  • City of Richmond 2015 Community Survey  -- The Deadline is Approaching and We Need your Feedback

 

One of the best ways to improve Richmond’s services is to ask the people that live here what they think. With this in mind, the City of Richmond is pleased to announce the 2015 Community Survey!  During the past few weeks, you may have been notified that you have been selected to give input that will help the City improve the level of government services and the future of your community. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of 3,000 Richmond residents, asking them to comment on the community’s pressing needs and city services. 

The purpose of the survey is to help City officials evaluate services, measure resident satisfaction with current services, and to help plan for Richmond’s future. The results from the survey will be included in a final report available to all City officials, staff and residents.

If you were selected, please return the survey before the stated deadline.  If you know someone that received one, please encourage them to fill it out and return it. Your input can help make the City of Richmond a better place to live, work and play.  Feel free to contact the City Manager’s Office with your questions at 510-620-6512.

  • My Brother’s Keeper Action Summit – This Monday, May 4th 

 

President Barack Obama launched the “My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge” in February 2014 as a call for cities to improve the life outcomes of all young people by implementing a coherent cradle-to-college-and-career strategy. This strategy ensures that young people can reach their full potential, regardless of who they are, where they come from, or the circumstances into which they are born.

Richmond accepted President Obama’s challenge at the behest of Vice Mayor Jael Myrick, and is asking the community to join in pledging to ensure positive outcomes for all youth. You are cordially invited to join the City of Richmond and community members in developing the city’s My Brother’s Keeper Initiative. The conversation will take place during Richmond’s My Brother's Keeper Summit on Monday, May 4th from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM at the Richmond Municipal Auditorium, 403 Civic Center Plaza.

Participating in the summit is a great opportunity for interested persons to help shape policies, programs and philanthropic activities in Richmond aimed at improving life outcomes for youth, especially Black and Latino boys and young men.

The Housing Authority has retained the professional firm of Autotemp to provide relocation assistance for the residents.

As of the week of April 27th,all but one household has participated in the interview process with Autotemp. Autotemp consultants are providing ongoing advisory assistance and referrals to the residents. To date, approximately 60% of the households have received their Notices of Eligibility and Informational brochures. Currently five (5) households have found a replacement home; three have scheduled move in dates of May 1, 2015.  Autotemp consultants are continuing to assist with application and claim processing.

  • Fire Department Highlights

 

Small Burners

In recent months, the property at 2400 Nevin Plaza has experienced a rash of cooking fires. The Fire Prevention Services Division, led by Fire Marshal Terry Harris, met with the Richmond Housing Authority staff and the Nevin Plaza Commission to find ways to resolve this issue. As a first step, the Fire Prevention Services Division held a fire safety training focused on “safe cooking” at the property. As a result of this training, a member of the Nevin Plaza Commission, Jackie Thompson, proposed the utilization of a new “SmartBurner” technology, which is an intelligent cooking system that electronically controls energy to burners, helping to prevent fires and saving energy.

The Fire Prevention Services Division researched the “SmartBurner”, proposed it to Housing Authority Executive Director Tim Jones, and it has now been installed in each unit at Nevin Plaza.  The Prevention Services Division is also looking into creating a city wide ordinance for any assisted living developments to implement the “SmartBurner” technology inside their electric stove appliances.

  • City of Richmond Housing Element Update Draft and Planning Commission Meeting

 

The State of California recognizes the vital role local governments play in the availability, adequacy and affordability of housing. State law requires every jurisdiction in California to adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan to guide its physical development; the Housing Element is one of the seven mandated elements of the General Plan. Housing Element law mandates that local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community. The law recognizes that in order for the private market to adequately address housing needs and demand, local governments must adopt land use plans and regulatory systems that provide opportunities for, and do not unduly constrain, housing development.

The public draft of the Richmond Housing Element Update (2014-2022) is now available.  To access the report please visit the project website at http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/housingupdate

Please send comments on the draft Housing Element to: Lina_Velasco@ci.richmond.ca.us

The Planning Commission will consider making a recommendation to the City Council on the adoption of the draft Housing Element Update on Thursday, May 7, 2015, 6:30 PM at the City Council Chambers, 440 Civic Center Plaza.  The Planning Commission Website can be accessed using this Link.

  • Officer Bradley A. Moody Memorial Underpass Project

 

The Bradley A. Moody Memorial Underpass Project involves the construction of a roadway underpass on Marina Bay Parkway between Meeker Avenue and Regatta Boulevard, and is intended to resolve long-standing access limitations to the Marina Bay area caused by frequent train crossings.  In early September 2013, Marina Bay Parkway was closed to traffic.  This closure is planned to remain in place through June 2015. 

During the week of April 27th, crews continued construction of bridge tower column formwork, and stripped formwork from the transition walls.  Additionally, construction of the generator building and fabrication of cable railings commenced; both of these activities will continue for the next several weeks.  For the week of May 4th, concrete pours for the raised sidewalks will continue, backfill will be placed behind the transition walls, and work on sidewalk, curb and gutter south of the bridge will be substantially completed.

  • Doctors Medical Center Closed as of April 21st

 

On April 21st, Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo officially closed and stopped accepting patients.  On April 20th, Lifelong Medical Care opened a new urgent care center across the street from Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo (2023 Vale Road).

“Urgent care” centers treat medical conditions that require immediate medical attention (usually within 24 hours), but are not serious enough to require hospitalization and/or are not life threatening. (A life-threatening medical emergency should still generate a call to 911.)  Lifelong Urgent Care is an alternative to the emergency room for minor illnesses and injuries, and is made up of emergency room clinicians that are ready to treat all types of medical conditions. No appointments or referrals are needed, and the clinicians can refer patients back to a primary care physician (PCP) for follow up care, or connect patients with a PCP if they do not currently have a provider.  Lifelong welcomes all forms of payment, regardless of whether a patient is insured. They accept Medi-Cal, Medicare, Family Pact and most managed care plans including Covered California. Lifelong also offers a sliding scale discount based upon family size and income.

Lifelong Urgent Care will be open 7 days a week, noon to 8:00 PM and walk-ins are welcome.  They can be reached at (510) 231-9800 or at www.lifelongmedical.org.  Lifelong also has sites that offer primary care and non-urgent care with scheduled visits.

Individuals without private insurance can call Contra Costa Health Services’ advice nurse line for free health advice any time at 1-877-661-6230, Option 1. There are more health care resources for West County residents through the Contra Costa Health Services website.

Time

Time moves by fast
Too fast to count the seconds in an hour
Or the minutes in a day
I feel like I lose power
Like there is just no way
I need to progress somehow
I can have a say
No better time than now
For things to go my way.

Bad weather did not keep the Adult Morning Program participants from collecting recycle items and then sorting and putting them together to take to the recycling center. Their goal is collect enough funds to take a weekend camping trip for the summer. They have solicited help from family and friends who donate their cans and bottles for their trip.

Each day, program participants take time to make sun catchers, bracelets, and earrings to sell and showcase at the 33rd Annual Senior Information and Health Faire.  The event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13th, from 10:00 AM to noon at the Richmond Memorial Auditorium. 

The Therapeutic Interactive Recreation Program participants have been taking more responsibility for the gardening to help the Adult Morning clients. They hope to complete planting the fruits and vegetables while teaching the importance of saving water in other areas to use for watering. The first strawberry was sampled this week and it was very sweet.

Shields-Reid

Seventeen participants from the Shields Reid Afterschool Program took a field trip to visit Nevin Park and do activities with their neighbors at the Nevin Community Center.  All the children had a great time.  Having children visit community centers in other neighborhoods helps to break down some of the perceived neighborhood divisions of the past.
