Interests and Experience
Question applies to multiple boards
Please state your reason for applying, including qualifications for this position:

I have more than 11 years of experience in local government policy and hold a degree in Environmental Studies from Saint Mary’s College of California. Local government policy is my primary focus and passion and I have attended hundreds of local government meetings since becoming a Contra Costa County resident in 2011. I strongly believe the most meaningful and impactful work happens at the local level. As a participant in the spring 2023 session of the Concord Community Academy, I had the opportunity to be involved in a mock Planning Commission exercise where I played the role of a Planning Commissioner evaluating a developer's proposal to build a theme park at Sun Valley Mall. While this was a mock exercise and proposal, the experience provided me with a sense of the decisions and considerations a Planning Commissioner must make to ensure sustainable growth and development in Concord. It highlighted my skills as a critical thinker, effective communicator, and project manager. These are essential skills for a commissioner to have while serving on Concord's many commissions, committees and advisory boards. As someone with a journalism background, I know how to take complex information and distill it into an easily understandable manner. In my current role at Alameda County's Office of Sustainability, I routinely lead projects among stakeholders with varying interests. This has made me adept at listening to different perspectives, facilitating constructive discussions, and finding common ground amongst a diverse set of stakeholders. I work well under pressure, can handle complex information, and can understand maps and technical presentations as part of any application process. Through my role at Alameda County, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills, which are crucial for effective decision-making as a commissioner serving the City of Concord. I understand the General Plan and a commissioner's role as advisors to the City Council. Through my relevant experience and skills, I can add value to the processes of the City Council and Staff.

Question applies to multiple boards
Considering your experience and activities in business, labor, professional, social, or other organizations, indicate the experience, technical training, and/or skills which qualify you for an appointment:

As noted above, I have more than 11 years of experience in local government policy. A key experience were the six years I spent as part of the Contra Costa County Climate Leaders, an environmental non-profit that assisted cities in the county on best practices for climate action planning and greenhouse gas emission reductions. In my roles as a Senior Consultant and later Director, I regularly attended and spoke at Mayors Conferences and city council meetings throughout the county so I am familiar with the structure of local government, roles and responsibilities, and public meetings. Throughout my time with the Climate Leaders, I organized 11 workshops for city staff and elected officials on a number of climate action planning topics. As a Sustainability Project Manager at Alameda County, I helped oversee the development of the Alameda County Climate Action Plan for Government Services and Operations over three years. I led the creation of the Sustainable Materials Management section (one of 6 action areas) and coordinated with 30 different County stakeholders on 25 initiatives in the Plan which involved diligent research, persistent stakeholder engagement, and thoughtful facilitation. While sustainability is often seen to be in stark opposition to development, I do not feel this way. As a Bay Area resident for the past 12 years, I am familiar with the housing crisis the region and our own city are experiencing. I understand the importance of allowing growth to meet upcoming housing needs and the intersections between sustainable development, job creation, and quality of life. The Naval Weapons Station is an example of how these different principles can be joined together with its plans to locate housing and retail near transit, to provide recreation opportunities, and to bring jobs to this area of the far East Bay. In addition to my education, on the ground training, my non-profit experience, and participation in the Concord Community Academy, I am also a graduate of Leadership Contra Costa and graduated from the inaugural class of the Central San Academy. These experiences fostered a commitment to help solve the unique challenges of our local community and a passion to apply my skills by getting involved with local government. If given the opportunity to serve on a Concord commission, committee, or board, I will diligently review project proposals, consider their impacts on our community, and make informed decisions that align with the long-term vision of Concord. I am dedicated to promoting housing and meeting upcoming housing needs through responsible growth, preserving our city's unique character, and ensuring a high quality of life for current and future residents. Thank you for considering my application.

Question applies to Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee Why do you believe the Council should appoint you to the Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee?
I am an avid lover of live music and have attended over 60 concerts at many venues throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento, including several at the Concord Pavilion. As part of the Outreach Committee, I would bring my experience of attending both mainstream and community performances to advise on potential acts for the Pavilion. As a student at Saint Mary's College, I attended several themed events where members of different cultural clubs would host events and performances related to their culture. I still have ties to Saint Mary's College as an alumna and could foster a partnership between Saint Mary's College, Live Nation, and the City of Concord to expand local events and acts at the Concord Pavilion.

Question applies to Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Please describe your interest and experience in cycling and other alternative modes of transportation.

My cycling experience is limited given that I learned how to ride a bike later in life. However, this enables me to provide a unique and meaningful perspective on cycling infrastructure that successfully meets the needs of cyclists with varying skill levels. As a previous resident of Pleasant Hill, I walked on the Canal Trail almost daily for over a year and now walk, run, and bike along the Iron Horse Trail via the Monument Boulevard trailhead. As an environmentalist and with a educational and professional background in sustainability, I believe improving access to alternative modes of transportation will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and improve quality of life for Concord residents. I am particularly interested in improving bike and pedestrian infrastructure along the Monument Corridor. I currently represent Concord on the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's Citizens Advisory Committee where I provide input on jurisdictions' Growth Management Program Compliance Checklists, approve distribution of Measure J funds, and learn about regional transportation efforts.

As a member of the Concord Chamber, NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry), and the AIA (American Institute of Architects), I enjoy meeting new people, learning about their businesses/skills, and collaborating with everyone. A proud achievement and life–long goal, was in 2018, where I purchased & remodeled a Condo on my own, in Fountain Hills Arizona… just a hop, sk ip & a jump from the San Francisco Giants Spring Training facility. In my spare time, I’m a pickleball & bocce ball player, happily sharing my knowledge & insights to newcomers, helping them to improve and become formidable competitors.

Would you like to be contacted about future Board, Committee, or Commission recruitments?

Interests and Experience
Question applies to multiple boards
Please state your reason for applying, including qualifications for this position:

I have extensive professional experience working with planning departments in both the Bay Area and Southern California. In my work with Rotary International since 2012, I lead sustainable community development project teams in Central and South America. I believe strongly in committing my experiences and my time to address the needs of my community.

I have also spent 20 years researching the potential for urban planning and design to create affective environments that promote wellness to benefit both the built and the natural environment.

As a licensed architect (CAB Lic. No. C-30299) who has worked in both corporate practice and as a sole proprietor for 30 years as well as my 14 years of service in Rotary International, I am convinced that responsible leadership is necessarily collaborative and inclusive, that it may leverage the diverse skills and points of view of the community in order to serve the community. In my work, I prioritize clear and respectful communication as the context in which these collective abilities and perspectives can be brought to bear. Planning and design create the very physical fabric of community life; their potential to at once preserve and advance the family, economic, health, and even the spirit of the community is tremendous. Unfortunately, responsible planning and design are often miscast as being at odds with these interests; I maintain that they are absolutely necessary for sustained community wellness.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.g
April 22, 2025
Report in Brief
The proposed Maintenance Services Agreements will provide professional tree maintenance services for City-maintained trees consistent with the City’s implementation of its recently adopted Tree Maintenance Plan; and as-needed on- demand tree trimming, removals, planting, and emergency response, including arborist services as necessary. Current contracts are expiring, service demand for maintenance and planting is growing, and ensuring the City can continue to provide these services is essential to maintaining a healthy urban forest. These demands have also increased due to the State of California’s newest fire hazard severity map and the impacts the new map has on the City’s open space areas.

The contracts attached do not guarantee any work or any level of expenditure in any given year; rather the contracts establish a contractual relationship with each firm.

When work is needed, the City will assign work to the appropriate pre-qualified firm using qualified firms rate sheets.

Recommended Action
Approve three Maintenance Services Agreements to provide on-call tree maintenance with three firms, at annual not-to-exceed amounts, as follows:

1. J.T.S. Tree Experts, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $895,000 per year to complete on-call tree maintenance, tree planting, and tree-related crane services in the Parks, Opens Space, and other City-maintained property; and

2. Mountain F Enterprises, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $400,000 per year to complete on-call tree maintenance for City-maintained Street Trees and other trees that may impact sewers; and

3. SavATree LLC in the not-to-exceed amount of $225,000 per year for emergency response to City-maintained and private property trees that impact the rights-of-way.

Each agreement’s term is for up to five (5) years with the option for three, one-year extensions, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreements in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and to make CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
The City of Concord (City) is committed to maintaining and growing a healthy urban forest. This is evident by its recent recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City, USA, for its 44th consecutive year. The Public Works Department (Department) manages and performs tree maintenance activities throughout the City to maintain, preserve, remove, and plant trees in parks, medians, open spaces, on City-maintained property, on street trees that the City maintains, and on private property trees when tree emergencies impact the rights-of-way. The Department has utilized tree contractors to perform these tree maintenance activities since 2009. The current contracts for these

Page 2 of 65 ends

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.g
April 22, 2025
services expire on June 30, 2024, and need to be replaced prior to expiration.

Historically in recent years, the City contracts for approximately $1,100,000 per year on these types of tree services.

The City has improved its proactive maintenance of City-maintained trees over the last three years. These proactive maintenance activities have resulted in the improved preservation of healthy mature trees and a decrease in the number of mature trees that prematurely fail due to disease or storms. Additionally, there has been an increase in the unfunded and State-mandated fire risk mitigation requirements to maintain trees in the Open Spaces as revealed in the updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps released February 24, 2025. Last, the City Council has recently reaffirmed its goals to maintain a healthy urban forest, to continue to improve tree maintenance for public safety, and to plant more trees as a mitigating effort to combat the effects of climate change. The proposed contractors will ensure the Department can continue to implement these goals in a proactive, responsible, and cost-effective manner.

Analysis
The Department relies on contractual services for most tree work the following reasons:
risk and liability, the need for specialized equipment, and the need for specialized skills.

The City has completed a competitive bid process and has identified multiple qualified contractors to enter into Maintenance Service Agreements. Having multiple contractors provides the City the opportunity to obtain the best value. The tree maintenance activities are based on a combination of maintenance requirements for public safety, the known condition and maintenance needs, implementing the Tree Maintenance Plan, and historical annual tree emergency issues.

These maintenance service contracts, when approved, create a contractual relationship between the City and the best qualified firms to perform our tree maintenance work.

This allows the City to provide the most cost effective and appropriate tree maintenance activities that will lead to a healthier, safer, and more sustainable Urban Forest. Work will be assigned based on the Tree Maintenance Plan including preventative tree maintenance, tree removals, and tree planting activities throughout the city. It will also be assigned based on City-wide maintenance requirements, service demand, and tree planting activities based on the tasks below.

Task 1 is defined as systematic tree maintenance for the City’s 15,204 park, City- property, open space, trail, and creek trees. These 15,204 trees will be maintained on a five-to-seven-year maintenance cycle. This contract also includes crane services related to tree planting or removal and for scheduled City-wide tree planting and replacement.

Task 2 is defined as systematic tree maintenance for the City’s 7,028 City-maintained street trees and tree maintenance of trees that may impact sewers. These 7,028 trees will be maintained on a five-to-seven-year maintenance cycle.

Page 3 of 65 ends

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.g
April 22, 2025
Task 3 is defined as emergency services for approximately 55,823 City-maintained & private property owner-maintained trees that affect the rights-of-way, with an expectation of needing to respond to approximately 384 tree incidents per year. Staff expects these costs to decrease over time as the Tree Maintenance Plan is fully implemented and as the Urban Forestry Program increases outreach and education for private property owners of maintenance responsibility for private trees in the rights-of- way.

In all cases above, some trees receive service more than one time within the five-to- seven-year cycle. This is determined by location, occupancy rate of the space around the tree, and species-based demand.

All three contractors understand that these maintenance service agreements are not guarantees of work. How much work is done under these contracts depends upon a number of issues. First and most importantly is the Council approved budget for the year—both operating and capital. Additionally, it will depend upon whether work is being done systematically or in response to an emergency. It will also depend on the City’s ability to secure future grant funds for tree planting. In general, the Department anticipates that future years total contracts will range from $1,300,000 to $1,500,000 per year, based on average costs from the last three years combined with increased efforts to better maintain trees in the open space and to increase tree planting throughout the City.

Procurement Process
Staff issued a public posting for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on February 25, 2025, to identify a short-list of the most qualified contractors to provide these services. The RFQ was advertised on the City’s procurement website, public purchasing, and was sent to several well-known contractors in this field. On March 11, 2025, the City received complete qualification packets from, 10 potential contractors, which included submitting their contractor licenses, Department of Industrial Relations registration (DIR), company background, sample work, and references. Five contractors were found to be unresponsive in their submissions due to failing one or more of the criteria. Five contractors were found to meet the minimum qualifications and were invited to interview with a panel of City staff. All five interviewed contractors were scored and ranked by Public Works staff based on criteria publicized in the RFQ. On March 25, 2025, three contractors were identified as the short-list of the most qualified and sent a Request For Bids (RFB) to ascertain the most competitive rates based on the different types of scope that will be awarded based on the City’s needs. Based on the rate sheets received and ensuring the City receives the best value, staff proposes awarding the following Maintenance Service Agreements.

J.T.S. Tree Experts, Inc. in the amount of $895,000 per fiscal year for Task 1, scheduled maintenance of Park, Open Space, and other City-maintained trees.

Page 4 of 65 ends

City Council Agenda Report

April 22, 2025
Mountain F Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $400,000 per fiscal year for Task 2, scheduled Street Tree maintenance.

SavATree LLC, in the amount of $225,000 per fiscal year for Task 3, unscheduled and emergency tree maintenance.

Financial Impact
Adequate funds exist and have been budgeted within the current Operating Budget and Capital Project (Project No. 2755 which is budgeted and allocated for Tree Planting and Replacement). No additional funds are being requested. Work in future years will depend upon approved budgets. Public Works staff will manage contract administration.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(2), 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, and 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, as it involves landscaping maintenance. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

Public Contact

However, in no event shall the amount CITY pays CONTRACTOR exceed Four Million, Four Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand dollars ($4,475,000). Any increase to this compensation amount must be mutually agreed to in writing pursuant to Section 5 below, and may require City Council approval.

CONTRACTOR is aware of and familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 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 3.B, CONTRACTOR hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which it may have under California Civil Code Section 1542. The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this Section 3.B shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES. Authorized representatives shall represent CITY and CONTRACTOR in all matters pertaining to the services to be ordered by CITY or rendered by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement except where approval for the CITY is specifically required by the CITY Council. The CITY’s authorized representative is Kit Jory, Parks Manager of the Department of Public Works. The CONTRACTOR’s authorized representative is Veronica Bejines, Owner.

5. AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing duly executed by authorized representatives of both parties, and made and approved in compliance with the CITY’s Municipal Code.

A. Amendment to Scope of Services. If CITY requests services other than as described in the Scope of Services, the amendment shall set forth the changes to the Scope of Services, any change in the performance time schedule, and any change in the compensation described in Section 3, above.

Any additional compensation to CONTRACTOR that is greater than the Minimum Threshold, including the base contract amount, must be approved by City Council.

6. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Both parties understand and acknowledge that CONTRACTOR, its officers, agents, employees, consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors and subcontractors are and shall at all times remain as to the CITY wholly independent contractors.

Neither the CITY nor any of its officers, officials, agents, employees or volunteers shall have any control over the manner by which CONTRACTOR performs this Agreement and shall only dictate the results of the performance. CONTRACTOR shall not represent that CONTRACTOR or its officers, agents, employees, consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors or subcontractors are agents or employees of the CITY, and CONTRACTOR shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of the CITY in any capacity whatsoever as an agent, and shall have no authority, express or implied, to bind the CITY to any obligation whatsoever, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.

As an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR shall not be eligible for any benefits, which the CITY may provide to its employees and all persons, if any, hired by CONTRACTOR shall be employees or subcontractors of CONTRACTOR and shall not be construed as employees or agents of the CITY in any respect. CONTRACTOR shall receive no premium or enhanced pay for work normally understood as overtime, e.g., hours that exceed forty (40) hours per work week, or work performed during non-standard business hours, such as in the evenings or on weekends.

As stated above, my skills are many in public program administration. I am proud that every position I have held has resulted in positive change. I have worked for the City of Oakland's public programs in resource conservation. I have been a public school teacher for 16 years in Art & Science. I have collaborated with such organizations and businesses as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Contra Costa County of Education, KQED & PBS Education, the UC Berkeley/UC Davis Climate Change Professional Learning Community and many more. I am an Elks Lodge member and help to coordinate public service outreach programs. I am a certified PBS Digital Media Literacy instructor. I have taught art classes at Diablo Valley College. I perform with our student improv and drama classes. I am an expert public speaker, lesson planner and teacher.

Question applies to Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee Why do you believe the Council should appoint you to the Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee?
Since 1972, I have lived in the East Bay. I raised my children in Walnut Creek and recently moved to Concord. I am eager to be involved, to contribute, to help make my community a better place. I have attended many concerts at the Concord Pavilion: it is one of my favorite venues in Northern California. I believe the Concord Pavilion is an under utilized gem of arts, culture, and gathering. To be involved in helping to bring about more people of the community to enjoy this amazing space would be a personal and professional achievement of a lifetime.

Question applies to Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee Why do you believe the Council should appoint you to the Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee?
Building community through music is what I've been doing here in Concord since 2020. I conceptualized and created Concord Couch Concerts, the grassroots coalition of local musicians behind the successful virtual concert series during the pandemic, and the annual Singer Songwriter Sunday series in Todos Santos Plaza that followed the lockdown. I've been a volunteer DJ at 90.5 KVHS (Concord) since 2021, having showcased the original music of nearly 500 unique Bay Area acts across more than 150 episodes. I pen a monthly column for the Concord Clayton Pioneer focused entirely on local music. I've managed the music side of the 2023 and 2024 Art & Music Jam, which ultimately earned the City of Concord the prestigious Helen Putnam Award. In short, if this committee has any interest in furthering engagement with our community by way of local music, I'm confident that appointing me to CPCOC is the right choice.

Question applies to Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee Why do you believe the Council should appoint you to the Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee?
I believe that the Concord City Council should consider my re-appointment to the Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee based upon four factors. One, I'm a long-time resident of Concord, growing up here and attending public schools and continue to be a resident raising a family with my wife and son. Two, my experience as described above is very broad and I know I can continue to be an asset to the committee and it's mission. I believe that ideas, collaboration and partnership will only benefit Concord and the Pavilion and I hope to continue that with a re-appointment.

Staff Report
Date: April 22, 2025
To: City Council
From: Valerie J. Barone, City Manager
Reviewed by: Mark Bustillos, Chief of Police
Prepared by: Ollie Sansen, Police Sergeant
[email protected]
(925) 671-3336
Subject: Considering a resolution to accept the Concord Police Department AB 481 2024 Military Equipment Report, 2025
Military Equipment Inventory, and approve the continued use of existing department policy.

CEQA: Not a project/exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2),
15061(b)(3), and/or 15378.

Report in Brief
The Concord Police Department is required under California Government Code § 7072, and by City of Concord Ordinance 22-6, to submit an annual report to the City Council on its use, inventory, and acquisition of military equipment defined under AB 481.

Recommended Action
Review and accept the annual report and, by Resolution, approve the existing policy and the continued use of military equipment, as defined by AB 481, by the Concord Police Department based on the findings as required by law, and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the Concord Police Department to have a military equipment use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding,

4.i4.i4.i4.i

Page 1 of 46 ends

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.i
April 22, 2025
acquiring or using items that it defined as military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.

On April 12, 2022, the Concord City Council approved Ordinance 22-6 approving Concord Police Department Policy #706: Military Equipment Use Policy, as well as its attached inaugural Military Equipment Report and Inventory. On April 9, 2024, the Concord City Council passed a resolution to accept the CPD Military Equipment Report for 2023 and Inventory for 2024 and approved the continued use of that equipment.

Analysis
As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually the Concord Police Department must prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.

As set forth in the Policy, the Concord Police Department retains and employs limited equipment that falls under this legislation and subsequent law to safeguard its community. Concord Police Department officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of this equipment approved under the Policy.

The annual approval of the policy, report, and inventory continues the use of the equipment currently in the Police Department’s inventory by authorized and trained personnel when the use is necessary to maintain public safety.

Financial Impact
Approval of this resolution will allow the Concord Police Department to purchase ten DJI Avata 2 (interior search drones), seven DJI Mini Pro’s and three DJI Maverick 3s with Thermal. The total fiscal impact, should this resolution be approved, would be $37,800 before any applicable taxes. All necessary funds are available in the existing Police Department budget.

Environmental Determination
This item is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), and/or 15378 including subsections (b)(2) and (4). If this were determined to be a “project” for CEQA analysis, this activity 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

Concord Police Department Military Equipment Report for 2025 2 Introduction
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the Concord Police Department to have a military equipment use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring or using items that it defined as military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.

On April 12, 2022, the Concord City Council approved Ordinance 22-6 approving Concord Police Department Policy #706: Military Equipment Use Policy. On April 9, 2024, the Concord City Council passed a resolution to accept the CPD Military Equipment Report for 2023 and Inventory for 2024 and approved the continued use of that equipment.

As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, the Concord Police Department must prepare a report annually on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.

As set forth in the policy, the Concord Police Department retains and employs limited equipment that falls under this legislation and subsequent law to safeguard its community. Concord Police Department officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of this equipment approved under the Policy.

This annual report outlines the Concord Police Department’s military equipment inventory and usage and community complaints over use of military equipment from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. It also outlines the proposed purchase of new and/or replacement equipment during 2025. The Department will submit its Military Equipment Annual Report to City Council after December 31st of every year in compliance with AB 481.
