SUBJECT: Appeal of the Planning Commission’s Decision to Deny Use Permit and Design Review for upgrade, remodel, and improvements to an existing Gas Station and construct a 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store, at 1005 Railroad Avenue, AP-21-1572 (UP, DR).

MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 14, 2022, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 10206, recommending denial of an application filed by Shann Holdings, LLC (c/o Mel Higginbotham) for Use Permit and Design Review approval of plans to demolish the existing kiosk building, reduce the length of the existing fuel island canopy, remove two fuel pump dispensers (while maintaining the service station with four remaining fuel pump dispensers), and construct a new 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store, at 1005 Railroad Avenue,
On June 23, 2022, Mel Higginbotham, pursuant to PMC 18.18.060, filed an appeal of the Planning Commission’s determination.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. All on-site project improvements and upgrades to the existing facilities will be borne by the project applicant.

RECOMMENDATION
City Council receive a staff presentation; provide for an opportunity for the applicant to present the appeal; open the public hearing and take public comment; close the public hearing; and move to adopt the attached resolution upholding the appeal and granting Use Permit and Design Review for upgrade, remodel, and improvements to an existing Gas Station and construct a 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store, at 1005 Railroad Avenue, AP-21-1572 (UP, DR).
8 BACKGROUND
On June 15, 2021, Mel Higginbotham filed Planning Application No. 21-1572, requesting use permit and design review approval of plans to demolish the existing kiosk building, reduce the length of the existing fuel island canopy, remove two fuel pump dispensers, and construct a new 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store for Valero.

On May 19, 2022, City staff brought this item to the 2x2 subcommittee meeting with the School Board of the Pittsburg Unified School District to request feedback and comments on the item. The School Board did not raise any concerns over the proposed project.

On June 14, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public meeting on the proposed project, considered testimony, and voted 3-2 to adopt Resolution No. 10206 denying, Shann Holdings, LLC (c/o Mel Higginbotham) Use Permit and Design Review approval.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Proposed Project
This project consists of demolishing the existing 300 square foot kiosk building, reducing the length of the existing fuel island canopy from approximately 2,000 square feet to 1,400 square feet, removing two fuel pump dispensers, constructing a 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store and 201 square foot trash enclosure, sidewalks, parking lot, and landscaping improvements. The parking lot will include restriping for 5 parking spaces including one (1) loading zone, one (1) van accessible ADA space, electrical conduit capable of supporting one (1) electric vehicle charging station, two (2) uncovered parking spaces, and 8 fuel island canopy spaces. Landscaping upgrades to the project site include planting of climbing vines along the western façade of the building and a new landscape strip along the southern property line, along with maintaining the existing landscaping.

General Plan: The project site is in the ‘Downtown Subarea’ of the General Plan and has a land use designation of ‘Service Commercial.’ In this subarea, retail and commercial office uses line Railroad Avenue, north of East 10th Street. Service commercial uses are located along East 10th Street, and the old County highway.

Zoning: The project site is located within the CS-D (Downtown Service Commercial) District; where a grocery use is a conditionally permitted use with an approved use permit application. Pursuant to PMC section 18.52.100, all projects require design review. The schedule set out in PMC Table 18.52.115 prescribes development regulations for the CS-D District. As shown in Attachment 5 of this report, the proposed project meets or exceeds the CS-D District property development regulations, which include height, FAR, lot coverage, lot area, lot width, setbacks, landscape coverage, and parking for both cars and bicycles. 9 Neighborhood Opposition
Prior to the Planning Commission hearing staff received letters and emails from the adjacent neighbors and La Raza market in opposition to the project. Several concerns cited the close proximity of the convenience store to the adjacent La Raza Market, unfair economic competition, and safety and security concerns of the existing gas station.

Use Permit and Design Review
In order for the City Council to uphold the appeal by the applicant and approve the Use Permit and Design Review applications key findings must be made in the affirmative.

Design Review Findings: In accordance with PMC section 18.36.220(B), design review approval may be granted if the City Council can make a determination that the proposed project is consistent with the following standards:

A. the structures conform with good taste, good design and in general contribute to the character and image of the city as a place of beauty, spaciousness, balance, taste, fitness, broad vistas, and high quality;
B. the structures will be protected against exterior and interior noise, vibrations and other factors that may tend to make the environment less desirable; C. the exterior design and appearance of the structures are not of inferior quality as to cause the nature of the neighborhood to materially depreciate in appearance and value; D. the structures are in harmony with proposed developments on land in the general area; and
E. the applications conform with the criteria set forth in any applicable city-adopted design guidelines.

Use Permit Findings: In accordance with PMC section 18.16.040, a use permit may be granted only if the Planning Commission can make findings that the proposed use:

1. is in accord with the objective of the Zoning Ordinance, the purposes of the land use district in which it is located and is appropriate to the specific location;

2. is not detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the City;

3. will not adversely affect the orderly development of property within the City;

4. will not adversely affect the preservation of property values and the protection of the tax base and other substantial revenue sources within the City;

5. is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and applicable specific plan;

6. will not create a nuisance or enforcement problem within the neighborhood;

7. will not encourage marginal development within the neighborhood; 10 8. will not create a demand for public services within the City beyond that of the ability of the City to meet in light of taxation and spending restraints imposed by law;

9. is consistent with the City’s approved funding priorities; and,

10. if located within the Pedestrian Commercial (CP) District, will support the goals of creating a vibrant, economically prosperous, visually interesting, and engaging pedestrian oriented atmosphere along the primary downtown corridor.

For reference, the adopted summary minutes of the Planning Commission meeting are included as an attachment to this staff report. In view of the 3-2 decision not to recommend approval of the project, the appeal request by the applicant to approve the project can be made and all findings for consistency can be made in the affirmative.

As described in the Background section of the attached staff report, the use of a service station with convenience store is consistent with the General Plan and zoning designations of the property. As such, the approval of the project would improve the project area by developing the lot with a well-designed building and updated parking lot and landscaping.

The applicant has indicated to staff that the applicant will implement a “no tolerance” policy toward loitering on the premises. The applicant will also be providing additional safety measures to the site, maintaining a surveillance camera system that will operate 24 hours a day and will provide Pittsburg Police Department access to video surveillance immediately upon request as related to criminal activity, monitoring a live feed of the camera system, post signage prohibiting loitering and the consumption of alcoholic beverages on site, installing height tape next to the exit, and will provide additional public safety measures if determined necessary by the Chief of Police.

Based on the analysis above and included in the attachments to this staff report, staff believes that the City Council can make all of the findings necessary to approve the project as it was presented to the Planning Commission.

The exterior design and appearance of the site will not be of inferior quality as to cause the nature of the neighborhood to materially depreciate in appearance and value, in that the project includes the addition landscaping, such as climbing vines along the western building façade which will appear more attractive than the existing parcel in its current state of underutilization.
d. The structures will be in harmony with proposed developments on land in the general area, in that the proposed structure’s materials and earth tone colors are in keeping with the character of the area and currently there are no proposed developments near the project’s vicinity. e. The proposed projects will conform with the criteria set forth in the City’s adopted Development Review Design Guidelines (DRDG, Planning Commission Resolution No. 9864), if 14 Resolution No. 22- Page 4 of 14 November 21, 2022 conditions of approval are adopted requiring the project to: a) screen all utility box transformers, backflow preventers, meters, and junction boxes from public view; b) install downspouts behind building walls; and c) incorporate a cool roof on the building and pre-wire the building roof for solar panels.

Conditional Use Permit

4. The proposed convenience store will:
a. be in accordance with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance, the purpose of the land use district in which it is located and is appropriate to the specific location, in that the use is a conditionally permitted use in CS-D (Downtown Service Commercial) District, and the proposed project will be in compliance with all development regulations for the CS-D District; b. not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, in that it will be required to meet health and safety requirements of the Pittsburg Community Development Department and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, and if a condition of approval is adopted to limit the operation of the convenience store between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. (midnight), and prohibit alcohol sales before 9:00 a.m. and after 10:00 p.m.; c. will not adversely affect the orderly development of property within the City, in that it will be located near similar commercial uses along 10th Street and Railroad Avenue; d. not adversely affect the preservation of property values and the protection of the tax base and other substantial revenue sources within the City, in that it will reflect continued investment in the neighborhood and have a positive impact on the City tax base; e. will be consistent with site’s ‘Service Commercial’ General Plan land use designation in that this designation is intended to provide sites for commercial business, including automobile sales and services, building materials, nurseries, equipment rentals, contractors, wholesaling, warehousing, storage, and similar uses. Offices, retail uses, restaurants, and convenience stores should be allowed as ancillary uses;
f. will not create a nuisance or enforcement problem within the neighborhood, in that the use will be required to meet performance standards, as set forth by PMC chapter 18.82, which are intended to address ongoing safety, noise, odor, and maintenance concerns; 15 Resolution No. 22- Page 5 of 14 November 21, 2022 g. will not encourage marginal development within the neighborhood, in that the new development will improve the appearance of the property and neighborhood, by removing a faded structure and replacing it with a new structure with a refreshed appearance; h. will not create a demand for public services within the City beyond that of the ability of the City to meet in light of taxation and spending restraints imposed by law, in that it is located in an area of the City served by existing utilities; and
i. will not be inconsistent with the City’s approved funding priorities, in that that there is no public money involved in this project.

I IV.q: The street-oriented elevations shall
be designed so as not to present the
appearance of a rear elevation (i.e., no
loading doors or large blank walls, absence
of architectural features found on other
elevations, and limited landscaping as
typically found on interior property lines).

Yes. The brick veneer on the structure will be
continued around the entire building (except
for the east side of the building which abuts
the neighboring structure).

IV.r: Trash enclosures should include area
for collection of recyclables (example: space
for two 90-gallon containers minimum, See
Appendix #2 Trash Enclosure Design
Standards).

Yes. The proposed project includes the
construction of a trash enclosure on site.

Green Building Design Guideline Meets Guideline?
VI.D.1: Roofs should be designed to
integrate renewable energy generation
systems and provide a cool urban
environment.

Yes. The entire roofing surface behind the
building parapets will be painted white to
create a ‘cool roof’ and the building will be pre-
wired for solar panels. Further, the building
height will not cause obstructions in solar
access for neighboring buildings.

VI.D.2: Parking lot impacts should be
minimized.

Not Applicable. This site does not have a
minimum landscaping requirement for trees to
minimize parking lot impacts.

VI.D.3: Hardscapes should be constructed
with permeable surfaces (e.g. pervious
concrete, porous asphalt, unit pavers, and
granular materials). Permeable paving
consisting of porous above-ground
materials, a 6- inch porous sub-base, and a
base layer that is designed to ensure proper
drainage away from the building and
neighboring properties. Alternatively,
impermeable surfaces may be used if they
direct all runoff toward an appropriate
permanent infiltration feature (e.g. vegetated
swale, on-site rain garden, or rainwater
cistern).

Conditionally. A proposed condition of
approval requires the applicant to comply with
all C3 regulations.

VI.D.4: Design choices should incorporate
or prepare for electric vehicle charging or
used vegetable oil fueling infrastructure.

Yes. Conduit will be run for an electric vehicle
charging station.

encourage walking.

Yes. The proposed project includes sidewalk
around building.

VI.D.9: Secure bicycle parking facilities
should be provided for at least 10% of
expected peak hour trips. Bicycle parking
structures should complementary to the
surrounding structures and may be partially
obscured by vegetation or painted with a
mural design that is consistent with
surrounding aesthetics. Shade trees should
be planted if the parking facility is located in
an area not shaded by surrounding
structures. They should be located in an
accessible and visible space to discourage
misuse.

Yes. The project provides a secure bicycle
locker with capacity for 2 standard bicycles.

Page 1 of 2 ends

General Plan Goal/Policy Analysis
Land Use Element:
2-G-1: Maintain a compact urban form within the City’s
projected municipal boundary. Ensure that hillside lands not environmentally suitable for development are
maintained as open space.

Consistent. The proposed project would occur within city limits on a project site of less than 5 acres and is not located in an Open Space District.
2-G-4: Provide a range of development intensities, with the highest intensities in Downtown and in areas
accessible to transit and services, and lower intensities in hillsides and at the City’s southern edge.

Consistent. The proposed project is located in Downtown and is accessible to transit and services.
2-G-6: Maintain programs and provide incentives for use of vacant infill land and reuse and revitalization of
underutilized sites.

Consistent. The proposed project would occur on an
existing underutilized site.
2-P-7: During development review, consider project
compatibility with existing surrounding land uses. Ensure that sensitive uses—such as residences, schools, and
parks—are not subject to hazardous or unhealthy
conditions.

Consistent. The project site is in the ‘Downtown Subarea’ of the General Plan and has a land use designation of
‘Service Commercial’. Surrounding uses include
commercial uses. The proposed project would be
compatible with the surrounding uses in that the
convenience store use is permitted in this district with a use permit and is compatible with the surrounding uses.

Land Use Element – Downtown Subarea
2-P-32: Concentrate all Downtown Commercial activity—
which includes specialty retail, professional offices,
personal services, entertainment and other uses along the Railroad Avenue corridor. (Downtown: 5-P-2)
Consistent. The proposed project is a commercial use
located along Railroad Avenue.

Growth Management:
3-G-1: Manage the City’s growth to balance development
of housing options and job opportunities, protection of open space and habitat areas, construction of
transportation improvements, and preservation of high
quality public facilities.

Consistent. The proposed project would not be located in an open space zoning designation and the use is a
conditionally permitted use in the Downtown Service
Commercial zoning district in which it is located.
3-G-4: Maintain programs and provide incentives for use of vacant infill land and reuse and revitalization of
underutilized sites. (Land Use Goal 2-G-6)
Consistent. The proposed project would occur on and
revitalize an underutilized site.
3-P-1: Allow urban and suburban development only in
areas where public facilities and infrastructure (police, fire, parks, water, sewer, storm drainage, and community
facilities) are available or can be provided.

Consistent. The project site is in an area where public facilities and infrastructure exists.
39

Page 2 of 2 ends

3-P-2: Prior to project approval, ensure that the existing and planned transportation system will have adequate
capacity to accommodate new urban development.

Consistent. The project site is within 1/4 mile of a bus stop for weekday routes 381 and 387, and weekend
routes 392 and 394.

Economic Development Element
6-G-4: Maintain and enhance an attractive climate for
conducting business in Pittsburg.

Consistent. The proposed site improvements with this
project would enhance the area and provide a more
attractive climate for conducting business.

Transportation Element
7-P-30: Work with Tri-Delta and planning area residents to plan for local bus routes that more effectively serve potential riders within local neighborhoods.

Consistent. The project site is within 1/4 mile of a bus stop for weekday routes 381 and 387, and weekend
routes 392 and 394.

Resource Conservation Element
9-P-19: As part of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, establish regulations for the preservation of mature trees. Include measures for the replacement of all mature trees
removed.

Consistent. There would be no trees removed in
conjunction with this project.

Health and Safety Element
10-P-16: Ensure compliance with the current Uniform
Building Code during development review. Explore
programs that would build incentives to retrofit
unreinforced masonry buildings.

Consistent. The proposed project would be conditioned
to comply with all the requirements of the Community
Development Department, Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District, Delta Diablo Sanitation District, and all other applicable local, state, and federal agencies.

Public Facilities Element
11-G-4: Maintain environmentally appropriate wastewater management practices.

Conditionally. The proposed project is conditioned to
incorporate long-term best management practices
(BMP’s) for the reduction or elimination of storm water pollutants.
11-G-10: Encourage buffer landscaping and multi-use of
utility sites and rights-of-way to harmonize with adjoining uses.

Consistent. The proposed project will maintain the
existing landscaping along the southern and western
property lines.

Noise Element
12-G-3: Continue efforts to incorporate noise
considerations into land use planning decisions and guide the location and design of transportation facilities to minimize the effects of noise on adjacent land uses.

No conflict. The proposed project is an expansion of the existing use and would produce little noise to effect
adjacent land uses.

PLANNING COMMISSION

STAFF REPORT
June 14, 2022

ITEM: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Use Permit and Design Review of the Valero C-Store, AP-21-1572 (UP, DR)

ORIGINATED BY: Mel Higginbotham, 11584 Francis Drive, Grass Valley, CA 95949

SUBJECT: This is a request for use permit and design review approval of plans to demolish the existing kiosk building, reduce the length of the existing fuel island canopy, remove two fuel pump dispensers (while maintaining the service station with four remaining fuel pump dispensers), and construct a new 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store, at 1005 Railroad Avenue, in the CS-D (Downtown Service Commercial) District. Assessor’s Parcel No. 085-204-006.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution, approving Use Permit and Design Review Application No. AP-21-1572, subject to conditions.

BACKGROUND:

On June 15, 2021, Mel Higginbotham filed Planning Application No. 21-1572, requesting use permit and design review approval of plans to demolish the existing kiosk building, reduce the length of the existing fuel island canopy, remove two fuel pump dispensers, and construct a new 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store for Valero.

On May 19, 2022, City Staff brought this item to the 2x2 meeting with the School Board of the Pittsburg Unified School District to request feedback and comments on the item.

The School Board did not raise any concerns over the proposed project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Existing Conditions: The project site is an approximately 10,350 square foot parcel located on the southeast corner of Railroad Avenue and East 10th Street.

The project site has an existing 300 square foot kiosk and 2,050 square foot fuel canopy with six fuel pumps. The site has driveway entrances along both Railroad Avenue and 10th Street.

See Attachment 3 for site photos.

Surrounding Land Uses:

North: East 10 th Street Pittsburg Housing Authority, Chamber of Commerce, West: Railroad Avenue, Property owned by Pittsburg Unified School District 58 Planning Commission Staff Report
Valero C-Store, AP-21-1572 (UP, DR)
June 14, 2022

Page 2 of 7 ends

South: Vacant land
East: Cumberland Street, Bruno’s Barber Shop, various commercial and residential uses

See Attachment 4 for a map of surrounding uses.

Proposed Project: The proposed project would maintain an existing service station on site, reduce the number of fuel pump dispensers from six (6) to four (4), and include an expansion of use for the existing Valero convenience store. A service station falls under the use classification of “Service Station”, defined in Pittsburg Municipal Code (PMC) section 18.08.080.30.gas, “Establishment primarily engaged in the retail sale of gasoline and motor fuel. This classification provides for the incidental sale of grocery items or related retail goods, and auto parts and accessories. Services offered may include minor vehicle repair and installation of parts, towing services limited to automobiles, nonmechanical washing and waxing or mechanical washing other than classified under automobile washing. Other repair activities are classified under automobile and recreational vehicle repair, major.” A Service Station is a conditionally permitted use in the CS-D District with an approved use permit. The existing service station was legally established, and the proposed project would not expand the service station use. A convenience store falls under the use classification of “Grocery”, defined in Pittsburg Municipal Code (PMC) section 18.08.080.14.a, “This classification includes a supermarket or convenience store that sells general merchandise incidental to food and beverages”. A Grocery is a conditionally permitted use in the CS-D District with an approved use permit. The business operator is proposing to offer ready to eat foods on site, including bean to cup coffee, cappuccino, pizza, hot chicken, fresh fruit, packaged cut fruits, fresh baked cookies, iced tea, fresh packaged salad and sandwiches, frozen beverages including sugar-free options, and packaged snacks. The business would operate between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. daily. The business plans to staff approximately 6 employees.

This project consists of demolishing the existing 300 square foot kiosk building, reducing the length of the existing fuel island canopy from approximately 2,000 square feet to 1,400 square feet, removing two fuel pump dispensers, constructing a 1,600 square foot commercial convenience store and 201 square foot trash enclosure, sidewalks, parking lot, and landscaping improvements. The parking lot will include restriping for 5 parking spaces including one (1) loading zone, one (1) van accessible ADA space, electrical conduit capable of supporting one (1) electric vehicle charging station, two (2) uncovered parking spaces, and 8 fuel island canopy spaces. Landscaping upgrades to the project site include planting of climbing vines along the western façade of the building and a new landscape strip along the southern property line, along with maintaining the existing landscaping.

Access to the project will utilize a connection to existing driveways from Railroad Avenue and East 10th Street.

The applicant will be providing additional safety measures to the site, including: no outdoor storage of materials so there is a clear view of the site at all times, maintaining a surveillance camera system that will operate 24 hours a day and will provide Pittsburg Police Department access to video surveillance immediately upon request as related to criminal activity, monitoring a live feed of the camera system, post signage prohibiting loitering and the consumption of alcoholic beverages on site, installing height tape next to the exit, and will provide additional public safety measures if determined necessary by the Chief of Police.

The applicant will also provide safety measures for the responsible sale of alcohol, including: limiting alcohol sales to the hours between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., outside of these hours the cold boxes where alcohol is stored will be locked, installing buzzers on the doors of the cold boxes where alcohol is stored so that clerks will know when someone has removed alcohol from the cold box, prohibiting the sale of single containers of beer or malt liquor, prohibiting sales of fortified wine or 40-ounce alcoholic beverages and wine containers less than 680 milliliters (mL) unless sold in a manufacturer-assembled multi- pack of three or more bottles, and limiting the shelving space for alcoholic beverages to no more than 25 linear feet of shelving within the store, while maintaining a valid ABC License.

See Attachment 2 for project plans.

GENERAL PLAN/CODE COMPLIANCE:

General Plan: The project site is in the ‘Downtown Subarea’ of the General Plan and has a land use designation of ‘Service Commercial.’ In this subarea, retail and commercial office uses line Railroad Avenue, north of East 10 th Street. Service commercial uses are located along East 10 th Street, the old County highway. Residential neighborhoods surround the commercial corridors, with high-density developments located near the waterfront.

The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, specifically, Goal 2-G-1, which calls for maintaining a compact urban form; Goal 2-G-6, which calls for reuse and revitalization of underutilized sites; and Goal 11-G-10, which calls for buffer landscaping.

The proposed development project would occur on an underutilized parcel and would provide new improvements to the area.

As further shown in Attachment 7, the proposed project is consistent with all applicable General Plan goals and policies.

Page 4 of 7 ends

the CS-D District property development regulations, which include height, FAR, lot coverage, lot area, lot width, setbacks, landscape coverage, and parking for both cars and bicycles.

Design Guidelines: The proposed project is subject to the City’s adopted Development Review Design Guidelines (DRDG), adopted by Planning Commission through Resolution No. 9864. As shown in Attachment 6, the proposed project is consistent with the applicable DRDG sections, specifically those that call for:

1) continuous horizontal rooflines should not exceed 50 feet in length (DRDG IV.f);

2) design choices should incorporate or prepare for electric vehicle charging (DRDG VI.D.4); and

3) secure bicycle parking facilities should be provided (DRDG VI.D.9).

Required Findings: In accordance with PMC section 18.36.220(B), design review approval may be granted if the Planning Commission can make a determination that the proposed project is consistent with the following standards:

B. the structures will be protected against exterior and interior noise, vibrations and other factors that may tend to make the environment less desirable;

C. the exterior design and appearance of the structures are not of inferior quality as to cause the nature of the neighborhood to materially depreciate in appearance and value;

D. the structures are in harmony with proposed developments on land in the general area; and

E. the applications conform with the criteria set forth in any applicable city-adopted design guidelines.

Use Permit Findings: In accordance with PMC section 18.16.040, a use permit may be granted only if the Planning Commission can make findings that the proposed use:

1. is in accord with the objective of the Zoning Ordinance, the purposes of the land use district in which it is located and is appropriate to the specific location;

2. is not detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the City;

61 Planning Commission Staff Report
Valero C-Store, AP-21-1572 (UP, DR)
June 14, 2022

Page 5 of 7 ends

3. will not adversely affect the orderly development of property within the City;

4. will not adversely affect the preservation of property values and the protection of the tax base and other substantial revenue sources within the City;

5. is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and applicable specific plan;

6. will not create a nuisance or enforcement problem within the neighborhood;

7. will not encourage marginal development within the neighborhood;

8. will not create a demand for public services within the City beyond that of the ability of the City to meet in light of taxation and spending restraints imposed by law;

9. is consistent with the City’s approved funding priorities; and,

Environmental Determination: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3, ‘New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures’ of the state CEQA Guidelines, section 15303(c). This section exempts commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use, if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The convenience store building that would be constructed is 1,600 square feet.

Public Notice: On or prior to June 4, 2022, notice of the June 14, 2022, public hearing was posted at City Hall and at or near the proposed project site; and on the ‘Public Notices’ section of the city’s website and was mailed via first class or electronic mail to the applicant, to the property owner, to owners of property located within 300 feet of the project site, to local service agencies expected to provide services to the site, and to individuals who had previously filed written request for such notice, in accordance with PMC section 18.14.010 and Government Code section 65091. The notice was also posted on www.nextdoor.com (“Nextdoor”) and was sent directly to all subscribed residents in the “Harbor and School St”, “Marina Vista”, and “W8th” neighborhoods.

ANALYSIS:

As shown in Attachment 7, the proposed project is consistent with applicable goals and policies contained within the General Plan. Most notably, the proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Goals 2-G-1 and 2-G-6, which encourage the City to 62 Planning Commission Staff Report
Valero C-Store, AP-21-1572 (UP, DR)
June 14, 2022

Page 6 of 7 ends

maintain a compact urban form within the City’s projected municipal boundary and use vacant infill land and underutilized sites.

The proposed project would improve the neighborhood by developing the lot with a well- designed building and updated parking lot and landscaping. The building’s design, materials, and colors would be compatible with other commercial buildings in the area, including the ‘La Raza’ store located just east of the project site. The project would also conform to all applicable criteria set forth in the City’s adopted DRDGs, if conditions of approval are adopted requiring the project to: a) screen all utility box transformers, backflow preventers, meters, and junction boxes from public view; b) break up any continuous roof line expanses exceeding 50 feet in length; c) install downspouts behind building walls; and d) incorporate a cool roof on the building and pre-wire the building roof for solar panels.

Alcoholic Beverage License (ABC): Staff has been in communication with a Licensing Representative of ABC and received information that the premises is located on census tract #3100. 3 off-sale licenses are allowed in this census tract, and currently there is only 1 active license: La Raza Market 134 E 10th St, Pittsburg (20-436860).

Pursuant to current ABC regulations, the mere proximity of the convenience store by itself is not sufficient to deny the license. However, ABC may deny any retail license located within 600 feet of schools, public playgrounds, and nonprofit youth facilities, when there is evidence that normal operation of the licensed premise will be contrary to public welfare and morals.

The PMC does not currently have an established minimum distance requirement from a school for a retail business selling alcoholic beverages. However, staff has determined that the applicant will provide adequate safety measures related to the sales of alcoholic beverages, as described in the ‘Proposed Project’ section of this staff report; and they have been made into Conditions of Approval Nos. 19, 20, 24, 25, and 26 of the proposed Resolution.

Community and Economic Development Department staff recommends that the Planning Commission can make the required findings to approve the design review request, along with the inclusion of several conditions of approval, including key conditions noted above, as well as the following:

1. Licensing. The business operator shall maintain a City of Pittsburg business license. (Condition No. 2)

2. Site Maintenance. The entire parcel shall be kept clean and free of all litter, debris, and refuse. (Condition No. 5)

3. Landscape Maintenance. The applicant shall be responsible for maintaining landscaping in accordance with the approved landscape plan. Amendments or 63 Planning Commission Staff Report
Valero C-Store, AP-21-1572 (UP, DR)
June 14, 2022

Page 7 of 7 ends

modifications to the approved landscape plan shall be submitted to the city planner for approval. (Condition No. 6)

4. Hours of Operation. The business hours shall be limited to the hours between 5:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m.; and shall prohibit alcoholic beverage sales before 9:00 a.m. and after 10:00 p.m. (Condition Nos. 18 and 24)

ACTION REQUIRED:

Move to adopt a Resolution, approving Use Permit and Design Review Application No. 21-1572, subject to conditions.

Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding for a Feasibility Study of Expanded Ferry Service in Contra Costa County
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Cities of Antioch, Hercules, Martinez, and Pittsburg (collectively, Cities), Contra Costa County (County), Eastern Contra Costa Transit Authority (ECCTA), and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), individually referred to as the Party and collectively referred to as the “Parties,” are interested in expansion of ferry service in the County.

Building upon a 2015 financial feasibility study, the Parties propose to study the feasibility of expanded ferry service to East County. The Parties have developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to facilitate plans, studies, and reports to better understand how or whether expanded ferry service can be established.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost to complete the planning work for the expanded ferry service is $200,000 and will be equally shared between the Parties. The City of Pittsburg’s Waterfront Fund (540) will fund the City’s $40,000 share of MOU costs.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council authorizing the City Manager to execute the MOU between the Cities, County, ECCTA, and the CCTA to advance planning and studies to evaluate the feasibility of expanded ferry service in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND
While ferry service from San Francisco extends northeast to Solano County, the only ferry terminal in Contra Costa County is in Richmond. This terminal connects West County to San Francisco, providing a low-emission transit option that alleviates local traffic and increases commute accessibility. The Parties propose to bring that connection, traffic alleviation, accessibility, and other benefits to East County communities and have developed 81 conceptual goals of an expanded ferry service. A financial feasibility study was completed in 2015 and an additional feasibility study is required for the development of initial operating parameters of the service.

Ferry service planning, and development of an implementation strategy, will require coordination with key stakeholders, policymakers, and permitting agencies that may provide input and/or have project approval authority over some or all of the expanded ferry service.

The Parties have developed an MOU that defines the roles and responsibilities of each of the Parties to plan and complete studies and reports to better understand how or whether expanded ferry service can be established.

Under the proposed MOU, the CCTA will develop the procurement documents needed to retain the consultant to complete the feasibility study and will be responsible for managing the consultant contract, and a designated representative from each Party will actively represent its Party in meetings, planning activities, consultant selection, and feasibility study review. The planning work for the expanded ferry service is anticipated to be initiated in early 2023 and to be completed by the end of 2023.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS
As proposed in the MOU, the feasibility study aims to investigate estimated ridership, evaluate fare structure, assess operational and maintenance costs, assess existing infrastructure, define regulatory and permitting requirements, assess connected mobility options for first and last mile to marinas, identify and evaluate service plan options and operating parameters, evaluate possible management structures of the service, identify options for finding the service, and develop initial operating assumptions and financial constraints. Included in the proposed feasibility study will be investigation into deployment of zero-emission vessels, procurement options, and recommendations for ongoing management of the ferry service.

In addition to potential greenhouse gas reductions, the Parties have determined that increasing transit options in Contra Costa County will promote economic development, create jobs, provide additional emergency response alternatives, and support congestion relief by converting vehicle trips to transit trips. Providing ferry operations to service within Antioch, Martinez, Pittsburg, Hercules and the unincorporated areas of East County will also provide a viable transit alternative to these communities for both commute and recreational trips.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

REGARDING EXPANDED FERRY SERVICE IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) entered into as of __________ 2022, (“Effective Date”) by and among the Cities of Antioch (“Antioch”), Hercules (“Hercules”), Martinez (“Martinez”), and Pittsburg (“Pittsburg”), Contra Costa County (“County”), Eastern Contra Costa Transit Authority (“ECCTA”), and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (“CCTA”). Antioch, Hercules, Martinez, and Pittsburg are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Cities,” and each individually as a “City.” Each City, the County, ECCTA, and CCTA are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties,” and each individually as a “Party.”
Recitals
A. The Parties have determined that increasing transit options in Contra Costa County will promote economic development, create jobs, provide additional emergency response alternatives, and support congestion relief by converting vehicle trips to transit trips.

Providing ferry operations to service within Antioch, Martinez, Pittsburg, Hercules and the unincorporated areas of east County will provide a viable transit alternative to these communities for both commute and recreational trips. To that end, the Parties desire to evaluate and assess whether expanded ferry service in the County (referred to as “Expanded Ferry Service”) could be established as a viable service. Expanded Ferry Service would provide connections between the Cities and other employment centers, services, and recreational facilities in the East Bay and other parts of the Bay Area.

B. The Parties have conceptual ideas of the goals of an Expanded Ferry Service.

Completion of additional studies will be required for the development of conceptual initial operating parameters of the service, including but not limited to projections for ferry demand, service frequency, fare structure, operating costs, and purchase/lease agreement(s) for vessels (if needed), and other matters connected with an initial demonstration period and ongoing ferry service. The Parties anticipate that these studies will build upon and refine the results of the “Financial Feasibility of Contra Costa Ferry Service, 2015-2024” study that was completed in 2015.

C. Ferry service planning, and development of an implementation strategy, will require coordination with key stakeholders, policymakers, and permitting agencies that may 83 2
28245120.1/060323.0001
provide input and/or have project approval authority over some or all of the Expanded Ferry Service. The Parties anticipate that a full financial model and management plan will need to be developed to understand whether the service would be viable. This will require identifying capital and operating costs, a potential fare structure, a conceptual management structure, and matters connected with establishing a viable ferry service.

Advancement of these planning efforts beyond these initial studies will require additional agreements, prioritization of funding by the Parties and/or within the Sub-Region and procurement of services, and completion of all environmental review before any of the Parties can commit to pursuing or partnering to pursue Expanded Ferry Service.

D. The Parties desire to enter into this MOU to plan and complete studies and reports to better understand how or whether Expanded Ferry Service can be established. The Parties anticipate future amendments and restatements of this MOU will be required as project milestones are completed, and when there is greater definition around next steps in the planning process.

Agreement

1. Term; Termination; Withdrawal. The term of this MOU begins on the Effective Date, and it terminates when all Parties then-party to the MOU mutually agree in writing to terminate this MOU. Any Party may withdraw from this MOU by providing written notice to all other Parties at least 60 days prior to the date of withdrawal.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Party shall be responsible for paying its share of costs incurred under this MOU through and including the termination date or the withdrawal date.

2. Feasibility Study Scope of Work and Solicitation. CCTA shall consult with the other Parties to prepare a consultant scope of work (“Scope of Work”) that CCTA will use to define the scope of the services a consultant will perform in connection with completing a Feasibility Study for Expanded Ferry Service (“Feasibility Study”). CCTA shall ensure that the Scope of Work and the Feasibility Study adequately address all of the following:
estimate ridership; evaluate fare structure; assesses operational and maintenance costs; assess existing infrastructure; define regulatory and permitting requirements; assess connected mobility options for first and last mile to marinas; identify and evaluate service plan options and operating parameters; evaluate possible management structures of the service; identify options for finding the service; and developing initial operating assumptions and financial constraints. CCTA shall further ensure that the Feasibility Study evaluates the use of small vessels (up to 100 passenger capacity) and investigates 84 3
28245120.1/060323.0001
opportunities to deploy zero emissions vessels. CCTA shall further ensure that the Feasibility Study evaluates procurement options, and that the Consultant develops recommendations for the ongoing management of the ferry service.

Following agreement on the Scope of Work by the Parties’ representatives, CCTA shall solicit proposals from persons and firms interested in preparing the Feasibility Study.

CCTA shall ensure that all other Parties have an opportunity to review and comment on CCTA’s selection criteria and solicitation. CCTA shall obtain the concurrence of the Cities’ and the County’s designated representatives prior to engaging the successful consultant that will prepare the Feasibility Study (the “Consultant”).

3. Parties’ Obligations. To ensure that the Feasibility Study is timely completed under this MOU, in addition to other obligations included in this MOU, the Parties shall have the following obligations.

A. CCTA Obligations. CCTA shall:
a. Develop the draft procurement documents needed to retain the Consultant to complete the Feasibility Study within two (2) months of the Effective Date of this MOU.
b. Coordinate review of the procurement documents with designated representatives of the Cities, the County, and ECCTA; and incorporate comments provided by the Cities, the County, and ECCTA, provided such comments are timely provided to CCTA by the parties.

28245120.1/060323.0001
B. City and County Obligations. Each City and the County shall be responsible for that Party’s equal share of the cost of the Consultant’s charges for completing the Feasibility Study, in accordance with Section 4 (“Invoicing and Payments”) of this MOU. For purposes of the avoidance of doubt, ECCTA is not responsible for any share of the Consultant’s charges for completing the Feasibility Study.

C. All Parties’ Obligations. Each Party shall designate its representative for purposes of this MOU. The designated representative will be responsible for actively representing that Party in meetings, planning activities, consultant selection, and Feasibility Study review.

4. Invoicing and Payment. CCTA shall be solely responsible for ensuring the Consultant is timely paid for work the Consultant performs completing the Feasibility Study under its contract with CCTA. The cities of Martinez, Hercules and Antioch have each elected to allow CCTA to withhold $40,000 in Measure J funds for Local Streets Maintenance & Improvements – Program 11 (Return to Source Funds) in fiscal year 2022-2023 to reimburse CCTA for its share of the Consultant’s charges for work connected with the Feasibility Study. If any city is found to be non-compliant with the Measure J Growth Management Program in fiscal year 2022-2023, the city shall remit to CCTA $40,000 to reimburse CCTA for its share of the Consultant’s work. Each of the City of Pittsburg and the County shall remit to CCTA $40,000 by July 1, 2023 for each of its share of the cost of the Feasibility Study. CCTA shall provide each City and the County a copy of the Consultant’s charges documented on a quarterly invoice.

If the Feasibility Study experiences cost increases beyond $200,000, the cities and County agree to secure additional funds to cover the shortfall. If additional funding is determined by CCTA to be unavailable, the Feasibility Study may be re-scoped or terminated.

5. Audit and Access to Records. Each City and the County shall have the right of access to any books, documents, papers, or other records of CCTA that are pertinent to the Cities’ and the County’s reimbursement of CCTA for Consultant charges under this MOU.

During the term of this MOU and for a period of three (3) years after the termination of this MOU, CCTA shall keep and maintain accurate financial accounts, in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles, of all payments made by the Cities and the County to reimburse CCTA for Consultant charges. CCTA shall provide the Cities and the County copies of those records within 15 days of a written request, and shall make those records available for inspection during CCTA’s normal business hours, at CCTA’s offices, or the offices of its financial consultant. 86 5

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Adopt a Pledge to Address Persistent Opportunity Gaps Experienced by Young Men and Women of Color
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council will consider a Resolution approving the adoption of a pledge to address persistent opportunity gaps experienced by young men and women of color.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.

RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt by resolution a pledge to address persistent opportunity gaps experienced by young men and women of color.

BACKGROUND
In 2019, the City of Pittsburg hired consultant Emerald HPC International to develop a conceptual framework in relation to youth services within the City of Pittsburg by means of stakeholder meetings, fact finding, and planning sessions.

In March 2019, the City of Pittsburg hosted a kick-off workshop to discuss the most critical needs of Pittsburg youth and young adults. Representatives in attendance for the workshop included the members of the City Council, Board Members and staff from Pittsburg Unified School District, a Board Member from Mt. Diablo Unified School District, representatives from the Contra Costa County Office of Education, the City Manager, City staff, and the Pittsburg Police Department.

Emerald HPC completed the framework in July 2019 and worked alongside staff to develop the draft Plan.
92 On June 20, 2022 the City Council approved resolution 22-14108 adopting the Youth and Young Adult Services Master Plan developing the vision, objectives and strategies for programs and funding specific to Pittsburg youth and young adults. Additionally, the City Council requested staff work with the Pittsburg Unified School District to develop a joint resolution to further the work and commitment to address persistent opportunity gaps experienced specifically by young men and women of color.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was discussed during the MBK-Pittsburg Ad Hoc meeting on October 19, 2022.

The item was also brought before the Pittsburg Unified School Board of Trustees on November 9, 2022.

STAFF ANALYSIS
In Spring 2022, in alignment with My Brothers Keeper Alliance, the City joined hundreds of cities, communities, and tribal nations across the country, engaging in cross-sector, City- wide collaboration to create critical and transformational systems change to address disparities that exist for Pittsburg’s youth and men of color. Improving systems to increase educational attainment, employment, and improve public safety systems is beneficial not only to youth and men of color, but to the economic viability and overall health of the residents in the City of Pittsburg.

According to the most recent reported data by the U.S. Census, the City of Pittsburg has a population of 76,544, with 23.4% under the age of 18, 43.3% identifying as Latinx, 34% White, 19.4% Asian, 13.6% Black or African American, 11% two or more races, and 0.9% American Indian and Alaska Native.

Additionally, only 23% of African American and 26% of Latinx male youth that graduate high school graduate meeting eligibility requirements for the California State University/ University of California (CSU/UC) system (comparatively, females graduate meeting UC eligibility nearly 20% more than their male counterparts respectively), and combined represent almost 80% of felony arrests of youth under the age of 17 in Contra Costa County. In other words, racial and gender disparities exist, and those most vulnerable yet at-promise are young men of color.

The Pittsburg Unified School District and the City support My Brother's Keeper in Pittsburg and emphasize the commitment to partner on closing opportunity gaps for all young men and women of color, with an overall goal of ultimately ensuring all youth feel supported as they pursue a promising future and a prosperous, healthy life.

Staff is recommending adoption of this resolution.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Pittsburg – along with partners such as Pittsburg Unified School District (PUSD), Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD), Los Medanos College (LMC), and numerous other non -profit agencies and religious institutions –provide services, programs, and educational opportunities to youth and young adults in the community. The City itself, through the Recreation Department, Police Department’s Police Activities League (PAL), and the Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation (PACF) operate, manage, and support over a dozen youth-oriented activities, from community service programs to sports, tutoring, and fine arts. In addition, the City provides financial support for specific youth programs that provide before and after school care and tutoring, as well as programs that provide young adults with life and career skills to help prepare them for the workforce.

As the City’s population continues to grow – California Department of Finance estimates the population to exceed 90,000 by year 2040 – it will become increasingly important for Pittsburg to effectively provide services for the growing demographic of young people, and provide opportunities for them to enrich and enhance their lives, physical and mental health, and social development. The City can build on its previous successes and lessons learned, as well as the hard work of other agencies facing similar hurdles, to continue to grow the services and support provided to youth and young adults, and work to create a civic- minded populace.

Staff has rese arched other youth and young adult -centered planning efforts, and seeks to include the most applicable and effective goals, policies, and initiatives to the City of Pittsburg’s plan, while continuing to look to our public and private sector partners and pe ers to help inform and implement the strategies identified herein.

Based on the report prepared by Emerald HPC for the City in 2019, as well as research of other programs and City-led workshops, the goal of the City of Pittsburg through this effort is to:
• Identify and close gaps in service for youth and young adults; • Alleviate the amount of unstructured downtime for youth, specifically between the end of the school day and the return of guardians to the home;
• Increase capacity, collaboration, and effectiveness of all youth services offered in Pittsburg; • Improve the health, crime, economic, and education indicators impacting youth that are identified in the Emerald HPC conceptual framework;
• Enhance communication and outreach efforts.

This Plan has been developed with input from City Council members, the Youth Advisory Commission, City staff, the Pittsburg Police Department, PUSD Board members and staff, MDUSD Board members, LMC staff, community members, community youth, and young adults.

Youth and Young Adult Service Master Plan
2 June 2022

BACKGROUND
The City of Pittsburg is located in east Contra Costa County, between the Cities of Concord and Antioch, along the Suisun Bay where the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers merge. With an estimate population of just over 72,000 as of 2019 – up from an estimated 63,000 in 2010 – the City is generally considered a suburb of some of the larger Bay Area cities. Pittsburg has historically been kno wn as an industrial city, with large employers such as USS -POSCO and Corteva Agriscience (formerly Dow Chemical Company) calling the northern waterfront home; however, in recent years, the City has begun to experience a greater outflow of its working population, as more residents head to larger job centers to the west.

Pittsburg has one public high school, one continuation school, three junior high schools, and twelve elementary or K-8 schools. These educational facilities are operated by PUSD and MDUSD, though a small portion of southeastern Pittsburg is within the Antioch Unified School District (AUSD) attendance area.

The City has one public library, two BART Stations, and is served by the Tri Delta Transit bus system.

Pittsburg is also home to L os Medanos College (LMC) , recently ranked in the top six for community colleges nationwide.

The City itself lacks some of the infrastructure helpful in providing youth services. Former youth centers along Marina Boulevard and Crestview Drive have been closed since the late 1990s. The Pittsburg Youth Development Center, which offers youth classes and sports, is outdated and cannot meet the demand of a city the size of Pittsburg.

PLAN DEVELOPMENT
In May 2019, the City hired Emerald HPC to lead a roundtable discussion of representatives from the City, PUSD, MDUSD, and the Pittsburg Police Department. During the roundtable, the group listed the following common issues regarding the needs of Pittsburg youth:
• more places to gather;
• greater diversity of activities, particularly after school; • time with parents, guardians, and positive role models/mentors; and • employment and career pathway opportunities.

Following the roundtable discussion, Emerald HPC conducted additional demographic and background research, and identified several key consideration items that would help inform future policies, programs, or funding allocations targeting youth service. The key findings contained within the reports provided by Emerald HPC are summarized below:
• Many school age children lack supervision during the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., in part due to long commute times resulting from an imbalance of jobs in the area. Significant commutes leave less time for parents and caregivers to spend with their families and adversely affects the quality of life for children and youth. • Social determinants are in part responsible for the unequal and avoidable differences in health status within and between communities.
• Collaboration between families, schools, and law enforcement is critical for youth, and therefore the future of communities, to prosper.
• There are predictable outcomes related to youth who become disengaged for a variety of factors. Adolescents and young adults are particularly sensitive to environmental influences, 103

such as family, peer group, school, neighborhood, policies, and societal cues. • Economic mobility is key, and poverty, unemployment, transportation, childcare, and homelessness greatly impact career/college preparation.

Following the fact-finding and research phase, staff and Emerald HPC worked together to identify a set of strategies, actions, and next steps. These include:

1. Employment-focused skills training. Investing in programs that train at-risk youth, reentry, and other populations in local industries wil l provide increased access to job opportunities close to home, thereby strengthening both the community and the local economy. Creating stronger partnerships with local community colleges and specialized employment skills training partners can help increase youth access to the skills needed for employment.

2. Improve neighborhood health and mortality rates. There is a need to improve the health of the people within low -income communities. This begins with neighborhood and health partnerships that include positive community education and advocacy. Once the campaign is ready for launch, there must be a strategic, facilitated outdoor community information and engagement forum with health professionals, city and county leaders and officials in partnership with respected neighborhood leaders.

3. Community outreach and engagement to support neighborhoods and public schools. Prior to the launch of a community outreach and engagement strategy, conversations with key stakeholders must be held so that they are sufficientl y versed in agreed upon strategy.

Sharing project implementation and success with the community will help residents champion the comprehensive strategy and own the commitment, effort and outcomes that support community health and prosperity.

Staff has utilized the recommendations of Emerald HPC to complete an extensive list of programs, activities, and services available to youth of all ages in the City, and has identified the most critical gap in service as high school -aged students between the hou rs of 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. While programs for this age group do exist, the number of spots are often limited, and programs may carry a fee. Initial opportunities noted by the 2x2 Subcommittee members include getting youth involved/engaged in local government; coordinating a youth services network by collaborating with other agencies in informing youth of resources; helping enhance job skills training; and continue to help build capacity for existing organizations.

In March 2022, the newly formed Youth Adviso ry Commission was asked to review and make recommendations on the draft Youth and Young Adult Services Master Plan. The input of the Commission included recommended changes to ensure an emphasis on safety, mental health, social engagement, access to workfo rce programs and youth providers, and the addition of a community center/hub. The Commissioners noted that the biggest challenges not a lack of available programming and opportunities, it is that many are not aware of the programs and opportunities that exist.

DEMOGRAPHICS AND STATISTICS
The City of Pittsburg has a diverse , and relatively young population, with a large percentage (35%) of residents under the age of 25. The median age of a Pittsburg resident is 35, several years younger than the county average of 40.

As described in the Conceptual Framework prepared by Emerald HPC, and per Contra Costa County Health Department data, in Contra Costa County, a child born in a low-poverty area in 2000 could expect to live more than six years longer than a child born in a high-poverty area. Life expectancy in low-poverty areas was 81.4 years, compared to 74.9 years in high -poverty areas. African Americans in Contra Costa, in particular, had a shorter life expectancy (73.1 years) than any other racial/ethnic group.

Not surprisingly, education levels also play into life expectancy, as it is widely recognized that higher education correlates to lower levels of poverty (U.S. Cens us Bureau) which, as described above, have a direct impact on life expectancy. Per the Conceptual Framework, a child born in a high-education area in Contra Costa (i.e., all census tracts with less than 5% of residents with less than a high school diploma) in 2000 could expect to live more than seven years longer than a child born in a low -education area (all census tracts with 25% or more residents with less than a high school diploma). As shown in Table 1.2, below, approximately 75% of Pittsburg students surveyed as part of the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) 2016-17, for PUSD responded that their parents either did not have a college degree, or did not know the education level of their parents.

The City does face a poverty rate that exceeds that of the county, approximately 13.6% compared to

9.75%. As shown in Figure 1.2, residents identifying as “Hispanic,” were the most common racial or ethnic group living below the poverty line.

Pittsburg youth also attend after school programs at a low rate. Based on CHKS 2016-17 data, more than 80% of students surveyed in grades 7, 9, and 11 did not attend after school programs at any point during the week.

PLAN VISION, OBJECTIVES, and STRATEGIES
The Youth and Young Adult Service Master Plan is intended to implement the City’s vision for a community the supports the education, health, and wellness of its youth and young adults and seeks to strategically improve their social and economic outcomes.

The established Vision of the Plan is reflective of the values of the City and its partners; the adopted Vision will be implemented through six over-arching goals and multiple strategies that will rely on the development of a coordinated youth services network that is facilitated by the City and includes the participation of key partners to achieve intended outcomes.

The formulation of this Plan is a result of feedback gathered from stakeholders and research conducted by the City and via the City’s consultant, Emerald HPC. The following objectives will frame the City’s actions going forward and will establish strategie s for reaching the identified outcome, help provide milestones for Plan implementation, and a gauge to help measure success. Implementation Strategies may include action steps that further break down tasks. This working document will direct the collective efforts of the City and its partners, as applicable. The objectives contained herein are intended to be fluid, and staff anticipates minor modifications as additional research and outreach is conducted.

The following Implementation Strategies have been grouped according to their estimated implementation timing rated on a scale of one to three to gauge the City effort and resources required for implementation; however, due to a variety of contributing factors, the City wishes to convey that the timing of implementation may need to be adjusted as funding, personnel resources, and other factors come to light. “Short term” strategies are likely to be implemented within the first year of Plan adopted, while “medium term” strategies likely will require additional funding, staff time, or outreach with a timeline of 2-5 years. “Long term” stra tegies require the most outreach, planning, and funding, and thus have the furthest horizon, likely in the 3 -10 year range. Many of these strategies are contingent or rely heavily upon implementation of other initiatives, but also may be ongoing once initiated.

Potential funding mechanisms for programs include new tax and lease revenues from specific businesses or developments, private contributions, Pittsburg Power Company contributions, General Fund revenues, event sponsorship, and grants. Funding for facilities and capital projects, such as future recreation or other types of youth centers will likely come from community benefit contributions or other types of private sponsorship; however, staff will explore other financing options, such as enhanced infrastruct ure financing districts (EIFD) and grants.

VISION:

The City of Pittsburg envisions a community where all Youth and Young Adults rise above social and economic barriers to realize their full potential. 108

City of Pittsburg Youth Services Collaborative Strategy

I. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The City of Pittsburg has contracted with Emerald HPC International, LLC to develop a Conceptual Framework focused on the identification of fact-based issues facing youth, families and neighborhoods throughout the city of Pittsburg.

It is clear through research and assessment that, depending on the strategies that the City of Pittsburg decides to utilize in order to impact particular indicators, turning the dial on critical issues facing the city will most likely require extensive and outcomes-based collaboration between relevant city staff and potential partners, such as education leaders, existing and effective non-profits, law enforcement, county youth correction facilities, Los Medanos College, substance abuse programs, faith-based organizations and job training programs,.

Such a collaboration will need to be directed by individuals who have a comprehensive understanding of issues identified in this framework and include the involvement of city officials, school administration, youth, households, specific and relevant non-profits, political representatives and other regional stakeholders, through a process of articulating strategic opportunities and defining interlocking roles for the partner stakeholders.

With the assistance of a project leader, stakeholder participation should be facilitated through a process of articulating strategic opportunities and defining interlocking roles for partners.

Role of the Conceptual Framework in the Collaborative Planning Process Core to our High Performing Communities Framework™ (HPC) is the development of a conceptual framework that identifies and articulates potential strategies and interlocking roles of stakeholder partner organizations.

The design of a conceptual framework, in the HPC process, precedes development of a full-blown, operationalized plan. The facts and data within the framework help create pathways to addressing issues facing youth, families, and neighborhoods.

We define a conceptual framework as:
“a tool for making conceptual distinctions and organizing ideas to help guide a planning team in the process of articulating a strategy or strategies based on an identified set of interlocking roles assigned to organizations, assets and stakeholders, for the specific purpose of achieving measurable outcomes.” (An animation of the HPC process can be found at www.emeraldhpc.com/hpc-process.html.)

An initiative based on a conceptual framework requires general acknowledgement, acceptance, and agreement with a common set of facts and indicators among the stakeholders. This framework presents the groundwork for such an agreement.

The facts and data within this framework can help guide a tangible implementation process that begins with the immediate focus on a youth services collaborative strategy that builds and strengthens the partner relationships needed to achieve long term outcomes.

This framework may also help guide policy related to youth services funding that aligns with agreed-upon partner goals and provides long-term financial stability to encourage and enhance system cohesion, inter-locking partner roles, service integration, community trust and support, and advocacy for targeted youth and families.

City of Pittsburg Youth Services Collaborative Strategy

II. FACT-FINDING, RESEARCH, & ANALYSIS: KEY INDICATORS
During the fact-finding phase of our work, we facilitated a roundtable discussion, hosted by the City of Pittsburg, with school district and city officials. This group listed the following common issues regarding the needs of Pittsburg youth: more places to gather; greater diversity of activities, particularly after school; time with parents; and employment and career pathway opportunities.

We have now conducted demographic research and analysis based on those issues.

As we translated the issues into research priorities, important underlying facts have been identified that help clarify needs and root causes. With a better understanding of root causation, the community can properly identify key indicators with potential strategies for change. This in turn can inform a facilitated collaborative process to oversee and implement the desired strategies and to measure impact outcomes.

It is important to avoid the promotion of assumptions, biases or fears based on false narratives, silos, competition or stereotypes about age, ethnicity, neighborhoods and income levels and to set additional or new goals based on factual as well as current and relevant data.

Identifying and working with the right stakeholder and planning team will help further dissect and understand root causes underlying the statistics, studies, and community perceptions. The city, professional stakeholders and residents must have the right perspective in order to really make a difference.

Health, Crime, Economic, and Education Indicators
We must note from the onset that East Contra Costa is home to over 300,000 people, with many residents living in historic high-poverty areas and long commute times due to a lack of jobs close to home. The average commute for many residents in the region is an hour and a half one way. This leaves less time for parents and caregivers to spend with their families and to become rooted and engaged in civic life and adversely affects the quality of life for children and youth.

Moreover, in our work, we have consistently found that impoverished neighborhoods are challenged with serious crime, health, and education problems that restrict the opportunities of those growing up and living in these communities. These barriers often thwart economic development and business growth efforts as well and can drive a wedge between the three groups that must be working in trust and unity for a community to grow and prosper. They are: families, schools, and law enforcement.

The data that we are providing is eye opening, and more importantly, helps to create a road map for understanding and changing key community dynamics in Pittsburg.

Health and Wellness
The following data is from: https://cchealth.org/health-data/population.php

In Contra Costa, greater wealth equates to longer life. A child born in a low-poverty area in 2000 could expect to live more than six years longer than a child born in a high-poverty area. Life expectancy in low-poverty areas was 81.4 years and 74.9 years in high-poverty areas.

African Americans in Contra Costa had a shorter life expectancy (73.1 years) than any other racial/ethnic group in the county. An Asian/Pacific Islander or Hispanic baby born between 2005 and 2007 in Contra Costa could expect to live more than 12 years longer than an African American baby born at the same time.

A child born in a high-education area in Contra Costa (i.e., all census tracts with less than 5% of residents with less than a high school diploma) in 2000 could expect to live more than seven years longer than a child born in a low-education area (all census tracts with 25% or more residents with less than a high school diploma).

City of Pittsburg Youth Services Collaborative Strategy

Between 2005–2007, heart disease and cancer accounted for roughly half of all deaths in Contra Costa and California. Heart disease accounted for 22.7% of all deaths in Contra Costa, making it the second leading cause of death in the county after cancer.

Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in Contra Costa, accounting for 2.9% of all deaths in the county. People living in San Pablo, Pittsburg, Antioch and Richmond were more likely to die from diabetes compared to the county overall.

Social Determinants of Health
We cannot minimize the critical importance of including health in your strategy for youth and community development. Social determinants have a direct impact on health disparities among specific populations.

The data shows that race and ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, age, disability, socioeconomic status, and geographic location all contribute to an individual’s ability to achieve good health.

According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, “A range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors contributes to individual and population health.” They go on to say: “People with a quality education, stable employment, safe homes and neighborhoods, and access to preventive services tend to be healthier throughout their lives. Conversely, poor health outcomes are often made worse by the interaction between individuals and their social and physical environment.” Concentrated pockets of residents suffering from poor physical conditions are a barrier to economic growth and stability. According to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, African American, Hispanic, and American Indian or Alaska Native adults were significantly more likely to have below basic health literacy compared to their white and Asian or Pacific Islander counterparts. Hispanic adults had the lowest average health literacy score compared to adults in other racial and ethnic groups.

Social determinants are in part responsible for the unequal and avoidable differences in health status within and between communities. As a leading health topic, social determinants take into account the critical role of home, school, workplace, neighborhood, and community in improving health.

From infancy through old age, the conditions in the social and physical environments in which people are born, live, work, and age can have a significant influence on health outcomes as follows:

Prenatal
According to the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, it is important to improve the prenatal health-related behaviors of women, “including reducing their use of cigarettes, alcohol illegal drugs and economic worry and pregnancy as well as related birth related complications.” Further, other documented benefits of prenatal care include longer intervals between the birth of the first and second child, longer relationships with current partner, and fewer months of using welfare and food stamps. The positive effects of proper prenatal care reduce the societal outcomes of crime, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, child abuse, child neglect, and domestic violence.

Children
Early and middle childhood provides the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional foundation for lifelong health, learning, and wellbeing. A history of exposure to adverse experiences in childhood, including exposure to violence and maltreatment, is associated with health risk behaviors such as smoking, alcohol and drug use, and risky sexual behavior, as well as health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, sexually transmitted diseases, and attempted suicide. Features of the built environment, such as exposure to lead-based paint hazards and pests, negatively affect the health and development of young children.

Adolescents
Because they are in developmental transition, adolescents and young adults are particularly sensitive to environmental influences. Environmental factors, including family, peer group, school, neighborhood, policies, and societal cues, can either support or challenge young people’s health and wellbeing. 124

Addressing young people’s positive development facilitates their adoption of healthy behaviors and helps to ensure a healthy and productive future adult population. Adolescents who grow up in neighborhoods characterized by poverty are more likely to be victims of violence; use tobacco, alcohol, and other substances; become obese; and engage in risky sexual behavior.

Adults
Access to and availability of healthier foods can help adults follow healthful diets.

For example, better access to retail venues that sell healthier options may have a positive impact on a person’s diet. These venues may be less available in low-income or rural neighborhoods. Also, longer hours, compressed work weeks, shift work, reduced job security, and part-time and temporary work are realities of the modern workplace and are increasingly affecting the health and lives of U.S. adults. Research has shown that workers experiencing these stressors are at higher risk of injuries, heart disease, and digestive disorders.

Older Adults
Availability of community-based resources and transportation options for older adults can positively affect health status. Studies have shown that increased levels of social support are associated with a lower risk for physical disease, mental illness, and death.

Impact of Social Determinants on Social Emotional Youth Health Disparities There are predictable outcomes related to youth who become disengaged because of family, school, and neighborhood disparities. As outlined above, key risk factors affect the physical, cognitive, and social- emotional foundation for lifelong health, learning, and wellbeing of youth and can lead to smoking, alcohol and drug use, and risky sexual behavior, as well as health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, sexually transmitted diseases, and attempted suicide. Adolescents and young adults are particularly sensitive to environmental influences, such as family, peer group, school, neighborhood, policies, and societal cues.

It is important to emphasize a focus on health and education indicators for children and adolescents when discussing youth development strategies and related assessment tools because youth are our economic, workforce and education pipeline for regional economic stability and their health and wellbeing is a predictor of future community health and prosperity.

Youth Arrests and Incarceration
Youth incarceration is typically a result of family, school, and community disconnect created by poverty and the adult response to the health and social disparities discussed above. The interlocking roles these dynamics play is important to consider when determining a collaborative strategy. They are not independent issues.

The data below is related to youth arrests in Pittsburg and in the county in general. Please use the attached links provided for further information.

In Pittsburg, Juvenile Arrests in Pittsburg are up 34%, comparing January - May 2018 to January - May 2019. http://www.ci.pittsburg.ca.us/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=11129

Within Contra Costa County, the incarceration rates reveal a similar stark disparity: 16 youth incarcerated for every 1,000 black youth compared to 1 for every 1,000 white youth. Interestingly, in Alameda the disparity is not quite so dramatic when it comes to incarceration: 5 black youth incarcerated for every 1,000 compared to 0 per 1,000 for whites. https://youthlaw.org/publication/powerful-new-tool-for-examining-the-youth-incarceration-data- reveals-the-depth-of-the-problem-in-the-united-states/

Per 100,000 youth, Contra Costa has only 330 youth felony arrests compared to the California average of 478.

However, Contra Costa has a youth state confinement rate of 107 youth for every 100,000 compared to California's average of only 34. This may be indicative of an issue with how we as a community deal with behavior from youth that is deemed undesirable. http://casi.cjcj.org/Juvenile/Contra-Costa

Youth who have contact with the juvenile justice system are at increased risk for a number of negative long-term outcomes—such as injury, substance use and dependency, dropping out of school, and early pregnancy—when compared with the general youth population. Youth who have been detained also may face difficulty gaining the educational credentials they need to obtain sustained employment and may be more likely to engage in criminal behavior as adults. Conditions that increase the likelihood of involvement with the juvenile justice system include family poverty, separation from family members including parental incarceration, a history of maltreatment, and exposure to violence in the home and community. https://www.kidsdata.org/export/pdf?cat=30

In 2015 in Contra Costa, 1.6 per every 1,000 white youth was placed on “electronic monitoring” also known as an ankle monitor, compare this to 17.6 per 1000 for black youth. Statewide for every 1 white youth referred to probation there were 1.2 Latino youth and 3.1 black youth in 2006. By 2015 the gap actually widened to 1.4 Latino youth and 3.8 black youth for every 1 white youth referred to probation. http://casi.cjcj.org/Juvenile/Contra-Costa

Within California in 2014, for every 1 white youth tried as an adult there were 3.3 Latino youth and 11.3 black youth tried as an adult. In 2014, Contra Costa filed 8 white youth, 5 Latino youth and 98 black youth into the adult court system. http://www.cjcj.org/uploads/cjcj/documents/the_prosecution_of_youth_as_adults.pdf

An evaluation of a restorative justice program in Alameda County shows restorative justice diversion works.

Youth who participated in a diversion process were 44% less likely to recidivate compared to youth who were processed through the juvenile legal system.

Obstacles to Economic Mobility: Poverty, Unemployment, Transportation, Childcare, Homelessness It is important to understand how personal, social, educational and environmental factors contribute to economic barriers in the region that impact opportunities for youth and families. The following information is critical to ensure that Pittsburg effectively addresses service gaps and does not miss serving those most in need because of stereotypes and misinformation about residents and especially youth of color.

Poverty

The 2008 economic recession forced millions of Americans into poverty, up from 11% in 2000 to about 15%.

Poverty rates actually improved under the Obama administration, going down to 12.7% in 2016. Of the 39.5 million people living below the poverty line who rely on food stamps, 43% are white and only 23% are black.

And, when we look at the 20 million people living in extreme poverty (those households making less than 50 percent of the poverty threshold), 42% are white and 26% are black.

With that said, through our research we found the following additional facts regarding poverty:

A Stanford University study shows that in 1970, 65 percent of America’s families lived in “middle- income” situations. By 2008, only 43 percent of U.S. families lived in middle-income neighborhoods.

Meanwhile, over that same period of time, the share of families living in either poor or rich neighborhoods essentially doubled. (The book "Coming Apart" draws on five decades of statistics and research that describes these findings.)
Further, it was once thought that poverty was mostly a problem for minorities in urban neighborhoods, or those living in the rural areas, particularly in Southern states. But the reality is that poverty is beginning to devour what was a majority of white middle-class families in major suburban areas.

Our work has required developing a deeper understanding of the effects of concentrated poverty on neighborhoods in this region. Neighborhoods with concentrated poverty oftentimes isolate their residents from the resources and networks they need to reach their potential and deprive the larger community of the neighborhood’s human and social capital.

With both the rise of poverty in urban communities such as Pittsburg and suburban areas throughout the United States, researchers have sought to interpret the dynamic between neighborhoods and residents in communities of concentrated poverty.

Impoverished neighborhoods are challenged with serious crime, health, and education problems that, in turn, further restrict the opportunities of those growing up and living in them, and thwart business development and business acquisition efforts.

Pittsburg has no alternative but to take seriously the economic status of populations within the city. As the chart below indicates, Pittsburg’s poverty rate is 13.6% (people living below poverty level). http://worldpopulationreview.com

City/Municipality Population # of Businesses Poverty Rate Hercules 25,545 1,630 5.5%
Rodeo 10,400 15 15.23%
Crockett (unincorporated) 3,044 (n/a) 9.2%
Martinez 38,402 3, 489 5.6%
Walnut Creek 70,667 19,176 7.0%

Pittsburg 72,141 4,367 13.6%
Antioch 112,635 6,018 14.6%
(Note: Antioch’s 94509 zip code has a population of 67,279 & a poverty rate of 18.1%; while Antioch’s 94531 zip code has a population of 45,356 & a poverty rate of 9.3%. https://factfinder.census.gov.) Brentwood 65,288 4,106 7.7%
Oakley 43,051 1,902 7.5%

Contra Costa County has a population of 1,150,215 and an overall poverty rate of 9.8%.

A key barrier to economic mobility in Pittsburg and East Contra Costa is the lack of industry and work opportunities near home.

African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to be unemployed compared to their white counterparts.

Further, all adults with less than a high school education are three times more likely to be unemployed than those with a bachelor’s degree.

Inequitable access to high-quality education contributes to achievement gaps across racial, ethnic, and economic lines and to the decline of student achievement across the U.S. compared to other industrialized nations.

Creating skilled workers for an economy that is constantly changing requires strategic investments and better education and workforce development programs, which must be coordinated and aligned with employers' needs.

While providing access to college should remain a high priority, the majority of jobs will continue to require more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year degree, making education beyond high school increasingly essential.

The following data is from: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/pittsburg-ca/

In Pittsburg, 36,395 are employed out of an adult labor force of 38,145. However, with a population of over 70,000, there is a need for more jobs locally, especially for teens and transitional aged youth who will find it more difficult to make a long commute. Of those adults employed:

 6,915 (19.0%) live and work in Pittsburg
 25,039 (68.8%) work elsewhere in Contra Costa
 4,440 (12.2%) work outside of Contra Costa
 1,017 (3.2%) (of all workers) work at home

The largest industries in Pittsburg are Health Care & Social Assistance (5,608 people), Retail Trade (3,509 people), and Administrative & Support & Waste Management Services (2,872 people).

127

City of Pittsburg Youth Services Collaborative Strategy

The highest paying industries are Utilities ($73,301), Mining, Quarrying, & Oil & Gas Extraction ($70,313), and Professional, Scientific, & Technical Services ($61,639). Read more at: http://www.city-data.com/work/work- Pittsburg-California.html

Possible solutions would include increasing employment-focused skills training opportunities for underserved populations in local high-demand occupations and industries. This would be more beneficial than providing training in occupations that would require a longer commute for employment.

Programs that train at risk youth, reentry, and homeless populations in local industries will provide increased access to job opportunities close to home, thereby strengthening both the community and the local economy.

In addition, creating incentives and opportunities for business expansion and small business start-ups would increase the number of local jobs available to the local workforce, create supply chain companies, develop more qualified local contractors and subcontractors and help to revitalize the local economy .

Conceptual Framework for Community and Human Capital Development Strategy(Emerald HPC International, LLC as presentation to the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative Ad Hoc Community in May 2018)

Another barrier to economic mobility in Pittsburg and East Contra Costa is transportation.

Low-income minorities on average spend more time traveling to work and other daily destinations than do low- income whites because they have fewer private vehicles and use public transit and car pools more frequently.

In Pittsburg, using averages, employees have a longer commute time (41.3 minutes) than the normal US worker (25.1 minutes).

Additionally, 12% of the workforce in Pittsburg have "super commutes" in excess of 90 minutes. In 2017, the most common category of travel for workers in Contra Costa was Drove Alone, followed by those who Carpooled and those who rode Public Transportation.

Detailed information can be found at: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/contra-costa-county-ca https://datausa.io/profile/geo/pittsburg-ca/
Many Contra Costa youth don’t drive and have parents that work distances away from Contra Costa, leaving few options for youth to travel to work and class during the day. The lack of a strong public transit system is a barrier for adults without a car as well, particularly those wishing to find employment out of town.

Possible solutions would include things such as: pushing for more frequent buses to schools, colleges, etc. and increasing employment and training opportunities closer to home.

Affordable childcare for working mothers and parents living under the poverty line is another barrier to economic mobility.

The following data is from:
https://uwba.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ContraCosta-Snapshot.pdf https://datausa.io/profile/geo/pittsburg-ca/

In Pittsburg, 13.6% of the population (9,800 out of 72,000 people) live below the poverty line. The largest demographic living in poverty are females: ages 35 - 44, followed by males: ages 6 – 11, and then females: ages 25 - 34.

According to the California Self-Sufficiency System (SSS), 61% of single mothers in Contra Costa County are living below the minimum standard for self-sufficiency.

Possible solutions would include a program for affordable or free childcare for working mothers/caregivers that are struggling with poverty. A service such as this can help alleviate the financial burden of childcare on the already struggling mother and by proxy help their children grow up in an environment where they have access to the necessities required for success.

Another factor related to economic mobility is homelessness.

In Contra Costa County on January 25, 2017 ( https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/PIT-report-2017.pdf ):
there were 1,607 persons experiencing homelessness; 57% of them were unsheltered. The population included 381 with Substance Use Disorder, 368 with a Mental Health Disability, 331 Chronically Homeless, 224 Victims of Domestic Violence, 99 Veterans. Among those counted were 84 families and 160 minors.

In Contra Costa County on January 23, 2018 ( https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/PIT-report-2018.pdf ):

There were 627 more individuals experiencing homelessness than the previous year's count of 1,607.

This increase reflects a similar growth in homeless populations over recent years in California and across the Bay Area. Rising rents and scarcity of affordable housing contribute greatly to the housing crisis resulting in more persons seeking homeless-related services.

The number of persons accessing homeless services last year in Contra Costa increased by 13%. Within the homeless population of Contra Costa County in 2018 there were 89 families living with children. In Contra Costa County from 2017 to 2018 there was a 39% increase in individuals identified as homeless

Possible solutions would include, first of all, a survey of the homeless population in Pittsburg. Exploring the prospect of alternative housing of any sort would be beneficial here for both youth and adults - anything from a regular home to repurposed RV’s or shipping containers, tiny homes etc. could help.

Also, measures to prevent homelessness in at risk communities, such as programs for subsidized housing, childcare, drug rehab, therapy for veterans etc., could help by addressing the root causes of homelessness before it happens for many.

Student Engagement
Youth engagement in the educational process, particularly as it impacts career/college preparation, is probably the single most important issue facing the city of Pittsburg.

As previously stated in the section on the Social Determinants of Health:

There are predictable outcomes related to youth who become disengaged because of family, school, and neighborhood disparities. Because they are in developmental transition, adolescents and young adults are particularly sensitive to environmental influences, such as family, peer group, school, neighborhood, policies, and societal cues.

These factors can affect the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional foundation for the lifelong health, learning, and wellbeing of youth and can lead to smoking, alcohol and drug use, and risky sexual behavior, as well as health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, sexually transmitted diseases, and attempted suicide.

Addressing young people’s positive development facilitates their adoption of healthy behaviors and helps to ensure a healthy and productive future adult population. Therefore, it is important to emphasize a focus on health and education indicators for children and adolescents when discussing youth development strategies because youth are our economic, workforce and education pipeline for regional economic stability, and their health and wellbeing is a predictor of future community health and prosperity.

Considering the factors above, it is important to review the current stats related to Pittsburg and Contra Costa youth.

For comparison purposes, we will start with Contra Costa data related to School Connectedness, Community Connectedness, and Emotional/Mental Health. We will then follow with similar and additional data related to the Pittsburg Uniﬁed School District (PUSD).

California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), 2016-17

Pittsburg

The following data is from the most recent California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), 2016-17, for the Pittsburg Uniﬁed School District (PUSD).

We have provided in this document the most relevant tables. The link to the full report is provided below:
https://data.calschls.org/resources/Pittsburg_Unified_1617_Sec_CHKS.pdf

The report is prepared annually by WestEd, a research, development, and service agency, in collaboration with Duerr Evaluation Resources, under contract from the California Department of Education Coordinated School Health and Safety Ofﬁce. The youth survey modules consist of key questions, identified by an expert advisory committee, that are considered most important for schools to guide improvement of academic, health, and prevention programs and promote student achievement, college and career readiness, positive development, and well-being. Student identities are protected.

Mental and Physical Health Risks

Current Alcohol or Drug Use:
14% of 7th graders; 13% of 9th graders, and 20% of 11th graders reported current alchohol or drug use.

Ate Breakfast
42% of 7th graders; 47% of 9th graders, 41% of 11th graders, and 63% of continuation, community day, and other alternative school students reported not eating breakfast on school days.

Experienced Chronic Sadness/Hopelessness:
30% of 7th graders; 30% of 9th graders, and 31% of 11th graders said they had recently experienced sadness or hopelessness.

Suspensions, Expulsions, and Chronic Absenteeism
In addition to the California Healthy Kids Survey, we looked at data from the California Department of Education: www.caschooldashboard.org.

Looking at data pulled from the California Department of Education California School Dashboard for the 2017-2018 school year, Pittsburg Unified School District had:
• A 90.8% graduation rate (increased by 3.8% from the last year) • A 49.3% college/career preparation rate (increased by 23.3% from the last year)

However, the district also had:
• A 7.7% suspension rate (increased by .5% from the last year) • A 11.4% chronic absenteeism rate (increased by 1.4% from the last year)

A deeper dive into California Department of Education data indicates that the suspension rate of 7.7% is higher than both the county average of 4.1% and statewide average of 3.5%. Of the students suspended, African Americans have the highest suspension rate at 16.7%. Hispanic students made up 63.5% of the student population and accounted for 48.2% of suspensions. African American students made up only

17.1% of the student population but accounted for 37.3% of total suspensions.

In addition, the district had a 0.06% expulsion rate. This is higher than the county average of 0.04% but lower than the statewide average of 0.08%. Of the 7 students expelled 3 were black/African American, 3 were Hispanic/Latino and 1 was Filipino.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education:

141
City of Pittsburg Youth Services Collaborative Strategy

© 2019 Emerald HPC International, LLC High Performing Communities Framework ™ (HPC) 23 “Suspension and expulsion can influence a number of adverse outcomes across development, health, and education. Young students who are expelled or suspended are as much as 10 times more likely to drop out of high school, experience academic failure and grade retention, hold negative school attitudes, and face incarceration than those who are not. Not only do these practices have the potential to hinder social-emotional and behavioral development, they also remove children from early learning environments and the corresponding cognitively enriching experiences that contribute to healthy development and academic success later in life.“

“Expulsion and suspension practices may also delay or interfere with the process of identifying and addressing underlying issues, which may include disabilities or mental health issues. Some of these children may have undiagnosed disabilities or behavioral health issues and may be eligible for additional services, but in simply being expelled, they may not receive the evaluations or referrals they need to obtain services. For example, the source of challenging behavior may be communication and language difficulties, skills that can be improved through early assessment and intervention services. In these cases, appropriate evaluation and follow-up services are critical, but less likely if the child is expelled from the system.”

“Finally, expulsions may contribute to increased family stress and burden. Even where assistance is offered, often there is a lapse in service which leaves families, especially working families, in difficult situations.”
– U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Education, Policy Statement on Expulsion and Suspension Policies in Early Childhood Settings (Dec. 10, 2014)

Statistics related to suspensions and expulsions with a focus on the “defiance” disciplinary code is included for two reasons. The first is that it shows a huge population disparity related to children and adolescents of color. The second is that as mentioned above, suspensions and expulsions can lead to academic failure, dropouts, and prison; all of which have impact on social determinants related to the health of children and adolescents whose negative affects follow them into adulthood.

Further, as stated by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder:
“We’ve seen that severe discipline policies often increase the numbers of suspensions and expulsions without effectively making schools safer or creating better learning environments.

And we’ve seen that the impacts of exclusionary policies are not felt equally in every segment of the population – with students of color and those with disabilities often receiving different and more severe punishments than their peers.”
– Eric Holder, now former U.S. Attorney General: Remarks at the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education School Discipline Guidance Rollout at Frederick Douglass High School in Baltimore, Maryland (Jan. 8, 2014)

Moreover, according to the National Education Association:
“A suspension can be life altering. It is the number-one predictor – more than poverty – of whether children will drop out of school and walk down a road that includes a greater likelihood of unemployment, reliance on social-welfare programs, and imprisonment.” – The School-to-Prison Pipeline: Time to Shut It Down, NEA Today (Jan. 5, 2015)

“Far too many of our most vulnerable students are excluded from class for minor, non-violent behavior, which puts them at great risk for academic failure, dropping out, and an unnecessary journey down the school to prison pipeline.”
Dennis Van Roekel, former President, Let's Stop the School-to-Prison Pipeline (Mar. 13, 2014)

III. INITIATIVE FOCUS AND COLLABORATIVE STRATEGY BASED

ON FACT-BASED INDICATORS
We have identified above the key indicators underlying critical issues that can inform an initiative focus and outcome-based strategy or set of strategies to impact priority issues facing the city.

This conceptual framework can help guide a facilitated collaborative process to oversee and implement the desired strategies and to measure outcomes.

This framework can also help guide policy related to youth services funding that aligns with agreed-upon partner goals and provides long-term financial stability to encourage and enhance system cohesion, inter- locking partner roles, service integration, community trust and support, and advocacy for targeted youth and families.

Next Steps
Determine Initiative Focus and Outcome-Based Strategy
The immediate next step in this process is for the City of Pittsburg to review the data and the identified indicators underlying critical issues of concern and decide on an initiative focus and outcome-based strategy or set of strategies that will impact particular priority issues facing the city.

Determine Initiative Goals and Outcome Measures
Determining goals and projected outcomes for the initiative and how they will be measured will be an important consideration in designing an initiative focus and strategies.

For example, based on the indicators described above, projected outcomes of an initiative could include one or more of the following sample measures:

 Improvement in key health and education indicators for youth and young adults  Training opportunities and variety of training options are increased and result in an increase in local employment in areas of labor leakage
 Crime stats show a significant reduction in violent and property crimes because of an increase in employment and community revitalization projects
 Social capital and collaboration are significantly increased and evidenced by the establishment of and participation in local community organizations and efforts

Determine Initiative Partners and Stakeholders
Depending on the initiative focus and key strategies that the City of Pittsburg decides to utilize in order to impact particular indicators, the appropriate stakeholders and collaborative partners would need to be identified through conversation with the planning team. Therefore, we are not listing particular individuals in this document.

Collaborative vs. Collective
We emphasize the collaborative approach because it allows for concerted and intentional engagement, the creation of interlocking roles for sustainability, and shared accountability for outcomes that have been mutually agreed upon. Having these interlocking roles and mutual accountability memorialized in writing will create a basis for strategy implementation and support the success of the initiative.

143
City of Pittsburg Youth Services Collaborative Strategy

Emerald frequently uses the charts below to emphasize why we suggest Collaborative vs Collective project engagement.

IV. Final Thoughts
To create a plan that carries a shared vision and common ground through an interactive process, your team must absolutely, completely, and stubbornly avoid “habitus.” Habitus is public enemy #1 in any planning process.

Habitus is the compilation/field of behaviors, history, beliefs, attitudes, and practices that support the continuation, maintenance and empowerment of biased thinking surrounding a problem or issue.

Habitus acts as a strong catalyst for resistance to change.

In other words, it is the stuff that fuels silos, irrational fears, prejudice, exclusion, inflexibility, and negative competition.

However, fact-finding as a key element of the planning process helps reduce the power of habitus.

Fact-finding helps fight habitus and fuels a credible strategy and approach that will draw support, gain wider acceptance, spark excitement, and get results.

Pittsburg has an opportunity to change health, education, and economic outcomes in for all residents, including English learners, people living in poverty and low wage work, youth who are disengaged, homeless people, formerly incarcerated people, people of color, veterans, residents commuting long hours, and recent immigrants.

It’s totally possible with the right strategy.

To do so would be amazing and have a transformative impact on the city of Pittsburg and the region. 144

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution for Consideration to Hire a CalPERS Retired Annuitant in Accordance with Government Code Sections 7522.56, 21221(h) and 21224
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The intent of this report is to provide City Council with sufficient information to approve the Resolution appointing Alice Evenson as a retired annuitant to provide transitional, extra-help support and waiving the 180-day waiting period.

FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the cost could be up to $75,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year. This expense will be covered by salary savings from departmental vacancies. This action does not result in any additional cost to the City.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council appoint Alice Evenson as a retired annuitant to work on an extra help basis performing the duties of an expert consultant in support of the City Clerk’s Office and waive the CalPERS 180-day waiting period.

BACKGROUND
Alice Evenson, Director of Records and Council Services intends to retire effective December 29, 2022. Ms. Evenson has offered to be appointed as a retired annuitant, on an extra help basis, so that operations can continue to move seamlessly, effectuating a smooth transition of duties for the new Director while ensuring systems and processes remain in compliance. Ms. Evenson will remain in her role as the City’s elected City Clerk.

145
CalPERS allows for retired annuitants to work for a CalPERS employer in an extra help appointment to a vacant position. The allowable circumstances are as follows:
• The appointment must be for a limited duration;
• The hourly pay rate cannot be less than the minimum or exceed the maximum listed in the employer’s publicly available pay schedule (base pay only); • No benefits, incentives, compensation in lieu of benefits, or other forms of compensation can be paid;
• The hours of work are restricted to 960 in a fiscal year; • Unemployment Insurance payments cannot have been received for prior retired annuitant work.

CalPERS has a 180-Day Waiting Period Requirement (Government Code 7522.56 & 21224) for retired annuitants following their retirement date, during which they cannot be employed with a CalPERS employer. There is an exception to the 180-Day waiting period when the employer certifies the nature of the employment, and that the appointment is necessary to fill a critically needed position sooner than 180 days. In that event the appointment must be approved by the employer’s governing body, in a public meeting, as an action item. This section applies to Ms. Evenson’s retirement and appointment as a retired annuitant due to the technical skills and knowledge needed to transition the scope of responsibilities during this period.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Alice Evenson, Director of Records and Council Services with over 25 years of institutional knowledge, has been integral to City Clerk operations, serving as an executive leader as well as elected City Clerk since 2006.

Ms. Evenson has met normal retirement age. As such, CalPERS regulations requiring a bona fide separation in employment and a 60-day waiting period before appointment is not applicable here.

Ms. Evenson will work as an Extra Help - Expert Consultant with the City Clerk’s Office to transition Director of Records and Council Services duties such as maintaining the City's legislative history and providing assistance to the public, other city departments and outside agencies, effective January 9, 2023. In this role, Ms. Evenson will transition the custodian of official City records and coordination of municipal elections. Additionally, Ms. Evenson will assist in the preparation of legislative agendas and minutes and process public hearing notices and ensure an action plan for on-going compliance with the Political Reform Act, Brown Act, Public Records Act, Maddy Act, and Conflict of Interest Codes. Ms. Evenson will transition duties as Secretary to the Successor Agency for the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg, Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg, Pittsburg Southwest GHAD II, Pittsburg Power Company and other so designated agencies of the City of Pittsburg. 146
It is anticipated this assignment may last through the remainder of the fiscal year to appropriately transition roles and responsibilities.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute an Agreement with Local Edition Creative for Citywide Art Planning and Mural Installation Services
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Pittsburg and Local Edition Creative (“Consultant”) are proposing to enter into an agreement whereby Consultant shall coordinate the installation of five murals throughout the City, installation of a sculpture for a 6 to 8-month duration, project management services, and assist the City with the creation of a strategic art program.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is requesting the City Council allocate $200,000 of General Fund surplus monies to cover the cost of the contract, as well as to provide contingency to allow the City Manager to work with the Consultant and subcommittee(s) to identify additional mural locations, as well as to develop an immersive art installation.

RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execution an agreement with Local Edition Creative for public art installations.

BACKGROUND
On May 9, 2022, the City Council held a budget workshop, during which the City Council discussed use of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, General Fund surplus funds, and Measure M surplus funds, establishing a general list of projects and programs and preliminarily allocating funding for each. During this meeting, $250,000 was identified as a potential amount to dedicate to public art installations. 153
Local Edition Creative was selected for their extensive experience designing public art installations, most recently developing the Creative Concord initiative for the City of Concord, which included installation of multiple murals, public art events, and a dedicated website showcasing artists and events (www.creativeconcordca.com).

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was first presented to the Economic Development Subcommittee on August 17, 2021. During this meeting, the Subcommittee received a presentation on the importance of public art and discussed designing public art experiences around City events in order to celebrate the City and draw residents and visitors. The Subcommittee was supportive of staff continuing to explore hiring of a consultant to assist with the implementation of an art initiative.

This item was again brought before the Subcommittee on September 26, 2022. During this meeting, staff presented a proposed scope of work submitted by the Consultant, which included five prospective locations for murals downtown. The Subcommittee was supportive of bringing the item before the City Council. Councilmember Killings did further voice concern over limiting the murals to the Downtown area, requesting staff look at other City gateways and locations. Staff has incorporated this request into the proposed workplan.

STAFF ANALYSIS
As mentioned above, staff is recommending the City hire Local Edition Creative due to their experience, track record of working with local artists, and project management capabilities.

As part of the base contract, the Consultant would facilitate the installation of one small- scale mural, three medium-scale murals, one large-scale mural, one sculpture installation for a period of 6 to 8 months, and project management services, including curation.

Pursuant to the proposed agreement, the locations of all murals shall be approved by the City in advance of installation, the Consultant shall provide preference in artist selection to current or former Pittsburg residents, and the City shall approve all artists and murals in advance of installation.

The proposed contract, which is inclusive of the services noted above, contains a not-to- exceed amount of $147,500. Staff has requested the City Council allocate a total of $200,000 in order to allow staff and the consultant to execute amendments to the contract within the approved amount, which would potentially facilitate additional murals and/or an immersive art installation.

TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing the Division of Boating and Waterways Funding Requests and Agreements
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State of California State Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) maintains and administers several grant and loan programs designed to improve and safeguard the boating experience for all users. DBW funding applications require a City Council Resolution for the City to be eligible to apply for and receive funding.

FISCAL IMPACT
This Resolution has no impact on the General Fund and may provide relief for the Marina and Waterfront Funds. Approval of this Resolution will provide the City of Pittsburg with an opportunity to apply for grants that fund projects from pump out station repair (less than $5,000) to boating infrastructure improvements (up to $1.5 million).

RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt the Resolution authorizing the City to apply for and if awarded, accept DBW grant funds, and the City Manager to execute Grant Agreements between the City of Pittsburg and the DBW.

BACKGROUND
The DBW’s mission is to provide safe and convenient public access to California’s waterways. The DBW fulfills this mission in part through its Local Assistance Loan and Grant Programs. The Local Assistance Loan and Grant Programs assist cities, counties, districts, other governmental agencies, marinas, and port districts, in the development and improvement of marinas and boat launching facilities.
171
While the Local Assistance Loan Program has been temporarily halted, some programs of interest to the Pittsburg Marina and Waterfront Divisions as well as Pittsburg Police Department include Boat Launching Facility, Ramp Repair and Modification, Vessel Pump- out Station, Surrender and Abandoned Vessel Exchange, Public Beach Restoration, and more. DBW funding applications require a City Council Resolution for the City to be eligible to apply for and receive funding.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
On September 26, 2022, the Economic Development/Waterfront Subcommittee encouraged development of a Marina Preventative Maintenance Plan that includes exploration of project funding sources like DBW grants.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The City has participated in DBW grant programs before. In Fiscal Year 1978/79, the City received a DBW grant of $150,000 to extend the existing launch ramp, relocate the floats and docks to accommodate the longer ramp, and build restroom facilities. In Fiscal Year 1990/91, another DBW grant of $518,000 was used to replace the launch ramp, boarding floats, and bulkhead wall on the west side of the launch basin, add riprap to the east side of the launch ramp, and add landscaping and irrigation.

As presented to the Economic Development and Waterfront Subcommittee on September 26, 2022, the Pittsburg Marina and waterfront have several unfunded maintenance projects potentially eligible for these programs including boater restrooms, ramps, pump-out stations, docks, sheds, and more. Securing funds for which the City is eligible over the next five years to undertake these projects compliment current revitalization efforts in the area and expands the character of the City’s downtown core, a priority outlined in the City’s General Plan and Trust Lands Use Plan.

SUBJECT: Receive and File the Treasurer’s Report for the Quarter Ending September 30, 2022
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Attached is the Treasurer’s Report for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022. The report includes the combined detailed information of the City and the Successor Agency’s (Agency) investments, which are compliant with the City’s and Agency’s Investment Policies.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s expenditure requirements for the next six months are covered by anticipated revenues from City operations and liquidity from maturing investments. The difference between market value and cost as of September 30, 2022, will be reflected in the City’s financial statements for Fiscal Year 2022-23 as an adjustment to interest income for each of the City’s funds on a pro rata basis as required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 31. Due to the recent rise in interest rates available in the capital markets, value for existing holdings have fallen on paper and will not be realized. This drop in value had increased as inflationary pressure have continued to move rates higher. Market values change on a daily basis. The change in market value is considered temporary in nature, as the City mostly holds its investments until maturity, when they can be redeemed at par value.

RECOMMENDATION
City Council accept the Treasurer’s Report for the quarter ending September 30, 2022, for information purposes only.

BACKGROUND
Each fiscal quarter, an Investment Summary Report is required to be provided, by policy, to the City Council for review.
174

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not reviewed by a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The City’s objectives in order of priority, are to provide safety, ensure the preservation of capital, provide sufficient liquidity for cash needs and earn a competitive rate of return (yield) within the confines of the California Government Code and the Investment Policy. Chandler Asset Management is responsible for managing investments in accordance with the City’s investment policy. All portfolio holdings were held with investment grade securities.

The advisor-managed funds are comprised of operating funds managed in a Core Portfolio account, as well as several Non-Successor Agency bond-related funds. The City’s advisor works to achieve the City’s objectives by investing in high quality fixed income securities consistent with the City’s investment policy and California Government Code.

The Core Portfolio represents the City’s cash reserves. Its return objective is to enhance both interest income and principal value as measured by total return. Total return reflects the value added to the portfolio for a period of time from interest income, realized gains and losses, as well as unrealized gains and losses. The portfolio’s total return for the quarter was -1.17%, comparing to the City performance benchmark of -1.56%, the Intercontinental Exchange Bank of America Merrill Lynch (ICE BAML) 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury/Agency Index.

Since inception (7/31/2018), the portfolio’s total return through quarter end is 0.95%, which slightly overperformed the benchmark return of 0.72% for the same period. Total returns for the quarter and since inception reflect fluctuations in market value. 175
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 31 requires the City to recognize the fair market value of its investments at the end of each fiscal year. The market values of investments included in this report were obtained from the State Controller’s office for Local Agency Investment Funds (LAIF), and from the City’s registered investment advisor and bond trustees for longer-term investments.

Attached is the Chandler Asset Management (CAM) Investment Report detailing an economic update, account profile and investment activity for the quarter ending September 30, 2022.

Economic Update



Market volatility has intensified as financial conditions tighten and global central banks pursue monetary policies to combat persistently high inflation and maintain financial market stability. Labor markets and consumer balance sheets remain strong; however, inflation is weighing heavily on consumer sentiment and beginning to impact discretionary spending.

Corporate earnings have generally performed better than expected, but warnings are growing along with wider credit spreads. While evidence of slower economic conditions has begun to mount, we expect the Federal Reserve to continue to raise rates until a sustainable improvement in inflationary conditions has been achieved. Over the near-term, we expect financial market volatility to remain intensified and conditions tighter with persistent inflation, geopolitical risk, and the Fed's hawkish monetary policy.

At the September meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) delivered the third 75-basis point increase to the Fed Funds Rate, increasing the range to 3.00% to 3.25%. The FOMC acknowledged spending and production are experiencing modest growth, offset by a robust labor market and elevated inflation metrics. We expect the Fed to continue to increase the federal funds rate in the near term until inflationary pressures weaken.

In September, yields rose significantly across the curve. The 2-year Treasury yield increased 79 basis points to 4.28%, the 5- year Treasury yield rose 74 basis points to 4.09%, and the 10-year Treasury yield gained 64 basis points to 3.83%. The spread between the 2-year Treasury yield and 10-year Treasury yield became more inverted at -45 basis points at September month-end versus -30 basis points at August month-end. The spread was a positive 121 basis points one year ago. The spread between 3-month and 10-year treasuries widened to 56 basis points in September compared to just 27 basis points in August. The shape of the curve does not necessarily indicate an imminent recession but bears watching as a better predictor of recession over the medium-term.

The U.S. economy added 263,000jobs in September, surpassing market expectations of 255,000,and gains were revised upward by 11,000for the prior two months. Trends in employment remain strong, with the three-month moving average payrolls at 372,000and the six-month moving average at 360,000. Hiring was widespread, with solid increases in education and health services, leisure and hospitality, and professional and business services. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5% from 3.7%, as the labor participation rate edged down to 62.3% in September from 62.4% in August. The U-6 underemployment rate, which includes those who are marginally attached to the labor force and employed part time for economic reasons dropped to 6.7% from 7.0% last month. Average hourly earnings rose 5.0% year-over-year in September compared to 5.2% year-over-year in August, a constructive development for the inflation outlook. The strong September labor report bolsters the case for the Fed to continue raising the federal funds rate. -200

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased more than expected in September, up 8.2% year-over-year versus consensus expectations for 8.1%, but down slightly from 8.3% in August. The Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components, jumped to 6.6% year-over-year, up from 6.3% in August and the highest level since 1982. The report included widespread increases, particularly in food, shelter, and medical care services. Owners’ equivalent rent, which is a major contributor to CPI and tends to lag, was up 6.7% year-over-year. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index rose 6.2% in August, higher than consensus estimates of up 6.0%, but down from a 6.4% increase last month. Core PCE was up 4.9% year-over-year in August, versus up 4.7% year-over-year in July. Persistently elevated inflation is likely to keep the Federal Reserve on the path of tightening monetary policy as long as it continues to run well above the Fed’s longer-run target of around

Advance retail sales were flat for the month but up 8.2% year-over-year in September, slowing from August’s 9.4% year-over-year gain that surprised to the upside. Retail sales growth is starting to reflect the headwinds from higher prices as consumers dip into savings and assume more debt. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index rose for the second month in a row to 108.0 in September, with gains in both the present situation and future expectations components. The strength was tied directly to the consumer's assessment of the labor market, which continues to reflect the demand for labor outstripping supply.

7.7% reflecting a shift from single-family units to more affordable multi-family units as homebuyers struggle with a combination of elevated prices and higher mortgage rates.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing index plunged nearly two points to 50.9 in September, the lowest since May 2020 and disappointing relative to consensus expectations of 52.0. Readings above 50.0 are indicative of expansion in the manufacturing sector.

New orders declined significantly, reflecting lower demand for goods as consumers shift to spending on services. Total industrial production rose 0.4% in September after a small upward revision to -0.1% in August. Gains were broad-based including both durable and non-durable goods. Capacity utilization increased to 80.3% in September after a minimal upward revision to 80.1%in August and continues to run slightly above the 1972-2021 average of 79.6%.

According to the third estimate, U.S. GDP was unrevised at -0.6% annualized in the second quarter. Personal consumption expenditures rose, primarily due to spending on services. The largest negative contribution was from a drop in gross residential investment as the housing sector diminished sharply. The second quarter decline followed a first quarter contraction of -1.6%. Although many market participants link two quarters in a row of negative GDP growth with a recession, an official declaration by the National Bureau of Economic Research is unlikely given the mosaic of data and the strength of the labor market. The consensus estimate calls for 1.9% growth in the third quarter and 1.7% growth for the full year 2022.

Federal Reserve
Source: Federal Reserve Source: Bloomberg
At the September meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) delivered the third 75-basis point increase to the Fed Funds Rate, increasing the range to 3.00% to 3.25%. The FOMC acknowledged spending and production are experiencing modest growth, offset by robust labor market and elevated inflation metrics. The FOMC remains data dependent to meet its long-term 2% inflation objective. The Fed also released new economic projections showing a significant slowdown in the economy later in 2022and 2023.The Fed has reduced its $9 trillion balance sheet holdings by $87.1 billion since the start of the program and will increase the rate of decrease to $95 billion a month in September. As inflation metrics begin to moderate, we believe the Federal Reserve will decelerate their pace of tightening, but a material decline in inflation in the short-term is unlikely.

Important Disclosures
2022 Chandler Asset Management, Inc, An Independent Registered Investment Adviser.

Information contained herein is confidential. Prices are provided by ICE Data Services Inc (“IDS”), an independent pricing source. In the event IDS does not provide a price or if the price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation policy and procedures . Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.

Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Temporarily Amend the Senior Executive Staffing Allocation
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Manager recommends temporarily amending the staffing allocation plan by adding one (1) Director of Special Projects.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated from the temporary staffing allocation increase as the cost will be absorbed within the current fiscal budget through salary savings.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to temporarily amend the City’s authorized allocated positions by adding one (1) Director of Special Projects at the salary rate of $17,843 monthly, through the end of Fiscal Year 2022/2023.

BACKGROUND
In order to provide sufficient time to recruit and select this critical, hard-to-fill role for the City, the City Manager requests an additional position allocation through the remainder of the fiscal year to recruit a qualified candidate and allow the current director to serve as the City Engineer and transition current programs and projects. Once a Director of Public Works is selected, it is proposed that the current director will be y-rated into the role of Director of Special Projects for a limited duration.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
223

STAFF ANALYSIS
The current Director of Public Works has provided notice of retirement effective June 30, 2023. The Director of Public Works plans, manages, oversees and directs the operations and services of the Public Works Department which includes the streets, traffic signals, water distribution, sewer collection, water treatment, stormwater facilities, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and equipment maintenance, parks, trees, park planning and coordinates activities with other City officials, departments, outside agencies and organizations.

The Director of Public Works also serves in the capacity as the City Engineer in possession of a valid certificate of registration as a Civil Engineer issued by the California State Board of Registration for Civil and Professional Engineers. The City Engineer provides technical input to project managers within the Public Works and Community and Economic Development Departments as well as provides stakeholder integration and senior-level leader engagement on complex technical issues. An additional senior executive level position is proposed to offer a seamless transition for this critical role until June 30, 2023.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Making Findings in Support of Continuing to Hold Public Subcommittee Meetings by Teleconference Pursuant to California Government Code Section 54953(e) MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361) amended the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under specified conditions. Findings must be made every 30 days.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund by this action.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council adopt the attached resolution, continue in-person meetings with the exception of subcommittee meetings which will remain virtual.

BACKGROUND
Beginning in March 2020, Governor Newsom issued a series of Executive Orders aimed at containing the novel coronavirus. Among these were Executive Orders—N-25-20 and N-29- 20 (collectively, the “Brown Act Orders”) — that waived requirements in the Brown Act expressly or impliedly requiring the physical presence of legislative body members, staff, or the public at local agency meetings.

On June 11, 2021, the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, to begin winding down some of the prior measures that were adopted to respond to COVID-19. Notably, N-08-21 established an end date to the Brown Act Orders, effective September 30, 2021. 227
On September 16, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361 which amended the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under specified conditions and so long as certain findings are made by a majority of the legislative body. As detailed in the attached resolution, findings were made on November 7, 2022, and are effective for 30 days.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not submitted to a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Local legislative bodies such as a city council that wish to continue meeting by teleconference must comply with the requirements of California Government Code Section 54953, which was amended by AB 361.

Specifically, newly amended Government Code Section 54953 requires the following procedures:
• Give notice and post agendas as otherwise required by the Brown Act; • List on the agenda how the public can electronically attend and comment at the meeting. Note that a public agency is not required to offer an in-person option for the public to attend and comment at such a meeting;
• Provide an opportunity to comment in advance of and during the meeting; • Allow a reasonable amount of time to register, if required, and comment on each agenda item or at least the amount of time allowed per agency meeting protocols, whichever is longer;
• No action may be taken during a disruption that inhibits the broadcast of the meeting or the public’s ability to comment;
• All votes must be via rollcall;
• Comply with state and federal civil rights and non-discrimination laws; and • Take all precautions to protect the statutory and constitutional rights of the public.

While it only applies in situations where the Governor has proclaimed a state of emergency, and not, for instance, when only a local health officer has declared an emergency, AB 361 provides an explicit avenue for local public agencies to meet remotely in the case of a public health, or other, emergency that inhibits the opportunity to meet in person. AB 361 provides the flexibility to meet by teleconference through December 31, 2023, unless extended.

The City Council resolution, if approved, would authorize teleconferenced meetings of subcommittees.

Making the findings would allow teleconferenced meetings for the next 30 days.

TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Authorize a Third Amendment to the Employment Agreement for the City Attorney
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On July 17, 2018, the City Council approved the appointment of Donna Mooney as City Attorney and authorized an employment agreement. On November 7, 2022, the City Council directed staff to bring to open session for consideration an amendment to the employment agreement to revise the agreement Terms, increase the salary by Five Percent (5%), effective July 10, 2022 and provide for salary increases based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and City Council approval.

FISCAL IMPACT
The employment agreement amendment will result in an approximate increased payroll cost of $10,000 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2022/2023, which will be absorbed into the department’s current allocated budget.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt of a City Council Resolution to Authorize a Third Amendment to the Employment Agreement for the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND
On July 17, 2018, the City Council approved the appointment of Donna Mooney as City Attorney and authorized the Mayor to negotiation and sign an employment agreement for Ms. Mooney on behalf of the City. The employment agreement required an annual merit- based performance evaluation process after the first year of employment with the City. 231
On September 8, 2019 the City Council adopted Resolution #19-13685 authorizing amendments to Ms. Mooney’s employment agreement to increase salary and extend the agreement term. On September 20, 2021 the City Council adopted Resolution #21-13992 authorizing amendments to Ms. Mooney’s employment agreement to increase salary, add Deferred Compensation and extend the agreement term to September 4, 2024.

On August 15, 2022, the City Council conducted a performance review of Ms. Mooney in closed session and provided authorization to the Mayor to negotiate with Ms. Mooney changes to her salary and benefits.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not submitted to a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS
It is the compensation philosophy of the City Council to provide competitive salary and benefits to retain our valued employees. A consulting firm retained by the City conducted a market-rate compensation survey of local City Attorney positions in Contra Costa County.

The consultant concluded that Pittsburg’s current City Attorney salary rate was approximately Six Percent (6%) below the average monthly salary of city attorneys of the comparative cities.

Subsequent to Ms. Mooney’s performance review in closed session with the City Council on August 15, 2022, the City Council provided authorization to the Mayor to negotiate with Ms.

Mooney changes to her salary and benefits, including a Five Percent (5%) merit increase, consistent with the survey information provided by the consultant.

Additionally, the Third Amendment includes an amendment to Section 5, Compensation as follows:

On September 4, 2022, and on each succeeding September 4th while this agreement is in effect, the City Attorney’s base salary shall be increased no greater than the San Francisco Bay Area Consumer Price Index, All Consumers and no less than Two Percent (2%). The City Council will determine the percentage of the annual cost of living adjustment. Should all bargaining groups in the City of Pittsburg not receive a salary increase during the fiscal year, the City Council may elect to not extend the cost of living adjustment in this Section.

The Mayor and Ms. Mooney agreed upon the amended terms of Ms. Mooney’s employment and the requisite employment agreement amendment was prepared.
