J. Analysis of Gaps in Service
A full gaps analysis cannot be completed until the conclusion of surveys currently underway. Surveys of service providers, local businesses and the greater Concord community will be combined with information collected through in-person and virtual community meetings and interviews to identify the most significant barriers to housing stability and gaps in service for persons experiencing homelessness.

However, initial information collected through meetings and interviews strongly indicates that two issues would need to be resolved to accomplish a significant reduction in homelessness in Concord.

49 City of Concord
Background Report on Homelessness
• Safe places to stay. There are not sufficient shelter beds available for the number of persons living unsheltered. In addition, some individuals encounter barriers to access for the beds that are available. Those who are living unsheltered are forced to move from one site to another without finding a resolution to their situations.
• Deeply Affordable Housing. There is very little housing available that is affordable to persons at the lowest income levels (such as those living on social security or disability only). Even the few affordable options have barriers such as credit/rental history requirements or tenant income requirements that persons exiting homelessness cannot meet. A homeless person can enter services and receive assistance, but still find there is no housing available to them.

50 City of Concord
Background Report on Homelessness
VIII. Homeless Concepts
Housing First
The Housing First model was developed in the early 2000s. Housing First places persons exiting homelessness directly into a permanent housing situation instead of into shelter and/or transitional housing. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, permanent housing serves as the platform from which homeless individuals “can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life.

This approach is guided by the belief that people need basic necessities like food and a place to live before attending to anything less critical, such as getting a job, budgeting properly, or attending to substance use issues.” HUD funding now favors CoCs that adopt a Housing First model.

Although data suggest that Housing First is effective, there is some debate that it may not be most appropriate for some individuals. The HUD AHAR notes that “Since the Housing First paradigm became the dominant model embraced by federal and state policy makers, family and veteran homelessness have declined. However, over the past five years, unsheltered homelessness among individuals has risen. At the same time there has been a decline in emergency beds for individuals.” Harm Reduction
Harm reduction is a philosophy that recognizes drug and alcohol use and addiction as a part of some individuals' lives. Housing First programs generally adhere to a harm reduction policy. Harm reduction encourages the engagement of persons with substance use issues in nonjudgmental communication and offers education regarding how to avoid risky behaviors and engage in safer practices, as well as connections to evidence-based treatment if the individual chooses. However, treatment is not required.

Housing following a harm reduction model may include special physical features that accommodate disabilities, reduce harm, promote health and community, and independence among residents.

Trauma Informed Care
Based on recent research, policymakers and healthcare providers increasingly recognize that exposure to traumatic events, especially as children, can result in long term increases in risk of chronic lung, heart, and liver disease, depression, sexually transmitted diseases, tobacco use, and substance abuse. Traumainformed care acknowledges the need to understand a person’s life experiences to deliver effective care and has the potential to improve engagement, treatment adherence, and health outcomes for the participant.

Barriers to Housing Stability
Persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness face significant barriers to obtaining a permanent housing situation. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, in 2022, Contra Costa County residents needed to earn $43.73 an hour to afford a two bedroom apartment at the HUD fair

51 City of Concord
Background Report on Homelessness
market rate of $2,274 per month. A renter household would need to work three full-time jobs at minimum wage to afford a unit at this monthly rent amount.

Most property managers, even those responsible for affordable housing, require potential tenants to have an income of at least two times the monthly rent, and many require three times the rent. Persons living on social security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or a minimum wage job often cannot meet this standard, even if the unit is considered “affordable.” Persons with a criminal record are often excluded from affordable housing.

In addition to economic barriers, homeless persons usually have poor credit or rental histories that are not acceptable to landlords of affordable housing projects. If housing is obtained, persons experiencing homelessness and those who live with housing instability may not have the skills needed to remain successfully housed. They may need assistance with budgeting, housekeeping, or the ability to comply with other requirements of a lease. They may be struggling with substance use or mental health disorders.

Many are unable to remain successfully housed without the support of case management services.

Barriers to housing stability contribute to an increased rate of recidivism as previously homeless individuals find housing but are unable to sustain resulting in a return to homelessness. Provision of appropriate supportive services can reduce the impact of barriers, but funding for services is limited and often short term.

Homeless Service Delivery Models
There are a number of models for the provision of homeless services, shelter or housing. Some programs fit within the traditional definition of a particular type, while some may be a combination or hybrid of several models. The following are the most common types:

Street Outreach
Programs designed to meet the immediate needs of people experiencing homelessness in unsheltered locations by connecting them with emergency shelter, housing or critical services, and providing them with urgent, non-facility-based care. Services generally consist of engagement, case management, emergency health and mental health services, and transportation. CORE and the Community Impact Unit (CIU) are Concord’s primary street outreach programs. There is not one model that works for everyone.

Other models of outreach include alternative programs such as the Downtown Streets Team or Recovery Cafe.

Rapid Rehousing
Rapid re-housing is an intervention informed by the Housing First approach. Rapid re-housing seeks to quickly connect families and individuals experiencing homelessness to permanent housing through a tailored package of assistance that may include the use of time-limited financial assistance and targeted supportive services. Programs help families and individuals living on the streets or in emergency shelters to obtain permanent housing in an effort to reduce the amount of time they experience homelessness, to

52 City of Concord
Background Report on Homelessness
avoid a return to homelessness, and to provide links to community resources that enable them to achieve long-term housing stability. The City funds a Rapid Rehousing program that is operated by Shelter, Inc.

Shelter (Emergency Shelter)
Emergency shelters provide overnight beds for persons experiencing homelessness. They usually provide meals, hygiene supplies, and other basic necessities. Traditionally most shelters had multiple persons sleeping in large rooms. During COVID, “non-congregate” shelters became more common, providing separate sleeping areas or individual rooms, to reduce the spread of the virus. A shelter stay is normally limited in duration. Programs vary, but a typical shelter stay may be around 30-60 days. There are no limits on how long you can stay in a shelter as long as you are following the shelter's rules. Contra Costa County operates a shelter in Concord. Contra Costa County Shelters Transitional/Bridge Housing
When leaving shelter, individuals that are not ready for permanent housing may be offered transitional housing where they receive more time and supportive services to prepare for independent living.

Transitional housing programs vary widely, but residents may be required to pay a nominal monthly rent, attend budgeting classes, find employment, or take other steps towards self-sufficiency. Transitional housing stays are normally longer in duration than shelter. Typically around 60-120 days while participants work towards securing an apartment or other permanent housing.

Affordable Housing
There are many different models of affordable housing. In general, projects are limited to residents that are under a certain income level and are charged an affordable rent. Income levels and rent amounts are usually determined by the funding sources used to subsidize the project. HUD programs consider affordable rent to be an amount that does not exceed 30% of household income. The City maintains an interactive map of affordable housing projects available at Concord Affordable Housing.

Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
PSH is a special category of affordable housing where housing is accompanied by supportive services offered on site to encourage housing stability. PSH is normally limited to assisting households with at least one member with a disability. Many PSH programs also limit new tenants to persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Contra Costa County PSH
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
Some programs provide a rental subsidy that the participant can use to rent a market rate unit. A common example is the Housing Choice Voucher program (formerly known as Section 8) administered by the Contra Costa Housing Authority, which provides long term assistance. Other programs may provide rental subsidies long term or on a temporary basis.

Board and Care (known as Residential Care Homes for the elderly, Community Care Facilities for persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities)

53 City of Concord
Background Report on Homelessness
Facilities that provide 24-hour non-medical residential care to persons in need of personal services, supervision, assistance in self-protection and support with activities of daily living. Levels of care can vary, depending on the facility’s licensing. Many board and care homes are limited to no more than 6 residents.

Board and Care in Contra Costa County
Safe Havens
Projects that provide private or semi-private temporary shelter and services to people experiencing severe mental illness.

Safe Parking
An emerging trend that allows persons to live in a car in a defined area. Safe Parking may be just a designated parking lot or may include food, showers, meals, security, or other services on site.

Legal Encampments
A location designated for persons living in tents or other temporary structures. Some provide services on site such as security, restrooms, food, or supportive services. Others just provide a place to camp without fear of being forced to move frequently.

Employment Counseling
Securing a job can be a difficult task for persons that do not have a stable work history or long term residency. Job training and employment readiness programs are common in Shelter and Transitional Housing programs. One unique program is Plates located in Sacramento. Plates is a restaurant run by residents of St. John’s Shelter for homeless women and children.

IX. Best Practices
A. Homeless Projects/Concepts
Elk Grove Clean Up Program: The City of Elk Grove has developed a unique way involve homeless individuals in clean up. This program involves the City paying homeless individuals to keep their camps clean. Every two weeks, City officials distribute trash bags to unsheltered homeless encampments in Elk Grove. When they drop off the bags, they pick up the trash collected by the unsheltered encampment residents. In exchange for this hard work, the City provides them with $20 gift cards to local grocery stores.

City Homeless Coordinator Staff Position: Some cities in Northern California have staff that focuses on coordinating services within their cities. This includes overseeing city funded programs, creating policies for addressing homelessness, and directing planning regarding outreach to homeless encampments.

Regional Planning: Information from various sources indicate homelessness in Concord is a regional issue rather than City specific. Unsheltered homeless typically gravitate between Concord, Antioch, Pittsburg, and Martinez. Addressing homeless in Concord may need to include regional planning with those adjacent cities. Some jurisdictions have worked to develop policies and joint programs to address homelessness.

The Sutter/Yuba regions governmental jurisdictions meet on a quarterly basis for homeless planning purposes
B. Additional Solutions and Recommendations
Enhancement of Communication Regarding Homeless Issues: Most jurisdictions provide detailed communication with the general public regarding homeless issues when they are trying to implement programs, shelter or housing site and even encampment. It is our recommendation that communication with the general community regarding the homeless take place year round. Communication would take place through regular community meetings, community groups, and social media. The City may even want to consider an annual “State of Homelessness” meeting. The communication would focus on successes, challenges, plan projects, and gaps in services.

Community Homeless Volunteer Program: In most jurisdictions, there is typically a disconnect between the general public and homeless individuals. Typically, the general public view homelessness via the encampments they see throughout a city. A volunteer program could help to create a different perspective on homelessness with the City of Concord. This project would need to be well organized and provide safe options for community members to interface with homeless individuals. Volunteer activities could include mentoring, meal programs, and encampment clean up. The result could be an even better

55 City of Concord
Background Report on Homelessness
understanding of the homeless issue and a sense of empowerment from the general public as they are directly involved in addressing what they are see related to homelessness.

Homeless Daily Work Program: Sutter County is conceptualizing a program that would employ and pay homeless people on a daily basis. Employment activities could include but are not limited to cleaning homeless encampments and blighted city areas.

Triage Center(Day Shelter Services Program): This concept would provide a daytime location for unsheltered homeless individuals. On a foundational level, this location would provide a variety of different survival services. It would also function as an entry point for those homeless individuals considering a pathway leading to housing and self-sufficiency. Additionally, when addressing encampments, a triage center could provide a viable option for CORE and law enforcement.

Legalized Camping and Parking: A portion of the homeless population, if they had the option, would choose to live/camp outside as a normal means of living. The City of Concord may want to consider accommodating this desire. It would provide specific locations for homeless individuals to congregate.

Additionally, it could allow law enforcement to address encampments throughout the City freely. This would address the various encampments that the general community typically associated with homelessness.

Homelessness Services Campus: This section will include information on the “One Stop” homeless services campus. It will include information regarding both the San Diego and Woodland campus concepts, along with other similar projects. Thurmond staff plans to visit the San Diego campus before the end of June 2023.

X. State, Federal and Local Funding
There are many federal and State funding sources for homeless services and affordable housing development that may be available for implementation of strategies in the final Concord plan. Most funding sources are limited to certain activities such as operating costs, outreach, direct service delivery, housing assistance or housing development. The chart below provides a brief overview of the most common funding sources, along with the types of programs allowed. The chart is followed by more detailed information on each funding source.

There are a few funding sources that are awarded to jurisdictions on an annual basis, but most are awarded through a competitive application process. In addition, some funding sources require matching local funds. The City’s local funding can be used to leverage federal or State grants to maximize impact.

LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES
Our team is currently collecting information on homeless services funding specifically allocated as part of the City of Concord and Contra Costa County budget. We have been in dialogue with Contra Costa County and are working with them to determine what portions of their county wide funding for homeless services are focused on the City of Concord. This will likely be in the form of percentage breakdowns corresponding to the homeless population in Concord.

Background Report on Homelessness
XI. Conclusion
A. Summary of Findings
Overall, a few key elements have emerged from initial meetings and interactions with various stakeholders. Namely, there is a general consensus that predominant service needs are for mental health and substance use assistance. While deeply affordable housing was requested in most every meeting, residents, service providers, and persons of lived experience indicated the need for more efficient and interconnected service response in the city. This included the suggestion of centralized services, such as a campus structure, where unhoused persons could receive a myriad of interconnected services that will serve individual needs.

B. Suggested Next Steps for the City of Concord
While there is considerably more input and outreach that can and will be utilized for this report, members of the working group may begin to evaluate preliminary trends and input from the community, including local residents, persons of lived experience, and service providers. While this report does not currently have a full list of any specific goals or actions to be taken, the following general next steps will likely be incorporated into the strategic plan draft:
▪ Identify key Community Goals based on community and City Council guidance ▪ Identify Community Goal stakeholders
▪ Form Subcommittees to refine Goals
▪ Draft Strategies to meet the Goals
▪ Identify potential partnerships and funding sources

Barriers to Housing Stability (pp. 53, 54)
▪ Cost of Housing - per H3, an income of $43 per hour is needed to afford a 2- bedroom apartment in Contra Costa County.
▪ Landlord Requirements - such as tenant’s income must be 3 times the rent amount (even “affordable” housing)
▪ Background - poor credit, rental histories, criminal background ▪ Life skills – Need assistance with budgeting, housekeeping, or other requirements of a lease
▪ Substance use or mental health struggles
21

What We are Hearing: Business Community (p. 17)
▪ High level of frustration related to unsheltered homeless individuals ▪ Concerns related to behavior of persons with mental health/substance use issues ▪ Safety and hygiene concerns for businesses, employees and customers ▪ Business community also is responsible for addressing issues. ▪ Suggests formation of a “homeowners association” type organization. 22

What We are Hearing: Lived Experience (p. 17)
▪ Willing to be part of the solution and interface with the general public ▪ Fentanyl is a major issue related to homelessness
▪ The general belief is that a small number of unhoused persons (25 percent) are responsible for most theft and vandalism
▪ General approval for legalized camping coupled with stricter enforcement ▪ Need for more efficient and interconnected service response ▪ Desire for centralized services, such as a campus structure 23

What We are Hearing: Service Providers (pp. 8, 16, 17,
68)
▪ Chasing homeless individuals from one camping site to another makes it difficult to provide continuity of services
▪ A centralized location for services helps service providers be more efficient and effective
▪ “Legalized Camping” or “Safe Parking” would be a good first step for many who are not yet ready for housing
▪ Understand the community expectation that heightened enforcement may be needed
▪ Regional partnerships can strengthen effectiveness
▪ Traditional “Affordable Housing” does not accommodate all persons exiting homelessness.
24

Emerging Consensus From Participants (p. 7-8)
▪ Emerging consensus was derived from conversations with service providers, community members, city officials, and persons of lived experience. ▪ The Concord community is concerned about neighbors living with housing instability. ▪ Homelessness is a multi-faceted issue – it will not be solved with a single program or project. ▪ Encampments are causing multiple issues – unsightly, rubbish, hygiene issues, safety concerns ▪ Many see the need for a centralized service center for unsheltered homeless population. ▪ Communication with the general public regarding homeless issues/services should be strengthened.
▪ A regional solution/partnership would facilitate effective response. ▪ Housing affordable for those with limited income (such as social security or disability) is needed - but is expensive and takes years to develop.
▪ Migration of Homeless Community occurring in broader Central County 25

Two Approaches to Homeless Management (p.7)
*Approaches based on consultant’s opinion
26 Path to Housing #1
For individuals who are ready or
desire to pursue housing and
self-sufficiency.
▪ Rapid Rehousing
▪ Housing navigation
▪ Housing subsidies
▪ Affordable housing
Path to Housing #2
For individuals who are not ready to or do not have the ability to maintain affordable housing.
▪ Mobile meal programs
▪ Low barrier shelter beds
▪ Legalized camping
▪ Parking areas
▪ Day shelter sites
▪ Street nursing and other survival services
Individuals would be continually encouraged to move path #1.

Best Practices – Some Examples (p. 58)
▪ City of Elk Grove – pays unsheltered homeless to clean up their camp sites ▪ Homeless Coordinator Position – responsible for overseeing city funded programs, advising on policy for addressing homelessness and directing outreach to unsheltered homeless
▪ Regional Homeless Planning – assists with coordination of policies and joint programs to address homelessness
27

Approaches and Strategies
*Strategy development will occur after adopted vision/goals ▪ Enhancement of Communication Regarding Homeless Issues ▪ Community Homeless Volunteer Program
▪ Homeless Daily Work Program
▪ Triage Center(Day Shelter Services Program)
▪ Legalized Camping and Parking
▪ Homelessness Services Campus
28

Requested Council Input
29 ▪ Are there questions on demographic data and who’s experiencing homelessness in the City?
▪ Are there questions about the data on services available in the City? ▪ Would Council like to provide direction or ideas to the HSP Working Group and Project Team?
▪ Are there reactions to the emerging trends and input from focus groups?

Background
A name and title sponsorship is a type of sponsorship in which a company pays to have its name or brand associated with an event, team, or property. The company's name or brand is prominently displayed in marketing and promotional materials including highly visible signage. Examples of other high profile performance venues located in the San Francisco Bay Area with naming sponsorships include Chase Center, Levi Stadium and SAP Center. The benefits of these arrangements for sponsors include increased brand awareness, positive publicity and lead or sales generation. Placement of a new logo, tagline and identifying signage are normal components of naming sponsorships.

The Concord Pavilion has participated in naming programs on two other occasions, from approximately 2000 – 2006 as the Chronicle Pavilion and 2006 – 2013 as the Sleep Train Pavilion.

When entering into the latest Management Agreement with Live Nation in 2013, the City Council foresaw the value and brand equity associated with the Concord Pavilion and incorporated a way to allow Live Nation to propose a future naming partnership with the identity of the sponsor subject to City approval. The agreement clearly states that the approval rights may not be unreasonably withheld and shall only be permitted within the term of the current agreement with Live Nation through December 31, 2028. The following excerpt is from Section 6.04 of the Management Agreement:

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.b
June 27, 2023
Analysis
Live Nation’s proposed multi-year naming rights program include the following key components:
 The proposed name is “Toyota Pavilion at Concord”. This name retains pride of place by keeping Concord in the name while leveraging the awareness of a popular performance venue. Sample logo and branding information are shown in Exhibit B to Attachment 1.
 The timeframe of the proposed naming rights program is almost 4½ years from July 1, 2023 – October 31, 2027. The sponsor has an option to opt-out of the naming program after the third year, at the end of the 2025 concert season. An opportunity for the City Manager to negotiate and sign an extension of the approved naming program no further than the completion of the current Management Agreement with Live Nation on December 31, 2028, is also included in the attached Third Amendment.
 The anticipated sponsorship fee arrangement is defined in the City’s existing Management Agreement with Live Nation for the Pavilion facility. In that agreement, the Council required that the City of Concord receive 25% of the total revenue from the naming rights, minus certain costs of transitioning to the new signage. The costs deducted from the revenue prior to the City receiving its 25% are the costs to replace Concord Pavilion venue signage and road signs located throughout the community with the new name and logo. This cost is estimated at $250,000. These expenses will be paid from the naming rights revenue collected during the first year.
 Anticipated revenue is identified under the “Financial Impact” section below, and in the proposal at Exhibit A to Attachment 1. The amounts collected will be placed in the Concord Pavilion fund. Council will decide upon allocation of these funds at a future date, after they are collected, as is Council’s practice (i.e., not expending new revenues until they are received and amounts are certain).  Live Nation will oversee the replacement of signage in cooperation with the City of Concord Public Works Department. Roadway signage changes will be coordinated to have minimal traffic impacts.
 The City has the ability to inspect the sponsorship agreement between Live Nation and the Northern California Toyota Dealers Association but the agreement is not a part of the public record. Prior to any new signage being installed, City staff will confirm its consistency with the exemplars shown in Exhibit B to Attachment 1 of this staff report.

Staff have observed that the Northern California Toyota Dealers Association has also maintained marketing and sponsorship relationships with other highly visible events and recreation-oriented enterprises. One recent example appeared in television commercials featuring Toyota as the official vehicle of Palisades Tahoe ski resort. Live

Nation also owns and operates the Toyota Amphitheatre located in Yuba County, 35 miles north of Sacramento.

Through this new Naming Rights Partnership with Toyota, the City of Concord can expect a heightened amount of media exposure surrounding the name change, including press, a ribbon cutting ceremony, additional Live Nation coverage across all outlets announcing this new partnership, all with the goal of driving fans to visit the venue and the City of Concord. Additionally, the local Toyota Dealerships will run periodic promotions in local radio, digital, and social media over the length of the term that continue to spread the Concord name and drive impressions of the city, venue, and sponsorship. Aside from the increased media exposure, Live Nation believes Toyota’s vision aligns well with the City of Concord’s commitment to the environment, sustainability and enriching lives.

Financial Impact
Sponsorship fees shared with the City of Concord are based on the existing Councilapproved agreement between the City and Live Nation for the management of the Pavilion. The City off Concord will receive 25% of the anticipated revenue from Live Nation by the end of each calendar year during the agreement term. Below is a table showing the anticipated revenue to Live Nation for the Naming Rights and Concord’s share.
2023 $300,000 City of Concord revenue share: $12,500 (*see note below) 2024 $575,000 City of Concord revenue share: $143,750
2025 $592,250 City of Concord revenue share: $148,062.50 2026 $610,017.50 City of Concord revenue share: $152,504 2027 $628,317.50 City of Concord revenue share: $157,079 Totals $2,705,585 City of Concord revenue share: $613,895.50 *As allowed for in the existing Management Agreement between Live Nation and the City for the operations of the Pavilion, the City of Concord’s revenue share of future naming rights revenues allows for the deduction of the costs for updating signage estimated at $250,000, which reduces both City and Live Nation commensurately.

Staff anticipates receiving its annual share of the Naming Rights revenue in July of each year, except for year 1, (2023). In year 1, staff anticipates receiving its share of the revenue in October.

Council is anticipated to discuss how to invest these new monies at the mid-year review for Fiscal Year 2023-24 (which is anticipated to occur in February 2024). These new funds could be used in any manner legal for the City to invest funds, as they will be general fund revenues.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), and/or 15378, Public Resources Code Section 21065, City Council action on this item 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, City Council action on this item is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction, and/or 15323 – Normal Operations of Facilities for Public Gatherings, as it involves installing/replacing signage in connection with operation of the Pavilion.

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. Individual projects will undergo CEQA analysis as necessary.

Attachment 1

2 AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, City and Manager agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Recitals; Capitalized Terms. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Management Agreement.

2. Naming Rights
a. Naming Right Approval. Pursuant to the 2013 Management Agreement at Section 6.04, City hereby approves: (i) the commercial name of the Pavilion as the “Toyota Pavilion at Concord” as set forth in Exhibit A; and (ii) the logo as set forth in Exhibit B. b. Naming Rights Revenue.
i. City’s Share. City’s share of the naming rights revenue is set forth in the 2013 Management Agreement at Section 6.04. Exhibit A sets forth the annual naming rights revenue (“Sponsorship Fee”) to be paid to City by Manger, subject to adjustment for the actual 2023 signage costs (currently estimated at $250,000). The City Council hereby delegates to the City Manager the right to negotiate and accept associated adjustment(s) to the Sponsorship Fee to address changes in the 2023 signage costs, with such adjustment(s) to be memorialized by a memorandum to file. The City Council further delegates to the City Manger the authority addressed in Third Amendment Section 2.c, below, with respect to any Extension. ii. Timing. The 2013 Management Agreement at Section 6.01 indicates that Sponsorship Fee payments would occur concurrent with (i.e., as a component of) the Pavilion Fees. Manager and City hereby amend the 2013 Management Agreement at Section

6.01 with respect to the timing of the Sponsorship Fee payments, so that Manager shall pay to City annual Sponsorship Fee payments as set forth in Exhibit A in full on July 1st of each Fiscal Year. To the extent that the Naming Rights Term (as defined below) is extended as addressed in Third Amendment Section 2.c, below, any corresponding payments shall be included in the defined term “Sponsorship Fee” and shall be paid by Manager to City as provided in this Section 2.b.ii.
c. Naming Rights Term. The foregoing approvals and acknowledgement shall be effective for the duration of the Facility Title Sponsor Agreement, i.e., commencing on July 1, 2023 and terminating on October 31, 2027, subject to Sponsor’s right to opt out of the Facility Title Sponsor Agreement as of October 31, 2025 (collectively, the “Naming Rights Term”). In the event the Facility Title Sponsor Agreement is extended beyond October 31, 2027, the City Council hereby delegates to the City Manager the right to negotiate and sign a concurrent extension of this Third Amendment (“Extension”) together with the authority to negotiate the amount, terms, and conditions of any Sponsorship Fee to be paid during the Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall City’s approvals and acknowledgement, or the Extension, extend beyond the Term and/or Extended Term (if

3 applicable) of the Management Agreement. At present, the Management Agreement expires on December 31, 2028.
d. Confidentiality of Facility Sponsor Title Agreement. i. Notwithstanding anything in the Management Agreement or this Third Amendment (including Exhibit B) to the contrary, Manager has identified the Facility Sponsor Title Agreement referenced in Exhibit A as “Confidential Information.” Subject to the terms of this Section 2.d, City shall endeavor to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information to any third parties, except as may be required by the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6253 et seq.) or other applicable local, state, or federal law (collectively, “Public Disclosure Laws”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, City may disclose Confidential Information to its officials, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors (“City Representatives”), but only to the extent necessary to carry out the purpose for which the Confidential Information was disclosed; in cases of such disclosure to such parties, City shall require such parties to comply with the confidentiality provisions of this Third Amendment.

Manager acknowledges that City has not made any representations or warranties that any Confidential Information City receives from Manager will be exempt from disclosure under any Public Disclosure Laws.
ii. In the event the City’s legal counsel reasonably determines that the release of any of the Confidential Information is required by Public Disclosure Laws, or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, City shall notify Manager, prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information, of City’s intention to release any of the Confidential Information.

Manager shall have five (5) business days after the date of City's notice (“Objection Period”) to deliver to City a written objection notice that includes: (1) justification for non-disclosure of all or any portion of the requested Confidential Information; and (2) legally binding confirmation of Manager’s indemnity and release obligations as set forth in this Section 2.d (“Objection Notice”). City may release the applicable portion of the Confidential Information if: (a) City does not timely receive an Objection Notice; (b) a final and non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction requires City to release Confidential Information; or (c) the City’s City Attorney, in his or her reasonable discretion, upon review of the Objection Notice, notifies Manager in writing that they have determined that it does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 2.d or that the requested Confidential Information is not exempt from disclosure under the Public Disclosure Laws and Manager then fails to file and obtain a temporary restraining order or other similar injunctive relief preventing such disclosure within ten (10) days after receipt of the City Attorney’s determination. If the City Attorney, in his or her reasonable discretion, determines that only a portion of the requested Confidential Information is exempt from disclosure under the Public Disclosure Laws, City may redact, delete, or otherwise segregate the Confidential Information that will not be released from the non-exempt portion to be released, and may key by footnote or other reference to the appropriate justification for not disclosing the unreleased Confidential Information. To the extent Manager believes the Confidential Information is not subject to Public Disclosure laws, Manager may, at no cost to the City, file any necessary legal actions to enjoin or prevent the disclosure of the Confidential Information.

4 iii. Manager shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless City and its officers, officials, employees, volunteers, agents, attorneys, and representatives (collectively, "Indemnitees") from and against any and all Claims arising out of or in any way connected with City’s disclosure or non-disclosure of any Confidential Information based on an Objection Notice. “Claim” or “Claims” means any and all present and future liabilities, claims, demands, obligations, grievances, judgments, orders, injunctions, causes of action, assessments, losses, costs, damages, fines, penalties, expenses, suits or actions of every name, kind, description and nature (including attorneys’ fees and costs), known or unknown, and whether now existing or hereafter arising, including all costs, attorney’s fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any legal challenge brought by a third-party seeking or objecting to the disclosure of that Confidential Information. Manager’s obligations under this Section 2.d shall survive the expiration or termination of the Management Agreement. Manager hereby waives, releases and discharges forever the Indemnitees from any and all present and future Claims arising out of or in any way connected with any Confidential Information. Manager aware of and familiar with the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE

CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO

EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE

RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE

MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

As such relates to this Section 2.d, Manager hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code. ____________________
Manager Initials
iv.

6. Miscellaneous. This Third Amendment (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (subject to the restrictions on assignment set forth in the Agreement), and (b) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions. In the event that suit shall be brought by either party hereunder, the parties agree that trial of such action shall be held exclusively in a state court in the County of Contra Costa, California. This Third Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts (which counterparts may be executed and delivered electronically by PDF, DocuSign, or another file sent by email) which shall together constitute a single document.

Repaint the main concession building gray to simplify the overall look and allow for clear wayfinding. The peripheral buildings can be painted gray to create a blank canvas that murals could be added to.

One example could be to use the brand colors in a mountain scape mimicking the front entrance sign.

1. Why a Name in Title Sponsorship
• Our goal when we took over operations was to reestablish the original building name, “The Concord Pavilion” and its important place in the community. • As we head into the next phase of our relationship, we want to bring new revenue streams for the city.
• This NIT is estimated to create $614,000 of new revenue to the City of Concord

2. Why Toyota
• Worldwide company that’s been operating in Concord for over 40 years • Employ over 200 people in the City of Concord
• Between sales and service, they are generating approx. $200 million in revenue annually with $20m in sales tax revenue.
• They have committed to 5 seasons starting this year! (July 1, 2023- End of 2027 Season) Importance to Live Nation and Toyota to keep the critical components of:

PAVILION & CONCORD IN THE NAME!

Logo

M A I N E N T R A N C E O P TIO N 1
This is a retro fit of the existing
entrance sign.

Remove 'Concord Pavilion' and
replace with the new horizontal
'Toyota Pavilion at Concord' logo.

The logo would be white channel
letters to match the look of the
current sign.

The fabric banners underneath
are updated to match the Warm
Amphitheatre Theme.

Through the proposed new Naming Rights Partnership with Toyota, the City of Concord can expect a heightened amount of media exposure surrounding the name change, including press, a ribbon cutting ceremony, additional Live Nation coverage across all outlets announcing this new partnership, all with the goal of driving fans to visit the venue and the City of Concord.

Additionally, the local Toyota Dealerships will run periodic promotions in local radio, digital, and social media over the length of the term that continue to spread the Concord name and drive impressions of the city, venue, and sponsorship. Aside from the increased media exposure, Toyota’s vision aligns nicely with the City of Concord’s commitment to the environment, sustainability and contributing to the community, and enriching lives.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.c
June 27, 2023
Report in Brief
Because unrepresented employees are not covered under a memorandum of understanding, Council sets their terms and conditions of employment. Traditionally, unrepresented employees’ base wage increases track closely to the changes of represented employees. On June 27, 2023, Council is expected to approve a three-year successor memoranda of understanding with two labor groups to grant total base wage increases/market adjustments of 16% for all bargaining unit classifications over a three year term (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026). Staff recommends Council grant total base wage increases of 14% for all unpresented employees over the same three year term (i.e., July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026) and increase the bilingual pay for eligible employees from $120 per month to $150 per month, at a cost of $4.5 million over three years. Additionally, the City Attorney’s contract provides that she is to receive the same benefits and base wage adjustments provided to executive management employees and there is a draft contract amendment before Council for the City Manager providing the same base wage adjustments as provided to the executive management employees. Finally, to comply with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System regulations, Council must approve the publicly available pay schedule.

Recommended Action

1. Adopt a Resolution approving the following base wage increases for unrepresented employees and the City Attorney: 5% effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2023, 5% effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2024, and 4% effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2025, and increase the bilingual pay for eligible employees from $120 per month to $150 per month effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2023;

2. Approve an amendment to the employment agreement between the City of Concord and City Manager Valerie Barone approving a base wage increase of 5% effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2023, 5% effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2024, and 4% effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2025; and

3. Adopt a Resolution approving the City of Concord’s salary schedule, effective July 1, 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System for a publicly available pay schedule.

Background
Unrepresented employees are divided into one of the following categories: (1) confidential employees, (2) management/executive management employees, and (3) exempt service/appointive employees. The City Attorney and City Manager are appointive employees. The City Attorney’s contract provides that she is to receive the same benefits and base wage adjustments provided to executive management employees. The City Manager requires a contract amendment for any benefit and base wage adjustments she receives. Executive management employees, City Attorney, and City Manager are considered “local agency executives” pursuant to Government Code

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.c
June 27, 2023
Section 3511.1.1 Government Code 54953 requires that prior to taking final action, the legislative body must orally report a summary of the recommendation for final action on salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits of a local agency executive during the open meeting in which the final action is to be taken. Local agency executives are defined in Government Code § 3511.1(d) as “(d) Local agency executive means any person employed by a local agency who is not subject to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Action (Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 3500)).” Confidential employees, management/executive management employees, exempt service/appointive employees, City Manager, and City Attorney are collectively referred to herein as “unrepresented employees.” As unrepresented employees are not covered under a memorandum of understanding, Council establishes their terms and conditions of employment.

Historically, unrepresented employees have received base wage increases roughly paralleling base wage increases granted to represented employees. On June 27, 2023, Council is expected to approve a three-year successor memoranda of understanding with two labor groups to grant total wage increases/market adjustments of 16% for all bargaining unit classifications over a three year term (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026).

Additionally, the California Code of Regulations (CCR) requires Council adopt the City’s salary schedule at a public meeting (2 CCR § 570.5). This obligation arises whenever salary ranges/steps are changed to ensure that salary rates are transparent and publicly available. These publicly adopted rates are used by the California Public Retirement System to determine the appropriate compensation earnable for each City employee when calculating their pension benefit. The salary schedule includes salaries for “local agency executives” as that term is defined in Government Code § 3511.1(d).

Analysis
The following table summarizes/compares the base wage increased/market adjustments of the two labor groups and the proposed base wage increases for unrepresented employees:2
1 The local agency executives are: Assistant City Manager, Chief of Police, City Attorney, City Manager, Director of Building and Neighborhood Services (currently vacant), Director of Community Reuse Planning (aka Director of Economic Development and Base Reuse), Director of Community/Economic Development Services (aka Director of Community Development), Director of Finance, Director of Human Resources, Director of Information Technology, Director of Parks and Recreation, and Director of Public Works.
2 Both labor groups negotiated an increase to the bilingual pay for eligible employees from $120 per month to $150 per month.

Funds are available in the adopted budget for Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25. Costs for Fiscal Year 2025-26 will be incorporated into the next biennial budget.

Environmental Determination
City Council action herein is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review because none of the activities has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, the activities consist of continuing administrative or maintenance activities, creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, and/or organizational or administrative activities of government, which do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 105060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), 15273, and/or 15378 (including subsections (b)(2), (4) and/or (5)), and the activities do not constitute discretionary approval of a specific project. If any activity were determined to be a “project” for CEQA analysis, such activity is either subject to a categorical exception set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(2) or falls within the “Common Sense” CEQA exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City of Concord’s independent judgment and analysis.
