The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement jurisdictions to prepare and submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by September 30th of each year. The CAPER is a “report card” that documents how well the City met its goals during the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026 (Program Year) in helping low- to moderate- income residents of Pittsburg through various services and infrastructure improvements utilizing CDBG funds.
CONSIDERATION

The former $1 credit card convenience fee will be replaced with a fee not to exceed 3.75% of the transaction amount for credit card transactions and up to $2 for e-check payments. These changes will offset approximately $450,000 in annual merchant costs currently absorbed by the City.

8. Adoption of a City Council Resolution Amending the City’s Conflict of Interest Code
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act (Act), local governments are required to conduct a biennial review of its Conflict of Interest Code (Code) to determine accuracy. As part of this year’s biennial review, City staff has determined that the Code must be amended to reflect new, reclassified, and eliminated employee positions. Updating the Code will identify all of the designated positions that are required, by state law, to disclose financial interests.
9. Adoption of a City Council Resolution Accepting the Plans and Specifications and Awarding Project 4079 - Linscheid Drive Traffic Calming Phase II and Project 4088 - 2026/27 CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Installation
Project 4079 – Linscheid Drive Traffic Calming Phase II (Project 4079) consists of the installation of traffic calming improvements, including roundabouts, medians, striping, and pavement markings at the intersections of Linscheid Drive and Ramona Street and Manville Avenue and Madoline Street. Project 4088 – 2026/27 CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Installation (Project 4088) consists of the installation of an ADA-compliant curb ramp at the intersection of Mae Avenue and Ramona Street to improve accessibility and meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. To streamline project delivery and reduce overall administrative and construction costs, the two Projects were combined into a single construction contract for bidding and construction.
Adoption of this resolution will accept the Project plans and specifications and award a construction contract to Modernscapes Innovations for the construction of these combined Projects.
10. Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing the Acceptance and Appropriation of Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Funds for Critical Incident Response Training Equipment
The Pittsburg Police Department has been awarded $33,511 in Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funding to support the purchase of specialized scenario based training equipment. The Police Department is requesting City Council authorization to accept and appropriate the awarded grant funds and proceed with the purchase of the approved training equipment.
11. Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing Execution of the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Tanner Pacific, Inc. for Construction Management for Project 5067-Water Treatment Plant Filter Improvements and Hypochlorite Conversion Project
Project 5067-Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Filter Improvements and Hypochlorite Conversion (the “Project”) is paramount to the City’s ability to continue providing high-quality drinking water to residents. The Project includes installation of six new water filters, conversion of an existing gaseous
chlorine system to liquid hypochlorite (bleach), and upgrades to filter effluent pumping and underground WTP infrastructure. Due to the magnitude, complexity, and duration of the Project, continued construction management services are necessary to provide the technical expertise, staffing resources, and oversight required to successfully administer construction. The proposed First Amendment provides additional compensation for construction management services required as a result of this extended construction duration. The amendment will allow Tanner Pacific to continue providing the necessary construction inspection, contract administration, coordination, schedule and cost management, and technical support for the additional time required to complete the Project.
12. Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing Execution of the Third Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with West Yost and Associates for Design of Project 5067 Water Treatment Plant Filter Improvements and Hypochlorite Conversion
Project 5067 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Filter Improvements and Hypochlorite Conversion (Project) is paramount to the City’s ability to continue providing high-quality drinking water to residents. The Project includes installation of six new water filters, conversion of an existing gaseous chlorine system to liquid hypochlorite (bleach), and upgrades to filter effluent pumping and underground WTP infrastructure. West Yost and Associates (West Yost) has been providing engineering services during construction of the Project.
This Third Amendment will allow West Yost to continue to provide services such as submittal reviews, requests for information responses and design clarifications needed during the extended construction phase.
13. Adoption of a City Council Resolution Ratifying the Services Agreement with Mail Stream Corporation and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the First Amendment to the Services Agreement
In July 2022, the City of Pittsburg entered into a services agreement with Mail Stream Corporation ("Mail Stream") for utility bill printing and mailing services ("Agreement"). The Agreement included an initial two-year term, with three one-year options, which were exercised in June 2024 and 2025. The proposed First Amendment to the Agreement ("Amendment") would memorialize the exercise of the first two one-year options, and authorize exercising the final one-year option, extending the Agreement term through June 30, 2027, and establishing a total not-to-exceed amount of $868,122, inclusive of funds previously expended.

De acuerdo con la Ley de Reforma Política (Ley), los gobiernos locales están obligados a realizar una revisión bienal de su Código de Conflicto de Intereses (Código) para determinar su exactitud. Como parte de la revisión bienal de este año, el personal de la Ciudad ha determinado que el Código debe ser modificado para reflejar nuevas posiciones de empleados, reclasificadas y eliminadas.

9. Adopción de una resolución del Concejo Municipal que acepta los planos y especificaciones y otorga el Proyecto 4079 - Fase II de Calmado del Tráfico de Linscheid Drive y el Proyecto 4088 - 2026/27 CDBG Instalación de la Rampa de Banqueta ADA
Proyecto 4079 – Fase II de Calmado del Tráfico de Linscheid Drive (Proyecto 4079) consiste en la instalación de mejoras para calmar el tráfico, incluyendo glorietas, camellones, rayas y señalización en el pavimento en las intersecciones de Linscheid Drive y Ramona Street y Manville Avenue y Madoline Street. Proyecto 4088 – 2026/27 CDBG Instalación de Rampas de Banqueta ADA (Proyecto 4088) consiste en la instalación de una rampa de banqueta conforme a la ADA en la intersección de Mae Avenue y Ramona Street para mejorar la accesibilidad y cumplir con los requisitos actuales de la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA). Para agilizar la entrega de los proyectos y reducir los costos administrativos y de construcción generales, los dos proyectos se combinaron en un solo contrato de construcción para licitación y construcción.
La adopción de esta resolución aceptará los planes y especificaciones del proyecto y otorgará un contrato de construcción a Modernscapes Innovations para la construcción de estos proyectos combinados.

Proyecto 5067 - Mejoras en el filtro de la planta de tratamiento de agua (WTP) y la conversión de hipoclorito (el "Proyecto") es fundamental para la capacidad de la ciudad de continuar proveyendo agua potable de alta calidad a los residentes. El proyecto incluye la instalación de seis nuevos filtros de agua, la conversión de un sistema existente de cloro gaseoso a hipoclorito líquido (cloro) y mejoras en el bombeo de filtros de efluentes y la infraestructura subterránea de WTP. Debido a la magnitud, complejidad y duración del Proyecto, los servicios continuos de gestión de construcción son necesarios para proporcionar la experiencia técnica, los recursos de personal y la supervisión necesarios para administrar exitosamente la construcción. La propuesta de la Primera Enmienda otorga compensación adicional por los servicios de gestión de construcción requeridos como resultado de esta prolongada duración de la construcción. La enmienda permitirá que Tanner Pacific continúe proporcionando la inspección de construcción necesaria, administración de contratos, coordinación, gestión de cronogramas y costos, y soporte técnico durante el tiempo adicional requerido para completar el Proyecto.
12. Adopción de una resolución del Concejo Municipal que autoriza la ejecución de la Tercera Enmienda al Acuerdo de Servicios de Consultoría con West Yost and Associates para el diseño del Proyecto 5067 Mejoras en el filtro de la planta de tratamiento de agua y conversión a hipoclorito
Las mejoras en el filtro de la Planta de Tratamiento de Agua (WTP) del Proyecto 5067 y la Conversión de Hipoclorito (Proyecto) son fundamentales para la capacidad de la Ciudad de continuar proveyendo agua potable de alta calidad a los residentes. El proyecto incluye la instalación de seis nuevos filtros de agua, la conversión de un sistema existente de cloro gaseoso a hipoclorito líquido (cloro) y mejoras en el bombeo de filtros de efluentes y la infraestructura subterránea de WTP. West Yost and Associates (West Yost) ha estado brindando servicios de ingeniería durante la construcción del proyecto. Esta Tercera Enmienda permitirá a West Yost continuar brindando servicios como revisiones de presentaciones, solicitudes de respuestas informativas y aclaraciones de diseño necesarias durante la fase extendida de construcción.
13. Adopción de una resolución del Concejo Municipal que ratifica el Acuerdo de Servicios con Mail Stream Corporation y autoriza al Administrador de la Ciudad a ejecutar la Primera Enmienda al Acuerdo de Servicios
En julio de 2022, la Ciudad de Pittsburg entro en un contrato de servicios con Mail Stream Corporation ("Mail Stream") para servicios de impresión y envío postal de facturas de servicios públicos (el "Contrato"). El Contrato incluía un plazo inicial de dos años, con tres opciones de prórroga de un año cada una, las cuales se ejercieron en junio de 2024 y 2025.

TO: Chair and Governing Board Members
FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ Executive Director
John Funderburg, Assistant Director Community and

Ishani Rasanayagam, Administartive Analyst II
SUBJECT: Adopt a Motion Authorizing the Executive Director to Execute a Subordination Agreement with Village of Hope Pittsburg LLC and Related Parties for the 15-unit Transitional Age Youth Housing Project Located at 5305 Kirker Pass Road
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On July 20, 2026, the Housing Authority approved a $500,000 forgivable loan to Village of Hope Pittsburg LLC ("Village of Hope") to support the construction of a 15-unit Transitional Age Youth (TAY) housing project at 5305 Kirker Pass Road. Contra Costa County is providing additional financing for the project in an amount greater than the Housing Authority's $500,000 loan and has requested that the Housing Authority subordinate its interest in the property to the County's loan. Approval of the Subordination Agreement will allow the County's financing to move forward while maintaining the Housing Authority's existing loan and regulatory requirements, subject to the terms of the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
Execution of the Subordination Agreement alone does not have any impact on the General Fund or Housing Successor Agency Fund.
The $500,000 forgivable loan approved by the Housing Authority on July 20, 2026, ("HA Loan") will be provided by Housing Successor Agency fund balance, overseen by the Housing Authority. Subordination of the HA Loan to the County loan does mean the Housing Authority would be placed in a lower priority for repayment and the County would be repaid in full prior to the Housing Authority receiving any repayment if Village
of Hope goes bankrupt or faces foreclosure. However, it does not alter the normal payment terms of HA Loan Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a motion authorizing the Executive Director to execute the Subordination Agreement with Village of Hope Pittsburg LLC and related parties for the 15-unit Transitional Age Youth (TAY) housing project located at 5305 Kirker Pass Road.
BACKGROUND
The City of Pittsburg actively seeks out community development opportunities to revitalize neighborhoods and develop viable urban communities by expanding decent, safe, and affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households.
These initiatives are designed to foster stable living environments and ensure that municipal resources are strategically deployed to support project feasibility for underserved populations.
To address this gap, the developer, Village of Hope Pittsburg, LLC entered into a long- term ground lease with the Pittsburg Church of the Nazarene to utilize approximately
0.8 acres of vacant land situated along the western side of the parcel at 5305 Kirker Pass Road. While the property contribution secures the site footprint, upfront municipal infrastructure and regulatory costs present significant barriers to breaking ground. To overcome these initial capital hurdles associated with local development fees and to enable the successful build-out of a targeted, service-enriched micro-housing community, Hope Solutions requested financial assistance from multiple organizations and public agencies.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The forgivable loan was discussed at the Life Enrichment Subcommittee meeting on May 15, 2024, and approved by the Housing Authority Board on July 20, 2026. Loan subordination was not discussed, as the County had not informed the City or Village of Hope of the request until after Housing Authority Board approval.
STAFF ANALYSIS
This project represents a collaborative effort to address youth homelessness by establishing a 15-unit home community dedicated to Transition Age Youth (TAY) ages 18 to 24. Developed by Village of Hope Pittsburg, LLC and managed by Hope Solutions, the project is the construction of affordable housing paired with mandatory onsite wraparound supportive services, such as case management and mental health support, to help unhoused or at-risk young adults transition into independent living. The project has received all necessary land use entitlements and is currently applying for construction permits. The HA Loan itself is accompanied by a Tri-Party Agreement negotiated between the Housing Authority, Village of Hope Pittsburg LLC, and the
Pittsburg Church of the Nazarene that ensures the HA’s $500,000 loan remains securely tied to the land regardless of any future lease disruptions. Further, the $500,000 forgivable loan has covered the developer's City engineering and building permit fees, meaning the City has already experienced significant benefit from the loan, which may be forgiven regardless.
As mentioned above, the Subordination Agreement establishes the priority of repayment in the event of default, and the County Loan would receive priority for repayment relative to the HA Loan. This is a common practice when multiple organizations fund a project, and as the County is providing a larger amount of financing, it is requesting that its loan have priority over the HA Loan and related security interest in the property. This does not mean the Housing Authority would not be repaid in the event of default, but would not be repaid until other debts have been fully settled, and may result in partial or no payment.
Approval of the Subordination Agreement will allow the County's additional financing to move forward and support the construction of the TAY housing project. The Housing Authority's previously approved loan and related requirements will remain in effect pursuant to the applicable loan documents.
The staff report and resolution approved on July 20, 2026, are attached for additional information regarding the project, the $500,000 forgivable loan, and the associated loan documents.

Documents with Village of Hope Pittsburg LLC to Support the Construction of Transitional Age Youth (TAY) Housing at 5305 Kirker Pass Road
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Village of Hope Pittsburg, LLC, a subsidiary of Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc., operating as "Hope Solutions," has received entitlements to construct a 15-unit transition-age youth (TAY) housing project on property owned by Church of the Nazarene, located at 5305 Kirker Pass Road (APN: 089-060-009). To assist with the construction of this affordable housing development, the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg ("Housing Authority") proposes to provide a loan in an amount not to exceed $500,000. The loan proposes to carry a 0% interest rate over a 20-year term, and may be forgiven in two equal tranches on the 10th and 20th anniversaries of loan disbursement, contingent upon the developer maintaining compliance and continuing to operate the project as a dedicated youth housing facility. The loan would be funded by Housing Successor Agency funds, and would cover municipal development fees. Staff is also requesting Housing Authority approval of a corresponding budget amendment allocating and appropriating $500,000 in Housing Successor Agency funds, to be encumbered concurrently with execution of the loan documents.
FISCAL IMPACT
The $500,000 forgivable loan will be provided by Housing Successor Agency fund
balance, overseen by the Housing Authority. To facilitate the loan, a corresponding budget amendment allocating and appropriating $500,000 of Housing Successor Agency funds is also requested, to be encumbered concurrently with execution of the loan documents. Sufficient fund balance exists within the Housing Successor Agency to accommodate this appropriation without impact to other planned Housing Successor Agency activities.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution amending the Housing Authority budget to allocate and appropriate funding for the forgivable loan and authorizing the Executive Director to execute a loan agreement and associated transaction documents with Village of Hope Pittsburg LLC to support the construction of transitional-age youth (TAY) housing at 5305 Kirker Pass Road.
BACKGROUND
The City of Pittsburg actively seeks out community development opportunities to revitalize neighborhoods and develop viable urban communities by expanding decent, safe, and affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households.
These initiatives are designed to foster stable living environments and ensure that municipal resources are strategically deployed to support project feasibility for underserved populations.
Transition-age youth are defined as legally emancipated youth between the ages of 16 and 18 or young adults between 18 and 24 who are aging out of foster care, in state custody, or facing immediate homelessness, and represent a particularly vulnerable segment of the local unhoused population. Without targeted interventions, this demographic faces severe barriers to independent living, highlighting a critical regional need for dedicated supportive housing infrastructure that combines stable shelter with professional development.
To address this gap, the developer, Village of Hope Pittsburg, LLC entered into a long- term ground lease with the Pittsburg Church of the Nazarene to utilize approximately
0.8 acres of vacant land situated along the western side of the parcel at 5305 Kirker Pass Road. While the property contribution secures the site footprint, upfront municipal infrastructure and regulatory costs present significant barriers to breaking ground. To overcome these initial capital hurdles associated with local development fees and to enable the successful build-out of a targeted, service-enriched micro-housing community, Hope Solutions requested financial assistance from the Housing Authority.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was presented to the Life Enrichment Subcommittee on May 15, 2024.
STAFF ANALYSIS
This project represents a collaborative effort to address youth homelessness by establishing a 15-unit home community dedicated to Transition Age Youth (TAY) ages 18 to 24. Developed by Village of Hope Pittsburg, LLC and managed by Hope Solutions, the project constructs affordable housing paired with mandatory onsite wraparound supportive services, such as case management and mental health support, to help unhoused or at-risk young adults transition into independent living. The project has received all necessary land use entitlements and is currently applying for construction permits.
As the developer does not own the land, to secure the loan a Tri-Party Agreement has been negotiated between the Housing Authority, Village of Hope Pittsburg LLC, and the Pittsburg Church of the Nazarene. This agreement will ensure that the City’s $500,000 Leasehold Deed of Trust, the Regulatory Agreement, and all municipal property encumbrances remain securely tied to the land regardless of any future lease disruptions.
The $500,000 forgivable loan would cover the developer's City engineering and building permit fees. As mentioned above, the loan carries 0% interest over a 20-year term, and is forgiven in two equal tranches on the 10th and 20th anniversaries of the loan disbursement contingent upon the developer maintaining compliance and continuing to operate the project as a dedicated youth housing facility. Any unauthorized transfer or operational default immediately halts forgiveness and accelerates the debt at a 12% default interest rate.
As required, the developer has annexed the site into the City's Lighting and Landscaping District, the Public Safety Community Facilities District (CFD), and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District CFD to pay its share of the local emergency services it may utilize.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 21, 2026
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ City Manager
John Funderburg, Assistant Director Community and
Economic Development
Ishani Rasanayagam, Administrative Analyst II
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Approving the 2025- 2026 Community Development Block Grant Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement jurisdictions to prepare and submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by September 30th of each year. The CAPER is a “report card” that documents how well the City met its goals during the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026 (Program Year) in helping low- to moderate-income residents of Pittsburg through various services and infrastructure improvements utilizing CDBG funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the General Fund or any City enterprise funds. The CDBG program is federally funded, and a portion of an entitlement jurisdiction's allocation may be spent on program administration, covering activities and associated staffing expenses.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council open the public hearing, consider the 2025-2026 CAPER, receive testimony, close the public hearing, consider the public comments, and adopt a Resolution approving the 2025-2026 CAPER for submission to HUD.
BACKGROUND
HUD regulations require the City to report on the CDBG activities and programs undertaken during the previous Program Year by September 30th of each calendar year. Program Year activities for Fiscal year (FY) 2025-2026 were approved on July 7, 2025, by Resolution 25-14640, and are memorialized in the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan.
The CAPER provides a concise summary of the CDBG funding available and expended. During FY 2025-2026, these monies funded activities and programs that address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the Contra Costa Consortium 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan (2025-2030 Consolidated Plan) and those that met national objectives and community development goals.
As required, the CAPER includes specific program narratives and assessments of annual performance and progress in meeting the goals and objectives of the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. In addition, the CAPER provides the number of people assisted with CDBG funds in the Program Year, the amount of funds budgeted and used for approved activities and programs, and actions by the City to affirmatively further local and Contra Costa County Consortium objectives.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The CAPER for fiscal year 2025-2026 was presented to the Life Enrichment Subcommittee meeting on August 19, 2026, for review prior to City Council consideration.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The preparation of the CAPER consists of an analysis of the year-end reports submitted by the various subrecipients. These reports provide a summary of each subrecipient’s goal accomplishments, any problems encountered, and success stories.
The City utilized its CDBG funds to assist low to moderate income residents. The targeted total persons or households to be served were 5,692 during the Program Year.
The year-end total number of persons or households actually served was 9,143. CDBG funds allow the City to create a more livable, better functioning, and attractive community for its residents.
Activities undertaken during the Program Year consist of the following:
• $103,819 expended by six organizations funded under the Public Services category. Public Service activities included: programs providing dental and medical care to low-income residents and individuals experiencing homelessness; hot meals and food assistance to low-income individuals and families; and community-based health and supportive services, such as free dental care, primary and preventative healthcare, food distribution and meal programs, and assistance to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity
and other economic hardships. A total of 3,657 low-income residents were served, and over 1,600 meals were provided.
• $107,039 was expended towards Economic Development activities that provided job training and placement, along with programs that assist micro-enterprises. A total of 35 people received job training and 1 person was placed in an administrative position. In addition, 18 people opened and expanded childcare services.
• $279,954 in CDBG funding was used for the installation of ADA ramps. The project was successfully completed on time and within budget, without any implementation challenges. The project included the construction of 34 ADA ramps in HUD-designated census tract locations.
• $78,052 was awarded for Roadway Safety Improvement projects. These funds, along with funding received from other sources, were used to improve traffic safety along Linscheid Drive.
• $130,419 was expended for Program Administration and Planning.
Three housing rehabilitation loans were granted under the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program in FY 2025–2026, and all three projects were successfully completed within the fiscal year. In addition, one project carried forward from FY 2024–2025 was completed during FY 2025–2026 after the homeowner experienced challenges with the originally selected contractor and selected a new contractor to complete the work.
However, a different source of funds was used for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program.
The CAPER public comment period opened on September 4, 2026, and will end September 21, 2026, with the closing of this public hearing item. Copies of the draft 2025-2026 CAPER were made available for review online on the City’s website, and interested parties were encouraged to send comments on the draft 2025-2026 CAPER during the comment period.
If approved, staff will submit the 2025-2026 CAPER on or prior to September 30, 2026.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
The 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan identifies a list of housing and community development needs. A Strategic Plan was produced to establish the priority of needs and objectives specific to Pittsburg. The objectives are intended to meet the identified priority needs. There were three priority needs category identified in the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan:
• Affordable Housing – It is a priority to maintain and preserve the existing affordable housing stock, including single family residences owned and occupied by lower-income households, multi-family units at risk of loss to the market, and housing in deteriorating or deteriorated lower income neighborhoods.
• Access to Healthy Food and Self-Sufficiency – It is a priority to improve access to healthy and affordable food and support programs that promote self-sufficiency and economic stability for lower-income households.
• Healthcare and Mental Health Services – It is a priority to improve access to healthcare services, with a focus on mental health services, particularly for low-income and underserved residents.
The purpose of addressing a community’s non-housing needs, in addition to its housing needs, is to help create more livable, better functioning, and more attractive communities by integrating economic, physical, environmental, community, and human development programs in a comprehensive and coordinated fashion so that families and communities can thrive while working together.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.
The City of Pittsburg’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a multi-year planning instrument for construction of new facilities and infrastructure, and for the expansion, rehabilitation, or replacement of existing City-owned assets. The 5-Year CIP is developed by City Staff and is adopted by the City Council as a guide for prioritization of various projects to accomplish community goals. The CIP is updated regularly to reflect changing priorities and funding availability, and to remove projects that have been completed.
This 5-Year CIP for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 through FY 2029/30 includes 53 current or new projects with a total estimated cost of $276,909,599 for the benefit of the residents of Pittsburg, and projects proposed by Pittsburg Power Company at the Island Energy facility on Mare Island in Vallejo. Each of the proposed projects meets one or more of the following criteria:
• Elimination of potentially hazardous or unsafe conditions and potential liability • Replacement of high-maintenance, inefficient or ineffective infrastructure • Improvement to and/or creation of new services to the public • Compliance with regulatory requirements and mandates
• Stimulation of the local economy and elimination of blighted conditions • Compliance with the City of Pittsburg General Plan
• Preservation of existing assets
The schedule and prioritization of CIP projects are based on available funding, public benefit, and funding restrictions. Staff has solicited comments from department management and other City staff to evaluate projects proposed for inclusion in the CIP. All of the projects on the list have been evaluated and ranked. Funding that is proposed for the projects listed are according to their priority ranking or available funding. Staff obtains funding projections and available funding for current and future projects from the City’s Finance Department and applies them to the CIP accordingly. These projects will receive further evaluation in the next 5-Year CIP update planned for FY 2026/27.

In an effort to produce affordable housing, Pittsburg is part of the HOME Consortium with Contra Costa County. The purpose of the HOME program is to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for very low and low-income households. HOME funds may be used for projects to acquire, rehabilitate, and construct housing for lower-income households in the Consortium area. HOME funds cannot be used for half-way houses or student housing. HOME funds are typically only eligible for new HOME projects. Except in rare circumstances, it is not permissible to invest additional HOME funding during the HOME affordability term into a project that has previously been awarded funds. The HUD HOME term for new construction projects is 20 years and up to 15 years for acquisition/rehabilitation projects.
Goals:

The development offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments and continues to provide a significant number of affordable housing opportunities for low- and very low-income households in the City. Current listings show rents ranging from approximately $1,773 to $2,260, depending on unit size and availability.
The City is preparing to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Bliss Avenue Development.
This RFP includes that 25% of the 300 residential units be restricted to be affordable units.
The City is also partnering with HOPE Solutions on the construction of the Village of HOPE, a 15-unit transitional housing project for Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) ages 18–24. The Pittsburg Housing Authority Board approved a forgivable loan using Housing Successor Agency funds to support the project at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting on July 20, 2026. Construction is expected to begin in September 2026.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), are a growing strategy in Pittsburg to expand the supply of affordable housing. ADUs can be built on existing single-family properties, either as detached units, garage conversions, or additions to the main home. For low-income families, ADUs can provide an affordable rental option in established neighborhoods, often at lower costs than traditional apartments. They also create opportunities for homeowners to generate rental income, which can help stabilize household finances and prevent foreclosure or displacement.
By increasing the number of smaller, more affordable housing units within the community, ADUs can play a key role in addressing Pittsburg’s housing shortage and supporting families with limited incomes.
2) Increase Affordable Supportive Housing Supply. Expand housing opportunities for persons with special needs, including seniors, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS, veterans, and the homeless, by increasing appropriate and supportive housing.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The City currently has a dedicated Coordinated Outreach Referral and Engagement (CORE) team. Managed by the County, CORE is a critical program that provides direct outreach and engagement services to unsheltered individuals. This program has a team of two staff members who are specifically assigned to serve the Pittsburg community. These staff members are available Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, ensuring consistent and reliable support for individuals in need. Their presence during these hours allows them to engage
CAPER 12
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
directly with the community, providing essential outreach services, connecting people with resources, and addressing urgent needs as they arise. Building on the program's success in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, the City is using funds from the 2021 and 2022 PLHA entitlement to support a three-year contract with the CORE Program.
A portion of the Bliss Avenue project is designed to benefit low-income residents by increasing access to affordable housing. This initiative will provide housing options for individuals and families of various income levels; from those who may struggling to find affordable places to live to those who are able to afford market rate housing but do not want the maintenance responsibilities. By focusing on creating sustainable, quality homes, the project aims to address the housing needs in our community. The Bliss Avenue project not only helps residents secure stable, affordable housing but also contributes to the overall revitalization of the area, fostering a more inclusive and supportive neighborhood for all.

Narrative Information
Fortunately, Pittsburg has its own Housing Authority that can help in meeting the needs for affordable housing. HUD requires that extremely low income (ELI) families make up at least 75% of the families admitted to the housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program during any given fiscal year. ELI families are those with annual income at or below 30% of the federal poverty level. Priority for housing is ranked as follows:
• Veterans who are residents of Pittsburg
• Employed citizens of Pittsburg
• Veterans who are nonresidents of Pittsburg
• Non Veterans/ Non Residents
Pittsburg believes in a regional approach when addressing the community’s housing needs.
Pittsburg continues to foster relationships with various agencies in the county and provide these resources to the community.

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City continues to participate in the countywide effort to assist the homeless population by funding services that take proactive steps to implement the Continuum of Care strategy for the homeless. Pittsburg has a dedicated Coordinated Outreach Referral and Engagement (CORE) team. CORE teams served as an entry point into the coordinated entry system for unsheltered persons and work to identify, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals and families. They provide basic needs, supplies, counseling, benefits assistance, linkages to healthcare, shelter placement, and referrals and transportation to CARE Centers. The CORE staff have built trusting relationships with hard to reach clients. CORE staff have been able to link people to services and continue to coach and educate individuals and families on health, safety and sanitation. CORE teams also established connections with agencies to coordinate services and work together to support the homeless population. These partnerships helped to get individuals and families access to health, mental health, and dental services; connect individuals and families to shelters, and drug and detox programs. The CORE team also oversees an intake program, where every unsheltered individual they encounter is processed into a database. This database plays a crucial role in tracking and documenting the homeless

population within the area. HUD relies on this information to assess the scope of homelessness in each county, which in turn directly influences the allocation of funding for homelessness services.
The City has its own homeless team which includes staff from various departments including the City Manager’s Office, Police Department, Engineering, Public Works, Community and Economic Development, City Attorney’s Office and Community Services. This team meets monthly to discuss current issues that are affecting its residents and businesses and the homeless population and sets strategies that can help the community as a whole. Police officers that are in direct contact with the homeless population provide food vouchers, clothing and in some cases, vouchers for lodging at a local motel. The Police Department also has a Mental Health Evaluation Team (MHET) staff to assist individuals who may be experiencing mental health crises.
The City is collaborating with Hope Solutions on the Village of Hope project at the Church of the Nazarene, Pittsburg property, offering a fully forgivable loan to support the initiative. This project plans to construct 15 housing units specifically for Transition Age Youth (TAY), providing critical support and stable housing for young adults transitioning out of foster care or facing homelessness. The project is set to commence in fiscal year 2026-2027.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons St. Vincent De Paul RotaCare Clinic – CDBG funds were used to support the RotaCare Clinic operated at the St. Vincent De Paul facility in Pittsburg. The clinic provides free medical care to low-income and uninsured residents who may otherwise have limited access to healthcare. In addition to providing medical services, the St. Vincent De Paul facility also serves as a daytime resource for homeless families, providing a safe place during the day and connecting individuals and families with supportive services and other community resources.
Loaves & Fishes is a CDBG-funded feeding program that provides hot meals for families. They offer breakfast and lunch at five dining hall locations across Contra Costa County. In addition to meals, these facilities also provide pantry essentials and fresh produce.
The Bay Compassion -The City also provides resources to the Shower Program conducted by the Bay Church, in partnership with St. Vincent de Paul, New Destiny Church, and Loaves and Fishes. This is a weekly event where the unhoused can receive a shower with free toiletries, new clothes, a haircut, and a free meal.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
Contra Costa County’s Coordinated Entry System (CES) allows service providers to efficiently and effectively connect people to interventions which aim to rapidly resolve their housing crisis.
CES aims to help consumers with fewer roadblocks and fewer vulnerabilities obtain housing with short-term supports while connecting the highest needs, most vulnerable persons in the community to available housing and supportive services. CES is comprised of a variety of programs to serve those at-risk of homelessness, currently homeless, and formerly homeless people now housed in permanent supportive housing. The goal of CES it to move people from access points, and for those with higher needs, to housing services. The CES is has a prevention/diversion screening tool to be used by Contra Costa Crisis Center (2-1-1) and other crisis service entry points into our system to identify clients on the brink of homelessness and connect them to prevention and mainstream services. Clients are connected to prevention providers throughout the County.
AB 109 - Reentry: The CoC has two discharge plans for former inmates, the Reentry Strategic Plan and Realignment Plan. The Reentry Strategic Plan focuses on: 1) housing-focused discharge planning prior to release; 2) formalized pre-release planning that identifies service needs and connects prisoners with community-based service providers; and 3) enrollment in public benefits at least 90 days prior to release. Realignment Plan provides: 1) pre-release "reach-in" assessments, case management and referrals to housing resources, and 2) individualized treatment plans for mental health/substance abuse issues, linked with housing services. training, substance abuse treatment & childcare. Under AB109, probationers have five days upon prison release to report to their Probation Officer (PO) to review their probation orders. At their initial meeting, the PO determines whether the individual received “custody” mental health services and/or was released with a 30 day supply of psychotropic medications.
POs may then offer the individual a referral to Mental Health Services to be assessed for their voluntary continuation of medications and need for focused forensic case management services. There is also coordination with the Parole and Community Team (PACT), comprised of service providers, police & the California Department of Corrections Regional Parole Board, to link newly released ex-offenders with resources like housing, education, employment, job training, substance abuse treatment & childcare.
The St. Vincent de Paul’s RotaCare is a free medical clinic and received $17,662 of CDBG funds. This free medical clinic is staffed with a team of volunteer medical professionals including physicians, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, nurses, health educators, bi-lingual translators, social workers, receptionists and administrative assistant. They provide medical care and preventative services to uninsured and low income residents of Pittsburg. They directly

improved availability and access to health services and reduced health disparities for low income and underserved residents. A total of 394 people were assisted during this Program Year. Similarly, CDBG funds were also awarded to Dentists on Wheels to provide free dental services to low-income and underserved residents in the community. The program helps individuals who may otherwise have difficulty accessing dental care by providing basic dental screenings, preventive care, and other essential dental services at no cost to eligible residents.
Continuation
Countywide Discharge Coordination Policy FOSTER CARE: When foster youth age out of the foster care system, the County links them to the Independent Living Skills Program (ILSP) transition supports. ILSP includes workshops that prepare youth for emancipation (money management, education, computer skills, home management, and social skills), employment assistance, non-McKinney-Vento housing and retention services, and an individualized transition plan out of foster care. In addition, foster youth can elect to remain in foster care or return to care after emancipation (but before turning 21) to receive a two-year housing subsidy, which can be used in a market rate unit, student housing, or congregate living. This is a State program that all foster youth and former foster youth are able to access. HEALTH CARE:
Hospital discharge protocol, adopted by the CoC and by all hospitals in the County, states: 1) Hospitals will not discharge people who are not ambulatory or not capable of caring for themselves; 2) prior to discharge, the hospital will seek a pre-discharge assessment from a Healthcare for the Homeless (HCH) nurse; 3) the HCH nurse will assess the viability of a respite placement and make a recommendation accordingly; 4) prior to discharge, the hospital will ensure that a patient has an appointment for follow-up medical care; 5) the hospital will discharge the patient with enough medications and/or supplies for at least 7 days; and 6) the hospital will ensure that the patient leaves with all of their belongings and is appropriately clothed. ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS SERVICES 1.) AOD works in partnership with the Behavioral Health Benefits Unit to enroll clients in Medi-Cal immediately upon release from a facility. 2.) AOD works to reduce the early termination rate among formerly incarcerated individuals in Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment. Coupled with training, AOD continues to adapt program policies and procedures which support successful engagement of this population while adhering to regulatory State mandates. AOD continues to assist and encourage providers to develop/form/create linkages/agreements/MOUs with primary care and mental health and housing for provision of services to AOD clients. A Housing Specialist is available at the Discovery House by the Homeless program to help clients prepare housing arrangements before discharge and support long-term recovery. MENTAL HEALTH: Clients treated by the County Behavioral Health Division are regularly reviewed for readiness and prepared for discharge into environments that provide stepped-down levels of care. The Department holds a weekly Bed Committee where all institutionalized consumer's discharge plans are prepared. Discharge planning responsibilities fall to the Clinic managers for those consumers currently receiving services and to the Mental Health Transition Team (consisting of managers, a psychiatrist, RNs, clinicians and peer providers) for those patients not otherwise connected to the County system. State hospitals discharge to Institutes for Mental Disease (IMD)/Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) and not to HUD CoC funded programs. Persons
CAPER 17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
discharged from IMDs/SNFs are placed in Crisis Residential/Transitional Residential Services (CR/TRS), and those discharged from Acute Inpatient Facilities (AIFs) are released to appropriate settings, such as the Respite Center at the County's Adult Emergency Shelter.
Those exiting CR/TRS are discharged to independent, shared or supported (e.g. Board & Care) housing. State Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds also pay for 79 housing units for homeless discharges with severe mental illness. RESPITE CENTER - Philip Dorn Respite Center in our neighboring city of Concord is a twenty-four (24) bed shelter for homeless adults who are leaving the hospital and have health care needs that cannot be met in the emergency shelter environment. This is a collaborative project with Health Care for the Homeless and local hospitals.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The most significant barrier to decreasing the duration of homelessness for individuals and families is the limited availability of affordable housing.
CHRONICALLY HOMELESS: The County's 2026 point-in-time count estimated that 2,260 people are staying in shelter beds or living outdoors on an average night in Contra Costa, compared to 2,118 in 2025, an increase of 6.7% or 142 people. On the night of the 2026 point- in-time count, there were 44 unsheltered people in Pittsburg compared to 73 in 2025.
Of the unsheltered population in Contra Costa County, 60% are between the ages of 25 - 54 and 60% are males and 3% are veterans. 95% of the unhoused were from adult only households and 54% are chronically homeless.
The City is partnering with Hope Solutions on the Village of Hope project at the Pittsburg Church of the Nazarene by providing a fully forgivable loan. This initiative aims to build 15 housing units designed for Transition Age Youth (TAY), providing essential support and stable housing for young adults transitioning out of foster care or experiencing homelessness.
CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The Housing Authority does not own any public housing. Instead, it provides rental subsidy to the maximum extent allowable through the Housing Voucher Program, also known as Section 8.
Funding is awarded by the Federal government, through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to subsidize low-income families with their rent and utilities. The number of families the Housing Authority is able to assist is determined by the annual contract contribution
CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
awarded. Factors in determining the number of units available to assist eligible families are based on average housing assistance payments and fair market rents established by HUD. With this in mind, for FY 202-2026, the Housing Authority (HA) received $21,449,097.The HA is authorized 1,140 vouchers, with 185 allocated to Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH).
These funds were used to subsidize 980 Section 8 recipients.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The Housing Authority counsels clients who are interested in becoming homeowners by sharing information on the Homeownership Voucher Program. Eligible candidates are provided monthly mortgage subsidy upon the purchase of their first home. The Housing Authority uses its normal voucher program payment standard schedule to determine the amount of subsidy. The housing assistance payment (HAP) is the lesser of either the payment standard minus the total tenant payment or the family's monthly homeownership expenses minus the total tenant payment. The Housing Authority may make the HAP payment directly to the family or to the lender. In the fiscal year 2024-2025, the Housing Authority launched a pilot program to promote self- sufficiency among Section 8 residents, helping them transition out of the program and into home ownership. This program was implemented in FY 2025–2026, with workshops held by CDBG subrecipients, including ECHO, Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center, Opportunity Junction, and St. Vincent de Paul. The workshops provided participants with information about available resources, upcoming training opportunities, employment services, and other programs designed to support workforce development and economic self-sufficiency.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Housing Authority, operating the rental subsidy program, was a high performer during the Program Year. Therefore, no actions were taken.
CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) The provision of adequate and affordable housing is an important goal of the City. As a result, the City has proactively implemented a variety of programs, incentives, and development standards to encourage the development, maintenance, and improvement of affordable housing. The City offers incentives for on-site compliance as outlined in City’s Municipal Code Section 18.86.060. Incentives include:
• Allowing affordable units to be at most 10 percent smaller in square footage than market rate units.
CAPER 19
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Allowing ownership units to be constructed on smaller lots. • Allowing affordable units to have a fewer number of bathrooms and have different interior design, finishes, and features than market rate units in the same residential development.
• A reduction in off-street parking requirements for affordable units provided that the development is located downtown or within walking distance, generally ½-mile of transit facilities.
• Deferment of parkland, traffic mitigation, and other City fees. • Provides for a density bonus for affordable housing projects.
In addition, to provide an incentive for the development of larger family units (four or more bedrooms), developers are offered credit toward the inclusionary requirement of one and one- quarter per larger family unit. On November 15, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 04-1229 adding Chapter 18.86, Inclusionary Housing, to the Municipal Code. The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance contains minimum requirements for provision of affordable units within developments. The purpose of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance is to establish minimum requirements, incentives, and alternative measures by which to ensure the provision of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all segments of the City’s population, regardless of household income. This ordinance is only enforced on for sale units and not on rental housing.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City is committed to taking action to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
Special needs groups such as elderly/frail elderly, persons with disabilities, and persons who are victims of domestic violence live throughout the city. Given that these special needs populations have various obstacles to accessing housing and services, Pittsburg will continue to provide CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation activities, public facility/infrastructure improvements, and public service activities that improve the quality of life for special needs groups.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Facts about Lead Poisoning in Contra Costa County:
More than 800 children with elevated blood lead levels have been identified in Contra Costa.
Most of these children have been identified in the last eleven years because of routine screening.
• 475 children had lead levels between 10 - 14 µg/dL
• 161 children had lead levels between 15 - 19 µg/dL
• 158 children had lead levels between 20 - 44 µg/dL
• 6 children had lead levels of 45 µg/dL or higher
• About 46% of the children are from the Richmond/San Pablo area • Another 26% of the children are from the Pittsburg/Antioch area
CAPER 20
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• 10% are from the Concord area.
The rest live throughout the County, in areas as diverse as El Cerrito, Crockett, Brentwood, and San Ramon.
More than 63% of lead-poisoned children in Contra Costa have been under the age of 3 years.
Most are one- and two-year olds.
Who's at Risk and Why?
• Low income children
Nationwide data show that young children in publicly assisted programs such as MediCal are at much higher risk for lead poisoning.
• Children living in old, deteriorating housing
Lead-based paint is still the major source of childhood lead poisoning.
More than half of Contra Costa cases have been linked to lead-based paint.
Statewide percentages are even higher.
• Children of any income living in older housing that is being renovated or repainted Activities that disturb lead-based paint and create lead dust are very dangerous, especially for young children. They can also harm adults, including workers and owner- occupants engaged in do-it-yourself projects.
There are over 97,000 housing units built before 1960 in Contra Costa.
Because Contra Costa has experienced such rapid housing growth, percentages of old housing have declined overall. Older housing is not evenly distributed, and even within a community there are areas where the high-risk older housing is more concentrated. (State and federal agencies recommend targeted screening of all young children, regardless of income, in communities where > 27% of housing was built before 1960.) The City will continue to protect residents from lead-based paint hazards in housing funded with CDBG funds by conforming to HUD regulations 24 CFR Part 35. This regulation addresses the need to reduce or eliminate lead-based paint hazards in federally owned housing and housing receiving Federal funds. The City requires its subrecipients to agree to include requirements for compliance with this regulation. The City requires that recipients of homeowner rehabilitation funds sign HUD’s Notification for Lead Based Paint and that any abatement required be included in the home’s repairs.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Pittsburg employs a variety of strategies to help alleviate poverty in the city, including efforts to stimulate economic growth and job opportunities, and to provide residents with the skills and abilities required to take advantage of those opportunities. Pittsburg uses a portion of its CDBG funds to provide grants to non-profit organizations to operate the Public Service programs that serve the low- income population including the homeless in the community.
In particular, the City believes in funding economic development programs such as Contra
CAPER 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Costa Child Care Council (CoCoKids), Opportunity Junction’s Job Training and Placement, and Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center, which play instrumental roles in reducing the number of persons below the poverty line. This is done by providing the participants the resources needed to obtain the skills and training needed to be competitive in the job market or become qualified business owners.
Outside of CDBG funding, the City also funds the Future Build program, a pre-apprenticeship program providing East County residents with 16+ weeks of training in the building trades and solar theory, construction, and installation.
The Housing Authority created a pilot program aimed at promoting self-sufficiency among Section 8 residents, helping them transition out of the program and into homeownership. The City will collaborate with organizations to offer training and education that will improve the participants skillset, providing an opportunity to obtain a job or higher paying job. In addition, the City will collaborate with an organization to provide training in money management, eliminating credit card debt, saving for a down payment, and more.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The Contra Costa County Consortium was formed by the County of Contra Costa and the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg and Walnut Creek to develop a collaborative approach to administering and implementing the goals and objectives of the respective CDBG programs.
The Contra Costa County Consortium members coordinate consolidated Planning efforts and have developed a streamlined process for applying for CDBG/HOME/ESG funds that allow applicants to complete one application for multiple jurisdictions and, once funded, complete one periodic performance report for all funding jurisdictions. This joint effort has eased the administrative burden for subrecipients and allows jurisdictions to easily share information.
Furthermore, the Contra Costa County Consortium established a multiple-year funding cycle that has greatly reduced the time spent on completing and reviewing applications for both subrecipients and CDBG/HOME staff respectively.
Each entitlement jurisdiction in the Contra Costa County Consortium completes its own annual planning and allocation process, including preparation and completion of its Annual Action Plan and CAPER. These planning efforts have a high degree of coordination with the Contra Costa County Consortium members working together to closely align CDBG allocations, helping to maximize funding and to ensure collaboration between agencies.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The Contra Costa County Consortium jurisdictions work on strategies and actions designed to overcome identified impediments and eliminate problems of housing discrimination. The Contra Costa Interagency Council on Homelessness (CCICH) works with local jurisdictions, public and private agencies, the interfaith community, homeless advocacy groups, and other community
CAPER 22
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
organizations to help the CoC to alleviate homelessness. The majority of the City's goals and objectives within the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are met through activities that are carried out by subrecipients that are primarily public and private agencies within the County, including non-profit organizations. There is ongoing concern about the long- term capacity of the non-profit community during these severe budgetary times and their ability to comply with often complex Federal regulations and requirements in implementing federally funded programs. Pittsburg will continue to support these agencies by providing technical assistance, helping to establish collaboration between agencies and with funding, when possible.
Pittsburg works closely with public and private affordable housing providers as well as with Contra Costa County’s Public Health, Behavioral Health and Homeless Services departments, and various agencies to coordinate the allocation of funds to best meet the needs of the City’s low to moderate income residents and the special needs population. This coordination leverages CDBG funds to maximize their impact.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) The Contra Costa County Consortium is required to conduct an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) and to periodically review that analysis and update it as necessary. Each AI is reassessed and reevaluated with each consolidated plan. Together, the members of the Contra Costa County Consortium have collaborated to jointly plan for the housing and community development needs of the County as a whole.
The purpose of an AI is to review conditions in the jurisdictions that may impact the ability of households to freely choose housing and to be treated without regard to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin, source of income, age, disability, or other protected status. The AI reviews the general state of fair housing, the enforcement of fair housing law, efforts to promote fair housing, access to credit for the purpose of housing, and general constraints to the availability of a full range of housing types. An AI also examines the affordability of housing in the jurisdiction with an emphasis on housing affordable to households with annual incomes classified as low income and less. Low income is defined as equal to or less than 80 percent of the adjusted Area Median Income as most recently published by HUD.
The AI not only identifies impediments to fair housing choice, but also makes recommendations to overcome the effects of those impediments and will serve as the basis for fair housing planning, providing essential information to staff, policy makers, housing providers, lenders, and fair housing advocates, and assisting with garnering community support for fair housing efforts.
The most recent AI was completed and approved the Contra Costa County Consortium in June 2019.

The City continues its monitoring of subrecipients and projects to ensure compliance with program and comprehensive planning requirements. The City performs on-site monitoring of CDBG subrecipients. Monitoring efforts are coordinated for subrecipients that are jointly funded by other jurisdictions within the Contra Costa County Consortium. The City works directly with the other jurisdictions to analyze which subrecipients need to be monitored and the Contra Costa County Consortium takes a tag team approach in conducting the on-site monitoring to minimize duplicative efforts. The purpose of the monitoring is to ensure the activities and programs achieve their approved objectives in a manner which is consistent with Federal regulations. If there is a lack of performance or the subrecipient does not meet goals, the City will continue site visits and investigate further until a resolution is reached.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 21, 2026
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ City Manager
Sara Bellafronte, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Amending the Master Fee Schedule
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution updating the City’s credit card and e-check processing fees in the Master Fee Schedule. The former $1 credit card convenience fee will be replaced with a fee not to exceed 3.75% of the transaction amount for credit card transactions and up to $2 for e-check payments. These changes will offset approximately $450,000 in annual merchant costs currently absorbed by the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the City would be relieved of an estimated $450,000 annual cost charged to various City Funds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND
A master fee schedule is a consolidated document adopted by City Council that lists all the fees a city charges for its various services, permits, licenses, and other activities.
Typical fees in the Master Fee Schedule include building and planning fees (permits, plan checks, inspections, zoning applications), business license fees, park and recreation fees (facility rentals, program registration), public works fees (encroachment permits, engineering review), city clerk fees (document copies, records requests),
administrative fees tied to specific programs or services, as well as utility rates.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
In 2016, through Resolution 16-13269, the City adopted a $1 credit card fee to partially offset the cost of credit card processing payments and merchant fees charged by third- party vendors. The City collected $1 on all credit card transactions, and paid out the actual aggregated cost of all credit card processing fees charged by banks and payment vendors annually. As demonstrated by the table below, the cost to the City for this service has increased over time to an average $450,000 annually due to misalignment of cost charged by third-party vendors to provide credit card processing services and the $1 fee adopted.
Fiscal
Year

City
Cost to City
2021/22 $106,435 $375,037 $268,602
2022/23 $111,861 $462,601 $350,740
2023/24 $112,079 $453,826 $341,747
2024/25 $116,326 $492,799 $376,473
2025/26 $120,930 $631,318 $510,388
On average, the effective fee across all departments is approximately 3.75%, but when excluding high-fee, low-value transactions, the average fee is 3.25%. To recoup these costs, the proposed Master Fee Schedule amendment is to set all payment processing fees to a maximum of 3.75% of the payment amount for credit card transactions and $2 for e-check payments. For payments, the City’s contracted third-party payment vendors will collect the actual processing cost whenever possible. If this is not feasible, the City will charge the fee directly, up to 3.75% for credit card payments and up to $2 for e-checks. These fees will appear as separate charges.
The proposed removal of the $1 credit card processing fee and shift to direct charge by third-party payment vendors aligns with current practices in other jurisdictions and represents a fair cost recovery approach. The proposed action directly demonstrates fiscal sustainability by shifting the cost burden of credit card processing from the City to the customer and by collecting the actual cost of processing where applicable, promoting equitable cost recovery for services provided.

FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ City Manager
Melaine Venenciano, Director of City Clerk Services
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Amending the City’s Conflict of Interest Code
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act (Act), local governments are required to conduct a biennial review of its Conflict of Interest Code (Code) to determine accuracy. As part of this year’s biennial review, City staff has determined that the City’s Code must be amended to reflect new, reclassified, and eliminated employee positions. Updating the City’s Code will identify all of the designated positions that are required, by state law, to disclose financial interests.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the amended Code.
BACKGROUND
Section 18730 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations contains the terms of a standard Conflict of Interest Code, which may be adopted and incorporated by reference as the City's Code.
Government Code Section 87200 et seq. requires members of the City Council, Planning Commissioners, City Manager, City Attorney, City Treasurer and other public officials who manage public investments to disclose certain financial interests annually.
The City’s Code identifies all other employee positions that participate in the making of
governmental decisions. These designated positions are required to disclose certain financial interests under state law.
A public official or employee has a conflict of interest under the Act when all of the following occur:
• The official makes, participates in making, or uses their official position to influence a governmental decision;
• It is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will affect the official’s economic interest; • The effect of the decision on the official’s economic interest will be material; and • The effect of the decision on the official’s economic interest will be different than its effect on the public generally.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Upon review, City staff determined that the City's Code should be amended in order to accurately reflect the addition, reclassification, and elimination of certain employee positions. Organizational structure requires amending the City's Code to accurately identify and designate employee positions that are subject to state financial disclosure requirements.
The City’s Code must designate all officials and employees of, and consultants to, the agency who make or participate in making governmental decisions that could cause conflicts of interest. These individuals are required by the City's Code to file statements of economic interests and to disqualify themselves when conflicts of interest occur. The disclosure required under a conflict of interest code for a particular designated official or employee should include only the kinds of personal economic interests they could significantly affect through the exercise of their official duties.
The attached Resolution adopts the Fair Political Practices Commission’s standard Conflict of Interest Code and amends the City’s Code with an updated list of designated positions and identifies the disclosure categories to reflect the City’s current organizational structure.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Accepting the Plans and Specifications and Awarding Project 4079 - Linscheid Drive Traffic Calming Phase II and Project 4088 - 2026/27 CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Installation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project 4079 – Linscheid Drive Traffic Calming Phase II (Project 4079) consists of the installation of traffic calming improvements, including roundabouts, medians, striping, and pavement markings at the intersections of Linscheid Drive and Ramona Street and Manville Avenue and Madoline Street. Project 4088 – 2026/27 CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Installation (Project 4088) consists of the installation of an ADA-compliant curb ramp at the intersection of Mae Avenue and Ramona Street to improve accessibility and meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. To streamline project delivery and reduce overall administrative and construction costs, the two Projects were combined into a single construction contract for bidding and construction.
Adoption of this resolution will accept the Project plans and specifications and award a construction contract to Modernscapes Innovations for the construction of these combined Projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated total expenditure for Project 4079 and Project 4088 is $380,419, which includes design, construction award, contingency, and construction support services.
Funding will be provided through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), with $366,833 allocated to Project 4079 and $10,000 allocated to Project 4088, as previously approved through the FY 2026/27 CDBG Annual Action Plan. Additional funding comes from Measure J funds currently allocated to Project 4079.
Updated CIP Project Sheets for Project 4079 and 4088 are attached to this Staff Report.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt Resolution, accepting the Project plans and specifications and authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Modernscapes Innovations for a total amount not to exceed $249,767 for the construction of Project 4079 and Project 4088.
Staff recommends that the City Council allocate a construction contingency in the amount of $75,000 for any unanticipated costs and contract change orders.
Staff further recommends that the City Engineer be authorized to approve contract change orders for both projects in a total amount not to exceed 50% of the construction contingency and the City Manager be authorized to approve change orders in an amount not to exceed the approved Project budget.
BACKGROUND
On April 6, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-14756, awarding a construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Modernscapes Innovations in the amount of $143,559 and allocating an additional $100,000 from Measure J to Linscheid Drive Traffic Calming Phase I.
On July 20, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-14802, accepting Linscheid Drive Traffic Calming Phase I as complete and authorized the City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion.
On May 18, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-14775, approving the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) FY 2026/27 Annual Action Plan and the CDBG recommendation authorizing funding in the amount of $366,833 for Project 4079 and $10,000 for Project 4088.
On July 11, 2026, staff advertised a single construction contract for Projects 4079 and Project 4088; Modernscapes Innovations was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder with a base bid amount of $249,767.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee meeting.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Linscheid Drive corridor has a history of traffic safety complaints, particularly at the intersections of Linscheid Drive and Madoline Street and surrounding intersections. In
response, City staff developed a multi-phased traffic calming plan. Phase I constructed the first roundabout at Linscheid Drive and Madoline Street using FY 2025/26 CDBG funding in the amount of $280,236. The community responded positively to these improvements, leading to additional CDBG funding for Phase II.
Projects 4079 and 4088 were combined to improve project delivery, reduce administrative costs, and attract more competitive bids. Project 4079 includes installation of raised medians, pavement markings, and roundabouts at key intersections to reduce vehicle speeds, minimize conflict points, and improve overall traffic operations. Project 4088 improves pedestrian accessibility by installing an ADA- compliant curb ramp at the intersection of Mae Avenue and Ramona Street, ensuring compliance with ADA standards.
Sealed bids for these combined Projects were opened on August 26, 2026. Nine bids were received ranging from $249,767 to $428,974. The lowest bid from Modernscapes Innovations was below the engineer’s estimate. It has been confirmed for accuracy, completeness, and conformance with bidding requirements.
Staff is recommending a higher than usual contingency amount to allow the City to add additional project scope to the Projects if necessary to fully utilize CDBG funds allocated to these Projects.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing Execution of the First Amendment to the Consulting Services
Agreement with Tanner Pacific, Inc. for Construction
Management for Project 5067-Water Treatment Plant Filter Improvements and Hypochlorite Conversion Project
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project 5067-Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Filter Improvements and Hypochlorite Conversion (the “Project”) is paramount to the City’s ability to continue providing high- quality drinking water to residents. The Project includes installation of six new water filters, conversion of an existing gaseous chlorine system to liquid hypochlorite (bleach), and upgrades to filter effluent pumping and underground WTP infrastructure. Due to the magnitude, complexity, and duration of the Project, continued construction management services are necessary to provide the technical expertise, staffing resources, and oversight required to successfully administer construction. The proposed First Amendment provides additional compensation for construction management services required as a result of this extended construction duration. The amendment will allow Tanner Pacific to continue providing the necessary construction inspection, contract administration, coordination, schedule and cost management, and technical support for the additional time required to complete the Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment would increase the compensation in the Agreement by $2,076,527.21 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $5,760,757.21 and would be funded by the existing Project budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Agreement with Tanner Pacific, Inc.
BACKGROUND
On November 6, 2023, Tanner Pacific, Inc. submitted a proposal to the City Engineer to provide construction management services for the Project during the design and construction phases, at an estimated cost of approximately $3,684,230 based on anticipated duration from November 1, 2023, through September 30, 2026. This budget was consistent with the anticipated project duration at the time of issuance of the Request for Proposal (RFP).
The City's Construction Management RFP identified an anticipated construction duration of 24 to 30 months. However, the subsequently advertised construction contract established a contract duration of 1,300 calendar days, resulting in a construction period substantially longer than the duration used to establish the original construction management budget.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Project 5067 is the largest capital improvement project ever undertaken by the City.
Tanner Pacific, Inc, has played an integral role in supporting the Project’s construction management services. The firm’s extensive technical expertise in water treatment facilities, combined with its skilled construction management team provided for this project, has provided valuable support to City staff and project stakeholders.
The remaining budget is insufficient to provide the level of construction management and inspection services necessary through the current anticipated construction contract completion date. The extended construction duration, resulting in part from design changes and modifications made during the early stages of the Project, has increased the duration of construction management and inspection services beyond what was anticipated when the original Agreement budget was established.
The proposed First Amendment provides the additional funding necessary to maintain the appropriate level of construction management and inspection services throughout the current construction schedule. The amendment also incorporates funding for additional services authorized by the City after the original budget was established, including labor compliance monitoring and partnering facilitation.
The requested budget is based on the current anticipated project completion date of February 28, 2028, and the level of effort presently anticipated to support the project through completion.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Ratifying the Services Agreement with Mail Stream Corporation and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the First Amendment to the
Services Agreement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In July 2022, the City of Pittsburg entered into a services agreement with Mail Stream Corporation ("Mail Stream") for utility bill printing and mailing services ("Agreement").
The Agreement included an initial two-year term, with three one-year options, which were exercised in June 2024 and 2025. The proposed First Amendment to the Agreement ("Amendment") would memorialize the exercise of the first two one-year options, and authorize exercising the final one-year option, extending the Agreement term through June 30, 2027, and establishing a total not-to-exceed amount of $868,122, inclusive of funds previously expended.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal year (FY) 2026-27 cost of the Agreement is estimated to be $200,000.
Funding for this amount is included in the Water Fund FY 2026-27 budget.
Ratification of the Agreement and the Amendment will establish a total not-to-exceed amount of $868,122, of which the City has previously paid a total of $668,122 for services provided.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt a resolution ratifying the Services Agreement with Mail Stream Corporation and authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Services Agreement, extending the Agreement through June 30, 2027.
BACKGROUND
Mail Stream Corporation is located in Contra Costa County and has been providing utility bill printing and mailing services for the City since July 2022. On average, Mail Stream prints and mails over 20,000 utility bills each month, and sends delinquent notices as necessary.
Mail Stream guarantees delivery of printed materials to the post office within 48 business hours of printing. The company has consistently provided timely and professional service and has been responsive to the operational needs of City Utility Billing staff.
The original Agreement provided for an initial two-year term and three optional one-year extensions. The proposed First Amendment would exercise the remaining extension option and continue services through June 30, 2027.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The City relies on Mail Stream to perform the recurring, time-sensitive printing and mailing of utility bills and delinquency notices. These services are essential to the City’s billing and revenue-collection operations and help ensure that customers receive accurate and timely account information.
When the Agreement began in July 2022, its average annual cost was approximately $167,000. That amount included approximately $122,000 for postage and $45,000 for printing and related services. Since that time, Mail Stream has processed and mailed more than 20,000 utility bills per month while meeting its commitment to deliver printed materials to the post office within 48 business hours.
The City has paid a total of $668,122 for services provided under the Agreement.
Ratification will affirm the Agreement and the expenditures made for services received to date. Approval of the First Amendment will authorize the continuation of services through June 30, 2027, and establish a total not-to-exceed amount of $868,122.
Extending the Agreement will avoid disruption to the City’s utility billing operations while retaining a vendor that has demonstrated reliable performance and familiarity with the City’s billing requirements. Funding for the estimated FY 2026-27 cost of $200,000 is included in the adopted Water Fund budget.
Based on Mail Stream’s performance, the operational importance of uninterrupted utility billing services, and the availability of budgeted funds, staff recommends that the City Council ratify the Agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute the First
Amendment.
