New Dougherty Road in San Ramon to Open Next Month
Stoneleaf Road will be Closed to Through Traffic
|
 The new Dougherty Road in San Ramon is expected to be open to traffic on August 12th. The new road will extend from the existing Dougherty Road, at Crow Canyon, all the way to the south end of Bollinger Canyon Road (near San Ramon's new Rancho Park and Community Center). The opening date was requested by the City of San Ramon to accommodate traffic/accessibility for the new Bella Vista elementary school (to open August 15th).
The "Old" Dougherty Road, which connects Stoneleaf Road to the south end of Bollinger Canyon Road will be closed and converted to a pedestrian/bicycle trail access road.
The closure of old Dougherty road to automobiles and its use for bicycles and pedestrians was one of the original conditions for approving the development of the homes in Windemere and the Dougherty Valley. It was always planned to be a great recreational amenity for the community and closed to cars once the new Dougherty road was completed.
The tentative closure date is August 29th. It will reopen as a trail in early 2017.

Disaster Preparedness
Ready Where You Are: Disaster Kit Storage
|
You never know where you'll be when an emergency occurs, so it's a good idea to be ready wherever you are. That means preparing supplies for your home, work, and vehicle.
The FEMA Ready Campaign has information about creating a disaster supply kit for each location.
For your home:
- Create a kit containing enough food, water, and supplies to last at least three days; and
- Keep the kit in a designated place and make sure family members know where it is.
For your work:
- Be prepared to shelter in place for at least 24 hours;
- Include food, water, and other necessities like medicines in your kit. Keep the kit in one container and be ready to grab and go; and
- Have comfortable walking shoes in case an evacuation requires walking long distances.
For your vehicle:
- Include jumper cables, flashlights, clothing, and a first aid kit; and
- Consider having a fully charged cell phone and phone charger, flares, baby formula, and diapers if you have a small child.

Supervisors Recognize San Ramon Resident Bob Fracolli For
His Years of Service To The Community
|
At the June 14th Board of Supervisors meeting, Bob Fracolli was recognized and honored for his work in assisting the Public Works Department with several of their community programs. Bob adopted Norris Canyon Road in unincorporated Contra Costa, under the Contra Costa County's Adopt-a-Road Program and by himself, cleaned this stretch of road 65 times between 2011 and 2016. He removed approximately 25 cubic yards of garbage.
Bob has been an invaluable source of information for many years to the Public Works Department. He will be sorely missed, but he has convinced other community members to keep up his good work.

New San Ramon Waste & Recycling Services Website
|
 T
he City of San Ramon and Waste Management of Alameda County, Inc. have launched a new website (click here to visit) that contains information on all of the recycling and solid waste services available to San Ramon customers.
Waste Management and the City are working together to increase recycling participation and reduce the amount of materials headed to the landfill.
By practicing the 4Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rot - you can control the amount of waste generated.
Reduce:
Buy in bulk to avoid individual packages or products with excessive packaging. Whatever you don't recycle or reuse is trash.
Reuse:
Avoid the use of disposable or single-use utensils, napkins, paper towels, and other disposable products. Buy durable items that can be reused over and over again.
Recycle:
Close the loop on recycling and buy products made with recycled materials. Items identified as containing "post-consumer" materials are made from things you tossed in your recycling cart or bin!
Rot:
Americans throw away 44 percent of yard trimmings and over 90 percent of our food scraps. Help close the loop on organics by placing your food scraps and yard trimming in your green cart to become soil and plant nourishing compost. If you're interested in composting at home, the City of San Ramon has many resources. Please visit www.SanRamon.wm.com for additional information.

It's summertime, and getting copies of documents is easy.
Contra Costa residents soon won't have to rush to purchase copies of important documents

open late one day a week during the summer months.
From June 2nd through September 29th, the County Clerk-Recorder's office will be open late
on Thursday evenings.
The office will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 555 Escobar Street in Martinez.

The Extended Hours program debuted last August and proved to be very popular during its
two month run. Based on its popularity, the Clerk-Recorder staff decided to continue the
program for a longer period of time.

daylight. 248 customers were helped during the 8 weeks of extended hours last August and
September, an average of 31 per evening.

How Contra Costa County is Working to
Eradicate Homelessness
|
 My office recently received inquiries about a small homeless encampment that had developed
in Alamo under
a bridge near Stone Valley Road. When we receive such a call Law Enforcement, the County's Homeless Program, and our Public Works Department look at the safety of both the community and the homeless individuals.
In this instance, contact was made by one of our Alamo Sheriff Deputies with those who were living there, services were offered, and all but one decided to leave. Ultimately, after helping the remaining individual remove his personal belongings, the Deputy and staff from our Public Works Department cleaned up the area under the bridge. The man who hadn't wanted to leave was previously associated with the Alamo community and someone from Alamo came to pick him up.
There are a myriad reasons why a person becomes homeless, including a lack of affordable housing, loss of a job, domestic violence,
divorce
sickness, mental illness, and
substance abuse
. Often times people will return to the community where they were raised, where they still have family and friends, and where they feel safe. Although not always seen, they are generally homeless living in every community in Contra Costa, including Lamorinda and San Ramon Valley cities.
Contra Costa County takes the issue of homelessness very seriously. Our Homeless Program's mission is to ensure an integrated system of care, from prevention through intervention, for homeless individuals and families within our community. We strive to accomplish this through the development of policies and practices, community involvement, advocacy, and the coordination of services that respect human dignity, strengthen partnerships, and maximize resources. To learn more about the County's program click here.
Each January, Contra Costa
County conducts a comprehensive point-in time count of families and individuals experiencing homelessness. The Annual Point In Time (PIT) Count is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to learn about homeless individuals and
households across the country. The results help government and non-profit agencies better understand needs and allocate resources to serve those affected.
The point in time count tallies information about people sleeping in emergency shelters and transitional housing as well as people sleeping in cars, in abandoned properties, or in other places not meant for human habitation. It provides a one-day snapshot of homelessness and includes data about families, youth, chronically homeless, and veterans, as well as demographic data about gender, ethnicity, and race.
As of January 27, 2016, there were 3,500 individuals identified as homeless or at risk of homelessness in Contra Costa County through the point-in-time count. Slightly less than half (1,730) of these individuals were literally homeless and 1,770 were at risk of homelessness. Among the literally homeless, there were 620 people in shelters and another 1,110 were sleeping on the streets. Youth under the age of 18 made up 11% of the homeless population and two-thirds of those youth were residing in shelters the night of the count. Two-thirds of the population is male.
Of the 3,500 homeless or imminently at-risk individuals, approximately 34% have been identified as having mental health issues. 27% have substance abuse issues. The County offers a variety of mental health services for those needing assistance.
Overall, there has been a 28% decrease in the number of people that are homeless or at risk of homelessness since 2011, and a 26% decrease in literally homeless. Additionally, over the past five years there has been a decrease in the number of unsheltered individuals identified through the point-in-time count. Since 2011 there has been a 28% decrease in the number of people sleeping outside across the county. Central County has experienced 70% fewer people sleeping outside and West County had 60% fewer since 2011. East County, though, has had a 30% increase.
One of the ways the County is bringing the community together to eradicate homelessness is through the Contra Costa Continuum of Care (CoC). It is a local planning body that organizes and delivers housing and
support services for homeless individuals across the county. The CoC is comprised of service providers, members of the faith community, businesses, funders, education systems, as well as law enforcement, all working in partnership with consumers to find stable housing.
The CoC is overseen by our Contra Costa Council on Homelessness, which is appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Council meets monthly on the first Thursday of the month from 2-3:30 p.m. More information about both the Contra Costa Council on Homelessness and the Continuum of Care can be found by
clicking here
.
What can you do to help eradicate homelessness? Volunteer! One Alamo neighborhood does something as simple as getting together once a month to prepare and serve a meal to those living in the County's Adult shelter. For volunteer opportunities at our youth shelters,
click here to email.
For volunteer opportunities at our adult shelters,
click here to email
; and if you are interested in sitting on the Continuum of Care advisory board, please email by clicking here.
There are also many non-profits in our community that could use your volunteer efforts and financial support in helping fight homelessness. Some of our County partners include: Anka Behavioral Health, GRIP, Contra Costa Interfaith Housing, Rubicon, Shelter, Inc., STAND!, Trinity Center, and Winter Nights Shelter.
Finally, if
someone you know is homeless and needs services please call
211
or Contra Costa County's 24-hour homeless hotline
(800-808-6444)
to gain access to vital services.
My office is here to serve the residents of Contra Costa County District 2, which includes San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Walnut Creek, Saranap, Parkmead, Lafayette, Moraga, Canyon and Orinda. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can provide you with additional information on this topic or on other County issues. You can email me by clicking here or call our office at 925-957-8860.

Keeping Your Neighborhood Safe This Summer
|
School is out, graduations are over, and it's time for summer travel. A recent TripAdvisor survey found that 88 percent of U.S. respondents are planning to vacation this summer. This information is not lost on the criminals who are looking for easy prey. Whether you have longstanding travel plans, a last minute road trip in mind, or just sticking around town this summer, you should think about keeping your home and neighborhood safe while you are away.
Here are s
everal important safety practices our local law enforcement recommends to keep your home and neighborhood safe this summer and throughout the year:
- Don't advertise that you're away from home - thieves look for clues like outdoor lights burning 24 hours a day, piled up newspapers, mail, or advertising fliers hanging on door knobs. Use an inexpensive light timer when you are away, and either put "on hold" or ask a neighbor or friend to pick up your mail and newspapers.
- If you go out for the day or evening turn on a radio, television or lights so the house or apartment appears to be occupied.
- Burglars know to look for the hidden door key near the front entrance. DO NOT hide spare keys under rocks, in flowerpots, under doormats, or above door ledges. Instead, give the spare key to a trusted neighbor.
- Have packages sent to your work address if possible so they are not sitting all day on your porch unattended.
- Consider purchasing a locking mailbox. These devices protect packages and make it more difficult for thieves to steal mail that may contain personally identifiable information and account numbers.
- Do not place outgoing mail in your mailbox. Criminals may steal it. Consider dropping your mail at the local post office.
- Keep your garage door closed, even in the middle of the day. This will decrease the chances of a thief stealing items from inside your garage.
- Don't post summer travel plans or photos from your fabulous vacation on social media until you get home, as this may alert more than just your friends to your extended absence.
- Install motion and dawn-to-dusk lighting around your home.
- Ask a trusted neighbor to watch your house while you are away and arrange for someone to check your residence to ensure there are no problems. Local law enforcement agencies provide vacation checks while residents are away. Below is the contact information to schedule a vacation well-check:
*Alamo - Call 24-hour dispatch at (925) 646-2441
*Blackhawk - Call 24-hour dispatch at (925) 646-2441
*
Danville - submit request on-line or call (925) 314-3700
*San Ramon - (925) 973-2700
Finally, watch out for your neighbors when they're not home. It is important to report any suspicious activities. Our local police and sheriff deputies would much rather follow up on an incident that turns out to be harmless than respond after a crime has been committed.
