Resolution No. 96/ 3 7 5
Re: Adding Positions, )
Abolishing Positions and )
Laying-Off Employees )
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, in all its capacities as the governing body of this County and
of the districts and agencies of which it is the governing body, RESOLVES THAT:
1. The Board has considered the financial impact of reductions in funding due to loss of non-recurring
and other revenues, the impact of increased funding requirements and the staffing reorganization
necessary for the efficiency of County government operations, and has considered the position and
staff reduction and retention plans submitted by County Departments.
2. The Board has considered the report of the Community Services Director which advises that the
budget for FY 1996-97 calls for phasing out Housing and Energy Division operations by September
1, 1996 because of lack of available contract funds combined with continued division losses.
3. In order to phase out operations, keep expenditures within available funding or to reorganize staffing
as is necessary for efficient operations, it is necessary to abolish, add or adjust the hours or status
of the positions described in the lists attached hereto for reasons of economy, lack of funds,
departmental reorganization, or because the necessity for the position(s) involved no longer exists,
and to lay off employees accordingly. Said lists are incorporated herein by reference, and said
positions are hereby abolished, added or adjusted effective on the dates indicated thereon. These
actions will result in the lay-off of five (5) permanent employees and the separation to two (2)
temporary employees in the Community Services Department.
4. The Human Resources Department shall prepare lists showing the order of layoff of affected
employees.
5. The Community Services Department shall issue layoff or displacement notices, as the case may
be, and give notice to the affected employees of the Board's action.
6. This Resolution is an emergency action. The Board has been advised that revenues for the 1996-97
fiscal year will be less than are required to maintain existing operations and staff. Immediate action
to reduce staff will reduce the magnitude of impending staff reductions and minimize interference
with County services. Conversely, failure to initiate layoffs will result in continued salary expenditures
that will increase the need for layoffs and the adverse impact on services in the coming fiscal year.
7. The Labor Relations Officer shall give notice of the Resolution to all recognized employee
organizations.
8. To the extent that the subject of this Resolution is within the scope of representation under the
Meyers-M i lias-Brown Act (Government Code Section 3500 et seq.), this Board offers to meet with
the recognized employee organization representing affected employees upon request concerning
this resolution.
9. A recognized employee organization may submit to the Labor Relations Officer written request to
meet and confer on specific proposals with respect to this Resolution or any resulting layoffs. This
authorization and direction is given without prejudice to the Board's right to reduce or terminate the
operations and services of the County and of the Districts governed by this Board and to eliminate
classes of employees or positions as involving the merits, necessity, or organization of services or
activities of the County or Districts governed by the Board and not within the scope of representation.
10. This action is taken without prejudice to pending consulting, meeting, and meeting and conferring
with employee organizations.
