AYE: District I Supervisor John Gioia, District II Supervisor Candace Andersen, District III Supervisor Diane Burgis, District IV Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District V Supervisor Federal D. Glover D.12 CONSIDER update on COVID 19; and PROVIDE direction to staff. Health Department - Anna Roth, Director and Dr. Farnitano, Health Officer1. Code Enforcement - Randy Sawyer, Environmental Health and John Kopchik, Director of Conservation and Development 2. Stacey Grassini, Senior Deputy District Attorney, said the special protection unit assigned to enforce the health order consists of three deputy district attorneys, two senior inspectors, and one paralegal. The group was formed when the health order became active in March. He said most referrals come from the health services call center with a very small number from law enforcement. Every complaint is tracked from beginning to end. The unit prefers an educational approach to compliance with the order. Complaints are reviewed by a deputy district attorney and determinations are made whether the business is essential or not. Health Services assists in questions regarding the essential designation. An inspector is available if needed to verify that appropriate measures are being implemented in businesses that are operation. He notes that over 200 businesses have been contacted. The vast majority are in compliance, with a letter being sent to those who are not outlining the health ramifications and the consequences of non-complaince. They can file misdemeanor charges if necessary. To date, voluntary compliance has been excellent and no charges have been filed against any business. Gary Koeppel, Deputy District Attorney, said the enforcement unit has agreed to be the contact persons for state agencies. They have been contacted by the department of industrial relations that oversees CalOSHA, the Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, and Alcohol and Beverage Control. The Department of Emergency Services has acted as a sort of clearinghouse for the different agencies. He noted it is not a traditional type of task force. Different agencies are acting independently and operating within their own jurisdictions. For instance, the cosmetology board would direct their focus on the licensing of the hair salons and barbers to see if they are in compliance with closure orders as a nonessential business. Networking between the agencies is a work in progress. Feedback has been positive. He said people should continue to report violations to the Covid-19 hotline at Health Services or the non-emergency number for the local police force. A referral will be made to the protection unit for follow-up to the District Attorney’s office to facilitate action by the appropriate agency and inspectors. The Environmental Health inspectors go to facilities such as restaurants, auto repair shops, and gasoline stations. They are creating handouts to assist the businesses. Their approach is to gain compliance through education. Those who refuse to comply will be referred to the District Attorney for follow up. Mr. Twa, County Administrator, noted that funds for Covid-19 are received from the state, one fund from the Governor and one fund from the CARES Act. Receiving those funds requires being able to certify that the county is in compliance with state orders. The Board expressed a desire to greater encourage compliance with the health order without charging violators with a misdemeanor. An ordinance to authorize administrative penalties (fines) would be such an avenue. Anna Roth, Health Services Director and Chris Farnitano, Health Officer summarized changes since the last report on June 23 2020. Cases across the state continue to rise, with over 7,000 deaths. Contra Costa County has been added to the state’s monitoring list. Yesterday the Governor updated the statewide health order: No dine in restaurants, no wineries or tasting rooms, no movie theaters, no family entertainment centers, bowling alleys or miniature golf or batting cages Museums are closed as well as card rooms, brew hubs and breweries must close all indoor and outdoor statewide unless they are offering sit down meals. In Contra Costa, closed operations, based on the government's order is fitness centers, worship services indoor, protests indoor, offices for nonessential sectors, personal care services, body waxing tattoo parlors, Barber shops and indoor malls. In three weeks there has been a nearly 100% increase in cases in Contra Costa. On June 23rd the total number of cases was 2586. Today there are 5023, an increase of 2497 cases - in only three weeks. 92 lives have been lost. There is growing evidence that there is widespread community transmission with the highest case rates in our low-income communities, the more diverse communities where we know people have to go out of the home working or for other reasons. The positivity rate (number of tests that are positive) has risen from 3% to 8%. The over 20% rise in hospitalization rate has placed the county on the state monitoring list. While testing is steadily increasing overall, it continues to be a challenge. The current average wait on the phone to schedule a test is 22 minutes. County testing sites have slots open about 7 days out, state sites about 14 days out. Receiving test results is frequently in excess of five days. The laboratories need more staff to get testing turnaround faster. Ms. Roth assures all that testing and results are completely confidential. Contact tracing is also confidential. This information will not be shared outside the health service agencies. For the dashboard and information on Covid-19, please go to cchealth.org. For non-emergency questions and to schedule testing, please call 1-844-729-8410.

CONSIDER directing staff to prepare a sales tax ordinance and resolution calling for election, including but not limited to, potential sales tax rate and duration. FISCAL IMPACT: No immediate fiscal impact. The Board of Supervisors is being asked to receive a report on polling completed in June 2020 for a potential sales tax measure on the November 2020 ballot. In addition, the Board is being asked to determine whether to move forward with a sales tax measure for the November 2020 ballot. BACKGROUND: At the November 4th meeting of the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors, committee members Gioia and Mitchoff discussed the formulation of a Potential Sales Tax Measure Ad Hoc Committee and considered input from staff and community members. The Ad Hoc Committee was tasked with activating a larger, self-identified working group consisting of representatives APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 07/14/2020 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District IV Supervisor Federal D.

ATTESTED: July 14, 2020 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: D. 3 To:Board of Supervisors From:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Update on Potential Half-Cent General Countywide Sales Tax Measure BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) of Community-Based Organizations, Labor Organizations, and members of the public charged with the development and formulation of a Needs Assessment. All willing participants were invited to attend and participate. The first meeting of the Ad Hoc committee occurred on Monday, November 18, 2019. At this meeting, Supervisors Gioia and Mitchoff directed staff to work with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration on the logistics of listing a ballot measure and setting up collection contracts. Staff also was directed to forward to the full Board of Supervisors the Committee’s recommendation to begin discussions with County Lobbyists regarding special legislation required to list a measure on the ballot. Additionally, staff was directed to forward to the full Board of Supervisors the recommendation to acknowledge that the Governor would need to sign said special legislation. The Ad Hoc committee concluded by directing district staff members Chris Wikler (Supervisor Mitchoff’s office) and Sonia Bustamante (Supervisor Gioia’s office) to staff the working group. The Working Group convened for its first meeting on Monday December 2, 2019. At that meeting, Mariana Moore of the Ensuring Opportunity Campaign & Josh Anijar of the Contra Costa Central Labor Council were selected by those in attendance to serve as co-chairs of the working group. The Working Group began to identify top-line vision statements and values to guide the creation of a Needs Assessment report, as well as form smaller sub-groups to study specific issues and matters relative to the larger goal of a general sales tax for County services. The Working Group subsequently met on five occasions over the months of December, January and February. Members worked to distill and clarify the underserved needs of the county and identified several thematic areas: Health and Emergency Services, Safety Net Services, Housing, and Early Childhood Services. The group also retained Jim Ross of Telegraph LLC, a communications firm, to advise the Working Group and assist with the formulation of the Needs Assessment Report. Mr. Ross’ services along with a poll of likely voters on a potential general services sales tax conducted by pollsters FM3 were funded by labor unions and CBOs who participated in the Working Group process. On Wednesday, April 8th, Senator Steve Glazer amended Senate Bill 1349 to include language providing relief to the County and cities within the County for future transaction and use tax measures. The bill was immediately referred to the Senate Governance and Finance Committee. The Senate Governance and Finance Committee hearing on SB 1349 was scheduled for Thursday, May 21st. Supervisor Gioia along with Concord Mayor Tim McGallian testified in support of the measure at the Senate committee meeting on May 21st. Additionally, Chief Assistant County Administrator Tim Ewell and Concord City Manager Valerie Barone have coordinated with cities in the County to collect letters of support for the bill. The Potential Sales Tax Measure Ad Hoc Committee convened a meeting via video teleconference on May 13th to receive the finalized Needs Assessment Report from the Working Group and provide direction to staff. Supervisor Mitchoff noted the need for additional polling to determine the viability of the measure, as well as her perspective that public safety should be a part of any ballot measure in November. Supervisor Gioia agreed that there needs to be additional polling and suggested that the co-chairs could bring further polling information when presenting the Needs Assessment to the Board of Supervisors. Supervisors Mitchoff and Gioia agreed to direct staff to forward the Needs Assessment Report to the full Board of Supervisors, for consideration and direction to staff on next steps regarding the Potential County-wide General Sales Tax measure at the May 26th meeting of the Board of Supervisors. On May 26th, the Board received an update on the status of Senate Bill 1349 and a presentation of the Needs Assessment assembled by the Working Group. At that time, Senate Bill 1349 had been heard in the Senate Governance and Finance Committee the previous week, but was ultimately scheduled for reconsideration by the Committee due to a procedural issue on May 28th. The Committee authorized the reconsideration and ultimately voted the bill out of Committee on June 3rd. The bill was passed on the Senate Floor on June 11th and had been sent to the Assembly for consideration. In addition, after receiving a report on the Needs Assessment, the Board directed the Working Group to return in mid-June with additional information about a second poll, including the number of people to be polled, the type of questions put forth and the cost. On June 16th, the Board authorized a cost share of $10,000 from the County to assist in polling the community regarding the potential sales tax measure. Today's action includes an update on the results of the poll and requests direction from the Board as to whether a sales tax ordinance should be drafted for future consideration by the Board. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Board of Supervisors will not receive the polling results from the June 2020 poll or determine whether or not to move forward with the tax measure.

RECEIVED an update on polling for a potential sales tax measure to be listed on the November 2020 ballot; and DIRECTED staff to prepare a sales tax ordinance and resolution calling for election, including but not limited to, potential sales tax rate and duration.

(T- PPIC) First, I would like to ask you about a statewide measure that will appear on the ballot in November. As you may know, under Proposition 13 passed by the California voters in 1978, residential and commercial property taxes are both strictly limited. This measure would have commercial properties taxed according to their current market value and direct some of this new tax revenue to state funding for K-through-12 public schools. If the election were held today, would you vote yes in favor of this measure, or no to oppose it? (IF YES/NO, ASK:) Will you definitely vote (YES/NO) or just probably?

To date, over 30 million jobless claims have been filed in the United States. Contra Costa County is feeling the impacts as more individuals and families are finding new ways to stay housed, keep food on the table, and receive necessary medical care. Even before the recent Covid-19 pandemic, Contra Costa County faced extreme public health risks arising from shortages in county budgeting and spending. With over 150 eligibility worker vacancies, Contra Costa County’s most vulnerable residents struggle to obtain life-saving and stabilizing services. A $32 million budget gap at the County Hospital is likely to be an increasing cost and may result in the closure of invaluable health programs and staff redundancies. Coupled with a lack of funding for necessary medical practitioners at community-based health resources, it is clear that the emergency preparedness for the county and residents must be addressed. As funding dries up and vital public and nonprofit services become less accessible, residents are experiencing increased wait times for health and safety-net services. County first responders are reporting an uptick in non- emergency call-outs as residents are lacking options on where and how to obtain the care they need. As the adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To shore up access to medical and behavioral health services, and bolster county safety-net programs, the Board of Supervisors has charged us with assessing the needs of our county residents in the context of a potential 0.5% sales tax increase. 01CONTRA COSTA COUNTY NEEDS ASSESSMENT Findings •As many cities within, and the County overall, are struggling with budget deficits, the COVID-19 response has exposed the need for new revenue streams to support county residents during unprecedented emergencies. •Under-investment in preventative and safety-net services is creating an increase in costs to taxpayers and county coffers. •Without the financial resources to fund resident health, safety-net, affordable housing and early childcare services, inexorably taxpayers are spending more to address bigger problems arising from shortfalls in the accessibility and availability of early interventions. •Targeted investments would save the county money by reducing emergency service expenditures. •As part of County emergency medical preparedness, it is imperative that the County Hospital, medical clinics and community-based health resources remain accessible and available for residents. •By creating a new revenue source, the county can reduce the dependence on money from the general fund in addressing county public health and safety-net needs. 1 https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-number-of-confirmed-cases-in-contra-costa-county-is-up-to-16/ “Before being enrolled in CARES, managing my diabetes was more difficult. I often missed work when my blood sugar was too high. With CARES, I don’t have to worry about the cost of the appointment or lab tests. And Brookside keeps me on track by calling me when it’s time for my next appointment. Having access to medicine has helped stabilize my health.” - County Resident “During a regular check-up, I saw a child who exhibited behavioral problems and other signs of urgent mental health challenges. I initially referred the family to a mental health service provider in the same clinic, but due to restrictions the clinic was unable to treat the child without a diagnosis. I then referred them to a non-profit service provider, but their waiting list was too long. Finally, I reached out to a mental health provider that I know personally in hopes that my young patient could be seen. However, a few months later at my patient’s next check-up, the child was still awaiting diagnosis as the parent had not heard from any of the providers which I attempted to refer them to.” - Local Pediatrician “Since the Family Justice Center began tracking interpersonal violence data in 2015, we have observed an uptick in domestic violence, violence against children and elders, sexual assault, and human trafficking in Contra Costa County. By removing barriers to services, victims have found it easier to seek the interventions they need to change their lived experience. As we enter week 7 of the regional shelter-in-place order, we are witnessing an alarming increase in police reports of domestic abuse, and anecdotal stories of child and elder abuse. But the fact that formal child abuse reports have declined by 50% and elder abuse by 30% since shelter-in-place began makes all of us worried. In times of county emergency and prosperity, reliable public funding is critical to protect the vulnerable in our community and break cycles of abuse.” - Susun Kim Executive Director 02 Voices from the Community Needs Assessment: Health and Emergency Services County health services require a new funding source to keep facilities open and preserve the accessibility of medical care so that any patient – regardless of income or background – can receive the treatment they need to maintain their wellness. The County’s ability to respond to emergencies and provide crisis funding for both emergency services and medical facilities has been accentuated during COVID-19. Even before the current pandemic, residents faced the closure of the county’s only public hospital and medical clinics which provide life-saving care within our community. Already Contra Costa Regional Medical Center has seen a hiring freeze that has impacted hiring and forced some clinics to cut hours. In addition to the county hospital, community-based health care clinics, like La Clínica de la Raza, are integral to providing quality care to vulnerable populations in Contra Costa County. More than ever, it is critical to ensure that these clinics have the funds that they need to employ appropriate numbers of healthcare professionals to meet the cultural and geographic needs of county residents. To ensure community health, fire districts across the county must operate efficiently and effectively. Since July 20172, a lack of funding in East Contra Costa has resulted in the operation of only 3 east county stations covering 259 square miles and over 120,000 residents. This lack of resources has placed additional pressure on neighboring fire districts, mainly the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, which now respond to east county emergencies four times out of every one occasion that an east county station has capacity to respond. Determinants of wellness extend beyond physical and mental health care and are further described in the safety-net section of this report. The needs of public and community health facilities include: Backfill funding for the current hospital deficit Adequate medical provider staffing to deliver appropriate levels of care, maintain accessible treatment hours and reflect cultural and geographic diversity Reopening closed fire districts to ensure efficient emergency response ² Analysis of the District's Legal Authority and Obligation to Provide Fire Protection Services, September 29, 2017. As income disparity grows in Contra Costa County, safety-net programs reduce economic inequities. By adding public and nonprofit critical wraparound services for county residents- including child and elder abuse protection, behavioral health, alcohol or substance abuse treatment programs, legal advocacy for low-income and undocumented residents, and social service and workforce development for residents re-entering society, we begin to level the playing field and navigate pathways toward holistic wellness. Needs Assessment: Safety Net Programs Across Contra Costa County in 2017, 21.7%3 of county residents fell below 200 percent of the poverty level, with the worst levels (46.6%) in San Pablo. In the current pandemic, an April 2020 report from the Economic Roundtable indicated that 40% of county workers face a high risk of unemployment, with 84% deemed “not essential,” 62% unable to work from home, and 40% who are not salaried employees4. Since 2016, Contra Costa County has lacked a combined 178 county social workers and eligibility workers who are instrumental in assisting county residents experiencing poverty and homelessness access state and federally funded programs to help meet their needs. To comprehensively manage community needs during this medical emergency, and in times of prosperity, our food banks must have sustainable inventories, legal advocacy and community outreach require adequate staffing and funding to help residents obtain full government benefits, prevent eviction, and link residents with healthcare benefits, interpersonal violence protection, emergency housing, and job training and re-entry programs as we’re able to reopen our economies.

A small, but targeted investment by the county would fill these vacancies to help our most vulnerable residents access services to meet their needs. Bolster county funding for safety-net providers – e.g. alcohol and substance abuse treatment, interpersonal violence prevention, and legal advocacy– struggling to operate in Contra Costa County with rising day-to-day costs. Increasing the availability and accessibility of county’s safety-net programs will prevent vulnerable individuals from needing to rely on county fire and emergency services for lower level of care needs. 3 http://www.vitalsigns.mtc.ca.gov/poverty 4In Harms Way, Daniel Flaming and Patrick Burns, April 2020 03 2,860 2017 2,983 2018 4,134 2019 Domestic Violence Screening Calls Needs Assessment: Housing Needs Assessment: Early Childhood California has a serious housing crisis and Contra Costa County is experiencing more than its share of the crisis. The California Housing Partnership found that Contra Costa needs 32,000 affordable rental homes to meet demand from very-low-income and extremely-low-income residents5. This low-income housing scarcity, and the resulting dramatic rise in rents, is a leading cause of homelessness, with 2,295 people experiencing homelessness – more than 70% of them unsheltered – in the 2019 point-in-time count – a 43% increase since 2017. 6 Solving our housing crisis is beyond the scope of the revenue to be generated by the proposed sales tax, but these revenues could be used as County matching funds to leverage new State funding for affordable housing production and preservation, and to alleviate homelessness. Some of the proven programs to meet our housing needs that could be implemented or supplemented with new revenue include: Greater investment in homelessness prevention – cost-effective, one-time or short-term assistance to keep people at risk of homelessness in their homes. This strategy is used effectively by Contra Costa’s homelessness Continuum of Care and should be supplemented. Develop of community land trusts or similar housing trusts for pre-development investment in land acquisition. Funding for rent subsidies, such as existing Rapid Rehousing programs, to stem the tide of displacement and help meet the housing needs of low-income residents. In a very real sense, housing is healthcare. Unsheltered homeless people make an average of five emergency-room visits each year and providing them with housing has been shown to significantly reduce emergency-room visits and their overall healthcare costs. Numerous studies have shown that housing can be provided at less cost than the additional use of emergency-room and related healthcare and additional law-enforcement interactions that come from living on the streets. Children and Infants are one of Contra Costa County’s most vulnerable populations. Research shows that a child’s brain develops most dramatically during the first five years of life, yet far too many children in Contra Costa County lack access to high- quality early learning and care services and childhood comprehensive health needed. Studies show that every dollar invested in early education saves seventeen dollars in reduced costs for remedial education, incarceration and social support.7 Child care and the child care workforce are of paramount importance as a critical service for economic recovery. Childcare 17,900 children ages 0-5 years who are eligible for subsidized child care cannot access it due to low supply. Child care shortages are caused in part by low wages of child care workers, approximately half of whom are eligible for public assistance despite working. Mental Health 7,000-10,000 children have unserved mental health needs according to reports by Health Providers in the county. 04 5 Contra Costa County’s Housing Emergency Update, May 2019, Danielle M.

ATTESTED: July 14, 2020 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: , Deputy cc: D. 4 To:Board of Supervisors From:TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study BACKGROUND: The Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study (“Study”) (Attachment F) was undertaken with the intent of further developing active transportation (e.g. bicyclists, pedestrians, equestrians, e-bikes) features by analyzing opportunities and constraints within the Corridor. The Study also discusses the potential for accommodating more efficient, long-distance bicycle travel (i.e. bike superhighway). The scope of the Study includes the entire 22 mile length of the Iron Horse Trail within Contra Costa County (State Route 4 to County Line). In August 2018, the County Department of Conservation and Development and Public Works Department initiated the Study. The County contracted with Alta Planning + Design to develop the Study and provide technical analysis. The County also conducted outreach to, and collaborated with all of the cities along the corridor as well as with the following stakeholders: Alamo Municipal Advisory Council Southwest Transportation Advisory Committee (SWAT) TRANSPAC - Central County Regional Transportation Advisory Committee Iron Horse Corridor Management Program Advisory Committee (“IHCMPAC”), City of Dublin East Bay Regional Park District (“EBRPD”) Contra Costa Transportation Authority (“CCTA”) CCTA's Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Bike Concord Bike East Bay Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee City of San Ramon Transportation Advisory Committee 511 Contra Costa Utility companies Local community and advocacy organizations (e.g. Center for Independent Living, Bay Area Outreach + Recreation Program (adaptive sports + recreation)) A summary of Study tasks included: Received public input via web-based mapping tool. Completed technical memos, including the Existing Conditions, Corridor Analysis, Shared Autonomous Vehicle (“SAV”), Demand Analysis and Needs Analysis. Held public outreach events along the Iron Horse Trail in various locations. Defined study goals and develop improvement concepts and evaluation criteria. Convened three Technical Advisory Committee (“TAC”) meetings (October 2018, March and October 2019). Public Outreach The Study benefited from public input through a comprehensive public outreach strategy that surveyed a variety of communities and disciplines. Outreach activities began immediately after initiating the Study and continued through Summer/Fall 2019. County staff and the consultant team engaged in several public and stakeholder outreach events. On December 2, 2018 the consultant team conducted a bike ride of the entire Iron Horse Trail (within Contra Costa County) to help inform our work on the Study. TAC members and members of the public were invited to participate and during the ride were asked to consider the following: How you use the trail today? How you would like to use the trail in the future? Which crossings need improvement? How to improve access to the trail? In January 2019, County staff and the consultant team met with staff from the Center for Independent Living and the Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program representatives to introduce the project and discuss potential project goals. In Spring/Summer 2019, the consultant and County staff held six in-person public engagement events where we received feedback from approximately 260 people. Generally, people expressed a desire for: adding amenities (e.g. lighting, shade, and bike stations), increasing access points, prioritizing trail users at road crossings, and providing user separation along the trail. The online public engagement webmap tool, open from January to August 2019, gathered over 1,100 unique interactions (407 comments and 769 comment likes/votes). Synthesizing this input revealed themes centered primarily around: improving mobility, increasing safety, increasing access/equity and improving the user experience. Comments from the TAC on the Administrative Draft Study were due on December 13, 2019 and were incorporated into the public Draft Study, which was published on January 21, 2020. The public comment deadline was originally February 13, 2020 but was extended to March 13, 2020 after requests from the public. Staff received significant public comment, most expressing various concerns including lack of notice of availability of the Draft Study, insufficient public outreach, general dissatisfaction with any improvements to the Corridor, and rejection of any conceptual study of micro mobility travel modes (e.g. shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) and e-scooters). The Alamo Municipal Advisory Council ("MAC") held two meetings to discuss the Study and also provided comments. The Alamo MAC recommended accepting the Study, noting preferences for divided activity lanes, enhanced planting, and downward, low level lighting only, and that project development activities (i.e. funding, design, etc.) need to be disclosed to the Alamo MAC and community prior to implementation to allow for discussion. Lastly, SAVs are vehemently opposed by the Alamo Community. County staff and the consultant attempted to address comments received by making additional revisions to the Draft Study. Public and agency comment summaries are provided as Attachments B through E. Vision and Goals The Study envisions a trail that can serve as an active transportation spine that supports the region’s mobility goals and continues to provide a treasured recreational resource for users of all ages and abilities. Safety: Enhances trail condition and improves traffic and intersection safety. Mobility: Provides connections to transit, trails and on-street facilities; accommodates user demand and enhances user comfort. Access & Equity: Provides access to jobs, destinations, parks and open space, and health services; presents opportunities for new access points. User Experience: Improves trail conditions and amenities; presents opportunities for stormwater filtration, ecology, new amenities, and placemaking. Project Synergy: Aligns with planned projects and existing land uses and allows for future expansion of new technologies. Potential Trail Improvements The Corridor was divided into 15 segments, each approximately 0.5 miles to 2.5 miles. Each of the seven Corridor jurisdictions (six incorporated areas and unincorporated County) contain 2 to 3 segments. The Study recommends improvements for each segment that were developed by paring the corridor and community needs. A data driven corridor analysis documented how the trail connects to regional networks and adjacent land uses, as well as how it currently serves surrounding communities. Each segment’s list of potential improvements intends to improve the on-trail experience (e.g. user separation), intersections, access points (existing and new), and connections to existing and planned bikeways and trails. Implementing a coordinated vision will also improve travel for higher speed cyclists by providing an efficient route for faster, long-distance travel (i.e. commuting or other utilitarian purposes). The Study also investigates potential for emerging mobility modes, such as SAV, e-bikes and e-scooters. This is consistent with goals of the CCTA "Innovate 680" program, which seeks to accommodate alternative transportation modes and emerging mobility options that could serve as a first/last mile connection to fixed-route transit, improve mobility options and reduce vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions. The Study also acknowledges implementing emerging mobility in the Corridor could face challenges due to limited data from such an application in other trail corridors, conflicts with existing utilities, and operation and maintenance needs. For SAVs to safely operate within the Corridor they would need to run on a facility fully separated from other non-motorized modes. The Corridor has space for this type of infrastructure in only a few areas (mainly Walnut Creek and Danville/San Ramon areas). It should be noted significant levels of concern and outright rejection arose about this concept from both the public and other agencies. Ultimately, if further development of this concept were to be pursued, additional study and extensive public outreach, including through the IHCPMAC which has representatives from each Corridor jurisdiction and CCTA, would be necessary. Project Prioritization/Evaluation Five evaluation criteria (safety, mobility, access & equity, user experience) were developed by the TAC based on the community-driven goals. Those five criteria were used to evaluate the performance of each project type per segment. The TAC provided feedback on the proposed improvements and results of the recommended prioritization. An evaluation was conducted to project how many additional users are likely to use the trail if certain design improvements are made. This evaluation modeled three proposed improvement scenarios (improved intersections, increased/improved access, and increase in E-Bikes) and measured how each would impact future demand as well as perception of trip and travel time. Results of the evaluations indicate the following: Improved Intersections – The Study evaluated how trail priority at all intersections would impact trail users and total bikeable trips. If arterial crossings were separated from the street, collector crossings had signals to decrease trail user waiting times, and local crossings required vehicles to stop, the trail would feel 14% shorter in length than existing conditions. Trail priority would enhance user experience and could encourage more commuters and recreational users to use the trail. Improved Trail Access – The Study modeled better trail connections. Currently, few comfortable on-street bike facilities connect users to the trail. With the addition of comfortable low-stress bikeways leading to the trail at regular intervals, there would be a significant number of new trips to the trail (up to 23% more trips). E-Bikes – The Study considered how the presence of e-bikes would impact trail usage. With an increase of electric bikes and scooters, trail user speeds would increase and allow for longer and faster trips. E-bikes would allow users to make trips that are 22% longer and would increase the number of bikeable trips significantly (approximately 27%). Operation and Maintenance An important point of discussion among TAC members was how to operate and maintain the Iron Horse Corridor if improvements are implemented. The improvements outlined in this Study will increase operation and maintenance costs significantly, and may require a new strategy. Currently, the Corridor is owned by Contra Costa County and maintained through the Iron Horse Corridor Management Program Advisory Committee. The Committee was recently expanded pursuant to AB 1025 (2019) to include a seat for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and to establish a mechanism to implement emerging mobility technology in the corridor. Please see detail below in the AB 1025 section. The County also has a license agreement with the East Bay Regional Park District wherein EBRPD they agrees to maintain the 12-foot paved trail portion of the Corridor plus four feet on either side. Section 6 of the Study discusses potential governance and revenue models. The existing management structure for the Iron Horse Trail is sufficient for the corridor as it exists today. However, a new strategy may be needed to ensure there are adequate funds available to implement and maintain the proposed projects outlined in the Study. Establishing this new strategy will require a coordinated effort between the Corridor stakeholders. Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1025 (2019) In the 1980’s, the California Transportation Commission allocated a series of grant funds to the County for a feasibility study and pay for the partial acquisition of the San Ramon Branch Corridor’s right-of-way within which the Iron Horse Trail now resides. Allocation of those funds required the county to reimburse the state if the County failed to meet specified conditions. Specifically, those conditions required the County to (1) conduct a transit system feasibility study, and (2) facilitate the planning and construction of a busway or exclusive mass transit guideway. The feasibility study, completed in 1987, investigated possible transportation improvements within the right-of-way and the Interstate Route 680 corridor between the Cities of Concord and Pleasanton. The feasibility study recommended implementing a light-rail or bus service in the Corridor between Rudgear Road and Sycamore Valley Road. Consistent with requirements in the grants, the County maintained a 34-foot wide transit area throughout the right-of-way for a busway or exclusive mass transit guideway. However, over time the Corridor experienced significant growth from surrounding areas and accommodated more active transportation uses and eventually became one of the largest and oldest multiuse trails in the San Francisco Bay area, uses and eventually became one of the largest and oldest multiuse trails in the San Francisco Bay area, the East Bay Regional Park District’s most used trail, and a cherished community amenity. Requests from adjacent cities and companies to make improvements to the right-of-way (e.g. access and intersection improvements) continues to be a challenge while maintaining the 34-foot wide clear area to accommodate the busway or exclusive mass transit guideway. Under these circumstances, a busway or exclusive mass transit guideway was no longer considered a best practice or appropriate use of the right-of-way. Additionally, the construction of a busway or exclusive mass transit guideway is no longer operationally or financially viable due to the cost of developing these modes of transportation in compact, established communities with substantial density immediately adjacent to urban and suburban uses, and the corresponding density of road and trail crossings, the overwhelming presence of active mode users, and the status in the community of the Corridor and trail as a linear park, recreational and multiuse facility. In October 2019, the Governor signed AB 1025 (Grayson). The bill relieved the County of those aforementioned obsolete legacy grant conditions from the 1980s related to the acquisition of the Iron Horse Corridor. Specifically, AB 1025 provides the following: Relinquishes the rights of the state to reimbursement of funds appropriated to the County in the 1980s from the Transportation Planning and Development Account for the acquisition of a specified right-of-way, and for associated projects, relating to the San Ramon Branch Corridor. Requires the County to revise the bylaws of the Iron Horse Corridor Management Program Advisory Committee to: Include a seat for a Contra Costa Transportation Authority representative, Expand the management program elements to include a new, 7th element that considers proposals to study new and emerging mobility modes and technologies in the corridor, and Include a new task in the committee’s work program to recommend a framework for acting on these proposals. The bill would also make findings and declarations in support of these requirements. AB 1025 cites this Study as evidence that the County remains committed to continuing its good faith effort in working with corridor-adjacent cities and CCTA to collaboratively invest, study, and develop the corridor for the public benefit, including the examination of new transportation modes and technologies as they evolve. Next Steps Following adoption of the Study, County staff will continue working with Corridor agencies, stakeholders and communities to design and fund projects derived from the Study. Phasing implementation will be necessary given the size and scope of Study corridor. County staff will report to the County Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee as future Study implementation and public outreach efforts occur. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Approval of the Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study is necessary to fulfill the intent of AB 1025 and provide clarity to staff and our corridor partners on the County's vision for the future of the Iron Horse Corridor.

Character of corridor should remain informal, natural and arboreal with minimal hardscape. Traffic light preemption is a poor and ill‐advised idea that leads to more congestion. Urban style trail amenities such as lighting, artificial landscape, bollards, rumble strips, etc. should be limited to trail segments traversing multi‐family, commercial and office uses. Proposed improvements are based on existing land use context and demand. In more rural areas like Alamo, trail improvements are being proposed to improve safety and access to the trail while maintaining a rural and natural look and feel. Andrew M Smith (City of Walnut Creek) 2/11/20 (Comments provided were very specific; did not attempt to summarize. Please refer to their email) Rephrased the “Reorienting Stop Signs” section to clarify that a yield sign is not being suggested for trail users. Updated formatting issues and changed “drastically” to “significantly” on page 58. Added the following to the map and table of improvements; trail crossings at Mt. Diablo Boulevard and the driveway into San Miguel Center, residential connectors at Creekside Drive and Westcliffe Lane, and commercial connector at North Civic Drive and Arroyo way.David Schonbrunn (TRANSDEF) 2/13/20 in strenuous opposition to the direction the County is taking with the Iron Horse Trail…believes that Contra Costa must use all available resources to provide mobility to its residents. That includes the Iron Horse Trail. We are outraged that the County asked for‐‐and received‐‐legislation granting it forbearance from using the ROW for the purposes for which it had been purchased. requests that Contra Costa County conduct a holistic all‐modes study for improving travel in Central County and San Ramon Valley. In the meanwhile, the ROW in its current state must be retained and protected, especially the clear 34 feet guideway area. The Governor approved Assembly Bill 1025 on October 12, 2019. With the new law in effect, the corridor is no longer being considered for mass transit use. Dave Campbell (Bike East Bay) 2/13/20 (Comments provided were very specific; did not attempt to summarize. Please refer to their letter) Overall supportive of project. Comments would be addressed in further study. Gerald Cauthen (Bay Area Transportation Working Group or “BATWG”) 2/14/20 BATWG would oppose any development in this corridor that might undermine or foreclose a future rail line or busway, which could easily become a major future necessity. It is therefore recommended that, with today's growing long distance travel needs in mind, that you take another comprehensive look at the possibilities. There appear to be several opportunities to use the Iron Horse Trail more creatively and productively than what is now being contemplated. The Governor approved Assembly Bill 1025 on October 12, 2019. With the new law in effect, the corridor is no longer being considered for mass transit use. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) Commenter Received Comments Response Alamo Improvement Association (“AIA”) 2/28/20 Voters and property owners were not notified; study should “start over” with active participation from voters and property owners. The Study is not exempt from CEQA. Street crossings make use of the Corridor impractical and dangerous as a commuter route. Concerns future trail improvements will attract homeless and crime. Improvements such as separating users by speed and grade separated crossings are ok. Additional outreach will occur during future planning and design phases. Planning studies are statutorily exempt under CEQA section 15262. Luz Gómez, MPH, RD Building Healthy Communities Manager Contra Costa Health Services 3/4/20 Pg. 6 – (typo) last paragraph…“planning‐level” Pg. 7 – Wonderful that Equity is a consideration. I noticed there are few bike lanes or connectivity from the Monument Corridor area of Concord to the IH Trail. Here's a map of the area where we see more health and socio economic vulnerability: http://monumentimpact.org/wp‐content/uploads/2016/10/Monument‐Map‐.jpg. Can we plan to enhance this neighborhood's connectivity to the trail? Especially along Monument Blvd, Detroit Ave. Pg. 10 – Was there outreach/engagement done in other languages? Pg. 10 – (regarding in‐person engagement events listed) How many people were reached during each of these events? Pg. 20 – (regarding Table 2 trail convenience legend) My eye wants to make the empty green circle the "least convenient" and the filled green circle the "most convenient" Fixed the typo on Pg. 6. Pg. 7 – we have also noted the connectivity challenges of this neighborhood with 242 and Walnut Creek being barriers to the existing trail. The study is proposing new bicycle/pedestrian bridges to connect the residential neighborhoods east of Walnut Creek to the trail. Pg. 10 ‐ Outreach was done in both English and Spanish. Feedback from 260 people was captured during the three events (see page 10). Pg. 20 – Because the table on page 30 shows variables by highest need, the circle is filled in to indicate need. Jeffrey Peckham President Walden District Improvement Association 3/9/20 in analyzing causes of traffic‐related accidents as trail users, it has been our observation that the vast majority of accidents are the direct result of trail users, particularly bicyclists, failing to observe posted stop signs at intersections. It is not clear to us how the engineering improvements suggested in the study will address unlawful behavior on the trails. Therefore, your proposal to give preference to bike traffic at intersections is encouraged by some, however others will question the advisability of legitimizing the current situation in which bicyclists already ignore traffic signals at interchanges. Generally throughout the Segment proposals, the separation of pedestrians from bikes, etc. with a ‘rolling path’ is highly desirable, including for safety, especially in high traffic segments. One amendment to this idea would be to put some kind of low barrier between the paths to prevent juveniles from skipping from one path to the other inappropriately in high traffic segments. Segment 2, p.75: proposed overcrossing at Monument should be a high priority as it will not only improve safety but will facilitate traffic at that intersection which is heavily saturated and significantly impacted by trail users crossing as pedestrians. Segment 4, p.76‐77: proposed improved access to BART at PH needs to be evaluated against cost. Access to BART from the IHT is already quite adequate in our opinion and any attempt to connect the users of the IHT to the proposed Class II bike way should be removed. The conversion of any lanes of Treat Boulevard into bicycle paths is an unnecessary expenditure of millions of dollars of funds as existing parallel alternatives already exist and are being used. Specific intersection improvements as well as who is given the right‐of‐way at intersections will depend on direction given by local jurisdictions. Added note on page 50. A separated use trail is proposed throughout the corridor. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) Segment 5, p79; The proposed bicycle roundabout at the CC Canal Trail is a great idea. So is the improvement proposed at the intersection of Walden Rd and Westcliff. Segment 13, p.83: If this segment is at all heavily used, priority should be given to Alt 2: overcrossing at Sycamore Valley Rd. However, it does not show as a most heavily used segment on p.87. Contra Costa Transportation Authority 3/12/20 Page 6 – There is a footnote regarding AB 1025. Consider adding additional narration regarding how the passage of the Bill affects the implementation of the Study recommendations, or how this Study is related to the future studies of “…new and emerging technologies in the corridor…” as identified in the Bill. Page 77 ‐ The Authority request additional clarification. Previously, the Authority was of the impression that a separated bikeway alternative (i.e., Class IV) was being considered by the County along Treat Blvd. has the stated Class II‐type facility been formally adopted as the preferred alternative? Pages 81 – 85 ‐ Upon reflection, the Authority concurs with the concept of assigning trail space by speed, as that could reasonably allow for inclusive use by multiple modes simultaneously (i.e., e‐bikes alongside SAVs). That said, the Authority also considers this concept raises the question of how speed differentials will be enforced, and whether there has been participation and/or input by the responsible enforcement agenc(ies)? Appendix C ‐ The Authority requests several edits for informational accuracy, as well as to affirm agency objectives and goals in the area of SAV testing and related mobility innovation: Page 2 – The Authority continues to also test at Concord Naval Weapons Station, and the (correctly) identified ADS grant will also include additional testing at said Weapons Station (in addition to locations already cited in this document). Page 3 – City of Walnut Creek is also preparing to “reboot” its shared mobility program in 2020.

Page 7 – “*No cost” associated with dockless shared mobility services is very unlikely to be tenable in a suburban context. This much we learned at the Dec. 2019 CCTA Micromobility Forum. Therefore, we strongly recommend indicating some level of public & private investment would be required to attract a minimum, sustainable level of service for such program on IHT. Page 10 – The Authority also strongly recommends that this conclusion speaks to potential for rapid SAV technological advancements, and that any future study of SAV systems on IHT take anticipated (and as‐yet‐unknown) advancements and capabilities into consideration as well. As currently written, the Authority expresses concern that the potential for SAV operations on IHT are static. Pages 67 ‐ 90 (Chapter 4)‐ We presume added cost and/or formatting constraints precluded our original suggestion. Fortunately, maps are provided in alternative corridor concepts in Chapter 4.

Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) Page 103 – The original comment appears to be only partially addressed. While the Authority appreciates naming Measure J as a potential funding source for future IHT project and programmatic improvements, it does not consider it accurate to categorize the countywide transportation sales tax measure as a “bond measure”. On the contrary, the latter is traditionally defined as a fixed‐income debt instrument and that does not apply to the Measure J funding program, as approved by Contra Costa voters. Likewise, the Authority suggests reconfirming with EBRPD the same categorization for Measure WW. Thus, the Authority suggests re‐titling this section to be “Local Sales Tax Measures Supporting Countywide Mobility”. County Public Works 3/12/20 Safety would be a serious concern with no physical separation between users of different speeds. Destinations (i.e. Walnut Creek Safeway shopping center) are physically separated from Corridor. Study should focus more on these areas and whether providing access would preclude interest in using trail as commute route, and if removing these barriers would increase mode shift. Dividing the Corridor into 15 segments leads away from creating a consistent corridor improvement, which would be confusing for users. The goal should be providing uniformity. Study says SAVs would require dedicated travel lane. Figure 1 conflicts with this statement. Are proposed intersection improvements considered the minimum improvements necessary to make intersections safer? The study does not address the goal of determine the feasibility of moving forward with a bicycle superhighway. Study should incorporate potential improvements in a conclusion of whether or not Trail could safely accommodate a bicycle superhighway. Cost estimates to not accurately reflect reality (i.e. unit costs and total costs will actually end up being much higher). Cost estimates should be removed all together. Park uses would not be compatible with “high speed” Corridor. Legends for maps 3‐6 should clarify the black lines with small line weight are existing Class I facilitates. A separated use trail is proposed throughout the corridor. Figure 1 (now 2) illustrates neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) instead of SAVs, which are human‐operated and do not require a separate lane. The proposed intersection improvements represent some of the possible improvements that could be made to make them safer. Local jurisdictions will ultimately play a role in deciding the types of improvements that should be made at specific intersections. Added conclusion re: bicycle superhighway on pages 8‐9. Updated legends for maps 3‐6 Cost estimate was updated for trail corridor and intersection improvements based on the unit pricing provided by the County. Danville Preservation League 3/13/20 We strongly oppose any changes to the Iron Horse Trail’s existing recreational use. The Iron Horse Trail improves the quality of life in our neighborhoods. It is a quiet outdoor space. The proposed changes will negatively affect trail use and all of the surrounding neighborhoods. The commenter’s opinions are noted. Town of Danville 3/13/20 Trail Design Segments (Chp. 2, pg. 14) Please list the Trail Design Segment endpoints (as provided in Table 6, pg. 30) in conjunction with Map 2 to better‐identify the segmentation. Intersection Safety (Chp. 2, pg. 22) The narrative describing intersection safety and collision history analysis should be expanded to identify types of collisions (i.e. involved with other vehicle, solo collision, etc.) Added trail design segment endpoints to the map Intersection Safety – This level of collision analysis was not included in the study. Appendix B includes collision history in more detail. Alta has provided the County with the spreadsheet of collision data. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) Intersection Treatments ‐ Local Roads (Chp . 3, pgs. 50‐51 ) Staff supports the proposed guidelines for treatments at IHT intersection crossings for collector and arterial roadway crossings. However, staff does not concur with universally prioritizing trail user right‐of‐way at local roadway intersections through reorientation of stop sign controls (requiring motorists to stop at all IHT crossings). This proposal has potential to exacerbate any existing safety issues and have potential to create unexpected conditions that may not be consistent with other trail networks. Proposed Improvements ‐ Danville Projects (Chp. 4, pgs. 82‐83) • "Segment 11" (Wayne Ave to Love Lane) ‐ The proposed additional IHT access points at SRVHS should be further vetted with the SRVUSD to address potential safety issues, existing policies and regulations. • "Segment 12" (Love Lane to San Ramon Valley Blvd.) ‐ Additional details and cost analysis should be provided regarding the recommendation to improve the intersection at San Ramon Valley Blvd./ IHT where there is an existing traffic signal. "Segment 13" (San Ramon Valley Blvd. to Fostoria Way) ‐ Per previous comment, access points to John Baldwin and Greenbrook Elementary School should be further vetted with SRVUSD. Please provide additional details on the recommendation to "incorporate micromobility at major intersections ." Please incorporate planning‐level cost estimate for "Alternate 2: Overcrossing at Sycamore Valley Road" listed in Table 11, page 97. Intersection Treatments – Local agencies will play a key role in determining specific intersection improvements appropriate for their jurisdictions, which includes who has the right‐of‐way at these intersections. Added note on page 50. Proposed Improvements – Added language on page 56 to clarify that any new access points should be implemented in coordination with local jurisdictions, school districts and adjacent landowners. Additional details and cost analysis of specific intersection improvements will be completed in future studies. Additional text re: micromobility is provided on pages 57, 59 and in Appendix C. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary Commenter Received Comments Response Andrey Vityuk 1/22/20 The plan looks great. I especially love the plan to add lighting along the trail and improve the safety of intersections. No response. Supportive of the recommendations. Katelyn Walker 1/22/20 Particularly like the ideas in there regarding widening the trail and providing marked, separated use areas for different user types (fast bikers vs. walkers, etc.) Concerned about the mention of shared autonomous vehicles on the trail. consider including the potential for bike share docking stations along the trail, including electric bikes more detail on some of the intersection improvements called for in the plan (page 72‐88). Some intersections have specific proposals (for example, Monument Blvd). But others give no details (particularly arterial intersections like Newell Ave and Danville Blvd, as well as the connection to Pleasant Hill BART). The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 107. Added a reference to electric bike share docking stations under the Mobility Hub description on page 59. While the County is leading this regional plan, the actual intersection treatments will be further studied by local jurisdictions. This document sets parameters for potential improvements but does not provide additional detail. Matt Dussing 1/22/20 The ambiguous section on shared autonomous vehicles using the trail stood out to me as a bad idea for several reasons. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 107. DOUGLAS MEDLIN 1/31/20 2/15/20 I commute on my bike daily along the Iron Horse Trail, between Montevideo and the Dublin‐Pleasanton BART…trail maintenance along this entire stretch is very poor. disappointed at the lack of discussion of plans or coordination for the segment of the Iron Horse Corridor between Alcosta and the Dublin/Pleasanton BART supportive of the philosophy to widen the trail and implement different strategies for separating different types, speeds, and experiences of trail users would like to see the point made much stronger in the document. The standard should be that the landscaping draw primarily on Native California plants appropriate for our region and that there be a systematic and sustained effort to remove and eradicate non‐native vegetation and invasive weeds. very negative about proposed expansion of the use of motorized vehicles on the IHT. As work proceeds on the planning and implementing the IHT improvements there should be further efforts also to increase connections to mass‐transit. in places where the IHT parallels the back of commercial areas it would be helpful to work with property owners to formally provide connectivity across this private property IHT planning should work with the local cities to find ways to either incentivize or require commercial establishments within range of the IHT to provide increase bike locking facilities. love the idea of creating a "linear park" along segment 14…Shade trees should be planned not only for Segment 15, but also for Segment 14. I wasn't clear what was meant by "opportunities for green stormwater infrastructure" for Segment 15. Montevideo and Pine‐valley: Speed bumps should be installed on Montevideo and Pine‐valley …priority should go to trail users (both pedestrians and cyclists). Added clarification on page 72 that any improvements will require ongoing coordination with Alameda County. Discussion regarding the use of native plants is included on page 56 of the study. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 107. Added language on page 73 to clarify that the County should work with adjacent property owners to provide access to the trail. Shade trees are considered to be part of the linear park recommended for Segment 14. Details on green stormwater infrastructure is included on page 46 of the study. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary ‐Alcosta: I was disappointed that improvements to the Alcosta intersection are not included in this plan. In my view, this is currently a very awkward and dangerous intersection. (1) Auto drivers exiting the Walmart shopping center and turning right are often is oblivious to bikers crossing Alcosta going north. I have seen too many near collisions here. (2) On the North side of the Alcosta, the trail diverts briefly (for about 10 feet) onto a narrow segment of sidewalk creating a dangerous pinch‐point and leading to many near collisions between pedestrians and cyclists. Jay Burns 1/31/20 For years I have suggested that a yellow line be painted down the middle to separate pedestrians and bikers going in different directions. No response. The Study recommends creating separate lanes for different user groups. Christy Campbell 2/1/20 Putting in separate lanes for bikes and electric bikes make sense to me. No response. The Study recommends creating separate lanes for different user groups. Michael Steinbrecher 2/1/20 I support fewer road crossings, separated paths, and room to pass slower trail users. In particular, I support paths separated by user type, by speed, or by experience. No response. The Study recommends creating separate lanes for different user groups. Don and Trudi Copland 2/7/20 Alamo resident and I am concerned about…possible electric autonomous vehicles The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. Denise Dauphinais 2/8/20 I oppose adding a lane or more vehicles. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. Garrett & Lynn Dailey 2/9/20 residents of Alamo…project as proposed would drastically alter the character of the trail and our neighborhood…rural feel of our community and…give it a Big City feel. Please put us down as strongly opposed. Proposed improvements are based on existing land use context and demand. In more rural areas like Alamo, trail improvements are being proposed to improve safety and access to the trail while maintaining a rural and natural look and feel. Heidi & Dick Alef 2/10/20 live in Walnut Creek. This is a bad idea. Proposed improvements will not preclude the use of the trail for exercise and recreation. The improvements are intended to create a safer trail that can accommodate current and future user demand and serve as both a recreation and transportation corridor. Lou Plummer 2/10/20 residents of Alamo since 1949…1. Extend this deadline for public input, 2. create an actual viable, and realistic plan of information dissemination/discussion, 3. actually reach a representative sample of the thousands referred to above. No response. The deadline for comments has been extended. Kris Hunter 2/10/20 one thing this study misses, is the number of animals, especially deer and fox, beaver, etc. that use these corridors to move safely through busy urban areas to open space. It is equally important to keep an area for those owning horses on these larger properties to continue to have access on these trails to get to trails in open space. Equestrians are considered to be an existing and future user group on the trail. They are described on pages 9, 34, and 35. Nancy Quintel 2/11/20 resident in Alamo I am extremely concerned about…this project potentially reducing our property value. Those of us living in Alamo greatly value our privacy and want our town to remain small without improvements. 1. Why was this idea ever started? 2. The cost of this project, $80 million, is outrageous. Money could be used for other needs in our county. Proposed improvements are based on existing land use context and demand. In more rural areas like Alamo, trail improvements are being proposed to improve safety and access to the trail while maintaining a rural and natural look and feel. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary 3. Our property taxes are already so high and this will only increase them. 4. Residents want less visibility and privacy. 5. Widening segment 8 from 10' to 22' is very concerning and will cause much more noise which will affect our peace and quiet. Unfair to current homeowners. 6. Will this project be put to a vote? We should have a say in whether this project moves forward or not. 7. The thought of autonomous vehicles driving behind our home is incredibly upsetting and should not be allowed under any circumstances. Widening the trail will be disruptive, noisy and change things. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 107. Diane & Mark Stevenson 2/10/20 can you please advise why adding SAVs (and related cost/maintenance, etc.) is a solution to be considered over or in addition to other functioning public transportation like buses? if the SAVs were implemented, what are the anticipated management, maintenance & security costs? The original email was sent to Supervisor Andersen and her office responded to commenter directly. Lyle Hendricksen 2/12/20 plan looks good. We need the corridor, and the improvements outlined very much. I am concerned about ongoing and daily maintenance. Strategies for daily and ongoing maintenance are described in Chapter 5. Bob Podlech 2/12/20 live in Walnut Creek…one place on the trail is particularly dangerous. This is at the south end of the Treat Blvd bridge and the connecting sidewalk along Jones Road (just before the trail leaves the side of Jones Road). I drive Jones Road daily and feel that this short stretch of sidewalk is in need of a barrier between the sidewalk and Jones Road. Persons descend the bridge too fast and are suddenly on a narrow crowded sidewalk area right on the street with heavy car traffic. There is a lot of foot and bike traffic in this stretch other areas that catch my eye up this way are the North end of the Treat Blvd Bridge and the South end of the Ygnacio Blvd Bridge. Many of the same issue of crowding and excessive speed exist there as well. While the Study does not address these issues specifically, the Study does discuss and recommends treatments for pinch points along the trail that could be considered at bridge landings. David Beals 2/12/20 I'd like to see a dividing line painted on the Iron Horse trail; I think it could be a good reminder to people to keep to one side; trail is posted as being closed between 10 pm and 5 am, but I ask that access be unrestricted…These closure hours make no sense for using the bike trail as a regular commuting road, and they're not enforced when the trail has to be temporarily closed for tree or utility work of some kind, please have the workmen post a detour route. When I used a narrow‐tired road bike, it was very jarring to cross all the roadways in the Alamo through Dublin area where the trail‐road junction had a squared‐off concrete lip that a bike has to bump over. I ask that the trail to road transition be smoothed. This Study recommends creating separate lanes for different user groups. The decision to open the trail 24 hours a day is not up to the County, but rather it is up to the agencies responsible for maintaining the trail. Because this is a County‐led plan, this recommendation is outside the scope of this Study. Added language on page 100 that recommends providing formal trail detours in the event of a trail closure. Tim Tinnes 2/14/20 this project must be put on hold until there is thorough comment by the residents who, after all, are the principal "stakeholders"…40 year resident of Alamo The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 1 Commenter Received Comments Response 1. Joerg Blischke 2/19/20 Recommendations described in Section 4 are not that clear to me. Is there a public hearing planned where the proposed prioritized measures are explained in more detail perhaps in an illustrative and interactive fashion? And is part of the recommendation to install good lighting throughout the length of the trail? This is something that is very important to me…several close calls at night where I only saw bicyclists and pedestrians in the very last moment as they did not have accompanying lights. County staff responded directly on 2/20/20 2. Wayne Mortensen 2/22/20 Perhaps solar lighting on those sections of the trail which are dark for the purpose of crime prevention/safety for evening use of the corridor? I understand that in some residential areas you would not want to have lights shining into residents homes. The study recommends adding lighting throughout the corridor. Solar lighting is recommended where utility connection is not feasible or where alternative energy sources are desired (see page 46). 3. Sylvia Benzler 2/24/20 We are responding to the Contra Costa County proposal for motorized vehicles on the Iron Horse Trail. Bikers –most going quite fast‐‐rarely stop. There are substantial feasibility issues such as user parking, narrowness of the trail, the necessarily slow speed of the trail electric vehicles due to numerous cross streets, capital and operating costs, existing and parallel CCCTA bus service, and mitigating traffic problems. etc. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. While this study focuses on bicycle and pedestrian improvements, it includes a section on SAVs because the corridor is a former transit corridor. 4. Drew Bolger 2/29/20 I’m writing to relay my objection to some of the proposed “improvements” suggested for the Iron Horse Trail…potential for construction, lighting and overall increased noise the overall lack of involvement from those who live on the trail. If the following changes were enacted we feel that our life and others daily users of the trail in Alamo would be adversely affected: increased lighting, bike super highway, other e‐vehicles/SAVs, environmental impact. The study makes preliminary trail improvement recommendations for corridor’s managing agencies and local agency consideration. Ultimately, if the local agency decides to proceed with implementing study recommendations, additional public outreach would occur to settle specific improvements and design. 5. Marc Mazer 3/1/20 If you widen it and encourage use of electric vehicles, scooters, and also insert the traffic issues of kiosks….it will significantly impact the safety and beauty of this resource. Please don’t. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. While this study focuses on bicycle and pedestrian improvements, it includes a section on SAVs because the corridor is a former transit corridor. The study recommends implementing a scooter pilot program before any major policy changes are made. 6. Lori White 3/1/20 Do not change a thing. Don’t spend any more tax dollars and time on plans for mini‐buses (should be strictly on Danville Blvd), or motorized nonsense. Even expanding the trail to help bicyclists will invite hoards more, which is not in the interest of most residents. Comments are noted. 7. Andrea Konkoly & Scott Everett 3/1/20 Disappointed to hear that the Alamo Improvement Association wasn’t made aware of this. Outlining a walking lane and biking lane, I support that but when there are talks about rental bikes and scooters (have you seen LA?!) and an autonomous electric vehicle carting up to 20 people, it’s a big no. What does this mean for safety? Who is responsible for policing this commuter corridor? What environmental impact does this have? The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. While this study focuses on bicycle and pedestrian improvements, it includes a section on SAVs because the corridor is a former transit corridor. The study states enforcement as an important decisions point for future implementation. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 2 What will this do to property values? Where are these commuters going to park? What is this going to do to traffic as commuters will have the right of way? I vote that this goes in front of a public hearing, let the people decide. Projects are subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). If an actual project is designed and funded it will be evaluated under CEQA (including traffic). Several research studies actually show trails improve property values. 8. Marilyn Bailey 3/1/20 I am appalled. Just now hearing about this study…bad idea for our communities. We DO NOT WANT OR NEED anything more. Certainly not electric vehicles or lighting along the way! If someone wants to improve the Trail, then add more benches, water. Clean up the weeds more than annually, run a stripe down the middle. Creating separate lanes, adding amenities such as benches, and improved maintenance capabilities are some of the study’s recommendations. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study.

Mark and Linda Uhrenholt 3/1/20 Vehemently oppose the concept of using the Iron Horse Trail as a transportation corridor…would be a travesty. Comments are noted. 11. Gabriela Odell 3/1/20 Unclear to me what exactly the problem is that this proposal is trying to solve‐‐is it traffic congestion on 680 or improvement for the current walkers, bikers and other users? Proposal to potentially allow autonomous vehicles on the trail is a non‐starter. I have never observed any problems on the trail that require fixing other than street crossings that are hazardous. These "improvements" will ruin the environment for the people whose houses run along the trial.

Kathy and Dan Hugens 3/2/20 Against any changed use for the Iron Horse Trail into an Active Transportation Corridor. Comments are noted. 13. Rina Shah, M.D. , F.A.A.P. 3/2/20 Adding more transport will serve to make the community less healthy, increase pollution and noise without providing an alternative for all of us who use the trail multiple times a day. Adding a trolley and allowing people to walk or bike doesn’t provide the same benefits as allowing folks to walk in nature. Comments are noted. 14. Patrick Moore 3/2/20 Why were the many residents in close proximity to the Iron Horse Trail not better informed of the expensive study, and possible future work, undertaken last year? The study relied on local agency contacts and community organizations to advertise outreach activities. Several commenters indicated this approach fell short and recommended using platforms like “Nextdoor” and other social media platforms, which will be utilized in future planning and design phases. 15. John Schaeffer 3/2/20 Allowing commercial/municipal traffic and vehicles on the Iron Horse Trail is one of the singularly worst ideas I have ever heard. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. While this study Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 3 focuses on bicycle and pedestrian improvements, it includes a section on SAVs because the corridor is a former transit corridor. 16. Erin Cox 3/2/20 Strongly in favor of widening the trail, where possible, to segregate cyclists from walkers/joggers. The area between Livorna in Alamo and downtown Danville is particularly crowded and it appears there is room to widen the trail there. Similarly, the area between Ygnacio Valley Rd. and the crossing with the Canal Trail near Walden Park is heavily used and difficult to bike on. No response. Supportive of the recommendations. 17. Jo Ann Frink 3/3/20 3/11/20 The trail in the Alamo area is heavily used. Putting a 'super lane' on the trail will not increase the amount of commuters, it will only serve to decrease the number of walkers, runners, skaters, and school kids that use the trail. Danville Blvd is already set up as a transportation corridor…put a 'super lane' in that will accommodate bikes and other electric vehicles. Bus from the Walnut Creek BART station to Alamo during rush hour and there were only 8 people on the bus including my friend and me. This is a good bus system that is vastly underutilized. The county needs to look at this option. Our community has been blindsided by this proposal. If you are going to redo the trail to accommodate adult fast bikes (regular and e‐bikes) along with motorized skateboards, etc, put in two paved lanes with a median in the middle. One paved lane will be for pedestrians, and the on the other side of the median will be the lane for adult bikes. The report mentioned the possibility of linear parks, so I thought our area would be perfect for that. The study recommendations are consistent with this recommendation. 18. Gene Yates 3/3/20 Unacceptable. Widening the trail to 22 feet, effectively making it a road in semi‐rural areas like Alamo, Danville, and San Ramon, will ruin. Proposed improvements are based on existing land use context and demand. In more rural areas like Alamo, trail improvements are being proposed to improve safety and access to the trail while maintaining a rural and natural look and feel. 19. Lisa Lutz 3/3/20 Safer trail for both bikers and walkers, yes. Autonomous vehicles, no! if you have shared Autonomous vehicles in Walnut Creek and San Ramon it’s just a matter of time before these two will be connected. All improvements to manage congestion should be kept to I680! There should be no diversion of traffic onto the east bay regional park district’s iron horse trail! The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. While this study focuses on bicycle and pedestrian improvements, it includes a section on SAVs because the corridor is a former transit corridor. 20. Donna & Richard Treffers 3/4/20 Information was virtually non‐existent to most of us, were it not for the Nextdoor website. County Connection busses that run daily through this corridor as well. The busses are not heavily used. Can you please do a “Study” to determine why? Or why not? We do not feel that this Iron Horse corridor proposal will solve this problem here. Several commenters indicated this public outreach approach fell short and recommended using platforms like “Nextdoor” and other social media platforms, which will be utilized in future planning and design phases. The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (“CCTA”) and local transit service providers are typically responsible for studying transit capacity in the I‐680 corridor. CCTA’s “Innovate 680” project is the latest project to address this issue. 21. Diane & Mark Stevenson 3/4/20 (Re: Alamo MAC meeting) In the future it may be a positive gesture for MAC & your reps to proactively help make space for the probably 50+ people in the overflow. It sounds like there has virtually been no information collected about the success/failure/results of the most current transportation improvements to 680, bus use/routes on Danville Boulevard. Recommend/require biking/motorized bikes/scooters for the purpose of commuting (or otherwise simply going fast) use The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (“CCTA”) and local transit service providers are typically responsible for studying transit capacity in the I‐680 corridor.

I see the buses from my window and they are usually ¼ full or less…why isn’t a “bus bridge” a priority approach? 22. Lawrence L. Hoenig 3/4/20 Break the analysis and study into three parts, northern end of the Corridor and let WC, PH and Concord figure out their solutions as a group. Second break off the Southern end and let SR and Dublin (all the way to the BART station, hopefully) figure out their solutions. Leave Alamo and Danville to take less significant and less expensive steps to improve the Trail if residents actually want the same. Favor widening the Trail to 20‐22 feet and separating it into 2 or 3 lanes separated primarily by speed of user, and changing the rules to make cars yield to Trail traffic on at least the local road intersections. On local and collector road intersections, we also favor finding some other solution to the bollards, which we have very narrowly missed hitting on occasion while riding the bikes. Future improvements to the trail will be based on multijurisdictional coordination. Because this Study is a County‐led effort, it looks at the corridor as a whole as well as individual jurisdictions along the trail. 23. Catherine Reichhold 3/4/20 We oppose development of the Trail for other than the current uses. We oppose transit use other than as currently permitted for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians. I had no knowledge of your study and gave no input to it. My first notice was from the AIA. Comments are noted. 24. Nancy Sway 3/4/20 Litina Drive, NOT Litina Avenue like you have on the Study Map (no such street). There is a stop sign on the trail that bikers, rollerblader’s, skate boarder’s and pedestrians are supposed to observe, but rarely do. Will the bikers etc. have to stop? Or would we still have the right of way? Updated to Litina Drive. Specific intersection improvements, including user right‐of‐way, will be determined by local jurisdictions. 25. Beth Jersey 3/5/20 Dismayed to learn of the prospect of electric vehicles being permitted to be driven on the Iron Horse trail as part of your IHC Study findings. Record my no vote on that particular part of the plan.

Susan Putvin 3/5/20 Please consider this a vote against modifying the iron horse trail. Comments are noted. 27. Warren Tighe 3/4/20 This study appears to be a good opportunity to advance the concept of an east‐west class I trail connecting downtown Walnut Creek to the canal trail a third mile or so east of John Muir Hospital. The Study does not preclude connections. While it is not within this study’s scope to look at connections, the County encourages local agencies to look into connections to planned and existing Class I paths. 28. Steve Clowdsley 3/5/20 Entirely inconsistent with the desired small town atmosphere in Alamo. $80M hard cost for the proposed improvements is a lot of money for a trail system that already works with ongoing maintenance funded by existing and well established sources. Proposed project would encumber tax payers with significant additional taxes and ongoing O&M costs. A 24/7 transportation corridor will increase traffic and congestion in our quiet neighborhoods. Alamo has no street lights or sidewalks for a reason...we like country living. County’s proposal would transform our community into a “city” style environment that is neither welcome nor desired. The increased traffic will bring unwanted crime and traffic into quiet neighborhoods that are already targeted by thieves who use the highway as an escape route. Proposal does not have my approval or support. Proposed improvements are based on existing land use context and demand. In more rural areas like Alamo, trail improvements are being proposed to improve safety and access to the trail while maintaining a rural and natural look and feel. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 5 As a follow‐up to my email below, I would like to propose the following improvement alternative: CC County could issue a bond of appropriate size (say $20M?) to (i) repay $10.6M State of California pledge and obtain release of AB 1025. 29.

James Chow 3/5/20 Totally against this proposal that would change what is already very much desire and love by the community without having to spend even more tax dollars and possibly causing irreversible damage. Can you share who is the driving force pushing for this study to be done? If this came from the public, can you share these statistics? This study is authorized by Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1025. AB 1025 also relinquished the County from the obligation of operation mass transit (bus or rail) in the Corridor. 31. John T. Malone 3/6/20 Strongly opposed to ANY change to the trail. Comments are noted. 32. Sue Halverson 3/7/20 This project has been very hidden and slow to come out to the public. Proposal takes away one of the last comfortable, easy, and safe ways to move up and down the valley. There are already other options (bike lanes) for people to travel to work safely. Your proposal will actually make that corridor unsafe for countless school children, recreational bikes (without motors), dog walkers, and friends who need a safe place to enjoy the area. Comments are noted. 33. Tom & Joan King 3/9/20 We don't believe any of the numerous people who currently use and enjoy the benefits of the trail would support these changes or consider them an improvement. Comments are noted. 34. Marilyn Bailey 3/10/20 So much of any change on the Trail will impact those of us who live in Alamo. The lack of publicity about this study was appalling. The wishes of Alamo residents is that there will never be any type of automated vehicle on the Trail. If the County has to do something, maybe make the Trail a bit wider with a dividing line, so people understand which side to ride/walk on! Would be nice to have bicycles actually STOP at the stop signs Proposed improvements are based on existing land use context and demand.

David & Cynthia Bogolub 3/10/20 I see no safety issue on the trail at present, with one exception. The addition of electric bikes has made the trail less safe. I believe that your study for future development was poorly done. Changes you propose will have a large negative impact. Comments are noted. 36. Nancy Morra 3/10/20 this corridor between Walnut Creek and San Ramon is best used by pedestrians and bicycles and prefer that this trail be left alone…steer your study to look at alternative routes for higher speed bikes/scooters/vehicles…a dedicated and protected bike lane along 680. I request that the community outreach and comment time be extended. I request that this study be tabled temporarily due to the Urgent Notice just received from Contra Costa County limiting gatherings to under 50 attendees due to the Corona Virus. Comments are noted. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 6 37. Marci K. Dublin 3/11/20 Opposition to the proposed changes. Fear that a higher volume of "commuters" on the trail would lead to an increase in crime…reduce my property value. Only portion of the proposed changes that I support would be allowing electric scooters and bikes to use the trail during daylight hours. I do not support autonomous vehicle traffic, widening of the trail or any additional paving, changing of the intersections, extension of the trail hours, and I especially oppose LIGHTING on the trail. Comments are noted. 38. Tony Cristiani 3/11/20 Prefer to leave the trail exactly as it exists now. locate along 680 Freeway or Danville Blvd. to allow for high speed electric buses etc…place electric buses, ebikes etc. on one side of Danville Blvd. and the other side there would be a traditional bike lane with a cement barrier wall to separate automobile traffic from bicycles, construction of a 22' paved surface from South Walnut Creek to Sycamore Valley Road is not needed. I possibly could see a wider trail than the existing 10' paved surface, possibly a 16' wide paved trail with a broken line down the middle to allow for safer bicycle passing of pedestrians and also to accommodate higher usage in the future. Comments are noted. 39. Robert ‘Nick’ Bowles 3/11/20 What a horrible idea! I can’t believe this is a serious proposal. And the study was a total waste of money. Community input should have been obtained before the study started. Preserve the trail for pedestrians and bikes. Further, bikes should be required to use the trail (at very low speed) and prevented from using Danville Blvd. Trail should be vehicle free. Comments are noted. 40. Cyndi Dresser 3/12/20 The existing buses that run have very few people in them. Why do you think your transportation method is any better? So many people enjoy using the trail for exercise. Why take that away? The study’s vision is to provide a transportation option while preserving the trail as a recreational resource. It would not preclude people from using the trail for exercise or recreation. 41. Lisa Inserni 3/12/20 (form email duplicated by several commenters) Strong objection to the Iron Horse Trail Transportation Corridor Study, and its recommendations. Introducing the recommendations proposed will result in a dramatic shift to the usage of the Iron Horse Trail and the identity of our community in the following ways: Increased traffic, increase crime, vandalism and transients, trail will become a sterile environment, compromise safety and privacy of residents, home values will fall. The proposal of SAV’s, while only for segments near downtown Concord and Bishop Ranch, is concerning. It will only be a matter of time until a proposal will be made to connect all segments of the trail for SAV use. Disappointed in how this study was created with limited community input, and not socialized in an effective manner to the communities impacted.

Valerie Jo Remley 3/12/20 Ridiculously little publicity of this outrageous plan for putting motorized vehicles on the Iron Horse Trail.

While this study Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 8 points into commercial areas. Further improving the trail and enhancing access points would drive more use and I am fully in support of that. On the other hand, I wanted to share that some of the statements were not consistent with my daily experience of using the trail. For example, page 5 notes, "the trail often runs into capacity issues as it exists today." That is simply not the case in the stretch of trail from downtown Danville to downtown Alamo, the trek of the trail we use daily. Strongly object to the possibility of shared autonomous vehicles and e‐scooters on the trail. Electric forms of transportation should not be part of the Iron Horse Trail given the safety concerns for all the children commuters on the trail. focuses on bicycle and pedestrian improvements, it includes a section on SAVs because the corridor is a former transit corridor. The study recommends implementing a scooter pilot program before any major policy changes are made. 55. Gordon & Carolyn Sanderson 3/12/20 (see form email above) 56. Kristi Novelli 3/12/20 strong objection to the recommendations outlined in the Iron Horse Trail Transportation Corridor Study. We have empty transit buses running up and down Danville Blvd. Why isn’t a study done to figure out how to increase ridership on those? The proposed changes would reduce safety due to increased traffic and high speed bikes/scooters, even with the widening of it. There would be an increase in crime, vandalism and transients in our community. Property values would plummet. The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (“CCTA”) and local transit service providers are typically responsible for studying transit capacity in the I‐680 corridor. CCTA’s “Innovate 680” project is the latest project to address this issue. 57. Theresa Calestini 3/12/20 I was the person that suggested putting a bike lane on 680 similar to the one they put on the Benicia and Golden Gate Bridges, the causeway between Davis and Sacramento and I’m sure there are other locations. The type of changes that are being proposed are not appropriate for our area. I think battery operated bikes should be banned from the trail altogether and redirected to using the above mentioned bike lane on 680. Comments are noted. Additionally, East Bay Park District authorized the use of e‐bikes on the Iron Horse Trail in 2017. 58. Carol Weldin 3/12/20 (see form email above) 59. Sandra Fink 3/12/20 Extend the public comment period as this was not presented at many public meetings. What is missing in the study is an explanation of how you can treat each section separately and yet have it be a transportation corridor. The public has serious doubts about the lack of explicit information. e.g. What are "amenities"? We were told that SAV's will not be used in the Alamo section. What guarantee do we have of that? Existing bike lanes on Danville Bl that are heavily utilized and that should be improved instead. Existing bus service from Walnut Creek BART through Danville is underutilized and a study of improvements to that service might be a better investment. The Danville plan of separated lanes should be used rather than a 22' wide "roadway". Since we already have water fountains, benches and Hemme Park with bathrooms and recreational facilities that are accessed from the trail, no further "amenities" are needed. In addition, I feel that Alamo would be a good place to put a linear park especially since we have R‐7 funds that might be used. EIR should be done on the whole study. Potential amenities are described in pages 54‐59. The study corridor was segmented to focus potential improvements, but continuity is maintained throughout the study corridor. Danville Blvd. and the Iron Horse Corridor are considered part of the local transportation network. Improvements to either facility would be intended to benefit the other. Planning studies are statutorily exempt under CEQA section 15262. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 9 60. Paul & Preeti Gill 3/12/20 (see form email above) 61. Greg Shay 3/12/20 Converting this particular trail is a terrible idea. Adding in a new line on the East side where there’s Significant open space makes some sense, but sending commercial and high occupancy transport within feet of people’s backyards, on the top of highly explosive jet fuel, is a bad idea. I strongly reject the idea of making any changes to the trail. Comments are noted. 62. Jeanine Newman 3/12/20 Sincere hope that the proposed changes I have only heard about very recently will not happen. Our safety while using the trail must outweigh the reasons these changes have been considered and plans have been made without our consent. Turning our peaceful trail into a commuting corridor will bring in crime and vandalism, put children and the elderly at risk Comments are noted. 63. Jon Savell 3/12/20 I would be enraged to see autonomous vehicles on the Iron Horse trail. This proposal is deemed offensive.

Lucia and George Foster 3/12/20 Some of the proposals might be good ideas, especially if they enhance the safety of pedestrians, who are increasingly at risk from reckless cyclists. However, in our area, SAV's would not be appropriate. The number of grade crossings throughout Alamo would require overpasses, huge expense, and a grotesque change to the character of our community. We value the trail, use it nearly every day, and welcome improvements which will make it safer. We don't welcome mass‐transit vehicles which will not be safer. Proposed improvements are based on existing land use context and demand. In more rural areas like Alamo, trail improvements are being proposed to improve safety and access to the trail while maintaining a rural and natural look and feel. An SAV route in Alamo is not under consideration. 66. Terri Perez Tom Scholer 3/12/20 (see form email above) 67. Joleen R. Lafayette 3/12/20 The crossing (Del Amigo) has lights and stop signs on both sides. I would actually like to ban bike riders or put gates at each crossing so the bikers have to stop to get thru. Someone is going to get seriously hurt one day at the street crossings, if they make them wider it is going to be worse. The Park District typically gates trail heads to only block vehicular access. It would be unlikely for bicycles. 68. Jerry and Laura Raney 3/12/20 (see form email above) 69. Val and Sue Eding 3/12/20 Changes to the Iron Horse Trail is a bad idea.

Geri DeVilbiss 3/12/20 Injuries that will prevail by adding another mode of transportation. It is just not a safe idea. If this does take place, will the county be responsible for the injuries that occur due to the new transportation added to the mix? If so get ready for a big law suit the injuries will be many.

This is very concerning. Utility considerations have been added to the text on pages 26 and 27. 76. Brooke Schroeder 3/12/20 Vehemently oppose the county study which proposes changes to the Iron Horse Trail. It is understood that the county is looking to make the trail more commuter friendly, however it completely overlooks the community in which the trail passes through.

The intent of separating users by speed is to reduce conflicts and the potential for collisions. The study does state further public input would be recommended if considering lighting.

Below is a list of recommendations on how to address concerns: • Community involvement and support is necessary for trails to be both utilized and a positive force in the community • There must be a system in place to promptly address issues and problems experienced by neighbors • There should be transparency of the visioning process to community members • A clear plan for maintenance and addressing issues that arise is needed and can solve many of the negative effects including o Litter o Illegal use of trails o Disruptive noise Do amenities like benches, restrooms, water fountains, trash receptacles, staging areas for users of various transportation modes, lighting offer the potential for misuse? Of course ‐ like everything Added a section on Safety Call Boxes on page 47. The study states community involvement in developing maintenance and crime prevention strategies are necessary in future implementation. Future trail improvements and the aforementioned protocols will be discussed by the East Bay Regional Park District and Iron Horse Corridor Program Management Advisory Committee, which is currently the corridor management entity for the County.

But what needs to be in place are well designed measures to prevent/discourage the likelihood of this. How about having safety‐call boxes dispersed throughout, and use of Webcams in the higher destination areas, as I understand the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail has?

Bgx 3/13/20 Please do not change ANYTHING about the current Iron Horse Trail. It is already crowded with people, dogs, and bicycles. As a senior it can already be dangerous to walk on due to fast‐moving bicycles. It should be left for recreational purposes rather than a commute alternative. If you want to do anything, please develop more parking for those of us who do not live directly on the trail, add water and restroom facilities along the Trail, enforce dog waste pickup rules, and provide safer ‐ for both motorists and Trail users ‐ at public street crossing points. The study recommends separating fast and slow user groups to improve safety for all users. It also recommends making intersection improvements to make crossings safer for all users. Parking is not part of this study’s scope. Plans for additional parking will require local jurisdiction review and approval. 107. Kelly Dawes 3/13/20 I am strongly opposed to any changes to Iron Horse trail allowing electric bikes/scooters. Please maintain as pedestrian only. Electric bikes are already permitted on the Iron Horse Trail. The study recommends implementing a scooter pilot program before any major policy changes are made (see page 103). 108. Todd and Lisa Nettleton 3/13/20 (see form email above) 109. Jan 3/13/20 I oppose the plan of converting certain part of iron horse trail into multi line vehicle trail that allows scooters or electric vehicles to ride on. We don’t need “upgrade” of the trail, people can use all the different roads that’s been developed. We want to keep the trail a safe place for kids and families to hike and ride bike on.

Karen Gustafson 3/13/20 It is my understanding that the County wants to convert the Iron Horse Trail into a mass transportation corridor with electric bikes, scooters, and autonomous vehicles. This will change the Iron Horse from a quiet recreational trail to something else entirely, hurt property values, change neighborhoods, likely bring in more crime, leave children without a safe way to ride bikes to/from school, etc The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study.

Eddie, Diana, and Victoria Gonzalez 3/13/20 We are alarmed at the changes proposed to the Iron Horse Trail. We join in the concern of our neighbors in raising alarm both at the changes proposed, and the manner in which these changes are seeking to be enacted. We seek to support the trail to continue to be a place for recreation, free of noise, crime, and vandalism that changes proposed could cause. Comments are noted. 114.

Ian McNeill 3/13/20 I am sure any widening of any sort of the existing Iron Horse Trail will be built to exacting requirements that dictate an expensive base build, drainage, edge of payments borders, safety signs, every article as to be found on a full blown street. In doing so, the atmosphere of the Iron Horse Trail will be eliminated. Comments are noted. 117. Christie and Joe Gallo 3/13/20 We have heard the County is considering converting the Iron Horse Trail into a mass transportation corridor with electric bikes, scooters, and autonomous vehicles.

Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 15 118. David Jaber 3/13/20 I am opposed to changing the use of the Iron Horse Trail. It is an unusual gem and would be disappointed to lose a space that promotes exercise and health. The study’s vision is to provide a transportation option while preserving the trail as a recreational resource. It would not preclude people from using the trail for exercise or recreation. 119. Chris Rayner 3/13/20 1. The authors seem to have decided that Alamo needs little attention and there seems to be to be very little change other than removing bollards at intersections. The business district is misrepresented, and lack of attention to Alamo is apparent 2. The changes to the rest of the trail would inevitably affect Alamo causing more through traffic from north and south. If the vision is implemented the trail must be upgraded in Alamo to handle these changes. 3. E‐bikes are already seen more often on the trail, and whether or not the study “vision” is implemented may soon become a hazard. In my opinion, a means to separate e‐bikes from foot traffic may soon be necessary. Trail improvements were determined based on potential user demand. Alamo’s future commercial growth is projected to be minimal, however the comment is noted. Agreed. Higher user demand throughout the corridor is inevitable as surrounding populations increase. Agreed. The study attempts to address the anticipated increase in e‐bike usage by proposing improvements that could reduce potential conflicts with non‐motorized users. 120. Victoria Jasinski 3/13/20 We want NO CHANGES to the Iron Horse Trail! Continuing foot traffic, casual biking and horses is acceptable on this family‐friendly trail. Stop trying to change, destroy and ruin the current character of Our East Bay Trail. We don’t need, nor do we want an ugly “mini freeway” on our currently peaceful, tranquil family‐friendly trail in the East Bay. This is an outrageous proposal which will result in the destroying of the current beautiful character of our East Bay Iron Horse Trail. Comments are noted. 121. Kara Murphy 3/13/20 Very concerned about the trail being used for mass transportation. Many people’s homes have a direct view of the trail! This would be terrible to look at mass transportation, and noise prevention measures would have to be put in place. Comments are noted. 122. Richard Lyding 3/13/20 I am not aware of the need for widening, in this area (Alamo). The local users and homeowners are likely not going to favor this type of expansion. Due to constraints with existing bridge crossings, running the SAVs across Treat and Ygnacio, as an alternative, would seem to defeat any intended time‐saving and traffic flow benefit. Seems impractical. From a bicycling standpoint, by far the most difficult crossing on the entire Iron Horse trail is at the intersection of Broadway and Newell. Comments are noted. 123. Joanne McAndrews 3/13/20 Separating cyclists and including speed lanes will be an improvement. I'm not sure about the autonomous vehicles‐ perhaps that is a step too far. Disappointed that you communicated with only a few hundred trail users. I am concerned about is if the improvements to the trail will increase the amount of crime in the area.

Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 16 Several studies indicate crime does not increase with “new” trails, and in some cases actually decreases. The study also suggests considering Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (“CPTED”) principles throughout the corridor. 124. Kurt Johnson 3/13/20 Concern regarding what I believe to be a particularly bad idea, turning the Iron Horse Trail into "an active transportation spine that supports the region’s mobility goals". I strongly believe this will destroy "a treasured recreational resource for users of all ages and abilities". The two goals are mutually exclusive. There is plenty of capacity on the trail already for people that want to commute. Commute hours are generally lower demand hours on the trail. If the intent is ultimately to have autonomous vehicles up and down the entire corridor including through residential areas, don’t do it. Having powered vehicles on the trail, expanding the trail infrastructure, reducing greenery, and lighting the trail at night will ruin the atmosphere of the trail, lower property values, disturb neighbors, and increase crime. I am also very concerned by the way this study is being performed with limited public knowledge or input and most importantly how this plan might be implemented without it going on the voters’ ballet to let voters decide what should be done. Therefore, I am asking you to discontinue your plans to make these changes to the Iron Horse trail we love and enjoy in its current form.

Ron Stansbury 3/13/20 My wife and I strongly oppose the proposed change in use of the Iron Horse Trail. Regarding your survey, who conducted it? When? What was the sample? Where are the results posted? Why weren’t all the homeowners adjacent to the trail notified of this proposal? Your proposal of a fourteen‐foot motorized use path and a six‐foot pedestrian path is not realistic. How safe do you think this is? The survey was conducted on‐line and advertised through the local agencies and various community organizations. Several commenters indicated this public outreach approach fell short and recommended using platforms like “Nextdoor” and other social media platforms, which will be utilized in future planning and design phases. Parking is already a concern at some trail heads. This would need to be evaluated if specific projects are designed. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 17 Parking, there has to an expectation that usage of the trail will substantially increase to propose such an expensive endeavor. Where will these people park? Will our residential neighborhoods have increased vehicle traffic, noise, pollution? According to the proposal, these families with small children on bicycles will have to use the motorized path. How safe will this be with motorized vehicles traveling at 20MPH? Safety? What is to prevent the use of gas powered motorized vehicles? What is a “shared mobility device?” An autonomous vehicle, what is your definition? Do you think that someone “commuting” on the trail will be patient enough to stop at each intersection and follow the CVC rules before proceeding? There are bicycle lanes already in existence along our public roads. These provide an expedient lane of travel, they currently exist, and there is no additional cost to the taxpayer for their usage. How is your proposal better than this? Is there an existing environmental impact study? Are you planning on paving over the existing gas lines buried along the trail? Who is going to “police” the trail and enforce speed limits and proper conduct? Do all the police departments have sufficient staffing to monitor and enforce the rules and laws? How is the cost of implementing such proposed usage offset by motorized bikes, scooters, and skateboards? Who is paying for this? And those living along the trail who are adversely impacted should be granted a reduction in property taxes due to devaluation of their property. What will the lawsuits arising from the above cost the taxpayers? The study recommends separation of trail users by speed in order to prevent potential conflicts. The East Bay Park District prohibits the use of motorized vehicles on the trail (except e‐bikes). Definitions for “autonomous vehicle” and “shared mobility device” are provide in Section 3 of the study. The Iron Horses Trail is an existing Class I bicycle facility and is already heavily utilized by bicyclists. Planning studies are statutorily exempt under CEQA section 15262. The study recommends enforcement protocols be established with future implementation efforts. Section 5 of the study provides potential funding sources. Several studies show trail facilities actually increase property value. 128. Maddy Jaber 3/13/20 Please protect our beautiful Iron Horse Trail and oppose any mass transit changes. Comments are noted. 129. Richard Hunter 3/13/20 This is a bedroom community and having a "transportation corridor" run next to our property will lower the value of our property and make many of the homes almost impossible to sell.

Even though you are suggesting a widened trail ‐ we believe it will be taken over by the speeders and make it far less enjoyable again for the recreational bikers, runners, walkers, children, people walking dogs, etc. On top of that, having bright lights will be very disturbing to all who live on or very close to the trail.

Why ruin a public recreational trail when you can provide a superhighway for commuters down the parallel thoroughfare of North Main and South Main in Walnut Creek to Danville Boulevard and San Ramon Valley Boulevard where the speed limit is already 35 miles per hour? The Iron Horse Trail is an existing Class I bicycle facility already heavily utilized by bicyclists, and is part of the transportation network which includes the aforementioned road facilities. The trail provides an option for bicyclists who do not want to contend with high‐speed road traffic. 164. Michelle Storm 3/13/20 A note to let you know that I oppose the possible use of iron horse trail for anything other than normal bikes, walkers, runners and anything else on feet. Comments are noted. 165. Carol Northing 3/13/20 I strongly oppose the usage of IHT to serve as a commuting option as it will negate the atmosphere of the park. I choose not to use the IHT between Rudgear Rd and Prospect Avenue. This is because there are too many stops for cross‐roads along the IHT corridor in this section. I encourage you to do a census and survey on utilization of the IHT vs Danville Boulevard for this section of the trail and gather input before making any decision to move forward with the creation of a dedicated bike lane. I think that you will find that most recreational cyclists and commuters prefer to use the bike lane on Danville Boulevard as it will be quicker and allow for greater speeds. I recommend against developing the IHT for commuter cyclists due to these reasons and recommend against creating a separate lane for cyclists. I do not believe that the creation of 2 separate paved areas on the trail without a physical safety barrier will help with safety. Dedicated lanes for people walking and people biking are proposed. This is a change from the existing condition of a shared use trail to a separated use trail. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 23 Overall, my input is that we should leave the trail as‐is. 166. Mike Abel 3/13/20 The proposition of widening this trail, lighting it and creating a place where the road bikers will be more encouraged to speed up and down, will diminish the special nature of the trail in my opinion. Lighting the path causes a lot of concern to our neighbors as well. It would encourage people to the path at night and that is sure to bring up crime rates in the area. I am very disappointed that more community feedback wasn't obtained prior to spending $350K on this study. I know that you set up tents and had feedback sessions along the trail, but that was after the study had already been in the works. There is no way that this feedback could have been taken without a skewed bias our community strongly opposes to these "improvements" to the Iron Horse Trail. The study recommends further community input if lighting were to be implemented. Several commenters indicated this public outreach approach fell short and recommended using platforms like “Nextdoor” and other social media platforms, which will be utilized in future planning and design phases. 167. Abid C. Mogannam 3/13/20 I would be strongly opposed to any use of the Iron Horse trail for transportation purposes. I would like it left the way it is. Comments are noted. 168. G. Blake Peterson 3/14/20 I’d like to express my strong interest in keeping Iron Horse Trail “motor free”. For our safety, please do not allow motorized vehicles on our beloved trail. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. While this study focuses on pedestrian and bicyclist improvements, it includes an SAV section because the corridor is a former transit corridor. Electric bikes are already permitted on the Iron Horse Trail. The study recommends implementing a scooter pilot program before any major policy changes are made. 169. David Fama 3/14/20 Regardless of whether changes are made in my section or not, I feel any changes will greatly impact my home and changes elsewhere will eventually result in changes in Danville by a certain later proposal will be made to connect all segments of the trail for SAV use. I’m also concerned about crime and vandalism. Presently my home has a gate to the trail and I haven’t experienced any problems‐ and want it to stay that way. Crime and homelessness is certainly on the rise and the changes noted in the study‐ particularly widening and lighting‐ result in a trail that would be more susceptible to those social ills. The County does not have the resources or inclination to have the sheriff’s office patrol the trail and the current light need for patrols would create a greater need‐ which would be unmet. I also object to the lack of community outreach and impact‐ it seems there has been an effort to keep the study under the radar of citizens. I also object to the lack of community outreach and impact‐ it seems there has been an effort to keep the study under the radar of citizens…increase community outreach when the matter goes to Several studies indicate crime does not increase with “new” trails, and in some cases actually decreases. The study also suggests considering Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (“CPTED”) principles throughout the corridor. Several commenters indicated this public outreach approach fell short and recommended using platforms like “Nextdoor” and other social media platforms, which will be utilized in future planning and design phases. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 24 the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors so opposition can be known and efforts via a petition or lawsuit can be organized to stop the proposal from going forward. 170. Jen & J.C. Herrera 3/14/20 I am opposed to the proposed changes to the trail. There is already difficulty in sharing the space and we’d hate to see it changed from something recreational (which our community has too little of already) to something commercial. Also, the increased foot traffic near our neighborhoods by strangers is concerning. The study’s vision is to provide a transportation option while preserving the trail as a recreational resource. It would not preclude people from using the trail for exercise or recreation. 171. Candice Newburn 3/14/20 I oppose the changes for the Iron Horse Trail. I oppose cars, electric scooters, motorcycles, or any changes to the current usage of the Iron Horse Trail. Please continue foot traffic, and casual biking. The consideration of SAVs on the trail is in its very early stages, and any next steps would include robust community engagement and further study. Provided clarification on this on pages 38‐39 and in the Next Steps section on page 105. While this study focuses on pedestrian and bicyclist improvements, it includes an SAV section because the corridor is a former transit corridor. Electric bikes are already permitted on the Iron Horse Trail. The study recommends implementing a scooter pilot program before any major policy changes are made. 172. Coni Donnelly 3/14/20 Opposed to converting iron horse trail Comments are noted. 173. Darlene Baker 3/14/20 No trail amenities are needed. Adding restrooms, benches and shelters will increase the migrants and that will be followed by more crime. The current trail needs maintenance. The portion between Rudgear and Newell is a major safety hazard. If it has been YEARS since this area has been properly maintained, why would we think a major, very expensive expansion would ever be properly maintained? (Walnut Creek) would be one of the most recommended areas to increase trail traffic due to population density, yet it is also one of the most restricted given the apartments/streets/canal. Why create a major traffic corridor on either side of this bottle neck? This will decrease property values due to additional noise and vandalism, along with less peace and beauty. There will be increases in vandalism, crime, theft, rape. It is proven that Bart lines bring in more crime to the Bart route. Adjacent property owners would need to be compensated for this illegal taking of their wealth due to decrease property values. Comments are noted. 174. Tiffany and Sean Price 3/14/20 We are opposed to any public transportation on the trail. Putting a mass transportation hub on the iron horse Trail not only reduces property value but creates noise pollution and brings in unwanted people in our neighborhoods. We strongly oppose this and will fight to the bitter end that this does not happen in our community. Comments are noted. 175. Eileen Perez 3/15/20 If the trail could be wider with a bike trail separate from a walking zone could make it safer. If we are paying for the bond and or if we are affected by the traffic & safety of our town we should have a say by voting! The study recommends separating users by speed, which includes separating fast bicyclists and pedestrians. Draft Iron Horse Corridor Active Transportation Study Public Comments Summary (Round 2: February 13 to March 13, 2020) 25 176. Kathleen Nelson 3/15/20 The Iron Horse Trail is meant for walks, saying hello to those in the community who enjoy this peaceful scrap of space. The IHT is a huge asset to our community and the proposed changes would be ruinous. I am very opposed to these changes. Comments are noted. 177. Sarbani Chakrabarti 3/24/20 I do support having a separate trail for bikes and scooters, but do not support the concept of a bike "superhighway", which will increase non‐foot traffic considerably, also making it hazardous. A bicycle superhighway would allow fast user groups to travel more efficiently. Pedestrian impacts would be minimized by creating a separated path for pedestrians. 178. Art Cunningham 3/24/20 I work and live near the trail and fully support this alternative use. We feel it is generally underutilized and would be of greater benefit to pursue alternative uses to fully permit (especially) ebikes and the ilk. No response. Supportive of the recommendations.

The Iron Horse Regional Trail serves as a major regional connector, providing a 32-mile biking and walking corridor for the people of Contra Costa and Alameda counties. The majority of the trail—22 miles—lies within Contra Costa County, which is the focus of this Study. Improving the Iron Horse Trail can provide health, economic, environmental, and transportation benefits to the region. The Iron Horse Trail corridor has the potential to serve a much greater number of people than it does today. Encouraging a shift from people making personal vehicle trips to more active transportation trips could result in lower traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, and higher levels of physical activity, improving the health and wellbeing of the region’s residents. Increased use of the trail for commuting and utilitarian purposes could also increase the number of transit users in the area, which could further reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Additionally, because modes such as walking and biking provide some of the lowest- cost forms of transportation, improving the trail could have positive economic, transportation, and equity benefits for the communities surrounding the corridor. 01 Why Improve the Iron Horse Trail? The Trail Today Established in 1986, the trail follows the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way that was abandoned in 1978.1 In Contra Costa County, the trail runs north to south through the communities of Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville, and San Ramon, passing through commercial, residential, and rural areas along the way. The Iron Horse Trail corridor lies within 1.5 miles, or a comfortable walking distance, of over 340,000 residents (151,000 commuters) and 3 miles, or a comfortable bicycling distance, of 425,000 residents (200,000 commuters). The corridor is only a few blocks from both the Pleasant Hill and Dublin/Pleasanton BART stations. The trail connects workers to dense employment areas like Bishop Ranch in San Ramon and Contra Costa Centre Transit Village in Walnut Creek, and provides recreational users with an active transportation route that is separated from vehicles. The Iron Horse Trail is one of the largest and oldest multi-use trails in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is a treasured community asset. Because it is so well-used, the trail often runs into capacity issues as it exists today. 1 State grants from the 1980s that facilitated the acquisition of the corridor obligated the County to 1) implement some form of mass transit and 2) set aside exclusive right-of-way for vehicle operations. On Oc - tober 12, 2019, the Governor approved Assembly Bill 1025, relieving the County of these obligations. With this new law in effect, the County has more flexibility in planning improvements in the corridor. 6 The existing Iron Horse Trail is a 10-foot- wide shared-use trail, requiring bicyclists and pedestrians to share the same space. During peak times, this narrow configuration can lead to uncomfortable conditions in which conflicts arise between users traveling at different speeds. For some users, a lack of low-stress on-street connections prohibit them from using the trail for commuting or other utilitarian trip purposes. The Iron Horse Trail Active Transportation Corridor Study seeks to improve these conditions to make the trail safe and convenient for all users and trip types. STUDY PURPOSE Given the high monetary and environmental costs associated with building more auto-oriented infrastructure, the corridor offers a chance to build a sustainable alternative that can provide an efficient route for bicyclists, pedestrians, and people using shared mobility devices, improving connectivity across the region. The scope of the Study includes the entire length (approximately 22 miles) of the Iron Horse Trail within Contra Costa County (State Route 4 to County Line). While the Iron Horse Regional Trail begins in Concord near Highway 4, it should be distinguished from the Iron Horse Corridor (approximately 18.5 miles) that begins in Concord at Mayette Avenue. The Study provides an overview of existing corridor conditions and corridor needs to frame the context of the Iron Horse Trail today (Chapter 2). These analyses are tied together with community and stakeholder feedback and design tools to develop a new vision for the corridor—one that better accommodates pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages and abilities, as well as users of other emerging mobility options such as e-bikes and e-scooters (Chapter 3). The Study also envisions a corridor that would not preclude the use of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) in the future. The existing trail corridor offers a number of opportunities for improvements. These include widening the trail and separating users to enhance user safety, comfort, improving intersections and crossings, improving access points and adding amenities such as landscape, shade, and benches, and creating connections to the existing and planned trail and bicycle networks. Recommended projects along the project corridor incorporate a number of these different improvements (Chapter 4). Evaluating projects through a prioritization process helps to define which projects will have a greater impact in meeting the project vision. Chapter 4 also presents a goal-based evaluation process and project ranking. Chapter 5 presents planning-level cost estimates for the proposed improvements, operations and maintenance considerations for the trail, and potential funding sources for capital improvements, operations, and maintenance. In addition, it examines the trail's existing governance structure and highlights strategies that could be used to enhance its current capacity to opperate and maintain the vision set forth in this Study. 7 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study Why Improve the Iron Horse Trail? The Iron Horse Trail today Goals The goals of the Iron Horse Trail Active Transportation Corridor Study include: Safety Enhances trail condition and improves traffic and intersection safety Mobility Provides connections to transit, trails and on-street facilities; accommodates user demand and enhances user comfort Access & Equity Provides access to jobs, destinations, parks and open space, and health services; presents opportunities for new access points User Experience Improves trail conditions and amenities; presents opportunities for stormwater filtration, ecology, new amenities, and placemaking Project Synergy Includes local agency collaboration to ensure alignment with with planned projects and existing land uses and allows for future expansion of new technologies The goals were developed through a community engagement process, collaboration with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and through an analysis of existing conditions, existing and planned projects, and regional priorities. These goals drive the focus of the Study to ensure that the recommended priority projects are consistent with the existing context of the trail as well as the vision presented by the community during the engagement process. Vision Statement The Study envisions a trail that can serve as an active transportation spine that supports the region’s mobility goals and continues to provide a treasured recreational resource for users of all ages and abilities. VISION AND GOALS 8 BICYCLE SUPERHIGHWAY The future Iron Horse Trail can serve as a bicycle superhighway and a trail for local recreation. Bicycle superhighways provide efficient routes for long-distance bicycle travel, making bicycling a comfortable option for commuting and other utilitarian purposes. Bicycle superhighways are typically defined by four key characteristics: Convenient + Safe A bicycle superhighway offers a convenient and safe travel route that connects users to key community and commercial destinations. This study proposes widening the existing trail and adding features such as grade- separated crossings to create a continuous route that makes long-distance bicycling a safe and convenient option. The study supports adding five new overcrossings to the Iron Horse Trail corridor and improvements to existing undercrossings. Where overcrossings are not feasible due to cost or physical constraints, the study recommends intersection improvements that will make road crossings safer and more convenient for trail users. Overall, the recommended improvements will make the trail feel shorter in length, making it a more convenient and efficient option for current and future trail users. Comfortable A bicycle superhighway provides a comfortable experience to people riding bikes of all ages and abilities. The Iron Horse Trail corridor also needs to provide this same level of comfort to people walking, running, and using shared micromobility devices, as well as equestrians. This study Case Studies REGIONAL San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail in Santa Clara County serves as a regional example of a bicycle superhighway. The trail connects residential communities to employment and commercial centers via a continuous path with few at-grade crossings. INTERNATIONAL The Radschnellweg Ruhr (Bike Freeway) (RS1) is currently being constructed in Germany, the first stretch of which has already been completed. The route will eventually span 62 miles and connect 10 cities in northwest Germany. RS1 is characterized by a wide path, separated from pedestrians, with lighting, passing lanes, and overpasses and underpasses at intersections. 9 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study Why Improve the Iron Horse Trail? recommends separating Iron Horse Trail users by speed or mode, designating separated lanes to accommodate faster wheeled users from people walking or passively enjoying the trail. Desirable A bicycle superhighway includes elements and amenities that make it desirable. Elements such as lighting, wayfinding, and shade trees create an environment that is desirable and joyful for all users. This study recommends adding a range of amenities to the Iron Horse Trail corridor, including lighting, wayfinding, landscaping, and public art. Forward-Looking A bicycle superhighway must be adaptable to community needs and new technologies as they develop. While this study recommends a number of improvements for the Iron Horse Trail corridor that could help it serve as a bicycle superhighway, the proposed improvements respond to anticipated future demand based on current conditions and planned projects. Additional improvements should be evaluated over time. The Iron Horse Trail can become a bicycle superhighway if consistent and cohesive improvements are made. Multi-jurisdictional coordination and collaboration, including with Alameda County, would be required to establish consistent conditions along the trail that allow for and encourage its continuous, long-distance use. This study recommends a range of improvements that would transform the corridor into a bicycle superhighway. These improvements will likely be implemented in phases in conjunction with additional community involvement. The proposed improvements will result in a more convenient, safe, comfortable, and desirable corridor. IMAGINING A DAY ON THE FUTURE TRAIL A separated use trail with a fast lane can provide a comfortable experience for numerous user groups. One can imagine a woman who is commuting to BART to make her way into the city and is dependent upon the new lighting because she will be commuting back home after the sun sets. A parent on an e-bike commuting from Concord to San Ramon who is able to drop their child off at daycare located along the route. Teens in groups heading to school and a morning group ride from a local bicycle club. With a dedicated lane for faster users, the trail could support e-scooters or other shared micromobility devices. The trail improvements will provide a facility for neighborhood families of all ages and abilities traveling by bike. A side-path conjures the spirit of the existing Iron Horse trail. Here friends stroll and engage with amenities and seating areas. Even on a hot summer day the cool respite of new trees gives a grandparent and their grandchild in a stroller a moment to rest. 10 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The Iron Horse Trail community engagement process helped shape the vision of the Study and identified needed improvements along the trail. The community engagement process utilized a variety of outreach methods to gather community input on the Iron Horse Trail’s existing challenges and potential future improvements. These outreach methods included sharing project information via a project website, conducting stakeholder interviews, holding pop-up events along and near the trail, hosting an interactive webmap tool that enabled community members to leave site-specific comments and ‘like’ other users’ ideas, and conducting a survey for business owners, employees, students, and residents. In-Person Engagement Two rounds of engagement occurred. In the Spring of 2019, the project team hosted three outreach events to introduce the community to the project corridor as well as promote the online survey and interactive webmap. The events included: • A food truck event outside the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART station, March 29, 2019 • Fair Oaks Elementary Bike to School Day in Pleasant Hill in partnership with Contra Costa 511 Safe Routes to School Program, April 30, 2019 • San Ramon Bike to Work Day at Bishop Ranch, May 9, 2019 Following the initial rounds of in-person engagement, three additional pop-up events were held along the Iron Horse Trail in Summer 2019: • San Ramon Central Park, July 27, 2019 • Contra Costa Centre (Intersection of the Iron Horse Trail and the Canal Trail), July 28, 2019 • East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) Trail Etiquette event, August 7, 2019 Feedback from 260 people was gathered during these three events. Community members were asked questions such as: How can we improve the trail in your neighborhood? What do you want to see addressed at intersections? Which trail type do you prefer and why? Overall, a majority of the feedback received involved the desire for: • Adding amenities such as lighting, shade, and bike stations • Increasing the number of access points • Prioritizing users and user separation on the trail Above: On-trail pop-up engagement event in San Ramon. 11 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study Why Improve the Iron Horse Trail? Online Engagement An interactive webmap was available from mid-January to mid-August 2019. Community members were invited to identify locations of destinations accessible from the Iron Horse Trail, barriers preventing access or providing a high quality user experience, and routes to access the trail. They were also given the opportunity to suggest locations for trail improvements. People could then like/vote on previously posted comments. The webmap collected 407 comments and 769 likes/votes. The majority of the comments were clustered in the northern half of the corridor. The comments were summarized by theme and translated into draft project goals. Of the comments received: • 30% were related to Mobility °Improve network and connectivity to regional trails, BART, and other transit °Create priority ROW for trail users; consider overpasses at high volume corridors; facilitate direct connections and shorter wait times • 29% were related to Safety °Address intersection safety with improved signals, increased visibility, and slower traffic °Improve personal safety at access points; improve lighting; reduce user conflicts • 23% were related to Access/Equity °Improve connectivity to regional downtown cores, commercial hubs, schools, and open spaces • 18% were related to User Experience °Improve shade, amenities, and overall user experience °Prioritize maintenance and wayfinding Certain locations along the corridor were repeatedly highlighted as needing specific improvements. These included Monument Boulevard (increased connectivity and overall improved intersection safety), Bollinger Canyon Road (intersection improvements), Danville Boulevard (wayfinding and intersection improvements), and Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord (a desire to connect with BART). Repeated comments were noted and summarized by segment to highlight which trail segments were considered to be the most in need of improvement. The results of the community engagement process were one of several factors used to identify important potential improvements along the trail and understand key community priorities that the Study can address through its recommendations. 30% MOBILITY 18% USER EXPERIENCE 29% SAFETY 23% ACCESS/ EQUITY COMMUNITY FEEDBACK 13 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study In order for the Iron Horse Trail to meet the new vision, it is important to understand the current and future needs of the corridor. A data driven corridor analysis documented how the trail connects to the regional networks and adjacent land uses, as well as how it currently serves surrounding communities. In addition, an existing conditions assessment detailed the corridor’s various physical conditions, intersections, access points, and amenities. The data gathered as part of the corridor and existing conditions analyses were combined with the feedback received from the community to identify specific corridor needs. In order to summarize and communicate the needs of the 22 mile Iron Horse Trail study corridor, the trail was divided into 15 segments based on jurisdiction, adjacent land context, and physical conditions, as shown in Map 2. There are two types of segments, each of which have different needs. Activity Centers are categorized as Main Streets, activity hubs, and commercial development, and contain destinations that users are likely to travel to. 02 What are the Corridor Needs? Parks & Housing segments are passive, residential, or park-like, and are the areas that users are more likely to travel through. Each jurisdiction the trail passes through has 2-3 segments, ranging from 0.5 to 3.0 miles. Analysis Factors To compare and assess the needs of trail segments throughout the corridor, the segments were evaluated based on a number of factors. These factors included: • User Demand • Access Needs • Connections • Intersections • Constraints/Barriers • Community-Identified Needs Each factor includes an overall scale from low to high, and each segment was ranked based on these criteria. The following pages describe each factor in greater detail and a summary comparison of all segments is shown at the end of the chapter in Table 6. See Appendix A and B for more information on Existing Conditions and Corridor Analysis. 14 10 11 13 12 15 14 3 5 6 8 4 7 9 2 1 2 3 5 6 8 10 11 13 12 15 14 4 7 9 1 Ã242Ã4 Ã24 ¥680 ¥680 CONCORD DANVILLE PLEASANT HILL SAN RAMON WALNUT CREEK ALAMO 0 1 2 MILES BART Station Park & Ride Concord Concord Pleasant Hill/CCC Pleasant Hill/CCC Pleasant Hill/CCC Walnut Creek Walnut Creek Alamo Alamo Alamo Danville Danville Danville San Ramon San Ramon Segment Extents Map produced Septemberl 2019.

USER DEMAND People Who Live Here There are over 425,000 residents and 200,000 commuters within three miles of the Iron Horse Trail in Contra Costa County. Most walk and bike trips to work are concentrated near employment centers in the northern end of the corridor near Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Concord, with an additional concentration in the south near San Ramon. Currently, however, over 70 percent of commuters near the corridor drive alone to work. This may be due, in part, to the relative wealth of the communities along the Iron Horse Trail. People who live near the trail tend to have access to multiple vehicles, with only 2% of all commuters without access to a car, and 80% of commuters with access to two or more vehicles. Many of these motor-vehicle commute trips are relatively short, with 39% taking less than 20 minutes. The largest concentrations of households with zero-vehicles and of relatively lower median household incomes are in the same census tracts with lower average drive alone to work mode share. Population and employment growth are expected along the trail near BART stations and at the Concord Naval Weapons Station redevelopment site, meaning that an improved active transportation corridor will be critical for providing an efficient and sustainable transportation network for commuters in the area. Potential User Demand Trip demand along the Iron Horse Trail was calculated using data generated by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) travel demand model. Using pairs of origins and destinations, total daily trips between “traffic analysis zones” (TAZs) were simulated along the street network. Trips that utilized the Iron Horse Trail with a perceived distance of less than 5 miles were then aggregated to produce potential daily trip estimates that could be made by bicycle. Bicycle and pedestrian mode shares were then determined by using mode share data from the MTC travel demand model as well as guidance from the FHWA Shared-Use Level of Service Calculator (SUPLOS). The typical utilitarian bicycle mode share among TAZs within the study area (1.3%) was applied to the total number of trips within bikeable distance to determine a more representative number of biking trips that would be likely to use the trail. A 40% utilitarian pedestrian mode share (the typical pedestrian mode share used by the FHWA SUPLOS tool) was applied to estimate pedestrian trips. Finally, a conservative recreational mode split (60%) was applied to account for recreational bike and pedestrian trips likely to use the trail. This percentage was determined following a review of recreational use on similar trail examples throughout the United States. The results of the demand analysis show a range of potential demand between the segments of the trail (see Table 6). Results are shown on a scale of increasing demand. Segments that have particularly high demand (such as those in Pleasant Hill and San Ramon) would benefit from a wider trail than the existing 10-foot shared-use path to comfortably accommodate potential demand. Additionally, these high- demand areas may also benefit from separate lanes for people walking and bicycling in order to minimize conflicts between users. Segments with lower demand (such as those in Alamo) may benefit from improvements such as increased access points, network connections, and intersection improvements. 16 ACCESS NEEDS Access from the Trail The corridor was evaluated for its accessibility via low stress routes to different destinations such as transit, schools, parks, and commercial or shopping areas. Low stress routes were identified as Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) 2 or below, which is comfortable to a beginner adult bicycle rider. Low stress access was identified to select destinations including: • Transit: the Pleasant Hill and Dublin/ Pleasanton BART stations directly connect to the trail and other BART stations could be connected in the future. Several bus transit routes also have stops that may provide connections to the Iron Horse Trail. • Schools: 17 schools are immediately adjacent to the trail and many others are served by the trail. The Iron Horse Trail provides connectivity for 24 public schools that have catchment areas that overlap the trail in a significant way. • Parks: Eight parks are within 1,000 feet of the trail and an additional 9 parks are within a 1/2 mile of the trail. • Employment centers: areas like Bishop Ranch in San Ramon (600 companies and growing) and Contra Costa Centre Transit Village in Walnut Creek (over 6,000 employees) are well served by the trail as are many smaller employment areas in the region. • Commercial areas: the trail crosses through downtown San Ramon, Danville, and unincorporated Alamo. The Contra Costa Canal Trail provides a connection to downtown Pleasant Hill and connections could be made to downtown Concord and Walnut Creek. Several shopping centers lie directly adjacent to or within a short distance of the trail, providing access to services, retail business, and other similar opportunities. Access to the Trail Sixty formal access points connect the trail to residential neighborhoods, retail centers, downtowns, and parks. In addition to these formal access points, numerous informal access points such as private access points to individual homes exist along the corridor. Amenities at Access Points Amenities along the existing trail are scarce. Small staging areas with and without parking are sporadic along the corridor. Shade structures with seating are found adjacent to the trail within San Ramon, and there is enhanced greenway and linear park space north of the Pleasant Hill BART station. The San Ramon Transit Center and Hemme Park have restrooms and water open to the public and are directly adjacent to the trail, and there are seven restrooms at public park facilities less than a quarter mile from the trail (three in San Ramon, two in Danville and two in Walnut Creek).

Identifying opportunities to enhance or add connections to education, employment, and recreation centers will build on the existing importance of the Iron Horse Trail's role in connecting the region. Understanding where and what types of destinations are along the trail, as well as where existing access points are located, will impact where and what types of new access points might be appropriate. • Lower need: Segments with comparably low-density housing and few other destination types may have less need for frequent access points and amenities. • Medium need: Segments with moderate density housing and other destination types may have some need for frequent access points and amenities. • Higher need: Segments with high density housing, commercial, employment, educational and recreational destinations may have higher need for frequent access points and amenities. CONNECTIONS Reviewing the region’s active transportation network reveals the importance and potential that the Iron Horse Trail holds in enhancing regional connectivity. There are a number of existing and planned regional connections along the existing trail (see Table 1 and Map 7). Segments were evaluated based on their existing regional and local bikeway connections, as well as their potential to connect to planned bikeways. Segments with a greater number of existing and planned regional connections may have a higher priority for connectivity improvements. Segments with lower numbers of existing or planned bikeways are considered to have a higher need for improvement. Existing and Planned Regional Connections Segments with few or no existing or planned regional connections are categorized as having lower needs, while segments with a substantial number of connections are categorized as having higher needs. • Lower needs: Few or no existing or planned regional connections • Medium needs: Some existing or planned regional connections • Higher needs: Several existing or planned regional connections Existing Bikeways Segments’ existing bikeways were evaluated by frequency of existing bikeway per half mile. Since the segments have different lengths, a ratio was used to compare segments. Segments with fewer numbers of existing bikeways may be considered to have higher need for network improvements. • Lower need: > 1.5 existing bikeways per half mile • Medium need: > 0.5 and < 1.5 existing bikeways per half mile • Higher need: < 0.5 existing bikeways per half mile 19 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What are the Corridor Needs?

These include arterial, collector controlled, collector uncontrolled, local, and grade separated crossings. Map 7 shows the locations of these crossings along the trail. Segments of the trail with more frequent or challenging intersections are considered to be less convenient for users and may have a higher need for improvement. A point system was developed to rate different intersection types to determine the level of need of each segment. Arterial road crossings require trail users to stop at a signalized intersection, causing delay, and have a lower degree of comfort. Therefore, arterial crossings were assigned the highest number of points (5). Collector road crossings were assigned 3 points. Local road crossings require users to make a stop but are generally comfortable, therefore they were assigned a lower value (1). Some crossings require users to divert off of the trail. Those cases were assigned an additional 1 point. Finally, grade separated crossings do not result in inconvenient use of the trail so they were assigned 0 points. Points were summed along each segment and used to rank segments by level of convenience, as described below: Most Convenient (≤ 5 points) Convenient: (6-10 points) Least Convenient: (>10 points) Table 2 Trail Convenience Segment# of Arterial Crossings(5 Points)# of Collector Crossings(3 Points)# of Local Crossings(1 Points)# of Intersection Diversions(1 Points)# of Grade Separated Separated Crossings (0 Points)Trail Convenience 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 4 1 1 5 1 6 1 7 3 1 1 8 2 4 1 9 2 10 1 3 11 1 2 12 1 2 1 13 1 3 1 14 3 1 15 1 2 21 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What are the Corridor Needs?

There were 14 bicycle and pedestrian fatalities within 2 miles of the trail. Table 3 identifies the number of bicycle and pedestrian collisions by city and distance from the trail for the five cities and unincorporated areas. Identifying the need for safer crossings and access routes to the Iron Horse Trail is a key goal of this project. There were 43 injuries of bicyclists or pedestrians within 100 feet of the trail. Locations with 3 or more bicycle or pedestrian injuries are shown in Table 4. For the needs analysis, intersection safety was ranked based on the reported bicycle or pedestrian involved crossing injuries on the following scale: • Lower need: Less than 3 crossing injuries • Medium need: 3 to 4 crossing injuries • Higher need: 5 or more crossing injuries 23 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What are the Corridor Needs? CONSTRAINTS/BARRIERS Right-of-Way (ROW) Width The ROW width that the Iron Horse Trail travels through varies throughout the corridor from nearly 300 feet in its widest area near Hookston in Pleasant Hill to less than 20 feet in its most constrained areas through the Broadway corridor in Walnut Creek. Throughout the majority of the trail the ROW width allows for room for future trail improvements. However, pinch points caused by narrow rights-of-way pose challenges to trail design continuity. A variation of cross sections are required to address the changes along the trail. ROW widths are broken down into four basic categories: • Constrained: <25’ • Narrow: 25’-50’ • Wide: 50’-100’ • Very wide: >100’ These categories highlight whether segments have opportunities for certain trail improvements or are constrained due to lack of available space. Physical Constraints In addition to available ROW, certain elements along the trail present a barrier to comfortable, safe user travel, or possible impacts to future trail improvements. Examples of physical constraints include existing infrastructure, nearby water features, difficult intersections, and challenging landscape features. Different from constraints posed by narrow ROW, physical constraints can be solved through unique design solutions. Higher level constraints may require a higher level of capital investment and coordination. Physical constraints are summarized into three basic categories: • Major: includes significant physical constraints such as existing infrastructure adjacent to the trail, narrow bridges, or challenging landscape features • Minor: includes some physical constraints such as frequent intersections • Unconstrained: does not include any physical constraints For example, Segment 13/Danville is one that can be summarized as minimally constrained. This segment is characterized by wide ROW width, no physical obstructions, and direct approaches to roadway crossings. Segment 7/ Walnut Creek, however, has many challenging constraints including the narrow ROW along the South Broadway corridor, the alignment jog at Newell Avenue, and the infrastructure surrounding the channelized Walnut Creek. 24 PHYSICAL CONSTRAINT topographic water structures channelized creek mt. diablo blvd to ygnacio valley trail on berm walnut creek north of monument blvd former rail bed w linda mesa to danville blvd adjacent topography hillgrade to danville blvd .35 miles 3.6 miles .8 miles 7.8 miles VERY WIDE A portion of the corridor faces few constraints, with 50 to 100 feet of generally flat right of way available. Relevant sections of this type are found near Walnut Creek and Alamo. WIDE: RAISED RAIL BED Portions of the trail run along a raised rail bed with moderate drainage ditches along portions of the corridor. These conditions are found in most of Danville and San Ramon. WIDE: TRAIL ON CREEK BANK Another common trail condition is when the trail follows the top of bank along a naturalized creek. This is primarily found in the northern section of the trail near Concord where the trail parallels Walnut Creek. NARROW: ADJACENT COMMERCIAL For 2.3 miles in parts of Concord and Danville, commercial businesses are directly adjacent to the trail. In downtown Danville, the trail narrows to approximately 30 feet in width. CONSTRAINED: LIMITED RIGHT-OF-WAY For just under a mile in south Walnut Creek, South Broadway and the adjacent soundwall narrow the trail corridor width to approximately 20 feet. CONSTRAINED: CHANNELIZED CREEK The trail corridor is approximately 25 feet wide adjacent to the channelized creek between Newell Avenue and Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek (0.7 miles). NARROW: ADJACENT TOPOGRAPHY While most of the trail is in generally flat topography, a small portion (0.8) miles in Danville is adjacent to topography that may limit any additional trail width.

These include both overhead power lines as well as underground utilities. Primary utility easements along the corridor are highlighted below. • A 10 to 36-foot Contra Costa County Sanitary District easement traverses the majority of the corridor. • A 10-foot gas pipeline easement, granted to SFPP/Kinder-Morgan, runs along the majority of the corridor. • Intermittent PG&E easements for underground vault access or overhead power lines are present throughout the corridor. • Sporadic storm drain easements perpendicular to the trail and East Bay Municipal Utilities District water lines are present within the corridor. Map 9 shows example locations of the types and sizes of utilities that exist within the Iron Horse Trail corridor ROW. Figure 1 illustrates the utility easements present in a typical section of the corridor. Available survey provides boundary information for the utilities south of Monument Boulevard, but does not provide information regarding depth. Confirmation of the depth of existing utilities requires further study. Recommendations outlined in this Study are considered feasible based on the current understanding of the location of utilities within the corridor. Potential shallow utility conflicts could be mitigated by trail improvements built on fill to minimize excavation. 34’ CCCSD EASEMENT PG&E High Voltage Lines 5’ PG&E Easement100’ IRON HORSE CORRIDOR 12’ EBRPD LEASE FOR TRAIL FIBER OPTICS EXISTING 30” SEWER EXISTING 60” SEWER PROPOSED 60”- 66” SEWER EXISTING 84” STORM DRAIN LINE 10” HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE CABLE 15’ DRAINAGE EASEMENT 10’ KINDER- MORGAN FUEL LINE Figure 1 Typical Section of the Iron Horse Corridor Map 9 Utilities Ã242 Ã4 Ã24 ¥680 680 Shell Ridge Open Space Lime Ridge Open Space Diablo Foothills Regional Park Mount Diablo State Park CONCORD DANVILLE PLEASANT HILL SAN RAMON WALNUT CREEK ALAMO 100' ROW 10' SPPL ESMT: 10" HPPL 32' CCCSD ESMT 14' Drainage ESMT CCCFCWCD 15' PG&E ESMT 100' ROW 34' CCCSD ESMT 14' Drainage ESMT CCCFCWCD 10' SPPL ESMT: 10" HPPL 5' PG&E ESMT Overhead BART Tracks ROW VARIES 10' SPPL ESMT: 10" HPPL FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL CCCSD ESMT: EXISTING PATH 50' ROW 1' POLE ESMT 24" WATER LINE: EBMUD 12' SAN.

Community-Identified Needs Community feedback was received throughout the majority of the corridor. In order to identify the areas along the corridor that the community felt most strongly needed improvements, comments were summarized by number of comments/likes, type, and location and organized by segment. The segments were then ranked based on the following criteria: Less Concerned: had comments spread throughout the area, without a particular theme or trend. Somewhat Concerned: had similar trends of comments with lower repetition. Most Concerned: had a high frequency and repetition of comments noting where there are deficiencies along the trail, such as noting unsafe or difficult intersections to navigate. While community-identified needs were summarized based on both in-person and online engagement results, Map 10 highlights the comments received through the interactive webmap described in Chapter 1. Some themes that emerged include: PROVIDE USER SEPARATION ALONG THE TRAIL "This area provides a huge safety concern especially for the many school age children that use these access routes to go to and from numerous schools in the area" INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ACCESS POINTS "There is no easy access from the large park and ride and the trail. This limits people from driving part way and then using the trail either walking or biking to their destination" PRIORITIZE TRAIL USERS AT ROAD CROSSINGS "[Traffic] lights definitely favor cars; long, long wait times at some times of the day for lights to allow pedestrians/ cyclists to cross. Tempts people to cross against the lights rather than wait" "There needs to be a foot bridge over Monument Blvd. Not only is this intersection dangerous, but it also impedes the flow of traffic" ADD AMENITIES SUCH AS LIGHTING, SHADE, AND BIKE STATIONS "This section of the trail is a very long and dark corridor confined by a concrete wall fence along the canal. Add lighting to deter people from loitering and show trail users what they are walking into. Murals along the block wall and the back of Safeway could help activate this sad looking area" "Need better wayfinding signs that are easy to read at a distance or while riding a bike" IMPROVE BICYCLE AND WALKING CONNECTIONS TO THE TRAIL "I have two young children and we need a safer route to get to the trails for the bike rides we often take to enjoy the local parks and restaurants located near the trail" 29 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What are the Corridor Needs? !! !! !! !!

These proposed design tools take into consideration ways in which the quality of the trail experience can be enhanced for existing users, as well as the way in which new users, especially those using some of the new micromobility modes, might interface with the trail. To address the user comfort, connectivity, and access needs described in the previous chapter, potential trail improvements were categorized into three main types: • Trail corridor improvements, • Intersection improvements, and • Access enhancements. All three main types of trail improvements are impacted and informed by trail users and demand. These factors are described on the following pages. 03 What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? There are a variety of ways to implement each type of improvement, and the appropriate design tools depend on the context of each segment, intersection, or access point in question. Examples of potential interventions are included in the following pages, which highlight best practices and design precedents utilized for other successful trails. Implementing some of the design tools outlined in this chapter will help ensure the trail is designed so that it can accommodate all potential user groups—from those who use the trail today to future modes that may not yet exist. 34 Users & Demand Current Trail Users The current Iron Horse Trail is designed for users of all ages and abilities. Existing trail users include people walking, people running, people rolling (riding skateboards, rollerblading, and rollerskating), and people bicycling. Additional existing user groups of the trail include people using electric bicycles, people riding horses, and people with disabilities. These users and their needs are outlined in Table 7. PEOPLE USING ELECTRIC BICYCLES Electric bicycles, commonly referred to as e-bikes, are a relatively new, but increasingly important mode of sustainable transportation. E-bikes benefit people who are interested in bicycling but may be limited because of physical fitness, age, disability, or because their trips are too far or the terrain too difficult to be completed by a regular bicycle. E-bikes resemble regular bicycles, but incorporate an electric motor to assist users while pedaling. E-bikes enable users to make trips that are 22% longer than trips using regular bicycles. As of March 3, 2019, Class 1 e-bikes with a speed limit of 20 mph that must be pedaled to operate, and Class 2 e-bikes with a speed limit of 20 mph that can be operated by using a throttle are allowed on select trails managed by the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD), including the Iron Horse Trail. PEOPLE RIDING HORSES Equestrians travel along the corridor, typically along the land adjacent to the paved trail. Equestrians are required to clean up after their horses on paved trails. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES The term “people with disabilities” includes individuals with physical or cognitive impairment, as well as those with hearing or visual limitations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2016, one out of every four Americans had a disability that limits their mobility. Additionally, nearly everyone will experience a disability at some point in their life, whether through injury, aging, or other circumstances. Trails that are physically separated from motor vehicle traffic, such as the Iron Horse Trail, provide a safe and comfortable place for people with disabilities to enjoy. Potential Trail Users PEOPLE USING MICROMOBILITY DEVICES Micromobility devices such as e-scooters and dockless bikes and e-bikes can offer an efficient commute mode for trail users, and are popular rental options in areas with dense employment or residential centers. Micromobility devices can also be used for the first-last mile trip to and from transit stations. Maximum speeds typically range from 15-20 mph and maximum travel distances typically range from 15-40 miles. Implementing shared mobility options for the Iron Horse Trail will be most effective if they are also implemented in adjacent communities. Creating a regional e-bike/e- scooter share system will ensure that micromobility devices can provide a seamless connection between the trail and surrounding communities.Users & Demand 35 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like?

Mobile devices are making it easier to check transit status in real-time, call a ride sharing service, or access a bike share system. They will also create opportunities to integrate modes, making it easier to use more than one mode to complete a trip. Additionally, shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) vehicles may soon be a regular part of travel options for individuals and transit services. New technologies could be used to expand travel options and reduce vehicle trips in the surrounding communities by utilizing the Iron Horse Trail Corridor. Trail Configuration Based on User Demand In order to properly plan for and serve different trail users, it is important to first understand potential user demand and expected use of the trail. Understanding potential user demand can guide design decisions about trail width and the potential separation of users on the trail. For example, segments of the trail that have particularly high user demand may require a wider, user separated facility than segments with lower demand in order to provide a high level of service and comfort for trail users of all ages and abilities. Measuring the Level of Service (LOS) of a trail can be done by using the Federal Highway Administration’s Shared-Use Path Level of Service (SUPLOS) Calculator, which analyzes the interplay between trail width and user demand. The tool enables planners and designers to understand the current level of service of a trail given its current use, as well as its ability to serve users in the future if user demand were to increase. With the SUPLOS model, if the expected user demand of a trail is to increase, the trail width must increase in order to provide the same level of service for trail users. Separating users on the trail will always provide a higher level of service, and is considered to be an appropriate design option for areas with high demand. The FHWA SUPLOS Calculator is scored on a scale of A-F, with A being considered "Excellent" and F "Failing". An "A" score indicates that the trail provides a high quality user experience, has optimum conditions for individual bicyclists, and retains enough space to accommodate more users of all modes. An "F" score signals that the trail provides a poor user experience for trail users and has frequent and significant user conflicts. A second tool that can be used to understand trail width, user demand, and user comfort is the Level of Comfort (LOC) tool. This tool utilizes LOS as a weighted factor, but includes other additional factors that impact user comfort such as solar index, slopes, vehicle stress, context & views, and perceived crime risk. While the results of the tool still show that a wider trail will provide a higher level of service and comfort for trail users, it provides a way to improve user comfort in the event that existing corridor conditions or cost limits preclude the trail from being as wide as it should be to achieve high LOS. Both the LOS and LOC tools can be used to develop different trail widths and configurations that serve different users. Figure 2 shows how trail width and configurations transition when expected demand and the presence of different user groups with more variable speeds change. For example, as a trail starts to see higher volumes of users, a wider trail with separated paths for people rolling and people walking is necessary to maintain an optimal LOS score. Figure 2 also shows howtrail design needs change with the introduction of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV), which is not currently a projected user type of the Iron Horse Trail. The existing Iron Horse Trail is a 10-foot-wide shared- use trail. Widening the trail and separating users based on speed, user type, or experience will allow the trail to accommodate a greater number of users, as well as users who are traveling at higher speeds such as those on electric bikes and electric scooters. 37 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like?

This new mode, though not yet commercial, could provide an alternative to worsening congestion patterns in the areas surrounding the Iron Horse Trail by providing a new dedicated motorized route along the corridor. SAVs could potentially be introduced to the corridor through a pilot program focused on a specific goal and section of the corridor. Shared Autonomous Vehicles (SAVs) Needs There are a number of considerations and steps involved in introducing this technology- forward option to the Iron Horse Trail corridor: 1. Conduct community outreach to establish goals for a potential pilot program. Understanding the community's needs, desires, and concerns is important for determining the goals for a potential pilot program. Would it be used to connect employees and employment centers to BART stations? Children to schools? Seniors or people with disabilities to key destinations and services? Having a clear goal for the SAV pilot program will help determine the appropriate route, find and allocate resources, and measure challenges and successes. 2. Understand the policy, technical, infrastructure, and operational requirements of running a SAV program. °Policy: Federal and state regulations and requirements for SAV programs are constantly changing. It is important to coordinate with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC), the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to ensure the pilot program is adhering to all current requirements. °Technical requirements include the SAV itself (vehicle, hardware, and software); parking, covered storage, and charging station; fleet automation platform and apps; Mobility on Demand (MOD) application; and a Computational Aided Dispatch (CAD)/ Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) systems. °Infrastructure requirements include trail widening, installation of fiber, intersection/signal improvements, striping and signage, and Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC). °Operational considerations include the testing of the program, agency coordination, staff needs, and stakeholder partnerships. Regional Examples Two SAV pilot programs in the Contra Costa region have been tested to date. The first of these programs was a two-year study (2017-2019) by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) of low-speed, electric and autonomous EZ10 shuttles manufactured by EasyMile. The CCTA’s SAV Program operated two generations of the EZ10 shuttles, and Phase 1 of the study piloted the SAVs at the GoMentum Station, an Autonomous Vehicle Proving Grounds in Concord. Phase 2 of the study operated the vehicles at the Bishop Ranch Business Park in San Ramon. CCTA continues to test at Bishop Ranch. CCTA was also recently awarded federal grant funds Users & Demand 39 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like?

IRON HORSE TRAIL CONTRA COSTA COUNTY IRON HORSE TRAIL Potential Early Action SAV Corridor Potential SAV Corridor Map 11 Potential SAV Corridor based on Physical Opportunities, Constraints, and Land Use Context to implement an Automated Driving System Demonstration Program (ADS) in Rossmoor, Martinez, and along the I-680 corridor. The second pilot program will be deployed by the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Agency (LAVTA) to study the viability of SAVs as a first and last mile solution to connect local residents to the Dublin/Pleasanton Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. Considerations & Potential Concerns for the Iron Horse Trail SAVs could serve as a way to provide first/last mile connections to fixed-route transit, improve mobility options for people along the corridor, and reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, because it is such a new technology, there are current limitations that must be considered. First, it is important to consider how integrating SAVs would change the existing culture and identity of the corridor. During the public comment period for the Draft Study, community members identified concerns about SAVs. These concerns include safety, noise, and the potential to change the character of the neighborhoods surrounding the trail. Because of this feedback, community outreach is recommended as an important first step to help identify any additional concerns and community goals though a future SAV study. Second, to date, SAVs have not been tested in a naturalized environment such as the Iron Horse Trail, and could face challenges when first implemented along the corridor. Objects in their path, including other modes, are seen as a perceived obstacle and require the SAV to stop, which would increase travel time and reduce efficiency. As the technology stands today, SAVs would require a dedicated lane to travel in. Map 11 shows the segments along the Iron Horse Corridor that could be candidates for a pilot program. These segments were identified based on physical opportunities, constraints, and land use context, and are locations that can be considered for an additional SAV study. These segments connect to BART as well as employment hubs. They also have available ROW for a dedicated SAV path. Improvements to intersections would be required. See Appendix C for more information on SAVs. 40Trail Corridor PHYSICALLY CONSTRAINED ROW Creating space for people rolling and people walking in physically constrained rights-of-way can be accomplished through curbs, signs, paint, and/or surface material. These treatments will help inform users of the best place to travel. Applicable to: • Activity Centers / Adjacent to Commercial MINIMALLY CONSTRAINED ROW Providing horizontal separation between people riding and people running or walking can be achieved when there is between 22 feet and 28 feet of available space. The buffer between the pathways can vary in width and material throughout the corridor based on adjacent land use context. Applicable to: • Activity Centers and Parks & Housing Segments OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH LINEAR PARKS Where the trail passes through open space, parallel paths can provide different user experiences creating fast and active paths and a complementary passive and leisurely path in open space areas. Applicable to: • Parks & Housing Segments Trail Corridor NEEDS & OPPORTUNITIES: Trail corridor improvements greatly enhance safety, mobility, user experience, and project synergy. Wider trails with separated spaces for different user groups can make the trail feel safer and more efficient. User separated trails can accommodate increased demand and emerging technologies such as e-bikes and e-scooters, and support this Study’s vision of creating a mobility spine for the region. Elements such as trail approaches to intersections, material changes, striping, and consistent lighting improve safety and user experience. DESIGN TOOLS: • Trail Cross-Sections • Trail Approaches • Cantilevered Trail • Transitions and Mixing Zones • Green Infrastructure and Shade Trees • Lighting Trail Cross-Sections A separated use trail will enable users of all ages and abilities to comfortably travel along the trail and minimize user conflicts. Separating users along the Iron Horse Trail can be achieved through a range of design interventions that respond to existing physical conditions and adjacent land uses. Design interventions that could be used to develop user separated facilities include vertical or horizontal separation, signage, painting and striping, and surface material to help inform users of the best area to travel for their speed or experience. Widening the bicycle path to a minimum 14' can also serve a similar purpose, providing more space for fast user groups to pass slower or recreational users. 14’6’-8’ by user SEPARATE D BY USER Creating space for people rolling and people walking can be accomplished through a physical separation such as mountable curb as well as signs, paint, and surface material.

As the trail approaches these areas design tools such as mixing zones, optical speed bars, and changes in pavement materials and lighting can warn trail users to slow down and expect a crossing. The figures on the following page provide examples of these treatments. Design tools at road intersections are described in the next section of this chapter. TRAIL APPROACH AT ROAD CROSSING Bollards are physical barriers designed to restrict motor vehicle access to a multi-use trail. Unfortunately, physical barriers are often ineffective at preventing access, and create obstacles to legitimate trail users. Alternative design strategies use signage, landscaping and curb cut design to reduce the likelihood of motor vehicle access. Typical Application • Bollards or other barriers should not be used unless there is a documented history of unauthorized intrusion by motor vehicles. • If unauthorized use persists, assess whether the problems posed by unauthorized access exceed the risks and issues posed by bollards and other barriers. Design Features • At intersections, split the path tread into two sections separated by low landscaping. • Vertical curb cuts should be used to discourage motor vehicle access. • Low landscaping preserves visibility and emergency access. • “No Motor Vehicles” signage (MUTCD R5- 3) may be used to reinforce access rules. TRAIL APPROACH AT ACCESS POINT To improve visibility of access points along the Iron Horse Trail, design treatments could include mixing zones, optical speed bars and lighting. TRAIL CROSSINGS / TRAIL ROUNDABOUTS Special considerations should also be applied when the Iron Horse Trail intersects another trail. Mixing zone treatments could also be applied to the intersecting trail to warn both path users of the upcoming intersection. Bicycle roundabouts can also be applied at these crossings to minimize potential conflicts. Bicycle roundabouts at trail intersections are used to counter safety concerns of mixing high-speed bicyclists with high volumes of pedestrians. Where space allows, a trail roundabout can minimize potential conflicts. Trail roundabout designs are based on conventional roundabout intersections, scaled to bicycle operating dimensions and speeds. On separated use trails, user separation should be maintained and pedestrians should have crosswalks and sidewalk connections, similar to with a full-size roundabout.Trail Corridor 43 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like?

In these areas, a cantilevered trail can be considered to meet the project vision and goals. A cantilevered trail uses a structure that hangs over the top of the channel wall and is supported at the top-of-bank. It would have an anchored base at top-of-bank with a path superstructure that hangs over the edge of the river channel. It would be unsupported over the channel. This is a valuable approach where there is available space at top-of-bank, but less than the width needed for the desired trail width to meet future demand. The benefit of a cantilever is that it keeps the trail above the high water surface elevation, minimizing impacts to the flood control capacity and allowing the trail to be open year-round. Transitions and Mixing Zones Throughout the corridor there are locations that demand special attention and consideration. These include locations at the convergence of paths, where the trail transitions to a narrow bridge or at undercrossings, and at road crossings. In these locations, additional design features may be needed to create a safe and continuous trail. MIXING ZONES At the convergence of two or more paths, it is important to provide the user with advance warning of the changing conditions and guidance on how to move through the mixing zone. Mixing zones are locations where users will be required to interact cautiously through the space. The transition between the trail and the mixing zone where the advance warning is located may be between 50-100 feet long. The design of mixing zones should clearly communicate yield priority, user positioning, and safe speeds. Interactions between users should be clearly managed with crosswalks, yield markings, and materials to indicate the degree of yielding or mixing expected of trail users. Trail Corridor 45 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? OPTICAL SPEED BARS Optical speed bars are pavement markings used to increase user awareness of an upcoming change to the physical environment and caution the user to decrease their speed. The speed bars are a series of white or colored rectangular pavement markings, 2 feet wide, placed inside both edges of the trail travel area. The markings are progressively spaced more closely together to visually narrow the lane and increase awareness of an upcoming change. MATERIALS Path materials may be used to indicate a change in operating conditions. Crossing areas, mixing zones, and tactile paving have all been used for this purpose. Thermoplastic rumble strips may be used in advance of transition areas or crosswalks. A change in paving materials, such as transitioning from asphalt to brick, can also warn users of an upcoming change. The use of different or contrasting materials can also differentiate use, such as constructing a soft surface pedestrian path and an asphalt bike path. Pavement markings may include bicycle lane markings, high-visibility crosswalks, and colored concrete crosswalks. Other options include inlays or paving surface changes to signal critical areas. 46 Green Stormwater Infrastructure and Shade Trees Green infrastructure treats and slows runoff from impervious surface areas such as roadways, sidewalks, and buildings. Sustainable stormwater strategies may include bioretention swales, rain gardens, tree box filters, and pervious pavements (pervious concrete, asphalt and pavers). Bioswales are natural landscape elements that manage water runoff from a paved surface, reducing the risks of erosion or flooding of local streams and creeks, which can threaten natural habitats. Plants in the swale trap pollutants and silt from entering a river system. Trees can be used to provide shade, manage runoff, reduce greenhouse gases, aid in carbon sequestration, and increase urban habitat. Lighting Trail lighting that is properly designed can improve visibility and natural surveillance, increase trail access and use, provide a sense of safety and security, and extend operating hours during shorter days. In addition, properly lit trails reduce bicycle and pedestrian collisions during night time hours. Lighting along the Iron Horse Trail should be analyzed per segment context with full consideration for safety needs, wildlife habitat, trail function, cost benefit, and maintenance commitments. Street lighting can improve visibility of roadways at crossings and trails. Lighting may also be necessary for day-time use in underpasses. Lighting can either be wired or solar. Wired lighting is recommended in areas except for those where utility connection is infeasible or when alternative energy sources are desired. Any decisions about lighting along the trail should be made in coordination with local agencies and community input. LIGHTING GUIDELINES • Lighting should be at pedestrian scale. Placement, spacing, and other finish specifications depend on the fixture and optical needs/conditions. • Lighting fixture types include bollard lights, pole mounted lights and integrated lighting (i.e. within architectural or wayfinding elements, planting beds, handrails, etc.) • Lighting should minimize energy usage, operating costs, light trespass, light pollution and glare. • Consider timers, sensors, and remote- control technology which can enhance the sense of security and conserve energy. • Illuminate only the intended targeted areas and use cut-off fixtures that aim lights down instead of above or behind the fixture, which causes light pollution and trespass. • Lighting should avoid trees and be placed outside of canopy edge. • Consider Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles whenever lighting is introduced, such as color rendering, areas of concealment, and abstracted illumination. • Use energy efficient lamps that comply with environmental guidelines, and that provide supreme color rendering, such as white lights. • Solar powered lighting should be considered only where utility connection is not feasible or when alternative energy sources are desired. Daylight hours should be analyzed per season prior to specifying solar lighting. • Avoid light fixtures at eye level that could cause glare and impair visibility.Trail Corridor 47 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like?

Community members noted long wait times at signalized crossings and frequent stop signs along the Iron Horse Trail. Many suggested that trail intersections at roadways could benefit from design features that warn trail users of roadway traffic, and roadway traffic of trail users. Existing constrained and offset intersections make it challenging for bidirectional travel for all trail users, especially during heavy-use hours. DESIGN TOOLS: • Continuity of Crossings • At-Grade Crossing Improvements by Road Classification • Grade Separated Crossings Continuity of Crossings While the design of each intersection will vary based upon the particular context and right-of- way configuration, specific design treatments should optimize visibility, improve sight lines, and enhance user experience. The following items are recommended to improve the continuity of crossings along the Iron Horse Trail corridor: 1. Optical speedbars and standardized mixing zone design at each road crossing approach (see pages 42-43) 2. Improve sight lines and remove bollards at intersections, which may require realigning trail to provide a direct approach to the road crossing 3. Enhanced lighting and high visibility crosswalks Individual jurisdictions along the corridor will prescribe the locally appropriate at-grade crossing treatments to increase awareness and visibility, reduce exposure and crossing distance, and calm traffic. The following examples are effective tools to improve at- grade crossings along the Iron Horse Trail. REORIENT STOP SIGNS Changing the priority of which mode stops when the trail crosses a local, low-volume road could improve convenience and comfort for trail users. Traffic calming features such as raised crosswalks, curb extensions, or chicanes could be used in conjunction with reorienting stop signs to require vehicular traffic to stop and allow trail users to cross. In addition to the stop signs, intersection warning signs could be installed to warn trail users of an upcoming road crossing. These applications would be appropriate where trail user volumes exceed traffic volumes. Trail users should watch carefully before crossing to ensure clear sight lines and slow traffic speeds are present. CROSSWALK WITH FLASHING BEACONS Flashing beacons like Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) beacons improve the visibility of marked crosswalks. Flashing lights and signage alert drivers of the upcoming crosswalk and provide greater visibility for pedestrians. PASSIVE DETECTION AND SIGNAL ACTIVATION Passive detection along the trail can help to shorten wait times for trail users when they approach a signalized crossing. 49 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? Accessible push buttons offer trail users the opportunity to activate a signal to stop traffic thereby facilitating a safer crossing. HIGH VISIBILITY MARKINGS High visibility pavement markings improve driver awareness of crosswalk areas and the presence of trail users, making crossings safer. PEDESTRIAN REFUGE ISLAND Pedestrian refuge islands reduce the crossing distance of crosswalks by providing a dedicated space for pedestrians in the center of the roadway. CURB EXTENSION Curb extensions can be implemented at intersections to make crossings safer. Curb extensions visually and physically narrow the street, and can give trail users a better chance to see and be seen before crossing. 50 LOCAL INTERSECTIONS Intersections between the trail and local streets can include design improvements that enhance the comfort and safety for all users Potential improvements include: • Reorient stop signs • Flashing beacons • Raised crossing • Median dividers • Chicanes • High visibility crosswalk • Enhanced lighting • Remove barriers and bollards COLLECTOR INTERSECTIONS The intersection of a collector street with the trail offers the opportunity for an enhanced collection of indicators that assist users in safely navigating through the intersection Potential improvements include: • Crosswalk beacon • Flashing beacon • Trail signal detection (passive and active) • Pedestrian median island • Curb extension • High visibility crosswalk • Enhanced lighting • Remove barriers and bollards ARTERIAL INTERSECTIONS An intersection between an arterial street and the trail can benefit from an expanded number of design interventions to ensure that vehicles and trail users alike understand how to safely proceed through the intersection Potential improvements include: • Grade separated crossing • Crosswalk beacon • Flashing beacon • Trail signal detection (passive and active) • Pedestrian median island • Curb extension • High visibility crosswalk • Enhanced lighting • Remove barriers and bollards EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS BASED ON ROAD CLASSIFICATION The road classification system—local, collector and arterial roadways—offers a convenient format for organizing potential improvements that take into consideration the differing roadway widths, travel speeds and vehicular travel utilization that often distinguishes the various road types. The table to the right provides a menu of potential design interventions. Specific intersection improvements, as well as user priority at intersections, will be determined in collaboration with local jurisdictions.Intersections 51 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like?

BRIDGES Bicycle/pedestrian bridges allow for trail continuity or access areas separated by barriers such as high volume roads and adjacent creeks. Overcrossings at road intersections along the Iron Horse Trail could improve existing crossings where the trail alignment requires users to cross multiple intersection legs, ADT exceeds 25,000 vehicles, and where 85th percentile speeds exceed 45 miles per hour. In addition, bridges could also provide new access to the trail for communities who are currently separated by a creek or other physical constraint. Overcrossings require a minimum of 17 feet of vertical clearance over a roadway and typically fall under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which strictly limits ramp slopes to 5% (1:20) with landings at 400 foot intervals, or 8.33% (1:12) with landings every 30 feet. Average slope, elevation change, and wind level all impact user comfort while ascending a ramp. The average slope of a ramp impacts user comfort significantly more than ramp length. Therefore, providing slopes that are lower than 5% will provide a better user experience for all ages and abilities along the core route of the Iron Horse Trail. Bridges offer an opportunity to create a focal point which enhances the trail experience and supports community identity. Modular design and innovative materials such as lightweight composites should be considered for overcrossings. UNDERCROSSINGS Undercrossings along the Iron Horse Trail provide grade-separated crossings from roads and freeways. Some undercrossings could be improved to provide additional vertical clearance (minimum 8 feet, preferred 12 feet) and width for future trail use. Undercrossings should meet the following design objectives: • User feels invited to pass through. Undercrossing should maximize available natural light and supplement with artificial lighting that is integrated into the overall design. Undercrossing should be well- maintained; clear of trash and other debris. • Undercrossing must avoid hiding places, and discourage lingering and loitering. Implementing sound or other sensory elements to reduce user anxieties should be considered. • User is protected from harm. Railing should be integrated into design and should be transparent to maximize visibility.Intersections 54Access & AmenitiesACCESS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS Residential access areas present small-scale opportunities to serve the surrounding neighborhood. Potential improvements include: • Increasing the number of neighborhood access points • Removing both visual and physical barriers to existing access points • Accommodating different user types & speeds • Providing amenities such as: wayfinding, lighting, and seating ACCESS AT OPEN SPACE AREAS Opportunities for new or improved access are located in areas with minimally constrained rights-of-way or adjacent to parks. Potential improvements include: • New passive uses such as: art, community gardens, and seating • New active recreational opportunities such as: fitness equipment, mountain bike pump track, bocce, etc. • Upgrades to existing park landscape • Provide amenities such as: restrooms, water, and shade ACCESS AT COMMERCIAL AREAS Commercial areas are great opportunities to activate trail access areas. Potential improvements include: • Flex space for temporary programming such as: food trucks, farmers markets, and concerts • Reorient existing businesses & services to the trail (restaurants, bike shops, cafes) • Support future trail oriented development • Provide amenities such as: secure bike parking, tables & chairs, and bike share Access & Amenities NEEDS & OPPORTUNITIES: Access improvements increase connections to trails, existing and planned bikeways, and local and regional destinations. New and improved access points better integrate the Iron Horse Trail into the regional bike and pedestrian network, and provide direct access to key destinations such as schools and transit. Amenities such as art, seating, wayfinding, and linear parks make the trail more desirable and accessible to a broader range of users. Programming, trail-oriented development, and mobility hubs help to activate the trail and improve synergy with new technologies and land uses. DESIGN TOOLS: • New & Improved Access Points by Context • Amenities • Linear Parks • Programming • Trail Oriented Development • Mobility Hubs • Wayfinding & Branding New and Improved Access Points by Context Access improvements can make the trail more inviting to users by improving connections to the existing network and providing amenities. These improvements may vary depending on land use context. For example, amenities appropriate for an access point in a commercial area may differ from those recommended for a residential street. However, the design tools available to make improvements are consistent throughout. Design tools that may be used to improve trail access points include amenities such as new wayfinding signage, seating, lighting, shade, landscaping, and public art. Some or all of these tools can be combined to create gathering spaces for community members, as well as spaces for events or other activities. Additionally, design interventions can include removing existing barriers at existing or potential new access points, with the aim of increasing the number and quality of access points available to trail users. Specific access improvements will be determined in collaboration with local jurisdictions and community input, and will take into account general plans and local area land uses. 55 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like?

Open Space Gathering Space Conceptual Elements Shown For Illustrative Purposes Only Conceptual Elements Shown For Illustrative Purposes Only Conceptual Elements Shown For Illustrative Purposes Only 56 INTERPRETIVE ELEMENTS Interpretive elements can enrich the trail with a “sense of place” and enrich the experience of the trail for locals and visitors to the area. Historical and ecological inspiration is abundant, and a creative educational approach that is tied into site amenities and placemaking will highlight the beauty, ecology, and rich history of the area. Potential themes for exploration include; history of Southern Pacific Railroad, native wildlife and plant communities, and health benefits of active transportation. LANDSCAPE AT ACCESS POINTS Landscape design can be used at access points to highlight gateways to the communities and neighborhoods along the Iron Horse Trail, and to create a sense of place. Based on the scale and context of the access point, the landscape design should be grounded in native and drought- tolerate plants and may range from minimal accent and buffer plantings to larger plantings with sizable canopy trees. The landscape may be used to provide shade, provide green infrastructure, provide local habitat, reduce urban heat island effect, and enhance aesthetics.Access & AmenitiesCoordination with Adjacent Landowners New access points or improvements made at existing access points will require coordination with adjacent landowners to ensure they best support existing land uses. ACCESS POINTS AT SCHOOLS Access points to school sites create an opportunity to provide a safe route to school option and must be vetted with the school districts to develop mutually beneficial solutions and address school security requirements. ACCESS POINTS AT PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT SITES Developing and enhancing access points to private development sites such as Bishop Ranch Business Park need to engage the property owner, tenants and relevant local jurisdiction to develop mutually beneficial solutions. Amenities PUBLIC ART Public art installations and murals contribute to and enhance a community’s identity and character, creating a strong “sense of place” branding. Public art provides visual cues that the facility is “owned” and cared for by the community. Art installations also can encourage play, function as interpretive aids, or serve as a trail’s primary attraction. Long-term public art installations such as public pianos or other features can also attract users to the trail. From a CPTED perspective, the use of public art in the landscape is an effective ‘target hardening’ strategy. Public art has the potential to deter graffiti vandalism, define path edges, improve the appearance of the community, and discourage unwanted behaviors. 57 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? SITE FURNISHINGS Site furniture helps to ensure comfort along the trail, providing places for people to pause and rest, and for activity and shared experiences. Seating Public seating contributes to the user experience by making walkways and open space an enjoyable place to rest, congregate, or contemplate. Seating opportunities along the trail provide a short relief and also promote an added enjoyment of the scenic environment. Tables and chairs could be provided at access points adjacent to commercial activities. Drinking Fountains Drinking fountains along the trail enable a greater diversity of users to utilize the trail for longer durations without risking dehydration. Fountains should be spaced at regular intervals that correspond with key gateways and landmarks. Locating fountains with multiple heights will help accommodate a range of user ages and physical abilities, as well as pets. Trash and Recycling Providing places to dispose of trash and recycling may help to encourage stewardship both of the trail and the open space corridor. Bicycle Tools and Parking Clearly delineated and secure places to lock bicycles should be placed at access points that provide connections to community destinations. Bicycle fix-it stations typically provide tools for minor repairs. Electric Charging Stations Charging stations for privately owned e-scooters and e-bikes can provide micromobility users with an additional amenity along the trail. 58 Linear Parks Passive Parks Parks and open space can provide opportunities for passive uses such as contemplation and reflection, passive enjoyment of the natural environment, and community gathering. Amenities such as seating, shade, art, and community gardens can help make the spaces more attractive for residents and visitors. Active Parks Active parks can provide new recreational opportunities for trail users, promoting physical activity for users of all ages and abilities. Amenities could include stationary fitness equipment, playground equipment, a mountain bike pump track, or a bocce ball court, among other possibilities. Programming such as yoga or dance classes can help activate the spaces. Programming A range of programming activities could be implemented at access points to serve the community and attract residents and visitors to the trail. These include active programming such as yoga, dance, or other fitness classes; children’s programming such as organized playtime events and storytelling; and educational programming such as outdoor classrooms and community gardens. Additionally, access points could host bicycle education workshops for community members to improve comfort and safety on the trail. Trail-Oriented Development Trail-oriented development presents an opportunity for economic development and growth along the corridor. With the trail serving as an active mobility spine for the region, adjacent land uses could be designated for new housing and commercial centers that would not significantly increase the number of car trips in the area. Revenue generated by the new development could be invested back into the community or used for trail enhancements, operations, and maintenance.Access & Amenities 59 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? Mobility Hubs Mobility hubs are a collection of transportation- oriented elements that make it easier to access the shared and active mobility network. The key elements can be mixed and matched to create a mobility hub that is customized for each access point. Mobility hubs are places where different modes, such as walking, bicycling, transit, and shared mobility services such as bike share, scooter share, car share, and TNCs, come together to provide a suite of transportation options for people. Additionally, the potential to introduce shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) in the future is also being considered at mobility hubs. Some access points may provide an appropriate location for mobility hubs as places where the Iron Horse Trail provides a connection to community needs. Providing additional mobility services at strategic access points will increase the connectivity and mobility options of trail users, who may combine transit, active modes, and shared mobility options found at the mobility hubs to create seamless transportation connections throughout the region. Mobility hubs support first–last mile solutions by providing multimodal transportation services and activities around transit stations to maximize connectivity and access for transit riders. Along the Iron Horse Trail, there are strategic locations where mobility hubs would provide important connections to the surrounding network and destinations. By providing a robust set of transportation options at mobility hubs, the unique and complex mobility needs of trail users can be met, increasing the connectivity of the system and the destinations that can be reached by non single occupancy vehicles. Amenities that may be found at a mobility hub include, but are not limited to: • Adequate bus stop and layover zones • Transit shelters with real- time arrival information • Bicycle and e-bike share stations • Scooter-share or other micromobility options • SAV transit stops • Car share facilities • Taxi or ride hailing waiting/call areas • Wi-fi service • Bicycle storage & repair facilities • Retail • Open space By providing a robust array of options at mobility hubs, a variety of different needs can be accommodated, greatly increasing the number of destinations reachable by transit. 60 Wayfinding for Active Mobility Well-crafted wayfinding systems foster a sense of place and encourage people walking and bicycling to go that extra mile and explore new areas. Places that are arranged intuitively so that we can see obvious destinations from a distance, determine pathways, and recognize areas of different character are more legible. The “legibility” of a place describes how easy it is to understand. Legible wayfinding systems enable individuals to: • Easily and successfully find their destination • Understand where they are with respect to other key locations • Orient themselves in an appropriate direction with little misunderstanding or stress • Discover new places and services • Feel safe (enhance the sense of safety) The following six core principles aim to guide the placement and design of a wayfinding system in order to create a clear wayfinding experience and achieve a more navigable trail.Access & Amenities1. CONNECT PLACES Effective wayfinding information should enable local residents as well as visitors to travel between destinations and discover new destinations and services. Wayfinding should help improve local economic well- being by encouraging people to utilize services along the Iron Horse Trail. Wayfinding should enhance connections within the region and to neighboring communities and expand the active transportation network. 2. PROMOTE ACTIVE TRAVEL Wayfinding should encourage increased walking and rolling by revealing a clear and attractive system that is easy to understand and navigate. The presence of wayfinding signs should validate walking and rolling as transportation options, as well as reduce fear amongst those interested in making more trips by walking or rolling. Wayfinding should expand the awareness and use of active transportation facilities. 61 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? 3. MAINTAIN MOTION Walking and rolling require physical effort, and frequent stopping and starting to check directions may lead to frustration and discouragement. Consistent, clear, and visible wayfinding elements allow people walking and rolling to navigate while maintaining their state of motion. To help users maintain motion, wayfinding information also needs to be presented so that it can be quickly read and easily comprehended. 5. KEEP INFORMATION SIMPLE For a wayfinding network to be effective, information needs to be presented clearly and logically. It is important to provide information in manageable amounts. Too much information can be difficult to understand; too little and decision-making becomes difficult. The placement of signs and the information provided at each placement are also critical. Information should be provided in advance of where major changes in direction occur and confirmed when the maneuver is complete. 4. BE PREDICTABLE Effective wayfinding systems are predictable. When information is predictable, patterns emerge, and users of the network will be able to rely on the system to provide information when they expect it. Predictability also helps users to understand new situations quickly, whether it be navigating a new intersection or traveling to a destination for the first time. Predictability should relate to all aspects of wayfinding placement and design (i.e., sign materials, dimensions, colors, forms, and placement). Similarly, maps should employ consistent symbology, fonts, colors, and style. The system should be designed in accordance with local, state, and federal guidelines, ensuring that it can be funded through state and federal sources. 6. MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE Wayfinding signage should be accessible and be designed to be comprehensible by a wide range of users, including people of all ages and ability levels. As wayfinding systems often relate to accessible routes or pedestrian circulation, it is important to consider technical guidance from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to implement wayfinding signs and other elements that do not impede travel or create unsafe situations for pedestrians, bicyclists, and/or those with disabilities. Wayfinding Elements The goal of a wayfinding system is to simplify navigation in urban environments. This section describes the spectrum of elements that may be used in the Iron Horse Trail Wayfinding Signage Plan. ACCESS ELEMENTS Gateway Monument Define the entry into a distinct neighborhood, or mark trailheads, access points, and landmarks. Opportunity for community- directed placemaking and integrated artwork. Information Kiosk Provide system map and navigational information; most effective when placed in plazas, rest areas, or other locations where users may congregate, rest, or enter a trail or path. Secondary Access Signage Mark entry to trails or paths at locations where limited user traffic may not necessitate as much information as information kiosks.

Mile Marker Reinforce system branding and orient users along off-street trails or paths. Street/Trail Intersection Orient off-street trail users at street crossings and inform vehicular traffic of trail crossing. Fingerboard Clarify route options where two or more routes converge, or at complex intersections. 63 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? 64 Branding In addition to physical design consistency of the trail, establishing unique and consistent trail branding can draw attention, attract new users, build familiarity and inspiration, and maximize the trail’s potential for supporting economic development. Branding can provide a consistent voice to the project, with a visual identity that is distinct, harmonious, and memorable, reflecting the unique character of the region. A branding exercise looks at what colors, typefaces, visual elements, forms, materials, and design features can help to define the Iron Horse Trail helping to create a connected and user- friendly experience for visitors and residents. Branding and visual identity components may include: logos, color palette, typography, iconography, and wayfinding system signage. A unified brand and visual identity system for the Iron Horse Trail will: • Create a sense of place • Provide a memorable, clear, and distinctive voice • Build recognition and visibility for the Iron Horse Trail • Provide consistency for familiarity • Increase accessibility • Prioritize clarity and legibility to help visitors and residents navigate • Coordinate with existing landscape features and materialsAccess & Amenities 65 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study What Does the Future of the Iron Horse Trail Look Like? Proposed Logo Concepts Drawing from the history and geographical components of the Iron Horse Trail, a variety of inspired branding concepts were generated and presented to the project's Tecnical Advisory Committee (TAC). The text-based branding options pay homage to the shape of the railroad tracks and pull geometric elements from traditional railroad stakes. By contrast, the bridge branding options give a nod to some of the iconic and historic bridges found along the Iron Horse Trail. When entering new jurisdictions, local agency logos should be incorporated into the branding to alert users that they have entered a new community. See Appendix D, Iron Horse Trail Design Brief, for a summary of the TACs three preferred logo concepts for future consideration. IRON HORSE REGIONAL TRAIL IRON HORSE REGIONAL TRAIL 67 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study 04 How to Achieve the Vision? The proposed projects identify improvements to help the Iron Horse Trail achieve this Study's vision of becoming an active transportation spine that supports the region’s mobility goals and continues to provide a treasured recreational resource for users of all ages and abilities. The recommendations in this chapter were developed by pairing the corridor and community needs outlined in Chapter 2 with the potential design tools described in Chapter 3 to identify improvements for • Trail corridors; • Intersections; and • Access points. In addition, projects that would create connections to existing or planned bikeways beyond the project corridor were also identified. When there are limited capital improvement funds, a prioritization process is a useful planning tool to help understand which projects will have a greater impact in meeting the project vision. In addition, a prioritization process brings transparency and rationality to the decision- making process. It allows the public to see how projects were ranked and why. Finally, it allows the public to influence which types of projects are prioritized to meet community needs. This chapter describes the prioritization framework used to prioritize projects and presents three scenarios to help understand the impacts particular projects can have on future ridership and highlights the top three ranked projects based on the outcomes of the prioritization process for each jurisdiction. PRIORITIZATION FRAMEWORK Overview A goal-based evaluation process was used to prioritize the proposed projects. The project goals were developed through collaboration with the project’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and through community input. Criteria were identified for each of the five project goals as well as for the needs identified by the community. Proposed projects were then measured against the evaluation criteria to determine how well they respond to the project goals and community needs. The evaluation criteria were used to evaluate the performance of each project type per segment. 68 The ratings for each trail segment do not result in a total “score” that indicates the “most important” projects, but rather they provide qualitative guidance to inform a discussion of trade-offs by the project’s TAC, local jurisdictions, community members, and elected officials. The ratings were used to create an overall ranking of all the projects which can be found in Appendix F. Evaluation Criteria Table 8 shows the project goals, relative weight, related evaluation criteria, and the types of projects prioritized by each criterion. In addition to the five project goals, projects desired by the community were also included in the evaluation process. Each project was scored against the criteria on a score of 0 through 2, with 2 indicating the project directly met the criterion, 1 indicating the project indirectly met the criterion and 0 indicating the project did not meet the criterion. The goals were weighted based on two factors. One factor was related to the project's TAC. The TAC ranked the project goals based on how well the goals aligned with their jurisdiction's goals. The second factor was related to the results of an evaluation of 'Benefits of Improvements' described in the following pages. The goals and weighting are as follows: • Community Desired Projects: Projects identified by the community through the public engagement effort were included in the evaluation process with a weight of (1). • Safety: Enhances trail condition and traffic and intersection safety. In the TAC's overall goal rankings, Safety was given the highest ranking. Therefore, it was given the highest weight (2.5) in the evaluation process. • Mobility: Provides connections to transit, trails and on-street facilities; accommodates user demand and enhances user comfort. The mobility goal was also highly ranked by the TAC. In addition, the 'Benefits of Improvements' evaluation showed that providing strong connections to the trail would have a positive impact on trail demand. Therefore, the Mobility goal was given the second highest weight (2) to prioritize projects that connect to transit, trails, and existing and planned bikeways in areas of higher trail demand. • Access & Equity: Provides access to jobs, destinations, parks and open space, and health services; presents opportunities for new access points. This goal was also given a weight of (1). • User Experience: Improves trail conditions and amenities; presents opportunities for stormwater filtration, ecology, new amenities, and placemaking. This goal prioritizes projects that bring extra amenities to the trail and was given a weight of (0.5). • Project Synergy: Aligns with planned projects and existing land uses and allows for future expansion of new technologies. This goal was the lowest ranking goal by the TAC and was given a weight of (0.5). 69 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Achieve the Vision?

This evaluation modeled three proposed improvements (intersections, access, E-Bikes) and measured how they would impact future demand as well as perception of trip and travel time along the trail. The expected increase in users based on different types of improvements was considered when weighting the goals during the evaluation process. Each type of improvement relates directly to a specific goal. Intersections relate strongly to Safety and Mobility, access relates to Access & Equity and Mobility, and capacity for e-bikes relates to Mobility. Safety and Mobility were the two highest weighted goals in the evaluation process, and both prioritize projects that would most directly increase future use of the trail. The proposed improvements outlined in the following pages all contribute to one or more of these scenarios. While recommendations are listed by segment and ranked based on the prioritization process, these scenarios illustrate the importance of implementing improvements consistently across the corridor, as their coordinated implementation would result in the greatest overall increase in users for the trail. Improved Intersections Make the Trail Feel Shorter This study evaluated how trail priority at all intersections would impact trail users and total bikeable trips. There are 13 arterial crossings, 15 collector crossings, and 14 local crossings along the corridor. If arterial crossings were separated from the street, collector crossings had signals to decrease trail user waiting times, and local crossings required vehicles to stop, the trail would feel 14% shorter in length than existing conditions. Though the results did not indicate a large increase in the number of bikeable trips (only 1%), trail priority would enhance user experience and could encourage more bicyclists to use the trail. 71 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Achieve the Vision?

It was electric? With an increase of electric bikes, scooters, and similiar devices in the market, typical speeds of users will increase on the trail. With lower trip times, the trail will allow users to access more opportunities for commuting, errands, and the list goes on! “I can run errands car-free—no sweat!” People on e-bikes travel about faster than people on traditional bikes Greater speeds mean that people will likely travel further 20% Less experienced riders More experienced riders e-bike traditional bike 27 % More trips are bikeable People on e-bikes make trips that are22 % longer Would e-bikes or other device change the way you travel? Would you commute or make any trips differently? Expanded Access to the Trail Makes Trips More Bikeable This study modeled better trail connections. Currently, few comfortable on-street bike facilities connect users to the trail. With the addition of comfortable low-stress bikeways leading to the trail at regular intervals, 23% more trips would be bikeable. E-Bikes Allow Users to Take Longer Trips This study considered how the presence of e-bikes would impact trail usage. With an increase of electric bikes and scooters, trail user speeds would increase and allow for longer and faster trips. E-bikes would allow users to make trips that are 22% longer and would make 27% of trips more bikeable. 72 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The following section provides recommendations for projects that help meet the Study's vision. Meeting this vision will require multi-jurisdictional coordination and consistent implementation of the proposed projects across the Iron Horse Trail corridor. This includes coordination with Alameda County to ensure the entire length of the trail can be improved and maintained to the same high quality. However, priority projects are identified that could provide the greatest benefit to the communities that live there today, and could bring the greatest immediate enhancement to the existing corridor. How to Use this Section Figure 3 highlights how the recommendations are presented. Proposed projects are organized by jurisdiction and segment number. (See Map 2 for an overview of all 15 segments). Recommendations are organized into the three project types: trail corridor, intersections,and access improvements as well as opportunities to improve on-street connections. The tables on the following pages provide specific recommendations for each segment. In addition, a number of recommendations apply to the entire corridor and are not specifically called out in the #Segment #: Example Project type Description Trail Corridor • Lorem ipsum • Lorem ipsum Intersections • Lorem ipsum • Lorem ipsum Access • Lorem ipsum • Lorem ipsum Connections • Lorem ipsum • Lorem ipsum Figure 3 Example Projects by Segment Table tables. These universal recommendations are identifed in the following bullets. Trail corridor projects provide recommendations for trail configurations and widths that respond to physical conditions, adjacent land uses, and future user demand. Lighting and wayfinding improvements are recommended for the entire trail. • Lighting improvements are recommended for all corridor projects in order for the trail to serve as a dependable transportation facility. • Wayfinding along streets and corridors is recommended to help people get to the trail. In addition, wayfinding improvements along the trail are recommended to allow users to access directional information while in motion and help users navigate along the trail. Intersection improvement projects aim to improve the safety and convenience of the trail at intersections. • Improving sight lines at crossings and replacing bollards and/or fences with alternative design solutions are recommended across the Iron Horse Trail corridor. 73 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Achieve the Vision? Access projects identify locations for potential new access points as well as provide recommendations to enhance existing access points. They also all include programming opportunities and community amenities such as community gardens, restoration, or linear parks. In commercial areas, the County should work with neighboring property owners to formally provide connections to buildings adjacent to the trail. • Access along commercial or downtown areas is recommended at 300'-500’ intervals to allow permeability, and increase perceived safety and vibrancy. • Access improvements incorporate seating, shade, and amenities. • ADA parking at regular intervals (approximately every 5 miles) is recommended along the entire corridor to improve access for people with disabilities. Connection projects identify locations to improve connectivity to existing and planned bikeways and trails. Stars identify the three top-ranked projects per jurisdiction, based on the goal-based evaluation model. NOTES Some intersections in these segments may be within one jurisdiction but operated and maintained by another. Proposed improvements in these segments will require multi-jurisdictional coordination. All proposed projects considered adopted studies, previous plans, and other current projects. Current projects are noted on Maps 12-17 as being completed by others. Proposed conceptual cross sections for each segment can be found in Appendix E. 74 2 1 Iron Horse Trail Open Space Marsh Drive Trailhead Len Hester Park Fair Oaks Elementary SchoolMe a d o w L a n e Minert RdPort Chicago HwyImhoff Dr Monument BlvdWillow Pass RdContra Costa BlvdCowel l R d B a n c r o f t R d E Oliv e r a R d Clayto n R d Clayt o n R d O a k G r o v e R dCleaveland RdSolan o W a y Marsh Dr C h i lpancingo Parkwa y Wa ln u t C r e e k Walnut CreekWalnut CreekConcord A v e D i am o n d B l v d Delta d e Anza Trail Me r i d i a n P a r k Hookston Rd Lisa Ln Mayhew Way CONCORD PLEASANT HILL Proposed trail overcrossing Map 12 Concord Arterial Collector Local Undercrossing Regional Trail KEY MAP Trail Corridor PROJECT TYPE IMPROVEMENTS Intersections Access CONCORD ALAMO WALNUTCREEK SANRAMON PLEASANTHILL DANVILLE Physically Constrained ROW Minimally Constrained ROW Wide ROW Existing trail/ped bridge School/Open Space/Trail Residential/Street Business/ Commercial/Retail Trail Connection On Street Bikeway Connection Existing Trail BART Connection Park and Ride Connection Connections 75 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Achieve the Vision?

Intersections • Improve three local crossings at Hemme Ave, Camille Ave, and Wayne Ave. Access • Enhance existing residential/street access at South Ave, existing open space access at Hemme Station Park, and existing school access at Hemme Ave for Rancho Romero Elementary School. ALAMO PROJECTS Alamo includes three segments with the lowest user demand in the study corridor. This is due to lower density of origins and destinations as well as limited low stress on-street bikeway connections. Future activity is expected to remain largely recreational, however, utilitarian users will pass through Alamo. Certain County zoning districts in these segments also allow the potential for higher equestrian activity. Maintaining the rural experience and separation for pedestrians is important to local residents. Providing landscape screening along residential areas of the corridor will help to buffer potential increased activity. Improving local intersections so that trail users would have priority would improve trail convenience. There are opportunities for trail-oriented development and stronger connections to commercial activity in Segment 9. In Segment 10, access could be improved to Rancho Romero School and Hemme Station Park. 82 11 13 14 12 Del Amigo High School San Ramon Valley High School Baldwin Elementary School Greenbrook Elementary School Hemme Station ParkRancho Romero Elementary School Danville Park and Ride D a n v i l l e B l v d Fostori a W a y Fostoria WayParaiso Dr Sycamore Valley Rd El Capitan Greenbr o o k Dr Ca m i n o T a s s a j a r a Camino Ramon E l C e r r o B lvd Diab l o R dGreen Vall e y RdBollinger Canyon Rd C ro w C a n y o n RdWayne AveLove Ln San Ramon Valley BlvdHartford RdDel Amigo RdW Prospect AveCamille AveLinda Mesa Ave DANVILLE Map 16 Danville Arterial Collector Local Undercrossing Regional Trail KEY MAP Trail Corridor PROJECT TYPE IMPROVEMENTS Intersections Access CONCORD ALAMO WALNUTCREEK SANRAMON PLEASANTHILL DANVILLE Physically Constrained ROW Minimally Constrained ROW Wide ROW Existing trail/ped bridge School/Open Space/Trail Residential/Street Business/ Commercial/Retail Trail Connection On Street Bikeway Connection Existing Trail BART Connection Park and Ride Connection Connections DANVILLE PROJECTS Danville’s adjacent Main Street district provides a unique destination along the study area.

SAN RAMON PROJECTS San Ramon includes two segments with high expected user demand. San Ramon has the highest projected employment growth in the study area. Segment 14 connects to the employment and commercial area around Bishop Ranch and has a high need and great potential for access, connectivity, and intersection improvements. Segment 15 runs through and connects directly to neighborhoods, and shows high connectivity and intersection improvement needs. Opportunities include improving the connection to San Ramon Cross Valley Trail, and adding shade for a comfortable riding experience with additional access points to California High School and Montevideo Elementary School. Both segments have wide available ROW. 86 PRIORITIZATION RESULTS All of the proposed improvements described in the previous pages are important for ensuring a consistent and cohesive long-term vision for the Iron Horse Trail. Identifying priority areas can help target funding opportunities. The results of the prioritization process provide a ranking of projects based on the goal-based evaluation model found in Appendix F. Projects should be grouped together to maximize resources and provide the most comprehensive enhancements to different sections of the trail. As a high-level planning tool, overall project ranking was summarized into three regions (North, Central and South) shown in Map 18. Trail corridor improvements in areas of high expected demand will help ensure the trail is wide enough to accommodate anticipated user demand. The communities with higher expected demand also have higher levels of destinations directly adjacent to the trail, or within bicycling and walking distance and will benefit from improvements that enhance safe and convenient access to the trail. In all communities, intersection, access, and connection improvements will help connect trail users to the various points of interest along the trail. Segments in the north through Concord, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek help serve regional transportation connections to BART. These segments have a high number of community-identified needs and have a high density of destinations and projected trail demand. This area will benefit from trail corridor, intersection and access improvements. Furthermore, improving on-street bicycling and pedestrian connections to the trail will serve a great benefit in the northern segments. Segments in the southern region of the corridor through Danville and San Ramon rank highly in the goal-based evaluation criteria and have significant opportunities for trail corridor, intersection and connection improvements. This area of the corridor has a high projected trail demand and provides connections to existing and future job centers, schools and commercial centers that are directly adjacent to and served by the trail. The segments in the central region serve local recreational users and connect the high destination areas to the north and south. Trail corridor improvements through this region will help to improve local user safety and comfort while improving regional mobility. A long-term implementation plan for all of the proposed improvements will require multi-jurisdictional coordination and collaboration. Cost estimates for the proposed projects as well as implementation strategies and funding opportunities are outlined in the next chapter. 87 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Achieve the Vision?

To implement the recommended improvements for the Iron Horse Trail, the projects will first need to proceed into design, engineering, potential environmental review, and construction. Each of these project phases will have costs associated with their implementation. Once implemented, the improvements will require a long-term operations and maintenance plan to ensure the Iron Horse Trail remains a safe and comfortable experience for trail users. This chapter presents planning-level cost estimates for the proposed improvements, operations and maintenance considerations for the trail, and potential funding sources for capital improvements, operations, and maintenance. In addition, it examines the trail's existing governance structure and highlights strategies that could be used to enhance its current capacity. 90 COST ESTIMATING Planning-level cost estimates were developed for the projects. Each project (identified in Chapter 4) is defined by a unique set of typical design elements (outlined in Chapter 3). Each design element has a typical linear foot cost (trail configuration and trail amenities) or per unit cost (intersection and access point types) associated with it. The unique combination of design elements and associated unit costs are summed for each project to produce a planning-level cost estimate. Unit costs were developed by calculating the hard costs and soft costs for each design element. Hard costs include material, equipment, Item Unit Unit Cost (w/ soft costs and contingency) Assumptions Trail Corridor 14' Asphalt Trail MI $1,200,000 14'-wide asphalt trail, base materials, and shoulders 6' Asphalt Trail MI $680,000 6'-wide asphalt trail, base materials, and shoulders 6' Cantilever Pedestrian Trail MI $12,550,000 6'-wide pedestrian trail, cantilever structure and footings, and railings Undercrossings & Bridges Undercrossing Retrofit EA $320,000 Regrading of 200 LF of existing trail, incised trail at undercrossing (does not include cost of trail surface) Channel Crossing EA $650,000 14'-wide trail, 75'-long culvert structure (average dimension) Channel Crossing Retrofit EA $180,000 6'-widening of an existing short channel crossing Trail Amenities and labor.

An estimated $130 million would be required to provide for the identified trail corridor improvements, trail amenities such as lighting, wayfinding, shade trees, and landscaping, intersection improvements, and access enhancements. The average per mile cost is approximately $4.8 million, excluding Segment 2 which has a per mile cost of almost $20 million because it includes a new grade- separated crossing at Monument Boulevard. This vision of the Iron Horse Trail is a major investment for the County and can be assumed that any improvements made will be high quality and designed to a minimum 20 year lifespan. In addition, approximately $30 million of green infrastructure improvements and new and enhanced linear parks along the study area were identified. These improvements could greatly enhance user experience, recreation, water quality, and ecology, but have been separated out from the mobility and safety focused improvements. These additional costs are provided as a footnote to Table 11. A total of $160 million is estimated to achieve the Study's vision. Project costs are shown in Table 11 by segment and summed by jurisdiction, and the top-ranked projects per jurisdiction are starred for reference. 93 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Implement the Proposed Projects?

Existing O+M The existing Iron Horse Trail corridor is owned by Contra Costa and Alameda Counties and is maintained by several agencies, including the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), the two counties, and some of the other jurisdictions along the corridor. The formal agreement between Contra Costa County and EBRPD is a license agreement, which outlines the specific areas and tasks that each entity is responsible for maintaining. EBRPD is responsible for maintaining the paved 10-foot wide trail and five feet of the corridor on either side of the trail, as well as specific driveway sections, access points, and other areas along the corridor. EBRPD manages weed abatement within 5 feet of the trail and maintains the pavement, gravel shoulders, gates, signs, fences, and bollards, among other tasks. The County’s Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining the remaining areas of the corridor, except those managed by other local jurisdictions. EBRPD’s maintenance funds come from a mix of sources, including Measure WW, and revenue generated from Community Facilities Districts (CFDs). The County’s maintenance funds come from easements and licenses from private entities and utilities. An Iron Horse Corridor Management Program Advisory Committee was authorized in 1997 to assist Contra Costa County in developing a management program for the Iron Horse Corridor. The Committee typically meets four times per year to review the trail’s financial resources and discuss current projects along the corridor. 97 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Implement the Proposed Projects? COST ESTIMATE BENCHMARKING EBRPD estimates its maintenance costs for paved trails to be approximately $25,000/ mile/year. In addition to EBRPD maintenance costs, Contra Costa County typically spends an average of $115,000 annually on the Iron Horse Trail corridor for tree trimming, mowing, and spraying. The maintenance costs (per mile per year) of other comparable trails are shown in Table 13. The improvements outlined in this Study will increase these costs significantly, closer to that of the American River Parkway, and will require a new strategy for O+M. Management Structures There are several different structures that are typically used for trails and can be considered for the Iron Horse Trail. Table 14 identifies some common management structures used by trails across the United States, and lists the pros and cons associated with each type. Table 13 O+M Cost Estimate Benchmarking Cost/ mile/year Length (mi) Facility $10,600 2 Mill Valley to Corte Madera Trail Northern California $24,000 12 East Bay Greenway Northern California $29,390 <1 Central Marin Ferry Connector $7.9 mil 1.45 High Line New York City $1.13 mil 15 San Antonio River Walk San Antonio, Texas $256,500 23 American River Parkway Sacramento, CA $285,700 3.5 Katy Trail Dallas, TX 98 Table 14 Trail Management Structures Management Structure Pros/Cons A single governmental organization directly oversees management of path O+M. +Management structure used for paths managed by a single agency. -Not conducive to multi-jurisdictional coordination. A non-profit organization establishes an independent group to coordinate the various jurisdictions and run O+M. +Able to draw funding from a larger pool of sources, including private funding +More flexibility with program development, advocacy, and communications -No authority of an elected body or landowner -No dedicated funding source without assistance from local, state, or federal funding mechanisms A cooperative agreement may divide the responsibilities for O+M among multiple agencies. +Allows for agencies to manage the trail within their jurisdiction, while a non-profit group or authority oversees the project vision through planning, programming, and fundraising -Potential for inconsistent management throughout corridor A Joint Powers Authority (JPA), typically guided by a governing board, is a legal entity that allows two or more public agencies to jointly exercise common powers. +Allows for one entity to oversee a trail over multiple jurisdictions +Can pursue donations and grants by establishing a nonprofit -Cost considerations for establishing and running a new entity (admin, overhead, etc.) In a commission, governmental and non-governmental entities are part of a governing board. +Governmental and non-governmental entities are part of governing board +Stable funding source from membership fees +Can pursue donations and grants by establishing a nonprofit -Membership fees are relative to population and trail length, which may result in unequal distribution across the corridor A Special District is a public agency created to provide one or more specific services to a community. +Creates a designated funding stream +Provides local accountability as board members are elected by the districts’ voters -Funding requires voter approval 99 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Implement the Proposed Projects? A NEW MANAGEMENT APPROACH The existing management structure for the Iron Horse Trail has been successful in managing the trail as it exists today, which involves a narrow paved path and limited amenities. However, a new strategy will be needed to ensure there are adequate funds available to implement and maintain the proposed projects outlined in Chapter 4. One consideration would be to formalize the existing management structure, in which different entities are responsible for maintaining different sections of the trail, by creating a Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The JPA would be a new separate legal entity with a shared vision and responsibility for managing and maintaining the trail. The creation of a JPA could formalize the existing partnership between Contra Costa County, EBRPD, and other entities along the trail, enabling them to more effectively share resources and coordinate O+M tasks. It would also offer an opportunity to bring additional partners into the governance strategy for the trail. Each member agency of the JPA could allocate a portion of their funding to support the administrative and operating expenses of the new entity. Potential partners include Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, EBRPD, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), and the cities and other local jurisdictions along the corridor (see Table 15). Additional funding resources for O+M could come through state and federal funding sources as well as private sources. Local bond measures may also provide a potential future funding source for the trail. While bond measures such as Measure WW have been successful in funding parks and recreation projects in Contra Costa County in the past, they can be challenging to implement because they must have a majority approval to get on the ballot, and once there, typically require a two-thirds approval vote by county voters. Because the trail is transitioning from a recreational resource to an active mobility corridor focused on transportation, new transportation-related funding may become available. Additionally, trail-oriented development could provide funding opportunities through new taxes, fees, and revenue generated through programming and other events. Finally, a nonprofit group such as a "Friends of the Iron Horse Trail" could be established to help provide funding for O+M through private donations. These could include foundation, corporate, and individual donations. This nonprofit could help develop the vision of the trail through programming and events, coordinate volunteers for maintenance and restoration tasks, and increase revenue through fundraising activities. The nonprofit organization could also pursue state and federal grants.

Areas that have higher demand, such as those near San Ramon or Walnut Creek, may require higher levels of maintenance than those areas that have lower demand. Table 16 provides examples of typical O+M tasks for trails along with their suggested frequencies. ROUTINE Routine maintenance refers to the day-to- day regimen of litter pick-up, trash and debris removal, weed and dust control, path sweeping, vegetation trimming, and other regularly scheduled activities. Some routine maintenance may be conducted on a seasonal basis. REMEDIAL Remedial maintenance refers to repairing, replacing, or restoring major components that have been destroyed, damaged, or significantly deteriorated from normal usage and old age. Some items (“minor repairs”) may occur on a five to ten-year cycle, such as repainting or replacing signage. Major reconstruction items will occur over a longer period or after an event such as a flood. Examples of major reconstruction include repaving a path surface or replacing railings and other site elements. TRAIL DETOURS In the event of a temporary trail closure due to flooding or maintenance work, a formal detour route should be provided to allow trail users to safely navigate around the impasse. 101 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Implement the Proposed Projects? O+M COST CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE IRON HORSE TRAIL By implementing the projects outlined earlier in this Study, the O+M costs for the corridor are expected to rise. Enhanced lighting and amenities would likely result in an additional need for routine maintenance along the corridor. Additionally, enhanced or new access points may require new security measures, which are not included in the trail's current O+M costs. Specialty paving at mixing zones, signage and pavement markings, and the presence of a wider trail would also require additional maintenance. A full-time trail coordinator could help ensure that all O+M needs are addressed in a timely manner, which would increase the trail's existing administrative and personnel costs. O+M AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES There are several potential funding sources that can be considered for the Iron Horse Regional Trail capital improvements and O+M costs. These potential sources are outlined in the following pages. Local and private funding sources can potentially be used for both routine and remedial maintenance, while grant programs are mainly relevant for major capital improvement costs. Grant programs typically cannot be used for maintenance. LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING/TAXES/FEES Local and regional funding opportunities may take several forms, from government budget allocation to local fees and taxes. Specific opportunities may include: Allocation in Government Budget General Fund Local Sales Tax Measures Supporting Countywide Mobility • Measure WW: Measure WW provides funding to expand regional parks and trails in Contra Costa County, as well as to preserve local open space and recreation areas. Utility Lease Revenue Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) • EIFDs were approved by the California Legislature in 2015 to allow communities to establish specific districts in which they can collect local property tax revenues to fund local infrastructure projects. REGIONAL SOURCES Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) Grant Programs • BAAQMD funds support bicycle facility and other greenhouse gas reduction projects. One Bay Area Grants • Grant program administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission that provides federal funds for regional transportation priorities. Eligible projects include local street and road maintenance, streetscape enhancements, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements, among others. STATE SOURCES State-administered programs include: 102 Active Transportation Program (ATP) • The program consolidates previous existing state and federal transportation programs, including the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program into a single program for improving active transportation facilities in the state of California. Eligible projects include improvements to existing bikeways and walkways which improve mobility, access, or safety for non-motorized users. Recreational Trails and Greenways Grant Program • The California Natural Resources Agency provides funding for non-motorized infrastructure development and improvement projects that promote access to parks, waterways, and outdoor recreational pursuits. Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 68) • The Per Capita Program, Statewide Park Program (SPP), and Recreational Infrastructure Revenue Enhancement (RIRE) Program provide funding for projects that create or improve parks and recreation infrastructure. FEDERAL SOURCES Grants are one potential source of funding, typically available on a one time per cycle basis. Specific federal grant programs may include: Recreational Trails Program (RTP) • Annual federal funding program for recreational trails and trails-related projects. Eligible applicants include cities, counties, public agencies, and nonprofit organizations. The program is administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) • HSIP is a data-driven program aimed at reducing traffic fatalities and injuries on all public roads. Eligible projects include crossing treatments, traffic calming projects, and other bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements. Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA) • A National Park Service program that supports community-led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects. PRIVATE FUNDING Private funding may come in the form of trail-oriented development, advertising 103 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Implement the Proposed Projects? opportunities, individual donations, crowdfunding, fundraising programming and events, and corporate sponsorships. Private Donations • A nonprofit could solicit individual and corporate private donations for the trail through various fundraising activities. Trail-Oriented Development • Revenue generated by new development along the trail could be used for trail enhancements, operations, and maintenance. Events and Programming • The trail may present opportunities for programming and events at some of its access points. Revenue generated from ticket sales, or fees collected from vendors such as pop-up stores and food trucks, can potentially be used for trail O+M. Advertising Revenue • Advertising opportunities may include advertisements placed on informational and wayfinding kiosks, benches and shade structures, and charging stations for e-bicycles, scooters, or other personal mobility devices. Revenue generated from these advertisements could provide funding for trail O+M. IN-KIND Adopt-a-Trail • Corporate and Community Adopt-a-Trail programs could potentially provide the trail with resources for needed maintenance work, such as keeping it free of litter and other debris. Local businesses can adopt a section of the trail, providing them with a sense of ownership and the opportunity to prominently display their names. Although this is not a comprehensive solution to trail maintenance, it serves as a way to enhance central operations and provide committed partners with a way to give back to their communities. 104 Table 17 Funding Sources Source Design & Engineering ROW Acquisition/ Construction O+M Local & Regional Sources General Fund/Local Government Allocation Local Bond Measures Utility Lease Revenue EIFDs One Bay Area Grants BAAQMD Grants State Sources Active Transportation Program (ATP) Recreational Trails and Greenways Grant Program Proposition 68 Federal Sources Recreational Trails Program Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA) Private Funding Private Donations Trail-Oriented Development Advertising Revenue In-Kind Adopt-a-Trail 105 IRON HORSE TRAIL Active Transportation Corridor Study How to Implement the Proposed Projects? NEXT STEPS This Study envisions a long-term improvement strategy for the Iron Horse Trail corridor. Although most of the proposed improvement projects will take time to implement, there are some near term steps that can be taken to move the vision for the Iron Horse Trail forward. The most important near term step is to seek capital improvement funds for priority projects. The priority projects identified in this Study can be selected for early implementation in a number of ways. They can either be bundled as part of a larger regional effort that sets forth improvements for the entire corridor, or they can be included in targeted efforts that prioritize specific segments or intersections of the corridor. Additionally, the existing governance structure for the Iron Horse Trail should be evaluated to determine if it will be able to adequately manage the enhanced corridor or if the trail would benefit from a new strategy. This Study identifies typical governance structures and funding mechanisms to consider, which can be used to help identify an appropriate structure for the trail. Finally, targeted efforts can be made to promote new mobility options within the corridor. An e-scooter pilot program could be implemented to introduce the devices to the corridor before any major policy changes are made. An additional SAV study could be conducted to develop goals for a pilot program, further evaluate corridor conditions and needs, and determine next steps for implementation. This SAV study would need to involve significant community outreach in order to understand the needs, desires, and concerns of the community. Long term actions for the corridor include implementing the proposed projects, developing regional policy recommendations regarding micromobility devices, and establishing a SAV pilot program.

The study will eval- uate how investment in the corridor, its crossings with the street network, and connections to the trail can increase the share of trips being made using active modes to get to work, school, shopping, and other utilitarian purposes. This memorandum presents existing conditions for the trail. The Iron Horse Trail (IHT) offers tremendous potential as a transportation corridor through the heart of Contra Costa County. The full corridor is within 1.5 miles of over 340,000 residents (151,000 commuters) and only a few blocks from both the Pleasant Hill and Dublin/Pleasanton BART stations. The IHT directly connects workers to dense employment areas like Bishop Ranch in San Ramon (600 companies and growing) and Contra Costa Centre Transit Village in Walnut Creek (over 6,000 employees). The trail is generally a 10-foot wide paved path, requiring pedestrians and bicyclists to share the same space. The trail’s popularity at peak times has led some bicycle commuters to seek alter- nate routes. For others, the lack of low-stress on-street connections serves as an impediment to using the Iron Horse Trail for commuting and other utilitarian trips. The IHT Corridor Study presents an opportunity to reimagine the existing trail into an active transportation mobility corridor for the future. With limited roadway space and high costs to adding new freeway or similar auto-oriented infrastructure, finding ways to create new mobility options that include active transportation, low power electric vehicles and micromobility devic- es, and shared autonomous vehicles is critical to improving future sustainability of the transpor- tation system. This memorandum summarizes the data reviewed, key trends, issues, and constraints, with a focus on the physical corridor. February 27, 2019 Appendix A 4 5 IRON HORSE TRAIL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR STUDY EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing trail corridor follows the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way established in 1891 and abandoned in 1978, and currently spans 32 miles, passing through the communities of Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville, and San Ramon, as well as Dublin and Pleasanton (Alameda County). The scope of the Study includes the entire length (approximately 22 miles) of the Iron Horse Trail within Contra Costa County (State Route 4 to County Line). While the Iron Horse Regional Trail begins in Concord near Highway 4, it should be distinguished from the Iron Horse Corridor (approximately 18.5 miles) that begins in Concord at Mayette Avenue. The Iron Horse Trail corridor is owned by Contra Costa County, though several easements for underground utilities lie within the corridor. These utilities are a major constraint to potential upgrades to the corridor. Primary utility easements include: • A 10 to 36-foot Contra Costa Sanitary District easement traverses the majority of the corridor • A 10-foot gas pipeline easement, granted to SFPP/Kinder-Morgan, runs along the majority of the corridor • Intermittent PG&E easements for underground vault access or overhead power lines are present throughout the corridor • There are sporadic storm drain easements perpendicular to the trail and East Bay Municipal Utilities District water lines within the corridor. CORRIDOR HISTORY AND OWNERSHIP 6 IRON HORSE TRAIL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR STUDY EXISTING CONDITIONS TYPICAL CORRIDOR CONDITIONS UNCONSTRAINED CORRIDOR A portion of the corridor faces few constraints, with 50 to 100 feet of generally flat right of way available. Relevant sections of this type are found near Walnut Creek and Alamo. 2.9 miles The Iron Horse Trail corridor typically ranges between 50’-100’ in width as it follows the old Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way. The trail itself is 10 feet wide and is typically an as- phalt surface. Portions of the corridor include informal unpaved shoulders and connections to surrounding land uses. A few locations include separate formal pedestrian paths that are either compacted natural surface or asphalt paths ranging from 3 to 5 feet in width. The topography along the trail corridor is generally flat as it follows the old railroad grade. Three common corridor conditions are described immediately below. Descriptions of unique conditions found in only select locations are included in the following pages. The map on page 6 summarizes these conditions. FORMER RAIL BED Sections of the trail run along a raised rail bed with moderate drainage ditches along por- tions of the corridor. These conditions are found in most of San Ramon and Danville. 7.8 miles TRAIL ON BERM The third common trail condition is on a raised berm. This is primarily found in the northern section of the trail near Concord where the trail parallels Walnut Creek. 3.6 miles LANDSCAPE OPPOTUNITY parks connections green infrastructure green infrastructure oppotunity ridgewood to hillgrade trail through park contra costa center to mayhew way 2 mile .86 miles 100’ 10’8’5’ 50-100’ 10’ PHYSICAL CONSTRAINT topographic water structures channelized creek mt. diablo blvd to ygnacio valley trail on berm walnut creek north of monument blvd former rail bed w linda mesa to danville blvd adjacent topography hillgrade to danville blvd .35 miles 3.6 miles .8 miles 7.8 miles 30’50’ - 100’ 10’10’ 100’ 10’ 10’ 15’ - 20’ PHYSICAL CONSTRAINT topographic water structures channelized creek mt. diablo blvd to ygnacio valley trail on berm walnut creek north of monument blvd former rail bed w linda mesa to danville blvd adjacent topography hillgrade to danville blvd .35 miles 3.6 miles .8 miles 7.8 miles 30’50’ - 100’ 10’10’ 100’ 10’ 10’ 15’ - 20’ 7 IRON HORSE TRAIL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR STUDY EXISTING CONDITIONS UNIQUE CORRIDOR CONDITIONS ADJACENT COMMERCIAL For 2.3 miles in parts of Danville and San Ramon, commercial businesses are directly adjacent to the trail. In Downtown Danville, the trail narrows to approximately 30 feet in width. DOWNTOWN DANVILLE Several areas of the corridor face constraints from adjacent commercial development, limited right of way, a channelized creek, or topography. There are also a few examples of the trail traversing through parks. The following examples illustrate these unique corridor conditions. LIMITED RIGHT-OF-WAY For just under a mile in south Walnut Creek, South Broadway and the adjacent soundwall narrow the trail corridor width to approximately 20 feet. WALNUT CREEK - SOUTH BROADWAY CORRIDOR CHANNELIZED CREEK The trail corridor is approximately 25 feet wide adjacent to the channelized creek between Newell Avenue and Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek (0.7 miles).

This Study is primarily focused on formal/public access points, though the relationship between other pub- lic and private land to the trail will also be addressed. There are 60 formal access points along the corridor that connect the trail to residential neighborhoods, retail centers, downtowns, and parks. The map on page 11 illustrates these access points.

Small staging areas with and without parking are sporadic along the corridor. Shade structures with seating are found adjacent to the trail within San Ramon, and there is enhanced greenway and linear park space north of the Pleasant Hill BART station. The San Ramon Transit Center and Hemme Park have restrooms and water open to the public and are directly adjacent to the trail, and there are seven restrooms at public park facilities less than a quarter mile from the trail (three in San Ramon, two in Danville, and two in Walnut Creek). Trailhead Staging Area IRON HORSE TRAIL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR STUDY TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM #2 CORRIDOR ANALYSIS PROJECT BACKGROUND The Iron Horse Trail Active Transportation Corridor Study is an in depth evaluation of the Iron Horse Trail as an active transportation corridor. The study will evaluate how investment in the corridor, its crossings with the street network, and connections to the trail can increase the share of trips being made using active modes to get to work, school, shopping, and other utili- tarian purposes. This memorandum describes how the corridor is used today, focusing on how it provides access to workplaces, schools, shopping, and other key destinations. This memo addresses the follow- ing questions: • What are the demographics of the communities along the Iron Horse Trail and how are they changing? • What active transportation networks connect to the trail today? • What locations are accessible from the trail by foot, bicycle, and other active modes? • Who uses the Iron Horse Trail today and how heavily is it used? • What safety issues exist along the trail or on connections to the trail? • How well connected to the trail are each of the communities along it? This study presents an opportunity to re-imagine the existing trail into an active transportation mobility corridor for the future. With limited roadway space and high costs to add new freeway or other auto-oriented infrastructure, finding ways to create new mobility options that include active transportation, low power electric vehicles, and shared autonomous vehicles is critical to improve future sustainability of the transportation system. February 27, 2019 Appendix B 17 18 IRON HORSE TRAIL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR STUDY CORRIDOR ANALYSIS The Iron Horse Trail offers tremendous potential as a transportation corridor through the heart of Contra Costa County. Within three miles of the Iron Horse Trail there are over 425,000 residents (200,000 commuters). This section reviews the demographics near the trail. COMMUTING AND MODE CHOICE Most walk and bike commute trips occur in the northern end of the trail, near Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill and Concord (Map 1). Overall, however, 70 percent of commuters in the Iron Horse Trail corridor drive alone to work. This may be due, in part, to the relative wealth of the communities along the Iron Horse Trail. People who live near the trail tend to have access to multiple vehicles, with only 2% of all commuters without access to a car, and 80% of commuters having access to 2 or more vehicles. Many of these motor-vehicle commute trips are relatively short, with 39% taking less than 20 minutes. The largest concentrations of households with zero-vehicle (Map 2) and of relatively low- er median household incomes (Map 3) are in the same census tracts with lower average drive alone to work mode share. WHERE PEOPLE WORK AND LIVE Using data from the US Census Bureau Local Employment Household Dynamics (LEHD) Origin-Destination Employment Statistics, Map 4 illustrates the spatial densities where people live and work. Within the Iron Horse Trail study area, jobs are concentrated in Wal- nut Creek and San Ramon, with a smaller cluster in Concord. However, workers’ homes tend to be more dispersed along the trail between Concord, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek. Notably, many of the live and work hot spots are near the trail. For workers who both live and work in the study area, the Iron Horse Trail may provide a unique opportunity for long-distance car-free commuting. POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT GROWTH Within the study area, population and employment growth are expected along the trail, near BART stations, and at the Concord Naval Weapons Station redevelopment site (Map 5). The significant growth in population near the trail further suggests the need to provide improved active transportation access in this corridor.

For the purpos- es of analyzing how well the Iron Horse Trail supports walking and bicycling today and could support active modes in the future, a level of traffic stress (LTS) evaluation was conducted. LTS is a metric that relates the type and experience of different users to the type of bicycle facility provided (see graphic below). LTS 1 facilities (like trails) are com- fortable for all users, while LTS 4 facilities (arterial roads with no bicycle accommodation) are comfortable for only the most fearless bicyclists. For the purpose of this project, each roadway segment was coded for LTS (Map 6). In addition, intersection-level LTS barriers were also identified, specifically capturing the following situations: • Street type crossed - arterials, collectors, and local roads • Intersection control - no control, 2-way stop, all way stop, signalized, flashing beacon Notably, there are many significant barriers on streets surrounding the Iron Horse Trail and on the roads the trail and many local streets cross. While Iron Horse Trail, other trails and local streets provide opportunities for comfortable walking and bicycling, most of these are isolated from one another.

To help set a baseline for access to various types of destinations, the following maps capture accessibility to select destinations using only low stress (LTS 1 and 2) routes, including the Iron Horse Trail. In addition, rather than us- ing actual travel distance, these maps use a measure of perceived distance, building on academic research that indicates that people walking and bicycling on high volume and high speed streets perceive their travel to take longer than on more comfortable and low stress streets. To achieve an estimate of perceived distance, the actual distance traveled is multiplied by a weight that is derived from the LTS score of a segment (see table at the right). Low stress access to select destinations include: • Transit — the Pleasant Hill and Dublin/Pleasanton BART stations directly connect to the trail and other BART sta- tions could be connected in the future. Several bus transit routes also have stops that may provide connections to the Iron Horse Trail. Map 7 identifies low stress access to BART stations in and near the corridor. • Schools — 17 schools are immediately adjacent to the trail and many others are served by the trail (Map 8). The Iron Horse Trail provides connec- tivity for 24 public schools that have catchment areas that overlap the trail in a signifi- cant way. Detailed information about school accessibility is provided on page 15. • Parks — 8 parks are within 1,000 feet of the trail and an additional 9 parks are within a 1/2 mile of the trail (Map 9). • Employment centers — areas like Bishop Ranch in San Ramon (600 companies and growing) and Contra Costa Centre Transit Village in Walnut Creek (over 6,000 employ- ees) are well served by the trail as are many smaller employment areas in the region. • Commercial areas — the trail crosses through downtown San Ramon, Danville, and unincorporated Alamo. The Contra Costa Canal Trail provides a connection to down- town Pleasant Hill and connections could be made to downtown Concord and Wal- nut Creek. Several shopping centers lie directly adjacent to or within a short distance of the trail, provide access to services, retail business, and other similar opportunities. Map 10 identifies low stress access to these shopping areas near the trail. Note that the maps show access to destinations regardless of whether the Iron Horse Trail is used for part of the journey. Future analysis will be compared to this basis to identify how improvements to the trail can improve accessibility and connectivity for res- idents and visitors wishing to travel using active transportation modes. The analysis also only considers formal trail access points, so access may look poor in areas near the trail that have informal connections.

Each map uses the current catchment areas for these schools, recog- nizing that intraschool and intradistrict transfers often occur and that school catchment areas change over time. Elementary School Accessibility. There are eight elementary schools located direct- ly adjacent to the Iron Horse Trail and another five schools with catchment areas that substantially overlap the trail. Elementary schools have generally smaller enrollment areas and the color ramp used in Map 11 is different from the others to reflect the differ- ent break points for the map. The Iron Horse Trail generally supports accessibility for the schools immediately adjacent, with the exception of Murwood Elementary in Danville and Montair Elementary in San Ramon, for which walking access is constrained by other, high-stress streets. Middle School Accessibility. Two middle schools are directly adjacent to the trail and another four have catchment areas that directly overlap the trail. While adjacent to the trail (Map 12). Iron Horse Middle School in San Ramon currently has a catchment area that largely extends beyond the reach of the trail. For Walnut Creek Intermediate, by con- trast, the trail provides excellent connectivity to the surrounding student population. For two middle schools – Oak Grove in Concord and Stone Valley in Alamo – the trail does not substantially connect students to school, though improved connections to the trail could provide some additional benefits. High School Accessibility. There are three high schools (California, San Ramo Valley, and Las Lomas) that are immediately adjacent to the trail and two others (Ygnacio Valley and Mt. Diablo) that have catchment areas that overlap the trail. High schools generally have the largest catchment areas, but also the most mobile attendees, making trail- based connectivity a real possibility for many students. Map 13 shows how the trail expands the accessibility for students by providing additional low stress network.

The variety of destinations contributes to its multiple uses and the length and beauty of many segments of the trail attracts recreational riders. To support planning for the future of the Iron Horse Trail, we consider how it is used from several perspectives, including actual numbers of users, users on crossing roads, and potential demand for the trail (i.e., people who could use the trail to access their destinations). CURRENT USE OF THE TRAIL The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) took counts at four locations along the trail collected by in the Fall of 2017. Map 14 presents EBRPD data for average weekday (Tues- day, Wednesday, Thursday) and average weekend (Saturday, Sunday) counts. The high- est weekday use of the trail was near Treat Boulevard (nearly 900 users) and the lowest at Crow Canyon (239 users). Weekend counts were also higher near Walnut Creek (over 730 average weekend users at both Treat Boulevard and Arroyo Way). In the southern seg- ments of the trail, average weekend counts were 340-360. These four counts do not tell the entire story, but help capture some of the current variance in use. Variation in travel by hour and location for weekday trips are provided in the figure below. Counts at Treat Boulevard show typical AM and PM peaks, while Love Lane – ad- jacent to the San Ramon Valley High School – shows travel more typical of school sched- ules. Arroyo Way and Crow Canyon show more balanced trips during the day, suggesting use for a mix of trips for work, school, errands, and recreation.

The Contra Costa Transpor- tation Authority (CCTA) also provides information about pedestrians and bicyclists traveling on nearby streets (Map 15). Available counts from CCTA were clustered in the northern cities of the study area and are shown separately for bicyclists and pedestrians. Pedestrian counts were more substantial than bicycle counts and were concentrated, as expected, around BART stations and near downtowns. Bicycle counts were higher near the Iron Horse Trail. Only peak period counts are available on street. POTENTIAL USE OF THE TRAIL While counts tell part of the story of the use of the Iron Horse Trail, a critical question for this study is how much demand there is to use the trail. Using data from the CCTA Travel Demand Model, growth in potential bicycle and pedestrian trips was identified for each zone by calculating the number of short distance trips - those that end within the same zone or other zones within a half mile buffer of the origin for both 2015 and 2040. Map 16 presents the change from 2015 to 2040 in these short distance trips. Zones along the trail between Walnut Creek and Concord are expected to have even more demand for short, active transportation-length trips than today. These are the same areas with low car ownership rates, high walk/bike commute rates, and low medi- an household incomes (see Maps 1 through 3). In addition to examining changes in the total number of trips, short trips were isolated that travel in the same direction and corridor as the Iron Horse Trail. Map 17 shows the 5 mile and under trips that travel roughly parallel to the trail. There are generally higher numbers of short distance trips traveling parallel to the trail in the northern segments. Interestingly, in Walnut Creek, more trips appear to cross the trail than travel along it, indicating the trail may be used for a smaller portion of these trips. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 00:0001:0002:0003:0004:0005:0006:0007:0008:0009:0010:0011:0012:0013:0014:0015:0016:0017:0018:0019:0020:0021:0022:0023:00Average Hourly Counts -Weekend Days Tr eat Bo ulevard Arroyo Way Love Lane Crow Canyon CONCORD PLEASANT HILL WALNUT CREEK North Concord BART Concord BART Lafayette BART 012 MILES Iron Horse Trail BART Station Map produced January 2019.

The Iron Horse Trail can provide an alternative to nearby high stress routes, many of which experience significant collision rates for people walking and biking. Map 18 and 19 present the bicycle and pedestrian collisions and fatalities, respectively, along the Iron Horse Trail. The maps also identify the location of high stress routes as a means to identify how observed safety relates to perceived safety and comfort. Notable hot spots of collisions include Walnut Creek on the West side of I-680 and downtown Con- cord. In the 5 most recent years with data available (2013-2017), there were 203 bicycle and pedestrian collisions on local streets within a quarter mile of the trail and 761 within 2 miles. There were 14 bicycle and pedestrian fatalities within 2 miles of the trail. The table at the right identifies the number of bicy- cle and pedestrian collisions by city and distance from the trail for the five cities and unincorporated areas. Identifying the need for safer crossings and access routes to the Iron Horse Trail is a key goal of this project. There were 43 injuries of bicyclists or pedestrians within 100 feet of the trail. Locations with 3 or more bicycle or pedestrian injuries are shown in the table at right, including: • At Treat Boulevard at Jones Road (11 injuries), a separated crossing was completed prior to the collection of these data, suggesting ongoing safe- ty concerns for individuals accessing the trail. • Monument Boulevard at Mohr Drive (9 injuries) is a particularly challeng- ing trail crossing, offset from the trail and requiring tight turns for bicy- clists. • South Broadway and Newell Avenue (4 injuries) requires crossing two legs of a busy, wide intersection. • Hemme Avenue (3 injuries) is a trail crossing of a local road • At Sycamore Valley Road and Camino Ramon (3 injuries), trail users must travel slightly away from the trail to cross a wide road. • At Willow Pass Road (3 injuries), the trail has a separated undercrossing, but also direct access to Willow Pass Road directly adjacent to I-680 on and off ramps. • Ygnacio Valley Road (3 injuries) also has a separated overcrossing for the trail along with access ramps, indicating potential access concerns.

Combining information from the prior sections, this section provides a baseline of information about trail connectivity and describes the next steps in this analysis. Map 20 summarizes connectivity to existing Iron Horse Trail access points considering the comfort of existing routes. Representative distances have been applied to each mode to help describe how users across the study area might access the trail. Less than half a mile to the trail is identified as walking distance, 0.5 to 3 miles is considered biking distance, and 3 - 10 miles is considered e-biking distance. As above, distances are weighted by the level of traffic stress of the streets and paths used to access the trail. Using this analysis, only 35% of people who live in the study area are currently within comfortable walking and biking distance of the trail. In many cases, major arterials and I-680 provide significant barriers for those attempting to access the trail. Looking forward, the next phase of the study will start to address the question of how many active transportation trips are possible with additional investment. This analysis will consider: • The comfort and convenience of the Iron Horse Trail • The comfort, convenience, and safety of Iron Horse Trail crossings. • The comfort, convenience, and safety of streets and paths that provide access to the Iron Horse Trail Using Map 20 as a baseline, the next step will identify how the combination of invest- ments in the trail, crossings, and access routes changes who has access and by what mode. It will also further explore the opportunity for alternate modes – e-bikes, low speed electric vehicles, and others – to improve access to the trail for more residents and more trip types.

As identified in previous memos, most walk and bike trips occur in the northern end of the trail, near Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Concord. Seventy percent of commuters along the Iron Horse Trail drive alone to work. Eighty percent of commuters have access to two or more cars. SAVs and other micromobility options could provide an alternative mode to alleviate worsening congestion patterns during peak periods as the population of residents and commuters grows in the cities along the Iron Horse Trail corridor. This memo investigates whether low-impact motorized modes such as SAVs, e-bikes, and e-scooters can be accommodated along the corridor, and provides a high-level assessment of the considerations of introducing these technology-forward options to the trail. AB 1025 In 1978, Southern Pacific Railroad received federal permission to abandon the rail line that once ran along the Iron Horse Trail’s current right-of-way. The County of Contra Costa obtained $10.6 million in grant funding to launch a feasibility study and pay for the partial acquisition of the San Ramon Branch Corridor’s right-of-way. In 1986, the County entered into a license agreement with East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) to operate a 10-foot-wide paved multiuse trail within the right-of-way called the Iron Horse Regional Trail. The grant funding required the County to maintain a 34-foot-wide segment of the corridor for future mass transit use. On October 12, 2019, the Governor approved Assembly Bill 1025, relieving the County of this obligation. With this new law in effect, the County has more flexibility in planning improvements in the Iron Horse Trail corridor. Regional and National Context Existing SAV Pilot Programs in Contra Costa Two SAV pilot programs in the Contra Costa region have been tested to date. The first of these programs was a two- year study (2017-2019) by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) of low-speed, electric and autonomous EZ10 shuttles manufactured by EasyMile. The CCTA’s SAV Program operated two generations of the EZ10 shuttles, and Phase 1 of the study piloted the SAVs at the GoMentum Station, an Autonomous Vehicle Proving Grounds in Appendix C Technical Memo #3: Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) and Emerging Technologies Evaluation Summary Contra Costa County | 47 Concord. Phase 2 of the study operated the vehicles at the Bishop Ranch Business Park in San Ramon. CCTA continues to test at Bishop Ranch and the Concord Naval Weapons Station. CCTA was also recently awarded federal grant funds to implement an Automated Driving System Demonstration Program (ADS) at the Naval Weapons Station, in Rossmoor, Martinez, and along the I-680 corridor. The second pilot program will be deployed by the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Agency (LAVTA) to study the viability of SAVs as a first and last mile solution to connect local residents to the Dublin/Pleasanton Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. To date, SAVs in Contra Costa County have not transported general members of the public. Only pre-selected or volunteer passengers with signed waivers 1 have been able to board a SAV per the testing and demonstration agreement with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Beyond Contra Costa, there are a number of shuttle programs that are in the pilot phase in cities such as San Jose and Sacramento. With the continued testing of SAVs by the CCTA and LAVTA in cities that are connected by the Iron Horse Trail, there is an opportunity to collaborate and integrate these programs with the improvement recommendations developed in this Iron Horse Trail Study. Electric Bicycles and Scooters Electric bicycles or e-bikes are a relatively new but increasingly important mode of sustainable transportation. E- bikes benefit people who are interested in bicycling but may be limited because of physical fitness, age, disability, or because their trips are too far or the terrain too difficult to be completed by regular bicycle. There are three key types of e-bikes: • Class 1: E-bikes with a speed limit of 20 mph that must be pedaled to operate • Class 2: E-bikes with a speed limit of 20 mph that can be operated by using a throttle • Class 3: E-bikes with a speed limit of 28 mph that must be pedaled to operate As of March 3, 2019, Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are allowed on select trails managed by EBRPD, including the Iron Horse Trail. Electric scooters are also widely used on roads and trails throughout California, providing an efficient commute mode or first-last mile connection to and from transit stations. Maximum speeds typically range from 15-20 mph and maximum travel distances typically range from 15-40 miles. Shared Micromobility In the U.S., the three types of bike share systems commonly used are docked, dockless, and lock-to systems. E- scooter share systems are typically dockless systems. The costs to implement these systems vary by type (see Procurement + Cost). E-bike share or scooter share systems provide users with on-demand access to e-bikes and e-scooters for one-way trips, and could present an efficient and sustainable commute option for users of the Iron Horse Trail. These systems could be implemented at shared mobility hubs, including at transit centers, BART stations, and Park and Rides. 1 Signed waivers were required as part of the EZ10 vehicle testing study at Bishop Ranch. If the OEM is approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to join one of their pilot programs, the general public will be eligible to ride these SAVs if they are not charged a fee. Iron Horse Active Transportation Corridor Study 48 | Contra Costa County Currently, Bishop Ranch operates a bikesharing service entitled BRiteBikes. These bikes are allowed to be used on the Iron Horse Trail but are available to Bishop Ranch tenants only. At the northern end of the study area, Walnut Creek implemented a year-long bikeshare pilot program from January 2018 - February 2019. The City of Walnut Creek is also preparing to reboot its shared mobility program in 2020. Legislative and Institutional Requirements National and State Policies and Regulations SAVs The Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulate autonomous vehicles on a case by case basis, and most of the regulation has been left to state governments. At the national level, if a vehicle does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) then a waiver granting permission to test and/or transport passengers must be obtained. An additional waiver must be acquired if the vehicle is to be imported to the United States. Vehicles must acquire an additional waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) if the vehicle is not considered to be a low-speed vehicle (weighing less than 3,000 lbs. and operating below a speed of 25 mph). At the state level, the manufacturer must obtain a manufacturer’s testing permit from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as well as the Experimental Testing Permit from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The California DMV also requires self-insurance by the testing manufacturer in the amount of $5 million.2 To date, SAVs are not operating for commercial use and members of the public can only voluntarily support the testing and piloting of SAVs. A select number of manufacturers are participating in the California Public Utility Commission’s (CPUC) Drivered AV Passenger Service and Driverless AV Passenger Service pilot programs. Each manufacturer who has been approved for these pilot programs would be issued at least two Transportation Charter Party-Carrier authorities—a separate certificate or permit for each AV pilot program.3 Manufacturers that have obtained CPUC pilot program certification may include the general public in their testing. It is important to note that many pilot programs have been paused or are operating within strict parameters as approved by NHTSA and the regulatory bodies of the states in which they operate. The manufacturers are required to be in direct communication with both NHTSA as well as the California DMV with updates on demonstration changes or intentions to expand demonstrations. Micromobility Scooter share systems first appeared in California in 2017. In the U.S., at least 17 states passed laws related to micromobility in 2019.4 In California, two bills aimed at regulating new micromobility devices are being considered: one that would give cities power to regulate e-scooter operations, including banning them if they conflict with CEQA, and another that would require micromobility providers to be permitted by the cities they operate in. Existing Legislation At the local level, Assembly Bill 1025 recommends the investigation of new mobility options that can serve the over 1 million users of the Iron Horse Trail corridor, updating prior studies that did not recommend the use of motorized 2 https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/a6ea01e0-072f-4f93-aa6c- e12b844443cc/DriverlessAV_Adopted_Regulatory_Text.pdf?MOD=AJPERES 3 https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/uploadedFiles/CPUCWebsite/Content/Licensing/autovehicle/AV%20Application%20Instructions.pdf 4 https://micromobilitycoalition.org/news/ Technical Memo #3: Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) and Emerging Technologies Evaluation Summary Contra Costa County | 49 modes along the trail’s right-of-way.5 Additional local legislation includes AB 1592, which although expired, recommended that CCTA be authorized to conduct testing of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Level 4 vehicles at the GoMentum Station.6 AB 1444 authorizes the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority to conduct a SAV demonstration project to test autonomous vehicles.7 Assembly Bills 1112 and 1286 both aim to give cities power in regulating micromobility options. Both bills have been put on hold until informational hearings are held. Technical Requirements SAV Specifications The design of shared autonomous vehicles varies, with capacity ranging from six to twenty passengers. The maximum number of passengers a driverless vehicle can accommodate is 20 passengers (14 seated positions and 6 standing positions, depending on passenger needs and configuration). SAV models vary on the inside depending on the number of seats and their arrangement. An optimal model has not yet been identified by the market or by regulators. SAVs are designed to the traits of the SAE Level 4, do not have a steering wheel, pedal, or brake, and do not require additional infrastructure, operating autonomously following a virtual line mapped and loaded in the software of the vehicle. When batteries are fully charged, the vehicles can operate up to 14 hours. Almost all SAV designs are considered low-speed and lightweight vehicles both by national EPA standards as well as local CARB standards. Dimensions of the SAV vary slightly, but an example model’s dimensions are as follows: L13’ x W6’ x H9. SAVs may operate at a top speed of 25 mph, but typically operate at 12-15 mph during the pilot phases. SAV Requirements Currently, the proposed SAV requirements consist of series of systems and sub-systems: • SAV (Vehicle, hardware and software); • Parking, covered storage and charging station for SAVs; o Charging requirements may vary across each SAV manufacturer. The EZ10 vehicle requires 220V 32amp. • Fleet automation platform and apps; • Mobility on Demand (MOD) application; • Transit agency’s Computational Aided Dispatch (CAD)/Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) systems; and 5 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1025 6 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1592 7 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1444 May Mobility- 6-person vehicle.

When operating within an existing roadway, the SAV may not require additional infrastructure to operate safely along a fixed route. However, some infrastructure improvements that will need to be evaluated for the Iron Horse Trail include but are not limited to: • Trail widening • Installation of fiber • Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) • Intersection/signal improvements • Striping and Signage If the SAV is operating on public roads, additional traffic infrastructure is needed. This includes Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) which would require the deployment of tens of thousands of Roadside Units (RSUs) embedded or attached to roadway infrastructure to enable an effective network along local roads. If available, LTE and 5G can be used for these RSU functions thereby eliminating the need for highway authorities to install and maintain RSUs. In addition to the increased vehicular safety and traffic efficiencies, 5G-based V2X technologies would provide significant capital and operational cost savings. The city transportation system can gather real-time data, analyze the traffic pattern and apply deterministic traffic congestion algorithms for better road management and improved infrastructure planning. The sensor technology used for SAVs require clearly visible pavement markings and signs when operating on trails and roadways which may require additional improvements along the Iron Horse Trail. While a human driver may be able to interpret faded or absent pavement markings and continue within the designated lane, a SAV may need to more clearly “view” where to position itself on the pavement as guided by its mix of cameras and other sensors like radar and lidar. Furthermore, with respect to the designated route selected, additional signage and stop locations may be needed to institute safe traffic conditions for SAV passengers, micromobility users, bicyclists, and pedestrians. SAV Testing and Operation SAVs can currently only be implemented through regulated pilot programs. A successful SAV pilot program is designed by both private and public partners and combines the necessary perspectives to create an innovative real-world mobility solution for various and nuanced segments of the corridor. The pilot program should have a defined goal—such as connecting employees to transit stops or elderly residents to services—that can help define the route and attract users to the program. Numerous stakeholders must be involved in the process and given the opportunity to share their input and provide feedback on the proposed routes. Potential partners include: • Public Sector o Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) o Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) o Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) o Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) o California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Technical Memo #3: Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) and Emerging Technologies Evaluation Summary Contra Costa County | 51 o County Connection o Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) o 511 Contra Costa o City agencies and local county representatives o School and parent associations o Local law enforcement from each of the nine cities • Private Sector o SAV OEM o Sunset Development (Bishop Ranch) o Chosen SAV operator The Operational Design Domain (ODD) may include 2-4 proposed test routes to pilot the program and monitor its operations. The ODD must be approved by the California DMV and NHTSA for the period of 1 year. Procurement + Cost A well-defined Request for Proposals (RFP) that outlines the role, service responsibilities, and communication of a vendor(s) along with a cost estimate for infrastructure improvements, shuttle(s) operations, reporting, and media for the duration of the contract period, is critical to the success of the procurement and demonstration process. A summary of cost estimates for operating a SAV program is included in the table below. Also included are estimated costs for operating two new mobility technologies: e-bikes and e-scooters.

Technical Memo #3: Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) and Emerging Technologies Evaluation Summary Contra Costa County | 53 During the procurement process, it is critical to include any anticipated permits in the procurement documents to help any potential vendor set expectations early. It is also important to define all infrastructure requirements and impacts so there is an expectation and awareness of impacts that might affect the deployment schedule. All details and expectations regarding data aggregation, sharing, and reporting should be clearly defined in the proposal by the project team to ensure the procurement documents have the appropriate information. Stakeholder Coordination A SAV pilot program will involve coordination work with local jurisdictions, residents, community groups, and law enforcement to provide the public with adequate knowledge of the pilot program prior to initiation. It is important to identify all potential risks and mitigation processes prior to initiating the program. One such example would be to create a law enforcement and emergency response interaction plan for the corridor. Establishing a working group structure is recommended to keep partners engaged and apprised of project developments, as well as to provide a forum with which to discuss critical decisions. Additionally, it is important to take residents’ feedback into account. The operation of SAVs may evoke contention from residents and community groups whose homes reside near the trail. This may be due to increased fast travel modes on the trail, perceived potential safety issues, increased noise pollution, or additional and new types of maintenance activity. Communication channels such as a dedicated website page to highlight project updates and provide a forum for community participation may increase project support and stakeholder buy-in. Geometric and Right-of-Way Constraints SAV shuttles will not be able to operate on segments of the trail that are width-constrained or poorly maintained. Improved trail infrastructure to accommodate SAVs will impact zoning requirements, especially in the realm of site design, and curbside pickup/drop-off zones will impact adjacent streets. There are significant physical constraints for SAVs to operate end to end on the Iron Horse Trail. Some trail corridors are constrained to only 25 feet to 30 feet. With consideration of safety for all modes, creating a dedicated SAV travel lane or SAV two-way lane in these areas may limit the capacity to accommodate existing modes of travel (e.g., bicyclists, equestrians, and pedestrians). Furthermore, limited rights-of-way at road crossings create pinch points for SAVs, pedestrians, and people riding bicycles and would need significant capital improvements to be reconfigured in order to accommodate all proposed modes of transportation. Due to physical constraints, consideration of SAVs on the Iron Horse Trail may be more applicable along targeted areas of the trail with wider rights-of-way, higher expected demand, and connection to major regional destinations such as BART stations and Bishop Ranch. Additional Considerations Accessible Transportation According to a study conducted for the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), roughly one-third of people with disabilities who never leave their home do not leave because they do not have any means of transportation available to them. Most of those with disabilities who do travel, do so in private vehicles. The most significant travel barriers for people with disabilities is related to barriers and obstacles in the built pedestrian environment. The opportunity to arrive at priority destinations, such as BART stations via SAVs could result in a mode-shift among people with disabilities. Iron Horse Active Transportation Corridor Study 54 | Contra Costa County First/Last Mile Solution The SAV is a potential solution to providing first/last mile connections to other fixed-route services such as transit. Research shows that by solving for first/last mile challenges, travelers will be more inclined to use traditional public transit, especially fixed-route rail and bus service for regional trips due to relative convenience versus the cost of enduring traffic and congestion. Along the Iron Horse Trail, SAVs could potentially group trips as a feeder to fixed-route travel on regional transit such as Pleasant Hill/CCC and Dublin/Pleasanton BART. Micromobility options such as e-bikes and e-scooters can also provide first/last mile connections to transit. People using e-bikes and e-scooters could use the same lanes as those designated for other fast user groups such as adult bicyclists, providing more mobility options within the existing right-of-way. Reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Congestion along I-680 could be reduced if SAVs provide viable connections to transit. A mode shift away from personal vehicles to active or SAV connections to transit would reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT). This reduction would result in associated positive environmental and health benefits (i.e. reduction in GHG emissions, personal transportation cost savings, etc.). Safety NHTSA estimates that connected and autonomous vehicles such as the SAV could eliminate or mitigate 80% of crashes where the driver is fully attentive (i.e., not impaired, distracted, or drowsy). Furthermore, The Iron Horse Trail corridor features a number of roadway crossings, and by reducing congestion and vehicles on the road, these crossings may experience safer conditions and fewer crashes. Limitations on SAV Multimodal Performance The SAV has been tested to successfully navigate multimodal separated use conditions where other modes are traveling parallel to the vehicle. However, if the SAV does not operate on a linear route and is required to turn left or right in a multi-modal condition, the vehicle may not perform optimally. At this time, SAVs are undergoing testing to aggregate more statistically significant data to determine capability of successful left and right turns. If the SAV vehicle only operates on a linear path along the Iron Horse Trail, without turns, it would be able to transport travelers from one destination to the next. The performance of the SAV is conditional based on the number of perceived obstacles on the trail. The SAV slows down when it registers a potential obstacle and comes to an abrupt stop, especially when a large object enters into its trajectory. Since SAVs have not been rigorously tested in compact shared-use multimodal environments, it is unknown at this time how the SAV will operate on the Iron Horse Trail in shared-use conditions. A dedicated route for the SAV would provide a more optimal condition for the current technology. A potential negative outcome could be unpredictable delays. A SAV could stop for harmless nuances in the environment where the SAV incorrectly perceives a barrier and stops. Seeing as the vehicle has not been tested in a natural environment that include plants, trail debris, and wildlife, it is not yet determined what the vehicle would perceive to be an obstacle. If the vehicle is very sensitive to the environment, it would not be a viable mode of travel especially for people traveling to education or employment centers within specific time constraints. Integration with Existing Trail Users Technical Memo #3: Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) and Emerging Technologies Evaluation Summary Contra Costa County | 55 Integration of the SAV with existing mobility modes along the trail may prove challenging as present-day users of the trail have complained about the challenges of interactions between pedestrians and bicyclists on the trail. The addition of a larger motorized vehicle may produce further cultural differences between co-existing modes of mobility. Preliminary Recommendations + Next Steps Given existing technology constraints, potential SAV routes along the Iron Horse Trail were evaluated based on available right-of-way, presence of physical constraints, existing and potential user demand, and connections to key destinations such as transit and employment centers. Locations for shared mobility hubs that could store these vehicles and provide charging stations for both SAVs and micromobility devices were also considered. Two sections of the trail were identified as potential locations for a future SAV pilot program: Monument Boulevard to Ygnacio Valley Road in the northern section of the corridor and San Ramon Valley Boulevard to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station in the south. These sections of the trail have available ROW to accommodate SAVs, offer connections to employment hubs, and have the ability to serve as links to transit, helping to solve first-last mile challenges along the corridor. These are preliminary considerations only. Further study will be required to refine possible SAV routes and determine the most efficient use of resources in implementing a SAV pilot program for the corridor. Additionally, infrastructure improvements, including intersection improvements, would be required to implement a SAV pilot program for the Iron Horse Trail. These preliminary considerations are based on an understanding of SAV technology as it exists today. This technology continues to advance rapidly. Any future study of SAV systems on the Iron Horse Trail will take any future advancements and capabilities into consideration.

FISCAL IMPACT: The impact of these staffing changes will offset the $567,000 revenue reduction from the City of Walnut Creek. (100% Library Fund) BACKGROUND: The Library offers a base of 35 hours per week for city libraries within the County. Cities may opt to pay for additional staffing hours. Several cities have agreements in place to pay for additional hours. However, due to the global pandemic, many of them have experienced significant financial constraints and as a result are unable to pay for the additional hours in Fiscal Year 2020/21. On June 12, 2020, the City of Walnut Creek expressed their intent to eliminate funding for library extra hours at Walnut Creek and Ygnacio Valley libraries for Fiscal Year 2020/21. Due to the reduced funding, the Library has had to make adjustments to their operating hours, which in turn has resulted in staffing APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 07/14/2020 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District IV Supervisor Federal D.

An offer to meet and confer regarding the impact of the schedule changes and position eliminations was sent to labor organizations on June 25, 2020. Attachment A is the Library operating hours as approved by Resolution No 2020/134 and the proposed operating hours to be effective August 1, 2020. Attachment B is a list of ten (10) positions to be deleted. Nine (9) of the positions are filled and were previously funded by the City of Walnut Creek, and one (1) position is vacant and unfunded. On June 16, 2020, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2020/146, which added, modified and deleted positions in the Library effective July 1, 2020. Due to an administrative error, one vacant position (#6072) to be deleted as of June 30, 2020 was inadvertently left off the attachment of positions to be deleted. The scheduling changes, meet and confer, and layoff process included this position. The filled positions are to be deleted as of close of business on July 31, 2020. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If unapproved, the Library fund will be negatively impacted by staffing expenses that are not within budget. CLERK'S ADDENDUM Speakers: No Name Given.

FISCAL IMPACT: Due to a $2.6 million reduction in the FY 2020/21 State allocation to the Department of Child Support Services and other reduced revenue, the department must reduce costs by $2.6 million. After reducing eligible non-personnel costs, the department has $1.87 million in cuts remaining, which will be achieved through the elimination of sixteen positions. BACKGROUND: Due to the global pandemic and the loss of revenue throughout the country, the Department of Child of Support Services received an amended allocation letter from the State of California reducing the 2020-2021 fiscal year budget by $2.6 million from the initial allocation letter. The department reduced costs from services and supplies; however, in order to meet the budget, personnel costs had to be reduced as well. Due to the large reduction, eliminating positions listed in Attachment A is necessary.

ATTESTED: July 14, 2020 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: D. 6 To:Board of Supervisors From:Melinda Self, Child Support Services Director Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Department of Child Support Services Staffing Impacts of Revenue Reduction BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) On May 14, 2020, the Governor announced his revisions to the administration’s January Proposed FY 2020-21 State Budget. As a result of the global health crisis that triggered a global financial crisis, the May Revise included a series of changes to the proposed budget to fund the most essential public health, safety and education. Many of the cuts proposed would be taken prior to a possible federal aid bill for states and local governments. Included in the May Revise to the Proposed 2020-21 State Budget is an assumption that the funding of local child support agencies will revert to 2018 funding levels. This proposal would result in statewide savings of $38.2 million in 2020-21. Contra Costa County’s share of that state funding is $2.25 million. This May revise proposal would not take effect on July 1 if the federal government provides sufficient funding to restore them. An offer to meet and confer regarding the impact of the position reductions was sent to our labor organizations on June 3, 2020. On June 3, 2020, the Assembly and Senate came to an agreement on a State Budget for 2020-21. Following the June 3 agreement, legislative leaders began discussions with the Governor. A significant feature of the Legislative Branch budget agreement is to make any cuts on October 1 if sufficient federal assistance is not received by September 1. However, the Floor Report from the Assembly Budget Committee notes that the Legislative Branch budget agreement rejects the reversion of local child support agency funding to 2018 levels and maintains funding as proposed in the Governor’s January Proposed 2020-21 Budget regardless of future federal assistance to state and local governments. The Governor signed a budget that will reduce the allocation for the Contra Costa County Department of Child Support Services by $2.6 million. Therefore, the recommendation is to make these cuts effective as of July 31, 2020. The Human Resources Department has activated the Tactical Employment Team Program (TETP) to mitigate the negative impact that anticipated layoffs may have. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved for implementation on July 1, 2020, the delay will require the department to eliminate more positions to achieve the required savings over a shorter period of time.

ATTESTED: July 14, 2020 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: , Deputy cc: D. 7 To:Board of Supervisors From:John Kopchik, Director, Conservation & Development Department Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Amendment to the Land Development Fee Schedule FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed fees are necessary to enable the Department to effectively recover the County's estimated reasonable costs for reviewing and processing short-term rental permit applications. BACKGROUND: On June 2, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2020-12 (STR Ordinance) to regulate short-term rental (STR) uses within the County. The STR Ordinance requires an applicant for an STR permit to pay the applicable fee as established by the Board. The proposed amendment to the Land Development Fee Schedule would establish new application fees for ministerial STR permits, annual STR permit renewals, and discretionary STR permits in the following amounts: Permit Name Fee Short-term Rental Permit (Ministerial) $350 Short-term Rental Permit (Annual Renewal) $150 Short-term Renal Permit (Discretionary/LUP) $2,000 minimum deposit; time and materials Determination of Fee Amounts The County may charge fees for land development services, such as those services provided by the Department to review and process permit applications. The fees charged by the County must not be more than the estimated reasonable cost that the County incurs to provide the services for which the fees are charged. The Department has conducted an analysis of the estimated cost incurred by the County for Department services related reviewing and processing STR permit applications. Short-term Rental Permit (Ministerial) An application for a ministerial STR permit will be reviewed ministerially for compliance with the requirements and regulations contained in the STR Ordinance. Staff anticipates that the review process will be in a checklist format. However, staff will need to prepare a property-specific permit, and will need to prepare and send notice of the issued permit to neighbors pursuant to the STR Ordinance. Current ministerial permit application fees for similar services charged by the Department range between $200 and $500. Staff estimates that reviewing and processing a ministerial STR permit application to take 2 hours of staff time at an estimated cost of $386. Therefore, staff recommends a ministerial STR permit application fee of $350. Short-term Rental Permit (Annual Renewal) The STR Ordinance requires that ministerial STR permits be renewed annually. An application for a ministerial STR permit renewal will be reviewed ministerially for compliance with the requirements and regulations contained in the STR Ordinance. Staff anticipates that the review process will require verification that the required Transient Occupancy Taxes have been paid and a review of any code enforcement complaints or actions with respect to the subject property and STR use. No new noticing will be required. Current permit renewal application fees for similar services charge by the Department range between $250 and $400. Staff estimates that reviewing and processing a ministerial STR permit renewal application to take 1 hour of staff time at an estimated cost of $193. Therefore, staff recommends a ministerial STR permit renewal application fee of $150. Short-term Rental Permit (Discretionary Short-term Rental Permit) An application for a discretionary STR permit will be reviewed under the administrative decision procedure specified in Article 26-2.21 of the County Ordinance Code. This review process includes providing notice to neighbors and a public hearing if requested. Processing discretionary permit applications require a greater level of review and the preparation of findings and conditions of approval. Additionally, discretionary permits are subject to appeal, which may require multiple staff reports and public hearings. Accordingly, the Department generally charges for similar services on a time and materials basis with an initial deposit. Current discretionary permit application fees for similar services charged on a time and materials basis by the Department require an initial deposit that ranges between $2,000 and $2,500. Staff estimates that reviewing and processing a discretionary STR permit application to take 15 hours of staff time at an estimated cost of $2,895. Therefore, staff recommends a discretionary STR permit application fee charged on a time and materials basis with an initial deposit of $2,000. An applicant will be required to pay any owed and due fee amount in excess of the initial deposit prior to issuance of the permit. If the fee charged on a time and materials basis is less than the initial deposit, the Department will refund the remaining funds to the applicant. Conclusion. The current Land Development Fee Schedule does not include fees for reviewing and processing STR permit applications. The proposed fees do not exceed, and are necessary to enable the Department to effectively recover, the County's estimated reasonable costs for providing this service. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the recommended actions are not approved, no fees will be established to recover the County’s costs associated with reviewing and processing short-term rental permit applications. CLERK'S ADDENDUM ADOPTED all recommendations; and AMENDED Resolution No. 2020/170 to change the annual renewal of permit from $150 to $200.

PermitName Short-term Rental Permit (Ministerial) Short-term Rental Permit (Annual Renewal) Fee s350 $200 Fee Analysis of Amendments to the Land Development Fee Schedule June 11, 2020 The Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) proposes amendments to the Land Development Fee Schedule that add three new fees as shown on the table below. Additions to Land Development Fee Schedule Fee Schedule Code Permit Name Fee S-046F Short-Term Rental Permit (ministerial) $350 fee. S-046G Short-Term Rental Permit (annual renewal) $150 fee . S-046H Short-Term Rental Permit (discretionary) $2,000 minimum deposit. Time and materials. The new fees are necessary to offset costs associated with the processing of three new permits associated with short-term rental (STR) uses that were established pursuant to Ordinance No. 2020-12 (STR Ordinance), which was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on June 2, 2020. The new permits include: Short-Term Rental Permit (ministerial). An application for a ministerial STR permit will be reviewed ministerially for compliance with the requirements and regulations contained in the STR Ordinance. Staff anticipates that the review process will be in a checklist format. However, staff will need to prepare a property-specific permit, and will need to prepare and send notice of the issued permit to neighbors pursuant to the STR Ordinance. Current ministerial permit application fees for similar services charged by the Department range between $200 and $500. Staff estimates that reviewing and processing a ministerial STR permit application to take 2 hours of staff time at an estimated cost of $386. Therefore, staff recommends a ministerial STR permit application fee of $350.

The STR Ordinance requires that ministerial STR permits be renewed annually. An application for an annual STR permit renewal will be reviewed ministerially for compliance with the requirements and regulations contained in the STR Ordinance. Staff anticipates that the review process will require verification that the required Transient Occupancy Taxes have been paid and a review of any code enforcement complaints or actions with respect to the subject property and STR use. No new noticing will be required. Current permit renewal application fees for similar services charge by the Department range between $250 and $400. Staff estimates that reviewing and processing an annual STR permit renewal application to take 1 hour of staff time at an estimated cost of $193. Therefore, staff recommends an annual STR permit renewal application fee of $150. Comparable DCD Renewal Related Applications Fee Agricultural Preserve Non-Renewal Notice $300 Gun Ordinance Annual License $250 Deemed Approved Annual Fee $400 Short-Term Rental Permit - (discretionary). An application for a discretionary STR permit will be reviewed under the administrative decision procedure specified in Article 26 -2.21 of the County Ordinance Code. This review process includes providing notice to neighbors and a public hearing if requested. Processing discretionary permit applications require a greater level of review and the preparation of findings and conditions of approval. Additionally, discretionary permits are subject to appeal which may require multiple staff reports and public hearings. Accordingly, the Department generally charges for similar services on a time and materials basis with an initial deposit. Current discretionary permit application fees for similar services charged on a time and materials basis by the Department require an initial deposit that ranges between $2,000 and $2,500. Staff estimates that reviewing and processing a discretionary STR permit application to take 15 hours of staff time at an estimated cost of $2,895. Therefore, staff recommends a discretionary STR permit application fee charged on a time and materials basis with an initial deposit of $2,000. An applicant will be required to pay any owed and due fee amount in excess of the initial deposit prior to issuance of the permit. If the fee charged on a time and materials basis is less than the initial deposit, the Department will refund the remaining funds to the applicant.

Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:HEARING to consider adopting an ordinance authorizing the sale of the former Pleasant Hill Library site to Davidon Homes. FISCAL IMPACT: Proceeds from the sale of the Property will be applied first to the costs associated with the sale, including the remediation and demolition of the existing improvements. Ten percent (10%) of the net proceeds will be paid to the Mount Diablo Unified School District (School District) in accordance with the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement dated July 1, 2018. The balance of the net sale proceeds will be deposited in the County general fund. BACKGROUND: Conveyance of Property The County owns two parcels on Oak Park Boulevard in Pleasant Hill. The property located at 1750 Oak Park Boulevard and 75 Santa Barbara Road (the Property) consists of approximately five acres and is the site of the former Pleasant Hill Library. The property located at 1700 Oak Park Boulevard (the 10-Acre Property) is undeveloped and consists of approximately ten acres, eight of which are owned by the County and two of which are owned by the School District. In December 2006, the County and the School District entered into a joint exercise of powers agreement (JPA), under which the parties agreed to work together to sell the 10-Acre Property. The JPA was amended and restated in July 2018. Under the terms of the JPA, 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of the Property will be paid to the School District. On July 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors authorized the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the County, the City of Pleasant Hill and the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District. After entering into the MOU, the County, the City and the Park District worked together to maximize the public benefit of the Property and the 10-Acre Property. Specifically, the agencies explored the development of the two sites to enable (i) the City to acquire a portion of the 10-Acre Property to use as the site of a new City-owned public library, (ii) the Park District to acquire a portion of the 10-Acre Property to use for recreation and park purposes, and (iii) the County to obtain land use approvals for the development of a single-family residential subdivision on the Property. In accordance with the MOU, the City acted as the Lead Agency in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The EIR evaluated the Oak Park Specific Plan project (the Project), which includes all three of the agencies’ projects. On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved the Project and made related CEQA findings. On May 11, 2020, the City approved entitlements for the development of 34 single-family homes on the Property. Today’s action is a request for the Board to approve the conveyance of the Property to Davidon Homes. Selection of Davidon Homes On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/81, authorizing the issuance of a request for proposals (RFP) for the sale of Property. On May 12, 2020, the Board of Supervisors received 11 proposals for the purchase of the Property and authorized the Public Works Director, or designee, to evaluate the proposals, select proposal(s) for negotiations, and negotiate with the selected proposer(s) terms and conditions of a sale of the Property. Adoption of Ordinance In accordance with Government Code section 25515.2(a), the Board must adopt Ordinance No. 2020-19 to authorize the sale of the Property to Davidon Homes. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The County will not be able to proceed with the sale of the Property.

E. County staff has evaluated the 11 proposals based on five criteria – revenue, experience building a similar product, experience working with public agencies, comfort with building the plans as designed, and thoroughness of the due diligence associated with the proposal.

Livingston, Sheriff, Anna Roth, Director, Health Services, Kathy Gallagher, Director, Employment & Human Services D. 9 To:Board of Supervisors From:Sharon L. Anderson, County Counsel Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Urgency ordinance continuing a temporary prohibition on evictions and continuing a residential rent increase moratorium. BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) > This Board order summarizes the new provisions of the urgency ordinance. It also indicates areas where direction is needed before the Board considers adopting the ordinance, including dates when various ordinance provisions expire. As noted below, the attached ordinance does not specify the dates when the County’s temporary prohibition on residential, commercial, no fault, third party occupant, or COVID-19 related evictions, or similar matters would end. This is a decision point for the Board. The question before the Board is whether to extend these protections beyond July 15, 2020, and if so, to what date. Under the Governor's Executive Order N-37-20, landlords throughout California were prohibited from evicting residential tenants for nonpayment for rent when the inability to pay is due to COVID-19. These statewide protections expired May 31, 2020. Under Executive Order N-71-20, local jurisdictions are authorized to suspend the evictions of residential and commercial tenants for the non-payment of rent if the non-payment is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic through September 30, 2020. Prohibitions on residential and commercial evictions (Section 3(a)). An owner of residential property or small business commercial property is prohibited from terminating a tenancy for failure to pay rent if the tenant demonstrates that the failure to pay rent is directly related to a loss of income or out-of-pocket medical expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The tenant must provide documentation showing loss of income or out-of-pocket medical expenses Under Ordinance No. 2020-16, these temporary prohibitions last through July 15, 2020. No-fault evictions (Section 3(b)). An owner of residential property or commercial property is prohibited from terminating a residential tenancy for any “no-fault” reason. Under Ordinance No. 2020-16, these temporary prohibitions last through July 15, 2020. Immediate family members (Section 3(c)). An owner of residential real property is prohibited from terminating a tenancy on the basis that a tenant allowed an unauthorized occupant to live in the dwelling unit, if the occupant is the tenant’s immediate family member living in the dwelling unit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ordinance defines “immediate family” as a person’s spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents. Under Ordinance No. 2020-16, these temporary prohibitions last through July 15, 2020. Exceptions (Section 3(d)). The ordinance allows owners to terminate a tenancy for three reasons: (1) the termination is necessary to protect the owner’s health and safety or any other tenant’s health and safety; (2) the termination is necessary where the owner or a member of the owner’s immediate family intends to occupy the residential real property; and (3) the termination is to remove the residential unit from the rental market when permitted by the Ellis Act. The Ellis Act, Government Code section 7060 et seq., preempts local governments from prohibiting landlords from removing residential units from the rental market. The Act places strict requirements on how and when these removals can occur. Late fees (Section 5). An owner may not charge or collect a late fee for unpaid rent due from a tenant who demonstrated substantial loss of income or substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses. Ordinance No. 2020-16 prohibits an owner from charging late fees through November 15, 2020, on rent that was due between March 16, 2020, and May 31, 2020. The question before the Board is whether to extend the November 15, 2020, date. Grace period (Section 6(a)). Neither Ordinance No. 2020-16 nor this ordinance completely excuse the payment of rent. Their purpose is to give tenants a grace period to pay rent after the date it would otherwise be due, provided that the tenant follows the procedures specified in the ordinance. Under Ordinance No. 2020-16, rent that would have been paid between March 16, 2020, and July 15, 2020, must be paid by November 15, 2020. As part of an action to adopt the attached ordinance, the Board should consider the duration of any proposed grace period for the payment of rent that would otherwise be due on or after July 15, 2020. Repayment by large businesses (Section 6(b)). The attached ordinance requires a commercial tenant that does not qualify as a small business or a non-profit organization to pay past due rent if the tenant did not pay rent in April 2020 or May 2020 under Ordinance No. 2020-14. The deadline for these businesses to pay past due rent is September 30, 2020. Moratorium on residential rent increases (Section 7). An owner may not increase rent on a residential real property. Under Ordinance No. 2020-16, the moratorium on rent increases lasts through July 15, 2020. As part of an action to adopt the attached ordinance, the Board should consider whether to continue the moratorium and if so, the duration of the moratorium. A residential property that is exempt from the rent limits imposed by the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (Civil Code section 1947.12) is exempt from this residential rent moratorium. The rent limits under the Tenant Protection Act do not apply to residences built within the last 15 years; single family homes, townhouses, and condominiums, unless owned by an investment trust, corporation, or LLC; owner-occupied duplexes; hotels; residential care facilities for adults or the elderly; school dormitories; and group housing. Under the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (Civil Code section 1954.50 et seq.), local governments may not regulate rents on rental units built after 1995, single-family homes, individually owned condominiums and townhouses. Residential properties that are exempt from rent control under Costa-Hawkins are also exempt from the residential rent moratorium imposed by this ordinance. The residential rent moratorium also does not apply to a residential property where one or more scheduled rent increases occur pursuant to a written rental agreement that was entered into before March 16, 2020. The residential rent moratorium also does not apply when a unit becomes vacant and the owner sets the initial rent for a new tenancy, in accordance with Civil Code section 1954.53. There is no moratorium on commercial rent increases. Local governments are preempted from controlling rents on commercial real property. (Civil Code section 1954.25 et seq.) Ordinance term (Section 13). If the Board elects to adopt this urgency ordinance, the Board should specify when the ordinance expires. Applicability (Section 14). The regulations in the attached ordinance apply to cities within Contra Costa County and unincorporated Contra Costa County. Government Code section 8634 authorizes the Board of Supervisors to “promulgate countywide orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property” during a local emergency. The California Attorney General has opined that when a county has declared a local emergency within its jurisdictional boundaries in an area that includes both unincorporated and incorporated territory, the county may adopt emergency rules and includes both unincorporated and incorporated territory, the county may adopt emergency rules and regulations pursuant to Government Code section 8634 that will be effective in both unincorporated and incorporated areas. (62 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 701 (1979).) Under the attached ordinance, if the governing body of a city enacts an ordinance or adopts a regulation that governs the subject matter of this ordinance, that city ordinance or regulation will supersede the attached ordinance within that jurisdiction. Pending Legislation. Eviction protections are the subject of at least eight pending bills. A description of the various bills is attached. One bill, Senate Bill 1410, would authorize a landlord and tenant to enter into a “tenant-owner COVID-19 eviction relief agreement” that would allow the tenant to defer unpaid rent and prohibit the owner from serving a notice terminating the tenancy or filing an eviction lawsuit for the unpaid rent during the statewide COVID-19 emergency. The state of California would pay the unpaid rent to the landlord in the form of a tax credit. The tenant would be required to repay the unpaid rent to the state in annual equal installment payments over a 10-year period beginning in 2024. The state would not charge interest as long as payments are timely made. A tenant that cannot make installment payments beginning in 2024 could be eligible for a reduction or cancellation of the payment at that time. Another bill, Assembly Bill 1436, provides that a tenant cannot be evicted due to unpaid rent accrued during the statewide COVID-19 emergency or 90 days following the emergency. The bill does not alter the obligation to pay rent after the emergency period and allows for normal evictions for future missed rent. The bill gives tenants 15 months from the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration to arrange for voluntary repayment before unpaid rent is considered in default. After that period, landlords may use normal civil remedies for pursuing consumer debt. The bill also allows tenants and landlords to make voluntary written repayment agreements, as long as the agreements do not result in the renter owing more than the amount of unpaid rent due during the emergency period, and requires landlords to account for any assistance they have received if they enter into an agreement or pursue debt collection. Also attached to the Board order is a memorandum from the Director of Employment and Human Services that provides experiential information about residential evictions and rent increases in the County since April 21, when the initial ordinance took effect.

Findings. A. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus that causes the disease named coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), a public health emergency of international concern. B. On January 31, 2020, as the result of confirmed cases of COVID-19, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency nationwide. C. On March 3, 2020, Contra Costa Health Services announced the first case of local transmission of the virus causing COVID-19 in Contra Costa County. D. On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed the existence of a state of emergency in California under the California Emergency Services Act, Gov. Code § 8550 et seq.. As of July 1, 2020, there were more than 2.7 million cases of COVID-19 in the United States, resulting in more than 128,000 deaths, with 3,248 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Contra Costa County, resulting in 77 deaths. E. On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors found that due to the introduction of COVID-19 in the County, conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property had arisen, commencing on March 3, 2020. Based on these conditions, pursuant to Government Code section 8630, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2020/92, proclaiming the existence of a local emergency throughout the County. F. The legislative bodies of a number of cities in Contra Costa County have also adopted local emergency proclamations due to COVID-19 pursuant to Government Code section 8630. G. On March 16, 2020, the County Health Officer issued an order requiring County residents to shelter at their places of residence in order to slow community transmission of COVID-19, subject to exceptions for the provision and receipt of essential services while complying with social distancing requirements to the maximum extent possible. The County Health Officer extended the order on March 31, 2020, and on April 29, 2020. H. On May 18, 2020, the County Health Officer extended the shelter-in-place order, continuing restrictions on many activity, travel, and business functions but allowing a limited number of additional businesses to resume operating. On June 2, June 5, and June 16, 2020, the County Health Officer issued orders allowing additional businesses to resume operating. ORDINANCE NO. 2020-20 Page 2 I. On March 16, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-28-20, which authorized local jurisdictions to suspend the evictions of residential and commercial tenants for the non-payment of rent if the non-payment is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. J. On June 30, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-71-20, which extends the authority of local jurisdictions to suspend the evictions of residential and commercial tenants for the non-payment of rent if the non-payment is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic through September 30, 2020. K. On March 27, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-37-20, which prohibited landlords throughout California from evicting residential tenants for nonpayment of rent when the inability to pay is due to COVID-19, and the tenant has provided notice to the landlord and has documentation showing the nonpayment is because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The statewide protections in Executive Order N- 37-20 expired May 31, 2020. L. On April 6, 2020, the Judicial Council of California adopted temporary emergency rules, effectively suspending action on or entry of default in eviction cases, and suspending judicial foreclosures, except where necessary to protect public health and safety, through 90 days after the Governor declares that the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is lifted, or until amended or repealed by the Judicial Council. M. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health orders have resulted in the closure of many local small businesses, and have imposed extreme restrictions on other local small businesses. N. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health orders are expected to result in a loss of income to a widespread portion of the local population that depend on wages or business income to pay rent and result in medical expenses for certain Contra Costa County residents. O. Contra Costa County and the cities within the County are also experiencing a housing affordability crisis, which is driving homelessness and displacement of residents. P. Many County residents are experiencing or will experience losses of income as a result of the local emergency and shelter-in-place orders, hindering their ability to pay rent and leaving them vulnerable to eviction. Q. Many of the County’s renters are rent-burdened, paying over 30 percent of their income on rent, and some renters are severely rent-burdened, paying over 50 percent of their income on rent, which leaves less money for families to spend on other necessities like food, healthcare, transportation, and education. R. Without local protection, eviction notices, including notices for failure to pay rent, are likely to surge as residents and businesses are unable to earn income due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, or are forced to pay medical expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. ORDINANCE NO. 2020-20 Page 3 S. Housing displacement due to rent increases and evictions occurring during the local emergency would hinder individuals from complying with state and local directives to shelter at home, and would lead to increased spread of COVID-19, overburdening the healthcare delivery system and potentially resulting in greater loss of life. T. On April 21, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2020-14, an urgency ordinance temporarily prohibiting evictions of residential and commercial real property tenants in the County impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and establishing a moratorium on certain rent increases. U. On May 26, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2020-16, an urgency ordinance continuing and modifying a temporary prohibition on evictions of tenants in Contra Costa County impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and continuing and modifying a residential rent increase moratorium. V. There is an urgent need for the County to continue a temporary prohibition on certain evictions and continue a temporary moratorium on certain residential rent increases to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents in light of the emergency declared regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

ORDINANCE NO. 2020-20 Page 5 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section limits an owner’s ability to terminate a tenancy for any of the following reasons: (1) The termination is necessary to protect the owner’s health or safety or any other tenant’s health or safety. (2) The termination is necessary where the owner or a member of the owner’s immediate family intends to occupy the residential real property. (3) The termination is to remove the residential real property from the rental market, but only when authorized by Government Code section 7060 et seq. Section 4. Notices of Termination of Tenancy. (a) An owner’s failure to comply with this ordinance shall render any notice of termination of tenancy, where the termination would be in violation of this ordinance, void.

(a) The provisions of this ordinance may be asserted as an affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer action.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs pursuant to order of the court. Section 9. Supersedes. This ordinance supersedes Ordinance No. 2020-16. This ordinance applies to eviction notices, and unlawful detainer actions based on those notices, served or filed on or after July 14, 2020, except to the extent a tenant has surrendered possession of its premises, or an unlawful detainer lawsuit was finally adjudicated before March 16, 2020.

ATTACHMENTS Contra Costa County - County Administrator Recruitment Brochure County Administrator Contra Costa County, California Photo by Kristin McCleeryContra Costa County Contra Costa County was incorporated in 1850 as one of the original 27 counties of the State of California and is now one of the largest counties in the Nation by population. It is one of nine counties in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area and covers approximately 733 square miles extending from the northeastern shore of San Francisco Bay easterly about 50 miles to San Joaquin County. Contra Costa County has one of the fastest growing work forces among Bay Area counties, with growth in its employment base being driven primarily by the need to provide services to an increasing local population and the presence of relatively high-wage skilled jobs. The County has one of the State’s most heterogeneous populations - rich in ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic diversity. With a current population in excess of 1.15 million, Contra Costa County is the ninth most populous county in California. The City of Martinez is the County seat and the location of the County administrative offices. Contra Costa County includes varied urban, suburban, rural, industrial, agricultural and port areas and contains 19 incorporated cities. A large part of the county is served by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), and along with the modernization of Highway 24 and the addition of a fourth Caldecott Tunnel bore these improvements all served to reinforce the demographic and economic trends of the County. The County’s employment economy is as diverse as its population. Major industries include health care, petroleum refining, telecommunications, financial and retail services, steel manufacturing, prefabricated metals, chemicals, electronic equipment, paper products and food processing. Most of the County’s heavy manufacturing is located along the County’s northern boundary fronting the Suisun Bay and San Pablo Bay leading to San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean. With its strategic location as Capital of the Northern California Mega-Region™ and easy access to suppliers and customers, Contra Costa County is a business destination full of opportunity. The County is home to a wide variety of companies and organizations, reflecting the character of the diverse communities of the region. From urban neighborhoods to rural farms, Contra Costa County is replete with world-class companies, as top brands thrive here. A multitude of transportation connections supports this business environment with rail, ports, major freeways (one hour by car to San Jose and Sacramento, 30 minutes to San Francisco), and the Buchanan Field and Byron airports. A new effort to better take advantage of economic development opportunities is the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative ™. This initiative is a collaboration between the County and seven partner cities to enhance the vitality of the County along its northern edge, a 55-mile stretch of shoreline parallel to the Delta and Highway 4, with a cluster- based economic development strategy and a goal to make more production jobs accessible and desirable to today’s students and tomorrow’s workforce. In addition, the County enjoys robust business and economic development advancing its business climate and quality of life including the extensive City Center Bishop Ranch Office Park and suburban mall and the County’s partnership with the Tri- Valley region. Prestigious public and private academic institutions, including St. Mary’s College of California, California State University East Bay, and one of California’s best community college systems, Contra Costa Community College District, thrive in Contra Costa County. Recreation within the County varies from fishing, boating and water skiing in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers to hiking, horseback riding and camping in Mt. Diablo State Park. Recreational areas and National Parks, including Yosemite, the wine country of Napa and Sonoma Counties, the picturesque seaside communities of Carmel and Monterey, and the Sierra Lake Tahoe mountain region, are also within an easy drive from the County. The Organization Contra Costa County provides a full range of services through its 25 County Departments divided into service areas such as: Public Protection, General Government, Health and Human Services, Growth Management, Special Districts and other Authorities. There are also a number of Affiliated Organizations the County participates with or directly manages. Contra Costa County is one of the few counties in the Nation to offer a full spectrum of health-related services under one organizational structure including the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and its health centers. The County has a general law form of government. Contra Costa is known for being progressive and is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors elected by District, on a non-partisan basis, for staggered four-year terms. In addition to the Board of Supervisors, elected officials include the Assessor, Auditor-Controller, Clerk-Recorder, District Attorney, Sheriff- Coroner, and Treasurer-Tax Collector. The County has a FY 2020/2021 budget of $4.5 billion and a General Fund budget of $1.8 billion, with a permanent countywide staff of approximately 9,900 full-time equivalent employees. This summer, the County will transition into its new 71,000 square foot four- story County Administration building which will house a variety of County departments and the Board of Supervisors’ meeting chamber.

Glover, District V Supervisor Contact: David Twa I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action taken and entered on the minutes of the Board of Supervisors on the date shown. ATTESTED: July 14, 2020 , County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: , Deputy cc: D.12 To:Board of Supervisors From: Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Update on COVID-19 BACKGROUND: The Health Services Department has established a website dedicated to COVID-19, including daily updates. The site is located at: https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/ CLERK'S ADDENDUM Stacey Grassini, Senior Deputy District Attorney, said the special protection unit assigned to enforce the health order consists of three deputy district attorneys, two senior inspectors, and one paralegal. The group was formed when the health order became active in March. He said most referrals come from the health services call center with a very small number from law enforcement. Every complaint is tracked from beginning to end. The unit prefers an educational approach to compliance with the order. Complaints are reviewed by a deputy district attorney and determinations are made whether the business is essential or not. Health Services assists in questions regarding the essential designation. An inspector is available if needed to verify that appropriate measures are being implemented in businesses that are operation. He notes that over 200 businesses have been contacted. The vast majority are in compliance, with a letter being sent to those who are not outlining the health ramifications and the consequences of non-complaince. They can file misdemeanor charges if necessary. To date, voluntary compliance has been excellent and no charges have been filed against any business. Gary Koeppel, Deputy District Attorney, said the enforcement unit has agreed to be the contact persons for state agencies. They have been contacted by the department of industrial relations that oversees CalOSHA, the Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, and Alcohol and Beverage Control. The Department of Emergency Services has acted as a sort of clearinghouse for the different agencies. He noted it is not a traditional type of task force. Different agencies are acting independently and operating within their own jurisdictions. For instance, the cosmetology board would direct their focus on the licensing of the hair salons and barbers to see if they are in compliance with closure orders as a nonessential business. Networking between the agencies is a work in progress. Feedback has been positive. He said people should continue to report violations to the Covid-19 hotline at Health Services or the non-emergency number for the local police force. A referral will be made to the protection unit for follow-up to the District Attorney’s office to facilitate action by the appropriate agency and inspectors. The Environmental Health inspectors go to facilities such as restaurants, auto repair shops, and gasoline stations. They are creating handouts to assist the businesses. Their approach is to gain compliance through education. Those who refuse to comply will be referred to the District Attorney for follow up. Mr. Twa, County Administrator, noted that funds for Covid-19 are received from the state, one fund from the Governor and one fund from the CARES Act. Receiving those funds requires being able to certify that the county is in compliance with state orders. The Board expressed a desire to greater encourage compliance with the health order without charging violators with a misdemeanor. An ordinance to authorize administrative penalties (fines) would be such an avenue. Anna Roth, Health Services Director and Chris Farnitano, Health Officer summarized changes since the last report on June 23 2020. Cases across the state continue to rise, with over 7,000 deaths. Contra Costa County has been added to the state’s monitoring list. Yesterday the Governor updated the statewide health order: No dine in restaurants, no wineries or tasting rooms, no movie theaters, no family entertainment centers, bowling alleys or miniature golf or batting cages Museums are closed as well as card rooms, brew hubs and breweries must close all indoor and outdoor statewide unless they are offering sit down meals. In Contra Costa, closed operations, based on the government's order is fitness centers, worship services indoor, protests indoor, offices for nonessential sectors, personal care services, body waxing tattoo parlors, Barber shops and indoor malls. In three weeks there has been a nearly 100% increase in cases in Contra Costa. On June 23rd the total number of cases was 2586. Today there are 5023, an increase of 2497 cases - in only three weeks. 92 lives have been lost. There is growing evidence that there is widespread community transmission with the highest case rates in our low-income communities, the more diverse communities where we know people have to go out of the home working or for other reasons. The positivity rate (number of tests that are positive) has risen from 3% to 8%. The over 20% rise in hospitalization rate has placed the county on the state monitoring list. While testing is steadily increasing overall, it continues to be a challenge. The current average wait on the phone to schedule a test is 22 minutes. County testing sites have slots open about 7 days out, state sites about 14 days out. Receiving test results is frequently in excess of five days. The laboratories need more staff to get testing turnaround faster. Ms. Roth assures all that testing and results are completely confidential. Contact tracing is also confidential. This information will not be shared outside the health service agencies. For the dashboard and information on Covid-19, please go to cchealth.org. For non-emergency questions and to schedule testing, please call 1-844-729-8410. RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Contract Change Order No. 6, with Granite Rock Company, effective June 29, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $600,000 to be funded out of the approved project contingency. Project No. 0662-6R4052 (District IV and V) FISCAL IMPACT: There is no additional financial impact to the construction contract. Funds to cover Contract Change Order No. 6 are available in the approved project contingency. BACKGROUND: Contract Change Order No. 6 is necessary to pay the contractor, Granite Rock Company, for additional costs incurred as a result of revisions to a retaining wall in order to accommodate the close proximity of an adjacent creek. All contract change orders in excess of $150,000 are required to be approved by the Board of Supervisors. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and prevent payment for the additional work performed by the contractor.

(District II) FISCAL IMPACT: 100% CSA R-7 Funds. Project No. 7758-6X5184. BACKGROUND: When the Gann Initiative (Proposition 4) became effective in 1979, it imposed a limit on the future expenditures for service areas. However, voter-approved overrides allow for increases in appropriation limits. CSA R-7’s override expired in Fiscal Year 2018/19. Based on historical financial information, without the current override, the District would exceed its Fiscal Year 2019/20 appropriation limit. An override for Fiscal Years 2019/20 through 2023/2024 (inclusive) will likely be required to cover any projected excess revenue in each of these fiscal years. It is recommended that the override be increased to $1,750,000.

Boyd, Deputy cc: Allison Knapp, Deputy Chief Engineer, Tim Jensen, Flood Control, Paul Detjens, Flood Control, Gus Amirzehni, Flood Control, Catherine Windham, Flood Control C. 8 To:Contra Costa County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors From:Brian M. Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Approval of Landscaping Plans and Specifications for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project, Brentwood area. Project No. 7521-6D8176 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) The Project is being implemented in two phases, the first involving earthwork and related channel widening by the Flood Control District and the second to implement landscaping by American Rivers. The first phase construction contract was awarded by the Board on March 10, 2020. Earthwork construction is under way and scheduled to be completed in December 2020. The second phase includes planting of the widened channel area and adjacent park areas with native vegetation. The landscaping work is detailed in the Landscaping Plans, which were prepared by Restoration Design Group, Inc., for American Rivers. The Agreement contains a number of requirements that apply to the Landscaping Plans. Among other things, the Agreement requires them to conform to special hydrological and access standards and vegetation cover limits detailed in the Agreement. The intent of these requirements was to ensure that the vegetation planted in the creek does not diminish the stormwater conveyance capacity standard for Marsh Creek. The Flood Control District’s Chief Engineer has reviewed the landscaping design documents, which include the Landscaping Plans, and has determined that they meet the requirements in the Agreement. If the Board approves the Landscaping Plans, after American Rivers obtains the necessary permits and after the earthwork is complete, American Rivers will be able to proceed with the landscaping work. Once commenced, the landscaping work is expected to take approximately three years. Upon completion, Flood Control District staff will return to the Board to recommend acceptance of the landscaping work as complete. After that, American Rivers will be responsible for monitoring and maintaining the completed landscaping through a three-year establishment period. The Flood Control District will assume responsibility for maintenance of the landscaping located on Flood Control District property after the establishment period has ended. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Under the Agreement, if the Landscaping Plans are not approved by the Board, the landscaping work cannot commence.

Native soil will be used for backfill unless otherwise indicated on the Plans or di- rected by O.R. 4. Live Cuttings shall be installed after winter rains have saturated the upper-most 2- inches of the soil receiving the cuttings. Live Cuttings shall only be approved for in- stallation in the late fall and winter season with prior O.R. approval. A typical late fall and winter season installation sequence is as follows: American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Bid Set Submittal March 25, 2020 3CP 7 – SOIL BIOENGINEERING 5 of 7 Day 1 – water and saturate soil to a depth of 1-inch or ensure natural condi- tions have attained this saturation. Day 2 – water and saturate soil to a depth of 2-inches or ensure natural condi- tions have attained this saturation. Day 3 – no work on-site (live cuttings collection day) Day 4 – install live cuttings then after installation is complete, saturate soil to a depth of 1-inch, or ensure natural conditions have attained this saturation. Live Cuttings (Poles) Installation Method 1. Live cuttings shall be installed in areas shown on plans. As noted on Plans, Long Poles shall be installed through riprap in the (E) Riprap, and as Short Poles on the floodplain or channel bank. 2. Live cuttings shall be installed in irregular placements within the specified area for the cutting as directed by O.R. Straight lines and even spacing will not be accepted. 3. Each cutting shall be installed into a pre-drilled or augured hole per detail with grow- ing end up. Contractor shall use a “stinger” backhoe attachment or similar to ensure Large Poles are installed through the existing riprap as shown on the plans. 4. Backfill and saturate with water ensure airtight fit between soil and surface of the cutting along its entire length of embedment. 5. Short Poles, after pre-drilling, may be tamped into place using a rubber mallet. 6. Live Cuttings shall be trimmed to varying lengths above grade after the initial instal- lation as directed in the field by O.R. 7. Minor damage to the top of cutting caused by installation to be trimmed at approxi- mately 10 degrees. Cuttings with damaged bark or that have been split during in- stallation shall be replaced at the Contractor’s expense. Fabric Staking: (Coir biodegradable erosion control fabric) 1. Fabric to be located per Plans. 2. Fabric to be placed on earthen surfaces that are smooth, and without debris. No obstructions shall be visible on the earthen surface. Contractor shall take all fine grading and clean-up measures required to ensure fabric shall not rip or tear. 3. Fabric shall be secured with a minimum of two (2) fabric fasteners per square yard, or per the manufacturer specifications, whichever is the tighter staking spacing. Wattles: Install on contour lines as noted on Plans. Stake with 1x2x18 -inch un-treated Doug Fir stakes at 4‘-0” o.c. continuously. Tie in ends of wattles to subgrade and include stake at all ends. Overlap adjoining roll ends at least 12-inchs and provide (1) additional stake and adjoining roll connection points. SOIL PREPARATION OF SEEDING AREA Prepare all areas to be seeded. Seeding shall occur in all areas disturbed by construction not receiving mulch and outside of the Active Channel. If requested, seeding shall be performed under direct observation of the O.R. Soil seed bed shall be prepared from the final, O.R. approved, graded soil condition pre- pared by the Contractor. No seed bed preparation shall be initiated until the final grading for the project is accepted. American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Bid Set Submittal March 25, 2020 3CP 7 – SOIL BIOENGINEERING 6 of 7 Seed bed preparation shall include the following where construction work has disturbed the existing finish grade. Seed bed shall be free of surface irregularities and of even compac- tion (80% relative compaction): Rake out all debris and litter regardless of size or type and dispose of legally. Rocks and woody material greater than 2-inches in diameter shall all be removed from the site. Where disturbed areas have become over compacted use a commercial grade rototiller and hand rake soil areas to meet conditions noted above. HYDROSEEDING All disturbed areas, not covered with mulch, or paving, or in the Active Channel, shall be hydroseeded as noted on the Plans. Do not apply hydroseeding emulsion during rainy weather or when soil temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Hydroseeding shall be completed in two applications. One application will not be accepta- ble. Three applications can be used if approved by O.R. First application shall be a mix of the seed, mycorrhizal inoculum, fertilizer, and a thin appli- cation of mulch (1/4 inch) and tackifier at 500 pounds/acre. Second application shall be a slurry mix of as greater amount of wood fiber and organic mulch at 1,500 pounds per acre Presoak seeds for 24 hours immediately before seeding. Change water three times, at eight-hour intervals, to prevent anaerobic damage. Perform mixing in a tank with a built-in, continuous agitation and recirculation system of sufficient operation capacity to produce a homogeneous slurry and discharge system which will apply the slurry at a continuous and uniform rate. Minimum capacity of tank: 3,000 gallons. O.R. may authorize use of smaller tank if it is demonstrated that such equipment is capable of performing all operations satisfactorily. Begin slurry preparation by adding water to the tank when engine is at half-throttle. When water level has reached height of agitator shaft, add stabilizing agent. Then add seed and fertilizer, followed by fiber mulch. Add the mulch to the mixture only after the seed and only with tank half full of water. Open the engine throttle to full speed when the tank is half filled with water. All the mulch shall be added by the time the tank is two-thirds to three- fourths full. Commence spraying within two hours after the tank is full. Do not over mix, as this can break down the viability of seed. All slurry mix which has not been applied within two hours after mixing will be rejected and removed from the site at Contractor’s expense. Seed and subgrade shall be kept moist until germination occurs and seasonal rains ensure steady water supply. If late fall and winter rains do not maintain moist soil and vigorous seed growth conditions Contractor is responsible for manual irrigation of the seeded area. CLEAN-UP Keep project site free from accumulation of debris resulting from work specified in this sec- tion. Immediately remove dirt, debris, and over seeding from seeding operations from buildings and structures, walls, pavements, and curbs.

Currently budgeted in the County Administrator's Office and 100% funded by AB 109. BACKGROUND: The Office of Reentry & Justice (ORJ) will be transitioning to the Probation Department, effective July 1, 2020. The ORJ was launched in January 2017 as a pilot project of the County Administrator’s Office to align and advance the County’s public safety realignment, reentry, and justice programs and initiatives; it is funded by AB 109 Public Safety Realignment revenues from the state. The ORJ oversees the AB 109 Community Reentry Programs, provides staff support to the Public Safety Realignment Community Advisory Board and the Racial Justice Oversight Body, develops grant-funded reentry resources, develops critical data and research support for the programs, and is recognized as the hub of reentry related information in the County. The ORJ has been instrumental in the development and implementation of a Reentry Strategic Plan for the County, the Youth Justice Initiative which launched reentry services for juveniles, a Pre-Release Planning project, a draft Racial Equity Action Plan, and Procedural Justice and Implicit Bias trainings for the County. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Office of Reentry and Justice will remain a Pilot Program and will not be aligned to advance the County's public safety realignment, reentry, and justice programs initiatives.

The incumbent provides management and supervision of subordinate staff including those in the classification of Pre-Hospital Care Coordinator ($12,367). This action will address the internal compaction and provide a more competitive recruitment to fill the role. The EMS Director retired in February of 2018 and the position has been vacant since. The Director of Environmental Health Services-Exempt has responsibility for the overall management of all general programs in the Environmental Health Division and the work engagement of personnel in food safety, solid waste, sewage systems, land development and use, water systems, water-oriented recreation, bio-medical waste, body art, and health and sanitation conditions relating to housing and institutions. To offset the cost, the Department will cancel the soon-to-be vacant Director of Environmental Health Services-Exempt position #9637. The increased cost is offset by cancellation of the program positions, program fees and Proposition H funds. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Department will not have ability to recruit and retain highly skilled division leaders in the Emergency Medical Services and Environmental Health Services divisions.

(Represented) FISCAL IMPACT: Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $160,440.23 with $62,218.72 in pension costs already included. This cost is 100% funded by grants from the Perinatal Equity Initiative. BACKGROUND: With the introduction of the Perinatal Equity Initiative (PEI) in 2018, there has been a significant increase in the volume of work within the Family, Maternal & Child Health Division. The establishment of PEI aims to address the causes of persistent inequality in birth outcomes and to identify best practices to eliminate disparities in infant mortality. The legislation provides funding to 11 County health departments to fund community-based organizations, who will in turn implement at least two of five legislated intervention categories. As a participating PEI site, Contra Costa County’s Health Services Department is required to maintain a Community Advisory Board as well as to develop a public awareness campaign about our intervention efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT: Cost Neutral. BACKGROUND: In June of every year, CCHS brings on 13 new Residents while the 13 current Residents are finishing up the residency program. There is a two-week overlap between the onboarding of new Residents and the graduation of the current Residents. There are only 13 permanent positions allocated for the Residency Program. Due to the lack of additional vacant positions, this two-week overlap requires the department to separate the third-year residents and appoint them as a temporary employee until they complete the residency program and officially graduate. Adding 13 additional positions will allow the third-year Residents the opportunity to finish up the program without the two-week disruption to their employment status while allowing the Department to onboard the new Residents.

Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Submission of grant applications to Caltrans & MTC under Active Transportation Program, Countywide. BACKGROUND: The County often seeks state and federal funding to augment our local road funds, stretching local dollars to build improvements that would not be possible otherwise. The opportunity available at this time is through the Active Transportation Program (ATP) which is a competitive program that awards funds statewide for projects that will improve infrastructure related to walking and biking. The competitive rating criteria for the ATP emphasizes the following goals: Increase proportion of trips accomplished through walking and biking; Increase safety and mobility for non-motorized users; Advance active transportation efforts to achieve green-house gas reduction goals as established pursuant to Senate Bill 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) and Senate Bill 391 (Chapter 585, Statutes of 2009); Enhance public health, including reduction of childhood obesity through the use of programs including, but not limited to, project eligible for Safe Routes to School Program funding; Ensure that disadvantage communities fully share in the benefits of the program; and Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users. Competitive projects must also demonstrate the ability to deliver the project within the required time constraints and must provide the California Conservation Corps with an opportunity to partner on the project during the construction phase. On June 8, 2020, the Transportation, Water & Infrastructure Committee (TWIC) reviewed the candidate projects listed below and recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve their submission as grant applications. RECOMMENDED CANDIDATE PROJECTS: Staff recommends the following candidate projects be submitted for ATP funding consideration. These projects are recommended based upon their competitiveness, project readiness, available funding source to provide the local match, and staff availability to complete each application. The projects recommended below are all within disadvantaged communities or provide a benefit to a service population within a disadvantaged community to assure competitiveness. The following projects are being resubmitted from the 2018 call for projects: Appian Way Complete Streets, Bailey Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Market Avenue Complete Streets, and San Pablo Avenue Complete Streets. Although these previous applications were not awarded in the previous cycle, staff has received feedback from the review committee and has improved the applications accordingly. A description of each project is included below. Appian Way Complete Streets – El Sobrante Staff has worked with the El Sobrante community and City of Pinole staff on planning studies for Appian Way over the past six years. Staff has developed the complete streets concept for Appian Way that was first identified in a study conducted by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) in collaboration with the County and the City of Pinole. This study was approved by the Board in December 2013, which included adoption of the Complete Streets Alternative as the preferred alternative. This planning study was an initial step towards implementation of the El Sobrante General Plan Amendment. Preliminary layouts have been prepared to identify the scope and location of proposed bicycle and pedestrian improvements on Appian Way. The plans were presented at two public workshops and to the El Sobrante Municipal Advisory Council. During one of the workshops, community members identified a priority for improvements at the intersection of Appian Way at Valley View Road as well as the segment of Appian Way from Valley View Road to San Pablo Dam Road. The planning efforts included the full extent of Appian Way from San Pablo Dam Road to the City of Pinole; however, this grant application is focused on improvements from the Appian Way and Valley View Road intersection to San Pablo Dam Road. The project scope is to construct a roundabout at the intersection of Appian Way and Valley View Road, which includes pedestrian crossings with refuge islands, sidewalks, and striping for bicycle lanes. The proposed enhancements along Appian Way between Valley View to San Pablo Dam Road include sidewalk-related ADA improvements, traffic calming bulb-outs, and crosswalk safety flashing beacons. This project is located adjacent to a Priority Development Area. Staff will continue to work with the El Sobrante Municipal Advisory Council in moving these efforts forward. Bailey Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements – Bay Point The goal of the Bailey Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project is to improve the pedestrian and bicycle environment along Bailey Road in Bay Point in accordance with the 2010 Bailey Road Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement Plan (Plan). The Plan provides design concepts that fulfill the community’s desire for Bailey Road to be safer and more walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented. The Plan is the result of numerous meetings and community discussions. Various stakeholders were involved with the creation of the Plan, including the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council, Contra Costa County, City of Pittsburg, Caltrans, East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), Tri-Delta Transit, BART, and other concerned individuals. This project proposes to narrow each of the four travel lanes and median to reallocate space to accommodate Class II bicycle lanes and expanded sidewalks with a buffer zone for enhanced pedestrian safety. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps, expanded sidewalks, crosswalk enhancements, and Class II bicycle lanes will improve accessibility for all modes of active transportation. This project is preceded by three complimentary projects. The completed Delta-De Anza Trail Gap Closure/Crossing Signalization project installed signalized improvements at the Bailey Road crossing to provide a safer crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists. The Bay Point Utility Undergrounding project, which began construction in 2019, includes relocation of utilities and removes joint poles that are barriers to mobility. The State Route 4 and Bailey Road Interchange project, located immediately south of this project and funded through a previous ATP cycle, will begin construction in 2021 and will install ADA pedestrian access, Class II bicycle lanes, and remove an off ramp to reduce conflict points for bicyclists or pedestrians. Carquinez Middle School Trail Connection – Crockett The Public Works Department is partnering with the John Swett Unified School District (JSUSD), to close a 1,000-foot gap on the multi-use Carquinez Strait Scenic Loop Trail (CSSLT). This trail connection will provide safe access for pedestrians along the west side of Crockett Boulevard from Pomona Street to Carquinez Middle School, Willow High School, and beyond to the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) Crockett Hills Regional trail. The trail connection will serve residents of the community of Crockett, regional visitors, and students who attend either of the two schools. Currently, students who attend Carquinez Middle School access the campus from the southwest corner of Pomona Street and Crockett Boulevard down a staircase. The school site is located approximately twenty feet below the elevation of the roadway. There is currently no direct access for mobility-impaired individuals. In addition, the students of Willow High School who depart the Regional transit bus at the intersection of Crockett Boulevard and Pomona Street must walk 1,200 feet along the roadway shoulder of Crockett Boulevard to access their school. The project will include grading and paving an ADA-compliant separated path that runs parallel to Crockett Boulevard through Carquinez Middle School to Willow High School and beyond to the EBRPD staging area. The JSUSD will maintain the trail, potentially in partnership with the EBRPD. Since this project serves students of Carquinez Middle School and Willow High School as well as closes a gap in a regional trail, this project is expected to be competitive. Market Avenue Complete Streets – North Richmond The Market Avenue Complete Streets project is located along Market Avenue between Fred Jackson Way and 7th Street. Market Avenue is a minor arterial commonly utilized to travel between residences, community facilities, Verde Elementary school, and the neighboring City of San Pablo. The existing condition of Market Avenue includes wide travel lanes, substandard sidewalk conditions, and substandard curb ramps. The overall purpose of the project is to increase accessibility and support safer routes for users of active transportation. In July 2018, staff from the Public Works Department presented multiple multi-modal alternatives for Market Avenue between Fred Jackson Way and 7th Street to the North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council, and there was overwhelming support for widened, ADA-accessible sidewalks. The proposed project includes construction of ADA-compliant curb ramps, bulb-outs, sidewalk widening, and Class III shared-lane markings for bicyclists. The ADA-compliant curb ramps and sidewalk widening will improve accessibility for people with disabilities. The bulb-outs will reduce the crosswalk travel distance at the intersection of Market Avenue and Giaramita Street, where students typically cross on their commute to Verde Elementary School. The addition of shared-lane markings is intended to alert drivers to share the road with bicyclists and encourage the use of active modes of transportation. The improvements to Market Avenue will connect to nearby similar improvement projects. Wider sidewalks and buffered Class II bicycle lanes are planned for Fred Jackson Way between Grove Avenue and Pittsburg Avenue. Wider sidewalks have already been constructed on both sides of Giaramita Street, from Market Avenue to Verde Elementary School and on Market Avenue, from 7th Street to 300 feet past Soto Street. The Market Avenue Complete Streets project will connect to these adjacent improvement projects to establish a multi-modal corridor for the local community. This project is anticipated to be competitive for funding due to the location within a Community of Concern and a Priority Development Area. San Pablo Avenue Complete Streets – Rodeo/Crockett The San Pablo Avenue corridor between Rodeo and Crockett has been recognized in numerous prior planning documents as a key route and targeted for multi-modal improvements. The County’s 2005 General Plan designates this portion of the corridor as a Scenic Route, given its surrounding landscape and views of San Pablo Bay, the Carquinez Strait, and the Briones Hills. The 2009 Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan proposes a Class II bicycle facility on this portion of San Pablo Avenue and noted that this facility is part of the county’s larger bicycle and pedestrian network. The West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee 2017 Action Plan designated the San Pablo Avenue corridor as a Route of Regional Significance and has identified an action to implement a complete streets/Bay Trail project connecting Rodeo and Crockett. In 2014, a feasibility study was commissioned by the County through a Priority Development Area planning grant from MTC and CCTA for this segment of San Pablo Avenue to identify a preferred complete street alternative and set of improvements for the roadway. The study incorporated a series of technical studies, field work, public outreach, and engineering analysis, which provided the basis for the recommended alternative. A shared use path on the northern side with a road diet was determined as this recommended alternative. On June 5, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved the feasibility report for the San Pablo Avenue Complete Streets Study and authorized the Public Works Director to seek funding. This project aims to provide a shared bicycle and pedestrian path on the northern side of the corridor, separated by a physical barrier. This will be accomplished by reducing the existing four travel lanes to one travel lane in each direction with center left-turn lanes, dedicated left-turn pockets, and truck climbing lanes. The addition of a shared bicycle and pedestrian path will close a 3-mile gap of the San Francisco Bay Trail, further connecting these two communities as well as the other amenities tied to the San Francisco Bay Trail. The anticipated benefits are numerous as the new infrastructure will not only provide an option for local residents to use an active mode of transportation for their commute but also extends well beyond these two communities as closing this gap will complete a 29-mile segment of the Bay Trail between Vallejo and Oakland. San Pablo Dam Road Pedestrian Crossing – El Sobrante San Pablo Dam Road is a route of regional significance, as it connects West County to Central County, and it experiences high volume and high-speed traffic. In the two-mile section between May Road and Castro Ranch Road, there is only one pedestrian crossing along this four-lane segment. The lone crossing creates a challenge for pedestrians to access the many businesses, schools, and bus stops on either side of the street. Due to high average daily traffic (ADT), and high vehicle speeds, pedestrian safety enhancements are proposed at two locations and will include Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHB). PHBs are proposed to address this barrier to accessibility that many residents face. Both PHB crossings would include advanced warning signs, overhead mast arms with signal lights over each lane, yield markings, and a marked crosswalk. Providing the community with these two PHBs will create a safer environment for residents of all levels of mobility. This project originated with several request from residents who identified this as a primary need for their community, which includes a number of multi-family residential developments. The implementation of two PHBs will provide the residents with the desired crossing points to reach their destinations in a safer and more efficient way. The first site for installation is located east of Leisure Lane in front of Creekside Terrace Apartments. This location is an ideal spot for a pedestrian crossing due to multi-family complexes and bus stops on both sides of the street. The second site identified for a PBH is located approximately 0.4 miles east of Valley View Road, linking together four bus stops and multiple residential communities. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If staff is not authorized to submit applications, grant funding will not be available, which will delay the design and construction of these projects.

Any expenditures not fully reimbursed at 75% Federal FEMA funds will be County funds. BACKGROUND: On April 24, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the launch of a first-in-the-nation Great Plates Delivered program (Program). The Program is designed to support adults 65 and older and adults 60-64 who are at high-risk from COVID-19, in staying home and staying healthy by delivering three nutritious meals a day, and also provide essential economic stimulus to local businesses and workers struggling to stay afloat during the COVID-19 crisis. On May 1, 2020, the County Administrator submitted a letter of interest in participating in the Program to CalOES. The letter of interest presented a Program plan of a maximum of 500 participants a day, receiving three meals a day, provided by a maximum of 10 local restaurants. On May 26, 2020, the Board determined that it is necessary to appropriate monies from the General Fund as authorized by Government Code Section 26227 to contribute toward the cost of meals for specified older adults residing in Contra Costa County during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as part of the State of California’s Program and ratified the execution of contracts with Taheri’s Mediterranean Restaurant and GDC Kitchens. Ratification of the execution of the contract between the County and Agave Grill Corporation will enable Contra Costa County to serve 50 vulnerable older adults. Consistent with Program specifications, the contractor will be paid an amount not to exceed $66 per person per day during the terms of the contract. The authorization and approval to execute a amendment of this contract is on the condition that FEMA funds continue to be available. For any amendment executed, consistent with Program specifications, the contractor will be paid an amount not to exceed $66 per person per day. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The execution of the contract will not be ratified and the execution of the amendment will not be authorized and approved.

In addition, the Great Plates Delivered Program (Program) provides economic stimulus to local restaurants that are struggling due to COVID-19 mitigation orders. The Program is currently extended until July 10, 2020, and may receive additional extensions and associated funding.

The execution of further amendments of the two contracts with GDCC LLC and Shahram Taheri under this Program will extend the services through September 10, 2020, but will occur only on the condition that FEMA funding becomes available.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the County General Fund. The cost for these retainer contract services will be paid for with solid waste and recycling franchise fee revenue. BACKGROUND: The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is responsible for administering the County’s four existing solid waste and recycling collection franchise agreements, which involves detailed rate reviews and other periodic activities that require technical assistance from persons with specialized expertise.

ATTESTED: July 14, 2020 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Laura Cassell, Deputy cc: C. 74 To:Board of Supervisors From:John Kopchik, Director, Conservation & Development Department Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Agreement with Crowe, LLP for services related to solid waste and recycling collection franchises and rate setting BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) as needed. For over 20 years, DCD has worked with the same Project Manager who has gained comprehensive County franchise specific knowledge and experience as a result of the rate setting assistance provided. The Project Manager's background and in-depth understanding of the County franchises offer substantial value that benefits both the County and our rate payers. This retainer contract with Crowe, LLP (Crowe) will provide DCD staff with continued financial, technical and professional consulting services needed to conduct analysis and studies related to the County's collection franchise agreements. Under this contract, Crowe would be on retainer to provide specialized consulting services on an as-needed basis at the direction of the Department. The services to be provided would include, but not necessarily be limited to, rate reviews/studies, efficiency reviews, feasibility studies and service/rate related negotiations. Securing this consultant support effective July 1, 2020 ensures no interruption in retainer services which will help the County adhere to the time lines established for the review and approval of rate review applications submitted by franchise haulers. The contract includes minor revisions to the indemnification provision of the General Conditions (paragraph 18), consistent with prior retainer contracts with Crowe, but the contractor will continue to be required to indemnify the County. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Department would not have access to the Crowe, LLP Project Manager's technical expertise needed to thoroughly review and analyze the solid waste collection rate applications and supporting financial documentation in order to determine the appropriate rate changes to be recommended to the Board.

(dba Service Master Restoration Services). BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) The Contractor met the Contract payment limit of $99,000 and due to unforeseen emergency events occurring during the contract term additional services were required in the amount of $143,099. The total billed for the contract term period of December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019 was $242,099, exceeding the contract payment limit by $143,099. The Contractor is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of its services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. That theory provides that where a contractor has been asked to provide services without a valid contract, and the contractor does so to the benefit of the County, the Contractor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services. The Contractor has provided services at the request of the County after the original contract payment limit had been reached. The Department cannot pay Contractor for services rendered that exceed the contract limits. As such, the Department recommends that the Board authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a one-time payment not to exceed $143,099 to Sharjo, Inc. (dba Service Master Restoration Services) for services provided for emergency events occurring June 11, 2019 through June 13, 2019 and October 28, 2019 through November 8, 2019. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this Board Order is not approved, the Contractor will not be paid for services requested by County staff and provided by Contractor. ATTACHMENTS RECOMMENDATION(S): ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/175 approving a Side Letter between Contra Costa County and the Physicians' and Dentists' Organization of Contra Costa (PDOCC), to expand the eligibility for Night Shift pay and amending the provisions of Section 7: Holidays of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). FISCAL IMPACT: Costs were included in the estimate provided for adoption in the original MOU. Costs will depend upon use and are expected to be minor. The costs will be expended in the Hospital Enterprise Fund. BACKGROUND: The first portion of this Side Letter simplifies Section 7: Holidays of the MOU by deleting large portions of the section and replacing it with condensed rules for when full-time and part-time employees work on holidays. The second portion of this Side Letter amends Exhibit B of the MOU by including job codes VPT5, VPT6, VPT1 and VPS9 in the list of classifications eligible for the $50 Night Shift differential. These classes were inadvertently overlooked when preparing the original Exhibit. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The current provisions of the 2019-2022 PDOCC MOU will not be amended.

FISCAL IMPACT: Administrative action, to correct long-term misalignment between memoranda of understanding and CalPERS Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) resolution. BACKGROUND: A recent retirement by an individual employee, hired specifically between January 2, 2007 and October 1, 2011, brought to light a misalignment between the County's negotiated agreements with DSA regarding retiree healthcare subsidies and adopted CalPERS PEMHCA resolutions. For employees hired between January 2, 2007 and October 1, 2011, the County did not correctly file a modification to its PEMHCA resolution. CalPERS/PEMHCA does not allow retroactive adjustments. This action is an administrative correction to the misalignment and impacts only those employees hired between January 2, 2007 and October 1, 2011 who retire from Contra Costa County.

FISCAL IMPACT: The submission of these documents to CDVA allows the County to receive Subvention and Medi-Cal Cost Avoidance revenue for the 2020-2021 fiscal year, decreasing dependence on the County General Fund. It is anticipated that approximately $225,617 will be received, which is estimated to be $218,737 for Subvention and $6,880 for Medi-Cal.

DIRECT the Director of Conservation and Development, or designee, to arrange for payment of the $50 handling fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the County General Fund. The costs for County staff time spent and any related consulting services focused on administering the Franchise Agreement with Garaventa Enterprises, Inc. (Agreement), including the rate setting process, are covered by solid waste/recycling collection franchise fees. BACKGROUND: In May of 1995, the County entered into the Agreement with Garaventa to govern collection services provided in unincorporated East County areas. The Agreement has been amended three times and said amendments were approved by both Parties on or about January 8, 2000, January 25, 2011, and August 9, 2011. The Agreement grants Garaventa the exclusive privilege and duty to collect residential and commercial solid waste and recyclable material (including organics) within the unincorporated service area (Franchise Area). The Franchise Area covers the following unincorporated communities, all but one of which is located in East County: 1. Part of Bay Point (western portion) 2. Bethel Island 3. Brentwood, unincorporated 4. Part of Byron (outside the Byron Sanitary District service area) 5. Discovery Bay 6. Knightsen 7. North Concord, unincorporated 8. Oakley, unincorporated Rate Setting Process The County establishes and regulates collection rates that Garaventa is allowed to charge for residential and commercial collection services provided in the Franchise Area, with the exception of North Concord. The unincorporated North Concord area customers have rates and services consistent with those approved by the City of Concord for neighboring incorporated area customers. The service and rate changes recommended in this Board Order would not affect unincorporated North Concord. The County establishes collection rates in accordance with the rate setting methodology set forth in the "Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Solid Waste Collection Charges as Applied to Garaventa Enterprises" approved by the Board of Supervisors (Rate Manual). The Rate Manual provides for recovery of the reasonable costs that Garaventa will incur in performing services under the Agreement plus allowable profit. The Rate Manual establishes a Franchise Area-specific rate application and review process, involving periodic detailed reviews with intervening annual adjustments based on the San Francisco-San Jose-Hayward Consumer Price Index (CPI) consistent with the terms of the Agreement, as described below: 1. Every three (3) years: Comprehensive Base Year rate reviews evaluating Garaventa's actual and projected costs and revenues directly associated with the Franchise Area services and rates. Such reviews rely upon data submitted in detailed rate applications and accompanying audited financial statements (if the Fourth Amendment is approved, it would move Base Year rate reviews to every four years instead of every three years consistent with other County franchise areas), and 2. Intervening Years between Base Years (Interim Years): Garaventa may request no change or a change based on one of the following options. One, a rate change which does not exceed the annual change in CPI, where Board approval is not required. Garaventa is not required to submit audited financial statements with the Interim Year rate application. The other option is for extraordinary circumstances where Garaventa experiences significant changes in costs or revenues not under its control, in which case, a rate application and appropriate documentation can be submitted for staff review and Board approval. History of Garaventa Rate Adjustments Since the Prior Base Year Rate changes, since the County adopted the Manual in 1999, increased on a compounded basis by approximately 4.5 percent per year over the 20 years since 1999. This includes implementation of various new programs, including the source separated yard waste recycling program and transitioning to a three-cart based collection system. During this same timeframe the CPI increased on a compounded basis by approximately 2.9 percent per year. 2016 Base Year Rate Adjustment: Staff recommended, and the Board approved, a 5.93% rate increase that went into effect on August 15, 2016. 2017 Interim Year Rate Adjustment: Residential and commercial CPI rate increase of 3.48% that went into effect on January 15, 2018. 2018 Interim Year Adjustment: No CPI rate increase was proposed. The 3.48% CPI rate increase that went into effect on January 15, 2018 is the most recent change to the rates. Garaventa's 2019 Base Year Rate Application On July 11, 2018, Garaventa submitted a Base Year Rate Application proposing to increase residential and commercial solid waste collection rates by 4.22% based on projected costs for existing services. DCD staff solicited assistance from Crowe to conduct a detailed review of Garaventa's Base Year Rate Application and associated audited financial statement(s). During Crowe's review of the Rate Application, consistent with the Rate Manual, Garaventa provided additional requested financial and operational information deemed necessary to complete the analysis. Using the detailed financial data provided, Crowe reviewed the following major cost categories to determine the appropriate rate adjustment: * Direct Labor Costs * Disposal Fees * County's Franchise Fee * Corporate and Local General and Administrative Costs * Household Hazardous Waste Program Costs * Trucking and Equipment Lease Costs * Depreciation * Professional Fees * Other Operating Expense Revised Base Year Rate Application & Associated Adjustments Crowe reviewed Garaventa's Rate Application for consistency with the Rate Manual, County policies, and waste management industry practices. Crowe worked diligently with Garaventa representatives to validate costs and determine where adjustments were needed. The rate review analysis led to recommended adjustments to various cost categories which included eliminating unallowable costs, correcting costs for services to County, and adding allowable costs for programs/services that were not accounted for in the Base Year Rate Application. Crowe's rate review conducted based on the existing rate setting methodology found that a 5% rate reduction was potentially warranted, Garaventa identified potential shortcomings with the Base Year Rate Application previously submitted and requested that staff not proceed with the rate review process until a revised Base Year Rate Application was submitted. Garaventa was not comfortable having the County proceed with the proposed rate reduction, given the current recycling market, and requested some additional time to revise their Rate Application. Garaventa submitted a revised Base Year Rate Application in October 2019. Request for Recycling Surcharge & Proposed Rate Setting Policy Changes In addition to the Base Year rate adjustment, Garaventa requested a supplemental recycling surcharge due to the deflated recycling commodities markets resulting primarily from China’s National Sword policy. China’s National Sword policy has stymied commodities markets, caused largely by the recent changes in the contamination limits and bans on the types of recycled materials accepted by China. DCD staff is not recommending approval of a recycling surcharge as that would be inconsistent with the established rate setting policies used in any of the County’s franchise areas. DCD staff proposed and Garaventa is agreeable to an alternative approach based on the revenues and costs associated with collecting and processing recycled materials, consistent with rate setting practices in the County’s other franchise areas. The Rate Manual specifies that Garaventa may credit the Franchise Area for the value of collected recyclables at a rate of $5 per ton for the materials processed and sold on the open market. This flat $5 per ton for recyclables has consistently been used for rate setting in this Franchise Area. Due to the circumstances associated with the current recycling markets, staff is proposing to instead use the alternative recycling cost/revenue method, which the Rate Manual provides for at the County’s sole discretion. This alternative method specified in the Rate Manual calculates rates based on the actual revenues and costs of processing and selling of recycled materials, consistent with other County collection franchises. Using this alternative, the County calculates allowable Base Year Rate adjustments based on the revenues from recycling commodity sales and the costs associated with processing curbside recycled materials separately within the Base Year Rate Application's line items. The revised application submitted by Garaventa in October 2019 included these line items. County staff identified a willingness to recommend a rate adjustment based on this change in the rate setting policy contingent upon Garaventa agreeing to amend the Agreement to provide enhanced services described in the next section. Additionally, Garaventa requested and staff has agreed to recommend that the Agreement be amended to change the Base Year Rate cycle from every 3 to every 4 years. If the Fourth Amendment and recommended Base Year Rate adjustment are approved, DCD staff will work with Crowe to update the Rate Manual accordingly. Proposed Service Enhancements in Fourth Amendment In consideration for the above described changes in rate setting policy, Garaventa has agreed to amend the Agreement to provide the following service enhancements. On-Call Bulky Item Pick-ups: In the County’s other three franchise areas, the contractor’s offer an on-call bulky item service to residential customers at no additional charge. This is a popular service in the County’s other franchise areas. Furthermore, adding this service in the East County area is one of the illegal dumping strategies approved by the Board due to the large number of bulky items that are illegally dumped. Garaventa will start offering residential customers the option of requesting pick-up of one bulky item (e.g. mattress, furniture item, or appliance) per year at no additional charge. Garaventa will provide these pick-ups without rate compensation for an initial period of approximately 18 months. Details regarding this new on-call service can be found in Exhibit C in Attachment 2. On-Call Right-of-Way Pick-ups : Currently, County Public Works crews remove illegally dumped waste found in the County’s right-of-way within the Franchise Area. The contractors serving the County’s other three franchise areas currently provide on-call right-of-way pick-up services, which reduces County’s road maintenance costs. This has been effective in West and Central County and is a much-needed service in East County. Providing this service in East County is one of the illegal dumping strategies approved by the Board. Garaventa will service up to 200 right-of-way locations to remove up to one cubic yard of debris per pickup or a maximum of 200 cubic yards of debris collectively in any number of pickups per year. Garaventa will provide these pick-ups without rate compensation for an initial period of approximately 18 months. Once that annual limit is reached, Garaventa is willing to continue providing on-call right-of-way pick-ups on a fee for service basis until such time as the County approves rates that cover Garaventa’s costs for providing these services. Details regarding this new on-call service can be found in Exhibit D in Attachment 2. Enhanced Community Clean-up Boxes: Garaventa will service up to forty 40-cubic yard debris boxes from community clean-ups, rather than the ten 20-cubic yard boxes currently required in the Agreement. The cost of this enhanced community clean-up box service has been factored into the recommended 2020 Base Year Rate Adjustment. Details regarding this new on-call service can be found in Exhibit D in Attachment 2. Expanded Mandatory Commercial Recycling Assistance: Garaventa will provide expanded assistance associated with state mandated commercial recycling program monitoring and reporting. The cost of this expanded mandatory commercial recycling assistance has been factored into the recommended 2020 Base Year Rate Adjustment. Details regarding this new on-call service can be found in Exhibit C in Attachment 2. Proposed 2020 Rate Adjustment Crowe recalculated the proposed Base Year Rate adjustment based on the revised Base Year Rate Application, the rate setting policy changes identified above, and certain service enhancements as explained in the prior section. Additionally, Crowe factored a CPI increase into the proposed rate adjustment to account for the estimated change in costs due to the passage of time from the submittal of the initial Base Year Rate application. As a result of the revised rate review, Crowe recommended a Base Year Rate increase of 4.45% . The details of Crowe's recommended adjustments to the revenues, costs, and profits that Garaventa submitted in their revised Base Year Rate Application are discussed in the Final Report (Attachment 1), starting on Page 9. Table 1 below shows the recommended rate increase, which provides Garaventa the profit level (operating ratio) allowed for based on the recommended Fourth Amendment and proposed rate setting policy changes. This increase is proposed to take effect on August 15, 2020, contingent upon the simultaneous implementation of the new services provided for under the Fourth Amendment (Attachment 2). Table 1: Recommended Residential Collection Rates, per Customer, per Month in 2020 with +4.45% Increase Trash Cart Size Existing Maximum Monthly Rate Recommended Base Year Rate Increase for 2020 (4.45%) Recommended Maximum Monthly Base Year Rate for 2020 20 Gallon $30.27 $1.35 $31.62 32 Gallon $37.77 $1.68 $39.45 64 Gallon $43.81 $1.95 $45.76 96 Gallon $52.12 $2.32 $54.44 Rate Comparison As shown in Table F-1 in Attachment 1 (pg. 41), current residential rates in the Franchise Area are 10 to 20 percent above average rates in neighboring non-County franchise areas for the smaller 20 and 32-gallon container sizes, but are 15 to 30 percent below average rates in neighboring non-County franchise areas for the larger 64 and 96-gallon containers. With the proposed 4.45% increase recommended to take effect on August 15, 2020, the Franchise Area residential rates would range between about 18 to 25 percent higher for the smaller containers but 10 to 25 percent below average rates charged in non-County franchise areas. Compared to other unincorporated areas franchised by the County, current Franchise Area residential rates are about 30 percent above average for smaller containers and 20 percent below average for the larger containers. With the proposed 4.45% rate increase, the Franchise Area residential rates would range between 30 to 35 percent above average for smaller containers and between 10 to 25 percent lower for the larger containers than the average unincorporated County franchise area rates. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Board of Supervisors does not approve these recommendations, the Agreement would not be amended to provide for enhanced services and rate setting policies would remain unchanged. Therefore, staff would be obligated to recommend the Board decrease rates by five percent consistent with existing rate setting policies and the Agreement. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Garaventa provides refuse and recycling collection services in unincorporated Central and East Contra Costa County. This letter report is organized into nine (9) sections as follows: A. Purpose of Analysis B. Summary C. Background of Analysis D. Goals and Objectives of Analysis E. Scope of Analysis F. History of Collection Rates G. Base Year Rate Application H. Results of Analysis I. Comparison of Rates and Services to Other Neighboring Jurisdictions. There are six (6) attachments to this report, as follows: A. Rate Application B. Audited Financial Statements C. Exhibit III-1 From Manual D. Adjusted Base Year Rate Model E. Consumer Price Index Applicable for 2020 F. Comparative Rate Survey. A. Purpose of Analysis The purpose of the Base Year Rate Analysis of Garaventa Enterprises (Analysis) is to assist the County and Garaventa with establishing rates for refuse and recycling collection with Garaventa in accordance with the County’s Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Residential Solid Waste Charges (Manual), dated July 2011. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 2 March 4, 2020 The information in this Analysis is based on estimates, assumptions and other data developed by Crowe from information provided by Garaventa, knowledge of and participation in other studies, data supplied by the County, and other sources deemed to be reliable. In the course of preparing this Analysis, we have not conducted an audit, review, or compilation of any financial or supplemental data used in the accompanying Analysis. We have made certain projections of calculations based on projected data which may vary from actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected and such variances may be material. We have no responsibility to update this Analysis for events or circumstances occurring after the date above. Our procedures and work product are intended for the benefit and use of the County. This engagement was not planned or conducted in contemplation of reliance by any other party or with respect to any specific transaction and is not intended to benefit or influence any other party. Therefore, items of possible interest to a third party may not be specifically addressed or matters may exist that could be assessed differently by a third party. B. Summary In its Application, Garaventa requested a rate increase of 4.22 percent. Table 1 below shows our recommended rate increase which would provide Garaventa the target profit level allowed by the Rate Manual. Based on our review of Garaventa’s rate application, and applying the methodology contained in the Rate Manual, we calculate a rate increase of 4.45 percent for 2020. For residential customers, this rate increase corresponds to an increase of between $1.35 and $2.32 per customer, per month, depending on the residential service level. Table 1 Unincorporated Contra Costa County Calculated Residential Collection Rates, Per Customer, Per Month C. Background of Analysis Garaventa operates under an exclusive franchise with the County to collect, and remove for disposal and recycling, residential, commercial, and light industrial solid waste, recyclable materials, and green waste (organics). On May 9, 1995, the County signed a twenty (20) year franchise agreement with Garaventa. On August 9, 2011, the County approved the Third Amendment to the Franchise Agreement which extended the franchise term an additional ten (10) years through May 8, 2025 or until termination of the 3- cart system, whichever is shortest. The Garaventa franchise includes the following six (6) service areas in unincorporated Contra Costa County (Exhibit 1 shows the location of each service area): 1 Note that there was no rate change in 2019. Calculated Rate Increase (+4.45%) Service Level 2018 Collection Rate Rate Increase 2020 Collection Rate1 20 Gallon $30.27 $1.35 $31.62 32 Gallon $37.77 $1.68 $39.45 64 Gallon $43.81 $1.95 $45.76 96 Gallon $52.12 $2.32 $54.44 Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 3 March 4, 2020 1.

Exhibit 1 Unincorporated Contra Costa County Map of Garaventa Enterprises Service Areas Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 4 March 4, 2020 Garaventa consolidates refuse collected from unincorporated County areas at the Recycling Center and Transfer Station (RCTS) in Pittsburg, California. Garaventa then transports the refuse to Keller Canyon Landfill (located in unincorporated Contra Costa County) for disposal. Garaventa provides curbside recycling services to unincorporated County areas. Garaventa accepts the following recyclable material types: Glass bottles and jars (clean) Metals, clean (aluminum cans, aluminum foil, aluminum pie plates, food cans, pet food cans, steel cans, tin cans) Paper products, including boxes; cardboard; catalogs; colored paper; construction paper; copy paper; coupons; envelops; junk mail; loose newspaper; magazines; manila folders; newspaper inserts; office paper; paper bags; paper packaging; paper towel tubes; shredded paper; telephone books; and white paper Plastic products (clean), including: CA redemption types #1 through #7); HDPE #2, detergent bottles, 5-gallon buckets; juice jugs/cartons; mile jugs/cartons; plastic bags; plastic laundry baskets; plastic water jugs; plastic plant pots; rinsed salad dressing bottles; rinsed yogurt and margarine containers; shampoo and bleach bottles; soda bottles; soft drink bottles (PET #1); and toys. Used motor oil and filters (on-call) Residential customers commingle all of their recyclable materials into one 96-gallon cart (except customers located on Marsh Creek Road who place their recyclables out for collection in special company issued blue bags). Garaventa collects residential curbside recyclables weekly. Garaventa takes recyclable materials to its RCTS facility where they are separated on a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) sort line. Garaventa also provides residential customers with bi-weekly green waste collection service. D. Goals and Objectives of Analysis The Manual specifies that the primary goal of the rate setting process and methodology is to determine fair and equitable residential refuse collection charges that provide a reasonable profit level to Garaventa. Fairness is demonstrated through a rigorous review of Garaventa’s actual revenues and expenses. Residential charges also must be justifiable and supportable. Rate setting is prospective. The County sets rates in advance of when actual results occur. The County must therefore base rates on careful projections. To set rates, the County reviews trends in prior, current, and projected revenues, costs, and profits. The County sets rates that are intended to cover Garaventa’s costs of operations and allow a reasonable profit. The County uses the operating ratio (OR) method to project the profit level allowed to Garaventa in a base year. The actual OR level, or profit, received by Garaventa in a base year, and in subsequent interim years, is not however, guaranteed. E. Scope of Analysis The County based the scope of work for this review on the requirements in the Manual. The base year process has eleven (11) steps, seven (7) of which are the County’s responsibility. Garaventa is responsible for the other four (4) steps. We conducted our review in accordance with procedures described in the Manual. Crowe, as the Consultant, assisted the “County” with six steps of the rate review process (#2, #3, #5, #6, #9, and #10). We completed the following activities during our review: Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 5 March 4, 2020 Verified the Application was complete Determined data presented in the Application were mathematically correct and consistent Reviewed the reconciliation of calendar year 2017 financial information provided in the Application to the 2017 financial audit Compared actual 2017 results with estimated 2018 and projected 2019 financial results Analyzed significant historical fluctuations in major cost categories Examined the relationships between financial and operating information for reasonableness Reviewed Garaventa franchise fee payments to the County Presented a survey of rates of other similar neighboring communities. Crowe submitted two formal data requests to Garaventa on September 19, 2018 and November 16, 2018. Crowe received Garaventa’s responses to the data requests on December 5, 2018. Crowe also met with Garaventa management on November 16, 2018 and January 10, 2019 to ask Application-related questions and provide Garaventa with an opportunity to provide additional context and explain responses to the data requests. Following our initial analysis of the Application in late 2019 and early 2020, Crowe calculated that there was no need for a rate change for 2019. We based this determination on the financial information provided by Garaventa at the time the company submitted the 2019 Application. Due to the significant ongoing uncertainty with recycling commodity prices, and a desire by the County to incorporate some minor program changes to the franchise, the County and Garaventa agreed that the company would submit additional supplemental financial data during 2019 that the County would evaluate as part of this base year process to determine whether a rate change was merited for 2020. Due to the time that passed between submission of the 2019 Application and now, we also included the impact of the CPI-based rate change for 2020 (allowed during “interim years” in accordance with the Manual) as part of this analysis. We received supplemental financial information related to the Application on November 12, 2019. On November 21, 2019, we met with Garaventa to review this information and ask for additional clarification and supporting documentation. F. History of Collection Rates Rate changes, since the County adopted the Manual in 1999, increased on a compounded basis by approximately 4.5 percent per year over the nineteen years since 1999, and are shown in Table 2 on the following page. This includes implementation of various new programs, including the green waste program and a cart-based refuse collection program. During this same timeframe the San Francisco-San Jose-Hayward CPI increased on a compounded basis by approximately 2.9 percent. G. Base Year Rate Application The County received Garaventa’s Base Year Rate Change Application (Application) on July 10, 2018. A copy of the Application is provided in Attachment A, at the end of this report. Garaventa used year-to- date information to estimate 2018 financial results. Year 2019 results were entirely projected in the Application. Garaventa requested a 4.22 percent rate increase effective for 2019. This request corresponds to a $1.85 per customer, per month, increase in the 64-gallon rate, the most common service level in this County franchise area. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 6 March 4, 2020 Our review did not represent a financial audit of Garaventa. VT Accounting Associates, LLP prepared a 2016 and 2017 financial audit of the four (4) Garaventa companies serving unincorporated County areas, including Brentwood Disposal Service, Inc., Delta Debris Box Service, Inc., Discovery Bay Disposal, Inc., and Pittsburg Disposal & Debris Box Service, Inc., (provided in Attachment B). We reconciled 2017 audited results from these companies to results presented in the Application. Portions of these companies’ financial results (with the exception of Discovery Bay Disposal) also included services provided by these companies to non-unincorporated County franchised areas. For example, in addition to unincorporated areas around Pittsburg served under the County franchise, Pittsburg Disposal & Debris Box Service also serves the City of Pittsburg.

Results of Analysis This section details findings from Crowe’s analysis of Garaventa’s Application. We identified the impact of each finding in terms of a dollar value increase or a decrease in the “revenue requirement” shown in the Application. The revenue requirement is the amount of revenue that Garaventa needs to collect, through rates charged to customers, to cover the costs of providing the service plus a reasonable financial return. Increasing the revenue requirement results in an increase in rates and decreasing the revenue requirement results in a decrease in rates. Crowe analyzed the Application for consistency with the Manual, County policies, and waste management industry practices. In our assessment of Garaventa financial results, we compared year-to- year changes in revenues and costs for reasonableness and solicited explanations from Garaventa for material changes. We examined actual results from 2017, estimated results for 2018, and projected results for 2019. Our adjusted rate model is provided in Exhibit D-1, of Attachment D. 1. Garaventa Financial and Operating Results Since the 2016 Base Year In Table 3, we compare County approved rate changes with changes in residential revenues and accounts as presented in the Application. Residential revenues increased 2.3 percent between 2016 and 2018. The increase is due to a combination of rate increases and the growth in residential accounts over this period. Table 3 Unincorporated Contra Costa County Comparison of Residential Rate Increases with Changes in Residential Revenues and Accounts (2016 to 2018) Year Rate Increases Change in Residential Accounts Change in Garaventa Residential Collection Revenues 2016 to 2018 3.5% 2.9% 2.3% In Table 4, we compare County approved commercial and light industrial rate changes with changes in commercial and light industrial service revenues and tons as presented in the Application. From the time series, we find that there was an approximately 3.5 percent change to rates between 2016 and 2018, while commercial and light industrial tonnage increased by 11 percent. With the increase in commercial rates and tons, total commercial revenues increased proportionately by 6.8 percent over this period. Table 4 Unincorporated Contra Costa County Comparison of Commercial and Light Industrial Rate Increases with Changes in Commercial and Light Industrial Waste Revenues and Tonnage (2016 to 2018) Year Rate Increases Change in Commercial and Light Industrial Tons Change in Garaventa Commercial and Light Industrial Collection Revenues 2016 to 2018 3.5% 11% 6.8% For the above comparison, in addition to rate changes, we used the number of accounts as a proxy for changes to residential revenues while we used tonnage as a proxy for changes to commercial revenues. Tonnage is often more applicable for the commercial sectors as businesses are more inclined, than the residential sector, to adjust their service level based on tonnage changes. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 8 March 4, 2020 Between 2016 and 2019, total Garaventa unincorporated County revenues as presented in the Application are expected to increase at a level that is less than the increase in Garaventa’s costs for that timeframe, as shown in Table 5. Garaventa costs are projected to increase 14 percent, while Garaventa revenues are expected to increase 10 percent. During the 2016 to 2019 period, Garaventa’s actual operating ratio is estimated to range from 94 to 99 percent.2 Table 5 Unincorporated Contra Costa County Change in Garaventa Revenues and Costs (2016 to 2019) Description Percent Change Revenues 10% Costs 14% 2. Method for Allocating Garaventa Costs to County Areas Garaventa directly assigned revenue to each unincorporated County area. The Garaventa company’s billing system coded revenue by the jurisdiction in which the customer lives. Typically, customers are billed in advance of services provided. Garaventa recognized revenue in the month earned. Table 6 below, shows methods used by Garaventa to allocate consolidated Garaventa costs to unincorporated County areas. Garaventa generally allocated consolidated costs to unincorporated County areas using labor hours (route hours) or the number of accounts. Table 6 Unincorporated Contra Costa County Methodology Used by Garaventa to Allocate Consolidated Costs to the County Cost Allocation Method Direct Expenses Direct labor Labor Hours Disposal Fees Direct – Tons Franchise Fees Direct - Revenues Indirect Expenses Corporate Overhead Accounts Trucking and Equipment Leases Hybrid (Route hours and direct) Depreciation Direct General and Administrative Accounts Interest Expense Accounts Other Operating Expense Accounts Professional Fees Accounts Supervisory Accounts 2 The County’s target operating ratio (OR) during base years is 90 percent. A larger operating ratio represents a smaller than expected return. For 2019, the OR is estimated.

We identify various adjustments to the Application. The revenue requirement is equal to the sum of the following: Total allowable costs Allowable operating profits Total pass through costs. Garaventa’s requested County revenue requirement, as submitted in the Application, was $7,000,551. This figure is shown on line 30 of the Application in Attachment A. We relied on the methodology provided in Exhibit III-3 of the Manual to conduct this review. A copy of this exhibit is provided as Attachment C. We have analyzed the results below for a rate change that is effective for 2020. i. Revenues Residential Revenues Garaventa projected an increase in residential revenues between 2018 and 2019 of 5.5 percent. Garaventa indicated in its Application that residential accounts are expected to increase by 0.5 percent in 2019. We adjusted the 2019 residential revenue projection to base it on the methodology in Exhibit III-3 which uses the following formula: Residential revenues in the “Current Year” multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in residential customer revenues over the prior two years (2.93% increase). To account for the additional one-year delay, and to project 2020 residential revenues, we added a slight increase from 2019 residential revenues based on the average of the prior two years of account growth (0.72%) to arrive at residential revenues of $5,082,691. Net Impact: [Decrease of $57,652 in the revenue requirement] Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 10 March 4, 2020 Commercial and Light Industrial Revenues Garaventa projected a 1.5 percent change in commercial cart/bin revenues between 2018 and 2019 and an 11.0 percent increase in industrial (debris box revenues) between 2018 and 2019. We adjusted the 2019 commercial and light industrial revenue projection to base it on the formula in Exhibit III-3, or the following formula: Estimated commercial and light industrial revenues in the “Current Year” multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in commercial revenues over the prior two years (7.54% increase for commercial and 16.69% for industrial). To account for the additional one-year delay, and to project 2020 commercial and light industrial revenues, we added a slight increase from 2019 revenues based on the average of the prior two years of account growth for the commercial sector (1.07%) and the prior two years of tonnage growth in the industrial sector (1.84%) to arrive at commercial revenues of $1,461,229 and light industrial revenues of $469,450. Net Impact: [Decrease of $211,039 in the revenue requirement] Recycling Revenues In the Application, Garaventa projected $0 in recycling revenues for 2019. Garaventa proposed that a recycling surcharge be added on to the rates charged in the County franchise area consistent with the approach approved by other local franchise agencies to help offset increases in recycling costs. Based on the current poor economic marketplace for recyclable material sales (caused largely by the recent changes in the contamination limits and bans on the types of recycled materials accepted by China), and after further review and documentation provided by Garaventa for its Mt. Diablo Recycling (MDR) facility, we determined that the company is operating at a material net loss in terms of net County recycling revenues. Historically, the County and Garaventa have agreed to use a net $5 per ton revenue figure for recycled materials sales (as specified in the Manual). Rather than considering adoption of the proposed recycling surcharge, the Rate Manual provides the County with an alternative approach that County staff believes to be more appropriate for consideration. At the County’s discretion, the County can use an alternative to the $5 per ton net recycling revenue figure. The County can instead allow Garaventa to include the revenues (i.e., commodity sales) and separately the costs associated with processing curbside recycled materials within the Application (see the Manual Exhibit III-3, page 66). County staff identified a willingness to recommend approval of this change in County rate setting policy contingent upon Garaventa agreeing to amend the Franchise Agreement to provide enhanced on-call pick-up services at no additional charge. For purposes of this Analysis, and based on County staff’s intention to recommend approval of this rate setting policy change and associated service enhancements in response to the poor recycling climate, we used this alternative option, whereby the curbside recycling revenues (line 20) and processing costs (line 5c) are included separately for the Analysis.3 Recycled material sales are equal to the commingled rate received for the material of $29.30 per ton multiplied by a total of 2,521.97 tons of County recyclable materials. This equaled $73,892. We verified that these revenue per ton figures were consistent with revenue per ton figures received by other jurisdictions using the MDR facility. 3 Note that staff agreed to request consideration of the alternative approach of using the revenues and costs associated with processing recycled materials as described in the Manual (Exhibit II-3, page 1 of 3, page 66), due to the extraordinary circumstances associated with the recycling market place at this time. However, recommended approval of this change in rate setting policy will be contingent upon Garaventa agreeing to amend the existing Franchise Agreement to provide for two new on-call pick-up services at no additional charge to the County or its ratepayers. The two new on-call services are pick-up of one bulky item per residential customer per year and a fixed number of annual pick-ups for illegally dumped roadside debris. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 11 March 4, 2020 Additionally, Cal Recycle made a supplemental payment to Garaventa for curbside recycling equal to $17,500.90 in early 2019. This amount was not originally included in the Application. We added this $17,500.90 amount to recycling revenues. Net Impact: [Decrease of $91,393 in the revenue requirement] ii. Costs Escalation Factor In accordance with Exhibit III-3, some cost categories are escalated using the average annual compound rate of change in the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward area CPI (all items, all urban consumers) over the past three years.4 The average compound rate of change for the April to April CPI from 2015 to 2018 was 3.20 percent [(283.422/257.622) raised to the 1/3rd power minus 1]. Allowable Costs Direct Labor Garaventa projected labor costs to increase 2.1 percent for 2019. Using Exhibit III-3, we adjusted the direct labor projection based on updating current year direct labor costs and use of the following set of labor-related formulas: Estimated direct labor wages in the “Current Year” multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in direct labor wages over the prior two years (1.3% increase) Estimated direct labor payroll taxes in the “Current Year” multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in direct labor payroll taxes over the prior two years (-2.8% decrease) Estimated direct labor health and welfare costs in the “Current Year” multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in direct labor health and welfare costs over the prior two years (-2.9% decrease) Estimated direct labor workers compensation costs in the “Current Year” multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in direct labor workers compensation costs over the prior two years (-3.8% decrease) Estimated direct labor pension costs in the “Current Year” multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in direct labor pension costs over the prior two years (-6.1% decrease). The combination of using the above methodology reduced 2019 direct labor costs by $24,441. Net Impact: [Decrease of $24,441 in the revenue requirement] Tipping Fees (Profit Allowed) Tipping fees charged to County ratepayers reflect costs of operating the Recycling Center and Transfer Station (RCTS) and the costs of disposal at Keller Canyon Landfill. The rate charged to Garaventa franchised customers at this facility for all combined waste is $103.63 per ton for 2018. The tipping fee rate for all combined waste is projected to increase to $106.64 per ton beginning in 2019. 4 Note that In January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BSA) made a minor adjustment to the geographic area included in the applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. The BSA changed the geographic area used from the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area to the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward area. While this new San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward area represents the applicable CPI data set after January 1, 2018, this data set also retains the previous San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose data prior to January 2018. Beginning January 2018, the BSA no longer provides a San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose geographic area CPI. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 12 March 4, 2020 Tipping fees are allowed with profit up to $45.00 per ton. Amounts above $45.00 per ton are treated as a pass-through expense. The Manual specifies a cap on tipping fees allowed with profit at $45.00 per ton. Tipping fees in excess of $45.00 per ton are treated as a pass-through expense. We determined that the tonnage for the current year, 2018, included in this calculation equaled 17,062. This tonnage was based on annualizing six months of year to date 2018 tonnage data. This represents a small projected increase in refuse tonnage by approximately 20 tons from 2017. Tipping fees projected in the Application for 2019 were $1,805,603. Of this total, the Application specified $788,680 of these fees as an allowable expense with profit and $1,016,923 as a pass-through expense. Using Exhibit III-3, we adjusted the tipping fee projection based on use of the following formula: Use of verified tipping fee rate multiplied by the projected Base Year disposal tonnage. The Base Year disposal tonnage is equal to the estimated Current Year disposal tonnage multiplied by one plus the average annual compounded rate of change in disposal tonnage over the prior two years, by company and material type, resulting in projected tonnage for 2019 of 16,777 rather than the 17,062 figure in the Application. Using a tipping fee rate of $106.64 per ton, the resulting total tipping fees are $1,757,149 for 2019, including $754,983 in tipping fees allowed with profit, and $1,002,166 in pass through tipping fees. Net Impact: [Decrease of $33,698 in the revenue requirement (for tipping fees with profit)] Corporate and Local General and Administrative (G&A) Costs Based on the guidance in Exhibit III-3 (in aggregate), we adjusted the G&A projection using the following formula: Estimated G&A costs based on the average of actual G&A costs in the prior two years multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in the April to April CPI over the prior three years (3.20%). The Manual specifies a cap on corporate and local general and administrative costs equal to 12.2 percent of the total revenue requirement. Projected 2019 corporate and local general and administrative costs of $807,369 are approximately 11.2 percent of the revenue requirement and within the cap guideline. Net Impact: [Increase in the revenue requirement of $1,466] Depreciation and Other Operating Costs Using Exhibit III-3, we adjusted the depreciation and other operating cost projection based on use of the following formula: Estimated deprecation costs in the Current Year multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in deprecation costs over the prior two years (0.54%). Net Impact: [Decrease in the revenue requirement of $13,439] Recycling Software The County and Garaventa agreed to share a portion of the cost to purchase and routinely update new Recyclist software to be used company-wide to track the implementation of mandatory commercial recycling and organics services. The software will be used by County staff to track communication with customers as well as monitor and report compliance status of the covered commercial generators in Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 13 March 4, 2020 unincorporated areas, as required by State law. In addition to the one-time purchase, this cost includes quarterly uploads of updated customer information to reflect current levels of service and history of customer communication/contact. An amount of $1,170 is included in the Application which represents a proportional share of the total cost allocated based on the number of commercial accounts in the unincorporated County Franchise area in relation to the total number of commercial accounts served by the company. Net Impact: [Increase in the revenue requirement of $1,170] Additional Diversion Specialist The County and Garaventa agreed to add a share of this position to support additional commercial recycling and organic recovery efforts in the County. This represents a proportional share of the total cost of the individual, or $5,213. The allocation is based on the number of commercial accounts in the unincorporated County Franchise area in relation to the total number of commercial accounts served by the company. Net Impact: [Increase in the revenue requirement of $5,213] Cost of Processing Recycled Materials As indicated above, at the County Board of Supervisor’s discretion, the County can use an alternative to the $5 per ton net recycling revenue figure. The County can instead allow Garaventa to include the revenues (i.e., recycled commodity sales) and separately the costs associated with processing curbside recycled materials within the Application (see the Manual Exhibit III-3, page 66). For purposes of this Analysis, and due to the poor recycling climate, we used this alternative option, whereby the curbside recycling revenues (line 20) and processing costs (line 5c) are included separately. We determined that the current processing cost per ton at Mt. Diablo Recycling, for recycling County materials was $157.66 per ton based on a detailed analysis of the fixed and variable costs of the MDR facility which were then allocated to the County. Based on the total annual County recycled materials tonnage of 2,521.97, we project the current annual costs of processing County recycled materials to equal $397,613. Note that these costs are offset by recycled revenues, as described above, of $91,393, resulting in a net processing cost of $121.42 per ton. [Increase in the revenue requirement of $397,613] Services Provided to County Within the aggregated costs to serve the County which are included elsewhere in the Application, Garaventa included costs totaling $102,398 to provide certain “free services”. Only a portion of those costs ($37,636) are for allowable free services provided to the County in the form of servicing debris boxes provided for community clean-ups arranged by the County. The County’s Franchise Agreement obligates Garaventa to service ten 20-cubic yard debris boxes per year for community clean-ups. The current Franchise requirement is equivalent to five of the forty 40-cubic yard boxes actually served in 2018 (totaling $6,486). County staff agreed to recommend inclusion of the additional $31,151 annual cost to support a higher on-going level of community clean-up box services contingent upon the Franchise Agreement being amended to require that County be provided with forty 40-cubic yard community clean- up boxes per year upon request. The remaining costs are for either routine services ($9,425) or debris box services ($55,337) the company donated to other agencies or organizations. These donated services are not considered allowable “free services” to the County in accordance with language in the Franchise. We therefore removed $64,762 of these costs from the rate base. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 14 March 4, 2020 Net Impact: [Decrease in the revenue requirement of $64,762] Pass Through Costs County Administrative Fee In the Application, Garaventa included Hazardous Waste Fees in this line item. We moved Hazardous Waste Fees to a separate line item (shown as a new Line 9a in Exhibit D-1). The remaining amount of $2,626 for 2018 represents AB 939 fees paid to the County on each ton of disposable waste collected within the County service area. Since the solid waste collected within the County service area will be disposed of at an in-County landfill, AB 939 fees no longer need to be paid directly to the County by Garaventa. Since AB 939 fees will cease being paid by Garaventa and instead paid to the County directly by the landfill operator in 2020, the remaining amount of $2,626 was deducted from this line item. Net Impact: [Decrease in the revenue requirement of $2,626] Household Hazardous Waste Fees We used Exhibit III-3 to adjust the HHW Fee cost projection based on use of the following formula: Average of actual Household Hazardous Waste Fees in the prior two years ($49,995) multiplied by one plus the average annual compound rate of change in the April to April CPI over the prior three years (3.20 percent). Net Impact: [Decrease in the revenue requirement of $2,581] Trucking and Equipment Costs We verified the trucking and equipment costs by reviewing lease expenses charged by SEG Trucking to County customers and based on additional more current SEG trucking lease schedules, we found a supportable amount of $2,013,140 rather than the $2,117,584 amount in the Application. This was based on a verifiable SEG lease rate multiplied by the number of equipment pieces/items. Net Impact: [Decrease in the revenue requirement of $104,444] Tipping Fees (Pass-Through) Most of the discussion related to tipping fees is provided above under Tipping Fees (with Profit). The above analysis resulting in a decrease in tipping fees (pass through) of $14,756. Net Impact: [Decrease in the revenue requirement of $14,756 (for tipping fees, pass through)] Franchise Fees The County franchise agreement with Garaventa specifies that the County can establish an amount equal to “a percentage of Contractor’s [Garaventa’s] Gross Annual Revenues” with the “amount, time and frequency of payment of such fees established by the County.” The franchise fee paid by Garaventa to the County is currently equal to seven (7) percent of gross revenues. Gross revenues include all residential, commercial, and light industrial refuse and recycling revenue. Franchise fees are a pass through expense which do not earn profit. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 15 March 4, 2020 Garaventa included a franchise fee of seven (7) percent for the 2019 projection. We adjusted franchise fees based on other findings noted above that modified the revenue requirement. Net Impact: [Increase in the revenue requirement of $13,143 for other findings in this report] iii. Profits Total allowable costs for the projection year 2019 are $3,256,406. The Manual specifies that should the operating ratio for the base year fall between 88 percent and 92 percent, rates would remain unchanged in the base year. Table 8 shows the operating ratio calculation for 2019. Without any changes to rates, the company would receive an operating ratio of 98 percent. In accordance with the Manual, because this operating ratio falls outside the 88 to 92 percent range, rates are reset for a 90 percent operating ratio.5 The operating ratio calculation is as follows: Operating Ratio (OR) = Total Allowable Costs Total Allowable Costs + Allowable Operating Profit The OR calculation is shown in Table 9, following Table 8. We calculate allowable profit of $361,823, at the allowable 90 percent operating ratio. Net Impact: [Increase to the revenue requirement of $29,903] Table 8 Garaventa Enterprises Calculation of Actual Operating Ratio Description Amount Total Revenues (line 21) $ 7,104,762 Less Total Allowable Costs (line 6) (3,256,406) Less Franchise Fees (line 23) (503,182) Less Pass-Through Costs (line 12) (3,066,901) Equals Profit (Loss) (with adjustments and no rebasing) $ 278,273 Operating Ratio (with adjustments and no rebasing) $3,256,406 / ($3,256,406 + $278,273) = 92.13% Table 9 Allowable Profit Calculation Description Amount (Total Allowable Costs / Operating Ratio) – Total Allowable Costs = Allowable Operating Profit ($3,256,406 / 90 percent) - $3,256,406 = $361,823 5 Source: Rate Setting Manual, page 18. Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 16 March 4, 2020 With the company’s profit level rebased to 90 percent, we calculate a rate increase of 1.19 percent. This is shown in the Adjusted Base Year 2019 column (line 26) of Exhibit D-1 in Attachment D. In addition to the 1.19 percent rate increase, we also applied a CPI-increase of 3.22 percent to increased rates calculated for 2020. This CPI increase is intended to account for the Manual provision which allows Garaventa to adjust rates up to the CPI in interim years (Section IV B., page 81) and for 2020 Garaventa would be allowed this CPI in a typical interim year. The applicable CPI calculation, of 3.22 percent, is shown in Attachment E. In total, we calculate a 4.45 percent rate increase for 2020 (equal to 1.19 percent multiplied by 1+3.22 percent). 4. Components of Residential Rates There are a number of cost components which are included in residential rates. Using the 32-gallon residential cart rate as an example, the pie chart in Figure 1 shows the major components of the projected 2019 rates, and the relative costs of each component. Line item references are made to the Application. Table 10 shows that the components of the single can rate have remained relatively stable over time since 2003. Cost categories are described below: Direct Labor includes compensation of the waste removal staff, including regular time, overtime, payroll taxes, and benefits. This category corresponds to Direct Labor (Line 1) of the adjusted application. Tipping Fees include all charges for disposal of solid waste at a landfill or transfer station, which are projected at $106.64 per ton (for all combined materials). A cap on the allowable expense portion of tipping fees is set at $45.00 per ton. The remaining fees between $45.00 and $106.64 per ton are treated as a pass-through expense. These tipping fees also include transportation costs from the transfer station to the landfill. This category corresponds to Tipping Fees with Profit (Line 2) and Tipping Fees (Pass- Through) (Line 11) of the adjusted application. Corporate and Local General and Administrative Costs include accounting, office space rental, utilities, office supplies, legal services, insurance, postage, etc. for Garaventa. These costs are identified as Corporate and Local General and Administrative Costs (Line 3), Services Provided to County (Line 5), County Administrative Fees (Line 9), and Household Hazardous Waste Fees (Line 9a) of the adjusted application. Trucking and Equipment includes depreciation and leases of trucks, fuel expenses, licenses, parts, tires, and repair and maintenance expenses. These costs are identified as Trucking and Equipment (Line 10) and Depreciation and Other Operating Costs (Line 4) of the adjusted application. Profit is any revenue which exceeds expenses (total allowable costs plus total pass-through costs). The operating ratio method is used to determine allowable profit, as discussed in the profit analysis section of this report. Profit is shown in Line 8 of the adjusted application. County’s Franchise Fee is 7.0 percent of total residential/curbside recycling, commercial, and light industrial revenues. Franchise fees are shown in Line 23 of the adjusted application.

Comparison of Rates and Services to Other Neighboring Jurisdictions Existing Garaventa unincorporated County rates were compared with survey data from other County franchise areas and a sample of neighboring jurisdictions. Results of the survey are summarized in Attachment F. Tables F-1 through F-3 show how current Garaventa unincorporated rates compare to the average of the other incorporated and unincorporated areas surveyed. In Table F-1, we compare the Garaventa unincorporated County residential rates with averages of the other franchise areas surveyed. Compared to the other franchise areas, current Garaventa unincorporated rates were mixed relative to average, with rates above average for smaller container sizes and below average for larger container sizes. The proposed 20 and 32 gallon rates are between 13 percent and 20 percent above the average of other comparative incorporated jurisdictions surveyed, and between 15 percent and 30 percent below the average of 64 and 96 gallon rates of incorporated areas surveyed. Garaventa residential rates compared similarly with four other unincorporated County areas, Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 18 March 4, 2020 with rates significantly above average for 20 and 32 gallon service and below average for 64 and 96 gallon service. For the commercial (bin) sector, as shown in Table F-2, Garaventa’s unincorporated County rates were about equivalent to the average rates in other comparative incorporated jurisdictions. Rates ranged from 1 percent above to 8 percent below the average of other incorporated areas surveyed. Gavaventa commercial bin rates were between 26 percent below and 43 percent above the average of other unincorporated County areas surveyed depending on service level. For the 20 cubic yard industrial (debris box) rate, as shown in Table F-3, Garaventa unincorporated County rates were about equivalent to the average of surveyed jurisdictions. This comparison is based on a representative four (4) ton load. * * * * * This Analysis is substantially different from an audit, examination, or review in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, the objective of which is to express an opinion regarding Garaventa financial statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The consulting services did not contemplate obtaining the understanding of Garaventa internal controls or assessing control risk, tests of accounting records and responses to inquiries by obtaining corroborating evidential matter, and certain other procedures ordinarily performed during an audit or examination. Thus, this engagement was not intended to provide assurance that we would become aware of significant matters that would be disclosed in an audit or examination.

Concord, California We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Delta Debris Box Service, Inc. (a California S Corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delta Debris Box Service, Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has an amount due from a related party totaling $2,489,868 as of December 31, 2018 classified as a non-current asset which management is evaluating the nature of how it will be settled. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Carson City, Nevada May 17, 2019 DELTA DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -9- NOTE 1 – GENERAL Nature of Business – Delta Debris Box Service, Inc. (the “Company.”) was incorporated on June 26, 2001. The Company is primarily engaged in the hauling and disposal of refuse collected in debris boxes in Contra Costa County, California. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies of Delta Debris Box Service, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Basis of Accounting – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounts Receivable – The carrying value of the receivables represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company considers all receivables to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for uncollectible amounts receivable has been recorded. When, and if, receivables are considered to be uncollectible, amounts are charged directly against earnings and a credit is made to accounts receivable. No significant accounts were written off against earnings during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Long-Lived Assets – The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. To date, no such impairment has been indicated. Revenue Recognition – Revenues consist primarily of billings for the hauling and disposal of refuse collected in debris boxes. Revenues are generally recognized when they become both measurable and available. Income Taxes – The Company provides for the federal and state income tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements. The provision includes taxes currently due plus deferred state income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. The temporary differences relate primarily to amortization and net operating losses available to offset future taxable income (differences in methods used for financial statement and income tax purposes). DELTA DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -10- NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED) The Company, with consent of its stockholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code (and comparable state regulations) to be an “S” corporation for the tax years beginning January 1, 2001 and thereafter. In lieu of federal corporate income taxes the stockholders of an “S” corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s net taxable income or loss. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes will be recognized in future periods, and no assets or liabilities for the future effects of federal income taxes are included on the balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The franchise tax laws of the State of California provide for a tax at the reduced rate of 1.5% for “S” corporations. Accordingly, the Company has included in the provision for income taxes estimates of the state income taxes currently due and the deferred state income taxes relative to the temporary timing differences described above. The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. Generally, the tax years before 2015 and 2014 are no longer subject to examination by federal and California authorities, respectively. Leases – Leases which meet certain criteria are classified as capital leases, and assets and liabilities are recorded at amounts equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the lease properties at the beginning of the respective lease terms. Such assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives or over the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Interest expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to effect constant rates of interest over the terms of the leases. Leases which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and related rentals are charged to expense as incurred. Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in preparing the financial statements include those used in recording liabilities for litigation claims and costs for probable and estimatable losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and it is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended the Accounting Standards Codification and created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for nonpublic entities for annual reporting periods beginning DELTA DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -11- NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED) after December 15, 2018 and must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for nonpublic entities for an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently assessing the method of adoption and the potential impact this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases). Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The new standard is effective for entities other than public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company has not determined the effect the adoption of this lease accounting guidance will have on its financial position or results of operations. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 associated with the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The amended guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. The amended guidance is effective for the Companies on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019. The Companies are assessing the provisions of this amended guidance and evaluating the impact on its financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), which requires companies that offer postretirement benefits to present the service cost, which is the amount an employer has to set aside each quarter or fiscal year to cover the benefits, in the same line item with other current employee compensation costs. Other components of net benefit cost will be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Nonpublic companies must follow the accounting changes for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2018, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. DELTA DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -12- NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES Income tax expense consists of the following at December 31: 2018 2017 Current tax expense: State 6,897$ 5,428$ Total provision 6,897$ 5,428$ The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying California statutory rates to income before income taxes due to certain permanent differences, such as meals and entertainment, which are not tax deductible. NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Credit Facility – The Company with its affiliates (the “Companies”) have a revolving credit facility collateralized by substantially all of their assets. The current facility has a $40,000,000 revolving credit facility that matures on July 6, 2021 (the “Facility”). All outstanding loans on the facility are reported by an affiliated company. As of December 31, 2018, the total commitment balance was $40,000,000 and the undrawn amount under the Facility was $7,645,000. The Companies are required, among other provisions, to maintain certain financial ratios and to limit additional debt and asset acquisitions, unless specifically approved by the bank. In the normal course of business there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments under previous and existing garbage collection contracts and contingent liabilities arising from threatened and pending litigation. Environmental Risks – The Company is subject to extensive and evolving federal, state and local environmental, health, safety and transportation laws and regulations. Under these current laws and regulations, the Company may be subject to liability for any environmental damage that its collection and disposal operations may cause to neighboring landowners or residents, particularly as a result of the contamination of soil, groundwater or surface water, and especially drinking water, including damage resulting from conditions existing prior to the liability for any off-site environmental contamination caused by pollutants or hazardous substances whose transportation, or disposal was arranged by the Company. Any substantial liability for environmental damage incurred by the Company could have a materially adverse effect on the Company financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. As of December 31, 2018, the Company is not aware of any such environmental liabilities. DELTA DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC.

The balance due from Mallard, presented as due from related party, is $2,489,868 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Management is evaluating the collectability of the balance. The nature of how the asset will be settled has not been determined as of the date of the auditors’ report. NOTE 6 – PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company provides a 401(k) retirement plan covering all non-union employees with one or more years of service and who have reached the age twenty and one-half years. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions for the benefit of its employees. Discretionary contributions for the non-union employees’ 401(k) plan was $372 and $361 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Union employees are covered under the union’s pension plan. As of December 31, 2018, the Company makes contributions to a collectively bargained, multiemployer defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”). The Company is required to contribute amounts per employee hour to the Plan, as determined by the terms of the union contract. The Plan’s administrator does not provide sufficient information to enable the Company to determine its share, if any, of the Plan’s assets or unfunded vested benefits. The summary of the Plan is as follows: Surcharge Pension Plan Name EIN/PN 2018 2017 2018 2017 Imposed Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan 91-6145047/001 Green Green 128,365$ 88,194$ Yes Pension Protection Act Zone Status Contributions Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan – As of October 15, 2018, the date for which the most recent publicly made available correspondence letter from the plan’s actuary to the Internal Revenue Service, the plan is not currently subject to any funding improvement or rehabilitation period or plan. The expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreement requiring contribution to the plan is February 28, 2020. The contributions do not represent more than 5 percent of the total contributions to the Plan as indicated in the Plan’s most recently available Form 5500. DELTA DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -15- NOTE 6 – PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS – (CONTINUED) In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company also provides certain health care benefits for retired employees covered by the union agreement. The current agreement requires the Company to pay $258 per month for medical insurance premiums for non-Medicare eligible retirees and their non- Medicare eligible spouses and $25 per month for Medicare eligible retirees and their Medicare eligible spouse for the duration of the contract. Substantially all of the Company's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company. This and similar benefits are provided for active employees. The Company funds the benefit cost on a pay- as-you-go basis, accordingly, there are no plan assets. The effect of the health care cost trend is not applicable because the benefit amount is a fixed sum independent of health care cost changes. The Company recognizes the cost of providing these benefits by expensing the annual insurance premiums. For 2018 and 2017, there were no eligible retirees; therefore, the cost of providing those benefits for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is $0. NOTE 7 – CONCENTRATIONS Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade receivables. At times, cash in banks is in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any loss as a result of those deposits and does not expect any in the future. Concentration of Labor Force – A significant portion of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 315, which expires February 28, 2020. Concentration of Risk – The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from customers in the San Francisco Bay Area. As such, the Company’s revenue and operations can be negatively impacted by the San Francisco Bay Area economy. NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the report, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. Management noted no significant events subsequent to the balance sheet date.

Concord, California We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Discovery Bay Disposal, Inc. (a California S Corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Discovery Bay Disposal, Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -9- NOTE 1 – GENERAL Nature of Business – Discovery Bay Disposal, Inc. (the “Company.”) was incorporated on June 26, 2001. The Company is primarily engaged in the solid waste collection and recycling business. The Company provides services under an exclusive agreement to the area of Discovery Bay in Eastern Contra Costa County, California. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies of Discovery Bay Disposal, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Basis of Accounting – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounts Receivable –The carrying value of the receivables represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company considers all receivables to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for uncollectible amounts receivable has been recorded. When, and if, receivables are considered to be uncollectible, amounts are charged directly against earnings and a credit is made to accounts receivable. There were no significant accounts written off against earnings during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Equipment – Equipment is recorded at historical cost in the financial statements. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which is seven to ten years. Long-Lived Assets – The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. To date, no such impairment has been indicated. Revenue Recognition – Revenues are generated from the fees charged for waste and recycling collection and recycling sales. The fees charged for the services are generally defined in the service agreements and vary based on contract specific terms such as frequency of service, weight, volume and the general market factors influencing the region’s rates. The Company generally recognizes revenue as services are performed or when materials are delivered. For example, revenue typically is recognized as waste is collected. The Company bills for certain services prior to performance. Cash collections on these advance billings are included in deferred income and recognized as revenue in the period service is provided. DISCOVERY BAY DISPOSAL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -10- NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED) Income Taxes – The Company provides for the state income tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements. The provision includes taxes currently due plus deferred state income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. The temporary differences relate primarily to amortization, depreciation and net operating losses available to offset future taxable income (differences in methods used for financial statement and income tax purposes). The Company, with consent of its stockholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code (and comparable state regulations) to be an “S” corporation for the tax years beginning January 1, 2001 and thereafter. In lieu of federal corporate income taxes the stockholders of an “S” corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s net taxable income or loss. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes will be recognized in future periods, and no assets or liabilities for the future effects of federal income taxes are included on the balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The franchise tax laws of the State of California provide for a tax at the reduced rate of 1.5% for “S” corporations. Accordingly, the Company has included in the provision for income taxes estimates of the state income taxes currently due and the deferred state income taxes relative to the temporary timing differences described above. The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. Generally, the tax years before 2015 and 2014 are no longer subject to examination by federal and California authorities, respectively. Leases – Leases which meet certain criteria are classified as capital leases, and assets and liabilities are recorded at amounts equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the lease properties at the beginning of the respective lease terms. Such assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives or over the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Interest expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to effect constant rates of interest over the terms of the leases. Leases which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and related rentals are charged to expense as incurred. Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in preparing the financial statements include those used in recording liabilities for litigation claims and costs for probable and estimable losses. Actual results DISCOVERY BAY DISPOSAL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -11- NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED) could differ from those estimates, and it is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended the Accounting Standards Codification and created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for nonpublic entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for nonpublic entities for an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently assessing the method of adoption and the potential impact this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases). Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The new standard is effective for entities other than public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company has not determined the effect the adoption of this lease accounting guidance will have on its financial position or results of operations. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 associated with the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The amended guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. The amended guidance is effective for the Companies on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019. The Companies are assessing the provisions of this amended guidance and evaluating the impact on its financial statements. DISCOVERY BAY DISPOSAL, INC.

Other components of net benefit cost will be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Nonpublic companies must follow the accounting changes for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2018, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, due to the numerous complex rules, orders and interpretations governing environmental protection, health, safety, land use, zoning, transportation and related matters, among other things, the Company’s operations may incur additional unanticipated costs. The costs of complying with these regulations could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: limitations on siting and constructing new waste disposal, transfer or processing facilities or expanding existing facilities; limitations, regulations or levies on collection and disposal prices, rates and volumes; limitations or bans on disposal or transportation of out-of-state waste or certain categories of waste; price volatility of recycling commodities; or mandates regarding the disposal of solid waste.

NOTE 8 – PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company provides a 401(k) retirement plan covering all non-union employees with one or more years of service and who have reached the age twenty and one-half years. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions for the benefit of its employees. Discretionary contributions for the non-union employees’ 401(k) plan was $5,856 and $5,948 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Union employees are covered under the union’s pension plan. As of December 31, 2018, the Company makes contributions to a collectively bargained, multiemployer defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”). The Company is required to contribute amounts per employee hour to the Plan, as determined by the terms of the union contract. The Plan’s administrator does not provide sufficient information to enable the Company to determine its share, if any, of the Plan’s assets or unfunded vested benefits. The summary of the Plan is as follows: Surcharge Pension Plan Name EIN/PN 2018 2017 2018 2017 Imposed Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan 91-6145047/001 Green Green 26,123$ 250$ Yes Pension Protection Act Zone Status Contributions Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan – As of October 15, 2018, the date for which the most recent publicly made available correspondence letter from the plan’s actuary to the Internal Revenue Service, the plan is not currently subject to any funding improvement or rehabilitation period or plan.

The contributions do not represent more than 5 percent of the total contributions to the Plan as indicated in the Plan’s most recently available Form 5500. DISCOVERY BAY DISPOSAL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -16- NOTE 8 – PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS – (CONTINUED) In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company also provides certain health care benefits for retired employees covered by the union agreement. The current agreement requires the Company to pay $258 per month for medical insurance premiums for non-Medicare eligible retirees and their non- Medicare eligible spouses and $25 per month for Medicare eligible retirees and their Medicare eligible spouse for the duration of the contract. Substantially all of the Company's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company. This and similar benefits are provided for active employees. The Company funds the benefit cost on a pay- as-you-go basis, accordingly, there are no plan assets. The effect of the health care cost trend is not applicable because the benefit amount is a fixed sum independent of health care cost changes. The Company recognizes the cost of providing these benefits by expensing the annual insurance premiums. There was one eligible retiree that became eligible during 2017 and remained eligible during 2018; therefore, the cost of providing those benefits for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $6,192 and $3,096, respectively. NOTE 9 – CONCENTRATIONS Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade receivables. At times, cash in banks is in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any loss as a result of those deposits and does not expect any in the future. Concentration of Labor Force – A significant portion of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 315, which expires February 28, 2020. Concentration of Risk – The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from customers in the San Francisco Bay Area. As such, the Company’s revenue and operations can be negatively impacted by the San Francisco Bay Area economy. NOTE 10 – FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS The Company entered into a franchise agreement with Contra Costa County in May 1995 to provide refuse collection services to the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County.

Concord, California We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Pittsburg Disposal & Debris Box Service, Inc. (a California S Corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pittsburg Disposal & Debris Box Service, Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Carson City, Nevada May 17, 2019 PITTSBURG DISPOSAL & DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -9- NOTE 1 – GENERAL Nature of Business – Pittsburg Disposal & Debris Box Service, Inc. (the “Company.”) was incorporated on July 1, 1980. The Company is primarily engaged in the solid waste collection and recycling business in and around the City of Pittsburg operating under agreements with the City of Pittsburg and Contra Costa County, California. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies of Pittsburg Disposal & Debris Box Service, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Basis of Accounting – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounts Receivable –The carrying value of the receivables represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company considers all receivables to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for uncollectible amounts receivable has been recorded. When, and if, receivables are considered to be uncollectible, amounts are charged directly against earnings and a credit is made to accounts receivable. No significant accounts were written off against earnings during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost in the financial statements. Depreciation is provided using straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful lives as follows: Refuse containers 5 – 7 years Furniture and fixtures 5 – 7 years Leasehold improvements 7 – 15 years Long-Lived Assets – The carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. To date, no such impairment has been indicated. Revenue Recognition – Revenues are generated from the fees charged for waste and recycling collection and recycling sales. The fees charged for the services are generally defined in the service agreements and vary based on contract specific terms such as frequency of service, weight, volume and the general market factors influencing the region’s rates. The Company generally recognizes revenue PITTSBURG DISPOSAL & DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -10- NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED) as services are performed or when materials are delivered. For example, revenue typically is recognized as waste is collected. The Company bills for certain services prior to performance. Cash collections on these advance billings are included in deferred income and recognized as revenue in the period service is provided. Income Taxes – The Company provides for the federal and state income tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements. The provision includes taxes currently due plus deferred state income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. The temporary differences relate primarily to depreciation and net operating losses available to offset future taxable income (differences in methods used for financial statement and income tax purposes). The Company, with consent of its stockholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code (and comparable state regulations) to be an “S” corporation on December 17, 1986 for the tax years beginning 1986 and thereafter. In lieu of federal corporate income taxes the stockholders of an “S” corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s net taxable income or loss. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes will be recognized in future periods, and no assets or liabilities for the future effects of federal income taxes are included on the balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The franchise tax laws of the State of California provide for a tax at the reduced rate of 1.5% for “S” corporations. Accordingly, the Company has included in the provision for income taxes estimates of the state income taxes currently due and the deferred state income taxes relative to the temporary timing differences described above. The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. Generally, the tax years before 2015 and 2014 are no longer subject to examination by federal and California authorities, respectively. Leases – Leases which meet certain criteria are classified as capital leases, and assets and liabilities are recorded at amounts equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the lease properties at the beginning of the respective lease terms. Such assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives or over the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Interest expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to effect constant rates of interest over the terms of the leases. Leases which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and related rentals are charged to expense as incurred. PITTSBURG DISPOSAL & DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -11- NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED) Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in preparing the financial statements include those used in recording liabilities for litigation claims and costs for probable and estimatable losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and it is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended the Accounting Standards Codification and created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for nonpublic entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for nonpublic entities for an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently assessing the method of adoption and the potential impact this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases). Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The new standard is effective for entities other than public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company has not determined the effect the adoption of this lease accounting guidance will have on its financial position or results of operations. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 associated with the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The amended guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. The amended guidance is effective for the Company on PITTSBURG DISPOSAL & DEBRIS BOX SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -12- NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED) January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is assessing the provisions of this amended guidance and evaluating the impact on its financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), which requires companies that offer postretirement benefits to present the service cost, which is the amount an employer has to set aside each quarter or fiscal year to cover the benefits, in the same line item with other current employee compensation costs. Other components of net benefit cost will be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Nonpublic companies must follow the accounting changes for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2018, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact this guidance may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -14- NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – (CONTINUED) Environmental Risks – The Company is subject to extensive and evolving federal, state and local environmental, health, safety and transportation laws and regulations. Under these current laws and regulations, the Company may be subject to liability for any environmental damage that its collection and disposal operations may cause to neighboring landowners or residents, particularly as a result of the contamination of soil, groundwater or surface water, and especially drinking water, including damage resulting from conditions existing prior to the liability for any off-site environmental contamination caused by pollutants or hazardous substances whose transportation, or disposal was arranged by the Company. Any substantial liability for environmental damage incurred by the Company could have a materially adverse effect on the Company financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. As of December 31, 2018, the Company is not aware of any such environmental liabilities. In addition, due to the numerous complex rules, orders and interpretations governing environmental protection, health, safety, land use, zoning, transportation and related matters, among other things, the Company’s operations may incur additional unanticipated costs. The costs of complying with these regulations could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: limitations on siting and constructing new waste disposal, transfer or processing facilities or expanding existing facilities; limitations, regulations or levies on collection and disposal prices, rates and volumes; limitations or bans on disposal or transportation of out-of-state waste or certain categories of waste; price volatility of recycling commodities; or mandates regarding the disposal of solid waste.

The Company is required to contribute amounts per employee hour to the Plan, as determined by the terms of the union contract. The Plan’s administrator does not provide sufficient information to enable the Company to determine its share, if any, of the Plan’s assets or unfunded vested benefits. The summary of the Plan is as follows: Surcharge Pension Plan Name EIN/PN 2018 2017 2018 2017 Imposed Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan 91-6145047/001 Green Green 158,531$ 96,202$ Yes Pension Protection Act Zone Status Contributions Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan – As of October 15, 2018, the date for which the most recent publicly made available correspondence letter from the plan’s actuary to the Internal Revenue Service, the plan is not currently subject to any funding improvement or rehabilitation period or plan.

The contributions do not represent more than 5 percent of the total contributions to the Plan as indicated in the Plan’s most recently available Form 5500. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company also provides certain health care benefits for retired employees covered by the union agreement. The current agreement requires the Company to pay $258 per month for medical insurance premiums for non-Medicare eligible retirees and their non- Medicare eligible spouses and $25 per month for Medicare eligible retirees and their Medicare eligible spouse for the duration of the contract. Substantially all of the Company's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 -17- NOTE 9 – PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS – (CONTINUED) as-you-go basis, accordingly, there are no plan assets. The effect of the health care cost trend is not applicable because the benefit amount is a fixed sum independent of health care cost changes. The Company recognizes the cost of providing these benefits by expensing the annual insurance premiums. For 2018 and 2017, there were four eligible retirees. The cost of providing those benefits for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $4,896 and $6,527. NOTE 10 – CONCENTRATIONS Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade receivables.

Concentration of Labor Force – A significant portion of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 315, which expires February 28, 2020. Concentration of Risk – The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from customers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:APPROVE an amendment to JEPA - Contra Costa County & City of Richmond for maintenance & repair of North Richmond Pump Station, N. Richmond area BACKGROUND: Built in 1974, the North Richmond Pump Station (Pump Station) provides flood protection of the North Richmond community which had a history of flooding. The community is composed of properties in the City of Richmond and unincorporated County. A Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement was executed on April 16, 1974, between the County and City of Richmond to split the cost of maintaining the Pump Station – City 39% and County 61%, since the Pump Station provides flood protection for residents of both jurisdictions. The Pump Station has four original engine driven pumps. Engine No. 4 became inoperable many years ago and was scavenged for parts over the years to keep the other three engines running. Towards the end of 2019, Engine No. 2 had major damage, rendering it inoperable. At the beginning of 2020, Engine No. 1 also suffered major damage and no longer operable. With only one running pump, the Pump Station is only capable of a fraction of the pumping capacity needed to prevent flooding of the North Richmond community. Since continued repair of the existing vintage Caterpillar industrial engines is not practical and nearly impossible, due to lack of parts, the only viable option is to replace the engines. With only one operational pump, there is great urgency to get the engines replaced before the beginning of the next rainy season, which typically is October. The County has ordered the replacement Caterpillar engines and associated equipment with delivery expected in September. With a declaration of emergency by the City of Richmond, the City can quickly move forward with hiring a vendor to provide the engineering, fabrication, installation, and commissioning of the new equipment. The City does not have the funds available unless the County advances monies to the City so they can pay the vendor. It is estimated that Richmond’s share of the project cost is $1,100,000. Richmond does not have the ability to pay 100% of its share of the project up front. The First Amendment to the JEPA provides that the County will pay up to $800,000 of Richmond’s share of the project cost to Richmond’s project contractor, and that Richmond will reimburse County for its 39% share of the project over the next four years. Under the JEPA amendment, the County has the right to approve the work and project invoices prior to making payment to Richmond’s project contractor. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this amendment is not approved, the installation of new pump engines will be delayed beyond the start of rainy season and the Pump Station will not have the pumping capacity to prevent flooding in the North Richmond community. ATTACHMENTS Original JEPA Amendment RECOMMENDATION(S): DECLARE the real property located at 2395 Greenwood Drive in San Pablo (the Property) to be surplus and not needed for the present or future needs of the County. APPROVE the donation of the Property to the City of San Pablo, a municipal corporation of the State of California (the City), as permitted by Government Code section 25365. AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement and all ancillary documents necessary to implement the transfer of the Property on behalf of the County. AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute a Grant Deed to transfer the Property to the City.

Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:APPROVE the Conveyance of real property - 2395 Greenwood Dr., San Pablo to the City of San Pablo. RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D) AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing, and a $25 fee to DCD for processing, the Notice of Exemption. DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause the Grant Deed to be recorded on behalf of the City of San Pablo in the office of the Clerk-Recorder. DECLARE that the Notice to Convey Real Property was duly published in the Contra Costa Times in compliance with Gov. Code section 6061. FISCAL IMPACT: The property was acquired from LAFCO at no cost; it is being transferred to the City of San Pablo at no cost. The cost of County staff time related to the transfer of the property will be reimbursed by the Rollingwood Wilart Park Recreation and Park District Fund. (Fund 374000) BACKGROUND: On January 18, 2018, the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) initiated proceedings to dissolve the Rollingwood Wilart Park Recreation and Park District (RWPRPD) following receipt of various reports that RWPRPD had closed its doors in 2016. LAFCO’s action was conditioned on the County stepping in as the successor agency. As the successor agency, the County became the owner of RWPRPD’s assets, including the subject property. The subject property is the site of a community center that was used for many years for recreation programs and events for the Rollingwood Community. The City of San Pablo intends to once again operate the community center for community purposes. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Property is not needed for County purposes. If the Property is not transferred to the City of San Pablo, the County will continue to own the Property and to be responsible for the cost of maintaining it. ATTACHMENTS Purchase and Sale Agreement 1 PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN PABLO AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTY This purchase and sale agreement (“Agreement”) is dated as of March 10, 2020, and is between the CITY OF SAN PABLO, a municipal corporation of the State of California (the “City”) and the COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, a political subdivision of the State of California (the “County”).

APN: 416-074-004 RECOMMENDATION(S): ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/195 authorizing the modification of operating hours for a number of Contra Costa County libraries from those approved under Resolution No. 2020/134 on June 16, 2020. FISCAL IMPACT: City revenues are expected to be significantly less than the $3.38 million included in the FY 2020/21 budget. This action represents a $567,000 revenue reduction from the City of Walnut Creek, which increases the $700,000 reduction of hours taken June 16, 2020 to a total of $1,267,000. This is the combined city revenue cut for FY 2020/21. As a result of the $567,000 reduction, library hours and staffing will be reduced as described below. BACKGROUND: County Library hours are funded from a combination of city revenues and an apportionment of countywide property tax revenue. The countywide property tax apportionment provides a base service level of 35 hours per week. Cities have historically contracted for extra hours on an annual basis.

As a result, these cities have requested to reduce their extra Library hours. To alleviate some of the scheduling impact, more effectively serve the public, and provide better coverage, the Library is recommending the attached revision to its operating hours. A companion action provides the staffing changes necessitated by the loss of revenue. Attachment A reflects the proposed operating hours, as well as the current hours, for all libraries in Contra Costa County. If approved these changes will be effective immediately. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Posted operating hours will not be reflective of each Libraries actual hours.

FISCAL IMPACT: None BACKGROUND: The County Administrator (CAO) is the administrator of emergency services and is in charge of the County’s emergency organization. Under the emergency powers granted to the CAO under Article 42-2.8 of County Ordinance Code, on June 29th, 2020, the CAO ordered the closure of the Antioch Library from June 29th, 2020 through July 15th, 2020. This action was taken in an effort to perform asbestos abatement in conjunction with the replacement of the HVAC unit. In May 2020, the City of Antioch awarded the Contra Costa County Library $195,000 to replace the HVAC unit at the Antioch Library. During this replacement, asbestos was discovered and the County Administrator was notified immediately. Closing the library is the only way to safely perform the APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 07/14/2020 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District IV Supervisor Federal D.

ATTESTED: July 14, 2020 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Stephanie Mello, Deputy cc: C.135 To:Board of Supervisors From:Melinda Cervantes, County Librarian Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:Ratify the County Administrator's Closure of the Antioch Library for Emergency Asbestos Abatement June 29, 2020 to July 15, 2020 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) abatement. This ratification supports the County Administrator’s decision and order to close the Antioch Library from June 29th through July 15th, 2020. Employees of the Antioch Library branch chose either to work an alternate assignment or use paid accruals during the period of closure. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Library will be unable to perform the abatement and it will remain a health threat to patrons and employees. RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to close all branches of the County Library according to the holiday and training schedule outlined in the attached "2020 Library Closures - REVISED June 2020" list. FISCAL IMPACT: None BACKGROUND: Every year in the Fall, the County Administrator's Office sends out a list to all department heads of the holidays that will be observed during the following calendar year. Using this information, an annual Library Closures list is created and submitted to the Board of Supervisors for approval. Due to the reduction of hours for many of the libraries, and the elimination of Sunday hours across the board, a revised list is attached and needs approval. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The current closure list in effect will not properly reflect the dates when the libraries are closed.

FISCAL IMPACT: No General Fund impact. All funds are provided to the County on a formula basis through the State of California. The State ESG-CV funds are allocated to the State by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and then distributed to eligible local Administrative Entities. Contra Costa County is an eligible Administrative Entity. The estimated State ESG-CV formula allocation to the County is $1,065,100; however, the actual amount available to Contra Costa County has not been finalized by the State and additional funds may become available. Application instructions from the State recommend listing an approved dollar amount that is at least double the estimated formula allocation, or $2,130,200, in order to receive additional funds if they become available. A portion of the funds determined by the State ($56,100) is reserved for program administration in the County's Department of Conservation and Development.

Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Stephanie Mello, Deputy cc: C.137 To:Board of Supervisors From:John Kopchik, Director, Conservation & Development Department Date:July 14, 2020 Contra Costa County Subject:State Emergency Solutions Grant-Coronavirus Program Funds BACKGROUND: The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) allocates State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds to Continuum of Care (CoC) geographic areas. The CoC is a program through which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development strives to end homelessness. The County’s Health, Housing and Homeless Services manages the CoC for Contra Costa. The County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is the approved Administrative Entity for the State ESG funds and is required to collaborate with the CoC. The ESG Program provides funds to activities that (1) engage homeless individuals and families who are living on the street, (2) improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families, (3) help operate shelters, (4) provide essential services to shelter residents, (5) rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families, (6) prevent families/individuals from becoming homeless, and (7) reporting and management of client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families and persons at-risk of homelessness. As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was passed by Congress and signed by the President on March 27, 2020, HCD received an additional amount of ESG-Coronavirus (ESG-CV) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to allocate to the various Administrative Entities to distribute in their respective CoC geographic areas. In addition to the range of regular ESG eligible activities, the ESG-CV funds must also prevent, prepare for, and/or respond to the coronavirus and its impacts. On June 1, 2020, HCD announced the availability of the State ESG-CV funds for Administrative Entities to submit formal applications to receive these funds. HCD’s deadline for Administrative Entities to submit applications is July 20, 2020. Given the short timeframe to submit applications, the selection of service providers to carry out activities with the ESG-CV funds is not required at this time but Administrative Entities must submit their applications by the July 20, 2020 deadline. The selection of and allocations to service providers will take place at a later time and the Board of Supervisors will consider approval at a future meeting. To apply for the allocation of State ESG-CV funds, the County Board of Supervisors must approve a resolution (attached) authorizing and affirming the following: 1) that the funds will be used in a manner consistent with all applicable laws, regulations, and contracts regarding the State ESG-CV Program; 2) that the County will receive State ESG-CV grant funds in an amount not to exceed $2,130,200; 3) that the State ESG-CV funds will be used for eligible activities; and 4) that the DCD Director or Assistant Deputy Director are authorized to execute a Standard Agreement for State ESG-CV funds and related documents.

The County is currently negotiating a new contract with payment from road funds instead of stormwater utility assessments. Staff recommends that the Board authorize payment to BIMID for the services provided over the last year.

ATTACHMENTS D15 RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE the Amended Bylaws of the Contra Costs County Hazardous Materials Commission attached hereto, as recommended by the Hazardous Materials Commission Ombudsman and the Health Services Director. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for this action. BACKGROUND: On December 9, 2019, the Board’s Sustainability Committee voted to recommend that an environmental justice seat be added to the membership of the County’s Hazardous Materials Commission (Commission). The Board considered this recommendation on January 21, 2020. Instead of adding a seat for an environmental justice representative, the Board voted to convert a vacant environmental organization seat to an environmental justice seat, and directed that the Commission’s bylaws be amended to reflect this change. The attached Amended Bylaws of the Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Commission (Amended Bylaws) reflects the new environmental justice seat and reduction of the number of environmental organization seats from three to two.
