Subject:HEARING to consider reversion to acreage of real property within subdivision SD04-08820, El Sobrante area.
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
5. ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/596, approving the final map of the reversion of the subdivided real
property.
6. AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Separate Statement of Consent to
Preparation and Recording of Reversion Map ("Separate Statement"), attached hereto.
7. DIRECT the Conservation and Development Director or his designee to file a Notice of Exemption
with the County Clerk, and DIRECT the Public Works Director or his designee to arrange for payment
of the $50 filing fee to the County Clerk.
8. DIRECT the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for the Separate Statement to be recorded
concurrently with the final reversion map, pursuant to County Ordinance Code section 924-2.010,
subdivision (b).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff costs associated with the reversion will be funded by available revenues from a cash security
deposit and fees paid by the owner.
BACKGROUND:
On December 18, 2007, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2007/737, approving a final map and
subdivision agreement for subdivision SD04-08820, a 5-lot subdivision located on Luise Lane at Hilltop
Drive in the unincorporated El Sobrante area. The subdivider and owner of the subdivision property is
Geoghegan Homes, Incorporated. The Subdivision Agreement required the installation of road, drainage
and other subdivision improvements within two years (i.e., by December 4, 2009). That deadline was
extended five times, ultimately to April 20, 2019. None of the subdivision improvements were installed.
The owner of the subdivision property has petitioned to revert the real property within the subdivision to
acreage rather than renew the Subdivision Agreement again, and submitted a final reversion map,
entitled “Reversion to Acreage Lots 1 to 5 Inclusive of Subdivision 8820.” Staff has reviewed the map
and found it to conform to the applicable legal requirements.
Under Section 924-2.008 of the County Ordinance Code, the Board must conduct a noticed public
hearing on a proposed reversion to acreage and may approve a reversion if it makes certain findings
specified in Government Code section 66499.16 and includes, as conditions of reversion, the conditions
specified in Government Code section 66499.17. If the Board approves a reversion map, the map must
be recorded along with a statement signed by owners of record title interests in the subdivision property
that they consented to the preparation and recording of the map. As the owner of record title interests in
the subdivision property, the County is among the required signatories.
FINDINGS
Government Code section 66499.16 provides that subdivided real property may be reverted to acreage
only if the Board finds that:
a. Dedications of offers of dedication to be vacated or abandoned by the reversion to acreage are
unnecessary for present or prospective public purposes; and
b. Either:
1. All owners of an interest in the real property within the subdivision have consented to
reversion; or
2. None of the improvements required to be made have been made within two years from the
date the final or parcel map was filed for record, or within the time allowed by agreement for
completion of the improvements; whichever is later; or
3. No lots shown on the final map or parcel map have been sold within five years from the
date such map was filed for record.
As set forth below, the facts in this case support findings (a), (b)(2), and (b)(3).
Facts Supporting Finding (a): The recorded final map of subdivision SD04-08820 shows an area
dedicated to the County for roadway purposes and the dedication of an area to the East Bay Municipal
Utility District for the purpose of constructing, replacing, maintaining, operating and using a water line.
The map also shows offers of dedication of areas designated as a public utility easement, sanitary sewer
easement and sight distance easement, and a “restricted development area” – a structure setback area
adjacent to a creek on the subdivision property, the development rights to which were conveyed by grant
deed to the County as a condition of approval of the subdivision. All of the above areas were required to
serve the subdivision, but following reversion, will not be necessary for present or prospective public
purposes. For this reason, they are not shown on the reversion map. As noted on the map, these offers of
dedication will be terminated and the restricted development area abandoned upon the filing of the map.
Facts Supporting Finding (b)(2): None of the improvements required by the Subdivision
Agreement for subdivision SD04-08820 have been installed.
Facts Supporting Finding (b)(3): No lots shown on the final map for subdivision SD04-08820 have
been sold within five years from the date the final map was filed for record.
CONDITIONS OF REVERSION
Section 66499.17 of the Government Code provides that as conditions of reversion the Board shall
require the following:
a. Dedications or offers of dedication necessary for the purposes specified by local ordinance
following reversion.
b. Retention of all previously paid fees if necessary to accomplish the purposes of this division or
local ordinance adopted pursuant thereto.
c. Retention of any portion of required improvement security or deposits if necessary to
accomplish the purposes of this division or local ordinance adopted pursuant thereto.
The County obtained a drainage easement on the subdivision property in 2001, prior to subdivision
SD04-08820. This easement is necessary to serve the property after the reversion to acreage, and is
shown on the reversion map. The preservation of this preexisting easement is considered a condition of
this reversion. No new dedications or offers of dedication are necessary for the purposes specified by
local ordinance following reversion of this subdivided property.
However, all previously paid fees, including a reversion application fee paid by the owner, and a cash
deposit to secure construction of the subdivision improvements, are necessary to accomplish the
purposes of the Subdivision Map Act and Title 9 of the County Ordinance Code, in that the funds are
needed to pay for costs associated with this reversion.
By approving Recommendation #4 above, the Board requires preservation of the preexisting easement,
By approving Recommendation #4 above, the Board requires preservation of the preexisting easement,
and retention of the above-described funds, as conditions of this reversion.
SEPARATE STATEMENT
When a reversion is initiated by petition, Ordinance Code section 924-2.010, subdivision (b), requires
the reversion map to be recorded concurrently with a separate statement that all owners of record title
interests consented to the preparation and recording of the map. As the owner of development rights and
a drainage easement on the subdivision property, the County is among the owners who will need to sign
the separate statement before the map can be recorded. A copy of the separate statement is attached. The
recommended actions include the execution of this separate statement by the Board Chair on behalf of
the County.
CEQA EXEMPTION
The general rule is that an activity is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) if it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a
significant effect on the environment. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15061, subd. (b)(3).) It can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that this reversion may have a significant effect on the
environment because there will be no physical changes to the property as a result of the reversion. The
reversion replaces a five-lot map with a new one-lot map.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The reversion map will not be recorded, and the five parcels created with the recording of the final map
in 2007 would remain in existence. The subdivider would remain obligated under the Subdivision
Agreement to install the required road and drainage improvements.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
In 1988, CCAS created the ABF. The purpose of the ABF was originally to allow the Animal Services
Department to receive donations from individuals, animal welfare organizations and businesses, to
support animal health and welfare projects that are not funded by departmental or general County
revenue. Since the creation of the ABF, monetary contributions and donations for services and supplies
for animal welfare have provided for unfunded needs of the animals impounded at the Martinez and
Pinole animal shelters. These donations have come in the form of grants or “soft ask” gifts over the
counter or from our website. These funds are used to enhance the care and well being of the animals in
our shelters and to support residents with animals in our County by providing humane programs around
animal welfare.

Introduction
Welcome to the 2019 Animal Benefit Fund report.
•Established in 1988
•Funds used to enhance the care and well being
of the animals in our shelters and to support the
residents with animals in our County by providing
humane programs around animal welfare.
•Highlighted throughout this report are programs
made possible by the generous donors who have
supported the Animal Benefit Fund.
•Behind every number is a story. A story of an animal or
family that has touched us, inspired us and spurred us
to action.
Spay and Neuter Program
Problem –Low Cost or Free S/N services
in Contra Costa County are sparse and
not easily accessible.
$100,000 was used in FY18/19 to
increase opportunities for low cost or free
spay and neuter services in Contra Costa
County.
Partnered with non profits such as Fix Our
Ferals, Contra Costa Humane, Paw Fund
and Pawsitively Safe.
Results:
1008 Spay/Neuter Surgeries
621 Vaccinations, Flea and Deworming
Treatments
361 Microchips implanted.
Pet Retention/Shelter Intervention Program
Problem: Contra Costa County Shelters are
over crowded and residents who are
considering surrendering their pets are often
just looking for education and support to keep
their pets.
Collaboration works! CCAS has worked with
our County’s largest nonprofit animal welfare
group, the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) to
provide resources to our community to help
keep animals in their homes.
$22,265 was used in FY18/19 to help keep
animals in their homes.
Results:
600 plus requests were received for assistance
200 plus animals were kept in-homes or re-
homes without entering the shelter
Shelter Intervention example: San San
Animals entering any shelter are often
subjected to stress.
San San’s family needed to move and
they could not take her with them. They
knew that going to a shelter would be
hard and scary for her.
The CCAS team worked with her family
and coordinated with a rescue so that the
day she came to the shelter, she left right
away with a new foster family through
the rescue.
San San has since found a loving home!
Collaboration made a difference for San
San and helped to reduce the potential
for over crowding of dogs at the shelter.
Transfer Partner Assistance (Bridge Program)
The Bridge Program was developed to
support local rescue groups, our transfer
partners to help more animals with medical
conditions by providing financial assistance
for them to treat animals at local vets.
December 2018 –an assessment of the
program was completed. Findings showed:
•the majority of funding requested by
the groups was being used for Spay
and Neuter surgeries,
•the number of medical animals being
rescued had not increased and
•local vets were hesitant to
participate due to hurdles in County
processes and their need to get paid
at time of service.
Program discontinued 12/31/18, remaining
funds re-allocated to our Panda’s Gift
Program.

General Programs (Shelter Enrichment)
The dog housing in our shelters is almost always over crowded with dogs needing our help and support. The CCAS
team is constantly exploring ways to reduce the number of dogs being brought into the shelter, ways to help our
shelter dogs move through our care faster and ways to help them cope with the stresses of being in an overcrowded
situation.
In FY 17/18, we developed a pilot program for Shelter Enrichment to help meet the emotional needs of our shelter
dogs. In FY18/19, we implemented a full scale program and the cost of $226,105 was absorbed by the ABF. Those
funds helped to provide 12,014 “Out of Kennel” Enrichment Sessions and 15,073 “In Kennel” Enrichment Sessions. The
program has helped us to identify the importance of enrichment for the mental health of our shelters dogs and will
become part of the long term culture of animal care at CCAS.
Shelter Enrichment (cont’d)
This beautiful girl is Wanda. She is
representative of probably 60% of the
dogs that come into our care. A stray,
large breed dog that does not
generally do well in a shelter. Wanda
was initially described as a nervous,
timid dog who was highly reactive to
the dogs in the kennels around her. She
was a dog with a lot of potential but
was not thriving in our environment.
All of these actions helped Wanda stay “happy” in her kennel and
allowed her time to find her forever family. She has since been adopted,
is now named “Rachel” and is reported to be doing fabulous. She enjoys
her new home and her daily walks in the Presidio.
The team utilized a range of
measures to reduce her stress and
improve her confidence. Some of
the things that were done were to
create visual barriers between her
and other dogs, provide her the
opportunities for positive
interactions with other dogs and
ensuring that she had “in and out of
kennel” enrichment activities.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
It is our pleasure to present Contra Costa Animal Services’
(CCAS) annual report for the Animal Benefit Fund (ABF). This
report highlights the progress we’ve made in strengthening
and modernizing our ability to place and care for animals
in our shelters, driven by the generous contributions of
individuals, organizations and corporations in Contra Costa
County and beyond.
The Animal Benefit Fund was established by the Contra
Costa Board of Supervisors in 1988 as a way to accept
monetary donations from compassionate individuals who
want to help our shelter animals. All funds are used to
enhance the care and well-being of animals in our shelters
and to enhance programs of humane welfare and education
for the residents of Contra Costa County.
In FY 18/19, ABF funds were allocated to a range of
projects and initiatives geared towards enhancing the care
and enrichment of our animals, as well as supporting pet
owners in Contra Costa County. Propelled by the collective
generosity of over 3,000 donors who contributed just under
$108,000, CCAS was able to make significant improvements
in the areas of shelter enrichment, treatment and support
for animals.
Over the last year, the Animal Benefit Fund has allowed CCAS
to put ideas into action, the results of which are highlighted
throughout this report. To our donors, we say, “Thank You”
for believing in us and for providing us the tools necessary
to impact and save even more lives.
Behind every number is a story. This report highlights a
few of those that touched and inspired us, and spurred
us to action. For that, our thanks go to the community,
adopters, transfer partners, staff and volunteers who either
contributed to the fund, adopted an animal into their home
or organization, or who gave their time or talent to ensure
the best outcomes possible for the animals in our care. The
heart-warming results you will read about in this report are a
testament to the spirit of compassion, innovation and hard
work exhibited by CCAS in the last fiscal year.

Costa Humane Society, Paw Fund and Positively SAFE, the fund
provided over 1,000 low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and
cats that may not have otherwise been altered. In addition to the spay
and neuter services provided through this fund, animals that were
altered also received microchips, vaccines, and treatments such as
flea and deworming medications.

The CCAS/ARF Pet Retention Program has become an overwhelming success in keeping animals out
of Contra Costa County shelters. Through this collaborative program we were able to help over 200
pet owners keep or re-home their pets in the last fiscal year. In FY 18/19, $22,265 in Animal Benefit
Funds were utilized by this program to provide support for the 600+ pet owners who requested
assistance. Equally important, in FY 18/19 we were able to identify common themes that lead people
to surrender their pets, allowing us to bolster our existing resources in those areas and seek new
resources to address issues. Beyond the statistical successes enjoyed by the program, the real
measure of success can be found in the stories, photos and thank you cards we receive from people
whom we’ve helped keep their pet in their family.

a suitable placement for San San and keep her
out of the shelter. She has since found a loving
home and has never had to step foot into a
shelter.

The CCAS Bridge Program served as a mechanism to assist our transfer partners in adopting more animals,
particularly those with medical issues. In FY18/19, over $11,000 in Bridge Program funds were utilized in
assisting transfer partners in adopting special needs animals from the Martinez and Pinole shelters. In
December of 2018, with input from our Transfer Partners, CCAS made the strategic decision to discontinue
the Bridge Program in FY18/19 and re-allocate the remaining funds to Medical Assistance (Panda’s Gift
Program). This decision streamlined the process to more effectively help our partners in alleviating the
costs of medical and other services they incur as a result of pulling special needs animals from our shelters.

The Panda’s Gift Program was created to provide medical services to animals in need that have conditions
beyond CCAS’ ability to treat. IIn FY 18/19, $9,799 in Animal Benefit Funding was utilized for medical assistance.
The funding allowed CCAS to provide animals with acute medical conditions the urgent medical care they
needed. From providing urgent care to animals with severe trauma to performing complicated surgeries to
save the lives of animals in the hopes they will find their forever homes, the Panda Fund has made a huge
difference in CCAS’ ability to care for animals with severe trauma and conditions.

Over the last fiscal year, the Animal Benefit Fund supported an array of projects that sought to educate
and increase awareness about important animal welfare issues, such as the benefits of adoption and the
importance of pet licensing. Projects funded by the Education & Awareness Fund in FY 18/19 include: the 2019
CCAS Licensing & Microchip Awareness campaign, social media campaigns targeted towards underserved
communities, radio PSAs and the implementation of new, educational signage at the Martinez shelter. ABF
funds have allowed CCAS to take our marketing and public education game to the next level and ensure the
community is aware and engaged in our work.

This beautiful girl is Wanda,
who came to CCAS in April of
2018 and was described as
nervous, timid and highly dog
reactive. Wanda was a dog
with a lot of potential, she just
needed to work on building her
confidence and being more at
ease around other dogs. She
quickly became a project of
our enrichment team due to
these issues and the potential
she showed. To help Wanda
succeed, our team utilized a
range of measures to reduce
her stress and improve her
confidence, including visual
barriers to cover the other
dog kennels to help alleviate
her stress, working on human
and dog interactions, muzzle
training and providing her with
in-kennel enrichment activities
to keep her sane in the kennel.
Over time, Wanda’s behavior
steadily improved and she
was ultimately adopted by her
soulmate, a woman who was
familiar with the breed and all
of Wanda’s quirks. We were so
excited to receive an update
from Wanda’s adopter who
reports that Wanda, now named
“Rachel,” is doing fabulous and
that she enjoys her home and
her daily walks in the Presidio.

12,014 In FY 18/19, CCAS added the Shelter Enrichment component to the ABF which has allowed CCAS
to take our animal enrichment efforts to the next level. While CCAS enjoys a 92% live release rate
for dogs, many of these dogs can be housed at our shelters in excess of 60 days. Providing a robust
enrichment program to alleviate the daily stresses dogs experience while in the shelter was a top
priority, and the Shelter Enrichment component of the ABF helped us achieve that goal. From in-
kennel enrichment, walks and activities, to trainings, evaluations and timid dog management, the
ABF funds utilized for animal enrichment made a significant impact in maintaining or improving the
behavior levels of CCAS dogs during their time in our shelters.

Contra Costa Animal Services sends a heartfelt thank you to the generous individuals, organizations,
and corporations who have given to the Animal Benefit Fund this year. Your contributions have
supported CCAS in providing better care and enrichment for our animals, increasing public services
to assist pet owners and community partners and improving live outcomes at our shelters. CCAS
is grateful for each and every contribution, funding that has allowed us to save and transform lives
in ways we could have never imagined. We simply could not do this without you!

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT report from the County Administrator on the appointment process of a new Clerk-Recorder, and
provide staff direction as to what actions the Board wishes to take in this regard.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. This is an informational report and has no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Clerk-Recorder, Joseph Canciamilla, has announced his retirement as of October 31, 2019. State law
provides for the Board of Supervisors to appoint an individual for the remainder of his term that will expire
January 2, 2023. The minimum qualifications are that the person must be 18 years of age, a citizen of
California, and a resident and registered voter of this County upon appointment.
In 2012 when Steve Weir announced he was retiring in the middle of his term, the Board adopted a
transparent, open process that resulted in Joseph Canciamilla’s appointment as Steve Weir’s replacement.
Specifically, the Board authorized the County Administrator to accept applications for the position and
open the application period for a specific period of time. Following the close of the application process, and
in open session, the Board reviewed all applications and selected two individuals to be interviewed.

Subject:Amendment to Agreement with California Dept. of Water Resources and American Rivers, Inc., for Three Creeks
Restoration Project. Project #7521-6D8176
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
American Rivers and the Flood Control District are the sponsor and cosponsor, respectively, of the
Project.
On June 12, 2018, the Board also approved and authorized execution of Amendment 1 that extended the
term of the Agreement. The amended Agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2020, unless amended.
Amendment 2 would amend the Agreement to extend the term to March 30, 2021. Amendment 2 would
also revise the Project work schedule. The amended Project schedule required earthwork and planting to
be completed in 2019. Because the Project design phase has taken longer than originally anticipated,
those deadlines could not be met. Amendment 2 would require earthwork to be completed in the third
quarter of 2020, and planting by March 30, 2021. The Project is currently planned to start construction in
the second quarter of 2020 and is expected to meet those deadlines. Costs of work completed after
March 30, 2021, would not be eligible for reimbursement with grant funding. Amendment 2 would also
fix June 30, 2021, as the deadline for seeking disbursement of grant monies.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Board Order is not approved, DWR will cease providing grant funding for the Project under the
Agreement, effective June 30, 2020.
ATTACHMENTS
Amendment 2
RECOMMENDATION(S):
As the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood
Control District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute the third
amendment to the drainage fee collection, right of way, and maintenance agreement, with the City of
Brentwood (City), effective November 5, 2019, related to Drainage Areas (DAs) 104, 105, 106, 109, and
130 in the Brentwood area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Amendment 3 to the DA Fee Collection Agreement replaces DAs 104, 105, and 106 with DA 130, and DA
109 is being added. There are no fiscal impacts identified as part of Amendment 3.
BACKGROUND:
On April 14, 1992, the Board approved an agreement between the Flood Control District and the City for
the collection of drainage fees on behalf of the Flood Control District. The drainage area agreement also
identified drainage facility ownership and specified maintenance responsibilities.
In 1994, the Flood Control District’s Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 94/634 to establish DA
109, and it adopted Ordinance 94/75 establishing fees for DA 109. Lands within the City are within DA

County
Subject:Amendment 3 to Agreement with City of Brentwood, for Drainage Area Fee Collection. Project No. 7562-6D8749
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
109. On September 11, 2007, the Flood Control District’s Board of Directors adopted Resolution No.
2007/493 ordering the establishment of DA 130, which replaced DAs 104, 105, and 106 within the City.
However, the drainage area agreement between the Flood Control District and the City was not
previously amended to incorporate the addition of DA 109 or to reflect that DA 130 replaced DAs 104,
105, and 106.
Since DA 109 and 130 were formed, the City has been collecting drainage area fees within those
drainage areas and transmitting those fees to the Flood Control District in accordance with the terms of
the drainage area agreement. This third amendment to the drainage area agreement with the City will
ratify those fee collection activities, add DA 109 to the agreement and reflect that DA 130 replaced DAs
104, 105, and 106. All other terms of the drainage area agreement, as previously amended, will remain
unchanged.
Staff recommends approving this amendment to ensure that drainage area fees are correctly imposed and
collected within the appropriate drainage areas in the City.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If Amendment 3 is not approved and executed, the City will no longer collect DA 130 and 109 fees on
behalf of the Flood Control District.

Amendment 3
RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to negotiate a long-term ground lease and
development terms between the County, as Landlord, and Mark Scott Construction, Inc., as the developer,
for approximately 3 acres of land at the north corner of Falcon Way and Eagle Court at the Byron Airport.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no negative impact on the General Fund. The Airport Enterprise Fund could realize lease and other
revenues. The County General Fund could realize sales tax and other revenues if a lease is successfully
negotiated
BACKGROUND:
The development site is approximately 3-acres of vacant land owned by the County and located on the
southwest side of Byron Airport generally at the north corner of Falcon Way and Eagle Court. The parcel is
designated for aviation use on the Updated Airport Layout Plan for the Byron Airport.

Subject:Contra Costa Airports-Authorization to Negotiate Ground Lease & Development Terms for Approximately 3 Acres of
County-Owned Land at the Byron Airport
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of interest from Mark Scott Construction, Inc. to lease and develop the property for aviation use.
In accordance with the Airport Division’s standard, the Airport Division solicited for competitive interest in
developing the parcel prior to making a developer selection. This solicitation of competitive interest was
transmitted to the current commercial tenants of both County airports and to those persons who have asked
to be included on a list of developers interested in developing land at either of the County airports. The
County did not receive any other letters of interest to develop this property.
Consistent with the master developer selection process that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on
May 23, 2006, projects without a competitive interest are to proceed with the traditional environmental
review and lease development processes. The aviation development project will be presented to the
Aviation Advisory Committee, the Airport Committee, and any other stakeholder to enhance community
relations and collaborative relationships.
Negotiation of lease terms would expand economic activity, provide additional revenues to the Airport
Enterprise Fund, and expand aviation-related facilities and services at the Byron Airport. A business
proposal must be consistent with the Airport Master Plan and General Plan for consideration. The proposed
aviation development is consistent with the Byron Airport Master Plan and General Plan.
Unless and until a final lease agreement is fully executed by all parties, this Board Order, any draft lease
agreement, other communications or conduct of the parties shall have absolutely no legal effect, may not be
used to impose any legally binding obligation on the County and may not be used as evidence of any oral or
implied agreement between the parties or as evidence of the terms and conditions of any implied agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in initiating the developer selection process will result in a delay of developing vacant land at Byron
Airport and may negatively impact the Airport Enterprise Fund and County General Fund

Subject:Resolution of Intention to Form Zone 1007 of County Service Area P-6 in the Pacheco area of the County. (District V)
BACKGROUND:
Per the conditions of approval for Subdivision 9466 (County File #SD17-9466), the developer of the
property located at 214 Center Avenue in the Pacheco area is required to establish a Special Police
Services Tax District for the 8-lot subdivision prior to recording the final map for the subdivision. The
proposed special tax district would fund an increase in the level of police protection services that is
provided in the Pacheco area.
Adoption of a resolution of intent to form a new tax district (Resolution No. 2019/609) is required by
Government Code Section 25217, subdivision (b), as the first step in forming the proposed zone, which
will serve as the vehicle to collect special taxes within the proposed zone if the tax measure is approved
by the voters at the February 11, 2020, ballot. The resolution includes information regarding the name
and boundaries of the zone, the different level of services to be provided, and the method by which the
increased level of service is to be funded. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the Board to publish
and mail notice of a public hearing regarding the proposed zone formation. It is recommended that the
Board set this hearing for 9:30 a.m. on December 10, 2019. If at the conclusion of that public hearing the
Board determines that more than 50% of the total number of voters residing within the proposed zone
have filed written objections to the formation, Government Code Section 25217.1, subdivision (b)(1),
would require the Board to determine that a majority protest exists and to terminate the proceedings. The
proposed police service district currently consists of a single 0.49-acre property owned by AYM LLC,
who per the conditions of approval for the subdivision is required to establish the police service district
prior to recording the final map.
If there is no majority protest and the Board elects to proceed with the formation of the zone, a second
public hearing would be required to consider the approval of Ordinance No. 2019-29, pertaining to the
proposed levy of a special tax on the subject parcel within Zone 1007 for police protection services and
submission of the measure to the voters, pursuant to Government Code Section 50077, subdivision (a). It
is recommended that this hearing be set at 9:30 a.m. on December 10, 2019, immediately following the
hearing on the zone formation. If the Board thereafter adopts Ordinance No. 2019-29, then the tax
measure would be submitted for placement on the February 11, 2020 ballot.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, Ordinance No. 2019-29 will not be adopted, formation of Special Tax Zone 1007 will
not occur, and the Special Tax District will not be established at the December 10, 2019 hearing.

5. The increase in the level of service would be financed through the levy of a voter-approved special tax on all taxable parcels
within the zone.
6. The name proposed for the zone is "Zone 1007" of CSA P-6.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT at 9:30 a.m. on December 10, 2019, in the Chamber of the Board of
Supervisors, County Administration Building, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, CA 94553, this Board will conduct a public hearing

proposed police service district currently consists of two parcels, 7.68 acres owned by Gloria Terrace
LLC, who per the conditions of approval for the subdivision is required to establish the police service
district prior to recording the final map.
If there is no majority protest and the Board elects to proceed with the formation of the zone, a second

submission of the measure to the voters, pursuant to Government Code Section 50077, subdivision (a). It
is recommended that this hearing be set at 9:30 a.m. on December 10, 2019, immediately following the
hearing on the zone formation. If the Board thereafter adopts Ordinance No. 2019-28, then the tax
measure would be submitted for placement on the February 11, 2020 ballot.

Subject:Resolution of Intention to Form Zone 3113 of County Service Area P-6 in the El Sobrante area of the County. (District
I)
BACKGROUND:
Per the conditions of approval for Subdivision 9465 (County File #SD17-9465), the developer of the
property located at 39 Kirkpatrick Drive in the El Sobrante area is required to establish a Special Police
Services Tax District for the 5-lot subdivision prior to recording the final map for the subdivision. The
proposed special tax district would fund an increase in the level of police protection services that is
provided in the El Sobrante area.
Adoption of a resolution of intent to form a new tax district (Resolution No. 2019/611) is required by
Government Code Section 25217, subdivision (b), as the first step in forming the proposed zone, which
will serve as the vehicle to collect special taxes within the proposed zone if the tax measure is approved
by the voters at a February 11, 2020, ballot. The resolution includes information regarding the name and
boundaries of the zone, the different level of services to be provided, and the method by which the
increased level of service is to be funded. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the Board to publish
and mail notice of a public hearing regarding the proposed zone formation. It is recommended that the
Board set this hearing for 9:30 a.m. on December 10, 2019. If at the conclusion of that public hearing the
Board determines that more than 50% of the total number of voters residing within the proposed zone
have filed written objections to the formation, Government Code Section 25217.1, subdivision (b)(1),
would require the Board to determine that a majority protest exists and to terminate the proceedings. The
proposed police service district currently consists of two parcels, 1.13 acres owned by Jit, Sukhmit,
Satwant, and Gurmail Pandher, who, per the conditions of approval for the subdivision, are required to
establish the police service district prior to recording the final map.
If there is no majority protest and the Board elects to proceed with the formation of the zone, a second
public hearing would be required to consider the approval of Ordinance No. 2019-30, pertaining to the
proposed levy of a special tax on the subject parcel within Zone 3113 for police protection services and
submission of the measure to the voters, pursuant to Government Code Section 50077, subdivision (a). It
is recommended that this hearing be set at 9:30 a.m. on December 10, 2019, immediately following the
hearing on the zone formation. If the Board thereafter adopts Ordinance No. 2019-30, then the tax
measure would be submitted for placement on a February 11, 2020 ballot.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, Ordinance No. 2019-30 will not be adopted, formation of Special Tax Zone 3113 will
not occur, and the Special Tax District will not be established at the December 10, 2019 hearing.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPOINT Michelle Hernandez to the At Large #9 seat on the Commission for Women to complete the
current term expiring on February 28, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Commission for Women was formed to educate the community and advise the Contra
Costa County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to the changing social and economic conditions of
women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged. The Commission's
mission is, “to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality of life for women in Contra
Costa County.”
In September 2017, the IOC held a discussion about problems that had been reported concerning the
Commission for Women including a spate of member resignations, inability to achieve a meeting quorum,
blurred responsibilities, disagreement over the Commission's mission, factions and fragmentation, open
meeting act errors, and loss of interest among some of the membership. The IOC has worked with the
Commission over the last two years to institute policy and bylaws changes to address the issues that

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 005012 authorizing a decrease in revenue of
$62,967 in the Employment and Human Services Department, Workforce Development Board (0583), to
reflect the accurate amount of AB109 grant funding received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will result in a $62,967 revenue appropriation reduction. This amount was erroneously included
in a budget organization only meant to track AB109 funding.
BACKGROUND:
The County’s Employment and Human Services Department Workforce Development Board was awarded
$208,000 in AB109 funding. This was correctly budgeted for in revenue account 9951,
Reimbursement-Government to Government. However, an additional $62,967 in revenue was erroneously
budgeted in Miscellaneous Grants and Donations (Account 9966). Organization code 5620 is meant to only
track Workforce Development Board AB109 funding. Leaving the $62,967 in this Org gives the inaccurate
appearance that AB109 funding is $270,967 in Fiscal Year 2019-2020. This adjustment corrects to total
revenue to reflect $208,000.

Federal Head Start and Medi-Cal revenues. The action will not result in additional net County costs for
EHSD. Costs are further offset by the net decrease of one position from a previous Board Action,
Resolution 2019/181 approved by the Board on May 21, 2019.
BACKGROUND:

Subject:Increase the Hours of one Community Services Mental Health Clinical Supervisor from 20/40 to 40/40 in the EHSD
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in CSB administered early education programs throughout Contra Costa County. CSB provides
education, mental health, disabilities, health and nutrition services. The primary focus of CSB’s Mental
Health program is to prevent and treat social and emotional concerns of enrolled children by utilizing a
multi-modal approach to working with children, their families/caretakers and staff. The types of services
provided include: clinical services - individual and family psychotherapy; clinical assessment;
consultation with staff; treatment planning; case management; collateral sessions with parents/guardians
and crisis intervention.
The majority of clients receiving Mental Health services are Medi-Cal beneficiaries. As such, Medi-Cal
is appropriately billed and reimburses for these services. Currently, CSB has two part-time (20/40)
Mental Health Clinical Supervisors to provide these services. The CSB Mental Health (MH) Clinical
Supervisors supervise mental health interns who earn required hours by providing direct service to
children and families enrolled in CSB programs. For Graduate Interns, the MH Clinical Supervisors are
required to provide one-hour of group supervision for every ten face-to-face interactions with clients
along with two-hours of group supervision a week. Additionally, for interns enrolled in a Master’s
program, the MH Clinical Supervisors are required to provide one-hour of individual supervision for
every five face-to-face interactions with clients along with the two-hours of group supervision per week.
Currently, the number of children and families enrolled in CSB programs experiencing trauma has
increased. Additionally, due to changes in the Medi-Cal billing system, the CSB MH Clinical
Supervisors administrative responsibilities have been expanded and there are not enough remaining
hours for the MH Clinical Supervisors to provide the interns with the number of supervision hour
required. The time constraints have also impacted the MH Clinical Supervisors from attending Provider
Service Meetings and trainings or to focus on increased collaboration with the internal CSB staff or
other Community agencies to ensure all clients are receiving quality, sustainable services.
The increased hours for the CSB MH Clinical Supervisor will allow for CSB to meet the required intern
supervision requirements, to bring on more interns and ultimately provide more mental health services
to children in need. This will also allow CSB to meet their obligation to serve a minimum of 100 clients
as stipulated in the Memorandum of Understanding with Contra Costa County Health Service's
Behavioral Health.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the action is not approved, the Community Services Bureau‘s Mental Health program will not have
sufficient staff to provide adequate mental health services to enrolled children or to provide the required
supervision hours for CSB MH Interns.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This action will support three of the five Contra Costa County's community outcomes – Outcome 1-
Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; Outcome 2: Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing
for Productive Adulthood; Outcome 4: Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22536 to increase the hours of one (1) vacant Library
Assistant-Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) position #6044 from 20/40 hours to 32/40 hours at salary

FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $17,685. No
fiscal impact to the County general fund.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pittsburg has a large, diverse, Spanish-speaking population. It currently has one Library
Assistant-Journey Level position that is flagged for bilingual Spanish speakers. Since the time that position
was flagged, the Library has determined that there is a higher need for bilingual staff to better serve the
Pittsburg population. It has further determined that an increase in the working hours of the current bilingual
position would most efficiently serve this need.

vacant Deputy Public Defender-Fixed Term - Project (25W3) (represented) position number 17868 at
Salary Plan and Grade JDX 2197 ($8,107 - $8,715) in the Office of the Public Defender.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated total annual cost is approximately $141,079; total this fiscal year is approximately $94,053. 100%
funding source for this position is from the Youthful Offender Block Grant/Juvenile Justice Crime
Prevention Act (YOBG/JJCPA) state funding which is administered through the Contra Costa Probation
Department.
BACKGROUND:
In 2001, the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) was created with the passage of the Crime
Prevention Act of 2000 which provided stable funding sources for local juvenile justice programs aimed at
curbing crime and delinquency among at-risk youth. Contra Costa County uses this funding for programs
shown to have promising and positive outcomes, including support for Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs)
in high schools, DPOs that work from local police departments, aftercare DPOs at the Orin Allen Youth
Rehabilitative facility, and the provision of Functional Family Therapy.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Add one (1) full-time Deputy Public Defender-Fixed Term position in the Office of the Public Defender
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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. YOBG allocations are used to enhance the
capacity of County departments, including the Probation Department, to provide appropriate
rehabilitative and supervision services to youthful offenders.
The incumbent Deputy Public Defender will act as the Public Defender's Juvenile Education
Advocate/Re-entry Attorney and provide holistic legal services to youth impacted by the juvenile justice
system. This Deputy Publid Defender will work to improve their educational outcomes, decrease youth
homelessness, increase access to medical and mental health care, and increase employment
opportunities. This position will be fully 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 funding would not be received, and juvenile clients of the
Office of the Public Defender will not receive education advocacy services and other holistic legal
services.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The anticipated cost of funding these positions are $338,500 (salary and benefits) for a six-month period
(January through June 2020) and $677,000 for annual costs. The State allocation (CFL 19/20-28) has been

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The IHSS program has been understaffed over the years, which has been exacerbated by significant
caseload growth. The program has been under a state-mandated corrective action plan for several years
and has not made the progress required because we have not been able to add staff equal to caseload
growth and the challenge of recruiting qualified social workers.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The IHSS program will be unable to hire additional Social Workers so that the Division can make
progress on the state-mandated correction improvement plan.

Subject:2019-20 Quality Matters grant
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
stipends are awarded to childcare centers to improve the quality services through enhanced professional
development for staff and updated, improved site materials. The stipends will be given out on a per
classroom basis. The site supervisors, under the direction of Community Services Bureau Assistant
Directors, will determine what specific site materials, such as play equipment or educational toys, will be
purchased.
Professional development stipends will be distributed to selected classrooms, not to individuals, to fund
site-based training for classroom staff.
Selection of site award is determined by which sites have National Association of Education of Young
Children (NAEYC) and/or Preschool Makes a Difference (PMD) designations. The CSB Director will
make final decisions regarding stipend allocations. Allocation will be based on site designation, size of
center population, and professional learning needs as determined through assessment. The agreement
includes a clause to indemnify the County Office of Education.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the Department will not receive funding to implement Quality Rating System components.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Early Head Start
program supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for
and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4:
“Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive
services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income
children throughout Contra Costa County.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to accept
funding in the amount of $16,000 from Contra Costa County Office of Education for the Quality Matters
Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
County to receive $16,000 in grant revenue from Contra Costa County Office of Education. No County
match is required.
BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to address the unique multi-discipline planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs of
high-threat, high-density urban areas and to assist these areas in building and sustaining capabilities to
prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism using a "Whole
Community" approach. Activities implemented with UASI funds must support terrorism preparedness by
building or enhancing capabilities that relate to the prevention of, protection from, mitigation of, response
to or recovery from terrorism in order to be considered eligible. However, many capabilities which support
terrorism preparedness simultaneously support preparedness for other hazards. Grantees must demonstrate
the dual-use quality for any activities implemented that are not explicitly focused on terrorism
preparedness. Urban areas must use UASI funds to employ regional approaches to overall preparedness and
are encouraged to adopt regional response structures whenever appropriate. UASI program implementation
and governance must include regional partners and should have balanced representation among entities with
operational responsibilities for prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery activities within
the region.
The District is seeking approval to apply for the UASI grant to purchase two (2) towable 125 kilowatt
emergency power generators. The generators will provide the District and its operational area’s critical
infrastructure with emergency power in future instances of power failure or Public Safety Power Shutoffs.

2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, the County will receive up to $11,000. The grant requires a 100% County match, of which
50% can be an in-kind match.
BACKGROUND:
The Veterans in the Arts (VIA) program is rooted in the California Arts Council’s (CAC) desire to increase
equity, access, and opportunities for veterans to participate in quality arts programming that is sensitive and
responsive to their unique experiences. The VIA program provides project and partnership support for
State-Local Partners (SLPs) to reach veterans, active military, and their families. VIA serves to enrich the
lives of veterans through arts programming.
In 2014, the County as the SLP in Contra Costa, responded to the CAC VIA pilot grant opportunity with a
proposal to develop the AboutFace: Building Veterans Self-understanding through Self-expression project.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Opportunity Overview
The Better Careers Design Group (BCDG) is a cross-sector group organized by Third Sector that will
collaborate to apply new skills and design solutions for systemic workforce challenges. It aims to advance
the equity of economic outcomes in California in an 18-month long curriculum that will involve more than
15 participant organizations and 6 interactive workshops. From January 2020 through June 2021, the
Design Group members will partner with people and communities they serve to investigate problems that
may exist within their local workforce systems. Members will learn and utilize human-centered, and
outcomes-oriented design while building relationships across sectors and gaining guidance from state-level
agencies.
Design Group members will create collective, localized outcomes-driven plans that promote equity and
further at least one of the goals of the Better Careers initiative:
Help under-resourced jobseekers secure jobs that pay a family-sustaining wage
Improve training opportunities that lead to quality jobs and advancement
Identify successful models of matching employers with middle-skilled workers
Build and grow a diversified pool of talented workers
The Design Group is supported by a grant from the James Irvine Foundation that allows members to
participate at no cost. The program is supported by a $25,000 participation grant, and reimbursement for all
workshop travel and lodging expenses. Each Design Group organization will select two staff members to
join the Design Group. The application is open to Irvine Better Careers Initiative grantees as well as any
governmental agency in California focused on at least one goal of the Better Careers initiative. Preference
will be given to organizations with pre-existing relationships that apply as a complete Design Group Team.
Each organization will need to submit an individual application for their organization. The ORJ is applying
as a member of the Design Group Team with the Contra Costa County Workforce Development Board, the
Employment and Human Services Department, and Rubicon Programs, Inc.
The Office of Reentry & Justice (ORJ), a project of the County Administrator's Office in the County of
Contra Costa, is responsible for the procurement process and contract administration for AB 109 Public
Safety Realignment-funded "Community Programs." These AB 109 Community Programs include $2.283
million annually for "Employment Support and Placement Services," which are currently provided on a
countywide basis to the County's returning residents by Rubicon Programs, Inc. The barriers faced by those
returning to the community from jail and/or prison are manifold and complex; they may include (but are not
limited to) substance use disorder, lack of training or education, unstable work history, transportation
challenges, and lack of housing/housing instability. The ORJ is also responsible for data collection and
analysis activities related to the County's implementation of Public Safety Realignment, including the
administration of a Salesforce-based reentry services database for service providers' utilization.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Inaction or negative action would prevent the Office of Reentry and Justice from participating in the
California Better Design Group process for the period of January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

funds must support terrorism preparedness by building or enhancing capabilities that relate to the
prevention of, protection from, mitigation of, response to or recovery from terrorism in order to be
considered eligible. However, many capabilities which support terrorism preparedness simultaneously
support preparedness for other hazards. Grantees must demonstrate the dual-use quality for any activities
implemented that are not explicitly focused on terrorism preparedness. Urban areas must use UASI funds to
employ regional approaches to overall preparedness and are encouraged to adopt regional response
structures whenever appropriate. UASI program implementation and governance must include regional
partners and should have balanced representation among entities with operational responsibilities for
prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery activities within the region.
The District is seeking approval to apply for the UASI grant to purchase a hooklift modular transport
vehicle. This project will provide us with a vehicle that can deliver modularized rescue containers to
multiple locations in a large incident with one vehicle. This project is based on a vehicle that Phoenix Fire
Department has used for a number of years and has been deployed to multiple major disasters with FEMA
USAR AZ TF-1. The vehicle is a three axle commercial chassis truck that has a specialized system built on
it that allows it to move up to a fully loaded 20 foot intermodal container. The containers will each be
designed for different rescue disciplines (heavy breaching, shoring, etc.). This vehicle would give our
department and the region the ability to build multiple caches of equipment and deliver them with one
vehicle.

In early 2016, the County was allocated funding to act as Co-Administrator in partnership with the Energy
Council (a joint powers agency formed by Alameda County and its cities) to (1), support EBEW
administrative functions on behalf of EBEW programs in Contra Costa County and (2), implement a
marketing and outreach campaign targeting small/medium businesses within the incorporated and
unincorporated areas of the County. In 2017, the County entered into a contract with the Energy Council
for $40,000 for a period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, which included the same activities,
but excluded the requirement of implementing a marketing and outreach campaign. A contract amendment
was executed for the period of December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018, which also increased the dollar
amount from $40,000 to $85,000 to continue to act as Co-Administrator with the Energy Council for EBEW
and cover staff costs. The proposed contract amendment increases the dollar amount an additional $40,000
to $125,000 for the period December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2019, for County staff to continue to
support EBEW activities.
Due to PG&E’s existing financial circumstances and the unique nature of the required contract language
and funding source, both agencies needed to wait until other agreements were established with PG&E
before each agency could move forward with this contract amendment. As with all prior amendments to this
contract, the agreement requires the County to defend and indemnify the Energy Council from all claims
and liabilities to the extent that the claims and liabilities arise from the County’s negligence or willful
misconduct while performing its obligations under the agreement. The proposed effective date of this
contract will provide for cost reimbursement for eligible work completed by DCD staff, in accordance with
the contract requirements.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Inaction or negative action would deprive the Conservation and Development Department of an additional
$40,000 to cover staff time to support EBEW activities on behalf of the incorporated and unincorporated
areas of the county for calendar year 2019.
RECOMMENDATION(S):

BACKGROUND:
The waterways in and around Contra Costa County have long been used for the illegal dumping and sinking
of abandoned and derelict vessels of all sizes and types. If allowed to remain, these vessels are often
hazards to safety, navigation, wildlife, and are hazardous to the environment. Many vessels are carrying
hazardous materials. The vessels adversely impact residents, commercial, and recreational boaters in and
around Contra Costa County.
The Office of the Sheriff's Marine Services Unit utilizes salvers who are specially trained, equipped, and
capable of removing the vessels that may be afloat, aground or submerged.

limit, with all other terms as originally presented.
To recap, the County Administrator's Law and Justice Information Systems (LJIS) Unit requires staff
resources to implement a significant new information technology project – replacement of the countywide
warrant management system. This project is critical to the Sheriff, Superior Court, and all county law
enforcement agencies. The CAO has recruited for ISPAs five times in the last three years but has been
unable to keep the positions filled. Therefore, the CAO is seeking to hire three qualified temporary
contractors to support the LJIS Unit, while continuing to recruit to fill positions permanently. The proposed
contract with TEK Systems, Inc., will provide qualified contract-to-hire candidates for these hard to fill
positions in the County Administrator's LJIS Unit through September 30, 2020. The intent is to backfill
vacancies for no longer than 12 months.

Subject:Approve a contract amendment with Dan Cloak (d/b/a Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting), Countywide
BACKGROUND:
The Board approved a contract with Dan Cloak (d/b/a Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting) on April 18,
2017 for the term of April 18, 2017 through June 30, 2020 in the amount of $450,000. Contra Costa Clean
Water Program (CCCWP) consists of Contra Costa County, its 19 incorporated cities/towns, and the Contra
Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (hereinafter referred to collectively as
Permittees). The CCCWP was established in 1991 through a Program Agreement in response to the 1987
amendments to the federal Clean Water Act (CWA), which established a framework for regulating
municipal stormwater discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit Program. The United States Environmental Protection Agency published final rules implementing
the 1987 CWA amendments in November 1990. The rules mandate that Permittees obtain and implement
stormwater permits designed to reduce and eliminate the discharge of pollutants into and from Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems they own and operate. Through the CCCWP, Permittees conduct many of
the mandated activities collectively (referred to as Group Activities), such as water quality monitoring,
special studies, and public education. The roles and responsibilities of the CCCWP and Permittees are
outlined in the Program Agreement, which was last updated and adopted by all Permittees in June 2010.
Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting is recognized statewide as a leader in the field of post-construction
stormwater management. Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting is uniquely qualified to provide continued
support of the CCCWP’s compliance programs related to the new and redevelopment permit requirements,
including, but not limited to, green infrastructure planning and implementation. In order to continue ongoing
permit compliance activities, CCCWP staff, on behalf of the Permittees, respectfully request approval of
this contract with Dan Cloak d/b/a Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting to add $310,000 and extend the
term from June 30, 2020 to April 18, 2022.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract with Dan Cloak (d/b/a Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting) is not approved, critical
ongoing compliance projects would be delayed and the CCCWP would not be able to fulfill the permit
mandates, and municipalities could be found in non-compliance with the NPDES permits issued by the San
Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Fines totaling $10,000 per day
and $10 per gallon of stormwater discharge could potentially be imposed.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, Flood Control and Water Conservation District, or

Technical Services, Inc. (d/b/a ADH Environmental), to increase the payment limit by $1,676,681 to a new

Subject:Approve contract amendement with ADH Technical Services, Inc. (d/b/a ADH Environmental), Countywide
BACKGROUND:
The Board approved a contract with ADH Technical Services, Inc. (d/b/a ADH Environmental) for the period of July 1, 2017 through
June 30, 2020 in the amount of $2,023,319. The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (the “CCCWP”) consists of
Contra Costa County, its 19 incorporated cities/towns, and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Permittees”). The CCCWP was
established in 1991 through a Program Agreement in response to the 1987 amendments to the federal Clean
Water Act (the “CWA), which established a framework for regulating municipal stormwater discharges
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Permit Program. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency published final rules implementing the 1987 CWA amendments in
November 1990. The rules mandate that Permittees obtain and implement stormwater permits designed to
reduce and eliminate the discharge of pollutants into and from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems
they own and operate. Through the CCCWP, Permittees conduct many of the mandated activities
collectively (referred to as “Group Activities”), such as water quality monitoring, special studies, and public
education. The roles and responsibilities of the CCCWP and Permittees are outlined in the Program
Agreement, which was last updated and adopted by all Permittees in June 2010.
The CCCWP’s Management Committee has directed that certain requirements of the NPDES Permits, such
as water quality monitoring, be coordinated, implemented, and funded as a Group Activity.
The CCCWP’s stormwater monitoring program covers a variety of water quality monitoring activities,
special studies, and pilot projects designed to identify and evaluate sources, pathways, loadings and impacts
of pollutants that reach local creeks and streams, and eventually into San Francisco Bay and the Delta.
These pollutants include mercury, PCBs, and trash. The program also investigates the effectiveness of
stormwater treatment control technologies. All of these activities meet the requirements of the NPDES
Permits.
CCCWP staff, on behalf of the Permittees, respectfully requests approval of this contract amendment with
ADH Technical Services, Inc. (d/b/a ADH Environmental) to add $1,676,681 and to extend the term from
June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2022
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract with ADH Technical Services, Inc. (d/b/a ADH Environmental) is not approved, the
CCCWP would not be able to fulfill the permit mandates, and municipalities could be found in
non-compliance with the NPDES permits issued by the Water Boards. Fines totaling $10,000 per day and
$10 per gallon of stormwater discharged could potentially be imposed.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, Flood Control and Water Conservation District, or
designee, to execute, on behalf of the Contra Costa Clean Water Program, a contract amendment with
Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. to increase the payment limit by $687,000 to a new
payment limit of $1,000,000 and to extend the term from June 30, 2020 to June 6, 2022 to provide technical
support services in order to maintain compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
Permit, Countywide.Project Nos. 7519-6X7616 and 7519-6X7623.

The contract is being funded by stormwater utility fee assessments collected by the Cities/Towns and

Subject:Contract Amedment with Larry Walker Associates, Incorporated, for stormwater technical support services
BACKGROUND:
The Board approved a contract with Larry Walker Associates, Incorporated on June 6, 2017 for the period
of June 6, 2017 though June 30, 2020. An administrative amendment was approved to change the
subcontractor rates effective June 6, 2017. The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (the “CCCWP”)
consists of Contra Costa County, its 19 incorporated cities/towns, and the Contra Costa County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District (referred to collectively as “Permittees”). The CCCWP was
established in 1991 through a Program Agreement in response to the 1987 amendments to the federal Clean
Water Act (“CWA”), which established a framework for regulating municipal stormwater discharges under

education and outreach. The roles and responsibilities of the CCCWP and Permittees are outlined in the
Program Agreement, which was last updated and adopted by all Permittees in June 2010.
CCCWP develops and implements plans and programs to monitor and mitigate stormwater pollution on
behalf of Contra Costa Permittees. CCCWP’s stormwater monitoring programs are designed to identify and
evaluate sources, pathways, loadings and impacts of pollutants (such as mercury and PCBs) that reach local
creeks and streams, and eventually into the San Francisco Bay and the Delta. CCCWP also develops plans
and programs which investigate the effectiveness of stormwater treatment control technologies, and propose
locations and timelines for implementation of these technologies. These include plans and programs for
green infrastructure implementation, trash capture, and implementation of other technologies. Stormwater
technical support services from Larry Walker Associates, Incorporated, (“LWA”) are needed to help
CCCWP and the Permittees develop and implement these plans and programs to maintain compliance with
stormwater permit requirements from the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality
Control Boards.
In order to help continue to maintain permit compliance, CCCWP staff, on behalf of the Permittees,
respectfully requests approval of this contract amendment number 2 with Larry Walker Associates,
Incorporated to add $833,000 and to extend the term from June 30, 2020 to June 6, 2022.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract with Larry Walker Associates, Incorporated is not approved, the CCCWP would not be able
to fulfill the permit mandates, and municipalities could be found in non-compliance with the NPDES
permits issued by the Water Boards. Fines totaling $10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of stormwater
discharge could potentially be imposed.

provide the context of the existing infrastructure in preparation of the Active Transportation Plan, as well
as provide the context for query of collision data in the Vision Zero plan to look for systemic
countermeasures countywide.
Under the customer agreement, Ecopia will develop the infrastructure data and provide the data to the

County will pay Ecopia an amount not to exceed $80,000 for the deliverables, the work it performs to create
the deliverables, and the perpetual license it grants the County to use the deliverables. The deliverables will
include certain data in specified formats for County roads, bike lanes, and adjacent improvements. Public
Works Department staff have determined that the customer agreement requires the data to be provided to
the County in a format that is usable in connection with the County’s active transportation planning work.
Ecopia will retain ownership of the data. Ecopia will grant the County a perpetual license in the
deliverables, to allow the County to use the deliverables for purposes related to active transportation
planning, and for other County purposes. The license agreement requires the County to indemnify Ecopia
from any claims related to the County’s use of the deliverables, including breaches of the license
agreement. The license agreement also limits Ecopia’s liability to the County. Ecopia will not be liable to
the County for any indirect, special, punitive, or consequential damages, and in no event will Ecopia’s
liability to the County exceed the amount the County pays Ecopia for the deliverables.
The County will retain the ability to produce reports and other materials using the data provided by Ecopia.
The County also will retain the ability to disclose the data and deliverables when required by third-party
subpoena, court order, state or federal laws, or the County’s Better Government Ordinance.
The deliverables that Ecopia will provide the County will include critical information related to active
transportation planning. Public Works Department staff recommends that the Board approve the execution
of the customer agreement and the license agreement to enable the County to receive deliverables created
by Ecopia.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the agreement is not approved, the County will not be able to contract with Ecopia to obtain the
deliverables for the above negotiated contract price.

Suitable nesting habitat for
Red-tailed Hawk and Red-
shouldered Hawk occurs on
and adjacent to the project site.
These raptors are protected
under the Federal Migratory
Bird Treaty Act (50 CFR
10.13) and their nest, eggs, and
young are protected under
California Fish and Game Code
Sections 3503, 3503.5, 3800,
and 3513.
BIO-1: In order to avoid impacts to nesting raptors,
a nesting survey should be conducted 30 days prior
to commencing with tree removal or construction
work if this work would commence between
February 1st and August 31st. The raptor nesting
surveys should include examination of all trees
within 300 feet of the entire project site, not just
trees slated for removal.
If nesting raptors are identified during the surveys,
the dripline of the nest tree must be fenced with
orange construction fencing (provided the tree is on
the project site), and a 300-foot radius around the
nest tree must be staked with bright orange lath or
other suitable staking. If the tree is adjacent to the
project site, then the buffer should be demarcated
per above where the buffer occurs on the project
site. The size of the buffer may be altered if a
qualified raptor biologist conducts behavioral
observations and determines the nesting raptors are
well acclimated to disturbance. If this occurs, the
raptor biologist may prescribe a modified buffer that
allows sufficient room to prevent undue
disturbance/harassment to the nesting raptors. No
construction or earth-moving activity should occur
within the established buffer until it is determined
by a qualified raptor biologist that the young have
fledged (i.e. left the nest) and have attained
sufficient flight skills to avoid project construction
zones. This typically occurs by August 1st. This
date may be earlier than August 1st, or later, and
would have to be determined by a qualified raptor
biologist.

Nesting passerine birds could
be impacted by the proposed
project. Birds and their nests
are protected under California
Fish and Game Code (Sections
3503, 3503.5), and the Federal
Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
BIO-2: If tree removal or site disturbance would
occur between February 1 and August 31, a nesting
survey should be conducted on the project site prior
to the disturbance. The nesting surveys should be
completed 15 days prior to commencing with the
work. If nesting passerine birds are identified
nesting on or near the project site, a 75-foot radius
around the nest must be demarcated with
construction fencing. If an active nest is found
offsite, the portion of the buffer that is onsite must
be staked. The size of the buffer may be altered if a
qualified ornithologist conducts behavioral
observations and determines the birds are well

acclimated to disturbance or are otherwise
geographically shielded from disturbance. If this
occurs, the ornithologist may prescribe a modified
buffer that allows sufficient room to prevent undue
disturbance/harassment to the nesting birds. No
construction or earth-moving activity should occur
within the staked buffer until it is determined by a
qualified ornithologist that the young have fledged
(that is, left the nest) and have attained sufficient
flight skills to avoid project construction zones.
Typically, most birds in the region of the project site
are expected to complete nesting by August 1st.
However, in the region many species can complete
nesting by mid-June to mid-July. Regardless,
nesting buffers should be maintained until August
1st unless a qualified ornithologist determines that
young have fledged and are independent of their
nests at an earlier date. If buffers are removed prior
to August 1st, the qualified biologist conducting the
nesting surveys should prepare a report that
provides details about the nesting outcome and the
removal of buffers. This report should be submitted
to the County’s Department of Conservation and
Development prior to the time that buffers are
removed if the date is before August 1st.
Geology and Soils
In June 26, 2014, the project
geotechnical engineer
performed a geologic and
geotechnical investigation of
the site that provided an
assessment of potential hazards
and provided preliminary
geotechnical recommendations
for the project. In 2016 the
geotechnical engineer
performed a supplemental slope
stability analysis that evaluated
the stability of the proposed
grading plan for the project.
The geotechnical engineer
provided criteria to gauge
satisfactory performance of
slopes, and their analysis of
GEO-1: An updated geotechnical report will be
submitted prior to recordation of the parcel map to
confirm that the factors of safety for engineered
slopes will comply with the standards established for
the project. The report must provide updated
recommendations for site grading, drainage, and
foundation design that is based on the approved
project. It should also address the following:
The recommendations should include addressing
special foundation conditions (i.e. differential
fill thickness, cut/fill transition pad, etc.)
There is an unknown, but potentially significant,
risk that soils on the site are corrosive.
Geotechnical review of retention basins. Seven
(7) relatively small water quality/bio-retention
basins are currently indicated in the project. The
project geotechnical reports do not currently
evaluate the basins. The primary concerns with

slope stability indicated that not
all slopes in the project had an
adequate factor of safety
against sliding. The report
concluded that special
engineering would be required
to meet project objectives (e.g.
use of reinforced earth in
critical areas of the site was
needed for the proposed
grading to meet the factor of
safety adopted for the project).
bio-retention structures are (i) providing suitable
support for foundations, curbs and other
improvements constructed near the bio-retention
facilities, and (ii) potential for subsurface water
from the bio-retention areas to migrate (and
possibly build up) beneath pavements and the
proposed building. Specific criteria and
standards for the siting and design of such
facilities should be provided prior to issuance of
construction permits, including the effect of
infiltration on stability of the adjacent bank of
the drainage ditch, and potential for uncontrolled
overflow if the spillway of the basin is
obstructed (e.g. by woody vegetation, litter,
soil).
The slope stability analysis should be repeated
for any areas of the site where the project design
has been modified from conditions evaluated in
the Supplemental Slope Stability Report, dated
November 4, 2016.
Provide further details on the recommended plan
review prior to issuance of construction permits
as well as details on the monitoring to be
performed during clearing, site grading, of
installation of drainage facilities and foundation
construction. It should also explain the role of
the project engineering geologist during
construction (e.g. inspection and mapping of all
cut slopes and cut pads).

News /Accomplishments
On September 25, the Office of Head Start hosted a live webinar on the Focus Area
Two (FA2) Federal monitoring review. The FA Two is an onsite review that focuses on
classroom observations, the use of data management systems and the eligibility and
enrollment process as they relate the to the Head Start Program Standards. Senior
Management staff members participated in the webinar, and will share the
information with center staff and content area experts to prepare for the upcoming
re view. CSB anticipates the FA2 review will occur mid-year 2020. CSB received its FA
One review in March 2019 which resulted in no areas of concerns and highlighted
CSB’s child safety and supervision and CSB’s CLOUDs database.
CSB will be conducting an on -site self-assessment this year utilizing Head Start and
Early Head Start experts. The group of four consultants will pair with content area
staff to conduct the assessment using the FA2 monitoring tool. The review will be held
the week of December 9, 2019.
In Preparation for the CLASS (Classroom Assessment and Scoring System) review
beginning October 21, 2019, CSB had the pleasure to host Head Start Regional Office
Technical Assistant (TA) managers on a tour of Head Start directly operated and
partner sites in East County. CSB shared program highlights and concluded the visits
with in-depth discussions to further prepare for the upcoming review.
The Balboa Children’s center had a successful National Association for the Educatio n
of Young Children (NAEYC) review, and achieved a new five -year term of
accreditation. Additionally, staff members at Balboa participated in a Strengths -Finder
training with Robert Huffman. The training focused on understanding and utilizing
strengths in the workplace. The training was well received .
The Economic Opportunity Council conducted their elections with the following
results:
o Chair: Renee Zeimer
o Vice Chair: Dawn Miguel
o Secretary: Tricia Piquero
The Community Services Block Grant Organizational Standards have been submitted
for CSB with 100% compliance in all areas.

b. Staffing:
During the month of September, CSB hired an Infant Toddler Teacher,
Teacher, Intermediate Clerk, five (5) temporary Teacher Assistant
Trainees (TAT), and promoted three (3) TATs to Associate Teacher Subs
in an effort to maintain a viable pull of substitutes needed for the
classrooms. Additionally, CSB hired a temporary Children Services
Manager, and a permanent and temporary Ch ild Nutrition Food
Transporter.
Interviews are scheduled for the following positions; Accountant II,
Infant Toddler Master Teachers and Associate Teachers.
CSB is looking to fill vacancies for a permanent Site Supervisor II and III,
Assistant Director, Accounting Technician, two (2) Clinical Mental Health
Supervisors, two (2) Spanish Speaking Intermediate Clerks and a
Children Services Manager to meet the bur eau’s needs.
CSB is in the process of hiring 11 new Master Teachers throughout the
county. CSB’s goal is for each center to have at leas t one Master
Teacher at every center and two at the larger centers.
II. Emerging Issues and Hot Topics:
CSB is thankful to the county Board of Supervisors who signed on to
National Head Start Association’s Letter to the Administration for Children
and Familie s asking that the 10% CLASS score trigger for DRS (Designation
Renewal) be removed from regulations. Currently, any program that
receives a CLASS score lower than the lowest 10% of programs reviewed
that year, will need to re -compete for its grant, even if its score is above the
federal threshold indicating quality . The current system ensures that at
least one agency will always be in re -competition as a result of their score.
CSB is gearing up to support education around Census 2020. Activities will
incl ude staff and parent workshops, informational booths at centers and
outreach materials and information to families through parent meetings
and community events.

Refer to the Industrial Safety Ordinance Ad Hoc Committee of Supervisors John Gioia and Federal Glover
the issue of existing regulatory oversight over storage tank farms and whether provisions of the Industrial
Safety Ordinance should be extended to storage tank farms.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
On October 15, 2019, an explosion and fire occurred at the NuStar Energy facility in the Selby/Crockett
area. Two storage tanks containing ethanol burned along with jet fuel and diesel in adjacent pipelines. There
are extensive procedures in place under the County’s Industrial Safety Ordinance to improve safety and
minimize risk at the four oil refineries and two chemical plants in Contra Costa County. According to
permit records of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, there are 16 storage tank facilities in
Contra Costa County and these facilities are not currently covered by the Industrial Safety Ordinance. The
committee will explore whether extending the Industrial Safety Ordinance to these facilities will improve
safety and reduce risk of industrial accidents at these facilities.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the area median income. The County entered into a Regulatory Agreement with Del Norte Place, a
California Limited Partnership, to maintain the project's affordability for a term of 30 years.
In October of 2003, the Project was sold to Fairfield Del Norte LLC and the affordability term was
extended by ten years to 2042. In 2007, the Project was purchased by MG Garden View Apartments
L.P., Rancho Pointe Apartments L.P. and Malibu Terrace Apartments L.P. (the “Current Owners”), the
bonds were defeased and the Regulatory Agreement was assigned to the Current Owner. At that time,
MG Properties Group became the property manager of the Project. The Current Owners now wish to
sell the Project to Del Norte Place Apartments L.P., a limited partnership owned 95% by Aegon
Workforce Housing Fund 3 and 5% by Mark Gleiberman, the president of the general partner of each of
the tenant-in-common owners of the Current Owner. The new ownership entity will invest
approximately $1.5 million in property improvements and upgrade units as they become vacant. MG
Properties Group will continue as the property manager of the Project.
Aegon Workforce Housing Fund 3 is an affiliate of Aegon, a real estate investment company with over
568 Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects throughout the U.S. Within the Bay Area,
Aegon has investment in 31 LIHTC developments. MG Properties Group was established in 1992 and
currently manages over 20,000 apartments in California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.
They have managed Del Norte Place for the past 12 years, and are in compliance with the Regulatory
Agreement.
This action is to approve the sale and transfer of the Project from the Current Owner to the New Owner,
including the execution of an Assignment, Assumption, Consent and Release Agreement (form attached)
that transfers the Regulatory Agreement to the New Owner. The action also approves the services of our
bond counsel, Quint & Thimmig. Quint & Thimmig have served as bond counsel for the County’s
Multifamily Housing Revenue Bond Program since 2011.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, Del Norte Place Apartments would not be able to be sold to Del Norte Place
Apartments, L.P.

predecessor-in-interest, and filed for record on October 30, 2003 as Document No. 2003 -
0539048 in the Recorder’s Office; and
WHEREAS, the Bonds were fully redeemed on or about November 5, 2007; and
WHEREAS, Seller desires to convey its fee title in the Project to Purchaser and in
connection therewith Purchaser desires to assume the obligations of Seller under the Regulatory

Recorder’s Office in favor of Purchaser; and
WHEREAS, County and Trustee have agreed to consent to the conveyance of the Project,
as required as a condition to such conveyance in accordance with Section 13 of the Regulatory
Agreement; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of other good and valuable

such rights, duties and obligations to Purchaser as of the Effective Date. Purchaser assumes no
obligations for any losses, claims, lawsuits or damages of any kind arising in connection with the
operation of the Project prior to the Effective Date or any violations of the Regulatory
Agreement occurring prior to the Effective Date or obligations required to be performed
thereunder prior to the Effective Date, and Seller shall remain liable for any such violations of
the Regulatory Agreement occurring prior to the Effective Date or obligations required to be
performed thereunder prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary (but subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence), Purchaser ’s assumption of
obligations set forth herein expressly constitutes an assumption of all liabilities and obligations
of the “Borrower” under the Regulatory Agreement and is subject to all exculpatory, non-
recourse and other similar provisions contained in the Regulatory Agreement which limit the
liability of the Borrower thereunder; provided that, Seller shall remain liable with respect to acts
occurring prior to the Effective Date. County and Trustee hereby accept Purchaser’s assumption
as set forth herein as of the Effective Date, and County and Trustee hereby release Seller and all
past, present and future partners, members, officers, directors, employees , and agents of Seller
from the rights, duties, and obligations under the Regulatory Agreement so assumed as of the
DOCS 104794-000081/3808572.2
Effective Date, except to the extent that Seller may have continuing obligations after the
Effective Date as explicitly set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, County and Trustee waive the following provisions in the
Regulatory Agreement as to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not have any obligation to comply
with such provisions as follows: (1) Purchaser may limit its compliance reporting to County
only, and shall not have any obligation to remit compliance reports to Trustee; (2) Paragraph 4(f)
of the Regulatory Agreement (concerning the annual submittal of IRS form 8073) is hereby
deemed stricken in its entirety; and (3) Purchaser has no obligations relating to the Bonds (other
than Purchaser’s obligation to own, manage and operate the Project in full co mpliance with the
affordable housing requirements and restrictions in the Regulatory Agreement).
2. Seller’s Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants to
County and Trustee as of the date of this Agreement the following:
a. Seller understands and intends that Purchaser, County, and Trustee will
rely on the representations and warranties contained herein.
b. Seller is not in default under the Regulatory Agreement.
c. No default under the Regulatory Agreement on the part of Seller has

a default under the Regulatory Agreement.
d. All fees due and owing by Seller prior to the date hereof have been paid
pursuant to the provisions of the Regulatory Agreement.
3. Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. Purchaser represents and warrants
to County and Trustee as of the date of this Agreement the following:

rely on the representations and warranties contained herein.
b. Purchaser has no knowledge that any of the representations made by Seller

hereby consents to the transfer and conveyance of the Project from Seller to Purchaser, which
DOCS 104794-000081/3808572.2
consent shall be effective on the Effective Date. County’s and Trustee’s consent to the transfer
of the Project to Purchaser is not intended to be and shall not be construed as a consent by any of
them to a subsequent transfer of the Project.
b. The parties hereby agree that from and after the Effective Date all
references to “Borrower” in the Regulatory Agreement shall mean and refer to Purchaser.
5. County Requirements Under the Regulatory Agreement. In addition to the
requirements set forth in this Agreement, County’s consent to the transfer of the Project is
conditioned upon receipt of the following item, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged: an
opinion of counsel to Purchaser addressed to Trustee and County that Purchaser has duly
assumed the obligations of Seller under the Regulatory Agreement and that such obligations and
the Regulatory Agreement are binding on Purchaser.
6. Indemnification.
a. Seller and Purchaser hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to
hold harmless County against any claim, loss, expense (including, without limitation,

County
Subject:Payments for Services Provided by SJBH, LLC (dba San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
As requested by the County, SJBH, LLC (dba San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital) provided additional
inpatient psychiatric treatment services in good faith. The Health Services Department has therefore
determined that SJBH, LLC (dba San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital) is entitled to payment for the
reasonable value of their services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. That theory
provides that where a person has been asked to provide services without a valid contract, and the
provider does so to the benefit of the recipient, the provider is entitled to recover reasonable value of
those services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contractor will not be paid for psychiatric treatment services rendered in good faith.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcome: “Communities that are
Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes
include a decrease in the need for inpatient care and placement at a lower level of care.
ATTACHMENTS
RECOMMENDATION(S):
(1) APPROVE a loan of $500,000 in Local Government Special Needs Housing Program (SNHP)
(formerly a component under the Mental Health Services Act known as the MHSA Housing Program)
funds to SP Commons L.P., a California limited partnership, for the development of the St. Paul’s
Commons project in Walnut Creek; and
(2) APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Behavioral Health Director, or designee, to execute legal documents
to effect the loan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. The County received $1,736,694 in SNHP (formerly known as MHSA
Housing Program) funds from the State of California in December 2016 ($1,735,224) and May 2017
($1,470). These funds were sent from the California Housing Finance Agency to counties that wanted direct
fund management. The funds are restricted and must be used to support affordable housing for persons
meeting the MHSA eligibility criteria.
BACKGROUND:
St. Paul’s Commons will be permanently affordable supportive housing for 44 extremely low-, very low-
and low-income special needs and homeless households. The ground floor will house the new space for
Trinity Center, a homeless day center and case management provider serving central Contra Costa County.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Legal documents for $500,000 loan of Special Needs Housing Program for the St Paul's Commons Development in
Walnut Creek
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On March 20, 2018, the Board approved loans and legal documents for HOME Investment Partnerships
Act ($2,642,000), Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS ($232,681) to SP Commons L.P.
and a grant of Community Development Block Grant ($1,000,000) to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and
SP Commons L.P. (the borrower) in partnership with Resources for Community Development (RCD) (as
managing general partner) for the development of St. Paul’s Commons project in Walnut Creek.
Since that time, development costs increased due to an increase in EBMUD’s System Capacity Charge,
unexpected sub-surface site conditions, delays in utility termination at the outset of construction, and
increased need for architecture construction administration. This allocation of SNHP funds will close the
funding gap and support the successful completion of the project.
In exchange for the SNHP funds, SP Commons L.P. will set aside five units for chronically homeless
households with severe mental health needs at St Paul’s Commons. The units will be available to and
occupied by the target population for 55 years. The loan will be payable through residual receipts (if any)
until the end of the term. The SNHP loan will be junior to all other debt on the property.
The County’s MHSA Three Program and Expenditure Plan Update (MHSA 3-year Plan) includes the
SNHP funds and the loan for the St Paul’s development is consistent with the MHSA 3-year Plan.
The draft County legal documents have been reviewed by all development partners. The only
outstanding comments are from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Because all other County documents for this development have been previously reviewed and approved
by HUD, County staff believes that any remaining comments will be technical corrections only.
Behavioral Health recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the attached documents in their
substantially final form and authorize County Counsel to make any non-substantive revisions to
incorporate HUD comments. This will allow the development to move forward in a timely manner.
This project was previously found to be exempt from CEQA (Sections 15192 and 15194 of the CEQA
guidelines) and the County filed a Notice of Determination in March 2018.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of funds and execution of the SNHP legal documents, the project will not be
completed. Construction is expected to be complete in Fall 2019.
ATTACHMENTS
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/628 as approved by the Retirement Board, which establishes retirement plan
contribution rates effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021; and ADOPT administrative revisions to the
Board of Retirement Regulations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
See 'Background' below.
BACKGROUND:
At its October 23, 2019 meeting, the Retirement Board reviewed and accepted the actuary’s valuation
report for the year ending December 31, 2018 and adopted the recommended employer and employee
contribution rates, which will become effective on July 1, 2020. A copy of the December 31, 2018
Actuarial Valuation can be found on CCCERA’s website at www.cccera.org under the Actuarial

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Attached are the rates to be used effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 submitted for adoption by
the County Board of Supervisors by the Contra Costa County Employees’ Retirement Association.
Please note the following:
The rates are effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
The rates are before employer subvention, if any, of the employee contribution. The
rates quoted here are the employer required rates without taking into consideration
any employer subvention of employee contributions. A convenient methodology for
adding subvention is included on page 20 of the attached document. Note that
subvention is not always permitted for PEPRA members.
The rates are before any increase in employee rate to pay a portion of the employer
contribution. If an employee’s rate needs to be increased to pay a portion of the
employer contribution, both employee and employer rates would need to be adjusted
accordingly. A convenient methodology for adding subvention is included on page
20 of the attached document.
Also attached are both proposed and redlined versions of the administrative revisions to the Board of
Retirement Regulations, which were adopted by the Board of Retirement on October 23, 2019.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Rates will not reflect those adopted by the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Board and
revisions to the Board of Retirement Regulations will not be approved by the Board of Supervisors.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION
SUBVENTION
All rates are shown as a percent of payroll.
Employee contribution rates vary depending upon their tier and age at entry. To compute the exact
subvention percent for each employee, do the following:
Employee rate – Decrease the employee’s rate by the subvention percent (i.e. 25%, 50%, etc.).
Employer rate – Increase the employer’s rate by a percent of the employee’s decrease using the
applicable refundability factor (found on Exhibits A and B):
EXAMPLE FOR COST GROUP #3 LEGACY MEMBERS:
If the subvention percent is 25%, and
the employee’s rate is 6.00%,
Employee rates should be decreased by 1.50% (25% × 6.00%)
The employer rate should be increased by 1.4340% (1.50% × 0.9560)
Please note that for PEPRA members, subvention is generally not permitted. The standard under
Gov. Code §7522.30(a) is that employees pay at least 50 percent of normal costs and that employers not
pay any of the required employee contribution, but there are some exceptions. Gov. Code §7522.30(f)
allows the terms (regarding the employee’s required contribution) of a contract, including a memorandum
of understanding, that is in effect on January 1, 2013, to continue through the length of a contract. This
means that it is possible that an employer will subvent a portion of a PEPRA member’s required
contribution until the expiration date of the current contract, so long as it has been determined that the
contract has been impaired.
CAUTION – these rates are for employer subvention of up to one-half the member contribution under
Gov. Code §31581.1, NOT employer pick-up of employee contribution rates. When an employer
subvents, the contribution subvented is not placed in the member’s account and is therefore not available
to the member as a refund. For this reason, the employer pays the contribution at a discount (i.e.
“Refundability Factor”).
Employer pick-ups of employee contributions are those made under Gov. Code §31581.2 and Internal
Revenue Code §414 (h)(2) for the sole purpose of deferring income tax. These contributions are added to
the member’s account, are available to the member as a refund and are considered by CCCERA as part of
the member’s compensation for retirement purposes.
EMPLOYEE PAYMENT OF EMPLOYER COST
There are several reasons why the attached contribution rates may need to be adjusted to increase the
employee portion including the following:
Gov. Code §31631 allows for members to pay all or part of the employer contributions.
Gov. Code §31639.95 allows for Safety members to pay a portion of the employer cost for the “3% at 50”
enhanced benefit.
Gov. Code §7522.30(c) requires that an employee’s contribution rate be at least equal to that of similarly
situated employees.
Page 21
Gov. Code §7522.30(e) allows the employee contributions to be more than one-half of the normal cost
rate if the increase has been agreed to through the collective bargaining process.
If you need to increase the employee contribution rate for any reason, you will need to adjust both
employee and employer rates as follows:
Employee rate – Increase the employee’s rate by the desired percent of payroll.
Employer rate – Decrease the employer’s rate by a percent of the cost-sharing percent of payroll
using the applicable refundability factor:
EXAMPLE FOR COST GROUP #11 LEGACY MEMBERS:
If the required increase in the employee rate is 8.0%,
Employee rates should be increased by 8.0%.
The employer rate should be decreased by 7.6944% (8.0% × 0.9618)
PREPAYMENT DISCOUNT FACTOR FOR 2020-21
Employer Contribution Prepayment Program & Discount Factor for 2020-21 is 0.9696
If you are currently participating in the prepayment program and wish to continue, you do not need to do
anything other than prepay the July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 contributions on or before
July 31, 2020. If you wish to start participating, please contact the Accounting Department at CCCERA
by March 31, 2020.
The discount factor is calculated assuming the prepayment will be received on July 31 in accordance with
Gov. Code §31582(b) in lieu of 12 equal payments due at the end of each month in accordance with Gov.
Code §31582(a). The discount factor for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 will be 0.9696
based on the interest assumption of 7.00% per annum. It is calculated by discounting each of the 12 equal
payments back to the date that the prepayment is made and is the sum of the discount factors shown in the
table below divided by 12. Each of the discount factors below is based on how many months early the
payment is made.
Payment Number Number of Months
Payment is Made Early Discount Factor
1 0 1.0000
2 1 0.9944
3 2 0.9888
4 3 0.9832
5 4 0.9777

9 8 0.9559
10 9 0.9505
11 10 0.9452

IV. CONTRIBUTIONS AND REPORTING
1. Leave of Absence
When a leave of absence without pay is less than a full calendar month, the full
monthly contribution, if available from the member’s salary, shall be deducted
from the member’s earnable compensation and service credit shall be given for a
full calendar month. If the amount of the member’s salary for the applicable

month for the previous month’s payroll and shall be accompanied by member and
employer contributions. If the tenth of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, the
due date shall be the last working day before the tenth. Reports, which are
unreadable or incorrect, shall not be accepted and shall be returned to the employer.

70% of its payroll during the same period in the preceding year, the Board may
investigate the cause. Whenever the employer’s reportable payroll drops to a
level which is lower than 50% of its payroll during the same period in the
preceding year, the Board shall investigate the cause. If the Board determines that
the cause is other than temporary it shall determine the amount of contributions
due from the employer to continue paying its share of any unfunded liability.
This amount shall then be due from the employer in addition to any contributions
made on the reduced payroll.
4. Employer Certification
Each report as specified in Section IV.2 shall include or be accompanied by a
certification, under penalty of perjury, as to its accuracy. The certification shall
be made by a duly authorized representative of the employer.

V. SERVICE
1. Leave of Absence
When a member returns from a medical leave of absence without pay, the
member shall receive credit for up to 12 months of the leave time if the member
pays an amount equal to what he or she would have paid, including any amount
that would have been paid by the member’s employer on the member’s behalf
(i.e., subvented), had he or she not taken the leave together with the interest that
such amount would have earned had it been on deposit. Calculation of the cost of
the leave purchase and the method of payment for such leave shall be as provided
in Gov. Code Section 31646.
2. Prior Service
In establishing the length of prior service for any member entitled to credit
therefore, official payroll records or other official records shall be controlling. In

affidavits of fellow employees or such other sworn evidence as the Board
determines to be pertinent.

Service of less than 200 workdays in any one calendar year shall be credited on
the pro-rata basis of 250 workdays per year.
Prior service shall include all service for the employer and all service while on
leave from the employer for military duty, which is prior to the establishment of
the retirement system.

The following provisions govern the use of sick leave credit toward service credit
at retirement under Government Code Sections 31641.01 as adopted by the

representative of the employer.
Board Regulations
10
B. The Association shall convert the total sick leave into years and fractions of
a year using the following equivalencies:
( i) For firefighters, accumulated sick leave hours at retirement shall be
divided by 2,912 (average number of working hours per year for a
firefighter).
( ii) For all other members, the accumulated sick leave hours at retirement
shall be divided by 2,000 hours (average number of working hours per
year).
C. The formula used to determine the sick leave service credit value shall be
the same as used for the member’s service category at the time of
retirement.
4. Service Purchase

contributions that were not otherwise paid by members as a result of a transfer of
excess surplus funds for that year.

31641.2), prior nonmembership service (Gov. Code Sec. 31641.5), prior military

Board Regulations
11
service (Gov. Code Sec. 31652), and the member elects to make such purchase or
redeposit in installment payments, the following shall govern:

computed by dividing the amount of the installment payment by the total cost
of purchase or redeposit, and multiplying the resulting percent by the total
service being purchased or redeposited.

installment payment as it is received and shall be applied to the most recent

installment payment will be deemed and credited as after-tax member

no further installments shall be accepted. Any benefit payable thereafter shall
recognize or include service purchased or redeposited and account balances to
date.

Code Sec. 31646, prior public service under Gov. Code Sec. 31641.2, and
prior nonmembership service under Gov. Code Sec. 31641.5), the member
shall be eligible to make installment payments so long as he or she continues
to be actively employed.
As for service purchased under Government Code Sections 31641.5 and
31646, such payments may be made by lump sum or by installment payments
over a period not to excess the length of time for which the member has
elected to receive credit, in the manner otherwise provided for in this
paragraph 6.
As for service purchased under Government Code Section 31641.2, such
payments may be made during active employment as a member by lump sum
or by installment payments over a period not to exceed five years.

contributed during the same time if the employee had been under Tier III, together
with interest as defined in Section 31472.1, subject to Section V, paragraph 8.

VII. NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE AND BONA FIDE SEPARATIONS
Normal Retirement Age
For purposes of applying the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (“PPA”) and complying
with other applicable tax-related laws (such as restrictions on in-service
distributions), effective July 1, 2007, the “Normal Retirement Age” for CCCERA
members shall be the age set forth in CERL retirement formula for an unreduced
benefit that applies to each CCCERA member immediately preceding the effective
date of his or her retirement from a CCCERA employer. For example, the Normal
Retirement Age for a member who earns retirement service immediately before
retirement under a “3% at 50” retirement formula (Gov. Code section 31664.1) is 50
years of age. The Normal Retirement Age for a member who earns retirement service
immediately before retirement under a “2% at 55” retirement formula (Gov. Code
section 31676.16) is 55 years of age.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Normal Retirement Age for CCCERA members shall
in no event be earlier than (i) age 55 for CCCERA members who are not Qualified
Public Safety Employees (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 72(t)(10)(B))
immediately prior to their retirement; and (ii) age 50 for CCCERA members who are
Qualified Public Safety Employees.
The Board may change or further refine its determination of Normal Retirement Age
as described herein in order to comply with any rules or regulations of the Internal
Revenue Service or other applicable law. The Board’s current determinations of
Normal Retirement Age are based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in
Board of Retirement Resolutions 2007-1 and 2007-2.
Bona Fide Separation from Service
A) In order to comply with tax law restrictions on in-service distributions, a
member who retires at an age younger than Normal Retirement Age, as defined
herein, may not enter into an agreement, either oral or written, prior to the date the
member's retirement commences, to be reemployed while retired by the same
CCCERA employer, regardless of the length of the member's break in service after
retirement. The member must acknowledge in writing to CCCERA at the time of
retirement that the member has been informed of these requirements and limitations
on post-retirement employment and that no prearrangement to be reemployed while
retired exists.
B) A member who retires at an age younger than Normal Retirement Age, as
defined herein, must have at least a continuous 90-day break in service from the date
of the member's last day of employment prior to being reemployed while retired by
the member’s prior CCCERA employer.
Board Regulations
15
C) If a member is reemployed without compliance with subsections (A) and (B)
above, the retired member's retirement benefits from CCCERA must cease as soon as
practicable upon discovery by CCCERA and will not resume until the member has a
bona fide separation from service or reaches Normal Retirement Age, whichever
occurs first.
D) The definitions, limitations and requirements contained herein shall be
provided to every CCCERA member who inquires about retirement.
VIII. WITHDRAWALS
1. Discontinued Service
The service of a member will be considered “discontinued” under Gov. Code
Section 31628 only if the member has actually terminated employment and
either the termination is due to lay-off or the member is not reemployed by that
employer for a period of 45 days.
The service of a member will not be considered discontinued if the member
continues to work for the employer or for another participating employer, even
if the member’s work schedule is below the minimum number of hours required
to qualify for coverage. In these cases interest will continue to be credited to
the member's account.
2. Account Withdrawals
All requests to withdraw an account must be in writing.
All payments of an account balance shall be in the form of either or both of the
