INTRODUCTION State law requires that Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCOs) conduct regional analysis of municipal services (Municipal Service Reviews, or MSRs) every five years or “as necessary” to support reviews of city, district and jurisdictional spheres of influence (SOIs).1 The Commission may assess options for improving effective infrastructure and service delivery within and contiguous to the agencies’ SOIs including, but not limited to, the consolidation or dissolution of agencies. MSRs provide a tool for LAFCOs to evaluate the adequacy of public service and providers, and to improve the organization and provision of services. MSRs support LAFCOs’ mission to plan and shape “the logical and orderly development and coordination of local governmental agencies.”2 Contra Costa LAFCO retained Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) and Berkson Associates (BA) to conduct the second round Parks and Recreation MSR for all jurisdictions providing park maintenance and/or recreation services in Contra Costa County. Legal Context & LAFCO Policies Contra Costa LAFCO (CC LAFCO) is required to prepare this MSR and SOI Update by the Cortese- Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code §56000, et seq.), which took effect on January 1, 2001. Pursuant to this legislation, CC LAFCO is required to conduct a comprehensive review of municipal service delivery and update the spheres of influence of all agencies under LAFCO’s jurisdiction. The MSR reviews services provided by public agencies—cities and special districts—whose boundaries and governance are subject to LAFCO. LAFCO Overview LAFCO regulates, through approval, denial, conditions and modification, boundary changes proposed by public agencies or individuals. It also regulates the extension of public services by cities and special districts outside their boundaries. LAFCO is empowered to initiate updates to the SOIs and proposals involving the dissolution or consolidation of special districts, mergers, establishment of subsidiary districts, formation of a new district or districts, and any reorganization including such actions. Otherwise, LAFCO actions must originate as petitions or resolutions from affected voters, landowners, or local agencies (i.e., counties, cities or districts). CC LAFCO was formed by the State legislature as a countywide agency to discourage urban sprawl and encourage the orderly formation and development of local government agencies. CC LAFCO consists of seven regular members: two members from the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, two City Council members appointed by the city selection committee, two independent special district members appointed by the independent special district selection committee, and one public member who is appointed by the other members of the Commission. 1 Government Code Section 56425 directs LAFCOs to review and update agencies’ SOIs, as necessary, every five years, and Section 56430 requires MSRs to be conducted before or in conjunction with the sphere updates. 2 Government Code Section 56425.

Overview of Jurisdictions The first-round parks and recreation MSR, prepared in 2010, reviewed the Recreation and Park Districts and the County Services Areas (CSAs) but not the cities or the Community Service Districts (CSDs). In addition, parks and recreation service providers in the County were evaluated in three Sub-Regional MSRs of jurisdictions in East, West, and Central Contra Costa County in 2008 and 2009 as well as in the MSR of city services in 2019.3 This comprehensive assessment of parks and recreation service providers in the County provides an evaluation of each recreation and park district, each city park and recreation department, and each CSA and CSD in Contra Costa County under LAFCO jurisdiction that provide recreation services, as shown in Table 2. 3 Contra Costa LAFCO, Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission Municipal Service Review Update, June 12, 2019.

Introduction Page 4 MSR Methodology Each park and recreation service provider was contacted and requested to provide information in a series of formatted tables that the consulting team pre-populated with data from websites and available supporting documents such as master plans, capital improvement programs, and budgets. EPS assembled the information into a Public Review Draft MSR with MSR determinations for each agency. In addition to a service review of all jurisdictions, this report also recommends updates to the spheres of influence of the Ambrose, Green Valley, and Pleasant Hill RPDs as well as the CSAs. The SOI for the cities and CSDs were updated in 2019 in conjunction with the “City Services” MSR. Map 1 shows the boundaries of all cities within the county and Map 2 depicts the boundaries of all RPDs, CSDs, and CSAs. Map 3 indicates the location of Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) and Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities (DUCs). Chapters were reviewed by each respective agency for technical accuracy and by LAFCO staff in advance of public distribution. Following revisions, LAFCO circulated a Draft MSR for public review and comment. This MSR was prepared following LAFCO public hearings, public comment, and direction from LAFCO. Note on Population and Growth Projections The population and growth projections of all cities as well as the East Bay Regional Park District, which encompasses both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, were derived from CA Department of Finance data for 2020 and Plan Bay Area forecasts. Plan Bay Area, is coordinated by the nine- county San Francisco Bay Area’s regional planning organizations, Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). The Plan Bay Area initiative is a detailed, long-range plan charting the course for the future of the region. The County overall anticipates population growth of 0.72% per year between 2020 and 2040. The 2020 and 2040 population for the CSDs, CSAs and the three other RPDs in this report were derived with input from Contra Costa County GIS specialists, based on a combination of data sources, including the CC LAFCO Directory, ESRI Business Analyst, and MTC’s Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs). TAZs are used by MTC to forecast population growth, economic growth, and transportation/transit capacity and responsiveness and then distribute those results throughout the region. The methodology and sources used to derive each special district’s current population and future growth estimates are described in greater detail in each respective chapter. As with all growth projections, it should be noted that these estimates are based on the best- known information at the time. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to impact future growth, however, the exact nature and scope of this impact remains uncertain. In addition to uncertainties regarding future growth, it should also be noted that the 2020 population estimates for the CSDs, CSAs, ARPD, GVRPD, and PHRPD are themselves based on 2010 Census figures. Given that the 2020 Census is currently underway, new benchmarks for actual 2020 population estimates will be released in the coming months, and there could be substantial shifts in population counts when the 2020 data is released.

Introduction Page 8 Best Practices Achieving transparency and public accountability standards dictates that cities and districts provide easily accessible and clear documentation of their activities, including planning and financial information. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) publishes a list of best practices and lists key documents that public agencies should be publishing regularly (see https://www.gfoa.org/best-practices). Transparency Websites - State law requires all agencies have a website (unless the agency makes findings of financial inability).4 Websites are increasingly the first place to go to find information about an agency or a district. Websites should provide information about the governance structure including the names and terms of Board members or commissioners, services provided, staff, and contact information. Websites should provide meeting schedules, agendas, and minutes.5 Copies of current and past budgets, financial statements and supplemental reports, and audits should be available as well. Planning Master Plans – Park and Recreation Master Plans are important tools to help communities’ vision and plan for the future, while engaging residents and stakeholders. Park and recreation districts and departments should periodically prepare and update their Master Plans to help guide future investment. Accounting and Financial Reporting Annual Budget – Budgets should provide a comprehensive and detailed view of the budget, including comparisons to recent years. Budget documents should include a “Fiscal Health Report” with an explanation of trends and conclusions regarding fiscal health. Financial Policies – Budgets should summarize policies for the establishment, maintenance and use of various General Fund and CIP reserves. Annual Audited Financial Statements – Financial statements should be prepared in a timely manner and provide a clear and comprehensive picture of agency financials consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Capital Improvement Program – A capital improvement program (CIP) with identified improvements, costs, and timeframe should be prepared, with some discussion of funding 4 On September 14, 2018, the Governor signed SB 929 which added Government Code Section 6270.6 and 53087.8 which required that every independent special district in California maintain a website by January 1, 2020. Exceptions can be made by districts facing hardship, as adopted by majority vote of those districts’ governing boards. The intent of the bill is to provide the public easily accessible and accurate information about the district. 5 AB 2257, approved on September 9, 2016, requires district and governmental websites to include Board meeting agendas for all meetings occurring on or after January 1, 2019.

Introduction Page 9 sources and funding priorities. The CIP can be a stand-alone report or it can be included in the budget documents. Cost of Service/Rate Studies –Fees and charges (e.g., facility rental rates and charges for recreation programs and classes) should be reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed. Impact of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic EPS prepared this report as the nation and world seek to address the coronavirus pandemic, an unprecedented public health crisis that spreads through community contact, particularly in indoor settings. Park and recreation facilities and services have been unevenly affected. On one hand, guidance to shelter in place is taking its toll and people are eager to get outside and explore and enjoy the regions parks. On the other hand, recreational programming is unadvised, and most programming has been cancelled entirely or severely curtailed. The data collection and analysis for this report commenced in January 2020, in the weeks preceding the severity of the crisis becoming apparent globally, but continued throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall – and continues today. By Summer 2020, given that the economic fallout was both significant and abrupt, it was clear that agencies would need additional time to respond to requests for data and information, and extensions were granted. Even with extensions, the length and severity of the coronavirus pandemic continues to be unknown, and the fiscal and service implications will depend fundamentally on how the crisis unfolds in the coming months and years. LAFCOs conducted planning and meetings virtually during the statewide shelter-in-place orders beginning in March 2020 and continue to work through issues of how LAFCO will resolve the legal mandate for meetings, quorums, etc. In addition, the LAFCO commissions around the state are discussing methods to address anticipated future funding shortfalls resulting from the pandemic. As of mid-2020, LAFCO commissions around the state have focused on the evolving role of LAFCO commissions as a result of this pandemic. LAFCOs are prepared to assist with mergers and dissolutions of jurisdictions that may no longer remain fiscally solvent or are unable to meet the service/program needs of their constituents. LAFCOs are also looking to expand their role as a resource and clearinghouse for public agencies as they deal with fiscal shortfalls, facility closures, social distancing measures and other restrictions to limit the spread of coronavirus. In general, in the first six months of the pandemic, as signs of economic distress ripple through many sectors, it is clear that public agencies will experience reduced revenues in the near term. The full implications and scope of fiscal shortfalls are unknown at this time. To the extent possible, the programmatic and fiscal implications of the pandemic for the subject jurisdictions of this MSR are further detailed within each jurisdiction’s chapter. Organization of the MSR This Introduction lays out the basic MSR framework, methodology, and report structure. To promote improved agency efficiency, service efficacy, and operational transparency, this chapter contains a discussion of “best practices” that highlight districts’ improvements and achievements since the 2010 MSR which noted several challenges.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW AND SOI SUMMARY Municipal Service Review Determinations The MSR analysis provides the basis for making determinations about the adequacy of facilities and services, governance structures and efficiencies, and opportunities for greater coordination and cooperation between park services/maintenance and recreation providers. The MSR determinations are prerequisites to sphere of influence (SOI) determinations and may lead to subsequent LAFCO and agency actions. Since preparation and LAFCO adoption of the 2010 MSR, most agencies have worked to address concerns and improve services and facilities as noted in the 2010 MSR. Notable exceptions, largely the result of growing populations, service demands, and lack of resources, are summarized here and more fully described in subsequent chapters containing agency-specific detail and determinations. 1. Growth and Population Projections This determination evaluates future growth and demand and whether agencies can adequately serve increased populations. a) Demand for park and recreation facilities and services is affected primarily by population growth. Overall, population in Contra Costa County is forecast to increase an average of 0.72% annually, with expected growth of approximately 15%, or 178,600 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 1.33 million people. This growth is primarily expected to occur in the incorporated cities, with population in the unincorporated portions of the County expected to decrease. b) Demand is also affected by growth among population segments with higher park visitation rates or programming needs such as younger and higher-income people, or seniors who avail themselves of recreation programming. Technical work completed as part of the County’s General Plan Update indicates that the share of residents under age 18 is declining, while the share of those 55 and older is increasing, influencing demand for programming and services focused on seniors. On average, unincorporated Contra Costa County households have higher incomes than the County overall or the Bay Area. The highest median household incomes in the County are found in the Lamorinda and San Ramon Valley subareas (Central County) and affect ability to pay for and fund recreation services and programs and community events.6 c) Many of the incorporated cities in the County are expected to be slower growth areas, with 12 of the 19 cities projected to have a lower compound annual population growth rate than the County-wide compound annual growth rate of 0.72% between 2020 and 2040. The bulk of the projected population increases over the next two decades are anticipated to occur within just a handful of cities, with 81% of the total projected population growth across all 19 Contra Costa cities attributable to just six cities (in order: Concord, Richmond, Brentwood, Antioch, Oakley, and Pittsburg). 6 Contra Costa County General Plan Update, Existing Conditions Technical Report: Market Overview, June 2018.

Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 12 d) Localized demand changes will primarily depend on specific development applications. For example, CSA-29 was formed specifically to address new growth in the Dougherty Valley Specific Plan Area and provide financing for park and recreation facility maintenance in the City of San Ramon. Also, in the next 20 years, the populations of Concord, Oakley and Brentwood are expected to increase by 39%, 45%, and 49%, respectively. e) Service population increases in each of the CSAs is expected to range from 0.12% per year to 0.57% per year. Service population increases in each of the CSDs is expected to range from 0.16% per year to 0.23% per year. In all cases, growth in the CSAs and CSDs is expected to be lower than the Countywide average of 0.72% per year. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities (DUCs) within or contiguous to the sphere of influence Identifying disadvantaged communities or disadvantaged unincorporated communities allows public agencies, cities and counties to address municipal service and infrastructure deficiencies—specifically, access to parks and recreational facilities, programs and services— that are known to exist in some disadvantaged communities. DUCs are inhabited communities containing 12 or more registered voters that constitutes all or a portion of a “disadvantaged community.” A disadvantaged community is defined as a community in which the median household income is 80% or less than the statewide median household income.7 This determination assesses the prospect of including neighboring DUC(s) when an agency’s SOI is updated or expanded. In 2011 SB 244 began requiring cities and counties to address the infrastructure needs of unincorporated disadvantaged communities in city and county general plans, MSRs, and annexation decisions. Therefore, this MSR Update identified disadvantaged communities within relevant jurisdictions’ SOI. Map 3 shows the location of all disadvantaged communities in Contra Costa County. a) There is a total of 16 disadvantaged communities in Contra Costa County. There are three cities or Census Designated Places (CDP) that meet the disadvantaged definition as a whole: San Pablo, Bethel Island, and North Richmond. The 13 remaining DUCs reflect census tracts and block groups that do not align with city or CDP boundaries. b) While a number of agencies reviewed serve disadvantaged unincorporated communities, these communities appear to have reasonable access to parkland and recreational facilities. However, property tax revenue and the agencies’ ability to recover costs through user fees from DUCs present additional challenges. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies This determination refers to the adequacy of existing and planned public facilities in relation to how public services are, and will be, provided to residents. Infrastructure can be evaluated in terms of capacity, condition, availability and quality, and plans for future improvement and/or expansion. Both active and passive parkland are evaluated in this MSR. Active parkland is defined as developed parkland with active recreation programming and sports 7 Government Code Section 56033.5 defines a "disadvantaged unincorporated community" as inhabited territory, as defined by Section 56046, or as determined by commission policy, that constitutes all or a portion of a "disadvantaged community" as defined by Section 79505.5 of the Water Code.

Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 2. Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 13 facilities. Passive parkland is defined as developed or undeveloped parkland containing trails, walkways, cultural/scenic resources, picnic tables, and shade structures. In cases where a district has not established its own service standard, the Contra Costa County standard is used. The County has a park and recreation facilities goal of four acres per 1,000 residents.8 a) Consistent with the 2010 MSR, additional park acres continue to be needed within all districts except the PHRPD to meet County General Plan goals of 4.0 acres per 1,000 residents. The need for additional acres is most acute in the high-growth, incorporated areas of north and east County (e.g., Concord, Oakley, Brentwood). b) Across the County there exists a wide range in the current level of service provision of cities’ developed park acreage per 1,000 residents. The cities’ levels of service range from a low of 0.88 acres per 1,000 residents to a high of 12.95, with an average of 3.70. c) In addition to the neighborhood and community parkland that each city or district maintains and operates, there are park and open space areas that are either within the jurisdictions’ boundaries or in close proximity, granting residents access to additional parkland and open space. These additional park and open space areas, most of which are owned/operated by EBRPD or East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), effectively increase the parkland acreage per resident for each jurisdiction. d) Consistent with the 2010 MSR (and excluding the cities and the city-administered CSAs), every agency has existing and future park acreage needs relative to the Countywide General Plan goal of 4.0 acres per 1,000 residents. Green Valley RPD, Ambrose RPD and all of the County-managed CSAs have significant existing and future acreage needs. e) PHRPD adopted a Master Plan in May 2020 to guide future park planning and investment in the coming decades, and ARPD adopted a Master Plan in 2016. EBRPD’s most recent Master Plan is from 2013. GVRPD does not have a Master Plan. f) Resident participation in recreation programming and community activities is often indicative of agency outreach efforts, and appear exceptionally strong within the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District and appear to be improving within the Ambrose Recreation and Park District. For the County administered CSAs, outreach to residents occurs primarily through the offices of the elected County Supervisors and/or direct mail in some cases. In CSA R-7, the Alamo MAC promotes events in the community. g) The 2010 MSR recommended that the County and Alamo MAC collaborate to jointly plan future capital improvements at CSA R-7 parks. This remains an appropriate recommendation. h) At the time of the 2010 MSR, all of the park and recreation facilities within CSA M-29 were constructed and had opened between 2000 and 2009 with no major capital needs or maintenance deficiencies to report. However, since 2010, the facilities have been aging. The City of San Ramon, which partially encompasses CSA M-29, has begun maintenance and renovation planning to address capital needs, and the City of San Ramon reports that park and recreation facilities remain in very good condition generally. 8 Page 9-24 of Envision 2040, the County General Plan’s Open Space Element.

Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 14 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services This determination evaluates whether the agency has the financial ability to provide adequate services now and in the future, particularly when considering SOI changes and potential annexations to the agency. a) Property taxes, assessments,9 and charges for services (user/registration fees) are the primary revenue sources for park and recreation services in the County. b) Of the 34 agencies reviewed in this MSR, only CSAs R-9 and R-10 do not receive any funding from property taxes or assessments. CSA R-9 is unfunded and CSA R-10 revenue is limited to facility rentals, resulting in challenges maintaining facilities and providing services. c) The parks and recreation-related expenditures of the cities included in this report average $157 per resident, from a low of $16 to a high of $589. While every City reported that current levels of financing are adequate for current park and recreation service provision, the COVID-19 pandemic and its related restrictions on gatherings has significantly altered the service provision of city Parks and Recreation Departments. d) Of the park and recreation districts evaluated, GVRPD has the highest recreation expenditures per capita, spending approximately $1,200 per district resident; however, this ratio is skewed by the very small service population within the District’s boundaries. The PHRPD spends approximately $220 per capita; EBRPD spends approximately $95 per capita; and ARPD spends approximately $49 per capita. e) CSAs that pass through their funds to cities within or adjacent to their bounds (i.e., CSAs M-29, M-30 and R-4) generally have higher service levels, because CSA funds are augmenting existing city funds for parks and recreation services. The cities receiving CSA funding reported that financing, while constrained, is generally sufficient to provide park and recreation services. f) The financial ability of PHRPD to improve its facilities was greatly enhanced by Bond Measure E that was approved by district residents in August 2009. The $28 million bond funded various new facilities and upgrades within the District. A more recent bond measure, Measure A, for $63.5 million, did not pass in March 2020 and may affect the District’s ability to fully implement its recent Master Plan. g) Except for the city-administered CSAs, all districts charge fees for services. It is recommended that fees be reviewed/updated regularly. h) If districts charge an assessment, and do not utilize a CPI adjustment, it is recommended that they do so. If not already reflected in the engineer’s report, incorporating a CPI adjustment would require voter approval. 9 This MSR/SOI Update uses the term “assessment” broadly, to encompass benefit assessments, special taxes, special assessments, and/or parcel taxes. In some cases, the formation documents are vague, referring to a “benefit assessment or service charge” while the annual property tax bills refer to “special taxes and assessments.” A Benefit Assessment requires a professional engineer’s report that describes the benefit, proposed costs, and presents a benefit formula that is used to determine each property’s share of the cost. A majority vote is required to approve a rate increase. A Special Tax, on the other hand, is imposed for a specific purpose and must be approved by a 2/3 majority of the qualified voters in the service area. A Special Tax is not necessarily limited to the relative benefit it provides to the property owners or taxpayers. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 2. Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 15 i) The County prepares annual budgets for the County’s Special Districts and presents the information in a transparent manner; however, it would improve transparency if the County included a brief description of the purpose of each CSA and provided more detail about what each CSA funds within the Special Districts Budget each year. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities This determination reviews current sharing arrangements with other agencies, if any, and whether opportunities exist to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services through sharing, collaboration or functional consolidation. a) Park and recreation service providers share facilities extensively in Contra Costa County. Most commonly, agencies collaborate with school districts to provide additional recreational areas and facilities to residents after school hours, which is the case for PHRPD, the Crockett CSD, and CSAs R-7 and R-10. For example, the Crockett CSD, which serves the unincorporated communities of Crockett and Port Costa, makes its swimming pool available to the high school swim team. b) The majority of cities (15 out of 18) indicated that they are taking advantage of shared facilities through joint-use agreements or other methods. Local school districts are the most common organization type with which cities are sharing facilities. c) Opportunities for future facility sharing are generally limited to establishing or increasing collaboration with the local school district. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies This determination reviews whether an agency follows "best practices" to a) facilitate cost effective and efficient delivery of services; and b) enable review and input by residents, LAFCO and other agencies and stakeholders, including adequate and transparent reporting documents, and website access. This determination can also consider governance options (e.g., consolidation) to improve efficiencies and accountability. a) Accountability is best ensured when there is sufficient constituent interest to maintain full governing boards or advisory committees, constituent outreach is conducted to promote accountability and ensure that constituents are informed and not disenfranchised, and public agency operations and management are transparent to the public. b) The vast majority of cities in the County have either a Parks and Recreation Commission established or a commission that performs similar activities by which the municipalities exhibit adequate accountability to community service needs. c) Generally, when there is a lack of constituent interest in an agency’s activities, governing bodies are challenged to fill board and advisory committee positions. In the case of the park and recreation service providers, there currently are no vacancies on district boards, but a number of advisory committees appear to have weakened or lack an advisory committee altogether, including CSAs R-9 and R-10. d) Accountability to constituents is constrained in CSAs M-29 and R-4, where the residents in the unincorporated areas being served by the cities are not eligible to sit on the city park commissions. e) All agencies prepare and post meeting agendas and make minutes available as required; however Green Valley RPD’s agendas and meeting minutes are not current as of January 2021. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 2. Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 16 f) Websites with contact information are a recommended practice for all local agencies, and except for the CSAs, all agencies are meeting this standard. g) There is generally a lack of web presence promoting recreation programming within the CSAs, to the extent programming is available. It is recommended that the County improve access to information about all available classes and locations to promote the use of these services. h) All of the agencies reviewed demonstrated accountability in disclosure of information and cooperation with LAFCO during the MSR process. i) All of the districts prepare annual budgets, maintain current financial records, and adopt long-term CIPs. This is managed by the County for the County-administered CSAs and by the benefitting cities for the city-administered CSAs. Additionally, accountability would be improved if the County included a brief description of what each CSA funds within the Special Districts Budget each year. j) It is recommended that all districts (specifically, Green Valley RPD) whose board members serve as staff consult with their legal counsel regarding the statutory authority for such dual service, and ask legal counsel to evaluate whether any prohibited or perceived conflicts of interest, incompatible activities or other legal problems might arise from this arrangement. 7. Any Other Matter Related to Efficient Service Delivery, As Required by Commission Policy This determination is an opportunity to highlight other concerns that may be relevant. In this MSR, issues related to the implications of COVID-19 are noted. a) The length, severity and long-term impacts of the coronavirus pandemic continue to be uncertain, and the fiscal and service implications will depend fundamentally on how the crisis unfolds in the coming months and years. To date, the least affected agencies are those CSAs whose revenues come from property taxes and assessments (i.e., not charges for services or user fees) and that pass those revenues along to the primary service providers. Cities tend to be more affected since their revenues are more dependent on a broader range of revenues more affected by the pandemic (e.g., sales and hotel tax revenues). Additional information about specific agency impacts is noted in their respective chapters. Sphere of Influence Recommendations An SOI is a LAFCO-approved plan that designates an agency’s probable future boundary and service area. The SOI essentially defines where and what types of government reorganizations, such as annexation, detachment, dissolution or consolidation, may be initiated. The governing bodies of local agencies and voters may initiate reorganizations so long as they are consistent with the SOIs. An SOI change neither initiates nor approves a government reorganization. If and when a government reorganization is initiated, there are procedural steps required by law, including a protest hearing and/or election, by which voters may choose to approve or disapprove a reorganization.

Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 17 Consistent with Government Code Section 56425, in determining the sphere of influence of each local agency, the commission shall consider and prepare a written statement of its determinations with respect to each of the following: (1) The present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. (2) The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. (3) The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. (4) The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. (5) The nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) This report identifies options and preliminary recommendations for LAFCO to consider as it reviews and updates the SOIs of three RPDs and eight CSAs. The consultants’ SOI recommendations are summarized in Table 3 and the RPD and CSA chapters include additional detail.

Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 18 Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. The SOI recommendation for ARPD in 2010 was to reduce the District’s SOI, given its limited capacity to provide adequate public services and the likelihood that the neighboring cities of Concord and/or Pittsburg would annex portions of the ARPD service area. In May 2010, the Commission passed a resolution to retain ARPD’s coterminous SOI. The 2020 update finds the District in a more sustainable and accountable condition. Therefore, the SOI option and recommendation for the District in this update is to retain the existing coterminous SOI until such time that the City of Concord or the City of Pittsburg annex portions of the unincorporated County. At that point, it may be more evident how and in what way the ARPD boundary might be reduced to eliminate boundary overlaps and better serve the ARPD service population. Green Valley RPD SOI Options 1) Adopt a zero SOI 2) Retain existing coterminous SOI 3) Retain existing coterminous SOI on a provisional basis Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI on a provisional basis. In October 2009, the Commission passed a resolution to reduce the SOI for the GVRPD by approximately 131 acres, further encouraging the District to continue to make operational improvements and pursue other governance options and specifying that LAFCO would review the GVRPD in two years. Subsequently, the 2010 MSR included governance options including 1) dissolving GVRPD and expanding the SOI and annexing the area to CSA R-7 SOI to include the GVRPD; or 2) dissolving GVPRD and naming the Town of Danville as the successor agency as GVPRD is fully within the Town’s boundary. While governance and governance procedures of the GVRPD have improved since the 2010 MSR, the District is not operating in a fully transparent a manner compared with best practices and other RPDs in the County. For example, agendas are not posted and meeting minutes do not appear current. Budget information, while provided upon request, is not available on the District’s website. Further, the District’s assets are limited to a small swimming pool and surrounding lawn area located in a residential neighborhood. The District averages approximately 100 member families each year (ranging from 95 to 115). The District sponsors community events but events are limited. In acknowledging the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI on a provisional basis, with the expectation that the District report back to LAFCO within two years to demonstrate full transparency with respect to governance, capital improvement planning, increased membership, and fiscal solvency. Pleasant Hill RPD SOI Options 1) Defer, pending subcommittee recommendation 2) Retain existing SOI Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 2. Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 19 Current Recommendation Defer, pending subcommittee recommendation. The 2010 SOI recommendation was to expand the SOI to include all areas within the City of Pleasant Hill’s SOI (an expansion of approximately 16 acres), expand the SOI to include all areas within the City of Pleasant Hill’s corporate limits, and reduce the SOI to exclude city of Lafayette and Walnut Creek areas with the exception of Lafayette immediately adjacent to Brookwood Park. The rationale was that PHRPD primarily was providing recreation and park services to the City of Pleasant Hill and therefore, a more logical boundary for PHRPD would be an SOI that matches the City boundaries. Moreover, there was service duplication in certain parts of the PHRPD where the cities of Lafayette and Walnut Creek were also providing similar recreation and park services to local residents. In May 2010, the Commission passed a resolution to adjust PHRPD’s SOI as described above. In this update, and through conversations with the District, there have been no changes since 2010 that suggest further adjustments are appropriate. In a letter submitted to LAFCO dated March 29, 2019 during the City MSR and re-submitted to LAFCO on February 8, 2021, 40 residents of the Reliez Valley area expressed a desire to detach from PHRPD, indicating that they pay taxes to PHRPD but do not use PHRPD services, instead, receiving park and recreation services from the City of Lafayette. At its meeting on April 14, 2021, LAFCO directed staff to appoint a subcommittee to facilitate discussions between the residents and the District regarding the issues raised by the residents. A recommendation on the PHRPD SOI should be deferred until the subcommittee has been able review the facts and make a recommendation to LAFCO. CSA M-16 SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Retain the existing coterminous SOI. Based on the research and determinations in the MSR, there have not been any changes since 2010 that would alter this recommendation, and the current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI until such time that the City of Concord annexes the area. The district is contiguous to the City of Concord and with Concord’s SOI. CSA M-17 SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Retain the existing coterminous SOI. Based on the research and determinations in the MSR, there have not been any changes since 2010 that would alter this recommendation, and the current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI. The district is contiguous to the cities of Pinole and Richmond. CSA M-29 SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 2. Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 20 Current Recommendation Retain the existing coterminous SOI. Based on the research and determinations in the MSR, there have not been any changes since 2010 that would alter this recommendation, and the current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI. CSA M-29 has a steady revenue source through the City, and is integral to ensuring continued service in the future for the DVSP development. The City recently completed its final Dougherty Valley annexation. Once the area has been built-out and the territory within CSA M-29 has been entirely annexed by the City, it is recommended that the City and County collaborate to find a more efficient manner for the City to continue to receive financing for these services. One possibility may be the establishment of a subsidiary assessment district within the City of San Ramon. CSA M-30 SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI 2) Adopt a zero SOI (to signal future dissolution or consolidation with another local agency) Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. CSA R-7 encompasses the bounds of CSA M-30. Residents of M-30 pay an assessment to the County, which is transferred to the Town for enhanced parks and recreation, law enforcement, street maintenance, landscaping, and street lighting. Residents of M-30 also pay property taxes to CSA R-7 for park and recreation services. As noted in the 2010 MSR report, a governance option is to remove the M-30 territory from CSA R-7 to eliminate duplication of services. Another option is to consolidate the two CSAs into a single CSA, and create a zone for the area formerly within CSA M-30 to maintain the financing mechanism for enhanced services by the Town of Danville per the agreement between the Town and the County. Given the duplication in service, it was recommended that the Commission adopt a zero SOI for CSA M-30. The Commission directed LAFCO staff to work with the County to combine R-7 and M-30 to address the service overlap and report back to the Commission within 12 months. However, each CSA was formed based on unique objectives, with CSA M-30 providing services beyond those provided by CSA R-7. At this time, the recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI, which will leave the funding mechanism in place. CSA R-4 SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI 2) Adjust SOI to remove vacant unincorporated areas and expand to include entire Moraga bounds 3) Adjust SOI to exclude incorporated Town of Moraga 4) Adopt a zero SOI Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. CSA R-4 was formed prior to the incorporation of Moraga, which occurred in 1974. Pursuant to the CKH Act and CSA law (Government Code Section 25210 et seq.), whenever territory is incorporated into a new city or annexed to a city, it is typically detached from county service areas. As noted above, CSA R-4 contains most of the Town of Moraga and surrounding unincorporated areas, most of which are vacant lands. This raises questions regarding the need for, level of, and possible duplication of parks and recreation Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 2. Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 21 services provided through the CSA. In 2010, it was recommended that the Commission defer the SOI update for CSA R-4; and direct LAFCO staff to further discuss with the County and Town of Moraga governance and boundary options and report back to the Commission within 12 months. In 2013, LAFCO retained the existing SOI for CSA R-4. This action followed discussions with County and Town of Moraga staff. It was determined that the existing government structure is appropriate and enables the Town to continue to include this unincorporated area in its long- term planning for parks and recreation services. CSA R-7 SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI 2) Reduce the SOI to exclude the CSA M-30 territory 3) Consolidate R-7 and M-30 4) Expand the SOI to include the Green Valley Recreation & Park District (GVRPD) to signal a future consolidation of these districts Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. CSA R-7 encompasses the bounds of CSA M-30. Further discussion with the County is needed to address any potential service duplication and boundary issues. Previously the LAFCO Commission directed LAFCO staff to work with County and Town of Danville staff to combine R-7 and M-30 to address service overlap. However, each CSA was formed based on unique objectives, with CSA M-30 providing services beyond those provided by CSA R-7. The Alamo MAC is opposed to a governance option that would reduce the territory of CSA R-7 to exclude the area of overlap with CSA M-30. Consolidation of GVPRD and CSA R-7 could enhance the operation and maintenance of the Green Valley pool; however, in 2010, County Public Works was opposed to the option, noting that there are inadequate financial resources to cover costs for maintenance and capital improvements to the pool. Also, members of the Alamo community, the Alamo MAC and District III County Supervisor expressed opposition to such a consolidation. At this time, the recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI, which will leave the funding mechanism in place. CSA R-9 SOI Options 1) Retain the existing coterminous SOI 2) Adopt a zero SOI to signal future dissolution of the District Current Recommendation Adopt a zero SOI. CSA R-9 has no regular source of financing to maintain the Children’s Reading Garden at the County library in El Sobrante and depends on volunteers for periodic upkeep. The recommendation is to dissolve CSA R-9 and shift the park maintenance duties to the Landscape and Lighting District.

Municipal Service Review and SOI Summary Page 22 2) Retain the existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Adopt a zero SOI. The CSA’s only sources of revenue are from facility rentals and program fees, both of which have been severely challenged by COVID. While the lasting effects of COVID remain unknown, the current recommendation is to adopt a zero SOI to signal future dissolution of the District, in which case the County is the successor agency. County staff anticipates that maintenance of the outdoor/field areas could be provided by Landscape and Lighting District (LLD) Zone 38 without causing an undue burden. In the longer term, because the Lefty Gomez Community Center and the adjacent ballfields are located on a parcel owned by the John Swett Unified School District, the parcels may be returned to the School District.

AMBROSE RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT The Ambrose Recreation and Park District (ARPD) was formed in 1946, and provides recreation and park services to 28,240 residents, living in the unincorporated community of Bay Point and a portion of the western area of the City of Pittsburg. The District operates nearly 29 acres of parks and coordinates a number of recreational programs, including several aquatic programs, exercise and fitness classes, and youth camps, and hosts special seasonal events. Agency Boundaries Map 4 depicts the ARPD boundary, which encompasses approximately 9.3 square miles, or approximately 5,950 acres. The District’s boundary is located entirely within Contra Costa County, extending south from the Contra Costa-Solano county line to the northeastern city limits of the City of Concord, including a portion of the City of Pittsburg (528 acres) and the unincorporated community of Bay Point. Contra Costa is the principal county and Contra Costa LAFCO has jurisdiction. While the boundary and SOI of the ARPD has been modified since its formation, as shown in Appendix B, Table B-1, there have been no changes since 2002. Based on LAFCO staff reports, LAFCO staff assume that the existing SOI is coterminous with ARPD bounds based on previous SOI amendments. In 2010, LAFCO affirmed the existing coterminous SOI.

Ambrose Recreation & Park District Page 25 Impact of COVID-19 As a result of the global pandemic and statewide shelter-in-place public health directives, ARPD cancelled recreational programming and closed their facilities. In addition, the District’s Board adopted Resolution #19/20-03 Emergency Administrative Leave Program for District Employees as a response to the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The District reports that throughout the pandemic, District staff has been working diligently to ensure that residents are safe and engaged with ARPD parks and programs in compliance with state and local guidelines. The Board meetings have been conducted via teleconference and phone; some connectivity issues occurred, and the District switched platforms to minimize disruptions. As conditions evolve, the District is working to identify options for reopening. The District reported a loss of approximately $30,000 in revenue, as of May 2020. Even though the initial loss of revenue was not judged to be significant, given the uncertainty of the situation, the longer-term consequences for the District’s fiscal solvency remain to be seen. Nonetheless, the District has put two capital projects on hold and decided to adjust the timeline of one of these projects. In the spirit of improving ARPD’s long-range planning efforts, the District conducts public visioning workshops that recur every five to ten years. The intention is to perform a SWOT analysis, which is a strategic planning exercise to identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The first such workshop was held in 2015. The second workshop was set to take place in April 2020 but was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Growth and Population Projections The District considers its service population, or customer base, to be the property owners and residents living within the boundaries of the District. There are 28,240 people in the District, according to 2020 Contra Costa County GIS estimates, as shown in Table 4. The County forecasts that estimated average annual growth of 1.2% will add approximately 7,100 residents for a total population of 35,400 by 2040 a total increase of about 25%. As a point of comparison, the County overall anticipates population growth of 0.72% per year between 2020 and 2040.10 10 The 2020 population estimate was derived by taking the 2019 ESRI Business Analyst population estimate and applying the long-term growth rate of the relevant MTC Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ). The 2019 ESRI Business Analyst figure was judged to be more accurate than the ARPD population that was published in the 2019 LAFCO Directory. Furthermore, it should be noted that because even the 2019 population estimates are derivations based on 2010 Census figures, the 2020 Census is likely to re-establish the current population benchmark. As with all growth projections, it should also be noted that these are approximations based on the best-known information at the time. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health crisis, its impacts on future growth in the District are uncertain. Therefore, the projections listed in Table 4 may vary from actual future growth. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Service Duplication and Boundary Overlap There are three areas that cumulatively represent a 528-acre area of overlap between the ARPD boundary and the City of Pittsburg (e.g., along Bailey Road and West Leland Road, south of SR 4), and residents in these areas of overlap are served by both jurisdictions. Shared Facilities and Cooperation The District does not share its facilities with other agencies; however, it does cooperate with other agencies to provide efficient services. For example, the District reports that it benefits from cooperative relationships with nearby agencies such as the City of Pittsburg, Contra Costa County, and the Mount Diablo Unified School District. The City of Pittsburg Police Department ensures safety at Ambrose Memorial Park, the largest park. Recently FEMA used the Community Center to administer vaccinations, and the District offered to house community members who were displaced by a fire. The Community Center is a cooling center during “normal hours” or normal operation but was closed during the pandemic. In addition, the County’s Human Resources Department rents space within ARPD facilities, and the non-profit Meals on Wheels provides a seniors’ lunch at the Ambrose Community Center’s dining hall, which had been put on hold and is expected to resume during the summer of 2021. Disadvantaged Communities The unincorporated community of Bay Point is classified as a Disadvantaged Community and represents most of the District’s population. Several of the District’s smaller parks are located in this community, and residents also have access to the Bay Point Regional Shoreline. As reported by District staff, the District has made a concerted effort since the 2010 MSR to expand and improve its recreation program offerings, and the District is intentionally keeping its program fees affordable to all residents in acknowledgement of Bay Point’s classification as a Disadvantaged Community. Adequacy of Park and Recreation Facilities and Services Since the prior 2010 MSR, four pocket/neighborhood parks previously owned and maintained by the County were transferred to the ARPD. In total, the ARPD operates nearly 29 acres of parks, Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

However, according to District staff, the Ambrose Community Center and Park is in poor condition and in need of major infrastructure upgrades and may need to be rebuilt entirely. A new restroom project is underway at Ambrose Park, which is being funded through Park Impact Fees and District funds.

ARPD coordinates a number of recreational programs, exercise and fitness classes, and youth camps, as seen in Table 6. The District’s swimming pool had been inactive for several years but reopened as the Ambrose Park Aquatics Center in June 2017, creating the opportunity for new aquatic programs. The District charges user fees and reviews these fees each year as part of the normal budget process, however the Board has not increased fees to keep pace with inflation.12 11 While the City of Pittsburg has a park acreage standard of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents, the County’s standard is 4.0 acres per 1,000 residents. As most of the District’s population resides in the unincorporated County, the Countywide standard is most applicable to the District. In any case, the District’s level of service of 1.0 acres per 1,000 residents is inadequate. 12 Interview with Doug Long, March 17, 2020. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Ambrose Recreation & Park District Page 29 Fee increases could decrease accessibility to recreation programs by disadvantaged communities within ARPD’s boundary. In addition to recreational programs, the District hosts seasonal special events for Halloween, Christmas and Easter. Financial Ability to Provide Services The annual operating budget of ARPD is approximately $1.3 million, or $1.0 million, excluding grant revenue but including reserves. The most recent operating budget (FY19/20) indicates that 70% of the District’s revenues are from taxes and assessments. Typically, charges for recreational programs and events and facility rentals generate represent important sources of revenue for ARPD, but COVID has affected the District’s ability to generate this revenue, as reflected in the FY19/20 budget. Since the 2010 MSR, the District made a concerted effort to reduce costs and has managed to hold labor/salaries and maintenance expenditures steady. Expenditures in FY19/20 were approximately $49 dollars per capita (residents in the District’s boundaries) and did require limited use of reserves. The budget documents on the District’s website go back as far as FY17/18, with these two fiscal years shown in greater detail in Table 7. Note that costs that appear constant or steady in nominal dollars are decreasing after considering inflation. The District’s 2016 Facility Assessment Review estimates roughly $12 million of needed capital improvements. The District’s capital projects, as shown for FY 2019/20 in Table 8, are funded with park impact fees and with property tax revenue. The former accounts for approximately two-thirds of ARPD’s roughly $600,000 in capital revenues while the latter accounts for the remaining one-third. Expenditures, which totaled about $550,000, included the construction of new restrooms at Ambrose Park and tree care. The District has not reviewed its impact fees in the past six years, and the Board will be discussing this at an upcoming visioning workshop. The District also relies on grant opportunities to fund capital improvements, and the Board will be considering additional/alternative funding opportunities at an upcoming visioning workshop. District staff reports that most of ARPD’s parks and facilities are in “moderate” condition and in need of upgrades and improvements. Because ARPD is largely composed of a disadvantaged community, the District finds it difficult to raise the revenues necessary to support all of the identified improvements at all relevant facilities.

Ambrose Recreation & Park District Page 32 Ambrose Recreation and Park District MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The residential population served by the District is projected to increase at an average of 1.2% annually, with expected growth of approximately 25%, or 7,137 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 35,377 people. b) The District’s population is projected to grow at a faster rate than the County’s population overall, which is expected to grow at an average of 0.72% per year. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) The northern portion of the area served by the Ambrose Recreation and Park District, the unincorporated community of Bay Point, qualifies as a disadvantaged community. b) At 1.0 acre per 1,000 residents, the amount of parkland in the Bay Point community and the District overall is below the County’s General Plan standards and below the City of Pittsburg’s park acreage goals and inadequate. c) The District has made a concerted effort since the 2010 MSR to expand and improve its program offerings, which it has achieved through contracts with providers. The District now offers a broader array of recreation programs for all ages and provides more aquatic programming. The District is intentional in its efforts to keep the cost of recreational programming accessible to all residents, including residents of the Bay Point community. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The District owns and maintains nine (9) parks in the District’s service area for a total of nearly 29 acres, including one community center. The parks feature sports fields, tennis courts, BBQ areas, picnic tables, playgrounds, and restrooms. There is a swimming pool at Ambrose Park. b) The District provides approximately 1.0 acre of parkland per 1,000 residents, which is well below typical levels of service in the County even with the transfer of four pocket/neighborhood parks to ARPD from the County. Generally, there is a lack of neighborhood park space within the District. c) There are an additional 17.5 acres of parkland in or adjacent to the ARPD that are owned and maintained by the City of Pittsburg which provide additional parkland to the ARPD’s service population and brings the effective level of service to 1.6 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. d) In a significant turnaround from the prior MSR in 2010, the District now offers recreational programming, including a robust aquatics program, to meet the needs of all residents, although programming has been and continues to be significantly affected by COVID-19. Access to the gym at the Community Center is available for a nominal fee. Classes and programs are described online and registration occurs online as well. e) The District planned to embark on public visioning workshops that would recur every five to ten years. The first such workshop was set to take place in April, 2020 but the pandemic lockdown forced ARPD to cancel the workshop. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 3. Ambrose Recreation & Park District Page 33 f) The District’s annual budget includes a CIP list and District staff indicated that approximately $12 million of outstanding capital improvements are identified. At an upcoming visioning workshop, the Board will consider additional/alternative funding opportunities. g) The majority of the District’s parks and recreation facilities are in moderate condition as reported by the District, although the District reports that Ambrose Community Center and Park are in poor condition. Concerns regarding the quality of facilities at Ambrose Park and the Community Center were identified in the 2010 MSR as well. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) In FY 19/20, approximately 70% of the District’s revenues came from taxes and assessments with additional revenue coming from user/registration fees and facility rentals, and periodic grants. User/registration fees and facility rentals are being negatively affected by COVID, and limited use of reserves was needed in FY 19/20. b) Compared with FY 17/18, taxes and assessments increased by 18%, while user/registration fees are down 66%. c) The District indicated that because it serves a disadvantaged community, it is unable to raise the revenues necessary to fund needed capital improvements. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) While the District does not share any facilities, the District rents its Community Center to the County’s Employment & Human Services Department and benefits from cooperative relationships with the Mount Diablo Unified School District and the Pittsburg Police Department, which reliably administers and ensures safety at the largest parks. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is accountable to its service population and provides transparent governance and operations information. The District’s website provides access to the agendas and minutes for the Board meetings, as well as annual budgets and audits. b) The District responded to LAFCO’s requests for information in a timely manner. c) The 2010 MSR indicated that in the long term, the City of Pittsburg may want to annex the community of Bay Point. As the entire ARPD boundary is within the City’s SOI, upon annexation of Bay Point, LAFCO may wish to establish ARPD as a subsidiary district of the City of Pittsburg. This remains an appropriate governance option for future consideration. Since the prior MSR, there have not been any discussions regarding annexation. 7. Any Other Matter Related to Efficient Service Delivery, As Required by Commission Policy a) COVID-19 has affected the District’s ability to offer recreation classes, programs, and activities. To date, the District is not holding virtual programs or hosting online activities. The District’s fiscal situation has not changed significantly; however, the longer the pandemic precludes the District from offering recreational programming, the more likely the District is to experience negative fiscal effects. To date, the District has not altered any capital plans. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Ambrose Recreation & Park District Page 34 Sphere of Influence Update SOI Options 1) Reduce SOI to match existing and future service area 2) Reduce SOI to remove some overlaps with the City of Pittsburg 3) Retain existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. The SOI recommendation for ARPD in 2010 was to reduce the District’s SOI, given its limited capacity to provide adequate public services and the likelihood that the neighboring cities of Concord and/or Pittsburg would annex portions of the ARPD service area. In May 2010, the Commission passed a resolution to retain ARPD’s coterminous SOI. The 2020 update finds the District in a more sustainable and accountable condition. Therefore, the SOI option and recommendation for the District in this update is to retain the existing coterminous SOI until such time that the City of Concord or the City of Pittsburg annex portions of the unincorporated County. At that point, it may be more evident how and in what way the ARPD boundary might be reduced to eliminate boundary overlaps and better serve the ARPD service population. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries encompass residential uses, limited commercial and industrial areas, park and open space areas, and the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station. ARPD has no land use authority; County and city plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the District’s service population and ability to provide services. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. There is a present and probable future need for park and recreation services in the community of Bay Point and surrounding areas. Population within ARPD is expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 1.2%. No changes in public facilities or services provided by ARPD will result from this SOI update. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. ARPD generally provides adequate park maintenance services and is improving its recreation programming. There are nearly 29 acres of parkland owned and maintained by ARPD, which translates into 1.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 district residents, short of the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that ARPD provides or is authorized to provide. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Ambrose Recreation & Park District Page 35 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. ARPD serves the unincorporated community of Bay Point, which qualifies as a disadvantaged unincorporated community. Several of the District’s smaller parks are located in this community, and residents also have access to the Bay Point Regional Shoreline. As reported by District staff, the District has made a concerted effort since the 2010 MSR to expand and improve its recreation program offerings, and the District is intentionally keeping its program fees affordable to all residents in acknowledgement of Bay Point’s classification as a Disadvantaged Community. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) ARPD provides park maintenance and recreation programming. Park and recreation facilities maintained by ARPD are located in the unincorporated community of Bay Point. The District is bounded by the City of Concord to the south and west, the City of Pittsburg to the east, and the Contra Costa-Solano county line to the north. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

GREEN VALLEY RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT With a service population of approximately 1,200 residents, Green Valley Recreation and Park District (GVRPD) owns and operates a swimming pool and surrounding lawn area for the Cameo Acres neighborhood and serves the surrounding areas of Danville and Alamo. GVRPD also offers activities commonly provided at community pools, including swim lessons, a non-competitive swim team, lifeguard training, community and social events. Agency Boundaries The District’s boundary is located entirely within Contra Costa County, located in the northeastern portion of the Town of Danville east of Green Valley Road, as shown in Map 5. The boundaries encompass approximately 165 acres, or approximately 0.25 square miles. Contra Costa is the principal county and Contra Costa LAFCO has jurisdiction.

Green Valley Recreation & Park District Page 38 Impact of COVID-19 The global pandemic and statewide shelter-in-place public health directives during March and April 2020 caused GVRPD to cancel the original opening date of the Green Valley pool in late Spring and the District did not hire seasonal staff as is customary. The District anticipates a decrease in the number of memberships as the lockdown eases and public pools are allowed to reopen. The decrease in memberships and a shorter swim season would also result in a decrease in the number of seasonal staff hired. While GVRPD had originally reported that it intended to increase membership fees, since the arrival of the global pandemic, the District is now contemplating the need to adjust membership prices to reflect a shortened season. But, with decreased membership the District acknowledges it will also have decreased staffing costs. However, since the District does not anticipate any change to its property tax revenue, there should not be a big impact financially. In terms of capital improvements, the District does not have any plans for large capital projects this year and therefore does not anticipate a significant impact to its capital budget. Growth and Population Projections GVRPD serves roughly 1,200 residents as of 2020, as shown in Table 11. By 2040, this number is expected to increase by about 40 residents, or an average annual growth of approximately 0.17%. This rate of growth is comparatively slow; as a point of comparison, the County overall anticipates population growth of 0.72% per year between 2020 and 2040.14 14 The 2020 population estimate was arrived at by taking the 2019 ESRI Business Analyst population estimate and applying the long-term growth rate of the relevant MTC Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ). The 2019 ESRI Business Analyst figure was judged to be more accurate than the GVRPD population that was published in the 2019 LAFCO Directory. Furthermore, it should be noted that because even the 2019 population estimates are derivations based on 2010 Census figures, the 2020 Census is likely to re-establish the current population benchmark. As with all growth projections, it should also be noted that these are rough estimates based on the best known information at the time. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health crisis, its impacts on future growth in the District cannot be known at this time. Therefore, the projections listed in Table 11 may vary from actual future growth. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Shared Facilities and Cooperation There are no shared facilities in the District. Disadvantaged Communities No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. Adequacy of Park and Recreation Facilities and Services The District maintains only one facility; a 70-year-old public pool and its surrounding lawn that are roughly 1.2 acres in size, as detailed in Table 12. GVRPD reported that the pool is not ADA compliant. The District also reported that they do not experience any significant security concerns such as dumping/garbage, graffiti or after-hours trespassers. Despite the pool’s age, regular small-scale capital improvements in recent years mean that the pool is in good condition. While it is fully functional and there are no usage or liability concerns, there are a few, minor infrastructure upgrades such as ongoing maintenance of addressing cracks along the pool’s surface, etc. The lawn area is in very good condition, meaning that it does not need any upgrades at the present time.

As detailed in Table 13, GVRPD staff arrange movie nights, swim parties, BBQs, contests and games. While many of these events are open and free for members, non-members are allowed to participate in the annual “Cornhole League” in the Fall. In addition, the District generates a small amount of revenue by renting the lawn and picnic area for private parties. On average, GVRPD generates a few hundred dollars annually. The larger boost to District revenues in the form of user-generated fees comes in the form of memberships, which generates roughly $50,000 annually. The District averages approximately 100 members each year, ranging from 95 to 115. Three types of annual pool memberships are available. Rates are $500 for a Family Membership in the Cameo area and $550 outside the Cameo Area. A Senior Membership (for two seniors) is $175. Memberships are renewed on an annual basis. Guests are allowed for a fee but must be accompanied by a member. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Green Valley Recreation & Park District Page 42 Financial Ability to Provide Services The District is financially solvent and reports that it has achieved its target for seasonal memberships of approximately 115 families. Roughly half of the memberships are resident families and half are non-residents. The District does not report an issue with cash flow; however, reduced charges for services revenues due to COVID affected total revenues in FY 19/20. During the summer of 2020 and during periods when the pool was permitted to be open per County health guidelines, the District shifted to a different model where people signed up for blocks of time and paid per block. The District was able to fill almost all available blocks of time, generating some revenue. Detailed in Table 14, GVRPD has annual revenues of $80,000 in FY 19/20, which is down from $100,000 in FY 08/19, despite a near-doubling of taxes and assessments during that period. While its annual expenditures did exceed its intake in FY 19-20, the District expects that reserves from prior years can cover the shortfall. The District also reports that it has no concerns regarding insurance payments. GVRPD reported that they did not pursue any capital improvements in FY 19/20.

Green Valley Recreation & Park District Page 43 Management & Accountability The District operates with a full board and has started publishing its meeting minutes online. The Board meeting agendas are not published because the District reported that meetings are rather informal. This is largely due to the fact that GVRPD does not have any formal, full-time staff. A small group of dedicated resident members volunteer their time to function as Board Members and perform administrative, legal and accounting functions to maintain the ongoing operations of the District. The key personnel, contact information, address and website are listed in Table 15. While the names and terms of elected Board Members are not available on the District’s website, they are available on the LAFCO website.

The only staff that are officially hired by GVRPD are seasonal staff that take care of the day-to- day operations of the Green Valley Pool during the open season (usually in the summer). GVRPD normally hires about two-dozen lifeguards and pool operators, as shown in Table 16. This constitutes a full time equivalent (FTE) count of 3.67 and results in an FTE to 1,000 residents ratio of 3.0. In terms of FTE per acre, the ratio is approximately 3.1 FTE per acre.

Since the prior MSRs in 2008 and 2010, the District has made efforts to address some of the challenges previously identified and now prepares annual budgets, conducts annual financial audits, maintains a basic website, posts meeting minutes, etc. Transparency could be improved by posting a regular board meeting schedule and meeting agendas and by providing more detailed meeting minutes. Green Valley Recreation and Park District MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The territory within the District boundary is built-out, and as such, only minimal population growth is expected. b) The residential population served by the District is projected to remain relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 0.17% per year, or 3% (39 people) between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 1,244 people. c) The District’s population is projected to grow at a slower rate than the County’s population overall, which is expected to grow at an average of 0.72% per year. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The District’s only facility is a 70-year old swimming pool that is not-ADA-compliant, restrooms and changing areas, and the surrounding lawn area. The lawn area includes picnic tables. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 4. Green Valley Recreation & Park District Page 45 b) The District performs small but regular capital improvements that help maintain the pool in good condition. c) In the prior MSR in 2010, the District described a desire to replace the pool with a new, much larger pool to better serve nearby residents. No further planning has occurred and the District does not have the sufficient capital reserves or surplus cash flow to fund such a major renovation. d) The District sponsors community events each year (e.g., the Polar Plunge and the Chili Cookoff) and provides regular programming, such as movie nights and TGIF BBQ and Swim parties. All events are free for members. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) COVID-19 has affected the District’s ability to fully open the pool which has significantly affected membership revenue. In FY 2019/20 nearly all of the District’s revenue came from taxes and assessments compared with five years ago, when charges for services (membership dues) comprised 45% of the District’s revenues. b) Since the prior MSR in 2010, the District has been successful at expanding and improving event programming. c) The District provides adequate pool and lawn maintenance services but is not able to fund significant capital improvements or even consider a full renovation. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District does not share any facilities. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is not fully accountable to its service population in that it does not provide fully transparent governance and financial information on its website. Since the prior MSRs in 2008 and 2010, the District made efforts to address some of the challenges previously identified and now prepares annual budgets, conducts annual financial audits, posts meeting minutes, etc. However, the website could provide more content with respect to the District’s governance. Budgets and audits are not posted, and transparency could be improved by posting a regular board meeting schedule and meeting agendas and by providing more timely and more detailed meeting minutes. b) The District responded to LAFCO’s requests for information in a timely manner. c) The governance alternatives identified in the 2008 and 2010 MSRs remain options:  consolidate with the Town of Danville;  consolidate with EBRPD;  consolidate with the San Ramon Valley School District;  consolidate with CSA R-7;  pursue private options including forming a nonprofit entity, forming a homeowners association or joining with another private pool association (e.g., Del Amigo Pool Association) d) LAFCO opined in the 2008 MSR, and it remains the case, that an independent special district is not an appropriate governance option and would never be formed today.

Green Valley Recreation & Park District Page 46 7. Any Other Matter Related to Efficient Service Delivery, As Required by Commission Policy a) COVID-19 had a significant effect on the District’s ability to open the pool, and membership revenue was severely affected. Operating expenses were also reduced in the sense that the District did not need to hire seasonal employees. Sphere of Influence Update SOI Options 1) Adopt a zero SOI 2) Retain existing coterminous SOI 3) Retain existing coterminous SOI on a provisional basis Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI on a provisional basis. In October 2009, the Commission passed a resolution to reduce the SOI for the GVRPD by approximately 131 acres, further encouraging the District to continue to make operational improvements and pursue other governance options and specifying that LAFCO would review the GVRPD in two years. Subsequently, the 2010 MSR included governance options including 1) dissolving GVRPD and expanding the SOI and annexing the area to CSA R-7 SOI to include the GVRPD; or 2) dissolving GVPRD and naming the Town of Danville as the successor agency as GVPRD is fully within the Town’s boundary. While governance and governance procedures of the GVRPD have improved since the 2010 MSR, the District is not operating in a fully transparent a manner compared with best practices and other RPDs in the County. For example, agendas are not posted and meeting minutes do not appear current. Budget information, while provided upon request, is not available on the District’s website. Further, the District’s assets are limited to a small swimming pool and surrounding lawn area located in a residential neighborhood. The District averages approximately 100 member families each year (ranging from 95 to 115). The District sponsors community events but events are limited. The current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI on a provisional basis, with the expectation that the District report back to LAFCO within two years to demonstrate full transparency with respect to governance, capital improvement planning, increased membership, and fiscal solvency. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries primarily encompass residential uses. GVRPD has no land use authority; County and city plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the District’s service population and ability to provide services. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 4. Green Valley Recreation & Park District Page 47 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. Population within the District is expected to increase by less than 0.2% annually. While there will be a continued need for adequate park and recreational services, no changes in public facilities or services provided by the District will result from this SOI update at this time. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. GVRPD owns and operates a community swimming pool and coordinates related aquatic programs and activities for both members and non-members. The pool facilities are approximately 70 years old, and they are not ADA-compliant. The District has limited resources. Retaining the existing SOI as proposed will not affect the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of services provided by GVRPD. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area that are relevant to GVRPD. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) GVRPD owns and operates a swimming pool and coordinates related aquatic services and programs. The District serves Cameo Acres and surrounding Danville and Alamo neighborhoods.

PLEASANT HILL RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT The Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District (PHRPD) was formed in 1951 and provides recreation and park services to the City of Pleasant Hill, a portion of the City of Lafayette, a small portion of the City of Walnut Creek, and the unincorporated area of Walden/Contra Costa Centre. The PHRPD manages nearly 260 acres of active and passive parkland and open space and serves a 2020 population of approximately 41,600, resulting in 4.2 acres of improved neighborhood and community parkland and 6.2 acres of parkland and open space per 1,000 residents. In February 2020, the District adopted a Parks, Facilities, and Recreation Master Plan that provides a thorough inventory of the District’s parks and facilities and a summary of recreation programming and lays out a vision for future park and recreation facilities and investment priorities. Agency Boundaries Map 6 depicts the PHRPD boundary, which encompasses approximately 8.8 square miles, or 5,616 acres, serving the City of Pleasant Hill, a portion of the City of Lafayette, a small portion of the City of Walnut Creek, and the unincorporated area of Walden/ Contra Costa Centre and the Reliez Valley. Contra Costa is the principal county and Contra Costa LAFCO has jurisdiction. While the boundary and SOI of the PHRPD has been modified a number of times since its formation, as shown in Appendix B, Table B-3, there have been no District boundary changes since 1999. The District’s SOI was updated in 2010 and is not coterminous with its boundary. Impact of COVID-19 Effective March 31, 2020, District offices, buildings and nonessential services were closed until further notice. Some facilities remained open in a limited capacity to support the District’s child- care based summer programs for preschool, youth and teens, but, for the most part, COVID-19 has severely affected the District’s ability to offer recreational programming in the traditional sense. As nearly 50% of the District’s operating revenues are from charges for service, this creates a financial vulnerability to monitor going forward. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 50 Growth and Population Projections PHRPD is a slow growth area with a population of nearly 41,600 as of 2020. By 2040, the population is expected to grow by about 2,400 residents, or at an annual average rate of 0.30%, as shown in Table 17. As a point of comparison, the County overall anticipates population growth of 0.72% per year between 2020 and 2040.15 Table 17 Pleasant Hill RPD Growth and Population Projections Absolute Annual Rate Item 2020 2040 Change of Growth Total Residents 41,552 43,975 2,423 0.30% Sources: ESRI Business Analyst; ABAG/MTC Population Projections; Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Service Duplication and Boundary Overlap The District’s boundary does reflect some overlap. The District includes the entirety of the City of Pleasant Hill, in addition to a portion of the City of Lafayette (in the southwest of the District), and a small portion of the City of Walnut Creek, as well as the unincorporated community of Walden/Contra Costa Centre (in the southeast of the District) and the Reliez Valley. Residents in the portions of the City of Lafayette and the City of Walnut Creek that are served by the Pleasant Hill RPD can access recreational programming through the District or their city’s Park and Recreation department. Residents in the northern portion of Lafayette that are within the District are in close proximity to Brookwood Park, that is in the unincorporated Reliez Valley adjacent to the City of Lafayette boundary; the 2010 MSR recommended that the boundary overlap be retained because “residents of the City of Lafayette use this park facility.”16 15 The 2020 population estimate was arrived at by taking the 2019 ESRI Business Analyst population estimate and applying the long-term growth rate of the relevant MTC Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ). The 2019 ESRI Business Analyst figure was judged to be more accurate than the PHRPD population that was published in the 2019 LAFCO Directory. Furthermore, it should be noted that because even the 2019 population estimates are derivations based on 2010 Census figures, the 2020 Census is likely to re-establish the current population benchmark. As with all growth projections, it should also be noted that these are rough estimates based on the best-known information at the time. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health crisis, its impacts on future growth in the District cannot be known at this time. Therefore, the projections listed in Table 17 may vary from actual future growth. 16 2010 Parks, Recreation and Cemetery Services MSR, page 108. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 51 Shared Facilities and Cooperation District staff reported that the PHRPD shares some facilities with the Mount Diablo Unified School District, including softball fields at the middle and high schools, and the maintenance yard. Prior to September 2020, the District also shared a swimming pool with the high school; however, the agreement was terminated due to significant upgrades needed to the pool and lack of access. Going forward, the District will rent the pool at an hourly rate as needed. Disadvantaged Communities There is a disadvantaged community located within the District’s sphere of influence in the southern portion of the City of Pleasant Hill, adjacent to the City of Walnut Creek. The community appears to have good access to the District’s parks, including the 11-acre Pleasant Oaks Park which has benefitted from recent investment and is in very good condition according to District staff. Adequacy of Park and Recreation Facilities and Services The District prepared a Parks and Recreation Master Plan that was finalized in May 2020 which provides a thorough inventory of the District’s parks and facilities and a summary of recreation programming. The Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District consists of 13 parks encompassing 126 acres as well as developed and undeveloped open space encompassing 115 acres. In June 2020, the District purchased 5 acres of land from the County. The land is part of a 15-acre project (5 acres for a City Library and 5 acres for a housing project). The District does not have funds to develop the land at this time, but has plans for two baseball fields, with an overlapping soccer field, playground, bocce courts, walking paths, and restrooms. The District owns two additional properties that house the Winslow Center and the Old School House. The District also has a joint use agreement with the school district to use the ballfields at College Park High School and Valley View Middle School.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 53 The District’s 2020 Master Plan recommends a service standard of 3.5 acres per 1,000 residents. Based on the total improved park acreage in the District, this service standard is achieved. Most of the District’s facilities are in very good condition (i.e., do not need major upgrades or renovations), although the Winslow Center and the Old School House are reported to be in poor condition, meaning they are in need of major infrastructure upgrades or could even be rebuilt entirely. As shown on Table 19, the District offers robust programming in the following core areas: 1. Preschool 2. Youth 3. Teen 4. Adult Classes 5. Senior 6. Sports 7.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 55 Financial Ability to Provide Services The District has an annual operating budget of more than $9 million per year (as of FY 2018-19), which is approximately 40% higher than it was five years prior, as detailed in Table 20. Revenues primarily come from taxes and assessments and charges for services, with a modest amount of additional revenue from grants and money/reserves/property. Publicly available budget documents indicate that the District is adequately resourced and has the financial ability to provide robust services. However, COVID-19 has severely affected the District’s ability to offer recreational programming in the traditional sense. As nearly 50% of the District’s operating revenues are from charges for service, this creates a financial vulnerability to monitor going forward. In addition, the District’s parcel tax of $47 per parcel does not include a cost inflator; as such, the value of the annual parcel tax erodes over time. Since the 2010 MSR was prepared, the passage of Measure E, a $28 million general obligation bond, resulted in a number of improvements throughout the District’s service area, including a new senior center, a new teen center, a new community center, and upgrades to Pleasant Oaks Park. Bathroom facilities and/or upgrades at Rodgers-Smith Park, Pleasant Hill Park, and Brookwood Park are included in the 2020 Master Plan for future development. Looking forward, PHRPD publishes a five-year Capital Improvement Program Plan each year that supports implementation of the 2020 Master Plan priorities. For the period from FY 2021 through FY 2024, nearly $1.5 million of capital improvements is identified, with the most extensive improvements planned for Pleasant Hill Park and the Rodgers Smith Park (see Table 21). The City of Pleasant Hill passes all of the parkland in-lieu fee revenue it collects from new development to PHRPD for parkland acquisition and park improvements. However, a recent bond measure, Measure A, for $63.5 million, did not pass in March 2020 and may affect the District’s ability to fully implement its recent Master Plan.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 57 Management & Accountability The District is governed by a five-member board, as shown in Table 22. The District demonstrated full accountability in its disclosure of information and cooperation with LAFCO. The agency responded to LAFCO’s written questionnaires and cooperated with LAFCO interview and document requests. In addition to the District’s well-maintained and easy-to-navigate website, regular outreach activities conducted by the District include an email newsletter and a catalog of available classes, activities and community events called The Spotlight, which is a print publication sent out three times a year to 68,000 - 72,000 homes in Contra Costa County. Print copies are also available at all PHRPD facilities and other places in the community (e.g., local library, doctor’s offices, schools where allowed). Also, each month the District sends an email news bulletin with current information about the District.

Growth and Population Projections a) The residential population served by the District is projected to remain relatively stable, growing approximately 6% (2,423 people), between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 43,975 people. b) With expected growth of 0.3% per year, the District’s population is projected to grow more slowly than the County’s population overall, which is expected to grow at an average of 0.72% per year. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) There is a disadvantaged community located within the District’s sphere of influence in the southern portion of the City of Pleasant Hill, adjacent to the City of Walnut Creek. The community appears to have good access to the District’s parks, including the 11-acre Pleasant Oaks Park which has benefitted from recent investment and is in very good condition according to District staff. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The District offers nearly 260 acres of parkland, representing approximately 6.2 acres per 1,000 residents which exceeds the District’s stated goals and is substantially greater than most other park and recreation providers in the County. b) The District’s active parks are well-amenitized with picnic and BBQ areas, tot lots, basketball courts, bocce courts, and restrooms. There are special feature parks as well, such as the Pleasant Hill Aquatic Park. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 59 c) The District has a current Master Plan that was adopted in February 2020 to guide park planning and investment. d) The District performs regular capital improvements that help maintain the District’s parks and facilities in mostly very good condition. There are some exceptions, and District staff has identified that the Winslow Center, the School House, and the Chilpancingo Park are in poor condition and in need of significant upgrades. e) Pre-COVID, the District offers robust recreational programming for all segments of the resident population and sponsors a range of community events each year. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) The District has an annual operating budget of more than $9 million per year, with revenues primarily coming from taxes and assessments and charges for services, with a modest amount of additional revenue from grants and money/reserves/property. Publicly available budget documents indicate that the District is adequately funded and has the financial ability to provide robust services. b) PHRPD publishes a five-year Capital Improvement Program Plan each year that supports implementation of the 2020 Master Plan priorities. For the period from FY 2021 through FY 2024, nearly $1.5 million of capital improvements is identified. c) COVID-19 has severely affected the District’s ability to offer recreational programming, creating a financial vulnerability to monitor going forward. d) The District’s parcel tax of $47 per parcel does not include a cost inflator; as such, the value of the annual parcel tax erodes over time. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) District staff reported that the PHRPD shares some facilities with the Mount Diablo Unified School District, including softball fields at the middle and high schools, and the maintenance yard. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is accountable to its service population and provides transparent governance and operations information. The District’s website provides access to the agendas and minutes for the Board meetings and its various committees, as well as annual budgets and audits. The four standing committees include Budget and Finance, Land and Facilities, Program, and Personnel. There is also a Senior Club Board. b) The District fully responded to LAFCO’s requests for information in a timely manner. c) The District makes efforts to reach out to the community through its catalog of available classes, activities and community events called The Spotlight, which is a print publication sent out three times a year to 68,000 - 72,000 homes in Contra Costa County. Also, the District sends an email news bulletin with current information about the District each month, as well as a monthly Senior Newsletter for the District’s Senior Center members. d) The 2010 MSR found that while the District meets the legal requirement for establishment of a subsidiary district (of the City of Pleasant Hill) based on land area and registered voters, the District has functioned as an independent agency since 1951 and continues to provide adequate services to taxpayers. While some boundary clean-up may be appropriate, no changes to the District’s governance are recommended. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 60 7. Any Other Matter Related to Efficient Service Delivery, As Required by Commission Policy a) COVID-19 is having a significant effect on the District’s ability to offer recreational programs and sponsor community events. While this has negatively affected the District’s revenues, there have been operational savings that have partially off-set the loss in revenue. Sphere of Influence Update SOI Options 1) Defer, pending subcommittee recommendation 2) Retain existing SOI Current Recommendation Retain existing SOI. The 2010 SOI recommendation was to expand the SOI to include all areas within the City of Pleasant Hill’s SOI (an expansion of approximately 16 acres), expand the SOI to include all areas within the City of Pleasant Hill’s corporate limits, and reduce the SOI to exclude city of Lafayette and Walnut Creek areas with the exception of Lafayette immediately adjacent to Brookwood Park. The rationale was that PHRPD primarily was providing recreation and park services to the City of Pleasant Hill and therefore, a more logical boundary for PHRPD would be an SOI that matches the City boundaries. Moreover, there was service duplication in certain parts of the PHRPD where the cities of Lafayette and Walnut Creek were also providing similar recreation and park services to local residents. In May 2010, the Commission passed a resolution to adjust PHRPD’s SOI as described above. In this update, and through conversations with the District, there have been no changes since 2010 that suggest further adjustments are appropriate. In a letter submitted to LAFCO dated March 29, 2019 during the City MSR study process and re- submitted to LAFCO on February 8, 2021, 40 residents of the Reliez Valley area expressed a desire to detach from PHRPD due to 1) the community’s identification with and receipt of services from Lafayette and its parks and recreation department, and attendance at school districts serving Lafayette and the area; and 2) absence of benefit from PHRPD facilities and services despite contributing to PHRPD bond payments and property taxes; and 3) perception of PHRPD disinvestment in Brookwood Park, the single nearby park serving the community. The residents signing the letter indicate that Brookwood Park receives inadequate maintenance, its basketball court is unusable, playground equipment is deteriorated, and it lacks a bathroom. The District reports recent basketball rim replacements and states that the park is in good condition but needs planned upgrades including court resurfacing and new playground equipment; however, improvements are on hold due to pandemic revenue reductions and the failure of Measure A. As noted above, LAFCO modified the District’s SOI as a result of the 2010 MSR recommendations to encompass areas consistent with Pleasant Hill’s SOI, which includes the Reliez Valley area that was unchanged by the 2019 City MSR. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 5. Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 61 Residents of Lafayette who reside within the City and District boundaries, and unincorporated Reliez Valley residents could work with LAFCO staff to facilitate an application to LAFCO if residents wish to detach from PHRPD. The detachment would create an adverse fiscal impact upon the District due to the reduction in revenues, and potentially shift their debt burden to other PHRPD residents. The status and disposition of ownership and maintenance responsibility for the Brookwood Park would need to be determined if it no longer fell within PHRPD boundaries and remained outside the City of Lafayette boundaries. At its meeting on April 14, 2021, LAFCO directed staff to appoint a subcommittee to facilitate discussions between the residents and the District regarding the issues raised by the residents. A recommendation on the PHRPD SOI should be deferred until the subcommittee has been able review the facts and make a recommendation to LAFCO.Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries encompass the City of Pleasant Hill, a portion of the City of Lafayette (single family residential), small portions of the City of Walnut Creek (commercial), a portion of the unincorporated community of Walden/Contra Costa Centre (commercial and multi- family residential), and the Reliez Valley (residential). Land uses within the District are primarily residential, with some light industrial and commercial areas. Land uses in the City of Pleasant Hill SOI area to the north of the City (along Pacheco Boulevard) are residential and light industrial. PHRPD has no land use authority; County and city plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the District’s service population. The recommendation to retain the existing SOI will not result in any changes in present and planned land uses. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. Population within the District is expected to increase by approximately 0.3% annually. While there will be a continued need for adequate park and recreational services in the District, the recommendation to retain the existing SOI will not result in any changes in public facilities or services provided by the District at this time. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The District offers nearly 260 acres of parkland, representing approximately 6.5 acres per 1,000 residents which exceeds the District’s stated goals and is substantially greater than most other park and recreation providers in the County. In addition, the District offers robust recreational programming for all segments of the resident population and sponsors a range of community events each year. Retaining the existing SOI as proposed will not affect the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of services provided by PHRPD. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. There is a disadvantaged community located within the District’s sphere of influence in the southern portion of the City of Pleasant Hill, adjacent to the City of Walnut Creek.

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Page 62 recommendation to retain the existing SOI will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area that are relevant to PHRPD. As discussed above in the current SOI recommendation, 40 residents have indicated that they represent a community of interest that is more closely aligned with the City of Lafayette due to their proximity to Lafayette, participation in Lafayette schools and community, and minimal use of PHRPD services and facilities, despite the location of Brookwood Park. While this potential community of interest does not materially change the current SOI recommendation, it is a basis for considering an application for detachment from PHRPD if the residents choose to proceed with this course of action. At the April 14, 2021 LAFCO hearing, the Commission directed staff to facilitate discussions between unincorporated and City residents that reside within the District, and District representatives, to discuss boundary, service and facility issues. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) PHRPD directly provides park maintenance and recreation programming throughout District boundaries. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) is the largest regional park system in the United States, providing park and recreation services in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.17 The system comprises nearly 125,000 acres in 73 parks and receives more than 25 million visits each year. In Contra Costa County, the boundary land area of EBRPD is 720 square miles. The District offers diverse and robust activities and programs, including archery, biking, boating/kayaking/sailing, camping, day camps, resources for dogs, field trips, fishing, geocaching, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, movie nights, naturalist programs, outdoor recreation programs, and more. The District has an annual operating budget of nearly $260 million per year, with revenues primarily coming from taxes and assessments and charges for services. COVID-19 is having a significant effect on the District’s ability to offer recreational programs and activities and, in turn, on the District’s user fee revenues; however, the EBRPD is in a better financial position than most local governments, because property taxes are its primary revenue source. Agency Boundaries The District’s SOI is coterminous with its boundary, and the boundary of the District is coterminous with both Contra Costa and Alameda counties, as shown in Map 7. The service area for EBRPD includes District regional parklands, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) owned lands, the San Francisco Water Department Watershed, the East Shore State Park (owned by the State of California, but operated by EBRPD), and the Middle Harbor and Port View Parks operated by the Port of Oakland. The EBRPD boundary encompasses a total of 1,457.6 square miles of land in both Contra Costa and Alameda counties, according to the most recent MSR prepared for Alameda LAFCO. In Contra Costa County, the boundary land area of EBRPD is 720 square miles. 17 Alameda County is the principal county and Alameda LAFCO has jurisdiction; however, because EBRPD’s service area encompasses all of Contra Costa County, a profile of the District is included in this MSR update.

East Bay Regional Park District Page 65 Impact of COVID-19 Between the COVID-19 pandemic and the region’s extreme wildfire activity during the Summer and Fall of 2020, the EBRPD had to close or limit activity at many of its parks/facilities, and according to the District’s FY 2021 Budget, the next fiscal year will provide challenges. However, the EBRPD is in a better financial position than most local governments, because property taxes are its primary revenue source. According to an August 2020 Beacon Economics projection, assessed value will increase by between 2.4% to 5.5% (low and high forecasts) in the coming year. However, the second most important source of Park District revenues will be significantly negatively impacted by the pandemic. Fees and Charges for Services, which experienced a $7.2 million loss in 2020, will be affected again in 2021. Growth and Population Projections Given that EBRPD spans both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, the population of both counties was added to arrive at the total affected residents, as shown in Table 24. The counties are expected to grow from about 2.84 million residents in 2020 to nearly 3.48 million by 2040, an increase of about 640,000. This rate of growth is slightly higher than 1.0% and represents a moderate level of growth over the long term. As a point of comparison, the Contra Costa County anticipates population growth of 0.72% per year between 2020 and 2040.

East Bay Regional Park District Page 66 Shared Facilities and Cooperation EBRPD has a number of shared facilities within the District, including:  The Ardenwood Historic Farm, which is jointly operated with the City of Fremont.  EBRPD is responsible for the maintenance and operation of parks, open space and trails in the Murray Township area, which is in the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (LARPD) boundary, but is more efficiently serviced by EBRPD. EBRPD receives a portion of the property tax from Murray Township directly via the County under the previously approved redistribution of property tax revenue.  Mission Peak is owned by the City of Fremont and managed by EBRPD.  The Hayward Regional Shoreline is managed in coordination with the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD), the City of Hayward, and the Alameda County Flood Control District.  EBRPD manages several properties for the State of California including the McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, Del Valle, and Crown Beach.  EBRPD shares management of some watershed/park land with local water agencies (EBMUD, Contra Costa and San Francisco) and with LARPD. Disadvantaged Communities There are a number of disadvantaged communities located within the District’s sphere of influence. In all cases, the communities appear to have good access to the District’s parks and facilities. Adequacy of Park and Recreation Facilities and Services The East Bay Regional Park District is the largest regional park system in the United States, receiving more than 25 million visits each year. Since its founding, the District has grown consistently in terms of acres of parkland, open space, and miles of trails; partnerships with local, regional, State, and federal initiatives; and investments in recreation, health, education, and habitat preservation. The system comprises nearly 125,000 acres with 73 parks. Park District facilities include:  Over 1,330 miles of trails within the parklands  8 freshwater lakes  3 swim lagoons  3 State Parks  2 San Francisco Bayshore beaches  3 swimming pools  40 lake fishing docks  3 Bay fishing piers  235 family campsites  5 cabins  42 youth camping areas  24 backpacking camps  7 equestrian centers  2 golf courses Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

East Bay Regional Park District Page 67  1 disc-golf course  137 group picnic sites subject to reservation  10 interpretive and education centers  18 children’s playgrounds  2 mobile education centers  16 wedding, meeting, and banquet facilities EBRPD maintains its natural areas, park areas, trees, landscaping, buildings, and other structures at the District’s park sites and facilities. Table 25 provides a summary of EBRPD facilities organized by city (limited to those cities in Contra Costa County). Given EBRPD’s role in the region as a provider and steward of natural, open space parks, there is not really an appropriate service standard by which to evaluate the District’s assets. The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recommends that a municipal park system include at least 6.25 to 10.5 acres of developed open space per 1,000 residents. While this standard is directed at municipal park systems, which implies developed parks, and not regional open space parks, the total park acreage per 1,000 residents for the municipal park system in EBRPD is 44, which greatly exceeds the above-mentioned service standards. The District has not adopted its own standards with regard to a minimum park acreage per capita to be maintained. The District proactively plans to serve its current and future service populations. A Land Use Plan is a long-range planning document that recommends programs for managing and conserving park resources and offers proposals for future recreational use. The District is currently developing Habitat Conservation Plans and Preserve Management Plans, as well as Land Use Plans or Land Use Plan Amendments for the following facilities in Contra Costa County:  Concord Hills Regional Park Land Use Plan  Southern Las Trampas Wilderness Land Use Plan Amendment  Roddy Ranch Habitat Restoration and Public Access Plans The District also practices capital improvement planning and there are currently approximately 500 active projects in various stages. All projects and budget estimates are available on the District’s website. The adjacent chart shows how the District funds capital improvements. District Revenue Sources includes Measure FF. The voters within 11 cities and unincorporated areas of western Alameda and Contra Costa Counties passed Measure FF in 2018, as an extension of Measure CC. Measure FF is designated to fund specific projects, and to provide ongoing staffing at specific parks in the Measure FF area. Annually this funding source generates over $3.3 million and will remain in place for 20 years. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

East Bay Regional Park District Page 69 costs are available on the District’s website in a Consolidated Fee Schedule, which was updated in 2021. Financial Ability to Provide Services As shown on Table 26, total revenues received by EBRPD in FY 2018/19 were $230 million and are budgeted to be $211 million in FY 2020/21, with projected declines attributable to the effects of COVID. Of this total FY 2021 amount, 84% is from property taxes and special assessments, 13% is charges for services, and 3% is other revenue, such as lease revenue. EBRPD levies a special parcel tax for public safety and park maintenance services. According to the District’s FY 2021 Budget, the next fiscal year will provide challenges. However, the EBRPD is in a better financial position than most local governments, because property taxes are its primary revenue source. According to an August 2020 Beacon Economics projection, assessed value will increase by between 2.4% to 5.5% (low and high forecasts) in the coming year. However, the second most important source of Park District revenues will be significantly negatively impacted by the pandemic. Fees and Charges for Services, which experienced a $7.2 million loss in 2020, will be affected again in 2021. The District continues to pursue the capital objectives of the Measure WW $500 million voter- approved debt authorization, and $80 million of new Measure WW bonds are planned to be issued in 2021, a portion of which will be designated as Green Bonds, for environmentally beneficial projects. Total expenditures in FY 2018/19 for EBRPD were $269 million and are budgeted to be $232 million in FY 2020/21. Of this total FY 2021 amount, 60% is budgeted to be spent on personnel costs, 20% is attributed to supplies and services, 12% is for intra-District and inter-agency obligations, nearly 6% goes to debt service, and nearly 2 % is allocated to capital outlay. Revenues are forecast to exceed expenditures in FY 2020/21 in the amount of $21 million. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Board members are elected by geographic district to four-year terms (details are provided in Table 28). EBRPD also has a Park Advisory Committee made up of 21 citizen-members, appointed by the EBRPD Board of Directors. Advisory Committee members are appointed for two-year terms and may serve a total of four consecutive terms, or eight years. The Board meets twice a month on the first and third Tuesdays at 1:00 pm, typically at the district headquarters in Oakland. During COVID, Board meetings are held via telephone and video conference. Board meeting agendas and minutes are posted in multiple locations. In addition to the required agendas and minutes, EBRPD updates constituents with a bimonthly newsletter and through community outreach programs. EBRPD also posts public documents on its website. Financial planning documents include an annually adopted budget and annually audited financial statement. EBRPD conducts capital improvement planning in the annual budget, and maintains an outlook of up to five years. Capital improvement plans are updated annually.

MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The residential population served by the District is projected to expand significantly at an average annual rate of 1.02%, equivalent to expected growth of approximately 22%, or 639,545 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 3,479,665 people. b) The District’s population is projected to grow at a faster rate than the County’s population overall, which is expected to grow at an average of 0.72% per year, as growth in Alameda County is expected to outpace growth in Contra Costa County. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) There are a number of disadvantaged communities located within the District’s sphere of influence. In all cases, the communities appear to have good access to the District’s parks and facilities. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The District offers approximately 125,000 acres of parkland and open space, representing approximately 44 acres per 1,000 residents. Most of the active parks are well-amenitized with picnic and BBQ areas, other recreation features, and restrooms. b) The District performs regular capital improvements that help maintain the District’s parks and facilities in mostly very good condition. c) Pre-COVID, the District offered very robust recreational programming and activities for all segments of the resident population. During this COVID period, the District is identifying and developing virtual experiences and other programming to support distance learning. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 6. East Bay Regional Park District Page 74 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) The District has an annual operating budget of approximately $230 million per year, with revenues primarily coming from taxes and assessments and charges for services. Publicly available budget documents indicate that the District is adequately resourced; however, this is being challenged during COVID and expenditures are expected to exceed revenues in FY 20/21. b) EBRPD publishes a Project and Program Budget and Five-Year Expenditure Plan each year that supports implementation of capital priorities. For the five-year period from FY 2020 through FY 2024, nearly $390 million of capital improvements are identified. The District has identified funding consisting primarily of District Revenue Sources and District Bonds. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District shares facilities and management responsibilities with other agencies where it is efficient to do so. For example, the District manages several properties for the State of California including the McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, Del Valle, and Crown Beach, and also shares management of some watershed/park land with local water agencies (EBMUD, Contra Costa and San Francisco) and with LARPD. The Ardenwood Historic Farm is jointly operated with the City of Fremont, and Mission Peak is owned by the City of Fremont and managed by EBRPD. The Hayward Regional Shoreline is jointly managed with the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, the City of Hayward, and Alameda County Flood Control. In addition, the EBRPD is responsible for the maintenance and operation of parks, open space and trails in the Murray Township area, which is in the LARPD boundary. b) No additional opportunities for shared facilities were identified as part of this MSR update. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is accountable to its service population and provides transparent governance and operations information. The District’s website provides access to the agendas and minutes for the Board of Directors meetings and the Park Advisory Committee meetings. The website also provides access to annual budgets and capital improvement plans. b) The District makes efforts to reach out to the community through its monthly e- newsletter and its website which is easy to navigate. c) No changes to the District’s governmental structure appear warranted. 7. Any Other Matter Related to Efficient Service Delivery, As Required by Commission Policy a) COVID-19 had a significant effect on the District’s ability to offer recreational programs and activities and, in turn, on the District’s user fee revenues. While this has negatively affected the District’s revenues, there have been some operational savings that have partially off-set the loss in revenue. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx 7. CITY PARKS & RECREATION & SERVICES In 2019, Contra Costa LAFCO adopted a second-round “City Services” MSR and SOI Study. This chapter builds on that effort and provides a more detailed overview of the park and recreation services provided by the 19 incorporated towns and cities in Contra Costa County. Overall, most city populations are projected to grow at a slower rate than the Countywide average, while Brentwood and Oakley are expected to far outpace the county average growth by 2040. Developed parkland acreage provision within cities varies considerably, ranging from just under 1 acre per 1,000 residents to almost 13 acres per 1,000 residents. The cities provide equitable access to a broad range of recreation services for all residents, and, overall, facilities are in moderate to good condition. All cities follow best practices for websites, reporting, and planning. While COVID-19 has affected every city to varying degrees, all cities report that they anticipate the ability to continue providing adequate parks and recreation services despite the budgetary setbacks realized due to the pandemic and its effects. Detailed maps of all cities’ boundaries, SOIs, and urban growth boundaries are included in Appendix B. Overview of Agencies There are 19 incorporated towns and cities in Contra Costa County. All towns and cities in the County are the primary providers of Parks and Recreation services within their jurisdiction and are addressed within this chapter with the exception of the City of Pleasant Hill. Parks and Recreation services for the City of Pleasant Hill are provided through the Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District which is addressed within Chapter 5. This chapter primarily focuses on the 18 Contra Costa County cities that provide Parks and Recreation services within their jurisdictions. Growth and Population Projections Many of the incorporated cities in the County are expected to be slower growth areas, with 12 of the 19 cities projected to have a lower compound annual population growth rate than the countywide compound annual growth rate of 0.72% between 2020 and 2040. Five cities, Antioch, Concord, Oakley, Pittsburg, and Richmond, are expected to grow between 1 and 2% in that time. One city, Brentwood, is expected to grow at a relatively fast pace of 2%. Walnut Creek is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.80%. In absolute terms, population growth projections between 2020 and 2040 range from a gain of a few hundred residents (such as in Clayton and Orinda) to a gain of over 50,000 residents (as in the case of Concord). The majority of cities in the county are expected to gain less than 10,000 residents by 2040. Oakley, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek are projected to add between 10,000 and 20,000 residents while Antioch, Brentwood and Richmond are expected to add anywhere from 27,000 to 37,000 residents each. Meanwhile, the unincorporated areas of the county are expected to decline in population, losing roughly 50,000 residents during the same time period. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 76 With regard to methodology for all cities, the 2020 population estimates are from Table E-1 of the California Department of Finance January 2019 estimates and the projected population growth between 2020 and 2040 shown in Figure 1 are from the regional planning agency (ABAG/MTC) Plan Bay Area. The resulting 2040 population projections are therefore a combination of Department of Finance and ABAG/MTC estimates. As with all growth projections, it should be noted that these are estimates based on the best available information at the time. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health crisis, its impacts on future growth in the County are uncertain, and the projections shown in Figure 1 may vary from actual future growth. Figure 1 Cities’ Growth and Population Projections Disadvantaged Communities Of the 18 cities, 11 have Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) within their jurisdiction or SOI. All 11 cities report that residents of the Disadvantaged Communities have the same park and recreation access as the other members of their communities. Many cities indicated that they provide financial scholarships and funding opportunities for economically disadvantaged members of their community to help defray the costs of recreational program participation.

City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 77 Adequacy of Park and Recreation Facilities and Services The primary metric used in assessing a city’s adequacy of parks and recreation service provision is the amount of park acreage provided. This section focuses on developed neighborhood and community parkland only, with open space acreage addressed separately within each city’s individual determinations. Topography, urbanization, city size, and other factors can work to constrain the amount of park acreage a city is able to provide. Figure 2 shows the existing developed neighborhood and community park acreage per 1,000 residents for each city. The Quimby Act allows California cities and counties to require land dedication or enact fees as a condition of the approval of a parcel subdivision map. The Act enables jurisdictions to set a Level of Service (LOS) standard of between three and five park acres per 1,000 residents with which to determine the proportional amount of land to be dedicated or fees to be paid by developers when seeking parcel subdivision approval. Figure 2 displays both the current neighborhood and community park acreage per 1,000 residents for each of the 18 cities addressed in this Chapter in conjunction with each city’s adopted LOS standard. It is important to emphasize that Figure 2 excludes any undeveloped parkland or open space acreage that may exist in each city, instead focusing on developed neighborhood and community parkland in order to enhance comparability between cities. Each city’s adopted LOS standard displayed is representative of what cities reported during the data gathering for this report or what is stated within their municipal codes. The exact criteria by which cities measure their LOS standards can vary, and may include open space or other types of park acreage in their calculations that are not included within their LOS presented in Figure 2. The LOS values presented herein may differ from a city’s own internal calculation for purposes of determining whether they are meeting their own LOS standards. Note that Pinole is omitted as an outlier in order to enhance readability as the city provides a particularly high park acreage per 1,000 residents. Pinole’s current park acreage LOS is denoted within the text box included in Figure 2. As a point of comparison, the County’s General Plan goal is 4.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. Across the County, most (13 out of 15) cities do not have a developed neighborhood and community parkland LOS that meets their adopted LOS standard, with an average deficiency of 1.9 acres per 1,000 residents. Of the 15 cities with an adopted LOS standard, 10 have an LOS standard of 5 acres per 1,000 residents. Concord, Danville, and San Ramon have LOS standards above 6 acres per 1,000 residents and Clayton18 and Richmond have standards below 5 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 residents. El Cerrito also has an adopted LOS standard of 5 acres per 1,000 residents, however its adopted LOS standard includes recreation and open space acreage, not just developed neighborhood and community parkland acreage, and as such, their LOS standard is omitted from Figure 2. While having an adopted LOS standard is considered best practice, two municipalities, Moraga and San Pablo, do not have adopted park acreage LOS standards. While Moraga is currently 18 The City of Clayton has an LOS standard of 10 acres per 1,000 residents, however three of those acres are to be developed parkland with the remaining seven being devoted to open space.

City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 78 ninth in the County in terms of park acreage provision per capita, San Pablo has the lowest in the County. Adopting a Quimby In-Lieu fee can aid cities in procuring funds to increase park acreage provision for their residents. There are two cities, Martinez and Pinole, whose current park acreage LOS exceeds their adopted LOS standard. It is pertinent to reiterate these findings relate only to developed neighborhood and community park acreage and omit the existing levels of open space acreage within each city. Figure 2 Cities’ Neighborhood and Community Park Acreage Levels of Service In addition to the neighborhood and community parkland that each city maintains and operates, there are park and open space areas that are either within cities’ boundaries or in close proximity, granting residents access to additional parkland beyond what is captured in Figure 2. These additional park and open space areas effectively increase the parkland acreage per resident for each city. Table 30 lists the park and open space areas in or near each city that are owned, maintained, or operated by other agencies or jurisdictions. Figure 3 is an extension of Figure 2 and includes the park and open space areas that are in or adjacent to each city in addition to each city’s neighborhood and community parkland, demonstrating how parks and open space owned and maintained by other jurisdictions improve park and recreation access for the County’s residents.

City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 81 Figure 4 Condition of Existing Park and Recreation Facilities Overall, most cities in Contra Costa County reported that the majority of their park and recreation facilities are in good condition. The City of Pinole was the only city to indicate that no facilities are in “good” condition, and that all are in “moderate” condition. The cities of Lafayette, Pittsburg, San Pablo, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek indicated that at least one of their facilities is in poor condition, with Pittsburg reporting the highest percentage of facilities in poor condition. Brentwood, Concord, Danville, Moraga, and Oakley all reported that 100% of their facilities are in good condition. The City of Antioch did not provide data relating to the current levels of facility upkeep. A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a short-range plan produced by cities used to identify necessary infrastructure projects and funding options. These are generally higher cost projects that require a longer timeline in order to budget accordingly, and most cities produce CIPs on multiyear interims. Cities will typically include a CIP category specific to Parks and Recreation, which may include projects such as playground equipment improvements, park landscaping, and recreation facility construction or upkeep. All 18 cities have current adopted CIPs. Ten of the 18 cities indicate that 100% of their current Parks and Recreation-related CIP projects have fully identified funding sources. The cities of Concord and Walnut Creek did not provide information related to the portion of their current CIP projects that have identified funding, and the cities of Martinez and San Pablo did not provide funding source information related to their future CIP projects. Seven cities indicated that a Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 82 portion of their future Parks and Recreation-related CIP projects have funding identified, and five cities did not indicate the presence of any future parks-related CIP projects. Three cities, Pinole, Richmond, and Walnut Creek indicated that 100% of all future Parks and Recreation-related CIP projects have funding sources fully identified. The cities and towns in Contra Costa County offer a myriad of recreation programming, including classes, sports leagues, and events for all age groups. Nearly all of the cities (14 out of 18) indicate that they offer some form of classes to their residents. Fourteen of the cities indicate that they offer either sports leagues or sports-related summer camps for youths. Community events hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department, such as concert or movie series, holiday-themed community events, or parades are offered by 13 of the cities according to information received for this MSR process. Financial Ability to Provide Services Every city reported that current levels of financing are adequate for current park and recreation service provision. It is important to note that this MSR effort attempted to assess the state of parks and recreation services under normal circumstances. COVID-19 has had significant impacts on the fiscal status of municipal governments and most cities indicate that their parks and recreation departments have been adversely affected. The magnitude of the negative financial impacts is typically correlated with the amount that the department relies on recreation user fee revenue to fund operations. COVID-19 health order restrictions have severely limited the number and scale of allowable programming and facility rentals since March of 2020, and those cities that rely heavily on these revenues have felt the brunt of the impact. Figure 5 demonstrates the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budgeted Parks and Recreation-related expenditures for each city presented on a per capita basis. Due to the various sizes and populations of each city, it is necessary to normalize the expenditures by population size in order to allow for a reasonable comparison between each city. On average, cities in Contra Costa County are spending $157 per resident on parks and recreation expenditures each year. Ten cities are below this average and eight cities are above. The City of Clayton spends the least per capita, at $16, although it is pertinent to note that Clayton has the smallest population and does not offer recreational programming. The City of Walnut Creek, at $589 per capita, reported the highest annual parks and recreation-related expenditures. Walnut Creek has a substantial amount of open space acreage to maintain which contributes to their significantly higher reported expenditures. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 7. City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 83 Figure 5 Budgeted FY19-20 Parks and Recreation-Related Expenditures per Capita Cities generally attempt to collect cost recovery revenues for certain types of services provided. User fees, rental fees, and recreational programming enrollment fees are the primary types of revenues used by cities to offset Parks and Recreation expenditures. Typically, any expenditures not offset by user fee revenues are funded through a city’s General Fund, although some cities may have specialized funds that contribute to Parks and Recreation Departments. While funding structures and overall financial health vary between cities, in general a higher cost recovery proportion may indicate the fiscal strength of a Parks and Recreation Department as their activities are more able to pay for themselves and do not rely on General Fund revenues. In light of current health order restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, cities that rely heavily on cost recovery revenues to fund their Parks and Recreation functions are more at risk for funding issues as county-mandated shutdowns of large in-person gatherings severely limit a city’s ability to provide programming. Cities that do not rely heavily on cost recovery revenues are perhaps better-positioned to withstand the negative fiscal impacts due to the pandemic without having to make drastic changes to staffing levels and service provision. Figure 6 displays each city’s cost recovery revenues as a proportion of their total Parks and Recreation-related expenditures for Fiscal Year 2019-20.19 19 The City of Lafayette provided Fiscal Year 2018-19 values.

City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 84 Figure 6 FY19-20 Budgeted Parks and Recreation Cost Recovery Percentage All cities with the exception of Clayton reported at least some budgeted cost recovery revenues for Fiscal Year 19-20. Four cities, El Cerrito, Hercules, Orinda, and Walnut Creek indicate that at least half of their Parks and Recreation-related expenditures were recovered through departmental revenues, with the City of Hercules reporting the highest proportion of recovery at almost 70%. The average across all cities analyzed is 28%. A Development Impact Fee is a tool utilized by cities which charges a developer applicant an amount proportional to the impact that particular development will have on certain city-provided services or facilities. It is a tool commonly used to generate funding for infrastructure improvements, and can be used to fund recreation facilities as well as parkland acquisition. All Contra Costa County cities have some form of Parks and Recreation-related impact fees enacted with the exception of Danville, El Cerrito, Pittsburg, and San Pablo. Six cities, Brentwood, Concord, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, and Moraga each have one set of Parks or Recreation- related Development Impact Fees adopted. Four cities, Clayton, Pinole, Richmond, and Walnut Creek, each have either a Quimby In-Lieu Fee or a Parkland Dedication/Acquisition Fee. Four cities, Antioch, Oakley, Orinda, and San Ramon, have both types of fees. Shared Facilities and Cooperation Sharing Park and Recreation facilities either through joint-use agreements or renting is a cost- saving or revenue-generating strategy that can allow cities to expand their recreational offerings Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

City Parks & Recreation & Services Page 85 without necessitating the large capital expenditures related to new facility construction. Fifteen of the 18 cities examined in this chapter indicate that they share facilities with at least one other district or organization. The cities of Hercules and Martinez both indicate that they do not currently share any facilities, and the City of Clayton did not indicate its status of shared facilities. There are a number of cities that are either adjacent to or overlapping with county agencies such as County Services Areas (CSAs), Community Services Districts (CSDs), and Recreation and Park Districts (RPDs). Proximity to or overlap with these jurisdictional boundaries may indicate potential opportunities for shared facilities. Thirteen of the 18 cities are either adjacent to or overlapping with these special districts. Only the cities of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Oakley, and Richmond are not overlapping or abutting to any CSAs, CSDs, or RPDs. Accountability for Community Service Needs All cities indicate adequate accountability in regard to Community Service Needs. Each city provides access to agendas and minutes for Council and Commission meetings on their website as well as public notices for time and place of meetings. Every city demonstrated accountability and transparency by disclosing financial and service-related information in response to LAFCO requests. Fifteen out of the 18 cities have some form of a Parks and Recreation Commission established. Most of these are specifically related to Parks and Recreation, with the exception of Clayton which has a Trails and Landscape Committee, Hercules, which has a Community and Library Services Commission, and San Pablo, which has a Community Services Standing Committee. Three cities - Oakley, Pinole, and Pittsburg - do not currently have a Parks and Recreation Commission or similar equivalent established. Impact of COVID-19 The fiscal and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been significant and widespread across almost all levels of government and private-sector organizations. Parks and Recreation Departments in particular have felt significant negative impacts of mandated social distancing requirements and the ensuing cancellation of recreational programming such as classes, sports, and summer camps, which for many departments are primary sources of revenue. Depending on the structure of each department’s budget, the severity of this impact can vary significantly. No city included in this MSR indicated that the fiscal impacts of COVID-19 is so severe as to necessitate the closure or dissolution of their Parks and Recreation Department. All cities reported that they anticipate the ability to continue providing adequate parks and recreation services despite the budgetary setbacks realized due to the pandemic and its effects. Many cities reported that they are taking steps to mitigate the current and expected fiscal setbacks caused by COVID-19. The most commonly reported efforts include the reduction in expenditures, deferment of capital investments, and the siphoning of reserve funds to compensate for the significant reductions in anticipated program revenues. Every city reported that some or all recreation programming was cancelled following the March 2020 Health Orders issued by the County and State. All cities indicated that modified programming, either via virtual means or socially distant in-person activities, have already been Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICTS A Community Services District (CSD) is a governance structure that can be formed in an unincorporated area to ensure that basic service needs are met. CSDs can provide a variety of services including water, sewer, police, fire, garbage collection, recreation, landscaping, street lighting, mosquito abatement, graffiti abatement, library and more. Services not provided by a CSD are typically provided by the County and/or special districts in unincorporated areas. Overview of Districts There are six CSDs within Contra Costa County, four of which provide park and recreation services to residents. This section provides an overview of the four CSDs providing park and recreation services, including how these services are provided, as well as growth and population projections, current and future service needs, infrastructure needs, service adequacy, and financing. Tables summarizing formation and subsequent changes to the Districts’ boundaries are provided in Appendix B, Tables B-5 through B-8. Crockett Community Services District The Crockett Community Services District (CCSD) was formed in July 2006 through the reorganization of three agencies: Crockett Sanitary District, County Sanitation District No. 5 (Port Costa), and County Service Area P-1. CCSD serves two separate and distinct communities— Crockett and Port Costa—and is authorized to provide the following services: wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal; public recreation; street lighting; landscape maintenance; graffiti abatement; and construction and maintenance of library buildings and cooperation with other governmental agencies for library services. CCSD encompasses 686 acres (1.07 square miles); its sphere of influence (SOI) extends beyond the district boundary. The unincorporated Crockett and Port Costa communities are not contiguous.

Diablo Community Services District The Diablo Community Services District was formed in 1969 by LAFCO and the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors to provide security and the maintenance of roads, bridges, culverts and Kay’s Trail within the community of Diablo. Kay’s Trail is an equestrian/pedestrian path located between Alameda Diablo and Mt Diablo Scenic Boulevard. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 8. Community Services Districts Page 126 The unincorporated community of Diablo is located at the foot of Mount Diablo and was settled in the early 1900s as a community of summer homes. Today Diablo consists of 390 homes, Diablo Country Club and a US Post Office. Diablo encompasses approximately 1,000 acres and the District’s sphere of influence (SOI) is coterminous with its service boundary. Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District The Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District (TDBCSD) provides and manages water, sewer, lighting, landscaping, levee maintenance, and parks and recreation services for the community. In addition, while the CSD Board has no land use or zoning authority, the CSD does advise the County on decisions related to police and fire services, residential and commercial development, and more. TDBCSD encompasses 4,838 acres; its sphere of influence (SOI) extends beyond the district boundary. Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District The Kensington Police Protection and Community Services (KPPCSD) provides police protection, parks and recreation, and waste management services to the unincorporated Kensington community. KPPCSD maintains the Community Center, Kensington Park and surrounding amenities, including the tot lot, swings, picnic areas, basketball court, and tennis courts. KPPCSD encompasses 1.2 square miles; its sphere of influence (SOI) is coterminous with its service boundary. Impact of COVID-19 The global pandemic and statewide shelter-in-place public health directives beginning in March 2020 have affected residents’ ability to access and use park and recreation facilities and services in each of the CSDs. However, most of the CSDs’ revenues come from property taxes and parcel taxes, which are relatively secure and have not been adversely affected by COVID. User charges for recreational programming have been severely diminished but so have recreational programming operating costs. In terms of capital improvements, none of the CSDs indicated that COVID is affecting their capital project planning. Growth and Population Projections The CSDs are all slow growth areas with annual growth rates ranging from 0.17% to 0.23% between 2020 and 2040. By contrast, Countywide annual average growth for this same time period is approximately 0.72%. With the exception of Discovery Bay, the populations of Crockett, Diablo and Kensington CSDs are small, ranging from 700 to 15,000. The Town of Discovery Bay has a population of approximately 15,000. In terms of absolute growth, Crockett, Diablo and Kensington are expected to add a few dozen to a couple hundred residents by 2040, while Discovery Bay is expected to add about 500 residents. For the Crockett, Discovery Bay and Kensington CSDs, the 2020 population estimate was arrived by taking the 2019 ESRI Business Analyst population estimate and applying the long-term growth rate of the relevant MTC Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ). The 2019 ESRI Business Analyst figure was judged to be more accurate than the respective CSDs population estimates that was published in the 2019 LAFCO Directory, which was a more rough, rounded estimate. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 8. Community Services Districts Page 127 Furthermore, it should be noted that because even the 2019 population estimates are derivations based on 2010 Census figures, the 2020 Census is likely to re-establish the current population benchmark. For the Diablo CSD, the 2020 population estimate was arrived at by taking the 2019 LAFCO Directory estimate and applying the long-term growth rate of the relevant TAZ. As with all growth projections, it should be noted that these are estimates based on the best available information at the time. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health crisis, its impacts on future growth in the District are uncertain, and the projections shown in Figure 7 may vary from actual future growth. Figure 7 Comparison CSDs’ Growth and Population Projections tables Service Duplication and Boundary Overlap Each of the four CSDs provides services to unincorporated communities in the County, and there are no instances of boundary overlap – with cities, other CSDs, or CSAs. The County boundary includes each of the CSAs as does the SOI of the East Bay Regional Park District. The Diablo CSD abuts the Green Valley RPD, CSA R-7, and the Town of Danville, but there are no indications of service duplication. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Community Services Districts Page 128 Shared Facilities and Cooperation The Crockett CSD shares Rithet Park, which is owned and maintained by C&H Sugar, and rents the swimming pool to John Swett High School for use by the swim team. In addition, the Crockett Bocce League maintains the bocce ball courts. None of the other CSDs indicated that they share facilities or identified that there are opportunities to share facilities in the future. Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities A portion of the area served by the Crockett CSD, the area west of Interstate 80, qualifies as a Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community. The residents of the disadvantaged community within the District have access to park and recreation facilities and services, although the District’s primary parks and recreation facilities are located east of Interstate 80. No other disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the other districts’ SOIs.

The CCSD also owns and operates a Community Center, public swimming pool, tennis courts, and bocce courts at Alexander Park, as well as a landscaped plaza in the downtown area, some bench seating at the World War I Memorial Hall, and the Rolph Memorial. The CSD provides nearly two acres of parks per 1,000 residents. The Crockett Community Center, originally built by the C&H Sugar Company, was transferred from the County to the CCSD as one of the conditions of LAFCO approval of the reorganization. The facility is now the venue for many local events and is available for rental by private users. There is limited recreational programming offered within the District to meet the needs of youths and adults. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Community Services Districts Page 131 Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District There are currently six parks in the TDBCSD service area for a total of nearly 30 acres, including one community center, representing approximately 2 acres of parks per 1,000 residents. The parks feature sports fields, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, horse shoes, bocce ball, BBQ areas, picnic tables, playgrounds, restrooms, dog areas, shade structures, and a community garden. There is a swimming pool at the Community Center and a splash pad at Ravenswood Park. In FY 2019/20, the District spent $61,000 on capital improvements, including nearly $39,000 at the Community Center Pool. The District maintains all of the public parks and landscaped areas in Discovery Bay. The landscaped areas in Discovery Bay are divided into five (5) landscape zones, two are owned by the District, and the remaining three are owned by Contra Costa County and maintained under contract by the District. The TDBCSD offers robust recreational programming to meet the needs of all residents, although programming was significantly affected by COVID-19. Classes and programs are published seasonally in the “Discovery Bay Activity Guide.” Classes and programs are taught by contract instructors. Planned capital improvements are described in the District’s budget documents and include investment in the Community Center Pool and the Ravenswood Park Play Structure, both of which were postponed from FY 2019/20 to FY 2020/21.

Community Services Districts Page 132 Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District There is currently one community center (also referred to as the Youth Hut) located in the 10- acre Kensington Park in the KPPCSD service area, as well as adjacent basketball courts and two full-size tennis courts and practice backboard. The KPPCSD provides approximately two acres of parks per 1,000 residents. The Community Center was recently renovated with seismic upgrades, abatement work, and parking upgrades. Public restroom upgrades in Kensington Park were completed as well. Funding was partially addressed with EBRPD Measure WW grant funds. With the renovation of the Community Center, the District’s park and recreation facilities are in very good repair. While the CSD does not provide recreational programming, there is some recreational programming offered through the Kensington Community Council.

Community Services Districts Page 133 Financial Ability to Provide Services Each of the CSDs have one or more secure sources of revenue to fund park and recreation services, including property taxes, special taxes, assessments, parcel taxes, and cost recovery charges. In each case, the park maintenance and/or recreation services are just one component of services offered by the CSDs, and the CSDs’ revenues exceed those needed for the park and recreation expenditures. Crockett Community Services District CCSD funds parks and recreation services with revenue from a tax of $50 per parcel and transfers of property tax revenue from CCSD’s General Fund. Other revenue sources include grants, loans, interest on invested reserves, cost recovery, facility rental fees, user charges, and miscellaneous fees. Each year, the CCSD reviews its park and recreation user fees to make sure its fee schedule is in line with other jurisdictions. Diablo Community Services District There is no dedicated funding source for the District’s only recreation asset, the equestrian/pedestrian trail (Kay’s Trail). Rather, District funding for maintenance of Kay’s trail comes from property tax revenue and Measure B revenue. Measure B is a special tax measure passed by voters in March 2018. Of the District’s expenditures, maintenance of Kay’s Trail is less than 1% of total expenditures each year (approximately $8,000). Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District The TDBCSD funds park maintenance and recreation services through property tax revenues to Landscape and Lighting District Zone #8, assessments to Landscape and Lighting District Zone #9, and cost recovery fees and charges for recreational classes, facility rentals, donations, novelty/beverage/food sales, and community center events. Capital expenditures are funded with reserves. Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District District funding for park and recreation facilities comes primarily from non-operating revenue such as property tax allocation and the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District Assessment, and has required General Fund subsidy in the past as shown in Figure 10. Revenues also come from operating revenue generated by community center rentals and tennis court charges. Because the Community Center has been closed for renovation, no rental revenue has been generated. With the renovation complete, the rental revenue is expected to increase. One of the Board’s priorities for the coming fiscal year is to review the Landscape Maintenance District assessment for ongoing maintenance of Kensington Park and discuss whether or not to propose increasing the assessment levy for Kensington Park to reduce or eliminate the current general fund subsidy for maintenance activities at that location.

The meeting agenda and minutes from previous meetings are posted on the CCSD website. Administrative services are housed at 628 Second Avenue, Suite 206, Crockett, where the department leases office space. With the formation of the CCSD in 2006, a Recreation Department was formed. The Department is managed by the Recreation Commission, which is composed of existing Committee members and Crockett Recreation Association Board members. The CCSD has six full-time employees and numerous temporary employees. The General Manager has the administrative authority and responsibility for the operation of the CCSD and the enforcement of all CCSD rules and regulations. The General Manager also has emergency authority as may be granted by the Board of Directors. The CCSD obtains legal services from an attorney under fee agreement with the law corporation Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver and Wilson. The CCSD obtains engineering services from a practicing engineer under fee agreement with RMA/Engineering and Management.

Crockett Community Services District MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The residential population served by the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 5%, or 156 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 3,465 people. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) The portion of the CCSD service area west of Interstate 80 is considered a disadvantaged community in that the median household income is less than 80% of the statewide median household income. b) The residents of the disadvantaged communities within the District have access to park and recreation facilities and services, although the District’s primary parks and recreation facilities are located east of Interstate 80. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) There are currently two parks in the CCSD service area featuring bocce courts, one community center, one swimming pool, and tennis courts. b) CCSD staff report that the Community Center turned 100 years old in 2020 and needs some work, as does the pool building at the swimming pool. Alexander Park and Rithet Park are in good condition as reported by the District and do not need major improvements at this time. c) The CCSD provides 1.9 acres of parks per 1,000 residents, which is insufficient relative to the County’s goal of 4.0 acres per 1,000 residents.

Community Services Districts Page 139 d) There is limited recreational programming offered within the District to meet the needs of youths and adults. e) The District’s annual budget includes a CIP list and funding strategy. Funding sources have been identified for 100% (nearly $170,000) of the District’s current planned parks and recreation-related capital expenditures for fiscal year 2020/21. Most of the identified funding comes from grants, Return-to-Source (RTS) funding, and the capital reserve fund. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) District funding for park and recreation services comes primarily from operating revenue generated by community center rentals, aquatics center revenue, and revenue from parks, bocce, and tennis court charges and rentals. Revenues also come from non- operating revenue such as the District’s recreation parcel tax, transfers of property tax revenues, and grants. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) Rithet Park was built in 1912 and renovated in 1997. While the park is owned and maintained by C&H Sugar, it is an important asset to the community and is accessible to all residents. b) The District did not identify other opportunities for shared facilities. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is accountable to its service population and provides transparent governance and operations. The District’s website provides access to the agendas and minutes for the Board meetings and its various commissions and committees, including the Recreation Commission, as well as annual budgets and audits. b) The District fully responded to LAFCO’s requests for information. c) The District makes efforts to reach out to the community through publication of an annual newsletter about the District and the periodic “Crockett Engaged” newsletter. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) COVID-19 is having a significant effect on the District’s ability to fund and provide Park and Recreation services. In response to COVID-19, the District is providing updated information related to the status of facilities. Most facilities are closed for recreational and public use; tennis courts are open with social distancing requirements in place. A note on the District’s website indicates that The Recreation Department has lost over $40K through May 2020 and anticipates an additional $40K+ in lost income at the Community Center through the end of September 2020. The Recreation Department had to furlough two employees. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Community Services Districts Page 140 Diablo Community Services District MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The residential population served by the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 3%, or 26 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 835 people. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The DCSD maintains a 100-yard long (one acre area) pedestrian and equestrian trail called Kay’s Trail and has no plans to expand parks and recreation in the future. b) Beyond the General Manager, the CSD does not have employees. c) The CSD does not provide recreational programming. d) The District’s annual budget includes a CIP list. Currently, there are no planned capital projects affecting Kay’s Trail. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) District funding for maintenance of Kay’s trail comes from property tax revenue and Measure B revenue. Measure B is a special tax measure passed by voters in March 2018. Of the District’s expenditures, maintenance of Kay’s Trail is less than 1% of total expenditures each year (approximately $8,000). 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District does not currently share any park and recreation facilities and did not identify any opportunities for shared facilities. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is accountable to its service population and provides transparent governance and operations information. The District’s website provides access to the agendas and minutes for the Board meetings, as well as annual budgets and audits. b) The District responded to LAFCO’s requests for information. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) COVID-19 has not had a material effect on the District’s ability to fund its maintenance of Kay’s Trail.

Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The residential population served by the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 3.5%, or 539 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 15,754 people. b) The future development of the Pantages Bay residential homes project will be in an area surrounded by Discovery Bay, and the Newport Pointe residential homes project will be in an area adjoining Discovery Bay. These development projects have been approved by Contra Costa County. While LAFCO already approved the SOI update and annexation of Newport Pointe to the District, the Discovery Bay CSD anticipates the area of the Pantages Bay residential homes project will be brought into the Town's SOI and service boundary as well. The CSD also recognizes the potential for future residential and commercial development surrounding the SOI and Town boundary, which may necessitate future expansion and annexation. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) There are currently six (6) parks in the TDBCSD service area for a total of nearly 30 acres, including one community center. The parks feature sports fields, tennis courts, BBQ areas, picnic tables, playgrounds, restrooms, and dog areas. There is a swimming pool at the Community Center and a splash pad at Ravenswood Park. b) The District maintains all of the public parks and landscaped areas in Discovery Bay. The landscaped areas in Discovery Bay are divided into five (5) landscape zones, two are owned by the District, and the remaining three are owned by Contra Costa County and maintained under contract by the District. c) The CSD provides approximately two acres of parks per 1,000 residents. d) The CSD offers robust recreational programming to meet the needs of all residents, although programming was significantly affected by COVID-19. Classes and programs are published seasonally in the “Discovery Bay Activity Guide.” Classes and programs are taught by contract instructors. e) The District’s annual budget includes a CIP list and funding strategy. In fiscal year 20/21 plans are underway to complete the Community Center pool project; convert two tennis courts to pickleball courts; and prepare a Landscaping Master Plan. f) The majority of the District’s parks facilities are in moderate condition as reported by the District, with Regatta Park needing more substantial renovation while Slifer Park is in very good condition.

Community Services Districts Page 142 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) District funding for the maintenance of parks and landscaped areas comes from property tax revenues to Landscape and Lighting District Zone #8 and assessments to Landscape and Lighting District Zone #9. b) Funding for recreation services, also provided through Landscape and Lighting District Zone #8, comes primarily from cost recovery fees and charges for recreational classes, facility rentals, donations, novelty/beverage/food sales and community center events. c) Reserve Funds have been established for emergency use for the Lighting and Landscape District Zone #8 and the Lighting and Landscape District Zone #9. The reserves are 50% of Zone #8 and Zone #9 operating budgets. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District does not share any facilities with other jurisdictions and did not identify any opportunities for shared facilities. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is accountable to its service population and provides transparent governance and operations. The District’s website provides access to the agendas and minutes for the Park & Recreation Committee, as well as annual budgets and audits. b) The District responded to LAFCO’s requests for information in a timely manner. c) The District makes efforts to reach out to the community through publication of its seasonal Activity Guide. Staff has increased use of the Town’s Facebook page and website to promote our various recreation programs, activities and events occurring throughout the year. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) COVID-19 has affected the District’s ability to offer recreation classes, programs, and activities, and the District is now providing virtual programs. The District’s fiscal situation has not changed significantly; however, the longer the pandemic precludes the District from offering recreational programming, the more likely the District is to experience negative fiscal effects. Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The residential population served by KPPCSD is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 3.6%, or 92 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 2,672 people.

Community Services Districts Page 143 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) There is currently one community center (also referred to as the Youth Hut) located in Kensington Park in the CSD service area, as well as adjacent basketball courts and two full-size tennis courts and practice backboard. b) The Community Center was recently renovated with seismic upgrades, abatement work, and parking upgrades. Public restroom upgrades in Kensington Park were completed as well. Funding was partially addressed with EBRPD Measure WW grant funds. c) The KPPCSD provides nearly 1.9 acres of parks per 1,000 residents, which is insufficient relative to the County’s goal of 4.0 acres per 1,000 residents. d) While the KPPCSD does not provide recreational programming, there is some recreational programming offered through the Kensington Community Council. e) The District’s annual budget includes a capital outlay plan. For fiscal year 2020/21, the most significant capital outlay is the Community Center loan repayment. f) With the renovation of the Community Center, the District’s park and recreation facilities are in very good repair. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) District funding for park and recreation facilities comes primarily from non-operating revenue such as property tax allocation and the Landscape & Lighting Maintenance District Assessment. Revenues also comes from operating revenue generated by community center rentals and tennis court charges. Because the Community Center is closed for renovation, no rental revenue has been generated. With the renovation, the rental revenue is expected to increase. b) Currently, park and recreation facility expenses exceed revenues and require subsidy from the District’s General Fund. One of the Board’s priorities for the coming fiscal year is to review the Landscape Maintenance District assessment for ongoing maintenance of Kensington Park and discuss whether or not to propose increasing the assessment levy for Kensington Park to reduce or eliminate the current General Fund subsidy for maintenance activities at that location. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District did not identify opportunities for shared facilities. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) The District is accountable to its service population and provides transparent governance and operations information. The District’s website provides access to the agendas and minutes for the Board meetings, as well as annual budgets and audits. b) The District responded to LAFCO’s requests for information.

Community Services Districts Page 144 c) For some time, the CSD Board was focused on recruiting and retaining a permanent General Manager. This management position was filled in early 2021. d) The District makes limited efforts to reach out to the community through publication of an occasional newsletter. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) Between the planned renovation of the Community Center which meant the facility was closed and unavailable to rent (beginning March 2019), and COVID-19 (beginning March 2020), the District has faced nearly two years of diminished facility rental revenue. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx 9. COUNTY SERVICE AREAS There are eight County Service Areas (CSAs) in Contra Costa County that provide funding for enhanced park and recreation services in a specific area. CSAs M-16, M-17, R-7, R-9, and R-10 are administered by Contra Costa County for park and recreation services in unincorporated areas, and CSAs M-29, M-30 and R-4 are administered by the City of San Ramon, the Town of Danville and the Town of Moraga, respectively, for enhanced park and recreation services provided within the city limits. Overview of Districts The boundary histories are presented in Appendix B, Table B-4. Maps of each CSA are provided in Appendix E and are also available on the Contra Costa LAFCO website. Impact of COVID-19 As with many offices adjusting to the social distancing and stay-at-home orders of 2020, the County is altering its work. While Special Districts staff is largely working remotely and therefore largely unaffected, necessary in-person functions such as landscape maintenance have been reduced to essential services since the Spring of 2020. The effect of the pandemic is not yet anticipated to have an impact on funding. The CSA Manager is being strategic with capital plans, taking advantage of this opportunity to increase the focus on planning and design as opposed to moving ahead with new projects. Growth and Population Projections Many of the CSAs are in slow-growth areas with average annual projected growth rates that are substantially lower than the Countywide average of 0.72% population growth during the next 20 years. Meanwhile, all but CSA R-9 are expected to have growth rates of less than 0.2%during that time. Even CSA R-9, the fastest growing of the eight park and recreation CSAs in the County, is only expected to grow by roughly 0.6% by 2040. The absolute number of new residents ranges from very small CSAs such as M-30, which is expected to add fewer than 10 residents, to larger CSAs such as R-9, which is expected to add nearly 1,700 residents. For CSAs M-16, M-17, R-4, R-7, R-9 and R-10, the 2020 population estimate was arrived at by taking the 2019 ESRI Business Analyst population estimate and applying the long-term growth rate of the relevant TAZ. The 2019 ESRI Business Analyst figure was judged to be more accurate than the CSAs population estimates that was published in the 2019 LAFCO Directory, which was an estimate. For the two CSAs which deviated from this methodology (CSA M-29 and M-30), the 2020 population estimates were derived from the 2019 LAFCO Directory estimate and applying the long-term growth rate of the relevant TAZ. In the case of these two CSAs, the LAFCO Directory figures appear to be more accurate than ESRI Business Analyst population estimates. For CSA M- 29, the County’s estimates also closely match the City of San Ramon’s expectation of growth in that area. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 146 As with all growth projections, it should be noted that these are estimates based on the best available information at the time. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health crisis, its impacts on future growth in the District are uncertain, and the projections listed in Table 41 may vary from actual future growth.

Boundary Overlaps Boundary overlaps occur in the following areas:  CSA R-4 boundary includes all of the Town of Moraga as well as unincorporated areas  CSA M-30 is located entirely within CSA R-7  CSA M-29 is partially located within the City of San Ramon and partially located in the unincorporated area Shared Facilities and Cooperation CSAs engage in joint financing arrangements related to staffing and share facilities for park maintenance, landscaping, and administrative purposes. Several of the CSAs share facilities with local school districts. No other facility sharing opportunities were identified. Disadvantaged Communities There is one disadvantaged unincorporated community within the SOI of CSA R-10, the community of Rodeo. No other disadvantaged communities were identified within the CSAs.

County Service Areas Page 147 Present and Planned Capacity of Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services Table 42 presents the park and recreation facilities within each CSA. Of the CSAs that are administered by Contra Costa County for park and recreation services in unincorporated areas (CSAs M-16, M-17, R-7, R-9, and R-10), only CSA M-16, which serves the community of Clyde provides an adequate level of parkland within the boundary of the CSA for residents (3.3 acres per 1,000 residents). CSAs M-29, M-30 and R-4 are administered by the City of San Ramon, the Town of Danville and the Town of Moraga, respectively, for enhanced park and recreation services provided within the city limits. Residents in these CSA, whether they live in the incorporated boundary or not, have access to the city’s facilities and programming. The CSAs serve as financing mechanisms for enhanced park maintenance and recreation services, and as such, do not directly offer recreation programming or community events. The exception is R-7, which is managed through the Alamo Municipal Advisory Committee, and typically sponsors community events, such as “Movies under the Stars” and a summer concert series at Livorna Park. Financial Ability to Provide Services The County practices fund accounting, with separate funds established for each legally separate CSA. CSAs are primarily financed through property taxes. In addition, CSAs M-29 and M-30 also receive assessment revenue. All revenues for CSAs M-29, M-30 and R-4 are transferred to the respective city for use as the city sees fit for approved services. CSA R-9 has no regular financing source and assessments were denied twice by voters. CSA R-10 has no dedicated funding source and relies on facility rental revenue and program/user fees. Figure 11 and 12 present budgeted revenues and expenditures for FY 2020-2021, as adopted by the Board of Supervisors and as summarized in the County’s Special Districts Budget. Differences between budgeted figures and actual figures will correct for unanticipated expenses and/or actual costs incurred. The County reported that the current financing level for the County-administered CSAs is not adequate to deliver services; however, on behalf of CSA R-7, the Alamo MAC reports an annual surplus with current reserves of approximately $4 million.40 The County has repeatedly proposed measures to increase assessment revenues; however, these efforts have been rejected by voters. The County is presently looking for alternate funding sources to fill the funding gap, such as grants. The County is also looking for alternative ways to provide services at a reduced cost, such as working with non-profit organizations to provide recreation services in county-owned facilities. The cities reported that financing, while constrained, is generally sufficient to provide park and recreation services. 40 The Alamo MAC reports that the surplus would, ideally, be used for parkland acquisition; however, no land has been identified for this purpose at this time. Alternatively, the surplus may be used to replace facilities at the end of their useful life, and/or to further develop recreational programming. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Capital improvements are funded with impact fee or parkland Quimby in-lieu fee revenue if available, or grants, or County General Fund revenue. In the unincorporated area, the County imposes park-related development impact fees on new development with fees for single family units ranging from $6,616 per unit in East County to $8,129 per unit in the West/Central County. The County also requires parkland dedication for residential projects requiring a development plan or subdivision. Development requirements in place by the County require that new developments dedicate land for park and recreation facilities, or pay an in-lieu fee of $3,142 per single family home in East County or $4,489 in West/Central County.41 Regarding those CSAs that overlap with cities, the Town of Moraga charges a park development impact fee of $9,073 and a park in-lieu fee of $14,141 for a total park development fee of $23,214 per single family unit. The City of San Ramon does not charge a park development impact fee for units associated with the Dougherty Valley Specific Plan; however, it requires parkland dedications at a density of 6.5 acres per 1,000 residents. 41 https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/42080/Park-Fees-Overview?bidId= Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 151 Contra Costa County received State Proposition 68 revenue, allocated on a per capita basis to be used for park and recreation capital improvements. The County allocated $80,000 to each Supervisorial District and is in the process of determining how revenue will be spent. The County’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is more than ten years old and in the process of being updated. However, as of December 2020, there is no current CIP to reference. Preliminary ideas include as the following:  CSA M-16: a new play structure at Big Oak Tree Park  CSA M-17: a new roof for the Montarabay Community Center; ADA Parking lot and improvements to sports facilities  CSA R-7: shade structure at Hemme Station Park (note: County staff reports the shade structure is in the design stage and is expected to be installed by the end of 2021)  CSA R-9: no improvements planned at this time  CSA R-10: no improvements planned at this time Management & Accountability All CSAs are dependent special districts governed by the County Board of Supervisors. Board members are elected by supervisorial districts and serve staggered four-year terms. Board meetings are held weekly. Current board members and terms are shown in Table 43. In instances where a committee has been established (e.g., the Alamo Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) and CSA R-7), the MAC advises the Board of Supervisors. CSAs M-16, M-17, R-7, R-9, and R-10 are staffed and managed by the County Public Works Department Special Districts Unit. Special Districts staff include one full-time Civil Engineer, one full-time Manager, one full-time Administrative Services Analyst II, one full-time Administrative Services Analyst III, and one full-time Senior Engineering Technician. In addition, the Unit has the support of one student worker until May 2021. In addition to the CSAs included in the MSR, the Special Districts Unit staffs 32 Lighting and Landscaping Districts and three (3) County Facility Districts. The County does not designate specific staff to the respective CSAs; rather, all full-time staff splits their time between all areas served. Staff reports to the Special Districts Manager, and the Manager reports to the Senior Civil Engineer. The Senior Civil Engineer reports to the Engineering Services Division Manager. The Division Manager reports to the Assistant Public Works Directors. For each of the CSAs, the administrative staff formulates and monitors budgets, and coordinates and oversees infrastructure improvements and installation specific to each district. The County estimates that approximately one full-time equivalent from the Special Districts Unit is dedicated to these five CSAs. In addition, the General Services Department provides staff for maintenance of the CSA M-16, R-7 and R-9 park facilities. The County estimated that there are 1.3 full-time equivalents dedicated to the maintenance of R-7 facilities, while the maintenance of M-16 is done through a contractor and the maintenance of R- 9 facilities is performed by request.

County Service Areas Page 152 With the exception residents in CSA R-7, who are represented through the Alamo MAC, accountability to constituents within the CSAs is constrained due to a lack of representation on advisory committees and the lack of a citizens advisory committee altogether. Further, there is generally a lack of outreach and information promoting the availability of recreation programming within the CSAs. Additionally, accountability would be improved if the County included a brief description of what each CSA funds within the Special Districts Budget each year.

County Service Areas Page 153 CSA M-16 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA provides park maintenance services to the unincorporated community of Clyde. The residential population served by the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 2.3%, or 17 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 750 people. This level of projected growth is not anticipated to materially impact service demand. b) Clyde is located three miles from Downtown Concord on the east side of the Port Chicago Highway, north of Highway 4. The community of Clyde is entirely within the City of Concord’s SOI and is also included in the Concord General Plan, although Concord has no plans to annex Clyde at this time. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) There are currently four parks within the boundaries of CSA M-16, totaling 2.4 acres of passive parkland and representing 3.3 acres per 1,000 residents. CSA M-16 appears to have sufficient capacity to serve the residents within its boundaries. b) All four parks are owned and maintained by the County. Maybeck Park is reported to be in “Very Good” condition, while Big Oak Tree Park, Clyde Park, and Marie Porter Park are in “Moderate” condition. c) The CSA does not provide recreational programming.

County Service Areas Page 154 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) District funding for park maintenance comes from property taxes. The most significant challenge for the District is unfunded deferred maintenance. b) County staff reports that the current level of funding is not sufficient for adequate service provision. There are significant capital needs which have not been addressed because the current financing level is not adequate to provide services. Planned FY 2020/21 expenditures are expected to exceed revenues by approximately $90,000, which means maintenance and other expenses may need to be partially deferred. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District does not currently share any facilities and County staff did not identify opportunities for shared facilities. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) Typically, accountability to local voters would be achieved through the CSA advisory committee; however, the M-16 advisory committee has effectively dissolved as each of the seven seats is vacant. b) The CSA, via County staff, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information. c) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) COVID-19 is not significantly affecting the County’s ability to maintain the four parks within the boundaries of the CSA, and the County’s parks are open as of the fall of 2020. Some features/amenities remain closed such as water fountains and basketball courts. SOI Option 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Retain the existing coterminous SOI. Based on the research and determinations in the MSR, there have not been any changes since 2010 that would alter this recommendation, and the current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI until such time that the City of Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 155 Concord annexes the area. The district is contiguous to the City of Concord and with Concord’s SOI. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries encompass primarily residential uses. The CSA has no land use authority; however, County plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the District’s ability to provide services. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. There is a present and probable future need for ongoing park and recreation services within the boundaries of the CSA. Population within the District is expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 0.11%. No changes in public facilities or services provided by CSA M- 16 will result from this SOI update. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The County generally provides adequate park maintenance services within CSA M-16. There are 2.4 acres of parkland maintained within the District, which translates into 3.3 acres of parkland per 1,000 district residents, short of the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that CSA M-16 provides or is authorized to provide. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) CSA M-16 funds park maintenance within the community of Clyde. Clyde is located three miles from Downtown Concord on the east side of the Port Chicago Highway, north of Highway 4. The community of Clyde is entirely within the City of Concord’s SOI and is also included in the Concord General Plan, although Concord has no plans to annex Clyde at this time.

County Service Areas Page 156 CSA M-17 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA provides park maintenance services to the unincorporated community of Tara Hills, Bayview and Montalvin Manor. The residential population served by the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 3.1%, or 302 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 10,058 people. This level of projected growth is not anticipated to materially impact service demand. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence, but there is a disadvantaged community adjacent to CSA M-17 within the City of Richmond. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) There are currently two parks within the boundaries of CSA M-17, totaling 11 acres of passive and active parkland and representing 1.1 acres per 1,000 residents. The Montarabay Park includes a Community Center and Ball Field Complex. With respect to the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of neighborhood park facilities per 1,000 residents, CSA M-17 appears to have insufficient capacity to serve the residents within its boundaries. b) Motalvin Park and Montarabay Park and associated facilities are owned and maintained by the County, and both are reported to be in “Moderate” condition. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) District funding for park maintenance comes from property taxes and rental of the Community Center. The most significant challenge for the District is unfunded deferred maintenance. b) County staff reports that the current level of funding is not sufficient for adequate service provision. There are significant capital needs which have not been addressed because the current financing level is not adequate to provide services. Planned FY 2020/21 expenditures are expected to exceed revenues by approximately $158,000, which means maintenance and other expenses may need to be partially deferred. c) When the contract with the maintenance provider expires in the coming months, County staff expects maintenance costs to increase.

Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District does not currently share any facilities and County staff did not identify opportunities for shared facilities. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) Accountability to local voters typically is achieved through the CSA advisory committee. However, the CSA M-17 advisory committee is currently inactive. b) The CSA, via County staff, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information. c) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) COVID-19 is not significantly affecting the County’s ability to maintain the two parks within the boundaries of the CSA, and the County’s parks are open as of the fall of 2020. Some features/amenities remain closed such as water fountains, bathrooms, basketball courts, and the community center. SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Retain the existing coterminous SOI. Based on the research and determinations in the MSR, there have not been any changes since 2010 that would alter this recommendation, and the current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI. The district is contiguous to the cities of Pinole and Richmond. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries encompass primarily residential uses, with some limited commercial uses. The CSA has no land use authority; however, County plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the District’s ability to provide services. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area.

Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The County generally provides adequate park maintenance services within CSA M-17. There are 11 acres of parkland maintained within the District, which translates into 1.1 acres of parkland per 1,000 district residents, short of the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that CSA M-17 provides or is authorized to provide. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence, but there is a disadvantaged community adjacent to CSA M-17 within the City of Richmond. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) CSA M-17 provides park maintenance services to the unincorporated community of Tara Hills, Bayview and Montalvin Manor. Other services are provided by the County. CSA M-29 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA boundary is consistent with the Dougherty Valley Specific Plan area, most of which lies within the boundaries of the City of San Ramon. The residential population served by the District is steadily growing, with expected growth of approximately 3.5%, or 1,171 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 34,228 people. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The CSA provides financing for park and recreation facility maintenance in the City of San Ramon. The City uses CSA funds to provide park and facility maintenance services within City limits. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 159 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) The County’s budget indicates the District’s funding comes from charges for services and property taxes. Planned FY 2020/21 expenditures are expected to exceed revenues by approximately $6.1 million, which means maintenance and other expenses may need to be partially deferred. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The City shares facilities with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) at every school site in San Ramon. No additional opportunities for facility sharing within the CSA’s boundaries were identified by the City. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) CSA M-29 funds are administered by the Finance Division of the City of San Ramon. CSA M-29 funds for park and recreation facility maintenance are managed by the Director of the Public Services Department, who reports to the City Manager. There is also a Parks and Community Services Commission that advises the City Council regarding matters related to park and recreation services. The Commission is comprised of seven members and a student commissioner—all residents of the City of San Ramon. Individuals from the unincorporated portion of the CSA may not sit on the Commission. In this way residents of the CSA are not represented as decisions about how to spend funding are made. b) The CSA, via County staff, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information. c) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) Funding provided through CSA M-29 has not been adversely affected by COVID-19. SOI Option 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Retain the existing coterminous SOI. Based on the research and determinations in the MSR, there have not been any changes since 2010 that would alter this recommendation, and the current recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI. CSA M-29 has a steady revenue source through the City, and is integral to ensuring continued service in the future for the DVSP development. The City recently completed its final Dougherty Valley annexation. Once the area has been built-out and the territory within CSA M-29 has been entirely annexed by the City, it is recommended that the City and County collaborate to find a more efficient manner for the City to continue to receive financing for these services. One possibility may be the establishment of an assessment district within the City of San Ramon. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 160 SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The CSA boundary is consistent with the Dougherty Valley Specific Plan area, most of which lies within the boundaries of the City of San Ramon. The District boundaries encompass primarily residential and commercial uses, with parkland. The CSA has no land use authority; however, City plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the availability of funding. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. There is a present and probable future need for ongoing park and recreation services within the boundaries of the CSA. Population within the District is expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 0.17%. No changes in public facilities or services funded by CSA M-29 will result from this SOI update. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The City of San Ramon generally provides adequate park maintenance services for residents within CSA M-29. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that CSA M-29 funds. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5.

CSA M-30 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA provides financing for extended facilities and services in the unincorporated community of Alamo Springs through the Town of Danville. The residential population served by the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 3.6%, or 5 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 145 people. There are 40 parcels within CSA M-30 that have had a building permit issued. This level of projected growth is not anticipated to materially impact service demand. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 161 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The CSA provides financing for extended facilities and services in the unincorporated community of Alamo Springs through the Town of Danville. Among the services funded, the Town uses CSA funds to provide park, recreation and other services within Town limits – there are no park facilities within the CSA boundary. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) The Final Annual Report for FY 2020/21 for CSA M-30 indicates revenue comes from an annual levy of assessments on the parcels located within CSA M-30. Each year the service charge is adjusted by CPI plus 2.0%, resulting in an annual rate for 2020/21 of $1,356.22 per parcel. Planned FY 2020/21 expenditures are expected to exceed revenues by approximately $50,000, which means maintenance and other expenses may need to be partially deferred. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) There are no park facilities located within the District. Both CSA M-30 and CSA R-7 contribute funding toward the maintenance of Hap Magee Ranch Park. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) CSA M-30 funds are administered by the Town of Danville, specifically the Parks and Leisure Services Commission, which oversees park maintenance and recreation programs in the Town. b) The Town’s Commission is comprised of seven members, one alternate and one junior member. All members of the Commission must be residents of the Town of Danville. Residents of the CSA may not sit on the Commission. In this way residents of the CSA are not represented as decisions about how to spend funding are made. The County has not received comments or complaints from CSA M-30 residents in the unincorporated County. c) The CSA, via County staff, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information. d) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. e) Because CSA M-30 is located within the boundaries of CSA R-7, residents of CSA M-30 are paying property taxes to CSA R-7 and an assessment to CSA M-30, yet there are no park facilities located within CSA M-30. Governance alternatives proposed in the past included the reduction of CSA R-7 to exclude the area of overlap with CSA M-30, or consolidation of the two CSAs. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 162 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) Funding provided through CSA M-30 has not been adversely affected by COVID-19. SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI 2) Adopt a zero SOI (to signal future dissolution or consolidation with another local agency) Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. CSA R-7 encompasses the bounds of CSA M-30. Residents of M-30 pay an assessment to the County, which is transferred to the Town for enhanced parks and recreation, law enforcement, street maintenance, landscaping, and street lighting. Residents of M-30 also pay property taxes to CSA R-7 for park and recreation services. As noted in the 2010 MSR report, a governance option is to remove the M-30 territory from CSA R-7 to eliminate duplication of services. Another option is to consolidate the two CSAs into a single CSA, and create a zone for the area formerly within CSA M-30 to maintain the financing mechanism for enhanced services by the Town of Danville per the agreement between the Town and the County. Given the duplication in service, it was recommended that the Commission adopt a zero SOI for CSA M-30. The Commission directed LAFCO staff to work with the County to combine R-7 and M-30 to address the service overlap and report back to the Commission within 12 months. However, each CSA was formed based on unique objectives, with CSA M-30 providing services beyond those provided by CSA R-7. At this time, the recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI, which will leave the funding mechanism in place. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. CSA M-30 provides financing for extended facilities and services in the unincorporated community of Alamo Springs through the Town of Danville. The District boundaries encompass residential uses. The CSA has no land use authority; however, City and County plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the availability of funding. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. There is a present and probable future need for ongoing park and recreation services within the boundaries of CSA M-30. Population within the District is expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 0.18%. No changes in public facilities or services funded by CSA M-30 will result from this SOI update.

County Service Areas Page 163 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The Town of Danville generally provides adequate park maintenance services within CSA M- 30. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that CSA M-30 funds. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) The CSA boundary is consistent with the Alamo Springs neighborhood area, which is located entirely in the unincorporated County but contiguous with the northwest boundary of the Town of Danville. CSA R-4 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA boundary includes the Town of Moraga (9.3 square miles) and the unincorporated area to the southeast of the Town (8.3 square miles). The residential population within the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 3.1%, or 558 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 18,474 people. This level of projected growth is not anticipated to materially impact service demand. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) The CSA provides financing for expanded operation and maintenance services of park and recreation facilities and recreation programming in the Town of Moraga – there are no park facilities within the unincorporated area of CSA boundary.

County Service Areas Page 164 b) There are currently seven parks in the Town of Moraga, totaling approximately 74 acres of passive and active parkland and representing 4.1 acres per 1,000 residents. In addition, Mulholland Preserve is a 250-acre open space area within the Town’s boundaries. Including Mullholland Preserve in the level of service calculation increases the level of service to 18.1 acres per 1,000 residents. With respect to the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of park facilities per 1,000, CSA R-4 appears to have sufficient capacity to serve the residents within its boundaries. With respect to the Town’s General Plan goal of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents, CSA R-4 appears to have insufficient capacity to serve the residents within its boundaries. c) The Town’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan was last updated in 2007. d) With funding provided, in part, through CSA R-4, the Town of Moraga provides recreation programming to CSA residents. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) The County’s budget indicates the District’s funding comes from property taxes and is not expected to generate any net costs to the District in FY 2020/21. b) The Town reports that the current level of financing for the park and recreation department is sufficient; however, financing maintenance of the large open space areas remains challenging. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The Town presently practices facility sharing and collaboration with the Moraga School District and EBRPD. The Town reported that it occasionally plans special events in conjunction with EBRPD. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) CSA R-4 funds are administered by the Town of Moraga, specifically the Parks and Recreation Department, which oversees park maintenance and recreation programs in the Town. b) The Parks and Recreation Commission is comprised of seven members, and all members of the Commission must be residents of the Town of Moraga. Residents of the unincorporated portion of the CSA may not sit on the Commission. In this way residents of the CSA are not represented as decisions about how to spend funding are made. c) The CSA, via County staff, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information. d) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 165 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) Property tax revenues provided to the Town through CSA R-4 have not been adversely affected by COVID-19. SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI 2) Adjust SOI to remove vacant unincorporated areas and expand to include entire Moraga bounds 3) Adjust SOI to exclude incorporated Town of Moraga 4) Adopt a zero SOI Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. CSA R-4 was formed prior to the incorporation of Moraga, which occurred in 1974. Pursuant to the CKH Act and CSA law (Government Code Section 25210 et seq.), whenever territory is incorporated into a new city or annexed to a city, it is typically detached from county service areas. As noted above, CSA R-4 contains most of the Town of Moraga and surrounding unincorporated areas, most of which are vacant lands. This raises questions regarding the need for, level of, and possible duplication of parks and recreation services provided through the CSA. In 2010, it was recommended that the Commission defer the SOI update for CSA R-4; and direct LAFCO staff to further discuss with the County and Town of Moraga governance and boundary options and report back to the Commission within 12 months. In 2013, LAFCO retained the existing SOI for CSA R-4. This action followed discussions with County and Town of Moraga staff. It was determined that the existing government structure is appropriate and enables the Town to continue to include this unincorporated area in its long- term planning for parks and recreation services. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. CSA R-4 provides financing for extended facilities and services in the Town of Moraga as well as unincorporated areas to the southeast of the Town. The District boundaries encompass residential uses, with limited commercial uses in the Town. The CSA has no land use authority; however, City and County plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the availability of funding. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. There is a present and probable future need for ongoing park and recreation services within the boundaries of CSA R-4. Population within the District is expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 0.15%. No changes in public facilities or services funded by CSA R-4 will result from this SOI update.

County Service Areas Page 166 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The Town of Moraga generally provides adequate park maintenance services within the portion of CSA R-4 that is coterminous with the Town. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that CSA R-4 funds. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) The CSA boundary includes the Town of Moraga as well as unincorporated areas to the southeast of the Town. CSA R-7 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA provides park and recreation facility operation and maintenance and recreation programming to the unincorporated community of Alamo. The residential population served by the District is relatively stable, with expected growth of approximately 3.4%, or 524 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 16,111 people. This level of projected growth is not anticipated to materially impact service demand. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within or contiguous to the District’s sphere of influence. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) There are currently six parks within the boundaries of CSA R-7, totaling 31 acres of passive and active parkland and representing 2.0 acres per 1,000 residents. With respect to the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of park facilities per 1,000 residents, CSA R-7 appears to have insufficient capacity to serve the residents within its boundaries. However, there are very significant community and regional parks within the vicinity of the CSA, including the Diablo Foothills Regional Park. b) Two of the CSA’s six parks are shared with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (Alamo Elementary School and Park and Rancho Romero School Sports Field and Park). Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 9. County Service Areas Page 167 c) All three of the parks that are owned and maintained by the County (e.g., Livorna Park, Hemme Station Park, and Andrew H. Young Park) are reported to be in “Very Good” condition. Hap Magee Ranch Park is jointly owned by the County and by the Town of Danville, and the Town provides the maintenance services. Hap Magee Ranch Park is reported to be in “Very Good” condition. d) Typically (pre-COVID), the CSA sponsors popular community events, such as “Movies under the Stars” and a summer concert series at Livorna Park. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) District funding for park maintenance comes primarily from property taxes and facility rentals. b) County staff reports that the current level of funding allows for adequate service provision, and the Alamo Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) confirms that the District has sufficient funding to maintain parks and facilities. c) The Alamo MAC reports that one of its most significant challenges is establishing and supporting a successful recreation program, due to insufficient registrations and an inability to guarantee participation. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The District shares facilities with the school district and shares maintenance costs at Hap Magee Ranch Park with the Town of Danville. No other opportunities for shared facilities were identified. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) Accountability to local voters is achieved through the CSA’s eight-member MAC. The advisory council acts as a sounding board for the community to voice local preferences to the County Board of Supervisors. b) The CSA, via County staff and the Alamo MAC, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information and reviewing drafts of the MSR/SOI Update. c) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. d) Because CSA M-30 is located within the boundaries of CSA R-7, residents of CSA M-30 are paying property taxes and/or assessments to two CSAs, yet there are no park facilities located within CSA M-30 or this area of overlap. Governance alternatives proposed in the past included the reduction of CSA R-7 to exclude the area of overlap with CSA M-30, or consolidation of two CSAs. The Alamo MAC is opposed to a governance option that would reduce the territory of CSA R-7 to exclude the area of overlap with CSA M-30. The prior MSR also proposed consolidation with the Green Valley Recreation and Park District; however, County Public Works is not in favor. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\191105 CC LAFCO Parks and Rec MSR-SOI Final 2021June14.docx Contra Costa LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Update June 2021 9. County Service Areas Page 168 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) COVID-19 is not significantly affecting the County’s ability to maintain the parks and facilities within the boundaries of the CSA, and the County’s parks are open as of the fall of 2020. Some features/amenities remain closed such as water fountains, bathrooms, and basketball courts. Recreation programming and community events were severely affected by COVID-19. SOI Options 1) Retain existing coterminous SOI 2) Reduce the SOI to exclude the CSA M-30 territory 3) Consolidate R-7 and M-30 4) Expand the SOI to include the Green Valley Recreation & Park District (GVRPD) to signal a future consolidation of these districts Current Recommendation Retain existing coterminous SOI. CSA R-7 encompasses the bounds of CSA M-30. Further discussion with the County is needed to address any potential service duplication and boundary issues. Previously the LAFCO Commission directed LAFCO staff to work with County and Town of Danville staff to combine R-7 and M-30 to address service overlap. However, each CSA was formed based on unique objectives, with CSA M-30 providing services beyond those provided by CSA R-7. The Alamo MAC is opposed to a governance option that would reduce the territory of CSA R-7 to exclude the area of overlap with CSA M-30. Consolidation of GVPRD and CSA R-7 could enhance the operation and maintenance of the Green Valley pool; however, in 2010, County Public Works was opposed to the option, noting that there are inadequate financial resources to cover costs for maintenance and capital improvements to the pool. Also, members of the Alamo community, the Alamo MAC and District III County Supervisor expressed opposition to such a consolidation. At this time, the recommendation is to retain the existing coterminous SOI, which will leave the funding mechanism in place. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries encompass primarily residential and commercial uses. The CSA has no land use authority; however, County plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the District’s ability to provide services. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. There is a present and probable future need for ongoing park and recreation services within the boundaries of the CSA.

County Service Areas Page 169 rate of approximately 0.17%. No changes in public facilities or services provided by CSA R-7 will result from this SOI update. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The County generally provides adequate park maintenance services within CSA R-7. There are 31 acres of parkland maintained within the District, which translates into 2.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 district residents, short of the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that CSA R-7 provides or is authorized to provide. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) CSA R-7 provides park maintenance services to the unincorporated community of Alamo. Other services are provided by the County. CSA R-9 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA boundary includes the unincorporated community of El Sobrante. The CSA is almost entirely within the City of Richmond’s SOI with the exception of a small portion in the north that lies within the City of Pinole’s SOI and the southwestern most island, which is in the City of San Pablo’s SOI. The residential population within the District is growing, with expected growth of approximately 11.5%, or 1,671 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 16,217 people. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence, but the disadvantaged community of San Pablo is partially contiguous to the boundary of CSA R-9. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 170 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) CSA R-9 is no longer maintaining the Children’s Reading Garden at the El Sobrante Library. Any maintenance that is occurring is provided by the library and volunteer community members. b) The County reports that relying on volunteer community members is not sustainable due to liability and accountability issues. c) The Reading Garden is just 0.1 acres and does not provide sufficient capacity to meet existing or future demand from residents in the CSA boundary. Additional park facilities are available to CSA residents outside of the CSA’s boundaries. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) The CSA does not have a secure source of revenue. Planned FY 2020/21 expenditures are expected to exceed revenues by approximately $34,000, which means maintenance and other expenses may need to be partially deferred. b) Two past attempts to pass an assessment measure failed (1985 and 1998). 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) If CSA R-9 had a sustainable, secure source of revenue, there would be an opportunity to share the Children’s Reading Garden. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) CSA R-9 does not have an established or secure source of revenue and, as such, is not able to address the needs of the El Sobrante community. b) The CSA, via County staff, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information. c) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) While COVID-19 is affecting the County’s ability to maintain the parks and facilities within some of the CSAs, the more pressing concern for CSA R-9 is the lack of an established or secure source of revenue. SOI Options 1) Retain the existing coterminous SOI Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 171 2) Adopt a zero SOI to signal future dissolution of the District Current Recommendation Adopt a zero SOI. CSA R-9 has no regular source of financing to maintain the Children’s Reading Garden at the County library in El Sobrante and depends on volunteers for periodic upkeep. The recommendation is to dissolve CSA R-9 and shift the park maintenance duties to the Landscape and Lighting District. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries encompass primarily residential and commercial uses. The CSA has no land use authority; however, County plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the District’s ability to provide services. No changes in present and planned land uses will result from this SOI update. 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area. There is a present and probable future need for ongoing park and recreation services within the boundaries of the CSA. Population within the District is expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 0.55%. The SOI Update will reflect that there is no funding source for CSA R-9 and shift the park maintenance duties to the Landscape and Lighting District. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. With no funding source, the County is not able to maintain the Children’s Reading Garden, the one park located within CSA R-9, and relies on volunteers. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. No disadvantaged communities were identified within the District’s sphere of influence, but the disadvantaged community of San Pablo is partially contiguous to the boundary of CSA R- 9. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5. Nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by existing districts. (For Special Districts only.) With no funding source, the County is not able to maintain the Children’s Reading Garden. The SOI Update recognizes there is no funding source for CSA R-9 and shifts the park maintenance duties to the Landscape and Lighting District. Other services are provided by the County.

County Service Areas Page 172 CSA R-10 MSR and SOI Determinations MSR Determinations 1. Growth and Population Projections a) The CSA boundary includes the unincorporated community of Rodeo. The residential population within the District is stable, with expected growth of approximately 2.8%, or 252 people, between 2020 and 2040, for a total population in 2040 of approximately 9,393 people. This level of projected growth is not anticipated to materially impact service demand. 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence a) The community of Rodeo is considered a disadvantaged community in that the median household income is less than 80% of the statewide median household income. b) The residents of the disadvantaged community within the boundaries of CSA R-10 have access to park and recreation facilities and services, although the District’s facilities are inadequate to serve all residents. Residents of the District also have access to other regional park and recreation resources. 3. Present and Planned Capacity of Public Facilities and Adequacy of Public Services, Including Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies a) At a net cost to the District each year, the CSA maintains the Lefty Gomez Recreation Building and adjacent ballfield complex. The facilities are considered by County staff to be in “Poor” condition and are in need of significant investment. b) Combined the facilities total 11 acres, resulting in a current level of service of 1.2 acres per 1,000 residents. This level of service is insufficient relative to the County’s goal of 4.0 acres per 1,000 residents. c) The ballfield serves the local baseball community. d) Significant infrastructure needs have been identified by the County, but there is no funding available. e) The community desires recreational programming, but revenue from rental facilities is insufficient to provide programming. f) The facility is not adequately sized to meet community needs. With capacity to hold just 60 people, the facility is too small for events such as weddings. 4. Financial Ability of Agencies to Provide Services a) The CSA relies on facility rentals to generate revenue and, otherwise, does not have a secure source of revenue. Recently, the lease to the County Office of Education (for the Golden Gate Academy) ended, resulting in the loss of $11,000 of revenue each year. Planned FY 2020/21 expenditures are expected to exceed revenues by approximately Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

County Service Areas Page 173 $41,000, which means maintenance and other expenses may need to be partially deferred. b) The Lefty Gomez Recreation Building and adjacent ballfield are owned by the John Swett Unified School District and leased to Contra Costa County. The lease expires in 2045. While the lease is not a significant cost, the maintenance of the facilities and field is a financial burden. c) County staff report that facility rental rates were reviewed and increased within the past year. d) The Rodeo Baseball Association provides some maintenance of the ball fields as part of its contract with the County; however, County staff report that the CSA may lose funding from the Rodeo Baseball Association. 5. Status of, and Opportunities for, Shared Facilities a) The Lefty Gomez Recreation Building and Ballfield Complex is owned by the John Swett Unified School District and the CSA provides funding for maintenance. The Rodeo Baseball Association provides some maintenance of the ball fields as part of its contract with the County. 6. Accountability for Community Service Needs, Including Governmental Structure and Operational Efficiencies a) CSA R-10 does not have an established or secure source of revenue and, as such, is not able to address the needs of the Rodeo community. b) Typically, accountability to local voters would be achieved through the CSA advisory committee; however, the R-10 advisory committee has effectively dissolved as each of the five seats is vacant. c) The CSA, via County staff, demonstrated accountability and transparency by responding to LAFCO requests for information. d) The County’s Special District budget provides transparent revenue and expenditure information. However, the Special District budget lacks information regarding the District’s purpose and services. 7. Any other matter related to efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy a) COVID-19 has affected the County’s ability to rent the Lefty Gomez Recreation Building, which is the CSA’s primary source of revenue. SOI Options 1) Adopt a zero SOI to signal future dissolution of the District 2) Retain the existing coterminous SOI Current Recommendation Adopt a zero SOI. The CSA’s only sources of revenue are from facility rentals and program fees, both of which have been severely challenged by COVID. While the lasting effects of COVID remain unknown, the current recommendation is to adopt a zero SOI to signal future dissolution of the District, in which case the County is the successor agency.

County Service Areas Page 174 maintenance of the outdoor/field areas could be provided by Landscape and Lighting District (LLD) Zone 38 without causing an undue burden. In the longer term, because the Lefty Gomez Community Center and the adjacent ballfields are located on a parcel owned by the John Swett Unified School District, the parcels may be returned to the School District. SOI Determinations 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands. The District boundaries encompass primarily residential and commercial uses. The CSA has no land use authority; however, County plans include land uses and population growth that may impact the service population within the District and, therefore, the District’s ability to provide services.

There is a present and probable future need for ongoing park and recreation services within the boundaries of the CSA. Population within the District is expected to increase at an annual rate of approximately 0.14%. No changes in public facilities or services provided by CSA R-10 will result from this SOI update. 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide. The County is not able to provide adequate park maintenance services within CSA R-10. There are 11 acres of parkland maintained within the District, which translates into 1.2 acres of parkland per 1,000 district residents, short of the County’s General Plan goal of 4.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The SOI update will not impact the present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that CSA R-10 provides or is authorized to provide. 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency. The community of Rodeo is considered a disadvantaged community in that the median household income is less than 80% of the statewide median household income. The residents of the disadvantaged community within the boundaries of CSA R-10 have access to park and recreation facilities and services, although the District’s facilities are inadequate to serve all residents. Residents of the District also have access to other regional park and recreation resources. The SOI update will not affect the existence of any social or economic communities of interest. 5.

APPENDIX F: LAFCO & MSR History APPENDIX F: LAFCO & MSR History LAFCO & MSR HISTORY LAFCO History After World War II, California experienced dramatic growth in population and economic development. With this boom came a demand for housing, jobs and public services. To accommodate this demand, many new local government agencies were formed, often with little forethought as to the ultimate governance structures in a given region, and existing agencies often competed for expansion areas. The lack of coordination and adequate planning led to a multitude of overlapping, inefficient jurisdictional and service boundaries, and the premature conversion of California’s agricultural and open-space lands. Recognizing this problem, in 1959, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Sr. appointed the Commission on Metropolitan Area Problems. The Commission's charge was to study and make recommendations on the “misuse of land resources” and the growing complexity of local governmental jurisdictions. The Commission's recommendations on local governmental reorganization were introduced in the Legislature in 1963, resulting in the creation of a Local Agency Formation Commission, or LAFCO. LAFCO is responsible for coordinating logical and timely changes in local governmental boundaries, including annexations and detachments of territory, incorporations of cities, formations of special districts, and consolidations, mergers and dissolutions of districts, as well as reviewing ways to reorganize, simplify, and streamline governmental structure. The Commission's efforts are focused on ensuring that services are provided efficiently and economically while agricultural and open-space lands are protected. To better inform itself and the community as it seeks to exercise its charge, LAFCO conducts service reviews to evaluate the provision of municipal services within the County. Municipal Service Review Origins The MSR requirement was enacted by the Legislature months after the release of two studies recommending that LAFCOs conduct reviews of local agencies. The “Little Hoover Commission” focused on the need for oversight and consolidation of special districts, whereas the “Commission on Local Governance for the 21st Century” focused on the need for regional planning to ensure adequate and efficient local governmental services as the California population continues to grow. Little Hoover Commission In May 2000, the Little Hoover Commission released a report entitled Special Districts: Relics of the Past or Resources for the Future? This report focused on governance and financial challenges among independent special districts, and the barriers to LAFCO’s pursuit of district consolidation Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

The report raised the concern that “the underlying patchwork of special district governments has become unnecessarily redundant, inefficient and unaccountable.”1 In particular, the report raised concern about a lack of visibility and accountability among some independent special districts. The report indicated that many special districts hold excessive reserve funds and some receive questionable property tax revenue. The report expressed concern about the lack of financial oversight of the districts. It asserted that financial reporting by special districts is inadequate, that districts are not required to submit financial information to local elected officials, and concluded that district financial information is “largely meaningless as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of services provided by districts, or to make comparisons with neighboring districts or services provided through a city or county.”2 The report questioned the accountability and relevance of certain special districts with uncontested elections and without adequate notice of public meetings. In addition to concerns about the accountability and visibility of special districts, the report raised concerns about special districts with outdated boundaries and outdated missions. The report questioned the public benefit provided by health care districts that have sold, leased or closed their hospitals, and asserted that LAFCOs consistently fail to examine whether they should be eliminated. The report pointed to service improvements and cost reductions associated with special district consolidations, and asserted that LAFCOs have generally failed to pursue special district reorganizations. The report called on the Legislature to increase the oversight of special districts by mandating that LAFCOs identify service duplications and study reorganization alternatives when service duplications are identified, when a district appears insolvent, when district reserves are excessive, when rate inequities surface, when a district’s mission changes, when a new city incorporates, and when service levels are unsatisfactory. To accomplish this, the report recommended that the State strengthen the independence and funding of LAFCOs, require districts to report to their respective LAFCO, and require LAFCOs to study service duplications. Commission on Local Governance for the 21st Century The Legislature formed the Commission on Local Governance for the 21st Century (21st Century Commission) in 1997 to review statutes on the policies, criteria, procedures and precedents for city, county and special district boundary changes. After conducting extensive research and holding 25 days of public hearings throughout the State at which it heard from over 160 organizations and individuals, the 21st Century Commission released its final report, Growth Within Bounds: Planning California Governance for the 21st Century, in January 2000.3 The report examines the way that government is organized and operates and establishes a vision of how the State will grow by “making better use of the often invisible LAFCOs in each county.” 1 Little Hoover Commission, 2000, p.12. 2 Little Hoover Commission, 2000, p.24. 3 The Commission on Local Governance for the 21st Century ceased to exist on July 1, 2000, pursuant to a statutory sunset provision.

The report warns that without a strategy, open spaces will be swallowed up, expensive freeway extensions will be needed, job centers will become farther removed from housing, and this will lead to longer commutes, increased pollution and more stressful lives. Growth Within Bounds acknowledges that local governments face unprecedented challenges in their ability to finance service delivery since voters cut property tax revenues in 1978 and the Legislature shifted property tax revenues from local government to schools in 1993. The report asserts that these financial strains have created governmental entrepreneurism in which agencies compete for sales tax revenue and market share. The 21st Century Commission recommended that effective, efficient and easily understandable government be encouraged. In accomplishing this, the 21st Century Commission recommended consolidation of small, inefficient or overlapping providers, transparency of municipal service delivery to the people, and accountability of municipal service providers. The sheer number of special districts, the report asserts, “has provoked controversy, including several legislative attempts to initiate district consolidations,”4 but cautions LAFCOs that decisions to consolidate districts should focus on the adequacy of services, not on the number of districts. Growth Within Bounds stated that LAFCOs cannot achieve their fundamental purposes without a comprehensive knowledge of the services available within its county, the current efficiency of providing service within various areas of the county, future needs for each service, and expansion capacity of each service provider. Comprehensive knowledge of water and sanitary providers, the report argued, would promote consolidations of water and sanitary districts, reduce water costs and promote a more comprehensive approach to the use of water resources. Further, the report asserted that many LAFCOs lack such knowledge and should be required to conduct such a review to ensure that municipal services are logically extended to meet California’s future growth and development. MSRs would require LAFCO to look broadly at all agencies within a geographic region that provide a particular municipal service and to examine consolidation or reorganization of service providers. The 21st Century Commission recommended that the review include water, wastewater, and other municipal services that LAFCO judges to be important to future growth. The Commission recommended that the service review be followed by consolidation studies and be performed in conjunction with updates of SOIs. The recommendation was that service reviews be designed to make nine determinations, each of which was incorporated verbatim in the subsequently adopted legislation. The legislature since consolidated the determinations into six required findings. Municipal Service Review Legislation The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 requires LAFCO review and update SOIs not less than every five years and to review municipal services before updating SOIs. The requirement for service reviews arises from the identified need for a more 4 Commission on Local Governance for the 21st Century, 2000, p. 70. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

The service review provides LAFCO with a tool to study existing and future public service conditions comprehensively and to evaluate organizational options for accommodating growth, preventing urban sprawl, and ensuring that critical services are provided efficiently. Effective January 1, 2008, Government Code §56430 requires LAFCO to conduct a review of municipal services provided in the county by region, sub-region or other designated geographic area, as appropriate, for the service or services to be reviewed, and prepare a written statement of determination with respect to each of the following topics: 1) Growth and population projections for the affected area; 2) Present and planned capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services, including infrastructure needs or deficiencies; 3) Financial ability of agencies to provide services; 4) Status of, and opportunities for shared facilities; 5) Accountability for community service needs, including governmental structure and operational efficiencies; and 6) Any other matter related to effective or efficient service delivery, as required by commission policy. Spheres of Influence An SOI is a LAFCO-approved plan that designates an agency’s probable future boundary and service area. Spheres are planning tools used to provide guidance for individual boundary change proposals and are intended to encourage efficient provision of organized community services, discourage urban sprawl and premature conversion of agricultural and open space lands, and prevent overlapping jurisdictions and duplication of services. Every determination made by a commission must be consistent with the SOIs of local agencies affected by that determination;5 for example, territory may not be annexed to a city or district unless it is within that agency's sphere. SOIs should discourage duplication of services by local governmental agencies, guide the Commission’s consideration of individual proposals for changes of organization, and identify the need for specific reorganization studies, and provide the basis for recommendations to particular agencies for government reorganizations. Contra Costa LAFCO policies are that LAFCO discourages inclusion of land in an agency’s SOI if a need for services provided by that agency within a 5-10 year period cannot be demonstrated. SOIs generally will not be amended concurrently with an action on the related change of organization or reorganization. A change of organization or reorganization will not be approved solely because an area falls within the SOI of any agency. In other words, the SOI essentially defines where and what types of government reorganizations (e.g., annexation, detachment, dissolution and consolidation) may be initiated. If and when a government reorganization is 5 Government Code §56375.5. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Such steps include more in-depth analysis, LAFCO consideration at a noticed public hearing, and processes by which affected agencies and/or residents may voice their approval or disapproval. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act requires LAFCO to develop and determine the SOI of each local governmental agency within the county and to review and update the SOI every five years, as necessary. LAFCOs are empowered to adopt, update and amend the SOI. They may do so with or without an application, and any interested person may submit an application proposing an SOI amendment. LAFCO may recommend government reorganizations of particular agencies in the county, using the SOIs as the basis for those recommendations. Based on review of the guidelines and practices of Contra Costa LAFCO as well as other LAFCOs in the State, various conceptual approaches have been identified from which to choose in designating an SOI: 1) Coterminous Sphere: The sphere for a city or special district that is the same as its existing boundary. 2) Annexable Sphere: A sphere larger than the agency’s boundary identifies areas the agency is expected to annex. The annexable area is outside its boundary and inside the sphere. 3) Detachable Sphere: A sphere that is smaller than the agency’s boundaries identifies areas the agency is expected to detach. The detachable area is the area within the agency bounds but not within its sphere. 4) Zero Sphere: A zero sphere indicates the affected agency’s public service functions should be reassigned to another agency and the agency should be dissolved or combined with one or more other agencies. 5) Consolidated Sphere: A consolidated sphere includes two or more local agencies and indicates the agencies should be consolidated into one agency. 6) Limited Service Sphere: A limited service sphere is the territory included within the SOI of a multi-service provider agency that is also within the boundary of a limited purpose district which provides the same service (e.g., fire protection), but not all needed services. 7) Sphere Planning Area: LAFCO may choose to designate a sphere planning area to signal that it anticipates expanding an agency’s SOI in the future to include territory not yet within its official SOI. 8) Provisional Sphere: LAFCO may designate a provisional sphere that automatically sunsets if certain conditions occur. LAFCO is required to establish SOIs for all local agencies and enact policies to promote the logical and orderly development of areas within the SOIs. Furthermore, LAFCO must update those SOIs every five years, as necessary. In updating the SOI, LAFCO is required to conduct a municipal service review (MSR) and adopt related determinations. In addition, in adopting or amending an SOI, LAFCO must make the following determinations: Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. Z:\Shared\Projects\Oakland\191000s\191105_ContraCostaLAFCO_Parks&RecMSR\Report\Appendices\AppF_LAFCO MSR History_2021.docx CC LAFCO Parks & Recreation MSR/SOI Updates June 2021 Appendix F: LAFCO & MSR History Page 6  Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands;  Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area;  Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public service that the agency provides or is authorized to provide; and  Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the Commission determines these are relevant to the agency. LAFCO law requires additional determinations be made when updating SOIs for special districts. MSR and SOI Update Process The MSR process does not require LAFCO to initiate changes of organization based on service review findings, only that LAFCO identify potential government structure options. However, LAFCO, other local agencies, and the public may subsequently use the determinations to analyze prospective changes of organization or reorganization or to establish or amend SOIs. LAFCO may act with respect to a recommended change of organization or reorganization on its own initiative, at the request of any agency, or in response to a petition. MSRs are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to §15262 (feasibility or planning studies) or §15306 (information collection) of the CEQA Guidelines. LAFCO’s actions to adopt MSR determinations are not considered “projects” subject to CEQA. This report identifies preliminary SOI policy alternatives and recommends SOI options for the three parks and recreation districts and the eight CSAs. Development of actual SOI updates will involve additional steps, including recommendations by LAFCO staff, opportunity for public input at a LAFCO public hearing, and consideration and changes made by Commissioners. A CEQA determination will then be made on a case-by-case basis once the proposed project characteristics are clearly identified. LAFCO must notify affected agencies 21 days before holding a public hearing to consider the SOI and may not update the SOI until after that hearing. The LAFCO Executive Officer must issue a report including recommendations on the SOI amendments and updates under consideration at least five days before the public hearing.

Assessment: This MSR/SOI Update uses the term “assessment” broadly, to encompass benefit assessments, special taxes, special assessments, and/or parcel taxes. In some cases, the formation documents are vague, referring to a “benefit assessment or service charge” while the annual property tax bills refer to “special taxes and assessments.” A Benefit Assessment requires a professional engineer’s report that describes the benefit, proposed costs, and presents a benefit formula that is used to determine each property’s share of the cost. A majority vote is required to approve a rate increase. A Special Tax, on the other hand, is imposed for a specific purpose and must be approved by a 2/3 majority of the qualified voters in the service area. A Special Tax is not necessarily limited to the relative benefit it provides to the property owners or taxpayers.

Direct Debt: The total amount of general obligation debt of a municipality or local government. Disadvantaged Community or Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community (DAC or DUC): A disadvantaged community includes Census Tracts, Block Groups, and Places where the median household income is less than 80% of the statewide median household income. According to U.S. Census data (American Community Survey, 2015-2019), the statewide median household income in 2019 was $75,235; 80% of that amount is $60,188. Expenditure: The use of fund resources. Fiscal Year: The 12-month period of time to which a budget applies, typically July 1st through June 30th. Fund: A group of related accounts used to manage resources assigned for specific activities or objectives. General Fund: The main operating fund of a jurisdiction, including cities, counties, and special districts. General Plan: A local government’s long-term blueprint for the community’s vision of future growth. Intergovernmental Tax Revenue: Transfers of funds from one level of government to another. This may be to fund general government operations or for specific purposes. Joint Powers Authority (JPA): A joint powers agency or joint powers authority is a new, separate government organization created by the member agencies, but is legally independent from them. A JPA is generally formed by any two or more governmental entities (federal, state, or local) to provide a common service. Many are financing tools that let government agencies pool their scarce resources. Some run programs jointly. Councils of government are JPAs. Municipal Service Review: A study and evaluation of municipal service(s) by specific area, subregion or region culminating in written determinations regarding nine specific evaluation categories. An MSR study is prepared before a LAFCO revises an SOI for cities and special districts. Net Position: The excess of all the City’s assets over all its liabilities, regardless of fund. Sphere of Influence: The SOI is a plan that designates an agency’s probable future boundary and service area. SOIs are intended to encourage efficient provision of organized community services and prevent duplication of service delivery. Annexation of a territory to a city or district cannot occur unless the territory is within that agency's SOI. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.
