FINANCIAL IMPACT: The grant application will fund staff salaries and benefits to provide services to victims and witnesses of crimes. The County's victim/witness assistance program is transitioning from the Probation Department to the District Attorney this fiscal year.

The State of California and OES disclaim responsibility of any such liability; and, that grant funds received from OES shall not be used to supplant expenditures controlled by the governing board.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The grant application will fund salaries and benefits for an attorney, an investigator, and one-half FTE clerk assigned to the program. The Automobile Insurance Fraud Prosecution award is allocated from a trust fund financed by an assessment per insured vehicle, payable by the insurer.

Expenditures and revenue for grant positions are included in the District Attorney's 2004/05 budget. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: The State Legislature has determined that one of the significant factors driving up the cost of auto insurance is fraud. While fraud is recognized as a growing problem across the country, California is an area of concerted criminal activity in insurance fraud. Although originally the problem was contained in the Los Angeles area, recent statistics confirm that the problem is rapidly becoming a Statewide concern.

ATTESTED: ' kSUS r JOHN SWEETEN, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and County Administrator By Vu►"`` y\-"7_0-- Deputy cc: District Attorney (5 certified copies) Attn: Renee Goldstein County Administrator-Attn: Lisa Driscoll Auditor-Controller RESOLUTION NO. 20041434 The Department of Insurance Fraud Bureau was established in 1979. However, resources committed to fighting fraud were limited. In 1989, the legislature enacted, through SB 2344 and SB 1103, statutes which provided resources for enhanced automobile insurance fraud investigation and prosecution. That investment has resulted in increasing the number of prosecutions for automobile insurance fraud Statewide. The implementation of mandated carrier-based special investigation units and the Automobile Insurance Claims Depository will operate to uncover large numbers of fraudulent claims which had gone undetected before the existence of those programs. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION. Failure to approve the recommendation will result in the inability of the District Attorney to apply for State funds designated for use by Contra Costa County in the prosecution of automobile insurance fraud. A county which fails to submit the application shall not be considered for funding, and their undistributed funds shall be returned to the Department of Insurance to be reprogrammed.

FISCAL IMPACT: This Amendment decreases the maximum reimbursed amount of State funding for FY 2003.2004 by $148,613 for a neve total amount of$4,562,857 of this four year agreement. No County funds are required. BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S): The Master Agreement incorporates a Memorandum of Understanding (MOC...1) for each service component of the AIDS program which defines the services to be provided and the budget. The MOUs are negotiated by staff of the State Office of AIDS and the County's AIDS Program representatives. The State requires only that the MOUS be signed by the State Office of AIDS Chief and the County's Health Officer, or his designee. This streamlines and expedites the contracting procedure for the AIDS Program, as only the Master Grant Agreement and any formal amendments to the Master Grant Agreement require County Board of Supervisors and State Department of Finance approval. On June 24, 2004, the Department was notified by the State Department of Health Services that they would be decreasing funds for the AIDS Program for FY2003-2004. Approval of this Amendment #29.388.44 decreases the amount of funding for AIDS education and prevention by$148,613.

The Department chose Attri and Associates because of the wide range of services and competitive pricing the firm provides (the firm was the second lowest among the five responsive proposals). The current contract with Attri and Associates has an effective term or March 1, 2004 to February 29, 2005 in the amount of$40,000. The amendment will not change the contract period but will increase the contract amount to $70,000 at the same rate of $50 per hour. The Department continues to need outside plan review services to augment internal expertise. Attri and Associates has been retained to provide plan review services on an intermittent basis. In addition to the use of outside firms, the Department has in the last three years utilized other strategies to address the increase in demand. For example, three new Structural Engineer positions were created within the last three years. given the current demand for plan review services and the recent request from the City of San Pablo for such services, the Department is in the process of adding a project structural engineer position to address the need. The Department is renowned in the Building Industry for the speed with which building plans are approved. The Department therefore intends to continue to utilize the services of Attri and Associates on an as needed basis as part of the Department's strategy to provide plan check services in a timely fashion. Attri and Associates is a Small Local Business Enterprise.
