proposal to expand the animal services donation program and reported out to the Board of
Supervisors on April 19, 2016. The Board Order directed the Animal Services Director to report
annually to the IOC on the impact of the Animal Benefit Fund on the community and families,
creating a new standing referral. On September 11, 2017, the IOC received the first annual report
on the Animal Benefit Fund covering FY 2016/17 and reported out to the Board of Supervisors
on October 17, 2017.

Animal Benefit
Fund Report
Contra Costa Animal Services
September 2018
55
It is our pleasure to present Contra Costa Animal Services’ (CCAS) annual
report for the Animal Benefit Fund (ABF). This report highlights the progress
we’ve made in strengthening and modernizing our ability to care for
animals in our shelters, driven by the generous contributions of individuals,
organizations and corporations in Contra Costa County and beyond.
The Animal Benefit Fund was established by the Contra Costa Board
of Supervisors in 1986 as a way to accept monetary donations from
compassionate individuals who want to help our shelter animals. All funds
are used to enhance the care and well-being of animals in our shelters and
to enhance programs of humane welfare and education for the residents of
Contra Costa County.
In FY 17/18, ABF funds were allocated to a range of projects and initiatives
geared towards enhancing the care and enrichment of our animals, as
well as supporting pet owners in Contra Costa County. Propelled by the
collective generosity of 2,527 donors who contributed $124,682, CCAS
made significant improvements in the areas of medical treatment and
support for animals, enabling families to retain their pets (thus keeping
them out of the shelter), augmenting spay and neuter services in the
County and amplifying awareness of CCAS and the importance of
licensing and microchipping.
The incredible amount of giving has allowed us to put ideas into action,
the results of which are highlighted throughout this report . To our donors,
we say, “Thank You” for believing in CCAS and for providing us the tools
necessary to impact and save even more lives.
Behind every number is a story. This report highlights a few of those that
touched and inspired us, and spurred us to action. For that, our thanks go
to the community, adopters, transfer partners, staff and volunteers who
either contributed to the fund, adopted an animal into their home or
organization, or who gave their time or talent to ensure the best outcomes
possible for the animals in our care. The heart-warming results you willread
about in this report are testament to the spirit of compassion, innovation
and hard work exhibited by CCAS in the last fiscal year.

Spay and Neuter Program
In FY17/18, CCAS
significantly increased
the scope of the Animal
Benefit Fund’s spay and
neuter program, allocating
over $117,000 in funding to
increase opportunities for
low-cost spay and neuter
services in Contra Costa
County. Working with our
collaborative partners
Fix Our Ferals, Paw Fund
and Positively SAFE, the
fund provided over 1,200
low-cost spay and neuter
surgeries for animals that
may not have otherwise
been altered.

The CCAS/ARF Pet Retention
Program has become an
overwhelming success in
keeping animals out of Contra
Costa County shelters. In the
first two years of implementing
the program, animals coming
into CCAS via the owner
surrender pipeline have been
reduced by 50%. The reduction
in owner surrendered animals
allowed CCAS to clear up
much-needed kennel space
and increase departmental
capacity - allowing us to help
more people and animals. In
FY 17/18, over $30,000 was
allocated from the Animal
Benefit Fund to help keep over
100 animals in their loving
homes. Equally important,
in the second year of the
program’s operation, we were
able to identify the most
common themes that lead
people to surrender their pets,
allowing us to bolster our
existing resources in those
areas and seek new resources
to address issues, thus
creating a stronger program.
Beyond the statistical
successes enjoyed by the
program, the real measure of
success can be found in the
stories, photos and thank you
cards we receive from people
whom we’ve helped keep their
pet in their family.

The CCAS Bridge Program serves as a mechanism to assist our transfer partners in adopting
more animals, particularly those with medical issues. The financial assistance provided to transfer
partners through the Animal Benefit Fund’s Bridge Program helps to alleviate the costs of medical
and other services transfer partners incur as a result of pulling special needs animals. In FY 17/18,
over $43,000 was dedicated to assisting transfer partners in adopting over 50 special needs
animals from the Martinez and Pinole shelters.

Medical Assistance (Panda Fund)
The Panda Fund was created to provide medical services to animals in need that have conditions
beyond CCAS’ ability to treat. In FY 17/18, over $21,000 in Animal Benefit Fund support was
dedicated to the Panda Fund. The funding provided allowed CCAS to provide 22 animals with the
urgent medical care they needed. From providing urgent care to animals with severe trauma to
performing complicated surgeries to save the lives of animals in the hopes they will find their forever
homes, the Panda Fund has made a huge difference in CCAS’ ability to care for animals with severe
trauma and conditions.64

of adoption and the importance of pet licensing. Projects funded by the Education & Awareness
Fund in FY 17/18 include: the 2018 CCAS License Amnesty Program advertising campaign, social
media campaigns targeted towards underserved communities, television and radio PSAs and the
implementation of new, educational signage at the Martinez shelter and on the CCAS transport van.
ABF funds have allowed CCAS to take our marketing and public education game to the next level

__________________________________________________________________________________________
A. Introduction
On December 5, 2018, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2017-16 establishing a permit program for specified
non-franchise solid waste haulers. Section 418-2.018 of the Ordinance requires a permittee to file with the
County a performance bond of the type and in the amount set by Board resolution. In addition, Section 418-
2.020 requires payment of a permit fee established by Board resolution.
Following adoption of the Ordinance, Environmental Health (EH) staff returned to the Board on January 23,
2018 with Resolution No. 2018/31 to add a non-franchise solid waste collection and transport permit fee to
the schedule of fees for the Environmental Health Division, and Resolution No. 2018/41 establishing the
amount of $20,000 as well as other requirements for a performance bond to be filed under Section 418-2.018.
The following Section B is a summary of actions taken by county staff to implement this new permit program.
B. Summary of Non-Franchise Solid Waste Hauler Program Implementation
1. Hauler Outreach Activities
Beginning in January 2018, EH staff enlisted the assistance of the Contra Costa County Health Services
Community Education and Information (CEI) group to help construct a website (http://cchealth.org/eh/solid-
waste/non-franchise-permit.php) specifically targeted at waste haulers affected by the new permit
requirement. Concurrently, the CEI group and EH staff also co-developed an informational brochure (see
Exhibits A & B). These brochures have been distributed via the following means:
a. EH staff has hand-distributed approximately 135 to haulers encountered out in the field during day-
to-day activities, such as leaving on the windshield of parked vehicle filled with solid waste and/or
with advertisement about hauling on side of truck.
74
IOC Report: Solid Waste Collection & Transportation Ordinance Update Page 2 of 3
b. Approximately 200 were provided to Republic Services to be handed out to haulers they encounter
at transfer stations they operate throughout the county.
c. Approximately 50 were provided to Board member offices to distribute at community meetings
such as the Municipal Advisory Committees.
d. Approximately 200 were provided to Garaventa Enterprises to distribute to haulers they encounter
at their Pittsburgh transfer station.
In addition, EH staff met with the Treasurer/Tax Collector's office that issues business licenses for the
unincorporated county and obtained a list of nine businesses with "Haul" and two businesses with "Junk" in
their business name. These eleven businesses were sent a brochure along with a letter via the US Mail to
inform them about the requirements of the new permit program. EH has also provided language to the
Treasurer/Tax Collector's office in hopes that they will add it to their Business License Application directing
potential haulers to EH for the permit program information.
More recently, EH staff have sent brochures along with letters via the US Mail to O2E Brands (parent company
of 1-800-GOT-JUNK) and Vets Move Junk (a local company that recently began advertising to Contra Costa
County residents) in an effort to inform these companies about the requirements of the new permit program.
2. Stakeholder Engagement
On February 20, 2018, EH hosted a meeting attended by approximately 14 Contra Costa County Sheriff’s
Deputies representing Patrol Divisions throughout the county with the intent to educate them on the permit
and vehicle requirements for non-franchise solid waste haulers. With citation authority, EH believed that the
Office of the Sheriff would be key partners in the enforcement of the non-franchise solid waste collection and
transport permit. However, during the meeting it was brought to our attention by one of the Sheriff’s
Deputies that as an administrative violation the citation would only amount to an infraction with penalties
limited to $100 (first offense), $200 (second offense), and $500 (all subsequent offenses). Both EH and the
Sheriff’s Deputies present at the meeting believed these penalties may not be significant enough to deter a
potential offender given the cost of the permit in addition to the liability insurance and performance bond
costs required to obtain the permit.
In March 2018, EH staff reached out to the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (RecycleSmart), Rodeo
Sanitary District, Mt. View Sanitary District, and the Kensington Police & Community Services District to
incorporate language specifically targeted at the consumer in their upcoming spring, summer, and fall 2018
publications with the intent of informing residents within these service areas about the new permit
requirement for non-franchise solid waste haulers. To date, only Mt. View Sanitary District has highlighted
this new permit program in their May 2018 newsletter (see Exhibit C) although EH staff continues to engage
with RecycleSmart, Rodeo Sanitary District, and the Kensington Police & Community Services District in hopes
of partnering with these entities to inform their service area customers of the new permit program in an
upcoming publication. EH staff also reached out to the Byron Sanitary District but have yet to hear back from
them regarding our request to form a partnership in order to spread the word in their community. The West
Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (RecycleMore) does not have a newsletter, but EH has
asked them to incorporate similar language or our brochure into their billing process.
EH staff have also been participating in both the Contra Costa County Illegal Dumping Think Tank and the
Alameda County Illegal Dumping Working Group as both groups have identified unpermitted hauling as
75
IOC Report: Solid Waste Collection & Transportation Ordinance Update Page 3 of 3
potential contributors to illegal dumping. There are currently efforts underway at both regional and statewide
levels to increase awareness of the potential effect unpermitted non-franchise haulers have on illegal
dumping. EH staff have been using these platforms to promote our permit program with the hope that
partnerships with other agency stakeholders will help encourage haulers who qualify to obtain permits.
3. Application Materials Development
In February 2018, EH staff worked closely with Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) staff to
develop a comprehensive application packet including a map indicating locations throughout the county the
new permit would be required (see Exhibit D). This application packet was made available as a downloadable
file on our website (http://cchealth.org/eh/solid-waste/non-franchise-permit.php) as well as in hard copy
format at both the DCD and EH offices. EH and DCD staff also co-developed a Quarterly Activity Report as
required by Section 418-2.016(b)(9) that permittees must submit to EH quarterly indicating the location(s) and
type(s) of materials collected and where the materials were disposed (see Exhibit E).
C. Permitted Non-Franchise Solid Waste Haulers
EH has not yet received any applications for a non-franchise solid waste collection and transport permit.
However, EH staff have spoken with approximately 42 potential non-franchise solid waste haulers either via
telephone or in our office since March 1, 2018. Many of the businesses EH staff have spoken with were
exempt from a permit as stipulated by Section 418-2.008(b) which states that the requirement to obtain a
permit under Section 418-2.004 does not apply to the following:
The collection and transport of solid waste that is generated on real property in the course of a
service provided to the owner or tenant of that property by a building contractor or landscape
contractor, if the solid waste is collected and transported by the contractor.
In addition, many of the businesses EH staff spoke with also indicated that they only collect solid waste from
incorporated cities within Contra Costa County and do not collect solid waste from the unincorporated areas
of the county.
D. Ongoing Efforts
EH staff continues to engage with RecycleSmart, Rodeo Sanitary District, and the Kensington Police &
Community Services District in hopes of partnering with these entities to add language to their upcoming
publications regarding our permit program.
EH staff are actively engaging incorporated communities (beginning with the City of Richmond and the City
of Antioch) in hopes of encouraging these communities to adopt municipal codes similar to Contra Costa
County Ordinance 418-2 establishing EH as the non-franchise solid waste hauler permitting entity within
the community.

Refuse Hauling Permit Application Process Operating Standards
Illegal dumping and illegal solid waste facilities
are a serious problem throughout Contra Costa
County. Non-franchise refuse hauling companies
have been found transporting refuse to illegal
facilities and some implicated in illegal dumping
activities. Contra Costa County Ordinance Code
Chapter 418–2 was revised to require that non-
franchise haulers obtain a permit issued by Contra
Costa Environmental Health (CCEH) and comply
with standards associated with the collection and
transport of solid waste. The effective date of the
revised ordinance is March 1, 2018.
A non-franchise person or hauling business hired
to collect solid waste in unincorporated Contra
Costa County must obtain a permit from CCEH.
Solid waste includes, but is not limited to, refuse,
garbage, landscaping waste, construction and
demolition debris, mixed recyclables, source-
separated recycles, junk, non-hazardous industrial
waste, electronic waste, or appliances. There is
an exemption to the permit requirement for
landscaping or building contractors hauling waste
from their own jobsites directly to an approved
solid waste or recycling facility. Other exemptions
are described in Section 418–2.008 of the Contra
Costa County Ordinance Code.
Persons hiring a solid waste hauler must use one
permitted to conduct this type of business.
For incorporated areas, check with the city and
local solid waste authority for any requirements
that may apply to your business.
To obtain a permit, a non-franchise refuse hauling
business must submit an application to CCEH. The
application form is available online or by contacting
CCEH. The application process is follows:
Submit completed application and any required fees to CCEH. The application must be accompanied by the following items: Copy of the driver’s license for each person who will operate a solid waste hauling vehicle. Valid California vehicle registration card for each solid waste hauling vehicle. CCEH will review the application and if it is complete, send a copy to the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development, local solid waste authorities, and sanitary districts responsible for the regulation of solid waste hauling in unincorporated areas. CCEH will give these other agencies 30 days to review the application.
Once the review period is over and if the application is approved, CCEH will notify the applicant and schedule an inspection of the applicant’s vehicle(s). The inspection is to verify that the vehicle(s) complies with the standards described in Chapter 418–2. If the permit is denied, the applicant will be informed of the reason(s) for denial.
If the applicants vehicle(s) passes the inspection, a permit will be issued and health permit decals will be affixed to the vehicle so as to be readily visible (e.g., rear and sides of the vehicle).
Chapter 418–2 includes a number of
operating standards to ensure that refuse is
handled properly. These standards include,
but are not limited to, the following:
Waste must go to an approved solid waste or recycling facility. The vehicle must be clearly marked on each side with the name and telephone number of the business. The markings must be visible from a distance of at least 50 feet.
Vehicles must be kept in a clean, sanitary condition. The vehicle must be designed to contain all waste materials inside the truck (no leakage or windblown litter).
Debris bins or boxes of one cubic yard or larger used by the business must be identified with the name and telephone number of the permittee. Record must be kept for least one year showing the type and amount of waste collected, where it was collected, and where it was taken for disposal or recycling. On a quarterly basis these records must be submitted to CCEH. A template reporting form is available from CCEH. A current valid performance bond in the amount of $50,000 must be filed with CCEH. A liability insurance policy must be maintained with limits no less than $1 million per claim and $1 million in the aggregate.
Permits are valid for one calendar year and renewed annually. A vehicle is required to pass an inspection each year.

Recolección de basura Proceso de solicitud de permisos Normas operativas
La descarga ilegal y las instalaciones de residuos sólidos ilegales son un problema serio en todo el Condado de Contra Costa. Se han encontrado empresas de recolección de basura no franquiciadas transportando basura a instalaciones ilegales y algunas implicadas en actividades de vertido ilegal. El Capítulo 418-2 del Código de Ordenanzas del Condado de Contra Costa se revisó para exigir que los recolectores no franquiciados obtengan un permiso emitido por Salud Ambiental de Contra Costa (Contra Costa Environmental Health, CCEH) y cumplan con las normas asociadas con la recolección y el transporte de residuos sólidos. La fecha de entrada en vigencia de la ordenanza revisada es el 1.º de marzo de 2018.
Una persona o empresa de recolección no franquiciadas contratadas para recolectar residuos sólidos en el Condado de Contra Costa no incorporado deben obtener un permiso del CCEH. Los residuos sólidos incluyen, entre otras cosas, basura, desechos, residuos de paisajismo, restos de construcción y demolición, reciclables mixtos, reciclables separados por origen, chatarra, residuos industriales no peligrosos, residuos electrónicos o electrodomésticos. Existe una exención al requisito de permiso para contratistas de paisajismos o construcción que recolectan residuos de sus propios lugares de trabajo directamente a una instalación de residuos sólidos o de reciclaje. La Sección 418-2.008 del Código de Ordenanzas de Contra Costa describe otras exenciones.
Las personas que contratan a un recolector de residuos sólidos deben usar uno que tenga permiso para realizar este tipo de negocio.
Para áreas incorporadas, consulte a la autoridad municipal o local de residuos sólidos si hay requisitos que pudieran aplicarse a su empresa.
Para obtener un permiso, una empresa de recolección de basura no franquiciada debe presentar una solicitud al CCEH. El formularios de solicitud está disponible en línea o si se comunica con CCEH. El proceso de solicitud es el siguiente:
Enviar la solicitud completada y todas las tarifas requeridas al CCEH. La solicitud debe estar acompañada de los siguientes elementos: Copia de la licencia de conducir de cada persona que operará un vehículo de recolección de residuos sólidos. Tarjeta de registro del vehículo válida en California para cada vehículo de recolección de residuos sólidos.
CCEH revisará la solicitud y, si está completa, enviará una copia al Departamento de Conservación y Desarrollo del Condado de Contra Costa, autoridades locales de residuos sólidos y distritos sanitarios responsables de la regulación de recolección de residuos sólidos en áreas no incorporadas. CCEH le dará a estas agencias 30 días para revisar la solicitud.
Una vez que el período de revisión haya finalizado, y si la solicitud se aprueba, CCEH notificará al solicitante y programará una inspección del vehículo del solicitante. La inspección se hace para verificar que el vehículo cumpla con las normas descritas en el Capítulo 418–2. Si el permiso se deniega, se le informará al solicitante los motivos de la denegación.
Si el vehículo del solicitante aprueba la inspección, se emitirá un permiso y las calcomanías del permiso de salud se pegarán al vehículo en un lugar fácilmente visible (p. ej., en la parte posterior y en los lados del vehículos).
El Capítulo 418-2 incluye un número de normas operativas para asegurar que la basura se maneje correctamente. Estas normas incluyen, entre otras, las siguientes:
Los residuos deben llevarse a una planta aprobada de residuos sólidos o reciclaje.
El vehículo debe estar claramente marcado a cada lado con el nombre y el número de teléfono de la empresa. Las marcas deben poder verse desde una distancia de 50 pies como mínimo.
Los vehículos deben conservarse limpios y en condiciones higiénicas.
El vehículo debe estar diseñado para contener todos los residuos dentro del camión (sin fugas ni basura arrastrada por el viento).
Recipientes o cajas de restos de una yarda cúbica o más usados por la empresa deben identificarse con el nombre y el número de teléfono del titular del permiso.
Se debe conservar el registro que indique el tipo y la cantidad de residuos recolectados, dónde se recogió y dónde se llevó para su disposición o reciclaje durante al menos un año. Estos registros deben enviarse a CCEH trimestralmente. Hay una plantilla del formulario de registros disponible en CCEH.
Se debe presentar una fianza de cumplimiento válida y vigente por el monto de $50,000 ante CCEH.
Se debe mantener una póliza de seguro contra terceros con límite no menor a $1 millón por reclamo y $1 en el total.
Los permisos son válidos por un año calendario y se renuevan anualmente. El vehículo debe aprobar una inspección cada año.

Did you know that a single bat can eat up to
1000 mosquitoes in a single hour or that bats
are more closely related to humans than to
rodents? Join Corky Quirk and a few of her
“winged friends” (live bats!) from NorCal Bats
to learn the truth about these mysterious
flying mammals. NorCal Bats is dedicated
to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of
bats throughout Northern California. Space
is limited. Contact Kelly at kdavidson@mvsd.
org to RSVP.
Thinking of cleaning your garage,
working on a do-it-yourself (diy) yard or
house project, or just doing some spring
cleaning? Hire a permitted waste hauler
and keep your community clean.
Businesses hired to collect unwanted junk,
appliances, construction debris, and other
solid waste in the unincorporated areas of
Contra Costa County now need permits issued
by Contra Costa Environmental Health (CCEH)
to operate.
The Board of Supervisors recently changed the
county ordinance to require a Non-Franchise
Solid Waste Collection and Transport Permit, to
curb illegal dumping and other environmentally
unfriendly practices.
Franchised waste haulers (your weekly
curbside pick-up) are exempt from the new
rule, as are contractors taking construction or
landscaping debris from their job site directly
to an approved facility. Property owners can
also still haul their own waste without a permit.
When hiring a hauler to collect solid waste
from your property, if you live in the
unincorporated areas of the county, ask if
your hauler has the annual permit required
beginning March 1.
CCEH will screen all permit applicants to
ensure they carry adequate insurance, obtain
performance bonds, and know the county rules
about collecting and transporting solid waste.
CCEH also inspects all permitted vehicles
annually, and issues permit decals to each
vehicle.

A Day in the Life of an MVSD Board of
Directors Member
In past editions of the Mt. View Monitor
we’ve introduced you to some of the
leadership that guides the District. In this
edition, we want to provide you with a
glimpse into a day in the life of our Board
of Directors. As an independent public
agency, MVSD is governed by a five-person
Board of Directors. The Directors are
elected from the District’s service area
and serve a four year term. The next Board
election will be held in November 2018
when two Board seats will be filled.
District Directors are responsible for
directing and evaluating District Policy.
This obligation requires that Directors
stay abreast of current wastewater
treatment requirements, which, as you
can imagine, means reviewing lots of
technical documents before monthly
Board meetings. Board members also
are expected to prepare for and attend
a number of Special Board meetings
each year, as well as the annual February
Strategic Planning Session. At the
Strategic Planning Session, Directors and
staff review the District Strategic Plan to
evaluate the progress made during the
prior year and identify any needed updates.
Additionally, Directors attend regular
standing committee and Ad Hoc committee
meetings and are expected to provide
direction. Standing committees meet and
review District functions and activities
related to the operations of the District.
MVSD’s Ad Hoc committee consists of two
Board members selected during a Regular
Board meeting, who meet with District
Staff and Consulting firms to discuss and
provide recommendation to the Board
regarding specific items not covered by the
standing committees. All of these meetings
require hours of preparation by Directors
so they can provide the necessary guidance
to District staff on key operational issues.
In addition to the responsibilities described
above, as elected officials, Board Members
often serve as the face of MVSD to the
community and are happy to do so. The
next time you meet one of your Directors
at the local market or a community event,
feel free to ask them questions about the
service you receive from MVSD!
Meet the New Faces
at MVSD!
MVSD is pleased to announce the arrival
and promotion of two staff members
whose roles are crucial to ensuring that
the District’s day to day operations run
smoothly. For the first time in its 95 year
history, the District has hired a full time
District Engineer.
Chris Elliott has joined the District to fill
this important role. The District previously
relied on consultants to provide this
expertise. Chris previously served as
Associate Engineer at Union Sanitary
District. In his new role at MVSD, Chris is
responsible for overseeing all the activities
of the Engineering Department.
“I really enjoy the day to day challenges
presented by working in a smaller
district. Plus, the marshes and wildlife
that surrounds the Plant provide a daily
reminder of the importance of our work—
keeping water clean and improving our
environment!” said Elliott. In his spare
time Chris enjoys family time, home
improvements and, tending a home garden
and orchard.
Jeff Greer has assumed the role of
Wastewater Operations Supervisor. He
joined the District in 2015 as an Operator
and has steadily advanced to his new role
as Wastewater Operations Supervisor,
with responsibility for overseeing the
operations, plant maintenance and
collections system work. “I love that I wear
many different hats during the work day- it
makes every day interesting and fulfilling,”
said Greer. In his spare time Jeff likes to
work on classic cars, ride his mountain
bike, and play with his 5 year old son.
Chris Elliott(left) and Jeff Greer (right) are
excited to be filling their new roles at MVSD.

Northern California is home to 17 bat species. One of the most common is
the Mexican free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis). This half-ounce flying
acrobat has a 12-inch wingspan and can reach speeds of approximately
60 mph. Females give birth to a single pup in early summer. Pregnant or
nursing bats are voracious feeders and will eat more than two-thirds of
their body weight in insects every night!
This species is known to roost in enormous colonies. The largest is at
Bracken Cave in Texas, with an estimated 20 million individuals. One of
the biggest California colonies is found at the Yolo Causeway on I-80 that
connects the cities of Davis and Sacramento. The causeway and associated
wetlands provides habitat for 250,000 bats and the colony is still growing.

Collection System Rehabilitation
Project Underway
MVSD will be starting
an important
collection system
rehabilitation project
as part of its ongoing
efforts to maintain
the collection and
treatment system
that helps protect
the public health and
environment. The
District has awarded part one of a two part Collection System
Rehabilitation project to Kerex Engineering. This $352,300
project is expected to begin in May. The scope of the work calls
for spot repairs of sagging pipes, offset joints and root intrusion
throughout the oldest sections of the District. Residents who may
be affected by these repairs will be notified by the contractor
in advance of the work. MVSD asks that residents please keep
the safety of working crews in mind while driving through the
construction zones.
May is American Wetlands Month
American Wetlands Month was created to celebrate the vital
importance of wetlands and to educate the public about these
valuable natural resources. The Peyton Slough Marsh Complex,
which includes McNabney and Moorhen Marshes, is enhanced
by treated MVSD effluent, resulting in an ecosystem that is rich
and diverse in wildlife. The wetlands are an important stop along
the Pacific Flyway for many migratory bird species, who use the
wetlands as foraging habitat.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 7.
Meeting Date:10/08/2018
Subject:Commission for Women Status Update
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: IOC 18/9
Referral Name: Commission for Women Review
Presenter: Julie DiMaggio Enea Contact: Julie DiMaggio Enea (925) 335-1077
Referral History:
In September 2017, the IOC held a discussion about problems that had been reported concerning
the Commission for Women including a spate of member resignations, inability to achieve a
meeting quorum, blurred responsibilities, disagreement over the Commission's mission, factions
and fragmentation, open meeting act errors, and loss of interest among some of the membership.
In February 2018, IOC staff presented five recommendations to address the problems identified
by some of the former and current Commission members. Commission member Joey Smith and
former Commission member Beth Mora commented that the officer duties of the Commission
were rotated annually but the Commission's subcommittee leadership had no formal rotation of
officers. They emphasized that the formation of the Friends Group and the Commission's
increased dependence on the Group for funding resulted from the elimination of County funding
for the Commission many years ago. Ms. Mora commented that several of the former members of
the Commission were disappointed that the Board of Supervisors had not yet dismantled and
re-established the Commission as a completely new entity. Attached for reference is the
Commission's April 2, 2018 response to the IOC staff recommendations.
The Committee generally concurred with staff's recommendations and preliminarily
recommended to the Board that the size of the Commission be reduced from 20 to 15 members to
improve cohesion and also the probability of achieving a meeting quorum. The Board approved
this recommendation on April 24. Assuming the Commission would thus be able to convene
proper meetings, the IOC requested the Commission to consider the remaining CAO
recommendations and possible bylaws update, and report back to the IOC in October.
Referral Update:
Since June 2018, Emlyn Struthers of the Clerk of the Board's Office has forwarded four
membership applications to the Commission for Women. In mid-September, Commissioner Joey
Smith confirmed receipt of the applications. Ms. Smith told Ms. Struthers that the Commission
had met the week prior to review the applications and that all eight members were present for
this. We were unable to confirm if that meeting had been properly noticed. The Commission
88
website shows neither an agenda nor minutes for a September meeting.
The Commission website is not up-to-date. According to their minutes, they last met on May 18,
2018 (http://www.womenscommission.com/agenda.html ). The Clerk's Office was unable to find any
agenda or announcement of a May 18 Commission meeting. Also, according to the minutes from
each of the 2018 meetings, the Commission appears to have met without a quorum of members
present. The May 18 Commission minutes indicate that some discussion occurred regarding the
recommend bylaw changes, but there is no further information in the minutes.
The Commission for Women has a small group of very devoted members who try to keep the
Commission moving forward. However, they currently do not have enough members to do their
business. In April of this year, the Board of Supervisors reduced the Commission's membership
size from 20 seats down to 15 to assist them in achieving a meeting quorum, which is now 8.
Even with the 5-seat reduction, the Commission appears to be struggling to achieve a quorum.
Last month, the Board accepted another resignation from the Commission.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER status report on the Commission for Women and any action to be taken.

The Contra Costa County Commission for Women
IOC Response Memo
April 2, 2018
a. To safely account for Commission funds and eliminate the Commission's dependence
on outside agencies for funds administration, DIRECT the County Administrator to create
and administer a budgetary organization unit to account for funds granted and donated
to the Commission for Women and to work with the Commission Chair and Treasurer on
a protocol and procedure to deposit and disburse the funds.
Answer: A request was submitted to the Commission for Women's interim county
representative, Susan Smith, March 21, 2018, to find out about setting up an account per our
discussion with County Supervisor, Candace Andersen, also March 21, 2018. We are awaiting
directions on how to complete these steps and in the meantime, have been advised to submit
our response via this memo that does the following;
1. Addresses each of the recommendations made by the IOC Chair and Vice Chair.
2. If the Commission has agreed to any of the recommendations, to describe the next steps
and if there is a fiscal impact associated with these actions;
a. Any Issues or concerns that the Commission has and would like the IOC Chair and Vice
Chair to comment on.
The Commission has not had the chance to review this request as a whole and will respond as
a group after our April, 2018 meeting.
b. To establish an arm’s length relationship between the Commission and the Friends of
the Commission and other supporting agencies, MODIFY the bylaws of the Commission
to stipulate that members of the Commission may not be members of any organization
that donates or grants funds to the Commission.
Answer: At this time, the commission has not agreed to have its members withdraw from The
Friends. The Friends are a 501 (c) 3 that was formed to do advocacy for women and girls and
under that umbrella to act as a fiscal agent for the Women’s Commission and to give them
support towards their annual budget, as well as, supporting and donating to other organizations
that do advocacy for women and girls. The following are examples of different organizations and
events The Friends have donated to that are not affiliated with the Commission for Women
along with one that supports the Commission for Women;
90
1. Donate money to the Rosie the Riverter Foundation- Purchasing airfare for a Rosie to fly
to Washington D.C., to meet President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
2. Paid for scholarships for young women in Girls Inc. to attend all day seminars.
3. Donated money to Female Veteran Stand Down
4. Paid for a leadership classes for our former chair to bring back to the Commission for
Women that trained us in how to put on effective seminars. These seminars were in
direct alignment with the Commission for Women’s mission, “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 ; to improve the economic status, social
welfare, and overall quality of life for women in Contra Costa County.”
5. Donations to young women phasing out of the foster care system.
c. To foster leadership among all Commission members, MODIFY the bylaws of the
Commission to stipulate that a member may serve as an officer for no more than two
consecutive years.
Answer: A copy of the bylaws was submitted to Supervisor Candace Andersen’s office March
21, 2018 to have her staff help us revise the bylaws to reflect the changes recommended, as
well as, changes the Commission would like to have added i.e. ensuring new members serve at
least one year as Commissioner before being allowed to serve on the Executive Committee.
We would like the record to show that no commissioner has ever served more than two terms.
d. To sharpen the Commission’s focus on its primary mission and to also minimize its
dependence on fundraising, CONSIDER whether or not the annual Women’s Hall of Fame
recognition ceremony is consistent with the Commission’s charge and mission, “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 ; to improve the economic
status, social welfare, and overall quality of life for women in Contra Costa County.”
Answer: The Women’s Hall of Fame is a bi-annual event that empowers and recognizes
women in the community who are doing extraordinary things to uplift and support women from
all economic backgrounds, in our County. While it is a major event, it is not the only event the
Commission for Women holds. Up until the negative culture that was created this last year and
ultimately, brought the commission to a stand still, we were very active in our community
through our Women In Leadership seminars that tackled female entrepreneurship, Women in
non-traditional jobs, and women in public service, to name a few.
Going forward, we are bringing back our seminars focusing on advocacy and beginning with a
seminar that will be held June 13, 2018 at DVC discussing #METOO and its effects on our
91
community. We are also working with Soroptimist to bring a showing of the documentary,“Equal
Means Equal” along with a discussion on the Equal Rights Amendment and the League of
Women Voters to bring community members and candidates together to speak to each other
and learn the different platforms they support. We have also submitted to the County
Supervisors, several initiatives we would like to support.
e. To help the Commission consistently maintain a meeting quorum, Consider reducing
the membership of the Commission from 20 members (5 District and 15 at large seats)
plus one alternate to 15 members (5 District and 10 at large seats) plus one alternate.
Answer: The commission never had an issue with having a quorum until the commissioners who
decided to vacate their posts in July, 2017, left at the same time, The commission feels that
dropping our numbers would not help thwart that happening again and would like to keep
membership, as is.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 8.
Meeting Date:10/08/2018
Subject:Consider New Membership Structure for the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: IOC 18/7
Referral Name: TRIENNIAL ADVISORY BODY REVIEW (Follow-up)
Presenter: Emlyn Struthers Contact: Emlyn Struthers (925) 335-1919
Referral History:
On February 12, 2018, Internal Operations approved the Phase I Triennial Report, which included a review of the
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Advisory Board.
In this report, the AOD Advisory Board (AB) indicated that they had experienced difficulty filling vacant seats and
attaining quorum. As of January 19, 2018, 9 of the 18 seats were vacant. Additionally, 7 meetings were canceled
during 36-month Triennial Review period specifically due to lack of a quorum. During the review period, the
AODAB was undergoing a bylaw update to change their subcommittee composition and to clarify quorum
requirements, as directed by the 2015 Triennial Review, but was unable to address their membership structure.
Since the completion of the Triennial Review, the AODAB filled many of their vacant seats. As of August 23, 2018,
5 seats are vacant. However, even with additional seats filled, many members do not attend the meetings. Currently,
AODAB finds it difficult to achieve quorum and is, therefore, unable to meet to determine the best seat structure. As
a result, the Internal Operations Committee will need to determine the most suitable new membership structure in
order to allow AODAB to attain a quorum and meet again.
Current Structure
The current structure of the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board includes eighteen (18) authorized voting
seats. In order to attain a quorum, the AODAB must have a minimum of ten (10) members present at meetings,
which can be difficult with weekday meetings. Additionally, fifteen (15) of the AODAB seats represent
supervisorial districts. In the current structure, each District Supervisor must find three individuals who are willing
and able to serve on the AODAB, which constrains the ability of the AODAB to fill some of the seats. Only three
(3) of the 18 seats are At-Large appointees. Adding further challenge to attaining quorum, there are no authorized
Alternate seats that would allow another appointee to vote in lieu of an absent member.
Current Appointees
As of September 18, 2018, there are 13 appointees out of 18 authorized, voting seats. The current AODAB bylaws
allow for members with four (4) or more unexcused absences to be removed from their position of the Board. Based
on the attendance records provided by the AODAB, one member has four unexcused absences in 2018, which
means that there are currently only 12 members in good standing.
The AODAB’s 2017 and 2018 attendance records are attached.
.
93
Referral Update:
Staff recommends that the Internal Operations Committee take the following actions:
Determine a new seat structure, including number of District appointees, At-Large appointees, and any
authorized Alternate seats.
Direct either Clerk of the Board or FHS to reassign existing AODAB appointees to the new seats, following
approval of the bylaws by the Board of Supervisors.
Several options for changing the AODAB membership composition are outlined in the table below. The following
options reduce the overall number of authorized voting seats, and reduce the number of district appointees. The two
options each provide a variant that provides for alternates, resulting in four possible configurations. The options
below are provided for discussion purposes, and can be adopted in their current form, or modified.

Implementation of New Membership Structure
Following adoption of a new seat structure, Clerk of the Board will shepherd the new bylaw updates to the Board of
Supervisors for approval, following review by County Counsel. In order to fully implement the recommended seat
structure, Clerk of the Board recommends reassigning the twelve (12) existing, active members to the newly
designated seats concurrent to the adoption of the new bylaws. The terms of the seats should match the appointees’
current appointment terms. Typically, Family and Human Services (FHS) Committee selects the At-Large
appointees to the AODAB. At the direction of Internal Operations, Clerk of the Board can assist with the one-time
assignment of appointees to the newly determined seats to avoid further delays in meetings, or the Committee can
delegate the new seat assignments to the FHS once the Board of Supervisors approves their new bylaws and seat
structure.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
In order to rectify the quorum issues, Clerk of the Board recommends the following bylaw updates:
Reduce the quorum requirement by decreasing the number of voting seats;1.
Convert up to 10 of the District seats to At Large seats2.
Allow for the appointment of At-Large Alternates, who are authorized to vote in the event of member absences.3.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 9.
Meeting Date:10/08/2018
Subject:Inclusionary Housing Ordinance In-Lieu Fee Update
Submitted For: John Kopchik, Director, Conservation & Development Department
Department:Conservation & Development
Referral No.: IOC 18/11
Referral Name: Inclusionary Housing Ordinance In-Lieu Fee
Presenter: Kara Douglas Contact: Kara Douglas 925-674-7880
Referral History:
On September 25, 2018, the Board of Supervisors referred this matter to the Internal Operations
Committee for review and recommendation. Asst. Deputy Conservation and Development
Director Kara Douglas will retire this month and wished to update the Committee before her
departure.
On October 24, 2006, the County Board of Supervisors adopted an Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance (the IHO) that requires the inclusion of affordable housing units as part of a residential
development, or the payment of a fee in-lieu of providing the affordable units. The IHO includes
formulas for the annual calculation of in-lieu fees for rental and for-sale housing. In 2009, the
California Superior Court concluded that the rental housing requirements in inclusionary
ordinances were superseded by the vacancy decontrol provisions of the Costa-Hawkins Act
(Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v City of Los Angeles). In order to comply with the Palmer
decision, the County maintained the language in the IHO, but changed the in-lieu fee to $0 for
rental developments. The current in-lieu fee for for-sale housing is $3,874 per market rate unit.
Referral Update:
In 2017, the governor signed into law AB 1505, which affirmed local agencies’ authority to apply
affordable housing requirements to rental projects, effective January 1, 2018. The Department of
Conservation and Development seeks input from the Internal Operations Committee on the
reinstatement of the rental in-lieu fee based on the formula in the IHO. The 2018 calculation for
the fees is $24,200.55 for rental housing and $6,218.91 for for-sale housing.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER the reinstate of fees in-lieu of providing affordable rental units as required under the
County's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
.
Fiscal Impact (if any):107
Fiscal Impact (if any):
Revenues derived from fees in lieu of providing affordable housing/rental units are restricted to
providing housing opportunities to low-income households and for fund administration. The
extent to which a reinstatement of fees may affect the area housing and rental market is unknown.

Assembly Bill No. 1505
CHAPTER 376
An act to amend Section 65850 of, and to add Section 65850.01 to, the
Government Code, relating to land use.
[Approved by Governor September 29, 2017. Filed with
Secretary of State September 29, 2017.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1505, Bloom. Land use: zoning regulations.
The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes the legislative body of any
county or city to adopt ordinances regulating zoning within its jurisdiction,
as specified.
This bill would additionally authorize the legislative body of any county
or city to adopt ordinances to require, as a condition of development of
residential rental units, that the development include a certain percentage
of residential rental units affordable to, and occupied by, moderate-income,
lower income, very low income, or extremely low income households or
by persons and families of low or moderate income, as specified, and would
declare the intent of the Legislature in adding this provision.
This bill would also authorize the Department of Housing and Community
Development, within 10 years of the adoption or amendment of an ordinance
by a county or city after September 15, 2017, that requires as a condition
of the development of residential rental units that more than 15% of the
total number of units rented in the development be affordable to, and
occupied by, households at 80% or less of the area median income, to review
that ordinance if the county or city meets specified conditions. The bill
would authorize the department to request, and require that the county or
city provide, evidence that the ordinance does not unduly constrain the
production of housing by submitting an economic feasibility study that
meets specified standards. If the department finds that economic feasibility
study does not meet these standards, or if the county or city fails to submit
the study within 180 days, the bill would require the county or city to limit
any requirement to provide rental units in a development affordable to
households at 80% or less of the area median income to no more than 15%
of the total number of units in the development. The bill would require the
department to report any findings made pursuant to these provisions to the
Legislature. The bill would also declare that these provisions regarding
department review of certain land use ordinances address a matter of
statewide concern.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 65850 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
65850. The legislative body of any county or city may, pursuant to this
chapter, adopt ordinances that do any of the following:
(a) Regulate the use of buildings, structures, and land as between industry,
business, residences, open space, including agriculture, recreation, enjoyment
of scenic beauty, use of natural resources, and other purposes.
(b) Regulate signs and billboards.
(c) Regulate all of the following:
(1) The location, height, bulk, number of stories, and size of buildings
and structures.
(2) The size and use of lots, yards, courts, and other open spaces.
(3) The percentage of a lot which may be occupied by a building or
structure.
(4) The intensity of land use.
(d) Establish requirements for offstreet parking and loading.
(e) Establish and maintain building setback lines.
(f) Create civic districts around civic centers, public parks, public
buildings, or public grounds, and establish regulations for those civic
districts.
(g) Require, as a condition of the development of residential rental units,
that the development include a certain percentage of residential rental units
affordable to, and occupied by, households with incomes that do not exceed
the limits for moderate-income, lower income, very low income, or extremely
low income households specified in Sections 50079.5, 50093, 50105, and
50106 of the Health and Safety Code. The ordinance shall provide alternative
means of compliance that may include, but are not limited to, in-lieu fees,
land dedication, off-site construction, or acquisition and rehabilitation of
existing units.
SEC. 2. Section 65850.01 is added to the Government Code, to read:
65850.01. (a) The Department of Housing and Community
Development, hereafter referred to as “the department” in this section, shall
have the authority to review an ordinance adopted or amended by a county
or city after September 15, 2017, that requires as a condition of the
development of residential rental units that more than 15 percent of the total
number of units rented in a development be affordable to, and occupied by,
households at 80 percent or less of the area median income if either of the
following apply:
(1) The county or city has failed to meet at least 75 percent of its share
of the regional housing need allocated pursuant to Sections 65584.04,
65584.05, and 65584.06, as applicable for the above-moderate income
category specified in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, prorated
based on the length of time within the planning period pursuant to paragraph
(1) of subdivision (f) of Section 65588, over at least a five-year period. This
determination shall be made based on the annual housing element report
93
— 2 —Ch. 376
122
submitted to the department pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of
Section 65400.
(2) The department finds that the jurisdiction has not submitted the annual
housing element report as required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of
Section 65400 for at least two consecutive years.
(b) Based on a finding pursuant to subdivision (a), the department may
request, and the county or city shall provide, evidence that the ordinance
does not unduly constrain the production of housing by submitting an
economic feasibility study. The county or city shall submit the study within
180 days from receipt of the department’s request. The department’s review
of the feasibility study shall be limited to determining whether or not the
study meets the following standards:
(1) A qualified entity with demonstrated expertise preparing economic
feasibility studies prepared the study.
(2) If the economic feasibility study is prepared after September 15, 2017,
the county or city has made the economic feasibility study available for at
least 30 days on its Internet Web site. After 30 days, the county or city shall
include consideration of the economic feasibility study on the agenda for a
regularly scheduled meeting of the legislative body of the county or city
prior to consideration and approval. This paragraph applies when an
economic feasibility study is completed at the request of the department or
prepared in connection with the ordinance.
(3) The study methodology followed best professional practices and was
sufficiently rigorous to allow an assessment of whether the rental
inclusionary requirement, in combination with other factors that influence
feasibility, is economically feasible.
(c) If the economic feasibility study requested pursuant to subdivision
(b) has not been submitted to the department within 180 days, the jurisdiction
shall limit any requirement to provide rental units in a development
affordable to households at 80 percent of the area median income to no
more than 15 percent of the total number of units in a development until an
economic feasibility study has been submitted to the department and the
department makes a finding that the study meets the standards specified in
paragraphs (1), (3), and, if applicable, (2), of subdivision (b).
(d) (1) Within 90 days of submission, the department shall make a finding
as to whether or not the economic feasibility study meets the standards
specified in paragraphs (1), (3), and, if applicable, (2), of subdivision (b).
(2) If the department finds that the jurisdiction’s economic feasibility
study does not meet the standards in paragraphs (1), (3), and, if applicable,
(2), of subdivision (b), the jurisdiction shall have the right to appeal the
decision to the Director of Housing and Community Development or his or
her designee. The director or his or her designee shall issue a final decision
within 90 days of the department’s receipt of the appeal unless extended by
mutual agreement of the jurisdiction and the department.
(3) If in its final decision the department finds that jurisdiction’s economic
feasibility study does not meet the standards in paragraphs (1), (3), and, if
applicable, (2), of subdivision (b), the jurisdiction shall limit any requirement
93
Ch. 376— 3 — 123
to provide rental units in a development affordable to households at 80
percent of the area median income to no more than 15 percent of the total
number of units in a development until such time as the jurisdiction submits
an economic feasibility study that supports the ordinance under review and
the department issues a finding that the study meets the standards in
paragraphs (1), (3), and, if applicable, (2), of subdivision (b).
(e) The department shall not request to review an economic feasibility
study for an ordinance more than 10 years from the date of adoption or
amendment of the ordinance, whichever is later.
(f) The department shall annually report any findings made pursuant to
this section to the Legislature. The report required by this subdivision shall
be submitted in compliance with Section 9795.
(g) The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring access to affordable
housing is a matter of statewide concern and not a municipal affair, as that
term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution.
Therefore, this section shall apply to an ordinance proposed or adopted by
any city, including a charter city.
SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Inclusionary housing ordinances have provided quality affordable
housing to over 80,000 Californians, including the production of an estimated
30,000 units of affordable housing in the last decade alone.
(b) Since the 1970s, over 170 jurisdictions have enacted inclusionary
housing ordinances to meet their affordable housing needs.
(c) While many of these local programs have been in place for decades,
a 2009 appellate court decision has created uncertainty and confusion for
local governments regarding the use of this tool to ensure the inclusion of
affordable rental units in residential developments.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature to reaffirm the authority of local
jurisdictions to include within these inclusionary housing ordinances
requirements related to the provision of rental units.
(e) The Legislature declares its intent in adding subdivision (g) to Section
65850 of the Government Code, pursuant to Section 1 of this act, to
supersede the holding and dicta in the court decision of Palmer/Sixth Street
Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles (2009) 175 Cal.App.4th 1396 to the
extent that the decision conflicts with a local jurisdiction’s authority to
impose inclusionary housing ordinances pursuant to subdivision (g) of
Section 65850 of the Government Code, as added pursuant to Section 1 of
this act.
(f) In no case is it the intent of the Legislature in adding subdivision (g)
to Section 65850 of the Government Code, pursuant to Section 1 of this act,
to enlarge, diminish, or modify in any way the existing authority of local
jurisdictions to establish, as a condition of development, inclusionary housing
requirements, beyond reaffirming their applicability to rental units.
(g) This act does not modify or in any way change or affect the authority
of local jurisdictions to require, as a condition of the development of
residential units, that the development include a certain percentage of
residential for-sale units affordable to, and occupied by, households with
93
— 4 —Ch. 376
124
incomes that do not exceed the limits for moderate-income, lower income,
very low income, or extremely low income households.
(h) It is the intent of the Legislature to reaffirm that existing law requires
that the action of any legislative body of any city, county, or city and county
to adopt a new inclusionary housing ordinance be taken openly and that
their deliberations be conducted openly consistent with the requirements of
the Ralph M. Brown Act (Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 54950) of
Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code).
(i) Except as provided in subdivision (e), in no case is it the intent of the
Legislature in adding subdivision (g) to Section 65850 of the Government
Code, pursuant to Section 1 of this act, to enlarge, diminish, or modify in
any way the existing rights of an owner of residential real property under
Sections 1954.50 to 1954.535, inclusive, of the Civil Code and Sections
7060 to 7060.7, inclusive, of the Government Code.
