119 and SB 866.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a change to administrative process and has no direct fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
AB 119, which mandates union access to new employee orientations, was passed on June 27, 2017. The bill
requires public agencies to provide ten (10) days' advance notice to the applicable union of any new
employee orientation. In addition, the bill also requires public agencies to provide to the unions, the name,
job title, department, work location, work, home, personal cellular telephone number, personal e-mail
address, and home address of any new employee within thirty (30) days of hire or by the first pay period of
the month following hire. The same information must also be regularly provided to the unions for all
employees every one hundred and twenty (120) days. Most of the County's current memoranda of
understanding already include a procedure for

unions to access employees during orientation. Several of the County's bargaining groups, however,
have requested to negotiate the structure, time, and manner of access of the union to a new employee
orientation, as permitted under this bill.
SB 866, which addresses how public agencies and unions are to manage union membership dues, was
passed on June 27, 2018. As a result of the bill, unions are now responsible for informing the County of
any current dues deductions for their members.
The attached side letter is the resulting agreement reached with AFSCME, Local 2700. The County and
AFSCME, Local 2700 have agreed to incorporate the side letter into Section 2 (Union Security) and
Section 46 (Union Representation of Temporary Employees) of the Memorandum of Understanding
between Contra Costa County and AFSCME, Local 2700.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the side letter of agreement is not approved, the current process for onboarding new employees will
continue until an alternative process is adopted.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. OPEN the hearing on submittal of Permanent Local Housing Allocation grant application; RECEIVE
and CONSIDER oral and written testimony; and CLOSE the hearing.
2. ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/286 authorizing the submittal of a Permanent Local Housing Allocation
grant application to the State of California for an allocation up to $13,061,028.

Agreement and all related documents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The grant allows up to 5% administrative costs, and staff has prepared an application that includes that 5%
allocation. Staff anticipates all costs to the County being funded by that amount. This will result in no net
costs to the County if the grant application is approved as submitted.
BACKGROUND:

competitive components. The State designated Contra Costa County as the administrator of the entitlement
grant award for the Contra Costa “Urban County,” which includes the unincorporated communities and all

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Authorization of Application for Permanent Local Housing Allocation Grant of Estimated $13 Million
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the cities except for Antioch, Pittsburg, Walnut Creek, and Concord, which have their own entitlements.
The State estimates the Urban County will receive approximately $13 million over the program’s first
five years, but the amount may fluctuate from year to year as it is based on recording fees from actual
real estate transactions.
The required submittal includes an expenditure plan called a “Five Year Plan” (Plan) for the Board’s
approval as part of the complete application package. The draft Plan (attached) identifies the broad
categories of planned uses of the PLHA award to comply with the program parameters. The anticipated
category of use is new multifamily rental housing construction for households earning up to 80% of the
Area Median Income (AMI) anywhere in the Urban County. This is consistent with the Board's direction
on August 9, 2021, when it authorized staff to prepare the full PLHA application and include the funding
source in the Housing and Community Improvement (HCI) group's annual Notice of Funding Available.
In accordance with the State's PLHA Guidelines, proposals that include even deeper levels of
affordability, 60% AMI and below, will be given priority consideration for the funds.
While it is a cumbersome application process, PLHA is an entitlement grant so the County will receive it
once a complete application is accepted. It is expected to be permanent, but programmed on a five year
basis, with annual funding amounts for the following year announced each spring. The Plan and the
complete application must be authorized by the Board of Supervisors for the initial submittal, with
subsequent annual requests submitted administratively. PLHA funding for new construction will be
low-interest deferred loans to eligible projects, restricted to the target household income limit for 55
years, in accordance with the State guidelines. The State allows a plan amendment process to provide
some flexibility in the event that the funds are undersubscribed, but HCI staff has already received
multiple inquiries about PLHA funds, and expects them to be fully subscribed.
Affordable developments throughout the Urban County will be eligible for the program. Every city in
the Urban County was invited to a meeting with DCD staff in December 2020 to learn more about
PLHA. While some cities considered requesting a sub-allocation of funds, ultimately none pursued it due
to the administrative burden of meeting the State's requirements.
The Board's review of this item was advertised in the East Bay Times 10 days in advance of the meeting
date, and the Plan and application were posted online for public review, meeting the State's public notice
requirements.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not authorize the submittal of the PLHA grant application, the Urban County will not
receive an estimated $13 million to help fund new housing affordable to households making 80% or less
of the Area Median Income over the next five years.

§302(c)(4)(C) Provide a description of how the Plan is consistent with the programs set forth in the Local Government’s Housing Element.
Providing funds for affordable housing and assisting in new construction of affordable housing is one of the key policies in the County's Certified Housing Element. The following sections of the County's
Certified Fifth Cycle Housing Element demonstrate that this 302(c)(4) Plan is consistent with the overall goals to increase the number and quality of affordable housing in the area:
Housing Element Goal 1: Maintain and improve the quality of the existing housing stock and residential neighborhoods in Contra Costa County.
Housing Element Goal 3: Increase the supply of housing with a priority on the development of affordable housing, including housing affordable to extremely low-income households.
Housing Element Goal 4: Increase the supply of appropriate and supportive housing for special needs populations.
§301(a)(1) The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to extremely low-,very low-, low-, or moderate-
income households, including necessary Operating subsidies.
§302(c)(4)(E)(i) Provide a detailed and complete description of how allocated funds will be used for each proposed Affordable Rental Housing Activity.
§302(c)(4) Plan Rev. 5/14/21
§302(c)(4)(A) Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
Contra Costa County plans to use the funds for the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of housing that is affordable to Extremely Low-Income, Very Low-Income, and
Low-Income households (Activity 1).
PLHA assistance will be offered in the form of low-interest, deferred loans. The loans will be evidenced through a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust, and a Regulatory Agreement will restrict
occupancy and rents for a term of at least 55 years.
§302(c)(4)(B) Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income
(AMI).
PLHA funds will be made available to affordable housing developers through a competitive Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process, which the County has extensive experience in from many years of
successfully administering Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds for affordable housing. The PLHA funds will be added to the annual NOFA
cycle for the Federal housing funds. The NOFA will seek development proposals that include new affordable housing units for households with incomes at or below 80% AMI, with priority consideration given
to projects with units serving 60% AMI and below. A mixed-income project with some units at higher levels may be eligible, but awards will be based on number of units at 80% AMI or lower.
The County has successfully leveraged HOME and CDBG funds to support affordable housing projects that have been funded by tax credits and other state funds. This existing plan will be utilized for
administering PLHA funds as well. County housing staff is currently aware of potential projects in the pipeline that may be eligible for PLHA funds and will be reviewing applications annually as part of the
NOFA process.
Activities Detail (Activities Detail (Must Make a Selection on Formula Allocation Application worksheet under Eligible Activities, §301))
The PLHA funds will be used for the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and/or preservation of multifamily rental housing that is affordable to low-income persons earning 80% or less of
the area median income (AMI). Funds will be evidenced through a Promissory Note and secured by a Deed of Trust and a Regulatory Agreement shall restrict occupancy and rents in accordance with the
PLHA-required term of 55 years.

Draft Permanent Local Housing Allocation 5-Year Plan
INTRODUCTION
§302(c)(4) Plan
In 2017, Governor Brown signed the Legislative Housing Package to address the State’s housing
shortage and high housing costs. Seventy percent of the revenues generated from the California
State Property Transfer Fees (SB2, 2017) are earmarked for Permanent Local Housing Allocation
(PLHA). The revenue from SB2 will vary from year to year, as revenue is dependent on real estate
transactions with fluctuating activity.
The PLHA provides an annual source of funding to all governments in California to help cities and
counties implement plans to increase affordable housing stock. These funds will be allocated as
formula grants to entitlement and non-entitlement jurisdictions based on the formula prescribed
under federal law for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to be locally administered.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced the
availability of approximately $195 million in funding for the PLHA program in their Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA). This NOFA is funded from revenues deposited in the Building Homes and Jobs
Trust Fund in calendar year 2019.
PURPOSE
As an entitlement local government for PLHA funds for the Urban County, Contra Costa County will
receive an estimated 5-year allocation of $13,021,068. This document will provide a summary of
Contra Costa County’s Five-Year Plan and application to California HCD.
Eligible activities for the PLHA are limited to the following:
1. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of
multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to Extremely low-, Very
low-, Low-, or Moderate-income households, including necessary operating subsidies.
Extremely Low Income is household income at or below 30% of Area Median Income (AMI);
Very Low Income is at or below 50% AMI; Low Income is at or below 80% AMl and Moderate
Income is at or below 120% AMI. Income limits are adjusted for household size.
2. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of
affordable rental and ownership housing, including Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), that
meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120% of AMI. ADUs shall be available
for occupancy for a term of no less than thirty days.
3. Matching portions of funds placed into Local or Regional Housing Trust Funds.
4. Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset
Fund pursuant to subdivision (d) of HSC Section 34176.
5. Capitalized Reserves for services connected to the preservation and creation of new,
permanent supportive housing.
Draft Permanent Local Housing Allocation 5-Year Plan
6. Assisting persons who are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, including, but not limited
to, providing rapid re-housing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that
allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers
and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of
permanent and transitional housing.
7. Accessibility modifications in Lower-Income owner-occupied housing.
8. Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes and apartments.
9. Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance.
10. Fiscal incentives made by a county to a city within the county to incentivize approval of one
or more affordable housing projects, or matching funds invested by a county in an
affordable housing development project in a city within the county, provided that the city
has made an equal or greater investment in the project. The county fiscal incentives shall be
in the form of a grant or low-interest loan to an affordable housing project. Matching funds
investments by both the county and the city also shall be a grant or low interest deferred
loan to the affordable housing project.
Eligible activities must also be consistent and compliant with the County’s Adopted Housing
Element, and at least 20% of the allocation statewide must be used for Affordable Owner-Occupied
Workforce Housing (AOWH) defined as housing that is affordable to persons and families of low- or
moderate-income. Funds available for administrative expenses are limited to 5% of the allocation.
REQUIREMENTS
To participate in the formula allocation, Contra Costa County is required to develop a five-year plan
detailing the way allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION FORMULA ALLOCATION PLAN APPLICATION
§302(c)(4)(A) The manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities
Contra Costa County plans to use the funds for the predevelopment, development, acquisition,
rehabilitation, and preservation of housing that is affordable to Extremely Low-Income, Very Low-
Income, and Low-Income households (Activity 1).
PLHA assistance will be offered in the form of low-interest, deferred loans. The loans will be
evidenced through a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust, and a Regulatory Agreement will
restrict occupancy and rents for a term of at least 55 years.
§302(c)(4)(B) Description of the way the County will prioritize investments that increase the
supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60% Area Median Income (AMI)
PLHA funds will be made available to affordable housing developers through a competitive Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA) process, which the County has extensive experience in from many years
of successfully administering Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home
Draft Permanent Local Housing Allocation 5-Year Plan
Investment Partnership (HOME) funds for affordable housing. The PLHA funds will be added to the
annual NOFA cycle for the Federal housing funds. The NOFA will seek development proposals that
include new affordable housing units for households with incomes at or below 80% AMI, with
priority consideration given to projects with units serving 60% AMI and below. A mixed-income
project with some units at higher levels may be eligible, but awards will be based on number of units
at 80% AMI or lower.
The County has successfully leveraged HOME and CDBG funds to support affordable housing projects
that have been funded by tax credits and other state funds. This existing plan will be utilized for
administering PLHA funds as well. County housing staff is currently aware of potential projects in the
pipeline that may be eligible for PLHA funds and will be reviewing applications annually as part of
the NOFA process.
§302(c)(4)(C) Description of how the Plan is consistent with programs set forth in the County’s
Housing Element
Providing funds for affordable housing and assisting in new construction of affordable housing is one
of the key policies in the County’s Certified Housing Element.
The following sections of the County’s Certified Fifth Cycle Housing Element demonstrate that this
302(c)(4) Plan is consistent with the overall goals to increase the number and quality of affordable
housing in the area:
Housing Element Goal 1: Maintain and improve the quality of the existing housing stock and
residential neighborhoods in Contra Costa County.
Housing Element Goal 3: Increase the supply of housing with a priority on the development of
affordable housing, including housing affordable to extremely low-income households.
Housing Element Goal 4: Increase the supply of appropriate and supportive housing for special needs
populations.
ACTIVITIES DETAIL
§302(c)(4)(E)(i) Detailed and complete description of how allocated funds will be used for each
proposed Affordable Rental Housing Activity
The PLHA funds will be used for the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation,
and/or preservation of multifamily rental housing that is affordable to low-income persons earning
80% or less of the area median income (AMI). Funds will be structured as low-interest, deferred
loans to the sponsor of the project. The loans will be evidenced through a Promissory Note and
secured by a Deed of Trust and a Regulatory Agreement shall restrict occupancy and rents in
accordance with the PLHA-required term of 55 years.
§302(c)(4)(E)(iii) Description of major steps/actions and a proposed schedule for the
implementation and completion of the Activity
Draft Permanent Local Housing Allocation 5-Year Plan
The funds will be included in the County’s annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The County
has completed this process annually for many years, successfully awarding millions of dollars of
Federal HOME, CDBG, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding. The
2022-2023 NOFA will be released the week of October 7, 2021, and will be the first to include PLHA
funds (contingent upon a successful application). Year 1 and Year 2 funds will be included in the
funds awarded to applicants who meet the guidelines of the PLHA program.
Awards will be made in Spring 2022 for funds available July 1, 2022, subject to the State’s schedule.
Once the County is in contract with the State for the PLHA entitlement award, the funding awards
may be under contract within a year of award, and disbursement complete one year thereafter.
PROGRAM INCOME REUSE
Program income is defined as gross income received by the recipient or a subrecipient directly
generated from the use of PLHA funds, 4.3.2. Any program income received from activities in this
plan will first be utilized to deliver additional activities of the same type as defined by Section 2.5. If
future amended plans no longer support the allocation of funds to that activity, the project income
will be programmed according to the activity allocation in effect at that time. The County is
committed to following the Reuse Plan adopted by this policy and defined further in Attachment A.
ASSURANCES
The County will provide PLHA assistance in the form of deferred, low-interest loans to project
sponsors for use in the development of affordable rental housing. Regulatory Agreements and
Promissory Notes secured by Deeds of Trust against the property housing the development will
assure long-term affordability
REPORTING
Pursuant to HSC Section 504740(b)(2)(B)(ii)(lll), the County will provide an Annual Report
documenting the uses and expenditures of any awarded allocated every July 31 to the Department
of Housing and Community Development grant management division according to its specifications.

Subject:Hearing on the appeal of the Notices and Orders to Abate a public nuisance on the real property located at 4725 and
4835 Tranquility Bay, Knightsen
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
4. ORDER the property owners to abate the public nuisance by doing all of the following within thirty
(30) days of the mailing of the Board's decision:
a. Remove the hoophouse structures from the subject properties; and
b. Disconnect and remove the electrical system from the subject properties.
5. DIRECT the County Abatement Officer to remove the hoophouse structures, and disconnect and
remove the electrical system from the subject properties, and charge the cost of the work and all
administrative costs to the property owners, if the property owners do not comply with the Board's order
to abate the public nuisance.
6. DIRECT the County Abatement Officer to send the Board's decision by first-class mail to the
property owners and to each party appearing at this hearing, and to file the Board's decision with the
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
FISCAL IMPACT:

electrical system from the subject properties to be approximately $10,000 to $15,000 per parcel. If the
County Abatement Officer performs the work of abatement and the property owners do not pay, the
actual cost of the work and all administrative costs will be imposed as a lien on the properties after
notice and a hearing, and may be collected in an assessment against the properties.
BACKGROUND:
1. The real property located at 4725 Tranquility Bay, Knightsen, California in Contra Costa County;
APN 023-070-017 is owned by U.S. God's Dragan Management, Inc. The real property located at 4835
Tranquility Bay, Knightsen, California in Contra Costa County; APN 023-070-018 is owned by Enquan
He.
2. The above-referenced properties are contiguous. Each property is split-zoned, with a portion of each
property located in a general agricultural (A-2) zoning district and the remaining portion of each
property located in a heavy agricultural (A-3) zoning district.
3. Contra Costa County Ordinance Code section 72-6.202 and California Building Code section 105.1
prohibit the erection, construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, movement, improvement,
removement, conversion, or demolition of any building or structure regulated by Title 7 of the County
Ordinance Code, or the performance of any work regulated by Title 7 of the County Ordinance Code
without the necessary permits from the County building official.
4. Contra Costa County Ordinance Code sections 74.2.002 and California Building Code section 111.1
prohibit occupancy of a building until a final inspection is made and the building official issues a
certificate of occupancy.
5. Contra Costa County Ordinance Code sections 72-6.202 and 76-2.002 and California Building Code
sections 105.1 and 112.1 prohibit making connections from a utility, source of energy, fuel, or power to
any building or system for which a permit is required until approved by the building official.
6. Contra Costa County Ordinance Code section 76-4.602 prohibits connecting a source of electrical
energy or supplying electric service to any electrical equipment for which a permit is required without
first obtaining the County building official's written authorization.
7. Contra Costa County Ordinance Code section 76-4.608(a) requires all occupancies that have
commercially supplied electricity to connect to the commercial supplier. Section 76-4.608(b) prohibits
any occupancy that has commercially supplied electricity from using a permanent or temporary
generator, except when authorized by the County building official.
8. Contra Costa County Ordinance Code section 76-4.612 requires lighting fixtures to be installed,
controlled, or directed so that light will not glare on adjoining property.
9. Based on complaints from the public, County staff made an initial inspection of the above-referenced
properties on November 30, 2020. County staff observed the construction of hoophouse structures
greater than 120 square feet in size without required permits, in violation of Contra Costa County
Ordinance Code section 72-6.202 and California Building Code section 105.1. County staff observed
that occupancy of the hoophouse structures had occurred without an approved final inspection or
issuance of a certificate of occupancy in violation of Contra Costa County Ordinance code section
74-2.002 and California Building Code section 111.1. County staff observed that an extensive electrical
system consisting of generators, extension cords, and lighting fixtures use to light the hoophouse
structures had been installed without the necessary permits, was not using commercially supplied
electricity, and was in use without authorization from the County building official in violation of Contra
Costa County Ordinance Code sections 72-6.202, 76-2.002, 76-4.602, and 76-4.608, and California
Building Code Sections 105.1 and 112.1.
10. County staff observed what appeared to be a single industrial hemp cultivation operation occurring
across both properties, including a single entry point providing access to both properties. Approximately
168 hoophouse structures have been constructed on APN 023-070-017. Approximately 142 hoophouse
structures have been constructed on APN 023-070-108. County staff observed the electrical system
installed to provide lighting to the hoophouse structures on both properties.
11. Inspection of County files related to the above-referenced properties revealed that no building permit
was issued for either property for the construction of the hoophouse structures or installation of the
electrical system.
12. Re-inspection of the properties on December 7, 2020, January 6, 2021, January 20, 2021, February 3,
2021, March 9, 2021, and May 24, 2021 showed that the properties continued to be in violation of
Contra Contra County Ordinance Code sections 72-6.202, 74-2.002, 76-2.002, 76-4.602, and 76-4.608,
and California Building Code sections 105.1, 111.1, and 112.1. Based on complaints and evidence
submitted by neighboring property owners, County staff also determined that lighting fixtures within the
hoophouse structures resulted in light glaring onto adjoining properties in violation of Contra Costa
County Ordinance Code section 76-4.612. See Attachment A for the chronology of events and site
inspections at the properties.
13. The Notices and Orders to Abate were served on the respective property owners by certified mail on
May 24, 2021, and posted on the above-referenced properties on May 24, 2021.
14. A representative of the property owners file an Appeal of Notice and Order to Abate on May 25,
2021.
15. The Appeal contends that the property owners (U.S. God's Dragan Management, Inc., and Enquan
He) leased the properties to other parties in September 2020 and that under the lease agreement, the
property owners are not responsible for any operations conducted on the properties. However, the
property owners are responsible for code violations on their property, notwithstanding any lease they
may have. As described herein, County staff has observed violations of the County Ordinance Code and
California Building Code on the subject properties. Under the County Ordinance Code, the County
abatement officer may declare and abate these violations as public nuisances upon notice to the property
owner. County staff properly serviced the Notices and Orders to Abate on the respective property
owners by mail and physically posted the Notices and Orders to Abate at the properties in accordance
with County Ordinance Code section 14-6.412.
16. The Appeal also contends that the lessees of the subject properties have obtained licenses to plant
industrial hemp and have applied for building permits for the hoophouses, but that those building permit
applications have not been processed. Inspection of county files related to the subject properties
revealed that there are no pending building permit applications for the properties. On November 17,
2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted an urgency ordinance to establish a moratorium on industrial
hemp cultivation and processing that also prohibited the issuance of building permits for hoophouses or
any other structures used or intended to be used for industrial hemp cultivation or processing. Even if a
building permit application had been submitted, a building permit for the hoophouse structures on the
subject properties, which are currently being used for industrial hemp cultivation, could not have been
issued during the moratorium.
17. The current State hemp registration associated with the subject properties will expire on September
22, 2021. Under the County’s Industrial Hemp Cultivation Ordinance, the registration cannot be
renewed because outdoor cultivation of industrial hemp, including cultivation within a hoophouse
structure, is not permitted on the subject properties.
18. Re-inspection of the properties on August 30, 2021 showed no change in the conditions, including
the continued nighttime light glare from operations on the subject properties, and that the properties
continued to be in violation of Contra Costa County Ordinance Code sections 72-6.202, 74-2.002,
76-2.002, 76-4.602, 76-4.608, and 76-4.612, and California Building Code sections 105.1, 111.1, and
112.1.
19. Notice of this appeal hearing was sent to the representative and property owners by the Clerk of the
Board by certified mail and e-mail on September 10, 2021. Notice was also mailed to the tenants named
in the appeal letter.

Covid Update Report
D.4 09-21-2021
Anna Roth, Contra Costa Health Services Director
Covid-19 has continued to devastate the world, our country and our county. According to data compiled by
Johns Hopkins university as of September 20, 2021 more than 675,000 people in the United States have died
from Covid-19, with the current rising rate of an average of more than 1900 fatalities a day. What that means is
that Covid-19 is now the deadliest pandemic in U.S. history, exceeding the death toll of the 1918 influenza
pandemic known as the Spanish flu. Last week we also passed a grand milestone where data was released
that 1 in 500 Americans have now died from the virus. At this time in Contra Costa County there are 135 people
hospitalized with Covid-19, with 54 of those in the critical care units. While the peak of the summer long surge
seems to have passed the county's daily case rate remains as high as it was in February.
Throughout this pandemic Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) has used every tool available to help save
lives. That includes a team of seasoned health professionals scanning all available science and evidence as it
has grown and evolved in regard to a novel virus. CCHS health officers are a team of health physicians and
professionals that work together as well as a number of seasoned public health professionals with years of
experience who are reviewing information daily, to ensure our guidance is based on science and importantly, it's
up to date. The team of at CCHS have been hard at work ensuring that the information on cchealth.org is
reliable and based on known science.
It is known that wearing masks, social distancing, a variety of protective measures are really important.
It is also known layering this with vaccination, contact tracing, good indoor ventilation and moving as many
activities as we can outdoors is the safest possible way forward. It is known that the vaccine remains the best
and most powerful tool of protection against Covid-19.
The majority of people who are hospitalized and/or die from Covid-19 in our county are the unvaccinated.
Since December 15th the unvaccinated residents have accounted for 95.4% of the county's deaths. September
20th, CCHS added a new online dashboard that displays the rate of the daily hospitalizations per 100,000 people
due to Covid-19, for both vaccinated and unvaccinated. 80% of all Covid-19 hospitalizations are among the
unvaccinated.
Since July 1st, in the 18 to 65 age group, 86% of our hospitalizations have been in that group have been in the
unvaccinated. And since July 1st, 86% of the deaths in the 18 to 65 group have been unvaccinated.
Unvaccinated people are on average 13 years younger than vaccinated people that are dying. Local hospital
data continues to show that getting vaccinated is the most powerful step that we can take and can reduce our
risk of acquiring and having a bad outcome from Covid-19.
Erika Jensen, CCHS Deputy Health Director.
Every public health measure known has been implemented in the fight against Covid-19, including education
about the science of Covid-19, how it's transmitted, directing people to stay at home through health orders,
isolation and quarantine, contact-tracing, travel restrictions, masking and testing.
Even with all of those public health measures there have been and still are people very sick and dying,
particularly hardest hit being elder adults.
The first vaccine in the western world was introduced in 1796 by Edward Jenner. The smallpox vaccine was
distributed in the continental army with General Washington. Smallpox was a deadly disease for thousands of
Covid 19 Update D.4 09-21-2021
years, responsible for 300 to 500 million deaths. By using public health measures, we as humans have
eliminated smallpox and it no longer causes any disease or deaths anywhere on our planet.
This was only because of vaccines.
In March 2020, Ms. Jensen oversaw and coordinated the response to the first outbreak of Covid in a care facility
in Orinda. There was no vaccine. It was not possible to prevent multiple deaths in that facility or other care
facilities in the county. Even though weekly and on-demand testing were available for both the residents and
workers. These were heartbreaking and tragic and incredibly scary times, for residents, for family members, for
staff in the facilities, and for the health department staff.
When the vaccine came CCHS offered vaccines to the first responders, law enforcement and firefighters as well
as emergency medical personnel and health care professionals before the general public as they recognized the
importance of these staff, in character for the County as well as their increased risk given their professions.
The other tool that CCHS has is a vaccine mandate. In the early 1900s, the first mandate was in Boston.
They became more widespread in the early 1900s and in 1905 the Supreme Court upheld vaccine mandates to
keep up the health of the community. Most people are familiar with the mandated vaccines required to attend
school. Many essential workers in the health and education fields are familiar with vaccine requirements that
are designed to protect them as well as the public such as hepatitis b, measles and influenza.
In 2016, the California legislature eliminated the ability to exempt children from the vaccine requirements
because their family claimed a personal belief exemption. The only way children can go to school in California is
either they are advance necessitated or they have an approved medical exemption.
This is to protect themselves and everyone else because vaccine mandates save lives.
Listening to the experts about what to do during an emergency is truly a matter of life and death.
We know this information they share with us is based on the information they have and based on their expertise
and training. Misinformation is dangerous and costs lives.

It is clear now that the delta variant is very deadly and that if the delta variant had arrived before we had
vaccines widely available, many, many more people would have died, than have. The delta variant is more
contagious and it's more deadly. And the delta variant is quietly circulating in Contra Costa County
When the state blueprint was lifted in June 2021, the state mask requirements were lifted we found that the
vaccination level of our community was not high enough to prevent this deadly summer surge of the Delta
variant. Though progressing better than many parts of the country, we have not gotten all of our residents
vaccinated.
One of the biggest challenges we're facing in stopping this coronavirus is the widespread misinformation about
the Covid-19 vaccines. It's permeating our social media feeds, it's permeating our communities and
unnecessarily taking lives with it. It is clear that vaccination against Covid-19 is far and away the most effective
means of preventing infection with the Covid-19 virus. The vaccines reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection by 70
to 95%. They reduce the risk of hospitalization by over 90%. And they reduce the risk of dying from Covid by
over 90%. Additionally the vaccinations also appear to reduce the chance of spreading Covid from a vaccinated
person who does unfortunately get infected. They are less likely the spread the infection by 40 to 60% by most
estimates. Not only does this vaccine protect the person but other people they may come into contact with.
The mRna technique that's used in both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines has been studied by hundreds of
researchers over decades. It’s been studied for developing vaccines for rabies, flu, SARS 1 and other is
Covid 19 Update D.4 09-21-2021
diseases. The first animal trial for an mRna trial was done in the 1990s and the first human clinical trials were
started in 2013. here is a lot of scientific experience with these vaccines.
These vaccines do not change a persons DNA and the mRna in the vaccine leaves the body after a few days.
They are very, very safe. There are very rare risks of these vaccines. Those risks are minuscule in comparison
to the risk of the Covid virus itself.
The instance of blood clots occurring after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is estimated to be about seven
cases in one million vaccinated women between the ages of 18 and 49 years old. These blood clots are even
rarer in older women and even rarer in men. Note three people did die from these blood clots before the use of
this vaccine was paused for the CDC to better understand the issue and communicate to doctors how best to
treat these blood clots. With those better treatment protocols, any future occurances of this rare side effect can
be prevented and in fact there have been no further confirmed deaths related to the vaccine since the because
was lifted. There is no evidence at all that any of the Covid vaccines have contributed to any other Covid deaths
from whatever cause. The Covid infection from the virus actually causes many more blood clots in patients than
vaccine does.
There were reports of heart problems that are related to the mRna vaccine called myocarditis. The highest risk
seems to be in young males that have been vaccinated with either Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
These cases have been mild and self-effective in a matter of a few days.
About about 20 to 30% of patients hospitalized with Covid show heart problems and the chance of becoming
severely ill after Covid infection is much, much higher for all age groups, in fact the hospitalization risk for a
young boy or man related to Covid, a quarter of those young men and teenage boys wind up in the ICU and
about one in 150 hospitalized young men who are hospitalized with Covid end up dying.
There have been estimated that over 33,000 deaths in children are prevented every single year by just our
routine childhood vaccinations that probably all of us have received when we were kids. However, there are still
approximately 300 deaths a year in children from these same diseases in children who are either unvaccinated
or incompletely vaccinated.
Covid-19 is even bigger threat to children's health than all of these other vaccine preventable diseases
combined, polio, measles, chicken pox, meningitis, because of the low vaccination rates against Covid in our
teens and the lack of an authorized vaccine at this point for children under 12. Our teenagers and our children
are at much greater risk for Covid-19 than they are for all these other childhood vaccinations that we just get
routinely without too much concern. Since the pandemic began last spring and as of September 15th of this
year there have been 516 Covid deaths in children across the United States. That is more than the estimated
number of deaths from all these other vaccine preventible diseases in children in the same time period. Even
though children are less risk than adults, Covid is still the biggest infectious disease risk in children that exists in
this country today.
There are claims that link the Covid vaccine to infertility and pregnancy. There is no information to support that.
The American Medical Association recommends vaccination for all young women who are considering a future
pregnancy. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology strongly recommends all pregnant women to
receive the vaccine.
There are several drugs that are talked about for treatment or prevention of Covid-19 which have shown to be
completely ineffective in treating or preventing Covid-19. That includes hydroxychloroquine, et cetera, i strongly
recommend people not use these treatments for either preventing or treating Covid-19.
The other issue is long Covid where people have suffered for months or longer with brain fog, breathing
difficulties, fatigue, other symptoms that can go on after someone's recovered from an acute Covid infection.
Covid 19 Update D.4 09-21-2021
One survey showed that one in five Covid-19 survivors reported having persistent symptoms, getting Covid, you
know even if you survive it, even if you don't get hospitalized, it can still lead to severe symptoms, that can go on
for a long period of time.
Comparing Covid to other diseases, in a typical flu year we see about zero to one flu flu deaths a week in
Contra Costa County. If you add in all the deaths from pneumonia in Contra Costa County from all causes we
might see two or three deaths a week from all causes of pneumonia. We have been seeing 15 to 20 Covid
deaths reported a week for the past four weeks. And almost all of those the deaths could have been prevented
if those individuals had been vaccinated prior do getting sick.
Sergio Urcuyo, M.D, Family Medicine Specialist
.
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) is approaching the end of the fourth wave of Covid infections
at the facility. The staff has done a marvelous job of protecting the sick and they are tired. Contra Costa has
been in the state of semi-emergency. This last wave has been different in some ways better, in many worse.
It's been different because staff know what to do, know how to diagnose, know how to treat in ways that they
didn't when this hit the scene in March of 2020. They are all more exhausted this time around, because the
sick patients in the hospital have been unvaccinated. It feels almost universal on the medical wards. They
watch patients suffer and die all the while knowing we have a tool that can prevent it. This is a different brand of
fatigue than it was for the first few waves and it crushes deeper than the fatigue from a lack of sleep.
Unlike earlier waves, people are now questioning why they make the sacrifices they do. This is new.
This is a different sort of fatigue. Different kind of exhaustion that the staff is feeling. CCRMC is often asked to
take Covid-19 patient transfers from other counties that are overwhelmed. Particularly in central California
where there are no beds left. Our infrastructure has been okay, and one of the reasons it has been okay is
because we are one of the fortunate counties. In terms of hospitalizations. And that's in large part thought to be
due to our overall high vaccination rate. Yet the transfer system is still impacted now. There are delays in
transferring patients for a lack of staffed beds. The lack of staffed beds across the region has left transfers
delayed, and left patients in the lurch in ways that they should not be and frankly that they wouldn't be if
vaccinations were universally taken by everybody. Vaccines are the key to having staffed beds and that staffed
bed is the critical shared resource for the region and for the state. And that's the pivotal piece here in terms of
vaccinating our staff members.
Supervisor Andersen noted that with hospitalizations, case numbers have been declining for past three weeks.
Contra Costa's demographics are a little bit different than San Francisco or Berkeley. We don't have a major
city center universally, so she would like to know why did we go out on our own with implementing vaccine
verifications, for restaurants and bars.
San Francisco and Berkeley did put similar restrictions in place for vaccine verification, for restaurants, bars and
gyms. As did Los Angeles and Palm Springs. There is not always full consensus across the Bay Area with
every one of the 11 counties. But CCHS felt this was really important.
Covid cases are high, the hospitals were really stressed, the school systems were really stressed, too.
The schools are struggling to open up in the midst of a surge for full in-person learning. Many children are
needing to quarantine and isolate, some classrooms have had to close. So there was an urgency of getting
these cases down and get them down quickly to allow kids to stay in school and not have them go back to
remote learning like they did last year. And the need to prevent future surges, too. After every holiday there
was an increase in cases.
When this order was launched we hadn't seen the effect yet of labor day weekend. There was a slight bump in
cases among the unvaccinated population. Fortunately it was a small uptick and hopefully we can start seeing
Covid 19 Update D.4 09-21-2021
the numbers decrease again. But the fall and winter holidays are coming up. People will be moving more
indoors and we don't want to see another fall or winter wave.
So we need to get the cases down now. We need to help keep them from going up in the near future.
We know that these venues are high risk for transmission. There was one study that estimated at one point,
10% of transmission was related to public venues. And we know also that there is a lot of the community that
doesn't feel safe going to an indoor restaurant or an indoor gym when there is other people there who may be
unvaccinated. We've seen this across the nation that when Covid cases surge, people tend to not go out as
much. They tend not to go out to restaurants. Those businesses actually suffer and that's independent of
whether there's been a local or state restriction on those businesses. People decide on their own to avoid these
high risk businesses. Hopefully by putting these requirements to either show your vaccination or recent
negative test, people will feel more confident dining at an indoor restaurant or going to an indoor bar or indoor
gym and it may actually drive traffic to those businesses.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/293 approving and authorizing the County Administrator, or designee, to
enter into an agreement with the California Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency for
administration of the County's allocation of federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program 2 funds.
2. AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to sign a letter in support of a reallocation of unused
federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program 1 funds by the U.S. Treasury from jurisdictions outside of
California to the State of California, including for the benefit of Contra Costa County as an Option A
partner in the State Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
3. RECEIVE an update on AB 832 statewide eviction protections in place effective October 1, 2021
through March 31, 2022 following the scheduled expiration of the statewide eviction moratorium on
September 30, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$71,605,012, 100% Federal. $38,941,950 from a Federal direct allocation to the County and $32,663,061
from a State subrecipient allocation to the County. Both sources funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.
As a part of today's recommendation, the County's Federal direction allocation of ERAP 2 funds would be
transferred to the State as was done with the ERAP 1 Federal direct allocation CFDA No. 21.023.

Subject:UPDATE ON EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND EVICTION PROTECTIONS
ESTABLISHED BY AB 832 (CHAPTER 27, STATUTES OF 2021)
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
Cumulatively, the County will have been allocated a total of $147,427,324; $75,822,311 from ERAP 1
together with $71,605,012 (outlined above) from ERAP 2 to provide rental and utility assistance to
County residents.
BACKGROUND:
Emergency Rental Assistance Program History
The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) makes funding available to assist households that
are unable to pay rent or utilities. Two separate programs have been funded by the Federal government
to support this endeavor: ERAP 1 provides up to $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2021, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, and ERAP 2 provides up to $21.55 billion under the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 11, 2021. The funds are provided
directly to states, U.S. territories, local governments, and (in the case of ERAP 1) Tribes. Grantees use
the funds to provide assistance to eligible households through existing or newly created rental assistance
programs.
In Contra Costa County, the combined share of ERAP 1 and ERAP 2 allocations is $147,427,324
($75,822,312 from ERAP 1 and $71,605,012 from ERAP 2). Note that both figures include a state
allocation to the County in addition to the federal direct allocation. ERAP 1 funds must be spent by
September 30, 2022 and ERAP 2 funding must be spent by September 30, 2025.
On February 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors selected Option A pursuant to SB 91, allowing the State
to implement the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) 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 program opened to the public, including a multilingual website
(housingiskey.com) and toll-free hotline (1-833-430-2122). 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.
On March 23, 2021, the Board authorized additional funding in the amount of $514,000 to further
supplement outreach to residents throughout the County and to establish a Housing Stablility Service
program, as follows:
$313,320 - Community Outreach & Engagement (Administered by Richmond Community Foundation)
$75,000 - Local Housing Stability Services (Bay Area Legal Aid administered by Richmond Community
Foundation)
$50,000 - 211 for Rental Assistance Navigation (Contra Costa Crisis Center)
$20,000 - Emergent Needs (Administered by Richmond Community Foundation)
$55,680 - Fiscal/Administrative Fee Allowance (Richmond Community Foundation)
______________________________________
$514,000 Total
The above services are funded through December 31, 2021, with the exception of the allocation to the
Contra Costa Crisis Center for 211 services, which is through September 30, 2021.
Contra Costa County ERAP 2 Allocation
The U.S. Treasury notified eligible jurisdictions that the grant awards portal was open on Tuesday, May
4, 2021 with a due date on Monday, May 10, 2021 and concurrently released updated Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs) integrating the unique eligibility requirements contained in ERA2 with those already
in place for ERAP 1. The County Administrator timely filed the grant application on Friday, May 7,
2021 as requested by the U.S. Treasury to qualify for funding. On May 18, 2021, the Board ratified
action taken by the County Administrator to apply for the ERAP 2 allocation and the County received a
40% advance of it's federal direct allocation in the amount of $15,576,780 on May 27, 2021. The
remainder of funds are to be allocated to jurisdictions once each jurisdiction has obligated 75% of the
initial allocation.
On July 13, 2021, following the passage of AB 832, the California Department of Housing and
Community Development issued a letter to local government agencies outlining options for participation
in the State ERAP program using the ERAP 2 allocations issued by the U.S. Treasury. The state
requested a of intention no later than July 27, 2021. On July 27, 2021, the County Administrator's Office
responded to the State communicating an intention to continue participating as an Option A partner
contingent on approval by the Board of Supervisors. Based on the responses to the State, several
jurisdictions that had initially decided to run local programs with ERAP 1 funding have now decided to
migrate to the State program for ERAP 2. Most notably, the counties of San Francisco, San Joaquin,
Orange, Placer, Merced, Stanislaus and the cities of Los Angeles, Irvine, Modesto and Santa Clarita.
On September 13, 2021, the State distributed a draft Resolution to localities electing to continue
participation as an Option A partner in the State program, which has been incorporated into this agenda
item for consideration by the Board.
Today's action requests the the Board again opt-in to participation in the statewide rental assistance
program for the ERAP 2 allocation and transfer the County ERAP 2 federal direct allocation back to the
U.S. Treasury for reallocation to the State for the benefit of County residents. The U.S. Treasury has
released instructions specifically to accommodate situations such as this. In addition, staff has included a
recommendation to authorize the Chair of the Board to sign a letter in support of the U.S. Treasury
potentially reallocating ERAP 1 allocations previously unused by September 30, 2021 from jurisdictions
outside of California to the State of California for the direct benefit of California residents, including
those within Contra Costa County. Staff will include additional context on this during today's
presentation.
Finally, staff will provide an update on eviction protections that will take effect beginning on October 1,
2021 through March 31, 2022 pursuant to AB 832. This presentation will dovetail into the Board's
subsequent discussion item from the County Counsel's Office related to County eviction moratoria.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not have a formal resolution authorizing the transfer of the Federal ERA2 direct
The County will not have a formal resolution authorizing the transfer of the Federal ERA2 direct
allocation and entering into an agreement for administration of the ERA2 allocation by the State on the
County's behalf. The resolution, transfer and execution of the agreement are necessary to continue
providing access to the ERAP program for the benefit of County residents.

the SRA2 Funds to Locality (this amount, and any and all additional tranches thereof, the Locality’s “Proportionate SRA2
Share”).
WHEREAS, Locality intends and agrees that the Department will (1) receive and administer the Locality’s ERA2 Allocation for
and on behalf of Locality; and (2) administer the Locality’s Proportionate SRA2 Share.
WHEREAS, the Department will administer the Locality’s ERA2 Allocation and Proportionate SRA2 Share pursuant to Health
and Safety Code section 50897.3.1, subdivision (b)(3).Furthermore, in accordance with Section 3201(d)(1)(C) of ARPA, the
Department will use ERA2 funds to provide Locality with a grant, which Locality shall use to pay any costs it incurs, beginning
on March 11, 2021, to support and benefit the State Rental Assistance Program – Round 2 (such costs, the Locality’s “
Supplemental Administrative Costs”).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa:
1. Locality is hereby authorized and directed to make any necessary arrangements to effectuate the Department’s receipt of
Locality’s ERA2 Allocation for the purpose of administering it for and on behalf of Locality.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER whether to adopt Ordinance No. 2021-32, an urgency ordinance continuing a temporary
prohibition on certain evictions of residential tenants, and related matters.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The County's existing urgency ordinance, Ordinance No. 2021-20, which continued a temporary prohibition
on certain evictions of residential tenants and small-business commercial tenants impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, is set to expire on September 30, 2021. The Board may wish to consider allowing the
current ordinance to expire on its own terms on September 30, or could adopt the attached urgency
ordinance.
If adopted, the attached urgency ordinance would continue the County's existing residential eviction
protections. This ordinance would continue a temporary prohibition on no-fault evictions of residential
tenants, and would continue a temporary prohibition on evicting tenants for allowing an unauthorized tenant
to live in the dwelling unit if the unauthorized tenant is an immediate family member living in the unit
because of the pandemic.

Subject:Urgency ordinance continuing certain residential eviction prohibitions
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The attached urgency ordinance specifies that these restrictions would last through a date to be
determined by the Board.
Prohibition on Residential Evictions
The COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020 (the Act), is a state law (Assembly Bill 3088, Senate Bill 91,
and Assembly Bill 832), that provides eviction protections for residential tenants, including mobilehome
tenants, who are experiencing a financial hardship related to COVID-19. The Act prohibits residential
tenants from being evicted for failure to pay rent because of a COVID-19-related hardship, as long as the
tenant provides the landlord with a written declaration of hardship. Under the Act, residential tenants
who experienced a new COVID-19-related hardship between September 1, 2020, and September 30,
2021, are also protected from eviction through this date as long as they pay 25 percent of the rent due by
September 30, 2021.
As amended by AB 823, the Act also establishes requirements to ensure that before a court orders the
eviction of a residential tenant on the basis of nonpayment of rent, an attempt is made to secure rental
assistance funds to cover the unpaid amount. Under the Act, from October 1, 2021, through March 31,
2022, a court may not issue a summons in an unlawful detainer case based on nonpayment of rental debt
that accumulated due to COVID hardship unless the landlord can show that they applied for rental
assistance and the application was denied. This requirement does not apply to new tenancies created
after October 1, 2021. If a landlord does not make this showing within 60 days, the court must dismiss
the case. Also, starting October 1, 2021, a tenant in an unlawful detainer case who has an approved
rental assistance application can ask the court to stop the eviction until the funding is received. The case
will be dismissed if that payment resolves the unpaid rent that is the basis of the unlawful detainer.
The Act also authorizes local jurisdictions to amend existing urgency ordinances to continue prohibitions
on certain types of residential evictions, including no-fault evictions. (Code of Civil Procedure, §
1179.05(b).) As authorized by the Act, the attached urgency ordinance continues the County's existing
prohibition on certain residential evictions. These regulations were contained in Ordinance No. 2021-20.
The attached ordinance would prohibit a landlord from terminating a residential tenancy for a "no-fault"
reason; prohibit a landlord from terminating a residential tenancy on the basis that a tenant allowed an
unauthorized occupant to live in the dwelling unit, if the occupant is the tenant's immediate family
member living in the dwelling unit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and prohibit a landlord from
increasing rent on a residential real property. These restrictions would last through the date determined
by the Board.
The attached ordinance would not continue the existing prohibition on small-business commercial
evictions. The Governor's Executive Order N-08-21 authorized local jurisdictions to suspend, through
September 30, 2021, the evictions of commercial tenants for the nonpayment of rent if the nonpayment
was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The County's existing prohibition expires September 30, 2021.
As of the date of this Board Order, no Executive Order has been issued that would extend beyond
September 30, 2021, the authority of local jurisdictions to suspend commercial evictions. If a new
Executive Order is issued, the Board could then consider whether to adopt a new ordinance suspending
the evictions of small-business commercial tenants for the nonpayment of rent, if the nonpayment was a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The attached ordinance would not continue the County's existing moratorium on residential rent
increases past September 30, 2021. Under the state's "Housing Is Key" rent relief program, qualifying
landlords and renters are eligible for 100% of rent and utilities owed. Additional information and
application forms are available at: https://housing.ca.gov. At the Board's discretion, the Board could
choose to extend the County's existing moratorium on residential rent increases.
Applicability
The regulations in the attached ordinance apply to cities within Contra Costa County and unincorporated
Contra Costa County. Government Code section 8634 authorizes the Board of Supervisors to
"promulgate countywide orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and
property" during a local emergency. The California Attorney General has opined that when a county has
declared a local emergency within its jurisdictional boundaries in an area that includes both
unincorporated and incorporated territory, the county may adopt emergency rules and regulations
pursuant to Government Code section 8634 that will be effective in both unincorporated and
incorporated areas. (62 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 701 (1979).) Under the ordinance, if the governing body
enacts an ordinance or adopts a regulation that governs the subject matter of this ordinance, that city
ordinance or regulation will supersede the attached ordinance within that jurisdiction.
At the Board's discretion, the Board could choose to have the ordinance apply only in the unincorporated
areas of Contra Costa County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
The ordinance was not adopted.

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE CONTINUING A TEMPORARY PROHIBITION ON
CERTAIN EVICTIONS OF RESIDENTIAL TENANTS IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as follows:
Section 1. Findings.
A. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel
coronavirus that causes the disease named coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), a
public health emergency of international concern.
B. On January 31, 2020, as the result of confirmed cases of COVID-19, the U.S. Secretary
of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency nationwide.
C. On March 3, 2020, Contra Costa Health Services announced the first case of local
transmission of the virus causing COVID-19 in Contra Costa County.
D. On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed the existence of a state of
emergency in California under the California Emergency Services Act, Gov. Code § 8550
et seq.
E. On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors found that due to the introduction of
COVID-19 in the County, conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons
and property had arisen, commencing on March 3, 2020. Based on these conditions,
pursuant to Government Code section 8630, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2020/92,
proclaiming the existence of a local emergency throughout the County.
F. The legislative bodies of a number of cities in Contra Costa County also adopted local
emergency proclamations due to COVID-19 pursuant to Government Code section 8630.
G. On March 16, 2020, the County Health Officer issued an order requiring County
residents to shelter at their places of residence in order to slow community transmission
of COVID-19, subject to exceptions for the provision and receipt of essential services
while complying with social distancing requirements to the maximum extent possible.
The County Health Officer extended the order on March 31, 2020, and on April 29, 2020.
H. On May 18, 2020, the County Health Officer extended the shelter-in-place order,
continuing restrictions on many activity, travel, and business functions but allowing a
limited number of additional businesses to resume operating. On June 2, June 5, and
June 16, 2020, the County Health Officer issued orders allowing additional businesses to
resume operating. On July 11, 2020, in response to an increase in community
transmission and illness caused by the virus that causes COVID-19, the County Health
Officer issued an order amending the June 16, 2020, order, increasing the restrictions on
certain business and activities presenting a high risk for disease transmission.
ORDINANCE NO. 2021-32
Page 2
I. On August 26, 2020, September 4, 2020, and September 14, 2020, the County Health
Officer issued orders allowing a limited number of additional businesses to resume
operating. The County Health Officer issued orders amending the September 14, 2020,
order on October 27, 2020, and November 4, 2020. The State implemented its Regional
Stay at Home Order on December 17, 2020, and lifted the order on January 25, 2021.
J. On June 15, 2021, the State of California eliminated its Blueprint for a Safer Economy, a
COVID-19 recovery plan that reopened sectors of the economy and loosed restrictions on
gatherings under a series of tiers based on case and testing positivity rates and other
factors.
K. On March 16, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-28-20, which authorized
local jurisdictions to suspend the evictions of residential and commercial tenants for the
non-payment of rent if the non-payment was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
L. On June 30, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-71-20, which extended the
authority of local jurisdictions to suspend the evictions of residential and commercial
tenants for the non-payment of rent if the non-payment was a result of the COVID-19
pandemic through September 30, 2020.
M. On April 6, 2020, the Judicial Council of California adopted Emergency Rule 1,
effectively suspending action on or entry of default in eviction cases, and suspending
judicial foreclosures, except where necessary to protect public health and safety.
N. On April 21, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2020-14, an urgency
ordinance temporarily prohibiting evictions of residential and commercial real property
tenants in the County impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and establishing a
moratorium on certain rent increases.
O. On May 26, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2020-16, an urgency
ordinance continuing and modifying a temporary prohibition on evictions of tenants in
Contra Costa County impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and continuing and
modifying a residential rent increase moratorium.
P. On July 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2020-20, an urgency
ordinance continuing a temporary prohibition on evictions of residential and certain
commercial real property tenants in Contra Costa County impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic, and continuing a moratorium on certain residential rent increases.
Q. The Judicial Council voted on August 14, 2020, to terminate the eviction protections in
its Emergency Rule 1. This rule terminated September 1, 2020.
R. On August 31, 2020, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 3088, the COVID-19 Tenant
Relief Act of 2020 (the Act). The Act established statewide eviction protections for
residential tenants, including mobilehome tenants, who are experiencing a financial
hardship related to COVID-19. The Act was amended by Senate Bill 91 on January 29,
2021, and by Assembly Bill 832 on June 28, 2021.
ORDINANCE NO. 2021-32
Page 3
S. The Act prohibits residential tenants from being evicted for failure to pay rent because of
a COVID-19-related hardship occurring between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020, as
long as the tenant provides the landlord with a written declaration of hardship.
Residential tenants who experienced a new COVID-19-related hardship between
September 1, 2020, and January 31, 2021, and were served with an eviction notice before
February 1, 2021, are also protected from eviction as long as they pay 25 percent of the
rent due by January 31, 2021. Residential tenants who experienced a new COVID-19-
related hardship between September 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021, and were served
with an eviction notice on or after February 1, 2021, are also protected from eviction as
long as they pay 25 percent of the rent due by September 30, 2021.
T. In addition, under the Act, as amended by Assembly Bill 832, from October 1, 2021,
through March 31, 2022, a court may not issue a summons in an unlawful detainer case
based on nonpayment of rental debt that accumulated due to COVID hardship unless the
landlord can show that they applied for rental assistance and the application was denied.
This requirement does not apply to new tenancies created after October 1, 2021. If a
landlord does not make this showing within 60 days, the court must dismiss the case.
Also, starting October 1, 2021, a tenant in an unlawful detainer case who has an approved
rental assistance application can ask the court to stop the eviction until the funding is
received. The case will be dismissed if that payment resolves the unpaid rent that is the
basis of the unlawful detainer.
U. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated state and local public health orders resulted and
continue to result in a loss of income to a widespread portion of the local population that
depend on wages or business income, hindering their ability to pay rent and leaving them
vulnerable to eviction, and in higher medical expenses for certain Contra Costa County
residents.
V. Contra Costa County and the cities within the County are also experiencing a housing
affordability crisis, which is driving homelessness and displacement of residents.
W. Many of the County’s renters are rent-burdened, paying over 30 percent of their income
on rent, and some renters are severely rent-burdened, paying over 50 percent of their
income on rent, which leaves less money for families to spend on other necessities like
food, healthcare, transportation, and education.
X. Housing displacement due to evictions occurring during the local emergency could lead
to increased spread of COVID-19, including new variants of the virus, overburdening the
healthcare delivery system and potentially resulting in greater loss of life.
Y. There is an urgent need for the County to continue a temporary prohibition on certain
residential evictions to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents in light of
the emergency declared regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Z. The Act authorizes local jurisdictions to amend existing urgency ordinances to continue
prohibitions on certain types of residential evictions, including no-fault evictions.
ORDINANCE NO. 2021-32
Page 4
Without local protections in addition to statewide eviction protection for residential
renters, eviction notices are likely to increase in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
AA. On September 22, 2020, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2020-25, which prohibits a
landlord from terminating a residential tenancy for a no-fault reason; prohibits a landlord
from terminating a residential tenancy on the basis that a tenant allowed an unauthorized
occupant to live in the dwelling unit, if the occupant is the tenant’s immediate family
member living in the dwelling unit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and prohibits
a landlord from increasing rent on a residential real property.
BB. On September 29, 2020, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2020-26, which prohibits a
landlord from terminating specified residential tenancies, prohibits a landlord from
increasing rent on a residential real property, and authorizes a temporary prohibition on
evictions of certain commercial tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
CC. On November 17, 2020, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2020-29, which continued,
through January 31, 2021, the prohibitions on specified residential and small-business
commercial evictions that were included in Ordinance Nos. 2020-25 and 2020-26.
DD. On February 2, 2021, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2021-04, which continued,
through June 30, 2021, the prohibitions on specified residential evictions that were
included in Ordinance No. 2020-29; and continued, through March 31, 2021, the
prohibitions on specified small-business commercial evictions that were included in
Ordinance No. 2020-29.
EE. On March 23, 2021, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2021-11, which continued,
through June 30, 2021, the prohibitions on specified residential and small-business
commercial evictions that were included in Ordinance No. 2021-04.
FF. On June 22, 2021, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2021-20, which continued, through
September 30, 2021, the prohibitions on specified residential and small-business
commercial evictions that were included in Ordinance No. 2021-11.
GG. As authorized by the Act, the residential eviction protections in Ordinance No. 2021-20
continue to remain in effect through _______________. The Board finds, pursuant to
Civil Code section 1946.2 and Code of Civil Procedure section 1179.05(b), that: the just
cause for termination of a residential tenancy under this urgency ordinance is consistent
with Civil Code section 1946.2; this urgency ordinance, by prohibiting a landlord from
terminating a residential tenancy on the basis that a tenant allowed an unauthorized
occupant to live in the dwelling unit if the occupant is the tenant’s immediate family
member living in the dwelling unit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, provides
additional tenant protections that are not prohibited by any other provision of law; and
this urgency ordinance is more protective than the provisions of Civil Code section
1946.2.
Section 2. Definitions. For purposes of this ordinance, the following words and phrases have
the following meanings:
ORDINANCE NO. 2021-32

from acquiring any rights under this ordinance, the tenant may institute a civil proceeding
for injunctive relief, money damages of not more than three times actual damages
(including damages for mental or emotional distress), and whatever other relief a court

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Execution of a Right of Entry Permit with State of CA, Dept. of Parks and Recreation related to the Marsh Creek Road
Bridges Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County intends to replace two existing bridges (Bridge No. 28C-0143 and Bridge No.
28C-0145) and related roadway approaches on Marsh Creek Road, a County highway, in the Brentwood
and Clayton areas of unincorporated Contra Costa County (Project). The Project includes replacing the
bridge structures and reconstructing 600 to 1000 feet of road right of way on each side of each new
bridge structure to reconnect the realigned bridge to the existing roadway. Project-related work will
include drainage and creek work. In connection therewith, the County must acquire interests in certain
real property, which consists of a Roadway Easement which is 45,036 square feet in size and a
Temporary Construction Easement which 113,978 square feet in size.
On November 26, 2019, Caltrans approved a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Categorical
Exclusion, pursuant to Chapter 3 of Title 23, United States Code, Section 326. Caltrans determined that
this project has no significant impacts on the environment as defined by NEPA, and that there are no
unusual circumstances as described in 23 CFR 771.117(b). On August 4, 2020, this Board approved the
proposed Project and adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation and Monitoring and
Reporting Program pertaining to this Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). A Notice of Determination was filed by the County’s Clerk Recorders Office on August 14,
2020, and posted at the State Clearinghouse on September 2, 2020, all in compliance with CEQA. SCH
No.: 2020040312/DCD-CP #15-41.
Under the Permit, the County will have an irrevocable right of possession of property rights in
State-owned property that the County requires to construct the Project. The Permit also requires the
State to grant the County permanent easements the County requires to maintain the Project. The County
will pay the State $4,095 for the Permit.
As a condition of, and as partial consideration for, the rights granted under the Permit, the Grantor is
requiring the County to indemnify Grantor from liabilities that arise from the County’s use of the area
under the Permit. The risk to the County can be mitigated by requiring the Project construction
contractor to indemnify and defend the County from liabilities that arise during construction.
These property rights are required to obtain Project approval from Caltrans, which is a condition of
Project funding. Real Estate staff recommend that the Board approve execution of the Permit so that the
Project construction can proceed as planned.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board approval, the project will not have sufficient land rights to allow construction in
accordance with the approved plans and specifications.

Subject:Consent to Assignment Pursuant to the Lease between the County and Buchanan Fields Golf Course, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Course (“Assignee”) (the “Parties’ Mutual Agreement”), Assignor agreed and affirmed that Assignee is the
current owner of Golf Course. Under the terms of the Lease, the County must consent to the transfer of a
controlling interest in Golf Course.
Assignee has been responsible for the ongoing operation of Golf Course since at least November 6, 2018,
pursuant to an order issued that day by the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa, in Case
No. C18-00376. Since that time, Golf Course has complied with the material terms of the Lease and made
all required payments in a timely manner.
This Board action would authorize the Director of Airports to consent to the assignment of a controlling
interest in Golf Course that was effectuated by the Parties’ Mutual Agreement. The County’s consent is
appropriate given Golf Course is in compliance with the material terms of the Lease and to prevent a
technical default under the Lease.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not consent to the assignment effectuated by the Parties’ Mutual Agreement, creating a
cloud on the leasehold interest in the Lease.

Field Airport, to increase the payment limit by $263,335 to a new payment limit of $13,253,335.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the County General Fund; the increased cost is fully funded by a combination of
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants and Airport Enterprise Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The new terminal building will be located in a section of Buchanan Field that, until recently, was the site of
JSX airlines’ operations. Before construction of the new terminal building could commence, it was
necessary to relocate the JSX operations to a temporary facility and to provide power to the temporary
facility. The installation of power to the temporary facility was planned to be completed by County staff and
on-call electrical contractors. When approached

County
Subject:Increase in Payment Limit on Contract with W.E. Lyons Construction Company
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
by County staff, local utilities indicated there would be extensive delays in the utility companies’ review of
the proposed plans. To avoid these delays and the resultant impact on the overall project schedule, W.E.
Lyons, the construction company that is constructing the new terminal building, designed and implemented
an alternative approach to installing power to the JSX temporary facility. The cost to complete the work,
which was outside W.E. Lyons’ original scope of work, was $263,335.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If approval of the increase in the payment limit is not approved, W.E. Lyons will not be paid for the work it
performed for the County’s benefit, which could lead to an action against the County for payment under the
legal theory of “quantum meruit.”
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports to terminate the lease with Excelsior J D Co, LLC,
dba Java Detour, for property located at 2301 Meridian Park Boulevard at the Buchanan Field Airport.
AUTHORIZE County Counsel to pursue legal action to regain possession of the property.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no negative impact on the General Fund. The Airport Enterprise Fund will cover the cost of any
legal action.
BACKGROUND:
On October 1, 2010, the County entered into a lease with Excelsior J D Co. LLC, dba Java Detour (Tenant)
for use of the property located at 2301 Meridian Park Boulevard at the Buchanan Field Airport (Lease).
The Tenant is currently in default under their lease as they are over five (5) months behind on their ground
rent ($21,531 as of September 1, 2021) and they closed the building for its intended business purpose
around July 26, 2021.
Contra Costa County Airports (Airport) staff have been working with the Tenant since March to address the
outstanding rent and since July 2021 to address what appears

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to be the abandonment of the Premises. Unfortunately, despite all efforts, the Tenant continues to remain in
default of its Lease.
The Tenant has been given time to cure the defaults. They, however, have been unsuccessful in curing the
defaults.
Airport staff is requesting authority to terminate the Lease and to pursue legal action against Tenant through
County Counsel to regain possession of the property. Such actions are consistent with adopted Airport
policies. In addition, by recovering possession of the Premises, the Airport will be able to make the property
available to another interested business.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to terminate the Lease and pursue legal action against Tenant would result in the Airport being
unable to enforce adopted Airport policies and procedures.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
DENY claims filed by Daniel Artiga, Jose C. Ceja, Farmers Insurance Exchange, Dennis Morrison and
Salvador Virgen Ruiz.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
Daniel Artiga: Personal injury claim for trip and fall in the amount of $100,000.
Jose C. Ceja: Property claim for damage to vehicle in the amount of $1,000.
Farmers Insurance Exchange: subrogation claim for damage to an insured’s vehicle in the amount of

Dennis Morrison: Property claim for damage to vehicle in the amount of $1,150.
Salvador Virgen Ruiz: Personal injury claim for bodily injury as a result of police pursuit in the amount of

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not acting on the claims could extend the claimants’ time limits to file actions against the County.

Whereas, The Iron Workers moved to their own Hall at 1734 Campbell St. in Oakland Ca. in 1957 where they were located until
1991; and
Whereas, The George Miller Memorial Bridge Otherwise known as the Benicia Bridge, which opened in 1963 was built by
Ironworkers; and
Whereas, After the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, in less than 30 days Ironworkers assisted in the rescue of trapped
commuters and repaired the damaged section of the Bay Bridge, restoring transportation to and from San Francisco and the
Peninsula; and
Whereas, In 1991, the Ironworkers move to Benicia, California and established a training center for Bay Area Ironworkers of
Locals 378 and 377; and
Whereas, Built by Ironworkers, the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge is opened in 2003. This was the first suspension built in
over thirty years and is the only bridge in the State of California named after a working man, an Ironworker; tradespeople who
played an integral role in the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and numerous other bridges in the Bay Area; and
Whereas, In 2013, the eastern section of the Bay bridge was opened. This was built to address the seismic inadequacy of the
75-year-old cantilever section of the bridge; and
Whereas, In April of 2020, The Ironworkers are deemed essential workers during the pandemic; and
Whereas, Ironworkers play a key role in civic engagement and political involvement, providing pathways for underserved
populations to enter into the middle class, offering apprenticeship opportunities for men and women, and fighting for living wages
and local hiring – among other advocacy;
Therefore, Let it be Resolved that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County does hereby honor the
Ironworkers Local 378 on its 100th, and congratulate the men and women of the trade on their numerous
contributions to the people and places of Contra Costa County.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25804 to cancel three (3) vacant Registered Nurse - Project
(VWX5) positions #18294, #18296 and #18301, at salary plan and grade L32-1880 ($10,398 - $12,986);
and add three (3) Registered Nurse - Project Beginning Level (VWX2) positions at salary plan and grade
L35-1634 ($9,415) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost savings of approximately $65,173, with pension
costs of $25,274 already included. (Cost savings - COVID Emergency Response funding)
BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year, several Registered Nurse - Project positions were added to supplement staffing levels to
support testing, vaccination, and contact investigation activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The
Health Services department is experiencing great difficulty with securing and retaining Registered Nurses
due to the great demand for nurses throughout the Country. The Beginning Level RN classification requires
a nursing license and no experience. The Department hopes to attract new graduates, not only to help them
gain valuable experience but to perform tasks related to the COVID-19 response that are well within their
scope of practice.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER adopting Resolution No. 2021/296 approving a modification to Management Benefits
Resolution No. 2019/507 to add Section 11.18 - Salary Upon Promotion from a Competitive Recruitment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that the number of affected employees will be small. Increased costs, if any, will be
absorbed by impacted departments.
BACKGROUND:
County employees who apply for promotional opportunities within the County through a competitive
recruitment process and are seleted for promotion are restricted to specific salary steps defined in the Salary
Regulations. The Regulations limit the employee to either a 5% increase or the salary in the new salary
range, which is next higher than the rate the employee was receiving before promotion. A non-County
applicant has no step limitation and can be placed on the salary scale according to their education and
experience. The attached Management Benefit modification to add Section 11.18 will allow, with the
Human Resources Director's approval, placement at a greater level if the County applicant's education and
expereince warrant a higher step.

Recruitment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
11.18 Salary Upon Promotion from a Competitive Recruitment
Internal candidates applying for promotional opportunities within the County may be disadvantaged
over non-County employees when negotiating beginning salary. An employee who is appointed as a
result of a competitive recruitment may be placed at any step in the new salary range, provided that their
education and experience merit such a step. The Director of Human Resources shall approve or deny any
step greater than the step placement defined in the Salary Regulations Section 4.1 – Salary-On
Promotion.
Existing Salary Regulation Language
4.1 Salary-On Promotion: Any employee who is appointed to a position of a class allocated to a higher
salary range than the class he previously occupied, shall receive the salary in the new salary range,
which is next higher than the rate he was receiving before promotion. In the event this increase is less
than five (5) percent, the employee’s salary shall be adjusted to the step in the new range which is five
(5) percent greater than the next higher step, if the new range permits such adjustment. In the event of
the promotion of an employee from the layoff list to the class from which the employee was laid off, the
employee shall be appointed at the step the employee had formerly attained in the higher class, unless
such step results in an increase of less than five (5) percent; in which case the salary shall be adjusted to
the step in the new range which is five (5) percent greater than the next higher step, if the new range
permits such adjustment. (Ord. 1727; prior code §2442(d); Ord. 1351; Ord. 1285; prior Ord. Code
§36-4.802, Res. 82/852)

Internal candidates will continue to be disadvantaged over non-County candidates when negotiating
beginning salary after being selected from a competitive recruitment.

Costa
County
Subject:California Office of Emergency Services, Victim Services Branch Funding
BACKGROUND:
The goal of the Elder Abuse Prevention Project (EAPP) is to bridge the gap in services addressing Elder
Abuse. EAPP is designed to provide direct services to elders in a coordinated manner. The program design
takes into account approximately 5,000 annual Adult Protective Services (APS) reports of abuse, and
focuses on the areas where direct service is most required: financial abuse, case management, and
counseling. This focus will increase justice for, and safety of, elder residents of Contra Costa County. The
EAPP provides a platform to raise awareness in the community by helping all providers and the community
to better identify and respond to cases of elder abuse.
This grant funding will be used to:
Continue identification and early intervention of financial abuse of the elderly in
Contra Costa County;
Increase victim safety through linkages to mental health services and civil legal
services;
Strengthen linkages and working relationships among agency partners working with
APS clients to better meet the needs of vulnerable Elders at risk of abuse; and
Increase community awareness and understanding of Elder Abuse leading to better
identification of cases by community members.
Employment and Human Services Department's (EHSD) Aging & Adult Services will partner with Contra
Costa Health Services Department (HSD)/Mental Health Division, District Attorney’s Office, and
contracted partners to deliver the elder abuse prevention and interventions outlined in the proposal
application to Cal OES. Additional partners may be identified and added as needed.
Pros and cons of request:
Pros:
Leverages existing APS services and community partners to address gaps in services
for elder adults and dependent adults who are victims of crime, elder abuse, neglect,
self-neglect, or financial exploitation.
Focuses on prevention in order for older adults to be in a safe environment.
Builds capacity for the County’s network of community service providers and APS to
continue the success of the EAPP.
Cons:
Sustainability of program funding beyond the end of grant term, December 31, 2022.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without funding, the Adult Protection Services (APS) division will continue to face an increasing number
of vulnerable elder adults facing financial abuse, interpersonal violence, neglect, and exploitation.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment
with Robinson Mills + Williams, to extend the term from October 23, 2021 through October 23, 2022 and
increase the payment limit by $750,000 to a new payment limit of $1,500,000, to provide as-needed
architectural services for various County facilities projects, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Projects will be assigned to the on-call architect when there is an approved project and funding. (100%
Various Funds)
BACKGROUND:
On October 23, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved a Consulting Services Agreement with Robinson
Mills + Williams for as-needed architectural services in the amount of $750,000. Robinson Mills +
Williams is familiar with the County’s active projects and the design and construction of typical building
types. Therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be approved at this time.
Robinson Mills + Williams will continue to provide architectural services, such as programming, design

and construction administration. The type, size and location of projects will vary. Typical projects may
include new construction, building renovations/modernizations, remodeling of an entire building or specific
areas within a building, tenant improvements, exterior building restorations, mechanical/electrical/plumbing
upgrades, structural improvements, code-related improvements and deferred maintenance projects. Projects
may also include fire district buildings projects.
Extending this as-needed contract will save the County time and money when compared to the time and
expense involved in conducting a consultant selection process on a project-by-project basis. In addition, it
will allow the design phase to commence sooner and provide for a shorter project completion schedule.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If amendment No. 1 is not approved, projects currently in process will be delayed, which will ultimately
result in higher project costs.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/285 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director,
or designee, to accept funding in an amount not to exceed $69,937 from the California Department of Aging
to provide Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) services for the period
September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County is to receive $69,937 in Federal MIPPA funding from California Department of Aging. No
County match required.
BACKGROUND:
The Employment and Human Services Department’s (EHSD) Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is a direct
service provider of the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP), which helps older
adults and persons with disabilities in Contra Costa County navigate Medicare and other health insurance
benefits. California Department of Aging has allocated the AAA $69,937 in federal MIPPA funding to help
eligible beneficiaries lower their Medicare premiums and deductibles. The funding enables HICAP staff and
State-certified volunteer counselors reach eligible Medicare beneficiaries and help them enroll in Part D
Low Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Programs. MIPPA funding also allows HICAP to produce and
disseminate wellness and preventive services information and materials.

Subject:Contract #24-681-82(17) with Modesto Residential Living Center, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On July 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-681-82(14) with Modesto Residential
Living Center, Inc, in an amount not to exceed $231,012, to provide augmented board and care services for
mentally ill adults, through August 31, 2021.
On September 8, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement
#24-681-82(15) with Modesto Residential Living Center, Inc, to increase the payment limit by $75,555,
from $231,012 to a new payment limit of $306,567, with no change in the term of September 1, 2020
through August 31, 2021.
In January 2021, the County Administrator approved and Purchasing Services Manager executed
Administrative Amendment Agreement #24-681-82(16) with Modesto Residential Living Center, Inc, to
correct the monthly payment limit from $19,251 to the intended $25,668 per month with no change in the
contract payment limit of $306,567 or term of September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021.
On September 7, 2021 the renewal of this contract (Item C.115) was removed from the consent calendar at
the request of a community stakeholder due to alleged complaints that had been filed with Community Care
Licensing (CCL). Behavioral Health subsequently reviewed CCL complaints of this facility with 100 beds.
The Division is aware that complaints do arise from time to time, with facilities serving clients with
complex behavioral health needs, that may require attention from the operator. The Division feels the
nature of the complaints are consistent with what other programs experience and staff report positive
interactions with the provider. Additionally, this facility is one of a limited number that are willing to
accept clients with physical co-morbidities and as such fill an important role. In light of this review and the
services provided by Modesto Residential Living Center, the Division requests to continue the relationship
with this provider and approval of this contract.
Approval of Contract #24-681-82(17) will allow the contractor to continue to provide augmented board and
care services through August 31, 2022.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, the County will not be able to provide augmented board and care services to
mentally ill adults in Contra Costa County through this contractor.

Subject:Acknowledge and Approve Board Action Pertaining to Contracted Services with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to provide health care services for Medi-Cal recipients enrolled in the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, for
the period from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019.
On July 10, 2018 (Item C.77), the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement
#27-277-21, to add a delegation provision with no change in the payment limit of $600,000,000 or term of
October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019.
On September 9, 2019 (Item C.133), the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment/Extension
Agreement #27-277-22, to extend the term from September 30, 2019 to September 30, 2021, with no
change in the payment limit of $600,000,000, to allow the contractor to continue to provide additional
Medi-Cal services to Medi-Cal members enrolled in the Kaiser Health Plan through September 30, 2021.
This Board Order clarifies the incorrect term language as previously approved by the Board on September
27, 2016, July 10, 2018, and September 10, 2019 to correct the term to match the agreement so it will
automatically be renewed for successive two-year periods, until such time it is terminated by either party.

contract term agreed upon in the original contract from 2016.

Subject:FY 2020/21 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development
BACKGROUND:
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER): The Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires all CDBG and HOME entitlement
jurisdictions to prepare and submit a CAPER (Attachment A) to the U.S Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) by September 30th of each year. The CAPER provides the County and
interested stakeholders with an opportunity to evaluate the progress in carrying out priorities and
objectives contained in the County's five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan. HUD uses the
CAPER to evaluate whether: (1) the County has carried out projects/programs as described in its
Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan; (2) the CDBG, HOME, ESG, NSP, and HOPWA assisted
activities are eligible and meet a national objective, and if expenditures meet certain statutory
requirements; and (3) the County has demonstrated a continuing capacity to carry out its HUD funded
programs.
The basic elements of the CAPER are the following: summary of resources and expenditures,
programmatic accomplishments, status of actions taken during the year to implement objectives
contained in the Consolidated Plan, and evaluation of progress made during the year in addressing
identified priority needs and objectives.
Highlights of the FY 2020/21 CAPER include the following:
The County received approximately $9.2 million in FY 2020/21 CDBG,HOME, HOPWA, ESG funds for
use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives.
The County expended $6.55 million on approved projects and programs (expenditures were for projects
funded in previous and current years).
The County continued to meet HUD's requirements related to spending CDBG and HOME funds in a timely
manner.
For each dollar of the County federal funds spent for projects that were completed during the year, $11.69
was leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources.
Over 33,000 lower income persons/families were served through public service programs.
11 lower income people were placed in jobs through Economic Development programs.
324 businesses were assisted through Economic Development programs.
2 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed.
46 rental housing units were constructed for low income households including 2 HOPWA units.
118 rental housing units were constructed for low income seniors.
14 owner-occupied homes were rehabilitated.
617 low income renters received services and/or financial assistance to prevent them from being homeless
or to quickly regain housing following an episode of being homeless.
In addition, the County received additional funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act), to add approximately $7.02 million in Community Development Block
Grant-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds and $10.6 million in Emergency Solutions Grant-Coronavirus
(ESG-CV) funds, for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives
in response to COVID-19. The County is still expending those additional resources and staff anticipates
expenditure of those funds to continue through June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2021, the additional funds
have assisted in providing the following to address the impacts of COVID-19:
6,279 lower income persons/families were aided in Food Security
26 microenterprises were awarded grants
491 low-income renters received financial assistance to prevent them from being homeless during the
pandemic
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County cannot submit the CAPER without Board approval, which would jeopardize future HUD
funding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The project/programs funded with CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, and NSP funds support one or more
of the following children's outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2) Children and
Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (3) Families that are Economically Self
Sufficient; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and
Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the
priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the
highest priority activities identified.
All of the County's HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS
(HOPWA) funding sources address the priorities and specific objectives identified in the FY 2020/2025
Consolidated Plan. All of the funded activities meet at least one of the highest priority needs identified
in the Consolidated Plan.
The County has made significant progress in meeting the goals and objectives contained in the Five-Year
Consolidated Plan. During FY 2020/21, CDBG-funded public service projects provided a wide range of
social services to over 33,000 Urban County residents and households, including the homeless, mentally
and physically disabled, seniors, victims of domestic violence, and other special needs populations.
Economic development programs offered training and placement services for 11 lower income persons
and assisted with the creation and expansion of 324 microenterprises/small businesses. There were five
Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects completed in FY 2020/21 that created a variety of infrastructure
and accessibility improvements.

Narrative
The Contra Costa County HOME Consortium area is comprised of the unincorporated areas and
incorporated cities/towns of the County. In terms of geographic distribution of investment of HOME
funds, HOME housing activities will go towards all eligible areas of the HOME Consortium area to benefit
low-income households.
Contra Costa County also receives an allocation of CDBG funds from HUD to benefit residents of the
Urban County. The Urban County area is comprised of all the unincorporated areas and incorporated
cities/towns of the County, minus the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek. These
four cities receive their own allocation of CDBG funds from HUD and therefore are not part of the Urban
County area. In terms of specific geographic distribution of investments, infrastructure improvements
and public facilities were focused primarily in areas with concentrations of low- to moderate-income
populations within the Urban County area. Investments in CDBG housing activities occur in any Urban
County area.
Contra Costa County also receives an allocation of ESG funds from HUD. The ESG area for the County is
the Urban County area (similar to the County's CDBG Urban County area explained above). In terms
CAPER 16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
of geographic investment of ESG funds, ESG funds were distributed throughout the Urban County to
provide assistance to the homeless population or those at risk of becoming homeless who are within the
Urban County area of Contra Costa County.
Contra Costa County is also a sub-grantee to the City of Oakland (Alameda County) for the HOPWA
program. Contra Costa County’s HOPWA area is the entire County unincorporated areas and
incorporated cities/towns of the County.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well
as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were
used to address the needs identified in the plan.
For each dollar spent in County federal funds for projects that were completed during the program year,
$11.40 was leveraged in other federal, State, local, and private resources. The 100 percent ESG matching
requirements were met through other federal (non-ESG), State, local, and private resources. The 25
percent HOME Program match requirement was exceeded through non-federal resources and the
excess will be carried over for the next federal fiscal year.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in

During FY 2020/21, Contra Costa continued to make progress toward meeting its affordable housing
goals. There are also several developments currently under construction or will be commencing
construction in the coming months. In measuring the County’s accomplishments, it must be noted that
the majority of funded housing projects are complex, involving new construction or acquisition and
rehabilitation of multifamily housing and requiring multiple funding sources. In general, these projects
require two to five years from initial development planning to completion and occupancy. In order to
facilitate the ability of the project sponsor to obtain additional funding from other sources (e.g., LIHTCs
and State programs), the County often commits resources relatively early in the process. Therefore, the
number of units funded and completed with current resources is often less than the number funded and
in development.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing
and ending homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
The Contra Costa Continuum of Care uses a number of strategies to reach out to unsheltered persons
experiencing homelessness and assess their individual needs, including direct outreach and marketing,
the use of phone-based services including the 211 line, marketing in other languages (e.g., Spanish),
making physical and virtual locations accessible to those with disabilities, and collaborating with local
law enforcement.
All persons experiencing homelessness who are interested in housing receive a VI-SPDAT (Vulnerability
Index – Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool) assessment, the common assessment tool being
used by the Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System to prioritize those with the highest levels of
chronicity and acuity for available housing resources and services. Persons are also referred to CARE
(Coordinated Assessment Resource) Centers to access services for basic needs, case management,
housing navigation, and health care.
Outreach Services: As a part of the Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System, CORE (Coordinated
Outreach, Referral and Engagement) Teams serve as an entry point into the homeless system of care,
providing both day and evening outreach resources and services to encampments and service sites. The
outreach teams seek out individuals on the street and in encampments and provide clients with access
to food and shelter, and to integrated health, mental health and substance abuse services. This year
outreach included a survey and special count of unsheltered and sheltered homelessness in the region
through the County homeless Continuum of Care’s annual Point-In-Time Count. This year the County
utilized CORE teams and local service providers to support outreach for the U.S. Census, which will
ensure the County receives funding for all residents, which may allow for improvements in service and
housing available for people experiencing homelessness in the area.
Health Care for the Homeless: In addition to providing direct medical care, testing and immunization
services, the County-funded Health Care for the Homeless Program uses its mobile healthcare van for
outreach. The bilingual Healthcare for the Homeless Team assesses client’s needs, provides social
support, and links clients to appropriate services and programs, including mental health and substance
abuse programs, Medi-Cal, the County's Basic Adult Care program, and the Covered California
healthcare insurance exchange. Healthcare for the Homeless also partners closely with the CORE
outreach teams to provide care to people without shelter or housing.
Impacts of COVID-19: This year during the COVID-19 pandemic, outreach and assessments were
severely impacted as it was not physically possible to engage with people experiencing homelessness in
CAPER 24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the same ways to protect the health and safety of unsheltered and temporarily sheltered clients and
homeless services staff. Congregate facilities such as CARE and Warming Centers that are often used by
unsheltered persons, were temporarily closed under orders of the County Health Officer. While the
County did deploy outreach teams, the type and content of the outreach shifted to include ensuring
those who were unsheltered received personal protective equipment, hygiene and sanitation training
and supplies, and that necessary resources and services such as food and healthcare access continued
with modifications. The County and local governments also provided increased access to handwashing
stations, port-o-potties, showers, and laundry. Healthcare for the Homeless mobile services and other
mobile services were well suited to adapt to changing conditions and were able to continue service.
Other new and continuing mobile services included hygiene stations, portable toilets, handwashing
stations, and mobile laundry and shower facilities.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless
persons
During Fiscal Year 19-20 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020) there were 8,410 people served in programs for
people experiencing homelessness (making up 7,139 households). There has been a 43% five-year
increase in the number of households served in programs for people experiencing homelessness (from
4,989 in 15-16 to 7,139 in 2019-20).
Crisis services, including emergency shelter and transitional housing, are a critical component of the
Contra Costa Coordinated Entry System. For individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis that
cannot be diverted, CORE Teams and CARE Centers make referrals to over 900 emergency shelter and
transitional housing beds throughout Contra Costa County. In keeping with a Housing First approach,
the goal of Contra Costa’s crisis response system is to provide immediate and easy access to safe and
decent shelter beds, when available, to the most vulnerable unsheltered people, including those that
are chronically homeless, with the housing-focused goal of re-housing people as quickly as
possible. Contra Costa CoC has established system-level performance measures for emergency shelter,
including reducing the average length of stay increasing exits to permanent housing and increasing non-
returns to homelessness.
For FY 2019/20, CDBG funds were awarded to Concord’s Adult Emergency Shelter to provide shelter and
case management services to homeless adults. Upon entry to the shelter, each resident is assigned a
case manager to assist the individual in determining an appropriate service plan that will help them
regain housing as soon as possible. The shelters are part of Contra Costa County’s Continuum of Care
and enables individuals and families the opportunity to work on stabilizing their lives and moving toward
a permanent housing solution.
HUD CoC Program Funding: Under HUD's 2019 CoC Program NOFA, the County CoC obtained an award
$16,665,017, the majority of which supports funding for outreach, rental assistance, and housing
navigation and placement into permanent and permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable,
including seniors, chronically homeless individuals, and for survivors of domestic violence and their
children.
CAPER 25
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Impacts of COVID-19: While transportation and indoor congregate shelter facilities were severely
limited, the County with support from federal, state, and local funding were able to shift resources to
make indoor noncongregate facilities (such as hotels) available to persons most vulnerable to the
disease before expanding those services to others. The County continues working with the community,
including the Council on Homelessness, to use data driven processes to develop a COVID Recovery Plan,
with specific strategies and objectives of reopening shelters safely, leveraging new and existing
noncongregate shelters for medium and long term emergency shelter capacity, increasing permanent
housing opportunities to reduce emergency shelter utilization and overall homelessness, and
coordinating prioritization and system procedures to ensure longterm housing stability and system
capacity for disaster and inflow impacts.
State ESG Funding: The State, in consultation with HUD, redesigned its ESG Program prior to the 2016
Program Year. The redesign intended to accomplish the following: align State ESG with local entities'
ESG programs and HUD goals; increase coordination of State ESG investments with local homelessness
systems and investments; invest in the most impactful activities, based on key performance goals and
outcomes; shift from an intensive provider competition, in which local providers competed for State ESG
funds with other local providers and providers throughout the State, to a much more local competition
and where the administration of the program is streamlined; and improve geographic distribution of
funding. Under this program design, the State established a dedicated CoC allocation and simplified
process available to California communities that are able to administer ESG locally. Under this process,
eligible local government entities can act as Administrative Entities (AE) of State ESG funds in
furtherance of these goals. In 2016, HCD began distributing funding to Continuum of Care Service Areas
(or Service Areas) through two allocations: Continuum of Care Allocation for Service Areas that contain a
city or county that receives ESG directly from HUD; and the Balance of State Allocation for Service Areas
that do not contain a city or county that receives ESG directly from HUD. The County's Department of
Conservation and Development (DCD) receives ESG funds directly from HUD to administer the County's
own ESG Program, so it is an eligible local government entity that can act as an AE of State ESG funds
under the State's program. On March 30, 2016, the State approved DCD as an AE to administer State
ESG funds on behalf of the State for the County's CoC Service Area, which includes all of Contra Costa
County, with emphasis toward households/residents of the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and
Walnut Creek, as required by the State ESG regulations. The other cities in the County, including
Richmond, are part of the Urban County and are therefore served the County's direct ESG grant.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially
extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become
homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of
care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other
youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social
services, employment, education, or youth needs
The Contra Costa CoC has implemented a triage tool used by 211 and other crisis service entry points
into our system to identify clients on the brink of homelessness and connect them to prevention,
mainstream services, and diversion services. In 2019 the CoC also implemented rapid resolution services
CAPER 26
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to assist clients at the system access points move towards early alternate stable housing options and
reduce inflow and length of time in the homeless system. In 2020 rapid resolution services, which also
includes landlord-tenant mediation, was scaled to allow all service providers to use those strategies to
help clients at any stage. Rapid Resolution services have also been paired successfully with the CoC’s
flexible housing pool (Housing Security Fund), to provide financial assistance that may be necessary to
secure those alternate housing options, including short term rental assistance and utility arrears.
Clients are connected to prevention services throughout the County’s Coordinated entry system via the
telephonic system (211) and also connect directly to several other prevention providers. 1,106
households were served in prevention programs during FY 19-20. Three-quarters (74%) of people in
prevention programming exited to permanent housing; 8% of households in prevention programing
exited to a temporary setting; 7% exited to homelessness. Work is currently underway to enhance
integrations of prevention and diversion services into the homeless CoC, including use of coordinated
entry system, data collection and storage, broader access among providers and populations to the local
flexible housing use fund, and potentially a regional approach to prevention services and funding.
Season of Sharing provides $900k annually in temporary financial assistance (emergency rent payments,
utilities, & other aids to prevent homelessness) for families in crisis. Discharge planning w/hospitals,
mental health, substance abuse treatment, corrections & foster care systems also help to reduce first
time homelessness. Federal Emergency Solutions Grants and Supportive Services for Veteran Families
funding are also available in the County and accessible through 211 to provide prevention and rental
assistance support to persons at risk of homelessness.
There is significant cross system collaboration including with hospitals and clinics, Department of
Probation, law enforcement, and the Office of the Public Defender. H3 and other CoC partner agencies
work closely with those systems, agencies and the County Employment and Human Services Department
to ensure affordable housing and social services are available to individuals who are at risk of discharge
into homelessness or unstable housing. H3 is working to strengthen other partnerships and
collaborative projects, including with foster care system and workforce development services. CORE
outreach teams are often bridging across these systems on the ground and working closely with a
variety of providers to connect vulnerable populations to the available resources.
Veterans: In cooperation with the local VA, Contra Costa's CoC has worked to increase its capacity to
house and serve homeless veterans, including the distribution of HUD-VASH vouchers and rental
assistance for permanent housing units provided to homeless veterans and their families under the
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program. The County continues to work with the
Contra Costa Public Housing Authority (PHA) and local affordable housing developers to maximize the
inventory of affordable housing units to which formerly homeless clients can eventually transition. The
Assistant to the Executive Director of the PHA serves on the Contra Costa CoC advisory board in the
Housing Provider seat, and has consistently provided needed political support and commitment to gain
approval of new affordable housing projects in the County.
Reducing Recidivism: The Contra Costa County's Health Services Department has integrated the
County's Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services and Homeless Programs into a single
CAPER 27
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Behavioral Health Division that is able to address the mental health and substance abuse issues that are
common barriers to long-term housing success for homeless individuals and families.
Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic: The CoC used system modeling and Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS) data to identify any additional needs and costs of homelessness prevention
and rapid resolution services in light of the pandemic and local factors, including the County-wide
eviction moratorium. The CoC convened a series of public meetings during which a working group of the
Council on Homelessness made recommendations in line with State and Federal funding and policy
guidance to target resources toward permanent housing solutions, medium and long term rental
assistance, and emergency shelter in response to the pandemic.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families,
families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make
the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening
the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating
access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and
preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming
homeless again
In sum, 16% of households exited to Permanent Housing during 19-20 FY; 44 of those households were
housed in RRH, 352 in housing with other type of subsidy, and 769 housed without a subsidy.
The Contra Costa CoC uses the VI-SPDAT (which includes length of homelessness as measure of
vulnerability) to help prioritize the most vulnerable people for available Permanent Supportive Housing.
This process is used to prioritize individuals and families for Rapid Rehousing and permanent housing
options, including Permanent Supportive Housing for individuals and families with high needs. Available
housing is also prioritized for persons who have been homeless longest. The CoC and homeless services
providers are committed to reducing length of time persons are homeless by reducing barriers to
housing and services using a Housing First approach. The CoC also uses a robust housing navigation
program to get people housing ready, obtain income, and obtain permanent housing placements in the
community. 344 households were served in Housing Navigation during the 19-20 FY.
The CoC uses various data metrics to track, monitor and support decision making around homeless
services and housing funding and policy. CoC-wide performance measures, tracked in HMIS, include
reducing the average length of stay in emergency shelters, tracking chronicity, and number of
permanent housing exits. The CoC has recently used system modeling to help identify strategies to right
size the system and maximize existing resources, so more resources would be available to more people
to promote faster more stable housing placements. However, Contra Costa’s biggest challenge to
reducing length of time homeless is lack of affordable housing stock and permanent ongoing funding to
support stable housing in our high cost area for low, very low and extremely low income households.
Chronically Homeless: Chronically homeless consumers are generally the most difficult to move from
the streets and back into housing. The county tracks chronicity in a By-Name List. One-third (34%) of
households were chronically homeless. Chronic homelessness has increased 211% in five years (from
CAPER 28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
803 households in 15-16 to 2,496 households in 19-20). This large in-flow and low housing placements
results in an increasing number on the monthly Chronic By-Name List. Despite the challenges in reaching
and housing this population, local outreach teams and care providers continue to successfully engage
with the chronically homeless population to begin the process of establishing and maintaining stable
housing. In FY19/20 the County continued using funding from the HUD CoC-funded County project for
High Utilizers of Multiple Systems (HUMS) pending the construction of microunits for the project
participants. This allowed for chronically homeless high needs individuals to benefit from stable
permanent housing even before the project building was complete.
Families with Children: In Contra Costa County, 13% (n=944 HH) of households were families with
children in 19-20 FY; the number of family households has increased 34% in five years. Families
experiencing a housing crisis who cannot be diverted are connected to crisis services and assessed for
permanent housing using the Family VI-SPDAT. Using a Housing First approach, the CE Manager makes
referrals to services and housing based on the prioritization to ensure the most vulnerable are first
matched to resources that meet their needs. As of FY19/20 there are three large Rapid Rehousing
projects dedicated to families with children. One of which, in partnership with the Employment and
Human Services Department, functions as a primary method of ensuring families of color with children
are housed at rates that exceed the proportion of people of color in the population while simultaneously
operating as one of the highest performing projects in the system of care with fast placements and high
housing stability rates.
Veterans: Veteran households made up 7% of all HH (n=525) in FY 19-20. Veterans had the lowest
percent change of all populations with only 2% five-year increase (the overall population increased by
43%). As part of our involvement in the Built For Zero campaign, the Contra Costa CoC focused on
improving connections between the Veteran and homeless systems of care by facilitating data sharing
between programs to better assess the number of veterans being housed each month in the
community. All CoC program-funded providers, including outreach teams, assess veteran eligibility
using a standardized HMIS intake form and qualifying clients are referred to veteran services using the
coordinated entry system and HMIS database. The CoC also uses a veterans â¿¿by nameâ¿ list
to identify veterans who are not yet connected to housing and to center monthly housing placement
committee meetings with veteran providers on the needs and options for housing and services on those
specific veterans.
Unaccompanied Youth: When foster youth age out of the foster care system, the County links them
to the Independent Living Skills Program (ILSP). ILSP includes workshops that prepare youth for
emancipation (money management, education, computer skills, home management, and social skills),
employment assistance, non-McKinney-Vento housing and retention services, and an individualized
transition plan out of foster care.
Reentry Population: Over the past two years, the CoC has developed and scaled multiple projects with
criminal justice system agencies to connect people reentering the community after incarceration, with
prevention and rapid resolution services, specialized housing navigation services and housing. The CoC
also has a seat on the Council on Homelessness dedicated to criminal justice partners to ensure
adequate consideration of the needs of this population and to enhance the system of care.
CAPER 29
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Impacts of COVID-19: The County used Federal and State guidance, including Federal Emergency
Management Administration (FEMA) eligibility criteria to rapidly place and transition the most vulnerable
populations, including chronically homeless, the elderly, and families at high risk of infection, into
noncongregate shelter environments, such as hotels. As part of the Countyâ¿¿s COVID-19 Response Strategy,
those individuals were also prioritized for rapid housing exits to ensure safe and stable permanent housing
was available to those homeless individuals to further prevent the spread of coronavirus. As part of the
Countyâ¿¿s ongoing COVID-19 Recovery Plan, the County is working with multiple local partners, including
the City of Concord, to plan for transitioning individuals in the noncongregate shelters to safe temporary and
permanent placements once the federal FEMA and State Project Roomkey funding expires. CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) has begun a long-term project to reposition
and rehabilitate its public housing portfolio in the face of ever-decreasing federal, state and local
funding. The initial step in this process was the disposition via RAD of the agency's Las Deltas public
housing property in North Richmond. HACCC received approval from HUD to move forward with the
RAD conversion of this property. The public housing subsidies received for the 214 units at Las Deltas
will be converted to RAD project-based voucher assistance at eleven new or rehabilitated housing
developments throughout the County. The units at Las Deltas help produce at least 502 units of new or
rehabilitated affordable housing throughout the County. Of this total, 125 of the units, to date, will be
funded directly with the RAD project-based vouchers received for Las Deltas, 161 will be funded with
"regular" project-based vouchers from the housing authority's existing funding and 216 will be funded
using other affordable housing funds. An additional 89 units are to be committed to other RAD
transactions or replaced through the HUD Demolition and Disposition process that will result in at least
another 89 units of funding for voucher replacement units and likely more units leveraged for further
project-based voucher assistance.
HACCC budgeted $2,820,000 of HUD funding to include the following improvements:
• $600,000 - Replacement of select roofs at the Bayo Vista development.
• $327,000 – Repair and conversion of the electrical infrastructure at the Alhambra Terrace
development.
• $292,000 - Phase 1 modernization of the Alhambra Terrace development.
• $168,000 - Security window and door covers for vacant units at the Las Deltas development.
• $162,000 – Boiler replacement at the Hacienda development.
• $160,000 - Computer upgrades.
• $100,000 – Elevator modernization at the Elder Winds development.
• $55,000 – Demolition of the former day care building at the Las Deltas development.
• $50,000 - Concrete flatwork repairs at various developments.
• $30,000 – Roof refurbishing at the Kidd Manor development.
• $28,000 - Replace refrigerators, ranges, and other dwelling equipment.
• $27,000 - Relocation costs - RAD

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
HACCC holds quarterly meetings/social events at seven public housing properties. Tenants from nearby
properties also attend these events. This year due to COVID-19 we only held two back to school
gatherings at the Bayo Vista property and El Pueblo. Backpack and school supplies were given to school-
age children at these properties. Free lunch programs are operated at Bayo Vista and Vista Del Camino
housing developments. HACCC participates in the Campaign for Grade Level Reading and the HACCC
provides children’s books to families at public housing sites.. HACCC partnered with Pittsburg Police
Department and the Sheriff's Department to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to residents in
the El Pueblo and Bayo Vista developments. HACCC partnered with Supervisor Glover's office to
distribute turkeys for Thanksgiving to residents in Bayo Vista, Hacienda and Casa Serena. HACCC
continues to expand partnerships with law enforcement in East County, by installing camera system at
Elderwinds, Bridgemont and Casa Del Rio properties in Antioch. Antioch Police Department will monitor
each property from a law enforcement perspective and provide HACCC with access any footage of
crimes at properties. For the last few years the Bay Area Medical Group has provide the Bayo Vista
Community medical service on site. Staff is meeting regularly with elderly and disabled residents to
better determine their service needs. The Resident Advisory Board met four times this year to discuss
HACCC policies. Their input will be used to craft the Agency's next Annual Plan.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that
serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies
affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth
limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j);
91.320 (i)
The County will continue its efforts to remove or ameliorate public policies which negatively impact
affordable housing development in the County including the following:
• Through the County Density Bonus Ordinance and the State’s Density Bonus Statute, an
application for a housing development may request a density bonus if they seek and agree to
construct on-site affordable housing. Both state and local laws regarding residential density
bonus requires the County to grant a bonus in residneital density on a site if a certain
percentage of units in the project are affordable. The affordability of the units are deed
restricted and run with the land. The density bonus that is granted vary depending on the
affordability levels of the units based on area median income (AMI) of the affordable units.
Units proposed at 30% AMI, 50% AMI, 80% AMI, or 120% AMI all have differing leveles of
density bonus. A project’s location to transit, and the proposal of a childcare facility on-site may
also increase the number of incentives, concessions, or density bonus for the project.
• Through the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the County requires all developers of five or more
residential units to provide 15 percent of the units at affordable costs to moderate, lower, or
very-low income households depending on the type of project. Developers may pay a fee in lieu
of providing the affordable units if the project is 125 residential units or less.
• Through the Farmworker Housing Ordinance, the County has established requirements and
standards for housing accommodations for five or more farmworkers, and established
ministerial review and discretionary review process for different housing accommodation types.
Housing accommodations for four or fewer farmworkers are not regulated separately by the
County Zoning Code, but must comply with all zoning requirements of the zoning district where
the housing accommodations are located.
• Through the Accessory Dwelling Units Ordinance, the County has authorized accessory dwelling
units, including junior accessory dwelling units, and established procedures for reviewing and
approving their development to ensure healthy and safe residential living environments,
established location and development standards, and require ministerial review of their
proposed development.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k);
91.320(j)
The County's efforts to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing, and to meet the
objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan, described in the general narrative sections of this report,
are all directed to meeting underserved needs. In addition, the criteria for target population and
alleviation of affordable housing needs employed in the allocation of HOME and CDBG funds for
CAPER 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
housing, establish a priority for projects that reserve a portion of the units for extremely-low income
and/or special needs populations.
The following are obstacles to meeting needs of the underserved:
Accessibility to Services: Lack of accessibility to services can be the result of lack of transportation for
those in need, services that are not delivered in a culturally appropriate manner or in the appropriate
language, burdensome prerequisites to accessing services (“red tape”), and services that are not
provided in proximity to those in need. Lack of transportation is a particular challenge for those who do
not drive, do not have a car, or are elderly and for persons with disabilities. Most if not all of the public
service projects listed in AP-38 are located within the neighborhoods or communities of the target
population to provide easy accessibility to their services. Some of the public service projects serving the
elderly or persons with disabilities provide transportation to their services or provide "in-home"
services.
Awareness of Services: The lack of awareness of the availability of services by those in need and a lack
of knowledge about how to access services are significant obstacles to the provision of services. All
agencies receiving CDBG, HOME, ESG, or HOPWA funds from the County must provide significant
outreach to those in need. County DCD staff continues to monitor CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funded
agencies to verify if an agency's outreach is adequate and that outreach materials are available in
various languages.
Coordination of Services: Those in need often access services from several points; similar services may
also be provided by more than one agency. Those being served by one agency may have needs that are
not being addressed by the particular agency currently serving that person or family. County DCD staff
advocates that CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funded agencies collaborate and coordinate with other
agencies in the community or serving their target population. DCD staff continue to encourage agencies
to collaborate and coordinate to avoid duplication and to provide more efficient services to their clients
or target populations.
Resources: Resources are generally less than required to meet the level of need. The
CDBG/HOME/ESG/HOPWA funds that are available are prioritized to the high Priority Needs and Goals
established in the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan. Funding is also prioritized to those undertakings that
represent the most efficient use of funds, are delivered by the most qualified persons, and serve the broadest
area. Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County has incorporated the requirements of the lead-based paint regulations (24 CFR PART 35)
into its affected programs, including the homeowner and rental rehabilitation programs. These
programs developed implementation plans that include procedures to test for lead-based paint,
determine a scope of work to address lead-based paint hazards, ensure qualified contractors are
performing the required work, and obtain a clearance examination at project completion.
CAPER 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Additionally, the County's Neighborhood Preservation Program, a home rehabilitation program,
provides grants to homeowners who have received rehabilitation loans and need to abate lead hazards.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The movement of people to above the poverty line involves a variety of policies and programs that
extend beyond providing opportunities for employment at a living wage. Access to education,
transportation, childcare, and housing are also key components that can assist persons to secure and
retain economically self-sustaining employment. The County employs a variety of strategies to help
alleviate poverty in the Urban County, including efforts to stimulate economic growth and job
opportunities, and to provide Urban County residents with the skills and abilities required to take
advantage of those opportunities.
In FY 2020/21, the CDBG program provided funds for three job training and placement programs:
• Opportunity Junction's Bay Point Career Development Services program (20-29-ED) and Job
Training and Placement program (20-36-ED) provided personalized vocational training and job
placement for persons to establish careers in information technology and office administration.
• Multicultural Institute's Lifeskills/Day Labor program (20-28-ED) provided job-matching,
individualized assistance with health, legal and educational needs.
In FY 2020/21, the CDBG program provided funds for a number of programs that do not aid in
employment, but are crucial to the reduction of poverty:
• Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity's Tenant-Landlord Housing Services Collaboration
program (20-02-PS) provided information and counseling to County tenants on their housing
rights.
• CocoKids Road to Success program (20-34-ED) provided microenterprise assistance to low-
income residents seeking to start or maintain licensed home-based family child care businesses.
• The City of Lafayette’s Lamorinda Spirit Van Senior Transportation Program (20-13-PS) provided
transportation to the elderly so that they may maintain their normal lifestyle and age in their
homes.
• Mount Diablo Unified School District's CARES After School Enrichment Program (20-24-PS)
provided after-school childcare and enrichment to elementary and middle school students.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
DCD continues to provide technical assistance to non-profits to build capacity and assist in the
development of programs and projects designed to meet the County’s Consolidated Plan objectives
through individual meetings and workshops held during the program year. Further, the Department
works with non-profits to achieve designation as a Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO) and/or Community Based Development Organization (CBDO) for purposes of participating in the
Consortium HOME and County CDBG affordable housing programs.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and
social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County’s efforts to coordinate activities and strategies for affordable housing development and the
provision of emergency and transitional housing and supportive services included cooperative planning
efforts as well as participation in a number of countywide housing and service provider organizations.
Planning efforts undertaken during FY 2020/21 included the following:
• Contra Costa Consortium members continued to work on strategies and actions designed to
overcome identified impediments and eliminate problems of housing discrimination in Contra
Costa.
• The Continuum of Care and the Council on Homelessness worked with Contra Costa
jurisdictions, public and private agencies, the interfaith community, homeless advocacy groups
and other community organizations to implement the Continuum of Care Plan, which includes
strategies and programs designed to alleviate homelessness, and the Ten Year Plan to End
Homelessness.
• In addition to the above, the County participated in a number of countywide housing and
service provider organizations, which are intended to share resources and coordinate strategies
and programs for affordable housing and community development activities.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
Urban County staff, along with staff from the other Contra Costa CDBG entitlement jurisdictions
(Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek), worked together to prepare the Contra Costa
Consortium Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). This document outlines and
identifies barriers to fair housing and presents a plan to properly navigate them. An update of the AI was
completed and approved by each Contra Costa CDBG entitlement jurisdiction in 2019. The AI is effective
July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025, and is available on the County website at:
https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/4823/Community-Development-Block-Grant
To address impediments identified in the study, the AI offers the following set of goals and actions.
1. Increase available financial resources for affordable housing in order to better fund efforts to
foster stable residential integration and increased access to opportunity.
i. Explore a countywide affordable housing bond issuance that includes efforts to
develop permanent supportive housing, to build affordable housing for families, and
to preserve affordable housing in areas undergoing gentrification and displacement.
Efforts to support a bond issue could include the posting of informational materials
regarding the need for affordable housing and the possible uses of bond
proceedings on government agency websites.
ii. If bond does not pass, consider other sources for a County-wide housing trust fund.
CAPER 35
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
2. Provide for the production of additional affordable housing through market incentives and
improvements.

housing in high-opportunity areas (such as new bond measures or LIHTC
development), in order to increase access to designated opportunity areas with low
poverty rates, healthy neighborhoods, and high-performing schools among
subsidized households.
iii. Consider any affordable housing funding sources (including new sources such as
bond funds) that create balance in the location of affordable housing throughout
the county, by supporting the creation of affordable units, in particular for families,
in high-opportunity areas.
4. Increase the supply of permanent supportive housing for people with disabilities and services for
people with disabilities
i. To the extent practicable, use affordable housing funds for the construction of
permanent supportive housing in developments in which 10-25% of units are set
aside for persons with disabilities. Affirmatively market units to individuals with
intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and service providers,
such as the Regional Center of the East Bay.
ii. Explore methods for nonprofit partners to assist in purchasing or master leasing
affordable units within inclusionary market-rate developments, and set a portion of
those units aside for persons with disabilities.
iii. Explore funding options for continuing community-based services for possible
expansion of services, particularly for persons with psychiatric disabilities.
5. Reduce housing discrimination and discriminatory barriers to residential mobility.
i. Educate landlords on criminal background screening in rental housing (using HUD
fair housing guidance) and explore the feasibility of adopting ordinances.
ii. Develop and disseminate a best practices guide to credit screening in the rental
housing context in order to discourage the use of strict FICO score cut-offs and
overreliance on eviction records.

reasonable accommodation requests.
6. Address barriers to mobility for families and individuals in publicly-supported housing, including
Housing Choice Voucher participants.
i. Provide mobility counseling and updated briefing materials to families with or
eligible for Housing Choice Vouchers, including with regard to healthy
neighborhoods and high-performing, low poverty schools.
ii. Provide block grant or other funding for security deposits (including for voucher
holders).
iii. Require developers to affirmatively market affordable units (especially in
opportunity areas) to voucher holders throughout the county.
iv. Implement measures to address source of income discrimination against Housing
Choice Voucher participants and landlord reluctance to participate in the HCV
program, including increased landlord support and contact, production of an
owner’s packet, and outreach and education (including workshops).
7. Reduce the displacement of low-income communities of color by enhancing protections for
vulnerable tenants and homeowners and preserving affordable housing in areas that are
gentrifying or at risk of gentrification.
i. Explore the development of displacement mitigation or replacement requirements
for any rezoning activities that could displace existing residents.
ii. Explore the feasibility of adopting tenant protections, such as relocation costs,
increased noticing, just cause, and rent control ordinances (as permitted by state
law), to cover the unincorporated areas of the County and the Cities of Antioch,
Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek.
iii. Continue funding and support multi-agency collaborative efforts for legal services,
including organizations that do not receive Legal Services Corporation funding and
are able to represent undocumented residents.
iv. In tandem with investments in affordable housing development in low-poverty
areas, provide funds for the preservation of affordable housing in areas that are
undergoing gentrification or are at risk of gentrification, in particular in areas of high
environmental health.
v. Encourage the donation of municipally-owned, tax-foreclosed properties to non-
profit community land trusts to be rehabilitated, as needed, and preserved for long-
term affordable housing.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in
furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements
of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the
comprehensive planning requirements
The County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is responsible for administration of
the following federally funded programs: CDBG, HOME, NSP, ESG and HOPWA. All projects funded
through these programs are monitored by DCD to ensure that the projects achieve their approved
objectives in a manner consistent with federal regulations, the Consolidated Plan, and other local
planning requirements. DCD's monitoring process consists of the following:
• Prior to funding consideration, all project applications are reviewed to ensure consistency with
federal regulations, Board of Supervisor policy, the Consolidated Plan, the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (if applicable) and the County Housing Element (if
applicable).
• All project sponsors receiving an allocation of CDBG, HOME, NSP, HOPWA and/or ESG funds are
required to enter into Project Agreements which specify project objectives, scope of work,
eligible activities, performance targets, project budget, implementation time frame, federal
regulatory requirements, and monitoring and reporting requirements.
• During project implementation, project sponsors are required to submit periodic progress
reports detailing project progress, significant problems encountered (and their resolution),
project funding and expenditures, affirmative marketing activity and quantitative participation
data that illustrates findings on the amount of outreach to women and minority-owned
businesses. In addition, projects are monitored as applicable for compliance with federal
accounting and procurement standards, labor and construction standards, relocation,
affirmative marketing, equal opportunity, fair housing, and other federal requirements.
• Following project completion, project sponsors are required to submit Project Completion
Reports identifying: project accomplishments; population served, including data on household
characteristics (e.g., income, ethnicity); rent and/or housing affordability; and total sources and
uses of funds.
Affordable housing development projects (e.g., acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction) must also
submit annual compliance reports designed to ensure continued compliance with federal regulations,
affordability and use restrictions, and other requirements as specified in the project loan documents. In
addition, all HOME-assisted projects are subject to periodic onsite inspections to ensure continued
compliance with local housing code.

Contra Costa County set a minimum 15-day comment period for citizen participation and to receive
comments on the CAPER. Notices announcing the public hearing date to consider acceptance of the
CAPER are posted in local newspapers, as well as the County website at least 15 days prior to the public
hearing date. A notice announcing the draft of the CAPER and the public hearing date for the CAPER was
published on the County website and in the Contra Costa Times on September 5, 2021. The County’s
Board of Supervisors accepted the FY 2020/21 CAPER at its September 21, 2021 meeting. There were no
public comments received prior to or at the September 21, 2021 Board of Supervisors meeting. The
draft CAPER was made available for review at the County’s Department of Conservation and

CR-50 - HOME 91.520(d)
Include the results of on-site inspections of affordable rental housing assisted under
the program to determine compliance with housing codes and other applicable
regulations
Please list those projects that should have been inspected on-site this program year based upon
the schedule in §92.504(d). Indicate which of these were inspected and a summary of issues that
were detected during the inspection. For those that were not inspected, please indicate the
reason and how you will remedy the situation.
Effective January 24, 2015, participating jurisdictions are now required to inspect rental projects funded
with HOME funds at least once every three years during the required period of affordability. DCD staff
monitors units in one of the three regions of the County (East, Central and West) each year. Staff
inspects 15 percent, or no fewer than four, of the HOME-assisted units for each monitored project.
Copies of the inspection reports are maintained at the DCD offices.
During FY 2019/20, the County requested waivers and suspensions of HOME program requirements as a
result of COVID-19. The waiver requested included the requirement for ongoing on-site inspections of
HOME-assisted rental units. This waiver extends the timeframe for PJs to perform on-going periodic
inspections and on-site reviews to determine a HOME rental project’s compliance with property
standards and rent and income requirements. This waiver was in effect through December 31, 2020, and
was subsequently extended to include additional waivers and suspensions and extended the effective
date through September 30, 2021. The County requested the additional waivers, suspensions, and
extension deadline. The ongoing project inspections and file review that was suspended will be
completed in the following reporting year.
During FY 2020/21, the County performed on-site physical inspections of 10 units in two newly
completed projects. Concurrent with the on-site physical inspections, DCD staff inspects tenant files to
ensure the management company complies with the HOME program and local County requirements.
The review includes income certifications, rent and utility allowance calculations, appropriate tenant
lease provisions, and the annual project audit and operating budget. For all projects with failed units,
the County works with the owner and property management company to bring the unit in compliance
within 30 days. The following table summarizes the on-site physical inspections completed during the
fiscal year:

Provide an assessment of the jurisdiction's affirmative marketing actions for HOME
units. 92.351(b)
The objective of affirmative marketing is to promote equal access to housing by all groups within the
market area. The County has adopted the following policies and measures:
Information concerning the availability of funding, housing opportunities, and fair housing and
affirmative marketing requirements will be distributed to the general public; all jurisdictions and housing
agencies located in the County; property owners and developers of affordable housing; and minority
and public interest groups.
Notices of funds available are posted on the County website at http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/CDBG
Informational material describing the HOME, CDBG, NSP, HOPWA and ESG Programs is available at
http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/aff-hsg-dev (for developers)
http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/affordablehousing (for consumers).
The County will maintain records concerning the above activities, including copies of press releases,
affirmative marketing materials distributed, and workshops and meetings held with the above groups
and organizations.
The County requires owners of federally assisted housing to comply with federal fair housing law and
employ the following affirmative marketing activities:
• Advertise the availability of assisted units in local newspapers and newsletters, such as those
published by minority groups, neighborhood churches, public service organizations, etc.; and on
bulletin boards in community gathering spots (e.g. community center, church, supermarket,
laundromat, fair housing/housing counseling agency, and employment offices).
• Contact appropriate community organizations and representatives of minority and other
disadvantaged groups to solicit tenants and provide information about the availability of the
assisted units.
• Display the Equal Housing Opportunity logo at the project location and in all advertisements
pertaining to assisted units.
Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects,
including the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics
The amount of HOME program income (PI) received in FY 2020/21 was $1,575,296. The amount of
HOME PI used on projects during FY 2020/21 was $225,692, which includes PI from previous years. The
PI was expended for HOME Program Administration, Saint Paul’s Commons, Antioch Scattered Site
Renovation, Veterans Square, and Riley Court projects. The unexpended PI funds will be allocated to a
housing development project during the FY 20/22/23 Action Plan cycle.

Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. 91.220(k)
(STATES ONLY: Including the coordination of LIHTC with the development of
affordable housing). 91.320(j)
Market factors such as the high cost of land suitable for residential development and unprecedented
high construction costs continue to be significant constraints on the development of affordable
housing in Contra Costa. In addition, the unavilabilty of local (non-federal) funding available for
predevelopment costs has made it much more difficult to obtain funding for affordable housing
development. The County attempts to counter these factors with strategies and subsidy programs to
develop affordable rental housing and homeownership opportunities, for example:
• The County applied and received State Local Early Action Plan (LEAP) Grant funds to initiate new
housing programs.
• Behavioral Health Services is the lead County department to apply to State of California No Place
Like Home funds (both competitive and non-competitive funds) for permanent supportive
housing development.
• The County has an multifamily housing revenue bond program that allows developers to finance
projects at tax-exempt rates and access 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits.
• The County has a density bonus ordinance to permit increased densities for housing
developments that include units affordable to low-income households.
• The County adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance which requires developers to provide 15
percent of the units as affordable to moderate, low, or very-low income households.
Discussion regarding the County’s efforts to affirmatively further fair housing can be found in Section
CR-35.

11. Project Outcomes Data measured under the performance standards developed in
consultation with the CoC(s)
Annual Performance Measures focus on the outcomes for consumers who access the system of care. HUD
pulls data each year from every CoC’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Database to
generate Systems Performance Measures results. These measures are used to track progress across all HUD-
funded programs and to determine funding for each CoC for the following year. The Performance Measures
are run for Fiscal Years, October 1 to September 30.
HUD has developed the following seven system-level performance measures to help communities gauge their
progress in preventing and ending homelessness: 1. Length of time persons remain homeless; 2. The extent
to which persons who exit homelessness to permanent housing destinations return to homelessness; 3.
Number of homeless persons; 4. Jobs and income growth for homeless persons in CoC; 5. Number of persons
who become homeless for the first time; 6. Homelessness prevention and housing placement of persons
defined by Category 3 of HUD’s homeless definition for CoC Program-funded projects; and, 7. Successful
housing placement.
Annual Performance Measures focus on the outcomes for consumers who access the system of care and are
required and monitored by HUD. The high-level findings of the 2018 Performance Measures is summarized
below:
Since the implementation of the CoC's Coordinated Entry System, Contra Costa County experienced an
increase in the number of people accessing the CoC, specifically the more vulnerable populations including
chronically homeless, seniors, and people with disabilities. This increase contributed to more people being
identified in the PIT counts (Measure Three) and a longer length of time persons experienced homelessness
(Measure One). However, the number of people who exited to housing increased as well (Measure Two).
Earned income for both system-stayers and system-leavers increased (Measure Four). Little to no difference
was found in the number of consumers using shelter or housing programs who were newly homeless
(Measure Five). During the last three years, there has been a high proportion of consumers who were hitting
the system of care for the first time. There were far more successful exits from outreach (Measure Seven)
because there were far more people served and the greater linkages between CORE Outreach and
CAPER 50
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
emergency shelter programs. Housing retention rates in permanent supportive housing remained above 96%

County
Subject:Adoption of 2021-22 Secured Property Tax Rates and Authorization to Levy the 2021-22 Property Tax Roll
BACKGROUND:
Under Government Code Section 29100, the Board of Supervisors (Board) is responsible for the
adoption by resolution of the tax rates for the current year secured property tax roll. The General
Obligation Bond rates are provided by the Auditor-Controller at a level adequate to support the annual
debt service requirements and necessary bond reserves. Government Code Section 29101 requires that
the Board levy these rates on the appropriate taxable property in the County. Revenue and Taxation
Code Section 100(b) provides for the tax rate to be applied to the Unitary and Operating Non-Unitary
property.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this action will result in the County not being in compliance with Government Code
Section 29101 and this will result in the loss of over $2.6 billion in property tax revenues.
ATTACHMENTS

County
Subject:Martinez Unified School District General Obligation Bonds, Election of 2016, Series 2021
BACKGROUND:
The Martinez Unified School District intends to issue $30,000,000 General Obligation bonds to fund
capital improvements throughout the District. The District has requested that the Board of Supervisors
adopt a resolution authorizing the direct issuance and sale of bonds by the District on its own behalf
pursuant to Sections 15140 and 15146 of the Education Code, as permitted by Section 53508.7(c) of the
Government Code. The District adopted a resolution on September 13, 2021 authorizing the sale and
issuance of the bonds.
This issuance was approved by the voters as part of a bond measure listed on the November 8, 2016
ballot authorizing a total of $120,000,000 "...“to modernize, construct and/or renovate
classrooms, restrooms and school facilities at elementary schools; improve student
access to modern technology; upgrade inadequate electrical systems; replace
deteriorating plumbing systems; construct career/technical education classrooms,
including science labs; and replace leaky roofs...".
The Series 2021 bonds will be the final tranche of bonds related to the November 8, 2016 authorization.
The District previously issued bonds in the amount of $30,000,000 in 2017, 2019 and 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors authorization, the School District will not be
able to issue the bonds.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The recommendation supports the following Children's Report Card outcome: Communities that are
Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

Subject:Small Business Enterprise & Outreach Program and Local Bid Preference Program Reports for Jul-Dec 2020
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The objective of the program is to award at least 50% or more of the total eligible dollar base amounts to SBEs. A Small
Business Enterprise, as defined by the California Government Code, Section 14837, Chapter 3.5 must be:
Independently owned and operated business, which is not dominant in its field of operation;
The principal office of which is located in California, the officers of which are domiciled in
California, and which together with affiliates, has 100 or fewer employees;
And have average annual gross receipts of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) or less over the
previous three tax years, or a manufacturer with 100 or fewer employees.
Reporting Requirements
It is the responsibility of each County department to track and compile the data on these purchasing activities so a countywide
report can be provided to the Board of Supervisors.
The Internal Operations Committee has responsibility for evaluating the semi-annual reports and making recommendations to
the Board on program policies and reporting. The Board receives reports in six-month increments, with the last report
submitted to the Board for the period ending June 2020. Attachment A constitutes the report due for the time period of July 1
- December 31, 2020. The table below summarizes the attached department activity on a countywide basis.

While the County did not achieve the 50% goal, this information shows the County directed more than $11.5 million in
qualifying transactions to SBE firms during the six-month reporting period, achieving a 38.9% award rate for
professional/personal services transactions and a 29.1% award rate for purchasing transactions. No construction contracts
were reported in this period.
It is worth noting that the SBE participation goals of surrounding agencies are typically in the 20-25% range. By that measure,
Contra Costa County’s reported activity is below that threshold for professional/personal services, and above that range for
purchasing transactions. The following departments are commended for achieving 50% or more program compliance this
reporting period:
Professional/Personal Services: Clerk Recorder-Elections, Conservation and Development, County
Administrator - Clerk of the Board, District Attorney and Probation

Subject:MODIFICATIONS TO THE BYLAWS OF THE COUNTY'S MENTAL HEALTH COMMISSION
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The current MHC Bylaws provide for the following in terms of vacancies and recruitment:
ARTICLE IV, SECTION 4. VACANCIES AND RECRUITMENT
4.1 Role of the Commission
At the discretion of and to the extent requested by the Board, the Commission
shall be involved in the recruitment and screening of applicants. When an
application is received, the Commission will appoint an Ad Hoc Applicant
Interview Committee, pursuant to Article VIII, Section 5.1. Following an
interview by the Ad Hoc Applicant Interview Committee, it will forward its
recommendation to the Commission. After Commission vote and approval, the
recommendation for nomination of the applicant shall be forwarded to the
appropriate member of the Board of Supervisors for that Supervisor's
consideration.
4.2 Applications The Commission shall receive applications on an ongoing
basis.
4.3 Commission Recommendation
a) Pursuant to Article IV, section 1.2, the Commission shall, to the extent
possible, recommend for appointment those persons who will assist the
County in complying with the ethnic and demographic mandates in the
Welfare & Institutions Code.
b) To the extent possible, the Commission shall recommend for
appointment applicants who have experience and knowledge of the mental
health system, preferably in the County.
In practice, members of the Board of Supervisors interview applicants, ensure that they meet the
requirements of Commission membership, and encourage them to attend MHC meetings prior to
appointment. However, Supervisors have not recently requested that the Commission appoint an Ad
Hoc Applicant Interview Committee or asked them to make recommendations for nominations.
Supervisor Candace Andersen, the representative of the Board of Supervisors on the MHC, met with
MHC Chair Graham Wiseman. It was agreed that the provision in the bylaws regarding an Ad Hoc
committee making recommendations for appointment created confusion, and Supervisor Andersen
suggested that the bylaws be amended to reflect the current practice. The MHC voted to forward
suggested modifed language to the Internal Operations Committee for consideration.
The MHC additionally voted to amend its bylaws pertaining to meeting attendance, to provide for
excusal of certain absences and to clarify that excused absences will not be counted towards constructive
resignation, and also forwarded that language to the Internal Operations Committee.
The Internal Operations Committee discussed the proposed amendments at its regular July and
September meetings and made additional changes to the amendments proposed by the MHC. County
Counsel reviewed language recommended by the Internal Operations Committee to verify it is reflective
Counsel reviewed language recommended by the Internal Operations Committee to verify it is reflective

RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to make a deduction from special tax proceeds at the rate of $0.09 per
special assessment and credit that amount to the Assessor's account 1600-9607, pursuant to Board
Resolution No. 84/332.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action would allow the County to recover costs incurred in collecting special taxes on behalf of local
agencies.
BACKGROUND:
The Assessor has developed and attempted to maintain parcel use codes for the internal use of this office
and is not required to maintain such codes for other purposes. Local agencies imposing special taxes have
made use of the parcel use codes in collecting special taxes. Government Code Sections 50077 (b) and
53978 (d) authorize the County to deduct from special tax proceeds its reasonable costs incurred in
collecting special taxes on behalf of local agencies.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Denial of this action would prevent the County from recovering its costs incurred in collecting special taxes
on behalf of local agencies.
