I am totally opposed to the development of 13,000 homes on the former Concord Naval Weapons Station. This would create a huge burden on our infrastructure. Concord residents are letting yards go brown to save water. Traffic conjestion would create gridlock

Investment Portfolio Benefits all Funds
The City’s cash and investment portfolio represents money from all City funds, including the General Fund, Enterprise funds, Capital Projects funds, and other funds, which are restricted to specific purposes.
In general, monies held by the City are allocated by the City Council for spending or are purposefully retained in reserves. For ex ample, the money in the Capital Projects fund has been identified to provide particular capital projects for the community and there is a plan for spending down the cash balance as the projects progress. In the General Fund, approximately $55.7 million is purposely held in reserve to meet the City’s reserve policy of a mini mum of 17% and a goal of 30% of operating expenditures. At the time the Treasurer’s Report was prepared, the preliminary reserve balance at September 30, 2022 for the General Fund represented approximately 47% of operating expenditures. Due to the schedule of when the City receives revenues th roughout the year, cash reserves typically dip in the months of July through December until the first installment of Property Taxes are received in December. Typically, 8% of our General Fund revenues are received as of September 30. Compliance with Reserve Policy is measured at the end of the City’s fiscal year, Ju ne 30.
Below is a chart showing the composition of the cash and investment portfolio included in the September 30, 2022 Treasurer’s Report. It is important to understand that the only money not already allocated (but not yet spent) or restricted for a specific purpose is the General F und Emergency Reserve, which is shown in the pie chart on the chart below in gray.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d

Recommended Action
Approve a Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group (“RRM”) to update the pre-approved Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) plans in conformance with the 2022 California Building Standards Code in an amount not to exceed $22,500 for a one-year term, in a form acceptable by the City Attorney; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
Background
Senate Bill 2 (SB 2)
In September 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 2 (SB2) into law as part of a 15 bill housing package to address housing shortages and high housing costs in California.
SB 2 established a permanent and ongoing funding source through a real estate transaction fee that became effective on January 1, 2018. The funds are dedicated to promoting, increasing, and facilitating affordable housing.
Senate Bill 2, Planning Grant Program (“PGP”)
Fifty percent of real estate transaction fees collected during 2018 have been directed to the Planning Grant Program (PGP). The PGP is a one-time component of SB 2 that provides financial and technical assistance to local governments to update planning documents to address the following objectives:
Accelerate housing production;
Streamline the approval of housing development;
Facilitate housing affordability for all income groups; Promote development; and
Ensure geographic equity in the distribution and expenditure of allocated funds.
On February 13, 2020, the City entered into a standard agreement with HCD for $310,000 in State SB 2 PGP funds.
On March 9, 2021, the Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with RRM in an amount not to exceed $139,500 for a one-year term expiring March 9, 2022 (the contract has since been extended until December 31, 2022). RRM’s scope of work included developing a series of pre-approved ADUs to be made available to the public at no cost, which is anticipated to be complete as of the publishing of this report.
Every three years the state of California adopts a new edition of the California Building Standards Code and in July 2022, the triennial update of the California Building Standards Code was released and goes into effect on January 1, 2023.The code updates are required to be adopted by the City of Concord, which the implementing ordinance was introduced at the November 8 City Council meeting. To stay relevant,
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d
December 6, 2022
given the new codes, the pre-approved ADU drawings will need to be updated to reflect the 2022 Building Standards Code.
Since the City is already in contract with RRM for $139,500 for the development of the pre-approved ADU plans, this additional scope of work and budget is required to be reviewed and approved by the City Council.
Analysis
RRM has outlined a scope of work to coordinate and update the City’s ADU pre- approved plans and supporting documentation to ensure compliance of the with the 2022 California Building Standards, including fire codes. This will include updating the architectural and engineering plans, structural calculations, green building forms and energy compliance documentation.
The scope of work includes:
Updated building plans and building permit submission materials; Updated structural documentation; and
Updated energy compliance documentation.
Timeline and Budget
Following contract execution, RRM anticipates the following schedule along with the associated costs:
Kick-off meeting;
RRM to update one plan;
City reviews the first set plan updates (requires 10 calendar days); RRM to update the remaining five plans based on City comments; City review of 6 plans (requires 10 calendar days); and Respond to any remaining comments and update documents accordingly.
Total budget for six plan updates: $22,500.
Procurement Process
On October 8, 2020, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was released to solicit for architectural plan sets for the City’s new Pre-Approved Accessory Dwelling Unit Program. The RFP solicitation window closed on October 29, 2020 and during that time received three proposals from RRM Design Group, OpenScope, and Oynx Creative.
Following review of the three proposals, City staff conducted interviews with all three firms on December 15 and 16, 2020. Ultimately, staff selected RRM Design Group as the most qualified firm to complete the scope of work.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d
December 6, 2022
Due to RRM being currently under contract to design the pre-approved ADU plans, they are providing a specialized service under their architect’s license. To avoid copyright issues with the pre-approved plans or necessitating a project redesign, additional proposals were not required for this scope of work to update the plans in conformance with the 2022 Building Standards Code.
Financial Impact
No fiscal impact. This project is funded through State funds through the SB2 Planning Grant Program.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively, “CEQA”), entering into a Professional Services Agreement with RRM does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), or 15378 because there is no potential that it will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if entering into the Professional Services Agreement did constitute a project under CEQA, it would fall within the “common sense exemption”, Section 15061(b)(3), where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment…” Therefore, entering into the Professional Services Agreement does not warrant further environmental review. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

RRM proposes to coordinate and update the City’s ADU prototype plans to ensure compliance of the pre-approved plans and support documents with the 2022 California Building Standards including Fire.

The remaining five plans will be submitted after the first set is reviewed to ensure that the City’s comments are incorporated.
Deliverables:
• PDF format

compliant curb ramps, striping, and minimal paving work. The project has been designed and competitively bid; and is at the point of construction contract award. If award is approved by the City Council, project construction is expected to begin in February 2023 and be completed by April 2023, weather permitting.
Recommended Action
1. Award the construction contract in the amount of $253,362 to Rosas Brothers Construction of Oakland, CA for the Citywide Accessibility Improvements No. 9 (Project No. 2602); authorize Staff to utilize the available project contingency for contract change orders that become necessary up to 10% of contract amount, and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
2. Approve a related budget transfer in the amount of $23,000 from Citywide Accessibility Improvements No. 8 (Project No. 2519) to the Citywide Accessibility Improvements No. 9 (Project No. 2602) to cover the project contingency.
Background
Each year, the City Council approves an allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to fund both the design and the construction of American Disability Act (ADA) accessibility improvement projects. The ADA accessibility improvement projects include construction of sidewalk and curb ramps to improve accessibility in various locations throughout the City.
Additionally, the Council approves an allocation of local funds to supplement the appropriated CDBG funds. The local funds are used to fund the administrative project- related costs of this project, since CDBG funds may not be used for that purpose.
The Citywide Accessibility Improvements No. 9 (Project No. 2602) was approved by the City Council with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2022-2024 CIP Budget. The specific scope of work for Project No. 2602 includes the construction of up to thirty-one (31) ADA compliant curb ramps. This project is part of the effort to upgrade all non-ADA compliant curb ramps citywide, especially those in high use pedestrian areas and school zone areas. In addition, ramp locations are also included as the City’s response to specific citizen requests. The project as bid includes a Base Bid of thirty-one (31) ramp locations.
Procurement Process
The project was advertised for construction bids as required by State law and City policy. The Engineer’s Estimate for the Total Bid is $320,000. Bids were opened on October 27, 2022. Ten (10) bids were received in the amount ranging from $253,362 to $445,017. The basis of award for this project is the Base Bid. The lowest bid was received from Rosas Brothers Construction of Oakland, CA (Rosas). A summary of the three lowest bids is as follows:

Rosas was the low bidder and submitted a responsive and responsible bid. Rosas has an appropriate and valid contractor’s license and satisfactory work references. FJ&I Engineering Inc., the second lowest bidder, was deemed non-responsive as the firm was not a plan holder.
Staff completed analysis of Rosas’s bid, determining that this firm along with its subcontractors possess appropriate and valid licenses, and are not on any debarred lists. Rosas is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as required by SB 854. Should Council award this contract, thirty-one (31) ramps will be constructed.
See attached location map (Attachment 1).
Financial Impact
The current total budget for this project is $360,000 and is funded by $60,000 in Measure Q Local Funds (Fund 401) and $300,000 in CDBG funds (Fund 254). There are sufficient funds to award the construction contract, provide for construction management, inspection and testing services, and staff oversight. The budget transfer of $23,000 from Project No. 2519 in Measure V (Fund 407) will cover the project contingency of 10 percent. Project 2519 is a completed project. With the budget transfer, the new total budget would be $383,000.
Environmental Determination
The project is Categorically Excluded from preparation of an environmental review in accordance with Section 24 CFR 58.25 (a)(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060 (c), 15061 (b)(3), 15273, 15378, and Public Resources Code Section 21065, award of this contract is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, award of this contract is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction, and 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, as it involves constructing curb ramps where there is existing sidewalk, striping, and minimal paving work. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis. The Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk’s office following the Council award of the construction contract.

Subject: Considering award of On-Call Construction Contract for On- Call Citywide Sidewalk Replacement Phase 3 (Project No. 2341) to Kerex Engineering Inc. of Pleasant Hill for one year (with two one-year extensions possible) in the amount not to exceed $400,000 annually. (Funding source varies and

Report in Brief
The Capital Improvement Program project titled “On-Call Citywide Sidewalk Replacement Phase 3 (Project No. 2341)” is intended to provide City staff with access to an on-call Concrete Contractor to perform as-needed repairs to sidewalks, driveways, and curb and gutter. The project is specified as a one-year “on-call” services contract with a renewable option for up to two additional years upon mutual agreement of the Contractor and City of Concord. This on-call service would provide an opportunity for residents to utilize the City’s Contractor to repair damaged sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and driveways in front of their properties for projects that are either emergencies or have a cost under $60,000.

Bids were opened on Thursday October 20, 2022, for which three bids were received.
Kerex Engineering Inc. of Pleasant Hill, CA (Kerex) was considered the apparent low bidder after the previous low bidder was deemed non-responsive.
Recommended Action
Award an On-Call Construction Contract to Kerex Engineering Inc. of Pleasant Hill for Citywide On-Call Citywide Sidewalk Replacement Phase 3, Project No. 2341 for one year and a not to exceed amount of $400,000.
Background
The Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) package for this project was structured as an “on-call” service contract for the replacement of sidewalk, driveways, curbs, and gutters. In order to provide prospective bidders with a biddable estimate of “on-call” services for the year, staff provided “estimated quantities” of various items of work needed over the year to establish “per unit” costs for each work item. For example, the prospective bidder was asked to provide a per-unit cost for the removal and replacement of sidewalk on a square foot basis.
Determination of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder was based on the total bid for the estimated quantities. Actual work will be outlined on work orders issued to the Contractor, as needed, with a limited window for repair. An individual project will be limited to emergencies and/or situations where the total cost of the project is less than $60,000. The Contractor would then be paid as each work order is completed based on the unit prices. The last competitively bid On-Call Citywide Sidewalk Replacement contract was similar in that it was for one-year with a renewable option for up to two additional years upon mutual agreement of the Contractor and the City of Concord. The last contract was awarded in October 2019, and both one year extensions were used, so the contract concluded at the end of October 2022. Kerex was the on-call contractor for the previous contract.
Procurement Process
The project was advertised for construction bids as required by State law and City policy. Bids were opened on October 20, 2022. Three bids were received in the amount ranging from $375,980 to $725,100. The lowest responsive bid was received from Kerex Engineering Inc. of Pleasant Hill, CA (Kerex). The Engineer’s Estimate for the Total Bid was $400,000. A summary of the bids is as follows:

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.f
December 6, 2022
The basis of award for this project is the Total Bid and there are no additive bids. MCE Corporation was the low bidder but did not submit a responsive bid, as the firm is unable to perform a specific scope of work at the bid price they listed, therefore they were deemed a non-responsive bidder. Kerex of Pleasant Hill, CA was the next lowest bidder and submitted a responsive and responsible bid. Kerex has an appropriate and valid contractor’s license and satisfactory work references.
The on-call contract will be limited to a not to exceed amount of $400,000 per year to perform work as assigned by Public Works on a work order basis. The prices in the awarded contract will lock in for the length of the contract.
Financial Impact
The award of the On-Call Construction Contract does not directly appropriate or expend funds. Funding for each work order would need to be in place prior to issuance of the work order and will be provided from existing Capital or operating budget allocations or via reimbursement from individual property owners. The On-Call Construction Contract award limits the maximum annual cumulative value of work performed through all assigned work orders up to $400,000 per year.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15601(b)(2), 15061(b)(3), 15273, 15282 (j), 15378, and Public Resources Code Section 21065 and/or 21080.19, award of this contract is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, award of this contract is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, as it involves constructing minor concrete improvements. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis. The Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk’s Office after Council approval of contract award.

Revenue is estimated to be $55,492 in 2024, $57,131 in 2025, $58,887 in 2026 and $60,644 for the final year of the agreement in 2027.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.g
December 6, 2022
Background
The City has offered competitive swim activities in cooperation with the Terrapins Swim Team (TST) since 1990. The program has been conducted at Concord Community Pool and has enabled thousands of youth from Concord and surrounding cities to develop into competitive swimmers. Notably, Olympic champion Natalie Coughlin participated in the Terrapins program. The City and TST have historically entered into a series of agreements providing TST with use of Concord Community Pool, including shower/locker facilities and other support services, in exchange for usage fees. TST has provided high quality coaching to the participating swimmers and shared certain operational responsibilities associated with the pool. The City Council approved the most recent agreement between the City and TST covering years 2018-2022 on June 26, 2018. That agreement expires on December 31, 2022.
Analysis
The proposed agreement is structured similarly to the agreement approved by Council in 2018, as it successfully incorporates cost recovery and revenue generation goals.
Revised terms of the proposed agreement:
Includes increased total lane use hours from 10,256 lane hours to 11,707.25 lane hours each calendar year;
Continues to allow for year round use of the pool;
Increases the per lane, per hour fee by 3% from $4.47 (current) to $4.60 for the first year of the agreement; and
Includes a 3% escalator commencing on January 1, 2024 and thereafter on January 1st of each calendar year during the term of the proposed agreement.
TST’s proposed overall total lane use hours were increased from the prior agreement primarily due to expansion of lane use hours during non-peak times and elimination of a previously scheduled break week in the winter. This proposed schedule continues to support significant community use of the pool facility throughout the term of the agreement and helps pay operating and maintenance costs for the pool facility.
With Council approval, the Agreement would be in place for a term ending December 31, 2027.
Financial Impact
The proposed agreement requires TST to pay $53,853 in annual fees for 2023 for the use of Concord Community Pool. This represents 11,707.25 lane use hours from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The fees are based on an hourly charge per lane used, beginning at $4.60 per lane, per hour and increasing by 3% each year beginning in 2024 and is projected to generate an additional 17% in revenue annually compared to the current agreement.

Subject: RE: Question about item 4g
Thanks for bringing up the question. Because Olympic size swimming pool facilities are not common and each venue is different, an apples-to-apples comparison is challenging. We know the proposed Terrapin Swim Team rate for 2023 ($4.60 per lane/hour) at Concord Community Pool is slightly higher than what Walnut Creek is charging ($4.46 per lane/hour) at the Heather Farm pool after they implement a planned fee increase next fiscal year. Hopefully that information is helpful. The pool at Heather Farm is an older pool.

How do these proposed rates compare with other community pools? For example, does Heather Farms charge the same or more to the community swim team that utilizes their pool?

December 6, 2022
Attachment 1, Vicinity Map Depicting the Recommended Action. On June 17, 2017, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 17-14PC approving an amendment to increase the number of affordable units in exchange for a reduction in parking ratio per bedroom in accordance with the State Density Bonus Law. On July 3, 2019, this amended project approval was extended by the Planning Commission by the adoption of Resolution 19-11PC (the “Resolution”). The Resolution included a condition of approval requiring the relinquishment of excess right of way along the property’s Port Chicago Highway frontage because the Project called for construction within the excess right of way area. The excess right of way is approximately 10 feet wide. The excess right of way meets the requirements to be summarily vacated pursuant to Section 8334 of the Streets and Highways Code, contains no existing utilities, and has not been used by the City for street or highway purposes.
On September 6, 2022, the developer applied for their building permit, and permit approvals are anticipated in early December, 2022. The building envelope of the approved project provides for construction of a portion of the building envelope within excess right of way along Port Chicago Highway. The approved building envelope also extends onto an approximately 54 square foot portion of right of way along Willow Pass Road that was transferred to the City by a Grant Deed between Willow Pass Road and 2400 Willow Pass Road. To facilitate the construction of the Argent affordable housing project consistent with the approved project plans, the excess right of must be vacated and the developer must acquire an approximately 54 square foot portion of the City’s property along Willow Pass Road that abuts the excess right of way.
Later this month it is anticipated 2400 Willow Pass, LP, a California limited partnership will be acquiring fee ownership of 2400 Willow Pass Road, Concord, California (APN 126-082-008) in order to facilitate the Argent development by 2400 Willow Pass, LLC, a California limited liability company owned by Meta Development, LLC, a California limited liability company (collectively “Developer”). In order to finalize their financing, acquire the property, and initiate construction of the Project consistent with the Planning Commission Resolution 19-11PC, the Developer needs the City to take the recommended actions below. The Developer will also offer for dedication a sliver of right of way at the corner of Willow Pass Road and Port Chicago Highway to ensure the City controls appropriate right of way along Willow Pass Road.
Recommended Actions
(1) Adopt a resolution (Attachment 2) approving the Summary Vacation of excess right of way abutting the East side of 2400 Willow Pass Road (APN 126-082-008) pursuant to Section 8334 of the Streets and Highways Code; (2) adopt a resolution (Attachment 5) declaring approximately 54 square feet of City property abutting the northwest edge of that excess right of way to be exempt surplus land; and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute a quitclaim deed prepared by the City Attorney transferring that approximately 54 square feet of excess surplus land to 2400 Willow Pass, L.P., a California limited partnership, upon (a) its acquisition of 2400 Willow Pass Road (APN

126-082-008), (b) execution of an offer of dedication to the City of right of way at the corner of Willow Pass Road and Port Chicago Highway, and (c) payment to the City of the fair market price of $8,262, to facilitate the development of the Argent affordable housing project.
Background
On May 17, 1979, an offer of dedication was made to the City of Concord by Safeway Stores, Inc. for approximately 10 feet of right of way along, what is now, Port Chicago Highway. Offer of Dedication No. 1302 was executed and accepted by the City for recording purposes only. The recorded document is included as Attachment 3 of this staff report.
On August 25, 1988, the City subsequently executed the Acceptance of Offer of Dedication No. 1302, which is included as Attachment 4 of this staff report.
On August 30, 1988, a Grant Deed was recorded at Book 14549, Page 697, of the Contra Costa County Official Records transferring a strip of property to the City along Willow Pass Road, which is included as Attachment 6 of this staff report.
On December 15, 2016, the City of Concord Planning Commission adopted Resolution 16-33PC approving a Use Permit, Minor Use Permit and Design and Site Review permit for Developer to construct a 181 unit multifamily affordable housing project. The planning commission subsequently adopted Resolution 17-14PC on June 17, 2017, amending the previous approval, and Resolution 19-11PC on July 3, 2019, granting a 2- year extension.
Resolution 19-11PC included a requirement within the conditions of approval to secure the relinquishment of excess right of way. In preparing that relinquishment it was determined this was made up of that excess right of way included within Offer of Dedication No. 1302 and an approximately 54 square foot portion of property transferred to the City via Grant Deed along Willow Pass Road that abuts northwest edge of the Excess Right of Way. See Attachment 1 - Vicinity Map Depicting Recommended Actions. Attachment 7 consists of a draft Plat and Legal Description of the 54 square foot portion of property to be transferred, subject to approval by the City Surveyor.
Analysis
City of Concord Administrative Directive No. 93 provides a process for individuals to submit an application to vacate or abandon City streets, alleys, public services easements (utilities) and other non-fee interests which the City may have in real property. Staff has reviewed the request for summary vacation of the excess right of way, including approximately 54 square feet transferred to the City by a grand deed, and determined that the summary vacation of the excess right of way along Port
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.h
December 6, 2022
Chicago Highway and separate sale of 54 square feet of property via a quitclaim would be consistent with the City’s 2030 Urban Area General Plan.
Pursuant to Section 8334 of the Streets and Highways Code, the excess right of way meets the requirements to be summarily vacated, as it is excess right-of-way of a street or highway not required for street or highway purposes. Additionally there are no public utility facilities that are in use that would be affected by the vacation within the excess right of way.
Government Code Section 65402 requires that the Planning Agency make a finding of consistency with the General Plan in any instance in which a public street is vacated. By adopting Resolution 19-11PC, the Planning Commission found the development, including the vacation of excess right of way, to be consistent with the Concord 2030 General Plan, and thereby satisfied that requirement of the Government Code.
Financial Impact
The City will recover its costs from the Developer as well $8,262 as the fair market value of the sale price of the approximately 54 square feet of exempt surplus land.
Environmental Determination
The summary vacation of the excess right of way and sale of 54 square feet of excess surplus property is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, as there are no project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.i
December 6, 2022
Background
On March 4, 2020, the Governor of the State of California (“Governor”) issued a Proclamation of a State of Emergency due to COVID-19. Such proclamation remains in effect, as are the facts, circumstances, and emergency under which it was issued.
On March 17, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 allowing local legislative bodies to hold meetings via teleconference and to make meetings accessible electronically without violating the open meeting laws found in the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Sections 54950 et seq., “Brown Act”).
On March 19, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-12 ratifying the City of Concord Director of Emergency Services Proclamation of Local Emergency dated March 13, 2020.
Since the enactment of the Executive Order, local legislative bodies in California have been able to hold public meetings by “teleconference” (a term that includes video conferencing) without complying with all the following Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings.
Give notice of each teleconference location from which a member will be participating in a public meeting and each teleconference location must be specifically identified in the meeting notice and agenda, including full address and room number;
Each teleconference location must be accessible to the public; Members of the public must be able to address the body at each teleconference location;
Post agendas at all teleconference locations; and
During teleconference meetings, at least a quorum of the members of the local body must participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local body exercises jurisdiction.
In March 2020, staff transitioned meetings to TEAMS and then Zoom for all City meetings. Zoom meetings have allowed the City Council, City Council Committees, and the City’s boards, commissions, and committees to continue to conduct City business from the safety of their homes. The usage of Zoom for public meetings for the last 31 months has allowed the City to ensure the public’s continued access to meetings while also ensuring the public’s safety.
On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which, among other things, rescinded his prior Executive Order N-29-20 and set a date of October 1, 2021, for public agencies to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.i
December 6, 2022
The California state legislature adopted AB 361 as an urgency measure. AB 361 was signed by the Governor on September 16, 2021, and became effective immediately. AB 361 amends the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue meeting remotely using teleconferencing and virtual meeting technology as long as there is (1) a “state of emergency” pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(4), and (2) the local legislative body making certain findings including that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of Attendees.
Since September 28, 2021, the City Council sitting as the City Council, Local Reuse Authority and Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District has regularly adopted resolutions consistent with the findings required by AB 361 to enable teleconference meetings. The City Council sitting as the City Council, Local Reuse Authority, and Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District must adopt a Resolution at tonight’s meeting to allow public meetings by teleconference for the next 30 days, through January 5, 2023.
Analysis
The stated aim of AB 361 is “to improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options,” AB 361 allows local legislative bodies to meet remotely if there is a gubernatorial proclaimed “state of emergency” and a local legislative body finding that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of Attendees.
If the state of emergency remains active for more than 30 days, a local agency must make the following findings by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules.
The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and Either of the following circumstances exist: The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.
The City Council must make findings regarding the circumstances of the emergency and vote to continue using the law’s exemptions every 30 days. Given the Governor’s State of Emergency remains in place and the Contra Costa County Health Officer continues to recommend social distancing, the City Council can make the necessary findings to adopt a Resolution to continue using AB 361’s exemption.
Environmental Determination
This action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and/or 15378

because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
In addition, this action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), “Review for Exemptions” of the CEQA Guidelines because there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and no further environmental review is required.
No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.
