Health Services
The Shelter in Place order has done what it is intended to do. California was the first to have known community spread. Though
cases are still rising in the Bay Area and southern California, northern California has been able to flatten the curve.
In the 45 days since the shelter in place, the county has issued nine separate health orders addressing everything from sheltering
in place to face coverings, with a tenth order to come out tomorrow. The County has supported media interviews and publication
of orders with an entirely new website launched for information and a series of FAQ’s (frequently asked questions) available to
the public, covering such areas as nursing, schools, sports, recreational activities, business activities and government operations.
Contra Costa has about 1,100 hospital beds and doubled the number of beds within the hospitals or buildings adjacent to the
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, increasing hospital capacity by 60 %. Ventilator capacity is increased by five-fold. Three
floors of the hospital provide negative pressure rooms.
In the jail, all incoming detainees are isolated and monitored for 14 day. Training is ongoing for healthcare providers to use point
of care ultrasound for Covid-19 diagnosis. The behavioral health clinics have remained open as well as remote delivery of
services provided by over 250 clinical staff. Behavioral health staff have been making home delivery of medications and doing
food checks to check on clients sheltered in place. Staff has been working on providing a 60 to 90 supply medication and
working with manufacturers to ensure on hand supplies of some atypical medications. Telehealth has been used extensively. The
mobile health vans are in action, offering mobile testing as some sites. Alternative care sites have been opened. The Emergency
Operations Center has fulfilled 1600 requests for resources such as PPE, ventilators, tents.
An upcoming screening program and dashboard means progress. To date over 11,500 tests have been completed, with a goal of
increasing the number to almost 2400 per day. Several area hospitals have been able to begin on-site testing, and the standards for
testing has been loosened, in the health centers in San Pablo, Pittsburg, Antioch, Concord. Three more sites will be opened by the
state for appointment-only testing. A strike team has been formed to test at skilled nursing facilities and congregate living
faciites are being monitored.
Yesterday the county received emergency use authorization from the FDA for antibody testing kits and a machine is available
within the public health lab. A strategy is being developed to use those. The number of testers and tracers has increased from 14
to 79. Detailed contact tracing has been conducted on 720 cases of the virus, with plans to get to 100 testers.
The Emergency Operations Center has been serving as the command center for Covid-19 response, with a 1-800 number that has
fielded nearly 7000 calls. Public Information Officers have provided media interviews and managed a Covid-19 website to
disseminate information for the public as well as pushing out notifications on social media platforms. The telehealth system has
managed around 26,000 outpatient appointments.
Charitable foundations such as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which provided $500,00 have been of great help in providing
grant support to local non-profits across the county, mostly focused on food distribution and desperate need financial support.
Community donation sites for the public to support healthcare needs with the donation of PPE’s have been set up.
Ms. Roth thanked the thousands of individuals working on hundreds of activities to support the community safety, health and
wellness. The Fire Chief, the Director of Health and Human Services, Department of Conservation and Development, law
enforcement and community based organizations are all working together to promote a whole community strategy toward a goal
of all residents living safely, living healthy and living well.
County Administrator
Last week at the state legislature there was a meeting and one of the speakers for that committee was from the UCLA Anderson
forecast group. Their forecast was that statewide by the end of this year, the unemployment rate will be 16.5%, which is a
number we are in the seen since the great recession back in 2008 through 2011. They also forecasted that it will take about 18
months before we would be able to return to the 2019 employment levels. And finally, they expressed real concerns that the
pandemic could return either this fall or subsequently in 2021, depending upon what steps we take.
The six Bay Area County Administrators, the same administrators associated with the six health officers that we talked about,
Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Alameda and us as well as San Francisco were on a conference call yesterday. One thing being
considered is hiring one firm to examine how best for the cunty to respond and recover county operations and contemplate how
does the county continue to operate under the new environment we will be in. There will be a need within county offices to
provide for social distancing and protect both the employees and the public they serve.
The county has deployed about 1500 laptops to employees to facilitate working from home and is considering how to continue
that going forward. For people returning to work the county has ordered and received 20,000 masks, that will be distributed with
the assistance of the labor partners
The Governor issued a new order dealing with a meal delivery program called Restaurants Delivered Home Meals for Seniors.
Staff was informed of this late Friday afternoon (April 24th). The program proposes to deliver three meals a day, the maximum
cost associated with it, which will be reimbursed about 75% by FEMA, 19% by the state and 6% by the county, is $66 per day
per person. Puzzling about this program is that the FEMA grant says it will only run through May 10 th, and the County is just
getting to set up this week. At 6% county cost there would be an expenditure of a few thousand dollars by the County, expected
to be covered by CARE Act funding. How precisely the program will function is not yet clear, a group is meeting today to work
on that. The framework provided by the state requires that a background check be completed on anyone making the meal
deliveries to ensure the safety of the participants as well as other critieria in regard to identification of recipients and their
income being at or less than 400 % of the poverty level. The County hopes to have a number of factors set up and managed by
the end of the week, while waiting for further descriptions from the state. It is awkward that it is not known if the state intends to
extend the program past the May 10 2020 date.
In-Home Support Service workers, 9,000 providers, are entitled to are entitled to a prorated share of the 80 hours of sick leave
that is provided by the Federal Government under the Families First Act. That again is also an area that could be partially
covered by our CARE Act funding, the County share of cost is about about $7.2 million.
As authorized by the Board last week, advance funding for the month of May has been provided to the community based
organizations (CBO) that contract with the County, and an number of contracts were amended to address new billing rates and
authorizing advance payment to direct service providers.
A test run has been performed determining the best solution to have citizens call in to the Board of Supervisors virtual meetings
rather than having the clerk read the public comment emails. The solution would be through AT&T services which would
provide a toll free number for people to call. The program can manage a queue of a thousand incoming calls. AT&T would act
as gatekeeper for the calls and a transcript will be made of all the call activity. The number and code would be added to the
agenda starting with the May 12 agenda. The emails sent by the public will still be included into the record just not read aloud.
D. 6 CONSIDER reports of Board members.
Supervisor Glover thanked all the people who delivered prayers for him five years ago when he received a kidney and

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Resolution of Necessity Hearing for the Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement project, Concord area.
BACKGROUND:
A. Proposed Project
Contra Costa County proposes to replace the Marsh Drive Bridge over the Walnut Creek Channel
located in Concord. The bridge is located on Marsh Drive approximately 0.2 miles west of Solano Way.
The bridge is jointly owned by Contra Costa County and City of Concord. The project is federally
funded and administered by Caltrans through the Highway Bridge Program. The new replacement
bridge is proposed to be a multi-span concrete structure and will be wider as well as slightly longer than
the existing bridge. The Project will bring the bridge crossing of Walnut Creek and the roadway
approaches up to current standard. The replacement bridge will meet current applicable Contra Costa
County, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA), and Caltrans design criteria and standards.
On November 19, 2020, this Board APPROVED the proposed project and ADOPTED the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program for this project in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act.
In order to proceed with the project, it is necessary for the County to exercise its power of eminent
domain. Pursuant to Section 1245.235 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notice was given to all persons
listed on the attached Exhibit “A” whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized County
Assessment Roll. This notice consisted of sending by first-class and certified mail on April 10, 2020, a
Notice of Intention to Adopt a Resolution of Necessity which notified the owners that a hearing is
scheduled for April 28, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. in the Board's Chambers at 651 Pine Street, Martinez,
California at which time they may appear to be heard on the matters referred to in the notice.
B. Scope of Hearing Per C.C.P. Section 1245.235
Public Interest and Necessity require the proposed project. 1.
The existing Marsh Creek Road Bridge was originally built in 1938 as a 6-span concrete slab bridge
approximately 209 feet in length. The bridge was lengthened in the 1960’s to its current configuration of
10-spans, approximately 325 feet in length. The bridge is a narrow two lane structure, 34 feet wide,
accommodating one travel lane in each direction with narrow shoulders and sidewalks. The bridge has
been identified as seismically and structurally deficient due to seismic instability and significant deck
cracking. Caltrans has determined the bridge has a sufficiency rating of 29.4 out of 100. A rating of less
than 50 makes it eligible for federal bridge replacement funds. In addition to the seismic and structural
deficiencies, the bridge has insufficient width and scour concerns. Additionally, the structure is a major
flow impediment for Walnut Creek at the project site as it significantly obstructs the 100 year flow. At
80 years old, this structure has reached the end of its useful service life and requires replacement. The
new structure will be approximately 20 feet wider to sufficiently accommodate pedestrian and bicycle
traffic as well as vehicle traffic. The replacement bridge will provide approximately 7 feet additional
clearance to flows in Walnut Creek improving hydraulics under the bridge and reducing the amount of
debris collected at the bridge during storm events compared to the exiting bridge. The proposed bridge
will be designed to correct all of the existing bridge deficiencies and handle the seismic loads at the
project location.
2. The project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the
greatest public good and the least private injury .
In order to ensure the Project was designed to be feasible, effective, and appropriate for the project site
an alternative analysis was performed. During the project development process, multiple alignment
alternatives were investigated for the bridge replacement. The alternatives ranged from reconstructing
the replacement bridge on the existing alignment to realignments on each side of the existing bridge.
The option that best balanced all of the design criteria including cost, impacts to surrounding facilities,
private land and traffic, design speed and safety, was one that realigned the road and bridge slightly to
the north. In its final configuration the new bridge will accommodate two lanes of vehicular traffic with
shoulders, sidewalk on the north side, and a separated 10’ wide pedestrian/bike trail on the south side.
The Project will tie into the existing Iron Horse Trail on the southeastern side of the bridge and extend
the Trail on the new bridge to the west, crossing over Walnut Creek. The Project will utilize staged
construction and will maintain two lanes of vehicular traffic (one in each direction) as well as one
pedestrian facility during each phase of construction. To accommodate the staged construction and in
order to improve the roadway alignment at the bridge, there will be approximately 400 to 500 linear feet
of roadway approach reconstruction work at each end of the bridge.
3. The property sought to be acquired is/are necessary for the project,
The property interests sought for this project are necessary for the replacement of the Marsh Drive
Bridge, and reconstruction of approximately 900 feet of roadway. All efforts have been made to reduce
physical and operational impacts to adjacent properties both during and after construction. The project
cannot be constructed as planned without the acquisition of these property interests.
4. The offer of compensation required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has
been made to the owner or owners of record.
The County, through the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department, has made an offer of just
compensation to the owner of record for the rights required for this project. The offer was based on an
appraisal of the fair market value of the property rights being acquired. In this case, efforts were made to
acquire each required property or property right through negotiated purchase and sale instead of
condemnation. Attempts to negotiate a settlement involved discussions, and in some cases meetings, with
the owners of record and/or their representative. But, the negotiations were not successful, requiring the
County to proceed with the adoption of this Resolution of Necessity.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will be unable to acquire the property rights necessary for the project.

Subject:Resolution of Necessity Hearing for the Danville Boulevard/Orchard Court Complete Street Improvements project,
Alamo area.
BACKGROUND:
Proposed Project
The Danville Boulevard/Orchard Court Complete Streets Improvements Project (the “Project”) includes
construction of a roundabout and sidewalk improvements at the Danville Boulevard/Orchard Court
intersection, in the Alamo area of unincorporated Contra Costa County. The purpose of the Project is to
improve traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian safety on Danville Boulevard, between Jackson Way and Stone
Valley Road, in the Alamo area, by installing complete streets improvements. The Project includes curb
extensions, curb ramps, and entry medians at the roundabout to reduce vehicle speeds and improve
pedestrian crossings. Sidewalks will be reconstructed in the Project area, along with curb extensions and
curb ramps, in order to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and to accommodate
existing mature trees in the sidewalk.
The Project will reduce lanes of vehicle travel, from two lanes to one lane, at the roundabout
approaches, which will result in decreased vehicle speeds as vehicles enter the roundabout. This and
other aspects of the Project will improve vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian safety.
On September 18, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved the Project and determined the Project was
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under the Class 1(c) Categorical
Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. The CEQA notice of
exemption was filed on September 19, 2018.
In order to proceed with the Project, it is necessary for the County to exercise its power of eminent
domain. Pursuant to Section 1245.235 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notice was given to all persons
listed on the attached Exhibit “A” whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized county
assessment roll. This notice consisted of sending by first-class and certified mail on April 10th, 2020, a
Notice of Intention to Adopt a Resolution of Necessity, which notified the owners that a hearing is
scheduled for April 28, 2020, at 9:30 a.m., in the Board's Chambers at 651 Pine Street, Martinez,
California. Those notices indicated that, at the above time and place, the owners may appear to be heard
on the matters referred to in the notice.
B. Scope of Hearing and Findings Per C.C.P. Section 1245.245
Public interest and necessity require the Project. 1.
With average daily traffic of approximately 20,000 vehicles per day, and with one of the highest rates of
pedestrians and bicyclists within the County, this principal arterial - Danville Boulevard - is ranked in
the County’s top 20 corridors with the highest number of collisions in the past five years. When the
Project was being planned, it was determined that the collision rate at the intersection was
approximately 2.5 times the statewide average; and, at this intersection, there had been at least three
pedestrian and 13 bicycle collisions in the 10 prior to the planning phase of the Project.
The Project will include the installation of a roundabout at the intersection of Danville Boulevard and
Orchard Court, which will improve safety at this location. The Project also will shorten pedestrian
crossings across roadways, and it will reduce congestion at this intersection by keeping vehicles moving
through the intersection. The Project will repair or replace sidewalks within the Project area, some of
which have lifted and are impairing access to persons with disabilities. The Project also is a complete
streets project that will result in enhanced aesthetics and the greening of Danville Boulevard. The
Project aims to improve safety through the corridor for all users by improving sidewalks to meet ADA
requirements and reducing conflicts at the Danville Boulevard/Orchard Court intersection. This will help
residents, businesses, and customers of those businesses to use active modes of transportation.
2. The project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the
greatest public good and the least private injury .
The Project, as planned and located, will achieve the Project purposes, and will require a partial
acquisition of adjacent properties – the acquisition of both permanent and temporary rights as described
in Appendix A. The acquired areas are shown in the aerial included with this board order. The Project, as
planned and located, avoids the partial or full acquisition of any buildings, and it will not displace any
businesses during Project construction. The Project design and alignment ensure that the Project
purposes will be achieved, including improving vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian safety, improving ADA
access, and enhancing or greening the Project area. During Project construction, best management
practices will be implemented to avoid unnecessary impacts to residents, businesses, and the traveling
public. At least one lane of travel in each direction will be open to vehicle travel during Project
construction. Emergency vehicles will have access through the Project area at all times.
Alternatives to the Project were evaluated and rejected, either because the alternatives would not meet
the Project purposes, or, if they did meet the Project purposes, because the alternatives would result in
significantly greater impacts to property owners and occupants and the traveling public. The first
alternative that was evaluated involved shifting the Project footprint southwest. However, that alignment
would have required the realignment of Orchard Court, and the partial or full acquisition of a building
that is occupied by existing businesses and an at-grade parking area below the building (a portion of the
building is constructed over the parking area). Another alternative that was evaluated involved shifting
the Project footprint further southwest to avoid these impacts, but that alignment would not have
achieved the objectives of the Project. Under that alignment, Orchard Court would not have fed into the
roundabout, and that alignment would have created conflicts between vehicles using the roundabout and
vehicles bypassing the roundabout. That alignment would have created safety hazards because of those
conflicts. Therefore, alternatives that were considered would have resulted in substantially less public
good and substantially greater private injury.
For all of these reasons, the Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible
with the greatest public good and the least private injury.
3. The properties sought to be acquired are necessary for the Project.
The property interests described in Appendix A to the Resolution of Necessity are necessary for the
construction of the Project, as planned and designed. All efforts have been made to reduce the physical
and operational impacts to adjacent properties, both during and after construction of the Project. The
Project cannot be constructed as designed and planned without the acquisition of the property interests
described in Appendix A to the Resolution of Necessity. The take areas also are shown in the aerial
attached to the board order.
4. The offer of compensation required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has
been made to the owners of record .
The County, through the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department, has made an offer of just
compensation to the owners of record for the rights required for this project. The offers were based on
appraisals of the fair market value of the property rights being acquired. In this case, efforts were made
appraisals of the fair market value of the property rights being acquired. In this case, efforts were made
to acquire each required property or property right through negotiated purchase and sale instead of
condemnation. Attempts to negotiate a settlement involved discussions, and in some cases meetings, with
the owners of record and/or their representatives. But the negotiations have not been successful,
requiring the County to proceed with the adoption of this Resolution of Necessity to proceed with the
Project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will be unable to acquire the property rights necessary for the Project by eminent domain.

CLERK'S ADDENDUM
Public commentary was received from: Stephanie; Marc Joffe; Andy (attached).
Health Services
The Shelter in Place order has done what it is intended to do. California was the first to have known
community spread. Though cases are still rising in the Bay Area and southern California, northern
California has been able to flatten the curve.
In the 45 days since the shelter in place, the county has issued nine separate health orders addressing
everything from sheltering in place to face coverings, with a tenth order to come out tomorrow. The
County has supported media interviews and publication of orders with an entirely new website launched
for information and a series of FAQ’s (frequently asked questions) available to the public, covering such
areas as nursing, schools, sports, recreational activities, business activities and government operations.
Contra Costa has about 1,100 hospital beds and doubled the number of beds within the hospitals or
buildings adjacent to the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, increasing hospital capacity by 60 %.
Ventilator capacity is increased by five-fold. Three floors of the hospital provide negative pressure
rooms.
In the jail, all incoming detainees are isolated and monitored for 14 day. Training is ongoing for
healthcare providers to use point of care ultrasound for Covid-19 diagnosis. The behavioral health clinics
have remained open as well as remote delivery of services provided by over 250 clinical staff.
Behavioral health staff have been making home delivery of medications and doing food checks to check
on clients sheltered in place. Staff has been working on providing a 60 to 90 supply medication and
working with manufacturers to ensure on hand supplies of some atypical medications. Telehealth has
been used extensively. The mobile health vans are in action, offering mobile testing as some
sites. Alternative care sites have been opened. The Emergency Operations Center has fulfilled 1600
requests for resources such as PPE, ventilators, tents.
An upcoming screening program and dashboard means progress. To date over 11,500 tests have been
completed, with a goal of increasing the number to almost 2400 per day. Several area hospitals have
been able to begin on-site testing, and the standards for testing has been loosened, in the health centers
in San Pablo, Pittsburg, Antioch, Concord. Three more sites will be opened by the state for
appointment-only testing. A strike team has been formed to test at skilled nursing facilities and
congregate living faciites are being monitored.
Yesterday the county received emergency use authorization from the FDA for antibody testing kits and a
machine is available within the public health lab. A strategy is being developed to use those. The
number of testers and tracers has increased from 14 to 79. Detailed contact tracing has been conducted
on 720 cases of the virus, with plans to get to 100 testers.
The Emergency Operations Center has been serving as the command center for Covid-19 response, with
a 1-800 number that has fielded nearly 7000 calls. Public Information Officers have provided media
interviews and managed a Covid-19 website to disseminate information for the public as well as pushing
out notifications on social media platforms. The telehealth system has managed around 26,000 outpatient
appointments.
Charitable foundations such as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which provided $500,00 have been of
great help in providing grant support to local non-profits across the county, mostly focused on food
distribution and desperate need financial support. Community donation sites for the public to support
healthcare needs with the donation of PPE’s have been set up.
Ms. Roth thanked the thousands of individuals working on hundreds of activities to support the
community safety, health and wellness. The Fire Chief, the Director of Health and Human Services,
Department of Conservation and Development, law enforcement and community based organizations
are all working together to promote a whole community strategy toward a goal of all residents living
safely, living healthy and living well.

Last week at the state legislature there was a meeting and one of the speakers for that committee was
from the UCLA Anderson forecast group. Their forecast was that statewide by the end of this year, the
unemployment rate will be 16.5%, which is a number we are in the seen since the great recession back
in 2008 through 2011. They also forecasted that it will take about 18 months before we would be able to
return to the 2019 employment levels. And finally, they expressed real concerns that the pandemic could
return either this fall or subsequently in 2021, depending upon what steps we take.
The six Bay Area County Administrators, the same administrators associated with the six health officers
that we talked about, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Alameda and us as well as San Francisco were on
a conference call yesterday. One thing being considered is hiring one firm to examine how best for the
cunty to respond and recover county operations and contemplate how does the county continue to
operate under the new environment we will be in. There will be a need within county offices to provide
for social distancing and protect both the employees and the public they serve.
The county has deployed about 1500 laptops to employees to facilitate working from home and is
considering how to continue that going forward. For people returning to work the county has ordered
and received 20,000 masks, that will be distributed with the assistance of the labor partners
The Governor issued a new order dealing with a meal delivery program called Restaurants Delivered
Home Meals for Seniors. Staff was informed of this late Friday afternoon (April 24 th). The program
proposes to deliver three meals a day, the maximum cost associated with it, which will be reimbursed
about 75% by FEMA, 19% by the state and 6% by the county, is $66 per day per person. Puzzling about
this program is that the FEMA grant says it will only run through May 10 th, and the County is just
getting to set up this week. At 6% county cost there would be an expenditure of a few thousand dollars
by the County, expected to be covered by CARE Act funding. How precisely the program will function
is not yet clear, a group is meeting today to work on that. The framework provided by the state requires
that a background check be completed on anyone making the meal deliveries to ensure the safety of the
participants as well as other critieria in regard to identification of recipients and their income being at or
less than 400 % of the poverty level. The County hopes to have a number of factors set up and managed
by the end of the week, while waiting for further descriptions from the state. It is awkward that it is not
known if the state intends to extend the program past the May 10 2020 date.
In-Home Support Service workers, 9,000 providers, are entitled to are entitled to a prorated share of the
80 hours of sick leave that is provided by the Federal Government under the Families First Act. That
again is also an area that could be partially covered by our CARE Act funding, the County share of cost
is about about $7.2 million.
As authorized by the Board last week, advance funding for the month of May has been provided to the
community based organizations (CBO) that contract with the County, and an number of contracts were
amended to address new billing rates and authorizing advance payment to direct service providers.
A test run has been performed determining the best solution to have citizens call in to the Board of
Supervisors virtual meetings rather than having the clerk read the public comment emails. The solution
would be through AT&T services which would provide a toll free number for people to call. The
program can manage a queue of a thousand incoming calls. AT&T would act as gatekeeper for the calls
and a transcript will be made of all the call activity. The number and code would be added to the agenda
starting with the May 12 agenda. The emails sent by the public will still be included into the record just
not read aloud.

D.5 COVID-19 Update#Agenda Item Your NameComments (1500 character limit)1D.5 Update on COVID-19 Stephanie Hello, I own a dog grooming business in Oakley, CA. While I have seen other salons remain open in contra costa county, I closed down during the stay at home order because I was originally told we are considered non essential. While I agree that we are non essential in short term, dogs without grooming for a length of time can cause them serious health issues that could have been avoided with maintenance of skin, coat, and nails. The main reason is the dog’s health, yet It is also tough seeing the big box pet stores staying open and continue to groom dogs while other small business grooming salons are suffering. My question is do we have to stay closed? The way I have always ran my salon was grooming one customers dog at a time by appointment only. I can and would follow strict guidelines needed during this time. I could have no contact with customers by not allowing any one inside the salon. My business is one at low risk being that we have very low contact with others, and would have no problem with a 6ft distance. The dogs are suffering with matted coats. nails that are getting way too long. I do understand vets can take care of some things but most are only taking in emergency cases. It’s upsetting to let a dog get neglected This in turn costing them tons in vet bills that could have been avoided. Please consider us essential as we have been closed too long at this point to where the dogs need us. 2D.5 Update on COVID-19 Marc JoffeThe level of information Contra Costa County provides on its COVID-19 dashboard is insufficient compared to best practice counties such as Marin, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Orange and San Diego. Specifically, you do not break down deaths by age group, race, sex or underlying condition. This makes it difficult for people in different demographics to assess their mortality risk. Further, Contra Costa County lags other counties outside California in disclosing deaths in nursing homes and assisted living facilities - portraying a lack of transparency called out in a recent East Bay Times op-ed. More data would likely confirm the reality we have seen in other states and countries, which is that the COVID-19 mortality rate among healthy individuals under fifty is virtually nil. This observation should trigger a conversation at the Board of Supervisors about exempting those in this demographic from the shelter at home order, especially if they don’t share a residence with more vulnerable individuals. While the Board’s shelter-at-home policy has undoubtedly reduced COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations, it is also devastating small businesses around the county, many of which will not be able to reopen when the lockdown ends. As a result, many jobs are being permanently lost. Unemployment results in suicide, depression and spousal abuse – and is thus, like the disease itself, a public health concern. Please relax the lockdown. Page 1 of 2
D.5 COVID-19 Update#Agenda Item Your NameComments (1500 character limit)3D.5 Update on COVID-19 AndyI am perplexed by Governor Newsome's and other municipalities who continue to say the Science is behind your decisions. When he announces numbers everyday he highlights two variables, % increase of cases and total deaths, but isn't it logical as we ramp up testing the numbers will go up? Coincidently the death rate % is going down. We originally were told to Shelter in place to save lives because our healthcare system would be overloaded, but in the Bay Area hospitals are not over loaded, quite the opposite Dr's and supplies are being given to other states and non essential healthcare workers are seeing job reductions. State of CA ICU's are at around 20%-25% capacity? We were told the death rate would be 2%+ plus Dr.'s at Stanford, Santa Clara and now LA county are finding the mortality rate below .05%. Please explain this strategy is better than herding the virus before next flu season? Waiting 12-18 months for a vaccine is not an option and most vaccines only have 25% success rate.Page 2 of 2

Subject:APPROVE the Alhambra Valley Road Realignment – West of Bear Creek Road Project) and take related actions
under CEQA.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this project is to restore two-way traffic and allow unimpeded traffic flow along a
segment of Alhambra Valley Road, which has been functioning with one-way reversing traffic due to
existing creek bank erosion on the south side of the road. The project consists of realigning the roadway
slightly to the north, away from Pinole Creek, and reconstructing the road with two 10-foot lanes and
two 4-foot shoulders.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/121 approving a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2020/21 funded by Senate
Bill 1 (SB1): The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account funds, and DIRECT staff to submit the list to the California Transportation Commission. (All
Districts)
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% allocation to the Road Fund from Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account program under
Senate Bill 1 (SB1) in the approximate amount of $16.4 million.
BACKGROUND:
California cities and counties are seeing a significant influx of new revenue to invest in the local street and
road system from Senate Bill 1 (Beall and Frazier), a landmark transportation funding package that was
signed by Governor Brown on April 28, 2017. This measure was in response to California’s significant
funding shortfall to maintain the state’s multimodal transportation network.
SB1 increased several taxes and fees to raise over $5 billion annually in new transportation revenues. SB1
also includes inflationary adjustments in the revenue to local agencies so that the purchasing power of the
funds does not decrease as it has in the past. SB1 prioritizes funding towards maintenance, rehabilitation
and safety improvements on state highways, local streets and roads, and bridges and to improve the state’s
trade corridors, transit, and active transportation facilities.

trade corridors, transit, and active transportation facilities.
SB1 Funds were available to cities and counties starting in FY 2017/2018 and are comprised of two parts -
an increase in the annual gas tax revenue that local agencies have historically been receiving and a new
funding source called Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) program funds. The
California State Association of Counties (CSAC) annually provides an estimate of the total gas tax
revenues the County can expect to see from transportation bill, including the total estimated revenue from
RMRA program funds. CSAC estimates the County will receive about $41.7 million in total transportation
funding for FY 20/21 from SB1, approximately double what the County received just a few years ago.
About $16.4 million of that amount is from the RMRA program. This amount will continue to grow in
future years with the built-in inflationary index.
SB1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s
transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, state statute requires cities
and counties to provide basic RMRA project reporting to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, a city or
county must submit to the CTC a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds. All projects
proposed to receive funding must be reviewed and approved by the applicable city council or county board
of supervisors at a public meeting.
The list of projects must include a description and location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule
The list of projects must include a description and location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule
for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. The project list does not
limit the flexibility of an eligible city or county to fund projects in accordance with local needs and
priorities so long as the projects are consistent with RMRA priorities as outlined in the applicable code
sections. Some example projects and uses for RMRA funding include, but are not limited to the following:
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Safety Projects
Railroad Grade Separations
Complete Streets Components (including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and
bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in
conjunction with any other allowable project)
Traffic Control Devices
Streets and Highways Code Section 2030(b)(2) states that funds made available by the program may
also be used to satisfy a match requirement in order to obtain state or federal funds for projects
authorized by this subdivision.
Staff has developed a recommended list of projects the Board of Supervisors to consider for submitting
to CTC.
The following criteria will be used by staff when developing the current and future project lists for
RMRA funds:
Eligibility criteria for RMRA funds
Emergency storm damage projects that exceeded existing road fund revenue capacity
Maintenance and rehabilitation priorities
Roadway safety
Expiring grants where local funds are necessary to complete the funding package
Geographic equity
Projects where expenditures had already occurred for design of the project and had
been shelved due to declining gas tax revenues
Multi-modal benefits in accordance with the Board of Supervisor’s Complete Streets
policy
Positive impact to Road Program performance metrics
Clearing the queue of delayed projects that were a result of declining gas tax
revenues
Meeting customer expectations
With the passage of SB1, the County will now receive about $41.7 million in total transportation
funding in FY 20/21, with approximately $16.4 million of that amount from the RMRA program. The
County currently uses the majority of the Gas Tax funds towards public roadway maintenance and
repair for approximately 660 miles of the roadway network in the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa
County to ensure a safe and convenient public travel in a variety of modes: driving, walking and
bicycling. These funds are also used to improve traffic safety throughout the County by using it as the
local match to leverage funds from state and federal grant programs.
The majority of the RMRA funds are designated for maintenance activities but the range of proposed
projects in future years is expected to broaden as the amount of RMRA funds increases. It should be
noted that project list below is a small subset of projects in overall road program and only focuses on
how the RMRA funds will be expended as required by the Commission.
PROPOSED PROJECTS (Total RMRA = $16.4 million)
Proposed Project No. 1: Road Drainage Maintenance (RMRA = $1.2 million)-

Date:April 28, 2020
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Acceptance of Federal Aviation Administration Grant Funding to Construct a Terminal Building at Buchanan Field
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no negative impact on the General Fund. The total project amount will be approximately
$9,500,000. Approximately 68%, or $6,500,000, will be from the FAA, approximately 3.15%, or $300,000,
will be from Caltrans, and approximately 28.85%, or $2,700,000, will be from the Airport Enterprise Fund
using a combination of capital reserves and or debt service financing.
BACKGROUND:
The Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 28, 2008,
identifies a new general aviation terminal (Terminal) on the capital improvement list. The Terminal will
replace the existing terminal building at the north end of John Glenn Drive. The Terminal would include
space for the Airports Division Administrative staff, Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) staff and
equipment, public space to support scheduled/unscheduled air service providers, office space for aviation
businesses, and general public meeting space. The Airports Division currently rents office space from one
of the airport businesses and moving those functions into the Terminal will accommodate the additional
office space needed, while resulting in a long-term savings to the Airport Enterprise Fund.
This FAA grant funding request is consistent with the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan adopted by the
Board of Supervisors on October 28, 2008, plus governing FAA grant assurances and policies. The
environmental review has been completed and the building design is underway. On February 27, 2018 the
Board authorized Airport staff to submit FAA and Caltrans grants for the design of the ARFF portion of the
project; this was the only FAA grant funded eligible component at the time. The FAA and Caltrans
subsequently issued grants totaling approximately $283,000. The total project design cost is approximately
$1,055,000. The FAA and Caltrans are now willing to consider providing additional funding for portions of
the terminal building design, estimated to be approximately $500,000.
The FAA is expected to fund a significant portion of the project construction costs associated with the
ARFF function and public areas of the terminal building, since Buchanan Field Airport has an active Part
139 certificate. The estimated total project construction cost is $9,500,000, of which approximately 43%, or
$4,100,000, is related to the ARFF function and 25% or $2,400,000 is associated with the terminal building.
Grant applications will be submitted to the FAA and Caltrans, $6,500,000 and $300,000 respectively, for
funding the ARFF and terminal building eligible components. The Airport Enterprise Fund will pay the
grant match and all non-grant eligible costs, estimated at $2,700,000, including the construction of the
Airport’s administrative office space.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not receive the FAA and Caltrans Grant funding necessary to construct the terminal
building, ARFF facility, and administrative offices, which will result in the project not being completed.
The Airports Division will also continue to rent office/ARFF space for approximately $6,500 per month,
which also doesn’t meet the short-term or long-term space needs.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Acting as the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District
(District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the
District, a license agreement granting the City of Oakley a license to use District property along Marsh
Creek for recreational purposes, effective January 14, 2020 for term of twenty five (25) years, as
recommended by the Chief Engineer, Oakley area.
DETERMINE that the conveyance of this license to the City of Oakley is in the public interest and will not
substantially conflict or interfere with the District's use of the property for District purposes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The District and the City of Oakley (City) are entering into a License Agreement for Joint Use Areas, for
maintenance of City improvements at three locations along Marsh Creek. City improvements include, the
pedestrian bridge and staging area north of Cypress Road, the pedestrian bridge at Marsh Creek Glenn Park
(approximately 2,000 feet north of Delta Road) and the pedestrian bridge, trail, and the section of the Flood
Control District drainage channel along the Creekside Community Park from Laurel Road to approximately
1,000 feet south of Laurel Road. Previously, the District had agreed to allow improvements to be
constructed in the District right of way. The City will maintain these City improvements constructed across

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/124 establishing a rate of $30 per Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU) for
Stormwater Utility Area 17 (Unincorporated County) for Fiscal Year 2020–2021 and requesting that the
Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (FC District) adopt annual parcel
assessments for drainage maintenance and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program,
as recommended by the Chief Engineer, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2020–2021 rate per ERU is the same as that set for fiscal year 2019–2020. Therefore, there will be no
change in rate for Unincorporated County property owners. The unincorporated area of Contra Costa
County will produce approximately $3,633,900, which will be used to implement the Unincorporated
County’s Watershed Program. All associated costs funded 100% by Stormwater Utility Area 17 Funds.

Subject:Adopt Resolution Requesting that the Flood Control District Adopt Annual Parcel Assessments for the County’s
Watershed Program. Project #7517-6W7091
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the storm drain system, including creeks and other natural waterways. The Clean Water Program was
established in response to changes in the Federal Clean Water Act. The Program is known at the federal
level as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program. In order to be in
compliance with the current NPDES permit, Clean Water Program participants implement programs to
comply with the provisions in the San Francisco Bay Area Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES
Permit. These programs are paid for with stormwater utility fee assessments. Adoption of the attached
resolution will begin the annual process of assessment adoption.
The Board of Supervisors is being asked to set a rate of $30 for one ERU in the Unincorporated County
areas and to request that the FC District adopt the stormwater utility assessment. (The FC District is the
only entity under state law with legal authority to assess this particular assessment.)
The Public Works Department coordinates the County Watershed Program for the County. Examples of
how the assessment is being spent in the current year include:
1. General drainage maintenance to remove debris and sediment from County storm drain systems, flood
control channels, and creeks.
2. Targeted street sweeping throughout the County.
3. Work with County Building Inspection and Public Works inspectors and construction
companies/contractors to reduce construction contaminants, such as paint, cement, oil/fuels, and soil
erosion from entering storm drains and creeks.
4. Encourage Planners and the development community to use new designs that will reduce
contaminated stormwater runoff.
5. Educate the public on the benefits of reducing pesticides and other toxic household product use and
their proper disposal.
6. Educate County Engineers and Maintenance staff on flood control design, construction, and
maintenance practices that protect water quality and preserve natural watershed habitats.
7. Inspection of industrial and commercial businesses for evidence that spill prevention, equipment
maintenance and cleaning, waste handling and disposal, and other business practices are done in a
manner that minimizes stormwater contamination.
8. Educate marina operators and their marina users through a marina program.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the rate per ERU is not set for the coming fiscal year, funds will not be available for the County’s
Watershed Program to comply with the Joint Municipal NPDES Stormwater Permit. The Regional Water
Quality Control Boards have the authority to issue fines of up to $10,000 per day against those
municipalities that do not comply with the Permit and fail to implement their Stormwater Management
Plans.

Subject:Grant Funds Available for Buchanan Field and Byron Airports from FAA through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports to submit matching fund grant applications to the California
Division of Aeronautics (Caltrans) for grants for capital improvement projects and/or operating expenses
for Byron and/or Buchanan Field Airport simultaneous with the submission of grant applications to the
FAA for grant funds available through of the CARES Act.
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors or the Director of Airports to
sign one or more Statement of Acceptance, or similar document, to accept grant funds from the FAA as part
of the CARES Act.
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors or the Director of Airports to
sign one or more Acceptance of Funds, or similar document, to accept airport-related grant funds received
from Caltrans.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no negative impact on the General Fund. Grant funds would be deposited in the Airport Enterprise
Fund and used to fund operations and/or capital projects at Buchanan Field Airport and Byron Airport. The
grants would not need to be repaid and would be subject to standard FAA grant assurances. Any shortfall
between an FAA grant and the cost of a project would be borne by a combination of grant funding from
Caltrans and the Airport Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress and signed
into law on March 27, 2020. As part of the CARES Act, $10 billion in economic stimulus has been made
available to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to support airports in the United States. The FAA
is currently in the process of formulating the specific protocols that will be followed for how these funds
will be distributed to airports.
Typically, the FAA issues about $3 billion in grants annually. The application and approval process for
grant funds usually takes six to seven months to complete. Preliminary discussions with the regional FAA
office suggest that the FAA is planning to issue the $10 billion in CARES Act relief funds very quickly -
within the next 30 days. The purpose of this board order is to ensure that Contra Costa County has the
ability to quickly apply for and accept CARES Act funds for both County airports.
Revenue at the County’s airports is generated by ground leases, hangar rentals and usage fees. These
revenues pay for the airports’ operating expenses, including airport management, operations, and facility
maintenance. Many of the airports’ tenants are small businesses that have been negatively impacted by the
economic fallout of the Coronavirus. As a result, staff anticipates County airports’ revenues and cash flow
will suffer until there is an economic recovery.
The grant funds being made available to airports under the CARES Act is money that the Airports Division
can use to fund operations, including paying salaries. The grant funds can also be used to pay for capital
improvement projects at the airports. Such projects will not only enable the County’s airports to remain
modern, safe, and competitive with other local airports, they will provide much-needed jobs to the local
community.
The FAA has already indicated it will make at least $69,000 and $1,053,000 in CARES Act grant funding
available to Byron Airport and Buchanan Field Airport, respectively. It is anticipated that additional grant
funding will be made available from both the FAA and Caltrans-Division of Aeronautics through a
streamlined application process.
Byron Airport and Buchanan Field Airport continue to be significant economic engines and to provide jobs
growth opportunities for Contra Costa County. The grant funds available through the CARES Act will
strengthen the ability of the County’s airports to continue these trends during the next 12 to 24 months, at a
time the County most needs it.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County may not receive the FAA and Caltrans grant funding made available to Byron Airport and
Buchanan Field by the CARES Act. This would result in lost economic and jobs opportunity for Byron
Airport, Buchanan Field and Contra Costa County.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
RECEIVE this report concerning the final settlement of Karla Williams-Smith and AUTHORIZE payment
from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $195,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund payment of $195,000.
BACKGROUND:
Attorney Mark A. Cartier, defense counsel for the County, has advised the County Administrator that
within authorization an agreement has been reached settling the workers' compensation claim of Karla
Williams-Smith v. Contra Costa County. The Board's April 14, 2020, closed session vote was: Supervisors
Gioia, Andersen, Burgis, Mitchoff and Glover - Yes. This action is taken so that the terms of this final
settlement and the earlier April 14, 2020, closed session vote of this Board authorizing its negotiated
settlement are known publicly.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Case will not be settled.

2020/127
In the matter of:Resolution No. 2020/127
Recognizing the Month of April 2020 as Child Abuse Prevention Month
WHEREAS, as a community, we have a responsibility to nurture and protect our children
and help ensure they become healthy and productive adults; and
WHEREAS, child abuse and neglect affect children of all ages, races, and income, and is
100 percent preventable; and
WHEREAS, in Contra Costa County, the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) and
Child Protective Services (CPS), a program of Children & Family Services within the
Employment and Human Services Department, collaborate to continue protecting
children through the COVID-19 health crisis, through preventive services, response,
intervention, and investigation; and
WHEREAS, despite outreach and community efforts, the rising number of reported child
abuse cases remains a great concern, and highlights the need for increased protection
and improved services for abused and neglected children; and
WHEREAS, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with more isolation, schools and day care
centers closed, parents and children at home together more, and incomes severely
reduced, tensions in households increase, underscoring the importance of child abuse
prevention services; and
WHEREAS, every year more than 3 million cases of child abuse are reported across the
country, and two of the major risk factors leading to child abuse and neglect are
family isolation and stress; and
WHEREAS, experiencing physical abuse or witnessing violence early in life can become
a cycle, passed down through generations; and children exposed to violence may
consider it to be acceptable, and therefore the cycle of violence continues and can lead
to other violent or dangerous actions; and children who have experienced abuse are
nine times more likely to become involved in criminal activities; and
WHEREAS, the total lifetime economic burden of child abuse and neglect in the United
States is at least $124 billion annually, and studies show that each death due to child
maltreatment has a lifetime cost of $1.3 million and the lifetime cost for each victim
of child maltreatment who lived is $210,012; and
WHEREAS, we cannot put a dollar value on the life of a child, however we can play a
part in ending the tragedy of child abuse by supporting children and families. The
benefits of implementing prevention programs greatly outweigh the substantial
economic costs of maltreatment; and
WHEREAS, these costs accrue over the course of the survivors’ lives, yet the community
will continue to incur the same cost each year until we are able to reduce and
ultimately end child abuse; and
WHEREAS, most experts believe the number of incidents of abuse are far greater than
what is reported; and early intervention is critical for preventing abuse and can
positively impact at-risk families, protecting children; and
WHEREAS, in Contra Costa County there are numerous committed agencies, parents,
relatives, community volunteers, public policymakers and professionals who
collaborate to eliminate child abuse and give our children hope, security and safety;
and
WHEREAS, CAPC continues its role as a child abuse prevention service provider to
Contra Costa County during the COVID-19 crisis, and urges community members to
report suspected child abuse to law enforcement, child welfare agencies or other
community hotlines;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors joins in
proclaiming April, 2020, to be “Child Abuse Prevention Month,” and recognizes the efforts made by the
Child Abuse Prevention Council and Children and Family Services of the Employment and Human
Services Department, and acknowledges both agencies for their dedication to preventing child abuse in
Contra Costa County.

Subject:Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment - Fire Station 70 Construction
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
transferred $10 million from the CCCFPD General Operating Fund to the new CCCFPD Capital
Construction Fund.
The action today properly adjusts the Board-approved budgets of both funds to account for the transfer
in/out. That is to say, it increases expenditures within the CCCFPD General Operating Fund by $10
million and increases revenue in the CCCFPD Capital Construction Fund by $10 million. The net result
to total District funds available is zero until the funds are spent on capital construction. It is anticipated
that the full $10 million will be spent on Fire Station 70 construction by the end of FY 2020-21.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
This action is needed to properly account for the transfer of fund balance from the CCCFPD General
Operating Fund to the CCCFPD Capital Construction Fund.

Subject:Increase Hours for Pediatrician-Hospitalist-Exempt and Pediatrician Ambulatory-Exempt positions in the Health
Services Department
BACKGROUND:
In January 2020, the department's Ambulatory Care Provider-Exempt with the California Children
Services Program retired from the County. By increasing the hours of the Pediatrician-Hospitalist -
Exempt, the incumbent is able to assume some responsibilities and duties the were previously performed
by the Ambulatory Care Provider-Exempt.
Increasing the work hours of the Pediatrician-Ambulatory - Exempt from from part-time (35/40) to
full-time will allow the incumbent to devote additional time to clinical tasks and responsibilities.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these work hours are not increased to full-time, the Health Services Department will be unable to shift
critical pediatric duties and clinical responsibilities to available medical staff and pediatric services will
be compromised.

WHEREAS, Section 4.1 (Salary-On Promotion) of the Contra Costa County Salary Regulations states, "Any employee who is
appointed to a position of a class allocated to a higher salary range than the class he previously occupied, shall receive the salary
in the new salary range, which is next higher than the rate he was receiving before promotion. In the event this increase is less

the next higher step, if the new range permits such adjustment"; and WHEREAS, the incumbent in the Battalion Chief-56 Hour
(RPHA) position #5315 was promoted to that position on December 1, 2019 and placed at step one according to the salary
regulations rule on promotion; and WHEREAS, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has requested the incumbent be

Subject:Agreement #19-0737-005-SF ACP Winter Trapping
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A negative action would result in loss of revenue to the county and a possible threat to our local agriculture
and residents of Contra Costa County.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to submit an application to
carry-over $1,798,050 of unobligated funds and to request a waiver of non-federal share of $449,513 to the
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) for the Early Head Start Childcare Partnership-2 Grant, for
the term September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This BO will carryover budgeted, unobligated Federal funds in the amount of $1,798,050. Additionally, if
the waiver of non-federal share of $449,513 is granted, it will decrease in-kind match requirements. (CFDA
# 93.600)
BACKGROUND:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) allows grantees to carry over unobligated funds to the
next grant period to allow grantees to complete unfinished program initiatives and projects that were

Date:April 28, 2020
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Early Head Start Childcare Partnership-2 Grant Carryover of Unobligated Funds and Waiver of Non-Federal Share
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Partnership 2 grant funds on August 16, 2016 (C.37). As a result, the County was awarded funding in
the amount not to exceed $5,000,000 for the budget period of January 1, 2017 through December 31,
2017 to address program initiatives of health and safety, nutrition, disabilities and mental health of
families as well as professional development of Early Head Start staff. CSB was unable to fully utilize
the initial grant amount due to many factors such as an inability to hire qualified teaching staff,
difficulty in finding qualified partners/sub-recipients and project delays.
ACF recognized these difficulties and granted the roll-over of the unspent portion of $4,035,918 into the
grant period of September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019, in addition to the new grant funding of
$3,540,487 (May 1, 2018, C.20) for the same budget period. During this budget period, CSB was able to
meet its program initiatives, however, was unable to fully utilize the amount of unobligated funds of
$1,798,505 when the grant period ended August 31, 2019 as a result of delays in the completion of
County Public Works projects. The carry-over request of $1,798,050 is the result of unobligated funds
of $450,234 from the basic grant of $3,540,487 and $1,347,816 from the first carry-over amount of
$4,035,918.
ACF recognized the Grantee’s situation and agreed to extend the grant period of the unobligated funds
for the period September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020. The carry-over funds will need to be
obligated by August 31, 2020.
As a grantee, the Department can apply for a waiver of non-federal share waiver from ACF for the Early
Head Start Childcare Partnership-2 Grant because these unobligated funds are for health and safety
maintenance of children’s centers and cannot generate volunteer hours from the community.
This board order is to approve the submission of an application for carry-over of the unobligated funds
under Early Head Start Childcare Partnership-2 Grant, as well as approval of waiver for non-federal
share. Due to the timing of the program’s year-end close and ACF’s requirement to submit the final
Financial Federal Report (SF-425) due on April 30, 2020 for the grant period of September 1, 2018
through August 31, 2019, CSB is now able to request the carry-over of unobligated funds. CSB
submitted the final SF-425 on April 1, 2020. Further, the Head Start Policy Council approved these
actions at their April 15, 2020 meeting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, supplemental funding to operate the Early Head Start Childcare Partnership-2 Program
will not be received and will have adverse effect on the health and safety of the children being served.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
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.
ATTACHMENTS
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, effective April 30, 2019 through June
30, 2020, to increase the payment limit by $79,860 to a new payment limit of $81,860 for enforcement and
registration services for industrial hemp growers and seed breeders. (100% State)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County will be reimbursed in an amount not to exceed $81,860 to register industrial hemp growers and
seed breeders and enforce all laws and regulations pertaining to industrial hemp.
BACKGROUND:
The Food and Agricultural Code (FAC) Division 24 requires growers of industrial hemp and seed breeders
to register with county agricultural commissioners before growing industrial hemp. When a registrant
wishes to alter the land area or change the seed cultivar grown, the registrant must notify and obtain
approval from the agricultural commissioner in which the registrant is growing hemp. All registration
information must be forwarded to CDFA. Chapter 8, Division 4, Title 3 of the California Code of
Regulations implements FAC Division 24.

Change Program, to study the impact of a psychosocial, community reinforcement approach to treating
patients in recovery for the period September 2, 2019 through September 30, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $44,801 payable to the County. (No
County match required)
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) will collaborate with The Rand Corporation in planning, training,
implementing, evaluating and analyzing data for the Integrated Support Persons Into Recovery (Inspire)

BACKGROUND:
In the early 1990s, the United States Navy closed vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle access on the Port
Chicago Highway through the Concord Naval Weapons Station. To mitigate this closure, the Navy paid the
County $5 million for transportation improvements in the Port Chicago, Clyde, and Bay Point areas. As of
2008, $4 million had not been spent. With accumulated interest, the fund had grown to $8.6 million. To
make use of these funds, in June 2008, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Navy Mitigation Fund
Expenditure Plan (Expenditure Plan – Exhibit A). The current balance of the fund (as of March 2020) is
$5,467,542.75.

County
Subject:Funding Agreement to Disburse Navy Mitigation Funds to Build Segment 1A of the Great California Delta Trail
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Expenditure Plan identified a number of transportation improvement projects, along with the
amount to be allocated to each project. One of these improvements is to the Great California Delta Trail
from Bay Point Waterfront Park to Pittsburg ("Project"). The Project is defined as follows in the
Expenditure Plan:
9) Build Great California Delta Trail from Bay Point Waterfront Park to Pittsburg
Project will provide seed money for construction of one segment of the trail.
Navy Fund Allocation: $1 million (partial funding)
Lead Agency: East Bay Regional Park District
Segment 1A of the Project will be inside the Bay Point Regional Shoreline, located just west of McAvoy
Harbor off the Port Chicago Highway in Bay Point:
Specific improvements planned (Exhibit B) by the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) consist of
the following:
* 525 feet of paved Class 3 trail between the Bay Point Regional Shoreline Park entrance and the
existing staging area and planned 1.1 mile Harrier Loop Trail improvements,
* Improvements to an adjacent overflow parking lot will be improved, and
* Site furnishings, including salvage and (re)installation of park gate and traffic control.
These proposed improvements are consistent with the improvements identified in the 2001 Bay Point
Regional Shoreline Land Use Plan (Exhibit C).
The Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan identifies $1,000,000 to be allocated for the Project. The
EBRPD wishes to enter into a funding agreement (Exhibit D) with the County to receive $100,000 so
that it can initiate construction of Segment 1A of the Project. The EBRPD will provide draft project
plans to the County for review and comment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the funding agreement is not adopted, the East Bay Regional Park District will not have the funding to
construct Segment 1A of the Great California Delta Trail.

Benefits of the Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan
2008 Update
• This plan includes a balance of project types (commuter traffic relief,
pedestrian/bicycle safety, trail construction, trail landscaping and long-term
maintenance, waterfront access).
• Most of the projects included in this plan are relatively inexpensive (most less
than $2 million) and most of them therefore can be fully funded by the Navy
Mitigation Fund.
• Most of the projects in this plan can be accomplished in the next few years.
Construction of the Great California Delta Trail segments likely will take
longer, due to the amount of planning, potential right-of-way acquisition, and
additional funding that will be required.
Status of the 1991 Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan
• Delta DeAnza Regional Trail Plus Feeder Trails -- $1million allocation
Status: numerous trails were built including the segment of the Delta DeAnza
Regional Trail over the Willow Pass. The $1 million trail allocation was
spent.
• Evora Road Extension to Concord -- $4 million allocation
Status: not built due to objections from City of Concord. Most of the $4
million remains unspent (a small portion, described below, was used for
studies.) Interest has increased this amount of $8.6 million as of May 2008.
• Transportation studies and planning -- $235,000 allocation
Status: several studies were completed, including studies for the trails and a
rail transit study.

Comments on the Draft Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan
Staff of the Community Development Department and the Public Works Department
reviewed the Draft Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan at three public meetings:
March 18, 2008 – Town Hall Meeting convened by Supervisor Glover, at the Ambrose
Recreation and Park District Building in Bay Point;
May 6, 2008 – bimonthly meeting of the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council’s
Transportation Area Committee; and
May 6, 2008 – monthly meeting of the County Service Area M-16 (Clyde Parks)
Summaries of the comments and questions from each of these meetings are presented in
the following pages.
Also included is a summary of comments from the kick-off meeting for the planning
process that was convened in April 2007 at Calvary Temple on Evora Road. This
meeting was held to gather public input about potential projects for the plan.

April 24, 2007: Suggestions from Town Hall meeting at Calvary Temple, Evora
Road, Concord
(Meeting convened by Supervisor Glover and Supervisor Bonilla to kick off the
process)
1. Re-open Port Chicago Highway
2. Trail along Contra Costa Canal in Clyde
3. Evora Road Widening from Baypoint to Concord
4. Comprehensive road and trail plan developed with the MAC/TAC/PAC
5. The Great California Delta Trail
6. Clyde Feeder Trail on Union Pacific Railroad property (purchase of right of way and
trail construction after Union Pacific cleans up the property)
7. Set-aside some funds in a trust account to be used as a maintenance fund for existing
trail maintenance
8. Marina Trails – such as boardwalks
9. Bus Service Bay Point to Concord
10. Construct additional trails to better connect existing trails
11. Improve throughway roads through Baypoint
12. Construct a park at the trailhead of the Great California Delta Trail
13. Widen Evora Road and provide a bike trail
14. Interest from the trust account should be used for the Evora Road Extension
15. Provide alternate bike route to eliminate bicyclists having to use SR4 between Willow
Pass Road and Port Chicago Highway
16. Other funding sources should be explored to construct the Delta Trail
17. Construct a bikeway on the north side of SR4 to connect to the existing Delta DeAnza
Trail and construct another bikeway further from the freeway towards the shoreline.

18. Road improvements (Willow Pass Road, Bailey Road)
19. Redevelopment plan for Bay Point Waterfront (local roads and trails)
March 18, 2008: Comments on the Draft Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan
from Bay Point Town Hall meeting convened by Supervisor Glover at Ambrose
Recreation and Park District office, Bay Point
1. There are graffiti-covered freight railroad cars across from my home in Shore Acres,
who do I need to talk to, to get them moved? [Staff asked her to provide more specific
info by phone or e-mail and he will try to find out whose rail cars they are]
2. If Concord would move the golf course, it would allow for the Evora Road Extension.
3. The proposed two left-turn lanes on Evora will cause traffic jams as people try to
merge from the left one to the right one to get onto the freeway ramp, and the stop sign is
better than a new traffic signal because cars move through it better. [Staff explained some
of the operational details of how the signal and the turn lanes would operate.]
4. Get rid of the pedestrian tunnel.
5. We need to build schools in Bay Point.
6. The plan doesn’t provide enough traffic relief, too much money on trails. When Port
Chicago Highway closed, we lost a road. We need to get a road back.
7. Get rid of the curving “free right” freeway off-ramp from SR 4 westbound to Bailey
southbound; have all Bailey traffic use the other off-ramp, come to the traffic signal and
then turn left or right onto Bailey. This will eliminate the need for the pedestrian tunnel.
8. Landscape the Bay Point cloverleaf, it’s an entrance to the community and it should
look nice.
9. We need signal timing improvements along Willow Pass Road.
10. Trail safety surveillance is needed.
11. The pedestrian tunnel route doesn’t work for wheelchair users, who can’t get up the
hill to get to BART.
12. Make public transit more accessible.
13. Port Chicago Highway was the only flat route for bicyclists between Bay Point and
Concord. The draft plan would replace it with another flat route, which bicyclists want.
8
14. The Great California Delta Trail is now part of the East Bay Regional Park District’s
Master Plan.
15. Oak Hills community supports the Great California Delta Trail.
16. The Bailey pedestrian/bicycle safety projects don’t mitigate the loss of the Port
Chicago Highway.
17. Use the Bailey funds for the Clyde trail linkage to the Delta Trail.
18. The mitigation money should be used for roads, period.
19. The draft plan provides a good mix of projects and meets the purpose of the Navy
Mitigation Fund.
May 6, 2008: Comments on Draft Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan from the
Transportation Area Committee of the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council
1. Paratransit service for senior citizens isn’t good enough, needs to be improved. The
rules for riding are too strict.
2. The fund is being used to pay for things that other entities should have paid for.
BART should have paid for the Bailey Road pedestrian safety improvements,
homebuilders should have paid for the landscaping along Driftwood Drive, and the
homebuilders should pay for the extra left-turn lane on Evora Road at Willow Pass
Road. Navy Mitigation Funds shouldn’t have to be used for those.
3. Oak Hills Community Group and the Friends of the Delta Trail both support the
expenditure plan including the recommendations for the Great California Delta Trail.
The plan meets the goals and the funds will be well spent.
4. Ambrose Recreation and Park District supports the plan.
5. The proposed plan wastes a lot of money. Why should Driftwood Drive landscaping
be paid for? The homeowners should pay for that. The left turn lane on Evora and
the Bailey Road pedestrian improvements seem like good ideas.
6. Some trails are closed, like the one behind Casa de Serena senior citizens’ facility.
It’s closed so it can’t be used.
7. We shouldn’t do any of the recommended projects except the Evora Road Extension.
We should wait and see if the City of Concord builds it, and if they do, then we can
use the Navy Mitigation Fund for these other things.
9
8. Friends of the Delta Trail says we need this plan and we support it.
9. A question was asked as to whether the Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan
would bring more revenue to Bay Point. County staff and staff of the East Bay
Regional Park District responded to this question.
May 6, 2008: Comments on the Draft Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan from
County Service Area M-16 (Clyde Parks)
1. This sounds like an opportunity to landscape the entrance to Clyde, similar to what
Concord has done on some of their streets. We could put trees up and have an
attractive entryway to the community.
2. A question was asked to whether the County still intended to extend two local streets
westward to Port Chicago Highway. Public Works staff responded.
3. A question will be asked as to whether there will be parking for users of the new trail.
Staff will consider this as we plan the access to the trail.
4. A question was asked as to whether utility poles would be moved or undergrounded
as part of the project. Staff will consider this as trail planning is conducted.
5. Port Chicago Highway is a drag strip. We need more enforcement of speeding, and
we should reduce the speed limit.
6. A question was asked about the width of the UP right-of-way. Staff responded the
right-of-way is 60 feet, but only 8 to 10 feet will be paved. This is a typical trail
width.
7. Several comments were made about flooding. Public Works will look into this.
8. The Clyde trail should connect to the Great California Delta Trail.
9. We should begin planning the trail now, we don’t need to wait until all the
interagency matters are settled.
10. A question was asked whether Concord will expand Port Chicago Highway to support
the new growth that will come in with the Reuse Project. Staff will look into this.
11. A question was asked about the chances that Port Chicago Highway will be reopened.
Residents indicated they wouldn’t want it to be reopened. Staff replied that reopening
is not likely.

RE: Request for $100,000 of Navy Mitigation Funds to Build Segment 1A of Great California Delta Trail
from Bay Point Waterfront Park to Pittsburg
Dear Mr. Cunningham:
The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) is requesting $100,000 in Navy Mitigation funds to build Segment 1A of the
Great California Delta Trail and associated trail amenities at Bay Point Regional Shoreline Park.
In 1989, Contra Costa County received funding from the Navy to mitigate the loss of pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular
access to the Port Chicago Highway in the Naval Weapons Station. The Navy Mitigation Expenditure Plan 2008 Update
Item #9 sets aside $1,000,000 to “Build the Great California Delta Trail from Bay Point Waterfront Park to Pittsburg.”
In accordance with the expenditure plan, the East Bay Regional Park District is moving forward with implementing the
first segment of this trail from Bay Point Shoreline Park along McAvoy Harbor Road, which will construct approximately
525 feet of paved class 3 trail between the Bay Point Regional Shoreline Park Entrance and the existing staging area and
planned 1.1 mile Harrier Loop Trail improvements. To further support the trail construction, the adjacent overflow
parking lot will be improved. Site furnishings including salvage and (re)installation of park gate and traffic control are
included, see proposed budget below.
A draft cooperative funding agreement is attached for your review. A construction contract has been awarded and
construction is planned to start in 2019. Please contact me if you have any questions at (510) 544-2204 or
tmargulici@ebparks.org.
Sincerely,
Tiffany Margulici

LAND USE PLAN
East Bay Regional Park District
2950 Peralta Oaks Court
P.O. Box 5381
Oakland, California 94605
February 2001
III. LAND USE PLAN
The 1997 Park District Master Plan designates the Bay Point parkland
as a Regional Shoreline, with the goals of providing recreational and
educational opportunities and preserving the natural resources and
views offered by the site. The existing marsh and tidal channels on
the site represent the significant natural features of the site, and the
Land Use Plan (LUP) proposes to manage and protect these resources, which provide habitat for a
variety of special-status wildlife. The L UP also proposes to provide public access to several existing
trails and upland areas that will offer recreational and educational opportunities in the marsh and the
waters of Suisun Bay. The LUP establishes "Land Use Designations" or "Units" (Figure 5) that will
establish protected areas for significant natural resources and guide the development of the public
access and recreation facilities.
A. Land Use Zones
Natural Unit
The purpose of designating a Natural Unit is "to preserve and enhance natural habitat" in which are
found "lower intensity recreational activities," such as hiking, plant and wildlife study, educational
pursuits, and contemplation (EBRPD Master Plan 1997, p. 52). Approximately 44 acres of
marshlands and seasonal ponds at Bay Point Regional Shoreline (or 86% of the 51-acre property)
would be designated as a Natural Unit. This includes those areas of the parkland that have been
identified as tidal marsh or wetlands (LSA, February 2000) and some areas of dry upland that would
be suitable for development as trails and a marsh overlook within the Natural Unit.
Recreation/Staging Unit
The purpose of designating a Recreation/Staging Unit is to provide areas of "more intensive public
recreational use and that are of sufficient size to support the necessary parking, utilities, and
infrastructure needed for such use" which may contain, for example: restrooms, picnic areas,
interpretive facilities, shelters, aquatic facilities, and other similar uses (EBRPD Master Plan 1997,
p. 52). Approximately seven (7) acres of upland at Bay Point Regional Shoreline (or 14% ofthe 51-
acre property) would be designated as a Recreation/Staging Unit. The following recommendations
of the LUP are goals which will be implemented as funds are budgeted in the capital improvement
phase of parkland development.
B. Public Access and Circulation
Parking
The Recreation/Staging Unit should provide adequate parking for the proposed recreational activities
and school groups. The Unit has a large, level, bare area that was used by a former landowner for
storage of trucks and equipment. The site now contains a variety of discarded debris, including large
metal floats, a cargo container and other items that will need to be removed from the site.

Recommendation
• Provide parking for up to 40 vehicles with space for a bus tum-around.
Trails
Trail access at the site will focus on improving existing access routes and providing walk-in access
to the water.
Recommendations
• Use the existing, unimproved perimeter service road as a multi-use trail (the "Harrier Trail")
and park service road (see Figure 5). The existing roads are currently in moderate to bad
condition, and have not received regular maintenance. They are overgrown, rough and
rutted, and will need grading and improvements for reliable access. The multi-use trails
would provide access for hikers and bicyclists, as well as maintenance, fire and emergency
vehicles. Alignments shown on Figure 5 are schematic and will need to be confirmed in the
field.
• Provide improvements to the existing public access shoreline trail located on the neighboring
property to the east. This trail varies in width, but is typically less than 5-10 feet wide. It
provides access to a bare spot of ground located at the mouth of the J-shaped channeL It is
a popular fishing spot for local anglers, and reportedly gets frequent use by people of all
ages. Unfortunately, the north end of the trail is at low elevation and becomes very muddy
due to tidal action. Improvements could include a boardwalk, raising the elevation of the
trail with fill, or other similar improvements. These improvements will require the
cooperation ofthe adjacent property owner.
• Develop trail access to the bank of the J-shaped channel near the proposed staging area.
Clear away some of the tules and develop a small area of the channel bank to allow direct,
disabled accessible, all-weather access to the water, for activities such as birdwatching,
environmental education classes, etc.
• Develop a boardwalk trail with access to one of the small marsh channels at the northwest
side of the property. This access is needed because the J-shaped channel is steadily silting
in, and it is anticipated an alternative channel access \\-111 eventually be needed for
environmental education. This trail may cross the State Lands Commission marshland, and
would require the approval of that agency before it would be developed.
• Develop an attractive and visible park entrance along the existing access road at the southeast
corner of the parkland. This 500-foot trail between McAvoy Road and the Park District
property line is a public access easement, on privately owned land. The landowners have
expressed willingness to clean up equipment that has been stored here and to allow the Park
District to install an entry sign, landscaping and other appropriate improvements to enhance
the park entrance.
Bay Point Regional Shoreline Land Usc Plan
32 February 200 I
• Provide signs on the Delta-DeAnza Regional Trail to direct park users to Bay Point Regional
Shoreline, from the intersection of Willow Pass Road and Port Chicago Highway (see Figure
2). A striped bike lane currently runs along the shoulder of Port Chicago Highway from
Willow Pass Road north to Pacifica Avenue.
Interpretive and Recreation Facilities
Interpretive and recreation facilities will focus on providing access for low intensity, recreational and
access opportunities, that are compatible with the preservation of marsh habitat.
Recommendations
• Develop shade structures, picnic tables, barbecues, drinking fountains, and restroom facilities
within the Recreation/Staging Unit to provide informal picnicking and a meeting place for
interpretive hikes, school groups, bird watching trips, etc. Municipal lines for electrical and
sewer service and a potable well are available at the southeast comer of the
Recreation/Staging Unit. Develop these utilities to serve the Recreation/Staging unit, if
feasible.
• Cooperate with local schools and community groups to conduct environmental education
classes and community service projects at the parkland. Local schools could include Rio
Vista Elementary School, Shore Acres Elementary School, Riverview Middle School, Bel
Air Elementary School, and other schools in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.
• Provide interpretive signs and panels at the staging area, along trails, and at a marsh overlook
site on the west side of the parkland (see Figure 5). The overlook site is currently the only
high point on the property and would provide a good location for a small facility that could
include benches, a shade shelter, viewing blinds, interpretive panels, and/or brochures.
Potential topics for interpretation are the site history, the marsh, its wildlife, and the proposed
efforts to restore it.
• Develop a carry-in boat access to the J-shaped channel at the north side of the
Recreation/Staging Unit. This could be a small pier or dock, (floating or pile-supported)
accessible by foot, that could be used for launching canoes, kayaks, or other small non-
motorized, car-top boats, that could be carried in from the parking lot.
• Conduct periodic dredging to maintain adequate depth in the J-shaped channel for non-
motorized boat access. Dredging will be conducted in full compliance with state and federal
environmental laws and with any easement and permit requirements of: the State Lands
Commission, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California
Department of Fish and Game, San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development
Commission, and other applicable regulatory agencies
Bay Point Regional Shoreline Lind Usc Plan February 200 I
Public Transit Accessibility
Tri-Delta Transit bus line 392 provides bus service between the Shore Acres neighborhood and
Pittsburg, passing within 12 mile of Bay Point Regional Shoreline. The park would also be located
about three (3) miles from the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station. Tri-Delta Transit currently
provides bus service from the BART Station into the Shore Acres neighborhood on bus line 389
(weekdays) and 392 (weekends). Line 389 travels up Port Chicago Highway to Pacifica Avenue,
and would pass within 12 mile of the Bay Point Regional Shoreline. Park users could take advantage
ofthese transit opportunities to get to the park by traveling via BART and bike or by the Tri-Delta
Transit bus service. This would be especially useful for transit-dependent people and others who
do not own a car. The Park District also has an opportunity here to encourage non-automobile
modes of transportation.
Recommendations
• The Park District should publish the local transit and bicycle trail routes in the park brochure.
• The Park District will support efforts to improve bus service near the park and extensions of
local bicycle trails and on-street bike lanes to the park.
C. Resource Management
Vegetation and Wildlife Management
The Park District recognizes both the potential restoration possibilities for the former marshland at
this site, as well as the importance of the existing plant communities on site which provide valuable
breeding and foraging habitat for marsh wildlife, including many special-status species. The actions
recommended in this Land Use Plan attempt to embrace both these concepts.
Recommendations
• Periodically monitor and maintain the health of existing popUlations and valuable habitat for
special-status species in the marshland and seasonal pond areas. Periodic prescribed burning
or other approved techniques may be used to maintain acceptable densities of cattails that
will benefit marsh wildlife.
• Periodically monitor the on-site popUlations of invasive, terrestrial and water plants, such as
pampas grass and water hyacinth. As needed, implement projects to manage invasive species
through the District's existing Integrated Pest Management program.
• Limit vegetation management work to the non-nesting season for special-status birds
identified on site.
Bay Point Regional Shordinc Land Usc Plan
34 February 200 I
• Seek grant funding to implement marsh restoration of former marsh areas that have been
diked off. Restoration work would involve major earthmoving, removal of levees, and
lowering the elevation of previously filled marshland.
~ Cut and fill will be balanced on site if possible, with fill material being
deposited on upland areas.
~ Pursue only those designs that will create self-sustaining channels that will
minimize or eliminate the need for future dredging.
~ Balance the preservation of the existing vegetation communities on site (e.g.,
seasonal ponds) with the improvement of marsh habitat. It is recognized that
some wildlife may lose habitat while others benefit from the expansion of
marsh habitat.
~ Maintain access for the State Lands Commission across Park District
property.
~ Obtain necessary federal, state and regional permits for marsh restoration,
cattail maintenance, and invasive weed abatement activities.
• Provide control measures to eliminate the establishment of red fox and feral cat populations.
D. Public Safety
The Park District provides for the safety and protection of park visitors and staff, the protection of
natural resources, and the protection of adjacent neighbors and their property. Public safety response
is provided in conjunction with local public safety agencies as described above in Section II F. The
following recommendations would address identified public safety needs at the new regional
shoreline.
Recommendations
• Provide secure fencing along the southern boundary of the property to prevent trespass and
discourage the unsafe crossing of the railroad embankment.
• Remove from the property the piles of dumped concrete, metal floats, cargo container, and
any other discarded debris.
• Provide a strong, cooperative response to public safety incidents, by the Park District Police
Department, Contra Costa County Sherifi's Department, California Highway Patrol, or
Department ofFish and Game, as appropriate to the nature of the incident.
• Provide a strong, cooperative response to wildfire and search and rescue incidents, by the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and the East Bay Regional Park District Fire
Department.
• Maintain appropriate vegetation clearances around structures and facilities to protect them
in case of wildfire.
Bay Point Regional Shoreline Land Use Plan
35
February 200 I
• Gate the parking lot with separate entrance and exit lanes. Equip the exit lane with "tiger
teeth" or similar device to prevent entry through the exit. Lock the parking lot gates at dusk
to prevent after-hours parking. Provide a Knox box or similar apparatus to the gate so that
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will have the ability to enter the park in
emergenc1es.
E. Future Park Expansion
The tidal marsh directly north of the Park District property (Figures 4,5) is the natural transition
zone between the dry upland and the waters of Suisun Bay. Because of this the Park District will
be evaluating the expansion of the park operating area to include more of this marshland.
Approximately 80 acres of the tidal marsh is owned by the State Lands Commission. The Park
District will need to consider the costs and benefits to the District ofthis potential, future addition
to the Bay Point Regional Shoreline. The State Lands Commission has expressed interest in
recommending the approval of a lease that would authorize the Park District to use the marshland
for open space, habitat restoration, and public access (Plummer 2000).
Recommendation
• The Park District should evaluate the expansion of the park to include the 80-acre State
Lands Commission property. If pursued, the potential park expansion would be addressed
in a management agreement that would be negotiated with the State Lands Commission.
F. Business Plan
A BusinessPlan will be developed to coordinate the construction of facilities and the implementation
of the resource management actions proposed for Bay Point Regional Shoreline. Currently this
parkland is maintained in land bank status. The need for additional staff will be evaluated to open
and maintain this additional 51 acres of parkland.
Recommendations
• Identify operational costs to open parkland for public use.
• Identify potential capital and operating grants, endowments, donation of funds, assets and
services that relate to site development and education goals.
.. Establish public and private partnerships with qualified organizations to implement and
manage facilities and programs.
.. Identify potential revenue-generating activities.
• Designate revenue from future bond acts to develop capital improvements.

Subject:Fire Station 70 Squad Funding Agreement Amendment and Extension
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and for the procurement of the Squad 70 apparatus. Funds are provided by the City through a
combination of proceeds from a sales tax initiative (“Measure K”) as well as City general funds.
In late 2007, following the death of two District firefighters in a residential structure fire in
unincorporated San Pablo, a second staffed fire engine with three personnel was staffed at Fire Station
70. Known as Engine 70A, this unit served the busy City of San Pablo, the City of Richmond through
automatic aid, and supported the Battalion 7 response area. As a result of the beginning of the Great
Recession and budget reductions, Engine 70A was eliminated in 2008, leaving only Engine 70 to serve
San Pablo and the surrounding communities. The elimination of this unit was essentially the first
reduction in what would become a severe downturn in staffing and capacity through 2013.
As a result of the construction of a replacement for Fire Station 70, discussions about additional capacity
and capability were initiated with the City. Through several discussions between City and District staff, a
strategy was developed to address the potential for continuation of the funding for Fire Station personnel
but shift the funding to personnel assigned to a ladder truck instead of the two-person EMS squad. This
would increase capacity and capability within the City and surrounding communities.
Known as Truck 70, this unit would have the same capability as the current EMS squad with the
additional capacity and capability available with our standard ladder truck equipment compliment. Truck
70 will continue to provide additional EMS response capacity, but will increase rescue and vehicle
extrication capability, technical rescue, and fire suppression capability. With only one ladder truck
available within the Battalion 7 response area, the addition of Truck 70 will not only provide direct
benefit to San Pablo, but also to the surrounding communities served by the District. Truck 70 will be
staffed with 4 personnel to be consistent with ladder truck staffing throughout the District. The District
will provide funding for the third position, the fire captain, to be effective on, or about, the third quarter
of FY 2020-21 as the station is planned to be opened in March or April, 2021. The District is already
funding the fourth position, a firefighter, through a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response
(SAFER) Grant. That fourth position will be utilized elsewhere in the District until Truck 70 is ready to
be staffed in 2021.
In addition, the increased staffing at Fire Station 70 will allow the District to potentially provide a
wildland fire engine (Type 3 engine) to be cross-staffed by the Truck 70 crew during the summer
months. This will provide a substantial increase to the firefighting capacity in support of San Pablo, El
Sobrante, North Richmond, and East Richmond Heights during the fire season. The minimum
commitment by the District would be to continue staffing a two-person EMS squad under the terms of
the agreement.
The agreement will continue to provide funding for the original two positions, with scheduled annual
increases, as well as continue funding for certain specific EMS, communication, and rescue related
equipment. The original agreement has a five-year term that expires April 30, 2020. The amended
agreement proposes a five-year extension to expire on June 30, 2025.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without an extension to the current agreement, the funding for the two Fire Station 70 squad positions
would cease and Fire Station 70 funding would revert to one three-person crew to provide all emergency
response to the City and surrounding communities.

Subject:Approval of Amendments to Multiple Behavioral Health Contracts
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
in proportion to its unfulfilled obligations”.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended contract amendments recognize the business interruption issues faced by the
Community Based Organizations (CBO’s). The rate adjustments coupled with the payment advance
option will ensure that the CBO’s have sufficient cash to continue providing needed services to the
community without a change to the annual contract payment limit. The contracts are partially funded
with State “2011 Realignment” dollars. Given the COVID-19 impact on State revenues it is likely that
collection of the Realignment funding will be delayed.
BACKGROUND:
COVID-19 is causing significant impacts to the community based behavioral health providers in Contra
Costa County. Shelter in place orders are impacting the operations of these non-profit organizations that
provide critical services to vulnerable residents of Contra Costa County. Social distancing requirements
to prevent disease transmission may make delivery of critical services extremely difficult, impossible or
ineffective. Many non-profit organizations have few, if any, financial reserves to sustain themselves.
These advance funds are intended to be used by the Contractor to retain its providers who deliver direct
reimbursable behavioral health services to Contra Costa residents both during and after the current
emergency.
In accordance with Board Order Item D.6 approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 31, 2020,
these contractors will receive a one-month advance payment as long as they provide the services and
fulfill the performance measures under the contact, for which the advance payment is rendered.
This action provides changes to the contract payment structure through the end of the fiscal year thereby
providing cash flow and budget predictability to the CBO’s.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these Amendment Agreements are not approved the residents of Contra Costa County may experience
reduced or discontinued behavioral health services.

Inc., MVP Construction LLC. & Staples Construction, Inc. be invalidated for any reason, the Board would

discretion to reject the bids received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Job orders under the job order contracts will only be issued when there is an approved project and funding.
The contract value can range from a minimum of $25,000 to a maximum of $2,500,000.
BACKGROUND:
In order to be efficient in delivering projects, the County needs to employ a variety of project delivery
methods. One such method is Public Contract Code Section 20128.5, which authorizes counties to award
one or more individual annual contracts for repair, remodeling, or repetitive work to be done according to
unit prices. Once an annual contract is awarded, individual projects are then done through written job
orders performed by the job order contractor at the unit prices bid for the annual contract. Such Job Order
Contracting (JOC) is a project delivery tool that has been proven to reduce costs, save time, and increase
productivity.
The JOC Program has been a valuable construction project delivery tool for the term of the JOC contracts.
As we near the expiration date and reach maximum contract amounts for the existing job order contracts,
other projects are still eligible to be accomplished under the JOC program. On February 25, 2020, the
Board of Supervisors authorized the Public Works Director, or designee, to solicit for job order contracts
for repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work, and bring to the Board recommendations to award five
contracts. On February 25, 2020, bids were invited by the Public Works Director. On March 26, 2020, the
Public Works Director received 4 bids for the job order contracts. The scope of work for the work
performed under the job order contracts will be determined by individual job orders using the Construction
Task Catalog. The four lowest responsive bidders are being recommended for contract award. The contracts
are being awarded based on the lowest Award Criteria Figure (ACF) that is calculated by each bidder using
the award criteria figure formula percentages required by each job order using adjustment factors called out
in the bidding documents. Bid documents for Job Order Contracts 012, 013, 014, and 015, including
construction task catalog and construction specifications for typical work, were prepared for the Public
Works Department by County's job order contracting consultant, The Gordian Group, Inc. The general
prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates
paid on the projects covered by the annual Job Order Contracts. Bids for Job Order Contracts 012, 013,
014, and 015 were received and opened by the Public Works Department on March 26., 2020, and the bid
results are as follows:

FIGURE
Aztec Consultants, Inc. 1.2287
Mark Scott Construction,

1.2745
MVP Construction, LLC. 1.2865
Staples Construction, Inc. 1.3896
Staff has determined that the four lowest bids received from Aztec Consultants, Inc., Mark Scott
Construction, Inc., MVP Construction, LLC., and Staples Construction, LLC. are responsive. The Public
Works Director recommends the Board award the job order contracts for this project to Aztec Consultants
(JOC 012), Inc., Mark Scott Construction, Inc. (JOC 013), MVP Construction, LLC. (JOC 014) and Staples
Construction, LLC (JOC 015) for job orders under the job order contracts in amounts not less than $25,000
nor more than $2,500,000.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements will be addressed on a project-by-project basis
as job orders occur. Each of the job order contractors will perform outreach required under the County's
Outreach Program for the work to be performed under each job order in excess of $175,000.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these JOC bid solicitations are not approved and authorized, the County will not have the resources to
complete deferred maintenance projects as described in the FLIP report and other County construction
projects involving repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work.
RECOMMENDATION(S):

County
Subject:Execute an Assignment and Assumption of Contract and Consent between Crusader Fence Company, Inc. and
Crusader Fence Company, LLC.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to supplement the maintenance crews’ routine and emergency work while they are busy with other
activities, and to perform work that is typically time-sensitive and may require specialized equipment and
skills. This contract became effective on March 13, 2018. Subsequently, the Board of Supervisors approved
two contract amendments that extended the contract completion date to March 13, 2021.
Crusader Fence Company, Inc. informed Public Works staff on March 2, 2020 that they have shifted their
business classification from a Corporation (Crusader Fence Company, Inc.) to a Limited Liability Company
(Crusader Fence Company LLC), and that they have transferred all contracts and work to Crusader Fence

continue to receive services outlined in the contract with Crusader Fence Company LLC.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve an Assignment and Assumption of Contract and Consent between Crusader Fence
Company, Inc. and Crusader Fence Company LLC may prevent the Public Works Department from
completing routine road, flood control, airport, and facilities maintenance work in a timely manner.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County’s homeless individuals will not receive COVID-19 emergency
shelter services during the COVID-19 pandemic, further putting the community at risk.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Fire Chief, to execute a purchase

BACKGROUND:
On October 27, 2019, Contra Costa County experienced a significant wind event leading to several
wildland fires and dozens of wind-related incidents in rapid succession. All in all, the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District (District) recalled or held over 100 firefighters and staffed 21 additional fire engines
(over minimum staffing). These unprecedented actions saved lives and property. One of the findings in the
after action review was a determination that there was a shortage of portable radios for upstaffing due to
disaster response activities. These additional portable radios also need to operate on the East Bay Regional
Communications System (EBRCS).
This action authorizes the purchase

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) current patient engagement system utilizes a daily batching
process. CCHS is thus only able to outreach to patients daily. WellApp has built in real-time integration
within Epic. Case managers, providers and others will be able to directly engage a single patient, a patient
cohort or our entire patient population. The current tool is causing delays in patient outreach during the
COVID-19 pandemic. With just a few-week implementation timeline, CCHS will be able to use WellApp to
better communicate and improve patient outcomes. The Master Services Agreement obligates the County to
indemnify and defend Well Health Inc., against third party losses and liabilities arising out of County data
in the Well Health system, and County’s breach of the agreement.

that require residents to stay home to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.
This initial order was in effect until April 7, 2020, but was extended on March 31, 2020 to last through May
3, 2020. The March 31, 2020 order also expanded and clarified certain activities to deemed non-essential to
include use of shared recreational facilities and most construction activities. In addition, on April 17, 2020,
the Health Officer issued a "Cover Your Face" order, which went into effect on April 22, 2020. The new
order requires face coverings when working in or visiting an essential business, riding on public
transportation and visiting a healthcare facility. These critical interventions have been designed to reduce
harm from the spread of the coronavirus in our community. All Bay Area Health Officers observed quickly
mounting cases and serious illnesses across the region. Because the virus spreads so easily, without
dramatic intervention like these orders, it would result in so many people needing medical attention in a
hospital setting that County hospitals will be overwhelmed. The County may not have enough beds or
equipment to adequately care for the most seriously ill. And health care workers and other first responders,
countywide, are also at risk. If those healthcare workers and first responders get sick there are fewer people
to provide health care and first response services during the pandemic.
The County has activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and several Department Operations
Centers (DOC) to assist in the response to the pandemic. Those operations centers are the hub for
procurement and distribution of services and equipment necessary to respond to the emergency. In support
of this, the County Administrator, in his capacity of Administrator of Emergency Services (County Code
Section 42-2.602) issued an emergency blanket purchase order in the amount of $20 million on Friday,
March 20, 2020 for the procurement of services and supplies necessary to facilitate the COVID-19 response
within the County. The Board of Supervisors subsequently ratified the County Administrator's action on
March 31, 2020. Similarly, the County Administrator has entered into several agreements, including service
contracts, license agreements and leases to support the activities responding to COVID-19. The first set of
such contracts was ratified by the Board on April 14, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.22). Today's agenda item
requests that the Board of Supervisors ratify additional contracts enumerated in the recommendation section
of this board order.
Federal Disaster Relief Actions
On Friday, March 13, 2020, President Trump declared a nationwide emergency in response to the growing
COVID-19 pandemic pursuant to Sec. 501(b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (the “Stafford Act”). That action provides access to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance program, which allows for a 75% Federal cost
share on certain emergency protective measures taken at the direction or guidance of public health officials
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualifying expenditures are those that are not supported by the
authorities of another federal agency (i.e. reimbursement for response activities funded by another Federal
agency grant program). Examples of reimbursable activities include the activation of Emergency
Operations Centers, National Guard costs, law enforcement and other measures necessary to protect public
health and safety.
The Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) is facilitating the collection of FEMA Requests
for Public Assistance (RPA) from agencies (public and private) impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
CalOES has advised that RPA documents, which do not include a specific dollar amount of public
assistance being requested, be filed no later than April 17, 2020. Filing of this document allows agencies,
including the County, to be on record stating that costs have been incurred as part of the response effort and
allows for a request to FEMA that a portion of those costs be reimbursed in the future. In addition, CalOES
has requested that impacted agencies adopt required Project Assurances for Federal Assistance and a
resolution designating agents that can act on behalf of the impact agency.
On March 31, 2020, the Board of Supervisors took action to adopt Resolution No. 2020/112 authorizing the
County Administrator to submit the RPA documents discussed above to CalOES to ensure the opportunity
for Federal cost reimbursement. The County subsequently filed its RPA with FEMA, which was approved
on April 17, 2020. The County has been informed that the next step in the cost recovery process is to attend
a virtual Applicant Briefing, which will provide more detailed information regarding steps to file claims
with FEMA in concert with CalOES.
State Disaster Request and Presidential Authorization
Following the President's action, Governor Newsom requested that the Federal government declare a major
disaster in California due to COVID-19. The President approved the State's request on Sunday, March 22,
2020, which activated additional Federal resources directed to assist California, including deployment of
mobile hospital units and a U.S. Navy hospital ship among other things. Contra Costa County was a
recipient of mobile field hospital equipment and took delivery of those resources at the Craneway Pavilion
in Richmond, which will serve as a 250-bed alternate care site supporting the capacity of the County's
hospital and clinic system. A renewal of the license agreement for the Craneway Pavilion for May 2020 is
included in this action for ratification today by the Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contracts executed by the County Administrator in response to the COVID-19 emergency will not be
ratified by the Board of Supervisors.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator to approve departmental requests to pay in
advance those non-governmental community-based organizations that contract with the
County to provide direct health and human services to County residents and that are
experiencing service delivery disruptions caused by COVID-19, subject to the
following conditions:
1.
Advance payments, if any, will be only for the month of May 2020;
Advance payments will be based upon budgeted contract amounts for May 2020 or in
an amount equal to 1/12 of an annual contract; and
In no case shall these payments exceed the total Board authorized contracted amount.
2. DIRECT the Auditor-Controller to process such advance payments.

Subject:AUTHORIZE departments to approve and DIRECT the Auditor-Controller to process advance payments to

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
>
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Board action would result in approximately $2-3 million of advance payments for the month of May,
to non-governmental community-based health and human services direct service providers. Advances will
be paid with the likelihood of partial reimbursement from State and Federal funding. There may be future
audit or cost settlement findings regarding these payments. The County Administrator will provide a report
back to the Board once total payments are processed.
BACKGROUND:
COVID-19 is likely to cause significant impacts to the social safety net in Contra Costa County. The safety
net relies on a tight integration of government-provided assistance with direct services provided by
non-profit organizations. Shelter in place orders are impacting the operations of these non-profit
organizations that provide critical services to vulnerable residents of Contra Costa County. Social
distancing requirements to prevent disease transmission may make delivery of critical services extremely
difficult, impossible or ineffective. Many non-profit organizations have few, if any, financial reserves
enough to sustain themselves. Maintaining cash flow is likely to allow quicker resumption of these key
services when the emergency is over.
If approved, this action would provide an advance to sustain cash-flow to non-governmental community
based direct service organizations during the current emergency.
Eligible non-governmental community based direct health and human service organizations will be required
to submit a claim equal to 1/12 of an annual contract (or equivalent pro rated amount) to the department
procuring the service as an advance for future services, departments will forward advance payment requests
to the Auditor for payment. The Auditor will forward a summary report to the County Administrator for
approval of the payments.
This advance is in addition to advances already approved for the month of April. This action does not
include advances for behavioral health providers in the Health Services Department (companion item).
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/54 proclaiming April 12-18, 2020 as Animal Control Officer Appreciation
Week to celebrate the hard work, commitment and compassion of Animal Control Officers nationwide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
"National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week” was created by the National Animal Care and
Control Association (NACA) to celebrate the hard work, commitment and compassion of Animal Control
Officers nationwide. Every year, animal control agencies throughout the country celebrate the work of
Animal Control Officers during the second full week in April to raise awareness about the unique work
they perform and the important role they play in protecting the health and safety of communities. Contra
Costa Animal Services joins NACA and animal control agencies across the country in recognizing and
celebrating our Animal Control Officers during this week.

commitment to providing high quality services to the families of Contra Costa County.
CSB continually monitors service delivery to ensure compliance and support of a system of continuous
improvement. Through this ongoing monitoring, Baby Yale Academy was identified as a partner who
was not able to demonstrate safe and compliant Early Head Start services to children as required by the
Head Start Program Performance Standards. As a result, the contract was terminated effective March 9,
2020. On an ongoing basis, CSB analyzes multiple data sources to inform decisions that ensure program
design continues to meet the changing needs of children and families in the community. As an existing
partner, Aspiranet meets the needs of the community through providing strength-based home visiting
services to pregnant mothers and infant/toddlers with goals to support health and wellbeing.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, CSB will not be able to provide continuous quality Early Head Start services for
pregnant mothers, infants and toddlers throughout the County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of
Contra Costa County's community outcomes - Outcome 1: "Children Ready for 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.

Chris Pflaumer
Head Start Program Specialist
Administrative for Children and Families, Region IX
90 7th Street, Ninth Floor
San Francisco, CA 94103-6710
Dear Mr. Chris Pflaumer,
This letter is to request approval for a change in scope for Contra Costa County Community
Services Bureau’s (CSB) grant number 09HP000111 to reallocate fifteen (15) Early Head Start
center-based Head Start slots to fifteen (15) Early Head Start home -based slots. The home -
based slots will serve chil dren and their families through CSB’s existing partnership with
Aspiranet. Therefore, we are requesting to add the home -based program option to this grant.
This approval would support CSB’s continued commitment to providing high quality services to
the families of Contra Costa County.
CSB continually monitors service delivery to ensure compliance and support a system of
continuous improvement. Through this ongoing monitoring, Baby Yale Academy was identified
as a partner who was not able to demonstrate safe and compliant Early Head Start services to
children as required by the Head Start Program Performance Standards . The partner was
continually unable t o meet requirements despite collaborative efforts to bri ng the partner into
compliance, resulting in contract termination effective March 9, 2020. CSB has identified an
opportunity to reallocate these 41 slots to increase the availability of quality Early Head Start
services for pregnant mothers, infants and toddlers throughout the County.
On an ongoing basis, CSB analyzes multiple data sources to inform decisions that ensure
program design continues to meet the changing need s of children and families in the
community. As an existing partner, Aspiranet meets the needs of the community through
providing strength -based home visiting services to pregnant mothers and infants/toddlers with
goals to support heal th and wellbeing. The 2019 Community Assessment indicates a continued
need for prenatal services as only 77% of pregnant women in the county receive adequate or
better prenatal services, falling below the National Healthy People 2020 objective. Twenty-five
(25) percent of the county’s population and 60% of CSB’s currently enrolled families are Hispanic
residents and according to the Educational Profile 77.8% of all English Learners are Spanish
Speakers. Aspiranet is responsive to these needs as all home visitors are bilingual with primary
instruction given in Spanish. Experience working with the Hispanic community also supports the
home visiting option as there is a well -known community practice of keeping infants and
toddlers at home rather than utilizing out of home care . Furthermore, data also shows a decline
in women who gave birth who were also in the labor force, a 5% reduction from 2016 to 2017.
In 2019, Aspirant entered into collaboration with the county’s public assistance (CalWORKS)
agency to more systematically reach low income and high need first time mothers. Aspiranet
consistently reaches full enrollment and has a waitlist of eligible families to fill the additional
slots. To remain responsive to the needs of the community, we are requesting to i ncrease the
availability of county-wide Early Head Start home visiting services through this change in scope.
As stated in this request, 15 of the 41 Baby Yale slots will be allocated to Aspiranet. T he
remaining slots will b e allocated to existing EHS -CCP partners, KinderCare in Antioch (14 slots)
and YMCA of the East Bay in Richmond (12 slots). Contracted cost per child is the same for all
partners with the exception of YMCA whose rate includes compensation for provision of
Comprehensive Services through the partner’s internal processes. The shifting of 41 slots from
Baby Yale to Aspiranet, YMCA and KinderCare for three months wil l result in a net savings of
$90,932. Savings will be realized upon termination of Baby Yale because the contract includes
allocation of Loss of Subsidy and Facility Upgrade that has not been utilized . These funds will be
reallocated for repairs and maintenance of early childhood centers to meet Health and Safety
requirements, including redirection of facility funds to outfit the n ew KinderCare site and
playgrounds. Below is a tabular comparison representing the change in the budget for the
remainder of the 2019-2020 contracted year.

There will be no disruption of services to enrolled children and families. Families will continue to
receive child care services through S tate childcare subsidy programs at Baby Yale as the location
and hours of care meet their needs. Transfers from Baby Yale would have first priority should a
family be interested in neighboring Early Head Start services. If approved, the change in scope
will be implemented April 1, 2020. These services would continue to be provided in East County
(where Baby Yale is located) where the need is most high , with family income well below the
state and county average in population centers of Antioch, Oakley and Pittsburg .
As Head Start program providers, we remain cognizant of our obligations to maximize feasible
and sustainable resources to promote the continuity of high quality care for our families and are
committed to ensure all programs comply with Head Start Program Performance Standards. All
partners are in compliance with staff qualifications as outlined in HSPPS 1302.91 and childcare
centers are in good standing with Community Care Licensing. We thank you for the
consideration of our slots reallocation. If you need additional information or have any questions,
please f eel free to contact me at (925)681-6345.
Sincerely,
Christina Reich, Division Manager

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Office of the Sheriff, or designee, to accept the transfer, authorized by
the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), of a Beechcraft King Air A200 fixed
wing aircraft from the San Bernardino County Office of the Sheriff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No cost to obtain the aircraft (1978 Beechcraft King Air A200 est. value $700,000). Approximately
$70,000/year for operating costs, hangar rental and insurance. Maintenance costs of approximately
$125.00/hour. Operating costs will be offset by projected saving of approximately $57,000 for costs
associated with extradition missions.
BACKGROUND:
The San Bernardino Sheriff's Office recently purchased a new King Air aircraft and CalOES has authorized
the transfer of this asset to the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff. Additionally San Bernardino
County completed all required maintenance and service on the King Air A200 and it is fully certified.

County
Subject:Acceptance of No Cost Inter-Agency Transfer of Fixed Wing Aircraft
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
This aircraft will augment the existing Sheriff's Air Support Unit. This fixed wing aircraft will enhance
airborne law enforcement support capabilities. For example, it's use will improve deployment of search and
rescue personnel, allow movement of detectives and other personnel to locations throughout the State for a
variety of purposes including interviewing witnesses, victims and suspects, and allow for the transfer of
emergency supplies where necessary. This aircraft will also allow for extradition missions (pickup of
criminal from other jurisdictions for pending charges in Contra Costa County) without necessitating less
secure commercial transportation, which would result in travel costs associated with extradition missions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action will result in the Sheriff's Office not obtaining this fixed-wing aircraft.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT update on the commercial cannabis land use permit applications received for storefront retail and
commercial cultivation in response to the invitations approved by the Board on December 10, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
At the Board of Supervisors public meeting on December 10, 2019, in accordance with Section 88-28.404
of the County Code, the Board selected a total of eleven proposals for numerically-limited commercial
cannabis activities to invite to apply for a land use permit. Of this total, four proposals were invited to apply
for land use permits for retail storefront and seven for commercial cannabis cultivation. Invitees were given
until March 9, 2020 to submit land use permit applications to the Department of Conservation and

Subject:Update on Status of Commercial Cannabis Land Use Permit Applications for Retail Storefront and Cultivation as
Selected by the Board
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Of the four invitees for retail storefront land use permit applications, applications from all four were
received by the deadline. Of the seven invitees for commercial cultivation, five land use permit
applications were received by the deadline. Land use permit applications were not received for two of
the proposals invited to apply: Element 7 - Chestnut Street in Brentwood and Element 7 - Willow Way
in Byron. The attached table provides additional detail on the land use permit applications received.
Staff will continue to review and evaluate the nine applications received and perform the work
necessary for these proposals to be individually considered at future public hearings.
For certain commercial cannabis activities that are numerically-limited by the County’s Ordinance, the
RFP process did not result in accepted applications that would hit the caps. Even if each of the nine
applications received is approved for a land use permit, the Ordinance allows for an additional five sites
for commercial cultivation and two sites for manufacturing in an agricultural zone. As stated in the
December 10, 2019 board order, staff will provide a recommendation to the Board by the end of 2020
regarding a process for accepting applications for these commercial cannabis activities. Until otherwise
directed by the Board, staff will not accept additional proposals for these activities.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.

direction to PG&E and other investor-owned utilities to establish new planning and coordination protocols
in which local governments would be expected to participate. This would increase costs for County staff.
The proposed CPUC guidelines also call for investor-owned utilities to establish community resource
centers during PSPS events at libraries, community centers, and similar local government facilities. These
community resource centers would be expected to operate 24/7. The guidelines do not discuss who would
bear the cost to operate and maintain these facilities.

Subject:Letter to California Public Utilities Commission re Planning for Public Safety Power Shutoffs
BACKGROUND:
Due to the recent impacts of public safety power shutoff (PSPS) events in the fall of 2019, the CPUC is accepting public
comment on proposed additional and modified de-energization guidelines for investor-owned utilities, including PG&E. The
CPUC has invited the County and other local government agencies that may be affected by the proposed guidelines to
provide comments. The attached letter supports formal comments submitted by the Joint Local Governments (comments
attached), on behalf of eight Counties (Kern, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and
Sonoma) and one City (Santa Rosa), and includes additional recommendations. Additional recommendations include:
Updating the guidelines to reflect the changed circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; Requiring
investor-owned utilities to attend all existing local Emergency Operations Center and California Office of Emergency
Services planning activities and participate in all proposed annual de-energization exercises; Requiring investor-owned
utilities to provide up-to-date websites in other languages spoken throughout the utility’s service area during a
de-energization event; Ensuring costs to operate and maintain proposed community resource centers are borne by the utilities,
not local governments; and Imposing financial penalties on investor owned utilities if power is not restored within 24 hours
following the conclusion of a de-energization event.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not provide comments related to local interests affected by the proposed CPUC guidelines.

Electric Utility De-Energization of Power
Lines in Dangerous Conditions.
Rulemaking 18-12-005
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE’S RULING REQUESTING COMMENTS ON
PROPOSED ADDITIONAL AND MODIFIED DE-ENERGIZATION GUIDELINES
The Commission currently has multiple open formal proceedings that are
considering various elements of policy related to catastrophic wildfires and
electric sector de-energization events that are initiated in the investor-owned
utilities (IOUs) service territories. The quasi-legislative (QL) track of this
proceeding is one focused component of this suite of initiatives the Commission
is undertaking in this regard.
The QL track of this proceeding is considering the development of
potential new and modified guidelines for de-energization events. Currently, the
authorities for major sources of the guidelines the Commission has established
regarding de-energization events include Decision (D.) 19-05-042, specifically
Appendix A which was established in Phase 1 of the QL track of this proceeding,
Resolution ESRB-8, and General Order 166. Phase 2 of the QL track of this
proceeding is developing a record to potentially augment these authorities with
additional guidelines and modify the existing guidelines that the Commission
has established in D.19-05-042 and Resolution ESRB-8.
In addition to the QL track, this proceeding has an active adjudicatory
track that is considering an order to show cause against Pacific Gas and Electric

Company for violations related to the implementation of the public safety power
shutoffs in October 2019.
The Commission also has an active docket with Investigation 19-11-013 to
determine whether California’s IOUs prioritized safety and complied with the
Commission’s regulations and requirements with respect to their Public Safety
Power Shutoff events in late 2019. Furthermore, the Commission is evaluating
the proposals for mitigating wildfire risk and the scope of de-energization events
in the Rulemaking 18-10-007. As a part of the wildfire mitigation plan process,
the electric IOUs are required to report on proposed investments in system
hardening and deployment of grid technologies that can minimize the risk of
wildfires and the need for widespread de-energization events.
On December 19, 2019, President Marybel Batjer published an amended
Phase 2 Scoping Memo and Ruling (Phase 2 Scoping Ruling) in this proceeding.
The Phase 2 Scoping Ruling provides for a schedule, as further modified by an
Administrative Law Judge ruling on January 15, 2020, that includes the release of
proposed additional and potential modifications to the Phase 1 guidelines for
de-energization events and Resolution ESRB-8.
Attachment 1 to this ruling proposes potential new guidelines, many of
which attempt to enhance and further refine the existing guidelines developed in
Phase 1 of this proceeding and Resolution ESRB-8. Issues of consistency with
and necessary modifications to the Phase 1 guidelines and Resolution ESRB-8
will be resolved in a Commission decision that adopts new and modified
guidelines. Parties are invited to comment on these proposed new guidelines,
and parties are encouraged to address consistency with the existing guidelines as
they see fit.

RESOLUTION ESRB-8
Working Groups and Advisory Boards
The large electric investor-owned utilities, with the participation of
small multi-jurisdictional electric utilities, community choice
aggregators, and communications providers, shall convene, at least
monthly, regionalized working groups with tribal and local
government entities, public safety partners, and representatives of
access and functional needs and vulnerable communities. The
electric investor-owned utilities shall conduct outreach to impacted
communities to increase their level of participation and to plan the
coordination for future de-energization events. The purpose of these
working groups is to ensure there is a formal environment to share
lessons learned between the impacted communities and the electric
investor-owned utilities. Additionally, convening these working
groups serves as a mechanism for the CPUC and the local
communities to validate whether the electric investor-owned
utilities have successfully implemented lessons learned from prior
de-energization events and alleviate barriers to solutions for future
de-energization events. The electric investor owned utilities must
report back to the CPUC on progress on a monthly basis. The electric
investor-owned utilities shall develop their de-energization
protocols with feedback from the working group. The protocols
should include the provision of Community Resources Centers,
communication strategies, information sharing, identification of
critical facilities and access and functional needs customers, and
contingency plans.
All electric investor-owned utilities must coordinate advisory boards
which consist of public safety partners, local and tribal government
officials, business groups, non-profits, representatives of access and
functional needs and vulnerable communities, and academic
5 / 13
2
organizations to advise on best practices for wildfire issues and
safety, community preparedness, regional coordination and the use
of emerging technologies. All electric investor-owned utilities shall
emulate the approach SDG&E has implemented with its wildfire
advisory board.
De-energization Exercises
The electric investor-owned utilities shall collaborate with the
CPUC, CalFire, CalOES and local emergency response officials to
plan annual de-energization exercises throughout the utility service
territories in the areas with the highest historical and forecasted risk
for de-energization in advance of fire season. The exercises should
consider worst case scenarios of de-energization. The exercises shall
measure de-energizaton program performance during a mock event
and would include items, not limited to, tests of customer and
critical facilities notification and communication systems, tests of
backup power resources, switching and sectionalizing devices,
remote disabling of reclosers and other smart grid technologies,
aerial and ground inspections of lines, functioning of emergency
operations centers, and community resource centers. Lessons
learned from these exercises should be utilized to modify the design
and implementation of de-energization program elements.
Who Should Receive Notice, When Should Notice Occur, and How
Should Notice Occur?
The electric investor-owned utilities shall utilize all reasonable
channels of communication to all populations potentially affected by
a de-energization event.
The electric investor-owned utilities shall develop communication
and notification plans with local authorities that anticipates the
disruption of traditional communication channels.
In situations where internet, cellular, or landline-based
communication services are limited, the electric investor-owned
6 / 13
3
utilities should leverage, in coordination with the public safety
partners, public alert systems, public radio broadcasts, and
neighborhood patrols in de-energization event areas.
The electric investor-owned utilities shall ensure there is available
bandwidth capacity, either via a cloud service or on-premise, to
manage a website that provides the public with access to
information about the geographic areas impacted by potential de-
energization events and all other critical information to maintain
public safety prior to, during, and after a de-energization event.
Given the state-wide, national, and international interest in de-
energization events in California, the electric investor owned utilities
shall create and maintain an actionable plan that ensures necessary
bandwidth is immediately available and consistent up to and
through a de-energization event. The electric investor-owned
utilities shall have bandwidth and technological resources available
to serve traffic to all peak demand that will occur as a result of a de-
energization event.
The electric investor-owned utilities shall consult with the California
Department of Technology (CDT) to develop plans with reports to
the CPUC that outline steps for meeting future website and server
performance requirements necessary for effective and uninterrupted
communication to the general public about de-energization events.
The electric investor-owned utilities shall ensure that the public is
able to access precise locality information of potential and active de-
energization event impacted service points. The electric investor -
owned utilities shall make every reasonable attempt available to
ensure all false-negative and false-positive communications are
eliminated and the public is able to access precise and accurate
information regarding the location and duration of potential and
active de-energization events and restoration efforts. In the event a
false-negative or false-positive communication is made, the electric
investor-owned utilities shall promptly and clearly explain why they
were incorrect through a communication to the public and on a
posting on their public website and de-energization webpage.

Furthermore, the electric investor-owned utilities shall explain any
false communications in the post event reports by citing the sources
of changing data. Lessons learned should be incorporated in
ongoing de-energization communications and notifications to
increase their accuracy and effectiveness.
All notifications to customers about potential or active de-
energization events shall be communicated with ease of readability
and comprehension as a priority. The electric investor-owned
utilities shall proactively reach out to the media and community-
based organizations to ensure third party use of all messaging and
map data including application programming interfaces for the de-
energization event is consistent. The electric investor-owned utilities
shall retain and utilize the expertise of emergency situation user
interface and user experience professionals to ensure planned and
executed communication prior to, during, and following a de-
energization event minimizes public confusion.
The electric investor-owned utilities must provide communications
carriers with the meter and circuit IDs to be de-energized and re-
energized to ensure communication carriers receive actionable
notification information that can inform proactive deployment of
resources to minimize the impact of the de-energization events on
communications infrastructure.
Community Resource Centers
The electric investor-owned utilities, through collaboration with
relevant stakeholders, shall design, test and execute on a plan 60
days after issuance of the Phase 2 final decision based on local
demographic and survey data for meeting a variety of safety needs
for vulnerable populations through the provision of community
resource centers (CRCs). The plan should include a protocol for
siting and accessibility of CRC locations, operations and a
determination of the resource needs to best serve the community
members who visit. This plan shall be created with consultation
from the regional local government working groups and the wildfire
8 / 13
5
advisory boards. When feasible, CRCs should be set up in areas
known to the public, such as recreational centers and public office.
Impacted customers should not be required to drive more than 30
minutes to a CRC and CRCs shall be operable 24 hours a day during
an active de-energization event (provided there is no curfew in
effect). Electric investor-owned utilities may staff the CRCs with on-
site security during 24-hour operation.
Restoration of power service upon conclusion of public safety need
for de-energization
The electric investor-owned utilities shall ensure that power service
to impacted service points is restored as soon as possible and no
longer than 24 hours following the conclusion of conditions that
necessitate a de-energization event.
Within one hour of an electric investor-owned utility knowing it will
re-energize a line, it shall inform the public safety partners first and
immediately thereafter the general public. If unintended
circumstances are encountered within this timeframe that prevent a
safe re-energization, then the electric investor-owned utility shall
promptly notify the relevant stakeholders and affected population
and provided an updated re-energization timeframe.
Transportation Resilience
The electric investor-owned utilities shall implement a
transportation resiliency taskforce with local, tribal, Federal and
State government agencies, and other private and public sector
parties to develop a needs assessment and resilience plan in advance
of fire season that would identify and describe transportation
infrastructure and corridors throughout California in need of back
up generation. The electric investor-owned utilities shall prioritize
providing necessary resources to transportation infrastructure that is
geographically located in areas most likely to experience de-
energization events.
9 / 13
6
At a minimum, the transportation resiliency needs assessment
(TRNA) should consider, but not be limited to the following
transportation modes and the corridors and facilities within them:
• Ground – tunnels, bridges, highways, traffic lights and
streetlights (in heavy vehicular corridors, i.e. arterials and
higher capacity roadways), publicly accessible fueling and
charging stations;
• Rail – freight and passenger rail (both heavy and light)
facilities;
• Aviation – airports, air traffic control systems, helicopter
ports, air force facilities;
• Maritime – ports, terminals, ferries, freighters, and naval and
coastguard facilities.
California is committed to the deployment of electric vehicles. By the
2021 wildfire season, each electric investor-owned utility shall
develop and execute a plan to ensure that mobile and deployable
electric vehicle fast charging is available and priority access is
granted to customers, including those serving AFN populations,
potentially impacted by de-energization events, especially along
major transportation corridors. The electric investor-owned utilities
shall design a plan to assess where additional Level 3 charging
stations are needed (e.g. near major transportation corridors), and
where portable battery energy storage and/or fossil generation can
be sited to power them. The electric investor-owned utilities’ public
websites and mobile apps shall communicate the location, number,
and accessibility of all level 3 charging stations and publicly
available Level 2 charging stations in proximity to areas potentially
impacted by de-energization events prior to and during potential or
active de-energization events.
Medical Baseline and Access and Functional Needs Populations
The electric investor-owned utilities shall work in collaboration with
public safety partners, local governments, and access and functional
needs customer advocates to conduct a needs assessment (in
10 / 13
7
conjunction with the working groups and advisor boards). The
needs assessment shall identify current and unsubscribed medical
baseline customers, what if any assistance is needed for these people
during de-energization events, and an evacuation plan for these
populations that specifies transportation and health care resources
that can be provided to them. The electric investor-owned utilities
shall provide a plan to the Commission by May 1, 2020 and
thereafter by January 31 of each following year regarding its
planned efforts to address access and functional needs customers
during de-energization events. The electric investor-owned utilities
shall provide the Commission with monthly updates regarding the
progress towards meeting the established plans and impact of the
efforts to address this population during de-energization events.
The electric investor-owned utilities shall work in collaboration with
local government partners, access and functional needs advocates
and service providers to obtain data needed to identify access and
functional needs populations and utilize various remote and in-
person channels of communication. The utilities and partner
organizations should prioritize their efforts for ident ification, contact
and communication with the disabled, elderly, pregnant women,
children, and those with severe injuries or chronic conditions.
Transparency
During any potential or active de-energization event the electric
investor-owned utilities must provide on its website a thorough and
detailed indication of the quantitative and qualitative factors it
considered in calling, sustaining, or curtailing each de-energization
event (including information regarding why the de-energization
event was a last resort option) and a specification of what factors
must be present for the de-energization event to be concluded.
Year-round, and including during any potential or active de-
energization event, the electric investor-owned utilities must include
comprehensive information that is available on their websites
regarding de-energization mitigation efforts including asset and
11 / 13
8
vegetation management, sectionalizing, switching, system
hardening, and backup power projects they are undertaking to
reduce the need for or scope of de-energization events, progress on
implementing de-energization mitigation efforts to date, and
planned dates of completion. The utilities shall provide information
that is in alignment with publicly available information issued in the
de-energization related proceedings (i.e. de-energization order
instituting an investigation, Wildfire Mitigation Plan and Microgrid
proceedings).
The electric investor-owned utilities shall file and serve de-
energization roadmaps with the Commission on an annual basis,
beginning April 15, 2020, that explain and provide specification
regarding their short, medium, and long term plans for reducing the
impact and need of de-energization events to mitigate wildfire risk.
The electric investor-owned utilities shall make the de-energization
roadmaps available on their public websites. The utilities shall
provide roadmap information that is in alignment with publicly
available information issued in the de-energization related
proceedings (i.e. de-energization order instituting an investigation,
Wildfire Mitigation Plan and Microgrid proceedings).
Definitions
9-1-1 emergency services must be included in the definition of
critical facilities to ensure 9-1-1 emergency services receive priority
notification and any additional assistance necessary to ensure
resiliency during de-energization events.
The transportation sector should be included in the list of critical
facilities and infrastructure to ensure transportation resilience is a
priority during de-energization events. This definition includes
facilities associated with automobile, rail, aviation and maritime
transportation for civilian and military purposes.

RE: Public Comments on Rulemaking 18-12-005 – Order Instituting Rulemaking to
Examine Electric Utility De-Energization of Power Lines in Dangerous Conditions
Dear President Batjer and Commissioners:
This letter is in response to the January 30, 2020, Administrative Law Judge’s Ruling Requesting Comments on
Proposed Additional and Modified De-Energization Guidelines. We believe that the proposed modified
guidelines are an appropriate step in establishing the activities needed to ensure that utility public safety
partners and electric utility customers receive the necessary resources from utilities before, during and after
Public Safety Power Shut-off (PSPS) events.
We note that the proposed guidelines were developed before the COVID-19 pandemic and do not reflect new
guidance from health officials for maintaining physical distance and related measures, which could affect the
operation of community resource centers, restoration of electricity service, and other activities. The guidelines
should be flexible enough to quickly incorporate the latest health guidance. It would be helpful for the utilities
to publicly provide a list of critical infrastructure facilities that need to be handled differently in a PSPS, and to
further identify changes necessitated by the current pandemic.
Contra Costa County (County) generally supports the proposed modified guidelines and appreciates the
opportunity to provide public comments to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on this matter.
The County also supports the comments submitted by the Joint Local Governments (attached) on behalf of the
Counties of Kern, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Sonoma and the City
of Santa Rosa. In addition to the comments submitted by the Joint Local Governments, we recommend the
following:

Working Groups and Advisory Boards
• The Commission should consider requiring the investor-owned utilities (IOUs) take advantage of
existing County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and California Office of Emergency
Services (CalOES) planning activities. IOUs should be required to participate in all existing
EOC and CalOES planning meetings and as appropriate, integrate it with the proposed Working
Group and Advisory Board process outlined by the Commission. Every county has a robust
schedule of emergency response planning activities. Our experience has been that PG&E does
not participate regularly in these existing venues. Please see the attached schedule as an
example of the level of coordination that exists already. The Commission should take advantage
of existing coordination venues before establishing new ones.
Local De-energization Exercises
• Investor-owned utilities should be required to participate in all De-energization Exercises
conducted by local agencies, at minimum annually.
Who Should Receive Notice, When Should Notice Occur, and How Should Notice Occur?
• Contra Costa County supports the requirement for the utilities to maintain up-to-date websites.
This information should be made available to the entire community and must be available in the
languages spoken in each utility’s service area. Because not all people have access to the
internet, particularly historically underserved communities, this information should also be made
available in appropriate languages by telephone, television, radio, social media, door-to-door
notification, and other tested strategies for reaching diverse populations. The draft guidelines do
not indicate when notice should be provided. More time to prepare is better. Contra Costa
County suggests that two days minimum should be the goal for advance notification.
Community Resource Centers
• The draft Guidelines call on the utilities to establish community resource centers that “shall be
operable 24 hours a day during an active de-energization event.” The draft Guidelines envision
these resources centers will be in recreational centers and public offices. Most of these local
government facilities are neither staffed nor resourced to operate on a 24/7 schedule. If the
Commission pursues this avenue, it should ensure that costs to operate and maintain community
resource centers are borne by the utilities, and not by local governments.
Restoration of power service upon conclusion of public safety need for de-energization
• The Commission should consider issuing financial or other penalties to IOUs if power service is
not restored within 24 hours following the conclusion of conditions that necessitated a de-
energization event.
Thank you for allowing us to provide public comment on this matter. We look forward to working with the
Commission, other stakeholders, and PG&E to ensure that PSPS events are better executed in the future.
Sincerely,
Candace Andersen
Chair, Board of Supervisors

In accordance with the January 30, 2020 Administrative Law Judge’s Ruling
Requesting Comments on Proposed Additional and Modified De-Energization Guidelines, the
Counties of Kern, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and
Sonoma and the City of Santa Rosa (the Joint Local Governments) submit their opening
comments on the proposed changes to the Commission’s de-energization rules.1 Mendocino,
Napa, and Sonoma obtained party status in the first phase of this proceeding by filing comments
on the Rulemaking; Santa Rosa obtained party status in ALJ Semcer’s March 20, 2019 email
ruling; San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara obtained party status in ALJ Semcer’s October 16,
2019 email ruling; Marin obtained party status in ALJ Semcer’s November 8, 2019 email ruling;
Kern County obtained party status during the December 4, 2019 prehearing conference; and
Nevada County received party status in ALJ Poirier’s January 6, 2020 email ruling.
1 Because the Joint Local Governments are located in the service territories of PG&E and SCE, these
comments focus on those utilities’ PSPS protocols.

- 2 -
I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the proposed guidelines and
appreciate the Commission’s continued commitment to ensuring that utility public safety
partners and vulnerable customers receive the necessary information, partnership, and mitigation
from the utilities before, during, and after PSPS events. The success of the utilities’ revised
PSPS programs will ultimately be determined by the utilities’ implementation of the
Commission’s directives, but the new guidelines do show that the Commission has taken
seriously the input of local communities and impacted customers. To that end, the Joint Local
Governments make the following recommendations to ensure the revised PSPS guidelines will,
if implemented effectively, provide significant and achievable benefits to the utilities’ customers
and communities:
Pre-Fire Season Planning Activity Deadlines
March 31, 2020: Utilities provide planning information to all local and
tribal governments;
April 30, 2020: Utilities provide full accounting of agreements with
community-based organizations for Access and Functional Needs (AFN)
individuals, and additional organizations and resources are identified;
May 31, 2020: Utilities will have completed PSPS exercises with local
public safety partners.
Working Groups and Advisory Boards
The focus of the working groups should be identifying and developing
going-forward improvements, not continued sharing of lessons learned
from 2019;
9
- 3 -
The utilities’ 2020 protocols should also include mitigation measures for
AFN populations and for public safety partners;
The working groups should also be a forum for local public safety partners
and AFN representatives to troubleshoot the utilities’ revised PSPS
protocols;
“Regional” working groups should be defined with reference to county
Operational Areas, but certain working groups may encompass multiple-
county areas (e.g., north bay, east bay, north coast) to promote efficiency
and encourage information-sharing. It is important, however, to take into
account geographical and community-specific conditions when designing
the working groups;
The utilities must provide meaningful coordination and information-
sharing to all local governments and tribes on request, not just those that
experienced de-energizations in 2019, to promote local PSPS planning and
response efforts;
Working group participants should have the opportunity to provide written
responses to the utilities’ monthly reports to the CPUC.
De-Energization Exercises
Local governments must be treated equally with state agencies for
purposes of emergency planning, including the same level of information-
sharing and coordination from the utilities that CalOES, CalFIRE, and the
Commission currently receive;
10
- 4 -
PSPS exercises must be conducted according to Incident Command
Structure protocols;
The utilities’ local operations personnel and EOC teams should spend time
in local government EOCs during table-top exercises, drills, and/or EOC
activations;
The Commission’s Safety and Enforcement Division and/or Wildfire
Safety Division staff should spend time in local government EOCs during
drills or events;
The requirement that de-energization exercises consider worst-case
scenarios is potentially problematic. De-energization exercises must be
designed to meet local emergency managers’ needs and must recognize
the limitations of the utilities’ experience and capabilities;
The de-energization exercises should include at least one table-top and one
functional exercise;
Any AFN organizations or agencies that are partnering with the utilities to
provide resources during PSPS events should be involved in the pre-fire
season planning process.
Who Should Receive Notice When, and How
Because the vast majority of public warning systems stop functioning
when cell towers are down, the opportunities for planning communications
strategies under these circumstances are limited. The utilities might
consider investing in NOAA/NWS radios, which are designed to function
during disasters;
11
- 5 -
The “readability” requirements for PSPS materials must include accessible
formats across all media platforms.
Community Resource Centers
The utilities must work with local governments, state advisory boards, and
AFN representatives to ensure that CRCs are designed and deployed to
meet the needs of vulnerable customers;
CRCs must provide charging resources for medical equipment, not just
small electronic devices.
Medical Baseline and AFN Populations
The requirement to develop an evacuation plan for AFN populations is
infeasible, given the wide array of individual needs, specific community
resources and local conditions, and the unknown footprint and duration of
future PSPS events;
Local stakeholders and utilities can, however, develop a robust
information-sharing process to identify existing resources and agencies in
a particular area and identify additional resources to meet unfilled needs;
The utilities should also work with durable medical equipment providers,
local health departments, medical care facilities, and other service and care
providers to increase awareness of the medical baseline program and boost
enrollment.
II. COMMENTS ON ADDITIONAL AND MODIFIED GUIDELINES
While the proposed revisions and new PSPS guidelines should, once
implemented, improve the utilities’ PSPS programs and reduce impacts to the public, there

appears to be a timing problem. The new guidelines call for a number of working groups,
committees, and monthly coordination meetings to put new protocols in place before the 2020
fire season (or before the first PSPS of 2020). The schedule for Phase 2 of this proceeding calls
for a final Commission decision in May, which could leave as little as a month before PSPS
events begin.2 If the utilities wait until the requirements to collaborate with community
stakeholders are officially adopted, the Joint Local Governments doubt that much progress will
be made this year. It would be helpful if the Commission, utilities, and parties agreed to certain
pre-decision deadlines to ensure improvements are in place in time. The Joint Local
Governments recommend the following:
By March 31, 2020: Utilities will have provided planning information to
all local and tribal governments that request it. Planning information
should include historical weather information and de-energization risk
analyses, circuit and transmission configuration information, critical
facilities, medical baseline and other vulnerable customers, and potential
outage scenarios.
By April 30, 2020: Utilities will have provided a full accounting of all
agreements or partnerships in place with community-based organizations
and other agencies to provide resources to AFN individuals during PSPS
events. Based on that information, the utilities, local and tribal
governments, public safety partners, and AFN representatives will have
identified, to the extent possible, additional resources and agencies
available to provide assistance to AFN populations during PSPS events.
2 PG&E’s first PSPS of 2019 began on June 8.
13
- 7 -
By May 31, 2020: Utilities will have held a minimum of one table-top and
one functional exercise with local governments and public safety partners.
The exercises should be planned and conducted at the Operational Area3
(county) level, which will allow each Operational Area to coordinate with
the necessary local stakeholders, such as cities, for attendance and
participation. PG&E must not prioritize large-scale exercises with
multiple local stakeholders over smaller-scale exercises with Operational
Areas.
A. Working Groups and Advisory Boards
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the requirement that the utilities
convene working groups with local and tribal governments, public safety partners, and
representatives of AFN and vulnerable communities,4 though the working group framework
needs a number of clarifications to ensure the meetings are productive. Many of the problems
with the 2019 PSPS events were rooted in the fact that the utilities failed to meet with the
communities they serve to understand the on-the-ground impacts of PSPS events, the specific
community and population needs, and how close coordination before the fire season would result
in safer and better-executed de-energizations.
The Joint Local Governments suggest that, instead of focusing on sharing lessons
learned from the 2019 PSPS events, the working groups focus on identifying and developing
going-forward improvements to the utilities’ PSPS programs.5 The requirement that the utilities’
protocols for 2020 include the provision of CRCs, communication strategies, information
sharing, identification of critical facilities and AFN customers, and contingency plans is
3 See 19 Cal. Code Regs § 2409.
4 Proposed Guidelines, p. 1.

- 8 -
appropriate, though mitigation measures and resources for AFN populations and local public
safety partners should also be included. The requirement that the utilities develop their de-
energization protocols with feedback from the working group is important to the success of the
utilities’ 2020 PSPS programs.6 The Joint Local Governments recommend that the working
group meetings also be a forum for local governments and tribes, public safety partners, and
AFN representatives to discuss and troubleshoot the utilities’ revised PSPS protocols. It is not
enough that the utilities take feedback and interpret it on their own or in partnership with state
agencies. The stakeholders that the utilities’ improvements are intended to benefit must have a
say in the development process, otherwise we will likely see a slew of unsuitable and unhelpful
tools.
To ensure that the working groups are effective, a number of logistical and
practical issues must be clarified:
Definition of “regional”: There is an inherent difficulty in defining “regional”
because local stakeholders have different geographic parameters for their jurisdictions and
service areas. From an emergency management standpoint, a number of pre-defined regions
exist in California. The county-level Operational Areas are at the more granular end of the
spectrum, while CalOES has three large regions that cover the entire state (Coastal, Inland, and
Southern) and six mutual aid regions within those larger regions.7 While the state and local
emergency management regions dictate the structure by which incidents are handled by and
between state and local agencies, the regions do not necessarily correlate to tribal lands or to the
areas served by community-based organizations. Based on the principle that all emergencies are
local, the Joint Local Governments recommend that “regional” be defined with reference to
6 Ibid.
7 See CalOES Regional Operations website: https://www.caloes.ca.gov/cal-oes-divisions/regional-
operations.
15
- 9 -
county boundaries, but the working group may encompass multiple-county areas (e.g., north bay,
east bay, north coast) to promote efficiency and encourage information-sharing, and to better
reflect the service areas of local organizations and tribal jurisdictions. It is important, however,
to take into account geographical and community-specific conditions when designing the
working groups. For example, the drive times for Kern County’s Office of Emergency
Management staff and other stakeholders to attend meetings in neighboring counties is
prohibitive, whereas it may be less onerous for stakeholders in the north bay region.
Utility attendees: It is critical to the success of any PSPS working group, practice
exercise, or planning meeting that PG&E and SCE send the right delegates. At a minimum, the
utilities need to send local operational staff who know the local electrical systems and how they
impact the community, EOC staff who are responsible for coordinating with or providing
information to local governments and public safety partners, and the public safety partners’
dedicated points of contact. The utilities cannot simply send their local government affairs reps,
as they did to little effect during the 2019 PSPS education campaigns. Local governments and
stakeholders will ensure that their own delegates have the requisite knowledge and expertise to
make the meetings worthwhile.
Leveraging existing stakeholder committees: The local stakeholders identified in
the proposed guidelines already have a number of existing committees, working groups, boards,
and professional associations that meet regularly. For example, the California Emergency
Services Association is a statewide professional organization dedicated to promoting mutual
support and cooperation in preparing for public emergencies. Napa County’s Public Health
Officer is on the Board of the California Conference of Local Health Officers (CCLHO), which
is a statewide organization. At the local level, Sonoma County has the Sonoma County AFN
16
- 10 -
Committee, the Sonoma County Shelter Council (which frequently discusses residents’ medical
needs), the Sonoma County Operational Area–Emergency Coordinators Forum, the Sonoma
County Healthcare Coalition–Healthcare Forum Meeting (for Emergency Managers, Public
Health Officers, hospitals, hospices, and many skilled nursing facilities), the Individuals with
Developmental and Neurological Disabilities Advisory Committee, and the Countywide
Quarterly Meeting of Emergency Public Information Officers. Additionally, the Napa Valley
Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) has Public Information & Outreach and
AFN/Shelter & Care Subcommittees. Other counties have COADs or volunteer organizations
(VOADs), as well. While it is likely not feasible or necessary to involve every established
organization in the regional working group process, the expertise and preexisting organizational
structures these groups offer should be leveraged using delegates or other means of coordination,
either as part of the working group process or the advisory board process.
Partnership with all local governments: It is also important that the utilities
provide meaningful coordination and information-sharing with local governments that were not
de-energized in 2019. PG&E expanded its PSPS program in 2019 so that the entirety of its
service territory is at theoretical risk of de-energization.8 Many communities outside the high
fire threat areas are connected to PG&E transmission lines that run through high fire threat areas.
Cities and counties all over the state are trying to develop PSPS preparedness plans and to
understand the potential impacts to their communities from a de-energization event, and to do
that they need information from the utilities. San Luis Obispo County, for example, was stymied
in its planning efforts in 2019 because PG&E was reluctant to provide information on potentially
impacted medical baseline customers—despite the fact that the County signed PG&E’s NDA—
because San Luis Obispo was not in immediate danger of experiencing a PSPS. While PG&E
8 PG&E 2019 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, p. 96.
17
- 11 -
did eventually provide some information to assist the County in its planning efforts, the process
of obtaining that information was difficult. In 2020, the Commission must ensure that the
utilities provide planning information to local governments on request.
The requirement that the utilities report monthly to the Commission on their
progress with the working groups is also critical.9 Given the difficulties the utilities experienced
in implementing the 2019 PSPS requirements, it is important that the Commission monitor
implementation of the 2020 requirements closely and that the utilities have incentives to make
the most of the working group process. The non-utility working group participants should also
have the opportunity to provide written comments on the utilities’ reports if they feel the reports
are not accurate. A 10- or 15-day comment period would be acceptable.
The Joint Local Governments support the proposed requirement that the utilities
also coordinate advisory boards comprised of public safety partners, local and tribal government
officials, business groups, non-profits, AFN and vulnerable community representatives, and
academic organizations to advise on best practices for wildfire issues, safety, community
preparedness, regional coordination, and the use of emerging technologies.10 Meaningful
wildfire and de-energization reductions will not be achieved by relying solely on the utilities to
provide solutions.
B. De-Energization Exercises
The importance of in-person exercises and functional drills to prepare for de-
energization events cannot be overstated. Professional emergency management and response
agencies routinely refresh their training and certifications, participate in table-top exercises, drill
with other agencies, and refine their protocols in response to issues that arise during the
9 Proposed Guidelines, p. 1.
10 Proposed Guidelines, pp. 1–2.
18
- 12 -
simulated emergencies. The utilities are now in the emergency management business and must
begin doing the same. The Joint Local Governments strongly support the requirement that the
utilities collaborate with state and local emergency response officials to plan annual de-
energization exercises.11 The Joint Local Governments also support the proposed activities to be
included in the table-top exercises, and recommend that additional issues or activities should be
added as necessary to address local conditions or population demographics.
Local governments take the brunt of the utilities’ emergency management
shortcomings and are, by default, left to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the utilities’
customers. To ensure that the de-energization exercises provide the maximum benefit to local
governments before the 2020 fire season, some additional terms and clarifications to the
proposed guidelines are necessary.
First, it is imperative that local governments be treated equally with state agencies
for emergency planning. In 2019, PG&E routinely provided the state agencies with the highest-
quality information, on the fastest timeline, and appeared to only engage in meaningful
coordination with state agencies.12 As we saw, the result of leaving local governments out of the
room was disastrous. It is also the Joint Local Governments’ understanding that PG&E
cancelled table-top exercises with local governments at the behest of CalOES13; that decision
was made without consulting the impacted local governments and those exercises were never
rescheduled. The bedrock principle of emergency management is that all emergencies are local
and all emergencies are therefore managed at the local level. In 2020, the utilities’ and the state
agencies’ emergency planning and coordination activities must actually reflect the fact that,
when the utilities turn the power off this fall, city and county emergency managers will be in
11 Proposed Guidelines, p. 2.
12 See, e.g., PG&E Advice Letter 4117-G/5582-E.
13 See Joint Local Governments’ Reply Comments on Proposed Decision (R.18-12-005), pp. 3–4.
19
- 13 -
charge of on-the-ground response and public safety. The proposed guidelines should be revised
to make it clear that local governments will receive the same level of information and
coordination from the utilities as CalOES, CalFIRE, and the Commission itself.
Second, the exercises should be conducted using established emergency
management programs, such as SEMS or FEMA’s training programs. The utilities cannot devise
emergency response protocols of their own for purposes of these exercises. One of the largest
issues in the 2019 events was the fact that PG&E did not speak the same language as its state and
local emergency management partners. The exercises must follow Incident Command Structure
protocols, the participants must agree on the content, and the exercises must be facilitated by
experts.
Third, requiring that exercises consider worst-case scenarios for de-energization is
potentially problematic.14 The planning exercises in 2020 must establish a baseline for
communication and operational competence between the utilities and local emergency managers,
particularly for PG&E. The scale and complexity of the exercises must be realistic. If the
utilities interpret “worst-case scenario” to mean replicating the largest October 2019 outage,
without first having engaged in individual county-level exercises to solidify the working
relationship between the utility and local Office of Emergency Management, the large-scale
exercise will be a disaster. A worst-case scenario for individual counties is a more feasible
exercise to orchestrate, but regardless of the scenario, the trite-but-true adage that you cannot run
before you can walk has to govern the PSPS exercises. If PG&E and SCE attempt exercises they
are not prepare to orchestrate, nobody will benefit and nothing will improve. The Commission
should leave the scale of the exercises to be determined between local emergency managers and
their utilities, to ensure that local emergency planning needs are met.
14 Proposed Guidelines, p. 2.
20
- 14 -
Fourth, local utility operations personnel and EOC teams should spend time in
local government EOCs during table-top exercises, drills, or, if possible, EOC activations.
Seeing how fellow agencies operate during simulated or actual events provides significant
insight into the type of coordination and information that is most useful during a crisis. The Joint
Local Governments recommend that Safety and Enforcement Division and/or Wildfire Safety
Division staff also spend time in local EOCs during drills or events. The Commission embedded
liaisons in PG&E’s EOCs during PSPS events in 2019; those liaisons should see the other half of
the de-energization picture.
Fifth, any community-based organizations or other agencies the utilities are
partnering with for AFN customer support and resources should be involved in the pre-fire
season planning. As a threshold matter, it is critical that local governments know which
organizations the utilities are working with and what resources those organizations are prepared
to provide. In 2019, PG&E’s partnership with the California Foundation for Independent Living
Centers (CFILC) was barely publicized above a rumor, and the Joint Local Governments never
learned which Independent Living Centers were participating, what resources they could offer, or
whether AFN residents knew that the resources were available or how to access them. Not only
does this prevent individuals from accessing resources, but it makes emergency planning
difficult. Local governments strive to provide resources they know residents need and cannot
obtain elsewhere. It is also important to establish lines of communication between the utilities,
local governments, and the agencies that will provide resources and assistance to AFN
individuals during de-energizations. This will allow better communication and information-
sharing before, during, and after PSPS events, which will benefit everyone.
21
- 15 -
Sixth, it should be clear that the de-energization exercises include both table-top
exercises and functional drills or exercises. Table-top exercises are discussion-based sessions in
a less formal classroom setting where participants discuss their roles during an emergency and
their response to a particular emergency situation. A facilitator guides participants through a
discussion of one or more scenarios. Functional exercises involve a simulated “operational
environment,” or emergency, that allow participants to validate plans and readiness by
performing their duties in a simulated setting. Functional exercises are designed to exercise
specific team members, procedures, and resources, such as communications, warning,
notifications, and equipment set-up. Both types of exercises are necessary, and the guidelines
should require both.
C. Who Should Receive Notice, When Should Notice Occur, and How Should
Notice Occur?
The Joint Local Governments support the requirement that the utilities develop
communication and notification plans with local authorities that anticipate the disruption of
traditional communication channels.15 Losing communications networks during PSPS events
poses a grave threat to public safety and is one of the primary worries for local governments.
The Joint Local Governments also support the requirement that the utilities provide
communications carriers with the meter and circuit IDs to be de-energized and re-energized, to
ensure that the communications carriers receive actionable notification information and are able
to deploy backup resources to minimize the PSPS impact.16
While the Joint Local Governments support in principle the proposed requirement
for the utilities to leverage public alert systems, public radio broadcasts, and neighborhood
patrols in de-energization event areas in situations where internet, cellular, or landline-based
15 Proposed Guidelines, p. 2.
16 Proposed Guidelines, p. 4.
22
- 16 -
communication services are limited,17 in practice there may be significant limitations. If cellular
towers are down, most public alerting tools and internet are also offline. Landlines and local
terrestrial radio may still function, assuming the communications infrastructure supporting those
technologies is still operating, but the other forms of communication—including emergency alert
systems—will not. To address this issue, the utilities may need to invest in NOAA/NWS
radios,18 which are designed to remain operable during all hazardous events. The feasibility and
efficacy of neighborhood patrols will depend on the individual community, and therefore cannot
be counted on as a widely available solution to communications infrastructure outages.
The proposed guidelines that require the utilities to ensure that their websites are
robust enough to remain operable during PSPS events are excellent,19 as are the requirements to
prioritize ease of readability and comprehension for notifications, and to coordinate with the
media and community-based organizations to promote consistency in messaging.20 It is
important, however, that notifications be “readable” in accessible formats across all media
platforms. The utilities experienced chronic issues with providing fully accessible PSPS
materials in 2019,21 which is an issue that must be addressed before the next wave of PSPS
events begins.
D. Community Resource Centers
The requirement that the utilities collaborate with stakeholders to design, test, and
execute a plan, based on local demographic and survey data, to provide Community Resource

November 23–26, 2019 Event, pp. 3–4.
23
- 17 -
Centers (CRCs) that meet the safety needs of vulnerable populations should be adopted.22
PG&E had a number of issues with its deployment of CRCs in 2019, including inappropriate site
choices, failure to provide resources for individuals with electricity-dependent medical
equipment, limited operating hours, and failure to adequately coordinate with local
governments.23 SCE’s mobile charging vehicles and CRCs also failed to provide charging
resources for most AFN individuals.24 To ensure that, going forward, CRCs are designed and
deployed to meet the needs of vulnerable customers, the utilities must work with local
governments, state advisory boards, and AFN representatives.25
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the requirement that CRCs be
open 24 hours a day during active de-energization events.26 The CRCs must also provide
charging resources for medical equipment. Many medical devices take hours to fully charge, and
CPAP machines and other equipment often must be plugged in overnight to continue
functioning. It is also important to provide a climate-controlled place for individuals who have
lost power in their homes. High daytime temperatures and low overnight temperatures pose a
serious risk to infants, the elderly, and people with certain medical conditions. Due to the
potential for multiple de-energization events in a short period of time, the possibility that events
may last multiple days, and the potential for huge geographic areas to be impacted, it is not
reasonable to expect that individuals who need constant electricity supply will be able to pay for
hotel rooms or find alternative accommodations. The CRCs must provide a safe, energized place
for communities.

26 Id. at p. 5.

- 18 -
E. Restoration of Power Service Upon Conclusion of Public Safety Need for De-
Energization
The Joint Local Governments support the requirements that the utilities ensure
power is restored within 24 hours of the “all clear” for a weather event.27 The requirement to
inform public safety partners within one hour of restoration, and to inform them before the
general public, is also important. Public safety partners must ensure that their facilities are ready
for re-energization, as re-energization can damage equipment, and local governments need
advance notification to ensure that they can provide accurate information to the public.
F. Transportation Resilience
Loss of power to transportation corridors, major and minor, creates significant
public safety risks and increases the number of vehicle accidents. Similarly, de-energization of
other major transportation resources—rail, aviation, maritime—creates safety risks and can have
large economic impacts. The Joint Local Governments support the requirements that the utilities
implement a transportation resiliency taskforce to identify transportation infrastructure and
corridors throughout the state that need backup generation.28 The proposed requirement that the
utilities develop and execute a plan to provide electric vehicle fast charging by the 2021 fire
season should also be adopted.29 These measures should be implemented, however, at the
expense of resources for individuals without personal vehicles or access to reliable
transportation.
G. Medical Baseline and Access and Functional Needs Populations
The proposed collaboration between the utilities, AFN advocates, public safety
partners, and local governments to conduct a needs assessment identifying AFN populations’
27 Proposed Guidelines, p. 5.
28 Id. at pp. 5–6.
29 Id. at p. 6.
25
- 19 -
needs during PSPS events, and identifying current and unsubscribed medical baseline customers
appears to be a good starting point for reducing the impacts of PSPS events on AFN
populations.30 The monthly and annual reporting requirements should also be adopted.31 The
Joint Local Governments look forward to hearing the thoughts and recommendations of AFN
advocates and other public safety partners regarding the sufficiency of the proposed guidelines
and what improvements are necessary.
The Joint Local Governments are concerned about the potential requirement to
develop an evacuation plan for AFN populations.32 Developing an evacuation plan for specific
populations comprised of thousands of individuals with a wide variety of specific needs is not
likely to be feasible—there are too many variables, including the footprint and duration of a
given PSPS event. What local stakeholders and the utilities can do is develop a robust
information-sharing process to identify the existing resources and agencies in a particular area,
understand the limitations on those resources, identify additional resources and agencies that can
provide assistance, and ensure that AFN populations know what resources are available and how
to access them.
The Joint Local Governments also recommend that the utilities also work with
durable medical equipment providers to increase awareness of the medical baseline program,
provide access to application materials, and facilitate the enrollment process in conjunction with
the doctors that prescribe medical equipment. As part of the local government coordination, the
utilities should also work with local Health and Human Services departments, medical care
facilities, dialysis centers, assisted living facilities, and other service and care providers to
30 Id. at pp. 6–7.
31 Id. at p. 7.
32 Ibid.
26
- 20 -
improve identification and outreach to medically vulnerable individuals regarding PSPS
preparedness and resources.
H. Transparency
The Joint Local Governments support the requirement that detailed quantitative
and qualitative information about PSPS events be provided on utility websites, and that
comprehensive information on PSPS mitigation efforts be provided year-round.33 The proposed
utility de-energization roadmaps34 should, if adopted, provide public safety partners and the
public with information that will inform local and individual resiliency planning, which will
ultimately help reduce the impacts of PSPS events.
I. Definitions
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the inclusion of 911 emergency
services in the definition of critical facilities.35 The requirement that 911 emergency services
also receive any additional assistance necessary to ensure resiliency during PSPS events must be
adopted.36 The continuous operation of 911 emergency services during de-energizations is
necessary for ensuring public health and safety.
The Joint Local Governments also support the inclusion of the transportation
sector in the list of critical facilities.37
III. CONCLUSION
The proposed new and revised guidelines are excellent and, with some
clarifications and adjustments, should improve customers’ and communities’ experiences with
the utilities’ PSPS events going forward—if the utilities implement the guidelines properly. The

RE: Public Comments on Rulemaking 18-12-005 – Order Instituting Rulemaking to
Examine Electric Utility De-Energization of Power Lines in Dangerous Conditions
Dear President Batjer and Commissioners:
This letter is in response to the January 30, 2020, Administrative Law Judge’s Ruling Requesting Comments on
Proposed Additional and Modified De-Energization Guidelines. We believe that the proposed modified
guidelines are an appropriate step in establishing the activities needed to ensure that utility public safety
partners and electric utility customers receive the necessary resources from utilities before, during and after
Public Safety Power Shut-off (PSPS) events.
We note that the proposed guidelines were developed before the COVID-19 pandemic and do not reflect new
guidance from health officials for maintaining physical distance and related measures, which could affect the
operation of community resource centers, restoration of electricity service, and other activities. The guidelines
should be flexible enough to quickly incorporate the latest health guidance. It would be helpful for the utilities
to publicly provide a list of critical infrastructure facilities that need to be handled differently in a PSPS, and to
further identify changes necessitated by the current pandemic.
Contra Costa County (County) generally supports the proposed modified guidelines and appreciates the
opportunity to provide public comments to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on this matter.
The County also supports the comments submitted by the Joint Local Governments (attached) on behalf of the
Counties of Kern, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Sonoma and the City
of Santa Rosa. In addition to the comments submitted by the Joint Local Governments, we recommend the

Working Groups and Advisory Boards
• The Commission should consider requiring the investor-owned utilities (IOUs) take advantage of
existing County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and California Office of Emergency
Services (CalOES) planning activities. IOUs should be required to participate in all existing
EOC and CalOES planning meetings and as appropriate, integrate it with the proposed Working
Group and Advisory Board process outlined by the Commission. Every county has a robust
schedule of emergency response planning activities. Our experience has been that PG&E does
not participate regularly in these existing venues. Please see the attached schedule as an
example of the level of coordination that exists already. The Commission should take advantage
of existing coordination venues before establishing new ones.
Local De-energization Exercises
• Investor-owned utilities should be required to participate in all De-energization Exercises
conducted by local agencies, at minimum annually.
Who Should Receive Notice, When Should Notice Occur, and How Should Notice Occur?
• Contra Costa County supports the requirement for the utilities to maintain up-to-date websites.
This information should be made available to the entire community and must be available in the
languages spoken in each utility’s service area. Because not all people have access to the
internet, particularly historically underserved communities, this information should also be made
available in appropriate languages by telephone, television, radio, social media, door-to-door
notification, and other tested strategies for reaching diverse populations. The draft guidelines do
not indicate when notice should be provided. More time to prepare is better. Contra Costa
County suggests that two days minimum should be the goal for advance notification.
Community Resource Centers
• The draft Guidelines call on the utilities to establish community resource centers that “shall be
operable 24 hours a day during an active de-energization event.” The draft Guidelines envision
these resources centers will be in recreational centers and public offices. Most of these local
government facilities are neither staffed nor resourced to operate on a 24/7 schedule. If the
Commission pursues this avenue, it should ensure that costs to operate and maintain community
resource centers are borne by the utilities, and not by local governments.
Restoration of power service upon conclusion of public safety need for de-energization
• The Commission should consider issuing financial or other penalties to IOUs if power service is
not restored within 24 hours following the conclusion of conditions that necessitated a de-
energization event.
Thank you for allowing us to provide public comment on this matter. We look forward to working with the
Commission, other stakeholders, and PG&E to ensure that PSPS events are better executed in the future.
Sincerely,
Candace Andersen

JOINT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS’ OPENING COMMENTS
ON PROPOSED ADDITIONAL AND MODIFIED DE-
ENERGIZATION GUIDELINES
In accordance with the January 30, 2020 Administrative Law Judge’s Ruling
Requesting Comments on Proposed Additional and Modified De-Energization Guidelines, the
Counties of Kern, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and
Sonoma and the City of Santa Rosa (the Joint Local Governments) submit their opening
comments on the proposed changes to the Commission’s de-energization rules.1 Mendocino,
Napa, and Sonoma obtained party status in the first phase of this proceeding by filing comments
on the Rulemaking; Santa Rosa obtained party status in ALJ Semcer’s March 20, 2019 email
ruling; San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara obtained party status in ALJ Semcer’s October 16,
2019 email ruling; Marin obtained party status in ALJ Semcer’s November 8, 2019 email ruling;
Kern County obtained party status during the December 4, 2019 prehearing conference; and
Nevada County received party status in ALJ Poirier’s January 6, 2020 email ruling.
1 Because the Joint Local Governments are located in the service territories of PG&E and SCE, these
comments focus on those utilities’ PSPS protocols.

I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the proposed guidelines and
appreciate the Commission’s continued commitment to ensuring that utility public safety
partners and vulnerable customers receive the necessary information, partnership, and mitigation
from the utilities before, during, and after PSPS events. The success of the utilities’ revised
PSPS programs will ultimately be determined by the utilities’ implementation of the
Commission’s directives, but the new guidelines do show that the Commission has taken
seriously the input of local communities and impacted customers. To that end, the Joint Local
Governments make the following recommendations to ensure the revised PSPS guidelines will,
if implemented effectively, provide significant and achievable benefits to the utilities’ customers
and communities:
Pre-Fire Season Planning Activity Deadlines
March 31, 2020: Utilities provide planning information to all local and
tribal governments;
April 30, 2020: Utilities provide full accounting of agreements with
community-based organizations for Access and Functional Needs (AFN)
individuals, and additional organizations and resources are identified;
May 31, 2020: Utilities will have completed PSPS exercises with local
public safety partners.
Working Groups and Advisory Boards
The focus of the working groups should be identifying and developing
going-forward improvements, not continued sharing of lessons learned
from 2019;
9
- 3 -
The utilities’ 2020 protocols should also include mitigation measures for
AFN populations and for public safety partners;
The working groups should also be a forum for local public safety partners
and AFN representatives to troubleshoot the utilities’ revised PSPS
protocols;
“Regional” working groups should be defined with reference to county
Operational Areas, but certain working groups may encompass multiple-
county areas (e.g., north bay, east bay, north coast) to promote efficiency
and encourage information-sharing. It is important, however, to take into
account geographical and community-specific conditions when designing
the working groups;
The utilities must provide meaningful coordination and information-
sharing to all local governments and tribes on request, not just those that
experienced de-energizations in 2019, to promote local PSPS planning and
response efforts;
Working group participants should have the opportunity to provide written
responses to the utilities’ monthly reports to the CPUC.
De-Energization Exercises
Local governments must be treated equally with state agencies for
purposes of emergency planning, including the same level of information-
sharing and coordination from the utilities that CalOES, CalFIRE, and the
Commission currently receive;
10
- 4 -
PSPS exercises must be conducted according to Incident Command
Structure protocols;
The utilities’ local operations personnel and EOC teams should spend time
in local government EOCs during table-top exercises, drills, and/or EOC
activations;
The Commission’s Safety and Enforcement Division and/or Wildfire
Safety Division staff should spend time in local government EOCs during
drills or events;
The requirement that de-energization exercises consider worst-case
scenarios is potentially problematic. De-energization exercises must be
designed to meet local emergency managers’ needs and must recognize
the limitations of the utilities’ experience and capabilities;
The de-energization exercises should include at least one table-top and one
functional exercise;
Any AFN organizations or agencies that are partnering with the utilities to
provide resources during PSPS events should be involved in the pre-fire
season planning process.
Who Should Receive Notice When, and How
Because the vast majority of public warning systems stop functioning
when cell towers are down, the opportunities for planning communications
strategies under these circumstances are limited. The utilities might
consider investing in NOAA/NWS radios, which are designed to function
during disasters;
11
- 5 -
The “readability” requirements for PSPS materials must include accessible
formats across all media platforms.
Community Resource Centers
The utilities must work with local governments, state advisory boards, and
AFN representatives to ensure that CRCs are designed and deployed to
meet the needs of vulnerable customers;
CRCs must provide charging resources for medical equipment, not just
small electronic devices.
Medical Baseline and AFN Populations
The requirement to develop an evacuation plan for AFN populations is
infeasible, given the wide array of individual needs, specific community
resources and local conditions, and the unknown footprint and duration of
future PSPS events;
Local stakeholders and utilities can, however, develop a robust
information-sharing process to identify existing resources and agencies in
a particular area and identify additional resources to meet unfilled needs;
The utilities should also work with durable medical equipment providers,
local health departments, medical care facilities, and other service and care
providers to increase awareness of the medical baseline program and boost
enrollment.
II. COMMENTS ON ADDITIONAL AND MODIFIED GUIDELINES
While the proposed revisions and new PSPS guidelines should, once
implemented, improve the utilities’ PSPS programs and reduce impacts to the public, there
12
- 6 -
appears to be a timing problem. The new guidelines call for a number of working groups,
committees, and monthly coordination meetings to put new protocols in place before the 2020
fire season (or before the first PSPS of 2020). The schedule for Phase 2 of this proceeding calls
for a final Commission decision in May, which could leave as little as a month before PSPS
events begin.2 If the utilities wait until the requirements to collaborate with community
stakeholders are officially adopted, the Joint Local Governments doubt that much progress will
be made this year. It would be helpful if the Commission, utilities, and parties agreed to certain
pre-decision deadlines to ensure improvements are in place in time. The Joint Local
Governments recommend the following:
By March 31, 2020: Utilities will have provided planning information to
all local and tribal governments that request it. Planning information
should include historical weather information and de-energization risk
analyses, circuit and transmission configuration information, critical
facilities, medical baseline and other vulnerable customers, and potential
outage scenarios.
By April 30, 2020: Utilities will have provided a full accounting of all
agreements or partnerships in place with community-based organizations
and other agencies to provide resources to AFN individuals during PSPS
events. Based on that information, the utilities, local and tribal
governments, public safety partners, and AFN representatives will have
identified, to the extent possible, additional resources and agencies
available to provide assistance to AFN populations during PSPS events.
2 PG&E’s first PSPS of 2019 began on June 8.
13
- 7 -
By May 31, 2020: Utilities will have held a minimum of one table-top and
one functional exercise with local governments and public safety partners.
The exercises should be planned and conducted at the Operational Area3
(county) level, which will allow each Operational Area to coordinate with
the necessary local stakeholders, such as cities, for attendance and
participation. PG&E must not prioritize large-scale exercises with
multiple local stakeholders over smaller-scale exercises with Operational
Areas.
A. Working Groups and Advisory Boards
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the requirement that the utilities
convene working groups with local and tribal governments, public safety partners, and
representatives of AFN and vulnerable communities,4 though the working group framework
needs a number of clarifications to ensure the meetings are productive. Many of the problems
with the 2019 PSPS events were rooted in the fact that the utilities failed to meet with the
communities they serve to understand the on-the-ground impacts of PSPS events, the specific
community and population needs, and how close coordination before the fire season would result
in safer and better-executed de-energizations.
The Joint Local Governments suggest that, instead of focusing on sharing lessons
learned from the 2019 PSPS events, the working groups focus on identifying and developing
going-forward improvements to the utilities’ PSPS programs.5 The requirement that the utilities’
protocols for 2020 include the provision of CRCs, communication strategies, information
sharing, identification of critical facilities and AFN customers, and contingency plans is
3 See 19 Cal. Code Regs § 2409.
4 Proposed Guidelines, p. 1.

- 8 -
appropriate, though mitigation measures and resources for AFN populations and local public
safety partners should also be included. The requirement that the utilities develop their de-
energization protocols with feedback from the working group is important to the success of the
utilities’ 2020 PSPS programs.6 The Joint Local Governments recommend that the working
group meetings also be a forum for local governments and tribes, public safety partners, and
AFN representatives to discuss and troubleshoot the utilities’ revised PSPS protocols. It is not
enough that the utilities take feedback and interpret it on their own or in partnership with state
agencies. The stakeholders that the utilities’ improvements are intended to benefit must have a
say in the development process, otherwise we will likely see a slew of unsuitable and unhelpful
tools.
To ensure that the working groups are effective, a number of logistical and
practical issues must be clarified:
Definition of “regional”: There is an inherent difficulty in defining “regional”
because local stakeholders have different geographic parameters for their jurisdictions and
service areas. From an emergency management standpoint, a number of pre-defined regions
exist in California. The county-level Operational Areas are at the more granular end of the
spectrum, while CalOES has three large regions that cover the entire state (Coastal, Inland, and
Southern) and six mutual aid regions within those larger regions.7 While the state and local
emergency management regions dictate the structure by which incidents are handled by and
between state and local agencies, the regions do not necessarily correlate to tribal lands or to the
areas served by community-based organizations. Based on the principle that all emergencies are
local, the Joint Local Governments recommend that “regional” be defined with reference to
6 Ibid.
7 See CalOES Regional Operations website: https://www.caloes.ca.gov/cal-oes-divisions/regional-
operations.
15
- 9 -
county boundaries, but the working group may encompass multiple-county areas (e.g., north bay,
east bay, north coast) to promote efficiency and encourage information-sharing, and to better
reflect the service areas of local organizations and tribal jurisdictions. It is important, however,
to take into account geographical and community-specific conditions when designing the
working groups. For example, the drive times for Kern County’s Office of Emergency
Management staff and other stakeholders to attend meetings in neighboring counties is
prohibitive, whereas it may be less onerous for stakeholders in the north bay region.
Utility attendees: It is critical to the success of any PSPS working group, practice
exercise, or planning meeting that PG&E and SCE send the right delegates. At a minimum, the
utilities need to send local operational staff who know the local electrical systems and how they
impact the community, EOC staff who are responsible for coordinating with or providing
information to local governments and public safety partners, and the public safety partners’
dedicated points of contact. The utilities cannot simply send their local government affairs reps,
as they did to little effect during the 2019 PSPS education campaigns. Local governments and
stakeholders will ensure that their own delegates have the requisite knowledge and expertise to
make the meetings worthwhile.
Leveraging existing stakeholder committees: The local stakeholders identified in
the proposed guidelines already have a number of existing committees, working groups, boards,
and professional associations that meet regularly. For example, the California Emergency
Services Association is a statewide professional organization dedicated to promoting mutual
support and cooperation in preparing for public emergencies. Napa County’s Public Health
Officer is on the Board of the California Conference of Local Health Officers (CCLHO), which
is a statewide organization. At the local level, Sonoma County has the Sonoma County AFN
16
- 10 -
Committee, the Sonoma County Shelter Council (which frequently discusses residents’ medical
needs), the Sonoma County Operational Area–Emergency Coordinators Forum, the Sonoma
County Healthcare Coalition–Healthcare Forum Meeting (for Emergency Managers, Public
Health Officers, hospitals, hospices, and many skilled nursing facilities), the Individuals with
Developmental and Neurological Disabilities Advisory Committee, and the Countywide
Quarterly Meeting of Emergency Public Information Officers. Additionally, the Napa Valley
Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) has Public Information & Outreach and
AFN/Shelter & Care Subcommittees. Other counties have COADs or volunteer organizations
(VOADs), as well. While it is likely not feasible or necessary to involve every established
organization in the regional working group process, the expertise and preexisting organizational
structures these groups offer should be leveraged using delegates or other means of coordination,
either as part of the working group process or the advisory board process.
Partnership with all local governments: It is also important that the utilities
provide meaningful coordination and information-sharing with local governments that were not
de-energized in 2019. PG&E expanded its PSPS program in 2019 so that the entirety of its
service territory is at theoretical risk of de-energization.8 Many communities outside the high
fire threat areas are connected to PG&E transmission lines that run through high fire threat areas.
Cities and counties all over the state are trying to develop PSPS preparedness plans and to
understand the potential impacts to their communities from a de-energization event, and to do
that they need information from the utilities. San Luis Obispo County, for example, was stymied
in its planning efforts in 2019 because PG&E was reluctant to provide information on potentially
impacted medical baseline customers—despite the fact that the County signed PG&E’s NDA—
because San Luis Obispo was not in immediate danger of experiencing a PSPS. While PG&E
8 PG&E 2019 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, p. 96.
17
- 11 -
did eventually provide some information to assist the County in its planning efforts, the process
of obtaining that information was difficult. In 2020, the Commission must ensure that the
utilities provide planning information to local governments on request.
The requirement that the utilities report monthly to the Commission on their
progress with the working groups is also critical.9 Given the difficulties the utilities experienced
in implementing the 2019 PSPS requirements, it is important that the Commission monitor
implementation of the 2020 requirements closely and that the utilities have incentives to make
the most of the working group process. The non-utility working group participants should also
have the opportunity to provide written comments on the utilities’ reports if they feel the reports
are not accurate. A 10- or 15-day comment period would be acceptable.
The Joint Local Governments support the proposed requirement that the utilities
also coordinate advisory boards comprised of public safety partners, local and tribal government
officials, business groups, non-profits, AFN and vulnerable community representatives, and
academic organizations to advise on best practices for wildfire issues, safety, community
preparedness, regional coordination, and the use of emerging technologies.10 Meaningful
wildfire and de-energization reductions will not be achieved by relying solely on the utilities to
provide solutions.
B. De-Energization Exercises
The importance of in-person exercises and functional drills to prepare for de-
energization events cannot be overstated. Professional emergency management and response
agencies routinely refresh their training and certifications, participate in table-top exercises, drill
with other agencies, and refine their protocols in response to issues that arise during the
9 Proposed Guidelines, p. 1.
10 Proposed Guidelines, pp. 1–2.

- 12 -
simulated emergencies. The utilities are now in the emergency management business and must
begin doing the same. The Joint Local Governments strongly support the requirement that the
utilities collaborate with state and local emergency response officials to plan annual de-
energization exercises.11 The Joint Local Governments also support the proposed activities to be
included in the table-top exercises, and recommend that additional issues or activities should be
added as necessary to address local conditions or population demographics.
Local governments take the brunt of the utilities’ emergency management
shortcomings and are, by default, left to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the utilities’
customers. To ensure that the de-energization exercises provide the maximum benefit to local
governments before the 2020 fire season, some additional terms and clarifications to the
proposed guidelines are necessary.
First, it is imperative that local governments be treated equally with state agencies
for emergency planning. In 2019, PG&E routinely provided the state agencies with the highest-
quality information, on the fastest timeline, and appeared to only engage in meaningful
coordination with state agencies.12 As we saw, the result of leaving local governments out of the
room was disastrous. It is also the Joint Local Governments’ understanding that PG&E
cancelled table-top exercises with local governments at the behest of CalOES13; that decision
was made without consulting the impacted local governments and those exercises were never
rescheduled. The bedrock principle of emergency management is that all emergencies are local
and all emergencies are therefore managed at the local level. In 2020, the utilities’ and the state
agencies’ emergency planning and coordination activities must actually reflect the fact that,
when the utilities turn the power off this fall, city and county emergency managers will be in
11 Proposed Guidelines, p. 2.
12 See, e.g., PG&E Advice Letter 4117-G/5582-E.
13 See Joint Local Governments’ Reply Comments on Proposed Decision (R.18-12-005), pp. 3–4.
19
- 13 -
charge of on-the-ground response and public safety. The proposed guidelines should be revised
to make it clear that local governments will receive the same level of information and
coordination from the utilities as CalOES, CalFIRE, and the Commission itself.
Second, the exercises should be conducted using established emergency
management programs, such as SEMS or FEMA’s training programs. The utilities cannot devise
emergency response protocols of their own for purposes of these exercises. One of the largest
issues in the 2019 events was the fact that PG&E did not speak the same language as its state and
local emergency management partners. The exercises must follow Incident Command Structure
protocols, the participants must agree on the content, and the exercises must be facilitated by
experts.
Third, requiring that exercises consider worst-case scenarios for de-energization is
potentially problematic.14 The planning exercises in 2020 must establish a baseline for
communication and operational competence between the utilities and local emergency managers,
particularly for PG&E. The scale and complexity of the exercises must be realistic. If the
utilities interpret “worst-case scenario” to mean replicating the largest October 2019 outage,
without first having engaged in individual county-level exercises to solidify the working
relationship between the utility and local Office of Emergency Management, the large-scale
exercise will be a disaster. A worst-case scenario for individual counties is a more feasible
exercise to orchestrate, but regardless of the scenario, the trite-but-true adage that you cannot run
before you can walk has to govern the PSPS exercises. If PG&E and SCE attempt exercises they
are not prepare to orchestrate, nobody will benefit and nothing will improve. The Commission
should leave the scale of the exercises to be determined between local emergency managers and
their utilities, to ensure that local emergency planning needs are met.

Fourth, local utility operations personnel and EOC teams should spend time in
local government EOCs during table-top exercises, drills, or, if possible, EOC activations.
Seeing how fellow agencies operate during simulated or actual events provides significant
insight into the type of coordination and information that is most useful during a crisis. The Joint
Local Governments recommend that Safety and Enforcement Division and/or Wildfire Safety
Division staff also spend time in local EOCs during drills or events. The Commission embedded
liaisons in PG&E’s EOCs during PSPS events in 2019; those liaisons should see the other half of
the de-energization picture.
Fifth, any community-based organizations or other agencies the utilities are
partnering with for AFN customer support and resources should be involved in the pre-fire
season planning. As a threshold matter, it is critical that local governments know which
organizations the utilities are working with and what resources those organizations are prepared
to provide. In 2019, PG&E’s partnership with the California Foundation for Independent Living
Centers (CFILC) was barely publicized above a rumor, and the Joint Local Governments never
learned which Independent Living Centers were participating, what resources they could offer, or
whether AFN residents knew that the resources were available or how to access them. Not only
does this prevent individuals from accessing resources, but it makes emergency planning
difficult. Local governments strive to provide resources they know residents need and cannot
obtain elsewhere. It is also important to establish lines of communication between the utilities,
local governments, and the agencies that will provide resources and assistance to AFN
individuals during de-energizations. This will allow better communication and information-
sharing before, during, and after PSPS events, which will benefit everyone.
21

Sixth, it should be clear that the de-energization exercises include both table-top
exercises and functional drills or exercises. Table-top exercises are discussion-based sessions in
a less formal classroom setting where participants discuss their roles during an emergency and
their response to a particular emergency situation. A facilitator guides participants through a
discussion of one or more scenarios. Functional exercises involve a simulated “operational
environment,” or emergency, that allow participants to validate plans and readiness by
performing their duties in a simulated setting. Functional exercises are designed to exercise
specific team members, procedures, and resources, such as communications, warning,
notifications, and equipment set-up. Both types of exercises are necessary, and the guidelines
should require both.
C. Who Should Receive Notice, When Should Notice Occur, and How Should
Notice Occur?
The Joint Local Governments support the requirement that the utilities develop
communication and notification plans with local authorities that anticipate the disruption of
traditional communication channels.15 Losing communications networks during PSPS events
poses a grave threat to public safety and is one of the primary worries for local governments.
The Joint Local Governments also support the requirement that the utilities provide
communications carriers with the meter and circuit IDs to be de-energized and re-energized, to
ensure that the communications carriers receive actionable notification information and are able
to deploy backup resources to minimize the PSPS impact.16
While the Joint Local Governments support in principle the proposed requirement
for the utilities to leverage public alert systems, public radio broadcasts, and neighborhood
patrols in de-energization event areas in situations where internet, cellular, or landline-based
15 Proposed Guidelines, p. 2.
16 Proposed Guidelines, p. 4.
22
- 16 -
communication services are limited,17 in practice there may be significant limitations. If cellular
towers are down, most public alerting tools and internet are also offline. Landlines and local
terrestrial radio may still function, assuming the communications infrastructure supporting those
technologies is still operating, but the other forms of communication—including emergency alert
systems—will not. To address this issue, the utilities may need to invest in NOAA/NWS
radios,18 which are designed to remain operable during all hazardous events. The feasibility and
efficacy of neighborhood patrols will depend on the individual community, and therefore cannot
be counted on as a widely available solution to communications infrastructure outages.
The proposed guidelines that require the utilities to ensure that their websites are
robust enough to remain operable during PSPS events are excellent,19 as are the requirements to
prioritize ease of readability and comprehension for notifications, and to coordinate with the
media and community-based organizations to promote consistency in messaging.20 It is
important, however, that notifications be “readable” in accessible formats across all media
platforms. The utilities experienced chronic issues with providing fully accessible PSPS
materials in 2019,21 which is an issue that must be addressed before the next wave of PSPS
events begins.
D. Community Resource Centers
The requirement that the utilities collaborate with stakeholders to design, test, and
execute a plan, based on local demographic and survey data, to provide Community Resource

November 23–26, 2019 Event, pp. 3–4.
23
- 17 -
Centers (CRCs) that meet the safety needs of vulnerable populations should be adopted.22
PG&E had a number of issues with its deployment of CRCs in 2019, including inappropriate site
choices, failure to provide resources for individuals with electricity-dependent medical
equipment, limited operating hours, and failure to adequately coordinate with local
governments.23 SCE’s mobile charging vehicles and CRCs also failed to provide charging
resources for most AFN individuals.24 To ensure that, going forward, CRCs are designed and
deployed to meet the needs of vulnerable customers, the utilities must work with local
governments, state advisory boards, and AFN representatives.25
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the requirement that CRCs be
open 24 hours a day during active de-energization events.26 The CRCs must also provide
charging resources for medical equipment. Many medical devices take hours to fully charge, and
CPAP machines and other equipment often must be plugged in overnight to continue
functioning. It is also important to provide a climate-controlled place for individuals who have
lost power in their homes. High daytime temperatures and low overnight temperatures pose a
serious risk to infants, the elderly, and people with certain medical conditions. Due to the
potential for multiple de-energization events in a short period of time, the possibility that events
may last multiple days, and the potential for huge geographic areas to be impacted, it is not
reasonable to expect that individuals who need constant electricity supply will be able to pay for
hotel rooms or find alternative accommodations. The CRCs must provide a safe, energized place
for communities.

E. Restoration of Power Service Upon Conclusion of Public Safety Need for De-
Energization
The Joint Local Governments support the requirements that the utilities ensure
power is restored within 24 hours of the “all clear” for a weather event.27 The requirement to
inform public safety partners within one hour of restoration, and to inform them before the
general public, is also important. Public safety partners must ensure that their facilities are ready
for re-energization, as re-energization can damage equipment, and local governments need
advance notification to ensure that they can provide accurate information to the public.
F. Transportation Resilience
Loss of power to transportation corridors, major and minor, creates significant
public safety risks and increases the number of vehicle accidents. Similarly, de-energization of
other major transportation resources—rail, aviation, maritime—creates safety risks and can have
large economic impacts. The Joint Local Governments support the requirements that the utilities
implement a transportation resiliency taskforce to identify transportation infrastructure and
corridors throughout the state that need backup generation.28 The proposed requirement that the
utilities develop and execute a plan to provide electric vehicle fast charging by the 2021 fire
season should also be adopted.29 These measures should be implemented, however, at the
expense of resources for individuals without personal vehicles or access to reliable
transportation.
G. Medical Baseline and Access and Functional Needs Populations
The proposed collaboration between the utilities, AFN advocates, public safety
partners, and local governments to conduct a needs assessment identifying AFN populations’
27 Proposed Guidelines, p. 5.
28 Id. at pp. 5–6.
29 Id. at p. 6.
25
- 19 -
needs during PSPS events, and identifying current and unsubscribed medical baseline customers
appears to be a good starting point for reducing the impacts of PSPS events on AFN
populations.30 The monthly and annual reporting requirements should also be adopted.31 The
Joint Local Governments look forward to hearing the thoughts and recommendations of AFN
advocates and other public safety partners regarding the sufficiency of the proposed guidelines
and what improvements are necessary.
The Joint Local Governments are concerned about the potential requirement to
develop an evacuation plan for AFN populations.32 Developing an evacuation plan for specific
populations comprised of thousands of individuals with a wide variety of specific needs is not
likely to be feasible—there are too many variables, including the footprint and duration of a
given PSPS event. What local stakeholders and the utilities can do is develop a robust
information-sharing process to identify the existing resources and agencies in a particular area,
understand the limitations on those resources, identify additional resources and agencies that can
provide assistance, and ensure that AFN populations know what resources are available and how
to access them.
The Joint Local Governments also recommend that the utilities also work with
durable medical equipment providers to increase awareness of the medical baseline program,
provide access to application materials, and facilitate the enrollment process in conjunction with
the doctors that prescribe medical equipment. As part of the local government coordination, the
utilities should also work with local Health and Human Services departments, medical care
facilities, dialysis centers, assisted living facilities, and other service and care providers to
30 Id. at pp. 6–7.
31 Id. at p. 7.
32 Ibid.

improve identification and outreach to medically vulnerable individuals regarding PSPS
preparedness and resources.
H. Transparency
The Joint Local Governments support the requirement that detailed quantitative
and qualitative information about PSPS events be provided on utility websites, and that
comprehensive information on PSPS mitigation efforts be provided year-round.33 The proposed
utility de-energization roadmaps34 should, if adopted, provide public safety partners and the
public with information that will inform local and individual resiliency planning, which will
ultimately help reduce the impacts of PSPS events.
I. Definitions
The Joint Local Governments strongly support the inclusion of 911 emergency
services in the definition of critical facilities.35 The requirement that 911 emergency services
also receive any additional assistance necessary to ensure resiliency during PSPS events must be
adopted.36 The continuous operation of 911 emergency services during de-energizations is
necessary for ensuring public health and safety.
The Joint Local Governments also support the inclusion of the transportation
sector in the list of critical facilities.37
III. CONCLUSION
The proposed new and revised guidelines are excellent and, with some
clarifications and adjustments, should improve customers’ and communities’ experiences with
the utilities’ PSPS events going forward—if the utilities implement the guidelines properly. The

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
client, the California Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit an attorney from representing a client if the
representation is directly adverse to another client in the same or a separate matter. (Rule 1.7)
In this instance, the interests of the County and the District are adverse with respect to the Subject
Matter because the County and the District may have different goals and objectives with respect to that
matter. The Subject Matter, however, is unrelated to the work the firm does for the County. And the
firm has expressed the belief that representing the District in the Subject Matter will not compromise its
ability to represent the County competently or its ability to maintain its duty of loyalty and
confidentiality to the County.
Attached is a letter from Hanson Bridgett that describes the conflict waiver request in more detail.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the conflict waiver is not granted, Hanson Bridgett would not be able to represent the District in
connection with the Subject Matter. The result would likely be a delay in the negotiation between the
County and the District.

Conflict Waiver
RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONTINUE the emergency action originally taken by the Board of Supervisors on November 16, 1999
regarding the issue of homelessness in Contra Costa County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the provisions of
Government Code Section 8630 on homelessness in Contra Costa County.
Government Code Section 8630 requires that, for a body that meets weekly, the need to continue the
emergency declaration be reviewed at least every 60 days until the local emergency is terminated. The
Board of Supervisors last reviewed and continued the emergency declaration on March 31, 2020.
Nevertheless, with the continuing high number of homeless individuals and insufficient funding available to
assist in sheltering all homeless individuals and families, the emergency situation still exists and it is,
therefore, appropriate for the Board to continue the declaration of a local emergency regarding
homelessness.
