Costa
FROM: Victor J. Westman, County Counsel County
DATE: September 12, 2000
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL PURCHASING AGENT DISCRETION TO ASSIST
COUNTY DEPARTMENTS WITH PURCHASING SERVICES.
1. Recommended Action: Introduce an Ordinance providing the purchasing agent (at his
discretion) with specified services authority to engage or assist with the obtaining of services
when requested by an involved county office or department.
II. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: The County Ordinance Code (§ 1108-
2.214) currently provides pursuant to various state laws, statutes, or regulations that various
county offices or departments may purchase certain specified services without involving or
utilizing the purchasing agent's services. Presently, some of the purchasing agent exempt
services are acquired by utilizing the services of the purchasing agent. This ordinance would
clarify that the purchasing agent, at his discretion, may, when requested by the involved office
or department, engage or assist with the provision of any of the specified exempt services.

ORDINANCE NO. Z000-
dpAH:1VI W\0rdinanccsl3.wpd
TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra f
costa
FROM: Victor J. Westman, County Counsel County
DATE: September 12, 2000
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL MERIT BOARD MEETINGS TO FULLY EXERCISE
CONSENT DECREE JURISDICTION.
1. Recommended Action: Introduce Ordinance authorizing additional Merit Board Meetings,
waive reading and fix September 19, 2000 for adoption so that the Merit Board will have the
ability in a timely matter to address, review and take action on matters referred to it under the
Consent Decree pursuant to the jurisdiction provided the Merit Board by Resolution No.
2000/385.
II. Financial Impact: If this authorization is fully executed and all twelve additional special
meetings held, it could result in nine hundred dollars of additional cost.
Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: Recently the Board of Supervisors
adopted Resolution No. 2000/385 giving jurisdiction to the Merit Board to hear and make
determinations under the Consent Decree in Croskey v. County of Contra Costa, USDC NO.
C-73-0906SAW, on all matters previously referable under that decree to the former County
Civil Service Commission. At this time it appears that the Merit Board maybe required to
schedule additional special meetings (in addition to the regular meetings already required to
address its existing Merit System duties) in order to comply with the various fixed time limits
required by the Consent Decree for hearings and determinations by it.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action: Without the ability to schedule additional special
meetings, the Merit Board may not be able in a timely manner to hear, review and make
determinations concerning matters as required by the Consent Decree. Should this occur,
the County could be subject to judicial review and sanction.
