Welcome

Over the past nearly seven years, I have been proud to see more artwork being beautifully painted on utility boxes around town, by local artists! This is an initiative that I began working on nine years ago with Council colleagues, members of the Concord Art Association, our Public Works Department, and supportive Concord small businesses. I am delighted to see Phase 4 of the Concord Utility Box Art Project being brought to life by artists like Carmynn Zhou! Have you spotted this new "Beauty of Concord" masterpiece? If yes, where is it located?

#HappyHalloweenEveryone I had a fantastic time at the fifth annual @Concord Police Department Trunk or Treat! I ran into many friends and neighbors and the costumes were fun and creative!

Thank you to the Concord Police Department, #ConcordPoliceAssociation, Volunteers in Police Service, Teen CERT and #CentralContraCostaTransitAuthority for joining in. Even Contra Costa County Fire Protection District got in on the act!

Please keep the following safety tips in mind to enjoy a fun and safe Halloween:
🎃 Trick-or-treat in groups, with an adult along for younger kids
🔦 Carry a flashlight or glow sticks and add reflective tape to dark costumes
🎭 Choose face paint over masks that block vision
🚸 Cross at corners and crosswalks, and keep phones in pockets while walking
🚗 Drivers: Slow down in neighborhoods and watch for kids stepping out between parked cars
🍬 Check treats before anyone digs in

I had a great time at the @Mt. Diablo Unified School District Lights on Afterschool 2026 at @Holbrook Language Academy! My guide, Anthony, showed me the many different programs on offer, and there was something for everyone, from cooking, to art, to homework help, to robotics, to Legos!
