COMMITTEE 5.
Meeting Date:03/22/2021
Subject:Bylaw Revisions for the Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls
Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: N/A
Referral Name: N/A
Presenter: Kelly Clancy, CCCWG Chair Contact: Enid Mendoza, (925) 655-2051
Referral History:
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 amending policy
governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of
Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at
large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors sub-committee.
The Contra Costa Commission for Women was formed to educate the community and advise the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to the changing social and economic
conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged.
The Commission's mission is, “to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality
of life for women in Contra Costa County.” In September 2017, the IOC held a discussion about
problems that had been reported concerning the Commission for Women and has worked with the
Commission to institute policy and bylaws changes to address the issues that have hindered
functioning of the Commission. The Commission for Women continues to face membership
challenges. The committee consists of 15 members and one alternate including:
• Five district representatives (one from each supervisorial district),
• Ten At-Large members, and
• One At-Large Alternate.
Referral Update:
The last bylaws revisions did not specify the staggering of seat terms in relation to the approved
extension from 3 year terms to 4 year terms. The Commission met to discuss these revisions and
other bylaws clarifications and approved the changes as attached. The recommended amendments
are attached, including both a red-lined version showing the proposed changes from the last
revision and clean version with all proposed changes included. The proposed changes are
summarized below:
ARTICLE III. MEMBERSHIP, Section 2. Member Responsibilities and Section 6.
Removal: Moved language pertaining to member absences from Section 2 to Section 6, since
FHS March 22, 2021 Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 27 of 114
Section 6.2. addresses membership attendance.
ARTICLE III. MEMBERSHIP, Section 4. Terms of Appointment: Added the seat term
staggering plan and as previously approved by the Board to extend seat terms from 3 years to 4
years, and not included in the last bylaw revision.
ARTICLE IV. OFFICERS, Section 1. Nomination of Officers: Establish the annual February
Commssion meeting for the annual appointment of officers.
ARTICLE IV. OFFICERS, Section 2. Election of Officers: Removed ballots process at a
membership committee and replaced with the election being conducted publicly at a commission
meeting and by majority vote.
In addtion to the bylaws changes, the Commission is requesting consideration to appoint two new
members and reappoint two members to At-Large seats. The reappointment of Kirsten Upshaw
would be to an At-Large seat, rather than the District V seat she vacated on February 28, 2021. If
approved, Lanita Mims would be reappointed to the same At-Large seat she occupied during the
last term. If the recommendations are approved and forwarded to the Board of Supervisors, 3 of
the 15 seats would remain vacant: District V, District III, and At-Large Alternate.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
RECOMMEND that the Board of Supervisors:
ACCEPT the amended bylaws of the Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls, and if
approved,
1.
APPOINT/REAPPOINT the following individuals to the specified seats and terms on the
Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls:
2.

COMMITTEE 6.
Meeting Date:03/22/2021
Subject:Arts and Culture Commission Cultural Plan Prospectus
Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: 121
Referral Name: Cultural Plan Prospectus
Presenter: Jenny Balisle, AC5 Managing
Director
Contact: Enid Mendoza, (925)
655-2051
Referral History:
In Fiscal Year 2018-19, the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (AC5)
commissioned the execution of an Arts and Culture Plan Prospectus. The desired outcomes of the
Prospectus is to increase engagement, outreach, community awareness and awareness of County
Arts resources; conduct a community evaluation; and develop a set of policy recommendations
through community partners for countywide cultural development.
At the February 2020 AC5 monthly meeting, AC5 commissioners discussed a community and
advocacy need for an updated Arts and Culture Plan. At this meeting, the Commission approved
submitting a request to the Board of Supervisors to engage the Family and Human Services
Committee to seek support of a new countywide Arts and Culture Plan.
On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Services
Committee discussion for the pursuit of a new Countywide Arts and Culture Plan in Fiscal Year
2020-2021, as recommended by the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County
(AC5). As a result, Cultural Plan Prospectus is Referral No. 121 of the Family and Human
Services Committee.
Referral Update:
Calls for racial equity and social justice in a time of a historical pandemic, delayed and
highlighted the need to recalibrate the Cultural Planning Prospectus to meet community and fiscal
needs. Requests for district art projects along with Contra County County government and
organization collaborations increased. The Arts and Culture Commission’s new request shifts to a
community action plan highlighting the value of art by creating an updated Arts & Culture
Prospectus for Contra Costa County that identifies a district art project.
From July 2021 to June 2022, the Arts and Culture Commission will identify community
stakeholders, facilitate two workshops, and present an updated Arts & Culture Prospectus for
FHS March 22, 2021 Meeting Agenda Packet

Contra Costa County and District Art Project at the Board of Supervisors. Overall guiding
principles will be to increase engagement, outreach, community awareness, highlight art
resources, and conduct a community evaluation.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER accepting or modifying the Arts & Culture Plan Prospectus for Contra Costa
County that identifies a district art project, and forwarding to the Board of Supervisors for their
approval.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
There is no fiscal impact.

Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County & Timeline
Mission: The Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County is dedicated to advancing the
arts in a way that promotes communication, education, appreciation and collaboration throughout
Contra Costa County so that we may grow creatively as a community that preserves and celebrates
our diverse cultural expression.
What: Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County & Timeline
Timeline: July 2021-June 2022
Ask: Board of Supervisor Support
Executive Summary: In 2019, the Arts and Culture Commission completed a Cultural Planning
Prospectus with the recommendation to develop a set of policy recommendations through collaborations
and community partners for countywide cultural development. Calls for racial equity and social justice in a
time of a historical pandemic, highlight the need to recalibrate our focus. Requests for district art projects
along with Contra County County government and organization collaborations have increased. In order to
succeed, uplift, and meet the needs of all communities, we must garner sustained policy support through
example.
Our new request shifts to a community action plan highlighting the value of art by creating an
updated Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County that identifies a district art project.
The Arts and Culture Commission promotes and encourages the arts and culture of Contra Costa County.
Commissioners offer critical support to sustain and celebrate diverse art practices. With over 1.154 million
residents, a thriving arts community is a critical economic engine driving the creativity and entrepreneurial
vitality of Contra Costa County. Growth in the arts and culture sector is widespread across California, and
nationally the arts contributed more to GDP than both agriculture and transportation. Contra Costa County
has become one of the last pockets of affordability and accessibility for artists, arts organizations, and
cultural institutions in the Bay Area. However, the pandemic has highlighted an increased need for
support and we must deliver.
The Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County & Timeline prioritizes imperative tasks and
policies to achieve a unified set of goals. The following table identifies key areas of work we intend to
accomplish by the end of June 2022. After the table, please find an expanded description of our goals,
strategy, rationale, context for priorities and other relevant details.

Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County & Timeline Guiding Principles:
1. Increase Engagement: We envision this plan identifies the needs of the diverse and vibrant population
from each Contra Costa County district.
2. Increase Outreach: The plan will require the implementation of new and innovative outreach tools to
tap into the diversity of our cultures.
3. Increase Community Awareness: The plan will enhance the Arts and Culture Commission’s visibility
as art advocates and highlight the importance of a better understanding of all communities.
4. Increase Community Awareness of County Arts Resources: Residents will be made aware of the
cultural resources that the Arts and Culture Commission provides through announcements, social media,
and public awareness along with partnerships with art museums, centers, and organizations.
5. Conduct a Community Evaluation: Placemaking promotes a healthy environment through the Arts in
which communities become participants in the process. The goal is to engage in strategic discourse to
hear the needs of the community and provide the support necessary to embrace the creative process.
Intersectionality is the awareness of our differences and seeking to achieve a common purpose.

Rationale for Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County & Timeline
These recommendations explain the table on page 2.
1. Identify cultural stakeholders and create an Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County
database: The Arts and Culture Commission has identified the need for an updated Arts & Culture
Prospectus for Contra Costa County & Timeline that identifies a district art project. Board of Supervisors,
Commissioners, and the Managing Director will identify Contra Costa County cultural stakeholders for two
workshops. A database will be created and managed.
2. Confirm workshop stakeholders and prep workshop format: Once workshop cultural stakeholders
are confirmed, workshop format (most likely virtual) will be determined following all pandemic protocols.
The Cultural Plan Subcommittee will determine workshop agenda and facilitation format. ASL translators,
interpreters, facilitator, notetaker, and tech support will be available for all participants.
3. Workshop #1: Prior to workshop, cultural stakeholders sent workshop agenda and sample questions
for Workshop #1. ASL translators, interpreters, facilitator, notetaker, and tech support will be available for
all participants. Cultural stakeholders will be invited to contribute to an online document to share ideas
and comments.
4. Summarize workshop #1 data and prep workshop #2: Workshop #1 summary sent to cultural
stakeholders and presented at Arts and Culture Commission Meeting. The Cultural Plan Subcommittee
analyzes workshop #1 data and how to improve along with prepare for workshop #2.
5. Workshop #2: Prior to workshop, cultural stakeholders sent workshop agenda and sample questions
for Workshop #2. ASL translators, interpreters, facilitator, notetaker, and tech support will be available for
all participants. Cultural stakeholders will be invited to contribute to an online document to share ideas
and comments. A workshop survey will be sent to cultural stakeholders.
6. Summarize workshop #1 and #2 data/survey into Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa
County and Board of Supervisors presentation prep: The findings from both workshops and survey
will be summarized into the Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County that identifies a district art
project. A Board of Supervisors presentation will highlight cultural stakeholders, process, findings, and
references along with a summary, guiding principles, goals/outcomes chart, timeline, and executive
summary.
7. Board of Supervisors presentation and approval of Arts & Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa
County and District Art Project funding: Managing Director with cultural stakeholders present the Arts
& Culture Prospectus for Contra Costa County and District Art Project pilot program at a Board of
Supervisors meeting. The goal is to garner incremental support demonstrating the importance of culture
and community throughout Contra Costa County. The Board of Supervisors initially adopts a yearly
budget in May with final modifications in August for the Final County Budget for FY 2022-21.
8. Arts and Culture Commission Cultural Plan: After securing additional funding, our future goal is to
complete a Cultural Plan.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 22, 2021
TO: Family and Human Services Committee
Supervisor Candace Andersen, Chair
Supervisor Diane Burgis, Vice-Chair
FROM: Gabriel Lemus, CDBG Program Manager
SUBJECT: FY 2021/22 (2nd Year) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding
Recommendations – Public Service Category
FY 2021/22 (2nd Year) Emergency Solutions Grant Funding Recommendations
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. APPROVE recommendations for FY 2021/22 CDBG Public Service (PS) projects as
recommended by staff and/or amended by the Committee.
2. APPROVE recommendations for FY 2021/22 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) projects
as recommended by staff and/or amended by the Committee.
3. DIRECT the Department of Conservation and Development to prepare a staff report on the
Committee’s recommendations. The staff report will be submitted together with funding
recommendations for all other CDBG categories and considered by the Board of Supervisors
on May 11, 2021 as a “Consent” item.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit staff recommendations for funding in the PS category
for the FY 2021/22 CDBG Program and the FY 2021/22 ESG Program. The proposed funding
spreadsheets for both PS and ESG projects are attached.
In October 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved having two separate and distinct funding cycles for
the non-housing categories of the CDBG Program and for the ESG Program to align with the five-year
period of the CDBG/ESG Consolidated Plan. The first cycle is a two-year funding cycle for
programs/projects in the CDBG PS, economic development, and infrastructure/public facilities
FHS March 22, 2021 Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 100 of 114
categories and for the ESG Program. The second cycle is a three-year funding cycle to conclude the
final three years of a five-year Consolidated Plan period. Consequently, in May 2020, the Board
approved the allocation of FY 2020/21 and FY 2021/22 CDBG and ESG funds. The allocation of FY
2021/22 CDBG and ESG funds is contingent on the availability of funds and the satisfactory
accomplishment of contract goals.
Available Funding
On March 2, 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the FY
2021/22 CDBG Program entitlement allocations to all CDBG entitlement jurisdictions. The County’s
FY 2021/22 CDBG entitlement amount is $4,665,011, which is approximately $27,000 more than the
County received in FY 2020/21.
On November 4, 2014, the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted funding guidelines for the allocation
of CDBG funds that require the County’s annual grant be allocated to the following CDBG eligible
categories:
Category of Use Allocation
Guidelines
CDBG Program
Available Funding
Affordable Housing 45% $2,099,255
Public Services *17% $ 793,052
Economic Development 10% $ 466,501
Infrastructure/Public Facility 8% $ 373,201
Administration 20% $ 933,002
Total FY 2021/22 CDBG Grant $4,665,011
*As long as the amount does not go over HUD’s statutory cap for Public Services
CDBG Program – Public Service Category: Consistent with Board funding guidelines, 17 percent of
the County’s annual CDBG allocation may be used for PS projects. Consequently, $793,052 is available
to PS projects from the annual allocation. Lastly, $40,000 is provided from the “Administration”
category to assist with funding fair housing services. Therefore, a total of $833,052 is available for PS
projects. A total of 34 renewal applications were received requesting a total of $761,375. This includes
one application from FY 2020/21 projects that did not commence due to limitations imposed by
state/local emergency proclamations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The award for Rising Sun
Center for Opportunity’s Climate Careers program was postponed until FY 2021/22, which has afforded
them the opportunity to best deliver their program. Rising Sun Center for Opportunity has transformed
its program to include virtual components and hopes to continue in-person services once restrictions are
lifted.
Staff recommends all 34 renewal projects be funded at the amounts requested (Attachment A).
Therefore, a total of $71,677 is available from the PS category to fund projects in other CDBG
categories. Staff recommends distributing the $71,677 to one, or more of the other CDBG categories in
order to fund other viable projects. This will ensure that the applications in other CDBG categories get
their full request and ensures that all of the available CDBG funds are allocated to eligible projects
carried out during FY 2021/22.
ESG Program: The County receives ESG funds on an entitlement bases for use in funding renovation,
major rehabilitation, or conversion of buildings for use as emergency shelters for the homeless,
FHS March 22, 2021 Meeting Agenda Packet
Page 101 of 114
provision of essential services for the homeless; emergency shelter operations and related services; and
homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing activities. The County will receive a total of $395,606 in
ESG funding for FY 2021/22, approximately $7,500 less than FY 2020/21. Seven and a half percent
(7.5%) of the grant will be used for administration expenses, resulting in a total of $365,935 available
for projects.
A total of six renewal applications were received, requesting a total of $372,865 in ESG Program funds.
Given that the County’s FY 2021/22 ESG Program allocation from HUD is slightly lower than the FY
2020/21 allocation, staff is recommending the same agencies and programs for FY 2021/22, but with
slight reductions from FY 2020/21. Homelessness Prevention/Rapid Rehousing programs must get 40
percent of the total ESG allocation per ESG regulations. Therefore SHELTER, Inc.’s Prevention/Rapid
Rehousing program is recommended to receive 40% of our total ESG allocation. Staff’s detailed
recommendations for the use of ESG funds are listed in Attachment B.
Application Process and Evaluation Criteria:
CDBG Program and ESG Program: For FY 2021/22, currently funded PS and ESG agencies were
required to submit an abbreviated “renewal application”, including a proposed FY 2021/22 budget,
current audit, and confirmation of performance outcomes. This information was used to evaluate an
agency’s continuing capacity to operate its program during the next fiscal year.
Staff’s funding recommendations for FY 2021/22 PS projects are listed in Attachment A, and staff’s
funding recommendations for FY 2021/22 ESG projects are listed in Attachment B. In general, most
agencies are currently performing as proposed and are expected to meet or exceed performance
outcomes, contained in their CDBG and ESG program agreements, by the end of the year. Many
programs had to pivot their service models due to the pandemic and either operate virtually or at limited
capacity for in-person services. Some have shifted functions altogether to better serve the community
during this time.
Public Hearing and Transmittal of Recommendations: The Committee’s recommendations will be
forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors prior to the public hearing that is scheduled for May 11,
2021. Final recommendations must be forwarded to HUD within 60 days of HUD’s announcement of
the CDBG Program entitlement allocations, or by May 15, 2021, for review to ensure consistency with
federal regulations.
