And there was a lot of discussion at the time about how we would lose another emergency room on a critical corridor of the Bay Area. There was reference to a hospital that had already closed in Richmond. It was sort of glossed over. It really piqued my interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We really take for granted this idea that we all have a hospital in our neighborhood. I thought, what does it look like to live in a community where there isn’t a hospital? I approached this wanting to hear from the doctors, the frontline workers, the patients, about what the tragedy was. They were never quite heard. And I wanted them to drive this story. I wanted them to be the storytellers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt that the reporting and the knowledge around the closure of Doctors Medical Center was never really in the hands of the people who were living and breathing the impacts of what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On following patients who must plan a whole day around a hospital visit\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I think there’s been a lot of focus about the loss of (Doctors Medical Center) through the prism of emergency services and not having an emergency room in West Contra Costa County. But there’s another enormous deficit, which is specialty care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a cancer center at Doctors Medical Center. Epigmenio Mayo and Angelica Lopez are a couple, both battling cancer. At the time the film was shot, they regularly made a trip where they would take three different buses to get to the county hospital in Martinez, where both of them were receiving cancer treatment. For them, this trip is an absolute necessity, but it’s something that they have to plan their entire day around. They are winded by the time they even show up to their appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the end of the film, the sun is already set. It’s a full day trip. They’ve talked a lot about how there’s no other option. As they say in the film, they prepare their minds and bodies for the trip because they know they have to take it.

"content": "\u003cp>Contra Costa County has been a key battleground in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11724434/contra-costa-county-judge-to-weigh-public-access-to-police-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal fight\u003c/a> over Senate Bill 1421, the police transparency law that went into effect last January. Now, after a year of delay and litigation, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office has released the first disciplinary record regarding a deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov. 24, 2016, Vacaville police arrested Deputy Christopher Spadaro for drunk driving after he sped away from officers and then abruptly pulled into a parking lot and shut off all his car lights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When questioned by a Contra Costa County Sheriff’s internal affairs investigator about whether he had been trying to evade police, Spadaro said, “I would never fathom doing such a thing to create, uh, you know, an issue for an officer,” according to a transcript of the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spadaro told Vacaville police he had only had one beer, but he refused to take a breathalyzer test. A blood test confirmed his blood alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sheriff’s Office internal investigation found that Spadaro lied about his drinking during that encounter. Spadaro had also put paper license plates on his car in order to avoid paying the Benicia-Martinez Bridge toll during his commute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County Sheriff David Livingston first tried to fire Spadaro, but ultimately reduced his discipline to a six-month pay cut. It appears the deputy still works for the county. Spadaro did not respond to an email requesting comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County Public Defender Robin Lipetzky wrote in statement that her office is “investigating the impacts of Deputy Spadaro’s misconduct on recent and pending cases where he was a material witness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lipetzky said timely compliance with both SB 1421 and \u003ca href=\"https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/373/83/\">\u003ci>Brady v. Maryland\u003c/i>\u003c/a> “are necessary to ensure due process for everyone in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jimmy Lee did not respond to questions about why it took a year to locate and produce the Spadaro file, nor would he clarify if his office has more disciplinary records to produce. Lee said in an email that his office intends to disclose all relevant SB 1421 records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our release of documents continues and we are committed to fulfilling all proper [SB] 1421 requests as quickly as possible,” Lee wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Supervisor John Gioia, who is one of Livingston’s critics, said he believes the Contra Costa County Sheriff Deputies’ Association pressured Livingston to withhold the document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sheriff should follow the law in disclosing documents despite a contrary position by the Deputy Sheriff's Association,\" Gioia said. \"His job is to follow the law as a county officer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DSA President Shawn Welch, in a phone interview Wednesday, denied asking that the document be withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11786770,news_11792317,news_11789945\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Police-Art_1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never took a stance,” Welch said. “It was delayed because [SB] 1421 is a brand new law” and there were questions about whether Spadaro’s case applies to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Welch’s union was one of the first police associations to file suit back in January 2019 to block the county from releasing past misconduct and use-of-force records unsealed by SB 1421. A number of First Amendment and media organizations including KQED joined that suit to argue for the disclosure of records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Contra Costa judge’s ruling in that case, which found that SB 1421 should apply retroactively, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732520/appeals-court-covering-bay-area-rules-in-favor-of-releasing-police-misconduct-shooting-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upheld\u003c/a> by the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco on March 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, even after that ruling, Livingston refused to search for records, arguing that searching the “voluminous” internal affairs files constituted an “undue burden” on the department. He was one of the few law enforcement officials statewide to make this argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally in June, the sheriff said the search for records had been completed. Seven incidents had been identified in which deputies had used force causing death or serious injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then on Tuesday, the Sheriff’s Office released Spadaro’s disciplinary file without any explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It begs the question: why it took litigation for these records to be released? Why were they not promptly released a year ago?” said David Snyder, an attorney with the \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Amendment Coalition\u003c/a>, which is involved in the Contra Costa litigation. “A year is not prompt. It makes one wonder if there are other records languishing in the sheriff's files that the public is entitled to see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spadaro was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2017, and court records show it was his first criminal offense in Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Spadaro was accused of sexual harassment in 2006 by a female deputy in the Sheriff’s Department. The county settled the suit in 2008 for an unknown amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internal records released Tuesday by the Sheriff’s Office show Spadaro was also reprimanded in 2015. But the Sheriff’s Office said records related to that prior misconduct are not disclosable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee would not say if the sheriff has ongoing concerns about Spadaro’s fitness to be deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thomas Peele of the Bay Area News Group contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.

Now, after a year of delay and litigation, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office has released the first disciplinary record regarding a deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov. 24, 2016, Vacaville police arrested Deputy Christopher Spadaro for drunk driving after he sped away from officers and then abruptly pulled into a parking lot and shut off all his car lights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When questioned by a Contra Costa County Sheriff’s internal affairs investigator about whether he had been trying to evade police, Spadaro said, “I would never fathom doing such a thing to create, uh, you know, an issue for an officer,” according to a transcript of the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spadaro told Vacaville police he had only had one beer, but he refused to take a breathalyzer test. A blood test confirmed his blood alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sheriff’s Office internal investigation found that Spadaro lied about his drinking during that encounter. Spadaro had also put paper license plates on his car in order to avoid paying the Benicia-Martinez Bridge toll during his commute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A number of First Amendment and media organizations including KQED joined that suit to argue for the disclosure of records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Contra Costa judge’s ruling in that case, which found that SB 1421 should apply retroactively, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732520/appeals-court-covering-bay-area-rules-in-favor-of-releasing-police-misconduct-shooting-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upheld\u003c/a> by the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco on March 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, even after that ruling, Livingston refused to search for records, arguing that searching the “voluminous” internal affairs files constituted an “undue burden” on the department. He was one of the few law enforcement officials statewide to make this argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally in June, the sheriff said the search for records had been completed. Seven incidents had been identified in which deputies had used force causing death or serious injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then on Tuesday, the Sheriff’s Office released Spadaro’s disciplinary file without any explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It begs the question: why it took litigation for these records to be released? Why were they not promptly released a year ago?” said David Snyder, an attorney with the \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Amendment Coalition\u003c/a>, which is involved in the Contra Costa litigation. “A year is not prompt. It makes one wonder if there are other records languishing in the sheriff's files that the public is entitled to see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spadaro was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2017, and court records show it was his first criminal offense in Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Spadaro was accused of sexual harassment in 2006 by a female deputy in the Sheriff’s Department. The county settled the suit in 2008 for an unknown amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internal records released Tuesday by the Sheriff’s Office show Spadaro was also reprimanded in 2015. But the Sheriff’s Office said records related to that prior misconduct are not disclosable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee would not say if the sheriff has ongoing concerns about Spadaro’s fitness to be deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thomas Peele of the Bay Area News Group contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.

Officials sought to improve after several major incidents, including deaths in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most jails, three-quarters or more of inmates had not been convicted of a crime and yet spent months and sometimes years awaiting trial in isolation. Under the new policy, “it’s really our philosophy to use that when it’s absolutely necessary, when there’s extraordinary risk,” Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jail employees work to get inmates out of segregation as quickly as possible, often using a system in which inmates agree, in writing, not to assault each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One inmate refused for 1 1/2 years to leave solitary because he had testified against other gang members, recalled Capt. Thomas Duran, who coordinates the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he saw other longtime inmates leaving segregation and eventually agreed to try it. Rather than put him immediately in with other inmates, deputies paired him with a single inmate — then two other inmates, then four and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He spent more and more time out of his solitary cell until he was fully back into the general jail population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Body-camera video shows Hall drawing his gun as he ran toward that opening while Arboleda steered to the right, also toward the space between the patrol cars. Hall can be seen firing several rounds through the right front windshield and continuing to shoot as Arboleda drove by, shattering the front and rear passenger windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney John Burris, who represents Arboleda's mother in a federal lawsuit against Danville and Hall, said \"the claim that he was about to be run over is bogus, given what we can see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The officer did not have to shoot into that car,\" Burris said. \"The car was going past him at the time, and more importantly, he had a duty to get out of the way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police were responding to a call just after 11 a.m., in which a man whose identity has been withheld reported a \"strange individual lurking around\" property near Cottage Lane and Laurel Drive, according to audio of the call released by the Sheriff's Office along with the videos. Officers tried to pull over Arboleda, who stopped twice but then took off again when officers got out of their cars, according to previous statements on the shooting released by the Sheriff's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police then cornered Arboleda's car at the intersection of Front Street and Diablo Road, where the shooting occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police dash-camera video was played at a coroner's inquest in July, according to an attorney representing Arboleda's mother, but footage from Hall's body camera had not been made public before Thursday. The inquest jury found that Arboleda's death was caused by another person and was not accidental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arboleda's family said two weeks after the shooting that he had struggled with mental illness for about a year, but declined to explain further. He had been detained by Newark police for psychiatric evaluation in April 2018, according to the Sheriff's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting remains under investigation by the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Nate Gartrell and Annie Sciacca of the Bay Area News Group contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.

Survey volunteers dispatched across the county identified nearly 2,300 homeless people, an increase of almost 700 since the last official count in January 2017. \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/PIT-report-2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In that count\u003c/a>, the total homeless population had decreased by more 400 since the previous count in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s findings are consistent with those in several nearby counties, including Alameda and Santa Clara, which also reported significant increases in homelessness, a bleak indication of the Bay Area’s housing affordability and displacement crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What our communities really need is housing,” said Jaime Jenett, a planning manager with Contra Costa Health Services, noting that across California, rents have skyrocketed while wages for many lower-income residents have largely stagnated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They need affordable housing that is really targeted to low- and very low-income folks,” she said. “A lot of the quote-unquote affordable housing is just completely out of reach for the people that we’re working with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c02bd2e0-6021-47a9-80df-6027dfd629e3?src=embed\" title=\"Homeless Count\" width=\"700\" height=\"666\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the striking rate of increase, the size of Contra Costa’s homeless population is still a fraction of that in neighboring Alameda County, where roughly 8,000 homeless people were counted in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenett also noted that unlike most other counties, Contra Costa independently conducts off-year homeless counts. The county found that the homeless population spiked between 2017 and 2018, but decreased considerably last year — an indication, she said, of more concerted prevention efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our community, we’ve really done a lot of work in the last year to increase capacity,” Jenett said, pointing to an increase in housing navigation services, a new county housing security fund and additional specialized homeless outreach teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the findings are still sobering. The data show a relatively equal distribution of homeless people throughout the county, 70% of whom are in “unsheltered” conditions, which include cars and RVs without hookups. While most homeless are between 18 and 54 years old, there is a disturbing uptick in the number of older adults without homes, Jenett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the county’s shelter system only has the capacity to accommodate less than a third of all unsheltered single adults, the report found. Jenett said her department is scrambling to open new shelters and facilities to meet the immediate need, but the effort has proved surprisingly costly and been subject to community approval hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/2355246a-869e-4554-937e-77519666ca15?src=embed\" title=\"Sheltered/Unsheltered\" width=\"700\" height=\"618\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Jenett said, it is permanent housing options, not just shelters, that are needed to address the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Contra Costa County is starting to put more resources into addressing housing needs, she said, it still hasn’t committed nearly as much funding as some other Bay Area counties to efforts like supportive housing programs, which combine housing and rehabilitation services for some of the most vulnerable homeless populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there could be more that’s happening,” Jenett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county plans to release the final results of the survey, including more detailed geographic and demographic information, in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Survey volunteers dispatched across the county identified nearly 2,300 homeless people, an increase of almost 700 since the last official count in January 2017. \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/PIT-report-2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In that count\u003c/a>, the total homeless population had decreased by more 400 since the previous count in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s findings are consistent with those in several nearby counties, including Alameda and Santa Clara, which also reported significant increases in homelessness, a bleak indication of the Bay Area’s housing affordability and displacement crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What our communities really need is housing,” said Jaime Jenett, a planning manager with Contra Costa Health Services, noting that across California, rents have skyrocketed while wages for many lower-income residents have largely stagnated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They need affordable housing that is really targeted to low- and very low-income folks,” she said. “A lot of the quote-unquote affordable housing is just completely out of reach for the people that we’re working with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c02bd2e0-6021-47a9-80df-6027dfd629e3?src=embed\" title=\"Homeless Count\" width=\"700\" height=\"666\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the striking rate of increase, the size of Contra Costa’s homeless population is still a fraction of that in neighboring Alameda County, where roughly 8,000 homeless people were counted in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenett also noted that unlike most other counties, Contra Costa independently conducts off-year homeless counts. The county found that the homeless population spiked between 2017 and 2018, but decreased considerably last year — an indication, she said, of more concerted prevention efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our community, we’ve really done a lot of work in the last year to increase capacity,” Jenett said, pointing to an increase in housing navigation services, a new county housing security fund and additional specialized homeless outreach teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the findings are still sobering. The data show a relatively equal distribution of homeless people throughout the county, 70% of whom are in “unsheltered” conditions, which include cars and RVs without hookups. While most homeless are between 18 and 54 years old, there is a disturbing uptick in the number of older adults without homes, Jenett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the county’s shelter system only has the capacity to accommodate less than a third of all unsheltered single adults, the report found. Jenett said her department is scrambling to open new shelters and facilities to meet the immediate need, but the effort has proved surprisingly costly and been subject to community approval hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/2355246a-869e-4554-937e-77519666ca15?src=embed\" title=\"Sheltered/Unsheltered\" width=\"700\" height=\"618\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Jenett said, it is permanent housing options, not just shelters, that are needed to address the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Contra Costa County is starting to put more resources into addressing housing needs, she said, it still hasn’t committed nearly as much funding as some other Bay Area counties to efforts like supportive housing programs, which combine housing and rehabilitation services for some of the most vulnerable homeless populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there could be more that’s happening,” Jenett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county plans to release the final results of the survey, including more detailed geographic and demographic information, in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Nancy Skinner, who represents western Contra Costa County, took issue with the sheriff's position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Law enforcement agencies up and down the state have been releasing records under SB 1421, just as the law requires. The First District Court of Appeals has also now ruled that records, regardless of when they were created, should be released,” Skinner wrote in an emailed response. “So the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office claim that responding to a reasonable records request is too burdensome is simply a defiance of state law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An open-government advocate who also requested records from Livingston said the sheriff's reasons for keeping the records secret “doesn’t pass the smell test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are exemptions in the law that allow agencies to reject requests for being overly burdensome, David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, said Thursday.

But Jones agreed to provide records this week, as did another holdout, Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union representing the Contra Costa County deputy sheriffs sued to block the release of records in January, claiming the new law didn’t apply to records created before Jan. 1. Unions for five other police departments in the county filed similar lawsuits but lost the case before Judge Charles Treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treat ruled Feb. 8 that the law applied to any records in possession of a law enforcement agency regardless of when they were created, a position take by at least six other judges around the state.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
