FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact. BACKGROUND: At the first meeting of each calendar year, the Board of Supervisors reorganizes, updates its rules of procedure, establishes the list of standing and ad hoc committees and appoints Board members to committees, and discusses prior year accomplishments and new year goals and challenges. Preparation for the annual reorganization meeting requires many weeks of staff effort, under the direction of the Board Chair. The Board of Supervisors votes to select its officers following a nomination process. Although not a requirement, the Board has rotated the offices of Chair and Vice Chair among the five members, i.e., each member would serve as Chair at least once during their term in office. The Chair serves as presiding officer of the Board; rules on questions of procedure; nominates for Board approval representatives to Board committees whose appointment is not otherwise provided for; signs resolutions, ordinances, contracts, leases and other official documents approved by the Board; preserves order CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4069,Version:1 and decorum; and decides all questions of order. The Chair may consult with County Counsel in making such rulings. Decisions of the Chair may be overruled by a majority vote of the Board of Supervisors. The Vice Chair has and may exercise all powers and duties of the Chair at the meetings at which the Chair is absent. If neither the Chair nor the Vice Chair is present at a Board meeting, the Board members present select one of their members to act as the Chair Pro Tempore. The Chair Pro Tempore shall have and exercise all the powers and duties of the Chair for that meeting only. Because the reorganization requires substantial thought and planning, early selection of new year officers permits the incoming Board Chair to take an active role in planning for the annual reorganization. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Planning and administration of the annual board reorganization may take longer to implement if the 2026 board officers are not decided in the fall of 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue from the increased Environmental Health Division Fees will recover the division’s reasonable costs to administer its non-public Small Water System Program, including staff costs and overhead expenses connected with those programs. There will be no impact to the General Fund. BACKGROUND: Regulation of Public Small Water Systems California has operated a public Drinking Water Protection Program since 1915. Beginning in 1976, the California drinking water program has been conducted under an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) that delegates primacy to the State. The State Water Resources Control Board (“State Water Board”) is responsible for regulating approximately 7,500 public water systems that provide drinking water to over 98 percent of California’s population. A “public water system” is a system for the provision of water for human consumption through pipes or other constructed conveyances that has 15 or more service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. (Cal. Health & Saf. Code, § 116275, subd. (h).) California Health and Safety Code sections 116270-116762.60 authorize the State Water Board to conduct ongoing surveillance and inspections of public water systems, to issue operational permits to the systems, to ensure water quality monitoring is conducted, and to take enforcement actions when violations occur. These include public water systems that supply small communities, as well as systems that supply restaurants, hotels, parks, schools, businesses, and similar “non-communities”. Until 1992, local health agencies and the state shared responsibility for regulating and permitting public small water systems (“SWSs”). Chapter 1248, Statutes of 1992 (“AB 2995”), required the state to take over the regulation of these systems. This law is now codified as California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) section 116270 et seq. Section 116565 establishes annual fees to be paid by SWSs. Section 116330 creates a process that allows the state to enter into delegation agreements with local health jurisdictions, making them responsible for regulating the SWSs. These agreements are termed Local Primacy Agency (“LPA”) delegation agreements and allow the counties to regulate SWSs with between 2 and 199 service connections. Contra Costa County entered into its first LPA delegation agreement in 1993. The County’s most recent LPA delegation agreement became effective on November 30, 2013 (“Attachment 3”) and was later amended by the State Water Board in January 2017 (“Attachment 4”). As of January 24, 2025, California has delegated primacy to 26 counties. The State Water Board regulates all public water systems in the remaining 32 counties, as well as those SWSs serving between 200 and 1,000 service connections in the LPA delegated counties. Local Primacy Agency Delegation Agreement for 75 Public Small Water Systems CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 2 of 8 powered by Legistar™ File #:RES 2025-317,Version:1 In Contra Costa County, there are currently 75 public SWSs delegated to the LPA with permits issued by the Contra Costa County Health Services Department, Environmental Health Division (“EH Division”). The public water systems delegated to the LPA are divided into the following categories and also defined by HSC section 116275: ·Community Water System (“CWS”): A public water system that serves at least 15 service connections used by yearlong residents or serves at 25 yearlong residents of the area served by the system. Examples of CWSs are rural mobile home parks, apartments, condominiums, and large residential subdivisions. CWSs account for 28 out of the 75 SWSs delegated to and regulated by the LPA. ·Transient, Non-community Water System (“TNCWS”): A public noncommunity water system that does not regularly serve at least 25 of the same persons over six months per year. Examples of TNCWSs are rural gas stations, restaurants, campgrounds, marinas, and churches. TNCWSs account for 42 out of the 75 SWSs delegated to and regulated by the LPA. ·Non-transient, Non-community Water System (“NTNCWS”): A public water system that is not a community water system and that regularly serves at least 25 of the same persons over six months per year. Examples of NTNCWSs are rural schools, office and industrial buildings, and businesses that have their own water systems. NTNCWSs account for 5 out of the 75 SWSs delegated to and regulated by the LPA. The EH Division as the LPA is authorized to collect fees to recover the costs of regulating these public SWSs. At the June 24, 2025 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board adopted fee updates for many EH Division programs but elected to revisit the SWS Program fee updates at a later date (“Resolution 2025-225”). As explained in the “Contra Costa County Health Services, Environmental Health Division Fee Study,” dated June 6, 2025, (“Attachment 1”), current EH Division SWS Program permit fees collected by the County are inadequate. Current fees only provide funding of $75,423 for the public SWS Program expenses but a funding of $244,751 is necessary to recover full costs of the public SWS program. Accordingly, there is a $169,328 deficit to the LPA. A significant increase to the EH Division permit fees is necessary to recover the full cost (salaries, benefits, overhead, etc.) of the LPA Program. Given the aforementioned $195,162 deficit, proposed fee increases range from 161% to 357%, depending on the fee category. Currently, many of the EH Division public SWS permit fees are higher than the State Water Board fees for comparable fee categories (see table below).

Many State Water Board regulated SWS permit fees are based on the number of service connections. Similar to the County, the fees collected by the State are used to support the activities related to SWSs regulated by the State. These fees are not used to support LPA counties. In 2020, LPA counties were hopeful about the proposed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2296, authorizing LPA counties to elect to participate in a funding stabilization program, administered by the State Water Board, to fund regulatory oversight of SWSs. Despite the California Association of Environmental Health Administrators’ (“CAEHA”) and Rural County Representatives of California’s (“RCRC”) efforts, AB 2296 was vetoed. The Governor's Veto Message indicated that “this bill would authorize LPA counties to elect to participate in a funding stabilization program, administered by the State Water Board, to fund regulatory oversight of small public drinking water systems. The goal of stabilizing the funding that is needed to assist LPAs with providing proper regulatory oversight of small water systems is laudable and fits into the state's overarching goal of achieving clean drinking water for every Californian. However, to the extent that LPA counties choose to participate in the new funding stabilization program authorized by the bill, the State Water Board would need to raise fees to cover the costs of the program. If participation among LPAs is high, the total funding needed from the Safe Drinking Water Account to administer the funding stabilization program would almost certainly exceed the statutory funding cap, and as a result, the State Water Board would be unable to implement the program.” Therefore, any fee increase implemented by the County would further exacerbate the disparity between what the County would charge and what the State charges for regulatory oversight of SWSs. Some of our SWSs are serving disadvantaged communities and during the formal 60-day public comment period earlier this year, the public stated that increasing their permit fees will affect their already scarce operating and maintenance funds, making it difficult to comply with current and new requirements. Currently, the permit fees for all public SWSs are paid through February 28, 2026, and are to be renewed March 1, 2026. If regulatory authority for the public SWSs is returned to the State by February 28, 2026, the public SWSs will not be subject to the increased fees. Accordingly, EH Division staff recommend returning the LPA program to the State, so that public SWS operators can take advantage of the lower permitting fees provided by the State Water Board and potentially benefit from opportunities to receive increased technical support and other funding opportunities. The operative LPA Delegation Agreement and HSC section 116330(c) (2) state that a local primacy delegation approved by the State Water Board shall remain in effect until the LPA provides 120-day advance written notice to the State Water Board that it no longer wishes to retain local primacy. As soon as the EH Division obtains authority from the Board to return the LPA program to the State, the EH Division will send a letter to the State to ensure that regulatory authority for public SWSs is reverted to the State by February 28, 2026. 34 Non-Public Small Water Systems Requiring Continued Regulation by Contra Costa Health There are 34 non-public SWSs regulated under the Health Officer’s authority in Contra Costa County. Non- public SWSs are regulated strictly by counties and have less stringent requirements than community water systems. There are two categories of non-public SWSs subject to the County Health Officer’s regulatory authority: (1) State Small Water System; and (2) Local Small Water System. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 4 of 8 powered by Legistar™ File #:RES 2025-317,Version:1 A State Small Water System is defined by HSC section 116275 as a system that serves at least 5, but not more than 14, service connections and does not regularly serve drinking water to more than an average of 25 individuals daily for more than 60 days out of the year. An example includes a small subdivision. Given the aforementioned definition of a State Small Water System and the Contra Costa County Ordinance Code section 414-4.221 definition of a SWS as a system which furnishes water for domestic purposes from 2 through 199 service connections, a Local Small Water System is interpreted as a system that serves between 2 and 4 service connections and does not regularly serve drinking water to more than an average of 25 individuals daily for more than 60 days out of the year. An example of a Local Small Water System includes 2 or three parcels sharing a water source. As explained in the “Contra Costa County Health Services, Environmental Health Division Fee Study,” dated June 6, 2025, (“Attachment 1”), current EH Division permit fees for Local Small Water Systems and State Small Water Systems that are collected by the County are inadequate. Current fees only provide funding of $14,790 for the non-public SWS Program expenses but the fee study projected that a funding of $40,624 is necessary to recover full costs of the program. However, if the regulatory authority for the public SWS programs is returned to the State, it will impact the ultimate cost for the non-public SWS programs because overall, less support is needed from employees to regulate a smaller number of SWSs. Accordingly, the labor cost will decrease as included in Appendix A.6. Specifically, the Department calculates the “Office Admin.” number in Appendix A.6 to decrease from 1.58 for both local small water system and state small water system to 0.25 each. Based on the calculation provided in Appendix A.6, the increased costs for Local Small Water Systems and State Small Water Systems are $474 and $910, respectively. An increase to the EH Division permit fees for these non-public SWSs is necessary to recover the full cost for regulation thereof. Accordingly, the EH Division proposes the following fees for the two non-public SWS Programs: Permit Type Unit Capacity Current Fees Recommended Fees Local Small Water System Connections 2-4 $348 $474 State Small Water System Connections 5-14 $522 $910 As the regulatory authority for these non-public SWSs remains with the County Health Officer, EH Division staff recommend that the Board adopt the above-referenced recommended fees, which are also included in the attached Resolution regarding updates to the EH Division fee schedule for all non-public SWSs, effective October 7, 2025. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the regulatory authority of public small water systems is not reverted to the State and Environmental Health Division’s current Small Water System Program fee schedule remains in place, regulated businesses, collectively, will pay less than the required necessary costs to administer this program, resulting in a significant deficit to the program. Additionally, even if the regulatory authority of public small water systems is reverted to the State but the fees for the non-public small water systems are not increased as recommended, the EH Division would not recover its reasonable costs of administering its regulatory program. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 5 of 8 powered by Legistar™ File #:RES 2025-317,Version:1 THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA and for Special Districts, Agencies and Authorities Governed by the Board IN THE MATTER OF ESTABLISHING AND ADJUSTING FEES FOR THE SMALL WATER SYSTEM PROGRAM CHARGED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION OF THE CONTRA COSTA HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors FINDS, as follows: A.California Health and Safety Code section 101325, Contra Costa County Ordinance Code section 413- 3.204, and other applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, authorize the County to adopt fees to recover the Health Service Department, Environmental Health Division’s (“EH Division”) costs to administer its Small Water System Program (“SWS Program”). B.Fees charged by the EH Division are intended to recover the reasonable regulatory costs to the County for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits connected with the SWS Program administered by the EH Division. The amounts of the EH Division’s fees are calculated to be no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the EH Division’s SWS Program, and the manner in which those costs are allocated to each fee payor bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the EH Division’s SWS Program. (Cal. Const., art. XIII C, § 1(e).) C.The EH Division’s operations and expenses connected with its SWS Program are intended to be financed entirely by revenues from fees imposed by the EH Division. Fees charged by the EH Division for various programs were last reviewed and adopted by the Board of Supervisors in Resolution No. 2025-225 in June 2025. However, at that time the Board elected to revisit the SWS Program fee updates at a later date. Therefore, the fees charged by the EH Division for the SWS Program have not been adjusted since the 2019 adoption of Resolution No. 2019/521. Since 2019, the EH Division’s costs to administer its SWS Program have increased. These increased costs include increases in personnel and overhead costs, as well as other expenses. Therefore, revenues from current fees are insufficient to recover the EH Division’s reasonable costs to administer its SWS Program. The fees need to be adjusted to ensure that they continue to bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the fee payors’ burdens on or benefits from the SWS Program administered by the EH Division, and to ensure the EH Division charges fees that recover the reasonable costs of administering the EH Division’s SWS Program. D.The Division contracted with independent financial consulting firm, NBS, to conduct a review of time accounting data to develop fees that are based on fully-burdened hourly rates aligned with the Division’s regulatory activities, as more particularly described in the NBS Fee Study, dated June 6, 2025 (“Fee Study”) attached as Attachment 1 to the Staff Report in support of this Resolution. The Fee Study determined that certain regulatory fees for programs require adjustment to ensure the EH Division’s fees continue to bear a fair and reasonable relationship between the fee payors’ burdens on or benefits from CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 6 of 8 powered by Legistar™ File #:RES 2025-317,Version:1 the regulatory activities for which the fees are charged, and also to ensure the EH Division is able to recover its reasonable costs of performing its regulatory activities. E.Based on the Fee Study, the Health Services Department, Environmental Health Division recommends that the Board of Supervisors direct the Department to return regulatory authority of public SWS Program to the State, and adopt the fee tables attached as Attachment A to this resolution (“Fee Schedule”) and incorporated herein, to establish fees to be charged for the EH Division’s SWS Program, including increased fees for the non-public SWS Program. The fees set forth in the Fee Schedule are calculated to recover the reasonable regulatory costs to the County for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits connected with those regulatory activities performed by the EH Division’s SWS Program. Additionally, based on the Fee Study, the fees set forth in the Fee Schedule are no more than necessary to recover the reasonable costs of EH Division’s activities, and the manner in which those costs are allocated to payors of the fees bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the EH Division’s activities. F.In accordance with Government Code section 66018, the EH Division caused a hearing notice to be published twice in the East Bay Times, on September 26, 2025, and October 3, 2025, to give notice of the October 7, 2025 hearing on the adoption of the Fee Schedule for the SWS Program. G.On October 7, 2025, the Board of Supervisors held a noticed public hearing on the EH Division’s proposed fee update for the SWS Program. The Board has considered all comments, testimony, and objections submitted verbally or in writing before the close of the public hearing. The Board of Supervisors has considered the Fee Study, the Fee Schedule, the Staff Report, staff presentation, public comments and testimony, any objections to the fees, and all other information and materials presented to the Board before the close of the public hearing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED 1.The Board FINDS that the fees set forth in the Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Attachment A, (a) are calculated to recover but not exceed the reasonable regulatory costs to the EH Division for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits in connection with the SWS Program administered by the Division, and (b) each of the fees bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each payor’s burdens on and benefits from the SWS Program administered by the EH Division. The Board further FINDS that the fees will recover the EH Division’s reasonable costs to administer its SWS Program, including the increased fees for the non-public SWS Program. 2.The Board ADOPTS the Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Attachment A, as the Fee Schedule for the EH Division’s SWS Program. The Fee Schedule attached hereto as Attachment A shall be effective as of October 7, 2025. 3.The Board AUTHORIZES the Health Services Director, or designee, to collect delinquent SWS Program permit fees, including penalties and the County’s administrative, legal, and collection costs, in accordance with Ordinance Code section 413-3.1206, and any other applicable ordinances and laws. 4.This Resolution is effective immediately upon its adoption on October 7, 2025. This Resolution CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 7 of 8 powered by Legistar™ File #:RES 2025-317,Version:1 supersedes and replaces the Small Water System fees established in Resolution No. 2025-225 in their entirety.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NBS performed a Fee Study (Study) for Contra Costa Environmental Health (CCEH), a Division of the Contra Costa County Health Services Department. The purpose of this report is to present the findings and recommendations of the various fee analyses performed as part of the Study and provide CCEH with the information needed to update and establish regulatory fees for service. Throughout the process, the Study afforded much effort to ensure that not only are the fees and charges reasonable and equitable, but that they also meet industry standards and uphold the statutory and Constitutional requirements of the State of California. California cities, counties, and special districts may impose regulatory fees for services and activities they provide through provisions set forth in the Health and Safety Code, Government Code, Public Resources Code, Water Code and California Code of Regulations and the police power under the California Constitution. Under this legal framework, a fee may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity. For a regulatory fee to qualify as a fee and not a tax, the estimated costs of the regulatory service or regulatory activity must be provided, and the basis for determining the manner in which the costs are apportioned must bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits from, the regulatory activity. Regulatory fees pay for the reasonable regulatory costs associated with operating a regulatory program, including issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections and audits, as well as other regulatory activities such as associated training, travel and overhead. CCEH’s main reason for conducting this Study was twofold: (1) first, to ensure that existing fees do not exceed the costs of service and bear a reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on or benefit from regulatory activity; and (2) second, to provide an opportunity for the Board of Supervisors to re-align fee amounts with localized cost recovery policies. 1.1 Findings This Study examined regulatory fees managed by the Contra Costa Environmental Health Division (CCEH). The Study identified an estimated $12.2 million in eligible costs for recovery from fees for service compared to approximately $9.1 million CCEH is currently collecting each year from fees. The table on the following page provides a summary of the Study’s results: Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 5 Table 1. Report Summary Should the Board adopt fees at the full cost recovery amounts determined by this Study, an additional $3.1 million in costs could be recovered, to recover the full costs of the regulatory programs. The fees have been calculated to ensure they remain proportional to a payor’s burdens on or benefits from the regulatory program. 1.2 Report Format This report documents the analytical methods and data sources used in the Study, presents findings regarding current levels of cost recovery achieved from proportional regulatory fees, and provides a comparative survey of fees to neighboring agencies for similar services. The report is organized into the following sections:  Section 2 - Outlines the general framework, approach, and methodology of the Fee Study.  Section 3 - Discusses the results of the cost of service analysis for each program including calculation of the fully burdened hourly rate, and calculation of the costs of providing service.  Section 4 - Presents the conclusions of the analysis provided in the preceding sections.  Appendices to this report - Include additional details of the analysis performed and a comparison of the fees imposed by neighboring agencies for similar services.

INTRODUCTION AND FUNDAMENTALS 2.1 Scope of Study The Contra Costa Environmental Health Division administers the following programs:  Solid Waste  Medical Waste, including safe drug disposal  Body Art  Commercial Cannabis  Land Use  Small Water Systems  Recreational Health  Retail Food, including detention facilities  Plan Review  General Program Fees The fees examined in this report focus on regulatory fees and other applicable fees for services, and specifically excludes fines and penalties imposed by CCEH for violations of its requirements or codes.1 2.2 Methods of Analysis Three phases of analysis were completed for the Environmental Health Division: 2.2.1 COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS This cost of service analysis is a quantitative effort that compiles the full cost of providing governmental services and activities. There are two primary types of costs considered: direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that specifically relate to an activity or service, including the real-time provision of the service. Indirect costs are those that support the provision of services in general but cannot be directly or easily assigned to a singular activity or service. Direct Costs:  Direct personnel costs – Salary, wages and benefits expenses for personnel specifically involved in the provision of services and activities to the public.  Direct non-personnel costs – Discrete expenses attributable to a specific service or activity performed, such as contractor costs, third-party charges, and materials used in the service or activity. 1 According to the California Constitution Article XIII C § 1 (e) (4) and (5), the CCEH is not limited to the costs of service when imposing fines and penalties. Cost of Service Analysis Fee Establishment Cost Recovery Evaluation Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 7 Indirect Costs:  Indirect personnel costs – Personnel expenses supporting the overall provision of services, including and not limited to line supervision, departmental management, administrative support, and time spent on general training related activities. These support activities cannot be identified to a single fee objective, but rather support the entire fee program as a whole.  Indirect non-personnel costs – Expenses other than labor involved in the provision of services. In most cases, these costs are allocated across all services provided by a department, rather than directly assigned to individual fee/rate categories.  Overhead costs – These are expenses, both labor and non-labor, related to County-wide support services. Support services include general administrative services such as County Administrator, Finance, Human Resources, etc. The amount of costs attributable to CCEH included in this Study were sourced from the CCEH Cost Allocation Plan published on the California State Controller Office website and adopted operating budget. All cost components in this Study use annual (or annualized) figures, representing a twelve-month cycle of expenses incurred by the Division in the provision of all services and activities County-wide. Nearly all the fees reviewed in this Study require specific actions on the part of CCEH staff to provide the service or conduct the activity. Since labor is the primary underlying factor in these activities, the Study expresses the full cost of service as a fully burdened cost per labor hour. NBS calculated a composite, fully burdened, hourly rate for the Environmental Health fee programs. This rate serves as the basis for further quantifying the average full cost of providing individual services and activities. Determining the fully burdened rate requires two data sets: (1) the full costs of service, and (2) the number of staff hours available to perform those services. The annual cost of providing services was derived from the earlier steps of the cost of service analysis described above. The number of staff hours available was determined through a review of a complete list of the County’s Environmental Health Division staff and/or available service hours of its contracted professionals (where applicable). CCEH also supplied the total number of paid labor hours for each employee involved in the delivery of services included in this Study. NBS reviewed documentation regarding basic types of leave such as vacation, sick, and holiday time to establish a Net Paid Productive Hours for each position. These “net” available hours represent the amount of time available to provide both fee-recoverable and non-fee recoverable services and activities. Time tracking records for the fee programs studied as part of this analysis, when available, proved useful in identifying time spent providing indirect categories of service (e.g., division administration, plan review, inspection, public information assistance, etc.), versus direct categories of service for individual fee for service activities. The annual full cost of providing fee for service activities divided by the available labor hours attributable to the fee program equals the composite, fully burdened hourly rate. The fully burdened rate was then applied at the individual fee level through further time data analysis to yield the average total cost of providing each fee for service or activity. NBS received three (3) fiscal years’ worth of time tracking data that was used to establish an average amount of time spent per year on each individual fee for service activity. This data was analyzed and then reviewed and revised carefully by the Division’s staff and managers. Based on the results of this review, CCEH reconsidered its time estimates until all parties were comfortable that the fee models reasonably reflected the average service level Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 8 provided. Where needed, NBS also assisted CCEH in estimating the average amount of staff time required for services that did not have tracked time data to rely upon or where the tracked time data did not reflect the reasonable level of effort required to perform the service. It should be noted that the development of these time estimates was not a one-step process but required careful review by both NBS and Division managers to assess the reasonableness of such estimates. 2.2.2 FEE ESTABLISHMENT The fee establishment process includes a range of considerations, including the following:  Addition to and deletion of fees – The Study provided the opportunity to propose additions and deletions to the current fee schedule, as well as to re-name, re-organize, and clarify fee names and categories as needed. Many of these fee revisions allow for better adherence to current practices, as well as for improvement in the calculation, application, and collection of the fees when administered by staff.  Revision to the structure of fees – In most cases, the focus was to re-align the fee amount to match the costs of service and leave the current structure of fees unchanged. However, in several cases, fee categories and fee names had to be simplified or re-structured to increase the likelihood of full cost recovery or to enhance the fairness of how the fee is applied to the various types of fee payers.  Documentation of the tools used to calculate special cost recovery – CCEH’s fee schedule should include the fully burdened rate developed by the Study. Documenting that rate in the fee schedule provides an opportunity for the Board of Supervisors to approve a rate for cost recovery under a “time and materials” approach, when needed. It also provides clear publication of the rate so that all fee payers can readily reference the basis of any fee amounts. The fee schedule should provide language that supports special forms of cost recovery for activities and services not included in the adopted master fee schedule. In these rare instances, the published hourly rate is used to estimate a flat fee or bill on an hourly basis, at the director’s discretion. 2.2.3 COST RECOVERY EVALUATION The NBS fee model compares the existing fee for each service or activity to the average total cost of service quantified through this analysis. Possible and typical outcomes of the fee analysis include:  No current recovery of costs from fee revenues (or insufficient information available for evaluation).  Partial recovery of the full cost of service through fees.  Fee exceeds the full cost of service. In all cases, Regulatory fees should not exceed the full cost of service. In most cases, imposing a fee above this threshold could change the definition of the charge from a cost of service based fee to a tax, which would require voter approval to implement. The purpose of any fee study is to establish the necessary and reasonable cost of providing regulatory services. For any fee that exceeds the full cost recovery outcome, the fee must be reestablished at no more than the full cost of service. Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 9 The County can decide upon the “recommended” or “target” level of cost recovery for each fee, established at either the full cost of service or any amount less than the calculated full cost of service. Targets and recommendations reflect discretion on the part of the agency based on a variety of factors, such as existing CCEH policies and County-wide or departmental revenue objectives, economic goals, community values, market conditions, level of demand, and others. 2.2.4 COMPARATIVE FEE SURVEY Policy makers often request a comparison of their jurisdictional fees to those of surrounding or similar communities. The purpose of a comparison is to provide a sense of market pricing for services, and to use that information to gauge the impact of recommendations for fee adjustments. NBS worked with CCEH to choose five comparative agencies – Alameda County, Sacramento County, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County and Sonoma County. The results of the comparison are detailed in Appendix C, and are for informational and comparative purposes only. It is important to keep the following in mind when interpreting the general approach to, and use of, comparative survey data:  Comparative surveys do not provide information about cost recovery policies or procedures inherent in each comparison agency.  A “market-based” decision to price services below the full cost of service calculation is the same as deciding to subsidize that service from other funding sources (e.g. General Fund monies).  Comparative agencies may or may not base their fee amounts on the estimated and reasonable cost of providing services. NBS did not perform the same level of analysis of the comparative agencies’ fees.  The results of comparative fee surveys are often non-conclusive for many fee categories due to comparative agencies using varied terminology for similar services and different fee setting methodologies. NBS made every reasonable attempt to source each comparison agency’s fee schedule from their respective websites and compile a comparison of fee categories and amounts for the most readily comparable fee items that match CCEH’s existing fee structure. 2.2.5 DATA SOURCES The following data sources were used to support the cost of service analysis and fee calculation phases of this Study:  The Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25  A complete list of all CCEH personnel, salary/wage rates, regular hours, paid benefits, and paid leave amounts provided by the Finance Department  Prevailing adopted fee schedules  Annual workload data (number of permits processed/services performed) The adopted budget serves as an important source of information that affects the cost of service results. NBS did not audit or validate CCEH’s financial documents and budget practices, nor was the cost Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 10 information adjusted to reflect different levels of service or any specific, targeted performance benchmarks. This Study accepts CCEH’s budget as a legislatively adopted directive describing the most appropriate and reasonable level of CCEH spending. NBS consultants accept the Board of Supervisors’ deliberative process and CCEH’s budget plan and further assert that through this legislative process, CCEH has yielded a reasonable and valid expenditure plan to use in setting cost-based fees. Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 11 3. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION The mission of the Contra Costa Environmental Health Division (CCEH) is to protect and promote the health of the people of Contra Costa County, through programs for safe food, safe water for drinking and recreation, and the sanitary management of wastes. CCEH is a regulatory agency that provides oversight for businesses and property owners to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Contra Costa County and our environment. CCEH is organized into various programs, summarized as follows:  Solid Waste – Enforcement of standards for the collection, handling, storage and disposal of residential, commercial and industrial solid waste.  Medical Waste – Services include conducting required inspections, complaint investigations, in-service training, and consultation to all generators of medical waste. Also includes review of stewardship programs for safe drug disposal.  Body Art – Services include conducting required inspections, complaint investigations, in- service training, and consultation to all generators of body art practitioners.  Commercial Cannabis – Regulation of commercial cannabis health permits required to conduct any type of commercial cannabis activity. This includes review of applications and unannounced inspections of cannabis operations.  Land Use – Ensures the compliance of wells & septic systems.  Small Water Systems – Regulation of small water systems, including small Public Water Systems and Non-Public Water Systems.  Recreational Health – Ensures that public swimming pools, spas, water recreation attractions and natural bathing places are maintained or operated in compliance with local and state regulations.  Retail Food – Ensuring that food establishments operate in compliance with Local, State and Federal regulations.  Plan Review – Ensures that all construction or remodeling of food and recreational health facilities conform to local and state regulations.  General Program Fees – Miscellaneous fees that are applicable to all programs, where required. 3.1 Cost of Service Analysis NBS developed a composite, fully burdened, hourly rate for CCEH as shown in Table 2 on the next page: Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 12 Table 2. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate CCEH incurs a total annual cost of approximately $14.6 million, of which approximately $12.8 million is eligible for recovery from fees for service. These costs are first offset by revenue from alternate funding sources such as grants, fines and penalties. Approximately $12.6 million remains targeted for recovery from fees for service. All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assume a fully burdened hourly rate of $376, rounded to the nearest dollar. 3.2 Fee Establishment The following is a summary of the overall changes to the CCEH fee schedule:  Solid Waste o Deletion of fees that are no longer used or needed, such as application fee. o Reorganization of fee categories or clarification of fee names to create a more user- friendly fee structure such as moving safe drug disposal to medical waste fee schedule.  Medical Waste: Deletion of fees that are no longer used or needed, such as application fee.  Body Art o Deletion of fees that are no longer used or needed, such as application fee. o Addition of new fee categories, notated as “New” in the Current Fee column of Appendix A.32 such as body art school plan review.  Commercial Cannabis: Deletion of fees that are no longer used or needed, such as application fee.  Land Use o Deletion of fees that are no longer used or needed, such as:  Application fee 2 Refer to Section 2.2, Methods of Analysis, for additional discussion on the Study’s approach to adding, deleting, and revising fee categories.

These fees are applicable to all programs where required. Contra Costa Environmental Health Fee Study 14 3.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation Appendix A.1 – A.10 presents the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis of fees for Contra Costa’s Environmental Health Division. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Description” list. Currently, CCEH is recovering approximately $9.1 million per year in revenue at the current fee amounts. At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, approximately $12.2 million would be recovered. Table 3. Cost Recovery Outcomes NBS provided a full cost of service evaluation and the framework for considering fees, while CCEH staff determined the appropriate cost recovery levels at or below full cost amounts.

CONCLUSION Based on the outcomes of the Cost of Service Analysis, Fee Establishment, and Cost Recovery Evaluation presented in this Study, the proposed Fee Schedule has been prepared by CCEH staff for implementation and included in the Division’s Staff Report to the Board of Supervisors. The adopted Fee Schedule should become a living document. The following are recommended best management practices for the County’s future consideration:  A fundamental purpose of the fee schedule is to provide clarity and transparency to the public and to staff regarding fees imposed by the CCEH. Once adopted by the Board of Supervisors, the fee schedule establishes fees that will be charged and supersedes all previous fee schedules.  A comprehensive review and analysis to the extent presented in this report is recommended on a periodic basis, approximately every three to five years. Conducting a comprehensive fee study is not an annual requirement, and only becomes worthwhile over time as shifts in organization, local practices, legislative values, or legal requirements result in significant change. In between comprehensive fee program reviews, CCCEH could consider recommending adjusting these fees on an annual basis to keep pace with negotiated wage increases for staff and cost increases for supplies. As discussed throughout this report, the intent of the proposed fee schedule is to improve CCEH’s recovery of costs incurred to provide individual services within the regulatory program. Predicting the amount to which any adopted fee increases will affect CCEH revenues is difficult to quantify. For the near- term, CCEH should not count on increased revenues to meet any specific expenditure plan. Experience with the revised fee amounts should be gained first before revenue projections are revised. However, unless there is some significant, long-term change in activity levels, proposed fee amendments should enhance cost recovery performance over time, providing CCCEH the ability to stretch other resources (e.g. General Fund monies) further for the benefit of the public at-large. Disclaimer: In preparing this report and the opinions and recommendations included herein, NBS has relied on a number of principal assumptions and considerations with regard to financial matters, conditions and events that may occur in the future. This information and assumptions, including CCEH’s budgets, time estimate data, and workload information from CCEH staff, were provided by sources we believe to be reliable; however, NBS has not independently verified such information and assumptions. While we believe NBS’ use of such information and assumptions is reasonable for the purpose of this report, some assumptions will invariably not materialize as stated herein and may vary significantly due to unanticipated events and circumstances. Therefore, the actual results can be expected to vary from those projected to the extent that actual future conditions differ from those assumed by us or provided to us by others.

California Health and Safety Code section 101325, Contra Costa County Ordinance Code section 413-3.204, and other applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, authorize the County to adopt fees to recover the Health Service Department, Environmental Health Division’s (“EH Division”) costs to administer its Small Water System Program (“SWS Program”). B. Fees charged by the EH Division are intended to recover the reasonable regulatory costs to the County for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits connected with the SWS Program administered by the EH Division. The amounts of the EH Division’s fees are calculated to be no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the EH Division’s SWS Program, and the manner in which those costs are allocated to each fee payor bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the EH Division’s SWS Program. (Cal. Const., art. XIII C, § 1(e).) C. The EH Division’s operations and expenses connected with its SWS Program are intended to be financed entirely by revenues from fees imposed by the EH Division. Fees charged by the EH Division for various programs were last reviewed and adopted by the Board of Supervisors in Resolution No. 2025-225 in June 2025. However, at that time the Board elected to revisit the SWS Program fee updates at a later date. Therefore, the fees charged by the EH Division for the SWS Program have not been adjusted since the 2019 adoption of Resolution No. 2019/521. Since 2019, the EH Division’s costs to administer its SWS Program have increased. These increased costs include increases in personnel and overhead costs, as well as other expenses. Therefore, revenues from current fees are insufficient to recover the EH Division’s reasonable costs to administer its SWS Program. The fees need to be adjusted to ensure that they continue to bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the fee payors’ burdens on or benefits from the SWS Program administered by the EH Division, and to ensure the EH Division charges fees that recover the reasonable costs of administering the EH Division’s SWS Program. D. The Division contracted with independent financial consulting firm, NBS, to conduct a review of time accounting data to develop fees that are based on fully-burdened hourly rates aligned with the Division’s regulatory activities, as more particularly described in the NBS Fee Study, dated June 6, 2025 (“Fee Study”) attached as Attachment 1 to the Staff Report in support of this Resolution. The Fee Study determined that certain regulatory fees for programs require adjustment to ensure the EH Division’s fees continue 2 to bear a fair and reasonable relationship between the fee payors’ burdens on or benefits from the regulatory activities for which the fees are charged, and also to ensure the EH Division is able to recover its reasonable costs of performing its regulatory activities. E. Based on the Fee Study, the Health Services Department, Environmental Health Division recommends that the Board of Supervisors direct the Department to return regulatory authority of public SWS Program to the State, and adopt the fee tables attached as Attachment A to this resolution (“Fee Schedule”) and incorporated herein, to establish fees to be charged for the EH Division’s SWS Program, including increased fees for the non-public SWS Program. The fees set forth in the Fee Schedule are calculated to recover the reasonable regulatory costs to the County for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits connected with those regulatory activities performed by the EH Division’s SWS Program. Additionally, based on the Fee Study, the fees set forth in the Fee Schedule are no more than necessary to recover the reasonable costs of EH Division’s activities, and the manner in which those costs are allocated to payors of the fees bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the EH Division’s activities. F. In accordance with Government Code section 66018, the EH Division caused a hearing notice to be published twice in the East Bay Times, on September 26, 2025, and October 3, 2025, to give notice of the October 7, 2025 hearing on the adoption of the Fee Schedule for the SWS Program. G. On October 7, 2025, the Board of Supervisors held a noticed public hearing on the EH Division’s proposed fee update for the SWS Program. The Board has considered all comments, testimony, and objections submitted verbally or in writing before the close of the public hearing. The Board of Supervisors has considered the Fee Study, the Fee Schedule, the Staff Report, staff presentation, public comments and testimony, any objections to the fees, and all other information and materials presented to the Board before the close of the public hearing. NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County hereby RESOLVES, as follows: 1. The Board FINDS that the fees set forth in the Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Attachment A, (a) are calculated to recover but not exceed the reasonable regulatory costs to the EH Division for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits in connection with the SWS Program administered by the Division, and (b) each of the fees bears a fair and reasonable relationship to each payor’s burdens on and benefits from the SWS Program administered by the EH Division. The Board further FINDS that the fees will recover the EH Division’s reasonable costs to administer its SWS Program, including the increased fees for the non-public SWS Program. 3 2. The Board ADOPTS the Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Attachment A, as the Fee Schedule for the EH Division’s SWS Program. The Fee Schedule attached hereto as Attachment A shall be effective as of October 7, 2025. 3. The Board AUTHORIZES the Health Services Director, or designee, to collect delinquent SWS Program permit fees, including penalties and the County’s administrative, legal, and collection costs, in accordance with Ordinance Code section 413-3.1206, and any other applicable ordinances and laws. 4. This Resolution is effective immediately upon its adoption on October 7, 2025. This Resolution supersedes and replaces the Small Water System fees established in Resolution No. 2025-225 in their entirety.

The Environmental Health Division administers the small water systems program. The fees being adjusted include fees for this regulatory program, specifically the fees for the non-public small water systems, i.e., local small water system and state small water system. It is proposed that the Board of Supervisors adopt adjusted fees in amounts determined in the “Contra Costa County Health Services, Environmental Health Division Fee Study,” dated June 6, 2025 for this regulatory program. A copy of the resolution and a copy of the fee study are available for review in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at 1025 Escobar Street, Martinez, California, (925) 655-2000 or clerkoftheboard@cob.cccounty.us. Members of the public may attend the Board of Supervisors meeting and participate in this public hearing in-person at 1025 Escobar Street, Martinez, California, on the date and at the time specified above. The public hearing will also be accessible to the public for participation via teleconference (Dial 669-900-9128, followed by Access Code 92253393385#) and Zoom.

(Greg Baer, Airports Director) Attachments:1. Exhibit A Rates and Charges Effective 10.7.25 Action ByDate Action ResultVer.Tally adoptedBOARD OF SUPERVISORS10/7/2025 1 Pass 5:0 To: Board of Supervisors From:Greg Baer, Director of Airports Report Title:Hearing to Consider New Rates and Charges for Buchanan Field Airport and Byron Airport. ☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee RECOMMENDATIONS: 1.OPEN the public hearing, ACCEPT public testimony, and CLOSE the hearing. 2.ADOPT Resolution establishing new hangar waitlist fee and gate access control card fee at the Buchanan Field Airport and Byron Airport. FISCAL IMPACT: The Airports Division operates as an Enterprise Fund and finances all of its operating costs from rents and other fees. The revised fee schedule is intended to cover costs for new and existing services provided by the Airports Division. The new Hangar Waitlist Fee and Gate Access Control Card Fee are expected to generate an additional $9,500 annually for the Airport Enterprise Fund. BACKGROUND: The most recent rates and charges for the County Airports were adopted on October 16, 2018, and include Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalators every 3 years. Two new fees are being introduced: a Hangar Waitlist Fee and a Gate Access Control Card Fee. The County’s Airports Division owns, maintains, and rents out 185 aircraft hangars comprised of small T- hangars and larger box hangars. Like most airports, County Airports staff maintains hangar waitlists for those desiring to house their aircraft at Buchanan or Byron Airport, or move to a different hangar based on size, location, or price point. Typically for airports, there is an administrative fee charged to be placed on a waitlist, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:RES 2025-318,Version:1 and it’s also common for an annual maintenance fee to be collected to account for the staff time required to manage the waitlists. The County has not yet had an established fee to maintain these lists that require staff’s routine attention. As evidenced through the County’s current practices, a free waitlist program inherently results in individuals remaining on a list who may not fully intend to accept a hangar when offered, resulting in an artificially long waitlist. Airports management and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) consider the waitlist details for certain business decisions; therefore, the waitlist accuracy is important. A waitlist program that includes annual updates by applicants as well as a maintenance fee will result in more precise waitlists. The Hangar Waitlist fee will consist of an initial $40 fee with an annual maintenance fee of $30. The Aviation Advisory Committee is recommending the establishment and implementation of this fee. The Airports Division currently charges a deposit for airport access gate cards that can be refunded. This system incurs significant staff time from the issuing of access cards and the issuing refunds for deposits. The Airport is requesting to terminate the deposit system in place and, instead, institute a $30 user fee for airport access gate cards. The institution of this fee will work towards achieving the County Airport’s dual goals of recovering its costs to operate the airports and sustain economic self-sufficiency as an enterprise fund. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the action is not approved, the current rates and charges will remain unchanged at the Buchanan Field Airport and Byron Airport and potential revenue generation will be missed.

FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: On April 11, 2025, Human Resources issued notice to IFPTE Local 21 of its intent to revise the specifications for the Assistant Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEWC), Associate Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEVA), Senior Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEHA), and Supervising Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEHC) classifications. On April 18, 2025, IFPTE Local 21 responded to the notice and requested to bargain the above-referenced revisions to these classification specifications. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4070,Version:1 From April 18, 2025, to July 3, 2025, representatives from the Contra Costa County (“County”) and IFPTE Local 21 (“the parties”) bargained the above-referenced revisions to these classification specifications and reached agreement on revisions to the Assistant Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEWC), Associate Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEVA), and Senior Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEHA) classification specifications. The parties did not reach agreement on the County’s proposed revisions to the Supervising Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEHC) classification specification. Specifically, the parties did not reach agreement on the County’s proposals to: (1) modify the Licenses Required minimum qualification to permit candidates who possess a Certified Construction Manager credential accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) certification and issued by Construction Management Association of America’s (CMAA) Construction Management Institute to qualify for the classification without possessing a valid State of California Certificate of Registration as an Architect or Professional Engineer; (2) modify the Experience minimum qualification to permit candidates with five years of progressively responsible architectural, engineering or project management experience to qualify for the classification without five years of full-time or equivalent experience as a professional architect or licensed engineer; (3) modify the Experience minimum qualification to permit candidates to substitute a Master’s Degree with a major in architecture, engineering, construction management, business administration, public administration or a closely related field and two additional years of qualifying experience to qualify for the classification without a license; and (4) modify the Experience minimum qualification to permit candidates to substitute five additional years of qualifying experience for the required license. The County’s rationale for the proposed revisions to the specification for the Supervising Capital Facilities Project Manager classification is the following: (1) the public sector capital facilities project management field is moving away from requiring incumbents to possess an architecture or engineering license to perform the work contemplated in the classification specification; (2) many of the most experienced external candidates for this classification do not possess an architecture or engineering license; and (3) the existing licensure requirement imposes an artificial restriction on the County’s ability to recruit and select the best candidates for the Supervising Capital Facilities Project Manager classification. On July 3, 2025, the parties jointly declared impasse over the County’s proposed revisions to the Supervising Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEHC) classification specification. IFPTE Local 21 did not request to submit the dispute to post-impasse mediation or factfinding. Accordingly, the Board of Supervisors may impose the County’s proposed revisions to the Supervising Capital Facilities Project Manager (NEHC) classification specification. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The job specification would not reflect updated tasks, minimum qualifications, and knowledge, skills, and abilities.

FISCAL IMPACT: None BACKGROUND: Triennial Building Code Cycle and Adoption of the 2025 California Building Code Since 2007, the State of California has adopted a new statewide building code every three years, known as the California Building Standards Code (CBSC). The California Building Standards Commission has now adopted and released the 2025 CBSC, replacing the 2022 CBSC. The 2025 CBSC includes the California Building, Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Energy, Wildland-Urban Interface, Historical Building, Existing Building and Green Building Standards Codes. These statewide codes will become effective January 1, 2026. The Department of Conservation and Development is responsible for enforcing the CBSC within the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County. Local agencies are not required to adopt the California Building Code, but must do so by adopting an ordinance if they propose to amend the statewide code (if not amended, the statewide code becomes effective without any action required by the local jurisdiction). Cities and counties have the authority to adopt amendments to the statewide code if such amendments are more restrictive than statewide code requirements and amendments must be accompanied by findings that the changes and modifications to the statewide code are reasonably CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4071,Version:1 necessary because of local climatic, topographical, geological or environmental conditions. Local amendments to the California Energy Code must also be approved by the California Energy Commission and must be accompanied by a finding that such amendments are cost effective. Contra Costa County has a history of adopting a limited number of amendments to the CBSC in past code cycles. Some of the County’s local amendments were established decades ago and address health and safety concerns related to local conditions such as seismic risks and unstable soils that occur throughout the County. In more recent years, the Board of Supervisors has also adopted local building code amendments addressing concerns related to climate change. These include increasing requirements for the installation of electric vehicle chargers and increasing energy efficiency standards for new residential and non-residential buildings. Recent Changes to State Law concerning Local Amendments to the State Building Code Recent changes to State law have placed new additional restrictions on the authority of local jurisdictions to amend the CBSC as it relates to the construction of new residential housing units. State budget legislation adopted at the end of June, AB 130, includes changes to the Health and Safety Code that limit the authority of local jurisdictions to adopt building code amendments related to the construction of new housing to those amendments already in effect as of September 30, 2025, with a few narrowly defined exceptions. These changes to local authority will remain in effect from October 1, 2025, until June 1, 2031. This means the County can continue its current code amendments into the new code cycle but is restricted in its authority to adopt new code amendments related to residential construction in the 2025 CBSC. Local jurisdictions retain broader discretion to adopt code amendments related to non-residential construction, subject to making the required findings. Development of 2025 Building Code Adoption Ordinance Staff in the Department of Conservation and Development, working closely with County Counsel, are currently drafting an ordinance for the Board of Supervisors to consider that would adopt the 2025 CBSC with local amendments. This process involves reviewing the new statewide code and determining which existing local code amendments should be eliminated or modified based on changes to the statewide code and which are still needed in their current form. In some areas, changes to the statewide code have made the State building code more restrictive, resulting in some of the County’s existing local amendments no longer being necessary. Staff are giving special attention to two areas of the 2025 CSBC that have been amended by the Board of Supervisors in recent code cycles: electric vehicle charging and the energy efficiency requirements in the energy code. These two areas are discussed in more detail below. Electric Vehicle Charging In the last code cycle, the Board of Supervisors amended the 2022 CBSC to increase the requirements for electric vehicle chargers for new multifamily residential and new non-residential construction. The current local amendments now in effect require 10% of parking spaces in both new multifamily residential and new non-residential developments to have an electric vehicle charger installed. While statewide code requirements for electric vehicle charging have increased somewhat in the new code, the County’s existing local amendment for multifamily developments remains necessary to ensure that all new multifamily developments are required to have at least 10% of parking spaces served by an electric vehicle charger under the 2025 CBSC. Therefore, staff recommend this local amendment be retained as part of the CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4071,Version:1 Board’s adoption of the 2025 CBSC. Similarly, the County’s existing local amendment for new non-residential construction continues to be necessary to ensure all such developments are required to have at least 10% of parking spaces served by an electric vehicle charger under the 2025 CBSC. However, the requirements in the 2025 CBSC now exceed the requirements of the County’s current local code amendment for office and retail developments specifically. The 2025 CBSC will require all new office and retail developments to have up to 15% of all parking spaces served by electric vehicle chargers. Staff recommend the Board retain those portions of the current local amendment that exceed state requirements to ensure at least 10% of parking spaces are equipped with an electric vehicle charger for all new non-residential developments. Energy Efficiency Requirements for New Buildings The current local amendments to the California Energy Code adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2024 increase the energy efficiency requirements for new residential and non-residential buildings above the minimum requirements of the 2022 CBSC, which remains in effect until the end of 2025. However, the requirements in the new 2025 California Energy Code, which will become effective January 1, 2026, exceed the requirement of the County’s current local code amendments. Therefore, the County’s existing local amendments will no longer be needed under the new code and staff recommend these amendments be removed from the County’s code adoption ordinance. As described above, State law now restricts the County’s authority to adopt new building code amendments that impact residential construction. The Board of Supervisors retains broader authority to consider new amendments impacting non-residential construction. However, any new Energy Code amendments would require approval from the California Energy Commission and would need to be supported by a finding that the requirements imposed by the local amendments are cost effective. Currently, no cost effectiveness studies exist that would support such a finding. In past code cycles, the California Public Utilities Commission funded cost effectiveness studies of energy code amendments to assist local jurisdictions to determine if such amendments were cost effective, but such studies are not yet available for the 2025 code. Therefore, staff cannot recommend any amendments to the 2025 California Energy Code at this time. Local amendments to the California Energy Code could be considered in the future once cost effectiveness data becomes available. Staff recommend the Board direct staff to monitor this issue and report back to the Sustainability Committee in 2026. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Board does not receive the report, staff will not receive direction needed to prepare a building code adoption ordinance to implement the 2025 California Building Code with local amendments.

FISCAL IMPACT: The project is funded by the Land Development Fund. No impact to the General Fund. BACKGROUND: On November 5, 2024, the Board adopted the Contra Costa County 2045 General Plan, establishing a comprehensive, long-range vision for the County's future. The General Plan directs the County to undertake a comprehensive update of its Zoning Code (primarily Title 8 of the County Ordinance Code) to implement the Plan's goals and policies. This project represents the first comprehensive overhaul of the County's zoning regulations since they were first adopted in 1947. The Zoning Code is the primary tool for implementing the General Plan, and State law mandates that it must be consistent with a local jurisdiction’s General Plan. The current zoning code has been amended in a piecemeal fashion over many decades, resulting in a document that is often unintuitive, difficult for the public and staff to navigate, and inconsistent with the modern land use policies established in the 2045 General Plan. As detailed in the Zoning Update Report, which your Board reviewed in June 2024, this project aims to create a modern, user-friendly, and legally consistent Zoning Code. The primary goals of the update are to: ·Align regulations and procedures with the 2045 General Plan’s vision, goals, policies, and actions. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4072,Version:1 ·Ensure the Code is accessible and easy to use for residents, business owners, and applicants. ·Establish a clear, transparent, and predictable planning review process. ·Support zoning regulations that reflect contemporary development patterns and best practices in community planning. Staff is now bringing forward the following three foundational components of the project for the Board's initial feedback and direction before proceeding with detailed drafting and extensive public outreach. Public Outreach Plan Effective public engagement is critical to the success of this project. Staff has developed an Outreach Plan that builds upon the extensive community input received during the 2045 General Plan process. The plan outlines a multi-phased strategy to engage and inform a wide range of stakeholders, including the general public, community organizations, Municipal Advisory Councils (MACs), the Planning Commission, and this Board. The outreach process is designed to be a "living document," allowing for flexibility and refinement as the project progresses. Key objectives include raising awareness of the update's purpose, educating stakeholders on significant proposed changes, and soliciting substantive feedback on the draft code before its final adoption. Zoning Code Organization A primary goal of this update is to make the Zoning Code more accessible and logical. The current code's organization is unintuitive, with regulations for a single project often spread across multiple divisions and even different titles of the Ordinance Code. Staff proposes a comprehensive reorganization to create a streamlined, user-friendly framework. Key changes include: ·Consolidating Zoning Districts: The current code contains 37 base zoning districts, including nine distinct single-family residential districts. Staff proposes consolidating these districts to directly align with the more streamlined Land Use Designations in the 2045 General Plan. This will simplify the zoning map and make development standards easier to understand. The current proposal would include one residential zoning district for each residential land use designation from the General Plan. ·Improving Accessibility: The new code will make extensive use of modern formatting tools such as tables, matrices, lists, and illustrative diagrams. This will replace long narrative text, making it significantly easier for applicants and the public to find and understand development standards like setbacks, height limits, and permitted uses. ·Logical Structure: The code will be reorganized from the current 11 divisions into a more intuitive 5- division structure. All planning and entitlement procedures will be consolidated into Title 8 (Zoning) to create a single point of reference for applicants. Specific Plans and Areawide P-1 Districts Over the past several decades, the County has adopted numerous Specific Plans and areawide P-1 zoning districts for various communities. As shown on the map in the presentation, these plans create an additional, and often duplicative, layer of regulation. Many are now significantly outdated, with some dating back to the 1970s, and contain development standards and policies that may not reflect the vision outlined in the 2045 General Plan. This forces staff, applicants, and the public to navigate three separate sets of documents (the CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4072,Version:1 General Plan, the Zoning Code, and the Specific Plan) for a single project, creating confusion and inefficiency. Staff proposes to streamline this complex system by retiring these standalone documents and integrating their relevant and still-applicable provisions into the County's primary regulatory documents. This will be done through a careful, community-by-community analysis to ensure that unique local objectives are preserved. The proposed methodology is as follows: ·General Plan: High-level goals and policies will be incorporated into the Community Profiles section of the General Plan. ·Zoning Code: Permitted land uses and unique development standards (e.g., parking requirements near a BART station) will be integrated into the new base zoning districts and new overlay zones. ·Objective Design Standards: Specific design criteria (e.g., building materials or fencing requirements) will be incorporated into a set of countywide Objective Design Standards. This approach will eliminate outdated and redundant regulations while preserving the core vision of each plan in a more accessible framework, ultimately creating a more efficient and predictable process. CONCLUSION The Comprehensive Zoning Code Update is a foundational project that will serve as the primary implementation tool for the County's 2045 General Plan for decades to come. Staff seeks the Board's early direction on the proposed outreach plan, code organization, and strategy for specific plans to ensure the project proceeds in a manner that reflects the Board's vision for a modern, efficient, and user-friendly regulatory system. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Board does not accept the report, the Department of Conservation and Development will not move forward with the next step of Comprehensive Zoning Code update. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 3 of 3 powered by Legistar™ Contra Costa County 2024 Contra Costa County Comprehensive Zoning Code Update Outreach Plan Draft | October 2025 Prepared By: ORANGE COUNTY • BAY AREA • SACRAMENTO • CENTRAL COAST • LOS ANGELES • INLAND EMPIRE www.placeworks.com Contra Costa County – Comprehensive Zoning Code Update – October 2025 1 INTRODUCTION Envision Contra Costa continues its transformative work with the first comprehensive update to the County’s Zoning Code (Title 8) since its initial adoption in 1947. The update will align the Zoning Code with the long-term vision in the adopted 2045 General Plan, creating a clearer, more intuitive framework to support environmental justice, community health, economic development, and sustainability. It will also include related amendments to Titles 2 (Administration) and 9 (Subdivisions) to ensure consistency and usability for both County staff and the public. The 2045 General Plan guides decisions about zoning, development, and other land use or regulatory matters, and is built around goals, policies, and actions that must be implemented to achieve the community’s vision for the future. Preparation of the General Plan included extensive community outreach and engagement, with the County holding or participating in over 170 public and community-organized meetings to discuss the General Plan and zoning with residents, community advocates, stakeholders, and public officials. Input and direction from the public and County officials were incorporated into each component of the General Plan and also resulted in many General Plan actions calling for specific changes to the Zoning Code. These actions are a significant focus of the comprehensive Zoning Code update. This Outreach Plan serves as a guide for engaging County officials, Municipal Advisory Councils, key stakeholders, and the general public as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code update process. An overview of the approach is provided in Table 1, with the steps that comprise the Zoning Code update process and specific outreach objectives, activities, and target groups for each step. A brief discussion of engagement for the main target groups follows the table. The Outreach Plan is a “living document” that may be modified over the course of the work program.

The focus of the meeting is educating the public on the proposed significant changes to the Zoning Code, with information provided on how the changes reflect planning priorities the public identified during the General Plan Update process. The virtual community meeting and other opportunities for public involvement and input will be publicized, including via eblast announcements, the webpage, social media, and a news release. KEY STAKEHOLDERS Engagement with key stakeholders could include targeted discussions regarding development standards (e.g., residential development standards), land uses, and permit processing requirements. Some stakeholder input may be most effectively gathered in 1:1 interviews. Developers, for example, are likely to be more forthcoming 1:1 rather than in a room with their competitors. Online surveys or email questionnaires may be most useful as follow-up to refine or clarify content that has already been discussed. POTENTIAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS ▪ “Expert Users” (e.g., applicants and property owners familiar with the Code and the County’s regulations and processes) ▪ Affordable Housing Developers ▪ Market-Rate Housing Developers ▪ Commercial, Office, and/or Mixed-Use Developers ▪ Housing Advocates ▪ Environmental Advocates ▪ Industrial Users ▪ Real Estate Agents ▪ Business Owners ▪ Farmers MUNICIPAL ADVISORY COUNCIL S COUNTY PLANNING COMMISION AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra Costa County – Comprehensive Zoning Code Update – October 2025 4 Engagement with the County Planning Commission (CPC) and Board of Supervisors (BOS) could include 1:1 briefings and public study sessions.

FISCAL IMPACT: Staff costs associated with this work are expected to be modest ($15,000 to $30,000) and may be accomplished utilizing existing staff and budget. BACKGROUND: Noise concerns are frequently raised by members of the public. Specific noise complaints are reported to Board of Supervisors offices, DCD Code Enforcement, the Sherriff’s Office and other departments. These complaints often relate to large events, loud parties and construction, but other noise concerns are also raised. Community noise concerns have been discussed repeatedly at some Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings. The County has existing regulations to address noise but the County’s regulations are not comprehensive and thus the exploration of expanded regulations was considered necessary to evaluate the possibility of additional regulations. On March 5, 2024, DCD staff was authorized by the Board of Supervisors to evaluate whether additional regulations of noise are necessary and practical. The Board direction included proposed outreach to the MACs via letters and a follow-up survey with noise-related questions to ascertain to the community concerns regarding various types of noise impacts typically found in the communities. On June 14, 2024, a memo was CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4073,Version:1 mailed to all MACs that included a request from all interested individuals to fill out an online survey linked in the memo. Following the conclusion of the time specified for submitting responses to the survey, DCD staff hosted an open, public, working group meeting on September 19, 2024, with concerned stakeholders to discuss the findings from the survey and have a broader dialogue regarding noise-related issues. Subsequently, the community input was reviewed, and DCD staff coordinated a meeting with the Sherriff’s Office in the spring of 2025 to ascertain the feasibility of enforcing any potential new regulations. On July 8, 2025, a follow-up working group meeting was hosted by DCD staff to discuss a preliminary proposal to address specific areas of noise-related concerns with the implementation of additional regulations. The purpose of this report to the Board of Supervisors is to summarize the key findings from the public outreach and staff’s evaluation and to present the staff recommendation for developing targeted new regulations to supplement existing requirements. Summary of Public Engagement, Staff Analysis and Recommendations The attached slide presentation summarizes the public engagement effort, input received, staff analysis of enforcement constraints and the staff recommendation. Additional detail on the survey response is provided in the materials for the September 24, 2025 working group meeting. (A table with all the responses to the free response questions is also attached). As presented in the slides, the staff recommendation is as follows: 1.Outdoor Amplified Sound Proposed regulations to prohibit all outdoor amplified sound after 10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and after 8:00 p.m. on other nights. Proposed regulations would be consistent with existing prohibitions on amplified sound in the Temporary Events Ordinance but would apply whether or not there was a gathering or “event”. Propose clarifying that amplified sound be considered outdoor if emanating from an indoor location but doors or windows are left open. 2.Construction-Related Noise Propose new regulations to apply construction work hours to all projects requiring a building permit. Precise limitations to be determined as regulations are drafted. Currently, construction work hour limitations are only imposed on projects that require some form of discretionary approval. A process to provide limited exceptions and afford some flexibility should be evaluated for possible inclusion. New regulations are proposed to be enforceable by both DCD and Sheriff’s Office. A wide range of enforcement options, including citations and administrative fines, would be explored for inclusion. Next Steps Board direction to staff is requested. Should DCD be directed to move forward with developing new noise regulations, staff will develop a draft ordinance pursuant to the Board’s direction and present the draft ordinance and staff analysis to the County Planning Commission to receive public input and Commission CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4073,Version:1 recommendations. Following presentation to the Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors would consider the draft ordinance, staff analysis, public input and Planning Commission’s recommendations at a public meeting. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: DCD would not move forward with the exploration of establishing new noise related regulations. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 3 of 3 powered by Legistar™ To: Board of Supervisors From: John Kopchik, Director, Conservation and Development Report Title: Consider Authorization of Public Outreach Regarding Noise Related Issues ☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee RECOMMENDATIONS: AUTHORIZE Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) staff to evaluate whether additional regulation of noise is necessary and practical and report back to the Board of Supervisors with its findings and recommendations. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff costs associated with this work are expected to be modest ($15,000 to $30,000) and may be accomplished utilizing existing staff and budget. BACKGROUND: Noise concerns are frequently raised with the County by members of the public. Specific noise complaints are reported to Board of Supervisors offices, DCD Code Enforcement, the Sherriff’s Office and other departments. These complaints often relate to large events, loud parties and construction, but other noise concerns are also raised. Community noise concerns have been discussed repeatedly at some Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings. DCD and Sherriff’s Office staff have been invited to attend these meetings to make presentations and hear community concerns. Concern with noise issues and calls for a “noise ordinance” were expressed at community meetings convened by Supervisors and DCD as part of the Envision Contra Costa Process to gather input for the ongoing update to the County’s General Plan and subsequent update to the County’s Zoning Code. The County has existing regulations to address noise, and in fact has recently expanded regulation to address the emerging problem of loud commercial events. But the County’s regulations are not comprehensive. Expanding regulation of noise and effectively enforcing would be challenging but is worthy of further evaluation. Existing Regulation, Gaps in Regulation and Challenges The current County General Plan has noise standards appropriate for various land use designations. Land use permits and other discretionary permits issued by the County must be consistent with these standards. In addition, the County’s Temporary Events Ordinance, first adopted in 2005, addresses noise for gatherings large enough to qualify as “events” under the Ordinance (e.g. 75 or 150 or more persons, depending upon the zoning district), establishes specific noise limitations by time of day and prohibits amplified sound at certain periods of the night and morning. The Board tightened these regulations on June 7, 2022, when it adopted Ordinance No. 2022-23, an urgency interim ordinance that was intended to address a proliferation of loud commercial events, particularly in rural areas of the County, by clarifying definitions and reducing exceptions. On April 26, 2022 the Board also increased the fines MARCH 5, 2024 associated with violation of the Temporary Events Ordinance to match the recently-increased state limits. DCD staff and Sherriff’s Office staff collaborated to increase enforcement efforts of the expanded regulations. With respect to construction noise and hours, DCD imposes such limitations in discretionary permits. The standard construction window imposed is 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, and prohibited on State and Federal holidays. The County’s Grading Ordinance limits the work hours for grading activity. However, for construction projects that do not require a discretionary permit or do not involve grading, there are no limitations on construction hours. The County’s Draft General Plan released on October 17, 2023 (and currently open for public comment through April 8, 2024) includes the following proposed Action related to noise: HS-A14.1 Study the feasibility of adopting a noise ordinance establishing maximum exterior noise levels at sensitive receptors for noise generated by permanent and temporary stationary, non-transportation sources and construction sources. The feasibility of a noise ordinance relates primarily to challenges with enforcement. Concerns raised regarding noise can be related to sounds or vibrations occurring outside of typical working hours when DCD staff may not be available to respond and investigate (or when Sherriff staff resources may be limited). Additionally, some noise and vibrations occur intermittently and irregularly which could complicate enforcement. Further, establishing and upholding the threshold for an unreasonable level of noise can also pose challenges regarding measurements of such noise for duration of the activity. Finally, the cost of enforcing such an ordinance, primarily with respect to increased demand for staff time, are not currently known but could be significant. Proposed Process For Collecting Community Input and Assessing Options DCD staff will write a letter to each Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) providing background and explaining the County’s desire to better understand community concerns. A follow-up survey with noise-related questions will be sent to the MACs with a request for a response. DCD staff will attend a meeting with each MAC, if requested, to provide additional opportunities for public input regarding specific community-related noise issues that may not have been addressed in the initial survey. DCD staff will consult other jurisdictions that have adopted noise ordinances to understand common issues, responses and enforcement. Staff will also coordinate with the Sherriff’s Office and County Counsel to evaluate options for additional regulations, including enforcement capabilities. DCD staff will work through the MACs to invite interested people to join a countywide work group to dive deeper into the issues, including identifying which noise concerns are of highest priority and discussing enforcement challenges, as well as provide additional input. Staff will collect the findings and concerns expressed from MAC members, stakeholders and other interested persons within the County and draft a report on the noise related issues raised to be presented to the Board at a later date. Staff currently estimates this could occur in the second half of 2024. Staff will also make recommendations on options for follow-up actions to the Board based on the information presented. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: DCD would not reach out to the community for input on noise issues and would not analyze and report back on regulatory options. 2024 Noise Issues Survey: Complete List of All Responses to Free Response Questions If you selected other noise sources that are a significant or moderate concern, can you please provide any specific instances of noise concern (activities, events, source of noise, etc.)? Traffic noise on Arlington Blvd, especially during morning and evening rush hour Our area, like much of our region, has multiple hills and valleys which serve to focus sound. A bar approximately half a mile from us can seem like it is next door when they play loud music. Sometimes our neighbors hold parties. That can keep us up until late at night, but it has not reached the level where it is worth potentially coming to bad relations with them. Other members of our community, however, have suffered intensively and have called the sheriffs multiple times, with little to show for it. I hear these accounts at our local MAC meetings and the impact is very high. Fireworks are going off in Discovery Bay frequently not only NYE, Memorial Weekend, July 4 and Labor Day but many weekends. Having so many AirBnBs adds to this problem. Please make tough ordinances to stop the fireworks and limit the short term rentals. Gas-powered landscaping tools such as leaf blowers should be totally banned. In fact, all leaf blowers should be completely banned. I used a broom instead of blowing dirt into the air and onto other people’s property. ATV, Motorcycles, fireworks Private helicopters owned by neighbors. Terrified my chickens. Tuning vehicles in metal sheds. Batting practice in metal sheds. Big rigs driving on the other side of camino, Diablo, that are not ag weekends with leaf blowers/mowing before 8:00 am Motorcycle racing- Constant fireworks being set off during the summer months. Illegal exhaust, illegal weapon discharge loud banging that sounds like a big pieces of metal clashing in the middle of the night People walking in the neighborhood pulling carts, trash cans or other items making awful noise in the night. Parties til late midnight, dogs barking any time at night and fire works. Cars and trucks, fireworks Motorcycles (mainly Harleys) tearing up and down Main Street from around 9:30 p.m. on after too many drinks at the bar. 1) Non-licensed motorcycles/vehicles running up and down the streets by kids/young adults 2) Airplane noise from lengthy aerobatic practice from planes practicing dives and spins over the community airspace. Loud auto and motorcycle engines! If you are near one it can hurt your ears and set off car alarms. And we have lots of them here in El Sobrante, every day. They are used in "Sideshows" but roar up Appian Way singly every day. Side shows, cars racing on San Pablo Dam Rd. Fireworks not related to July 4 Side shows/ donuts and the never ending illegal fireworks Very Loud Cars and Motorcycles. Also Dogs and except during July 2-6: Fireworks. Fireworks throughout the night Fireworks and Dogs barking sideshows All vehicles that REV to cause havoc, backfiring. M-40, 80, and 1000’s shakes house all hrs going on 3 mo, daily, all hrs 24/7. “Party”, venues, until early, to all night, no enforcement. BANDS! SCREAMING! ATTENDEES! Sheriff, O enforcement! next door neighbor works on engines - car, trucks, boat, motorcycle in front yard; noise of loud vehicles that visit house; modified mufflers on vehicles; hot rodding; music blaring from open jeep; firecrackers; very loud firecracker bombs Caliber charter school in Tara Hills uses outdoor PA system to blast announcements and “pump up” the students on a daily basis. They also play music for various events throughout the year. The school was originally built for 400 students, and they have 900+ students, so they gather all students outside for announcements because their auditorium has max capacity of 400. Some events last for hours. I can hear the announcements and music from 1.5 blocks away, inside my home with doors and windows closed. I’ve worked with the school to remedy the situation, but it’s an ongoing battle. Also, loud parties held in the neighborhood have been an issue, BOTH during the day and evenings. Some just blast music, and others have live bands. Are there types of noise regulations that you would be concerned about when applied to your home or business? For example, limitations and associated fines for violating standards in the following areas: construction hours, leaf blowers and other loud landscaping tools, amplified music and other noise at outdoor gatherings and parties (large and small) and commercial establishments such as bars, restaurants, repair shops, etc. N/A No. No concerns The amplied music is the biggest issue when it comes to parties since there are some crowds that go all night Vehicle music and noise Bethel Island is a recreational community. I want larger fines on amplified music and outdoor gatherings. The recurring offenders are renting out their properties for events. Current fines are much less than property owners receive to rent their properties out for these unpermitted events. Amplified music lighting including laser lighting from events/parties in my community that are typically taking place without the necessary temporary event permits Amplified music, parties, barking dogs No no No No AmplifiedAmplified music and other noise at outdoor gatherings and parties. We are a farm. I would hope roosters, goats, donkeys, peafowls etc. would continue to be allowed. Na Businesses and for profit parties yes, i would like reasonable allowances for parties with amplified music until 10:00 pm on week days and weekends.days. No, I follow decent courtesy. Would not have a huge party/festivals by (for profit ) I think planned outdoor events are great for building community and think they should be encouraged rather than restricted. No No Limitation on hours NA Would be nice to have a warning first and if it’s ignored then a fine. No Any type of loud noise should stop maximum 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. Sunday thru Thursday and 10:00 p.m. (or earlier) on Friday and Suturday. Some of us still have to get up very early to go to work. I do not live near any establishments likely to produce such noise. no No No Fines for my answer #3 As long as there are appropriate hours for construction/lawn equipment we are not worried about limitations Amplified music and loud parties going past 10PM . When the violation occurs and is reported Law Enforcement should have the neccessary written repercussions when dealing with the violators addressing the complaint For me I think specific hours are necessary for construction, leaf blowers, etc. For example, should be used only between 7am - 7pm. But for loud music and announcements, there should be a maximum decibel determined, so it is measurable. Also, the local sherrif's office needs to have some enforcement mechanism, like first complaint is a "warning". Second complaint is a violation with small fine. Third complaint, should be a large fine, with potential other ramifications. Basically, the regulations need to be specific, measurable AND enforceable for the police. Early morning and afternoon amplified sounds,music and announcements Exempt occasional parties and music from regs Noise regulations can be difficult to enforce because nuisances occur during nights and weekends when limited enforcement staff are either off work or busy protecting public safety. Do you have input to share on how these constraints should be addressed as the County considers its options in this area? I am more concerned about the traffic noise during the work day. East Richmond Heights is very quiet at night and on weekends. I think that the natural enforcement is the sheriffs office, which is already interacting in this without much effect. One could equip them with decibel meters and resources to train and maintain calibration and they could write citations. If money were involved it would have an actual impact. This question seems to be a way for the County to avoid its responsibility to ensure the safety of its residents. "Nights and weekends" doesn't necessarily apply to the "construction" and "leafblower" choices in question #2 in this survey. The noise concerns in El Sobrante are predominantly due to parties and other events. The reponse would be from the Sheriff's office. There needs to be a way to stop the party while its happening, whether its with other agencies aiding. There are been horrible accidents where these parties have been. Maybe enforcing check points at/near where these parties are to reduce the amount of drunk drivers? 😊😊 Why not have code enforcement officers work the weekends when these illegal events are happening? Give them time off during the week in exchange. It takes some burden off law enforcement officers who are handling other matters on the weekends Setting noice decibel limits is difficult but establishing hours when loud noises are not permitted is an effective first step for parties and construction i.e noise restriction in Diablo from 10 pm - 8 am. For leaf blowers an easy solution is to require electric blowers. Carmel by the Sea has outlawed gas leaf blowers and the gardeners have adjusted without much issue. My own gardener just shrugs his shoulders when I ask about the regulation Make the fines high enough to fund more officers. Require STRs (eg airbnb) to have business licenses. The license should prohibit loud parties and provide for higher fines and revocation of the business license at the second offense. You might have to make a big deal of enforcement to start so that people understand that noise regulations carry consequences. There are plenty of people who would probably volunteer to report noise makers. People are afraid to report and feel safer if there is a way to report issues anonymously. Perhaps there is a way to give warnings the first time, and a fine subsequently. If staff isn't available, maybe there are ways to document the issues and report later. Some kind of decibel readers, video or audio recordings. Maybe when people call in about the noise especially when it's still going on after 10:00 p.m. that at least incident report should be made and the offending people should be addressed the following day. Enforcement priorities are understandable, but when individuals break the law flagrantly, such as setting off fireworks, and no enforcement action is taken it emboldens them. One weekend and/or as needed Code Enforcement should work a Saturday night wand target problem areas.Fines should be paid within 30 days and/or added to tax bills instead of a lien that I believe is what is happening now Have a Sheriff or CHP officer randomly park at the far north end of Main Street (by the caboose) in Byron between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. on a Friday or Saturday night. Allowing loud voices amplified sound for house parties is unreasonable, no matter the time. IMO it causes the majority of the problems. My other fireworks and vehicle reckless driving noises fall under public safety. In El Sobrante, the common complaint is loud music/parties/events, which take place primarily on the weekends. Our default response is to call the Sheriff's office so that there can be some sort of enforcement. I realize noise complaints are a low priority, but I believe that they should be enforced like any other law, and there are sufficient officers on staff to respond. This is a non-issue. I’ve lived in ERH for nearly 7 years and work from home. I can’t think of a single time when a noise regulation would have helped. Perhaps a hotline specifically for noise problems. No Make the penalties so high, e.g. for fireworks, that people don't want to risk it. Allow police to tag homes so the homeowner is responsible, too, if the tenants misbehave. The venues, parties making noise, maybe drunk,drugged, and disorderly, block driveways, leave cigarette butts, all kinds of crazy stuff, all kinds of safety issues. Yeah, how about enforcing, and serve and protect, EVERYONE. Provide a process for the community to document and submit complaints. Similar to the CCC code enforcement site, where residents can submit code violations. But include a way to upload photos, video, or screen shot of decibel reader outside the event. Are there any additional noise related concerns or questions specific to your community that have not been previously addressed in this survey? N/A This is a safety issue as it becomes a point of discord between neighbors, which in the worst case situation can lead to violence. A regulation could lead to imposition of fines and thus some level of deterrence to offenders, too much traffic using Knightsen Ave as a freeway and communiting to and from the Oakley area. How can we enforce Oakley to aid in the amount of cars and lack of regulating that their excess building has caused? There is very poor coordination between Code Enforcement and the a sheriff’s office. Sheriffs are not trained to deal with these events or even define an event has been illegal. Many times when neighbors are dealing with noise issues, they try to talk to their neighbor about their offending noise behavior, only to potentially put them selves at risk in harms way. There are noise limitations on airb&b properties but an owned property next door can have loud parties until well after midnight. We have that situation in our neighborhood. People would like for there to be a response and consequences that curbs the bad behaviors of noisy neighbors. They are feeling hopeless that they have to continue to suffer with lack of sleep and annoyances. They need some kind of recourse in order to live peacefully with others. Maybe some kind of PR campaign to let people know about community standards would be helpful. We need ENFORCEMENT STAFF on SATURDAY NIGHTS. When the violators lie about it being a “family event” have THAT person identified and sign a statement identifying them, their relationship to the property, the family member who the party is for and then do the same for the identified person who the party is for and perhaps 3 random people at the party asking about relationships, fees paid, alcohol, food being served and being charged for, whose property it is etc…. ENFORCEMENT OF ILLEGAL EVENTS! WHEN EVENT ORGANIZERS LIE TO DEPUTIES AND SAY IT IS A FAMILY EVENT THEY SHOULD WRITE A REPORT WITH ALL PARTIES PROPERLY IDENTIFIED AND ALLEGED RELATIONSHIPS ON PAPER, A STATEMENT FORM THAT THEY SIGN. IF THEY ARE NOT LIEING THEN FINE, BUT WHEN IT IS CONFIRMED THAT THEY LIED IT IS A FULL FINE AND PAYABLE WITHIN 30 DAYS! ONCE THEY START HAVING TO REALLY PAY SUBSTANTIAL FINES YOU WILL CHANGE BEHAVIOR. THE ONLY PEOPLE BEING PUNISHED NOW ARE THE NEIGHBORS AND THE REAPONSIBLE PEOPLE WHO GET PERMITS AND HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES Construction noise in big business when construction it’s happening should be more monitored it’s really noisy and scary sounds when buildings are under construction, very annoying when working on weekends, I’m in North Richmond and had the experience about it. Many neighbors complain about noise at all hours especially due to parties. Partly noise can be capped. One time a Neighbors party was so loud that our house was vibrating. We are very worried about very loud music at all times of day, music which shakes our house, the noise ordinance should not just apply to parties, everyone shouldBe able to have a party now and then, there should be something about music that bothers your neighbors a certain number of days a year, time of day for this is somewhat irrelevant I want to make sure the new noise ordinance will be applied to residents, businesses AND schools. Regardless of whether the noise emanates from indoors and outdoors, the focus should be on how it affects neighbors and the community.

Officers have a wide scope of responsibility already. Enforcement of noise regulations is more feasible and likely to be effective if prohibitions are simple and clearly defined with a range of enforcement mechanisms established. Discussion of what new concerns if any may arise as a result of new regulations as well as penalties for possible new regulations. 7 Preliminary Proposal DCD suggests new regulations to address two specific areas of concern. Outdoor Amplified Sound Construction-Related Noise 8 Preliminary Proposal Suggestions for addressing party noise nuisances by focusing on amplified sound. Propose regulations to prohibit all outdoor amplified sound after 10:00pm on Friday and Saturday and after 8:00pm on other nights. Amplified sound may be considered outdoor if emanating from an indoor location but doors or windows are left open. Remedies may include infraction citations, administrative fines and other existing tools. Proposed regulations would be consistent with existing prohibitions on amplified sound in the Temporary Events Ordinance but would apply whether or not there was a gathering or “event”. Proposed regulations could be enforced by Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) Code Enforcement and Sheriff’s Office. 9 Preliminary Proposal (cont.) Suggestions for addressing construction-related noise The following construction noise restriction conditions of approval are typically applied to planning entitlement projects that require discretionary or ministerial approval. Internal combustion engines are to be fitted with mufflers and stationary noise-generating equipment are to be located as far away form existing residences as possible. Construction activities are limited to the hours of 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, and prohibited on State and Federal holidays. Large trucks and heavy equipment are subject to the same restrictions that are imposed on construction activities, except that the hours are limited to 9:00am to 4:00pm. Consider new regulations to apply construction noise restriction conditions of approval to all projects that require a building permit. Proposed regulations would also include penalties for violations through administrative fines, infraction citations and other existing tools. DCD Code Enforcement and Sheriff’s Office could enforce the proposed regulations. 10 Exclusions and Limitations Noise regulations to address general vehicular noise or leaf blowers are not recommended because such activities are prevalent, the noise is a byproduct of the activity, and fleeting or short-lived noises are difficult to regulate. Noise regulations to address gunshots or fireworks are not recommended because these activities are separately regulated. Additional specific regulations would strain enforcement capacity of Sheriff’s Office and DCD. Any new regulations would only apply to the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. 11 Next Steps Discuss tonight the preliminary proposal for noise regulation and receive feedback. Collect additional written feedback from the public through July 31. DCD will draft a report on noise issues and recommendations for addressing them, including community input received, and present it to the Board at a regularly scheduled Board Meeting, targeting a to-be-determined meeting date in August or September. 12 Questions? 925-655-2868 Grant.Farrington@dcd.cccounty.us 13 Noise Related in Issues in Contra Costa County OCTOBER 7, 2025 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 1 Background Noise concerns are frequently raised with the County by members of the public, including at Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) meetings and in complaints to Code Enforcement and other County offices. Noise issues were expressed at community meetings convened by the Supervisors and the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) as part of the Envision Contra Costa Process to gather input for the ongoing update to the County’s General Plan. The County has existing regulations to address noise and in recent years has taken steps to strengthen regulations. In 2024, the Board directed staff to reach out the community, further examine what else can be done and report back to the Board with recommendations. That work has been completed and this presentation is the report back to the Board. 2 Summary of Current Regulations and Board Actions to Strengthen California Penal Code 415, Disturbing the Peace. Sheriff’s Office utilizes this long-standing tool to report violations to the District Attorney for possible prosecution as a misdemeanor when a third-party witness is willing to attest to the offense. County General Plan includes noise standards appropriate for various land use designations. Land use permits must be consistent with these standards (1991). Temporary Events Ordinance (2005). Established limitations on excessive noise for certain events. Increased fine amounts for violations of temporary event ordinance, Ordinance No. 2022-16 (2022). Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2022-23 (2022) Modified temporary event regulations to close down perceived “loopholes”. DCD staff and Sheriff’s Office collaborated to increase enforcement efforts. Revised Temporary Events Ordinance No. 2024-07 (2024). Incorporated the regulations established in Ordinance No. 2022-23 into the permanent ordinance. Board of Supervisors directs staff to conduct community outreach and develop recommendations on noise issues (2024). Board approved new General Plan, including noise-related Action item HS-A14.1to study the feasibility of a noise ordinance (2024). 3 Noise Concerns Review Timeline DCD was authorized by the Board of Supervisors on March 5, 2024, to evaluate noise related issues in Contra Costa County A survey on noise related issues was sent to all Municipal Advisory Councils on June 14, 2024. A working group meeting was held on September 16, 2024, to discuss the survey and solicit input on any additional noise concerns. Staff reviewed input and options with potential enforcement partners in the spring of 2025 to assess the feasibility of additional noise regulations. A follow-up working group meeting was held on July 8, 2025, to discuss potential new regulations and associated enforcement options. 4 Noise Issue Survey Survey on Noise-Related Issues in Contra Costa County sent to all Municipal Advisory Committees for distribution to members/constituents. Survey distributed on June 23, 2024. 100 responses received thru the survey close on September 17, 2024. 5 Summary of Noise Issues Survey Results On a scale of 1-5, with 1 being the lowest concern and 5 being the highest, how concerned are you with noise issues in the community? 6 Summary of Noise Issues Survey Results (continued) Survey results below and informal show of hands at September 19, 2024 meeting indicate that party noise is the most significant concern of those providing feedback. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Parties/Events Construction Landscaping/Leaf Blowers Commercial businesses such as bars or restaurants Other/free response Nu m b e r o f R e s p o n s e s No Concern Moderate Concern Significant Concern 7 Working Group Meetings Key Issues Discussed at September 19, 2024 and July 7, 2025 Meetings: Contra Costa County residents have strong concerns about existing noise-related nuisances within the unincorporated communities. Specific areas of concern include loud parties, construction, vehicular noise, leaf blowers, gunshots and fireworks. Loud parties were identified as the most significant concern. Staff provided details on existing regulations as well as limitations on our ability to enforce any potential new regulations. Following consultation with the Sheriff’s Office between the first and second working group meeting, staff proposed possible new regulations for two key areas of noise concerns: loud parties and construction. Community residents in attendance at the second meeting generally seemed receptive to new regulations but some expressed concern that enforcement of current and proposed regulations be effective. 8 Enforcement Challenges with Enforcement of Noise Regulations Excessive sounds or vibrations occurring outside of typical working hours when DCD staff may not be available, or Sheriff’s staff resources may be limited. Some sounds and vibrations occur intermittently or irregularly. Sounds or vibrations can carry long distances. Many activities, including many common and necessary activities, can have noise impacts. It can be hard to reach consensus on which impacts are acceptable and which are not. Establishing and upholding a threshold for an unreasonable level of noise can be challenging to measure. The cost of enforcing new regulations, primarily with respect to increased demand for staff time, is not currently known but could be significant. Clear-cut standards offer potential for effective enforcement of tightened regulations Sheriff’s Office and DCD suggest that defining specific periods of time when readily observable activities cannot occur is a reasonable approach for further strengthening noise regulations. 9 Preliminary Proposal DCD recommends new regulations be developed to address two specific areas of concern: 1) Outdoor Amplified Sound Propose regulations to prohibit all outdoor amplified sound after 10:00pm on Friday and Saturday and after 8:00pm on other nights. Proposed regulations would be consistent with existing prohibitions on amplified sound in the Temporary Events Ordinance but would apply whether or not there was a gathering or “event”. Propose clarifying that amplified sound be considered outdoor if emanating from an indoor location but doors or windows are left open. 2) Construction-Related Noise Propose new regulations to apply construction work hours to all projects requiring a building permit. Precise limitations to be determined as regulations drafted. Currently, construction work hour limitations are only imposed on projects that require some form of discretionary approval. A process to provide limited exceptions and afford some flexibility should be evaluated for possible inclusion. New regulations proposed to be enforceable by both DCD and Sheriff’s Office. A wide range of enforcement options, including citations and administrative fines, would be explored for inclusion. 10 Additional Considerations and Observations Noise regulations to address general vehicular noise or leaf blowers are not recommended because such activities are prevalent, the noise is a byproduct of the activity, and fleeting or short-lived noises are difficult to regulate. Noise regulations to address gunshots or fireworks are not recommended because these activities are separately regulated. Additional specific regulations would strain enforcement capacity of Sheriff’s Office and DCD. Any new regulations would only apply to the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. 11 Next Steps Board direction to staff is requested. Should DCD be directed to move forward with developing new noise regulations, staff will develop a draft ordinance pursuant to the Board’s direction and present the draft ordinance and staff analysis to the County Planning Commission to receive public input and Commission recommendations. Following presentation to the Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors would consider the draft ordinance, staff analysis, public input and Planning Commissions recommendations at a public meeting. 12 Thank you.
