P A A S C H Martinez, California 94553 CLERK Bo RD OF T PH'80Rs CO ; RA GO CO- Do { Dear Mrs. Andersons BY I have received your,letter of December 11, 1969 requesting the support of my office for the fueding of the Martins and Bodnc day care centers by the Office of Child Development, Department of health, Education, and Welfare. There appears to be sent misunderstanding vithin Contra Costa County about the level of funding available to the county for child dev- elopment programs through OCD during this fiscal year. He new funds are available for such programs three& OCD this fiscal year. Unfortunately, local Community Action agencies such as the Contra Costa County Office of Economic Opportunity are Baited to the same dollar levels received last year for child development programs. The delegation of the HOW Start program to UM has not resulted in increased appropriations for this yew. Contra Costa County's funding guideline for this fiscal year is $414,400. The local Community Action agency ant decide how to divide these funds to achieve the most effective use of their money. The funds may be used for one or a combination of the following types of programs, as long as the total of programs dose oat exceed tha $4149400 levels sssscsr dead Start, full year NOW Start, or day care. Attached for your information is a copy of my letter of December 17, 1969 to James E. Moriarty, Chairman of the Centra Costa County Board of Supervisors, regarding this matter. As indicated in the letter, vhile the national administration has smounced its intent to provide increased support of child development and day care services, no increased appropriations have been made available to the Office of Child Development for this fiscal year. We hope that the future will bring brighter prospects for increased funding, but for the present we mast encourage you to seek alternate G.e,c-f ��t Lia✓./ Z sources of funding `"s-',your grafi► can persuade the-Contra-Costa County Old that the twa`day. care p"pcs" put U=Ua i should lumo,a higher priority for Head Start funding thm Lias* full year dead Start progrms presently btift supported by it.

T. PAASCH CLERK 130ARD OF SUPERVISORS CO RA COT CO Leyvuw DEC 2 Mr. J. E. Moriarty Chairman, Contra Costa County Board . .. of Supervisors Contra Costa County Office of Economic Opportunity County Administration Building Martinez, California Dear Mr. Moriarty: This letter will confirm the general program and budget determinations for Program Year E, which will begin on January 1, 1970 and end December 31, 1970; and are a result of discussions between your agency and Vernon Salvador, Field Representative Western Regional OEO, culminating in the Memorandum of Agreement, prepared in September 1969. These deter- minations represent the firm intent of this office, but this Letter of Understanding is not a legal document and the agreements contained are subject to change should OEO appropriation levels or program and funding policies be materially altered. In case of any such change, you will be notified immediately by this office. This letter applies to only those funds granted to your agency under grant number 0375 by the Western Regional Office under Sections 221 and 222 of the Economic Opportunity Act, as amended. I I. GENERAL CAA STRATEGY 1. The Program Year "E" Plans and Priorities (CAP Form 81), submitted October 21, 1969 to this office, by your agency is an acceptable guide for general program plans during the next year. This office is requiring a more specific explanation of how the plans and priorities will be pro- jected into actual program operations at the community level. This is necessary in order to better provide for allocation of resources from Regional OEO to the Contra Costa County Office of Economic Opportunity, and to connect the aspirations of the CAP 81 with the specific activities described in the work programs (CAP Form 7). The following sections of the CAP 81 should be expanded: - 2 - CAA PLANNING, Section A. There should be an explanation of the agency's proposed on-going planning process during the program year. How will planning by Central Admini- stration be done in relation to the activities of the CCC OEO, the Area Councils and the Delegate Agencies? CAA PRIORITIES, Sections C. and D should be supported by a fuller description of how the agency's priorities and goals will be implemented in specific programs. Section III, A, should also include reference to specific program accounts. 2. In conjunction with the Community Organization component, Central Administration will make substantial staff commitments to the training and organizing of the Area Councils around the requirements of CAP Memo 81 and OEO Instruction 6005-1. The CCC OEO should include a full- time trainer/organizer assigned to work with the Area Councils, Delegate Agencies, and the EOC. The training should be done by direct participa- tion with the community groups and agency staff in the meetings and pro- gram activities and energies of this staff member should not be diverted to administrative tasks. This project should include the Economic Opportunity Program Workers and Community Aide presently assigned to Pittsburg and Richmond. Their job descriptions will clearly delineate their relationships to the Area Councils, Delegate Agencies and the CCC OEO , focusing on participation with these organizations as trainer/ organizers. 3. Although it is recognized that other functions are included, Central Administration should also increase its emphasis in support, back up and provision of resources to Delegate Agencies and Area Councils. Program planning and technical staff should be responsive to Delegate Agencies and other programs operating at the community level. 4. Central Administration must develop clearer definitions of staff responsi- bilities in relation to the Delegate Agencies and the Area Councils within the CCCOEO structure. The Central Administration structure shall provide for advisory committees for each of its major functions. The committee membership shall be in accordance with EOC regulations and procedures. CCCOEO Central Administration and the Delegate Agencies are expected to transfer the priorities as established by the Area Councils and the EOC into workable programs in the target areas. These priorities are as follows: a. Community Organization b. Manpower c. Stimulation of better public agency services to low-income residents d. Expansion of Day Care, Head Start, and Youth Programs e. Housing .. ... nom- " .. " 71 f. Acquisition of non-OEO resources by low income residents Special concern will be directed toward implementation of the first priority, Community Organization. This not only serves as a basis for all other program activities, but also will insure better functioning of the entire CCCOEO structure, as well as fuller and more meaningful participa- tion by target area residents in community decisions. 6. The Area Councils shall examine the budgets and work program proposals for the Delegate Agencies operating in their areas and make recommenda- tions to the CCCOEO as to funding and operation of these programs. This includes the power of the Area Councils to recommend that certain programs not be funded for operation in their areas. 7. The positions in Central Administration are to be structured so as to be functional in relation to the program priorities and goals, as well as to stimulate career development. This cannot be inhibited by Civil Ser- vice technicalities, which are designed in reference to other county agencies and are not relevant to OEO guidelines. The CCCOEO will develop, as part of its manpower function, a specific career development plan for the agency which can serve as a model for other agencies. University Research Corporation, which sponsored the Berkeley conference on career development in October, is available as a technical resource for the CAAs in the Western Region. 8. As the CCCOEO was informed in a letter of October 23, from your Field Representative, Mr. Vernon Salvador, the Regional Office will not process the funding application from Contra Costa County prior to notification of the effective date of resignation of the present Executive Director. II. PROGRAM AND FUNDING LEVELS 1. The total local initiative federal share for Program Year "E" is $833,000. Non-federal share funds must account for at least 20% of the total program level. 2. In addition, the CCCOEO will be expected to receive a Program Develop- ment and Planning Grant for $16,600, and a Year-Round Youth Program Grant for $122, 500. 3. The Head Start Program will be funded by the Office of Child Develop- ment of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, at the same fund- ing level as Program Year "D". - 4 - The Program Account Funding Levels are as follows: FEDERAL NON-FEDERAL Administration 01 $132,401 $65,555 Planning 03 16,600 0 Evaluation 04 16,477 0 Neighborhood Service Systems 07 226,015 91,867 Community Organization 08 321,985 97,002 Job Development 11 42,430 13,410 Child Care 19 76,212 31,242 Youth 59 122,500 15,290 The Administering Agencies will be as follows: Administration - Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Planning - Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Evaluation - Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Neighborhood Service Centers 07 - Pittsburg Concerted Services Project; United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations; Volunteer Coordina- tors, Inc.; South Side Community Center. Community Organization 08 - Pittsburg Concerted Services Project; South Side Community Center; North Richmond Neighborhood House; San Pablo/ Parchester Village Community Organization; United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations. Job Development, Placement and follow-up 11 - Department of Education, Contra Costa County Schools System. Child Care 19 - Rodeo Child Development Center; Martinez Child Develop- ment Center. Year Around Youth/Special Programs 59 - North Richmond Neighborhood House; United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations; South Side Community Center; San Pablo/Parchester Village Community Organization. III. TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 1. Training for the CAP will be provided by WCATI in relation to the plan established by the Local Training Committee. 2. Technical Assistance will be provided by Social Dynamics Institute of Berkeley, a contractee of the Western Regional Office, in all program areas, with special emphasis on Community Organization, Manpower, Economic Develop- ment and Housing. Y _ i; - 5 - 3. Community Change, Incorporated, will continue to offer training and technical assistance to the delegate agency of the CCCOEO representing the Neighborhood Negotiating Committee in Pittsburg. 4. As other resources become available the Regional Office will notify the CCCOEO; however, this office encourages the CCCOEO to make use of whatever local resources in training and technical assistance which might be available to it. IV. NON-DISCRIMINATION The CCCOEO should evaluate its relationships with the minorities, especially the poor among the minorities who are the most disadvantaged of any group. Central Administration and Delegate Agencies must be employed and promoted without discrimination on account of race, religion, or national origin, and the CCCOEO and Delegate Agencies must take affirmative action to ensure that equal employment opportunity is afforded to persons of all races, religions, and national origins. In this connection, the proportion which employees of any ethnic group in all staff positions of the CCCOEO or any Delegate Agency bears to the proportion of persons in the community of the same ethnic group, will be considered relevant evidence in determining whether there has been effective compliance with the federal law. Services provided by the CCCOEO and the Delegate Agencies must also be rendered without discrimination on account of race, religion, or national origin, and the CCCOEO and Delegate Agencies must take affirmative action to ensure that all ethnic groups are afforded equal opportunity to receive the services rendered by the programs. Again, OEO will examine the ratio of beneficiaries from particular ethnic groups to the percentage of those ethnic groups in the low-income community as a whole, in determining whether there has been compliance with this legal requirement. Also, CCCOEO is expected to implement the requirements of OEO Notice 6004-2 in reference to an affirmative action civil rights program. V. SPECIAL CONDITIONS The Western Regional Office is requiring submittal of the following documents on or before January 31, 1970; 1. Manpower a. A more specific work program for the manpower component in Central Administration, describing the projected relationships between the Central Administration and Delegate Agency Manpower projects, and how they will be coordinated. This should include a description of linkages to other manpower resources, such as Department of Labor, Richmond Model Cities, CEP and - 6 - the CAMPS Committee. These relationships are especially important in view of the designation of the Agency as Prime Sponsor for manpower programs for Contra Costa County. b. An agreement as to jurisdiction of functions between the Central Administration Manpower component and the CAP Job Development and Placement Project. This agreement must be signed by the Director of the CCCOEO, the Manpower Specialist for Central Administration and the Director of the CAP Job Development and Placement Project and must resolve the contradictions between the work program for Program Account 11, and the Introduction to that work Program, presented in the Grant Application for Program Year "E." 2. Community Organization A job description for the new position of Trainer/Organizer, and the four Community Aides who will work with him in the Community Organiza- tion Component, focusing on their functions as described previously in this letter under the Section entitled GENERAL CAA STRATEGY. These job descriptions must be approved by the EOC. Sincer , Carl W. Shaw Acting Regional Director cc: Eugene R. Brusatori, Executive Director Bill Smith, Chairman James Deasy, Chief Dept.

Although all CAAs bane long known that it takes from 60 to 90 days from the receipt of a grant application in the Regional Office to receipt of funds, when I met with Contra Costa County Community Action. Program repre- sentatives in October, I offered to try to expedite Contra Costa's already late application and hopefully get it processed through this office within 30 days as a means of helping your agency. We will still try to do this. However, please clearly understand that we did not commit this office to processing of the application by December 15, rather within 30 days of re- ceipt. There are several outstanding things that keep us from processing the ap- plication at this point and we have notified you of these before. One is that we do not have your completed application. When you submitted it to us we returned it since you had submitted it about $1001000 over guideline. You recall that at that meeting with you and the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, I indicated that your guideline would be $833,000 and that your grant application should be developed accordingly---any over guide- line application would result in a returned application. Our office was assured at that time that you would come in within the proper guideline. Therefore, naturally we were disappointed schen we had to return the appli- cation to your office. We are still waiting for the corrected appiisation. As of today, December 3, it has not been received. Another matter that negates your application being processed has to do with eligibility documents which have been requested and not received by our office. Until a CAA ii determined eligible to receive funds, we can- not authorize funding. A third is that the Memo of Agreement which was to be signed by both your officials and our representative has not been received in this office. The Memorandum of Agreement is the basis for our office submitting a Letter of Understanding to your agency. It is only after the Letter of Understadding is signed by the Regional Director, that the grant can be signed. _ I R BMW I am spelling these matters out to you so that you and the members of the Contra Costa Community Action Agency will clearly understand the responsibility lies for the delayed funding of your application. Let me take this opportunity So inform you that the Field Representative for Contra Costa County, Vern Salvador, is leaving our employment December 12, 1969. I regret that I'm unable to announce his successor in Contra Costa County at this point. However, please be assured that Contra Costa will receive necessary services from the Regional Office. If you will take care of those three matters indicated, i.e., getting the completed accurate grant application into us immidiately, `getting the necessary eligibility documents into us for review immediately, `and gettiag the signed Memo of Agreement to us immediately, we will proceed expeditiously with your grant application.

Brusatori, EDP Development Direc_to . 69-159 SUBJECT: Recommendations to the Board of Supervisors In addition to the recommendations as per ny memorandums on 1) "Revised Budget for 1970 Community Action Program Application/Grant," and 2) "Technical Assis- tance to Pittsburg Model Cities Residents' Project (CAA Planning, Program Account 03) Grant," the following is furnished (as requested by you) in refer- ence to oW additional comments and recommendations: 1. The letter from Miss Frankie Jacobs, Chief, Northern California Division, Community Action Program, of December 3, 1969, indicates a delay in funding for the 1970 Community ty Action Program based on counting thirty-day pro- cessing from the date on which we filed all necessary materials (including revised budgets, eligibility documents, a-nT a resolution of the Memorandum of Agreement), rather than from the date on which we filed a completed application, i.e. November 14, 1969. Therefore, it is almost certain that we will not receive a grant for the 1970 Community Action Program on time, i.e. by December 31, 1969. 2. In previous years, the Board of Supervisors has authorized continuation of the program and expenditures based on written authority from the Rlgi oval Office of Economic Opportunity to utilize unexpended funds from previous grants pending receipt of notice of new grant. 3. It is, therefore, recommended that the Board refer this matter to the proper committee of the Board for consideration of appropriate courses of action to be taken and for report prior to December 31, 1969 (by December 30, 1969). (It is aW understanding that this is, in essence, what was done in approving the above recommendations and referring the matter to the Social Programs Committee.)

Brusatori, Executive Director of your Community Action Agency on December 8, 1969. We regret that such additional funds required in excess of your Fiscal Year 1970 Head Start guideline are not currently available to the Office of Child Development. We fully expect to be able to meet your total Fiscal Year 1970 Head Start guideline of $414,400, but hasten to remind you that until an appropriation is enacted, even that expectation is conditional. It is the intent of the administration to provide maximum possible support of child development and day care services, but funding for any additional programs or services necessarily depends on appropriations. Please be assured that your day care centers located in Martinez and Rodeo may continue to remain as an integral part of the county-wide Head Start unit even though funding for such programs may come from OEO (as part of the versatile funds available to community action programs) or from any other source of funding such as WIN, CEP, Unruh-1331, etc. Many Head Start units at the grantee level, as well as Head Start programs, represent coordinated fundings from various public and private sources. It is sincerely hoped that because of your agency's commitment to such Head Start and child-care services, OEO versatile funds can again be programmed for refunding of the two child care centers in Martinez and Rodeo. f -z- We appreciate the continued interest of Contra Costa County in Head Start and Child Development programs, especially the endorsement from the Board of Supervisors, representing the total community action in Contra Costa County.

White re :!ffice of Economic Opportunity. Mrs. White - Here concerning EOC irregularites. If you got out into the community you would find that very few people have been recipients of this money that is being expended. My first suggestion is that each month after EOC meetings that a tape of the meeting be rerun back to you so you can see what I am appealing to you with respect to conditions. You could see how much money is being wasted. Also ask that you look into fair representation, equal representation county- wide of people on EOC boards. We are tired of a continuous ghetto. Why would these two questions cause so much trouble. Too many people looking for power and this is what EOC has become - a power base. Appealing to you to hear tapes following meetings each month. You must investigate the employment practices of these community centers. Find out definitely where these funds are going. Have competent information that some Centers are hiring embezzlers, dope addicts and alcoholics. They are being used to train our young. We cannot have this kind of person leading young people. Can't have people hired by these Centers without having intention to reform. Would like to appeal to you regarding the manpower program. Must not be put into the hands of one particular Center. I appeal to you that you be the sponsoring agency. The community centers do not have enough unity within themselves. Putting too much power in the hands of one group. The staff of this particular community center is incompetent. I can show you proof why this staff is so incompetent. A few weeks ago this particular staff appeared before EOC and tried to oust a very i competent EOC Director. Some Centers indulge too much in politics. I have a letter that states "Black People Beware." Can't have this. The County Schools Administration has too much power and some of their workers. Can't have taxpayers money used for political prestige. I appeal to you to look into all of these things. I think with careful con- sideration these programs can help and can be used in a useful way. I beg of you to investigate these programs before you turn over the manpower program to one community center. Dias - Are you saying that EOC money, rather than to improve conditions of our people, is being used for campaign purposes? Mori,-rty - These are pretty serious charges. Suggest referral to County Administrator and Mr. Coll for further investigAtion and report back to the Board. Linscheid - Suggest rather than ::st Supervisor Coll that it be referred to Social Programs Comm ttee (Kenny and Coll ) 1/2 Referred to County Administrator and Social Programs Com. for investigation and report. 1/2/1 /5/3 affl= Y. . y ,.. .+ .:"".. a...'ez.. ,.r. ,:, .. ....�h.. � .er •44a e.d:..- i.r..tt 4. _ems Presently, there is an all-out, no-holds-•barred type conspiracy to undermine the efforts of the Black Community to obtain quality education. We believe the object of the conspiracy is to destroy the coalition of which Jim Smith, our own representative is a major tactor. By destroying this union, the conspirators hope to divide and conquer the votes of the Black Community. Unfortu- nately, participating in this devious scheme are unsuspecting principles of our community. They are not aware of how they are being used but that is not the point. Do not be swayed. "Jim Smith" is for us, with us and most important one of us. He alone can articulate the needs of the Black man because he is one. It is imperative that Black minds beware of the super-liberalist who disguised as a concerned can- didate really has ulterior motives. Reject this patronizing exploitation, this display of "we're really on your side now. " As a result of Jim t Smith's refusal to participate in plans to upset the coalition, personal and public attacks are being • made against him. We must realize the necessity of a coalition and its goals. It is obvious that although our community and our candidates are strong, one vote against four Neighborhood Schools People, should they get in, is of no value. For him to be effective it is essential that he be in the majority and only thru UNITED efforts will he be. r. Although some may disagree with the selection of Morgan and Cooper as team members,. responsible Black people have worked very hard to determine those whites who can be trusted to fulfill. a committment of gliality education for Black children. We, now more than over, need your support: : : Black youth, we say to you also, do not be fooled• and nd sl.ed by super white liberalist who are using ' you as artillery against your own people. only with your ,heli. and support can we wage a successful } battle.

She has challenged Mr. George Ealy's seat as a representative of the NAACP, contested the f representation-of West County on EOC committees, and accused the Delegate Agencies of political activity and hiring unqualified personnel. In three - '�- -- different appearances before the Board of Supervisors; certain vague charges have been made, and ,the Board has referred them to the Social Programs Com- mittee and the County Administrator's Office for investigation. We would like to remind the Board that the EOC is a duly constituted com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors. The EOC has a grievance procedure established for those who have any charges to be investigated. We wish to inform you that at no time has Mrs. White come before the EOC to voice her charges. She has been invited by the Richmond Area Councils to discuss some of her allegations at their meetings, but she has declined to do so. The Executive Committee, at its meeting of April 3, has moved to request the Board of Supervisors to ask any person or group making charges against the poverty program in our County to first take them through the grievance procedure at the EOC level before bringing them before the Board of Super- visors. If satisfaction cannot be gained at the EOC level, the matter I could then be brought before the Supervisors for action. The Executive Coles mittee has asked that the Director and the Chairman of the EOC address you in person on this matter at a regular Board meetigg to convey the strong feeling of the Committee on this matter. f We hope that the Board will follow this procedure for dealing with grievances concerning the poverty program in the future. ��Jird�C. ► � SZtiu.c.��� William 0.

Mr . W. O. Smith, Chairman, Economic Opportunity Council; Mr . E. R.

The proposed budget adjustment for the County Department of Education was discussed at some length with emphasis on the pro- gram proposals and employment of low income consultants to imple- ment those proposals and in connection therewith the possibility of a conflict of interest since some of the persons proposed to be employed are members of the Economic Opportunity Council. After discussion, it was decided that the appropriate course of / action in this case is to await written determination on this matter from the Western Regional Office of Economic Opportunity to preclude the possibility of audit exceptions at a later date. The committee also discussed the Memorandum of Agreement with the Regional Office of Economic Opportunity and the objec- tions raised thereto by Mr. Vernon Salvador, Field Representative,' and Mr. W. O. Smith, Council Chairman. The discussion focused on civil service requirements and their applicability in the OEO program. In this connection the committee believes that the „ statement in the Memorandum of Agreement concerning relaxing of the civil service procedures to the extent practicable should be implemented by requesting the Civil Service Commission to review . its procedures as they pertain to OEO employment. MW 2. The third item discussed concerned establishment of the OE-0 program independent of the county through establishment of a non-profit corporation to administer the program. The committee determined that the Economic Opportunity Council has acted favor- ably on this matter and that there are significant reasons for establishing the program on such basis, as well as arguments for retaining the present organizational arrangement. The committee recommends that the matter be referred to the County Administrator for preparation of a report indicating the advantages and dis- advantages, and implications of the alternative organizational / � � � arrangements. The committee further determined federal regula- tions cover Decertification as a Community Action Agency and that the procedures involved, including a public hearing, would probably require several months to fully implement, if a deter- mination is made that the program should be separated from the county.

By c.�,► Dear Suvervisors : Tt is with great dismay that I learned the Hoard does not wish to give the County Economic Opportunity Council more than a token role in the appointment (sic) of the next Director of OEO. Such a Board posture seems to 'counter the healthy participative -trend that is emerging in our institutions today, 'chat trend is evidenced in numerous ways . Colleges and univer- sities have involved faculty and students in presidential selection processes to a large extent; education bodies such as the State Board of Education have appointed students, The point to be emphasized is the need to continue to enable the affected populations to have more significant influence on the major decision problems. Perhaps the most important decision affecting the-County po7ert,y pro Tram wi.1 be the -appointment of the next OEO Director, T wish to urge that the EOC have a much l.arrer role in the appointment decision process than making recormendations to the Civil Service Commission on position requirements . Such a role will help ensure that this most valuable program remain responsive to those that it serves -- THE POOR PEOPLE, Sincerely,, G Roger M.

Brusatori , EDP Development Director X1110. : 69-29 SUBJECT: Item for Your Agenda for Board of Supervisors Meeting, Tuesday, September 30 - Low Income Delegates to Consumer Health Conference, Berkeley, October 2-4 Attached are materials in regard to a Consumer Health Conference under the auspices of a Consumer Health Training Project sponsored by the Public Health Service and administered through a University of California extension. The Project is funded from the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity and the Public Health Service of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The Conference is to be held at the Claremont Hotel and begins the evening of October 2 and concludes at 6:00 p.m. , October 4. There will be both professional and non-professional delegates attending. Low-income or con- sumer delegates recommended to attend are Mrs. Zelma Davis, Mrs. Mary Gray, - and Mrs. Wanda Farnsworth, members of the CAA Rodeo Area Council. Mr. Don Ross, Social Worker, Rodeo Service Center, is coordinating arrangements. The costs are $100 per person for the 2k days, which represents "full time complete registration" and includes room and board and all conference priv- ileges including workshops. Since several of the workshop sessions and pro- grams include dinner speakers and evening meetings, it is recommended that the full time registration plan be utilized. Payments for the three (3) individuals should be forwarded to Consumer Health Conference, Executive Planning Committee, 15 Shattuck Square, Berkeley, California 94720, prior to the beginning date of the Conference. In addition, expenses of ten cents per mile for one (1) car from Rodeo to Berkeley and return should be authorized for one of the above Conference participants. Funds for payments for this Conference are available as an appropriate charge to Central Administration Account 01, EOC and Area Council Program Supports. It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors authorize three (3) low-income members of the CAA Area Councils to attend the Consumer Health Conference as consumer health delegates at the rate of $100 per person for the 2k day period, plus travel allowance for one trip between Rodeo and Berkeley at ten cents per mile. Under separate communication, we plan to request authorization for travel for a staff member, Mr. Herman Smith, Head Start Health Services Coordinator, to attend this same Conference.

The Planning Committee is composed of the chairman and one appointee of each of three neighborhood health centers located in the San Francisco Bay Area (see Background enclosed). The proposed conference will be held at the Claremont Hotel in Berke- ley, California on October 2-4, 1969. Delegates from all federally funded neighborhood health facilities and local community organizations will be invi- ted to attend. The emphasis, however, will be placed on the need for partici- pation by consumer or community representatives from these centers and community organizations at the conference. During the two and one-half days, the participants will explore new ways o: dealing with many important topics (see Proposal enclosed). It is the feeling of the Planning Committee that solutions to the very complex problems of the delivery of services into communities and more specifically low-incone cotanunities, must come from or through the people being served. It is therefore essential that our first conference be a working conference in which we will pool our ideas and attempt to plan for greater coordination in problem-solving in the future. The projected cost of the conference will be $100 per person (trans- portation not included) and will cover registration, food and accommodation at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley. For those who do not wish to spend nights at the hotel, there will be a $25.00 reduction in fee (per person). The committee feels that there is a great need for a consumers' conference at this time and will make concrete plans to hold one if there is enough of a demand from health centers and community organizations. 1 Page 2 As time is of primary importance, the Planning Committee will need to receive final word from ydu in order to give us an idea of how many people will attend, if any, from your organization and what topics you would like included in tht conference workshops. We are enclosing a.brochure of the ho- tel and registration forms to be filled out and returned no later than the dates indicated on each. Any questions should be referred to: Louis R.

T. PAASCH TO THE CLE BO DZOFWSUPEISORSPOSITION OF RA_ _.._ MEMMIC OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR The Administration and Finance Committee has considered the request of Mr. William O. Smith, Chairman, Economic Opportunity Council, pertaining to procedures to be followed in replacing Mr. E. R. Brusatori, Economic Opportunity Program Development Director. These requests are as follows: 1. Grant authority to the Economic Opportunity Council to appoint a screening committee con- sisting of five council members (three to be chosen from the low income members of the council by low income members and two to be chosen from the non-low income members of the council by non-low income members) who would select three candidates for consideration by the Board for appointment to the position of Economic Opportunity Program Development Director; and 2. Exenpt the _position of Economic Opportunity Program Development Director from the civil service system and advertise for candidates who have an administrative background in economic opportunity matters and an intimate knowledge and identification with the low income community. In its review of the matter the committee has determined as follows: 1. The position is presently in civil service and organizationally constituted as a subordinate of the County Administrator; as such, the County Administrator is the appointing authority. .s . 2. 2. The position is funded out of local funds and cannot, therefore, be given exempt project position status, although an ordinance amend- ment by four-fifths vote, the Board of Supervisors could presumably exempt it from the civil service system. 3. Exemption of the position has significant impli- cations for tenure and removal from the posi- tion, as well as appointment thereto, and would in all probability eliminate any civil service employees from promotion to the position. 4. Board of Supervisors accountability for the Economic Opportunity Program, inclusive of the substantial fiscal responsibilities, is exer- cised through the Director and relinquishment of control over this appointment would under- mine that accountability. Considering all facets of the situation, it is the conclusion of the committee that the position should retain its present organizational status and should remain within the civil service system. In this connection it should be pointed out that the Economic Opportunity Program, as constituted in Contra Costa County, is a component of the county government. The Economic Opportunity Council is set up in an advisory capacity. Authority and responsibility for the program rests with the Board of Supervisors. Concurrence and support of the low income community representatives is desirable, but not necessarily compatible with the interest of the community as a whole. The fact is that the Economic Opportunity Program Development Director must have con- siderable administrative ability, must comprehend and be willing to adhere to law, regulations, and fiscal requirements, as well as supervise a staff of significant size. In other words, the incum- bent must have demonstrated abilities beyond identification with the low income community. A close working relationship must be established and maintained not only with the low income community but also with representatives of a number of agencies, which at , times have divergent views. Implementing the general conclusions stated above and giving recognition to the special circumstances affecting the Economic Opportunity Program Development Director position, the Committee suggests the following: 1. That the Board of Supervisors place responsi- bility on the Director of Personnel to administer the qualifying program for the position. ter . . r 3. 2. That preliminary to initiation of recruitment the class specification be reviewed by inter- ested parties, 'including the Economic Opportunity Council Executive Committee, for recommendation to the Civil Service Comaission. 3. That the Board recommend to the Civil Service Commission the calling of the examination accompanied by public announcement and recruiting on an Open basis only. 4. That suggestions regarding the qualifying proce- dures to be implemented, including those of the Economic Opportunity Council Executive Committee, be directed to the Civil Service Office for con- sideration by the Director of Personnel and Civil Service Commission. In this connection the Administration and Finance Committee suggests that in addition to the Open only condition, residence be waived and the examination be weighted to emphasize the personal fitness quali- fications of the candidates. 5. That in making his selection from the top three candidates on the civil service eligible list, the County Administrator receive and consider recommendations of the Economic Opportunity Council Executive Committee. The Administration and Finance Committee believes the proce- dure outlined above to be in the interest of all the people of the county, including the low income community, for it should assure' placement of a well qualified person in the position and reinforce the accountability noted above. The broad alternative to the course recommended is to separate the Economic Opportunity Program from the county government so that the Council, rather than the county, will be accountable for the program, inclusive of. the sub- stantial financial responsibilities which are involved.

PAASCH, CLERK County Administrator Personnel Director By ��-'C% �l- Acting District Anne M. Mc or ey, D uty erk Attorney Economic Opportunity Council a MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: I come before you this morning at the request of the Economic Opportunity Council to discuss something that is of utmost importance in the minds of Council members. At the last meeting of the CounciZ, Mr. Brusatori announced his resignation as Program Director for the Economic Opportunity Office. The CWwwil then recommended that the Board of Supervisors accept this resignation and commended Mr. Brusatori for his service in this office. The Council also diricted me to come before the Board of Supervisors and request that the EOC be intimately involved in selecting the new OEO Director for this County. Much of the cross that Mr. Brusatori was forced to bear during his tenure in this office can be layed on the fact that the Council felt that they had no determination in selecting x professional staff for Central Administration. This was especially true for the Director. Many of the past problems between the office of the Director of OEO and the Economic Opportunity Council can be alleviated if the EOC is allowed to participate intimately in the selection process. By helping to choose the new Director, the Council can than have the feeling, "This is our Director because we helped to choose him. ` I would like to suggest that the Board allow the Economic Opportunity Council to serve as a screening committee for the hiring of a new Director. Let the screening committee then select three names to submit to the Board of Supervisors for your final choice. I will suggest that the screening committee be made up of five members: three • � chosen from the low-income members of the Council by the. Zow-income embers, and trao chosen from the non-low-income :members of the Council by the non-Zow-income members. This group would then make its recommendations directly to the Board of Supervisors. A procedure such as this will allow the Council to participate in the selection process while stilt reserving to the Board of Supervisors the right of appointing a Director. we would like for this process to begin immediately. Hence, there are a couple of other things that we would also request. We would like to suggest that the new Director be exempted from Civil Service because of the slow and cumbersome process, which in the past has not been able to service the needs of the Economic Opportunity Program in this Coun0j. We would like to suggest that you advertise the ropening in much the same way - t+$.`:i•x ... irk. i .>. ...._ ..�`' i1;. .,:^- ,,_.. .. .... .M that you did for the Count/ CounseZ and District Attorney jobs. Perhaps the major criteria that applicants should have mould be 2) administrative background in OEO, and 2) intimate understanding and identity with the low--income eow=ity. Finally, we would like to assure the Board that our present progrram will be able to carry,/ forward during this interim period without difficulty. the Economic Opportunity Council has secured the active cooperation of Delegate Agency Directors who have had experience in preparing funding grants to give us some extra support as we put together our program for next year. We anticipate having our grant in on time this year regard- less of the fact that we will have a transition period between Directors. Pip. Brusatori leaves behind him a staff that is competent to prepare the funding materials for the next year. We have also secured extra support and assistance frorm`thel Reaional 090, program:' Mr. Vern Salvador, our regional representative, will also be spending some additional time with us helping in the preparation of the program grant and other pro- blems that might arise during this transitional period. I would like to ask the Board to act today: I. Request the ROC to set up a screening committee to present three candidates to the Board of Supervisors for their selection of the new OEO Director; and 2. Exempt the OEO Director from the Civil Service system and advertise for candidates who have an administrative background in OEO and an intimate knowledge and identification with the low-income community.

Any of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. (3) "Political subdivision" or "subdivision" A unit of general local government for a specific geographic area.within a State. Normally a county, township, metropolitan or regional government, city, town or village. The term also includes the tribal government of a State or Federal Indian reservation. It does not include specialized governmental agencies, such is school boards, conservation districts, or special park or police author- ities. Nor does it include wards or precincts. (4) "Existing Community Action Agency" A CAA which is already recognized and funded to serve any portion of a community at the time an appli- cation for recognition of a new CAA to serve that community is submitted to OEO in accordance with Community Action Memorandum 80 (CA Memo 80). (5) "Governing Officials" Normally, (a) the governor and legislature of any of the 50 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or a self-governing territory, or (b) the top elected or duly appointed officials of a local political subdivision, District of Columbia, or a non-self-governing territory, who collectively possess the power to adopt and carry out local laws or ordinances. However, if the attorney general or other chief legal officer of the political jurisdiction certifies in writing that the governor, mayor or other chief executive officer, or a specific group of the officials described above, currently possesses the power to plan, conduct, administer, and evaluate a community action program or to designate a separate public agency or private non-profit organization as a CAA, then that official or group of officials may be considered the "governing officials." (6) "Representative Boards and Committees" Those boards and committees within a community action program which are required by statute or by OEO guidelines to provide for representation of the poor, that is, of the residents of areas and members of groups served by the program. In some cases representative boards or committees must also provide for representation of certain public officials and other groups and interests. The specific representation requirements, powers, and functions of various boards and committees vary and are prescribed by the relevant statutory provisions and OEO guidelines. The term "Principal Representative Boards" refers to the governing and administering boards of community action agencies which are organized in accordance with Parts B, C, and D of this Wmorandum. 2 - (7) "Separate Public Agency" A.public agency-,which'is-]:not.;,itself,A- State, political subdivision, or combination of political sub- divisions_ „and'which,,has a governing body_that,,by law possesses” ; the following exclusive.powers=with respect. to;:a co®unity,;;action program: ' to,appoint. persons': to senior:staff positions�,.,(orr to, select such persons` for purely formal appointment'by, others);; to determine major,;personnel,- fiscal, ,and:program ,policies;re.•,to, approve overall program plan and priorities; to%assure`;compliance with conditions of financial assistance under,Title 'II of.the Economic. .

(1) Distinction Between a Governing Board.and an AdministerinA Board. Section 211 of the Economic Opportunity Act, as-amended, requires that every CAA have a broadly representative board. However, the two sentences of Section 211 (a) make a distinc- tion between a "governing board" and a "cowunity action board." Section 211(x) provides that: "Each community action agency which is a State or a_ political subdivision of a State, or a combination of political subdivisions, shall administer its program through a community action board which shall meet the requirements of subsection (b). Each community action agency which is a public or private nonprofit agency or organization designated by a State or political subdivision of a State, or combination of political sub- divisions, or is an agency designated by the Director under Section 210(d), shall have a governing board which shall meet the requirements of subsection (b)." To avoid confusion, the term "administering board" is substituted for "community action board" throughout this Memorandum. However, this term does not imply that the functions of these boards are necessarily limited to administration . The representation requirements of Section 211(b), which are described in Part C of this Memorandum, apply to both governing boards and administering boards. However, the powers of the two kinds of boards are different. Section 2,below, describes the differences. Whether the principal representative board of a community action agency will be a. governing board or an administering board depends in turn on the character of the community action agency itself: (a) Where a State, a political subdivision, or a combination of political subdivisions, elects to serve as the community action agency in its own right, Section 211(a) calls for the estab- lishment of an administering board under the governing officials, and the representation requirements of Section 211(b) will apply to that board. (The tribal government of an Indian reservation will be considered the administering board as well, if there are no other officials or major groups and interests within the community.) - 4 - 4"' - (b) Where a State, a subdivision, or a group of subdivisions designates a separate public agency or a private non- profit organization to serve as the CAA, the representation requirements of Section 211(b) will apply to the governing board of the designated agency or organization. 2/ (2) The Powers of Governing Officials, Governing Boards, and Administering Boards (a) The Powers of Governing Officials and Governing Boards. Section 211(e) of the Act provides that: "The powers of every community action agency governing board shall include the power to appoint persons to senior staff positions, to determine major personnel, fiscal, and program policies, to approve overall program plans and priorities, and to assure compliance with conditions of and approve proposals for financial assistance under this title." Section 211(e) refers to governing boards of all CAAs which are not themselves States, political subdivisions, or agencies which are combinations of subdivisions. In such an agency, the governing board will exercise the powers listed below. However, if a State, a political subdivision, or an agency which is a combination of political subdivisions chooses to serve as the CAA in its own right, its govern- ing officials will exercise the powers listed below unless they choose to delegate the powers in accordance with (b), below. In connection with the community action program, the powers of govern- ing boards or governing officials, as the case may be, must include the following: (i) Appointment of the staff director of the CAA. Note: If the power of formal appointment is given by law to other officials, the sole power to select the person to be appointed is sufficient. (ii) Determination, subject to OEO regulations and policies, of major personnel, fiscal, and program policies. Note: If State or local laws prescribe certain personnel policies or fiscal controls, or entrusts those policies 2/ A public or private non-profit CAA which is directly recognized by OEO, without prior State or local government designation (in accordance with Section 210(d)) must also have a representative governing board under Section 211. OEO will issue guidelines relating to Section 210(d) at a future date. - 5 - to specific officials or agencies (such as a civil service commission or comptroller) that is acceptable, provided that the policies and controls are con- sistent with OEO guidelines, such as those requiring perference for employment of the poor in nonprofessional jobs or employment of the elderly. (iii) Determination of overall program plans and priorities. (iv) Final approval of all program proposals and budgets. (v) Enforcement of compliance with all conditions of OEO grants. (vi) Determination, subject to OEO regulations and policies, of rules of procedure for the governing board or governing officials. (vii) Selection of the offices and executive committee (if any) of the governing board or governing officials. (b) Delegation of Governing Powers. The governing powers outlined in (a) shall not be subject to concurrence, veto, or modification by any other local official or authority, unless pursuant to a delegation of powers by the governing board or the governing officials themselves, as the case may be. Where a CAA is a State, a political subdivision, or an agency which is a combination of subdivisions, the governing powers described in (a) may be delegated to the administering board, and not to any other official or agency. The only exception to this limitation is that responsibility for programs within a specific neighborhood or area of the community may be delegated to an area policy board or council established in accordance with Section E.2 of this memorandum. Where powers are delegated to an area policy board or council, the governing officials should clearly define the relationships between themselves, the area board or council, and the administering board. (c) The Powers of Administering Boards. The administering board of a CAA which is a State, a political subdivision of a State, or an agency which is a combination of subdivisions shall have, at a minimum, the following powers: (i) All powers of the governing officials, as described in (a), which are not directly exercised by those officials or delegated to area policy boards. b - .... (ii) The right to reasonable advance notice of, and an opportunity to make recommendations to the governing officials concerning the exercise of, all powers listed in (a) which those officials have not delegated to the administering" board (for example, nominations for staff director of the CAA). (iii) Supervision of the administration of all OEO policies and standards and of all program, administrative, and financial policies and rules adopted by the governing officials,;" including elaboration, supervision, and en- forcement in the, first instance, of all such policies and rules. (iv) Selection of its own officers, executive committee (if any), and other committees, and (where approved by OEO and provided for in the budget) its own staff to assist in perform- ing its functions. In addition, Section 211(f) of the Act provides that each administering board shall: "(1) have a full opportunity to participate in the development and implementation of all programs and projects designed to serve the poor Ior low- income areas with maximum feasible, participation of residents of the areas and members of groups served, so as to best stimulate and take full advantage of capabilities for self-Advanceu�ent and assure that those programs and projects are otherwise meaningful to and widely utilized by their intended beneficiaries; "(3) be so established and organized that the .poor and residents of the area concerned will be enabled to influence the character of programs affecting their interests and regularly participate in the planning and implementation of those programs; and 7 - "(4) be a continuing and effective mechanism for securing broad community involvement in the programs assisted under this title. Implemention of Section 211(f) requires that each administering board be given advance notice and an opportunity to present to the governing officials its views on all major decisions to be made by them concerning the community action program. Section 211(f) also requires that the governing officials must consult with the administering board concerning means for increasing the participation (including employment) and the influence of the poor in all phases of the community action program. All proposals for financial assistance submitted to OEO shall include a report of the administering board, including a summary of its views on the projects and activities included in the proposal and on other major questions decided by the governing officials since the last previous proposal. In addition, the administering board may communicate directly with OEO at any time concerning matters of current importance. The administering board shall assist the governing officials to establish effective procedures and arrangements enabling the poor and area residents P ng n8 concerned to influence the character of programs affecting their interests, providing for their regular participation in the implemention of those programs, and providing for technical and other support needed to enable the poor and neighborhood groups to secure on their own behalf available assistance from public and private sources. The administering board and the governing officials should also develop methods for evaluating the community action program that provide an adequate opportunity for the poor and area residents to obtain information and to question public or private officials on programs and policies proposed for adoption. The above are minimal requirements. It is expected that in response to the mandate in Section 211 (f), every CAA will establish its own standards for involvement of the poor which may go well beyond the foregoing. Governing officials are expected to provide initiative and give full support to measures designed to give meaning to Section 211(f) within their respective CAA's. Flagrant violation of the above standards or consistent disregard of the views of the administering board and other institutions representing the poor within CAA's may result in partial or total loss of eligibility for funding under Title II, or revocation of OEO recognition of the CAA under Section 210(a) of the Act. - 8 - Every CAA which is a State, apolitical subdivision," or"an agency " which is a combination of subdivisions ,shall include in its , , application for recognition under CA Memo."80, as .evidence of„. compliance with 'the requirements .in this Memorandum, a, Certification of Governing or Administering Board composition (Draft Sample CAP Form 71) explaining clearly and, in reasonable. detaiL the means and procedures by which the CAA intends','to give effect,to Section 211 (f). The requirements set forth above for implementing Section 211(f)- are specifically applicable' to.,administeringrboards established under the governing officials of a State, a' political 'subdvision, or a combs nation of subdivisions which elects to 'serve as a CAA in its own right. Where a separate public: or private, nonprofit agency is designated, how- ever, its governing board will. also be expected 'to 'insure that the underlying policies of Section 211(f)„are" faiihfully observed. - 9 - >_ 1� PART c. COMPOSITION OF GOVERNING AND ADMINISTERING BOARDS The requirements for the composition and selection of governing and administering boards required under Section 211(x) of the Act are set forth in Section 211(b) of the Act: "Each board to which this subsection applies shall consist of not more than fifty-one members and shall be so constituted that (1) one-third of the members of the board are public officials, including the chief elected official or officials or their representatives, unless the number of such officials reasonably available or willing to serve is less than one-third of the membership of the board; (2) at least one- third of the members are persons chosen in accordance with democratic selection procedures adequate to assure that they are representative of the poor in the area served; and (3) the remainder of the members are officials or members of business, industry, labor, religious, welfare, education, or other major groups and interests in the community. Each member of the board selected to represent a specific geographic area within a community must reside in the area he represents. No person selected under clause (2) or (3) of this subsection as a member of a board shall serve on such hoard for more than three consecutive years, or more than a total of six years." The following sections of this part spell out the requirements of Section 211(b). Existing CAAs should note that these requirements apply to present governing boards of those agencies add must be satisfied no later than July 1, 1968 if those agencies intend to operate after that date. 1. The Size of the Board The principal representative board may not have more than 51 members. It should generally have fewer members, since Section 211(d)(2) requires that each CAA establish procedures Mader which community agencies and representative groups of the poor :which feel themselves inadequately represented on the board may petition ;:or adequate representation (See Section 5, below). if a board already had 51 members, such representation could only be provided by the resignation of one or more of its current members so as to provide spaces for the new representatives, 10 - I representation of public officials and at-least-one-third representation of the poor discussed below. The membership of the board should also be divisible by 3 (e.g., 24, 27, 30, etc.), inasmuch as public officials or their representatives will be entitled to one-third of the seats on the board Existing CAA's which have more than 51 members on their represen- tative boards should promptly take steps to reduce the board size. 2. Representation of Public Officials, Section 211(b) (1) One-third of the members of the governing or administering board shall be "public officials, including the chief elected official or officials, or their representatives, unless the number of such officials reasonably available or willing to serve is less than one-third of the membership of the board." Such members shall be designated by the governing officials of the political juris- diction, unless they are chosen to represent independent public agencies; in that event those agencies should select their own representatives. In addition to the chief elected officials or their representatives, every effort should be made to include representation for public officials with responsibilities for programs that are directly involved in anti-poverty efforts, such as public school, welfare, health, housing and urban renewal, and employment service officials. The term "public officials" includes those employees of agencies and members of boards established under State or local law who have the responsibility and authority to decide and carry out the policies of those agencies or boards. However, those public officials who are designated for representation on the governing or administering board of a CAA may, if they wish, choose permanent representatives to serve on the board in their place or in their absence. The representatives need not be public officials them- selves so long as they are entitled to speak and act for the officials whom they represent in connection with the board's business. If the chief elected officials of the political subdivisions or group of subdivisions are greater in number than one-third of the seats on the board, they shall decide how the available seats shall be allotted among them. A plan for equitable rotation of board seats may provide a sensible solution in such a case. In connection with its annual proposal for refunding by OEO, each CAA shall advise the appropriate OEO regional or headquarters office if there is not currently a sufficient number of public officials within the community available or willing to serve on its principal representative board. If the chief elected public officials are currently unavailable or unwilling to serve, a rea- sonable number of positions on the board shall be left vacant for - 11 - at least one year to permit their membership on the board in the event that they change their minds. 3. Representation of the Poor.Section 211(b)(2) At least one-third of the governing or administering board must be made up of democratically selected representatives of the poor, that is, the residents of the areas and members of the groups the community action program is intended to serve. The number of representatives of the poor may be in excess of one- third of the total board membership as long as the requirements of Sections 1, 2, and 5 of this Part are met. The requirements under Clause (2) of Section 211(b) of the Act are in large part the same as those set forth in Community Action Memo No. 57. In existing CAAs previous selection procedures and current representatives of the poor chosen under them will in all probability meet OEO standards under Clause (2). However, the 51-member limitation must also be observed. Although representatives of the poor need not themselves be poor, they must nonetheless be selected in a manner which insures that they truly represent the poor. (a) Area Representatives of the Poor - In cases where the community action program will be concerned primarily with compact geographic areas in which poverty is concentrated, such as neighborhoods or "target areas" of the community, the represen- tatives of the poor shall be selected by the residents of those neighborhoods or areas. All residents of any such neighborhood or area may participate in the selection process, but special emphasis and attention must be given to insuring that those residents who are poor participate fully in the selection process. The number of representatives to be selected from each area of concentration of poverty, in relation to the total number of representatives of the poor on the board, should be reasonably proportionate to the number of poor persons in that area as compared to the number of poor persons in the community as a whole. (b) Non-area Representatives of the Poor - In some communities or parts of communities it may not be feasible for some or all of the representatives of the poor to be selected on a neigh- borhood or target area basis (for example, in a rural community where poor persons are scattered throughout the entire area or, in an urban community where there may be a neighborhood in which 1277-7 - _ .... .a . a poverty is concentrated, but where poor people reside outside such neighborhoods). In such cases, represen- tatives of the poor shall be selected only by the poor persons whom the community action program is intended to serve and who reside outside of areas where poverty is concentrated. The non-area representatives should themselves live outside of any target areas separately represented under (a). The number of such "non-area" representatives, in relation to the total number of representatives of the poor on the board, should also be reasonably proportionate to the number of poor per- sons living outside geographic areas in which poverty is concentrated as compared to the number of poor persons in the community as a whole. (c) Selecting Representatives of the Poor - In the selection process, whether for area or non-area representatives of the poor, there should be maximum possible involvement of the low-income groups and individuals to be represented. Among the selection processes that may be utilized, either alone or in combination, are: (i) Nominations and elections, either within neighborhoods, or within the community as a whole. (ii) Selection at a meeting or conference to which all neighborhood residents, and especially those who are poor, are invited. (iii) Selection of representatives to a community-wide board by members of neighborhood or sub-area boards who are themselves selected by neighborhood or area residents. (iv) Selection, on a small area basis (such a city block), of representatives who in turn select members for a community-wide board. (v) Selection of representatives, either directly or for membership on a neighborhood board, by existing organizations whose membership is predominately com- posed of poor persons. This list is not intended to limit the variety of selection processes that may be used. Any democratic selection process which insures maximum feasible participation of the poor is potentially acceptable. In all cases attention should be given to the fair representation of significant minority groups within the community. 4. Representation of Private Groups and Interests. Section 211(b)(3) In accordance with Clause (3) of Section 211(b), the remainder of the board should consist of officials or members of business, industry, 13 t labor, religious, welfare, education, significant minority groups and other major private groups and interests in the community. These groups and interests should be, selected in such a manner as to insure that the board is a continuing and effective mechanism for securing broad community involvement. Once the groups and interests to be represented have been selected, with OEO's con- currence, their respective representatives on the board shall be chosen by those groups and interests themselves. Boards that are faced with the necessity of a reduction in size in order to comply with the 51 member limitation should insure that they do not eliminate groups that would narrow the range of community involvement and thereby subject the board to the possible loss of eligibility. In communities where the number of major groups and interests exceed the number of available seats on the board, a plan for periodic rotation of representation may be a sensible and equitable arrangement. However, OED policies require that continuing opportunities be provided for the representation of significant minority groups on the board as a whole. As part of their evidence of compliance with this Memorandum (See Part F), CAAs should outline their arrangements or plans for equitable representation of the various private groups and interests within their communities. Specifically, they should explain which groups and interests were considered for represen- tation on the board, which ones will in fact be represented, and what considerations led to their selection. In any case where one of the groups or interests specifically mentioned in Clause 3 of Section 211(b) (business, industry, labor, religious, welfare, or education) or any significant minority group within the community will not be represented on the board, an explanation of that fact should also be provided. OEO will review the arrangements or plans for private interest and group representation and, in any case where it concludes that they are not equitable, OEO will advise the CAA of its reasons and out- line the adjustments needed. 5. Petitions by Other Groups of the Poor or Community Agencies for Adequate Representation on the Governing or Administering Board Section 211(d)(2) of the Act as amended in 1967, provides that the Director of OEO, "...shall require community action agencies to establish procedures under which community agencies and represen- tative groups of the poor which feel themselves in- adequately represented on the community action board or governing board may petition for adequate representation." 14 - f . Ion" This requirement parallels a provision which was in the 1966 Amendments to the Act (See paragraph A.2.d of Community Action Memorandum No. 57), except that it applies to administering as well as governing boards; it applies in favor of private community agencies as well as representative groups of the poor, such as minority groups, the elderly, and rural poor or migrants; and it is now subject to the 51-member limitation of board size. (See Section 1, above). The by-laws or other rules of operation of every com nity action agency must include fair procedures for implementing Section 211(d) (2), and for adjusting and realigning board membership in any case where a petition is granted in order to maintain proper represen- tation of public officials and the poor within the-5l-member limitation. The procedures should provide a fair opportunity (including an informal open hearino for the petitioning agency or group to present its case for more adequate representation and should also provide for a written statement of reasons supporting whatever action is taken on the petition. A copy of this state- ment should be submitted to the appropriate OEO regional or headquarters office promptly after a decision is made. While the petition procedures should be fair and open, they may be designed to prevent plainly frivolous petitions. For example, they may include a requirement that petitions be supported by a reasonable number of signatures such as(50 or 100)of member's of the petitioning group or agency. 6. Selection of Board Representatives vs. Formal Appointment If a community action agency is a State, political subdivision, or a combination of subdivisions, or is a separate public agency, its governing laws may require that board members be appointed by particular public officials, such as the mayor or the council. The rules set forth in this part are not intended to modify those legal requirements, provided that the appointment of board members is treated as a formal step confirming the actual. selection of the board members by those whom they will represent, in accordance with the standards set forth in the preceding sections of this part. - 15 - PART D. OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR GOVERNING AND ADMINISTERING BOARDS 1. Requirements of Area Residence for Area Representatives Under Section 211(b), as under prior law, every member of a governing or administering board who is selectedto represent a specific geographic area within the community must reside in the area he represents. This requirement applies to public officials (or their representatives) who are selected to represent specific political subdivisions, wards, or districts; to repre- sentatives of the poor who are selected to represent the poor within specific target areas or parts of the community which are outside of target areas; and to representatives of community groups or interests which are organized on a geographic basis, such as citizens' associations. 2. Limitations on the Terms of Board Members Other than Public Officials or their Representatives Section 211(b) of the Act provides that members of the board, other than public officials or their representatives, shall not serve for more than 3 consecutive years or a total of 6 years. This applies to representatives of the poor and representatives of private groups and interests, selected under Sections C.3 or C.4 above. Periods of board service after July 1, 1968 will be counted against the 3-year and 6-year limitations. 3. Quorum Requirements In accordance with Section 211(d)(1) of the Act, the quorum requirement for meetings of a governing or administering board must be at least 50 percent of the total membership of the board. 4. Executive or Steering Committees A governing or administering board may appoint an executive or steering committee to transact board business between meetings of the full board. In accordance with Section 211(d) of the Act, such a committee must fairly reflect the composi- tion of the full board in terms of representation of public officials, the poor, and other groups and interests, as well as the various geographic areas of the community. The quorum requirement for such an executive committee must be at least 50 percent of the total membership of the committee. 5. Other Policy-Making Committees: Other committees of the governing or administering board, however established, which have important policy-making or - 16 - AMD i advisory functions, shall fairly reflect the composition of the principal representative board and at least one-third of the members shall be representatives of the poor. PART E. OTHER REPRESENTATIVE BOARDS AND CO*Cn' EES WITHIN COM UNITY ACTION PROGRAMS This part deals with representation on policy-making boards and committees within the community action program which are below the level of the principal representative boards. The policies described below carry out the specific provisions of Section 211(c) of the Act and the basic intent of other provisions in Title II of the Act. 1. Area Policy Boards and Councils Section 211(c) of the Act provides that: "Where a community action agency places responsibility for major policy determinations with respect to the character, funding, extent, and administration of and budgeting for programs to be carried on in a particular geographic area within the community in a subsidiary board, council, or similar agency, such board, council, or agency shall be broadly representative of such area, subject to regulations of the director which assure adequate opportunity for membership of elected public officials on such board, council, or agency. Each community action agency shall be encouraged to make use of neighbor- hood based organizations composed of residents of the area or members of the groups served to assist such agency in the planning, conduct, and evaluation of components of the community action program." (a) The first sentence of Section 211(c) is not applicable to every community action agency or to every area board under a community action agency. It applies only in those cases where the agency chooses to delegate major responsibility for a spectrum of programs or an amount of funds to area councils and boards within certain parts of the community. This occurs most frequently in big cities and in multi-county or multi-subdivision community action agencies where, subject to basic budget allocations between different areas of the community and to certain community-wide rules and policies, boards or councils in different areas are empowered to determine: (i) What Title II Programs shall be operated in their areas; - 17 - 289-849 O-GB-% (ii) By what agencies or groups; and (iii) How the Title II funds allocated to the area shall be divided as between these programs. Where they possess the power to make these decisions, area policy boards or councils serve, in effect, as sub-community action agencies. They may be subsidiary boards of the community action agency itself or they may be boards of separate neighborhood-based organizations such as community corporations or neighborhood centers. In either event, the requirements of Section 211(c) are applicable. (b) Every area board or council which possesses the powers described •in (a) must be broadly and fairly representative of the residents, the different neighborhoods, and the major groups within its area. At least a majority of its members must be representa- tives of the poor residing within the area, unless the area policy board or council serves an entire political subdivision; in the latter event, at least one third of its members must be representatives of the poor residing within that subdivision. The area policy board must also provide adequate opportunity for membership on the board of the elected public officials who reside in or represent the area, in accordance with the following guidelines: (i) Where elections to the general local government or to any other relevant public agency (such as an independent school board or welfare board) are by districts - however denominated - each elected representative from any district which is wholly or predominately within the area shall be offered a seat on the area policy board. If elections for the general government are at large, the local government shall be invited to select one of its members to sit on the board. (ii) The number of public officials on the area policy board shall not in any case exceed one-third of the total membership of the board. In the event that the elected officials described in (i) exceed one-third, the governing officials of the political jurisdiction shall select those entitled to be members of the board. 18 - Subject to the one-third limitation in (ii), provision may also be made for other elected public officials (such as State legislators whose districts include or substantially overlap the area), or for other relevant public officials. Major groups and interests within the area'may also be permitted representation. 2. County Boards of Multi-County Community Action Agencies Where a community action agency serves more than one county and each county establishes its own board for program activities within that county, at least one-third of the members of each county board must be democratically selected representatives of the poor residing within that county. In no event shall more than one-third of the total membership of the board consist of public officials. This requirement is applicable regardless of the powers and functions of the county board. 3. Neighborhood-Based Organizations The second sentence of Section 211(c) of the Act contemplates that neighborhood-based organizations composed of residents of areas and members of groups served by a community action program will play an important role in assisting the community action agency to plan, conduct and evaluate components of the program. OEO encourages community action agencies to make the fullest possible use of neighborhood-based organizations. While these "grass-root" organizations do not possess all of the powers of area policy boards (described in Section 1, above), they have a vital role to play in community action. Moreover, neighborhood- based organizations are as versatile as community action itself. For example, they are particularly appropriate organizations to operate neighborhood centers and activities related to those centers, either as delegate agencies or as divisions of the community action agency itself; similarly, they may conduct one or more other types of component projects within their own neighborhoods; they can serve as constructive monitoring and support groups for the local activities of community-wide projects; they may perform planning functions; and may be given the right to veto or modify proposed program activities within their own neighborhoods. Apart from their versatility, neighborhood-based organizations provide a more direct voice and sense of participation for the poor. In all cases they should, be composed predominately, if not entirely, of the neighborhood residents themselves. One important measure of the success of community action agencies will be the extent to which they entrust genuine program and policy-making responsibility to neighborhood-based organizations and insure through those organizations that the poor are able to influence the character of their community action programs. 19 - n Additional guidance regarding resident participation will be contained in a separate memorandum, to be issued shortly. 4. Policy Advisory Committees for Particular Types of Projects OEO guidelines for certain types of projects--such as Head Start and Neighborhood Health Services--require that every such project establish a policy advisory committee having specific powers and responsibilities. For example, each Head Start project must have such a committee, at least 507. of whose members must be parents of current Head Start children. This committee must concur in any application for new OEO assistance, as well as in the selec- tion of the project director.

The Neighborhood Councils and the Board of Directors of the Con- certed Services Project are.most grateful to the Board of Supervisors for leaving paid the utilities during the past year. For the same rea- son that we made this original request, and under the same terms on which the request tras granted, we request the Board of Supervisors to agree to provide these same utilities during the calendar year 1970, amount not to exceed $7,000 for the full year, We are also, requesting the use of the County tie-line extention on calls to the County Office of O.E.O. in Martinez as part of the local share for such teleV one usage. We are concurrently requesting that the County Housing Authority deliver their commitment of the building and maintenance; and that the City of Pittsburg continue to provide the building with free water and sewer service.

P A A SC H Administration Building C"K goowRo OF SwERVI 651 Pine Street KA A (,.Martinez, Ca. 94553 I would like to call your attention to another sensitive area for the Economic Opportunity Council--the procedure by which professional staff is hired for Central Administration. I would remind you that the EOC Bylaws, which were approved by the Board of Supervisors, assigns to the Executive Committee the task of Personnel Committee: "As Personnel Committee, it shall review and recommend salary schedules, recom- mend job qualifications, review and recommend applicants, and advise on job placement procedures." In line with this, the Executive Committee for a number of months has insisted to Mr. Brusatori that it be allowed to exercise these powers. I'have appointed three members of the Executive Committee to serve as the Personnel Committee--Mr. Willie Dorsey, Mrs. him. Mackintosh, and Mr. Nick Rodriguez. These are all low-income members of the Council representing three different racial groups and three different areas of the County. This group has 'Tied to Function; however, there are several actions wh sch have taken place in the past few weeks which makes it seem like your office is working at cross purposes with this committee. Specifically, this corlmittee recommended. against hiring Mr. Usellis as the new CAP Manager. This was done for a ccuole of reasons: 1) here was the chance to recruit a qualified minority person to landle one of the top jobs in Central Administration, 2) Mr. Usellis' background had been crimarily working with over-privileged youth in private schools, 3) this was the only name left on the Specialist III Civil Service list so there was no chance to interview more than one candidate for the position. Tr.a Personnel Committee feels that it is only a rubber stamp. It has been called together to interview one person for the Manpower Specialist position, anc we understand that the candidate has already been hired! These are the types of actions taken by those who make the personnel appointments for Central Administra- tion that destroy the faith of the EOC in the Central Administration component. Mr. J. P. McBrien Page Two August 22, 1969 I would like to know whether you and your office were aware of the actions of, the Personnel Committee in these last appointments, and if so what you see to be the function of this committee. It is the Executive Committee's feeling that low-income members of the Council must be intimately involved in the selection of staff for Central Administration. We feel that this will help alleviate some of the problems of the past and help us move forward in cooper- ation with your office and the Board of Supervisors. Sincerely, William 0.

P. Kenny and T. J.

P. Kenny this day submitted the report on the matter (on file with the Clerk of the Board) which states that the committee concluded that availability of funds in the central administration accounts is unlikely in view of potential financial commitments against said accounts; that in the opinion of Supervisor Kenny, however, the sum of $2400 in county funds should be made available because of the merit of the program with subsequent effort made to receive federal reim- bursement, but it was the opinion of committee member T. J. Coll that said sum should not be appropriated, even though the camp- ership program is desirable, unless commitment for reimbursement is obtained from federal authorities; and Supervisor Kenny moved that the amount of $2100 be approved to provide camperships; the motion was seconded by Supervisor E. A. Linscheid; and Supervisor A. M. Dias agreed that the program is worthwhile, but indicated that he deemed it inadvisable to ex- pend county funds in view of committee conclusion that a surplus in central administration accout funds was improbable; Thereupon, the Chairman called for a vote on the motion which failed to pass, the vote being as follows: AYES: Supervisors J.

PAASCH ON CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TRA REPROGRAM MING OF FUNDS U' Dep FROM OEO CENTRAL AIDMINISTRATION ACCOUNTS FOR CAMPERSHIP PROGRAM On Tuesday, August 5, 1969, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Social Programs Committee for review the question of reprogramming funds from OEO Central Administration Accounts 01, 03, and 04 from an alleged surplus for the year of $20,000 to $24,000. The committee favors camperships for low income youth as an OEO program but recognizes that the program must be considered in relationship to the total Community Action Program and in line therewith receive priority in relationship to other projects. The current Community Action Program reflects priorities assigned by the Economic Opportunity Council and the present effort is one of seeking to identify the potential of unused funds for reallocation for camperships. The committee believes identification of such funds to be desirable although it questions the propriety of the delegate agency directors seeking to adjust central administration accounts rather than restricting their review to adjustment of their own accounts. The committee has determined that the federal budget for the, central administration accounts for the current fiscal year is $167,862 and that $78,713 of said amount remains unexpended and unencumbered as of June 30, 1969, which based on the same level of expenditures would indicate a balance at the end of the year of about $10,000. The committee has also determined that the expenditures for July exceeded the level of expenditures during the first six months, and reflected in part salary adjustments a ti 2. effective July 1, 1969 and filling of certain vacant positions in central administration. The committee has further determined that potential financial commitments exist against central administra- tion accounts because of the following items: 1. A $6,000 reduction in the services and supplies category by the Western Regional Office of Economic Opportunity at the time the budget was processed. 2. The inadvertent omission of $3,000 required for janitorial services for the OEO utilized building at 1214 Ward Street, Martinez at the time of budget compilation. 3. Expenditures for stipends and baby-sitting for low income members of the Economic Opportunity Council under newly enacted AB 514. 4. Expenditure of several hundred dollars for utilities and related services which will be required if the Office of Economic Opportunity in Richmond is moved, as is presently being advocated. Considering all facets of the situation, it is the conclu- sion of the committee that the availability of federal funds in central administration accounts for reprogramming is unlikely, especially if the last two items are to be implemented. 1 It is the opinion of Supervisor J. P. Kenny, Chairman of the Committee, that the sum of $2,400 in county funds should be made available` for camperships because of the distinct merit of this type of program and that, subsequently, every effort be made to secure federal reimbursement by transfer from any components of the OEO program which may have an unexpended balance, or that a special additional allocation be sought from the federal authorities to cover such reimbursement. It is the opinion of Supervisor T. J. Coll, the other member of the committee, that the county should not appropriate $2,400 for the camperships, even though the program is a distinctly desirable one, unless a commitment for reimbursement is obtained from the federal authorities either through transfer of funds or through the provision of a special additional allocation.

Moriarity and ( Clerk of the Board County Board of Supervisors Martinez, California FROM: Larry Gonzales, Director, OEO Delegate Agency Directors Association SUBJECT: Available money for Camperships Upon checking with the County Auditor, our organization has been informed that the OEO program will develop a potential surplus of unspent funds in the amount of about $20-24,000 for the period July through December 1969 based upon the current rate of expenditures for program accounts 01 - 03 and 04. Many OEO delegate agencies and low income areas are in need of funds to send low income youth to camp. Such a program will assist_ in developing an appreciation for the out of doors, conservation, recrea- tion and work orientation experiences, as well as cooperative living in a democratic group setting. Our agencies desire that the Board advance our program about $2,400 or 10% of the potential surpluses to be reimbursed from the OEO funds when both the money becomes available and the paperwork can be processed. ACTION: Appearance before the Board on Tuesday, Augusc 5, 1969 to request that 10% of the potential surplus funds of the CAA be repro- grammed for campership in the amount of $2,400 with the County advancing these funds to the CAP program account #59 to be repaid when the paper- wrrl can be completed for such a transfer of funds and reimburs-ad to the Board.

P. McBrien, County Administrator ' FROM: Larry Gonzales, Delegate Agencies Association Chairman SUBJECT: Campership funds i i Our group has checked with the County Auditor and found that program ! accounts 01 - 03 - and 04 will develop surpluses of about $4,000 per month for the period July 1 through December 31, 1969 at the present rate of expenditure. Additionally, with the many current vacancies in staff to these program accounts it is possible that the surplus may be much higher. As of this date, these program accounts spent $71,713 for the period January 1 through June 30, 1969 and have available about $96,145 for the period July 1, 1969 through December 31, 1969. This means that these program accounts are spending at the rate of about $11,952 per month while the fundson hand, if spent at the current rate of expendi- ture, allows for $16,024 to be spent. This indicates that a potential surplus between revenue available and current expenditures exist at the rate of approximately $4,072 per month or about $24,000 in the next six months. Conservatively we could then estimate that these pro- gram accounts would accumulate at least a $15-20,000 surplus.

Additionally, with the many current vacancies in staff to these program accounts it is possible that the surplus may be much higher. As of this date, these program accounts spent $71,713 for the period January 1 through June 30, 1969 and have available about $96,145 for the period July 1, 1969 through December 31, 1969. This means that these program accounts are spending at the rate of about $11,952 per month while the fundson hand, if spent at the current rate of expend'- ture, allows for $16,024 to be spent. This indicates that a potentia]. i surplus between revenue available and current expenditures exist at t the rate of approximately $4,072 per month or about $24,000 in the next six months. Conservatively we could then estimate that these pro- gram accounts would accumulate at least a $15-20,000 surplus. Such money would only be credited to our 1970 funding request and could not be reprogrammed in accord with current Regional OEO policies and practices, if not spent at this time. i THEREFORE our agencies are requesting that at least 10% of the potential surplus or $2,400 be reprogrammed and transferred from program accounts 01 - 03 and 04 to program account #59 (Summer Youth Programs) to be used • for campership monies for agencies that have been unable to secure camperships or do not have surpluses of their ourn for such purposes.

Mr . Gonzales : Read letter addressed to Board . We have been before you before and you referred us back to Mr. Brusatori and left us in a position of no action and yourselves in a position of no action . Mr. Linscheid: If you are going to bring charges against Mr. Brusatori you should have him here. Gonzales : These funds are available and we see no reason why they should not be transferred . All we are asking is for you to grant our request. Linscheid : This is a cultural program and I feel since some of these OEO programs fall short of the goal . How do we know OEO would grant approval of this transfer. Gonzales : I do not know what action OEO has taken . The actual process of paper work is within the perogative of the local office 25% of funds may be transferred from any one program. Linscheid : This is the 5th of August. If this is approved and campership programs expire first of September. How many youths would be involved and how about recruiting them. Gonzales : 50-60 youths per agency for one week. Administrator: The first point to decide is if there is any money. In my opinion there is no money available . Particularly ' in view of the fact there is no source of funds . We pay stipends for baby sitting and other amounts out of central administrative account. Projections that were furnished by Auditor prepared on first six months where there were vacancies in the administrative staff. I think the point to be decided here is the county going to z PRO proceed to give money for camperships it must be done with the full knowledge that it is really to be county money. There is no surplus . Gonzales : I would like to challenge that statement . Would like the County Auditor, Mr. McBrien and Delegate Agency and look into that budget. Have the actual papers and budget before us . I am talking about central administrative accounts . Mr. Coll : A decision should be made as soon as possible . Mr. McBrien is certainly cognizant of any moneys available . Refer to Social Programs Committee for report . It will take another week which is going to diminish the amount of time available . Mr. Curry: Speaking as interested citizen . I am concerned about i getting campership program going at this particular time . This money should have been available a long time ago . Time now to take realistic action . Poor peoples jobs are at stake . limexpax .x lextax Mr. Coll : The only thing we can do because there is a conflict z of opinion , we will refer this to the Social Programs Committee for recommendation next week. Mr. Linscheid : Would also suggest another action . Would it be possible to request the Regional OEO to approve this transfer if it is available . Gonzales : Does not need Regional approval . LINSCBEID : All their funds . Have to approve one way or another. Mr. Hammond : The letters from Mr. Gonzales indicate the County Auditor has a figure for potential surplus of $2 ,000-$2 ,400 in central administrative accounts and quite gratuitous to Delegate Agencies to recommend adjustments in central administrative accounts . 2 . I checked this matter with Auditor and I have in writing a statement based on the estimate of expenditure of level of the first balance of $10,000. But as a matter of fact the first six months were so and so but that does not mean the level will be the same in the last six months . Adjusting for the salary increase indicates a maximum of $4,000 remaining and in discussing this with Mr . Brusatori he tells me that there will probably be a deficit of double the amounts not counting stipends and moving the Richmond office. The fact there was $6 ,000 cut for services and supplies by Regional OEO. Best estimate is that the program is going in the red . Motion by Supervisor T. J . Coll , seconded by Supervisor E. A.

T. PAABCH CLaMK n"#10 Or WpK#1VIWS ON RA COa CO. By Dear ?sir. Moriarty: With the recent resignation of former OEO Director Eugene Brusatori, I strongly recommend the following changes in County OEO, none of which were feasible while he was in charge of the office. 1. ABOLISH THE POSITION OF ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST. All except one of the functions assigned to that position are clerical functions or can be eliminated by proper administration of the program. a. Functions such as distribution of mail or filling out personnel forms and reports are done by clerics in other county departments. There is no reason to assign,,-these functions to a $10,000 per year college educated professional. b. Certain functions which were in total chaos when I took the job two years ago have been sytematized to the point of being clerical functions, such as inventory procedures. C. Some functions should riot be done by County OEO staff. For example, the filling out of a technical fiscal form (OEO CAP form 28) should be done by Jack Cabral in the County Auditor's office, who receives and reconciles most information needed to complete the report; and who has better access to knowledge to complete the report than any County OEO employee. d. Certain functions are a waste of time and money but necessitated by inefficient and wasteful administration of the program. For example , I helped design logs which staff used to keep track of memos sent among th@_ 6 professionals in the office. Properly, staff should speak to one another and not write formal memos. Except in -=.w County OEO, * professional staff does not have to prove down to the day, GIS; hour, and minute when he sent to or received from other staff silly memos. e. Many functions were needless duplication of work done by other persons. Delegate agency budet change requests were submitted in writing to �_OP Specialists II, reviewed by them, prepared R Mr. J. Moriart .8/5/69. . .p 2 by the Account Clerk, reviewed by the Analyst, reviewed by the Specialist III, reviewed and signed by the OEO Director, reviewed and approved or rejected by the Auditor-Controller. A more sensible procedure would eliminate both the Analyst and Specialist III role in this process. These are a few examples for your perusal. Upon request I would be glad to send more examples. 2. Make the effective date of Mr. Brusatori's transfer immediate. His presence in the oftice is divisive inso ar as program objectives are concerned. He does not have the confidence of those he needs to carry out program objectives. a. In recent months you have seen much evidence that Mr. Brusatbii does not have confidence of those with whom he must work. His professional staff resigned en masse in disgust. The EOC Executive Committee twice recommended firing him--unanimously. Regional OEO bypassed County OEO twice to fund Neighborhood House directly for large projects. The Board of Supervisors bypassed County OEO as sponsor of the important CEP program. These actions speak louder than hollow words of praise about his job performance. b. The contention that Mr. Brusatori is needed to write the 1970 OEO application is faulty. The one remaining professional did the work last year and is fully capable of handling this year. There are many persons in the area capable of doing it very well. The work is time consuming and sometimes tedious, but it is not so difficult and complicated as some would make it out to be. 3. Revise the job description of the OEO Director. The former director was hired in 1964 as a Program Development Director. In 1969, the main emphasis has to be on properly administering and improving existing ones, not on developing new ones. The skills required of today's director are markedly different from those required of yesterday*s. a. While there is some need to keep abreast of new programs and funding sources, it is not the primary function of the office. Much more stress is needed in such areas as training OEO aides so they can get out of their dead-end jobs; fiscal controls in both delegate agencies and central office (central office books are not even kept in a double entry It system!) ; planning and Air. J. Moriarty. . .8/5f69.. .p 3 evaluation of ongoing programs. b. A different person is needed in 1969 to supervise a staff of 24 professionals, aides, and clerks from the type of person who was needed in 1964 to run a one-man office. The skills are different, and the manner of supervison of each group must also be different. C. The new Director should be attuned totthe methods of dealing with poverty and the low AJ- income community as understood today and one who utilizes the discarded methodsfand theories- of the 1950*s, 1940ts, and 1930*s.

Martinez, California oy Dear Mr. Moriarty: It has come to the attention of the Regional Office of Economic Opportunity that the Executive Director of the Contra Costa Economic Opportunity Council has resigned and his resignation has been accepted by the appropriate bodies. We would appreciate receiving formal notice of administrative vacancies, including the date effective and projected replacement date. The Regional Office is concerned that all CAAs are properly staffed since the quality and quantity of staff directly affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the CAP. Accordingly, please be assured of our willingness to work with you in securing administrative placements. One of the services our office is prepared to secure for you, should you desire, at no cost to you, is the assistance of the firm of Maichle & Wytmar, Inc. , Executive Recruiting Consultants. This firm has a contract with Regional Office to provide individually tailored executive search, recruitment and placement services for about 180 selected CAAs which have a specific need for such services in connection with filling of actual or potential executive director position vacancies with highly motivated and qualified or qualifiable candidates. It is expected that similar services would be extended to the positions of deputy executive director, comptroller, personnel manager, and manpower developer. The objective is part of OEO's longer range purpose which is to establish a nationwide systematic and viable means of facilitating optimum job/candidate matching at CAA executive director and subordinate levels which, in turn, is viewed as being a direct and a substantial positive means for achieving the ultimate purposes, goals, and objectives of the Community Action Program. This is done through working with the local Community Action Agency in identifying qualities needed, developing job descriptions, criteria for selection, screening, ect. , and recommending applicants to the Community Action Agency for ultimate selection. Mr. Wytmar will be in California this Tuesday, August 5. If you are interested in exploring utilizing his services, please call me Monday f -2- afternoon or Tuesday before noon so I might arrange a conference. My number is (415) 556-7$95. It is our assumption that both the Governing and Administering Boards will be actively involved in the selection of your new administrative staff. I look forward to working with and hearing from you.

T. PAASCH Martinez, California CLERK ARo SUPERVI S OSTA To: Board of Supervisors Date; August 4, 11 °`Y From: J. P. McBri Subject: Resignation of John Lake from County County Admin rato Office of Economic Opportunity The following facts are submitted with reference to the letter of Mr. John Lake to Mr. William O. Smith, dated July 29, 1969, pertaining to the staffing of the County Office of Economic Opportunity. 1. Mr. Lake has been employed by the County Office of Economic Opportunity since March, 1968; he was assigned on a permanent basis in April, 1969. On June 4, 1969 Mr. Lake indicated his intent to resign so that he might accept a teaching contract commencing in September, 1969 and because he had been employed in OEO related programs for five years. His resignation has been accepted effective August 29, 1969, and a replacement named from the civil service examination list. 2. Staffing of the County Office of Economic Opportunity has been, and will continue to be, based on placement of competent appli- cants; that is, candidates with the required minimums of training and experience for the different level positions in that office. The fact is that the professional positions are highly complex ones, that a substantial share of these professional positions have been filled by a number of persons from a minority background, and that most of these employees have resigned to accept even higher positions in other agencies. / -� ,./1 --h..c,. ,�.�VL{,c.,---- ` -' •-,•--�-t,.trc'y:'•'�S..C��'l,._. ...r,,,....C.� w'._G�'-- -Co•—,rte'—%:.. '''i`0`" / Board of Supervisors 2. August 4, 1969 3. Within the limits of candidates qualified for the various positions in the office, significant efforts have been made to obtain candidates of minority background; in this connection, it should be pointed out a minority group candidate has just recently been appointed to the Headstart Health Ser- vices Coordinator position and another will be hired on August 123. 1969 in the classifi- cation of Economic Opportunity Program Specia- list II. 4. A substantial portion of the positions in the County Office of Economic Opportunity are presently filled by employees of minority backgrounds. Many of these employees are located in Pittsburg and Richmond, where the employees live and where most of their work is performed. The Administration and Finance Committee, the Personnel Director, the Acting District Attorney, and I are presently studying procedures to be followed in selecting a replacement for Mr. E. R. Brusatori as Director of the Economic Opportunity Program. It is premature to speculate on the outcome, although it is clear that controls on appointment and removal to the position will continue to apply as long as the Office of Economic Opportunity is a component of the County government.

P A A S C H Mortinez, California CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONT COST CO. To Board of Supervisors Dote: July 18, From: J. P. McBrien, Subject: Resignation of E. R. Brusatori County Administrator Some time ago Mr. E. R. Brusatori approached me with respect to resigning as Economic Opportunity Program Development Director, as you will see from the copy of his January 15, 1969 letter attached. I withheld action on the request of Mr. Brusatori because of the large number of urgent Economic Opportunity .matters which were pending, because suitable plans had to be made for his replacement, and because alternate suitable arrangements for his continuance in the county service had to be developed. With respect to the latter, tentative arrangements have now been made with Mr. R. E. Jornlin, County Welfare Director, for the transfer of Mr. Brusatori back to the Welfare Department, with which he has some fifteen years of service. Transfer is proposed at the same salary level in a special classification In the nature of a special assistant to the Director. With respect to the first matter, contracts for the Community Action Program for the current year are largely complete; it appears to me, therefore, that now is the appropriate time to act on this matter. 11r. Brusatori desires that the move be made as soon as practicable, taking into account orderly arrangements for his replacement. Mr. Brusatori has served as Economic Opportunity Program Development Director for more than four years and, in fact, for a period longer than any other person serving in that capacity in the State of California - and probably in the United States. No one individual has given as unstintingly to the local Economic Opportunity Program as has Mr. Brusatori, and much of the progress which bas been made is the result of his efforts. It should be noted that the incumbent of the position of Economic Opportunity Program Development Director is subject to constant pressure from diverse interests and directions and cannot please everyone and still provide proper leadership -for the program. A ` Board of Supervisors 2. July 18, 1969 Your acknowledgment of the resignation or' Mr. Brusatori is suggested. The effective date of his resignation will be determined by my office in relation to the recruitment of his replacement. - 4: a JPMcB/hs enc 1. cc. J. E. Horiarty J. P. Kenny A. M. Dias T. J. Coll T.

California 94553 1 (,fano gi Cacnty A4%ai;ti"1IR'4r As discussed with you some time ago, I would like to submit my resignation as Economic Opportunity Program Development Director, effective the Spring of 1969, subject to provision for an orderly transfer of re- sponsibilities and assignment to other suitable employment within the county system. I do desire to continue in county employment in which I have a number of years of service. The Community Action Program from its- inception has been a focal point of conflict and controversy. The position of Economic Opportunity Program Development Director, characteristically, involves a number of significant pressures and sustained demands upon the energies of the incum- bent. A recent re-appraisal of the continued demands and pressures associated with the position over a four year period of time, leads me to the con- clusion that they have been sufficient for me as a person, and as to the disproportionate affect on my family responsibilities and concerns. Lest there be any doubt, I do intend to see through to final resolu- tion, the hearings before the Executive Committee of the Economic Opportunity Council . This statement is submitted for the personal reasons alluded to without regard to the outcome of that matter.

PASA SPECIAL COMMITTEE ay r ° pER r ON REQUEST OF `- Co sons WILLIE F. DORSEY ~ Depl t, TO RELOCATE RICHMOND OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY On February 251, 1969 the Board referred to a special commit- tee of Supervisor A. M. Dias and Supervisor J. P. Kenny the request of Mr. Willie F. Dorsey to relocate the branch office of Economic Opportunity now in the basement of the City Hall in Richmond to a rental location at 1217 Macdonald Avenue, Richmond. Investigation has determined that this move has neither been requested nor approved by the Economic Opportunity Council but is being advocated to make the Richmond Office of Economic Opportunity more accessible and to provide space for the Iron Triangle-North Richmond Area Council. The committee has also determined that the proposed rental building is owned by the Richmond Redevelopment Agency which pro- poses to demolish it in six months to one year. In the meantime the Redevelopment Agency will rent the space for $10 per month, which the City of Richmond is willing to absorb if provision for utility and janitorial services can be made at the expense of others. In this connection a plan which has been discussed informally involves the county defraying the utilities and the area council assuming responsibility for janitorial services. The committee has determined that there are certain prob- lems with the proposal as follows: 1. The Office of Economic Opportunity and Economic Opportunity Council have not taken a position on relocation of the Richmond office. 2. No provision has been made for funding the utility costs of the rental location. Y 2. 3. Provision of space for the Iron Triangle-North Richmond Area Council, while an outgrowth of relocation of the area office of Economic Opportunity, may trigger requests for space from other area councils. 4. The short-range nature of the relocation and the lack of a future space plan for the area office raises a question about the wisdom of the proposed move. Considering the above facets of the situation, the committee is of the opinion that action on the proposal should be deferred until a firm determination on desirability of the relocation is made by the Office of Economic Opportunity and Economic Opportunity Council and'provision made for the utility costs in, federal funds allocated for the Economic Opportunity Program for Program Year D.

California March 3, 1969 TO: Eugene Brusatori, Economic Opportunity Director FROM: H. Donald Funk, Auditor-Controller ib j SUBJECT: Delegate Agency Payments for March, 1969 l:'e estimate that there is on hand a balance of at least $70,000 of Year C funds remaining as of February 28, 1969, after making an allowance for program costs not yet received in this office. $23,000 of these funds were reprogrammed into Year D and can be used immediately to pay March expenses. The remaining $42,000 can be borrowed to pay %larch expenses with the requirement that it be repaid when Year "D" funds are received. A review of the budgets for the agencies without outside resources indicates that this $70,000 available will be sufficient to pay operating expenses of these agencies for the month of March. The agencies with outside resources, school districts and county operated programs, as is normal, will not be reimbursed for March expenses until Year D progrzim funds are received. As requested by you in your memorandum to us of 3/5/68, we could advance funds -- within the above limitations -- to the agencies not having outside resources upon receipt of a copy of the contract signed by the agency and approved by the district attorney, and receipt of a board order authorizing the board chairman to sign the contract upon which payment is to be based.

A signif- icant portion of this fund transfer simply reimburses our project for funds removed from it earlier in 1968. In addition, you directed that a report of the accomplishments of this Department's project be submitted to you prior to the exectuion of the Delegate Agency agreement for said project for Program Year D (1969) . Project staff has, for some time, been scheduled to make such a pre- sentation before the Board of Supervisors on Januar 28. We trust that that presentation on the 28th will sa isfy your direction de- scribed in the paragraph above. In addition, we are enclosing a three page statement regarding program and accomplishments of the Job Development and Training Project, for your current review. This statement was recently prepared, for the County Board of Edu- cation, and we believe it covers essentially the information you requested in your December 31 action.

The Problems 1. Large numbers of poor people in Contra Costa County have little likeliehood of securing steady employment due to their severe short- age of marketable job skills and their lack of attitudinal prepara- tion for the world of work. Even occupational areas where job openings are relatively plentiful and entry requirements are not high are closed to many of this County's target area residents. 2. On the other hand, there is clear evidence that in one of the nations richest industrial counties, the employment resource is capable of profitably utilizing many more persons from disadvan- taged backgrounds than it presently does. 3. There is a serious shortage in this County of practical, occupa- tionally oriented, short-term training programs that aasuree Sobs to those who successfully complete the training. 4. There is a definite need to provide the education, motivations, and practical considerations necessary to open up existing jobs and develop new jobs available to those from the disadvantaged community or without strong employment experience. B. Project Objectives 1. In the language of the anti-poverty bureaucracy this Is a "Manpower Project." In simple English this is and always has been a project designed to stimulate the establishment of training programs for low Income people, training programs that provide jobs instead of diplomas for graduates. If we accept this as the basic objective of the project, we see that it is directly in line with two of the CAA's four prior- ities for 1969. An excellent example of an accomplishment toward this project's objective of training unemployed or under-employed, low income people for jobs took place in August. At that time the Board of Supervisors approved a training program developed by this project to train and place low intone people in jobs in the distribution Indus- tries - warehousing, inventory control, shipping and receiving, etc. After receiving approval from the Board of Education, we were able to present the program to the Board of Supervisors in a manner suffi- ciently convincing to move them to fund it through a county-wide tax levy that will provide the $60,000 necessary to operate it. This $60,000 in local money directed toward alleviation of poverty con- ditions, incidentally, represents about j 1/2 times the total 1968 - 2 - federal grant for this project. The programs the capacity to place approximately 120 persons in the coming year. At this early date 33 jobs are already assured by local employers for the program's grad- uates. 2. A second and related objective of this project is to serve, insofar as possible, in a coordinative and supportive capacity for other job training activities in the County. Our close association with the County's educational establishment and our research capacity make this objective reasonably attainable. Again using a recent activity as an example, we would point to a publication enclosed with this report. It is the first attempt in the County to provide a comprehansive directory of available job train- ing opportunities. It lists the 150 or so programs, their content, prerequisites, costs or stipends available, contact persons, etc. It should prove an invaluable tool for all persons in public and private organizations concerned with increasing the economic lot of tho-dis- advantaged elements in the community. 3. To bring about a new level of attention to low income training prob- lems among educators with particular emphasis on directing educa- tional resources toward meaningful job training. 4. To assure a steady job to every successful graduate of any training program generated by this project. C. Progran Priorities Specifically, we will seek to: 1. Develop additional programs similar to the recently funded dis- tributive industries training program described above. Such pro- grams may be funded from a variety of sources. 2. Perform the work necessary to assure second year funding of the distributive Industries training prggram. 3. Maintain regular updating of our directory of job training programs and publish such additional action-oriented research material as is needed, as determined by our own assessment or request of OEO in Martinez or other training-employment organizations In the County. 4. Continue our efforts to bring employers in the County into direct, meaningful participation in employment and job upgrading programs for low income persons. Current efforts along these lines include the establishment of the Contra Costa Industry-Education Council, Industry advisory committees for the automotive training programs in Pittsburg and the distributive industries training program and extensive person to person contact between project staff and employ- ers in developing job slots for graduates of training projects. * - 3 - i 5. Serve as an available resource to OEO in Martinez, other delegate agencies and other anti-poverty oriented organizations in the County to assist in the planning and development of manpower training pro- grams or special phases of them. Recent examples include consultation with Neighborhood Nouse concerning special training aspects of the New Careers Program and development and recruiting for the educa- tion and counseling clement of the highly successful Summer Fire- man Apprentice Program conducted by the Contra Costa County Consol- idated Fire District. D. Recent Accomplishments 1. 110 target area residents have secured steady jobs in local business and industry as a result of training programs initiated _ by CAP 7-23. An additional 43 persons have returned to school or college. Only 3.5% of those completing our training programs remain unemployed. 2. This project has generated almost twice as much local money into the war on poverty as the total of all Federal grants made to the project. This local money has gone into the funding of job training programs which will continue to operate without cutting into Federal OEO funds, thus keeping the Federal funds free to support grass roots programs. 3. Publication of the first comprehensive listing of job training opportunities in Contra Costa County. 4. Organized and provide continuing administrative support for the Contra Costa County Industry-Education Council, a group of major employers and educators seeking improved methods to prepare per- _ sons for successful employment in industry. 5. Assistance to numerous low income organizations in developing job training portions of their programs. E. Conclusion The Board should be aware that this project is the only one in the CAP package that has a public body as its delegate agency. We do not be- lieve that any project In the CAP package can be all things to all people. Certainly this project cannot. In its function as a practical effort to put together programs that enable the jobless to become em- ployed, however, we believe there is great merit in maintaining a close relationship with the public agencies having the greatest capacity for supplying the skill training so desperately needed by those outside the economic mainstream. We believe that continued inclusion of this atypical component in the CAP package will materially enhance the overall effectiveness of the anti-poverty thrust in Contra Costa County in 1969.

BY ---------_._.........---___ Deputy My name is Hank Royal, Director-in-Training of the o Organization Project. Introduction North Richmond, Parchester, the Iran Triangle, and South Richmond comprise Target Areas unified by similar social-economic con- ditions. North Richmond is an unincorporated neighborhood which is 98% Black. The Iron Triangle fe the core of the deteriorati&9 "inner city"'. The Southside is fast becoming an all-Black area. Parchester is a part of Richm&A and 996 Black. These four com- munities contain the major part of the social and economic de- privations found in the western portion of Contra Costa County. At present, two-thirds of the Black residents in Richmond live within the target communities. The severe blight affecting these areae is typical of poverty communities. Low income and high levels of unemployment are major characteristics. There is an extremely high incidence of public assistance and poor housing, factors which are obviously inter- kelated. School, health, and crime problems are all corollar- ies of the former. One of the most desperate n.eede within these communities in for the residents to become aware and knowledgeable of the services which are available to them, particularly the services created to combat major poverty problems. As a result of being informed, residents will be able to take greater advantage of the existing services, to demand im- provement if these services are inadequate, to create a flexi- bility within the agencies in instances of excess rigidity, and to initiate action for new serviees when necessary. Once the residents find solutions to sone of their basic problems, .L they can be motivated to become participants in the civic pro- ceases and activities which shape their lives. It is to. the and that low-income people can shape their own destinies that we consider that community development. —2— Comcuunity Organization is a process designed to bring about and maintain a progressively more effective balance between community resources and community needs. Community Organization is concerned with the discovery and defining those needs# the elimination and prevention of social and economic problems, and the matching of social and economic resources to needs through a continuing changing or readjustment of these resources to meet changing needs. The Community Organization Project is in its second month of operation. The Project is funded by the Department of Labor under the New Careerist Program. It is staffed by ten lbw-income persons who receive their salary from the Labor Department, NYC secretaries as clerical aides and myself, who is paid out of other Neighborhood House funds. This program will deal with three specific areas: community education, community development and community communi- cation. In the area of education, two steps will take place. The ultimate goal of the Community Aide is an A. A. Degree in the field of Social Service or Sociology. The first step to obtain- ing this degree will be six weeks of basic education sponsored by CEP Basic Education Department. Aides that are determined as college material will be enrolled in Contra Costa College on the 3rd of February. .Any other Aide that needs more basic education will be required to do no, Hopefully, through their own initiative, they will attend a four-year college. These workers will be assigned in the target areas mentioned in the Introduction. The other step is community education. In order to heighten civic awareness and participation, professionals and specialists in such fields as government, industry* social service and business will be brought in to share their expertise with community people in discussion of such concerns as civic issues, human rights, community improvement, employment, and education. This will be accomplished through frequent small group nieetin8vand workshops within the target area. Page Two Through creating a sense of awareness of problems that minority communities face, and getting these workers to be highly involved as supporters to those who are not involved, and making people realize their own destiny and goals and obtaining them is the ultimate goal of Community Organization and of this Project. Beside the academic study of each worker, they will also be given in-service training techniques of group work, interview- ing, determing interest, group dynamic, writing reports, and follow up on referrals to service agencies. Various phases of this in-service training will be con- ducted by Neighborhood House key staff and staff of the Western Center for Community Education and Development. COMMUNICATION The essential element in the success of any education process is communication. Through their functions, the community workers will assist in narrowing the communication gaps which exist between target area residents and the policy-decision makers outside of the target areas. A local community newspaper edited by a target area resident and published through the North Richmond Neighborhood House will print vital information concerning meetings, newly established agency policies, names and information of city and county officials and their function, and other pertinent data. Video tape equipment is presently available to all target areas as another medium of communication. Our experience with video-tape has proven it to be a perfect medium through which communicative skills can be enhanced. Personnel interviews, meetings, informal talks with people on the street and/or in their homes can be recorded and filmed in one area and immediately be shown in other target areas. Video tape will be of special value in sharing information of busy officials who cannot possibly be available to the residents of all areas. `. "'• ,, fey- ,r rr .. _. ._..,. ... ... ..,.... .. .. .. ,. . i Page Three The last area of involvement is community development. Being successful in the other two area (education and communication) , community development will take place with this project only providing the leg work and technical assistance« However, before meaningful civic participation takes place, certain basic needs such as adequate housing, income,. health facilities, etce must be met. In addition, the citizens of a community must be aware of and have experience in the methods and procedures necessary to translate their needs into fruitful action. Exposure provides experience; experience develops "know how" and confidence. Ultimately the community people will understand the techniques and mechanics of effective participa- tion; and what is more important, the people will realize and establish long-range goals for action. The establishment of specific plans for action and priorities must and will come from the community if that action is to have meaning. Provided with knowledgeable resources, accurate information, and moral support, residents of depressed communities will become aware of the avenues amtlable to them. Once this awareness takes place, people will move to bring about the necessary and desirable changes. We are hoping to make personal contact 'with a minimum of 10,000 families within the target area. - NeSgbbo�bood House 1595 Nortb Jade Street Richmond, California This speech was made to the Contra Costa County r.' Board of Supervisors on January 21 , 1969 by 1 Mrs. Lucy Brown, Youth Program Director Good morning, I an Mrs, Lucy Brawn, Youth Program Director, I have been working with the Youth Program for the past three and one half years. I was initially hired under the New Careerist Program as a youth worker. All of our youth program staff members are- community people. Our staff consists of six adult youttr supervisors and two clerical workers. In addition, we have tbree Work Study Students from Contra Costa College, five regular part time workers and twenty-one youth staff members who work with other youth. Our p--agraa %as previously designed prirarily for '%=or hien and high school youth. Ve have found through our years of experience, that we need to reach a child before his de- velopment patterns are set. Most of the youth who leave the elementary school, which is located within the community and is predominately black, are insecure and need the opportunity to adjust to the situation of moving from an f all black school to an integrated one. During the past. year, because of the problems that the youth encounter wben they enter junior high, our emphasis has changed and we bow been working with elementary through high school youth. The overall goals we have attempted to accomplish ares To work effectively with youths of junior high and senior high school age to help them define their common concerns and problems and to assume responsibility for developing programs to meet these problems and show them ways that one - can solve problems through oommunioation rather than violence, i.e. they learn to express their feelings in a mature way and to speak to pmups and other races about their problems. • RECEIVED • JAN 21 13619 W.•T. PAASCH CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTRA COSTA CO. BY �D�1/ ­2- adult supervisor is responsible for at least three groups with an average of 15 children per group. A number of the youth staff members are responsible for their own groups of elementary age girls and boys. The older girls are able to work with the elementary age girls in many ways; namely, teaching them bow to sew, play piano, arts and crafts, tutoring in basic arithmetic, reading, *too The older boys are working with the elementary age boys in sports and also as "big brotbers". The younger boys had an opportunity this summer to go biking, swimming, overnigbt camping and other activities. Other activities meeting bore are: Family Service Clinic, meets twice a month; Vell-Baby Clinic, twice a month; a female probation officer meets with girls who have delinquency prob- lems on Thursdays; Girl Scouts and Blue Birds meet once a week; a weight reduction group of mothers will begin the first week in February. Other program activities we have ares A group of young boys, 139 14 and 15 year olds, who meet with representatives from the Contra Costa COunty Sheriff's Depart- ment for group activities; a Photo Group, which is receiving instructions on the basics of photography by a professional photographer, and a sports progrem for boys. Ve also take a group of approximately forty boys to the Richmond Boys' Club twice a week. Ve have a juvenile delinquency prevention program which is funded by Contra Costa County. This progren Is for youth on probation, potential delinquents and youth with school problems, etc. It is the feeling of the Youth Program staff that the program has been quite successful, although none of the staff Is satisfied that the work is finished but is just beginning. One goal our program has accomplished is positive coamtni- cation between our youth and other youth. They have shown the white community that they are Interested in self help and not just looking for a handout. The. youtb have further demion- strated their awareness- tbrougb a film, "From The Inside Out", I -3- a documentary which tells with unnerving candor what it's like to be a Negro teenager on the streets, in the schools and in the new programs built for youth that have come out of the Poverty Program. This film has been shown on television several times and all over the United States. The ex-Vice* President, H. H. Humphrey, purchased a copy of this film. Some of the former youth staff members have been employed by the Concentrated Employment Project, one has been employed by the Model Cities Program of Richmond and one is presently working as the Receptionist for the Youth Program at Neigh- borhood House. Ve have a tutorial program but due to the inadequkte space we are only able to serve 145 youth. Uith additional space, we would be able to expand the program to six days per week instead of four days. tIe have submitted a proposal for funds to run a tutorial program. The Friends of North Richmond a group of Caucasians who reside in other communities, from Danville to Oakland, who have been working with Black people from the community to help them improve the recreational facilities and educational system withib the community, are in the process of getting a building to house the tutorial program. Ile are also providing transportation for junior high school youth to Chevron Research three days a week for tutoring. Due to the inadequate educational system at Verde School and other schools in the area, the tutorial program should be held every evening during the week in order to bring up the academic level of the children so that they may fit into society. During the past two summers we have had a program called A.B.C. Ifest, which to a special school program for sixth graders to attend Contra Costa College for six weeks of in- tensive and individual training. Also during the summer we have a number of programs for the youth. Then our emphasis is placed on employment for as many youths as possible. During the past summer we wore able to find employment for approximately 160 youth. We also were able to employ sixteen adults during the suer as super- visors. We are presently making pians to have the parents of the Youth staff attend Joint discission meetings with the staff, and youth every two months. Those msotings.will be held' at - the convenience of the parents. Thediscussionswill be is- formal and guest speakers will be invited from the 0.2„00 office, Contra Costa College, Standard Oil, business schools and other speakers the parents and youth are Interested',in having. I would like to take this opportunity to extend ah invitation to you or representatives from your office to visit our program at 1595 North Jade Street. Our office hours are 8:30 a--m- until 9.:00 p.m.., Monday through Friday. If you are interested in seeing some of the films the youth have produced, please feel free to contact- us. If funds are available, please fool free to donate them to the Youth Program. Vo also would appreciate personal donations. MOTTO OF STAFF We learn by doing.

CLERK 130ARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTRA COSTA CO BY OeP� There are four programs at Neighborhood House that we have grouped under the heading of Manpower Development. They are: New Careers, Mainstream, On-the-Job Training, and Maintenance. As the name implies, we are in the process of developing manpower. This is done in a veriety of ways. Lets take New Careers. New Careers is a program aimed specifically at the chronically unem- ployed and people on public assistance. New Careers makes a contract with other agencies that ofrer public services, such as Public Wel- , f3.-e , Police Department , and California State Employment, to place a certain number of people there as trainses, %and it is expected that after their period of apprenticeship they will be kept on as full-v' time employees. These trainees are given on-the-job training, and at- the same time are required to enroll in some program that up- grades their academic skills. As part of this, requirement, many of our trainees are enrolled in college. 1 In less than a year, New Careers has placed bl people with various public service agencies. fifty-five (55) of these were Negroes and six (a) were fi7exican-American. It is expected that by January 27th ancther thirty-three (33) will have been placed in full-time employment.

Mainstream is a very new program and as of now there are no enrollees. But we do have a Full staff and expect to be operating at full speed very soon. (3) On-Job-Training is similar to New Careers in concept it' .too is aimeH, at the hard-core unemployed and clients receive on-the-job training. Here clients are recruited individually and placed with individual employees for on-the-job training. ' The recruitment is aimed at people who don' t have the necessary skills for the job market but dam have the potential for acquiring those skills. In many cases the employer receives a rebate from the Government, but is urder no obligation to retain the client after the training period has ended. Our interest of this client does not end after having placed him on an on-job-}raining position. If this client is not retained by the employer who trained him, we provide assistance in helping him find permanent full-time employment. Last year we- placed over 300 people . in full-time employment. We have a program with Cor,;.ra Costa College in which twenty (20) of our clients with Spanish su_names who could not speak English were given a crash course in that subject and eventually placed in permanent employment. ( 4 Mair•tenance is a program aimed at young men. most of whom are nigh schodi drop-outs. ' Here they receive a kind of introduction tree w-.zk world. They are helped in developing a sense of re- sponsibility and positAive work attitudes. most of the positions - are pa=t-time and are not intended to be permanent, but to serve as a kind o- training ground.

The matter of the availability of federal funds with which to make the payments was also discussed, and it was pointed out that there were no funds set up within the proposed allocation for the central administration project component to cover the payments. It was suggested that the Economic Opportunity Program Development Director also discuss this matter with the Western Regional Office of Economic Opportunity. The Administration and Finance Committee suggests that the foregoing proposals be pursued and that the matter be dropped as a committee referral. If no action can be taken on the bases indicated, the matter can be referred back to a board committee at a later date. E. A. LINSCHEID A. M.

We would like to re- quest that OE-0 allow reimbursement for all necessary meetings for lora income persons, and we would welcome your support in pleading this case before our Regional Office. I would also like to make a request that as the Board of Supervisors establishes a Comprehensive Health Program for this county, that you be sure to appoint representatives from each of the Area Councils to this committee. The low income person has been left out in terms of health planning in the past, and 1 would lilce to assure you that they have a great deal to con- tribute in planning for the overall needs of our people. Low income people should also be represented on the Executive Com- mittee. I hope that you will make provision for this in your plan. Sincerely, v t•:illiam 0. Smith 0 EOC Chairman IIOS/js cc: E.

P.

(17 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen. 161 (1951) No. 51-10) In 112 Ops. Cal. Atty. . Gen. 25 (1963) No. 63-132, the Attorney .General explained the language of Government Code Section 23003 as follows: "The word 'necessarily ' in this context must be taken to mean all those powers necessary to achieve the ends and purposes of the express power. " Government Code Section 25210, within Title 3, specifies the powers of counties as follows with reference to the Economic Opportunity Act : "-he board of supervisors may do and perform all acts necessary to enable the county to participate in the 'Economic Opportunity Act of 19641 , including the authorization of the expenditure by the county of whatever funds that may be required by the federal government as a condition to such participation. " In terra o the opinions of the Attorney General discussed above, it would appear that the power of the Board of Supervisors to male payments of expenses and stipends to members of the Economic Opportunity Council and Area Councils would depend upon whether or not a power to make such payments is necessary to achieve the ends anld purposes of Section 25210. Ir_ December, 190'7, the Economic Opportunity Act was amended to _equ .e that all community action agencies administer their programs t roug:^. a community action board having specified characteristics. AmOng those requirements are the following: "at ?east one-third of the members (board) are persons chosen in accordance with democratic selection procedures adecuate to assure that they are representative of the poor in the area served. " (42 USCA 2791, February, 1968 Supplement to Pocket Parts) -2- J. P. ::c Brien August 5, 1968 7n Convra Costa County, the community action board is the Economic Onporzunit,y Council, and the representatives of the poor on the Council ::r. elected by area councils in local places where poverty is a sl�ni_leant social problem. The interaction of these area councils and the Economic Opportunity Council represents the pro _-nm adopted in ;.his county to meet federal requirements for direct participation by the poor in planning and administering co=unity action programs. Under the requirements o: 42 USCA 2791 and the applicable OEO ra:,Iations , the proceedings of the area councils and the Economic Opportunity Council are a necessary condition to the right of the county to participate in the economic opportunity program. AZ the Economic Opportunity Council and the area councils are "necessary to enable the county to participate in the "Economic. Opportunity nct of 1964" , it follows that the County has an implied power under Government Cote Section 23003 to make such payments to members of the EconoMic Opportunity Council and Area Councils as are author- ized under the federal program. Our conclusion as to the county 's legal power to make such payments is in acro_-; wit- a recent opinion of the Attorney General discussing po:•:e.s of ti:e Counties under the federal economic opportunity act, and u-::oldinj a procedure authorized by federal law under the act, 'but proibited by state law: "California has adopted a number of statutes designed to enable the State, Counties, and cities to participate in Economic Opportunity programs. . . The California Supreme Court has stated that (state) statutes enacted to secure 'ederal-state cooperation must be construed as a unit with the basic federal statute." 48 Ops.C.al.Atty.Gen. 129 (1966) No. 66-273 T.'-.-- 'antioned Attorney General opinion quotes as follows from Pearson v. State Social-Welfare Board (1960) 54 Cal.2d 184 at 214 ; 5 Ca_.nptr. 553; 353 P.2d 33: " . . .our _a : must be construed, not as an independent Act, but in conjunction with the federal Act, that is, the two acts must be administered together as a unified code of 1a.:s enacted by Congress and the state legislature for the ccml ete and comprehensive control of the subject." -3- RECEIVED DEC 31 1968 W.

Smith, Director GENWAL GOALS AND ADM The Richmond Child Development Group is a private, non-profit organization, incorporated under the laws of the State of California for the purpose of operating pre-school educational programs in Contra Costa County. The Readstart Program of this organization is now in the- second year of operation. The major problem to which the program addresses itself is that of inadequate performance in public school by an overwhelming number of minority group children and children of the poor, a situation which exists across the nation. Manifestations of the problem are lack of interest and low motivation, poor or inadequate achievement, alienation from school, often by both children and parents. Our program endeavors to break this cycle which culminates in poor school performance by providing these pre-schoolers, three (3} and four (4) years of age, with a sound educational program which will develop in their early,formative years a liking for school and a trust in those who operate schools. We seek to provide the children with the foundation skills on which they can build as they progress through public school. Speci=caW, it is our goal to build self-confidence, to develop personal and racial pride and to help children learn to work and play cooperatively with others. Aim .. ...,.._ -2- STAFF: The staff of the Richmond Child Development Group consists of nineteen (19) people, thirteen (13) of whom reside in the target area. Of this nineteen (19), six (6) are professional workers, eleven (11) fall non-professional slots in the program and two (2) are clerical staff. Of the non-professionals, five (5) are full-time and six (6) are part-time. PROGREIM STR MM Educational Component: In five (5) classroom sessions, we serve one hundred (100) children. These classrooms operate in three (3) centers, located in three (3) different communities. HIGHLIGHTS: Positive and Negative 1. Nutritional and Food Programs in our centers are excel- lent. Consists of one hot meal and mid-session "snack" or supplement. Morning sessions are served a hot breakfast and afternoon sessions a hot lunch. Food is prepared on site at each center. 2. Health Services Program - In its conception, its broadness is excellent. Includes medical, dental, vision, hearing and language screenings. Staffing of this very large component of the over-all program has been inadequate due to lack of Rinds. With consultation and support of the Regional Health Consultant, Dr. Lann, we are moving to pro- vide additional staff to assist with this program -3- 3. In-Service Training and Career Development - We attempt to provide in-service training for the various categories of positions represented in our staff make-up. While in- service training helps the individual worker to develop his own capacities, in-service training of necessity is Seared to improving on-the-job performance as opposed to long-term career development. In the area of career development, our program as well as the overall poverty program in general is lacking. Examples of in-service training provided: (a) Teachers and Teacher Aides - meet every other week with a Meatal Health consultant. (b) Cooks - meet periodically with Bealth Department nutritionist. (c) Community Orkers - meet every other week with Social Service Department staff. (d) Teaching staff - meet periodically with City of Richmond library consultant. (e) Community Workers and Director - meet periodically with Health Department staff. 4. Parent Involvement and Coordination With Other Agencies - In these two areas the role of the Ca mmmity Worker is high- lighted.

Mr. Eugene R. Brusatori, Economic Opportunity Program Development Director, in compliance with a December 12, 1967 order of the Board of Supervisors having appeared and presented a progress report, a copy of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board, said report covering economic opportunity programs funded for Contra Costa County as the local community action agency, for the period March 15, 1965 through December 30, 1967 and reviewing program goals and results achieved, and including conclusions and recommendations; and Mr. Brusatori having advised the Board that in January 1968 a Management Information System (OEO-MIS), a nat- ional OEO plan, was installed and that through said system information on community action programs was to be provided on a quarterly basis and further, that a special report on all manpower programs would be available to the Board of Supervisors by May 15, 1968; and Supervisor J. E. Moriarty having stated that he was in favor of periodic evaluations of community action programs but that he was concerned about the fact that there appeared to be no adequate means of determining the number of persons removed from welfare rolls as a result of economic opportunity programs; and Mr. Brusatori having responded that there were problems involved in identifying persons who had been helped through the operation of community action programs and that a special method of checking would have to be developed; and Supervisor A. M. Dias having commented .that the pro- posed County Manpower Commission might be helpful in connection with making the determination about which Supervisor Moriarty is concerned; and Supervisor E. A. Linscheid having stated that he was disturbed about the fact that the number of welfare recipients and costs continued to increase despite the existence of com- munity action programs, to which Mr. Brusatori responded that the program was not sufficiently extensive nor concentrated to achieve results indicated by Supervisor Linscheid but that some programs were beginning to have an impact on the welfare situation; and Supervisor T. J. Coll having expressed the opinion that better program coordination appeared to be necessary and that the manpower commission concept should be implemented as soon as pos- sible to eliminate possible overlapping of programs and make more effective use of available funds; NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Supervisor J.

Dias mentioned the Manpower Commission and asked if this would help in this situation. Dias suggested that the report of Brusatori be referred to Social Programs Committee for report in three weeks. 1/3 Linscheid - on the question - stated that it disturbs him to see welfare rolls still growing in spite of all the programs. Brusatori stated that the program is not big enough or concentrated enough but that some programs are beginning to pay off. The process of getting out of poverty takes a period of time. Some people need training and training takes time .

The Economic Opportunity Act itself describes its primary goal as to mobilize the resources of the community throughout America to combat, reduce and eliminate conditions of poverty. Community Action Agencies have been established at local caneudty levels to direct and coordinate the attack on the complex poverty prob- lems found in a given community. The Community Action Agency in Contra Costa County is the County Board of Supervisors acting in partnership with the 100- member Economic Opportunity Council. Protbasional staff and Central Administration support services are provided by the County Office of Economic Opportunity. The Community Action Agency provides the means whereby the community can take a fresh look in a coordinated fashion at p lam of poverty. It emblem local citizens, local organisations and local goverment to plan and act together. From the joint experiences and diverse perspectives they try to find more effective ways to reduce or eliminate poverty. This is a new kind of effort for American communities. All too often, previous efforts have been conceived and operated as a collection of programs, each dealing with one narrow band on the spectrum of ills which is part of being poor. The task can be thought of in four major goals: Coordination and development of services; Involvement of peopIle who most need help; Stimulation of change; Total mobilization of the community. In a program of broad scope and of the short history, namely less than three Tears, it would be expected there would be some tangible and intangible results which can be measured and documented, Although there are a namiber of programs in our com- munity with which the CAA has a role in coordination and cooperative relation- ships, this report will deal primarily with those Economic Opportunity Programs which are directly sponsored by, and !laded to, the CAA, namely, the Cam■Mupity Action Program and the Bureau of work-training programs - Neigbborhood Tooth Corps. If we take a casual look at the complex of programs operating, it would appear they are relatively uncoordinated. We wish to emphasize that a pattern of coor- dination with design and with !unction has been developed, enhanoed, and effected through the Community Action Agency and the thrust of the CAP phase of the War on Poverty in Contra Costa County. The program plan which has developed under the direct auspices of the CAA has been designed to include: (1) Increased access to employment and training opportunities by persons in poverty; (2) Increased access by the poor to social resources located in or near areas served; and (3) Increased access to the poor intluenefte their own environment direct3y. tuaryort on EOP in Contra Costa County 1968 Page.2 PROGRESS AND RESULTS Measured against the goals as stated above, we can now take a look at some of the intangible and tangible results that have been achieved in the War on Poverty in Contra Costa County.

Stimulation of change The next major goal is stimulation of ch e. Casiunity Action Program has been instrumental in Contra Costa County in stimulating with social program, educational and other agencies, and organizations, changes in policy and pro. cedures. The changes include: Agencies providing a different delivery ofservices bringing them to the people in the area served, the neighborhoods, and with out- station and out-reach services rather than in-take services. The employment of low-incomo people in direct contacts with other lo—income .. people as the beneficiaries or recipients of services. Changes in agency policies and procedures, such as in Civil Service modifications, .. provide additional access to entry jobs and regular employment to low-income people. .. Organizations of low-income people to give a voice to their expressed needs and concerns and in directing services and resources in the planning stage, as well as in the implementation stage in a number of social progranas and in each and every one of the community action component projects and Neighborhood Youth Corps projects 4. Mobilization of Resources Another major goal is the Total Mobilization of Resources in the commnity and in this we have barely "scratched the surface" and are far from achieving appropriate level of mobilization of comim pity resources. (both extensiveljr and intensively). It has been clearly pointed out in the past that the major gap in this area is the involvement of busineas and industry as a primary resource to combat poverty through the employment and training of lost-income people. People who are now poor would have jobs instead of welfare. The appropriate mobilization of co'■�muiit� sources requires a) comprehensive planning, a eve opmen and nurturing — over a long length of time, of numerous interrelationships between a—sting agencies, and c) a building of cooperative relationships against a resistance related to maTW agencies wanting to operate "in their own bailiwick". This ulti- mately means a shift in identity from "agency-based" programs to "community-based" programs. Efficiency and effectiveness m&*o, in many cases, mergers for more efficient and effective operations and elimination of some programs as well as development of new programs; each of these - mergers, - eliminations of programs, - development of programs directed to meet needs that have never been met before, - have occurred within the conuunity action program. But that program represents in total only a small part of the total anti poverty resources of existing programs within the county. Economic Opportunity Programs funded under all seven titles of the Economic Opportunity Act are in operation in this county. All of these programs are coordinated to some degree and in some fashion with the Community Action Agency, either centrally or at the neighborhood or operating level through Community Action Program delegate agencies. However, data, in relation to all of these programs, is reported to no one central source in this county. Data is not available continually about them, nor are t same information categories and standards used in connection with these diverse programs, ........... Report on EOP in Contra Costa County January 1968 Page 4 ranging from adult basic education to legal services to research-type projects. Therefore, this report will be limited to the Economic Opportunity Programa under direct auspices of the County Board of Supervisors as The Co muiity Action Agency, while reference will be made to other existing programs, basic information of tangible and intangible results will be furnished in relation to those Com un-31 Act on ei borhood Youth Corps programa only. We have additionally been working with a county-vide interagency Coordinating Committee on Manpower programs. We are working in a joint effort -with the California State Employment Services to compile a survey and inventory of all of the Manpower Training and Job Development type program in operation or planned for the next year in Contra Costa County, such report to be completed in the next three months as part of the Coordinated Agencies' Manpower Pro- grams Systems (CAMS). Further, we have just instal led, beginning in January, a Management Information System (CEO-MIS) which is a national CEO plan which Will report program information on a quarterly basis; therefore, this report today is in that sense the nature of an initial or preliminary report to be supplemented on a quarterly basis by the Management Information System's report of community action programs and a special report on all kmpower programs will be available to the Board of Supervisors by May 159 1968. .t r e�+ ,may ! r�✓ {. - ^ r :Ids e t!ry w ti� h h' .yam - N : wi;4•"' .a.A a..

This was the beginning of the Community Action Program in Contra Costa County. In September, 1%4, the County Hoard of Super- visors at the request of maW county-wide agencies and neighborhood groups from target areas, created the Economic Opportunity Council under public auspices for the purpose of developing and conducting the anti poverty movement within the county, as provided for in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, approved in August, 1964. The creation of this council was ascribed to by the interim body. The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 had as its intent the development of the economically deprived to their fullest individual capacity in order to enable them to participate in the main stream of modern American life. 1b most this objective the Act allowed a spectrum of program types for children, youth, young adults, adults and elderly. It authorized for use of Federal funds on a shared basis with local areas for manpower development, compensatory education, cultural enrichment, social service and neighborhood organization programs. Of special interest to Contra Costa County was Title ILL of the Act which provided for the organization of a Community Action Agency and Program(emphasizing "Self- Help Programs" in which beneficiaries themselves help to solve problems)p with a Federal guideline authorization of funding predicated on the 1960 census estimate of poverty within the county. A basic requirement for the county participation was the need to assure the meaningful participation of the economically deprived in the planning, development, evaluation and coordination of the program - thla was expected both at policy-making level and at the employment level and to assure self-help type programming. This program under Title IIA of the Economic Opportunity Act is the major interest in this report. Community Action Agency - the policy-making structure The initial council, under the auspices of public body as described in the Back- ground, above, developed a changed organizational approach (initially, one of the agencies, public and private non profit, dealing in service to the poor) wbich, in their estimation, better met the requirements for anti poverty development in the county. It accepted a set of bylaws which changed the organization to one that provided for maximum feasible participation of the poor, as well as participation by agencies who privide service to the Poor and those which contributed to the "Community's Econamy". The Maximum feasible participation" element of the neer organization was to consist of 60 elected members who wore poor themselves, while EOP Report 3/15/65 - 12/30/67 the remaining 40 members were to represent agencies/organizations who had either direct service relationship and contribution to the community eoona We Elections to establish poverty membership to the council were conducted during May/June 1966 and the now council was then restructured coamencing with the July 1966 meeting. The council with this organizational structure continues today. An integral element of the CAA is the County Board of SuperrIsors, which has accepter the role of sponsor of the council and also sponsor (grantee and/or prime cautractor) for funded projects approved by both the council and the Board of Supervisors. With the contextual information furnished above, it is now possible to describe the basic program results and the basic purposes of this report. These purposes are: a) To summarize the funding of the County CAP from its initial grant (March 15, 1965) through December 30, 1967 (Appendix I). b) Suamuwizes the types of activities involved within the funding program and to show their sponsorship (Appendix II - 2 parts). c) Provide data on job opportunities resulting from the program (Appendix III). d) Provide information on the degree of poverty participation in the program, with special emphasis mon manpower job development (Appendix ID). Program Funding - 1965/67 The information on CAA program funding which is attached as Appendix I shows that in total, over the period involved, the county government as CAA has received $4,254..7811 Federal dollars, to which public and private non-profit agencies and organizations in the county have made additional contributions of $907,691 for a total program of $5,162,1175. The OEO CAP Title IIA (section 204 and 205) funding eventually developed into two main funding categories. The two used by the CAA are: National CAP emphasis and CAP local emphasis programs. One is a Head Start Program, a CAP OEO national emphasis, pre-school child development program. The other is the local emphasis CAP versatile program which makes available to the CAA an allocation for development of programs within general program and funding guidelines designed by the commnity to meet local needs. Other sources of EDO= funding have also been utilized in the CAP as noted on Appendix I, namely, U.S. Department of Iabor for conduct of a NYC and a Nov Careerist program. (It should be noted that the program funds tabulated in Appendix I are based on funds as initial approved for a specific program operation. B. Tyke s of Activities and Sponsoring Agencies (Appendix III) Appendix II is in two parts. The first part considers the "breakdown" (itemization or categorizing) of the Federal funds, (by fiscal year) into the various major types of activities in which the CAA has engaged. It must be further recognized that although a project may be grouped under a specific major type of activity, EOP Report 3/15/65 - 12/30/67 the actual work program, for which the project was funded, includes elements of administration and my also have had responsibilities carrying out other types of activities related to needs of people served. (This is intentional - to assure focus on individual and family needs rather than on categories of service.) The second part of the Appendix provides a listing of delegate agencies which have sponsored CAA projects. It provides a description of the projects data on funding and continuity of operation. The data shows that there were — 7-0 delegate agency sponsors of # funded projects. There were 2 6 sponsors of the projects funded appro a listing of these sponsors and descriptions of their programs and related information an funding, is attached as Appendix U. C. CAA Directly Supported Job Opportunities Although the funded CAP is not, per as. a manpower/job developrat program, there have been Vok I&&& opportunities provided within the individual projects of the program for permanent and part time jobs for people. llne caopil-tion of these opportunities by agency as related to cmtln and emplaymant and part time OWI*y- ment, is shown as Appendix III. This appendix shows number of job opportunities, provided in the funded in professional categories, non professional clerical/ semi-skilled trade cateJories and in other jobs restricted to hiring from the poverty population. (Usually trainee or occupational or entry types.) D. CAP Poverty Participation Federally required data collection on incidence of (quantitative) poverty parti- cipation has been ain3mal until August of 1967. Starting at that time a new data collection system was required to be implemented in each CAA by the Federal government. In this new system, the Federal goverment is requesting relatively complete participation inforsatim an the various CAP activities. The initial data received in October 1967 and in January 1,968, for the period AV9tst - December 1967, must still be evaluated for validity and reliability. Therefore, the par- ticipation indicated in the sponsored activities is not in all instances a precise count and includes best efforts made for an estimated basis• It is acimoerledgad that there is considerable duplicated count of individuals served by a contact person in record keeping of this type. Appendix IV provides available data in regard to participation within the CAA sponsored CAP and BWTP projects, and Appendix V shows all projects funded or coordinated with the CAA. Ste= The information and data contained within this report do not give a cooplete picture of the total EOP anti-poverty program! in Contra Costa County but do provide basic information on those areas. A major purpose of the CAP is to provide a climate of change in the co®unity in the increase of its economically deprived citisene. (Precise) or cveprehensive measurable change of total effect or "impact" upon this papulation within the time reference of less than 3 years is unrealistic, considering the extent of poverty E4P Aeport 3V/6 - 12/3oIb7 �- within the country and in Contra Costa County.

REPORT TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS IN CONTRA COSTA COUNrl CONCLUS IONS: 1. The CAA/EOP poverty program has developed innovative versatile programming to meet specific identified needs of poverty peotle in target areas. Funds and resources imediatel available to meet the underlying causes of the comp ex poverty problems are grossly insufficient; however, significantRrog ess has been made in Contra Costa County, as evidenced by born tangible and intangible results. 2. Local and national emchasis in proaram develo t is to be directed increasing y to onomic upportuni such as economic development annn mangy training/iob development programs in the next two years. 3. Stronger em basis on "communi based" programs rather than "agency ase programs through leadership of the CAA; namely, the Board of Supervisors, jointly with the Economic Opportunity Council, is timely required to mobilize the many separate public and private resources in mare effectively providing solutions and to the host of community problems contributing to "poverty" to Which traditionally ag6icles dial with separately and in piecemeal fashion. RECOWENDiATI ONS: 1. That all manpower and job development type programs conducted under the Economic Opportunity Program in the County be reported centrally to the CAA. (a) That such reports include the number of persons in training, the types of training, number in jobs, types of jobs, and some basic demographic des- cription of the target Vopulations; that is, characteristic of beneficiaries and areas served. (b) That the Social Service Department provide for coding cases for "closings" and "reductions in payments" to cearly and continuously identify the number of people off welfare due to employ- ment as a result of EOP funds, in the following classifications as a minimum: Permanent Temporary Full Time Part Time Page 2 Report to Board 2. That the major program development thrust of the poverty program in Contra Costa County for the next two years be in the development of manpower training and job place- ment programs planned, and developed in coordination with industry and business and otherwise linked to the private sector of the economy and that this effort be coupled to the Economic Development Program with emphasis on the target areas -of the county to include housing, business and neighborhood improvement. 3. That the Board of Supervisors immediately implement the County Manpower Commission concept and direct County departmental offices to identify Economic Development Act resources together with such voluntary organizations as the Contra Costa County Development Association, the Taxpayers' Association, and the Bay Area Social Planning Council. 4. That electronic data processing capacity be furnished in order to systematically report basic information useful for comprehensive planning in social program areas through the cooperation of all county departments (and through the allocation of possible un-utilized budget each fiscal year within a department `including County Office of Economic Opportunity) to develop programming "inputs" and achieve "output" runs of information within an 18-month period, under the coordination leadership of the County Administrator's office. 5. Additionally, that leadership through the Board of Supervisors be provided for the central report of information, joint planning and joint evaluations of all existing social programs under various public and private auspices in the County to enhance further coordination, elimination of undesirable duplication, enhance filling of gaps, and assure adequacy of the scope and intensity of programs. 6. That the Board of Supervisors jointly with the Economic Opportunity Council request the Bay Araa Social Planning Council to conduct a comprehensive study of the organiza- tion systems of the social and economic resources in the county through funds BASPC has on hand for which it des- cribes as their function.

Recent statistics are not available for most general categories by census tract and to even the most casual observer there have been marked changes since the 1960 census. For this presentation there have been added five additional census tracts to the three target areas which previously com- prised fourteen tracts. To target area "A", formerly composed of tracts 65, 769 79, 80 and 81, have been added tracts 57 and 58. This adds the Rodeo-Crockett waterfront caaeunities to the general Richmond or West-County target area. As of February 10 1966 there were 14,544 welfare cases in Contra Costa County and 7,269 of these were in the Richmond office serving this area. (See enclosed breakdown of welfare cases. ) To target area "B", formerly comprising census tracts 9, 109 11 and 12, have been added tracts 14, 15 and 17, which includes the Port Chicago Ambrose complex and one area of Mar- tinez which is characterized by a high incidence of elderly people. Target area "B" was formerly within the City of Pitts- burg but should now be more adequately termed the North Mid- County target area. Area "C" or the East-County tracts 1, 29 3 and 4 remains unchanged. Contra Costa County population has increased by over 259 since 1960 by the most conservative estimates and the impact of reduction of farm labor forces, industrial automation, sub- urban commuting to Alameda and San Francisco counties has not been measured adequately. The elimination of the bracero pro- gram will probably result in fewer single-worker migrants and more family migrants with inadequate facilities in the East County area "C . Increasing automation in the steel mills, oil refineries, shipping industries, etc. of North Mid-County can be documented on an industry-by-industry basis, but the additional facilities being added, while increasing productive capacity, are not adding jobs. Actually, less non-skilled jobs will be required. In Contra Costa County over 509 of low-income families are not, by and large, heavily concentrated in well-defined poverty areas. Poverty is found in both concentrated pockets and in a dispersed population. In only one section, North it. h Supplement to CAP 5 (cont'd) 2 Richmond, do families earning leas than $4,000 amount to more than 359 of the total population. The "target area" ;concept thus has somewhat less significance .her* than :els."here.-- This. is not to say, however, that the poor are -uniformly. distributed throughout the county. The maps, tables. ands aupplenent in -: CAP 5 identify the areas in which the incidonce,,of :poverty is highest and provide detailed statistical inforration about them.

GUIDELINES for D COORDINATION OF ESEA TITLE I AND EOA TITLE II-A (CAP) PROGRAMS and D COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIPS between LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS and COWUNITY ACTION AGENCY January 1965 ------------------------------------ Contra Costa County Office of Economic Opportunity 1121 Pine Street Martinez, Calif. ---------------- ------ - ----� Vt` COORDINATION OF THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ACT AND THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT No two pieces of major legislation have more in common or have goals which are more in accord with one another and with national policy. There is no question that when any two programs contain the potential for complementary activities, they also contain the potential for unhealthy competition, waste and duplication. The potential for insuring coordination and concentration of resources exists within the wording and intent of both Adts. At the Federal level, steps have been taken to insure that efforts and resources will not be wasted -- through, for example, the creation and use of a joint OE-OEO unit established to serve both agencies. But both Acts depend first upon local initiative and direction, and second upon the States' commitment to effectively enforce provisions that strengthen the complementary administration of each Act. Considering Title II of the EOA, Community Action Programs, there appears to be precedent and legislative intent to avoid duplication and overlapping. From the beginning, CAP was intended to support activities and services not supportable under existing legislation. Certainly this concept will be extended to legisla- tion passed subsequent to the passage of the EOA. It will always be the respon- sibility of each level of government to avoid duplication between these two Acts, as well as other Acts. A healthy working arrangement between the local CAP and school system, already started in many communities, will help to create a climate in which these two agencies, as well as others, can fashion and shape their respective programs to complement and supplement each other. Each should design programs to reinforce the wort: of the other, and in many communities this will be done with great imagination. The effort should be backed at the State, Regional and Federal levels by requiring evidence of such imaginative planning in proposals or plans which are submitted for funding. This can be done in several ways: 1.) by requiring that programs be tailored to the interest of each Act 2.) by requiring that programs proposed under one Act be dovetailed to fit with complementary and reinforcing programs permissible under the other. 3.) by requiring that programs be submitted with comprehensive plans that show how the local authority is taking advantage of available legislation by working with relevant sister agencies to attack the problem along con- ceptual lines rather than institutional lines. The language of the EOA, specifically limits supportable programs to "special remedial and other noncurricular educational assistance" (Section 205 a) , and then only as part of a comprehensive community action program in source, but cer- tainly not all, of the poorest communities of the land. These supplementary activities in the war on poverty must be closely coordinated with programs under the ESEA aimed at strengthening systems of general education. The benefits of improved general education can be multiplied many times if,. through careful plan- ning and coordination, the local communities make certain that the same children and families which are the object of the ESEA receive essential health, welfare and other services. The ESEA will enable the schools to meet what should be their regular commitments to all the young of this nation. Title I of the Actprovidesthe beginning of an answer to the great need for strengthened general education in low income areas. Title III, although not directed to a particular economic group in.the country, nonetheless will provide a valuable addition to the war against poverty when the supplementary education centers are accessible to the poor. It goes without say- ing that the provision of vitally needed textbooks and the expansion of library facilities under Title II will also result in an improvement in the educational services available to the poor. Educational programs supportable under CAP are generally supportable under the ESEA if sponsored or administered by the public schools In those districts where both Acts will support educational programs, the best use of funds would seem to point to an emphasis on curricular, in-school funding by the ESEA -and` extra curricular and out-of-public shool funding by OEO. - Those efforts which are primarily educational in nature, such as reduced class size, improved facili- ties or new or additional curricula materials should be supported: under Title I of ESEA. Other efforts, of a more supplementary nature, such as health and-nu- tritional services and family involvement, could more feasibly be supported under the EOA. Commissioner Keppel and Mr. Shriver are suggesting to Chief State School Officers, for example, that preschool efforts continue to be financed under the EOA, assuming that the majority of the resources under Title I of the ESEA will be used to support efforts for those children already -part of the public educa- tional system. It is expected that as the programs envisioned under the ESEA get underway, communities may depend less upon the EOA for assistance to their remedial activities. This would enable OEO to divert its limited resources, now committed so heavily to remedial education programs, to other sorely needed activities in the war on poverty. - 2 - State Coordination In order to further assure cooperation, lists of approved.CAPs should be provided to each State educational agency which could then notify affected local school agencies, where the CAP has a component of concern to those agencies. To further assist in this cooperation at the State level, each State has established a State Technical Assistance Agency under the Governor designed to coordinate State agency support of CAPS"in that State. The State educational agency is a part of the State Technical Assistance Agency. Under this plan the SEA will have a current list of all approved CAPS in its State. It should therefore be able to ascertain whether the local educational agency's proposals for programs or projects under Title I have been worked out in 'cooperation with the local coununity action agency, where components of the latter agency's program may affect the local educational agency's pro- gram for the disadvantaged. Once programs proposed under the ESEA are established, the community action agencies funded by the OEO will check with the local school agencies in their area before proposing any program with educational components. Lists of ap- proved local programs for the disadvantaged will be provided to the responsi- ble approving authorities under the OEO so that they, too, could avoid dupli- cation or overlap of a program already established under Title I. While the State educational agency will have final authority to approve each local educational agency program under the ESEA and the same authority lies with the OEO with respect to CAPs, the existence of current comparableHem of approvals should provide a basis for checking whether the "cooperation" provision is being enforced. In cases where it is abused, the Commissioner of Education may withhold funds under Section 210. In areas where there is a strong similarity of interest and approach between the local educational agency and the community action agency, dual funding may be used to establish a program which not only will avoid any overlapping of effort but allow in many cases the establishment of a program which could not be managed separately. w 4 3. . Local Coordination It would seem that the most effective coordination would come at the local level. State criteria for programs under the ESEA, and therefore the Com- missioner's criteria for the States. will have to encourage and. even force this coordination. The wording under Section 205,(a) (7) provides the open- ing wedge, requiring that local boards develop programs in "cooperation" with the public or private nonprofit agencies responsible for comunity action programs in their locality. Cooperation here means continuous and genuine working relationships during the period when programs are being planned and developed, as well as when they are being carried out. This section should in no way be construed as giving the local community action..agency a.veto over Title I programs; it does require that local educational agencies, develop their programs in cooperation with local community action agencies. Similarly, it is expected that when a local community action program is planned, cooperation will be sought with the local educational agencies. Only in this way can both pro- grams hope to achieve the objective of serving the needs of educationally de- prived children. Since the CAPs in many areas will be underway by the tine planning for Title I programs is be.-un, it is expected that the local school agency would take the initiative in mal-,in- contact with the local community action agency to determine whether the community action project or projects have a bearing upon the school agency's plans. If the couiunity action project is school related, then the local school agency will already be actively involved. This statement was compiled from a selection of statments and m=oranda concerning the coordination of the EOA and ESEA. 7/12/65 h ; ,a OFFICE O F ECONOMIC EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE 'RESIOENT 100 McAlter eet OPPORTUNITY Sew Feeeeisco, Csliferoie 91102 REGIONAL CAA DULIETIN December 21, 1%5 NUMBER SFR-24 COOPERATION EEMN CONWNM ACTION AGMT—RB AND LOCAL SCOL DISTRICTS IN DEVSIMM ' COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIPS FOR TITLE I PBGNA!>B UNDER THE MMMART AND SECONUff EDUCATION ACT OF 1%5 1. A guideline issued by the Office of Education, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, on October 8, 1965, takes some very specific steps toward spelling out the kinds of relationships which would be evidence of the cooperation called for between school districts and Community Action Agencies under Public Law 89-10. These guidelines, on page 29, note the following as evidence of such a cooperative relationship: (1) a description of the representation of the local community action organization on planning and advisory committees during the planning, development, and operational stages of projects and programs (2) a description of the procedure for continuous review and comment of plans and operations between local educational agencies and co=unity action organizations with regard to their respective programs (3) a letter from the local cowunity action organisation stating that the community action organization has worked cooperatively with the local educational agency to develop the proposed projects and programa, and intends to continue its cooperation through the life of the project or program (4) a description of the attempts by the local educational agency to enlist the cooperation of the community action organization from the beginning of the planning stages (5) a description of the representation of the local educational agency on the board of the public or private nonprofit agency responsible for the Community Action Program 2. While the above are not mandated, it should be noted that these steps, in fact, go a long way toward spelling out what is meant by a cooperative relationship. Most school districts, as well as your State Education Agency, are in possession of these guidelines, and it would be appro- priate for you to use the above five points in seeking to influence the development of education programs under Public Law 89-10 in your community. Of even greater importance, is the information we have REGIONAL CAA BULLETIN NUMBER SFR-24 received from the Office of Education that Item No. 3 in the &bow* list is going to be made mandatory. That is, that the State Agency which: approves local school district plans, will need to have a let---r from the local Community Action Agency indicating that there has been a co- operative relationship in developing the proposed program. We main request that Cousunity Action Agencies be in immediate contact with our office, so that we may be of help, where they are unable to develop the kind of cooperative relationships with school districts call*d for by Public Lav 89-10. Melvin B. Mogulof Representative in Charge Comity Action Program Distribution X-3 2 WA 0 ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT, TITLE I and ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ACT II-A (CAP) COORDINATION The following is a guidelines statement about cooperative relationships be- tween the school districts and the community action agency. The need for joint planning and working relationships between the school dis- tricts and the CAP agencies is pointed up by several factors related to coll- prehensive programming and linkage between program, including the following: 1. Possibility of tying programs together for more effective implementa- tion. 2. The fact that to develop an adequate program, multiple funding sources are increasingly necessary. 3. A total mobilization of resources moves programs to a "community base", rather than single agency operations. Coordination is a two-way street and the essential element is a working re- lationship. In relation to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act projects application - December 1965 - the following is suggested as suitable evidence of coordination between schools and the CAP organization. 1. Preparation of a joint statement showing the general tie to the County Community Action Program, how information is shared and exchanged, and programs coordinated or not coordinated. 2. Review for specific comments related to the character, scope, and link- ages between existing and proposed program under community action and the local educational agencies' projects. Coa pity Action Ageney:ahould be helpful in showing how ties to other existing programs are available or should be made. 3. A statement of coordination, planning, and implementation for future pro- grams and projects which should provide for joint membership on planning groups. ERB:af i i . .. JOINT STATEIENT BY RICHMOND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY COINUNITY ACTION AGENCY ON COORDINATION OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND ELEtreNTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT PROGRAMS • Close and continuing ties already initiated will be maintained between the Office of Economic Opportunity Programs and the Richmond Unified School Dis- trict. The general purposes of such arrangements concern administration and evaluation of existing programs, coordination in planning and funding future programs, movements in the direction of community-based programs and continued reciprocal membership on each other's committees. This school district plans to establish a Compensatory Education Advisory Com- mittee consisting of teachers, administrators, residents of the community and community agency representatives. Its purposes will include planning, imple- menting, evaluating and dissemination of information. From our standpoint, we expect to benefit from the resources and experience of the established structure of the CAP agency for administering and coordina- ting community programs: to participate in the development and operation of a research evaluation system to provide for measurement of results obtained as related to program objectives; to contribute to, and gain infomation from, an information clearing house to be established by the CAP agency; to request technical assistance. More specifically, a plan is proposed to establish a local countywide_ task force review committee of representatives from the school districts, Social Service Department, Public Health Department, the Comaunity Action Agency, and other related organizations. This task force will review current pro- posals under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as submitted by lo- cal school districts, from the point of view of rationale, how specific pro- jects are tied or can be related to existing or new resources and .to implement future coordination. Additionally, copies of the current ESEA projects will be shared with Communi- ty Action Agency for review and evaluation purposes and for commentary by the Community Action Agency, namely, the County Office of Economic Opportunity. This policy is an attempt to further develop and establish supportive organi- zational structure, to enhance information exchange and joint planning- useful both to implementing current proposals and developing ESEA (and CAP) projects for the next fiscal year. ONAGEMENT INFORMATION RPORTING BY COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCIES OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM This manual presents the Community Action Program (CAP) progress reports for quarterly reporting by all Community Action Agencies (CAAs) and ` single-purpose grantees. These progress reports are an important part of CAP's comprehensive and integrated management systems for grant funding, financial accounting, and information reporting. The implementation of these systems will provide the basis for more effective decision-making information at each management level, as well as for the consolidation of information re- quirements and the elimination of numerous questionnaires. The Program Pxogress Reports (PPRs), which represent the minimum CAP-reporting requirement, must be submitted on a continuing basis to the CAP regional offices and CAP headquarters at the end of each calendar quarter. They are designed to list all the CAP program accounts (and related categories of service performed within these accounts) used in grant funding and financial accounting. In addition to CAP program accounts, the PPRs include information elements on selected non-CAP programs. However, each CAA_ is to report information only on (1) its currently funded CAP program accounts, and (2) non- CAP antipoverty-related pro rams that form an integral part of a mutually coordinat_ed_plan or working arrangement between the CAA and the manager of that non-CAP program. The CAP management information system (MIS) is designed as a com- prehensive and integrated reporting system for CAA as well as for CAP regional office and headquarters use. Thus, the information CAAs report to CAP is expected to be the same basic information, although in less detail, that CAAs will need and use in their own planning and review processes. To help ensure this compatibility, the CAP MIS has been coordinated with, pilot tested, and proven feasible by 68 CAAs. The MIS is also designed as a permanent structure within which meaningful changes in information requirements can be - As indicated here and throughout this manual, the term "CAA" is used Lo mean all grantees subject to the reporting requirement. Single-purpose grantees should substitute the word "grantee" for "CAA" as appropriate. 5 made as future needs develop. (However, only basic information categories are being requested at this time. To assist CAAs in understanding the CAP MIS and in reporting informa- tion to CAP, this manual outlines the: y Purpose of the CAP MIS IT Major Features of the Progress Reporting System 4 General Instructions for CAA Progress Reporting q Guidelines for Developing a CAA Program Information System q Administration Reporting Requirements q Manpower Program Reporting Requirements Q Education Program Reporting Requirements Q Housing Program Reporting Requirements Q Health Program Reporting Requirements I Community Services Program Reporting Requirements I Training Program Reporting Requirements Q Technical Assistance Program Reporting Requirements Q Migrant Program Reporting Requirements 6 PURPOSE OF THE W MIS The CAP MIS=S is the method by which CAAs will report progress - both to their own management and to CAP - in carrying out their approved plans and in achieving their program objectives. To understand this purpose fully, this reporting system should be viewed as the final step in a series of related CAP management processes that must be accomplished at all levels to achieve the basic mission of CAP and its grantees. These steps are: 1. Define the needs of poor people 2. Set program objectives for meeting these needs 3. Analyze and select alternative courses of action for achieving the objectives 4. Allocate resources among alternatives 5. Assign individual responsibilities for carrying out the agreed-on courses of action 6. Monitor progress against plans both to improve individual performance and to strengthen plans in each recycling of the planning process. The first five steps are part of each CAA's program planning effort that leads to the development and approval of the grant application. The sixth step, which is effected through feedback from the Program Progress Reports, mea- sures how well CAA plans have been translated into action and results. In other words, planning efforts lead to the preparation of a grant application that sets forth the needs of the poor people in the community served by the CAA, and the coordinated, documented plan the CAA has designed for meeting these needs. These CAA plans provide the CAP regional offices and headquarters with a basis for obtaining more adequate resources for program funding. Following the approval of program objectives and plans and the granting of funds, the ' Program Progress Reports enable CAAs to report to CAP on their progress to- ward reaching the agreed-on objectives. - The term "MIS" is used here to refer to the total reporting requirements and procedures set forth in this manual. 7 PREFACE i Contra Costa County CAP has developed an Economic Opportunity Program Evaluation and Reporting §ystem (EARS) encompassing (1) a basic evaluation aid design and plan, and (2) Management Information System (MIS). The CAP Management Information System is a national OEO plan intended as a Management tool for program reporting, program monitoring and program planning. It is not a complete management information system. For example, it is not automatically compatible with current budget and fiscal accounting reporting. MIS is primarily useful as an in-house tool to report program information and initially for reporting, on in-house programs. It can later be utilised (expanded) to identify and report all major social programs related to the War on Poverty in the community (i.e. all program affecting people in poverty). On that scope it would be a useful co_ based information and planning tool-. The following describes a basic grogram. evaluation desism to be used for all component projects as we as overall program appraisal. The design has been adapted with only slight modification from an evaluation design pro ppooaa1 of Projects to Advance -Creativity in Education (PACE), Office of Education, Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), Washington, D.C. for use in the Economic Opportunity Program in Contra Costa County. It is compatible with and coupled to the Mane gement Information System for Contra Costa County Community Action Agency. This plan results in an overall Program Evaluation and Report System. ,1 In the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County, State of California _-_ January 2 In the Mo»er of Report to be made on the efrectiveness or the County Economic Opportunity Program. 4 The Board having heretofore determined that it would be desirable to evaluate the effectiveness of the County Economic Opportunity Program in view of recent congressional action extend- ing anti-poverty programs for two yearn, and in connection there- with having directed Mr. E.
