D.1 THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Date: June 6, 2006 Matter of Record On this date,the Board called for public comment. The following people presented testimony: D.1 PUBLIC COMMENT (3 Minutes/Speaker) Doug Stewart, resident of Pacheco, spoke regarding the two cannabis clubs in Pacheco, one of which relocated and reopened their club after Urgency Ordinance 2006-17 went into effect.. He said the County is aware of this and has done nothing to shut them down. Supervisor Uilkema requested referring this to the County Administrator, suggesting he meet with the Sheriff and the Board get a subsequent update. Supervisor DeSaulnier asked Community Development Director Dennis Barry to see if there is any code enforcement action pertaining to ,the two clubs referred to by Mr. Stewart. Roland Katz, Public Employees Local One, shared a compliment with the Board that he received from a parent regarding the wonderful things Contra Costa County does for the community. The following person left e-mail for the Board to read: Bob Mankin, resident of Discovery Bay, regarding ongoing developer misrepresentation in Discovery Bay West by Hofman Land Development, and urging the Board to cease permitting projects for this Developer. Supervisor Piepho noted Mr. Mankin is referring the Conditions of Approval between the two Homeowner Associations, saying her office has communicated to the community, the Associations and Community Development, and is awaiting a response. . THIS IS A MATTER FOR RECORD PURPOSES ONLY NO ACTION WAS TAKEN "Bob Mankin" To: <comments.@cob.cccounty:us> <Bob@cadpros.com> cc: 05/26/2006 06:45 PM Subject: To whom it may concern; I speak on behalf of homeowners in Lakeshore, Discovery Bay. I would like to solicit comments from the full Board of Supervisors regarding the ongoing Developer misrepresentation in Discovery Bay West by Hofmann Land Development. After weeks of phone calls, letter writing and petitioning from our community of 454 homeowners, we have yet to see any sign that the County is willing or able to stop the practice. Hofmann is using misleading disclosure statements and sales literature to sell homes. We have provided copies of these documents to multiple County officials and yet no action is being taken to mitigate the damages being suffered by the citizens. This is reprehensible and at this point in would suggest the County is condoning the actions.We respectfully request that the County cease permitting projects for this Developer until such time as their business practices can be brought inline with full disclosures-and our concerns over existing issues can be fully addressed. To allow the status quo to continue borders on negligence and demonstrates a complete lack of concern for the citizens whom it is the duty of.the County officials to serve and protect. We the residents of Lakeshore are merely asking for the maintenance of the Premier 454 home gate community concept that we were originally sold. That shouldn't be too much to ask. For those on the Board not fully versed on our issue, we will most happily provide a full palette of documentation to explain the injustice that is taking place.

A Report of the Surgeon General Physical Activityand Health The Link Between Physical Activity and Morbidity and Mortality Regular physical activity that is performed on most days of the week HOW PHYSICAL ACTIVITY reduces the risk of developing or dying from some of the leading IMPACTS HEALTH causes of illness and death in the United States. Regular physical activity improves health in the following ways: • Reduces the risk of dying prematurely. • Reduces the risk of dying prematurely from heart disease. • Reduces the risk of developing diabetes. • Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure. i Helps reduce blood'pressure in people who already have high blood pressure. . • Reduces the risk of developing colon cancer. • Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety. • Helps control weight. • Helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints. • Helps older adults become stronger and better able to move about without falling. • Promotes psychological..well-being.... HEALTH BURDENS THAT . . . Millions of Americans suffer from illnesses that can be prevented or HERD COULD BE REDUCED improved through regular physical activity. THROUGH- ACTIVITY •, 1.3.5 million people have coronary heart disease. • 1.5 million people suffer from a heart attack in a.given year. • 8 million people have adult-onset (non-insulin-=dependent) diabetes. • 95,000 people are newly diagnosed with colon cancer each year. • 250,000 people suffer from a hip fractures each year. • 50 million people have high blood pressure. • Over 60 million people (a third of the population) are overweight.

" Don't lie down when you can sit. Don't sit when you can stand. Don't stand when you can move." -Laurence E. Morehouse Making the Choices That Matter A 2003 Center for Disease Control report on the physical activity habits of Americans revealed that 25 percent of adults are not active at all during their leisure time. How important is physical activity? Possibly much more important than you think. Scientists now know that 30 to 40 percent of'all cancers could be prevented through . some of the,lifestyle choices we make every.day:eating a sensible dieLkeeping physically active and maintaining a health) weight'.Another 30!; t of cancer cases could be prevented by avoiding tobacco. These encouraging."statistics come; from::the,landmark research.report,.Food, Nutrition and the Prevention of Cancer:a global perspective,publi.shed in 1997 by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR). The report was written by an expert panel of scientists who reviewed more than 4,500 research studies from around the world. It provides the most up-to-date, reliable advice to individuals on the best ways to prevent cancer through diet and lifestyle. Recommendations from the report can be summarized in the following.simple action steps: f 1qc;",�•;:`' .. 5�,..-�•`:'- v' 'E`vs..>,.�s, :�' a r_:.��e.--• �:, r�,n�+��ca-'� -_�: '�-..;. ,��.�, - a.�• .�,� k y. a,...�,;..-.�, .. 7::C::S:; "S!4 't•+ �7 yhAsc9+ �-� .3z�,-1cC::.d.='F�'�"'_ . ^ ;3...`r:�,� w=ar f.. .Y ,w ': .�:�"k. :;T• dl•'r;�::F7;�: . `�ai'�iae:iz�t'°'••.'. �:?�. :y q,.a:F;zr:�g:�.. :.e -'%�b;.'iir:��F' 'a`• �!�'a:�-�..'� ,•s•-• �ii'3`,:;e_..; 'T��'Se.�`Py'W _ ,_r%;:�.: -:�,`�_� ^,S .i.,..�. 57;_s..-C.��!°S., .,,,,i• •�y",�,�.. fr. .��a�i�wsz.;su =,� 4*::;� �- � � �.�:._..umr» °�jgFsc S'�iy�`•= �.�x��xe?2�?3���•��.,,.y:,s. ,. e��, �;. r:s:°-•, a••s`�'„�..�- �,�.,.:;_;�. •-•.. .id....:. en....x . _ .:3`cs-. ?rs,. . .....; a': ;,:. .:a:r e: -x.:.c €i•.:.0 .... .... . ... ... ...... .. .. 1..:.:Choose a.diet rich.in a variety.of,plant-based:foods: .....::..: . . ... .. .. . .:2 Eat plenty of:vegetables and fruits; . . 3.

More than half of these deaths were attributed to diseases of the heart (125), cancer(98), stroke(39) and diabetes (16), as reported on the death certificates, according to the California Department of Health Services. Lifestyle can be a risk factor in these diseases. Heart disease and cancer are the No. 1 and No. 2 killers in Pittsburg/Bay Point and in the country. Stroke is the No. 3 killer both nationally and locally and is a leading cause of severe long-term disability. Various studies have shown.that physical inactivity is a risk factor, among several; for heart disease. "Overall, the results show heart disease is almost twice as likely to develop`in,inactive people.than in those who are more active," according to.the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's pamphlet, "Exercise and.Your Heart:" "Scientists now know that 30 to 40 percent of all cancers could be prevented through some of the lifestyle choices we make every day: eating a sensible diet, keeping physically active and maintaining a healthy weight," according to the American Institute For Cancer Research's pamphlet, "Getting Active, Staying Active." Despite the proven benefits of physical activity, more than 50 percent of American adults do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits, the U.S surgeon-general said in a 2004'update on physical activity and.nutrition. And only about one-fourth of U.S. adults eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits.and vegetables each day(and only 21 percent of young people do), according to the surgeon-general. The surgeon-general declared that obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S.;affecting nearly 59 million adults plus about 9 million overweight children and adolescents(15 percent). Overweight and obesity together represent the No. 2 preventable cause of death in the United States, second only to cigarette smoking, according to the American Heart Association's 2005 statistical update. Promoting regular physical activity and healthy eating and creating an environment that supports these behaviors are essential to reducing this epidemic of obesity and overweight, according to the surgeon-general. familiesforhealth@gmall.com r s � CD bv ro �, w w cn a s C O ., P C• p _C' a O P croCrQ ;n "_,.::_•.L�t ^r a x vo o -1Zn X °q o y o a y cr n ^y* O O y n C• p� A :3- � 7 w na 0O. = ... � !

Physically active people have a lower risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and some types of cancer. Despite all the benefits of physical activity, most people in this country are sedentary. Given that regular physical activity helps people enjoy better health, an important question is: what strategies work best in helping people become more physically active? A systematic review of published studies, conducted on behalf of the Task Force on Community Preventive Services by a team of experts, found that community-wide campaigns are effective in getting people to be more physically active. On the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness, the Task Force recommends implementation of these efforts. Background on the Interventions • These interventions were large-scale, intense, highly visible, community-wide campaigns with messages directed to large audiences through different types of media, including television, radio, newspapers, movie theaters, billboards, and mailings. • Community-wide campaigns were typically conducted as part of a multicomponent effort that also included strategies such as support or self-help groups, physical activity counseling, risk factor screening and education, community health fairs and other community events, and environmental or policy changes such as the creation of walking trails. • Interventions were evaluated as a"combined package"because the relative contributions of each individual component could not be assessed separately. Findings from the Systematic Review • In all 10 studies reviewed, community-wide campaigns were effective in increasing various measures of physical activity, including the percentage of people who are active, their estimated energy expenditure, and their activity levels. • The median estimates from the reviewed studies suggest that community-wide campaigns can result in a 5% increase in the proportion of people who are physically active and a 16% increase in energy expenditure. • Community-wide campaigns were effective in both rural and urban communities and among different ethnic and socioeconomic groups. • In addition to improving physical activity, community-wide campaigns may also improve the health of communities by developing or strengthening social networks and by improving community members'sense of cohesion and collective ability to bring about change.

Given that regular physical activity helps people enjoy better health, an important question is: what strategies work best in helping people become more physically active? A systematic review of published studies, conducted on behalf of the Task Force on Community Preventive Services by a team of experts, found that people will become more physically active in response to the creation of or improved access to places for physical activity,combined with distribution of information. On the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness, the Task Force recommends implementing such efforts. Background on the Interventions • These interventions involve the efforts of worksites, coalitions,agencies, and communities in attempts to change the local environment to create opportunities for physical activity. • Such changes include creating walking trails, building exercise facilities, or providing access to existing nearby facilities. • Many of these programs also train participants to use the equipment and offer health behavior education, risk factor screening, referrals to physicians or additional services, health and fitness programs, and support or buddy systems. These multicomponent programs were evaluated as a"combined package"because it was not possible to separate out the effects of each individual component. Findings from the Systematic Review • In all 10 studies reviewed, creating or enhancing access to places for physical activity was effective in getting people to exercise more. • The median estimates from the reviewed studies suggest that creating or improving access to places for physical activity can result in a 25% increase in the percent of persons who exercise at least 3 times a week. • Most of the studies also reported weight losses or decreases in body fat among program participants. • These interventions were effective among both men and women and in various settings, including industrial plants, universities, federal agencies, and low-income communities. If appropriately adapted to the target populations,these interventions should be applicable to diverse settings and groups.

Lengyel, Lazio was credited with being the heart and soul behind an effort of more than four years to revive a moribund healthcare district, conserve its assets and the pension rights of its employees and point the way to a continuing role to expand local health resources and serve as the public's voice in healthcare without an 11ttp://experi ence.l osmedanos.edu/exp/F'-llvfPro`?-db=exp.fp3&-format=story•.htm&-lay=... 6/5/06 LUs 1VIGUd"UJ L,U11VgFC 1✓XF1G1IC11l;C rage L of L operating hospital. Lazio served as an elected board member of the Los Medanos Community Healthcare District from 1992 to 2004. Although the hospital was forced to close in 1994, Lazio remained on board and helped bring the district out of bankruptcy in 1998. While on the Los Medanos Community Health Care Board she helped save the hospital building which is now valued at more than $18 million. Lazio's list of accomplishments doesn't end there. She also served as treasurer when the last of the construction bonds were paid off in 2004 and $850,000 in reserves was refunded to tax payers. "She made the best of a bad situation," said Lengyel. In her elected public service, Lazio was credited by county health official Steve Harris, as a key player in the revival of the district and locating county health services that now serve more than 70,000 patients annually. Lazio also implemented the district's first small-grants program for community-based organizations. Along with other nurses, Lazio planted the signature rose garden at the hospital grounds. "She has a warm personality that is both constructive and courageous," said Lengyel. Lazio said it was really a shock for her to receive such a prestigious honor, citing that it was the result of hard work and helping people. She also said she loves LMC for the opportunity it gave her. "You can learn how to do anything if you keep trying," said Lazio. "When people are good to you, you have to turn around and help someone." posted 4/7/2006 Experience Home_Page I Search Experience I LMC_Home_ llttp-.//experience.]osmedanos.edu/exp/F'L\,'IPro?-db=exp.fp3&-format=story.litm&-lay=... 6/5/06 ,/uu/uyou/ Puem l of2 . * ~* U � K8ichaeULam��al<fmm�U�sf»rhes�M��0mmaiU'mmmn> � m�� __----------_...... ________________________________________________________ K^rker Creek Cleanup ~ Thank you! 1 message ------`--------------------------------------'------------------ Kmop, Carla -Concord, CA<CarUa'Koop@mm'nmcdnet.nmt> Mon,Jun 5, 2006mt10:51AK8 To: ^Koop.

The Contra Costa Commission for Women announced Lazio and several other women from around Contra Costa County were the awards recipients in fields such as health care, leadership and preserving the environment. Lazio, who currently works at the John Muir in Concord, was overwhelmed by the award. "It's really incredible," said Lazio.

Roseanne Lazio received the Eighth Annual Women's Hall of Fame award According to the nomination letter by for Women Improving Health Care. Lengyel, Lazio was credited with being the heart and soul behind an effort of more than four years to revive a moribund healthcare district, conserve its assets and the pension rights of its employees and point the way to a continuing role to expand local health resources and serve as the public's voice in healthcare without an 11ttp:Hexperieiice.losmedaiios.edu/exp/F-N fPro?-db=exp.fp3&-format=story.htiii&-lay�--_... 6/5/06 1-US IVICUdl1UJ l..Ullugu r-Npellelicu rage L oL L operating hospital. Lazio served as an elected board member of the Los Medanos Community Healthcare District from 1992 to 2004. Although the hospital was forced to close in 1994, Lazio remained on board and helped bring the district out of bankruptcy in 1998. While on the Los Medanos Community Health Care Board she helped save the hospital building which is now valued at more than $18 million. Lazio's list of accomplishments doesn't end there. She also served as treasurer when the last of the construction bonds were paid off in 2004 and $850,000 in reserves was refunded to tax payers. -She made the best of a bad situation," said Lengyel. In her elected public service, Lazio was credited by county health official Steve Harris, as a key player in the revival of the district and locating county health services that now serve more than 70,000 patients annually. Lazio also implemented the district's first small-grants program for community-based organizations. Along with other nurses, Lazio planted the signature rose garden at the hospital grounds. "She has a warm personality that is both constructive and courageous," said Lengyel. Lazio said it was really a shock for her to receive such a prestigious honor, citing that it was the result of hard work and helping people. She also said she loves LMC for the opportunity it gave her. "You can learn how to do anything if you keep trying," said Lazio. "When people are good to you, you have to turn around and help someone." posted 4/7/2006 Experience Home Pace I Search.

Over 50 enthusiastic volunteers attended. A big thank you to ALL who participated! Our hardworking volunteers collected trash from in and around the creek as it flows under the Delta De Anza Trail and behind the Pittsburg Environmental Center. Volunteers scrambled around a beautiful stretch of creek with lots of native vegetation (and some sneezing!). It was a very productive day for our shopping-cart warriors who removed 19 shopping carts from the creek (see attached photo)! Items collected were: 3 yards of miscellaneous trash/debis 5 yards of recyclables 19 shopping carts 1 8ft. length of chain link fence 1 small safe (no money inside) One volunteer commented after the cleanup that they felt most proud that ..we all as a group helped each other. We worked as a team and got a lot of garbage in bushes and a lot of places...I did something for our community to make it a better place, something everyone should do."

More than half of these deaths were attributed to diseases of the heart(125), cancer(98), stroke(39) and diabetes(16), as reported on the death certificates, according to the California Department of Health Services. Lifestyle can be a risk factor in these diseases. Heart disease and cancer are the No. 1 and No. 2 killers in Pittsburg/Bay Point and in the country. Stroke is the No. 3 killer both nationally and locally and is a leading cause of severe long-term disability. Various studies have shown that physical inactivity is a risk factor, among several, for heart disease. "Overall, the results show heart disease'is almost twice as likely to develop in inactive people.than in those who are more active;" according to the National Heart.,Lung and Blood Institute's pamphlet, "Exercise and Your Heart: "Scientists now know that 30 to 40 percent of all cancers could be prevented through some of the lifestyle choices we make every day: eating a sensible diet, keeping physically active and maintaining a healthy weight," according to the American Institute For Cancer Research's pamphlet, "Getting Active, Staying Active." Despite the proven benefits of physical activity, more than 50 percent of American adults do not.get enough physical activity to provide health benefits the U.S'surgeon-general said in a 2004 update on physical activity and,nutrition. And only about one-fourth of U.S. adults eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day(and only 21 percent of young.people do), according to the surgeon-general. The surgeon-general declared that obesity has reached epidemic proportions.in the U.S.; affecting nearly 59 million adults plus about 9 million overweight children and adolescents(15 percent). Overweight and obesity together represent the No. 2 preventable cause of death in the United States, second only to cigarette smoking, according to the American Heart Association's 2005 statistical update. Promoting regular physical activity and healthy eating and creating an environment that supports these behaviors are essential to reducing this epidemic of obesity and overweight, according to the surgeon-general. familiesforhealth@gmail.com Z � o ci of CDS . yh F'.

Physically active people have a lower risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and some types of cancer. Despite all the benefits of physical activity, most people in this country are sedentary. Given that regular physical activity helps people enjoy better health, an important question is:what strategies work best in helping people become more physically active? A systematic review of published studies, conducted on behalf of the Task Force on Community Preventive Services by a team of experts, found that community-wide campaigns are effective in getting people to be more physically active. On the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness,the Task Force recommends implementation of these efforts. Background on the Interventions • These interventions were large-scale, intense, highly visible, community-wide campaigns with messages directed to large audiences through different types of media, including television, radio, newspapers, movie theaters, billboards, and mailings. • Community-wide campaigns were typically conducted as part of a multicomponent effort that also included strategies such as support or self-help groups, physical activity counseling, risk factor screening and education, community health fairs and other community events, and environmental or policy changes such as the creation of walking trails. • Interventions were evaluated as a"combined package"because the relative contributions of each individual component could not be assessed separately. Findings from the Systematic Review • In all 10 studies reviewed, community-wide campaigns were effective in increasing various measures of physical activity, including the percentage of people who are active, their estimated energy expenditure, and their activity levels. • The median estimates from the reviewed studies suggest that community-wide campaigns can result in a 5% increase in the proportion of people who are physically active and a 16% increase in energy expenditure. • Community-wide campaigns were effective in both rural and urban communities and among different ethnic and socioeconomic groups. • In addition to improving physical activity, community-wide campaigns may also improve the health of communities by developing or strengthening social networks and by improving community members'sense of cohesion and collective ability to bring about change.

Physically active people have a lower risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and some types of cancer. Despite all the benefits of physical activity, most people in this country are sedentary. Given that regular physical activity helps people enjoy better health, an important question is: what strategies work best in helping people become more physically active? A systematic review of published studies, conducted on behalf of the Task Force on Community Preventive Services by a team of experts, found that people will become more physically active in response to the creation of or improved access to places for physical activity, combined with distribution of information. On the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness,the Task Force recommends implementing such efforts. Background on the Interventions • These interventions involve the efforts of worksites, coalitions,agencies, and communities in attempts to change the local environment to create opportunities for physical activity. • Such changes include creating walking trails, building exercise facilities, or providing access to existing nearby facilities. • Many of these programs also train participants to use the equipment and offer health behavior education, risk factor screening, referrals to physicians or additional services, health and fitness programs, and support or buddy systems. These multicomponent programs were evaluated as a"combined package"because it was not possible to separate out the effects of each individual component. Findings from the Systematic Review • In all 10 studies reviewed, creating or enhancing access to places for physical activity was effective in getting people to exercise more. • The median estimates from the reviewed studies suggest that creating or improving access to places for physical activity can result in a 25% increase in the percent of persons who exercise at least 3 times a week. • Most of the studies also reported weight losses or decreases in body fat among program participants. • These interventions were effective among both men and women and in various settings, including industrial plants, universities, federal agencies, and low-income communities. If appropriately adapted to the target populations,these interventions should be applicable to diverse settings and groups.
