Letter to ResidentsCity leaders are proud to present this year’s Annual Report to Concord residents

and business owners. The 2015-16 fiscal year was one of cautious celebration, as the economy continued to recover and the City was able to start repairing some of the infrastructure that had been neglected during the recession.

Concord also started to see the first results from a strong economic development program, championed by the City Council as a tool to boost the economy and get the City back on its feet after the recession. Riders on BART and subscribers to business publications saw a new advertising campaign inviting decisions makers to locate in Concord. Over a dozen stories ran in local and national publications talking about the benefits Concord offers, from less expensive rents and high quality of life to a well-educated workforce and a convenient location served by two BART stations.

Between the strengthening economy and the city’s marketing efforts, Concord has seen a sharp decrease in office vacancies, and an increase in sales and hotel occupancy tax. New projects are coming to town. For example, CenterCal Properties chose to build the first new shopping center in the I-80 corridor in over two decades in Concord. Called Veranda, the project will go up on the 30-acre site of the former Chevron campus on Diamond Boulevard with “chef-driven” restaurants, a Whole Foods 365, and other unique stores.

Concord continues to lead Concord Costa County in a number of areas including being first in total sales and sales tax collected, first in auto sales and first in the number of jobs available in the City. The well-respected Conde’ Nast Traveler magazine listed Concord as one of the ten best places in the world to retire, and called Concord “a big little city, home to excellent health care facilities, free community activities with a desirable proximity to San Francisco and a relatively low crime rate.”

As Concord continues to recover from the recession, we want to thank residents for their continued support of local businesses and City programs. We present this Annual Report to the residents and business owners of Concord as part of the City’s on-going commitment to transparency and accountability.

Respectfully,Mayor, City Council, City TreasurerCity Manager, City Attorney, City of Concord Employees

ANNUAL REPORT

2015–16 Project HighlightsConcord Naval Weapons Station Redevelopment

The Concord City Council, sitting as the Local Reuse Authority (LRA), selected Lennar as the Master Developer for Phase 1 of the redevelopment of the 5,028-acre site. The first phase is approximately 500 acres of the 2,248-acre Concord Reuse Plan project area. The East Bay Regional Parks District announced a planning effort for a world class regional park on 2,500 plus acres on the site, preserving it for open space, trails and limited activity areas.

Rental Housing WorkshopWith rents going up all over the Bay Area, the City

Council hosted a Rental Housing Workshop to hear different perspectives on the issue. Regional experts, a tenant organization and an association of apartment owners were brought together to educate the City Council and the public on this important topic.

Encouraging in-law unitsThe City launched a two-year pilot program to encourage

property owners to build small (640 sq. ft. or less), secondary living units, sometimes called in-law units, on their property to increase the amount of affordable housing available in the community.

Another successful year at the PavilionThe Concord Pavilion enjoyed another success season in

2015, and has hosted several sell-out shows in the 2016 season going on now. As part of the City’s contract with Live Nation to operate the facility, Concord residents have access to tickets to Pavilion shows before they go on sale to the general public. In addition, 2,000 complimentary tickets were distributed in the community.

Food trucks roll into downtownAfter a few weeks of testing, Off the Grid decided to bring its selection of food trucks to Todos Santos Plaza on Monday evenings from 5 to 9 p.m. This new downtown event is proving popular with those looking to sample fare from around the world from the rotating selection of food trucks.

Farm Bureau Road gets an updateSidewalks, curbs, gutters, ADA ramps, and a bicycle lane

were constructed on Farm Bureau Road between Willow Pass Road and Wren Avenue. The improvements are one of several Safe Routes to Schools projects that have been completed around town. The rest of Farm Bureau will receive a similar upgrade over the next several years.

ADA improvement projectForty-eight sidewalk curb access ramps were constructed on

locations on Concord Boulevard, Arnold Industrial Way, Mohr Lane at Del Rio Circle, Harrison Street at Broadway Avenue and Michigan Boulevard at Washington Boulevard. Each year, additional ramps are constructed as funding permits.

New Asphalt ZipperPublic Works acquired a new tool that boosts the department’s

capacity for repairing potholes. The Asphalt Zipper is a piece of portable equipment that grinds the existing asphalt and turns it into reusable material. This allows for compaction and restoration of the base, making repairs much more efficient.

Residential street improvementsPavement maintenance improvements were made to 78

residential streets. The project included slurry or cape seal overlay treatments and covered approximately 231,744 square yards of pavement.

ANNUAL REPORT

Economic Development SpotlightAs the county’s job center, Concord is home to one of every

eight jobs in Contra Costa County, and the City recently attracted several more significant companies that were looking to relocate.

Leading financial institution Wells Fargo Bank has signed a lease that will bring approximately 1,100 employees to the downtown when it occupies 285,000 square feet of office space at Swift Plaza in early- to mid-2017. Swift Plaza is the former Bank of America campus near the downtown BART station. In north Concord, home and business security company Bay Alarm will establish its new headquarters in the former Heald Business College campus on Commercial Circle.

Some of Concord’s competitive advantages that helped to attract these types of companies include mass transit accessibility with two BART stations, an educated workforce, a pro-business environment and lower lease rates compared to other Bay Area cities. In fact, Concord’s Class A office rates range from $2.25 to $3.00 per square foot per month compared to San Francisco’s Class A office rates, which run up to $6.50 per square foot per month.

The City’s unemployment rate has been steadily decreasing over the past year. Concord registered a 4.3 percent unemployment rate for May 2016 compared to 5.0 percent only six months prior. At just 4.3 percent, Concord is outperforming the state and the nation, which during the same period registered unemployment rates of 4.7 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively.

Downtown ConcordDowntown Concord attracted more visitors than last

year thanks to the popularity of its trendy micro-breweries, the family-friendly Music & Market series and an eclectic global dining scene that is still growing as five more dining options are in the process of locating in the downtown. Four of the five new establishments will be occupying space in Salvio Pacheco Square, including an Asian fusion restaurant, a Peruvian restaurant, a Poke restaurant and an Asian tea house. The fifth newcomer is craft brewery Hop Heavy Brewing Co., which is currently under construction just a block away on Pacheco St.

Destination for retail and diningConcord added to its reputation as a regional destination for

retail and dining, generating more retail sales than any other city in Contra Costa County. In 2015, Concord generated nearly $3.27 billion in taxable sales, an increase of about 8.6 percent over 2014.

One of the most exciting announcements in the past year concerns the redevelopment of the former 30-acre Chevron campus on Diamond Boulevard. Look for construction starting soon on Veranda, a proposed 375,000-square foot lifestyle center that has already signed a lease with Whole Foods 365. Veranda is the first new shopping center to open on the I-80 corridor in over two decades and reinforces Concord’s reputation as a regional shopping destination.

The close of 2015 and beginning of 2016 was been a busy time for restaurant openings in Concord. At The Willows Shopping Center on Diamond Boulevard, Eureka! Restaurant, Ike’s Place and Rick’s Rather Rich Ice Cream opened near the end of 2015; the first-ever Bay Area location of Dos Coyotes Border Café will open later this year.

A new Buffalo Wild Wings opened on the former Marie Callender’s site on Diamond Boulevard, and just down the road at the former Peppermill site – now known as Meridian Square – four more restaurants recently opened: Noodles & Company, Blaze Pizza, Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches and The Habit Burger Grill.

In addition, Sunvalley Shopping Center completed its 23,000-square foot food court with seating for 525 people and will soon be home to Round 1 offering bowling, karaoke, arcade games, billiards, darts, ping pong and food.

In other restaurant news, the former Coco’s Bakery Restaurant on Treat Boulevard is being converted to an Original Mel’s Diner.

Several new restaurants have opened at the Willows Shopping Center


ANNUAL REPORT

Budget OverviewShift to two-year budgeting

The City Council passed a balanced budget in June, in time for the start of the City’s fiscal year on July 1. Last year, the City Council approved a plan to transition from one-year Operating and Capital budgets to two-year budgets. Biennial budgeting allows the City Council and residents to better understand the City’s budgeting process by concentrating on either the Operating Budget or the Capital Budget each year. The new process also makes more efficient use of staff time. In June 2015, the Council adopted the 2015-2017 Operating budget and a one-year Capital budget. This year, the Council adopted a two-year Capital budget and updated the 2015-17 Operating budget.

Measure Q fundingDuring the recession, Concord voters approved Measure

Q, a half-cent use and transaction tax that provides revenue to the City to protect and maintain Concord’s city services, including 911 emergency response times, police officers, gang

prevention, crime investigation, neighborhood police patrols, city streets and pothole repair, senior services and nutrition programs, youth and teen programs, and other general city services. Measure Q was originally passed by the voters in 2010 with an extension of the measure in 2014, which passed overwhelmingly with 76 percent of the vote. Measure Q brings in approximately $12 to $13 million each year and is appropriated to both the Operating and Capital budgets.

The Operating budget, or the part of the budget that pays for day-to-day operations, includes the General Fund. The FY 2015-16 General Fund budget of $94 million included $7.8 million in Measure Q dollars. The FY 2016-17 General Fund budget of $89.4 million includes $7.5 million in Measure Q dollars and reduces the general fund’s reliance on Measure Q by $300,000. These additional funds have made it possible for the City to avoid reductions in essential services and to replenish its reserve, which has now returned to 30 percent. However, the City Council realizes that the measure sunsets in 2025 and has directed staff to reduce reliance on Measure Q funds over the next nine years.

The two-year Capital budget for 2016-2018 allocated $32.4 million in funding for projects that maintain or improve the City’s infrastructure (roads, parks, sewer, facilities, etc.). Measure Q funds make up 16 percent of that budget, or $5 million. In addition, the City Council approved a Lease Revenue Financing Agreement (LRFA) in 2015 to provide an immediate $22.4 million surge of funding over five years for badly needed road repair projects. Payments on this loan are made from Measure Q revenue. The Capital budget also includes $6.7 million of these dollars or 21 percent of the two year budget. In total, Measure Q will provide approximately 36 percent of funds for capital projects.

Other types of Capital funding sourcesThe City’s Capital budget relies on a wide array of sources

to support the nearly 100 on-going and new Capital projects that have been approved to go forward over the next two years. In addition to the Measure Q funds discussed in the preceding section, Capital projects can be funded by the General Fund, Enterprise Funds (such as sewer and stormwater), grant funds, and internal service funds (monies set aside over time for replacement of City equipment). Many funds are dedicated to one type of project and may not be spent in other areas.

ANNUAL REPORT

The City Council relies on a detailed evaluation criteria to decide which projects should be approved including health and safety needs, regulatory compliance, cost reduction, improved efficiency, promotion of economic development, implementation of the City’s Complete Streets Plan, Climate Action Plan or General Plan, and projects that support one or more of the City Council’s own initiatives (Public Safety, Infrastructure Maintenance, Long Term Financial Stability, Customer Service, Quality of Life, Economic Development, Organizational Strength and Employee Success).

ANNUAL REPORT

2015–16 Project Highlights (continued)

Bike and pedestrian plan moves forwardResidents participated in several community workshops to

create the City’s Bicycle, Pedestrian and Safe Routes to Transit Plan. Bicycle and pedestrian planning experts and City staff heard from residents and incorporated their comments into the plan.

Tennis courts return with a twist Several tennis courts that have been out of commission

for years due to the recession are now back in service. Three tennis courts at Concord Community Park and eight courts at Willow Pass Park were resurfaced. As part of this project, four tennis courts at Willow Pass Park were converted to 14 pickle ball courts, reflecting the popularity of this new sport.

Community center celebrates re-openingCentre Concord, the City’s popular community center at

5298 Clayton Rd., received a much-needed renovation. The ballroom was refurbished with new moveable walls and covering, and extensive upgrades were made to the restrooms, lobby and parking lot to improve ADA accessibility.

New arches and lights for Todos Santos PlazaTodos Santos Plaza, Concord’s favorite family-friendly

meeting place, received an upgrade with the installation of two new entry arches and the replacement of the lights in the trees that encircle the plaza. The arches welcome visitors on the Willow Pass Road side of the plaza and the new twinkle lights announce the plaza as a lively and inviting place to enjoy the numerous events that take place there. New lights were also installed in trees between Mt. Diablo Street and Galindo Street, leading the way to the plaza.

Concord Connect cell phone app launchedThe City launched a new cell phone app called Concord

Connect that makes it easy to submit non-emergency requests for service. The new app replaced the old Civic Hero app. Residents can report issues such as graffiti, potholes, street-light outages and much more. The app sends the service request directly to the appropriate City department and tracks the status.

New ways to connect with Concord Police The Concord Police Department launched Facebook

(ConcordPolice) and Twitter (@concordpd) accounts to share news and information with the public. The social media sites provide safety tips and announcements well as new Street Smart videos, an updated version of the former cable TV program by the same name.

Detroit Avenue pedestrian and bicycle projectImprovements on Detroit Avenue between Monument

Boulevard and Clayton Road included sidewalk and accessibility improvements, buffered bike lanes, installation of street lighting and pavement replacement, including green asphalt for the bike lanes.

Earth Day celebrationThe City sponsored its first Earth Day celebration on

Saturday, April 23 at Newhall Community Park. The event included tree plantings, path restoration, creek clean-up, trash pick-up and the planting of a butterfly garden.

Corridors plan connects BART and downtown Residents and staff worked to create a Corridors Streetscape

Plan for three downtown street corridors: Oak Street, Grant Street (from Oak Street to Salvio Street) and Salvio Street (from Grant Street to Broadway). The project will improve connections for pedestrians and bicyclists between the Concord BART station and the downtown area around Todos Santos Plaza.

Concord library gets bike lockerA new bike locker was installed at the Concord Library,

2900 Salvio St. The locker holds four bikes at a time, and makes it convenient for residents to take a bike ride to the library instead of driving the car.
