November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 20
BACKGROUND:
The Committee and Board have received extensive information on several occasions concerning the
fiscal impacts of implementing the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) 2.0. Staff estimated it will cost
approximately $5 million annually to comply with all the provisions in the permit (not including PCB
load reduction costs). However, the County only receives about $3.2 million each year in discretionary
revenue for stormwater related services and projects (Stormwater Utility Assessments), and there are
currently no additional resources available from the General Fund. Staff identified $510,000 of local
road funds and $75,000 of flood control funds that could be used to help pay for program activities. It
should be noted that if the gas tax is repealed, any contribution from the Local Road Fund would have to
be reconsidered and likely removed.
There are insufficient funds to close the $1.2 million gap between available revenue and estimated
expenditures. As a result, staff has prepared an Implementation Plan that identifies permit tasks that will
be completed as well as those tasks that will not be completed during the permit term. It should be noted
that, although some tasks will not be completed within the permit timeline, there is still a commitment to
complete them eventually. This report outlines the steps staff took to develop the Implementation Plan
and arrive at the recommendations. The key steps in developing the Plan were identifying objectives, a
business approach, potential service reductions, tier selection criteria, and task prioritization. Staff also
understands the priorities of the Regional Board, meeting often with Regional Board staff to discuss
implementation issues and attending their Board meetings that feature implementation items.
Plan Objectives. A primary objective is to maximize effectiveness of permit compliance, so our
work truly improves water quality. Even though the County does not currently have sufficient funds to
complete every task, we want to show the Regional Board that we are committed to improving water
quality and working hard to do so. We welcome taking a leadership role in resolving difficult issues, as
long as the Regional Board acknowledges that resolution to these issues may take longer than expected.
Our primary focus is to identify key tasks we must complete, but also identify some amount of work that
will be done on all other tasks. An important message is work will be done on all tasks but not all tasks
will be completed within the permit timeline.
Task Prioritization. Staff identified all of the MRP 2.0 tasks and prioritized them using the
following criteria:
Maximizing pollution removal
Realizing co-benefits and benefits to the community, and improving community
value
Maximizing program effectiveness (staff resources, program objectives, program
costs)
Matching Regional Board priorities
The prioritized list of tasks was divided into three tiers, Tier 1 being top priority and Tier 3 being low
priority. Tier 1 tasks will receive full funding, Tier 2 tasks will receive substantial funding, and Tier 3
tasks will receive limited funding.
Attached is a list of the 13 tasks and their ranking (Exhibit 3). Since trash reduction is a top priority for
the Regional Board, we have made trash related tasks a top priority as well, with most in the Tier 1
category. Also attached is the Implementation Plan and a supporting budget showing the costs for each
task (Exhibits 1 and 2).
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 21
task (Exhibits 1 and 2).
Service Reductions/Savings. Aside from the MRP 2.0 tasks, there are other baseline tasks and
services that have been part of the program for many years. Staff reviewed all of the tasks, services and
programs that are funded with Stormwater Utility Assessment funds and determined which services
could be reduced. In addition, staff reviewed tasks, services or programs that could be funded from other
revenue sources. The service reductions and funding enhancements are shown below:
Street Sweeping. Transfer street sweeping to the Road Fund. This would likely not
occur if the gas tax is modified.
< > Reduce inspections by 50%.< > Reduce the Public Information and Participation
Program by 50%.< > Eliminate the annual calendar.The attached budget (Exhibit 2)
includes these service reductions and funding shifts, with the savings shown in the
"Difference" column.
Implementation Plan. Staff recommends approval of a tiered approach to meeting
MRP 2.0 requirements, with full focus and full funding on Tier 1 tasks and reduced
funding and focus, but commitment to eventually complete, Tier 2 and Tier 3 tasks.
Timelines for deferred completion will be developed in light of budgets, staffing,
and future MRP 3.0 requirements anticipated. Once the Implementation Plan is
approved, staff will meet with Regional Board staff to discuss the proposed plan and
the County’s approach in implementing the proposed plan.
Consequences of Non-Compliance. As stated earlier in this report, there is a
funding gap of approximately $1.2 million between revenue and estimated costs of
compliance. This funding gap could grow to $1.7 million if Road Funds cannot be
used to help pay for some implementation tasks. It should be noted that the
estimated $5 million cost of compliance cited above does not include the cost to
reduce PCB loads through green infrastructure. Those additional costs could be tens
of millions of dollars. (We are assuming that all PCB load reduction will be
performed by or paid by developers or other local project funds for roads, buildings,
parks, etc.) So, the $1.2 million funding gap could be much larger depending on
local funds available and project timing. Given there is a funding gap of at least $1.2
million, permit non-compliance is likely. Non-compliance can lead to fines and
third-party lawsuits.
The Regional Board must issue the County a stormwater permit as required by and
with authority from the Environmental Protection Agency and the federal Clean
Water Act. The Regional Board also has authority to issue permits through State
statute that is, in many cases, more stringent than the Clean Water Act. When a
permittee is in non-compliance, the Regional Board can issue a Notice of Violation
and levy fines of $37,500 per violation per day through federal authority, and
$10,000 per violation per day through State authority. The County would likely be
facing multiple violations. The largest exposure from non-compliance, however, is
from third party lawsuits. If the Regional Board finds the County in non-compliance
it is highly likely the County would lose any third party lawsuit and face a very
expensive settlement agreement or court decision.
These same risks have been in play since the County entered its first permit. The
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 22
County’s Public Works Department has been working collaboratively with the
Regional Board and Bay Area clean water advocacy groups to educate and inform
them of the constraints on our ability to both meet the requirements of the permit
and to commit proper funding to permit compliance. So far, those parties have been
understanding and taken our plight into consideration. Thus, we anticipate that any
concerns raised by those parties in response to our Implementation Plan will be
communicated to us with an opportunity to make adjustments. Those adjustments
may entail returning to the Committee and/or Board of Supervisors with a request to
consider more aggressive options, such as more funding. Staff will report back to the
Committee at least annually as the Implementation Plan moves forward.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Implementation Plan will not be approved and staff will have no direction on how to implement
permit requirements with inadequate funding.

Background
The Regional Water Quality Control Board issues the County a stormwater permit that requires the
County to reduce pollutants in the stormwater flowing through its drainage systems and waterways.
These stormwater permits are issued every five years, the first issued in 1993, and every succeeding
permit has more difficult requirements that take more resources to comply with. The current permit
has, among its many provisions, four focus areas: green infrastructure, trash, PCBs, and mercury.
Green infrastructure includes drainage basins and swales that filter and treat stormwater through
special soils and vegetation.
Financial Resources Available
- The Regional Board issued the County a permit to reduce pollution in stormwater
- The estimated cost to comply with the permit is about $5 million
- The County only has about $3.2 million in dedicated annual revenue available for permit
compliance
- There are no supplemental resources available from the County General Fund
- Some restricted funding sources have been identified (e.g. Road Fund) that can fund certain tasks
Staff estimated it would cost around $5 million to comply with all provisions in the current
stormwater permit, Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) 2.0. However, the County only receives about
$3.2 million each year in discretionary revenue for stormwater related services and projects, and
there are no additional resources available from the General Fund. Staff did identify $510,000 of
Road Funds and $75,000 of Flood Control Funds that could be used to help pay for program
activities. It should be noted that if the gas tax is reduced, any contribution from the Road Fund
would have to be reconsidered and likely removed. In any event, there are insufficient funds to close
the gap (about $1.2 million) between available revenue and estimated expenditures, and a plan is
needed to determine how the County will implement permit requirements – an Implementation Plan.
Implementation Plan Objectives
- Maximize effectiveness of permit compliance
- Use a strategic process to decide prioritization within budget limitations
- Demonstrate the County does the right thing and is always trying
- Communicate the importance of stormwater quality to communities
A primary objective of the Implementation Plan is to maximize effectiveness of permit compliance, so
our work truly improves water quality. Even though the County does not have sufficient funds to
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 24
Page 2 of 3
complete every task, the County wants to demonstrate to the Regional Board it is committed to
improving water quality and working hard to do so. And the County doesn't mind taking a leadership
role in resolving difficult issues, as long as the Regional Board acknowledges that eventual resolution
may take longer than expected.
Approach to Implement Permit Requirements
- Identify the most efficient and effective way to address permit compliance with available funding
Focus on top tier tasks and reduce resources on low tier tasks
Focus resources on top tier tasks, about 60% of total program expenditures
Reduce funding to remaining tasks, about 40% of total program expenditures
- Develop a prioritized list of permit requirements grouped into three tiers
- High-priority, Tier 1, requirements will be completed on time
- Low priority tasks, Tier 2 and Tier 3, will be completed but not on time
The approach in developing the Implementation Plan is to identify tasks that will be completed and
will be a primary focus, but also identify some work that will be done on all other tasks. So work will
be done on all tasks but not all tasks will be completed within the permit timeline.
Task Prioritization
Staff identified key MRP 2.0 tasks and prioritized them using the following criteria:
- Maximizing pollution removal
- Realizing co-benefits and benefits to the community, and improving community value
- Maximizing program effectiveness (staff resources, program objectives, program costs)
- Matching Regional Board priorities
The prioritized list of tasks was divided into three tiers, Tier 1 being top priority and Tier 3 being low
priority. Tier 1 tasks will receive full funding, Tier 2 tasks will receive substantial funding, and Tier 3
tasks will receive little funding.
Exhibit 1 is a list of 13 tasks from MRP 2.0 and their ranking. Since trash reduction is a top priority
for the Regional Board, trash related tasks are a top priority in the Plan as well, with most in the Tier
1 category.
Service Reductions/Savings
Aside from the MRP 2.0 tasks, there are other baseline tasks and services that have been part of the
program for many years. Staff reviewed all of the services and programs that are funded with
Stormwater Utility Assessment funds and determined which services could be reduced. Stormwater
Utility Assessment funds are the source of dedicated revenue used to fund stormwater services,
programs, and projects. In addition, staff reviewed services or programs that could be funded from
other sources and would represent a savings. The following service reductions and program savings
were identified:
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 25
Page 3 of 3
- Street Sweeping. Transfer street sweeping to the Road Fund (This would likely not occur if the
gas tax is modified)
- Inspections. Reduce inspections by 50%
- Outreach. Reduce the Public Information and Participation Program by 50%
- Calendar. Eliminate the annual calendar
The attached budget (Exhibit 2) includes these service reductions and funding shifts, with the savings
shown in the "Difference" column.
Implementation Plan
The Implementation Plan identifies permit tasks that will be completed during the permit term, and
tasks that will not be completed during the permit term. It should be noted that, although some
tasks will not be completed within the permit timeline, there is still a commitment to complete them
eventually. These tasks are shown in Exhibit 2, the proposed budget for the Implementation Plan.
The budget lists all of the tasks required in the stormwater permit and shows those that have been
prioritized and identified as Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3, and those service reductions or funding shifts
that represent a savings. Budget items that are not prioritized or listed as a savings are generally
baseline activities from MRP 1.0 that need to be done.
The Constrained Budget represents the estimated cost to comply with all permit provisions, with the
exception of PCBs, within the permit timeline. PCB requirements are not included in the estimated
budget because there is too much uncertainty around how compliance will be achieved. The County
is assuming, in its planning budget scenarios, that PCBs will not be directly addressed by the County
but instead through development projects or remediation of source properties. The Constrained
Budget costs total about $5 million. The Implementation Plan Budget costs total about $3.2 million,
equal to the average annual revenue dedicated for stormwater purposes. It should be noted that
about $600,000 of the Implementation Plan Budget is funded by Road Funds or Flood Control Funds.
Any change in the ability to use those funds would require modification of the Implementation Plan
Budget.

Subject:Public Hearing- Impasse with Teamsters Local 856 regarding Dental Assistant Job Specification Revisions
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 30
BACKGROUND:
On May 17, 2018, the County received a declaration of impasse and request for mediation from Teamsters,
Local 856. On or about June 5, 2018, the parties began communicating with the mediator to schedule the
mediation. The parties met with an assigned State Mediator on September 21, 2018, regarding the
non-substantial revisions to the typical tasks, minimum qualifications, and knowledge, skills and abilities
(KSA) sections of the Registered Dental Assistant (RDA), Registered Dental Assistant-Project, and Lead
Registered Dental Assistant job specifications. The revisions included updating the license/certification
section of the job specification to reflect the current requirements that are in practice for an RDA to
maintain employment with Contra Costa County. Other revisions included updating KSA’s to reflect
industry standard language, added language to promote excellent customer service and to acknowledge and
respect cultural, educational and linguistic differences of the County’s diverse population.
On September 25, 2018, Teamsters, Local 856 filed a request for fact finding regarding the revised job
specifications. On September 28, 2018, the County opposed the request for fact finding on the basis that the
request was filed untimely. On October 2, 2018, PERB notified the County that Teamsters Local 856 had
withdrawn the fact finding request.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The job specifications would not reflect updated tasks, minimum qualifications, and knowledge, skills, and
abilities.

class to which the position has been reclassified, the salary of the incumbent shall be

reallocated to a salary range above or below that to which it was previously
allocated, when the number of steps remain the same, shall be compensated at
the same step in the new salary range the employee was receiving in the range
to which the class was previously allocated. If the reallocation is from one salary
range with more steps to a range with fewer steps or vice versa, the employee
shall be compensated at the step on the new range which is in the same
percentage ratio to the top step of the new range as was the salary received
before reallocation to the top step of the old range, but in no case shall any
employee be compensated at less than the first step of the range to which the
class is allocated.
B. In the event that a classification is reallocated from a salary range with more
steps to a salary range with fewer steps on the salary schedule, apart from the
general salary increase or decrease described in this Section 5.11.A, each
incumbent of a position in the reallocated class shall be placed upon the step of
the new range which equals the rate of pay received before the reallocation. In

November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 58
SECTION 5 – SALARIES
CNA - 14 - 2018-2021
next above the salary rate received in the old range , or if the new range does not

the old range.
C. In the event an employee is in a position which is reallocated to a different class
which is allocated to a salary range the same as, or above or below the salary
range of the employee's previous class, the incumbent shall be placed at the step
in the new class which equals the rate of pay received before reallocation. In the
event that the steps in the range for the new class do not contain the same rates
as the range for the old class, the incumbent shall be placed at the step of the
new range which is next above the salary rate received in the old range; or if the
new range does not contain a higher step, the incumbent shal l be placed at the

this increase is less than five percent (5%), the employee's salary shall be adjusted to
the step in the new range which is at least five percent (5%) greater than the next higher
step; provided, however, that the next step shall not exceed the maximum salary for the
higher class. In the event of the appointment of a laid off employee from the layoff list to
the class from which the employee was laid off, the employee shall be appointed at the
step which the employee had formerly attained in the higher class unless such step
results in a decrease in which case the employee is appointed to the next higher step.
If, however, the employee is being appointed into a class a llocated to a higher salary
range than the class from which the employee was laid off, the salary will be calculated
from the highest step the employee achieved prior to layoff, or from the employee’s
current step, whichever is higher.
5.13 Salary on Involuntary Demotion. Any employee in a permanent position who
is demoted, except as provided under Section 5.15-Transfer, shall have his/her salary
reduced to the monthly salary step in the range for the class of position to which he/she
has been demoted next lower than the salary received before demotion. In the event
this decrease is less than five percent (5%), the employee's salary shall be adjusted to
the step in the new range which is five percent (5%) less than the next lower step;
provided, however, that the next step shall not be less than the minimum salary for the
lower class.
Whenever the demotion is the result of layoff, cancellation of positions, or displacement
by another employee with greater seniority rights, the salary of the demoted emplo yee
shall be that step on the salary range which he/she would have achieved had he/she
been continuously in the position to which he/she has been demoted, all within -range
increments having been granted.

shall be set at the step next below former salary.
5.15 Transfer. An employee in a permanent position who is transferred from one
position to another as described under "Transfer" shall be placed at the step in the
salary range of the new class which equals the rate of pay received before the transfer.
In the event that the steps in the range for the new class do not contain the same rates
as the range for the old class, the employee shall be placed at the step of the new
range which is next above the salary rate received in the old range; or if the new range
does not contain a higher step, the employee shall be placed at the step which is next
lower than the salary received in the old range. If the transfer is to a deep class, the
provisions of the deep class resolution on salary of transfers, if any, shall apply in lieu of
the above provisions.
5.16 Pay for Work in Higher Classification. When an employee in a permanent
position in the merit system is required to work in a classification for which the

B. No later than February 17, 2016, for the 2015 incentive payment year, EPs who
wish to obtain an EHR incentive payment for AIU to ccLink, must register and
attest to meeting EHR Incentive Program requirements for AIU through the
federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) EHR Incentive
Program Registration and Attestation System and select the Medi-Cal EHR State

the EHR incentive payment for AIU. EPs who receive or apply for an EHR
incentive payment for AIU by February 17, 2016, will reassign subsequent
incentive payments to the County as described in 5.20.C., below. EPs who do
not receive or apply to receive an EHR incentive payment for AIU by February
17, 2016, will reassign all EHR incentive payments to the County as described in
5.20.C., below. The intent of this provision is that no EP will receive more than
one (1), if any, EHR incentive payments before reassignment of the EHR
incentive payments to the County after February 17, 2016.
C. Beginning with the 2016 incentive payment year and each year thereafter, EPs
employed in classifications represented by CNA will reassign their EHR incentive
payments to the County. The EPs will provide the County with any requested
information and complete any necessary documentation to reassign their EHR
incentive payments to the County. In consideration for the reassignment of th e
EHR incentive payments, the County and CNA agree to the wage increases set
forth in Section 5.1.A, above.
D. This Section 5.20 is not subject to the grievance procedure of this MOU.
E. This Section 5.20 expires upon expiration of the EHR Incentive Program in 2021.
SECTION 6 – DAYS AND HOURS OF WORK
6.1 Days and Hours of Work. This language is intended to replace all language in
the MOU’s purporting to define work schedules, including flexible and alternate work
schedules.
DEFINITIONS: The work schedules of each employee must conform with the following
definitions:
A. Regular Work Schedule: A regular work schedule is eight (8) hours per day,
Monday through Friday, inclusive, for a total of forty (40) hours per week. The
regular workweek of County employees begins at 12:01 a.m. Monday and ends
at 12:00 midnight Sunday. For twenty-four (24) hour shift employees, including
employees of inpatient units on 4/10 schedules, the normal workweek begins at
12:01 a.m. Sunday and ends at 12:00 midnight Saturday.
B. Flexible Work Schedule: A flexible work schedule is any work schedule where
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 63
SECTION 6 – DAYS AND HOURS OF WORK
CNA - 19 - 2018-2021
an employee is regularly scheduled to work other than eight (8) hours per day
between Monday and Friday, inclusive. The 9/80 and the 4/10 schedules are two
examples of flexible work schedules.
C. Alternate Work Schedule: An alternate work schedule is any work schedule
where an employee is regularly scheduled to work five (5) days per week, but the
employee’s regularly scheduled two (2) days off are NOT Saturday and Sund ay.
D. Workweek For Employees on Regular, Alternate, and 4/10 Work Schedules: The
4/10 work schedule consists of four (4), ten (10) hour days that have the same
start time with either a Monday or Friday off. The workweek for employees on a
regular, alternate or 4/10 workweek begins at 12:01 a.m. on Monday and end s at
12:00 midnight on Sunday.
E. Workweek for Employees on a 9/80 Work Schedule: The 9/80 work schedule
consists of a two (2) calendar week period during which an employee works a
recurring schedule of thirty-six (36) hours in one calendar week and forty-four
(44) hours in the next calendar week, but only forty (40) hours in the designated
workweek. In the thirty-six (36) hour calendar week, the employee works four (4)
nine (9) hour days and has the same day of the week off that is worked for eight
(8) hours in the forty-four (44) hour calendar week. In the forty-four (44) hour
calendar week, the employee works four (4) nine (9) hour days and one (1) eight
(8) hour day. To ensure that the employee’s regular work schedule does not
result in unauthorized overtime, the employee’s workweek begins one (1) minute
after the midpoint of the employee’s eight (8) hour workday, such that has
worked four (4) hours of the eight (8) hour workday, so that four (4) of the hours
of that workday are in one (1) workweek and the other four (4) hours are in the
next workweek.
The parties agree to reopen the work schedule provisions of the MOU for the purpose of
ensuring consistent practice among departments and applicable regulatory
requirements. It is not the intent of the parties that such negotiations take away from or
add to the current work schedule provisions, except to ensure that such provisions are
consistently applied in accordance with the MOU, County policies and any legal
requirements.
6.2 Four (4) Week Schedules/Weekend Schedules. For Registered Nurses
assigned to areas that have twenty-four (24) hour staffing, a four (4) week work
schedule will be published by Nursing Administration which provides that each
Registered Nurse shall have every other weekend off. Registered Nurses may
exchange days off within the four (4) week cycle but no Registered Nurse shall become
eligible for overtime as the result of said exchange. Such exchange days off shall be
subject to the approval of the appropriate Nursing Program Manager.
Registered Nurses and Family Nurse Practitioners with twenty (20) years of service with
the County shall, upon request, be granted every weekend off. The seniority date to be
used to determine eligibility for weekends off after twenty (20) years of service will be
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 64
SECTION 7 – OVERTIME AND COMPENSATORY TIME
CNA - 20 - 2018-2021
the County Service Award date as defined in Section 45 – Length of Service Definition
(for service awards and vacation accruals) of the MOU.
Registered Nurses and Family Nurse Practitioners hired on or after January 1, 2019
with twenty (20) years of service with the County shall, upon request, be granted every
weekend off. The service date used to determine eligibility for weekends off after twenty
(20) years of service will be the employee’s initial hire date into an Association
bargaining unit classification.
6.3 Time Changes: Pacific Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time. For those
nurses who work on the shift when daylight savings time begins and ends each year,
their work hours will be adjusted for that shift to the number of work hours they regularly
work on that shift.
6.4 Low Census. In the event that there is a decrease in the hospital census
requiring adjusting levels of nurse staffing and/or there are insufficient nurses who
volunteer to use accruals or take time off without pay in order to reduce staffing to the
necessary level, the County and Association agree to meet and confer upon request
regarding formal low census provisions.
SECTION 7 – OVERTIME AND COMPENSATORY TIME
7.1 Overtime. Overtime is any authorized work performed in excess of forty (40)
hours per week or (8) eight hours per day. Overtime for employees on other work
schedules such as on ten (10) hour or twelve (12) hour shifts is any work p erformed
beyond that work schedule or forty (40) hours per week. All overtime shall be
compensated for at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee's base rate
of pay (not including shift and other special differentials). Permanent part -time
registered nurses shall be compensated at the straight time rate for those hours worked
over and above the regular work schedule but less than eight (8) hours a day or forty
(40) hours per week. Overtime for permanent employees is earned and credited in a
maximum of one (1) minute increments and is compensated by either pay or
compensatory time off.
Employees who work a double shift shall receive fifty-four dollars ($54.00) in addition to
all other compensation for each double shift worked. Registered Nurses who work from
the beginning of their regularly scheduled shift to the conclusion of the next scheduled
shift will be considered to have worked a double shift. If the second shift is not
completed, the premium will be prorated. If the total hours worked, excluding lunch
breaks, exceed sixteen (16) hours, additional prorated premium will be paid.
Employees entitled to overtime credit for holidays in positions which work around the
clock (such as the County Hospital, Sheriff's Office, Jails, Juvenile Hall, and Boys'
Ranch) shall be provided a choice as to whether they shall be paid at the overtime rate
or shall receive compensatory time off at the rate of one and one -half (1-1/2) hours
compensatory time off for each hour worked. Such compensatory tim e off, and the
accumulation thereof, shall be in addition to the total vacation accumulation permitted
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 65
SECTION 7 – OVERTIME AND COMPENSATORY TIME
CNA - 21 - 2018-2021
under the terms of this MOU. The specific provisions of this accumulation are set forth
in Section 12.5 – Accrual of Holiday Time of this MOU.
Regular overtime for twenty-four (24) hour institutional employees may be accrued as
compensatory time in accordance with Section 7.2 of this MOU.
7.2 Compensatory Time. The following provisions shall apply:
A. Employees may periodically elect to accrue compensato ry time off in lieu of
overtime pay and call-back pay.
1.Eligible employees who elect to receive compensatory time off in lieu of
overtime pay must notify their Department Head or designee of their
intention to accrue compensatory time off or to receive overtime pay at
least thirty (30) days in advance of the change.
2.Eligible employees who elect to receive compensatory time off for call-
back must agree to do so for a full fiscal year (July 1 through June 30).
The employee must notify their department payro ll staff in writing of any
change in the election by May 31 of each year. Employees who become
eligible (i.e., newly hired employees, employees promoting, demoting,
etc.) for call-back compensatory time after May 31 of each year will be
paid for authorized time until the next notification period. For the 2016/17
partial fiscal year, election must be made by August 31 and may begin
September 1, 2016. Health Services Administration will alert employees of
the new compensatory time election procedures.
B. The names of those employees electing to accrue compensatory time off in lieu
of overtime pay or call-back pay shall be placed on lists maintained by the
Department. Employees who become eligible (i.e., newly hired employees,
employees promoting, demoting, etc.) for compensatory time off in accordance
with these guidelines, must elect to accrue compensatory time or they will be
paid for authorized overtime hours worked.
C. Compensatory time off shall be accrued at the rate of one and one -half (1-1/2)
times the actual authorized overtime hours worked or call-back time earned by
the employee. Compensatory time off may also be accrued for “plus one (1)
hour” earned described in Sections 8.1 and 8.2.
D. Employees may not accrue a compensatory time- off balance that exceeds one
hundred twenty (120) hours (i.e., eighty [80] hours at time and one -half [1-1/2]).
Once the maximum balance has been attained, authorized overtime hours and
call-back time will be paid at the overtime and call-back rates. If the employee's
balance falls below one hundred twenty (120) hours, the employee shall again
accrue compensatory time off for authorized overtime hours worked or call -back
time earned until the employee's balance again reaches one hundred twenty
(120) hours.
E. Accrued compensatory time off shall be carried over for use in the next fiscal
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 66
SECTION 7 – OVERTIME AND COMPENSATORY TIME
CNA - 22 - 2018-2021
year; however, as provided in D. above, accrued compensatory time -off balances
may not exceed one hundred twenty (120) hours.
F. The use of accrued compensatory time off shall be by mu tual agreement
between the Department Head or designee and the employee. In cases of
emergency, employees will be allowed to use compensatory time with the
approval of their supervisor to supplement any unpaid hours. Such approval shall
not be denied unless employee has received prior notice.
Compensatory time off shall not be taken when the employee should be replaced
by another employee who would be eligible to receive, for time worked, either
overtime payment or compensatory time accruals as provided fo r in this Section.
This provision may be waived at the discretion of the Department Head or
designee.
G. When an employee promotes, demotes or transfers from one classification
eligible for compensatory time off to another classification eligible for
compensatory time off within the same department, the employee's accrued
compensatory time-off balance will be carried forward with the employee.
H. Compensatory time accrual balances will be paid off when an employee moves
from one department to another through promotion, demotion or transfer. Said
payoff will be made in accordance with the provisions and salary of the class
from which the employee is promoting, demoting or transferring as set forth in I.
below.
I. Since employees accrue compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half
(1-1/2) hours for each hour of authorized overtime worked or call-back time
earned, accrued compensatory time balances will be paid off at the straight time
rate (two-thirds [2/3] of the overtime rate) for the employee's current salary
whenever:
1.the employee changes status and is no longer eligible for compensatory
time off;
2.the employee promotes, demotes or transfers to another department;
3.the employee separates from County service;
4.the employee retires.
J. The Office of the County Auditor-Controller will establish time-keeping
procedures to administer this Section.
7.3 Continuous Shifts. At the County's request, if an employee works two (2)
continuous shifts (normally sixteen [16] continuous hours) which is outside the
employee's regular work schedule and the first eight (8) hours fall on one day and the
second eight (8) hours fall on the following day, the employee shall be paid a differential
of one-half (1/2) the employee's base salary rate in addition to the employee's base
salary rate for the second eight (8) hours. Additionally, such employees shall be
provided a meal in the hospital cafeteria at no cost to the employee.

rate of pay and not on the employee’s overtime rate of pay. Overtime is earned and
credited in one minute increments. No other provisions in this Section 7 apply to
employees in per diem classifications, except Section 7.3 Continuous Shifts. The
County will pay overtime in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) when
applicable.
SECTION 8 – CALL-BACK TIME
8.1 Call-Back Pay. Any employee who is called back to duty shall be paid at the
appropriate rate for the actual time worked plus one (1) hour. Such employee called
back shall be paid a minimum of two (2) hours at the appropriate rate of each call back.

classifications.
SECTION 11 – SENIORITY, WORKFORCE REDUCTION, LAYOFF AND
REASSIGNMENT
11.1 Workforce Reduction. In the event that funding reductions or shortfalls in
funding occur in a department or are expected, which may result in layoffs, the
department will notify the Union and take the following actions:
A. Identify the classification(s) in which position reductions may be required due to
funding reductions or shortfalls.
B. Advise employees in those classifications that position reductions may occur in
their classifications.
C. Accept voluntary leaves of absence from employees in those classifications

REASSIGNMENT
CNA - 27 - 2018-2021
in a representation unit, the Chief of Labor Relations shall notify the Union of the
possibility of such layoffs and shall meet and confer with the Union regarding the
implementation of the action.
11.2 Separation through Layoff.
A. Grounds for Layoff . Any employee(s) having permanent status in position(s) in
the merit service may be laid off when the position is no longer necessary, or for
reasons of economy, lack of work, lack of funds or for such other reason(s) as
the Board of Supervisors deems sufficient for abolishing the position(s).
B. Order of Layoff. The order of layoff in a department shall be based on inverse
seniority in the class of positions, the employee in that department with least
seniority being laid off first and so on.
C. Layoff by Displacement.
1.In the Same Class. A laid off permanent full-time employee may displace
an employee in the department having less seniority in the same class
who occupies a permanent-intermittent or permanent part-time position,
the least senior employee being displaced first.
2.In the Same Level or Lower Class. A laid off or displaced employee who
had achieved permanent status in a class at the same or lower salary
level as determined by the salary schedule in effect at the time of layoff
may displace within the department and in the class of an employee
having less seniority, the least senior employee being displaced first, and
so on with senior displaced employees displacing junior employees.
D. Particular Rules on Displacing.
1.Permanent-intermittent and permanent part-time employees may displace
only employees holding permanent positions of the same type
respectively.
2.A permanent full-time employee may displace any intermittent or part -time

or lower salary level has less seniority than the displacing employees.
3.Former permanent full-time employees who have voluntarily become
permanent part-time employees for the purpose of reducing the impact of
a proposed layoff with the written approval of the Director of Human
Resources or designee retain their permanent full-time employee seniority
rights for layoff purposes only and may in a later layoff displace a full-time
employee with less seniority as provided in these rules.

SECTION 11 – SENIORITY, WORKFORCE REDUCTION, LAYOFF AND
REASSIGNMENT
CNA - 28 - 2018-2021
E. Seniority. An employee's seniority within a class for layoff and displacement
purposes shall be determined by adding the employee's length of service in the
particular class in question to the employee's length of service in other classes at
the same or higher salary levels as determined by the salary schedule in effect at
the time of layoff. Employees reallocated or transferred witho ut examination from
one class to another class having a salary within five percent (5%) of the former
class, shall carry the seniority accrued in the former class into the new class.
Employees reallocated to a new deep class upon its initiation or otherwi se
reallocated to a deep class because the duties of the position occupied are
appropriately described in the deep class shall carry into the deep class the
seniority accrued or carried forward in the former class and seniority accrued in
other classes which have been included in the deep class. Service for layoff and
displacement purposes includes only the employee's last continuous permanent
County employment. Periods of separation may not be bridged to extend such
service unless the separation is a result of layoff in which case bridging will be
authorized if the employee is reemployed in a permanent position within the
period of layoff eligibility. Approved leaves of absence as provided for in these
rules and regulations shall not constitute a period of separation. In the event of
ties in seniority rights in the particular class in question, such ties shall be broken
by length of last continuous permanent County employment. If there remain ties
in seniority rights, such ties shall be broken by counti ng total time in the
department in permanent employment. Any remaining ties shall be broken by
random selection among the employees involved.
F. Eligibility for Layoff List. Whenever any person who has permanent status is laid
off, has been displaced, has been demoted by displacement or has voluntarily
demoted in lieu of layoff or displacement, or has transferred in lieu of layoff or
displacement, the person's name shall be placed on the layoff list for the class of
positions from which that person has been removed.
G. Order of Names on Layoff. First, layoff lists shall contain the names of persons
laid off, displaced, or demoted as a result of a layoff or displacement, or who
have voluntarily demoted or transferred in lieu of layoff or displacement, or who
have transferred in lieu of layoff or displacement. Names shall be listed in order
of layoff seniority in the class from which laid off, displaced, demoted or
transferred on the date of layoff, the most senior person listed first. In case of
ties in seniority, the seniority rules shall apply except that where there is a class
seniority tie between persons laid off from different departments, the tie(s) shall
be broken by length of last continuous permanent County employment with
remaining ties broken by random selection among the employees involved.
H. Duration of Layoff and Reemployment Rights. The name of any person granted
reemployment privileges shall continue on the appropriate list for a period of two
(2) years. Persons placed on layoff lists shall continue on the appropriate list for
a period of four (4) years.

Team (TET) Employment Pool which will include the names of all laid-off County
employees. Special employment lists for job classes may be established from the pool.
Persons placed on a special employment list must meet the minimum qualifications for
the class. An appointment from such a list will not affect the individual's status on a
layoff list(s).
11.5 Reassignment of Laid Off Employees. Employees who displaced within the
same classification from full-time to part-time or intermittent status in a layoff, or who

position of another status than that from which they were laid off upon referral from the
layoff list, may request reassignment back to their pre-layoff status (full time or part time
or increased hours). The request must be in writing in accord with each department's
reassignment bid or selection process. Employees will be advised of the rea ssignment
procedure to be followed to obtain reassignment back to their former status at the time
of the workforce reduction. The most senior laid off employee in this status who
requests such a reassignment will be selected for the vacancy; except when a more
senior laid off individual remains on the layoff list and has not been appointed back to
the class from which laid off, a referral from the layoff list will be made to fill the
vacancy.

14.5 Disability.
A. An employee physically or mentally incapacitated for the performance of duty is
subject to dismissal, suspension or demotion, subject to the County Employees
Retirement Law of 1937. An appointing authority after giving n otice may place
an employee on leave if the appointing authority has filed an application for
disability retirement for the employee, or whom the appointing authority believes
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 86
SECTION 14 – SICK LEAVE
CNA - 42 - 2018-2021
to be temporarily or permanently physically or mentally incapacitated for the
performance of the employee's duties.
B. An appointing authority who has reasonable cause to believe that there are
physical or mental health conditions present in an employee which endanger the
health or safety of the employee, other employees, or the pub lic, or which impair
the employee's performance of duty, may order the employee to undergo, at
County expense and on the employee's paid time, a physical, medical
examination by a licensed physician and/or a psychiatric examination by a
licensed physician or psychologist, and receive a report of the findings on such
examination. If the examining physician or psychologist recommends that
treatment for physical or mental health problems, including leave, are in the best
interests of the employee or the County in relation to the employee overcoming
any disability and/or performing his or her duties, the appointing authority may
direct the employee to take such leave and/or undergo such treatment.
C. Leave due to temporary or permanent disability shall be without prejudice to the
employee's right to use sick leave, vacation, or any other benefit to which the
employee is entitled other than regular salary. The Director of Human Resources
may order lost pay restored for good cause and subject to the employee's duty to
mitigate damages.
D. Before an employee returns to work from any absence for illness or injury, other
leave of absence or disability leave exceeding two (2) weeks in duration, the
appointing authority may order the employee to undergo, at County expense, a
physical, medical, and/or psychiatric examination by a licensed physician, and
may consider a report of the findings on such examination. If the report shows
that such employee is physically or mentally incapacitated for the performance of
duty, the appointing authority may take such action as deemed necessary in
accordance with appropriate provisions of this MOU.
14.6 Workers' Compensation and Continuing Pay. A permanent non-safety
employee shall continue to receive the appropriate percent o f regular monthly salary for
all accepted claims filed before January 1, 2000. For all accepted claims filed with the
County on or after January 1, 2000, the percentage of pay for employees entitled to
Workers’ Compensation shall be eighty-six percent (86%), except as provided below.
Employees injured on or after the implementation date of this provision for the majority
of County employees shall receive eighty percent (80%) for twelve (12) consecutive
months from the date of injury. Employees injured af ter twelve (12) months from the
initial implementation date shall receive seventy-five percent (75%) for twelve (12)
consecutive months from the date of injury. Employees injured after twenty-four (24)
months from the initial implementation date shall receive seventy percent (70%) for
twelve (12) consecutive months from date of injury. If Workers' Compensation becomes
taxable, the County agrees to restore the current benefit level (one hundred percent
[100%] of monthly salary) and the parties shall meet and confer with respect to funding
the increased cost.
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 87
SECTION 14 – SICK LEAVE
CNA - 43 - 2018-2021
A. Waiting Period. There is a three (3) calendar day waiting period before Workers'
Compensation benefits commence. If the injured worker loses any time on the
day of injury, that day counts as day o ne (1) of the waiting period. If the injured
worker does not lose time on the day of injury, the waiting period will be the first
three (3) calendar days the employee does not work as a result of the injury. The
time the employee is scheduled to work during this waiting period will be charged
to the employee's sick leave and/or vacation accruals. In order to qualify for
Workers' Compensation the employee must be under the care of a physician.
Temporary compensation is payable on the first three (3) days of disability when
the injury necessitates hospitalization, or when the disability exceeds fourteen
(14) days.
B. Continuing Pay. A permanent employee shall receive the appropriate
percentage as outlined above of regular monthly salary during any period of
compensable temporary disability not to exceed one year. "Compensable
temporary disability absence" for the purpose of this Section is any absence due
to work-connected disability which qualifies for temporary disability compensation
under Workers' Compensation Law set forth in Division 4 of the California Labor
Code. When any disability becomes medically permanent and stationary, the
salary provided by this Section shall terminate. No charge shall be made against
sick leave or vacation for these salary payments. Sick leave and vacation rights
shall not accrue for those periods during which continuing pay is received.
Employees shall be entitled to a maximum of one (1) year of continuing pay
benefits for any one injury or illness.
Continuing pay begins at the same time that temporary Workers' Compensation
benefits commence and continues until either the member is declared medically
permanent/stationary, or until one (1) year of continuing pay, whichever comes
first, provided the employee remains in an active employed status. Continuing
pay is automatically terminated on the date an employee is separated from
County service by resignation, retirement, layoff, or the employee is no longer
employed by the County. In these instances, employees will b e paid Workers’
Compensation benefits as prescribed by Workers’ Compensation laws. All
continuing pay will be cleared through the Office of the County Administrator,
Risk Management Division.
Whenever an employee who has been injured on the job and has returned to
work is required by an attending physician or Family Nurse Practitioner to leave
work for treatment during working hours, the employee shall be allowed time off
up to three (3) hours for such treatment without loss of pay or benefits, provided
the employee notifies his/her supervisor of the appointment at least three (3)
business office days prior to the appointment. Said visits are to be scheduled
contiguous to either the beginning or end of the scheduled workday whenever
possible. This provision applies only to injuries/illnesses that have been
accepted by the County as work related.

SECTION 14 – SICK LEAVE
CNA - 44 - 2018-2021
C. Applicable Pay Beyond One Year. If an injured employee remains eligible for
temporary disability beyond one (1) year, applicable salary will continue by
integrating sick leave and/or vacation accruals with Workers' Compensation
benefits (vacation charges to be approved by the Department and the employee).
If salary integration is no longer available, Workers' Compensation benefits will
be paid directly to the employee as prescribed by Workers' Compensation laws.
D. Rehabilitation Integration. An injured employee who is eligible for Workers'
Compensation rehabilitation temporary disability benefits and whose disability is
medically permanent and stationary will continue to receive applicable salary by
integrating sick leave and/or vacation accruals with Workers' Compensation
rehabilitation temporary disability benefits until those accruals are exhausted.
Thereafter, the rehabilitation temporary disability benefits will be paid directly to
the employee.
E. Health Insurance. The County contribution to the employee's group insurance
plan continues during the continuing pay period and during integration of sick
leave or vacation with Workers' Compensation benefits.
A. Integration Formula. An employee's sick leave and/or vacation charges shall
be calculated as follows:
C = 8 [1 – (W ÷ S)]
C = Sick leave or vacation charge per day
(in hours)
W = Statutory Workers' Compensation for a month
S = Monthly salary
14.7 Labor-Management Committee. On May 26, 1981, the Board of Supervisors
established a labor-management committee to administer a rehabilitation program for
disabled employees. It is understood that the benefits specified above in this Section
14 shall be coordinated with the rehabilitation program as determined by the labor -
management committee.
14.8 Accrual During Leave Without Pay. No employee who has been granted a
leave without pay or an unpaid military leave shall accrue any sick leave credits dur ing
the time of such leave, nor shall an employee who is absent without pay accrue sick
leave credits during the absence.
14.9 State Disability Insurance (SDI).
A. General Provisions. Contra Costa County participates in the State Disability
Insurance (SDI) program, subject to the rules and procedures established by the
State of California. The County augments the SDI program with its SDI
Integration Program. Changes to the State Disability Insurance program could
affect the County’s SDI Integration Program. Determination of SDI payments and
eligibility to receive payments is at the sole discretion of the State of California.
Employees eligible for SDI benefits are required to apply for SDI benefits and to
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 89
SECTION 14 – SICK LEAVE
CNA - 45 - 2018-2021
have those benefits integrated with the use of thei r sick leave accruals on the
following basis:
“Integration” means that employees are required to use their sick leave accruals
to supplement the difference between the amount of the SDI payment and the
employee's base monthly salary to the extent that the total payment does not
exceed the employee’s base monthly salary. Integration of sick leave with the
SDI benefit is automatic and cannot be waived. Integration applies to all SDI
benefits paid. For employees off work, on disability, and receiving SDI, the
employee’s County Department will make appropriate integration adjustments,
including retroactive adjustments, if necessary. Employees must inform their
Department of a disability in a timely manner in order for the Department to make
appropriate integration adjustments. SDI benefit payments will be sent directly to
the employee by the State of California.
When there are insufficient sick leave accruals available to fully supplement the
difference between the SDI payment and the employee’s base monthl y salary,
accruals other than sick leave may be used to supplement the difference
between the amount of the SDI payment and the employee’s base monthly
salary. These accruals may be used only to the extent that the total payment
does not exceed the employee’s base monthly salary.
B. Procedures. Employees with more than 1.2 hours of sick leave accruals at the
beginning of the disability integration period must integrate their sick leave
accrual usage with their SDI benefit to the maximum extent possible.
When employees have 1.2 hours or less of sick leave accruals at the beginning
of the disability integration period, the Department will automatically use 0.1
hours of sick leave per month for the duration of their SDI benefit.
When the SDI benefit is exhausted, integration terminates. The employee then
may continue to use sick leave without integration and/or other accruals.
When sick leave accruals are totally exhausted, integration with the SDI benefit
terminates.
Employees whose SDI claims are denied must present a copy of their claim
denial to their Department. The Department will then authorize the use of unused
sick leave and/or other accruals as appropriate.
C. Method of Integration. For purposes of integration with the SDI program, all
full-time employees' schedules will be converted to eight (8) hour/five (5) day
weekly work schedules.
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 90
SECTION 15 – CATASTROPHIC LEAVE BANK
CNA - 46 - 2018-2021
The formula for full-time employees' sick leave integration charges is as follows:
L = [(S - D) ÷ S] x 8
S = Employee Base Monthly Salary
H = Estimated Highest Quarter (3-mos) Earnings
[H = S x 3]
W = Weekly SDI Benefit from state of California SDI Weekly Benefit Table
C = Calendar Days in Each Month
D = Estimated Monthly SDI Benefit [D = (W ÷ 7)
x C]
L = Sick Leave Hours Charged per Day
Permanent part-time employees, permanent-intermittent employees, and full-time
employees who are working a light/limited duty reduced schedule, will have their
sick leave integration adjusted accordingly.
D. Definition. "Base Monthly Salary", for purposes of the SDI integration program,
is defined as the salary amount of the employee's step on the salary schedule of
the employee's classification at the time of integration.
14.10 Confidentiality of Information/Records. Any use of employee medical records
will be governed by the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (Civil Code Sections
56 to 56.26).
SECTION 15 – CATASTROPHIC LEAVE BANK
15.1 Program Design. The Human Resources Department will operate a
Catastrophic Leave Bank which is designed to assist a ny County employee who has
exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury, or condition
of the employee or family member. The program establishes and maintains a
Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to contribute m ay authorize that a
portion of his/her accrued vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or
floating holiday be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic
Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligib le employee or to
the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic Leave Bank may be transferred
to a requesting employee's sick leave account so that employee may remain in paid
status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the fi nancial impact of the
illness, injury, or condition.
Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical condition, a long -term major
physical impairment or disability which manifests itself during employment.
15.2 Operation. The plan will be administered under the direction of the Director of
Human Resources. The Human Resources Department will be responsible for
receiving and recording all donations of accruals and for initiating transfer of credits
from the Bank to the recipient's sick leave account. Disbursement of accruals will be
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 91
SECTION 15 – CATASTROPHIC LEAVE BANK
CNA - 47 - 2018-2021
subject to the approval of a six (6) member committee composed of three (3) members
appointed by the County Administrator and three (3) members appointed by the majority
representative employee organizations. The committee shall meet as necessary to
consider all requests for credits and shall make determinations as to the
appropriateness of the request. The committee shall determine the amount of accruals
to be awarded for employees whose donations are non -specific. Consideration of all
requests by the committee will be on an anonymous requestor basis.
Hours transferred from the Catastrophic Leave Bank to a recipient will be in the form of
sick leave accruals and shall be treated as regular sick leave accruals.
To receive credits under this plan, an employee must have permanent status, must
have exhausted all time-off accruals to a level below eight (8) hours total, have applied
for a medical leave of absence and have medical verification of need.
Donations are irrevocable unless the donation to the eligible employee is denied.
Donations may be made in hourly blocks with a minimum donation of not less than four
(4) hours from balances in the vacation, holiday, floating holiday, compensatory time, or
holiday compensatory time accounts. Employees who elect to donate to a specific
individual shall have seventy-five percent (75%) of their donation credited to the
individual and twenty-five percent (25%) credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank.
Time donated will be converted to a dollar value and the dollar value will be converted
back to sick leave accruals at the recipient's base hourly rate when disbursed. Credits
will not be on a straight hour-for-hour basis. All computations will be on a standard
173.33 basis, except that employees on other than a forty (40) hour week will have
hours prorated according to their status. Any recipient will be limited to a total of one
thousand forty (1,040) hours or its equivalent per catastrophic event; each donor will be
limited to one hundred twenty (120) hours per calendar year.
No element of this plan is grievable. All appeals from either a donor or recipient will be
resolved on a final basis by the Director of Human Resources.
No employee will have any entitlement to catastrophic leave benefits. The award of
catastrophic leave will be at the sole discretion of the committee, both as to amounts of
benefits awarded and as to persons awarded benefits. Benefits may be denied, or
awarded for less than six (6) months. The committee will be entitled to limit benefits in
accordance with available contributions and to choose from among eligible applicants,
on an anonymous basis, those who will receive benefits , except for hours donated to a
specific employee. In the event a donation is made to a specific employee and the
committee determines the employee does not meet the Catastrophic Leave Bank
criteria, the donating employee may authorize the hours to be donated to the Bank or
returned to the donor’s account. The donating employee will have fourteen (14)
calendar days from notification to submit his/her decision regarding the status of their
donation, or the hours will be irrevocably transferred to the Catastrophic Leave Bank.
Any unused hours transferred to a recipient w ill be returned to the Catastrophic Leave
Bank.

Program allows employees to set aside a pre -determined amount of money from their
paycheck, not to exceed the maximum amount authorized by federal law, per calendar
year, before taxes, for health care expenses not reimbursed by any other health
benefits plan with before tax dollars. HCSA dollars can be expended on any eligible

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the 2018 Other Post Employment Benefits Valuation Report as of January 1, 2018 and GASB
74/75 disclosures as of June 30, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The attached 2018 Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Valuation Report is required per Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 74 and 75 to be completed, by a County the size of Contra
Costa, every two years. The report presents a calculation of liability and has no specific fiscal impact on its
own. The County’s actions to reduce the liability have had a significant positive impact on the County’s
overall fiscal stability and ability to deliver services. As of June 30, 2018, the County’s fiduciary net
position as a percentage of total other post employment benefit liability was 28.9%. The total liability for
benefits was $932.2 million, and the actuarial value of assets was $269.7 million, resulting in a net OPEB
liability of $662.5 million.
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, due to growing concern over the potential magnitude of government employer obligations for
post-employment benefits, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board enacted Statement 45 (GASB
45). The main reason for the Statement was to establish uniform accrual accounting and reporting of these

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

governmental liabilities much like under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules that
already applied to the private sector for OPEBs (and GASB 25 and 27 statements that already applied to
governmental pension liabilities). Accrual accounting was needed to report the cost of providing
government services over the working lifetime of employees providing the services rather than just the
"pay-as-you-go" (paygo) cost that was not realized until after those employees retired.
Pursuant to GASB 45 requirements, Contra Costa County ordered its initial actuarial report in 2006. The
2006 report valued the County’s unfunded liability for retiree medical costs at $2.6 billion based upon a
cash discount rate. This outstanding liability, if fully amortized over the following 30 years, would have
necessitated an Annual Required Contribution (ARC) of $216 million. At that point in time, $216
million would have been six times the amount that the County was paying toward retiree health care
costs on a paygo basis.
In June, 2007, the County established a funding target of 100% of the potential liability for the retiree
population. At that time, retirees accounted for approximately 40% of the liability population. That
figure is now 43% and expected to continue to grow. Partial pre-funding began in 2008 with an annual
County allocation of $20 million. Although the County has made great strides towards reducing and
funding the liability, the liability is still far from funded at 28.9%. Pursuant to County Ordinance No.
2014-04, the annual resources of $20 million will be increased by $47 million to $67 million in FY
2022/23 when the County retires its current Pension Obligation Bond.
As is described in the previous reports and in the table below, the County has taken significant actions to
address and to reduce its OPEB liability since the initial report of 2006. Interim valuation results have
been presented to the Board of Supervisors, pursuant to California Government Code 7507, since the
2008 report. For comparison purposes, the table below compares bi-annual GASB 45 valuation results at
fiscal year-end (FYE).
In June 2015, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) released new accounting
standards for public sector postretirement benefit programs and the employers that sponsor them.
GASB Statements 74 and 75 overhaul the standards for accounting and financial reporting for
postemployment benefits other than pensions (OPEB). They replace the current statements, GASB 43
and 45 and are intended to improve the decision-usefulness of information in employer and
governmental nonemployer contributing entity financial reports and enhance its value for assess
accountability and interperiod equity by requiring recognition of the entire OPEB liability in the
county’s financial statements and a more comprehensive measure of OPEB expense. The new GASB
statements require a liability for OPEB obligations, known as the net OPEB liability, to be recognized
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 198
on the balance sheet of the plan and the participating employers. In addition, an OPEB expense is
recognized in the income statement of the participating employers
As of June 30, 2018, the County’s position is as follows:
Total OPEB Liability $932,187,000
Fiduciary Net Position 269,670,000
Net OPEB Liability 662,517,000
Active 9,041
Retirees and Survivors 6,735
Total Counts 15,776
Discount Rate 6.15%
Summary
Over the last ten years, the County has reduced its OPEB liability by 74%. Although the County’s
annual trust deposit of $20 million combined with the annual paygo cost shows great progress, it does
not meet the GASB definition of paying the total Annual Required Contribution for pre-funding ($89.2
million). Additionally, a 28.9% funded level is still far from the targeted level of 43%. The Board of
Supervisors, through the County Administrator's Office will continue to work towards a financial
balance between the provision of necessary services to the public and provision of competitive health
care benefits for employees and retirees. These efforts will not only help to ensure the County’s overall
fiscal stability and ability to deliver services, but will also increase the likelihood that health care
benefits will be available to our employees and retirees in the future.
None of these reductions could have been achieved without the support and cooperation of our
employees. Continued negotiations toward Countywide health care cost containment strategies and the
redirection of designated future resources remain key to reducing the OPEB liability. The Board of
Supervisors continues to make significant progress toward a solution for one of the biggest fiscal
challenges the County has faced to date.
The results contained in this report are our best estimate; however, variation from these or any other
estimates of future retiree medical costs is possible. Actual future costs may vary from the estimates in
this report. Detailed information on the Board’s actions, including all of the County’s OPEB reports, is
available on the County’s web-site at www.cccounty.us/1318/Other-Post-Employment-Benefits .
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will be out of compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements 74
and 75.

Contra Costa County Other Post Employment Benefits Plan
Actuarial Valuation as of January 1, 2018 and GASB 74 / 75 Disclosures as of June 30, 2018
At the request of the Contra Costa County, we have prepared an actuarial valuation for the County’s
Other Post Employment Benefits Plan as of January 1, 2018, and GASB 74 / 75 disclosures for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2018, to comply with Statements No. 74 and 75 of the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB).
In preparing this report, we relied, without audit, on information supplied by the Contra Costa County’s
staff. This information includes but is not limited to employee census data, financial information and plan
provisions. While Milliman has not audited the financial and census data, they have been reviewed for
reasonableness and are, in our opinion, sufficient and reliable for the purposes of our calculations. If
any of this information as summarized in this report is inaccurate or incomplete, the results shown could
be materially affected and this report may need to be revised.
All costs, liabilities, rates of interest, and other factors for the County have been determined on the
basis of actuarial assumptions and methods which are individually reasonable (taking into account the
experience of the County and reasonable expectations); and which, in combination, offer our best
estimate of anticipated experience affecting the County. Further, in our opinion, each actuarial
assumption used is reasonably related to the experience of the Plan and to reasonable expectations
which, in combination, represent our best estimate of anticipated experience for the County.
This valuation report is only an estimate of the Plan’s financial condition as of a single date. It can
neither predict the Plan’s future condition nor guarantee future financial soundness. Actuarial
valuations do not affect the ultimate cost of Plan benefits, only the timing of County’s contributions.
While the valuation is based on an array of individually reasonable assumptions, other assumption
sets may also be reasonable and valuation results based on those assumptions would be different.
No one set of assumptions is uniquely correct. Determining results using alternative assumptions is
outside the scope of our engagement.
Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in
this report due to such factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the
economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions;
increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these
measurements (such as the end of an amortization period); and changes in plan provisions or
applicable law. Due to the limited scope of our assignment, we did not perform an analysis of the
potential range of future measurements. The County has the final decision regarding the
appropriateness of the assumptions and actuarial cost methods.

Introduction
Milliman, Inc. (Milliman) has been retained by Contra Costa County (the “County”) to provide an
actuarial valuation of Other Post Employment Benefit Liabilities as of January 1, 2018, and disclosures
required by GASB Statements No. 74 and 75 for the Contra Costa County OPEB Plan for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2018.
GASB 74 applies to financial reporting for public OPEB plans. Even if the plan does not issue standalone
financial statements, but rather is considered a trust fund of a government, it is subject to GASB 74.
GASB 75 governs the specifics of accounting for public OPEB plan obligations for employers. GASB 75
requires a liability for OPEB obligations, known as the Net OPEB Liability, to be recognized on the
balance sheets of employers. Changes in the Net OPEB Liability will be immediately recognized as
OPEB Expense on the income statement or reported as deferred inflows/outflows of resources
depending on the nature of the change.
The results contained in this report represent our best estimates based on the assumptions used in
the valuation. However, variation from these or any other estimates of future benefits is not only
possible but probable. To the extent that actual experience differs from the anticipated experience,
actual plan costs will vary as well.
Background
Currently, employees who retire directly from the County may receive certain retiree health benefits if
they meet certain eligibility requirements. The County may contribute an amount toward the cost of
retiree health benefits for some retirees consistent with the bargaining agreement between the County
and various bargaining units. Appendix A provides a detailed summary of benefits.
Key Results
The following table summarizes key results. Exhibits 1 – 7 contain the information needed for the
preparation of accounting disclosures under GASB 74 and 75.

Total $ (45,206,000)
Exhibit 3 contains a reconciliation of the TOL from June 30, 2017, to June 30, 2018.
Rationale for Significant Assumptions
With any valuation of future benefits, assumptions of anticipated future events are required. If actual
events differ from the assumptions made, the actual cost of the plan will vary as well. A complete list
and description of the actuarial assumptions is presented in Appendix B.
Investment Rate of Return. We have assumed an investment rate of return of 6.15%, net of investment
expenses. This is based on the investment policy set by the County for its OPEB trust where the
County invests its assets in the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) Trust to fund its OPEB
liabilities.
Discount Rate. Under GASB 74 & 75, the discount rate should be the single rate that reflects the long-
term rate of return on OPEB plan investments that are expected to be used to finance the payment of
benefits. To the extent that OPEB plan assets are insufficient to finance all OPEB benefits, the discount
rate should be based on 20-year tax-exempt AA or higher Municipal Bonds as of the Measurement
Date. The County’s OPEB Irrevocable Trust assets are invested in the Public Agency Retirement
Services’ Highmark Diversified Portfolio. Based on the Trust’s asset allocation, we have assumed an
expected average annual rate of return of 6.15%. See Appendix B for additional detail.
The County’s current funding policy is to fund the pay-as-you-go costs for retirees, plus $20 million
into the OPEB Trust each year until year 2022. Beginning in 2022 the County will continue to fund the
pay-as-you-go costs for retirees, plus $73 million until the OPEB fund’s Fiduciary Net Position as a %

of Total OPEB Liability is 60%. Thereafter, the County will contribute an amount each year to maintain
the 60% funded status.
GASB 74 and 75 require that a projection regarding future solvency of the OPEB plan be run each
year. The projections assume that plan assets earn the assumed rate of return and there are no future
changes in the plan provisions or actuarial methods and assumptions. We have run a solvency
projection as prescribed in GASB 74 and 75 based on the County’s current funding policy, and the
Fiduciary Net Position is always projected to be sufficient to cover benefit payments and administrative
expenses. Therefore, we have used 6.15% as the discount rate.
Health Cost Trend. We have assumed overall health costs of the medical benefits will increase
according to the health cost inflation trend derived by using the “Getzen” model developed by the
Society of Actuaries. A margin to reflect the impact of excise tax in future years is reflected in the
assumed trend.
Demographic Rates. The assumptions for turnover, retirement, and mortality used in this valuation are
the same as the assumptions used in the December 31, 2017, pension actuarial report from the Contra
Costa County Employees’ Retirement Association (CCCERA).
A complete summary of the actuarial assumptions is presented in Appendix B.

Exhibit 4. Money Weighted Investment Return
GASB 74 requires the disclosure of the money-weighted rate of return on plan investments. The
money-weighted rate of return considers the changing amounts actually invested during a period and
weights the amount of OPEB Trust investments by the proportion of time they are available to earn a
return during that period. External cash flows are determined on a monthly basis and are assumed to
occur at the beginning of each month. The Net External Cash Flows shown below represent employer
contribution to the Trust. There were no cash outflows from the Trust during fiscal year. The money-
weighted rate of return is calculated net of investment expenses.

Appendix B. Actuarial Cost Method and Assumptions
Actuarial Cost Method
The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligations is the individual Entry Age
Normal Cost Method. Under the principles of this method, the actuarial present value of the projected
benefits of each individual included in the valuation is allocated as a level percentage of expected
salary for each year of employment between entry age (defined as age at hire) and assumed exit.
The portion of this actuarial present value allocated to a valuation year is called the normal cost. The
portion of this actuarial present value not provided for at a valuation date by the sum of (a) the actuarial
value of the assets, and (b) the actuarial present value of future normal costs is called the Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL).
The Actuarial Value of Assets is equal to the market value of assets as of the measurement date. The
actuarial assumptions are summarized below.
Economic Assumptions
Discount Rate (Liabilities) 6.15%
General Inflation 2.75%
We have used a discount rate of 6.15% in this valuation to reflect the County’s current policy of partially
funding its OPEB liabilities. This rate is derived based on the fund’s investment policy, level of partial
funding, and includes a 2.75% long-term inflation assumption. County OPEB Irrevocable Trust assets
are invested in the Public Agency Retirement Services’ Highmark Portfolio. Based on the portfolio’s
target allocation (shown below), the average return of Trust assets over the next 50 years is expected
to be 6.12%.

Retiree Coverage – We have assumed 90% of new retirees hired before the exclusion date stated in
Appendix A will elect medical and dental coverage at retirement. For employees hired after the
exclusion date stated in Appendix A, we assumed 50% will elect to enroll in the health plans without
any County subsidy.
Spouse Coverage – We have assumed 50% of new General retirees and 60% of new Safety retirees
electing coverage will elect spouse medical and dental coverage at retirement.
Spouse Age – Female spouses are assumed to be three years younger than male spouses.
Dependent Coverage – We have assumed 30% of retirees with no spouse coverage will elect
coverage for a dependent child until age 65 and 50% of retirees with spouse coverage will elect
coverage for a dependent child until age 65.
Health Plan Election – We have assumed that new retirees will remain enrolled in the same plan they
were enrolled in as actives. For actives who waived coverage, we have assumed that they will elect
Kaiser plan coverage. For retirees enrolled in either the CalPERS Anthem or Blue Shield plans, we
assumed they will transfer to the United Health Care Medicare Supplement plan upon reaching age
65, as the CalPERS health plan no longer offers Anthem or Blue Shield coverage for Medicare eligible
retirees.
Valuation of Retiree Premium Subsidy Due to Active Health Costs
Currently, the County and California PERS (PEMHCA) health plans charge the same premiums for
retirees who are not yet eligible for Medicare as for active employees. Therefore, the retiree premium
rates are being subsidized by the inclusion of active lives in setting rates. (Premiums calculated only
based on retiree health claims experience would have resulted in higher retiree premiums.) GASB 74/75
requires that the value of this subsidy be recognized as a liability in valuations of OPEB costs.

To account for the fact that per member health costs vary depending on age (higher health costs at older
ages), we calculated equivalent per member per month (PMPM) costs that vary by age based on the
age distribution of covered members, and based on relative cost factors by age. The relative cost factors
were developed from the Milliman Health Cost GuidelinesTM. Based on the carrier premium rates and
relative age cost factors assumptions, we developed age adjusted monthly PMPM health costs for 2018
to be used in valuing the implicit rate subsidy.
The following tables show the age adjusted expected monthly claims cost for a male participant at age
64 for each health plan and relative age factors compared to a male age 64.

experience and no such subsidy exists for this group for medical cost.

BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Public Works Department will construct the Kirker Pass Road Northbound
Truck Climbing Lane Project, which includes a northbound truck climbing lane and paved shoulders for
future Class II bike lanes (“Project”). The Project is intended to improve circulation for motorists and
bicyclists along this stretch of road. The road is frequently used by commuters and has heavy truck
traffic. With sustained grades steeper than 10 percent, trucks are unable to match the speed of other
vehicles on the roadway, causing significant congestion and impacting traffic flow. Project elements will
include roadway widening for the truck climbing lane, paved shoulders for future Class II bike lanes,
relocation of drainage features, retaining wall construction; installation of signage and striping;
construction of two bioretention areas; roadway conforms due to change in grade; and relocation of other
existing roadside features. An open grade asphalt concrete overlay will be placed along the southbound
and northbound lanes within the project limits. Construction is scheduled for 2019.
On October 18, 2016, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved the Project and adopted
the Project-related Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Notice of Determination was filed with the
Contra Costa County Clerk on October 20, 2016.
Since the Project and MND were approved, the Project has changed to include approximately 4,300 feet
of additional open grade asphalt overlay on the northbound and southbound lanes of Kirker Pass Road
between the North Hess Road intersection and approximately 140 feet east of 6141 Kirker Pass Road, in
the Pittsburg area of unincorporated Contra Costa County. The total revised length for placement of the
open grade asphalt overlay is about 10,500 feet. The Project also includes a conform at Hess Road due to
changes in grade of about 300 feet. Public Works Department environmental staff reviewed these
Project changes under the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Transportation/Traffic sections
of the MND to determine if the Project changes resulted in a substantial change to the project that would
require a subsequent environmental impact report or subsequent negative declaration under CEQA
Guidelines section 15162.. Public Works Department environmental staff have determined that the
changes do not result in a substantial change to the Project that would require a subsequent
environmental document. Public Works Department staff also have determined that there are no
substantial changes to the circumstances under with the Project will be constructed, and no new
information, that would require a subsequent environmental document. For these reasons, Public Works
Department staff recommend approving both (1) the additional Project features, and (2) the CEQA
Addendum pertaining to these additional Project features, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section
15164.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Project Changes will not be approved.

PREPARED FOR THE
KIRKER PASS ROAD NORTHBOUND TRUCK CLIMBING LANE PROJECT
COUNTY PROJECT #: 15-04
SCH# 2016082079
Contra Costa County Public Works Department Project # 0662-6R4052
A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Contra Costa County (County) Public Works Department (PWD) proposes to provide
a truck climbing lane along a 1.2-mile section of Kirker Pass Road between Clearbrook
Drive in the City of Concord and the northernmost Hess Road intersection. Kirker Pass
Road is a four-lane principal arterial and route of regional significance between Central
and East Contra Costa County. The roadway connects the City of Concord on the
southwest end, through the Meridian Hills, to the City of Pittsburg on the northeast end.
The purpose of the project is to provide a northbound truck climbing lane and paved
shoulders for future Class II bike lanes. The project is intended to improve circulation
for motorists and bicyclists along this stretch of road. The road is frequently used by
commuters and has heavy truck traffic. With sustained grades steeper than 10 percent,
trucks are unable to match the speed of other vehicles on the roadway, causing
significant congestion and impacting traffic flow. Project elements will include roadway
widening for the truck climbing lane, paved shoulders for future Class II bike lanes,
relocation of drainage features, retaining wall construction; installation of signage and
striping; construction of two bioretention areas; roadway conforms due to change in
grade; and relocation of other existing roadside features. An open grade asphalt
concrete overlay will be placed along the southbound and northbound lanes.
Construction is expected to begin in 2019 and may require two construction seasons.
Standard construction equipment will be used, including but not limited to: excavators,

graders, scrapers, loaders, sweepers/scrubbers, plate compactors, rollers, backhoes,
cranes, drill rigs, and pavers. Construction activities will generally be limited to the
hours between 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with noise-generating activities focused between
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; however, there will be limited night work as necessary.
Disturbed areas will be stabilized following construction to ensure appropriate erosion
and sediment control.
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15071) the County prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
in August 2016 which includes a list of mitigations designed specifically for this project
and it was determined that the project would not cause a significant impact to the
environment. The County Department of Conservation and Development, the Lead
Agency, approved the MND on August 23, 2016. The County Board of Supervisors
approved the project and adopted the MND on October 18, 2016. The Notice of
Determination was filed with the County Clerk and the Office of Planning and Research
on October 20, 2016.
B. CEQA ADDENDUM GUIDELINES
The CEQA stipulates that an Addendum (CEQA Guidelines Section 15164) to a
previously adopted MND may be prepared if only minor technical changes are necessary
and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have occurred:
(a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR
shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial
evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous
MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which require major revisions of previous MND due to the involvement of new
significant effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known
with the exercise of reasonable due diligence at the time the previous MND was adopted shows
any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or
negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the
previous EIR or negative declaration;
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 241
CEQA Addendum – CP# 15-04
September 24, 2018
Page 3 of 15
Page 3 of 15
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the
project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in
the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative.
(b) If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after the
adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if requires
under section (a). Otherwise the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent
negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation.
(c) Once a project has been approved, the lead agency’s role in project approval is completed,
unless further discretionary approval on that project is required. Information appearing after an
approval does not require reopening of that approval. If after the project is approved, any of the
conditioned described in subsection (a) occurs, a subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall
only be prepared by the public agency which grants the next discretionary approval for the
project, if any. In this situation no other responsible agency shall grant an approval for the
project until the subsequent EIR has been certified or subsequent negative declaration adopted.
(d) A subsequent EIR or subsequent negative declaration shall be given the same notice and public
review as required under Section 15087 or Section 15072. A subsequent EIR or negative
declaration shall sate where the previous document is available and can be reviewed.
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(d), the County Board of Supervisors
shall consider this Addendum along with the MND prior to making a decision on the
project. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c) an Addendum does not require
circulation for public review but can be included in or attached to the MND.
C. CHANGES TO THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Information reported in the Project Description of the MND has changed with regards to
the project description to also include approximately 4,300 feet open grade asphalt
overlay on the northbound and southbound lanes of Kirker Pass Road from the North
Hess Road intersection in the Concord area to approximately 140 feet east of the
driveway at 6141 Kirker Pass Road in the Pittsburg area of unincorporated Contra Costa
County. The initial length of the overlay was 1.2 miles and total revised length for
placement of the open grade asphalt overlay is about 10,500 feet. The project also
includes a conform at Hess Road due to changes in grade of about 300 feet (Figure1).
There will be no changes to traffic control.
In addition, construction for the project was scheduled to begin in 2018 and is now
scheduled to begin in 2019 and still may require two construction seasons (April
through October) for a total duration of approximately12 months.

The project changes do not change the environmental impacts and associated
avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures reported in the IS/MND.
These changes were re-evaluated under the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions,
and Transportation/Traffic impact discussion sections of Appendix G of the CEQA
Guidelines to determine if the changes resulted in a substantial change that would
require major revisions of the previous MND as described below.
D. IMPACT ANALYSIS
III. Air Quality
a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air
quality plan?
The air quality plan applicable to the project area is the Contra Costa County Climate
Action Plan, adopted on December 15, 2015 which is consistent with the BAAQMD
Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan (Clean Air Plan) adopted on September 15, 2010
(CCCDCD 2015b, BAAQMD 2010a). Both plans identify strategies to improve air
quality and protect public health through implementation of control measures. The
BAAQMD Clean Air Plan identifies a number of control measures for stationary,
mobile, transportation, land use and local impact, and energy and climate sources.
The County Climate Action Plan identifies implementation measures for energy
efficiency and conservation, renewable energy, land use and transportation, solid
waste, water conservation, and government operations. While most of the measures
are not applicable to the project as the completed project will not create air
pollutant sources beyond what already exists from existing traffic use of the road,
the project will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air
quality plans as the project will improve the performance and efficiency of traffic
movement. The additional truck climbing lane will alleviate congestion caused by
passenger cars being trapped behind slow-moving trucks climbing Kirker Pass Road
and would be expected to reduce congestion-related tailpipe emissions. Therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.
b) Would the project violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an
existing or projected air quality violation?
Both the state and federal governments have established health-based Ambient Air
Quality Standards for six criteria air pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3),
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), lead (Pb), and suspended particulate
matter (PM). These standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the
populace with a reasonable margin of safety. The Bay Area is under nonattainment
status for State 1-hour and 8-hour ozone standards. In addition, the Bay Area was
designated as a nonattainment area for the federal 8-hour ozone standard. The Bay
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 243
CEQA Addendum – CP# 15-04
September 24, 2018
Page 5 of 15
Page 5 of 15
Area is also considered a nonattainment area for PM2.5 at the state level and an
attainment area at the federal level.
To meet these standards the BAAQMD has established project level thresholds for
reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter 2.5
(PM2.5). ROG is formed from combustion of fuels and evaporation of organic
solvents. ROG is an ozone precursor and a prime component of the photo-chemical
reaction that forms ozone. NOx refers to the compounds of NO2, a reddish-brown
gas, and nitric oxide (NO), a colorless, odorless gas, that are formed from fuel
combustion under high temperature or pressure. NOx is a primary component of the
photo-chemical smog reaction. PM2.5 refers to fine suspended particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less, and particulate matter 10
(PM10) refers to coarse particles that are larger than 2.5 microns but smaller than 10
microns.
According to the BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines (20122017), to meet air
quality standards for construction-related and operational-related criteria air
pollutant and air precursor impacts, the project must not:
1. Generate construction emissions of ROG, NOx or PM2.5 greater than 54 pounds
per day or PM10 exhaust emissions greater than 82 pounds per day;
2. Contribute to CO concentrations exceeding the state ambient air quality
standards (for operational-related); or
3. Generate operation emissions of ROG, NOx or PM2.5 of greater than 10 tons per
year or 54 pounds per day or PM10 emissions greater than 15 tons per year or 82
pounds per day.
During construction, short-term degradation of air quality may occur due to the
release of particulate emissions generated by excavation, grading, hauling, and
other activities. Emissions from construction equipment are also anticipated and
would include CO, NOx, ROG, directly-emitted particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10),
and toxic air contaminants (TACs) such as diesel exhaust particulate matter. Site
preparation and project construction would involve grading and paving activities.
Construction-related effects on air quality from the proposed project would be
greatest during the site preparation phase because most engine emissions are
associated with the excavation, handling, and transport of soils on the site. Sources
of fugitive dust would include disturbed soils at the construction site. PM10 emissions
would depend on soil moisture, silt content of soil, wind speed, and the number of
equipment pieces operating on-site. Larger dust particles would settle near the
source, while fine particles would be dispersed over greater distances from the
construction site. Water or other soil stabilizers can be used to control dust,
resulting in emission reductions of 50 percent or more. The BAAQMD has
established standard measures for reducing fugitive dust emissions (PM 10). With the
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 244
CEQA Addendum – CP# 15-04
September 24, 2018
Page 6 of 15
Page 6 of 15
implementation of standard construction measures such as frequent watering (e.g.,
two times per day at a minimum), fugitive dust emissions from construction
activities would not result in adverse air quality impacts.
In addition to dust-related PM10 emissions, construction equipment powered by
gasoline and diesel engines would generate CO, SO2, NOx, VOCs and some soot
particulate (PM2.5 and PM10) in exhaust emissions. These emissions would be
temporary and limited to the immediate area surrounding the construction sites.
Construction emissions for the project were calculated using the Road Construction
Emissions Model v. 7.1.5.1, developed by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality
Management District. Construction will likely occur over two construction seasons,
during the months of April through October, in 2018 2019 and 2019 2020, for a total
duration of approximately 12 months. Construction-related emissions for the project
are shown in Table 1.
As shown in Table 1, average daily construction emissions would not exceed the
BAAQMD’s numeric threshold for ROG, NOx or particulate matter exhaust emissions.
However, in order to reduce fugitive dust emissions to a less-than-significant level,
the following BAAQMD Construction Mitigation Measures (20122017) would be
implemented.
MITIGATION MEASURE AIR-1:
Consistent with the Construction Mitigation Measures required by the BAAQMD, the
following actions shall be incorporated into construction contracts and specifications
for the project:
1. All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded
areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
2. All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be
covered.

3. All visible mud or dirt tracked-out onto adjacent public roads shall be
removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The
use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
4. All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.
5. All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as
soon as possible.
6. Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in
use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the
California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California
Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction
workers at all access points.
7. All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in
accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked
by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition
prior to operation.
8. A publicly visible sign shall be posted with the telephone number and contact
information for the designated on-site construction manager available to
receive and respond to dust complaints. This person shall report all
complaints to Contra Costa County and take immediate corrective action as
soon as practical but not more than 48 hours after the complaint is received.
The BAAQMD’s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with
applicable regulations.
The paving associated with the modified project would be performed consistent with
the schedule identified for the previous project. The air quality analysis conducted
for the previous project assumed a 1.35 month paving duration. Paving activities
associated with the modified project would be conducted within the same timeframe
using the same equipment previously assumed in the air quality analysis. Therefore,
the modified project would not result in new or worsening air quality impacts.
Localized CO Impacts
The BAAQMD has established a screening methodology that provides a conservative
indication of whether implementation of a proposed project would result in
significant CO emissions. According to the BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, a
proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact to localized CO
concentrations if the following screening criteria are met:
1. The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program
established by the county congestion management agency for designated
roads or highways, and the regional transportation plan and local congestion
management agency plans.
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 246
CEQA Addendum – CP# 15-04
September 24, 2018
Page 8 of 15
Page 8 of 15
2. The proposed project would be expected to alleviate congestion on roadways
and not increase traffic volumes. Therefore, the project would not increase
traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 44,000 vehicles per
hour, nor would it increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more
than 24,000 vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is
substantially limited (e.g., tunnel, parking garage, bridge underpass, natural
or urban street canyon, or below-grade roadway).
The proposed project would not conflict with the Contra Costa County
Transportation Authority’s Congestion Management Program for designated roads or
highways, a regional transportation plan, or other agency plans (CCTA 20132017).
Therefore, the proposed project would not result in localized CO concentrations that
exceed state or federal standards. Further, the proposed project would consist of a
dedicated truck climbing lane. The roadway project would help alleviate congestion
caused by passenger cars being trapped behind slow-moving trucks climbing Kirker
Pass Road and would be expected to reduce congestion-related tailpipe emissions.
Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant with mitigation
incorporated.
c) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal
or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
CEQA defines a cumulative impact as two or more individual effects, which when
considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other
environmental impacts. According to the BAAQMD, air pollution is largely a
cumulative impact and no single project is sufficient in size itself to result in
nonattainment of ambient air quality standards. In developing the thresholds of
significance for air pollutants used in the analysis above, the BAAQMD considered
the emission levels for which a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively
considerable. The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines (20122017) indicate that if a
project exceeds the identified significance thresholds, its emissions would be
cumulatively considerable, resulting in significant adverse air quality impacts to the
region’s existing air quality conditions. Therefore, if a project’s daily average or
annual emissions of operational-related criteria air pollutants exceed any applicable
threshold established by the BAAQMD, the proposed project would result in a
cumulatively significant impact. Because the project would likely reduce operational
emissions with improved traffic flow (less congestion resulting from slower moving
trucks), the proposed project would not exceed established thresholds for regional
emissions or make a cumulatively considerable contribution to regional air quality
impacts. The addition of the overlay would not result in cumulative impacts as it is a
road surface treatment. Construction-related impacts from the project and additional

overlay would not result in cumulative impacts as it will be of temporary duration.
Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
d) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Sensitive receptors are defined as residential uses, schools, daycare centers, nursing
homes, and medical centers, and other high-risk receptors. Individuals particularly
vulnerable to diesel particulate matter (DPM) are children, with lung tissue that is
still developing, and the elderly, who may have serious health problems that can be
aggravated by exposure to DPM. Health risks from toxic air contaminants (TACs)
such as construction diesel emissions are a function of both concentration and
duration of exposure. Construction diesel emissions are temporary, affecting an
area for a period of days or perhaps weeks throughout the construction period.
Additionally, construction-related sources are mobile and transient in nature and the
emissions occur with the project site with concentration dispersing rapidly with
distance. Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1 would help to reduce
construction pollutant concentrations.
The closest sensitive receptor in the project vicinity is a residence located
approximately 200 feet east of Kirker Pass Road on Hess Road on the northern end
of the project boundary. Residents could be temporarily exposed to diesel engine
exhaust during the construction period due to the operation of construction
equipment. The BAAQMD CEQA significance threshold for potential effects of DPM
applies to the hypothetical exposure of a person continuously for 70 years. The
duration of the construction period is expected to be a total of 12 months spread
over two construction seasons which is relatively short when compared to the 70-
year risk exposure period. Additionally, the 12 month duration would cover the
entire 1.2 mile length of the project, which includes the additional pavement overlay
in that timeframe, therefore emission concentrations at any one receptor location
would have a much shorter duration. Therefore, due to the short duration of the
construction period and the dispersion of project construction emissions, health risk
impacts associated with project construction would be less than significant.
Additionally, with implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1, which is consistent
with BAAQMD guidelines, health risks from construction emissions of DPM would be
less than significant. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant with
mitigation.
e) Would the project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of
people?
The proposed project would include the addition of a truck climbing lane on Kirker
Pass Road and additional pavement overlay. There may be odors associated with
project construction, but these will be limited and temporary in nature therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions either directly or indirectly,
that may have a significant impact on the environment?
Construction activities, such as site preparation, site grading, on-site heavy-duty
construction vehicles, equipment hauling materials to and from the site, and motor
vehicles transporting the construction crew would produce combustion emissions
from various sources. During construction of the project, GHGs would be emitted
through the operation of construction equipment and from worker and builder
supply vendor vehicles, each of which typically uses fossil-based fuels to operate.
The combustion of fossil-based fuels creates GHGs such as CO2, CH4, and N2O.
Furthermore, CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Exhaust
emissions from on-site construction activities would vary daily as construction
activity levels change.
Using the Road Construction Emissions Model, it is estimated that the project would
generate approximately 876 metric tons of CO2e during construction of the project.
Although the BAAQMD does not have a threshold for construction-related
greenhouse gas emissions, implementation of the BAAQMD’s construction mitigation
measures would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by requiring that all engines are
properly maintained and by reducing the idling times of construction equipment.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1 (see Air Quality section) would ensure
that construction emissions impacts due to the project are less than significant
with mitigation incorporated.
b) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for
the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
As discussed above and in the Air Quality section, implementation of the air pollution
control measures will minimize air quality impacts which are consistent with the
BAAQMD air quality plans on achieving GHG emission reductions. Therefore, project
impacts will still be less than significant.

Transportation/Traffic
a) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing
measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into
account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel
and relevant components of the circulation system, including by not limited to
intersection, streets, highways, and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and
mass transit?
The constructed project, including the additional overlay, will not conflict with
applicable plans, ordinances or policies establishing measures of effectiveness for
the performance of the circulation system since the purpose of the project is to
create a truck lane that will allow for better traffic flow and will not lead to adverse
changes in truck routing.
After reviewing the 2009 2018 Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan,
County Public Works Staff has determined that the project, including the additional
overlay, will not interfere with the County bicycle plan as Kirker Pass Road within the
project segment is not designated as a bicycle facility but designated as a proposed
Class II facility (CCTA 20092018). Once the project is completed the new paved
shoulders could include would accommodate a future class II bike lane in the future.
While the constructed project will improve traffic circulation and will not interfere
with other modes of motorized and non-motorized transportation, construction of
the project will temporarily disrupt traffic circulation as it will result in traffic
congestion and delays from one-way road closures. The additional overlay will not
result in added traffic impacts as the overlay will be conducted in the same
timeframe. Construction activities will be generally limited to the hours between
7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Traffic control will be in place to
accommodate morning and evening commute traffic.
In order to ensure traffic impacts are minimized during construction activities, the
project contract specifications will require the contractor to implement the following
avoidance measures:
AVOIDANCE MEASURE TRA-1:
1. No full lane closures allowed during commute hours; at off-peak hours one lane
of Kirker Pass Road may be temporarily closed during active construction;
reopening of lanes at the end of each working day.
2. Temporary lane closures may be scheduled at times of minimal traffic volumes
such as nights, weekends, and off-commute hours where low traffic volumes are
expected.
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 250
CEQA Addendum – CP# 15-04
September 24, 2018
Page 12 of 15
Page 12 of 15
3. Traffic control including flaggers will be used as warranted to adjust flow as
vehicle volume increases in either direction.
4. Placement of construction zone speed limits.
5. Advance letter notification to local emergency response services to allow them to
plan for alternate routes.
6. Emergency vehicle access at all times.
7. Letter notification to local residents seven calendar days in advance of
construction and road closure start date(s).
8. Publish press release in local newspapers seven days before construction start
date.
9. Placement of portable changeable message signs at various locations in project
vicinity with construction start and road closure dates and period at least seven
calendar days in advance of start dates.
10. Provide accessibility to driveways to properties outside the project area
throughout the project.
In addition, County Design and Construction Division staff will coordinate with the
City of Concord and the Concord Pavilion as early as possible to minimize disruption
to any scheduled events. Project impacts will be less than significant with these
avoidance measures in place.
b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not
limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other
standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated
roads or highways?
The constructed project, including the additional overlay, will not conflict with a
congestion management program as the purpose of the project is to improve the
existing traffic flow along the roadway for trucks and cars. While there will be
additional traffic generated during project construction from construction-related
vehicles, the traffic increases are short-term. Therefore, project impacts will be less
than significant.
c) Would the project result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an
increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety
risks?
The project, including the additional overlay, will not result in a change in air traffic
patterns as there will be no increase in traffic levels or change in location that would
pose a substantial safety risk. Therefore, the project will have no impact.

CEQA Addendum – CP# 15-04
September 24, 2018
Page 13 of 15
Page 13 of 15
d) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp
curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
The constructed project, including the additional overlay, will not substantially
increase hazards due to a design feature as the purpose of the project is to improve
traffic flow along the roadway. During construction the project contract
specifications will require the contractor to implement the avoidance measures
above to minimize potential construction impacts; therefore project impacts will be
less than significant.
e) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access?
The constructed project, including the additional overlay, would not result in
inadequate emergency access. However, project construction could interfere with
emergency access. The project contract specifications will include the measures
listed in Avoidance Measure TRA-1 above to minimize potential impacts. Therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.
f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or
pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such
facilities?
As discussed above, the project, including the additional overlay, will not disrupt any
current or planned public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities planned along Kirker
Pass Road within the project segment. While Kirker Pass Road willis not be
designated as a current bicycle facility, the 2018 Contywide Bicycle and Pedestrian
Plan Update identifies Kirker Pass Road from the City of Concord to the City of
Pittsburg as a Class II bicycle facility. The completed project will provide widened
paved shoulders forthat will accommodate future Class II bike lanes which is
consistent with County transportation policies (Contra Costa County 2005l, CCTA
2009, 20142018). Therefore, the project will have no impact.

FISCAL IMPACT:
This Project is funded by 40% Local Funds, 34% Measure J Funds, 15% Surface Transportation Improvement
Program, 11% State Match.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the Project is to provide a northbound truck climbing lane and paved shoulders for future Class II
bike lanes. The Project is intended to improve circulation for motorists and bicyclists along this stretch of road.
The road is frequently used by commuters and has heavy truck traffic. With sustained grades steeper than 8
percent, trucks are unable to match the speed of other vehicles on the roadway, causing significant congestion and
impacting traffic flow. Project elements will include roadway widening for the truck climbing lane, paved
shoulders for future Class II bike lanes, relocation of drainage features, retaining wall construction; installation of
signage and striping; construction of two bioretention areas; roadway conforms due to change in grade; and
relocation of other existing roadside features. An open grade asphalt concrete overlay will be placed along the
southbound and northbound lanes.
Construction is expected to begin in 2018 and may require two construction seasons. Area residents will be
notified in advanced of start of construction. Standard construction equipment will be used, including but not
limited to: excavators, graders, scrapers, loaders, sweepers/scrubbers, plate compactors, rollers, backhoes, cranes,
drill rigs, and pavers. Construction activities will generally be limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
with noise-generating activities focused between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; however, there will be limited night work
as necessary. Disturbed areas will be stabilized following construction to ensure appropriate erosion and sediment
control.
Real Property transactions, including right-of-way acquisition and temporary construction easements for access
and staging areas and permanent easements for access and maintenance may be necessary in support of this
project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design and construction, and may jeopardize grant funding.

8. Project Description:
The Contra Costa County Public Works Department (PWD) proposes to provide a truck climbing lane
along a 1.2-mile section of Kirker Pass Road between Clearbrook Drive in the City of Concord and the
northernmost Hess Road intersection. Kirker Pass Road is a four-lane principal arterial and route of
regional significance between Central and East Contra Costa County. The roadway connects the City of
Concord on the southwest end, through the Meridian Hills, to the City of Pittsburg on the northeast end.
The purpose of the project is to provide a northbound truck climbing lane and paved shoulders for
future Class II bike lanes. The project is intended to improve circulation for motorists and bicyclists
along this stretch of road. The road is frequently used by commuters and has heavy truck traffic. With
sustained grades steeper than 8 percent, trucks are unable to match the speed of other vehicles on the
roadway, causing significant congestion and impacting traffic flow. Project elements will include
roadway widening for the truck climbing lane, paved shoulders for future Class II bike lanes, relocation

Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including but not
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare that
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
Contra Costa County has two main scenic resources in addition to many localized scenic features: (1) scenic
ridges, hillsides, and rock outcroppings; and (2) the San Francisco Bay/Delta estuary system. Throughout
much of the County, there are significant topographic variations in the landscape. The largest and most
prominent of these are the hills that form the backdrop for much of the developed portions of the area. Views
of these major ridgelines help to reinforce the rural feeling of the County’s rapidly growing communities
(Contra Costa County 2005a).
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
The project area generally consists of steep to moderately steep rolling, hilly topography dominated by
ruderal and annual (non-native) grassland vegetation. The project area’s viewshed is primarily made up
of cattle-grazed pastureland and hillsides. Following construction these will remain the primary views.
The retaining walls will receive an architectural treatment such as exposed rock, textural wave, or
vertical ribbing to provide textural interest to the otherwise plain concrete surface. The walls will be
installed at the edges of existing stands of trees, many of which will be intentionally retained where
possible. Based on the textural finish, retained trees, and remaining views of adjacent hillsides, the
project will not substantially change the overall visual character of the area. Therefore, project impacts
will be less than significant.
b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
The project site is not located within a state scenic highway; however, Kirker Pass Road is designated as
a Scenic Route (Caltrans 2015a; County General Plan 2005l). The project is consistent with the Scenic
Routes Implementation Measure 5-bh (County General Plan 2005l) as the visual qualities and character
of the roadway were considered during plan design and the design will remain consistent with the rural
character of the area, despite the new retaining walls. Further, the purpose of the project is const ructing
a truck lane which will improve traffic flow on Kirker Pass Road, a benefit to the traveling public.
Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.

c) Would the project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
The project will not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings as the project will be limited to areas immediately around the existing roadway and based
on the textural retaining wall finish, retained trees, and persisting views of adjacent hillsides, the project
will not substantially change the overall visual character of the area. Construction activities may
degrade the visual character of this area but this impact will be limited and temporary. Therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in
the area?
The constructed project will not introduce a new source of light or glare. The majority of construction
will take place during the daylight hours; however, some night work will occur and must be approved
by the County Resident Engineer who will be available to address any concerns. Therefore, project
impacts will be less than significant.

Regulatory Background
The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) was established in 1982 in response to a critical
need for assessing the location, quality, and quantity of agricultural lands and conversion of these lands over
time. FMMP is a non-regulatory program that provides a consistent and impartial analysis of agricultural land
use and land use changes throughout California (California Department of Conservation [DOC] 2015).
In order to be shown on FMMP’s Important Farmland Maps as Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide
Importance the land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four
years prior to the Important Farmland Map date and must meet physical and chemical soil criteria as
determined by the Natural Resource Conservation Service. Prime Farmland has the best combination of
physical and chemical features able to sustain long term agricultural production. This land has the soil quality,
growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields. Farmland of Statewide
Importance is similar to Prime Farmland but with minor shortcomings, such as greater slopes or less ability to
store soil moisture. Unique Farmland consists of lesser quality soils used for the production of the state's
leading agricultural crops; this land is usually irrigated, but may include non-irrigated orchards or vineyards as
found in some climatic zones in California (California Department of Conservation [DOC] 2015).
In addition, land may be enrolled under the ‘Prime Agricultural Land’ designation under the state’s
Williamson Act if it meets certain economic or production criteria. The California Land Conservation Act of
1965, commonly known as the Williamson Act, created a program to help counties preserve agricultural land

and open space by offering a tax incentive to property owners. The Williamson Act provides an arrangement
where private landowners voluntarily restrict their land to agricultural and compatible open space uses under a
contract with the County (Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development [CCCDCD]
2015).
a) Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program
of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
County staff completed a Farmland Conversion Impact Rating analysis and received concurrence from
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff that the project location lacks the specific
soil and site characteristics to meet the Prime, Unique, or Farmland of Statewide Importance designation
(USDA NRCS 2015). Therefore, the project will have no impact.
b) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract?
A portion of the project is located adjacent to two Williamson Act contracted parcels (094-130-017 and
118-050-009). The project will not require any rights of way from these two parcels or convert their
existing agriculture zoning but may require temporary and/or permanent easements from parcel 118-050-
009. California Government Code Section 51292 allows for public improvements if no other land outside
the agricultural preserve is reasonably feasible to locate the public improvement with notification and
explanation to the California Department of Conservation (DOC) and local governing body responsible for
administration of the Williamson Act program (DOC 2015a, b). No other non-Williamson Act contracted
lands can be considered as the easement is needed at this specific location adjacent to the road. Further, the
easement will not ultimately convert the agricultural land use as the land will be returned to pre-project
conditions. Nevertheless, CCCPWD will notify DOC and the CCCDCD in accordance with California
Government Code Section 51292. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
c) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or
timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g)?
The project will not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in
Public Resources Code section 12220(g), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526),
or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g) as no
forest land or timberland is present within or adjacent to the project area. Therefore, the project will have
no impact.
d) Would the project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
The project will not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use because
forest land is not present within or adjacent to the project area. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
e) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which due to their location or nature,
could result in conversion of farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest
use?
The project will not result in other changes that would result in conversion of farmland or forest land.
Therefore, project impacts will be no impact.

Regulatory Background
The federal Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to set
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six common criteria air pollutants: particulate
matter, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and lead. Of the six
pollutants, particle pollution and ground-level ozone are the most widespread health threats. The CAA
requires the USEPA to designate areas as meeting (attainment) or not meeting (nonattainment) the
standards (USEPA 2015). In addition, the California Health and Safety Code requires the California Air
Resources Board (CARB), a division of the California EPA, to establish and periodically review area
designation criteria for state standards, which are more stringent than federal standards. The project is
located within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin which is currently designated as nonattainment for
national and state ozone and particulate matter standards (Bay Area Air Quality Management District
[BAAQMD] 2015a).
The CAA also requires states to develop a general plan to attain and maintain the NAAQS and a specific
plan to attain the standards for each nonattainment area. The CARB and the BAAQMD periodically
prepare and update these plans in cooperation with regional agency partners. Th ese plans usually define
control strategies to reduce air pollutant emissions from industrial facilities, commercial processes, motor
vehicles, and other sources which are typically implemented through a combination of regulations
enforced by the BAAQMD, grant and incentive programs, public education and outreach, and partnerships
with other agencies and stakeholders. The current air quality plan is the 2010 Clean Air Plan which
includes the most recent ozone attainment plan and focuses on reduction of ozon e, particulate matter, and
greenhouse gases (GHGs) (BAAQMD 2010a).
In order to address GHGs, which include criteria air pollutants (regional pollutants) and toxic air
contaminants (local pollutants), the BAAQMD adopted CEQA thresholds of significance and updated its
1999 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines in 2010 to assist lead agencies in evaluating air quality impacts to

determine if a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable. Various modeling tools
are used to estimate emissions based on the type of project (i.e., land use developments, linear
transportation and utility projects) (BAAQMD 2010b). However, the BAAQMD’s 2010 adopted
thresholds were challenged in a lawsuit and in March 2012 the Alameda County Superior Court issued a
judgment finding that the BAAQMD had failed to comply with CEQA when it adopted the 2010
thresholds of significance. As such, the 2010 thresholds are not formally in place pending CEQA review
and have been pulled from the 2011 CEQA Guidelines which were updated in 2012 to omit the thresholds
to reflect this ruling (BAAQMD 2012). In the interim, while the BAAQMD has indicated that Lead
Agencies may rely on BAAQMD’s updated CEQA Guidelines for assistance in calculating air pollution
emissions, obtaining information regarding health impacts of air pollutants, and identifying potential
mitigation measures, the BAAQMD suggests that Lead Agencies determine appropriate thresholds for
each project, and consider the 1999 thresholds along with the evidence in record for the project to
determine air quality impacts. The deferral of the 2010 thresholds was based on a procedural action and
not on the scientific merits of the thresholds. For this reason, and in this case, the 2010 thresholds were
used to determine the project impacts. The 1999 and 2012 CEQA Guidelines were also consulted
(BAAQMD 1999, 2010b, 2012).
In addition to criteria air pollutants, naturally-occurring asbestos (NOA), a toxic air contaminant, is also an
air pollutant of concern. It can cause lung cancer and mesothelioma which is dependent upon the type of
asbestos fibers inhaled and exposure levels. NOA is typically associated with serpentinite and ultramafic
rocks formed in high-temperature environments below the surface of the earth when metamorphic
conditions are right for the formation of asbestos. The BAAQMD requires that projects implement the best
available dust control measures where NOA is likely to be found in order to reduce dust emissions as well
as notification to the BAAQMD (BAAQMD 2015b, CARB 2015, Office of Planning and Research [OPR]
2008a). The project area is not located within an area identified as having rocks associated with NOA
(DOC 2000).
a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
The air quality plan applicable to the project area is the Contra Costa County Climate Action Plan, adopted
on December 15, 2015 which is consistent with the BAAQMD Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan (Clean Air
Plan) adopted on September 15, 2010 (CCCDCD 2015b, BAAQMD 2010a). Both plans identify strategies
to improve air quality and protect public health through implementation of control measures. The
BAAQMD Clean Air Plan identifies a number of control measures for stationary, mobile, transportation,
land use and local impact, and energy and climate sources. The County Climate Action Plan identifies
implementation measures for energy efficiency and conservation, renewable energy, land use and
transportation, solid waste, water conservation, and government operations. While most of the measures
are not applicable to the project as the completed project will not create air pollutant sources beyond what
already exists from existing traffic use of the road, the project will not conflict with or obstruct
implementation of the applicable air quality plans as the project will improve the performance and
efficiency of traffic movement. The additional truck climbing lane will alleviate congestion caused by
passenger cars being trapped behind slow-moving trucks climbing Kirker Pass Road and would be
expected to reduce congestion-related tailpipe emissions. Therefore, project impacts will be less than
significant.

Page 11 of 73
b) Would the project violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
Both the state and federal governments have established health-based Ambient Air Quality Standards for
six criteria air pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide
(SO2), lead (Pb), and suspended particulate matter (PM). These standards are designed to protect the health
and welfare of the populace with a reasonable margin of safety. The Bay Area is under nonattainment
status for State 1-hour and 8-hour ozone standards. In addition, the Bay Area was designated as a
nonattainment area for the federal 8-hour ozone standard. The Bay Area is also considered a
nonattainment area for PM2.5 at the state level and an attainment area at the federal level.
To meet these standards the BAAQMD has established project level thresholds for reactive organic gases
(ROG), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5). ROG is formed from combustion of
fuels and evaporation of organic solvents. ROG is an ozone precursor and a prime component of the
photochemical reaction that forms ozone. NOx refers to the compounds of NO2, a reddish-brown gas, and
nitric oxide (NO), a colorless, odorless gas, that are formed from fuel combustion under high temperature
or pressure. NOx is a primary component of the photochemical smog reaction. PM2.5 refers to fine
suspended particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less, and particulate matter
10 (PM10) refers to coarse particles that are larger than 2.5 microns but smaller than 10 microns.
According to the BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines (2012), to meet air quality standards for
operational-related criteria air pollutant and air precursor impacts, the project must not:
1. Generate construction emissions of ROG, NOx or PM2.5 greater than 54 pounds per day or PM10
exhaust emissions greater than 82 pounds per day;
2. Contribute to CO concentrations exceeding the state ambient air quality standards; or
3. Generate operation emissions of ROG, NOx or PM2.5 of greater than 10 tons per year or 54 pounds
per day or PM10 emissions greater than 15 tons per year or 82 pounds per day.
During construction, short-term degradation of air quality may occur due to the release of particulate
emissions generated by excavation, grading, hauling, and other activities. Emissions from construction
equipment are also anticipated and would include CO, NOx, ROG, directly-emitted particulate matter
(PM2.5 and PM10), and toxic air contaminants (TACs) such as diesel exhaust particulate matter. Site
preparation and project construction would involve grading and paving activities. Construction-related
effects on air quality from the proposed project would be greatest during the site preparation phase
because most engine emissions are associated with the excavation, handling, and transport of soils on the
site. Sources of fugitive dust would include disturbed soils at the construction site. PM10 emissions would
depend on soil moisture, silt content of soil, wind speed, and the number of equipment pieces operating
on-site. Larger dust particles would settle near the source, while fine particles would be dispersed over
greater distances from the construction site. Water or other soil stabilizers can be used to control dust,
resulting in emission reductions of 50 percent or more. The BAAQMD has established standard measures
for reducing fugitive dust emissions (PM10). With the implementation of standard construction measures
such as frequent watering (e.g., two times per day at a minimum), fugitive dust emissions from
construction activities would not result in adverse air quality impacts. In addition to dust-related PM10
emissions, construction equipment powered by gasoline and diesel engines would generate CO, SO2, NOx,
VOCs and some soot particulate (PM2.5 and PM10) in exhaust emissions. These emissions would be
temporary and limited to the immediate area surrounding the construction sites. Construction emissions for
the project were calculated using the Road Construction Emissions Model v. 7.1.5.1, developed by the
Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District. Construction will likely occur over two

construction seasons, during the months of April through October, in 2018 and 2019, for a total duration of
approximately 12 months. Construction-related emissions for the project are shown in Table 1.
As shown in Table 1, average daily construction emissions would not exceed the BAAQMD’s numeric
threshold for ROG, NOx or particulate matter exhaust emissions. However, in order to reduce fugitive dust
emissions to a less than significant level, the following BAAQMD Construction Mitigation Measures
(2012) would be implemented.
MITIGATION MEASURE AIR-1:
Consistent with the Construction Mitigation Measures required by the BAAQMD, the following actions
shall be incorporated into construction contracts and specifications for the project:
1. All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soi l piles, graded areas, and unpaved access
roads) shall be watered two times per day.
2. All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered.
3. All visible mud or dirt tracked-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power
vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
4. All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.
5. All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible.
6. Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the
maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title
13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for
construction workers at all access points.
7. All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer’s
specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in
proper condition prior to operation.
8. A publicly visible sign shall be posted with the telephone number and contact information for the
designated on-site construction manager available to receive and respond to dust co mplaints. This
person shall report all complaints to Contra Costa County and take immediate corrective action as soon
as practical but not more than 48 hours after the complaint is received. The BAAQMD’s phone
number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
Localized CO ImpactsThe BAAQMD has established a screening methodology that provides a
conservative indication of whether implementation of a proposed project would result in significant CO
emissions. According to the BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, a proposed project would result
in a less-than-significant impact to localized CO concentrations if the following screening criteria are met:
1. The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program established by the

county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways, and the regional
transportation plan and local congestion management agency plans.
2. The proposed project would be expected to alleviate congestion on roadways and not increase
traffic volumes. Therefore, the project would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections
to more than 44,000 vehicles per hour, nor would it increase traffic volumes at affected
intersections to more than 24,000 vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is
substantially limited (e.g., tunnel, parking garage, bridge underpass, natural or urban street canyon,
or below-grade roadway).
The proposed project would not conflict with the Contra Costa County Transportation Authority’s
Congestion Management Program for designated roads or highways, a regional transportation plan, or
other agency plans (CCTA 2013). Therefore, the proposed project would not result in localized CO
concentrations that exceed state or federal standards. Further, the proposed project would consist of a
dedicated truck climbing lane. The roadway project would help alleviate congestion caused by passenger
cars being trapped behind slow-moving trucks climbing Kirker Pass Road and would be expected to
reduce congestion-related tailpipe emissions. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant with
mitigation incorporated.
c) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is a non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
CEQA defines a cumulative impact as two or more individual effects, which when considered together,
are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts. According to the
BAAQMD, air pollution is largely a cumulative impact and no single project is sufficient in size itself to
result in nonattainment of ambient air quality standards. In developing the thresholds of significance for
air pollutants used in the analysis above, the BAAQMD considered the emission levels for which a
project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable. The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality
Guidelines (2012) indicate that if a project exceeds the identified significance thresholds, it’s emissions
would be cumulatively considerable, resulting in significant adverse air quality impacts to the region’s
existing air quality conditions. Therefore, if a project’s daily average or annual emissions of operational -
related criteria air pollutants exceed any applicable threshold established by the BAAQMD, the proposed
project would result in a cumulatively significant impact. Because the project would likely reduce
operational emissions with improved traffic flow (less congestion resulting from slower moving trucks),
the proposed project would not exceed established thresholds for regional emissions or make a
cumulatively considerable contribution to regional air quality impacts. Therefore, project impacts will be
less than significant.
d) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Sensitive receptors are defined as residential uses, schools, daycare centers, nursing homes, and medical
centers, and other high-risk receptors. Individuals particularly vulnerable to diesel particulate matter
(DPM) are children, with lung tissue that is still developing, and the elderly, who may have serious health
problems that can be aggravated by exposure to DPM. Health risks from toxic air contaminants (TACs)
such as construction diesel emissions are a function of both concentration and duration of exposure.
Construction diesel emissions are temporary, affecting an area for a period of days or perhaps weeks
throughout the construction period. Additionally, construction-related sources are mobile and transient in
nature and the emissions occur with the project site with concentration dispersing rapidly with distance.

Page 14 of 73
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1 would help to reduce construction pollutant concentrations.
The closest sensitive receptor in the project vicinity is a residence located approximately 200 feet east of
Kirker Pass Road on Hess Road on the northern end of the project boundary. Residents could be
temporarily exposed to diesel engine exhaust during the construction period due to the operation of
construction equipment. The BAAQMD CEQA significance threshold for potential effects of DPM
applies to the hypothetical exposure of a person continuously for 70 years. The duration of the
construction period is expected to be a total of 12 months spread over two construction seasons which is
relatively short when compared to the 70-year risk exposure period. Additionally, the 12 month duration
would cover the entire 1.2 mile length of the project, therefore emission concentrations at any one receptor
location would have a much shorter duration. Therefore, due to the short duration of the construction
period and the dispersion of project construction emissions, health risk impacts associated with project
construction would be less than significant. Additionally, with implementation of Mitigation Measure
AIR-1, which is consistent with BAAQMD guidelines, health risks from construction emissions of DPM
would be less than significant. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant with mitigation.
e) Would the project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
The proposed project would include the addition of a truck climbing lane on Kirker Pass Road. There may
be odors associated with project construction, but these will be limited and temporary in nature therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.

East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan
The East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan
(HCP/NCCP or Plan) is intended to provide an effective framework to protect natural resources and special-
status species recovery in eastern Contra Costa County while improving and streamlining the environmental
permitting process for impacts on these species and associated habitats. The HCP/NCCP complies with
Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the federal ESA and California Natural Community Conservation Planning Act of
2003 and as such covered activities are authorized to have incidental take of HCP/NCCP-covered special-
status species subject to mitigation fees for both permanent and temporary impacts to species habitats and
implementation of specific conditions and conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential effects to
species and/or their habitats (Jones & Stokes 2006).
The project is a covered activity under the HCP/NCCP; however, approximately one third of the project’s
alignment falls outside the Plan Service Area (the portion of the project that lies within the Concord City
Limits). The portion of the project that falls within the Plan Service Area will comply with all avoidance
and minimization measures and mitigation fee payment required by the Plan and will receive incidental take
coverage for HCP/NCCP-covered species via the Plan. However, the HCP/NCCP cannot provide take
coverage for HCP/NCCP-covered species outside the Plan area, so for the portion of the project outside the
Plan Service Area, the Public Works Department will obtain a separate Section 2081 Incidental Take Permit
from the CDFW and a separate Section 7 Biological Opinion from the USFWS. Nevertheless, in an effort to
provide for reasonable streamlining, staff from the Public Works Department worked with staff from the
Habitat Conservancy who in turn coordinated with staff from the signatory Wildlife Agencies (USFWS and
CDFW) to provide a framework for consistent, project-wide avoidance and minimization measures based
on the measures in the HCP/NCCP and to allow the project to be mitigated through a mitigation fee
payment to the Habitat Conservancy. The Habitat Conservancy will use the mitigation fees paid for the
project’s impacts to create beneficial mitigation that is consistent with the overall conservation strategy of
the HCP/NCCP. This will allow the project to have a consistent mitigation approach for the full project
alignment but it will ensure that the impacts due to the portion of the project that falls outside the Plan
Service Area do not count against the Plan’s take limits, nor will they count toward the Plan’s overall
conversation requirements (East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy 2016).

Environmental Setting
The project vicinity can be characterized as steep rolling hills, grazing land, riparian woodland, and oak
woodland that support several native tree and shrub species, including valley oak, California walnut,
cottonwood, and arroyo willow. Riparian woodland is the predominant tree canopy found within the project
boundary. The riparian woodland is concentrated in two areas of the project boundary; the western and
eastern limits. Both riparian woodland concentrations follow a ravine that runs along the south side of
Kirker Pass Road; the ravine experiences above ground water flow due to the presence of an unnamed
intermittent stream. Single family residences are located at the western and eastern ends of the project
boundary. Suburban homes are located north of Clearbrook Road on the northern side of Kirker Pass Road.
A salvage yard is present below the intersection of Kirker Pass Road and Hess Road; this yard contains a
mobile home and permanent structures that may house residents. Qualified biologists conducted habitat
assessments to identify habitats within and around the project area to determine if sensitive habitats, natural
communities, and wetlands and waters of the U.S. occur. Habitat assessments were conducted from May
23rd to July 18th 2014 and updated in October of 2015 (LSA Associates 2015a,b).
The majority of the area surrounding the project limits is grazing land. A number of plant and wildlife
species from the region were considered and either determined to have the potential to occur within the
project vicinity or not; based on the level of suitable habitat within or adjacent to the project area. No
special-status fish species have the potential to occur within the project area. The animal and plant species
in Table 1 below were determined to have the potential to occur in the project vicinity.

a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications,
on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans,
policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
The project will result in permanent impacts to approximately 3.828 acres (0.893 acre of these impacts
will occur outside of the Plan Service Area) and temporary impacts to approximately 2.723 acre (0.576
acre of these impacts will occur outside of the Plan Service Area) (East Contra Costa County Habitat
Conservancy 2016a,b). However; the project will not have a substantial adverse effect on any species
identified as a candidate, sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, because project-
related impacts will be avoided, minimized, or appropriately mitigated. Measures to avoid, minimize
and/or mitigate project impacts are described below:
California red-legged frog
Suitable aestivation, foraging, and/or dispersal habitat occurs in the project area. However, because the
project does not contain suitable California red-legged frog breeding habitat, no species-specific
avoidance and minimization measures are required under the HCP/NCCP. Further, early consultation
with CDFW, USFWS and the Conservancy has led to a tentative agreement to allow the Public Works
Department to follow the HCP/NCCP avoidance and minimization measures project-wide, including
the area outside the Plan Service Area. This avoidance strategy has been approved by the Habitat
Conservancy Board as a component of a larger strategy to provide streamlined permitting for this
project even though it falls both outside of and within the Plan Service Area (East Contra Costa
County Habitat Conservancy 2016a,b).
California Tiger Salamander
Suitable aestivation, foraging, and/or dispersal habitat occurs in the project area. However, because the
project does not contain suitable California tiger salamander breeding habitat, no species-specific
avoidance and minimization measures are required under the HCP/NCCP. Further, early consultation
with CDFW, USFWS and the Conservancy has led to a tentative agreement to allow the Public Works
Department to follow the HCP/NCCP avoidance and minimization measures project-wide, including
the area outside the Plan Service Area. This avoidance strategy has been approved by the Habitat
Conservancy Board as a component of a larger strategy to provide streamlined permitting for this
project even though it falls both outside of and within the Plan Service Area (East Contra Costa
County Habitat Conservancy 2016a,b).
Golden eagle
The limited large trees in the vicinity of the project vicinity are unlikely to provide suitable nesting
habitat due to human activity along Kirker Pass Road; however, the possibility of nesting cannot be
completely ruled out. Therefore, the following avoidance measure will be implemented prior to start of
construction.

Page 19 of 73
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-1:
Prior to ground disturbance, a qualified biologist will conduct a preconstruction survey to establish
whether golden eagle nests within 0.5 mile of the proposed project site are occupied. The survey will
be conducted no more than one month in advance of construction. Occupancy of nests will be
determined by observations from the project site and public roads or by observations of golden eagle
activity (e.g., foraging) near the project site. Covered activities will be prohibited within 0.5 mile of
active nests. Nests can be built and active at almost any time of the year, although mating and egg
incubation occurs late January through August, with peak activity in March through July. If site -
specific conditions or the nature of the covered activity (e.g., steep topo graphy, dense vegetation,
limited activities) indicate that a smaller buffer could be appropriate or that a larger buffer should be
implemented, the Habitat Conservancy will coordinate with CDFW/USFWS to determine the
appropriate buffer size. During construction, biological monitoring will focus on ensuring that no
covered activities occur within the buffer zone established around an active nest.
Burrowing owl
Burrowing owl is known to occur in the project vicinity and the habitat assessments identified
appropriately sized ground-squirrel burrows, although no burrowing owl, or signs of burrowing owl
occupation were observed. However, the possibility of occupancy cannot be completely ruled out.
Therefore, the following avoidance measure will be implemented prior to start of construction.
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-2:
Prior to any ground disturbance related to covered activities, a USFWS/CDFW approved biologist will
conduct a preconstruction survey in areas identified in the habitat assessments as having potential
burrowing owl habitat. Surveys will establish the presence or absence of burrowing owl and/or habitat
features and evaluate use by owls in accordance with CDFW survey guidelines (CDFG 1995). On the
parcel where the activity is proposed, the biologist will survey the proposed disturbance footprint and
a 500-foot radius from the perimeter of the proposed footprint to identify burrows and owls. Adjacent
parcels under different land ownership will not be surveyed. Surveys should take place near sunrise or
sunset in accordance with CDFW guidelines. All burrows or burrowing owls will be identified and
mapped. Surveys will take place no more than 30 days prior to construction. During the breeding
season (February 1 – August 31), surveys will document whether burrowing owls are nesting in or
directly adjacent to disturbance areas. During the nonbreeding season (September 1 – January 31),
surveys will document whether burrowing owls are using habitat in or directly adjacent to any
disturbance area. Survey results will be valid only for the season (breeding or nonbreeding) during
which the survey is conducted. If burrowing owls are found during the breeding season (February 1 –
August 31), the project proponent will avoid all nest sites that could be disturbed by project
construction during the remainder of the breeding season or while the nest is occupied by adults or
young. Avoidance will include establishment of a non-disturbance buffer zone. Construction may
occur during the breeding season if a qualified biologist monitors the nest and determines that the
birds have not begun egg-laying and incubation or that the juveniles from the occupied burrows have
fledged. During the nonbreeding season (September 1 – January 31), the project proponent should
avoid the owls and the burrows they are using, if possible. Avoidance will include the establishment of
a buffer zone. If occupied burrows for burrowing owls are not avoided, passive relocation will be
implemented. Owls should be excluded from burrows in the immediate impact zone and within a 160-
foot buffer zone by installing one-way doors in burrow entrances. These doors should be in place for
48 hours prior to excavation. The project area should be monitored daily for 1 week to confirm that the
owl has abandoned the burrow. Whenever possible, burrows should be excavated using hand tools and

refilled to prevent reoccupation (CDFG 1995). Plastic tubing or a similar structure should be inserted
in the tunnels during excavation to maintain an escape route for any owls inside the burrow. The
applicant may conduct burrow management (i.e., regular surveys to find and proactively collapse
unoccupied yet suitable burrows) in advance of and during construction to lower the likelihood of owls
occupying burrows within the project area.
White-tailed kites
Although the large trees near the project site are unlikely to provide suitable nesting habitat due to
human activity along Kirker Pass Road, nesting cannot be completely ruled out as the adjacent
grassland and ruderal habitat provide suitable foraging for this species. Therefore, the following
avoidance measure will be implemented prior to start of construction.
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-3:
To the extent feasible, vegetation removal activities will not occur during the breeding season of
February 15 through August 31. If vegetation removal must occur during the breeding season, all sites
will be surveyed by a qualified biologist to verify the presence or absence of nesting birds.
Preconstruction surveys will be conducted no more than two weeks prior to the start of work from
February 15 through August 31. If the survey indicates the potential presence of nesting birds, a buffer
will be placed around the nest in which no work will be allowed until the young have successfully
fledged or the nest has failed. The size of the nest buffer will be determined by a qualified biologist in
consultation with CDFW/USFWS. In general, buffer sizes of 250 feet for raptors and 50 feet for
passerines should prevent disturbance to birds nesting in a moderately urban environment, but these
buffers may be increased or decreased, as appropriate, depending on the bird species, the level of
disturbance anticipated near the nest and other factors such as topography and vegetation shielding.
Townsend’s big-eared bat
Suitable foraging and movement habitat occurs on the project site, although no evidence of possible
roosting sites was observed and the potential for the species to occur is low.
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-4:
A preconstruction survey is required to determine whether project area trees are occupied or whether
they show signs of recent previous occupation. If the species is observed or if evidence of recent
occupation is established, construction activities must be scheduled to minimize impacts on
Townsend’s big-eared bat. The establishment of maternity or hibernation roosts is highly unlikely due
to a lack of appropriate habitat, however, if such sites are discovered they will be sealed in accordance
with HCP/NCCP requirements as follows: hibernation site with evidence of prior occupation will be
sealed before the hibernation season (November to March), and nursery sites will be sealed before the
nursery season (April to August). If the site is occupied, then the action will occur either prior to or
after the hibernation season and after August 15 for nursery colonies.
Pallid bat
Suitable foraging habitat occurs in the grassland and ruderal habitats in the project vicinity, and the
larger trees on the project site could provide suitable day or night roosting habitat, although no
evidence of such roost occurrence has been observed. Suitable maternity roost habitat is absent from
the project site.

Project No.: 0662-6R4052 County CEQA No.: (CP# 15-04)
Page 21 of 73
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-5:
All potential roost trees within the BSA will be surveyed for the presence of bat roosts by a qualified
biologist no more than two weeks prior to the initiation of tree removal or ground disturbing activities.
If no roosting sites are present, the trees will be removed within two weeks following the survey. If
roosting habitat is present and occupied, then a qualified biologist will determine the species of bats
present. If it is determined that the bats are not a special-statues species and the roost is not being used
as a maternity roost, then the bats may be evicted using methods developed by a biologist experienced
in developing bat mitigation and exclusion plans. If the bats are found to be pallid bats of the roost is
being used as a maternity roost by any bat species, then a biologist experience in bat mitigation and
exclusion plans must prepare an eviction plan detailing the methods of excluding bats and the method
to secure the roost site to prevent its reuse prior to removal. Removal of the roost may only occur after
the eviction plan has been approved by CDFW. Tree removal surrounding roost trees will be
conducted without damaging roost trees. All trees will be cut and left on the ground overnight prior to
onsite chipping or removal of trees to allow bats to escape from the downed trees. No diesel or gas-
powered equipment will be stored or operated directly beneath a roost site and all construction activity
in the vicinity of an active roost will be limited to daylight hours.
San Joaquin kit fox
Surveys identified suitable foraging, movement, and denning habitat in the project area however the
potential for occurrence is low due to the absence of observations in Contra Costa County since 1993.
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-6:
Prior to any ground disturbance related to covered activities, a USFWS/CDFW–approved biologist
will conduct a preconstruction survey in areas identified in the surveys as supporting suitable breeding
or denning habitat for San Joaquin kit fox. The surveys will establish the presence o r absence of San
Joaquin kit foxes and/or suitable dens and evaluate use by kit foxes in accordance with USFWS survey
guidelines (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1999). Preconstruction surveys will be conducted within 30
days of ground disturbance. On the parcel where the activity is proposed, the biologist will survey the
proposed disturbance footprint and a 250-foot radius from the perimeter of the proposed footprint to
identify San Joaquin kit foxes and/or suitable dens. Adjacent parcels under different land ownership
will not be surveyed. The status of all dens will be determined and mapped. Written results of
preconstruction surveys will be submitted to USFWS within 5 working days after survey completion
and before the start of ground disturbance. Concurrence is not required prior to initiation of covered
activities. If San Joaquin kit foxes and/or suitable dens are identified in the survey area, the measures
described below will be implemented. If a San Joaquin kit fox den is discovered in the proposed
development footprint, the den will be monitored for 3 days by a USFWS/CDFW -approved biologist
using a tracking medium or an infrared beam camera to determine if the den is currently being used.
Unoccupied dens should be destroyed immediately to prevent subsequent use. If a natal or pupping
den is found, USFWS and CDFW will be notified immediately. The den will not be destroyed until the
pups and adults have vacated and then only after further consultation with USFWS and CDFW. If kit
fox activity is observed at the den during the initial monitoring period, the den will be monitored for
an additional 5 consecutive days from the time of the first observation to allow any resident animals to
move to another den while den use is actively discouraged. For dens other than natal or pupping dens,
use of the den can be discouraged by partially plugging the entrance with soil such that any resident
animal can easily escape. Once the den is determined to be unoccupied it may be excavated under the
direction of the biologist. Alternatively, if the animal is still present after 5 or more consecutive days
of plugging and monitoring, the den may have to be excavated when, in the judgment of a biologist, it

is temporarily vacant (i.e., during the animal’s normal foraging activities). If dens are identified in the
survey area outside the proposed disturbance footprint, exclusion zones around each den entrance or
cluster of entrances will be demarcated. The configuration of exclusion zones should be circular, with
a radius measured outward from the den entrance(s). No covered activities will occur within the
exclusion zones. Exclusion zone radii for potential dens will be at least 50 feet and will be demarcated
with four to five flagged stakes. Exclusion zone radii for known dens will be at least 100 feet and will
be demarcated with staking and flagging that encircles each den or cluster of dens but does not prevent
access to the den by kit fox.
Diablo helianthella
Diablo helianthella were observed within the study area along the HCP/NCCP covered portion of the
project but south and outside of the project impact footprint. The plants are outside of the project
boundaries; therefore, the project is not expected to have any impact on these individuals. A
subsequent blooming period survey may be conducted in summer 2017 (the year prior to construction)
to rule out the possibility of Diablo helianthella occurring in the impact area. If subsequent blooming
period surveys are not conducted, preconstruction surveys will be conducted prior to project
implementation to verify that the population has not moved into the impact area.
Other Nesting Birds and Raptors
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-7:
Additional passerine and raptor bird species also have the potential to breed and forage within the
project vicinity due to the presence of riparian and oak woodlands, native grassland, and seasonal
wetlands in the project area or vicinity. Most passerine and raptor species are protected by the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and Fish and Game Code. Construction of the project will require
removal of trees and shrubs along Kirker Pass Road. The general avian nesting season is February 1 –
August 31. Therefore, the project may directly or indirectly impact listed and/or MBTA-protected
nesting birds and/or raptors if present. The project is not anticipated to impact these species with
implementation of the following avoidance measures:
1. If tree removal, pruning, or grubbing activities are necessary, such activities will be conducted
between October and February – outside of the breeding season – and preferably during the fall,
prior to the onset of the rainy season, to avoid impacts to nesting migratory birds.
2. If project construction begins during the breeding season (February 1 to August 31),
preconstruction surveys will be conducted within the project footprint and a 250-foot buffer for
raptors and a 50-foot buffer for all other nesting birds, by a qualified biologist no more than two
weeks prior to staging, pruning/grubbing or surface-disturbing activities. If no active nests are
found within the project footprint and a 250-foot buffer, no further measures need to be
implemented.
3. If active nests (i.e. nests in the egg laying, incubating, nestling or fledgling stages) are found
within 250 feet of the project footprint, non-disturbance buffers will be established at a distance
sufficient to minimize disturbance based on the nest location, topography, cover, the nesting pair’s
tolerance to disturbance and the type/duration of potential disturbance. Sufficient buffers are
generally 250 feet for raptors and 50 feet for passerines. No work will occur within the non-
disturbance buffers until the young have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. Buffer
size will be determined in cooperation with the CDFW and the USFWS Migratory Bird Permit
Office. If buffers are established and it is determined that project activities are resulting in nest

disturbance, work will cease immediately and the CDFW and the USFWS Migratory Bird Permit
Office should be contacted for further guidance.
General Avoidance and Minimization
The project has been designed to be consistent with the HCP/NCCP Conservation Measure 1.14
Design Requirements for Covered Roads Outside the Urban Development Area. In compliance with
that measure, the following additional avoidance measures will be implemented for protection of the
biological resources within the project area and vicinity:
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-8:
1. Equipment storage, fueling, and staging areas will be sited on disturbed areas or on ruderal or non-
sensitive, non-native grassland land cover types, when these sites are available to minimize risk of
direct discharge into sensitive land cover types
2. No erodible materials will be deposited into watercourses. Brush, loose soils, or other debris will
not be stockpiled within stream channels or on adjacent banks
3. All no-take species will be avoided
4. Construction activities will comply with the MBTA and will consider seasonal requirements for
birds and migratory non-resident species, including HCP/NCCP covered species
5. Temporary stream diversions, if required, will use sand bags or other approved methods that
minimize in-stream impacts and effects on wildlife
6. Silt fencing or other sediment trapping methods will be installed down-gradient from construction
activities to minimize the transport of sediment off site
7. Barriers will be constructed to keep wildlife out of construction sites, as appropriate
8. On-site monitoring will be conducted throughout the construction period to ensure that disturbance
limits, BMPs and HCP/NCCP restrictions are being implemented properly
9. Active construction areas will be watered regularly to minimize the impact of dust on adjacent
vegetation and wildlife habitats, if warranted
10. Vegetation and other debris will be managed in and near culverts and under and near bridges to
ensure that entryways remain open and visible to wildlife and the passage through the culvert or
under the bridge remains clear.
11. Cut and fill slopes will be revegetated with native, non-invasive non-native, or non-reproductive
(i.e., sterile hybrids) plants suitable for the altered soil conditions.
MITIGATION MEASURE BIO-1: COMPENSATORY MITIGATION (SPECIES/HABITAT)
Compensatory mitigation for impacts to sensitive species and habitat will take the following two
forms:
1. HCP/NCCP Development and Wetland Mitigation Fees:
For impacts within the HCP/NCCP Service Area, the project will mitigate permanent and
temporary impacts by fee payment to the Habitat Conservancy. Mitigation fees are based on
the project’s impact acreages and are calculated based on two fee types (the project-wide
development fee and the wetland mitigation fee). These fees are currently estimated to be
$137,056.47. The fees may adjust as project plans are further refined. In addition, the
HCP/NCCP fees adjust annually (in March). Final project fees based on final project impacts
will be paid at construction contract award.

Project No.: 0662-6R4052 County CEQA No.: (CP# 15-04)
Page 24 of 73
2. Supplemental mitigation funds:
For impacts outside the Plan Service Area, an additional mitigation fee will be paid. The
additional mitigation fee will consist of a base fee (i.e., the fee that would be paid if this
portion of the project fell within the Plan Service Area), plus a “contribution to recovery fee”
to ensure there is funding for an endowment and management in perpetuity for the mitigation.
In addition, a nominal processing fee will be provided to the Habitat Conservancy for
implementation of conservation goals beyond those required by the HCP/NCCP in accordance
with Sections 8.6.2 and 9.3.2 of the HCP/NCCP. Mitigation achieved with this supplemental
funding will consist of additional land acquisition and preservation; habitat enhancement,
restoration, and creation; and species-specific management actions. With payment of these
supplemental mitigation funds, the Public Works Department will transfer the mitigation
obligation to the Conservancy. The Conservancy will track the supplemental mitigation funds
separately from covered projects; however, the conservation performed by the funds would be
subsumed into the Preserve System and the lands managed in perpetuity consistent with the
HCP/NCCP and appropriate Regional Preserve Management Plan. These fees are currently
estimated to be $117,900.37. The fees may adjust as project plans are further refined. In
addition, the HCP/NCCP fees adjust annually (in March). Final project fees based on final
project impacts will be paid at construction contract award.
The project is not anticipated to substantially impact any special-status species with implementation of
the mitigation and avoidance measures described above. Therefore, project impacts will be less than
significant with mitigation incorporated.
b) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
The project alignment has been carefully designed to minimize impacts to an unnamed tributary to Mt.
Diablo Creek; however the project will result in limited temporary and permanent impacts to the
tributary.
In order to protect those portions of the tributary that will not be temporarily or permanently impacted,
the following avoidance and minimization measures will be implemented:
AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-9:
1. Provision C.3 of the Contra Costa County Clean Water Program’s National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit will be followed to minimize the effects of urban
development on downstream hydrology, streams, and wetlands
2. All wetlands, ponds, streams, and riparian woodland/scrub to be avoided will be temporarily
staked in the field by a qualified biologist
3. Personnel conducting ground-disturbing activities within or adjacent to the buffer zone of
wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian woodland/scrub will be trained by a qualified biologist in
these avoidance and minimization measures and the permit obligations
4. Vehicles and equipment will be parked on pavement, existing roads, and previously disturbed
areas
5. Trash will be promptly and properly removed from the site
6. No construction or maintenance vehicles will be refueled within 200 feet of wetlands, ponds,

Page 25 of 73
streams, or riparian woodland/scrub unless a bermed and lined refueling area is constructed and
hazardous material absorbent pads are available in the event of a spill
7. Appropriate erosion control measures will be used on-site to reduce siltation and runoff of
contaminants into the wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian woodland/scrub. Filter fences and
mesh will be of material that will not entrap reptiles and amphibians. Erosion control blankets will
be used as a last resort because of their tendency to biodegrade slowly and to trap reptiles and
amphibians. Erosion control measures will be placed between the outer edge of the buffer and the
project site.
8. Fiber rolls used for erosion control will be certified as free of noxious weed seed
9. Seed mixtures applied for erosion control will not contain invasive non-native species and will be
composed of native species or sterile non-native species
MITIGATION MEASURE BIO-2: COMPENSATORY MITIGATION (WETLANDS AND
WATERS)
In order to mitigate for unavoidable temporary and permanent impacts to the unnamed tributary, the
temporary and permanent wetland impact fees will be paid to the Habitat Conservancy as described in
BIO-1 above.
The project is not anticipated to substantially impact the stream and riparian woodland habitat with
implementation of the mitigation and avoidance measures described above. Therefore, project
impacts will be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
c) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.)
through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
There are no known federally protected wetlands within the project boundaries. Further, the completed
field surveys concluded that there are no wetlands within the study area (LSA 2015a). Therefore, the
project will have no impact.
d) Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or
wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use
of native wildlife nursery sites?
The project consists of adding a northbound truck climbing lane to an existing heavily-traveled
roadway with an existing median that is a pre-existing barrier to wildlife movement. The project will
not result in any additional permanent disruption to movement of any wildlife species. Activities
associated with construction of the project may temporarily inhibit dispersal, migration, and daily
movement in the immediate vicinity of the work area; however, this disruption is limited and short
term in nature. Further, temporary impacts will be mitigated through payment of HCP/NCCP
temporary impact fees as discussed in Mitigation Measure BIO-1. Therefore, project impacts will be
less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

e) Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such
as tree preservation policy or ordinance?
The project will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources as
potential impacts and anticipated impacts will be avoided where feasible and where not feasible will
be mitigated through the HCP/NCCP or the Habitat Conservancy (for the area that falls within the
Concord City Limits). This is consistent with the policies for protection of biological resources
included in the Conservation Element section of the County General Plan (Contra Costa County
2005d). The project is not subject to the County Tree Ordinance as tree trimming and clearing will
occur within the County right-of-way. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
f) Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan?
The project is consistent with the HCP/NCCP as mitigation fees will be paid to offset impacts and the
required surveys and required avoidance and minimization measures will be implemented as described
above. Therefore, the project will have no impact.

Regulatory Background
CEQA requires lead agencies to determine if a project will have an adverse impact on a significant
cultural resource (includes historical and archaeological) (Public Resources Code Sections 21084,
21084.1, 21083.2). A resource is considered significant if it 1) is listed in or has been determined
eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR); 2) is included in a local
register of historical resources, as defined in Public Resources Code 5020.1(k); 3) has been identified as
significant in an historical resources survey, as defined in Public Resources Code 5024.1(g); or 4) is
determined to be historically significant by the CEQA lead agency [CCR Title 14, Section 15064.5(a)].
The following CRHR eligibility criteria need to be considered when making a significance
determination.
1. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
California’s history and cultural heritage;
2. Associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction or
represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
1. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
If a significant resource will be impacted, the Lead Agency must determine whether there is "substantial
evidence" in the administrative record to support a finding of significant effect (Section 21080(e)).
CEQA requires examination of mitigation measures or feasible project alternatives that would avoid or
minimize any impacts or potential impacts.

Tribal Cultural Resources
Effective July 1, 2015, Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) amended CEQA to mandate consultation with
California Native American tribes during the CEQA process to determine whether or not the proposed
project may have a significant impact on a Tribal Cultural Resource, and that this consideration be made
separately from cultural and paleontological resources.
Section 21073 of the Public Resources Code defines California Native American tribes as “a Native
American tribe located in California that is on the contact list maintained by the Native American
Heritage Commission for the purposes of Chapter 905 of the Statutes of 2004.” This includes both
federally and non-federally recognized tribes.
Section 21074(a) of the Public Resource Code defines Tribal Cultural Resources for the purpose of
CEQA as:
1) Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes (geographically defined in terms of the size and scope),
sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are any of
the following:
A. included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical
Resources; and/or
B. included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section
5020.1; and/or
C. a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial
evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1. In
applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1 for the purposes of this
paragraph, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native
American tribe.
Because criteria A and B also meet the definition of a Historical Resource under CEQA, a Tribal
Cultural Resource may also require additional consideration as a Historical Resource. Tribal Cultural
Resources may or may not exhibit archaeological, cultural, or physical indicators.
Recognizing that California tribes are experts in their tribal cultural resources and heritage, AB 52
requires that CEQA lead agencies carry out consultation with tribes at the commencement of the CEQA
process to identify Tribal Cultural Resources. Furthermore, because a significant effect on a Tribal
Cultural Resource is considered a significant impact on the environment under CEQA, consultation is
required to develop appropriate avoidance, impact minimization, and mitigation measures . Consultation
is concluded when either the lead agency and tribes agree to appropriate mitigation measures to mitigate
or avoid a significant effect, if a significant effect exists, or when a party, acting in good faith and after
reasonable effort, concludes that mutual agreement cannot be reached (21080.3.2[b]), whereby the lead
agency uses its best judgement in requiring mitigation measures that avoid or minimize impact to the
greatest extent feasible.
The Public Works Department has received only one letter to date requesting formal notification under
AB52. On August 24, 2015, the County received a notification letter from the Wilton Rancheria
requesting formal notification of proposed projects within their geographic area of traditional and
cultural affiliation.

Cultural and Historical Resource Assessment
In order to determine if the project area contains potential significant cultural and/or historical
resources, a qualified cultural resource specialist conducted research of recorded sites and surveys
within one mile of the project area and also reviewed historic maps and literature at the Northwest
Information Center at California State University, Sonoma, and various libraries. In addition, the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC) was contacted for a Sacred Lands File search to determine if
any recorded Native American sites occur within the project area. The NAHC provided a list of Native
American tribal representatives provided that may have knowledge of unrecorded sites who were also
contacted. A field survey was also conducted of the study area to determine if any cultural resources are
present (Condor Country 2015).
Environmental Setting
The project site lies on the fringe of suburban sections of Concord and rural sections of unincorporated
Contra Costa County. The project area consists of the paved road, the shoulder (which includes a
mixture of asphalt and compacted rocks), and a fairly narrow band of adjacent grassy hillsides along the
existing roadway. A tributary of Mount Diablo Creek lies along the southern side of Kirker Pass Road.
Approximately 75 percent of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) includes open grasslands and patches of
riparian vegetation along the tributary to Mount Diablo Creek that have remained largely unchanged
over time.
a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as
defined in §15064.5?
The records search and field survey did not identify historic resources in the project area. The records
search revealed that there are seven historic-era built environment structures located within a one-mile
radius of the project site. Five of these are located northwest of the project site, one is located to the
north, and two are located southwest of the project area. The field survey did not identify the presence of
recorded or unrecorded historical resources within the project area. Condor Country Consulting
archaeologists estimate that the probability for encountering unexpected subsurface cultural resources is
low to moderate. Nevertheless, the potential for subsurface resources cannot be completely ruled out and
the project may unearth unanticipated historic or pre-historic Native American period resources;
therefore, the following avoidance measures will be followed in the event subsurface resources are
discovered during project construction. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
AVOIDANCE MEASURE CUL-1:
Contractor will be notified of the possibility of encountering archaeological materials during
ground-disturbing activities and will be educated on the types of historic and pre-historic Native
American period archaeological materials that may be encountered.
If an inadvertent discovery is made, the Contractor will cease all ground-disturbing activities in
the area of discovery.
The Contractor will immediately notify the County Public Works Department Resident Engineer
who will then request a qualified archaeologist to evaluate the finding(s).
If the finding(s) is determined to be potentially significant, the archaeologist in consultation with
the appropriate Native American tribal representative or historical society will develop a research
design and treatment plan outlining management of the resource, analysis, and reporting of the
find.

Page 30 of 73
b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource
pursuant to §15064.5?
The records search and field survey did not identify archaeological resources within the project area.
Although there is a documented historical site (P-07-000104) located 0.50 mile southwest of the project
area, there are no physical indicators that the site’s boundaries extend into the project footprint and
Condor County Consulting concluded it is unlikely that the site extends to the southwest border of
Kirker Pass Road. In addition, the NAHC and the Native American tribal representatives contacted did
not identify native lands, plant gathering areas, archaeological deposits, or traditional cultural properties
within the project area. Further, an intensive reconnaissance archaeological survey conducted for
construction of the Concord Pavilion found no evidence of archaeological or historical materials.
Nevertheless, the potential for subsurface resources cannot be completely ruled out and the project may
unearth unanticipated historic or pre-historic Native American period resources; therefore, Avoidance
Measure CUL-1 will be followed in the event subsurface resources are discovered during project
construction. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
c) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique
geological feature?
The site is primarily underlain by Markley Sandstone Member of the Kreyenhagen Formation within an
area of alluvial deposit within the narrow valley in the western portion of the project (Mark Thomas &
Co., Inc. 2016). The Markley Sandstone unit is a marine deposit and contains bony fish (Osteichthyes)
fossils as well as gastropods and microfossils whereas alluvial deposits are younger units that do not
contain significant fossils. The University of California Museum of Paleontology database indicates
there are four records in Contra Costa County. Fossils commonly found in the Markley Formation are
not highly sensitive because of their abundance but there is potential for significant resources (Solano
Transportation Authority 2010).While no evidence of paleontological resources was observed during the
field survey, the potential for subsurface resources cannot be completely ruled out and the project may
unearth unanticipated paleontological resources; therefore, Avoidance Measure CUL-1 will be followed
in the event subsurface resources are discovered during project construction. Therefore, project impacts
will be less than significant.
d) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
The project will not impact any formal or informal cemeteries because none are present within or
adjacent to the project area. In order to determine if there are any unrecorded burial grounds and/or
sacred land sites in the vicinity of the project area, the NAHC was contacted to check their Sacred Lands
File of recorded sites. While no recorded sites were found, the NAHC provided a list of Native
American tribal representatives for the region to be notified for unrecorded sites. The listed Native
American representatives were notified of the project via certified mail and follow up emails or phone
calls. None of the tribal representatives identified Traditional Cultural Properties or plant collection
areas within the APE. Native American tribal representative Andrew Galvan responded with a request
for additional information and Native American tribal representative Ramona Garibay responded with a
concern that the prehistoric burial site may extend into the northern hillside surrounding Kirker Pass
Road. Based upon the recent archeological site reconnaissance conducted for the project as well as
earlier intensive surveys and negative findings during construction of the Concord Pavilion, and the
existing site conditions, Condor County Consulting recommended no Native American monitoring
unless an inadvertent discovery should occur during project construction. Although unexpected, should
there be an inadvertent discovery of Native American burials during construction excavation activities
the following avoidance measure will be implemented. Therefore, project impacts will be less than

significant.
AVOIDANCE MEASURE CUL-2:
Project specifications will require that the contractor shall stop work in the area of any discovery and
immediately notify CCCPWD Resident Engineer who will then contact the County Coroner, NAHC,
and a qualified archeologist to determine how to appropriately deal with the remains in coordination
with the Most Likely Descendent and in accordance with the California Health and Safety Code (Health
and Safety Code Section 7050.5[b]).
e) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a Tribal Cultural Resource as defined in
§21074?
The Public Works Department Environmental Services Division sent out a notice of opportunity to
consult letter to the Wilton Rancheria on September 9, 2015. A brief description of the project and its
location, and the lead agency contact information was provided, along with notification that the tribe
had 30 days to request consultation. No response to that letter was received and no further
communication has been received from the tribe concerning this project to date. The project is not
expected to cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a Tribal Cultural Resource as no
response was received from the tribe that has requested formal notification. Therefore, the project will
have no impact.

Environmental Setting
Geology
The project is within the Coast Ranges Geomorphic Province, positioned near the eastern boundary of the
Diablo Range to the west and San Joaquin River Delta and Valley to the east. The Coast Ranges in this area
consist of Mesozoic rocks, folded into a series of northwest-striking anticlines and synclines. The Diablo
Range, which forms the east edge of the Coast Ranges, includes numerous folds and thick sections of
sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks.
The project area is located on the northern flank of the Diablo Range at the southern edge of the
Pittsburg/Antioch Plain which is essentially a floodplain of Suisun Bay. The southern half of the plain is
covered by alluvial material eroded from the Diablo Range to the south. Alluvial materials were deposited
along the length of the base in a series of fans that spread outward across the plain toward Suisun Bay (Mark
Thomas & Co. 2016).

Page 34 of 73
The Preliminary Geologic Map emphasizing bedrock formations in Contra Costa County indicates that the
project site is underlain by the Lower Member of the Markley Formation described as thin-bedded to massive
sandstone with minor siltstone and mudstone; alluvium is mapped within the narrow valley in the western
portion of the project. Dibblee’s geologic map indicates the project site is underlain by Markley Sandstone
Member of the Tertiary-age Kreyenhagen Formation which is described as light gray to tan, fine to medium
grained, arkosic (quartz-rich), locally contains thin layers of coal; Quaternary-age alluvium is mapped as
occupying the floors of the narrow valley where the western portion of the project is located (Mark Thomas &
Co., Inc. 2016).
Soil
The soil types in the project area consist of Altamont-Fontana complex, 30 to 50 percent slopes; the Altamont
series consists of well-drained soils underlain by shale and fine-grained sandstone. Slopes within the road
right-of-way range from 4 to 10 percent while slopes within the steep canyon areas on the south side of the
road range from 30 to 50 percent. Based on subsurface boring data, the soils below the existing roadway
generally consist of varying thickness of stiff to hard clay overlying weathered rock (Mark Thomas & Co.
2016).
a) Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of
loss, injury, or death involving?
1 Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist -Priolo Earthquake
Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of
a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
Contra Costa County is located within a region of high seismicity; the San Francisco Bay Region has
been impacted by severe earthquakes during historic time (Contra Cost a County 2005e). In order to
provide safety of structures for human occupancy, the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act was
passed in 1972 to mitigate the hazards. The law requires the State Geologist to establish regulatory
zones (known as Earthquake Fault Zones) around the surface traces of active faults and to issue
appropriate maps (Association of Bay Area Governments [ABAG] 2015).
No active fault is mapped through the project area. However based on the published geologic map
(Dibblee) an unnamed fault trending north across Kirker Pass Road is mapped at the east end of the
project. This fault, like many others in the Markley Formation, is a relic of an old stress regime and not
involved in the current tectonic deformation of the area. Therefore, it has no potential for surface
rupture other than the slight possibility of sympathetic movement in response to ground shaking
produced by a large earthquake originating on an active fault somewhere in the Bay Region. The
impact to the project is considered low (Mark Thomas & Co. 2016). Nevertheless, the project design
and construction will incorporate measures that are in accordance with applicable state and local
design practice and guidelines to ensure the project will withstand seismic activity as defined in the
Caltrans Highway Design Manual (Caltrans 2015b). Therefore, project impacts will be less than
significant.
2 Strong seismic ground shaking?
The project is mapped in an area of very strong seismic shaking (ABAG 2016). As discussed above,
the project is not expected to expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects from
strong seismic ground shaking as the project does not include features that would increase risk to
people or structures as it is primarily limited to adding a truck lane to an existing roadway. Further, the
project design and construction will incorporate measures that are in accordance with applicable state

Page 35 of 73
and local design practices and guidelines to ensure that the project will withstand seismic activity as
defined in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (Caltrans 2015b). Therefore, project impacts will be
less than significant.
3 Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
The project area is located within a generally low liquefaction potential (Contra Costa County 2005e,
Mark Thomas & Co. 2016). Nevertheless, the project design and construction will incorporate
measures that are in accordance with applicable state and local design practice and guidelines to ensure
that the project will withstand seismic-related failures as defined in the Caltrans Highway Design
Manual (Caltrans 2015b). Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
4 Landslides?
The project site is located within an area identified as having landslide deposits (Contra Costa County
2005e: Figure 10-6). Two landslides were identified at the northeastern end of the project and an
unmapped pre-existing slide was observed within the project area where a retaining wall will be
constructed (Mark Thomas & Co. 2016). The project design and construction will incorporate
measures in accordance with state and local design practice and guidelines as defined in the Caltrans
Highway Design Manual to ensure that the project will withstand landslide potential. Therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.
b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
The existing slopes have established vegetation to help control erosion. Some erosion gullies have been
developed by the runoff along the slope surface within the project area (Mark Thomas & Co. 2016). The
project will be constructed primarily during the dry season (April – October) which will not result in
substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. Construction of the project will temporarily increase the
exposure of soils to wind erosion from grading and excavation activities. However, standard dust and
erosion control practices will be implemented as outlined in discussion item (a) of the Air Quality section
during construction to minimize impacts. The project site will be stabilized with hydroseeding following
grading activities to limit the potential for erosion. Therefore, project impacts will be less than
significant.
c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as
a result of the project, and potentially result in on-or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence,
liquefaction or collapse?
As discussed above, the project area is located within an area subject to landslides but is not subject to
lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse as the site is generally underlain by bedrock and
groundwater appears to be relatively deep (Mark Thomas & Co. 2016). The project design and
construction will incorporate measures in accordance with state and local design practice and guidelines as
defined in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual to ensure the project will withstand landslide potential.
Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
d) Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code
(1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink as they dry. The basic cause of expansion is the
attraction and absorption of water in the expandable crystal structures of clays (Contra Costa County
2005e). Bedrock is expected to be encountered at the pavement subgrade. Based on boring data and site
geology, the bedrock consists of sandstone with claystone beds. Claystone may shrink or swell due to
moisture fluctuation. The project will be engineered according to standard industry practice, which

includes design considerations for soil type. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative
waste disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater?
Neither the constructed project nor project construction will require septic or other waste disposal systems.
Therefore, the project will have no impact.

Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or

greenhouse gases?
Regulatory Background
Climate change refers to any significant change in measures of climate, such as average temperature,
precipitation, or wind patterns over a period of time. There is a general scientific consensus that global
climate change is occurring, caused in whole or in part by increased emissions of greenhouse gases
(GHGs) that keep the earth’s surface warm by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Climate change may
result from natural factors, natural processes, and human activities that change the composition of the
atmosphere and alter the surface and features of the land (California Office of Planning and Research
[OPR] 2008b).
Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, recognized that
California is the source of substantial amounts of GHG emissions which poses a serious threat to the
economic well-being, public health, natural resources, and the environment of California (OPR 2008b).
Potential adverse impacts of global warming include severe air quality problems, a reduction in the
quality and supply of water from the Sierra snowpack, a rise in sea levels causing the displacement of
coastal businesses and residences, damage to marine ecosystems and the natural environment, and an
increase in the incidences of infectious diseases, asthma, and other human health-related problems (OPR
2008b). This bill directed the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to begin developing discrete
early actions to reduce GHGs to reach the GHG reduction goals by 2020.
As discussed in the air quality section, in order to address global climate change associated with air
quality impacts, CEQA statutes were amended to require evaluation of GHG emissions (global
pollutants) which includes criteria air pollutants (regional pollutants) and toxic air contaminants (local
pollutants). As a result, the BAAQMD adopted CEQA thresholds of significance for criteria air
pollutants and GHGs, and issued updated CEQA guidelines to assist lead agencies in evaluating air
quality impacts to determine if a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable.
Various modeling tools are used to estimate emissions based on the type of project (i.e., land use
developments, linear transportation and utility projects). While the BAAQMD does not have an adopted
threshold of significance for construction-related GHG emissions, sources of construction-related GHGs
include exhaust (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide) for which the same detailed guidance as described for
criteria air pollutants and precursors should be followed (BAAQMD 2012).

Page 38 of 73
a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a
significant impact on the environment?
Construction activities, such as site preparation, site grading, on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles,
equipment hauling materials to and from the site, and motor vehicles transporting the construction crew
would produce combustion emissions from various sources. During construction of the project, GHGs
would be emitted through the operation of construction equipment and from worker and builder supply
vendor vehicles, each of which typically uses fossil-based fuels to operate. The combustion of fossil-
based fuels creates GHGs such as CO2, CH4, and N2O. Furthermore, CH4 is emitted during the fueling
of heavy equipment. Exhaust emissions from on-site construction activities would vary daily as
construction activity levels change.
Using the Road Construction Emissions Model, it is estimated that the project would generate
approximately 876 metric tons of CO2e during construction of the project. Although the BAAQMD
does not have a threshold for construction-related greenhouse gas emissions, implementation of the
BAAQMD’s construction mitigation measures would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by requiring
that all engines are properly maintained and by reducing the idling times of construction equipment.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1 (see Air Quality section) would ensure that construction
emissions impacts due to the project are less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
b) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Contra Costa County adopted the Contra Costa County Climate Action Plan in December 2015,
developed for the purpose of reducing the County’s GHG emissions and contribution to climate change.
Most of the measures identified in the Climate Action Plan consist of programs and incentives to be
implemented by the County and are not applicable to the proposed project.
In developing the threshold of significance for GHG emissions, the BAAQMD identified the emissions
level for which a project would conflict with existing California legislation adopted to reduce Statewide
GHG emissions. As indicated in the analysis presented above, the proposed project would not generate
emissions that would exceed the project-level significance criteria established by the BAAQMD and,
therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with plans adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG
emissions. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.

Regulatory Background
A material is considered hazardous if it appears on a list of hazardous materials prepared by a federal, state,
or local agency, or if it has characteristics defined as hazardous by such an agency. The release of hazardous
materials into the environment could potentially contaminate soils, surface water, and groundwater supplies.
The California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) which consists of the Air Resources Board,
Department of Pesticides Regulation, Department of Resources and Recycling and R ecovery, Department of
Toxic Substance Control (DTSC), Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) regulates hazardous materials and waste. Under Government Code
Section 65962.5, the DTSC maintains a list of hazardous substance sites (Cortese List) which includes
leaking underground storage tank sites, hazardous material sites, and landfills with evidence of groundwater

gravel road shoulders, and steep canyon slopes and grade cuts that are located to the south of the road. The
surrounding area is characterized by hilly grassland, undeveloped terrain north of the road and sparse rural
development south of the road, with the Concord Pavilion located further south at the western end of the
project.
Kirker Pass Road was built before the 1990 ban on leaded gasoline in California; consequently vehicles
fueled with leaded gasoline used Kirker Pass Road. Therefore, a qualified Geologist specializing in
hazardous material analysis was directed by County Public Works staff to conduct aerially deposited lead
sampling along the length of the project.
a) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine
transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
The project will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment because once
constructed, the project would not result in routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials other
than what already occurs by the traveling public. Therefore project impacts will be less than significant.
b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably
foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment?
Project construction could cause an unforeseen release of hazardous materials such as a hazardous
materials spill or equipment leak. However, the project contract specifications will require the contractor
to implement best management practices (BMPs) such as hazardous materials spill management and
regular maintenance of vehicles to minimize potential impacts from accidental spills associated with
project construction or construction equipment. In addition, project contract specifications will require
the contractor to contact Underground Service Alert (USA) prior to conducting any ground -disturbing
work that could potentially impact utilities.
Testing conducted along the project alignment concluded that several soil samples taken along Kirker
Pass Road exhibited elevated levels of aerially-deposited lead which is likely present due to the historical
use of Kirker Pass Road by vehicles using lead-based gasolines. Four of the samples’ lead concentrations
exceeded the allowable thresholds and are classified as California Class I Hazardous Waste or Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Hazardous Waste (or both). Soils with elevated levels will be
disturbed during construction which could pose a potential hazard to the public or environment. The
County Public Works Department has retained the services of hazardous waste specialist Geocon
Consultants Inc. (Geocon) to determine the exact depths and spatial locations of contaminated areas
within the project boundaries. Once this process is complete, Geocon and Public Works staff will
generate project contract specifications to specify appropriate excavation, materials handling, transport,
and disposal methods to protect project workers and the public. The following mitigation measures will
be implemented to ensure potential impacts are reduced to a level that is less than significant:

MITIGATION MEASURE HAZ 1: MATERIALS HANDLING/STORAGE/TRANSPORT
1. Soil exhibiting elevated lead levels will be handled as defined by a Final Lead Management Plan
prepared by a qualified hazardous waste specialist for the project. The Plan will identify specific
measures for on and/or off-site handling, storage, transport, and disposal. The Plan will include a
Worker Safety component utilizing BMPs to minimize worker exposure. The Worker Safety Plan
will include protocols for environmental monitoring, personnel monitoring including personal
protective equipment, and other appropriate health and safety protocols and procedures for the
handling of lead-impacted soil. Additional measures could include contractor and subcontractor
employee education regarding identification, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; ongoing
hazardous waste training incorporated into regular safety meetings; and repair or replacement of
perimeter controls, containment structures, covers, and liners as needed.
2. Further testing of stockpiled soil will be conducted during construction to verify lead levels.
3. Stockpiled soil that has verified lead levels that do not exceed California Class I Hazardous
Waste and/or RCRA Hazardous Waste thresholds may be used on-site with no further
restrictions.
4. Specific handling, use, and/or disposal protocols as follows:
a. Soil that is disposed of as a California Hazardous Waste and/or RCRA Hazardous Waste will
be transported to a Class I landfill.
b. Soil that is not disposed of as a California Hazardous Waste may be reused on-site (e.g., as
embankment fill) in a manner to protect human health and the environment.
Project impacts will be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
c) Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
The closest schools are over a mile from the project site. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
d) Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled
pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to
the public or the environment?
After records review (local, state, tribal, and federal environmental record sources), no documentation
or evidence of known soil or groundwater contamination were found. The project is not included on a
known list of hazardous materials sites (CalEPA 2016b) however after preliminary soil testing was
conducted several samples taken along Kirker Pass Road exhibited elevated levels of aerially-deposited
lead. Mitigation will be implemented as identified in Mitigation Measures HAZ-1 above. Therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within
two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people
residing or working in the project area.
The project site is not within two miles of an airport. The closest airport is the Buchanan Field Airport
located approximately 7 miles to the west. According to Figure 5-5 of the Contra Costa County General
Plan the project is not within the Buchanan Field Airport Influence Area. Therefore, the project will have
no impact.

f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for
people residing or working in the project area?
The project is not located in the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
g) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response
plan or emergency evacuation plan?
The constructed project will not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Access for emergency vehicles will be provided
at all times during construction. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
h) Would the project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are
intermixed with wildlands?
The project area is primarily located within a high fire hazard zone (CalFire 2007). The project does not
consist of development of structures that would expose people or structures to a significant loss, injury,
or death from wildland fires. However, project construction may spark unintentional fires. Standard
practice and OSHA regulations require the development of a fire protection program to be followed
through all phases of construction work and provide firefighting equipment (OSHA 2016). Therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting
The project site is located within the northern foothills of Mount Diablo. Slopes within the Kirker Pass Road
right-of-way range from 4 to 10 percent, while slopes within the steep canyon areas on the south side of the
road are considerably steeper. The portion of the study area to the west of the Kirker Pass summit generally
drains to the adjacent, roughly parallel unnamed tributary, roadway culverts, or concrete-lined ditches south

of the road. The portion of the study area to the east of Kirker Pass summit generally drains south off of the
road to concrete or earthen ditches, and then eastward along Kirker Pass Road. The unnamed tributary
within the study area originates along Hess Road on the west side of Kirker Pass and to the south of the
study area. The crest of the roadway is located at approximately Engineering Station 115. A drainage lies to
the west of the crest and eventually drains to Mt. Diablo Creek in the city of Concord. An unformed
drainage area lies to the east of the crest and eventually drains to Kirker Creek.
a) Would the project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
The federal Clean Water Act and state Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act have promulgated a number of
program permits to improve surface and groundwater quality and meet water quality objectives through
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (Order No. R2-
2015-0049) requires new development and redevelopment projects that create more than 10,000 square
feet of impervious surface area to construct stormwater treatment systems to treat stormwater runoff
(Provision C.3) (Regional Water Quality Control Board 2015). As a component of the project, two
bioretention areas will be installed to satisfy the requirements of Provision C.3 of the Contra Costa
County Clean Water Program’s NPDES Permit.
The NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land
Disturbances (Order No. 2012-0006-DWQ) requires that construction projects that disturb more than
one acre of soil to seek permit coverage from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) which
requires notification, fees, and preparation of a Stormwater Prevention Pollution Plan (SWPPP) that
identifies best management practices (BMPs) to be implemented during and after construction to avoid
and minimize polluted runoff from construction sites (SWRCB 2015).
The project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements for the reasons
discussed above. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
b) Would the project substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which
would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
The project will not affect groundwater supply or groundwater recharge. Therefore, the project will have
no impact.
c) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through
the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion
or siltation on- or off-site?
Existing roadside drainage features, such as concrete ditches, asphalt dikes, and inlets, will be relocated
during pavement widening, and existing culverts under the roadway will be extended. Once complete
the project will largely maintain the existing drainage pattern; however, two bioretention features will
be installed to satisfy the requirements of Provision C.3 of the Contra Costa County Clean Water
Program’s NPDES Permit. Provision C.3 requires stormwater retention and treatment to reduce erosion
and sediment associated with runoff and to mimic the site’s pre-construction hydrology. Therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.

d) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through
the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface
run-off in a manner which would result in flooding on-or off-site?
The project will create additional impervious surface area as a result of the pavement widening. While
there will be an increase in impervious area which could potentially increase the amount of surface run-
off, construction of the two C.3 facilities will mimic the site’s preconstruction hydrology; therefore,
project impacts will be less than significant.
e) Would the project create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
As noted above, the constructed project will create additional impervious surface area; however, the
project design will also include two bioretention facilities that will ensure the project will not contribute
to substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. Therefore, project impacts will be less than
significant.
f) Would the project otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
Implementation of appropriate best management practices (BMPs) will avoid potential impacts to water
quality during construction. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
g) Would the project place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a Federal Flood
Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
The project is not located within a 100-year flood zone (Contra Costa County 2016). Further, the project
will not create housing. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
h) Would the project place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures that would impede or redirect
flood flows?
As noted above, the project is not located within a 100-year flood plain zone, and the project will not
create any structures which would not impede or redirect flood flows. Therefore, the project will have no
impact.
i) Would the project expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
The project will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
flooding due to levee or dam failure as the project will not create levees or dams. Therefore, the project
will have no impact.
j) Would the project the expose people or structures to risk of inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
The project area is not subject to seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Therefore, the project will have no
impact.

Mineral resources such as crushed rock, sand, and other resources, are important minerals in the region as
they provide the necessary components for construction materials including asphalt and concrete for current
and future development in the region. The most important mineral resources that are currently mined in the
County include diabase near Mt. Zion on the north side of Mt. Diablo, which provides crushed rock
primarily for roadbase and streambank stabilizations; domengine sandstone, located in the eastern portion of
the County just south of Camino Diablo and east of Vasco Road in the Byron area, which is the sole deposit
in the state; and shale in the Port Costa area, which has been designated for protection by the County General
Plan (Contra Costa County 2005h).
a) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to
the region and the residents of the state?
There are no mapped mineral resource areas in the project area (Contra Costa County 2005h).
Therefore, the project will have no impact.
b) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site
delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan?
There are no mapped mineral resource areas in the project area (Contra Costa County 2005h). As such,
the project will not adversely affect the availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site
shown in the General Plan. Therefore, the project will have no impact.

Background
The effects of noise on people include subjective effects of annoyance, nuisance, and dissatisfaction.
Persistent and escalating noise sources can affect one’s overall health including stress -related illnesses,
high blood pressure, hearing loss, speech interference, sleep disruption, and lost productivity (USEPA
2016). The main contributors to a community noise problem are transportation sources such as
highways, railroads, and airports as they are the most pervasive and continual. Temporary noise sources
can add to the noise problem such as equipment operating at a construction site. The dynamic of the
noise problem are based on the relationship between the noise source, the person or place exposed to the
noise (receiver or sensitive receptor) and the path the noise will travel from the noise source to the
receiver/sensitive receptor. Since the ear is not as sensitive at some frequencies and sound pressure level
as at others, several methods of expressing average noise levels over a period of time have been
developed (HUD 2016).
Sound intensity is typically measured in decibels (dB) from a range of 0 (threshold of hearing) to 140
(threshold of pain); the higher the decibels, the greater the intensity. For example, a decibel level of 10 is
the sound of leaves rustling, a decibel level of 30 is a whisper, a decibel level of 60 is freeway traffic, a
decibel of 90 is a noisy urban street, and a decibel level of 140 is a nearby jet engine. Prolonged
exposure from at least 75 dB increases tension affecting blood pressure, heart function, and nervous
system; prolonged exposure from at least 85 dB causes physical damage to human hearing; above 90 dB
results in permanent cell damage, at 140 dB feeling of pain, and 190 dB will rupture the eardrum and

permanently damage the inner ear (HUD 2016).
Section 65302(f) of the California Government Code requires that a noise element be prepared as a part
of all city and county general plans. This state law requires that a jurisdiction’s noise element identify
and work toward mitigation of noise problems in the community and include implementation measures
and possible solutions that address any existing and perceivable noise problems. The Contra Costa
County General Plan Noise Element follows the guidelines established by the California Department of
Health Services entitled Guidelines for the Preparation and Content of the Noise Element of the General
Plan, which defines noise metrics, discusses the process of noise element development, and presents
land use compatibility guidelines based on various noise levels and provides goals, policies, and
implementation measures for consideration (Contra Costa County 2005i).
Contra Costa County does not have a noise ordinance and therefore, does not specify operational or
construction noise level limits. The Noise Element of the General Plan does specify that construction
activities shall be concentrated during the hours of the day that are not noise-sensitive for adjacent land
uses and should be commissioned to occur during normal work hours of the day to provide relative quiet
during the more sensitive evening and early morning periods. Construction activities are generally
limited to the hours between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Contra Costa County 2005i).
A portion of the project lies within the City Limits of Concord. Concord Municipal Code Section 62-
32(I)(y) regulates noise by only allowing construction activity during certain hours each day of the week.
Construction activity is allowed Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm and on the weekends
from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Land Use Setting
The land uses surrounding the project area consist of grazing lands, a junk yard, a rural residence, nearby
residential homes (located just outside the project limits) and the Concord Pavilion. Noise sensitive land
uses consist of the residences located nearby the project area (along Flagstone Way) and one rural
residence located within the project limits but higher in elevation than the construction area. The homes
along Flagstone Way are located across Kirker Pass Road from the Concord Pavilion and have an
existing 6-7 foot tall sound barrier that would provide a minimum 10 dBA reduction in noise levels. The
existing noise environment in the project area is governed primarily by vehicular traffic traveling on
Kirker Pass Road.
a) Would the project cause exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
According to noise modeling conducted for operational impacts, the constructed project will not increase
ambient noise levels above what already exists. As no operational traffic noise impacts are anticipated,
no noise abatement measures are warranted.
Project construction may temporarily increase the noise level in the project area as a result of
construction equipment noise. Standard construction equipment anticipated to be used includes
excavators, graders, loaders, sweepers/scrubbers, plate compactors, rollers, backhoes, and pavers. In
general, these types of construction equipment generate noise levels ranging from about 76 to 83
decibels at 50 feet from the noise source (FHWA 2016).

Page 53 of 73
Based on the Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 14-8.02, Noise Control (2010), the following rules
are applicable to the project’s construction activities:
1. Do not exceed 86 dBA at 50 feet from the job site activities from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
2. Equip an internal combustion engine with the manufacturer-recommended muffler. Do not
operate an internal combustion engine on the job site without the appropriate muffler.
In accordance with the Noise Element of the General Plan and the City of Concord’s Municipal Code,
project work will occur primarily during daytime hours, the non-sensitive period. Further, roadway
construction activities typically occur for relatively short periods of time as construction proceeds along
the project’s alignment. Construction noise would mostly be of concern where noise levels from
individual pieces of equipment are substantially higher than ambient conditions, or when construction
activities would occur during noise sensitive hours (early morning, evening, or nighttime hours).
Construction of the project is primarily anticipated to occur during daytime hours; however, there may
be times when nighttime work is necessary. Most construction phases would generate average noise
levels that would exceed ambient daytime noise levels by about 10 dBA Leq[h] with shielding provided by
existing noise barriers and natural shielding such as topography and vegetation. Demolition involving
impact tools would generate noise levels of about 20 dBA Leq[h]. Maximum instantaneous noise levels
generated by typical construction activities would generally be 5dB or less above existing maximum
noise levels generated by traffic.
To reduce the potential for noise impacts resulting from project construction, the following measures
will be implemented during project construction:
MITIGATION MEASURE NOI-1: EMPLOY NOISE-REDUCING PRACTICES DURING
CONSTRUCTION
1. Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are
in good condition and appropriate for the equipment.
2. Unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines within 100 feet of residences should be
strictly prohibited.
3. Locate stationary noise generating equipment as far as possible from sensitive receptors.
4. Utilize ‘quiet’ air compressors and other ‘quiet’ equipment where such technology exists.
5. Avoid staging of construction equipment within 200 feet of residences and locate all stationary
noise-generating construction equipment as far as practical from noise sensitive receptors.
6. Require all construction equipment to conform to Section 14-8.02 Noise Control, of the latest
Standard Specifications.
7. Provide notification to the adjacent noise-sensitive receptors including the specific construction
schedule for major noise-generating construction activities.
Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
b) Would the project cause exposure of persons to or generation of, excessive ground borne vibration or
ground borne noise levels?
Road traffic is rarely the source of perceptible ground-borne vibration. Exceptions to this occur when
there is a significant discontinuity in the roadway surface. Vehicles traveling over a discontinuity can

impart energy into the ground that can be perceived as ground -borne vibration (Caltrans 2013). The
project will result in a smoother road pavement surface. Therefore, the constructed project is not
expected to result in perceptible ground-borne vibration. However, construction activities could include
operation of large pieces of equipment (e.g., graders, excavators) that may result in the periodic
temporary generation of ground-borne vibration. While the project vicinity is largely rural in nature,
there is a residence near the project’s eastern segment. Heavy construction equipment will primarily be
operated during the clearing/grubbing and grading phases, which are not anticipated to occur
continuously at any one location as it would move throughout the project limits. Therefore, project
impacts will be less than significant.
c) Would the project cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project?
According to noise modeling conducted for operational impacts, the constructed project will not increase
ambient noise levels above what already exists. As no operational traffic noise impacts are anticipated,
no noise abatement measures are warranted. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
d) Would the project cause a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the
project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
The project will not contribute to temporary or periodic increases in the ambient noise levels in the
project vicinity above what exists currently. The road improvements will create better traffic flow along
the roadway. According to noise modeling conducted for operational impacts, the constructed project
will not increase ambient noise levels above what already exists. As no operational traffic noise impacts
are anticipated, no noise abatement measures are warranted. Therefore, project impacts will be less than
significant.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within
two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working
in the project area to excessive noise levels?
There is no public airport located within two miles of the project area. Therefore, the project will have no
impact.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
The project is not located in the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, the project will have no impact.

b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating
the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Section 15126.2(d) of the CEQA Guidelines states that the lead agency shall discuss ways in which the
proposed project could foster economic or population growth, or the construction of additional housing,
either directly or indirectly in the surrounding environment including the removal of obstacles that would
encourage population growth. Increases in the population may stress existing community service facilities,
requiring construction of new facilities that could cause significant environmental effects (Contra Costa
County 2005j).
a) Would the project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)?
The project is a truck climbing lane project that is intended to reduce congestion along an existing
roadway. The project does not include new development or other infrastructure that could induce
substantial population growth. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
While the project may require some sliver right-of-way acquisitions along Kirker Pass Road to
accommodate the new truck lane, the project will not result in the displacement of existing homes. No
homes will be demolished or removed by the project. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
c) Would the project displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?
The project will not displace residents because as stated above no residences will be removed or
demolished. Therefore, the project would have no impact.

1 Fire Protection?
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District provides fire protection services and emergency
services for nine cities (including Concord) and the unincorporated areas in Contra Costa County (Contra
Costa County 2005k). The constructed project will not increase demand for fire protection services and
thus no new government facilities or expansion of existing facilities will be required. However, project
construction could spark unintentional fires that may require fire services. Project contract specifications
will require the contractor to contact local fire protection response services prior to project construction
and provide at least one passable lane at all times during construction for fire protection vehicles.
Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
2 Police Protection?
The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department provides general public safety and law enforcement
services in unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County (Contra Costa County 2005k) and the City of
Concord provides police services within Concord City Limits. The constructed project will not increase
demand for police services and thus no new government facilities or expansion of existing facilities will
be required. However, to alleviate any disruption to police protection services during construction, the
contractor will contact local police protection response services prior to project construction and provide
at least one passable lane at all times during construction for police vehicles. Therefore, project impacts
will be less than significant.
3 Schools?

and thus no new government facilities or expansion of existing facilities will be required. Therefore, the
project will have no impact.
4 Parks?
The project area is not located within or near a park. The constructed project will not increase demand
for parks and thus no new facilities or expansion of existing facilities will be required. Therefore, the
project will have no impact.
5 Other public facilities?
There are no other public facilities that would require new or expanded service facilities. Therefore, the
project will have no impact.

Regulatory Background
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is a public agency formed to manage the County's
transportation sales tax program and to conduct countywide transportation planning. CCTA is responsible for
maintaining and improving the County’s transportation system by planning, funding, and delivering critical
transportation infrastructure projects and programs that connect the communities safely and efficiently
including bicycle and pedestrian projects as described in the 2009 Countywide Bike and Pedestrian Plan
(CCTA 2009, 2014). In addition, the Transportation and Circulation Element of the County General Plan
includes transportation goals and policies (Contra Costa County 2005l).
Existing Traffic Conditions
Kirker Pass Road will be widened so that the roadway on the southeast side from Clearbrook Drive in the City
of Concord to the northern Hess Road intersection will accommodate a northbound truck climbing lane. This
stretch of rural road experiences heavy commute traffic; including truck traffic. The steep grade of this stretch
of Kirker Pass Road forces truck traffic to slow as truck drivers negotiate the steep grade. This slowing causes
congestion, particularly during commute hours.

a) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of
effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation
including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system,
including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths,
and mass transit?
The constructed project will not conflict with applicable plans, ordinances or policies establishing measures
of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system since the purpose of the project is to create a
truck lane that will allow for better traffic flow and will not lead to adverse changes in truck routing.
After reviewing the 2009 Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, County Public Works
Staff has determined that the project will not interfere with the County bicycle plan as Kirker Pass Road
within the project segment is not designated as a bicycle facility but designated as a proposed facility
(CCTA 2009). Once the project is completed the new paved shoulders could include a class II bike lane in
the future.
While the constructed project will improve traffic circulation and will not interfere with other modes of
motorized and non-motorized transportation, construction of the project will temporarily disrupt traffic
circulation as it will result in traffic congestion and delays from one-way road closures. Construction
activities will be generally limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Traffic control will be in place to accommodate morning and evening commute traffic.
In order to ensure traffic impacts are minimized during construction activities, the project contract
specifications will require the contractor to implement the following avoidance measures:
AVOIDANCE MEASURE TRA-1:
1. No full lane closures allowed during commute hours; at off-peak hours one lane of Kirker Pass Road
may be temporarily closed during active construction; reopening of lanes at the end of each working
day.
2. Temporary lane closures may be scheduled at times of minimal traffic volumes such as nights,
weekends, and off-commute hours where low traffic volumes are expected.
3. Traffic control including flaggers will be used as warranted to adjust flow as vehicle volume increases
in either direction.
4. Placement of construction zone speed limits.
5. Advance letter notification to local emergency response services to allow them to plan for alternate
routes.
6. Emergency vehicle access at all times.
7. Letter notification to local residents seven calendar days in advance of construction and road closure
start date(s).
8. Publish press release in local newspapers seven days before construction start date.
9. Placement of portable changeable message signs at various locations in project vicinity with
construction start and road closure dates and period at least seven calendar days in advance of start
dates.
10. Provide accessibility to driveways to properties outside the project area throughout the project.
In addition, County Design and Construction Division staff will coordinate with the City of Concord and
the Concord Pavilion as early as possible to minimize disruption to any scheduled events. Project impacts
will be less than significant with these avoidance measures in place.

b) Would the project conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited
to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county
congestion management agency for designated roads or highways?
The constructed project will not conflict with a congestion management program as the purpose of the
project is to improve the existing traffic flow along the roadway for trucks and cars. While there will be
additional traffic generated during project construction from construction-related vehicles, the traffic
increases are short-term. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
c) Would the project result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or
a change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
The project will not result in a change in air traffic patterns as there will be no increase in traffic levels or
change in location that would pose a substantial safety risk. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
d) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)?
The constructed project will not substantially increase hazards due to a design feature as the purpose of the
project is to improve traffic flow along the roadway. During construction the project contract specifications
will require the contractor to implement the avoidance measures above to minimize potential construction
impacts; therefore project impacts will be less than significant.
e) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access?
The constructed project would not result in inadequate emergency access. However, project construction
could interfere with emergency access. The project contract specifications include the measures listed
above to minimize potential impacts. Therefore, project impacts will be less than significant.
f) Would the project conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or
pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities?
As discussed above, the project will not disrupt any current or planned public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian
facilities planned along Kirker Pass Road within the project segment. While Kirker Pass Road will not be
designated as a current bicycle facility, the completed project will provide widened paved shoulders for
future Class II bike lanes which is consistent with County transportation policies (Contra Costa County
2005l, CCTA 2009, 2014). Therefore, the project will have no impact.

the provider’s existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted
capacity to accommodate the project’s waste
disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state and local statutes
and regulations related to solid waste?
A portion of the project area is not located within service areas due to its location in a rural area beyond city
limits, which relies on wells for domestic water and septic tanks and leach fields for sanitary waste (Contra
Costa County 2005m). The other area of the project lies within the City of Concord and served by their
services, but the project will not require water or wastewater treatment services.
a) Would the project exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality
Control Board?
The project will not exceed wastewater requirements because the completed project would not result in the
need for wastewater treatment. Therefore, the project will have no impact.

The project will not require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment faci lities or
expansion of existing facilities because the completed project will not require or result in the need for water
or wastewater services. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
c) Would the project require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
Existing roadside drainage features, such as concrete ditches, asphalt dikes, and inlets, will be relocated
during pavement widening, and existing culverts under the roadway will be extended. Once complete the
project will largely maintain the existing drainage pattern; however, two bioretention features will be
installed to satisfy the requirements of Provision C.3 of the Contra Costa County Clean Water Program’s
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. Provision C.3 requires stormwater
retention and treatment to reduce erosion and sediment associated with runoff and to mimic the site’s pre-
construction hydrology. Therefore, the project’s impacts will be less than significant.
d) Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements
and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
The completed project will not require water service, and any water needed during construction activities
would be provided by water trucks from off-site water sources. Therefore, the project will have no impact.
e) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may
serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the
provider’s existing commitments?
The completed project will not require wastewater treatment services. Therefore, the project will have no
impact.
f) Would the project be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s
waste disposal needs?
The completed project will not have waste disposal needs. Solid waste generated by project construction
would be limited to construction debris such as vegetative matter, asphalt, and concrete. Material generated
by the excavation of the existing roadway and construction of associated improvements will be disposed of
in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Therefore, project impacts will be less than
significant.
g) Would the project comply with federal, state and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
The project specifications will require that the contractor dispose of solid waste generated from construction
in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Therefore, the project will have no impact.

Compensatory mitigation will take the following two forms:
1. HCP/NCCP Development and Wetland Mitigation Fees:
For impacts within the HCP/NCCP Service Area, the project will
mitigate permanent and temporary impacts by fee payment to the
Habitat Conservancy. Mitigation fees are based on the project’s
impact acreages and are calculated based on two fee types (the
project-wide development fee and the wetland mitigation fee).
These fees are currently estimated to be $137,056.47. The fees
may adjust as project plans are further refined. In addition, the
HCP/NCCP fees adjust annually (in March). Final project fees
based on final project impacts will be paid at construction
contract award.
2. Supplemental mitigation funds:
For impacts outside the HCP/NCCP Service Area, an additional
mitigation fee will be paid. The additional mitigation fee will
consist of a base fee (i.e., the fee that would be paid if this portion
of the project fell within the HCP/NCCP Service Area), plus a
“contribution to recovery fee” to ensure there is funding for an
endowment and management in perpetuity for the mitigation. In
addition, a nominal processing fee will be provided to the Habitat
Conservancy for implementation of conservation goals beyond
those required by the HCP/NCCP in accordance with Sections
8.6.2 and 9.3.2 of the HCP/NCCP. Mitigation achieved with this
supplemental funding will consist of additional land acquisition
and preservation; habitat enhancement, restoration, and creation;
and species-specific management actions. With payment of these
supplemental mitigation funds, the Public Works Department will
transfer the mitigation obligation to the Conservancy. The
Conservancy will track the supplemental mitigation funds

within 0.5 mile of the proposed project site are occupied. The survey
will be conducted no more than one month in advance of
construction. Occupancy of nests will be determined by observations
from the project site and public roads or by observations of golden
eagle activity (e.g., foraging) near the project site. Covered activities
will be prohibited within 0.5 mile of active nests. Nests can be built
and active at almost any time of the year, although mating and egg
incubation occurs late January through August, with peak activity in
March through July. If site-specific conditions or the nature of the
covered activity (e.g., steep topography, dense vegetation, limited
activities) indicate that a smaller buffer could be appropriate or that a
larger buffer should be implemented, the Implementing Entity will
coordinate with CDFW/USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer
size. During construction, biological monitoring will focus on

whether burrowing owls are nesting in or directly adjacent to
disturbance areas. During the nonbreeding season (September 1–
January 31), surveys will document whether burrowing owls are using
habitat in or directly adjacent to any disturbance area . Survey results
will be valid only for the season (breeding or nonbreeding) during
which the survey is conducted. If burrowing owls are found during the
breeding season (February 1–August 31), the project proponent will
avoid all nest sites that could be disturbed by project construction
during the remainder of the breeding season or while the nest is
occupied by adults or young. Avoidance will include establishment of a
non-disturbance buffer zone. Construction may occur during the
breeding season if a qualified biologist monitors the nest and
determines that the birds have not begun egg-laying and incubation or
that the juveniles from the occupied burrows have fledged. During the
nonbreeding season (September 1– January 31), the project proponent
should avoid the owls and the burrows they are using, if possible.
Avoidance will include the establishment of a buffer zone. If occupied
burrows for burrowing owls are not avoided, passive relocation will be
implemented. Owls should be excluded from burrows in the immediate
impact zone and within a 160-foot buffer zone by installing one-way
doors in burrow entrances. These doors should be in place for 48 hours
prior to excavation. The project area should be monitored daily for 1
week to confirm that the owl has abandoned the burrow. Whenever
possible, burrows should be excavated using hand tools and refilled to
prevent reoccupation (CDFG 1995). Plastic tubing or a similar structure
should be inserted in the tunnels during excavation to maintain an
escape route for any owls inside the burrow. The applicant may conduct
burrow management (i.e., regular surveys to find and proactively
collapse unoccupied yet suitable burrows) in advance of and during
construction to lower the likelihood of owls occupying burrows within
the project area.

buffer sizes of 250 feet for raptors and 50 feet for passerines should
prevent disturbance to birds nesting in a moderately urban
environment, but these buffers may be increased or decreased, as

may only occur after the eviction plan has been approved by CDFW.
Tree removal surrounding roost trees will be conducted without
damaging roost trees. All trees will be cut and left on the ground

initiation of covered activities. If San Joaquin kit foxes and/or
suitable dens are identified in the survey area, the measures
described below will be implemented. If a San Joaquin kit fox den is
discovered in the proposed development footprint, the den will be
monitored for 3 days by a USFWS/CDFW-approved biologist using
a tracking medium or an infrared beam camera to determine if the
den is currently being used. Unoccupied dens should be destroyed
immediately to prevent subsequent use. If a natal or pupping den is
found, USFWS and CDFW will be notified immediately. The den
will not be destroyed until the pups and adults have vacated and then
only after further consultation with USFWS and CDFW. If kit fox
activity is observed at the den during the initial monitoring period,
the den will be monitored for an additional 5 consecutive days from
the time of the first observation to allow any resident animals to
move to another den while den use is actively discouraged. For dens
other than natal or pupping dens, use of the den can be discouraged
by partially plugging the entrance with soil such that any resident
animal can easily escape. Once the den is determined to be
unoccupied it may be excavated under the direction of the biologist
Alternatively, if the animal is still present after 5 or more
consecutive days of plugging and monitoring, the den may have to
be excavated when, in the judgment of a biologist, it is temporarily
vacant (i.e., during the animal’s normal foraging activities). If dens
are identified in the survey area outside the proposed disturbance
footprint, exclusion zones around each den entrance or cluster of
entrances will be demarcated. The configuration of exclusion zones
should be circular, with a radius measured outward from the den
entrance(s). No covered activities will occur within the exclusion
zones. Exclusion zone radii for potential dens will be at least 50 feet
and will be demarcated with four to five flagged stakes. Exclusion
zone radii for known dens will be at least 100 feet and will be
demarcated with staking and flagging that encircles each den or
cluster of dens but does not prevent access to the den by kit fox.

BIO-7 AVOIDANCE MEASURE BIO-7: NESTING BIRDS AND
RAPTORS
Additional passerine and raptor bird species also have the potential
to breed and forage within the project vicinity due to the presence of
riparian and oak woodlands, native grassland, and seasonal wetlands
in the project area or vicinity. Most passerine and raptor species are
protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and Fish and
Game Code. Construction of the project will require removal of
trees and shrubs along Kirker Pass Road. The general avian nesting
season is February 1 – August 31. Therefore, the project may
directly or indirectly impact listed and/or MBTA-protected nesting
birds and/or raptors if present. The project is not anticipated to
impact these species with implementation of the following
avoidance measures:
1. If tree removal, pruning, or grubbing activities are necessary,
such activities will be conducted between October and February
– outside of the breeding season – and preferably during the fall,
prior to the onset of the rainy season, to avoid impacts to ne sting
migratory birds.
2. If project construction begins during the breeding season
(February 1 to August 31), preconstruction surveys will be
conducted within the project footprint and a 250-foot buffer for
raptors and a 50-foot buffer for all other nesting birds, by a
qualified biologist no more than two weeks prior to staging,
pruning/grubbing or surface-disturbing activities. If no active
nests are found within the project footprint and a 250-foot
buffer, no further measures need to be implemented.
3. If active nests (i.e. nests in the egg laying, incubating, nestling
or fledgling stages) are found within 250 feet of the project
footprint, non-disturbance buffers will be established at a
distance sufficient to minimize disturbance based on the nest
location, topography, cover, the nesting pair’s tolerance to
disturbance and the type/duration of potential disturbance.
Sufficient buffers are generally 250 feet for raptors and 50 feet
for other nesting birds. No work will occur within the non -
disturbance buffers until the young have fledged, as determined

MINIMIZATION
The project has been designed to be consistent with the HCP/NCCP
Conservation Measure 1.14 Design Requirements for Covered Road
Outside the Urban Development Area. In compliance with that
measure, the following additional avoidance measures will be
implemented for protection of the biological resources within the
Project area and vicinity:
Equipment storage, fueling, and staging areas will be sited on
disturbed areas or on ruderal or non-sensitive, non-native
grassland land cover types, when these sites are available to
minimize risk of direct discharge into sensitive land cover types
No erodible materials will be deposited into watercourses.
Brush, loose soils, or other debris will not be stockpiled within
stream channels or on adjacent banks
All no-take species will be avoided
Construction activities will comply with the MBTA and will
consider seasonal requirements for birds and migratory non -
resident species, including HCP/NCCP covered species
Temporary stream diversions, if required, will use sand bags or
other approved methods that minimize in-stream impacts and
effects on wildlife
Silt fencing or other sediment trapping methods will be installed
down-gradient from construction activities to minimize the
transport of sediment off site
Barriers will be constructed to keep wildlife out of construction
sites, as appropriate

COMMENT LETTER #1. DARIO ARUGAY (September 7, 2016)
Comment 1-1: Mr. Arugay notes there is an existing storm drain inlet at the
intersection of Kirker and Clearbrook Drive, where the concrete median barrier ends.
During the rains, this drain inlet does not function to catch any runoff from the hill
because the inlet is above the existing grade, i.e., runoff is not going into the inlet. The
runoff from the hill stops at the end of the concrete median barrier, and eventually
flows toward the northbound (NB) lanes toward the pavilion and the left turn pocket to
Clearbrook Drive, thus, creating skid or less traction to the car tires as residents enter
the Canyon Creek Community (CCC). This is a safety issue. The current superelevation
of southbound Kirker Pass is leaning toward the east side of the roadway to the
Concord Pavilion. Mr. Arugay requests that the existing storm drain inlet be
reconstructed below the existing grade as it will ensure that all runoff gets into the inlet
and no spillage to the northbound lanes. Mr. Arugay further requests adding more drain
inlets to be tied to the drain inlet from the hill down to the intersection's existing storm
drain inlet.
Response: The Kirker Pass Road/Clearbrook Drive intersection is outside the limits of
the proposed improvements for the project and within the City of Concord. Ms. Nancy
Wein of the Contra Costa County Public Works Department, Transportation Engineering
Division has notified the City of your concern for drainage in this intersection. The City
of Concord’s Infrastructure Manager, Jeff Rogers, can be reached at (925) 671 -3108 or
jeff.rogers@cityofconcord.org.
Comment 1-2: Mr. Arugay inquires as to where is the potential equipment staging
area.
Response: The construction staging area is not specified by the construction plans and
will be up to the contractor to establish; however, the contractor will be limited to
staging on previously disturbed areas that are not environmentally sensitive.
Comment 1-3: Mr. Arugay inquires if there is a provision for a crosswalk at the
intersection of Kirker Pass and Clearbrook Drive, i.e., from the Canyon Creek
community to the Concord Pavilion, and requests to have one installed.
Response: The Kirker Pass Road/Clearbrook Drive intersection is outside the limits of
the proposed improvements for the project and within the City of Concord. The best
person at the City with whom to discuss an appropriate pedestrian pathway would be
the Transportation Manager II, Abul Hossain, who can be contacted at (925) 671-3181

Response: The project consists of the construction of a truck climbing lane on a
heavily-traveled roadway with an existing median barrier. There are currently no
scuppers in the median. Because the project does not involve any adjustments to the
median barrier, we will not be modifying the barrier to include scuppers or openings for
wildlife.

COMMENT LETTER #3. DAVID WOODWORTH (September 13, 2016)
Comment 3-1: Mr. Woodworth, a Concord resident living in the Canyon Creek
neighborhood adjacent to the Concord Pavilion, comments that he is strongly against
the construction of any more traffic lanes on Kirker Pass Road in either direction. Mr.
Woodworth notes that Kirker Pass Road is already congested with traffic from
commuters of neighboring cities using Kirker Pass Road as an alternative to State Route
4 and the addition of lanes will only entice more people to cut through the City of
Concord causing more congestion. Mr. Woodworth further notes that the traffic noise
from Kirker Pass Road is already loud, and with more traffic and more construction the
noise would only increase. Mr. Woodworth notes that he frequently uses the
northbound direction of Kirker Pass Road to access Pittsburg and Antioch and does not
believe the truck traffic is an issue that requires a new traffic lane, and that he rarely
sees any congestion caused by the slow moving trucks as there are ample opportunities
to safely pass.
Response:
Traffic Congestion: The Kirker Pass Northbound Truck Climbing Lane Project is intended
to improve safety rather than increase capacity. The project will add a northbound truck
climbing lane to improve safety related to slow-moving trucks. With approximately
18,000 vehicles per day traveling along Kirker Pass Road and steep grades of
approximately 10%, truck traffic contributes to congestion along the roadway. The
proposed truck climbing lane is less than one mile in length and will remove trucks from
the travel lanes in order to reduce conflicts between slow moving trucks and high speed
passenger cars.
Traffic Noise: As discussed in Section XII. Noise of the IS/MND, noise modeling was
conducted by Illingworth & Rodkin (December 2015) for operational impacts as well as
project construction impacts. According to the results of the noise modeling, the
project’s operational noise is expected to be the same under a future build and future
no-build scenario (under both scenarios operational noise levels were estimated to
increase by 2 to 3 dBA Leq[h]). In other words, once completed, the project will not
increase ambient noise levels above what is expected to exist in the future without this
project. Further, an increase in noise of 3 dBA is just discernable to the human ear;
therefore, this increase in noise, regardless of the project, is not expected to be a
significant impact. Since no operational traffic noise impacts are anticipated, no noise
abatement measures are proposed.
Project construction would generate average noise levels that would exceed ambient
daytime noise levels by about 10 dBA Leq[h] for most construction phases (demolition,
earthwork, paving). Roadway construction activities typically occur for relatively short
periods of time as construction proceeds along the project’s alignment. Construction
noise is expected to be of primary concern where noise levels from individual pieces of

equipment are substantially higher than ambient conditions, or when construction
activities would occur during noise-sensitive early morning, evening, or nighttime hours.
Construction of the project is primarily anticipated to occur during daytime hours;
however, there may be times when nighttime work is required. To reduce the potential
for noise impacts resulting from project construction, the following noise reduction
measures were provided in the IS/MND as follows:
1. Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intake and exhaust
mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment.
2. Unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines within 100 feet of residences
should be strictly prohibited.
3. Locate stationary noise generating equipment as far as possible from sensitive
receptors.
4. Utilize ‘quiet’ air compressors and other ‘quiet’ equipment where such technology
exists.
5. Avoid staging of construction equipment within 200 feet of residences and locate
all stationary noise-generating construction equipment as far as practical from
noise sensitive receptors.
6. Require all construction equipment to conform to Section 14-8.02 Noise Control,
of the latest Standard Specifications.
7. Provide notification to the adjacent noise-sensitive receptors including the
specific construction schedule for major noise-generating construction activities.
In addition, the construction contractor will be required to obtain an encroachment
permit from the City of Concord Permit Center. That permit will address proposed
construction hours. Further, the project’s Resident Engineer will be available to answer
questions from the public about issues such as construction noise.
Comment 3-2: Mr. Woodworth notes that the money required for this project would
be much better spent repairing the crumbling roads throughout the City of Concord as
all the main streets are plagued with large cracks, potholes, and bumps.
Response: A portion of the project is within the City of Concord, with the remaining
length occurring within the unincorporated area. The project is County-sponsored and
the City of Concord is a project partner. The current funding sources for the project
include state and federal grants as well as local funding provided by the County. The
City of Concord is not contributing any funds that could be used for routine road
maintenance within the city limits.

understanding of the project’s footprint, the District was unable to assess what level of
impact the project may have on District lands and what, if any, impact the project may
have on ongoing restoration projects along the Kirker Pass corridor.
Response: Comment noted. The IS/MND that was posted on the Contra Costa County
Public Works Department and Department of Conservation and Development websites
was missing Figure 3 which showed the project footprint. Figure 3 and an additional
project footprint overview (“Overall Exhibit”) were provided to the District via email on
September 29, 2016. Subsequent correspondence from the District indicates that the
information provided has adequately addressed their concern (B. Holt, October 3,

Comment 5-2: The District inquires if this project requires the use of federal funding
and if so, the District requests review of the projects 4(f) analysis.
Response: The project requires use of federal funding. However, as shown in the
“Overall Exhibit” the project will not impact either of the District’s properties that adjoin
Kirker Pass Road as no proposed right-of-way takes or easements are proposed. Again,
subsequent correspondence from the District indicates that the information provided to

Title:
Kirker Pass Northbound Truck Climbing Lane
Project No. 0662-6R4052, CP# 15-04
Project Applicant: Contra Costa County Public Works Department
Project Location: Kirker Pass Road between Clearbrook Drive and the northern Hess Road intersection, Concord
Project Description: The Contra Costa County Public Works Department proposes to provide a truck climbing lane
along Kirker Pass Road between Clearbrook Drive in the City of Concord and the northernmost Hess Road
intersection. Kirker Pass Road is a four-lane principal arterial and route of regional significance between Central and
East Contra Costa County. The roadway connects the City of Concord on the southwest end, through the Meridian
Hills, to the City of Pittsburg on the northeast end. The purpose of the project is to provide a northbound truck
climbing lane and paved shoulders for future Class II bike lanes. The project is needed to improve safety for motorists
and bicyclists along this stretch of road. The road is frequently used by commuters and has heavy truck traffic. With
sustained grades steeper than 8 percent, trucks are unable to match the speed of other vehicles on the roadway,
causing significant congestion and creating a safety hazard. Project elements will include roadway widening for the
truck climbing lane, paved shoulders for future Class II bike lanes, relocation of drainage features, retaining wall
construction; installation of signage and striping; construction of two bioretention areas; roadway conforms due to
change in grade; and relocation of other existing roadside features. An open grade asphalt concrete overlay will be
placed on the southbound and northbound lanes as part of the project within the project limits. Construction is
expected to begin in 2018 and may require two construction seasons. Standard construction equipment will be used,
including but not limited to: excavators, graders, scrapers, loaders, sweepers/scrubbers, plate compactors, rollers,
backhoes, cranes, drill rigs, and pavers. Construction activities will generally be limited to the hours between 7:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with noise-generating activities focused between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; however, there will be
limited night work as necessary. Disturbed areas will be stabilized following construction to ensure appropriate erosion
and sediment control. Real Property transactions, including right-of-way acquisition may be necessary in support of
this project. The City of Concord has determined that the project complies with their General Plan.
The project was approved on:

LAUNCHING THE 2018 "CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CARES" HOLIDAY FOOD FIGHT
WHEREAS, the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, which originated as a Contra
Costa County project, works heroically on the front line of the daily effort to address
this issue, providing food to 122,000 residents of Contra Costa County on a monthly
basis, a number that has slightly increased since last year; and
WHEREAS, one in eight people in this County need the Food Bank’s assistance at this
time; and
WHEREAS, climate, housing shortages, and other societal pressures create extra
demands on the Food Bank’s budget, due to reduced access to fresh produce, as well
as the necessity to serve people needing extra help to make ends meet and navigate
their changing situations; and
WHEREAS, the Food Bank is enabled, by our monetary donations, to purchase and
distribute fresh produce, which makes up nearly 60% of everything they dispense to
our neighbors; and
WHEREAS, approximately 7,000 employees of Contra Costa County, in virtually every
department, have since 2002 been holding this annual drive to serve the residents of
Contra Costa County who are in need of a helping hand, and have themselves in that
time span raised $1.3 million in this effort; and
WHEREAS, the 2018 Counties Care - Holiday Food Fight will take place between
November 19 and December 31, 2018; and
WHEREAS, County employees encourage the public to participate in the “2018 Counties
Care - Holiday Food Fight” between the employees of Contra Costa and Solano
counties by donating generously and often to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and
Solano online in a corresponding “people-to-people” challenge;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County hereby
recognizes this great and constant need in the community, and commends, encourages, and challenges
employees and residents of Contra Costa and Solano counties to open their hearts and wallets to assist the
Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano and its client organizations during the coming holiday season; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County hereby officially
continues the annual challenge with Solano County and kicks off the “2018 Counties Care - Holiday Food
Fight”; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County hereby
encourages all citizens of Contra Costa and Solano counties to extend the generous holiday spirit
throughout the year to help those less fortunate.

meeting act errors, and loss of interest among some of the membership.
In February 2018, IOC staff presented five recommendations to address the problems identified by some of
the former and current Commission members. The Committee generally concurred with staff's
recommendations and preliminarily recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the size of the
Commission be reduced from 20 to 15 members to improve cohesion and also the probability of achieving a
meeting quorum. The Board approved this recommendation on April 24, 2018. Assuming the Commission

November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 460
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
would thus be able to convene proper meetings, the IOC requested the Commission to consider the
remaining CAO recommendations and possible bylaws update, and report back to the IOC in October.
The Commission website is not up-to-date. According to their minutes, they last met on May 18, 2018
(http://www.womenscommission.com/agenda.html ). The Clerk's Office was unable to find any agenda
or announcement of a May 18 Commission meeting. Also, according to the minutes from each of the
2018 meetings, the Commission appears to have met without a quorum of members present. The May
18 Commission minutes indicate that some discussion occurred regarding the recommended bylaw
changes, but there is no further information in the minutes.
The Commission for Women has a small group of very devoted members who try to keep the
Commission moving forward. However, they currently do not have enough members to do their
business. In April of this year, the Board of Supervisors reduced the Commission's membership size
from 20 seats down to 15 to assist them in achieving a meeting quorum, which is now 8. Even with the
5-seat reduction, the Commission appears to be struggling to achieve a quorum. Last month, the Board
accepted another resignation from the Commission.
To assist the Commission in achieving a quorum so that it can meet and recruit additional members, we
recommend that the Board appoint Ms. Mims, Ms. Macias-Carlos, and Ms. Brown to At Large seats on
the Commission. Upon appointment of these individuals, the Commission will have four remaining
vacancies.

Beyond personal qualifications, the focus and mission of the Commision for Women is one that is truly
near and dear to my heart. As a first-generation college and master's graduate of immigrant working-class
family, raised by a single mother I first hand have experience the barriers and issues women face today in
society. Professionally I have always focused my efforts on empowering California's working families
which tend to majority be a household where women are the sole providers. Through my master's
program, I understood the power government has not only in shaping local policy but the opportunities
they hold when inclusion and representation are exercised. I believe that my unique background makes
me an ideal candidate for the Women's Commission in Contra Costa.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPOINT Joan M. D'Onofrio to the At Large 3 seat and Lanita L. Mims to the At Large 4 seat on the Arts
and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5), as recommended by the Family and Human
Services Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Arts and Culture Commission advises the Board of Supervisors in matters and issues relevant to Arts
and Culture, to advance the arts in a way that promotes communication, education, appreciation and
collaboration throughout Contra Costa County; to preserve, celebrate, and share the arts and culture of the
many diverse ethnic groups who live in Contra Costa County; to create partnerships with business and
government; to increase communications and understanding between all citizens through art. Most
importantly, the Commission will promote arts and culture as a vital element in the quality of life for all of
the citizens of Contra Costa County. AC5 is composed of one representative from each of the five
supervisorial districts, four at-large representatives, and one alternate, for a total of ten seats. Appointments
are for a four-year period with terms expiring on June 30 of alternating odd numbered years.

November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 482
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
There are currently three vacant seats on AC5: two At-Large, and one Alternate. At their October
meeting, AC5 voted to nominate Joan M. D'Onofrio to At-Large seat 3 and Lanita L. Mims to At-Large
seat 4, with terms expiring June 30, 2021. Including these two new appointments, at least one AC5
commissioner would reside in each of the County's five districts. At the October 22, 2018 Family and
Human Services Committee, these appointment recommendations were approved.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The seats will remain vacant, AC5 will not be able to benefit from the contributions of the two new
members, and it will be harder to meet quorum to conduct business.

Art is all around us. It is virtually in every facet of society. Everything we see, touch, and feel was
designed or conceived of by someone with an interest in and talent for art. Whether visually or digitally
created, it starts with the ideas of the individual and is especially important for our children because that is
where it all begins. I would like to be a part of promoting, developing, and encouraging our educators,
students, and our citizens to understand the importance of art in their lives and know that someone
created it and the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County supports it.

BACKGROUND:
FACT was established in 1982 by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to make funding
recommendations on the allocation of a variety of funds for prevention and intervention services to reduce
child abuse and neglect, provide supportive services to families and children, and promote a more
coordinated, seamless system of services for families. Funding for FACT supported projects derived from
Federal and State program legislation, and donations to the County’s Family and Children’s Trust Fund.
Every two years, the members of the FACT establish a series of County priorities for the use of these funds
through review of existing data and reports and by holding Public Hearings in various areas of the county.
The Committee then develops a competitive bidding process to select non-profit, community-based
agencies that can best provide the services determined to be most important. Program recommendations

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No.5021 authorizing revenue in the
amount of $148,442 from accumulated depreciation to appropriate to purchase one

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5022 authorizing new revenue in the amount of
$124,000 to provide replacement and expansion of computer hardware equipment and software licenses for
Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES).
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases revenue and appropriations by $124,000. Funded by the Urban Areas Security
Initiative (UASI) 2017 grant. No change in Net County Cost.
BACKGROUND:
The Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) is a software application owned by
Contra Costa County, and used by the County and other law enforcement agencies to manage criminal
justice data collected from law enforcement agencies. ARIES manages the data provided by local law
enforcement agencies that is stored on the County servers. ARIES serves more than 9,106 users from over

for growing demand. Dell is the vendor who will supply the equipment to support these projects. Dell
has experience partnering with government agencies of all sizes to help deliver IT services that improve
delivery and reduce costs. In addition to Dell’s reputation amongst government agencies, the Office of
the Sheriff –Technical Services has a long history of working with the Dell’s equipment and
infrastructure environment. It would be to ARIES’ advantage to leverage the knowledge, skills and
experience that the Technical Services unit has accumulated over the years by working with Dell.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Continued use of the servers after its manufacturer’s warranty has expired introduces the greatest danger
to ARIES’ continuity. If parts fail, ARIES has no guarantee parts can be procured. Security exploits may
no longer be patched. Vendors may stop supporting and offering software that the equipment needs and
depends on. Due to these reasons and more, it’s critical to replace the current expired infrastructure.
The purpose of enhancing system redundancy is to duplicate the critical components of ARIES system
with the intention of increasing reliability of the servers. Currently there is no redundancy infrastructure
in place to protect ARIES from destructive activity. If this purchase is not approved, there is no plan in
place to ensure that essential data processing operational tasks can be conducted after the disruption and
unable to facilitate the rapid restoration of a data processing system following an interruption.

At present, Network Services has a great need for additional staff to provide County departments with
onsite technical support from local servers, desktops, laptops, printers, mobile devices, and shared

seeking to add and fill a position in the Network Services division of DoIT to be able to provide these

Based on the positions majority of duties assigned, the level of duties and responsibilities, DoIT is
requesting to add a Network Technician I (LNWA) position and cancel a vacant Network Administrator
I (LNSA) position #55.

Department, District III. (WLP128)
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 575
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% General Fund - Plant Acquisition (0111 - 4437)
BACKGROUND:
On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved a 10-year lease of a portion of the building
that is the headquarters for the Brentwood Police Department for use by the Sheriff – Coroner. The
Sheriff-Coroner intends to relocate its existing Oakley Substation to the leased space within the City’s
Police Department. The ability to share space with the City’s Police Department enables the
Sheriff-Coroner to accomplish a number of goals. First, the building’s location, in the center of East
County, increases the substation’s ability to respond to emergencies quickly. Second, the building
provides a level of security needed by law enforcement personnel that is very difficult to replicate in a
conventional leased facility. Finally, by co-locating within the City’s Police Department, the County
will have, in addition to exclusive use of the leased space, non-exclusive use of meeting rooms, the
kitchen area, the men’s and women’s locker rooms, the booking area and holding cells in the building.
These amenities make this space uniquely suited to the County’s needs and are not reflected in the
monthly payments to the City.
The Board initially approved $248,800 for tenant improvements for this project based on a budget
created in 2016. That budget estimate failed to consider a number of modifications required to convert
the leased space to County use. Due to the increased County investment in the leased space, the lease is
being amended to extend its term from ten years to twenty years, with two five-year extension options.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the lease amendment and the amended and restated work letter are not approved, the existing lease
may need to be terminated, resulting in a loss of the funds already expended and a less-than-optimal
location for the Sheriff’s substation in East County.

force, known as the California Oak Mortality Task Force (COMTF), that was formed to develop a
coordinated effort to address Phytophthora Ramorum (Sudden Oak Death). Due to CDFA's responsibility
under the COMTF and its statutory authority to establish quarantines, CDFA must enter into cooperative
agreements with impacted counties to comply with the requirements of Assembly Bill 62 (Migden).

Subject:Grant Submittal to the Caltrans Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program for the "Expedited Active
Transportation Infrastructure Plan"
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 602
BACKGROUND:
On October 5, 2018, Caltrans released final grant guidelines and a call for projects for the Caltrans
Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program. These planning grants will provide funding to support
regional sustainable communities strategies intended to achieve the State's greenhouse gas reductions
targets. This cycle is expected to include approximately $25 million in Senate Bill (“SB”) 1 statewide
competitive funding. The maximum grant award is $1 million and an 11.47% match is required (cash or
in-kind contribution). Applications are due November 30, 2018.
This Plan proposes to update and expand on the County's roadway network inventory for the purpose of
identifying near-term opportunities to upgrade existing facilities or implement new multi-modal
improvements. Improvements will be prioritized based on several factors, including but not limited to:
disadvantaged community status, cost, shovel-readiness, and availability of right-of-way. Prioritization will
also help the County deliver other projects and planning efforts more efficiently. The Plan will also develop
performance measures for post-project construction. Performance measures will provide real-time data on
the success of implemented projects in order to help guide future transportation decisions.
The Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee discussed this proposal at its October 8th meeting
and made the subject recommendation.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not authorizing staff to apply for and accept grant funding from Caltrans' Sustainable Communities Grant
will potentially delay progress on projects that would increase bicycle and pedestrian safety and mobility,
improve first/last-mile connections to transit, reduce traffic congestion, and improve air quality.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The proposed project supports Outcome 2 in the Contra Costa Children's Report Card: Youth Are Healthy
and Preparing for Adulthood: Physical Fitness.

County of San Francisco as the fiscal agent for the Bay Area Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The
County, as a member of the Bay Area UASI, will receive $687,830.00. Funds will be used to enhance
public safety capabilities of law enforcement agencies throughout the region. Expand existing systems to
participate in other state, regional, and national initiatives. Funding will also be used to purchase
Radiological Detection Identifiers, Mobile Repeater, EBRCS/VHF patching, satellite data/phone uplink
with backhaul capability. As the fiscal agent for the grant, the City and County of San Francisco has
developed a standard form contract for use with all Bay Area UASI partner agencies requiring full
indemnification of the City and County of San Francisco. The County has agreed to previous inter-agency
agreements with the City and County of San Francisco, which contained the same language, to participate
in regional homeland security efforts and access important Federal funding.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board decide not to approve entering into this agreement, the County will not receive its share of
the 2018 UASI Grant funds; risk management and planning to increase regional response capability will
need to be either funded through another source or not performed.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
motor vehicle crimes.
The California Department of Justice has established the Remote Access Network (RAN), which is a
uniform statewide network of equipment and procedures allowing local law enforcement agencies direct
access to the Cal-ID System. The Contra Costa County local RAN board determines the placement of RAN
equipment within the County, and coordinates the acceptance, delivery, and installation of RAN equipment.
Acting as the local RAN board, mobile fingerprint identification hardware has been distributed to local law
enforcement agencies within the County pursuant to the criteria specified in the Penal Code.
Under this contract, additional mobile fingerprint devices, software, implementation services, and software
support services are being purchased so that local law enforcement agencies can connect to the Cal-ID
system while in the field.
The Cogent Gemalto Mobile Identification (Mobile ID) solution provides a system that manages the
transactions of mobile fingerprint captures from the field. The system will manage searches of the local
Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) as well as the California Department of Justices’
(Cal-DOJ) AFIS and Federal Bureau of Investigations’ (FBI) Repository for Individuals of Special Concern
(RISC) databases. The mobile identification devices and software bring the power of a full-scale AFIS to
officers’ hands while in the field for all agencies within Contra Costa, to provide fast, accurate identity
verification, arrest records, and warrant information on subjects contacted in the field. The contract
extension is necessary for project completion. The Department of Justice is implementing the same project
and it needs to be completed before the County's project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Office of the Sheriff is not allowed to extend the contract term the project will not be completed.

not be able to pay the third year of support, thus will not receive critical software updates.

BACKGROUND
For the past two years, the Section 8 Office Building, located at 2870 Howe Road in Martinez, has been
experiencing roof leaks and HVAC problems. The roof leaks, which have been increasing in frequency
and severity, have been temporarily addressed with patching and other repairs. However, the roofing and
the HVAC units installed on the roof are both at the end of their useful lives and require permanent
replacement. In addition, there is dry rot damage underneath the roofing that is in need of prompt repair.
Starting with drawings and specifications developed by staff, HACCC solicited a quote for the roof and
HVAC replacement work from Garland/DBS, Inc. (Garland), piggy-backing off of an existing Master
Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement between Garland and Cobb County, GA and U.S.
Communities (MICPA #14-5903). On September 27, 2018, Garland submitted a proposal to perform the
roof and HVAC replacement project for $749,459, which includes Add Alt 1 (provide mechanical and
structural engineering) and Add Alt 2 (install split-system heat pump in upstairs office). Staff has
reviewed the bid price, which reflects the same pricing as the Master Agreement, and is satisfied it is a
reasonable price for the substantial work involved. As a part of their proposal, Garland also submitted
drawings, specifications, details, and reports prepared by qualified engineers and other experts detailing
the requirements for the roof and HVAC replacement project.
To enable the roof and HVAC replacement project to be completed this construction season before the
rainy season shuts down construction, the Executive Director recommends that the Board take the
following actions:
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 679
(1) Approve the project design, plans, and specifications, which approval will give design immunity to
the Housing Authority.
(2) Determine that the roof and HVAC replacement project qualifies as a ministerial exemption under
Section 21080(b)(1) of the Public Resources Code and Article 18, Section 15268 of the Guidelines for
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). See the Notice of Exemption attached to this Board
order.
(3) Award the construction contract for the above project to Garland for $749,459, direct the Executive
Director to prepare the contract, and authorize the Executive Director to sign the contract following his
review and approval of the signed contract, bonds, and insurance from Garland.
(4) Take the additional related actions listed in the Recommended Actions above.
FISCAL IMPACT
The construction contract will be funded 100% by HUD.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Should the Board not award the construction contract, as recommended, the roofing and HVAC
equipment at 2870 Howe Road, Martinez will remain in marginal condition, with the potential for
additional leakage and damage, employee discomfort, and interference with HACCC operations during
the upcoming rainy season.

Karen Ross, Secretary
California Department of Food and Agriculture and
The Honorable Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County
I am pleased to submit the 2017 Agricultural Crop Report for Contra Costa County in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2272 and 2279 of the California Food and
Agricultural Code.
The total gross value of agricultural crops in 2017 was $120,441,000 which is a decrease of
$7,615,000 or 6% from 2016. In general, demand and prices have remained strong for
agricultural crops in Contra Costa County.
Crop values vary from year to year due to factors such as production, weather, and market
conditions. Some notable changes include an 31% increase in nursery product value and a
significant decrease of 43% of field crop values. Livestock and livestock product values
remained largely unchanged with a small increase in production values of almost
$1,000,000. Approximately 2.5% or 4,861 acres of the total cultivated acreage was farmed
organically on 15 farms.
Several crop categories exceeded one million dollars in value. These categories in
decreasing order include cattle and calves, tomatoes, sweet corn, grapes, miscellaneous
vegetables, cherries, rangeland, walnuts, irrigated pasture, field corn, peaches and alfalfa
hay.
It should be emphasized that the values stated in this report are gross receipts and do not
include the cost of production, transportation, or marketing of the products. The economic
benefit of agricultural production is generally thought to be about three times the gross
production value.
I truly appreciate the agricultural producers and organizations that shared information and
supported our efforts in completing this report. Special recognition goes to all of the staff
who assisted in compiling this information to make this report possible.
Respectfully Submitted,
Humberto Izquierdo

Asparagus in Contra Costa County
Asparagus has a long history in Contra Costa County. It was first planted in the 1850’s in the San Joaquin Delta region of California,
where it flourished in the peat soils. This relatively salt tolerant crop grows well when there is a high water table and soil rich in
organic matter. The earliest county crop report of 1939 stated an asparagus cultivation area of 7,100 acres.
Harvesting and packing asparagus, which produces spears between February and May, are very labor intensive. Asparagus is
capable of growing three to six inches on a warm day, and produces market-ready spears in a 24-hour period. During the prime
growth season, workers must hand-harvest the asparagus every day for market.
The decline of the asparagus industry in California is closely tied to the high harvest and post-harvest labor requirements. About
75% of the cost of asparagus production is due to labor costs1. Rising wage requirements, combined with an overall shortage of
farm workers, have made it difficult to hire workers able to harvest and pack the asparagus. At the same time, changing market
forces have led to an influx of cheap imported asparagus. In the past, the US applied a 25% tariff on imported asparagus between
February and June, which protected the California asparagus industry from cheaper asparagus grown in countries with lower labor
costs. The loss of this protection, combined with rising labor costs, have resulted in an increase in imported asparagus from 10.8%
of US consumption in 1980 to 91.2% in 20151.
Today, there is one asparagus grower left in Contra Costa County who sells solely at the Certified Farmers’ Markets. While the total
acreage in asparagus production has dwindled to less than fifty acres, those lucky enough to find the asparagus at their local
Farmers’ Market can still taste the fresh asparagus once common to the Delta region.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/551 implementing Revenue and Taxation Code section 5105 in the County
for all property tax refunds that are not based on an underlying application for changed assessment,
authorizing the Auditor-Controller to issue property tax refunds under five thousand dollars ($5,000)
without a claim for refund in such cases, when there has been no transfer of the property during or since the
fiscal year for which the taxes subject to refund were levied.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the resolution is intended to reduce administrative costs required to process property tax
refunds of less than $5,000, but may result in an increase in refunds.
BACKGROUND:
It is not uncommon for property tax payments to be duplicated or overpaid by a homeowner and/or lender,
especially when an impound account exists. Property taxes are also sometimes overpaid because of a
reduction in the assessed value of a property, or the special taxes

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
or levies relating to the property after a property tax bill has been paid. In such cases, a property tax
refund may be appropriate.
Property tax law generally requires that a refund only be made pursuant to a claim for refund. Senate Bill
1246, which adds Revenue and Taxation Code section 5105, effective January 1, 2019, allows refunds of
under $5,000 to be issued without a claim for refund where there has been no transfer of the property
during or since the fiscal year for which the taxes subject to the refund were levied. The board of
supervisors of a county must adopt a resolution to implement the provisions of Section 5105.
Adoption of the Resolution will implement Revenue and Taxation Code section 5105 in the County,
except where the refund of property taxes is connected with an underlying application for changed
assessment. In such cases, claim for refund must be filed before property taxes may be refunded.
By streamlining the property tax refund process, implementation of Section 5105 allows the
Auditor-Controller and the Treasurer-Tax Collector to expedite property tax refunds to taxpayers.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to take the recommended action will prevent the County from recognizing the processing
efficiencies that may be achieved through this new law.

without a verified claim for refund if there has been no transfer of the property in the fiscal year that the taxes were levied

C.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
The Board hereby resolves to implement Revenue and Taxation Code section 5105 in the County for property tax refunds that are

County
Subject:Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 732
BACKGROUND:
In November 2017, the County submitted an application to the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation
District (LAFCO) to dissolve the Los Medanos Community Healthcare District (District). On July 10,
2018, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution amending its original application to LAFCO to
include a plan for providing comprehensive health-related services within the District’s territory. As part
of that amended application, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2018/436, which created the Los
Medanos Health Advisory Committee. The Board formed the committee to identify health disparities
within the District’s borders and to make recommendations related to a grant program to be conducted in
the District’s territory. The committee consisted of five members. The formation of the committee was
contingent upon the dissolution of the District
The County’s amended application was considered by LAFCO on September 12, 2018. The LAFCO
Commission voted unanimously to approve the County’s application with the following three conditions:
1. The number of members on the Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee is to be increased from five
to seven.
2. At least 85% of the tax revenue received by the County from the relevant property tax increment is to
be expended on programs and grants in the District’s territory.
3. If the real property currently owned by the District is sold or otherwise transferred by the County, any
profits generated by such sale or transfer are to be directed to healthcare-related service programs within
the District’s territory.
The only LAFCO condition that requires Board action at this time is to increase the number of members
on the Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee. Resolution No. 2018/543 establishes a seven-member
committee consisting of the following members:
Two members nominated by the City of Pittsburg
Two members nominated by the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Committee
One member nominated by the County’s Public Health Division
One member nominated by the County’s Behavioral Health Division
One member nominated by the Board of Supervisors, based on a recommendation
from the Internal Operations Committee of a resident of Pittsburg or Bay Point (an
at-large representative)
Resolution No. 2018/543 supersedes Resolution No. 2018/436.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The membership of the Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee will not be consistent with a LAFCO
condition of approval of the County’s application to dissolve the Los Medanos Community Healthcare
District.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.

News /Accomplishments
CSB received a visit form Sarah Neville-Morgan, Director of State Dept. of Ed ucation
Early Learning and Care Division (EELCD) and Stephanie Myers from the State Head Start
Collaboration Office. The visit was conducted at our George Miller III center in
Richmond. Staff shared challenges such as staffing shortages and retention and facility
needs. Sarah shared her vision of realizing the EELCD Strategic Plan just developed.
October is Head Start Awareness Month and CSB will showcase artwork, storyboards
and pictures of children engaged in activities at the Board of Supervisors Chambers to
raise awareness to Head Start and the important impact it has in the community. Art
pieces will be on display at 651 Pine Street in Martinez from October 1-27, 2018.
The Program Information Report (PIR) was reviewed and submitted to the Office of
Head Start. The report validates all of the important services that the Head Start
program provides to families. Gathering and compiling this information for a program as
large as CSB can be a challenge, but is accomplished through the collaborative efforts of
many dedicated staff. For more information, please refer to attachments 11-15 of this
report.
Policy Council Orientation for newly elected representatives was held September 29th at
the Crown Plaza Hotel. The agenda include d an overview of the Community Services; a
fiscal overview; a thorough overview of the Policy Council and shared decision making;
presentations from past parents on roles & responsibilities of representatives and
Executive Officers; the Brown Act & Better Governance Ordinance (Parliamentary
Procedures); and an overview of Head Start Performance Standards.
CSB has developed a wellness team to fully implement the Staff Health Improvement
Plan, or SHIP. Earlier this year, the team went to UCLA to attend the UCLA and Johnson
& Johnson Building Healthy Communities conference that focused on addressing staff
wellness in Head Start programs, and where the SHIP was initially developed. After
several assessments, the team has defined the goal for the SHIP to be the following: to
holistically improve staff wellness within CSB as well as in the community by focusing on
these three primary areas: 1) Organizational supports 2) Nutrition and physical activit y
and 3) Stress management. Our wellness team has also partnered with Contra Costa
County’s Health Services to develop a wellness initiative, which will help carry out the
aforementioned goal, and has already begun leading some of our physical activities a t
our meetings.
On September 19, all of CSB’s Managers and Site Supervisors attended a Chronological
Supervision training. The purpose of the training was to provide staff with a refresher on
CSB’s system for supervising staff . This year’s training included wellness & team building
activities. Participants were actively engaged and shared positive feedback from this half
day training.
CSB’s Teacher Apprenticeship Program, or TAP, is in its 2nd year with 14 participants in
the 2nd cohort for the 2018-2019 program year. The participants, 12 of whom are

Teacher Assistant Trainees, and two of whom are permanent Associate Teachers, are
looking to obtain infant and toddler units. TAP, in partnership with Contra Costa College
and the YMCA, is a professional development program designed mainly for our teacher
assistants endeavoring to advance their Early Childhood Education (ECE) career; it’s 32
weeks long and offers four ECE courses, and develops participants’ professional
knowledge, skills and practices working with young children. Upon successful
completion of the program, they become eligible to apply for the California Associate
Teacher Permit issued by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
CSB’s ability to provide and expand dental services for childr en in need continues. The
Life Long Dental Van is providing services in West County and the La Clinica Dental Van
is providing services in East County.
CSB congratulates Sarah Reich, Pam Arrington, Isabel Renggenathen and Carolyn
Johnson for completing the EHSD Leadership Academy. The graduation, which was held
September 19, 2018, was attend by several of CSB’s senior managers. The group was
proud to celebrate with all of the graduates, and acknowledged them for all of their
hard work over the past 9-months. Great work!
Vehicle and Pedestrian Safety booklets were distributed to CSB directly operated and
partner centers to support the annual center based Pedestrian Safety training offered to
our families during the month of September.
Three additional staff will attend the Make Parenting a Pleasure training in Oregon on
October 18-19, 2018. Additional trainers will allow CSB to expand this popular research
and evidence based parent curriculum to central Contra Costa County parents and
caregivers.
CSB is moving along with the implementation of the Teaching Pyramid project for the
preschool classrooms. The second cohort, which consist of four teaching teams from
Lavonia Allen, GMC and Balboa along with their Site Supervisors and Education
Managers, will be attend a series of trainings offered by the First 5 CCC in Concord
starting on October 20, 2018. Each classroom will also receive coaching support by a
certified Teaching Pyramid Coach and support from the CSB Leadership team .
On September 4, Head Start teachers welcomed part-day/part year families back to
program.
First Baptist Head Start, CSB’s Delegate Agency, has just hired a new Executive Director,
Monique Nervis. Monique comes to the job with a Bachelor’s degree in Human
Development and Family Studies with a minor in Early Childhood Education and a
Master’s in Public Administration. We are delighted to have her join our team.

c. Union Issues:
o The negotiations between PEU Local 1 and CSB for 2018-2019 wage
increases ended successfully. The union ratified the 3% COLA increase
for 2018-2019.
II. Emerging Issues and Hot Topics:
CSB is celebrating the governor’s signature of AB 605, the 0-5 integrated
licensing bill. This will allow programs to apply for a 0-5 license rather than
multiple licenses depending on ages served. This is a win for the field and has
been in the making for more than two years.
CSB continues to work with Public Works in locating an alternate space for CSB’s
central kitchen. Two locations in Richmond and San Pablo are being looked at .

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the delegation of authority to the County Treasurer for investing and reinvesting County funds
and the funds of other depositors in the County treasury, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased,
pursuant to section 53607 of the State Government Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County Treasurer manages and invests the funds of all County agencies, 21 Special Districts, 19 School
Districts and one Community College District. Centralizing this function creates a dedicated staff of
investment professionals and creates greater efficiency, economies of scale and greater investment power.
BACKGROUND:
State law provides that the Board of Supervisors may delegate to the County Treasurer the authority "to
invest or to reinvest funds of a local agency, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased" for a one year
period. It is recommended that this delegation be renewed through the calendar year 2019.

County
Subject:Declare a shelter crisis pursuant to Government Code 8698.2 and submit an application for HEAP funds
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 770
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In order to receive HEAP funding, applicants must: 1) Declare a shelter crisis pursuant to Chapter 7.8
(commencing with Section 8698) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code; and 2) Provide
evidence of a collaborative process. In order to receive funds in this first round of funding, applicants
must apply by December 31, 2018. Contra Costa CoC will submit its application by early December
2018 to ensure consideration in Round 1.
HEAP funding is intended to support CoCs and large cities in addressing the state’s homelessness crisis.
Contra Costa CoC is eligible to receive $7,196,770 based on its 2017 point-in-time count total homeless
population and its 2017 share of the overall state’s homeless population. Five percent of HEAP funding
($359,838) is allocated by state statute to address youth experiencing or at-risk of experiencing
homelessness. Five percent of funds will also be utilized for administrative costs. H3, as the CoC
applicant, will receive Contra Costa’s allocation of HEAP funding and is working with jurisdictions to
ensure that funding is distributed across the entire county and is allocated according to current need.
In order to expand homelessness services across the County, the Contra Costa CoC proposes allocating
HEAP funding to implement interventions that build on the best-practices and current CoC efforts. The
Contra Costa CoC determined to allocate funds based on region in order to match funding with need.
Utilizing the most recent 2018 unsheltered point-in-time count numbers, regional allocations will be
made accordingly:
West County: $1.36 million (21% of the County’s unsheltered population)
Central County: $2.2 million (34% of the County’s unsheltered population)
East County: $2.9 million (45% of the County’s unsheltered population)
A local collaborative application process to determine how HEAP funds will be utilized in the CoC was
undertaken in October 2018 and involved a series of community meetings by region, along with a
meeting focused specifically on how to allocate the youth funding. These meetings were designed to
engage community members in how each region’s allocation should be spent and build consensus on
which interventions are a top priority for addressing homelessness in the region.
Following the community meetings, the Ad Hoc Funding Committee of Contra Costa’s Council on
Homelessness, which is the CoC’s governing board, met to review the proposed interventions for youth
and each region. The committee will offer an official recommendation to the Council on Homelessness
for their consideration and approval at their November 1, 2018 meeting. There is no indication that
declaring a shelter crisis will trigger any other requirements from the State at this time.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contra Costa County will not receive the estimated $7.19 million allocation from the State of California
to provide emergency housing and/or services to person who are homeless or at risk of becoming
homeless.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The State requires that a minimum of 5% of the HEAP funds are spent on housing and/or services for
youth. For Contra Costa, a minimum of $359,838 will be set aside and invested in a youth-specific
intervention.

Contra Costa Animal Services
September 2018
November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 777
It is our pleasure to present Contra Costa Animal Services’ (CCAS) annual
report for the Animal Benefit Fund (ABF). This report highlights the progress
we’ve made in strengthening and modernizing our ability to care for
animals in our shelters, driven by the generous contributions of individuals,
organizations and corporations in Contra Costa County and beyond.
The Animal Benefit Fund was established by the Contra Costa Board
of Supervisors in 1986 as a way to accept monetary donations from
compassionate individuals who want to help our shelter animals. All funds
are used to enhance the care and well-being of animals in our shelters and
to enhance programs of humane welfare and education for the residents of
Contra Costa County.
In FY 17/18, ABF funds were allocated to a range of projects and initiatives
geared towards enhancing the care and enrichment of our animals, as
well as supporting pet owners in Contra Costa County. Propelled by the
collective generosity of 2,527 donors who contributed $124,682, CCAS
made significant improvements in the areas of medical treatment and
support for animals, enabling families to retain their pets (thus keeping
them out of the shelter), augmenting spay and neuter services in the
County and amplifying awareness of CCAS and the importance of
licensing and microchipping.
The incredible amount of giving has allowed us to put ideas into action,
the results of which are highlighted throughout this report . To our donors,
we say, “Thank You” for believing in CCAS and for providing us the tools
necessary to impact and save even more lives.
Behind every number is a story. This report highlights a few of those that
touched and inspired us, and spurred us to action. For that, our thanks go
to the community, adopters, transfer partners, staff and volunteers who
either contributed to the fund, adopted an animal into their home or
organization, or who gave their time or talent to ensure the best outcomes
possible for the animals in our care. The heart-warming results you willread
about in this report are testament to the spirit of compassion, innovation
and hard work exhibited by CCAS in the last fiscal year.

In FY17/18, CCAS
significantly increased
the scope of the Animal
Benefit Fund’s spay and
neuter program, allocating
over $117,000 in funding to
increase opportunities for
low-cost spay and neuter
services in Contra Costa
County. Working with our
collaborative partners
Fix Our Ferals, Paw Fund
and Positively SAFE, the
fund provided over 1,200
low-cost spay and neuter
surgeries for animals that
may not have otherwise
been altered.

The CCAS/ARF Pet Retention
Program has become an
overwhelming success in
keeping animals out of Contra
Costa County shelters. In the
first two years of implementing
the program, animals coming
into CCAS via the owner
surrender pipeline have been
reduced by 50%. The reduction
in owner surrendered animals
allowed CCAS to clear up
much-needed kennel space
and increase departmental
capacity - allowing us to help
more people and animals. In
FY 17/18, over $30,000 was
allocated from the Animal
Benefit Fund to help keep over
100 animals in their loving
homes. Equally important,
in the second year of the
program’s operation, we were
able to identify the most
common themes that lead
people to surrender their pets,
allowing us to bolster our
existing resources in those
areas and seek new resources
to address issues, thus
creating a stronger program.
Beyond the statistical
successes enjoyed by the
program, the real measure of
success can be found in the
stories, photos and thank you
cards we receive from people
whom we’ve helped keep their
pet in their family.

The CCAS Bridge Program serves as a mechanism to assist our transfer partners in adopting
more animals, particularly those with medical issues. The financial assistance provided to transfer
partners through the Animal Benefit Fund’s Bridge Program helps to alleviate the costs of medical
and other services transfer partners incur as a result of pulling special needs animals. In FY 17/18,
over $43,000 was dedicated to assisting transfer partners in adopting over 50 special needs
animals from the Martinez and Pinole shelters.

The Panda Fund was created to provide medical services to animals in need that have conditions
beyond CCAS’ ability to treat. In FY 17/18, over $21,000 in Animal Benefit Fund support was
dedicated to the Panda Fund. The funding provided allowed CCAS to provide 22 animals with the
urgent medical care they needed. From providing urgent care to animals with severe trauma to
performing complicated surgeries to save the lives of animals in the hopes they will find their forever
homes, the Panda Fund has made a huge difference in CCAS’ ability to care for animals with severe
trauma and conditions.November 6, 2018 BOS Minutes 786

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 October 23, 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 to continue the declaration
of a local emergency regarding homelessness.
