FROM: M. G. Wingett, County Administrator Costa
DATE: February 16, 1984 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 2784 (Floyd)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of opposition to AB 2784.
BACKGROUND:
Assemblyman Floyd has introduced AB 2784. Existing law generally requires that
the governmental services of counties be performed by county employees, and
that services for which the county contracts be obtained through competitive
bidding. An exception permits counties to contract for "special" services in
particular fields with persons specially trained, experienced, expert, and
competent to perform the special services, and to pay such compensation as the
county board of supervisors deems proper.
This bill would delete the enumeration of particular fields of services for which
a county may contract, and would delete the requirement that contracts be with
persons specially trained, experienced, expert, and competent to perform the
special services. The bill would require, instead, that the contracts be limited
to services which require special training, experience, or expertise not found
within the existing workforce of the county or public entity.
The bill would impose a state-mandated local program by changing the class of
services which a county could have performed by contract, rather than by county
employees, thus bringing the subject within the scope of required collective-
bargaining negotiations between a county and its employees.
County Counsel notes that AB 2784 in its current form would invalidate a very
large portion of the contracts by which the County obtains special services and
recommends that the Board oppose AB 2784.
