City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
January 13, 2026
Report in Brief
On October 9, 2025, Contra Costa County Public Works Department issued a call for projects to local agencies in the county for the FY 2026-2027 Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA) grant cycle. TDA funds are available for bicycle and pedestrian projects that eliminate or improve an identified problem area on routes that would otherwise provide relatively safe and direct travel by bicycles or pedestrians.

Each agency in Contra Costa County may submit one project for consideration.

At its meeting on December 10, 2025, the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) recommended submitting a TDA grant application in the amount of $208,000 to design and construct the Rocketship/Glenbrook Sidewalk Gap Closure (Project), located on Olivera Road between Hillsborough Drive and Thunderbird Drive.

Recommended Action

1. Adopt a Resolution approving a request to Metropolitan Transportation Commission for an allocation of $208,000 of Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Project Funding for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 to support the Rocketship/Glenbrook Sidewalk Gap Closure, located on Olivera Road between Hillsborough Drive and Thunderbird Drive (Attachment 2);

2. Authorize the City Manager to accept and appropriate grant funding from MTC up to $208,000 and execute all necessary documents in a form acceptable to City Attorney; and

3. Make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the agency that administers the TDA grant program and each year releases a call for bicycle and pedestrian projects to be funded with TDA grant funds. Eligible projects are described as projects that eliminate or improve an identified problem area (specific safety hazards such as high- traffic narrow roadways or barriers to travel) on routes that would otherwise provide relatively safe and direct bicycle or pedestrian travel use, and projects ready for design and construction. Each agency in Contra Costa County may submit one project for consideration.

On October 9, 2025, a call for projects was issued by Contra Costa County Public Works Department to local agencies for the 2026-2027 TDA cycle in advance of solicitation by MTC. MTC has not yet released the estimated allocation for Contra Costa County for the FY 2026-2027 grant cycle; however, last year’s total allocation for Contra Costa County was approximately $1,100,000.

MTC Resolution No. 4108 specifies that each county and city is required to have a Bicycle Advisory Committee to review and prioritize bicycle and pedestrian projects that

Page 2 of 13 ends

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
January 13, 2026
are applying for TDA Article 3 grant funds, and to participate in the development and review of comprehensive bicycle plans. The City’s BPAC fulfills this grant requirement.

Analysis
The City of Concord Bicycle, Pedestrian & Safe Routes to Transit Plan (Plan), adopted by City Council on September 27, 2016, recommends sidewalk gap closure work on Olivera Road between Hillsborough Drive and Thunderbird Drive. City staff has reviewed the recommendations of the Plan and proposes to submit an application to design and construct the Project.

On December 10, 2025, BPAC recommended in favor of submitting a TDA grant application in the amount of $208,000 to design and construct the Project.

Proposed improvements for the Project include two sidewalk gap closures, one American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramp, two driveway aprons with the appropriate driveway transitions, and a high-visibility crosswalk on Sanford Street at Olivera Road. The Project will complement the previously installed Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and curb ramps at the intersection of Sanford Street and Olivera Road.

The total estimated costs for design and construction is $260,000. The City’s application is requesting $208,000 (80% of project costs) be funded by the TDA grant, and the remaining $52,000 (20% of project costs) provided as the City’s local match requirement. If the grant is awarded, staff expects design to begin in December 2026 and construction to begin in late 2027.

Financial Impact
The Project is dependent upon the receipt of grant funds. The TDA funds will cover $208,000, with the City matching 20% ($52,000) from local funds, for a total cost of $260,000. The local match funding source and project number will be identified at the time of the new Capital Budget adoption in June 2026.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. Seq. as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Environmental Quality Act (collectively “CEQA”), submission of the application for grant funds and allocating those funds do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), 15273, 15378, as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and/or the activities consist of creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not constitute a “project”. Even if the submission of the grant application and allocation of those funds did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section

Page 3 of 13 ends

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
January 13, 2026
15061(b)(3), excluding projects 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.” In the alternative, the grant application and allocation of funds is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.19 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(j) (Restriping of Streets), and has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(2) due the following exemptions: 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15302 (Replacement and Reconstruction), 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), and/or 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) because, among other things, it involves minor alterations to existing streets, and construction of a limited number of new small facilities or structures, all as further detailed in this staff report, the resolution, and attachments hereto. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. Therefore, no further environmental review is warranted. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement. Staff will file a Notice of Exemption (NOE) following approval of this agenda item, as the NOE is required as part of the grant application process.

Subject: Considering the recommendation of the Council Committee on Housing and Economic Development to defer the
implementation of Objective 4.7 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element to facilitate affordable housing development on property owned by public educational agencies.

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

Report in Brief
Under the 2023-2031 Housing Element (“Housing Element”) Objective 4.7, the City planned to adopt an ordinance by December 2025 to “facilitate affordable housing development on property owned by public educational agencies.” For the reasons discussed in this report, the Council Committee on Housing and Economic Development (“HED Committee” or “Committee”; Hoffmeister/Obringer) recommends deferring implementation of this objective until such time local educational agencies have more advanced proposals or interest in developing housing on their properties.

Recommended Action
Defer implementation of Housing Element Objective 4.7 regarding the facilitation of housing development on property owned by public educational agencies, due to the

4.d

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d

lack of specific interest or more developed proposals from educational agencies, and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this report.

Background
Housing Element Objective 4.7
Under Housing Element Objective 4.7 (“Objective” or “Objective 4.7”), the City planned to “Adopt an ordinance to facilitate housing development on property owned by educational agencies [publicly owned sites] by December 2025.” The narrative for this Objective further states that such facilitation will include “expedited processing of such projects,” and that the ordinance “will allow density of at least 30 dwelling units per acre and will require at least 30% of units to be offered for lower income-earning households.”
Objective 4.7 was included to encourage affordable housing development on underutilized publicly owned educational land. Unlike many other programs in the Housing Element, implementation of this Objective is highly dependent on the voluntary participation and development interest of public educational agencies that control the property.

Senate Bill 4
Senate Bill (SB) 4, the Affordable Housing on Faith and Higher Education Lands Act of 2023, requires local jurisdictions to allow qualifying affordable housing developments by right on any land owned by an “independent institution of higher education or religious institution.” The term “independent institutions of higher education” is defined as “nonpublic higher education institutions that grant undergraduate or graduate degrees and are formed as nonprofit corporations in California” (i.e., nonprofit private colleges or universities). By contrast, Objective 4.7 is limited to publicly owned sites; therefore, SB 4 does not implement this program. Moreover, according to County Assessor data, there is no private college or university property in Concord1.

HED Committee Recommendation
On November 3, 2025, the HED Committee recommended taking no further action at this time to implement Objective 4.7 based on the following information.

Lack of Interest from Educational Agencies
Three educational agencies currently own and operate properties in Concord:
• Mount Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) operates 28 schools in Concord; • California State University East Bay (CSUEB) owns and operates the CSUEB Concord Center at 4700 Ygnacio Valley Road; and
1 Unitek College, located at 1401 Willow Pass Road, leases its space and does not own the property. In addition, Unitek is a for-profit college which makes it ineligible to apply for a housing development project under SB 4.

January 13, 2026
• Contra Costa County Board of Education operates the Floyd I. Marchus Counseling and Education Program for students with emotional and behavioral needs at 2900 Avon Avenue.

Staff contacted these entities to determine their level of interest and timing in pursuing housing development on their properties in Concord. The entities have responded as follows:
• MDUSD indicated they have no current interest in housing development on their properties.
• CSUEB indicated they are in the very early, preliminary stages of gathering information on potential housing development at their Concord campus, including senior housing. Currently they are performing outreach to potential development partners and have released a Request for Information regarding development feasibility and potential. They’ve also stated that they are open to discussing with the City “any policy actions or funding opportunities that might help incentivize development at our site.” Given that CSUEB is at the very beginning of gathering information regarding development concepts, it will likely be years before they are prepared to discuss and submit an application for a specific housing development, and any housing built on the CSUEB site would be completed after the current Housing Element cycle that ends in January 2031. • The County Board of Education has not responded to multiple inquiries regarding their interest in pursuing housing development at the 2900 Avon Avenue site.

State Reporting
Any City action related to Objective 4.7 will be documented in the Annual Progress Report that is submitted by April 1 of each year to the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Staff does not anticipate that HCD will consider a delay in implementation of Objective

4.7 to warrant enforcement action, as the adoption of an ordinance would not create additional housing within the current Housing Element cycle, as discussed above.

Accordingly, staff believes that HCD will concur that the City’s limited staff resources should be allocated toward programs with greater potential to generate tangible housing outcomes.

When there is more specific interest from a public educational agency in developing housing, staff will bring the matter to the Council for consideration. This could be done either as a study session on a proposed General Plan / Zoning Amendment for the CSUEB site (the typical process for a development that requires land use policy changes), or, if multiple agencies have expressed interest in housing development, as part of a Development Code amendment that applies to multiple educational sites. In

either case, staff will continue to support CSUEB, and any other educational agencies interested in developing housing on their properties consistent with Objective 4.7.

Financial Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. Seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the proposed action to defer implementation of Housing Element Objective 4.7 does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and/or 15378, because the action does not have the potential to result in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects 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.”
Accordingly, no further environmental review is required. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Public Contact
The agenda has been posted and notice of this meeting was sent by e-mail to all individuals on the housing interested parties list, MDUSD, CSUEB and Contra Costa County Board of Education.

Carl Jefferson is recognized for his extraordinary contributions to the jazz industry and for his role in establishing Concord as a music destination. Wikipedia1 notes that Mr.

Jefferson established a successful auto dealership, Jefferson Motors, on Willow Pass Road in Concord in the late 1950’s, and in 1969 he organized a jazz festival, the Concord Summer Festival, held at Concord Community Park. The festival was later renamed the Concord Jazz Festival. Mr. Jefferson is credited as a key civic leader backing the City’s development of the Concord Pavilion; eventually, the Concord Jazz Festival relocated to the Pavilion. In the early 1970’s, Mr. Jefferson founded Concord Records in Concord, serving hundreds of artists. Mr. Jefferson also served in the U.S.

Army during World War II, including D-Day, and in the Korean War2.

Given Mr. Jefferson’s significant positive impact on Concord, staff has drafted a letter of support for Council action.

Re: Letter of Support to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2121 Meridian Park Boulevard in Concord, California, as the "Carl Jefferson Post Office Building"
Dear Congressman DeSaulnier,
On behalf of the City of Concord, I am writing to extend our support for H.R. 6849 to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2121 Meridian Park Boulevard in Concord, California, as the "Carl Jefferson Post Office Building.” Carl Jefferson was the founder of the Concord Jazz Festival, Concord Jazz Records, and a lifelong devotee of jazz music. He played a central role in shaping Concord’s jazz heritage and cultural identity. He was a successful businessman who owned and operated a thriving Lincoln– Mercury dealership in Concord. Although a loyal jazz fan and avid record collector, Mr. Jefferson aspired to do more than just enjoy the music. In 1969, he organized the first Concord Jazz Festival at what is now Dave Brubeck Park.

The inaugural festival drew more than 17,000 jazz enthusiasts, immediately establishing Concord as a destination for jazz. Six years later, Mr. Jefferson expanded his impact on the jazz community by founding Concord Jazz Records. The label quickly gained international recognition for its commitment to jazz.

Following the success of the record label, he advocated for a permanent venue for the annual jazz festival. He successfully persuaded City officials to support the development of an outdoor amphitheater. That venue, now known as the Toyota Pavilion at Concord, celebrated 50 years of music in 2025 and is an extraordinary cultural asset to the community.

For these reasons, the City of Concord voted unanimously at the January 13, 2026, public Council meeting to submit this letter to you proudly honoring Mr. Jefferson for his extraordinary contributions to the jazz industry and for his role in establishing Concord as a recognized music destination. Naming a post office in his honor would be a fitting and lasting recognition of these achievements.

Once again, the City is happy to support H.R. 6849 to honor Carl Jefferson. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Laura M. Nakamura

Thank you for following up. Unfortunately, I have no documentation and I am no longer in contact with any witnesses. But, I was around for a few years and witnessed the behavior. I am aware this is not hard evidence yet I could not remain silent in good conscience.

It was a long time ago. I worked at Concord Records in 1989 and Carl "Jeff" Jefferson passed away in 1995. The culture was different back then. Few people filed formal verbal or written complaints. Even today, few employees or artists in the music industry complain publicly so that they can keep their jobs and recording contracts.

The employee referenced in my previous email was my close friend who was the warehouse manager at Concord Records for years. He passed away in 2014 (many City Hall regulars know that I still drive his old truck around). I met him at Concord Records and can still recall Jeff asking me if I had "met his Injun yet. " "Injun" was a nickname Jeff used for my friend for years in reference to his Native American ancestry. I recall these types of harmful stereotypes were a common part of his vocabulary.

I worked for Concord Record's Vice President who was well liked. She was the person most people wanted to deal with to avoid Jeff and I fielded many calls from people who really wanted to be able to reach her instead of him. In my opinion, this was partially because Jeff was so abrasive and narcissistic and partially because he was often very disrespectful. Again, I cannot provide you with documentation or witnesses other than my own experience. I did remain in contact with the Vice President off and on but she passed away in 2019.

I stand by my allegations, at least for the time I knew people at Concord Records until Jeff passed away. However, I cannot prove them to you with documentation or witnesses at this time.

This is not intended to take away from Carl Jefferson's contributions to Concord. I am saddened that he would be honored on one of Concord's busy locations, a business that he had no connection to, knowing how I saw him treat people. It's not uncommon for cities and states to honor wealthy landowners who contributed to the community, even when their personal behavior doesn't warrant it, but there must be others more deserving to have their name on our large Post Office. At some point, we will need to honor those we know did not lean toward harmful stereotypes and narcissism if we intend to heal the growing divisions in our communities.

Page 5 of 8 ends

It's unfortunate that this honor seems to elevate Carl Jefferson in general as a role model in a way that is unconnected to any specific contributions he made to Concord. It is my opinion based on my own experience that he doesn't deserve it, and I felt I needed to let the Council know and submit a public comment. Perhaps others will share similar experiences in the future.

Hope

Allegations involving racist language or harmful conduct are serious. They should not be ignored, and they should not be accepted without scrutiny.

To fully weigh what you shared, I would need more than a general recollection. If there is any documentation, others who witnessed it, or anything more concrete you are willing to share privately, that would help ensure we are not relying on misunderstandings. I need to be fair to the community and also fair to the individual being named.

I appreciate you raising the concern. Your message will be part of what I take into consideration as the council reviews this proposal, and I encourage you to reach back out if you have more specific information you feel comfortable providing.

Dear City Clerk:

Please accept the following in opposition to Item 4e on agenda for the Concord City Council meeting on Jan. 13, 2026. Thank you.

Dear Concord City Council:

Concord's busy main US Post Office should not be named for Carl Jefferson, and approving Congressman DeSaulnier's HR 6849 bill to do so is a mistake.

Elevating Mr. Jefferson on a federal level is a disservice to the US Postal Service and City of Concord. While an employee at Concord Records, I was disappointed with his penchant for harmful stereotypes and narcissistic boasting, including hearing him use a derogatory term as a nickname for one employee whose Native American heritage was evident in his facial features. This attitude must finally be left in the past, not celebrated.

Politicians wishing to honor Carl Jefferson should limit that to direct associations with specific accomplishments they admire. However, glorifying him as an honorable figure in general, and saddling the US Post Office with that, is promoting emulation of behavior like that we currently see tearing our country apart at the federal level.

Thank you,
Hope Johnson
Concord resident

Report in Brief
The Residential Pavement Maintenance Phase E Project (Project Nos. 2613 & 2621) (Project) performed pavement maintenance in multiple residential areas and a portion of Port Chicago Highway, as well as the installation of curb ramps at intersections to meet accessibility standards, minor curb and gutter repairs, striping improvements, and installation of fiber optic conduit and signal equipment (on Port Chicago Highway only).

See the attached maps (Attachment 1) for paving locations.

The increase in contingency is required to cover the cost of additional work that was performed as part of this Project. During construction, the pavement limits on Port Chicago Highway were extended further south to the intersection of Park Street/Clayton Road, instead of stopping at the north end of Concord Blvd intersection per the original plan in order to address the deteriorated pavement condition. Additionally, extra utility cover adjustments were added throughout the Project to improve ride quality in the residential areas. Fiber optic cable installation was included on Port Chicago Highway, connecting fiber optic lines through both new and existing conduit from East Olivera Road to the IT Server Room at Civic Center to complete the fiber master plan core infrastructure build. The fiber optic installation provides the backbone infrastructure for adaptive signal systems, real-time traffic monitoring via the Transportation Management Center, and improved corridor-level traffic management, supporting more efficient and responsive operations.

Work on the project was substantially completed in October 2025, and the Project will move forward with acceptance and filing of the Notice of Completion later this month after completing final payment for these additional items.

Recommended Action
Authorize an increase to the contingency from 15% to 21% (an increase of $453,780) on the existing construction contract with Bay Cities Paving & Grading Inc. for the Residential Pavement Maintenance Phase E Project (City Project Nos. 2613 & 2621) located on Port Chicago Highway and the St. Francis Park and Holbrook Heights neighborhoods to cover additional paving and fiber optic work.

Background
On March 25, 2025, Council approved award of a construction contract in the amount of $7,563,000 to Bay Cities Paving & Grading Inc. for the Residential Pavement Maintenance Phase E Project (City Project Nos. 2613 & 2621) and authorized staff to utilize the available project contingency for contract change orders that become necessary up to 15% of the contract amount.

Analysis
The following items of work were added to the Project to provide a better quality product, while also supporting the Measure V funding priorities and spending deadlines and the work is complete:
1) Additional paving: Paving limits were extended on Port Chicago Highway further south to Park Street/Clayton Road intersection, which significantly improved two blocks of Port Chicago Highway showing visible signs of moderate cracking and poor ride quality across all four lanes. In addition to the extended limits on Port Chicago Highway, extra “digouts” or pavement repairs were added to various streets prior to receiving a rubber cape seal (a two-layer treatment involving chip seal followed by slurry seal) surface treatment. Multiple intersections had the

Page 2 of 7 ends

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.f
January 13, 2026
pavement removed and replaced to improve ride quality and ensure longevity, including the Esperanza/Moretti Drive intersection to mitigate vehicles bottoming out when driving into the intersection.
2) To improve ride quality, a significant number of additional utility cover adjustments were performed throughout the project limits in areas where a rubber cape seal surface treatment was installed on existing pavement. More specifically, utility covers that measured more than ¼ inch below the final surface were adjusted to finished grade. Many of these extra adjustments were Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) water valves, and their costs for adjustment will be reimbursed by CCWD to the City at a later date. 3) Installation of empty fiber optic conduit was included in the Project’s base-bid and the actual installation of fiber optic cable was added to the Project. This work included the installation of strands of fiber optic cable in the newly installed conduit on Port Chicago Highway from East Olivera Road’s traffic signal cabinet to the Concord Boulevard intersection, as well as fiber optic cable being installed in the existing empty conduit on Salvio Street, providing a direct connection to the IT Server Room in Wing C at Civic Center. This new fiber will allow for improved traffic operations.

Financial Impact
The current total budget for the Residential Pavement Maintenance Phase E Project (Project Nos. 2613 & 2621) is $11,000,000, funded primarily by Measure V funds (Fund 407). There are sufficient funds in the project to cover the increase to 21% contingency for contract change orders, and no budget transfers are required.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the City Council previously determined on March 25, 2025, as part of its review and approval that award of the contract, a budget transfer, and associated appropriation does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Sections 15060(c), 15273, 15378, as it has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and/or the activities consist of creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not constitute a “project”. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects 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.” In the alternative, Council action on this item is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction,

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 increase in the construction contingency is subject to the same exemptions.

Accordingly, no further environmental review is required.

Report in Brief
The Citywide Accessibility Improvements No. 12 project (Project No. 2728) will provide accessibility improvements at five locations around the City. The locations included in the project are Bonifacio Street at N 6th Street, Mendocino Drive at Orangewood Drive, Washington Boulevard at Kelrose Court, select streets in the Ayers neighborhood such as Laurel Drive and Saddlewood Drive, and several streets in the Dana Estates Neighborhood (See Attachment 1). Project improvements include American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps, striping, and minimal paving work. There are twenty-seven (27) curb ramps within the Base Bid and eighteen (18) curb ramps within the Additive Bids. Due to budget constraints, staff is recommending award of the Base Bid work, with the locations for the Additive Bids to be completed at a later time.

All curb ramps within the Additive Bid are within the Dana Estates neighborhood.

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 2026 and be completed in April 2026, weather permitting.

Recommended Action

1. Award the construction contract in the amount of $400,988 to Rosas Brothers Construction for the Citywide Accessibility Improvements No. 12 (Project No. 2728); authorize staff to utilize the available project contingency for contract change orders up to 10% of the contract amount, and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and make the NEPA and CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report (Funded by Community Development Block Grants, Measure J Local Funds);

2. Approve related budget transfers to Citywide Accessibility Improvements No. 12 (Project No. 2728) in the total amount of $210,000 from Street Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2736); and

3. Authorize the City Engineer to accept the improvements, upon completion of Project No. 2728, and direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion.

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 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. 12 (Project No. 2728) was approved by the City Council in June 2024 as part of the Capital Budget. The specific scope of work for Project No. 2728 includes the construction of forty-five (45) 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. The project as bid includes a Base Bid of twenty-seven (27) ramp locations, Additive Bid #1 of eighteen (18) ramp locations, and Additive Bid #2 for additional concrete work. Staff recommends the award of the Base Bid and not awarding the two Additive Bids. The Base Bid includes the following locations: Bonifacio Street at N 6th Street, Mendocino Drive at Orangewood Drive, Washington Boulevard at Kelrose Court, select streets in the Ayers neighborhood such as Laurel Drive and Saddlewood Drive, and Mulberry Drive in the Dana Estates neighborhood. Additive Bid #1 included additional streets in the Dana Estates neighborhood such as Sharon Drive and Lynwood Drive, those intersections will now be in consideration for future accessibility improvements projects.

Additive Bid #2 is for additional valley gutter work at one intersection that was not associated with accessibility.

854. Due to budget constraints, staff is recommending award of the Base Bid. Should Council award this contract, twenty-seven (27) curb ramps will be constructed.

Locations that were included in Additive Bid #1 will be in consideration for future accessibility improvements projects, unit prices received were not adequately favorable to consider award of this work. Additive Bid #2 is not recommended for award due to unfavorable pricing received for concrete work that does not have a direct association with improving accessibility.

Financial Impact
The current total budget for this project is $360,000 and is funded by $60,000 in Measure J Local Funds (Fund 475) and $300,000 in CDBG funds (Fund 254). There are insufficient funds to award the construction contract, including a 10% construction contingency, as well as the costs for construction management, inspection and testing services, and staff oversight.

A budget transfer in the amount of $210,000 is needed to fully fund the project for construction of the Base Bid work, a 10% construction contingency, construction management, inspection, and City staff time. The budget transfer would come from Street Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No.2736) from Measure V funds, $186,000 from Fund 490 and $24,000 from Fund 407. Project No. 2736 is currently in project closeout and the remaining fund balances are no longer needed for the project. The revised project budget after this budget transfer will be $570,000.

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), 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 and because it involves government funding/fiscal activities.

In the alternative, award of this contract is statutorily exempt under CEQA Guideline Section 15273 and is categorically exempt pursuant to 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. A Notice of Exemption will be filed with the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Change and the County Clerk’s office following the Council award of the construction contract.

Report in Brief
The City Council (“Council”) is requested to consider a recommendation by the Council Committee on Housing and Economic Development (“HED Committee” or “Committee”) (Hoffmeister/Obringer) on the implementation of Housing Element Objective 16.1, to facilitate tiny homes and cottage developments on religious institution sites. For the reasons discussed in this report, which include a change in state law that occurred after adoption of the objective, the HED Committee recommends deferring implementation of this objective until such time the City receives more interest in developing housing on religious institution-owned properties.

Recommended Action
Defer implementation of Housing Element Objective 16.1 facilitating tiny homes and cottage developments until such time the City receives more interest in developing housing on religious institution-owned properties.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.h
January 13, 2026
Background
Housing Element Objective 16.1 and Senate Bill 4
The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element (“Housing Element”) contains Program 16, which includes the following objective to facilitate housing on religious institution sites:

Objective 16.1: Amend the Development Code by December 2024 as required by State law (AB 1851) to identify a process by which parking requirements can be reduced for religious institutions in exchange for housing development and develop regulations to facilitate tiny homes/cottage production or other housing opportunities on religious institution sites.

After the City adopted the Housing Element, Governor Newsom signed into law the Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act (a.k.a. “Senate Bill 4” or “SB 4”), which became effective on January 1, 2024. This bill requires local jurisdictions to allow housing development projects, including those with tiny homes and/or cottages, by right on land owned by religious institutions or independent institutions of higher education.

HED Committee Meetings
On May 5, 2025, staff presented the HED Committee with the following options to implement Objective 16.1:

1. Follow SB 4 only, and do not develop additional standards or regulations for tiny home/cottage development on religious institution sites.

2. Develop more robust objective design standards for tiny home/cottage development on religious institution sites processed under SB 4.

3. Create standards and regulations for tiny home/cottage developments that do not fall under the specific requirements of SB 4 that would apply to all religious institution-owned properties.

4. Create standards and regulations for tiny home/cottage developments that do not fall under the specific requirements of SB 4 that would apply to select religious institution sites.

5. Consider projects on a case-by-case basis under the City’s current regulations and process with feedback sought from City Council in a study session.

The Committee indicated support for creating objective design standards (ODS) to address tiny homes/cottage developments in addition to all residential developments permitted under SB 4. The Committee requested staff return with additional information for further consideration, including a map of the 64 properties owned by religious institutions that would be eligible under Objective 16.1 and SB 4 (Attachment 1).

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.h
January 13, 2026
On November 3, 2025, staff returned to the Committee with the requested information.

Staff also discussed the impact on other Housing Element implementation efforts and policy work (e.g., ODS for small lot developments, Economic Development Strategic Plan, etc.) by directing staff to create ODS for tiny home/cottage developments and SB 4 projects.

Staff further noted that the City has not received any interest in developing tiny homes/cottage development on religious institution sites or SB 4 projects. Due to the lack of interest and the new development rights created by SB 4 there is no urgency to develop standards for these projects compared to standards for small-lot developments.

Additionally, as a result of SB 450 rendering the City’s ODS on SB 9 projects as unenforceable, the Council recently directed the Ad Hoc Committee on Small Lot Developments to study the possibility of developing ODS for single-family homes that could be applied to SB 9 projects. The Committee also considered the potential impact of creating ODS for single-family homes in addition to tiny homes/cottage developments/SB 4 projects on the overall ODS update effort.

After considering the above information, the Committee directed staff to defer implementing Objective 16.1 due to impacts on other Housing Element implementation efforts and policy work. SB 4 housing developments on religious institution-owned properties will be subject to the City’s current objective standards to the extent permitted under the state law. If a non-SB 4 project is proposed on religious institution-owned property, staff will bring the project to a Council study session for direction on developing regulations as part of the proposed project.

State Reporting
The City’s actions related to Objective 16.1 will be documented in the Annual Progress Report submitted by April 1 of each year to the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Staff does not believe HCD will consider deferral of Objective 16.1 to warrant enforcement action because this Housing Element objective was included prior to SB 4 being signed into law and this objective would not create additional housing beyond what is already allowed under SB 4.

Financial Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., as amended and implementing the State CEQA Guidelines Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations, the proposed action to defer implementation of Housing Element Objective 16.1 does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065 and 14 Cal Code Regs Section

Page 3 of 7 ends

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.h
January 13, 2026
15060(c)(2) or 15378, because the action does not have the potential to result in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if the deferment of implementation of Housing Element Objective 16.1 did constitute a project under CEQA, the amendment falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects 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….” Accordingly, no further environmental review is required. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Subject: Considering adoption of a Resolution accepting the Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and making findings in compliance with AB 1600. (Government Code Section 66000 et. seq)
CEQA: Not a project/exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), 15262, 15273, and/or 15378.

Report in Brief
The Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section 66000 et. seq.) requires each local agency to make public a report on developer fees within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year. Beginning on January 1, 2026, Assembly Bill 2663 (2024, Grayson) (Government Code Section 65906.6 ) requires jurisdictions that collect inclusionary housing in-lieu fees to post on its website the amount of fees and how they fees were spent. The City of Concord (City) completed its year-end audit and posted the required AB1600 report to the City’s website (www.cityofconcord.org/ab1600) on Friday, December 26, 2025, and incorporated the new AB 2663 inclusionary housing in-lieu fee reporting requirements. Section 66006(b)(2) requires each local agency to review the report at a regularly scheduled public meeting not less than 15 days after the information is made available to the public. The City collects several fees that fall under the purview of the Mitigation Fee Act.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.i
January 13, 2026
At least every five years, the City Council must also (1) identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put, (2) demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged, (3) identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements identified when the fee was established or increased, and (4) designate the approximate dates when the anticipated funding will be secured to complete the identified improvements. This staff report and attached Resolution satisfy the reporting and findings required for developer fees.

Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) accepting Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2024 – 2025 and make the findings in compliance with AB 1600.

Background
AB 1600 (Statutes of 1998, Mitigation Fee Act), codified as Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. governs how public agencies collect, maintain, and spend impact fees imposed on developers for the purpose of defraying costs of public facilities. AB 1600 sets forth requirements that local agencies must follow if they exact fees from developers to defray the cost of constructing public facilities related to development projects, and mandates reporting requirements for these fees. The annual required report consists of a brief description of the fee type in the account or fund, the amount of the fee, the beginning and ending balance of the account or fund, the amount of fees collected, and the interest earned. At least every five years, the City must (1) identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put, (2) demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged, (3) identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements identified when the fee was established or increased, and (4) designate the approximate dates when the anticipated funding will be secured to complete the identified improvements.

Additionally, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65906.6, which became effective on January 1, 2026, the City is required to annually post on its website both of the following:
(1) the amount of inclusionary housing in-lieu fees collected in the previous year, and
(2) whether the inclusionary housing in-lieu fees are intended to be used for a project, if any.

Every five years, the City is also required to post on its website both of the following:
(1) The amount of inclusionary housing in-lieu fees collected in the past five years, and
(2) The projects that the inclusionary housing in-lieu fees were spent on.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.i
January 13, 2026
Through the General Plan and various fee studies, the City has established the nexus between development, the capital improvements necessary to mitigate the effects of development, and approved fees to fund the mitigation measures.

Analysis
State law requires that any local agency imposing development impact fees must prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees as defined in California government Code Sections 65906.6, 66006(b) and 66001(d). The Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Impact Fee Report, included as Exhibit A to Attachment 1, meets all the requirements of these Government Code Sections. Specifics about the information required to be included in the report can be found on page 2 of that report.

Financial Impact
Adoption of the Resolution (Attachment 1) will allow the City to continue programming Traffic Mitigation Fees, Drainage Acreage, and Art in Public Places funds that are more than five years old.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), accepting the Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Section 15060(c)(2), and 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. Even if accepting the Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 did constitute a project under CEQA, this action is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies), 15273 (Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges) and this activity falls within the "common sense" CEQA exemption as set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects 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, the proposed acceptance of the Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 does not warrant further environmental review. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis. Individual projects will undergo CEQA analysis as necessary.

Public Contact
The Council Agenda was posted and the AB 1600 Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 was posted to the City’s website (www.cityofconcord.org/ab1600) on December 26, 2025 more than 15 days prior to being considered by the City Council. In addition, the Building Industry Association and the Concord Chamber of Commerce were notified about the January 13, 2026, meeting and informed them on the location of the report on the City’s website.

Introduction

Legal requirements for Development Impact Fees Reporting The City collects several fees that fall under the purview of the Mitigation Fee Act.

The Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section 66000 et. seq.) requires each local agency to make public a report on developer fees within 180 days after the close of each fiscal year. The City of Concord (City) completed its year-end audit and posted the required Assembly Bill (AB)1600 report to the City’s website on Friday, December 26, 2025, which also incorporates the new inclusionary housing in-lieu fee reporting requirements of AB 2663 (2024, Grayson) (Government Code Section 65906.6). Section 66006(b)(2) requires each local agency to review the report at a regularly scheduled public meeting not less than 15 days after the information is made available to the public. The City collects several fees that fall under the purview of the Mitigation Fee Act.

AB 1600 (Statutes of 1998, Mitigation Fee Act), codified as Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. governs how public agencies collect, maintain, and spend impact fees imposed on developers for the purpose of defraying costs of public facilities. AB 1600 sets forth a number of requirements that local agencies must follow if they exact fees from developers to defray the cost of constructing public facilities related to development projects, and mandates reporting requirements for these fees. In 2024, Governor Newsom signed into law AB 2663 (Government Code Section 65906.6) which becomes effective January 1, 2026, requiring that jurisdictions that have inclusionary housing fees to report and publish the amount of fees collected over the previous year and the past five years and identify any projects that the fees have been spent on.

Through the General Plan and various fee studies, the City has established the nexus between development, the capital improvements necessary to mitigate the effects of development, and approved fees to fund the mitigation measures.

Introduction

City of Concord 5

With respect to fees collected from developers that are not expended within five years, state law recognizes that some project costs can be of a magnitude that it takes more than five years to accrue adequate funds, or that matching funds may not be available within the five-year period.

Capital Improvement Program
The State of California Government Code Section 66002 states that local agencies that have developed a fee program may adopt a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) indicating the approximate location, size and timing of projects, plus an estimate for the cost of all facilities or improvements to be financed by fees. A formal CIP is recommended, at a minimum, as well as a five-year plan. The City bi-annually produces a five-year CIP which helps to maintain and support the City’s General Plan as well as identify situations where infrastructure is needed to accommodate the planned development.

The City’s current, adopted 2-year Capital Budget for Fiscal Years (FY) 2024-2025 and 2025- 2026, and the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan FY 2025-2029 can be found on the City’s website at https://cityofconcord.org/272/Capital-Improvement-Plan and are incorporated by reference herein.

Description of Development Impact Fees

Art in Public Places Fees (Fund 285): The City rescinded this fee in 1996 and has since expended all the original fee revenues collected prior to that time. Revenues are occasionally added to the fund from other sources and interest from account balance have kept the account alive, so the reporting of these funds are included in the annual AB1600 reports. The fund has been used to support public art on traffic signal cabinets. Three years after the funds have been fully expended the account can be closed.

Inclusionary Housing Fee (Fund 251): This fee was established by Ordinance 04-3 in 2004 and updated most recently on March 14, 2024. The fee is intended to be used for housing projects and programs that serve very low-, low- and/or moderate-income households. All residential developments with five or more units must include the number of Inclusionary Units as required in the ordinance or, if eligible, pay the in-lieu fee as provided in the City’s Fees and Charges Schedule.

Parking In-Lieu Fees (Fund 455): This is a voluntary fee that a developer may pay the City as an alternative means of complying with the parking requirements within the Downtown Parking District. This fee was established by Ordinance 954 in 1973 with amendments made in 1977 (Ordinance 77-1084) and 2017 (Ordinance 17-6). The fee is intended to fund parking improvements in the core area of the downtown. All development projects in the Downtown Pedestrian (DP) and Downtown Mixed Use (DMX) districts must meet requirements for on-site parking and loading as specified in Concord Municipal Code Sections 18.160.050 and

18.160.060. More specifically, for projects located within the Downtown Parking District, pursuant to Section18.160.060 B., a developer can request the Planning Commission to allow payment of an in-lieu fee instead of providing some or all of the required on-site parking spaces.

Traffic Mitigation Fees (Funds 410, 420 & 461): Traffic Mitigation Fees were established by Ordinance 05-5 in July 2005. The fees are collected from developers to improve transportation elements of our infrastructure. Primarily these funds have been used to provide improvements to traffic signals, signal operations, and lane configurations supporting all modes of travel. Fund 410 is included in the report as it contains historical transactions; however, all funds have been

moved to Fund 420 and Fund 410 and will be closed. Fund 461 Fee was collected under a mitigation fee agreement with the City of Pittsburg for the Bailey Road Estates development on Bailey Road near the Concord city limit. The fee will be used to improve traffic at the intersections of Bailey Road/Myrtle Drive and Bailey Road/Concord Boulevard.

Master Storm Drain/Drainage Acreage Fees (Funds 430-440): The collection of developer fees to improve the storm drain system in certain parts of Concord was originally adopted by Ordinance 856 in August of 1971. These fees are used to fund capital projects consistent with the Storm Drain Master Plan.

Five-Year Report and Findings

Inclusionary Housing Fee
• The Inclusionary Housing Fee was established by Ordinance 04-3 in 2004 and updated most recently on March 14, 2024. The fee is intended to be used for housing projects and programs that serve very low-, low and/or moderate-income households. This fee allows for new residential developments to contribute to the creation of affordable housing options within the community, either through direct construction of affordable units or by providing financial resources for affordable housing initiatives. All residential developments with five or more units must include the number of inclusionary units as required in the ordinance or if eligible, pay the in-lieu fee as provided in the City’s Fees and Charges Schedule.
• The fees are charged to support affordable housing development, which directly addresses the housing needs created by new market-rate residential projects. The funds support the City’s First-Time Homebuyer Program, a second mortgage loan program that assists qualified low- and moderate-income households to purchase a home. The program was initially funded by Redevelopment and subsequently Successor Agency funds and is now will be funded by Inclusionary Housing Fees. The fees have been used to cover certain administrative costs while the funds were built up to support loan assistance. Typically, this program has been able to fund three loans each year. Staff evaluates the revenue over the previous five years and makes adjustments to the loan program to ensure expenditure of the funds are compliant with AB1600 and the new AB 2663 requirements.

Parking In-lieu Fee
• This Parking In-lieu Fee was established by Ordinance 954 in 1973 with amendments in 1977 (Ordinance 77-1084) and 2017 (Ordinance 17-6) . The fee is intended to fund parking improvements in the core area of the downtown. The purpose of this fee is to provide developers with a voluntary alternative to providing required on-site parking spaces. All development projects in the Downtown Pedestrian (DP) and Downtown Mixed Use (DMX) districts must meet requirements for on-site parking and loading as specified in Concord Municipal Code Sections 18.160.050 and 18.160.060. More specifically, for projects located in the Downtown Parking District, pursuant to Section18.160.060 B., a developer can request the Planning Commission to allow payment of an in-lieu fee instead of providing some or all of the required on-site parking spaces. • The fee is charged to support parking within the Downtown Business District with the purpose of funding off-street parking facilities, mass transit equipment, or transportation system management projects.

Traffic Mitigation Fees
• Traffic Mitigation Fees were established by Ordinance 05-5 in July 2005. The fee is intended to fund street system improvements and transportation-related infrastructure to accommodate increased traffic generated by new development. These improvements are needed to mitigate the impacts of expected development in the City, and thereby prevent deterioration in public infrastructure.

• The fees are collected from developers to improve transportation elements of the City’s infrastructure. Primarily these funds have been used to provide improvements to traffic

signals, signal operations and improvements to lane configurations supporting all modes of travel. Traffic Mitigation Fund monies are programmed as part of the Ten-Year Traffic Improvement Program (TIP), which is the long-range planning and funding tool for transportation projects within the combined Fiscal Year 2025 and Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvement Budget (CIP). The City intends to use a portion of the unallocated funds for current and future active projects. Additionally, the City must have adequate funds on hand to leverage and provide local matching funds as required when other funding sources become available for OSIP identified transportation projects. A portion of the unallocated fund balance will be used for that purpose. If any fees are not expended within the five-year requirement, projects are programmed where the development fees will be utilized, thereby complying with AB 1600 requirements.

Drainage Acreage Fees
• The collection of developer fees to improve the storm drain system in certain parts of Concord was originally adopted by Ordinance 856 in August of 1971. Development within the City has placed a serious demand upon its existing storm drain facilities. In order to offset these impacts, Drainage Acreage Fees are collected. The fees are intended to provide an equitable manner of apportionment of the cost of future storm drainage facilities due to the development of real property within the City. The fees collected are in proportion to the per acre basis of development and the drainage boundary area which the development is located in.
• These fees are used to fund capital projects consistent with the Storm Drain Master Plan.

Fees that are collected can be used to construct planned drainage facilities within the charged drainage area, maintenance or repair, addressing impervious surface runoff, and flood prevention.

Report in Brief
The City of Concord was awarded $300,000 by the State of California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to enhance the City’s “Collision Dashboard” (referred to as a crash dashboard in the grant). This project will deliver a Concord-specific Dashboard using a combination of ongoing work funded through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program and the newly awarded OTS grant. With the support of the SS4A grant, the city is approximately halfway through development of the dashboard, which integrates collision data, the High Injury Network (top corridors with high rate of fatal and severe

injury collisions), and roadway asset inventories to support data-driven identification of high-risk locations and evaluation of safety countermeasures.

The OTS grant will allow the City to integrate real-time and predictive analytics, law- enforcement decision-support tools, before-and-after evaluations, and project prioritization features into the dashboard. The dashboard is designed as a scalable platform and it will improve City staff’s ability to plan, implement, and measure roadway safety investments.

TJKM Transportation Consultants was selected by staff to develop the dashboard framework under the SS4A-funded Concord Safety Action Plan. The OTS grant will fund additional functionality and enhancements to the dashboard currently under development. Staff recommends issuing a task order to TJKM Transportation Consultants in the amount of $300,000 to complete this work and ensure continuity, efficiency, and alignment with the existing SS4A-funded dashboard development.

Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution accepting and appropriating a $300,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to enhance the City’s Collision Dashboard; approve a task order with TJKM Transportation Consultants under the existing Master Services Agreement (MSA), Agreement No. CCA-6083 in an amount not to exceed $300,000 to develop and configure OTS grant-funded dashboard features; and authorize the City Manager to execute the task order in a form acceptable to the City Attorney Background
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant provides funding to support data- driven strategies that reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities, with a strong emphasis on enforcement, monitoring, and measurable safety outcomes. The grant is intended to enhance a jurisdiction’s ability to identify collision trends, deploy targeted interventions, and evaluate the effectiveness of safety investments using timely and actionable data.

Staff applied and were successful in procuring funding to develop a Concord-specific Collision Dashboard to improve roadway safety through data-driven decision-making and more effective use of limited resources. The collision dashboard will consolidate collision data, high-injury network information, and roadway asset inventories into a single platform that allows staff to better identify high-risk locations, evaluate safety countermeasures, and prioritize investments based on measurable outcomes.

By adding real-time, predictive, and analytical capabilities over time, the dashboard will also support more proactive traffic safety and enforcement strategies, improve coordination between City departments, and provide a consistent framework to measure the effectiveness of safety projects. Overall, the Collision Dashboard will strengthen the City’s ability to plan, implement, and monitor safety improvements while ensuring that grant funding is used efficiently and transparently to deliver lasting reductions in traffic- related injuries and fatalities

Analysis
The Public Works Department’s Transportation Division is currently working on developing a Safety Action Plan for review and adoption by council around summer/fall of 2026 The goal of the Safety Action Plan is to plan transportation network improvements that reduce and eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes for all roadway users. The plan will be built upon robust planning, data collection, monitoring, and policy revisions, and it will include a clear roadmap of implementation actions based on proven, data-driven methods and strong community engagement. One of the key elements of the work plan is to build an enhanced collision dashboard.

The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program is funding the foundational development of the Collision Dashboard, focusing on systemic safety planning and data integration. SS4A-funded work establishes the core framework by consolidating collision data, the High Injury Network, roadway asset inventories, and historical speed and red- light running data. These elements provide the analytical baseline needed to identify high-risk locations, evaluate safety counter measures, and support long-term, data- driven traffic safety planning.

The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant builds directly upon this foundation by adding operational, enforcement, and evaluation capabilities that are outside the primary scope of SS4A. OTS-funded enhancements to the dashboard introduce real-time and predictive analytics, law-enforcement decision-support tools, before-and-after evaluation mechanisms, and project prioritization frameworks. These additions allow the City to move from planning and analysis to proactive intervention, near-real-time monitoring, and measurable performance tracking. By layering OTS-funded capabilities onto the SS4A-built dashboard framework, the City maximizes grant leverage, avoids duplicative investment, and creates a comprehensive safety management platform that supports both strategic planning and day-to-day traffic safety operations consistent with the mission of the California Office of Traffic Safety and the City’s goals of public safety.

Financial Impact
The total budget for this project is $300,000 and is fully funded by the OTS grant.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), 15273, 15306, 15378, and Public Resources Code Section 21065, awarding a Professional Services Agreement is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as it does not constitute a “project”, does not commit the City to a definite course of action, does not constitute discretionary approval of a specific project, and will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, consists of information gathering, and in the alternative is exempt from CEQA. 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.

Report in Brief
The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) has provided the City grant funds to conduct a Hydrologic and Hydraulic Study of lower Mount Diablo Creek.

The creek crosses Port Chicago Highway and periodically floods impacting access to local businesses in the Commercial Circle area and the Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO). The grant is federally funded by the Department of War (DoW) through the OLDCC program.

Proposals from design firms were received through a competitive process and Environmental Science Associates (ESA) was selected as the most qualified firm to provide design and related services for the project. ESA has extensive experience in environmental, hydrologic, and hydraulic studies.

After the approval of the Professional Services Agreement, the study is scheduled to commence in January 2026 and will be completed in December 2026. However, completing this study will not resolve flooding on Port Chicago Highway or in the Commercial Circle area. The results of the study are expected to support the Army Corp of Engineers in identifying future actions to be taken by MOTCO to ensure MOTCO’s mission readiness and improve the situation in the community. It is anticipated that future federal grant opportunities will exist to implement a solution, based on this study.

Recommended Action
Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Environmental Science Associates (ESA) in the not-to-exceed amount of $250,750 for project design and related services for lower Mount Diablo Creek Restoration Study Project (Project No. 2805; FAIN No.

HQ00052510032) (Attachment 2); authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
After the winter storms in 2023 the commander for MOTCO met with City staff indicating that there could be federal funds available to financially contribute to efforts to prevent flooding at the main access point of MOTCO. The periodic flooding at Port Chicago Highway also affects Commercial Circle limiting access to Conco and other businesses.

MOTCO staff recommended that the City apply for a grant with the OLDCC, which is responsible for executing community planning assistance grants on behalf of the Department of War (DoW), conclude cooperative agreements, and supplement other federal programs to work with states and communities. The grant was approved and accepted by Council on May 27, 2025.

The Installation Readiness Program is a needs-based grant program designed to assist states and communities to work with nearby military installations to plan, enhance infrastructure, and implement measures that contribute to maintaining or improving a military installation’s readiness and lethality. Under this program, there is analysis of external threats and vulnerabilities to the military installation, which is used to develop mitigation strategies, and identify resources necessary to ensure the continuity of DoW and installation mission capabilities.

The lower Mount Diablo Creek Restoration Study (Study) will evaluate lower Mount Diablo Creek between State Route 4, through the MOTCO property and into Suisun Bay. More specifically, the Study will evaluate potential improvements to alleviate flooding problems, which includes a tabletop exercise to develop risk-based action plans for protecting vital community infrastructure during scenarios where manmade or natural events disrupt community members and MOTCO installation operations. The action plans will consider:

January 13, 2026

1. Environmentally sensitive channel improvements

2. Sediment management

3. Peak flow reduction (retention basins)

4. Bridge reconstruction

5. Floodplain management
Severe flooding occurs at Port Chicago Highway, near the north end of the Diablo Creek Golf Course, which affects access to businesses on Commercial Circle, the unincorporated town of Clyde’s primary access, and MOTCO’s primary (ACP1) and secondary (ACP2) access routes. The loss of access to the installation from either of the access control points disrupts MOTCO’s core mission to supply critical munitions to the troops.

Upper Mount Diablo Creek transects the Concord Naval Weapon Station property upstream of State Route 4, which has become the Concord Community Reuse Project (CRP). The CRP will be responsible for any improvements to upper Mount Diablo Creek from State Route 4 to Bailey Road. Lower Mount Diablo Creek suffers from high sedimentation due to upstream erosion and the effects of storm events.

The Study is expected to include the following elements to address the ongoing flooding issues:

1. Stream capacity and improvements necessary to convey design flows, significantly reducing the occurrence of flooding at ACP1 and ACP2

2. Options for storm water detention basins

3. Stream stability using bioengineering and traditional methods

4. Evaluation of constraints, including:
a. Flow constraints for creek improvements (bridges, culverts, etc.) b. Right-of-way constraints
c. Utility facilities
d. Buildings and other improvements
e. Bridges and culverts

5. Sediment basin options

6. Evaluation of Regulatory Agency permit expectations

7. Cost estimates

8. Compliment and enable ongoing projects for ACP1 and ACP2

Analysis
In order to prevent future and sustained flooding of ACP1 and ACP2 at MOTCO and Port Chicago Highway, a Hydrologic and Hydraulic Study of lower Mt Diablo Creek is necessary to develop engineering solutions that preserve critical access to the military installation and ingress and egress for surrounding community members. The Study will produce existing hydraulic water surface profiles for specific flood conditions and intervals as well as estimated water surface profiles for three potential improvement alternatives.

The grant will cover hiring a consultant to perform the Study, conduct two meetings, one with stakeholders such as MOTCO, Contra Costa County Flood Control, East Bay Municipal Utility District, Contra Costa Water District, TESORO, local businesses, and a representative from the unincorporated community of Clyde. The second meeting would report on the Study results and recommendations to the same stakeholder group.

Completion of this study will not solve the flooding challenges on Port Chicago Highway or within the Commercial Circle area. Instead, the study will inform the future engineering design services that are needed to initiate project design, update the traffic analysis, develop project plans and specifications, and determine final construction cost estimates.

The results of the Study are expected to support the Army Corp of Engineers in identifying future actions to be taken by MOTCO to ensure MOTCO’s mission readiness and improve the situation in the community. It is anticipated that future federal grant opportunities will exist to implement a solution, based on this study.

Procurement Process
Staff solicited proposals for the lower Mount Diablo Creek Restoration Study through a Request for Proposal (RFP). All procurement procedures performed followed Government Code 2 CRF 200. Based on the analysis of their written proposal, evaluation criteria, and interviews, staff recommends selecting Environmental Science Associates (ESA) to perform the requested services. ESA is qualified to perform the services needed and has significant experience performing environmental, hydraulic, and hydrologic studies for local agencies in California.

Staff negotiated an agreement in the amount of $250,750 for ESA to provide services for this project.

Financial Impact
The federal grant will fully fund the PSA. The City’s 10% local match requirement for the federal grant will be the contribution of 836 hours of staff time.

the execution of this Agreement by both parties. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver only if so approved in writing by the CITY.

12. TIME OF PERFORMANCE. The time of performance of the services under this Agreement is of the essence, and all time deadlines identified in this Agreement or Scope of Services shall be strictly construed.

13. SUSPENSION OF WORK. CITY may, at any time, by written notice, suspend further performance by CONSULTANT.

16. CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

A. CONSULTANT covenants and represents that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has, or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of CITY or which would in any way hinder CONSULTANT’s performance of services under this Agreement.

CONSULTANT agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest, or the appearance of any conflicts of interest, with the interests of the CITY in the performance of this Agreement.

B. CONSULTANT is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because CONSULTANT:

18. CHOICE OF LAW.

19. NON-WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition contained in the Agreement, or any default in their performance of any obligations under the Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other term, covenant, condition, or obligation, nor shall any waiver of any incident of breach of default constitute a continuing waiver of same.

20. ENFORCEABILITY; INTERPRETATION. In the event that any of the provisions or portions of application of any of the provisions of the Agreement are held to be illegal or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, CITY and CONSULTANT shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in the provisions of the Agreement with a view toward affecting the purpose of the Agreement. The illegality or invalidity of any of the provisions or portions of application of any of the provisions of the Agreement shall not affect the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or portions of application of any of the provisions of the Agreement. This Agreement shall be interpreted as though it was a product of a joint drafting effort and no provisions shall be interpreted against a party on the ground that said party was solely or primarily responsible for drafting the language to be interpreted.

21. INTEGRATION. All exhibits identified in this Agreement are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement. It merges and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, commitments, representation, writings, and discussions between CONSULTANT and CITY, whether oral or written.
