TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Phil Batchelor •. Costa ntra
County Administrator
DATE: July 28, 1992 - Cairty
SUBJECT: Community-Based Agency Contract Reductions
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
I. ACKNOWLEDGE that the devastating budget cuts being forced upon the Board of
Supervisors result primarily from the recession and State deficit, further exacerbated by
the State's current budget impasse.
2. ACKNOWLEDGE that General Assistance for single adults consume more than 50% of the
Social Service Department's net county cost, reducing local funds available to programs for
families, children and the aged.
3. ACKNOWLEDGE that community-based agencies provide valuable, cost-effective services
to the citizens of Contra Costa County.
4. ACKNOWLEDGE the dilemma of the Board of Supervisors in its reduction of community-
based agency contracts due to the"need to continue State mandated programs while
reducing programs of priority to the citizens of'Contra Costa.
5. ACKNOWLEDGE the Child Abuse Prevention Council's assertion that loss of the $68,772 per
year contract would likely eliminate the organization and their request to provide for a
transition period to allow them time to explore alternative revenue. CONSIDER deferring
the effective date of termination of the Council's contract. ACKNOWLEDGE that contract
reductions in the other community-based agencies will result in significant service level
losses.
6. DIRECT the County Administrator to report back to the Board of Supervisors on the
feasibility of restoring contracts in whole, or in part, should the legislators and the
electorate, if necessary, authorize the Board to raise new countywide revenues.

7. DIRECT the County Administrator and Health Services Director and Social Service Director
to report to the Board of Supervisors on the potential impact of alcohol program rehab bed
reductions on General Assistance grant expenditures.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On Monday, July 20, 1992, the.Board of Supervisors directed the County Administrator's office
to analyze the service level impact of contract reductions on 10 community-based agencies and
report back to the Board of Supervisors. The agencies .included the Community Food Bank,
Contra Costa Association for Retarded Citizens, Mayflower, Meals on Wheels, Family Stress Center
(2 contracts), Contra Costa Child Care Council, Child Abuse Prevention Council, West Coast
Children's Center, Battered Women's Alternative and the Rape Crisis Center.
On Wednesday, July 22, 1992, the Social Service Department and County Administrator's office
met with community-based agencies to discuss contract reductions. At that time, agencies were
requested to complete a survey concerning the service level impacts (Crisis and Suicide
Intervention also responded to the survey) . In addition, in a separate survey, agencies were
requested to look at the feasibility of efficiencies through organizational consolidation and
coordination (the subject of a separate report from the Finance Committee) . Ten surveys were
completed and returned by Friday afternoon (see attached). County staff would like to express
appreciation to those agencies who responded so quickly and thoroughly to our request for
information. Information from the surveys is summarized below.
Organizational Viability
The Child Abuse Prevention Council of Contra Costa appears to be the only agency whose
organization viability is threatened by the contract reductions. According to the Council, " a cut
of greater than 31% could seriously jeopardize our ability to keep our doors open" The Council
would lose $68,772 per year out of a $129,909 yearly budget. The Council has requested an
opportunity to develop a transition plan, during which time it can seek new funding to prevent
closure of the agency.
The overall budgetary impact of the other contract reductions is much less. None are over 25%
of the agency's total budget and 5 are less than 5% of the total agency budget.

The agency maintains that cuts greater than 31%would seriously
jeopardize their ability to maintain the organization. The Council
recommends that it be given time to develop a transitional plan to
develop new funding sources.
Leveraging Resources
All the agencies leverage their resources through private contributions and/or the use of
volunteers. Increases in outside resources was not noted as a possibility; in fact, there was
mention of declining private contributions and United Way contributions in the past year. In
addition, demands for services have increased, according to many agencies.
The Finance Committee is looking at organizational efficiencies that could be used by the agencies
to increase their resources (Please see Finance Committee report) .
Board of Supervisors Revenue Alternatives
The Board of Supervisors adopted the policy that restoration of any programs would require
either elimination of other programs or development of new revenue. The Social Service
Department has already experienced two levels of cuts during FY 91-92 in response to the growing
cost of General Assistance. The Department has currently a mandate to reduce General
Assistance costs by $5.4 million in FY 92-93. This will require a vigorous implementation of cost
efficiencies in that program. The Department may also need to take further reductions in Phase
II, depending on State actions. Phase II personnel reductions in Social Service would result in
losses of federal and/or state revenue on more than a dollar-per-dollar basis.
At this time, the County has limited resources to raise revenue. Should the state legislature
grant the County authority to raise new countywide revenues and should the electorate uphold
such authority if necessary, the Board may want to reconsider these contract reductions.
Other Issues
In addition to the contracts discussed in this report, the Board of Supervisors authorized a
reduction of $490,000 for 4 community-based organizations which provide alcoholic rehabilitation
beds (Bi-Bett Corporation, North Richmond Neighborhood House, Sunrise House and East County
Community Detox) . The contract reductions would result in the elimination of 93 social rehab
beds. All or some of these beds are occupied by individuals who would otherwise be eligible for
General Assistance. The County Administrator's office is currently working with the Health
Services Department and Social Service Department to identify the impact of these contract
reductions on General Assistance costs.

Thank you for your assistance.
Please note: I did not complete the other form because I am painfully certain
that Contra Costa ARC has already, since 1986, implemented every measure possible
to reduce expenses to the absolute minimum. Our administrative expenses are less
than 9% of our direct service costs. We: have no Personnel Department, no
Controller, no paid Fund Raiser, no Maintenance Dept, no personnel. for purchasing
or data -management or records. All of these functions are handled by direct service
staff and the Executive Director. Our exempt staff work between 45 and 65 hours
per week and are paid for 3712 hours. No one in this agency has had a raise (not
merit, nor step increase, nor COLA) since a 5% COLA on July 1, 1988. Yet we serve
over 450 children and adults each day in high quality, nationally accredi-ed
programs. I am certain that the services the County provides through non-profit
contractors like ARC are the most cost-effective services available. I urge you
to give top priority to the preservation of these contracts and to seek other
areas within the County to realize the needed savings. T believe that through
consolidation of administrative functions and especially through contracting out
for some functions, the $450,000 needed to save these essential contract services
can be found. Thank you very much for making this effort: and for the opportunity
to gi-VE' thi S -i.nl)ut .

Contract Usage Data
Contra Costa ARC & CCC Department of Social Services $9,550
Service: Work Training/Employment Program for Severely Handicapped
Adults .
Before FY 80-81, this contract provided services to over 60
individuals daily. The contract was in the $200,000 range
annually.
In FY 80-81, funding for this program was taken over by the State
Department of Rehabilitation. At that time, all clients being
served under the contract were referred to the State. There were
approximately 20 individuals who were not eligible for State
funding. The county made a policy decision to continue to serve
these 20 individuals as long as they needed the service, but to
take no new referrals.
As expected, since FY 80-81, the number of clients served under
this contract has declined steadily through attrition. Some of the
clients have moved out of the area, some have retired, and some
have passed away. At this time there are only 2 individuals being
served under this contract.
Also as expected, the amount of the annual contract has steadily
declined since FY 80-81. Between FY 87-88 and FY 91-92, the annual
spending limit has decreased from $21,000 to $11,500. The actual
amount billed in FY 91-92 was $9,500.
The two remaining clients being served under the contract are
severely multiply disabled individuals for whom there are no other
services available. They are Anna Loredo and Rickey Rocconi.
Anna Loredo is a resident of Byron. She is 36 years old. She is
functionally retarded due to brain damage which occurred as a
result of an auto accident in 1975 while she was attending
Sacramento City College. Anna lives with her mother and has been
working in our program daily for the past 15 years .
Ricky Rocconi lives with his grandmother in Walnut Creek. He is 29
years old and has a diagnosis of Autism. He has been working in
our program daily for the past 13 years .
Because there are no other services available for these two
severely disabled individuals, and because of the importance of
these services in their lives, we ask the County to please seek an
alternative way of saving the $9,500 slated to be cut from the
92-P3 budget.

ATTACHMENT
Meals on Wheels serves a hot dinner meal to homebound clients of
all ages Monday through ''riday. Meals are also available for
weekends and holidays . Cost to clients is based on a sliding
scale. Deliveries are made by volunteers who check on each
client ' s safety and well-being and act as the clients ' link with
the community. Our 300+ volunteers deliver meals, raise funds
and represent us in the community.
Homebound clients who cannot provide for their daily meals are
identified and referred by social workers, physicians, hospital
discharge planners or relatives . Some are self-referred and the
need is assessed by program staff according to the following
criteria .
a) Unable to go out alone for meals
b) Unable to do own shopping and/or cooking
c) No one in household available to help with shopping
and/or cooking.
Meals on Wheels is often the basic concrete service that allows
an individual to remain safely in their own home and enables them
to avoid institutionalization.
Clients served are striving to remain in their own homes but are
unable to prepare a hot meal or go out to shop for food. 71% are
over 75; 33% are over 85. Some are younger and disabled. 64%
live alone; in some cases we serve both husband and wife.
Clients may be frail due to illness or injury; some are
forgetful or confused; some are mentally alert but physically
disabled due to stroke, arthritis, vision loss or other handicap.
42% are low income. Younger clients with special needs or
disabling diseases such as AIDS cancer, etc. , are also served by
Meals on Wheels .
Meals on Wheels enables many clients to remain in their own homes
rather than being admitted to nursing homes. Hospital stays can
often be shortened when meal delivery is part of the discharge
plan. Adequate nutrition improves the client's physical and
mental status . Since clients tend to be socially isolated, the
daily visits of the volunteers provide vital human contact and
early detection of emergency or problem situations .

1 . The Family Stress Center Counseling Program prevents child
abuse. prevents placement of children into foster care. and
breaks the cycle of child abuse so that the abused child
does not grow up to become a child abuser_
2. The Counseling Program is cost effective. By reducing child
abuse, costs of medical care, foster care, delinquency and
incarceration are also reduced.
3. The Counseling Program provides low fee or no fee counseling
to individuals, couples. children and families mandated by
the Court into counseling.
4. The Counseling Program served 953 individuals in fiscal year
90/91 at an average cost of $150 tier individual- County
funding covered onIX S60 of this and the rest was covered by
Family Stress Center fundraising and volunteers. Clients
are seen weekly for an average duration of 9 months.
5. Mi.lciades Morales, LCSW, heads the Family Systems Traininq
Proqram which attracts HA counselors to develop skills in
family counseling with non-motivated dysfunctional families.
We have to counseling interns each year who commit to the
Counseling Program for one year. Each intern volunteers 15-
25 hours/week which we value at $20,000 annually per intern.
Mr. Morales also provides ongoing counseling to an average
of five families who are monolingual in Spanish.
6. Even if private counselors will accept Medical, their fee of
$29 per visit cannot compare to the Family Stress Center
Counseling Program' s cost of "�60 per year per client for 9
months of weekly_counseling for Clients MANDATED into
counseling.
CPS Parent Aide PJCograa_ $20-665-6
Three fulltime Parent Aides provide services to families reported
to Children' s Protective Services for Child abuse. Eliminating
this program would severely disrupt the Family Reunification
Program.
1. CPS Parent Aides teach parenting classes to CPS parents.
frequently as part of the Court's reunification plan.
Parent. Aides effectively engage parents to learn non -abusive
parenting techniques in classes that are ethnically
sensitive and relevant. Childcare fa provided.
2. CPS Parent Aides alleviate the overloaded CPS workers by
driving children to medical, legal and other appointments.
3. CPS Parent Aides provide supervizfon for Court-ordered
visitations between parents and children in foster care.
thus en.rsu.rina the child 's safety.
4. Two Parent Aides work out of they CPS Antioch office and one
works out of the Richmond office_ Two are African-American;
one is Latina. All three live in the communities they
serve.
S. CPS Parent Aides served 816 clients in fiscal year 90/91.
Statistics are not yet compiled .7or fiscal year 91/92 .
6. Family Stress Center matched county funds with 512.655 last
year.
7. Twenty-four CPS workers wrote the attached letter testifying
grave concern over the potential loss of the FSG Parent
Aides. Assigning the duties of the FSC Parent Aides to the
CPS workers would more than double the cost. Someone will
have to drive the children to medical and legal
appointments. Likewise, someone: will have to supervise the
visits between the natural parent and child.

Contact. Larry Sly, Executive Director
Budget: $930,660
FTE employees: 13

Contract name: Countywide Emergency Food Ser\ice
Number: 20-070
Amount: $119,2801
Iver ging resources: County funds are matched 7 to 1 by donations from corporations,
foundations, and individuals.
Services provided: We distribute 5 million pounds of food annually to 110,000 people
served by emergency food pantries, to soup kitchens that provide 200,000 meals per year, to
2,500 Brown Bag recipients per week, to 140,000 people per month through the TEFAP
program, and to 7,500 other individuals through other programs.
257o �u : We could continue to support emergency food pantries and soup kitchens, but
would make fewer deliveries to them. Our Brown Bag program serving 2,500 needy seniors
would be cut in half and our Project Glean program would only harvest farms, not 500
backyards as at present.
50% cut: We could continue to support emergency food pantries and soup kitchens at
current levels. Service to other programs would be reduced because we wouldn't have staff
to solicit as much food.
75% cut: We could keep all of our programs intact and probably keep them operating at
current levels. We could not expand services to meet the increased demand for food that is
expected.
Contract riarne and number: Countywide Emergency F&A Service; 20-070
Amount: $119,280

Services Prov.ift-d: Collecting and distributing donated food to local emergency and
supplemental feeding programs and operating the Brown Bag .program for low-income

Other information: We prevent the waste of a valuable -esource--food--and successfully fight
a major problem--hutrger. A substantial cut or elimination of county funding would mean
that hundreds of thousands of pounds of good, wholesome food would not be collected and
distributed to hungry people. Our services would be greatly impaired at a tune when,
because of the current economic crisis, even more peopl•: will be turning to us for assistance.
Currently v e are providing food to 33,500 per month--a *40 percent increase over last year.
