SUBJECT: Application for FEMA Phase 19 funding for the Mt.View Emergency County
Shelter for Families.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
L RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to develop and transmit an application
along with the necessary certification and assurances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA)for the operation of the Mt. View Emergency Shelter for families.
B. Authorize the Director of Health Services or his designee to accept up to $75,710 in FEMA funding and enter
into a contract with FEMA to perform all responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding and contracted
provisions for CY 2001.
ii. FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds requested of the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) Round VIII is essential to providing
adequate emergency housing and supportive services to families year-round. No additional County funds are
required.
III. BACKGROUND:
According to the Continuum of Care Gaps Analysis 2000, there are approximately 282 emergency shelter beds
available for families in Contra Costa, 90 of which are only available during the cold weather season of November
through March. The demand for shelter far exceeds the County's current capacity forcing homeless service
providers to turn away an average of 40 families per night, many of which are from Central and East County
where there are no year-round facilities. It is with this knowledge that the Contra Costa County Homeless
Continuum of Care 5 yr. Plan (1996), approved by the County Board of Supervisors, identified the need for the
expansion of year-round emergency shelter beds for families and ranked it a high priority.
In August 2000, construction on a new transitional housing facility for homeless families began with the approval
and support of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Aimed at creating additional supportive housing units in the County for parents and their children,
the East County Transitional Family Center will offer families currently receiving services at the County's old
transitional housing facility in Martinez, CA to move to the new state of the art facility in Antioch in April 2001.
This expansion in transitional housing units creates a unique opportunity and creates a space for a year-round
emergency shelter for 5-8 families at a time (24 beds) and fill a much need gap in emergency services.
Anticipating a complete conversion to emergency services in June 2001, the Mt. View Emergency Shelter for
Families located in Martinez, CA will provide shelter and supportive services to approximately 96 family members
annually. Designed to meet the immediate shelter needs of parents and their children, Mt.View will be a year-
round, 24-hour facility aimed at stabilizing each family by offering a safe environment with critical support services
over a 90-day period. Every family will meet with a case manager to identify the short-term needs of each family
member that will enable the family to move to a more stable living situation. These supportive services are the
building blocks necessary to assist families in making the transition off the streets and into more stable housing.

DATE: November 14, 2000
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract for Specialized Professional Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)& BACKGROUND AND
JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Counsel, or designee, to execute, on behalf of Contra Costa
County, a contract for specialized professional services with Remy, Thomas and Moose, LLP.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Five lawsuits have been filed against the County challenging recent the General Plan Amendment
modifying the Urban Limit Line: City of Brentwood v. County of Contra Costa, et al., Case No. COO- 03741; City
of San Ramon v. County of Contra Costa, et al., Case No. COO- 03745; Finley-Tassajara Corporation v.
County of Contra Costa, et al., Case No. COO-03704; Mission Peak Homes, Inc., v. County of Contra Costa,
et aL, Case No. COO-03705; and Roddy Ranch, LLC v. County of Contra Costa, et al., Case No. COO- 03734.
These lawsuits object to the Urban Limit Line modifications on CEQA and other grounds. The law firm of
Remy, Thomas and Moose, LLP, assisted County staff and its consultants with the preparation of the EIR for
the Urban Limit Line modifications and is very familiar with the key portions of the draft and final EIR. The
Community Development Department and the County Counsel believe that the services of Remy, Thomas and
Moose, LLP, will be of assistance to the County Counsel's Office in defending the lawsuits challenging the
Board's decision to modify the Urban Limit Line and recommend that they be retained.
