Hello, neighbors! Jeri Karges here with your brand-new edition of the Concord Daily.

First, today's weather:

Low clouds and fog may break. High: 67 Low: 53.

Here are the top stories in Concord today:

  1. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the situs address change of 465 properties in the upscale Saranap area from Walnut Creek to Lafayette for purposes of the upcoming 2022 delivery of the secured property tax roll to the Auditor. Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve the unusual request that will very likely boost property values of the 465 properties. Supervisor Candace Andersen of Danville told supervisors she had been approached by property owners in the Saranap area since 2019 to make the change because the properties are located within the boundaries of the Lafayette School District and are in the sphere of influence of the City of Lafayette. (Contra Costa Herald)
  2. At about 10:40 PM on Saturday, Antioch police dispatch received calls of shots fired in the area of Travesio Way. Officers arrived on scene and located a 36-year-old male on the sidewalk in the 5200 block of Travesio Way suffering from fatal gunshot wounds. This remains an active investigation and no further details are available at this time. Anonymous tips or information about this – or any other incident – can be sent via text to 274637 (CRIMES) with the keyword ANTIOCH. (East County Today)
  3. Concord City Council announced two openings on Concord's Measure V Oversight Committee and one opening for the City's representative to the Central Contra Costa Transit Authority Advisory Committee (CCCTA). Applications are due to the City Clerk by Friday, December 3, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. Information about the purpose and function of each of Concord's boards and commissions is located on the City's website and applications are available here.

  4. Police say they found 74-year-old Darlene Roth stabbed to death at her Walnut Creek home early Monday morning. They say her son is responsible. Her son has been identified as 41-year-old Nicholas Roth who is a local sports reporter with Bay Area News Group. He has been taken into custody. Mayor Kevin Wilk says Darlene Roth was well-respected in Walnut Creek. She was heavily involved in sustainability messaging and community food drives. (KRON4)
