DATE: October 31, 1983
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: J. Michael Walford, Public Works Director
1983 Chairman, Combined Charity Drive Campai
SUBJECT: Campaign Results - 1983 County Charity Drive
It is with great pleasure that I am able to report that a total of $1159798
has been donated or pledged by Contra Costa County employees for the 1983
Combined United Way/CHAD Charity Drive. Our goal for 1983 was $110,365,
which represented a 25% increase over the 1982 charity drive results.
The amount collected thus far represents a 31.3 percent increase over 1982.
We ran a very fast-paced two week long campaign drive this year instead
of the five week campaign which was conducted last year. Since the campaign
ended only ten days ago we are still receiving a trickle of pledges and
donations from people who, due to vacations or other circumstances, were
unable to hand in their contribution by October 21. I expect that these
late contributions will bring our total campaign results to an increase
of 32 to 33 percent over 1982.
As I advised the Board on September 27, my main push for this year's campaign
was to increase the number of county employees who participated in the
charity drive, rather than stressing the dollar goal which had been set
for us. My own goal was to achieve a 100% increase in the number ofemployees
participating in the 1983 campaign. To achieve that result I felt it was
necessary to move the campaign from a "ho-hum duty" to a fun and exciting
event which the employees could look forward to with a very positive attitude.
To help develop the positive attitude and make the campaign a "fun" event,
we decided to incorporate a raffle with entry being automatic to any county
employee who made a contribution equal or greater than our $1 per month
minimum guideline. The county-wide grand prize is two nights for two at
the MGM Grand Hotel in Reno plus either air fare or Amtrak fare donated
by Martinez Travel, and three days off to enjoy the trip donated by the
Board of Supervisors. In addition to the county-wide raffle, we encouraged
each department to do a department level raffle of items solicited by the
respective departmental campaign coordinators. About one-fourth of the
departments complied with our request and held department level raffles,
with numerous prizes, and from everything we hear those who did had a lot,
of fun, a lot of prizes, and great results in the 1983 campaign.

We know that our efforts to increase participation in the charity campaign
were successful',- however, we have not yet had the time to compare the number
of contributors to the 1983 campaign with the number donating to the 1982
campaign. I do have the figures for the Public Works Department and they
show a 92 percent increase in the number of contributors over 1982, from
approximately one-third of the. department to approximately two-thirds.
We also have completed the calculations for the Sheriff's Department, which
indicate a 250 percent increase.
The 1983 County Charity Drive began with a kickoff meeting held in the
Board Chambers on September 26, 1983. Representatives of a majority of
the departments attended the kickoff meeting. Supervisor Bob Schroder,
Mel Wingett, myself and representatives of both United Way and the Combined
Health Agencies Drive (CHAD) addressed those in attendance. At that meeting
we stressed the objectives of the campaign, the need to assign a donor
representative for each 15 to 25 employees in the department, and the need
to solicit prizes for the department level raffles. This meeting was followed
by a tour of various agencies supported by United Way and a luncheon for
all department coordinators. On October 5 we held two 90 minute training
sessions for donor representatives from each of the departments. On October 10
the donor cards were passed out to the employees and the charity campaign
was officially under way. On October 18 Supervisor Schroder and I met
with the department heads to give them a status report on the results of
the first week of the campaign. We were delighted to find that we were
very close to last year's totals after only one week. The campaign officially
ended at 5:00 p.m. on October 21, and the campaign results tables which
are attached reflect the amounts received as of that time. As stated pre-
viously, additional pledges and donations continue to cane in and I will
make a final tally and provide you with the final results about January 1,
1984.
Credit for the success of the 1983 campaign is due to many people, particularly
the departmental campaign coordinators and their appointed donor representa-
tives, whose enthusiasm was key to the positive attitude developed concerning
the campaign and the outstanding results. Two other key figures to the
success of the campaign were Polly Walton, a Fireman's Fund Insurance Company
executive who is on loan to the United Way campaign, and my executive secretary,
Dee Heisch. I also wish to thank the Board for its support, and particularly
Bob Schroder for attending the campaign meetings and lending his natural
enthusiasm to our efforts.
This year we have continued the departmental award system implemented by
Judy Miller and Sunne McPeak for last year's campaign. The first named
department in each of the following categories will have their name imprinted
on the perpetual trophy which hangs in the Board of Supervisors' conference
roan.

strategy we laid out consisting of donor representatives for every 15 to
25 employees and a departmental raffle, as well as the results their department
obtained. Awards also go to the top ten donor representatives based on
a percentage determined by the number of contributions they solicited in
excess of $12 divided by the total number of people they were assigned
to solicit. This year's departmental coordinator and donor representative
award recipients are as follows:
Department Coordinators.
Ed Meyer, Agriculture Department

It has been a real positive experience for me to have served as the campaign
chairman for the County's 1983 Charity Drive. It has given me the opportunity
to meet a number of outstanding, energetic and enthusiastic people from
other County departments and to work together with them to achieve excellent
results for a very worthwhile cause.
I look forward to seeing you at the awards luncheon scheduled for this
Friday, November 4, at Zio Fredos.

Costa
TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS County
FROM: Finance Committee
DATE: November 1, 1983
SUBJECT: Contra Costa County Alliance of the Arts Proposal on Community Access
Specific Request(s)-or Recommendations & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Finance Committee that Contra Costa County Alliance for the Arts
(CCAFTA) funding request for the video alliance be granted for $3,000. Additional funds
for CCAFTA to be considered after an equal amount is received or committed from non-County
sources. The funds to come from the Community Access Trust Fund.
BACKGROUND
On October 10, 1983, the Finance Committee reviewed CCAFTA's proposal to fund the video
alliance for six months, funding to come from the County' s Community Access Trust Fund.
CCAFTA's request was for a planning/development grant to assist with the development of
the video alliance and the organization and implementation of community access to the
County. The Board of Supervisors on October 4, 1983 endorsed, in principle, the creation
of a video alliance but referred the allocation of funding to the Finance Committee.
Staff indicated that the Community Access Trust Fund consisted of $8,300 and recommended
that any funds to CCAFTA be in the nature of a grant and would be most effective if the
grant was used to match funds received from other sources. The Finance Committee indicated
that they would support this approach and would like a list of the projects that were It
being completed with the grant money. CCAFTA, by accepting this grant, pledges to seek
matching funds from non-County sources and at the end of the six months from the date
of the grant will return to the County an inventory of community television resources
and potential sources for community television in the County. Inherent within the acceptance
of this grant, CCAFTA acknowledges that they will conduct a thorough planning and organiza-
tional process with appointed representatives from participating agencies interested in
community access throughout Contra Costa County. CCAFTA will strive to enhance public
information on community television throughout Contra Costa County and the funding permitting
will work to provide a user' s guide to community television and video in Contra Costa
County.
