MAC
Submitted by:
David Graas, Chairperson
Activities and Accomplishments
The primary goals of the MAC in 2010 and going forward was, and is, to increase
community awareness and participation at the monthly MAC meetings.
We successfully scheduled monthly guest speakers, who brought timely and
pertinent information to the folks of our community. Presentations included
speakers from the following groups:
Heart Health
BIMID
Code Enforcement
Neighborhood Preservation
Public Works
Small Water Systems
Vector Control
Bridge Updates
Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee
The MAC board’s activities and efforts have resulted in some major improvement
and changes in 2010:
1. MAC continues working with East Contra Costa Fire Protection District,
promoting the sale and installation of reflective house number signs that
allow the firefighters easier location of island addresses. To date, we
have installed more than 360 signs on island resident properties.
2. The MAC Board is currently working with community residents and Marine
Patrol to add additional signage to our local waterways. We have
identified specific locations where water craft historically and habitually
violate “NO WAKE” and “5 MPH” zones (both on private docks and
existing pilings), and have installed additional signage in those locations.
3. The island-wide “DRY HYDRANT” water system is underway. This
system will allow the fire department access to filtered Delta water at
various locations on our levees. This will greatly aid firefighters in our
community during fire emergencies.
4. MAC members regularly meet with the Contra Costa County Code
Enforcement group to establish a list of enforcement priorities that meet
the needs of the community, as well as the county enforcement folks.
5. The island Emergency Preparedness group had to cancel the safety Fair,
due to lack of funding. This effort provides the community needed
information and education in case of an emergency or natural disaster on
our island and we will try to secure funding for 2011.
MEMBERSHIP
The current MAC board is very dedicated, hard working, and proactive in the
Bethel Island community. We feel that we have made significant and positive
influence in our community.
David Graas will continue as chairperson through December 2010. A new
chairperson will be nominated at the December 2010 meeting.
