RECOMMENDATION(S):
RECEIVE Report from Interdepartmental Climate Action Task Force and provide direction as appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving the report. If the Board is supportive, staff will report
back to the Board regarding ongoing research on how other cities and counties have set up sustainability
funds.
BACKGROUND:
On September 22, 2020, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors (Board) declared a climate
emergency that “threatens the long-term economic and social well-being, health, safety, and security of the
County, and that urgent action by all levels of government is needed to immediately address this climate
emergency.“ Among other actions, the Climate Emergency Resolution adopted by the Board resolves that
the County establish an interdepartmental task force that will “focus on urgently implementing the
County’s Climate Action Plan” and identify additional actions, policies, and programs the County can
undertake to reduce and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate.

Subject:RECEIVE REPORT from Interdepartmental Climate Action Task Force.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
> The task force is directed to report to the Board as a discussion item on a semi-annual basis starting in
March 2021.
The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD), working in partnership with the Department
of Public Works (Public Works), is staffing the work of this Interdepartmental Climate Action Task
Force (Task Force). The Task Force has met twice to develop the initial report (attached). The report
recommends three immediate actions by the Board:
(1) Support continuation of County services and meetings online where possible after the COVID-19
restrictions are lifted to the extent departments determine such services to be beneficial and have the
capacity to continue offering them;
(2) Establish a Sustainability Fund that is supported by an annual investment and/or is structured as a
revolving fund that reinvests cost saving in additional improvements. This fund would support
improvements to County facilities and operations (i.e., recycling, composting and purchasing practices)
that reduce greenhouse emissions and reduce energy costs over time. If the Board is supportive, staff
will report back to the Board with recommendations on details for the fund, including potential amounts,
funding sources and approaches on how to structure the fund, based on best practices from other
jurisdictions with similar funds; and
(3) Advocate with the State that virtual advisory body meetings be permitted to continue after
shelter-in-place orders are lifted.
The report also identifies additional opportunities for the Task Force and County departments to pursue
going forward, with direction from the Board.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to receive the report and provide direction would contradict the direction provided in the
Climate Emergency Resolution.

improvements to County facilities and operations1 that reduce GHG emissions and reduce
energy costs over time.
If the Board is supportive, staff will report back to the Board with recommendations on how to
structure the fund, based on best practices from other jurisdictions with similar funds.
3. Advocate with the State that virtual advisory body meetings be permitted to continue after
shelter-in-place orders are lifted.
This report also identifies additional opportunities for the Task Force and County departments to pursue
going forward, with direction from the Board.
II. Immediate Opportunities
A. Virtual Operations of County Departments
At its first meeting on December 16, 2020, the Task Force learned how many County
departments have begun offering services online during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as some that
have been offering services online for a longer time. This provides many benefits in addition to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions: reduced travel time, improved convenience for residents, reduced traffic
congestion, less pollution from driving, increased quality of life, lower transportation costs, lower
County operational costs, and ability to reach residents who have difficulty getting to in-person
1 Operations can include things like recycling, composting, fleet, lighting and building systems, solar, and
purchasing practices.

appointments. Attachment B is a chart that summarizes County services and functions that are being
provided online at this time.
Many of the innovative online services developed to provide County services during the
pandemic have proven very successful and many departments are inclined to continue offering such
services in the future. The Task Force recommends the Board endorse ongoing delivery of County
services virtually to the extent departments find such services to be beneficial and have the capacity to
continue offering them. Following the pandemic, departments will need to determine the appropriate
mix of virtual and in-person services to best serve the public.2
The Task Force is mindful that there are some residents who do not have access to technology
for a variety of reasons; it will be important moving forward to ensure that services continue to be
available in-person for those who need that option, and to work to bring internet connections,
technology, and education on how to use technology to all County residents. The County’s State and
Federal legislative platforms support expanding access to technology.
During the pandemic, the many advisory bodies to the Board have been allowed to meet
electronically, rather than in person.3 Many advisory bodies have seen increased attendance by
appointed advisory body members as well as increased community participation. Holding meetings
online reduces the cost and time required to attend meetings in person and reduces traffic congestion
and greenhouse gas emissions. The ability to record online meetings and then post those recordings
online increases transparency and community access. The Task Force recommends that the Board
advocate with the State that virtual advisory body meetings be permitted to continue after shelter-in-
place orders are lifted.4
How It’s Working: Department Success Stories
While the sudden switch to online services initially caused uncertainty, many good things have
come out of the transition. The following success stories from County departments are an illustration of
the County’s resilience and dedication to offering excellent service while navigating the unplanned shift
to online services.
2 This report does not address the issue of work-from-home policies for County employees, which is a subject of
collective bargaining.
3 Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-29-20, March 17, 2020, allows local legislative bodies to meet
electronically. “…a local legislative body or state body is authorized to hold public meetings via teleconferencing
and to make public meetings accessible telephonically or otherwise electronically to all members of the public
seeking to observe and to address the local legislative body or state body. All requirements in both the Bagley -
Keene Act and the Brown Act expressly or impliedly requiring the physical presence of members, the clerk or other
personnel of the body, or of the public as a condition of participation in or quorum for a public meeting are hereby
waived.”
4 On March 9, 2021, the Board approved a recommendation from the Legislation Committee to amend the County’s
2021-22 State Legislative Platform to support legislation that would enable virtual or teleconferencing public
meetings, including advisory body meetings, to continue post-pandemic with an opportunity for all persons to
attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL CLIMATE ACTION TASK FORCE 3
In response to the pandemic, we successfully transitioned many of our services online. Programs from
adoption applications to lost and found reporting can now be easily accessed on our webpage. I’m
proud to say that Animal Services has been able to offer continual adoption, licensing, and lost pet
services to our residents while, at the same time, reducing the need for them to travel to our facility.
Beth Ward, Director, Animal Services
Veterans Services’ online transition in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been a success. Since
June 2020, we have served 1,233 clients online through our Zoom virtual office. Through this service,
our clients are able to access information about benefits, file claims, and more all from the comfort of
their homes, during lunch breaks, or from their hospital beds. Offering our services remotely means
more veterans, particularly those with mobility restrictions, have been able to file claims. Because of
after-hours safety concerns for in-person appointments, we have been able to extend our office hours
to 6pm using the virtual office. This better serves the population that works fulltime and is unavailable
during regular business hours. We believe that remote services are a win for our clients!
We also see potential cost savings. Our annual Zoom subscription is about $700; comparably we pay
$1200/month to rent a satellite office in San Pablo. Moving forward, even after COVID, we plan to
maintain a fully staffed virtual office in response to the positive feedback we’ve received.
Nathan Johnson, Director, Veterans Services Department
Many of Child Support Services’ services have been available online for some time, but we are seeing
increases in their use. Since last March, in response to the pandemic, we’ve expanded our texting and
telephone communication services to provide real-time resources and support for our customers. In
addition, we implemented DocuSign and we’re planning to implement live chat on our website as well
as video conferencing as another way for customers to communicate with us. At the same time, we
know some of our customers cannot access us with technology so, in addition to expanding our digital
communication services, we’re making plans to safely reopen our physical lobby for our customers who
need face-to-face service or would like to videoconference with their caseworker, but do not have the
ability to do so.
Melinda Self, Director, Child Support Services
The Office of Communications and Media has strengthened and supported use of the County website
as a virtual office for departments since the beginning of the pandemic so contact information and
services can be found in a central location. Assisting County functions through internet, broadcast,
video, and live streaming media communications has made information more accessible, reduced car
trips, saved time and money, and supported public messaging, especially when rapid communications
are called for. Producing virtual and broadcast events, posting flyers on the website, and providing video
production best practices so employees and the public can email or send videos via the cloud are all
examples of efficient, cost-reducing ways our office works to keep our environment healthy.
Susan Shiu, Director, Office of Communications and Media and Contra Costa Television (CCTV)
INTERDEPARTMENTAL CLIMATE ACTION TASK FORCE 4
Building and planning applications and permits were available online prior to the pandemic. However, in
response to our physical office being closed at the onset of the pandemic, we’ve been able to continue
serving Department of Conservation and Development customers through our online permitting
process. Before shelter in place orders went into effect, we would serve 70 to 80 customers in person
per day at our Application and Permit Center. Now customers can file for applications and permits
anytime and from anywhere without having to drive to our office. This gives them more flexibility and
has improved the convenience of our services. With the expansion of our online permitting processes,
we are issuing more permits now compared to the period prior to the pandemic.
Jason Crapo, Chief Building Official and Deputy Director, Department of Conservation and
Development
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of the public, staff-related, and business meetings overseen by the
County Administrator’s Office have gone virtual using various video-conferencing platforms. Hosting
these meetings online has led to greater public engagement and input while simultaneously reducing
the number of trips made by elected officials, staff, and the public.
Lara Delaney, Senior Deputy County Administrator, County Administrator's Office
Because of the shelter-in-place orders, the District Attorney’s Office has shifted meetings with victims,
witnesses, and families to telephone calls and virtual video conferencing. Many court hearings and other
staff-attended meetings have been transitioned to Zoom which has saved our employees a significant
amount of time and gas.
Nanette Wellman, DA Manager of Law Offices, District Attorney’s Office
In response to the pandemic, the Employment and Human Services Department has made strides
toward commute reduction for both staff and customers. We have made electronic service delivery
available and implemented a work-from-home option for many staff in the department. These actions
have and will continue to reduce car trips related to our department’s operations.
Kathy Gallagher, Director, Employment and Human Services Department
Here at the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District we've eliminated many of the traditional
round-trips of engine companies from their stations to the Training Division in Concord with virtual
classroom training since the onset of the pandemic. We will be expanding the use of this technology to
turn classroom training into an online classroom format, but have seen positive early results with
reduced trips, reduced fuel consumption, and increased response reliability by keeping crews available
in their stations.
Lewis Broschard, Con Fire Chief, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
INTERDEPARTMENTAL CLIMATE ACTION TASK FORCE 5
The Housing Authority has been able to provide greater access to clients as the direct result of providing
certifications and inspections remotely in response to social distancing protocols brought on by the
pandemic. We’ve seen success with the movement of these services online and are in the process of
making more services like household recertification accessible online. In addition, we are planning to
open an East County Office to serve over 3,040 households living there and re-direct West County
residents to our San Pablo office to minimize their need to drive to Martinez for services.
Tony Ucciferri, Special Assistant to the Executive Director, Contra Costa County Housing
Authority
Over the past few years, the Human Resources Department has been working on various initiatives to
reduce our use of paper and processes that require travel to, from, and throughout the County. In our
Personnel Services Division, we have shifted our employment testing and recruitment processes to
online and virtual methods. With the exception of some state-mandated public safety testing, we have
transitioned all of our written tests to online and unproctored. The tests that we must conduct onsite
have all been converted to computer-based, thus eliminating the need for printed test booklets and
answer sheets, not only reducing the use of paper, but also eliminating the need to ship these materials
back and forth with the test vendor. We moved the structured panel interview portion of the
assessment process to video-based platforms like Zoom and HireVue, reducing travel for candidates and
panel members. As a result, only a very small number of recruitment related testing happens in person,
and only when there is not a virtual option that is appropriate or permissible. We rely heavily on
Microsoft Teams and Zoom in order to conduct the vast majority of our meetings with both internal and
external stakeholder groups. In our Employee Benefits Division, we implemented the PeopleSoft
Employee Self-Service portal in order to eliminate the use of paper in the annual open enrollment
process, as well as various other life events or data updates. Employees are no longer required to travel
to our offices with their personal documents and enrollment materials. The Human Resources
Department also participated in the LaserFiche digital imaging project to scan our historical paper
documents, and establish an electronic filing system for future records. The majority of the Human
Resources Department staff been working remotely for the past year while maintaining or increasing
productivity and service levels. All of these changes have reduced the use of and reliance on paper
across every HR function, and significantly reduced the amount of employee and client travel.
Ann Elliott, Director of Human Resources
The Clerk of the Board partnered with the Department of Information Technology, Contra Costa TV, and
the County Administrator’s Office to ensure the Board of Supervisors could continue its meetings online
in response to the pandemic. We have seen a large increase in participation by community members
who can now access the Board meetings without having to travel to Martinez. The online meeting
platform allows people to call in and offer comments, where previously if they were watching the live
broadcast that opportunity didn’t exist.
Jami Morritt, Chief Assistant Clerk of the Board, Clerk of the Board
INTERDEPARTMENTAL CLIMATE ACTION TASK FORCE 6
Here at the County Library we’ve reimagined our public events and services because of the pandemic,
transitioning storytimes, Project Second Chance tutoring, Library Commission meetings, and e-card
signups all online. Speaking of e-cards, because of database and e-card changes, we’ve seen an over
100% increase in e-book checkouts in 2020! Going forward, we plan to continue much of what we have
newly implemented. And we will always need to provide on-site services as well in order to meet the
needs of all people in our communities.
Alison McKee, County Librarian, Library
DocuSign and Zoom have been integral components of the Probation Department’s pivot online
because of COVID-19. Our employees have been using DocuSign to fill out forms online and Zoom to
participate in court hearings. Youth in custody have been using Zoom for family visitations and distance
learning. Video visitations have been especially impactful for parents with transportation concerns to
more easily communicate with their children via Zoom.
Esa Ehmen-Krause, Chief Probation Officer, Probation
Online services are nothing new for the Treasurer-Tax Collector. We’ve offered property tax inquiry,
history, and payment services online since 2008 as well as Electronic Deposit Permits for deposits to the
Treasury by County departments, agencies, and districts since 2009. However, with the pandemic, we’ve
seen a 37% and 71% annual increase in online property tax payments in dollar amount and volume
through December 2020 respectively. By restricting in-person services and having several staff members
working remotely, we have reduced employee and taxpayer vehicular travel.
Brice Bins, Chief Deputy, Treasurer-Tax Collector
Due in part to the restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic the Public Works Department
increased our use of electronic and virtual platforms in delivering some of the services by our
department. We have partnered with the Department of Conservation and Development at the
Application and Permit Center (APC) to provide virtual meetings and on-line permits that involve our
department, reducing the number of trips from the public and contractors to the APC for Public Works
permits. We also offer many records and drawings electronically to customers, further reducing the
number of trips to obtain this information from our Records and Survey groups. Many of our meetings
with various committees, cities, other agencies, and Board members are now done virtually, reducing
the amount of time necessary to travel for those recurring meetings and again, reducing the number of
trips necessary for that travel to various locations throughout the County.
Brian Balbas, Director, Public Works Department
INTERDEPARTMENTAL CLIMATE ACTION TASK FORCE 7
How It’s Working: County Advisory Bodies
The County’s Sustainability Office surveyed the people who staff the over 70 County advisory
bodies. The survey asked how advisory body member and community participation was affected by the
pivot to virtual meetings. The majority of these advisory bodies meet monthly and have anywhere from
2 to 35 members. Staff to 43 of the 75 bodies that the County oversees responded.
The survey results indicate that 43% of the advisory bodies saw an improvement in member
attendance through virtual meetings. 90% of advisory bodies saw either similar or increased rates of
community member attendance during virtual meetings compared to in-person meeting attendance.
Additionally, seven advisory bodies saw their community member attendance numbers double from in-
person to virtual meetings. The Ad Hoc Committee on COVID-19 Economic Impact and Recovery saw the
most public participation with 100 to 200 community members at each meeting.5 While virtual meeting
attendance cannot be attributed to any single factor, the survey results reflect an overall increase in
participation.
Besides increased participation, another bright spot of virtual meetings is the ability to record
meetings, which recordings can then be posted online. Six advisory bodies have taken advantage of this
feature and two more are planning to do so soon. This feature facilitates transparency and offers
members of the public the flexibility to watch meetings at their convenience.
This survey indicates the benefits of virtual advisory board meetings with increased attendance
and the ability to be increasingly transparent. While access to technology remains a serious equity
barrier that must be considered in the context of virtual meetings, thus far virtual meetings have
resulted in tangible benefits in terms of community participation and less travel.

B. County Facilities
The new County Administration Building (Admin Building) and Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) are two of the most visible examples of how the County can be a climate action leader.
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER
Public Works is a key player in helping the County meet its Climate Action Plan goals for County
operations, and provides services to all County departments, including construction and maintenance of
County buildings and grounds, fleet services, purchasing services, materials management (recycling,
composting, surplus), print and mail services, and clean water compliance. There is a good body of
existing work on which to build to increase the County’s leadership in this area. In addition to the new
Admin Building and EOC, Public Works has collaborated with departments that have the ability to direct
portions of their operating budgets to install energy efficient lighting and heating/cooling systems,
rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle chargers and electric vehicles, and drought tolerant landscaping.
These improvements over time will save money and energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from
County operations.
The Task Force recommends that the Board consider establishing a Sustainability Fund that is
supported by an annual investment and/or is structured as a revolving fund that reinvests cost savings in
additional improvements. If the Board is supportive, staff will investigate how other cities and counties
have set up similar funds and return to the Board with recommendations on how to structure this fund,
based on best practices from other jurisdictions with similar funds. This Fund would support
improvements to County facilities that reduce GHG emissions and reduce energy costs over time.
Currently, investments in County facilities are made by individual departments and funded by
department operating budgets. Most departments do not choose to invest in energy efficient
technology, solar panels, electric vehicles and chargers, and similar infrastructure improvements
because the upfront cost can be higher than traditional options, even though long-term operating and
maintenance costs are lower. Establishing a countywide fund will allow Public Works to consider
County facilities systemwide and realize economies of scale. For example, one year the Sustainability
Fund might focus on upgrading lighting systems across County buildings, and the next year it might focus
on installing electric vehicle chargers. The savings from these energy efficiency and renewable energy
systems can be reinvested into the Sustainability Fund, allowing its reach to increase. There also is a
need to invest in data technology to better manage buildings.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL CLIMATE ACTION TASK FORCE 9
III. Additional Opportunities
The first part of this report outlines the most immediate steps the Task Force recommends for
the County to “urgently implement the goals of the Climate Action Plan.” The Task Force has identified
other actions the County could investigate to meet climate action goals for County operations. Exploring
these opportunities, and others that will undoubtedly arise as the Task Force continues its deliberations,
will be the group’s work going forward.
These opportunities span many aspects of how County departments operate, including:
opportunities to reduce emissions from employee commute and job-related meetings; fleet vehicles;
water usage; solar energy for County facilities; purchasing practices; education, planning, and outreach;
and funding needed to support these opportunities. Attachment C provides more detail on these
opportunities, including estimated feasibility and cost to implement. For example, to reduce paper it
would be relatively easy and inexpensive to institute double-sided printing and more narrow margins in
all departments. It would be more complicated to implement shuttles for County employees from
transit centers like BART stations to County offices.
The Task Force looks forward to continuing to collaborate to identify actions County
departments can take to help the County, and the State, meet their ambitious climate goals.

Fleet
The County maintains a fleet of about 1,500 vehicles. The majority of these are sedans. The fleet also includes
sport utility vehicles (SUVs); vans; pick-up trucks; light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks; and off-road
equipment. While a few departments have purchased electric vehicles for fleet purposes, the majority have not.
One of the barriers cited is access to charging facilities.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Federal Community Project Funding Requests
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is an unknown potential federal revenue increase from the selection of a Contra Costa County
project for "Community Project Funding." Local matching funds may be required.
BACKGROUND:
Community Project Funding in Appropriations Committees
While County staff and our federal advocates from Alcalde & Fay were seeing reports last fall about the
potential return of "earmarks" in the federal budget process, it wasn't until mid-February that the
possibility became more plausible, with the announcement from the House and Senate Appropriations
chairs that a reformed process to ensure greater transparency and accountability was underway for
"community projects." A press release from the House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro
on Feb. 26, 2021 made the opportunity official: the House would accept Member requests for
"Community Project Funding, with reforms enacted to ensure the funding is dedicated to genuine need
and not subject to abuse. Earmarks, also known as "member-directed spending," were ended when
Republicans took control of the House in 2011 following years of controversy; the Senate followed suit.
However, banning the practice stripped congressional leaders of a powerful tool to respond to the
community needs of a state or congressional district, and local jurisdictions lost a mechanism of federal
funding for our local needs.
On March 12, 2021, County staff received guidance documents from the House Committee on
Appropriations for "Community Project Funding" requests. The guidance documents indicated
that Members of Congress would be required to submit their requests to the Committee by either April
14, 15 or 16 (depending on the appropriations bill the request would be submitted for). Members of
Congress are limited to submitting only 10 Community Project Funding proposals (across all
Appropriation bills) for their district, with no guarantee that they will be funded. Subsequent to that
guidance, County staff began receiving solicitation documents from our members of Congress. (See
Attachment A from Congressman Thompson.) The deadlines established by the Congress
Members were, by necessity, earlier than the mid-April deadline established by the Appropriation
Committee. Deadlines have been established as early as April 2, 2021. (We have not, as yet, received
solicitation documents from our Senators Feinstein and Padilla.)
Given the compressed schedule for responding to the solicitation, staff across all Departments have been
notified of these opportunities, consulted with our federal lobbyists, and have submitted to the CAO's
office project proposals for the Board's consideration. The Appropriations Committee is requiring a
letter or resolution of support from the Board of Supervisors. We have also been advised that requests
will be given priority that have the following features:
Funding from other sources such as state, local, or non-governmental organizations;
and
The requested amount can complete the project.
The "General Community Funded Project Guidance from the Appropriations Committee" provided by
Congressman Thompson also provided the following information:
Matching Requirements: Several Federal programs eligible for Community Project Funding
requests require a State or local match for projects either by statute or according to longstanding policy.
The Committee will not waive these matching requirements for Community Project Funding requests.
Note: This does not mean that matching funds must be in-hand prior to requesting a project, but that
local officials must have a plan to meet such requirements in order for such a project to be viable.
One-year funding: Each project request must be for fiscal year 2022 funds only and cannot include a
request for multiyear funding.
Transparency: Certain information about project requests submitted by Members to the
Appropriations Committees will be made public. This includes: the proposed recipient; the address of
the recipient; the amount of the request; and an explanation of the request, including purpose, and a
justification for why it is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds.
Community Support: Community engagement and support is crucial in determining which projects
will be ultimately selected for Federal funding. Only projects with demonstrated community support
will be considered by the Appropriations Committee. The Appropriations Committee encourages project
sponsors to include evidence of support for proposals including:
• Letters of support from elected community leaders;
• Press articles highlighting the need for the requested Community Project Funding;
• Support from newspaper editorial boards;
• Projects listed on State intended use plans, community development plans, or other publicly
available planning documents; or
• Resolutions passed by city councils or boards.
Although County staff did not receive specific forms to fill out, as was the practice a decade ago, there
have been questions posed in the guidance documents that Congress Members would be required to
submit for their project submittals. These questions include:

The projects that have been put forth by County staff for consideration and prioritization by the Board of
Supervisors are described in Attachment B.
Member Designated Projects for the Committee on Transportation and
Infrastructure
While staff and advocates were awaiting formal notification from the Appropriations Committees,
on March 3, 2021, the Chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and
the Chair of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit announced the Committee would provide
Members of Congress the opportunity to submit requests for highway and transit project designations
through the surface transportation reauthorization bill. The new submission process allows more direct
Member engagement on infrastructure projects that will advance the goals of the legislation, which
include building a safer transportation network, increasing access, strengthening our multi-modal
transportation systems, reducing carbon pollution, enhancing environmental justice, supporting
underserved communities, and improving the state of repair of the nation's infrastructure. Member
submissions must be received by the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee by 6:00 p.m. EDT on
Friday, April 16, 2021. The Committee is not limiting the number of projects a Member can request.
However, Members will be asked to rank their top five project priorities.
County Public Works staff have been developing Contra Costa County's requests for these earmarks as
well and reaching out to Caltrans for letters of support. See Attachment C for their list of nominated
projects. Criteria for inclusion by staff included projects that would achieve the goals of the legislation,
were far enough along in the planning and coordination process to advance if funding were allocated, had
demonstrated community and leadership support, would be geographically and equitably distributed, and
met a critical need.
Projects that were considered but not advanced for nomination because of insufficient readiness included:
Boulevard Way Pedestrian Improvements - Project will
provide an active transportation option for students who
currently have safety barriers on their current route to school.
Iron Horse Trail Bike Express Corridor - Maximize the
Iron Horse Corridor for active transportation that includes
commute to separate users by speed. Improvements will extend
22 miles from north terminus to the County boundary
Kirker Pass Road Southbound Truck Climbing Lane -
Construct a truck climbing lane in ithe southbound direction
from Pittsburg to Concord. Separating slow moving truck
traffic from the passenger vehicles will improve safety to
address the high fatality rate on this regional route.
Olympic Boulevard Trail Connection - Construct a multi use
Olympic Boulevard Trail Connection - Construct a multi use
trail to connect between the regional Iron Horse Trail and
Lamorinda Trail to complete the walking and biking network
throughout Central Contra Costa.
Pacheco Boulevard Corridor Improvements - Construct
Complete Street improvements throughout the Pacheco
Boulevard Corridor in partnership with the City of Martinez
Countywide Surface Treatment 2022-2024 –Accelerate
maintenance backlog with surface treatments countywide
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the County does not submit project requests for federal FY 2022, the County will not avail itself of the
opportunity to receive federal funding to support its identified community needs.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
ADOPTED the recommendations and DIRECTED staff to work with our Congressional delegates
to further refine and determine what projects are most appropriate to submit and discuss the need
for funding for economic development planning funding.

Attachment A
General Community Funded Project Guidance from the Appropriations Committee
Ban on For-Profit recipients. The Committee is imposing a ban on directing Community Project
Funding to for-profit entities.
Matching requirements. Several Federal programs eligible for Community Project Funding
requests require a State or local match for projects either by statute or according to longstanding
policy. The Committee will not waive these matching requirements for Community Project
Funding requests. Note: This does not mean that matching funds must be in-hand prior to
requesting a project, but that local officials must have a plan to meet such requirements in order
for such a project to be viable.
One-year funding. Each project request must be for fiscal year 2022 funds only and cannot
include a request for multiyear funding.
State or local governmental entities as grantees. Members are encouraged to consider public
entities as primary grantees to oversee the completion of the project. For infrastructure projects,
many States have established lists or intended use plans with projects that have already been
vetted by governmental officials (e.g. drinking water, wastewater and highways).
Non-profits as grantees. If a Member requests that funding be directed to a non-profit
organization, the Member will need to provide evidence that the recipient is a non-profit
organization as described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Further,
many water projects often partner with non-profit entities to complete projects. Therefore, projects
may also be directed to non-profits with an inherently governmental function.
Community Support. Community engagement and support is crucial in determining which
projects will be ultimately selected for Federal funding. Only projects with demonstrated
community support will be considered by the Appropriations Committee.
The Appropriations Committee encourages project sponsors to include evidence of support for
your proposal including:
• Letters of support from elected community leaders (e.g. mayors or other officials);
• Press articles highlighting the need for the requested Community Project Funding;
• Support from newspaper editorial boards;
• Projects listed on State intended use plans, community development plans, or other
publicly available planning documents; or
• Resolutions passed by city councils or boards.
Transparency. Certain information about project requests submitted by my office to the
Appropriations Committees will be made public. This includes: the proposed recipient; the address
of the recipient; the amount of the request; and an explanation of the request, including purpose,
and a justification for why it is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds.

Contra Costa Crisis Services Hub
The Contra Costa Crisis Services Hub (“the Hub”) would consolidate and expand access by Contra
Costa residents to an array of crisis services. The county’s mobile crisis teams would be
headquartered at the Hub and a crisis intervention, urgent care center established.
The Hub would provide integrated mental health and substance use treatment services to best
address the multifaceted needs of county residents. Individuals needing crisis intervention, but
not extended crisis stabilization, would be able to access this level of care on an urgent basis
whether self-referring or referred by one of the mobile crisis teams after a community
intervention. The multidisciplinary treatment team staffing the Hub’s crisis clinic would have
expertise in addressing acute mental health, substance use and co-occurring conditions. This
component of the current crisis intervention continuum is missing in Contra Costa and would
serve to support and enhance diversion from the county’s hospital-based Psychiatric Emergency
Service, inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, visits to emergency departments of local hospitals
and, in some cases, legal detention.
In order to create this Hub, Contra Costa County Behavioral Health Services is proposing to
renovate a County-owned facility, centrally located in Concord on Oak Grove Road. The budget
needed to complete renovations is $2,810,742.00. Necessary work includes building demolition,
exterior fenestration, roofing, creation of interior partitions, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and fire
protections.

Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) Expansion
Contra Costa County Health Services is working on a collaborative Community Crisis Response
Initiative. Participants in this initiative include diverse stakeholders comprised of county
behavioral health staff, city police officers, city manager staff, NAMI, people with lived
experience, and staff from community-based organizations. Collectively, the team is working
toward the shared goal of ensuring a timely response to behavioral health crises, anytime,
anywhere in the county. To address unmet needs identified through this collaborative community
effort, the county is seeking to enhance its mobile crisis response services.
Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services (CCBHS) proposes to augment existing Mobile Crisis
Response Teams to more fully address the needs of Contra Costa residents by adding two teams
for increased capacity to respond in a more timely way than currently possible with existing staff
and to add Alcohol and Other Drugs Counselors to more effectively address crises related to
substance use. Given the large geographic area of Contra Costa, travel time from the West to the
East side of the county can be long, especially during hours of commute traffic. The addition of
these two teams would support a more rapid response needed in crisis situations.
The requested budget for additional Alcohol and Other Drugs Counselors, Mental Health
Clinical Specialists, and Mental Health Community Support Workers is $1,061,552.

Collaborative Care Implementation Community Funding Project Proposal
Overview
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers (CCRMC-HC) is the primary medical
and dental network provider for Medi-Cal beneficiaries enrolled in CCHP and serves over
86,400 of these enrollees annually in its eleven federally qualified health clinics (FQHCs).
CCRMC-HC supports the most vulnerable and low-income population in the County, including a
high number of homeless and immigrant residents and others who traditionally have a high
prevalence of mental health and co-occurring conditions. An analysis of our 86,400 Medi-Cal
clients show 34% have behavioral health needs. Of these, about 50% currently receive mental
health services. It is projected the remaining unserved individuals predominately would benefit
from mild to moderate intensity interventions and would not meet medical necessity criteria for
Specialty Mental Health Services. Additionally, 57% of adults reported experiencing some
COVID-19 related adversity or trauma (Yasgur, 2021). Provision of universal behavioral health
screenings will result in increased identification of these persons.
During the past year, CCRMC-HCs patients have been impacted deeply by COVID-19
pandemic, suffering disruption to their daily lives, financial adversity, and mental illness.
Changes to healthcare delivery systems dramatically reduced access to providers early in 2020.
Primary care and mental health services went un-utilized. However, in March 2020 CCRMC-
HCs quickly adjusted to implementing newly funded telehealth services, making primary
healthcare and mental health care more accessible to patients. For those with transportation and
linguistic needs, telehealth is an innovative mode of getting their care needs met at home.
Currently, mild to moderate level mental health services are offered in CCRMC-HCs clinics, but
are underutilized due to several challenges. Additionally, mild to severe services are provided
through CCHP’s external provider network which does not utilize the CCHS electronic health
Attachment B
Page 5 of 39
record (HER) and whose providers have no direct interaction with primary care providers. This
coordinated, but segregated, delivery system does not support highly integrated care and can be
challenged in meeting increased demand for services and provision of appropriate linguistic
capacity, especially for Spanish speaking enrollees.
Over the past several years, CCRMC-HCs has leveraged funding from California’s Department
of Health Care Services (DHCS) programs including the Public Hospital Redesign and
Incentives in Medi-Cal (PRIME), Quality Incentive Program (QIP), and the Behavioral Health
Integration Incentive Program to integrate Primary Care and Behavioral Health Services at all 11
clinics. The Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) project was developed with support from
CCRMC HC leadership, including the Behavioral Health Director, the Chief Medical Officer and
the Health Services Director. Achievements to date include:
1. Universal Screening and Workflow Integration
a. Screening all primary care patients using validated tools (SBIRT, PHQ, GAD-7,
etc).
b. Physical co-location of Behavioral Health providers in primary care clinic setting.
c. Real-time connection to embedded behavioral health providers using same day
appointments or warm hand offs from primary care provider to behavioral health
clinician.
d. Streamlined referral, triage, and initial evaluation process.
2. Operational and Technical Infrastructure
a. Stakeholder-driven governance to support the design, implementation, testing,
training and optimization of the BHI project.
b. Policy/Procedural development for all components of the BHI project, including
productivity expectations and clinical care plan/treatment model standards.
c. Increased clinical capacity in primary care setting, ie licensed (MFT or LCSW)
staff and psychiatry.
d. Enhancement of the CCHS electronic health record system to include systematic
triage, referral, and scheduling for patients with identified behavioral health
needs.
Attachment B
Page 6 of 39
e. Dashboards supporting data-driven caseload and program-level measures to track
the progress of patient’s treatment, and proactively monitor treatment care plans.
3. Quality and Process Improvement
a. Comprehensive QI/QA strategies, including PDSAs, to monitor and improve
relapse prevention, referral follow-up, treatment adherence, clinical outcomes and
patient and provider satisfaction.
Description of Project
While CCRMC-HCs continues to participate in QIP, this project includes funding request for
outstanding project aims of optimizing existing infrastructure by supporting the education and
training for behavioral health staff, implementing a standardized treatment model across 11
FQHC clinics within the CCRMC-HC system, and an aggressive EHR build to support
coordination of care. The project will be self-sustained after the optimization phase using FQHC
reimbursement and infrastructure support from the CCRMC-HC system of care.
CCRMC-HCs aims to implement Collaborative Care Model due to its demonstrated
effectiveness and efficiency in delivering integrated care (American Psychiatric Association
(APA) and Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine (APM), 2016). The Collaborative Care Team
is led by the primary care provider (PCP) and includes behavioral health clinicians, and
psychiatrists all working at the top of their license. The team develops and implements a
measurement-guided care plan based on evidence-based practices. Primary care and behavioral
health providers collaborate effectively using shared care plans that incorporate patient goals.
The ability to get both physical and mental health care at a familiar location is comfortable to
patients and reduces duplicate assessments. Increased patient engagement oftentimes results in a
better health care experience and improved patient outcomes.
Once certified, CCRMC-HCs clinicians will be able to onboard new hires and provide annual
refresher trainings. Along with Collaborative Care Model, CCRMC—HCs will develop
comprehensive training plans that will include evidenced based practices, skill-development and
tool-development, including trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, EHR, and
Attachment B
Page 7 of 39
workflow trainings. These trainings will be integrated into our existing e-learning management
software and made available to all staff participating in Collaborative Care treatment teams.
Coupled with the clinical enhancements, technical improvements are needed to support the
Collaborative Care teams. An aggressive EHR build will include adopting epic’s case
management module, improving the depression registry, and enhancing existing screening tools,
assessments, documentation, and scheduling templates.
The project funding will be directed to enhancing the following professional development
activities:
1. Initial certification training in Collaborative Care Model
2. Development of comprehensive training materials
3. Onboarding and training new hires
4. EHR enhancements including aggressive builds and epic module implementation
Budget
1. Initial Certification Training Sessions $150,000
Existing Behavioral Health Clinicians and Primary Care Provider champions will participate in
the Collaborative Care Model certification training. Cost includes training fees and clinic
coverage.
2. Develop training materials and training plan $300,000
Training materials and plan will incorporate the skills and tools necessary to carry out this
project, including trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, EHR, and workflow
training.
3. Implement Behavioral Health Case Load Management Tool $200,000
This tool will be used by the Behavioral Health providers to track patient panels, review
provider-level outcomes, conduct caseload review, follow-up with patients dropping out of
care, monitor referrals, and review treatment plan adherence.
Attachment B
Page 8 of 39
4. Implement patient completed electronic screening tools $150,000
Screening tools for all age groups will be built into the patient portal in the EHR for all
patients seen for primary care services to complete prior to their visits. Results will be reviewed
by the primary care provider and brief interventions will be provided by the collaborative care
team.
5. Other Professional Development cclink builds $100,000
Other EHR enhancements include open scheduling for initial behavioral health evaluations,
optimizing workflows and clinical documentation.

Buchanan Field Air Traffic Control Tower
Project Name: Buchanan Field Air Traffic Control Tower
General description of the project and why it is needed: Relocate and construct a new Air
Traffic Control Tower. The tower is 60 years old and in need of substantial, expensive repairs such
as new siding and windows to mitigate leaks, replacing the HVAC system , replacing the roof,
replacing the original tile flooring and paint which contain hazardous materials, substantial
upgrade of the plumbing and electrical systems, and modifying the entire building to meet
ADA/OSHA standards.
Buchanan Field is a former military facility and is over 75 years old. It is an active Part 139
Airport that has scheduled commercial service, 3 FBOs, and several thriving flights schools and
clubs that result in over 100,000 operations annually. Buchanan Field has dual pairs of crosswind
runways and an extensive and complex taxiway system. The current entitlement funds are used
to address Master Plan priorities such as runway rehabilitation and reconstruction, taxiway
rehabilitation and reconstruction, security upgrades, replacement of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire
Fighting equipment and facility, airfield electrical and lighting upgrades, updating the Airport
Layout Plan, and removing unsafe and unnecessary pavement to reduce incursions. There are
eighteen pavement, safety, security, planning, and system upgrade projects identified on the
Airports' ten-year ACIP, totaling over $20,000,000. All of the current and proposed AIP projects
are necessary to keep this 75 year-old facility in a safe operating condition for current and
forecasted aviation use. A new tower is important for long-term viability of the airport but, given
the extensive list of higher priority projects and costs associated, it continues to be out-prioritized
on the priority and funding list. Further, due to the numerous airports in the San Francisco region
that annual compete for AIP discretionary funds, it is improbable that a majority of the annual
funding would be allocated for a new tower at one regional airport. The cost also far exceeds the
financial capacity of the Airport Enterprise Fund.
The benefits of this project and why is it a priority:
Having a tower at Buchanan Field Airport correlates with positive economic development.
Specifically, having a tower has, and continues to, open up economic development opportunities
such as the recent, attraction of new scheduled commercial service and an influx of corporate jets
(from 18 to 25, or a 39% increase to date) to Buchanan Field Airport. The added aviation activity
has increased revenues to the Airport Enterprise Fun which directly enhances financial stability
of the Airport Enterprise Fund. Business attraction also increases the direct and indirect
economic impact and number of jobs generated by the airport.
Buchanan Field Airport is a nonprimary, regional airport with over 100,000 annual operations;
the number of operations continue to steadily increase each year. The current tower has reached
the end of its useful life and has extensive ongoing maintenance costs and needs significant
upgrades in order to meet current building codes, ADA requirements, and Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. In addition, the adopted Master Plan development
plan includes the construction of a new tower with a preferred location on the other side of the
airport which is at the apex of the runway visibility zone to increase visibility and safety of the
Attachment B
Page 10 of 39
airfield and to enhance operational capacity. As such, it is more cost effective to build a new
tower in the preferred location rather than retrofitting the existing tower to address the various
health and safety issues.
Replacing an antiquated and non-code compliant tower with a new one is fully consistent with
fundamental objectives of AIP funding; (1) to provide a safe and secure airport and airway
system; and (2) to develop reliever airports. The new tower will provide greater visibility of the
airfield and the newer technology will greatly enhance safety and provide more efficient air
traffic services. Air traffic control towers are undeniably integral to flight safety and facilitating
air traffic services.
Building a new tower in a differing location, as outlined in the 2008 Master Plan, has an added
financial and safety benefit by not having to make expensive, temporary tower arrangements
while the work was underway.
Contra Costa County has a long and solid track record for leveraging and managing federal,
state, and local grant funding necessary to expedite project implementation. As an example of
our grant management stewardship, we have leveraged over $3.7 million over the last 5 years
and have successfully completed the projects and closed out the grants within 3 years.
Buchanan Field Airport is poised for continuous growth and utility as it is centrally located, has
direct access to two freeways, maintains its FAR Part 139 Certificate, has onsite Aircraft Rescue
and Fire Fighting, and is proximate to essentially a new city when the former Concord Naval
Weapons station (2,300 acres) is converted to industrial, commercial and residential uses.
Further, as the Airport is within the airspace for the San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento
Airports, it is anticipated that smaller general aviation and commercial activity will relocate to
Buchanan Field as the primary airports reach maximum utility. Constructing a new air traffic
control tower is necessary to address the multitude of building issues described above plus it is a
proactive approach to best ensure that it can manage the future aviation activity.
Amount requested for the community project for FY22 and the total project cost: The total
project cost is $12,500,00 and the amount requested is $12,500,000.
Can the project obligate all appropriated funds within 12 months after enactment? No,
project design and environmental analysis would be performed initially. We anticipate that
construction would begin within 18-months of funding award.
Estimated start and completion dates: Depending upon funding release timing, the anticipated
project implementation start date is July 1, 2021, and full project completion is expected by mid-
2025 (weather depending).
Has the request been submitted to another subcommittee or committee this fiscal year? No.
Does the project have other public and/or private funds committed for forecasted costs
related to operations and maintenance? If so, what is the source and amount of those
funds? The FAA’s annual rent would be used to fund the operation and maintenance of this
facility once it is constructed.
Attachment B
Page 11 of 39
Does the project require an environmental review? If so, what is the status and/or outcome
of the environmental review and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) category of
action (if applicable)? This project is subject to environmental review; both the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended. The environmental review processes would be initiated once the project has undergone
initial design.
How will the project contribute to the airports disadvantaged business enterprise goals?
Project construction would be subject to a DBE goal.
Has the project received previous Federal funding? If so, how much and which public law
provided it? No.
Is the project AIP-eligible? Yes
What is the airport’s code? CCR
Has the airport submitted a grant application for this same project to FAA? If so, when?
Yes, a supplemental AIP application was submitted for funding in Fiscal Year 2018/19. The
project was not selected for supplemental funding at that time.
Would the project increase or decrease air traffic? This project should not impact air traffic
volume.
Would the project increase or decrease aviation safety? This project should increase aviation
safety as the current tower location is not in the best location for visibility of the entire airfield.
Would the project increase or decrease environmental risks? This project should not impact
environmental risks.
Does the airport and airport sponsor support the project? Yes, this project is positively
supported by the airport sponsor and its various stakeholders.
Are there any stakeholders – such as residents that live near the airport, state or local
officials, state department of transportation officials – that oppose the project? We are
unaware of any stakeholders that oppose the project.

Buchanan Field ARFF, Administrative Office and Terminal Building
Project Name: Buchanan Field ARFF, Administrative Office and Terminal Building
General description of the project and why it is needed: The Buchanan Field Airport Master
Plan adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 28, 2008, identifies a new general aviation
terminal on the capital improvement list. The new terminal will replace the existing terminal at the
north end of John Glenn Drive. Plans and specifications for the construction of the terminal, along
with landscaping and parking, have been prepared.
The new terminal will be a single-story, steel building consisting of approximately 18,657 square
feet. The new terminal will include space for the Airports Division Administrative staff, Airport
Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) staff and equipment, public space to support
scheduled/unscheduled air service providers, office space for aviation businesses, and general
public meeting space. The Airports Division currently rents office space from one of the airport
businesses and moving those functions into the new terminal will accommodate the additional
office space needed, while resulting in long-term savings to the Airport Enterprise Fund.
The estimated total cost of the project is approximately $13.7 million. An AIP grant application
was submitted to the FAA for Fiscal Year 2020-21 funding in the amount of $9,522,492 and an
application was submitted to Caltrans in the amount of $150,000. FAA staff have indicated that
there is deficient funding available to cover the full requested eligible amount; they have
indicated that approximately $6.3 million can be provided. Assuming the FAA and Caltrans
grant allocations, the Airport Enterprise Fund would be obligated to pay the remaining
approximate $7.4 million balance. The Airport Enterprise Fund will also pay the added costs to
complete the space including furnishings, window coverings, and the like. The Airport
Enterprise Fund can comfortably cover a portion of the necessary added funding but is unable to
cover the entire amount without negative impact to numerous other planned capital improvement
projects. The added cost also exceeds the financial capacity of the Airport Enterprise Fund.
The benefits of this project and why is it a priority: The terminal project is a milestone project
for the Buchanan Field Airport. The current terminal facility is over 40 years old and is a double
wide trailer that has outlived its useful life. Buchanan Field maintains its Part 139 certificate and
has one scheduled, charter provider. Other commercial airlines have indicated strong interest in
establishing a presence at Buchanan Field but the current terminal facilities are too substandard
to meet their operation requirements. The expanded facility will directly increase economic
development opportunities and enhance available aviation services at Buchanan Field.
Building a new terminal building, as outlined in the 2008 Master Plan, has an added financial
and safety benefit by not having to make expensive, temporary arrangements while the work was
underway. Having an updated and expanded terminal at Buchanan Field Airport correlates with
positive economic development. Specifically, having a terminal has, and continues to, open up
economic development opportunities such as the recent, attraction of new scheduled commercial
service and an influx of corporate jets (from 18 to 25, or a 39% increase to date) to Buchanan
Field Airport. The added aviation activity has increased revenues to the Airport Enterprise Fun

which directly enhances financial stability of the Airport Enterprise Fund. Business attraction
also increases the direct and indirect economic impact and number of jobs generated by the
airport.
Amount requested for the community project for FY22 and the total project cost: The total
project cost is $13,717,689 and the amount requested is $6,500,000.
Can the project obligate all appropriated funds within 12 months after enactment? Yes, this
project is ready to be constructed.
Estimated start and completion dates: The anticipated start date is July 1, 2021, and
completion is expected by the end of 2022.
Has the request been submitted to another subcommittee or committee this fiscal year? No.
Does the project have other public and/or private funds committed for forecasted costs
related to operations and maintenance? If so, what is the source and amount of those
funds? The Airport Enterprise Fund will fund the operation and maintenance of this facility once
it is constructed. The annual Airport Enterprise Fund budget is about $5.3 million.
Does the project require an environmental review? If so, what is the status and/or outcome
of the environmental review and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) category of
action (if applicable)? Environmental review was performed, and the project was categorically
exempt from the review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per
section 15302(b). The notice of exemption was filed on December 5, 2019 with the Contra Costa
County Clerk. NEPA review was also performed and the FAA determined that it was categorically
excluded pursuant to FAA Order 1050.1F as it relates to the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969, as amended.
How will the project contribute to the airports disadvantaged business enterprise goals?
Project construction has a 7% DBE goal.
Has the project received previous Federal funding? If so, how much and which public law
provided it? Yes, this project received $270,000 in Fiscal Year 2018/19 in AIP funding for a
portion of the design cost.
Is the project AIP-eligible? Yes
What is the airport’s code? CCR
Has the airport submitted a grant application for this same project to FAA? If so, when?
Yes, an AIP application was submitted for and funded for the ARFF component design work in
Fiscal Year 2018/19.
Would the project increase or decrease air traffic? Expansion of the terminal facility is
necessary to attract more charter and commercial aviation providers. As such, we expect that the
project will result in an increase in air traffic over time.

Would the project increase or decrease aviation safety? This project should not impact
aviation safety.
Would the project increase or decrease environmental risks? This project should not impact
environmental risks.
Does the airport and airport sponsor support the project? Yes, this project is positively
supported by the airport sponsor and its various stakeholders.
Are there any stakeholders – such as residents that live near the airport, state or local
officials, state department of transportation officials – that oppose the project? We are
unaware of any stakeholders that oppose the project. The project was a key component in our
Master Plan Update that was performed in 2008. The Master Plan process had a very high
stakeholder and general public participation process; there were no objections conveyed to this
project during that process.

Byron Airport Utility Program
Project Name: Byron Airport Utility Program
Project Description, Need and Timing: The Byron Airport is poised for future general and corporate
aviation and aviation-related development, but that future growth and full build out of the airport as shown
in the adopted 2005 Master Plan is dependent upon utility improvements (such as sewer and water
connections) both on and around the Airport. Byron Airport does not have water or sewer services and relies
on a non-potable water service, a septic system, a fire pond and related facilities for fire suppression, sewer
services, and potable water. The existing systems offer limited capacity for new development permitted
under the Airport Master Plan.
Byron Airport will not be able to achieve build out and provide expanded transportation services for the
region unless and until it has potable water, enhanced fire pond improvements and sewer system
improvements. This is a high priority project as it is critical to facilitate growth, economic development
opportunities, transportation and connectivity, and best serve the East Contra Costa County region.
If funded, system designs and environmental analysis will begin immediately upon receipt of funding.
This work is anticipated to take a maximum of twelve months; timing is dependent on the environmental
work. Construction of the improvements will commence upon completion of the design and
environmental work. The entire project is expected to be completed within twenty-four months of funding
provided.
Total Amount Requested and Project Estimated Total: The funding request is for $5,800,000 and the
total estimated cost is $6,000,000 for the water connection and treatment, fire pond improvements, and
sewer system improvements.
Has this Project been Submitted to another Subcommittee or Committee: No.
Source of other Funds Committed for Match or Maintenance: Yes, the Airport Enterprise Fund will
pay for any project match and on-going maintenance obligations.
Does Project Require an Environmental Review: Yes, the project is subject to CEQA and NEPA will
be required in order to change the Airport Layout Plan to depict the improvements.
Type of Project: The project will primarily promote economic development potential.
Does Project Primarily Benefit Low Income Persons or Tribal Communities: No.
Does Project Impact Beneficiaries of HUD’s Rental Assistance Programs: No.
Community Partners Participating in Project: The Aviation Advisory Committee, Elected Officials,
economic development organizations, businesses, and the Airport Land Use Commission.
Is Project Included in HUD Consolidated Plan: No.
Is Project Intended to Address Issues Related to Climate Change or resiliency, civil unrest, or
inequalities: No.

New Bay Point Library Tenant Improvements
1. Requesting Entity (Legal Title): Contra Costa County-Library
2. Full Address (please write on one line): 777 Arnold Drive, Martinez CA 94553
3. Requesting Entity Staff Contact Info: Name/Title/Phone/Email: Alison McKee, County Librarian,
510-332-7386, alison.mckee@library.cccounty.us
4. Project Name: New Bay Point Library Tenant Improvements
5. Funding Amount Requested: $1,000,000
6. Total Cost of Project and breakdown of funding sources (detail all local, state and/or private
funds. Are these funds secured, expected, or you are still seeking?): [still gathering this info]
7. Description of Project: The project involves tenant improvement costs associated with
relocating the Bay Point Library from the existing site on a middle school campus to a mixed-use,
high density, transit oriented development within the Pittsburg-Bay Point BART Station Area
Specific Plan. The approximately 21,000 sq. ft. library space is being planned as part of a 340-
unit mixed-income, mixed use development located at Bailey Road and Maylard Avenue. The
site is a former Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency-owned site that is subject to an
Exclusive Negotiating Agreement between Contra Costa County and Pacific West Communities.
The library space is planned in the first phase of the development.
8. Project Justification (Need for the project): The current Bay Point library is co-located on a
middle-school campus and is inadequate in size for the Bay Point population of 25,808. The
County has identified Bay Point as a disadvantaged community under Senate Bill (SB) 1000,
which requires the County to integrate environmental justice into the General Plan. This law is
based on the understanding that some communities have experienced a combination of historic
discrimination, negligence, and political and economic disempowerment. Often, this has
resulted in a disproportionate burden of pollution and health impacts and disproportionate
social and economic disadvantages in these communities. New investment in public facilities,
such as a library, is a step toward providing equitable services to the community.
9. Justification for why the project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds and is a public
benefit: The Bay Point community, along with other disadvantaged communities in
unincorporated Contra Costa County, have identified draft policies and actions to be
incorporated into the Strong Communities Element of the Draft General Plan 2040. These
include:
a. The development of public amenities, services, and related infrastructure to residents
of disadvantaged communities within walking distance of their homes is an important
action to support.
b. Support community-driven or community-led initiatives in impacted communities that
work toward the goals identified in the community profiles. Support could include
Attachment B
Page 17 of 39
technical assistance and providing staff resources and meeting spaces, among other
methods.
c. Systematically prioritize investments in public facilities, infrastructure, and services that
benefit impacted communities and respond to the needs identified in the community
profiles.
d. Advocate for and coordinate with various service providers (e.g., water, sewer, and
recreation districts) for proper planning, maintenance, and implementation of services
and infrastructure to ensure efficient and effective service delivery in impacted
communities.
e. Continue to advocate for public-private partnerships that will improve access to reliable,
fast internet and make digital resources available in impacted communities at affordable
prices.
f. Inform impacted community residents about internet resources available in their
community and provide them with information about how to use digital resources.
g. Prioritize needs and services in each impacted community as part of the annual
budgeting process.
h. Establish a task force of County department heads or their immediate deputies to
coordinate efforts, provide oversight, and otherwise ensure that public services and
facilities in impacted communities are prioritized and efficiently and effectively
delivered.
i. Require new development to site sensitive receptors such as homes, schools,
playgrounds, sports fields, childcare centers, senior centers, and long-term health care
facilities as far away as possible from significant pollution sources.
All of the above points could be addressed by a new public library that serves the community of Bay
Point.
10. If you are a public entity, is the project on your Capital Improvement Program? (Please
provide documentation or explain why not):
No. Since the Bay Point Library is currently located inside of a public middle school, it is not a
county owned property that would be included in a capital improvement plan. In the past year,
an opportunity has come up to partner with an affordable-housing developer at a Transit-
Oriented development site on County-owned property that will include a replacement for the
current Bay Point Library. Additionally, the County has designated the Bay Point Library as
needing to be replaced in every annual report to the California State Library since at least 2008.
11. Upload Capital Improvement Program documentation
12. Explanation of how the federal funds will be spent (for example, on equipment, construction,
labor, etc.): Funds would be spent on tenant improvements for the library, which includes,
furniture, fixtures, flooring, interior walls, technology ….
13. Cities in which the project is located and will be performed: The proposed library site is in the
unincorporated community of Bay Point, in the sphere of influence of Pittsburg.

10. Justification for why the project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds and is a
public benefit: These buildings are the core of community service provided by our
Veterans Service Organizations. Many of these buildings are 100 years old and are
in need of capital improvements to make them more energy efficient, environmentally
healthy, and safer for our public to utilize. In 2006, the communities of Lafayette and
Walnut Creek were able to leverage redevelopment funds to construct a new building
in Lafayette. These funds are no longer available to communities, and some
Veterans Service Organizations have had to rely on pancake breakfast fundraisers to
maintain buildings and keep their doors open. A building that is functional and
inviting to the public allows these organizations to refocus their time and energy

infrastructure on Market Avenue is deficient, and bicycle infra-
structure doesn’t exist on a street corridor where vehicle lanes are

Local Rural Bridge Replacements
PÙʹã OòÙò®ó
Contra Costa County is blessed with the diversity of both urban and
rural settings. The management of the rural road bridge includes the
financial burden of the upgrades and upkeep as most of these bridg-
es are 70+ years old and nearing their life span. Local jurisdictions
are provided assistance through the federal Highway Bridge Program
(HBP) which is currently unable to fund all the bridge replacement
and upkeep for those eligible bridges.
Through our annual bridge inspection reports, there are many local
bridges desperately in need of replacement, retrofit, or preventative
maintenance. The replacement of small 20’ county bridges in a year
would burden the maintenance dollars in the local road budget that
could provide preventative maintenance for up to 80 miles of road-
way surfaces.
This proposed Local Road Bridge Replacements project includes the
replacement of two local bridges on Morgan Territory Road and aug-
mentation funds to include road shoulders for traffic safety upgrades
desired with the replacement of two bridges on Marsh Creek Road.
The federal HBP program cannot fund the $1.5 M betterment to up-
grade road shoulders at this bridge although all stakeholders realize
the cost benefit of this upgrade occurring with the reconstruction.
In addition to the local funding need for the bridges on Morgan Ter-
ritory Road and Marsh Creek Road, the current federal Highway
Bridge Program does not have funding available for many other
bridges that qualify for funds under the HBP. Additional funds are
needed to replace bridges on Marsh Creek Road, Byron Highway,
Pleasant Hill Road, Second Street, as well as preventative mainte-
nance work to paint/seal bridges and other preventative work
amounts to an additional $38.3M that would normally come from the
federal government.
There is a race between the timeline of failure of the bridge infra-
structure and the ability to fund and build these public safety pro-
jects. Although the high cost to maintain these bridges exceeds the
ability of the local agency, the cost of not maintaining these bridges
is even higher.

Countywide
PÙʹã OòÙò®ó
The Countywide Curb Ramp program will fulfill Contra Costa County’s
intention to make the County’s transportation infrastructure accessible
to users of all levels of mobility by installing curb ramps at intersec-
tions with sidewalks that do not currently have curb ramps installed.
Currently, the County allots $100,000 annually to the Curb Ramp pro-
gram. This is not a sufficient amount to complete the necessary work
to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements in a timely
manner. The cost to install the needed infrastructure is currently esti-
mated to be approximately $9 million. A gradual transition on an an-
nual basis is not only slow but results in higher cost per a curb ramp.
This project consists of a complete upgrade of sidewalks to ADA
standards in the unincorporated Contra Costa areas so that a more
cost efficient magnitude of scale can be implemented and be much
more cost efficient as well as get improvements installed to serve our
residents.
As the County’s population ages, the need to complete the installation
of curb ramps becomes even more important. In 2010, the population
of Contra Costa County aged 65 or older was estimated at 131,735.
By 2040, this number is expected to grow to 373,444, an increase of
184%.
The proposed ADA Curb

Carquinez Middle School
Trail Connection
CrockeƩ
PÙʹã OòÙò®ó
The Carquinez Middle School Trail Connection project includes con-
struction of a multi-use trail to close a gap in the Carquinez Strait
Scenic Loop Trail (CSSLT), which is a spur of the greater Bay Trail.
This multi-use trail will provide bicycle and pedestrian access along
the east side of the Carquinez Middle School from Crockett Boule-
vard to Willow High School in the Crockett community. The project
also includes a high visibility crosswalk across Crockett Boulevard
with rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB). This project will
serve the local school community to improve safety for walking and
biking to school as well as serve the greater Crockett community and
also serve the region as this will close a key link in the CSSLT which
provides a popular bridge to bridge bike route that loops from the
Benicia/Martinez Bridge to the Carquinez Bridge.
Contra Costa County is partnering with the John Swett Unified
School District (JSUSD) on this project. The project will encourage
pedestrian and bicycle use and will provide a safe, convenient, and
accessible trail for pedestrians who travel along the west side of the
busy, high-speed Crockett Boulevard.
The Carquinez Middle School Trail Connection project will remove a
barrier to pedestrians and bicyclists who access local schools and
trail facilities within the Crockett community.
The ADA accessible perspective of the project will be highly valuable
as parents, grandparents and other family members can more easily
participate in school events as the existing option of either a three
story staircase or a route on the road shoulder is burdensome not
only for wheelchair users but those who have only mild mobility
challenges.
The multi-benefit of this project is that it provides a much needed
safe and accessible connection for the school community but it also
provides a critical 1300-foot segment for bicyclists and pedestrians
along the planned Carquinez Straight Scenic Loop Trail (CSSLT).
The trail will connect users to over 10,000 acres of open space
lands. In addition, completing the CSSLT will create public health,
economic, and social equity benefits for the residents and communi-
ties around the Carquinez Strait and the region.

Vasco Road is a principal rural arterial that is heavily traveled by commuters, and carries
22,000 vehicles per day. Phase II is the final phase of the overall 2.5-mile Vasco Road
Safety Improvements project and will complete the concrete median barrier along the
roadway in the most curvy and hilly section within Contra Costa County. These long term
upgrades and improvements will provide substantial safety improvements to the roadway.
During the 12 years from January 1996 through December 2007, there were 352 collisions
on Vasco Road, of which eight were fatal and 136 involved injuries. The highest cluster of
collisions occurred in the southern portion of the road where terrain is hilly, the road is
curvy, and two lanes narrow to one lane in the southbound direction. The Vasco Road
Safety Improvements project is located in this area. In the 5 years from 2010 to 2014, a
total of 105 collisions occurred along Vasco Road with 74 people injured and one fatality.
The County has already seen an improvement in safety on Vasco Road since Phase I was
completed in 2012 and expect similar improvements with Phase II implementation.
The project will improve safety on Vasco Road by widening the roadway and constructing
a concrete median barrier along a portion of this principal rural arterial. These safety im-
provements are expected to significantly reduce cross median head-on collisions and pro-
vide more area for vehicle recovery. The extent of these improvements is 1.5 miles, ex-
tending between 4 miles and 5.5 miles north of the Contra Costa/Alameda County line in
East Contra Costa County.
The primary element keeping these life saving improvements from moving forward is the
funding shortfall. Improvement plans are ready and this project is truly shovel ready.

Norris Canyon Road Safety Improvement
San Ramon
PÙʹã OòÙò®ó
Norris Canyon Road is a narrow rural road that winds through the
hills of Bollinger Canyon along the banks of San Catanio Creek.
The existing road width is 20 feet, with 10-foot wide travel lanes
and limited to non existent road shoulders. At several locations,
severe incisions of San Catanio Creek has resulted in a steep
creek bank immediately adjacent to the rural road. During the last
decade, two run-off-the-road collisions resulted in fatalities as the
adjacent creek drops approximately twenty feet or more below
the roadway. The proposed widening project that includes 11-foot
lanes, 5-foot shoulders, retaining walls, and a metal beam guard-
rail is intended to: keep motorists from leaving the roadway to
minimize injury as a result of collisions.
Roadway widening is proposed along Norris Canyon Road for
1,000 feet starting from 0.15 miles southwest from the intersec-
tion of Ashbourne Road and traveling westward. To accommo-
date widening from two 10-foot lanes to two 11-foot lanes with 5-
foot shoulders, the project includes roadway excavation and con-
struction of a soil-nail and shotcrete type wall on the north side of
the road into a substantial upslope. Depending on the ultimate
alignment, the project may also include a retaining wall near the
downslope of the south side of the road above San Catanio Creek.
The project also includes installation of a metal beam guard rail
on the south side of the road to protect errant vehicles from driv-
ing into the Creek.

PÙʹã OòÙò®ó
The San Pablo Avenue Complete Street/Bay Trail Gap Closure Project will im-
plement a road diet on San Pablo Avenue between the unincorporated commu-
nities of Rodeo and Crockett. This road diet will narrow the existing four lanes
of San Pablo Avenue to three. With the space created by removing the fourth
lane, a path separated from the road will be constructed giving bicyclists and
pedestrians a safe means of transportation along San Pablo Avenue.
There are currently no existing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure on the 3.2
miles of San Pablo Avenue that connect Rodeo and Crockett. As a result, non-
motorized users are forced to use the travel lane as shown in the picture to the
right. The path created from this project is classified as a class I shared used
path and will be 10 feet wide with a 2-foot-wide physical barrier separating the
path from the road.
Not only does this path provide safer travel for pedestrians and bicyclists but
this path also further adds to the San Francisco Bay Trail. Currently the Bay
Trail has approximately 350 miles of trail in place out of 500 miles. This path
will close a 3.2-mile gap in the Bay Trail while also completing a 29 continuous
miles stretch of the Bay Trail from Oakland to Vallejo. By giving residents the
ability to access the Bay Trail, they will be connected to the larger Bay Area
through the numerous connections of the Bay Trial.

The San Pablo Avenue Complete Street project will provide residents
with improved access to safely walk or bike along the San Pablo Ave-
nue corridor. The project will improve access for all users, encourage
active transportation modes, improve access to key destinations such
as employment, restaurants, or businesses, and as a result will reduce
GHG emissions and will improve public health by fighting obesity with
an active lifestyle. Residents of Rodeo can walk or bike to their desti-
nation to Crockett instead of driving and vice versa. This project aims
to create a safe means for non-motorized users to travel along San
Pablo Avenue and for them to be connected the greater Bay Area
through the San Francisco Bay Trail.

Appian Way Complete Streets
El Sobrante
PÙʹã OòÙò®ó
Once a two-lane rural road, Appian Way has become a major collector
street for the region and accordingly widened incrementally in segments
as Contra Costa County has developed, creating challenges at pedestrian
crossings and overall walkability.
The proposed Appian Way Pedestrian Crossings Enhancements project
will increase safety and accessibility at intersections for non-motorized
and/or disabled users who cross the 60-foot wide street. Driver aware-
ness of pedestrians crossing the roadway will increase with the installa-
tion of pedestrian-activated flashing beacons. This project will encourage
the walkability of Appian Way corridor and active transportation, con-
sistent with complete streets policies.
This project is the first phase of a larger community-based plan to im-
prove and redevelop the Appian Way corridor. This corridor is a commer-
cial zone with mixed land use, including low and high density residential,
and community gathering places such as churches, schools, and the pub-
lic library. Appian Way experiences about 11,000 vehicles daily and serves
as one of two arterial roadways for the El Sobrante community.
This segment of Appian Way has experienced 8 serious collisions involv-
ing pedestrians and/or bicyclist including one fatality over a ten year peri-
od. This project aims to reduce the number of collisions and improve the
health and safety of this community.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute a memorandum of
understanding and a related addendum with the State of California establishing the State's conditions for
allocating and providing COVID-19 vaccines to the County to administer to eligible individuals.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
This is a non-fiscal memorandum of understanding and a related addendum between the County, through
Contra Costa Health Services, and the State, through the State’s Government Operations Agency. The
purpose of the MOU and addendum is to establish the State’s expectations and conditions for the County’s
continued eligibility to receive allocations of COVID-19 vaccine.
Under the MOU, the State will continue to supply the County with the COVID-19 vaccine to administer to
its patients in connection with its ongoing vaccination efforts. The State will make efforts to assure that
County is allocated sufficient doses of the vaccine for administration to eligible individuals by the County
as a health care provider. The State does not guarantee any

minimum or maximum amount of vaccine that may be allocated to the County. Blue Shield is the
State’s third-party administrator of the statewide vaccinating provider network, and the MOU requires
the State to ensure that Blue Shield understands that the County is dependent on a sufficient supply of
the vaccine from the State for its ongoing vaccine administration. In turn, the MOU requires the County
to recognize that the State is dependent on the federal government for allocation of vaccine and that
changing circumstances in the pandemic may require reallocation of vaccine to providers and to
communities that are suffering from significant outbreaks of COVID-19 or where the local health care
system is stressed. The MOU allows the State to change the amount or type of vaccines that may be
allocated to the County at any time.
The addendum requires the State to endeavor to ensure that the County receives proportional doses
given its focus on serving the segments of the populations most impacted by COVID-19. The State’s
allocations to the County are required to reflect both the County’s population and the County’s existing
role in serving the highest risk communities and coordinating its vaccination efforts. The addendum also
requires the State to include all County-supported vaccination sites when considering the State’s
allocation to the County. The addendum allows the County to distribute portions of vaccines allocated to
the County to County-supported sites. Further, the addendum requires Blue Shield and the County to
jointly and directly propose to the State allocation distributions for all vaccine providers participating in
the statewide network of vaccination providers within the County.
The MOU requires the County to use MyTurn or another technology platform as directed by the State to
submit data to the State. The addendum allows County-operated clinics to delay transitioning to MyTurn
until the County and the State agree that the use of MyTurn will not interfere with the vaccine
distribution efforts of County clinics. The MOU also requires the County to establish and maintain an
electronic interface to either the State Immunization Registry or an appropriate County Immunization
Registry, and to MyTurn. The MOU also requires the County to follow criteria established by the State
Department of Public Health in determining individuals’ eligibility for vaccination appointments and
prioritization of appointments.
The MOU is effective until completion of COVID-19 vaccination services, unless the County or the
State withdraws from the MOU earlier by providing 60 days advance notice.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The MOU and addendum would not be signed.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
California Government Operations Agency
and
the County of Contra Costa
The California Government Operations Agency (Agency) and the County of Contra Costa
hereinafter referred to singularly as “the Party” and collectively as “the Participants,” in an effort
to provide for the vaccination of Californians in order to mitigate the continued spread of
COVID-19, have reached the following understanding, and agree as follows:
SECTION 1
Objective
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is to establish Agency’s
expectations and conditions for County’s continued eligibility for allocation of COVID-19
vaccine. Agency recognizes the unique role played by County in providing vaccine access to
California’s underserved communities.
SECTION 2
Statement of Understanding
A. Agency, together with the Department of Public Health (Department), (a) has supplied,
and will continue to supply County, subject to the limitation in subparagraph B of this
Section 2, with the COVID-19 vaccine for administration to its patients in connection
with its ongoing vaccination efforts, and (b) will exercise reasonable efforts to assure that
County is allocated sufficient doses o f the vaccine for administration to eligible
individuals by the County as a health care provider. Agency acknowledges and shall
ensure that Blue Shield of California as the third-party administrator (TPA) for the
statewide vaccinating provider network understands that County is dependent on
sufficient supply of the vaccine from the State for its ongoing vaccine administration.
County recognizes that Agency is dependent on the federal government for allocation of
vaccine and that changing circumstances in the pandemic may require reallocation of
vaccine to providers and to communities that are suffering from significant outbreaks of
COVID-19 or where the local health care system is stressed ; and
B. Agency makes no guarantee or commitment for any minimum or maximum amount of
COVID-19 vaccine that may be allocated to County; and
C. County shall not reallocate or redistribute to other health care providers any vaccine it
receives through its allocations. County shall use all vaccine it receives through its
allocations to administer to individuals it serves as a health care provider; and
Page 2 of 6
D. Agency reserves the right at any time to provide County notice of changes in the amount
or type of vaccines that may be allocated to the County and/or any of County’s
vaccination site(s) for administration to vaccine recipients to facilitate administration of
the COVID-19 vaccine. Agency will provide County as much advance notice of such
changes as is reasonably feasible in order to assist County in its vaccination planning.
County acknowledges that vaccine allocation decisions will be made using the State
allocation algorithm, as may be modified from time to time ; and
E. County shall use MyTurn (MyTurn.ca.gov), or other technology platform as directed by
Agency to submit all required data reasonably necessary for Agency to manage the
statewide vaccine network that is related to County’s administration of the COVID-19
vaccine. County shall prepare and maintain complete and accurate vaccine-related
medical and other records and reports relating to the administration of the COVID-19
vaccine (collectively, “Records”), in a form maintained in accordance with the generally
accepted standards applicable to such Records, and in compliance with applicable State
and federal confidentiality and privacy laws. Agency, and any authorized governmental
officials entitled to such access by law, may at any time during the term of this MOU and
for a period of at least three (3) years after the termination of this MOU or such longer
period as may be required by applicable State or federal law, request access to such
Records for inspection, including as part of a virtual or in-person site compliance request.
County shall participate in and cooperate with any audit, oversight and monitoring
processes conducted by Agency, including, without limitation, that County agrees to
allow the auditor(s) access to Records during normal busines s hours to examine Records
and upon reasonable notice, reproduce Records at no charge by County and to allow
interviews of any employees who might reasonably have information related to such
Records; and
F. County shall not under any circumstances bill, charge, collect a deposit from, impose a
surcharge on, directly or indirectly seek compensation, remuneration or reimbursement
from, or have any recourse against any vaccine recipient for the cost of vaccine
administration or related services, provided, however, that County can bill government
health programs such as Medi-Cal, Medicare, and HRSA, and private insurance carriers
for vaccine administration or other related costs; and
G. County shall have the ability to establish and will maintain an electronic interface to
either the State Immunization Registry or appropriate County Immunization Registry and
MyTurn.ca.gov (or other appropriate electronic health record interface as directed by
Agency). To the extent applicable and for purposes of clarity, the Participants
acknowledge and agree that a County with an industry-standard and certified Electronic
Medical Record system (e.g., EPIC, Cerner, or any vaccine information system that
meets the requirements for integrating with MyTurn), may leverage a standard interface
Page 3 of 6
defined by Agency to connect from MyTurn to Scheduling and Vaccine Clinic
Management with an electronic interface to the State Immunization Registry; and
H. County shall follow criteria established by the Department in determining individuals’
eligibility for vaccination appointments and prioritization of appointments, including
targeting appointments to members of underserved communities that have suffered a
disproportionate burden of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
I. County acknowledges that, by signing this MOU, it is joining the statewide network of
providers administering the COVID-19 vaccine that is supported by the TPA, acting as
Agency’s agent and at Agency’s direction. County acknowledges Agency’s expectation
that all providers in the statewide vaccinator network will reasonably cooperate with the
TPA in facilitating efficient administration of the COVID-19 vaccine.
SECTION 3
Services and Activities
County shall provide the following services (the “Services”):
A. Within no more than twenty-four (24) hours of administering a dose of COVID-19
vaccine and adjuvant (if applicable), County shall record in the vaccine recipient’s
record, and shall report complete and accurate vaccine administration data required in the
MyTurn reporting tool and other technology platforms required by Agency and CDC
(such as, for example, VaccineFinder, and CAIR2) or other appropriate electronic health
record interface as permitted under subparagraph E of Section 2. Agency acknowledges
that there may be circumstances that cause delay in the submission of data, in which case
County will alert Agency and complete data recordation and submission as soon as
practicable; and
B. County shall make available at its vaccination site or sites written materials that Agency
prepares, prints, and delivers to County; and
C. County shall provide additional support as may be reasonably requested by Agency to
assist Agency in the successful COVID-19 vaccine administration.

ADDENDUM TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
California Government Operations Agency
and
County of Contra Costa
The California Government Operations Agency (Agency) and the County of Contra Costa
(County) hereinafter referred to singularly as “the Party” and collectively as “the Participants,” in
recognition of the Participants’ execution of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
governing vaccine allocation and administration:
SECTION 1
Objective
The purpose of this Addendum is to further delineate roles and responsibilities under the MOU
and to recognize the County’s critical role as a coordinator of the vaccination effort, and not
solely as a health care provider, within the County.
SECTION 2
Statement of Understanding
A. County, as a local public health jurisdiction, and Blue Shield of California, acting as
Agency’s agent as the third-party administrator (TPA) supporting the statewide network
of vaccination providers, are required to collaborate and coordinate County vaccination
plans and programs, and to jointly and directly propose to the Agency allocation
distributions for all vaccine providers participating in the statewide network within
County. Agency shall ensure that allocation recommendations to Agency are jointly
submitted by TPA and County. Agency’s allocation decisions shall be concurrently
communicated to both County and TPA.
B. Agency shall endeavor to ensure that County receives proportional doses given its focus
on serving the segments of the populations most impacted by COVID -19, and State’s
allocations to County shall reflect both the County’s population and its existing specific
role in serving the highest-risk communities and coordinating the County vaccination
efforts. Agency shall include all County-supported vaccination sites, including mobile
clinics, when considering the allocation to County. County, using its discretion and
subject to the approval of Agency and TPA, may distribute portions of vaccines allocated
to the County to County-supported sites. Accordingly, Paragraph C of Section 2 of the
MOU is modified as it pertains to County consistent with this subparagraph B.
Page 2 of 2
C. Agency shall instruct TPA to include in the statewide network, during the transition
period to TPA management of the network of vaccination providers within County, all
private, approved vaccine providers currently receiving allocations from the County that
are meeting the County’s participation requirements, which include timely data reporting
and vaccinating with a focus on equity. Providers shall make a good-faith effort to align
with requirements for participation in the statewide network as quickly as possible.
Additionally, Agency shall instruct TPA to permit such vaccine providers to transition
their sites to MyTurn at an appropriate time, consistent with adding requested
functionality to MyTurn, providing requested support for on-boarding, and addressing
identified concerns.
D. County-operated clinics shall be able to maintain “closed pod” vaccination structures to
allow them to focus on their eligible populations and shall report daily vaccine
inventories, transfers, redistributions, and reporting to CAIR2 or the appropriate County
Immunization Registry, thereby facilitating visibility and oversight for the Agency of the
entire Statewide Vaccine Network. Such clinics shall have the option of delaying
transition to MyTurn until such a time as Agency and County a gree that adoption of the
MyTurn platform will not hamper these clinics’ vaccine distribution efforts.

Contra Costa was really quick to act on that when that program was opened. The county was able to take full advantage of the
program because it had purchased the ultra low temperature freezers needed to store the Pfizer vaccine., which is a sizable
portion of what is being provided by the federal government.
Combining the state and federal supply chains, the first week of March we had about 30,000 doses. The week of March 8th, 44,000
doses came in, March 15th, 45,000 doses and this week, we now have over 84,000 doses.
So, you sort of see a pretty rapid increase which is what we were reporting and we were predicting. The rapid increase of supply
that was promised has been arriving. The majority of that being the federal supply
coming to our 11 federally qualified health centers. Our community clinics.
In partnership with our county partners, which includes Sutter, Kaiser, pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens, last week we delivered
almost 100,000 vaccines in one week. This weekend Contra Costa announced opening for people who are 50 and above to make
an appointment, reminding them it is their turn. We had over 17,000 appointments available. Thousands responded, and there
are still appointment slots available through cchealth.org. To utilize those spots Health Services is now moving to open up
eligibility to anyone in Contra Costa who is living or working in Contra Costa county who is 16 or older starting now. The website
has already been updated and the system is receiving one request per second.
To date Contra Costa County has administered over 630,000 doses of vaccine, just over 45% of the population. That is 97% of
people 75 and over; 75% of those 65 to 74, and 27% of those 16‐49. 44% of Contra Costa residents have now received at least one
dose. 25% have both doses. There are still about 375,000 people within the 16‐49 that can now register for an appointment.
Access to schedule an appointment is much faster and simpler through the online portal and all are encouraged to use that.
Alternatively people can call 1‐833‐829‐2626.
The scheduling system goes out up to seven days. The first group schedule every morning are those the Healthy Places Index
indicates are living in the hardest hit communities. The system then refreshes and sets appointments in the high risk categories
such as age‐based, and so on. While the system is not first‐come first‐served, it is very efficient with priority codes, refreshed
frequently, and will respond to registrants within a few days with an appointment.
In order to remove any barriers, Health Services will begin piloting walk‐in clinics to really eliminate the any barriers for those with
uncertain schedules. More information on those will be available next week.
Our first pilot sites will be at the Richmond auditoriorum and the Bay Point clinic, with plans to expand them.
The drive‐through site that has opened today is at Hurricane Harbor in Concord. The Governor has asked all the counties in
California to be open to schedule vaccnination to those 16 and above starting April 15th. We are beginning that today, March 30th.
Please schedule through cchealth.org. The state site, MyTurn, is not open to 16‐49 yet.
It is expected that the county call center will be overwhelmed this morning and probably the next couple of days.
But please don't hesitate to sign up. All are encouraged to use the online features for it’s simplicity and time savings.
Gilbert Salinas, Chief Equity Officer
Mr. Salinas was very pleased by the opening to 16 and over, regardless of work status, to simplify the matter of who is eligible
greatly. This is eliminating barriers. The more residents vaccinated, the soonerr Contra Costa County will reach community
immunity. The younger population needs to be vaccinated in order to stop the spread of Covid‐19.
Equity efforts have been greatly expanded in our communities by the utilization of mobile vaccine units. Contra Costa is
partnering with faith‐based organizations and community‐based organizations. We have increased from 100 vaccines per clinic to
over 300 vaccines per clinic several times a week. Next week we will have a community mobile vaccine clinic that will vaccinate
600 patients at St. Marks Church in Richmond with a goal of reaching 6,000 patients. It is planned to continuously use these
efforts to reach our historically marginalized communities. Walk in clinics will begin soon.
The County has hired 19 adult community ambassadors, three program coordinators and one manager to help with outreach by
canvassing communities, helping to get residents registered, providing face‐to‐face education and answering questions from our
community. They are out in the community. We felt their impact immediately.
On the data side, we are working with the Information Technology Department to use data to help us identify hotspots, utilizing
geomapping. The ambassadors will then canvass the area to provide information on our vaccine sites and provide onsite
registration to any clinics in the county. They will be walking around with iPads signing people up and we are utilizing all of our
information technology tools to locate and register the unvaccinated.
Dr. Tzvieli, Deputy Public Health Officer
In the time of exciting exspansion of vaccine eligibility and doses given, Dr. Tzvieli reminds us not to yet our guard down quite yet.
Cases of Covid‐19 have actually levelled off and bumped back up a little bit as well as our hospitalization numbers.
This week the county sadly received data about a 15‐year‐old who passed away back in December from COVID‐19, the first known
pediatric death in our county. While these events are incredibly rare, they are also very tragic.
So, it is just one more reminder of how urgently we need to vaccinate our community, reduce cases, reduce transmission and
outrace the potential variants that might develop when COVID goes on checked.
Contra Costa is expected to move to the orange tier, some time next week, over the weekend or on Wednesday of next week. It
depends on when the state reaches the 4 million vaccinations in the lowest HPI quartile. Currently they are at 3.4 million.
We are currently sticking to the state tier guidelines as far as what is open and what's not in every tier.
And you could find those on the state website, Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Even when we do get to the orange tier, it is really
important that we continue to mask, to socially distance when we are out in public. And when we gather with others, prioritize
doing outdoors rather than indoors. Everyone needs to follow the guidelines to hold onto the progress made.
Many states are seeing a rise in cases. The CDC director just yesterday talked about a sense of impending doom and a fourth wave
coming. So, we are continuing to stay cautious.
This morning we are opened in Hurricane Harbor (also known as water world drive‐through site). This is a joint effort between our
own Health Department and Kaiser Permanente. Cars are already there, going through the drive‐through site, getting
vaccinations. Right now the volume will be around 1,700 a day. By next week, we should be if not twice that, somewhere
between 3,000 to 4,000 a day.
It is not that it is a hundred percent reduction in transmission. The first studies showed us that the vaccine is really good at
stopping disease. But we weren't sure will you still have some asymptomatic disease and transmit it to others. The next set of
studies is coming out and showing the reduction in transmission is really along the same order of magnitude as a reduction in
disease. When you have 90% prevention of disease, you are also having the same reduction in transmission, which is fantastic.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute an amendment to the Real
Property Services Agreement with the City of Vallejo (City) effective January 1, 2021, to increase the
amount payable to Contra Costa County by $40,000, to a new payment limit of $150,000, and to extend the
termination date from December 31, 2020 to June 1, 2022, for additional services in connection with the
Sacramento Bridge Replacement Project in the Vallejo area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% City of Vallejo Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The City requires a variety of right of way services related to the Sacramento Bridge Replacement Project
but does not have right of way staff and has contracted with the County for these services. On July 24,
2018, the Board approved the original agreement between the County and City and Amendment No. 1 on
July 23, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 on February 4, 2020. The parties now wish to extend the term and
increase the payment limit to cover costs for additional right of way services required in order to extend the
already acquired rights and updating the certification of the project with Caltrans.

Subject:Consulting Services Agreement with PreScience Corporation, Concord area.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
PreScience was selected to provide construction management services for the Project after completing a
request for proposal solicitation and technical proposal process. Construction management services for the
Project includes full-time inspection, quality assurance materials testing, quality assurance surveying,
extensive coordination with project stakeholders including Caltrans, Contra Costa Water District, City of
Concord, and the East Bay Regional Park District, and in-field decision making to ensure the Project is built
per plans and specifications and meets County, City, and Caltrans Standards. Construction management
services also include recording daily activity and equipment on-site and maintaining required project
documentation. Public Works has successfully negotiated with PreScience to provide the construction
management services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors’ approval, this Consulting Services Agreement will not be in effect. A delay
in construction of the Project will occur, ultimately delaying the completion of the Project. Project delay
may also result in substantial additional project costs and jeopardize the funding.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/88 ordering the preparation and filing of an Engineer’s Report regarding
improvements to be funded by proposed assessments to be levied in Countywide Landscaping District
1979-3 in Fiscal Year 2021-2022, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3 (LL-2) funds.
BACKGROUND:
The existing Countywide Landscaping District contains thirty (30) benefit zones comprised of frontage and
road median landscaping, pedestrian bridges, parks and recreational facilities installed by developers as a
condition of their development. The annual assessments associated with the Countywide Landscaping
District 1979-3 (LL-2) fund the operation, maintenance, and capital replacement of the facilities within the
various benefit zones.
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that an annual Engineer’s Report be prepared each
fiscal year to identify any changes in the improvements and to set the ensuing fiscal year’s assessment rates.

Subject:ADOPT Resolution ordering the preparation and filing of an Engineer’s Report for Countywide Landscaping District
1979-3 for Fiscal Year 2021-22.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Fiscal Year 2021-22 assessments will be calculated by considering all anticipated expenditures for
the operation, maintenance, utilities, administration, and capital replacement costs of such facilities. If
excess revenue from a benefit zone is available from the previous fiscal year, it will be credited against
the proposed expenses for that benefit zone. The assessment rates may or may not change from fiscal
year to fiscal year, dependent upon projected costs to maintain the facilities within each benefit zone.
However, the assessment rates cannot exceed the maximum amount set when the benefit zone was
originally formed, plus an annual cost of living adjustment, if a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment
was established when the benefit zone was originally formed.
In accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, the assessment amounts proposed to be
levied for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 tax year, will be shown in the Preliminary and Final Engineer’s
Reports, which will be filed with the Board of Supervisors in May and June 2021, respectively. The June
2021 Board meeting will be a noticed public hearing to confirm the Fiscal Year 2021-22 assessment
rates.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors’ approval there would be no initiation of the process to prepare the
Engineer’s Report and to assess levies for the Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3 (LL-2) for
Fiscal Year 2021-22, and thus funds would not be available to maintain the landscaping and other
improvements in the benefit zones throughout the County.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2021–2022 rate per ERU is the same as that set for fiscal year 2020–2021. Therefore, there will be no
change in rate for Unincorporated County property owners. The unincorporated area of Contra Costa
County will produce approximately $3,479,000, which will be used to implement the Unincorporated
County’s Watershed Program. All associated costs funded 100% by Stormwater Utility Area 17 Funds.

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

interest on December 21, 2020.
On January 14, 2021, the Airport Division of the Contra Costa County Public Works Department received a
letter of interest from Mark Scott Construction, Inc. to lease and develop the property for aviation use.
In accordance with the Airport Division’s standard, the Airport Division solicited for competitive interest in
developing the parcel prior to making a developer selection. This solicitation of competitive interest was
transmitted to the current commercial tenants of both County airports and to those persons who have asked
to be included on a list of developers interested in developing land at either of the County airports. The
County did not receive any other letters of interest to develop this property.
Consistent with the master developer selection process that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on
May 23, 2006, projects without a competitive interest are to proceed with the traditional environmental
review and lease development processes. The aviation development project will be presented to the
Aviation Advisory Committee, the Airport Committee, and any other stakeholder to enhance community
relations and collaborative relationships.
Negotiation of lease terms would expand economic activity, provide additional revenues to the Airport
Enterprise Fund, and expand aviation-related facilities and services at Buchanan Field Airport. A business
proposal must be consistent with the Airport Master Plan and General Plan for consideration. The proposed
aviation development is consistent with the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan and General Plan.
Unless and until a final lease agreement is fully executed by all parties, this Board Order, any draft lease
agreement, other communications or conduct of the parties shall have absolutely no legal effect, may not be
used to impose any legally binding obligation on the County and may not be used as evidence of any oral or
implied agreement between the parties or as evidence of the terms and conditions of any implied agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in initiating the developer selection process will result in a delay of developing vacant land at
Buchanan Field Airport and may negatively impact the Airport Enterprise Fund and County General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District (Flood Control District), or designee, to execute a contract with Kjeldsen, Sinnock &

local and state grants (33% San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority Measure AA, 14% California
Department of Fish and Wildlife Proposition 1).
BACKGROUND:
The Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project (Project) will improve habitat for a number of rare and

County
Subject:Contract with Kjeldsen, Sinnock & Neudeck, Inc. Project No. 7520-6B8582
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Implementing this wetland restoration project requires specialized professional services that are not
available with in-house staff. To address this need, the Flood Control District issued a Request for
Qualifications and a subsequent Request for Proposals, developed a shortlist of qualified firms, interviewed
the top three, and ultimately selected KSN as the most qualified firm to fill this need.
The tasks to be performed by KSN generally include managing the overall construction contract on behalf
of the Flood Control District, providing inspection and quality assurance field and laboratory testing of the
construction contractor’s work, surveying for rare and endangered species, delineating sensitive habitat
areas, providing biological monitoring of the construction contractor’s work, ensuring contractor’s
compliance with regulatory permit requirements and with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
mitigation measures, and providing post-construction monitoring and reporting to ensure the Project
performs as designed.
The duration of this contract generally matches the duration of the Project’s recently awarded construction
contract, which includes the construction season, plus three years of vegetation monitoring and maintenance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the approval of this contract by the Board of Supervisors, the Flood Control District will be unable
to perform the biological monitoring required by the Project’s regulatory permits and CEQA mitigation
measures, and the Flood Control District will not be able to provide needed professional construction
management services for the Project.

ATTACHMENTS
Resolution
2021/94
In the matter of:Resolution No. 2021/94
Contra Costa County proclaiming the month of April 2021 as Child Abuse Prevention Month
WHEREAS, as a community, we have a responsibility to nurture and protect our children
and help ensure they become healthy and productive adults; and
WHEREAS, child abuse and neglect affect children of all ages, races, and income, and is
100 percent preventable; and
WHEREAS, in Contra Costa County, the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) and
Child Protective Services (CPS), a program of Children & Family Services within the
Employment & Human Services Department, collaborate to continue protecting
children through the COVID-19 health crisis, through preventive services, response,
intervention, and investigation; and
WHEREAS, despite outreach and community efforts, the rising number of reported child
abuse cases remains a great concern and highlights the need for increased protection
and improved services for abused and neglected children; and
WHEREAS, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with more isolation, schools and day care
centers closed, parents and children at home together more, and incomes severely
reduced, tensions in households increase, underscoring the importance of child abuse
prevention services; and
WHEREAS, more than 4 million cases of child abuse per year are reported across the
country, and two of the major risk factors leading to child abuse and neglect are
family isolation and stress; and
WHEREAS, experiencing physical abuse or witnessing violence early in life can become
a cycle, passed down through generations, and children exposed to violence may
consider it acceptable. Therefore, the cycle of violence continues and can lead to
other violent or dangerous actions; and
WHEREAS, children who have experienced abuse are nine times more likely to become
involved in criminal activities; and
WHEREAS, we cannot put a dollar value on the life of a child, however, we can play a
part in ending the tragedy of child abuse by supporting children and families. The
benefits of implementing prevention programs greatly outweigh the substantial
economic costs of maltreatment; and
WHEREAS, these costs accrue over the course of the survivors’ lives, yet the community
will continue to incur the same cost each year until we are able to reduce and
ultimately end child abuse; and
WHEREAS, most experts believe the number of incidents of abuse are far greater than
what is reported and early intervention is critical for preventing abuse and can
positively impact at-risk families, protecting children; and
WHEREAS, in Contra Costa County there are numerous committed agencies, parents,
relatives, community volunteers, public policymakers and professionals who
collaborate to eliminate child abuse and give our children hope, security and safety;
and
WHEREAS, CAPC continues its role as a child abuse prevention service provider to
Contra Costa County during the COVID-19 crisis, and urges community members to
report suspected child abuse to law enforcement, child welfare agencies or other
community hotlines;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors joins in
proclaiming April, 2021, to be “Child Abuse Prevention Month,” and recognizes the efforts made by the
Child Abuse Prevention Council and Children & Family Services of the Employment & Human Services
Department; and acknowledges both agencies for their dedication to preventing child abuse in Contra Costa
County.

Subject:Resolution Condemning Xenophobia and Hate Crimes Against Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Communities
ATTACHMENTS
Resolution
2021/114
In the matter of:Resolution No. 2021/114
Condemning Xenophobia and Hate Crimes Against Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Communities
WHEREAS, on November 10, 2020 the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
declared racism as a public health crisis; and
WHEREAS, racism and scapegoating toward Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI)
has persisted since the 19th century and lead to policies like the Chinese Exclusion
Act of 1882, which prohibited immigration of Chinese laborers. During this time East
Asians were represented as dangerous and threatening to the United States, one of
many discriminating acts against immigrants from different Asian countries; and
WHEREAS, the use of anti-Asian inflammatory rhetoric blaming COVID-19 on the
AAPI community has perpetuated anti-Asian stigma and increased violent hate
crimes; and
WHEREAS, weaponizing this type of rhetoric is inaccurate and stigmatizing which
incites fear and xenophobia, and puts individuals of Asian ancestry at risk of
retaliation in addition to deterrence from accessing resources and services, appearing
in public, and expressing their identity; and
WHEREAS, the belief that AAPIs are a monolithic group and achieve universal success,
also known as the “model minority myth,” perpetuates harmful stereotypes and masks
the disparities within these communities, particularly among Southeast Asian
Americans and Pacific Islanders; and
WHEREAS, the AAPI population is the fastest growing racial group in the United States;
and
WHEREAS, the AAPI ethnic groups have made substantial and valuable cultural,
economic, and civic contributions to the history of the United States, the State of
California, and the County of Contra Costa; and
WHEREAS, over two million AAPIs are on the frontlines of the COVID–19 pandemic,
working in health care, law enforcement, emergency services, food service,
transportation and additional industries; and
WHEREAS, the national self-reporting center, Stop AAPI Hate, has recorded over 2,800
incidents of hate and discrimination in the United States since the pandemic began,
with over 700 occurring in the Bay Area region; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County condemns all acts of hate and discrimination on the
basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, or cultural basis; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County recognizes our AAPI families, friends and colleagues
who face racism, as these widespread hate crimes have a traumatic rippling impact to
the AAPI community as well as the entire region; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County commends local community groups who have led
grassroot efforts such as the civilian-led “foot strolls” in targeted areas like Oakland
Chinatown with over 800 volunteers, to help protect the AAPI community; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County joins other cities, counties, and states across the
country in affirming its commitment to the safety and well-being of citizens,
non-citizens and visitors with ancestry from the Asia Pacific region and in combating
racist acts targeting AAPIs.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Contra Costa County calls upon all counties, cities, and local
governments across the United States to adopt similar commitments to reaffirm their solidarity with AAPI
communities and commit to combating hate by rejecting racist rhetoric and improving safety and health
equity for all residents; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board of Supervisors encourages the
exchange of healthy dialogue and proactive education in a continued effort to value and appreciate our
diversity; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall become effective immediately upon
passage and adoption.

WHEREAS, Bianey’s parents are both immigrants from Mexico who have earned their
US Citizenship. She is a first-generation college student in her family; and
WHEREAS, Bianey does not let her socioeconomic status, or her stutter define her but
instead is motivated by her firm belief in social justice. A compassionate leader, she
is always looking for ways to be of service including being selected by Carondelet to
speak at several Walnut Creek City Council meetings on a number of important
issues, which was even more daunting given her stutter; and
WHEREAS, Bianey has participated for over 3 years in the highly selective UC Berkeley
Haas School of Business Boost Program for low-income, underrepresented youth and
now serves as a mentor to incoming program students; and
WHERAS, Bianey has used her personal experience as the daughter of Mexican
American immigrants by founding and sitting as the first President of Latinas Unidas.
Latinas Unidas helped educate her classmates and faculty about the impact of
immigration laws and challenges they present for people in our community; and
WHEREAS, as a Freshman at Wellesley College, Bianey continues to be a determined
and creative advocate by forging new paths and ideas.

BACKGROUND:
In 2011, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011) which
transferred responsibility for supervising certain lower-level inmates and parolees from the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to counties. Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109) realigned three
major areas of the criminal justice system. On a prospective basis, the legislation: (1) transferred the
location of incarceration for lower-level offenders (specified nonviolent, non-serious, non-sex offenders)
from state prison to local county jail and provides for an expanded role for post-release supervision for

these offenders; (2) transferred responsibility for post-release supervision of lower-level offenders (those
released from prison after having served a sentence for a non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offense)
from the state to the county level by creating a new category of supervision called Post-Release
Community Supervision (PRCS); and (3) transferred the custody responsibility for parole and PRCS
revocations to local jail, administered by county sheriffs.
AB109 also created an Executive Committee of the local Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) and
tasked it with recommending a Realignment Plan (Plan) to the county Board of Supervisors for
implementation of the criminal justice realignment. The membership of the Community Corrections
Partnership is identified in statute as the following:
1. Chief Probation Officer (Chair)
2. Presiding Judge (or designee)
3. County supervisor, CAO, or a designee of the BOS
4. District Attorney
5. Public Defender
6. Sheriff
7. Chief of Police
8. Head of the County department of social services
9. Head of the County department of mental health
10. Head of the County department of employment
11. Head of the County alcohol and substance abuse programs
12. Head of the County Office of Education
13. CBO representative with experience in rehabilitative services for criminal offenders
14. Victims’ representative
Later in 2011, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 117 (Chapter 39, Statutes of 2011), which served as
“clean up” legislation to AB 109. Assembly Bill 117 (AB 117) changed, among other things, the
composition of the local CCP-Executive Committee. The CCP-Executive Committee is currently
identified in statute as the following:
1. Chief Probation Officer (Chair)
2. Presiding Judge (or designee)
3. District Attorney
4. Public Defender
5. Sheriff
6. A Chief of Police
7. The head of either the County department of social services, mental health, or alcohol and drug
services (as designated by the board of supervisors)
Although AB 109 and AB 117 collectively place the majority of initial planning activities for
Realignment on the local CCP, it is important to note that neither piece of legislation cedes powers
vested in a county Board of Supervisors’ oversight of and purview over how AB 109 funding is spent.
Once the Plan is adopted, the Board of Supervisors can choose to implement that Plan in any manner it
may wish.
Today’s recommended actions were approved by the Public Protection Committee (PPC) at the March
22, 2021 meeting. The PPC recommends an appointment term of one-year for all non ex-officio seats
and will continue to make appointment/reappointment recommendations to the Board of Supervisors
annually. This action would renew the appointment of the victims' representative on the Community
Corrections Partnership and the Director of Employment and Human Services Department on the
Community Corrections Partnership - Executive Committee through December 31, 2021. In addition,
one ex-officio seat for a local police chief is being appointed as the selected designee of the Contra
Costa Police Chief's Association (PCA). Approval of this action will affirm that future designees will be
designated by the PCA with no need to return to the Board of Supervisors in event of a vacancy. Finally,
this action also appoints the new County Administrator, Monica Nino, as an ex-officio member of the
CCP. The community based organization representative seat is currently vacant and an appointment
recommendation will be made by Public Protection Committee once public outreach and interviews are
conducted.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Stakeholder representation on the CCP and CCP Executive Committee would be limited. The CCP
would also have difficulty establishing a quorum without all seats being filled.

and to analyze and develop recommendations regarding hazardous materials issues with consideration to
broad public input, and report back to the Board on Board referrals.

County
Subject:Appointments to Hazardous Materials Commission
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The bylaws of the Commission were amended on July 14, 2020 to re-add a third City Seat and Alternate to
the Commission. The bylaws further stipulate that the representatives of cities be appointed by the City
Selection Committee pursuant to Article 11 (§ 50270 et seq.) of Chapter I of Part I of Title 5 of the
Government Code. The Mayor’s Conference has nominated Ken Carlson, City of Pleasant Hill, for City
Seat #3 and Peter Cloven, City of Clayton, for City Seat #3 Alternate. The terms of these seats will expire
on December 31, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The seats will remain unfilled, and this will potentially make it more difficult to achieve a quorum and will
potentially lessen the viewpoint of municipal jurisdictions in Commission deliberations.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPOINT Susan Meltzer to the Member At-Large #18 seat on the Advisory Council on Aging, with a term
expiring September 30, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 to amend governing
requirements and policies for making appointments to advisory bodies to the Board of Supervisors. This
resolution supercedes Resolution No. 2011/497. Section III.A. of Resolution No. 2020/1, Type 2: At
Large/Countywide Appointments, states that when an advisory body conducts interviews, the body’s
recommendation will be provided to a Board Committee for further review, along with all applications
received for the applicable seat. In all cases, the Board Committee decides which applicants to nominate for
full Board action.
The Contra Costa Advisory Council on Aging (ACOA) provides a means for county-wide planning,
cooperation and coordination for individuals and groups interested in improving and developing services
and opportunities for the older residents of this County. The Council provides

County
Subject:2021-22 State Legislation Platform Amendment
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted the 2021-22 State Legislative Platform on January
19, 2021. The Platform was amended by the Board on March 9, 2021.
Recently, County Administrator staff were made aware of a legislative proposal that could be of benefit to
Contra Costa County; however, there is no adopted State Legislative Platform principle that could authorize
legislative advocacy relative to this bill. While the Platform has evolved over time to be more
principle-based than specific policy-based, there are occasions when specific administrative proposals
emerge during the legislative process that could benefit County operations and service delivery. For
example, in the past, the County has supported legislation that authorized the Board of Supervisors to
appoint the same person to the offices of Public Administrator and Public Guardian, as well as legislation
related to special districts. These administrative or budget related proposals do not have a corresponding
principle in the Board's adopted Platform to facilitate nimble advocacy. Therefore, it would be beneficial to
County Board Members, staff and the County's state advocates to have such a principle included for more
expeditious and timely advocacy related efforts.
Staff proposes the following principle be added to the "Finance and Administration" section of the County's
2021-22 State Legislative Platform:
SUPPORT legislation that will facilitate more efficient and effective public service delivery and financial
management under alternative governance and administrative structures supported by the Board of
Supervisors.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25696 to add one (1) Intermediate Clerk- Project (99J3)
(represented) position at Salary Plan and Grade QH5 0946 ($3,458 - $4,203) and cancel one (1) Community
Services Mental Health Clinical Supervisor-Project (CJH3) (unrepresented) (0.50 FTE) position number
12925 at Salary Plan and Grade C85 1541 ($6,052 - $7,356) in the Community Services Bureau,
Employment and Human Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will increase salary and benefit costs by $10,686 annually which will be funded
100% by Federal Head Start revenues. This action will not result in additional net County cost.
BACKGROUND:
Community Services Bureau (CSB) has outsourced its Mental Health Services, thus we are requesting to
cancel the vacant Community Services Mental Health Clinical Supervisor-Project, position #12925 (0.50
FTE), and to add an Intermediate Clerk-Project, full time position, for the Partner Unit. Over the last two
years, directly operated programs have closed or reduced services due to staffing shortages and facility

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
steady increase in Early Head Start, Head Start, and State Funded slots. Due to this increase, services
require heavy clerical data entry. Intermediate Clerks in the Partner Unit carry out tasks to meet Head
Start Program Performance Standard, including a range of services as outlined in HSPPS 1302.20; these
services include facilitating medical and dental services and follow up, nutritional assessments and
follow up, mental health services and follow up, resource and referral, family development activities and
training, and family meetings. In addition, this clerical position is critical to processing attendance from
partners to ensure they are paid on time, hence the urgency to hire to cover all the required clerical
duties and entries regarding the provision of health, oral health, nutrition, mental health, disabilities and
family and community partnership services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these personnel actions are not approved, the Partner Unit will be stretched to the limit and children
and families will not get the services and resources they need to achieve positive outcomes in their lives.
Compliance with the many federal regulations will be jeopardized, putting the agency at risk of losing
funding. In addition, partner agencies will not have the support of a comprehensive services clerk, which
is CSB’s commitment in our contracts with our childcare partners.

No. 21.023
BACKGROUND:
On December 27, 2020, the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, a $900 billion COVID-19
relief bill, was signed into law and $25 billion was allocated to the U.S.Treasury for the Emergency Rental
Assistance Program (ERAP) to assist households that are unable to pay rent or utilities due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. California is slated to receive a total of $2.6 billion of the Federal ERAP funds. Of
this portion, certain cities and counties within the State with populations over 200,000 were able to apply
for a direct allocation of ERAP funds from the U.S. Treasury. Contra Costa County made application for its
share of these funds on January 6, 2021 and received $34,296,331 million on January 20, 2021.
For the remainder of funds not allocated to cities and counties with populations over 200,000, the State
Legislature developed a programmatic framework that eases administrative burden and most efficiently
deploys these resources to those most in need statewide. On January 28, 2021 the State Senate and State

Subject:CONTRACT WITH RICHMOND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR ADMINISTRATION OF A LOCAL
EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM CAMPAIGN
Assembly passed the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act (SB 91), which extends eviction protections through
June 30, 2021 and creates a mechanism to deploy the state allocation of Federal ERAP funds to assist
struggling tenants and landlords impacted by COVID-19. The State framework developed under SB 91 also
builds upon the Federal eligibility requirements by further prioritizing the distribution of funds to certain
impacted populations. A summary of major Federal and State eligibility requirements are outlined below:
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Federal Eligibility Requirements :
* Funds must be used to support eligible households up to 80% Area Medium Income (AMI), with a
priority for those up to 50% AMI with funding focused to ensure rental arrears are addressed to stabilize
households and prevent evictions.
* 90% of funds must be used to provide financial assistance, including back and forward rent and utility
payments and other housing expenses.
* Payments should be made directly to landlords or utility companies on behalf of renters; if a landlord
refuses to accept the rental assistance the assistance may be provided directly to the tenant.
* The US Treasury is required to recapture excess funds not obligated by September 30, 2021 and will
re-obligate them to jurisdictions that have meet obligation targets.
* Programs must be established to avoid duplication of federal rental assistance benefits to households.
State Eligibility Requirements (over and above Federal Requirements):
* The rental assistance program will provide eligible landlords with immediate relief through the
payment of 80 % of their tenants’ rental arrears accumulated since April 1, 2020 through March 31,
2021. Landlords, in turn, agree to accept this payment as payment in full of any unpaid rent for that
period.
* In cases where a landlord chooses not to participate, an eligible tenant may apply to the program on
behalf of their landlord for 25% of their arrears that they must then use to pay the landlord. The program
also allows for prospective payments of 25% of monthly rent.
* Funds not expended by August 1, 2021 will be recaptured and reallocated within the
State to ensure no state funds are returned to the U.S. Treasury.
The combination of proscribed Federal and State eligibility criteria leaves little discretion to Boards of
Supervisors or City Councils to tailor ERAP funded rental assistance programs to specific, local needs.
In fact, the State is conditioning receipt of state block grant allocations to eligible cities and counties on
adoption of the State's Rental Assistance Program (the "Conforming Program"), which follows the
Federal and State eligibility criteria highlighted above. Local jurisdictions can further prioritize within
the Federal and State criteria above but must implement at least the Federal and State criteria. By way of
example, the following are areas that can be further prioritized in a local implementation scenario:
* Prioritization by deeper income targeting (i.e. 30% AMI and below);
* Prioritization by rent-burden;
* Prioritization by qualified census tracts;
* Prioritization by property size (i.e. small landlords vs. large landlords);
* Other related factors that the State deems to be consistent with prioritizing populations with
demonstrated need;
State Options for Eligible Cities and Counties:
Following the passage of SB 91, the State developed three implementation options for eligible cities and
counties to benefit from additional ERAP block grant funding from the State.
Option A : Participate in the State's Conforming Program and direct its federal allocation
through the State Program . In this scenario, the County provides the State with the County's Federal
direct ERAP allocation and the State, along with its contractor network, runs the State Conforming
ERAP program on behalf of the County;
Option B: Conform to the State's Conforming Program, self-administer its federal
allocation and receive a block grant allocation (based on population size) from the
State's Conforming Program. In this scenario, the County received additional ERAP funds as a
block grant from the State and runs the State Conforming Program on behalf of the State. The County
must spend its State ERAP block grant amount ($36 million) by August 1, 2021, or it will be recaptured
by the State and reallocated to another County; or
Option C: Choose not to conform to the State's Conforming Program rules,
self-administer its federal allocation, acknowledge that the state will serve its population
via the State's Conforming Program, and accepts responsibility for duplication of
benefits checks between the two programs. Under this scenario, the State runs the State
Conforming Program within the County and the County runs a second, locally developed program
within the County.
Current CDBG Funded Rental Assistance Program Separate
It is important to note that the ERAP funding and implementation options outlined above are separate
and aside from the CDBG funded Rental Assistance Program discussed by the Board on November 17,
2020. At that time, the Board provided direction and authorization to staff to significantly expand the
existing CDBG-funded rental assistance program utilizing $3,200,000 of CDBG-CV3 funds.
Since the ERAP program has a deadline to spend funds by September 2021, the CDBG Rental
Assistance program will be placed on hold to prioritize the use of ERAP funding first. CDBG funding
can be used after September 2021, so there is no risk in losing those funds in the interim.
County Selection of Option A and Statewide Program Launch
On February 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors selected Option A pursuant to SB 91, allowing the State
to implement the program on behalf of the County. The County was one of several large counties (i.e.
those with populations over 200,000), including Butte, Los Angeles, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, San Luis
Obispo, Tulare, Ventura and Yolo that opted into Option A along with all small counties (i.e. those with
populations under 200,000). Subsequently, the County Administrator filed an Expression of Interest
Form with the California Department of Housing and Community Development and, ultimately,
executed an agreement with the State to operate the program on March 18, 2021. Authority was granted
to the County Administrator to take these actions on March 2, 2021 as part of Resolution No. 2021/78.
On March 15, 2021, the Statewide rental assistance program opened to the public, including a website
(housingiskey.com) and toll-free hotline (1-833-430-2122). The website includes both an English and
Spanish version and the hotline is able to initially accommodate the following languages: English,
Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Tagalog. The State has contracted with the
Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) to assist with outreach for the program. The State's
partnership with LISC includes contracts with "Local Partner Network Organizations", primarily local
community-based organizations, to provide assistance to residents seeking rental and utility payment
relief. In Contra Costa County, residents can dial 1-833-687-0967 to make an appointment with a Local
Partner Network Organization, or reach out directly to the following:
1. Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond - (510) 215-2515
2. Northern California Land Trust - (510) 548-7878
3. Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. dba Neighborhood Housing Services of the East Bay
- (510) 334-7750
4. SHELTER, Inc. - (925) 349-0571
The County has weekly progress meetings with the State to ensure that the County's interests are being
represented and share information about the program's progress.
Local Funding for Additional Program Outreach
As part of the selection of Option A, the County is able to retain 1.5% of it's Federal allocation, or
approximately $514,445, for use locally in a manner consistent with the Federal program guidance
governing the ERAP program. The Board directed the County Administrator's Office and the
Department of Conservation and Development to work with the Raise the Roof Coalition to develop a
local program that would complement the Statewide program locally. In the same discussion, County
staff and the Raise the Roof Coalition were encouraged to draw from the work of the Census 2020
project, which benefitted from collaboration between government and community-based organizations.
County staff and Raise the Roof held weekly meetings to work towards development of a local program
and share information regarding the roll out of the statewide program. Ultimately, County staff and
Raise the Roof came to a consensus on a program to propose to the Board to serve our residents, with a
focus on complementing, not duplicating, Statewide efforts. Below is a summary of the proposed
program that was jointly recommended to and approved by the Board on March 23, 2021 for allocation
of $514,000. A a more comprehensive version is attached for further reference:
$313,320 - Community Outreach & Engagement
$75,000 - Local Housing Stability Services
$50,000 - 211 for Rental Assistance Navigation
$20,000 - Emergent Needs
$55,680 - Fiscal/Administrative Fee Allowance
$514,000 Total
Under the approved framework, the County, similar to Census 2020 contracts, will advance one-half of
the contract amount conditional on progress reporting. This preserves a balance of providing adequate
cash flow for program operations with proper contract oversight and reporting.
Selection of Lead Agency & Contract Approval
As part of the Board's approval of the program outline above, it was decided that the lead agency
self-identified by the Raise the Roof Coalition, the Richmond Community Foundation (RCF) will serve
in that capacity to administer the program on behalf of the County. Today's action is requesting that the
Board of Supervisors formally approve the contract with the Richmond Community Foundation and
authorizes the County Administrator to execute the contract once fully negotiated.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not have allocated $464,000 towards local ERAP programming to the Richmond
Community Foundation as directed on March 23, 2021.

Emergency Rental Assistance Program, Local Program Proposal. March 2021
Rev. 3/18/21
ERAP Comprehensive Implementation Grants in Contra Costa County
Overview of recommended approach
Through the new Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), approximately $70
million in federal funds have been allocated to Contra Costa County to provide emergency
rental assistance to help keep local residents housed during the pandemic. The funds must
be spent or encumbered by August 31, 2021, so it is imperative that a well-designed
outreach and distribution program be launched as quickly as possible.
Under SB 91, the state gave counties three options on how to distribute the ERAP funds.
Contra Costa chose Option A, in which the County’s allocation of rental assistance funds
were entrusted to the state to administer through the statewide application portal and
hotline. The state, in turn, has contracted with LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corp.) to
establish a Local Partner Network (LPN). The LPN is composed of community-based
organizations (CBOs) that commit to one of three successively involved levels of effort and
engagement: Tier 1 (promotion), Tier 2 (promotion and outreach), and Tier 3 (promotion,
outreach, and technical assistance to help applicants navigate the state application
process).
Under the ERAP structure, 1.5% of each jurisdiction’s ERAP funds ($514,000 in Contra
Costa) remain under the County’s control, to be used for local implementation activities that
supplement the LPN by ensuring that the county’s most vulnerable residents -- those who
are most marginalized, least connected to County services,and most at risk of eviction and
possible homelessness -- are contacted and supported by local, trusted community
organizations.
The following recommendations for local outreach and implementation are designed to
accomplish those tasks, utilizing $464,000 of the total allocation of $514,000. To date, most
of the CBOs participating in the LPN have been contracted to conduct Tier 1 and Tier 2
activities -- i.e., outreach and navigation assistance.However, few of the CBOs selected by
LISC (of those identified to date) are based in Contra Costa County; rather, most are
regional or statewide in scope. An additional consideration is that the local outreach
grantmaking program described in this proposal will likely be able to get funds out the door
more quickly than LISC can, thus reaching residents sooner who are in dire need of
information and support.
Therefore, we recommend that the County invest its local funds (via RCF Connects, as
fiscal agent/grants manager) for ERAP implementation in more locally-based CBOs that
can leverage their deep and trusted ties to reach the communities most impacted by
COVID-related housing insecurity. The program is designed to help local CBOs conduct
outreach and marketing that is granular and specific to geography, language, and
demographics -- with a focus on advancing equity in communities that are socially,
economically, and linguistically marginalized.
Rev. 3/18/21
This cohort of outreach organizations will be tasked with connecting community members to
LPN Tier 3 organizations, which can then assist with navigating the ERAP portal. It is
important that County- and LISC-funded CBOs are able to communicate with one another
around real-time program gaps and solutions. For that reason, we recommend that LPN
members also attend the countywide convenings described below.
At the same time, it is important that the CBOs focusing on this highly localized outreach
can coordinate and problem-solve with one another at the sub-county level (e.g., to meet
needs that are specific to East, Central/South, and West County, respectively).
Alongside and as a complement to this specialized and localized outreach, a new Housing
Stability Service is needed to integrate the growing number of local programs to assist
renters. This need will not be addressed by the LISC-run hotlines. Indeed, in selecting
Option A, Contra Costa County decided to forego local control over designing assistance for
renters and landlords. Hence, a portion of the County-retained funds for implementation
should be allocated to local measures that are targeted to fill in the gaps created by
participating in the statewide ERAP. Along these lines,the County should also retain a small
amount to pay for supplementary marketing activities or other emergent activities, as
needed.
Recommended expenditure plan
1.COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT: $313,320
A.$50,000: Project management/facilitate partner convenings
B.$263,320: Grants to CBOs to outreach to and engage with residents who
can benefit from ERAP
2.HOUSING STABILITY SERVICE: $75,000
3.EMERGENT NEEDS: $20,000 (will be used as needed to supplement the state’s
marketing program, or for other emergent needs identified during implementation)
4.FISCAL/ADMIN FEE: $55,680 (RCF Connects’ 12% standard fee)
Program design
1.COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
a.We propose that the County contracts with RCF Connects,which has
affirmed their interest and capacity to take on the role of fiscal agent and
grants coordinator for the ERAP project. The scope of work includes:
i.Convening an ERAP Oversight Team,potentially comprising the
current group of county leaders (DCD, CAO and EHSD),and CBOs
(EBASE, EBHO, Monument Impact, Ensuring Opportunity)to monitor
overall progress and confer as needed on data collection and other
key project deliverables.
Rev. 3/18/21
ii.Issue an RFP and select trusted CBOs and faith communities to
perform location-specific, language-specific, and/or
demographic-specific ERAP outreach (in partnership with, and
complementary to, LISC’s LPN) in one or more regions of the county.
The County’s recent successful Census outreach mini-grants program
will be used as a model, in that the grants application process was
simple, decisions were made quickly, and funds were allocated to
CBOs both large and small, and to a mix of long-time contractors in
some instances and those new to contracting with the county in other
cases, in order to deepen and broaden the demographic,geographic,
and cultural reach into the communities identified as most at risk.
The RFP will be sent to a wide network of CBOs, including those
recently involved in Census outreach, voter engagement,and vaccine
administration, as these organizations have extensive experience
working within the communities identified by the Urban Institute as
being most vulnerable to COVID-caused housing insecurity.1 Most
grants are anticipated to range from $2,000 to $30,000 in size.
While residents facing eviction risk and housing insecurity live in every
region of the county, some communities have been more deeply
impacted than others, and the distribution of grant funds will be
designed to address that inequitable impact. Data sources including
Bay Area Equity Atlas and the Urban Institute report are among the
objective sources that will be used to determine the best allocation of
funding across regions of the county. Additional consideration will be
given to areas of the county, particularly near-East and far-East
county, that are in the process of strengthening their nonprofit
infrastructure and may need additional support. Lastly,consideration
will be given to geographic gaps in LISC’s Local Partner Network
coverage in Contra Costa (e.g., few East County organizations have
applied to date).
As noted below, in addition to the direct outreach grants, funds will be
allocated to an identified CBO in each region of the county (East,
Central/South, and West) to provide local coordinating support in their
sub-region, such as supporting RCF in convening and surveying
sub-regional grantees to identify region-specific needs and gaps.
iii.Regularly convene countywide and sub-regional Coordinating
Council of grantees, LISC LPN members, and other stakeholders
(including County departments such as EHSD) to plan and align
1
https://www.urban.org/features/where-prioritize-emergency-rental-assistance-keep-renters-their-ho
mes
Rev. 3/18/21
outreach strategies, share data, and discuss ways to troubleshoot,
adapt, and expand approaches to implementation. The Coordinating
Council will provide a forum for grantees to identify and relay relevant
feedback and needs to the county, state, and LISC;share ideas and
outcomes regarding outreach and navigation strategies; and collect
and share data on project activities and outcomes with their peer
organizations. Three organizations with deep community networks and
extensive experience in convening nonprofit collaboratives have been
identified to convene/coordinate grantees and other stakeholders in
each region of the county, to address needs and trends that are
specific to each region. Committed partners in each region include:
●West County:RYSE Center (which convenes the 200+
member West County COVID Community Care
Coalition)
●Central/South County (which includes
Concord/Pleasant Hill/Martinez, Lamorinda, and
Danville/San Ramon):Family Justice Center (which
convenes the 200+ member Central/East County
COVID Community Care Coalition)
●East County (which includes Bay Point and all
communities east):East Contra Costa Community
Care Alliance (ECCCA),which has a diverse mix of
CBO members and is fiscally sponsored by RCF
Connects.
iv.Coordinate with the 211 information and referral system,operated
by the Contra Costa Crisis Center. 211 will also be a key partner in
sharing data with the Coordinating Council about housing-related
needs and services, toward the shared goal of developing a
coordinated, countywide housing stability ecosystem and referral
network.
v.Create and administer a grant reporting process.
vi.Collect, prepare and report data and program outcomes to the
County for submission to the State.
b.The goal of this Outreach approach is to augment,rather than duplicate, the
work of LISC’s designated LPN partners, by contracting with smaller local
organizations that have deep local roots and trusted ties to specific
demographic, cultural, and linguistic communities that are disproportionately
impacted by COVID. These are communities that LISC LPN partners may
Rev. 3/18/21
either lack experience in serving, or need assistance in connecting with the
large numbers of under-served residents who need specialized support.
The Outreach CBOs that receive subgrants from RCF through the RFP
process will be responsible for delivering one or more of the following
activities. (Note: Grantee responsibilities may evolve during implementation,
as the cohort develops best practices through peer-to-peer learning.)
i.Send regular eblasts to contacts/clients for the duration of the ERAP.
ii.Make regular social media posts for the duration of the ERAP.
iii.Make announcements at all community convenings during the course
of the ERAP.
iv.Conduct phone-banking, door-knocking, and/or flyering,as needed or
appropriate, based on access needs of the target community.
v.Refer applicants in need of navigation assistance to LPN Tier 3
organizations; provide additional navigation services if LPN groups are
unable to meet an applicant’s specific needs.
vi.Refer contacts to the new Contra Costa Housing Stability Service
(described below) as needed, to connect residents to additional
information and services, such as assistance in paying utility bills,
finding new housing, or referral to a housing counselor or legal service
provider.
vii.Conduct activities in a location-specific, language-specific,and/or
demographic-specific manner, per each grantee’s contract.
viii.Provide data on program activities and outcomes.
ix.Participate in regular countywide and sub-regional (East, Central, or
West County) convenings to share insights and problem-solve over
the duration of the ERAP.
2.LOCAL HOUSING STABILITY SERVICE
a.RCF will issue an RFP for up to $75,000 to contract with a CBO to establish
and operate a countywide Housing Stability Service.
b.The Housing Stability Service will be accessible by phone and through a web
portal, and will be staffed during business hours by a housing counselor,
paralegal, or person with other relevant housing and customer service
expertise. As both an integral part of, and an important complement to, the
Rev. 3/18/21
rental assistance outreach network described above, the Housing Stability
Service will help residents prioritize their housing needs, understand their
rights as tenants, and access and navigate a complex array of
housing-related services during a critical period of risk for tens of thousands
of tenants. The Housing Stability Service is envisioned as being
complementary to the county’s 211 service. Whereas 211 covers a wide
range of needs and provides referral contact information for a resident to
follow up on, the Housing Stability Service will offer a deep knowledge of
housing services and supports across a range of systems and organizations,
and will provide a “warm hand-off” in connecting residents personally and
directly with the services and agencies best-positioned to address their
needs. In addition to making these personalized referrals,Housing Stability
Service staff will also, when needed, offer brief consults and templates to
guide residents in taking appropriate steps to stay housed. In this way,
residents with more complex needs will receive services,including and also
beyond the state’s ERAP, to help them stay housed.This approach provides
a proactive way to stabilize renters going into the long economic recovery
period to come, thus accomplishing the core goals of the federal program and
of SB 91 by preventing a wave of homelessness and the attendant human
suffering and increased county costs. It also conforms to the guidance
provided by the US Treasury Department in FAQ 23,which affirmed that Fair
Housing counseling, legal services, and case management related to housing
stability, are authorized uses of ERAP funds.
c.The Housing Stability Service will help maximize and integrate the county’s
existing investment in tenant supports, including the moratorium on
certain evictions and rent increases and the tenant and landlord counseling
offered through ECHO Housing, Bay Area Legal Aid,Centro Legal, and
Contra Costa Senior Legal Services.
d.The Housing Stability Service will feed into, rather than compete with, the
State-run ERAP hotlines, which are narrowly focused on ERAP applications
for tenants and landlords. It will also complement Bay Area Legal Aid’s and
Centro Legal’s existing legal services hotlines. The latter two hotlines cover
all legal issues and geographies within the scope of these organizations and,
as such, are generally overwhelmed and not tailored to tenant issues in
Contra Costa.
e.The Housing Stability Service will serve as a point of connection to more
dedicated services for seniors, residents of subsidized housing,
undocumented residents, and others at high risk of losing their housing. It will
greatly reduce the existing burden on vulnerable tenants,who until now have
Rev. 3/18/21
had to navigate this complex landscape on their own.
3.RESPONSE TO EMERGENT NEEDS
a.RCF Connects will reserve $20,000 to address emergent community needs in
a fast-changing environment. For example, funds may be necessary to
supplement and localize the statewide marketing efforts that were launched
this week.
4.FISCAL/ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
a.RCF will retain $61,680 -- its standard 12% fee --to offset the costs of serving
as the fiscal agent and grants administrator for the comprehensive
implementation program.

Subject:Amendments to Disclosure Counsel and Bond/Tax Counsel Contracts related to 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds
Schiff Hardin LLC has provided excellent disclosure services to the County in the issuance and sale of
periodic lease revenue and pension obligation bonds. The staff assigned is extremely familiar with the
County and are able to prepare the required legal and other documents related to these issues with a quick
turnaround time. The firm is also familiar with the County’s outstanding bond portfolio and have proven to
be an invaluable resource to staff responsible for the ongoing management of the County’s debt.
On June 21, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved a three-year contract with Schiff Hardin LLC with a
term expiration of June 30, 2019. On June 18, 2019 the Board approved an extension of the contract with
Schiff Hardin LLC through June 30, 2021.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Bond and Tax Counsel Contract
On April 4, 2016, the County issued a RFP for tax, bond and disclosure counsel services. After review by
the DAAC and firm interviews, Nixon Peabody, LLP was recommended to the County Administrator for
consideration of a contract award to provide bond and tax counsel services to the County for the period July
1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.
The County successfully conducted two bond transactions during the contract time period to fund new
capital projects and refund existing debt at lower interest rates. In addition to assistance with bonds, the
services provided by Nixon Peabody LLP on an ad hoc basis include preparation of presentations for rating
agencies and other bond-related projects in support of County business. It is important to retain a firm with
these particular skills to ensure that the County is able to take advantage of potential refunding
opportunities as they arise and stay updated on both market trends and other public finance related legal
issues.
On June 21, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved a three-year contract with Nixon Peabody LLP with a
term expiration of June 30, 2019. On June 18, 2019 the Board approved an extension to the contract with
Nixon Peabody LLP through June 30, 2021. The contractor has been meeting the expectations of the
County in performing services under the contract.
2021 Lease Revenue Bonds
For this issuance, the County commenced work to refund its 2010 lease revenue bonds (Build America and
Recovery Zone Economic Development bonds) in mid-2019 in anticipation of an approaching 2020 call
option date. That process was substantially underway when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the County
Administrator's Office to focus on emergency response activities. Once the County was in a place to
reengage with the bond team a decision was made to consolidated two separate issuances, the County
issuance and a separate Contra Costa County Fire Protection District issuance to save the Fire District cost
of issuance fees and interest costs due to the County's outstanding credit ratings.
Given the unique circumstances, the County Administrator's Office consulted with members of the DAAC,
including the Auditor-Controller, Treasurer Tax Collector and County Finance Director to consider requests
from various bond consultants to provide additional compensation for the work completed, some of which
had to be re-done due to putting the transaction on hold during the initial response to COVID-19. The
DAAC members acknowledged this is one example of the non-medical impacts of COVID-19 and thought
it appropriate to recommend to the County Administrator an equitable sharing of cost impacts. After
negotiating with Schiff Hardin LLP, the proposal is to increase the transaction fee by an additional $32,500
due to work on the County's Preliminary Official Statement (POS) having to be reworked due to the
transaction being put on hold. In addition, negotiations with Nixon Peabody resulted in a proposed increase
of $15,000 to the transaction fee related to the inclusion of the Fire District's borrowing into the 2021 lease
revenue bonds.
Today's action is necessary because the existing contracts with both firms above does not allow for
discretion of County staff to increase the pre-negotiated fees for the services outlined above. Due to the
unique circumstances surrounding the timing of this transaction, including the interruptions caused by
COVID-19, staff believes the additional compensation is fair and equitable to all parties for the services
rendered and supports the recommendation of DAAC members.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The contract amendments would not be approved and the only authority to compensate Disclosure and
Bond/Tax Counsel will come from the existing, pre-negotiated contract rates.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
RATIFY the execution of license agreement with MERCED BAR, LLC, for the use of a portion of the
parking lot of the property located at 2500 Bates Avenue in Concord for the purpose of a drive-thru
COVID-19 testing site for the public, beginning March 15, 2021, at a rate of $10 per month.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is funded by 100% Federal and State emergency funds.
BACKGROUND:
The County has leased the a portion of the property at 2500 Bates Avenue on behalf of the Health Services
Departments since February 28, 2017, under which the County is leasing from Licensor approximately
37,209 square feet of floor space along with 263 parking spaces in the adjacent parking area. County has
will be using another portion of the parking lot at the property and the adjacent parcel of land owned by
Licensor for purposes of drive-thru COVID-19 testing.

County
Subject:RATIFY the execution of a license agreement at 2500 Bates Avenue, Concord, executed by the County Administrator
in response to COVID-19.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County’s Health Officer has determined that accessible, timely testing and vaccination is critical to
reduce transmission of the virus and to protect the community.
The County has activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and several Department Operations
Centers (DOC) to assist in the response to the pandemic. Those operations centers are the hub for
procurement and distribution of services and equipment necessary to respond to the emergency. In
support of this, the County Administrator, in his capacity of Administrator of Emergency Services
(County Code Section 42-2.602) issued an emergency blanket purchase order in the amount of $20
million on Friday, March 20, 2020 for the procurement of services and supplies necessary to facilitate
the COVID-19 response within the County. The Board of Supervisors subsequently ratified the County
Administrator's action on March 31, 2020. Similarly, the County Administrator has entered into several
agreements, including service contracts, license agreements and leases to support the activities
responding to COVID-19. The first set of such contracts was ratified by the Board on April 14, 2020
(Agenda Item No. C.22). The second set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 28, 2020.
The third set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 12, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.60). The
fourth set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 2, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.28). The fifth
set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 11, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.49). The sixth
set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 8, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C108).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not ratifying the emergency actions taken in response to the COVID-19 emergency to continue with this
drive-thru testing site in Concord would result in the drive-thru site being discontinued.

Bates Avenue License Agreement
1
LICENSE AGREEMENT
2500 Bates Avenue, Concord
THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of March 15, 2021 (the
“Effective Date”), and is between MERCED BAR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Licensor”), and the COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, a political subdivision of the State of
California (“County”).
RECITALS
A. Licensor and County are parties to a lease dated April 16, 2013, as amended by a
first amendment dated February 28, 2017, and a second amendment dated November 3, 2020
(the “Second Amendment”), (the “Lease”), under which the County is leasing from Licensor
approximately 37,209 square feet of floor space in a building located at 2500 Bates Avenue,
Concord, California (the “Property”) along with 263 parking spaces in the adjacent parking
area.
B. County would like to temporarily use portions of the parking lot at the Property
and the adjacent parcel of land owned by Licensor (identified as “Parcel 1” on Exhibit A to the
Second Amendment) for purposes other than parking, in the locations shown on Exhibit A and as
set forth in Section 4 below (the “Licensed Uses”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall
be construed to include “Parcel 1” in the Lease and the County shall acquire no leasehold interest
in “Parcel 1” by virtue of the execution of this Agreement by the parties.
C. Exhibit A to the Second Amendment shows the Property as having been
bifurcated into “Parcel 1,” and “Parcel 2.” Licensor is contemplating the sale of both Parcel 1
and Parcel 2. A sale of either parcel could result in the termination of this Agreement and the
curtailment of the Licensed Uses.
The parties therefore agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Grant of License; Term.
(a) Licensor hereby grants to County a revocable license for the Licensed Uses. In
addition to the parking stalls and porch area outlined on Exhibit A.
(b) County hereby accepts the Property for the Licensed Uses on an “as is” basis and
in the condition it is in on the date of this Agreement and Licensor is hereby
expressly relieved and released from any duty or obligation to make any
improvements or alterations to the Property. County hereby further acknowledges
that Licensor has made no representation or warranty whatsoever as to the
condition or suitability of the Property for the Licensed Uses.
(c) The term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and ends on the date that
is one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter (the “Initial Term”); provided,
however, if neither party terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section
1(e) below, this Agreement will automatically renew on a month to month basis.
(d) Licensor has the right to terminate this Agreement immediately at any time upon
any default hereunder by County (in addition to any other remedies Licensor may
have at law and/or equity).
(e) Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days’
prior written notice to the other party. If this Agreement renews on a month to
month basis after the Initial Term, either party may terminate this Agreement
upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.
2. Waiver of Liability and Indemnification.
County agrees to use reasonable care to prevent damage to property and injury to persons

BACKGROUND:
On December 18, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Board Resolution No. 2007/172, which
authorized the transfer of ownership of retired police canine (K-9) service dogs to their respective handlers
for minimal ($1.00) consideration. Police dogs typically reach the end of their useful service lives around
the age of 8 years. Although the approximate costs of purchasing a police dog ($11,000) and training it
($8,000) are substantial, the service received from these dogs is well worth the expenditure. However, upon
their retirement from service, the dogs cease being a financial “asset” and instead become a continuous
expense. By transferring ownership of the dog to its handler, all ongoing expenses are absorbed by the
handler in exchange for his/her dog’s companionship in the sunset years of the dog’s life.

organization. With the advent of COVID-19 and more of our workforce being remote, the District needed
to look at innovative ways to advanced our technology in order to support our workforce and improve
communication. The District was provided the opportunity to utilize Google Workspace. With Google
Workspace, the District started by creating a simple, secure web site that employees could access on-duty
and off-duty from any device. The site featured improved workflow for employees, a central repository for
internal news, and a central document repository (Google Drive) that supports real-time collaboration.
Since utilizing the service, the District has seen tremendous benefits versus the legacy Exchange Server,
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and local file server. Additionally, this service will provide email and
calendar service to replace the District's aging Exchange server. Lastly, by moving these services off
premise to the cloud will improve business continuity in the event of local network challenges or by other
cyber threats plaguing public agencies, including Ransomware. The District continues to find innovative
ways to use the Google Workspace to improve innovation, communication, and collaboration. Google
Workspace is utilized by over 6 million businesses worldwide and many government agencies including the
City of Los Angeles, City of Memphis, City of San Bruno, and the State of Arizona.
The Google terms and conditions governing the District’s use of the Google hosted Workspace products
and services include the following: (1) a limitation of Google’s liability in delivering the services to an
amount not in excess of the amounts paid during the 12 months preceding the claim, which applies to a
breach of hosted data; (2) the District is not entitled to a refund of fees in the even it terminates the
agreement prior to the expiration of the three year term, (3) an obligation for the District to indemnify
Google for claims arising from District's data in the hosted system, and District's breach of the Google
acceptable use policy.

Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, to execute a contract with Accenture in an amount not to
exceed $4,200,000 to implement Workday.
BACKGROUND:
At its January 19, 2021 meeting, the Board approved a contract with Workday, Inc. for a hosted financial
management system to replace the County’s legacy system. The County is now requesting approval for a
contract with Accenture, LLP who will provide consulting services to implement the Workday financial
management system software. The Public Works Purchasing Division issued a Request for Proposal (RFP)
on November 13, 2020 to solicit bids from qualified vendors who could provide the implementation
services. The bid yielded two (2) qualified vendors. An evaluation committee comprised of representatives
from the Auditor-Controller’s Office, the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office and the Department of
Information Technology was convened to evaluate both proposals. At the conclusion of the interviews, the
panel determined that Accenture, LLP was the vendor that most closely matched the County’s requirements
and best met the needs of the organization. Accenture has a proven track record and has implemented
Workday in over 40 public sector agencies throughout the United States and most recently implemented the
Workday financial management system in Placer County, San Mateo County, Alameda County Superior
Courts of California, and for the City and County of Denver, Colorado. Accenture also comes highly
recommended by Workday, and the County’s contracted project manager has experience working with
Workday as a system implementer.
The proposed contract with Accenture obligates the County to indemnify Accenture for third party claims
arising out of the County’s performance of the contract that are caused by the County’s negligence or
willful misconduct. The proposed contract limits Accenture’s liability to an amount equal to the amount
paid to Accenture in the 15 months preceding any claim (approximately $4,157,077), except for claims
involving a data breach, which would be capped at 1.5 times the amount paid to Accenture in the 15 months
preceding a data breach claim.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved, the Workday implementation will be delayed and potentially result in
increased costs related to the project.

of dry runs has since changed and providers are now required to report dry runs in GEMT cost reports.
Reporting of dry runs increases the overall number of qualifying "transports," thus lowering the
provider's average cost per transport. A lower cost per transport results in a lower supplemental payment
to the provider.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the payment is not made, the District will not be eligible to participate in Medi-Cal supplement
payment programs in the future.

devices and equipment for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period from
January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
CCRMC rents hospital beds, infusion pumps, and other medical equipment and devices from this vendor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase order is not approved, then the CCRMC will not have enough beds and other equipment to

purchase them outright from a different vendor that is not part of Vizient.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve the Del Hombre Apartments Density Bonus and Inclusionary Housing Developer Agreement and
authorize the Director of Conservation and Development to execute the Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact. The applicant is responsible for payment of all fees associated with this
development including annual monitoring and review costs.
BACKGROUND:
Del Hombre Apartments is a development of 284 residential units in unincorporated Walnut Creek that was
approved by the County in 2020. The developer, Hanover Company, sought and was granted a density
bonus for the project. It also fell within the scope of the County's inclusionary housing ordinance. The
attached Developer Agreement is the implementation tool for those two components of the project. It covers
the ongoing obligations of Hanover and the County over the 55-year time period, under which 36 units will
be provided as affordable housing to low and moderate income households. There is no change in the
project as approved; this is simply the detailed version of the density bonus and inclusionary housing
requirements that were included in the project's Conditions of Approval.

__________________________________________________________________________
DENSITY BONUS AND INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
DEVELOPER AGREEMENT
(Del Hombre Apartments, Walnut Creek)
This Density Bonus and Inclusionary Housing Developer Agreement ("Agreement") is
dated _______________, 2021, and is between the COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, a political
subdivision of the State of California (the "County"), and Del Hombre Walnut Creek Holdings
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Developer").
RECITALS
A. Developer owns that certain real property located in an unincorporated area of
Contra Costa County on Del Hombre Lane between Roble Road and Honey Trail in Walnut
Creek that comprises 2.4 acres, includes Assessor Parcel Numbers 148-170-041, 148-170-037,
148-170-001, 148-170-022, 148-170-042, and is more particularly described in Exhibit A (the
“Property”). Developer desires to construct a residential project on the Property.
B. The residential development contemplated by Developer is commonly known as
the Del Hombre Apartments (the “Development”) and has been designated as County Files
#GP18- 0002, #RZ18-3245, #MS18-0010, and #DP18-3031. The Development includes the
construction of 284 housing units on the Property, including 21 studio units, 174 one-bedroom
units, and 89 two-bedroom units, all located in one building. In addition, the Development will
include off-street parking, landscaping, a community building, laundry, a pool, long-term bicycle
storage, and trash enclosures.
C. The Development is subject to the on-site affordable inclusionary unit
requirements of Chapter 822-4 of the County’s Ordinance Code (the “Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance”) because the Development is a residential development of more than 125 units. The
Development is also subject to Chapter 822-2 of the County’s Ordinance Code (the “Density
Bonus Ordinance”) because the County’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance permit the
construction of a maximum of 237 housing units on the Property, and the Developer has
requested that the Development be permitted to exceed the maximum allowable density.
2
D. Pursuant to Government Code section 65915, the Density Bonus Ordinance, and
Housing Program #22 of the County Housing Element, Developer has proposed to construct and
rent twelve (12) Very Low-Income Units and twenty-four (24) Moderate-Income Units in the
Development in exchange for a twenty percent density bonus, one concession, and other
development standard waivers. The term “Very Low-Income Units” means units that are rented
to, and affordable to, Very Low-Income Households. The term “Moderate-Income Units” means
units that are rented to, and affordable to, Moderate-Income Households. The terms “Very Low-
Income Households” and “Moderate-Income Households” have the meanings ascribed to them in
Government Code section 65915. Together, the Very Low-Income Units and the Moderate-
Income Units are the “Affordable Units.”
E. Developer or its affiliate submitted, and the County has approved, the
Inclusionary Housing Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B, and the request for density bonus
attached hereto as Exhibit C (collectively, the “Plan”). Under the Plan, Developer will construct
and rent a total of thirty-six (36) Affordable Units in the Development, as described in Section 6
below. The remaining units in the Development may be rented at any rates and are not subject
to the provisions of this Agreement. The inclusion of twenty-four (24) Moderate-Income Units
in the Development as Affordable Units, rather than the inclusion of units affordable to Lower-
Income Households (as defined in Government Code section 65915), is the concession granted
Developer to determine Developer’s compliance with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
F. On August 11, 2020, the County Board of Supervisors approved the Development
with a density bonus of 47 units (the “Density Bonus”) a concession related to Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance requirements, and additional development standard waivers. A copy of the
August 11, 2020 order of the County Board of Supervisors (the “Board Order”), which approved
the Development, Density Bonus, one concession, and additional waivers, is attached as
Exhibit E. In accordance with the Board Order, approval of the Development is subject to the
conditions of approval set forth in the Inclusionary Housing and Density Bonus section of the
Conditions of Approval for Del Hombre Apartments, Walnut Creek (County Files #GP18-0002,
#RZ18-3245, #MS18-0010, and #DP18-3031) (the “Conditions of Approval”).
G. Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval, the Board Order, the Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance, the Density Bonus Ordinance, and Government Code section 65915,
Developer is required to set aside five percent of the total number of rental units for rent to very
low-income households and 10 percent of the total number of rental units for rent to moderate
income households, for a minimum of 55 years. In addition, Developer is required to cause this
Agreement to be signed and recorded against the Property prior to the issuance of building
permits or the recordation of the parcel map for the Development.
H. The Developer is entering into this Agreement to fulfill the Conditions of
Approval and to obtain rights to develop the Development.
I. The County is entering into this Agreement in reliance on the Developer’s
promise to meet the requirements of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the Density Bonus
Ordinance, the Plan, and the Conditions of Approval, by which the stock of affordable housing in
the community will be increased during the term of this Agreement.
3
The parties therefore agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. General. This Agreement is subject to the terms set forth below and each of the exhibits
to this Agreement, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Exhibits. The following exhibits are attached to this Agreement:
Exhibit A – Legal Description of Property
Exhibit B – Inclusionary Housing Plan
Exhibit C – Density Bonus Request
Exhibit D – Income Certification Form
Exhibit E – Board Order (including Conditions of Approval)
3. Satisfaction of Conditions of Approval. Developer shall cause this Agreement to be
recorded against the Property at least 90 days prior to the County’s issuance of building
permits or recordation of the parcel map for the Development; provided, however, that
the Director of the County’s Conservation and Development Department (the “Director”)
may waive or modify the required timing of the recordation at his discretion. The
Developer shall pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with any such recording.
The recording of the Agreement shall occur after the acceptance of the document by the
County and prior to the filing of a building permit or recordation of the Parcel Map.
Execution, recordation, performance of and compliance with this Agreement constitutes
performance of conditions number 7 through 15 of the Conditions of Approval and is
sufficient in that respect to permit the issuance of building permits or recordation of the
parcel map for the Development, subject to satisfaction of all other applicable conditions
and compliance with all provisions of the law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Conditions of Approval, including conditions number 7 through 15, are to remain
applicable to the Development, survive any transfer of title to the Property (whether
voluntary or the result of a trustee’s sale, judicial foreclosure, or deed in lieu of
foreclosure under or relating to any senior deed of trust or senior lien on the Property) or
any assignment of Developer’s interest in the Development, and remain in effect
throughout the Term (as defined in Section 5 below) notwithstanding the subordination of
this Agreement to any senior regulatory agreement recorded against the Property in
connection with other financing on the Property. Developer acknowledges and agrees
that, in addition to the Density Bonus, Developer has received significant incentives
pursuant to Government Code section 65915.
4. Obligations Run with the Land. The parties expressly intend the covenants and
restrictions set forth in this Agreement to run with the land and to bind all successors in
title to the Property, provided, however, that on the expiration of this Agreement, such
covenants and restriction will expire.
4
Until the expiration of this Agreement, each and every contract, deed or other instrument
hereafter executed covering or conveying the Property, or any portion thereof, is to be
held conclusively to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants
and restrictions of this Agreement, regardless of whether such covenants and restrictions
are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument, unless the County expressly
releases such conveyed portion of the Property from the requirements of this Agreement.
5. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) begins on the date set forth in the
introductory paragraph and ends on the date that is fifty-seven (57) years after the date set
forth in the introductory paragraph. County agrees to record a document acknowledging
the termination of this Agreement following the expiration of the Term but County’s
failure to record such document will not negate the automatic expiration and termination
of this Agreement at the end of the Term.
6. Rental of Affordable Units. Pursuant to and in consideration of the Density Bonus and
the additional incentives set forth in this Agreement, Developer shall cause at least thirty-
six units in the Development to be rented as Affordable Units, of which Developer shall
rent not fewer than twelve (12) as Very Low-Income Units and not more than twenty-
four (24) as Moderate-Income Units. Developer shall cause the Affordable Units to
consist of the following number and types of housing units; provided, however, nothing
in this Agreement prohibits Developer from renting one or more of the Moderate-Income
Units as Very Low-Income Units:
Unit Size Very Low-Income Units Moderate Income Units
Studio 0 21
One-Bedroom 8 3
Two-Bedroom 4 0
Total: 12 24
Developer shall construct and lease the Affordable Units concurrently with the
construction and leasing of the other housing units in the Development. Developer
shall make all Affordable Units on a given floor available for occupancy no later than
the time at which the market-rate dwelling units of that floor are available for
occupancy. Developer may not lease or occupy any floors in the Development that do
not have Affordable Units before any floors that have Affordable Units have been
leased and such units are fully occupied. Developer may not market any Affordable
Units until the County Department of Conservation and Development (“DCD”), acting
on behalf of the County, has approved a marketing plan for the marketing of the
Affordable Units. The Affordable Units may, at Developer’s discretion, float within the
development and are not specific units within the Development, but Affordable Units
must be dispersed throughout the Development and have access to all on-site amenities
that are available to market rate units. All Affordable Units must comply with the
Conditions of Approval and County Ordinance Code Section 822-4.412.
5
7. Income Certification; Records. Developer shall certify the income eligibility of each
proposed tenant of an Affordable Unit to ensure the tenant qualifies as a Very Low-
Income Household or a Moderate-Income Household. The income levels of all applicants
for Affordable Units in the Development shall be certified prior to initial occupancy and
annually thereafter. Developer shall require tenants and prospective tenants for
Affordable Units to submit annually the income certification form attached hereto as
Exhibit D with appropriate income documentation. Occupancy and income verification
records for each tenant in an Affordable Unit shall be maintained by the Developer for
the entire term of affordability.
At DCD’s request, Developer shall submit a report and make available for the
County’s review and inspection the tenant records for each tenant residing in an
Affordable Unit. Developer shall cause the tenant records for Affordable Units to
include, the lease, the name, address, number of occupants per unit, number of
bedrooms in the unit, monthly rent or cost (including utility allowance), initial address
of each tenant, income certifications for each person occupying the unit, and the
documents used to certify the tenant’s income. Tenants of Affordable Units shall
provide consent to the owners to allow these disclosures.
Developer shall submit to the County, in a form reasonably approved by the County,
an annual report concerning leasing of the Affordable Units not later than the first day
in April of each year during the Term. The annual report will include the tenant
records for each tenant residing in an Affordable Unit during the previous year.
Developer shall submit with each annual report the applicable compliance review
application and fee pursuant to the Land Use Development Fee Schedule adopted by
the Board of Supervisors.
8. Rent Levels. Each year, DCD will provide Developer with a schedule of maximum
permissible rents for the Affordable Units, using guidance provided by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), and the maximum
monthly allowances for utilities and services.
On or about April 1 of each year, when HCD issues to the County the annual update to
the income limits, adjusted by household size, DCD shall issue to Developer new gross
rent limits for the Affordable Units that include a reasonable utility allowance and
establish the affordable rent (i) for the Very Low-Income Units, as defined in section
822-4.206(a)(1) of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, and (ii) for the Moderate-Income
Units, as defined in California Health and Safety Code section 50053(b)(4) (together, the
“Affordable Rent”) for the following calendar year. Such maximum gross rents will be
calculated in compliance with California Health and Safety Code section 50053, using
the income limits established by applicable law for the various household sizes.
Developer may not charge tenants of the Affordable Units more than the Affordable
Rent.
6
9. Increased Income of Tenant of an Affordable Unit.
a. Subject to Section 7 above, if upon certification of the income of a tenant of an
Affordable Unit, Developer determines that the income of a tenant of a Very Low
Income Unit has increased and that it is above the applicable qualifying limit for a
Very Low Income Household or that the income of a tenant of a Moderate Income
Unit has increased and that it is above the applicable qualifying limit for a Moderate
Income Household (such occurrence, a “Disqualifying Event”), Developer shall not
renew the tenant’s lease of the Affordable Unit after expiration of the term of such
lease.
b. Upon the occurrence of a Disqualifying Event, Developer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to rent another unit in the Development to the tenant at a rental rate
that is not subject to the terms of this Agreement.
c. Upon the occurrence of a Disqualifying Event, Developer shall give the tenant at least
60 days’ advance notice of the non-renewal of the lease.
10. Assurance of Continued Affordability. The incentive granted to the Developer by the
County provides identifiable and actual cost reductions that support the development and
leasing of the Affordable Units. In order for the County to meet the requirements of
Government Code section 65917 that it ensure the continued affordability of the
Affordable Units, during the Term Developer may not rent any of the Affordable Units at
rents that exceed those established pursuant to this Agreement.
11. Damages for Breach. In addition to any other remedy available to the County by law, if
the Developer charges rent in excess of that allowed by this Agreement, Developer shall
be liable to the County for damages in the amount of the rent charged or collected,
whichever is greater, in excess of the maximums allowed herein, with interest
compounded at the maximum rate allowed for judgments. For any other breach of this
Agreement, after notice and opportunity to cure in the manner provided in Section 15, the
County may, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, elect that Developer, or
any of its successors in interest, be liable to County in the amount of $1,000 per day until
the breach is cured.
The parties hereto understand and agree that, notwithstanding any provisions contained in
this Agreement, or any other instrument or agreement affecting the Property, the
restrictions and covenants hereunder are not intended by the parties hereto to either create
a lien upon the Property, or grant any right of foreclosure, under the laws of the
jurisdiction where the Development is located, to any party hereto or third party
beneficiary hereof upon a default of any provision herein; rather they are intended by the
parties hereto to constitute a restrictive covenant that is senior to any instrument or
agreement granting a security interest in the Property, and that, notwithstanding a
foreclosure or transfer of title pursuant to any other instrument or agreement, the
restrictive covenants and provisions hereunder shall remain in full force and effect.
7
The County acknowledges that a portion of the financing for the Development has been
or will be provided by Wells Fargo Bank National Association as Administrative Agent
for itself and other lenders (“Lender”) and that Lender has recorded a Deed of Trust with
Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing against
the Property as Document No. 2020-0287908 in the Official Records (the “Deed of
Trust”). The County agrees that it will give Lender notice of any alleged default by
Developer or its successors under the Agreement and agrees that Lender, at Lender’s sole
election, will have the right (but not the obligation) for a period of sixty (60) days after
receipt of such notice to cure any such default. The County agrees that for so long as the
loan evidenced by the Deed of Trust is secured by the Property, notwithstanding the
terms of the Agreement to the contrary, the County will not, without Lender’s prior
written consent, exercise or seek any right or remedy under the Agreement or available at
law or in equity which will or could result in (a) a transfer of possession of the Property
or the control, operations or management thereof, (b) collection or possession of rents or
revenues from or with respect to the Property by any party other than Developer or
Lender; (c) appointment of a receiver for the Property; (d) removal or replacement of the
existing property manager of the Property; or (e) a material adverse effect on Lender’s
security for its loan.
12. Property Maintenance. Throughout the Term Developer shall keep the exterior of the
Development and common amenities in good, marketable condition and ensure that the
Affordable Units receive the same maintenance and scheduled upgrades as market-rate
units in the Development. Developer shall certify annually in writing to the County that
Developer has performed its obligations under this Section 12. Such certification shall be
submitted with Developer’s annual report under Section 7. County shall be allowed to
make reasonable periodic inspections of the Affordable Units during normal business
hours and by coordinating and scheduling such inspections in advance with Developer.
Permission and consent from tenants of Affordable Units for such inspections shall be
sought in accordance with applicable laws and the applicable leases. Developer shall also
permit the County to inspect the exterior of the Development during normal business
hours and by coordinating and scheduling such inspections in advance with Developer.
Developer shall reasonably cooperate with the County during such inspections.
13. Management Responsibilities. Developer is responsible for all management functions
with respect to the Development, including without limitation the selection of tenants,
certification and recertification of household size and income for the Affordable Units,
evictions, collection of rents and deposits, maintenance, landscaping, routine and
extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital items, and security. The County has no
responsibility for management of the Development.
14. Management Agent. Developer may self-manage the Development but if it hires a third-
party manager, Developer shall cause the Development to be managed by an experienced
management agent with a demonstrated ability to operate residential facilities like the
Development in a manner that will provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing (the
"Management Agent"). If Developer hires a Management Agent, Developer shall
8
provide the County with the name, phone number and email address of the person or
people primarily responsible for the operation of the Development.
15. Periodic Performance Review. The County reserves the right to conduct an annual (or
more frequent, if deemed necessary by the County) review of the management practices
of the Development. The purpose of each periodic review will be to enable the County to
determine if the Development is being operated and managed in accordance with the
requirements and standards of this Agreement. Developer shall reasonably cooperate
with the County in such reviews.
If, as a result of a periodic review, the County determines in its reasonable judgment that
the Development is not being operated and managed in accordance with any of the
material requirements and standards of this Agreement, the County shall provide a
written notice to Developer specifying the requirements and standards the County has
determined are not being met (the “Performance Notice”). The County’s failure to
specify a particular requirement or standard of this Agreement in the Performance Notice
does not waive Developer’s obligation to operate and manage the Development in
accordance with this Agreement. Developer shall remedy all items on specified in the
Performance Notice as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty days of
Developer receiving the Performance Notice; provided, however, if, in the sole and
reasonable determination of the Director, any item cannot reasonably be remedied within
thirty days, Developer shall have additional time as reasonably necessary to remedy all
items specified in the Performance Notice, as long as Developer promptly commences
efforts to remedy all items specified in the Performance Notice and diligently and in good
faith continues to remedy all items as soon as reasonably possible. If in the Director’s
reasonable judgment Developer fails to remedy all items specified in the Performance
Notice within the thirty-day period (as it may be extended pursuant to the preceding
sentence), the County may declare Developer to be in breach of this Agreement and
thereafter subject to the per diem fine specified in Section 11.
16. Approval of Rules and Regulations. Developer shall submit its written tenant rules and
regulations with respect to the Development to the County for its review and shall amend
such rules and regulations in any way necessary to ensure the same comply with the
provisions of this Agreement.
17. No Discrimination. Developer shall cause all of the Affordable Units in the Development
be available for rent to members of the general public who are income eligible.
Developer may not give preference to any particular class or group of persons in renting
the Affordable Units, except to the extent required to cause each Affordable Units to be
rented to a tenant meeting the income level required of each Affordable Unit. The
Developer may not permit discrimination against or segregation of any person or group
of persons on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital
status, national origin, source of income (e.g., SSI), age (except for lawful senior
housing), ancestry, or disability, in the rental of any Affordable Unit in the Development.
In addition, the Developer may not permit any such practice or practices of
9
discrimination or segregation in connection with the employment of persons in the
construction of the Development.
18. Marketing Plan.
a. No later than six (6) months prior to the date construction of the Development is
projected to be complete, Developer shall submit to the County for approval its plan
for marketing the Affordable Units to income-eligible households as required by this
Agreement (the "Marketing Plan").
b. In addition to any other marketing efforts, Affordable Units shall be marketed
through local non-profit, social service, faith-based, and other organizations that have
potential renters as clients or constituents. The Developer shall translate marketing
materials into Spanish and Chinese. A copy of the translated marketing materials
shall be submitted to DCD at least three (3) months prior to the date completion of the
Development is projected to be complete.
Marketing may also include publicity through local television and radio stations as well
as local newspapers including the East Bay Times, Classified Flea Market, El
Mensajero Newspaper, Thoi Bao Magazine, Berkeley/Richmond/San Francisco Posts
(aka Post News Group), Korea Times, El Mundo, Hankook Ilbo, and the Sing Tao
Daily.
c. Upon receipt of the Marketing Plan, the County will promptly review the Marketing
Plan and will approve or disapprove it within thirty (30) days after receipt. If the
Marketing Plan is not approved, the County will give Developer specific reasons for
such disapproval and Developer shall submit a revised Marketing Plan within fifteen
(15) days of notification of the County's disapproval. Developer shall follow this
procedure for resubmission of a revised Marketing Plan until the Marketing Plan is
approved by the County. No certificate of occupancy will be issued by the County
for the Development until the Marketing Plan is approved by the County.
d. Nothing in this Section 18 shall be construed to permit the County to establish rents
for any part of the Development other than the maximum gross rent limits and utility
allowances for the Affordable Units as provided in Section 8.
19. Tenant Selection Plan.
a. No later than six (6) months prior to the date construction of the Development is
projected to be complete, Developer shall submit to the County, for its review and
approval, Developer's written tenant selection plan for the Affordable Units (the
"Tenant Selection Plan").
b. Upon receipt of the Tenant Selection Plan, the County will promptly review the
Tenant Selection Plan and will approve or disapprove it within thirty (30) days after
receipt. If the Tenant Selection Plan is not approved, the County will give Developer
10
specific reasons for such disapproval and Developer shall submit a revised Tenant
Selection Plan within fifteen (15) days of notification of the County's disapproval.
Developer shall follow this procedure for resubmission of a revised Tenant Selection
Plan until the Tenant Selection Plan is approved by the County. No certificate of
occupancy will be issued by the County for the Development until the Tenant
Selection Plan is approved by the County.
c. Nothing in this Section 19 shall be construed to permit the County to establish rents
for any part of the Development other than the maximum gross rent limits and utility
allowances for the Affordable Units as provided in Section 8.
20. Lease Provisions.
a. No later than four (4) months prior to the date construction of the Development is
projected to be complete, Developer shall submit to the County for approval
Developer’s proposed form of lease agreement to be used when leasing Affordable
Units for the County's review and approval. When leasing Affordable Units within
the Development, Developer shall use the form of Affordable Unit lease approved by
the County. The form of Affordable Unit lease must comply with all requirements of
this Agreement and must, among other matters:
i. Provide for termination of the lease for failure to: (i) provide any information
required under this Agreement or reasonably requested by Developer to establish
or recertify the tenant's qualification, or the qualification of the tenant's
household, for occupancy of tenant’s Affordable Unit in accordance with the
standards set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) qualify as a Very Low Income
Household or a Moderate Income Household as each individual case may be, as a
result of any material misrepresentation made by such tenant with respect to the
income computation.
ii. Be for an initial term of not less than one (1) year, unless by mutual agreement
between the tenant and Developer, and provide for no increase in rent during such
year. After the initial year of tenancy, the lease may be month-to-month by
mutual agreement of Developer and the tenant. Notwithstanding the above, any
rent increases are subject to the requirements of Section 8 above.
iii. Include a provision that requires a tenant who is residing in an Affordable Unit
required to be accessible and who is not in need of an accessible unit to move to a
non-accessible Affordable Unit when a non-accessible Affordable Unit becomes
available and another income qualifying tenant or prospective tenant is in need of
an accessible Affordable Unit.
iv. Provide that a termination of, or refusal to renew a lease for, an Affordable Unit
for any reason other than for a “just cause,” must be preceded by not less than
sixty (60) days written notice to the tenant by Developer specifying the grounds
for the action. Termination of, or refusal to renew, a lease for a just cause must be
11
preceded by such notice as may be required by the written lease or applicable law.
For purposes of this Agreement, “just cause” has the meaning given in Section
1946.2 of the California Civil Code (as the same may be amended or replaced
from time to time). If said Section 1946.2 is hereafter repealed and not replaced,
then “just cause” shall have meaning given by such statute immediately prior to
such repeal.
b. During the Term, Developer shall comply with the Marketing Plan and Tenant
Selection Plan approved by the County.
21. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In any action brought to enforce this Agreement, the
prevailing party must be entitled to all costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable
attorneys' fees. This section must be interpreted in accordance with California Civil
Code section 1717 and judicial decisions interpreting that statute.
22. Developer Representation. Developer represents and warrants that it is the owner of the
Property and has full authority to execute this Agreement.
23. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California.
24. Order of Precedence. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of
this Agreement and related obligations, the following order of precedence applies: The
County’s Ordinance Code, this Agreement, the Plan.
25. Risk of Market Conditions. Developer bears sole responsibility for developing,
constructing and marketing the Affordable Units covered by this Agreement, pursuant to
the approvals that the County issued for the Development and the requirements contained
in this Agreement. The County has no obligation to amend this Agreement and
Developer shall reimburse the County for all administrative costs associated with any
modification of this Agreement that requires the approval of the County Board of
Supervisors.
26. Waiver of Requirements. Any of the requirements of this Agreement may be expressly
waived by the County in writing, but no waiver by the County of any requirement of this
Agreement extends to or affects any other provision of this Agreement, and may not be
deemed to do so.
27. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by
all the parties hereto or their successors in title that is duly recorded in the official records
of the County of Contra Costa.
28. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining portions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.
12
29. Notices. All notices required or permitted by any provision of this Agreement are to be

for drainage requirements. The project will include demolition of the existing residential
buildings, removal of approximately 161 trees and work within the dripline of
approximately 27 trees, and grading of approximately 29,000 cubic yards. The project
also seeks a density bonus and concessions for moderate income units and to the parking
aisle width.
The project approvals considered by the Planning Commission also included a variance
for a reduced setback. Upon further review of the Planned Unit District Ordinance, the
requirement for the public road setback pursuant to CCC Section 82-12.402 would not
apply since the project proposes a rezoning of the property to P-1 where the standards,
regulations, limitations and restrictions which are either more or less restrictive than
those specified elsewhere in the zoning ordinance are applied through approval of a
Development Plan. (CCC Section 84-66.1404).
The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) determined that an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was required for the project and distributed a Notice
of Preparation (NOP) on October 29, 2018. The Draft EIR (DEIR) was released for
public review on September 10, 2019 and was available for public review and comment
for a period of 60 days, through November 15, 2019. A public hearing to receive
comments on the DEIR was held before the Zoning Administrator on October 7, 2019.
The responses to the comments received during the DEIR comment period are addressed
in the Final EIR (FEIR) . The FEIR and the mitigation monitoring and reporting program
(MMRP) were made available to the public on May 15, 2020.
County Planning Commission Hearing
On May 27, 2020, the project was heard at the County Planning Commission (CPC). The
CPC opened the hearing, received testimony from neighbors, closed the hearing,
approved the Minor Subdivision (County File #MS18-0010) and recommended approval
of the General Plan Amendment, rezoning, and final development plan to the Board of
Supervisors. The CPC also certified the environmental impact report (EIR) and
recommended that the Board of Supervisors also certify the EIR. Comments heard during
the CPC hearing included traffic and emergency access concerns, density, parking,
consistency with the neighborhood, air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. These
comments were also previously addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Report
(FEIR).
There was a 10-day appeal period for the approval of the vesting tentative map. Two
appeals were filed with the County.
Appeal Points
On June 5, 2020, Contra Costa Citizens in Favor of Reasonable Growth by Amy Zeller of
1293 Honey Trail, Walnut Creek 94597 filed an appeal of the project. Below are the
appeal points and Staff’s response.
Appeal Point #1: Variance findings cannot be made to allow rezoning of property to P-1.
Staff’s Response: Findings to support the variance to the minimum 5-acre lot size
requirement were provided in the CPC staff report and can be found under the Project
Findings Section attached to this report.The County previously rezoned other properties
in the unincorporated Walnut Creek area to P-1 that were smaller than 5 acres.
Additionally, the surrounding area consists of a number of P-1 zoned properties that are
less than the required 5 acres. The Housing Element in the County’s General Plan calls
for the removal of the 5-acre minimum lot requirement for the P-1 zoning.
Appeal Point #2: Project is not consistent with the General Plan Policy 3-8 and the
Transportation and Circulation Element (General Plan Goal 5-I and Policies 5-14, 5-18)
and Goal-1 of the Housing Element.
Staff’s Response: The County’s General Plan Policy 3-8 promotes infill of already
developed areas and preference is given to vacant and underused sites within urbanized
areas, which have necessary utilities installed. The project site is consistent with this
policy since portions of the site are vacant and underutilized, and is surrounded by
existing multiple family development. The Utilities Section in the Draft EIR indicated
that the project site would adequately be served by the existing utilities and the sanitary
and water agencies also would have the capacity to serve the project.
General Plan Goal 5-I encourages the use of transit. The project site is approximately 500
feet east of the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART Station. The project is consistent
with this goal and provides accessibility to the BART Station and bus transit. Thus, this
project is an example of a transit-oriented infill development located on an underutilized
site.
General Plan Policy 5-14 states that physical conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists,
and vehicular traffic shall be minimized. General Plan Policy 5-18 further states that the
design and the scheduling of improvements to arterials and collectors shall give priority
to intermodal safety over other factors including capacity. The DEIR identified Coggins
Drive at Las Juntas Way intersection to degrade to an unacceptable level of service
(LOS) F in the morning peak-hour. A proposed mitigation measure to restrict parking on
the north side of Las Juntas Way between Coggins Drive and Del Hombre Lane could
allow restriping within the existing right-of-way to provide a left-turn pocket and a
through-right shared lane. This improvement would result in LOS D operations (31
seconds) for vehicles, reducing the vehicle impact to a less-than-significant level.
However, the Iron Horse Regional Trail crosses this intersection where there are high
levels of pedestrian and bicycle activity. Therefore, this improvement could increase
vehicle/bicycle/pedestrian conflicts, causing a secondary impact by restriping to provide
an additional vehicle lane. In addition, the inclusion of this left-turn pocket would
conflict with numerous polices (e.g., Complete Streets, General Plan), as well as general
best practices in transit-oriented development planning. Specifically, this improvement
would conflict with General Plan Policy 5-18, which prioritizes safety over vehicle
capacity. Therefore, this left-turn pocket would not be included as part of the project and
this intersection would continue to operate at an unacceptable level of service for
vehicles in the morning peak-hour under Opening Year with Project Conditions (DEIR
page 3.15-51). Although the LOS impact to Opening Year with the project at Coggins
Drive at Las Juntas Way intersection would be significant and unavoidable, a statement
of overriding consideration has been prepared and can be found in the attached CEQA
Findings section and the project remains consistent with General Plan Policy 5-14 and 5-18.
Appeal Point #3: It is not in the public interest to amend the General Plan per
Government Code Section 65358(a).
Staff’s Response: Adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA) is in the
public interest. The Bay Area suffers from a severe housing shortage and severe traffic
congestion. Adoption of the proposed GPA will more than double the subject site’s
development potential and allow for 284 multiple-family residential units in various
income categories to be constructed directly adjacent to rail and bus transit. Furthermore,
the proposed project presents an opportunity to maximize the potential of an
underutilized infill site near the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART Station. The
subject site currently consists of five small parcels. Combining them into one larger
development allows for a more cohesive design approach and significantly increases unit
yield.
Appeal #4: Changing the land use designation to Multiple-Family Residential-Very High
Special (MS) from Multiple-Family Residential-Very High (MV) is not appropriate. The
proposed density is not consistent with immediate surrounding uses.
Staff’s Response: The project is to allow a General Plan Amendment from MV to MS
and to rezone the property to a Planned Unit District. Staff has made the necessary
General Plan and rezoning findings to support the project, which are attached to this
report. The project site is surrounded with various multiple-family developments that
range from 2-4 stories immediately to the south, north, and east. The Avalon Walnut
Creek development, which is approximately 500 feet southwest of the project site is
approximately six stories. Overall, the project is consistent with existing developments in
the area and also seeks approval of a 20% density bonus as allowed under the State’s
density bonus law [Government Code Section 65915(b)].
Appeal #5: The proposed main entrance for the project will be served by a dead-end
street (Del Hombre Lane), which will cause a traffic nightmare. Del Hombre Lane is at
its maximum capacity serving too many residential units.
Staff’s Response: Vehicular access to the project site would be provided by a new
driveway on Del Hombre Lane that provides access to the proposed parking garage.
Based on the existing traffic volumes on Del Hombre Lane and the projected project
volumes, this roadway is projected to operate with minimal delay for vehicles (DEIR
page 3.15-58).
Appeal #6: The proposed density of the project will further cause vehicle conflicts with
those seeking to use the Iron Horse Trail from either Las Juntas Way or Del Hombre
Lane.
Staff’s Response: The DEIR evaluated the bicyclist and pedestrian facilities (DEIR page
3.15-22). The DEIR determined that the project would not conflict with adopted policies,
plans, or programs regarding bicycle facilities, or otherwise decrease the safety
performance of such facilities. Thus, the operational impacts related to circulation system
performance in terms of bicycle facilities would be less than significant. Moreover, the
project would include pedestrian facilities along both sides of the project frontage on Del
Hombre Lane, Roble Road, and Honey Trail. New sidewalks will be located on Del
Hombre Lane and Roble Road. A new crosswalk is also proposed on the south leg of Del
Hombre Lane at Las Juntas/Roble Road in addition to the reconstructed curb ramps on
the southeast corner of the intersection. On the southern end of the project site, a new
curb ramp would be constructed on Del Hombre Lane off set from the existing curb ramp
on the west side of the street connecting to the existing Iron Horse Trail across Del
Hombre Lane from the project site. The proposed crosswalk design does not align with
the existing curb ramp to Del Hombre Lane and Iron Horse Trail, which represents a
potentially significant impact. However, Mitigation Measures Trans-1c and Trans-1d
requires that the crosswalk design be updated to align with existing roadway and trail
facilities and to include a lighting plan for the pedestrian path. These mitigation measures
would reduce the operational impacts related to circulation for pedestrian facilities to a
less than significant level.
Appeal #7: The project is not consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15604.3, since no
VMT analysis was performed.
Staff’s Response: New CEQA guidelines section 15064.3 states that the vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) analysis do not take effect until July 1, 2020 unless the lead agency
adopts them earlier. The County had not adopted VMT thresholds at the time the DEIR
was prepared. However, the County has determined that the 15 percent reduction
recommended by OPR is an appropriate significance threshold for the project given in
the recommendation in the OPR’s Technical Advisory document.
VMT analysis was conducted and determined that the project is expected to generate 11.4
VMT per capita per day, which is more than 15 percent below both the regional (15.3
VMT) and local (18.0 VMT) average. Absent adopted local thresholds, the
recommended OPR threshold for residential uses was applied; new developments that
have an estimated VMT of 15 percent below existing regional and city VMT per capita
(household or home-based) would be considered less than significant. Therefore, based
on the OPR Criteria, the project is consistent with the intent of SB 743 to promote
development that reduces vehicle travel and the VMT impact is less than significant
(FEIR page 3-49).
Appeal #8: Density bonus should not be granted because of the unmitigated environment
impacts the project will cause.
Staff’s Response: The DEIR identified an impact to Coggins Drive at Las Juntas Way
intersection and a mitigation measure required a left-turn pocket. However, this would
create a secondary impact to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing from the nearby Iron
Horse Regional Trail. The inclusion of the left-turn pocket mitigation measure conflicts
with a number of policies (e.g., Complete Streets, General Plan). To prioritize safety over
capacity, a statement of overriding consideration was prepared to support the significant
and unavoidable impact. All other impacts identified in the DEIR are mitigated to a less
than significant level. Additionally, findings to support the proposal for a 20% density
bonus were made. This infill project located next to transit will add to the County's
housing inventory and remains consistent with the goals and policies of the County’s
general plan.
Appeal #9: Project is under parked and occupants and guests will use parking in adjacent
townhome and apartments.
Staff’s Response: Parking for occupants and guests will be provided on-site. The project
provides 380 spaces and exceeds the State’s requirement of 373 spaces per Government
Code Section 65915(p)(1). At 380 spaces, there are 96 more parking spaces than
apartment units. Therefore, the project will provide an adequate number of parking spaces.
Appeal #10: The location of passenger loading and unloading zone is problematic as it
borders Honey Trail (single access point or entrance to development) on south side of
project.
Staff’s Response: The plans have been routed to and reviewed by the Public Works
Department and the Fire District. Neither agency has indicated that the passenger loading
and unloading zone would be a concern. Further, the location of these loading and
unloading zone were analyzed in the DEIR which determined that the project would not
result in a conflict with roadway geometric design (DEIR page 3.15-61).
Appeal #11: The lack of appropriate setbacks and the mass of the project will give a wall
or fortress appearance with little or no aesthetic appeal.
Staff’s Response: The project includes a rezone of the project site to P-1, which allows
standards that are either more or less restrictive than those specified elsewhere in the
zoning ordinance (CCC Section 84-66.1404). The project provides an emergency vehicle
access at the rear of the property, which places the building closer to Del Hombre Lane
and consistent with other similar developments in the area. The building ranges from four
to six stories and the design elements of the building incorporate stepped rooflines
utilizing different roofing materials, staggered exteriors to add depth and variation to the
exterior of the building. The closest portion of the building to the property line would be
along Del Hombre Lane at approximately 4- 9 feet.This side of the building would
primarily be six stories and reduces to five stories on the northwestern corner and four
stories on the southwestern corner. There would be landscaping along Del Hombre Lane
to break up the mass of the building. Additional street trees will also be located along
Roble Road and the building on this side would be setback 15 feet from the property line.
The eastern portion of the building will be setback 30 feet from the eastern property line
near the Avalon Walnut Ridge apartments and the existing tree landscape from the
adjacent property provides a buffer between both properties. The southern portion of the
building along Honey Trail will be setback 20 feet from the property and is four stories.
The building façade on the southern side is broken up since the pool courtyard is located
between the southwestern and southeastern corners of the building.
Appeal #12: The following are suggested project revisions:
Reduced density by keeping current General Plan designation of MV to allow 130 units, including a density
bonus;
Building stepped back to reduce massing and to provide landscape buffer to protect existing tree line along
Honey Trail;
Main driveway should be 26 feet and not 24 feet;
Main entrance on Roble Road, which has two way street or access or extend Del Hombre to Treat.
Staff’s Response:
The suggestion to reduce the density by keeping the current MV General Plan
designation would reduce the number of market rate and affordable units. Thus, the
recommended number of units would not meet the project’s objective of providing the
housing needed in Contra Costa County on an underutilized site that is next to transit.
As mentioned in Appeal #10, the building will be four stories as viewed from Honey
Trail, will be approximately 20 feet away along the southern property line that abuts
Honey Trail, and there are existing trees that buffer the project from Honey Trail.
Additional landscape will also be provided along the southern portion of the building.
According to CCC Section 82-16.404(a)(2), the access drive must measure at least twelve
feet wide if it will be used for one-way traffic, and at least twenty feet wide if it will be
used for two-way traffic. The access driveway is approximately 24 feet wide and meets
this requirement. However, within the parking garage, the project proposes parking
spaces at 90 degrees, which requires two way travel to have 25-foot aisle width [CCC
Section 82-16.404(b)(1)(c)]. The project proposes a 24-foot-wide parking aisle width
within the garage, and therefore has requested a reduction of this development standard
as an incentive per Government Code Section 65915(e) of the State’s Density Bonus Law.
The project proposes the entrance to the site on Del Hombre Lane. As such, the traffic
impact study and the Draft EIR analyzed the Del Hombre Lane access and not Roble
Road. Roble Road is a private road that will be used for emergency vehicle access to the
site. The suggestion to extend Del Hombre Lane to Treat Boulevard would not be
feasible, especially since the Iron Horse Regional Trail crosses that area.
The appellant also provided as an exhibit a letter from Adams Broadwell Joseph &
Cardozo dated May 27, 2020 addressed to the County Planning Commission. The
concerns indicated in this letter are addressed in the appeal points below.
On June 8, 2020, Adams Broadwell Joseph & Cardozo of 601 Gateway Boulevard, Suite
1000, South San Francisco filed an appeal of the vesting tentative map. The appellant
also provided, as an exhibit, a letter from Adams Broadwell Joseph & Cardozo dated
May 27, 2020 addressed to the County Planning Commission. The County’s consultant
FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) has prepared a written response related to the Greenhouse
Gases and Air Quality comments that is included as an attachment to this report. The
appeal points are addressed below incorporating FCS' responses to the comments.
Appeal #1: The EIR uses incorrect and unsupported Greenhouse Gases (GHG) thresholds
to support its GHG analysis. The EIR fails to support the use of its GHG threshold with
any evidence, except for the vague statement in the Final EIR (FEIR) that this is the
“substantial progress threshold.” Without substantial evidence justifying the County’s use
of the 2030 threshold, the EIR cannot be approved as satisfying CEQA’s requirement of
disclosure and analysis.
Staff Response: As noted on page 3.7-42 of the DEIR, the thresholds of significance
provided in the 2017 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines were established based on meeting the
2020 GHG targets set forth in Assembly Bill (AB) 32. AB 32 targets are based on 2020
GHG reduction goals. The 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines contain the following
thresholds for GHG emissions: For land use development projects (including residential,
commercial, industrial, and public land uses and facilities), the threshold is (1)
compliance with a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy; or (2) annual emissions less than
1,100 metric tons per year of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e); or (3) 4.6 metric tons
CO 2e/service population/year (residents + employees).
As the project would be developed and become operational post-2020, it is appropriate to
identify thresholds that address post-2020 GHG reduction targets. This was noted in the
DEIR and reaffirmed in the FEIR. The 2017 Scoping Plan provides an intermediate target
that is intended to achieve reasonable progress towards goals for 2050 under Executive
Order S-3-05. The BAAQMD had not updated their recommended GHG emissions
thresholds to address target reductions past year 2020, at the time the DEIR or FEIR were
published. However, consistent with current State directives, the updated target identified
and addressed in the DEIR requires an additional 40 percent reduction in GHG emissions
by year 2030. Applied to the BAAQMD quantitative thresholds based on 2020 AB 32
GHG reduction goals, this would equate to 660 metric tons (MT) carbon dioxide
equivalent (CO2e) per year by year 2030 or 2.6 MT CO2e per year per service population
(SP) by year 2030.
The GHG analysis for the project (summarized in Impact GHG-1 of the DEIR) assessed
emissions for the operational years of 2022 and 2030. As noted in both the DEIR and
FEIR, the total project emissions in these years were analyzed against the 2020
BAAQMD efficiency threshold of 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year and the projected 2030
efficiency threshold of 2.6 MT CO2e/SP/year. The project’s estimated GHG emissions
for the 2022 operational year were shown because 2022 is used as the operational year
throughout the DEIR. Given that BAAQMD’s most current and formally adopted
thresholds include the 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year, it is appropriate that the DEIR compare the
project’s full buildout emissions in 2022 against an applicable adopted threshold. The
DEIR and FEIR both note the 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold is one of the three GHG
thresholds recommended in the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines. The 2017
BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines provides substantial evidence to support the use of the 4.6
MT CO2e/SP/year threshold. Although the reference to 2017 BAAQMD CEQA
Guidelines was included in the DEIR, the DEIR and the FEIR clearly identify that the
buildout year assumed for the project (2022) would be beyond the target year (2020) for
which the AB 32 Scoping Plan established the 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold. To further
address this issue, the project’s emissions in year 2030 were compared against the
projected 2030 efficiency threshold of 2.6 MT CO2e/SP/year. GHG impacts were found
to be less than significant under both scenarios.
The DEIR and FEIR contain substantial supporting evidence for use of the 2.6 MT
CO2e/SP/year. As described in detail above and noted in the DEIR and the FEIR, the
projected efficiency threshold of 2.6 MT CO2e/SP/year was based on the existing 4.6 MT
CO2e/SP/year adopted BAAQMD threshold and adjusted to reflect Senate Bill 32 (SB
32) 2030 GHG reduction goals. Below is an excerpt from page 3.7-42 of the DEIR.
BAAQMD’s project-level significance threshold for operational GHG generation
was deemed appropriate to use when determining the project’s potential GHG
impacts. The thresholds suggested by BAAQMD are as follows:
Compliance with a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy, or
1,100 MT CO2e per year, or
4.6 MT CO2e per service population (employees plus residents) per year.
It should be noted that the BAAQMD’s thresholds of significance was established
based on meeting the 2020 GHG targets set forth in the AB 32 Scoping Plan. For
developments that would occur beyond 2020, the service population threshold of
significance was adjusted to a “substantial progress” threshold that was calculated
based on the SB 32 target of 40 percent below 1990 levels and the forecasted 2030
service population.
In addition, California Executive Order B-30-15 (which established the GHG emissions
reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030) and SB 32 (which gave the
California Air Resources Board [ARB] the statutory responsibility to include the 2030
target previously contained in Executive Order B-30-15 in the 2017 Scoping Plan
Update) are described in the Section 3.7.3-Regulatory Framework of Section 3.7,
Greenhouse Gas Emissions, of the DEIR. The FEIR reaffirms the use of the 2.6 MT
CO2e/SP/year threshold and restates some of the supporting evidence for the threshold
provided in the DEIR. Although a detailed calculation and in-depth explanation for how
the 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold was adjusted to reflect the SB 32 target of 40 percent
below 1990 levels and the forecasted 2030 service population, the DEIR and FEIR
below 1990 levels and the forecasted 2030 service population, the DEIR and FEIR
justified the selection of the 2.6 MT CO2e/SP/year with substantial evidence. More details
on the specifics of how the BAAQMD’s 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold of significance
was adjusted to a “substantial progress” threshold that was calculated based on the SB 32
target of 40 percent below 1990 levels and the forecasted 2030 service population can be
found in the “Final White Paper Beyond 2020 and Newhall: A Field Guide to New
CEQA Greenhouse Gas Thresholds and Climate Action Plan Targets for California.”,
authored in 2016 by the Association of Environmental Professionals.
Appeal #2: The FEIR relies on the BAAQMD’s significance threshold of 4.6 MT
CO2e/service population (SP) to evaluate 2022 GHG emissions from the project. There
are two problems with this use: first, the BAAQMD advises agencies not to rely on its
GHG thresholds as the District [BAAQMD] is in the process of updating them. Further,
assuming it is still valid, it is valid only until 2020. The project will not be operational
until 2022 and probably will not be fully occupied until several years later.
Staff’s Response: As described in the DEIR, further addressed in responses to comments
in the FEIR, and explained above in the response to Appeal Point #1, the project’s
generation of GHG emissions were analyzed against both the 2020 BAAQMD efficiency
threshold of 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year for the 2022 operational year and the projected 2030
efficiency threshold of 2.6 MT CO2e/SP/year for the 2030 operational year. Consistent
with the rest of the CEQA document, emissions at full buildout were shown in the 2022
operational year. Assessing emissions at full buildout in the earliest year of operations
represents a reasonably worst-case scenario, as emissions are expected to decrease over
time for the same activities because of improvements in technology and more stringent
regulatory requirements.
As described in the DEIR, the FEIR, and the response to Appeal Point #1 above, the
thresholds provided in the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines are the most current and
formally adopted thresholds available. In numerous comment letters and other
correspondence with the BAAQMD on the issue, the BAAQMD is merely
recommending that CEQA documents address post-2020 GHG reduction targets for
projects proposed to be developed and become operational post-2020. Although the
BAAQMD has stated that they are in the process of updating their thresholds, they have
yet to publish updated recommended thresholds at the time the GHG analysis for the EIR
was completed or at the time FCS prepared the Memorandum. As described above,
post-2020 GHG reduction goals were addressed in Impact GHG-1 by evaluating project
emissions for the 2030 scenario against the projected 2030 efficiency threshold of 2.6
MT CO2e/SP/year for the 2030 operational year. For disclosure purposes, emissions for
full project buildout in the 2022 operational year were also included and compared
against the 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold. The regulations that have gone into effect as
a result of the State’s and the County’s effort to meet the AB 32 2020 GHG reduction
goal would remain in effect in the year the project’s emissions were assessed in 2022. As
the project is not expected to be fully operational until 2022 at the earliest, modeling
emissions for the 2022 year is more appropriate than modeling emissions for the 2020
year and the use of the 4.6 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold for the year 2022 is appropriate as
described above.
Appeal #3: The DEIR fails to note the removal of the on-site vegetation would
significantly reduce the potential carbon sequestration at the project site.
Staff’s Response: Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing
atmospheric carbon dioxide. California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) does
include options in the modeling to account for carbon sequestration. However, there are
many factors that affect the amount of carbon sequestration from vegetation (vegetation
type, the amount of water the vegetation receives, the age of the vegetation). As noted on
Page 3.7-41 of the DEIR, data are insufficient to accurately determine the impact that
existing plants on-site have on carbon sequestration. Because of the numerous variables
that go into quantifying carbon sequestration and the wide range of factors that can be
used in quantifying carbon sequestration, any estimates quantifying the net change would
be highly speculative. As described in more detail under Appeal Point #4, pursuant to
BAAQMD guidance, carbon sequestration does not need to be included in either the
baseline or when considering the project’s generation of GHG emissions, and, therefore,
not quantifying a change in carbon sequestration would not result in a significant GHG
impact. However, further detail is provided regarding carbon sequestration associated
with the proposed project under Appeal Point #4.
Appeal Point #4: The EIR does not address the increase in GHG emissions from the
clearing of trees and the subsequent loss of sequestration at the site. When properly
included, Dr. Clark calculated that the resulting increase in GHG emissions would be 263
MT CO2/yr in 2030, bringing the project’s total 2030 GHG emissions to 2,187 MT
CO2e/yr. Using the EIR’s service population of 823 people, the project’s GHG emissions
generation will be 2.7 MT CO2e/service population/year, which exceeds the EIR’s stated
2030 GHG emission threshold of 2.6 MT CO2e/service population/year.
Staff’s Response: The estimate of the change in carbon sequestration provided in the
comment letter does not accurately reflect the change in carbon sequestration that would
be expected from implementation of the project. The comment letter incorrectly asserts
that new on-site trees and on-site landscaping would not result in carbon sequestration.
The 20-year estimate referred to by Dr. James Clark specifically refers to the amount of
time suggested to allow the ecosystem to return to the level of biomass, stable soil, and
litter pools of an undisturbed state. Furthermore, CalEEMod includes an option in the
modeling specifically to account for the planting of net new trees and assumes a 20-year
active growth period when accounting for the carbon sequestration rate. Impacts
stemming from GHG emissions contribute to a global impact, so a loss of carbon
sequestration at one site can be offset by an increase of carbon sequestration at another
site. Therefore, the net change in carbon sequestration from the implementation of the
project does not need to be restricted to the project site.
The comment letter also inaccurately states the removal of vegetation on the project site
would result in an increase in the project’s GHG emissions. The removal of carbon
sequestration is not equivalent to the generation of GHG emissions. As recommended in
the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines, only the project’s net generation in GHG
emissions were estimated and compared against the applicable thresholds of significance
in the GHG analyses included in the EIR. The specific guidance provided in the 2017
BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines is provided in Table 4-2 of the memorandum prepared by
FCS. According to CEQA Guidelines 15064.7(c)(d), lead agencies are directed to
"consider thresholds of significance previously adopted by other public agencies."
Further, using the environmental standards as thresholds of significance established by
subject area experts, such as BAAQMD, "promotes consistency in significance
determinations and integrates environmental review with other environment planning and
regulation" throughout the region.
The guidance related to quantifying GHG emissions and comparing GHG emissions to
applicable thresholds is specifically only for the project’s generation of GHG emissions.
Furthermore, the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines provide the following information
when considering the appropriate baseline.
If a proposed project involves the removal of existing emission sources, BAAQMD
recommends subtracting the existing emissions levels from the emissions levels
estimated for the new proposed land use. This net calculation is permissible only if
the existing emission sources were operational at the time the Notice of Preparation
(NOP) for the CEQA project was circulated (or in the absence of an NOP when
environmental analysis begins), and would continue if the proposed redevelopment
project is not approved. This net calculation is not permitted for emission sources
that ceased to operate, or the land uses were vacated and/or demolished, prior to
circulation of the NOP or the commencement of environmental analysis. This
approach is consistent with the definition of baseline conditions pursuant to CEQA.
As noted in the BAAQMD’s recommendations for establishing a baseline for the
purposes of CEQA and estimating emissions, only existing sources of emissions are of
concern. Pursuant to BAAQMD guidance, carbon sequestration does not need to be
included in either the baseline or when considering the project’s generation of GHG
emissions, and, therefore, not quantifying a change in carbon sequestration would not
result in a significant GHG impact.
Although a change in carbon sequestration does not equate to a generation of GHG
emissions and is not required to be included as part of the sources used to estimate the
project’s net generation GHG emissions for comparison against the applicable
thresholds, the following analysis has been provided for informational purposes.
Dr. Clark calculated that the resulting increase in GHG emissions would be 263 MT
CO2/yr in 2030, which would bring the project’s total 2030 GHG emissions to 2,187 MT
CO2e/yr. Dr. Clark’s reasoning and methodology is summarized below.
The CalEEMod analysis, relied on in the FEIR, includes a default GHG
accumulation per acre factor for trees of 111 MT CO2/acre.’ Additional GHG would
be stored in the understory. The FEIR did not include the increase in GHG
emissions from clearing vegetation from the site. The resulting increase in GHG
emissions from removing the vegetation are (2.37 acres)(111 MT CO2/acre) = 263
MT CO2/yr. Thus, the total year 2030 GHG emissions are 1,924 + 263 = 2,187 MT
CO2e/yr.
The calculations in the comment letter were based on the removal of 2.37 acres of
vegetation at 111 MT CO2/acre. The factor of 111 MT CO2/acre is the value provided in
CalEEMod for a change in vegetation for the “forest land, trees” vegetation land use type
and vegetation land use subtype. Using this methodology, Dr. Clark’s calculations should
be adjusted by a factor of 32.3 percent (based on 61 net trees removed with 189 trees
currently on-site).[1] Multiplying 263 MT CO2e/yr—the emissions assumed in the
comment letter—by 32.3 percent results in 84.9 MT CO2e/yr. Including an additional
84.9 MT CO2/year would bring the project’s operational GHG emissions to 2,476 MT
CO2e/year in 2022 and 2,009 MT CO2e/year in 2030. Using a service population of 823
employees plus residents, the project would generate approximately 3.0 MT CO2e per
service person per year in the year 2022 and 2.4 MT CO 2e per service person per year in
the year 2030 in terms of total (amortized construction plus operational) project GHG
emissions. Therefore, the project would not exceed the BAAQMD’s threshold of 4.6 MT
CO2e/service population/year for the 2022 GHG emissions or the 2.6 MT CO2e/service
population/year for the 2030 GHG emissions even if the additional emissions were
included. Therefore, the GHG impact related to the project’s net generation of GHG
emissions would remain less than significant.
Available vegetation land use types under CalEEMod’s land use change options include
forest land, cropland, grassland, wetlands, and others. Under the forest land type, the
available land use subtypes include trees or scrub. The options available in CalEEMod
using the change in land use type method are provided in Table 11.1 of Appendix D of
the CalEEMod User’s Guide.
As shown in Table 11.1 of Appendix D of the CalEEMod User’s Guide, the annual CO2
accumulation per acre factor for “forest land, trees” is 111 MT CO2/acre and is markedly
higher than the other land use options available. Therefore, the revised estimate of an
additional 84.9 MT CO2e/yr from a change in carbon sequestration provides a
conservative estimate.
Alternatively, the project’s change in carbon sequestration can be calculated in
CalEEMod using the factors for “sequestration” rather than the “land use change”
method described above. Table 11.2 of Appendix D of the CalEEMod User’s Guide
shows the CO 2 sequestered in units of MT/tree/year.

Maximum Difference in Annual Carbon Sequestration for
the Project (MT CO2/year)3.1781
As noted in Table 1, the maximum CO2 per year due to a change in carbon sequestration
resulting from implementation of the proposed project would be 3.1781 MT CO2/year
using the CalEEMod factors for sequestration. Including an additional 3.2 MT CO2/year
would bring the project’s operational GHG emissions to 2,394 MT CO2e/year in 2022
and 1,927 MT CO2e/year in 2030. Using a service population of 823 employees plus
residents, the project would generate approximately 2.9 MT CO2e per service person per
year in the year 2022 and 2.3 MT CO 2e per service person per year in the year 2030 in
terms of total (amortized construction plus operational) project GHG emissions.
Therefore, the project would not exceed the BAAQMD’s threshold of 4.6 MT
CO2e/service population/year for the 2022 GHG emission or the 2.6 MT CO2e/service
population/year for the 2030 GHG emissions and the project’s net generation of GHG
emissions would remain less than significant.
Considering that the project’s net GHG emissions would remain under the applicable
thresholds if either method were applied to calculate the change in GHG emissions
resulting from a change in carbon sequestration, including GHG emissions from the loss
of carbon sequestration would not result in a significant GHG impact.
[1] The project site has 189 trees; therefore Dr.’s Clarks calculation of 2.37 acres of
vegetation being removed is used as a proxy for 189 of 189 being removed. The project
would remove 161 trees and plant 100 new trees, resulting in a net reduction of 61 trees.
Therefore, the assumption that 189 trees of 189 trees would be removed does not provide
an accurate representation of the change in emissions from a change in vegetation.
Appeal Point #5: The DEIR and FEIR contain significantly different and conflicting
estimates of water demand, with no explanation for the differences.The DEIR and FEIR
have significantly different projected water demands, with the DEIR projecting 55.23
Mgal/yr and the FEIR projecting 30.169 MG/yr. This change in calculation has a marked
impact on the projected GHG emissions from the project, and the EIR must disclose the
justification behind this reduction before it can be approved under CEQA.
Staff’s Response: A review of the “Air Quality, GHG Emissions, and Energy Supporting
Information” appendix material included in the DEIR and FEIR (DEIR Appendix B and
FEIR Appendix C) reveals the water consumption assumed to estimate GHG emissions
did not change in the FEIR compared to the DEIR; both versions project 30.169 MG/yr of
unmitigated water consumption for purposes of estimating GHG emissions. As noted in
Section 3.7, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, of the DEIR, project water consumption was
based on the CalEEMod default factors, with an adjustment for compliance with
regulations that would be in place by the start of 2020. This methodology was disclosed
in the DEIR and was further supported and explained in response to comments in the
FEIR. These estimates account for compliance with the latest building standards, which
have significantly decreased the amount of water typically consumed in new residences
built in California over time. The estimates are also specific to the region and are
explained in detail in the CalEEMod User Guide. The number 55.23 million gallons/year
estimate referred to in the comment letter is from Section 3.17, Utilities and Service
Systems, and not from Section 3.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions, or the appendix materials
that support Section 3.7. The estimate provided in the Utilities and Service Systems
section is based on historical data from the Contra Costa County 2015 Urban Water
Management Plan, which overestimates water consumption for new residences, as they
would be based on averages from residences built in past that would include homes with
older appliances.
The comment letter recommends a usage rate of 92 gallons per capita be used to estimate
GHG emissions based on the California Water Resources Control Board water
conservation production reports from 2019. However, this average per capita usage for
residential development does not consider the type of residential development. Water
usage varies widely based on the type of residential development (i.e. single-family home
versus multi-family apartment). Because this usage rate does not specify the type of
residential development assessed, it is not applicable to this project and should not be
used to estimate GHG emissions.
Appeal Point #6: The FEIR maintains that its water consumption analysis was accurately
modeled to include “Apply Water Conservation Strategy” because it incorporated Green
Building Code Standards and the Water Efficient Land Use Ordinance. However, the
FEIR does not identify how these standards will lead to the reduction of water
consumption.
Staff’s Response: During the comment period, a comment was received that stated that
the “compliance with Green Building Code or the California Model Water Efficient
Landscape” was not sufficient to justify use of the “Apply Water Conservation Strategy”
in CalEEMod. In response to this comment, the FEIR included clarification that the
project would comply with California Green Building Standards (CALGreen) and the
California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. This was noted in Chapter 2,
Project Description, and the clarification was included in Section 3, Errata, of the FEIR.
The CalEEMod model used for the GHG analysis would not otherwise account for
reductions in water use resulting from project compliance with these mandatory measures
unless “Apply Water Conservation Strategy” was manually included in the model as
“mitigation” per the structure/naming of CalEEMod. However, this would be part of the
project design and the applicant would be required to adhere to these measures.
Specifically, “Apply Water Conservation Strategy” was included to reflect compliance
with CALGreen and the California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. Energy
savings from water conservation resulting from CALGreen for indoor water use and
California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance for outdoor water use are not
automatically included in CalEEMod and need to be entered in manually. The Water
Conservation Act of 2009 mandates a 20 percent reduction in urban water use that is
implemented with these regulations, which is the source behind the 20 percent reduction
from compliance. CALGreen (California Code of Regulations [CCR] Title 24, Part 11
code) provides means for conserving water use indoors, outdoors, and in waste-water
conveyance (Division 4.3 Water Efficiency and Conservation). The project would be
required to adhere to all applicable measures. Benefits of the water conservation
regulations are applied in the CalEEMod mitigation component through the “Apply
Water Conservation Strategy.” Table 1 demonstrates the project applicability of these
regulations as well as the reduction source and the percent reduction in 2022 and 2030.

Notes:
The source of the percentage reductions from each measure are from the following sources:
1 California Green Building Standards Code
2 California Water Plan Update 2018 (California Department of Water Resources [CDWR]
2018)
Therefore, use of the Apply Water Conservation Strategy in the CalEEMod model
accurately represents the project’s compliance with existing ordinances and building
standards. The use of the Apply Water Conservation Strategy in the unmitigated
scenarios accurately reflects this reduction as part of the project design and is accurately
modeled in CalEEMod. Furthermore, the CalEEMod input was disclosed in the DEIR
and FEIR through the inclusion of the CalEEMod output files included as part of the “Air
Quality, GHG Emissions, and Energy Supporting Information” appendix (DEIR
Appendix B and FEIR Appendix C).
Appeal Point #7: The FEIR increased unmitigated mobile source emissions by 3% in
2020 and 2030, relative to estimates in the DEIR. Further, the FEIR indicates that revised
mobile source GHG emissions decrease from 1,644 MT CO2e/yr in 2022 to 1,305 MT
CO2e/yr in 2030 (as opposed to 1,599 MT CO2e/yr in 2022 to 1,269 MT CO2/yr in 2030
as disclosed in the DEIR). However, the FEIR does not reveal the basis for the increase
relative to the DEIR nor the decrease from 2022 to 2030. Thus, the major source of the
project’s GHG emissions is unsupported.
Appeal Point #8: GHG emissions from mobile sources depend on the fleet mix, miles
travelled, and vehicle emission factors. A review of the CalEEMod output files in DEIR
Appendix B and FEIR Appendix C indicate that the fleet mix and miles traveled are
disclosed in the CalEEMod modeling Appendices and did not change between the DEIR
and FEIR. Thus, the only factor that could have changed is the emission factors in MT
CO2e per mile travelled. The DEIR and FEIR both fail to disclose the GHG emission
factors assumed for mobile sources in 2022 and 2030. Thus, the major source of GHG
emissions for the project is unsupported.
Staff’s Response to Appeal Points #7 and 8: Compared to the DEIR, the following
assumptions did not change in the FEIR:
• Fleet mix (in any operational run);
• Miles traveled based on trip type (in any operational run);
• Trip type percentages; and,
• Trip purpose percentages.
Compared to the DEIR, the following assumptions did change in the FEIR:
• The trip rate applied to Sunday trips.
As discussed in the FEIR starting on Page 3-44, the mobile-source emissions for both the
2022 and 2030 scenarios increased in the FEIR compared to the DEIR. As also noted in
the FEIR, these revisions were made in response to comments. A comment received on
the DEIR asserted that Sunday trips were underestimated for the operational phase. As
described in the FEIR, the operational modeling was revised in response to this comment.
The commenter had asserted that the inputs used to represent Sunday trips in the DEIR
underestimated the trips because they were less than the trips used in the Transportation
Impact Assessment (TIA). The air quality and GHG analysis in the DEIR used the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition Trip
Rates for the ITE Land Use Category 220, applied a 20 percent reduction for additional
use of alternative modes of transportation, and applied a 5 percent increase to account for
ridesharing trips. The analysis in the DEIR used the methodology consistent with the TIA
to determine the project-specific trip rates to apply in the CalEEMod modeling for
weekday, Saturday, and Sunday trips. Because the applicable ITE trip rate for Sunday
trips is less than the applicable ITE trip rate for weekday trips, the projected trips for
Sunday utilized in the modeling were less than the trips projected for weekdays and
Saturdays. In response to the comment, the modeling was revised in the FEIR so that the
reduction for the use of alternative modes of transportation was not applied to Sunday
trips. To reflect this change, the specific “Sunday” trip rate was changed in the
CalEEMod inputs from 5.34 trips per dwelling unit to 6.59 trips per dwelling unit. Both
5.34 trips per dwelling unit and 6.59 trips per dwelling unit are non-default values;
therefore, both of these inputs to the CalEEMod model are included in the “Non-Default
Data” data table of the appropriate CalEEMod output files. These CalEEMod output files
were included as part of the “Air Quality, GHG Emissions, and Energy Supporting
Information” appendix (DEIR Appendix B and FEIR Appendix C). Furthermore, the
difference in overall vehicle miles travelled resulting from these changes can also be seen
by comparing the “Trip Summary Information” sections of the appropriate operational
CalEEMod output files. No other changes were made to the inputs affecting
mobile-source emissions in the FEIR compared to the DEIR. The differences in the
estimated project-generated operational emissions resulting from these changes were
disclosed in the Errata, included as Section 3 of the FEIR.
As described above, the only difference in the CalEEMod inputs associated with
operational mobile-source emissions in the FEIR compared to the DEIR included the
increased trip rates applied to Sunday trips in all operational CalEEMod runs. Therefore,
although individual trip lengths did not change, the overall projected vehicle miles
travelled increased in the FEIR compared to the DEIR, an increase that does not affect the
conclusions in the DEIR and FEIR. The comment letter incorrectly concluded that “the
only factor that could have changed is the emission factors in MT CO 2e per mile
travelled.”
Furthermore, the commenter incorrectly states that “the DEIR and FEIR both fail to
disclose the GHG emission factors assumed for mobile sources in 2022 and 2030.” The
emission factors used to estimate GHG emissions from mobile-source emissions did not
change in the FEIR compared to the DEIR. As noted in the DEIR, CalEEMod version
2016.3.2 was used to estimate project emissions for both the DEIR and the FEIR. No
changes were made to the default emissions factors to estimate GHG emissions in either
the 2022 or 2030 operational year. As previously mentioned, the complete CalEEMod
output files used to estimate GHG emissions were included in the “Air Quality, GHG
Emissions, and Energy Supporting Information” appendix (DEIR Appendix B and FEIR
Appendix C). Any changes to non-default values are shown in the output files. FCS
reviewed the operational output files included in DEIR Appendix B and FEIR Appendix
C, and no changes were made to the default emission factors in any operational run used
to estimate emissions in either the DEIR or the FEIR. The operational runs used the
default mobile-source emission factors and the fleet mixes for the operational year
analyzed. As noted in Section 3.2, Air Quality, of the DEIR and disclosed in every
operational output file included in DEIR Appendix B and FEIR Appendix C, project
emissions were assessed for a project in Contra Costa County. Therefore, the GHG
emissions factors used to estimate GHG emissions for mobile-source emissions in the
2022 and 2030 scenarios were both disclosed and supported in both the DEIR and FEIR.
Appeal Point #9: Additionally, the DEIR assumed GHG emissions from processing
project waste would be reduced by 74%, from 66 MT CO2e/yr to 49 MT CO2e/yr by
complying with AB 341. However, as Dr. Cla

7. This project is subject to Chapter 822-4, Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Terms
and definitions regarding the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance are pursuant to
this chapter. Pursuant to Section 822-4.402(c) of the County Ordinance Code, in a
residential development of 237 rental units, at least fifteen percent of the rental
units shall be developed and rented as inclusionary units.
The applicant, owner, and/or developer (Applicant) is required to construct 36
inclusionary units for the project. The Applicant has submitted an Inclusionary
Housing Plan dated April 24, 2017, which proposes to construct and rent 24
moderate income housing units and 12 very low income housing units.
The Applicant submitted a density bonus request dated November 8, 2018, which
proposed to construct five percent of the total units of the housing development
for very low income households for a twenty percent density bonus pursuant to
Government Code 65915(b)(1)(B), one concession, a request for parking ratio
standards pursuant to Government Code 65915(p), and a reduction of
development standards pursuant to Government Code 65915(e). A 237 unit
rental housing project with a twenty percent density bonus would allow the 284
unit housing development.

Biological Resources
25. The following measures shall be implemented prior to demolition, construction
activities, or tree removal:
• A qualified wildlife Biologist shall conduct surveys for special-status bats
during the appropriate time of day to maximize detectability to determine
if bat species are roosting near the work area no less than 7 days and no
more than 14 days prior to tree removal, beginning ground disturbance
and/or construction. Survey methodology may include visual surveys of
bats (e.g., observation of bats during foraging period), inspection for
suitable habitat, bat sign (e.g., guano), or use of ultrasonic detectors
(Anabat, etc.). Visual surveys shall include trees within 0.25 mile of project
construction activities. The type of survey will depend on the condition of
the potential roosting habitat. If no bat roosts are found, then no further
study is required.
• If evidence of bat use is observed, the number and species of bats using
the roost will be determined. Bat detectors may be used to supplement
survey efforts.
• If roosts are determined to be present and must be removed, the bats shall
be excluded from the roosting site before the facility is removed. A
mitigation program addressing compensation, exclusion methods, and
roost removal procedures shall be developed prior to implementation.
Exclusion methods may include use of one-way doors at roost entrances
(bats may leave but cannot reenter), or sealing roost entrances when the
site can be confirmed to contain no bats. Exclusion efforts may be restricted
during periods of sensitive activity (e.g., during hibernation or while females
in maternity colonies are nursing young).
• If roosts cannot be avoided or it is determined that construction activities
may cause roost abandonment, such activities shall not commence until
permanent, elevated bat houses have been installed outside of, but near the
construction area. Placement and height shall be determined by a qualified
wildlife Biologist, but the height of the bat house will be at least 15 feet. Bat
houses will be multi-chambered and will be purchased or constructed in
accordance with CDFW standards. The number of bat houses required will

be dependent upon the size and number of colonies found, but at least one
bat house will be installed for each pair of bats (if occurring individually), or
of sufficient number to accommodate each colony of bats to be relocated.
(MM BIO-1a)
26. The following measures shall be implemented for construction work during the
nesting season (February 15 through August 31):
• If construction or tree removal is proposed during the breeding/nesting
season for migratory birds (typically February 15 through August 31), a
qualified Biologist shall conduct pre-construction surveys for northern
harrier, pallid bat, Townsend’s big-ear bat, and other migratory birds
within the construction area, including a survey buffer determined by a
qualified Biologist based on professional experience, no more than 14
days prior to the start of ground disturbing activities in the construction
area.
• If an active nest is located during pre-construction surveys, USFWS and/or
CDFW (as appropriate) shall be notified regarding the status of the nest.
Furthermore, construction activities shall be restricted as necessary to
avoid disturbance of the nest until it is abandoned or a qualified Biologist
deems disturbance potential to be minimal. Restrictions may include
establishment of exclusion zones (no ingress of personnel or equipment at
a minimum radius of 300 feet around an active raptor nest and 50-foot
radius around an active migratory bird nest) or alteration of the
construction schedule.
• A qualified Biologist shall delineate the buffer using nest buffer signs, ESA
fencing, pin flags, and or flagging tape. The buffer zone shall be
maintained around the active nest site(s) until the young have fledged and
are foraging independently. (MM BIO-1b)
Tree Removal
27. A Tree Replacement Plan shall be submitted to and approved by Contra Costa
County Department of Conservation and Development prior to the removal of
trees, and/or prior to issuance of a demolition or grading permit. The Tree
Replacement Plan shall designate the approximate location, number, and sizes of

trees to be planted. Trees shall be planted prior to requesting a final inspection of
the building permit. (MM BIO-5a)
Restitution for Tree Removal
28. Required Restitution for Approved Tree Removal: The following measures are
intended to provide restitution for the removal of 161 code-protected trees:
A. Tree Restitution Planting and Irrigation Plan: Prior to the removal of
trees or CDD stamp-approval of plans for issuance of building permits
(e.g. demolition, grading or building), whichever occurs first, the
applicant shall submit a tree planting and irrigation plan prepared by a
licensed arborist or landscape architect for the review and approval of
CDD. The plan shall provide for the planting of 100 24-inch boxed trees
or larger. The plan shall comply with the State’s Model Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance or the County’s Ordinance, if one is adopted. The
plan shall be accompanied by an estimate prepared by a licensed
landscape architect or arborist of the materials and labor costs to
complete the improvements on the plan. The plan shall be implemented
prior to final building inspection of the building.
B. Required Security to Assure Completion of Plan Improvements: Prior to
removal of trees or CDD stamp-approval of plans for issuance of
building permits (e.g. demolition, grading or building, whichever
occurs first, the applicant shall submit a security (e.g. bond, cash deposit)
that is acceptable to the CDD. The bond shall include the amount of the
approved cost estimate, plus a 20% inflation surcharge.
C. Initial Deposit for Processing of Security: The County ordinance requires
that the applicant pay fees to cover all staff time and material costs of staff
for processing the landscape improvement security. At the time of

to inspect the trees and to prepare a report on the trees’ health. In the
event that CDD determines that the tree(s) intended to be protected has
been damaged, and CDD determines that the applicant has not been
diligent in providing reasonable restitution, then CDD may require that all
part of the security be used to provide for mitigation of the damaged
tree(s).
E. Integration with Final Landscape Plan: The tree restitution planting and
irrigation plans described in subsection (a) above may be incorporated as
part of the Final Landscape Plan required pursuant to Condition #35
below. However, the planting plan shall identify the replacement trees
required to replace removed protected trees, which are intended to satisfy
this condition. In addition, the provided estimate shall only cover materials
and labor associated with the implementation of the required tree
restitution, and not for the full landscape plan.
29. Tree removal shall occur only with an approved grading or building permit.
Contingency Restitution Should Altered Trees Be Damaged
30. Trees to be Preserved but Altered – Pursuant to the conclusions of the arborist
report, proposed improvements within the root zone of approximately 27 code-
protected trees noted on the site plan to be preserved have been determined to
be feasible and still allow for preservation provided that the recommendations of
the arborist are followed. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 816-6.1204 of
the Tree Protection and Preservation Ordinance, to address the possibility that
construction activity nevertheless damages these trees, the applicant shall
provide the County with a security (e.g. bond, cash deposit) to be submitted
prior to construction activities or CDD stamp-approval of plans for issuance
of a building permit (e.g. demolition, grading or building), whichever occurs
first, to allow for replacement of trees intended to be preserved that are
significantly damaged by construction activity.
A. Extent of Possible Restitution Improvements – The planting of fifteen
trees, 15-gallons in size in the vicinity of the affected trees, or
equivalent planting contribution, and subject to prior review and
approval of CDD.

B. Determination of Security Amount: The security shall submitted for all of
the following costs:
i. Preparation of landscape/irrigation plan by a licensed landscape
architect or arborist, which shall comply with the State’s Model
Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance;
ii. Labor and materials estimate for planting the potential number of
trees and related irrigation improvements that may be required,
prepared by a licensed landscape contractor; and
iii. An additional 20% of the total of the above amounts to address
inflation costs.
B. Initial Deposit for Processing of Security – The County Ordinance requires
that the applicant cover all time and material costs of staff for processing a
tree protection security. The applicant shall pay an initial fee deposit of
$200 at time of submittal for each security.
C. Duration of Security: The security shall be retained by the County for a
minimum of 12 months up to 24 months beyond the date of receipt of the
security and from the time the final inspection for the apartment building
was approved. A prerequisite of releasing the bond between 12 and 24
months shall be to have the applicant arrange for the consulting arborist
to inspect the trees and to prepare a report on the trees’ health. In the
event that CDD determines that the tree intended to be protected has
been damaged by development activity, and CDD determines that the
applicant has not been diligent in providing reasonable restitution of the
damaged trees, then CDD may require that all part of the security be used
to provide for mitigation of the damaged tree(s).
Tree Protection
31. Tree protection guidelines shall be implemented during construction through the

Cultural Resources
39. An archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional
Qualification Standards for archaeology should inspect the site once grubbing
and clearing are complete, and prior to any grading or trenching into previously
undisturbed soils. This may be followed by regular periodic or “spot-check”
historic and archaeological monitoring during ground disturbance as needed, but
full-time archaeological monitoring is not required at this time. In the event a
potentially significant cultural resource is encountered during subsurface
earthwork activities, all construction activities within a 100-foot radius of the find
shall cease and workers should avoid altering the materials until an archaeologist
has evaluated the situation. The project applicant shall include a standard
inadvertent discovery clause in every construction contract to inform contractors
of this requirement. Potentially significant cultural resources consist of but are
not limited to stone, bone, glass, ceramics, fossils, wood, or shell artifacts, or
features including hearths, structural remains, or historic dumpsites. The
archaeologist shall make recommendations concerning appropriate measures
that will be implemented to protect the resource, including but not limited to
excavation and evaluation of the finds in accordance with Section 15064.5 of the
CEQA Guidelines. Any previously undiscovered resources found during
construction within the project site shall be recorded on appropriate California
DPR 523 forms and shall be submitted to Contra Costa County Department of
Conservation and Development, the Northwest Information Center, and the State
Historic Preservation Office, as required. (MM CUL-1)
40. If during the course of construction activities there is accidental discovery or

required. If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American, the
coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC)
within 24 hours, and the NAHC shall identify the person or persons it
believes to be the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) of the deceased Native
American. The MLD may make recommendations to the landowner or the
person responsible for the excavation work within 48 hours, for means of
treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and
any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resource Code Section
5097.98.
2. Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or his or her
authorized representative shall rebury the Native American human remains
and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity either in accordance
with the recommendations of the most likely descendant or on the project
site in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance:
• The NAHC is unable to identify a most likely descendent or the
most likely descendent failed to make a recommendation within 48
hours after being notified by the commission.
• The descendant identified fails to make a recommendation.
• The landowner or his authorized representative rejects the
recommendation of the descendant, and mediation by the NAHC
fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.
Additionally, California Public Resources Code Section 15064.5 requires the
following relative to Native American Remains:
• When an initial study identifies the existence of, or the probable
likelihood of, Native American Remains within a project, a lead
agency shall work with the appropriate Native Americans as
identified by the Native American Heritage Commission as provided
in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The applicant may
develop a plan for treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity,
the human remains and any items associated with Native American
Burials with the appropriate Native Americans as identified by the
Native American Heritage Commission. (MM CUL-3)

The Board last reauthorized the Library Commission for three years through December 31, 2019. Item
C.119, which was approved by the Board on January 5, 2021, reauthorized the commission to continue
operations. Today's recommendation corrects the reauthorization period to begin on January 1, 2020,
through a completion date of March 31, 2024, to coincide with the next triennial advisory body review in
Spring 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If Library Commission is not reauthorized, cities and various agencies will not be represented and the
Library will no longer benefit from their advice.

2020 through March 31, 2024
RECOMMENDATION(S):

2021 Poetry Out Loud (POL) Competition judges a stipend in the amount of no more than $150 per person
to compensate for the time they spent ranking the performance and receiving a training.
FISCAL IMPACT:

County
Subject:Stipend for the 2021 Poetry Out Loud County Competition Judges
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
for the judges ranking the countywide competition is more than those ranking the schoolwide competition,
it is recommended that the countywide judges each receive a stipend in the amount of $150 while the
schoolwide judges each receive a stipend in the amount of $100. Since the conclusion of the 2021 County
POL Competition, one high school competition judge has received a payment of $100 and one countywide
competition judge has received a payment of $150, both of which were issued by the Auditor-Controller’s
Office.
Approval of the recommendation will ratify the total payment of $250 previously issued to the two judges
by the Auditor-Controller. The approval of the recommendation will also allow the Auditor-Controller to
issue additional payment of $450 to the remaining three countywide competition judges and the payment of
$200 to the remaining two high school competition judges.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Poetry Out Loud Competition judges will not receive proper compensation for the time they spent as
related to the program.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the list of providers recommended by Contra Costa Health Plan's (CCHP) Peer Review &
Credentialing Committee on March 9, 2021 and by the Health Services Director, as required by the State
Departments of Health Care Services and Managed Health Care, and the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) requires that evidence of Board Approval must be
contained within each CCHP provider’s credentials file. Approval of this list of providers as recommended
by the CCHP Medical Director will enable the CCHP to comply with this requirement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, CCHP’s Providers would not be appropriately credentialed and not be in
compliance with the NCQA.

News /Accomplishments
As the regional Stay at Home Order for the Bay Area, and all of California, has lifted, CSB
will also lift the current enrollment hold previously implemented to support the order
and the winter surge of COVID cases. CSB is now enroll ing additional families to reach
the max imum capacity for in-class instruction at this time. As the County safely moves
through the tier system, we will continue to add more families and children for in -class
instruction.
CSB conducted its Annual Self -Assessment December 7-11, 2020. There were no findings
and numerous strengths. The report is attached and is required to be shared with the
Board of Supervisors annually. Please refer to attachment 10_CSB 2020 Self
Assessment…
CSB conducted a post training survey on “Racial & Ethnic Equity”. The survey was
completed by 33 staff from Cluster A (west county) and 21 staff from Cluster B (east
county). The training was well received by all staff. 85.19 % of participants expressed the
interest to learn more about the “Equality & Eq uity” topic; 14.81 % would like for an
opportunity to share their own story and learn from others’ life experiences that relate
to “Racial & Ethnic Equity” and 12.96 % would like to share their experience about
overcoming racial prejudice and that has posi tively affected their teaching practices.
Approximately 40 teaching staff, Site Supervisors and Managers from six directly
operated sites and the YMCA participated in the fourth Cohort of the Teaching Pyramid.
The Teaching Pyramid is a systematic framework that incorporates Early Childhood
Positive Behavior Support through promoting social -emotional development, providing
support for children’s appropriate behavior, preventing challenging behavior, and
addressing problematic behavior. Sessions began on January 9, 2021 and will end in Jul y
2021. Classrooms teams will receive coaching after each module by a Teaching Pyramid
certified coach.
The selected teachers for Teachers Learning Collaboratively (TLC) coaching cohort have
started their first virtual se ssions this month. This year’s cohort for each EHS and HS
includes teachers from CSB’s YMCA partner.

The following table represents the areas of strength noted for the program by self-assessment teams:
Components Areas of Strength
Program
Management &
Quality Improvement

structure allows for two-way information sharing with staff and
governing bodies; there are effective systems for communicating with
families remotely.
Adaptations to service design during the pandemic: virtual socialization
opportunities connecting in-class and distance learning children.
Quality Health
Services
Staff knowledge of key policies and procedures, and collaborative efforts
between staff and parents.
Training around COVID, extra measures set in place: i.e. to eliminate
cross contamination in high touch point areas.

Areas of Concern:
There were no areas of concern or non-compliances identified during the 2020 Self-Assessment.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/110 authorizing revised operating hours for the the Walnut Creek, Ygnacio
Valley and Hercules branches of the Contra Costa County Library from those approved under Resolution
No. 2020/317 on December 8, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
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. The proposed library
operating hours were last approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 8, 2020. Attachment A
reflects the proposed operating hours, as well as the current hours, for all libraries in Contra Costa County.
The additional changes highlighted in the attached Table A reflect changes to the hours for the Hercules,
Walnut Creek and Ygnacio Valley libraries, which were listed incorrectly in the table attached to the
December 8, 2020 Board action. If approved these changes will be effective beginning January 1, 2021.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Posted operating hours will not be reflective of each Library's actual hours.

Subject:License agreement with the United States of America, Dept. of the Navy to use and sublicense a portion of the former
Naval Weapons Station, Concord.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Sheriff and other agencies have used an approximately 80-acre area (“Premises”) of the MOTCO
administration area for public safety training purposes. The Navy’s management of training scheduling
has resulted in scheduling conflicts, double-booking, and other concerns.
The Sheriff requires the Premises for its public safety training and is willing to schedule other agencies’
training to reduce the disruptions to scheduled trainings that the Sheriff has experienced in the past. The
Navy has agreed to allow the Sheriff to continue to manage training scheduling under a yearly license
agreement for the Premises. The license agreement allows the Sheriff to grant sub-licenses to other
public agencies that will participate in public safety training organized or scheduled by the Sheriff.
The license agreement requires the County to indemnify and hold the Navy harmless for the County’s
activities under the license. Sub-licenses granted by the County will require the sub-licensee to hold the
County harmless from liabilities arising from the sub-licensee’s activities under the sub-license. Risk
Management has reviewed the indemnity and insurance requirements and has confirmed that the
requirements are acceptable.
For these reasons, Office of the Sheriff staff recommend that the Board approve the execution of the
license agreement with the United States.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Sheriff will not be able to enter into an agreement with the Navy for use of the former Concord
Naval Weapon Station’s MOTCO facilities for public safety training.

FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On November 3, 2020, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Sustainability Committee (Committee) the
question of “how best to engage and encourage other Contra Costa employers to consider accepting the Cut
the Commute Challenge.” The Committee was asked to report back to the Board in March 2021.
The Sustainability Committee discussed the Cut the Commute Pledge referral at its November 9, 2020 and
January 25, 2021 meetings. Over the course of these meetings, the Committee received reports from 511
Contra Costa, the transportation demand management agency. Data on the commute patterns of County
employees was included in the November 9, 2020 agenda, as well as the report provided by 511 Contra
Costa at the January 25, 2021 meeting.

Subject:RECEIVE Report from Sustainability Committee on Cut the Commute Pledge
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
At the November 9 meeting, the Committee discussed the complexity of the issue, equity considerations
with telecommuting, and the importance of discussing the issue with employers moving forward. The
Committee concluded that there should be a joint effort and multi-party conversation about working
from home that includes 511 Contra Costa, Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), East Bay
Leadership Council, labor unions, and transit providers.
At the January 25 meeting, the Committee received information from 511 Contra Costa about work
from home trends currently in the County, the process 511 Contra Costa is using to engage employers,
and how 511 Contra Costa plans to address equity issues. At that meeting, community members raised
concern about increased automobile use and decreased transit ridership as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic. The Committee pointed out the role technology and government policy might play in
reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions moving forward. The Committee noted
the importance of continuing to offer transit services for those who rely on transit.
The Committee concluded that 511 Contra Costa’s mission – to reduce traffic congestion and improve
air quality by serving Contra Costa County with information, resources, and tools that promote
alternatives to driving alone – positions it well to promote work-from-home programs and policies with
employers in the county. The Committee recommends that this work should focus less on the specific
details of the Cut the Commute pledge and more on identifying how to promote alternate work
schedules that reduce vehicle miles traveled, where appropriate, and with attention to the equity issues
that can arise.
The Sustainability Committee will continue to receive work-from-home updates from CCTA and 511
Contra Costa.

County Goal
The Sustainability Committee has
expressed that they would like to
increase participation in Work from
Home as well as shared and active
commute options in Contra Costa
County in a manner that recognizes
and respects equity and economic
development concerns.
511 Contra Costa Mission
511 Contra Costa strives to reduce traffic
congestion and improve air quality by serving
Contra Costa County with information,
resources and tools that promote alternatives
to driving alone.
511 Contra Costa
Work from Home post Covid
511 Contra Costa
511 Contra Costa encourages and supports
Work from Home to reduce greenhouse
gases but anticipates that employers will
assess the Covid Work-from-Home
experience and make decisions about
future programs based first on financial
and productivity considerations.
We are prepared to celebrate and promote
the greenhouse gas savings realized with
Work-from-Home programs, but also to
react to the potential economic and equity
impacts and continue promoting all shared
and active commute options.
511 Contra Costa Plans:
511 Contra Costa
•Encourage employers to set goals for Work from Home
•Relaunch employer outreach for a return-to-work to
offer not only Work-from-Home resources but
information and incentives for transit, carpool, vanpool,
and active transportation
•Work with the Green Business Program to bolster their
commute recommendations and give credit for Work-
from-Home policies
511 Contra Costa
•Promote existing and develop new programs to
encourage non-commute hour mode shift. K-12 schools
returning to in-person classes combined with the
potential of more parents working from home is likely to
shift traffic patterns into the neighborhoods.
o E-bike rebate program launched with an eye to
neighborhood trips
o Bike safety and infrastructure
o Safe Routes to School programs
511 Contra Costa Plans:
511 Contra Costa
•Meet with Chambers regarding potential
business impacts of Work from Home and
mitigation strategies
•Continue working in step with CCTA to promote
and support their goals and strategies to
address transportation needs and greenhouse
gas emission reductions in the county.
•Continue working with the County Sustainability
Committee, as needed, to help them achieve the
county’s goal.
511 Contra Costa Plans:
Thank you!
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the
County Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-502-9 with California State University, Sacramento, an
educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
(CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers to nursing students for the period June 1, 2021 through May

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this agreement is to provide California State University, Sacramento physical therapy
students with the opportunity to integrate academic knowledge with applied skills at progressively higher

patients. The County’s Health Services Department has been contracting with California State University,
Sacramento since September 9, 2004.

Re: Letter of Support for GRID Alternatives
Dear Ms. Manzana:
On behalf of Contra Costa County, I would like to express our strong support for GRID Alternatives to
serve as the third-party implementer for the PG&E Empower Electric Vehicle Program. GRID has a long
history working with communities in our county that have been historically underserved. This includes
installing rooftop solar on the homes of low -income individuals, and facilitating the deployment of
electric vehicles through the Clean Cars for All program. GRID has the right combination of extensive
program administration and community out reach experience for equity programs to bring more electric
vehicles and charging infrastructure to our county.
We appreciate the focus in PG&E’s contract opportunity announcement on the “Bay Point to Discovery
Bay corridor.” Increasing the number of al ternative fuel vehicles is an important goal of our Climate
Action Plan. Contra Costa County is very interested in bringing more electric vehicles to East County.
Since 2015, Contra Costa County’s has required that new commercial construction include elec tric
vehicle chargers, and we are working to increase the number of electric vehicles in our County
operations fleet. We assisted the Contra Costa Transportation Authority in developing the 2019 Contra
Costa EV Readiness Plan.
Contra C osta County looks forward to working with PG&E, GRID Alternatives , and their team to help
make this exciting and important project a success.
Sincerely,
Diane Burgis, Chair, Board of Supervisors

County
Subject:WELLS CAP INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND WELLS FARGO CUSTODY AGREEMENT
2021
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in place for about 28 years, many terms and conditions are outdated. A proposed new IMA has been
negotiated, which is more comprehensive than the existing one and includes provisions that reflect existing
laws, regulations, and industry practice. The IMA also includes a mutual indemnification clause.
The County funds managed under the IMA are to be maintained by a custodian, Wells Fargo Bank, NA,
under a separate Custody Agreement. The Custody Agreement contains a clause whereby the County
indemnifies the custodian and agrees to waive the custodian’s liability for damages.
As part of the account set-up, the County must submit a certification of authorized signers for the
custodian-managed account, which authorizes certain individuals to take actions with respect to the account.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If a new IMA and Custody Agreement are not entered into, the parties will operate under out-of-date
provisions and the fee schedule for services will not be reduced.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
RATIFY a Fourth Amendment to Lease Agreement with Mount Diablo Unified School District to modify
the premises at 215 Pacifica Avenue in Bay Point for the purpose of delivery of COVID-19 vaccinations to
the public at no cost to the County beginning February 17, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
The County has leased this space for use by the Health Services Department since May 1996 to provide
health services and education to the community in Bay Point. Services at this clinic are being expanded to
include COVID-19 vaccinations for the Bay Point community and surrounding areas.

County
Subject:RATIFY an Amendment to Lease at 215 Pacifica Avenue, Bay Point, executed by the County Administrator in
response to COVID-19 Emergency.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County’s Health Officer has determined that accessible, timely testing and vaccination is critical to
reduce transmission of the virus and to protect the community.
The County has activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and several Department Operations
Centers (DOC) to assist in the response to the pandemic. Those operations centers are the hub for
procurement and distribution of services and equipment necessary to respond to the emergency. In
support of this, the County Administrator, in his capacity of Administrator of Emergency Services
(County Code Section 42-2.602) issued an emergency blanket purchase order in the amount of $20
million on Friday, March 20, 2020 for the procurement of services and supplies necessary to facilitate
the COVID-19 response within the County. The Board of Supervisors subsequently ratified the County
Administrator's action on March 31, 2020. Similarly, the County Administrator has entered into several
agreements, including service contracts, license agreements and leases to support the activities
responding to COVID-19. The first set of such contracts was ratified by the Board on April 14, 2020
(Agenda Item No. C.22). The second set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 28, 2020.
The third set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 12, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.60). The
fourth set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 2, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.28). The fifth
set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 11, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.49). The sixth
set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 8, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C108).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not ratifying the emergency actions taken in response to the COVID-19 emergency to modify the
premises at this existing health clinic for vaccine delivery would result in vaccines not being delivered to
the public at this location.
