• Implementation of the Homeless Strategic Plan. The City Council allocated $5.4 million to develop and execute the Homeless Strategic Plan. Staff facilitated the process of awarding grants to five Council-chosen nonprofit organizations, in amounts ranging from $25,000 to $1.7 million.

Enforcement efforts resulted in 79 administrative citations for violations, including unlicensed vending and vending in prohibited locations. A one-year update is scheduled for summer 2026 as directed by the Council. • Consolidated Plan. Council approved and staff submitted the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) and the 2025-2026 Action Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

• Revamp of Aquatics Summer Swim Program. The Aquatics Program revamped its summer swim lesson schedule to improve accessibility and ease of registration for families. These changes resulted in an increase of 406 swim lesson registrations, with total enrollments rising from 2,263 in Summer 2024 to 2,669 in Summer 2025.
• Concord Go! Senior Transportation Shuttle Program. Launched the TRANSPAC grant–funded Concord Go! Senior Transportation Shuttle Program, reducing transportation barriers by offering free rides for Concord seniors to and from the Senior Center. Through December 2025, over 428 one-way trips were provided, enabling participation in nutritional lunch services, and recreation and social connection programing.
• Toyota Pavilion 50th Anniversary. The Toyota Pavilion at Concord celebrated its 50th Anniversary through a number of special activities including a “kick-off” event that provided discount tickets to Concord residents, a “pop-up historical display” located at the Visit Concord offices in Salvio Pacheco Square, unique digital media campaigns, and a short documentary video sharing highlights from the Concord Pavilion’s lasting regional impact on the performing arts. The year- long celebration showcased outstanding partnerships with Live Nation, Visit Concord, previous Pavilion staff members, Concord Pavilion Community Outreach Committee, Concord Historical Society, and more. • Youth Scholarship Program. The 2025 Summer Youth Scholarship program awarded 149 scholarships, enabling youth to participate in a variety of summer recreational opportunities. Financial assistance supported access to multiple program areas, including swim lessons and youth day camp programs, helping ensure equitable participation in summer activities.

Public Safety
• Building Code Update. On December 2, 2025, the City Council adopted the 2025 California Building Standards Code. This is the most recent version of the code, keeping the City’s enforcement up to date with the latest building safety and energy standards.
• Fire Hazard Severity Zones Update. July of 2025 the County adopted the State’s updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps. The Building Division has since incorporated these new zones into its building code enforcement procedures to ensure new Wildland-Urban Interface requirements are being met, where applicable.

police, fire, EMS, and the Emergency Operations Center—on a unified platform.
This enhanced system meets critical radio encryption requirements, incorporates cellular redundancy, and delivers significantly improved coverage to support public safety operations.
• Deployed Cameras at the Willow Pass Community Center, Centre Concord, and the Civic Center Parking Lot. As part of the City’s facility security camera initiative, cameras were deployed at the Willow Pass Community Center, Centre Concord, and the Civic Center parking lot. The new technology provides improvements to building security and much greater situational awareness for Public Safety which has reduced vandalism at these facilities. • Real Time Intelligence Center. Significant progress has been made establishing a Real Time Intelligence Center (RTIC) within the Police Department leveraging existing resources to minimize costs while maximizing functionality.
The RTIC will serve as the hub for the PD’s Drone as First Responder program, will allow access to City’s License Plate Readers and cameras, and will further enhance real-time situational awareness, investigative support, and support informed operational decision-making. A fully operational RTIC is expected by the end of March 2026.
• Crime Reduction. Achieved significant reduction in crime over the past calendar year. From January 2025 to November 2025, preliminary crime statistics show an approximately 19% reduction in Crime Against Person, an approximately 6% reduction in Crime Against Property, and an approximately 18% reduction in Crime Against Society. These reductions are, in part, due to an ongoing Department effort to utilize data-driven policing which utilizes local and regional shared data to generate leads to apprehend known and unknown suspects, and incorporates the use of community, local business, and City automated license plate reader information and public safety cameras.
• Drone as First Responder (DFR) Program. In September 2025, PD initiated a trial Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. From September 1 - December 15, officers flew 604 missions, located 165 suspects and 70 suspect vehicles. In November 2025, City Council unanimously approved expansion of the program.
CPD also launched a Transparency Dashboard on the City website to post real- time information to the community on DFR flights.
• Public Works Maintenance Swing and Weekend Hours Added. Implemented swing and weekend maintenance patrol and response in areas that experience repetitive vandalism and theft, resulting in more effective service delivery. • Trees Planted and Maintained to Enhance Safety. In support of traffic calming, planted new trees along Willow Pass, Concord Avenue, and Clayton Road.
Planted trees within the areas identified as Disadvantaged Communities by the State supporting quality of life and supporting efforts to reduce crime. Completed over 200 removals of long-standing dead and dying trees in the Open Space to reduce possible fuels as fire mitigation.

Customer Service
• Electronic Document Recording. Worked in partnership with representatives from Contra Costa County to implement SECURE, an electronic document recording system, for the City of Concord. This system enables the City of Concord to electronically record documents with Contra Costa County, streamlining and expediting the overall recording process. Turnaround time for recording documents was previously six to eight weeks. With electronic recording, documents can now be recorded in as little as one to two business days.

• Accessory Dwelling Units. In 2025, the City received $277,226 in grant funding as part of the state’s ADU Accelerator Program. These funds are being dispersed as rebates to homeowners building ADUs and are being used to update the City’s pre-approved ADU plans to the 2025 California Building Code. o As of January 2, 2026, $220,000 has been reserved for 28 ADU projects, of which $27,500 (four ADUs) has been paid to property owners for completed ADU projects.
o A design professional has been engaged to update the City’s Pre- Approved ADU plans to the 2025 California Building Standards Code. • Picnic Signage Updated. Recreation Services replaced paper picnic schedules with more durable on-site signage featuring QR codes at each group picnic area throughout the park system. Scanning the codes with any smartphone allows park users, Police Officers, and Public Works staff to view real-time reservation schedules, reserve sites, apply for permits, and report maintenance issues. This system eliminates weekly printing and posting, allowing City staff to focus on other critical duties.
