Chair Gioia attended the California Executive Committee (CSAC) meeting in San Diego last week, focusing
on creation of a task force of supervisors and staff of counties from around the state, including our chief
probation officer, regarding solutions for the unhoused;
Supervisor Andersen provided a brief update on her work with the National Association of Counties
(NACO) on the Familiar Faces initiative, am method that allows staff to identify familiar faces that rotate
through the jails and homeless shelters and mostly regarding the sharing of data. County Probation has
been working closely with county Health Services on two prongs: One to have strict data where we identify
what are the issues we are facing and not by identifying individuals so we can have better preventive
practices particularly in probation, and the other is really what we are doing with CalAim, addressing the
individuals. This is a great collaborative effort we have been having through health, through probation, a
yearlong process we continue to participate with other counties across the country in finding best practices
to be able to share the data we can without violating hipaa or other privacy concerns.

Union Pacific Railroad Company
Refund Claim Form
Exhibit A
Statement of Grounds for the Refund Claim
Union Pacific seeks a refund of a portion of the property taxes it has paid to the County
on the grounds that portion was illegally levied and collected in violation of federal and state
law.
The County has applied a tax rate to the assessed value of Union Pacific's property that
exceeds the tax rate generally applicable to commercial and industrial property. This excessive
tax rate violates Section 306(1)(c) of the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of
1976, now codified at 49 U.S.C. Section 1150l(b)(3), which bars state and local governments
from levying or collecting an ad valorem tax on railroad property at a tax rate that is higher than
the tax rate generally applicable to commercial and industrial property in the same assessment
jurisdiction. Multiple court decisions recognize that because there is no specific rate for
commercial and industrial property under California law, the appropriate benchmark rate to
determine a violation of Section 11501(b)(3) is the average tax rate for all property. See BNSF
Railway Company v. County of Alameda, 7 F.4th 874 (9th Cir. 2021) and Trailer Train Company
v. State Board of Equalization, 697 F.2d 860, 867 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 846 (1983).
The County has applied a tax rate to Union Pacific's property that exceeds this benchmark rate,
in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 1150l(b)(3).
For similar reasons, the tax rate the County has applied to Union Pacific's property also
violates California law, including, without limitation, Article XIII, Section 19 of the California
Constitution, which requires that railroad and utility property "be subject to taxation to the same
extent and in the same manner as other property." In ITT World Comm. v. City and County of
San Francisco, 37 Cal.3d 859, 693 P2d 811 (1985), the California Supreme Court held this
provision means that state-assessed public utility and railroad property must be subject to the
same tax rate as locally assessed property. The County has applied a tax rate to Union Pacific's
property that exceeds thetax rate for locally assessed property, in violation of California law.
Because the County has applied an excessive tax rate to Union Pacific's property in
violation of federal and state law, the excessive taxes were illegally levied and erroneously and
illegal collected, entitling Union Pacific to a refund under Cal. Rev. & Tax Code§ 5096 et seq.
Union Pacific seeks a refund of the excessive portion of the taxes it has paid, plus interest, costs,
attorneys' fees, and any other relief that may be permitted under Cal. Rev. & Tax Code§ 5096 et
seq. or any other applicable statute, law, or regulation.
Union Pacific is filing this claim with the Board of Supervisors, the Treasurer/Tax
Collector, and the Califor:µia State Board of Equalization, as applicable. For further information,
please contact Robert Morgan, Union Pacific General Director of Property Tax, at ( 402) 544-
4872.

Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If during the course of construction activities there is accidental discovery,
the following steps shall be taken and included on the face all construction plans:
All construction personnel, including operators of equipment involved in grading, or trenching
activities will be advised of the need to immediately stop work if they observe any indications of
the presence of an unanticipated cultural resource discovery (e.g. wood, stone, foundations, and
other structural remains; debris-filled wells or privies; deposits of wood, glass, ceramics). If deposits
of prehistoric or historical archaeological materials are encountered during ground disturbance
activities, all work within 50 feet of the discovery shall be redirected and a qualified archaeologist
contacted to evaluate the finds and, if necessary, develop appropriate treatment measures in

SECTION 4: GEOLOGY/SOILS
Impact GEO-1: The geotechnical investigation concludes there is a 20 ft. thick non-liquifiable cap that
will protect the proposed residential project from ground failure associated with liquefaction that has
been forecasted at depths ranging between 21.3 to 49.1 ft. below the grounds surface. The cap itself
contains sand beds that are deemed to be non-liquefiable based on the Cone Penetration Test (CPT)

logs. The forecasted estimates of settlement associated with liquefaction were based on engineering
properties of the alluvial deposits penetrated in CPT-1 and CPT-3. Additional evaluation of liquefaction
potential is warranted to address the following:
Analysis of liquefaction potential of the alluvial deposits penetrated by CPT-2.
On the basis of CPT data alone, the sand beds within the non-liquefiable cap were
considered to be too cohesive or too dense to liquefy. Best evidence would be logging of
at least three auger borings, recording Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) blow counts,
determining the depth to the water table, sampling of sands, and laboratory testing (i.e.,
moisture content, dry density, gradation, etc.), followed by and evaluation of liquefaction
potential using an SPT methodology compliant with standards for projects located in the
Seismic Hazard Zone. This approach would provide additional data to confirm/ modify the
consultant’s preliminary interpretation of cap thickness.
Mitigation Measure GEO-1a: Prior to recordation of the final map, the applicant shall provide an
updated geotechnical report for the review and approval by the County’s Geologist and the Department
of Conservation and Development, Community Development Division (CDD). The scope of the

The subject property is not located within the Delta Diablo service boundary. Therefore, the project
will require approval from the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting:
Surrounding Area: The subject property is located in the Bay Point area of the County. The
immediate surrounding area to the south and west primarily consists of single-family residential
uses. However, further west and south of the subject property includes multiple-family residential
uses. The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) line borders the entire length of the northern property line
and the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway exist further to the north of the site,
running east and west. The land further to the north is designated as open space and is adjacent
to the Sacramento/San Joaquin River. The land immediately to the east is currently vacant with
residential uses within the City of Pittsburg further to the east. Highway 4 is approximately 0.75
miles south of the property.
Subject Property: The approximately 2.88-acre triangular shaped vacant site is located at the corner
of Fairview Avenue and Pullman Avenue in the Bay Point area of the County. Pullman Avenue is
located to the south of the project site and Fairview Avenue is located to the west of the project
site. The project site is relatively flat and located within the Urban Limit Line. The site has
approximately five multi-stemmed Ailanthus Altissima trees, commonly known as Tree of Heaven.

1. AESTHETICS – Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section 21099, would the
project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic
vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources,
including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic building within a
state scenic highway?
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially
degrade the existing visual character or
quality of public views of the site and its
surroundings? If the project is in an
urbanized area, would the project conflict
with applicable zoning and other regulations
governing scenic quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or
glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? (Less than Significant
Impact)
Figure 9-1 (Scenic Ridges & Waterways) of the General Plan Open Space Element identifies specific
resources of Contra Costa County as designated scenic ridges and waterways. The intent of these
scenic resource designations is to preserve and protect areas of identified high scenic value, where
practical, and in accordance with the Land Use Element. The subject property is located at the
southwest corner of Fairview Avenue and Pullman Avenue in the Bay Point area. This property is
located approximately 1.1 miles south of the Sacramento River Delta a designated scenic
waterway, as outlined in the Contra Costa County 2005-2020 General Plan. The residences directly
to the west, south and further east of the subject property are at the same base elevation as the
subject property, which are only approximately 30 feet above sea level. Furthermore, at a distance
of approximately 1.1 miles and only up to 30 feet above sea level, views of the Sacramento River
from this property and the surrounding residences are minimal. Therefore, there is a less than
significant adverse effect on a scenic vista.
b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic building within a state scenic highway? (Less than Significant Impact)

The Scenic Routes Map (Figure 5-4) of the County General Plan’s Transportation and Circulation
Element identifies scenic routes in the County, including both State Scenic Highways and County
designated Scenic Routes. The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Fairview
Avenue and Pullman Avenue in the Bay Point area. Neither road is considered a scenic route, nor
is the property within the local vicinity of one. Although the project site is not located in the vicinity
of a state scenic highway as designed in the County’s General Plan, Highway 4 is identified as a
connecting highway. However, Highway 4 is 0.75 miles south of the site and residential
development exists between the project site and Highway 4. The property is currently vacant, with
no structures, trees or rock outcroppings. Therefore, there is no potential for impacts to tree
resources, rock outcroppings, or historic structures on the property within a scenic highway as a
result of the proposed project.
c) In non-urbanized areas, would the project substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? If the project is in an urbanized area, would
the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? (Less
than Significant Impact)
The subject property is located within the Single-Family Residential-High Density (SH) General
Plan land use designation and within the Heavy Industrial Zoning District (H-I), Railroad Corridor
Combining District (H-1, -X). The subject property is located in an urbanized area, primarily
surrounded by residential development to the west, south, and east, and is within the Urban Limit
Line. The project is to rezone the subject property to a Planned Unit District (P-1), subdivide the
subject property into 15 lots and common areas, construction of 15 new residences, remove
existing trees on-site, and installation of the required improvements for the subdivision. Thus, the
project would not conflict with the applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic
quality and would be less than significant.
d) Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect
day or nighttime views in the area? (Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation
Incorporated)
Potential sources of light associated with the project would consist of typical sources of lighting
associated with a residential development including lighting from the newly constructed
residences, and vehicles traveling to and from the project site. Streetlights will be installed for
public and private streets for the proposed development. Although trees and vegetation are
proposed at the front of each lot, which provides some screening, the development of the 15 new
residential homes on a currently undeveloped property could increase lighting above existing
levels. However, Mitigation Measure (MM) AES-4 would require exterior lighting to be directed
downward and away from adjacent properties and public/private right-of-way to prevent
excessive light spillover. With the implementation of MM AES-4, lighting impacts would be less
than significant.

Glare resulting from the proposed residences’ windows would be minimal and would be partially
obscured by landscaping, depending on the time of day and the location of the reflecting light
sources. Additionally, residential glass typically has a low reflectivity rate. Glare may also occur
from on-site vehicles; however, such glare would be temporary, depending upon the time of day
and location of the vehicle. MM AES-4 requires exterior lighting be directed downward and away
from adjacent properties and public/private right-of-way to prevent glare. As such, glare impacts
would be less than significant with mitigation.
Impact AES-4: New exterior lighting from the project site could adversely affect nighttime
views in the area.
MM AES-4: Exterior Lighting: Proposed exterior lighting shall be directed downward and
away from adjacent properties and public/private right-of-way to prevent glare or excessive
light spillover.

2. AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST RESOURCES – Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland,
or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared
pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural
use, or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause
rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g),
timberland (as defined by Public Resources
Code section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by
Government Code section 51104(g)?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing
environment, which due to their location or
nature, could result in the conversion of
farmland to a non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to a non-forest
use?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? (Less than
Significant Impact)
Pursuant to the 2018 Contra Costa County Important Farmland Map, the subject property has
been categorized as “urban and built-up land.” Figure 8-2 (Important Agricultural Land Map) of
the Conservation Element of the County General Plan does not identify the property as important
agricultural area. The property is zoned as Heavy Industrial (H-1), Railroad Corridor Combining
District and has a General Plan land use designation of Single-Family Residential-High Density
(SH). The project is to rezone the subject property to a Planned Unit District, subdivide the property
into 15 lots, construct a residence on each lot, and install improvements related to the subdivision.
The proposed residences are a use that is consistent with the zoning and general plan. Therefore,
the potential for converting Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance, as categorized by the California Resources Agency, to a non-agricultural use is less
than significant.

b) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
(No Impact)
The project site is located within a Heavy Industrial, Railroad Corridor Combining District. The
subject property is not currently in a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, there is no potential for
the proposed project to conflict with existing zoning for agricultural uses, or with a Williamson Act
contract.
c) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in
Public Resources Code section 12220(g), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section
4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section
51104(g) or conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526),
or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g)?
(No Impact)
The project site is not considered forest land as defined by California Public Resources Code
Section 12220(g), timberland as defined by California Public Resources Code Section 4526, or
zoned Timberland Production as defined by California Government Code section 51104(g). The
project site is zoned for heavy industrial uses and the project includes a rezone to a Planned Unit
District to allow the residential development. Thus, the project would not conflict with existing
zoning for, or cause rezoning of forest land or timberland.
California Public Resources Code Section 12220, under the Forest Legacy Program Act, defines
"forest land" as land that can support 10 percent native tree cover of any species, including
hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of one or more forest
resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and
other public benefits.
Public Resources Code 4526, under the Forest Practice Act, defines "timberland" as land, other
than land owned by the federal government and land designated by the State Board of Forestry
and Fire Protection as experimental forest land, which is available for, and capable of, growing a
crop of trees of any commercial species used to produce lumber and other forest products,
including Christmas trees. Commercial species are determined by the board on a district basis
after consultation with the district committees and others.
California Government Code 51104, under the Timberland Productivity Act, defines "timberland"
as privately owned land, or land acquired for state forest purposes, which is devoted to and used
for growing and harvesting timber, or for growing and harvesting timber and compatible uses,
and which is capable of growing an average annual volume of wood fiber of at least 15 cubic feet
per acre. "Timberland production zone" or "TPZ" means an area which has been zoned pursuant

to Section 51112 or 51113 of the Government Code and is devoted to and used for growing and
harvesting timber, or for growing and harvesting timber and compatible uses, as defined in Public
Resources Code 4526 or 12220. With respect to the general plans of cities and counties,
"timberland preserve zone" means "timberland production zone." As stated in the Contra Costa
County General Plan, no land is used for timber harvesting.
d) Would the project involve or result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-
forest use? (No Impact)
The project site is a 2.88-acre vacant property with five trees. The project site is zoned Heavy
Industrial, Railroad Corridor Combining District. The General Plan land use designation for the
project site is Single-Family Residential-High Density. The project to rezone the site to a Planned
Unit District, subdivide the site into 15 residential lots, and construct 15 residences and related
improvements is consistent with the uses designated for the site. Furthermore, the project site is
located in a developed area and the project site is currently zoned for industrial uses. Thus, the
project would not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use.
e) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which due to their location
or nature, could result in the conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural use? (No Impact)
The project site is surrounded by primarily residential and industrial zoned areas of the County.
The project is to rezone the property from Heavy Industrial, Railroad Corridor Combining District
to a Planned Unit District (P-1), subdivide the site into 15 residential lots, and construct 15
residences and related improvements. Construction of a residence is an allowed use within the
proposed P-1 zoning district. Furthermore, the project site is located in a developed area and the
project site is currently zoned for industrial uses. Thus, the proposed project would not result in
the conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural use.

3. AIR QUALITY – Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of
the applicable air quality plan?
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which
the project region is non-attainment under
an applicable federal or state ambient air
quality standard?
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations?
d) Result in other emissions (such as those
leading to odors) adversely affecting a
substantial number of people?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? (Less
than Significant Impact)
The 2017 Clean Air Plan, prepared by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), is
the most recent plan prepared to fulfill state and federal air pollution reduction requirements. The
2017 plan provides a regional strategy to protect public health and protect the climate, as well as
describing how the air district will continue to progress toward attaining all state and federal air
quality standards and eliminating health risk disparities from exposure to air pollution among Bay
Area communities. To accomplish this, the 2017 plan describes a multi-pollutant strategy to
simultaneously reduce emissions and ambient concentrations of ozone, fine particulate matter,
toxic air contaminants, as well as greenhouse gases (GHG) that contribute to climate change. The
subdivision of land, or any other aspects of the proposed project, does not conflict with or obstruct
implementation of any air quality plans for the region; therefore, the project will have a less than
significant impact on this analysis category.
b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for
which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard? (Less than Significant with Mitigation)
In developing thresholds of significance for criteria air pollutants, the BAAQMD considered the
emission levels for which a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively significant. As
such, if a project exceeds the identified thresholds of significance, its emissions would be
significant in terms of both project- and cumulative-level impacts, resulting in significant adverse
air quality impacts to the region’s existing air quality conditions. Thus, this impact analysis and
discussion is related to the project- and cumulative-level effect of the project’s regional criteria air
pollutant emissions.

The region is non-attainment for the federal and State ozone standards, the State PM10 standards,
and the federal and State PM2.5 standards. Potential impacts would result in exceedances of State
or federal standards for NOX or particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). NOX emissions are of concern
because of potential health impacts from exposure to NOX emissions during both construction
and operation and as a precursor in the formation of airborne ozone. PM10 and PM2.5 are of
concern during construction, because of the potential to emit exhaust emissions from the
operation of off-road construction equipment and fugitive dust during earth-disturbing activities
(construction fugitive dust).
ROG emissions are also important, because of their participation in the formation of airborne
ozone. Ozone is a respiratory irritant and an oxidant that increases susceptibility to respiratory
infections and that can cause substantial damage to vegetation and other materials. Elevated
ozone concentrations result in reduced lung function, particularly during vigorous physical activity.
This health problem is particularly acute in sensitive receptors such as the sick, elderly, and young
children.
By its nature, air pollution is largely a cumulative impact resulting from emissions generated over
a large geographic region. The non-attainment status of regional pollutants is a result of past and
present development within the Air Basin, and this regional impact is a cumulative impact. In other
words, new development projects (such as the proposed project) within the Air Basin would
contribute to this impact only on a cumulative basis. No single project would be sufficient in size,
by itself, to result in non-attainment of regional air quality standards. Instead, a project’s emissions
may be individually limited, but cumulatively significant when taken in combination with past,
present, and future development projects.
The cumulative analysis focuses on whether a specific project would result in cumulatively
significant emissions. According to Section 15064(h)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, the existence of
significant cumulative impacts caused by other projects alone does not constitute substantial
evidence that the project’s incremental effects would be cumulatively significant. Rather, the
determination of cumulative air quality impacts for construction and operational emissions is
based on whether the proposed project would result in regional emissions that exceed the
BAAQMD regional thresholds of significance for construction and operations on a project level.
The thresholds of significance represent the allowable amount of emissions each project can
generate without generating a cumulatively significant contribution to regional air quality impacts.
Therefore, a project that would not exceed the BAAQMD thresholds of significance on the project
level also would not be considered to result in a cumulatively significant impact with regard to
regional air quality and would not be considered to result in a significant impact related to
cumulative regional air quality.
Construction of the Project would result in emissions of criteria pollutants from the use of heavy-
duty construction equipment, haul truck trips, and vehicle trips generated from construction

workers traveling to and from the site. In addition, fugitive dust PM10 emissions would result from
excavation, trenching, and other construction activities. Construction would occur over
approximately two years total (site preparation and construction of homes). Site preparation
consists of the tree removal and minimal grading. Approximately 2,000 cubic yards is proposed
for grading, which will be balanced on-site.
Construction-related effects from fugitive dust from the proposed project would be greatest
during the site preparation and grading phases due to the disturbance of soils. If not properly
controlled, these activities would temporarily generate particulate emissions in the area of the
construction site. Unless properly controlled, vehicles leaving the site would deposit dirt and mud
on local streets, which could be an additional source of airborne dust after it dries. PM10 emissions
would vary from day to day, depending on the nature and magnitude of construction activity
(amount of equipment operating), local weather conditions (such as wind speed), and
characteristics such as soil moisture and silt content of the soil. Larger dust particles would settle
near the source, while fine particles would be dispersed over greater distances from the
construction site. For mitigation of fugitive dust emissions, the BAAQMD recommends
implementing best management practices (BMPs), as a pragmatic and effective approach to
controlling fugitive dust emissions (BAAQMD, 2017a). The BAAQMD notes that individual
measures have been shown to reduce fugitive dust by anywhere from 30 percent to more than 90
percent. The BAAQMD considers any project’s construction-related impacts to be less than
significant if the required dust-control measures are implemented. Without these measures, the
impact is generally considered to be significant, particularly if sensitive land uses are located in
the project vicinity. There are a number of residences located along the southern and western
border of the project site that would be impacted by fugitive dust generated by construction
activities. Therefore, implementation of these BMPs would ensure the Project’s fugitive dust
emissions remained below a level of significance.
Impact AIR-2: Exhaust emissions and particulate matter produced by construction activities
related to the project may cause exposure of the public or sensitive receptors to significant
amounts of pollutants.
Mitigation Measure AIR-2: The following Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Basic
Construction mitigation measures shall be implemented during project construction and
shall be stated on the face of all construction plans:
A. All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas,
and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.
B. All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be
covered.

C. All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using
wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power
sweeping is prohibited.
D. All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.
E. All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as
possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless
seeding or soil binders are used.
F. Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use
or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California
airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of
Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all
access points.
G. All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance
with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified
visible emissions evaluator.
H. The applicant shall post a publicly visible sign with the developer/project
manager’s name and telephone number regarding dust complaints. This person
shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District’s phone
number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? (Less than
Significant Impact)
The project includes construction of 15 single-family residences and related improvements. The
surrounding properties are primarily single-family residential uses directly south, west, and further
east of the property site, and industrial uses north of the property site. The closest schools are
approximately 0.68 miles south of the project site and 0.69 miles southeast of the project site. It is
anticipated that sensitive receptors would not be exposed to pollutant concentrations due to the
scale of the proposed project. Residential uses typically do not generate substantial pollutant
concentrations. Furthermore, the construction activities will be restricted to specific days of the
week and to a limited number of work hours in order to lessen the amount of time during the
week that sensitive receptors would be exposed to construction-related air quality impacts.
d) Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a
substantial number of people? (Less than Significant Impact)
The project includes construction of 15 single-family residences and related improvements. During
construction activities, construction equipment exhaust and application of asphalt and
architectural coating would temporarily generate odors. Any construction-related odor emissions
would be temporary and intermittent. It is anticipated that by the time such emissions reach any

sensitive receptor sites, they would be diluted to well below any level of air quality or odor concern.
Therefore, construction odors impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed 15 new residences would not likely generate objectionable odors. The types of uses
that are considered to have objection odors include wastewater treatment plants, compost
facilities, landfills, solid waste transfer station, fiberglass manufacturing facilities, paint/coating
operations (e.g., auto body shops), or petroleum refineries. The proposed project is residential in
nature, and it is not anticipated to generate objectionable odors which may affect a substantial
number of people. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant.

4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES – Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either
directly or through habitat modifications, on
any species identified as a candidate,
sensitive, or special status species in local or
regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by
the California Department of Fish and Game
or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any
riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional
plans, policies, and regulations or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or
federally protected wetlands (including, but
not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal,
etc.) through direct removal, filling,
hydrological interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of
any native resident or migratory fish or
wildlife species or with established native
resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or
impede the use of wildlife nursery sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances
protecting biological resources, such as a
tree preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted
Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other
approved local, regional, or state habitat
conservation plan?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local
or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? (Less than Significant Impact)
According to the Significant Ecological Areas and Selected Locations of Protected Wildlife and
Plant Species Areas map (Figure 8-1) of the County General Plan, the project site is not located in
or adjacent to a significant ecological area. The project area consists of non-native grasses and
weeds, shrubs and a grove of small trees. There are five Ailanthus Altissima trees on the project
site, commonly known as Tree of Heaven. The surrounding area primarily consists of developed

properties with residences. Thus, the proposed project would have a less than significant impact
to habitats or special status species.
b) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive
natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? (Less than
Significant Impact)
According to the Significant Ecological Areas and Selected Locations of Protected Wildlife and
Plant Species Areas map (Figure 8-1) of the County General Plan, the project site is not located in
or adjacent to, a significant ecological area. The project site does not contain a riparian habitat. In
addition, the project site is not within a sensitive natural community, since the surrounding area is
largely developed. Thus, the proposed project would have a less than significant impact on any
riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community.
c) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands
(including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling,
hydrological interruption, or other means? (Less than Significant Impact)
The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (Corps) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are
two of the primary Federal agencies which enforce the Clean Water Act and administer the
associated permitting program. As such, these agencies define wetland as areas that are inundated
or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in
saturated soil conditions. The subject property would not be categorized as a wetland as defined
above. Therefore, there is no potential for the proposed project having an adverse effect on a
federally protected wetland.
d) Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede
the use of wildlife nursery sites? (Less than Significant Impact)
As discussed above, the proposed project would not result in potentially significant impacts to
special-status species. As such, the project’s potential to interfere substantially with the movement
of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or
migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of wildlife nursery sites is considered less than
significant.
e) Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? (Less than Significant Impact)

The Contra Costa County Tree Protection and Preservation Ordinance provides for the protection
of certain trees by regulating tree removal and development within their drip lines while allowing
for reasonable development of private property. On any property proposed for development
approval, the Ordinance requires tree alteration or removal to be considered as part of the project
application. The proposed project includes the removal of five code-protected trees that are all
Ailanthus Altissima trees, commonly known as Tree of Heaven. The proposed tree removal has
been evaluated by CDD staff pursuant to the Tree Protection and Preservation Ordinance as well
as the project plans for construction of the new residences, driveways, storm water control, and
other site improvements and the Tree Inventory Report prepared by Traverso Tree. As the project
includes the removal of code-protected trees, a tree permit is required in order to remove the
trees. The project will require findings for approval or denial, and, if approved, will receive standard
conditions of approval for restitution in order to reasonably restore the natural resources on-site.
With the standard review and conditions implemented, the project will have a less than significant
impact.
f) Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation
plan? (Less than Significant Impact)
The County has adopted the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan / Natural
Community Plan (HCP/NCCP), which provides a framework to protect natural resources in eastern
Contra Costa County. This plan covers areas within the cities of Brentwood, Clayton, Oakley,
Pittsburg, as well as unincorporated areas of eastern Contra Costa County. The subject property is
within the covered area for the HCP/NCCP, and staff consulted with Contra Costa County
HCP/NCCP staff. HCP/NCCP staff provided a response regarding the proposed project on August
30, 2021, stating that there are no comments. Therefore, the project will have a less than significant
impact on the HCP/NCCP.

5. CULTURAL RESOURCES – Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a historical resource pursuant
to §15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of an archaeological resource
pursuant to §15064.5?
c) Disturb any human remains, including those
interred outside of formal cemeteries?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource
pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15064.5? (Less than
Significant with Mitigation)
Historical resources are defined in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section
15064.5 as a resources that fit any of the following definitions:
• Is listed in the California Register of Historic Places and has been determined to be eligible for
listing by the State Historic Resources Commission;
• Is included in a local register of historic resources, and identified as significant in a historical
resource survey that has been or will be included in the State Historic Resources Inventory; or
• Has been determined to be historically or culturally significant by a lead agency.
A memo prepared by the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) dated September 15, 2021
indicates that previous studies were prepared for the project area. There were two studies
prepared, Study #30192 (Allan 2005) and Study #19778 (Eastman 1997) that identified no cultural
resources within the project area. Based on the results of Study #30192 (Allan 2005), the project
area has a low possibility of containing unrecorded archeological site(s). No further study for
archaeological resources was recommended by NWIC.
While unlikely, subsurface construction activities always have the potential to damage or destroy
previously undiscovered historic resources such as wood, stone, foundations, and other structural
remains; debris-filled wells or privies; and deposits of wood, glass, ceramics, and other refuse, if
encountered. This would represent a potentially significant impact related to historic resources.
Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce the impact to undiscovered
historical resources to a less than significant level.

Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If during the course of construction activities there is accidental
discovery, the following steps shall be taken and included on the face all construction plans:
All construction personnel, including operators of equipment involved in grading, or
trenching activities will be advised of the need to immediately stop work if they observe
any indications of the presence of an unanticipated cultural resource discovery (e.g.
wood, stone, foundations, and other structural remains; debris-filled wells or privies;
deposits of wood, glass, ceramics). If deposits of prehistoric or historical archaeological
materials are encountered during ground disturbance activities, all work within 50 feet
of the discovery shall be redirected and a qualified archaeologist contacted to evaluate
the finds and, if necessary, develop appropriate treatment measures in consultation
with the appropriate County and other agencies.
If the deposits are not eligible, avoidance is not necessary. If eligible, deposits will need
to be avoided by impacts or such impacts must be mitigated. Upon completion of the
archaeological assessment, a report should be prepared documenting the methods,
results, and recommendations. The report should be submitted to the NWIC and
appropriate Contra Costa County agencies.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would reduce the impact to a less than significant
level.
b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
resource pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15064.5? (Less than
Significant with Mitigation)
Figure 9-2 of the Open Space Element of the County General Plan identifies archaeologically
sensitive areas in the County. According to this map, the project site is located within a largely
urbanized area. A memo prepared by the Northwest Information Center dated September 15,
2021 indicates that previous studies were prepared for the project area. There were two studies
prepared, Study #30192 (Allan 2005) and Study #19778 (Eastman 1997) that identified no cultural
resources within the project area. Based on the results of Study #30192 (Allan 2005), the project
area has a low possibility of containing unrecorded archeological site(s). No further study for
archaeological resources was recommended. However, the project site is vacant and construction
activities may encounter previously undiscovered archaeological resources. Implementation of the
following mitigation measure would reduce the impact to undiscovered archaeological resources.
Impact CUL-2: Subsurface construction activities may have a significant impact to previously
undiscovered archaeological resources.

No human remains or cemeteries are known to exist within or near the project site. However, there
is a possibility that human remains could be present and accidental discovery could occur. If during
project construction, subsurface construction activities damaged previously human remains, there
could be a potentially significant impact. If human remains or any associated funerary artifacts are
discovered during construction, all work must cease within the immediate vicinity of the discovery.
In accordance with the California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050.5), the Contra Costa
County Sheriff/Coroner must be contacted immediately. If the Coroner determines the remains to
be Native American, the Coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission, which will
in turn appoint a Most Likely Descendent (MLD) to act as a tribal representative and confirm next
steps. Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-3 would reduce the potentially significant
impact to a less than significant level.
Impact CUL-3: Project activities could have the potential to significantly impact previously
undiscovered human remains.
Mitigation Measure CULT-3: If during the course of construction activities there is accidental
discovery or recognition of any human remains, the following steps shall be taken and
included on the face of all construction plans:
If human remains are encountered, work within 50 feet of the discovery shall be
redirected and the County Coroner notified immediately. At the same time, an
archaeologist shall be contacted to assess the situation. If the human remains are of a
Native American origin, the Coroner must notify the Native American Heritage
Commission within 24 hours of this identification. The Native American Heritage
Commission will identify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) to inspect the property and
provide recommendations for the proper treatment of the remains and associated grave
goods. The MLD will work with the Applicant and a qualified archaeologist to determine
the proper treatment of the human remains and any associated funerary objects.
Construction activities will not resume until either the human remains are exhumed, or
the remains are avoided via project construction design change.
Upon completion of the assessment by an archaeologist, the archaeologist should
prepare a report documenting the methods and results and provide recommendations
for the treatment of the human remains and any associated cultural materials, as
appropriate and in coordination with the recommendations of the MLD. The report

6. ENERGY – Would the project:
a) Result in potentially significant
environmental impact due to wasteful,
inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of
energy resources, during project
construction or operation?
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan
for renewable energy or energy efficiency?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful,
inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or
operation? (Less than Significant Impact)
Environmental effects related to energy include the project’s energy requirements and its energy
use efficiencies by amount and fuel type during construction and operation; the effects of the
project on local and regional energy supplies; the effects of the project on peak and base period
demands for electricity and other forms of energy; the degree to which the project complies with
existing energy standards; the effects of the project on energy resources; and the project’s
projected transportation energy use requirements and its overall use of efficient transportation
alternatives, if applicable. The following factors demonstrate a project’s significance in relation to
these effects: (1) why certain measures were incorporated in the project and why other measures
were dismissed; (2) The potential of siting, orientation, and design to minimize energy
consumption, including transportation energy, increase water conservation and reduce solid-
waste; (3) The potential for reducing peak energy demand; (4) Alternate fuels (particularly
renewable ones) or energy systems; and (5) Energy conservation which could result from recycling
efforts.
Energy consumption includes energy required for the construction of the proposed project and
the operational use of the 15 single-family residences. The proposed project’s energy demand
would be typical for a development of this scope and nature and would be required to comply
with current state and local codes concerning energy consumption, including Title 24 of the

California Code of Regulations, enforced by the Building Inspection Division. Therefore, the project
would have a less than significant impact due to energy consumption.
b) Would the project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy
efficiency? (Less than Significant Impact)
The Climate Action Plan (CAP) includes a number of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction
strategies. The strategies include measures such as implementing standards for green buildings
and energy-efficient buildings, reducing parking requirements, and reducing waste disposal.
Green building codes and debris recovery programs are among the strategies currently
implemented by the County. The proposed project’s energy demand would be typical for a
development of this scope and nature and would be required to comply with current state and
local codes concerning energy consumption, including Title 24 of the California Code of
Regulations, enforced by the County’s Building Inspection Division. Therefore, the project’s
potential to conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency
would be less then significant.

SUMMARY:
a) Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the

i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other
substantial evidence of a known fault? (Less than Significant Impact)
The California Geological Survey (CGS) has delineated Alquist-Priolo (A-P) zones along the
known active faults in California. The nearest fault considered active by CGS is the Concord
fault, which is mapped approximately 6 ½ miles southwest of the project site. Another fault
of regional significance is the Clayton fault, a through-going, northeast-dipping thrust fault
that passes approximately two miles southwest of the project site. This fault zone tends to
be complicated with several subparallel and branching traces. Additionally, the USGS map
identifies relatively short cross-faults that extend in a generally northerly or northwesterly
direction from the main trace of the Clayton fault. Some of these faults are growth faults
(i.e., the amount of displacement on these cross faults is greatest for the oldest formations
that are cut by the faults, and the amount is displacement is systematically less for the
younger units that the bisected by these faults. Like the Clayton fault, the minor cross-faults
are considered inactive by the USGS. No faults are mapped within the Pittsburg-Antioch
Plain (They are concealed by the geologically recent Quaternary deposits).
A geotechnical investigation report was prepared for the site and project by TRC dated June
3, 2021. The TRC report identifies the distance of the site from known active and potentially
active faults, indicating that the project site is not bisected of an active fault; and concludes
the site is not located within an Earthquake Fault Zone (EFZ). Thus, the potential impact from
surface fault rupture would be less than significant.

ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? (Less than Significant Impact)
TRC calculated the peak ground acceleration as 0.84g. TRC also cites a USGS report that has
estimated a 72% chance of at least one magnitude 6.7 earthquake occurring in the San
Francisco Bay Region during the 30-year period 2014-2044. Clearly during the useful life of
the proposed structures, it can be anticipated that the proposed project will be exposed to
very strong to violent earthquake ground shaking.
To mitigate the hazard posed to seismic shaking, the consultant has provided seismic
coefficients for a Class D Site, based both on the California Building Code (2019) and
Section11.4.8 ASCE 7-16 (see Table 5 on pg. 12 of the TRC report). Those parameters are
used by the structural engineer in the design of civil engineering structures that require
building permits.
Conservative design and quality construction could keep ground shaking damage to a
minimum, but it cannot be eliminated. The risk of damage from ground shaking is controlled
both by use of sound engineering judgement and compliance with the latest provisions of
the California Building Code (CBC), as a minimum. The seismic design provisions of the CBC
prescribe minimum lateral forces applied statistically to the structure(s), combined with the
gravity forces and dead-and-live loads. The code-prescribed lateral forces are generally
considered to be substantially smaller than comparable forces that would be associated
with a major earthquake. The intent of the code is to enable structures to (i) resist minor
earthquakes without damage, (ii) resist moderate earthquakes without structural damage
but with some non-structural damage, and (iii) resist major earthquakes without collapse
but with some structural as well as non-structural damage. Thus, the potential impact from
seismic shaking would be less than significant.
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? (Less than Significant Impact
Mitigation)
TRC references the official Seismic Hazard Zone (SHZ) maps issued by the California
Geological Survey and acknowledges that a portion of the project site is within the hazard
zone for seismically induced liquefaction. The data gathered from CPT-1 and CPT-3 are
inferred by TRC to adequately document that to a depth of 20 ft. below the ground surface
there is no potential of liquefiable sands. Thus, for a surface manifestation of liquefaction
(sand boils, permanent ground waves, etc.) the liquified layers would need to break through
a 20 ft. thick non-liquefiable cap.
Based on the analysis of liquefaction potential, TRC indicated that the total settlement
resulting from liquefaction could range from ¼ to ¾ inches and differential settlement
associated with liquefaction was estimated to be on the order of ½ inch for over a horizontal

distance of 50 ft. Additionally, consolidation of dry sands locate above the water table could
result in additional settlement of ¼ inch. On that basis the combined effect of liquefaction
and dry sand consolidation could potentially range up to ¾ inch of differential settlement
over a horizontal distance of 50 ft.
Impact GEO-1: The geotechnical investigation concludes there is a 20 ft. thick non-
liquifiable cap that will protect the proposed residential project from ground failure
associated with liquefaction that has been forecasted at depths ranging between 21.3
to 49.1 ft. below the grounds surface. The cap itself contains sand beds that are
deemed to be non-liquefiable based on the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) logs. The
forecasted estimates of settlement associated with liquefaction were based on
engineering properties of the alluvial deposits penetrated in CPT-1 and CPT-3.
Additional evaluation of liquefaction potential is warranted to address the following:
Analysis of liquefaction potential of the alluvial deposits penetrated by CPT-
2.
On the basis of CPT data alone, the sand beds within the non-liquefiable cap
were considered to be too cohesive or too dense to liquefy. Best evidence
would be logging of at least three auger borings, recording Standard
Penetration Testing (SPT) blow counts, determining the depth to the water
table, sampling of sands, and laboratory testing (i.e., moisture content, dry
density, gradation, etc.), followed by and evaluation of liquefaction potential
using an SPT methodology compliant with standards for projects located in
the Seismic Hazard Zone. This approach would provide additional data to
confirm/ modify the consultant’s preliminary interpretation of cap thickness.
Mitigation Measure GEO-1a: Prior to recordation of the final map, the applicant shall
provide an updated geotechnical report for the review and approval by the County’s
Geologist and the Department of Conservation and Development, Community
Development Division (CDD). The scope of the geotechnical update report shall
include logging of a minimum of at least three auger borings that are approximately
25 ft. deep, each. Provide adequate data on the engineering properties of the sand
layers within the non-liquefiable cap (i.e., within approximately 20 ft. of the ground
surface). If this screening investigation encountered sands that were considered to be
possible candidates for liquefaction, the liquefaction potential of this cap sands shall
be performed.
Mitigation Measure GEO-1b: Prior to recordation of the final map, the applicant shall
provide evaluation liquefaction potential of sands penetrated in CPT-2. Additionally,
estimate the amount of dry consolidation settlement for CPT-2.

iv) Landslides? (Less than Significant Impact)
The Safety Element of the General Plan includes four policies that pertain to lands
considered to be located within an area where liquefaction related hazards are present.
These policy indicate that (i) project approvals are contingent on geologic and engineering
studies which define and delineate the potential hazard posed by liquefaction, (ii) the
geotechnical/ engineering geologic report for the project shall provide recommendations
to reduce risks to less-than-significant, and (iii) through monitoring and testing during the
construction period, the geotechnical engineer/ engineering geologist that ensure that their
recommendations are properly interpreted and implemented by the contractor.
Since there are no landslides indicated on the site by mapping of the USGS, and because
the official SHZ map indicates that site is not considered to be at risk of earthquake-
triggered landslide displacement, the risks of landslide related ground failure are not
substantial for this project.
b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? (Less than Significant
Impact with Mitigation)
According to the Soil Survey of Contra Costa County, the soil series mapped on the site is the
Antioch loam (AdA; 0-2% slopes). 1 It is a non-prime agricultural soil (Class IV) with a Storie Index
rating of 38. The primary limitations for agricultural use are nutrient level and alkali content.
Regarding engineering properties, the expansivity of the soil varies with depth. Specifically, the
AdA soil profile is 60 inches deep. The A-horizon extends from the surface to a depth of 17 inches,
and it is only slightly expansive. The B1-horizon, extending from 17-36 inches, is rated highly
expansive; and the B2-horizon, from 36-60 inches, is rated moderately expansive. With respect to
the corrosion potential, the entire soil profile is rated highly corrosive. Expansive soils are soils that
expand when water is added and shrink when they dry out. This continuous change in soils volume
can cause homes and other structures to move unevenly and crack. It should also be recognized
that corrosive soils tend to damage concrete and/or uncoated metal (steel) that is in contact with
the ground. Design-level geotechnical reports typically provide laboratory test data to
characterize soil conditions and provide at least a preliminary assessment of the expansion and
corrosion potential of soils.
Impact GEO-2: The geotechnical report prepared for the project presented laboratory test
data indicating the surface soils are expansive.
Mitigation Measure GEO-2: The applicant shall provide additional design details on the
mitigation of expansive soils (i.e., recommendations) addressing (a) thickness of the import

fill material on building pads, (b) the project geotechnical engineer shall approve any
import brought to the site, (c) the import shall not be more expansive or more corrosive
than the native soils on the site, (d) specify the final grades recommended within
approximately 3 ft. of the foundation to achieve compliance with the intent of the
geotechnical engineers recommendation that positive drainage be provided to direct water
away from the foundation, and (e) include a report from the corrosion protection engineer
as an appendix to the Updated Geotechnical Report. It shall include test results; analysis of
the data gathered and provide design recommendations to mitigate the hazard posed by
corrosive soils.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-2 would reduce any impacts to a less than significant
level.
c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become
unstable as a result of the project and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral
spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? (Less than Significant with Mitigation)
TRC identified the need to evaluate the corrosion potential of native soils on the project site. The
scope of their investigation included collecting of two samples for laboratory testing to evaluate
the corrosion potential. The samples were collected at the CPT-2 probe site at a depth of 2 ft.; and
at the CPT-3 probe site at a depth of 3½ ft. The data gathered allows TRC to provide a preliminary
assessment of the corrosion potential of soils on the project site.
Impact GEO-3: The Geotechnical Report prepared presented laboratory test data indicating
potential corrosion of soils.
Mitigation Measure GEO-3a: The Updated Geotechnical Report shall include a citation to
the project plans and shall comment on their compliance with geotechnical
recommendations and specifications.
Mitigation Measure GEO-3b: The Updated Geotechnical Report shall comment on grading
and drainage plans for the project, including the citing and design of the Stormwater C.3
basins. If they are available, provide comments on the foundation plans and associated
exhibits.
Mitigation Measure GEO-3c: The project geotechnical engineer shall provide adequate
observation services to confirm that their foundation, final grading, and drainage
recommendations have been implemented, as well as backfilling of utility trenches and
construction of the private roads and flatwork.

d) Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building
Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? (Less than Significant
with Mitigation)
To mitigate the effects of expansive soils, TRC recommends use of non-expansive import fill for
on building pads and use of a reinforced mat foundation system. Specific standards and criteria
are presented in the TRC report that address both earthwork (pgs. 8-9) and foundations (pgs. 12-
16). Additionally, TRC has recommended that (i) the structural engineer for the project to design
foundations to accommodate the anticipated settlement, (ii) that roof gutter water be collected in
a closed conduit and taken to an acceptable discharge point, (iii) that positive drainage be
provided to direct water away from residential foundations, and (iv) avoid use of pressurize irrigate
lines for any landscaped areas that are adjacent to building foundations.
TRC states that the resistivity testing indicates the soils to be very severely corrosive, although
water-soluble sulphate ion concentrations appear to indicate that the corrosion hazard associated
with sulfates to be negligible. Given that the water table on the site is relatively near the surface,
TRC recommends there is a significant corrosion potential to metallic objects that are in contact
with the ground. TRC has recommended that the developer retain a corrosion protection engineer
to determine if additional testing is needed, and/or provide corrosion protection measures for
buried metallic materials (underground utility lines, fire hydrant risers, etc.)
Mitigation Measures are recommended to avoid / control damage from expansive soil, including
(a) import of non-expansive fill for use on the building pads and (b) use of a reinforced concrete
post tension slab foundation system. The geotechnical engineer’s conceptual approach to
mitigation of the adverse soil conditions is clear. However, some further design details are needed
in the Updated Geotechnical Report.
Implementation of mitigation measure GEO-2 will address potential impacts to soil expansion,
which would be reduced to a less than significant level.
e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of
wastewater? (Less than Significant Impact)
The project site is not currently served by the Delta-Diablo Sanitary District. However, the applicant
will need to annex into the Delta-Diablo district. Furthermore, there will be no septic systems
proposed for the project.
f) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature? (Less than Significant w ith Mitigation)

The possible opportunity for fossil material to be exposed would occur during trenching for utility
lines (including storm drainage, sewers, domestic water, electrical and TV cable). Trenches would
likely penetrate native soils and the underlying alluvium. Therefore, the role of the paleontologist
(or archaeologist) would be limited to providing monitoring services during trenching operations.
Standard CDD practice is to require that work shall stop if such materials are uncovered during
grading, trenching, or other onsite earthwork until a certified paleontologist has had an
opportunity to evaluate the significance of the find and suggest appropriate mitigation as deemed
necessary.
Nevertheless, the following mitigation measure will address any unexpected discovery or find
which may occur during the construction phase of the project.
Impact GEO-4: Unexpected discovery or find may occur during the construction phase of
the project.
Mitigation Measure GEO-4: The following General Notes shall be placed on Sheets that show
drainage improvements and utility improvements.
• The underground/ grading contractor shall provide a minimum of 24-hour notice
to the entity charged with providing the monitoring services.
• The entity that is providing the monitoring service shall be identified (name of firm,
mailing address, phone number, and email).

8. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS – Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either
directly or indirectly, that may have a
significant impact on the environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or
regulation adopted for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of greenhouse
gases?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have
a significant impact on the environment? (Less than Significant Impact)
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global climate
change. Greenhouse gases include gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and
various fluorocarbons commonly found in aerosol sprays. Typically, a single residential or
commercial construction project in the County would not generate enough greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions to substantially change the global average temperature; however, the accumulation of
GHG emissions from all projects both within the County and outside the County has contributed
and will contribute to global climate change.
Senate Bill 97 directed the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop CEQA
Guidelines for evaluation of GHG emissions impacts and recommend mitigation strategies. In
response, OPR released the Technical Advisory: CEQA and Climate Change, and proposed
revisions to the State CEQA guidelines (April 14, 2009) for consideration of GHG emissions. The
California Natural Resources Agency adopted the proposed State CEQA Guidelines revisions on
December 30, 2009 and the revisions were effective beginning March 18, 2010.
The bright-line numeric threshold of 1,100 MT CO2/yr is a numeric emissions level below which a
project’s contribution to global climate change would be less than “cumulatively considerable.”
This emissions rate is equivalent to a project size of an approximately 541,000-square-foot
industrial use. Future construction of 15 single-family residences and related improvements would
create some GHG emissions; however, the amount generated would be below the above-noted
emission rate and not result in a significant adverse environmental impact. As the project does
not exceed the screening criteria, the project would not result in the generation of GHG emissions
that exceed the threshold of significance.
b) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose
of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? (Less than Significant Impact)

At a regional scale, the BAAQMD adopted the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan that addresses GHG
emissions as well as various criteria air pollutants. The BAAQMD Plan included a number of
pollutant reduction strategies for the San Francisco Bay air basin, many of which would be included
in the project through Title 24 energy efficiency requirement for the expected new residences.
Within Contra Costa County, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors convened a Climate
Change Working Group (CCWG) in May 2005, to identify existing County activities and policies
that could reduce GHG emissions. In November 2005, the CCWG presented its Climate Protection
Report to the Board of Supervisors, which included a list of existing and potential GHG reduction
measures. This led to the quantification of relevant County information on GHGs in the December
2008 Municipal Climate Action Plan.
In April 2012, the Board directed the Department of Conservation and Development to prepare a
Climate Action Plan (CAP) to address the reduction of GHG emissions in the unincorporated areas
of the County. In December 2015, the Climate Action Plan was adopted by the Board of
Supervisors. The Climate Action Plan includes a number of GHG emission reduction strategies. The
strategies include measures such as implementing standards for green buildings and energy-
efficient buildings, reducing parking requirements, and reducing waste disposal. Green building
codes and debris recovery programs are among the strategies currently implemented by the
County.
The project does not conflict with the policies outlined in the CAP. The project will incorporate
Contra Costa County Climate Action Plan (CCC) emission reduction measures (as referenced in
Appendix E “Developer Checklist” of the CCC). The checklist will be submitted to the Community
Development Division prior to issuance of a building permit for each residence. Implementation
of these emission reduction measures is considered a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy under
the CCC and therefore meets the BAAQMD’s GHG threshold. The project would not conflict with
the CAP and therefore would not be considered to have a significant impact.

materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or
the environment through reasonably
foreseeable upset and accident conditions
involving the release of hazardous materials

response plan or emergency evacuation
plan?

or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury
or death involving wildland fires?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine
transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? (Less than Significant)
The project site is a vacant lot and there will be no demolition of buildings. However, during
construction, both within the project site and within the areas proposed for the off-site
improvements, the proposed project would be expected to involve the transport, use, and disposal
of hazardous materials, such as diesel fuels, aerosols, and paints. The proposed project would be
subject to the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, California Public Resources Code, and
other State and local regulations that would reduce and limit the associated risks. Any handling,

transporting, use, or disposal would comply with applicable laws, policies, and programs set forth
by various federal, State, and local agencies and regulations.
During project operations, hazardous materials may be handled on the project site. Because of
the nature of the project, hazardous materials used on-site may vary but would likely be limited
to small quantities of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, solvents, cleaning agents, and similar
materials used for daily residential operations and maintenance activities. These types of materials
are common for residential developments such as the project and represent a low risk to people
and the environment when used as intended. Further, compliance with applicable plans and
regulations, would provide public protection from hazards associated with the use, transport,
treatment, and disposal of hazardous substances. Therefore, operational impacts related to public
hazard risk as a result of hazardous materials transport, use, or disposal would be less than
significant.
b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably
foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous materials into
the environment? (Less than Significant Impact)
Construction activity would be expected to involve the transport, use, and disposal of hazardous
materials, such as diesel fuels, aerosols, and paints. The use of these materials would be subject
to the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, California Public Resources Code, and other State
and local regulations that would limit the use of hazardous materials and reduce the associated
risks of exposure. Any handling, transporting, use, or disposal would comply with applicable laws,
policies, and programs set forth by various federal, State, and local agencies and regulations,
including the Environmental Protection Agency, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,
Caltrans, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, and the Contra Costa County Hazardous
Materials Program. Therefore, construction impacts related to hazardous materials upset risk
would be less than significant.
The project proposes construction of 15 residences and related subdivision improvements,
landscaping, and open space. As such, the proposed project would not be expected to include
industrial or retail development that involves hazardous materials such as gas stations, paint
stores, or auto parts stores. Unlike industrial or retail facilities, residential development does not
involve the type or quantity of hazardous materials that could pose a significant environmental
accident.
Small quantities of hazardous materials would be used on-site during operation of the project,
but not in sufficient quantities to create significant hazard in the unlikely event of upset or
accident. These types of materials are common in such residential projects and represent a low
risk to people and the environment when used as intended and would not be expected to result

in the release of hazardous materials into the environment. As such, operational impacts related
to hazardous materials upset risk would be less than significant.
c) Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? (No Impact)
There are no existing or proposed schools located within a quarter mile of the project site. The
closest schools to the site are Willow Cove Elementary School, located at 1880 Hanlon Way, in
Pittsburg and Bel Air Elementary School, located at 663 Canal Road, in Bay Point. Willow Cove
Elementary is approximately 0.69 miles southeast of the project site and Bel Aire Elementary
School is 0.68 miles south of the project site. Thus, construction and operational impacts related
to hazardous emissions proximate to a school would be less than significant.
d) Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a
significant hazard to the public or the environment? (No Impact)
Pursuant to the Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List (Cortese) maintained by the California
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the project site is not categorized as a hazardous
materials site.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard
or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? (No Impact)
The project site is located approximately 6.84 miles northeast from the Buchanan Field Airport.
There would be no safety hazard or excessive noise related to a public airport or public use airport.
f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (Less than Significant Impact)
The project site is accessed from Pullman Avenue in Bay Point. Willow Pass Road is parallel to
Pullman Avenue. There are a number of streets off of Willow Pass Road that are perpendicular and
would end at Pullman Avenue going north. The project will provide two access points from
Pullman Avenue to serve the 15 lots. The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD)
has reviewed the project plans and provided routine comments for the site. The project site is
designed in accordance with the CCCFPD’s and the County’s standards to accommodate
emergency vehicle access by providing two points of access that would be available to emergency
vehicles. The Fire Protection District would review the construction drawings for the project at the
time of submittal of a building permit application. Thus, project impacts related to emergency
response and evacuation would be less than significant.

g) Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of

The project site is located within a “Urban Unzoned” Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) in a Local
Responsibility Area as indicated in the County’s mapping system in Accela. The fire hazard severity
zones reflect the degree of severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in the area. The
construction of the new residences would be subject to building standards required for structures
within “Urban Unzoned” Fire Hazard Severity Zones. The building standard for the Fire Hazard
Severity Zones would be enforced as the project goes through the plan checking process with the
Building Inspection Division and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. As the project
will comply with these standards, there would be a less than significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving exposure of people or structures to wildland fires.

discharge requirements or otherwise
substantially degrade surface or ground
water quality?
b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies
or interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge such that the project may impede
sustainable groundwater management of
the basin?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage
pattern of area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river
or through the addition of impervious
surfaces, in a manner which would:
i) Result in substantial erosion or siltation
on- or off-site?
ii) Substantially increase the rate or
amount of surface runoff in a manner
which would result in flooding on- or

or provide substantial additional sources
of polluted runoff?
iv) Impede or redirect flood flows?
d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk

e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of
a water quality control plan or sustainable
groundwater management plan?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or
otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? (Less than Significant Impact)
The proposed project would comply with applicable water quality and discharge requirements.
Contra Costa County, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and
16 incorporated cities in the county have formed the Contra Costa Clean Water Program. In
October 2009, the Regional Water Quality Control Board for the San Francisco Bay Region
(RWQCB) adopted the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Regional Permit for the Program, which regulates discharges from municipal storm drains.

Provision C.3 of the Municipal Regional Permit places requirements on site design to minimize
creation of impervious surfaces and control stormwater runoff. The County has the authority to
enforce compliance with its Municipal Regional Permit through the County’s adopted C.3
requirements. The C.3 requirements stipulate that projects creating and/or redeveloping at least
10,000 square feet of impervious surface shall treat stormwater runoff with permanent stormwater
management facilities, along with measures to control runoff rates and volumes. Due to the
potential impervious areas that would be created for to the residential and access improvements
on the site (approximately 54,553 square feet), this project triggers threshold requiring submittal
of a Stormwater Control Plan (SWCP).
The SWCP prepared for the proposed project identifies Low Impact Development (LID) design
strategies that optimizes site layout, use of permeable pavements, dispersal of runoff to pervious
areas, and bioretention or other Integrated Management Practices. The applicant provided
Preliminary Stormwater Control Plan dated October 2021 that is deemed to be preliminarily
complete, however, it remains subject to future revision, as necessary, during preparation of
improvement plans to bring it into full compliance with C.3 stormwater requirements.
With implementation of the practicable stormwater controls, the project would be compliant with
applicable water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, resulting in a less than
significant impact.
b) Would the project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management
of the basin? (Less than Significant Impact)
The proposed project would have new impervious surfaces of approximately 54,553 square feet.
However, the proposed project would incorporate LID techniques as described in the SWCP, some
of which allows natural filtration into project soils and naturally recharge ground water. The
proposed project would not interfere substantially with groundwater supply, recharge, or
groundwater management. Therefore, potential impacts related to the groundwater recharge and
supply would be less than significant.
c) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a
manner which would:
i) Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? (Less than Significant Impact)

adequate storm drainage system, to an adequate natural watercourse having a definable
bed and banks or to an existing adequate public storm drainage system which conveys the
storm water to an adequate natural watercourse. The site generally slopes towards the
north. A 30-inch storm drain, Line B of Drainage Area 48D, is located along the northern
property line. Line B ultimately discharges into the Delta. The proposed development of DA
48D the project site was originally zoned as light industrial, and Line B was sized accordingly.
The project proposes a less dense use therefore the receiving system is adequate to handle
runoff from the development. Four bioretention basins are proposed to capture and treat
the stormwater runoff. All bioretention basins will then discharge into the storm drain
system located north easterly of the project along the railroad property. No runoff will be
directly discharged to the drainage systems outside of the project site. As such, the
proposed project would result in a less than significant impact regarding erosion or siltation
on- or off-site.
ii) Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result
in flooding on- or off-site? (Less than Significant Impact)
The proposed project would comply with regulations of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit consistent with Division 1014 of the Ordinance Code.
The site generally slopes towards the north. A 30-inch storm drain, Line B of Drainage Area
48D, is located along the northern property line. Line B ultimately discharges into the Delta.
For the proposed development of DA 48D the project site was originally zoned as light
industrial, and Line B was sized accordingly. The project proposes a less dense use therefore
the receiving system is adequate to handle runoff from the development. Therefore, the
project would not result in substantial on- or off-site flooding.
iii) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the project is not located
in area that is within a Special Flood Hazard Area. Furthermore, the improvements on the
site are not expected to create any barrier that would impede or redirect flood flows, should
flooding occur.
d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, would the project risk release of pollutants due to project
inundation? (Less than Significant Impact)
The property does not lie within the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year flood boundary) as
designated on the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map. The
project site is not located near the ocean, and as such would not be susceptible to inundation
from a tsunami. The project site is not immediately located near a large, enclosed body of water
and as such would not be susceptible to inundation from a seiche. As a result, the project site
would not be a risk for inundation from flooding, tsunami, or seiche. Therefore, impacts related to
risk of pollutant release due to inundation would be less than significant.
e) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or
sustainable groundwater management plan? (Less than Significant Impact)
As stated above, the proposed project would comply with applicable water quality and discharge
requirements. Provision C.3 of the Municipal Regional Permit places requirements on site design
to minimize creation of impervious surfaces and control stormwater runoff. The Stormwater
Control Plan (SWCP) prepared for the proposed project includes stormwater controls as required
by the Contra Costa Clean Water Program and Municipal Regional Permit. Thus, the project would
not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan.

11. LAND USE AND PLANNING – Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Cause a significant environmental impact
due to conflict with any land use plan, policy,
or regulation adopted for the purpose of
avoiding or mitigating an environmental
effect?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project physically divide an established community? (No Impact)
The subject property is a vacant lot. The surrounding properties to the west, south, and further
east are primarily residential uses. Directly north of the subject property is the UPRR railroad and
further north is the BNSF railroad. The project proposes 15 residences with two access points to
the project site from Pullman Avenue. Thus, the project would not physically divide any of the
nearby communities, or even adversely impact the manner in which people enter or exit those
communities.
b) Would the project cause a significant environmental impact due to conflict with any land use plan,
policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?
(Less than Significant Impact)
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Single-Family Residential-High Density
(SH). The SH designation allows for densities between 5.0 – 7.2 units per net acre. Primary land
uses permitted in this designation include detached single-family homes and accessory buildings
and structures. The proposed project would subdivide the property into 15 residential lots on a
net acre of 2.41 or a density of 6.0 dwelling units per net acre, consistent with the general plan.
The project also includes the rezoning of property from Heavy Industrial Zoning District (H-1),
Railroad Corridor Combining District (-X) to a Planned Unit District (P-1) and a preliminary and
final development plan that proposes the standards for this development. The proposed project
would result in 15 lots ranging in size from 3,821 – 6,114 square feet. The residences will range in
living area from approximately 1,829 – 2,559 square feet and consist of one and two-stories
buildings.
In rezoning the approximately 2.88-acre site to a P-1 requires a minimum of five acres. As such,
the project includes a variance to the minimum lot size required to rezone the project site to P-1.
The project is also subject to the County’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and has elected to pay
the in-lieu fee. The project also proposes the removal of five code-protected trees. Replanting of
trees will be required. Overall, the project would not conflict with applicable land use plans,

12. MINERAL RESOURCES – Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known
mineral resource that would be of value to
the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-
important mineral resource recovery site
delineated on a local general plan, specific
plan or other land use plan?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of
value to the region and the residents of the state? (No Impact)
Pursuant to Figure 8-4 (Mineral Resource Areas) of the County General Plan, the project site is not
located within any area of the County identified as a significant mineral resource area. Therefore,
there is no potential for the proposed project resulting in the loss of availability of a known mineral
resource.
b) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery
site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? (No Impact)
Pursuant to Figure 8-4 (Mineral Resource Areas) of the County General Plan, the project site is not
located within any area of the County identified as a significant mineral resource area. Therefore,
there is no potential for the proposed project resulting in the loss of availability of a locally-
important mineral resource recovery site.

13. NOISE – Would the project result in:
a) Generation of a substantial temporary or
permanent increase in ambient noise levels
in the vicinity of the project in excess of
standards established in the local general
plan or noise ordinance, or applicable
standards of other agencies?
b) Generation of excessive groundborne
vibration or groundborne noise levels?
c) For a project located within the vicinity of a
private airstrip or an airport land use plan or,
where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public
use airport, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in
ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local
general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? (Less than
Significant Impact with Mitigation)
The Noise Element of the Contra Costa County General Plan discusses the County’s goal to
improve the overall environment in the County by reducing annoying and physically harmful levels
of noise for existing and future residents, and for all land uses. According to the Land Use
Compatibility for Community Noise Environments chart (Figure 11-6) in the County General Plan,
environments with ambient noise levels of up to 60 dBA (decibels) Ldn (day night average sound
level) are considered “normally acceptable” and noise levels between 55 dB to 70 dB are
“conditionally acceptable” in single-family residential areas. Pursuant to Policy 11-4 of the Noise
Element, an interior noise level standard of 45 dBA Ldn or less for single-family residential
development.
According to the County’s GIS and the County’s General Plan Noise Contour map (Figure 11-5C),
the subject property is located within a noise level of 60 dBA. The major noise sources affecting
the project site are vehicular traffic along the local roadway network south of the project site and
the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) line and a Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway
directly north of the project site. Pullman Avenue is along the frontage of the property. Vehicular
traffic generated by the 15 proposed residences in the project, along with noise typically
associated with single-family residences (e.g., yard maintenance, recreation, etc.), would increase
noise levels in the vicinity of the project site. However, the types and levels of noise generated
from the 15 proposed residences in the subdivision would be similar to noise levels from the

existing residential developments in the area, and therefore, the impact on ambient noise levels
in the vicinity would be less than significant.
According to the Noise Study prepared by Saxelby Acoustics LLC dated October 22, 2021, exterior
noise levels at the proposed residential uses are predicted to be 61 dBA Ldn or less. This falls
under the “Conditionally Acceptable” range as indicated under Figure 11-6 (Land Use
Compatibility for Community Noise Environments) of the County’s General Plan Noise Element.
For this range, the County requires building construction to be analyzed to ensure that interior
noise levels do not exceed 45 dBA Ldn.
Modern building construction methods typically yield an exterior-to-interior noise level reduction
of 25 dBA. Therefore, where exterior noise levels are 70 dBA Ldn, or less, no additional interior
noise control measures are typically required. For this project, exterior noise levels are predicted
to be less than 61 dBA Ldn, resulting in an interior noise level of less than 36 dBA Ldn based on
typical building construction. In addition, the California Building Code requires an interior noise
level standard of 45 dBA Ldn. Therefore, no additional noise control measures would be required
to meet the County’s interior noise level standard.
During project grading and construction there may be periods of time where there would be loud
noise from construction equipment, vehicles, and tools. Although grading and construction
activities would be temporary, such activities could have a potentially significant adverse
environmental impact during project construction. Consequently, the project proponent is
required to implement the noise mitigation measure NOI-1 to bring potential noise impacts to a
less than significant level.
Impact NOI-1: Construction related activities could generate a temporary increase in
ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project.
Mitigation Measure NOI-1: The following noise reduction measures shall be implemented
during project construction and shall be included on all construction plans.
1. Unless specifically approved otherwise via prior authorization from the Zoning
Administrator, all construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 8:00 A.M.
to 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, and are prohibited on State and Federal
holidays on the calendar dates that these holidays are observed by the State or
Federal government as listed below:

2. The applicant shall make a good faith effort to minimize project-related disruptions
to adjacent properties, and to uses on the site. This shall be communicated to all
project-related contractors.
3. The applicant shall require their contractors and subcontractors to fit all internal
combustion engines with mufflers which are in good condition and shall locate
stationary noise-generating equipment such as air compressors as far away from
existing residences as possible.
4. Large trucks and heavy equipment are subject to the same restrictions that are
imposed on construction activities, except that the hours shall be limited to
weekdays between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. and prohibited on State
and Federal holidays.
b) Would the project result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise
levels? (Less than Significant Impact)
Project construction activities includes minimal grading of approximately 2,000 cubic yards of cut
and fill that will be balanced on-site. Grading will occur temporarily at the site during construction
and the amount of ground borne vibration or noise generated by the project will be less than
significant.

14. POPULATION AND HOUSING – Would the project:
a) Induce substantial unplanned population
growth in an area, either directly (e.g., by
proposing new homes and businesses) or
indirectly (e.g., through extension of roads or
other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing
people or housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (e.g.,
by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (e.g., through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)? (Less than Significant Impact)
The proposed project would result in the construction of 15 single-family residences, resulting in
approximately 43 persons. This amount is a non-substantial increase in the population. The subject
property is proposed for a rezoning to a Planned Unit District. The proposed uses for this district
would allow for residential uses and the project is consistent with the County’s General Plan.
Therefore, the potential to induce a substantial unplanned population growth, either directly or
indirectly, would be less than significant.
b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (Less than Significant Impact)
The subject property is a vacant lot. The proposed project consists of constructing 15 single-family
residences that will provide the much-needed housing to the area. The project is also subject to

15. PUBLIC SERVICES – Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts
associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new
or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire Protection?
b) Police Protection?
c) Schools?
d) Parks?
e) Other public facilities?
SUMMARY:
Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or
physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable
service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire Protection? (Less than Significant Impact)
Fire protection and emergency medical response services for the project vicinity are provided by
the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. Fire protection to the project site would be
provided by Station No. 86 located at 3000 Willow Pass Road in Bay Point (approximately 0.62
miles of driving distance to the site). Using an average travel speed of 35 miles per hour, an engine
responding from Station No. 86 would take approximately 1 minute 4 seconds to reach the project
site, which is under the five-minute response standard set by the County General Plan. In addition,
as detailed in the comment letter for the proposed project from the Fire District, the project is
required to comply with the applicable provisions of the California Fire Code, the California
Building Code, and applicable Contra Costa County Ordinances that pertain to emergency access,
fire suppression systems, and fire detection/warning systems. Prior to the issuance of building
permits, the construction drawings would be reviewed and approved by the fire district. All homes
will be equipped with an automatic fire suppression sprinkler system. As a result, potential impacts
of the proposed project relating to fire protection would be less than significant.
b) Police Protection? (Less than Significant Impact)

47
Police protection services in the project vicinity are provided by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s
Office, which provides patrol service to the Bay Point area. The County General Plan Policy 7-57
indicates a Sheriff facility standard of 155 square feet of Sheriff station space per 1,000 persons of
population. The proposed project would increase the population of unincorporated Contra Costa
County by approximately 43 persons, which is less than the facility standard and is a non-
substantial increase. Thus, the addition of 15 single-family residences to the project area would
not significantly affect the provision of police services to the area.
c) Schools? (Less than Significant Impact)
The project site is within the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. The average size of a household in
the Contra Costa County area is approximately 2.85 persons per household. The project consists
of 15 single-family residences and would result in approximately 43 persons. Conservatively, an
estimated 1 in 3 persons per household may be children between the ages of five to 19. The
project would result in approximately 14 school-age children. This increase of 14 students would
not significantly impact the district. Furthermore, the applicant would be required to pay school
impact fees to the Mt. Diablo Unified, which would assist to expand facilities to address increased
demand.
d) Parks? (Less than Significant Impact)
The average size of a household in the Contra Costa County area is approximately 2.85 persons
per household. The proposed project would increase the population by approximately 43 persons.
As a result, there would be an increase in use of parks in the surrounding area. These parks provide
recreational facilities such as playgrounds, picnic and barbecue areas, and youth and adult
recreational programs. A Park Impact Fee is required to be paid by the applicant prior to issuance
of a building permit. Additionally, the project includes a common open space area to be used as
a park by the residents of the 15 lots. The open space area is approximately 3,544 square feet and
is identified as Parcel C. Given the project’s negligible addition to the population, the impacts of
the proposed project on parks would be less than significant.
e) Other public facilities? (Less than Significant Impact)
Libraries:
The Contra Costa Library operates 28 facilities in Contra Costa County, including the Bay Point
Library at 205 Pacifica Avenue in Bay Point (approximately 1.64 miles driving distance). The Contra
Costa Library system is primarily funded by local property taxes, with additional revenue from
intergovernmental sources. A portion of the property taxes on the project site will contribute to

the Contra Costa Library system. Accordingly, the impact of the use of the public libraries by the
residents of the 15 lots created would be less than significant.
Health Facilities:
The Contra Costa County Health Services Department (CCCHSD) operates a regional medical
center (hospital) and 11 health centers and clinics in the County. County health facilities generally
serve low income and uninsured patients. CCCHSD is primarily funded by federal and state funding
programs, with additional revenue from local taxes, including a portion of the taxes on the project
site. Thus, the impact of the use of public health facilities by the residents of the 15 lots created
would be less than significant.

16. RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of
existing neighborhood and regional parks or
other recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the
facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational
facilities or require the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities, which
might have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be
accelerated? (Less than Significant Impact)
The proposed project involves a subdivision of a 2.88-acre project site into 15 residential lots. The
population in the project area would be increased by approximately 43 persons. This population
growth could incrementally increase use of parks and recreational facilities in the area. However,
the negligible increase in population is not expected to impact recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facilities would occur or be accelerated. The 15 new
single-family residences are also subject to a Park Impact Fee, paid by the applicant prior to
issuance of a building permit. Additionally, the proposed project includes an on-site common

open space area on Parcel C for use by the new residents of the 15 lots. Therefore, the increase in
use of the parks and recreational facilities would be less than significant.
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? (Less
than Significant Impact)
As described above, use of public recreational facilities by potential new residents would
incrementally increase use of existing facilities, but would not result in the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities. Furthermore, the proposed project includes an on-site
common open space area on Parcel C for use by the new residents of the 15 lots.

17. TRANSPORTATION – Would the project:
a) Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or
policy addressing the circulation system,
including transit, roadway, bicycle, and
pedestrian facilities?
b) Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.3(b)?
c) Substantially increase hazards due to a
geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves
or dangerous intersections) or incompatible
uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
d) Result in inadequate emergency access?
SUMMARY:
a) Would the project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation
system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities? (Less than Significant
Impact)
Policy 4-c of the Growth Management Element of the General Plan requires a traffic impact
analysis of any project that is estimated to generate 100 or more additional AM or PM peak-hour
trips. The proposed project consisting of a 15-lot subdivision would generate an estimated 11 AM
and 15 PM peak-hour trips, and therefore, is not required to have a project-specific traffic impact
analysis. Since the project would yield less than 100 peak hour AM or PM trips, the proposed
project would not conflict with the circulation system in the Bay Point area.

The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is responsible for ensuring local government
conformance with the Congestion Management Program (CMP), a program aimed at reducing
regional traffic congestion. The CMP requires that each local jurisdiction identify existing and
future transportation facilities that will operate below an acceptable service level and provide
mitigation where future growth degrades that service level. The Contra Costa Transportation
Authority has review responsibility for proposed development projects that are expected to
generate 100 or more additional peak-hours trips. As the project would yield less than 100
additional peak hour AM or PM trips, the proposed project would not conflict with the CMP and
would result in a less than significant impact.
The site is located north of Pullman Avenue, a County maintained road. Pullman Avenue is
approximately 32 feet paved within a 52-foot right of way. The applicant would not be required
to dedicate additional right of way or further widen the pavement along Pullman Avenue.
However, the applicant will be required to install concrete curb ramps, curb, gutter, and minimum
5-foot wide sidewalk (width measured from face of curb), longitudinal and transverse drainage,
and street lighting, as necessary, along the project frontage. Many of these improvements have
already been installed but may need to be modified to accommodate the proposed onsite
improvements.
The proposed subdivision will gain access via two private roads off Pullman Avenue. Street “B” is
located north of the intersections of Fairview Avenue and Pullman Avenue and Street “A” is located
north of the intersection of Gibson Avenue and Pullman Avenue. Both roads will have a paved
width of 20 feet with right of way width varying from 25 feet to 30 feet. Both streets end in a
hammerhead turnaround near the northern property line.
The goal of the CCTA Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (CBPP) is to encourage biking and
walking through improvements to the countywide bicycle and pedestrian network. The CBPP
identifies the existing and proposed bicycle and pedestrian facilities network throughout Contra
Costa County. The 2018 CBPP3, the most recent version of the plan, reflects the latest state and
local policies, standards, and best practices for bicycle and pedestrian projects. The 2018 CBPP
identifies a Low-Stress Countywide Bikeway Network. The project would not conflict with future
implementation of a Class I off-street separated path that would run in its vicinity, as identified in
the 2018 CBPP.
The County’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance requires a residential project
with 13 or more units to develop a TDM program. Since the project involves 15 lots, submittal of
a TDM Program would be required for the review and approval of the Department of Conservation
and Development, Community Development Division, prior to issuance of a building permit for
the project. Overall, the project will not interfere with existing transit, bicycle and pedestrian
facilities and therefore, would have a less-than-significant impact.

than Significant)
In analyzing land use projects under CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b), vehicle miles traveled
(VMT) exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact. On June
23, 2020, in compliance with SB 743 (2013), the Board of Supervisors adopted Transportation
Analysis Guidelines (TAG)1, which defines the County’s approach to analyzing VMT impacts from
certain projects. As a result of SB 743, VMT is the metric used to define transportation impacts in
a CEQA review. The VMT screening criteria for projects consisting of 20 residential or less will not
require a VMT analysis. The proposed project consisting of a 15-lot subdivision, which would
generate an estimated 11 AM and 15 PM peak-hour trips. Therefore, the project is not required
to have a project-specific traffic impact analysis. Since the project would yield less than 100 peak
hour AM or PM trips, the proposed project would have a less than significant impact and would
not conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b).
c) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp
curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? (Less than
Significant Impact)
The site is located north of Pullman Avenue, a County maintained road. Pullman Avenue is
approximately 32 feet paved within a 52-foot right of way. The applicant will not be required to
dedicate additional right of way along or further widen the pavement along Pullman Avenue.
However, the applicant will be required to install concrete curb ramps, curb, gutter, and minimum
5-foot-wide sidewalk (width measured from face of curb), longitudinal and transverse drainage,
and street lighting, as necessary, along the project frontage. Many of these improvements have
already been installed but may need to be modified to accommodate the proposed onsite
improvements.
Based on the vesting tentative map, the subdivision will gain access via two private roads off
Pullman Avenue. Street “B” is located north of the intersections of Fairview Avenue and Pullman
Avenue and Street “A” is located north of the intersection of Gibson Avenue and Pullman Avenue.
Both roads will have a paved width of 20 feet with right of way width varying from 25 feet to 30
feet. Both streets end in a hammerhead turnaround near the northern property line. As indicated
in their letter dated September 2, 2021, the CCCFPD concluded that site access a turnaround area
as shown on the site plan appear to comply with the Fire District’s requirement. As such, impacts
would be less than significant.
d) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? (Less than Significant Impact)
The site plan was reviewed by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) in
September 2021. As indicated in their letter dated September 2, 2021, the CCCFPD concluded that

18. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES – Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in
the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as
either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size
and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native
American tribe, and that is:
a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California
Register of Historical Resources, or in a local
register of historical resources as defined in
Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k)?
b) A resource determined by the lead agency,
in its discretion and supported by substantial
evidence, to be significant pursuant to
criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public
Resources Code Section 5024.1?
SUMMARY:
Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource,
defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is
geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with

a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register
of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k)? (Less than
Significant with Mitigation)
As discussed in the Cultural Resources section of this Initial Study, no historical resources are
known to exist on the project site. Further, according to the County’s Archaeological Sensitivities
Map, Figure 9-2, of the County General Plan, the subject site is located in an area that is considered
“largely urbanized area.” Given all of these factors, there is little potential for the project to impact
cultural resources on the site. Nevertheless, the expected construction and grading would cause
ground disturbance which may impact heretofore undocumented cultural resources. However,

implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would reduce this impact during project related
work to a level that would be considered less than significant.
Impact TRIBAL CUL-1: The project could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site,
feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of
the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and
that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local
register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k). The expected
construction and grading could cause ground disturbance which may impact heretofore
undocumented cultural resources.
Pursuant to Section 21080.3.1 of the California Public Resources Code (PRC), correspondence
detailing the proposed project was provided to the Wilton Rancheria Indian Tribe on April 13,
2022. The correspondence formally notified the Wilton Rancheria Indian Tribe of their opportunity
to request consultation with the County regarding the potential for the project impacting tribal
cultural resources, as defined in Section 21074 of PRC. The Tribe indicated in their correspondence
they had no concern regarding the project. Therefore, the proposed project would result in a less
than significant potential for the proposed project impacting tribal cultural resources.
The project could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural
resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural

A memo prepared by the Northwest Information Center dated September 15, 2021 indicates that
previous studies were prepared for the project area. There were two studies prepared, Study
#30192 (Allan 2005) and Study #19778 (Eastman 1997) that identified no cultural resources within
the project area. Based on the results of Study #30192 (Allan 2005), the project area has a low

possibility of containing unrecorded archeological site(s). No further study for archaeological
resources is recommended.
While unlikely, subsurface construction activities always have the potential to damage or destroy
previously undiscovered historic resources such as wood, stone, foundations, and other structural
remains; debris-filled wells or privies; and deposits of wood, glass, ceramics, and other refuse, if
encountered. This would represent a potentially significant impact related to historic resources.

resources.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would reduce the impact to undiscovered
historical resources to a less than significant level.

a) Require or result in the relocation or
construction of new or expanded water,
wastewater treatment, or storm water
drainage, electric power, natural gas, or
telecommunication facilities, the
construction or relocation of which could
cause significant environmental effects?
b) Have sufficient water supplies available to

multiple dry years?
c) Result in a determination by the wastewater
treatment provider, which serves or may
serve the project that it has adequate
capacity to serve the project’s projected

facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects?
(Less than Significant Impact)
There is a 15-inch sewer main running along Pullman and another sewer main 20-inch running
behind the project site, parallel to the railroad tracks. Both sewer mains run into the district’s sewer
trunk line for this area, about 400 feet from the project site. The project site is not currently served
by Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDSD) and would need to be annexed into the district. The
applicant has initiated the process to annex the project site into the district for the 15 lots. Prior
to the submittal of building permits, DDSD will review the submittal for conformance with their
development standards and will require any potential upgrades at that time. By meeting the
development standards of DDSD, the proposed project is expected to be accommodated by
existing DDSD facilities without expansion of the wastewater treatment system.
The site generally slopes towards the north. A 30-inch storm drain, Line B of Drainage Area 48D,
is located along the northern property line. Line B ultimately discharges into the Delta. The
proposed development of DA 48D the project site was originally zoned as light industrial, and Line
B was sized accordingly. Four bioretention basins are proposed to capture and treat the
stormwater runoff. All bioretention basins will then discharge into the storm drain system located
north easterly of the project along the railroad property. No runoff will be directly discharged to
the drainage systems outside of the project site. The project proposes a less dense use and
therefore, the receiving system is adequate to handle runoff from the development.
Expanded service for 15 proposed residences would not require construction of new off-site
wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunication
facilities.
b) Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably
foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years? (Less than
Significant Impact)
The project site currently receives water service from the Golden State Water District (GSWD). The
project shall be submitted to and reviewed by GSWD, and, by meeting the development standards
of GSWD, the proposed project could be expected to be accommodated by existing water facilities

without expansion of the existing system. Accordingly, the impact of providing water service to
the proposed project would be less than significant.
c) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves
or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in
addition to the provider’s existing commitments? (Less than Significant Impact)
There is a 15-inch sewer main running along Pullman and another sewer main 20-inch running
behind the project site, parallel to the railroad tracks. Both sewer mains run into the district’s sewer
trunk line for this area, about 400 feet from the project site. The project site is not currently served

existing DDSD facilities without expansion of the wastewater treatment system.
d) Would the project generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the
capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals?
(Less than Significant Impact)
The proposed project would generate construction solid waste and post-construction residential
solid waste. Construction waste in Contra Costa County is diverted away from landfills and recycled
through the three established transfer stations in the County. Construction on the project site
would be subject to the CalGreen Construction and Demolition Debris Recovery Program
administered by the CDD at the time of application for a building permit. The Debris Recovery
Program would eliminate the construction debris headed to the landfill by diverting materials that
can be recycled to appropriate recycling facilities.
With respect to residential solid waste, the receiving landfill is the Keller Canyon Landfill, located
at 901 Bailey Road in Bay Point. Keller Canyon is estimated to be at 15 percent of capacity.
Residential waste from the proposed project would incrementally add to the operational waste
headed to the landfill; however, the impact of the project-related residential waste is considered
to be less than significant. A portion of the residential waste is expected to be recycled and would
thereby reduce the residential waste headed to the landfill.
e) Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and
regulations related to solid waste? (Less than Significant Impact)
The proposed project would comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws related to solid
waste. The project includes single-family residential land use that would not result in the

20. WILDFIRE – If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire
hazard severity zones, would the project:
a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation
plan?
b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other
factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and
thereby, expose project occupants to
pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or
the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
c) Require the installation or maintenance of
associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel
breaks, emergency water sources, power
lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate
fire risk or that may result in temporary or
ongoing impacts to the environment?
d) Expose people or structures to significant
risks, including downslope or downstream
flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff,
post-fire slope instability, or drainage
changes?
SUMMARY:
If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones,
would the project:
a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (Less
than Significant Impact)
The project site is located within a “Urban Unzoned” Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) in a Local
Responsibility Area as indicated in the County’s mapping system in Accela. The fire hazard severity
zones reflect the degree of severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in the area. The
construction of the new residences would be subject to building standards required for structures
within “Urban Unzoned” Fire Hazard Severity Zones. The building standard for the Fire Hazard
Severity Zones would be enforced as the project goes through the plan checking process with the
Building Inspection Division and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. Thus, the project
would have a less than significant impact

result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? (Less than Significant Impact)
The project site is currently vacant. However, new electrical power and natural gas lines on site
and connecting to the project site would be installed underground, minimizing potential ignition
and related fire risk above ground, at the project site according to the California Building Code,
Uniform Fire Code, and the Contra Costa County General Plan Implementation Measure 7-au. The
project plans will be reviewed and approved by the Fire District prior to issuance of a building
permit. Lastly, off-site improvements, including frontage sidewalks and driveway curbs would not
exacerbate fire risk. Therefore, the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure that
may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment
is less than significant.
d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or
landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? (Less than
Significant)
A SWCP with C.3 compliant storm water controls including pervious areas, bio-retention basins,
and storm drains that would collect storm water was prepared for the project. The C.3 measures
would decrease the amount of surface runoff discharged from the site. The County Public Works
Department has reviewed the applicant’s preliminary SWCP and determined that drainage facilities
in the area could accommodate the increased surface runoff without resulting in flooding.
Furthermore, the project site is located within a “Urban Unzoned” Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ)
in a Local Responsibility Area as indicated in the County’s mapping system in Accela. Therefore,
any impacts would be less than significant.

a) Does the project have the potential to
substantially degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a
fish or wildlife population to drop below self-
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, substantially
reduce the number or restrict the range of a
rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are
individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable”
means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in
connection with the effects of past projects,
the effects of other current projects, and the
effects of probable future projects.)
c) Does the project have environmental effects,
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or

The project to subdivide the property into 15 lots and construct a single-family residence on each
lot and associated improvements. The property is located in a developed area of the County and
contains primarily residential land uses, while industrial uses are also located in the surrounding
area. Impacts to the quality of the environment related to Aesthetic, Air Quality, Cultural Resources,
Geology/Soils, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources are identified, but would be reduced to a less
than significant level with the adoption of the mitigation measures that are specified in the
respective sections of this initial study. Thus, the measures will be conditions of approval of the
proposed project and the applicant will be responsible for implementation of the measures.

The proposed project to allow 15 residential lots and a residence on each lot would not create
substantial cumulative impacts. The project site is located within the Urban Limit Line in an area
that is surrounded primarily by single-family residential development. In addition, there will be no
significant increase in the demand for public services such as water, sewage disposal, or solid
waste disposal that would require new or significantly expanded infrastructure improvements that
could impact the environment. The project is consistent with the Single-Family Residential-High
Density (SH) General Plan land use designation. Furthermore, the proposed project would be
consistent with the existing single-family residential development surrounding the project site.
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly? (Less than Significant Impact)
This Initial Study has disclosed impacts that would be less than significant with the implementation
of Mitigation Measures. All identified Mitigation Measures will be included in the conditions of
approval for the proposed project, and the applicant will be responsible for implementation of the
measures. The project would also comply with all applicable General Plan policies, County Codes,
and other applicable local and state regulations. As a result, there would not be any environmental
effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.

PROJECT FINDINGS FOR COUNTY FILES #CDRZ21-03260, CDSD21-09588, CDDP21-
03028, MONTE DAVIS FOR DISCOVERY BUILDERS INC (APPLICANT) AND JOSE AND
MONICA LUIS (OWNERS)
A. Government Code Section 65863(b) (No Net Loss)
Section 65863(b)(1) No city, county, or city and county shall, by administrative, quasi-
judicial, legislative, or other action, reduce, or require or permit the reduction of, the
residential density for any parcel to, or allow development of any parcel at, a lower
residential density, as defined in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (g), unless the
city, county, or city and county makes written findings supported by substantial
evidence of both of the following:
(A) The reduction is consistent with the adopted general plan, including the housing
element.
Project Finding: The subject property has a General Plan land use designation of
Single-Family Residential-High Density. The project is consistent with the
proposed General Plan land use designation of Single-Family Residential- High
Density (SH), which allows 5.0 – 7.2 units per net acre. The proposed project
would subdivide the property into 15 residential lots on a net acre of 2.41 or a
density of 6.0 dwelling units per net acre, consistent with the density allowed by
the general plan. Thus, there is no reduction in the residential density allowed by
the SH General Plan land use designation.
(B) The remaining sites identified in the housing element are adequate to meet the
requirements of Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of
the regional housing need pursuant to Section 65584. The finding shall include a
quantification of the remaining unmet need for the jurisdiction’s share of the
regional housing need at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites
identified in the housing element to accommodate that need by income level.
Project Finding: The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) was prepared
by ABAG for the period of January 1, 2014 through October 31, 2022. As part of
this process, ABAG requires each jurisdiction to plan for a certain number of
housing units for this period. This requirement is satisfied by identifying
adequate sites that could accommodate housing that is affordable to very low,
low, moderate, and above moderate-income households. ABAG has determined
that the unincorporated County’s share of regional housing needs is a total of
1,367 new housing units, which includes the construction of 243 moderate-

income housing units. Based on the 2021 Annual Element Progress Report, the
County has constructed an aggregate of 2,408 units across all income levels with
78 moderate-income units remaining to be constructed for the County’s share of
the 5th Cycle of the Housing Element RHNA.
The project would allow 15 single-family residential lots on the subject property
which has been identified on the County’s sites inventory for providing 14-
moderate income units. Although the project does not provide moderate units,
there are other parcels listed in the County’s sites inventory where there remains
a potential for the construction of moderate-income units
(https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/33352/2014-Land-
Inventory---Vacant-and-Underutilized-Sites-Analysis?bidId=). There are several
properties identified in the housing inventory that are vacant and designated for
moderate-income units, including at least two other parcels (Assessor’s Parcel
Number: 403-030-005 and 032-112-007) with a capacity of 301 moderate units
that have not been developed. These sites Therefore, there is capacity of sites
identified in the housing element to accommodate moderate-income units.
Section 65863(b)(2) If a city, county, or city and county, by administrative, quasi-
judicial, legislative, or other action, allows development of any parcel with fewer units
by income category than identified in the jurisdiction’s housing element for that
parcel, the city, county, or city and county shall make a written finding supported by
substantial evidence as to whether or not remaining sites identified in the housing
element are adequate to meet the requirements of Section 65583.2 and to
accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to
Section 65584. The finding shall include a quantification of the remaining unmet
need for the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need at each income level
and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the housing element to
accommodate that need by income level.
Project Finding: The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) was prepared by
ABAG for the period of January 1, 2014 through October 31, 2022. As part of this
process, ABAG requires each jurisdiction to plan for a certain number of housing
units for this period. This requirement is satisfied by identifying adequate sites that

County’s share of regional housing needs is a total of 1,367 new housing units, which
includes the construction of 243 moderate-income housing units. Based on the 2021
Annual Element Progress Report, the County has constructed an aggregate of 2,408
units across all income levels with 78 moderate-income units remaining to be
constructed for the County’s share of the 5th Cycle of the Housing Element RHNA.
The project would allow 15 single-family residential lots on the subject property
which has been identified on the County’s sites inventory for providing 14-moderate
income units. Although the project does not provide moderate units, there are other
parcels listed in the County’s sites inventory where there remains a potential for the
construction of moderate-income units
(https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/33352/2014-Land-
Inventory---Vacant-and-Underutilized-Sites-Analysis?bidId=). There are several
properties identified in the housing inventory that are vacant and designated for
moderate-income units, including at least two other parcels (Assessor’s Parcel
Number: 403-030-005 and 032-112-007) with a capacity of 301 moderate units that
have not been developed. These sites Therefore, there is capacity of sites identified
in the housing element to accommodate moderate-income units.
B. General Plan Growth Management Element Findings
1. Traffic: Implementation Measure 4-c under the Growth Management Program
(GMP) of the County’s General Plan requires a traffic impact analysis be
conducted for any project that is estimated to generate 100 or more AM or PM
peak-hour trips. The project consists of a subdividing an approximately 2.88-acre
property in to 15 residential parcels. The project is expected to generate 11 AM
and 15 PM peak hour trips. Therefore, a traffic study was not prepared.
The project site is located north of Pullman Avenue, a County maintained road.
Pullman Avenue is approximately 32 feet paved within a 52-foot-right-of-way. No
additional dedication of right-of-way along or further widen the pavement along
Pullman Avenue will be required. However, installation of concrete curb ramps,
curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot-wide sidewalk (width measured from face of
curb), longitudinal and transverse drainage, and street lighting, as necessary,
along the project frontage will be required. Many of these improvements have
Loreto Bay Estates 15-Lot Subdivision
County Files: #CDRZ21-03260, CDSD21-09588, CDDP21-03028
BOS, February 7, 2023
Page 4 of 12
already been installed but may need to be modified to accommodate the
proposed onsite improvements.
The subdivision will gain access via two private roads off Pullman Avenue. Street
“B” is located north of the intersections of Fairview Avenue and Pullman Avenue
and Street “A” is located north of the intersection of Gibson Avenue and Pullman
Avenue. Both roads will have a paved width of 20 feet with right of way width
varying from 25 feet to 30 feet. Both streets end in a hammerhead turnaround
near the northern property line. Overall, the project would not cause
unacceptable traffic related impacts in the immediate vicinity or area.
2. Water: The GMP requires new development to demonstrate that adequate water
quantity can be provided. The project site currently receives water service from
the Golden State Water Company (GSWC). The project was forwarded to the
GSWC who did not provide any comments. The project should be submitted to
GSWC for their review and approval. Furthermore, there has been no indication
from GSWC that the project would exceed the capacity of their existing public
water infrastructure.
3. Sanitary Sewer: The GMP requires that new development demonstrate that
adequate sanitary sewer service is available. The project site is not currently
served by Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDSD) and would need to be annexed
into the district. The applicant has initiated the process to annex the project site
into the district for the 15 lots. Prior to the submittal of building permits, DDSD
will review the submittal for conformance with their development standards and
will require any potential upgrades at that time. By meeting the development
standards of DDSD, the proposed project is expected to be accommodated by
existing DDSD facilities without expansion of the wastewater treatment system.
4. Fire Protection: Fire protection and emergency medical response services for the
project vicinity are provided by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
Fire protection to the project site would be provided by Station No. 86, which is
located approximately 0.62 miles southwest from the site. The project is required
to comply with the applicable provisions of the California Fire Code, the California
Building Code, and applicable Contra Costa County Ordinances that pertain to
emergency access, fire suppression systems, and fire detection/warning systems.
Prior to the issuance of building permits, the construction drawings would be

County Files: #CDRZ21-03260, CDSD21-09588, CDDP21-03028
BOS, February 7, 2023
Page 5 of 12
reviewed and approved by the fire district. All homes will be equipped with an
automatic fire suppression sprinkler system. The project site’s close proximity to
an existing fire station combined with the requirement for compliance with
applicable building and fire codes ensures that the project will not result in an
undue fire risk at the site; therefore, there is no need for expanded fire protection
services.
5. Public Protection: The County General Plan Policy 7-57 indicates a Sheriff facility
standard of 155 square feet of Sheriff station space per 1,000 persons of
population. The project would increase the population of unincorporated Contra
Costa County by approximately 43 persons, which is less than the facility standard
and is a non-substantial increase. The addition of 15 single-family residences to
the project area would not significantly affect the provision of police services to
the area. Furthermore, the Condition of Approval (COA) #15 requires the
formation of a police services district to provide funding to maintain and
augment police services.
6. Parks and Recreation: As the project will add to the County’s population, COA
#12 and 13 requires the project proponent to pay applicable Park fees per unit.
The Park Impact fee collected will be used for acquisition of parkland and
development of parks and recreational facilities. The Park Dedication requirement
allows the developer of land for residential use to dedicate land, pay an in-lieu
fee, or a combination of both for neighborhood and community park or
recreational purposes. Additionally, the project includes a common open space
area to be used as a park by the residents of the 15 lots. The open space area is
approximately 3,544 square feet and is identified as Parcel C. Thus, the
combination of the common open space area and the per-unit in-lieu fees
provided by the applicant will ensure that the project does not adversely impact
the County’s ability to maintain the standard of having three acres of
neighborhood parks for every 1,000 members of the population.
7. Flood Control and Drainage: The project is not located within a Federal
Emergency Management Agency-designated Special Flood Hazard (100-year)
Zone, and thus flooding at the site is not a potential hazard.
The site generally slopes towards the north. A 30-inch storm drain is located
along the northern property line, which discharges into the Delta. The project site

Page 6 of 12
was originally zoned for industrial uses and storm drain was sized accordingly.
The project proposes a less dense use; therefore, the receiving system is
adequate to handle runoff from the development.
C. Rezoning Findings (County Code Section 26-2.1806)
1. Required Finding: The change proposed will substantially comply with the
general plan.
Project Finding: The project site is located within a Single-Family Residential-High
Density (SH) General Plan land use designation. Primary land uses in the SH land
use designation include detached single-family homes and accessory buildings
and structures. The project is a use that is consistent with the SH land use
designation.
The project site is located within the Heavy Industrial Zoning District (H-I),
Railroad Corridor Combining District (-X), which is not consistent with the SH
General Plan land use designation. The project includes a rezoning of the 2.88-
acre site to a Planned Unit District (P-1). Table 3-5 of the County’s General Plan
indicates that a P-1 zoning district is consistent with the SH land use designation.
The project is an infill project that is consistent with other General Plan policies
that promotes housing opportunities and encourages other modes of
transportation (e.g., transit, bicycling), while providing additional units to the
County’s housing inventory. Thus, the rezoning of an approximately 2.88-acre
project site will substantially comply with the County’s General Plan.
2. Required Finding: The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are
compatible within the district and to uses authorized in adjacent district.
Project Finding: The project site is surrounded by a number of single-family
residential developments directly south and west of the property. The project is a
use consistent with the SH General Plan land use designation. Overall, the project
is in harmony with the surrounding area and the uses established in the area.
3. Required Finding: Community need has been demonstrated for the use
proposed, but this does not require demonstration of future financial success.

County Files: #CDRZ21-03260, CDSD21-09588, CDDP21-03028
BOS, February 7, 2023
Page 7 of 12
Project Finding: The approximately 2.88-acre project site is a vacant parcel. The
project is an infill project that is located within an area that is developed with
primarily with residential uses. The project to subdivide the property into 15 lots
and construct the 15 residential units will improve the current vacant use of the
project site. Further, the 2005-2020 Contra Costa County General Plan contains
policies related to providing an adequate supply of housing and encouraging
infill development on under-utilized sites within urbanized areas where necessary
utilities already are installed. This project is consistent with the surrounding area
consisting of residential development near transit. The project site is located
approximately one mile north of the Pittsburg/Bay Point Bay Area Rapid Transit
(BART) Station, which is served by the Tri Delta Transit. A bus stop is
approximately 0.20 miles south of the subject property, approximately 138 west
from the corner of Fairview Avenue and Willow Pass Road. Furthermore, the
project is consistent with the SH General Plan land use designation.
D. Tentative Map Findings (County Code Section 94-2.806)
1. Required Finding: The advisory agency shall not approve a tentative map unless it
finds that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design
and improvement, is consistent with the applicable general plan required by law.
Project Finding: The project is located within the Bay Point area of the County,
where the surrounding uses include primarily of residential developments. The
tentative map would subdivide the approximately 2.88-acre project site into 15
residential lots to construct 15 residences. The project is consistent with the
proposed General Plan land use designation of Single-Family Residential- High
Density (SH), which allows 5.0 – 7.2 units per net acre. The proposed project
would subdivide the property into 15 residential lots on a net acre of 2.41 or a
density of 6.0 dwelling units per net acre, consistent with the density allowed by
the general plan.
Overall, the project is consistent with the applicable policies for the SH land use
designation, as well as transportation and housing policies of the General Plan.
2. Required Finding: The advisory agency shall not approve a tentative map unless it
shall find that the proposed subdivision fulfills construction requirements.

Page 8 of 12
Project Finding: The project will comply with the collect and convey regulations,
storm drainage facilities, and design standards for private roads. Additionally,
compliance with the California Building Code and all applicable County
Ordinances is required for grading of the property and construction of residential
buildings.
E. Findings of Approval of P-1 Zoning District and Final Development Plan (County
Code Section (84-66.1406)
1. Required Finding: The applicant intends to start construction within two and one-
half years from the effective date of the zoning change and plan approval.
Project Finding: The applicant has indicated that they intend to commence
construction within 2 ½ years off the effective date of the zoning change and
plan approval.
2. Required Finding: The proposed planned unit development is consistent with the
County General Plan.
Project Finding: The project site is located within a Single-Family Residential-High
Density (SH) General Plan land use designation. Primary land uses in the SH land
use designation include detached single-family homes and accessory buildings
and structures. The project to allow a 15-lot subdivision and to construct 15
residences is a use that is consistent with the SH land use designation.
The project requires a rezone of the project site to a Planned Unit District (P-1) to
allow a 15-lot subdivision. Table 3-5 of the County’s General Plan indicates that a
P-1 zoning district is consistent with the SH land use designation. The project is
an infill project that is consistent with other General Plan policies that promotes
housing opportunities and encourages other modes of transportation (e.g.,
transit, bicycling), while providing additional units to the County’s housing
inventory. Thus, the rezoning of an approximately 2.88-acre project site will
substantially comply with the County’s General Plan.
The County’s General Plan provides Housing goals and policies that promote and
encourage projects, such as this project within the Bay Point area. Goal 6 of the
County’s Housing Element identifies the need to provide adequate sites with the
Loreto Bay Estates 15-Lot Subdivision
County Files: #CDRZ21-03260, CDSD21-09588, CDDP21-03028
BOS, February 7, 2023
Page 9 of 12
appropriate land use and zoning designations to accommodate the County’s
share of regional housing. The project site is a vacant and surrounded primarily of
residential development. The project would provide 15 residential lots, with a
residence on each lot. The project includes the rezoning of the property to P-1,
which is consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of SH. Policy 3-8
of the General Plan encourages infilling of already developed areas, where new
development is preferred to vacant or under-used sites within urbanized areas,
which have necessary utilities installed.
The County’s General Plan also provides Transportation goals and policies that
supports the project. The project is a transit-oriented, infill development project
that provides the much-needed housing units approximately on mile from the
Pittsburg/Bay Point Area BART Station, which is served by the Tri Delta Transit. A
bus stop is located approximately 0.20 miles south of the project site,
approximately 138 feet west from the corner of Fairview Avenue and Willow Pass
Road. Overall, the project is consistent with the County’s General Plan, especially
the goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing housing within an
area that provides multimodal access.
3. Required Finding: In the case of residential development, it will constitute a
residential environment of sustained desirability and stability and will be in
harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and community.
Project Finding: The surrounding area consists primarily of residential uses. The
15-lots will consist of a residence on each lot. The residences will consist of four
to five bedrooms, ranging in size from 1,829 – 2,559 square feet of living area,
within a one or two-story building. The project site is located within an
established neighborhood that consisting primarily of single-family
developments. The project site is located within an area that is accessible to
different modes of transportation (e.g. bicycle, transit, etc.). Overall, the proposed
development will be in harmony with the surrounding area.
4. Required Finding: The development of a harmonious integrated plan justifies
exceptions from the normal application of this code.

County Files: #CDRZ21-03260, CDSD21-09588, CDDP21-03028
BOS, February 7, 2023
Page 10 of 12
Project Finding: The project site is approximately 2.88 acres in size that is
currently zoned Heavy Industrial Zoning District (H-I), Railroad Corridor Combining
District (-X). The SH General Plan land use designation permits detached single-
family homes and accessory buildings and structures, consistent with the project
to establish 15 single-family residences. Since the project site’s current zoning
designation is not consistent with the SH General Plan land use designation, the
project includes a rezoning of the project site to a P-1, which is consistent with
the SH General Plan land use designation. Overall, the project will remain for
residential use consistent with surrounding area.
F. Variance Findings (County Code Section 26-2.2006)
Variance request from the five-acre minimum lot size requirement of the Planned
Unit District (P-1) to allow the rezoning of the subject 2.88-acre property (Section 84-
66.602 [1])
1. Required Finding: That any variance authorized shall not constitute a grant of
special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the
vicinity and the respective land use district in which the subject property is
located.
Project Finding: The project requires a variance to allow the rezoning of an
approximately 2.88-acre project site from Heavy Industrial Zoning District (H-I),
Railroad Corridor Combining District (-X) to a Planned Unit District (P-1). Under
the P-1 Zoning District, a minimum of five acres is required. As found on Table 3-
5 of the County’s Land Use Element, the P-1 zoning is consistent with the SH
General Plan land use designation.
Additionally, Table 6-39 of the County’s Housing Element identifies the removal
of the five-acre minimum lot requirement for the P-1 zoning. This would allow
the development of small infill and under-utilized properties. Other properties in
the County that are less than the required five acres have been rezoned to P-1. In
2020, the Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning to P-1 of a 2.37-acre
parcel located on Del Hombre Lane and a 0.96-acre property located on Olympic
Blvd., both projects in the unincorporated area of Walnut Creek. Thus, approval of
Loreto Bay Estates 15-Lot Subdivision
County Files: #CDRZ21-03260, CDSD21-09588, CDDP21-03028
BOS, February 7, 2023
Page 11 of 12
the variance to rezone a property less than the five acres required would not be a
grant of special privilege.
2. Required Finding: That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property because of its size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the
strict application of the respective zoning regulations is found to deprive the
subject property of rights enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and within
the identical land use district.
Project Finding: The proposal to rezone the project site to P-1 on an
approximately 2.88-acre property would allow a 15-lot subdivision and the
construction of 15 residences on an under-utilized project site. The project is
compatible with the surrounding development in the area consisting of single-
family residential development. Properties less than five acres have been rezoned
to P-1 since 1978. More recently, the Board of Supervisors in 2020 approved the
rezoning to P-1 of a 2.37-acre parcel located on Del Hombre Lane and a 0.96-
acre property located on Olympic Blvd., both projects in the unincorporated area
of Walnut Creek. to P-1. The County’s Housing Element identifies the removal of
the minimum five-acre requirement to encourage development of infill
properties. Thus, implementing the current zoning standards would deprive the
subject property of rights enjoyed by other properties developed as single-family
development.
3. Required Finding: That any variance authorized shall substantially meet the
intent and purpose of the respective land use district in which the subject
property is located.
Project Finding: The proposal to rezone a property for residential use less than
five acres will meet the intent of the P-1 Zoning District and the goal of the
County’s Housing Element to encourage small infill properties. The P-1 Zoning
District provides an opportunity for a cohesive design with flexible regulations for
the purpose of providing housing. Furthermore, the project will add to the
County’s housing inventory.

G. Tree Permit Findings (County Code Section 816-6.8010)
Required Finding: The County Planning Commission is satisfied that the following
factors as provided by County Code Section 816-6.8010 for granting a tree
permit have been satisfied:
1. Reasonable development of the property will require the removal of five trees,
all consisting of Ailanthus Altissima trees, commonly known as Tree of Heaven
will be necessary to construct the project. All feasible efforts have been made
to retain these trees; however, these trees are a noxiously weedy species. The
branches are weak and prone to breakage, and the roots tend to resprout
vigorously in response to damage.
2. Development of this project cannot be reasonably accommodated on other
parts of the property due to the size of the project site. Approximately three
trees are located at the southwest corner of the property, where a residence
on Lot 1 will be located. The other two trees will be located approximately
within proposed Street “A “and/or within Parcel B that consists of bioretention
basin #2.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. OPEN the public hearing on the Loreto Bay Estates Project, RECEIVE testimony, and CLOSE the public hearing.
2. FIND that the mitigated negative declaration prepared for the Project adequately analyzes the Project’s environmental impacts, that there is no

Subject:Loreto Bay Estates Project in the Bay Point area of the County (District V)
BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant seeks approval of a rezoning of the subject property from Heavy Industrial Zoning District (H-I), Railroad Corridor
Combining District (-X) to a Planned Unit District (P-1), a tentative map to subdivide the approximately 2.88-acre project site into 15
residential lots and four common area parcels for bioretention basins and a park, and a preliminary and final development plan to allow the
construction of 15 residences and associated improvements.
The residential lots will range in size from approximately 3,821 – 6,114 square feet. The common area parcels for the bioretention basins
(Parcels A, B, D) range in size from approximately 6,611 – 10,263 square feet. The proposed park will be located on Parcel C and will be
approximately 3,590 square feet. The proposed residences will range in size from approximately 1,829 – 2,559 square feet of living area.
There will be approximately five code-protected trees removed, all Ailanthus Altissima trees. A request for a variance to allow the rezoning
of the 2.88-acre property to a P-1 (where 5 acres is the minimum) is included in the project. There will be approximately 2,000 cubic yards
of cut and fill that will be balanced on-site. The subject property is not located within the Delta Diablo service boundary or any other
sanitary district. Therefore, the project will require annexation into the Delta Diablo service area and approval from the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO).
SITE/AREA DESCRIPTION
Surrounding Land Uses: The subject property is located in the Bay Point area of the County. The surrounding area immediately to the
south and west primarily consists of single-family residential uses. However, further west and south of the subject property includes
multiple-family residential uses. The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) line borders the entire length of the northern property line and the
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway exist further to the north of the site, running east and west. The land further to the north
is designated as open space and is adjacent to the Sacramento/San Joaquin River. The land immediately to the east is currently vacant with
residential uses within the City of Pittsburg further to the east. Highway 4 is approximately 0.75 miles south of the property.
Site Description: The approximately 2.88-acre triangular shaped vacant site is located at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Pullman
Avenue in the Bay Point area of the County. Pullman Avenue is located to the south of the project site and Fairview Avenue is located to the
west of the project site. The project site is relatively flat and located within the Urban Limit Line. The site has approximately five
multi-stemmed Ailanthus Altissima trees, commonly known as Tree of Heaven.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff conducted an Initial Study (IS) assessment of potentially significant adverse environmental impacts that could result from the
proposed Loreto Bay Estates 15-lot subdivision project. Staff determined that although the proposed project could have some environmental
impacts, these impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level with mitigations incorporated. Thus, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) was prepared and published for the proposed project. The public review period for the MND started on July 29, 2022
and ended on August 18, 2022.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY
General Plan
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Single-Family Residential-High Density (SH), which allows 5.0 – 7.2 units per
net acre. The proposed project would subdivide the property into 15 residential lots on a net acre of 2.41 or a density of 6.0 dwelling units
per net acre, consistent with the density allowed by the SH general plan designation. Primary land uses permitted in the SH designation
include detached single-family homes and accessory buildings and structures. The project is located within the Bay Point area of the county,
where the surrounding uses are primarily of residential developments and some commercial uses. According to Table 3-5 of the County’s
Land Use Element of the General Plan, SH is consistent with the P-1 Zoning District.
The project site is located within the Urban Limit Line (ULL) and is designated for future urban uses. The project is an infill development,
since it is surrounded primarily by other residential development and the project site has the necessary utility connections. The project is
consistent with the Housing Goals and Policies of the Housing Element of the County's General Plan. The project site is a vacant property
that would be rezoned to a P-1 to develop the site to allow 15 residences on 15 lots. The applicant will pay the in-lieu fee to comply with the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
The project is consistent with the Transportation Goals and Polices of the Transportation Element of the County's General Plan. The project
encourages the use of transit, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and encourages use of alternative forms of transportation. The project site
is located approximately one mile north of the Pittsburg/Bay Point Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Station and is served by the Tri Delta
Transit. A bus line runs along Willow Pass Road with a bus stop located approximately 138 feet west from the corner of Fairview Avenue
and Willow Pass Road. This bus stop is approximately 0.20 miles south of the subject property. The project is also located in an area where
future residents can access food and clothing, education, employment, and recreational activities. Willow Pass Road is located
approximately 0.20 miles south of the subject property, where there are restaurants, drug stores, a park, and grocery stores. The applicant
will be required to install concrete curb ramps, curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot-wide sidewalk and street lighting, as necessary, along the
project frontage. Many of these improvements have already been installed but may need to be modified to accommodate the proposed
onsite improvements.
Zoning
The project site is located within the Heavy Industrial Zoning District (H-I) and the Railroad Corridor Combining District (-X), which is not
consistent with the SH General Plan land use designation. The project includes a rezoning of the 2.88-acre site to a Planned Unit District
(P-1), which includes a preliminary and final development plan to allow construction of the 15 residences and associated improvements.
The P-1 zoning district is consistent with SH and the P-1 zoning district allows flexibility with respect to use, building types, lot size, and
open space, while ensuring the project complies with the County’s General Plan and requirements of the County’s Ordinance. The project is
a single-family residential infill development, which will be in harmony with the single-family residential developments that primarily abut
and surround the proposed project. An industrial use is located adjacent to the northwestern corner of the subject property. However, access
roads, a bioretention basin and a small open space area with turf and a bench are proposed to be located in the northwestern corner between
the nearest proposed homes and the industrial use. Other bioretention basins are proposed along the northwestern boundary of the project
buffering the proposed homes from the adjacent railroad tracks (the two immediately adjacent railroad lines are a private spur line serving
Criterion Catalyst and the defunct, no longer in use tracks that used to serve the Sacramento Northern Railway; the Union Pacific and BNSF
lines are located more than 400 feet away from the closest point on the property). Overall, the project is consistent with the established
neighborhood and will provide additional housing stock to the area.
Since the proposed project involves a rezone to a P-1 District, the design standards are evaluated for the proposed project. There are four
floor plans for the project. Plans 1-3 will have a 10-foot front yard setback from the porch, 15 feet from the residence, and 18 feet from the
garage. Plan 4 will have a 5-foot front yard setback from the porch, 9 feet 9 inches from the residence, and 7 feet 11 inches from the garage.
Plans 1-3 will have a minimum side yard of 5 feet with a minimum aggregate of 15 feet and will have a minimum rear yard of 20 feet. Plan
4 will have a minimum side yard of 3 feet and the aggregate side yard will be approximately 8 feet. Plan 4 is designated for lot 15 and due
to the triangular shape of the lot, there will be no rear yard setback. The residences will be one to two-story residences, range in size from
1,829 to 2,559 square feet, consist of 4 to 5 bedrooms and a two-car garage.
The proposed residential development is a traditional style consisting of stucco siding, and board and batten siding. The building includes
gable roofing, consisting of composite roofing materials. Architectural features also include wood shutters and stucco trim. Properties in the
area consist of one and two-story residences, where some residences are similar in architectural design as the proposed residences.
COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
The project was scheduled before the County Planning Commission (CPC) on December 14, 2022. A comment letter was received in
support of the project and written comments were also received that expressed concerns of the negative effects of the rezoning on the
adjacent property that contains an industrial use. The CPC voted to approve (7-0) the tentative map (County File #CDSD21-09588), and
recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve the remaining components of the project.
CONCLUSION
The proposed project is consistent with applicable goals and policies of the General Plan, and also with the intent of the SH General Plan
designation and the P-1 Zoning district. The project is an underutilized site, and the project will be consistent with the uses nearby. The
design and use of the project site for single-family residences is consistent with the other uses in the immediate area. Moreover, the project
provides additional housing. All environmental impacts would be mitigated to a less-than-significant levels. Staff recommends that the
Board of Supervisors approve the proposed rezoning and preliminary and final development plan, based on the attached findings and
conditions of approval.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
In the event that the proposed project is not approved, the applicant will not obtain approval of the required Rezoning, and Development
Plan entitlements needed to allow development of the proposed 15-lot subdivision project in the Bay Point area.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The project involves a 15-lot subdivision to construct 15 single-family residences. Pursuant to Condition of Approval #14, the applicant
shall pay the required fee established by the Board of Supervisors per unit for childcare facility needs in the area. Therefore, the
recommendation supports one or more of the following children's outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2)
Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient; (4) Families that
are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.

Re: Teleconferencing Options Under the Brown Act for Members of County
Boards, Commissions, and Committees
SUMMARY
Members of the Board of Supervisors may continue attending meetings remotely until the
current statewide state of emergency ends on February 28, 2023. Once the state of emergency
ends, Board members may participate in meetings remotely under new Brown Act
teleconferencing rules that allow Board members to attend remotely for limited reasons and a
limited number of times per year. Specifically, these new rules allow individual members of the
Board to participate in Board meetings by teleconference for "just cause" reasons or due to
"emergency circumstances" when certain legal requirements are met. Board members may also
participate in meetings remotely under the traditional Brown Act teleconference option. This
option allows individual Board members to participate in meetings by teleconference if the
location from where they are participating is listed on the agenda and other legal requirements
are met.
In addition to applying to the Board of Supervisors, the new teleconferencing rules and
the traditional teleconferencing option apply to all County boards, commissions, and committees
that are subject to the Brown Act. These County boards, commissions, and committees are
considered "legislative bodies" under the Brown Act and include, in addition to the Board of
Supervisors: (1) committees created by statute; (2) committees created by formal action of the
Board of Supervisors, whether composed of lay persons or a combination of lay persons and
Board members; (3) standing committees, composed solely of members of the Board, that have a
continuing subject matter jurisdiction (for example, the Board's Internal Operations committee);
and (4) standing committees created by a Board-appointed committee and composed solely of
members of that body (for example, a subcommittee of the Mental Health Commission). Once
the state of emergency ends on February 28, all members of County legislative bodies will be
required to meet in person unless they attend remotely under the new or traditional Brown Act
teleconferencing rules.
The Board of Supervisors previously directed that meetings of County legislative bodies
provide for remote attendance by the public. These "hybrid" meetings, which allow in-person
and remote attendance, may continue unless the Board of Supervisors directs otherwise, but as
discussed below, some form of remote public participation must be in place for members of
legislative bodies to use the new "just cause" or "emergency circumstances" options.

TELECONFERENCING OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO ALL
COUNTY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES
1. Teleconferencing Is Allowed Under the Brown Act for "Just Cause" Reasons or
Under "Emergency Circumstances"
Assembly Bill 2449 amended the Brown Act (Government Code sections 54950-54963)
to provide an alternative to the traditional Brown Act teleconferencing rules. Specifically, AB
2449 amended Government Code section 54953 to permit individual members of a County
legislative body to participate in meetings by teleconference for "just cause" or due to
"emergency circumstances" when certain legal requirements are met. (Gov. Code, § 53953(£).)
Teleconference Participation for Just Cause. If a member of a County legislative body
wishes to attend a meeting remotely for "just cause," the member must notify the County
legislative body at the earliest opportunity, up to and including the start of a regular meeting, of
the need to participate remotely. The member must provide a general description of one of the
following "just cause" circumstances:
• There is a childcare or caregiving need for a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild,
sibling, spouse, or domestic partner.
• A contagious illness that prevents the member from attending in person.
• A need related to a physical or mental disability that is not otherwise
accommodated for.
• Travel while on official business of the County legislative body or another state or
local agency.
Teleconference Participation for Emergency Circumstances. If a member of a
County legislative body wishes to attend a meeting remotely due to "emergency circumstances,"
the member must provide a general description of the need to appear remotely, which need not
exceed 20 words or include any personal medical information. The member must make the
request to participate remotely as soon as possible. "Emergency circumstances" means a
physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in person.
Legislative Body Action Requirements. The County legislative body need not take
action to allow a member to attendremotely for "just cause." To allow a member to attend
remotely for "emergency circumstances," the County legislative body must take action on the
request at the meeting. If there is insufficient time to include the item on a posted agenda, the
County legislative body may take action on the request at the beginning of the meeting.
Approval for the member to participate remotely based onthe "emergency circumstances"
exception must be by majority vote. The member requesting the remote appearance may not
vote on the request or be counted as part of the quorum until the legislative body approved the
"emergency circumstances" exception.
Participation Requirements. A member appearing by teleconference under one of the
AB 2449 options must participate in the meeting through both audio and visual technology.
Disclosure Requirements. A member appearing by teleconference under an AB 2449
option must publicly disclose at the meeting whether any other individuals 18 years or older are
in the room at the remote location withthe member and must publicly disclose the general nature
Board of Supervisors
February 1, 2023
Page 3 of 4
of the member's relationship with these individuals. This disclosure must occur before any
action is taken.
Quorum Required. If a teleconference meeting is conducted with a member
participating under an AB 2449 option, at least a quorum of the County legislative body must
participate in person, and the quorum must meet in a single, physical location identified on the
agenda that is open to the public and situated within the County.
Limitations on Number of Remote Appearances. A member may not use a "just
cause" reason to appear remotely for more than two meetings per calendar year. In total, a
member may not participate remotely under an AB 2449 option for more than three consecutive
months or 20 percent of the regular meetings of the County legislative body within the calendar
year, or for more than two meetings if the body regularly meets less than 10 times per year.
Roll Call. All votes taken during a teleconference meeting conducted under this option
must be by roll call.
Technological and Access Requirements. If a member participates remotely under an
AB 2449 option, the County legislative body must also provide either a two-way audiovisual
platform, or a two-way telephonic service and a live webcasting of the meeting, so that the public
may remotely hear and visually observe the meeting, and remotely address the legislative body.
The body must provide notice and post agendas as otherwise required under the Brown
Act and must indicate on the notice how the public may access the meeting and offer comment.
The agenda must include an opportunity for all persons to attend and address the legislative body
via a call-in option, via an internet-based service option, and at the in-person location of the
meeting.
If the broadcasting of the meeting to the public by phone or internet service is disrupted,
or a disruption within the local agency's control prevents members of the public from
commenting using the phone or internet service, the legislative body may not take any action at
the meeting until public access to the meeting via the phone option or the internet service option
is restored. Actions taken on agenda items during a disruption that prevents the legislative body
from broadcasting the meeting may be subject to legal challenge.
When a member appears remotely for a just cause or emergency circumstances reason,
the Brown Act does not require that the agency post an agenda at the remote location, include the
address of the remote location, or provide for public access to the remote location.
The body may not require public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting
and must allow the public to address the body and comment in real time.
An individual may be required to register for public comment before being allowed to
provide comment, where the body uses a third-party platform (like Zoom) for the meeting.
The Brown Act rules allowing "just cause" or "emergency circumstances" participation
remain in effect through 2025. Beginning January 1, 2026, only the traditional Brown Act
teleconference rules will be available (unless further legislation is adopted in the meantime).

2. Teleconferencing Under Traditional Brown Act Rules
Members of County legislative bodies also may continue to participate remotely under
the traditional Brown Act teleconferencing rules in Government Code section 54953(b). Under
these rules:
TLG:
• At least a quorum of the legislative body must participate from locations in the
County.
• Each telephone conference location and the meeting location must be shown on the
agenda for the meeting. In addition, the agenda must provide an opportunity for
members of the public to give public comment from each teleconference location.
• In addition to the usual agenda-posting agenda locations and the County website,
an agenda must be posted at each teleconference location at least 96 hours in
advance of the meeting under the County's Better Government Ordinance, or at
least 24 in advance for a special meeting.
• Each teleconference location must be open and accessible to members of the
public.
• All votes taken during a teleconference meeting must be by roll call.

Recommendations for safely holding public meetings
Each local government agency is authorized to determine whether to hold public meetings in person,
on-line (teleconferencing only), or via a combination of methods. The following are recommendations
from the Contra Costa County Health Officer to minimize the risk of COVID 19 transmission during a
public meeting.
1. Online meetings (i.e. teleconferencing meetings) are encouraged, where practical, as these
meetings present the lowest risk of transmission of SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID 19. This is
particularly important when community prevalence rates are high. Our current trends as of February 1,
2023 in Covid-19 case rate, test positivity, Covid-19 hospitalizations, and Covid-19 wastewater
surveillance are decreasing, but there continues to be COVID-19 in the community and changes in case
rate, test positivity, COVID-19 hospitalization and wastewater surveillance may change or increase
rapidly. In addition to this, the predominant variant of Covid-19 being identified continues to be the
Omicron variant and it’s subvariants the impact of which on the spread of Covid-19 has shown to
dramatically increase COVID-19 transmission.
2. If a local agency determines to hold in-person meetings, offering the public the opportunity to
attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option is recommended, when possible, to give
those at higher risk of and/or higher concern about COVID-19 an alternative to participating in person.
3. A written safety protocol should be developed and followed. It is recommended that the
protocol require social distancing, where feasible – i.e. six feet of separation between attendees; and
consider requiring or strongly encouraging face masking of all attendees and encouraging attendees to
be up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccine.
4. Seating arrangements should allow for staff and members of the public to easily maintain at
least six-foot distance from one another at all practicable times.
5. Consider holding public meetings outdoors. Increasing scientific consensus is that outdoor
airflow reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission compared to indoor spaces. Hosting events outdoors
also may make it easier to space staff and members of the public at least 6 feet apart. If unable to host
outdoors, consider ways to increase ventilation and flow of the indoor space to reduce the risk of
COVID-19 while indoors.
6. Current evidence is unclear as to the added benefit of temperature checks in addition to
symptom checks. We encourage focus on symptom checks as they may screen out individuals with other
Covid-19 symptoms besides fever and help reinforce the message to not go out in public if you are not
feeling well.
7. Consider a voluntary attendance sheet with names and contact information to assist in contact
tracing of any cases linked to a public meeting.
Revised 2-1-2023
Sefanit Mekuria, MD, MPH
Deputy Health Officer, Contra Costa County
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. FIND that the Board of Supervisors has reconsidered the circumstances of the Statewide state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor on
March 4, 2020, and that the County Health Officer’s recommendations for safely holding public meetings, which recommend virtual meetings
and other measures to promote social distancing, are still in effect.
2. AUTHORIZE the Board of Supervisors, in its capacity as the governing board of the County, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and the
Contra Costa County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority, and its subcommittees, to continue teleconference meetings under
Government Code section 54953(e) through February 28, 2023.
3. AUTHORIZE all County advisory boards, committees, and commissions to continue teleconference meetings under Government Code
section 54953(e) through February 28, 2023.
4. REQUIRE any County advisory boards, commissions, and committees that hold in-person meetings before March 1, 2023, to conduct these
meetings in a “hybrid” format that allows members of the Countywide body, staff, and members of the public to access the meetings both

remotely and in person.
5. RECEIVE an update on teleconference meeting procedures that begin March 1, 2023.
6. PROVIDE direction to staff on conducting meetings of County boards, commissions, and committees in accordance with all applicable
provisions of the Brown Act, including holding hybrid meetings that allow the public to attend meetings remotely and in person.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is an administrative action with no direct fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On October 5, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2021/327, which authorized the Board, in all its capacities, and certain
subcommittees and advisory bodies, to conduct teleconferencing meetings under Government Code section 54953(e). This section of the
Brown Act, which was added by Assembly Bill 361, allows a local agency to use special teleconferencing rules during a State declared state
of emergency. When a legislative body uses the emergency teleconferencing provisions under Government code section 54953(e), the
following rules apply:
The agency must provide notice of the meeting and post an agenda as required by the Brown Act and Better
Government Ordinance, but the agenda does not need to list each teleconference location or be physically
posted at each teleconference location.
The agenda must state how members of the public can access the meeting and provide public comment.
The agenda must include an option for all persons to attend via a call-in or internet-based service option.
The body must conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the constitutional and statutory rights of the
public.
If there is a disruption in the public broadcast of the meeting, or of the public's ability to comment virtually
for reasons within the body's control, the legislative body must stop the meeting and take no further action
on agenda items until public access and/or ability to comment is restored.
Local agencies may not require public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and must allow
virtual comments to be submitted in real time.
The body must allow a reasonable amount of time per agenda item to permit members of the public to
comment, including time to register or otherwise be recognized for the purposes of comment.
If the body provides a timed period for all public comment on an item, it may not close that period before
the time has elapsed.
Under Government Code section 54953(e), if the local agency wishes to continue using these special teleconferencing rules after adopting
an initial resolution, the legislative body must reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency every 30 days and make certain
findings. The agency must find that the Statewide state of emergency continues to exist and that state or local officials continue to impose
or recommend measures to promote social distancing.
The Board last considered these matters on January 10, 2023, made the required findings and authorized continued use of special
teleconferencing rules. The Board can again find that the Statewide state of emergency continues to exist and that the County Health
Officer's recommendations for safely holding public meetings, which recommend virtual meetings and other measures to promote social
distancing, are still in effect.
The Statewide state of emergency ends on February 28, 2023. Once the state of emergency ends, Board members may participate in
meetings remotely under new Brown Act teleconferencing rules that allow Board members to attend remotely for limited reasons and a
limited number of times per year. Board members may also participate in meetings remotely under the traditional Brown Act
teleconference option. In addition to applying to the Board of Supervisors, the new teleconferencing rules and the traditional
teleconferencing option apply to all County boards, commissions, and committees that are subject to the Brown Act. A memo describing the
new teleconferencing rules and the traditional teleconferencing option is attached to this Board order.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Board, in all its capacities, and its subcommittees and advisory bodies, would not be authorized to conduct teleconferencing meetings
under Government Code section 54953(e) through February 28, 2023.

BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department, Transportation Engineering staff was contacted by a resident requesting a residential disabled parking space.
Traffic Engineering staff responded by conducting an assessment, including a field visit to 1126 Wanda Street in Crockett. The onsite
assessment confirmed that the property in question did not have a driveway. Evidence of disability by the resident was also provided. Therefore,
since the minimum criteria was met to designate a disabled persons parking space in front of the requestor’s residence, it is recommended the
action to restrict parking for only disabled users be granted.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Parking will remain unrestricted at this location.

Subject:APPROVE the Kevin Drive Bike Lanes Project and take related actions under CEQA
FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated Project cost: $384,000. (31% Transportation Development Act Funds, 69% Local Road Funds)
BACKGROUND:
This project aims to install a combination of buffered bike lanes and sharrows along the entire length of Kevin Drive within the residential
community centered around Lynbrook Park in Bay Point. This project proposes to restripe Kevin Drive from Port Chicago Highway to
Willow Pass Road, approximately 3,600 linear feet, to incorporate buffered bike lanes through the residential neighborhood. Class III
sharrows will be installed for approximately 600 linear feet affronting the park in the eastbound direction between Shellie Court and
Kenneth Court.
This project was included in the CEQA review for the 2022 Countywide Surface Treatment Project, which includes maintaining and
rehabilitating various roads, including Kevin Drive in Bay Point, with pavement preparation and re-application of pavement striping and
marking with some modifications to accommodate bicycle facilities. The CEQA was posted at the County Clerk office on March 7, 2022.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
CEQA clearance is a requirement for TDA grant eligibility. If TDA funding is not obtained, the Project will not be constructed.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL
AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Permit For Use Of District Right Of Way
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. Definitions.
a. "District" shall mean the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District, the grantor of this permit.
b. "District's right of way" shall mean those areas involved herein on which District has
land rights, whether those rights be held in fee, easement, license, permit from others,
or any other form.
c. "Permitted use", "planned installation", "permittee's facilities", "work covered herein" or
other such phrases shall mean the specific work or purpose for which this permit is
granted.
2. Scope of Permit. This permit is to be strictly construed and no work other than that specifically
mentioned is authorized hereby. Incorporation herein of Permittee's plans does not constitute
approval of items shown on said plans which lie outside the limits of District's right of way, nor
of temporary alterations of District's flood control facilities (e.g. diversion dams, haul roads,
cutting of banks or levees, sump holes) not shown on said plans which the Permittee or its
contractor's may find necessary in order to construct or maintain the planned facilities. For any
such alteration, Permittee or its contractor shall obtain District approval either by amendment to
this permit or by separate permit.
3 No Precedent Established. It is understood and agreed by Permittee that approval of a
particular action under a permit shall not establish a precedent for future similar requests by
Permittee.
4. Granting of Rights to Others. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent District
from granting rights to others within District's right of way concerned herein or using said right
of way for any and all purposes, provided, however, that District shall not unreasonably prevent
or obstruct Permittee's rights hereunder.
5. Permission of Underlying Owners and Holders of Prior Rights. Where District's title to the right
of way concerned herein is anything less than fee, or where others are holders of prior rights
within right of way held in fee by District which might be affected by Permittee's proposed use,
the permission granted herein is valid only to the extent that District is legally able to grant
such permission. Permittee shall also obtain permission for the proposed use of said right of
way from said underlying owners or holders of prior rights. This permit shall not be effective
until such permission is obtained. When specifically stated elsewhere herein, Permittee shall
submit evidence of such permission to District. Failure of District to notify Permittee of the
existence of such underlying owners and holders of prior rights shall not relieve Permittee of the
responsibility of obtaining said separate permission.
7
General Provisions (Continued)
6. Non-Assignment. Permittee shall not assign, transfer or sublet this permit or any privileges
herein granted except with the written consent of District.
7. Pending Easement. If so indicated elsewhere herein, negotiations are underway for the
granting of an easement by District to Permittee for that portion of the work or facilities
permitted herein which lie within lands owned in fee by District. District reserves the right to
incorporate any or all of the conditions of this permit in said easement. Any conditions of this
permit not so incorporated shall remain in full force and effect unless specifically revised or
negated in the easement document or by written amendment to this permit. This permit shall
not be construed as a release or waiver in any way of the right to compensation for such
easement.
8. Future Relocation. If Permittee's facilities should at some time in the future interfere with
District's maintenance, repair, reconstruction, alteration or expansion of its flood control
facilities, or with installation of new facilities by the District, Permittee's facilities shall be
removed, relocated, or modified to the satisfaction of District at the sole cost and expense of
Permittee.
9. Revocability and Modification. This permit is revocable on five days notice, and is subject to
modification by the District at any time. The listing of a specific expiration date elsewhere in
this permit does not waive the right of the District to revoke this permit prior to that date as
hereinabove provided. This permit may be revoked or suspended without prior notice if
justifiable complaints of "nuisance" (e.g. dust, noise or invasion of privacy) are received from
occupants or owners of nearby property.
10. Hold Harmless. Permittee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the District of and from
any and all claims including inverse condemnation, demands, damages, losses, actions, causes
of action or judgments which District may pay or be required to pay by reason of any damages,
injury or death to any person or property suffered by any person, firm or corporation as a result
of the exercise by Permittee of the rights herein granted.
11. Insurance. If so stated elsewhere herein, this permit shall not be effective for any purpose
unless and until Permittee files with District a certificate from his insurer stating that the Contra
Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and Contra Costa County has been
named, for the purpose and duration of this permit, as an additional insured in his commercial
general and automobile liability insurance policies to the minimum limits indicated.
12. Bond. If so stated elsewhere herein, this permit shall not be effective for any purpose unless
and until Permittee files with District a bond in the form and amount indicated.
13. Expense of Inspection. Current fee schedule.
14. Notice Prior to Starting Work. Permittee shall notify District's Maintenance Division at least
three working days in advance of starting the work covered herein or any new phase thereof.
8
General Provisions (Continued)
15. Non-Interference. Any work performed hereunder by Permittee or its authorized agents shall
be done in such a manner as will at all times enable the District, its authorized agents or
contractors, to use District's right of way.
16. Restoration of District's Facilities. Any District facilities removed or damaged during installation
or maintenance of Permittee's facilities shall be replaced or repaired equivalent to, or better
than their pre-existing condition at the sole cost and expense of the Permittee. If, upon being
given reasonable notice by the District, the Permittee does not promptly make such restoration,
the District reserves the right to perform the needed work and to bill the Permittee for the
actual cost thereof.
17. As-Built Plans. Upon completion of underground or surface work of consequence, Permittee
shall furnish to the District plans showing location and details unless pre-installation plans
attached hereto sufficiently and accurately show such information.
18. Marking of Underground Facilities. Above-ground markers shall be placed by Permittee at
locations satisfactory to District to indicate the line and depth of underground facilities installed
under this permit.
19. District Non-Responsibility. Unless otherwise provided herein, District assumes no responsibility
for the design, construction, maintenance or repair of Permittee's facilities and will not be
responsible in any way for any damage to Permittee's facilities resulting from District's
construction, reconstruction, alteration, operation and maintenance of District's facilities.
20. Maintenance. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Permittee agrees to exercise reasonable
care to maintain properly any item installed under this permit and to exercise reasonable care in
inspecting and immediately repairing and making good any injury to any portion of District's
facilities which occurs as a result of the maintenance of such items in District's right of way or
as a result of the work done under this permit, including any and all injury to District's facilities
which would not have occurred had such work not been done or such item not been placed
therein. Except in the case of emergency, Permittee shall consult District at least seven days in
advance of commencement of any non-routine maintenance operations.
21. No Recourse Against District. The Permittee shall have no recourse whatsoever against the
District for any loss, cost, expense, or damage arising out of any provisions or requirement of
this permit because of its enforcement or for the termination or revocation of this permit as
provided herein. Nor shall this permit be given any value before any court or public authority in
any proceeding of any character.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
DENY the claims filed by T-Mobile West LLC, CenturyLink Communications LLC, AT&T Corp., AT&T Mobility, Sprint Communications
Company LP, and Sprint Spectrum LP in the total amount of $1,261,117.75, plus interest, in unitary property taxes paid for tax year 2019/20.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
T-Mobile West LLC, CenturyLink Communications LLC, AT&T Corp., AT&T Mobility, Sprint Communications Company LP, and Sprint
Spectrum LP (“Claimants”) have filed claims for refund of property taxes against the County and a number of other counties, essentially
alleging that the statutory formula used to calculate their property tax rate violates the California Constitution.
In December 2022, T-Mobile West LLC submitted a claim to the County in the amount of $244,654.53. In January 2023, CenturyLink
Communications LLC submitted a claim in the amount of $33,656.00; AT&T Corp submitted a claim in the amount of $45,544.00; AT&T
Mobility LLC submitted a claim in the amount of $737,569.00; Sprint Communications LP submitted a claim in the amount of $10,751.46; and
Sprint Spectrum LP submitted a claim in the amount of $188,942.76. [The claims are provided in Attachments A-F.] The claims, in the
collective amount of $1,261,117.75, are for property taxes paid for tax year 2019/2020. Claimants request interest on the requested refund
amounts.
The County has received refund claims for prior years based on the same allegation, which the County has denied. Other counties that have
received similar refund claims appear to have uniformly denied the claims. Santa Clara County recently prevailed before the Court of Appeal on
the basis that the statutory tax rate imposed on property owned by these entities do not violate the California Constitution.

County
Subject:Deny claims filed for unitary property taxes paid for tax year 2019/20
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
ANALYSIS:
Under the California Constitution, certain property owned or used by utilities and telecommunication companies, among others, is annually
assessed by the State Board of Equalization ("BOE"). (Cal. Const., article XIII, § 19.) The amount of such "unitary property" assessments
attributed to the County by the BOE are then taxed by the County in accordance with a statutory formula. (See Rev. & Tax. Code, § 100.)
The Auditor-Controller uses the amount of unitary property assessments annually provided by the BOE to calculate the amount of taxes to
be levied on these properties in accordance with a formula mandated by state law (Rev. & Tax. Code, § 100). Based on this formula, the
unitary tax rate for 2019/20 was 1.6865%. The Auditor-Controller has confirmed that the rate was correctly calculated pursuant to the State
law, and the Office of the State Controller has deemed it correct.
Claimants argue that they are entitled to a partial refund of taxes on the grounds that they were illegally levied because the formula used to
calculate the rate is unconstitutional. However, the County is given no discretion on its calculation of the unitary tax rate; it is a mandated
formula set by the State. A recent decision from the California Court of Appeals has affirmed the constitutionality of the rate. (County of
Santa Clara v. Sup. Ct. (Jan. 6, 2023, No. H049161) ___Cal.App.5th___.) For these reasons, the claims should be denied.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to take the recommended action would result in interest continuing to accrue on a potential court-ordered refund of property taxes.

DENY the claim for refund of property taxes filed by Chung Jin Park for fiscal years 2017/18 through 2022/23.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On January 3, 2023, Claimant Chung Jin Park filed a claim with the Clerk of the Board seeking a refund of property taxes paid from 2018 to the
present in the amount of $12,217.02. The claim appears to relate to a property that Claimant purchased in February 2017 in Lafayette,
Assessor’s Parcel No. 248-120-010-9 (the “Property”).
Claimant maintains that his property has been overvalued by the Assessor’s Office because the Property cannot be built on or otherwise put to
use due to the steep terrain and a scenic easement on the property. He further states that he has annual costs related “to mow[ing] dry weeds to
prevent fires.”
To receive a property tax refund based on a challenge to the assessed value of a property, a taxpayer must first seek to have the property value
equalized before the Assessment Appeals Board. If the Assessment Appeals Board lowers the assessed value of a property, the taxpayer may
then seek a refund of property taxes paid. (See

from the Assessment Appeals Board. Additionally, to the extent that Claimant seeks a property tax refund of payments that he made before
January 3, 2019, the claim is untimely. (Rev. & Tax. Code, § 5097(a).) For these reasons, there is no basis to grant Claimant’s claim for a tax
refund.
The claim has also been processed as a claim under the Government Claims Act. The claim was denied under the Government Claims Act
on January 3, 2023.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to take the recommended action would result in the interest continuing to accrue on a potential court-ordered refund of property
taxes.

WHEREAS, all interested stakeholders can participate in the February 16th Mental Health Awareness Black

recognizing Lunar New Year Celebrations in Contra Costa County
WHEREAS, California Assembly Bill 2596, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on September 29, 2022, declared Lunar New
Year an official holiday in California. From the months of January to March, an estimated 2 billion people around the world
welcome the new year through unique cultural celebrations in alignment with the lunar calendar. In this nation, millions of
members of the Asian American diaspora originating from (but not limited to) the Philippines, Vietnam, China, Tibet, Mongolia
and Korea, continue to celebrate these customs here in this nation; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities total close to 19
percent of the entire population – this winter, many households and communities across Contra Costa will engage in celebrations
and traditions passed down through thousands of years of history with modern additions; and
WHEREAS, across the world there are similar and shared Lunar New Year traditions and practices between groups influenced by
the dominant culture of China. For example, Chinese Lunar New Year is known as Spring Festival or Chunjié, the Korean New
Year is Seollal, Vietnamese New Year is T?t, Mongolian New Year is Tsagaan Sar, etc. Common practices include an animal
corresponding with the calendar year, food, drinks, altars and offerings for ancestor worship, gifts of “lucky money” in red
envelopes, visits to temples and pagodas, firecrackers, fireworks displays, dances, songs, etc.; and
WHEREAS, the year 2023 is the year of the Rabbit for those following the traditional Chinese calendar and is the year of the
Cat for those observing Vietnamese New Year (T?t) and the traditional Vietnamese calendar; and
WHEREAS, it is established that the AANHPI community and Lunar New Year observers are multi-ethnic and multi-racial, and
Lunar New Year is celebrated by friends and families of all identities; and
WHEREAS, the AANHPI community is not a monolith, and we celebrate its diversity while simultaneously honoring the unique
differences; and
WHEREAS, by observing Lunar New Year, we honor and stand with pride alongside our Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and
Pacific Islander community , a community for everyone to celebrate without shame or fear of exclusion and violence based on
food, features, language and customs; and
WHEREAS, these traditions are relevant and important to the well-being of AANHPI communities as many preserve these
traditions in order to preserve the home they left in exchange for this United States of America; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County is committed to partnerships with community leaders organizing and creating solidarity
among AANHPI groups and other BIPOC communities; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County condemns any racialized or hate driven violence targeting ethnic groups such as our AANHPI
community. Since the COVID pandemic began, incidences of open anti-Asian hate have increased drastically across our nation,
along with acts of violence, shootings and murders. Despite these acts of violence, the AANHPI community has proven strong
and determined; and
WHEREAS, the 2023 Contra Costa Lunar New Year celebration is a celebration of life, inviting renewal, prosperity, and release
from difficult pasts in exchange for a future of love, acceptance, happiness, and joy; and
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, do hereby proclaim this day February 7th, 2023, as “Lunar New Year
Celebration of the year 2023” and are dedicated to creating an inclusive Contra Costa where all AANHPI can authentically thrive
and prosper through substantive actions and equitable policies, procedures, and practices protecting the wellbeing of AANHPI
community members.

ATS Plan was completed in late 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved the Plan at their March 9, 2021 meeting and CCTA gave final
approval shortly thereafter.
The ATS Plan included recommendations and implementation steps, one of which was to form a Task Force that would oversee
implementation. The Task Force has a similar make-up to its predecessor, the Policy Advisory Committee which oversaw the development of
the ATS Plan. The recommendations will fill the two County seats on the Task Force, one for the Board of Supervisors and the other for the

be added to Children and Family Services and an Eligibility Worker II position canceled.
Social Casework Assistants (SCA) perform services such as visitation supervision, parent training, home visits, transportation, relative
notification, family finding, placement support; all of which are mandated services for Child Welfare to provide in order to meet the
"reasonable efforts" findings in court hearings. These services are necessary to ensure the agency meets our legal obligation to assist
families in meeting the needs of their children to return home or to remain home safely.
The Continuum of Care Reform (CCR) (AB 403) passed by the State Legislature is a major initiative with a significant workload impact. In
order to comply with the mandates of this legislation, we will need to build an infrastructure for a robust recruitment, family finding and
respite program in order to place children in a family setting and not in residential group care. SCA will perform these functions for the
agency allowing social workers to focus on family service delivery and risk assessment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these positions are not added Children and Family Services will have insufficient staff to adequately ensure state mandated compliance
requirements are met. The children will be at risk of experiencing multiple placement changes and remaining in long term foster care.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
These services are essential to the children’s ability to receive services and reunify with their families in a timely manner. Their placement
options with birth families and kin providers will increase, therefore avoiding placements in stranger care and group home facilities. The
children will avoid long term foster care and have more stable placements that will result in permanent situations such as legal guardianship
and adoption.

(represented) position at salary plan and grade ZA5 1594 ($6,895 - $8,381) in the Library Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $5,546. No fiscal impact to the County general
fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Library seeks to add replace one vacant full-time Information Systems Specialist III position and replace it with a full-time Information
Systems Programmer and Analyst II position in its Automation unit.
Shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic closures, the Library was the target of a ransomware attack. As a result of this, the Library and DoIT
implemented multiple new security procedures to protect from malicious attacks across all network services.
The Library’s Automation unit, which handles internet security and the installation of hardware and software for over 1000 public and staff
computers, has had increased work and responsibility as a result of the fallout from the ransomware attack as well as additional procedures due
to COVID-19 protocols.
In this structure, the Library maintains all applications for direct service to the public, such as public computers, the automated circulation
system, and vendor databases. As the needs for information technology support continue to evolve in this new structure, the Library has
identified other unmet needs which would be provided by a programmer and analyst position. This new position would meet Library-specific
needs for the implementation of vendor databases, security assessment of vendor databases, troubleshooting patron and staff issues, and the
inter-operation of Library-specific applications.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In establishing this position, the duties performed by a currently vacant Information Systems Specialist III position would be distributed to

eliminated.

If this position change is not approved, the Library will not be able to sufficiently meet its internet security needs and obligations. Services
to the public may also be impacted in that some planned database and other program implementations would need to be delayed or canceled.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26088 to add one (1) Account Clerk – Experienced Level (JDVC) (represented) position at a
salary plan and grade 3RH 0755 ($3,924.19 - $4,864.83), add one (1) Secretary - Advanced Level (J3TG) (represented) position at a salary plan
and grade 3R2 1163 ($4,636.31 - $5,934.87), and cancel one (1) Network Administrator – I (LNSA) (represented) position number 00017185 at
a salary plan and grade ZA5 1694 ($7,613.18 - $9,253.86) in the Department of Conservation and Development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The net cost is $43,441.13 annually, of which $8,207.20 is retirement costs. Funding for these positions will come entirely from Land
Development funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Business and Information Services Division of the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is requesting the addition of two
new positions. The Account Clerk – Experienced Level position is needed to provide additional support and facilitate redistribution of workload
within our Fiscal Section to better support operational needs. This additional Account Clerk – Experienced Level position is also necessitated in
part due to recent staffing changes. The Secretary - Advanced Level position is needed to support our recently appointed Deputy Director. The
Secretary - Advanced Level classification encompasses the skill set needed for the job functions, specifically related to administrative support.
This Secretary - Advanced Level would report directly to and receive work from the Deputy Director of the Business and Information Services
Division.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the addition of these positions are not approved, the Department will not have the appropriate staff to meet current needs thereby negatively
impacting operations.

County
Subject:Reassign positions and incumbents from Community Services Bureau to Administrative Services Bureau in the Employment and
Human Services Department.
BACKGROUND:
In August 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved a proposal to integrate the Community Services Department into the Employment and
Human Services Department (EHSD). In January 2007, the Board gave final approval to the merger and the integration of the Community
Services Bureau (CSB) Chart of Accounts into the EHSD Chart of Accounts. The Board took this action in order to increase administrative
efficiencies and improve the coordination of services to the common customer population. This action continues this transition by
integrating CSB Fiscal into EHSD fiscal to improve oversight and consistency of fiscal practices.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Department’s budget will not align with its position management data, and the County will not be able to
maximize efficiency in administering Fiscal functions.

18925 (Org # 6387) from 35/40 to 31/40 and position no. 18348 (Org # 6388) from 40/40 to 31/40, at salary plan and grade 1PX-1000 ($17,464
- $19,917) and its incumbents in the Health Services Department. (Represented)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this will result in an annual cost savings of approximately $118,128, with $30,122 in pension cost already included. The cost
savings will be to Hospital Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
Incumbents in this classification have the ability to request that their position hours be increased or decreased, as outlined in the Memorandum
of Understanding between the County and Physicians and Dentists of Contra Costa union. The incumbent in position No. 18925 (Org # 6387)
has requested to reduce their hours from 35/40 to 31/40, and the incumbent in position No. 18348 (Org # 6388) has requested to reduce their
hours from 40/40 to 31/40 due to scheduling changes. The Medical Staffing Office has determined that the reduction of hours as requested by
the incumbents will have no significant impact on meeting service needs.

From:Anna Roth, Health Services

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Add 232 positions in varied classifications in the Health Services Department
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
The department is submitting fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 baseline and recommended budgets that include these positions. The positions when
filled will be fully funded by various funding sources within the divisions, which include third party-revenue, increasing Medi-Cal
reimbursements due to benefit expansions and the transition of Contra Costa Health Plan to a single plan model that will offset some of the
costs for CCRMC/HC, CCHP and Behavioral Health, and reductions to registry, temporary employee, and overtime expenditures when
permanent staff are hired into the positions. The addition of these positions will not require any change to the department’s existing
budgeted County subsidy.
BACKGROUND:
The County Administrator’s Office advised Department Heads of the County’s transition to a position level budgeting and control that
tracks authority for full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by department and job class. Departments obtain operationally necessary position
authority through the annual budget process or by obtaining Board approval through Position Adjustment Resolutions. The Health Services
Department has obtained position authority by both processes, while also maintaining the vacant unfunded positions that are typically
eliminated through the budget process or administratively.
During the initial phase of the FY 2023-2024 budget development process, Health Services and the County Administrator’s Office worked
through solutions to address the approximate 478 vacant FTEs the department unfunded during prior budget development cycles yet
maintained in the position system of record (PeopleSoft). In December, the department identified a total of 80.97 vacant unfunded FTEs for
elimination within the Public Health (36.68 FTE), California Children's Services (0.5 FTE), Mental Health (4.0 FTE), and CCRMC/HC
(39.79 FTE) divisions. The department further reviewed their vacant unfunded positions during the salary and benefit forecasting budget
activities for FY 2023-24 and identified 325.17 FTE in CCRMC/HC for elimination. This resulted in a total FTE count of 406.17 to be
eliminated departmentwide.
The amount of FTE eliminations submitted by the department were done in error due to a misunderstanding over the revised process of
handling unfunded vacant positions. Traditionally, vacant positions were removed from the department's recommended budget but
remained available in PeopleSoft for the department’s immediate use as needed to address conversion of registry staff to permanent
employment; filling positions to decrease the need for costly overtime; and hiring temporary and contractors on a permanent basis to address
service level demands. Hiring permanent staff to fill these positions was always contingent on identified cost savings or the availability of
external funding sources.
The department has determined there is a need to retain a portion of the previously eliminated positions in order to meet its operational
needs. Accordingly, the department is submitting the attached Position Adjustment Resolution with a list of the 232 positions to be added
for a total of 219.18 FTEs. The Board’s approval will provide the position authority the department has requested of the County
Administrator’s Office and will eliminate position and FTE discrepancies currently in PeopleSoft due to the significant volume of vacant
unfunded positions the department had previously maintained. Additionally, the department is engaging with County administrative staff to
move forward with a more appropriate position management and control approach, which establishes vacancy factors within the budget to
account for attrition and acknowledgment of the various staffing approaches the department utilizes to maintain operationally necessary
staffing levels.
Approval of this request will allow the department to utilize the positions necessary for on-going operations and will require no change to
the department’s existing budgeted County subsidy. As the department continues to engage in position reconciliation activities within its
various divisions, it may bring further Position Adjustment Resolutions to the Board for consideration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
There will not be sufficient positions to meet the operational demands which adversely affect patient care services in Contra Costa.

BACKGROUND:
The Area Agency on Aging (AAA), a division in EHSD’s Aging and Adult Services Bureau, is the direct service provider of HICAP in
Contra Costa County. On June 8, 2021, the Board of Supervisors accepted Resolution No. 2021/172 authorizing the EHSD Director to sign
Agreement No. HI-2122-07 with the California Department of Aging (CDA) to deliver HICAP services with funding not to exceed
$370,343 for contracting period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Resolution No. 2022/182 approved by the Board on May 24, 2022
authorized the EHSD Director to sign Amendment #1 to this agreement, increasing funding to a new amount not to exceed $1,019,500 with
a new contract period of July 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024. EHSD is seeking Board approval to authorize the EHSD Director, or
designee, to sign Amendment #2 to agreement HI-2122-7 and accept the funding increase of $3,788 to a new contract amount not to exceed
$1,023,288. The contract period of July 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024 remains the same. HICAP serves Medicare beneficiaries aged 60 years
and older as well as adults with disabilities in Contra Costa County. Services include advocacy, counseling, education, and assistance to
better understand Medicare options and enroll in programs to lower health care costs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without funding for HICAP, Medicare eligible beneficiaries in Contra Costa would be without an agency to provide no-cost, impartial and

County
Subject:Participation Agreement #28-300-10 with the California Department of Health Care Services
BACKGROUND:
The DHCS is responsible for administering the CMAA Program which is authorized by Title 42, United States Code Section 1396 and
Welfare and Institutions Code Division 9, Part 3, Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 14000) and Chapter 8 (commencing with Section
14200). The Federal Social Security Act mandates cooperative arrangements between the single state agency and participating local
government agencies (LGA’s) responsible for providing health related administrative activities. The goal of this agreement is to ensure that
Contra Costa County Medi-Cal potentially eligible individuals and their families are appropriately informed of the Medi-Cal Program, how
to access it, and assisted in accessing the CMAA services.
On March 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #28-300-7 with the DHCS in an amount no to exceed
$27,000,000 for the Medi-Cal Administrative Activities Program, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024.
On June 21, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement Amendment #28-300-9 with DHCS to revise contract language
for clarification purposes, update existing exhibits and add a new exhibit for continuation of the County’s Health Services Department for
the CMAA Program, through June 30, 2024.
This agreement is being processed late because the documents were not received by the Health Services Department from DHCS until
November 29, 2022.
Approval of this Participation Agreement #28-300-10 will replace Standard Agreement #28-300-7 (and subsequent Amendment #28-300-9)
and allow the County to continue to participate in the CMAA Program and receive reimbursement for these services. This agreement
includes agreeing to indemnify the DHCS for any claims arising out of the County’s performance under the agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, the County will not be able to partner with DHCS for their administration of CMAA Program and for
the County to be reimbursed for CMAA expenditures.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no change the original amount awarded to the County of $895,271 from the CDPH. No county match required.
BACKGROUND:
The CERI funds are intended to address COVID-19 and advance health equity through strategies, interventions, and services that consider
systemic barriers and potentially discriminatory practices that have put certain groups at higher risk for diseases like COVID-19 for
disproportionately impacted racial and ethnic groups, rural populations, those experiencing socioeconomic disparities, and other underserved
communities

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
within state and local health jurisdictions.
On May 3, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Award #28-994 with CDPH, to pay the County in an amount not to exceed
$895,271, to implement strategies that better position the department to meet COVID-19 response and recovery needs and prioritize and target
resources to those most vulnerable to the impacts of the pandemic, for the period from September 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.
This Grant Award Extension #28-994-1 will allow the County to continue to address COVID-19 health disparities among populations at
high-risk and underserved through May 31, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to apply for and, if selected, accept California Office of Traffic Safety
(OTS) Grant funds, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program for a countywide Vision Zero roadway
safety education campaign, for the period from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial that women across the state, in all industries and localities, receive the support they need. The
Commission is currently accepting grant applications from nonprofits, direct service providers, local women’s commissions, intermediary
organizations, and governmental entities. The Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls has considered and intends to apply for the
opportunity to support women and girls in our community. These grants will supply structural support and resources to local communities and
will engage a network of local leaders while the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls continues to serve as a statewide
convener, facilitator, and administrator."
With up to $5 million available, the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls will award funds ranging from $25,000 to
$250,000 maximum. CCSWG will prioritize grant activities in the following areas, which may include, but are not limited to:
Improving access and affordability of child and/or elder care services;
Increasing the utilization and uptake of safety-net programs that offer services to support basic needs such as
shelter, food, clothing, etc.;
Achieving reskilling/upskilling through accreditation, certification, vocational or educational programs; and
Enhancing financial ability to grow economic security, assets, and wealth-building.

• Briefly describe the project, including the key tasks and
deliverables. (max 300 words)
The Northern Waterfront Priority Production Areas Technical Assistance Project (“The Project”) is the
identification and implementation of common tools for infrastructure improvements across multiple
Priority Production Areas (PPAs) of the County of Contra Costa, City of Concord, City of Pittsburg, City of
Antioch, and City of Oakley. Advancing the multi-jurisdictional Northern Waterfront Economic
Development Initiative--of which all these jurisdictions are a part--the Project will develop a shared
analysis and toolkit with a direct path to adoption and implementation of infrastructure improvements.
The Project’s key tasks and deliverables are the following:
1. The development of a shared inventory of industrial land within the PPAs across the Northern
Waterfront of Contra Costa County. This task will develop, within each of the PPAs, an online
searchable database of industrial zoned land that includes the number and size of parcels,
vacant and underutilized sites, zoning, infrastructure capacity, rail service and deep-water
access, and other information required by businesses and site selectors.
2. The development of an analysis of existing infrastructure capacity across the PPAs (utilities, etc.)
This will include an assessment of the utilities supply and distribution infrastructure, power
transmission and distribution infrastructure, water and sewer, broadband, and other
infrastructure. This task will identify the expansions and upgrades that are needed to maintain
an adequate supply of development-ready sites and support business growth.
3. The development and adoption of a common set of tools/template materials for local staff to
get adopted to address infrastructure needs/gaps. These common template materials will
include materials for implementing Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs).
4. The leveraging of the currently underway Resilient East Bay Industrial Land Use Analysis, and the
implementation and adoption of the East Bay Industrial Land Use Toolkit in the County & cities.
• How will the project have strategic impact? Does it advance Plan
Bay Area 2050 economy and transportation strategies, create or
protect PPA jobs, create benefits at regional/multi-jurisdiction scale, or
establish innovative/replicable programs or policies? (max 150 words)
The Project will have strategic impact in multiple ways. The goal of the Northern Waterfront Initiative is
to create 18,000 new jobs by 2035, and this project helps advance that goal. This project leverages the
multi-jurisdictional nature of the Northern Waterfront Initiative to create benefits at a regional/multi-
jurisdictional scale.
This project also has the potential to establish innovative/replicable programs or policies. Contra Costa
County has an adopted policy on participating in Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) with
cities that are seeking financial partnership with the County (see attached), and this policy has not yet
been utilized. Several cities are currently in the process of considering EIFDs and/or proposals to the
County. This grant is a timely opportunity to explore the EIFD tool and to create shared templates that
could turn into innovative/replicable programs or policies.
• How is the project consistent with the county or local plans and
policies? What is the project's alignment with countywide economic
development strategies, applicable general land use elements,
transportation plans, and any other applicable local plans and
policies? Please confirm that the project will result in an adopted
policy or planning document. (max 150 words)
The Project aligns with the objectives of the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative
Strategic Action Plan--of which Contra Costa County and the Cities of Concord, Pittsburg, Antioch, and
Oakley are part-- to maintain an adequate supply of development-ready sites and make utility
infrastructure improvements that are needed to support business growth.
The Project also aligns with the City of Pittsburg Economic Development Strategic Plan, “Reinvest
Antioch” Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the Update to the City of Oakley’s Economic
Development Work Plan by facilitating investment in the key industrial districts that are designated PPAs
and maintaining their long-term importance to the Northern Waterfront region.
The Project will result in common template materials for the jurisdictions to get adopted and
implemented as shown in the draft scope of work.
• How will the grant increase opportunity? Does it achieve outcomes
such as: Expand employment in a community with a jobs-housing
imbalance, benefit low or moderate-resource communities, or meet a
demonstrated funding need? (max 150 words)
This grant will increase opportunity in Contra Costa County by expanding employment in a community
with a jobs-housing imbalance. The Northern Waterfront has a severe jobs-housing imbalance, and the
Initiative is to bring business to where talent lives among the robust labor forces within Pittsburg,
Antioch, and Oakley. There exists 60% of the industrial land in Contra Costa County in the Northern
Waterfront, and yet it is an older built environment with aging infrastructure. To meet the goal to create
18,000 new jobs by 2035 along the Northern Waterfront in emerging industries including regenerative
industries that support a transition towards a zero-emission economy, autonomous vehicle
manufacturing, prefabricated housing production, advanced transportation technology, maker spaces,
clean technology, and even biomedical/biotechnology, this grant will provide special attention to the
PPAs’ abilities to accommodate these industries with the infrastructure needed to support economic
revitalization and create living-wage jobs.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director, Department of Conservation and Development, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funding
of up to $750,000 from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for the Northern Waterfront Priority Production Areas Technical
Assistance Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If awarded, the submission of the proposed grant materials is expected to result in a grant award of up to $750,000 from MTC to the Department
of Conservation and Development to fund the technical assistance to support planning and infrastructure in the Priority Production Areas
(PPAs) of the Northern Waterfront as described in this Board Order. There is no required match.
BACKGROUND:
On June 17, 2019, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) released an
open call for letters of interest for a new pilot program that introduced Priority Production Areas (PPAs) as a new Priority Area designation.
Priority Areas are specific locations well suited for a specific use and previously only included Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and Priority
Conservation Areas (PCAs). PPAs were based on new criteria developed by ABAG/MTC that called for the enhancement and protection of
industrial areas. The intention of the pilot program was to protect and support the Bay Area’s industrial and manufacturing sectors through the
provision of resources and implementation of streamlining actions. Thus, these PPAs are districts that are consistent with current land use
designations, have the capacity to add jobs, and spur economic growth.
On December 17, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2019/636, nominating two County districts in Bay Point and Pacheco
as Association of Bay Area Governments/Metropolitan Transportation Commission's recognized Priority Production Areas, and supporting the
City of Antioch's nomination of the Wilbur Avenue corridor, in order to establish eligibility for grant funding and other resources. At that point
in the pilot program, there was no associated grant funding.

Subject:Northern Waterfront Priority Production Areas Technical Assistance Project
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In December 2022, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) released a solicitation for funding proposals for jurisdictions
seeking planning grants and technical assistance for their Priority Production Areas (PPAs). The Priority Production Area (PPA) Pilot
Program makes available technical assistance (TA) worth up to $750,000 for projects focused on developing shared analysis or frameworks
for implementing programs/policies across multiple PPAs, with no match required.
Given the multi-jurisdictional nature of the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative, staff investigated opportunities with
neighboring agencies for a collaborative approach in order to increase our chances of success. It is expected that multi-jurisdiction
Technical Assistance (TA) grants will provide the feasibility analysis, framework, and template materials necessary for local staff to get
PPA-related programs or policies adopted. The Northern Waterfront Priority Production Areas Technical Assistance Project (“The
Project”) is the identification and implementation of common tools for infrastructure improvements across multiple Priority Production
Areas (PPAs) in the Northern Waterfront, namely those in the County and in the Cities of Concord, Pittsburg, Antioch and Oakley. The four
cities are supportive of the County's proposal. The grant materials are being submitted to the Board with sufficient time to seek approval
from the Board of Supervisors prior to the submittal deadline of February 23, 2023.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failing to submit will prevent the Department of Conservation and Development from receiving a grant award for technical assistance from

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute an amended subcontract agreement,
effective December 31, 2022, with the Association of Bay Area Governments, to extend the term through December 31, 2023 and increase the
payment limit from the California Public Utilities Commission to the County by $284,570 to a new payment limit of $1,146,680 to support
marketing, education, and outreach for energy efficiency programs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the General Fund. The CPUC funding allocated is expected to cover all costs incurred to support the Bay Area
Regional Energy Network (BayREN) program. No County matching funds are required.
BACKGROUND:
In July 2012, the County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing the Bay Area Regional Energy Network
(BayREN), a collaborative partnership among the nine Bay Area counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo,
Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties) and led by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), for the purpose of facilitating the
implementation of energy efficiency programs throughout the Bay Area. On May 5, 2015, a Restated and Revised MOU was approved by the
County to better define the roles and responsibilities of ABAG and the counties participating in BayREN.
In late 2012, the CPUC approved BayREN as a pilot program (effective January 1, 2013) to implement Energy Efficiency (EE) Programs for
the purpose of filling gaps in EE Program activities not being offered by the Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs, such as Pacific Gas and Electric)
or Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs, such as MCE).
Since 2013, all BayREN counties have been receiving CPUC funding each calendar year to provide marketing, education and outreach for
various EE Programs offered through BayREN. On June 5, 2018, the CPUC issued a decision (D. 18-05-41) that, among other things, approved
the BayREN business plan with a BayREN budget increase of approximately $5.8 Million and allocated a similar amount of funding each year
thereafter through calendar year 2025. To reduce the uncertainty about whether Regional Energy Networks (RENs) should continue as a

concept, the CPUC also issued a decision (D.1 9-12-021) on December 12, 2019, that removed the "pilot" designation for all RENs across the
State and established a process for creating new RENs.
The business plan allows BayREN to design and implement EE Programs for residential and commercial buildings, as well as activities related
to energy code compliance. The residential and commercial programs offer free technical services and financial incentives (rebates) if
owners/contractors make specific energy efficiency improvements to existing single-family, multi-family or commercial buildings. Also
included is a green labeling program that provides incentives to homeowners and participating contractors to offer a home energy score to
interested single-family homeowners. The Building Codes and Standards subprogram provides, among other things, resources and trainings to
support local government officials with building energy code compliance and enforcement. Continued implementation and expansion of these
energy efficiency programs are consistent with the County's Climate Action Plan adopted in 2015.
To continue to receive CPUC funds to support BayREN EE Programs throughout Contra Costa County, a subcontract agreement between
ABAG and Contra Costa County was executed on August 28, 2020, for a period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 for an amount
not to exceed $862,110.
The proposed amended subcontract agreement between ABAG and Contra Costa County will allow the County to continue to implement
BayREN subprograms throughout Contra Costa County. The amount specified in the agreement would increase the total contract amount by
$284,570 from $862,110 to $1,146,680 and extend the term an additional year for a period of January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2023.
These funds are to cover County costs associated with promoting the program for both incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County.
Technical services and rebates offered by BayREN for these activities are directly administered by ABAG and are funded separately under the
overall BayREN budget approved by the CPUC.
Under the subcontract amendment, the County must indemnify the other counties and ABAG for claims alleging intellectual property
infringement related to materials the County prepares under the Agreement. The County also must indemnify ABAG, the CPUC, and PG&E
from any third-party claims or liabilities that arise from the County's performance of its obligations under the subcontract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not receive funding for calendar year 2023 to participate in BayREN activities or provide the associated energy efficiency
program services to County residents and property owners. The County would also not have funding to support the energy efficiency activities
specified in the County’s Climate Action Plan.

Subject:Purchase Order with Applied Medical Distribution Corporation
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Applied Medical Distribution Corporation is an awarded supplier on the Vizient Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contract portfolio
for endomechanicals. Additionally, they are a designated supplier on the Vizient Environmentally Preferred Sourcing Program for their
trocars and instruments. Applied Medical Distribution Corporation is committed to protecting our environment and the earth’s natural
resources. They identify and manage current and future environmental sustainability initiatives by tracking energy usage, water
consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and waste generation. Through these efforts, they endeavor to reduce our environmental
impact consistently and responsibly.
Based on Vizient’s 2023 budget impact projections, market prices for medical and surgical supplies are expected to raise by 3.2% to 3.5%
due to the persisting challenges facing supply chain. The Consumer price Index-urban is projecting a three-year increase of 14.1%. This is
due to the unique market variables created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Volatility in the markets and the large number of unknowns has
presented a challenge forecasting economic projections for the healthcare market. To compensate for the market increases the department is
recommending an increase of $100,000 over three years to the customary one-year budget request of $199,000.
On December 1, 2021 Vizient Supply LLC and Applied Medical Distribution Corporation entered into an amendment to extend the
expiration date of the agreement from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2025. CCRMC is requesting a purchase order through the end of the
current Vizient agreement.
Approval of this action will allow the vendor to continue providing endomechanical surgical supplies and instruments for the Operating
Room at CCRMC.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase order is not approved, patients served by Contra Costa County requiring surgical procedures will be negatively impacted as
CCRMC will lack the necessary endomechanical supplies and instruments to perform surgeries.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to an overwhelming increase of illegal dumping in the community. A review of crime statistics in Bay Point shows a significant increase in
reported crimes involving quality of life issues, thefts, assaults, and mental health evaluations which directly impact low-income populations and
cause a significant increase in cost to taxpayers.
It was determined that the low cost of cameras in certain areas of the Bay Point community will aid greatly in the identification of perpetrators
for prosecution and prevention of illegal dumping will actually save in the cost of post crime investigations by law enforcement, clean up
projects by County Code Enforcement Agents and the environmental impact illegal dumping poses when dangerous materials and chemicals are
disposed of in public lands.

Automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras will not be purchased and there will be no additional measures in place to deter and solve crime.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
Contractor: HD Supply Facilities Maintenance, LP
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 7, 2023 (“Effective Date”), by
and between Contra Costa County, a political subdivision of the State of California (“County”), and HD
Supply Facilities Maintenance, LP, a Florida limited partnership (which is registered in Florida under the
name “HD SUPPLY FACILITIES MAINTENANCE, LTD,” and formerly known as The Home Depot
PRO) (hereinafter referred to as “Contractor”), whose principal place of business is 3400 Cumberland
Blvd., Atlanta, GA 30339. The County and Contractor are sometimes referred to herein together as the
“Parties,” and each as a “Party.”
Whereas, Contractor offers goods and janitorial supplies under that “Cleaning Supplies and Equipment,
and Custodial Related Products Services and Solutions Agreement,” dated September 29, 2022, awarded
after a competitive process in response to Request for Proposals No. 22-07 by Fresno Unified School
District, California (“Master Contract”) and made available to public agencies nationally by OMNIA
Public Purchasing Purchasing Alliance (“OMNIA”).
Whereas, the County has determined that entering into a participating addendum under the OMNIA
program provides a benefit to the County, but that certain terms and conditions of the Master Contract
must be modified to meet legal requirements that apply to the County.
Whereas, the County is participating in the Master Contract to be able to purchase competitively priced
supplies and goods and not to contract for janitorial services.
Now therefore, Contractor and the County agree as follows:
1. Term. This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and shall be coterminous with the Master
Contract, unless sooner terminated by the Parties. Either Party may terminate this Agreement
with or without cause upon ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice to the other Party.
2. Payment Limit. The County’s total payments to Contractor under this Agreement shall not
exceed $3,100,000 (“Payment Limit”). Nothing in this Agreement obligates the County to make
any purchases, or any particular volume of purchases, under this Agreement.
3. Changes to Master Contract. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms of the Master
Contract are incorporated in, and made a part of, this Agreement, except for those terms of the
Master Contract that are modified by this Agreement, as follows:
a. Parties. Each reference to “Fresno Unified School District,” “Fresno Unified School
DISTRICT,” “DISTRICT,” and “District,” is deleted and replaced with “Contra Costa
County,” Contra Costa County,” “County,” and “County,” respectively. Each reference
to “Contract Administrator” in the Master Contract is hereby deleted and replaced with
“Purchasing Agent.” Each reference to “Fresno USD Board” shall be inapplicable for
purposes of this Agreement. Each reference to “PROVIDER,” “Supplier,” and “Vendor”
in the Master Contract shall mean the Contractor.

b. Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Master Contract, each
certificate of insurance that Contractor, or any subcontractor, is required to provide the
County under Section 10 of the Master Contract shall include “Contra Costa County, its
officers, employees, and representatives” as additional insureds by separate, scheduled or
blanket, endorsement.
c. Governing Law and Venue. The second sentence of Section 15 (Governing Law and
Venue) of the Master Contract is deleted and replaced with the following new second
sentence, to read:
“Any litigation brought under this Contract shall be filed in a state or federal court in
California where venue is proper, and which has jurisdiction over the parties and over
the subject matter of the litigation.”
d. Purchases and Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Master
Contract, all purchases under the Master Contract will be made by the County through
purchase orders that incorporate the terms of this Agreement by reference. Terms in the
purchase order related to goods ordered, payment terms, and delivery of such goods shall
prevail over any conflicting terms of this Agreement and the Master Contract. All other
terms of the Master Contract, including but not limited to pricing, insurance,
indemnification, warranties, and limitations of warranties, shall prevail over any
conflicting terms of the purchase order.
4. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by mutual agreement of
the Parties in writing.
5. Performance. Contractor affirms that there are no encumbrances or obstacles, which will prohibit
its performance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Contractor shall be solely responsible for
guaranteeing any of its dealers, distributors, or subcontractors perform in accordance with the
requirements of the Master Contract.
6. Notices. Notices to the Parties shall be provided to:

Subject:Purchase Order with Trace3, LLC for Pager Duty Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
due to an administrative oversight, and is tied to the original purchase order with the efffective date of August 29, 2020. This approval also
allows for additional licenses to be purchased with the purchase order under the correct vendor name.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, alerts may be inconsistently received and may end up going to the incorrect individuals, resulting in extended
downtimes and outages, and reducing the ability for CCHS to provide services to both internal and external users. Without PagerDuty,
alerts are not managed through a central system, and it is a confusing and lengthy process to add and remove users from shifts.

On October 4, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-620-2 with Christian Eisert, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000
for the provision of otolaryngology services at CCRMC and health centers, for the period October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025.
In consideration of the contractor’s services expected to be utilized, the recent increase in clinic rates and the agreement to continue providing
such services, the department and contractor have agreed to (1) mutual cancellation of the current contract in accordance with the General
Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination), of the contract (Cancellation Agreement #76-620-3), and (2) establish a new contract with the correct
terms and conditions for the next three years.
Under Contract #76-620-4, the contractor will continue to provide otolaryngology services with a new contract term of February 8, 2023
through January 31, 2026.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the cancellation is not approved, the contractor will not be compensated accurately for the services being provided. If the new contract is not
approved, certain specialized otolaryngology services for CCRMC patients will not be provided.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #26-700-16 with Jaison
James, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000, to provide orthopedic services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
(CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Center patients, for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,200,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by
Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)
BACKGROUND:
Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers relies on contracts
to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. CCRMC has contracted with Dr. James for orthopedic specialty services since
August 2011.
On February 22, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-700-15 with Jaison James, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $400,000,
to provide orthopedic services, including consultation, training, medical and surgical procedures for CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers
patients for the period from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to pay $82,967 to US Foods, Inc. for the purchase of various food categories, chemicals,
paper products, kitchen supplies and equipment for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) during the period of July 12, 2022,
through December 29, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this amendment will result in expenditures of up to $82,967 and is entirely funded through the Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
US Foods, Inc. (dba US Foodservice, Inc.) has been CCRMC’s primary food and nutrition distributor for the past year and has done an
excellent job in offering a variety of food options at a lower price than our previous vendor, Sysco San Francisco, Inc. The Nutrition
Department recently transitioned from utilizing Food Service Partners to preparing food in house. Making this transition was imperative for
improving patient food quality and standards, which has also increased our need to rely on US Foods, Inc. for most of our product needs.
On January 11, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved item C.78 to execute a purchase order (#24200) with US Foods, Inc. in the amount of
$1,000,000 for the purchase of all food categories, chemicals, paper products, kitchen supplies and equipment for Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. US Foods, Inc. is an awarded supplier for Food
and Nutrition Distribution on the Vizient Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contract portfolio.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Payment for Products and Supplies Provided by US Foods, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
During the past year, food inflation has risen by approximately 7.5% - 8.5% due to key factors such as increased freight charges and delays,
elevated labor wages and labor shortages, grain and poultry shortages and drought conditions. Due to administrative oversight, the
department did not become aware of the shortfall in available funds under the current purchase order with US Foods, Inc. until November
of 2022.
As such, the Department recommends that the Board authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a one-time payment to US Foods, Inc. in an
amount not to exceed $82,967. Nutrition services will continue to collaborate with Materials Management to track and monitor their
monthly expenses going forward.
The vendor is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of the products and supplies under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit.
The theory provides that where a vendor has been asked to provide products and supplies without a valid payment instrument, and the
vendor does so to the benefit of the County, the vendor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those items. The vendor has provided
services at the request of the CCRMC staff.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Title 22 requires the provision of food of the quality and quantity to meet the patient's needs in accordance with physicians' orders and, to
the extent medically possible, to meet the Recommended Daily Dietary Allowances, adopted by the Food and Nutrition Board of the
National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences.
If this action is not approved, the CCRMC account will be placed on hold and Nutrition Services would not be able to prepare meals for
patients and/or the hospital staff, and be in violation of Title 22, CMS, and other regulatory agencies.

County
Subject:Advertisement and CEQA actions for the Cooling Towers Replacement Project at CCRMC (WH536B)
BACKGROUND:
The Cooling Towers Replacement Project is located at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center in Martinez, California. The cooling
towers serve the heating, cooling and ventilation system for the main hospital. They provide space cooling to the interior spaces in the
hospital. The three existing cooling towers are over 25 years old and have exceeded their expected useful life. Maintenance costs to keep the
existing towers functional have increased over the last few years. Contra Costa County Public Works Department is engaged in a project to
replace the existing rooftop cooling towers with new, at-grade cooling towers. A new exterior support structure for the new cooling towers
will be constructed at grade on the northeast side of the hospital near a service loading dock. The replacement cooling towers will be
installed there. Taking advantage of the existing turn-around space adjacent to the service loading dock, very little new hardscape will be
required. New overhead utility service lines will be installed connecting the new cooling towers to the existing hospital mechanical plant
and power plant. The new towers will be tied in to the hospital’s HVAC system before the existing rooftop towers are decommissioned and
demolished.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the advertisement is not approved, the Project will not be constructed, subjecting the hospital to increasing maintenance effort and
expense to keep the existing equipment operational and leaving the hospital increasingly vulnerable to a catastrophic system failure that
would leave the hospital without space cooling, potentially forcing the closure of the hospital. Alternately, the County might pursue the
replacement of the towers in-place, on the roof of the hospital. However, this approach would be more costly, would take longer to execute,
would result in a temporary (days to weeks) shutdown of the hospital cooling system, and would miss an opportunity to make the system
easier to maintain.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact. The applicant has paid the necessary application deposit and is obligated to pay supplemental fees to recover any and
all additional costs associated with the application process.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Dish Network wireless telecommunication facility will be located on an existing PG&E transmission tower located on an open
space parcel in Blackhawk west of the intersection of Eagle Nest Place and Eagle Nest Road. Per the conditions of approval (COA) of
Subdivision 6432, the development rights for the open space parcel have been dedicated to Contra Costa County necessitating the Board to
authorize installation of the facility on the existing tower.
The PG&E transmission tower currently includes T-Mobile and AT&T wireless telecommunications facilities. The PG&E transmission tower
also includes a Metro PCS facility not currently in operation. The T-Mobile and Metro PCS facilities were approved by the Zoning
Administrator on February 27, 2006, and by the Board of Supervisors on March 13, 2007. The existing AT&T facility was approved to be
collocated on the tower by the Zoning Administrator on July 6, 2009, and then by the Board of Supervisors on October 6, 2009.

Subject:Authorization for the Installation of a Telecommunications Facility within the Blackhawk Development (Dish Wireless -
Applicant)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On April 15, 2022, Dish Wireless submitted an application to amend the Blackhawk Final Development Plan (County File
#CDDP84-03003) to allow the colocation of a Dish wireless telecommunication equipment on the existing Pacific Gas & Electric tower.
The proposed facility will consist of the following tower equipment: three (3) panel antennas, six (6) remote radio units (two per sector),
one surge suppression device, one hybrid cable, twenty-four (24) jumpers, three (3) remote electrical tilt cables. Ground based equipment
will be placed within a 116-square-foot lease that includes: one cable tray / ice bridge, one utility H-frame, one baseband unit in cabinet, one
equipment cabinet, one power conduit, one TELCO conduit, one NEMA 3 TELCO-fiber box, one global positioning system (GPS) antenna
and a Camlock GEN LUG Intersect. The antennas will be located at the top of the existing Pacific Gas & Electric transmission tower, and
the ground-based equipment will be located under the tower behind a 6 foot eight-inch-tall enclosure. On November 21, 2022, the Zoning
Administrator conducted a noticed public hearing on the application. No public testimony was received, and the application was approved
subject to conditions. As such, the proposed project is deemed consistent with the existing uses on-site, which was approved by the Zoning
Administrator. Therefore, staff recommends the Board of Supervisors authorize the collocation of the Dish wireless telecommunication
facility on the property where the development rights have been granted to the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, County File #CDLP22-02008 will be denied, and the applicant will not have the right to construct a new Dish Wireless
Telecommunications facility.

Needle Exchange Update Report to Family & Human Services Committee
October 2022
Page 1 of 24
RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Accept this report on needle exchange as part of the comprehensive prevention program to
reduce transmission of HIV in Contra Costa County.
2) Direct the Health Services Department to continue supporting and monitoring sterile needle
exchange services utilizing a modified “needs-based” distribution exchange model with built-in
incentives to return used needles.
GLOSSARY
Terms currently used to discuss needle exchange services include:
◻ Sterile needle/syringe instead of clean needle/syringe.
◻ Used needle/syringe instead of dirty needle/syringe.
◻ People who inject drugs (PWID) instead of Injection Drug Users (IDUs).
◻ One-for-one exchange model involves exchanging one sterile needle/syringe for a used one;
the individual cannot get any additional needles/syringes.
◻ Needs-based exchange model is less restrictive and allows individuals to receive as many
needles/syringes as they self-report using in each day, without regard to the number of
needles and syringes returned. This model increases opportunity for PWID to always have a
sterile needle on hand.
SUMMARY
In 2006, the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors:
• Terminated the local State of Emergency first declared on December 14, 1999.
• Authorized the Health Services Department to administer a clean needle and syringe
exchange project pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 121349 et seq; and
• Directed the Health Services Director to annually report to the Board on the status of the
clean needle and syringe exchange project.
This report satisfies State regulatory requirements to maintain needle exchange services
in Contra Costa and covers the period of January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022.
As of June 2022, 2,869 individuals are living wit h HIV or AIDS in Contra Costa. Between 2020
and 2022, the percentage of people living with HIV and identifying injection drug use (IDU) as the
mode of transmission has dropped from 6.7% of all those living with HIV to 6.4%. In addition, the
percentage of those newly infected with HIV in 2021/2022 identifying IDU as the mode of
transmission was 1.3%, a decrease from 2018 (2.7%) and 2019 (2.1%). This speaks in large part
to the importance of the County’s accessible, weekly needle exchange services.

Needle Exchange Update Report to Family & Human Services Committee
October 2022
Page 2 of 24
In Contra Costa County, needle exchange services are provided through a contract with the HIV
Education and Prevention Project of Alameda County (HEPPAC). The Health Department
provides an annual amount of $97,000 from County General Funds to support the weekly
operation of needle exchange services in West and East County. In addition, harm red uction
services including needle exchange are offered in Martinez at Waterfront Park by the Martinez
Harm Reduction Collective (MHRC), a volunteer group that acts as a secondary exchanger with
HEPPAC. Please note, the funds from Contra Costa’s contract with HEPPAC do not support
MHRC; HEPPAC utilizes funds from other sources to provide them with technical assistance and
harm reduction supplies.
The availability of needle exchange as part of a comprehensive continuum of services for PWID
continues to be a necessary public health measure to reduce transmission of blood borne
diseases in Contra Costa.
BACKGROUND ON ACCESS TO STERILE NEEDLES TO REDUCE TRANSMISSION
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reports that of the 139,703 people who were
living with HIV/AIDS in California in 2020, 5.5% identified their risk for HIV as solely as IDU.1
Further, the CDPH Office of Viral Hepatitis reports that transmission of hepatitis C is primarily
through sharing needles, syringes, or other drug inject ion equipment. Lack of access to new,
sterile injection equipment is one of the primary risk factors that may lead to sharing hypodermic
needles and syringes, which puts PWID at elevated risk for HIV, HCV, and Hepatitis B
infections.2
Needle exchange has been an essential component of Contra Costa’s strategy to reduce the
transmission of HIV attributed to IDU since 1999, when the program operated under the Board’s
declaration of a State of Emergency to authorize needle exchange services. Health and Safety
Code Section 121349.3 removed the requirement for a Declaration of Emergency and current
regulations now require only that needle exchange information be provided at an open meeting of
the authorizing body every two years.
From 2005-2010, Contra Costa participated in a statewide Disease Prevention Demonstration
Project (DPDP) to assess the potential to reduce transmission of HIV by increasing access to
sterile needles and syringes. The project evaluation showed lower injection -related risks among
people who inject drugs in counties with syringe exchange programs. Additionally, evaluators of
the pilot project found lower levels of unsafe discard of used syringes, no increase in the rate of
accidental needle-stick injuries to law enforcement, and no increase in rates of drug use or drug-
related crime.3

As a result of the success of the DPDP, 2011 legislation expanded syringe access through
pharmacies throughout the state. Assembly Bill (AB) 1743 (Ting, Chapter 331, Statutes of 2014)
further expanded access in January 2015 by allowing customers to purchase and possess an
unlimited number of syringes. Participating pharmacies must provide counseling and offer
information on safe disposal.
REDUCING TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE
As of June 30, 2022, there were 2,869 individuals reported living with HIV (PLHIV) in Contra
Costa. Roughly 33.7% reside in Central County, 33.5% in West County, and 32.8% in East
County.4 Of all PLHIV in Contra Costa, 323 individuals (11.3%) identify injection drug use or
injection drug use among men who have sex with other men as their mode of HIV transmission.5
Among new HIV infections in Contra Costa County, most new cases are still attributed to male-to-
male sexual contact (MMSC). Of the total newly diagnosed HIV cases (153) between January 1,
2021, and June 30, 2022, 94 (61.4%) were attributed to MMSC. Since 2018 the total number of
new diagnoses attributable to injection drug alone use has decreased from 2.7% to 1.3%.

MATERNAL TRANSMISSION
It often takes two or three months for an accurate diagnosis of HIV or AIDS in a newborn since a
positive test at birth may reflect maternal antibodies and not HIV infection. Children with HIV have
usual childhood infections more often and more severely than uninfected children and can also
be susceptible to the same opportunistic infections as adults with HIV.
Of the 2,869 individuals living with HIV or AIDS in Contra Costa County in 2022, 26 are pediatric
cases: the majority are now adults and 3 are children 12 years of age or younger. Identification
and treatment of HIV-positive women in prenatal care is nearly universal, but we continue to
encounter women who do not seek prenatal care prior to delivery. As an example, in February
2022, Contra Costa had one new case of

maternally transmitted HIV. A comprehensive case review completed by our HIV Surveillance
Coordinator and the Outbreak and Investigation Unit of the Office of AIDS found that the prenatal
care was accessed late (24 weeks) in pregnancy, through multiple providers, and two outside
LHJs. Seroconversion occurred shortly before delivery, which was one month after the initial
prenatal visit and initial negative HIV test. System changes were proposed, including increased
collaboration between LHJs and increased testing of high-risk pregnant individuals, and there
have been no new subsequent maternal transmission cases reported. Mother and baby are both
virally suppressed at this time.
HEPATITIS C
Hepatitis C infection (HCV) is largely attributed to the use of con taminated needles. Chronic HCV
can lead to scarring of the liver, cirrhosis, liver failure and/or liver cancer. Across California the
number of chronic Hepatitis C carriers continues to be unreliable due to variation in reporting
capacities, changes in patient residences, and the high volume of duplicated positive lab tests.
Consequently, Contra Costa’s Acute Communicable Disease (ACD) program reviews only a
fraction of the reports and only follows extremely acute infections and those with a higher
likelihood of yielding opportunities for contact intervention and transmission interruption.
EXPOSURE IMPACT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST RESPONDERS
Occupational exposure to needle stick injuries (Chart 2) for first responders remains low. The
Communicable Disease Control Program is responsible for communicating the source person’s
results with Occupational Health, but they do not advise on treatment or follow up.
Communicable Disease Control remains available for consult as requested and printed materials
are also available on the Syringe Exchange website: https://cchealth.org/hiv/syringe-
exchange.php
There were ten reported exposures in FY 20/21 and twenty in FY 21/22 among law enforcement
and first responders, but none were from needle sticks:

NEEDLE EXCHANGE SERVICES: JANUARY 1, 2021- JUNE 30, 2022
All data below is supplied by Contra Costa’s needle exchange contractor, HIV Education
Prevention Project of Alameda County (HEPPAC). HEPPAC has provided services in Contra
Costa since 2013.
Needle exchange services in the region rely on a combination of county general funds and other
funding secured by the contractor through foundations and other organizations. HEPPAC’s
budget funds portions of several staff salaries, including Community Heal th Promoters, a clerk,
and the Harm Reduction Services Manager. The budget also funds supplies. HEPPAC’s service
delivery and reporting continue to improve.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic: Needle exchange is an essential service, so HEPPAC stayed
open during COVID-19 related lockdowns. Fewer individuals came to the syringe exchange sites
but the drop in the number of individuals served and total number of syringes distributed was
minimal. In the January 2021—June 2022 reporting period, two COVID-19 variants (Delta and
Omicron) affected the number of weekly clients accessing harm reduction services at HEPPAC
needle exchange sites in West and East Contra Costa County. However, with the increase in
vaccination rates across the county, HEPPAC was able to serve more individuals in FYs 20/21
and 21/22 as compared to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Table 1 shows an increase
of 10% in this reporting period from FY 19/20. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic,
HEPPAC had to reconfigure their service delivery process. Before the pandemic, clients would
line up to receive services; clients are now served using a “taco truck” method with one window
to collect used syringes and take the client’s order and another window to give the client their
syringes and other requested paraphernalia.
Clients are asked to wear a mask and maintain social distancing. In FY 19/20, HEPPAC
submitted a Social Distancing Protocol which was reviewed and approved by county staff and
continues to be followed.

In this reporting period, West County residents exchanged a total of 20,884 used needles, which
is higher than the previous two fiscal years. In East County, a similar increase was observed –
East County residents exchanged a total of 152,990 used needles, which was also higher than
the previous two fiscal years. These increases may be due to the easing up of COVID-19
restrictions. The upward trend is also evident when looking at needle exchange rates base d on
race and ethnicity for African Americans. In this reporting period, an average of 711 African
American individuals per fiscal year were served at needle exchange sites as compared to 376 in
FY 19/20.
However, for White clients, the opposite is true. A total of 1,720 White clients were served in FY
19/20 as compared to an average of 1,675 White clients in the two fiscal years included in this
report (see Table 1).
However, for reasons outlined here and later in this report, the number of used needles
exchanged by African American clients (n=18,617) remained much lower than the amount by
White clients (n=208,620). There is a notable difference in exchange behaviors: White clients
report exchanging needles for secondary users at a much higher rate than do African American
clients. In addition, the volume of White clients continues to grow in East County. Overall, the
data reported by HEPPAC shows a continued shift toward increased utilization at the East Contra
Costa site
West County Harm Reduction Services:
In FYs 20/21 and 21/22, HEPPAC reported an increase in the number of clients using harm
reduction services in West Contra Costa County. This increase is due in large part to HEPPAC’s
increased outreach efforts in the region, which included the work of the HEPPAC Community
Health Promoters (CHPs) who scouted new areas throughout Richmond (roving sites) to
increase visibility and identify areas requesting harm reduction services. Despite these efforts,
most of these individuals are still primarily accessing harm reduction supplies other than syringes
(safer smoking supplies, condoms, Narcan, etc.). This is evident in the huge increase in the
number of African American clients, specifically in West County, from FY 19/20 to FYs 20/21 and
21/22 and the low number of needles exchanged by this population. One reported observation
from HEPPAC is that African Americans tend to take other harm reduction supplies (i.e.,
condoms, hygiene/wound care, safer smoking supplies, etc.) instead of sterile needles . Another
reason reported is that the physical site where services were being offered needs to be
reevaluated to serve a higher percentage of African Americans who inject drugs. HEPPAC
reports an increase in smoking as the modality of drug use rather than injecting, and this is
another reason for the increase in African American clientele at harm reduction services. In this
reporting period, HEPPAC also increased its efforts to create more access to Medically Assisted
Treatment (MAT) during Syringe Services Program (SSP) sites in East and West County with
specific focus on increasing visibility in Richmond. The agency received a grant from the Sierra
Health Foundation to increase PWID access to MAT at SSPs. With this funding, HEPPAC can
hire Substance Use Navigators (SUNs) to assist in this effort by setting up Harm Reduction SSPs
at sites that the County does not have the capacity to support.

Needle Exchange Update Report to Family & Human Services Committee

Page 7 of 24
East County Harm Reduction Services:
In East County the situation is different: Bay Point sites yield the highest volume of syringe
exchanges in Contra Costa County. The average client utilizing harm reduction services in East
County continues to be a White male between the ages of 40 -49. As demonstrated in Table 1,
the percentage of clients who identify as White has remained stable over the past three fiscal
years, and that population continues to be most needle exchange clients in the current fiscal year
as well.
New Trends Reported Among PWID:
HEPPAC staff continue to report an increase in the number of countywide participants reporting
use of prescription opioid pills that are crushed and modified for injection. This trend is reflective
of national trends and may be a contributing factor in accidental overdose deaths.
Another reported trend in drug using behavior during this reporting period is that many former
PWID are turning more to smoking as opposed to injecting their new drug of choice: fentanyl. A
study conducted by researchers from California and Washington state, published in 2021 in the
journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, found that many people who use drugs in San Francisco
have been reducing their injection of heroin and other drugs and smoking more fentanyl instead.6
Study participants reported that smoking fentanyl, compared to injecting tar heroin and other
opioids, helped them experience better highs, better health, reduced stigma, and improved
quality of life.
This trend speaks to the importance of continuing to offer safer smoking supplies at syringe
exchange sites to reduce the risk of reuse/sharing and thus transmission of blood borne diseases
such as HIV and Hepatitis C.

In FYs 20/21 and 21/22, HEPPAC continued to provide effective harm reduction services
including syringe exchange and overdose prevention services for East and West C ontra Costa
County residents. These services include collection and disposal of used syringes, distribution of
biohazard containers for disposal and future collection, one-on-one education, and intervention
with clients to promote the use of clean syringes, provide clean syringes and other tools for safer
use focused on PWIDs. In addition, the agency provides overdose prevention kits with Narcan to
those that are at risk of overdose and their peers/family members that may need to administer
the Narcan. Due to the increase in fentanyl in almost all the illicit street drugs, all drug users are
at risk. HEPPAC continues to distribute fentanyl test strips at all sites to prevent overdose deaths
among PWIDs. The permanent sites in East and West Contra Costa Count y are in the middle of
overdose “hot spots” where harm reduction services are most needed.
Referrals to Health and Social Services
Another sign of rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic was seen in the number of referrals
made in FY 20/21 and FY 21/22 as compared to the previous year. HEPPAC reported a marked
increase in health and social services referrals from 2,889 in FY 19/20 to an average of 3,153 per
year in this reporting period. HEPPAC maintains strong linkages to health care providers,
substance use treatment services, collaborative partnerships with other community agencies, and
other resources.
HEPPAC has an established relationship with the Contra Costa Health Care for the Homeless
(HCH) program and provides them with harm reduction materials to distribute to clients,
particularly at the Antioch Fulton Shipyard site.
Syringe Disposal
One important and often overlooked aspect of syringe exchange services programs is the actual
disposal of used (formerly known as “dirty”) needles. HEPPAC’s modified needs-based model
assures that disposal of used needles occurs every week. Agency staff measure the number of
used needles they dispose of after every exchange by the size of the biohazard container they
bring back to incinerate. HEPPAC uses containers that hold increments of 10, 50, 100, 250, 300,
1,200 and 5,000 used syringes. They also provide these containers to clients to take home and
bring back full to exchange. If clients bring used needles in other containers, HEPPAC staff
estimates based on the size compared to the biohazard containers. The collection and disposal
of used needles occurs on a weekly basis and helps ensure that shared community spaces (i.e.,
playgrounds, parks, etc.) are free of used needles that may create a public health risk for county
residents.

Secondary Exchangers
In Contra Costa County, there are individuals who access harm reduction services for
themselves as well as on behalf of others. These individuals are called “secondary exchangers”.
Secondary exchangers report the estimated number of individuals for whom they exchange
syringes, summarized in Chart 4. The overall volume of secondary exchange has decreased over
the past three fiscal years, which could be the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of
secondary exchangers by race and region continues to be the same with White clients in East
County accounting for most secondary exchangers reported. Because secondary exchangers
attend needle exchange more than once in a year their numbers are dupli cated. The number of
clients they exchange for is self-reported.
Chart 4: Secondary Exchanges at Needle Exchange Services
One key group of secondary exchangers with HEPPAC are the volunteers that make up the
Martinez Harm Reduction Collective (MHRC). This is a group made up of Martinez residents that
came together in 2019 to start harm reduction services in Martinez. In this reporting period,
HEPPAC continued to provide technical assistance to MHRC in the form of training and supplies,
including Narcan kits. In return, MHRC submits quarterly client service data to HEPPAC. MHRC
provided weekly harm reduction services to an average of 35 residents per week at the
Waterfront Park in the Martinez marina area.
Challenges and Response
In early May 2022, Health Services Alcohol and Other Drugs Program (AODS) received a formal
complaint from a Martinez resident regarding used syringes/needles on the ground in Waterfront
Park. The AODS Director reached out to the Health Services Public Health HIV Program who has
a contract with HEPPAC for syringe exchange. The HIV Program contacted HEPPAC to clarify
the syringe collection process being utilized by MHRC. HEPPAC confirmed that MHRC
volunteers collect used syringes from clients at their weekly exchange site in Waterfront Park as
well as provide clients with large sharps containers to keep the used needles and transport them
back to the exchange site. In addition, MHRC volunteers reported that they educate every client
to not discard used syringes on the ground and instead direct clients to the closest community
site for disposal, either the sharps containers in the Waterfront Park’s bathrooms or the
Mountainview Sanitation District in Martinez. The HIV Program Manager also spoke with a
Supervisor at Martinez Public Works who confirmed that his staff has been finding and cleaning

up used syringes/needles in the Waterfront Park since he has been working there, almost twenty
years. However, he did report that there has been a higher volume of used syringes in the last
four years and that the sharps containers in the park bathrooms get full and need to be emptied
every two weeks by Public Works as part of their regular maintenance of the park facilities.
While the investigation into the complaint about used needles was ongoing, the Interim Chief of
Police for Martinez asked to meet with Health Services Public Health representatives to discuss
concerns over used syringes/needles on the ground in Waterfront Park. Representatives from
both AODS and Public Health met with the Interim Chief and provided him with data about the
harm reduction services in Waterfront Park. The Interim Chief also inquired about how the
services initially began and raised some questions about legal authority which were referred to
County Counsel.
Dr. Ori Tzvieli, Public Health Director, requested that HEPPAC pause syringe excha nge services
in Martinez Waterfront Park while the Health Department and County Counsel review the legal
questions as well as the contract with HEPPAC. MHRC was told that they can continue providing
referrals, safer sex materials, and Narcan to their clients, but the group decided to pause all
activities until advised otherwise. Clients in need of harm reduction services in Martinez are being
referred to the Richmond or Bay Point sites, where HEPPAC staff can provide them with harm
reduction services. The full impact of this pause on harm reduction activities in Martinez is
unknown at the time of this report.
Future Endeavors
In response to the service disruption in Martinez, Health Services may decide to amend the
contract with HEPPAC to include Central County as a service area for harm reduction services to
be able to identify additional or alternate locations. If this is the case, the Public Health HIV
Program will bring a resolution to a future FHS Committee meeting to describe any financial,
legal, or logistical issues to increase HEPPAC’s capacity to serve Central County clients.

Distribution Model Change
During this reporting period, the model used in Contra Costa for syringe exchange was changed
from a one-to-one model to a modified needs-based model per approval of the Board of
Supervisors. To increase the return rate (the rate of returned used needles compared to new,
sterile needles given out), HEPPAC proposed incentives for clients to bring back used needles.
As a modified version of this model, HEPPAC offers various incentives for clients to bring back
their used needles (i.e., giving them verbal praise, additional bio buckets, and when available, a
$5 voucher for a Subway sandwich). HEPPAC staff report that verbal praise is the most useful
strategy, since they let clients know how important their efforts are in keeping used syringes from
littering shared, public spaces. HEPPAC staff also place a cap on the number of sterile needles
and syringes to be received by each client based on their historical use. For example, if a client
states that they need 25 needles per day and is given 350 needles for a two -week period, but at
their next exchange encounter they report needing two or three times more needles, they will
only receive their usual allotment of 350 needles. This example only applies to individuals
exchanging for themselves and does not apply to secondary exchangers. HEPPAC staff have
demonstrated their ability to get to know their clients and their use habits, as well as documenting
previous exchanges. This information also helps HEPPAC determine the cap for each client.
Given HEPPAC’s rapport with clients and in-depth knowledge of their use, creating and enforcing
a cap has not been problematic for their staff.
In the third quarter of the first fiscal year of this report, HEPPAC began to report the total number
of new, sterile syringes given out and the total number of used syringes collected. According to
the California State Office of AIDS, the average return rate for used syringes statewide is 60%.
Contra Costa County’s HIV Prevention Program negotiated a return rate of 70% for HEPPAC in
Contra Costa. The 70% return rate has been difficult for HEPPAC to achieve in the reporting
period, and HEPPAC reported a return rate of 56%. HEPPAC has shifted focus on utilizing the
incentives described above to get more clients to bring in their used needles. In addition,
HEPPAC has increased the distribution and size of biohazard containers so that clients can bring
back larger amounts of used needles. This is additionally important for clients that come monthly
to the exchange sites since larger sharps containers can keep more used needles from being
discarded in shared community settings.
HEPPAC continues to distribute overdose prevention kits (naloxone) to individuals most likely to
experience or witness opioid overdoses. Before a kit is given, the client receives education on
how to use the kit. In FYs 20/21and 21/22, HEPPAC provided overdose education and
prevention kits to a total of 1,217 clients (equivalent to 2,542 doses of Narcan). This represents a
61% increase from FY 19/20. Late in FY 21/22 there was a national shortage of nasal Narcan
which affected HEPPAC’s ability to distribute Narcan at a high capacity as com pared to previous
quarters. HEPPAC does provide intramuscular Narcan, however, clients prefer to have the nasal
Narcan in the event of an overdose because it is easier and faster to use.
Overall, HEPPAC is performing well and will continue to provide services in both East and West
Contra Costa on a weekly basis. The Public Health program will continue to monitor and respond
to the situation in Waterfront Park and is working diligently to restore harm reduction services in
Martinez.

Admissions to AODS services (Chart 5) in this reporting period were up by 22.6% from FY 18/19.
The increased enrollment is attributed to several factors, including an expansion of methadone
treatment services due to increased admissions for opioid abuse treatment and increased access
due to the Affordable Care Act. Admissions are not necessarily unduplicated individuals – one
person may enter treatment multiple times during the year depending on the availability of
treatment slots.

Of the 5,337 admissions this reporting period (Jan 2021—June 2022), roughly 15.1% identified
injection drug use behavior (Chart 6). The proportion of injection drug users to the overall
population in AODS services has noticeably decreased compared to previous years: FY 16/17
(28%), FY 18/19 (24%), FY 19/20 (16%), FY 21/22 (10.4%).
This trend may be attributed to the changing behaviors and the prevalence of fentanyl as detailed
above.

AODS Program Highlights
During this reporting period, AODS expanded its services network by adding two new Narcotic
Treatment Programs (NTP) to provide Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use
Disorders: BAART Clinic in Concord and Harmonic Solutions in Walnut Creek. The BAART
Concord Clinic and Antioch Clinic also provide HIV/HCV screening for clients as needed, and
clients in need of treatment and other services receive on -site care and warm handoffs to the
HIV/AIDS and STD Program.
Beginning in April 2022, AODS fully integrated substance abuse counselors with the Medical
Team in Detention Facilities to provide SUD treatment in the jail and linkages to SUD treatment
post release. This effort also focuses on continuity of care post release to facilitate re -entry
through recovery support services.
AODS currently has two Nuevos Comienzos (New Beginnings) groups for Spanish speaking
clients in need of lower-level SUD treatment. Nuevos Comienzos is an effort to address health
inequities and the low utilization rate of SUD treatment in the Spanish speak ing population.
AODS is also part of the larger community of harm reduction services in Contra Costa. They
coordinate with the East Bay Harm Reduction coalition by distributing Narcan at needle exchange
sites and engage clients into SUD treatment. AODS provides training and distribution of
Naloxone across all Recovery Residences, also known as Sober Living Environments (SLE).

OTHER PREVENTION ACTIVITIES FOR INJECTION DRUG USE
Opioid Agonist Therapy
As abuse of prescription opioids rises and as more individuals inject drugs like heroin, the risk of
increased blood borne illnesses such as HIV and Hepatitis C also increases. Their investigation
of HIV prevention programs for injection drug users revealed that opioid agonist therapy (OAT)
options, most commonly methadone and buprenorphine maintenance therapies, are the most
cost effective. OAT options can also be highly effective in helping people stop injecting drugs
over time and combining prevention efforts such as needle-syringe exchanges, OAT, Pre-
Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), and prevention and testing with high -risk negatives have higher
rates of success than standalone interventions.78
Contra Costa’s Choosing Change (CHOCH) initiative provides effective treatment for people
who want to stop using opioids such as heroin, prescription painkillers like oxycodone, and
similar drugs. The program provides buprenorphine medication combined with a group visit,
recovery-focused therapy. Highlights from CHOCH during this reporting period include:
• Currently offering 14 clinics associated with 6 health centers throughout Contra Costa County
(see CHOCH Table 2 below)
• Sublocade (long-acting) injectable form of buprenorphine now available weekly at the Miller
Wellness Center in Martinez
• Groups are currently being held via telehealth Zoom, with demonstrated success in engaging
patients through this model of care
• CHOCH referrals can be placed directly by CCHS system providers within ccLink or through the
AODS Access line
• For patients needing more intensive treatment, CHOCH can assist in connecting to inpatient and
outpatient services
• Substance Use Navigators stationed at CCRMC are associated with CHOCH and connect
patients seen in the ED to program services

Alameda & Contra Costa County Integrated HIV Prevention & Care Plan
Contra Costa County HIV/AIDS & STD program staff and Consortium members assisted in the
development of the regional 2017 - 2021 Alameda & Contra Costa County Integrated HIV
Prevention & Care Plan. Although the plan has not yet been
updated for the next five years, it is referenced to evaluate care and prevention efforts in both
counties. Key prevention components of the plan that focus on PWID include:
1. Through a collaboration involving the Oakland Transitional Grant Area (OTGA) Planning
Council, the Contra Costa HIV Consortium, and the two county health departments, develop
an End of AIDS Action Plan for the Oakland TGA that outlines steps to implement a
collaborative, multidisciplinary campaign to end HIV in the two-county region, including
ending new HIV infections, ending HIV-related deaths, and ending HIV related stigma.
2. Continually collect and report data on new HIV diagnoses in the OTGA, including
breakdowns by ethnicity, gender, transmission category, and age.
3. Conduct ongoing needs assessments to identify emerging issues related to HIV infection and
access to HIV education, testing, and other resources.
4. Deliver targeted, sustained, and evidence-based HIV prevention interventions that are
appropriate for high-risk populations.
5. Support the development of expanded, tailored, HIV-related stigma reduction campaigns in
English and Spanish that are aimed at specific, high-risk subpopulations and are developed
in collaboration with consumers; that address stigma related to HIV, homophobia, and HIV
risk behaviors; that incorporate cutting-edge social media approaches; and that contain sex-
positive messages.
6. Utilize targeted social marketing, media, mobilization and condom distribution programs in
English and Spanish to raise and sustain awareness of HIV risk.
7. Ensure widespread, accessible, and well-publicized syringe distribution and syringe
exchange services.
The Integrated HIV Prevention & Care Plan targets the highest risk populations including men
who have sex with other men and injection drug users, for HIV prevention and care services.
Needle exchange remains an integral component of the plan. In Contra Costa County, we
anticipate continuing the use of County General Funds for needle exchange services to support
the downward trend in HIV infections attributed to injection drug use. The current plan can be
found on the Public Health website at http://cchealth.org/aids.
Data-to-Care Programs
Data-to-Care is a public health strategy that aims to use HIV and STD surveillance data to
identify HIV-diagnosed individuals and those at highest risk for HIV not in care, link them to care.
In this reporting period, the HIV/AIDS & STD Program continued to offer two data-to-care
interventions that prioritize high-risk individuals: 1) targeted outreach to individuals who have
been recently diagnosed with an STD, including individuals who are co -infected with HIV and
STDs, and 2) a PrEP Navigation Program for county residents.
PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is the use of anti-retroviral medication to prevent acquisition of
HIV infection. It is used by HIV-negative persons who are at high risk of being exposed to HIV. At
Contra Costa Health Services
Needle Exchange Update Report to Family & Human Services Committee
October 2022
Page 20 of 24
present, there are currently three medications with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
approved indication for PrEP that are either taken as a daily pill or by an injection and are both
highly effective at protecting individuals from HIV. Both indications are approved for both adults
and adolescents ages 12 and over who weigh at least 35 kilograms (77 pounds).
Truvada® and Descovy® for PrEP
At present, there are two medications with an FDA-approved indication for daily use PrEP:
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-emtricitabine, which is available as a fixed-dose combination in a
tablet called Truvada® and emtricitabine & tenofovir alafenamide tenofovir, which is available in a
fixed-dose combination in a tablet called Descovy®. When taken daily, studies have shown that
both Truvada® and Descovy® reduce the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% and by at
least 74% among people who inject drugs.9 Both medications are also commonly used in the
treatment of HIV. The main difference is that Descovy® for PrEP is recommended to prevent HIV
for people at risk through sex, excluding people at risk through receptive vaginal sex.
Descovy® has not yet been studied for HIV prevention for receptive vaginal sex, so it may not be
appropriate for some people.
Injectable PrEP
On December 20, 2021, the FDA approved one injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
medication: cabotegravir (CAB) 600 mg (brand name Apretude®). CAB is a single antiretroviral
drug given as an intramuscular injection every 2 months to prevent HIV. CAB is approved for
cisgender men, transgender women, and cisgender women. CAB injections may be a good
option for PrEP for people who:
• Have problems taking oral PrEP as prescribed.
• Prefer getting a shot every 2 months instead of taking oral PrEP.
• Have serious kidney disease that prevents use of oral PrEP medications.
CAB is FDA approved as an intramuscular injection in the buttocks initiated as a first injection
followed by a second injection 1 month after the first and then continued with an injec tion every 2
months thereafter. A 4-week lead-in period of 30 mg daily oral CAB prior to the first injection is
optional for patients who are worried about side effects.
All forms of PrEP should be considered as part of a comprehensive prevention
plan that includes adherence, risk reduction counseling, HIV prevention education and provision
of condoms and requires follow-up with a provider to assess for HIV and STI testing at regular
intervals
The Line List targeted outreach intervention consists of generating lists that are pulled from State
and County surveillance systems. These line lists are focused on three high - risk populations:
MSMs recently diagnosed with one or more STD, women of color (African American and Latinas)
recently diagnosed with one or more STD, and individuals co-infected with HIV and STD(s).
Trained Disease Intervention Technicians (DITs) call the individuals on the line lists and offer risk
reduction services, partner services, and, in the case of people who do not have HIV, Pre -
Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) navigation services. In this reporting period, DITs provided risk
reduction services to a total of 624 individuals (594 HIV negative and 30 PLHIV).

OPIOID OVERDOSE
Opioids are medications that relieve pain. They reduce the intensity of pain signals reaching the
brain, diminishing the effects of a painful stimulus. Medications that fall within this class include
hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin, Percocet), morphine (e.g., Kadian,
Avinza), codeine, and related drugs. Hydrocodone products are the most prescribed for a variety
of painful conditions, including dental and injury-related pain. Morphine is often used before and
after surgical procedures to alleviate severe pain. Codeine is often prescribed for mild pain. In
addition to their pain-relieving properties, some of these drugs—codeine and diphenoxylate
(Lomotil) for example—can be used to relieve coughs or severe diarrhea.
Heroin is an opioid drug that is synthesized from morphine. In 2020, 902,000 Americans reported
using heroin in the past year, a number that has been on the rise since 2007. The greatest
increase in heroin use has been seen in young adults 18- 25.10

Data from 2011 showed that nearly 80% of Americans using heroin report misusing prescription
opioids first, and it is estimated that about 23% of individuals who use heroin become dependent
on it.11 Prescription opioid pain medications such as Oxycontin and Vicodin can have effects
similar to heroin when taken in doses or in ways other than prescribed, and they are currently
among the most commonly abused drugs in the United States.
The California Department of Health reported 5,502 opioid -related overdose deaths in 2020 and
6,843 in 2021, this marks a steady rise since 2018 when 2,428 were reported.12 In Contra Costa
County, there were 144 opioid deaths in 2020 and 180 in 2021,13 which is a marked increase
from the 84 opioid overdose deaths reported in 2018.14 All regions of the county have
experienced fatal overdoses, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations due to opioid
overdose.
Recognizing the life-saving effects of the opioid-overdose reversal drug naloxone, Senate Bill
(SB) 833 (Chapter 30, Statutes of 2016) established a new Naloxone Grant Program within the
California Department of Public Health (CDPH).15 The goal of the program was to reduce fatal
overdoses by increasing access to naloxone nasal spray called Narcan.
In 2017-2019, the HIV/AIDS and STD Program administered the Naloxone Grant Program by
distributing the county’s 1,642 State-allotted doses to local community agencies with existing
naloxone distribution systems and those working with individuals most likely to experience or
witness opioid overdoses.
After this successful pilot program, the California Department of Health Care Services began
providing free naloxone directly to organizations and entities.

complaints of abandoned medical waste on public property, and implements the Medical Waste
Management Act (Part 14, C. 1-11 of the California Health and Safety Code). The agency web
site maintains a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on syringe and needle disposal, a list of
disposal sites in Contra Costa, several pamphlets describing the proper disposal of syringes and
other medical waste, as well as links to state and other resources. Additional information can be

Contra Costa Health Services
Needle Exchange Update Report to Family & Human Services Committee
October 2022
Page 24 of 24
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Access to new, sterile syringes/needles has made a difference in Contra Costa and
remains an important component of the overall strategy to reduce transmission of blood borne
diseases.
2. Law enforcement exposure to potential blood borne pathogens via needle stick injury has
not increased with the implementation of needle exchange and pharmacy sales. Materials for
Law Enforcement to document potential exposure and request assistance are available on the
website.
3. Needle exchange is a critical component and essential service of Contra Costa’s HIV
prevention strategy and should remain in effect until further notice. Needle exchange is also
the primary strategy that addresses Contra Costa’s opioid epidemic by increasing naloxone
access and linking people to substance use treatment programs.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the Needle Exchange Update report from the Public Health Division of the Health Services Department, as received and approved by
the Family and Human Services Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
BACKGROUND:
The HIV Prevention/Needle Exchange program was referred to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) in October 2002. The issue
was discussed four times during 2003 and was subsequently closed. The referral was then re-opened on January 4, 2005 for annual reporting to
FHS.
At the December 18, 2014 FHS meeting, Referral #61 - HIV Prevention/Needle Exchange Program - was converted to a biennial FHS report
with direction to the department to submit a report directly to the Board of Supervisors in the intervening years. Additionally, in December 14,
2015, FHS received a report on the Program and recognized the incidents of HIV and AIDS had significantly decreased. Therefore, FHS felt
that a biennial report to the Committee was sufficient. The Committee also advised staff to return to FHS at any time should the exposure data
significantly change.
At its October 24, 2022 meeting, the Family and Human Services Committee received and approved the attached report from the Public Health
Division of the Health Services Department and directed staff to forward it to the Board of Supervisors for its information.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The report will not be received.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract, subject to approval by the
County Administrator and approval as to form by County Counsel, with YES Nature to Neighborhoods, a private non-profit corporation, in an
amount not to exceed $150,000, for the non-construction design costs related to the renovation and expansion of permanent office space located
at 3029 MacDonald Avenue in the City of Richmond, for the period of January 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025, as recommended by
Supervisor Gioia.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No General Fund Impact. The $150,000 required for the contract will come from the District I allocation of the deposits into the Livable
Communities Trust (Fund). The current available balance in the District I portion of the Fund is $195,202.07 (this total does not reflect the
proposed $150,000 allocation).
BACKGROUND:
The Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund) is a Special Revenue Mitigation Fund that was established by the Board of Supervisors on
November 15, 2005, following the approval of the Camino Tassajara Combined General Plan Amendment Project, also known as the Alamo
Creek and Intervening Property residential projects, and was required as a condition of approval. The Fund was established to implement the
County's Smart Growth Action Plan. The residential developers pay an $8,000 per unit fee (excluding the affordable housing portions of the
projects) into the Fund. The Department of Conservation and Development administers the Fund.
On December 3, 2013, the Board of Supervisors determined that revenue from the Fund should be spent equally among supervisorial districts.
At complete build-out, deposits to the Fund will total $8,448,000. As of December 16, 2022, the account has collected $8,376,000 in revenue
fees, and $932,753.57 in accrued interest with $4,383,769.93 remaining in uncommitted funds. The approved expenditures to date are attached.
As recommended by Supervisor Gioia, $150,000 is proposed to be awarded to YES Nature to Neighborhoods (YES) organization. YES is a
non-profit organization in the City of Richmond that provides various youth, adult, and family programs with a mission of nurturing leaders, in
partnership with nature, that champion the wellbeing of their community.

Subject:Allocation of Funds from the Livable Communities Trust to YES Nature to Neighborhoods
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Funds will be used for non-construction design costs to renovate and expand YES's permanent office space including the creation of
indoor and outdoor spaces that will serve the needs of the community participants and staff for years to come. The office space has served as
YES's administrative offices and community home base since 2012. Once the renovations are complete, onsite services will include
environmental education, leadership workshops, and advocacy trainings. Other services may include field trip orientation to nearby nature
and wild spaces, registration for YES outings including summer and family camps, graduations, and community partner meetings.
While the total project cost for the renovations will exceed the Fund allocation, the recommended $150,000 will pay for the
non-construction design costs. The total cost of the YES renovation campaign is approximately $3.0 million, of which $1.33 million is
estimated for construction, and $839,000 is estimated for architectural/engineering and related soft costs. As proposed, the architectural
design phase is estimated to be completed in Summer 2023. Building permit and construction documents are estimated to take 6-9 months
leading up to construction beginning Spring 2024. Construction is expected to take up to 9 months with completion late 2024 or early 2025.
The YES Nature to Neighborhoods project supports Smart Growth Action Plan goal number four: To promote economic revitalization in
urban infill communities.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller or designee, to pay $51,508 to Cintas Corporation for janitorial supplies, parts, uniforms,
minor equipment, standard rental products used for cleaning; cubicle and shower curtains; repair and labor for Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers during the period of January 4, 2022 through March 29, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in a one-time expenditure in an amount not to exceed $51,508 and will be funded entirely by Hospital
Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
On January 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved agenda item C.48, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order #15283 with Cintas
Corporation to increase the payment limit by $201,000 to a new payment limit of $400,000 for the purchase of janitorial supplies, minor
equipment, as well as repair and labor for the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period of August 1,2020 through December 31,
2021.
Due to an administrative oversight, during the period of January 4, 2022 through March 29, 2022 the department continued to purchase supplies
and services from this vendor, without having an authorized agreement in place for the purchase of such goods or services. The amount due to
the vendor for the invoices during that period is approximately $51,508. To rectify this administrative oversight moving forward, CCRMC
Environmental Services collaborated with the County Purchasing division to ensure all supplies, rentals, repairs, etc. needed by the unit were
included in a County authorized agreement.
On March 22, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved agenda item C.53 to execute a blanket purchase order (#24764) on behalf of the County
and participating addendum with Cintas Corporation No. 2, in an amount not to exceed $650,000 for facility management products and
solutions, including garment rental and laundry services, fire and safety products, first aid products and janitorial products, during

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the period from March 22, 2022 through October 31, 2023. The agreement falls under the terms of a master contract awarded by the Prince
William County Public School Board, as recommended by the Public Works Director, and includes the supplies, rentals, repairs, etc. needed
by the department. Cintas is an awarded supplier on both the Vizient Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contract portfolio and the
Omnia Partners contract portfolio.
The current agreement does not cover the period of January 4, 2022 through March 29, 2022, and staff have determined that the vendor is
entitled to payment for the reasonable value of the products and services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. The theory
provides that where a vendor has been asked to provide products and services without a valid contract, and the vendor does so to the benefit
of the County, the vendor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those products and services. Since the department cannot pay Cintas
for products and services rendered as they lack the necessary instrument to issue payment, this request is for the Board to authorize the
Auditor--Controller to issue a one-time payment to the vendor in an amount not to exceed $51,508.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved, Cintas Corporation will not be paid for products and services rendered in good faith.

Providing information about the use of Easy Smart Pay Program as an option for homeowners to pay Secured Property Taxes in
monthly installments.
Whereas, California Revenue and Taxation Code 2700-2708 authorize counties to collect property taxes in two installments; and
Whereas, many property owners have the option to pay their property taxes in monthly installments through escrow accounts
with banks owning mortgages on their properties; however, property owners who own their property outright, or do not have
escrow accounts, do not have the option to pay their property taxes to the County in monthly installments. For some, the biannual
tax bill creates financial hardship or considerable inconvenience; and Whereas, under current law, the Contra Costa County
Treasurer-Tax Collector lacks the authority and capability to bill property owners in monthly installments; however, the
corporation Smart Easy Pay, Inc. provides the Easy Smart Pay service to taxpayers on a voluntary basis; and Whereas, Easy
Smart Pay, Inc is a program overseen by the California State Association of Counties Financing Corporation, offers the “Easy
Smart Pay” program to taxpayers on a voluntary basis for a fee comparable to the processing fee that the Tax Collector currently
charges for credit card payments; and Whereas, because this service fulfills an expressed constituent need, the Treasurer-Tax
Collector seeks Board of Supervisors' authorization to provide taxpayers information on the Easy Smart Pay; and Whereas, such
information would be on the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s website, emails or informational flyers at no cost to the County; and
Whereas, such information to the taxpayers would not result in a financial benefit to the County but would satisfy an expressed
constituent need; and
The Board of Supervisor of Contra Costa County hereby approves the Treasurer-Tax Collector to provide information of Easy
Smart Pay service to allow taxpayers the option of paying property tax bills monthly.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/44 to approve and authorize the Treasurer-Tax Collector, or designee, to provide information about the Easy
Smart Pay Program as an option for homeowners to pay Secured Property Taxes in monthly installments.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the County and will not result in an increase in net county cost.
BACKGROUND:
California Revenue and Taxation Code 2700-2708 authorizes counties to collect property taxes in two installments per year. Many property
owners have the option to pay their taxes in monthly installments through escrow services provided by banks owning mortgages. Property
owners who own their property outright, or do not have escrow accounts, do not have the option to pay property taxes to the County in monthly
installments. For some, biannual bills instead of monthly tax bills can be a financial hardship or considerable inconvenience. Many taxpayers
have expressed a desire for a monthly installment option for property tax payments; however, the Treasurer-Tax Collector lacks the authority
and the capability to provide monthly billing under current law.

Subject:ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR EASY SMART PAY OPTION TO PAY SECURED PROPERTY TAXES IN MONTHLY
INSTALLMENTS
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Easy Smart Pay is a product and service of Smart Easy Pay, Inc., a privately held corporation founded in partnership with the California
State Association of Counties (CSAC) Financing Corporation with the aim of filling service gaps between government agencies and the
public regarding property taxes. The Easy Smart Pay service allows individual property owners to voluntarily assign (and also voluntarily
un-assign) their property tax bill amount spread over equal monthly installments for a transaction fee of 1.99%. Any fees in excess of
property taxes due are collected by Easy Smart Pay and not by the County.
For Taxpayers, the process is:
Taxpayers voluntarily enroll with Easy Smart Pay1.
Taxpayers pay monthly installments to Easy Smart Pay2.
When taxes are due, Easy Smart Pay will remit the total property taxes due on behalf of enrolled property
owners to the County, in the same manner used by other banks and financial institutions that interact with
the County’s property tax system
3.
The Easy Smart Pay service is available to taxpayers throughout the State within counties that have approved the program. Because the
service fulfills an expressed constituent need, we seek Board of Supervisors' authorization to provide information of East Smart Pay service
to County property owners where appropriate. This may involve, but not to be limited to, a link on the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s website,
emails and having informational flyers in the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, taxpayers that are having financial difficulty may not pay on time which results in fees and late penalties.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to purchase, on behalf of the Health Services Department, up to 125 Amazon
gift cards each with a $25 value totaling $3,125; 63 Walmart gift cards each with a $25 value totaling $1,575; and 62 Target gift cards each
with a $25 value totaling $1,550; for a total amount not to exceed $6,250 to provide support for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) Medi-Cal
members to participate on the CCHP Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and in focus groups, interviews, surveys, and listening sessions

31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This $6,250 expenditure will be entirely funded by the California Department of Health Care Services funding. There is no impact to the County
General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Beginning with the 2024 contract, DHCS will require all Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans to have a Community Advisory Committee. The CAC’s
function is to gather and incorporate member feedback on CCHP’s policies and decision-making. Members of the CAC must reflect the plan’s
demographics. Since 97% of CCHP’s members are Medi-Cal recipients, CCHP will provide gift cards to help with CAC membership expenses.
The gift cards will be given to eligible CAC members after they attend each meeting.

Subject:Gift cards for Contra Costa Health Plan Community Advisory Committee Members
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
As part of CCHP’s operational readiness activities for the 2024 contract, CCHP is currently forming its CAC and will provide gift cards to
eligible CAC members for meeting attendance, participating in focus groups, interviews, surveys, and listening sessions as applicable.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these purchases are not approved, CCHP will not be able to effectively recruit and retain CAC members in order to fulfill its contractual
obligation to DHCS to form a CAC and ensure that CAC members can effectively participate in CAC meetings. This will put CCHP at risk of
audit findings by DHCS.

Governor Newsom to End the COVID-19 State of
Emergency
Published: Oct 17, 2022
Californiaʼs pandemic response saved tens of thousands of lives, protected the economy,
distributed nation-leading financial assistance and built up an unprecedented public health
infrastructure
The SMARTER Plan will maintain Californiaʼs operational preparedness to support
communities and quickly respond to outbreaks
SACRAMENTO – Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the COVID-19 State of
Emergency will end on February 28, 2023, charting the path to phasing out one of the most
e ective and necessar y tools that California has used to combat COVID-19. This timeline gives
the health care system needed flexibility to handle any potential surge that may occur a er
the holidays in January and Februar y, in addition to providing state and local partners the
time needed to prepare for this phaseout and set themselves up for success a erwards.
With hospitalizations and deaths dramatically reduced due to the stateʼs vaccination and
public health e orts, California has the tools needed to continue fighting COVID-19 when the
State of Emergency terminates at the end of Februar y, including vaccines and boosters,
testing, treatments and other mitigation measures like masking and indoor ventilation. As the
State of Emergency is phased out, the SMARTER Plan continues to guide Californiaʼs strategy
to best protect people from COVID-19.
SMARTER Plan progress update
“Throughout the pandemic, weʼve been guided by the science and data – moving quickly and
strategically to save lives. The State of Emergency was an e ective and necessary tool that we
utilized to protect our state, and we wouldnʼt have gotten to this point without it,” said
Governor Newsom. “With the operational preparedness that weʼve built up and the measures
that weʼll continue to employ moving for ward, California is ready to phase out this tool.”
To maintain Californiaʼs COVID-19 laboratory testing and therapeutics treatment capacity, the
Newsom Administration will be seeking two statutor y changes immediately upon the
Legislatureʼs return: 1) The continued ability of nurses to dispense COVID-19 therapeutics; and
2) The continued ability of laboratory workers to solely process COVID-19 tests.
“Californiaʼs response to the COVID-19 pandemic has prepared us for whatever comes next. A s
we move into this next phase, the infrastructure and processes weʼve invested in and built up
will provide us the tools to manage any ups and downs in the future,” said Secretar y of the
California Health & Human Services Agency, Dr. Mark Ghaly. “While the threat of this virus is
still real, our preparedness and collective work have helped turn this once crisis emergency
into a manageable situation.”
Throughout the pandemic, Governor Newsom, the Legislature and state agencies have been
guided by the science and data to best protect Californians and save lives – with a focus on
those facing the greatest social and health inequities – remaining nimble to adapt mitigation
e orts along the way as we learned more about COVID-19. The stateʼs e orts to support
Californians resulted in:
Administration of 81 million vaccinations, distribution of a billion units of PPE throughout
the state and processing of 186 million tests.
Allocation of billions of dollars to support hospitals, community organizations, frontline
workers, schools and more throughout the pandemic.
The nationʼs largest stimulus programs to support people hardest hit by the pandemic –
$18.5 billion for direct payments to Californians, $8 billion for rent relief, $10 billion for small
business grants and tax relief, $2.8 billion to help with overdue utility bills, and more.
Californiaʼs pandemic response e orts have saved tens of thousands of lives, kept people out
of the hospital and protected the economy:
Californiaʼs death rate is the lowest amongst large states. If California had Texasʼ death rate,
27,000 more people would have died here. If California had Floridaʼs rate, that figure jumps
to approximately 56,000 more deaths.
In only the first ten months of vaccines being available, a study showed that Californiaʼs
e orts saved 20,000 lives, kept 73,000 people out of the hospital and prevented 1.5 million
infections.
Californiaʼs actions during the pandemic protected the economy and the state continues to
lead the nation in creating jobs and new business starts:
“ʻLockdownʼ states like California did better economically than ʻlooserʼ states like Florida,
new COVID data shows,” with Californiaʼs economy having contracted less than such
states – economic output shrank 3.5% on average for the U.S., compared with 2.8% for
California.
Since Februar y 2021, California has created 1,628,300 new jobs – over 16% of the
nationʼs jobs, by far more than any other state. By comparison, Texas created 1,133,200
jobs (11.3% of the nationʼs) and Florida created 787,600 jobs (7.9% of the nationʼs) in that
same timeframe.
Since the beginning of 2019, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that over
569,000 businesses started in California, by far more than any other state.
###
RECOMMENDATION(S):
TERMINATE, effective February 28, 2023, the local emergency throughout Contra Costa County proclaimed by the Board of Supervisors on
March 10, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, consistent with the end of the statewide state of emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. The local emergency was declared to recognize the impact of COVID-19 on Contra Costa County, provide flexibility to the
County in its response efforts and to maintain eligibility for the County, and its cities, to pursue disaster relief funds to help cover costs related
to the emergency response. In October 2022, Governor Newsom announced that the State's COVID-19 state of emergency would be terminated
as of February 28, 2023. This action would ensure that Contra Costa County continues to maintain alignment with the State of California on its
COVID-19 emergency response posture.

By: Antonia Welty, Deputy
cc:
C.115
To:Board of Supervisors
From:Monica Nino, County Administrator
Date:February 7, 2023
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:TERMINATION OF LOCAL COVID-19 EMERGENCY DECLARATION
BACKGROUND:
On Tuesday, March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors declared a countywide emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and
subsequently requested that Governor Newsom include the County in the State's emergency declaration. (D. 3) Later that week, on Friday,
March 13, 2020, President Trump declared a nationwide emergency in response to the growing COVID-19 pandemic pursuant to Sec.
501(b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (the “Stafford Act”). That action
provided access to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance program, which allows for a 75% federal cost
share on certain emergency protective measures taken at the direction or guidance of public health officials in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Later, the 75% federal cost share was increased to 100% for eligible costs through June 30, 2022.Qualifying expenditures are
those that are not supported by the authorities of another federal agency (i.e. reimbursement for response activities funded by another
federal agency grant program). Examples of reimbursable activities include the activation of Emergency Operations Centers, National
Guard costs, law enforcement and other measures necessary to protect public health and safety.
The Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) facilitated the collection of FEMA Requests for Public Assistance (RPA) from
agencies (public and private) impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. CalOES advised that RPA documents, which do not include a specific
dollar amount of public assistance being requested, be filed no later than April 17, 2020. Filing of this document allows agencies, including
the County, to be on record stating that costs have been incurred as part of the response effort and allows for a request to FEMA that a
portion of those costs be reimbursed in the future. In addition, CalOES requested that impacted agencies adopt required Project Assurances
for federal Assistance and a resolution designating agents that can act on behalf of the impacted agency.
On March 31, 2020, the Board of Supervisors took action to adopt Resolution No. 2020/112 authorizing the County Administrator to
submit the RPA documents discussed above to CalOES to ensure the opportunity for Federal cost reimbursement. The County subsequently
filed its RPA with FEMA, which was approved on April 17, 2020 and serves as the basis for the County's FEMA reimbursement eligibility.
State Disaster Request and Presidential Authorization
Following the President's action, Governor Newsom requested that the federal government declare a major disaster in California due to
COVID-19. The President approved the State's request on Sunday, March 22, 2020, which activated additional federal resources directed to
assist California, including deployment of mobile hospital units and a U.S. Navy hospital ship, among other things. Contra Costa County
was a recipient of federal and state resources over the course of the pandemic, including mobile field hospital equipment, and took delivery
of those resources at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, which served as a 250-bed alternate care site supporting the capacity of the
County's hospital and clinic system. In addition, the state has provided for several COVID-19 testing centers strategically placed
throughout the County.
County Reopening and Restoration of Procurement Policies
On June 14, 2021, the County Administrator released reopening guidance for County departments following the Governor's termination of
the “Stay At Home” order and retiring of the "Blueprint for a Safer Economy" both effective on June 15, 2021. This was to maintain
continued County alignment with the State's COVID-19 response efforts. Specifically, department heads were provided guidance on face
covering/workplace safety policies, emergency procurement procedures and restoration of employee travel. Most notably at the time,
departments were directed to reopen lobbies of County facilities to the public.
In addition, the County Administrator authorized a two-phase restoration of pre-COVID procurement policies and procedures in recognition
of ramp up time required to transition from an emergency procurement posture back to normal operations. Ultimately, full restoration of
pre-COVID purchasing policies and procedures were effective October 31, 2021.
Announcement of Governor's Termination of COVID-19
Emergency Declaration
On October 17, 2022, Governor Newsom announced that California's COVID-19 state of emergency would end on February 28, 2023. In
a press release announcing the termination, the Governor's office stated that the lead time..."give(s) the health care system needed
flexibility to handle any potential surge that may occur after the holidays in January and February, in addition to
providing state and local partners the time needed to prepare for this phaseout and set themselves up for success
afterwards." The termination of the state of emergency does not mean that the State will discontinue assistance to the County on its cost
recovery claims by CalOES for the period covered during the state of emergency. It is anticipated that the recovery process, as in most
disasters, will continue for several years following conclusion of the state of emergency.
Today's action requests that the Board of Supervisors terminate the local, County COVID-19 emergency declaration, consistent with
termination with the statewide emergency declaration. The County Administrator's Office and the Health Services Department will continue
to provide the Board with updates on the cost recovery and COVID-19 response transition process going forward.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County's COVID-19 emergency declaration would remain in place even after the termination of the State of California's COVID-19
emergency declaration.
