Unapproved Meeting Minutes PARK ADVISORY COMMITTEE May 24, 2021

MEMBERS Arce, Best, Burke, Cary, Chang, Claxton, Corkin, Deschambault, Dieter, Ho, Lacy, REMOTE: Mahadevan, Nason, Obringer, Rickard, Robinson, Sanwong, Skaredoff, Tsutsui, Williams. ABSENT: Gregory. STAFF: Pfuehler, Clay, Ciaburro, O’Connor, Johnson, Kelchner, Holt, Reiff, Goorjian, Brede, Love, Barial-Knight, James, Erickson (PrimeGov). BOARD: Beverly Lane PUBLIC: Fatima Call, Lewis Thrower, Willie Mims, Victoria Adams, Yulie Padmore, Sabrina Pinell, Bruce ‘Ole’ Ohlson, William Yragui.

1. Roll call: The recording secretary took roll call. PAC chair Rickard opened the meeting. He stated consistent with Governor Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order N-25-20 issued on March 12, 2020 in response to the threat of Covid-19 and the Alameda County Health Department’s Order dated March 16, 2020, the Park Advisory Committee may utilize teleconferencing to remotely participate in meetings.

2. Approval of Minutes – April 2021 Minutes: The April 26, 2021 minutes were approved at the May 24, 2021 meeting. The motion to approve the minutes was made by PAC member Williams and seconded by PAC member Deschambault with an amendment to the minutes made by PAC member Nason. The motion passed unanimously.

3. Board Member Comments: Board Member Lane discussed the reopening of the Park District visitor centers. She stated they are open with limited capacity. Volunteers, such as the Volunteer Safety Patrol, are beginning to work again. Lane commented she attended a dedication at Black Diamond Mines. She explained the idea for having a coal mine exhibit placed underground has been around for decades. It is exciting to see it become a reality. There will be a dedication of the visitor center at Del Valle on May 26 at 11:00 am. This center will showcase interpretation of natural and cultural resources. It includes much information about the watershed around Del Valle.

Lane mentioned the name Concord Hills Regional Park has been a placeholder for many years. The District has received overwhelming advocacy for the name Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50. There will be a presentation tonight regarding the naming. Lane pointed out there is much history and many narratives about this land beginning with the Chupcan Indians whose homeland it is. There is history with the Spanish where Anza came through nearly 250 years ago. Rancho and agriculture are part of the land’s history. The Naval history which includes descendants of former residents of Port Chicago that lost their homes and ranches through eminent domain, as well as the military story and the Port Chicago tragedy. Lane expressed her hope everyone will come to appreciate the many different stories reflected in this new park.

PAC member Sanwong commented she looks forward to the ribbon cutting at Del Valle. It will be a nice visitor center. She expressed her appreciation for the information included about the watershed.

1 PAC member Obringer stated on the agenda for the May 25 Concord City Council meeting there is a resolution to approve support for the name Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50.

4. Foundation Update: Carol Johnson, Executive Director of the Regional Parks Foundation and AGM of Public Affairs reported there have been weekly increases in membership, 30% of which are new members.

The Foundation is funding a study through UC Berkeley on Acacia trees which are dying off. There are over 1,000 acres of trees which are dead or dying. This is cause for fire concern.

The Foundation just finished its annual audit. There was a 34% increase in income and revenue over 2019 with a total of $13 million in assets.

PAC member Skaredoff asked if there will be efforts by the Park District to save the acacias. Kristina Kelchner, AGM of Acquisition, Stewardship and Development responded she has been working with the Stewardship team on this issue. There is no plan to save the acacia trees. It is more a focus about how to deal with the dead fuel and the danger it poses. There are many different pathogens causing these die-offs, but the root cause is drought stress. It is hitting acacia and eucalyptus because they are not native trees. They were planted in a plantation format which is not a natural healthy ecosystem and makes them more stressed to begin with. Chief of Government Relations and Legislative Affairs Erich Pfuehler stated the Park District is pushing hard for funding at the state level.

5. Public Comments: William Yragui, Mission Peak Conservancy urged the Park Advisory Committee to participate in the discussion regarding redistricting Ward boundaries to create maximize representation.

6. Presentations: (R) a. Concord Hills Regional Park Naming Recognition – Brian Holt, Chief of Planning, Trails and GIS Kristina Kelchner, AGM of ASD began by thanking Board Member Lane for her tremendous support of this park for decades. Kelchner stated Board Member Lane is a huge part of the reason the Park District was able to take possession of the property last year, complete the planning process and why it will be a park.

Kelchner introduced Brian Holt, Chief of Planning, Trails and GIS who provided the presentation. Holt oriented the committee to the location of the property. He gave an overview about the history of the 2,540 acres of land. Park features include expansive views of Mt. Diablo, the Diablo Valley, San Francisco and the San Joaquin Delta. There is a vast network of abandoned rail lines and roadways which will serve as the base network for 22+ miles of new trails. Also planned are group camping facilities, picnicking, outdoor classrooms, a jointly operated visitor center between the National Park Service and Park District. There are also natural and cultural resource protection zones. There are approximately 70 munition magazines spread throughout the property. These will provide opportunities for creative reuse and interpretation of the property’s history. The former maintenance building in the center of the property is planned to house the future visitor center. The visitor center will focus on the history of Port Chicago, its aftermath and the role it played in the nation’s ongoing struggle for civil rights. Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50 has emerged as an important name to honor the advocacy of the former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. It also honors the

2 history of the explosion at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine. It specifically honors the history of the 50 young men who in the wake of the explosion stood up to the U.S. government to challenge unjust and unsafe working conditions. They paid the cost by being unfairly charged with mutiny. The name has support from the black community to establish a public space where African American history is told, where Black American heroes are celebrated and where the back community is truly welcomed. Holt stated the Park District will also honor indigenous history. The Park District will work with Native Peoples on a formal land acknowledgement process to ensure accuracy on park maps, signage and interpretive materials. The Park District will also work with Native Peoples on a cultural resource management plan for the East Contra Cost County Habitat Conservation Plan area and explore future naming opportunities at currently unnamed parklands.

PAC member Dieter asked if the Park District has a naming policy. Does the proposed name meet the qualifications within the Park District’s policy? Holt replied the naming policy provides broad latitude aimed at allowing parks to be named after significant geographic, natural, historic features and stories of the property.

PAC member Tsutsui expressed his full support for the name. Tsutsui commented it is a continued injustice that this story is so unknown. The Park District can elevate this story by naming the park Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50. It’s a testimony to the power of this story and this place that the community has come together in such a strong way to support this name.

PAC member Robinson asked if there were options which recognized the civil rights and African American history of this site during the initial naming exercise. Holt replied there was not a specific Port Chicago focus in the beginning because of the National Park Memorial. The District didn’t want its property to take away from the memorial, but with a joint visitor center there is a great opportunity to share the history. Robinson commented she grew up in Pittsburg. For a very long time she had no idea about the Port Chicago 50 or what happened there. It’s not really forgotten, it’s hidden. Like a lot of the history of marginalized people in the United States, it just isn't told. The naming of the park is significant in acknowledging the history here among us.

PAC member Skaredoff stated this is a piece of land that is dripping with history. He has confidence the best faith effort will be made to capture all of it.

PAC member Lacy stated she is in full support of the naming. Lacy thanked Holt for his presentation. She appreciated inclusion of the entire history of the property and that amplifying the Black community will not exclude the other history.

PAC member Cary commented he grew up in the Bay Area and knew about the explosion at Port Chicago, but did not know about the civil rights ramifications. As a result of this presentation, he is in full support of the naming.

Public Comments: William Mims, Member of the East County NAACP; Fatima Call, Citizens for Historical Equity Board Member; Lewis Thrower, Citizens for Historical Equity Board Member; Victoria Adams, East County NAACP President; Yulie Padmore, EBRPD, BEC Collective and Yolande Barial Knight, EBRPD, BEC Collective spoke in support of naming the park Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50. They thanked staff for their work to bring the naming

3 forward. They expressed their understanding about the citizens whose lives were impacted by the explosion. A yes vote will let citizens know the Park District is willing to act in good faith, embrace diverse representation and accurately share the Black community’s history.

Recommendation: The PAC approved a motion to recommend the Board of Directors approve the naming of Concord Hills Regional Park to Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50. The motion was made by Robinson and seconded by Cary. The motion passed unanimously.

(I) b. 2021 Public Affairs Plan Strategic Work Plan 2021 – Carol Johnson, AGM Public Affairs Due to time constraints, this item will be presented at a future date.

(I) c. Update on 2021 Capital Projects Managed by Design and Construction – Lisa Goorjian, Chief of Design and Construction Lisa Goorjian, Chief of Design and Construction provided an update about 2021 Capital projects. She stated there are currently 66 active projects. About half are major repair and maintenance projects which include Contra Loma Improvements, Hayward Shoreline Cogswell Bridge, and Roberts Pool and Facility Renovation. Seven projects are restoration and stewardship focused. These projects include Coyote Hills Improve Access and Habitat, Sibley Volcanic McCosker Creek Restoration and Temescal Expansion of Sedimentation Basins. These projects can be long in duration, take more staff time and are complex in terms of regulatory permits. They are often very attractive projects to leverage external funding. 27 projects expanded District access by providing new opportunities for the public to connect to the lands of the East Bay Regional Park District. These projects included Coyote Hills Dumbarton Quarry Campground and Service Yard, Martin Luther King, Jr. Shoreline Bay Trail – Doolittle Drive segment and Pleasanton Ridge Tyler Ranch Staging Area.

Goorjian reported two projects were completed in 2020 for a total cost of $16.2 million and 17 projects have been completed this year at a total cost of $56 million. While some projects were delayed, many took a quick pause and then started again. Encinal Beach Restoration in Alameda was one. This project involved dune and shoreline restoration, as well as providing better public access to the beach. The Del Valle Water System Renovation and Visitor Center both received significant funding from the state as a budget ask by former Assembly Member Catharine Baker and Senator Steve Glazer. The Garin Dry Creek Bridge Project replaced four bridges including one by a fjord crossing with boulders.

PAC member Dieter asked if the segment of San Francisco Bay Trail from Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline to the Alameda Harbor Bay bridge is part of the current project. The Doolittle Drive project brings the trail from Swan Way to the Shoreline Center. Goorjian replied the connection to Alameda is not part of this phase, but will be done in another phase at a future date.

PAC member Williams inquired about ADA accessibility on the bridges being replaced because they have stairs. Goorjian replied the bridges being replaced are not in ADA accessible parts of the park.

Recommendation: This was an informational item.

Public Comment:

4 Recording Secretary Clay read an e-mail into the record from Bruce Ohlson regarding the widening of Marsh Drive bridge over the Walnut Creek flood channel. As part of the project, the Iron Horse Trail is receiving a protected crossing of the flood channel. Both the bridge and street are quite narrow. The developer will widen Marsh Drive in front of their project sufficiently to include a bicycle lane between Solano Way and the bridge. This will make it easier and safer to access a very important East Bay Regional Park District Regional Trail.

7. PAC Member Comments – None.

8. Report from Chair – Chair Rickard, PAC members Arce and Robinson attended the Black Diamond Mines Ribbon Cutting. Rickard encouraged PAC members to attend Board Committee meetings. Rickard indicated the meeting recordings were also available on the District’s website.

9. Board Committee Reports – None.

10. Old Business – None.

11. New Business – None.

12. Adjournment – The meeting was adjourned at 6:42 p.m.

Summary of Actions: 1. The PAC approved the April 26, 2021 Park Advisory Committee minutes. 2. The PAC approved a motion to recommend the Board of Directors approve the naming of Concord Hills Regional Park to Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50.

PARK ADVISORY COMMITTEE Meeting of June 28, 2021

TO: Parks Advisory Committee STAFF REPORT Debra Auker, Assistant General Manager/CFO, Finance & Management PREPARED BY: Services Michelle Strawson O’Hara, Assistant Finance Officer

SUBJECT: Presentation of the 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ATTACHMENTS: 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is located at https://www.ebparks.org/about/budget/default.htm#FinancialReport (A bound copy has been provided to the members of the PAC Finance Committee)

RECOMMENDATION

Debra Auker, Assistant General Manager/Chief Financial Officer and Michelle Strawson O’Hara, Assistant Finance Officer from the Finance & Management Services Division will present the 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (Report) for the East Bay Regional Park District (Park District) and requests that the Park Advisory Committee recommend acceptance to the Board of Directors.

DESCRIPTION

State law and Board policy calls for the Park District to undergo an independent audit of its financial statements on an annual basis. The Park District contracts with the Certified Public Accounting firm of Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation (Brown Armstrong) as the Park District’s independent auditor. They have completed their audit for the period ended December 31, 2020. Based on their review, Brown Armstrong’s Independent Auditor’s Report confirms that the Park District’s financial statements, in all material respects, fairly present the financial position of the Park District and are in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. Furthermore, during fieldwork, Brown Armstrong found no material weaknesses in the Park District’s internal control structure. In other words, the Park District has received a “clean” audit opinion with no exceptions or qualifications expressed.

These financial reports are posted on the Park District website. A similar review of the financial reports was presented at the Board Finance Committee meeting on Friday, June 25, 2021. The final financial reports will be presented to the entire Board of Directors at the July 6, 2021 Board meeting.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

SUMMARY

The complete reconciliation of the 2020 fiscal year, as recorded in detail in this draft report, demonstrates the continuing effectiveness of the Park District’s sustainable financial approach and the strong support of the Board of Directors toward financial transparency and long-term planning. The Report records the continuing commitment of public funds to providing services through expenditures on land acquisition, development projects, employee wages and benefits, debt service on bonds, and all required and recommended governmental activities necessary to operate the Park District. These year-end financial results will be used as the basis for making recommendations to the Board of Directors for future budgets.

The Government-wide Statement of Net Position (page 31) displays the Park District’s total net position as of December 31, 2020. Net position totaled $885.6 million, which increased by $38.2 million in 2020 primarily due to an increase in capital assets, property tax revenue being greater than budgeted, and salaries and benefits savings due to staff vacancies.

For 2020, governmental funds had an overall decrease in fund balance while the net position of the proprietary fund increased. • General Fund ending fund balance increased $9.5 million (page 38). This is attributed to increased property tax revenue and interest income, as well as personnel and operating expenditures below budget. • Debt Service Fund ending fund balance decreased $7.4 million (page 38), due to lower debt service payments and related property tax levies. • Project Fund ending fund balance decreased $22.0 million (page 38), due to the use of bond proceeds during the year for acquisition and development project costs. • Non-major governmental funds decreased $0.9 million (page 39) and include special revenue funds and permanent funds established for legal endowments. • Proprietary (Internal Service) Fund net position increased $5.0 million (page 45) primarily due to an increase in funding for the Major Infrastructure Renovation and Replacement reserves.

DETAIL

The Financial Section of the Park District’s 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (Report) begins with the Independent Auditors’ Report (page 13), which expresses their opinion that: “the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the District as of December 31, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.”

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) follows and includes financial highlights for the year (page 17), an overview of the financial statements (pages 18-19), and an analysis of the government-wide (pages 20-22) and the fund financial statements, as noted below (pages 22-24).

The Government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities follow the MD&A. These government-wide statements are reported on the full accrual basis, unlike the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances, which are presented on the modified accrual basis. The major differences between full accrual and modified accrual are that full accrual recognizes revenues earned but unavailable, includes depreciation expense, and does not include capital asset and debt service principal costs as expenses. A detailed reconciliation between government-wide and governmental statements are included on pages 37 and 40-41 of the Report.

The Statement of Net Position (page 31) includes assets and liabilities not included on the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet, including:

• Capital assets (non-depreciable and depreciable net of depreciation) ($747.7 million) • Deferred outflows on advance refunding of Measure WW bonds ($2.3 million) • Deferred outflows related to Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) ($4.4 million) • Deferred outflows related to pension liabilities ($34.5 million) • Interest payable on general obligation bonds ($1.8 million) • Compensated absences for governmental funds ($8.3 million) • Long-term debt outstanding ($153.4 million) • Pollution remediation obligation ($6.1 million) • Net OPEB liability ($9.6 million) • Net pension liability (net of pension asset) for the EBRPD and CalPERS pension plans ($128.2 million) • Deferred inflows related to OPEB & pension liabilities ($16.1 million)

The Statement of Activities (page 32) provides revenue and expense information by function, demonstrating the subsidy each function received from general revenues (property tax and unrestricted interest income).

The governmental fund statements, which follow the government-wide statements, include General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Project Fund and Non-Major Funds (detailed information is presented in the Supplementary Information section of the Report).

General Fund ending fund balance, included in the governmental fund financial statements (page 38) increased $9.5 million. Comparison of significant items between 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

• General Fund revenues increased $2.4 million for a total of $170.9 million, compared to $168.5 million in 2019, with the largest increase attributed to property tax revenue ($10.3 million) net of decreases in charges for services ($7.0) and interest ($1.5). • General Fund expenditures totaled $139.1 million compared to $131.5 million in 2019, with the increase ($7.6 million) primarily due to negotiated wage increases, additional pension contributions and investments in major infrastructure renovation and replacement. • 2020 General Fund transfers out totaled $24.3 million and funded the following:

Projects $ 17.8 million Major Infrastructure Renovation and Replacement Fund $ 5.0 million Debt Service $ 1.5 million

Debt service fund balance, included in the governmental fund financial statements, (page 38) decreased $7.4 million in 2020, attributable to lower debt service payments and related property tax levies for Measure WW bond payments.

Project fund balance, included in the governmental fund financial statements (page 38) decreased $22.0 million to an ending fund balance of $93.5 million primarily due to several projects completed in 2020 including construction for San Francisco Bay Trail segments, the new Judge John Sutter Regional Shoreline park, a new underground coal mine exhibit at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve and a facility upgrade at Camp Arroyo.

Proprietary fund statements (pages 44-46) include internal service funds which are used to account for goods and services provided by the internal service departments to other Park District departments. Funds accounted for in this category include workers’ compensation, major infrastructure renovation and replacement, major equipment replacement, general liability, and employee benefits.

Fiduciary fund statements (pages 48-49) include information about the EBRPD Retirement Plans, in which the Park District has a fiduciary responsibility over these closed plans.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements follow (pages 52-98), providing information about significant accounting policies, and details about cash and investments, capital assets, long term liabilities, fund equity, OPEB, and retirement plans and contribution status, as well as other items required to be disclosed.

Required Supplementary Information (RSI) is the next section of the Report, and includes the mandated General Fund budget to actual comparison (page 101), information related to the funding status of the Park District’s retirement plans (pages 102-108), and information related to the Park District’s OPEB liability and contributions (pages 109-110). As noted on the General Fund budget to actual comparison:

• General Fund revenue exceeded budget by $7.1 million. Of that amount, $4.6 million was the result of increased property tax revenue and $2.4 million the result of higher than anticipated interest earnings. • General Fund expenditures were less than final appropriations by $18.7 million, the majority of which was related to unexpended supplies ($2.8 million) due to reduction in programming and other supply purchases, unexpended services ($5.5 million) due to reduction in repair and maintenance work, bus transportation, and other delayed services resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and salary and benefits savings due to position vacancies ($9.9 million).

Conclusion and Acknowledgements

The General Manager and Deputy General Manager have been of great assistance and have reviewed the year-end results with the auditors. The preparation and timely completion of the annual financial reports is a significant endeavor for the Finance Department staff members, especially Kimberly Balingit (Accounting Manager), Michelle Strawson O’Hara (Assistant Finance Officer), David Sumner (Audit Manager) and Connie Swisher (Confidential Secretary) who have contributed their time and attention to produce the Report. Other Park District staff have also responded cooperatively to the many questions and requests for detailed information that accompanies each audit.

This Report will be submitted for the Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and staff expects to receive acknowledgment similar to the awards received by the Park District for the past 20 consecutive years.

RECOMMENDATION

It is requested that the Park Advisory Committee upon completion of the staff presentation, recommend acceptance of the 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to the Board of Directors.

PARK ADVISORY COMMITTEE Meeting of June 28, 2021

TO: Parks Advisory Committee STAFF REPORT Jeff Rasmussen, Assistant Finance Officer, Debra Auker, CFO/AGM and PREPARED BY: Matthew James, Administrative Analyst II of Finance and Management Services

SUBJECT: 2021 Measure CC, FF and WW Update ATTACHMENTS: • Exhibits #4, Measure CC • Exhibit #5a, Measure FF Commitment List • Exhibit #7a, Measure WW Appropriation • Exhibit #7c, Measure WW Status Report • Exhibit #7e, Measure WW Green Bonds

BACKGROUND

Staff will provide an informational update on the Measure CC, Measure FF and Measure WW funding programs. DESCRIPTION

The Park District’s capital finance system is complex. This presentation provides updates on several interrelated capital and operating funding programs, organized by funding source, to enable the review of public commitments, the progress towards delivery to date, and strategies for the coming years. The information, taken as a whole, provides the context for PAC discussion and staff compilation of the annual budget priorities for next fiscal year and beyond.

INFORMATIONAL

This is an informational item. Staff welcomes the Park Advisor Committee’s questions or comments.

I. MEASURE CC The Measure CC parcel tax sunset in 2020 after fifteen years. No additional revenue will be received. Measure CC tax receipts provided a minimum of $3.1 million per year in ongoing funding to support priority projects and operations in the Measure CC area from 2005 to 2020 base on the authority approved by voters in 2004. The extension of Measure CC, Measure FF, was passed by the voters in November 2018 with an unprecedented 85% approval rate following a two-year planning and public outreach effort. Although all tax revenue has been received, Measure CC will continue to spend down balances and closeout the program beyond 2021.

All Measure CC funds, with the exception of a few allocation areas, are appropriated and have been spent on projects as designated in the Project Commitment Schedule presented to voters. Much of the funding was for operational projects including covering the personnel costs for over 12 FTE staff positions. All these positions continue in 2021 and are funded by either Measure FF or the General Fund.

As required, the Measure CC Project Schedule has been reviewed annually, at which time recommendations are made to the Board regarding proposed appropriations or recommended adjustments to timing or approach deemed necessary to accommodate changing conditions or to meet funding limitations. This project schedule is brought to the Board at this workshop to provide an opportunity for the full Board to review and comment on any proposed changes for the coming year, prior to preparation of the required annual report for formal Board action.

As of June 30, 2020, all revenue from the Measure CC program, totaling $47,884,050, has been received by the Park District. All Park District staff positions funded by Measure CC have been moved to Measure FF or the General Fund. However, expenditures on fuels management and some capital projects will continue until the funding is expended.

A. Status of Projects/Completion of Projects The full Measure CC project list detail and preliminary 2021 Mid-year and 2022 budget proposals is included in as Exhibit 4: Measure CC Status Report (pp. 1-21). In summary:

1. Funding Status As of 2020, out of the total $46.7 million in project allocations on the Measure CC list, $46.7 million has been appropriated, of which approximately $41.9 million has been expended and $4.8 million remains unexpended.

2. Completed Projects The Park District has completed 57 of the 83 projects listed in the Measure CC Expenditure Plan at a total cost of $15.4 million.

3. Operational projects Eleven (11) current projects remain for “operational” funds that have funded staff expenses associated with parks, including the Crab Cove Visitor Center year-round

operation and McLaughlin/Eastshore State Park operations, maintenance and public safety. As noted above all positions are now funded by Measure FF or the General Fund. No new appropriations are proposed for operational projects; however, these projects are going through the project closure process and there will be closing adjustments proposed. The operational projects that will continue are related to fuels and vegetation management which will continue until the remaining balances are spent.

4. In-Progress Projects Fifteen (15) projects in the amount of $15.3 million are in progress and planned to be completed in the near future. Staff plans to bring forward any remaining appropriations and adjustments known, at the 2021 Mid-year budget process. Approximately $727,362 is proposed for mid-year appropriation and additional adjustments of $116,907.

Six major projects in progress include: expanding the Tidewater day use area at MLK, Jr., Gelston property demo and landslide repair at Claremont Canyon, improvements at Miller Knox including lagoon health and rail removal, building the Point Molate trail extension, funding for an interpretive center at Point Pinole, and the SF Bay-Doolittle trail section.

5. Reserve Fund At the 2015 Workshop the Board discussed the criteria, and suggested uses for the $4.7 million, 10% reserve. During 2015 & 2016 the Board approved appropriations of these funds as follows: a) $1,106,245 to the Atlas Road Bridge and Public Access project. b) $1 million for the Point Pinole Visitor Center, initial funding. c) $1.5 million to the Bay Trail, Doolittle Drive section, initial funding. d) $1,090,055 to the Albany Beach Public Access and Restoration, Golden Gate Trail.

Staff recommends that any remaining fund balance after operational projects are closed out and in-progress projects are adjusted be allocated to fuels and vegetation management projects within the Measure CC zone. This balance is estimated to be approximately $700,000.

V. MEASURE FF

The East Bay Regional Park District received more than the required two-thirds approval for Measure FF on the November 2018 ballot. Measure FF will continue the existing, voter- approved funding for Regional Parks in western Alameda and Contra Costa counties – without increasing taxes. Measure FF is the continuation of Measure CC as approved by over 85% of the voters within the Community Facilities District (CFD) boundary. Measure FF will generate over $3.3 million per year beginning in July 2020 for 20 years. The funding is committed to the following areas in accordance with the voter approved expenditure plan:

1. Public Safety and Wildfire Protection, 2. Environmental Conservation, Natural Habitat, Urban Creek and Shoreline Stewardship, 3. Improving Visitor Use Facilities and Public Access, 4. Environmental Education, 5. Green Transportation and Regional Trails, and 6. Staff for 11.59 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Positions

The Measure was placed on the ballot by a resolution of the Board of Directors on June 5, 2018 after many community meetings and stakeholder Advisory Committee Meetings that resulted in a detailed commitment list and expenditure plan that was approved by the voters as shown in Exhibit 5a: Measure FF Commitment List and Proposed Use of Funds (pp. 22-25).

Measure FF funds, with the exception of the 10% of proceeds reserved for unknown events and opportunities, are appropriated annually and spent on projects as designated in the Commitment List and Use of Funds schedule presented to voters. Because Measure FF revenues are generated annually, the authorized projects have been scheduled to be undertaken throughout the life of the measure.

The Project Schedule is reviewed annually, and recommendations are made to the Board regarding proposed appropriations for the coming year. These recommendations include adjustments to timing or approach that are determined to be necessary to accommodate changing conditions or to meet funding limitations. This schedule was brought to the Board at the workshops to provide an opportunity for the full Board to review and comment on the proposal for the coming year, prior to preparation of the required annual report for formal Board action and submittal of the CFD tax information to the counties.

Measure FF projects highlighted for proposed appropriation in 2022 include: • $60,000 for Green Transportation; $600,000 already appropriated to Point Molate and Doolittle Drive Bay Trails in 2020/2021 • $528,900 for Safe & Healthy Forests, Continued Sustainable Forest Management and $515,960 already appropriated in 2021 • $100,000 for MLK Jr, Visitor Use Improvements • $130,000 for Lake Temescal, Water Quality and Green Algae management, $160,000 already appropriated in 2020/2021

• $400,000 for Miller Knox, Keller Beach Renovation • $500,000 already appropriated to Crown Beach infrastructure improvements • $65,000 already appropriated for Point Isabel, Shoreline Stabilization and Habitat Preservation in 2021

It is important to note that the Measure FF provides for operational costs including over eleven FTE staff positions.

VII. MEASURE WW a. Initial Implementation and Bond Sales The first series of bonds issued under the Measure WW authority were issued in mid-2009, the second series in mid-2013 and the most recent series in late 2017. The 2017 $80 million series included $30 million in Certified Green Bonds. The previous $164 million in tax-exempt proceeds issued were sold at extremely low interest rates, with the 2017 series receiving a very competitive rate of 2.48%. The Park District also issued $44.55 million in refunding bonds, with $20 million as Certified Green Bonds, generating $7.1 million in debt service savings. This current refunding in combination with the previous debt re-structure and $20 million issue of Measure AA refunding bonds, has allowed the Park District to hold the combined 2020/21 debt service on both the AA and WW to $1.40 per $100,000 of assessed valuation (AV) and $6.00 per $100,000 the year before; well below the Park District’s $10 per $100,000 of AV commitment to voters. The 2021/22 tax rate Original WW Program Allocations by Metro is also expected to meet this benchmark; however, it will increase to accommodate a new bond issue and the 2021 bond debt service. South West 35% 32% b. Metropolitan Area Allocations The $375 million in Measure WW funding was allocated on the basis of the Metropolitan Diablo Area population balance as known in 2007. 33% The original program allocations, by percentage, are shown in the chart to the right. c. Measure WW Appropriations for Park District Projects $127.1 million in appropriations have been approved by the Board of Directors for WW Acquisition projects ($76.8 million) and WW Park District Development projects ($50.3 million). Details of these appropriations are included in Exhibit 7a: Measure WW Appropriations as of March 15,2021 (pp. 26-36). In addition, $40.0 million has been budgeted to the Land Acquisition “Designated Acquisitions” account, which is the holding account for projects in process that have not yet been transferred and received formal appropriations into separate project areas by the Board. Of the total appropriation of $127.1 million, $106.7 million has been expended on both acquisition and development projects to date, with the largest uses of WW being $6.8 million for the Atlas Road Bridge creating a new access to Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, $2.8 million for the Pinole Shores to Bay Front Park San Francisco Bay Trail, $3.3 million for the Big Break Delta Science Center, $4.1 million towards the purchase of the Roddy properties in Deer Valley, $3.5 million for the Robertson property at Pleasanton Ridge, $3.0 million for the GSA property at Crown Beach, and $3.6 million for Restoring McCosker Creek at Sibley.

The charts below display the Measure WW original targets and appropriations as of March 15, 2021, shown by metro area and by acquisition and development. At this stage of the measure, with only 34% of project allocations appropriated, it is premature to forecast a trend or to assign any significant meaning to the pattern of appropriations. Historically, acquisition opportunities in the Diablo area and the availability of matching funds from the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy Plan (ECCC HCP) have contributed to the growth in the Diablo metro. This past year show growth in the West metro area due to the McCosker Creek Restoration and Encinal Beach projects. These metrics will continue to be brought to the Board in future reports.

Exhibit 7c: Measure WW Status Report (pp. 37-53) reflecting progress on the WW project descriptions presented to the voters in 2008. The report shows that six allocation areas have completed the majority of their commitments to voters. d. Measure WW Green Bond Reporting Projects eligible for Green Bond funding are selected based on their direct climate impact. Eligible projects must provide benefit in one of the following categories: land acquisition projects, both new properties and the expansion of existing parks; restoration of habitat for wildlife; shoreline protection against sea level rise; or establishment and improvement of trails for transportation. The District’s Green Bond Framework specifies that expenditures for recreational improvements such as boat launches, camping, visitor centers, parking and restrooms do not qualify for Green Bond funding.

The District has committed to annual reporting on use of proceeds until the Green Bonds are fully deployed, and to post its Green Bond reports as a voluntary disclosure on the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) website. The District has also committed to engage with the firm First Environment, to serve as a third-party validator, to provide an assurance that that District is conforming with Post-Issuance Requirements of the Climate Bonds Standard, and that nominated projects continue align with the Green Bond Framework. The District’s Green Bond reporting will provide an accounting for expenditures made to-date and will quantify the carbon sequestered or other climate benefit already obtained or expected to be obtained from the project following completion.

Green Bond spending in 2019 was $9.3 million, or 31% of the total $30 million issuance. Summarized 2019 expenditures by green Project Type are provided in the table below. Total Green Bond expenditures through December 31, 2019 were $19.4 million, or 65% of the original $30 million. Exhibit 7e: 2019 Green Bonds Report (pp. 54-63) lists the projects that utilized Green Bonds in 2019.

2019 Green Bond Category Expenditure Acquisition $1,383,610 Habitat $863,713 Sea Level $120,324 Trails $6,979,960 Grand Total $9,347,607

E. Measure WW Cash Flow The Park District has issued $244.4 million in Measure WW bonds to date. At this time, Measure WW appropriations, to Park District as well as Local Grant projects, total $248.3 million. The review and appropriation of funding to additional local grant contracts is expected to add approximately $60,324 to this amount for a total appropriated amount of $248.4 million. These appropriations are commitments of the Park District and the Measure WW program to reimburse local agencies and this Park District with bond funds for eligible expenditures.

These contractual promises (appropriations) of Measure WW funds exceed the $244.4 million of current bond sale proceeds. However, this is not an immediate concern because, of these appropriated amounts, only $215.1 million has actually been expended or reimbursed to local agencies, leaving a sufficient balance in the fund to pay anticipated expenses and reimbursements for the next year. The tables below reflect the past ten years of spending on the Measure WW program.

F. Measure WW Interest, Reserve, and Balance

Measure WW proceeds are invested with the trustee and earning interest; as of 12/31/2020 Approximately $4.3 million in interest has been earned. $1.2 million has been appropriated for projects in the Diablo Metro area, and $200,000 has been allocated for bond administration fees.

Interest: The Board of Directors requested, during the establishment of Measure WW, that interest earned be allocated first to offset any changes in metro-area balance determined by the 2010 Census. Population information was received and compiled in 2011, and metro-area population balances did change as follows:

Increase in Population Decrease in Population • Diablo Metro has increased by • South Metro has decreased by 0.3% 1.2% (from 32.9% to 34.1%) (from 27.8% to 27.5%) • West Metro has decreased by 0.9% (from 39.2% to 38.3%) When applied to the full WW program, the 1.2% increase in population in Diablo Metro represents a total dollar increase of $4.1 million in that metropolitan sector. Given the low current rate of interest earnings, the Board agreed that the full balance of interest earned to- date, and for the foreseeable future, be allocated to the Diablo Metro area until the new target is met, or until the 2020 Census provides an updated target. This allocation will supersede and make unnecessary the prior practice under Measure AA of apportioning interest by the Metro Area percentages on an annual basis. The alternative strategy available, to reduce the previously established allocations in South and West Metro areas below those approved by the voters in 2008, was not deemed prudent or feasible.

Metro areas will be rebalanced based on the results of the 2020 U.S. Census.

G. Reserve Measure WW includes a provision for a 7% or $26.25 million reserve that was not specifically committed by project, park, metro area or acquisition/development. $20.8 million remains in this general allocation available for unanticipated future project needs and opportunities. In 2015, these reserves were utilized for the first time for the following Board approved appropriations: • $1,500,000 for the Point Pinole Atlas Road Bridge project (2015) • $857,540 for the Restore Dotson Family Marsh at Point Pinole (2015) • $1,600,333 for the San Francisco Bay Trail, Pinole Shores to Bay Front Park project (2016) • $200,000 for bond related administrative fees (2016) • $1,000,000 for San Francisco Bay Trail connection behind Golden Gate Fields (2018)

During discussion by the Board at the 2015 Workshops, staff received guidance regarding the character of projects that the Board might consider for future use of the WW Reserve funds

as follows: • Use only for BIG projects (subject to definition) • Use to complete major projects • Set a minimum $ amount ($2 million?) • Consider Metro Area balance • Consider Demand • Should be high profile projects • Use for/consider as matching funds (grants) • Use for public access There was no consensus at the Workshop on establishing a formal policy; however, staff was asked to return to the Board to discuss specific proposals and alternatives that staff finds consistent with the Board’s guidance before a request for a formal appropriation is made.

Important projects that may qualify for the future use of Measure WW Reserves include additional funding for Garms Staging Area at Pleasanton Ridge and development of the GSA property at Crown Beach. Staff will return to the Board at a future date to discuss these possible uses of Measure WW Reserves which has a current balance of $20.8 million.

H. Measure WW Balance The District-wide Measure WW funding remaining available in the overall program, less appropriated funds, but inclusive of the reserve, totals $250.5 million. Measure WW allocations are established by the expenditure plan adopted in 2008; however, the Board reserves the ability to modify the plan, apply the reserves, transfer funds between allocation areas and/or adjust the balance between acquisition and development uses.

Just as in Measure AA, the initial spending plan for Measure WW allocates seventy five percent (75%) of the project funding to park and open space acquisition projects (Acquisition), and twenty five percent (25%) to park, recreation and resource projects (Development). However, unlike Measure AA, under Measure WW the Board reserves the ability to modify the plan, apply the reserves, transfer funds between allocation areas and/or adjust the balance between acquisition and development uses. To date the Board has approved the use of Acquisition funds for the following Development projects:

• $120,000, San Francisco Bay Trail Improvements at Pinole Shores to Bay Front Park • $862,071, Iron Horse Trail Improvements at Dublin/Pleasanton BART to Santa Rita • $400,000, Build East Bay Greenway, Coliseum BART to 85th • $392,684, Restore Albany Beach at McLaughlin Eastshore State Park • $2,505,911 Build Golden Gate Fields Bay Trail at McLaughlin Eastshore State Park • $2,400,000 McCosker Creek Restoration at Sibley Volcanic Preserve

Consideration for the Board in using Acquisition funds for future Development projects include:

• Lack of availability of land acquisition targets in the area. Often in heavily urbanized areas,

particularly along the shoreline, the availability of viable parks and open space properties is limited. Examples include Bay Water Trail sites at Point Pinole and Bay Point, wetland restorations and public access at McLaughlin Eastshore State Park or MLK Jr. Regional Shoreline. • Availability of permanent easements. Often land rights for trails can be acquired from existing rights of way or by permanent recorded easements. The District also utilized long-term operating agreements, leases and license agreements with other agencies such as cities, counties, water and flood control districts, etc. at little or no cost. Examples include extension of the Iron Horse Trail along the Walnut Creek Channel, the East Bay Greenway or the Marsh Creek Trail. While these agreements do provide access, they should not be considered permanent. • Land Banked properties with priority development or restoration. The Park District has land banked properties, many acquired using outside funding. The Park District may have a strong need to open or restore these existing land banked properties, especially when they were acquired with donations or grant funds. Examples may include the donated Patterson property at Coyote Hills and Concord Naval Weapons Station property.

2019 Green Bonds Report

$30 million in Measure WW Green Bonds issued 2019 Green BondReport November 2017

Exhibit 7e

Introduction This report provides a detailed accounting of the Park District’s Measure WW Green Bond funds for calendar year 2019. The report also quantifies current and expected future benefits of projects undertaken with Green Bond funds.

Overview of EBRPD Mission and Sustainability Goals The East Bay Regional Park District provides a diversified open space land and water system of 73 parks, preserving and protecting over 124,909 acres of parkland in the San Francisco Bay Area ‐‐ including 150+ miles of active transportation trails, 55 miles of shoreline, 54,000 acres of grasslands, 45,000 acres of woodlands, and 2,500 acres of wetlands ‐‐ all of which perform an increasingly critical role in sequestering carbon, reducing carbon emissions, protecting wildlife, and mitigating climate change effects. The District’s Green Bond program is the natural extension of the District’s long‐stated mission to preserve a rich heritage of natural and cultural resources.

Overview of the Park District’s Green Bonds 2019 Green BondReport In November 2017, the District issued $30 million in Measure WW Green Bonds, to be used for green Project Types, as described below:

Project Type Green Bond Project Type Description

55 Property acquired for inclusion in parks owned and managed by the District. This activity generally maintains land Acquisition in its natural condition, providing carbon sequestration as well as preventing the higher climate impacts of development. Other land is acquired to create wildlife corridors. Habitat Projects that improve habitat for plants and animals. Sea Level Project that improve the shore land to mitigate or respond to rising sea‐levels. Creation of bicycle and pedestrian trails, providing alternatives to the use of automobiles and thereby helping to Trails reduce greenhouse gases.

Summary of 2019 Green Bond Expenditures Green Bond spending in 2019 was $9.347 million, or 31% of the total $30 million issuance. Summarized 2019 expenditures by green Project Type are provided in the table below. Total Green Bond expenditures through December 31, 2019 were $19.4 million, or 65% of the original $30 million.

Category 2019 Green Bond Expenditure

Acquisition $1,383,610 Exhibit 7e Habitat $863,713 Sea Level $120,324 Trails $6,979,960 Grand Total $9,347,607

Green Bond Framework The District’s Green Bond Framework aligns with Green Bond Principals and includes four core components: Use of proceeds, Process for project evaluation and selection, Management of Green Bond proceeds, and Reporting. This report addresses each component.

Use of Proceeds Projects eligible for Green Bond funding are selected based on their direct climate impact. Eligible projects must provide benefit in one of the following categories: land acquisition projects, both new properties and the expansion of existing parks; restoration of habitat for wildlife; shoreline protection against sea level rise; or establishment and improvement of trails for transportation. The District’s Green Bond Framework specifies that expenditures for recreational improvements such as boat launches, camping, visitor centers, parking and restrooms do not qualify for Green Bond funding.

Project Evaluation and Selection 2019 Green BondReport Voters’ approval of the District’s $500 million Measure WW Bond in 2008 included allocation of bond funds to specific projects. With the 2017 Measure WW Green Bond issuance, an additional layer of tracking and reporting was developed in the four Green Bond categories: Acquisition, Habitat, Sea Level, and Trails. Existing projects were reviewed by project management staff to determine Green Bond‐ eligibility, based on the Green Bond Framework criteria. All new Measure WW eligible projects are evaluated for green‐bond eligibility 56 based on the Green Bond Framework, prior to being established in the financial software system.

Management of Proceeds Green Bond proceeds, held by US Bank as Trustee, were invested as authorized under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, consistent with the District’s Investment Policy. The District advances funds for project expenditures from its own monies. Quarterly, the District seeks reimbursement from the Trustee for project expenditures. As described in the section above, Green Bond eligible projects have been identified in the District’s financial system and can be tracked by category type (Acquisition, Habitat, Sea Level, and Trails). Financial reports developed for Green Bond expenditure tracking are used for Trustee reimbursements. As part of the bond requisition format, the District’s Chief Finance Officer certifies expenditures as eligible for reimbursement per the Green Bond Framework criteria.

Reporting The District has committed to annual reporting on use of proceeds until the Green Bonds are fully deployed, and to post its Green Bond reports as a voluntary disclosure on the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) website. The District has also committed to engage with the firm First Environment, to serve as a third‐party validator, to provide an assurance that that District is conforming with Post‐ Exhibit 7e Issuance Requirements of the Climate Bonds Standard, and that nominated projects continue align with the Green Bond Framework. The District’s Green Bond reporting will provide an accounting for expenditures made to‐date and will quantify the carbon sequestered or other climate benefit already obtained or expected to be obtained from the project following completion.

John Sutter’s lifetime of environmental activism shaped Oakland’s landscape Friends and colleagues remember Judge John Sutter, who tirelessly advocated for the preservation of open space and parklands. by C.J. Hirschfield May 25, 2021

For the last 32 years, you pretty much knew where John Sutter would be every Thursday morning. Starting at 7 a.m., he gathered with friends at the Garden Center in Lakeside Park for a meeting of the convivial Lake Merritt Breakfast Club. Dedicated to ensuring the vibrancy and health of Oakland’s downtown aquatic wildlife refuge and the park that surrounds it, this was the perfect place for a man who devoted most of his life to advocating for environmental stewardship and public access to open space. Each breakfast club meeting began with a hearty chorus of “Oh What a Beautiful Morning,” which is a great way to start the day in Oakland.

Sutter served on the Oakland City Council from 1971 to 1982, as Alameda County Superior Court Judge from 1982 to 1996, and on the East Bay Regional Park District board from 1998 to 2018. He was a graduate of Oakland High School, Harvard, and Stanford Law School. Following military service, Sutter served as an Alameda County deputy district attorney. But no matter where he worked, he was constantly advocating for the environment and outdoors. In 1961, he worked to save Oakland’s Snow Park and helped found the group today known as Greenbelt Alliance, which concerns itself with the loss of open space to urban sprawl.

Sutter’s resume is long and impressive, but so are the friendships and the alliances he built over his life.

The honorable Judge John Sutter passed away the week of May 10 at the age of 92, just seven months after a 22-acre regional shoreline park was dedicated in his honor, and just a few weeks after the death of Ellie, his wife of 65 years. Last weekend, at the Judge John Sutter Regional Shoreline, a project he proposed in 1967 for public recreation and access, there were bicyclists, walkers, runners and dog walkers, a sight he would no doubt have enjoyed. From an observation deck supported by pilings that once held up the original eastern span of the Bay Bridge, visitors can watch sailboats, wildlife, people fishing, all with a spectacular panoramic view of the bay.

In October, at the dedication of the park he’d envisioned and shepherded for over half a century, the ever-humble Sutter had something so important to say that he repeated it twice: “I’d like to thank the guys and gals in hard hats that helped make this happen,” he said, honoring not just the political bigwigs, but also the people who actually provided the project’s labor.

As some of his close friends and colleagues remembered him, that was Sutter: “minimal spectacle, maximal effect.”

What follows are remembrances of longtime Oakland activists and residents who knew him well. Their words have been edited for length and clarity.

Naomi Schiff, Coalition of Advocates for Lake Merritt

“I liked something John said when the Sierra Club gave him the David Brower Award in 2019: He said that he had been fortunate to live a long time—you have to live a long time, because it takes so many years to get these projects done. Minimal spectacle, maximal effect. I remember when the regional parks district made a video of John as he was retiring from the board. We were at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline Park, and John kept changing his position, against the wishes of the videographer, who was striving for the best lighting. John finally said he didn’t want the Alameda shoreline—private houses with boat slips—as his backdrop, insisting that the background show the parkland. Minimal spectacle, maximal effect.”

Dick Spees, member of the Oakland City Council from 1979 to 1982

“Then-Mayor Lionel Wilson concluded that the Oakland Zoo, rated ‘the worst zoo in America’ by Parade Magazine, had to go. When Lionel was out of town, John and I arranged to get additional funding for the attraction, and it was voted through. Lionel didn’t speak to either of us for about six weeks. John was a very strong progressive, but very conservative on finances. He was a great friend and colleague, and we have lost a very great leader.”

Jerry Brown, former governor and mayor of Oakland from 1999 to 2007

“John was a good man and a tireless advocate for Oakland. After years of serving on the bench, he took up an activist’s life and fought for years to preserve the character and beauty of Oakland. He tangled with the powers that be—even me—but he stuck to his guns and the city and the whole East Bay is the better for it.”

Michael Colbruno, port commissioner who served with Sutter on the Chabot Space and Science Center Board

“I can’t think of anyone in the history of Oakland who served in so many capacities. When John found out where I lived, he asked if I heard cars on the nearby I-580 freeway; I answered yes, but that it wasn’t that bad. ‘You sleep better at night without trucks, and that’s because of me,’ he delighted in saying, pointing out that he chaired the committee that prevented large trucks from operating on I- 580 through the Oakland hills. I credit a lot of my advocacy for a cleaner, greener port to him. In his own quiet way, he stood so firmly and spoke with such moral authority—not from ego, but from experience.”

Marge Gibson Haskell, member of the Oakland City Council from 1979-1992

“When I was on the council there was a crazy issue—people wanted to run the intersection of highways 24 and 13 through Temescal Park—which would have killed the park. John, East Bay Regional Parks District board member Harlan Kessel and I vowed that it would only happen over our dead bodies. We prevailed—big time—and we still have the park. Oh, and John was also the only person who could nit-pick the city budget better than me.”

Wilson Riles, Jr., member of the Oakland City Council from 1979-1992

“John was one of the reasons I was able to be on the council—he even shared his campaign office with me; a great gift. At that time, there had been a real shift because of Black Panther Party Chairman Bobby Seale’s 1973 campaign for mayor. A lot more people of color registered to vote as liberal democrats, like John was. It wasn’t about personality with John. He was a policy wonk who stuck to what was right, and was kind of a mentor to me in a lot of ways. Back then, we used to say that there was a red phone on the desk of Mayor Lionel Wilson that went right through to William Knowland at the Tribune. Local politics was very much controlled by the business community, who saw John as an irritant rather than a threat, because at that time he was often the only vote against them.”

C.J. HIRSCHFIELD C.J. Hirschfield recently retired after 17 years as Executive Director of Children’s Fairyland, where she was charged with the overall operation of the nation’s first storybook theme park. Prior to that, she served as an executive in the cable television industry, where she produced two regular series and ran San Francisco’s public access channel. She penned a weekly column for the Piedmont Post for 13 years, wrote regularly for Oakland Local, and has contributed to KQED’s Perspectives series.

Park at former East Bay weapons site could be named for Black Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall defended the Port Chicago 50 while a civil rights lawyer By SHOMIK MUKHERJEE | [email protected] | PUBLISHED: May 11, 2021 at 5:58 a.m. | UPDATED: May 11, 2021 at 8:10 a.m. A cyclist rides his bike past the area designated to become a park during the Concord Regional Park Conveyance/Port Chicago 75th Anniversary event held at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station in Concord, Calif., on Saturday, July 13, 2019. (Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group) CONCORD — A large regional park planned at the former naval weapons station could be named after the Black civil rights lawyer and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who defended U.S. Navy servicemen in the 1940s after they were punished for protesting unsafe labor conditions. It would be the first park in Contra Costa County named for a Black person.

The Navy transferred most of 2,500-acre parkland to the East Bay Regional Park District in 2019 — one step in a much larger land-transfer process for the former weapons site. Originally named the Concord Hills Regional Park, the site could be given the official name “Thurgood Marshall Regional Park – Home of the Port Chicago 50” if adopted by the park district’s board of directors. An executive committee will meet Tuesday afternoon, where it could make a formal recommendation to the board for the new name.

“Staff supports a name that continues to educate the public about the deadly Port Chicago explosion, the bravery of the fifty men [who] took a stand against unsafe and unjust conditions, and the key role that the disaster and mutiny trial the played in the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces,” the committee’s agenda report says. Park officials had already intended to build a visitor center at the park commemorating the Port Chicago explosion of 1944, which killed 320 sailors and servicemen who were loading a heavy load of munitions onto a cargo vessel when it detonated.

In the disaster’s aftermath, the servicemen at the port — the majority of whom were Black, because the military was racially segregated during World War II — said their leadership had not been trained to oversee the handling of dangerous munitions. They refused to load more munitions until safer working conditions were established.

In retaliation, the Navy convicted 50 protesters of mutiny and sentenced them to 15 years in prison and hard labor. Marshall, then chief counsel of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, appealed their convictions with a strong legal defense. Among his key arguments, Marshall pointed out that the Navy’s segregation policies ensured that Black men exclusively were expected to carry out the dangerous job of loading munitions. The men were eventually freed after the war, and Marshall’s advocacy ultimately led to desegregation of the military.

Part of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station, which includes 2,300 acres of open space land. (Steven Joseph/East Bay Regional Parks District) “Designation of this park as “Thurgood Marshall – Home of the Port Chicago 50” honors the bravery of the fifty men who organized to protest return to work orders and challenged the U.S. government,” says the staff report in Tuesday’s meeting agenda. “Without their bravery, the story of Port Chicago would not be known, and the advocacy of Thurgood Marshall would never come to be.

Marshall went on to become the first African-American Supreme Court justice.

When consulted by park district staff, residents broadly agreed with the idea of recognizing the the Port Chicago explosion. They also expressed interest in Native American park names. In the agenda report, park district staff recommend “potential programs” to highlight indigenous culture.

Park district staff did not provide comment by deadline on when the regional park in Concord is expected to open.

About two dozen labor, military and Black advocacy organizations have endorsed the name change, while a Change.org petition supporting the new name has received 890 signatures. The petition also calls for neighboring parks to be renamed after the Chupcan people, who are native to Concord. Victoria Adams, the president of the NAACP’s east Contra Costa County chapter, said in an interview that it was important to name the park after Marshall in remembrance of the “heroes who were brave enough to stand up for what is right.”

“It’s OK that our history is remembered along with everyone else’s,” Adams said. “And it’s OK that we have institutions named after people who have done important things — their stories need to be told.”

TUESDAY, MAY 4, 2021 East Bay Municipal Utility District declares Stage 1 drought BY EMMA TAILA | STAFF LAST UPDATED 1 DAY AGO

Jonathan Gross under CC BY-SA 2.0

The East Bay Municipal Utilities District, or EBMUD, Board of Directors declared a Stage 1 drought April 27, indicating a water shortage that has implications for both Bay Area residents and plant life.

The declaration followed the death of hundreds of acres of trees in the East Bay Regional Park District, which started in October, partially caused by the second- driest year of rainfall on record in the region.

“California is sort of a droughty place, and so with that Mediterranean climate it is sort of a regular period of seasonal drought, but what’s been happening lately are these large, wide-scale single and multi-year droughts,” said Jodi Axelson, campus assistant cooperative extension specialist in the department of environmental science, policy and management. “The combined effect of hotter temperatures with moisture stress is putting trees under novel stress, causing tree mortality.”

Axelson noted that drought can weaken trees to diseases or pests that would normally be manageable, but under extreme stress, can lead to death. She said climate change and forest management practices both played roles in last year’s wildfire season.

The declaration gives EBMUD the ability to obtain supplemental water from other sources and request residents to voluntarily decrease their water usage, according to EBMUD spokesperson Andrea Pook.

“EBMUD’s reservoir system is 69% full. This is enough to get through the next few years, but we will need customers to use water wisely so we can stretch supplies,” said EBMUD director Andy Katz in an email. “Most Berkeley residents are very efficient with their water use, so we’re asking residents to keep conserving.” Katz added that the goal of these conservation efforts is to reduce water consumption by 10% and that the board will reassess conditions in the future. Depending on prevailing conditions, the board could lift the drought declaration or declare a further stage in 2022, according to Katz.

The last drought began in 2013 and became a Stage 4 Critical Drought in 2015, according to EBMUD.

“We need to be managing these forests with recognition of what their historical structures used to look like before we got good at suppressing fires,” Axelson said. “It’s complex, and there’s no silver bullets in this era of rapid change. It’s the way we interact and behave and the choices we make in our ecosystems.”

Katz noted that EBMUD is encouraging residents to save water by fixing leaks, washing full loads of laundry and using water only when rinsing while washing their hands. Axelson also recommended that residents plant native, drought-tolerant species and take steps to understand the signs of ecological stress on nearby plants.

Mass tree death in East Bay parks raises alarm ahead of fire season

Drought is the likely culprit in the first die-back pattern researchers have seen in the Bay Area.

By Eden Teller May 2, 2021, 6 a.m.

A broad pattern of tree deaths across the East Bay Regional Park District has raised alarms for the park’s fire risk management team as the Bay Area enters an extreme drought and a high-risk fire season.

Around 1,000 acres of trees, from invasive eucalyptus and acacias to native pines and bay laurels, are dead or dying, according to the park district. That includes around 62 acres in Tilden, which is 2,079 acres total, and 624 acres in Anthony Chabot, which is 5,067. EBRPD totals 124,909 acres.

Researchers are posting updates on the Bay Area tree die-back “It’s bigger than the park district. It’s really a regional issue” affecting woodland throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties and starting to affect areas in Marin and San Mateo counties, said Aileen Theile, EBRPD’s fire chief. And as a dry summer approaches, she added, “it’s quickly going to become a public safety issue.”

Park staff noticed the tree death and die-back in October 2020 while doing standard fire reduction and vegetation care in various areas of the parks. The increase in dead wood is “right in the middle of the wildland-urban interface,” which is particularly worrying for fire management, Theile said.

A map of tree mortality in the East Bay. Credit: East Bay Regional Park District After noticing the tree damage last fall, EBRPD surveyed the parks from a helicopter to estimate its extent. It’s easy for visitors to the parks to spot the die-back: “All they really have to do is look up and east,” Theile said.

Crews have been hard at work everywhere from along Grizzly Peak Boulevard to the Brazil Building and Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, removing low-hanging dead branches, clearing dead foliage and checking in with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to burn the detritus quickly while conditions allow. In mid-May, there will also be a small prescribed burn in Tilden of an area that the park district has been monitoring and maintaining for years, Theile said.

“It’s obviously a dynamic and evolving situation, and we have a lot more to learn [but] doing nothing is not an option,” Theile said.

The EBRPD will use funds from Measures CC and FF (which voters passed in November 2018 to protect against wildfires, restore natural areas and maintain public access in regional parks) to tackle the costs of tree removal and continue surveillance and action against wildfire danger. Staff plan to ask the board of directors to approve a bid for funding from CalFire, FEMA and the Coastal Conservancy. “It’s not one and done, it’s constant maintenance,” Thiele said during an April 26 committee meeting.

The wide variety of species that are struggling or dying, plus recent weather conditions and the geographic distribution of the die-backs, point to drought stress as a root cause, according to Natalie van Doorn, a research urban ecologist, and Susan Frankel, a plant pathologist, both at the US Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Research Station in Albany. The stress of drought makes trees more susceptible to pathogens and parasites, such as two fungi that researchers have seen damaging many of the acacia in the recent die-off, van Doorn and Frankel said via email.

Since “problems of this type do not respect property boundaries, and resources are scarce,” multiple local, regional, state and federal organizations are working together to untangle this problem, van Doorn and Frankel said, including the USDA Forest Service, the UC Berkeley Forest Pathology and Mycology Lab, Cal Fire and EBRPD. Even small organizations like the Friends of Sausal Creek and Friends of Joaquin Miller Park are helping raise awareness and reporting patches of dead trees, they added. Drought has caused problems for forests in California before. From 2012 to 2015, a severe drought in the Sierra Nevada killed 140 million trees, mostly conifers, van Doorn and Frankel said. Climate change-fueled heat waves magnified the impact of that drought and others across the state, according to climate researchers. However, the die-back noticed last fall is the first time researchers have seen a pattern of mortality and die-back in the Bay Area, the pair wrote.

Some people use the terms “die-back” and “die-off” interchangeably, but distinguishing between trees that appear dead versus trees that are actually dead is surprisingly difficult, and the term “die-back” acknowledges that some of the trees may recover, van Doorn and Frankel said. Eucalyptus and acacia in particular are known to vigorously re-sprout after damage.

“The extent and severity of the die-back and die-off of trees in the Bay Area has not been fully documented yet, so it is difficult to compare to other die-off events. It may be that some of the trees recover, since the roots may not be dead,” van Doorn and Frankel wrote.

EBRPD’s work to manage the die-back shouldn’t affect visitors to Tilden or the district’s other parks unless high wind or other heightened fire danger events force the district to close a park, Theile said. And though the park may be closed, staff are still working to protect the land and the people living nearby.

This story was updated at 12:15 p.m. on May 4 to include a map of areas affected by the die- back, a list of acres impacted by park and more information from an EBRPD committee meeting.

Help your dog “Be a Pup Pro” on East Bay trails By Ned MacKay 4 days ago Posters at park trailheads help remind visitors to follow the rules for dog behavior. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — The other day we were sitting on a bench eating lunch at Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, when another hiker with two big, friendly dogs came past on the trail.

One of the dogs saw us and made a beeline for the food. My reflexes were fast enough that I covered our lunch just in time. Won by a nose.

Its owner called the dog back and all was well. But it did remind us of some dog-related rules of the road.

The park district has a “Be A Pup Pro” campaign under way. You’ve probably seen the posters at trailheads.

Basic themes The campaign has three basic themes:

• Bag it and bin it. Everyone is supposed to pick up after their pet has done its business. Deposit the waste in a trashcan. Please don’t just leave it trailside for someone else to deal with. • Leash your dog in designated areas. Such as parking lots, trailheads, picnic areas, paved trails, etc. Note also that dogs are not allowed at swim beaches or in some places that are wildlife sanctuaries. One example is Round Valley south of Brentwood, where dogs are prohibited because the park is habitat for the rare and endangered San Joaquin kit fox. Tilden Nature Area near Berkeley (just the nature area, not the entire park) is off-limits for dogs, too. Elsewhere, watch for signs indicating where dogs are prohibited or must be leashed. • Keep your dog safe. Leash your dog around cattle and horses. Some horses can be skittish with dogs, resulting in unsafe conditions for everyone. In general, dogs are allowed off-leash in the regional parks, once you are away from the trailheads, as long as the dog is under voice control, which means it will return to its owner when called.

If a dog starts chasing wildlife or cattle, or has uninvited interactions with other park visitors (see above), the dog has to be put back on leash.

Your pet’s needs Be considerate of your pet’s needs. As the weather gets warmer, dogs can become overheated. After all, they are wearing permanent fur coats. And their main method of regulating their body temperature is by panting.

So carry enough water for Fido as well as for yourself. There are plenty of lightweight dog water dishes on the market, or you can use a one-gallon plastic zip bag.

Remember, too, that pavement can get very hot in the sun. And sharp, rocky surfaces are hard on paws.

There are special rules for dogs at Point Isabel Regional Shoreline in Richmond. Dogs are okay off-leash in the park. But carry a six-foot maximum leash and keep your dog on-leash in parking lots and on streets. Dogs must be under voice control and within your sight at all times. Clean up your dog’s waste and put it in the trashcans. Leash your pet if it shows aggressive behavior. Prevent your pet from digging or damaging the landscape.

In all the regional parks, anyone who walks or exercises a dog for a fee, or who walks more than three personal dogs, has to obtain and carry a revocable annual permit. For information on the dog permit program, call 510-690-6508. For more information on dog rules in the regional parks, check out the website, www.ebparks.org.

East Bay Regional Park District is a very dog-friendly agency. And a little common sense and common courtesy goes a long way towards assuring a pleasant park experience for dog owners and non-owners alike.

Drone crashes into bald eagles nest in East Bay park tree Officials are investigating to determine if an eaglet was harmed By JOSEPH GEHA | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: April 27, 2021 at 1:49 p.m. | UPDATED: April 28, 2021 at 3:19 p.m.

FREMONT, CA – APRIL 27: A bald eagle takes flight from a nest at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, Calif., on Tuesday, April 27, 2021.

FREMONT — A drone apparently crashed into an eagles nest in a eucalyptus tree in Ardenwood Historic Park, displacing the majestic birds from their perch at least temporarily, officials said Tuesday.

But the bald eagles may not be gone for long. A park naturalist and a Bay Area News Group photographer witnessed one of them return to the nest for a minute or so late Tuesday afternoon before soaring off.

(Anda Chu/Bay Area News Group)

Authorities from the East Bay Regional Park District and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, are investigating the incident and trying to determine whether there was an eaglet in the nest when the drone crashed, and if so whether it was killed or injured, park district spokesperson Dave Mason said.

“It appears the drone crashed into the nest,” Mason said, noting that parts of the device were found in the nest. Mason said park neighbors or visitors alerted the district on Monday about the drone in the nest, although no one seems to know when the crash happened and who was responsible.

“We understand this is upsetting to the community. It’s upsetting to the district as well, as stewards of the environment and wildlife,” Mason said.

He said the two adult eagles first nested in the park last year, according to park district naturalists and biologists who monitor Ardenwood’s animals. The eagles had been displaying nesting behavior again recently and, prior to the one eagle’s brief visit Monday afternoon, they were last spotted in the nest by park staff on April 19, Mason said.

“They may have abandoned the nest, but obviously we’re investigating the situation to see what has actually taken place in that nest high up in the tree. Only time will tell if they come back, once the drone is removed,” Mason said.

Park staff said the nest is located in a eucalyptus tree grove along the park’s northern boundary, which adjoins a residential area.

“Drones are not allowed in (East Bay Regional Park District) parks for many reasons, including disturbing or potentially harming wildlife. This is a potentially very sad example,” Mason said.

Marie Susa, a bird enthusiast and photographer from Half Moon Bay, said the incident is “heartbreaking.”

Susa speculated that the person responsible was trying to take a close-up photo of the eagles.

“Let them grow and let the population grow here instead of people just having to get that image and post to social media,” Susa said Tuesday in an interview. She noted that many bird enthusiasts know to only take photos from the ground at a distance and not disturb the animals.

“Social media is not more important than having bald eagles repopulate in the Bay Area,” she said.

Bald eagles, while no longer considered endangered, are still a protected species under multiple federal laws, including the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. That law says people must not “molest or disturb” the eagles and any violations could result in civil and criminal penalties, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The agency’s bald eagle management guidelines say if the birds are agitated by human activities, they may “inadequately construct or repair their nest, may expend energy defending the nest rather than tending to their young, or may abandon the nest altogether.”

Proposed Niles Canyon Trail would link Sunol and Fremont Aims to create bike, pedestrian access while preserving historic water, rail infrastructure by Julia Baum / Pleasanton Weekly Uploaded: Mon, Apr 26, 2021, 2:41 pm 9

The proposed 5.8-mile Niles Canyon Trail would run from east Fremont to unincorporated Sunol, as seen on this map from Alameda County Public Works Agency. (Courtesy image) Tri-Valley residents may one day be able to travel on foot or bike through Niles Canyon on a nearly six-mile proposed trail that would link the eastern end of Fremont and the unincorporated community of Sunol -- which Alameda County officials also said would ''preserve the historic water and rail infrastructure within Niles Canyon."

In a public update on the project last month, officials said, "Improving access in the canyon is a gateway to open space for Alameda County residents."

Rick Yeung of the Alameda County Public Works Agency, which has also partnered with the Public Utilities Commission and the East Bay Regional Park District for the project, told the Weekly that development of the 5.8-mile bicycle and pedestrian connection will use a combination of new trail sections, portions of the former Sunol Aqueduct, and existing railways for a route running from the Niles District in Fremont to Sunol.

"Much of Phase 1 from Niles to Palomares Road uses existing roadways for the trail," Yeung said. "Phase 2, which is from Palomares Road to the Niles Canyon Railway Yard near Brightside, re-purposes the aqueduct as a trail for about 25% of the route. About 70% of Phase 3 from the Niles Canyon Railway Yard to Sunol requires the construction of new trail."

Yeung said planners may need to secure an easement to cross private property, "which would require payment for the full market value of the land," though a private landowner is not required to grant an easement.

The area in question is small, but Yeung said, "If this becomes an issue, the project will need to adjust the trail's location, which may increase construction cost and complexity."

With some parts of the proposed trail adjacent to the Niles Canyon Railway or Highway 84, or near steep slopes, features like retaining walls and a pedestrian bridge at Palomares Road will need to be built. Parts of the aqueduct will also get a layer of asphalt on the top surface, as well as a second concrete exterior wall and handrail for pedestrians.

Visitor parking at the existing Niles Plaza parking facility and the Alameda Creek Staging Area would be linked to the trail, along with a new parking area at Palomares Road and the future EBRPD Tyler Staging Area.

Because of "a significant increase in people experiencing homelessness within Niles Canyon over the last decade," Yeung said "unfortunately, this has led to illicit activity including the disposal of waste and toxic substances such as spray paint," and will require cleaning the canyon.

However, Yeung said officials believe the trail's development "will create 'eyes on the canyon' that will help to prevent encampments and illegal waste disposal."

"It is difficult to predict the number of trail users," Yeung said. "However, when looking at other regional trails in the Bay Area, we anticipate a peak of about 400 people on a nice weekend day."

According to Yeung, the entire trail "exceeds $100 million to complete," with the first phase at a total development cost of about $29 million. The Alameda County Transportation Commission, Alameda County, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and city of Fremont have all provided funding for the project.

A source of construction funds has not been identified yet, but Yeung said "a project of this scale will likely receive a combination of funds from local, state, and federal sources."

The county is currently developing an environmental impact report; a scope session will be held in the early summer and open for public comment. To learn more about the project, visit www.nilescanyontrail.org.

Apr 23, 2021 The Trailblazers When Oakland native Kamala Harris made history as the first female United States vice president, we felt a deep measure of hometown pride. Her momentous achievement inspired us to pay tribute to other remarkable women from our region who have also broken new ground in different ways. We dedicate this special edition of Diablo to these phenomenal women who never cease to amaze us—and whom we’re privileged to call our neighbors. ------Guiding Our Open Spaces SABRINA LANDRETH EBRPD GENERAL MANAGER

The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) is one of the region’s treasures, with some 125,000 acres of open space spread among 73 parks. So when Sabrina Landreth was named the Park District’s general manager, it was big news for several reasons.

One, she is the first woman to hold this position in the EBRPD’s 87-year history. And two, she succeeds the legendary Robert Doyle, who retired as general manager after a 47-year career with the Park District.

Landreth, who has deep roots in the Bay Area, built her career in local government; most recently, she served as city administrator in Oakland, directing operations for the city’s 25 departments and some 5,000 employees. Now, she comes to her new job at a critical time, when the EBRPD faces pressing issues that include wildfire threats and financial concerns stemming from the pandemic.

“I think the District can be the best local government agency in the country,” she says. “That’s one of the reasons I answered the call to come here. The District is ... uniquely situated to play a leadership role in helping to solve these problems.”

Bay Area native pushes for East Bay parks to observe Juneteenth By Julian Glover Tuesday, April 20, 2021 OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- He used his paintbrush to raise awareness about the movement for Black lives last June, now Deonta Allen is using his voice to push for the annual observance of Juneteenth throughout East Bay Regional Parks.

Allen fondly remembers Richmond's annual Juneteenth parade as a kid -- full of life, joy, happiness-full of freedom.

"I'm leaning on everyone in the community for this right now. Where there's people, there's power," said Allen.

Allen, an artist and East Bay Regional Parks employee, understands the power of the people.

He led the charge to paint "Black Lives Matter" in front of Richmond City Hall last year.

Now he's launched a change.org petition with more than 1,300 signatures urging the East Bay Regional Park District to make Juneteenth and observed holiday.

Each year Juneteenth, (a combination of the words June and 19th), is a commemoration of the abolition of slavery.

June 19th,1865 is the day Black Americans in Galveston, Texas finally learned of their freedom, two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

"The history of Black people in general is such a significant part of American history. It's only right for it to be held at the same significance as other holidays," said Allen.

The petition requests Juneteenth be observed as a paid holiday for park employees (like Fourth of July and 13 other holidays), provide free admission and permits for the day throughout the district's 73 parks, and calls for the creation of educational programming for the public surrounding the day.

In a statement, East Bay Regional Parks District Spokesperson David Mason said the following:

"The Park District is committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and received a request from its employee labor organization, AFSCME Local 2428, at the April 6, 2021 board meeting, for Juneteenth to be a paid District Holiday. Modifications to Park District paid holidays are addressed through the District's labor negotiations process which covers holidays, wages, and compensation. The Park District Board of Directors is currently in labor negotiations with AFSCME Local 2428."

From San Francisco to Richmond, the Bay Area has a rich tradition of locally organized Juneteenth celebrations.

James Taylor, a political science professor at the University of San Francisco, called San Francisco's annual celebration one of longest running and oldest Juneteenth celebrations in the country.

The day commemorating freedom is increasingly being recognized by local governments and businesses.

In 2020 Santa Clara County made Juneteenth a paid holiday for employees as more Silicon Valley companies like Twitter did the same following protest over the police killing of George Floyd.

On the campaign trail last September, former President Donald Trump floated the idea of making Juneteenth a national holiday.

"This is sort of a two edged sword," said Taylor.

Taylor is skeptical of Juneteenth being made a national holiday.

"We can actually take something as specific as Juneteenth that is very specifically about African American abolition, and it will turn into something more safe, something popular," he said.

Taylor stressed he's in support of a national recognition for the abolition of slavery, but fears the importance of the day could be diminished if the focus isn't kept local.

He points to Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy being flattened to his famous 'I Have a Dream Speech' and confusion over King's birthday, often conflated with the annual observance of his birthday on third Monday of January.

Allen hopes this is the first step to wider community-based celebrations and remembrances.

"Let's celebrate freedom for everyone," he said. "I want you to reflect - that's what I'm hoping people do."

East Bay Parks debuts newly renovated Del Valle visitor center Swimming, family camping also now open at some local EBRPD venues by Cierra Bailey / Pleasanton Weekly Uploaded: Mon, Jun 7, 2021, 4:50 pm Last month's ribbon- cutting ceremony marked the official opening of the facility and the public is now able to visit.

Del Valle Regional Park celebrated the completion of its newly renovated visitor center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, featuring guest speakers and small group tours of the new space in Livermore.

The newly renovated visitors center at Del Valle features several interactive activities, including a sand exhibit to build hills and valleys. (Photo courtesy of EBRPD) The visitor center is now home to state-of-the-art, interactive exhibits, according to the East Bay Regional Park District. The educational experiences offered in English and Spanish include an immersive game that allows players to control the water level of the lake and an oak tree exhibit that replicates the outdoors and displays models of wildlife commonly found in the area. Visitors can also measure their own wingspan against a bald eagle painted on the wall. The $1.9 million renovation project received federal, state and private funding, including $272,000 from the Regional Parks Foundation. EBRPD officials said that $520,000 of the funding went toward the exhibits.

The project was completed in April but had been in the works for more than two years with design beginning in September 2018 and construction starting in January 2020. However, due to COVID-19 shutdowns and multiple closures due to red flag fire warnings, completion of the construction was delayed.

EBRPD General Manager Sabrina Landreth and Board Director Ayn Wieskamp, whose representative ward includes Livermore, shared remarks during the ribbon-cutting event along with Zone 7 Water Agency Board President Olivia Sanwong.

Other guest speakers included supervising naturalist Ashley Grenier, interpretive and recreation services manager Ira Bletz, Livermore City Councilmember Brittni Kiick and Sayeh Ahmari, communications coordinator for Alameda County Supervisor David Haubert whose district includes Del Valle.

"Del Valle is an important part of our city and community as it's one of the major sources of water -- not just for this region but for the entire state of California -- so, caring for that facility is important beyond just recreation," Kiick told the Weekly.

"What's so great about the visitors center that they created is that it provides educational opportunities specifically about water and why water is so valuable to our ecosystem and our life here in the Tri-Valley but in really creative and engaging ways," she said, adding that her two children attended the event with her and were able to try some of the interactive activities.

The ceremony marked the official opening of the facility and the public is now able to visit. Masking and social distancing requirements are still in place.

Swimming and family camping are also open again at Del Valle. Officials said that capacity for swimming is determined by the number of cars let into the park per day but the number of occupants in each car is not counted.

As for family camping, visitors are required to bring in all of their own water and RV tanks must be full as construction is still underway on the park's water system. Group camping remains closed at this time.

Nearby Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area in Pleasanton will be closed for swimming through the end of the year due to low water levels.

An aspect of the town's capital improvement program, town staff say the Townwide Bicycle Master Plan is a guide for identifying and prioritizing bicycle infrastructure improvements and policies in Danville. During Tuesday's meeting, they will present about the plan and seek additional feedback from the council on how it can best be implemented in Danville.

"The Draft BMP provides a detailed listing of potential bicycle programs and policy that support and encourage a culture of bicycling in Danville, and equally, initiatives to enhance bicycle safety through the five 'Es' -- Engineering, Encouragement, Education, Enforcement and Evaluation," Danville transportation manager Andrew Dillard wrote in a staff report to the council.

The recommendations in the draft Bicycle Master Plan includes a wide range of projects that include installing high-visibility crosswalk and improved lighting on the Iron Horse Regional Trail, a bridge overcrossing at the Sycamore Valley Road/Camino Ramon intersection, and creating buffered bicycle lanes and high-visibility pavement markings on San Ramon Valley Boulevard (south), to name a few.

Other program proposals include the incorporation of bicycle parking and end-of-trip facilities at town facilities, the development of a "Bicycle Wayfinding Program," the deployment of a bicycle traffic enforcement program and the formation of a town- appointed Bicycle Advisory Committee

After Tuesday's review, town staff have recommended the final plan be presented to the council during its regular meeting on July 6.

The Danville Town Council's study session on the draft Townwide Bicycle Master Plan is set to be held virtually at 11 a.m. Tuesday (June 8).

Park It: Concord Navy site renamed for Justice Marshall New moniker also pays tribute to Black sailors killed in, or court-martialed after, Port Chicago disaster By NED MACKAY | East Bay Regional Park District PUBLISHED: June 6, 2021 at 5:00 a.m. | UPDATED: June 7, 2021 at 11:41 a.m. Jose Carlos Fajardo/staff archives

A bunker is seen previously at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station, which East Bay Regional Park District officials on June 1 renamed “Thurgood Marshall Regional Park — Home of the Port Chicago 50.” “Thurgood Marshall Regional Park — Home of the Port Chicago 50” is now the name of the new East Bay Regional Park District open space at the site of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station.

The park district’s Board of Directors at their June 1 meeting unanimously approved the name in honor of the young African American sailors serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II whot stood up to the military’s racially discriminatory policies of the day. It also recognizes Thurgood Marshall, who was an attorney for the NAACP at the time and supported the Black sailors during their court-martial proceedings. He later became the first Black member of the U.S. Supreme Court. This is the first regional park in Contra Costa County to be named after an African American. The U.S. military was segregated during World War II, and Black sailors who enlisted were often relegated to especially dangerous assignments such as loading munitions onto ships by hand. One such loading point was the Port Chicago Naval Magazine. Work was around the clock, often rushed, with few if any safety precautions. On July 17, 1944, two vessels loaded with ammunition at Port Chicago exploded with a force felt as far away as San Francisco, killing 320 men, mostly teenagers, and wounding 390 others. The explosion accounted for a quarter of all African American deaths during the war.

Surviving Black sailors were ordered to return to work loading munitions not long after the explosion. Many refused. Fifty of them were charged with mutiny and ultimately discharged dishonorably. The Port Chicago 50 wrote to Thurgood Marshall, as he was the NAACP’s lead counsel, requesting that he attend their trial. Marshall did so. Afterward he wrote articles and gave public speeches, charging that the Navy was “on trial for its whole vicious policy toward Negroes.” His campaign to expose racism in the trial of the Port Chicago 50 ultimately led to the desegregation of the military and was a precursor to the broader civil rights movement. President Harry Truman issued an executive order on July 26, 1948, that desegregated the U.S. armed forces. Despite years of advocacy by elected officials and community organizations, though, the Port Chicago 50 have never been exonerated.

The U.S. Navy and National Park Service officially transferred 2,500 acres of open space to the park district in 2019 after a two-decade process brought about by the decommissioning of the Concord Naval Weapons Station in the 1990s. After road improvements and other upgrades, district officials plan to open a portion of the expansive park south of Bailey Road within the next two to three years.

Juneteenth: In commemoration of Juneteenth, the park district is partnering with Outdoor Afro and local business leaders by waiving regional park entry fees on Juneteenth, June 19. Juneteenth is an annual recognition of the 250,000 enslaved Black Americans in Texas who learned of their freedom 2½ years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, outlawing slavery in Texas and the other Confederate states. According to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, enforcement of the proclamation depended on the arrival of Union Army troops. At the end of the Civil War there were few Union troops in Texas. On June 19, 1865, Union Army Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 in Galveston, proclaiming freedom from slavery in Texas. Juneteenth is now either a state or ceremonial holiday in all states except Hawaii and the Dakotas.

Outdoor Afro is a national nonprofit organization that encourages Black connections and leadership in nature. For Juneteenth, the organization is encouraging 50,000 people nationwide to reflect on what freedom means in America by spending 2½ hours in nature — in a nearby park, forest or beach — to recognize the 2½ years of freedom denied in the 1860s.

“We are thrilled that many local business leaders have joined this commemoration by providing their employees a day off work to reflect on what freedom means to them, and we are grateful for the park district offering this free day in the parks,” said Rue Mapp, founder and CEO of Outdoor Afro.

“The park district is honored to commemorate Juneteenth with this day in nature to remember those who lost 2½ years of their freedom, by eliminating park entry fees so that all who choose to may participate by spending a day in the East Bay regional parks,” said Dee Rosario, the district’s president of its Board of Directors.

The Regional Parks Foundation, the district’s nonprofit partner, is also partnering with Outdoor Afro by providing free family memberships to eliminate barriers to those in need so that they can enjoy the full benefits of nature and their regional parks all year long.

Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement Construction begins Monday, June 7 By Press Release 5 days ago Marsh Drive Bridge CONCORD, CA (June 2, 2021) – Contra Costa County Public Works starts construction of the Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement Project starting on Monday, June 7, 2021 through January 2023, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Work will occur between 7:00 am-4:00 pm, Monday-Friday, weather permitting. Work will take place on Marsh Drive, approximately 0.2 miles west of Solano Avenue. The area takes place in both unincorporated Contra Costa County and the City of Concord.

There will be restrictions to minimize impacts during commute hours. Because of this, the speed limit through the work area will be 25 mph during construction. Drivers should expect delays.

The project will include reconstruction of approximately 1,000 feet of Marsh Drive near the bridge. They will also install a retaining wall and make channel improvements. Work includes updating utilities including water, electric power, and communication facilities. Work includes replacing the existing bridge with a new concrete bridge in a slightly shifted alignment to the north in stages built to current standards.

The new bridge will include a 10-foot-wide separated bike and pedestrian facility.

Funding for this project is provided by Federal Highway Bridge Program Funds, Local Road Funds, Contra Costa County Flood Control District Zone 3B Funds, Pacific Gas & Electric Funds, Contra Costa Water District Funds, and East Bay Regional Park District Funds.

Additional project information, including construction schedule, is available at www.contracosta.ca.gov/marshdrivebridge

Milkweed planted in California to help monarch butterflies Published 2 days ago Monarch butterflies to return to California A conservation group is planting more than 30,000 milkweed plants in California in the hope of giving Western monarch butterflies new places to breed. SAN FRANCISCO - A conservation group is planting more than 30,000 milkweed plants in California in the hope of giving Western monarch butterflies new places to breed. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday that the River Partners group has joined with others and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife on the plantings along the Sacramento, Feather and Kern rivers.

The plants are seen as critical because the orange-and-black butterflies lay their eggs on them. Their caterpillars also eat them.

The butterflies head south from the Pacific Northwest to California each winter. Earlier this year, researchers said an annual winter count recorded fewer than 2,000 of the butterflies — a massive decline.

"There couldn’t be a more critical time to be doing this," said restoration biologist Francis Ulep of River Partners.

Scientists have said the butterflies are at critically low levels in western states because of destruction to their milkweed habitat along their migratory route as housing expands and use of pesticides and herbicides increases.

Park It: New group taking over farming at Fremont’s Ardenwood Dig Deep to continue program at East Bay parks site that had operated from mid-’80s till 2020 By NED MACKAY | East Bay Regional Park District PUBLISHED: May 30, 2021 at 5:00 a.m. | UPDATED: May 31, 2021 at 6:20 a.m.

Aric Crabb/staff archives

A farm worker plows a field with a tractor at the East Bay Regional Park District’s Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, where a new organization has been granted a five-year lease to engage in organic heritage farming. Dig Deep Farms, a nonprofit program of the Alameda County Deputy Sheriffs’ Activities League, has been granted a five-year lease to engage in organic heritage farming at the East Bay Regional Park District’s Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont. Dig Deep will continue a farming program at Ardenwood that had been operated by J.E. Perry Farms since the mid-1980s. Perry Farms’ tenure ended when the owner retired in 2020.

“The lease is an important step to continue the historical farming at Ardenwood and provide the public, especially youngsters, an opportunity to learn about the history of science and agriculture and what life was like in the late 1800s and early 1900s, said Ayn Wieskamp, who represents Fremont on the park district’s board of directors. “The farming operation provides the mechanical labor that produces all of the traditional heritage fruits and vegetables, all of which helps educate visitors about the history of agriculture in the region.”

Ardenwood is a 205-acre working farm owned by the city and operated by the park district. The original owner was George Patterson, a ’49er who found wealth in the farm fields instead of the gold fields. The property includes a beautiful Victorian mansion and elaborate gardens. Interpretive staff and volunteers guide visitors through the mansion, demonstrate historical farming practices and chores and bring to life the world of a prosperous, early 20th century farming estate. Ardenwood receives more than 120,000 visitors annually.

Dig Deep Farms uses traditional farming methods and has years of organic farming experience, says Alameda County Supervisor Richard Valle. Its methods minimize waste and maximize nutrient-rich soil and produce. Dig Deep is expected to begin site preparations in June, with the first crop harvest in late summer or early fall.

Ardenwood Historic Farm is now open, but entry is permitted only with advance registration. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. You can obtain more information and register up to two weeks in advance by phoning 888-327-2757, option 2 (from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays), or you can register online at ebparks.org. Each group should be from just one household, please. While you are at the website, by all means take the district’s 2021 Community Survey. Your responses help the park district to improve and expand its services. The survey is one of the series of displays at the top left of the website home page. It’s available in English, Spanish, Chinese and Korean. To fill it out, go to ebparks.org/Survey2021. Swimming: The swim beaches at Del Valle Regional Park south of Livermore are reopening as of Memorial Day weekend. This is the first time since 2019 that the lake is offering swimming. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the park is operating at 50% capacity with two caveats: please bring your own drinking water because the park’s water system is undergoing construction, and mosquito repellant is advisable since it’s mosquito season. Safety tips: It looks like we are in for another extremely hot, dry summer. So here are a few safety tips: • Be sure to carry plenty of water for yourself and your dog if you’ll have one with you. Once you’re away from the trailheads and picnic areas, there are no sources of potable water. • Protect yourself from the sun. Apply sunscreen and wear wide-brimmed headgear. Nothing ruins a pleasant outing faster than a sunburn. • Take along a park map. Maps can be downloaded from the park district website or obtained at trailhead information panels. Keep track of where you are so that if there’s a problem, you can tell the rangers via cell phone where to find you. • Smoking, including vaping, is prohibited in the regional parks. • Be extremely careful with fire. Barbecuing is allowed only in the established barbecue stands. Be sure that the coals are completely extinguished, then dispose of them only in the existing stand or pit, or the concrete receptacles designed for that purpose. Don’t dump coals in garbage cans or refuse bins. During extreme weather conditions, all open flames may be prohibited. • The emergency number in the regional parks is 911 or 510-881-1121. For nonemergency business, call 510-881-1833.

Mine exhibit opens at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve

Photo by Jake Menez Members of the East Bay Regional Park District Board tour the mine exhibit at Black Diamond Mines Regional Park.

Photo by Jake Menez Antioch Mayor Pro Tem Monica Wilson attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new interactive mine exhibit at Black Diamond Mines Regional Park. The crowd praised the spring weather, enjoying the sunshine and gentle breeze as they gathered to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for a new interactive exhibit at Black Diamond Mines Regional Park.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held this week for a new interactive exhibit at Black Diamond Mines Regional Park in Antioch.

The dedication, initially postponed due to COVID-19, was, by their own admission, the first time much of the park’s staff had seen each other in person in over a year and their excitement was not hidden. The immersive re-creation of an authentic 20th century coal mine has been several years in the making — so many that those involved cannot recall when the idea first came to them — and the ceremony featured speakers that included Antioch Mayor Pro Tem Monica Wilson as well as representatives who spoke on behalf of Assemblyman Tim Grayson and Congressman Mark DeSaulnier.

The project is the brainchild of former East Bay Regional Park District General Manager Bob Doyle, who retired from the post at the end of 2020, and is estimated to have cost roughly $1.3 million to complete. Much of the funding was achieved through donations from the Regional Parks Foundation and Marathon Petroleum Corp, in addition to a grant from the Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation, one of the East Bay’s major philanthropic institutions.

Doyle stressed the authenticity of the mine. “In 1977, we went underground with a small group of people and the exhibit is taken from the exact pictures that were taken at that time.” Doyle explained. “It was important to maintain the integrity of the mine work and recognize the hard, hard life that those early Contra Costa workers had here. Pretty amazing.”

The first thing guests of the exhibit will notice is the darkness that pervades the mine shaft. Black Diamond was active as a coal mine from 1865 until 1908 and the equipment used by the exhibit is period accurate, meaning the miners lit their way with headlamps made of candles that gave off a dim light. The next thing one might notice is that the simulated shaft, built inside of a real shaft from Black Diamond’s later use as a sand mine, is filled with the sounds of workers speaking and equipment chipping away in search of coal. Colin Coffey, park district board vice president, proudly pointed out that the audio used in the mines features voices that speak in both Welsch and Welsch- accented English, as would have been accurate to the period. The audio was recorded overseas to ensure the realism.

Black Diamond Mines Regional Park plays host to thousands of visitors each year, including an average of about 200 field trips annually. The inclusion of the immersive mine shaft attraction provides just one more way for visitors to have what Coffey calls “an authentic experience, rich in history.” When asked what he looks forward to most about the new exhibit, Coffey responded without hesitation, “The chance to share it with the public and really show more about this piece of Contra Costa’s legacy.”

Editorial: Congress must act on California wildfire prevention funding In California, wildfires burned 4.5 million acres in 2020, including five of the six biggest wildfires in state history By MERCURY NEWS & EAST BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARDS | PUBLISHED: May 26, 2021 at 5:30 a.m. | UPDATED: May 26, 2021 at 5:36 a.m.

If you want an idea of just how dysfunctional Congress is today, take a look at its record on wildfire prevention.

It’s inconceivable that Congress has largely failed to act on one of the West’s most pressing issues. California’s senators and representatives must not let another year pass without making a serious investment in wildfire prevention.

In 2020, nearly 26,000 wildfires burned 9.5 million acres in the Western states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. And 75% (7.1 million acres) of the acreage burned was on federal land.

In California, wildfires burned 4.5 million acres in 2020, including five of the six biggest wildfires in state history. The fires killed 31 people and destroyed 10,000 homes and buildings. The total economic toll on California was estimated at $10.5 billion, and that doesn’t include the $2.5 billion the state spent fighting the wildfires.

Yet Congress still hasn’t reached out a hand to help.

The federal government has a lot to answer for, given that it owns nearly 58% of California’s 33 million acres of forest. The state itself owns just 3%. The remainder is owned by private individuals, companies and Native American groups.

In 2018, the U.S. Forest Service reported that 99% of its forest lands were at a high risk of dangerous wildfires, but it was utilizing controlled burns to reduce the fire risk on only 1% of its lands. The inaction stems from disagreement on the best course of action.

President Trump didn’t help matters when, during his 2020 campaign, he said, “I see again the forest fires are starting. … you gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests — there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up. Maybe we’re just going to have to make them pay for it because they don’t listen to us.”

And while fire experts roundly dismissed Trump’s approach, Democrats were split on the merits of using prescribed fires to preemptively burn off excess vegetation that can fuel massive wildfires.

But four key senators — Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Maria Cantwell, D-Wash and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. — joined forces last week to introduce legislation that would increase the number of prescribed burns and give states more flexibility to regulate controlled burns in winter months.

The bill would give a total of $600 million to the Department of Agriculture and Department of Interior to reclassify federal firefighters as permanent workers, allowing them to work on prescribed fire projects. It also eliminates the overtime pay cap for federal firefighters that has made it difficult for federal agencies to hire a technically skilled, year-around workforce with the expertise to help prevent and extinguish wildfires.

The legislation, coupled with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s $2 billion proposal for additional helicopters, engines and firefighting equipment, is essential for reducing the threat of wildfires.

So far this year there have been 2,504 wildfires statewide, up from 1,534 wildfires in the same time period in 2020.

Congress and the California Legislature should pass their respective prevention measures to give the state a fighting chance to slow the spread of wildfires.
