County
Subject:Status Report on the County's Federal Stimulus Funds (ARRA)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
31, 2010. Contra Costa County was in compliance with the 4th quarter reporting period. To date, Contra Costa
County has been awarded over $67.8 million in ARRA funds and has received $33.8 million.
Staff has prepared this status report on the ARRA funds that Contra Costa County has either received through
formula grants or through competitive grants. Staff of the CAO and the Auditor-Controller are collaborating to ensure
that all reporting requirements are met and all relevant information is captured. Former Supervisor Bonilla requested
that the status report also identify the impact of all ARRA funds in terms of job creation, economic impact, and social
impact, and we have endeavored to capture that information from department staff managing the funds.
The spreadsheet identifying the County's participation in ARRA funding opportunities is attached; it is being
continuously updated as information from Departments is provided. It is also provided on the County’s website,
under the ARRA Stimulus Funding, Implementing ARRA page located at:
http://www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/index.aspx?nid=2409
Noteworthy Projects/Programs:
1. On December 12, 2009, Contra Costa Health Services was awarded an unprecedented $12 million to relocate and
rebuild the Richmond Health Center. Funds were awarded through a competitive grant process for a one-time facility
improvement opportunity to address significant and pressing capital improvement needs in health centers, including
construction and renovation.
In its original application, Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) indicated that the campus of Doctors Medical
Center (DMC) San Pablo, near the current site, was the new location for the Health Center. However, there have
been unforeseen issues with the DMC location that could not be resolved within the two-year timeframe set forth by
HRSA to complete the project. As a result, CCHS has chosen a new location for the West County Health Center in
San Pablo’s Redevelopment Area, 200 yards from the old DMC site.
Construction progress on the West County Health Center for 4th Quarter 2010 consisted primarily of activity to move
forward the first two bid packages - one for the demolition of an existing building on site and the second for site work
and foundations piles. The building demolition bid process has been completed and a contract awarded. Demolition
work will commence in early 2011. Site work is estimated to begin in February. Concurrently, design continues on
the other elements of the project, including foundations, shell & core, mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems, and
tenant improvements.
2. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-R): The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development
(“HUD”) awarded $929,719 to the County for the CDBG-R (Recovery) program. The purpose of the program is to
help the local economy by creating and saving construction jobs by financing CDBG eligible infrastructure and
public facility projects. The Board of Supervisors approved allocating CDBG-R funds to a total of 14 construction
projects throughout the County. As of March 17, 2011, eleven projects have been completed, creating almost 11 FTE
jobs, and leveraging an additional $800,000 in other funds. The remaining three projects are expected to be
completed by August 2011.
Completed projects include: Opportunity Junction, Building Renovation; Knightsen Ave. Sidewalk; Lefty Gomez
Building Renovation; George Miller Center Rehab; Davis Park Community Center Remodel; Chavez Center
Improvements; Las Deltas/Bella Flora Landscape Improvements; Office Expansion—Concord; Renovation of
Veterans Hall—Brentwood; Elevator for ADA Accessibility—Moraga; Sidewalk Replacement—Martinez.
3. Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program: The Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) awarded $1,421,551 to the County for the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP). In
collaboration with other local jurisdictions and agencies, the County awarded a contract to a local non-profit, Shelter,
Inc., to act as the lead agency to provide homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services countywide. Shelter Inc.
established Memorandums of Understanding with the Greater Richmond Interfaith Program (GRIP), Rubicon
Programs, Catholic Charities of the East Bay and Bay Area Legal Aid to ensure that all elements of HPRP are
provided.
As of January 31, 2011, the County has disbursed $798,500 in HPRP funds and has exceeded program goals by
assisting over 270 families by either preventing them from becoming homeless or helping them move from homeless
shelters to stable housing. The County anticipates expending all HPRP funds well ahead of the August, 2012,
program ending date.
4. Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG): The County was awarded $3,574,300 in EECBG
funds and has expended $887,721 through December 2010 for the following:
Municipal Lighting Projects: 5 County Buildings Retrofitted with Lighting Improvements to increase energy
efficiency.
Municipal Building Projects: 3 County Buildings Retrofitted (1 Boiler replacement, and two AC Units) to
increase energy efficiency.
Grants to Non-Profits: 5 non-profit Buildings were retrofitted to increase energy efficiency.
Permit Fee Rebates : This program was launched in September 2010. By the end of 2010, a total of 164
Building Permit fee rebates were issued for contractors/home owners who installed new water heaters,
windows, HVAC systems, and photo voltaic systems on private property in unincorporated Contra Costa
County.
5. The current amount of ARRA funds for the Vasco Road Safety Improvement Project is $11,279,083. This is up
from the $10 million originally received. The additional amount of ARRA funds came from savings from the Vasco
Road Overlay project, below, and from other cost savings realized from other jurisdictions in Contra Costa County.
Teichert Construction is making minimal progress in completion of the Stage 2 improvements of the Vasco Safety
project due to the recent wet weather. A majority of the Stage 2 stormdrain and wildlife crossings with the existing
Vasco Road project limits have been constructed. Weather permitting, all the crossings will be completed by the end
of March. The architectural concrete finish for a portion of the southern limit retaining walls are complete with the
remaining walls at the northern limit to be completed by June. Public Works is coordinating with Teichert
Construction to identify efficient ways to continue construction operations during the winter months, in an effort to
avoid extending project completion into early 2012. Stage 2 road work (grading and paving) will start in early Spring
with Stage 3 improvements scheduled to begin in June 2011. Completion of the entire project is anticipated in Fall
2011.
6. The amount of ARRA funds received for the Vasco Road Overlay Project was $2,762,000. However, given the low
bids received and additional savings to this project during construction, we have applied some of those savings to the
Vasco Road Safety Improvement project as stated above. The remaining portion of ARRA funds applied to the Vasco
Road Overlay project is $1,945,770. The project completed a grind and overlay (inlay) of Vasco Road between the
Alameda County Line and Frisk Creek Bridge (7.4 miles), excluding the area within the Vasco Road Safety
Improvements – Phase 1 project limits. The project did not include any pavement widening and all work was
contained within the existing road pavement. The project included base and pavement failure repairs in some
locations. The overlay was followed by a replacement of traffic striping. This project was completed in Fall 2009.
7. Health Care for the Homeless has received an ARRA award for "Increased Demand for Services" for $224,841
over a two year period, which has allowed an increase in 0.5 FTE for a family physician to see an additional 800
patients over the two year period. Thus far, the County has provided services for 1,110 new, unduplicated patients
with 3,682 visits as of Dec 31, 2010. Of these 1,110 new patients, 405 were uninsured. The County has expended
$196, 611 through December 2010.
8. Contra Costa Health Services also has received a Capital Improvement Project grant for $683,020 for construction
of a new modular unit for the Martinez family practice site. The existing building is in need of replacement due to
asbestos in the walls and a non-operating HVAC system. The asbestos remediation costs exceed the value of the
building, making repair/renovation unfeasible. Since Fall 2008, this building has become almost uninhabitable,
impeding clinical services significantly with compacted services at other service sites. The County has expended
$14,545 through December 2010.
Design development for the Family Health Center is nearly complete. Construction documents and cost estimates are
or will be underway soon. While still on the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center campus, the Family Health
Center clinic has been shifted approximately 200 yards north to allow for a more efficient clinic design and to
accommodate additional parking for the expected patient volumes.
9. The Department of Health Services received an Immunization Assistance Grant in the amount of $135,000, which
was fully expended and claimed. The funds were utilized as a collaborative partnership with WIC and school-based
services to ensure that young children and pre-teens receive needed immunizations. Outcomes included:
completed baseline assessments of middle school immunization rates in West County and began planning for
interventions to increase those rates;
completed and analyzed a survey of WIC clients regarding access to immunization services.
held 2 free immunization clinics at Richmond WIC sties and provided 537 vaccines to 256 people.
increased the up-to-date immunization rate of 2 year-old children at Richmond WIC from 66% to 70%.
10. The Department of Employment and Human Services' (EHSD) Workforce Services Bureau: Through our
Subsidized Employment Training (SET) program funded with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Emergency
Contingency Fund (TANF ECF) funds, the Workforce Services Bureau (WSB) engaged 416 public, private, and
non-profit employers who employed over 1,000 CalWORKs participants and other low income residents and youth
throughout the county. A total of $1,347,667 was used as in-kind match to the TANF ECF funds to fund the SET
program.
Three hundred and fifty-eight (358) participants obtained permanent employment as a result of their involvement in
the SET program. The WSB also partnered with EastBayWORKs using Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds to
transition over thirty (30) SET participants into “On the Job” (OJT) training slots to secure permanent employment.
The Workforce Services Bureau partnered with K to College and local school districts for the distribution of
educational supplies to elementary school children throughout Contra Costa County.
The Bureau also contracted with local taxi companies to provide transportation to qualifying participants as well as
with the Food Bank to provide food boxes to families with an episodic food security need. These services were
provided throughout the county.
A total of $1,241,711 of TANF ECF dollars were spent on the school supplies, transportation vouchers, and food
boxes providing support to approximately 57,841 Contra Costa residents.
11. Workforce Development Board (WDB):
Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). The WDB has overseen a substantial summer youth
employment program for two consecutive summers, and the momentum and successes that have come through
the placement of more than 1600 youth into summer jobs in 2009 and 2010 has had a significant impact across
our county. Without the benefit of ARRA funds for the summer of 2011 and beyond, the Board is now taking
on the challenge of trying to sustain some of the stronger elements of this program going forward.
Bridges-to-Success: As a joint initiative with the City of Richmond Workforce Investment Board, the
Bridges-to-Success program provided enriched summer learning opportunities and paid work experience for
200 youth in West Contra Costa County during the 2010 summer (100 in Richmond, 100 in other West County
communities). This program had the added benefit of helping to strengthen the network of organizations and
services for youth in West County. As this program was closely aligned with SYEP (all BTS participants
concurrently participated in the 2010 SYEP), some elements of this grant-funded project are likely to be
targeted for sustaining as part of the 2011 SYEP efforts.
12. Aging and Adult Services Bureau:
• Senior Nutrition Program Outreach Project: Employed three part-time Outreach Workers to promote senior citizen
participation in the Title III Older American’s Act Senior Nutrition Programs, with a special emphasis on finding
those seniors who have been negatively impacted by the economic downturn, who are otherwise economically
disadvantaged, socially isolated or homebound, and who could benefit from Senior Nutrition Program services.
• High Risk Nutrition Education & Counseling : Increased daily hours of one part-time Registered Dietician to plan
and conduct targeted Nutrition Education sessions for seniors in low-income and minority communities who are at
high risk for diabetes and hypertension. Conducted individual nutrition counseling sessions among this target
population as requested.
• Funded meals in the Title IIIC-1 & Title IIIC-2 Programs in sufficient quantities to meet 100% of current demand
and to offset County reductions in program funding.
13. Children & Family Services Bureau: 341 eligible families were served with a variety of supportive services that
help prevent the placement of children in out-of-home care, improve family functioning, increase timely family
reunification, and/or support placement stability, avoiding the need for placement changes for children who were
placed in out-of-home care.
14. Community Services Bureau:
ARRA COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment): ARRA COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment ) funds provided offset to the
2% COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment ) awarded by the County in 2008-09.
Quality Improvement funding provided the following:
facility upgrades to select CSB (Community Services Bureau) and partner centers;
staff training and development including teacher support groups, Child Abuse Prevention training, Domestic
Violence training , CLASS (Classroom Assessment Scoring System) training, DECA ( Devereux Early
Childhood Assessment) training and 2 Spanish classes;
Teacher Degree Program which provided funding for 18 students in Bachelor’s degree cohort through
Sacramento State;
Training to childcare partners on topics of early care and education;
The development of a Mental Health referral triage system in COPA (Child Outcome, Planning and
Assessment);
Let’s Talk parenting support group;
The development of the Child Safety and Attendance tracking system at George Miller III and Balboa centers.
Early Head Start (EHS) ARRA Expansion provided 170 additional Early Head (0-5) slots throughout the county in
Bay Point, Martinez, Rodeo, Concord, Oakley and Richmond in addition to the Home Based program.
Early Learning Mentor program provides mentoring for 12 CSB (Community Services Bureau) master teachers
protégés. Mentoring is provided by 4 early childhood consultants. The training plan developed for this project
focuses on teachers’ role as effective facilitators of children’s learning. Outcomes are measured by CLASS
(Classroom Assessment Scoring System) scores in the domain of instructional development. These protégés will
become trainers who will then train and mentor additional teaching staff.
519 Households were provided weatherization service through the Department of Energy (DOE) ARRA contract in
2010.
ARRA Childcare and Development Block Grant provided facility improvement and upgrades to 13 childcare
facilities. Upgrades included new shade structures, new playground equipment, and general facility improvements.
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) ARRA funded the following:
A Clean and Green House Cleaning and Homes Services Co-Operative, an Urban Farming Co-Operative and a
Bakery Co-Operative was developed – providing self-employment for approximately 48 individuals primarily
located in the monument corridor.
250 youth gained valuable work experience and received case management through the summer months.
15 Head Start Parents worked part-time/full-time as Clerical Assistants, attended various work related training
and maintained at least one college course through the duration of the program (*this program has continued
despite the ending of the ARRA funding)
17 positions that were in jeopardy were retained at Opportunity Junction
10 emancipated foster youth gained valuable work experience and transferable skills.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The action is to accept a Status Report. If the Report is not accepted, the Board of Supervisors will not have the
latest information on the status of our County ARRA funds.

Title V of the Energy Independence and Security Act . Contra
Costa County and other large population cities/counties are
eligible for direct formula grants from the DOE. This $3.2
billion will fund these direct formula grants through the DOE,
as well as funding for smaller cities/counties which are to be
allocated through the State and the remaining $455 million will
be made available through competitive grants to be solicited
through the DOE.
12.5 Jobs Created/Retained to date (where 1
job = 520 hours worked per quarter)
Will finance well over $1M in building
and lighting improvements which are
expected to reduce the amount of
energy used by County buidings
resulting in direct ongoing cost
savings. Funding allows for
improvment projects that would not
otherwise have moved forward in the
near-term, thereby providing new
employment opportunities for local
administrative staff, engineers,
technicians, inspectors, construction
contractors, carpenters,
equipment/material providers, etc.
Portion of funding to be used for construction-related activities will result in new
opportunities for additional local prevailing wage jobs. Additionally, all
activities being funded are intended to increase energy efficiency and
conservation which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions being generated
from the County's own municipal buildings as well as private sector buildings
located in the unincorporated area.
Applicable reporting requirements are quite detailed and differentiate between what is
required to be submitted Quarterly, Annually and at Final Closeout. Quarterly reporting
requirements appear to be most comprehensive (some of the specifics have yet to be
finalized and released by the DOE), however would at a minimum would include reporting
certain details regarding expnditures and outcomes related to the five specified metrics (1-
Jobs created and/or retained, 2-Energy savings on a per dollar invested basis, 3-
Renewable energy capacity installed, 4-Greenhouse gas emissions reduced and 5-Funds
leveraged).
District Attorney $ 492,869 $ 148,076 The goal of the project will be to control, reduce and/or prevent criminal narcotic
activity, including drug-related violence in Contra Costa County. The grant attorney will
provide assistance regarding all aspects of investigations to the multi-jurisdictional task
force units where the cases involve the trafficking drugs, and gang activity. The project
will enable the prosecutor to work every phase of a case, from detection of a violator's
criminal activity to punishment. The attorney will also be primarily responsible for
supervising court-oredered wire intercepts. The prosecutor will appear at bail setting
and bail studies, pretrials, motions, preliminary hearing, trials, and sentencing on those
cases.The Sheriff's Office representative assigned to CNET, will be a seasoned
investigator with substantial experience in drug and gang investigations. He will be
physically stationed at the CNET headquarters, but will be available to assist in WNET
investigations as required. He will coordinate grant-generated cases, particularly those
involving drug endangered children charges, with the grant attorney.

Data developed from individual
agencies may indicate the success of
a particular team or juridiction;
however, the overall impact of
enfrocement activity cannot be
measure by recording statistics alone.
These statistics must be evaluated in
terms of overall impact each
investigations has on the community.
For instance, several cases have
shown that drug traffickers arrested in
one city have significant ties in several
other cities throughout the County.
The networking of resources has
allowed enforcement agencies of
Contra Costa County to more
effectively combat this crime problem.
The Task Forces have functioned as viable resources to the law enforcement
community in its efforts to combat drug trafficking and gang activity in Contra
Costa County. The cases that the Task Forces have investigated demonstrate
that drug trafficking affects all communiites regardless of socioeconomic
status. The task forces complement local agencies in effectively identifying,
arresting and prosecuting high and mid-level narcotic traffickers and
manufacturers in order to make the county community safer and more free
from debilitating effects that drug abuse poses.
Quarterly financial and programmatic reporting is due within 15 calendar days after the
end of each CalEMA quarter. The Job Data Collection sheet is due each month.

the West County Health Center project by the end of December 2010. We are
expecting a revised Notice of Grant Award that reflects that milestone by the end of
January 2011.
13.0 FTE (Construction related staff)CCHS is replacing and expanding the Richmond Health Center (RHC) at a
new location, 13613 San Pablo Ave, San Pablo, approximately 2 miles from
the current site. Since 1967, the RHC has provided over one million physician
visits to low-income West Contra Costa residents. The existing facility is in
poor condition, overcrowded, and seismically unsafe. Construction of the new
health center will preserve and expand services to low income, uninsured and
underinsured patients.

224,841$ 196,611$ Increased Demand for Services grant for the Health Care for Homeless program. The
purpose of the Increased Demand for Services award through the ARRA is to address
the increased needs of homeless patients. With these funds, CCHS added a 0.5 FTE
physician to increase capacity.
Administered through HRSA 0.50 Physician added ARRA funding provides one half time
physician salary and benefits.
We have utilized the funds from the Increased Demand for Services award
through the ARRA to address the increased needs of homeless patients by
adding a 0.5 FTE physician to our staffing. As the only public safety-net
hospital and clinic system in Contra Costa County, we are the main provider of
care to homeless patients. To address the needs of the homeless population,
CCHS has operated the Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) Project since
1990, bringing mobile clinical services to homeless individuals and providing
homeless patients with access to services from the entire CCHS health care
delivery system. These funds have added additional capacity to our health care
delivery system, thereby enabling our health care delivery system to provide
care to additional homeless patients.

System Preservation (Surface
Transportation Program (STP))
Metropolitan Transportation Commission ARRA provides funding that would
otherwise not be available to construct this
improvement. The development and
construction of this project will allow the
employment of local administrative staff,
engineers, technicians, inspectors,
construction contractors, carpenters,
material providers, equipment providers,
equipment operators, etc. as expected of a
typical capital improvement project. These
jobs would not otherwise have benefited if
not for this additional funding.
ARRA funding provides the creation or
security of jobs that would otherwise
not have been available. The influx of
funding has a positive impact on the
economy through the employment of
workers.
This project will provide improvements to address safety concerns due to cross
median collisions. The connection of a southbound passing lane aims to
reduce the number of merges that drivers need to consider. The motoring
public will benefit from these improvements on this heavily traveled commute
corridor. The project hopes to reduce travel delays caused by accidents,
allowing reduced travel times for the daily commuter. Less time on the road
can translate to a positive social impact as well as a positive environmental
impact, such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions.
Federally funded projects are processed through the State Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) Local Assistance Office. The County is very familiar with the Caltrans process,
as the County receives federal funds on a regular basis. The Caltrans Office of Local
Assistance has very specific processing and reporting requirements as detailed in the
Local Assistance Procedures Manual. Reporting requirements for ARRA will be more
involved than the typical federally funded project. ARRA has a stated goal of improving
transparency and accountability at all levels of government. Therefore, in addition to the
normal reporting requirements, ARRA funding will require the local agency to play a role
alongside the state and the Federal Highway Administration to report the completion status
of projects, estimate the jobs created and the jobs retained. Other reports provided by the
state and FHWA include the dollars, appropriated, allocated, obligated and outlayed, the
number of projects out to bid, awarded, work that has begun and completed, the number of
direct and indirect jobs, aggregate expenditure of state funds, project description,
estimated total cost, amount of covered funds used, etc.

Once the state funding is calculated, 60 percent of the
allocation is awarded to the state and 40 percent to eligible
units of local government. States also have a variable
percentage of the allocation that is required to “pass through”
to units of local government. This amount, also calculated by
BJS, is based on each state’s crime expenditures.
Additionally, the formula calculates direct allocations for local
governments within each state, based on their share of the
total violent crime reported within the state.
Partial funding of 1 deputy sheriff for 1
year, and partial funding of 1 deputy DA for
2 years.
ARRA funding provides the creation or
security of jobs that would otherwise
not have been available.
The grant will fund both sworn law enforcement and criminal justice personnel
positions allowing for job retention and creation.These efforts will enhance and
improve current law enforcement operations.
