Letter to Residents
City leaders are proud to present this year’s Annual Report to Concord residents
and business owners. The 2015-16 fiscal year was one of cautious celebration, as
the economy continued to recover and the City was able to start repairing some
of the infrastructure that had been neglected during the recession.

quality of life to a well-educated workforce and a convenient location served by
two BART stations.
Between the strengthening economy and the city’s marketing efforts, Concord
has seen a sharp decrease in office vacancies, and an increase in sales and hotel
occupancy tax. New projects are coming to town. For example, CenterCal
Properties chose to build the first new shopping center in the I-80 corridor in
over two decades in Concord. Called Veranda, the project will go up on the
30-acre site of the former Chevron campus on Diamond Boulevard with “chefdriven” restaurants, a Whole Foods 365, and other unique stores.
By the Numbers
■Largest city in Contra Costa County
including being first in total sales and sales tax collected, first in auto sales
■8th largest city in the Bay Area
and first in the number of jobs available in the City. The well-respected Conde’
■46th largest city in California
Nast Traveler magazine listed Concord as one of the ten best places in the world
■29 miles east of San Francisco
■27 parks and playfields

■8,091 licensed businesses
■4 million square feet of Class A
office space
■Ranked as one of America’s 50
greenest cities
■Ranked as one of the 100 best
Concord continues to lead Concord Costa County in a number of areas
to retire, and called Concord “a big little city, home to excellent health care
facilities, free community activities with a desirable proximity to San Francisco
and a relatively low crime rate.”
As Concord continues to recover from the recession, we want to thank residents
for their continued support of local businesses and City programs. We present
this Annual Report to the residents and business owners of Concord as part of
the City’s on-going commitment to transparency and accountability.
Respectfully,

A N N UA L R E P O R T
2015–16 Project Highlights
Concord Naval Weapons Station Redevelopment
The Concord City Council, sitting as the Local Reuse
Authority (LRA), selected Lennar as the Master Developer for
Phase 1 of the redevelopment of the 5,028-acre site. The first
phase is approximately 500 acres of the 2,248-acre Concord
Reuse Plan project area. The East Bay Regional Parks District
announced a planning effort for a world class regional park on
2,500 plus acres on the site, preserving it for open space, trails
and limited activity areas.
Rental Housing Workshop
With rents going up all over the Bay Area, the City
Council hosted a Rental Housing Workshop to hear
different perspectives on the issue. Regional experts,
a tenant organization and an association of apartment
owners were brought together to educate the City Council
and the public on this important topic.
Encouraging in-law units
The City launched a two-year pilot program to encourage
property owners to build small (640 sq. ft. or less), secondary
living units, sometimes called in-law units, on their property
to increase the amount of affordable housing available in
the community.
Another successful year at the Pavilion
The Concord Pavilion enjoyed another success season in
2015, and has hosted several sell-out shows in the 2016 season
going on now. As part of the City’s contract with Live Nation
to operate the facility, Concord residents have access to tickets
to Pavilion shows before they go on sale to the general public.
In addition, 2,000 complimentary tickets were distributed in
the community.
Crews work on Farm Bureau Road improvements
Farm Bureau Road gets an update
Sidewalks, curbs, gutters, ADA ramps, and a bicycle lane
were constructed on Farm Bureau Road between Willow Pass
Road and Wren Avenue. The improvements are one of several
Safe Routes to Schools projects that have been completed
around town. The rest of Farm Bureau will receive a similar
upgrade over the next several years.
ADA improvement project
Forty-eight sidewalk curb access ramps were constructed on
locations on Concord Boulevard, Arnold Industrial Way, Mohr
Lane at Del Rio Circle, Harrison Street at Broadway Avenue
and Michigan Boulevard at Washington Boulevard. Each year,
additional ramps are constructed as funding permits.
New Asphalt Zipper
Public Works acquired a new tool that boosts the department’s
capacity for repairing potholes. The Asphalt Zipper is a piece
of portable equipment that grinds the existing asphalt and
turns it into reusable material. This allows for compaction and
restoration of the base, making repairs much more efficient.
Food trucks roll into downtown
After a few weeks of testing, Off the Grid decided to bring
its selection of food trucks to Todos Santos Plaza on Monday
evenings from 5 to 9 p.m. This new downtown event is
proving popular with those looking to sample fare from
around the world from the rotating selection of food trucks.
Residential street improvements
Pavement maintenance improvements were made to 78
residential streets. The project included slurry or cape seal overlay
treatments and covered approximately 231,744 square yards
of pavement.

Fall 2016
Economic Development Spotlight
As the county’s job center, Concord is home to one of every
eight jobs in Contra Costa County, and the City recently
attracted several more significant companies that were looking
to relocate.
Leading financial institution Wells Fargo Bank has signed
a lease that will bring approximately 1,100 employees to
the downtown when it occupies 285,000 square feet of
office space at Swift Plaza in early- to mid-2017. Swift
Plaza is the former Bank of America campus near the
downtown BART station. In north Concord, home and
business security company Bay Alarm will establish its
new headquarters in the former Heald Business College
campus on Commercial Circle.
Some of Concord’s competitive advantages that helped
to attract these types of companies include mass transit
accessibility with two BART stations, an educated workforce,
a pro-business environment and lower lease rates compared
to other Bay Area cities. In fact, Concord’s Class A office
rates range from $2.25 to $3.00 per square foot per month
compared to San Francisco’s Class A office rates, which run
up to $6.50 per square foot per month.
The City’s unemployment rate has been steadily
decreasing over the past year. Concord registered a 4.3 percent
unemployment rate for May 2016 compared to 5.0 percent
only six months prior. At just 4.3 percent, Concord is
outperforming the state and the nation, which during the
same period registered unemployment rates of 4.7 percent
and 5.5 percent, respectively.
Downtown Concord
Downtown Concord attracted more visitors than last
year thanks to the popularity of its trendy micro-breweries,
the family-friendly Music & Market series and an eclectic
global dining scene that is still growing as five more dining
options are in the process of locating in the downtown.
Four of the five new establishments will be occupying
space in Salvio Pacheco Square, including an Asian fusion
restaurant, a Peruvian restaurant, a Poke restaurant and an
Asian tea house. The fifth newcomer is craft brewery Hop
Heavy Brewing Co., which is currently under construction
just a block away on Pacheco St.
Destination for retail and dining
Concord added to its reputation as a regional destination for
retail and dining, generating more retail sales than any other city
in Contra Costa County. In 2015, Concord generated nearly $3.27
billion in taxable sales, an increase of about 8.6 percent over 2014.
One of the most exciting announcements in the past year
concerns the redevelopment of the former 30-acre Chevron
campus on Diamond Boulevard. Look for construction
starting soon on Veranda, a proposed 375,000-square foot
lifestyle center that has already signed a lease with Whole
Foods 365. Veranda is the first new shopping center to open on
the I-80 corridor in over two decades and reinforces Concord’s
reputation as a regional shopping destination.
Several new
restaurants
have opened
at the Willows
Shopping Center
The close of 2015 and beginning of 2016 was been a busy
time for restaurant openings in Concord. At The Willows
Shopping Center on Diamond Boulevard, Eureka! Restaurant,
Ike’s Place and Rick’s Rather Rich Ice Cream opened near the
end of 2015; the first-ever Bay Area location of Dos Coyotes
Border Café will open later this year.
A new Buffalo Wild Wings opened on the former Marie
Callender’s site on Diamond Boulevard, and just down the
road at the former Peppermill site – now known as Meridian
Square – four more restaurants recently opened: Noodles &
Company, Blaze Pizza, Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches
and The Habit Burger Grill.
In addition, Sunvalley Shopping Center completed its
23,000-square foot food court with seating for 525 people
and will soon be home to Round 1 offering bowling, karaoke,
arcade games, billiards, darts, ping pong and food.
In other restaurant news, the former Coco’s Bakery
Restaurant on Treat Boulevard is being converted to an
Original Mel’s Diner.

Budget Overview
Shift to two-year budgeting
The City Council passed a balanced budget in June, in time
for the start of the City’s fiscal year on July 1. Last year, the City
Council approved a plan to transition from one-year Operating
and Capital budgets to two-year budgets. Biennial budgeting
allows the City Council and residents to better understand
the City’s budgeting process by concentrating on either the
Operating Budget or the Capital Budget each year. The new
process also makes more efficient use of staff time. In June
2015, the Council adopted the 2015-2017 Operating budget and
a one-year Capital budget. This year, the Council adopted a twoyear Capital budget and updated the 2015-17 Operating budget.
Measure Q funding
During the recession, Concord voters approved Measure
Q, a half-cent use and transaction tax that provides revenue
to the City to protect and maintain Concord’s city services,
including 911 emergency response times, police officers, gang

prevention, crime investigation, neighborhood police patrols,
city streets and pothole repair, senior services and nutrition
programs, youth and teen programs, and other general city
services. Measure Q was originally passed by the voters in
2010 with an extension of the measure in 2014, which passed
overwhelmingly with 76 percent of the vote. Measure Q
brings in approximately $12 to $13 million each year and is
appropriated to both the Operating and Capital budgets.
The Operating budget, or the part of the budget that pays
for day-to-day operations, includes the General Fund. The
FY 2015-16 General Fund budget of $94 million included $7.8
million in Measure Q dollars. The FY 2016-17 General Fund
budget of $89.4 million includes $7.5 million in Measure Q
dollars and reduces the general fund’s reliance on Measure Q
by $300,000. These additional funds have made it possible
for the City to avoid reductions in essential services and to
replenish its reserve, which has now returned to 30 percent.
However, the City Council realizes that the measure sunsets
in 2025 and has directed staff to reduce reliance on Measure
Q funds over the next nine years.
The two-year Capital budget for 2016-2018 allocated $32.4
million in funding for projects that maintain or improve the
City’s infrastructure (roads, parks, sewer, facilities, etc.).
Measure Q funds make up 16 percent of that budget, or $5
million. In addition, the City Council approved a Lease
Revenue Financing Agreement (LRFA) in 2015 to provide
an immediate $22.4 million surge of funding over five years
for badly needed road repair projects. Payments on this loan
are made from Measure Q revenue. The Capital budget also
includes $6.7 million of these dollars or 21 percent of the two
year budget. In total, Measure Q will provide approximately
36 percent of funds for capital projects.
Fall 2016
The City’s Capital budget relies on a wide array of sources
to support the nearly 100 on-going and new Capital projects
that have been approved to go forward over the next two years.
In addition to the Measure Q funds discussed in the preceding
section, Capital projects can be funded by the General Fund,
Enterprise Funds (such as sewer and stormwater), grant funds,
and internal service funds (monies set aside over time for
replacement of City equipment). Many funds are dedicated to
one type of project and may not be spent in other areas.
The City Council relies on a detailed evaluation criteria to
decide which projects should be approved including health
and safety needs, regulatory compliance, cost reduction,
improved efficiency, promotion of economic development,
implementation of the City’s Complete Streets Plan, Climate
Action Plan or General Plan, and projects that support one
or more of the City Council’s own initiatives (Public Safety,
Infrastructure Maintenance, Long Term Financial Stability,
Customer Service, Quality of Life, Economic Development,
Organizational Strength and Employee Success).

2015–16 Project Highlights (continued)
Concord Connect cell phone app launched
The City launched a new cell phone app called Concord
Connect that makes it easy to submit non-emergency requests
for service. The new app replaced the old Civic Hero app.
Residents can report issues such as graffiti, potholes, streetlight outages and much more. The app sends the service request
directly to the appropriate City department and tracks the status.
New ways to connect with Concord Police
Attendees at a bike planning workshop
Bike and pedestrian plan moves forward
Residents participated in several community workshops to
create the City’s Bicycle, Pedestrian and Safe Routes to Transit
Plan. Bicycle and pedestrian planning experts and City staff heard
from residents and incorporated their comments into the plan.
Tennis courts return with a twist
Several tennis courts that have been out of commission
for years due to the recession are now back in service. Three
tennis courts at Concord Community Park and eight courts at
Willow Pass Park were resurfaced. As part of this project, four
tennis courts at Willow Pass Park were converted to 14 pickle
ball courts, reflecting the popularity of this new sport.
Community center celebrates re-opening
Centre Concord, the City’s popular community center at
5298 Clayton Rd., received a much-needed renovation. The
ballroom was refurbished with new moveable walls and
covering, and extensive upgrades were made to the restrooms,
lobby and parking lot to improve ADA accessibility.
New arches and lights for Todos Santos Plaza
Todos Santos Plaza, Concord’s favorite family-friendly
meeting place, received an upgrade with the installation of
two new entry arches and the replacement of the lights in the
trees that encircle the plaza. The arches welcome visitors on
the Willow Pass Road side of the plaza and the new twinkle
lights announce the plaza as a lively and inviting place to enjoy
the numerous events that take place there. New lights were
also installed in trees between Mt. Diablo Street and Galindo
Street, leading the way to the plaza.

Fall 2016
The Concord Police Department launched Facebook
(ConcordPolice) and Twitter (@concordpd) accounts to share
news and information with the public. The social media sites
provide safety tips and announcements well as new Street
Smart videos, an updated version of the former cable TV
program by the same name.
Detroit Avenue pedestrian and bicycle project
Improvements on Detroit Avenue between Monument
Boulevard and Clayton Road included sidewalk and
accessibility improvements, buffered bike lanes, installation
of street lighting and pavement replacement, including green
asphalt for the bike lanes.
Earth Day celebration
The City sponsored its first Earth Day celebration on
Saturday, April 23 at Newhall Community Park. The event
included tree plantings, path restoration, creek clean-up, trash
pick-up and the planting of a butterfly garden.
Corridors plan connects BART and downtown
Residents and staff worked to create a Corridors Streetscape
Plan for three downtown street corridors: Oak Street, Grant
Street (from Oak Street to Salvio Street) and Salvio Street (from
Grant Street to Broadway). The project will improve connections
for pedestrians and bicyclists between the Concord BART
station and the downtown area around Todos Santos Plaza.
Concord library gets bike locker
A new bike locker was installed at the Concord Library,
2900 Salvio St. The locker holds four bikes at a time, and
makes it convenient for residents to take a bike ride to the
library instead of driving the car.

I, the undersigned, wish to participate in one or more activities (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Activity”) conducted in collaboration
with the City of Concord’s Parks & Recreation Department. I am aware that serious accidents and injuries occasionally occur during recreational
pursuits such as the Activity. In consideration of my participation in the Activity, I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks arising therefrom,
and on behalf of myself, my heirs and assignees release the City of Concord, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all
claims, liens, damages, lawsuits, or liability for property damage, injury or death, resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with my
participation in the Activity.
I agree and acknowledge that this Waiver and Release From Liability/Assumption of Risk shall apply even in the event that I suffer death,
personal injury, or property damage as the result of passive or active negligence on the part of the City of Concord, its officers, agents, employees,
or volunteers of the City (with the exception of sole, active negligence, or willful misconduct). In the event that the individual participating in the
Activity is a minor, I certify that I am his/her parent or legal guardian and I give my permission for him/her to participate in the Activity. I understand
my signature is a legal and binding signature and will be considered original if received by fax.

of Concord to photograph or video me (or the minor on whose behalf I am signing this waiver), and to use such photographs/video footage in
brochures, newspapers, social media, or other forms of media describing City of Concord activities. I agree to advise the City of Concord Parks
& Recreation Department in writing if I do not agree to the forgoing.
