Federal Glover (born May 9, 1956) is the current Supervisor of District 5 in Contra Costa County, CA. After working for 22 years with US Steel (USS-POSCO) and DOW Chemical collectively, Glover won the support of his community over time. He was first elected to office as a City Council Member for the city of Pittsburg, CA in 1995. Since then, he has served not only as a Council Member, but also as City Mayor. In 2001, he was elected to the Board of Supervisors, serving as the District 5 Supervisor for 16 years. Glover is responsible for representing the Cities of Antioch, Hercules, Martinez, Pinole, and Pittsburg and the unincorporated areas of Alhambra Valley, Bay Point, Briones, Clyde, Crockett, Mt. View, Pacheco, Port Costa, Reliz Valley, Rodeo, Tormey, and Vine Hill. His political decisions impact all cities and unincorporated communities within his district borders. Under Glover's leadership, District 5 has emphasized improvements in transportation, neighborhood policing, economic development, youth development, and overall quality of life concerns.

Throughout his career, Glover has consistently displayed his interest in improving the overall quality of life for his constituents in various ways. Since its inception in 1990, he has been a strong supporter of the Urban Limit Line because of its design to protect open space and reduce urban sprawl by channeling growth in areas most appropriate for urban development while maintaining the necessary infrastructure to support smart growth.

When meeting with his constituents, Glover has recognized a need in finding solutions to some of the social issues consistently raised during talks, resulting in the creation of The Gang Task Force. The Gang Task Force is a holistic approach from the perspective of law enforcement, education, faith and community groups towards combating the rise of the "gang" lifestyle among the youth of East County. Also, he spearheaded the relationships between local industries and community colleges, which provided advanced job training through the community colleges with cooperation of labor and local industries in order to address the void in job qualifications for those in the surrounding community. Having won re-election numerous times, it is evident that the residents of District 5 believed Federal Glover represented them best.

Early life & Education
Federal Glover was born on May 9, 1956 in Pittsburg, CA; He is the son of Morris Glover and Lucille Ball. Glover's parents were both from the American South, his father being from Natchez, MS and mother being from Tallulah, LA. In search of work and financial stability, Glover's parents looked west, and found employment in Pittsburg, CA. His father was employed by US Steel, and his mother worked at a local cannery. Glover is one of twelve kids, and was the first of his siblings to have gone to college.

As a student, Glover attended Pittsburg High-school and graduated in 1975. While at Pittsburg high, Glover was voted Student Body President by his peers, and was named Homecoming King. Outside of school, he participated in President Reagan's statewide youth commission in California, which prioritized research into some of the significant issues of that time. After graduation, Glover went to San Francisco State University where he studied Business Administration.

Industry
Prior to his career in politics, Glover had a 22 year career at both Dow Chemical & POSCO Steel. From 1978 to 1980, Glover was an employee of POSCO Steel in Pittsburg, CA, what we know today as USS-POSCO. While there, Glover trained for various management positions and was a supervisor. After 2 years, Glover was offered a position at DOW Chemical, where spent the remainder of his industrial career. As an employee of DOW Chemical from 1980-1993, Glover assumed various roles as he did at POSCO. He worked in logistics, supervised the warehouse (shipping and receiving), and advocated for better safety training. While at Dow, Glover ran for Pittsburg city council in November of 1995. Encouraged by many to run for office, Glover's strength as a candidate was soon recognized as he expressed his vision for the city. Motivating Glover to run for office was his desire to create a sustainable economic base, his dissatisfaction with the city's transportation infrastructure and lack of attentiveness to the city's youth.

City Council & Mayor
Federal Glover was a City Council member from 1996-2000, and was the Mayor of Pittsburg, CA in 1998-1999. During his time with the city of Pittsburg, CA, Glover was responsible for several large projects. Of those projects was the construction of Pittsburg's new city hall (65 Civic Avenue Pittsburg, CA), and the creation of an independent power company for the city, which was established in 1997. Glover also partnered with the Pittsburg Police Department to create neighborhood policing, a program that required officers of the city to introduce and get to know the residents of the communities they serve. Glover also forged relationships with schools in the city, relationships that did not exist previously. Through these newly built connections, he was able to recognize the need in developing policy that was focused on ensuring students were in, and remained in their classrooms. This led to the institution of the first truancy ordinance in the city, created by Glover. He also started an annual event, known as the youth summit, which began in 1997. The Youth Summit is a community effort to build healthy attributes such as self esteem, honesty, and integrity. The goal of the program is to assist students in constructing the foundation they need to be successful, by equipping them with experiences that will enhance their personal and social standards. The interactive workshops provided at the Summit offer life skills, and assist with career development. Glover's time as a city council member ended in the year 2000, but the programs and institutions he helped build remain important elements to Pittsburg's community today. In addition, Federal Glover was able to establish sister city relationships with Japan and Korea, due to his experience and familiarity with local steel industries. These efforts were essential in forging business ties with international markets, and produced USS-POSCO, which was a merged company of US Steel and POSCO.

Transportation
In 2004, Supervisor Federal Glover was a representative on the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) for East County (Oakley Councilman Brad Nix, and Antioch Mayor Don Freitas were also representatives), and helped develop Measure J. Measure J is a half-cent transportation sales tax extension, created to support our transportation needs. It is projected that Measure J will provide approximately $2.5 billion for countywide and local transportation projects and programs through the year 2034.

In response to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's call for cuts to transportation funds in 2003, Supervisor Glover called for the area's elected officials to come together as a task force to protect road improvements and planned projects throughout the county. A top priority of the task force was to secure the funding for improvements on Highway 4, Vasco Road and eBart. Although East County was home to many people, with its size growing, residents in Brentwood, Oakley, Antioch, Pittsburg, and Bay Point were well aware of the design and planning flaws of Highway 4 and Vasco Road. As more and more people moved to the area, the inadequacies of Highway 4 and Vasco Road to meet the population demands was more evident. Since these roads are the main outlets from East County for workers, securing the funding required to address the inadequacies was essential.

Housing
In 2002, a collaborative effort by District Supervisors Glover, Gioia, and the County Administrator's office, the Community Development Department, the Redevelopment Agency, the Housing Authority, the County Council's office and the Building Inspection Department resulted in the creation of the Community Preservation Program, which was later passed by the Board of Supervisors as the Community Preservation Ordinance. It was suggested by the staff of Supervisorial Districts I and V that the development of a residential inspection program would address the need to rehabilitate and improve property before it became so substandard that the only to fix any problem would be through demolition. In response to pubic concerns, the board found and declared that it is in the public interest and necessary to protect public health and safety, promote civic pride, and preserve property values, to establish minimum standards for the maintenance of residential real property by prohibiting specified activities and declaring these activities to be public nuisances subject to abatement or enforcement by any lawful means(Ordinance 2002-46 and Ordinance 2002-49).

In addition to the concerns listed, Supervisor Glover and other county supervisors made a concerted effort to enact provisions that would eliminate, or at the least reduce vacant residential property throughout the county. Those efforts resulted in the county's Vacant Property Ordinance. The board of supervisors found and declared that vacant property can attract vagrants, gang members and criminals and can be a prime location to conduct illegal activities; that vacant property can be a blight and cause deterioration and instability in neighborhoods; that vacant property can invite the accumulation of garbage, trash, discarded vehicles or boats, weeds, and other nuisance conditions; and that vacant property can pose a serious threat to the public's health and safety and therefore constitute a public nuisance. The purpose of this ordinance is to identify vacant properties where nuisance conditions frequently occur and to require the proper securing of those properties to prevent additional nuisance conditions from occurring on the property.

Environment
In 2005, Supervisor Glover introduced the Vessel Sanitation and Mooring Ordinance, which was deigned to address the boaters who pollute the Delta or violate waterway regulations (Ordinance 2005-02). The ordinance gave the Sheriff's Office authority to cite vessels that dropped various sorts of waste into the county's water way's. In addition, the measure would prohibit crafts, or vessels deemed unseaworthy, and set permit requirements for those living on boats. State law prohibits dumping trash and human waste into certain waterways, but that did not specifically include the Delta. This measure was intended to ban all dumping in the Delta.

Public Safety
In 2003, Supervisor Glover partnered with the Contra Costa Firefighters Local 1230, and the Contra Costa Deputy Sheriff's Association in sponsoring an identification/fingerprint card kit for each preschool through 3rd grade child; The rise in crimes against children, and of missing children in particular, prompted Glover to create the child ID card.

In 2005, Glover and all county supervisors unanimously voted to close a county-run Head Start center in Antioch, Ca. Regulators who inspected the site say teachers neglected and roughly handled children. The center served 113 children, providing early development education to children age 5 and under from families who earned below federal poverty level income (at the time, $15,670 a year for a three-person household). Supervisor Glover said "the quick closure showed the county was taking a zero-tolerance approach to child care violations at its 20 federally funded Head Start centers". Later that year, a revamped management team of Contra Costa County's Head Start centers passed a federal review allowing them to retain an $18 million grant. In order to prevent issues of the past, the county and new management team hired more Head Start supervisors, clerical staff, trained teachers, parents and volunteers who were trained on safety and supervision policies.

Worker Safety
In 2002, Supervisor Glover proposed establishing a county industrial training academy that would train both union and nonunion workers for local jobs, in response to the often debated training standards for the thousands of industrial workers in the East Bay. Although the idea was dismissed, Glover believed this measure could help create jobs, keep money in the county, and most of all ensure worker safety. At the time, most of the training and testing was handled by union-operated apprentice programs. There were many who were concerned that the unions were using their training programs to build membership and keep nonunion workers out of some of the nearby industries. Although the development of Glover's program never materialized the way he originally envisioned, he is responsible for the creation of the Los Medanos College Process Technology Program in Pittsburg, CA.

Community and Regional Development
In 2004, The Los Medanos Foundation was granted $40,000 from Supervisor Glover/Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund, and $16,000 from various Rotary clubs in eastern Contra Costa County, for classroom upgrades. Some rooms on campus had not been improved since 1974, such as room 114, the lecture hall. The funds given to the school were used to address the lecture hall's state, by upgrading the chairs, desks, carpet, repainting of all the walls, improved lighting conditions, and replacing all the old sound and lighting systems. Peter Garcia, the President of LMC at the time, said the classroom has been on the list of improvements for a very long time, but money was not available until Supervisory Glover and the Rotary clubs decided to help.

In 2008, the Bay Area's transportation services, which includes the subway, BART, bus projects and transit services, received a $419 million funding package approved by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). Glover was a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission board at this time, and supported the $419 million funding value for transit agencies. According to Glover, the MTC had designated the area he represented as an "area of concern" that needed attention in order for residents of the area to have access to transportation.

Open Space & Preservation
In recognition of Contra Costa County's need to preserve open land, and protect the environment, Federal Glover assisted in creating The East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy. The East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy is a joint exercise of powers authority formed by the Cities of Brentwood, Clayton, Oakley and Pittsburg and Contra Costa County to implement the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan / Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP or Plan). The HCP/NCCP provides a framework to protect natural resources in eastern Contra Costa County, while improving and streamlining the environmental permitting process for impacts on endangered species. The Plan will allow Contra Costa County, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, the East Bay Regional Park District and the Cities of Brentwood, Clayton, Oakley, and Pittsburg (collectively, the Permittees) to control endangered species permitting for activities and projects in the region that they perform or approve. The Plan also provides for comprehensive species, wetlands, and ecosystem conservation and contributes to the recovery of endangered species in northern California. The Plan avoids project-by-project permitting that is generally costly and time consuming for applicants and often results in uncoordinated and biologically ineffective mitigation.

In 2008, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called for the State to create a "peripheral canal", connecting the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to southern parts of California. Federal Glover and many others were against the Governor's proposal for various reasons. Glover noted how studies conducted by Delta Vision were incomplete and neglected the concerns of those living around the Delta. In Federal Glover's published story in the Contra Costa Times, he stated that "the counties and communities from the Delta were left out of the process".

Initiatives
Interested in discovering ways to stimulate business and community growth, Federal Glover envisioned and proposed an idea of the future that had a vibrant business and industrial community existing on the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, now known as The Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative. The Northern Waterfront initiative is a regional cluster-based economic development strategy with a goal of creating 18,000 new jobs by 2035. The Initiative leverages existing competitive advantages and assets by focusing on advanced manufacturing sub-sectors in five targeted clusters, which are: Advanced transportation fuels, bio-tech/bio-medical, diverse manufacturing, food processing, and clean technology. The plan extends approximately 50 miles from the City of Hercules to the City of Oakley, encompassing 28,000-acres (47 square miles).

Other initiatives Federal Glover has started include:


 * The Gang Task Force, which is a holistic approach from the perspective of law enforcement, education, faith and community groups towards combating the rise of the "gang" lifestyle among the youth of East County.
 * The Industrial Training Institute, which provides advanced job training through the community colleges with cooperation of labor and local industries.
 * The AIDS/HIV Task Force, which initiates educational and informational events to help prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS in our community.
 * The Faith Initiative, which brings together clergy of all faiths to present a common front against some of the issues facing family life in East County.
 * He initiated County youth conferences which give young people a chance to air their views to community leaders and get valuable information about careers and education.
 * He consolidated three rural fire districts into the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District and helped provide more local control of the district.
 * The Faith Initiative, which brings together clergy of all faiths to present a common front against some of the issues facing family life in East County.

Transportation
Throughout his career, Federal Glover has emphasized the importance of improving the Contra Costa County transportation system, and has made positive contributions to this department in various ways. Glover had a great influence in securing the funding for the Highway 4 expansion in the East County to connect to Highway 160, valuing just above $100 million. In addition, The widening of Highway 4 -- along with the completion of the Highway 4 Bypass through Oakley and Brentwood -- will provide some welcome relief to our harried drivers, who already have some of the worst commutes in the Bay Area. He also helped with The Caldecott Tunnel, which is is a four-bore highway tunnel through the Berkeley Hills between Oakland, California and Orinda, California, connects Oakland to central Contra Costa County, a project that costed $203.2 million. Furthermore, Federal Glover had a leading role in developing the expansion of Bart.

Urban Limit Line
Historically, the discussion and implementation of the Urban Limit Line (ULL) dates as far as the 1960's and 1970's. This period was robust with development. New homes were being constructed to accommodate the thousands of families seeking a good life in the suburbs. Initially, the county welcomed the boom, and was for the demand too build, but the impact of thousands of new residents revealed the dangers of building too quickly. Schools could not be built fast enough, the nature of the area began too change, and good paying jobs did not follow people to the east county. New businesses were reluctant too late locate in East County because of the inadequate state of Highway 4. Businesses feared that their product would get stuck in traffic jams. The absence of new businesses soon affected where people sought employment, adding to the already difficult traffic situation.

The Contra Costa County Urban Limit Line was first introduced in 1990. When voters had the opportunity to vote for the line, they did so overwhelmingly. Through the result of the vote, it was evident that residents no longer wanted developers and the city to plan the construction of new homes. Instead, they wanted to solve existing issues within the region before the development of any new projects. Unfortunately, the establishment of the first Urban Limit Line did not slow building. Developers viewed the newly established boundary between cities as permission to build up to that point. Thousands of new homes were approved, even though much of the land involved was outside of the city lines. From the outset of Federal Glover's political career, the Contra Costa Urban Limit Line (a geographic boundary that restricts development) has been challenged by various parties who have attempted to adjust the location of the line. In 2004, the Antioch city council disapproved of Glover's proposal to keep the line where it was until 2009, when its position would be officially reviewed. Glover has been a strong proponent for the agreed upon location of the line, arguing that the line helps prevent urban sprawl.

Instead of Glover's proposal, Antioch Mayor Donald Freitas said that the county needed to adopt a line that would hold until 2034. At this time, the dispute over the urban limit line was between the cities of Antioch and Pittsburg. At this time, the debate between the city officials was centered around 995 acres south of Lone Tree Way in Antioch, where the city planned to build luxury homes, and wanted for these homes to be placed within the limit line. In addition, supporters of this plan held that by offering large lot homes, executives from other areas would be attracted to live in the city, and would bring their companies and jobs with them.

Glover not only believed that the line helped prevent urban sprawl, but also held that it was in the interest of the county to maintain the integrity of the line, so that improvements surrounding traffic congestion could be properly attended to. Building before having an adequate transportation system, capable of sustaining daily commutes would be an inefficient and ineffective way to plan our cities and counties, argued Glover. Glover believed that it was in the county's interest to establish a stronger transportation system prior to the construction of any large home developments, or any other significant projects. At this time, Measure J was a voting item for the county, which involved the transportation sales tax (half-cent). This half-cent sales tax directly impacted the county's ability to respond adequately to county resident demands, which called for uncongested, upgraded, repaired roads and highways. Glover believed that the city of Pittsburg, and surrounding cities would be better suited to handle the large developments, proposed by his critics, if the measure were to be passed. In general, Glover held that the city and county needed to adopt a slow growth strategy and resist the temptation to build everything before developing the necessary infrastructure, especially if those developments violated the adopted Urban Limit Line.

Process Technology Program
In an effort to increase qualified technicians, ensure worker safety and increase employment opportunities for county residents, Federal Glover collaborated with Los Medanos Community College in Pittsburg, CA too create the Process Technology Program. The Process Technology (PTEC) Program was developed at Los Medanos College in response to requests from local chemical and refining industries, and provides students with training for high skill, high wage jobs needed in the manufacturing industry. As early as 2001, Federal Glover wanted to create a program for people who were interested in advancing their skills as an operator and chemical processor. In addition, Glover believed that formal training could help mitigate some of the safety concerns, and resident who lived near industrial sites. The PTEC program today is a well established program. Those who complete the programs requirement of 35 units, and satisfy the needed amount of General Education credits could begin applying for refinery work throughout the state of California. Local refineries and industrial sites are projected to hire 100 to 150 process technicians a year for the foreseeable future.
