NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits on January 12, 2021, hold a public hearing to consider:
A rezone (RZ 20-006) to amend Section 17.030.030 (Definitions) and Section 17.100.005 (Accessory Dwelling Units), Section 17.100.005 (Accessory Dwelling Units), and Section 17.620.007 (Off-Street Parking Spaces Required - Residential Zones) of the Brentwood Municipal Code related to accessory dwelling units, updating the City’s ordinance to comply with recent changes in State legislation and implement Government Code Section 65852.2. Zoning ordinance amendments to conform to Government Code Section 65852.2 are statutorily exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code Section 21080.17. In addition, amendments to conform to Section 65852.22 are exempt under the common sense exemption, found at CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment, in that junior accessory dwelling units under Section 65852.22 will have no greater impact on the environment than those associated with the residence to which such units will added. On December 1, 2020, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the draft ordinance and unanimously adopted Resolution No. 20-044, recommending the City Council approve the draft ordinance. Applicant: City of Brentwood
Consistent with Contra Costa County Health orders, and in accordance with California Government Code Section 54953(b) and Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-29-20 concerning teleconference meetings, this City Council meeting will be held exclusively via teleconference, using the WebEx video conferencing system. At the time of the hearing, all interested persons are invited to appear and be heard. Due to the virtual nature of this meeting, you may participate via any of the following options: 1.

The meeting host will call on you, by name, and enable your video, if desired to be enabled, and microphone when it is your turn to speak. In order to ensure the orderly administration of the meeting using this method, providing your name is encouraged, but is not required. (If you need instructions on how to use this feature, please contact the City Clerk by noon of the meeting date at cityclerk@brentwoodca.gov or 925.516.5182.)
2. Telephone
If you wish to comment during the meeting via telephone, you may “raise your hand” virtually on most devices by pressing *3, and you will be called upon when it is your time to speak. After speaking, please press *3 again to remove the “raise your hand” feature. If that feature does not work on your device, please email cityclerk@brentwoodca.gov in advance of the meeting where possible. The request must contain in the subject line “Request to Speak - Agenda Item #” and include name and full phone number that will be used to call in. In order to ensure the orderly administration of the meeting using this method, providing your name is encouraged, but is not required.
3. E-mail
While the County Health order to shelter at one’s place of residence is effective, public comments can also be submitted via e-mail to cityclerk@brentwoodca.gov. Any public comments received up until one hour prior to the meeting will be: • distributed to the Council via email, • posted online for public inspection within one day following the meeting with the agenda packet, and • later summarized in the meeting minutes. The City cannot guarantee that its network, website, and/or the WebEx system will be uninterrupted. To ensure that the City Council receives your comments prior to taking action, you are strongly
encouraged to submit them
in advance of the meeting. As e-mails containing public meeting comments are part of the official record, note that personal contact information (potentially including email addresses) may be published if it is included with your e-mail. If you challenge this action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Brentwood City Council at, or prior to, the public hearing.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 5200 ROUNDUP WAY, ANTIOCH, CA 94531 A.P.N.: 056-230-015 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 339,980.98. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2020-01522-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Rarey from page 1 begin doing the work of the people,” Rarey said Wednesday morning.
Newly elected District 3 Councilmember Susannah Meyer and District 1 Councilmember Jovita Mendoza pushed for Rarey’s appointment, but a council consensus didn’t materialize until Vice Mayor Johnny Rodriguez broke a stalemate by agreeing to appoint Rarey, minutes after he voted against the idea and in favor of an application/appointment process.
Rodriguez said that his reversal was to avoid a costly special election, which state law dictates had to occur if the council had not come to a consensus by early February.
“I don’t feel comfortable spending $200,000 to $280,000 on a special election,” he said. “We have businesses, we have families that are suffering, we have other things that we can do with that type of money … I do want to say, though, that I am not comfortable with taking the second mayor votegetter, but I am also not comfortable taking money from the people.”
Mayor Joel Bryant, who also initially favored an application/appointment process, flipped to favor Rarey’s appointment, noting that his vote in favor of Rarey was an effort to move forward in unity and do what was best for the community.
There have been an estimated 18 council vacancies in the city, dating back to 1949, with 16 filled by appointments. At least two of those 16 appointments went to the nexthighest vote-getter, city officials said.
Rarey’s appointment appears to align with a city-initiated community survey that found that 66% of 2,956 participants favored appointing the second-highest-voted mayoral candidate in the November election. About 20% of respondents favored an interview/appointment process at a public meeting, and 14% an all-mail-ballot special election.
Mendoza, an analytics manager, said those results spoke for themselves.
Meyer said the mass amount of resident support for Rarey sealed her decision. “I think the fact that our residents have spoken out as many times as they have, and the amount of numbers that they have, I could not live with myself, I could not go to sleep at night if I didn’t respect their voices,” she said.
Residents continued to speak out in support of Rarey this week.
“Karen has always exhibited a keen sense of objectivity; does her research; benchmarks against best practices and other cities and often changes council action for the better,” said resident Kathy Griffin.
Fellow resident Sandra Myers agreed.
Rarey said she was overwhelmed with the community’s support, and she looks forward to getting back to work.
COVID-19 from page 1
As the Bay Area’s ICU capacity has not yet recovered, it is likely that the order will be extended into the foreseeable future.
Hospitalizations in the county remain near peak levels. As of Dec. 29, 247 patients are hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 infections. The peak to date occurred Dec. 27 at 257 patients.
There have been 39,376 confirmed COVID-19 infections in the county with 331 related deaths. Nearly half of those deaths were residents of a long-term care facility.
As an indicator of how quickly the pandemic has grown recently, the City of Brentwood has reported 1,944 cases since the start of the pandemic in March. Of those, 23% of the cases have been reported in just the last two weeks. Similar patterns of infection rates have been observed in Oakley where 26% of the total cases have occurred in the last 14 days, and Discovery Bay where 27% of its cases have been recorded in the same period.
Newsom announced Monday that California has opted in to the federal COVID-19 Pharmacy Partnership. Under this partnership, CVS and Walgreens will administer the Pfizer vaccine to residents and staff in long-term care facilities. Those pharmacies will start with nursing homes, which will take an estimated three to four weeks, and then vaccinate staff and residents in assisted living, residential care and other long-term care facilities. Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and nurses will administer the vaccines. Pharmacy technicians are participating under a recent waiver by the Board of Pharmacy that requires appropriate supervision under California law and specialized training.
“Vaccinating those most vulnerable among us is critical to fighting this virus,” Newsom said. “By leveraging CVS and Walgreens resources, we can effectively deploy vaccines to residents and staff at our long-term care facilities, which are at higher risk of COVID transmission — and do it at no cost to the state or local government.”
Williams from page 1 sire to help those struggling amid the pandemic, launching her Neighbors Helping Neighbors East County Facebook group that simply asks those needing help to post in the group so others can answer the call.
Now that Williams is fully involved in the city’s direction after nabbing one of three up-for-grab council seats, she believes a better Oakley is one in which residents don’t need to commute to San Francisco or San Jose for work; the city does its part to support the fire district; the council fully evaluates every proposed development project; unique small businesses open, drawing visitors from near and far; and children have as many resources as the city can provide.
She believes all that can materialize as the city continues to run its required lean budget, with employees often juggling multiple jobs out of necessity.
“I appreciate a city that can run a nice lean budget and people will step out of their regular role just to get something done, and I think now as a city council, we need to make sure that is happening across the board with everything,” Williams said.
New Oakley Mayor Sue Higgins said she welcomes Williams and fellow newcomers Aaron Meadows and George Fuller, applauding their eagerness to learn early on.
Williams said she expects the trio of new councilmembers to bring a fresh perspective to the city’s future, something residents clearly wanted.
She encourages all residents to speak up early and often to help the council serve its constituents. The first council meeting of the new year is set for Jan. 12, at 6:30 p.m.
