A PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING ARGUM93
PUBLIC SAFETY A CQ SORS
Tuberculosis is one of the oldest plagues in the world. It
has killed more people than any other communicable disease we
know of. It was not long ago that- it took the lives of ten
percent of those that became actively infected. However, by
the 1940s deaths attributed to tuberculosis had been reduced
by 97% due to the development of public health systems.
We in this country have enjoyed an unprecedented period of
freedom from publicly spread diseases which has allowed 2 to
3 generations of Americans to be productive and to persue
their dreams without the fear or even the thought that they
might be struck down or incapacitated from diseases like
tuberculosis. As a result of this complacency, we have taken
the Public Health System for granted and we have allowed it
to deteriorate.
This is a DANGEROUS MISTAKE we cannot afford to make. In the
next 20 years HIV will kill more Americans than have been
killed in all the wars we have fought since the Civil War.
The cost of treating victims of this disease is going to be
enormous.
But HIV was only a warning. People have some choice in the
matter of becoming infected or not. With diseases like
tuberculosis, many may have no choice what-so-ever.
Tuberculosis is spread through the air. And it may get down
to a matter of chance whether you or your loved one become
infected.
This country dropped the ball in preventing the early spread
of HIV, and as a consequence, at every level of government we
are feeling the financial costs of our short sightedness.
But that cost will be dwarfed if we drop the ball with
tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is back with us, its on the rise, and it has a
new twist. We now have strains that are resistant to our
best drugs. Those strains develop because we have people who
do not take their medication to kill tuberculosis the way
they are supposed to. Their failure to comply with treatment
threatens public safety an increases public financial costs.
A simple example can illustrate the point. It can cost as
little as $175 to treat and cure an infected person without
symptoms. If not treated, that person can go on to become
symptomatic and require treatment costing $4000 or more. The
symptomatic person can spread the disease to those that he
comes in contact with. Costs. can multiply and skyrocket. If
the strain is drug resistant, the costs can run into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The only weapon we have against the spread of tuberculosis
and the development of resistant strains is the Public Health
System. In Contra Costa County that means the Public Health
Nurses and the Trackers who carry out Directly Observed
Therapy.
The Public Health .Nurse is one of the most versatile
clinicians in the health department's arsenal against disease
and one of the most valuable resources in promoting health
and saving the county tax dollar. A registered Nurse with
special credentials from the state, the Public Health Nurse
operates at every level of society. PHNs are the advocates
for those in our county that cannot speak for their health
needs.
Each year brings new budget cuts and we lose more public
health nurses. More cuts have been put before the Board of
Supervisors again this year. The cost of treating a single
drug resistant case of tuberculosis can be more than the
total cost of all the Public Health Nursing positions that
are being considered for elimination. Cutting Public Health
Nurses is gambling with Public Safety and history tells us we
will all lose.
Tuberculosis in California, 1992
Corrected June 14, 1993
Note: rates are based on newly released population estimates based
on the 1990 Census.
Trends
• The 5382 tuberculosis cases reported in California in 1992 were the most
cases reported in the state in 34 years, and represent a 2% increase from
1991. By contrast, the number of tuberculosis cases in the U.S. increased
1.5% in the last year. From 1985 to 1992, the number of cases reported
in California has increased 54%.
• In 1992, California again reported the largest number of cases of any state.
One in 5 U.S. tuberculosis cases was reported from California.
• The annual case rate of tuberculosis in California in 1992 was 17.2
cases/100,000 population, compared to the U.S. case rate of 10.5 per 100,000.
The reported annual case rate of tuberculosis in California has increased
30% since 1985, when the rate was 13.2 per 100,000.
Race/Ethnicity
• California's Asians, African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos face
tuberculosis case rates that are roughly 11, 7, and 5 times higher
than non-Hispanic whites. For Asians in California, the annual case rate
was 53 cases per 100,000 in 1992 (up 5% since 1985); for African Americans,
the annual case rate was 35 cases per 100,000 (up 70% since 1985); for
Hispanics/Latinos, 24 cases per 100,000 (up 18% since 1985).
• Of the total number of cases, 38% were Hispanics/Latinos, 31% were Asians,
16% were non-Hispanic whites, and 14 1.% were African Americans.
Immigration
• 61% of California tuberculosis cases occurred in foreign-born
persons. The foreign-born comprised 95% of all Asian cases,
and 73% of all Hispanic/Latino cases in 1992.
• In children under age 5, the annual case rate increased 37% between 1985 and
1992. The number of TB cases in children under 15 years of age has increased
80% in the last 7 years. Of the 566 tuberculosis cases reported in California last
year in children under 15 years of age, 94% were non-whites and
Hispanics/Latinos. .
• Other age groups with striking increases in case rates are the 5-14 year olds
(whose annual case rate increased 57%), the 15-24 year olds (whose annual case
rate increased 44% since 1985), and the 25-44 year olds (whose annual case rate
increased 39%).
• Persons over 65 continue to have the highest case rate of any age group (27.8
cases per 100,000).
-MORE-
Geographic Distribution
• Los Angeles County reported 2325 tuberculosis cases in 1992, or 43% of the
state's total. In descending order by numbers of cases, other counties are
San Diego (433 cases), Orange (371), .San Francisco (355), Alameda (242), and
Santa Clara (227). Forty-two of the state's 58 counties reported 1 or more
tuberculosis cases in 1992.
• Of the counties that reported 25 or more cases, the 5 with the highest annual
case rates of tuberculosis are San Francisco (48 cases per 100,000 population),
Imperial (47 cases per 100,000), Kings (37 cases per 100,000), Tulare (27 cases
per 100,000), and Los Angeles (25 .cases per 100,000).
Other
• During the first quarter of 1992, 1.3% (6/471) of the M. tuberculosis isolates
tested in California were resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two
best anti-tuberculosis drugs. Fifteen percent of cases were resistant to at
least one drug.
• Among the 44,005 patients reported with TB in California between 1982 and
1992, 1,993 (4.5%) were also known to have acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS).
• Sixty-four percent .(3,437) of the tuberculosis cases reported in California
were males, and 36% .(1,945) were females.
• A. significant percentage of Californians are among the 12-to-15. million
people in the U.S. estimated to have: latent tuberculous infection. These
persons, though not infectious, carry the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, .
and could "break down" at a future time and develop active tuberculosis disease.
• In 1992, 149 (3%) of California's reported tuberculosis cases were dead at
the .time of diagnosis. Tuberculosis treatment was never'started, or was not
started until the day of death.
• These and the other factors in the current tuberculosis epidemic are under
investigation.
Tuberculosis Control :Branch
Division of Communicable Disease Control .1
California Department of Health Services
Revised June 14, 1993
1992 San Francisco Bay Area
Tuberculosis Control Program Highlights
ALAMEDA COUNTY
• The current tuberculosis (TB)epidemic in Alameda County seems to have peaked in 1990 with
296 TB cases reported. This compares with 267 cases reported in 1991 and 223 in 1992. In
1992, the City of Oakland had the 8th highest TB case rate in the U.S. among cities with
populations of 250,000 or greater.
• There is currently a pilot project to entice those at high risk(i.e.,the homeless,injection drug
users)to participate in TB skin testing at congregate community meal sites in exchange for a
warm meal. The results so far are very promising.
CITY OF BERKELEY
• Since 1990,the number of TB cases reported in Berkeley have almost doubled. In 1992 there
were 19 cases of TB/100,000 population. In addition, Berkeley ranks 4th among California
cities in the number of cumulative AIDS cases/100,000 population. Berkeley residents who are
at highest risk for TB include those who are HIV-infected,foreign-bom persons from high TB
prevalence countries,and the homeless.
• The City of Berkeley Department of Health and Human Services TB Control Program offers
community TB education, screening,treatment, and Public Health Nurse case management.
Since 1992,the program has also provided TB training for staffs of community agencies; a
referral process to speed the entry into care for those at highest risk; and a food voucher
incentive program to encourage homeless patients to take their and-TB drugs.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
• From 1985 to 1991, the TB case rate increased by 61% (from 8.2 to 13.2/100,000 population).
In 1992,the rate in the County's West(Richmond)Region was 3.6 times the rate in the Central
(Walnut Creek,Martinez and Concord),and East(Antioch,Pittsburg)Regions. Within the
West Region,the rate of TB for African Americans was 2.6 times the rate for all other
race/ethnicity categories combined(55.1 versus 21.5/100,000 population).
• Clients at risk for not completing treatment are given what is known as directly observed
therapy(DOT). Under this program,a Communicable Disease Technician administers DOT to
clients at their homes, at work,on the street,in parks, at liquor stores, in"crack" cocaine
houses and in other settings. These clients are also offered other incentives, such as
transportation vouchers,referrals for drug treatment,housing,and other social services to
assist them in completing treatment.
MARIN COUNTY
• For 1992,Marin County's reported active TB cases(24)increased 33% over 1991 (18).
Marin's case rate increased from 7.8/100,000 population to 10.4(similar to the national rate).
Fifty percent of cases(24)were among the foreign-born(of these,42%were Asians and 33%
Hispanics/Latinos). Twenty five percent(6)were reported out of San Quentin State Prison(no
increase from 1991). In 1992 12.5%cases (3)were known to be HIV positive. Ten new cases
have been reported through May in 1993.
• Several new efforts aimed at enhanced screening of targeted high risk groups are underway:
selective TB screening has been integrated into the County Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic;
a mobile Community Health Screening Outreach Clinic offers TB screening and follow-up in
two locations with a high density of high-risk populations;TB screening and follow-up is now
part of the ongoing services at the Indigent Medical Program at the Marin Community Clinic;
and the San Rafael School District will be requiring TB screening of all new students entering
the system. The State Departments of Corrections and Health Services are collaborating their
efforts with those of San Quentin'medical staff to control and prevent TB at the prison.
SAN FRANCISCO CITY AND COUNTY
• In 1992,San Francisco had the 4th highest national TB case rate for cities of 250;060 or more
populations, and has ranked among the top six nationally since 1979. It has the highest
incidence rate of TB (49 per 100,000) among all the counties in California. Cases of TB have
been steadily increasing since 1985.
• Of the 333 new cases reported in 1991,48.4% were Asian American, 20.1% were European
American, 19.2% were African American, '10.2% were Hispanic/Latino American,and 2%
were other. Sixty percent of the TB cases are among immigrants who come from countries
where TB is endemic. In 1992,total repomd TB cases increased eight percent to 355. The
greatest increase in incidence has been among African American men between the ages of 25-
44.
• In the past year, the nationally recognized San Francisco Department of Public Health TB
Control Program has implemented several new projects aimed at containing the TB epidemic.
They have: instituted a TB screening progrzun in the County jails;opened a satellite facility in
the Tenderloin(an area of the City with a significant percentage of residents who are at high
risk for active TB); conducted outreach and directly observed therapy in a Tenderloin hotel;
assisted in developing screening programs in homeless shelters; conducted over 30 TB
educational workshops with almost 800 staff who work in agencies that serve those at high risk
of developing active TB; and worked with the American Lung Association and a number of
community-based organizations in developing TB educational and training materials.
SAN MATEO COUNTY
• San Mateo County has seen an increase in TB among younger people,including children as
well as those at increased risk for,or known to be,infected with the HIV. This is in large part
interrelated with poverty and drug use.
• The county has recently opened satellite clinics in South San Francisco and East Palo Alto. As
a result,TB patients residing nearby have'been able to more easily access services,including
DOT in the clinics.
SANTA CLARA COUNTY
• In 1992,227 cases of active TB were reported in Santa Clara County,an 87%increase over the
124 cases reported in 1988. Each TB case:in the county is investigated by the health
department and close contacts are notified.To screen for latent TB infection,all kindergarten
and high school students entering school for the first time are required to have a TB skin test.
• The Santa Clara County Health Department TB Control Program works closely with the
American Lung Association(ALA)to keep tuberculosis from spreading. In fact,the local ALA
began as the Santa Clara County Tuberculosis Association in 1911.This group was
instrumental in opening a sanitarium for TB patients,and in the late 1940's ran a mobile TB
screening program for county residents.
SOLANO COUNTY
• The county has noticed an increase in cases among persons 44 years of age and younger, and
continues to work closely with the Califomia Medical Facility(CMF)State Prison in Vacaville.
CMF has an HIV-dedicated unit,where they continue to screen for and treat inmates with TB
infection and active disease.
• The county plans to hire two outreach workers in the near future to provide DOT and other
services in the community.
BAY AREA SUMMARY
• The 1,091 cases of active TB reported in the seven Bay Area Counties represented 20%of the
state's total(5,382)cases in 1992. If the Bay Area were a separate state,it would have been
the state reporting the 6th most TB cases in the U.S. in 1992. As with other regions of
California, immigration,poverty(including homelessness,incarceration,and drug use),and
the HIV epidemic are factors helping to fuel the Bay Area's continuing TB problem. A
worrisome trend continues to be the increases in younger persons with TB. This included 90
pediatrric cases(TB in a person under 15 years of age)reported in the Bay Area Counties in
1992.

Phase I position reduction from 4 FTE to 1 FTE in the
Home Health Agency while: maintaining the Phase I budget
reduction target of $350,000.
DIRECT the Health Services Director to report back to the
Board on September 28, 1993 with a status
report/implementation plan on each program and any
specific position reductions deemed necessary at that
time to achieve the PhaE-,,e I budget targets.
Court and Justice System Recommendations:
17 . ACKNOWLEDGE the offer from Sheriff Warren Rupf to recommend to
the Inmate Welfare Fund Committee that up to $100,000 of
Inmate Welfare Funds be allocated to the County Library for
the period September 1, 1993 through June 30, 1994 to maintain
the current level of service in the adult detention
facilities, and
ENCOURAGE the Inmate Welfare Committee at its meeting on
August 12, 1993 to act favorably on this recommendation,
which, if approved, will eliminate the need to layoff 1.5 FTE
Library Assistant II employees in the County Library.
18. DIRECT the :County Administrator to explore with the Superior
and Municipal Courts and related justice agencies the
feasibility of achieving further efficiencies and cost savings
through consolidation of in-custody criminal matters in
Martinez and integration of Superior and Municipal Court
administration.
19 . CONSIDER the report from the Revenue Task Force (See
Attachment C) concerning the feasibility of using correctional
officers in the County jails.
6
20 . ACKNOWLEDGE that because of the failure of the State to
fulfill its commitments regarding Trial Court Funding,
including the taking of court filing and other fees, and fines
and forfeitures from the County, a gap of approximately
$6,049,500 exists between what the State appears to be
providing the County in Trial Court Funds and the amount
required to support the current level of operations of the
courts.
21. RECOGNIZE that, in cooperation with the Superior and Municipal
Courts, approximately $2,742,000 has been identified to close
this gap, leaving an amount of $3, 307 ,500 that has to be
identified, and take the following additional actions to
identify further expenditure reductions and revenue
enhancements :
* EXPLORE the transfer of adult supervision deputies in the
Probation Department to juvenile supervision/placement
diversion for possible savings due to ability to claim
Federal Title IV-E reimbursement. (This would have the
additional programmatic benefit of putting scarce
probation services into the juvenile area where there is
likely to be a greater benefit. )
* INITIATE an enhanced placement diversion program in the
Probation Department that could result in net County cost
savings in placement costs currently budgeted in the
Social Service Department.
* IDENTIFY the extent to which new revenues may accrue to
the Social Service Department because of ability to claim
Federal Title IV-A reimbursement for emergency assistance
in the child welfare services area.
* WORK with the Municipal Courts to establish a more
aggressive traffic fine amnesty program if SB 149, which
is now pending final action on the Assembly Floor, is
enacted in order to increase anticipated revenue.
* WORK with the Municipal Courts to increase revenues from
imposing civil assessments of $250 on persons who have
failed to appear in court or pay fines.
* COOPERATE with the Municipal Court to determine the
amount of salary savings that can be realized from the
Municipal Court vacancies.
* DIRECT the County Administrator to report back to the
Board on September 28, 1993 with a plan to make further
adjustments in any departmental budgets to close any
funding gap that remains after the full extent of State
reductions are known.

BACKGROUND:
A. INTRODUCTION
On July 22, 1993, the Board of Supervisors held a Budget
Workshop. As a result of that Workshop, staff from the County
Administrator's Office and several departments were asked to
return to the Board with reports on 17 separate issues or to
perform tasks as outlined below. In addition, the Board asked
staff to review eight of the mandate items and identify what,
if any, savings could be generated from the relief of each of
these mandates . This report. is intended to respond to those
directions .
B. REPORT ON ASSIGNMENTS
1. Determine from other counties the status and efficacy of
their finger-imaging programs.
As was reported to the Board of June 22, 1993, Contra
Costa County's interest in General Assistance (GA)
finger-imaging programs is based on the reported success
in other counties in deterring welfare fraud (L.A. County
and Alameda County) and upon the need to maintain parity
with other Bay Area counties (San Francisco and Alameda) .
Alameda County has had a finger-imaging program since
February 1993. Since 'then, GA caseload has dropped by
500. The preliminary evaluation is that the program is
cost effective and that it prevents duplicate GA grants .
Alameda County has reported that they have a minimal
number of objections to finger-imaging by clients .
In San Francisco County, finger-imaging is currently ;
being reviewed by the Social Policy Committee for
necessary changes in Gid regulations. According to San
Francisco's staff, discussion is focussed on program
regulations, not prograLM cost. Following the review by
the Social Policy Committee, the program will go to the
Board of Supervisors .
Los Angeles County initiated finger-imaging in July 1991 .
It was initially projected to avoid $20.4 million in
costs over 5 years (based on a 62,600 caseload) . System
cost avoidance to date is approximately $8 million to $9
million, according to LA County staff. Cost avoidance
from the first six months of operation was $5 .4 million.
Finger-imaging is considered a successful program for LA
County.
fi
Orange County analyzed the finger-imaging program on a
cost justification basis . The study found that the
program would result in avoided GA costs if it deterred
a number of fraudulent applications/grants per month (out
of a GA client base of 3,000) . The study also found that
2/3 of the projected cost avoidance would probably result
from LA County client transfers to Orange County.
Consequently, the Orange County Board of Supervisors
directed staff to work with LA County to ensure timely,
complete sharing of data.
2 . Develop a program to give General Assistance (GA) clients
a financial incentive to get a job.
The following GA Work Incentive Program proposal is
submitted to the Board for its consideration. To
implement the program, it would be necessary for staff to
return to the Board for adoption of a resolution
reflecting the Board's policy directives regarding the
program. Staff believes that program implementation,
including changes to the department manual, handouts to
GA applicants, notices to current GA recipients and staff
training, will be required before the program is
implemented.
GA Work Incentive Payments - The Department proposes to
use principles from the current AFDC Work Incentive
Program as a guide for the proposed GA Work Incentive
Program. Program payments would be based on the GA
client's current GA grant, with an exemption for 1/3 of
gross earned income and a credit of $50/month for work-
related expenses. (The $50 is based on the estimated
mandatory FICA and federal income tax withholding for
$500/month gross earnings, the maximum earnings for
eligibility in the proposed work incentive program) . For
example, the incentive payment for a GA recipient with
gross earnings of $350/month and GA aid payment of $300
per month would be calculated as follows:
Gross earnings $350
Less standard work expenses 50
$300
Less Exempt 1/3 100
Nonexempt earnings $200
Current GA payment $300
Less Nonexempt earnings 200
Work Incentive Payment $100
Gross earnings $350
Work Incentive Payment 100
Total to GA recipient $450
9
The GA recipient would receive $150 more (50%) than
he/she would with the GA grant alone ($300) .
Moximum Work Incentive Payment - Maximum payment under
the Work Incentive program may not exceed applicable aid
payment for the GA client.
Eligibility Criteria - All GA clients would be eligible
based on their gross earnings.
Reporting of Earned Income - GA clients will be
responsible for timely reports of employment and
verifiable earned income.
Work Incentive Payment Effective Date - The effective
date for a Work Incentive payment would be the first of
the following month.
Participation Period - Participation in the Work
Incentive program would be limited to 6 months. The GA
client would be eligible to participate again only after
he/she has been off of GA .for six consecutive months.
The Department is prepared to return to the Board by
August 17, 1993 with the necessary resolutions and
actions to put the Work Incentive program into place in
accordance with Board policy direction.
3 . Examine the feasibility of introducing legislation to
allow all departments involved in code enforcement to
recover their costs by placing the assessment charge on
the property tax bill, as fire districts and the Health
Services Department can do.
Under current law, fire districts and the Health Services
Department have statutory authority to assess the cost of
providing defined services to a property owner and add
the charge to the property tax bill, thereby recovering
the charge as soon as the property taxes are paid. This
authority has been widely used to reimburse fire
districts for the cost of the weed abatement program and
by the Health Services Department for rubbish removal
programs. The Health Services Department also has the
authority to charge fees to reimburse the County Health
Officer for the costs of enforcing applicable statutes,
orders, quarantines, rules and regulations. Health
Services can also charge for enforcement costs relating
to small water systems and for the food facilities
inspection program. These charges can all be added to
the property tax bill. While the Board of Supervisors
has adopted a number of Ordinances addressing various
1 i�
health and environmental issues, the only recovery option
available to the County, absent additional State law, is
a lien on the real property, which is not generally paid
until the property is sold.
Additional State legislation is needed in this area and
should be included again in the Board's 1994 Legislative
Program. However, this subject matter does not lend
itself to a quick, non-controversial solution such as
simply inserting language in one of the remaining
"Trailer Bills". We will, however, make this a major
issue in 1994.
4 . Examine the feasibility of preparing basic Environmental
Impact Reports (EIR's) in-house, contracting out only for
specialized services.
The following cost impacts can be expected if the County
pursues the policy of preparing EIR's with County
personnel. Start-up costs are high, because specialized
staff will need to be hired to cover the range of issues
found in an EIR. Assuming that the County cannot charge
both for producing an EIR and reviewing it, in-house
preparation could result in a loss of revenue. The
County currently receives a 30% surcharge on consultant-
prepared EIR's .
In-house EIR preparation raises the following performance
and staffing issues. Existing staff will be diverted
from review of development proposals to preparation of
CEQA documents . Pressure will increase on staff to cut
costs or speed up the EIR process, as well as the
development review process, resulting in a less desirable
work product. Completion of EIR's or other projects may
be slowed due to staff diversion to other projects of
interest to the Board, as occurred with Dougherty Valley.
The boom and bust nature of EIR work is managed in the
private sector through payment of overtime and bonuses
and rapid changes in staffing levels and work hours.
These management tools are less available to the public
sector, hence the net effect will be to exacerbate the
existing situation of unpaid overtime in the Community
Development department.
The Community Development Department will develop
staffing cost estimates and further review the potential
benefits and disadvantages of this proposal.
11
5 . Investigate the feasibility of contracting with
additional cities for building inspection services.
Co.,tra Costa County currently contracts with Lafayette,
Moraga, Orinda, and Clayton to provide building
inspection services . These contracts were almost lost
prior to the establishment of the Growth Management and
Economic Development Agency (GMEDA) and the selection of
the new Director of Building Inspection. The contracts
were almost lost because it was felt by the previous
Director that the costs exceeded the revenues received
and that the additional work required by cities, in areas
of design and specialized conditions of approval, did not
warrant the expense.
Staff has spent many hours working with these
jurisdictions to improve the level of service and to have
costs more closely match revenue. Staff in GMEDA believe
that the contract cities are satisfied at present with
the County's performance.
Communities where growth is occurring recognize that the
revenues generated by Building Inspection for large
projects and tracts provided positive cash flow for the
budget. Conversely, the cost of servicing individual
building permits may exceed the revenue from those
permits . The County and other jurisdictions must balance
large projects and small projects to create a positive
revenue picture. Also, tremendous pressure exists to
keep costs down.
Staff would recommend that the Board of Supervisors be
careful not to accept high-cost, low-revenue situations
because it will throw the County's budget out of balance.
Other cities have been forced to lay off personnel. :
Having the County contract with cities could increase the
cities ' layoffs . Other jurisdictions have already
offered to compete to provide services to Lafayette,
Moraga and Orinda and thereby bid against the County due
to the layoff situation in the other cities.
Staff will notify the other fourteen jurisdictions and
make them aware that the County will consider contracting
Building Inspection services for their jurisdictions .
Staff will report back to the Board of Supervisors on the
responses which are received.
12
6. Determine the feasibility of integrating fire and
building inspection services for cities as has been done
for County services.
The Director, GMEDA, has indicated that it would be
appropriate for his office and Chief Little to convene a
workshop with all city building inspectors and all fire
chiefs in the County in an effort to explore the extent
to which such integration can occur. It is, therefore,
recommended that such a Workshop be sponsored by the
Board of Supervisors and that Mr. Alexeeff and Chief
Little plan and conduct such a workshop.
7 . Establish a system to notify the public of library cuts
in consultation with the County Administrator.
The County Library will be creating a fact sheet for the
public which details what the library budget and service
reductions are and the necessity for these cuts, based on
actions taken by the State in abolishing the Special
District Augmentation Fund (SDAF) . In addition, a
bookmark will be placed in every book checked out
beginning in early August, containing a summary of the
same information. Signs will also be posted in all the
branches and the Central Library, and on the doors of all
locations, giving the new library hours for all locations
and the new toll-free telephone reference number for
patrons to use when their location is closed. Press
releases and Public Service Announcements (PSA's) will
also be sent out providing the same information about the
reduced services and will include the information about
why the reductions are necessary. Library support groups
have also been posting signs in the library branches with
details of the budget reductions which urge library
patrons to contact their legislators. The text of all
these notices and publicity will be cleared with the
County Administrator's office before release.
8. Determine the feasibility of obtaining a grant to set up
an In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) registry.
SB 35 (the principal welfare "Trailer Bill" to the State
Budget) allows a county to establish a public authority
to control IHSS provider payments. Funding available for
the public authority is currently unknown. However,
counties interested in creating a public authority can
send a written notice of intent to the state auditor's
office upon which they would be put on a list for funding
(in the event it becomes available) .
13
The public authority would become the "employer" of the
provider for purposes of wages and benefits. As an
employer, the public authority could be responsible for
Social Security taxes and other benefits . Consequently,
this option could increase net county costs for the IHSS
program (the County pays 35% of provider costs) .
9. Determine whether mental. health costs are included in the
booking fee and what impact AB 2286 will have on the
County's revenue.
AB 2286, which represents a compromise between the
California State Sheriffs' Association and the California
Police Chiefs Association, is an attempt at resolving
booking fee sub-issues legislatively, rather than through
litigation. The bill has made its way successfully
through several committees and, if it passes and is
signed into law, threatens to reduce booking fees and
revenues to the counties. The bill, as amended, has
three major areas of impact: 1) it defines the cost
components to be included in "booking or other
processing" ; 2) it restricts the counties on what types
of bookings may be charged; and 3) it requires counties
to levy a fee, as a condition of probation, against
persons arrested by county Sheriff's deputies who are
convicted of a criminal. offense. We are currently in
compliance with most of the provisions of this bill, but
expect some reduction in revenues due to the reduced
scope of eligible costs and the limitation on types of
chargeable bookings . Contra Costa County's fee
encompasses all cost components such as capital costs,
food and other minor tasks, which will apparently not be
allowed under this new bill. Depending upon any further
amendments to the bill and its interpretation by the
courts, AB 2286 may result in a notable reduction in
booking fee revenue. The bill may also have some future
impact for our County because it restricts charges for
duplicate booking tasks in the event that our cities open
jails or enter into a consolidated booking process with
the County. Fortunately, the bill was recently amended
to make its provisions prospective in nature and to
preclude the courts from looking to the bill for guidance
in booking fee litigation, major concern of counties
involved in lawsuits.
10. Examine the efficacy of contracting out health detention
services, including joint efforts for regional
administration.
lit
The Health Services Department last issued an RFP for
detention health services in 1987. Of the three final
bids, two would have resulted in increased costs to the
County ($103,.641 and $432,289) , while the other would
have resulted in only minor savings ($19,760) . Since
that time, the Board of Supervisors has authorized
reductions in detention health services . In FOE 92-93,
the Board reduced $1. 1 million from the program. For FOE
93-94, staff is recommending an additional $350,000
expenditure reduction.
The Health Services Department believes that it would be
worthwhile to explore the feasibility of reducing costs
through regional administration in conjunction with
Alameda County. Consequently, the Department is
recommending the Board authorize and direct them to work
with Alameda County to examine both the feasibility and
cost effectiveness of such a joint administration.
11. Examine funding alternatives for the Battered Women's
Alternative and Rape Crisis Center contracts at a 90%
funding level .
The Board requested staff to investigate funding
alternatives for the Battered Women's Alternative (BWA)
and Rape Crisis Center (RCC) contracts at 90% of their
1992-93 fiscal year funding level. These would be:
Total Proposed County Funding as a
FOE 92-93 Budget' County Funding Percent of Budget
BWA $1,368,470 $ 84,183 6%
RCC $ 652,416 $ 74,088 11%
Total $2,020,886 $ 158,271 8%
' Data from Audited Financial Statements
Both : these agencies also receive monies for their
agencies through other contracts with the County. RCC's
contracts have historically included victim assistance
contracts through the Office of Criminal Justice Planning
in cooperation with the District Attorney. In the 1992-
93 fiscal year, these contracts were expanded to include
a special emphasis contract for West County and a
contract for East County. For the 1993-94 fiscal year,
contracts include:
15
CONTRACT AMOUNT
West/Central County Victim Assistance $ 82,072
East County Victim Assistance $ 70,889
Special Emphasis West County $ 75,000
TOTAL $227,9612
2 Excludes contract currently under consideration.
BWA also receives numerous contracts from the County.
Current 1993-94 contracts include:
CONTRACT AMOUNT
Dispute Resolution (to 11/1/93) $ 3,7833
Battering Abatement Training (for men) $ 12,426
Domestic Violence\Victim Assistance ------4
TOTAL $ 16,2095
3 RFP is being issued, $150,000 available. BM received $11,348 from this funding source in FOB
92-93.
4 $73,786 is available to fund Domestic Violence Victim]Assistance for the 1993-94 fiscal year.
Contracts have not yet been negotiated for these monies.
5 Excludes contracts currently under ccrosideration.
For the 1992-93 fiscal year, the Board funded BWA and RCC
contracts through a variety of sources : CDBG funds
($5,000) , taxpayer contributions ($315) , the Board of
Supervisors budget; i .e. , Supervisor Smith's salary
($32,000) , the District Attorney's Fund Balance ($50,000)
and a cancelled encumbrance ($15,276) .
Funding sources for the 1993-94 fiscal year are
considered in the referral regarding the Health Services
Department's budget alternatives .
12 . Examine budgetary alternatives to reducing the Antioch
homeless shelter contract, juvenile hall mental health
services, and the contract with the Center for Human
Development.
The Health Services Department's Phase II Budget
Reduction Plan depends upon reductions to the Antioch
Homeless Shelter ($335,000) , a reduction in the contract
with the Center for Human Development ($25,000) and a
reduction in Juvenile Hall mental health services
16
($130,000) . When added to the restoration amounts for
the Battered Women's Alternative and Rape Crisis Center
($158,000) , the total under consideration is $648,000.
There are no "good" alternatives to these reductions.
The Health Services Department, like all departments
within Contra Costa County, must reduce essential
programs in order to balance its budget. The Department
has developed the following alternatives for the Board's
consideration:
• Medical Detention Services : provides all primary
care medical services for inmates in the County's
detention facilities, including diagnostic testing,
treatment, nursing care, obstetrical, dental and
other services. Surgery is provided at Merrithew
Memorial Hospital. FTE: 42 .5
Adjustment: Eliminate medical services at the West
County Detention Facility; eliminate 6 FTE. Net
County Cost reduction: $350,000.
Impact: Sick call exams would be referred to
Merrithew Memorial Hospital outpatient department.
Inmates with health-related problems (i.e. , meds or
ongoing evaluation) would be cared for at the
Martinez Detention Facility; consequently,
increasing their census and staffing demands.
Emergencies would be handled through the emergency
medical care system and triage at the nearest
hospital (Brookside) .
• We Care Society: provides day treatment and family
services for East and Central County children under
the age of 6 at high risk of emotional
disturbances. These children have psycho-social
delays; exhibit language behavior and relationship
difficulties; and come from family environments
with abuse, neglect and/or drug problems.
Adjustment: Reduce the current $343,780 contract
by $18,000, a 5% reduction.
Impact: Program capacity (number of day treatment
slots) and staffing would be reduced proportionate
to the 5% decrease in funding.
17
• YMCA of East Bay: provides onsite school
counseling/therapy for emotionally and socially
maladjusted students and their families in the West
Contra Costa Unified School District (Y-Team
Program) . Licensed clinicians and their interns
provide assessment.; individual, group and family
therapy and consultation; and crisis intervention
services. Most children come from family
environments with abuse, neglect, drug problems,
violence and/or desertion.
Adjustment: Reduce the $108,314 contract by
$7,000, a 6 .5% reduction.
Impact: The Y-Teams depend on interns that are
trained, supervised and supported at the school
sites by paid staff. The adjustment would reduce
paid staff and interns, with consequent reductions
in service levels for this high-risk population.
• Mental Health Administration/Management:
Management and administration include supervision
and monitoring of service delivery and client
complaints; utilization review and quality
assurance; interagency coordination; contract
negotiations and administration; staff development
and training; program planning; development of
policies and procedures; and other activities
necessary to cost effective, quality service to the
citizens of Contra Costa County. FTE: 20.9
Adjustment: Reduce administrative staff by 1 FTE.
Net County Cost reduction of $75,000.
Impact: Reductions of oversight and leadership for
the Mental Health Division .
Management/administrative staff has been subject to
many budget reductions over the past 10 years.
Under the Phase I reductions, the Department
eliminated 6 fulltime equivalent (FTE) and 1.67 FTE
personal services contracts. Phase II reductions
would eliminate the Medical Director administrative
functions in the adult, outpatient and mental
health crisis clinics . This adjustment would
further reduce the management/administrative
capability of the Mental Heath Division.
18
• Family Preservation Program: provides intensive
social work services, including mental health
services to children and their families when the
child is at risk of out-of-home placement. This
program has had excellent success in preventing the
entry of children into labor-intensive and
expensive out-of-home placement. Overall, the
program reduces County costs for foster care.
Adjustment: Realize $108,000 in new revenue by
claiming mental health rehabilitation option
funding for mental health services to eligible
children. This will entail an interagency
agreement between the Social Service Department and
Health Services Department, qualifying Family First
and the other family preservation service
contractors as a Medi-Cal eligible providers; and
ancillary adjustments to reporting and billing
systems.
Impact: No impact to the children and families
currently served by the Family Preservation
Program. The revenue expectations for this
adjustment are ambitious and consequently, the
mental health division of the Health Services
Department will be at risk in achieving these new
revenue targets.
• Supervisor Smith's Salary and Benefits : salary and
benefits to Supervisor Smith, who has volunteered
to donate his salary and benefits to ameliorate
mental health service reductions.
Adjustment: Net County Cost reduction of $65,000.
Impact: No impact to the Health Services
Department.
Although NOT RECOMMENDED AT THIS TIME, the Health
Services Department also examined the following budget
reduction alternatives:
• West County Mental Health Crisis Service: provides
emergency crisis intervention; i.e. , diagnosis and
treatment for mentally disturbed persons thought to
be a potential danger to themselves or others or to
be gravely disabled (unable to care for
themselves) .
19
Adjustment: Eliminate 2-3 FTE plus operating
costs. Net County Cost reduction of $130,000.
Impact: Patients urould be transported to Merrithew
Memorial Hospital in Martinez for initial
diagnostic assessment and emergency treatment. Any
delays in crisis treatment could result in a higher
percentage of patients requiring hospitalization.
Approximately, 5-15 patients per week or 260-780
patients per year will be affected by this
adjustment.
• Phoenix Programs Contracts (Multi-Service Centers) :
provides drop in services in West, Central and East
County to assist homeless, mentally disabled adults
with securing financial benefits; obtaining housing
and other stable residential placement; outreach
linkage and advocacy services; information referral
and linkage to mental health and medical services .
The three centers also provide showers, locked
storage facilities , use of the kitchen facilities,
mail receipt, phone? message center and vouchers for
housing, transportation, clothing and furniture.
Adjustment: Reduce the $1.41 million contract with
Phoenix Programs by $265,432, a 19% reduction.
Impact: Elimination of services to 910 clients per
year with a possible increase in admissions in
local crisis units, jails and emergency rooms .
This adjustment would also eliminate the system to
screen and admit clients to the Antioch Mental
Health Homeless Shelter.
13. Examine the Land Use Permit consequences of closing the
Antioch Homeless Shelter.
The Antioch Shelter operates under a land use permit from
the City of Antioch. According to Antioch planning
department staff, the use permit would expire six months
following cessation of operations. An extension would be
possible; however, the terms and conditions of such an
extension would require further discussion with the
Antioch planning department. At this time, it is
believed that a scaled down program, even if
substantially different from the current program, would
probably maintain the original land use permit in force
and effect.
20
14 . Review the Probation Department proposal for Family
Preservation and its potential savings .
In cooperation with the Social Service Department, the
Probation Department has been exploring the feasibility
of a program to reduce County costs for board and care of
court wards placed in group homes, private institutions
and foster family homes by enriching probation services
and diverting placements. Annualized 1993-94 fiscal year
costs are anticipated to be approximately $190,000.
Start-up funding for the diversion program would come
from the existing savings in the Social Service
Department's current Family Preservation program. It is
anticipated that the program will "repay its initial
investment" the first year resulting in a cumulative net
County savings which then can be used for other County
programs. The savings would actually accrue to the
Social Service Department, since Social Service bears all
out-of-home placement costs. However, consistent with
the Board's policy of providing incentives to Departments
to operate more cost-effectively, Social Service and
Probation will need to develop an agreement to allow
Probation to keep a portion of its out-of-home placement
diversion savings.
The Probation Family Preservation program requires
approval from the State Department of Social Services .
This approval was received on July 7, 1993. The next
step is the finalization of an interagency agreement
between the Probation Department and Social Service
Department outlining each department's duties, program
responsibilities, budget, savings agreement and program
evaluation.
The Social Service Department, Probation Department and
Health Services Department all have responsibility for
out-o:f-home placement. In addition, the Health Services
Department has extensive mental health crisis services,
day treatment and case management for seriously
emotionally disturbed children and their families .
Evaluation of the success of the Probation program will
depend not only on the reduction of Probation out-of-home
placement costs, but also take into account any ancillary
increases in mental health services by the Health
Services Department.
The County Administrator's office will closely monitor
the Probation Department's program to ensure that it
meets its budgetary and programmatic goals.
21
15. Examine the impact of fast track court processing and the
State's reduction in Trial Court Funding.
In creating the Trial Court Funding Program, the State
expressed its intent to increase the proportion of
funding for County trial courts. In addition, this
legislation mandated increased requirements related to
efficiencies and cost effectiveness matters on both the
trial courts and the counties and the State Judicial
Council. Government Code Section 77200(a) specifically
states that "this funding should increase to 60% for the
1993/94 fiscal year. . ." Our current estimate of State
Trial Court Funding for FOE 1993/94 is $11,931,489 or 36%
of the cost in this County of court operations .
(Estimated final 1992-93 expenditures are $33,600,000. )
If we were to receive the 60$ promised by State
legislation, we would be receiving this fiscal year an
estimated $20,160,000, a difference of approximately
$8,200,000 between what the State has promised and what
we will likely receive.
It is also interesting to note that beginning in FOE
1992/93, the State increased the filing fee in the
Municipal Court and County Clerk and then proceeded to
require counties to transfer all the filing fees in those
agencies plus court reporter and other fees in the
Superior Court to the State. The State, in turn, then
used those monies to help fund what remains of State
Trial Court Funding and, thus, decrease the burden on the
State general fund. Those filing and other fees had
previously been built into the budgets of the courts and
County Clerk to help fund court operations.
There exists a gap of $6,049,500 between requirements of
the Superior and Municipal Courts and related agencies to
fund the current level of court operations and what the
State is likely to provide. We have identified, at this
point, $2,742,000 to close that gap. Of this amount, the
Superior Court has offered cost reductions and/or revenue
increases of $672,000 and the Municipal Court $910,000.
This is far short of the amount required to fund the
courts at their desired current level of operations. We
believe that the items :identified in the recommendations
can produce additional expenditure reductions or revenue
increases that can reduce the burden on the County
general fund and close the gap of approximately
$3,307,500. The County Administrator will be working
with the Superior and Municipal Courts, the County Clerk,
Probation Department and the Social Service Department to
identify and finalize these cost reductions and revenue
increases and bring back an adjusted budget reduction
plan on September 28, 1.993.
22
Pursuant to a mandate of Trial Court Funding legislation
and a desire to increase the efficiency of the courts,
the County's Superior Court and Municipal Courts
developed a Court Coordination Plan. This Plan began
implementation in January, 1993. A key element of the
Plan is to increase the involvement of the Superior Court
in disposing of felony cases, thus relieving the
Municipal Court of some workload relative to these cases.
In anticipation of reduced Municipal Court workloads,
three Municipal Court Judges were assigned to hear
Superior Court criminal and civil cases while sitting as
Superior Court Judges. At this point, it is too early to
tell to what extent the goals of the program have been
achieved. The County Administrator's Office will report
back to the Board of Supervisors when more information is
available.
Recent State legislation in the area of Trial Court
Funding has mandated upon Superior and Municipal Courts
the development and implementation of Court Coordination
Plans in order to achieve further efficiencies and cost
effectiveness in the processing of court matters,
including criminal and civil cases. Statewide, this may
be leading to the integration of the Superior and
Municipal Courts into one trial court system. Short of
that, there are a number of ideas worth pursuing that may
result not only in increased justice system and court
efficiencies, but also in cost savings. These ideas
include the integration of Superior and Municipal Court
administration. In addition, the centralization of in-
custody criminal matters in Martinez could achieve cost
efficiencies in the District Attorney, Public Defender
and Sheriff's Departments . The Superior Court, in
conjunction with the Municipal Court, will be doing an
assessment of the impact of court coordination and
determining what the future requirements of the courts
are. : The County Administrator's Office is prepared to
work in cooperation with the Superior and Municipal
Courts and other justice agencies to examine these issues
and report back to the Board of Supervisors as
appropriate.
16 . Examine the issue of red tape in the Food Stamp Program.
SB 35 includes language which allows the state to develop
five pilot projects aimed at evaluating alternative
methods of operating income maintenance processes.
Projects may be with a single county or multiple
counties. Projects would be designed to simplify the
welfare process (such as a consolidated application for
23
AFDC and Food Stamps and revised food stamp
recertification regulations) as well as demonstrate
alternatives to the current monthly reporting systems .
The Social Service Department is very interested in ways
to reduce bureaucracy and costs in the food stamp
program. The County Welfare Directors Association is
working with the State to develop the pilot programs .
The Social Service Department will closely monitor this
issue and recommend that the Board authorize pilot
program participation urhen appropriate.
17 . Notify the cities of the July 30 public hearing on the
budget, including cuts to the library and crime
laboratory and opportunities for city backfill.
Letters have been sent, both by facsimile and U.S. mail,
to all cities as well as to all school districts,
advising them of the budget hearings and the level of
reductions being recommended for the Library as well as
the changes which are being proposed for the Sheriff's
Crime Laboratory. The Chairman of the Board of
Supervisors also enclosed a letter to the schools
expressing his own support for the schools and the fact
that the County has filed a lawsuit against the State,
designed to prevent the transfer of property taxes to the
State.
C. MANDATE RELIEF
Several separate pieces of legislation were enacted as
"Trailer Bills" to the State Budget in an effort to provide
relief from some mandates for counties and to provide greater
discretion and flexibility to counties. While the estimates
of the potential savings appear to be vastly over-estimated,
particularly for Contra Costa County, there are still some
significant issues addressed by the relief of some of these
mandates. The major pieces of legislation, and the area of
mandate relief, discretion or flexibility provided are
detailed below:
1 . SB 1033 - Chapter 72, Statutes of 1993: This law allows
a county to reduce its General Assistance grant amount to
not less than 40% of the 1991 federal poverty level, plus
a further reduction for shared housing. The current
standard is 62% of the federal poverty level. However,
this reduction requires application to, and approval by,
the Commission on State Mandates. The county must be
able to make a compelling case that without a .favorable
finding by the Commission, the county cannot maintain
basic county services, including public safety. The bill
also provides that no provision of law requires a county
24
to provide or pay for a service reduced or eliminated
from the Medi-Cal Program for a General Assistance
recipient. While we may wish to consider this option
once the Commission issues regulations, considering the
Commission's past receptivity to County requests f.ir
mandate reimbursement, it seems unlikely that Contra
Costa County would be able to obtain the necessary
approval from the State.
SB 1033 would allow reduction of GA grants to 40% of the
poverty level, upon approval by the State Commission on
Mandates and a finding of financial distress . As was
mentioned in the County Administrator's Report to the
Board of Supervisors for the Budget Workshop on July 22,
-. 1993, the likelihood of Contra Costa succeeding in
accomplishing the grant reduction is slim. However, if
by some chance it could be accomplished, the estimated
annual reduction in GA aid payments would be $4 .8 million
(based on a budget of $13 .5 million) .
2 . Provides that, notwithstanding any other state law or
contract provision, except as required by federal law,
the County can eliminate or consolidate any health
advisory boards that are required by state law or
regulation or in any existing contract with the State
Department of Health Services. In the case of a contract
requirement, the contract must be amended at the request
of the County to remove this requirement.
The consolidation or elimination of health advisory
boards would not have material savings to the Health
Services Department budget, according to the Department.
3. Requires the State Department of Social Services, until
January 1, 1997, to implement a program in any
participating county where the county is reimbursed for
AFDC overpayment recoveries using a reimbursement
calculation method that is based on the county' s grant
payment error rate.
Under this proposal, counties may be reimbursed for their
total administrative costs incurred (up to the amount of
state share of overpayments recovered) in the collection
of AFDC overpayments. County would be eligible for this
only if their error rate is below the state average
(3.8%) . During the October 1992 - March 1993 time
period, Contra Costa County's rate was 2 .2%.
25
Currently, counties pay 2 .5% of the AFDC grant. Thus,
they are recovering these overpayments on behalf of the
federal and state governments who pay 97.5% of the grant
cost. Recoveries must be abated back through the aid
claims at these original sharing ratios . Because of
this, there is no financial incentive for counties to
aggressively pursue overpayments. Furthermore, the
overpayment recovery functions are expensed against the
AFDC administrative allocation, which requires a 15%
county share.
Currently, the Social Service Department contracts with
the Office of Revenue Collections for AFDC collections .
The Department estimates that this contract will be
approximately $250,000 for the 1993-94 fiscal year.
Based on the standard 15% county share, the net county
cost would be $37,500.
One issue not clearly addressed in SB 627 is whether or
not the state intends to fund eligibility worker
recovered overpayment adjustments that are made through
grant reductions on still active AFDC cases . This
potential source of cost reimbursement would be very
difficult to estimate since this function is not
separately identified on the worker time studies.
4 . Allows the County to deem as income of a General
Assistance applicant or recipient the income of a person
or the person's spouse who, as a sponsor of the entry of
the GA applicant or recipient into the United States,
executed an affidavit of support for the individual for
a period of three years:, after the individual 's entry into
the United States. Certain amounts are allowed as
deductions from gross income in determining the amount
which can be deemed as income to the GA applicant or
recipient. Certain exceptions are provided for aliens
admitted under specified programs.
The provisions for GA reimbursement for sponsored aliens
was included in SB 627 at the request of Santa Clara
County, where a large percentage of the GA caseload
consists of sponsored aliens. Santa Clara County has had
difficulty getting reimbursement from the sponsors for
the County's GA recipients . Deeming income of the
sponsor as applicable/available to the sponsored
recipient will have -the impact of either making these
recipients ineligible or reducing the amount of the
grant. Contra Costa County does not have a large number
of "sponsored alien" cases on the GA rolls, and it is
estimated that this will not have a substantial impact on
26
this County's GA costs . The Social Service Department is
currently in the process of developing refined cost
figures .
5. Permits counties to reduce their maintenance of effort
requirement as a condition of receiving realignment funds
for health and welfare programs to reflect shortfalls in
revenue to local health and welfare trust fund health
accounts due to shortfalls in receipts of sales tax
revenue, compared to the amounts of these funds
originally anticipated for the 1991-92 fiscal year, as
determined by the Director of Health Services .
The reduction in the Maintenance-of-Effort requirement
would not generate savings to Contra Costa County. It
would, however, allow the County to reduce its health and
welfare program expenditures which are currently
restricted by law. However, since Contra Costa County
funds these programs in excess of the required
Maintenance-of-Effort, there is no financial benefit to
Contra Costa County at this time.
6 . Permits counties to reduce their maintenance of effort
requirement, for the 1993-94 and 1994-95 fiscal years
only, for mental health realignment funds to the minimum
federal maintenance of effort requirement, as calculated
by the State Department of Mental Health, except that the
total statewide reduction could not exceed $15 million.
The reduction in the Maintenance-of-Effort requirement
would not generate savings to Contra Costa County. It
would, however, allow the County to reduce its mental
health program expenditures which are currently
restricted by law. However, since Contra Costa County
funds these programs in excess of the required
Maintenance-of-Effort, there is no financial benefit to
Contra Costa County at this time.
7 . Requires the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs to enter into net negotiated amount contracts
for alcohol and drug funds with any county which requests
to do so during the 1993-94 fiscal year and requires that
net negotiated amount contracts be entered into with all
counties by July 1, 1994 .
The required net negotiated amount contracts would allow
for a streamlined contract process. This is very
desirable from a cost effective operations point of view.
However, it would not result in material savings for
Contra Costa County.
27
8. Repeals language under the Trial Court Block Grant
legislation, pursuant to which the State Controller is
required to adopt regulations providing for
recordkeeping, accounting, and reporting by the counties
with respect to block grant disbursements. Under current
law, the counties are required to submit to the
Controller a report of all revenues, including filing
fees, fines and forfeitures, and all expenditures
relating to court operations. This language is replaced
with a requirement that the Judicial Council provide
summary information concerning court revenues and
expenditures to the Controller for inclusion in the
Controller's annual report.
Chapter 70, Statutes of 1993 (SB 86) suspended or
replaced certain justice mandates. One of these requires
the County Audi tor-Contr(Dl ler to submit a report on court
revenue and expenditures annually to the State
Controller. According -to the Auditor-Controller, this
change in law will not :relieve the County of any costs
since the same report must now be submitted to the State
Judicial Council rather than the State Controller.
D. FUTURE ACTIONS
Because of the extent of uncertainty which is evidenced in the
above report, the fact that ,some of the "Trailer Bills" may
well include additional impacts we have not yet uncovered, the
need to determine exactly whaLt final actions the Legislature
takes when it returns to Session on August 16, 1993 to resolve
some of the outstanding issues, and the need to complete the
current negotiations with employee organizations in an effort
to achieve significant additional savings, we have recommended
that the Board of Supervisors direct that a further report be
made on September 28, 1993 on many of these outstanding
issues .

ATTACHMENT A
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Re: Abolishing Positions and )
Laying-Off Employees ►
RESOLUTION NO. 93/465
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, in all of its capacities as the governing body of this
County and of the districts and agencies of which it is the governing body, RESOLVES THAT:
1. The Board has considered the financial impact of reductions in funding due to reduced state and
federal funding and reduced property tax receipts and other revenues, the impact of increased
funding requirements, the resultant impact on capital projects, the staffing reorganization
necessary for the efficiency of County government operations ,and has considered the position
and staff reduction and retention plans submitted by the various Districts and County
departments.
2. In order to keep expenditures within available funding or to reorganize staffing as is necessary
for efficient operations, it is necessary to abolish, add or reduce the hours or status of the
positions described in the lists attached hereto for reasons of economy, lack of funds,
departmental reorganization, or because the necessity for the position(s) involved no longer
exists, and to lay off employees accordingly. Said lists are incorporated herein by reference,
and said positions are hereby abolished effective on the dates indicated thereon.
3. The Personnel Department shall prepare lists showing the order of layoff of affected employees.
4. The heads of the departments in which such positions are abolished or charged shall issue layoff
or displacement notices, as the case may be, and give notice to the affected employees of the
Board's action.
5. This resolution is an emergency action. The Board has been advised that revenues for the
1993-94 fiscal year will be significantly less than are required to maintain existing operations
and staff. Immediate action to reduce staff will reduce the magnitude of impending staff
reductions and interference with county services. Conversely, failure to initiate layoffs will
result in continued salary expenditures that will increase the need for layoffs and the adverse
impact on services in the coming fiscal year. I
6. The Employee Relations Officer shall give notice of this Resolution.to all recognized employee
organizations.
7. To the extent that the subject of this Resolution is within the scope of representation under the
Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code Section 3600 et seq.), this Board offers to meet
with the recognized employee organization representing affected employees upon request
concerning this Resolution.
8. Recognized employee organization may submitto the Employee Relations Officer written request
to meet and confer on specific proposals with respect to this Resolution or any resulting layoffs.
This authorization and direction is given without prejudice to the Board's right to reduce or
terminate the operations and services of the County and of Districts governed by this Board and
to eliminate classes of employees or positions as involving the merits, necessity, or organization
of services or activities of the County or Districts governed by the Board and not within the
scope of representation.
9. This action is taken without prejudice to pending consulting, meeting, and meeting and !
conferring with employee organizations.
Adopted this Resolution on July 30, 1993 by unanimous vote.
I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action
taken and entered on minutes of the Board of Supervisors on
the date shown.

SUBJECT:
FEASIBILITY OF USING CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS IN COUNTY JAILS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
If the Board wishes to further examine the cost saving implications of replacing Sheriff's
deputies with correctional officers in county jails, the Task Force recommends the
following areas for future inquiry:
1. update the 1989 Hughes, Heiss and Associates study with new figures on such
items as comparative salaries and benefits, staff turnover rates, overtime costs
and staff to inmate ratios;
2. study the feasibility of replicating the Santa Clara County correctional officer
program in Contra Costa County; and
3. examine comparable savings which may be achieved through continuing to
civilianize support positions in the Sheriff's Department.
BACKGROUND:
On June 22, the Board requested the Revenue Task Force to reevaluate a proposal to
use correctional officers to staff detention facilities. The Task Force met on July 14 to
deliberate the matter and eight of the twelve members participated in the meeting (see
attached roster). The members were supplied a copy of the 1989 Hughes, Heiss and
Associates study on the subject.

The Task Force heard an informative presentation by Sheriffs Department staff
consisting of Assistant Sheriff Roger Davis and Jerry Mitosinka, Commander Bill Shinn,
and Brian Treadwell, President of the Deputy Sheriff Association. The Sheriffs staff
emphasized a number of points including:
1. salary and benefit differences between deputy sheriffs and correctional officers
is less today than in 1989;
2. deputy sheriffs can be assigned a wider variety of responsibility including patrol;
3. deputy sheriffs can supervise more inmates than a correctional officer;
4. our county jails were built to be staffed by deputy sheriffs; and
5. turnover and associated training costs are higher for counties using correctional
officers.
A number of findings were made by the Committee which are listed below.
1. It is not possible to adequately evaluate the shift from deputy sheriff to
correctional officers with the current information and time available.
2. The study reviewed is four years old and the job market and California local
government have changed substantially since then. Also, key comparative data
such as salary and benefit costs, staff turnover rates, overtime costs and staff to
inmate ratios should be updated.
3. Santa Clara County Department of Corrections may be a model worth pursuing
in our county. A comprehensive report of the Department Operations was
prepared recently by the Harvey Rose Accounting Corporation.
4. The management style of the Sheriffs Department is critical to any evaluation,
and what is efficient in one county may not be efficient in another because of the
management approach. A review of civilianization of positions in the Department
may yield more cost savings than just focusing on deputy sheriffs in the jails.
The Task Force consensus was that the Board should be provided further direction on
this issue.

REVIEW OF SELF-INSURANCE AND COUNTY RUN "CLAIMS CHECKING" OF OUR
SUBJECT: DENTAL BENEIFTS PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)d BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the County Administrator and
the Personnel Director to look as fully as possible at self-insurance
and a county run "claims checking" of our dental benefits program and
provide the Board with a report of potential savings .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In speaking recently with a dentist . .
and Eileen Bitten, Acting Personnel Director, I believe there is a
potential for significant savings by eliminating from our dental
benefit program any "middleman" agencies involved in claims checking.
These significant savings could be dedicated back to the Health
Services Department to offset proposed cuts .
