Council to Allocate $19M in Federal Funds At public meetings this spring, the City Council is scheduled to consider community and staff recommendations for how Concord can best utilize $19 million of one-time federal recovery funding. Council will receive a report summarizing the significant feedback that residents, businesses, and nonprofit organizations have provided through surveys, community meetings, and direct correspondence. They are expected to consider and allocate the funding before June 30. The funding, which is a result of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) passed by Congress last spring, is intended to help communities recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. To learn more and to subscribe to news alerts for the latest on ARPA and budget-related information, please visit: cityofconcord.org/ARPA.

Redistricting Process Concludes with Updated District Map Following four public hearings, two workshops, and significant community outreach which began in fall 2021, Concord's Redistricting process is nearly complete. During the process, the City received draft maps from members of the public and many ideas from the public about boundaries and neighborhoods of concern. Council also weighed in, providing direction to the City’s independent demographer in a series of public meetings. Based on the public and Council feedback, 11 draft plans were created and shared on the City’s website and, after more public input, they were further refined for public review. At its March 1 hearing, Council received additional public feedback and provided further direction to the demographer, who was asked to provide a final version for review (pictured here with corresponding demographic information). At press time, the final map was expected to be approved by the City Council at a public hearing scheduled for April 5. Final maps are due to Contra Costa County by April 17, and the updated districts will be used for the City’s elections until they are updated again based on the 2030 census. Once finalized, the new district map will be posted to the City’s web page: cityofconcord.org/redistricting.

Construction Projects to Commence With the construction season of 2022 about to kick off, major arterial rehabilitation residents will see their Measure V dollars going to work coming in 2023. These projects again on Concord’s roadways. Starting this spring, look are all part of the City’s goal for for pavement rehabilitation in the “Woodside” neigh“smart” signals to help better borhood, northeast of Oak Grove Rd and Treat Blvd. manage traffic flow. Next, the long-awaited East and Grant streets – Complete Streets project includes repaving from Salvio Street to under CA-242 at Solano Way, as well as adding bike lanes and green infrastructure improvements. In the summer, pothole and base repairs on Bates Ave and Port Chicago Hwy north of State Hwy 4 will significantly improve road conditions at this gateway to Concord’s thriving industrial commercial area. Throughout 2022, Measure V also enables upgrades to the City’s traffic signals and fiber backbone as part of the Broadband Master Plan, and in anticipation of

6 SUMMER 2022 

Lastly, in the fall, another round of Citywide pothole and base repairs will address “patch paving” along many of Concord’s heaviest traveled roadways, improving the ride quality for all our residents, businesses, and visitors. As a sneak preview of coming attractions, currently design is underway on six major residential pavement maintenance projects and three major arterial rehabilitations, including Treat Blvd, all scheduled for construction in 2023.

Council Prioritizes Fiscal Stability, Roadway Maintenance, and Homeless Services Since the Great Recession of 2007-09 took a severe toll on the American economy, the City of Concord has been focused on economic recovery and long-term fiscal stability that would not only enable it to continue providing essential services, but would replenish and strengthen its reserve to weather any future storm. The COVID-19 pandemic was that storm, and Concord braced for the inevitable drop in revenue. Fiscal Year 2019-20 General Fund revenues were anticipated to come in $6.2 million lower than expected, so Council made the tough decision to stabilize the budget through reserve spending and deep cuts to the FY 2020-21 budget. Fortunately, FY21 revenues came in higher than anticipated, and the City ended the year with a $10.5 million budget residual in the General Fund, and a $3.6 million residual for Measure V, Concord’s voter-approved sales tax. These are one-time funds that the Council allocated during its March 8, 2022 regular meeting. In addition, the recent meeting served as a mid-year budget update, and FY22 revenues are also coming in higher than projected. The budget residuals and the higher current-year revenues also enabled the City

Council to make some much needed investments in restoring the City’s reserves, service levels, roads and infrastructure, homeless services, and paying down unfunded liabilities. Recognizing that the Concord’s staffing levels are at their lowest level in decades, Council funded the return of 17 essential positions across the City. These positions will stabilize City operations and allow for the return of certain services that were reduced during the pandemic, such as re-opening the police department lobby, returning some code enforcement and parks programs, and addressing the backlogged maintenance needs of our parks, buildings, and roadways. Council also directed one-time dollars into the City’s five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which is a robust plan to invest in the significant improvement of Concord’s roads and infrastructure. While many major projects are currently in the design phase, construction will kick-off Citywide in spring of 2023. The Fiscal Years 2022-23; 2023-24 CIP will be reviewed by the community and Council in May and June of this year. Read the full article, with details about the City's investments in homeless services, at cityofconcord.org/ newsalerts.

Check Out Concord Library’s Novel Look

The Concord Library completed the Children's Area “Refresh” in January 2022. The project was a collaboration between the Contra Costa County Library and the City of Concord. New shelving, seating, and carpet were added in areas, and the room was painted in bright, colorful, and inviting colors. It also features an inclusive Holiday Collection that will continue to grow, highlighting important holidays like Ramadan, Passover, and Diwali.

Affordable Housing Project Secures Needed Funding Thanks to a grant from the state and funds that were previously allocated by the City of Concord, Resources for Community Development (RCD) has secured all necessary funding to move forward with the construction of Galindo Terrace, the 62-unit affordable housing project located at 1313-1321 Galindo Street.

Galindo Terrace, which is expected to break ground this summer, will house veterans, seniors, families, and people with disabilities. This project is also anticipated to provide job readiness programs to tenants and partner with the Veterans Administration to assist veterans.

In May 2019, the Concord City Council awarded $7.8 million to RCD to provide affordable housing to extremely low- and low-income households (30% to 80% of area median income). The City’s funds have leveraged an additional $56 million in County, State and private funds, despite recent funding impediments at the state and federal levels. The funds that were recently awarded by the state are part of the California Housing Accelerator, a $1.75 billion investment to provide bridge funding to shovel-ready projects.

White Pony Express Introduces Food Rescue App White Pony Express is on a mission to end hunger in Contra Costa County and now it’s easier than ever to volunteer with their brand-new White Pony Express app. This is a volunteer-powered, entirely new collection and distribution system for smaller, more frequent food donations. With the app, food donors can signal when they have excess food. An available “food runner” volunteer then picks up and delivers the food directly to a matching food recipient organization. White Pony Express hopes to use this app in part to respond to food outlets, such as restaurants, that are now required to recycle their food waste under the new California law (SB 1383), which went into effect Jan. 1. Also, under this law, by 2025, 20% of currently disposable food waste must be recovered for human consumption. Becoming a Food Rescue Hero is EASY as 1-2-3: 1.

DOWNLOAD the app and SIGN UP to be a Food Rescue Hero!

2. COMPLETE the online Food Safety Training. 3. CLAIM a "food run" via the app and off you go!

No long-term commitment is needed. In as little as an hour, you can make a difference by delivering surplus food to our neighbors in need. Food rescue prevents healthy, fresh food from being wasted by delivering it to families in need. If you are a local restaurant or catering company, you can set up regular or one-time food rescue pick-ups by contacting Pete at peterolsen@whiteponyexpress.org. Concord residents, including the city’s restaurants and other food establishments, are eligible to use this app.

Zonehaven Shares Real-Time Evacuation Information The Concord Police Department has partnered with the Contra Costa Fire Protection District to launch Zonehaven, a platform that allows residents to view real-time evacuation information, including evacuation routes, shelters, and resource centers in their immediate area. The map is updated in real time, so residents can check regularly for zone status information. Knowing what to do before, during, and after an emergency evacuation is critical to saving lives. And understanding your emergency zone is a valuable tool for emergency preparedness. During an emergency, residents of affected zones will be alerted using a variety of tools, including the county warning system, social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Nextdoor, and door-to-door warnings when possible. To learn more about Zonehaven and how it can help keep you and your family safe if evacuation is necessary, visit community.zonehaven.com. To sign up for alerts from Contra Costa County’s warning system, please visit cwsalerts.com.
