6. HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN INTEGRATION
The information on hazards, risk, vulnerability, and mitigation contained in this Hazard Mitigation Plan is based on the best available data at the time of the Plan update. Plan integration consists of the incorporation of hazard mitigation into other relevant planning mechanisms (e.g., general planning and capital improvement planning). It includes the integration of natural hazard information and mitigation policies, principles, and actions into local planning mechanisms and vice versa. Additionally, plan integration is achieved though the involvement of key staff and community officials in collaborative hazard mitigation planning. This section describes the City’s process for integrating information from this Hazard Mitigation Plan into other planning mechanisms.

6.1. Past Plan Integration
In the performance period since the adoption of the previous Hazard Mitigation Plan, City of Brentwood made progress on integrating components of the hazard mitigation strategy (e.g., goals, objectives, and actions) into the planning initiatives listed in Table 9.

Table 9. Past Plan Integration
Planning Initiative Description
City General Plan
Upon each revision of the Housing Element or the Hazard Mitigation Plan, the Safety Element is revised (no less than every eight (8) years). The Hazard Mitigation Plan is utilized to identify new information that was not available during the previous revision of the Safety Element, relating to hazards (i.e., flood and fire), and climate adaptation and resiliency strategies.

6.2. Potential Future Integration
As the Hazard Mitigation Plan is implemented, the City of Brentwood will use information from the Plan as the best available science and data on hazards. The capability assessment presented in Section 5 of this Annex identifies codes, plans, and programs that provide opportunities for integration. The citywide and local action plans developed for this Hazard Mitigation Plan are related to plan integration. The capability assessment identified plans and programs, listed in Table 10, that do not currently integrate goals and recommendations of this Plan but provide opportunities to do so in the future.

Table 10. Potential Future Integration
Planning Initiative Description
City General Plan
This Hazard Mitigation Plan will be incorporated in the General Plan Safety Element. The opportunity to incorporate additional hazard mitigation and abatement measures will be contemplated for inclusion into the next updated of the General Plan.

The Safety Element will be revised, and this Hazard Mitigation Plan will be utilized to identify new information that was not available during the previous revision of the Safety Element, relating to hazards (i.e., flood and fire), and climate adaptation and resiliency strategies.

2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Contra Costa County, California
City of Brentwood Annex 15
Planning Initiative Description
Municipal Code
Mitigation actions and the hazard risk assessment in this Hazard Mitigation Plan can inform updates and revisions to the City Code. • Building and Construction Code (Title 15) will be reviewed based on development trends in identified hazards and mitigation measures that can make them more effective at preventing losses. They will be updated to comply with the latest International and State building codes.

Additionally, as FEMA develops new guidance for the NFIP, it will be incorporated into the City Code, as appropriate, and integrated as updates to this Hazard Mitigation Plan.
• Subdivision and Land Development Code (Title 16) will be modified and updated to support changes in land use development and require adequate infrastructure to support residential area populations. • Zoning Code (Title 17) will be modified and updated to reflect changes in development. Additionally, may be used to address land use regulations that support mitigation actions such as development in wetlands, floodplains and preservation of open space.

City Design Guidelines Hazard, goals, and actions of this Hazard Mitigation Plan will be considered in the next update for the City’s Design Guidelines.

Urban Water Management
Plan
Hazard, goals, and actions of this Hazard Mitigation Plan will be considered in the next update of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP).

Stormwater Management
Program
Mitigation actions in this Hazard Mitigation Plan can inform updates and revisions to the Stormwater Management Program (SMP). On the other hand, watershed protection processes are a useful source of information for developing future mitigation actions. This Hazard Mitigation Plan should be aligned with the SMP.

Emergency Operations Plan
This Hazard Mitigation Plan will remain an essential tool to update the City Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The latest Hazard Mitigation Plan hazards descriptions will be included. Additionally, mitigation actions that are preparedness and response in nature will be analyzed for applicability and for inclusion in the description of EOP processes and procedures.

Capital Improvement Plan
The City will continue to ensure consistency between this Hazard Mitigation Plan and future updates of the Capital Improvement Plan. The Hazard Mitigation Plan may identify new possible funding sources for capital improvement projects and may result in modifications to proposed projects based on results of the risk assessment.

City Standard Plans and
Specifications
Hazard risk assessment results and mitigation actions of this Hazard Mitigation Plan will be considered in the next update for the City’s Standard Plans and Specifications.

The City’s Local Planning Team will identify all relevant planning initiatives that are scheduled to be updated in the next year and during the annual update process of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Additionally, opportunities to integrate key elements of the Hazard Mitigation Plan, specifically any relevant strategies, into the planning initiatives will be identified by the Local Planning Team. Mitigation actions were identified to promote plan integration in future revisions of this Plan.

7. SIGNIFICANT HAZARD PAST EVENTS

(Municipal Code Title 15, Chapter 7 – Flood Plain Management)

8.2.2. Substantial Improvement
Substantial improvement means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other proposed new development of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure before the “start of construction” of the improvement. This term includes structures which have incurred substantial damage, regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include either:

2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Contra Costa County, California
City of Brentwood Annex 17
• Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations or state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions. • Any alteration of a historic structure, provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a historic structure. (Municipal Code Title 15, Chapter 7 – Flood Plain Management)

8.3. Repetitive Loss and Severe Repetitive Loss Properties The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) defines a Repetitive Loss property as an NFIP insured structure with two (2) or more claims of more than $1,000 each within any rolling 10-year period, since 1978.2
A Severe Repetitive Loss property is defined by FEMA as any NFIP insured structure for which either of the following is true when at least two (2) of the claims are within 10 years of each other (claims made within 10 days will be counted as one (1) claim):
3 • That has incurred flood related damage for which four (4) or more separate claims payments have been made, with the amount of each claim (including buildings and contents payments) exceeding $5,000, and with the cumulative amount of such claims exceeding $20,000. • For which at least two (2) separate claims payments (building payments only) have been made under such coverage, with the cumulative amount of such claims exceeding the market value of the building.

Repetitive loss records from the City of Brentwood are listed in Table 13.

9. HAZARD VULNERABILITY AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Exposure and vulnerability to certain hazards affect the entire County and others are geographically defined. Although the entire County may be vulnerable to these hazards, their impacts may vary based on existing community conditions (e.g., underserved, or functional access needs populations may be more susceptible based on certain conditions, vulnerabilities, or needs).

The Local Planning Team identified unique vulnerabilities and impacts to the following natural hazards, based on the hazards profiled in Volume 1 (Planning Area-wide Elements). • Climate Change
• Dam and Levee Failure
• Drought

• Earthquake
• Flood (riverine/creek, urban/flash flood)
• Landslide
• Severe Weather (heavy rainfall, severe thunderstorms, strong winds/damaging winds, heat wave/extreme heat, tornado)
• Wildfire
It was determined that the planning area did not have unique vulnerabilities and impacts to the following natural hazards; rather, its vulnerability and impacts are consistent with those experienced throughout the County.
• Sea Level Rise
• Tsunami
Note: Severe weather and flooding are profiled as the two (2) hazards. However, in an effort to have a more thorough risk assessment, the sub hazards (i.e., heavy rainfall, severe thunderstorms, strong winds/damaging winds, heat wave/extreme heat, tornado, riverine/creek flooding, and urban/flash flooding) were ranked individually. The hazard risk assessment methodology can be found in Appendix C of this Annex.

Table 14 provides information on several key vulnerabilities and impacts for the City of Brentwood and only addresses the hazards that are relevant and unique to the jurisdiction. A complete risk assessment for each identified hazard of concern is in Volume 1 (Planning Area-wide Elements) of this Plan. Hazard mapping can be found in Appendix A of this Annex.

Table 14. Hazard Vulnerability and Impact Assessment
Hazards Vulnerabilities and Impacts
Climate Change
Climate change presents a profound threat to the City’s underserved population (i.e., low income households, unhoused individuals, aging community, and those residing in assisted living facilities) demanding a comprehensive and equitable approach to address its impacts and ensure a just and sustainable future for all Brentwood residents. Certain identified groups in Brentwood are more vulnerable than others to the health impacts of climate change due to social and economic factors like income, education, language barriers, health care access, and housing accommodations. Such factors can affect people’s abilities to prepare and cope with climate change.

Low-income households within the City of Brentwood are disproportionately vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to lack of resources and access to essential services. Residents of these groups often lack access to alternative water sources, making them heavily reliant on the City’s public water system and more susceptible to shortages during droughts, heat waves, infrastructure maintenance, and severe weather events. Their limited financial resources make it difficult to manage increased water and fuel costs, further increasing their risk during hazards related to climate change.

Additionally, the underserved population may face limited access to cooling centers, healthcare, and financial assistance, leaving them vulnerable to heat stress and other climate-related health impacts.

Hazards Vulnerabilities and Impacts
Dam and Levee Failure
Brentwood is not in a Levee Flood Protection Zone. The United States Army Corps of Engineers operates, maintains, and evaluates flood protection levees.

There are two (2) types of levees present in the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta area of Contra Costa County. This includes levees that are part of an authorized federal flood control project on the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta systems that deliver irrigation and drinking water. These are designated as "project" levees. All other levees in the Delta are "non-project" or "local" levees, which are maintained by local reclamation districts.

The Department of Water Resources have jurisdictional dam failure inundation maps and data available on the Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) website.

According to the Dam Breach Inundation Map Web Publisher, there are five (5) dams with approved inundation boundaries in proximity to the City. Marsh Creek, Dry Creek, Deer Creek, Upper Sand Detention Basin, and Antioch Reservoir are located to the west of city boundaries. Dry Creek is located within the southwestern portion of the City and is considered to have a high downstream hazard. The City continues to work with state and local agencies, such as the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to continue efforts to reduce flooding potential. Efforts include policies and actions that focus on adequate erosion control measures, flood control infrastructure maintenance, and flood hazard mitigation development standards.

In the event of a dam failure, vulnerable residents living within the inundation zones may not have resources to properly evacuate, prepare their homes/properties for flooding, and/or rebuilding efforts post disaster. Residents of this vulnerable group may reside in low-income housing or suffer from recognized disabilities that hinder their movements. In addition, the flood insurance required for these residents may produce an increased financial burden to the families affected by a dam failure.

2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Contra Costa County, California
City of Brentwood Annex 20
Hazards Vulnerabilities and Impacts
Drought
The City's water supply is derived from a combination of surface water from the Delta and groundwater from existing wells in the East Contra Costa Subbasin, which is a part of the larger San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin. The City has nine (9) permitted groundwater wells, five (5) of which are active. The City also purchased a permanent capacity share of six (6) million gallons per day (mgd) of water from the Randall-Bold Water Treatment Plan (RBWTP) in Oakley, CA on an as-need basis.

Landslides are often associated with earthquakes, but other factors may also influence their occurrence, including slope, moisture content of the soil, and composition of the subsurface geology. The potential for landslides increases with vegetation loss from wildland fires or droughts.

Droughts can lead to ecological disasters, lower groundwater levels, and reduced surface water quality and supply for the City of Brentwood. Low groundwater levels present risks of saltwater intrusion, inaccurate ground water readings, and diminished water quality of source water supplies. These impacts can increase operational costs for the City and incentives to encourage water conservation from customers which leads to reduced revenue, increased costs for treated water and potential increase costs for water quality testing, staff time, and response to emergency requests. However, this can result in prolonged effects on vulnerable residents already struggling to pay their basic water bills and open them up to increased risk to their general health and well-being.

Wildland fires present a considerable hazard to life and property in areas of Brentwood that are built within or adjacent to hillsides and mountainous areas commonly referred to as the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). Because of their distance from firefighting resources, wildfires can be difficult to contain and can cause lasting destruction. Short-term loss caused by a wildland fire can include the destruction of timber, wildlife habitat, structures, and watersheds. Long-term effects can include reduced access to affected recreational areas, and destruction of cultural and economic resources and community infrastructure.

The City’s WUI includes neighborhoods near rolling hills, native grasses, oak trees and fruit orchards, and golf courses.

Hazards Vulnerabilities and Impacts
Earthquake
While there are no known active faults located within City boundaries, there are numerous faults located in the regional vicinity. These faults include the Davis Fault and the Greenville-Marsh Creek Fault. The Davis Fault, also known as the Antioch Fault, is located along the western boundary of the City.

The Greenville-Marsh Creek fault produced a moderate magnitude earthquake in 1980 and the recurrence interval is estimated to be about 550 years. This fault is located approximately eight (8) miles south/southwest of Brentwood. The City's proximity to seismic faults makes it susceptible to geologic and seismic hazards, including expansive soils, subsidence, liquefaction, and landslides.

There are several structures (commercial and residential) in the downtown area, specifically a two (2) block radius from the intersection of First Street and Oak Street of Brentwood that are seismically unreinforced and prone to collapse.

Earthquakes are known for resulting in long term damage to buildings and infrastructure even after the initial hazard has occurred. Additionally, damage to underground facilities and utilities may be severely damaged with little or no evidence of the extent of damage, especially in areas of liquifying soils. These types of damage can result in extended repair or down time for large areas of the City and at times including adjacent municipalities. Vulnerable residents sometimes already live in older homes that are not built to current seismic building codes and are already in need of retrofit. These less resilient homes experience a greater level of damage caused by earthquakes, not to mention the temporary living accommodations necessary to shelter residents while seeking repair options for their homes. Language barriers can greatly impact the ability to complete and submit the required paperwork and documentation needed to process requests for financial help. The City’s vulnerable residents would be competing with all local and regional residents to secure funding and other resources in a short amount of time following an earthquake of any size and magnitude.

Flood
(urban/flash flood, riverine/creek)
Brentwood is subject to flooding along natural creeks and drainages that traverse the City. Marsh Creek, Dry Creek, Deer Creek, and Sand Creek are prominent drainages that are prone to flooding. The 100-year floodplain is largely confined to the drainage channels along these creeks, except along Marsh Creek starting near Dainty Avenue and extending northeast towards City boundaries. In this area, the 100-year and 500-year floodplain extends onto properties that are located immediately adjacent to this drainage.

Vulnerable residents living in these areas are at increased risks of being stranded in their homes without appropriate supplies and resources to evacuate or call for help. Brentwood does have multiple free sandbag locations made available to the general public. Vulnerable populations face an elevated risk of being isolated in their homes without the necessary resources to obtain supplies, as they may lack access to transportation or the physical ability to fill and transport sandbags on their own.

Uncompromised evacuation sites such as, community buildings, public schools and faith-based structures will be utilized for temporary shelter.

Hazards Vulnerabilities and Impacts
Landslides
Landslides are often associated with earthquakes, but other factors may also influence their occurrence, including slope, moisture content of the soil, and composition of the subsurface geology. The potential for landslides increases with vegetation loss from wildland fires or droughts.

The majority of landslide zones are located in areas of higher topography, such as Marsh Creek State Park. Heavy rainfall events or improper grading may trigger a landslide. Given the relatively level slopes throughout the majority of the City, the landslide potential is low.

The landslide potential increases in hilly terrain towards the west and south. A relevant landslide/mudslide event in the City occurred in 2017 which caused the water district's waterline to break. Liquefaction and landslide hazards can be attributed to factors such as expansive soils and subsidence hazards.

Expansive soils are soils that expand when exposed to water. Such expansion can cause structural damage to foundations and roads without properly maintained structural engineering. There are a variety of geotechnical strategies, such as groundwater management, surface water control, and development requirements, which can be implemented to mitigate the potential for landslides and liquefaction.

Like other natural hazards, landslides can have a significant impact to vulnerable residents in the City of Brentwood due to financial limitations, language barriers, and hardships when arranging for temporary housing accommodations and inability to access individual medical needs.

Sea Level Rise
The Local Planning Team determined that the City does not have unique vulnerabilities and impacts to sea level rise; rather, the City’s vulnerability and impacts are consistent with those experienced throughout the County.

Severe Weather
(heavy rainfall, severe
thunderstorms, strong
winds/damaging winds, heat
wave/extreme heat, tornado)
Similar to climate change, severe weather events can be anticipated but remain unpredictable during the past decade. The City of Brentwood has experienced some minor area flooding during heavy rainfall events.

The City of Brentwood has a high population of senior citizens including established 55 years old and older communities, such as Summerset, Trilogy, multiple assisted living facilities, and mobile home parks.

Historically, temperatures in the summer exceed over 100 degrees Fahrenheit several times, and often times, for consecutive days in a row. During these instances, the City of Brentwood has experienced "rolling blackouts" or other unplanned power outages. During these outages, homes are unable to run their air conditioners exposing the senior population that is uniquely vulnerable and susceptible to extreme heat.

Other vulnerabilities would include tornadoes and flooding.

Tsunami
The Local Planning Team determined that the City does not have unique vulnerabilities and impacts to tsunamis; rather, the City’s vulnerability and impacts are consistent with those experienced throughout the County.

Fires could ignite in urbanized areas of the City because of a wildland fire, earthquake, or some other phenomena. A disruption in the water system, causing a reduction in hydrant pressures, could allow a normally controllable fire to escape containment by firefighting forces and spread to adjoining buildings.

A fire that starts in the flatlands during severe winds may cause spot fires with flying brands and ignite other buildings downwind by igniting wood roofs or vegetation. Many factors contribute to an urban fire's severity and extent, but modern building codes and practices aim to reduce the impact of fires.

Areas such as Deer Valley, Black Diamond Mines Regional Park, and Mount Diablo are regions in proximity to the City that feature vegetation, slopes, and terrain that could lead to potential fire hazards for Brentwood residents.

Vulnerable residents residing or conducting business in the City of Brentwood are exposed to increased financial hardship in acquiring and managing permits and building projects (e.g., wildfire mitigation). Making them less likely to take proactive measures before wildfires occur. Additionally, the hardship of designating emergency supplies, emergency communication lines, and evacuation planning in general is amplified for these residents in times of disaster due to financial component and existing language barriers.

Active Shooter Incidents
The City of Brentwood has two (2) high schools, three (3) middle schools, and eight (8) elementary schools. In addition, the City of Brentwood has a year-round weekly downtown Farmers Market drawing large crowds. The City of Brentwood also has two (2) movie theaters and during the summer months, a weekly Concert in the park draws large crowds. Lastly, there are several other densely populated events scheduled throughout the year such as Brew Fest, Octoberfest, Cornfest, hometown Halloween, holiday parades, homecoming parades, and fourth of July parades. These locations and events may be vulnerable to active shooter incidents.

Cybersecurity Threats
The City of Brentwood is custodian to various forms of sensitive information involving the public including personally identifiable information (PII) and Criminal Justice Information (CJI). The City is also responsible for cataloging, monitoring, and maintaining various forms of public infrastructure.

Hazardous Materials
Incidents
The City of Brentwood has a major trucking route on Highway 4, which runs through the City.

The City of Brentwood also has several major gas lines that run throughout the City.

Although there are no active train lines within the City, there are lines that could become active in the future. However, there are active train lines in the neighboring cities of Oakley, Knightsen, and Antioch.

Additionally, the City of Brentwood has a Wastewater Treatment Plant that stores hazardous materials.

Terrorism (Weapons of
Mass Destruction)
Brentwood has multiple religious groups that may be susceptible or targeted for attacks.

Utility Interruptions
The City of Brentwood has experienced and is on the PG&E rotation for the PG&E Power Safety Shut-Offs (i.e., rolling brownouts).

There is a PG&E substation located within the City limits located on Concord Avenue, which could be vulnerable to acts of terrorism.

The City evaluated whether vulnerability and impact in hazard prone areas had increased, decreased, or remained the same for each natural hazard identified in this Hazard Mitigation Plan. Climate change, changes in population, infrastructure expansion, and economic shifts that can affect vulnerability were considered. For example, if planned development is in an identified hazard areas or is not built to the updated building codes, it may increase the community’s vulnerability to future hazards and disasters.

On the other hand, if development occurred with mitigation practices in place, the vulnerability may have remained the same or decreased. Additionally, shifting demographics (e.g., underserved population) were taken into consideration.

Table 15 outlines if climate change has increased or decreased the City’s vulnerability (i.e., exposure) and impact to each natural hazard over the past five (5) years, and the effect of climate change in the future probability of occurrence and impacts from each natural hazard.

See Table 4 for anticipated future major assets that may be exposed or vulnerable to any of the natural hazards identified in this Hazard Mitigation Plan. Any new assets (e.g., new construction in hazard prone areas) will be constructed to adhere to the latest building codes and standards, and mitigation to protect them from identified and anticipated hazards, especially those that are expected to increase due to climate change.

Refer to Appendix C and Appendix D of this Annex for the hazard risk assessment methodology and jurisdiction specific details, which includes the vulnerability and impacts to population and life safety, underserved/equity, property damage, future development, and climate change.

9.1. FEMA National Risk Index
In the National Risk Index (NRI), risk is defined as the potential for negative impacts as a result of a natural hazard. The Risk Index is based on three (3) components – a natural hazards component (Expected Annual Loss), a consequence enhancing component (Social Vulnerability), and a consequence reduction component (Community Resilience). Using these components, the composite and hazard type Risk Index values are calculated for each community (county and Census Tract). Risk Index values form an absolute basis for measuring Risk within the NRI and are used to generate Risk

Contra Costa County, California
City of Brentwood Annex 27
Index percentiles and ratings across communities.4 Table 18 illustrates the Risk Index rating and score for the City of Brentwood.

Note: ArcGIS mapping analysis was performed utilizing Census Tract data by overlaying Census Tracts with the City of Brentwood planning area boundary. The information outlined in this section includes data from the Census Tracts that intersect the jurisdiction.

Table 18. Risk Index Score (FEMA National Risk Index)
Jurisdiction Rating Score
City of Brentwood Very High 81.1
Risk Index scores are calculated using an equation that combines scores for Expected Annual Loss due to natural hazards, Social Vulnerability and Community Resilience (Expected Annual Loss x Social Vulnerability / Community Resilience = Risk Index).

9.1.1. Expected Annual Loss
The FEMA NRI Expected Annual Loss (EAL), the natural hazards component of the NRI, represents the average economic loss in dollars resulting from natural hazards each year. It is calculated for each hazard type and quantifies loss for relevant consequence types – buildings, people, and agriculture. The EAL score and rating represent a community's relative level of expected losses each year when compared to all other communities at the same level. Since the score is associated to a community’s risk; the higher EAL score results in a higher Risk Index score.5 Table 19 illustrates each hazard EAL for the City of Brentwood.

Expected annual loss scores are calculated utilizing an equation that combines values for exposure, annualized frequency, and historic loss ratios (Expected Annual Loss = Exposure x Annualized Frequency x Historic Loss Ratio).

An EAL score and rating is calculated independently for each consequence type (i.e., buildings, population, and agriculture) for each county and Census Tract. The population EAL is measured in fatalities and injuries while the building and agriculture values are measured in dollars. However, for consistency in the unit of measurement, the population EAL was monetized into population equivalence using a value of statistical life (VSL) approach where each fatality or 10 injuries is treated as $11.6 Million of economic loss.

9.1.2. Social Vulnerability
Social vulnerability, the consequence enhancing risk component of the NRI, measures the susceptibility of social groups to the adverse impacts of natural hazards, including disproportionate death, injury, loss, or disruption of livelihood. The Social Vulnerability score and rating represent the relative level of a community’s social vulnerability compared to all other communities at the same level. A higher Social Vulnerability score results in a higher Risk Index score.6 Table 20 illustrates the Social Vulnerability rating and score for City of Brentwood.

Table 20. Social Vulnerability (FEMA National Risk Index) Jurisdiction Rating Score
City of Brentwood Relatively Low 39.7
Social Vulnerability is measured using the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) published by the University of South Carolina’s Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute (HVRI).

9.1.3. Community Resilience
Community resilience, the consequence reduction risk component, measures the ability of a community to prepare for anticipated natural hazards, adapt to changing conditions, and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. The Community Resilience score and rating represent the relative level of a community’s resilience compared to all other communities at the same level. Since the score is inversely 6 Federal Emergency Management Agency. (2023). Social Vulnerability. Retrieved from https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/social-vulnerability.

proportional to a community’s risk; the higher Community Resilience score results in a lower Risk Index score.7 Table 21 illustrates the Community Resilience rating and score for the City of Brentwood.

Table 21. Community Resilience (FEMA National Risk Index) Jurisdiction Rating Score
City of Brentwood Relatively High 66.4
Community Resilience is measured using the Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities (HVRI BRIC) published by the University of South Carolina's Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute (HVRI).

9.1.4. Annualized Frequency
Annualized frequency is defined as the expected frequency or probability of a hazard occurrence per year. It is a natural hazard incidence factor for Expected Annual Loss, the natural hazards component of the National Risk Index. A higher annualized frequency value results in higher Expected Annual Loss and Risk Index scores. The annualized frequency is derived from either the number of recorded hazard occurrences each year over a given period or the modeled probability of a hazard occurrence each year (e.g., earthquake).
8 Table 22 outlines the annualized frequency for each hazard, based on FEMA NRI data, for the City of Brentwood.

of this Annex, the ranking process involves an assessment of the likelihood of occurrence for each hazard, along with its potential impacts on people, property, and the economy. For further details on how the probability, extent, vulnerability, and impact factors in Table 23 were calculated, please refer to Appendix D of this Annex.

It is important to note that the sub hazards for severe weather hazards (i.e., heavy rainfall, severe thunderstorms, strong winds/damaging winds, heat wave/extreme heat, and tornado) and flood hazards (i.e., riverine/creek flooding and urban/flash flooding) were individually ranked in the hazard risk ranking; however, flood and severe weather are each considered as the main hazard throughout this Annex and Volume 1 (Planning Area-wide Elements).

11. MITIGATION ACTIONS
This section includes the mitigation actions that were developed to address identified risks and vulnerabilities to hazards identified in this Plan. This Plan serves only to recommend mitigation measures based on the potential for risk reduction and available funding. Implementation of mitigation actions is dependent on risk reduction priorities, feasibility, and available funding. It is also dependent on the cooperation and support of the jurisdiction and/or department responsible for each action item.

The City of Brentwood agreed upon nine (9) mitigation actions that apply to the jurisdiction’s properties where they have jurisdictional responsibility and authority. One (1) mitigation action was deleted/no longer needed, and one (1) mitigation action was completed. A summary of the City’s mitigation actions status is listed in Table 24.

Mitigation
Action
Develop a Business Continuity Plan. The Plan should support the City's overall goal of maintaining continuity of operation when normal operations are disrupted. Additionally, it should include a Business Impact Analysis which seeks to identify missioncritical business/operational functions and the technologies used to support those functions, the potential impact on City operations should those technologies become unavailable, and the timeframe in which access to the applications must be restored. The plan would provide the foundation for the timely recovery of core applications in the event of an unplanned event or outage based on business and operational requirements. The plan should also:
• Define the implementation strategy.
• Identify personnel resources, documentation, facilities, hardware, software, offsite services, and training required to meet business and operational recovery requirements.
• Provide for the development and implementation of a plan to identify and remediate single points of failure in the City's IT infrastructure.
• Provide for the development and implementation of a strategy to periodically test and evaluate the effectiveness of the procedures that have been adopted and modify them as needed.

The City's approach to this project should include:
• The development of a project charter for the Business Impact Analysis which outlines the scope and objectives of the effort, the resources (user and IS) that are required, and any needed funding for external resources, etc. The project charter should be reviewed and approved by the City's Executive Team.
• The creation of a dedicated committee under the aegis of the City's Executive Team to participate in the development of the Business Impact Analysis since this will require the involvement of the City's IT Governance Committee as well as the IS Division.
• The creation and approval of a project charter for the short-term identification and remediation of single points of failure within the City's IT infrastructure, potentially utilizing web services as a fallback for business and operational applications that are hosted on-premises within the City. This could potentially include - The prioritization of some projects which would reduce the City's dependency of on premises services for functions such as email; a systematic review of the City's present strategy for virtualization with the objective of identifying the issues related to the recent outage experienced by the City and steps that should be taken to preclude future events; and the identification of reliable, local (i.e., Northern California) technology resources that can be called upon by the City for assistance at short notice in the event of an incident and the development of contracts with them.

Action
Develop a Cybersecurity Plan. The Plan should be conformant with the requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the International Organization for Standardization (IOS), and/or the SANS Institute that identifies the steps to be taken to prepare for a cybersecurity attack, identify intrusions, neutralize them, and exposures that lead to intrusions. In addition, the cybersecurity plan should:
• Define the necessary steps to improve the security of physical facilities (i.e., server rooms, wiring closets, and remote facilities).
• Define the steps required to perform risk assessments on a periodic basis (i.e., network penetration testing by a certified external resource).
• Define the steps required to detect and respond to cybersecurity events, the steps that should be taken following the event to recover from the incident, and to update procedures to prevent future occurrences. • Define a strategy to periodically educate users (especially those using mobile devices) regarding security risks, safe networking practices, and their responsibility to protect information and assets.

APPENDIX A. HAZARD MAPS
The following hazards were mapped for the City of Brentwood – floods, landslides, and wildfires. • Figure 1 illustrates the City of Brentwood Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHZ), including each Flood Zone, and the 500-year floodplain. Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) show the flood zones, floodplain boundaries, and Base Floor Elevation (BFE) and are used for floodplain management, flood insurance ratings, and to determine flood insurance requirements. FIRMs show areas with a 1% chance of flooding each year, commonly known as the 100-year floodplains, and are illustrated as the SFHA.9 The 500-year floodplains show areas with a 0.2% chance of flooding each year.
• Figure 2 illustrates landslide susceptibility in the City. Landslide susceptibility maps describe the relative likelihood of future land sliding based solely on the intrinsic properties of a location or site.

There are three (3) site factors that most determine susceptibility – prior failure, rock or soil strength, and steepness of slope.10

APPENDIX B. STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
The mitigation planning process promotes awareness of hazard risks and continues the conversation about the community’s safety and resilience. A hazard mitigation plan generates additional community support when it accurately reflects the values and priorities of the community which will lead to successfully implementing the mitigation actions and projects identified in this Plan.

Federal regulations for mitigation plan approval require that stakeholders and the general public are given opportunities to be involved in the plan’s development and update process. Input from community members can strengthen the content and outcomes of the hazard mitigation plan. Furthermore, the Plan must state continued public engagement as the Plan is carried out during its lifetime. A public outreach strategy outlines what the community intends to achieve throughout the outreach efforts. Additionally, it identifies who to involve in the process, and how and when to effectively engage the community. Contra Costa County and the City of Brentwood worked together to ensure that the stakeholder and public engagement was meaningful and productive. Refer to Volume 1 (Planning Area-wide Elements) for further information on how stakeholders and the general public were given opportunities to be involved throughout the planning process. However, every plan participant employed a slightly tailored engagement strategy that suits the community’s demographics, including the underserved population, and needs in addition to the lead jurisdiction’s engagement strategy.

The City’s stakeholders and the public were given a number of opportunities to be involved throughout the planning process. Opportunities were provided via a public survey, in-person and virtual public meetings, and public engagement activities to review the Plan draft (i.e., public comment period). The public meetings allowed the County to introduce the Plan update, identify additional hazards of concern that should be included, if any, and to provide input for the various mitigation measures intended to eliminate or reduce the negative impact to those hazards. Language translation assistance in Spanish was available in all public meetings. The public survey asked community representatives and members of the public to rate each of the hazards in terms of perceived risk. Furthermore, they were asked to rate “mitigation importance” for each of the identified hazards in the Plan. The information gathered from this survey was used to inform the hazard risk prioritization process, and to ensure the Plan adequately addressed the public’s concerns and priorities. The survey was available in English, Spanish, Tagalog, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. A total of 60 respondents that lived in the City and 22 that worked in the City participated in the survey. Please refer to Volume 1 (Planning Area-wide Elements) for further information and supporting documentation of the public meetings and public survey.

How Public Input was Incorporated into the Plan
Information and feedback gained through the public survey, public meetings, and public comment period provided valuable data to validate and confirm the risk assessment findings and potential mitigation strategies. Specifically, feedback from the public offered during the public meetings offered greater insights into the public’s concerns regarding specific hazards and their impacts. The public also offered specific initiatives they felt would create greater resiliency for the City and its residents.

Survey results helped validate the hazards included in the Plan, the hazard ranking process, and areas where the County and jurisdictions could further improve outreach and education efforts. Open-ended responses, specifically regarding their experience with damages from past hazards, helped to validate hazard-specific impact data in Chapter 4 (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) of Volume 1 (Planning Area-wide Elements). These, and related findings, helped the County and City Core Planning Teams determine meaningful mitigation projects.

2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Contra Costa County, California
City of Brentwood Annex 51
After the public comment period ended, seven (7) public feedback forms were received for the City of Brentwood Annex. The Local Planning Team reviewed the comments and will implement mitigation and preparedness efforts moving forward, if deemed appropriate. However, in order to keep the Plan current after it is approved, the City will ensure that the public continues to be involved in the Plan and how it is carried out. Refer to Section B.2 of this Annex for further details on continued public engagement.

B.1. Public Comment Period
Once the draft Plan was completed, the public was given an opportunity to review and provide comments on the County Hazard Mitigation Plan, including the City of Brentwood’s Annex, prior to submitting the Plan to the State and FEMA. The countywide public comment Period began on April 22, 2024, and went on through May 31, 2024. Prior to the public comment period, the Contra Costa County Core Planning Team conducted a strategy meeting with all plan participants (i.e., City of Brentwood) that served as a brainstorming session and helped determine the public outreach goals and proper outreach methods for the public comment period. Subsequently, the City of Brentwood Core Planning Team developed a public outreach strategy that meets the City’s unique needs of the community to engage stakeholders and the public during the public comment period. The City ensured equitable outreach by targeting Contra Costa County’s vulnerable communities, including the younger (under 18 years old) and elderly (over 65 years old) population, individuals with limited English proficiency, and those with access and functional needs.

The City of Brentwood Local Planning Team coordinated with its stakeholders to ensure that the public had an opportunity to learn about the Plan, mitigation actions planned for their community, and ways to get involved in the planning process. To ensure equitable outreach a calendar was created to strategize and map all events. Outreach to the Brentwood community involved a combination of in person, printed, and digital media starting on April 22, 2024, through the end of the public comment period on May 31, 2024. To ensure equitable outreach a calendar was created to strategize and map all events.

Printed Materials
Two (2) different types of materials were created specifically for the public comment period and the City rebranded the materials with the City logo, as seen in the outreach pictures within this Appendix. The trifold (Figure B-1) contains information on the planning process, the top three (3) hazards in the County, ways to prepare, and ways to get involved in the planning process. A full-page flyer (Figure B-2) was created with information on the planning process, ways to get involved, and ways to prepare. Printed materials were distributed in English and Spanish at public meetings and outreach events. Having the materials available in multiple languages allowed more of the community to receive information about the Hazard Mitigation Plan, ways to comment, and how to prepare for disasters. Printed materials are especially helpful to communities with limited English proficiency as the materials include a visual component.

Stakeholder Engagement
Due to the size of the Plan (the Base Plan and 40 annexes), some stakeholders would receive the same invitation a significant amount of times. For a more productive outreach and to avoid overwhelming stakeholders, Contra Costa County sent a single invitation to all the countywide stakeholders via e-mail.

However, each plan participant was required to cross-reference the countywide list and identify the stakeholders that applied specifically to their jurisdiction. Not only did this help ensure that a comprehensive list was compiled as part of the stakeholder engagement, but it assisted each plan participant identify any additional stakeholders that may have not been on the list. Table 25 outlines the stakeholders the City identified and provided an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the draft Plan and Annex, via the countywide stakeholders e-mail.

APPENDIX C. HAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
As part of the Contra Costa County Office of Emergency Services (OES), the risk assessment identifies the natural, human-caused, and technological hazards that have potential impacts on all or portions of the County. Hazard identification, historical occurrences, and risk modeling (where applicable and available for specific hazards) information was collected from multiple sources including, but not limited to:
• Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri)
• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
• National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) • National Weather Services (NWS)
• United States Geological Survey (USGS)
• Local repositories
This information was analyzed to assess the risk and vulnerability of people, property, the environment, and the jurisdiction’s essential operations from these hazards. Furthermore, a risk ranking was performed for the hazards of concern described in this Plan. The risk ranking is an important step in developing an action plan, as it allows jurisdictions to compare the risk factors from one hazard to another. That comparison provides critical information to use in selecting hazard mitigation actions and their priorities.

This process is not only intended to help focus actions on the hazards with the highest ranking, but also to ensure that jurisdictions are aware of the hazards that ranked low yet still pose significant risk.

In order to provide an informed and comprehensive ranking of the hazards addressed in this Plan, a number of factors were considered: probability, extent, vulnerability, and impact. The sum of all the weighted factors for the extent, vulnerability, and impact categories was combined into a final consequence score. Probability multiplied by consequence resulted in a total risk score for each hazard.

These results were determined by following a data driven quantitative assessment, reviewing, and ranking local knowledge from local subject matter experts, and developing other risk elements by the Core Planning Team based on the data collected. These elements were then aggregated to inform the analysis.

At the fundamental level, consequence is an assessment of the potential impact(s) if the hazard incident actually occurs. In this assessment, the consequence of an event (or the impact) will be interdependent on the following factors:
• Vulnerabilities (i.e., social, physical, and community conditions) • Capabilities and capacities
• Mitigation
Extent + Vulnerability + Impact = Consequence
Consequence x Probability = Total Risk Score

2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Contra Costa County, California
City of Brentwood Annex 75
• Characteristics of the hazard event (i.e., magnitude, scale) The frequency/probability of the hazard is not included in assessing the consequence because without the event, there is no consequence or impact.

C.1. Probability of Occurrence
The probability of occurrence of a hazard is indicated by a probability factor based on the likelihood of annual occurrence. Numerical probability factors were assigned as follows.

Table 26 outlines the probability of occurrence factors used in the risk assessment calculations for this Plan. A significant hazard event is defined as any hazard occurrence that directly or indirectly damages structures or infrastructure, impedes normal business operations, and/or is likely to cause serious or fatal injuries.

Table 26. Probability of Occurrence
Probability Description Probability
Factor
High Significant hazard event is likely to occur annually. 3 Medium Significant hazard event is likely to occur within 25 years. 2 Low Significant hazard event is likely to occur within 100 years. 1 Unlikely There is little to no probability of significant occurrence, or the recurrence interval is greater than every 100 years. 0
The assessment of hazard frequency is generally based on past hazard events in the area and professional judgment of local subject matter experts.

C.2. Extent Factors
Extent was assessed in two (2) categories – extent/intensity potential and catastrophic probability of the hazard. Numerical extent factors were assigned as follows.

C.2.1. Extent/Intensity Factor
Extent is defined as the range of anticipated intensities of the identified hazards. This category is most commonly expressed using various scientific scales (e.g., Saffir-Simpson, Enhanced Fujita, Modified Mercalli). Extent/Intensity Factors are hazard-specific and are detailed in each hazard profile. Table 27 outlines the extent/intensity factors used in the risk assessment calculations for this Plan.

Table 27. Extent/Intensity Factor
Probability Description Extent
Factor
High Historical and/or probabilistic models/studies for this hazard indicate the possibility of a high-intensity incident. 3
Medium Historical and/or probabilistic models/studies for this hazard indicate the possibility of a medium-intensity incident. 2
Low Historical and/or probabilistic models/studies for this hazard indicate the possibility of a low-intensity incident. 1
Unlikely Historical and/or probabilistic models/studies for this hazard indicate the possibility of little to no intensity. 0

2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Contra Costa County, California
City of Brentwood Annex 76
C.2.2. Catastrophic Factor
The probability that a hazard could be catastrophic. Catastrophes are defined as significant incidents that cause sudden and great harm or destruction. Table 28 outlines the catastrophic factors used in the risk assessment calculations for this Plan.

Table 28. Catastrophic Factor
Probability Description Extent
Factor
High Catastrophic hazard event is likely to occur at least once in 10 years. 3 Medium Catastrophic hazard event is likely to occur at least once between 11 and 50 years. 2
Low Catastrophic hazard event is likely to occur at least once in 51 or more years.
1 Unlikely Virtually no probability that this hazard could be catastrophic. 0 Each category was assigned a weighting factor to reflect its significance, consistent with this typically used for measuring the benefits of hazard mitigation actions – a weighting factor of three (3) was assigned for Extent/Intensity and its potential for Catastrophe.

C.3. Vulnerability Factors
Vulnerabilities were assessed in three (3) categories – population exposure, property exposure, and exposure based on changes in development. Numerical vulnerability factors were assigned as follows.

C.3.1. Population Exposure Factor
Population exposure values were assigned based on the percentage of the total population exposed to the hazard event. Table 29 outlines the population exposure factors used in the risk assessment calculations for this Plan.

Table 29. Population Exposure Factor
Probability Description Vulnerability
Factor
High 30% or more of the population is exposed to the hazard. 3 Medium 15% to 29% of the population is exposed to the hazard. 2 Low 14% or less of the population is exposed to the hazard. 1 No Vulnerability None of the population is exposed to the hazard. 0 C.3.2. Property Exposure Factor
Property exposure values were assigned based on the percentage of the total property value exposed to the hazard event. Table 30 outlines the property exposure factors used in the risk assessment calculations for this Plan.

Changes in development in the past five (5) years have increased or decreased the community’s vulnerability/exposure to the hazard. Table 31 outlines the changes in development factors used in the risk assessment calculations for this Plan.

Table 31. Changes in Development Factor
Probability Description Vulnerability
Factor
High Changes in development have increased the vulnerability/exposure of the community to the hazard by 10% or more. 3
Medium Changes in development have increased the vulnerability/exposure of the community to the hazard between 5% and 9%. 2
Low Changes in development have increased the vulnerability/exposure of the community to the hazard by 4% or less. 1
No Vulnerability Changes in development had no effect and/or have decreased the vulnerability/exposure of the community to the hazard. 0 Each category was assigned a weighting factor to reflect the significance, consistent with those typically used for measuring the benefits of hazard mitigation actions – a weighting factor of three (3) was assigned for Population Exposure, and a weighting factor of one (1) was assigned for Property Exposed and Changes in Development.

C.4. Impact Factors
Hazard impacts were assessed in eight (8) categories – population and life/safety, underserved/equity, property damages, economic, environmental, essential operations, future development, and climate change. Numerical impact factors were assigned as follows.

C.4.1. Population and Life Safety Factor
Population and life safety values were assigned based on the best available data (historical and probabilistic) for people vulnerable to the hazard event and whether the affected population is likely to experience adverse impacts from the hazard incident. Table 32 outlines the population and life safety factors used in the risk assessment calculations for this Plan.

FEMA’s approval of the 2024 Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan remains for a period of five years from the original approval date of September 18, 2024, for all approved participants. An updated list of the status of current participating jurisdictions is enclosed with this letter.

Prior to September 18, 2029, Contra Costa County and all participating jurisdictions are required to review and revise the plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding.

The continued approval of this plan ensures Contra Costa County and all participating jurisdictions’ continued eligibility for project grants under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program, and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program. All requests for funding, however, will be evaluated individually according to the specific eligibility, and other requirements of the particular program under which applications are submitted.

Contra Costa Transportation Authority CAC Application – Page 2 Briefly describe your interest in serving on the Citizens Advisory Committee, citing any relevant volunteer or work experience.

List and briefly describe any participation in volunteer, community or professional organizations that are relevant to your candidacy for the Citizens Advisory Committee.

What is your particular interest in transportation?
I am interested in serving on the Citizens Advisory Committee because I am passionate about community-focused transportation planning and believe in the importance of public engagement in shaping the future of our region. I bring relevant experience from my service as Vice Chair and current member of the Citizens Oversight Committee (COC) for the Brentwood Union School District, where I’ve been involved in reviewing and advising on district expenditures and facilities planning.

Additionally, I have served on the Adams Middle School Parents Club for the past three years, including the last two years as President, where I’ve helped lead initiatives that support students, staff, and families. My ongoing volunteer work with several nonprofit organizations has deepened my commitment to equitable and sustainable community development. I’m eager to contribute my experience and civic engagement background to support the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s goals and ensure that community voices are heard in the decision-making process.

I serve on the Brentwood Union School District Citizens Oversight Committee, reviewing public expenditures and supporting transparency. I am the current President of the Adams Middle School Parents Club and have volunteered there for three years. I also serve as Treasurer for a local nonprofit organization. Professionally, I’ve been actively involved with the ASCE Construction Institute and Geo-Institute for nearly 20 years, supporting initiatives related to infrastructure, transportation, and public works As a licensed civil engineer practicing engineering in California for nearly two decades, I have a deep understanding of infrastructure and transportation systems. I am particularly interested in using my professional expertise to contribute to CCTA’s mission by actively participating as a citizen advisor. I hope to support the Authority in implementing the voter-approved transportation expenditure plan and the growth management plan through informed, practical input that reflects both technical knowledge and community needs.

Contra Costa Transportation Authority CAC Application – Page 3 I acknowledge that I will be required to submit a California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests within 30 days of assuming office, annually on April 1st and upon leaving office.

I acknowledge that I will be required to obtain and submit Ethics Certification within 6 months of assuming office and every 2 years thereafter (while in office) I acknowledge that I will be required to obtain and submit Sexual Harassment Prevention and Policy Certification within 6 months of assuming office and every 2 years thereafter (while in office)
I have sufficient time to devote to this responsibility and will attend the required meetings if appointed to the Citizens Advisory Committee.

On March 25, 2025, by Resolution No. 2025-30, the City Council appointed Francisco and Associates as the Engineer of Work for the City’s Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
06/10/2025
SUBJECT: Consider approval of successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Brentwood and the Brentwood Employees Association Miscellaneous Office Division for 7/1/2024 – 6/30/2027 and authorize approval of all necessary actions to implement the MOU
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources/City Manager’s Office
STAFF: Sukari Beshears, Interim Assistant City Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to: 1) execute a Successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Brentwood and the Brentwood Employees Association Miscellaneous Office Division for the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027; 2) establish seven (7) new classifications, job descriptions, and salary ranges; 3) abolish eighteen (18) obsolete classifications, job descriptions, and salary ranges; 4) adopt an updated 2024/25 Pay Schedule in accordance with 2 CCR Section 570.5, and authorize the Director of Human Resources/Risk Manager in consultation with the City Attorney to make ministerial revisions to it; and 5) adopt Appropriations Amendments to the 2024/25 – 2025/26 General Fund Operating Budget.

The proposed actions will ensure: 1) there is a current agreement between the City of Brentwood and Brentwood Employees Association Miscellaneous Office Division (BEAMOD) regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, and 2) the City implements updated classification and compensation changes for BEAMOD members as a result of the citywide Classification and Compensation Study conducted by Koff & Associates, a Division of Gallagher Company.

FISCAL IMPACT
Personnel costs are by far the largest category of General Fund expenditure, comprising nearly 2/3 of all General Fund appropriations.

The additional Operating Budget expenditure increases required for this item are as follows:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
06/10/2025
The General Fund two-year projection presented during the Mid-Year Operating Budget review in January included these anticipated budget and expenditure increases. As such, approval of this item will not impact staff’s General Fund financial projections.

Staff’s most recent fiscal projections from mid-April anticipate that General Fund operating revenues will be sufficient in the two-year period to cover operating and one-time expenses with no deficit spending from ongoing operations. However, approximately $850,000 is projected to be needed as a transfer into the General Fund from the Budget Stabilization Fund to increase the General Fund Reserve of 30% of operating expenses pursuant to Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-5 (‘Budget and Fiscal Policies’).

This is an improvement from the prior forecast primarily due to increased revenue projections. However, this projection will be updated to incorporate the proposed Mid-Term budget adjustments and be presented to the City Council on June 24, 2025, but are not expected to increase the increase the transfer from the Budget Stabilization Fund. Additionally, the recent economic volatility associated with the uncertainty of tariff implementation will likely result in longer term fiscal challenges from inflation and increased pension costs due to CalPERS investment losses.

BACKGROUND
The City’s interest is to be fair and equitable to employees and to maintain competitive salaries and benefits. The City will also continue to chart a fiscally sustainable path into the future for its employees, and the citizens it serves, by maintaining reserves and avoiding increases to unfunded obligations.

Classification and Compensation Study Implementation
On February 25, 2025, the City Council accepted the Classification and Compensation Reports prepared by Koff & Associates, a Division of Gallagher Company (“Consultant”), for a citywide Classification and Compensation Study (“Study”). The Consultant, with input from the City and bargaining groups, completed their review of the City’s existing classification system and analysis of work performed by employees in addition to assessing the city’s needs going forward. Staff shared that they would bring the salary changes to a future Council meeting for consideration and approval prior to implementation.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
06/10/2025
The salary changes include establishing new classifications, abolishing obsolete classifications, and adopting a Pay Schedule in accordance with state law (specifically, 2 CCR Section 570.5).

The previous City Manager reviewed the findings with each department director before rendering a decision on the implementation phase of the study to bring before Council for consideration and final approval. City staff shared the implementation phase of the Study with bargaining groups and met and conferred with the groups over the impacts. While the City Council approved classification and compensation changes for most of the bargaining groups on May 13, 2025, BEAMOD changes were pending the outcome of negotiations and those changes are now before the City Council for consideration.

Classification changes with current incumbents will be effective retroactively to July 1, 2024 in accordance with Section 6 (‘Salaries’) and Appendix A of the proposed new BEAMOD MOU. New classifications that have vacant positions will be effective upon the City Council’s adoption.

ESTABLISH 7 NEW CLASSIFICATIONS
The new classifications proposed for the City’s updated classification system captures the body of work necessary to provide city services today and in the future. If the proposed new classifications are approved by the City Council (Municipal Code

2.24.010 Personnel system), they would be added to the City’s Classification Plan along with the attached job descriptions and salary ranges.

Proposed New Classifications:

Community Development Technician I/II
Geographic Information Systems Technician
Information Systems Technician I/II
Payroll Technician
Senior Accounting Assistant
Based on similarities between the new proposed classifications and classifications represented by BEAMOD, the City Employer Relations Officer proposed modifications, in accordance with Section 14 of the City’s Employer-Employee Relations Resolution, Policy No. 20-17.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
06/10/2025
Community Development Technician I/II, Information Systems Technician I/II, Payroll Technician, and Senior Accounting Assistant The new classifications of Community Development Technician I/II, Information Systems Technician I/II, Payroll Technician, and Senior Accounting Assistant will be filled through reclassification of occupied budgeted positions. Each incumbent is performing the duties and responsibilities of the aforementioned new classifications, as found and recommended by the Consultant. The recommendation to reclassify the positions to the new classifications was reviewed by City staff and the City concurs.

The same bargaining group, BEAMOD, represents the new classifications and the current classifications. The City and BEAMOD met and conferred over the impacts and BEAMOD concurs with the changes. The salary ranges proposed were set based on the market and/or internal alignment, and they are consistent with other similar level classifications represented by BEAMOD.

Geographic Information Systems Technician
On June 25, 2024, the City Council approved a budgeted position for Geographic Information Systems Technician in the Engineering Department. The City Council’s approval to establish the classification, job description, and salary range is required before a recruitment can begin. The City will fill this position through an open competitive recruitment.

The duties and responsibilities in the proposed new Geographic Information Systems Technician classification are similar to classifications represented by the BEAMOD.

Therefore, staff recommends that the BEAMOD bargaining group represent the new classification. The City has notified representatives of BEAMOD, and BEAMOD concurs with this placement. The salary range proposed was set based on internal alignment and is consistent with other similar level classifications represented by BEAMOD.

ABOLISH 18 OBSOLETE CLASSIFICATIONS
As part of the City’s final review of the consultant’s recommended classification system, which included the input received from the City employees, supervisors, managers, and bargaining groups, the City identified 18 classifications that are obsolete and not in use (Exhibit C). Abolishing the 18 obsolete classifications will provide a current and more accurate representation of the work performed by the City and will aid in the City’s efforts in establishing an updated and well-structured classification system. The effective date of abolishing the classifications will be effective on the date of Council adoption, with the exception of the Project Services Specialist, which will be abolished once the current incumbent vacates the position.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
06/10/2025
The City has notified representatives of BEAMOD bargaining group regarding the proposed unit modifications. BEAMOD concurs with the City’s recommendation to abolish the respective classifications.

At no time shall the maximum medical premium amount paid by the City be less than the Kaiser employee only rate. This maximum amount includes the PEMHCA minimum.

For employees hired on or after July 1, 2012:

The maximum premium amount paid by the City for an employee retiring on or after July 1, 2012 shall be equal to the PEMHCA minimum amount.

Retirees shall be responsible for payment of any excess premium costs due CalPERS. The payment method of excess premium will be prescribed by CalPERS.

The City shall increase the maximum medical premium amount to match the PEMHCA minimum amount in compliance with the required PEMHCA minimum amount.

16.4 Cash In-Lieu of Medical Coverage
Employees that provide proof of alternative minimum essential coverage for the employee and the employee’s taxable family (individuals for whom the employee expects to claim a personal exemption deduction), may elect to receive “cash in-lieu” of medical coverage after they provide annual proof of such medical coverage to the Human Resources Department. Individual coverage and individual coverage from Covered California does not qualify as alternative minimum essential coverage for this section.

For those employees who received the “cash in-lieu” amount on or before May 1 2014, and retained the benefit, the maximum benefit amount will be $668.63 per month.

The “cash in-lieu” benefit amount shall be $300 per month for: a) employees hired after May 1, 2014; or, existing employees who discontinue the City’s medical coverage and opt for “cash in-lieu” of medical coverage at a later date as long as they meet the requirements as described above.

16.4.1 Separate and apart from the obligations governing the calculation and payment of contractual overtime as defined in section 8 above, and for purposes of compliance with the holding in Flores v. City of San Gabriel, 824 F.3d 890 (2016), the BEAMOD agrees that the City will calculate and

EXHIBIT A

18 pay overtime as defined under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) using the following formulas for employees receiving cash in lieu of medical coverage:
• For those employees who receive $300 per month: $300/173.33 =

1.73 x 1.5 = $2.595 paid per hour over 40 hours in a seven day work period.
• For those employees who receive $668.63 per month:
$668.63/173.33 = 3.86 x 1.5 = $5.79 paid per hour over 40 hours in a seven day work period.

The City will determine the amount of FLSA overtime owed the employee, if any, for the seven day work period. To the extent the amount of FLSA overtime owed exceeds the amount of contractual overtime paid for that work period pursuant to section 7.2, the City will pay the employee the difference by way of an “FLSA pay adjustment” no later than the following pay day using the above-described formulas.

16.5 Retiree Health Savings Account
The City maintains a VantageCare retiree health savings account with MissionSquare Retirement (or other mutually agreeable retiree health savings account) for all employees in the bargaining unit hired on or after July 1, 2012. The City shall contribute fifty dollars ($50) per pay period on behalf of each qualified employee to the plan. City contributions shall immediately vest to the qualified employee. The City shall pay the accounting fee as charged by the plan. Employees may withdraw from the plan upon separation from City employment consistent with the terms of the plan.

SECTION 17 Dental Insurance
The City shall pay the premium for dental coverage for all full-time personnel and their family. In the event that during the period of the MOU, the premiums required to maintain the current level of dental benefits are increased, the City shall pay such increased premium amounts.

The City shall contract with their Dental Insurance provider for an “Enhanced” benefit package. Any employee who enrolls in the enhanced dental benefit package shall be responsible for the difference in the premium between the basic and enhanced benefit.

SECTION 18 Vision Insurance

EXHIBIT A

19 The City shall pay the premium for vision coverage through Vision Services Plan (VSP) that provides vision care services through participating providers. This applies to all full-time personnel and their family. In the event that during the period of the MOU, the premiums required to maintain the current level of vision benefits are increased, the City shall pay such increased premium amounts.

SECTION 19 Flexible Benefit Plan
Employees in this Association may voluntarily participate in the Flexible Benefit Plan. The plan allows employees to receive nontaxable benefits in exchange for a reduction in taxable compensation.

SECTION 20 Life Insurance
The City shall pay the premium for term life insurance and accidental death & dismemberment coverage for all members of this bargaining unit. The coverage provides for one and one-half times the employee’s annual salary to a maximum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).

SECTION 21 Disability Insurance
The City shall contribute one hundred percent (100%) of premiums for Disability Insurance with a twenty-nine (29) day waiting period. Employees may use accrued vacation, sick leave or compensatory time off pay during the twenty-nine (29) day waiting period until the Disability benefit begins. Once the employee becomes eligible for the Disability benefit, other time off benefits may be utilized as allowed by the insurance plan.

City will agree to reduce the waiting period for Disability Insurance from twentynine (29) days to fourteen (14) days as soon as administratively possible after Council adoption of this 2024-2027 MOU.
