County Administrator John Sweeten reported that a qualified consultant could be engaged to complete the study in 90 days for a cost of approximately$20,000.The services of County staff who would provide assistance during the study is estimated at approximately$20,000(services provided not to increase the regular salaries of those staff members). One member of the public provided testimony: Roland Katz of Martinez,representing Public Employees Union Local#1 Supervisor. Greenberg asked if a Scope of Work was available for the proposed study. Supervisor DeSaulnier said this is an opportunity to look at the County organization structurally and to evaluate ourselves more efficiently. Mr. Sweeten noted that,at some point in the future,the County needs to go through some sort of visioning process such as the development of a Strategic Plan.But,he said,the management study was envisioned as a bare-bones evaluation and the time and budget allocated do not allow for this to be a large undertaking. Supervisor DeSaulnier suggested the study could be a way to prepare the Hoard for next year's budget while looking at opportunities for change. Chair Glover suggested a workshop/work session be set up to make sure the study is valuable in terms of moving forward in the future.He suggested staff plan a workshop/work session that would incorporate the ideas discussed today,and bring those plans back to the Board. Supervisor Greenberg noted that this would fulfill her request to review a Scope of Work. Supervisor DeSaulnier supported Chair Glover's suggestion to staff.
