Train-vehicle crash reviewed Antioch woman among those who died

Three people died, including an Antioch woman, and two others sustained major injuries when an Amtrak train hit a passenger vehicle at a private crossing on Orwood Road in Brentwood on June 26.

BRENTWOOD Three people died and two others, including a child, were injured when an Amtrak train hit a passenger vehicle at a private crossing on Orwood Road in Brentwood last Sunday afternoon, an East Contra Costa Fire Protection District spokesperson said. An Amtrak official on the scene said the train, carrying 80 passengers, was northbound when it collided with the vehicle at the 3000 block of Orwood Road at about 1 p.m. Three people in the vehicle were pronounced dead on the

scene, and two others in the vehicle, including a child, were transported to John Muir Medical Center with major injuries, said Fire Marshal Steve Aubert. No injuries were reported on the

train, according to an Amtrak official on the scene. The Contra Costa County Coroner identified the dead as Julia Mondragon, 41, of Dixon, Maria Nieves, 72, of Dixon,

and Mercedes Regalado, 51, of Antioch. As of June 28, there was no update on the injured. see Crash page 22

Fourth of July Parade – with a difference

by Melissa van Ruiten Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD The city’s annual Fourth of July parade returns this year with one big difference over last year’s event – no reservations are needed. Last year’s event required parade-goers to make a reservation and maintain social dis-

tancing, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Reservations are not required this year, but the city will be following all remaining state, county and local COVID guidelines, according to organizers. Also returning this year will be the ever-popular Children’s Parade, which precedes the main parade. Kids of all ages are invited to decorate bicycles, wagons and strollers, and no preregistration is required. “The children’s parade is fun, because it gives the children in the community an opportunity to be in a parade and a part of see Parade page 22

County reaffirms access to reproductive health care by Jake Menez Staff Writer

REGIONAL Anyone trying to get in touch with Planned Parenthood in Antioch following the Supreme Court’s June 24 reversal of Roe vs. Wade may have found it difficult to do so. On June 27 — three days after the decision — an automated message on the phone advised that wait times would be over an hour long to speak to a representative with nearly 100 callers already queued up. Following the decision by the high court to overturn the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that granted a woman’s right to choose whether or not to have an abortion, Gov. Gavin Newsom and Contra Costa County Supervisor Diane Burgis released statements clarifying that access to reproductive care would remain unchanged locally. “Contra Costa Health (CCH) today reaffirms its commitment to reproductive health rights,” the June 24 statement from Burgis’ office said. “In Contra Costa County, everyone will continue to have the same access to reproductive health care as they did before this decision. Supportive, confidential services are and will remain widely available in the county.” The county’s response is in line with that from state officials, such as Newsom, who signed Assembly Bill 1666 on June 24 to see Health page 22

Police seeking shooting suspect OAKLEY Police are searching for a 26-yearold Stockton man suspected of shooting another man on Carol Lane in Oakley on Saturday night, June 25. Oakley police say Christopher James Williams shot a man after the man showed up and began arguing with Williams about visiting a woman at her apartment on Carol Lane in Oakley at about 9:40 p.m. The unidentified man suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and is currently in critical condition at a local hospital, police said on June 26. Police say the female occupant of the apartment transported Williams out of the area before police arrived on the scene.

Art on display

No update on the victim was available. Williams is a parolee with an arrest warrant for a previous parole violation, police said. He is wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, use of a firearm during the commission of a crime, possession of a firearm by a parolee, an additional parole violation and his outstanding warrant, according to police. The firearm used in this incident was not recovered, and Williams is considered armed, police said. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Oakley Police Department at 925-625-8855.

A host of local artists’ work is on display on vinyl banners in downtown Brentwood during the annual Banner Up! program. The banners will be on display until September, when they are taken down and auctioned off for sale at a benefit gala. All proceeds will be split between the artists and local veterans, according to program organizers. The program is sponsored by City of Brentwood, Brentwood Arts Commission and Art Guild of the Delta.

Oakley man arrested after crash: DUI suspected A 25-year-old Oakley man was arrested for suspected felony DUI, possession of a loaded handgun, and possession of drugs for sale after a vehicle crash that seriously injured a woman in Oakley on Saturday night, June 25. Oakley police say they found Malcolm Shephard to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol upon arriving at the scene of the two vehicle-crash on Main Street at Big

Break Road at about 8:50 p.m. Police also discovered a loaded Glock handgun and approximately 250 Oxycontin 30-milligram pills in a plastic bag in Shephard’s vehicle, according to authorities. The female driver of the second vehicle involved in the crash was in critical, but stable condition, on June 26 after being airlifted to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek moments after the crash, police said.

Health officials: Be aware of monkeypox More skin-to-skin contact with summer gatherings As summer begins with increased travel and major events and gatherings, Bay Area health officials urge people to protect themselves against the monkeypox virus. This virus spreads through prolonged skinto-skin contact and bodily fluids, such as through crowded settings or sexual contact. The message from the nine Bay Area county health departments comes as cases – which appear on individuals as distinctive rashes and sores that can look like blisters or pimples – continue to emerge in the Bay Area, the nation and the globe. Monkeypox is not new, but this is the first time this virus has spread in so many countries at once, officials said in a press release. There are no reported cases in Contra Costa County, according to Will Harper, community and media relations manager of the county health department. As of June 22, several cases have been confirmed in neighboring Bay Area counties, 40 confirmed cases in California and single-digit cases in New York, Florida, Colorado, Illinois, and Utah, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most cases of monkeypox resolve on their own, although they can be serious, health officials said. The illness often

begins with flu-like symptoms before the emergence of a rash and may last for 2 to 4 weeks. A post-exposure vaccination is available through healthcare providers. Unlike COVID-19, which spreads easily through the air, the risk of monkeypox to the general public is low unless they engage in higher-risk behaviors. Having sex with multiple sex partners can increase a person’s risk of becoming infected when monkeypox is spreading in the community, health officials said. Be aware of crowded, indoor spaces where people have close skin-to-skin contact, sex, kissing, and close breathing. The virus can also be spread through shared clothing or bedding. Many of the cases currently appearing are among higher risk groups, including gay and bisexual men, transgender people, and men who have sex with men. Bay Area health officials urge the me-

dia, government officials, and people in general to avoid stigmatizing a particular group or person for monkeypox, but rather support those at highest risk and keep others from becoming complacent. “Monkeypox is not common in the Bay Area,” said Dr. Ori Tzvieli, Contra Costa County health officer. “By being mindful now about how to protect ourselves and each other, we can keep it that way. We are working closely with the state, neighboring counties and our community healthcare providers to keep the public informed about how to stay safe and what to do if they have symptoms or believe they may have been exposed.” There are other contagious illnesses that can cause rash or skin lesions. For example, syphilis and herpes are much more common than monkeypox, and can look similar, and should be treated too, health officials said.

Celebrating

our 1st Amendment Freedom of The Press

How to protect yourself: • Cover exposed skin in dense, indoor crowds • Don’t share bedding or clothing with others when possible • Before having close, physical contact with others, talk to your partners about their health and any recent rashes or sores • Stay aware if traveling to countries where there are outbreaks

How to protect others If you have symptoms particularly a rash consistent with monkeypox, or if you have been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with monkeypox: • Stay home if you are feeling sick • Contact a health care provider as soon as possible for an evaluation • Avoid skin-to-skin, or close contact with others, including sexual contact, until a medical evaluation has been completed • Inform sex partners about any symptoms you are experiencing • Cover the rash with clean, dry, loosefitting clothing • Wear a well-fitted mask • If you are contacted by public health officials, answer their confidential questions to help protect others who may have been exposed

In addition to hourly pay, delivery as-

An attendee of All N One Foundation’s Unity in the Community event accepts a loaf of bread. The event offered free community services and resources.

Providing unity in the community A large crowd turned out at the Ambrose Park and Recreation District in Bay Point last weekend for the Bay Point All N One Foundation’s Unity in the Community event, which offered free community services and resources. Several East County organizations were on hand to offer services, yoga, wellness activities, free food and music. Steve Harrell, general store director of the White Pony Express, said the organization was on hand to celebrate fathers by giving

away free clothing, food and toiletries to men in need. White Pony Express aims to eliminate hunger and poverty, according to its website. Cynthia Garrett, emcee for the event, said it was “wonderful.” “We have not had this event in two years, and it was so great to be back for the community to get resources, free food and love,” she said.

OBITUARIES Patricia Anne Long

September 7, 1937 - June 6, 2022 Patricia Anne Long of B re n t wo o d passed away on June 6, 2022. Pat was born in Glendale, Arizona on September 7, 1937. She grew up and attended Glendale schools. After graduation from Glendale Union High School, Pat attended and graduated from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona. It was there that she met a handsome Army veteran, Bill Long, who was instantly smitten with Pat. In the summer of 1958, Pat and Bill married, and moved to Bill’s hometown of Needles, California. Pat was an English teacher and counselor at Needles High School

for over 30 years. She shared her love of piano and organ with the congregants of the Needles United Methodist Church, and played for many weddings and other events in the community. In retirement, she and Bill moved back to the cooler temperatures of Flagstaff where they enjoyed spending time with friends, playing tennis, and attending Northern Arizona University sporting events. After residing there for 12 years, the desire to be close to their three grandkids beckoned, and they moved to Brentwood, California. In Brentwood, Pat fulfilled her love of music by singing tenor in the Summerset Singers and Songsters. She attended church and Bible study at Golden Hills Community Church. Always a lover of the English language, Pat the wordsmith was an avid fan of the daily crossword puzzle, Words with Friends, the Jum-

ble, and, more recently, Wordle! Pat was happiest when sharing time with family, and will be greatly missed by her two brothers, Royce Moore (MaryBeth) of Escondido; and Lewie Moore, of Antioch; daughter Kathy of Tucson, Arizona; daughter Karen and son-inlaw Roger Strauss, of Brentwood; grandson Will, and Lauren Strauss of Oceanside; granddaughter Abbey Strauss of Brentwood; grandson Zach and Alexandra Strauss, of Corpus Christi, Texas; great-grandson Benjamin Strauss; and greatgranddaughter Charlotte Strauss. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, July 16, at 11 a.m. at Golden Hills Community Church, 2401 Shady Willow Lane, in Brentwood. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Heart Association, heart.org; or the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, michaeljfox.org.

Delta Protection panel gets new leader Blodgett to direct state agency starting Aug. 8 The Delta Protection Commission, a California state agency working to protect and enhance agriculture, recreation, cultural and natural resources of the Delta, announced that Bruce Blodgett of Elk Grove has been hired as executive director effective Aug. 8. He replaces Erik Vink, who is retiring effective in early August.

The Delta Protection Commission is a 15-member body formed in 1992 legislation to regulate local government land use in the Delta region. Reformulated in 2009 legislation to represent the Delta region in the state’s ongoing work to accomplish the co-equal goals of water supply reliability and Delta ecosystem restoration, the Commission works to ensure the Delta is protected and enhanced, as required by state law. The commission is composed primarily of local agency officials, including county supervisors, city council members, and reclamation district trustees, as well as state agency representatives.

Blodgett has served as executive director of San Joaquin Farm Bureau since 2005. He has managed the organization’s efforts to represent San Joaquin County agriculturalists and reported to a 53-member board of directors. “I’m excited for the opportunity to represent the people who live, work and recreate in the Delta region, from our farmers to our boaters,” Blodgett said. “As the meeting place of our state’s two great rivers and one of the oldest and most productive agricultural regions in California, the Delta is a special place and a region that faces many challenges from

the state’s water management efforts.” Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottoli, current chairman of the commission, said “The people of the Delta region live in one of the most special places in the country, a place that the U.S. Congress has recognized as nationally-significant when it designated the Delta as a National Heritage Area in 2019. We look forward to Bruce’s leadership and efforts in continuing to carry out the important work of the Commission.” To learn more about the Delta Protection Commission, visit the Commission’s website at www.delta.ca.gov.

Motorcycles entertain fans at Antioch Speedway The flat track motorcycles invaded Antioch Speedway for a special night of racing on the 3/8 - mile clay oval track. Over a dozen different classifications of bikes took their turns on the speedway in the heat race and Main Event competition. However, the focus was on the Pro Am division, which competed for a $1,000 prize. There were eight competitors for the Pro Am class, and the Top 4 heat race finishers would earn the right to compete in the winner-take-all $500 Dash for Cash. After winning the 10-lap heat race, Tony Meiring proceeded to score the big victory in the four-lap Trophy Dash. Meiring had his eyes on the $1,000 prize in the 20-lap Main Event, and he led that race from the outset. Brandon Weller moved into second on Lap 2, and Chris McDougall battled his way into third. They would finish in that order. The 12-lap Running Of The Bulls event didn’t have the intended first prize after the sponsor pulled out at the last minute. However, the drivers on hand competed for the $500 first-place purse. After winning the 10-lap heat race, Blake Ash proceeded to win the 12-lap Main Event. Jonathan Schaefer was second

Colton Schaefer won the 12-lap Main Event ahead of Rider Fitz-Hay and Jeff Katarzy. Schaefer and Chris Knox picked up their respective 10-lap heat race wins. The 250 class saw Myles Henderson

win their 12-lap Main Event ahead of James Arraiz and Christian Knox. Henderson also won the 10-lap heat race. Donnie Darrah opened the evening with the Vintage A 10-lap heat race win and followed that up by holding off William McDonnell and Larry Greene to win the 12-lap Main Event. The Peewee class for kids 4 to 6 years

old proved to be popular, and Indy Tallent won the 12-lap feature ahead of C Elscholz and Ryder Meiring. Tallent also picked up the win in the 10- lap heat race. The 100-150 4 Stroke win went to Dean Rabideau ahead of Ryder Fitz-Hay. Pedro Brown won the 12-lap Hooligan Main Event ahead of Dean Thompson and Victor Tallent.

Former Heritage pitcher Blackburn is putting up All-Star numbers for A’s by Michael Dixon Correspondent

When Major League Baseball’s best players gather in Los Angeles for the 92nd Major League Baseball All-Star Game, the Oakland Athletics might be represented by starting pitcher Paul Blackburn, a 2012 graduate of Heritage High School. Blackburn is the only commentary Heritage alum to play in Major League Baseball. Athleticsnation.com recently projected that Blackburn or fellow starting pitcher Frankie Montas would represent the A’s in Los Angeles, giving a slight edge to the former Patriot -- and with good reason. Blackburn is enjoying the best season of his career. His start on Monday, June 17 was his 15th of the year. Blackburn has compiled a 6-3 record on the year with a 3.12 ERA, 1.19 WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched) and 62 strikeouts in 80.2 innings. The A’s are the only team that Blackburn has played for at the Major League level, but his professional career has seen many stops. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2012 and immediately went into their Minor League system. In 2016, Blackburn was part of a trade between the Cubs and Seattle Mariners. Going to Chicago in that deal was Mike Mont-

gomery, who ended up recording the final out of that year’s World Series, the Cubs first championship since 1908. Blackburn remained in the Seattle organization for the remainder of the 2016 season but in November of that year, was traded to the A’s. On July 1, 2017, he made his Major League debut and remained on Press file photo the Major League roster for the rest of the season. Blackburn started 10 games for Oakland A’s pitcher Paul Blackburn, a Heritage High alum, is in the A’s that year, posting a 3.22 ERA, 1.26 contention to appear in the MLB All-Star Game.

That’s a much more palatable rate, especially for a pitchWhile the season is only half over, Blackburn’s win to- er who doesn’t issue many walks, pundits said. Of the seven tal, innings pitched and strikeouts are all already career highs. home runs he’s surrendered, four have been solo shots while So, what’s been the key to Blackburn’s success? Three things, the other three were two-run homers. some experts say. Perhaps the most significant difference for Blackburn One is control. Blackburn has never been a high strike- has been opportunity. Much of his career since 2017 has out pitcher, especially for the modern era. But his control is been spent going between the minors and majors. In 2018, better now than it was, they said. His walks-per-nine-innings he started only six games. In 2019, Blackburn had only four appearances and one start. He took the mound only once rate in 2021 and 2022 is 2.3 – down from 3.3 in 2019. Another factor is where he places his strikes and what during the COVID-19-shortened season in 2020 and nine times in 2021. But with previous rotation stalwarts like Sean kind of contact he’s allowing. In 2021, Blackburn surrendered eight home runs in only Manaea and Chris Bassitt now on other teams, Blackburn 38 innings, a rate of 1.9 per nine innings.

NFL’s Najee Harris returns to Antioch for youth camp ANTIOCH Former Antioch High School football star and current Pittsburgh Steelers running back returned to his old stomping grounds for Da’ Bigger Picture Foundation’s first youth football camp last Saturday. During two sessions, an estimated 490 youth performed football drills, interacted with Harris and learned some off-the-field lessons, such as the importance of education. Da’ Bigger Picture Foundation focuses on assisting underserved families in reaching their potential and goals, according to its website. The foundation hopes to provide tools and assistance to families facing challenging times, focusing on education, homelessness, addressing hunger and using sports as a platform to develop life skills. Several other current and former NFL players were also on hand to help out, including running back Marshawn Lynch and quarterback Josh Johnson, an Oakland native now with the Denver Broncos.. For Harris, the event was a homecoming. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Harris finished his Antioch High School career as one of the area’s best ever, rushing for 7,948 yards and 94 touchdowns in four seasons. He averaged 9.5 yards a carry and 193.9 yards a game.

He went on to the University of Alabama as one of the nation’s top prospects and then continued to flourish, finishing his four-year college run as the school’s all-time leader in rushing yards (3,843), total yards (4,624), rushing touchdowns (46) and total touchdowns (57). After being drafted as the 24th pick in the NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021, he went on to break the franchise’s single-season rookie rushing record in the Steelers’ 26-14 win over the Cleveland Browns on Jan. 3. Harris rushed for 1,172 yards on 296 attempts through 16 games last season, eclipsing Hall of Famer Franco Harris’ 1,055 in 14 games during his rookie season in 1972. He finished the season with 1,200 yards and seven touchdowns.

2 hospitalized in fivevehicle Brentwood crash

Photo by Melissa van Ruiten

A male bicyclist was airlifted after being struck by a truck that ran a red light at the intersection of Sand Creek Road and Minnesota Avenue.

Two people were hospitalized after they were seriously injured in a fivevehicle crash at the intersection of Sand Creek Road and Minnesota Avenue in Brentwood on Monday morning. A pick-up truck traveling east on Sand Creek Road ran a red light at around 10:30 a.m. and collided with an SUV traveling north on Minnesota Avenue, according to police. The collision spun the SUV into a bicyclist who was crossing Sand Creek Road with the light, before the SUV came to rest facing east in the westbound lane of Sand

Creek Road. The adult male bicyclist, who was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition. The driver of the SUV, a male in his 60s, required extrication from his vehicle and was transported by ground ambulance with major injuries to a local hospital. An eyewitness who was stopped for the red light described seeing the bicycle flip into the air, before coming to rest in front of her vehicle.

It’s been an honor and privilege to serve you as ECCFPD’s Fire Chief Editor’s note: This week is East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Fire Chief Brian Helmick’s last week as chief before he becomes deputy chief of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. This is his open letter to the community. This week marks my last uest week as the Fire comment Chief of the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD). In April of 2017, I was given the opportunity to serve as the Interim Fire Chief of ECCFPD, and in January 2018, I became the permanent Fire Chief. This article is intended to say ‘thank you’ to my extended family and community for their patience and continued support through this entire painstakingly hard process. Below, one will find the ones who are responsible for correcting ECCFPD’s historic Fire, Rescue, and EMS challenges. Below, are the ones who deserve the credit for fixing, once and for all, ECCFPD’s challenges. They are as follows: To God, my family, friends, appointed / elected Fire Board members, ECCFPD’s employees past and present, IAFF Local 1230 and other labor representatives, and ECCFPD contractors. I start by thanking God (with God shall nothing be impossible-

thank you, Jesus!) for all of you. Personally over the last five years, I trusted and worked to be obedient to God (stumbling many times along the way) and HE blessed me with The Dream Team. For years, I have been consistently confident that if I was obedient to Him, that in His time, and according to His plan, ECCFPD’s issues would be resolved. To my family, ECCFPD family, and the “Dream Team”, your efforts collectively and perseverance are what brought the concept of fixing ECCFPD’s historical issues to a conclusion. I thank you all. To the elected officials and their staff of the City of Brentwood, Oakley, Contra Costa County, the Towns / Municipal Advisory Councils, and The Discovery Bay Community Service District. Your continued collaboration, patience, and trust over the past five years have been a catalyst to moving the Fire District forward. I thank you all. To the long list of partner fire, law enforcement, and EMS agencies. Thank you for the years of responding to mutual aid and automatic aid requests and for filling the gap where we could not ourselves. Your dedicated support has saved many lives and property. Thank you for helping us do what we could not do on our own. To the federal, state and local elective

Letters Solutions to water shortages exist

Editor: Water! Time for change is now. In fact past due. We are in severe drought. Gov. Newsom ordered California Air Resources Board to develop and propose strategies to achieve 100% zero-emissions by 2045. President Biden signed an executive order to make half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 zeroemissions. Fire danger is very high. Water supply system is unreliable. Global warming has upset the natural balance. There will be power outages throughout California. People depend on stable electricity and water supply for life support. Without water, no power. Without water, fires burn freely. With the likelihood of water diverted from the Delta in the future our need is even greater. I’ve done simple experiments with our air conditioner and a room dehumidifier. Both create about one gallon per hour each of fresh water. I hooked

Thank you for working I will be transitioning from my current with ECCFPD to develop the 2019-2023 Fire Chief’s position into a Deputy Fire strategic plan and to challenge the District Chief position with the Contra Costa to explore all options in lieu of a tax to County Fire Protection District.

up a hose from my AC condensate to my orange tree for watering in the summer. Since I have a solar home, it is a very inexpensive way to create water. A passive water harvester made with metal-organic frameworks collects water constantly without electricity. Our elected officials at City of Oakley, Diablo Water District, Ironhouse Sanitary and the County must come together to solve this problem. There are two National Laboratories (Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore) and UC campuses nearby (UC Davis and UC Berkeley) with vast R&D on water creation, collection, conservation, electric vehicle, battery technology and solar power. It’s time to work together with our national labs and universities to create a homeowners program that will fund and build home systems that passively and actively gather atmospheric fresh water and process grey water for reuse, and solar power systems with battery backups.

Overturning Roe vs. Wade is wrong

Last Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade. Although expected, this is shocking news, and a direct attack on women’s health care and women’s power to make decisions regarding our bodies. The right to choose is personal to me. As a teenager, I had first-hand experience with choice. During my first pregnancy, I went into Planned Parenthood and learned I was pregnant. Planned Parenthood afforded me the option and the opportunity to discuss the different choices that were

available to me. As I considered all of my options with the counselor there, I felt supported, I felt cared for, and I felt loved. But most importantly, I felt great strength in knowing I had the choice to decide what my future would look like. The decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade will have a disproportionate impact on women of color, restricting their access to birth control and sex education. Black women are three to four times more likely to die of pregnancy-related causes. This decision will no doubt have a devastating impact on women’s access to quality reproductive health care and increase Black maternal mortality rates. Quality health care is a human right. I want the women who call our great state home, and to the women who take refuge here, I will always fight for you, and you always have a seat at the table.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits on July 12, 2022 hold a public hearing to consider the following: An application for a rezone to amend Chapter 17.725 (Affordable Housing) of the Brentwood Municipal Code (the “Ordinance”) in accordance with direction provided by the City Council on April 26, 2022 and May 24, 2022, including, but not limited to, the following: 1. Increase the overall obligation of the Ordinance to 13% for ownership and rental housing (3% Very Low Income / 4% Low Income / 6% Moderate Income); 2. Limit the option to pay a fee in lieu of constructing the required affordable housing units to residential development of 5-9 units; and 3. Residential development of 10 or more units would not be allowed to pay a fee in lieu of constructing affordable units. The Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§21000, et seq., and the Guidelines for CEQA, 14 CCR §§15000, et seq.) because it has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, per 14 CCR §15061(b) (3). Further, the Ordinance is also exempt because it does not apply to any particular housing project at this time and it is thus speculative to evaluate any such future project in the context of consideration of this Ordinance. The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the amendment on June 21, 2022, and recommended (Resolution No. 22-016) that it be approved by the City Council.

The City Council will consider the adoption of text and land use map amendments to the Priority Area 1 Specific Plan (SPA 22-001), to update development standards, land uses, infrastructure and public services, and circulation, as well as economic development and implementation; and the adoption of an ordinance to amend Brentwood Municipal Code Chapter 17.295 (PA-1 [Priority Area One] zone) and the zoning map of the City of Brentwood accordingly (RZ 22-001). Approval of the project will not result in the approval of any particular development proposal, but rather the underlying planning to facilitate later project review and approval. The project includes an Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the Priority Area 1 (PA-1) Specific Plan Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2018042064), which was certified by the City of Brentwood on November 13, 2018 (Certified EIR). In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), this Addendum analyzes proposed modifications (the Modified Project) to the PA-1 Specific Plan Project approved in 2018, and demonstrates that all of the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed modifications would be within the envelope of impacts already evaluated in the Certified EIR. On June 21, the Planning Commission held a public hearing as to the Addendum, SPA 22-001, and RZ 22-001, and adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the project. Applicant: City of Brentwood Further information may be obtained from Joshua Ewen, Senior Analyst, Economic Development Division [(925) 516-5440 or jewen@brentwoodca.gov], City of Brentwood, 150 City Park Way, Brentwood, California 94513.

Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-899897CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-899897-CL to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

TRA COSTA COUNTY RECORDS. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4340 BALFOUR ROAD, BRENTWOOD, CA 94513 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $547,869.41 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-866-5394173 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. SERVICELINKAUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 088094-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 088094-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

This legislation seeks to protect women and care providers from civil liability imposed by other states, and sends a clear message that California will continue to be a safe haven for

all women seeking reproductive health care services in our state.” In addition to signing legislation to protect those in California seeking access to reproductive health care, Newsom also joined the governors of Washington and Oregon in issuing a “Multi-State Commitment” to continue to provide the same access across the West Coast, Newsom said. “California has banded together with Oregon and Washington to stand up for women, and to protect access to reproductive health care,” Newsom said. “We will not sit on the sidelines and allow patients who seek reproductive care in our states or the doctors that provide that care to be intimidated with criminal prosecution. We refuse to go back and we will fight like hell

to protect our rights and our values.” While the decision has led to uncertainty nationwide as the legality of abortion reverts to being decided by each state, Contra Costa County remains committed to maintaining the status quo. “The ability to access reproductive care — and to maintain autonomy over our own bodies — is essential to the health and wellbeing of everyone in our community,” said Karen Mitchoff, chairperson of the county Board of Supervisors said in a press release.. “I remember a time when we did not have the right to choose. Here in Contra Costa County, we will do everything we can to not go back to those days.” To view a video, visit www.thepress.net/ multimedia
