated Plan eligibility
and effectiveness, and b) performance audits (with an obligation to implement corrective actions).
3. Establish the mechanism to index operations funding to the target population.
4. The Legislative Analyst’s Office will identify and present solutions to any statutory, administrative or other
barriers to coordination.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT a position of "Oppose" on S. 3157 (Thune) , STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act, as
recommended by the Legislation Committee.
AMEND the adopted Contra Costa County Federal Platform to make conforming changes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The legislation would cap the amount of fees local governments can charge telecom companies for the
placement, construction, or collocation of new wireless facilities. Fees would need to be based on “actual
costs and direct costs.”
BACKGROUND:
At its August 13, 2018 meeting, the Legislation Committee considered this matter and voted unanimously
to recommend that the Board of Supervisors take a position to "Oppose" the STREAMLINE Small Cell
Deployment Act.
On June 28, U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Brian Schatz
(D-Hawaii) introduced legislation that would place limits on the authority of local governments to regulate
the deployment of wireless communications infrastructure within their jurisdictions.

Infrastructure Necessary to Enhance Small Cell Deployment Act (S. 3157), or STREAMLINE Small Cell
Deployment Act for short, would limit fees local governments are currently able to assess
telecommunications companies for the placement, construction or co-location of new wireless service
facilities. (
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 257
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Attachment A) The bill would restrict these fees to “actual costs,” capping what local governments can
charge telecommunications companies for the use of locally owned rights-of-way and reducing or
eliminating any application fees local governments may assess for processing incoming requests for
construction.
Additionally, the new legislation would limit the amount of time local governments have to consider and
respond to requests made by telecommunications companies make to build new wireless service
facilities on locally owned land. Specifically, the bill mandates that local governments respond to
applications or requests from telecommunications companies related to new wireless service facilities on
local infrastructure, including 5G Small Cells, within 60 days for co-located technology and 90 days for
new wireless service facilities. The co-location requirements extend to buildings, light poles and public
rights-of-way. In instances where local governments fail to respond to such requests, the federal
government would extend authority to telecommunications companies to build on locally owned land
without the consent or approval of local officials. In March, NACo sent a letter to the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) opposing similar proposals that would limit the authority of local
governments and curtail the ability of locals to raise revenue. S. 3157 is one of the first bills introduced
in Congress that would alter local regulatory authority related to wireless telecommunications
infrastructure deployment. NACo encourages county officials to urge their congressional representatives
to work with local governments on new laws or regulations that would speed the deployment of
next-generation telecommunications infrastructure without limiting local zoning authority or limit the
ability of local governments to raise revenue."
In addition to that legislation, last week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a
draft Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order, aimed at accelerating the deployment of
next-generation 5G wireless networks. Counties own substantial amounts of public rights-of-way, which
many communication providers use to construct their own communications networks. Tthe
Commission's objective of finding new ways to effectively deploy broadband technologies, especially in
underserved communities, is a shared objective, but the proposed language would hinder a county's
ability to fulfill public health and safety responsibilities during the construction and modification of
broadcasting facilities.
Specifically, the declaratory ruling and report and order would:
Create two new categories of "shot clocks" that local governments must
completely review applications for proposed small cell siting within before facing
potential law suits from service providers.
More restrictive state laws will remain in effect and will not be replaced by this
order. Determine that exceeding the shot clock is a "prohibition on the
provision of services."
Limit application fees for all small wireless facilities to $500 for up to five sites
and $100 per site thereafter.
Limit recurring fees for small cells in public rights-of-way to a "reasonable
approximation" of the locality's "objectively reasonable costs" for maintaining the
rights-of-way, which the FCC defines as $270 per site, per year.
Limit allowable local aesthetic requirements, including undergrounding
requirements for wireless facilities, which the FCC would constitute as an illegal
prohibition of service by a local government.
If approved at the FCC's September 26 open meeting, the new regulations would go into effect 30 days
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 258
If approved at the FCC's September 26 open meeting, the new regulations would go into effect 30 days
after publication in the Federal Register. Counties would then face enforcement action if wireless
providers or other small cell applicants challenge them in court based on noncompliance with the above
requirements.
NACo and CSAC both requested that counties send in letters to object to the draft order. Board Chair
Karen Mitchoff authorized a letter to be sent to the FCC.

program and placed with local employers (for-profit, non- profit, and public agencies) who have the
responsibility for payroll, associated taxes, and workers compensation for the CCWORKS program
participant worksited within their organization.
The employers hire the eligible CCWORKS participants upfront and train the participants with the
appropriate skills for the position in which they are placed. The participants receive a wage comparable to
those workers performing the same or like duties at the worksite. A worksite agreement is executed for
each participant that is placed at the employer's worksite. Under the CCWORKS program, EHSD will
reimburse the employer no less than $10.50 per hour and up to $20 per hour for a minimum of 20 hours per
week to a maximum of 40 hours per week (no overtime will be subsidized). Worksite contracts will not
exceed six months.
Monthly reimbursement invoices are submitted by participating employers for each CCWORKS participant
placed at their worksite. The invoices are reviewed by EHSD CCWORKS staff and submitted to the EHSD
Fiscal Unit for payment.
This clarification corrects an administrative clerical error in the previously approved Board Order.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval, the CCWORKS program participants will have fewer employment opportunities and

of 20 hours per week to a maximum of 40 hours per week. No overtime will be subsidized. The individual
contracts with each employer will state the reimbursement process and those reimbursements will be paid

projects will vary. Typical projects may include new construction, building renovations/modernizations,
remodeling of an entire building or specific areas within a building, tenant improvements, exterior building
restorations, MEP upgrades, structural improvements, code-related improvements and deferred
maintenance projects. Projects may also include fire district buildings projects. Having this on-call
agreement in place will save the county time and money when compared to the time and expense in
conducting a consultant selection process on a project-by-project basis, and allow the design phase to
commence sooner and provide for a shorter project completion schedule. HED was selected through a
competitive qualifications-based selection process. The Public Works Department requested Statements of
Qualifications ("SOQ's") and received twenty eight SOQs, and ten firms were short-listed. A selection
committee comprised of County staff conducted interviews and ranked the short-listed firms. It is
recommended that the above firm, who is in the five highest ranked firms, be awarded the agreement and
that the on-call agreement be approved at this time. The agreement includes a one year extension option
that can be exercised by the Public Works Director if he chooses. Government Code Section 31000
authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of architectural services that HED provides.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the agreement is not approved, the County will not be able to take advantage of the time and cost savings
possible through the utilization of on-call architectural service agreement.

Christian Association of the East Bay, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which

succeeding in school”; “Families that are safe, stable, and nurturing”; and “Communities that are safe and

Interagency Agreement with the City of Richmond with a term from October 1, 2018 through September

Richmond Mitigation Fee (NRMF) funding to co-staff the NRMF Committee and implement services and

Subject:Interagency Agreement between City of Richmond and County for Joint Administration of North Richmond
Mitigation Fee funding.
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 341
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
Approval in the Use Permits issued by the City and County, which allowed Republic Services to expand
their waste processing operations at the Bulk Material Processing Center, located at the closed West Contra
Costa Sanitary Landfill site in North Richmond. Since 2006, this Mitigation Fee has been collected on a per
ton basis and paid monthly, directly, to the County.
The City and County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2004 agreeing to establish a
City/County Committee (known as the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint
Expenditure Planning Committee) to prepare recommended spending plans subject to final City/County
approvals for the purpose of jointly administering this funding. These recommended spending plans are
known as Expenditure Plans, which must be approved by both the City Council and County Board of
Supervisors. The Expenditure Plan for the 2018/2019 fiscal year was approved by the County on June 26,
2018, and by the City on July 24, 2018.
The first Interagency Agreement between the City and County went into effect on January 16, 2007, and
was amended four times. A new Interagency Agreement with a contract limit of $1,080,055 took effect on
June 30, 2015, which was estimated to be adequate to allow the County to share the proportion of NRMF
revenue needed to cover the City's costs associated with the City's share of Expenditure Plan
implementation and Committee co-staffing for the period through June 30, 2017. Since entering into the
second Interagency Agreement in 2015, the amount of NRMF funded reimbursement requested by the City
has been steadily decreasing each Expenditure Plan cycle. The remaining contract limit was sufficient to
allow for three subsequent amendments which together extended the contract term through September 30,
2018. This new Interagency Agreement is intended to provide for continued issuance of NRMF-funded
payments to the City of Richmond to facilitate on-going joint administration of funding and reimburse the
City for costs incurred to implement Expenditure Plan strategies through September 30, 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the recommended Agreement is not approved and executed, County staff will not have the authority
needed to issue NRMF funded payments to the City of Richmond, which would make it impossible to
jointly administer this funding as agreed upon in the MOU between the City and the County. This would
also compromise County staff's ability to reimburse the City for the costs they incur for co-staffing the
NRMF Committee or the costs incurred to implement the strategies assigned to the City in the
City/County-approved Expenditure Plan.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a

September 30, 2018 to a new term ending March 31, 2019, for the provision of services to victims of human
trafficking in Contra Costa County for the period of April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract amendment will increase budgeted expenditures by $30,285 to a new payment limit of
$174,309, 100% federally funded through the US Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crimes
Services to Victims of Human Trafficking Program.
BACKGROUND:

trafficking on July 7, 2015. Grant funding is used to assist communities in developing effective and

tools for asset management; the Public Works Information Technology division (IT) does not have the
capacity to keep up with programming requests generated by the asset management project. The contract
programming resource provided under this contract will be tasked with creating the software tools that will
provide the Public Works Director and the CAO with decision support data for asset management.
On March 21, 2017, the Public Works Director approved an initial contract with Protiviti Government
Services for $85,000 for temporary placement of a computer programmer. This original contract amount
was based on an estimated ‘level of effort’ that turned out to be too low; also, additional programming tasks
have been identified that are required to complete the project (Facilities Conditions Assessment data
migration & reporting, calibration of RS Means forecasts). As such, there have since been two
Amendments to increase the original contract amount.
Amendment No. 1 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 15, 2017, increasing the payment
limit by $115, 000 with no change to the original term.
Amendment No. 2 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 16, 2018, increasing the payment
limit by $155,000 and extended the term from March 20, 2018 to March 20, 2019.
If approved, Amendment No. 3 will provide additional funds and time to allow for the completion of the
FCA work, as well as delivery of the ‘Debt Service’ and ‘Cost Data’ applications that were identified in the
original contract’s Service Plan.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board approval, Public Works IT will not be able to provide the Public Works Director and County
Administrator with the decision support tools that are required for the effective management of the
County’s real estate portfolio.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Substantial Amendment to the County's FY 2018/19 Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program Action Plan, by amending the scope of work for improvements to pump stations located
within the Hotchkiss Tract in Oakley, CA 94561.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CDBG funds are provided to the County on a formula allocation basis by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) - CFDA #14.218. There is no fiscal impact to the County's General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On June 26, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved the Contra Costa County CDBG Action Plan for FY
2018/19. As part of this plan, Reclamation District 799 (RD799) was awarded $84,000 in CDBG funds to
improve Hotchkiss Tract Pump Stations 3 and 4 by installing manual transfer switches and replacing a
dilapidated trash screen. The pumps housed at each station protect the land and 1,250 residents, residing
within the Hotchkiss Tract, from becoming inundated by flood waters during times of heavy rainfall and
elevated water stages; thereby preventing property damage, increasing public safety, and providing vector
control.

Subject:Substantial Amendment to the County's FY 2018/19 CDBG Action Plan - Change in Scope to the Reclamation District
799 Pump Station Improvements Project
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 383
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
RD799 recently notified CDBG staff that the pump at Pump Station 3 has completely failed. Therefore,
RD799 has requested, and CDBG staff recommends, amending the scope-of-work to include the additional
repair/replacement work to the pump at Pump Station 3. This Substantial Amendment only modifies the
project scope by including the repair/replacement of the pump at Pump Station 3, and does not change the
original award of $84,000 of CDBG funds to this project. RD799 is getting bids for Pump Station 3 and
once the bids are submitted will know whether or not there are adequate funds to proceed with repairs of
Pump Station 4.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving the Substantial Amendment will place a financial burden on RD799 to replace the pump, or
risk catastrophic flood inundation. Furthermore, it will delay and/or prevent the original pump station
improvements.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Hotchkiss Tract pump stations further the Children's Report Card outcome of helping families to be
safe, stable, and nurturing.

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 September 11, 2018, the
Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved the emergency declaration.
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

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION
SUBVENTION
All rates are shown as a percent of payroll.
Employee contribution rates vary depending upon their tier and age at entry. To compute the exact
subvention percent for each employee, do the following:
Employee rate – Decrease the employee’s rate by the subvention percent (i.e. 25%, 50%, etc.).
Employer rate – Increase the employer’s rate by a percent of the employee’s decrease using the
applicable refundability factor (found on Exhibits A and B):
EXAMPLE FOR COST GROUP #3 LEGACY MEMBERS:
If the subvention percent is 25%, and
the employee’s rate is 6.00%,
Employee rates should be decreased by 1.50% (25% × 6.00%)
The employer rate should be increased by 1.4382% (1.50% × 0.9588)
Please note that for PEPRA members, subvention is generally not permitted. The standard under
Gov. Code §7522.30(a) is that employees pay at least 50 percent of normal costs and that employers not
pay any of the required employee contribution, but there are some exceptions. Gov. Code §7522.30(f)
allows the terms (regarding the employee’s required contribution) of a contract, including a memorandum
of understanding, that is in effect on January 1, 2013, to continue through the length of a contract. This
means that it is possible that an employer will subvent a portion of a PEPRA member’s required
contribution until the expiration date of the current contract, so long as it has been determined that the
contract has been impaired.
CAUTION – these rates are for employer subvention of up to one-half the member contribution under
Gov. Code §31581.1, NOT employer pick-up of employee contribution rates. When an employer
subvents, the contribution subvented is not placed in the member’s account and is therefore not available
to the member as a refund. For this reason, the employer pays the contribution at a discount (i.e.
“Refundability Factor”).
Employer pick-ups of employee contributions are those made under Gov. Code §31581.2 and Internal
Revenue Code §414 (h)(2) for the sole purpose of deferring income tax. These contributions are added to
the member’s account, are available to the member as a refund and are considered by CCCERA as part of
the member’s compensation for retirement purposes.
EMPLOYEE PAYMENT OF EMPLOYER COST
There are several reasons why the attached contribution rates may need to be adjusted to increase the
employee portion including the following:
Gov. Code §31631 allows for members to pay all or part of the employer contributions.
Gov. Code §31639.95 allows for Safety members to pay a portion of the employer cost for the “3% at 50”
enhanced benefit.
Gov. Code §7522.30(c) requires that an employee’s contribution rate be at least equal to that of similarly
situated employees.
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 447
Page 21
Gov. Code §7522.30(e) allows the employee contributions to be more than one-half of the normal cost
rate if the increase has been agreed to through the collective bargaining process.
If you need to increase the employee contribution rate for any reason, you will need to adjust both
employee and employer rates as follows:
Employee rate – Increase the employee’s rate by the desired percent of payroll.
Employer rate – Decrease the employer’s rate by a percent of the cost-sharing percent of payroll
using the applicable refundability factor:
EXAMPLE FOR COST GROUP #11 LEGACY MEMBERS:
If the required increase in the employee rate is 8.0%,
Employee rates should be increased by 8.0%.
The employer rate should be decreased by 7.732% (8.0% × 0.9665)
PREPAYMENT DISCOUNT FACTOR FOR 2019-20
Employer Contribution Prepayment Program & Discount Factor for 2019-20 is 0.9696
If you are currently participating in the prepayment program and wish to continue, you do not need to do
anything other than prepay the July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 contributions on or before
July 31, 2019. If you wish to start participating, please contact the Accounting Department at CCCERA
by March 31, 2019.
The discount factor is calculated assuming the prepayment will be received on July 31 in accordance with
Gov. Code §31582(b) in lieu of 12 equal payments due at the end of each month in accordance with Gov.
Code §31582(a). The discount factor for the fiscal year July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 will be 0.9696
based on the interest assumption of 7.00% per annum. It is calculated by discounting each of the 12 equal
payments back to the date that the prepayment is made and is the sum of the discount factors shown in the
table below divided by 12. Each of the discount factors below is based on how many months early the
payment is made.
Payment Number Number of Months
Payment is Made Early Discount Factor
1 0 1.0000
2 1 0.9944
3 2 0.9888

RECOMMENDATION(S):
REFER to the Internal Operations Committee review of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance In-Lieu of
(providing affordable units) Fees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. The recommended action is a referral to the Internal Operations Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On October 24, 2006, the County Board of Supervisors adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (the
IHO) that requires the inclusion of affordable housing units as part of a residential development, or the
payment of a fee in-lieu of providing the affordable units. The IHO includes formulas for the annual
calculation of in-lieu fees for rental and for-sale housing. In 2009, the California Superior Court concluded
that the rental housing requirements in inclusionary ordinances were superseded by the vacancy decontrol
provisions of the Costa-Hawkins Act (Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v City of Los Angeles). In order
to comply with the Palmer decision, the County maintained the language in the IHO, but changed the in-lieu
fee to $0 for rental developments. The current in-lieu fee for for-sale housing is $3,874 per market rate unit.

Subject:Inclusionary Housing Ordinance In-Lieu Fees Referral to Internal Operations Committee
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 449
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In 2017, the governor signed into law AB 1505, which affirmed local agencies’ authority to apply
affordable housing requirements to rental projects, effective January 1, 2018. The Department of
Conservation and Development seeks input from the Internal Operations Committee on the reinstatement of
the rental in-lieu fee based on the formula in the IHO. The 2018 calculation for the fees is $24,200.55 for
rental housing and $6,218.91 for for-sale housing.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If there is not a referral to the Internal Operations Committee, Conservation and Development Department
staff would bring an agenda item to the full Board of Supervisors without the benefit of a committee
discussion.

53506) of the California Government Code (the “Act”), and pursuant to Resolution No. __ of the District
adopted May 24, 2018 (th e “Resolution”), authorizing the issuance of the Bonds. Reference is hereby
made to the Resolution (copies of which are on file at the office of the Clerk of the Board of Trustees of the
District) and the Act for a description of the terms on which the Bonds are issued and the rights

Page 2
thereunder of the owners of the Bonds and the rights, duties and immunities of the Paying Agent and the
rights and obligations of the District thereunder, to all of the provisions of which Resolution the Owner of
this Bond, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.
A duly called election was held in the District on November 4, 2014, and thereafter canvassed
pursuant to law. At such election there was submitted to and approved by the requisite 55% vote of the
qualified electors of the District a question as to the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds of the
District to provide safe, modern neighborhood schools with updated computer technology, upgrade
energy systems, including solar, reduce cost, improve student learning by acquiring, upgrading,
constructing, equipping classrooms, science/computer labs, and school facilities, replace aging roofs,
plumbing, heating, ventilation/electrical systems, improve fire alarms, school security and earthquake
safety (the “Project”), in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000 (the “Authorization”)
payable from the levy of an ad valorem tax against the taxable property in the District. The Series C Bonds
represent the third issue under the Authorization.
This Bond and the interest hereon and on all other Bonds and the interest thereon (to the extent
set forth in the Resolution) are general obligations of the District and do not constitute an obligation of
Contra Costa County. The District has the power and is obligated to cause the Contra Costa County
Board of Supervisors to levy ad valorem taxes for the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon upon
all property within the District subject to taxation by the District. No part of any fund of the Contra Costa
County is pledged or obligated to the payment of the Bonds.
The Bonds maturing on or before August 1, ____, are non-callable. The Bonds maturing on
August 1, ____, or any time thereafter, are callable for redemption prior to their stated maturity date at
the option of the District, as a whole, or in part on any date on or after August 1, ____ (in such maturities
as are designated by the District, or, if the District fails to designate such maturities, on a proportional
basis), and may be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof by payment of all principal, plus accrued
interest to date of redemption, without premium.
[If applicable:] The Bonds maturing on August 1, 20___ (the “Term Bonds”) are also subject to
mandatory sinking fund redemption on August 1 in the years, and in the amounts, as set forth in the
following table, at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed (without premium), together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption; provided, however, that if some but not all of the Term Bonds have been redeemed pursuant
to the preceding paragraph, the aggregate principal amount of Term Bonds to be redeemed under this
paragraph shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in integral multiples of $5,000, as shall be designated
pursuant to written notice filed by the District with the Paying Agent:
Sinking Fund Principal
Redemption Date Amount to be
(August 1) Redeemed
†Maturity
The Paying Agent shall give notice of the redemption of the Bonds at the expense of the District.
Such notice shall specify: (a) that the Bonds or a designated portion thereof are to be redeemed, (b) the
numbers and CUSIP numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed, (c) the date of notice and the date of
redemption, (d) the place or places where the redemption will be made, and (e) descriptive information
regarding the Bonds including the dated date, interest rate and stated maturity date. Such notice shall
further state that on the specified date there shall become due and payable upon each Bond to be
redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of such Bond to be redeemed, together with interest
accrued to said date, and that from and after such date interest with respect thereto shall cease to accrue
and be payable.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Resolution, shall occur, the principal of all Bonds may be
declared due and payable upon the conditions, in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Resolution, but such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled as further
provided in the Resolution.
The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds, without coupons, in denominations of $5,000
and any integral multiple thereof. Subject to the limitations and conditions and upon payment of the
charges, if any, as provided in the Resolution, Bonds may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of Bonds of other authorized denominations and of the same maturity.
This Bond is transferable by the Owner hereof, in person or by his attorney duly authorized in
writing, at said office of the Paying Agent in Dallas, Texas, but only in the manner and subject to the
limitations provided in the Resolution, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon
registration of such transfer a new Bond or Bonds, of authorized denomination or denominations, for the
same aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity will be issued to the transferee in exchange
herefor.
The District and the Paying Agent may treat the Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for
all purposes, and the District and the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Resolution may be amended without the consent of the Owners of the Bonds to the extent set
forth in the Resolution.
It is hereby certified that all of the things, conditions and acts required to exist, to have happened
or to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond do exist, have happened or have
been performed in due and regular time and manner as required by the laws of the State of California
(the “State”), and that the amount of this Bond, together with all other indebtedness of the District, does
not exceed any limit prescribed by any laws of the State of California, and is not in excess of the amount
of Bonds permitted to be issued under the Resolution.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Resolution or become valid or obligatory
for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed manually by the
Paying Agent.
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust
Company; a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the District or the Paying Agent for registration of
transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in
such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY
PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Pittsburg Unified School District has caused this Bond to be
executed in its name and on its behalf with the facsimile signatures of the President of the Board of
Trustees and the Clerk of the Board of Trustees, all as of the Issue Date stated above.

September 12, 2018 (the “Resolution”), provisions of Article 4.5 of Chapter 3 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title
5 (commencing with section 53506) of the California Government Code (the “Act”) and other applicable
provisions of law. The Series C Bonds shall be issued, authenticated and delivered under and in
accordance with the provisions of this Bond Purchase Agreement and the Resolution. The Series C Bonds
are being issued as current interest bonds.
At an election held in the District on November 4, 2014, more than 55% of the qualified electors of
the District approved the issuance of $85,000,000 general obligation bonds to finance the construction of a
new high school and improvements to the existing high school by updating/replacing of aging
classrooms and support facilities, and instructional technology needed for improved teaching, replacing
portable classrooms, repairing/replacing roofs, worn-out floors, electrical systems, seismic upgrades and
improving energy efficiency to save money and support instruction within the District (the “Project”),
payable from the levy of an ad valorem tax against the taxable property in the District (the
“Authorization”). The Series C Bonds are being issued pursuant to the Authorization to fund a portion of
the Project.
The Series C Bonds will be dated the date of delivery and accrue interest from such date, payable
semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2019. The Series C
Bonds will mature on the dates, bear interest at the rates and be subject to redemption on the terms and

To assist the Underwriter in complying with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-

3.Use of Documents. The District hereby authorizes the Underwriter to use, in connection with
the offer and sale of the Series C Bonds, this Bond Purchase Agreement, the Official Statement and the
Resolution and all information contained herein and therein and all of the documents, certificates or
statements furnished by the District to the Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Bond Purchase Agreement.
4.Public Offering of the Series C Bonds. The Underwriter agrees to make a bona fide public
offering of all the Series C Bonds at the initial public offering price or yield to be set forth on the cover
page of the Official Statement and Appendix A hereto. Except as described below in Section 5—Issue
Price, subsequent to such initial public offering, the Underwriter reserves the right to change such initial
public offering price or yield as it deems necessary in connection with the marketing of the Series C
Bonds.
5.Issue Price.
(a) The Underwriter agrees to assist the District in establishing the issue price of the Series C
Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the District on the Closing Date an “issue price” or similar
certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix B, with such modifications as may be
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 497
Exhibit B
Page 3
appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the District and Bond Counsel,
to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the
public of the Series C Bonds.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 1 attached to Appendix B, the District will treat the
first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Series C Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the
issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP
number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test).
(c) Schedule 1 attached to Appendix B sets forth the maturities, if any, of the Series C Bonds for
which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the District and the Underwriter agree that the
restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the District to treat the initial
offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the
“hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any
maturity of the Series C Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Series C Bonds of that
maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the
period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
(i) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
(ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Series
C Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
(d) The Underwriter confirms that any selling group agreement and any retail distribution
agreement relating to the initial sale of the Series C Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing
wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group and
each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as applicable, to comply with the
hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter.
The District acknowledges that, in making the representation set forth in this subsection, the Underwriter
will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the
Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with
the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related
pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a retail distribution agreement was employed in connection with
the initial sale of the Series C Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to
such agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in the retail
distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The District further acknowledges that the
Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any
broker-dealer that is a party to a retail distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding
agreement regarding the hold-the-offering-price rule as applicable to the Series C Bonds.
(e) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Series C Bonds to any person that is a related
party to the Underwriter shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this Section 3. Further, for
purposes of this Section 3:
(i) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party,
(ii) “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with
the District (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the
initial sale of the Series C Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a
written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the
initial sale of the Series C Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to
a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Series C Bonds to the public),
and
(iii) a purchaser of any of the Series C Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the
underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) at least 50% common
ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations
(including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common

(iv) “sale date” means the date of execution of this Bond Purchase Agreement by all
parties.

timely manner not in excess of 10 business days after the occurrence of the Listed Event. Notwithstanding

discharge any such agent, with or without appointing a successor Dissemination Agent. If the

for the content of any notice or report prepared by the District pursuant to this Disclosure Certificate. It is
understood and agreed that any information that the Dissemination Agent may be instructed to file with

responsibility with respect to the content of any reports, notices or disclosures provided to it under this
Disclosure Certificate and has no liability to any person, including any Bondholder, with respect to any
such reports, notices or disclosures. The fact that the Dissemination Agent or any affiliate thereof may
have any fiduciary or banking relationship with the District shall not be construed to mean that the
Dissemination Agent has actual knowledge of any event or condition, except as may be provided by
written notice from the District.
(b) Compensation of Dissemination Agent. The Dissemination Agent shall be paid compensation by
the District for its services provided hereunder in accordance with its schedule of fees as agreed to
between the Dissemination Agent and the District from time to time and all expenses, legal fees and
expenses and advances made or incurred by the Dissemination Agent in the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Dissemination Agent shall not be deemed to be acting in any fiduciary capacity for the
District, owners or Beneficial Owners, or any other party. The Dissemination Agent may rely, and shall

nationally recognized bond counsel. The Dissemination Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of such resignation to the District. The Dissemination Agent shall not be liable hereunder except
for its negligence or willful misconduct.
(c) Responsibilities of Dissemination Agent. In addition of the filing obligations of the Dissemination

provide a request to the District to compile the information required for its Annual Report at least 30 days
prior to the date such information is to be provided to the Dissemination Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of Section 3. The failure to provide or receive any such request shall not affect the obligations of the
District under Section 3.
Section 9. Amendment; Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Disclosure
Certificate, the District may amend this Disclosure Certificate (and the Dissemination Agent shall agree to
any amendment so requested by the District that does not impose any greater duties or risk of liability on
the Dissemination Agent), and any provision of this Disclosure Certificate may be waived, provided that
all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) Change in Circumstances. If the amendment or waiver relates to the provisions of Sections 3(a),
4 or 5(a) or (b), it may only be made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 527
Exhibit D
Page 5
change in legal requirements, change in law, or change in the identity, nature, or status of an obligated
person with respect to the Bonds, or the type of business conducted.
(b) Compliance as of Issue Date. The undertaking, as amended or taking into account such waiver,
would, in the opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel, have complied with the requirements of
the Rule at the time of the original issuance of the Bonds, after taking into account any amendments or
interpretations of the Rule, as well as any change in circumstances.
(c) Consent of Holders; Non-impairment Opinion. The amendment or waiver either (i) is approved by
the Bondholders in the same manner as provided in the Bond Resolution for amendments to the Bond
Resolution with the consent of Bondholders, or (ii) does not, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel, materially impair the interests of the Bondholders or Beneficial Owners.
If this Disclosure Certificate is amended or any provision of this Disclosure Certificate is waived,
the District shall describe such amendment or waiver in the next following Annual Report and shall
include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver and its impact
on the type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of financial
information or operating data being presented by the District. In addition, if the amendment relates to the
accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such change shall be
given in the same manner as for a Listed Event under Section 5(c), and (ii) the Annual Report for the year
in which the change is made should present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible, in
quantitative form) between the financial statements as prepared on the basis of the new accounting
principles and those prepared on the basis of the former accounting principles.

Section 10. Additional Information. Nothing in this Disclosure Certificate shall be deemed to
prevent the District from disseminating any other information, using the means of dissemination set forth
in this Disclosure Certificate or any other means of communication, or including any other information in
any Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event, in addition to that which is required by this
Disclosure Certificate. If the District chooses to include any information in any Annual Report or notice of
occurrence of a Listed Event in addition to that which is specifically required by this Disclosure
Certificate, the District shall have no obligation under this Disclosure Certificate to update such
information or include it in any future Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event.
Section 11. Default. In the event of a failure of the District to comply with any provision of this
Disclosure Certificate, any Bondholder or Beneficial Owner may take such actions as may be necessary
and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the District
to comply with its obligations under this Disclosure Certificate. The sole remedy under this Disclosure
Certificate in the event of any failure of the District to comply with this Disclosure Certificate shall be an
action to compel performance.
Section 12. Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Dissemination Agent. The Dissemination Agent
shall have only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Disclosure Certificate, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Disclosure Certificate against the Dissemination Agent,
and the District agrees to indemnify and save the Dissemination Agent, its officers, directors, employees
and agents, harmless against any loss, expense and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or in the
exercise or performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and expenses) of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding liabilities due to
the Dissemination Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct. The Dissemination Agent shall have the
same rights, privileges and immunities hereunder as are afforded to the Paying Agent under the Bond
Resolution. The obligations of the District under this Section 12 shall survive resignation or removal of
the Dissemination Agent and payment of the Bonds.
Section 13. Beneficiaries. This Disclosure Certificate shall inure solely to the benefit of the District,
the Dissemination Agent, the Participating Underwriter and the owners and Beneficial Owners from time
to time of the Bonds, and shall create no rights in any other person or entity.

Dear Mr. Bland:
As the Chair of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, I am writing to express the Board’s strong support
for the Contra Costa County CalWORKs Home Visiting Initiative County proposal.
The proposed Contra Costa County Home Visiting Initiative (CCCHVI) presents an opportunity to address unmet
needs for home visiting services in Contra Costa County not only for the general target population, but more
specifically for CalWORKs participants. The expansion of already existing evidence-based, high-quality, and
culturally responsive home visiting services will support the positive health, development, and well-being
outcomes for pregnant and parenting women, families, and infants born into poverty.
The CCCHVI will build on the success of already existing evidence-based home visiting initiatives in Contra
Costa County by expanding the capacity of those programs to better serve the CalWORKs population. The
CCCHVI will also expand and support new infrastructure that will facilitate stronger coordination and continuous
quality improvement among the various partners.
Our CCCHVI partners will include:
1. Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) Workforce Service Bureau
(WFS) (the County Welfare Services Bureau)
2. Contra Costa County Health Services (the County Department of Public Health)
3. Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau (CSB)
4. First 5 Contra Costa
5. Aspiranet
The CCCHVI will implement two home visiting models: the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) home visiting
program currently operated by Health Services, and the Early Head Start home visiting (EHS-HV) program which
is jointly operated by CSB and First 5 Contra Costa, and delivered through Aspiranet. WFS will serve as the lead
for this project and will work closely with the two home visiting programs to ensure smooth referrals, screening, September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 533
communications, and case conferencing between the home visiting and CalWORKs and Welfare-to-Work
programs.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is confident in the strong collaboration of these agencies and their
ability to implement the proposed program based on currently existing and successful collaborations and
relationships in serving the CalWORKs population.
First, the two home visiting programs have a history of excellence in serving the community and have strong
past performance to build upon in serving new clients. Second, the partners in the proposed program have pre-
existing relationships with each other which will form a foundation for further collaboration. Finally, the
collaborative process the group engaged in to develop the Home Visiting Initiative County plan is indicative of
this group’s commitment to successful collaboration and implementation of the CCCHVI.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors believes in expanding and further solidifying service delivery
models that target those in poverty. We are especially interested in services that provide the necessary support for
CalWORKs recipients to assist them towards economic sufficiency. We view the CCCHVI as a much-needed
effort towards enhanced outcomes for CalWORKs recipients.
Sincerely,
Karen Mitchoff, Chairwoman

Subject:Sugarloaf Drive Grant Deed of Development Rights
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 537
BACKGROUND:
On September 10, 2018, the Contra Costa County Zoning Administrator conditionally approved an
application for a lot line adjustment (LL17-18) involving two contiguous parcels in the unincorporated
Alamo area of Contra Costa County, California. The lot line adjustment would result in the transfer of a
portion of Parcel B of Minor Subdivision (MS) 44-89 (“Parcel B”) to Parcel A of Minor Subdivision
(MS) 54-84 (“Parcel A”), and the transfer of a portion of Parcel A to Parcel B. A map showing the lot
line adjustment is attached.
Parcel A is owned by Dennis C. Blodgett, Trustee of The Peter Ostrosky Trust. The portion of Mr.
Blodgett’s property that is being transferred to Parcel B is located within a scenic view area observable
from Interstate 680, a scenic route. General Plan Policy 5-49 states that scenic views observable from
scenic routes are to be conserved, enhanced and protect to the extent possible. Based on this policy, the
Zoning Administrator conditioned the lot line adjustment on the execution of the Grant Deed of
Development Rights attached hereto. The Grant Deed of Development Rights must be recorded prior to
the recording of deeds to effectuate the real property transfers under the approved lot line adjustment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The condition of approval of the lot line adjustment could not be satisfied, and the lot line adjustment
could not be completed.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan. HUD uses the CAPER to evaluate whether: (1) the
County has carried out projects/programs as described in its Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan;
(2) the CDBG, HOME, ESG, NSP, and HOPWA assisted activities are eligible and meet a national
objective, and if expenditures meet certain statutory requirements; and (3) the County has demonstrated
a continuing capacity to carry out its HUD funded programs.
The basic elements of the CAPER are the following: summary of resources and expenditures,
programmatic accomplishments, status of actions taken during the year to implement objectives
contained in the Consolidated Plan, and evaluation of progress made during the year in addressing
identified priority needs and objectives.
Highlights of the CAPER include the following:
• The County received $7.4 million in FY 2017/18 CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG funds for use in
accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives.
• The County expended $7.15 million on approved projects and programs (expenditures were for
projects funded in previous and current years).
• The County continued to meet HUD's requirements related to spending CDBG and HOME funds in a
timely manner.
• For each dollar of County federal funds spent for projects that were completed during the year, $12.47
was leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources.
• Over 36,000 lower income persons/families were served through public service programs.
• 25 lower income people were placed in jobs through Economic Development programs.
• 212 businesses were assisted through Economic Development programs.
• 3 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed.
• 141 rental housing units were rehabilitated for low income households.
• 12 owner-occupied homes were constructed.
• 5 owner-occupied homes were rehabilitated.
• 19 homeowners received minor home improvement grants.
• 93 homeowners received foreclosure prevention counseling.
• 514 low income renters received financial assistance to prevent them from becoming homeless or to
quickly regain housing following an episode of being homeless.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County cannot submit the CAPER without Board approval, which would jeopardize future HUD
funding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The project/programs funded with CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, and NSP funds support one or more
of the following children's outcomes:
(1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School;
(2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood;
(3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient;
(4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and
(5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,
giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
All of the County's HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants
(ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) funding sources address the priorities and specific objectives identified in the
FY 2015/2020 Consolidated Plan. All of the funded activities meet at least one of the highest priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan.
The County has made significant progress in meeting the goals and objectives contained in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. During FY 2017/18,
CDBG-funded public service projects provided a wide range of social services to over 36,000 Urban County residents and households, including
the homeless, mentally and physically disabled, seniors, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs populations. Economic
development programs offered training and placement services for 200 lower income persons and assisted with the creation and expansion of

DRAFT dated 9/25/18
212 microenterprises/small businesses. There were three Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects completed in FY 2017/18 that created a variety
of infrastructure and accessibility improvements.
Although the County made progress in meeting the annual goals for most objectives, there were some in which the County did not. The reason
for not meeting the annual goal is primarily due to not having a specific activity that met that objective for that program y ear. However, the
County anticipates that there will be activities in the subsequent Consolidated Plan years that will get awarded CDBG, HOME, ESG, or HOPWA
funds that will meet those objectives for the County to meet its 5-year goals. Housing development projects often take multiple years to be fully
funded, constructed and occupied. Therefore, the five-year goals may be met in just one or two years with other years showing no
accomplishments.

Table 4 – Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments
Narrative
The Contra Costa County HOME Consortium area is comprised of the unincorporated areas and
incorporated cities/towns of the County. In terms of geographic distribution of investment of HOME
funds, HOME housing activities will go towards all eligible areas of the HOME Consortium area to benefit
low-income households.
Contra Costa County also receives an allocation of CDBG funds from HUD to benefit residents of the
Urban County. The Urban County area is comprised of all the unincorporated areas and incorporated
cities/towns of the County, minus the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek. These
four cities receive their own allocation of CDBG funds from HUD and therefore are not part of the Urban
County area. In terms of specific geographic distribution of investments, infrastructure improvements
and public facilities were focused primarily in areas with concentrations of low- to moderate-income
populations within the Urban County area. Investments in CDBG housing activities occur in any Urban
County area.
Contra Costa County also receives an allocation of ESG funds from HUD. The ESG area for the County is
September 25, 2018 BOS Minutes 569
CAPER 10
DRAFT dated 9/25/18
the Urban County area (similar to the County's CDBG Urban County area explained above). In terms of
geographic investment of ESG funds, ESG funds were distributed throughout the Urban County to
provide assistance to the homeless population or those at risk of becoming homeless who are within the
Urban County area of Contra Costa County.
Contra Costa County is also a sub-grantee to the City of Oakland (Alameda County) for the HOPWA
program. Contra Costa County’s HOPWA area is the entire County unincorporated areas and
incorporated cities/towns of the County.
Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
For each dollar spent in County federal funds for projects that were completed during the
program year, $12.47 was leveraged in other federal, State, local, and private resources. The
100 percent ESG matching requirements were met through other federal (non-ESG), State,
local, and private resources. The 25 percent HOME Program match requirement was exceeded
through non-federal resources and the excess will be carried over for the next federal fiscal
year.

Table 10 – Relocation and Real Property Acquisition
In Fiscal Year 2017/18, there were two residential projects that involved the temporary relocation of the
tenants. One project received HOME funds and the other project received CDBG funds. The information
in the table above only includes the HOME funded project.
The Virginia Lane Apartments in Concord received HOME funds for the rehabilitation of all residential
units in the complex. None of the funds were used for acquisition. In the fiscal year, five households
were temporarily relocated with a cost of $376,254 for relocation activities. All occupied units were
distributed multiple notices and information regarding the temporary relocation. The rehabilitation of
all units in the development was completed in November 2017. The leasing of units is underway.
Not included in the table above is the East Bluff Apartments in Pinole, which received CDBG funds for
the acquisition of the property. Rehabilitation of all of the residential units took place, which required
the temporary relocation of the tenants. In the fiscal year, there were 43 households that were
temporarily relocated with a cost of $661,928 for relocation activities. All occupied units were
distributed multiple notices and information regarding the temporary relocation. The rehabilitation of
the units were completed in December 2017 and all tenants have moved back in.

construction in the coming months. In measuring the County’s accomplishments, it must be noted that
the majority of funded housing projects are complex, involving new construction or acquisition and
rehabilitation of multifamily housing and requiring multiple funding sources. In general, these projects
require two to five years from initial development planning to completion and occupancy. In order to
facilitate the ability of the project sponsor to obtain additional funding from other sources (e.g., LIHTCs,
State programs, and FHLB Affordable Housing Program), the County often commits resources relatively

early in the process. Therefore, the number of units funded and completed with current resources is
often less than the number funded and in development.
The Veteran’s Square project is delayed and a construction start date is unknown at this time. Muir
Ridge was completed in September 2017. Tabora Gardens completed construction in April 2018. Riviera

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The Contra Costa Continuum of Care (CoC) uses a number of strategies to reach out to unsheltered
persons experiencing homelessness and assess their individual needs, including direct outreach and
marketing, the use of phone-based services including 2-1-1, marketing in other languages (e.g., Spanish),
making physical and virtual locations accessible to those with disabilities, and collaborating with local
law enforcement. As a part of the Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System, CORE (Coordinated
Outreach, Referral and Engagement) Teams serve as an entry point into the homeless system of care,
providing both day and evening outreach resources and services to encampments and service sites.
All persons experiencing homelessness receive a VI-SPDAT (Vulnerability Index – Service Prioritization
Decision Assistance Tool) assessment, the common assessment tool being used by the Contra Costa
Coordinated Entry System to prioritize those with the highest levels of chronicity and acuity for available
housing resources and services. Persons are also referred to CARE (Coordinated Assessment Resource)
Centers to access services for basic needs, case management, housing navigation, and health care. All
staff administering assessments are trained to use trauma-informed and culturally linguistic competent
practices, and are knowledgeable about using or accessing auxiliary aids and services for persons with
disabilities.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Crisis services, including emergency shelter and transitional housing, are a critical component of the
Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System. For individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis that
cannot be diverted, CORE Teams and CARE Centers make referrals to nearly 800 emergency shelter and
transitional housing beds throughout Contra Costa County. In keeping with a Housing First approach,
the goal of Contra Costa’s crisis response system is to provide immediate and easy access to safe and
decent shelter to anyone who needs it, with the housing-focused goal of re-housing people as quickly as
possible. Contra Costa CoC has established system-level performance measures for emergency shelter,
including reducing the average length of stay (goal: 50 days); increasing exits to permanent housing
(goal: 30%), and increasing non-returns to homelessness (goal: 75%). The average length in time in
shelter increased to 91 days in 2017. The reason for this increase is due to the County’s CORE Street
Outreach teams increasing access for the most vulnerable, and harder to house population. So,
although the rates of those moving out of emergency shelter increased, it is taking much longer to do
so. Of 119 persons that exited to housing in 2017, 38% exited to permanent housing. Lastly, the non-
return rate for 2017 was 85%.

County Emergency Shelter Funding: Of the CDBG and ESG funds received by the County for FY 2017/18,
$192,349 (ESG) and $54,000 (CDBG) was awarded to local emergency shelters to provide shelter and
case management services to homeless adults, families and youth and to victims of domestic violence
and their children. Upon entry to one of the shelters, each resident or family is assigned a case manager
to assist the individual in determining an appropriate service plan that will help them regain housing as
soon as possible. The shelters are part of the County’s Continuum of Care of services and enables
individuals and families the opportunity to work on stabilizing their lives and moving toward a
permanent housing solution.
State ESG Funding: The State, in consultation with HUD, redesigned its ESG Program prior to the 2016
Program Year. The redesign intended to accomplish the following: align State ESG with local entities'
ESG programs and HUD goals; increase coordination of State ESG investments with local homelessness
systems and investments; invest in the most impactful activities, based on key performance goals and
outcomes; shift from an intensive provider competition, in which local providers competed for State
ESG funds with other local providers and providers throughout the State, to a much more local
competition and where the administration of the program is streamlined; and improve geographic
distribution of funding. Under this program design, the State established a dedicated CoC allocation and
simplified process available to California communities that are able to administer ESG locally. Under this
process, eligible local government entities can act as Administrative Entities (AE) of State ESG funds in
furtherance of these goals. Beginning in 2016, HCD will distribute funding for Continuum of Care Service
Areas (or Service Areas) through two allocations: Continuum of Care Allocation for Service Areas that
contain a city or county that receives ESG directly from HUD; and the Balance of State Allocation for
Service Areas that do not contain a city or county that receives ESG directly from HUD. The County's
Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) receives ESG funds directly from HUD to
administer the County's own ESG Program, so it is an eligible local government entity that can act as an
AE of State ESG funds under the State's new program design. On March 30, 2016, the State approved
DCD as an AE to administer State ESG funds on behalf of the State for the County's CoC Service Area,
which includes all of Contra Costa County, with emphasis toward households/residents of the cities of
Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek, as required by the State ESG regulations. The other cities
in the County, including Richmond, are part of the Urban County and are therefore served the County's
direct ESG grant. As an approved AE, Contra Costa County received $578,558 of State ESG funds that
was distributed to Contra Costa County in December 2016 to use on eligible ESG activities. A total of six
programs were awarded State ESG funds. Those funds provided by the state in December 2016 were
used starting in January 2017 through June 30, 2018.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs

The Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System is centralizing prevention/diversion services. Streamlined
and coordinated intake procedures are being used for both phone- and site-based entry points to the
system to identify clients on the brink of homelessness and connect them to prevention and mainstream
services.
Clients are connected to prevention providers (SHELTER, Inc., Trinity Center, and County Homeless
Program) via Contra Costa Crisis Center (2-1-1), and work is underway to enhance partnerships with
other providers in the region (Catholic Charities). The Coordinated Entry Prevention/Diversion
Workgroup (newly formed this year) is conducting a gaps analysis of available prevention/diversion
resources, and is piloting new programming to help individuals and families avoid becoming homeless.
Per the Contra Costa CoC 2014 Strategic Plan Update, Contra Costa is expanding landlord liaisons &
developing a housing stability fund to help clients retain housing and avoid eviction. Season of Sharing
provides $900k annually in temporary financial assistance (emergency rent payments, utilities, & other
aids to prevent homelessness) for families in crisis. Discharge planning w/hospitals, mental health,
substance abuse treatment, corrections & foster care systems also help to reduce first time
homelessness.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
SHORTENING LENGTH OF TIME HOMELESS: Contra Costa’s biggest barrier to reducing length of time
homeless is lack of affordable housing stock. The Contra Costa Built for Zero campaign, in partnership
with Multi-faith ACTION Coalition, has improved landlord engagement by identifying landlords willing to
rent to homeless veterans and chronically homeless families. The Contra Costa Coordinated Entry
System uses the VI-SPDAT (which includes length of homelessness as measure of vulnerability), which
supports reducing length of homelessness. 96% of our providers are Housing First, and our CoC-wide
performance measures, tracked in HMIS, include reducing the average length of stay in emergency
shelter for permanent housing exits. Available housing is prioritized for longest term homeless and our
CoC/ESG providers are committed to reducing length of homelessness.
CHRONICALLY HOMELESS: In the 2018 Homeless Point-In-Time (PIT) Count, there were 555 homeless
individuals who were chronically homeless, which was an increase of 68% from the previous year. This
large one-year increase is due to comprehensive PIT data collection. Over the course of the previous
year, the CoC’s outreach team better identified encampments that were captured in the 2018 PIT Count.
The CORE Street Outreach Program also had six teams conducting PIT data collection, in comparison to
two in the previous year. Two-thirds of those chronically homeless were unsheltered the night of the PIT
Count.By removing barriers to entry through Housing First, our permanent housing has increased access

for chronically homeless individuals and families. The Contra Costa CoC continues to coordinate
resources with the goal of achieving functional zero for the chronically homeless population through
Built for Zero.
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN: Families experiencing a housing crisis who cannot be diverted are connected
to crisis services and assessed using VI-F-SPDAT. Using a Housing First approach, families are connected
to available and appropriate resources, including emergency shelter and warming centers as well as
housing. The VI-SPDAT is used to assess and prioritize families for available permanent supportive
housing and in the next year will be used to prioritize and refer families for Rapid Rehousing. SHELTER,
Inc. is our main RRH provider, assisting families through CoC, ESG, and CalWORKS grants for RRH.
SHELTER, Inc. also maintains a phone line (8,000 calls last year) streamlining linkages to RRH. RRH is a
key strategy to end family homelessness in the Contra Costa CoC 2014 Strategic Plan update.
VETERANS: As a Built for Zero community, a main goal of our CoC is to provide bridges between the
Veteran and homeless systems of care. Built for Zero has improved data sharing between programs to
assess the number of veterans being housed each month in the community. All CoC program-funded
providers, including outreach teams, assess veteran eligibility using a standardized HMIS intake
form. Outreach teams link qualifying clients to veteran service providers. Three providers (SHELTER,
Inc., Berkeley Food & Housing, and the East Bay Community Recovery Project) partner to ensure clients
are able to access SSVF using a Housing First model with full geographic coverage. Veterans service
representatives through the County VA assist clients with any veterans claim to ensure maximum
benefits are awarded.
UNACCOMPANIED YOUTH: Cross organization collaboration also occurs with school districts and County
Department of Education. The Council on Homelessness includes an Educational and Vocational Services
Representative, who serves as our liaison to families in the school system experiencing homelessness,
currently provides technical assistance, professional development and legislation tracking support to 18
districts and works directly with youth in foster care. Contra Costa employs a Homeless Education
Liaison through McKinney-Vento funding, who works to address the educational needs of homeless
children & parents. Representatives from the CoC regularly participate in USD meetings, with CoC-
funded provider SHELTER, Inc. staff serving on the Contra Costa Local Planning Council for Child Care &
Development. These partnerships ensure that homeless families and unaccompanied youth are
connected to the Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System. A youth advisory board is currently under
development to further inform our youth homeless system of care, and we are partnering with the
Department of Education and youth ambassadors to improve the 2018 Point-in-Time Count, to improve
our understanding about unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness in Contra Costa.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) has begun a long-term project to reposition
and rehabilitate its public housing portfolio in the face of ever-decreasing federal, state and local
funding. The initial step in this process is the disposition via RAD of the agency's Las Deltas public
housing property in North Richmond. HACCC has received approval from HUD to move forward with the
RAD conversion of this property. The public housing subsidies received for the 214 units at Las Deltas
will be converted to RAD project-based voucher assistance at eleven new or rehabilitated housing
developments throughout the County. The units at Las Deltas will help produce at least 502 units of new
or rehabilitated affordable housing throughout the County. Of this total, 125 of the units, to date, will
be funded directly with the RAD project-based vouchers received for Las Deltas, 161 will be funded with
"regular" project-based vouchers from the housing authority's existing funding and 216 will be funded
using other affordable housing funds. An additional 89 units are to be committed to other RAD
transactions or replaced through the HUD Demolition and Disposition process that will result in at least
another 89 units of funding for voucher replacement units and likely more units leveraged for further
project-based voucher assistance.
HACCC utilized $2,069,430 of HUD funding for the following improvements:
$339,349 - Demolition of 6 buildings at the Las Deltas development.
$157,164 - Relocation costs - RAD
$454,964 - Security window and door covers for vacant units at the Las Deltas development.
$488,200 - Repair of 4 fire-damaged units at the Bayo Vista development.
$305,578 - Tree trimming and removal at 3 developments.
$34,665 - Computer upgrade
$259,930 - Replace smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in all units
$28,980 - Replace refrigerators, ranges and other dwelling equipment.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
The County will continue its efforts to remove or ameliorate public policies which negatively impact
affordable housing development in the County including the following:
Through the Density Bonus Ordinance, the County is required to grant one density bonus and
incentives or concessions when an applicant for a housing development seeks and agrees to
construct a housing development, excluding any units permitted by the density bonus that will
contain at least one of the following: ten percent of the for lower income households;
five percent of the total units for very low income households; a senior citizen housing
development, or a mobile home park that limits residency based on age requirements for
housing older persons; or ten percent of the total dwelling units in a common interest
development for persons and families of moderate income, provided that all units in the
development are offered to the public for purchase.
The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requires all developers of five or more units to provide 15
percent of the units at affordable costs to moderate, low or very-low income households
depending on the type of project. Developers may pay a fee in lieu of providing the affordable
units.
The County will review and develop new regulations to permit the development of agriculturally
related structures on agriculturally zoned land without a use permit in order to encourage the
provision of onsite farmworker housing.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County's efforts to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing, and to meet the
objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan, described in the general narrative sections of this report,
are all directed to meeting underserved needs. In addition, the criteria for target population and
alleviation of affordable housing needs employed in the allocation of HOME and CDBG funds for
housing, establish a priority for projects that reserve a portion of the units for extremely-low income
and/or special needs populations.
The following are obstacles to meeting needs of the underserved:
Accessibility to Services: Lack of accessibility to services can be the result of lack of transportation for
those in need, services that are not delivered in a culturally appropriate manner or in the appropriate
language, burdensome prerequisites to accessing services (“red tape”), and services that are not
provided in proximity to those in need. Lack of transportation is a particular challenge for those who do

CAPER 23
DRAFT dated 9/25/18
not drive, do not have a car, or are elderly and for persons with disabilities. Most if not all of the public
service projects listed in AP-38 are located within the neighborhoods or communities of the target
population to provide easy accessibility to their services. Some of the public service projects serving the
elderly or persons with disabilities provide transportation to their services or provide "in-home"
services.
Awareness of Services: The lack of awareness of the availability of services by those in need and a lack of
knowledge about how to access services are significant obstacles to the provision of services. All
agencies receiving CDBG, HOME, ESG, or HOPWA funds from the County must provide significant
outreach to those in need. County DCD staff continues to monitor CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funded
agencies to verify if an agency's outreach is adequate and that outreach materials are available in
various languages.
Coordination of Services: Those in need often access services from several points; similar services may
also be provided by more than one agency. Those being served by one agency may have needs that are
not being addressed by the particular agency currently serving that person or family. County DCD staff
advocates that CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funded agencies collaborate and coordinate with other
agencies in the community or serving their target population. DCD staff continue to encourage agencies
to collaborate and coordinate to avoid duplication and to provide more efficient services to their clients
or target populations.
Resources: Resources are generally less than required to meet the level of need. The
CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funds that are available are prioritized to the high Priority Needs and Goals
established in the 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan. Funding is also prioritized to those undertakings that
represent the most efficient use of funds, are delivered by the most qualified persons, and serve the
broadest area.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County has incorporated the requirements of the lead-based paint regulations (24 CFR PART 35)
into its affected programs, including the homeowner and rental rehabilitation programs. These
programs developed implementation plans that include procedures to test for lead-based paint,
determine a scope of work to address lead-based paint hazards, ensure qualified contractors are
performing the required work, and obtain a clearance examination at project completion.
Additionally, the County's Neighborhood Preservation Program, a home rehabilitation program,
provides grants to homeowners who have received rehabilitation loans and need to abate lead hazards.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The movement of people to above the poverty line involves a variety of policies and programs that
extend beyond providing opportunities for employment at a living wage. Access to education,

alleviate poverty in the Urban County, including efforts to stimulate economic growth and job
opportunities, and to provide Urban County residents with the skills and abilities required to take
advantage of those opportunities.
In FY 2017/18, the CDBG program provided funds for four job training and placement programs:

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
Urban County staff, along with staff from the other Contra Costa CDBG entitlement jurisdictions
(Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek), worked together to prepare the Contra Costa
Consortium Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). This document outlines and identifies
barriers to fair housing and presents a plan to properly navigate them. An update of the AI was
completed and approved by each Contra Costa CDBG entitlement jurisdiction in 2017. The AI is
available on the County website at http://www.cccounty.us/4823/Community-Development-Block-
Grant .
To address impediments identified in the study, the Update to the AI offers a set of recommendations
for consideration. Below are the following in which the County has taken action to fulfill the
recommendations.
Recommendation # 1: Increase Public Awareness of Fair Housing Rights – The County and the
Consortium cities continue to provide CDBG support to agencies to provide Fair Housing consulting
services. Fair housing service providers and their partner agencies continue to expand outreach to the
community regarding fair housing rights. Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) is one example
of a service provider that conducted fair housing trainings and outreach at 16 non-profit agencies
throughout the County. This outreach was focused on low-income communities and described their

DRAFT dated 9/25/18
services and contact information. Many of these communities contain a significant number of Spanish-
speaking and other non-English speaking residents.
Recommendation # 2: Improve Financial Assistance for Housing – The County and cities continue to
collaborate to expand affordable housing in communities where such opportunities are limited. The
County and many of the Consortium cities have continued to allocate resources to encourage and
facilitate the development of affordable housing throughout the entire Consortium, resulting in the
development of new affordable housing. Additionally, provisions were made for a single-family
rehabilitation program, first-time homebuyer programs, and fair housing counseling, legal service and
outreach. In addition, the County continues to provide CDBG financial support for tenant/landlord
services for low-income residents of the County. Lastly, the County’s Mortgage Credit Certificate
program reserves 40 percent of its allocation for households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the
area median income. Lenders have cooperated with the program, and 10 Mortgage Credit Certificates
were provided to low-income households.
Recommendation # 3: Review Home Purchase Loan Denial Figures with Local Lenders – The County and
the Consortium cities have incorporated in the CDBG contracts with their respective Fair Housing
consulting agencies a review and monitoring of HMDA data in regard to loan denial rates among
racial/ethnic minorities. The agencies will provide an update of their reviews of this information in
quarterly reports and in quarterly meetings with the County and Consortium cities.
Recommendation # 4: Increase Access to Special Needs Housing – The County and the Consortium
cities will inform its Fair Housing services providers to incorporate education and information to tenant,
owners, and agents of rental properties about the necessity to provide equal access to housing to
special needs populations.
Recommendation # 5: Review Municipalities Planning Code and Offer Incentives - This
recommendation is a long-term goal and the County will begin developing steps to implement this
recommendation. However, the County has continued its efforts to remove or ameliorate public
policies within County code that negatively impact affordable housing development in the County
including the following:Through the Density Bonus Ordinance, the County is required to grant one
density bonus and incentives or concessions when an applicant for a housing development seeks and
agrees to construct a housing development, excluding any units permitted by the density bonus that will
contain at least one of the following: ten percent of the for lower income households; five percent of
the total units for very low income households; a senior citizen housing development, or a mobile home
park that limits residency based on age requirements for housing older persons; or ten percent of the
total dwelling units in a common interest development for persons and families of moderate income,
provided that all units in the development are offered to the public for purchase. The Inclusionary

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
The County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is responsible for administration of
the following federally funded programs: CDBG, HOME, NSP, ESG and HOPWA. All projects funded
through these programs are monitored by DCD to ensure that the projects achieve their approved
objectives in a manner consistent with federal regulations, the Consolidated Plan, and other local
planning requirements. DCD's monitoring process consists of the following:
Prior to funding consideration, all project applications are reviewed to ensure consistency with
federal regulations, Board of Supervisor policy, the Consolidated Plan, the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (if applicable) and the County Housing Element (if
applicable).
All project sponsors receiving an allocation of CDBG, HOME, NSP, HOPWA and/or ESG funds are
required to enter into Project Agreements which specify project objectives, scope of work,
eligible activities, performance targets, project budget, implementation time frame, federal
regulatory requirements, and monitoring and reporting requirements.
During project implementation, project sponsors are required to submit periodic progress
reports detailing project progress, significant problems encountered (and their resolution),
project funding and expenditures, affirmative marketing activity and quantitative participation
data that illustrates findings on the amount of outreach to women and minority-owned
businesses. In addition, projects are monitored as applicable for compliance with federal
accounting and procurement standards, labor and construction standards, relocation,
affirmative marketing, equal opportunity, fair housing, and other federal requirements.
Following project completion, project sponsors are required to submit Project Completion
Reports identifying: project accomplishments; population served, including data on household
characteristics (e.g., income, ethnicity); rent and/or housing affordability; and total sources and
uses of funds.
Affordable housing development projects (e.g., acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction) must also
submit annual compliance reports designed to ensure continued compliance with federal regulations,
affordability and use restrictions, and other requirements as specified in the project loan documents. In
addition, all HOME-assisted projects are subject to periodic onsite inspections to ensure continued
compliance with local housing code.

CR-50 - HOME 91.520(d)
Include the results of on-site inspections of affordable rental housing assisted under the
program to determine compliance with housing codes and other applicable regulations
Please list those projects that should have been inspected on -site this program year based upon
the schedule in §92.504(d). Indicate which of these were inspected and a summary of is sues
that were detected during the inspection. For those that were not inspected, please indicate
the reason and how you will remedy the situation.
Effective January 24, 2015, participating jurisdictions are now required to inspect rental projects funded
with HOME funds at least once every three years during the required period of affordability. DCD
staff monitors units in one of the three regions of the County (East, Central and West) each year. Staff
inspects 15 percent of the HOME-assisted units for each monitored project. Copies of the inspection
reports are maintained at the DCD offices.
During FY 2017/18, the County performed on-site inspections of 49 HOME-assisted units located in West
Contra Costa County. Concurrent with the on-site physical inspections, DCD staff inspects tenant files to
ensure the management company complies with the HOME program and local County requirements.
The review includes income certifications, rent and utility allowance calculations, and appropriate
tenant lease provisions, as well as the annual project audit and operating budget. The following table
summarizes the on-site inspections completed during the fiscal year.

Provide an assessment of the jurisdiction's affirmative marketing action s for HOME units.
92.351(b)
The objective of affirmative marketing is to promote equal access to housing by all groups within the
market area. The County has adopted the following policies and measures:
Information concerning the availability of funding, housing opportunities, and fair housing and
affirmative marketing requirements will be distributed to the general public; all jurisdictions and housing
agencies located in the County; property owners and developers of affordable housing; and minority
and public interest groups.
Notices of funds available are posted on the County website at http://www.co.contra-
costa.ca.us/4823/Community-Development-Block-Grant.
Informational material describing the HOME, CDBG, NSP, HOPWA and ESG Programs is available at
http://www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/4881/Developing-Affordable-Housing (for developers)
http://www.cccounty.us/affordablehousing (for consumers).
The County will maintain records concerning the above activities, including copies of press releases,
affirmative marketing materials distributed, and workshops and meetings held with the above groups
and organizations.
The County requires owners of federally assisted housing to comply with federal fair housing law and
employ the following affirmative marketing activities:
Advertise the availability of assisted units in local newspapers and newsletters, such as those
published by minority groups, neighborhood churches, public service organizations, etc.; and on
bulletin boards in community gathering spots (e.g. community center, church, supermarket,
laundromat, fair housing/housing counseling agency, and employment offices).
Contact appropriate community organizations and representatives of minority and other
disadvantaged groups to solicit tenants and provide information about the availability of the
assisted units.
Display the Equal Housing Opportunity logo at the project location and in all advertisements
pertaining to assisted units.
Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for pr ojects,
including the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics
The amount of HOME program income (PI) received in FY 2017/18 was $630,528. The amount of HOME
PI used on projects during FY 2017/18 was $768,281, which includes PI from the previous year. The
funds will be allocated to a housing development during the FY 2019/20 Action Plan cycle. With the new
HUD procedures, the County will start allocating PI to specific projects.

Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. 91.220(k) (STATES
ONLY: Including the coordination of LIHTC with the development of affordable housing).
91.320(j)
Market factors such as the high cost of land suitable for residential development and high construction
costs continue to be significant constraints on the development of affordable housing in Contra
Costa. In addition, the elimination of redevelopment agencies has made it much more difficult to obtain
funding for affordable housing development. The County attempts to counter these factors with
strategies and subsidy programs to develop affordable rental housing and homeownership
opportunities. Actions undertaken by the County to decrease development costs and eliminate barriers
to affordable housing include the following:
The County adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance which requires developers to provide 15
percent of the units as affordable to moderate, low, or very-low income households. However,
2009 court decisions have made the rental housing component of the Ordinance un-
enforceable.
The County has a density bonus ordinance to permit increased densities for housing
developments that include units affordable to low-income households.
