INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE 5.
Meeting Date:10/07/2019
Subject:Shared Mobility Device Ordinance
Submitted For: TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE
COMMITTEE,
Department:Conservation & Development
Referral No.: 22
Referral Name: Monitor issues related to docked and dockless bike share programs.
Presenter: Robert Sarmiento, DCD Contact: Robert Sarmiento
(925)674-7822
Referral History:
In late 2017, several bikeshare companies launched dockless* operations throughout the United
States. In early 2018, the Shadelands business center, located in Walnut Creek, initiated a pilot
program with a dockless bikeshare vendor (LimeBike). Shortly thereafter, Limebike bicycles
began appearing at the Contra Costa Centre and on the Iron Horse Trail. Unlike Walnut Creek
and other cities in Contra Costa County that entered into agreements with LimeBike, Contra
Costa County was not approached by the company prior to operations in the unincorporated area.
In March 2018, TWIC received a report of abandoned and haphazardly parked bicycles at the
Contra Costa Centre and directed staff to develop dockless bikeshare policies and agreements.
Staff was further directed to consult with dockless bikeshare companies in order to ensure we
would not unnecessarily stifle entrepreneurship and innovation. In July 2018, TWIC received an
update on staff's efforts to develop dockless bikeshare policies and agreements and directed staff
to develop an ordinance that regulates dockless bikeshare and other shared mobility devices and
bring it before the Board of Supervisors for consideration.
This issue is rapidly changing, LimeBike is now doing business as “Lime”, no longer operates in
Contra Costa and is primarily engaged in scooter share operations among other last mile solutions.
* There are two predominant types of bike share systems, docked and dockless. As the names
imply, docked bikes need to be both rented and returned to specific docking stations. Dockless
bike are rented and tracked via GPS and wireless technology and can be rented and left at
virtually any location.
Referral Update:
Staff from the Department of Conservation and Development, Public Works Department, and
10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.10 of 47
Staff from the Department of Conservation and Development, Public Works Department, and
County Counsel have developed a draft ordinance (Exhibit A) that regulates shared mobility
device (“device”) operations, including those currently prevalent in use (e.g. bicycles and
scooters) and those that may emerge in the future. During development of the ordinance, staff
reached out to a number of device operators (“vendors”) and Contra Costa Centre property
management staff for their input. Prior to bringing it before the Board of Supervisors for
consideration, staff is presenting the draft ordinance to TWIC for its review.
Summary of the Draft Ordinance
General Requirements
A dockless device may not be placed or parked in the public right-of-way unless an
encroachment permit has been issued. Docked devices and docking stations are prohibited within
the right-of-way.
Term
An encroachment permit to park devices in the public right-of-way will be issued for a one-year
term. It may be renewed for successive one-year terms.**
Parking Requirements
A device must be parked only at a location(s) designated in the encroachment permit. It must be
parked in the upright position. A device may not obstruct a sidewalk, a travel lane, or on-street
parking area of a public road or highway. It must be parked a minimum of 10 feet away from
features located in the right-of-way (e.g. fire hydrant, disabled parking zone, curb ramp, transit
stop, driveway).***
Maintenance and Operational Requirements
A device must comply with the applicable requirements of the California Vehicle Code and all
applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. It must include both self-locking
technology and a GPS-based tracking system. The device must have affixed to it a label that
identifies the vendor and the vendor's 24-hour customer service telephone number.
Retrieval and Communications
The vendor must maintain a 24-hour toll-free customer service telephone number. The vendor
must provide a retrieval plan, which includes the names and telephone numbers of people
responsible for relocating, removing, retrieving, and rebalancing the device fleet, to the County
prior to issuance of the encroachment permit.
Impoundment
The County may impound the devices if the vendor fails to relocate, remove, retrieve, or
rebalance them consistent with the vendor’s retrieval plan. The vendor must reimburse the County
for costs incurred for impounding and storing devices. If a device is not retrieved within 30 days
after impoundment, the County may revoke the vendor’s encroachment permit.
Insurance and Indemnity
Consistent with other encroachment permits, the vendor must maintain certain policies of
insurance that name the County as an additional insured.The insurance required by the ordinance
includes general liability insurance with a policy limit of at least $2,000,000.The vendor also
must indemnify the County against liabilities that arise from the activities covered by the permit.
Security
An applicant for an encroachment permit to operate devices in the right-of-way must provide a
security in an amount to be determined by the Public Works Director (no less than $1,000) to
10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.11 of 47
cover County costs to remove all devices authorized under a permit and restore the right-of-way
to its former condition.
Data Sharing
The vendor must satisfy all data-sharing requirements. The data type**** to be submitted by the
vendor will be approved by the Board of Supervisors concurrently with the draft ordinance.
** In its guidelines on shared mobility device operations, National Association of City
Transportation Officials (NACTO) recommends limiting the duration of vendor operations to a
fixed time period and requiring vendors to re-apply for each renewal. This would allow
jurisdictions to evaluate vendor operations and performance and refine operational requirements.
*** In its guidance document on bikeshare regulation, the North American Bikeshare Association
(NABSA) suggests that jurisdictions consider specific bikeshare parking regulations near features
located in the right-of-way.
**** County staff is currently researching other jurisdictions’ data sharing requirements as a
possible model for the County’s data sharing requirements.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECEIVE update on the draft shared mobility device ordinance and DIRECT staff to bring the
matter to the Board of Supervisors for consideration.

Supervisor John Gioia, District 1
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
11780 San Pablo Avenue, Suite D
El Cerrito, CA 94530
Re: Pipeline Safety Recommendations
Dear Supervisor Gioia:
I am writing on behalf of the Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Commission to
recommend the Board of Supervisors take following actions to promote pipeline safety in
Contra Costa County. These recommendations were voted on at the May 23, 2019 Commission
meeting after careful review and deliberation of recommendations in a 2018 report by the
Pipeline Safety Trust on pipeline safety in Contra Costa County. All recommendations were
approved by a vote of 10 – 0 with the exception of recommendation number 4, which was
opposed by the representative of the Industrial Association, Mark Hughes. This report was done
on behalf of the Alamo Improvement Association as part of a grant they received from the
Federal Department of Transportation. This report focused on gas pipeline safety issues, and
was done as a follow‐up to a previous report in 2015 that focused on liquid pipeline safety
issues.
1) Recommend to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
that they include enforcement actions against operators by state pipeline safety
regulators and the U.S Department of Justice on their webpage.
The PHMSA web page currently only includes PHMSA pipeline safety enforcement actions
which doesn’t give a full and transparent understanding of the enforcement status of an
operator. For example, the enforcement status for PGE on the PHMSA website shows no
federal enforcement actions since 2006. This does not include the fact that PGE was convicted
10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.24 of 47
of federal felony criminal violations by the Department of Justice for the 2010 San Bruno
incident.
2) Recommend to PHMSA, the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the California Public
Utilities Commission that they make information about a pipeline’s High Consequence
Area (HCA) designation easily available to the public.
Hazardous Liquid pipelines that could affect HCAs, which include high population areas, certain
drinking water sources, or some ecologically sensitive areas, must prepare integrity
management plans and adhere to stricter assessment rules than pipelines that could not affect
an HCA in the event of a failure. Information about which pipeline segments are, and are not,
within HCAs is not easily available to the public.
3) Support federal legislation that improves leak detection systems in pipelines.
PHMSA has been working on a rule‐making process for seven years to address the findings of a
2013 study on the technical limitations of current leak detection systems, but no new or
proposed rules have been release for public review.
4) Support federal legislation that requires pipeline operators to contract for an
independent technical seismic vulnerability study on HCA pipelines affected by
potentially active faults to feed into the pipeline risk analysis, and make the study
available to the public.
The Alamo Improvement Association contracted with a private engineering firm to conduct
seismic review report of the pipelines in the Alamo area which yielded recommendations about
how to address current potential vulnerabilities.
5) Recommend to the California Department of Education that they complete their review
of school siting and design standards review that was begun in 2016 and that they
implement the recommendations the Commission made previously.
In January, 2018 the Commission recommended the Board of Supervisors recommend to the
California Department of Education that they amend the regulations pertaining to the rebuilding of
schools on the site of existing schools to require that the current risks from accidental explosions and
fire of hazardous materials used, stored, manufactured or transported at industrial facilities, in pipelines
and by rail be assessed and mitigated. The review begun in 2016 has stalled out, and there is no current
effort underway to complete the review.
10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.25 of 47
6) Recommend to the California Department of Education, local community colleges, and local
School Districts that they use the enclosed brochure or other, similar brochure to encourage
schools to address pipeline incidents in their emergency response plans, and encourage existing
schools to mitigate the risks from nearby pipelines utilizing the state guidelines that have been
developed for siting new schools.
The County Hazardous Materials Program and Public Works Department, the Contra Costa CAER group,
the Contra Costa County Fire District and the San Ramon Valley Fire District developed the enclosed
brochure to be used by schools, daycare centers, Senior Centers, medical facilities and other “Sensitive
Receptors” to educate them about pipeline safety issues and the need to address potential pipeline
incidents in their Emergency Response Plans.
7) Recommend to pipeline operators that they reach out to the schools along their pipeline
easements and offer to provide technical assistance assessing pipeline risks and evacuation
strategies. Offer to provide them the County brochure on pipeline safety and emergency
planning if they don’t already have appropriate educational materials.
The County Hazardous Materials Program and Public Works Department, the Contra Costa CAER group,
the Contra Costa County Fire District and the San Ramon Valley Fire District developed the enclosed
brochure to be used by schools, daycare centers, Senior Centers, medical facilities and other “Sensitive
Receptors” to educate them about pipeline safety issues and the need to address potential pipeline
incidents in their Emergency Response Plans.
Sincerely,
George Smith

Subject:RECEIVE information regarding Federal Railway Administration
Pedestrian Trespassing Safety Summit.
Submitted For: TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE
COMMITTEE,
Department:Conservation & Development
Referral No.: 15
Referral Name: Safety of freight trains, rail corridors…
Presenter: John Cunningham, DCD Contact: Colin Piethe
(925)674-7755
Referral History:
This is a new issue being brought to TWIC.
Referral Update:
On 6/11/2019, The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sent a letter to each of the County
Supervisors regarding their 2017 study of trespass-related pedestrian fatalities on railways. The
letter noted that trespass-related pedestrian fatalities have increased by 18% in recent years; from
725 in 2012 to 855 in 2017. The FRA also found that 6 of the 10 Counties with the highest
number of collisions are located in California, including Contra Costa County, which has seen 55
fatalities during that five year time period.
In response to this increase in fatalities, the FRA developed the National Strategy for Trespass on
Railroad Property in December 2018. One of the strategies identified in the plan is to partner with
local jurisdictions and stakeholders. The FRA has begun to organize regional Railroad
Trespassing Summits across the Nation to raise awareness and drive resources towards this
pressing safety issue. The FRA has requested the assistance of Contra Costa and Alameda
Counties in planning a summit in the East Bay area in May 2020.
On a project introduction phone call on 7/10/2019, FRA staff explained to Department of
Conservation and Development (DCD) and Public Works (DPW) staff that they are organizing
three summits in California; one in Northern, Central, and Southern California. FRA staff
requested assistance from Alameda and Contra Costa staff with several tasks: 1. Contacting the
County’s local jurisdictions to request that their elected officials and relevant staff to participate
in the summit, 2. Identifying a venue for hosting the summit, and 3. Assisting with marketing and
communications to spread the word about the summit.
10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.33 of 47
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
Staff from Alameda and Contra Costa have been working together to identify a suitable location.
Other next steps involve ongoing coordination with FRA contacts and identifying appropriate
County staff to attend the summit, including the Supervisors, council members, mayors,
transportation planners, engineers, staff specializing in homeless issues, and communications
staff. Staff will also develop a plan for engaging local jurisdictions throughout the County to
request that they attend the summit.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
Unknown. County staff has requested that FRA identify/provide funding sources to cover staff
time and resources.

2018 Year in Review
The East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy
continued to implement the East Contra Costa
County HCP/NCCP. In 2018, streamlined permitting
through the ECCC HCP/NCCP provided permit
coverage for 28 economic development,
infrastructure, and habitat restoration projects. The
Conservancy, together with East Bay Regional Park
District, acquired two properties totaling 300 acres of
biologically‐rich habitat for the ECCC HCP/NCCP’s
growing Preserve System. The Conservancy continues
to keep conservation ahead of permitted impacts. In
2018, one new restoration project was constructed —
the Horse Valley Restoration Project.

The ECCC HCP/NCCP gives local cities and agencies control over state and federal endangered species permitting in their
jurisdiction. In 2018, 28 projects received take coverage under the Plan, including 11 urban development projects, 2 rural
infrastructure projects, 12 rural operations and maintenance projects, and 3 Preserve System activities. These projects total
approximately 173 acres of permanent impacts and 100 acres of temporary impacts on terrestrial land cover types; 0.34 acres of
permanent impacts and 0.72 acres of temporary impacts on aquatic habitats; and 158 linear feet of permanent impacts and
1,417 linear feet of temporary impacts on streams.
The ECCC HCP/NCCP was designed to enable permit streamlining to extend beyond endangered species regulations and include
regional permitting under state and federal laws for impacts on jurisdictional wetlands and waters. On May 4, 2012, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers issued Regional General Permit 1 (RGP) aligned with the ECCC HCP/NCCP. This Permit was reissued on
April 12, 2017 and has a five‐year duration. The RGP streamlines wetland permitting in the entire Plan Area by aligning the
avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures in the Plan with the Corps’ wetland permitting requirements. To date, 17
covered projects and 2 Conservancy restoration projects have benefitted from coordinated permitting under the RGP.
Permitting Program Highlights:
Kirker Pass Road Northbound Truck Climbing Lane: The Contra Costa County Public Works Department, in cooperation
with the California Department of Transportation District 4, received coverage under the HCP/NCCP for this project.
Kirker Pass Road is frequently used by commuters and has heavy truck traffic. With sustained grades steeper than 8%,
trucks are unable to match the speed of other vehicles on the roadway, causing significant congestion and creating a
safety hazard. The project will improve safety for motorists and bicyclists along this stretch of the road. Project
elements include roadway widening for the truck climbing lane, paved shoulders for future Class II bike lanes, relocation
of drainage features, retaining wall construction, installation of signage and striping, construction of two bioretention
areas, and relocation of other existing roadside features.
Sciortino Ranch Development Project: The City of Brentwood permitted the Sciortino Ranch Development project
which included the development of a 52+/‐ acre property into a master planned residential community. The proposed
project includes 326 single‐family residential houses, 11 non‐residential parcels dedicated for landscaping, park, and
stormwater treatment use, and the infrastructure improvements necessary to support the development of the project.
The Conservancy continues to work closely
with the East Bay Regional Park District
(EBRPD) and Save Mount Diablo on land
acquisition opportunities, management of
Preserve System lands, and habitat
restoration projects. The EBRPD has been
the Conservancy’s primary partner in
Preserve System acquisitions in the Plan
implementation. These acquisitions total
300 acres of newly protected land in 2018.
The Conservancy’s other partners include
State and Federal regulatory and funding
agencies, as well as members of the
development community, conservation
advocates, agricultural representatives and
members of the public. The Conservancy
will continue to build on these partnerships
and expand on collaborative conservation
projects and efforts in the HCP/NCCP Plan
Area.

BY THE NUMBERS
10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.39 of 47
The Plan requires stream, wetland and pond restoration and creation to compensate for impacts to these habitat types. The
Conservancy has aggressively pursued wetland and pond restoration requirements. To date, eleven restoration projects have
been constructed. These restoration projects provide a range of benefits to covered species.
Conservancy projects are monitored and managed to ensure that they achieve habitat goals. This intensive monitoring and
management continues for a minimum of five years. Close
monitoring of restoration sites has informed management
actions including: reseeding areas, adjusting grazing
patterns, and aggressively combating invasive weeds.
One new restoration project was constructed in 2018 —
The Horse Valley Creek and Wetland Restoration Project.
The project is located in Horse Valley on the Roddy Ranch
property. The project created 37 seasonal wetland basins,
totaling over 2 acres of new wetland habitat. These pools
were designed to provide habitat for vernal pool listed
invertebrates and plants, and includes a larger pond along
the restored channel intended to provide suitable breeding
habitat for California red‐legged frog. The project also
included filling of 2,420 linear feet of disturbed,
straightened channel and establishment of 4,150 linear
feet of restored channel for a net gain of 585 linear feet of
creek.
Highlights of achievements:
Over 1/3 of the Preserve System has been assembled by year 11 of Plan implementation.
Acquisition of the Roddy Ranch Golf Course adds 230 more preserved acres to the protected Roddy Ranch and Roddy
Home Ranch properties, bringing the Roddy Ranch acquisitions to 2,132 acres. The Roddy Ranch Golf Course will offer
restoration opportunities for the Conservancy.
The Poppi/Halstead property also adds to the protection of important habitat and habitat connectivity in Briones Valley.
Horse Valley Creek and Wetland RestoraƟon Project, March 2019
The Conservancy funds land acquisition from
willing sellers to assemble the Preserve System.
The Conservancy has made significant progress
toward acquisition goals during the first eleven
years of Plan implementation. In 2018, two
properties were acquired, adding 299.5 acres of
land to the Preserve System. All but one acquisition
to date, totaling 14,106 acres, have been
completed in partnership with EBRPD, where
EBRPD owns and manages those Preserve System
lands. The Viera North Peak property, acquired in
2017 from Save Mount Diablo, is owned by the
Conservancy with the anticipation of transferring
the property to California State Parks. The
Conservancy continues to stay ahead of the
average pace necessary to assemble the 30,300‐
acre Preserve System estimated to be required by
Year 30 of the Plan (2037).

The Conservancy receives revenue from the following primary sources: mitigation and permitting fees (development ,
wetland, and temporary impact fees, administrative/staff time fees, and contributions to recovery payments) and grants.
These sources fund Preserve System acquisitions, management, monitoring, and restoration projects.
Revenue in 2018 Amount
Mitigation Fees 1 $2,318,634
Grants and CTR 2 $3,224,934
Other 3 $350,396
Total $6,342,800
Local Funds 4 $448,836
For streamlined permitting to continue under the
HCP/NCCP, conservation must stay ahead of impacts.
The HCP/NCCP specifies detailed metrics that the
Conservancy uses to track progress of Plan
implementation.
The summarized data displayed (left) illustrates all
categories of conservation are ahead of the impacts
to these habitat types.
A more detailed accounting of conservation,
restoration, creation, and impacts is provided in the
2018 Annual Report.
1 Development fees, wetland fees, and temporary impact fees.
2 These are grants from various state and federal agencies including CDFW, USFWS,
and WCB. The amount shown includes grant funds spent (not grants awarded).
“CTR” are Contributions to Recovery, and includes temporary impact fees.
3 Other includes staff time/administrative fees, interest, and miscellaneous.

Appendix 1: Oversight Committee Structure
Draft Contra Costa Accessible Transportation Strategic Plan Oversight Structure
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is conducting the Accessible Transportation
Strategic (ATS) Plan to ensure that transportation services to seniors and persons with disabilities
are being delivered in a coordinated manner. Due to the complexity of the issue, the number and
diversity of the stakeholders, and local multijurisdictional collaboration protocols, this oversight
structure is correspondingly robust.
The ATS Plan will be guided by three separate Advisory Committees with each having differing
areas of focus, Policy, Technical, and Rider. Specific responsibilities of each Committee will be
defined with the assistance of the consultant and study partners once the process is initiated.
Committee meetings will be formally noticed and open to the public. Committee members will be
encouraged to attend all the meetings to promote the sharing of ideas and concerns between the
different Committees.
Policy Advisory Committee1
Structure Notes: Planning processes in Contra Costa are typically overseen by the Regional
Transportation Planning Committees (RTPCs)2. This process deviates from that process with the
transit operators given seats on the PAC (rather than RTPC representation). This is due to the
significant role the transit operators play in this service area. RTPC input will be solicited through
presentations at the subcommittees, discussion at the CCTA Board (which is comprised of RTPC
representatives) and staff participation on the Technical Advisory Committee. City and other sub‐
regional operators will be asked to coordinate representation through the RTPCs.
Role: Study oversight, gathering information on the subject matter, liaison responsibilities to
transit districts, RTPCs, full CCTA Board, and the Board of Supervisors.

1 Individuals can only be members of a single committee, there will be no duplication in membership for the PAC,
TAC, and RAC.
2 CCTA is advised by three separate RTPC subcommittees representing different regions of the County. The RTPCs
consist of SWAT (Southwest), TRANSPAC (Central), TRANSPLAN (East), and WCCTAC (West).
3 BART and AC Transit ADA paratransit obligations are both fulfilled by East Bay Paratransit.
4 Membership in this seat is not strictly dependent on geography or affiliation with a local agency or organization. A
recruitment and/or nomination process is being developed. Ultimately, CCTA will consider the nominations and make
the appointments. Initial thoughts in terms of skill set and background include individuals from the private sector,
academia, or advocacy/non-profit community with expertise or familiarity with the topic and can participate and
contribute with an open mind and no explicit agenda or bias.
