SUBJECT: STATUS OF THE 1993-94 COUNTY BUDGET AND IMPACT OF THE
LEGISLATURE'S ACTIONS ON THE BUDGET
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. RECOGNIZE that on May 25, 1993 the Board of Supervisors made Phase I
reductions to the County Budget equalling $20.5 million and that, following
public hearings on the Budget, the Board, on July 30, 1993, made Phase II
reductions which were necessary in order to eliminate a deficit of$29.0 million
in the 1993-94 County Budget caused by the State's transfer of $58.9 million
in property taxes from the County to help balance the State's Budget deficit.
2 . ACKNOWLEDGE that the Board, on July 30, 1993, as a part of adopting the
1993-94 County Budget, directed the County Administrator to report back to
the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, September 28, 1993 on the following:

RESPONSE:
As is frequently the case when legislation is drafted and
enacted quickly, errors are made or oversights occur which
have to be corrected in the future. This was certainly the
case with the 1993-94 State Budget and the mass of "Trailer
Bills" which were necessary in order to implement the Budget.
These . corrections and changes were made in what came to be
known as a "Caboose Bill" because it Game along at the end of
train of budget and trailer bills . Initially, AB 2373 was
identified as the caboose bill and a number of corrections and
changes to the trailer bills were placed into AB 2373 . Some
of these provisions were, in fact, only technical corrections .

In other cases, the changes were more substantive amendments
that were made because of the unanticipated and unintended
consequences of what had been done in one or another of the
trailer bills . In yet other cases, the caboose bill was seen
by legislators as a convenient vehicle into which to place
provisions which were not otherwise connected to the trailer
bills or the budget. Eventually, AB 2373 became so encumbered
with these provisions that were important to the author, but
were otherwise entirely outside the scope of the budget and
trailer bills, that their sheer number and cost threatened to
sink the caboose bill and insure a veto from the Governor.
As a result, a new bill was selected as the caboose bill and
was sent to a Conference Committee. The Conference Committee
let it be known that nothing would go into the new caboose
bill, AB 1519 , that had not been cleared with the State
Department of Finance and the Governor, thus insuring that the
bill, once passed, would be signed by the Governor. These
conditions, of course, eliminated most of the provisions which
had been in AB 23.73 and left AB 1519 with almost no provisions
that are of any substantive value to this County. Among the
measures which were lost between the earlier versions of AB
2373 and the final version of AB 1519 are the following:
A. Transfer of Special Funds to the County General Fund
A provision had been included in earlier versions of AB
2373 which would have allowed the Board of Supervisors to
transfer to the County General Fund the uncommitted
balances in any special fund that was established by
state law and not otherwise protected by federal law or
the State Constitution. This provision was narrowed down
in AB 1519 to where it includes only two groups of funds :
1) certain AB 939 funds intended for the preparation
of the Integrated Waste Management Plan, and
2) any fund balances from a dependent special district
which contributed to the SDAF in the 1990-91 fiscal
year, but received no distribution from the SDAF in
that fiscal year.
We are advised by the Auditor-Controller that we have two
such funds, Service Area R-7 (Zone A) and Service Area R-
7 (Zone B) , the balances in which total $1,240, 157 .
B. Property Tax Administrative Costs
A provision had been included in earlier versions of AB
2373 which would have allowed the County to recover the
property tax administrative costs on that portion of the
property tax that was transferred to the State from the
cities and special districts . In the 1992-93 fiscal year
the counties were able to recover these administrative
costs on the $1 . 3 billion that was transferred to the
State. The legislation provided that this recovery would
continue into the future. However, in one of the trailer
bills this summer this provision was repealed, leaving
the counties with no ability to continue to recover the
administrative costs on either the $1 . 3 billion
transferred in 1992-93 or the $2 . 6 billion transferred in
the 1993-94 fiscal year. The recovery of these costs is
worth approximately $700,000 to this County in the 1993-
94 fiscal year. This provision was, however, included in
another bill which is on the Governor' s Desk. [See
discussion of AB 491 in the response to Recommendation #
3 at 3A below] .
2
C. Exemption of P-6 from the Property Tax Transfer
A provision had been included in earlier versions of AB
2373 which would have allowed the County to exempt County
Service Area P-6 from the property tax transfer, as was
done with the fire districts . This language would also
have exempted the Kensington Community Services District
from the property tax transfer. The savings to P-6 would
have been $1 . 9 million, plus $600, 000 to the Kensington
Community Services District, for a total of $2 . 5 million.
This language was eliminated from the final version of AB
1519 . [See further discussion of this issue under the
discussion of Recommendation # 12 below] .
D. Increase in Fees to Recover Full Cost
A provision had been included in earlier versions of AB
2373 which would have allowed the Board of Supervisors to
increase all fees to recover the full cost of the service
being provided. This was later narrowed to cover only
the services of the Agricultural Commissioner and the
device registration fee which is charged by the Sealer of
Weights and Measures . Eventually even these provisions
were completely eliminated from AB 1519 .
E. San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District Provisions
AB 1519 does contain language originally inserted into AB.
2373 at the request of the San Ramon Valley Fire
Protection District and carried over to AB 1519 which
provides that the property tax transfer and exemption
provisions which apply to other fire districts do not
apply to the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District
and that, instead, the District's finances will be
governed by the judicial branch of government through the
currently pending lawsuit involving the County and the
District.
F. Special Library Provisions
Language was included in AB 1519 which was intended to
protect libraries in three counties (Contra Costa, Fresno
and San Diego) from having to transfer a portion of their
base property tax to the State when they did not, in
fact, receive any "bail-out" money following the passage
of Proposition 13 . This language was revised in AB 557,
which is now also on the Governor' s Desk) .
3. ACKNOWLEDGE that the Board, on July 30, 1993, as a part of adopting the
1993-94 County. Budget directed the County Administrator to report back to
the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, September 28, 1993 on the following:

RESPONSE:
A wide variety of bills were passed by the Legislature in the
last few days before the Legislature began its recess on
September 10, 1993 . Most of these bills remain on the
Governor' s Desk as of this date. The Governor has until
October 10, 1993 to sign or veto each of these bills . Below
we comment on several of these bills which will have positive
or negative fiscal consequences for this County. In all but
one case, these bills remain on the Governor' s Desk. It is,
therefore, impossible to tell what the eventual outcome of
each will be. We will report back to the Board with a final
accounting on which bills were signed, which were vetoed and
what the fiscal impact on this County will be.
3
A. Property Tax Administration Fee - AB 491 (Farr)
As was noted above, the ability of the counties to
recover the property tax administrative fee on that
portion of the property tax which was shifted to the
State was eliminated in the education trailer bill this
summer. A provision reinstating this ability to recover
the costs of administering the property tax was included
in AB 2373, but was eventually eliminated from AB 1519 .
Instead, AB 491 was amended to restore this language. We
have already included $200,000 of this revenue in the
1993-94 budget. It is anticipated that AB 491 will be
vetoed by the Governor because of the cost to the State.
If AB 491 is vetoed, it will be necessary to delete this
$200,000 in revenue, leaving an additional $200,000 hole
in the budget. If by some chance, AB 491 is signed into
law, there will be some additional revenue which can be
used to assist in offsetting the remaining deficit in the
County Budget. CSAC has requested that the Governor sign
AB 491 .
B. Charges for Court Reporter Costs - SB 291 (Beverly)
One of the trailer bills passed this summer (SB 86 )
contained a provision allowing the courts to charge
litigants the full, actual cost of court reporter
services . Previously, the amount the court could charge
was limited to $100 per half day, beginning on the second
day of any trial . SB 291 was amended late in the Session
to again limit the amount which could be charged - this
time to $120 per half day. SB 291 is on the Governor' s
Desk. CSAC has requested that the Governor veto SB 291 .
C. Traffic Amnesty Program - SB 149 (Boatwright)
The Board of Supervisors sponsored legislation in 1993
(SB 149, Boatwright) which would allow the Municipal
Court to conduct an amnesty program for delinquent
traffic tickets (other than parking tickets) and to
include all citations which have been delinquent for at
least six months as of the beginning date of the amnesty
program. The amnesty program can be conducted only once
between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1996 . The
County will keep all of the revenue which is collected
through the amnesty program. As is noted later in this
report in Recommendation .# 9A, we are recommending that
some $700,000 in revenue be anticipated from SB 149 . The
bill remains on the Governor's Desk at this time.
D. Library Benefit Assessment with Voter Approval - SB 566
(Roberti)
The Board of Supervisors co-sponsored a bill in 1993
which would authorize the imposition of a benefit
assessment for library services with a majority vote of
the people, SB 566 (Roberti) . This bill is on the
Governor' s Desk. If the bill is signed by the Governor,
the Board could put the measure on the ballot as early as
the June 7, 1994 Primary Election, would allow collection
of the benefit assessment with the property taxes
beginning in December, 1994 . In no case will this bill
assist the County during the current fiscal year.
4
4
E. Domestic Violence Funding - SB 5 (Presley)
The Board of Supervisors has been concerned about the
reliability of funding for services provided by Battered
Women' s Alternative and the Rape Crisis Centers .
Legislation has passed and been signed into law which
would provide some backfill funding for the $158,271 net
county cost ($93,271 excluding Supervisor Smith' s salary
contribution) of the 1993-94 fiscal year contracts . SB
5 would increase the marriage license fee by an
additional $4 and provide that, to the extent feasible,
this additional $4 should be used to develop or expand
domestic violence centers to target underserved areas and
populations . Based on the 1992-93 fiscal year revenue of
$73,786 and budgeted 1993-94 fiscal year revenues of
$80,750, SB 5 would provide an additional $8,570 in
revenues . This legislation becomes effective January 1,
1994 .
F. Booking Fee Revenue Reduction - AB 2286 (Pringle)
AB 2286, an attempt at resolving booking fee issues
legislatively, is currently on the Governor' s Desk and,
if signed, will reduce booking fee revenues . The bill
has three major areas of impact: it . defines the
chargeable components of "booking or other processing" ;
it restricts counties on the types of bookings for which
a fee may be charged; and it requires counties to levy a
fee, as a condition of probation, against persons
arrested by county deputies and convicted of a criminal
offense. Contra Costa County is currently in compliance
with most of the provisions of this bill, but we expect
a reductign in revenues due to changes in the definition
of chargeable components of booking and limitation on
types of bookings for which a fee may be charged. We
anticipate that if AB 2286 is signed into law, the cost
to Contra Costa County will be $158, 000 annually.
The booking fee hearing before Judge Ford in the
coordinated litigation is scheduled for November 8 . The
hearing will focus on two issues: the fee calculation
methodology, and the scope of activities included in
"booking or other processing" for which a fee is charged.
The hearing may be continued into 1994 because of a
change in legal representation for the cities . Unlike AB
2286 , which is prospective as it applies to the booking
fee, the results of the litigation would impact fees
levied from July 1, 1990 through December 31, 1993 .
Depending on the court' s interpretation of the two
issues, the County could be required, after a final
judgment, to refund some booking fee revenues to charged
agencies . Counties are confident, however, that their
position on booking fees is supportable under current
law. CSAC has requested that the Governor veto AB 2286 .
G. Priority of Property Tax Liens on Bankruptcies - AB 1498
(Campbell)
As a result of a recent decision by the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals, it is now much more difficult for the
Tax Collector to collect property taxes which become due
after the date on which a bankruptcy petition is filed.
Language in other states has been upheld by the courts,
but California' s language was judged inadequate by the
Court, meaning that such post-petition taxes no longer
have first priority upon the sale of property held by a
bankrupt individual or estate. AB 1498 would amend
California law to conform to the Court 's decision and
clarify that all uncollected property taxes that are
unpaid as a result of bankruptcy have first priority for
collection upon sale of the property. It is estimated
that $500 million in property taxes statewide might be at
5
risk without the enactment of AB 1498. This bill is on
the Governor' s Desk. CSAC has requested that the
Governor sign AB 1498 .
H. Change in Definition of a "Change of Ownership" for
Property Tax Reassessment Purposes - SB 413 (Kopp)
SB 413 would provide that whenever a transfer of a
majority of the voting stock or other ownership interest
in a corporation occurs in a single transaction, it shall
be judged to constitute a "change of ownership" of the
corporation, thereby allowing the County Assessor to
reassess all real property directly or indirectly owned
or controlled by the corporation to current market value,
something that is not now possible. This provision would
apply to all transfers completed on or after January 1,
1994 . SB 413 is on the Governor's Desk. CSAC has
requested that the Governor sign SB 413.
I . Assessment Appeal Application Fee - AB 1422 (Frazee)
AB 1422 would require that each application for a
reduction in assessment of real property be accompanied
by an application fee of $50 for each parcel for which a
reduction is requested. Owner-occupied residential
property would be exempt from the fee. AB 1422 is on the
Governor' s Desk. CSAC has requested that the Governor
sign AB 1422 .
J. Increase in Recording Fees - AB 130 (Tucker)
AB 130 would give the Board of Supervisors the authority
to increase certain copying fees charged by the County
Recorder. In addition, it would provide the Board of
Supervisors with the authority to impose an additional $1
fee on each document which is filed for recording,
providing that the County Recorder is required to 'be open
for business each business day except for legal holidays
and judicial holidays . The Board of Supervisors could
also impose an additional $1 recording fee, providing
that every document be required to be indexed within two
days after the date of recordation. AB 130 is on the
Governor' s Desk. CSAC has requested that the Governor
sign AB 130 .
4 . ACKNOWLEDGE that the Board, on July 30, 1993, as a part of adopting the
1993-94 County Budget, directed the County Administrator to report back to
the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, September 28, 1993 on the following:

RESPONSE:
At this time, several revenue issues have been identified
which could significantly affect the Social Services
Department' s budget, and consequently require close
monitoring. These include: the Child Welfare Services (CWS)
allocation, Realignment revenues, the In-Home Supportive
Services/Personal Care Services Program (IHSS/PCSP) allocation
and the new Title IV-A Emergency Assistance Program. It
should be noted that the State's seemingly arbitrary and
capricious changes in regulations and allocations are the
source of budgetary concerns for the Social Services
Department.
Currently, the CWS allocation is $288, 714 less than the 1992-
93 fiscal year allocation despite an authorized increase of
1 . 9 FTE. This shortfall is surprising in that the statewide
allocation to counties is greater for the 1993-94 fiscal year
than for the 1992-93 fiscal year. The Social Services
Department has requested detailed breakdowns from the State,
to determine the source of the discrepancy. To date, the
State 's response has been a one-page summary that does not
justify the imposition of an over $1 . 35 million allocation
reduction in order to "comply with budgetary restrictions on
funding prior year COLA' s" . The COLA allocation reductions
for the 1989-90 and 1991-92 fiscal years are not consistent
with the 1992-93 fiscal year adjustments . The allocation
reduction puts the County into an automatic overmatch in CWS.
The Department will be returning to the Board of Supervisors
with recommendations for corrective actions if the allocation
issue is not successfully resolved with the State.
When the State modified the IHSS program to incorporate the
Personal Care Services Program (PCSP) in order to access
federal Title XIX financing, counties were assured that the
program would have a positive fiscal impact on them. In
reviewing the proposed program with the Finance Committee, it
became evident that the State's position on pass-through of
Title XIX funds to the counties was not certain. The June 10,
1993 Finance Committee report noted that the PCSP fiscal
picture "looks promising, although caution is still
warranted. " Given that PCSP was the only option for
recovering increased county costs for the State increase in
IHSS provider payments, the Board authorized the Department to
begin implementing the program. Currently, the PCSP has
temporary staff : 2 clerks, 1 account clerk, 6 social workers,
1 social work supervisor and 1 .5 nurses for an approximate
cost of $90, 000 per month. Overall the combined IHSS/PCSP
administrative costs are approximately $225,000 per month. At
this time, the County has not yet received its 1993-94 fiscal
year State allocation for these programs . In addition, the
State has informed the counties that the federal government
has withdrawn its commitment to fund 75% of the nurse and
physician costs. At this time, the Social Services Department
estimates that the PCSP program could result in a loss of
$350, 000 up to a net gain of $260,000 a range of $610,000 .
The budgetary situation is being closely monitored and any
necessary corrective budgetary actions will be undertaken as
soon as information is received from the State.
The State has heralded the Title IV-A Emergency Assistance
Program as an opportunity for the counties to access millions
of dollars of new federal revenue for foster care. A
preliminary estimate by the Social Services Department,
however, indicates that the program savings could be more than
offset by the administrative costs . Also, it is not certain
that the State will not "cap" its share or take other actions
to shift its costs to the counties . The PCSP program was
initially greeted with the same type of optimism that
currently is being given to Title IV-A Emergency Assistance.
As already noted, the financial status of that program is
still in question.
7
As part of SB 463 (Chapter 100, Statutes of 1993) , the State
Department of Finance was required to allocate 1992-93
Realignment Growth Revenues to the counties . In August, the
State Department of Finance informally told the county that
its allocation would be approximately $823,000 . Actual
receipts, however, came in at approximately $725,000 .
A bright spot in the Social Service budget is the GAIN
program. Contra Costa County received an additional $1 .57
million for a total of $5 . 835 million. There is no county
match required for this allocation. This program will be
particularly helpful in that it is designed to assist welfare
recipients in transitioning to employment.
The County Administrator's Office and Social Services
Department are closely monitoring the revenue estimates for
the Department. The track record of the State in shorting the
counties, and doing so well into the fiscal year, dictates
continued caution for both the PCSP and Title IV-A Emergency
Assistance Program.
6. ACKNOWLEDGE, in addition, that the Board, on July 30, 1993, adopted the

RESPONSE:
The Health Services Department aggressively budgeted in excess
of $11 million of revenues anticipated but not confirmed as
of adoption of the county budget on July 30, 1993. The
anticipated State and Federal revenues consist of a multitude
of items ranging from the SB 855 Intergovernmental Transfer
Program to Realignment restoration financing. Both the
process for SB 910 Medi-Cal reimbursement and the revenue
generating potential of the Mental Health Rehabilitation
Option are unknown at this time. Known variances in revenues
include: SLIAG - approximately $200,000 less revenue than
anticipated; Realignment - approximately $500,000 more
revenue than anticipated; and SB 855 - approximately $2 .2
million more revenue than anticipated. In addition, it is
doubtful that the Medical Assistance Commission will hold
another round of SB 1255 Voluntary Contributions (budgeted at
$2 . 0 million for the 1993-94 fiscal year) . In summary, there
are still outstanding issues to be resolved and numerous
pluses and minuses in individual revenue categories for the
Health Services Department. Both the Department and County
Administrator will be closely monitoring the revenues and will
report to the Board of Supervisors with recommendations for
corrective action as necessary.

RESPONSE:
The Health Services Department is currently finalizing the
plan to ensure the required savings in the Home Health Agency.
It is anticipated that office consolidation will obviate the
need for additional staffing reductions . For the DUI program,
the Department is working with the employee organizations to
meet budget reduction targets through modification of hours,
rather than by layoffs . A report should be ready for the
Board's consideration on October 5, 1993 .

RESPONSE:
In the July 30 Budget Report (Phase II Budget Reductions and
Adoption of the Final County Budget for the 1993-94 Fiscal
Year) , the Board of Supervisors acknowledged that because of
the failure of the State to fulfill its commitments regarding
Trial Court Funding, including the seizure of court filing and
other fees, and fines and forfeitures from the County, a gap
of approximately $6,049,500 existed between what the State
appeared to be providing the County in Trial Court Funds and
the amount required to support the current level of operations
of the courts . The Board directed the County Administrator to
identify expenditure reductions and revenue enhancements to
close the gap.
After adoption of Assembly Bill 392 it was determined that the
gap was actually $5,239,970, which includes :
• the budgeted gap of $1, 192,290 between the trial court
revenues budgeted ($12,326,304) and the trial court
revenues which we will receive based upon a Statewide
Trust Fund of $140 million ($11, 133,984 ) ;
• the filing fee gap, which includes filing fees lost to
the State in 1992-93 ($2,789,500) ;
• the maintenance gap, which includes merit and step
increases for court employees ($560,000) ; and
• $698, 180 of non-specific reductions made during the Phase
I cuts .
Prior to the July 30 Board Order, in working with the benches
of both the Municipal and Superior Courts, $1,582,000 was
offered in cost reductions and/or revenue increases . Since
that time, the County Administrator has continued to work with
the Superior and Municipal Courts, the County Clerk, Probation
Department and Social Services Department to identify and
finalize cost reductions and revenue enhancements to bring an
adjusted budget back to the Board on September 28 .
The following is a description of those items identified by
the Departments to close the gap. The Superior Court and
County Clerk will work in cooperation with the Municipal
Courts to allow the entire justice community to fully benefit
from the impact of court coordination. The Municipal Courts,
which worked aggressively at the Legislature in advocating an
expanded moving traffic amnesty program, will institute the
program upon the passage of SB 149 and will potentially earn
an additional $700,000 in unanticipated revenue. The Courts
will also increase miscellaneous fees pursuant to recently
enacted trial court funding cleanup legislation resulting in
$95,000 of additional revenue and will increase their savings
goal through diligent management of personnel vacancies by
$100,000 .
In addition to funds identified by the Courts, the Office of
Revenue Collection will increase their revenues by
approximately $45,000 by assuming responsibility for parking
citation processing for cities and other agencies and through
a parking amnesty effort. The Probation Department is
expected to recover an additional $100, 000 in federal
reimbursement for juvenile placement administration under
Title IV-E.
10
At this time, it is uncertain whether the Social Services
Department will generate any net savings from implementation
of the Title IV-A Emergency Assistance. Based on the State's
estimates of case eligibility, case turn-over and current
costs per case, the Department could have substantial foster
care placement savings . However, administrative requirements
for the program will be extensive (based on the initial State
instructions) . Administrative costs could more than offset
any savings . The County Administrator's Office will continue
to work with the Social Services Department on this issue.
9. APPROVE the following actions which are intended to assist in balancing the
County Budget shortfall which results from the following factors:
• A funding gap of $5,239,970 for the Municipal and Superior Courts.
• The potential loss of$1.9 million if we are unsuccessful in obtaining the
passage of legislation exempting the Sheriff's Patrol services (CSA P-6)
from the property tax transfer.
• The potential for revenue losses to Social Services Department
programs due to adverse State actions on allocating revenues. [For
additional details see the response to Recommendation # 5].
• The potential for revenue losses to Health Services Department
programs due to adverse State actions on allocating revenues. [For
additional details see the response to Recommendation # 61.
• The potential loss of$19.2 million in sales tax revenue if Proposition 172
is rejected by the voters.
A. RECOGNIZE approximately $700,000 in new revenue related to the
traffic amnesty program, pending the passage of SB 149, now on the
Governor's Desk.
B. RECOGNIZE approximately $95,000 in new revenue which will result
from the increase in various fees pursuant to recently enacted
legislation (AB 392 and SB 86).
C. RECOGNIZE new revenue in the Office of Revenue Collection (ORC) in
the amount of$45,000 as a result of the transfer of the parking citation
program and parking amnesty program from the Municipal Courts to
ORC.
D. RECOGNIZE approximately $100,000 in additional revenue due to
increased claims for juvenile placement administrative costs under Title
IV-E in the Probation Department.
E. RECOGNIZE approximately $200,000 in revenue from the sales tax
portion of the 1992-93 base restoration for realignment.
F. UTILIZE$2.7 million of the funds allocated by the Board of Supervisors
during earlier budget hearings to mitigate cuts in State Trial Court
funding to assist in balancing the Courts' budgets.
G. CONTINUE TO PURSUE the exemption of police districts from the
property tax transfer in order to assist in offsetting all or a portion of
the $1.9 million in property tax funds which was transferred to the
State from the P-6 special district.
H. DIRECT the County Administrator and the Social Services Director to
continue to explore potential new revenue available through Title IV-A
- Emergency Assistance reimbursement for eligible children in foster
care in the Social Services Department.
I. EXPLORE the feasibility of transferring the funds identified in
Response A to Recommendation # 2 to the General Fund. DETERMINE
whether the County will be able to receive the property tax
administrative fee revenue discussed in Response B to Recommendation
# 2.
J. CONTINUE to monitor revenues in the Social Services Department and
Health Services Department as more fully discussed in the Responses
to Recommendations # 5 and # 6.
11
10. Finally, ACKNOWLEDGE that on July 30, 1993, the Board also adopted the
following recommendation:

RESPONSE:
A. The Health Services Department is actively pursuing
maximizing the Mental Health . Rehabilitation Option
funding. Payment methodologies, time reporting and
contract amendments are all under development. The
Mental Health Division is working closely with both the
State and local advocacy groups to insure a smooth
transition to the new Medi-Cal payment system.
B. Staff from the Social Services Department and Health
Services Department have met to explore the feasibility
of utilizing the Mental Health Rehab Option as a vehicle
for generating additional Federal Medi-Cal revenue
through the Family Preservation programs . Due to
concerns about the use of Title IV funds as match for the
Federal Medi-Cal component, it was concluded that rapid
implementation is not possible. Follow-up work with Los
Angeles County and the State is in progress .
C. The Mental Health Coalition recommended establishing an
East County Crisis Unit, similar to the one in West
County, as a means of reducing transportation and
hospitalization costs. Part of their proposal was to
reassign some of E Ward staff to an East County Crisis
Unit. An initial review indicates that increased staff
costs would not be offset by revenues realized. In
addition, the success of E Ward in preventing
hospitalizations is tied to its 24 hour operation where
clients can be held, medicated and monitored for a
sufficient length of time. Another consideration is the
space and physical environment required for an effective
and safe crisis service. The current location of East
County Adult Mental Health Services would not be
appropriate for additional staff and security needs .
12
The issue of crisis services in East County, or for that
matter a mobile crisis unit, should be considered within
the context of a larger planning effort which the Health
Services Department expects to undertake within the next
few months . The Mental Health Division will be
considering the design of the entire mental health home
delivery system. Using the Mental Health Advisory
Board' s Ad Hoc Planning Committee report of June 24, 1993
as a starting point, this wide-scale planning effort will
include consumers, family members, staff, contractors,
and Mental Health Commission members in the process .
D. The Mental Health Coalition has suggested that a jail
diversion program similar to one in Denver, Colorado
could result in savings in jail costs and increased
reimbursements through Medi-Cal billings . Jail diversion
generally would divert mentally ill inmates to the mental
health system either prior to booking or as soon
thereafter as possible.
The Jail Mental Health Supervisor contacted the Medical
Director of the Denver program, as well as staff who are
running similar programs in San Francisco, Alameda, Santa
Cruz, and Los Angeles counties . All report no savings to
either the Health Services Department, Probation
Department or the Sheriff, with the exception of some
small reduction of room and board costs to the Sheriff.
Mental Health costs are actually increased, although
there would be some offset with Medi-Cal revenues . In
all cases, the Jail Mental Health Supervisor was told
that the program must be adequately staffed to be
successful and that there must be designated residential
facilities for this population. There is no doubt,
however, that jail diversion programs are a humane and
clinically appropriate approach to handling the ever
increasing mentally ill population in the jails.
E. The Health Services Department is currently in the
process of examining the feasibility of joint detention
medical service administration with Alameda County.
11. ADOPT budget changes indicated in Attachment # 2, including designations
and changes to appropriations, revenues, reserves and fund balances and
AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to make technical adjustments to the
budget.
State law requires that the Board of Supervisors adopt a
budget, including fund balances, reserves, designations and
all estimated revenue and appropriation line item changes to
the Proposed Budget. The Board's action on July 30, 1993,
adjusting both revenues and appropriations, which are included
as Attachment # 1, together with adoption of the schedules
included as Attachment # 2 meets the State requirement.
Revenues have been adjusted in five accounts to correspond
with updated legislative and economic information.
12. Agree to SPONSOR legislation when the Legislature returns in January, 1994
designed to exempt from the property tax transfer for the 1993-94 fiscal year
special districts which provide police services, including County Service Area
P-6 and the Kensington Community Services District and DIRECT the County
Administrator and the County's Legislative Representative to pursue such
legislation as an urgency matter.
As soon as the property tax transfer legislation was enacted
in June, we raised with the State Administration the issue of
exempting special districts which provide law enforcement
services, as had been done with the special districts which
provide fire services. The initial reaction from the State
Department of Finance seemed to indicate that they did not
have a serious objection, but that they would determine the
cost of doing so. Language was drafted and placed in AB 2373
which would have allowed any special district which provided
law enforcement services to continue to receive funds from the
property tax transfer in the same amount the district received
13
from the Special District Augmentation Fund (SDAF) in the
1992-93 fiscal year. This was particularly important to
Contra Costa County because the Sheriff 's Patrol services
received $1 . 9 million from the SDAF. In addition, the
Kensington Community Services District received $600,000 from
the SDAF for law enforcement services. The loss of this
revenue might mean that Kensington would have to look to the
Sheriff to provide law enforcement services within the
Kensington community, thereby putting additional pressure on
the Sheriff 's budget.
It was only after AB 2373 was abandoned as the primary caboose
bill and AB 1519 was placed in a Conference Committee as the
primary caboose bill that the State Department of Finance
decided that exempting all special districts which provided
law enforcement services would be too expensive. This was
announced at the Conference Committee on AB 1519 and the State
Department of Finance indicated their opposition to the law
enforcement exemption provision. This doomed making the
exemption a part of AB 1519 . On- September 8, 1993, 48 hours
before the Legislature was to adjourn, Assemblyman Rainey went
to the Governor and attempted to persuade the Governor to
overrule Finance and agree to the exemption of law enforcement
special districts. It is our understanding that the Governor,
in effect, promised to sign a bill exempting law enforcement
special districts if Assemblyman Rainey could get the
necessary language into a bill and get the bill out of the
Legislature.
For the next two days, Assemblyman Rainey, Assemblyman
Campbell and the County' s lobbyist attempted to find a bill
into which the necessary language could be placed. Several
authors were contacted. Each insisted on an iron-clad
guarantee that the Governor would sign their bill, if it
contained our exemption language. Unfortunately, at the
critical point where such an assurance was needed, the
Governor was out of town and not reachable. Finally, we
simply ran out of time and the Legislature recessed early on
the morning of September 11, 1993 without passing the
necessary exemption language.
It is our hope that Assemblyman Rainey can get a commitment
from the Governor to sign a bill exempting the law enforcement
special districts from the property tax transfer as soon as
the Legislature returns on January 3, 1994 . However, no such
assurance has been provided as of this date and whether such
an assurance can be provided probably depends to a large
extent on the outcome of Proposition 172 .
13. ACKNOWLEDGE the reductions made in the County Library and the
contributions which have been made from several cities in order to maintain
the level of service which existed prior to September 3, 1993. ADOPT the
attached Resolution (Attachment # 3) amending Board Resolution 93/502 to
retain certain positions in the Library due to supplemental funding from the
cities of Antioch, Concord, Danville, and Martinez.
At its August 17, 1993 meeting, the Board of Supervisors
reaffirmed its approval of the County Library's plan to
proceed with layoffs and library service hour reductions
effective September 3, 1993 . In addition, the Library was
directed to continue its efforts to obtain supplemental
funding. The Board delegated authority to the County
Administrator to defer layoffs and library service hour
reductions if firm financial commitments were made by cities
or others prior to the layoff date. At that time, the
following had contributed funding to buy additional hours for
their libraries :
14
i
■ The City of San Ramon ( $154,200)
■ The City of Orinda ($28,825)
■ The Orinda Friends of the Library ( $28,825) and
■ The Inmate Welfare Fund Committee ($92 ,342) .
Since that time, the Library has obtained commitments of
supplemental funding from the following to provide additional
hours for their libraries :
■ The City of Antioch ($82,400)
■ The City of Concord ($42,900)
■ The Town of Danville ($64,200) and
■ The City of Martinez ($17,250) .
The attached Resolution (Attachment # 3) amends the previous
layoff Resolution (93/502) , delaying or restoring positions as
necessary to reflect these additional commitments .
14. ACKNOWLEDGE discussions with employee representative and with
Management Council representatives regarding the implementation of a
mandatory time off program, the suspension of vacation and sick leave buy-
backs, and salary step advances and merit increases.
In accordance with the Board' s direction for cost savings,
County representatives formally proposed to the Labor
Coalition the suspension of the vacation buy-back benefit
available to represented managers and the discontinuance of
salary step advancements . These proposals are still
outstanding within the context of overall deliberations with
the Coalition. Personnel Department staff met with Management
Council representatives on September 14, 1993 and explained
and discussed in length, the cost saving measures that have
been proposed including mandatory time off (MTO) , the
discontinuance of salary step advancements and the suspension
of the vacation buy-back and sick leave payoff programs . We
will continue to work on determining the extent to which MTO
is required to offset the loss of property tax revenue as the
Governor takes action on the hundreds of bills which remain on
his Desk. We will have this information available for the
Board of Supervisors within a few weeks .
15. ACKNOWLEDGE the report on savings to date from the voluntary time off
program.
Since inception of the Voluntary Time Off (VTO) program in
mid-1992, County employees have accumulated a total of
approximately 11,655 days of unpaid furloughs and leaves of
absence. Not counting leaves for medical purposes, the value
of -this time off, in terms of savings to the General Fund, has
been estimated at over $900,000 for the 15 month period.
Including fire districts, employees from over 20 departments
have participated in the program which allows them to take
unpaid time away from the job while maintaining group health
plan coverage.
16. Acknowledge status report on the implementation of the employee suggestion
program, resulting from the "time out" process.
A Committee of Department Heads has completed its preliminary
review of several hundred "time out day" suggestions submitted
by employees . The Committee developed a list of General
Principles For Review that were followed in consolidating
suggestions and grouping them into categories . These
categories include: ( 1) Recommendations for further study; (2)
Recommendations for further study from the County Labor
Coalition; (3) Suggestions for increasing revenues; (4)
Suggestions to cut costs; (5) Suggestions involving reductions
in pay and benefits; (6) Suggestions involving the
restructuring of programs; (7) Suggestions on the use of
automobiles; (8) Departmental issues; and (9) Miscellaneous
suggestions .
15
Several ideas have already been implemented. For example, the
General Services Department has implemented a small purchasing
program which results in a more efficient way to purchase
small items which cost less than $250 . In addition, General
Services has implemented its day custodial program which has
resulted in substantial cost savings by not having to pay a
night differential . Also, the Social Service Department has
implemented a program that has resulted in increased efforts
in applying for SSI benefits for disabled children in foster
care. The General Services Department is in the process of
refinancing all equipment lease purchases to obtain lower
interest rates . The feasibility of implementing other
suggestions that have a County-wide impact is continuing to be
considered.
17. AUTHORIZE the County Administrator to undertake contingency planning in
case Proposition 172 fails statewide on November 2, 1993 and be prepared to
make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors as soon as possible
thereafter.
As the Board of Supervisors is well aware, the failure of
Proposition 172 to pass statewide will plunge this and all
other counties statewide into a truly desperate situation.
Statewide, some $700 million will have to be eliminated from
county budgets immediately. An additional $700 million will
have to be eliminated going into the 1994-95 fiscal year
because the six month extension of the sales tax will not be
available for the July 1 - December 31, 1994 period as it was
this year.
In Contra Costa County, at least $19 .2 million will have to be
eliminated from the budget virtually overnight. An additional
$19 .2 million will also have to be eliminated from the 1994-95
budget. We all hope that Proposition 172 will be approved by
the voters statewide, making reductions of that magnitude
unnecessary. However, with the election only five weeks from
today it seems only prudent to begin to plan for the
possibility that such reductions will be necessary. In this
way, we will be able to do some contingency planning and be
prepared to move as quickly as possible to reduce staff as
soon as possible after the election if Proposition 172 is not
approved by the voters .
