Activities and Accomplishments
The primary goals of the MAC in 2012 are to increase community awareness and
participation at the monthly MAC meetings.
We successfully scheduled monthly guest speakers, who brought timely and
pertinent information to the folks of our community. Presentations included
speakers from the following groups:
January: No presentation
February: Home Energy Efficiency Program, Marie Taylor
March: Clerk Recorder, Barbara Chambers
April: Delta Science Center, Dr. Michael Painter
May: No presentation
June: Animal Services, Director Glenn Howard and
Postal Services, Dann Myers
July: East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, Chief Henderson
August: Rental Inspection Program, Jason Crapo and
Delta Science Center, Roni Gehlke
September: Contra Costa County Supervisor Piepho, District III
October: No presentation
November: East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, Chief Henderson
December: Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, Lt. Johson
The MAC board’s activities and efforts have resulted in some major improvement
and changes in 2011:
1. MAC continues working with East Contra Costa Fire Protection District,
promoting the sale and installation of reflective house number signs that
allow the firefighters easier location of island addresses. To date, we
have installed more than 360 signs on island resident properties.
2. The MAC Board is currently working with community residents and Marine
Patrol to add additional signage to our local waterways.
3. The island-wide “DRY HYDRANT” water system is underway. This
system will allow the fire department access to filtered Delta water at
various locations on our levees. This will greatly aid firefighters in our
community during fire emergencies.
4. MAC members regularly meet with the Contra Costa County Code
Enforcement group to establish a list of enforcement priorities that meet
the needs of the community, as well as the county enforcement folks.
5. The island Emergency Preparedness group hosted a Safety Fair this year
and had a good turn out.
6. Continued to work with BIMID on a town hall meeting about “Island
Evacuation”-what to do when sirens sound.
