RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER approving and authorizing an extension of temporary employement of retiree Elizabeth
Arbuckle through February 28, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Salary costs are included in the Department's operating budget. This is an extension of the service period,
with no change to the estimated labor cost of $25,000.
BACKGROUND:
Ms. Elizabeth Arbuckle retired from the Office of the Sheriff effective March 28, 2019 after holding the
position of Departmental Fiscal Officer within the Personnel and Finance Division since 2011. In that role,
Ms. Arbuckle was responsible for providing financial management of a $243 million department budget,
annual levies of police districts and zones, investments and other various required status reports.
On May 28, 2019, Ms. Arbuckle was hired as a temporary employee while the Office of the Sheriff was
recruiting to fill the vacant position of the Departmental Fiscal Officer. The position has since been filled
and Ms. Arbuckle currently continues to provide cross training and succession

September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 18
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
planning through the end of the term of this assignment, September 30. 2019.
Due to unexpected circumstances, the Supervising Accountant of the SO Fiscal Office will be out on
extended leave. Ms. Arbuckle, while employed by the Sheriff as the Fiscal Officer, was the direct
supervisor of the Supervising Accountant and has the knowledge and ability to perform these duties during
the absence.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to receive Board approval will result in a significant negative impact in the Office of the Sheriff's
Personnel and Finance Division's ability to provide financial management and other services for the
Department.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 19
RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or Designee, to execute contract renewals with the NonPERS
Medical, Dental, Vision, Computer Vision Care Program and Life Insurance Plan carriers, including new
Health Net medical plans for the period of January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Premiums for active, retired and survivor enrollees are funded by a combination of charges to County
Departments, Special Districts, and employee/retiree/survivor contributions. The fiscal impact is based on
projections of 2020 using 2019 census data with no adjustment for future migration between plans. The
2020 projected total premium cost for active employees is approximately $118.0 million; 2019 is expected
to reach $115.0 million by year end. The currently negotiated cost to the County is $99.9 million of that
total ($93.8 million in 2019). Due to negotiated increases in County subsidy for the majority of active
employees, the projected County cost increase for 2020 is more than the total increased premium cost.

contracts for group medical, dental, life insurance, voluntary vision insurance, as well as computer vision
care coverage, on an annual basis with a number of carriers/providers. The County's existing insurance
and coverage contracts are for the calendar year and expire December 31, 2019.
To assist the County in negotiating the best possible health care terms for our active and retired
employees, the County contracts with a consultant, who has expertise in public sector employee benefit
plan design and rate structure. All medical insurance contracts continue to offer essential medical
benefits and coverage compliant with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In 2018, the County received a formal request to bargain as a Union Coalition over healthcare by
AFSCME Local 512, AFSCME Local 2700, Contra Costa Public Defenders Association, Deputy
District Attorneys Association, IFPTE Local 21, Physicians & Dentists Organization of Contra Costa,
Public Employees Union Local 1, SEIU Local 1021, and Western Council of Engineers. The County
agreed to discuss the issue in the context of a contract extension. Like the Coalition, the County wanted
to explore options that would meet the needs of our employees and provide financial stability for the
County.
After successful bargaining, the County and Union Healthcare Coalition reached agreement on changes
to healthcare subsidies described below. Additionally, agreement was reached to expand the purview of
the Joint Labor/Management Benefit Committee. The agreement was to work together as equal partners
to 1) identify a new medical plan carrier to replace Health Net, 2) explore the costs of other plan options
as possible future replacements with the goal of beginning with the 2020 plan year (any replacement
plans selected must not increase the County’s retiree health costs):
The new medical plan carrier that will replace Health Net must include an HMO
plan and one plan providing out-of-network provider coverage. All nine (9)
Coalition Union/Association representatives on the Benefit Committee and the
County have agreed on the new medical plan carrier to replace Health Net, the new
medical plan will replace Health Net for all Coalition Unions/Associations the
following January 1.
Each year, County will coordinate a team composed of the County, the County’s
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 21
Each year, County will coordinate a team composed of the County, the County’s
benefits consultant, and Union/Association Benefit Committee representatives, to
work as equal partners to provide input for the annual negotiations with the medical
plan providers over the plan premiums for the next plan year. The team will have
authority to make information requests, request and observe presentations by the
County’s healthcare consultant regarding premium rates and ask questions, and help
guide the strategy of the County in the annual negotiations.
County and Unions/Associations of the Coalition will jointly work to educate
employees regarding the cost benefits of lower cost plans, including the Kaiser High
Deductible Health Plan.
County and Union/Association Benefit Committee representatives will jointly work
as equal partners to seek plan design changes across all plans that would reduce
costs and improve quality of care.
On December 4, 2018, the County adopted Resolution No. 2018/576 approving Side Letters between the
County of Contra Costa and AFSCME Local 512, AFSCME Local 2700, IFPTE Local 21, Public
Employees Union Local 1, SEIU Local 1021, and Western Council of Engineers providing, for MOU
extensions, wages, healthcare, and reopener. Subsequently, the County reached similar agreement with
the Contra Costa Public Defenders Association, the Deputy District Attorneys Association, Teamsters
856, and the DSA Probation and Probation Supervisors Units. the County is currently in negotiations
with the Physicians and Dentists Organization of Contra Costa County.
As the result of the exhaustive work of the JLMBC over eight months, there will be new medical plans
available for the majority of County employees and all non-PERS retirees through Health Net as of
January 2020. The new Health Net plans have a revised “narrow network” provider list and modified
plan design, resulting in reduced premiums compared to the existing Health Net plans .
Beginning January 1, 2020, the County subsidy, for the majority of employees eligible for NonPERS
medical plans, will be an amount up to 75% of the second lowest priced non-deductible HMO plan for
Employee and Employee +1, and 76.5% for Employee +2 or more. Based on the 2020 proposed rates,
CCHP Plan A will be used for subsidy calculations:
Coverage Type CCHP Plan A
Premium %County Subsidy
Employee Only $892.18 75%$669.14
Employee +1 $1,784.34 75%$1,338.26
Employee +2/More $2,676.54 76.5%$2,047.55
In order to ensure uninterrupted coverage for enrolled members (eligible active employees, retired
employees and survivors of retired employees) staff requests authorization from the Board of
Supervisors to renew existing insurance coverage and implement the new Health Net plan at the rates
provided in the Attachment. The chart reflects the different premium structures - either Two Tier or
Three Tier - based on what has been negotiated with various bargaining groups. Rate sheets, by
bargaining group for actives and retirees, for the 2020 plan year reflecting County subsidies and
employee/retiree costs will be available within the next two weeks. These sheets will be posted on the
Employee Benefit website.
In summary for 2020, there will be new narrow network medical plans offered by Health Net, an
increase of 1% will be applied to the Delta PPO premium equivalency and the Computer Vision Care
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 22
(CVC) Plan premium will decrease. There is no increase to Supplemental & Basic Life insurance, the
Delta Care HMO plan premiums or the VSP Voluntary Vision plan.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
In order to prevent the disruption of services for group benefits that are offered to eligible employees,
retirees and dependents, it is necessary to execute contract renewals prior to open enrollment which is
planned for October 2019 for the 2020 plan year. Additionally, Government Code Section 31692
requires that the County notify retirees of any proposed changes 90 days before the beginning of the
plan year. If new plans are to be added, these time restrictions require adoption of rates in September
2019

FISCAL IMPACT:
The applicant has paid the necessary application deposit, and is obligated to pay supplemental fees to
cover all additional costs associated with the application process.
BACKGROUND:
Project Summary:
The Ball Estates major subdivision project includes a phased vesting tentative map to subdivide an
approximately 61-acre site into 35 residential lots, three open space lots (Parcels A, B, C), and a staging
area on Lot 21. The construction of roads, utilities, and ancillary services associated with the residential
lots is included in the project, as well as the demolition of two existing residences, office buildings, and
auxiliary structures. The project includes a tree permit for the removal of approximately 469 trees and
proposed impact to an additional 205 trees. Exceptions to certain Title 9 requirements are also included
in the project. The project also includes a development agreement between the County and the applicant
for the project.
County Planning Commission Hearing
The project was heard before the County Planning Commission on August 14, 2019. During the public
hearing, testimony was accepted from the applicant and members of the public. After accepting
testimony and closing the public hearing for the project, the County Planning Commission passed a
motion (4-1) to approve the subdivision (#SD13-9338) which included a recommendation that the Board
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 28
of Supervisors adopt the development agreement prepared for the project. The Planning Commission's
motion also included modifications to the conditions of approval. No appeal was filed on the subdivision
approval.
Development Agreement
The applicant has submitted a request for approval of a Development Agreement between the County
and DWB Property, LLC, et al. A few of the applicant's primary goals for requesting the proposed
development agreement are to ensure the ability to proceed with development of the property in
accordance with applicable law in effect at the time of approval, to reduce economic risk , and to provide
procedural guidance for all parties in relation to the more unique elements of the project (e.g. indemnity
agreement, maintenance agreement, developer funding obligation, etc.).The proposed development
agreement also includes a commitment by DWB Property, LLC, et al. to pay the County $50,000 for use
towards reviewing and considering an update to the County's tree ordinance, Chapter 816-6 of the
County Ordinance Code. The development agreement will have a 15-year term. The development
agreement extends the term of the vesting tentative map through the term of the development
agreement. The term may be extended due to an "enforced delay," or tolled due to a third-party lawsuit,
initiative, or referendum. The development agreement and Ordinance No. 2016-26 are attached.
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the project, certify the environmental impact
report, adopt Ordinance No. 2019-26 approving this development agreement for the project, and take the
other actions set forth above. An electronic copy of the environmental impact report is available at
www.cccounty.us/ballestates. A copy of the environmental impact report may be viewed at the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors' office.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
In the event that the Board does not adopt the development agreement, there will be no development
agreement between the applicant and the County and the provisions of the agreement will have no effect
including extending the life of the vesting tentative map 15 years, instead of the normal three years as
allowed by County code which could be extended as provided for within California Subdivision Map Act.

FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AS APPROVED BY THE COUNTY
PLANNING COMMISSION ON AUGUST 14, 2019
A. CEQA FINDINGS
1. The Contra Costa County Planning Commission adopts the following findings
for certification of the EIR and approval of the Ball Estates project, pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act, California Public Resources Code,
Sections 21000, et seq. the Guidelines for Implementati on of CEQA, Title 14 of
the Californi a Code of Regulati ons, Sections 1 5000, et seq. ("CEQA
Guidelines") and the County's CEQA Guidelines.
2. Pursuant to the Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guideli nes
Section 15901, no public agency shall approve and carry out a project where
an Environmental Impact Report (the "ElR") has been certified, which
identifies one or more significant impacts on the environment that would
occur if the project is approved, unless the public agency makes one or more
of the followi ng three findi ngs for each of those significant impacts,
accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding:
a) Changes or alternations have been required in, or incorporated into,
the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effect on the
environment;
b) Those changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction
of another public agency and have been, or can and ·should be, adopted
by that other agency;
c) Specific economic, legal, social technologi cal, or other consideration,
including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities
for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or
alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
3. The Ball Estate, 35-Lot Subdivision Project, did not present any significant
impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less-than-significant impact level.

PROJECT AND EIR FINDINGS
Certification of EIR
The Commission finds that the EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA; that
the Commission reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR prior to
approving the project; and the EIR reflects the County’s independent judgment and
analysis.
Impact Conclusions and Mitigation Measures
Attachment B (the Mitigation, Monitoring Reporting Program [MMRP]) is attached to
these findings and is hereby adopted by the Commission, and is incorporated into these
findings. The mitigation measures will feasibly reduce or avoid the potentially significant
and significant impacts of the project to less-than-significant levels, and will reduce some
less-than-significant impacts as well. In adopting these mitigation measures, the
Commission intends to adopt each of the mitigation measures identified by the EIR.
The various documents and other materials constitute the record upon which the
Commission bases these findings and the approvals contained herein. These findings cite
specific pieces of evidence, but none of the Commission’s findings are based solely o n
those pieces of evidence. These findings are adopted based upon the entire record, and
the Commission intends to rely upon all supporting evidence in the record for each of its
findings. The location and custodian of the documents and materials that comprise the
record is Contra Costa County, Department of Conservation and Development, 30 Muir
Road, Martinez, CA, 94553, telephone (925) 674-7205.
B. Growth Management Findings
1. Traffic: Policy 4-c under the Growth Management Program (GMP) of the County’s
General Plan requires a traffic impact analysis be conducted for any project that is
estimated to generate 100 or more AM or PM peak-hour trips. The project is to
allow 35 residential lots, a parcel for a staging (parking) area, and three open space
parcels. The project would generate a low volume of trips (32 trips during the AM
peak hour and 43 vehicle drips during the PM peak hours, plus additional trips that
could be generated by the proposed staging area), but nonetheless, a traffic study
was prepared for the project. Trips during peak-hour associated with the staging
area would likely travel against the flow of peak-hour commuter. Construction
period would generate up to 60 total daily trips during peak hour. The number of
trips generated during construction are temporary and substantially below trip
generation during project operation.

2. Water: The project is an in-fill site that is currently serviced East Bay Municipal
Utility District (EBMUD). Uses on-site would include 35 residences and irrigation of
landscaped areas, a staging (parking) area, and three open space parcels. Based on
the project’s 35 homes, which would add a population of 105 to EBMUD’s service
area. Given this, the project would demand approximately 63,000 gpd, or 0.063
mgd. EBMUD’s average system demand from 2006-2010 was approximately 197
mgd. Therefore, the project will increase demand by less than 0.1 percent. The
project would result in no additional water demand nor require additional water
supply capacity beyond what has already been projected and planned.
3. Sanitary Sewer: The project is within the service area of the Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District (CCCSD) who provides wastewater services for the project. Based
on the residential demand factors utilized by CCCSD, the project would generate
approximately 7,000 gsd (0.007 mgd) of wastewater. Projected wastewater flows
associated with the project would result in a negligible (0.002 percent) increase in
wastewater volume to the facility. No new treatment facilities would be required to
accommodate this demand. CCCSD has identified that the existing wastewater
sewer lines serving the project vicinity have sufficient capacity to accommodate
projected wastewater flow volumes.
4. Fire Protection: The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District provides service to
the project site. The District provided comments requiring compliance with
applicable fire codes and regulations. Additionally, the project includes an
emergency vehicle access (EVA) easement that has been reviewed by the District.
There is no significant increase in demand for fire services expected as a result of
the project.
5. Public Protection: As the project will add to the County’s population, Condition of
Approval (COA) #12, requires that prior to the recording of the final map, the owner
of the property shall participate in establishing a special tax for the parcels created
by this subdivision. The collected tax money will be used to augment existing police
services to accommodate for the incremental increase in population as a result of
the subdivision.
6. Parks and Recreation: As the project will add to the County’s population, COA #9
and #10 requires the project proponent to pay applicable Park fees per unit. The
Park Impact fee collected will be used for acquisition of parkland and development
of parks and recreational facilities. The Park Dedication requirement allows the
developer of land for residential use to dedicate land, pay an in-lieu fee, or a

combination of both for neighborhood and community park or recreational
purposes. In addition, a staging area that includes 19 parking spaces and a
restroom will be located on Lot 21. The staging area is a unique amenity that will
be open to the general public and will benefit the community at large, rather than
simply benefitting the local residents.
7. Flood Control and Drainage: The project is not within the 100-year flood boundary
as designated on the Federal Emergency Flood Rate Maps. No special
requirements per the Federal Flood Insurance Program and the County Flood Plain
Management Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2000-33) will be applicable to this
subdivision.
Stormwater flows onto the site from Las Trampas Ridge to the west. There are three
distinct watershed basins that drain to the subject property. The primary one,
encompassing 157 acres, flows through the middle of the site, into an existing
storm drain system in Camille Avenue. The other two smaller basins, both
approximately 28 acres are located north and south of the primary drainage area.
The northern basin does not have a well-defined drainage course and sheet flows
to Ironwood Place and the adjacent subdivision to the east. The southern area
drains to a small watercourse that flows through the rear yards of homes along
Forest Lane.
All runoff from the northern area and a large portion of the southern area are
proposed to be intercepted by on-site subdivision improvements and routed to
the Camille Avenue storm drain. An exception to the off-site collect and covey
requirements is necessary to accommodate this diversion. The Camille Avenue
storm drain was designed by the County in the earl y 1960’s and assumed a much
more intense development of the Las Trampas Ridge area. Due to General Plan
changes in the intervening decades and the transfer of property to EBRPD, the
contributing watershed west of this site will remain open space. The Preli minary
Drainage Study received on June 22, 2018, that indicates the residual design
capacity of the Camille Avenue storm drain is sufficient to accept the proposed
runoff from the north and south drainage basins, which should be of benefit to the
downstream properties currently receiving these storm waters. Exceptions to the
County’s structure setback requirements from natural watercourses is included in
the project. The only significant watercourse subject to the setback requirements
is the creek conveying runoff from the central drainage basin along the north side
of Lots 30 and 23, then traversing Lots 22 and 25. Portions of this creek are being
restored as part of this subdivision. In other cases, there is a significant difference

in elevation between the left and right top of banks, for which conformance with
the setback standards would be an undue burden on the higher lots.
C. Tentative Map Findings
1. Required Finding: The advisory agency shall not approve a tentative map unless it
finds that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the applicable general plan required by law.
Project Finding: The project is located within the Alamo community, where
immediate uses includes primarily low-density single-family residences. The
project is to subdivide an approximately 61-acre property into 35-residential lots,
a parcel for a staging (parking) area, and three open space parcels. The General
Plan land use designation for approximately 21 acres of the project site is Single-
Family Residential-Low Density, which comprises of the 35 lots and approximately
1.42 acres for Parcel A. The remaining 40 acres of the project site has a General
Plan land use designation of Open Space.
The SL designation allows 1.0 – 2.9 units per net acre. The net acreage of the SL
designated area is 19.83 acres (approximately 1.86 acres of the 21.69 acres will be
used for right-of-way), which would allow 20 – 58 units. The project results in 35
residential lots, within the number of units allowed. Further, 35-residential lots
would have a density of 1.76 units per net acre, which is within the SL density range.
The portions of the project site proposed for residential development are located
within the Urban Limit Line and the project is an infill development, as the lower
portions are surrounded by existing development and have access to necessary
utility connections. Overall, the project is consistent with the applicable policies for
the SL land use designation.
2. Required Finding: The advisory agency shall not approve a tentative map unless it
shall find that the proposed subdivision fulfills construction requirements.
Project Finding: The project will comply with the collect and convey regulations,
storm drainage facilities, and design standards for private roads. Additionally,
compliance with the California Building Code and all applicable County Ordinances
is required for grading of the property and construction of residential buildings.

D. Findings for Granting an Exception to the Subdivision Ordinance (Title 9)
Requirements
In accordance with Section 92-6.002 of said Code, the following findings are required
by the advisory agency to consider in granting each exception request:
1) That there are unusual circumstances or conditions affecting the
property.
2) That the exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right of the applicant.
3) That the granting of the exception will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in
which the property is situated.
Accordingly, the exception requests, discussion points and evidence supporting the
revenant findings are as follows:
1. 92-4.018 – Cul-de-sac (maximum length)
The County Subdivision Ordinance limits cul-de-sacs to 700 linear feet, serving
a maximum of 16 lots. Ironwood Place is 1000 feet long, serving 14 lots (not
including Irongate Court, another intersecting cul-de-sac). The on-site
extension of Camille Avenue is also 1000 feet long and serves 21 lots. The
project site is abundant with native and valued, exoti c trees, of which a large
amount will be preserved.
Grading with the natural contour of the land and the placement of streets to
provide access were carefully considered to minimize impacts and/or the
removal of highly rated trees. Restrictions relative to long cul-de-sacs are
important to address access and safety for emergency response. To address
this concern, an Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) easement will be provided
from the on-site extension of Ironwood Place to the existing terminus of
Ironwood Place north of Lots 5 and 6. The cul-de-sacs were designed to avoid
tree impacts, while the EVA provides an overall improvement to emergency
vehicle circulation. Providing an EVA connecting neighborhoods is a major
safety improvement to the area.

Project Findings:
1) That there are unusual circumstances or conditions affecting the property.
The subdivision, like many of the existing neighboring streets in the
surrounding area, is only accessible from Camille Avenue and Ironwood
Place. The project site is abundant with native and some valued, specimen,
exotic trees which are to be preserved.
2) That the exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
To minimize the removal of the highly rated trees on the site by grading
with the natural contour of the land, streets were placed to provide access
while limiting impacts to, and preserving these assets.
3) That the granting of the exception will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the
property is situated.
The project creates a new emergency vehicle access route to the Hemme
Avenue neighborhoods constituting an overall improvement to emergency
vehicle circulation.
2. 96-8.402 – Locations (of sidewalks)
Most of the streets in this area have no sidewalks, but there is a pedestrian
path along the south side of Camille Avenue for its entire length. This
exception request relates to the sidewalk requirements of the Ordinance
Code. Typically, sidewalks would not be required in this zoning district, but
are required in this case due to the proximity to Rancho Romero Elementary
School. To minimize tree loss and to keep in character with the
neighborhood, the applicant has requested an exception from the
requirement, but is willing to install sidewalks along one side o f the more
prominent streets in the subdivision. The sidewalk improvements will
provide safe and continuous pedestrian access within the project site and
will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property.

Ball Estates Subdivision
County File# SD13-9338
CPC, August 14, 2019
Page 8 of 14
Project Findings:
1) That there are unusual circumstances or conditions affecting the property.
The property is a relatively isolated, rural character, and heavily wooded.
The Property runs from the end of Camille Avenue, westward to the Las
Trampas Regional Wilderness. It is not connecting one residential area to
another, but instead constitutes a large lot subdivision, which transitions
from protected wilderness to single-family residential development. Thus,
there is no " through" pedestrian traffic nor a need to connect existing
sidewalks. The Project's proposed sidewalks are sufficient to provide for
the pedestrian safety of children and other residents while remaining in
character with surrounding development. Camille Avenue, the primary
access road off Danville Blvd., has sidewalks on only one side and the
Ironwood Subdivision, immediately adjacent to the east, has no sidewalks
within its streets.
The heavily wooded nature of the Project site dictates that the provision of
sidewalks will require removal of additional trees. The intent of the
applicant is to remove as few trees as possible in order to retain the
natural, rustic feel of the area. Pedestrian safety is the overriding concern,
but the traffic report for the Project indicates the proposed sidewalk
system guarantees the safety of pedestrians while allowing the
preservation of many trees, which is important for environmental reasons.
2) That the exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
The applicant is proposing to a develop wooded and environmentally
sensitive property in a way that will have as little impact as possible and to
save as many mature trees as possible. The developers of other properties
in the area have not provided sidewalks. Most proposed subdivisions are
not faced with the need to minimize paving and grading to protect the
maximum number of trees.
3) That the granting of the exception will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the
property is situated.

Safe pedestrian access within the project to Rancho Romero School is
provided by installing the sidewalks on A Drive, B Court and the extension
of Ironwood Place. An existing sidewalk on only the south side of Camille
Ave. connects with the Iron Horse Regional Trail that leads to the school
from Camille Ave. The sidewalk improvements will provide safe pedestrian
access within the project and will not be detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to other property.
The traffic report prepared for the Project examined the sidewalk system
proposed and concluded it was safe and efficient for pedestrian safety.
3. 98-8.208 – Crown (at cul-de-sac)
This exception request is related to the end of street turnarounds near the
terminus of Camille Avenue. This Code section states “...the pavement crown
and geometric design of the street cross-section shall be shown and
dimensioned on the improvement plans, and shall conform to accepted
design standards. The minimum cross-slope shall be two percent.” The
design policy for cul-de-sacs is described on the County Improvement Plan
Check List as, “Cul-de-sacs all have 1% to 4% cross slope between gutter lip
and high point.”
The proposed public cul-de-sac at the end of Camille Ave. and the project
entrance to "A" Drive has several trees along its circumference. To design
this cul-de-sac and minimize impact to the trees, cross slopes of the
pavement will exceed the minimum cross-slopes in Section 98-8.208 -
Crown, and as indicted in the County’s improvement plan checklist. Granting
this exception minimizes grading and thus reduces tree loss and relaxes
transitional slopes to the existing Camille Lane, which intersects near the
beginning of the cul-de-sac.
Project Findings:
1) That there are unusual circumstances or conditions affecting the property.
The terrain at the site is fixed at Camille Lane and trees exist at its
circumferential perimeter. A public cul-de-sac is required at the end of the
public street.

Ball Estates Subdivision
County File# SD13-9338
CPC, August 14, 2019
Page 10 of 14
2) That the exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
The gradient of the cul-de-sac is designed to accommodate vehicular access
in conjunction with existing grades. The exception is requested to reduce
impacts to trees and to meet transitionally with the existing Camille Lane.
3) That the granting of the exception will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the
property is situated.
The cul-de-sac is being constructed on the property at the end of Camille
Ave. of the project and will be dedicated to the public. Vehicles entering the
intersection from any direction will have adequate sight lines for safety,
complying with code requirements. The exception will not adversely affect
public welfare or other property.
4. 914-2.004 - Offsite collect and convey requirements (diversion of runoff)
This Code requirement includes a caveat that conveyance of storm waters
off-site cannot be diversion from the existing drainage patterns. The Camille
Avenue storm drain was designed by the County in the early 1960’s and
assumed a much more intense development of the Las Trampas Ridge area.
Due to General Plan changes in the intervening decades and the transfer of
property to East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), the contributing
watershed west of this site will remain open space. A Preliminary Drainage
Study received on June 22, 2018, indicates the residual design capacity of
the Camille Avenue storm drain is sufficient to accept the proposed runoff
from the north and south drainage basins, which should be of benefit to the
downstream properties currently receiving these storm waters.
Project Findings:
1) That there are unusual circumstances or conditions affecting the property.
Storm water entering the northern portion of the site currently discharges
to an inadequate swale behind homes fronting Irongate Court adjacent to
the project. The proposed drainage system will intercept this runoff and
divert it to an adequate system within the project which will convey it to
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 39
Ball Estates Subdivision
County File# SD13-9338
CPC, August 14, 2019
Page 11 of 14
the Camille Avenue drainage system. This small diversion improves
drainage, and reduces flood risks to adjacent properties.
Similarly, runoff entering the southern portion of the subdivision are
conveyed to an inadequate culvert across Camille Lane and in large
storms, flows across Camille Lane then discharges to an open ditch to
adjacent residences.
2) That the exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
This diversion will improve existing conditions for the neighboring homes.
The exception is necessary to stop flooding by conveying drainage to an
adequate storm drain system. The granting of this exception is necessary
for the development of the project without causing damage to adjacent
neighboring properties or securing off-site private rights of entry or
easements.
3) That the granting of the exception will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the
property is situated.
The Camille Avenue system was designed prior to the 2005 General Plan
and assumed additional R- 20 zoning in the areas now designated as open
space. Since these areas will not be developed, the system has adequate
capacity to accept the diversion of flow. All discharge from the site
continues to flow to San Ramon Creek. The installation of the project
storm drain system will not be detrimental but beneficial to the public.
5. 914-14.012 – Structure setback lines for unimproved earth channels (Lots 21-24)
6. 914-14.014 – Structures and encroachments within structure setback areas (“A”
Drive, “A” Lane, “B” Court, and bridge structures on “A” Court and “B” Drive)
These exception requests are related to the County’s structure setback
requirements from natural watercourses. The significant watercourse subject
to the setback requirements is the creek conveying runoff from the central
drainage basin along the north side of Lots 30 and 23, then traversing Lots 22
and 25. Portions of this creek are being restored as part of this subdivision. In
other cases, there is a significant difference in elevation between the left and

right top of banks, for which conformance with the setback standards would
be an undue burden on the higher lots. Additionally, retaining riparian trees
and tree screening/replanting will ensure preservation of the natural features
of the property, while developing the property.
Project Findings:
1) That there are unusual circumstances or conditions affecting the property.
The tree screen to the north of Lots 21 and 22 constitutes an unusual
circumstance affecting the property. The desire to save these trees to
maintain a visual screen from neighboring properties on the northwest
and northeast boundaries of the proposed subdivision is paramount.
Lots 23 and 24 building areas are 50 plus feet from the creek and more
than 24 feet above the creek. Placing the creek setback at the top of bank
at the rear of Lots 23 and 24 is an adequate setback. The unusual
topographic condition and the desire to maintain a tree screen is the
purpose for requesting this exception.
The layout of the roads and lots at A Drive and A Lane was largely
determined by the constraints imposed by the trees. Using the existing
road for A Drive will avoid removal of additional trees. Having small
portions of roadway within the setback are unavoidable.
2) That the exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
This exception is necessary for the preservation of the redwood tree screen
in the context of this subdivision application and to provide for a
substantial creek setback for development of the property preserving the
natural features of the property.
Access into and throughout the site is contingent on the roadway
locations. Limitations imposed by existing tree locations prohibit roadway
layouts that would avoid encroaching into the creek setbacks at existing A
Drive and A Lane. Realigning existing A Drive outside the creek setback
would result in heavy grading and maximum tree loss.

3) That the granting of the exception will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the
property is situated.
Both riparian trees and an important visual tree screen will be retained and
creek access will be provided under the current exception.
The construction of these roads will require Fish and Wildlife permits to
protect natural habitat of the creeks. There will be no effect materially
detrimental to the public or injurious to other property as a result of these
road crossings.
E. SB 166 Finding (Government Code Section 65863 )
(a) Each city, county, or city and county shall ensure that its housing element
inventory described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 65583 or its
housing element program to make sites available pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (c) of Section 65583 can accommodate, at all times throughout the
planning period, its remaining unmet share of the regional housing need allocated
pursuant to Section 65584, except as provided in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c).
At no time, except as provided in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c), shall a city,
county, or city and county by administrative, quasi-judicial, legislative, or other
action permit or cause its inventory of sites identified in the housing element to
be insufficient to meet its remaining unmet share of the regional housing need
for lower and moderate-income households.
Finding: A component of preparing the County’s Housing Element for the General
Plan is the identification of vacant and underutilized sites suitable for r esidential
development, and an evaluation of the housing development potential of these
sites in fulfilling the County’s share of the regional housing needs as determined
by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). This property is identified in
the County’s 2015-2023 Housing Element Sites Inventory (the “Inventory”) with a
unit potential of 35 above-moderate housing units.
This project includes 35 market-rate (above-moderate) units, which meets the
identified housing potential in the Inventory. The development is located within
the Single-Family Residential-Low Density General Plan land use designation,
which allows for 1 to 2.9 residential units per net acre. The developer is averaging
1.76 units per net acre and is maximizing the density despite property constraints

including a portion of the property having a designation of open space. In
addition, the County has already exceeded the number of above-moderate units
identified by ABAG in its regional housing needs allocation for the remainder of
this cycle of the Housing Element. This project will add to the surplus of units in
this category.
F. Tree Permit Findings
Required Finding: The County Planning Commission is satisfied that the following
factors as provided by County Code Section 816-6.8010 for granting a tree permit
have been satisfied:
1. The arborist report indicates that the several trees are in poor health or the tree is
crowding an adjacent healthy tree(s).
2. Reasonable development of the property would require the alteration or removal
of trees and this development could not be reasonably accommodated on another
area of the lot.
3. Where the arborist or forester report has been required, and the Deputy Director,
Community Development Division is satisfied that the issuance of a permit will not
negatively affect the sustainability of the resource.

surcharge. The security that pertains to single-family residences shall be
submitted prior to seeking any permits for each lot. The security that
pertains to the other areas (e.g. common areas, open spaces, EVA, etc.)
shall be submitted prior to issuance of any permits, including tree
removal.
C. Initial Deposit for Processing of Security: The County ordinance requires that
the applicant pay fees to cover all staff time and material costs of staff for
processing the landscape improvement security. At the time of submittal
for each security, the applicant shall pay an initial deposit of $100.
D. Duration of Security: The security for each lot shall be retained by the
County for a minimum of 12 months up to 24 months beyond the date of
receipt of the security and from the time, the final inspection for the lot was
approved. A prerequisite of releasing the bond between 12 and 24 months
shall be to have the applicant arrange for the consulting arborist to inspect
the trees and to prepare a report on the trees’ health. In the event that CDD
determines that the tree(s) intended to be protected has been damaged,
and CDD determines that the applicant has not been diligent in providing
reasonable restitution, then CDD may require that all part of the security be
used to provide for mitigation of the damaged tree(s). Should one security
be submitted for all lots, the security may be released upon complying with
the requirements stated above and upon approval of a final inspection for
the last lot constructed.
30. Tree removal shall occur only with an approved grading or building permit.
Contingency Restitution Should Altered Trees Be Damaged
31. Trees to be Preserved but Altered – Pursuant to the conclusions of the arborist
report, proposed improvements within the root zone of approximately 205 code-
protected trees noted on the site plan to be preserved have been determined to
be feasible and still allow for preservation provided that the recommendations of
the arborist are followed. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 816 -6.1204 of
the Tree Protection and Preservation Ordinance, to address the possibility that
construction activity nevertheless damages these trees, the applicant shall provide
the County with a security (e.g. bond, cash deposit) to be submitted prior to
construction activities or issuance of a building permit (e.g. demolition, grading

or building), whichever occurs first, to allow for replacement of trees intended to
be preserved that are significantly damaged by construction activity.
A. Determination of Security Amount: The security shall submitted for each lot
and the common/open space areas, and provide for all of the following
costs:
i. Preparation of landscape/irrigation plan by a licensed landscape
architect or arborist, which shall comply with the State’s Model Water
Efficient Landscape Ordinance;
ii. Labor and materials estimate for planting the potential number of
trees and related irrigation improvements that may be required,
prepared by a licensed landscape contractor; and
iii. An additional 20% of the total of the above amounts to address
inflation costs.
B. Initial Deposit for Processing of Security – The County Ordinance requires
that the applicant cover all time and material costs of staff for processing a
tree protection security. The Applicant shall pay an initial fee deposit of $100
at time of submittal for each security.
C. Duration of Security: The security for each lot shall be retained by the
County for a minimum of 12 months up to 24 months beyond the date of
receipt of the security and from the time, the final inspection for the lot was
approved. A prerequisite of releasing the bond between 12 and 24 months
shall be to have the applicant arrange for the consulting arborist to inspect
the trees and to prepare a report on the trees’ health. In the event that CDD
determines that the tree intended to be protected has been damaged by
development activity, and CDD determines that the applicant has not been
diligent in providing reasonable restitution of the damaged trees, then CDD
may require that all part of the security be used to provide for mitigation of
the damaged tree(s). Should one security b e submitted for all lots, the
security may be released upon complying with the requirements stated
above and upon approval of a final inspection for the last lot constructed.

management lands. Such measures may include the use of fencing to
prevent unauthorized access, and signage describing the sensitive nature of
the habitat management land;
Species, quantity, and location of plants to be installed in areas of habitat
enhancement, as well as management measures required to ensure
successful establishment;
Enhanced habitat in new and existing habitat areas, such as the installation
of rock piles, planting native oaks to expand oak woodland habitat adjacent
to the development, and planting native scrub/chaparral species outside the
100-foot defensible space, thereby increasing habitat for prey species to
improve habitat values for Alameda whipsnakes;
Adaptive management measures that may be employed as needed to
ensure the success of the habitat management plan, including management
of invasive species, domestic pets, and fuels, and;
Management and maintenance activities, including weeding, supplemental
irrigation, and site protection. (MM BIO-1a)
41. In order to allow any snakes and lizards that currently use the small woodpiles
west of the residence to seek alternative cover, the woodpiles shall be removed
gradually and under the supervision of an agency-approved biologist prior to the
start of construction. Depending upon the size of the woodpiles, a quarter to a
third of the piles should be manually removed every five days.
Project operation will include vegetation management to maintain 100 feet of
defensible space to reduce the risk of wildfires. Vegetation management activities
include annual weed whacking, grazing and disposal of woody debris to manage
defensible space in the open space west of Lots 8, 9, Lots 28-33, and the
residences bordering Parcel A may adversely affect an individual Alameda
whipsnake if a snake was seeking temporary cover in woody debris, or moving
through herbaceous/ graminoid or shrubby vegetation during vegetation
management activities.
Vegetation management to achieve defensible space in the open space west of
the development shall be conducted manually. Grasses, weeds, and brush shall
be cut manually or with the aid of hand-powered equipment such as weed-
whackers or hand-operated mowers. Woody debris shall be retrieved manually.
Grazing animals such as goats may be used for vegetation management. A

conducted (see Mitigation Measure BIO-6b).( MM BIO-1b)
42. A preconstruction survey for Alameda whipsnake of the area that will be disturbed
by construction shall be conducted by a 10(a)(1)(A) permitted biologist not more
than 24 hours prior to the start of any site disturbance activities. All suitable
habitat features that may be used by Alameda whipsnake shall be identified,
marked, and mapped during the preconstruction survey. The removal or
destruction of suitable habitat features and all initial ground disturbances (e.g.
clearing and grubbing) shall be conducted under the direct supervision of the
agency approved biologist prior to the onset of site grading. If Alameda
whipsnake are detected within the project work area, site disturbance shall be
halted until the snake has been relocated by a 10(a)(1)(A) permitted biologist as
approved and directed by the USFWS and CDFW. Terms of the salvage shall be
established in consultation with USFWS and CDFW prior to ini tiation of
construction activities, and approved relocation may be in suitable habitat in the
open space and critical habitat area west of the project site. (MM BIO-1c)

for nesting bird species no more than seven (7) days prior to the initiation of work.
Surveys shall encompass all potential habitats (e.g., grasslands and tree cavities)
within 250 feet of the project site, as well potential nest trees within 0.5 mile for
golden eagle, 1,000 feet for Swainson’s hawk.
The qualified biologist conducting the surveys shall be familiar with the breeding
behaviors and nest structures for birds known to nest in the project site. Surveys
shall be conducted during periods of peak activity (early morning, dusk) and shall
be of sufficient duration to observe movement patterns. Survey results, including
a description of timing, duration, and methods used, shall be submitted to CDFW

for review 48 hours prior to the initiation of the project. If a lapse in project activity
of seven days (7) or more occurs, the survey shall be repeated and no work shall
proceed until the results have been submitted to CDFW.
If nesting birds are found as described above, then no work shall be initiated until
species-specific buffers have been established in consultation with CDFW. If CDFW
does not respond within four (4) days of receiving the survey, construction
activities may proceed consistent with the qualified biologist's recommendations
on nest buffers. Buffer areas shall be demarked from work act ivities and avoided
until the young have fledged, as determined by the qualified biologist. Active
nests found inside the limits of species-specific buffer zones or nests within the
vicinity of the project site showing signs of distress from project activity as
determined by the qualified biologist shall be monitored daily during the duration
of the project for changes in bird behavior. Buffer areas of active nests within the
vicinity of the project site showing signs of distress or disruptions to nesting
behaviors from project activity, as determined by the qualified biologist, shall have
their buffers immediately adjusted by the qualified biologist until no further
interruptions to breeding behavior are detectable.
If vegetation removal, building demolition, or earthwork stages are phased over
multiple years, the pre-construction survey and nest-avoidance measures
described above would need to be repeated. (MM BIO-2)
49. A qualified biologist knowledgeable about local bat species and experienced with
bat survey methods shall inspect all structures and trees that could support bats
at the project site prior to the start of site disturbance (e.g., demolition, vegetation
removal, and earthwork). Surveys should be conducted during appropriate
weather to detect bats (i.e., not in high winds or during heavy rain events). One
daytime and up to two nighttime surveys (starting at least 1 hour prior to dusk)
should be conducted to determine if bats are present. If bats are detected,
additional surveys utilizing acoustic monitoring or other methods may be
necessary depending on the recommendations of the bat biologist. (MM BIO-3a)
50. Preconstruction surveys for bats should be conducted within two weeks prior to
the removal of any trees or structures that are deemed to have potential bat
roosting habitat. If bats are detected on site and would be impacted by the
project, then appropriate mitigation measures would be developed with approval
from CDFW. Mitigation measures would include one or more of the following
methods: using one-way doors to exclude non-breeding bats, opening up roof

areas of structures to allow airflow that would deter bats from roosting, and taking
individual trees down in sections to encourage bats to relocate to another roost
site. Typically, this work is conducted in the evening when bats are more active,
and this work should be conducted under the guidance of an experienced bat
biologist. (MM BIO-3b)
51. Should bat species be confirmed on the project site either through the habitat
assessment or during surveys, building demolition, tree trimming, or tree removal
should only be conducted during seasonal periods of bat activity: between August
31 and October 15, when bats would be able to fly and feed independently, and
between March 1 and April 15 to avoid hibernating bats, and prior to the
formation of maternity colonies. Mitigation for impacts to a maternity bat roost,
if detected, would be determined through consultation with CDFW and may
include construction of structures that provide suitable bat roosting habitat (i.e.,
bat houses, bat condos) for the particular species impacted. (MM BIO-3c)
52. Not more than 30 days before initial ground disturbance, a qualified biologist shall
conduct a survey of the project site to determine whether San Francisco dusky -
footed woodrat lodges have been constructed within the work area. If no woodrat
lodges are present within the work area, no further mitigation is required. If San
Francisco dusky-footed woodrat lodges are observed within the area subject to
ground disturbance, a woodrat mitigation plan describing habitat enhancement
and relocation of the lodge(s) to an area not subject to site disturbance within the
project site or the remainder parcel shall be prepared and submitted to CDFW for
approval prior to the start of ground disturbance. (MM BIO-4)
53. A qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey for the American
badger within 14 days prior to the start of constructio n. If no potential dens are
found, no additional measures are required. If an active badger den is found,
consultation with CDFW would be required. Construction would be halted within
100 feet of the den during the breeding season (summer through early fall), and
hand excavation of dens during the non-breeding period would be required
subject to CDFW approval. (MM BIO-5)
54. The removal of riparian trees and shrubs will be avoided and minimized to the
extent feasible. Hazard reduction associated with structurally unsound trees, and
the risks of failure given proximity to improvements proposed in the project shall
be considered and addressed through tree removals and pruning specified by a
certified arborist. Mitigation to compensate for the removal of riparian trees shall

be accomplished through replacement plantings of locally native trees at not less
than a 3:1 replacement to loss ratio within the project site or an alternative
location approved by CDFW. With regards to oak trees, replacement shall conform
with the ratio discussed in Mitigation Measure BIO-8.
A riparian restoration plan detailing the following elements shall be prepared:
The number, species, and location of riparian mitigation plantings that will
be planted in the restoration area;
Performance standards requiring a minimum 80 percent survival rate;
average of good vigor and positive height growth of riparian mitigation
trees after ten years; seasonal planting timing; and method of supplemental
watering during the establishment period;
The monitoring period, which shall be not less than 10 years for riparian
restoration;
Adaptive management procedures that may be employed as needed to
ensure the success of the restoration project. These include, but are not
limited to, exotic and invasive plant species control, the use of browse
barriers to protect riparian plants from wildlife damage, replacement
plantings and management of the supplemental watering system to support
the attainment of the foregoing performance standards;
Management and maintenance activities, including weeding, supplemental
irrigation, site protection; and
Responsibility for maintaining, monitoring and ensuring the preservation of
the mitigation site in perpetuity.
In replacing riparian trees, the arborist shall review the final project grading plans
to ensure that adequate tree preservation methods, guidelines, and conditions
are in place. The arborist shall conduct pre-demolition site meetings with the
contractor to determine clearance pruning, stump removal techniques, fencing
placement and timing, and tree protection. The arborist shall have site meetings
after demolition to review and confirm tree protection fencing position for the
grading and construction portion of the subdivision. The arborist shall be guided
by the standard protocols set forth in the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) A300 Standard, Part 5 (2005) and the International Society of
Arboriculture’s publication Best Management Practices: Managing Trees During
Construction (2008). (MM BIO-6a)

55. The fill of jurisdictional wetlands and unvegetated other waters will be avoided
and minimized to the extent feasible. Authorization for the fill of waters of the U.S.
and State shall be obtained by the project proponent prior to the start of
construction. Mitigation for the fill of wetlands and other waters shall be
accomplished through the creation of seasonal freshwater wetlands and
unvegetated other waters at a minimum 1:1 replacement ratio within the project
site, at an approved wetland mitigation bank, or at another location within the
Walnut Creek watershed approved of by the USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW. The
mitigation goal shall be to create and enhance aquatic habitats with habitat
functions and values greater than or equal to those that will be impacted by the
proposed project.
Wetland mitigation within the project site or at another location within the Walnut
Creek watershed would be described in a wetland mitigation plan that would:
Be prepared consistent with the Final Regional Compensatory Mitigation
and Monitoring Guidelines (USACE 2015) and the Compensatory Mitigation
for Losses of Aquatic Resources: Final Rule (USACE 2008);
Define the location of all restoration and creation activities;
Describe measures that would ensure that adjacent land uses would not
adversely affect the ecological functions and values of the wetland
mitigation area, so as to ensure consistency with the foregoing federal
guidelines and rules. Such measures may include the use of appropriately -
sized buffers between the wetland mitigation area and any adjacent
development, the use of fencing or walls to prevent unauthorized access,
lighting in adjacent development designed to avoid light spillage into the
wetland mitigation area, landscape-based Best Management Practices for
adjacent development prior to discharge into the wetland mitigation area,
and signage describing the sensitive nature of the wetland mitigation area.
Provide evidence of a suitable water budget to support restored and created
wetland habitats;
Identify the species, quantity, and location of plants to be installed in the
wetland habitats;
Identify the time of year for planting and method for supplemental watering
during the establishment period;

The Project Applicant shall comply with all terms of the permits issued by these
agencies, including mitigation requirements, and shall provide proof of
compliance to the County prior to issuance of a grading permit. (MM BIO-6b)
56. Adverse impacts to water quality shall be avoided and minimized by implementing
the following measures:
Prior to the start of site disturbance activities, construction barrier fencing
and silt fencing shall be installed around the perimeters of wetlands and
drainages that are to be protected during construction of the project to
prevent movement of sediments into these features. Any debris that is
inadvertently deposited into these features during construction shall be
removed in a manner that minimizes disturbance.
All construction within jurisdictional features shall be conducted consistent
with permits issued by USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW. Construction activities
within these features shall be completed promptly to minimize their
duration and resultant impacts.
The project proponent shall be required to implement a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan that describes BMPs including the conduct of all

work according to site-specific construction plans that minimize the
potential for sediment input to the aquatic system, avoiding impacts to
areas outside the staked and fenced limits of construction, covering bare
areas prior to storm events, and protecting disturbed areas with approved
erosion control materials.
Bioretention planters, vegetated swales, and other landscape-based BMPs
to catch and filter runoff from impervious surfaces shall be implemented
throughout the project site to protect water quality in receiving waters.(MM
BIO-7)
57. Prior to the removal of trees and/or prior to the issuance of a grading permit,
the project sponsor will submit to the County a Tree Replacement Plan
designating the approximate location, number, and sizes of replacement trees to
be planted on the project site. Prior to submittal of a building permit for each
home, a licensed landscape architect shall submit a landscape plan designating
the final location and species of trees in general conformance with the Tree
Replacement Plan. Trees shall be planted prior to final occupancy of each building.
Mitigation for the removal of any native oak trees by the project, regardless of
location, will be achieved by the following ratios: 4:1 replacement for trees 6-3/8-
10 inches in diameter, 5:1 replacement for trees >10-15 inches in diameter, and
15:1 replacement for trees >15 inches in diameter. The replacement ratio for non-
oak trees shall be as follows: 3:1 for trees that are removed within riparian
corridors, 2:1 for drought tolerant trees, and 1:1 for non-drought tolerant trees.
The Tree Replacement Plan shall identify the total number and size of trees to be
replanted in accordance to the ratios discussed above. CDFW replacement ratios
are based on the diameter of the removed tree, with no minimum container size
for replacement trees. To fulfill CDFW recommendations, the oak mitigation credit
shall be calculated based on the scale outlined in Table 4.4-3
Table 4.4-3 Tree Mitigation Credit Based on Container Size

Replacement plantings shall consist of locally appropriate native species and non-
invasive species. Tree species identified as a pest species by the California Invasive
Plant Council shall not be used as replacement plantings.
Planting shall conform to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300
Standard, Part 6 (2012) Tree, Shrub and Other Woody Plant Management
Standard Practices (Planting and Transplanting), or later versions as they are
published and to the companion International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Best
Management Practices (BMP) Tree Planting, Second Edition, or later versions as
they are published. Tree selection and planting shall be overseen by an
International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist familiar with the practices
in the Standard and BMP. Irrigation of the mitigation trees shall be dedicated to
the specific tree, not part of a broader area irrigation.
The project sponsor will prepare an Offsite Tree Replacement Plan outlining the
number, location, and sizes of replacement trees to be planted offsite if the project
site cannot sustainably support the required number of replacement trees. All
trees that are planted offsite or within common or open space areas on the project
site shall be planted upon completion of the site improvements. The project
sponsor will monitor offsite plantings for a period of five years to ensure at least
80 percent tree survival. (MM BIO-8)
Cultural Resources
58. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, and other applicable law, in the
event that any prehistoric, historic, archaeological, or paleontological resources
are discovered during ground-disturbing activities, all work within 100 feet of the
resources shall be halted and the proponent shall consult with the County and a
qualified professional (historian, archaeologist, and/or paleontologist, as
determined appropriate and approved by the County) to assess the significance
of the find.

If any find is determined to be significant, representatives of the County and the
consulting professional shall determine, with the input of any affected California
Native American tribe, the appropriate avoidance measures, such as planning
greenspace, parks, or other open space around the resource to preserve it and/or
its context (while protecting the confidentiality of its location to the extent
feasible) or other appropriate mitigation, such as protecting the historical or
cultural value of the resource through data recovery or preservation.
In considering any suggested mitigation proposed by the consulting professional
to mitigate impacts to cultural resources, the County shall determine whether
avoidance is feasible in light of factors such as the nature of the find, project
design, costs, and other considerations.
If avoidance is infeasible, other appropriate measures, such as data recovery, shall
be instituted. The resource shall be treated with the appropriate dignity, taking
into account the resource’s historical or cultural value, meaning, and traditional
use, as determined by a qualified professional or California Native American tribe,
as is appropriate. Work may proceed on other parts of the project site while
mitigation for cultural resources is carried out. All significant cultural materials
recovered shall, at the discretion of the consulting professional, be subject to
scientific analysis, professional museum curation, and documentation according
to current professional standards.
At the County’s discretion, all work performed by the consulting professional shall
be paid for by the proponent and at the County’s discretion, the professional may
work under contract with the County. (MM CUL-1)
59. In the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains in
any location other than a dedicated cemetery, the following steps shall be taken:
1. There shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby
area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until:
The coroner of the county in which the remains are discovered must be
contacted to determine that no investigation of the cause of death is
required, and
If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American:
The coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission
within 24 hours;

The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the person or
persons it believes to be the most likely descended from the deceased
Native American;
The most likely descendent may make recommendations to the
landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work for means
of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains
and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resources Code
Section 5097.98;
2. Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his authorized
representative shall rebury the Native American human remains and
associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on the property in a
location not subject to further subsurface disturbance:
The Native American Heritage Commission is unable to identify a most
likely descendent or the most likely descendent failed to make a
recommendation within 24 hours after being notified by the
Commission;
The identified descendant fails to make a recommendation; or
The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the
recommendation of the descendant, and the mediation by the Native
American Heritage Commission fails to provide measures acceptable to
the landowner. (MM CUL-2)
Geology
60. The project proponent shall design structures and foundations to withstand
expected seismic sources in accordance with the current version of the California
Building Code, as adopted by the County. Prior to the issuance of a building
permit, the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development
shall verify that plans incorporate seismic site categorization and design
coefficients in conformance with the most recent version of the California Building
Code. The project sponsor shall be required to provide evidence that a qualified
geotechnical engineer has reviewed final grading, drainage, and foundation plans
for consistency with California Building Code and Uniform Building Code design
standards, and verify that all pertinent recommendations of the geotechnical
engineer are incorporated into final building plans (see Mitigation Measure
GEO-2). (MM GEO-1)

Ball Estates Subdivision
County File# SD13-9338

Page 28 of 47
61. A design-level geotechnical report shall provide recommendations to address soil
stability on the project site. Performance measures shall include, but not be limited
to, those described below.
To reduce the potential for adverse settlement or stability problems,
compressible native soils, artificial fill, and any compressible alluvium shall
be replaced with engineered fill and/or improvements designed to
accommodate the anticipated settlement. To reduce the expansion
potential of the fill, moisture conditioning of clayey fill materials to above-
optimum moisture content should be anticipated. Detailed fill placement
recommendations will be provided based on laboratory testing and analysis
performed in conjunction with the design-level geotechnical report.
Depending on the location and characteristics of compressible native soils
and artificial fill, some building pads may require drilled pier and grade
beam foundations to achieve the desired level of structural support. This
technique entails drilling pier holes below the depth of seasonal moisture
changes and into more stable soils below. The pier holes are backfilled with
concrete and reinforcing steel rebar, resulting in a structure with low
movement risk.
Most of the existing fill slope located along the rear of Lots 11 through 14
and Lots 18 through 20 will require corrective grading. For existing fills that
remain in place, setbacks from the toe of the existing fill slope can be
developed based on the findings of the design-level geotechnical
exploration. In general, all proposed improvements should be set back from
the toe of the slope a distance equal to, or greater than, the height of the
existing fill slope.
If after rough grading, testing of the pad soils determines that soils on the
project site are corrosive, the project proponent will provide
recommendation for foundations that protect building materials (such as
concrete and steel) in contact with the ground surface.
The design-level geotechnical report will characterize shrink/swell
properties of on-site soils. Design-level mitigation will be required to reduce
the risk associated with expansive soils, which may include the following.
Excavate expansive soils and replace with non-expansive fill
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 71
Ball Estates Subdivision
County File# SD13-9338
CPC, August 14, 2019
Page 29 of 47
Avoid siting structures across soil materials of substantially different
expansive properties
Extend building foundations below the zone of seasonal mo isture
change
Utilize pier and grade beam foundation system
Utilize post-tensioned slabs
Prevent accumulation of surface water adjacent to or under
foundations
Depending on the results of the design-level geotechnical report, the
potential danger posed by liquefiable soils would be mitigated by
appropriate soil and structural stabilization measures, such as compaction
grouting and/or designing structures to accommodate anticipated
settlement.
Where development encroaches into the hilly, western areas of the project
site, remedial grading will be required to reduce the potential for adverse
impacts from slide movement and soil creep. Specific grading measures
should be developed on a case-by-case basis where development
encroaches into the mapped landslide areas. Measures may include:
Benching through the surficial soils during fill placement
Drilled pier and grade beam foundation systems to accommodate
lateral loads from soil creep
Properly engineered cut and fill slopes
Stabilization of landslide areas
Creation of sufficient buffers between the identified landslide areas
and development area
Maintenance benches should be provided at the toe of major cut slopes (cut
slopes higher than 10 feet) or natural slopes that extend upslope of the area
of planned development. The width of the bench should be approximately
15 feet wide or as determined necessary by a licensed geotechnical
engineer, depending on the height and steepness of the adjacent slope, to
ensure compliance with applicable provisions of the Californ ia Building
Code.
A cut slope is planned on the upslope side of proposed Lot 29 that would
be about 18 feet high and have a gradient of about 2:1. This proposed cut
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 72

slope may encounter relatively shallow bedrock. Additional exploration
must determine if a 2:1 slope is feasible in this location. If subsurface
conditions are such that a 2:1 slope is not feasible, the slope should be
flattened to a gradient no steeper than 2.5:1, or reconstructed as an
engineered fill slope with an appropriate keyway and subdrainage. (Also see
Mitigation Measure GEO-1)(MM GEO-2)
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
62. The following improvements will be included as requirements for building permits
for any applicable structure on the project site:
The proposed project shall install high-efficiency kitchen and laundry
appliances (e.g., Energy Star-rated appliances or equivalent). Tankless water
heaters or a similar hot water energy-saving device or system shall be
installed.
The project proponent will develop a solar exposure study to determine
which residences would benefit from solar energy. The solar study will be
submitted prior to obtaining a building permit. Residences that would cost-
effectively benefit from solar energy shall be wired to be solar ready, as
defined by the California Building Standards Code. Residences that would
not cost-effectively benefit from solar energy shall have the attic insulated
with R-49 insulation batts to prepare for the statewide transition to zero net
energy.
The proposed project shall provide prewiring for electric vehicle charging
stations for each residence. (MM GHG-1)
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
63. Prior to issuance of any demolition, grading, or building permit, a site
evaluation will investigate for agrichemical contamination on portions of APN
198-170-008 proposed for residential development. Soil samples will be
collected and tested for organochlorine pesticides, lead, and arsenic by a
qualified professional to assess potential environmental impacts from past
agricultural practices. Concentrations of agricultural contaminants will be
compared to applicable EPA screening levels for residential development. The
Project Applicant will be required to submit a comprehensive report to the
County, signed by a qualified environmental professional, documenting the
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 73
Ball Estates Subdivision

CPC, August 14, 2019
Page 31 of 47
presence or lack of agrichemicals on APN 198-170-008. If this assessment finds
presence of such chemicals, the Project Applicant will create and implement a
remediation plan that ensures workers and future residents are not exposed to
concentrations in excess of applicable EPA screening levels and risks associated
with these agrichemicals. Potential safety measures could include soil removal
and treatment or protective work attire requirements for construction workers.
(MM HAZ-1)
64. Prior to issuance of any demolition, grading, or building permit, the project
applicant shall submit a comprehensive report to the County, signed by a
qualified environmental professional, documenting the presence or lack of
asbestos, lead-based paint, and any other building materials or stored materials
classified as hazardous waste by State or Federal law. If this assessment finds
presence of such materials, the Project Applicant shall create and implement a
health and safety plan to ensure workers are not exposed to contaminants in
excess of OSHA and other applicable State and Federal standards and associated
risks associated with hazardous materials during demolition, renovation of
affected structures, transport, and disposal. (MM HAZ-2)
Noise
65. Prior to the issuance of building permits, any outdoor mechanical equipment,
air conditioning units, or pumps shall be selected and designed to reduce
impacts on surrounding uses. A qualified acoustical consultant shall be retained
by the Project Applicant to review mechanical noise as the equipment systems
are selected in order to determine specific noise reduction measures necessary
to reduce noise to 55 dBA Ldn at the shared property line. Noise reduction
measures could include, but are not limited to, locating equipment in shielded
and/or less noise-sensitive areas, selection of equipment that emits low noise
levels, and/or installation of noise barriers such as enclosures to block the line
of sight between the noise source and the nearest receptors. Other feasible
controls could include, but shall not be limited to, fan silencers, enclosures, and
mechanical equipment screen walls. (MM NOI-1)
66. Abatement of excessive noise from off-road construction equipment would be
accomplished by means of temporary acoustical screens of suitable height and
extent. Such screens would completely interrupt the line-of-sight between the
equipment and receptors of the noise and would have no gaps or openings.
Efficacy would be maximized by placing screens as close to noise sources as
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 74
Ball Estates Subdivision
County File# SD13-9338
CPC, August 14, 2019

possible. Sound screens will be approximately 12 feet in height and will provide
approximately 8 decibels reduction in noise levels at the first and second stories
of nearby homes. When construction noise impacts reach a level below 70
Ldn/CNEL at the nearest homes, the temporary screens can be removed.
Construction is likely to be concentrated in one or a few contiguous areas at a
time during each phase. Therefore, sound screens need not extend along the
entire site perimeter at once, but could be shorter and moved following the work
so as to provide shielding to one or more sensitive receptors near the work area.
However, in order to maintain the full acoustic benefit, these screens will extend
at least 1.5 times their height past each side of the area where construction
equipment is to operate. This will minimize sound escaping around the ends of
the screens. (MM NOI-2)
67. The applicant shall develop a construction mitigation plan with input from
County staff to minimize construction noise disturbance. Considering the
potential for substantial increases in noise at adjacent residences as a result of
project construction, the following conditions shall be incorporated into
contract agreements to reduce construction noise impacts:
Restrict noise-generating activities including construction traffic at the
construction site or in areas adjacent to the construction site to the hours
of 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with no construction
allowed on Federal and State weekends and holidays.
Potential contractors shall be requested to submit information on their
noise management procedures and demonstrate a successful track record
of construction noise management on prior projects.
The selected contractor will equip all internal combustion engine driven
equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition
and appropriate for the equipment.
The selected contractor will prohibit unnecessary idling of internal
combustion engines.
The selected contractor will locate stationary noise generating equipment,
such as air compressors or portable power generators, as far as practical
from sensitive receptors.
The selected contractor will utilize “quiet” air compressors and other
stationary noise sources where technology exists.

The selected contractor shall limit the allowable hours for the delivery of
materials or equipment to the site and truck traffic coming to and from
the site for any purpose to Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and
5:30 p.m.
The selected contractor will establish construction staging areas and
material stockpiles at locations that will create the greatest distance
between the construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive
receptors nearest the project site during all project construction as is
feasible.
During tree demolition, the woodchipper shall be located on Lot 30 to
reduce the effect of noise levels to sensitive receptors. If the chipper is to
be moved into other areas of the site, a qualified registered professional
Noise Consultant shall determine the allowable distance from sensitive
receptors so as to ensure consistency with the County’s noise thresholds.
A noise contour map will be provided defining the boundaries of the
chipper access on the project.
The selected contractor will route all construction traffic to and from the
project site via designated truck routes where possible and prohibit
construction related heavy truck traffic in residential areas where feasible.
The selected contractor will control noise from construction workers’
radios to a point where they are not audible at existing residences

agreement for the Ball Estates Project, located in the Alamo area of Contra Costa County.
SECTION 2. Authority. This ordinance is enacted pursuant to Government Code sections 65864
through 65869.5 and Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors’ Resolution No. 85/412, which
establishes the County’s procedures for the consideration of development agreements.
SECTION 3. Recitals.
(a) DWB PROPERTY LLC, a Nevada limited liability company; SS & JS PROPERTIES, LLC, a
California limited liability company; SAILBACK, LLC, a California limited liability company;
PEGACORN INVESTMENTS, LLC, a California limited liability company; GNBALLJR
PROPERTY, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company; SPARTAN 43, LLC, a California
limited liability company; POSITIVELY POWERFUL, LLC, a California limited liability
company; NWBF, LLC, a California limited liability company; SBNB PROPERTY, LLC, a
Nevada limited liability company; SBWB PROPERTY, LLC, a Nevada limited liability
company; AS INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, LLC, a California limited liability company JDS
PROPERTY, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, (together, the “Applicant”) desire to
develop the Ball Estates Project (“Project”) in the Alamo area of Contra Costa County. The
Project is an approximately 61-acre residential development consisting of approximately 35
single-family homes, three open space parcels, and one open space parcel intended to be
developed and used as a staging area by the East Bay Regional Park District. The Project and
the location of the Project are more particularly described in the “Development Agreement by
and among Contra Costa County, Camille Avenue, LLC, and Camille Ironwood Properties,
LLC, Relating to the Development Commonly Known as The Ball Estates Project,” which is
attached as Exhibit 1 (the “Development Agreement”).
(b) A vesting tentative map has been approved for the Project. An environmental impact report
and its related CEQA mitigation monitoring and reporting program have been prepared for the
Project.
(c) On August 14, 2019, the Contra Costa County Planning Commission held a public hearing to
consider the Applicant’s application for the Development Agreement. Notice of the hearing
was given in accordance with Government Code sections 65864 through 65869.5 and Board of
Supervisors’ Resolution No. 85/412. After the hearing, the Planning Commission
recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt this ordinance to approve the Development
Agreement.
(d) Notice of the public hearing for the Board of Supervisors to consider the Applicant’s
application for the Development Agreement, and to consider adopting this ordinance approving

through 65869.5, and Board of Supervisors’ Resolution No. 85/412.
SECTION 4. Findings. The Board of Supervisors has independently reviewed the Development

through 65869.5 and Board of Supervisors’ Resolution No. 85/412. Government Code sections
65867.5(b) and 66473.7 do not apply to the Development Agreement because the Project does
not include a “subdivision” as that term is defined in Government Code section 66473.7.

Development Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, without modification. The Board of
Supervisors authorizes the Director of Conservation and Development to execute the Development
Agreement on behalf of the County.

RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the
State of California enacted Government Code section 65864 et seq. (“Development Agreement
Statute”), which authorizes a county to enter into a development agreement with any person
having a legal or equitable interest in real property regarding the development of such property
and establishing certain development rights therein.
B. Developer has a legal or equitable interest in certain real property consisting of
approximately 61 acres, as more particularly described and depicted in attached Exhibit A (the
“Subject Property”).
C. The Parties desire to develop the Project (as defined below) on the Subject
Property, which will provide benefits to the County and to the public.
D. By this Agreement, Developer will receive assurance that it may proceed with the
development or redevelopment of the Subject Property for the Project in accordance with the
Applicable Law (defined in Section 2.03). The Project consists of 35 single-family homes, three
open space parcels, and Lot 21 intended to be developed and used as a staging area by and for
the East Bay Regional Park District.
E. The Project Approvals include the following:
1. Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report, Ball Estate
Project, County File No. SD13-9338 (the “EIR”), including project-specific mitigation measures
as certified and adopted by the County with the EIR, and as specified in the adopted Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), certified and adopted by the County Planning
Commission on August 14, 2019.
2. Approval by the County of the Vesting Tentative Map, Ball Estates,
Subdivision 9338, 333 Camille Avenue (“VTM”).
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 106
BCML\53212\1419815.6 2
3. Approval by the County of a Tree Removal Permit (“Tree Removal
Permit”) allowing the removal and work within the drip line of specified trees, subject to certain
conditions.
4. Approval by the County of an exception to the Creek Structure Setback
Line affecting Lots 21, 22, 23 and 24.
5. Approval by the County of an exception for length of a cul-de-sac,
affecting the length of A Drive and B Court; and the length of Ironwood Place, as shown on the
VTM.
6. Approval by the County of an exception to the radius of right of way of the
public cul-de-sac shown on the VTM as 40 ft., as opposed to 45 ft.
7. Approval by the County of an exception to the Creek Structure Setback
Line at street creek crossings and encroachment of A Drive as shown on the VTM.
8. Approval by the County of an exception to Collect and Convey for the
minor diversion of storm drainage within the project as shown on the VTM.
9. Approval by the County of an exception to the Creek Structure Setback
Line for bridge structures at creek crossings of A Lane and B Court as shown on the VTM.
10. Approval by the County of this Agreement.
F. The County anticipates that during the Term (as defined below) of this
Agreement and subsequent to the Effective Date, Developer will seek from County certain other
implementing approvals, entitlements, and permits that are necessary or desirable for the
Project (each a “Subsequent Approval,” and collectively the “Subsequent Approvals”). The
Subsequent Approvals are any that may be necessary or desirable to develop the Project and
may include, but are not limited to, conditional use permits, design review approval, tree
removal permits, acceptance or vacation of minor portions of rights of way, lot line adjustments,
demolition permits, encroachment permits, site development permits, building permits, and any
amendments to the foregoing. The Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed to be a part of the
Project Approvals as and when they are approved by the County.
G. Consistent with Government Code section 65867 and County Ordinance Code
section 26-2.408, the County Planning Commission held a public hearing on an application for
this Agreement on August 14, 2019. The County Planning Commission recommended that the
County Board of Supervisors approve this Agreement and a vesting tentative map (the
“Approval”).
H. Consistent with Government Code section 65867, the County Board of
Supervisors held a public hearing on an application for this Agreement on September 24, 2019
and adopted Ordinance No. 2019-26 to approve this Agreement. Prior to adopting that
ordinance, the County Board of Supervisors approved the Approval recommended by the
Planning Commission.
I. To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, the County Planning
Commission on August 14, 2019 certified an environmental impact report {the “EIR”) and
approved a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan (the “MMRP”) for the Project, and made
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 107
BCML\53212\1419815.6 3
findings. The EIR and the MMRP have been certified and adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
Since that EIR was certified, there have been no substantial changes to the Project or the
circumstances under which it will be undertaken, and no new information has become available,
that would require a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report to be prepared.
J. The County, by electing to enter into this contractual agreement, acknowledges
that the obligations of the County shall survive beyond the term or terms of the present Board of
Supervisors and that such action will serve to bind the County and future Boards to the
obligations thereby undertaken. By approving this Agreement, the Board of Supervisors has
elected to exercise certain governmental powers at the time of entering into this Agreement
rather than deferring its actions to some undetermined future date. The terms and conditions of
this Agreement have undergone extensive review by both the County and its Board and have
found to be fair, just and reasonable, and the County has concluded that the pursuit of the
Project will serve the best interests of its citizens, and the public health, safety and welfare will
be best served by entering into this obligation.
K. The Board of Supervisors has made a finding that this Agreement is consistent
with the County’s General Plan and the County Ordinance Code, both as amended by the
Approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants, and provisions set
forth herein, the receipt and adequacy of which consideration is acknowledged, County and
Developer agree as follows.
AGREEMENT
Article I. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT,
EFFECTIVE DATE, AND TERM.
Section 1.01. Description of Subject Property. This Agreement vests laws applicable to
development and/or redevelopment of the Subject Property for the Project on the Subject
Property, as more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit A.
Section 1.02. Proposed Development. Consistent with the Approval, Developer may develop
the Project on the Subject Property.
Section 1.03. Effective Date. The rights, duties, and obligations hereunder shall be effective
and the Term (as defined in Section 1.05) shall commence on the “Effective Date,” which shall
be the date this Agreement is executed by the Parties following (a) the effective date of the
ordinance adopted by the County Board of Supervisors approving this Agreement, and (b) the
effective date of the Approval.
Section 1.04. Term. The term of this Development Agreement shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall expire fifteen (15) years thereafter (“Term”), unless it is sooner
terminated, or unless it is extended as provided in Section 1.05.
Section 1.05. Term of Vested Components and Permits. The term of any parcel map, tentative
subdivision map, vesting parcel map or vesting tentative subdivision map which may be
approved as a part of the Project Approvals, any subdivision agreement related to the
development of the Property or any portion thereof, (“Vested Components”) shall automatically
be extended (pursuant to Government Code section 66452.6(a)) for the longer of: (i) the Term,
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 108
BCML\53212\1419815.6 4
or (ii) the term of the particular map otherwise allowed under the Subdivision Map Act
(Government Code sections 66410 et seq.), and the County’s subdivision ordinance. The term
of any permits or other entitlements for development for all or any part of the Property shall be
extended (pursuant to Government Code section 65863.9), for the longer of: (i) the Term, (ii) the
term of that permit or other entitlement, or (iii) the term of the subdivision map relating to that
portion of the Property that is the subject of the permit or other entitlement.
Section 1.06. Extension/Tolling of Term. The Term of this Agreement may be extended or
tolled as provided in this Section 1.06. beyond the Initial Term only in the manner provided in
this Section 1.06.
(a) Extension for Enforced Delay. If Developer encounters an Enforced Delay (as
defined in this Section) and desires to extend the Term because of that delay, Developer shall
give the County written notice of the Enforced Delay. If that written notice does not state the
duration of the Enforced Delay because the delay remains ongoing, Developer shall give the
County written notice of the date the Enforced Delay ends within ninety (90) days after the end
of the delay. Following the end of the Enforced Delay, the County Director of Conservation and
Development will provide Developer written notice of the extension of the Term, which shall be
extended for as many days as the Enforced Delay occurs, as determined by the County Director
of Conservation and Development in his or her sole discretion. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Enforced Delay” means a delay or default resulting arising only from one or more
of the following: (A) a natural disaster or other Force Majeure, (B) an accident that requires all
development activities to stop; (C) the interruption of services by suppliers for a substantial
period of time when no alternative suppliers are available, (D) the unavailability of construction
materials for a substantial period of time when no substitute materials are available, (E) war,
civil disturbance, or riot where martial law is declared, or (F) any other severe occurrence that is
beyond Developer’s reasonable control, as determined by the County Director of Conservation
and Development in his or her sole discretion.
(b) Tolling for Third-Party Lawsuit. If a third-party files a lawsuit to challenge this
Agreement, the County’s certification of the EIR, the Approval, or the Subsequent Approvals
(each a “Third-Party Lawsuit”), Developer may request that the Term be tolled during the
pendency of the Third-Party Lawsuit by providing a written notice (“Tolling Notice”) to the
County within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the lawsuit. The tolling of the Term
will begin upon the County’s receipt of the Tolling Notice, and it will end on the earliest of the
following to occur: (A) the date on which a court issues a final judgment in the Third-Party
Lawsuit and the expiration of all appeal periods following that judgment, or (B) the date the
Third-Party Lawsuit is dismissed. If, in a Third-Party Lawsuit, the court issues a temporary
restraining order or injunction prohibiting Developer from taking actions to proceed with the
Project, the Term will automatically be tolled beginning on the date the temporary restraining
order or injunction is issued, and ending on the date the temporary restraining order or
injunction is lifted or vacated.
(c) Tolling for Initiative or Referendum. If the subject of an initiative petition or
referendum petition would overturn, set aside, or substantially modify the Approval or the
Subsequent Approvals, or otherwise substantially impair the development of the Subject
Property for the Project, the Term shall be automatically tolled beginning on the date that the
initiative or referendum petition is submitted to the County elections official for signature
verification, and ending on the date that the last of the following occurs: (A) the date the County
elections official determines the petition does not include a sufficient number of signatures, (B)
the date the Board of Supervisors, in lieu of an election, either adopts the ordinance without
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 109
BCML\53212\1419815.6 5
alteration (initiative), or repeals the ordinance (referendum), pursuant to Elections Code section
9118 or 9145, or (C) the date of the election on the measure, if placed on the ballot.
Article II. STANDARDS, LAWS, AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING THE PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT.
Section 2.01. Vested Right to Develop. Developer shall have the right to pursue the Project in
accordance with the Applicable Law (defined in Section 2.03), including the Project Approvals,
the Subsequent Approvals after they are granted, and the provisions of this Agreement, and
including, without limitation, Developer’s vested right to develop the Project on the Subject
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, County
will apply to the Project the then-current California Building Standards Codes (including the
California Fire Code), and all local amendments to those codes, to the extent that the codes
have been adopted by County or the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and are in
effect on a Countywide basis. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this
Agreement and the Applicable Law, or between this Agreement and any Subsequent Approvals,
to the fullest extent legally possible, this Agreement shall prevail and control.
Section 2.02. Development Standards. The permitted uses of the Subject Property, the density
and intensity of uses, the maximum height, bulk, and size of the proposed building, provisions
for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes and the location of public
improvements, the general location of public utilities, and other terms and conditions of
development applicable to the Project shall be as set forth in the Applicable Law (defined in
Section 2.03), the Approval, and the Subsequent Approvals (collectively, “Development
Standards”).
Section 2.03. Applicable Law. “Applicable Law” consists of the rules, regulations, and official
policies governing the Development Standards in Section 2.02 applicable to the Project existing
as of the Effective Date, as supplemented and modified by the Approval, the Subsequent
Approvals once they are approved, and Later Enactments (defined in Section 2.05), all except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
Section 2.04. Fees. All impact fees, mitigation fees, connection fees, processing fees, and all
other fees, charges, taxes, and assessments that are vested by virtue of approval of a vesting
subdivision map pursuant to Government Code section 66498.1 that are in effect as of Effective
Date shall apply to the Project through the time periods referenced in Government Code
sections 66498.1 and 66498.5, as extended pursuant to Section 2.07 below, but not to exceed a
period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date. After expiration of these time periods,
Developer shall pay the amount of all applicable impact fees, mitigation fees, connection fees,
processing fees, and all other fees, charges, taxes, or assessments in effect at the time they are
required to be paid.
Section 2.05. No Conflicting Enactments. The County, or the electorate through the adoption
of referenda and initiatives, may enact new or modified rules, regulations, or official policies
after the Effective Date (each a “Later Enactment,” and collectively, “Later Enactments”), and
such Later Enactments shall be included within the Applicable Law. All Later Enactments shall
be applicable to the Project only to the extent that application of any Later Enactment does not
modify the Project, does not prevent or impede development of the Project, and does not
conflict with this Agreement. Any Later Enactment shall be deemed to conflict with this
Agreement if the enactment seeks to accomplish any one or more of the following results, either
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 110
BCML\53212\1419815.6 6
with specific reference to the Project or the development or redevelopment of the Subject
Property, or as part of a general enactment that would otherwise apply to the Subject Property:
(a) Reduce the density or intensity of the Project under the Applicable Law;
(b) Change any land use designation or permitted use of the Subject Property for the
Project as described in the Applicable Law;
(c) Require, for any work necessary to develop the Project on the Subject Property,
the issuance of permits, approvals, or entitlements by County other than those required by
Applicable Law; or
(d) Materially limit the processing of, the procuring of applications for, or approval of
the Subsequent Approvals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, County shall not be precluded from applying a Later
Enactment to the Project where the Later Enactment is: (a) specifically mandated by changes in
state or federal laws or regulations adopted after the Effective Date, as provided in Government
Code section 65869.5; (b) specifically mandated by a court of competent jurisdiction; (c)
required by changes to the California Building Standards Codes (including the California Fire
Code), and similar safety regulations that may change from time to time, including all local
amendments adopted by the County or the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District; or (d)
required as a result of facts, events or circumstances presently unknown or unforeseeable that
would otherwise have an immediate adverse risk on the health or safety of the surrounding
community, as determined by County in its sole discretion. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, this Agreement does not restrict County’s exercise of its police powers, and County
reserves those powers to itself.
Section 2.06. Conflict of State or Federal Laws. In the event that state and/or federal law(s)
and/or regulation(s) enacted after the Effective Date prevent or preclude compliance with one or
more provisions of this Agreement, the Party identif ying the conflict shall provide the other
Party, as soon as practicable after the conflict becomes known to the notifying Party, written
notice of the conflict, a copy of the law(s) and/or regulation(s) that give rise to the conflict, and a

so as to comply with the state and/or federal law(s) and/or regulation(s) giving rise to the
conflict, pursuant to Government Code section 65869.5. If Developer does not consent to an

Developer cannot, at this time, predict when or the rate at which the Project will be constructed.

construction of the Project within any particular period of time during the Term of this
Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in County Ordinance Code
sections 84-66.1406(1), 84-66.1602, and any other provisions of the County Code, County has
ordained by adopting the ordinance approving this Agreement that Developer may commence
construction at any time during the Term of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 111
BCML\53212\1419815.6 7
construction may be delayed by litigation, market factors, or other reasons. In light of the
foregoing, the Parties agree that Developer may construct the Project at the rate and time
Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, subject
to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.08. Processing Subsequent Approvals. The Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed
mechanisms to implement those final policy decisions reflected by the Approval and other
provisions of Applicable Law. Upon submission by Developer of an application for a
Subsequent Approval, County shall cooperate and diligently work to promptly process and
consider approving that application. County shall retain its discretionary authority in its
consideration of any and all Subsequent Approvals that involve discretionary decisions. The
County will consider an application for a Subsequent Approval with reference to the Applicable
Law, any applicable state or federal law, Later Enactments, and this Agreement.
Section 2.09. No Limitation on Future Discretionary Actions. Except to the extent that this
Agreement expressly provides otherwise, nothing in this Agreement requires the County, or any
of its boards or commissions, to adopt any future ordinances or resolutions, to enter into any
other agreements with Developer, or to exercise its discretion in any particular manner in the
future.
Article III. COUNTY BENEFITS; DEVELOPER FUNDING OBLIGATION.

RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the
State of California enacted Government Code section 65864 et seq. (“Development Agreement
Statute”), which authorizes a county to enter into a development agreement with any person
having a legal or equitable interest in real property regarding the development of such property
and establishing certain development rights therein.
B. Developer has a legal or equitable interest in certain real property consisting of
approximately 61 acres, as more particularly described and depicted in attached Exhibit A (the
“Subject Property”).
C. The Parties desire to develop the Project (as defined below) on the Subject
Property, which will provide benefits to the County and to the public.
D. By this Agreement, Developer will receive assurance that it may proceed with the
development or redevelopment of the Subject Property for the Project in accordance with the
Applicable Law (defined in Section 2.03). The Project consists of 35 single-family homes, three
open space parcels, and Lot 21 intended to be developed and used as a staging area by and for
the East Bay Regional Park District.
E. The Project Approvals include the following:
1. Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report, Ball Estate
Project, County File No. SD13-9338 (the “EIR”), including project-specific mitigation measures
as certified and adopted by the County with the EIR, and as specified in the adopted Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), certified and adopted by the County Planning
Commission on August 14, 2019.
2. Approval by the County of the Vesting Tentative Map, Ball Estates,
Subdivision 9338, 333 Camille Avenue (“VTM”).
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 129
BCML\53212\1419815.6 2
3. Approval by the County of a Tree Removal Permit (“Tree Removal
Permit”) allowing the removal and work within the drip line of specified trees, subject to certain
conditions.
4. Approval by the County of an exception to the Creek Structure Setback
Line affecting Lots 21, 22, 23 and 24.
5. Approval by the County of an exception for length of a cul-de-sac,
affecting the length of A Drive and B Court; and the length of Ironwood Place, as shown on the
VTM.
6. Approval by the County of an exception to the radius of right of way of the
public cul-de-sac shown on the VTM as 40 ft., as opposed to 45 ft.
7. Approval by the County of an exception to the Creek Structure Setback
Line at street creek crossings and encroachment of A Drive as shown on the VTM.
8. Approval by the County of an exception to Collect and Convey for the
minor diversion of storm drainage within the project as shown on the VTM.
9. Approval by the County of an exception to the Creek Structure Setback
Line for bridge structures at creek crossings of A Lane and B Court as shown on the VTM.
10. Approval by the County of this Agreement.
F. The County anticipates that during the Term (as defined below) of this
Agreement and subsequent to the Effective Date, Developer will seek from County certain other
implementing approvals, entitlements, and permits that are necessary or desirable for the
Project (each a “Subsequent Approval,” and collectively the “Subsequent Approvals”). The
Subsequent Approvals are any that may be necessary or desirable to develop the Project and
may include, but are not limited to, conditional use permits, design review approval, tree
removal permits, acceptance or vacation of minor portions of rights of way, lot line adjustments,
demolition permits, encroachment permits, site development permits, building permits, and any
amendments to the foregoing. The Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed to be a part of the
Project Approvals as and when they are approved by the County.
G. Consistent with Government Code section 65867 and County Ordinance Code
section 26-2.408, the County Planning Commission held a public hearing on an application for
this Agreement on August 14, 2019. The County Planning Commission recommended that the
County Board of Supervisors approve this Agreement and a vesting tentative map (the
“Approval”).
H. Consistent with Government Code section 65867, the County Board of
Supervisors held a public hearing on an application for this Agreement on September 24, 2019
and adopted Ordinance No. 2019-26 to approve this Agreement. Prior to adopting that
ordinance, the County Board of Supervisors approved the Approval recommended by the
Planning Commission.
I. To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, the County Planning
Commission on August 14, 2019 certified an environmental impact report {the “EIR”) and
approved a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan (the “MMRP”) for the Project, and made
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 130
BCML\53212\1419815.6 3
findings. The EIR and the MMRP have been certified and adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
Since that EIR was certified, there have been no substantial changes to the Project or the
circumstances under which it will be undertaken, and no new information has become available,
that would require a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report to be prepared.
J. The County, by electing to enter into this contractual agreement, acknowledges
that the obligations of the County shall survive beyond the term or terms of the present Board of
Supervisors and that such action will serve to bind the County and future Boards to the
obligations thereby undertaken. By approving this Agreement, the Board of Supervisors has
elected to exercise certain governmental powers at the time of entering into this Agreement
rather than deferring its actions to some undetermined future date. The terms and conditions of
this Agreement have undergone extensive review by both the County and its Board and have
found to be fair, just and reasonable, and the County has concluded that the pursuit of the
Project will serve the best interests of its citizens, and the public health, safety and welfare will
be best served by entering into this obligation.
K. The Board of Supervisors has made a finding that this Agreement is consistent
with the County’s General Plan and the County Ordinance Code, both as amended by the
Approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants, and provisions set
forth herein, the receipt and adequacy of which consideration is acknowledged, County and
Developer agree as follows.
AGREEMENT
Article I. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT,
EFFECTIVE DATE, AND TERM.
Section 1.01. Description of Subject Property. This Agreement vests laws applicable to
development and/or redevelopment of the Subject Property for the Project on the Subject
Property, as more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit A.
Section 1.02. Proposed Development. Consistent with the Approval, Developer may develop
the Project on the Subject Property.
Section 1.03. Effective Date. The rights, duties, and obligations hereunder shall be effective
and the Term (as defined in Section 1.05) shall commence on the “Effective Date,” which shall
be the date this Agreement is executed by the Parties following (a) the effective date of the
ordinance adopted by the County Board of Supervisors approving this Agreement, and (b) the
effective date of the Approval.
Section 1.04. Term. The term of this Development Agreement shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall expire fifteen (15) years thereafter (“Term”), unless it is sooner
terminated, or unless it is extended as provided in Section 1.05.
Section 1.05. Term of Vested Components and Permits. The term of any parcel map, tentative
subdivision map, vesting parcel map or vesting tentative subdivision map which may be
approved as a part of the Project Approvals, any subdivision agreement related to the
development of the Property or any portion thereof, (“Vested Components”) shall automatically
be extended (pursuant to Government Code section 66452.6(a)) for the longer of: (i) the Term,
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 131
BCML\53212\1419815.6 4
or (ii) the term of the particular map otherwise allowed under the Subdivision Map Act
(Government Code sections 66410 et seq.), and the County’s subdivision ordinance. The term
of any permits or other entitlements for development for all or any part of the Property shall be
extended (pursuant to Government Code section 65863.9), for the longer of: (i) the Term, (ii) the
term of that permit or other entitlement, or (iii) the term of the subdivision map relating to that
portion of the Property that is the subject of the permit or other entitlement.
Section 1.06. Extension/Tolling of Term. The Term of this Agreement may be extended or
tolled as provided in this Section 1.06. beyond the Initial Term only in the manner provided in
this Section 1.06.
(a) Extension for Enforced Delay. If Developer encounters an Enforced Delay (as
defined in this Section) and desires to extend the Term because of that delay, Developer shall
give the County written notice of the Enforced Delay. If that written notice does not state the
duration of the Enforced Delay because the delay remains ongoing, Developer shall give the
County written notice of the date the Enforced Delay ends within ninety (90) days after the end
of the delay. Following the end of the Enforced Delay, the County Director of Conservation and
Development will provide Developer written notice of the extension of the Term, which shall be
extended for as many days as the Enforced Delay occurs, as determined by the County Director
of Conservation and Development in his or her sole discretion. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Enforced Delay” means a delay or default resulting arising only from one or more
of the following: (A) a natural disaster or other Force Majeure, (B) an accident that requires all
development activities to stop; (C) the interruption of services by suppliers for a substantial
period of time when no alternative suppliers are available, (D) the unavailability of construction
materials for a substantial period of time when no substitute materials are available, (E) war,
civil disturbance, or riot where martial law is declared, or (F) any other severe occurrence that is
beyond Developer’s reasonable control, as determined by the County Director of Conservation
and Development in his or her sole discretion.
(b) Tolling for Third-Party Lawsuit. If a third-party files a lawsuit to challenge this
Agreement, the County’s certification of the EIR, the Approval, or the Subsequent Approvals
(each a “Third-Party Lawsuit”), Developer may request that the Term be tolled during the
pendency of the Third-Party Lawsuit by providing a written notice (“Tolling Notice”) to the
County within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the lawsuit. The tolling of the Term
will begin upon the County’s receipt of the Tolling Notice, and it will end on the earliest of the
following to occur: (A) the date on which a court issues a final judgment in the Third-Party
Lawsuit and the expiration of all appeal periods following that judgment, or (B) the date the
Third-Party Lawsuit is dismissed. If, in a Third-Party Lawsuit, the court issues a temporary
restraining order or injunction prohibiting Developer from taking actions to proceed with the
Project, the Term will automatically be tolled beginning on the date the temporary restraining
order or injunction is issued, and ending on the date the temporary restraining order or
injunction is lifted or vacated.
(c) Tolling for Initiative or Referendum. If the subject of an initiative petition or
referendum petition would overturn, set aside, or substantially modify the Approval or the
Subsequent Approvals, or otherwise substantially impair the development of the Subject
Property for the Project, the Term shall be automatically tolled beginning on the date that the
initiative or referendum petition is submitted to the County elections official for signature
verification, and ending on the date that the last of the following occurs: (A) the date the County
elections official determines the petition does not include a sufficient number of signatures, (B)
the date the Board of Supervisors, in lieu of an election, either adopts the ordinance without
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 132
BCML\53212\1419815.6 5
alteration (initiative), or repeals the ordinance (referendum), pursuant to Elections Code section
9118 or 9145, or (C) the date of the election on the measure, if placed on the ballot.
Article II. STANDARDS, LAWS, AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING THE PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT.
Section 2.01. Vested Right to Develop. Developer shall have the right to pursue the Project in
accordance with the Applicable Law (defined in Section 2.03), including the Project Approvals,
the Subsequent Approvals after they are granted, and the provisions of this Agreement, and
including, without limitation, Developer’s vested right to develop the Project on the Subject
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, County
will apply to the Project the then-current California Building Standards Codes (including the
California Fire Code), and all local amendments to those codes, to the extent that the codes
have been adopted by County or the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and are in
effect on a Countywide basis. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this
Agreement and the Applicable Law, or between this Agreement and any Subsequent Approvals,
to the fullest extent legally possible, this Agreement shall prevail and control.
Section 2.02. Development Standards. The permitted uses of the Subject Property, the density
and intensity of uses, the maximum height, bulk, and size of the proposed building, provisions
for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes and the location of public
improvements, the general location of public utilities, and other terms and conditions of
development applicable to the Project shall be as set forth in the Applicable Law (defined in
Section 2.03), the Approval, and the Subsequent Approvals (collectively, “Development
Standards”).
Section 2.03. Applicable Law. “Applicable Law” consists of the rules, regulations, and official
policies governing the Development Standards in Section 2.02 applicable to the Project existing
as of the Effective Date, as supplemented and modified by the Approval, the Subsequent
Approvals once they are approved, and Later Enactments (defined in Section 2.05), all except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
Section 2.04. Fees. All impact fees, mitigation fees, connection fees, processing fees, and all
other fees, charges, taxes, and assessments that are vested by virtue of approval of a vesting
subdivision map pursuant to Government Code section 66498.1 that are in effect as of Effective
Date shall apply to the Project through the time periods referenced in Government Code
sections 66498.1 and 66498.5, as extended pursuant to Section 2.07 below, but not to exceed a
period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date. After expiration of these time periods,
Developer shall pay the amount of all applicable impact fees, mitigation fees, connection fees,
processing fees, and all other fees, charges, taxes, or assessments in effect at the time they are
required to be paid.
Section 2.05. No Conflicting Enactments. The County, or the electorate through the adoption
of referenda and initiatives, may enact new or modified rules, regulations, or official policies
after the Effective Date (each a “Later Enactment,” and collectively, “Later Enactments”), and
such Later Enactments shall be included within the Applicable Law. All Later Enactments shall
be applicable to the Project only to the extent that application of any Later Enactment does not
modify the Project, does not prevent or impede development of the Project, and does not
conflict with this Agreement. Any Later Enactment shall be deemed to conflict with this
Agreement if the enactment seeks to accomplish any one or more of the following results, either
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 133
BCML\53212\1419815.6 6
with specific reference to the Project or the development or redevelopment of the Subject
Property, or as part of a general enactment that would otherwise apply to the Subject Property:
(a) Reduce the density or intensity of the Project under the Applicable Law;
(b) Change any land use designation or permitted use of the Subject Property for the
Project as described in the Applicable Law;
(c) Require, for any work necessary to develop the Project on the Subject Property,
the issuance of permits, approvals, or entitlements by County other than those required by
Applicable Law; or
(d) Materially limit the processing of, the procuring of applications for, or approval of
the Subsequent Approvals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, County shall not be precluded from applying a Later
Enactment to the Project where the Later Enactment is: (a) specifically mandated by changes in
state or federal laws or regulations adopted after the Effective Date, as provided in Government
Code section 65869.5; (b) specifically mandated by a court of competent jurisdiction; (c)
required by changes to the California Building Standards Codes (including the California Fire
Code), and similar safety regulations that may change from time to time, including all local
amendments adopted by the County or the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District; or (d)
required as a result of facts, events or circumstances presently unknown or unforeseeable that
would otherwise have an immediate adverse risk on the health or safety of the surrounding
community, as determined by County in its sole discretion. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, this Agreement does not restrict County’s exercise of its police powers, and County
reserves those powers to itself.
Section 2.06. Conflict of State or Federal Laws. In the event that state and/or federal law(s)
and/or regulation(s) enacted after the Effective Date prevent or preclude compliance with one or
more provisions of this Agreement, the Party identif ying the conflict shall provide the other
Party, as soon as practicable after the conflict becomes known to the notifying Party, written
notice of the conflict, a copy of the law(s) and/or regulation(s) that give rise to the conflict, and a
statement explaining the nature of the conflict. Within thirty (30) days after that notice is given,
the Parties shall meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to modify this Agreement
so as to comply with the state and/or federal law(s) and/or regulation(s) giving rise to the
conflict, pursuant to Government Code section 65869.5. If Developer does not consent to an
amendment that is required to make this Agreement consistent with state and/or federal law(s)
and/or regulation(s) in accordance with Government Code section 65869.5, County will provide
Developer written notice of the immediate suspension of this Agreement, and the Agreement
shall remain suspended until the date the Agreement is so amended. The Term shall not be
tolled or extended for any period of suspension under this Section 2.06.
Section 2.07. Timing of Construction and Completion. The Parties acknowledge that
Developer cannot, at this time, predict when or the rate at which the Project will be constructed.
The Parties agree that there is no requirement that Developer commence or complete
construction of the Project within any particular period of time during the Term of this
Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in County Ordinance Code
sections 84-66.1406(1), 84-66.1602, and any other provisions of the County Code, County has
ordained by adopting the ordinance approving this Agreement that Developer may commence
construction at any time during the Term of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 134
BCML\53212\1419815.6 7
construction may be delayed by litigation, market factors, or other reasons. In light of the
foregoing, the Parties agree that Developer may construct the Project at the rate and time
Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, subject
to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.08. Processing Subsequent Approvals. The Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed
mechanisms to implement those final policy decisions reflected by the Approval and other
provisions of Applicable Law. Upon submission by Developer of an application for a
Subsequent Approval, County shall cooperate and diligently work to promptly process and
consider approving that application. County shall retain its discretionary authority in its
consideration of any and all Subsequent Approvals that involve discretionary decisions. The
County will consider an application for a Subsequent Approval with reference to the Applicable
Law, any applicable state or federal law, Later Enactments, and this Agreement.
Section 2.09. No Limitation on Future Discretionary Actions. Except to the extent that this
Agreement expressly provides otherwise, nothing in this Agreement requires the County, or any
of its boards or commissions, to adopt any future ordinances or resolutions, to enter into any
other agreements with Developer, or to exercise its discretion in any particular manner in the
future.
Article III. COUNTY BENEFITS; DEVELOPER FUNDING OBLIGATION.
Section 3.01. County Benefits. The County is desirous of advancing the socioeconomic
interests of the County and its residents by encouraging quality development, economic growth
and housing, thereby enhancing housing and employment opportunities for residents and
expanding the County’s tax base. The County is also desirous of encouraging development that
maintains a healthy environment for its citizens and future residents. This Agreement allows the
County to realize significant economic, recreational, park, open space, social and public
benefits, which will advance the interests and meet the needs of the County’s residents and
visitors to a greater extent than otherwise permitted.
Section 3.02. Developer Funding Obligation. Developer shall pay County Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) for County to use towards reviewing and considering an update to the
County’s tree ordinance, Chapter 816-6 of the County Ordinance Code. Developer shall make
that Fifty Thousand Dollar ($50,000) payment to County within 30 days after the Effective Date.
County shall have no obligation to account to Developer for the use of those funds, or to

3.0 MITIGATION, MONITORING, AND
REPORTING PROGRAM
The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is a California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA)-required component of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process.
As part of the CEQA environmental review procedures, Public Resources Code §21081.6
requires a public agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program to ensure efficacy
and enforceability of any mitigation measures applied to the proposed project. The lead
agency must adopt an MMRP for mitigation measures incorporated into the project or
proposed as conditions of approval. As stated in Public Resources Code §21081.6 (a)(1):
“The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made
to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid
significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be
designed to ensure compliance during project implementation.”
Table 3.0-1 represents the MMRP for the Ball Estates project (project). This table lists each
of the mitigation measures proposed in the EIR, including mitigation refined or updated in
the final EIR in Chapter 2.0, Response to Comments1, and specifies the timing and
responsible party responsible for each mitigation measure.
1 Mitigation measure text updated in this final EIR is denoted by the following conventions: additions to the
original draft EIR text are shown in underline, deletions from the original draft EIR text are shown in
strikethrough.

(early morning, dusk) and shall be of sufficient duration to observe
movement patterns. Survey results, including a description of timing,
duration, and methods used, shall be submitted to CDFW for review 48
hours prior to the initiation of the project. If a lapse in project activity of
seven days (7) or more occurs, the survey shall be repeated and no
work shall proceed until the results have been submitted to CDFW.
If nesting birds are found as described above, then no work shall be
initiated until species-specific buffers have been established in
consultation with CDFW. If CDFW does not respond within four (4) days
of receiving the survey, construction activities may proceed consistent
with the qualified biologist's recommendations on nest buffers. Buffer
areas shall be demarked from work activities and avoided until the
young have fledged, as determined by the qualified biologist. Active
nests found inside the limits of species-specific buffer zones or nests
within the vicinity of the project site showing signs of distress from
project activity as determined by the qualified biologist shall be
monitored daily during the duration of the project for changes in bird
behavior. Buffer areas of active nests within the vicinity of the project
site showing signs of distress or disruptions to nesting behaviors from

conditioning of clayey fill materials to above-optimum moisture
content should be anticipated. Detailed fill placement
recommendations will be provided based on laboratory testing
and analysis performed in conjunction with the design-level
geotechnical report.
Depending on the location and characteristics of compressible
native soils and artificial fill, some building pads may require
drilled pier and grade beam foundations to achieve the desired
level of structural support. This technique entails drilling pier holes
below the depth of seasonal moisture changes and into more
stable soils below. The pier holes are backfilled with concrete and
reinforcing steel rebar, resulting in a structure with low movement
risk.
Most of the existing fill slope located along the rear of Lots 11
through 14 and Lots 18 through 20 will require corrective grading.
For existing fills that remain in place, setbacks from the toe of the
existing fill slope can be developed based on the findings of the
design-level geotechnical exploration. In general, all proposed
improvements should be set back from the toe of the slope a
distance equal to, or greater than, the height of the existing fill
slope.
If after rough grading, testing of the pad soils determines that soils
on the project site are corrosive, the project proponent will
provide recommendation for foundations that protect building
materials (such as concrete and steel) in contact with the ground
surface.
The design-level geotechnical report will characterize shrink/swell
properties of on-site soils. Design-level mitigation will be required
to reduce the risk associated with expansive soils, which may
include the following.
Excavate expansive soils and replace with non-expansive fill
Avoid siting structures across soil materials of substantially
different expansive properties

Where development encroaches into the hilly, western areas of
the project site, remedial grading will be required to reduce the
potential for adverse impacts from slide movement and soil creep.
Specific grading measures should be developed on a case-by-case

areas. Measures may include:
Benching through the surficial soils during fill placement
Drilled pier and grade beam foundation systems to
accommodate lateral loads from soil creep
Properly engineered cut and fill slopes
Stabilization of landslide areas
Creation of sufficient buffers between the identified
landslide areas and development area
Maintenance benches should be provided at the toe of major cut
slopes (cut slopes higher than 10 feet) or natural slopes that
extend upslope of the area of planned development. The width of
the bench should be approximately 15 feet wide or as determined

necessary to reduce noise to 55 dBA Ldn at the shared property line.
Noise reduction measures could include, but are not limited to, locating
equipment in shielded and/or less noise-sensitive areas, selection of
equipment that emits low noise levels, and/or installation of noise
barriers such as enclosures to block the line of sight between the noise
source and the nearest receptors. Other feasible controls could include,
but shall not be limited to, fan silencers, enclosures, and mechanical
equipment screen walls.

Mitigation Measure NOI-2: Abatement of excessive noise from off-road
construction equipment would be accomplished by means of
temporary acoustical screens of suitable height and extent. Such
screens would completely interrupt the line-of-sight between the
equipment and receptors of the noise and would have no gaps or
openings. Efficacy would be maximized by placing screens as close to
noise sources as possible. Sound screens will be approximately 12 feet
in height and will provide approximately 8 decibels reduction in noise
levels at the first and second stories of nearby homes. When
construction noise impacts reach a level below 70 Ldn/CNEL at the
nearest homes, the temporary screens can be removed.
Construction is likely to be concentrated in one or a few contiguous
areas at a time during each phase. Therefore, sound screens need not
extend along the entire site perimeter at once, but could be shorter
and moved following the work so as to provide shielding to one or
more sensitive receptors near the work area. However, in order to

times their height past each side of the area where construction
equipment is to operate. This will minimize sound escaping around the
ends of the screens.
Mitigation Measure NOI-3: The applicant shall develop a construction
mitigation plan with input from County staff to minimize construction
noise disturbance. Considering the potential for substantial increases
in noise at adjacent residences as a result of project construction, the
following conditions shall be incorporated into contract agreements to
reduce construction noise impacts:
Restrict noise-generating activities including construction traffic at
the construction site or in areas adjacent to the construction site
to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
with no construction allowed on Federal and State weekends and
holidays.
Potential contractors shall be requested to submit information on
their noise management procedures and demonstrate a successful
track record of construction noise management on prior projects.
The selected contractor will equip all internal combustion engine
driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in
good condition and appropriate for the equipment.
The selected contractor will prohibit unnecessary idling of internal
combustion engines.
The selected contractor will locate stationary noise generating
equipment, such as air compressors or portable power generators,
as far as practical from sensitive receptors.
The selected contractor will utilize “quiet” air compressors and
other stationary noise sources where technology exists.
The selected contractor shall limit the allowable hours for the
delivery of materials or equipment to the site and truck traffic
coming to and from the site for any purpose to Monday through

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/574 supporting a Countywide one-half of one percent sales tax to fund
transportation improvements in Contra Costa County, approving a transportation expenditure plan, and
conditionally amending the Measure J growth management program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No immediate impact. The recommendation addresses an outside agency's actions, and the subject sales tax
must ultimately be approved through a countywide vote. If approved, approximately an additional $3.6
billion (current dollars) would be available for transportation projects and programs throughout the county.
In the event the proposed Sales Tax/Transportation Expenditure Plan measure qualifies for the ballot,
CCTA has committed to pay the cost to place the measure on the ballot (estimated to be $1.5 million).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
sustainability, and safely and efficiently get people where they need to go. All nineteen cities in Contra
Costa and the County itself are members of the Authority. Supervisors Federal Glover and Karen
Mitchoff are the County's current representatives on the Authority's Board of Directors.
The Authority is proposing the imposition of a countywide one-half of one percent sales tax for
transportation purposes for a period of 35 years starting July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2055. Over the
past year, the Authority conducted consultations with local governments and outreach to a wide variety
of interest groups and the public in order to develop a mix of projects and programs to be funded by the
proposed sales tax. On August 28, 2019, the Authority released a proposed Transportation Expenditure
Plan (TEP) to guide the use of the proposed sales tax revenues. The proposed TEP also includes a
revised Growth Management Program (GMP), a new Complete Streets Policy, a new Road Traffic
Safety Policy, a new Transit Policy, and a new Advance Mitigation Program to help the Authority
achieve its goals to reduce future congestion, manage the impacts of growth, and expand alternatives to
the single-occupant vehicle.
The Authority also adopted Ordinance 19-01 on August 28, 2019 to conditionally amend the GMP,
which includes Attachment A: Principles of Agreement for Establishing the ULL in the Measure J TEP
(Measure J TEP) to match that found in the 2020 TEP. This amendment would only apply if the one-half
of one percent local transportation sales tax is placed on the ballot and successfully approved by the
electors on the March 3, 2020 ballot.
Currently, transportation needs significantly exceed projected revenues. Over the next 35 years, Contra
Costa County population will continue to grow, resulting in new demands on the transportation
infrastructure and additional mobility needs. The new sales tax measure is needed to keep Contra Costa
County moving and to create livable and sustainable communities.
The proposed sales tax measure is expected to generate $3.6 billion (current dollars). The TEP consists
of a set of transportation investments (funding categories), taxpayer safeguards and accountability
measures, and pertinent policies. The transportation investments are split roughly equally between
funding categories targeted at congestion relief on major commute corridors throughout Contra Costa
County and funding categories intended to improve transportation in all our communities. Overall,
approximately 54.6% of transportation investments are to be used for transit and alternative modes;
26.7% for local streets and roads; and 18.7% for Highways and Freeways.
The TEP includes stable and reliable funding (17.4% of overall funding) to each city and town and
Contra Costa County for maintenance and improvement of local roads. This is equivalent to 18% of the
sales tax revenues for the Central, East, and Southwest subregions and 15.2% of sales tax revenues for
the West subregion of Contra Costa County. Other community-based funding included bus and public
transit, pedestrian and bicycle improvements on trails and streets, safe transportation for students,
seniors and people with disabilities, and technology solutions to reduce emission and improve air
quality.
The TEP also sets forward clear policies that ensure that while communities grow, the growth is kept
within clear ULL. This will allow Contra Costa County to continue growing in a smart way, while
protecting vital open space for parks and farmland. Furthermore, increased investments in bicycle and
pedestrian facilities bring access to the outdoors to every community.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 182
The plan, if enacted, will provide the following benefits:
Smooth-flowing traffic along highways and roads;
Quicker trips and less time sitting in traffic;
Smoother pavement and fewer potholes;
Transit, where and when it’s needed;
Easier ways to get from home or work to transit stops and back home again;
Cleaner air due to reduced vehicle emissions;
More bicycle lanes and walking paths to support an active lifestyle; and
Free or reduced transit fares for students.
Additional Background
Contra Costa County passed its first transportation sales tax measure in 1988 known as Measure C.
Measure C created the Authority and provided critical transportation funding for projects throughout
Contra Costa County. Recognizing the pending expiration of Measure C, voters overwhelmingly
approved Measure J extending funding to 2034. Measures C and J provided stable funding to
cities/towns and Contra Costa County to maintain local streets and roads and established the GMP and
ULL Compliance Requirements to preserve and enhance our quality of life and promote a strong
economy. Funding was allocated to public transportation and bus operators, to service providers that
assisted students to go to school and seniors and people with disabilities to go where they needed to go.
Marque projects included the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) extensions to Pittsburg/Bay Point and
Antioch, the Caldecott Tunnel Fourth Bore, Highway 4 widening, train stations and intermodal transit
centers, and improvements to bicycle and pedestrian trails. Equally important, local funding from
Measures C and J were able to attract $4.1 billion in outside funding from state, federal and regional
sources. These leveraged funds combined with sound financial management have enabled the Authority
to complete the major projects in Measure J significantly ahead of schedule.
Despite this success, the demand for transportation services and new funding continue to grow. New
transportation technology is offering unprecedented opportunities to streamline travel, smooth traffic
flow and reduce emissions. People are increasingly valuing alternative ways to get around, such as
transit, walking and biking. As Contra Costa County’s population grows, more people are using our
highways, roads and transit. Contra Costa County’s population is also aging. Currently, about 14% of
the population is age 65 or older. By 2035, this population is expected to double to about 30%. As the
agency responsible to maintain and improve Contra Costa County’s transportation system, the Authority
envisions a future where all of our transportation systems work together for more streamlined, safe,
efficient, and convenient travel.
A set of Guiding Principles were used to develop the TEP. The Guiding Principles are collectively a
statement of values to ensure a new TEP provides transportation solutions that meet the transportation
needs of Contra Costa County's residents, businesses and travelers. The Guiding Principles consist of
(see Attachment A):
Relieve Traffic Congestion;
Transit First;
Performance Orientation;
Economic Opportunity to partially fund transportation infrastructure that is likely to result in significant job
growth;
Public Participation that collects input from Stakeholders;
Accountability and Transparency;
A Balanced and Equitable Approach to benefit all residents and regions;
Maximize Available Funding;

Contra Costa County Priorities
In early 2019, the Authority announced their intent to pursue a 2020 transportation sales tax using the
2016 Measure X as a starting place. At the Board of Supervisor's May 21, 2019 meeting, the direction to
staff was to rely on the County's 2016 Measure X priorities when engaging the Authority with this new
effort. The aspects of the 2016 priorities that resulted in the most dialog are described below in summary
and are reflected in the attached TEP in detail, page references below:
Preservation and "clean up" of the existing Urban Limit Line policy. Given the success of the program,
there was not a strong desire to make substantial changes. Due to the differences in how and when the
urban limit line was adopted by the County and the nineteen cities, there ended up being discrepancies in
how the policy is administered. As was the case with the 2016 Measure X effort, changes in the TEP are
meant to result in consistent administrative rules across all jurisdictions. Pages 31 and 33 of the attached
TEP.
Jobs and economic development were identified as some of the overarching priorities for the entire TEP
and the "Reduce and Reverse Commutes" Program, which was the "Community Development
Transportation Program" in Measure X, was successfully included and funded ($54 Million) in this current
effort. Details are in the attached TEP, in summary the program will support economic development and
job creation in areas that would reduce commute times or make use of the underutilized reverse commute
capacity in the transportation system. Pages 4 and 26 of the attached TEP.
Numerous refinements were made to the Accessible Transportation policy language. The County has
advocated for changes to this system for some time, that advocacy led to the initiation of the Accessible
Transportation Strategic (ATS) Plan which is currently underway. The TEP is refers to the ATS plan in
terms of how any new revenues would be spent. The policy statements in the TEP have set expectations for
the ATS plan, specifically that there would be a seamless coordinated countywide system and that the
system would be "user-friendly" and "customer-focused".
Transportation Investments
A one-half percent transportation sales tax for a 35-year period from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2055 is
expected to generate approximately $3.6 billion. To ensure an equitable distribution of benefits, the TEP
allocates a proportionate share of the expected revenue to each of Contra Costa County’s four
subregions based on the projected population of each subregion. The Authority used input from the
Regional Transportation Planning Committee (RTPC) for each subregion, as well as input from other
stakeholders, public opinion surveys and public comments to further allocate funding to priority projects
and programs in each subregion.
The proposed TEP is organized to focus on congestion relief along three signature corridors and on
countywide programs intended to improve transportation in local communities. A brief overview of the
major focus of the TEP follows:
A. Relieving Congestion on Highways, Interchanges and Major Roads ($1.484
billion)
Improve State Route 242 (SR242), Highway 4, Transit and the Bay Area Rapid Transit Corridor in East
County – (eBART) ($705 million);
Modernize Interstate 680 (I-680), Highway 24, Transit and BART Corridor ($536 million); and
Upgrade I-80 and I-580 (Richmond-San Rafael Bridge), Transit and BART Corridor ($243 million)
Easing traffic congestion is one of Contra Costa County residents’ highest priorities. Accordingly, the
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 184
Easing traffic congestion is one of Contra Costa County residents’ highest priorities. Accordingly, the
proposed TEP invests nearly half of the new transportation sales tax revenue toward new, modern tools
and strategies to improve traffic flow and reduce traffic congestion on Contra Costa County’s major
corridors and roads. These strategies include highway and road improvements thoughtfully integrated
with transit improvements and alternative modes.
Each of Contra Costa County’s corridors contains a major interstate or highway, a major transit line,
local roads and streets, paths, bus lines, and transit stations. Everyone is impacted by the performance of
each component of the corridor as each impacts the corridor as a whole. For example, improving transit
and transit connections will lessen traffic congestion on Contra Costa County highways. As transit
service is improved and more people take transit, fewer cars on the road translates to less traffic.
B. Improving Transportation Countywide in all of our Communities ($1.98 billion)
The proposed TEP includes many projects throughout Contra Costa County to improve our local
communities and protect Contra Costa County’s environment and quality of life. This funding spreads
into every community, through local projects and programs that improve Contra Costa County’s vast
transportation network. Funding will be allocated towards improving local roads and streets to make
them safer for all travelers. Smaller projects, such as removing bottlenecks, improving traffic signal
operations, installing traffic calming measures, and making streetscape improvements, which can make
big improvements in a community’s quality of life.
Funding will be allocated toward substantial investments in a robust transit system that provides
affordable, efficient, convenient, and accessible transit to travelers throughout Contra Costa County.
These projects will result in cleaner, safer, and more reliable trips on BART, buses, and ferries. The
transit systems will extend into parts of Contra Costa County that are currently lacking frequent transit
service. When more people take transit, traffic congestion on Contra Costa County roads and highways
will decrease, traffic will flow more smoothly, and air emissions will decrease, thereby improving air
quality in Contra Costa County. The Initial Draft TEP continues to allocate funding towards a wide array
of programs for students, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, aimed at offering safe
transportation options and improving mobility.
The following countywide programs are included in the “Improving Transportation Countywide in all of
our Communities”:
Modernize Local Roads and Improve Access to Jobs and Housing (17.4%) – The TEP provides funding
directly to every city, town and Contra Costa County so that they may make improvements to their own
local roads and streets. This is equivalent to 18% of the sales tax revenues for the Central, East, and
Southwest subregions and 15.2% of sales tax revenues for the West subregion of Contra Costa County.
Provide Convenient and Reliable Transit Service in Central, East and Southwest Contra Costa County
(10.9% of total funding) – Funding will be provided to public transit operators in the central, east, and
southwest subregions to provide cleaner, safer, and more reliable trips on buses or shuttles. This funding
will enable transit operators to improve the frequency of service on existing routes, especially high-demand
routes, increase ridership, and incentivize transit use by offsetting fares.
Increase Bus Services and Reliability in West Contra Costa County (6.9%) – Similar to above, but with a
larger share of the West County allocation to focus on expanding transit services to unserved or underserved
areas, along with more frequent and reliable bus service to all.
Improve Walking and Biking on Streets and Trails (6.0%) – The TEP contains unprecedented levels of
funding to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians in every part of Contra Costa County.
Accessible Transportation for Seniors, Veterans, and People with Disabilities (5.0%) – Funding in this
category will be used for affordable and safe countywide transportation for seniors, disabled veterans, and
other people with disabilities who cannot drive or take other transit options.
Cleaner and Safer BART (3.3%) – Funding for a suite of modernization projects at select stations to
increase safety, security, and cleanliness, and to improve the customer experience.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 185
Safe Transportation for Youth and Students (2.9%) – The TEP allocates funding towards a wide array of
transportation projects and programs for students and youth, aimed at offering safe transportation options,
such as walking, and cycling, and improving mobility.
Reduce and Reverse Commutes (1.5%) – Funding to provide transportation infrastructure to incentivize
employers to create jobs in housing-rich areas, and promote transit, shared trips, telecommuting and shifting
work schedules, all with the intent of reducing commuter traffic at peak commute times and better utilizing
available reverse commute capacity in the existing transportation infrastructure.
Reduce Emissions and Improve Air Quality (1.0%) – Funding for technology solutions to help solve the
challenges of the lack of connectivity between transportation options, resulting in reduced emissions, and
improved air quality.
C. Taxpayer Safeguards and Accountability
The Authority has approved various administrative, financial and accountability policies beginning with
the passage of Measure C in 1988 and the approval of Measure J in 2004. Certain policies relate to
administrative and accounting practices, committee structures, local hiring preference, allocation of
funds, and maintenance-of-effort are common in local transportation sales tax measures.
The major change proposed in the proposed TEP relates to the Authority’s commitment that the TEP be
a performance-based, outcome-oriented plan. Several sections were added to the Taxpayer Safeguards
for performance standards to be considered before certain projects can be funded from sales tax revenue.
The Authority envisions a process that consists of project nomination, project performance review, and
full funding commitment for the highest performing projects. The intent is to prioritize the highest
performing projects and work with project sponsors to fully fund them from one or more TEP funding
categories combined with other state, federal or regional funding sources available to the Authority.
The proposed TEP also establishes a Public Oversight Committee (POC) (replacing the current Citizens
Advisory Committee (CAC) with prescribed additional responsibilities, including oversight of fiscal and
performance audits.
D. Other Pertinent Policies
The proposed TEP includes a mix of policies included in the existing Measure J, as well as four
proposed new policies.
GMP/ULL Compliance Requirements;
Complete Streets Policy;
Advance Mitigation Program;
Transit Policy; and
Road Traffic Safety aka “Vision Zero” Policy.
The GMP/ULL Compliance Requirements continue existing policies with minor changes primarily
intended to ensure consistency across jurisdictions. Some new provisions were also added, including a
requirement that any jurisdiction with a developable hillside, ridgeline, wildlife corridor or creek is
required to approve a corresponding development and protection policy. The process to approve minor
amendments to the ULL has also been revised.
The other listed policies are new to the proposed TEP. The Complete Streets Policy, Transit Policy and
Road Traffic Safety Policy are intended to provide an overall framework for a transportation system that
is safe, sustainable, equitable, and provides for the needs of all users.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board of Supervisors does not take the recommended actions, the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority's process to bring the TEP to the voters as a measure on the March 3, 2020 ballot would
effectively end. The Authority cannot adopt a TEP until it has received approval of the County Board of
Supervisors. (Public Utilities Code, § 180206(b))

Resolution Supporting a Countywide Imposition of One-Half of One Percent Sales Tax to Fund Transportation Improvements in
Contra Costa County, Adopting the Proposed Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP), and related actions.
WHEREAS, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (hereinafter “Authority”) proposes the countywide imposition of a
one-half of one percent sales tax for transportation purposes for a period of 35 years effective July 1, 2020 through June 30,
2055; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has administered a one-half of one percent sales tax for transportation purposes since its inception on
April 1, 1989; and
WHEREAS, the Authority conducted extensive consultations with local governments and conducted outreach to a wide variety of
interest groups and the public in order to develop a TEP proposing a potential mix of projects and programs to be funded by the
proposed sales tax; and
WHEREAS, on August 28, 2019, the Authority authorized the release of a proposed TEP reflecting the results of that
consultation and outreach, and seeking concurrence on the proposed TEP from Contra Costa County and the cities/towns within
Contra Costa County; and
WHEREAS, on August 28, 2019, the Authority adopted Ordinance 19-01 to conditionally amend the GMP, which includes
Attachment A: Principles of Agreement for Establishing the ULL in the Measure J Transportation Expenditure Plan (“Measure J
TEP”) to match that found in the 2020 TEP. This amendment would only apply if the one-half of one percent local transportation
sales tax is placed on the ballot and successfully approved by the electors on the March 2020 ballot; and
WHEREAS, the proposed TEP includes measures that help reduce future congestion, manage the impacts of growth, and expand
alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle; and
WHEREAS, if the proposed TEP is ultimately adopted by the Authority and approved by the voters, the TEP would guide the
use of the proposed sales tax revenues; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Utilities Code § 180206(b), a TEP may not be adopted by the Authority until and unless the
proposed TEP has received the approval of the County Board of Supervisors and city/town councils representing both a majority
of the cities/towns in Contra Costa County and a majority of the population residing in the incorporated areas of Contra Costa
County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors finds that the proposed TEP is not
subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the proposed TEP is not a project within the meaning of
CEQA, and the Board's adoption of this resolution does not commit the Board to a definite course of action with regard to any
specific transportation improvements set forth in the proposed TEP (See 14 California Code of Regulations (CCR), § 15378,
15352). Specifically, the Board's adoption of this resolution does not constitute the approval of a CEQA project for reasons that
include, but are not limited to: (1) the proposed TEP does not authorize the construction of any projects that may result in any
direct or indirect physical change in the environment; (2) the proposed TEP is a mechanism for funding potential future
transportation projects, the timing, approval, and construction of which may be modified or not implemented depending on a
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 188
number of factors, including future site-specific CEQA environmental review; and (3) the proposed TEP is subject to further

RELIEVE TRAFFIC CONGESTION
Funding will focus on making traveling through
Contra Costa faster, more reliable, and more
predictable by, for example, reducing travel times
and moving more people with fewer cars.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
CCTA will ensure funding flows to opportunities
that maximize and directly benefit your commute.
CCTA strives for excellence in protecting the
public’s investments. We will routinely engage
with partner organizations, advisory committees,
and the County’s residents and businesses to
ensure full transparency. Our plans and results
shall be easily available to the public, and we
shall remain accessible to the public for
questions and comments.
BALANCED AND EQUITABLE APPROACH
CCTA will balance the needs and benefits for all
people and all areas of Contra Costa County to
provide an equitable and sustainable transportation
system that promotes transit options for all, social
equity, and community stabilization.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
CCTA supports creating an economic
environment that promotes job growth close to
residents’ homes or high-frequency public transit,
thereby stabilizing communities, improving access
for low-income populations and Communities of
Concern, shortening commute times, reducing
vehicle-miles traveled (VMTs), and improving air
quality. CCTA will promote local contracting and
good jobs in Contra Costa through funding of
local infrastructure projects.
MAXIMIZE AVAILABLE FUNDING
CCTA will proactively seek regional, state, and
federal funding, as well as private investments
to supplement the County’s local transportation
sales tax revenue, thereby maximizing the
total amount of funding for transportation
projects in Contra Costa County.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
CCTA will meaningfully engage with county
residents and respond to public priorities through
a comprehensive public outreach program.
TRANSIT FIRST
CCTA commits to increasing transit use by
funding solutions that reduce transit travel times,
increase transit frequencies, and give transit
vehicles priority in high-traffic periods. CCTA will
enhance transit connectivity between modes to
help promote car-free travel and the importance
of providing adequate transit service to areas
slated for significant employment and housing
growth.
PERFORMANCE ORIENTATION
CCTA is committed to a performance-oriented
approach with rigorous evaluation of
transportation solutions that meet the goals
of the TEP and state greenhouse gas (GHG)
mandates. CCTA will use transportation sales
tax funds to achieve defined outcomes
and benefits most sought by residents and
businesses. Funding will flow to the best

principles and policies.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
CCTA commits to improving the air quality in our
communities by funding projects and programs
that relieve congestion, reduce vehicle-miles
traveled (VMT) per capita, and reduce GHG.
COMMITMENT TO
GROWTH MANAGEMENT
CCTA administers countywide policies that
support thoughtful growth management to
sustain Contra Costa’s economy, preserve its
environment, and support its communities. The
advanced mitigation programs for environmental
impacts and vehicle-miles traveled (VMTs) are some
of the tools used to support the county’s growth
management policies.
COMMITMENT TO
TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION
CCTA is committed to keeping Contra Costa
County on the cutting edge of transportation
technology by continuing to incorporate
advanced technologies and emerging
innovations pursuant to the goals of the TEP.

A NEW TRANSPORTATION FUTURE
FOR CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN FUNDING
SUMMARY
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) envisions a future where all
transportation systems work together for more streamlined, safe, efficient, and
convenient travel. We’ve created a focused plan that ensures funds directly benefit
your commute. CCTA is committed to outcomes-based delivery, where all projects
meet performance targets for reduced traffic, shortened commute times, reduced
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and other mandates and goals.
This 2020 Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) focuses on innovative strategies and new
technologies that will relieve congestion, promote a strong economy, protect the environment,
promote social equity, and enhance the quality of life for all of Contra Costa County’s diverse
communities. This plan outlines projects that will achieve a broad range of goals:
Ú Relieve Traffic Congestion on Highways and Interchanges. CCTA’s goal is to
smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion for people and goods through major
corridors, to address bottlenecks and hot spots, and to make commutes smoother
and more predictable.
Ú Make Bus, Ferry, Passenger Train, and BART Rides Safer, Cleaner, and More
Reliable. Contra Costa County’s residents and travelers value safe, clean, convenient,
and affordable transit options. CCTA’s goal is to support transit operators in providing
more frequent and reliable transit services and to plan and build the infrastructure
that improves connectivity countywide.
Ú Provide Accessible and Safe Transportation for Children, Seniors, Veterans, and
People with Disabilities. CCTA will prioritize social equity and provide better mobility
options for all, especially for those with the greatest transportation barriers such as
youth, seniors, people of lower incomes, and people with disabilities.
Ú Improve Transportation in Our Communities. CCTA supports livable communities
by providing local cities and towns with funding to fix and modernize local streets,
offer safer places to walk and cycle, and improve air quality. We’re committed to
funding infrastructure that provides access to affordable housing and jobs. CCTA
also helps manage urban sprawl through its advanced mitigation programs and the
county’s growth management program.
The TEP is intentionally designed to be equitable across the entire county, based on
population. CCTA commits to delivering proportionally greater benefits to Communities
of Concern (as defined by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission) and
low-income residents. CCTA understands that access to quality transportation, jobs,
housing, education, health care, and public safety contribute to residents’ well-being.
All locally generated transportation revenue—plus any additional grant funding
CCTA receives—will be spent on local projects in Contra Costa County.

DECADES OF TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENTS AND
MANAGED GROWTH
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is responsible for maintaining and
improving the county’s transportation system by planning, funding, and delivering
critical transportation projects that connect our communities, foster a strong
economy, increase sustainability, and safely and efficiently get people where they
need to go. CCTA is also responsible for putting solutions in place to help manage
traffic by providing and connecting a wide range of transportation options.
We are proud of our accomplishments and we recognize the immense transportation
challenges still faced by county residents and businesses—particularly considering
population growth, continued development, and threats to the environment. CCTA
works to advance transportation solutions, ease congestion, and prepare Contra Costa
County for safe, future mobility.
CCTA is leading the way and presenting innovative solutions while protecting the
qualities that make Contra Costa a wonderful place to call home. We present this
Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP), which reflects where we are now and, more
importantly, our commitment to pursuing transportation policies, planning, and
investments that will get us to where we want to be in the future.
FULFILLING OUR PROMISE TO CONTRA COSTA
COUNTY VOTERS
Contra Costa County voters passed Measure C in 1988, sending a clear message
that recognized the immense need to improve the way people travel around Contra
Costa County. Voters authorized a 20-year (1989-2009) half-cent transportation
sales tax to finance improvements to the county’s overburdened transportation
infrastructure. In 1989, CCTA was born.
Measure C expired in 2009 but much was accomplished, including widening Highway
4 from Hercules to Martinez, the BART extension to Pittsburg/Bay Point, Richmond
Parkway construction, and new transit programs for seniors and people with disabilities.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 200
Contra Costa Transportation Authority

In 2004, Contra Costa County voters approved
Measure J. The measure provided for the continuation
of the county’s half-cent transportation sales tax for
twenty-five more years (2009-2034) beyond the Measure
C expiration date. Without Measures C and J funding,
CCTA would not have qualified to receive additional
federal, state, or regional funds. With a total of $1.4 billion
in Measure C and J project funds, a total of more than
$5.5 billion will be invested in vital transportation projects
in Contra Costa County through 2034, leveraging
Measure C and J funding at about a three-to-one ratio.
CCTA has delivered most of the major infrastructure
improvement projects in Measure J—such as the fourth
bore of the Caldecott Tunnels, Highway 4 East widening,
eBART extension from the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station
to Antioch, and I-680 and I-80 corridor improvements—on
an accelerated timeline to deliver its promises to voters.
CCTA periodically issues bonds to provide advance funding
to design and build major infrastructure projects. Then, the
revenue generated from the transportation sales tax is used
to pay back the bonds. By turning future Measure J revenue
into capital dollars and accelerating design and construction,
transportation projects are put into place sooner to alleviate
transportation challenges. Designing and building the
projects earlier costs less money, because the added
cost of future inflation is avoided.
As of 2018, about 80 percent of the Measure J project funds
have been expended. Remaining revenues are now going
toward repayment of bonds, fixing local streets, continuing
programs, and supporting public transportation. Without
a new TEP, the CCTA will be unable to fund any new
major projects to address pressing mobility needs.
TRANSPORTATION FOR THE NEXT
THREE-AND-A-HALF DECADES
While the existing Measure J will remain intact through
2034, this new TEP has been developed for several
reasons:
≠ All of the planned major capital improvement
projects funded by Measure J are either complete
or in construction, ahead of schedule.
≠ New transportation technology is offering
unprecedented opportunities to streamline travel
and traffic and to reduce emissions.
≠ The gap between transportation needs and
available funding is large and requires a bold
solution. The new TEP will allow local funding
to keep needed services in place and alleviate
congestion by attracting other funding sources.
≠ The demand on Contra Costa County’s roads, highways,
BART stations, and buses is increasing. The county’s
population is growing and more people are using
roads and transit. Investments are needed to maintain
and improve the current transportation system to
ensure it can effectively accommodate growth and
prepare the system for the future.
≠ People are increasingly valuing alternative ways to get
around, such as transit, walking, and biking. Our roads
need to safely accommodate all users.
≠ Contra Costa County’s population is aging. Currently,
about 14 percent of the population is age 65 or older.*
By 2035, this population is expected to double to
about 30 percent. Additionally, poverty has risen
faster in suburban areas, particularly in Solano, Contra
Costa, and Marin counties. Low-income populations
increasingly have less access to public transit and
services.** New and different transportation solutions
are needed to keep our older residents mobile, living
independently, and to maintain quality of life for all,
including low-income residents.
LOCAL FUNDING FOR LOCAL
PROJECTS
Measures C and J local transportation sales taxes have
provided a substantial and steady share of the total funding
available for transportation projects in Contra Costa
County. State and federal sources have targeted some
major projects, but local funding is needed to attract and
supplement those sources. Our local transportation sales
tax has been indispensable in helping to meet the county’s
growing needs in an era of unpredictable resources.

2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN

These local funds have allowed CCTA to compete
effectively for outside funds by providing a local
matching fund source, as required by most grants.
Measures C and J, for example, will attract $4.1
billion of additional funds for Contra Costa County
transportation projects through 2034, providing a
total investment of $5.5 billion in vital transportation
improvements.
CCTA will continue to use local transportation sales tax
revenue to attract outside funds for projects already
identified in regional and state funding measures. In
fiscal year 2017-2018 alone, more than $77 million of
California’s Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), the Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017, transportation funding
was earmarked for projects sponsored by CCTA. The
required local match for the grant was $35 million.
In other words, for every dollar Contra Costa County
taxpayers paid for these projects, the state paid two
more dollars.
Similarly, voters approved Regional Measure 3
(RM3), which was authorized and signed into
law in 2018 to fund major roadway and public
transit improvements via an increase in tolls on
the Bay Area’s seven state-owned toll bridges.
Contra Costa County projects that may benefit
from RM3 include:
≠ Interstate 80 Transit Improvements: expand bus service
along the Interstate 80 corridor
≠ Interstate 680 Transit Improvements: enhance transit
service along the Interstate 680 corridor, including
bus operations, transit centers, and real-time travel
information
≠ East Contra Costa County Transit Intermodal Station:
construct a transit intermodal center to enhance access
to eBART and the Mokelumne Bike Trail/Pedestrian
Overcrossing at Highway 4
≠ Contra Costa Interstate 680/Highway 4 Interchange
Improvements: reduce congestion and improve safety
by widening Highway 4 and adding new direct
connectors between I-680 and Highway 4
≠ Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Access (Contra Costa
approach): make improvements to reduce delays on
bridge approaches and at the toll plaza, including
improvements to the Richmond Parkway
≠ Byron Highway-Vasco Road Connector: improve
access, safety, airport connectivity, and economic
development with a new connector between Byron
Highway and Vasco Road
RM3 provides only partial funding for these projects.
Additional funding is needed to make them a reality.
The funding for this TEP will augment the existing Contra Costa County Measure J half-cent transportation sales tax by a half-cent until Measure
J expires in 2034, then continue the half-cent transportation sales tax until 2055. A sales tax will generate approximately $3.6 billion for essential
transportation improvements that touch every city, town, and community in Contra Costa County.

WHAT THIS TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
WILL ACCOMPLISH
Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s (CCTA’s) 2020 Transportation Expenditure
Plan (TEP) serves as both a roadmap and an itinerary that will guide transportation
investments for the coming 35 years. Throughout the 35-year duration of this Plan,
Contra Costa County’s population is expected to grow and change, infrastructure will
continue to age and wear out, new forms of travel will emerge, and the environment
will need continued protection. Such changes will place even more strain on the
County’s transportation systems. Without new investments in transportation, Contra
Costa will face a future with distressed and outdated infrastructure, increased traffic
on already-congested roadways, and a decrease in critical transportation services to
those with the greatest need.
CCTA strives to preserve and enhance an excellent quality of life for Contra Costa
County’s residents, businesses, and communities with convenient, reliable, and
accessible transportation. We do this through optimizing the existing transportation
system, leveraging emerging technologies, offering meaningful programs and
services, and providing seamless connections between various forms of
transportation (for example, cars, transit, cycling, and walking).
The projects in this Plan will benefit all who live and travel within Contra Costa
County. The projects will help improve the transportation network over the
coming decades to meet growing needs, while supporting economic vitality

CCTA is an internationally recognized leader in implementing transportation-related
technological solutions to help ease traffic congestion, offer alternative mobility
options for travel, provide valuable information to travelers, make it easier and more
efficient to maintain our transportation infrastructure, and many other applications
that may be currently under development. This TEP reflects CCTA’s commitment to
fully integrate applicable transportation technologies with traditional infrastructure
for the benefit of residents and travelers.
When implemented, the projects in this TEP will accomplish an array of major
transportation improvements throughout the county. These projects serve to
enhance people’s transportation options and reduce congestion on every major
transportation corridor in the county. The funding will also reach deep into the
local communities to improve residents’ quality of life and protect the County’s
natural environment.

COMMITMENT TO PERFORMANCE
The 2020 Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) will be
governed by strong performance criteria against which
funding, projects, and programming will be evaluated
and scored to ensure maximum contribution to the
guiding principles and goals of the Plan. Guidelines
will be developed through meaningful community
engagement and engagement with cities and towns,
Contra Costa County, Regional Transportation Planning
Committees, and the Public Oversight Committee to
establish the performance criteria for evaluation of
programs identified in the Policy Statements. In addition,
the Plan will meet the Governor’s Executive Order
B-16-2012 to reduce transportation-related GHG
emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. To
achieve this, CCTA commits to a goal of accelerating
zero emission vehicle (ZEV) penetration and a 15%
reduction in vehicle-miles traveled (VMTs) per capita.
ACHIEVING INTENDED OUTCOMES
The 2020 TEP was created for Contra Costa County
residents, businesses, and travelers by the communities
and people it serves. Key stakeholder groups were
convened and community outreach conducted to
understand what guiding principles, priorities, outcomes,
and results are most important to the residents and
businesses of Contra Costa County.
CCTA is fully committed to an outcomes-based
approach that includes measurable performance
targets for all principles and criteria. The TEP presents
a suite of transportation solutions that align with
guiding principles and will offer a transportation
system that supports a vibrant, modern, equitable,
and livable Contra Costa County.
CCTA will ensure funding in the TEP will achieve
the outcomes identified in the 2017 Countywide
Transportation Plan (CTP). The TEP offers equitable
transportation opportunities for all residents of Contra
Costa. In evaluating detailed funding proposals,
CCTA will ensure that expenditures benefit those
living in Communities of Concern and for minority and
low-income residents.
Every project with total costs of more than $10 million
will undergo a performance analysis and review prior
to funding being allocated. Implemented projects and
programs will also undergo a thorough analysis of their
performance to initiate program modification where
needed and/or changes in evaluation methods.
A Public Oversight Committee will provide input for
developing specific performance criteria by which
projects can be evaluated and measured. In this way,
county taxpayers can be assured that the funding is spent
responsibly to meet the county’s transportation goals.
TAXPAYER SAFEGUARDS
Over the past thirty years, CCTA has operated under a
system of rigorous taxpayer safeguards to protect the
county’s investments and to ensure that transportation sales
tax revenue is invested wisely, equitably, and transparently.
CCTA consistently achieves the highest standards in its
governmental accounting and financial reporting and ensures
full accountability in its programs and projects.
With the 2020 TEP, CCTA is fully committed to continuing
our strong accountability to Contra Costa taxpayers through
many safeguards:
≠ CCTA will continue to publish an annual budget
and strategic delivery plan that estimates expected
transportation sales tax receipts, other anticipated revenue,
and planned expenditures for the year.
≠ CCTA’s Public Oversight Committee will continue to provide
diligent oversight of all CCTA expenditures and report
its oversight activities and findings to the public through
annual audits that focus on the allocation of funding, project
performance, tracking of TEP goals, local jurisdiction
compliance, and growth management performance.
≠ CCTA will routinely inform, communicate with, and engage
its partner organizations, advisory committees, and the
County’s residents and businesses to ensure that its
programs and projects are fully transparent and best meet
the needs of its residents.
≠ CCTA will strive to balance the needs of all people and
areas of Contra Costa County to support an equitable and
sustainable transportation system for all, while ensuring
proportionally greater benefits to Communities of Concern
and low-income residents.
≠ CCTA’s regional transportation planning committees will
continue to ensure cohesion with local and subregion planning
and implementation efforts and adherence to adopted policies.
In July 2019, CCTA was the proud
recipient of Contra Costa Taxpayers
Association Silver Medal Award for
Good Governance.

PERTINENT POLICIES
CCTA implements and follows several key policies to ensure that Contra Costa’s transportation systems are in
alignment with the County’s established future vision. Full text of these policies is included in the Policy Statements
section at the end of this document. In summary, these key policies are as follows:
Growth Management Program
establishes principles that preserve
and enhance the county’s quality of
life and promotes a healthy and strong
economy through a cooperative,
multijurisdictional process for
managing growth while maintaining
local authority over land use decisions.
Urban Limit Line Compliance Policy
requires each jurisdiction to adopt and
comply with a voter-approved Urban
Limit Line, which defines the physical
limits of a jurisdiction’s future urban
development.
CCTA, with input from many stakeholders, has developed the following additional
four policies to ensure that projects align with the vision, guidelines, and requirements
for fund expenditures.
Transit Policy
sets out goals for improving, coordinating,
and modernizing transit service—along
with first- and last-mile connections to
transit—thereby increasing the percentage
of residents and commuters that may
travel conveniently by public transit.
Complete Streets Policy
encourages making local streets more
efficient and safe for all users—including
drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit
riders—and giving travelers convenient
options while minimizing the need to
widen roadways.
Advanced Mitigation Program
provides innovative ways to advance
needed infrastructure projects more
efficiently and provides more effective
conservation of natural resources such
as watersheds, wetlands, and agricultural
lands. CCTA will also begin development
of a countywide vehicle-miles traveled
(VMT) mitigation program.
Road Traffic Safety
requires all funding recipients to
systemically apply planning and
design practices that quantifiably
reduce the risk of traffic-related
deaths and severe injuries.
Both the Growth Management Program and Urban Line Limit Compliance policies, which
have been in place since Measure J began in 2009, have been enhanced in this TEP.
These policies, along with the guiding principles, will govern the funding and implementation of
the 2020 TEP.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
This Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) includes transportation-related
projects and programs to be planned, designed, funded, constructed, and/or
delivered in Contra Costa County over the next thirty-five years. This plan
anticipates an investment of approximately $3.6 billion of revenue generated
from the half-cent transportation sales tax. Contra Costa County’s local sales tax
revenue will help Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) attract additional
local, regional, state, and federal funding to augment the sales tax revenue.
The project descriptions that follow are purposefully brief and offer general
overviews of the purpose and nature of the projects. Several projects (such
as affordable transit for students, seniors, and people with disabilities) are
continuations or enhancements to ongoing work performed under Measure J.
Many other projects included in this Plan are still in the concept or planning
stages. Stakeholders and the public will have plenty of future opportunities to
help shape these projects so that they are most useful and beneficial to
residents, commuters, and visitors.
In its role as the administrator of Contra Costa County’s transportation sales
tax revenue, CCTA has instituted requirements so that taxpayer’s revenue is
invested per established policies, as presented in the Policy Statements section
of this TEP. The policy statements generally require that recipients of funding
perform advance performance assessments and comply with applicable laws
and other CCTA policies. The Taxpayer Safeguards and Accountability Policy
in the Policy Statements section includes the full statement of funding
requirements and restrictions, as applicable.
CCTA sets aside funding to implement the countywide Growth Management
Program, prepare the countywide transportation plan, and support the
programming and monitoring of federal and state funds, as well as CCTA’s
Congestion Management Agency functions. A very small percentage of the
funding also covers basic administrative functions (such as salaries) and
basic expenses (such as rent).

RELIEVING CONGESTION ON HIGHWAYS,
INTERCHANGES, AND MAJOR ROADS
More than 79 percent of Contra Costa County’s residents drive
to work; several of Contra Costa County’s highways have been
identified as the “most congested in the San Francisco Bay Area.”**
Easing traffic congestion is one of Contra Costa County residents’
highest priorities. Accordingly, CCTA will invest nearly half of
the new transportation sales tax revenue toward new, modern
tools and strategies to improve traffic flow and reduce traffic
congestion on the county’s major corridors and roads. These
strategies include highway and road improvements thoughtfully
integrated with transit improvements and alternative modes.
Improving transit and transit connections will lessen traffic
congestion on the County’s highways; as transit service is
improved and more people take transit, fewer cars on the
road translates to less traffic.
CCTA is committed to improving access to jobs throughout
Contra Costa and supporting economic development through
programs and projects in this Transportation Expenditure Plan
such as the Northern Waterfront Initiative. Programs and projects
will support housing within planned or established job centers
that are served by transit, or that aid economic development and
job creation.
Projects will be subject to applicable policies as presented in the
Policy Statements section at the end of this document.

WHAT’S A CORRIDOR?
A corridor is a swath or belt of land
that contains one or more types of
transportation infrastructure, such as a
road or railway. Each of Contra Costa
County’s corridors contains a major
interstate or highway as well as a major
transit line; roads, streets, paths, bus
lines, and transit stations.
Everyone is impacted by the performance
of corridors. This impact is felt each
and every day, whether you’re doing
your daily commute, heading to a
medical appointment, or traveling to a
youth soccer game. CCTA is focused
on optimizing all transportation within
a corridor so that traffic is smooth,
transit is convenient, and all systems
work together to support travel across
communities and throughout the region.
For purposes of this Transportation
Expenditure Plan, CCTA is focused
on three major transportation corridor
improvement categories:
» Improve State Route 242, Highway 4,
Transit, and eBART Corridor
» Modernize I-680, Highway 4, Transit,
and BART Corridor
» Enhance I-80, I-580 ( Richmond-San

ALONG HIGHWAY 4 AND SR-242
CCTA is continuing its work in easing traffic congestion, smoothing traffic flow, and
reducing travel time along Highway 4 and
SR-242 with a blend of projects that may be
considered:
• Improving access to jobs and support economic development along the northern waterfront
• Improving access to local key destinations, including business districts and BART stations
• Reconfiguring interchanges along SR-242
• Managing traffic flow on Highway 4 by connecting and synchronizing traffic on freeways, local roads, and freeway ramps
• Completing operational improvements at the I-680/Highway 4 interchange
• Addressing bottlenecks and cooling hot spots caused by high-volume weaving areas and adding auxiliary lanes and improving ramps between SR-242 and Bailey Road
• Providing incentives to encourage the use of transit and alternative transportation options
IMPROVE LOCAL ACCESS TO
HIGHWAY 4 AND BYRON AIRPORT
CCTA has developed a multipronged approach
to reducing traffic congestion and improving
safety and travel time reliability on the roads
through and around Byron. These projects will
also facilitate economic development and goods
movement in East Contra Costa County. Key
projects may consider:
• A new limited-access connector between Byron Highway and Vasco Road south of Camino Diablo to improve access to Byron Airport, making it a more useful transportation hub
• Improvements to Vasco Road and Byron Highway, and other safety improvements
• Interchange improvements along Highway 4 at Balfour Road, Marsh Creek Road, Walnut Boulevard, and Camino Diablo
• Enhancements to the Byron Airport
• Improve access to jobs and support economic development along the Northern Waterfront
These projects will include measures to
prevent growth outside predefined urban limit
lines, for example, prohibitions on roadway
access from adjacent properties, permanent
protection and/or acquisition of agricultural
lands or critical habitat, and habitat
conservation measures.
ADDITIONAL eBART TRAIN CARS
Trains are full with standing room only during
commute hours. Funding will be considered
for allocation toward purchasing additional
eBART train cars so that trains can carry
more passengers on this popular route.

ENHANCE FERRY SERVICE AND
COMMUTER RAIL IN EAST AND
CENTRAL COUNTY
To help travelers make convenient connections
between the Capitol Corridor and San
Joaquin train system and the BART system,
CCTA proposes to fund new stations and improvements to existing stations and rail
facilities. Some example projects may include
a new train station for the San Joaquin line and
a park-and-ride lot in Oakley, new connections
between the new Oakley station and Antioch
eBART, and a transit connection from the
Martinez Amtrak station to the North Concord
BART station.
CCTA is also considering expanding ferry
service between Martinez and Antioch. As
more people use ferries and the passenger
train, traffic congestion on Contra Costa
County’s roads and highways will decrease,
traffic will flow more smoothly, and air
emissions will decrease, thereby
improving the County’s air quality.
SEAMLESS CONNECTED
TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
Contra Costa County’s transportation system
is a mix of freeways to bike paths, trains to
shuttles, and many other modes in between.
Providing seamless connectivity among
these many travel options will ensure that
our system can meet the future needs of our
growing and aging population.
CCTA will develop guidelines and implement
systems to promote connectivity between all
users of the transportation network (vehicles,
pedestrians, bicycles, buses, trucks, etc.) using
automation technology and taking advantage of
future transportation technology trends.

IMPROVING TRANSIT AND TRANSPORTATION
COUNTYWIDE IN ALL OUR COMMUNITIES
The quality of roads and availability of transportation options are two
major factors in making our communities great places to live, as are the
availability of jobs, safety, access to parks and trails, and good clean air
and water. CCTA will implement many projects throughout the county
to improve our local communities and protect Contra Costa County’s
environment and quality of life.
The previous section of this TEP presented investments focused
on Contra Costa County’s major corridors. This section describes
funding that spreads into every community, through local projects and
programs that improve the County’s vast transportation network.
Funding will be allocated toward improving local roads and streets to
make them safer for all travelers. Smaller projects—such as removing
bottlenecks, improving traffic signal operations, installing traffic calming
measures, and making streetscape improvements—can make big
improvements in a community’s quality of life.
Funding will be allocated toward substantial investments in a robust
transit system that provides affordable, efficient, convenient, and
accessible transit to travelers throughout the county. These projects
will result in cleaner, safer, and more reliable trips on BART, buses,
and ferries. The transit systems will extend into parts of the county
that are currently lacking frequent transit service. When more people
take transit, traffic congestion on the County’s roads and highways
will decrease, traffic will flow more smoothly, and air emissions will
decrease, thereby improving the county’s air quality.
CCTA is committed to supporting accessible and safe transportation for
all Contra Costa County residents. CCTA will allocate funding toward
a wide array of programs for students, seniors, veterans, and people
with disabilities, aimed at offering safe transportation options and
improving mobility.
Projects will be subject to applicable policies as presented in the Policy
Statement section.

MODERNIZE LOCAL ROADS AND
IMPROVE ACCESS TO JOB CENTERS
AND HOUSING
Smooth, pothole-free roads, safe intersections,
pleasant sidewalks, safe bike lanes, and clean
air are some of the important features that
make Contra Costa County a great place to
live and work.
CCTA will provide funding directly to the county’s cities, towns, and unincorporated
areas so that they may make improvements
to their own local roads, streets, and access to
job centers and housing.
To ensure transparency and accountability,
local agencies report annually on the amount
spent on roadway maintenance, bicycle and
pedestrian facilities, transit facilities, and other
roadway improvements. Local agencies must
also meet the requirements set forth in the
Growth Management Program, Urban Limit
Line Compliance Requirements, Transit Policy,
Complete Streets Policy, Road Traffic Safety
Policy, and other applicable policies in the
Policy Statements section.
IMPROVE WALKING AND BIKING ON
STREETS AND TRAILS
Numerous studies and research across many
different communities have demonstrated the
benefits of creating an environment where
walking and bicycling are safe, comfortable,
and convenient. For example, increased
walking and bicycling can improve air
quality by reducing emissions and energy
use from motor vehicles, improving access by
foot or bike can make transit more convenient,
and regular walking and bicycling can improve
people’s health and reduce mortality rates and
health care costs.
This TEP contains unprecedented levels
of funding to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians in every part of the county—from local street improvements
to trail enhancements and similar projects.
Funding will be considered to implement
projects in the Contra Costa Countywide
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. CCTA will
develop program guidelines for a competitive
project-selection process that maximizes
benefits for all users. All funding will be
consistent with CCTA’s Complete Streets,
Road Traffic Safety, and other applicable
policies.
Approximately one-fifth of the funds will be
considered for allocation to the East Bay
Regional Park District for the development,
maintenance, and rehabilitation of paved
regional trails.
SAFE TRANSPORTATION FOR YOUTH
AND STUDENTS
Drop-off and pick-up at schools often creates traffic
jams on local streets and unsafe conditions for
children. CCTA will allocate funds toward a wide
array of transportation projects and programs for
students and youth, aimed at relieving congestion,
offering safe transportation options—such as
walking and cycling—and improving mobility.
Funding will also be used for reduced fare
transit passes, transit incentives, and school bus
programs to encourage more youth and students
to use transit to attend school and afterschool
programs.
In cooperation with project sponsors in each
subregion, CCTA will establish guidelines to de-
fine priorities and maximize effectiveness. The
guidelines may require provisions such as oper-
ational efficiencies, performance criteria, parent
contributions, and reporting requirements.
REDUCE AND REVERSE COMMUTES
If people live closer to their jobs and transit,
they have less need to commute long
distances, thereby reducing traffic congestion,
vehicle-miles traveled (VMT), and greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions. Transportation
programs and projects funded out of this
category will support economic development
and job creation in Contra Costa County. All
expenditures in this category will be used to
reduce or reverse commutes.
Funding will also incentivize employers to
create local jobs in housing-rich areas and to
promote transit, shared trips, telecommuting,
and shifting work schedules, all with the
intent of reducing commuter traffic at peak
commute times and better utilizing available
reverse commute capacity in the existing
transportation infrastructure. Funding is
intended to match regional, state, or federal
grants and private-sector investment to
achieve maximum benefits and may be spent
on other regional transportation priorities
at the request of the subregion. Examples
of projects that may be funded include
new or upgraded rail crossings to “unlock”
development potential for employment
centers, rail-based goods movement
improvements, bike lanes and bike facilities
in business parks and on routes from transit
stations and/or housing to employment
centers, and other new or upgraded
transportation infrastructure intended to
strategically attract jobs to housing-rich areas.
Transit service to new employment centers
could also be funded under this category.

PROVIDE CONVENIENT AND
RELIABLE TRANSIT SERVICES IN
CENTRAL, EAST, AND SOUTHWEST
CONTRA COSTA
Although BART and rail service offers backbone
transit options to residents in central, southwest,
and east County, many neighborhoods and
communities are unserved or underserved by
bus or other transit options, meaning that transit
is not close enough to people who want to use
it and not frequent enough to be convenient.
Funding will be provided to public transit
operators in the central, east, and southwest
subregions to provide cleaner, safer, and
more reliable trips on buses or shuttles.
This funding will enable transit operators to
improve the frequency of service, especially on
high-demand routes, increase ridership, and
incentivize transit use by offsetting fares.
ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION FOR
SENIORS, VETERANS, AND PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES
Contra Costa County’s population is aging.
As people get older or become disabled and
can no longer drive, they will increasingly
rely on other ways to get around. Funding
in this category will be used for affordable,
accessible, cost-effective, and safe
countywide transportation for seniors,
disabled veterans, and other people with
disabilities who, due to age or disability,
cannot drive or take other transit options.
In collaboration with stakeholders, transit and
non-profit service providers, CCTA will develop
an Accessible Transportation Strategic Plan to
implement a customer-focused, user-friendly,
seamless coordinated system using these
funds. The Planwill be developed based on the
characteristics and abilities of all system users
and identify options including traditional and
beyond traditional paratransit services.
INCREASE BUS SERVICES AND
RELIABILITY IN WEST CONTRA
COSTA
Many people in West Contra Costa County
rely on buses and transit as their primary
means of travel. CCTA will focus on expanding
transit services to unserved or underserved
areas, along with more frequent and reliable
bus service to all. Funding will be provided to
public transit operators in the west subregion
of Contra Costa County (including AC
Transit and WestCAT) to provide cleaner,
safer, and more reliable trips on buses.
This funding will enable transit operators to
improve the frequency of service, especially
on high-demand routes, increase ridership and
incentivize transit use by offsetting fares.
CLEANER, SAFER BART
BART began operating in the early 1970s
and its stations and station equipment are
showing their age. There are eleven BART
stations located in Contra Costa County.
CCTA plans to fund a suite of modernization
projects at select stations to increase safety,
security, and cleanliness, and to improve
customer experience. Several projects will
focus on improving reliability of fare gates
and reducing fare evasion. Many of these
projects are eligible for Measure RR (BART’s
$3.5 billion general obligation bond). CCTA
will provide no more than a dollar-for-dollar
match for BART projects. BART and CCTA will
develop a countywide program to determine
how funding is allocated, evaluated, and
tracked for effectiveness. Specific funding
and maintenance of effort requirements are
required and identified in the Taxpayers
Safeguards and Accountability Policy section.
REDUCE EMISSIONS AND IMPROVE
AIR QUALITY
CCTA is a nationwide leader in sustainable,
technology-enabled transportation. We
integrate innovative technological solutions into
Contra Costa County’s transportation network
to improve traffic flow and safety, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, and offer improved
travel options. Technology solutions can help
solve the challenges of the lack of connectivity
between transportation options, resulting in
reduced emissions and improved air quality.
Eligible expenditures in this category include:
• Implementing the strategies developed in the 2019 Contra Costa Electric Vehicle Readiness Blueprint and subsequent updates
• Reducing transportation-related greenhouse gases through the utilization of a cleaner vehicle fleet, including alternative fuels and/or locally produced energy
• Preparing for a growing fleet of zero-emission vehicles by facilitating the installation of electric charging stations or alternative fuels
• Increasing utilization of nonautomobile types of transportation by expanding walking and biking paths and transit options
• Using demand management strategies designed to reduce congestion, increase use of nonautomobile transportation, increase occupancy of autos, manage existing infrastructure, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Managing parking supply to improve availability, utilization, and to reduce congestion and greenhouse gas production
Funding is intended to match regional, state,
or federal grants and private-sector investment
to achieve maximum benefits. CCTA will
develop and adopt guidelines for a competitive
project-selection process for the use of
these funds.

The Growth Management Program (GMP)
Coupled with the Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) is Contra Costa’s unique
and well-tested program for managing growth. The overall goal of the GMP
is to preserve and enhance the quality of life and promote a healthy, strong
economy to benefit the people and areas of Contra Costa through a cooperative,
multijurisdictional process for managing growth, while maintaining local authority
over land-use decisions.1
The objectives of the GMP are to:
Ú Assure that new residential, business, and commercial growth pays for the
facilities required to meet the demands resulting from that growth
Ú Require cooperative transportation and land-use planning among Contra Costa
County, cities/towns, and transportation agencies
Ú Support land-use patterns within Contra Costa that make more efficient
use of the transportation system, consistent with the General Plans of local
jurisdictions
Ú Support infill and redevelopment in existing urban and brownfield areas
The Measure J GMP, which includes Principles of Agreement for Establishing the
Urban Limit Line (ULL), is augmented and superseded by this 2020 TEP.
POLICY STATEMENTS
1. The Authority will, to the extent possible, attempt to harmonize the GMP and the State-mandated Congestion
Management Program (CMPs). To the extent they conflict, CMP activities shall take precedence over the GMP activities.

COMPONENTS
To receive its share of funding from the following
categories:
• 2020 TEP Modernize Local Roads & Improve Access to
Job Centers and Housing
• Measure J Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements
• Measure J Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC)
each jurisdiction must:
1. Adopt a Growth Management Element (GME)
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place,
a GME as part of its General Plan that outlines the
jurisdiction’s goals and policies for managing growth
and requirements for achieving those goals. The
GME must show how the jurisdiction will comply with
sections 2–9 below. The Contra Costa Transportation
Authority (Authority) will refine its model GME and
administrative procedures in consultation with the
Regional Transportation Planning Committees (RTPCs)
to reflect the revised GMP.
Each jurisdiction is encouraged to incorporate other
standards and procedures into its GME to support the
objectives and required components of this GMP.
2. Adopt a Development Mitigation Program
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place, a
Development Mitigation Program to ensure that new
growth is paying its share of the costs associated with
that growth. This program shall consist of both a local
program to mitigate impacts on local streets and other
facilities, and a regional program to fund regional and
subregional transportation projects, consistent with the
Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP).
The jurisdiction’s local Development Mitigation
Program shall ensure that revenue provided from this
measure shall not be used to replace private developer
funding that has or would have been committed to any
project.
The regional Development Mitigation Program shall
establish fees, exactions, assessments, or other
mitigation measures to fund regional or subregional
transportation improvements needed to mitigate the
impacts of planned or forecast development. Regional
mitigation programs may adjust such fees, exactions,
assessments or other mitigation measures when
developments are within walking distance of frequent
transit service or are part of a mixed-use development
of sufficient density and with necessary facilities
to support greater levels of walking and bicycling.
Each RTPC shall develop the regional Development
Mitigation Program for its region, taking account of
planned and forecast growth and the Multimodal
Transportation Service Objectives (MTSOs) and actions
to achieve them established in the Action Plans for
Routes of Regional Significance. RTPCs may use
existing regional mitigation programs, if consistent
with this section, to comply with the GMP.
3. Address Housing Options
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate reasonable progress
in providing housing opportunities for all income levels
as part of a report on the implementation of the actions
outlined in its adopted Housing Element. The report will
demonstrate progress by one of the following:
a. Comparing the number of housing units approved,
constructed, or occupied within the jurisdiction over
the preceding five years with the average number
of units needed each year to meet the housing
objectives established in the jurisdiction’s Housing
Element
b. Illustrating how the jurisdiction has adequately
planned to meet the existing and projected
housing needs through the adoption of land use
plans and regulatory systems that provide
opportunities for, and do not unduly constrain,
housing development
c. Illustrating how a jurisdiction’s General Plan and
zoning regulations facilitate the improvement and
development of sufficient housing to meet those
objectives
Jurisdictions will provide prepared reports regarding
the production and preservation of affordable units as
provided for in the Annual Housing Elements Progress
Report and subsequent reports.
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate meaningful
progress in preserving existing affordable units for
lower-income residents by adopting and implementing
locally appropriate antidisplacement and affordable
housing policies, for example, preservation of affordable
housing, density bonus ordinance and/or inclusionary
zoning, to support community stabilization.

Jurisdictions are subject to California’s Surplus Land
Act, which includes the disposition of surplus land,
and each jurisdiction will affirm whether it complies
with the surplus Land Act and whether it maintains an
inventory of all public land in its jurisdiction that adheres
to applicable Surplus Land Act and Government Code
50569 requirements and makes the inventory available
to the public.
Each jurisdiction will indicate whether it adheres to
applicable local, state, or federal policies or laws
regarding tenant protection and whether it has
prepared the reports required by such polices or laws
and made the reports available to the public.
In addition, each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts
that its land use and development policies have on the
local, regional, and countywide transportation system,
including the level of transportation capacity that can
reasonably be provided, and shall incorporate policies
and standards into its development approval process
that support transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access in
new developments.
4. Participate in an Ongoing Cooperative,
Multijurisdictional Planning Process
Each jurisdiction shall participate in an ongoing process
with other jurisdictions and agencies, the RTPCs and
the Authority to create a balanced, safe, and efficient
transportation system and to manage the impacts of
growth. Jurisdictions shall work with the RTPCs to:
a. Identify Routes of Regional Significance and
MTSOs or other tools adopted by the Authority for
measuring performance and quality of service along
routes of significance—collectively referred to as
MTSOs—for those routes and actions for achieving
those objectives
b. Apply the Authority’s travel demand model and
technical procedures to the analysis of General
Plan Amendments and developments exceeding
specified thresholds for their effect on the regional
transportation system, including on Action Plan
objectives
c. Create the Development Mitigation Programs
outlined in section 2 above
d. Help develop other plans, programs, and studies
to address other transportation and growth
management issues
In consultation with the RTPCs, each jurisdiction will
use the travel demand model to evaluate changes
to local General Plans and the impacts of major
development projects for their effects on the local
and regional transportation system and the ability to
achieve the MTSOs established in the Action Plans.
Jurisdictions shall also participate in the Authority’s
ongoing countywide comprehensive transportation
planning process. As part of this process, the Authority
shall support countywide and subregional planning
efforts, including the Action Plans for Routes of
Regional Significance, and shall maintain a travel
demand model. Jurisdictions shall help maintain
the Authority’s travel demand modeling system by
providing information on proposed improvements to
the transportation system and planned and approved
development within the jurisdiction.
5. Continuously Comply with an Urban Limit Line (ULL)
To be found in compliance with this element of the
Authority’s GMP, all jurisdictions must continually
comply with an applicable voter approved ULL. Said
ULL may either be the Contra Costa County voter
approved ULL (County ULL) or a locally initiated, voter
approved ULL (LV-ULL).
Additional information and detailed compliance
requirements for the ULL are fully defined in the
ULL Compliance Requirements, which are
incorporated herein.
Either of the following actions by a local jurisdiction will
constitute noncompliance with the GMP:
a. The submittal of an annexation request to the Local
Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) for lands
outside of a jurisdiction’s applicable ULL.
b. Failure to conform to the Authority’s ULL
Compliance Requirements.
6. Develop a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program
(CIP)
Each jurisdiction shall prepare and maintain a CIP that
outlines the capital projects needed to implement the
goals and policies of the jurisdiction’s General Plan for
at least the following five-year period. The CIP shall
include approved projects and an analysis of the costs
of the proposed projects as well as a financial plan
for providing the improvements. The jurisdiction shall
forward the transportation component of its CIP to the
Authority for incorporation into the Authority’s database
of transportation projects.

improve the traffic safety of all users in the planning,
design, and construction of projects funded with Measure
funds. Jurisdictions shall document their level of effort to
implement these policies, including during requests for
funding, peer review of project design, and as part of the
newly added compliance requirement in the biennial GMP
Checklist.
ALLOCATION OF FUNDS
Portions of the monies received from the retail transaction
and use tax will be returned to the local jurisdictions (the
cities/towns and County) for use on local, subregional, and/
or regional transportation improvements and maintenance
projects. Receipt of all such funds requires compliance with
the GMP and the allocation procedures described below.
The funds are to be distributed on a formula based on
population and road miles.
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate its compliance with all
of the components of the GMP in a completed compliance
checklist. The jurisdiction shall submit, and the Authority
shall review and make findings regarding the jurisdiction’s
compliance with the requirements of the GMP, consistent
with the Authority’s adopted policies and procedures.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction complies
with the requirements of the GMP, it shall allocate to
the jurisdiction its share of 2020 TEP funding from the
Modernize Local Roads & Improve Access to Job Centers
and Housing category and its share of Measure J Local
Streets Maintenance & Improvements funding. Jurisdictions
may use funds allocated under this provision to comply with
these administrative requirements.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction does not
comply with the requirements of the GMP, the Authority
shall withhold funds and also make a finding that the
jurisdiction shall not be eligible to receive Measure J TLC
funds until the Authority determines that the jurisdiction
has achieved compliance. The Authority’s findings of
noncompliance may set deadlines and conditions for
achieving compliance.
Withholding of funds, reinstatement of compliance,
reallocation of funds, and treatment of unallocated funds
shall be as established in adopted Authority policies and
procedures.
7. Adopt a Transportation Systems Management (TSM)
Ordinance or Resolution
To promote carpools, vanpools, and park-and-ride
lots, each jurisdiction shall adopt a local ordinance or
resolution that conforms to the model TSM ordinance
that the Authority has drafted and adopted. Upon
approval of the Authority, cities/towns with a small
employment base may adopt alternative mitigation
measures in lieu of a TSM ordinance or resolution.
8. Adopt Additional Growth Management Policies, as
applicable
Each jurisdiction shall adopt and thereafter
continuously maintain the following policies (where
applicable):
a. Hillside Development Policy
b. Ridgeline Protection Policy
c. Wildlife Corridor Policy
d. Creek Development Policy
Where a jurisdiction does not have a developable
hillside, ridgeline, wildlife corridor, or creek, it need
not adopt the corresponding policy. An ordinance
that implements the East Contra Costa Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP)/Natural Community
Preservation Plan Act (NCCP) shall satisfy the
requirement to have an adopted Wildlife Corridor
Policy and Creek Development Policy. In addition to the
above, jurisdictions with Prime Farmland and Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Prime/Statewide)—as defined
by the California Department of Conservation and
mapped by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program—within their planning areas but outside of
their city/town shall adopt and thereafter continuously
maintain an Agricultural Protection Policy. The policy
must ensure that potential impacts of converting
Prime/Statewide outside the ULL to other uses are
identified and disclosed when considering such a
conversion. The applicable policies are required to
be in place by no later than July 1, 2022.
9. Adopt a Complete Streets Policy and Vision Zero
Policy
Each jurisdiction shall adopt a Complete Streets Policy,
consistent with the California Complete Streets Act
of 2008 (AB 1358) and with the Authority’s Complete
Streets Policy, which accommodates all users of travel
modes in the public right-of-way. Each jurisdiction
shall also adopt a Vision Zero Policy that substantially
complies with the Authority’s Model Vision Zero Policy
and reflects best practices for street design elements
and programs to mitigate human error and quantifiably

approval at any time during the term of the Authority’s
GMP by adopting a LV-ULL in accordance with the
requirements outlined for a LV-ULL contained in the
definitions section.
2. A local jurisdiction may revise its LV-ULL with local voter
approval at any time during the term of the Authority’s
GMP if the resultant ULL meets the requirements
outlined for a LV-ULL contained in the definitions section.
3. If voters, through a countywide ballot measure, approve
a revision to the County ULL, the legislative body of each
local jurisdiction relying on the County ULL shall:
a. Accept and approve its existing ULL to continue as its
applicable ULL, or
b. Accept and approve the revised County ULL as its
applicable ULL, or
c. Adopt a LV-ULL in accordance with the requirements
outlined for a LV-ULL contained in the definitions
section
However, if any Countywide measure to approve a
revision to the County ULL fails, then the legislative body
of each local jurisdiction relying on the prior County ULL
may accept and approve the existing County ULL.

• A natural or man-made disaster or public
emergency has occurred that warrants the
provision of housing and/or other community
needs within land located outside the ULL
• An objective study has determined that the ULL
is preventing the jurisdiction from providing its fair
share of affordable housing or regional housing, as
required by state law, and the governing elected
legislative body finds that a change to the ULL is
necessary and is the only feasible means to enable
the County jurisdiction to meet these requirements
of state law
• A majority of the cities/towns that are party to a
preservation agreement and the County have
approved a change to the ULL affecting all or any
portion of the land covered by the preservation
agreement
• A minor change to the ULL will more accurately
reflect topographical characteristics or legal
boundaries
• A five-year cyclical review of the ULL has
determined, based on the criteria and factors
for establishing the ULL set forth in Contra
Costa County Code (Section 82-1.010), that new
information is available (from city/town, County
growth management studies, or otherwise) or
circumstances have changed, warranting a
change to the ULL
• An objective study has determined that a change
to the ULL is necessary or desirable to further
the economic viability of the East Contra Costa
County Airport, and either (i) mitigate adverse
aviation-related environmental or community
impacts attributable to Buchanan Field, or (ii)
further the County’s aviation related needs
• A change is required to conform to applicable
California or Federal law
c. Adoption of a finding that the proposed Minor
Adjustment will have a public benefit. Said public
benefit could include, but is not necessarily
limited to, enhanced mobility of people or goods,
environmental protections or enhancements,
improved air quality or land use, enhanced public
safety or security, housing or jobs, infrastructure
preservation, or other significant positive
community effects as defined by the local land
use authority. If the proposed Minor Adjustment
to the ULL is proposed to accommodate housing
or commercial development, said proposal must
include permanent environmental protections or
enhancements, such as the permanent protection
of agricultural lands, the dedication of open space
or the establishment of permanent conservation
easements.
d. The Minor Adjustment is not contiguous to one or
more non-voter approved Minor Adjustments that in
total exceeds 30 acres.
e. The Minor Adjustment does not create a pocket of
land outside the existing ULL, specifically to avoid
the possibility of a jurisdiction wanting to fill in that
land subsequently through separate adjustments.
f. Any jurisdiction proposing to process a Minor
Adjustment to its applicable ULL that impacts
FMMP is required to have an adopted Agricultural
Protection Ordinance or must demonstrate how the
loss of these agricultural lands will be mitigated by
permanently protecting farmland.
5. A local jurisdiction may revise its LV-ULL, and the
County may revise the County ULL, to address issues
of unconstitutional takings or conformance to State or
Federal law.
CONDITIONS OF COMPLIANCE
1. Submittal of an annexation request by a local
jurisdiction to LAFCO outside of an approved ULL will

transit, and increasing the availability of bicycle lanes
and secure bicycle parking.
e. Parking policies for areas well served by public transit
shall be designed to encourage travel by public transit
and alternative transportation.
f. The ability to reduce traffic congestion depends
on the adequacy of regional public transportation.
The cities/towns and County shall promote the use
of transit and the continued development of an
integrated and reliable regional public
transportation system.
g. The cities/towns and County shall encourage
innovative solutions to meet public transportation
needs wherever possible.
2. All transit operators that receive funding from the TEP
shall participate in the development of an ITP to identify
how to utilize funding to better coordinate and integrate
transit services countywide. The ITP should guide how
the TEP funding dedicated to Transit and Alternative
Modes categories can be used to implement the Transit
Policy Vision:
a. The ITP will be developed and managed under the
leadership of the Authority and the County’s transit
operators. The Authority and the transit operators
shall coordinate with transportation service providers
in Contra Costa to inform the development of the
ITP. Transit operators shall consult with the Regional
Transportation Planning Committees (RTPCs) in
developing the ITP.
b. The ITP will focus on delivering a streamlined and
unified experience for the customer across all modes
Transit Policy
VISION
This Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) envisions
a transportation system that provides reliable, safe,
comfortable and convenient access for all users of
the transportation system, regardless of mode choice
and travel characteristics. The TEP further envisions a
public transit system that provides convenient, safe,
affordable, and reliable service and which offers an
attractive alternative to private automobile usage. The
Transit Policy Vision includes the infrastructure needed
to accommodate a more robust transportation system for
Contra Costa County that promotes greater use of transit
and other shared mobility alternatives by prioritizing
the movement of people rather than single-occupancy
vehicles across the network. The TEP aims to improve
transit countywide and reduce commute travel times,
deliver more frequent and reliable service, expand
transit service areas, and provide better connections to
and from transit by various modes of mobility options.
Improving the coordination among transit operators
and integrating the existing transit systems with new
technological tools and platforms to enhance customer
access and experience should increase the share of
residents and employees who choose public transit.
Doing so will reduce congestion, improve air quality, and
accommodate a growing population.
To achieve this vision, the TEP allocates more than
one-half of the expected sales tax revenue to Transit
and Alternative Modes and approximately one-quarter
for local road improvements. To provide the maximum
benefits to Contra Costa residents, the Contra Costa
Transportation Authority (Authority) adopts the following
policies and principles for use of transit funds authorized
in the TEP:
POLICY
1. The Policy shall promote Transit First and guide
the development of an Integrated Transit Plan (ITP).
In the context of this Policy, Transit First considers the
following to provide a seamless and integrated
transportation system:
a. Decisions regarding the use of limited public
street and sidewalk space shall prioritize the use
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 228
Contra Costa Transportation Authority
36
and transit operators should identify transit service
investments (i.e., new routes, service hours,
frequency), capital projects/assets (i.e., transit
centers, bus stops, stop amenities, vehicles), and
transit priority measures (i.e., transit signal priority,
bus lanes, queue jumps) to be funded from the TEP.
c. The ITP shall demonstrate reduction in vehicle-miles
traveled (VMT) per capita and greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions to meet the Authority’s countywide
goals. Transit service investments, capital projects/
assets, and transit priority measures to be funded
from the TEP shall reduce VMT and GHG emissions
or participate in the VMT Mitigation Program.
d. Prioritization for TEP funding should consider
projects that can leverage other state, federal, or
local funding.
e. The ITP shall be updated at least every five years
to address new technology opportunities, any
changes in demand, and other conditions.
3. Transit operators in Contra Costa County shall
incorporate the findings and recommendations of
the ITP pertinent to each operator’s service area into
their respective Short-Range Transit Plans (SRTP).
The SRTPs shall be reviewed for consistency with
the ITP associated with this TEP.
4. Allocations pursuant to this TEP will be made in
support of the recommendations in the ITP. Any
recommendations in the ITP shall include
performance measures to achieve continued
funding.
5. The Authority expects transit operating funds from
the TEP to be used to support the vision of this policy.
In the event that TEP funds must be used to support
other transit services as a result of reduction of
operating funds from other sources or due to other
financial concerns, the transit operator shall update its
SRTP and submit to the Authority.
6. The Authority expects that public agencies and transit
operators leverage new and emerging technologies
to improve service and to address first-mile/last-mile
connections between transit stops and other traveler
destinations. These technologies may include, but not
be limited to, ride hailing partnerships, autonomous
shuttles, shared mobility (bikes, scooters, cars), and
mobility-on-demand platforms that best fit within each
transit operator’s service area. The ITP should address
how these technology services function within and
among service boundaries and provide a seamless
experience countywide for customers.
7. The Authority expects that recipients of TEP funding
create, analyze, and seize opportunities for fare and
schedule integration among transit operators and
any technology services adopted. Focus should be
placed on reducing inconveniences associated with
transferring between services and on having a
cost-effective, universally accepted digital payment
method. The ITP should address how Contra Costa
transit operators can maximize benefits of fare payment
and schedule integration while acknowledging current
efforts by various agencies to achieve the same goal.
8. The Authority will not fund construction of any
transit capital improvement until the project sponsor
demonstrates how the project would increase
ridership and/or decrease VMT. Funding for planning
and design—including demonstration pilots—is not
subject to this requirement.
9. All recipients of funding through this TEP shall consider
and accommodate, wherever possible, the principles
of Transit First in the planning, design, construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the
transportation system.
10. All transit operators that receive funding from the
TEP shall report how received funding benefits
Communities of Concern and low-income residents
in their jurisdictions and service areas. The ITP should
ensure proportionally greater benefits to Communities
of Concern and low-income residents.

2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
37
Complete Streets Policy
VISION
This Plan envisions a transportation system and
infrastructure in which each component provides safe,
comfortable, and convenient access for users of all ages
and abilities. These users include pedestrians, bicyclists,
transit riders, automobile drivers, taxis, Transportation
Network Companies (TNCs) and their passengers, and
truckers as well as people of varying abilities, including
children, seniors, people with disabilities, and able-bodied
adults. The goal of every transportation project is to
provide safer, more accessible facilities for all users. All
projects shall be planned, designed, constructed, and
operated to prioritize users’ life safety and accommodate
the Complete Streets concept.
By making streets more efficient and safer for all users,
a Complete Streets approach will expand capacity
and improve mobility for all users, giving commuters
convenient options for travel and minimizing the need to
widen roadways.
POLICY
To achieve this vision, all recipients of funding through
this Plan shall consider and accommodate, wherever
possible and subject to the exceptions listed in this
Policy, the needs of all users in the planning, design,
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and
maintenance of the transportation system. This
determination shall be consistent with the exceptions
listed below. Achieving this vision will require balancing
the needs of different users and may require reallocating
existing rights-of-way (ROW) for different uses.
The Authority shall revise its project development
guidelines to require the consideration and accommodation
of all users in the design and construction of projects
funded with measure funds and shall adopt peer review
and design standards to implement that approach. The
guidelines will allow flexibility in responding to the context
of each project and the needs of users specific to the
project’s context and will build on accepted best practices
for complete streets and context-sensitive design.
To ensure that this policy is carried out, the Authority shall
prepare a checklist that project sponsors using measure
funds must submit. This checklist will document how the
needs of all users were considered and how they were
accommodated in the design and construction of the
project. In the checklist, the sponsor will outline how
they provided opportunity for public input, in a public
forum, from all users early in the project development
and design process. This includes regular public review
of agency repaving programs. If the proposed project or
program will not provide context-appropriate conditions
for all users, the sponsor shall document the reasons why
in the checklist, consistent with the following section on
“exceptions” below. The completed checklist shall be
made part of the approval of programming of funding
for the project or the funding allocation resolution.
Recipients of 2020 TEP funding for the Modernize
Local Roads and Improve Access to Job Centers and
Housing category and Measure J TEP Funding from Local
Maintenance and Improvements shall adopt procedures
that ensure that all agency departments consider and
accommodate the needs of all users for projects or
programs affecting public ROW for which the agency is
responsible. These procedures shall:
1. Be consistent with the California Complete Streets Act
of 2008 (AB 1358)
2. Be consistent with and be designed to implement
each agency’s General Plan Policies once that plan
has been updated to comply with the California
Complete Streets Act of 2008 and the Authority’s
Complete Streets Policy
3. Involve and coordinate the work of all agency
departments and staff whose projects will affect
the public ROW
4. Meet or exceed the Complete Street design standards
adopted by the Authority
5. Be consistent with the adopted Local Jurisdiction
Complete Streets Policy and Authority’s Complete
Street Policy herein
6. Promote proactive data collection and traffic system
monitoring using next generation technology, such as
advance detection systems
7. Provide opportunity for public review by all potential
users early in the project development and design
phase so that options can be fully considered. This
review could be done through an advisory committee
such as a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
or as part of the review of the agency’s CIP
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 230
Contra Costa Transportation Authority
38
As part of their biennial GMP checklist, agencies shall list
projects funded by the Measure and detail how those
projects accommodated users of all modes by applying
Transit, Complete Streets, and Vision Zero Policies.
As part of the multijurisdictional planning required by the
GMP, agencies shall work with the Authority and
the RTPCs to harmonize the planning, design, and
construction of transportation facilities for all modes
within their jurisdiction with the plans of adjoining and
connecting jurisdictions.
EXCEPTIONS
Project sponsors may provide a lesser accommodation or
forgo Complete Street accommodation components when
the public works director or equivalent agency official
finds that:
1. Pedestrians, bicyclists, or other users are prohibited
by law from using the transportation facility
2. The cost of new accommodation would be
excessively disproportionate to the need or probable
use. If meeting adopted design standards is cost
prohibitive, the proposed project improvements
should be phased, or a more cost-effective solution
should be provided
3. The sponsor demonstrates that such accommodation
is not needed based on objective factors including:
a. Current and projected user demand for all modes
based on current and future land use
b. Lack of identified conflicts, both existing and
potential, between modes of travel
Project sponsors shall explicitly approve exception
findings as part of the approval of any project using
measure funds to improve streets classified as a major
collector or above.1 Prior to this project, sponsors must
provide an opportunity for public input at an approval
body (that regularly considers design issues) and/or the
governing board of the project sponsor.
1. Major Collectors and above, as defined by the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) California Road System (CRS) map.
Advance Mitigation Program
The Authority is committed to participate in the creation
and funding of an Advance Mitigation Program (AMP) as an
innovative way to advance needed infrastructure projects
more efficiently and provide more effective conservation
of our natural resources, watersheds and wetlands, and
agricultural lands. As a global biodiversity hot spot, the Bay
Area and Contra Costa County host an extraordinarily rich
array of valuable natural communities and ecosystems that
provides habitat for rare plants and wildlife and supports
residents’ health and quality of life by providing clean
drinking water, clean air, opportunities for outdoor recre-
ation, adaptation to climate change, and protection from
disasters like flooding and landslides.
Assembly Bill No. 2087 (AB 2087) outlines a program
for informing science-based, nonbinding, and voluntary
conservation actions and habitat enhancement actions
that would advance the conservation of focal species,
natural communities, and other conservation elements at
a regional scale. The AMP used AB 2087 and subsequent
guidance to integrate conservation into infrastructure
agencies’ plans and project development well in advance
and on a regional scale to reduce potential impacts of
transportation projects, as well as to drive mitigation
dollars to protect regional conservation priorities and
protect important ecological functions, watersheds and
wetlands, and agricultural lands that are at threat of loss.
The AMP will provide environmental mitigation activities
specifically required under the California Environmental
Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), Clean Water Act Section 401
and Section 404, and other applicable regulations in the
implementation of the major highway, transit, and regional
arterial and local streets and roads projects identified in
the Plan. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) (2017) created the AMP at
Caltrans to enhance opportunities for the department
to work with stakeholders to identify important project
mitigation early in the project development process
and improve environmental outcomes by mitigating the
effects of transportation projects. The Authority’s AMP
compliments advance mitigation funding from SB 1.
The Authority’s participation in an AMP is subject to the
following conditions:
1. Development and approval of a Regional
Conservation Investment Strategy (RCIS) that
identifies conservation priorities and mitigation
opportunities for all of Contra Costa County. The
RCIS established conservation goals and includes
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 231
2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
39
countywide opportunities and strategies that are,
among other requirements, consistent with and that
support the East Contra Costa Habitat Conservation
Plan (HCP)/Natural Community Preservation Plan
Act (NCCP). The RCIS will identify mitigation
opportunities for all areas of the County to ensure
that mitigation occurs in the vicinity of the project
impact to the greatest extent possible. The Authority
will review and approve the RCIS, in consultation with
the RTPCs, prior to the allocation of funds for the
AMP.
2. Development of a Project Impacts Assessment (PIA)
that identifies the portfolio of projects to be included
in the Advance Mitigation Program and the estimated
costs for mitigation of the environmental impacts of
the projects. The Authority will review and approve
the PIA prior to the allocation of funds for the AMP.
The PIA and estimated costs do not in any way limit
the amount of mitigation that may be necessary or
undertaken for the environmental impacts of the
projects.
3. Development of the legislative and regulatory
framework necessary to implement an AMP in Contra
Costa County.
4. The identification of the Implementing Agency to
administer the AMP for Contra Costa County or
portions of the Bay Area, including Contra Costa
County.
The Authority will determine the amount of funds to
be dedicated to this program following the satisfaction
of the above conditions. Funds from the Plan will be
allocated consistent with the Regional Conservation
Assessment/Framework to fund environmental
mitigation activities required in the implementation of
the major highway, transit and regional arterial and local
streets and roads projects identified in the Plan. If this
approach cannot be fully implemented, these funds
shall be used for environmental mitigation purposes on
a project-by-project basis. Mitigation required for future
transportation improvements identified in the Plan are
not limited by the availability of funding or mitigation
credits available in the Program.
All projects funded from the TEP are eligible for inclusion
in the AMP. Note that some projects are within the East
Contra Costa County HCP/NCCP. The AMP provides an
opportunity to meet species mitigation needs on
projects that cannot be met by East Contra Costa
County HCP/NCCP.
Pursuant to Senate Bill No. 743, which reformed the
process for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
review of transportation impacts to align with greenhouse
gas emissions reduction goals, the Governor’s Office of
Planning and Research (OPR) identified vehicle-miles
traveled (VMT) as the key metric to measure transportation
impacts under CEQA. As a result, projects will be expected
to demonstrate a reduction in VMT to meet the Authority’s
goal to reduce VMT per capita and GHG emissions
countywide. The Authority will begin development of
an innovative countywide program to identify a broad
portfolio of mitigation measures that will be funded through
aggregation of funds and deployed to support top-priority
VMT reducing projects and strategies throughout the
County. The VMT Mitigation Program will consider the
structure of the program, legal framework to comply with
CEQA and Mitigation Fee Act, and program design, such
as project selection and prioritization, measurement,
evaluation, verification, reporting, equity, and monitoring.
The amount of VMT mitigated will be for the planning
horizon for each project.

Public Oversight Committee
The Public Oversight Committee (POC) shall provide
diligent, independent, and public oversight of all
expenditures of Measure funds by Authority or recipient
agencies (County, cities/towns, transit operators, etc.).
The POC will report to the public and focus its oversight
on the following:
• Review of allocation and expenditure of Measure funds
to ensure that all funds are used consistent with the
Measure
• Review of fiscal audits of Measure expenditures
• Review of performance audits of projects and programs
relative to performance criteria established by the
Authority, and if performance of any project or program
does not meet its established performance criteria,
identify reasons why and make recommendations for
corrective actions that can be taken by the Authority
Board for changes to project or program guidelines
• Review of application of the performance-based review
policy and provide input and recommendations for the
development of associated guidelines
• Review of the maintenance of effort compliance
requirements of local jurisdictions for local streets,
roads, and bridges funding
• Review of each jurisdiction’s GMP Checklist and
compliance with the GMP Policies
The POC shall prepare an annual report that includes
an account of the POC’s activities during the previous
year, its review and recommendations relative to fiscal
or performance audits, and any recommendations made
to the Authority Board for implementing the TEP. The
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 233
2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
41
report will be noticed in local media outlets throughout
Contra Costa County, posted to the Authority website,
and made continuously available for public inspection
at Authority offices. The report shall be composed of
easy-to-understand language that is not produced in an
overly technical format. The POC shall make an annual
presentation to the Authority Board summarizing the
annual report subsequent to its release.
POC members shall be selected by the Authority to
reflect community, business organizations, and other
interests within the County. The goal of the membership
makeup of the POC is to provide a balance of viewpoints,
including, but not limited to, geography, age, gender,
ethnicity, and income status to represent the different
perspectives of the residents of Contra Costa County.
One member will be nominated by each of the four
subregions by the RTPCs representing the subregion
nominating the member. The Board of Supervisors will
nominate one member residing in and representing the
County. Twelve members will be nominated by respective
organizations representative of interest groups, such as
civic and governance involvement, taxpayer advocate,
businesses, construction and trades labor, general
labor, building and development, disabled, biking and
pedestrian, transit, low income, climate change, seniors,
environmental, and/or open space organizations
operating in Contra Costa County (specific organizations
may vary during the life of the Measure). The Authority
will consult with the public and active interest groups to
solicit, identify nominees, and nominate POC members
that represent those areas listed above. The Authority
will accept nominations from any member of the public.
The Authority will create a process to review possible
POC members, including interviews. An interest area
will be represented by no more than one POC member.
About one-half of the initial member appointments will be
for two years and the remaining appointments will be for
three-year terms. Thereafter, members will be appointed
to two-year terms. Any individual member can serve on
the POC for no more than six consecutive years.
POC members will be Contra Costa County residents who
are not elected officials at any level of government, or public
employees from agencies that either oversee or benefit from
the proceeds of the Measure. Membership is restricted to
individuals with no economic interest in any of the Authority’s
projects or programs. If a member’s status changes so that
he/she no longer meets these requirements, or if a member
resigns his/her position on the POC, the Authority Board will
issue a new statement of interest from the same stakeholder
category to fill the vacant position.
The POC shall meet up to once per month to carry out
its responsibility and shall meet at least once every three
months. Meetings shall be held at the same location as
the Authority Board meetings are usually held, shall be
open to the public, and must be held in compliance with
California’s open meeting law (the Brown Act). Meetings
shall be recorded and the recordings shall be posted for
the public.
Members are expected to attend all meetings. If a member,
without good reason acceptable to the Chair of the POC,
fails to attend either (a) two or more consecutive meetings
or (b) more than three meetings a year, the Authority
Board will request a replacement from the interest group
listed above.
The Authority commits to support the oversight process
through cooperation with the POC by providing access
to project and program information, audits, and other
information available to the Authority, and to logistical
support so that the POC may effectively perform its
oversight function. The POC will have full access to
the Authority’s independent auditors and may request
Authority staff briefings for any information that is relevant
to the Measure. The Authority will provide resources for
meeting design and process, facilitation, and skill and
knowledge building to foster and support the POC’s ability
to provide meaningful input and recommendations. The
POC Chair shall inform the Authority Board Chair and
Executive Director of any concern regarding Authority
staff’s commitment or performance regarding open
communication, the timely sharing of information, and
teamwork.
The POC shall not have the authority to set policy or to
appropriate or withhold funds, nor shall it participate in or
interfere with the selection process of any consultant or
contractor hired to implement the TEP.
The POC shall not receive monetary compensation
except for the reimbursement of travel or other incidental
expenses in a manner consistent with other Authority
advisory committees. Exceptions may be made by the
Authority to reasonably assist members to participate in
POC meetings.
To ensure that the oversight by the POC continues to be
as effective as possible, the efficacy of the POC Charter
(i.e., this document) will be evaluated on a periodic basis
and a formal review will be conducted by the Authority
Board, Executive Director, and the POC a minimum of
every five years to determine if any amendments to
this Charter should be made. The formal review will
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 234
Contra Costa Transportation Authority
42
include a benchmarking of the Committee’s activities
and Charter with other best-in-class oversight committees.
Amendments to this Charter shall be proposed by the
POC and adopted or rejected by the Authority Board.
The POC replaces the Authority’s existing Citizens
Advisory Committee (CAC).
Advisory Committees
The Authority will continue the committees that were
established as part of the Transportation Partnership
Commission organization as well as other committees that
have been utilized by the Authority to advise and assist in
policy development and implementation. The committees
include:
The RTPCs that were established to develop
transportation plans on a geographic basis for subareas
of the County, and
• The Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) that will
serve as the Authority’s technical advisory committee
• Paratransit Coordinating Council (PCC)
• The Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (CBPAC)
• Bus Transit Coordinating Committee (BTCC)
IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES
This TEP is guided by principles that ensure the
revenue generated by the sales tax is spent only for
the purposes outlined in this TEP in the most efficient
and effective manner possible, consistent with serving
the transportation needs of Contra Costa County. The
following Implementing Guidelines shall govern the
administration of sales tax revenues by the Authority.
Additional detail for certain Implementing Guidelines is
found elsewhere in this TEP.
Duration of the TEP
The duration of the TEP shall be for 35 years from July 1,
2020, through June 30, 2055.
Administration of the Plan
1. Funds Only Projects and Programs in the TEP
Funds collected under this Measure may only
be spent for purposes identified in the TEP, as
it may be amended by the Authority governing
body. Identification of Projects or Programs in the
Plan does not ensure their implementation. As
authorized, the Authority may amend or delete
Projects and Programs identified in the Plan to
provide for the use of additional federal, state, and
local funds, to account for unexpected revenue,
to maintain consistency with the current Contra
Costa Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP), to take
into consideration unforeseen circumstances, and
to account for impacts, alternatives, and potential
mitigation determined during review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) at such
time as each project and program is proposed for
approval.
2. All Decisions Made in Public Process
The Authority is given the fiduciary duty of
administering the transportation sales tax proceeds
in accordance with all applicable laws and with the
TEP. Activities of the Authority will be conducted in
public according to state law, through publicly noticed
meetings. The annual budgets of Authority, strategic
delivery plans, and annual reports will all be prepared
for public review. The interest of the public will be
further protected by the POC, described previously in
the TEP.
3. Salary and Administration Cost Caps
Revenues may be expended by the Authority for
salaries, wages, benefits, overhead, and those
services, including contractual services, necessary to
administer the Measure. However, in no case shall the
expenditures for the salaries and benefits of the staff
necessary to perform administrative functions for the
Authority exceed one percent (1%) of revenues from
the Measure. The allocated costs of Authority staff who
directly implement specific projects or programs are not
included in the administrative costs.
4. Expenditure Plan Amendments Require Majority
Support
The Authority may review and propose amendments
to the TEP and the GMP to provide for the use
of additional federal, state, and local funds, to
account for unexpected revenues, or to take
into consideration unforeseen circumstances.
Affected RTPCs and Public Oversight Committee
(POC) will participate in the development of the
proposed amendment(s). A supermajority (66%)
vote of the Authority Board is required to approve
an amendment. Any amendment to the TEP that
is administrative or less than $50 million to the
Expenditure Plan will require a 45-day period
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 235
2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
43
to comment on the proposed amendment. Any
amendments to expenditure categories that total
$50 million or greater, whether submitted as one
amendment or a series of related amendments, will
require the following:
a. The need for such amendment shall be properly
demonstrated in a regularly scheduled public
meeting of the Authority Board.
b. The Authority shall make a presentation at the
earliest possible POC and RTPC meetings outlining
the details of the proposed amendment and allow
for POC and RTPC input.
c. No fewer than two special public information and
comment sessions shall be held and publicized by
the Authority within 90 days following the initial
Authority Board meeting.
d. The proposed amendment will be given a 90-day
public comment period.
e. The proposed amendment shall be voted on during
a regularly scheduled Authority Board meeting.
5. Augment Transportation Funds
Funds generated pursuant to the Measure are to be
used to supplement and not replace existing local
revenues used for transportation purposes. Any funds
already allocated, committed, or otherwise included
in the financial plan for any project in the TEP shall
be made available for project development and
implementation as required in the project’s financial and
implementation program.
6. Jurisdiction
The Authority retains sole discretion regarding
interpretation, construction, and meaning of words
and phrases in the TEP.
Taxpayer Safeguards, Audits and Accountability
7. Public Oversight Committee (POC)
The POC will provide diligent, independent, and
public oversight of all expenditures of Measure
funds by Authority or recipient agencies (County,
cities/towns, transit operators, etc.). The POC
will report to the public and focus its oversight
on annual audits, the review and allocation of
Measure funds, the performance of projects and
programs in the TEP, and compliance by local
jurisdictions with the maintenance of effort and
GMP described previously in the TEP.
8. Fiscal Audits
All funds expended by the Authority directly and all
funds allocated by formula or discretionary grants to
other entities are subject to fiscal audit. Recipients of
Measure funds (including but not limited to County,
cities/towns, and transit operators) will be audited at
least once every five years, conducted by an
independent CPA. Any agency found to be in
noncompliance shall have its formula sales tax funds
withheld until such time as the agency is found to
be in compliance.
9. Performance Audits
All funding categories shall be subject to performance
audits by the Authority. Each year, the Authority shall
select and perform a focused performance audit on two
or three of the funding categories so that at the end of
the fourth year, all funding categories are audited. This
process shall commence two years after passage of the
new sales tax measure. Additional Performance Audits
shall continue on a similar cycle for the duration of the
TEP. The performance audits shall provide an accurate
quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the funding
categories to determine the effectiveness in meeting
the performance criteria established by the Authority.
In the event that any performance audit determines
that a funding category is not meeting the performance
requirements established by the Authority, the audit
shall include recommendations for corrective action
including but not limited to revisions to Authority
policies or program guidelines that govern the
expenditure of funds.
10. Maintenance of Effort (MOE)
Funds generated by the new sales tax Measure are to
be used to supplement and not replace existing local
revenues used for streets and highways purposes. The
basis of the MOE requirement will be the average of
expenditures of annual discretionary funds on streets
and highways, as reported to the Controller pursuant
to Streets and Highways Code Section 2151 for the
three most recent fiscal years before the passage of
the Measure, where data is available. The average
dollar amount will then be increased once every three
years by the construction cost index of that third year.
Penalty for noncompliance of meeting the minimum
MOE is immediate loss of proportional amount of
2020 TEP funding from Modernize Local Roads and
Improve Access to Job Centers and Housing and
Measure J TEP funding from Local Streets Maintenance
and Improvements funds until MOE compliance is
achieved. The audit of the MOE contribution shall be at
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 236
Contra Costa Transportation Authority
44
least once every five years. Any agency found to be in
noncompliance shall be subject to an annual audit for
three years after they come back into compliance.
Any local jurisdiction wishing to adjust its MOE
requirement shall submit a request for adjustment to
the Authority and the necessary documentation to
justify the adjustment. The Authority staff shall review
the request and shall make a recommendation to
the Authority Board. Taking into consideration the
recommendation, the Authority Board may adjust the
annual average of expenditures reported pursuant
to Streets and Highways Code Section 2151. The
Authority shall make an adjustment if one or more of
the following conditions exists:
a. The local jurisdiction has undertaken one or more
major capital projects during those fiscal years that
required accumulating unrestricted revenues (i.e.,
revenues that are not restricted for use on streets
and highways, such as general funds) to support
the project during one or more fiscal years.
b. A source of unrestricted revenue used to support
the major capital project or projects is no longer
available to the local jurisdiction and the local
jurisdiction lacks authority to continue the
unrestricted funding source.
c. One or more sources of unrestricted revenues that
were available to the local jurisdiction is producing
less than 95 percent of the amount produced in
those fiscal years and the reduction is not caused
by any discretionary action of the local jurisdiction.
d. The local jurisdiction Pavement Condition
Index (PCI) is 70 or greater, as calculated by the
jurisdiction Pavement Management System and
reported to the MTC, and the jurisdiction has
implemented its synchronized signals plan, and
its Complete Streets, Vision Zero, and Transit First
policies.
11. Annual Budget and Strategic Delivery Plan
Each year, the Authority will adopt an annual budget
that estimates expected sales tax receipts, other
anticipated revenue, and planned expenditures for the
year. On a periodic basis, the Authority will also prepare
a Strategic Delivery Plan that will identify the priority
for projects; the date for project implementation based
on project readiness and availability of project funding;
the state, federal, and other local funding committed
for project implementation; and other relevant criteria.
The annual budget and Strategic Delivery Plan will be
adopted by the Authority Board at a public meeting.
12. Requirements for Fund Recipients
All recipients of funds allocated in this TEP will be
required to sign a Master Cooperative Agreement
that defines reporting and accountability elements as
well as other applicable policy requirements. All funds
will be appropriated through an open and transparent
public process.
13. Geographic and Social Equity
The proposed projects and programs to be funded
through the TEP constitute a proportional distribution
of funding allocations to each subregion in Contra
Costa County. The subregional share of projected
revenue is based on each subregion’s share of the
projected overall population in Contra Costa County
at the midpoint of the measure. RTPCs must approve
any revisions to the proportional distribution of funding
allocations in the TEP and Strategic Delivery Plan.
The Authority commits that the TEP will deliver
proportionally greater benefits to Communities
of Concern (as defined by the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission) and low-income residents.
Restrictions on Funds
14. Expenditure Shall Benefit Contra Costa County
Under no circumstance may the proceeds of this
transportation sales tax be applied for any purpose
other than for transportation improvements benefiting
residents of Contra Costa County. Under no
circumstance may these funds be appropriated by
the State of California or any other local government
agency as defined in the implementing guidelines.
15. Environmental Review
All projects funded by sales tax proceeds are subject
to laws and regulations of federal, state, and local
government, including the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Prior to
approval or commencement of any project or program
included in the TEP, all necessary environmental review
required by CEQA shall be completed.
16. Performance-based Project Review
Before the allocation of any Measure funds for the
construction of a project with an estimated cost
in excess of $10 million (or elements of a corridor
project with an overall estimated cost in excess of
$10 million), the Authority will 1) verify that the project
is consistent with the approved CTP, as it may be
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 237
2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
45
amended, 2) verify that the project is included
in the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), and 3) require the
project sponsor to complete a performance-based
review of project alternatives prior to the selection
of a preferred alternative. Said performance-based
review will include, but not necessarily be limited to,
an analysis of the project impacts on greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, vehicle-miles traveled (VMT), goods
movement effectiveness, travel mode share, delay
(by mode), safety, maintenance of the transportation
system, impact on displacement, affordable housing,
social equity, any other environmental effects, and
consistency with adopted Authority plans. The Authority
may require the evaluation of other performance
criteria depending on the specific need and purpose
of the project. The Authority will perform review and
independent verification of performance-based review
submitted by project sponsors.
The Authority is committed to meet the Governor’s
Executive Order B-16-2012 to reduce transportation-
related GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by
2050 and will establish overall VMT per capita and
GHG goals countywide. The Authority will expect
project sponsors to identify and select a project
alternative that reduces GHG emissions as well as
VMT per capita to meet the Authority’s adopted
countywide VMT and GHG goals. Limited exceptions
will be identified and a process created to select a
project alternative that does not decrease VMT and
GHG sufficiently but has other substantial benefits.
The Authority will require the project sponsors that
select a project alternative that does not decrease
VMT and GHG sufficiently to make findings for
an exception and require participation in a VMT
mitigation program to be developed by the Authority.
Funding for projects that do not decrease VMT and
GHG sufficiently will not be allocated until the Authority
develops a VMT mitigation program. The VMT
mitigation program will define the limited exceptions,
substantial benefits, and process to determine
adequate findings for those exceptions. The purpose
of the VMT Mitigation Program will be to fund projects
and programs that reduce VMT, GHG emissions,
and traffic congestion in Contra Costa County. The
Authority will also prioritize and reward high performing
projects by leveraging additional regional and other
funding sources. The Authority shall employ a public
process to develop and adopt detailed guidelines
for evaluating project performance and applying
performance criteria in the review and selection of a
preferred project alternative no later than October 1,
2022. The performance criteria will include measurable
performance targets and be developed per Section 43.
There will be additional performance-based reviews
for actions in five categories of expenditure: Improve
Walking and Biking on Streets and Trails, Countywide
Major Road Improvement Program, Reduce Emissions
and Improve Air Quality, Seamless Connected
Transportation Options, and Reduce and Reverse
Commutes. The additional review guidelines are
outlined in Sections 31-35 of these Implementing
Guidelines.
17. Countywide Transportation Plan
State law allows each county in the San Francisco Bay
Area that is subject to the jurisdiction of the regional
transportation planning agency to prepare a CTP
for the county and cities/towns within the county.
Both Measure C and Measure J also require the
Authority to prepare and periodically update a CTP
for Contra Costa County. State law also created an
interdependent relationship between the CTP and
regional planning agency. Each CTP must consider the
region’s most recently adopted Regional Transportation
Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS)
while the adopted CTPs must form the “primary basis”
for the next RTP and SCS. The Authority shall follow
applicable statutes and the most current guidelines
for preparing the CTP, as established and periodically
updated by the regional transportation planning
agency. The Authority shall also use the CTP to convey
the Authority’s investment priorities, consistent with the
long-range vision of the RTP and SCS.
18. Complete Streets
The Authority has adopted a policy requiring all
recipients of funding through this TEP to consider
and accommodate, wherever possible, the needs
of all users in the planning, design, construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the
transportation system.
19. Road Traffic Safety
The Authority has adopted a policy requiring
all recipients of funding through this TEP shall,
wherever possible, systemically incorporate street
design elements that quantifiably reduce the risk
of traffic-related deaths and severe injuries in the
public right-of-way and accommodate the needs
of all users in the planning, design, construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of
the transportation system.

20. Compliance with the GMP
If the Authority determines that a jurisdiction does not
comply with the requirements of the GMP, the Authority
shall withhold funds and also make a finding that the
jurisdiction shall not be eligible to receive 2020 TEP
funding from Modernize Local Roads and Improve Access
to Job Centers and Housing, Measure J TEP funding
from Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements, and
Measure J TLC funding until the Authority determines the
jurisdiction has achieved compliance, as detailed in the
GMP section of the TEP.
21. Local Contracting and Good Jobs
The purpose of the current section of the “Implementing
Guidelines” portion of the Authority’s Transportation
Expenditure Plan (TEP) is to promote efficient and quality
construction operations on the included projects, ensure
an adequate supply of skilled craftspeople, provide a
safe work place, ensure high quality construction, ensure
uninterrupted construction projects, secure optimum
productivity on schedule performance and Authority and
citizen satisfaction, and increase access to quality jobs for
Contra Costa residents.
The provisions and requirements found herein shall apply
to each contractor and any subcontractors on projects
approved by the TEP and administered by Authority.
Authority supports training and apprenticeship
opportunities in the construction industry. As such,
Authority requires apprentice labor enrolled in or
graduated from joint labor-management apprenticeship
programs on construction projects estimated to
cost $1 million or greater. Authority will develop
guidelines modeled after the California Department
of Transportation’s (Caltrans’) Standard Specifications
applicable to training an apprentice for the benefit of
residents of Contra Costa County. Contractors will be
required to comply with the guidelines on construction
projects estimated to cost $1 million or greater.
All those employed on projects approved by the TEP and
administered by Authority shall be classified and paid in
accordance with the prevailing rate of per diem wages as
determined by the Director of the California Department
of Industrial Relations and comply with all applicable Labor
Code provisions.
It is also the intent of Authority to create a policy that
encourages contractors to hire residents of Contra Costa
County and the other eight Bay Area counties.2 Therefore,
all Authority contracts in excess of $1 million shall be
subject to provisions pursuant to which the contractor
is required to make a good faith effort to hire qualified
individuals who are residents of Contra Costa County
or any of the other eight Bay Area counties in sufficient
numbers so that no less than 40% of the contractor’s total
construction workforce, measured in labor work hours, is
composed of residents of Contra Costa County or any of
the other eight Bay Area counties. The contractor shall
require all subcontractors to also make a good faith effort
to hire qualified individuals who are residents of Contra
Costa County and the other eight Bay Area counties.
The above provision will be implemented to the
extent allowed by law and in compliance with funding
agreements so as to not jeopardize any funding for the
completion of the project.

Marin
22. New Agencies
New cities/towns or new entities (such as new transit
agencies) that come into existence in Contra Costa
County during the life of the TEP may be considered as
eligible recipients of funds through a TEP amendment.
23. Integrated Transit Plan (ITP)
The Authority has adopted a Transit Policy that envisions
a public transit system that provides convenient,
safe, affordable, and reliable service that offers an
attractive alternative to private automobile usage. All
recipients of funding through this TEP shall consider and
accommodate, wherever possible, the principles of Transit
First in the planning, design, construction, reconstruction,
rehabilitation, and maintenance of the transportation
system. To achieve this vision, the Authority and transit
operators will develop an ITP to identify how Contra
Costa County transit operators can utilize TEP funding to
better coordinate and integrate their services. This ITP will
focus on delivering a streamlined and unified experience
for the customer across all modes and transit operators.
Allocations pursuant to this TEP will be made in support of
the findings and recommendations included in the ITP.
All transit operators who receive funding from the TEP
shall participate in the development of an ITP. Transit
operators shall consult with the RTPCs in developing
the ITP in cities, towns, and the County, as applicable,
regarding TEP funding for signal synchronization,
complete streets, and other investments that could benefit
transit. Transit operators shall incorporate the findings
and recommendations of the ITP into their respective
Short-Range Transit Plans.
The Authority expects that transit operating funds from
the Transportation Expenditure Plan be used to support
transit service and the ITP. In the event that TEP funds
must be used to subsidize existing services as a result of
reduction of operating funds from other sources, or due
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 239
2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
47
to other financial concerns, the transit operator shall
update its Short-Range Transit Plan and submit it to the
Authority.
24. Accessible Transportation for Seniors, Veterans,
and People with Disabilities
An Accessible Transportation Strategic (ATS) Plan will
be developed and periodically updated during the
term of the Measure. No funding under the Accessible
Transportation for Seniors, Veterans, and People with
Disabilities category will be allocated until the ATS Plan
has been developed and adopted. No funds may be
distributed to a service provider until it adopts the plan,
except as noted below. The development and delivery
of the ATS Plan will establish a user-focused system
with a seamless coordinated system using mobility
management to ensure coordination and efficiencies in
accessible service delivery. The ATS Plan will address
and direct funding to both traditional and beyond
traditional paratransit services. The ATS Plan will deliver
a streamlined, affordable, and unified experience for
the customer and address how accessible services are
delivered by all service providers where appropriate
coordination can improve transportation services,
eliminate gaps in service, and find efficiencies in the
service delivered. The ATS Plan will identify where
coordination can improve transportation services,
eliminate gaps in service, and find efficiencies in the
service delivered. The ATS Plan will also determine
the investments and oversight of the program
funding and identify timing, projects, service delivery
options, administrative structure, and fund leverage
opportunities.
The ATS Plan will be developed by the Authority in
consultation with direct users of service; stakeholders
representing seniors and people with disabilities
who face mobility barriers and nonprofit and publicly
operated paratransit service providers. Public transit
operators in Contra Costa must participate in the ATS
planning process to be eligible to receive funding in
this category. The ATS Plan must be adopted no later
than December 31, 2020. The development of the ATS
Plan will not affect the allocation of funds to current
operators as prescribed in the existing Measure J
Expenditure Plan.
25. Safe Transportation for Youth and Children
Prior to an allocation of funds from the Safe
Transportation for Youth and Children category, the
Authority will employ a public process to develop
and adopt program guidelines and performance
assessment procedures to maximize effectiveness.
The guidelines and performance assessment may
require provisions such as operational efficiencies,
performance criteria, parent contributions, and reporting
requirements. The guidelines will be developed in
coordination with the RTPCs to develop a program that
meets the needs within each subregion. Funding will
be allocated to subregions and program funding will
be subject to the publicized performance assessment
conducted by the Authority (see item 16 in this policy
section). The development of the program guidelines
and performance assessment procedures will not affect
the allocation of funds to current programs as described
in the existing Measure J expenditure plan.
26. Enhance Ferry Service and Rail Connectivity in
Contra Costa County
All projects funded in the Enhance Ferry Service
and Commuter Rail in Contra Costa category will be
evaluated by the Authority and demonstrate progress
toward the Authority’s goals of reducing VMT and GHG
emissions. Selection of final projects to be based on a
performance analysis of project alternatives consistent
with Authority requirements. Proposed projects must be
included in and conform with the ITP. Project sponsors
requesting funding from this category will be required
to prepare a feasibility and operations plan and submit
it to the Authority to demonstrate that there is sufficient
funding available to operate the proposed project and/
or service.
27. BART Maintenance of Effort (MOE)
Prior to any appropriation, allocation, or reimbursement
of funds to BART, the Authority Board shall make a
finding that BART has continued to use a proportional
share of its operating allocations for capital projects.
BART’s preliminary FY 2019 Budget forecasts
approximately $150 million of its operating allocations
to capital projects. BART shall demonstrate that it
continues to use an equivalent proportional share
of it operating revenues for capital projects allowing
for normal annual fluctuations in capital projects or
maintenance expenditures. In years where BART fare
revenues or other general fund revenues are reduced
by a decrease in ridership or unforeseen economic
circumstances, loss of regional, state, or federal funding,
or where one-time costs are increased by a natural
disaster, then the Authority may release funds only if
the Authority Board makes findings that 1) BART has not
reduced its capital project funding disproportionately
to the total operating revenue and 2) BART made best
efforts to fund capital projects that benefit Contra Costa
County.

28. Cleaner, Safer BART
Prior to making an allocation of funds to BART for the
Cleaner, Safer BART category, BART shall develop
and submit a countywide plan to the Authority that
proposes how these funds and other funds available to
BART (including Measure RR, Regional Measure 3, and
other funds) will be used as part of a systemwide effort
to improve its stations to meet the goals described in
the TEP. The funding from the Cleaner, Safer BART
category will be used for improvements to stations
in Contra Costa County and requires a minimum
dollar-for-dollar match from other BART funds. The
Planshould document how a systemwide program to
improve BART stations benefits Contra Costa residents
who travel outside the county. BART should consult
with the Authority (in consultation with RTPCs) in the
development of the countywide plan.
In the event BART completes the train control system
and if BART has maintained the commitment to
provide a minimum dollar-for-dollar match from other
BART funds as describe above, the Authority (in
consultation with RTPCs) and BART will jointly identify,
and the Authority may allocate funds for the acquisition
of additional new BART cars to increase frequency
during periods of high demand. The allocation will be
considered in conjunction with a periodic review of the
TEP (see item 39 in this policy section) and available
funding capacity in the TEP.
29. Improve Local Access to Highway 4 and Byron
Airport
Prior to each allocation of funds from the Improve Local
Access to Highway 4 and Byron Airport category, the
Authority Board must make a finding that the project
includes measures to prevent growth outside of the
Urban Limit Lines (ULL). Such measures might include,
but are not necessarily limited to, limits on roadway
access in areas outside the ULL, purchase of abutters’
rights of access, preservation of critical habitat and/
or the permanent protection/acquisition of agricultural
and open space, or performing conservation measures
required to cover this project under the East Contra
Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural
Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP). With the
exception of the proposed new connection between
Vasco Road and the Byron Highway, funding from this
category shall not be used to construct new roadways
on new alignments. The Authority will coordinate with
Alameda and/or San Joaquin Counties relative to
project improvements in those jurisdictions.
30. Modernize Local Roads and Improve Access to Jobs
Centers and Housing
Each jurisdiction in Contra Costa County will receive
their share of 15.2% of annual sales tax revenues,
calculated using a base allocation of $100,000 per
year plus additional funds distributed based half on
relative population and half on road miles within each
jurisdiction. In addition, jurisdictions in Central, East, and
Southwest Contra Costa will receive their share of an
additional allocation of 2.2% of annual sales tax revenue
calculated using the same formula. This is equivalent to
18% of the sales tax revenues for the Central, East, and
Southwest parts of the county for improvements under
this category. Population figures used shall be the most
current available from the State Department of Finance.
Road mileage shall be from the most current information
included in the Highway Performance Monitoring
System (HPMS). Jurisdictions shall comply with the
Authority’s Maintenance of Effort (MOE) policy as well
as Implementation Guidelines of this TEP. In addition to
the requirements set forth in the Growth Management
Program Urban Limit Line Compliance policies and
other applicable policies, local jurisdictions will report
on the use of these funds, such as the amount spent on
roadway maintenance, bicycle and pedestrian facilities,
transit facilities, and other roadway improvements,
and benefits to social equity and Communities of
Concern (as defined by the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission) in their jurisdictions. A minimum of 15%
of all local street funding be spent on project elements
directly benefiting bicyclists and pedestrians.
31. Countywide Major Roads Improvement Program
Prior to an allocation of funds from the Improve Traffic
Flow on Major Roads category, the Authority will
develop a new countywide Major Roads Improvement
Program to address congestion relief on major roads
within each subregion. The program guidelines will
include information regarding how to evaluate the range
of possible components. Implementation guidelines
and standards will be developed in coordination with
the RTPCs and will be approved by the Authority
Board. Project funding is subject to a performance
assessment conducted by the Authority using approved
and publicized guidelines. Funding will be allocated to
subregions. If projects proposed by an RTPC do not
meet performance standards, the project will either be
modified or withdrawn in favor of another project from
the same region. Funds in this category may be used
for arterial refurbishment/redesign for Transit First and
Complete Streets. Projects funded from the Improve
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 241
2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
49
Traffic Flow on Major Roads category must conform to
the Transit, Complete Streets, Road Traffic Safety, and
other related policies.
32. Improve Walking and Biking on Streets and Trails
Prior to an allocation of funds from the Improve
Walking and Biking on Streets and Trails category, the
Authority will develop and adopt program guidelines
and standards for a competitive project-selection
process. All projects will be selected through a
competitive project-selection process with the Authority
approving the final program of projects, allowing for a
comprehensive countywide approach while recognizing
subregional equity based upon the proportional funding
share shown in the TEP. Project funding is subject to a
performance assessment conducted by the Authority
using approved and publicized guidelines. Projects
funded from this category must comply with the Transit,
Road Traffic Safety, and Complete Streets Policies and
include complete street elements whenever possible.
Up to $15 million within each subregion for a total of $60
million will be allocated to Complete Street demonstration
projects. Each demonstration project will be
recommended by the relevant Regional Transportation
Planning Committees and approved by the Authority
prior to allocation of funds to demonstrate the successful
implementation of Complete Streets projects no later
than July 1, 2024. Each demonstration project will be
required to strongly pursue the use of separated bike
lane facilities to be considered for funding. The purpose
of these demonstration projects is to create examples of
successful complete street projects in multiple situations
throughout the County.
Approximately one fifth of the funding is to be
allocated to the East Bay Regional Park District
(EBRPD) for the development, rehabilitation, and
maintenance of paved regional trails. EBRPD is to
spend its allocation proportionally in each subregion,
subject to the review and approval of the conceptual
planning/design phase by the applicable subregional
committee, prior to funding allocation by the Authority.
The Authority, in conjunction with EBRPD, will develop
a maintenance-of-effort requirement for funds under
this component of the funding category.
33. Reduce Emissions and Improve Air Quality
Prior to an allocation of funds from the Reduce
Emissions and Improve Air Quality category, the
Authority will develop and adopt program guidelines
and standards for a competitive project-selection
process. All projects will be selected through a
competitive project-selection process with the
Authority approving the final program of projects,
allowing for a comprehensive countywide approach
while recognizing subregional equity based upon the
proportional funding share shown in the TEP. Project
funding is subject to a performance assessment
conducted by the Authority using approved and
publicized guidelines. Projects funded from this
category must comply with the Transit, Complete
Streets, Road Traffic Safety, and other related policies.
34. Seamless Connected Transportation Options
Prior to an allocation of funds from the Seamless
Connected Transportation Options category, the
Authority will develop and adopt program guidelines
and standards for a competitive project-selection
process. All projects will be selected through a
competitive project-selection process, with the
Authority approving the final program of projects,
and allowing for a comprehensive countywide
approach while recognizing subregional equity
based upon the proportional funding share shown in
the TEP. Project funding is subject to a performance
assessment conducted by the Authority using
approved and publicized guidelines. Projects funded
from this category must comply with the Transit,
Complete Streets, Road Traffic Safety and other
related policies.
35. Reduce and Reverse Commutes
Prior to an allocation of funds from the Reduce
and Reverse Commutes category, the Authority
will develop and adopt program guidelines and
standards for a competitive project-selection
process. All projects will be selected through a
competitive project-selection process with the
Authority approving the final program of projects,
allowing for a comprehensive countywide approach
while recognizing subregional equity based upon
the proportional funding share shown in the
TEP. Project funding is subject to a performance
assessment conducted by Authority using approved
and publicized guidelines. Projects funded from this

Project Financing Guidelines and Managing Revenue
36. Fiduciary Duty
Funds may be accumulated for larger or longer-term
projects. Interest income generated will be used for
the purposes outlined in the TEP and will be subject to
audits.
37. Project and Program Financing
The Authority has the jurisdiction to bond for the
purposes of expediting the delivery of transportation
projects and programs. The Authority will develop a
policy to identify financing procedures for the entire
plan of projects and programs.
38. Strategic Delivery Plan
On a periodic basis, the Authority will develop a
Strategic Delivery Plan to distribute revenue from the
Measure to TEP projects and programs. The Strategic
Delivery Plan will allocate Measure funds as a firm
commitment and will consider the amount of Measure
funds and additional leveraged funds available to
the project or program, expected cost and cash-flow
needs, and project or program delivery schedule in
allocating Measure funds. Recipients of Measure funds
may seek an allocation for projects and programs
included in the Strategic Delivery Plan.
39. Periodic Review of the 2020 Transportation
Expenditure Plan (TEP)
The Authority may review the TEP to consider updating
the financial forecast due to changing economic
conditions and adjust funding, if necessary, due to
revenue shortfalls. The project and program categories
may need to be adjusted based on progress made
in meeting the commitments and goals of the TEP.
The review may determine that increased revenues
be invested in projects and programs deemed by
the Authority to address transportation needs that
will best serve the residents of Contra Costa County.
The review will provide the opportunity to adjust the
TEP to adapt to the current state of transportation,
leverage new funding opportunities, reflect changed
conditions, adhere to state and federal requirements,
track performance towards commitments and goals
of the TEP, and to capture new opportunities that are
becoming better defined. The Authority will review the
TEP at a minimum of every ten years.
The Authority may review the performance of the TEP
and progress towards meeting state transportation
mandates for reduction in vehicle-miles traveled (VMT)
per capita and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Depending on progress, the Authority may adjust and
approve new goals in the TEP with explicit findings,
justification, and approach to meeting goals for State
transportation mandates to reduce VMT per capita and
GHG emissions.
Any amendments to the TEP must comply with the
policy for Expenditure Plan Amendments Require
Majority Support and the following related policies.
40. Programming of Excess Funds
Actual revenues may, at times be higher or lower
than expected in this TEP due to changes in receipts.
Additional funds may become available due to the
increased opportunities for leveraging or project costs
being less than expected. Revenue may be higher
or lower than expected as the economy fluctuates.
Determination of when the additional funds become
excess will be established by a policy defined by the
Authority. Funds considered excess will be prioritized
first to the TEP projects and programs that are not fully
funded and second to other projects deemed by the
Authority to best serve the residents of Contra Costa
County. Any new project or program will be required to
be amended into the TEP pursuant to the Expenditure
Plan Amendments Require Majority Support section
above.
41. Reprogramming Funds
Through the course of the Measure, if any TEP project
becomes undeliverable, infeasible, or unfundable due
to circumstances unforeseen at the time the TEP was
created, funding for that project will be reallocated to
another project or program. The subregion where the
project or program was located may request that the
Authority reassign funds to another project category in
the same subregion. In the allocation of the released
funds, the Authority, in consultation with the subregion’s
RTPC, will consider:
a. A project or program of the same travel mode (i.e.,
transit, bicycle/pedestrian, or road) in the same
subregion
b. A project or program for other modes of travel in the
same subregion
c. Other TEP projects or programs
d. Other projects deemed by the Authority to best
serve the residents of Contra Costa County
The new project, program, or funding level may require
amending the TEP pursuant to the Expenditure Plan
Amendments section above.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 243
2020 TRANSPORTATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
51
Funds may require reallocation to meet state
transportation policy for vehicle-miles traveled per
capita and greenhouse gas emissions.
42. Leveraging Funds
Project proponents, including the Authority, are
expected to apply for all available funds from other
sources to maximize the leveraging of TEP funds. To
the extent matching funds from the TEP are needed to
complete a project or a phase of project, the Authority
will approve funding from the applicable funding
category in the TEP where the project is eligible for
funding. If the project is determined not to be eligible
for funding under any of the categories in the TEP, the
Authority, in consultation with the respective RTPC,
may approve matching funds from the Reduce and
Reverse Commutes category. The Authority may utilize
funding from the Transportation Planning, Facilities,
and Services category, as needed, to attract other fund
sources.
43. Development of Guidelines for Performance-Based
Projects Review and Programs
The TEP requires development of procedures and

Model Vision Zero Policy shall be incorporated into the
Authority’s project development guidelines as appropriate.
To be eligible to receive Measure funds, local jurisdictions
must adopt a Vision Zero Policy that substantially
complies with the Authority’s Model Vision Zero Policy.
Jurisdictions that adopt a Vision Zero Policy prior to the
Authority’s adoption of the model Vision Zero Policy may
be considered compliant with the Growth Management
Program compliance requirements if the adopted policy
substantially complies with the Authority’s Model policy.
To ensure consistency with the Road Traffic Safety Policy
vision, the Authority shall coordinate periodic traffic
system and project monitoring with local jurisdictions
and the RTPCs and utilize data collected over time to
evaluate the effects of Vision Zero implementation on
public health and safety. Emphasis shall be placed on
proactive deployment of next-generation technology, such
as advanced detection systems at major intersections and
corridors identified in regional and local plans as having
high collision density. Funding for this level of effort shall
be made available to local jurisdictions and RTPCs through
the Countywide Major Road Improvement Program and
funding from the Improve Traffic Flow on Major Roads.
Road Traffic Safety Policy
VISION
In this Plan, the Road Traffic Safety policy is intended
to eliminate traffic-related deaths and severe injuries
within Contra Costa County by prioritizing a systemwide
safety approach to transportation planning and
design. Principally, the Road Traffic Safety policy treats
personal mobility and accessibility as a fundamental
activity of the general public to attend school, conduct
business, and visit friends and family, free from
the risk of physical harm due to traffic. This policy
applies to all transportation system users, including
pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, micromobility users,
automobile drivers, taxis, ride-hailing services and their
passengers, truckers, and people of varying abilities,
including children, seniors, and people with disabilities.
Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety policy is
intended to reduce societal costs due to loss of life and
injury, lessen congestion stemming from nonrecurring
traffic collisions and incidents, and generally enhance
the quality of life in Contra Costa.
POLICY
Achieving this vision will require shifting the paradigm
of traditional transportation planning and engineering
by following the principle of “Vision Zero,” which is
an internationally recognized approach to proactively
preserving life safety in transportation planning and
engineering decision making. All recipients of funding
through this Plan shall systemically incorporate street
design elements that quantifiably reduce the risk of
traffic-related deaths and severe injuries in the public
right-of-way and accommodate the needs of all users
in the planning, design, construction, reconstruction,
rehabilitation, operations, and maintenance of the
transportation system.
In consultation with local jurisdictions, the RTPCs, and
the public, the Authority shall develop and adopt a Model
Vision Zero Policy that reflects best practices for street
design elements and programs to mitigate human error
and quantifiably improve the traffic safety of all users
in the planning, design, and construction of projects
funded with Measure funds. Key design elements of the

EXHIBIT 1
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
[Attached behind this page]
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 250
THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Coupled with the Expenditure Plan is Contra Costa’s unique and well-tested program for
managing growth. The overall goal of the Growth Management Program (GMP) is to preserve
and enhance the quality of life and promote a healthy, strong economy to benefit the people
and areas of Contra Costa County through a cooperative, multi-jurisdictional process for
managing growth, while maintaining local authority over land-use decisions. 1
The objectives of the GMP are to:
• Assure that new residential, business, and commercial growth pays for the facilities
required to meet the demands resulting from that growth;
• Require cooperative transportation and land-use planning among Contra Costa County,
cities/towns, and transportation agencies;
• Support land-use patterns within Contra Costa County that make more efficient use of
the transportation system, consistent with the General Plans of local jurisdictions; and
• Support infill and redevelopment in existing urban and brownfield areas.
The Measure J TEP GMP, which includes Principles of Agreement for Establishing the Urban
Limit Line (ULL), is augmented and superseded by this 2020 TEP.
COMPONENTS
To receive its share of funding from the following categories:
• 2020 TEP Modernize Local Roads & Improve Access to Housing and Job Centers;
• Measure J Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements (LSM); and
• Measure J Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC);
each jurisdiction must:
1. Adopt a Growth Management Element (GME)
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place, a GME as part of its General Plan that
outlines the jurisdiction’s goals and policies for managing growth and requirements for
achieving those goals. The GME must show how the jurisdiction will comply with sections 2–9
below. The Authority will refine its model GME and administrative procedures in consultation
with the Regional Transportation Planning Committees (RTPCs) to reflect the revised GMP.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 251
Each jurisdiction is encouraged to incorporate other standards and procedures into its GME to
support the objectives and required components of this GMP.
2. Adopt a Development Mitigation Program
Each jurisdiction must adopt, or maintain in place, a Development Mitigation Program to
ensure that new growth is paying its share of the costs associated with that growth. This
program shall consist of both a local program to mitigate impacts on local streets and other
facilities, and a regional program to fund regional and subregional transportation projects,
consistent with the Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP).
The jurisdiction’s local Development Mitigation Program shall ensure that revenue provided
from this measure shall not be used to replace private developer funding that has or would
have been committed to any project.
The regional Development Mitigation Program shall establish fees, exactions, assessments, or
other mitigation measures to fund regional or subregional transportation improvements
needed to mitigate the impacts of planned or forecasted development. Regional mitigation
programs may adjust such fees, exactions, assessments or other mitigation measures when
developments are within walking distance of frequent transit service or are part of a mixed-use
development of sufficient density and with necessary facilities to support greater levels of
walking and bicycling.
Each RTPC shall develop the regional Development Mitigation Program for its region, taking
account of planned and forecasted growth and the Multimodal Transportation Service
Objectives (MTSOs) and actions to achieve them established in the Action Plans for Routes of
Regional Significance. RTPCs may use existing regional mitigation programs, if consistent with
this section, to comply with the GMP.
3. Address Housing Options
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate reasonable progress in providing housing opportunities for
all income levels as part of a report on the implementation of the actions outlined in its
adopted Housing Element. The report will demonstrate progress by:
a. Comparing the number of housing units approved, constructed or occupied within
the jurisdiction over the preceding five years with the average number of units
needed each year to meet the housing objectives established in the jurisdiction’s
Housing Element; or
b. Illustrating how the jurisdiction has adequately planned to meet the existing and
projected housing needs through the adoption of land use plans and regulatory
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 252
systems which provide opportunities for, and do not unduly constrain, housing
development; or
c. Illustrating how a jurisdiction’s General Plan and zoning regulations facilitate the
improvement and development of sufficient housing to meet those objectives.
Jurisdictions will provide prepared reports regarding the production and preservation of
affordable units as provided for in the Annual Housing Element Progress Report and
subsequent reports. Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate meaningful progress in preserving
existing affordable units for lower-income residents by adopting and implementing locally
appropriate anti-displacement and affordable housing policies, for example, preservation of
affordable housing, density bonus ordinance and/or inclusionary zoning, to support
community stabilization.
Jurisdictions are subject to California’s Surplus Land Act, which includes the disposition of
surplus land, and each jurisdiction will affirm whether it complies with the Surplus Land Act
and whether it maintains an inventory of all public land in its jurisdiction that adheres to
applicable Surplus Land Act and Government Code 50569 requirements and makes the
inventory available to the public.
Each jurisdiction will indicate whether it adheres to applicable local, state, or federal policies
or laws regarding tenant protection and whether it has prepared the reports required by
such polices or laws and made the reports available to the public.
In addition, each jurisdiction shall consider the impacts that its land use and development
policies have on the local, regional and countywide transportation system, including the
level of transportation capacity that can reasonably be provided, and shall incorporate
policies and standards into its development approval process that support transit, bicycle
and pedestrian access in new developments. Each jurisdiction must participate in an
Ongoing Cooperative, Multi-Jurisdictional Planning Process.
4. Participate in an Ongoing Cooperative, Multi-Jurisdictional Planning Process
Each jurisdiction shall participate in an ongoing process with other jurisdictions and
agencies, the RTPCs and the Authority to create a balanced, safe and efficient
transportation system and to manage the impacts of growth. Jurisdictions shall work with
the RTPCs to:
a. Identify Routes of Regional Significance and MTSOs or other tools adopted by the
Authority Board for measuring performance and quality of service along routes of
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 253
regional significance, collectively referred to as MTSOs for those routes and actions
for achieving those objectives;
b. Apply the Authority’s Travel Demand Model (TDM) and technical procedures to the
analysis of General Plan Amendments and developments exceeding specified
thresholds for their effect on the regional transportation system, including on Action
Plan objectives;
c. Create a Development Mitigation Program as outlined in section 2 above; and
d. Help develop other plans, programs and studies to address other transportation and
growth management issues.
In consultation with the RTPCs, each jurisdiction will use the TDM to evaluate changes to local
General Plans and the impacts of major development projects for their effects on the local and
regional transportation system and the ability to achieve the MTSOs established in the Action
Plans.
Jurisdictions shall also participate in the Authority’s ongoing countywide comprehensive
transportation planning process. As part of this process, the Authority shall support countywide
and subregional planning efforts, including the Action Plans for Routes of Regional Significance,
and shall maintain a TDM. Jurisdictions shall help maintain the Authority’s TDM system by
providing information on proposed improvements to the transportation system and planned
and approved development within the jurisdiction.
5. Continuously Comply with an Urban Limit Line (ULL)
In order to be found in compliance with this element of the Authority’s GMP, all jurisdictions
must continually comply with an applicable voter-approved ULL. Said ULL may either be the
Contra Costa County voter-approved ULL (County ULL) or a locally initiated, voter-approved ULL
(LV-ULL).
Additional information and detailed compliance requirements for the ULL are fully defined in
the ULL Compliance Requirements (Attachment A), which are incorporated herein.
Any of the following actions by a local jurisdiction will constitute non-compliance with the GMP:
a. The submittal of an annexation request to the Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO) for lands outside of a jurisdiction’s applicable ULL.
b. Failure to conform to the Authority’s ULL Compliance Requirements.
6. Develop a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 254
Each jurisdiction shall prepare and maintain a CIP that outlines the capital projects needed to
implement the goals and policies of the jurisdiction’s General Plan for at least the following
five-year period. The CIP shall include approved projects and an analysis of the costs of the
proposed projects, as well as a financial plan for providing the improvements. The jurisdiction
shall forward the transportation component of its CIP to the Authority for incorporation into
the Authority’s database of transportation projects.
7. Adopt a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Ordinance or Resolution
To promote carpools, vanpools, and park-and-ride lots, each jurisdiction shall adopt a local
ordinance or resolution that conforms to the model TSM ordinance that the Authority has
drafted and adopted. Upon approval of the Authority Board, cities/towns with a small
employment base may adopt alternative mitigation measures in lieu of a TSM ordinance or
resolution.
8. Adopt Additional Growth Management Policies, as applicable
Each jurisdiction shall adopt and thereafter continuously maintain the following policies (where
applicable):
a. Hillside Development Policy;
b. Ridgeline Protection Policy;
c. Wildlife Corridor Policy; and
d. Creek Development Policy.
Where a jurisdiction does not have a developable hillside, ridgeline, wildlife corridor or creek, it
need not adopt the corresponding policy. An ordinance that implements the East Contra Costa
Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)/Natural Community Preservation Plan (NCCP) Act shall satisfy
the requirement to have an adopted Wildlife Corridor Policy and Creek Development Policy. In
addition to the above, jurisdictions with Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Prime/Statewide), as defined by the California Department of Conservation and mapped by the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program within their planning areas but outside of their
city/town shall adopt and thereafter continuously maintain an Agricultural Protection Policy.
The policy must ensure that potential impacts of converting Prime/Statewide outside the ULL to
other uses are identified and disclosed when considering such a conversion. The applicable
policies are required to be in place by no later than July 1, 2022.
9. Adopt a Complete Streets Policy and Road Traffic Safety (aka Vision Zero) Policy
Each jurisdiction shall adopt a Complete Streets Policy, consistent with the California Complete
Streets Act of 2008, Assembly Bill 1358 (AB 1358) and with the Authority’s Complete Streets
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 255
Policy, which accommodates all users of travel modes in the public Right-of-Way (ROW). Each
jurisdiction shall also adopt a Vision Zero Policy, which substantially complies with the
Authority’s Model Vision Zero Policy and reflects best practices for street design elements and
programs to mitigate human error and quantifiably improve the traffic safety of all users in the
planning, design and construction of projects funded with Measure funds. Jurisdictions shall
document their level of effort to implement these policies, including during requests for
funding, peer review of project design, and as part of the newly-added compliance requirement
in the biennial GMP checklist.
ALLOCATION OF FUNDS
Portions of the monies received from the retail transaction and use tax will be returned to the
local jurisdictions (the cities/towns and Contra Costa County) for use on local, subregional
and/or regional transportation improvements and maintenance projects. Receipt of all such
funds requires compliance with the GMP and the allocation procedures described below. The
funds are to be distributed on a formula based on population and road miles.
Each jurisdiction shall demonstrate its compliance with all of the components of the GMP in a
completed compliance checklist. The jurisdiction shall submit, and the Authority shall review
and make findings regarding the jurisdiction’s compliance with the requirements of the GMP,
consistent with the Authority’s adopted policies and procedures.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction complies with the requirements of the GMP, it
shall allocate to the jurisdiction its share of 2020 TEP funding from the Fix and Modernize Local
Roads category and its share of Measure J Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure Plan LSM
funding. Jurisdictions may use funds allocated under this provision to comply with these
administrative requirements.
If the Authority determines that the jurisdiction does not comply with the requirements of the
GMP, the Authority shall withhold those funds and also make findings that the jurisdiction shall
not be eligible to receive Measure J TLC funds until the Authority determines that the
jurisdiction has achieved compliance. The Authority’s findings of noncompliance may set
deadlines and conditions for achieving compliance.
Withholding of funds, reinstatement of compliance, reallocation of funds, and treatment of
unallocated funds shall be as established in adopted Authority policies and procedures.

5. Minor Adjustment – An adjustment to the ULL of 30 acres or less is intended to address
unanticipated circumstances.
6. Other Adjustments – Other adjustments that address issues of unconstitutional takings
and conformance to State and Federal law.
REVISIONS TO THE ULL
1. A local jurisdiction, which has adopted the County ULL as its applicable ULL may revise its
ULL with local voter approval at any time during the term of the Authority’s GMP by
adopting a LV-ULL in accordance with the requirements outlined for a LV-ULL contained in
the definitions section.
2. A local jurisdiction may revise its LV-ULL with local voter approval at any time during the
term of the Authority’s GMP if the resultant ULL meets the requirements outlined for a LV-
ULL contained in the definitions section.
3. If voters, through a countywide ballot measure, approve a revision to the County ULL, the
legislative body of each local jurisdiction relying on the County ULL shall:
a. Accept and approve its existing ULL to continue as its applicable ULL, or
b. Accept and approve the revised County ULL as its applicable ULL, or
c. Adopt a LV-ULL in accordance with the requirements outlined for a LV-ULL contained
in the definitions section.
d. However, if any countywide measure to approve a revision to the County ULL fails,
then the legislative body of each local jurisdiction relying on the prior County ULL
may accept and approve the existing County ULL.
4. Local jurisdictions may, without voter approval, enact minor adjustments to their applicable
ULL subject to a vote of at least 4/5 of the jurisdiction’s legislative body and meeting the
following requirements:
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 258
a. Minor adjustment shall not exceed 30 acres;
b. Adoption of at least one of the findings listed in the County’s Measure L (§82-1.018
of County Ordinances 200606 § 3, 91-1 § 2, 90-66 § 4) which includes:
• A natural or man-made disaster or public emergency has occurred, which
warrants the provision of housing and/or other community needs within
land located outside the ULL;
• An objective study has determined that the ULL is preventing the
jurisdiction from providing its fair share of affordable housing, or regional
housing, as required by State law, and the governing elected legislative body
finds that a change to the ULL is necessary and the only feasible means to
enable the jurisdiction to meet these requirements of State law;
• A majority of the cities/towns that are party to a preservation agreement
and Contra Costa County has approved a change to the ULL affecting all or
any portion of the land covered by the preservation agreement;
• A minor change to the ULL will more accurately reflect topographical
characteristics or legal boundaries;
• A five-year cyclical review of the ULL has determined, based on the criteria
and factors for establishing the ULL set forth in Contra Costa County Code
(Section 82-1.010), that new information is available (from city/town, or
Contra Costa County growth management studies or otherwise) or
circumstances have changed, warranting a change to the ULL;
• An objective study has determined that a change to the ULL is necessary or
desirable to further the economic viability of the East Contra Costa County
Airport, and either (i) mitigate adverse aviation-related environmental or
community impacts attributable to Buchanan Field, or (ii) further Contra
Costa County’s aviation related needs; or
• A change is required to conform to applicable California or Federal law.
c. Adoption of a finding that the proposed Minor Adjustment will have a public benefit.
Said public benefit could include, but is not necessarily limited to, enhanced mobility
of people or goods, environmental protections or enhancements, improved air
quality or land use, enhanced public safety or security, housing or jobs,
infrastructure preservation or other significant positive community effects as
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 259
defined by the local land use authority. If the proposed Minor Adjustment to the ULL
is proposed to accommodate housing or commercial development, said proposal
must include permanent environmental protections or enhancements such as the
permanent protection of agricultural lands, the dedication of open space or the
establishment of permanent conservation easements.
d. The Minor Adjustment is not contiguous to one or more non-voter approved Minor
Adjustments that in total exceed 30 acres.
e. The Minor Adjustment does not create a pocket of land outside the existing ULL,
specifically to avoid the possibility of a jurisdiction wanting to fill in those
subsequently through separate adjustments.
f. Any jurisdiction proposing to process a Minor Adjustment to its applicable ULL that
impacts FMMP is required to have an adopted Agricultural Protection Ordinance or
must demonstrate how the loss of these agricultural lands will be mitigated by
permanently protecting farmland.
5. A local jurisdiction may revise its LV-ULL, and Contra Costa County may revise the
County ULL, to address issues of unconstitutional takings or conformance to State or Federal
law.
CONDITIONS OF COMPLIANCE
1. Submittal of an annexation request by a local jurisdiction to LAFCO outside of an
approved ULL will constitute non-compliance with the GMP.
2. For each jurisdiction, an applicable ULL shall be in place through each GMP compliance
reporting period in order for the local jurisdiction to be found in compliance with the GMP
requirements.
3. Submittal of an annexation request for land outside an approved ULL by a third party to
LAFCO will constitute non-compliance with the GMP, if the local jurisdiction: (1) submits a will-
serve letter to LAFCO. A will-serve letter determines the applicant’s ability and willingness to
serve the subject area and any further development; (2) utilizes an existing applicable tax
sharing agreement; and/or (3) enters into a new tax sharing agreement for the annexation
request.

Chairman John Gioia and Board Members
Contra Costa Board of Supervisors
Martinez, CA
Dear Chair Gioia and Board Members,
When you meet on September 24, please adopt resolution 2019/574 under agenda item
D.6 in favor of a O.5% sales tax to fund needed transportation improvements and also
approve the associated transportation expenditure Plan and conditional amendment of
Measure J.
TRAC, the Trails for Richmond Action Committee, is pleased that the plan dedicates
11% of expenditures for improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities, recognizing that
mode shift to cycling and walking will reduce traffic congestion and improve public
health while reducing energy use and emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gas-
es. We are especially glad to see funding for “making improvements so that pedestrians
and cyclists can better access the Richmond-San Rafael bridge, Richmond Parkway,
Richmond Ferry Terminal, and Richmond BART Station”.
Please vote “yes” for adoption of resolution 2019/574 under agenda item D.6. Thank
you very much.
Sincerely,
!
Bruce Beyaert, TRAC Chair

RECOMMENDATION(S):
INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 2019-25 regulating polystyrene-based food service ware in unincorporated
Contra Costa County; WAIVE reading; and FIX October 8, 2019, for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annual cost to enforce Ordinance No. 2019-25 is estimated to be $25,000. These costs will be paid with
Stormwater Utility Assessment funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee (TWI Committee) first heard this item on
November 8, 2018. That meeting provided the public an opportunity to give the County comments on
whether or not to ban polystyrene food and beverage containers, and if so, what types of products should be
banned. On December 4, 2018, the Board of Supervisors considered a TWI Committee recommendation to
adopt an ordinance banning polystyrene food and beverage containers and the extent of the ban. The Board
considered the recommendation and expanded the ban to include not only the use of, but also the sale of
polystyrene food and beverage containers. The Board then directed staff to prepare an ordinance to
implement that ban on polystyrene food service ware. The TWI Committee reviewed the ordinance at its
August 12, 2019, meeting and recommended its adoption by the Board.

7517-6W7086
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 298
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Ordinance No. 2019-25. Ordinance No. 2019-25 includes the following provisions:
The ordinance prohibits food vendors (e.g., restaurants, fast food or take-out
services, food trucks, and other businesses that sell food or beverages) in the
unincorporated County from using polystyrene food and beverage containers
beginning May 1, 2020.
The ordinance requires food vendors in the unincorporated County to use
environmentally friendly food and beverage containers.
The ordinance prohibits the sale of polystyrene food and beverage containers in the
unincorporated County beginning May 1, 2020.
Prepackaged food items, raw meat trays, and reusable polystyrene ice chests and
coolers are exempt.
Leases and rental agreements for County-owned facilities may require the use of
environmentally friendly food service ware. Contracts with County vendors and
service providers may require the use of environmentally friendly food service ware
in connection with services performed for the County.
The ordinance includes a process for food vendors to request that the Public Works
Director issue a one-year hardship exemption under limited circumstances.
An Administrative Bulletin, which will provide guidance and procedures to implement the ordinance
within County departments, is currently being prepared. The Administrative Bulletin would prohibit the
use of polystyrene-based food service ware by County departments.
Outreach. Before the TWI Committee meeting on August 12, 2019, staff expanded the outreach mailing
list for this project to include over 450 businesses and impacted parties, including representative
associations and other parties of interest, like the Restaurant Association, chambers of commerce, and
recyclers or recovery businesses. On July 15, 2019, a letter was sent to all parties on the outreach
mailing list informing them of the proposed polystyrene ban. The letter included a caption in both
Spanish and Chinese that directed them to a website with more information. The website includes text of
the letter in English with a button that takes the reader to a translated version of the text into either
Spanish or Chinese. The ordinance is also on the website in English, Spanish, and Chinese. The letter
requested comments on the ordinance and informed them of the opportunity to express their concerns in
person at the TWI Committee meeting on August 12, 2019. There was no public comment at the TWI
Committee meeting. A similar letter was subsequently sent to all parties on the outreach mailing list
informing them of the Board meeting on September 24, 2019, and the opportunity to submit comments
by mail, by e-mail, or by phone, or to comment in person at the Board meeting.
Comments on the Draft Ordinance. Three comments were received after mailing the July 15, 2019,
notice/letter. The first comment was from a restaurant in Port Costa that supports the County’s effort to
ban polystyrene food and beverage containers. The restaurant currently uses only compostable to-go
containers. The second set of comments was from the Sustainability Commission. They questioned
whether polystyrene raw meat trays were exempt. This was the intent, but it was not clear in the
ordinance, so the ordinance was modified to explicitly exempt raw meat trays. The Sustainability
Commission’s other comments were the same as those expressed by the third and last set of comments,
an e-mail from Howdy Goudey (attached) wherein he makes the following four points:
Compostable Products. Mr. Goudey urges the Board to include compostable
products in the definition of “environmentally-friendly food service ware.”
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 299
Define Compostable. Mr. Goudey suggests including a definition for compostable
products as those products accepted by the processors providing service to
unincorporated County communities.
County Facilities. Mr. Goudey suggests that County facilities “shall” use alternatives
to polystyrene food and beverage containers rather than “may” use alternative
materials. This is not the recommendation that was made by the TWI Committee.
However, if the Board desires to revise the ordinance in response to this comment,
Section 418-18.006 could be modified to provide that leases and rental agreements,
and County services contracts, entered into on or after May 1, 2020, “shall” require
lessees and contractors to use environmentally-friendly food service ware. If the
Board wants to allow exceptions where the County determines a lessee or contractor
would experience a hardship, Section 418-18.006 could be modified to allow for
those exceptions.
Reusable Products. Mr. Goudey suggests the ordinance emphasize the use of
reusable products is preferred and recommended over single-use products.
The issue of compostable products is complicated and revolves around timing. This was discussed at the
first TWI Committee meeting on November 8, 2018, and the excerpt of the staff report related to
compostable materials is included here for additional background as follows:
Compostable Materials. Initially staff recommended the alternative materials allowed would not include
compostable products. This was due to concerns expressed by County staff knowledgeable about the
recycling industry and the services and facilities available locally to manage compostable materials. At
their August 27, 2018, meeting, the Sustainability Commission advocated for including compostable
materials as an alternative to polystyrene. They felt it would still be better to have compostable materials
in the landfill than alternative plastic materials. In fact, it is worse to have compostable materials end up
in the landfill, because compostable materials would generate more greenhouse gas emissions than
landfilling recyclable plastic. Staff continues to recommend not including compostable materials as an
alternative to polystyrene at this time, for several reasons:
- Only some of the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County currently have separate
collection service for food waste or food contaminated compostable materials, so it is premature to
require businesses in unincorporated areas to package food in compostable "To Go" containers.
- The County only has authority over the Franchise Agreements that govern collection provided to
approximately 53% of the population living in unincorporated areas, so the County cannot require
consistent recycle and compostable collection services. For consistent service, the County will need
cooperation from the Special Districts or Joint Powers Authority having authority over the collection
franchises governing services provided to the remaining unincorporated areas (47%).
- New regulations are being developed in response to recent changes in State law that will impose
substantial new requirements related to recovery and composting of organics in the waste stream. It is
critical that the County not take an action mandating increased generation of compostable waste without
first ensuring there is sufficient composting capacity to manage food waste and other compostable items
already present in our waste stream.
- Some compostable products look very similar to plastic and cannot be distinguished by the public,
making proper sorting at the customer level problematic. This same challenge is also problematic for
composting facility operators, and when in doubt, the material will be disposed of and not composted. At
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 300
a minimum, it makes the sorting process more complex and time-consuming. If sorting costs increase,
recyclers are likely to either raise rates or refuse to accept compostable food waste materials. Refusal to
accept compostable materials would result in an increase in the waste stream to and methane emissions
from our landfills.
Our goal is to roll out an easy to understand and easy to implement program. Adding compostable
materials at this time would create confusion and increase complexity. Senate Bill 1383 (2016) requires
a 50% reduction in organic waste going to landfills by 2020 and a 75% reduction by 2025. The objective
of these reduction targets is to reduce methane emissions from landfills. Including compostable products
as an alternative material for food and beverage containers would increase the amount of organic waste
generated, making it harder to achieve these reduction targets as some of this waste would likely end up
in landfills.
Not all compostable products are the same. Plastic-based compostable products do not break down fast
enough for commercial composting and can get confused with other non-compostable plastics that then
contaminate the composting operation. Paper-based products are compatible with commercial
composting operations. Compostable grade plastic and paper food-ware both go in green-waste
containers as compostable products. Recyclable plastic food-ware goes into recycle containers.
The real challenge to recovering these materials is food remnants that contaminate food-ware materials.
Wholesale buyers of recycled materials have been requiring a much higher quality product. This in turn
means that food residue on recyclable plastic food-ware products must be washed off to be accepted at
recycling facilities. Unwashed recyclable plastic food-ware is diverted to the landfill. Therefore, it is
ultimately up to consumers to clean their food laden recyclable plastic food-ware if the County is to
reach its goal of reducing landfill disposal.
Composting has numerous benefits, including water conservation, improved soil health, and carbon
sequestration. Staff recommends the ordinance be amended in the future to include compostable
materials, once the County and local cities have compostable material collection programs in place. It
will also be important for the County to verify there is adequate composting facility capacity to manage
the additional material and obtain confirmation from the operator that the alternative compostable
materials that would be required will actually be composted locally.
Another potential option for the proposed ban of polystyrene food and beverage containers, not
recommended by staff, is to include a compostable provision that only allows paper-based products. At a
minimum, the County should consult with the composting facility operator to confirm the facility would
in fact compost the paper-based products that would be required by the ordinance. If the TWI
Committee chooses to include compostable products as an alternative material, then staff recommends
the ordinance not specify the inclusion of compostable materials, but also not preclude the use of
compostable materials. Instead, businesses will be informed of what alternative materials are acceptable
by County staff during the implementation phase of the polystyrene ban project. Initially, compostable
products will not be listed as an acceptable material. In the board order approving the ordinance, staff
would suggest specific prerequisite actions/milestones that would trigger when to include compostable
products as an acceptable material. Suggested prerequisite actions/milestones would include
determination that introduction of compostables would not negatively impact the County’s compliance
with SB 1383 regulations currently being developed by the State, assurance from local operators there is
adequate capacity to handle the additional compostable materials, and there is uniform collection service
throughout unincorporated communities accepting compostable food-ware materials (with food residue)
in green-waste containers.
At the December 4, 2018, Board meeting, the TWI Committee report concluded the following
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 301
recommendation for compostables:
Compostables. Do not include compostable products at this time.
Conditional Adoption. If adding compostable products to the ordinance is
considered, staff recommends the introduction of compostable products as an
acceptable alternative material would occur after certain conditions are met, to be
outlined in the board order adopting the ordinance:
Compatible with SB 1383 regulations
Adequate local compost operator capacity
Uniform compostable collection service
Ordinance Related Action Items. At the December 4, 2018, meeting, the Board directed staff to do the
following:
Letter to Cities and Towns. The Board asked staff to draft a letter to the cities and
towns advising them of the County’s proposed ordinance and the County’s interest
in having requirements throughout the County that are as consistent as possible. On
January 10, 2019, two draft letters, one to Cities/Towns with an ordinance and one
to Cities/Towns without an ordinance, were sent to each Board member for them to
send to the Cities/Towns within their Supervisorial District. The letter indicated that
County staff would be contacting the City/Town to discuss how they enforce their
ordinance, if they have one, and if they have no ordinance asking if they had plans
to adopt one.
City/Town Report. The Board asked staff to find out if Cities/Towns without an
ordinance had plans to adopt one, and for those Cities/Towns that have an
ordinance, how they enforce their ordinance. Staff contacted the Cities/Towns that
currently do not have a polystyrene ordinance (Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton,
Danville, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, and San Ramon) and asked if they
have plans to adopt an ordinance banning Styrofoam food and beverage containers.
None of the cities that responded are planning to adopt an ordinance, some due to
limited staff resources and some relying instead on a statewide ban. In a couple of
cities, staff is supportive of a ban, but the idea has not gained traction. Staff also
contacted the Cities/Towns that currently have a polystyrene ordinance (Concord, El
Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Pinole, Pittsburg, Richmond, San Pablo, and
Walnut Creek) and asked how they enforce their ordinance. Enforcement is either
through a complaint driven program where citizen complaints trigger an inspection,
or an inspection program that systematically inspects businesses for compliance. A
few City/Town enforcement programs are complaint driven, but most ordinances are
enforced through a formal inspection program, and most businesses readily comply
after the first warning. Some enforcement programs are being changed from
inspection to complaint driven because the rate of compliance is very high.
Public Service Announcement. The Board asked staff to prepare a public service
announcement explaining why the ban of polystyrene food and beverage containers
is needed to protect wildlife and prevent pollution of our waterways. Staff worked
with the Office of Communications and Media to develop a public serviceSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 302
with the Office of Communications and Media to develop a public service
announcement, which will be shown at the Board of Supervisors meeting.
It should be noted that a specific exemption for raw meat trays was added to the ordinance after the TWI
Committee meeting. The intent was always to exempt polystyrene raw meat trays. The Sustainability
Commission, in their review, questioned whether the ordinance as written in fact exempted raw meat
trays, so the ordinance was modified to include an explicit exemption.
Staff recommends introducing Ordinance 2019-25, waiving reading, and fixing October 8, 2019, for
adoption. Staff also recommends that the Board consider any public comments on the ordinance that will
be considered for approval at the October 8, 2019, Board meeting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If Ordinance No. 2019-25 is not introduced, it cannot be considered for adoption by the Board of
Supervisors.

(Ord. 2019-25, § 2.)
418-18.008 Exempt products and food vendor hardship exemptions.
(a) Exempt products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this chapter,
this chapter does not prohibit the sale or use of any of the following:
(1) Prepackaged food products that do not use environmentally-friendly packaging, or
that use polystyrene-based packaging materials.
(2) Polystyrene-based ice chests and coolers intended to be reused.
(3) Raw meat trays.
(b) Food vendor hardship exemptions.
(1) Application for hardship exemption. A food vendor may request a hardship
exemption from the requirements of this chapter by submitting a written request
to the Public Works Director. The food vendor must establish to the satisfaction
of the Public Works Director that use of polystyrene food service ware will cause
an undue hardship to the vendor, or that no suitable alternative to polystyrene
food service ware is available in the form of environmentally-friendly food
service ware. The Public Works Director may require the food vendor to provide
additional information in support of its request for a hardship exemption,
including but not limited to a list of available alternative packaging materials and
the reasons why those materials cannot be used without causing a hardship to the
food vendor. A hardship does not exist solely on the basis that an
environmentally-friendly food service ware product costs more than a similar
polystyrene food service ware product.
(2) Determination. A food vendor that submits a written request for a hardship
exemption will be issued a written decision by the Public Works Director
indicating whether the hardship exemption is granted. A written decision denying
a hardship exemption will explain the reasons for the denial.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 306
(3) Term. A hardship exemption is valid for a period of one year from the date the
Public Works Director approves the exemption.
(4) Successive exemptions permitted. A hardship exemption does not automatically
renew, and a new application for a hardship exemption is required to obtain a
successive one-year hardship exemption. There is no limit on the number of
successive one-year hardship exemptions a food vendor may apply for under this
section.
(Ord. 2019-25, § 2.)

requirements of this chapter within unincorporated Contra Costa County. The
County may seek compliance with this chapter by any remedy allowed under this
code, including, but not limited to, administrative fines, infraction citations, and
any other remedy allowed by law.
(Ord. 2019-25, § 2.)
SECTION 3. Effective Date and Publication. This ordinance becomes effective 30 days
following its adoption by the Board of Supervisors. Within 15 days after passage, this ordinance
shall be published in the East Bay Times, a newspaper published in this County, in a manner

voting for and against it.

Subject: Comments on Polystyrene Ban Ordinance
Dear Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and Staff,
I welcome the ban of polystyrene foodware in the proposed ordinance. Please consider the following
comments regarding this ordinance. I am the chair of the Contra Costa Sustainability Commission, but
these are my personal comments on the topic. The Commission submitted separate feedback as part of
our August 26th meeting.
The definition of “Environmentally-friendly food service ware” (418-18.002.a.1) only identifies
"recyclable" single-use products. The version of the ordinance posted in the Sustainability Commission
packet for their Aug. 26th meeting also included "compostable" products, but this reference to
compostable products was removed after that draft (this removal was not a recommendation of the
Commission).
It is inappropriate to exclude compostable foodware products from the definition of environmentally
friendly food service ware. In most cases compostable single-use food ware is superior to recyclable
options because the waste food and foodware are processed in the same waste stream and the
container does not need to be separated and cleaned of food, as a recyclable container does.
This will be increasingly important as the state mandated compliance with food-waste diversion into
(uncontaminated) compost streams is scheduled to increase significantly in coming years. Use of
appropriate compostable foodware containers will make this compliance much easier than separating
foodwaste and cleaned recyclable containers. Also, renewable plant based single use products
(principally paper and wood) are more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact than the
supply chain and processing impacts of petroleum based plastics, even when the plastics are recycled.
As has been widely recognized, the large fraction of single-use plastics that do not end up being recycled
have created serious pollution, on a massive scale, in the oceans and throughout our entire
environment.
It is true that there are some materials purported to be compostable (such as flatware made from hard
bioplastics) that, in practice, are not suitable for all compost processors, or at least are easily confused
with non-compostable items. However, this is not a reason to eliminate superior paper and wood based
compostable foodware options from the definition of environmentally friendly food service ware.
By additionally including a definition for compostable products (like 418-18.002.h), that specifies
compostable products as items that are accepted by the processors providing service to the
unincorporated county, the proper compostable products will be identified as part of the disclosure of
acceptable materials by the processors. The acceptable items may change over time with market
conditions and processing technology, making the ordinance defined in this manner more adaptable to
future changes in the recycling and composting industry.
Both lines 1 and 2 of 418-18.006, Use of polystyrene at County facilities, should be updated to change
"may" to "shall." If the county is requiring environmentally-friendly food service ware for all food
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 308
vendors, it needs to lead by example and require the same standards at all county facilities, whether it is
directly part of a county function, a contractor to the county, or a county facility rental to an outside
party.
I further recommend that the re-usable definition of environmentally-friendly food service ware (418-
18.002.a.2) be emphasized as the preferred and recommended approach over any single-use product,
including a statement that the long term operating costs for the food vendor will often be lower (they
will save money) if they utilize re-usable foodware products rather than continuously purchasing single-
use disposables.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Howdy Goudey

Findings in support of the adoption of Ordinance No. 2019 - 25 regulating polystyrene-based
food service ware in unincorporated Contra Costa County.
Findings:
The Board of Supervisors finds and determines as follows:
(a) Polystyrene, often referred to by the trademark “Styrofoam”, is a petroleum-based,
lightweight plastic material commonly used as food service ware by retail food
vendors operating in unincorporated Contra Costa County. Polystyrene has become
a problematic environmental pollutant because it is non-biodegradable and nearly
non-reusable. It can take hundreds of years for polystyrene to break down even in
landfills.
(b) The County and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District spend approximately $750,000 annually to remove litter from waterways
and sensitive environmental areas within the County. Polystyrene single-use food
service ware constitutes a significant portion of that litter.
(c) Prohibiting the use of polystyrene food service ware and requiring the use of
recyclable, compostable, and reusable food service ware will advance the County’s
interests in protecting its waterways, environment, and taxpayers from the negative
environmental and financial impacts associated with polystyrene food service ware.
This ordinance also is intended to assist the County with meeting is trash reduction
requirements under its regional stormwater permit issued by the regional water
quality control board. By enacting this ordinance, the County joins the following
cities within Contra Costa County that have enacted some type of ban on the use
and/or sale of polystyrene: Concord, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez,
Pinole, Pittsburg, Richmond, San Pablo, and Walnut Creek.
(d) Food service vendors and businesses may have existing inventories of polystyrene
food service ware, and they may need time to purchase environmentally friendly
food service ware. For those reasons, the prohibition against the sale and use of
polystyrene food service ware will be effective May 1, 2020.

Subject:NOMINATION OF 2020 OFFICERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 322
BACKGROUND:
At the first meeting of each calendar year, the Board of Supervisors reorganizes, selecting its chair and
vice chair, updating its rules of procedure, establishing the list of standing and ad hoc committees and
appointing board members to committees, and discussing prior year accomplishments and new year
goals and challenges. Preparation for the annual reorganization meeting requires many weeks of staff
effort, under the direction of the board chair.
The board of supervisors votes to select its officers following a nomination process. Although not a
requirement, the board has traditionally rotated the offices of chair and vice chair among the five
members, i.e., each member would serve as chair at least once during his/her term of office. This
rotation has historically been interrupted only due to changes in membership or absence due to illness.
The Chair serves as presiding officer of the Board; rules on questions of procedure; nominates for Board
approval representatives to Board committees whose appointment is not otherwise provided for; signs
resolutions, ordinances, contracts, leases and other official documents approved by the Board; preserves
order and decorum; and decides all questions of order. The Chair may consult with County Counsel in
making such rulings. Decisions of the Chair may be overruled by a majority vote of the Board of
Supervisors.
The Vice-Chair has and may exercise all powers and duties of the Chair at the meetings at which the
Chair is absent.
If neither the Chair nor the Vice-Chair is present at a Board meeting, the Board members present selects
one of their members to act as the Chair Pro Tempore. The Chair Pro Tempore shall have and exercise
all the powers and duties of the Chair for that particular meeting only.
In past years, the board has selected its officers at the January reorganization meeting. Because the
reorganization requires substantial thought and planning, early selection of new year officers would
permit the incoming board chair to take an active role in planning for the annual reorganization. Early
selection of officers going forward would necessitate changes to the following Rules of Procedure for
Board of Supervisors Meetings, as shown in attached Resolution No. 2019/500, Attachment A:
Rule 3: Organization Meeting
Rule 6: Annual Selection of Chair and Vice Chair
It is also recommended to incorporate rules for electronic attendance by Supervisors at board meetings,
which are added in Section 14 of the Rules, and restricting certain types of devices from being brought
into the board chambers, which is addressed in Rule 15.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Planning and administrative of the annual board reorganization may take longer to implement if the
2020 board officers are not decided in the fall of 2019.

addressed, a person wishing to address the Board should fill out a yellow speaker card

name for the record, and, if speaking for an organization or other group, identify the
organization or group represented.

public testimony from all sides of any issue, it is the Board’s policy that the audience will
be discouraged from engaging in audible or emotional displays of support or opposition
to testimony provided. Behavior such as clapping, booing, hissing, and cheering can
create an intimidating environment for people interested in giving public testimony and
can unnecessarily lengthen Board meetings. Consequently, such behavior is discouraged.

argument to the Board as presented by earlier speakers, or be profane in presenting their
oral comments.
11.1.9 In order to expedite matters and to avoid repetitious presentations,
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 332

communication devices, such as mobile phones and pagers, will be turned off or put in a
non-audible mode during Board meetings.
11.1.11 Any of the foregoing rules may be waived by the Chair or by a
majority vote of the Board members present when it is deemed that there is good cause to
do so, based upon the particular facts and circumstances involved.
11.1.12 The rules set forth above are not exclusive and do not limit the
inherent power and general legal authority of the Board, or of its presiding officer, to govern
the conduct of Board meetings as may be considered appropriate from time to time or in
particular circumstances for purposes of orderly and effective conduct of the affairs of the
County.
11.2 Addressing the Board—Public Comment

the County but not on the agenda. Such comments are limited to no more than three minutes per

comments, either by mail or via email: clerkoftheboard@cob.cccounty.us.

testimony. If the item is an appeal from a decision of a lower body (e.g., subdivision, land

12.1.5 Rebuttal. A rebuttal not exceeding five minutes may be made by the

September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 334
conduct of serious affairs. The Chair may exclude irrelevant or redundant
testimony and may make such other rulings as may be necessary for the orderly
conduct of the proceedings ensuring basic fairness and a full airing of the issues
involved.
12.3 Exhibits.
12.3.1 Subject to paragraph 12.3.2, all exhibits, including documentary
materials such as photographs, drawings, maps, charts, letters, petitions and
other physical evidence, presented at a land use hearing shall be retained in the
Board of Supervisors files as part of the record of the hearing.
12.3.2 Any staff exhibit (e.g., a general plan or area map) that has been or
will be used in other land use hearings will be preserved by the Community
Development Department for future reference. A notation indicating its location
shall be made in the case file in any matter in which it has been used.
12.4 Questioning of Speakers and Staff.
Any person desiring to direct a question to a speaker or staff member shall submit the
question to the Chair, who shall determine whether the question is relevant to the
subject of the hearing and whether or not it need be answered by the speaker or staff
member.
12.5 Overriding Fairness. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1, the Board is
committed to provide an applicant, appellant, or other person or entity with a substantial,
direct property interest in an item, a full and fair hearing, based on the facts and
circumstances of the particular matter, the nature and complexity of the particular issue, the
number of persons wishing to be heard, and similar due process considerations. Toward
this end, the Chair, in his or her discretion, may extend the time limits set forth in
paragraph 12.1 and consider other procedural mechanisms.
12.6 Absent From Hearing. A Supervisor who was absent from all or part of a hearing
may vote on the matter if the Supervisor states for the record that he or she has reviewed all

proceedings that occurred during his or her absence.

Rule 13. Nuisance Abatement Hearings
A hearing on an appeal from the County Abatement Officer’s Notice and Order to Abate shall be
held in accordance with the provisions of County Ordinance Code section 14-6.418, as well as with
these Procedures. In the event of a conflict, the provisions of County Ordinance Code section 14-
6.418 shall prevail.
Rule 14. Rules for Participating by Teleconference
The Brown Act permits members of the Board of Supervisors to participate in Board meetings by
teleconference, but only when certain legal requirements are met. (Gov. Code, § 53953 (b).) If these
requirements are not met, then the Supervisor calling in cannot be counted as part of the quorum for the
meeting, can only listen to the meeting, and cannot discuss any item or vote.
If a Supervisor wishes to be able to discuss items and vote by telephone, then, in addition to the usual
agenda posting requirements, the following must occur in advance of the meeting:
14.1. Quorum Required. The County Administrator must ensure that during the teleconference
meeting, at least a quorum of the Board will participate from locations in the County.
14.2 Agenda Requirement - All Locations Must be Listed. Each telephone conference location and
the meeting location must be shown on the agenda for the meeting. In addition, the agenda must
provide an opportunity for members of the public to give public comment from each teleconference
location. So, for example, if a Supervisor is participating at a Board Committee from his or her
District Office, then the location for the meeting shown on the agenda would be, for example: 651
Pine Street Room 101, Martinez, CA, AND the address of the Supervisor's District Office. The
Supervisor's Office would be considered a meeting location, and the public would be entitled to
attend the meeting at that location. See Item 14.4 below.
14.3 Agenda Requirement - Posting. In addition to the usual posting agenda locations and County
website, an agenda will be posted at each teleconference location 96 hours in advance of the meeting.
The Supervisor participating from his/her District office shall post the Agenda at his/her office 96
hours in advance of the Board meeting.
14.4 Public Participation at Remote Location. Each teleconference location must be open and
accessible to members of the public. Thus, if a Supervisor’s District Office is a teleconference
location, it must be open to the public during the meeting. The Supervisor would need to have a
speaker phone so that members of the public would be able to hear the meeting and address the Board
directly by speaker phone from his/her office.
14.5 Roll Call Vote. All votes taken during a teleconference meeting must be by roll call.
Rule 15. Disruption of Meeting
For the purpose of insuring the orderly conduct of the Board of Supervisors meeting, no whistles,
horns, drums, noise makers, megaphones, air horns, bullhorns, or other amplified devices are
allowed inside the County Administration Building while the meeting is in session. If any meeting
is willfully interrupted by a group or groups of persons so that the orderly conduct of the meeting
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 336
becomes infeasible and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully
interrupting the meeting, the Chair may order the meeting room cleared, as authorized by law
(Gov. Code, § 54957.9), recess the meeting, or adjourn the meeting

Rule 14. Rules for Participating by Teleconference
The Brown Act permits members of the Board of Supervisors to participate in Board meetings by
teleconference, but only when certain legal requirements are met. (Gov. Code, § 53953 (b).) If these
requirements are not met, then the Supervisor calling in cannot be counted as part of the quorum for the
meeting, can only listen to the meeting, and cannot discuss any item or vote.
If a Supervisor wishes to be able to discuss items and vote by telephone, then, in addition to the usual
agenda posting requirements, the following must occur in advance of the meeting:
14.1. Quorum Required. The County Administrator must ensure that during the teleconference
meeting, at least a quorum of the Board will participate from locations in the County.
14.2 Agenda Requirement - All Locations Must be Listed. Each telephone conference location and
the meeting location must be shown on the agenda for the meeting. In addition, the agenda must
provide an opportunity for members of the public to give public comment from each teleconference
location. So, for example, if a Supervisor is participating at a Board Committee from his or her
District Office, then the location for the meeting shown on the agenda would be, for example: 651
Pine Street Room 101, Martinez, CA, AND the address of the Supervisor's District Office. The
Supervisor's Office would be considered a meeting location, and the public would be entitled to
attend the meeting at that location. See Item 14.4 below.
14.3 Agenda Requirement - Posting. In addition to the usual posting agenda locations and County
website, an agenda will be posted at each teleconference location 96 hours in advance of the meeting.
The Supervisor participating from his/her District office shall post the Agenda at his/her office 96
hours in advance of the Board meeting.
14.4 Public Participation at Remote Location. Each teleconference location must be open and
accessible to members of the public. Thus, if a Supervisor’s District Office is a teleconference
location, it must be open to the public during the meeting. The Supervisor would need to have a
speaker phone so that members of the public would be able to hear the meeting and address the Board
directly by speaker phone from his/her office.
14.5 Roll Call Vote. All votes taken during a teleconference meeting must be by roll call.
Rule 15. Disruption of Meeting
For the purpose of insuring the orderly conduct of the Board of Supervisors meeting, no whistles,
horns, drums, noise makers, megaphones, air horns, bullhorns, or other amplified devices are
allowed inside the County Administration Building while the meeting is in session. If any meeting
is willfully interrupted by a group or groups of persons so that the orderly conduct of the meeting
becomes infeasible and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully
interrupting the meeting, the Chair may order the meeting room cleared, as authorized by law
(Gov. Code, § 54957.9), recess the meeting, or adjourn the meetingIf any meeting is willfully
interrupted by a group or groups of persons so that the orderly conduct of the meeting becomes
infeasible and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting
the meeting, the Chair may order the meeting room cleared, as authorized by law (Gov. Code, §

September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 353
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
adopted by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) or constructed.
In 2005, the County received two federal appropriations totaling $14 million for the planning and
construction of the SR239 project. The County initiated planning work for the project but it was later
transferred to CCTA due to CCTA's broader geographic area of responsibility, and direct relationships
with state and regional agencies. This was formalized in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
CCTA in January 2012. Under the terms of the MOU, CCTA assumed responsibility for the planning
and future phases of the Project with the County reimbursing CCTA for the local matching funds and
project management costs up to a maximum amount of $1.45 million. The Project Feasibility Study was
completed in May 2014 and a Project Initiation Document (PID), with Caltrans oversight, was
completed in August 2015.
The federal funds require that the project enter into the construction phase by 2024. CCTA, Caltrans and
County staff met in 2018 to review previously completed work, current status, potential changes and
project funding. There was agreement that the project is ready to proceed to the Project Approval and
Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase of development. Completion of the PA&ED phase will
identify the SR239 alignment and advance the first phase of the project to the “shelf ready” stage in
order to compete for future funding opportunities. These are essential steps towards meeting the federal
funding progress requirement. Both the County and CCTA would like to proceed with the PA&ED
phase of the Project, which will allow for right of way protection and preservation of the corridor, and
environmental clearance, including engineering and construction of an the Byron Highway – Vasco
Road Connector, should funding become available. The Byron Highway- Vasco Road Connector is
expected to become part of SR239 and is already designated to receive $10 million under Regional
Measure 3 approved by voters in 2018. In March 2019, the CCTA entering into a Cooperative
Agreement with Caltrans for the PA&ED for the Project
The MOU is amended and restated to include the updated requirements and responsibilities of both
parties related to the PA&ED phase and to increase the County’s financial commitment for local
matching funds and CCTA’s project management cost to $3.635 million. The County and CCTA will
review CCTA’s project management cost at least once every twelve months and the County’s financial
commitment may be revised by mutual agreement in the future.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the recommended actions are not taken the Project will not have sufficient funding to complete the
PA&ED phase.

Subject:Creek and Channel Safety Awareness Month and its Associated Program, Countywide. Project No. 7520-6B8311
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 390
BACKGROUND:
On March 1, 2011, the Board of Supervisors directed the FC District to develop a sustainable and
impactful outreach program to promote creek and channel safety throughout the County, after the
drowning of two high school students in the Walnut Creek channel. In response, the FC District formed
a CCSAP team that developed a strategy to achieve this goal.
On October 4, 2011, the Board declared October 2011 as the first Creek and Channel Safety Awareness
Month, accepted the status report from the FC District on the CCSAP, approved the implementation
plan, and directed the FC District to continue with implementation and initiation of an annual campaign
of a sustainable CCSAP, including a follow-up report to the Board in one year.
Since then, the Board of Supervisors received and approved a status report on the Annual CCSAP, and
declared October as Creek and Channel Safety Awareness Month in the years 2012 through 2018. The
Board of Supervisors also directed the FC District to continue with implementation and the annual
campaign of a Countywide sustainable CCSAP, including a follow-up report to the Board in one year.
This past year, we refreshed the warning stencils and signs in our facilities, completed the annual
outreach to schools in September, and worked with Walnut Creek Intermediate School to put on our
fourth annual Creek and Channel Safety Event. The annual event involved working with the leadership
class to help develop and implement events for students that would raise student awareness of the “Stay
Out, Stay Alive!” campaign. The highly successful program engaged hundreds of students in such
activities as a poster competition, sharing of watershed information, distribution of “Stay Out, Stay
Alive!” bracelets, and equipment showcase from Contra Costa Fire Protection District’s Swiftwater
Rescue personnel. As in the past, several student posters were laminated and placed in prominent
locations in downtown Walnut Creek to communicate their safety message through the winter. The FC
District also had an information table at Las Lomas High School’s Wellness Fair and continued to share
creek and safety information in April.
The Chief Engineer, FC District, recommends that the Board declare October 2019 as Creek and
Channel Safety Awareness Month, accept the above report, and direct the Public Works Department and
FC District to continue with implementation and the annual campaign of a Countywide sustainable
CCSAP, including a follow-up report to this Board in one year.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Resolution is not adopted, members of the public may not receive important information about
creek and channel safety.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The FC District will continue to work with the schools and youth-based groups within the County to
educate children about safety regarding creeks and flood control channels.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22431 to reclassify one (1) full-time Administrative Services
Officer (APDB) (unrepresented) position # 5997 at salary plan and grade B82 1692 ($7,029-$9,454) and its

Subject:Reclassify one Administrative Services Officer position and incumbent to Departmental Personnel Officer-Exempt
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 440
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the various personnel management officers into a single classification. This action reclassifies the
Library’s Administrative Services Officer who has exclusively handled personnel and labor matters to
this new Departmental Personnel Officer-Exempt classification.
Over the past several years, the duties of the Administrative Services Officer position have expanded to
reach the highest level in scope of personnel management services provided to support Library
operations. These duties include advising the County Librarian, Deputy County Librarians, and
management staff on the full range of personnel, complex reassignment, labor relations, leave
administration, performance improvement and nondiscrimination programs. This position is now a
member of the Department’s Executive Team and serves as the Department Appointing Authority.
The incumbent likewise takes ultimate responsibility for labor negotiations, including maintaining
compliance with agreed upon policies and procedures, while coordinating with Labor Relations to put
forth management’s position on matters. In addition, the incumbent oversees department timekeeping
and payroll processing ensuring coordination and adherence to County requirements as well as an
ongoing substitute staffing program to make certain that temporary vacancies are filled in accordance
with labor agreements. The incumbent supervises professional and support staff and is responsible for
directing the full complement of personnel management activities of the department on a full-time basis.
The duties of the position have therefore grown beyond the Administrative Services Officer
classification and the Departmental Personnel Officer – Exempt class is more appropriate for the
position and its incumbent. The Public Works, Health Services, and Employment and Human Services
Departments have DPOs and the Library's Administrative Services Officer assigned to personnel
functions is performing duties commensurate to the DOP incumbents in other departments.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this position change is not approved, the incumbent and position will not be classified the same as
other classifications with similar duties throughout the County and the incumbent will continue to
perform required duties outside the current classification.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in high schools throughout the County, DPOs that work from local police departments, aftercare DPOs
at Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitative Facility, and the provision of Functional Family Therapy.
The Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) was enacted in 2007 as part of the state's decision to
transfer to local Probation Departments the responsibility to care for youth who were no longer eligible
to be committed to the state's Department of Juvenile Justice. Allocations from the YOBG are used to
enhance the capacity of county probation, mental health, drug and alcohol, and other county departments
to provide appropriate rehabilitative and supervision services to youthful offenders.
The Deputy Public Defender-Fixed Term Project position will provide holistic legal services to youth
impacted by the juvenile justice system. The attorney selected for this position will act as the Public
Defender's Juvenile Education Advocate/Re-entry Attorney and provide holistic, civil legal services to
youth impacted by the juvenile justice system to improve their educational outcomes, decrease youth
homelessness, increase access to medical and mental health care, and increase employment
opportunities. This position will be funded by the YOBG/JJCPA which is administered through the
Contra Costa Probation Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the project could not proceed and juvenile clients of the Office of the
Public Defender will not receive necessary education advocacy services and other holistic legal services.

to accommodate the needs of employees returning to work from various leaves of absence. The ADA
Manager is also responsible for providing guidance and training to staff in County departments on the

the ACA and Leave Administrator position resides in Human Resources. The function of the ADA Manager
is more closely aligned with the work in the Human Resources Department. As such, during the FY
2019/2020 budget planning process, the decision was made to transfer the position and function to Human
Resources effective 7/1/2019. The position is currently vacant.

LEASE
2047 Arnold Industrial Way, Suite A
Concord, California
This lease is dated July 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) and is between the COUNTY OF
CONTRA COSTA, a political subdivision of the State of California (“County”) and BERKELEY FOOD
AND HOUSING PROJECT, a private non-profit California corporation (“Lessee”).
Recitals
A. The County is the owner of the property located at 2047 Arnold Industrial Way, Concord,
California (the “Property”). The Property has been improved with a building (the
“Building”) and a parking lot. Lessee desires to lease that portion of the Building known as
Suite A, which consists of approximately 2,400 square feet of rentable space (the
“Premises”), and to have non-exclusive use of 5 parking stalls on the Property.
B. The County and Lessee are parties to a contract dated July 1, 2019, under which the Lessee
will operate the County Coordinated, Outreach, Referral and Assessment Center and
Warming Center for homeless support at the Premises (the “Service Contract”), a copy of
which is attached as Exhibit A.
C. The parties desire that Lessee lease the Premises from the County only while the Service
Contract is in effect.
The parties therefore agree as follows:
Agreement
1. Lease of Premises. In consideration of the rents and subject to the terms herein set forth, the
County hereby leases to the Lessee and the Lessee hereby leases from the County, the
Premises, subject to all easements and encumbrances of record.
2. Term. The “Term” of this lease is two years, commencing July 1, 2019 and continuing
through June 30, 2021. If the then-current Service Contract is renewed for another two
years, this lease may be renewed for additional two two-year period (each such renewal, a
“Renewal Term”) upon (i) the mutual consent of the parties, and (ii) the County’s receipt of
a renewal notice from Lessee at least sixty days prior to the end of the Term. Upon the
commencement of a Renewal Term, all references to the Term of this lease will be deemed
to mean the Term as extended pursuant to this Section.
3. Early Termination. If the Service Contract is terminated for any reason, the Term of this
lease will end upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal
Term, as applicable, and (ii) ten days after the termination of the Service Contract.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 479

4. Rent. Each month during the Term, Lessee shall pay rent to the County in the amounts set
forth below, without offset or demand on or before the first day of each month; provided,
however, monthly Rent for July 2019, August 2019 and September 2019 is due not later than
(i) ten days after this lease is fully executed, or (ii) October 1, 2019, whichever occurs earlier.
a. Initial Term.
$1,382.00 per month commencing July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020.
$1,423.00 per month commencing July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2021.
b. First Renewal Term.
$1,466.00 per month commencing July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022.
$1,510.00 per month commencing July 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2023.
c. Second Renewal Term.
$1,555.00 per month commencing July 1, 2023 and ending June 30, 2024.
$1,602.00 per month commencing July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025.
Rent for any fractional month will be prorated and computed on a daily basis with each day’s
rent equal to one-thirtieth (1/30) of the monthly Rent.
5. Additional Payment Terms.
a. Late Rental Payments: In the event Lessee fails to pay County any amount due under this
lease within five (5) days after such amount is due, Lessee shall pay to County a late
charge of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100) per occurrence (the “Late Charge”),
plus interest on the unpaid balance at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month,
from the date the payment was due and payable until paid in full. Lessee shall pay all
Late Charges as additional rent on or before the date the next installment of rent is due.
County and Lessee hereby agree that it is and will be impracticable and extremely
difficult to ascertain and fix County’s actual damage from any late payments and, thus,
that Lessee shall pay as liquidated damages to County the Late Charge specified in this
Section, which is the result of the parties’ reasonable endeavor to estimate fair average
compensation for the late payment (other than attorneys’ fees and costs). County’s
acceptance of the Late Charge as liquidated damages does not constitute a waiver of
Lessee’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent County from exercising
any of the rights and remedies available to County under this lease.
b. Form and Place of Payment: Lessee shall pay all rents and fees in cash or by personal
check, certified check, or money order, payable to the County of Contra Costa, by
delivering same on or before due date to Contra Costa County, Public Works Department
– Real Estate Division, 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, California 94553, or at such other
place as County may designate from time to time.
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 480

c. Returned Checks: If a check written by Lessee is returned for insufficient funds, County
may impose a reasonable service charge in addition to any Late Charge and in addition
to any charges imposed by the bank. County may require Lessee to pay rent by certified
check or money order if Lessee’s bank or banks have returned one or more personal
checks within the preceding twelve (12) month period.
d. Definition of Rent: “Rent” means all amounts due from Lessee to County under this
lease.
6. Use. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Premises may be used by the Lessee only to
operate the County Coordinated, Outreach, Referral and Assessment Center and Warming
Center for homeless support.
Lessee may not use the Premises for any other purpose without the prior written consent of
the County. Any use of the Premises other than as described herein without the County’s
prior written consent is a default of this lease.
7. Utility Obligations. County is responsible for the cost of all utilities provided to the
Premises, including gas, electricity, water, pest control, sewer, and security alarm services.
Lessee shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all other services provided to the Premises,
including but not limited to, telephone, refuse collection and janitorial services.

expense throughout the Term of this lease, maintain the non-structural portions of the
interior of the Premises in the same condition as existed at the commencement of this

equal to the original material and workmanship. The Director of Public Works, or his or
her designee, is the sole judge of the quality of maintenance.

treat as often as reasonably required in the sole discretion of the County. Lessee may not

Upon written notice by the County, Lessee shall perform whatever reasonable
maintenance the County deems reasonably necessary and which is Lessee’s

receipt of the County’s request for reimbursement.
b. County shall provide or cause to be provided adequate enclosures, screened areas and/or
suitable covered metal receptacles on the Property for the short-term accumulation and
storage of solid waste, such as rubbish, trash, and garbage. Such enclosures and/or
screened areas must be designed in such a way as to prevent, to the extent possible, odors,
fumes, attraction of pests and dispersal of wastes due to wind or water runoff and must
be serviced regularly by qualified waste removal and disposal services.
c. Utilities. The County shall repair and maintain the interior electrical, lighting, water and
plumbing systems in good order, condition and repair; provided, however, if such
systems are damaged as a result of Lessee’s abuse, vandalism, or negligence, then the

10. Covenant against Liens. Lessee may not permit any mechanic’s, material man’s, or other
lien against the Premises, or the property of which the Premises forms a part, in connection
with any labor, materials, or services furnished or claimed to have been furnished. If any
such lien is filed against the Premises, or property of which the Premises forms a part, Lessee
will cause the lien to be discharged.

September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 482

liability, cost or expense to the County, to contest the amount in good faith. However, Lessee
is not responsible for federal or state income or any real property taxes and assessments
arising from county (i) failure to timely pay any such taxes and assessments or (ii)

the Director of Public Works or his or her designee. In the event Lessee makes alterations
or constructs additions that violate the conditions contained in this lease (an “Unauthorized
Addition”), at the County’s sole discretion, Lessee shall remove any Unauthorized Addition
at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. If Lessee is required to remove any Unauthorized
Addition, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall restore the Premises to the conditions
existing immediately prior to the existence of the Unauthorized Addition. If Lessee is not

additional improvements to the Premises as provided in this Section, Lessee may not
commence construction until Lessee has the prior written consent of the County. In addition,
a Notice of Lessor Non-Responsibility must be posted and recorded by Lessee during

shall name the County as an additional insured and loss payee with respect to the
improvements and betterments.
c. Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance. The Lessee shall maintain
in full force and effect, at its sole expense, (i) statutory California Workers’

e. Notice of Cancellation or Reduction of Coverage. The Lessee shall cause all policies it
is required to obtain under the terms of this lease to contain a provision that the County

defined in insurance policies and forms approved for use in the State of California. Each
party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by their insurer, to evidence
compliance with this waiver.
17. Surrender of Premises. On the last day of the Term, or sooner termination of this lease, the
Lessee shall peaceably and quietly leave and surrender to the County the Premises, along

September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 484

18. Abandonment. The Lessee may not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the
Term. If the Lessee abandons, vacates, or surrenders the Premises, or is dispossessed by
process of law, or otherwise, the County may deem any personal property belonging to the
Lessee that remains on the Premises to be abandoned.
19. Waste, Nuisance. The Lessee may not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste upon
the Premises, or any nuisance or other act or thing that may disturb the quiet enjoyment of
any other occupant of the neighborhood in which the Premises is located.
20. Inspection. The County may enter the Premises at any time in an emergency and with 24 -
hours’ notice in a non-emergency to determine that (i) the Premises is being reasonably cared
for, (ii) no waste is being made and that all actions affecting the Premise s are done in the
manner best calculated to preserve the Premises, and (iii) the Lessee is in compliance with
the terms and conditions of this lease.
21. Destruction. If damage occurs that causes a partial destruction of the Premises during the
Term from any cause, the County may, at its option, make repairs within a reasonable time.
Partial destruction does not void this lease, except that the Lessee is entitled to a
proportionate reduction in Rent while such repairs are being made. The proportionate
reduction in Rent is to be calculated by multiplying Rent by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of square feet that are unusable by the Lessee and the denominator of
which is the total number of square feet in the Premises.
If the County does not elect to make repairs, or if (i) partial destruction occurs in the last
twelve (12) months of the Term, and (ii) the repairs or restoration cannot be completed within
one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the partial destruction, then this lease
may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, without cost,
obligation or liability to the other party, except as described herein, provided the Service
Contract is terminated simultaneously.
This lease will terminate in the event of a total destruction of the Premises.
22. Indemnification. The Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold County, its officers, agents
and employees harmless from any and all claims, costs and liability, for any damage, injury
or death, including without limitation, all consequential damages from any cause whatsoever,
to any person or the property of any person arising directly or indirectly from or connected
with this lease, the Lessee’s operations, or the Lessee’s use or possession of the Premises,
save and except claims or litigation arising through the sole negligence or sole willful
misconduct of County, its officers or employees, and shall make good to and reimburse
County for any expenditures, including reasonable attorney’s fees, County may make by
reason of such matters.

23. Default and Remedies.
a. The occurrence of any of the following events is a default under this lease:
i. The Lessee’s failure to pay rent in accordance with Section 4 of this lease.
ii. The Lessee’s failure to comply with any other material term or provision of this
lease if such failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of a
written notice from the County to the Lessee specifying the nature of the breach
in reasonably sufficient detail (a “Notice of Default”).
1. If the required cure of the noticed failure cannot be completed within
thirty (30) days, the failure to cure will not be deemed to be a default of
this lease if the Lessee has attempted to cure the failure within the thirty-
day period and has diligently and continuously attempted to complete the
cure as soon as reasonably possible. In no event will the cure period
extend beyond the sixty-day period after Lessee’s receipt of the Notice of
Default.
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of a third Notice of Default
in any twelve-month period that relates to the same, or substantially
similar, Lessee failure is a default that is not subject to a cure period.
b. Upon the occurrence of a default by the Lessee, the County may reenter and repossess
the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises, after giving the
Lessee written Notice of Default and in accordance with due process of law.
24. Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this lease shall be in writing and sent by
overnight delivery service or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and directed as

25. Successors and Assigns. This lease binds and inures to the benefit of the heirs, successors,
and assigns of the parties hereto.
26. Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the
Term, such holding over does not constitute a renewal or extension of this lease, but will be
construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and conditions set forth
in this lease, except that the monthly rent due and payable hereunder will be 125 % of the
rent payable as of the last month of the Term.
27. Time is of the Essence. In fulfilling all terms and conditions of this lease, time is of the
essence.

lease.

September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 595
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department of Contra Costa County (County) is proposing to develop a vacant lot with
additional parking and a dog play area to accommodate overflow visitors and improve pedestrian safety and
congestion at the existing Martinez Animal Shelter. The project would develop the vacant site at the corner
of Imhoff Drive and Blum Road, with a landscaped dog play area featuring a shade area, landscaping,
artificial turf, fencing, entry corral, and safety lighting. A new dog path along the north side of the site
would provide a safe connection from the existing dog play area to the new dog play area. The project
would also include the development of a new parking area. The new parking area would accommodate 23
vehicles and connect to the existing parking lot at the east side of the site. Access to the new parking area
would continue from Imhoff Place.
On November 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors awarded a job order contract (JOC) for repair,
remodeling, and other repetitive work to be performed pursuant to the Construction Task Catalog to each of
Mark Scott Construction, Inc., Aztec Consultants, and Staples Construction Company, Inc., each in the
amount of $2,500,000. This project is expected to be performed by one of the three JOC contractors. A task
order catalogue has been prepared for the JOC contractor to complete this Project. In the event that the
Project is not performed by the JOC contractor, the Public Works Department will return to the Board for
approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.

September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 597
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
households. The County program may be undertaken within the unincorporated County and within the
cities located in the County that have agreed to let the County operate the program in their jurisdiction.
Bridge Housing, a nonprofit affordable housing developer, requested to participate in the County's
multifamily mortgage revenue bond financing program, as the managing general partner of Coggins
Square Apartments, L.P. with a tax credit investor partner in order to finance the acquisition and
rehabilitation of an existing affordable development. The proposed development consists of an 87-unit
multifamily rental housing facility known as Coggins Square Apartments located at 1316 Las Juntas
Way in the unincorporated area of the County near Walnut Creek (APN 148-500-056-4). It meets the
eligibility criteria for bond financing and the County policy for this program.
A requirement of federal tax law is that the prospective financing be subject to a conditional statement of
intent to issue bonds to reimburse expenses incurred prior to the date the bonds are issued, i.e. a
reimbursement resolution must be adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Also, the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee that allocates tax-exempt bond authority for the bond issue, requires that a
reimbursement resolution be adopted before an application may be submitted for such an allocation. The
adoption of a reimbursement resolution will not obligate the County or the owner without future
discretionary actions, but will indicate the intent of the County to issue the bonds if all conditions in the
reimbursement resolution have been satisfied.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the reimbursement resolution, Coggins Square Apartments, L.P. will not be able to commence
with the process of applying to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee for multifamily housing
revenue bond authority through the County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The recommendation supports one or more of the following children's outcomes:
(1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School;
(2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood;
(3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient;
(4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and
(5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

Resolution Setting Forth the County’s Official Intent to Issue Revenue Bonds to Finance a Multifamily Residential Rental
Housing Development – Coggins Square Apartments
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa (the “County”) has determined that there is a shortage of
safe and sanitary housing within the County, and that it is in the best interest of the residents of the County and in furtherance of
the health, safety and welfare of the public for the County to assist in the financing of multifamily rental housing developments;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California, and particularly Chapter 7 of Part
5 thereof (the “Act”), the County is empowered to issue and sell revenue bonds for the purpose of making mortgage loans or
otherwise providing funds to finance the acquisition, construction and rehabilitation of multifamily rental housing, including
units for lower income households and very low income households; and
WHEREAS, Coggins Square Apartments, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Borrower”) has requested that the County
consider the issuance and sale of tax-exempt revenue bonds (the “Bonds”) pursuant to the Act for the purpose of lending the
proceeds thereof to the Borrower to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation by the Borrower of 87 units of multifamily rental
housing currently known as Coggins Square Apartments located at 1316 Las Juntas Way in the unincorporated area of the
County near Walnut Creek (the “Development”), to be owned by the Borrower; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested an expression of the Board of Supervisors willingness to authorize the issuance of the
Bonds at a future date after the documentation relating to the financing has been prepared and completed, and the County’s
requirements for the issuance of such Bonds have been satisfied; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors now wishes to declare its intention to authorize the issuance of the Bonds, provided
certain conditions are met, for the purpose of financing costs of the Development, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$25,000,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa as follows:
Section 1. The Board of Supervisors hereby determines that it is necessary and desirable to provide financing for the
Development pursuant to the Act by the issuance of the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Twenty-Five
Million Dollars ($25,000,000). The issuance of the Bonds shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) the County by
resolution of the Board of Supervisors shall have first agreed to acceptable terms and conditions for the Bonds (and for the sale
and delivery thereof), and for all agreements with respect to the Bonds to which the County will be a party; (b) all requisite
governmental approvals for the Bonds shall have first been obtained; (c) the Bonds shall be payable from revenues received with
respect to a loan to the Borrower made with the proceeds of the Bonds, and neither the full faith nor the credit of the County shall
be pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds; (d) any occupancy and other requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code “) are satisfied or otherwise provided for with respect to Bonds, the interest on
which is intended to be excluded from gross income for federal tax purposes; (e) any occupancy and other requirements of the
Act with respect to the Development are satisfied or otherwise provided for; and (f) any occupancy and other requirements of the
County applicable to the Development are satisfied or otherwise provided for.

Subject:FY 2018/19 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development
September 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 603
BACKGROUND:
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER): The Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires all CDBG and HOME entitlement
jurisdictions to prepare and submit a CAPER (Attachment A) to the U.S Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) by September 30 of each year. The CAPER provides the County and
interested stakeholders with an opportunity to evaluate the progress in carrying out priorities and
objectives contained in the County's five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan. HUD uses the
CAPER to evaluate whether: (1) the County has carried out projects/programs as described in its
Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan; (2) the CDBG, HOME, ESG, NSP, and HOPWA assisted
activities are eligible and meet a national objective, and if expenditures meet certain statutory
requirements; and (3) the County has demonstrated a continuing capacity to carry out its HUD funded
programs.
The basic elements of the CAPER are the following: summary of resources and expenditures,
programmatic accomplishments, status of actions taken during the year to implement objectives
contained in the Consolidated Plan, and evaluation of progress made during the year in addressing
identified priority needs and objectives.
Highlights of the CAPER include the following:
- The County received approximately $9.1 million in FY 2018/19 CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG
funds for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives.
- The County expended $9.55 million on approved projects and programs (expenditures were for
projects funded in previous and current years).
- The County continued to meet HUD's requirements related to spending CDBG and HOME funds in a
timely manner.
- For each dollar of the County federal funds spent for projects that were completed during the year,
$12.45 was leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources.
- Over 35,000 lower income persons/families were served through public service programs.
- 27 lower income people were placed in jobs through Economic Development programs.
- 227 businesses were assisted through Economic Development programs.
- 9 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed.
- 85 rental housing units were rehabilitated for low income households.
- 18 owner-occupied homes were rehabilitated.
- 78 homeowners received foreclosure prevention counseling.
- 665 low income renters received services and/or financial assistance to prevent them from becoming
homeless or to quickly regain housing following an episode of being homeless.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County cannot submit the CAPER without Board approval, which would jeopardize future HUD
funding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The project/programs funded with CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, and NSP funds support one or more
of the following children's outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2) Children and
Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (3) Families that are Economically Self
Sufficient; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and
Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

Table 1 - Accomplishments – Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date
Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,
giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
All of the County's HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 611
(ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) funding sources address the priorities and specific objectives identified in the
FY 2015/2020 Consolidated Plan. All of the funded activities meet at least one of the highest priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan.
The County has made significant progress in meeting the goals and objectives contained in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. During FY 2018/19,
CDBG-funded public service projects provided a wide range of social services to over 35,800 Urban County residents and households, including
the homeless, mentally and physically disabled, seniors, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs populations. Economic
development programs offered training and placement services for 41 lower income persons and assisted with the creation and expansion of
227 microenterprises/small businesses. There were nine Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects completed in FY 2018/19 that created a variety
of infrastructure and accessibility improvements.
Although the County made progress in meeting the annual goals for most objectives, there were some in which the County did not. The reason
for not meeting the annual goal is primarily due to not receiving an application for a specific activity that met that objective for that program
year. However, the County anticipates that there will be activities in the subsequent Consolidated Plan years that will get awarded CDBG, HOME,
ESG, or HOPWA funds that will meet those objectives for the County to meet its 5-year goals. Housing development projects often take multiple
years to be fully funded, constructed and occupied. Therefore, the five-year goals may be met in just one or two years with other years showing
no accomplishments.

Narrative
The Contra Costa County HOME Consortium area is comprised of the unincorporated areas and
incorporated cities/towns of the County. In terms of geographic distribution of investment of HOME
funds, HOME housing activities will go towards all eligible areas of the HOME Consortium area to benefit
low-income households.
Contra Costa County also receives an allocation of CDBG funds from HUD to benefit residents of the
Urban County. The Urban County area is comprised of all the unincorporated areas and incorporated
cities/towns of the County, minus the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek. These
four cities receive their own allocation of CDBG funds from HUD and therefore are not part of the Urban
County area. In terms of specific geographic distribution of investments, infrastructure improvements
and public facilities were focused primarily in areas with concentrations of low- to moderate-income
populations within the Urban County area. Investments in CDBG housing activities occur in any Urban
County area.
Contra Costa County also receives an allocation of ESG funds from HUD. The ESG area for the County is DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 614
the Urban County area (similar to the County's CDBG Urban County area explained above). In terms of
geographic investment of ESG funds, ESG funds were distributed throughout the Urban County to
provide assistance to the homeless population or those at risk of becoming homeless who are within the
Urban County area of Contra Costa County.
Contra Costa County is also a sub-grantee to the City of Oakland (Alameda County) for the HOPWA
program. Contra Costa County’s HOPWA area is the entire County unincorporated areas and
incorporated cities/towns of the County.
Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
For each dollar spent in County federal funds for projects that were completed during the
program year, $12.45 was leveraged in other federal, State, local, and private resources. The
100 percent ESG matching requirements were met through other federal (non-ESG), State,
local, and private resources. The 25 percent HOME Program match requirement was exceeded
through non-federal resources and the excess will be carried over for the next federal fiscal
year.

Table 10 – Relocation and Real Property Acquisition
Narrative
In Fiscal Year 2018/19, there were three residential projects that involved the temporary relocation of
tenants and one nonprofit organization. All three projects received HOME funds and the data in the
tables above reflects all projects. Below is specific information about each of the projects:
The Carena project includes three separate sites: Camara Circle Apartments in Concord, Elaine Null
Apartments in Bay Point, and Riley Court Aparatments in Concord. Carena received CDBG and HOME
funds for the rehabilitation of residential units at Riley Court and Elain Null apartments totaling ___
units. The funds were used for acquisition, closing costs, soft costs, and construction. In this fiscal year,
___ households were temporarily relocated with a cost of $ _____ for relocation activities. All occupied
units were properly noticed and provided temporary relocation assistance as necessary. The
rehabilitation of units at Elaine Null is complete and rehabilitation of units at Riley Court is substantially
completed.
The Antioch Scattered Sites project includes two separate sites: Pinecrest Apartments and Terrace Glen
Apartments in Antioch. This project received HOME funds for the rehabilitation of nine units on both
sites. The funds were used for acquisition, closing costs, soft costs, and construction. In this fiscal year,
39 households were temporarily relocated with a cost of $492,000 for relocation activities. All occupied
units were properly noticed and provided temporary relocation assistance as necessary. The
rehabilitation of all units in the development is underway and the construction completion date for both
sites is ___ 2019.
The St. Paul’s Commons project is located in the Walnut Creek area and includes the demolition of an
existing building used for homeless day programs and services and the new construction of a new
mixed-use building. The new building includes 45 residential units for families above a public facility DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 618
space that will be used for the homeless services program. The organization that provides homeless
programs and services is temporarily relocated during the demolition and construction activities. A
suitable, nearby location was selected for the temporary relocation. HOME and HOPWA funds will be
used for closing costs and construction, and non-housing CDBG funds for tenant improvements of the
public facility space. In this fiscal year, the cost for the temporary relocation activities was $ 4,618.76.
This project remains under construction with a projected construction completion date of December
2019.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting
these goals.
During fiscal year 2017/18, Contra Costa continued to make progress toward meeting its affordable
housing goals. There are also several developments currently under construction or will be commencing
construction in the coming months. In measuring the County’s accomplishments, it must be noted that
the majority of funded housing projects are complex, involving new construction or acquisition and
rehabilitation of multifamily housing and requiring multiple funding sources. In general, these projects
require two to five years from initial development planning to completion and occupancy. In order to
facilitate the ability of the project sponsor to obtain additional funding from other sources (e.g., LIHTCs
and State programs), the County often commits resources relatively early in the process. Therefore, the
number of units funded and completed with current resources is often less than the number funded and
in development. DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 620
Tabora Gardens closed out during this fiscal year. Construction of Riviera Family, Hana Gardens and
Carena are complete and lease-up and closing activities are in process. Heritage Point and Antioch
Renovations are expected to complete construction in the next quarter. Legal documents are bing
drawn for Chesley Mutual Housing, and Veteran’s Square and Hacienda Apartments are expected to

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The Contra Costa Continuum of Care (CoC) uses a number of strategies to reach out to unsheltered
persons experiencing homelessness and assess their individual needs, including direct outreach and
marketing, the use of phone-based services including 2-1-1, marketing in other languages (e.g., Spanish),
making physical and virtual locations accessible to those with disabilities, and collaborating with local
law enforcement. As a part of the Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System, CORE (Coordinated
Outreach, Referral and Engagement) Teams serve as an entry point into the homeless system of care,
providing both day and evening outreach resources and services to encampments and service sites.
All persons experiencing homelessness receive a VI-SPDAT (Vulnerability Index – Service Prioritization
Decision Assistance Tool) assessment, the common assessment tool being used by the Contra Costa
Coordinated Entry System to prioritize those with the highest levels of chronicity and acuity for available
housing resources and services. Persons are also referred to CARE (Coordinated Assessment Resource)
Centers to access services for basic needs, case management, housing navigation, and health care. All
staff administering assessments are trained to use trauma-informed and culturally linguistic competent
practices, and are knowledgeable about using or accessing auxiliary aids and services for persons with
disabilities.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Crisis services, including emergency shelter and transitional housing, are a critical component of the
Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System. For individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis that
cannot be diverted, CORE Teams and CARE Centers make referrals to nearly 800 emergency shelter and
transitional housing beds throughout Contra Costa County. In keeping with a Housing First approach,
the goal of Contra Costa’s crisis response system is to provide immediate and easy access to safe and
decent shelter to anyone who needs it, with the housing-focused goal of re-housing people as quickly as
possible. Contra Costa CoC has established system-level performance measures for emergency shelter,
including reducing the average length of stay (goal: 50 days); increasing exits to permanent housing
(goal: 30%), and increasing non-returns to homelessness (goal: 75%). The average length in time in
shelter increased to 91 days in 2017. The reason for this increase is due to the County’s CORE Street
Outreach teams increasing access for the most vulnerable, and harder to house population. So,
although the rates of those moving out of emergency shelter increased, it is taking much longer to do
so. Of 119 persons that exited to housing in 2017, 38% exited to permanent housing. Lastly, the non-
return rate for 2017 was 85%. DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 622
County Emergency Shelter Funding: Of the CDBG and ESG funds received by the County for FY 2018/19,
$192,349 (ESG) and $54,000 (CDBG) was awarded to local emergency shelters to provide shelter and
case management services to homeless adults, families and youth and to victims of domestic violence
and their children. Upon entry to one of the shelters, each resident or family is assigned a case manager
to assist the individual in determining an appropriate service plan that will help them regain housing as
soon as possible. The shelters are part of the County’s Continuum of Care of services and enables
individuals and families the opportunity to work on stabilizing their lives and moving toward a
permanent housing solution.
State ESG Funding
State ESG Funding: The State, in consultation with HUD, redesigned its ESG Program prior to the 2016
Program Year. The redesign intended to accomplish the following: align State ESG with local entities'
ESG programs and HUD goals; increase coordination of State ESG investments with local homelessness
systems and investments; invest in the most impactful activities, based on key performance goals and
outcomes; shift from an intensive provider competition, in which local providers competed for State
ESG funds with other local providers and providers throughout the State, to a much more local
competition and where the administration of the program is streamlined; and improve geographic
distribution of funding. Under this program design, the State established a dedicated CoC allocation and
simplified process available to California communities that are able to administer ESG locally. Under this
process, eligible local government entities can act as Administrative Entities (AE) of State ESG funds in
furtherance of these goals. In 2016, HCD began distributing funding to Continuum of Care Service Areas
(or Service Areas) through two allocations: Continuum of Care Allocation for Service Areas that contain
a city or county that receives ESG directly from HUD; and the Balance of State Allocation for Service
Areas that do not contain a city or county that receives ESG directly from HUD. The County's
Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) receives ESG funds directly from HUD to
administer the County's own ESG Program, so it is an eligible local government entity that can act as an
AE of State ESG funds under the State's program. On March 30, 2016, the State approved DCD as an AE
to administer State ESG funds on behalf of the State for the County's CoC Service Area, which includes
all of Contra Costa County, with emphasis toward households/residents of the cities of Antioch,
Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek, as required by the State ESG regulations. The other cities in the
County, including Richmond, are part of the Urban County and are therefore served the County's direct
ESG grant.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 623
The Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System is centralizing prevention/diversion services. Streamlined
and coordinated intake procedures are being used for both phone- and site-based entry points to the
system to identify clients on the brink of homelessness and connect them to prevention and mainstream
services.
Clients are connected to prevention providers (SHELTER Inc., Trinity Center, and County Homeless
Program) via Contra Costa Crisis Center (2-1-1), and work is underway to enhance partnerships with
other providers in the region (Catholic Charities). The Coordinated Entry Prevention/Diversion
Workgroup (newly formed this year) is conducting a gaps analysis of available prevention/diversion
resources, and is piloting new programming to help individuals and families avoid becoming homeless.
Per the Contra Costa CoC 2014 Strategic Plan Update, Contra Costa is expanding landlord liaisons &
developing a housing stability fund to help clients retain housing and avoid eviction. Season of Sharing
provides $900k annually in temporary financial assistance (emergency rent payments, utilities, & other
aids to prevent homelessness) for families in crisis. Discharge planning w/hospitals, mental health,
substance abuse treatment, corrections & foster care systems also help to reduce first time
homelessness.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
SHORTENING LENGTH OF TIME HOMELESS: Contra Costa’s biggest barrier to reducing length of time
homeless is lack of affordable housing stock. The Contra Costa Built for Zero campaign, in partnership
with Multi-faith ACTION Coalition, has improved landlord engagement by identifying landlords willing to
rent to homeless veterans and chronically homeless families. The Contra Costa Coordinated Entry
System uses the VI-SPDAT (which includes length of homelessness as measure of vulnerability), which
supports reducing length of homelessness. 96% of our providers are Housing First, and our CoC-wide
performance measures, tracked in HMIS, include reducing the average length of stay in emergency
shelter for permanent housing exits. Available housing is prioritized for longest term homeless and our
CoC/ESG providers are committed to reducing length of homelessness.
CHRONICALLY HOMELESS: In the 2018 Homeless Point-In-Time (PIT) Count, there were 555 homeless
individuals who were chronically homeless, which was an increase of 68% from the previous year. This
large one-year increase is due to comprehensive PIT data collection. Over the course of the previous
year, the CoC’s outreach team better identified encampments that were captured in the 2018 PIT Count.
The CORE Street Outreach Program also had six teams conducting PIT data collection, in comparison to
two in the previous year. Two-thirds of those chronically homeless were unsheltered the night of the PIT
Count.By removing barriers to entry through Housing First, our permanent housing has increased access DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 624
for chronically homeless individuals and families. The Contra Costa CoC continues to coordinate
resources with the goal of achieving functional zero for the chronically homeless population through
Built for Zero.
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN: Families experiencing a housing crisis who cannot be diverted are connected
to crisis services and assessed using VI-F-SPDAT. Using a Housing First approach, families are connected
to available and appropriate resources, including emergency shelter and warming centers as well as
housing. The VI-SPDAT is used to assess and prioritize families for available permanent supportive
housing and in the next year will be used to prioritize and refer families for Rapid Rehousing. SHELTER,
Inc. is our main RRH provider, assisting families through CoC, ESG, and CalWORKS grants for RRH.
SHELTER, Inc. also maintains a phone line (8,000 calls last year) streamlining linkages to RRH. RRH is a
key strategy to end family homelessness in the Contra Costa CoC 2014 Strategic Plan update.
VETERANS: As a Built for Zero community, a main goal of our CoC is to provide bridges between the
Veteran and homeless systems of care. Built for Zero has improved data sharing between programs to
assess the number of veterans being housed each month in the community. All CoC program-funded
providers, including outreach teams, assess veteran eligibility using a standardized HMIS intake
form. Outreach teams link qualifying clients to veteran service providers. Three providers (SHELTER,
Inc., Berkeley Food & Housing, and the East Bay Community Recovery Project) partner to ensure clients
are able to access SSVF using a Housing First model with full geographic coverage. Veterans service
representatives through the County VA assist clients with any veterans claim to ensure maximum
benefits are awarded.
UNACCOMPANIED YOUTH: Cross organization collaboration also occurs with school districts and County
Department of Education. The Council on Homelessness includes an Educational and Vocational Services
Representative, who serves as our liaison to families in the school system experiencing homelessness,
currently provides technical assistance, professional development and legislation tracking support to 18
districts and works directly with youth in foster care. Contra Costa employs a Homeless Education
Liaison through McKinney-Vento funding, who works to address the educational needs of homeless
children & parents. Representatives from the CoC regularly participate in USD meetings, with CoC-
funded provider SHELTER, Inc. staff serving on the Contra Costa Local Planning Council for Child Care &
Development. These partnerships ensure that homeless families and unaccompanied youth are
connected to the Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System. A youth advisory board is currently under
development to further inform our youth homeless system of care, and we are partnering with the
Department of Education and youth ambassadors to improve the 2018 Point-in-Time Count, to improve
our understanding about unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness in Contra Costa. DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 625
CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) has begun a long-term project to reposition
and rehabilitate its public housing portfolio in the face of ever-decreasing federal, state and local
funding. The initial step in this process is the disposition via RAD of the agency's Las Deltas public
housing property in North Richmond. HACCC has received approval from HUD to move forward with the
RAD conversion of this property. The public housing subsidies received for the 214 units at Las Deltas
will be converted to RAD project-based voucher assistance at eleven new or rehabilitated housing
developments throughout the County. The units at Las Deltas will help produce at least 502 units of new
or rehabilitated affordable housing throughout the County. Of this total, 125 of the units, to date, will
be funded directly with the RAD project-based vouchers received for Las Deltas, 161 will be funded with
"regular" project-based vouchers from the housing authority's existing funding and 216 will be funded
using other affordable housing funds. An additional 89 units are to be committed to other RAD
transactions or replaced through the HUD Demolition and Disposition process that will result in at least
another 89 units of funding for voucher replacement units and likely more units leveraged for further
project-based voucher assistance.
HACCC utilized $2,069,430 of HUD funding for the following improvements:
• $339,349 - Demolition of 6 buildings at the Las Deltas development.
• $157,164 - Relocation costs - RAD
• $454,964 - Security window and door covers for vacant units at the Las Deltas development.
• $488,200 - Repair of 4 fire-damaged units at the Bayo Vista development.
• $305,578 - Tree trimming and removal at 3 developments.
• $34,665 - Computer upgrade
• $259,930 - Replace smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in all units
• $28,980 - Replace refrigerators, ranges and other dwelling equipment.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
HACCC holds quarterly meetings/social events at five public housing properties. Tenants from nearby
properties also attend these events.
HACCC and Contra Costa County libraries partnered and received over 5,000 books for low income
residents in Contra Costa County.
El Pueblo residents’ council worked with the Asset Manager and received funding to purchase school
uniforms for the youth at the development. DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 626
Bayo Vista Development created baseball, football and basketball teams in collaboration with Sheriffs
for the youth.
Back to school gatherings were held at four public housing sites. Backpack and school supplies were
given to school-age children at these properties.
Free lunch programs are operated at Bayo Vista, El Pueblo and Vista Del Camino housing developments.
HACCC participates in the Campaign for Grade Level Reading. HACCC operates small give-away libraries
at four public housing sites and offer children's books to families. Staff have given away over 3,000
children's books this year.
HACCC partnered with Pittsburg Police Department and the Sheriff's Department to provide
Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to residents in the El Pueblo, Bayo Vista and North Richmond
developments.
Bayo Vista held a community mural dedication for a mural created and designed by community youth.
Over 250 community members attended.
As part of the Las Deltas RAD conversion, we are working with a family to see if they are eligible to
purchase the public housing unit in which they live. This option will be explored with other families too.
HACCC partnered with REACH, a local nonprofit that focuses on women returning to society from the
prison system. REACH has offices at Las Deltas to provide counseling and other services.
The HACCC has three public housing properties that provide summer and afterschool programs
targeting 8-16 year-olds. These programs provided youth the opportunity to attend A's game and
experience a boat trip.
Staff is meeting regularly with elderly and disabled residents to better determine their service needs.
The Resident Advisory Board met six times this year to discuss HACCC policies. Their input will be used
to craft the Agency's next Annual Plan.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
The County will continue its efforts to remove or ameliorate public policies which negatively impact
affordable housing development in the County including the following:
• Through the Density Bonus Ordinance, the County is required to grant one density bonus and
incentives or concessions when an applicant for a housing development seeks and agrees to
construct a housing development, excluding any units permitted by the density bonus that will
contain at least one of the following: ten percent of the total units for lower income households;
five percent of the total units for very low income households; a senior citizen housing
development, or a mobile home park that limits residency based on age requirements for
housing older persons; ten percent of the total dwelling units in a common interest
development for persons and families of moderate income, provided that all units in the
development are offered to the public for purchase; ten percent of the total units of a housing
development for transitional foster youth, or homeless persons; or twenty percent of the total
units for lower income students in a student housing development that meets requirements for
persons who are enrolled as full time students, twenty percent of units will be used for lower
income students, the rent provided for the lower income strdents shall be calculated at thirty
percent of sixty five percent of the area median income for single-room occupancy unit type,
and the development will provide a priority for the applicable affordable units for lower income
students experiencing homelessness.
• Through the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the County requires all developers of five or more
residential units to provide 15 percent of the units at affordable costs to moderate, low or very-
low income households depending on the type of project. Developers may pay a fee in lieu of
providing the affordable units if the project is 125 residential units or less.
• Through the Farmworker Housing Ordinance, the County has established requirements and
standards for housing accommodations for five or more farmworkers, and established
ministerial review and discretionary review process for different housing accommodation types.
Housing accommodations for four or fewer farmworkers are not regulated separately by the
County Zoning Code, but must comply with all zoning requirements of the zoning district where
the housing accommodations are located.
• Through the Accessory Dwelling Units Ordinance, the County has authorized accessory dwelling
units, established procedures for reviewing and approving their development to ensure healthy
and safe residential living environments, established location and development standards, and
requires ministerial review of their proposed development.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 628
The County's efforts to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing, and to meet the
objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan, described in the general narrative sections of this report,
are all directed to meeting underserved needs. In addition, the criteria for target population and
alleviation of affordable housing needs employed in the allocation of HOME and CDBG funds for
housing, establish a priority for projects that reserve a portion of the units for extremely-low income
and/or special needs populations.
The following are obstacles to meeting needs of the underserved:
Accessibility to Services: Lack of accessibility to services can be the result of lack of transportation for
those in need, services that are not delivered in a culturally appropriate manner or in the appropriate
language, burdensome prerequisites to accessing services (“red tape”), and services that are not
provided in proximity to those in need. Lack of transportation is a particular challenge for those who do
not drive, do not have a car, or are elderly and for persons with disabilities. Most if not all of the public
service projects listed in AP-38 are located within the neighborhoods or communities of the target
population to provide easy accessibility to their services. Some of the public service projects serving the
elderly or persons with disabilities provide transportation to their services or provide "in-home"
services.
Awareness of Services: The lack of awareness of the availability of services by those in need and a lack of
knowledge about how to access services are significant obstacles to the provision of services. All
agencies receiving CDBG, HOME, ESG, or HOPWA funds from the County must provide significant
outreach to those in need. County DCD staff continues to monitor CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funded
agencies to verify if an agency's outreach is adequate and that outreach materials are available in
various languages.
Coordination of Services: Those in need often access services from several points; similar services may
also be provided by more than one agency. Those being served by one agency may have needs that are
not being addressed by the particular agency currently serving that person or family. County DCD staff
advocates that CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funded agencies collaborate and coordinate with other
agencies in the community or serving their target population. DCD staff continue to encourage agencies
to collaborate and coordinate to avoid duplication and to provide more efficient services to their clients
or target populations.
Resources: Resources are generally less than required to meet the level of need. The
CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funds that are available are prioritized to the high Priority Needs and Goals
established in the 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan. Funding is also prioritized to those undertakings that
represent the most efficient use of funds, are delivered by the most qualified persons, and serve the
broadest area.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 629
The County has incorporated the requirements of the lead-based paint regulations (24 CFR PART 35)
into its affected programs, including the homeowner and rental rehabilitation programs. These
programs developed implementation plans that include procedures to test for lead-based paint,
determine a scope of work to address lead-based paint hazards, ensure qualified contractors are
performing the required work, and obtain a clearance examination at project completion.
Additionally, the County's Neighborhood Preservation Program, a home rehabilitation program,
provides grants to homeowners who have received rehabilitation loans and need to abate lead hazards.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The movement of people to above the poverty line involves a variety of policies and programs that
extend beyond providing opportunities for employment at a living wage. Access to education,
transportation, childcare, and housing are also key components that can assist persons to secure and
retain economically self-sustaining employment. The County employs a variety of strategies to help
alleviate poverty in the Urban County, including efforts to stimulate economic growth and job
opportunities, and to provide Urban County residents with the skills and abilities required to take
advantage of those opportunities.
In FY 2018/19, the CDBG program provided funds for four job training and placement programs:
• Opportunity Junction’s Bay Point Career Development Services program (18-39-ED) and Job
Training and Placement program (18-40-ED) provided personalized vocational training and job
placement for persons to establish careers in information technology.
• New Horizons Career Development Center, Inc.’s Education, Job Training, Life Skills, and Job
Placement Services program (18-08-PS) provided ongoing job training, job placement, life skills
training, and GED preparatory training.
• Open Opportunities’ Future Build Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program (18-38-ED) provided job
training and job placement services in the construction trades.
• Multicultural Institute’s Lifeskills/Day Labor Program (18-37-ED) provided job-matching,
individualized assistance with health, legal and educational needs.
In FY 2018/19, the CDBG program provided funds for a number of programs that do not aid in
employment, but are crucial to the reduction of poverty:
• Bay Area Legal Aid's Tenant Landlord Housing Services Collaboration program (18-01-PS)
provided counseling and legal services to County tenants on their housing rights.
• Community Housing Development Corporation's Home Equity Preservation Alliance (18-02-PS)
program provided education, counseling, and case management regarding foreclosures.
• CocoKids Road to Success program (18-36-ED) provides microenterprise assistance to low-

DCD continues to provide technical assistance to non-profits to build capacity and assist in the
development of programs and projects designed to meet the County’s Consolidated Plan objectives
through individual meetings and workshops held during the program year. Further, the Department
works with non-profits to achieve designation as a Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO) and/or Community Based Development Organization (CBDO) for purposes of participating in the
Consortium HOME and County CDBG affordable housing programs.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County’s efforts to coordinate activities and strategies for affordable housing development and the
provision of emergency and transitional housing and supportive services included cooperative planning
efforts as well as participation in a number of countywide housing and service provider organizations.
Planning efforts undertaken during the FY 2018/19 included the following:
• Contra Costa Consortium members continued to work on strategies and actions designed to
overcome identified impediments and eliminate problems of housing discrimination in Contra
Costa.
• The Continuum of Care and the Council on Homelessness worked with Contra Costa
jurisdictions, public and private agencies, the interfaith community, homeless advocacy groups
and other community organizations to implement the Continuum of Care Plan, which includes
strategies and programs designed to alleviate homelessness, and the Ten Year Plan to End
Homelessness.
• In addition to the above, the County participated in a number of countywide housing and
service provider organizations, which are intended to share resources and coordinate strategies
and programs for affordable housing and community development activities.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
Urban County staff, along with staff from the other Contra Costa CDBG entitlement jurisdictions
(Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek), worked together to prepare the Contra Costa
Consortium Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). This document outlines and identifies
barriers to fair housing and presents a plan to properly navigate them. An update of the AI was
completed and approved by each Contra Costa CDBG entitlement jurisdiction on June 11, 2019 for the DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 631
period of 2020-2025. The AI is available on the County website at
https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/7196/2020-2025-Analysis-of-ImpedimentsAssessm.
To address impediments identified in the study, the Update to the AI offers a set of recommendations
for consideration. Below are the following in which the County has taken action to fulfill the
recommendations.
Recommendation # 1: Increase Public Awareness of Fair Housing Rights – The County and the
Consortium cities continue to provide CDBG support to agencies to provide Fair Housing consulting
services. Fair housing service providers and their partner agencies continue to expand outreach to the
community regarding fair housing rights. Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) is one example
of a service provider that conducted fair housing trainings and outreach at 16 non-profit agencies
throughout the County. This outreach was focused on low-income communities and described their
services and contact information. Many of these communities contain a significant number of Spanish-
speaking and other non-English speaking residents.
Recommendation # 2: Improve Financial Assistance for Housing – The County and cities continue to
collaborate to expand affordable housing in communities where such opportunities are limited. The
County and many of the Consortium cities have continued to allocate resources to encourage and
facilitate the development of affordable housing throughout the entire Consortium, resulting in the
development of new affordable housing. Additionally, provisions were made for a single-family
rehabilitation program, first-time homebuyer programs, and fair housing counseling, legal service and
outreach. In addition, the County continues to provide CDBG financial support for tenant/landlord
services for low-income residents of the County. Lastly, the County’s Mortgage Credit Certificate
program reserves 40 percent of its allocation for households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the
area median income. Lenders have cooperated with the program, and 10 Mortgage Credit Certificates
were provided to low-income households.
Recommendation # 3: Review Home Purchase Loan Denial Figures with Local Lenders – The County and
the Consortium cities have incorporated in the CDBG contracts with their respective Fair Housing
consulting agencies a review and monitoring of HMDA data in regard to loan denial rates among
racial/ethnic minorities. The agencies will provide an update of their reviews of this information in
quarterly reports and in quarterly meetings with the County and Consortium cities.
Recommendation # 4: Increase Access to Special Needs Housing – The County and the Consortium
cities will inform its Fair Housing services providers to incorporate education and information to tenant,
owners, and agents of rental properties about the necessity to provide equal access to housing to
special needs populations.
Recommendation #5: Review Municipalities Planning Code and Offer Incentives - This
recommendation is a long-term goal and the County will begin developing steps to implement this
recommendation. However, the County has continued its efforts to remove or ameliorate public DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 632
policies within County code that negatively impact affordable housing development in the County
including the following: Through the Density Bonus Ordinance, the County is required to grant one
density bonus and incentives or concessions when an applicant for a housing development seeks and
agrees to construct a housing development, excluding any units permitted by the density bonus that will
contain at least one of the following: ten percent of the for lower income households; five percent of
the total units for very low income households; a senior citizen housing development, or a mobile home
park that limits residency based on age requirements for housing older persons; or ten percent of the
total dwelling units in a common interest development for persons and families of moderate income,
provided that all units in the development are offered to the public for purchase. The Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance requires all developers of five or more units to provide 15 percent of the units at
affordable costs to moderate, low or very-low income households depending on the type of project.
Developers may pay a fee in lieu of providing the affordable units. The County will review and develop
new regulations to permit the development of agriculturally related structures on agriculturally zoned
land without a use permit in order to encourage the provision of onsite farmworker housing. DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 633
CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
The County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is responsible for administration of
the following federally funded programs: CDBG, HOME, NSP, ESG and HOPWA. All projects funded
through these programs are monitored by DCD to ensure that the projects achieve their approved
objectives in a manner consistent with federal regulations, the Consolidated Plan, and other local
planning requirements. DCD's monitoring process consists of the following:
• Prior to funding consideration, all project applications are reviewed to ensure consistency with
federal regulations, Board of Supervisor policy, the Consolidated Plan, the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (if applicable) and the County Housing Element (if
applicable).
• All project sponsors receiving an allocation of CDBG, HOME, NSP, HOPWA and/or ESG funds are
required to enter into Project Agreements which specify project objectives, scope of work,
eligible activities, performance targets, project budget, implementation time frame, federal
regulatory requirements, and monitoring and reporting requirements.
• During project implementation, project sponsors are required to submit periodic progress
reports detailing project progress, significant problems encountered (and their resolution),
project funding and expenditures, affirmative marketing activity and quantitative participation
data that illustrates findings on the amount of outreach to women and minority-owned
businesses. In addition, projects are monitored as applicable for compliance with federal
accounting and procurement standards, labor and construction standards, relocation,
affirmative marketing, equal opportunity, fair housing, and other federal requirements.
• Following project completion, project sponsors are required to submit Project Completion
Reports identifying: project accomplishments; population served, including data on household
characteristics (e.g., income, ethnicity); rent and/or housing affordability; and total sources and
uses of funds.
Affordable housing development projects (e.g., acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction) must also
submit annual compliance reports designed to ensure continued compliance with federal regulations,
affordability and use restrictions, and other requirements as specified in the project loan documents. In
addition, all HOME-assisted projects are subject to periodic onsite inspections to ensure continued
compliance with local housing code.
DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 634
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to
comment on performance reports.
Contra Costa County set a minimum 15-day comment period for citizen participation and to receive
comments on the CAPER. Notices announcing the public hearing date to consider acceptance of the
CAPER are posted in local newspapers, as well as the County website at least 15 days prior to the public
hearing date. A notice announcing the draft of the CAPER and the public hearing date for the CAPER
was published on the County website and in the Contra Costa Times on September 8, 2019. The
County’s Board of Supervisors accepted the FY 2018/19 CAPER at its September 24, 2019
meeting. There were no public comments received prior to or at the September 24, 2019 Board of
Supervisors meeting. The draft CAPER was made available for review at the County’s Department of
Conservation and Development office, and on the following
website: https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/4823/Community-Development-Block-Grant. DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 635
CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives
and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its
experiences.
The County does not anticipate changing any of its program objectives. However, it does anticipate an
increase in the number of people served by the County's activities due to the City of Richmond
becoming part of the County's CDBG Urban County area beginning in FY 2016/17.

CR-50 - HOME 91.520(d)
Include the results of on-site inspections of affordable rental housing assisted under the
program to determine compliance with housing codes and other applicable regulations
Please list those projects that should have been inspected on-site this program year based upon
the schedule in §92.504(d). Indicate which of these were inspected and a summary of issues
that were detected during the inspection. For those that were not inspected, please indicate
the reason and how you will remedy the situation.
Effective January 24, 2015, participating jurisdictions are now required to inspect rental projects funded
with HOME funds at least once every three years during the required period of affordability. DCD
staff monitors units in one of the three regions of the County (East, Central and West) each year. Staff
inspects 15 percent of the HOME-assisted units for each monitored project. Copies of the inspection
reports are maintained at the DCD offices.
During FY 2018/19, the County performed on-site inspections of 54 HOME-assisted units located in
Central Contra Costa County. Concurrent with the on-site physical inspections, DCD staff inspects tenant
files to ensure the management company complies with the HOME program and local County
requirements. The review includes income certifications, rent and utility allowance calculations, and
appropriate tenant lease provisions, as well as the annual project audit and operating budget. For all
projects with failed units, the County works with the owner and property management company to
bring the unit in compliance within 30 days. The following table summarizes the on-site physical
inspections completed during the fiscal year:

Provide an assessment of the jurisdiction's affirmative marketing actions for HOME units.
92.351(b)
The objective of affirmative marketing is to promote equal access to housing by all groups within the
market area. The County has adopted the following policies and measures:
Information concerning the availability of funding, housing opportunities, and fair housing and
affirmative marketing requirements will be distributed to the general public; all jurisdictions and housing
agencies located in the County; property owners and developers of affordable housing; and minority
and public interest groups.
Notices of funds available are posted on the County website at http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/CDBG
Informational material describing the HOME, CDBG, NSP, HOPWA and ESG Programs is available at
http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/aff-hsg-dev (for developers)
http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/affordablehousing (for consumers).
The County will maintain records concerning the above activities, including copies of press releases,
affirmative marketing materials distributed, and workshops and meetings held with the above groups
and organizations.
The County requires owners of federally assisted housing to comply with federal fair housing law and
employ the following affirmative marketing activities:
• Advertise the availability of assisted units in local newspapers and newsletters, such as those
published by minority groups, neighborhood churches, public service organizations, etc.; and on
bulletin boards in community gathering spots (e.g. community center, church, supermarket,
laundromat, fair housing/housing counseling agency, and employment offices).
• Contact appropriate community organizations and representatives of minority and other
disadvantaged groups to solicit tenants and provide information about the availability of the
assisted units.
• Display the Equal Housing Opportunity logo at the project location and in all advertisements
pertaining to assisted units.
Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects,
including the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics
The amount of HOME program income (PI) received in FY 2018/19 was $307,660. The amount of HOME
PI used on projects during FY 2018/19 was $1,018,129, which includes PI from previous years. The
unexpended PI funds will be allocated to a housing development during the FY 2020/21 Action Plan
cycle. With the new HUD procedures, the County will start allocating PI to specific projects. DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 639
Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. 91.220(k) (STATES
ONLY: Including the coordination of LIHTC with the development of affordable housing)
91.320(j)
Market factors such as the high cost of land suitable for residential development and high construction
costs continue to be significant constraints on the development of affordable housing in Contra
Costa. In addition, the elimination of redevelopment agencies has made it much more difficult to obtain
funding for affordable housing development. The County attempts to counter these factors with
strategies and subsidy programs to develop affordable rental housing and homeownership
opportunities. Actions undertaken by the County to decrease development costs and eliminate barriers
to affordable housing include the following:
• The County adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance which requires developers to provide 15
percent of the units as affordable to moderate, low, or very-low income households.
• The County has a density bonus ordinance to permit increased densities for housing
developments that include units affordable to low-income households.

DRAFTSeptember 24, 2019 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 679
RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to make a deduction from special tax proceeds at the rate of $0.09 per
special assessment and credit that amount to the Assessor's account 1600-9607, pursuant to Board
Resolution No. 84/332.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action would allow the County to recover costs incurred in collecting special taxes on behalf of local
agencies.
BACKGROUND:
The Assessor has developed and attempted to maintain parcel use codes for the internal use of this office
and is not required to maintain such codes for other purposes. Local agencies imposing special taxes have
made use of the parcel use codes in collecting special taxes. Government Code Sections 50077 (b) and
53978 (d) authorize the County to deduct from special tax proceeds its reasonable costs incurred in
collecting special taxes on behalf of local agencies.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Denial of this action would prevent the County from recovering its costs incurred in collecting special taxes
on behalf of local agencies.
