MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 4, 2019
TO: Finance Committee
Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, Chair
Supervisor John Gioia, Vice Chair
FROM: Gabriel Lemus, CDBG Program Manager
By: Kristin Sherk, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Draft 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan Priorities
RECOMMENDATIONS
1.APPROVE recommendations for the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan priorities as
recommended by staff or amended by the Committee.
2.DIRECT the Department of Conservation and Development to prepare a staff report
on the Committee’s recommendations. The staff report will be submitted and
considered by the Board of Supervisors on November 19, 2019 as a “Consent” item.
BACKGROUND
2020-2025 Consolidated Plan Priorities: The Contra Costa County Consortium, a partnership of
four cities (Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek) and Contra Costa County, receives
funds each year from the federal government for housing and community development
activities1. To receive federal funds, the Consortium must submit a strategic plan – the
1 The Federal Programs are the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the HOME Investment
Partnerships Act (HOME) Program, the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program; and the Housing Opportunities
for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program.
2
Consolidated Plan – every five years to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) that identifies local needs and how these needs will be addressed. The
Consolidated Plan must also demonstrate how the Consortium will meet national goals set by
the U.S. Congress to develop viable communities by provid ing decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of extremely-low, very-low,
and low income.
The preparation of the FY 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan began with holding three public
community meetings and two service provider (housing and non-housing) group meetings
during the months of March through June 2019. Individuals and representatives of various
public agencies, community organizations, and service providers throughout the County were
invited to attend these meetings. These meetings covered various topics, including but not
limited to:
• Affordable housing;
Persons with disabilities;
• Single parents/female-headed households;
• Homelessness;
• Economic Development (business assistance and job creation/retention);
• Seniors; and
• Youth and Families
The Consortium also solicited input from community organizations, public agencies, and the
general public through an on-line survey that was accessible beginning in the month of March
through the end of July 2019. A hard copy of the survey is attached (Attachment A).
Consortium staff and a housing data consultant compiled and analyzed the survey data to come
to the following observations:
1. Services to homeless populations or to those at imminent risk of homelessness ranked
high as a priority for continued CDBG support.
2. Affordable Housing activities are also a high priority. Of the eligible activities for
affordable housing, the following were the highest ranking; 1) housing for “Special
Needs Populations” (especially seniors/elderly), 2) preservation of existing affordable
housing, 3) rehabilitation assistance to existing housing, and 4) emergency repairs for
low-income homeowners.
3. Job Development/Creation and Pollution/Property Cleanup ranked the highest of the
Economic Development services.
4. General Infrastructure and Public Facilities Improvements are also a priority with the
following rankings; 1) improvements and/or construction of streets and sidewalks, 2)
senior centers, 3) youth/neighborhood centers, 4) park and recreational centers, and 5)
childcare centers ranking the highest.
Although the Consolidated Plan is still underway, County CDBG staff substantially completed
the Needs Assessment section. Taking in to consideration the information collected from
individual consultations, community meetings, focus group meetings and the survey
3
information, County CDBG staff proposes to continue the four main priorities for the next five -
year period, as follows:
1) Affordable Housing (New unit Development and Rehabilitation of existing units);
2) Homelessness (Providing Housing and Services);
3) Non-Housing Community Development (Public Services, Infrastructure/Public
Facilities, Economic Development); and
4) Administration (Administration of the various Federal Programs).
Public Hearing and Transmittal of Recommendations: The Committee’s recommendations on
the Consolidated Plan priorities will be forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors prior to the
public hearing that is scheduled for November 19, 2019. The final Consolidated Plan will be
brought to the Committee in April 2020 along with the CDBG funding recommendations for FY
2020/21.

Survey of Needs for Development of the
2020-25 Contra Costa Consortium Consolidated Plan
Help create the future of YOUR community!
The Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Walnut Creek, and the
County of Contra Costa (on behalf of all the other towns and cities in
Contra Costa) receive federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), Emergency
Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with
HIV/AIDS (HOPWA) funding every year. Over a five- year period,
these funds are expected to total over $60 million!!
These federal funds, administered by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) can be used to build new affordable rental housing, provide first-time
homebuyer assistance, rehabilitate existing housing, rehabilitate homes for lower income and senior
households, build new supportive housing for people with special needs, improve or construct public
facilities including community centers and parks, improve infrastructure (streets, sidewalks, etc.) in
lower income neighborhoods, provide employment training and training to small business owners,
and provide a wide variety of services for lower income families and individuals, and homeless
persons, and SO MUCH MORE!
Every five years, YOU, your friends, your neighbors, and your community have the opportunity to help

Meeting Date:11/04/2019
Subject:Sales Tax
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: 5/21/2019 D.7
Referral Name: Sales Tax
Presenter: Supervisor John
Gioia
Contact: Timothy Ewell, Chief Assistant County
Administrator (925) 335-1036
Referral History:
On May 21, 2019, while considering whether to accept a report on the Contra Costa
Transportation Authority's (CCTA) development of a Transportation Expenditure Plan and
potential sales tax ballot measure, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Finance Committee the
concept of a countywide sales tax (non-transportation) measure.
On July 5, 2019, the Finance Committee met and discussed the feasibility of a sales tax measure.
County Counsel provided two attachments to supplement the discussion. The first attachment is a
document outlining the procedural steps necessary to bring a general or special sales tax measure
to the voters for approval. The second attachment discusses the limitations on the use of public
resources in relation to ballot measure campaigns for a tax. Both documents are also attached to
this agenda item for reference as attachments A and B, respectively.
At the July 29, 2019 Finance Committee meeting, staff was asked to provide several follow up
information items to the Committee at its next regular meeting, including: 1) information
regarding the composition of parcels throughout the County, 2) County Counsel was asked to
assemble information related to parcel taxes similar to what has been provided to the Committee
for a sales tax (essentially a "Guide"), and 3) provide updated information as to what a 0.5% and
0.25% sales tax would generate if passed.
At the October 7, 2019 Finance Committee meeting, staff presented a report related to a proposed
sales tax measure and provided staff recommendations on next steps. After discussion, the
Committee:
Determined that a sales tax should be pursued over a parcel tax for the entire County
(unincorporated and cities)
1.

1 The 0.25 percent tax will not be imposed in the cities of Compton, Long Beach, Lynwood, Pico Rivera, Santa Monica, and South Gate
because doing so would cause the rate in those cities to exceed the 10.25 percent maximum tax rate allowed under the law in Los Angeles
County. If and when an existing tax in one of these cities expires, the Measure H tax will be imposed in that city immediately.

FINANCE COMMITTEE 8.
Meeting Date:11/04/2019
Subject:Employee Recognition
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: 6/18/2019 C.104
Referral Name: Employee Recognition Programs
Presenter: Lisa Driscoll, County
Finance Director
Contact: Lisa Driscoll, County Finance Director
(925) 335-1023
Referral History:
On June 18, 2019, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Finance Committee the issues of employee recognition
programs; and directed staff to provide to the committee a list of all department employee recognition programs, the
cost of them and how those programs are funded.
On July 29, 2019, the Finance Committee meeting received a report regarding department employee recognition
programs. The Finance Committee asked staff to prepare a Board Order directing that no general fund dollars be
spent on employee recognition until a uniform program was developed. Staff was directed to come back to Finance
Committee with recommendations for a countywide policy.
Referral Update:
Staff has reviewed with Labor the current countywide employee recognition program, which includes carve-outs
for the CCC Fire Protection and the Sheriff-Coroner agencies (attached). Staff verified that any change in these
policies would require agreement through a Meet and Confer process with all affected bargaining groups. Rather
than attempt to negotiate what would be a takeaway for many employees, for consistency and fairness staff
recommends that department heads be reminded of the County’s countywide policy and coached to adhere to those
policies. Per current practice, any exceptions to those countywide policies requiring departmental funding would
require Board of Supervisors approval.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER accepting update and staff recommendation regarding employee recognition
programs.
