4. TRANSPAC Workplan for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.
Matt Todd discussed the start of the annual work plan and budget process. The aim is to wrap up the work plan and budget by June. Mr. Todd also mentioned the need to set a closed session date for the annual review of his position and the public employee performance evaluation. He suggested holding this session at 8:30 a.m. before the standard May meeting date and then starting the open session at 9:00 a.m. Mr. Todd commented that he will be distributing forms to the Chair to facilitate the evaluation process.
Mr. Todd noted that the work plan is set to include the accessible transportation strategic plan, which has been gaining attention recently. Commissioner Obringer requested that an item related to the Concord Naval Weapon Station development be added. Additionally, Mr. Todd suggested including the 511 / Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) funding process.
Commissioner Noack and Commissioner Haskew expressed support for including the accessible transportation plan, highlighting its importance and the organization's efforts in making transportation more accessible. There were no further comments from the Board.
5. Measure J Line 20a FUNDS PROGRAM – FY 2024/2025 AND FY 2025/2026 Tiffany Gephart provided an update regarding the scoring committee's progress. She explained that the committee is in the process of scheduling its final meeting. The goal of the meeting is to prepare a draft recommendation for review.
Ms. Gephart introduced Measure J Line 20a grant applicants from the Golden Rain Foundation/Rossmoor, Mobility Matters, Choice in Aging and County Connection.
Golden Rain Foundation/Rossmoor
Jeff Matheson introduced himself as the general manager for the Golden Rain Foundation, which manages the Rossmoor community, a gated private senior community in Walnut Creek. The community has approximately 9,600 residents, all over the age of 55, with an average age of 77.
9.3.f
Packet Pg. 92
The community is known for its amenities and affordability compared to other areas in the East Bay, with an average household income of $75,000 to $100,000.
Rossmoor provides a mix of housing options and is known for its shared cost system, where residents pay a monthly fee that covers amenities and services, including a transportation system. Mr. Matheson explained that the transit system does not charge fares; instead, residents pay a monthly fee to support its operation. The system, which has been supported by Measure J funds since 2013, includes a downtown service that connects residents to downtown Walnut Creek, BART, medical facilities, and other services.
Mr. Matheson discussed the transition to a dial-a-bus service during COVID-19, which allows for more efficient and direct service. He also mentioned the challenges faced during COVID-19, such as staff shortages, but noted that the system is starting to stabilize. In 2024, Rossmoor plans to update its transit plan to evaluate the most efficient way to provide service.
The request for support includes $115,000 per year for the next cycle to continue the downtown service, which is estimated to serve just under 30,000 one-way trips annually at an average cost of about $48 per passenger. The conversation included questions from others about the community, transportation options, and future plans for autonomous vehicle partnerships.
Commissioner Noack expressed her excitement about the introduction of autonomous vehicles in the community. Mr. Matheson agreed that the new autonomous shuttle would be a promising addition and mentioned the ongoing partnership with CCTA to bring the shuttle to the community. He anticipated that it would be an interesting and beneficial collaboration.
Commissioner Carlson asked for an update on the number of riders using the transit system, particularly focusing on the downtown service (formerly known as the Green Line). Mr. Matheson responded that the current ridership was in the range of 25,000 to 27,000. He explained that while the transit system faced challenges during the pandemic, such as staffing issues, the numbers were on the rise, and he expected the next cycle to serve close to 30,000 trips to the downtown area.
Commissioner Obringer inquired about the percentage of residents who owned a vehicle versus those who relied on the shuttle. Mr. Matheson did not have precise statistics on the number of residents who no longer drive but emphasized the importance of the shuttle service in helping seniors maintain their independence and continue living in the community. He estimated that about 2,400 residents currently use the system.
Commissioner Haskew commented on the range of incomes within the community, noting that some residents seem to be comfortable while others require outside assistance to manage financially. Mr. Matheson acknowledged that Rossmoor faces challenges due to rising costs, particularly for homeowners' association fees and insurance. He added that these increases have made affordable housing more difficult to find, impacting residents' ability to afford living in the community.

Mobility Matters
Elaine Welch, CEO of Mobility Matters, presented an overview of the nonprofit's work in Contra Costa County. For 20 years, Mobility Matters has been providing transportation services to seniors aged 60 and older and disabled veterans. The organization helps its clients age in place and avoid nursing homes by providing transportation to medical appointments and essential services like grocery shopping. The average age of their clients is 85, with some over 100 years old.
Ms. Welch highlighted the organization's recent move to a safer location in Walnut Creek after their previous building in Lafayette began to slide down a creek, causing concern for their safety.
The move increased their rent significantly, posing a financial challenge.
Mobility Matters has six staff members and a growing number of volunteers, currently at 179, who provide free transportation to approximately 100 homebound seniors and veterans each year. Their services are crucial for those with no other means of transportation and rely on Mobility Matters for their independence and quality of life.
Ms. Welch discussed the challenges of providing escorted transportation, particularly for postanesthesia patients, and the importance of ensuring clients' safety during their rides. Mobility Matters is the only county-wide volunteer program offering door-through-door escorted transport for free, making it a vital service for the community.
Ms. Welch also mentioned the organization's efforts to implement emergency plans for each client, including connections with local fire and police departments, to ensure their safety during emergencies. Additionally, the organization provides clients with weather radios to help them stay informed during power outages.
In conclusion, Ms. Welch expressed gratitude for the community's support and emphasized the importance of their work in maintaining the independence and well-being of vulnerable populations in the county.
Choice in Aging
Debbie Toth is the president and CEO of Choice in Aging, a nonprofit organization that serves a diverse range of people, including seniors, disabled individuals, and children. The organization creates opportunities for individuals to age with dignity and independence within the community. Choice in Aging also focuses on intergenerational programming to promote understanding and respect among different age groups.
9.3.f
Packet Pg. 94
Ms. Toth highlighted the history and mission of Choice in Aging, emphasizing the inadequacy of existing transportation services for the older adults they serve. The organization advocates for better access to services, including transportation that is more suited to the needs of frail individuals with multiple chronic conditions.
Through the Community Connect program, Choice in Aging has been able to provide transportation services for older adults and individuals with disabilities, taking them off existing paratransit services and significantly reducing travel times. This allows participants to access adult day healthcare, intergenerational programming, health services, and social services more efficiently.
Choice in Aging faces challenges in staffing and is working to fill key positions, particularly drivers.
However, they have made progress in addressing staffing issues and are working towards providing continuous support and services to the community.
Commissioner Obringer asked Ms. Toth how many unique individuals Choice in Aging serves annually. Ms. Toth explained that prior to the pandemic, the organization served around 10 people daily at the adult day healthcare program, with approximately 40 to 60 unique individuals each year. The same applied to the shopping shuttle, though the program has expanded to Martinez since the pandemic.
Ms. Toth mentioned that their census is currently lower, serving around 30 to 40 people daily at the adult day healthcare program compared to 60 to 70 people before the pandemic. They are working to rebuild their capacity, expecting to serve around 6 or 7 individuals daily, with the goal of reaching ten by the end of the year.
Commissioner Obringer inquired about the locations served by Choice in Aging midday shopping shuttle. Ms. Toth stated that the organization serves Concord and Martinez. In Concord, they provide services to multiple facilities, including The Heritage Downtown, On Broadway, and The Carlton, focusing on independent living residents. In Martinez, they serve a low-income housing complex called Alhambra Palms, which houses a fragile population, including those who were formerly homeless or require skilled nursing care.
Ms. Toth also noted that Choice in Aging used to receive funding from the City of Concord's Community Development Block Grant program and the senior center, but they no longer receive this funding. Nonetheless, the organization continues to provide the Concord shopping shuttle without funding from the City of Concord.
County Connection
John Sanderson, director of ADA and specialized services for County Connection, emphasized the importance of rural lifeline transportation and the need for the group's support in continuing this service.
9.3.f
Packet Pg. 95
Mr. Sanderson provided an overview of paratransit, explaining that it was designed in 1990 to complement fixed-route bus service and is meant to be fair but not necessarily comfortable.
Paratransit rides cost riders $5, while the actual cost is around $73 per trip.
Mr. Sanderson highlighted the evolution of paratransit during the pandemic, including the introduction of the one-seat ride program that facilitated cross-border trips without requiring riders to change vehicles. This program involves cooperation between County Connection, WestCAT, Tri Delta Transit, and LAVTA.
Despite these advancements, Mr. Sanderson noted the ongoing challenges, particularly in providing services to rural and unincorporated areas. He asked for support to continue offering trips outside of their typical service area, which could serve as a demonstration of what is possible in expanding paratransit services.
The cost of providing out-of-area trips is an additional $30 per trip, and Mr. Sanderson noted that the hope is to use this program as a springboard to improve paratransit services across the county, further enabling them to operate without service area limitations.
Commissioner Obringer inquired about how the transportation program is being funded and whether other RTPCs are allocating their funds similarly. Mr. Sanderson explained that the trips are provided within the TRANSPAC service area and emphasized his hope that TRANSPAC's support would influence other RTPCs to follow suit. He noted TRANSPAC's process of a Measure J Line 20a call for projects is unique among RTPCs and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to present.
Commissioner Carlson asked for more details on the number of trips and how they are promoting the program. Mr. Sanderson explained they provide about two to three trips per day, totaling 50- 70 trips per month, mostly to isolated rural areas like Morgan Territory and Alhambra Valley. The program serves these limited areas, and the costs are kept in check as much as possible.
Commissioner Cloven noted the cost discrepancy between the actual cost of $73 per ride and the $5 fare, which Mr. Sanderson attributed to federal law limiting fares to twice the fixed route fare.
The cost difference is due to the significant expenses associated with providing paratransit services, including labor and vehicles. Mr. Sanderson emphasized the challenges of providing this service due to the high costs involved.
Commissioner Obringer asked Mr. Sanderson about the nature of the paratransit service and the type of support provided. Mr. Sanderson clarified that while they offer assistance from the door to the vehicle, they cannot accompany riders beyond the ground floor of a building due to the nature of the service, which is a shared ride.
Commissioner Noack and Mr. Todd also offered comments and questions regarding the cost per trip and the history of Measure J funding. Mr. Todd elaborated on how the different RTPCs apply
9.3.f
Packet Pg. 96
various approaches in allocating their Measure J funding, with TRANSPAC focusing on paratransit as its priority.
6. Travel Demand Management 2.0 and CCTA Transportation Fund for Clean Air Policy.
Mr. Todd introduced the item and Ying Smith discussed the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and 511 programs, focusing on what they accomplish and how to keep them running and funded through the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) program.
Ms. Smith provided an overview of her role at CCTA and the programs she oversees, including funding for bus operations and services for seniors and disabled individuals. She explained the need to demonstrate tangible benefits such as trip and emission reductions for the funded programs. The proposed TFCA policy will include a call for projects and seeks to ensure geographic equity by balancing countywide and subregional projects. Countywide projects are designed to benefit all residents, while subregional projects cater to local needs and priorities.
The discussion included a timeline for implementing the new policy, including a call for projects, evaluation, prioritization, and approval processes. The discussion touched on the need to maintain the 511 Contra Costa brand and allocate funding fairly across all sub-regions.
Kirsten Riker discussed the plans for new ideas in transportation demand management (TDM) and air quality improvement. She highlighted some ongoing programs they plan to keep, such as the popular "Pass2Class" program. She also mentions the Street Smarts Diablo program, the ebike rebate program, and the school bus program in Swat, which have separate funding.
Ms. Riker introduced a new program idea called the "$511 Spare the Air Transit Challenge". This program includes a $511 prize for a transit rider each week and aims to replace some existing incentives.
Ms. Riker discussed the benefits of the new program, including verifiable trip data, potential for increased transit ridership, and support for transitioning from plastic Clipper cards to mobile Clipper usage. The program offers incentives for existing and new transit users and also supports seasonal programs such as Bike to Work Day, back-to-school carpool promotion, and walking and biking challenges.
Commissioner Obringer expressed gratitude for the continuation of the e-bike rebate program but asked whether there is data on which parts of the county, particularly in the Concord area and the Monument community, are benefiting from the program. Ms. Riker responded that they have robust data on the program. She mentioned that the program has offered varying rebate amounts for different income levels and regions, such as the Monument corridor, which has taken advantage of the program that is wrapping up in May.
9.3.f
Packet Pg. 97
Commissioner Obringer then asked about the program's future plans and the approval process.
She and others, including Commissioner Carlson and Commissioner Noack, discussed the policy and its impact on equity across different regions, sub-regions, and county-wide projects. They expressed concerns about balancing cost-effectiveness and supporting beneficial community programs. The conversation also touched on the need to evaluate projects on a case-by-case basis, as well as consider cost-effectiveness while preserving innovative approaches and community benefits.
Ultimately, the discussion highlighted the challenges in balancing various priorities, such as equitable funding distribution, cost-effectiveness, and support for community-oriented projects.
The conversation concluded with an agreement to continue at a later meeting.
7. Innovate 680 – Automated Driving System Project Status Update Due to scheduling constraints, this item will be carried forward to a future meeting.
8. TRANSPAC CCTA Representative Reports.
During the meeting, Commissioner Noack discussed several topics related to transportation legislation and upcoming projects. She discussed SB 1031, the now merged Senate Bill that will enable MTC to release a measure for transportation starting as early as 2026. This bill merged the transportation funding bill authored by Senator Wiener with a bill introduced by Senator Wahab, creating a required consolidation plan and follow-up requirements.
Commissioner Noack also mentioned her involvement in discussions about the distribution of funds, emphasizing the need for sufficient return to source funding to handle safe streets and first and last mile projects within counties. The bill is in its third or fourth version and continues to be fine-tuned.
Commissioner Carlson inquired about the bill's progress in committees, and Commissioner Noack confirmed that the bill will be reviewed in upcoming committee meetings, including transportation and revenue and taxation.

4. TRANSPAC Measure J Line 20A Lapsed Programming Commitment.
Matt Todd introduced the item and outlined the lapsed Measure J Line 20a agreements and unclaimed funding in the amount of $239,266. Mr. Todd also reviewed the suggested programming policies to aid in the timely utilization of funding which are outlined in the accompanying staff report.
Commissioner Noack raised several questions regarding the funding agreements, asking if they were on a yearly or two-year cycle. Mr. Todd clarified that the programs are approved for two years, and the funding is provided accordingly. Commissioner Noack suggested that the contract should specify a timeframe for submitting reimbursement requests to ensure compliance and streamline the process. She proposed a policy where any unrequested reimbursement funds at the end of the year would be returned to the 20a fund.
Commissioner Carlson and Commissioner Haskew supported the idea of incorporating these policies into the funding agreements. Commissioner Carlson emphasized the need for clear deadlines to avoid funds being unutilized for extended periods. He also highlighted the importance of collaborating with CCTA to integrate these policies into their agreements.
Commissioner Noack suggested conducting an off-year cleanup of the funds to maintain a steady flow of resources and avoid large fluctuations. She noted that due to COVID-19, there might be leftover funds from 2020 and 2021, which should be addressed.
Mr. Todd provided an overview of the current funding status, indicating a carryover balance and reserves. He mentioned that the upcoming programming cycle would have additional funds due to higher-than-expected Measure J collections. However, he agreed to provide a more detailed accounting of the funds, including encumbered amounts, for better transparency and planning.
Commissioner Noack directed attention to the recommendation on page 33 and sought approval to unencumber $239,000 into the Measure J Line 20A program funds. Commissioner Obringer inquired whether this decision would impact the next agenda item concerning the draft 20a programming recommendation for the next cycle. Commissioner Noack confirmed they were separate issues: first approving the fund retraction and then discussing its allocation.
9.3.g
Packet Pg. 101
3 Commissioner Carlson agreed with the proposed policy, suggesting a reimbursement submission deadline within four months of the project’s end date, contrasting with the previous six-month suggestion. Commissioner Haskew supported this shorter timeframe, emphasizing the importance of keeping entities accountable. Commissioner Obringer also supported four months, noting the need to maintain prompt processing.
Mr. Todd and Commissioner Noack discussed the alignment of budgeting timelines with the proposed deadlines, concluding that a four-month window for receipt submission would fit the overall schedule without affecting decision processes. Commissioner Noack reiterated that this change aims to streamline fund management and avoid delays.
Commissioner Carlson proposed formalizing the motion to implement the four-month reimbursement deadline, roll the $239,000 into the Measure J Line 20A funds, and incorporate the updated policies into future contracts. Commissioner Noack confirmed this inclusion, adding that contracts would now mandate semi-annual reimbursement requests and enforce a fourmonth final submission period.
On a motion by Commissioner Carlson, seconded by Commissioner Obringer to release the encumbrance on the unexpended Measure J Line 20a funds from expired funding agreements from 2018 and earlier that will allow that balance to be considered in the 2024-2025 & 2025- 2026 programming cycle. This action will authorize additional Line 20a program policies to promote the timely use of funds, including: require that Line 20a program recipients submit a reimbursement request to CCTA at a minimum of every 6 months; at the time of programming, establish a project end date for expensed to be incurred; and require execution of a funding agreement within 120 days of program approval. The item was approved by unanimous vote of the members present (Noack, Obringer, Ross, Haskew, Carlson)
5. Measure J Line 20a FUNDS PROGRAM – FY 2024/2025 AND FY 2025/2026 Programming Cycle.
Tiffany Gephart introduced the item and noted that nine program applications were received from eight project sponsors. The scoring committee reviewed these applications over three sessions in March and April. The programs are requesting approximately 1.5 million in funding and propose to complete nearly 45,000 trips in the TRANSPAC aera starting in the FY 24-25 programming year.
Ms. Gephart outlined the scoring criteria used to evaluate the applications, and noted that the committee chose to rank the programs high, medium, and low. High-ranked programs met both basic and equity criteria, medium-ranked programs met basic criteria but not as many equity criteria, and low-ranked programs met the criteria overall to a lesser extent.
9.3.g
Packet Pg. 102
4 Initial rankings led to three funding scenarios:
1. Scenario 1: Funds all programs at 85%.
2. Scenario 2: Funds high-ranked programs at 100%, medium at 70%, and low at 60%.
3. Scenario 3: Combines high and medium at 88% and low at 75%.
Scenario 2 was preferred by the Scoring Committee due to its alignment with the initial rankings.
However, based on the previous Board action, which authorized the reallocation of unspent Measure J funding to the current program and added additional projected Measure J funding to the fund estimate, staff recommended to fully fund the top 8 project requests for the next cycle and provide approximately $64,000 to Choice in Aging that would leave that project request with a shortfall of $52,000.
Commissioner Obringer inquired about a specific financial detail on page 43 of the packet and noted the absence of a new total. Ms. Gephart clarified that the new information was provided as a handout, separate from the packet, which included only the data agreed upon by the scoring committee.
Mr. Todd explained that the handout included newly discussed funds. He clarified that the additional $239,000 discussed was not considered during the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting because they were only aware of $1.2 million being available at that time.
Commissioner Noack mentioned that staff recommended the "total request" column over the "preferred scenario" column, with some adjustments. Ms. Gephart confirmed that this new option was now available.
Commissioner Obringer asked if the newly available funds were immediately accessible. Mr. Todd confirmed that the $239,000 was previously allocated to programmed projects but was now available for reprogramming due to the board's prior actions.
Commissioner Carlson inquired about the source of an additional $32,500. Mr. Todd explained that this came from higher-than-expected Measure J revenue, which is projected to exceed initial estimates.
Commissioner Noack and Commissioner Haskew debated whether to use the additional $239,000 entirely this year or spread it over multiple cycles to ensure consistent funding levels.
Commissioner Noack suggested two cycles, while Commissioner Haskew proposed three.
Mr. Todd mentioned that the funds are projected to grow over time and that there is already some conservatism in the $600,000 annual allocation and that the overall program receives around $120 million annually. He further noted that if the Measure J program collects more, such as $123 million this year, there will be additional funds to consider.
9.3.g
Packet Pg. 103
5 Commissioner Carlson supported fully funding the total request column, acknowledging that there would always be more requests than available funds. Commissioner Obringer expressed concern about managing expectations, suggesting that while the current need is high, it should be clearly communicated that such additional funds might not be available in the future.
The discussion concluded with a consensus to proceed with the total fund request while maintaining transparency about the temporary nature of the additional funds. The Board also considered implementing a policy to automatically allocate a percentage of any carryover funds to reserves.
Mr. Todd highlighted that better real-time tracking of fund usage would be enabled by new policies, ensuring efficient fund management. Finally, the committee agreed to fully fund the top requests as outlined, including partially funding Choice in Aging.
On a motion by Commissioner Carlson seconded by Commissioner Obringer to approve the Draft FY 2024-2025 & FY 2025-2026 Measure J Line 20a Fund Program and release for comment.
This action authorizes the use of Measure J Line 20a unclaimed funding in the amount of $239,266 and anticipated additional Measure J revenue in the amount of $32,500 for the upcoming cycle. The item was approved by unanimous vote of the members present (Noack, Obringer, Ross, Haskew, Carlson).
6. TRANSPAC/511 Contra Costa Transportation Demand Management Proposal for the FY 2024-2025 Transportation Fund for Clean Air Funding Cycle.
Mr. Todd presented details about the TDM 511CC program, which aims to reduce greenhouse gases and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The TRANSPAC TDM program is funded by Measure J and TFCA funds and managed by a consultant designated by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA). The recent focus has been on a new TFCA programming policy which will also include a competitive call for projects process.
Mr. Todd noted that the final policy and process have not yet been approved, but there is an expectation of an upcoming call for projects. Mr. Todd commented that countywide programs will receive priority funding, with TRANSPAC receiving a portion of the remaining funds for local initiatives. An equity formula will ensure fair distribution of funds, allowing TRANSPAC to both contribute to and benefit from countywide programs.
Mr. Todd highlighted the need to outline the desired outcomes for TRANSPAC-specific programs, preparing for the potential application process. The proposal includes expanding the successful pilot "Active4me" program from Pleasant Hill Elementary to more schools in the TRANSPAC region. Additionally, funds will support community engagement activities, such as attending farmers markets and employer events, ensuring the program's visibility and effectiveness.

6 Commissioner Noack raised concerns about the visibility and effectiveness of countywide programs like the guaranteed ride home program. She emphasized the need for these programs to be truly countywide, with better communication and presence in the TRANSPAC area.
Commissioner Noack highlighted the importance of ensuring that TRANSPAC's funds are used effectively, without being overshadowed by countywide programs that might not benefit the area directly. She questioned the cost-effectiveness of certain programs, particularly the "big win" incentive, which she believes favors existing commuters over new ones.
Commissioner Obringer questioned the definition of "countywide" programs and their actual reach, particularly for those managed by West County (WCCTAC). Mr. Todd clarified that programs like vanpooling and the guaranteed ride home are technically available countywide but managed from specific locations. He emphasized the role of 511CC in marketing these programs through various channels, including social media and community events.
Ms. Riker highlighted the challenges in marketing countywide programs, despite having a substantial newsletter readership. She stressed the need for cities to help disseminate information through their channels to increase program awareness.
Commissioner Noack and Commissioner Obringer discussed the potential for TRANSPAC to provide input on the prioritization of countywide programs and the use of local funds. They emphasized the need for TRANSPAC to have a clear understanding of its financial contribution and decision-making power to effectively advocate for its needs and ensure the costeffectiveness of funded programs.
Commissioner Obringer raised a concern about TRANSPAC's role in determining certain programs' fate. Commissioner Obringer questioned if there's disagreement about whether CCTA should ensure the continuity of these programs or if there's a lack of enthusiasm for the 511CC big win incentive, what influence would TRANSPAC have. Mr. Todd notes that, based on his interpretation, it appears that TRANSPAC primarily decides on Measure J 17 funds which implies that this discussion falls more within the purview of CCTA, particularly concerning the evaluation of whether these programs are suitable for retention.
Mr. Todd acknowledged that the discussion was proactive and that no immediate action was required. He suggested waiting for further direction from CCTA.
Commissioner Obringer asked about the timeline for revisiting the discussion. Commissioner Noack indicated uncertainty about the agenda schedule, possibly June or July, but noted other priorities like redefining mobility.
Commissioner Obringer suggested that a letter from TRANSPAC to CCTA could be beneficial.
Commissioner Noack agreed, mentioning that TRANSPAC Board members could communicate their stance. Commissioner Carlson added that having a consensus would strengthen their position.
9.3.g
Packet Pg. 105
7 Commissioner Obringer sought clarification on the concerns presented at the CCTA meeting.
Commissioner Noack explained that issues included evaluating the cost-effectiveness of programs like 511CC and making decisions on countywide programs, particularly regarding the allocation of funds and participation.
Commissioner Carlson highlighted concerns about prioritizing countywide programs over local benefits. Commissioner Noack summarized that the primary issues were cost-effectiveness and the distribution of funds, which were still unresolved.
Commissioner Haskew predicted that feedback from all RTPCs would prompt CCTA to reconsider their approach. She emphasized the importance of re-evaluating the proposed programs' countywide applicability.
Commissioner Carlson expressed frustration over the lack of recognition for TRANSPACadministered programs in CCTA's presentation, a sentiment shared by Commissioner Haskew.
Commissioner Noack concluded that TRANSPAC would await CCTA's clarification before revisiting the topic, reassuring that TRANSPAC's vocal representation in CCTA would ensure their concerns were addressed.
Commissioner Carlson noted that while cost-effectiveness is generally a reliable measure for programs like TFCA funds, exceptions exist where programs with significant ancillary benefits may not meet strict cost-effectiveness criteria. The discussion on cost-effectiveness included examples like wet gas scrubbers in refineries, which, despite high costs, were deemed necessary.
7. TRANSPAC Workplan and Budget Process for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
Mr. Todd provided a summary of the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, highlighting key items such as Managing Director administrative support, audit costs, and the maintenance of the Pacheco Park and Ride Transit hub. He noted a proposed 3.7% increase in member fees, aligning with Measure J growth and that the budget would be brought back for approval at the next meeting.
Commissioner Noack invited questions, then transitioned to TRANSPAC CCTA representative reports.
8. TRANSPAC CCTA Representative Reports.
Commissioner Haskew summarized the Planning Commission's updates, mentioning the Community-Based Transportation Plan and the approval of the Growth Management Program Compliance Checklist. The discussion highlighted the inclusion of new areas like Rodeo and East Antioch in the plan, aimed at integrating low-income communities into the transportation system.
9.3.g

8 Commissioner Haskew provided an update from the APC meeting. The meeting included a legislative update, which continued from the CCTA meeting but focused more on what was relevant to CCTA. There was also an update on the external affairs department and efforts to raise awareness about CCTA's accomplishments. Despite being internationally and nationally recognized, the local community remained largely unaware of CCTA. Additionally, an organizational study of CCTA was underway to assess how the departments were structured, considering the need for a additional employees and potential realignment of responsibilities.
Commissioner Carlson added that CCTA, in partnership with others, hosted a "Redefining Mobility" event in San Ramon, where they unveiled the Glydways car, which will operate from Brentwood to the Antioch BART station on a dedicated path. The event also covered topics such as micro-transit, autonomous vehicles, and first-and-last-mile transportation solutions, drawing significant international and national interest.
Commissioner Obringer shared an upcoming event at the Concord Senior Center on Saturday, June 15, 2024, where community members can meet with Brookfield to learn about the planning process for the Naval Weapons Station. The event will feature various stations for engagement without a formal program.

SERVICES WITH CONTRA COSTA HEALTH SERVICES, HEALTH,

HOMELESS OUTREACH SERVICES THROUGH THE COUNTY'S
COORDINATED OUTREACH, REFERRAL, AND ENGAGEMENT
(CORE) PROGRAM
SYNOPSIS
Homelessness continues to be a significant issue facing communities throughout Contra Costa County. The number of Police Department calls for service devoted to homeless-related issues are disproportionate compared to other calls for service. In order to address this issue, the Police Department devotes a significant amount of time and resources to help mitigate this increasing societal concern. Historically, the City staff has sought long-term solutions to address the multifaceted issues surrounding homelessness, though the cost of solutions often exceeds available City resources.
The cities of Pleasant Hill and Martinez were the first cities to enter an exclusive partnership with the County for Coordinated Outreach, Referral, and Engagement (CORE) services in April 2017. Since that time, the CORE Program has been operating in Pleasant Hill by deploying a two-person team with the goal of permanent housing for the homeless individuals living in Pleasant Hill.
DISCUSSION
Background
Homelessness and the surrounding issues remain complicated, social problems requiring a multifaceted approach. Staff do not have sufficient resources to address the complex issues and needs associated with the homeless community. Consequently, staff proposes to continue the partnership with the Contra Costa County Division of Health, Housing, and Homeless Services.
The partnership will continue the focus on identifying the needs of the homeless, providing the appropriate services, facilitating a path to long-term housing, and addressing the overall quality of life concerns impacting our community.
9.5 Packet Pg. 109
Analysis
Over the past fiscal year, the Pleasant Hill CORE team provided services to 256 homeless individuals during 956 interactions in Pleasant Hill. The CORE team also moved 142 homeless individuals off the streets of Pleasant Hill and into shelter or permanent housing. These rendered services would not otherwise have been possible without collaboration with CORE.
Through consistent communication, contact, and interventions, the CORE outreach specialists continue to develop relationships that have allowed them to engage individuals who have previously been reluctant to receive services. This approach has proven to be successful for the community over the past year.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total project cost for the County to provide a dedicated part-time CORE Team (20 hours per week) to the City of Pleasant Hill is $140,733 annually. Funding in the amount of $140,733 is requested from the General Fund unassigned fund balance to cover this cost.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department.
The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement for Professional Services between the City of Pleasant Hill and the Contra Costa Health Services, Health, Housing, and Homeless Services Division.
ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City will utilize internal resources to address homeless-related concerns.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: July 15, 2024
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ___-24 ACCEPTING FUNDS AND
AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURES FROM THE CALIFORNIA
SUPPLEMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES ACCOUNT (SLESA)
SYNOPSIS
The purpose of this item is to accept Fiscal Year 2024-25 grant funds and authorize the recommended use of grant funds from the California Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA), formerly known as “Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund” (SLESF).
DISCUSSION
Background
In 1996, California state legislation (AB 3229) created the Citizens Options for Public Safety (COPS) program, allocating a minimum of $100,000 to eligible local governments yearly for frontline law enforcement services. These funds are distributed through the SLESA. The funds cannot be used to supplant resources, but instead must be used to supplement existing resources or funding. SLESA funds can be used for salaries, services, supplies, equipment, and administrative overhead. SLESA funds cannot be diverted into an entity’s general fund and must be used for the aforementioned front-line law enforcement services. The total award to each recipient is proportionate to the population, with the minimum award for all entities set at $100,000 yearly.
The Pleasant Hill 2024-25 fiscal year award is $186,000. Enabling legislation specifies a city council must appropriate funds as specified in the written request of the entity’s chief of police.
Funds are distributed from the State to the County, which then distributes the funds to the City.
Analysis
The Police Department’s proposed use of SLESA funds in Fiscal Year 2024-25 will go toward funding the following items:
Automated License Plate Reader and Real Time Information Center Cameras
10.1 Packet Pg. 127
Expansion of the current Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) program. ALPR captures digital images of vehicle license plates as they pass the reader camera. Any license plate matched to a license plate in the system’s database is reported in real-time to law enforcement. This information enables officers to act based on the data type received. ALPR systems are very effective in locating and recovering stolen vehicles, alerting law enforcement officers to vehicles wanted in connection with other crimes, and obtaining investigative data that assist law enforcement in investigating and solving criminal cases. This technology is one of many programs designed to keep the City of Pleasant Hill safe and prevent property crimes.
In addition, the City of Pleasant Hill is home to many retail establishments that could be targets for organized retail theft and other crimes. It is imperative that the Police Department leverage additional resources to supplement our current community-oriented policing model with a technology-driven policing approach to reducing crime. Adding live stream pan tilt zoom video cameras in fixed key locations will provide greater deterrence, coverage, and more detailed information for law enforcement to prevent crime, increase public safety, and solve cases. In addition, this added technology can be utilized to assess and respond to traffic related issues and accidents. It can also be used as a component of the City’s Emergency Operation Center.
The Police Department requests a commitment of $24,000 from SLESA funds to purchase ALPR equipment and real-time information center cameras.
Dispatch Supervisor Position
Until 2019, the supervision of the professional staff in the Support Services Division fell to a single civilian supervisor, but because of the ongoing changes and significantly increased work requirements, it was no longer feasible to have a single supervisor oversee the numerous employees and job functions. Consequently, this led to a reorganization of the Services Division and the recommendation of a new Dispatch Supervisor position. The Police Department requests a commitment of $20,000 from SLESA funds to offset the cost of this position.
Secondary Dispatch Room Furniture & Carpeting
The Police Department’s large secondary dispatch room in the front office contains three dispatch stations with supportive seating and motorized monitor/data entry desks to provide an ergonomic workspace. The motorized work desks have been essential components of this workspace as dispatchers have options for various work postures, both standing and sitting. The existing motorized desks are old, and one has become inoperable. In addition, new lower-profile computer storage cabinetry can hold all essential equipment while allowing for less clutter in the confined space of the secondary dispatch room. Finally, the secondary dispatch room’s old antistatic carpeting is heavily worn and needs replacement. The Police Department requests a commitment of $60,000 from SLESA funds to cover the cost of new furniture and electrostaticreducing carpeting in the secondary dispatch room.
Data Integration Platform
10.1 Packet Pg. 128
The Police Department is committed to enhancing technology that enables staff to provide a higher quality level of service and increased public safety. The evolving demands of police work have increased the burden on staff to efficiently access multiple data sets and analyze that data quickly. This is true not only of sworn personnel during criminal investigations, but also with professional staff fulfilling Public Records Act (PRA) and subpoena requests and general records management. The Police Department has recognized the need for efficient information delivery to enhance public safety. This has become increasingly challenging as rapid technological changes and staff relying on technology services have impacted workflow and efficiency, creating a need for a data integration platform.
The Police Department is seeking a Data Integration Platform that provides a single point of access to quickly view and analyze large-scale data from various internal data sources into useful analysis products and significantly reduces staffing time. Data Integration Platforms are currently used by other law enforcement agencies in Contra Costa County, including the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office. These agencies can also seamlessly and securely share/exchange information. The Police Department requests a commitment of $57,000 from SLESA funds to cover the cost of a Data Integration Platform.
Police Department Sign and Electronic Message Board
During the completion of the Civic Drive and Taylor Boulevard intersection upgrade project, the old and deteriorated Police Department sign structure had to be removed. The Police Department needs a new sign structure with an electronic message board, like the one in front of City Hall, which will allow the City and the Police Department to communicate notifications and public outreach information more effectively to the general public. The proposed electronic message sign will replace the existing A-frame signs currently used for public noticing purposes at the Police Department. The Police Department requests a commitment of $25,000 from SLESA funds to cover half the cost of an electronic message board.
FISCAL IMPACT
No general fund fiscal impact is anticipated. By statute, funds from SLESA may not be combined with general fund accounts. The use and administration of SLESA grant funds require minimal staff time to manage. The Finance Department has confirmed funds exist in the SLESA account to cover all recommended expenditures.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department.
The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution accepting the grant and the proposed use of funds.
10.1 Packet Pg. 129
ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Council could direct staff to not accept the grant or revise the list of recommended items.
