RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/29 ratifying the County Administrator’s proclamation of a local emergency due to storm and flood.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The initial damage estimates for the County from the uncommon and extreme weather conditions are approximately $1.0 million related to
immediate disaster response activities. Ultimately, more permanent repairs of flood control and drainage culverts impacted by the storms could
range between $3.5 to $4 million. The County does not currently have funds designated for the response and repair of the storm damages,
therefore applying for state or federal relief funds will be necessary, if the oppurtunity becomes available.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California, including Contra Costa County has been responding to extreme and uncommon weather events that began on December
31, 2022. A series of severe rainstorms have led to widespread flooding, mudslides, sinkholes and damage to public infrastructure, including
flood control facilities and roadways across the state. The effects of the storms continue to be dynamic.
These conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the County. The majority of the
damage occurred on or along rural county roads. Flood control infrastructure also experienced storm-related damage. Public building and park
facilities suffered relatively minimal impact from the storms to date.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Proclamation of Local Emergency Due to Uncommon and Extreme Weather in Contra Costa County
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
County Administrator Issues Emergency Proclamation
In response to the damage from the storms, the County Administrator issued an emergency proclamation on January 10, 2023, which will
allow the County to seek reimbursement from state and federal sources if authorized. The County was subsequently added to the statewide
emergency declaration the following day - January 11, 2023. The County Administrator's proclamation makes certain findings, including:
Conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within the County, caused by
uncommon and extreme weather conditions consisting of heavy rainfall and high winds, causing flooding,
downed trees, damage to flood control infrastructure and County roads, and related damage Countywide.
1.
These conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and
facilities of the County.
2.
The County is incurring financial impacts from the uncommon and extreme weather conditions that will
likely exceed available financial resources necessitating state and federal financial assistance.
3.
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa is not in session (and cannot immediately be
called into session).
4.
The County Administrator has conferred with one or more members of the Board of Supervisors.5.
No Federal and State Cost Recovery Authorized
Currently, the federal emergency declaration approved for the State of California does not include authorization for federal financial
reimbursements pursuant to the Stafford Act for costs incurred related to the storm response. It is unclear at this time whether the federal
government will modify it's authorization to provide for federal financial support to the state, including local governmental entities impacted
by and responding to the storm damage. Should that happen, FEMA would establish a statewide cost impact threshold that must be met
prior to being eligible for cost recovery. Even assuming that happens, the Stafford Act only provides 75% federal reimbursement of costs
incurred. The remaining 25% would be the responsibility of the local government, unless the state offsets a portion of that 25%, which is
unlikely.
Impacts to the Unincorporated Area
Since storms began on December 31, 2022, the Public Works Department has been responding to isolated mudslides, localized flooding,
downed trees and drainage issues throughout the county, along with intermittent or continuous road closures including as many as fourteen
(14) roads located throughout the county. There have additionally been isolated issues related to County buildings/facilities including 5555
Giant Hwy (West County Detention Facility), 12000 Marsh Creek Rd (Detention Facility) and multiple other buildings/facilities. Public
Works crews continue to respond to items as they are reported.
Initial damage assessment cost estimates for Public Works to date for immediate storm response to road related issues such as
rock/mudslides, downed trees, localized flooding and sinkholes throughout the county is approximately $1 million dollars. Initial estimates
to permanently address known damage in this category is approximately $3.5 to $4 million. Initial damage assessment estimates to county
buildings and facilities are approximately $150,000-$200,000. There will undoubtedly be additional costs to address unknown or not fully
identified impacts from these storm events such as significant potholes and pavement damage that result from significant oversaturation and
localized flooding throughout our county road network. Many of these infrastructure issues will continue to be present for months
following the conclusion of the storm event.
Today's action requests that the Board of Supervisors ratify the actions of the County Administrator on January 10, 2022 proclaiming a
local emergency due to storm and flood conditions within the County. Representatives from the Office of Emergency Services, Public
Works Department and National Weather Service will provide updates on the current impacts to the County. In addition, representatives
from the Employment and Human Services and Health Services Departments will be available to answer questions about temporary
expansion of the County's existing shelter network to accommodate unsheltered populations impacted by the inclement weather.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The attached proclamation of a local emergency is necessary to potentially claim reimbursement for cost impacts incurred as part of
responding to the storms.

IN THE MATTER OF: Ratifying the County Administrator’s Proclamation of Local Emergency (Gov. Code, § 8630)
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County RESOLVES as follows:
Section 42-2.802 of the County Ordinance Code empowers the County Administrator, as the Administrator of Emergency
Services, to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when the County is affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity
and the Board is not in session. To remain in effect for a period in excess of seven days, a local emergency proclaimed by the
County Administrator must be ratified by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors hereby finds that:
Conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within the County, caused by
uncommon and extreme storm conditions consisting of heavy rainfall and high winds, causing sustained runoff and
flooding, downed trees, damage to flood control infrastructure and County roads, and related damage Countywide.
1.
These conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property warranted and necessitated the
proclamation of the existence of a local emergency.
2.
The County Administrator proclaimed a local emergency within the County on January 10, 2023, after conferring with one
or more members of this Board.
3.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the proclamation of a local emergency, as issued by the County
Administrator, is ratified by this Board.
IT IS FURTHER PROCLAIMED that the local emergency shall be deemed to continue to exist until its termination is
proclaimed by this Board, subject to this Board’s reviewing the need for continuing this proclamation of local emergency at least
every 60 days.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER waiving the 180-day sit-out period for Senior Inspectors Tim Jung and James Alexander, in the District Attorney’s Office; FIND
that the appointments of Mr. Jung and Mr. Alexander are necessary to fill critically needed positions; and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the
hiring of retirees Tim Jung and James Alexander as temporary county employees for the period January 18, 2023 through June 30, 2023, as
recommended by the District Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost for both temporary employees is $200,000. Sufficient funds will be appropriated and available in the District Attorney’s
budget through vacancy savings.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Employee’s Pension Reform Act of 2013 requires that active members who retire on or after January 1, 2013, must wait 180 days
after retirement before returning to work as a temporary employee. The Act also allows the Board, based on findings that the appointment is
necessary to fill critically needed positions, to waive the 180-day “sit-out” period.

Subject:Waiver of 180-day Separation Period and Temporary Hire of Two (2) CCCERA Retirees in the District Attorney’s Office
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Senior Inspector Tim Jung retired from County service on 12/15/2022. He was one of the senior members of the District Attorney/FBI Safe
Streets Task Force (SSTF). The SSTF is tasked with investigating violent gang crime throughout the entire County. As a senior member of the
SSTF, Senior Inspector Jung performed critical operational and logistical tasks that no other investigator is qualified to perform.
Senior Inspector Jim Alexander retired from County service on November 11, 2022. He was an experienced investigator who was assigned to
the Homicide Unit within the District Attorney’s Office. During the pandemic, homicide trials slowed down significantly. However, homicide
trials are resuming at pre-pandemic levels again. Practically speaking, this means Senior Inspector Alexander’s retirement came at a time when
activity in the Homicide Unit started to return to pre-pandemic levels, albeit with less staffing. Additionally, a Senior Inspector in the Homicide
Unit is required to forge relationships with law enforcement witnesses, reluctant civilian witnesses, and victim families—all of which are
necessary for the successful prosecution of murder cases. At the time of his retirement, Senior Inspector Alexander had a caseload of at least 15
pending murder cases.
One of the most critical functions performed by the District Attorney is the investigation of Law Enforcement Involved Fatal Incidents (LEIFI).
When a fatal officer involved shooting or in custody death occurs, the District Attorney sends a team of her most qualified senior inspectors to
investigate the incident. Senior Inspectors Jung and Alexander both served as lead investigators in the investigation of LEIFI incidents. Their
absence from this function will add to the workload of existing senior inspectors.
The temporary hire of experienced senior inspectors Tim Jung and Jim Alexander will allow the District Attorney's Office to immediately
backfill for critical operational functions within the organization. The Department is in the process of recruiting for Senior Inspector positions.
Senior Inspectors Jung and Alexander will also help and train the next incumbents that will take over their various responsibilities in the
future.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Critical operational functions within the District Attorney’s Office will be inhibited which could negatively impact high level gang
investigations and the prosecution of felony crimes.

In the matter of:Resolution No. 2023/16
Proclaiming January 2023 as Human Trafficking Prevention Month
WHEREAS, human trafficking is a form of interpersonal violence in which force, fraud or coercion is used
to control victims for the purpose of commercial sexual and labor exploitation, and occurs in many
industries, affecting individuals of all genders, ages and backgrounds; and
WHEREAS, human trafficking is a lucrative and fast-growing criminal industry which relies upon
exploitive and sometimes violent tactics to target vulnerable members of our communities; and
WHEREAS, the crime of human trafficking violates an individual's privacy, dignity, security and humanity
due to the systematic use of physical, emotional, sexual, psychological and economic exploitation, control
and abuse; and
WHEREAS, the impact of human trafficking is wide-ranging, affecting foreign nationals as well as U.S.
citizens, and society as a whole and, though awareness and concern around this industry has grown in recent
years, human trafficking is consistently underreported; and
WHEREAS, in 2020, 16,658 human trafficking victims[1] were identified nationwide through reports to the
National Human Trafficking Resource Center, and California led all other states in reported cases of human
trafficking, accounting for nearly 13% of all such reported cases; and
WHEREAS, the County’s Alliance to End Abuse convened the Contra Costa Human Trafficking Coalition
with the aim of strengthening the County’s comprehensive response to human trafficking initiated by
County departments, law enforcement agencies, and numerous community-based organizations; and
WHEREAS, the Contra Costa Human Trafficking Task Force, jointly led by Community Violence
Solutions and the District Attorney’s Office, strives to proactively identify and provide services to
survivors, investigate and prosecute all forms of human trafficking, and build capacity within the Task
Force and the communities it serves to respond to and prevent human trafficking using a collaborative
approach involving more than 35 multidisciplinary partners; and
WHEREAS, In Contra Costa County, from April 2019 through December 2021, 108 cases of sex and labor
trafficking were investigated, 207 suspected victims of human trafficking were identified, and the District
Attorney filed 42 human trafficking cases through the collaborative efforts of partners to the Contra Costa
Human Trafficking Task Force; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County is working to raise awareness about human trafficking with the belief
that a more informed public will better understand how behaviors can contribute to a patriarchal culture that
facilitates and tolerates the systemic abuse of vulnerable populations, and will take actions to counter and
prevent human trafficking.
[1] The National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) produces what is widely considered the most comprehensive
and reliable data on human trafficking in the United States. The 2022 and 2021 NHTRC data sets are not yet available, thus 2020
statistics are provided here.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Contra Costa County does hereby proclaim January 2023 as Human Trafficking
Prevention Month, and urges all residents to actively participate in the efforts to both raise awareness of and prevent all forms of
human trafficking. During this month, we recognize the survivors of trafficking, and commit to building a future in which no
person is denied their inherent human rights of freedom and dignity. Let us make it known that human trafficking has no place in
this city, this county, this nation or this world.

Hi Ms. Macedo,

I just noticed that James Pinckney’s term of office on the Board of Trustees will expire on 1/2/23. His seat is one of the
three trustees appointed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. Do you know if he would he like to be
considered for reappointment? Would you recommend that based on his attendance and participation?

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In conjunction with all the above, the AAC provides a forum for the Director of Airports regarding airport policy matters.
The AAC is comprised of thirteen members appointed by the Board of Supervisors who must work and/or reside in Contra Costa County.

Hickman-Smith to the Byron Neighbor seat to a term ending on February 28, 2026. Although staff’s recruitment only resulted in one
applicant for this position, Mr. Hickman-Smith’s extensive aviation background, along with a strong recommendation from another Bryon
Airport tenant, makes Mr. Hickman-Smith an ideal candidate.

2023-24 Proposed State and Federal Legislative Platforms
At the beginning of each two-year legislative cycle, the Board of Supervisors is expected to adopt a State Legislative Platform that
establishes Contra Costa County's priorities and policy positions with regard to potential state legislation and regulation. The State
Legislative Platform includes County-sponsored bill proposals, legislative or regulatory advocacy priorities, and principles that provide
direction and guidance for identification of and advocacy on bills, regulations, and ballot measures which could affect the services,
programs or finances of Contra Costa County. At the same time, the Board of Supervisors also adopts a Federal Legislative Platform that
establishes federal funding needs and policy positions with regard to potential federal legislation and regulation. These Platform documents
are utilized by the County's state and federal lobbyists, elected officials, and staff as the basis for the County's advocacy efforts.
The State and Federal Legislative Platforms are prepared by staff of the County Administrator's Office in collaboration and consultation
with County department heads and other key staff, the County's state and federal advocates, and with input from the Board's
commissions/committees and the public. For the 2023-24 Platforms, CAO staff conducted outreach in the fall of 2022, inviting input so that
draft documents could be reviewed and considered by the Legislation Committee at its November 21, 2022 meeting. Elements of the
Platforms related to the subject matter of the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee (TWIC) were also reviewed by that
committee prior to the Proposed Platforms being presented to the Board of Supervisors for adoption.
Notable changes from the Adopted 2021-22 State Legislative Platform include the following:
Introduction: Demographic data was updated to reflect 2022 data from the State Department of Finance for population estimates.
Graphics were also updated to include latest from Bay Area Equity Atlas. District IV Supervisor was updated to Ken Carlson.
Sponsored Bill Proposals: Two sponsored bill proposals were included. (Note that the last day to submit bill requests to
the Office of Legislative Counsel is January 26, 2023 .)
1. Requested by the Department of Conservation and Development: "Legislation to direct the California Air Resources Board to develop
greenhouse gas inventories for California cities, counties, and special districts. The Legislature should allocate up to $2.5 million for this
purpose." County staff and lobbyists are exploring a partnership with CivicWell (formerly the Local Government Commission), a
nonprofit organization that has developed a similar legislative proposal, to advance the proposal.
Currently, there is no standard protocol that is used across GHG inventories. Having an inventory prepared by the State would ensure that
each jurisdiction is looking at comparable data. In October 2021, the Board of Supervisors signed on to a letter from more than 100 local
governments and stakeholder groups requesting that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) conduct greenhouse gas inventories for all
cities, counties, and special districts in California. In meetings between County staff and CARB staff, CARB has indicated that it does not
anticipate taking on this responsibility absent direction and funding from the Legislature.
2. Requested by Supervisor John Gioia: "Statewide permitting for hauling solid waste by non-franchise haulers. Permits are required for
non-franchise solid waste haulers in unincorporated areas of the County, but no similar requirement exists for cities, which impedes
enforcement of illegal dumping." County staff, advocates, and CSAC staff are soliciting feedback, input, and legislative interest in a bill that
could potentially establish a pilot project allowing Contra Costa County to regulate non-franchise waste haulers throughout the county,
including loads originating within city boundaries.
Advocacy Priorities: Three amendments were incorporated into the Proposed State Platform for 2023-24:
Owing to the Governor's announcement in October regarding the end of the COVID-19 State of Emergency
on February 28, 2023, the advocacy priority related to "COVID-19 Response" was deleted.
Goals of the Measure X Community Advisory Board were added for "Mental Well-Being, Equity in Action,
Healthy Communities, Intergenerational Thriving, and a Welcoming & Safe Community."
"Justice Reform" was also deleted as no significant justice reform proposals by the Legislature or Governor
are anticipated at this time.
Principles and Policy Statements Text Changes:
Substantive changes were proposed by staff to Climate Change, Emergency Preparedness and Response, Finance and Administration,
Human Services, Library, and Transportation. Notable changes include the following:

SUPPORT legislation that enhances health care/mental health care in support of veterans. (p. 20)
SUPPORT legislation that would focus on getting homeless veterans off the street and into housing. (p. 20)

former Supervisor Karen Mitchoff requested the addition of another policy:
SUPPORT legislative efforts to advance the exoneration of the Port Chicago 50. (p. 21)

INTRODUCTION
County Profile
One of the original 27 counties established in California in 1850, Contra Costa County is home to
more than one million people, making it the ninth most populous county in the state. Physically, Contra
Costa is over 733 square miles and extends
from the northeastern shore of the San
Francisco Bay easterly about 50 miles to San
Joaquin County. The County is bordered on
the south and west by Alameda County and
on the north by the Suisun and San Pablo
Bays. The western and northern shorelines
are industrialized, while the interior sections
are suburban/residential, commercial and light industrial.
About 40 percent of the county is under the jurisdiction of 19 incorporated cities and towns, and
large portions of the remaining unincorporated area are part of public park systems and a habitat
conservancy. Contra Costa County is very diverse, with communities that range from small agricultural
places like Byron, with a density of about 200
people per square mile, to urban population
centers like Contra Costa Centre, a bustling
transit village with a density of 8,400 people
per square mile.
With its strategic location as The Capital
of The Northern California Mega-RegionTM and
easy access to suppliers and customers, Contra
Costa is a business destination full of opportunity.
Demographic Highlights
According to the 2022 State Department of Finance data, 1,156,555 people live in Contra Costa
County. 15% of the total population, about 176,941 people, reside in the unincorporated areas of the
county. The median age of County residents is 39 years old. Our population of seniors age 60 or older
is expected to grow by approximately 47% between 2020 and 2050, making this age group our fastest
growing.

44% of County residents are white, with significant proportions of Asian (16.5%) and African American
(8%) people. The Census tracks Latinx ethnicity separately from other populations; in total, the
Hispanic/Latino population makes up approximately 26% of the total population.
Governance
A five-member Board of Supervisors, each elected to four-year terms, serves as the legislative
body of the County, which has a general law form of government. Also elected are the County Assessor,
Auditor-Controller, Clerk-Recorder, District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner and Treasurer-Tax Collector. The
County Administrator, Monica Nino, is appointed by the Board and is responsible for running the day-
to-day business of the County.

Legislative Platform Purpose
The Legislative Platform establishes the priorities, principles, and policy statements of the Contra
Costa County Board of Supervisors and creates the basis for its advocacy efforts, alerting our
legislative partners of the greatest needs of our residents and where we need additional help. The
Platform provides general direction to County departments and agencies, legislative advocates,
delegation members, and the public on our positions on key policy matters that would impact the way
the County does business. The Platform also includes new bill requests for which legislation is sought from
Contra Costa County.
Throughout the legislative session, the County will review and take positions on various policy
and State Budget items. When a recommended position is consistent with existing County policy, as
adopted in the Platform, the CAO’s office or department staff will prepare a County position letter for
signature by the Board Chair.
Contra Costa County has also adopted a Delta Water Platform to identify and promote activities
and policy positions that support the creation of a healthy Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Contra Costa
County uses this Delta Water Platform to guide its actions and advocacy regarding the future of the
Delta.
Mission, Vision, and Values
Contra Costa County has adopted the following Mission, Vision and Values statement:

INTRODUCTION
County Profile
One of the original 27 counties established in California in 1850, Contra Costa County is home to more
than one million people, making it the ninth most populous county in the state. Physically, Contra Costa is
over 733 square miles and extends
from the northeastern shore of the San
Francisco Bay easterly about 50 miles
to San Joaquin County. The County is
bordered on the south and west by
Alameda County and on the north by
the Suisun and San Pablo Bays. The
western and northern shorelines are
highly industrialized, while the interior sections are suburban/residential, commercial and light industrial.
About 40 percent of the county is under the jurisdiction
of 19 incorporated cities and towns, and large portions
of the remaining unincorporated area are part of public
park systems. Most of the population is consolidated
along the major transportation corridors--Interstates 80
and 680, Highways 4 and 24, and the BART lines.
Contra Costa County is also very diverse, with
communities that range from small agricultural towns like
Byron, with a population density of about 200 people per square mile, to urban population centers like
Contra Costa Centre, a bustling transit village with a population density of 8,400 people per square mile.
With its strategic location as The Capital of The Northern California Mega-RegionTM and easy access
to suppliers and customers, Contra Costa County is a business destination full of opportunity.
Demographic Highlights
According to the 2022 State Department of Finance data 1,156,555 people live in Contra Costa County.
15% of Contra Costa’s population, 176,941 people, reside in the unincorporated areas of the county.
The median age of Contra Costa County residents is 39 years old. Our population of seniors age 60 or
older is expected to grow by approximately 47% between 2020 and 2050, making this age group our
fastest growing.

44% of County residents are white, with significant proportions of Asian (16.5%) and African American
(8%) people. The Census tracks Latinx ethnicity separately from other populations; in total, the
Hispanic/Latino population makes up approximately 26% of the total population.
Governance
A five-member Board of Supervisors, each elected to four-year terms, serves as the legislative body of
the County, which has a general law form of government. Also elected are the County Assessor, Auditor-
Controller, Clerk-Recorder, District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner and Treasurer-Tax Collector. The County
Administrator, Monica Nino, is appointed by the Board and is responsible for running the day-to-day
business of the County.

Legislative Platform Purpose
The Legislative Platform establishes the priorities, principles, and policy statements of the Contra
Costa County Board of Supervisors and establishes the basis for its advocacy efforts, alerting our
legislative partners of the greatest needs of our residents and where we need additional help. The
Platform also provides general direction to County departments and agencies, legislative advocates,
delegation members, and the public on our positions on key policy matters that would impact the way
the County does business.
Throughout the legislative session, the County will review and take positions on various policy
and regulatory proposals. When a recommended position is consistent with existing County policy, as
adopted in the Platform, the CAO’s office or department staff will prepare a County position letter for
signature by the Board Chair.
Contra Costa County has also adopted a Delta Water Platform to identify and promote activities
and policy positions that support the creation of a healthy Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Contra Costa
County uses this Delta Water Platform to guide its actions and advocacy regarding the future of the
Delta.
Mission, Vision, and Values
Contra Costa County has adopted the following Mission, Vision and Values statement:

located services that will allow them to age with dignity in their homes.
The campus will include intergenerational services that will allow multiple
generations to learn and grow together in a single location. Research
shows that intergenerational programming provides a myriad of benefits,
including decreased isolation and/or increased connectedness, increased
self-esteem and feelings of worth, increased trust, and an increased sense
of community. This model for aging independently will create a blueprint

that can be used nationwide to meet the challenges our aging population
faces.
On behalf of the County and Choice in Aging, the County’s advocates
assisted in securing a one-time allocation of $10 million in the 2022-23
state budget.
B. GREEN EMPOWERMENT ZONE
In conjunction with Assembly Bill 844 (Grayson) which established a Green
Empowerment Zone for the Northern Waterfront area of the County of
Contra Costa, the County assisted in securing a one-time allocation of $5
million in the 2022-23 state budget for establishment and implementation
of the Zone. The purpose of the Green Empowerment Zone is the
identification of projects and programs that will best utilize public and
private dollars and improve the economic vitality of the area in a
coordinated effort to support the development of the clean energy
economy.
C. 988 CRISIS HOTLINE
In conjunction with AB 988 (Bauer-Kahan), which requires the California
Health and Human Services Agency (CHHSA) to appoint and convene a
state 988 policy advisory group (AG) to advise CHHSA on the
implementation and administration of the five-year plan for the 988 Suicide
Prevention System, the County’s advocates assisted in securing a one-
time allocation of $20 million in the 2022-23 state budget.
II. LEGISLATIVE SUCCESSES
A. AB 2374 (Bauer-Kahan): SPONSORED BILL/CHAPTERED INTO LAW
Illegal dumping has been a serious problem in Contra Costa County—and
throughout California-- for many years. Illegal dumping occurs when solid
wastes are discarded or caused to be dumped or placed on any property,
either public or private, without proper authorization or legitimate purpose.
It is a crime of convenience, usually done for economic gain, and often by
repeat offenders.
Illegal dumping is an increasing problem that poses significant health,
social, environmental, and economic impacts to communities. Specifically,
illegal dumping contributes to a loss of community pride, discourages
investment and development, decreases property values, and increases a
Attachment C
3
community’s vulnerability to crime. Unfortunately, prior penalties have not
served as an adequate deterrent, and prosecuting these cases is
challenging for a variety of reasons.
On behalf of the County, Nielsen Merksamer worked with Assembly
Member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan’s office, to introduce and place on the
Governor’s desk, AB 2374.
AB 2374 increases the maximum fines for illegal dumping of commercial
quantities for persons employing more than 10 full-time employees, and
requires any person convicted of illegal dumping to remove or pay the cost
of removing the waste matter they were convicted of illegally dumping.
B. AB 988 (Bauer-Kahan) SPONSORED BILL/CHAPTERED INTO LAW
Today a person in crisis, in Contra Costa County, is guaranteed a vastly
different response from someone in Modoc County. Comprehensive
system reform is required to ensure first responders, behavioral health
agencies, call centers, and healthcare providers are all providing
consistent and compassionate crisis response across the state.
On behalf of the County, Nielsen Merksamer worked with Assembly
Member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan’s office, to introduce and place on the
Governor’s desk, AB 988.
AB 988 requires the California Health and Human Services Agency
(CHHSA) to appoint and convene a state 988 policy advisory group (AG)
to advise CHHSA on the implementation and administration of the five-
year implementation plan for the 988 Suicide Prevention System. The bill
requires the Office of Emergency Services (OES) to appoint a 988 system
director and convene an advisory board (Board) to guide how 988 is
implemented and made interoperable with 911, including the creation of a
new surcharge for 988 to fund the crisis services. AB 988 requires health
plan and insurer coverage of 988 center services when medically
necessary and without prior authorization.
The bill also establishes a 988 surcharge for the 2023 and 2024 calendar
years at $0.08 per access line per month, and for years beginning January
1, 2025 at an amount based on a specified formula, but not greater than
$0.30 per access line per month. AB 988 also appropriates $300,000 from
the General Fund to the 988 State Suicide and Behavioral Health Crisis
Attachment C
4
Services Fund to the Department of Tax and Fee Administration (DTFA)
for purposes of implementing this bill. The bill included the intent of the
Legislature that the 988 number receives and responds to the anticipated
call volume in the first year of operation for 988 in order to provide crisis
intervention services and crisis care coordination to individuals accessing
988.
C. AB 844 (Grayson) /CHAPTERED INTO LAW
The Bay Area is the second largest oil refining center on the West Coast
and home to five refineries, four of which are in Contra Costa County. In
light of the Governor’s recent executive orders and the potential for the
loss of thousands of high-paying union jobs, it is imperative that a just
transition to clean energy technology be a priority for federal, state, and
local stakeholders.
Nielsen Merksamer and County staff worked with Assembly Member
Grayson’s office on the successful passage of AB 844.
AB 844 authorizes the establishment of the Green Empowerment Zone for
the Northern Waterfront area of the County of Contra Costa (Green
Empowerment Zone) for the purpose of building upon the comparative
advantage provided by the regional concentration of highly-skilled energy
industry workers by prioritizing access to tax incentives, grants, loan
programs, workforce training programs, and private sector investment in
the renewable energy sector.
In addition to these bills, County advocates worked to raise the visibility of the
County and the Delta Counties Coalition (DCC) on water policy throughout the
year, including meeting with our state delegation to discuss the Delta tunnels,
water bonds, and various funding opportunities. County advocates also helped
plan and execute the DCC and Delta Caucus in-person event in December 2022.
County advocates also engaged by submitting written testimony and oral
testimony on a large number of legislative measures that were determined to be
priority County bills. See Attachment A.

III. A LOOK AT 2023
Three years after COVID-19 shuttered our state and the Legislative
process, its seems that the 2023 legislative session will return in earnest to
a full time, fully accessible public process.
County advocates have been engaged on two legislative proposals that
the County would like to sponsor in 2023:
1. A bill to assist localities with GHG emission inventories.
2. A bill to tackle illegal dumping by way of requiring statewide permits
for non-franchise haulers.
County advocates are currently engaged in discussions with member of
the County legislative delegation on these proposals.
The Governor’s proposed budget for the FY 2023-24 will be made public
on or before January 10, 2023. We anticipate a more restrained and
conservative budget than in years past. The Governor has publicly
signaled that he expects state revenues to be less than expected and will
be limiting new programs and on-going revenues. We will share a copy of
the proposed budget with the County Administrator’s Office as soon as it
becomes available.

Re: 2022 Federal Year End Report
Despite a horribly partisan Congress immobilized by internal and external factors and marked
by the lingering impacts of two impeachment proceedings, the historic events of January 6,
2021, the generational and all-pervasive pandemic, and the prospect of the mid-term elections,
we are pleased to report significant progress on several fronts important to Contra Costa
County.
Unlike most recent years, all federal funding for the year was finalized in time for this report.
Ongoing Army Corps of Engineers Projects
Funding was provided for water resources projects that have been high on the County’s priority
list. Funding can be provided for these projects in one of three ways: 1) Work with the
Administration to have them included in the Army Corps budget request, whereafter such
amounts are routinely approved by Congress; 2) Have them added by Congress in the
appropriations bill through an earmark; and 3) utilize provisions funded in appropriations bills
which provide additional, unallocated funding for the Army Corps, with instructions that the
Corps itself determine how these additional monies are spent as part of a work plan to be
submitted to Congress.
At various times, we have utilized each of these approaches for various of the County’s priority
projects.
The Administration budget request submitted to Congress in March (later than normal because
the FY 22 Appropriations measures weren’t enacted until just prior in the calendar year)
included $3.045 million for maintenance dredging of San Pablo Bay and Mare Island Strait, and
$6.293 million for the maintenance dredging of Suisun Bay Channel. No effort was undertaken
Year End Report January 13, 2023
Attachment D
Page 2
to increase these amounts via Congressional earmark. If it is determined that those amounts
are inadequate, which we have not understood them to be, such an effort to increase them in
the work plan now being developed by the Corps, will be undertaken.
Advocacy Related to the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta
We have been pleased to work extensively with County officials and staff in advocating before
the federal government to achieve the County’s objectives regarding the Delta. These efforts
have generally been in conjunction with other federal advocates working on behalf of their
clients; specifically the other members of the Delta Counties Coalition (DCC).
Of particular note, when some in the DCC sought to focus on promoting the development of
new water resources as a top priority, we worked with County staff to try and assure that the
DCC keeps as its priority focus its very raison d’etre; the rejection of a Delta conveyance project.
Implementation of Federal Infrastructure Legislation
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was enacted very late in 2021 containing a
multiyear transportation reauthorization bill, addressed various issues raised in the County’s
Federal Platform:
• Has a core principle, the utilization of transportation funding to build stronger
communities
• Increases funding for freight transportation
• Increases funding specifically for rural roads
• Contains funding for stormwater projects
• Reestablishes a federal assistance program specifically for bridges; with both formula
funding and a substantial discretionary account
• Contains various and many provisions intended to address climate change
We worked throughout the year to assure that County staff was current on the implementation
of this legislation and in a position to provide input to the Administration on how best to
administer the programs, and also aware of all opportunities to seek discretionary funding from
the legislation’s programs, as those opportunities became available.
Financial Data Transparency Act
The County expressed to us its concern about a provision that was included in the House-
passed National Defense Authorization Act, and was said to be set for inclusion in the
companion Senate bill as well. As written, this would have required the Municipal Securities
Attachment D
Page 3
Rulemaking Board (MSRB) to establish new, machine-readable financial data reporting
standards for municipal securities market participants separate from the standards established
by the Government Accounting Standards Board.
We facilitated the County’s engagement with the key Senate office behind this effort; the first
such input said to have been received by that office. This led to revisions in the language, to
direct the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), rather than the MSRB, to set and
implement these new data standards; a preferable alternative since the SEC is subject to
Congressional oversight and because this doesn’t expand the MSRB’s authority to prescribe
standards for state and local governments as bond issuers.
And while maintaining a two-year time-frame for the SEC to issue these rules, the SEC is also
directed to consult with market participants – such as counties – when drafting them. And they
are required to scale reporting standards for smaller regulated entities and work to assure that
its rules cause minimum disruption.
Congressional Earmarks (Community Project Funding Requests)
2021 (Fiscal Year ’22) saw the return of the solicitation of earmarks in appropriations measures.
We were pleased to assist the excellent efforts of staff of the CAO’s office to help develop a
strategy for maximizing our return on earmark requests, prioritizing our various requests, and
working with our departments in developing their requests and editing their submissions to our
delegation. At the time of last year’s annual report, the Appropriations measures – and so the
fate of our earmark request – had yet to be finalized.
Once a final Appropriations bill was in place, the County received funding of its following
requests:
• $1 million – Contra Costa Crisis Services Hub
• $1,061,522 – Mobile Crisis Response Team Expansion
• $900,000 – Collaborative Care Implementation
• $750,000 - Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan
• $700,000 – Veterans Memorial Building Improvements/DeSaulnier District
• $300,000 – Veterans Memorial Building Improvements/McNerney District
With the FY ’23 Appropriations measures being enacted on December 29, we are in a position
of affirming the successful efforts to secure funding for three of our requests in that legislation:
• $1.18 million – Strategies for Supporting Youth in the Community
• $1 million – Transition Aged Youth Diversion Program
• $5 million – Harmful Algal Blooms Demonstration Program
Attachment D
Page 4
Miscellaneous Advocacy Efforts
In addition to managing the issues on the County’s legislative program, and given the dynamic
nature of events in Washington, we have also brought various matters of interest to the
County’s attention and assisted the County when new matters surfaced that required
communication with, or the input of, our delegation.
Some of the diverse issues we have called to the County’s attention, worked on at the County’s
behalf, or simply informed our Congressional delegation about, include:
• Public Charge letter to the State Department
• Emergency Rental Assistance Program letter to the Treasury Department
• Climate Change letter to our Congressional Delegation
• Letter to Federal Highway Administration on the implementation of the Infrastructure
and Investment Jobs Act
• Letter to Department of Transportation on Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Development
• Provided Information on the SHORRE Act; Shoreline Health Oversight, Restoration,
Resilience, and Enhancement Act
• Letter supporting increased funding for programs under the Older Americans Act
• Support letter for Padilla/Huffman legislation; Post Fire Flooding and Debris Flow Act
• Prepared memo on Federal Behavioral Health Policy Developments
• Support Letter on Congressman DeSaulnier’s Housing Innovation Act
• Delegation Letter on protecting access to hospital care because of inadequate payment
schedule prepared by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
• Assisted with preparation for DCC trip to Washington
• Letter to the President regarding EPA implementation of discharge standards for ship
ballast water
• Materials related to Senate Mental Health Care Integration
• As previously noted, we provided numerous memoranda on funding opportunities
made available pursuant to the IIJA
• Provided our daily TRP Tip Sheet
• Provided our regular government-wide grant announcement news letter
Activities such as these certainly contribute to the long-held perception around Capitol Hill and
elsewhere in Washington that the County is an active participant in federal affairs and that we
serve as the County’s office here in town; a place these offices can trust, knowing they are
communicating – if through an agent – with appropriate County officials.

grade QX5 1001 ($6,015.26- $7,311.59) from 32/40 to 40/40 and cancel one (1) (vacant) Clerk-Senior Level (JWXC) (represented) at salary
plan and grade 3RX 1033 ($3,946.43 - $5,039.75) part-time 20/40 position number 6050 in the Library Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual savings to the Library Fund of approximately $33,394. No fiscal impact to the County general
fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Library has been working on a reallocation of resources to create more efficient staffing at its branch locations. As part of that plan, the
Library has increased or modified hours at various locations, including at the El Sobrante Library. As a result of this change, the Library has
determined that the El Sobrante community would be better served with an additional full-time Librarian at that location. In making this
determination, it also noted that a vacant half-time Clerk-Senior Level position was no longer necessary.
Following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Library worked on evaluating its staffing and scheduling plans to best meet the needs
of patrons. Based on the findings of this evaluation, the Library determined that its community libraries should each have at least a Tuesday
through Saturday schedule. As part of that determination, the Library has been working to adjust schedules of its vacant positions to align with
this new scheduling plan.
The Library has determined that the current, recently vacated part-time Librarian II position located in El Sobrante would better serve the needs
of the public if it was a full-time position. This will allow for more time for more professional library services to be available in the branch and
to provide needed flexibility in service to the community. Additionally, recruitment and retention for a full-time position will be easier than for
a part-time position.

FISCAL IMPACT:
100% General Fund. The cost of adding the Legal Assistant position to the Alternate Defender will be offset with the cancelation of one
Alternate Defender Clerk- Specialist Level position which will be canceled at a later date.
BACKGROUND:
The Alternate Defender provides legal representation of accused indigent individuals where the Public Defender has a legal conflict of interest.
The Alternate Defender handles complex criminal cases that often involve multiple accused individuals, robust electronic discovery, and
complicated legal issues. Currently, the Alternate Defender only has one Legal Assistant who is responsible for providing specialized legal
assistance to all the Alternate Defender attorneys. The limited legal assistant staffing has resulted in inadequate case support for the attorneys,
requiring them to engage in non-attorney work to ensure that they comply with their constitutional mandate to effectively represent clients.

use-related assessment, education, and treatment services. The Counselors serve adult and youth inmates, along with clients who have been
released and receive continuing care in the community. The counselors support all pre-release strategies for inmates to ensure successful
reentry into their community.
Although the position incumbents have been operating within the Behavioral Health division, their respective positions are within the
AODS division. The positons have been charging to the appropriate division, but it requires extra manual administrative work. Therefore, it
is requested that these Substance Abuse Counselor positions be properly allocated to the appropriate Health Services division to continue
the program activities under the appropriate division budget unit.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, these positions will not be properly allocated to the correct department budget unit and continue to require
extra administrative work to charge the appropriate division.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in annual cost savings of $105,509, which includes $26,904 in pension cost savings. The addition of the
Clinical Psychologist position will be fully funded by Mental Health Realignment revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The Utilization Review Unit in the Behavioral Health Division performs concurrent reviews, which is a chart review process outlined by the
Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). The DHCS requires Mental Health Plans to respond to all requests for inpatient psychiatric
admissions within twenty-four hours, including weekends and holidays. The addition of this position is needed to perform inpatient chart
reviews and remain in compliance with Mental Health Plan state regulations. Due to regulation changes, the Behavioral Health Division has also
determined that the vacant Utilization Review Coordinator position, which was last vacated on August 2021, no longer meets its operational
needs and the addition of the Clinical Psychologist position can perform the necessary duties regulated by the DHCS.

an option by mutual consent to extend the license by an additional 25 years. The license agreement expired March 31, 2022, and since the
expiration both parties have been working to extend the term. In accordance with the original agreement, the license agreement extension

County
Subject:Lease of 4300 Delta Gateway Blvd., Pittsburg, for use as Law Enforcement Training Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The City elected to not renew the lease when it expired on December 31, 2022. The proposed new site of the LETC is located at 4300 Delta
Gateway Boulevard in Pittsburg. The new site was identified after an extensive search for a suitable location that could be occupied in early
2023. The new site is a former gym with many of the unique features needed for this specialty operation already in place. Once the planned
tenant improvements are complete, the site will meet all current and anticipated needs of the LETC.
Tenant improvements will be constructed and delivered by the landlord all-inclusive for a turnkey operation. The estimated cost of the tenant
improvements is approximately $2,600,000. The landlord will pay approximately $1,200,000 for the tenant improvements; the County will pay
approximately $1,400,000. The County’s share of the cost of tenant improvements will be paid when the tenant improvements are complete.
The monthly expense incurred under the lease will be comprised of base rent and operating expenses. In the first year of occupancy, the base
rent will equal $49,428 per month and operating expenses are anticipated to be $13,919 per month, for a total of $63,347 per month. Under the
terms of the lease, the County will have four options to renew the lease for a term of five years for each option.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Sheriff’s Office would have to discontinue training activities and programs until another suitable location could be found.
RECOMMENDATION(S):

Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) Choosing Change Program, to study the impact of a psychosocial, community reinforcement approach to
treating patients in recovery for the period June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this grant agreement will result in an amount up to $161,787 payable to the County. No County match is required.
BACKGROUND:
This grant agreement will allow CCHS to collaborate with The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University regarding planning,
training, implementing, evaluating and analyzing data for the Integrated Support Persons Into Recovery (Inspire) study. The study tests whether
engaging the patient’s significant other in an evidence based psychosocial intervention, community reinforcement approach and family training

Subject:Amendment #76-705 with Accruent, LLC
BACKGROUND:
This contract amendment meets the needs of the County by providing Contra Costa Regional Medical Center's (CCRMC) facilities management
with access to Accruent's hosted licensed software via the TMS Online Professional Subscription Agreement made available to subscribed users
over the internet and provides a grant of a license, user access, maintenance and support and documentation, data conversion, education, training,
and consulting stated in an attached Managed Services Order Document. The services procured under this action include program management,
business reviews, a joint commission readiness, and compliance package, as well as e-learning licenses enabling CCRMC's facilities
management to access Accruent's hosted system to track medical devices regarding compliance with records such as calibration, service dates,
repairs, and software maintenance.
The contractor has been providing services since the parties entered into the TMS Online Professional Subscription Service Agreement on
January 19, 2010. This action will allow an amendment to the agreement to change the governing law, arbitration provision, and other
conforming changes. Under the agreement, except concerning indemnification, the contractor's liability will not exceed the amount paid by the
County. During the three-year term of the contract amendment, the County may only terminate the agreement if the board of supervisors fails to
appropriate funds for payments due under the agreement.
Approval of this contract amendment #76-705 allows the contractor to provide hosted software subscription services through January 16, 2026
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, CCRMC’s facilities management will not have the managed services related to the repair, configuration, set up
of new faculties segments, scheduling, tracking and recording, preventative maintenance, calibration, and training regarding the import and
track of its assets. These services are critical in keeping CCRMC current with certification and accreditation to stay in compliance with
regulatory bodies such as the joint commission. The potential of non-compliance may result in adverse effects such as financial losses, license
revocations, business disruptions, and poor quality of patient.

Subject:Interagency Agreement #74-664 with City of Pittsburg for its Police Department
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Probation Department. The City of San Ramon and the County have formed a joint outreach program “MHET Program” which focuses on
the needs of residents with SPMI by providing joint welfare checks, clinical assessments with recommendations, case management and
linkage to appropriate and available community mental health services, which will result in a reduction in the number of physically
aggressive and/or negative interactions between residents with SPMI and law enforcement; a reduction in the number of repeat calls for
service; a reduction in the number of avoidable visits to PES; a safer, better quality of life for the resident, their family members, and the
community at large; and a significant cost savings should be realized by the City of San Ramon and the County agencies from a reduction in
the time and resources spent to manage this population safely and effectively.
The prior contract was approved by the Board of Supervisors on July 13, 2021 and administered by the County’s Probation Department for
the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 in an amount not to exceed $157,771.
Under Interagency Agreement #74-664, the contractor will provide outreach services for the MHET Program through June 30, 2023. This
contract includes mutual indemnification to hold all parties harmless for any claims arising from the performance under this contract. This
contract is retroactive due to administrative delays within the department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this interagency agreement is not approved, the County will not have the necessary resources for the MHET program and residents with
SPMI will not receive additional outreach efforts to access mental health services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On August 2, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-790-5 with the Regents of the University of California, in amount not to
exceed $25,000, for the provision of endocrinology services for patients at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period February 1,
2022 through January 31, 2023. Since this approval, department staff realized the agreement terms as originally agreed upon by both parties
includes a one-year automatic extension through January 31, 2024. The omission of the one-year automatic extension in the department's
August 2, 2022 request to the Board was an administrative oversight.
Therefore, the department is requesting to rescind the prior action taken so that the Board can approve and authorize the contract with a term
that reads February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023, with a one-year automatic extension through January 31, 2024.

County
Subject:Contract #76-770 and #76-810 with Becton Dickinson and Company
BACKGROUND:
These contracts meet the needs of Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) by executing two Becton Dickinson (BD) Acquisition
Agreements for microbial detection equipment utilized by its Clinical Laboratories that include embedded software, consumables, accessories,
and services. The acquisition agreements will govern the procurement of the equipment (with embedded software), service, maintenance, and
consumables, including reagents, panels, supplies, and assays regarding the testing equipment. CCRMC has issued purchase orders to BD for
test reagents, laboratory, microbiology, and clinical supplies since (at least) 2012.
Under contract #76-770, CCRMC will execute a sixty (60) month Acquisition Agreement for the BD Bruker MALDI Sirius, a microbial
identification system. The BD Bruker MALDI Sirius is a direct, cash purchase with a forty-eight (48) month term service plan (commencing on
the expiration of the equipment warranty period).
Under contract #76-810, CCRMC will execute an eighty-four (84) month Acquisition Agreement for the BD Phoenix M50 (with an EpiCenter
NUC Computer), an automated identification and susceptibility testing system. The BD Phoenix M50 is a direct cash purchase with a
seventy-two (72) month term service plan (commencing on the expiration of the equipment warranty period).
Under the agreements the County is obligated to indemnify Becton Dickinson for third party claims arising out of the County’s use of the
software, the County’s negligence or willful misconduct, or the County’s breach of the agreement. Under the agreement, Becton Dickinson’s
liability to the County is limited to the amounts the County pays in any 12-month period prior to any claim, except with respect to third party
indemnity claims and claims for death or bodily injury.
Approval of contracts #76-770 and #76-810 will allow the contractor to provide services through January 16, 2030. The County may only
terminate the agreements if (1) Becton Dickinson fails to cure its breach of the agreement, or (2) the Board of Supervisors decides not to
appropriate funds for amounts due under the contracts.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these contracts are not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center will be out of compliance with regulations regarding standard
maintenance and function checks regarding the microbial detection instrumentation used by its laboratories. The contracts include unscheduled
repairs and preventative maintenance with the manufacturer for acceptable performance of the lab instruments. The potential of non-compliance
may result in adverse effects such as financial losses, license revocations, business disruptions, and poor quality of patient.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (RecycleSmart) requiring RecycleSmart to perform some of the County’s regulatory
obligations pertaining to reduction of organic waste disposal within the unincorporated portion of the RecycleSmart solid waste collection
service area and requiring the County to pay RecycleSmart $60,000 toward the cost of applicable activities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the General Fund. Under the proposed MOU, the County would pay RecycleSmart $60,000 from the County’s one-time,
$246,842, Local Assistance Grant provided by California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act (“SB 1383”). SB 1383 required CalRecycle to
develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane. The regulations developed by CalRecycle under SB 1383 will be
referred to as the “SB 1383 Regulations”.
The SB 1383 Regulations require counties, cities and other local jurisdictions to adopt enforceable ordinances or other enforceable mechanisms
to mandate that organic waste generators, haulers, and other entities comply with various requirements aimed at reducing the disposal of organic
waste. The requirements in the SB 1383 Regulations applicable to jurisdictions generally address requirements applicable to organic waste
collection services, inspection of waste containers for prohibited contaminants, regulation of commercial edible food generators, provision of
education and outreach information to generators, reporting to CalRecycle on compliance with the SB 1383 Regulations, and maintenance of
records of compliance with SB 1383 Regulations.
RecycleSmart is a joint powers authority that represents six member agencies: five cities and the County. RecycleSmart is currently the solid
waste franchising authority within its territory, and is already engaged in a number of activities to comply with several requirements contained
in the SB 1383 Regulations on behalf of its members.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Under the SB 1383 Regulations, the County may designate a public or private entity to fulfill certain of its responsibilities under the SB
1383 Regulations through an agreement such as a memorandum of understanding. This MOU delegates to RecycleSmart the County’s
obligations related to organic waste collection service requirements, inspection of waste containers for prohibited contaminants, regulation
of commercial edible food generators, provision of education and outreach information to generators, enforcement, assistance with capacity
planning, reporting to CalRecycle on compliance with the SB 1383 Regulations, and maintenance of records of compliance with SB 1383
Regulations. In return, the County is required under the MOU to transfer $60,000 to RecycleSmart from its $246,842 SB 1383 Local
Assistant Grant awarded by CalRecycle to fund costs of activities described in or otherwise provided for under the MOU.
The RecycleSmart Board of Directors approved this MOU at its December 8, 2022, meeting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve the MOU, RecycleSmart will not be obligated to provide needed SB 1383 regulatory compliance assistance
in the unincorporated portion of its territory. The County would then be fully obligated to perform all the associated work instead.

through information sharing and technical operation support to public safety agencies. The agreement has an indemnification provision which
provides that San Mateo County will defend and indemnify Contra Costa County for injuries or losses arising from the performance of the
agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If unapproved, the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC) will remain unsupported, and the County's information sharing
partnership with local state and federal agencies, which is paramount in identifying, preventing and responding to all regional hazards will be
diminished.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee to execute Amendment to Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
#28-944-7 with the City of Antioch, to expand the authorized use of an existing COVID-19 services site at the Nick Rodriguez Community
Center to include the administration of Monkeypox and influenza vaccines and extend the term through April 30, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a nonfinancial agreement, there is no cost to the County associated with this MOA.
BACKGROUND:
On January 5, 2021, the County and City of Antioch entered into a MOA for mutual aid assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
authorizing the County to provide COVID-19-related services such as testing and vaccinations in a portion of the City’s Nick Rodriguez
Community Center, for the period from December 28, 2021, through July 31, 2021. Thereafter, the parties entered into a series of agreements to
extend the term through January 14, 2023, and change the area made available to the County under the MOA.

Costa
County
Subject:Memorandum of Agreement Amendment #28-944-7 with City of Antioch
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Health Services Department is anticipating a high rate of respiratory syncytial virus spread throughout the community this winter and
anticipates the need for COVID-19, Monkeypox and influenza vaccinations during these months. If the proposed amendment is approved,
vaccinations for COVID-19, Monkeypox and influenza will be authorized at this site. COVID-19 testing will remain an authorized service but
is not currently being provided at this site.
The County Health Officer and Health Services Director both recommend that the MOA be extended through April 30, 2023.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, vaccination and testing services will not be available at the Nick Rodriguez Community Center under the
MOA.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute the following amendment agreements to (1) expand the
authorized use of three COVID-19 services sites established under mutual aid agreements, one with the City of Antioch (City) and two with the
Contra Costa Community College District (District), to include influenza testing; and (2) extend the terms of the mutual aid agreements through
March 15, 2023:
1. Amendment to a February 4, 2021, Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the City (#28-949-7), authorizing the California Department of
Public Health (CDPH) and its contractors to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, and influenza testing, at the Antioch Community
Center parking lot.
2. Amendment to a July 31, 2021, MOA with the District (#28-974-6), authorizing CDPH and its contractors to provide COVID-19 testing and
vaccinations, and influenza testing, at the Diablo Valley College overflow parking lot.
3. Amendment to a May 24, 2022, MOA with the District (#28-997-5), authorizing CDPH and its contractors to provide COVID-19 testing and
influenza testing at the Contra Costa College cafeteria.
FISCAL IMPACT:
These are all nonfinancial agreements, and there is no cost to the County associated with the extension of these three MOAs.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the County has entered into numerous mutual aid agreements with public and private
entities over the course of the pandemic, under which the entities have provided sites at various facilities where members of the public can go to
receive COVID-19 testing or vaccination or both. Three of these sites – the Antioch Community Center parking lot, Contra Costa College
cafeteria, and Diablo Valley College overflow

The Health Services Department is anticipating a high rate of respiratory syncytial virus spread throughout the community this winter and
anticipates that the need for testing for COVID-19 and influenza will increase during these months. If the amendments are approved, CDPH and
its contractors will be authorized to use a single swab to collect a specimen from an individual, and then have the specimen analyzed to
determine whether the individual is infected with the COVID-19 virus or influenza virus, or both. While COVID-19 vaccinations have been
authorized at the Antioch and Diablo Valley College sites, and would continue to be authorized under the proposed amendments, there are no
current plans to offer vaccinations there.
The County Health Officer and Health Services Director both recommend that the terms of the MOAs for the above sites be extended through
March 15, 2023, to accommodate the additional need for this testing.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the amendments are not approved, COVID-19 testing and influenza testing will not be available under the above-referenced MOAs with the
City and District.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE an amendment to the Aviation Advisory Committee bylaws to change meeting frequency from every month to every other month.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Originally established in the late 1970’s, the County continues to have a highly functioning Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC). As stated in
its bylaws, the AAC’s role is to provide advice and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on the aviation issues related to the economic
viability and security of airports in Contra Costa County. The AAC’s established bylaws, as amended from time to time by the Board, currently
require the Committee to meet at least once a month, with the ability to hold special meetings more frequently as needed.
The administrative support (preparation of agendas, minutes, and presentations, committee member outreach, etc.) provided by Airports staff,
requires up to forty hours of staff time per month. Because the AAC’s scope is limited to recommendations to the Board, many meetings are
informational only, with no action items on the agenda.

County
Subject:Aviation Advisory Committee Bylaws Amendment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
However, the amount of staff time required to prepare for a meeting with, or without action items, is effectively the same. In an effort to
maximize staffing resources, the Director of Airports requested that the Committee consider switching to bi-monthly meetings. As a means
to ensure consistent communication with the AAC and public, Airport management would provide a written update for the non-meeting
months.
During its September 8, 2022, meeting, the AAC discussed the proposed change and recommended that the bylaws be amended to require
meetings to be held at least every other month, rather than every month, with the ability to hold special meetings more frequently. The
attached red-line version of the bylaws reflects the proposed language change.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Staffing efficiencies desired by Airports management would not be realized.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the cumulative evaluation survey summary from the Health Services Department on the implementation of Laura’s Law – Assisted
Outpatient Treatment (AOT) program covering the period July 2020 through June 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for the acceptance of this summary report. Funds are budgeted for the Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services
(CCBHS) portion of the AOT Program for FY 2022-23 and Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) revenue is expected to sustain the CCBHS
portion of the program costs for the fiscal years 2023-24.
BACKGROUND:
The Assisted Outpatient Treatment Demonstration Project Act (AB 1421), known as Laura’s Law, was signed into California law in 2002.
Laura’s Law is named after a 19 year-old woman who worked at a Nevada County mental health clinic. She was one of three individuals who
died after a shooting by a psychotic individual who had not engaged in treatment. AB 1421 allows court-ordered intensive outpatient treatment
called Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) for a clearly defined set of individuals that must meet specific criteria. AB 1421 also specifies
which individuals may request the County Mental Health Director to file a petition with the superior court for a hearing to determine if a person
should be court-ordered to receive the services specified under the law.

From:FAMILY & HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
Date:January 17, 2023
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Annual Update on the Assisted Outpatient Treatment Program
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County Mental Health Director or his licensed designee is required to perform a clinical investigation and, if the request is confirmed,
file a petition to the court for AOT. If the court finds that the individual meets the statutory criteria, the recipient will be provided intensive
community treatment services and supervision by a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals with staff-to-client ratios of not
more that 1 to 10. Treatment is to be client-directed and employ psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery principles. The law specifies
various rights of the recipient as well as due process hearing rights. If a person refuses treatment under AOT, treatment cannot be forced.
The court orders a meeting with the treatment team to gain cooperation and can authorize a 72-hour hospitalization to gain cooperation. A
Laura’s Law petition does not allow for involuntary medication. AB 1421 requires that a county Board of Supervisors adopt Laura’s Law
by resolution to authorize the legislation within that county. AB 1421 also requires the Board of Supervisors to make a finding that no
voluntary mental health program serving adults or children would be reduced as a result of implementation.
At its June 3, 2013 meeting, the Legislation Committee requested that this matter be referred to the Family and Human Services Committee
(FHS) for consideration of whether to develop a program in the Behavioral Health Division of the Health Services Department that would
implement assisted outpatient treatment options here in Contra Costa County.
On July 9, 2013, the Board of Supervisors referred the matter to FHS for consideration. FHS received reports on the implementation of
Laura's Law on October 16, 2013 and March 10, 2014, and on February 3, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2015/9
to direct the implementation of Assisted Outpatient Treatment (Laura’s Law) for a three-year period and directed the Health Services
Department (HSD) to develop a program design with stakeholder participation. The Board further authorized the Health Services Director
to execute a contract with Resource Development Associates, Inc. to provide consultation and technical assistance with regard to the
evaluation of the County’s Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Program for persons with serious mental illness who demonstrate
resistance to voluntarily participating in behavioral health treatment.
In February 2016, Laura's Law was implemented and the Department provided FHS with status reports on September 12 and December 12,
2016, and May 22 and September 25, 2017, at which time FHS received and discussed the AOT Program reports for fiscal year 2016-17 as
provided by the Health Service Department and Resource Development Associates. Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services was directed
to coordinate with the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division and develop a plan to maximize enrollment in Assertive
Community Treatment (ACT) of persons who are eligible for the AOT Program and are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Mental Health
Systems is the contract agency providing Assertive Community Treatment services.
On October 17, 2017 the Board of Supervisors accepted the Plan for Maximum Enrollment of Persons Eligible for the AOT Program, as
well as the July 2016 through June 30, 2017 evaluation report from Resource Development Associates. On November 2, 2018 Resource
Development Associates presented its Cumulative Evaluation Report to the Assisted Outpatient Treatment Workgroup and interested
stakeholders for discussion and input regarding recommendations and next steps.
In September 2021, AB 1976 was approved by the Legislature and signed by Governor Newsom. This statute eliminates the sunset date for
AOT programs, and requires the implementation of AOT programs for all counties that have not already implemented Laura's Law effective
July 1, 2021. This has converted AOT programs from an opt-in to an opt-out County program. The statute also expands the list of
individuals allowed to petition the county behavioral health department for AOT services to include a superior court judge.
The change in legislation has not impacted the County's AOT program, which exceeds the requirements set forth in the legislation.
The attached report for the 2020-2021 fiscal year was approved by the Family and Human Services Committee at its November 28, 2022
meeting, which was presented by Resource Development Associates and County behavioral health staff.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The annual report as referred to FHS and approved at its November 28, 2022 meeting will not be received by the Board.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT as complete the hazardous material remediation work at 651 Pine Street as part of the Administration Demo and Redevelopment
(ADR) project and AUTHORIZE the release of retention in the amount of $365,928.60 for that completed work.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact. The monies have already been paid and are part of the 5% retention allowed under the contract to be held in escrow
until the end of the project as surety that the work would be accomplished.
BACKGROUND:
The County entered a contract with Webcor Builders to perform the abatement and demolition of the former Administration Complex at 651
Pine Street in Martinez, CA. As is customary with large construction contracts, five percent of each monthly payment to the general contractor
is held in escrow until the end of the project as a surety in case there is unperformed or unfinished work at the end of the contract. This project
has three distinct phases: abatement of hazardous

materials, demolition and construction. The subcontractors who perform the abatement and demolition are specialists, who once completing
their work will not be part of the construction phase. This is distinct from many of the other subcontractors, such as plumbers or electricians,
who have scopes of work that last throughout the construction phase. Sterling Environmental Corporation (Sterling), the abatement
subcontractor, completed 100% of its assigned work in November 2022. Although the County could legally continue to retain the five percent
escrow amounts for the abatement contractor until the end of the project, staff recommends the release of the retention for Sterling now. It
would be a hardship for Sterling to have to wait until 2024 for its final payment since its work is complete. This release would not alter Webcor
Builders' responsibilities or liabilities under the contract and applicable law, and Webcor has acknowledged that in writing.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not taking this action would require Sterling to wait up to another 18 months after finishing its portion of work for its final project payment.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. AUTHORIZE initiation of a General Plan amendment (GPA) process to evaluate changing the General Plan land use designation from
Single-Family Residential - Low Density (SL) to Multiple-Family Residential - Low Density (ML) for Parcels C and D of the Delta Coves
project (Subdivision 6013) in Bethel Island, Assessor's Parcel Numbers 031-250-008 and 031-010-029. (County File #GP22-0005)
2. ACKNOWLEDGE that granting this authorization does not imply any sort of endorsement for the application to amend the General Plan, but
only that the matter is appropriate for consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. If the requested authorization is granted, the project applicant will pay application fees to cover the cost of processing the GPA.
BACKGROUND:
Delta Coves History
The Delta Coves vesting tentative map (Tract 6013) and development plan (County File #DP82-3024) were approved by Federal court order on
March 30, 1989. The judgment was handed down by the court after the Delta Coves vesting tentative map and development plan were denied
by the County Board of Supervisors on October 18, 1984. Prior to the Court’s decision, and prior to denial of the Development Plan by the
Board, on October 28, 1976, the Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning of the subject property to Planned Unit District (P-1) and
preliminary development plan for the Delta Coves project (County File #RZ-1832). That approval by the Board was the basis for the Court’s
decision to overturn the Board’s denial of the subdivision and development plan applications.
The judgment approved the project as shown on the Delta Coves tentative map/development plan, including 494 single-family residential lots
and 66 condominium units. In addition to the residential portions of the project, the tentative map identified various parcels to be reserved for
commercial facilities (Parcels D, E, M and N), recreational facilities (Parcel C), condominiums (Parcel B) and parking (Parcels C, F, G and H).
In 2004, after complying with all applicable conditions of approval, the Delta Coves final map was recorded. After recording the final map,

Subject:Delta Coves General Plan Amendment Feasibility Request, County File #GP22-0005
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
most of the subdivision improvements were completed including construction of the perimeter levee, the “finger levees” upon which nay of
the residential lots are located, the interior lake, levee breach along Dutch Slough, storm drain improvements, roadways, sidewalks, curbs,
gutters and street lighting.
On November 10, 2015, the County Planning Commission granted approval of a modification to the Delta Coves development plan
involving a change to the approved location of the 66 condominium units, the community facilities complex, and the yacht club. Per the
approved Delta Coves tentative map, the 66 condominium units were to be constructed on Parcel B and the recreational facilities were to be
constructed on Parcel C. Overflow parking for the community facilities complex, yacht club, and condominiums were to be constructed on
Parcel G. The community facilities complex, yacht club, and 38 condominium units were approved to be constructed on Parcel B, which is
the 5.77-acre peninsula parcel previously reserved for the condominiums only. The remaining 28 condominium units were to be
constructed on Parcel E which is a 3.85-acre parcel located at the eastern end of the Delta Coves along Windsweep Road and West Wind
Place which was reserved for commercial facilities.
Proposed Project
In 2021, numerous lot line adjustment applications were completed throughout Delta Coves to merge various corner lots into larger single
lots to allow construction of larger homes and maintain the ability of each to have a personal dock (the previous configuration was too
cramped to allow a dock for each parcel). As such, 35 units were transferred to Parcels C and D (now known as APNs 031-250-008 and
031-010-029, respectively) and the total number of single-family residences to be built was reduced from 494 to 459, with an overall total
of 560 units.
The applicant now proposes to replace the approved commercial marina on Parcels C and D with higher density residential development,
which will include 47 cottage-style detached units on Parcels C and D. This would increase the total unit count of the Delta Coves
development to 572 total units – a 12-unit net increase. The commercial marina was intended to serve the Delta Coves community, but
community feedback indicated that an additional marina is not desired. As such, the applicant is now requesting this GPA to restore the
residential units lost through lot line adjustments and add 12 units.
The residences proposed for Parcels C and D are of a size and product type that is currently restricted to Parcels B and E, referred to by the
applicant as cottages, and range from 1575 square feet to 1880 square feet of livable area. They are proposed to be placed on smaller lots
adjacent to the Island Camp Amenity Facilities and designed for carefree living where the homeowner’s association maintains the
landscaping and dock facilities.
Proposed General Plan Amendment
In order to accommodate the proposed project, the applicant is requesting a GPA to modify the General Plan Land Use Designation for
Parcels C and D from Single-Family Residential - Low Density (SL) to Multiple-Family Residential - Low Density (ML). The 47 proposed
cottage units on the two parcels would result in a proposed density of 8.7 units per acre, which exceeds the SL maximum density of 2.9
units per net acre fits the ML density range of 7.3-11.9 units per net acre.
Staff recommends authorization of this feasibility study for the following reasons:
- The County’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the upcoming 6th Housing Cycle is 7,610 units. The proposed project
allows the County to regain 35 "lost" units and add 12 new units.
- The proposed cottage-style units would be new to Delta Coves, providing an additional housing option.
- Infrastructure already installed throughout the Delta Coves project is adequate to serve the proposed units.
Staff emphasizes that authorization to proceed with the GPA process does not imply the Board's support or endorsement for the application
to amend the General Plan, but only that this matter is appropriate for further consideration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not authorize initiation of the GPA process, then an application to amend the General Plan cannot be filed and the subject
site will retain its existing SL land use designation and allowed uses.

VIA: Email to Daniel Barrios
Dear Mr. Nelson and Mr. Barrios:
SDC Delta Coves LLC, owner of the Delta Coves development on Bethel Island, has
been successful in developing subdivision # 6013 by making incremental develop
plan modifications in response to market demands.
We have been successful in segmenting the development into four different housing
categories by limiting the allowable range of square footages that our builders can
construct and offer for sale.
Three of the categories are on the mother subdivision which originally numbered 494
and is now reduced to 461 single family detached lots. These categories are small
lots with house sizes ranging from 1800 square feet to 2200 square feet. Medium
lots with house sizes from 2201 square feet to 2600 square feet. Large lots larger
than 2601 square feet.
The fourth category is a size and product type that is currently restricted to Parcels
B and E. We refer to these houses as our cottages. They are on smaller lots adjacent
to the Island Camp Amenity Facilities. They are designed for carefree living where
the home owner’s association maintains the landscaping and the dock facilities.
These house sizes range from 1575 square feet to 1880 square feet.
It is this fourth category of housing that we plan to build on Parcels C and D at Delta
Coves. It will be phase two of the current housing on Parcels B and E and it will be
built in lieu of developing the approved commercial marina use on Parcels C and D.
Feasibility Study Request This Letter
We therefore ask that the Board of Supervisors approve a General Plan Feasibility
Study that considers a general plan amendment for Parcels C and D at Delta Coves
in which the current general plan be changed from single family low density to
multifamily low density.
Parcels C and D will have a density of 8.7 units to the acre for a total lot count of 47
lots on the Two Parcels.
This lot count of 47 lots will increase the total lot count at Delta Coves from 560
housing units to 572 housing units.
The net increase of 12 housing units is realized by eliminated the commercial marina
use on Parcels C and D.
We look forward to this item being placed of the Board of Supervisors Consent
Calendar for consideration as soon as possible/
Sincerely
Owen Poole, Applicate for SDC Delta Coves LLC.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/28 approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS 23-24”) for the period of July 1, 2023,
through June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. Since the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency dissolved (the “Dissolved RDA”), the tax allotment is
now deposited in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”), which is administered by the County Auditor-Controller.
Distributions are made semi-annually from the RPTTF to the Successor Agency by the County Auditor-Controller to fund the Successor
Agency's administrative budget and Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule. These funds are distinct and separate from other funds used by
the Department of Conservation and Development. According to State law, any obligation of the Successor Agency that cannot be funded by the
RPTTF would not be an obligation of the County.
BACKGROUND:
Resolution No. 2023/28 adopts ROPS 23-24, which is included as Exhibit A to this report. After adoption by the Successor Agency, ROPS
23-24 will be submitted to the Countywide Oversight Board for approval. The Oversight Board is scheduled to meet on January 23, 2023. As
required under Health and Safety Code Section 34179.6, ROPS 23-24 will be submitted to the State Controller's Office, Department of Finance
(DOF) and the County Auditor-Controller and will be posted on the Successor Agency's website. The DOF must receive ROPS 23-24 no later
than February 1, 2023.
ROPS 23-24 authorizes all payments to be made by the Successor Agency for enforceable obligations for the twelve-month time period between
July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024. The payments noted on the ROPS are estimates. In most cases, assumptions made for ROPS 23-24 were based
on actual expenditures in the prior ROPS and expected expenditures in the upcoming period.
The title page of ROPS 23-24 shows that enforceable obligations require $8,696,555 from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (the
“RPTTF”) and $250,000 for Administrative RPTTF. This amount assumes the RPTTF has already set aside pass-through payments to taxing
entities and administrative costs for the County Auditor-Controller.
