Contract No. 02-0527 proposes to reimburse the County in an amount not to exceed $93,674.00 for high-risk pest exclusion activities. BACKGROUND: Legislation in 1997 encouraged a study to be conducted to evaluate the statutory and regulatory responsibilities and appropriate funding sources for county agricultural commissioner programs. The study placed priority upon the pest exclusion program and identified opportunities for improving and funding mandated activities. In 1998 legislation was passed as a result of this study. The legislation was geared toward funding high-risk exclusion activities performed by the county agricultural commissioners throughout the State. Contract No. 02-0527 sets activity levels that are designed for Contra Costa County based on historical workloads, costs and a negotiated work plan to maintain optimal service levels. The agreement improves the service level of high-risk exclusion activities in the county.

It has a temperate climate, beautiful geographical setting and shares in California's continuing growth. The county covers a total of 805 square miles, of which approximately 732 square miles are land, with the remainder consisting of water areas. The adjacent counties are Alameda, San Joaquin, Sacramento and Solano are connected by bridges, and heavily traveled Interstates 80, 580 and 880 and State Highway Routes 13,24 and 4. Buchanan Field is a small airport within the county but you can reach Oakland and San Francisco International Airports within an hour's drive or by using the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, There are several refineries along the corridor ranging from the City of Richmond to Pittsburg. Portions of western and central Contra Costa resemble many urban and suburban environments while the eastern corner of the county is the agricultural community. Over 916,000-plus residents reside in the varied suburban, industrial, agricultural and port areas of the county. These residents enjoy outdoor recreational facilities ranging from boating to golfing, and cultural resources including numerous local theatres, art and music centers as well as vast cultural and recreational resources in Oakland, San Francisco, and surrounding areas. The county is usually considered as comprising three distinct areas. West County, Central County and East County. Central county is further generally considered as comprising North Central County, Lamorinda and the San Ramon"Valley. East County is composed of the Pittsburg-Antioch area and "other East County." Each of these areas is described below: West County The West County area includes the urbanized shoreline of the San Francisco and San Pablo Bays, which is separated from the rest of the county by the Briones Hills and the open space watershed lands owned by the East Bay Municipal Utility District. West County was among the first areas of the county to develop with medium density suburbs and industry. The western sub-area includes the cities of El Cerrito, Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole and Hercules as well as the unincorporated communities of Kensington, El Sobrante, Rodeo, Crockett and Port Costa. Contra Costa County - I - Central County The Central County arca is the largest of the three areas, including ten of the nineteen cities in Contra Costa and over half of the total population. Central County is composed of mostly low density bedroom communities that have developed in the flat valleys between the East Bay Hills and the Diablo Range to the east, extending north and south of Mt. Diablo. The cities within this area are as follows: • Lamorinda: Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda, as well as the unincorporated area of Canyon • North Central County: all of the cities and unincorporated communities along the northern Interstate 680 corridor—the cities of Walnut Creek, Concord, Clayton, Pleasant Hill and Martinez and the unincorporated area of Pacheco, Vine Hill, Clyde and the Pleasant Hill BART station and Saranap • San Ramon Valley: unincorporated Alamo,the cities of Danville and San Ramon and the unincorporated Blackhawk and Tassajara areas East County East County is the largest land area in the county and includes much of the hilly terrain of the Diablo Range: • Pittsburg-Antioch area, which stretches along Route 4 from the Willow Pass grade northeast of Concord to Route 84 near Oakley. The Pittsburg-Antioch area includes the two cities, as well as the unincorporated community of Bay Point. • "Other East County" refers to the remainder of the East County sub-area, which includes the cities of Brentwood and Oakley, and the unincorporated areas of Bethel Island., Knightsen, Bryon and Discovery Bay. Employment grew by approximately 51 percent between the 80's and 90's. Much of the job increase was measured in the categories associated with the tremendous office and retail development along the Interstate 680 corridor. The fastest growing employment areas were business services, health services and engineering/accounting services. The second largest increase in the number of new jobs was in the retail trade. :Problem Statement Contra Costa County is a diverse county demographically, topographically and industrially. This has created a desirable place to live and work however it has also created a target rich environment with a reputation well known nation wide for the Contra Costa CowYty - 2- eq abundance of potential vulnerable sites. With 12 chemical plants, 4 oil refineries, a national weapons station and numerous corporate headquarters all within the boundaries of our Operational Area Contra Costa County is truly a target rich environment. Due to the high concentration of refineries, chemical plants,transport trucks and trains Contra Costa County's greatest threat of an incident involves commercial chemicals. The use of the 2000/2001 OJP money will be for the following: Equipment Requested to Address the Threat Level A Suits A total of 24 Level A Suits for our three public Hazardous Materials Teams. 3 variations of the Level A suits have been requested to provide a broader coverage required for various scenarios. 2 Reusable Treliborg suits 4 Suits with thermal flash over-suits 18 Limited use Suits Full Face Respirators/Filtration Canisters/Fit Testers Full Face Air Purifying Respirators will be the first of several orders to outfit law enforcement through out the operational area who agree to follow OSHA requirements. Filtration Cartridges to complement the Full Face Air Purifying Respirators and make them operational. Full Face Air Purifying Fit Tester to test operational area public agency personnel required to wear respirators as per OSHA. 500 Full Face Respirators 750 Canisters to make the respirator operational 3 Full Face Air Purifying fit tester Radiological Detection and Monitoring Equipment With the emphasis on chemicals in our operational area and the relaxation of the radiological abilities since the end of the cold war it had been deemed necessary to build the abilities of the Hazardous Materials Teams. 2 Radiation Detector and probes Alpha 3 Electronic Radiation Detectors 20 Radiological Dosage Meter Dosimeters 9 Radiological Dosage Meter Charger/Calibration Units 2 Different Types County Wide Site Specific Multi-Band Interoperability System Communications within.Contra Costa County at best has been marginal, due to topography of the county and various communications frequencies used by public safety agencies. To ensure communications can occur across disciplines and for all public service agencies within the county during a WMD/terrorist attack in the immediate future,the procurement Contra Costa County - 3- and installation of a County Wide Site Specific Multi-Band Interoperability System is needed. The creation of the Interoperable System will consist of procurement and installation of 800 mhrtz base stations and four ACU 1000's at county repeater sites to allow first response personnel the ability to communicate across bands within the operational area and with all public safety agencies within the operational area and neighboring cities and operational areas(Alameda Co., Sacramento Co., BART, CALTRANS). Further support to this system will be through mobile interoperable communications units staged throughout the county for incident specific use. This system is gradually being put in place and will be supported with future grant money. 3 800 mhrtz base stations 5 ACU 1000 Priorities The above equipment was determined to provide the most protection and fill the most voids against WMD/Terrorism within the operational area response systems. Our needs/priorities in the future are still as follows: Communications, Training,PPE, Decontamination, Detection, Explosive Ordinance Disposal(EOD), Mass Casualty/Death and Transportation. As with this grant we will be looping to further strengthen our communications capabilities. Training;though training has not been offered, we need funds for training and to cover overtime of those in training. The people required to use this equipment need to be trained on how to use it. PPE: continuance of our respirator program will be a work in progress until all law enforcement within the operational area that make the OSHA commitment are protected. Other PPE issues will continue to be reviewed. Decontamination: completion of the decontamination program that was initiated with the money of the first DOJ ODP grant. A key ingredient to completion of our decontamination capability is the ability to transport what equipment the OA currently owns. EOD: with one bomb team in the OA we are working with them to ensure they have the tools necessary to carryout safe bomb identification and disposal. Mass Casualty/Death: the OA will review current stocks of equipment and ensure supplies available are suitable for the growth that has taken place in the past ten years in the OA. Transportation: with the increase in response equipment the OA will look for a standard method of storage/transport to the scene of a WMI)/terrorism incident. Operational Area Decision-Making Process As an Operational Area we have met and created a WMD Grant Steering Consortium, The Consortium has been meeting since September 1999. The Consortium made up of representatives from public safety agencies throughout the operational area, agreed in the beginning to buy equipment as a Consortium(Operational Area) and caching it throughout the operational area as deemed appropriate for best deployment. The caches pertain to equipment procured with past and future grants. The current grant will be used Contra Costa County - 4- for three specific projects and groups,Hazardous Materials Teams,Law Enforcement and Communications for all Operational Area Public Safety. Hazardous Materials Teams will update Level A suits with three different variations to ensure response capabilities to a variety of chemicals, biologics and radiological scenarios. To farther enhance their capabilities,radiological equipment will be updated and increased. This increased capability, will allow for more comprehensive thorough detection and identification of the types of contamination found. Law Enforcement has little basic respiratory personal protection. Due to the lack of any equipment besides military surplused M-17 which created a false sense of security,the operational area has very few respirators for law enforcement. With this current grant and future grants the operational area will establish a respirator procurement plan for law enforcement. Our program will start with two agencies and expand to all law enforcement agencies who understand and agree to OSHA requirements. As the education process for respirators takes place and the commitment of those departments is made, money from future grants will be used for supplying law enforcement in the operational area with the adequate numbers of respirators required. Communications is always an issue on all incidents. Having the ability to communicate across bandwidths with all public safety agencies within the operational area and neighboring jurisdictions is a very big step to overcoming past communications problems. The ability to augment existing infrastructure by enhancing it's capability with the 800 mhrtz base stations and interoperable communications units will provide coverage this operational area has not had. Not only will this provide increased capabilities to our present system for response to WMD/Terrorism incidents,but it will assist on a daily basis as well. The fifth ACU 1000 will be added to our mobile communications response capabilities to provide site/incident specific interoperable communication. With future grants,procurement of additional mobile interoperable communications systems ACU 1,000 will be included for further expanding our capabilities to communicate between agencies and disciplines. Since the inception of the Contra Costa County WMD Grant Consortium invitations and notification for meetings have gone out regularly and repeatedly to emergency response agencies. This includes recruiting from various disciplines that were underrepresented. Standardization of equipment and interoperability were priorities to ensure all agencies could operate compatibly. From the beginning, it was decided that as a consortium Contra Costa County operational area would address WMD Equipment Grants. This concept was successfully used with the City of Richmond's submittal of the most recent DOJ ODP grant. Agencies and disciplines requesting equipment are encouraged to pitch their requirements for equipment to the consortium. What the consortium looks for are; how filling a groups requirement will increase the readiness of the entire operational area, does the equipment provide an increase in everyday operations as well as for WMD/terrorism, does the equipment fit the overall strategy, will the constituents of the county be better/safer as a Contra Costa County _ 5 '? d result of supporting requests. When these criteria are met the consortium add them to our list of equipment. As grants become available we decide which equipment has the highest priority with regard to the overall strategy. Everyone from the consortium decides what should be applied for, if there are disagreements we work through them using a democratic process. The ideology and process behind this negates the need for sub-grants and keeps an open dialogue between disciplines and agencies. The process has enlightened agencies that have only recently joined our consortium. The initial equipment purchased was cached and available to all public safety agencies in the operational area. Future grants will involve caching of equipment as well,the only exception is when one agency performs a function for the good of the entire county that no other agency performs or in the case of respirators the void for one discipline requires a fix. The consortium has always looked at improving the readiness and safety of our operational area. Overview of Jurisdictions' Capability While performing the WMD assessment capabilities we found our response agencies to be woefully under equipped and understaffed. Equipment wise as an Operational Area we are ready to handle the structural fires and minor Hazardous Materials incident. However, in the event of a WMD or even a large industrial accident Contra Costa County as an Operational Area with little exception is ill prepared. This preparation continues to get better through the grants provided and the exchange of information and ideas that are discussed at these meetings. The process has helped to make a difference. One example of this is communications between disciplines. During consortium short falls in the field, however they have also identified methods of overcoming these shortfalls. Agencies working together on this grant have been afforded the opportunity fiscally to provide the County Wide Site Specific Multi-band Interoperability System. This would provide the public safety agencies the ability to communicate with all nineteen cities, special districts and county agencies. Equipment Procurement and Distribution Plan As funds become available equipment listed will be procured. Level A suits and the radiological detectors and meters will be purchased by the county hazardous materials team and dispersed to the other two teams according to a predetermined plan. Fit testing equipment will be used to perform respirator testing and respirators issued after successful completion of OSHA Standards. Canisters will be issued with the masks and additional canisters will be stored appropriately for rapid deployment to the field. The technicians of the county and cities with PSAPs will install the County Common Interoperability Channel equipment.

If all of the fund transfers are approved,the balance of the FY 2002/03 CDBG/HDAF will be$3,252,386.Based on current applications, letters of intent, and discussions with affordable housing developers, the Department has identified potential requests for FY 2002/03 CDBG/HDAF funds of more than$3.4 million. The source of proposed fund transfers includes$913,206 in unexpended fields originally allocated to three loan programs for the rehabilitation of affordable rental and owner-occupied housing, including: • $230,852 in unexpended funds from the Rental Housing Rehabilitation Program(01-05-HSG) • $382,876 in unexpended funds from the San Pablo Housing Rehabilitation Program (01-09- HSG) i $299,478 in unexpended funds from the Neighborhood Preservation Program(01-08-HSG) Each program is awarded an annual allocation consisting of a combination of current year CDBG funds and estimated CDBG program income.Program income is generated through the repayment of rehabilitation loans made in prior years. Due to housing market and interest rate conditions in FY 2002/03, the three rehabilitation programs generated higher than anticipated program income, decreasing the amount of current year allocation required to successfully operate the programs and achieve identified rehabilitation objectives. In addition to the rehabilitation programs,the following completed projects have unexpended fund balances: • $1,187,859 in unallocated funds from the FY 2001/02 CDBG/HDAF a $350,000 in unexpended funds from the'Willowbrook Apartments project • $146,750 in unexpended funds from Brentwood Residential Utility Connection Program(98-08- HSG and 99-07-HSG) • $459 in unexpended funds from the Fair Housing Counseling Program(98-03-HSG and 01-11- HSG) Program income was received from the following loan payments: • $13,450 from a Marsh Creek Vista project first-time homebuyer • $50,323 from two City of Pinole first-time homebuyers • $9,940 from a Najera Estates first-time homebuyer • $310,594 from the Del Norte Place loan repayment As has been the case in past years, the unexpended fund balances are recommended for transfer to the FY 2002/03 CDBG/HDAF for use in funding future affordable housing projects.
