2009 BYRON MAC WORK PLAN
Dump Day:In May Byron MAC held its annual Dump Day. The disposal company brought multiple
dumpsters, general garbage, tree/wood, metal and a tire bin was added this year. There is no charge however
donations were accepted. Flyers had been sent to Byron residents. It is a wonderful opportunity for the
community to do a clean up.
Code Enforcement: Byron MAC has a representative in the monthly meeting with Code Enforcement held
at the Supervisor’s Office to discuss code enforcement issues in the community. Complaints of the
community are taken to this Board. Mostly junkyard conditions were investigated and resolved.
The Great Trail: A request was made by Linda Fiack of Delta Protection for participation of the Chair to
act as a technical advisor for the Byron area. This will link Martinez with Stockton in one trail for biking
and hiking.
Weed Abatement: The Byron MAC members worked with the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District to
pinpoint parcels in the Byron area that needed weed abatement.
Park Dedication Funds: The Byron MAC has begun to move forward with efforts to mirror actions by the
Knightsen TAC and recommend allocation of the Park Dedication Funds from the Byron area for use on the
Excelsior School campus.
Camino Diablo Speed Survey: The Byron MAC worked with the Contra Costa Public Works Department,
California Highway Patrol and the community regarding the portion of Camino Diablo that was previously
designated as 25mph. Through many discussions the group decided to move forward with a speed survey
which in turn allowed the California Highway Patrol to ticket in this area. The speed limit is now 35 mph.
