This newsletter was distributed to 8000 house holds twice during the year, providing important information to 25,000 residents. The Keller Canyon mitigation funds supported the newsletter costs and we were grateful for the grant funding. Residents have benefited greatly from the newsletter content including safety and county information, services that are available in Bay Point and other topics of help related to our community and its residents. This bilingual newsletter is very well received by our community and it is an excellent communication method to all our residents. In January 2009 Supervisor Glover merged the Project Area Committee with the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council. In February 2009 Maureen Toms conducted a Redevelopment educational program for MAC Board members. This was well received by MAC board members and helped set the stage for redevelopment work in 2009. In April, June and July 2009 town hall meetings were held in Bay Point by our 5th District Supervisor, Federal Glover and Contra Costa County employee’s and consultants. The meetings covered public safety, Willow Pass Road and Bailey Road safety improvements, code enforcement and topics relevant to the Bay Point area. In May 2009 Bay Point hosted their second annual “Spring Derby” parade and festival. The BPMAC members were very active in helping on the logistics of this parade and promoting the event. The community turned out in large numbers all along the parade route on Willow Pass Road and it was very encouraging to see children and adults out in large numbers to participate in this annual event. During 2009 MAC board members attended several Joint MAC meetings at various locations within our county. The information presented on County programs assisted members in helping our community members understand what is available to them in terms of low income weather striping, and loans to code enforcement updates. Learning 2 about other areas within our county is interesting and meeting board members from other areas helps us to understand the challenges faced throughout the county and not just our own small area. In 2010 Bay Point will host a joint MAC meeting and we are looking forward to welcoming officials to our community. National Night Out celebration was supported by the Bay Point MAC in August. In November 2009 the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council hosted a residential clean up supported by Allied Waste Company. Eva Garcia spearheaded this effort and the following board members participated; Zumwalt, Stevenson, and Magleby. Each month the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council presents Outstanding Citizens of the Month awards to deserving residents of Bay Point. This is very well received by both our residents and public servants alike, who provide service to our community day in and day out. In 2009 the BPMAC worked with our code enforcement officer cleaning up junk yard conditions and ensuring our community was kept safe. Charles Tremaine and Sterling Stevenson sought Board input on the top areas for improvement in Bay Point and are working closely with our Supervisor and Code enforcement. Terrilyn Kopitar, Charles Tremaine and Debra Mason were our representatives to the CAP ensuring communication from our chemical companies and the Bay Point Community. Gloria Magleby spear headed the Bay Point Pride organization and represents the Chamber of Commerce, Historical Society, Library, and the Ambrose Park and Recreation department, being the MAC’s eyes and ears from these important groups within our community. During 2009 BPMAC members attended Annual Training for Advisory Bodies to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. Members of the BPMAC received the required in person or video training on the Brown Act and Better Government Ordinance. Attached is a list of our 2009 meetings and the council members who were both present and absent. Our community is made strong by the many community organization within Bay Point and the members of the Bay Point MAC who give of themselves unselfishly, helping others and ensuring the quality of life in Bay Point is what our residents seek.
