RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONSIDER amending the County’s 2018 Federal Legislative Platform to include support for the concept of
establishing a national price on carbon emissions to address the cost to society of those emissions, as
recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee on Sustainability.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted the County’s Climate Action Plan, which states the
County’s commitment to addressing the challenges of climate change by reducing local greenhouse gas
emissions while improving community health. On July 23, 2018, the Contra Costa County Sustainability
Commission brought to the Ad Hoc Committee on Sustainability (Committee) a recommendation for the
County to include in its Federal legislative platform support for a Carbon Fee and Dividend. The
Sustainability Commission received this request from the Citizens Climate Lobby, and voted 8-1 to
recommend support for the Carbon Fee and Dividend.

Subject:Amend the County’s Legislative Platform to Include Support for Efforts to Price Carbon Emissions
10/9/18 BOS minutes 19
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Sustainability Commission (attached), the Carbon Fee and Dividend would put a federal price on
carbon-based fuels with the goal of having the price charged to consumers reflect the true costs of those
fuels to society. The funds collected through this fee would be placed in a trust and returned to all
American households in equal, monthly, per-person dividend payments. According to the analysis
presented by the Sustainability Commission, two-thirds of all American households will break even or
come out ahead. Lower income households would receive a proportionately greater benefit because they
spend proportionately more on transportation, heating, and food.
The Ad Hoc Committee on Sustainability had a robust discussion with members of the Sustainability
Commission and the public about the Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal. Advocates for the Carbon Fee
and Dividend discussed the importance of policies to promote clean energy on public health. They
stressed the simplicity of this approach and that lower-income households will see a greater benefit.
Others disagreed with the dividend concept, arguing that some of the funds should be directed to
government-sponsored programs that build stronger communities and/or research.
The Committee discussed challenges that the dividend proposal presents, including who would benefit,
how dividend funds would be allocated and used, and how best to build public support for this concept.
The Committee recommended that the County add to its federal legislative platform language that
supports the concept of a national price on carbon. The Committee declined to recommend that the
County take a position on the dividend, citing concerns that not all of the funds collected should
necessarily be returned 100 percent to the public; there may be other public purposes to which those
funds should be applied.
Staff notes that the national League of Women Voters at its 2018 national convention voted
overwhelmingly to support a similar approach:
“The League of Women Voters stands united with, and in support of, efforts to price carbon emissions,
whether cap-and-trade, carbon tax/fee, or another viable pricing mechanism. The League does not have
a position on how the revenue generated is to be used. We do not espouse any single method of pricing
carbon over another. We will evaluate all proposed methods based on their effectiveness to abate
emissions and whether the method can be successfully implemented.”
Staff suggests that the same language may be useful for the County to include in its legislative platform.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not amend the County’s legislative platform, it will forego an opportunity to influence
policies that help mitigate damage to the climate and protect public health.

Sustainability Commission Recommendation on Carbon Fee and Dividend

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION
An Advisory Body to the Board of Supervisors
30 Muir Road
Martinez, California 94553 July 16, 2018 The Honorable John Gioia and Federal Glover, Contra Costa County Supervisors Ad Hoc Sustainability Committee 651 Pine St. Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Messrs. Gioia and Glover, At its June 25th meeting, the Contra Costa Sustainability Commission voted to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that it support adoption of a national carbon fee and dividend (CF&D) in the County’s Federal Legislative Platform. The request for this recommendation was presented to the Sustainability Commission by members of the Contra Costa Chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), a national organization. While our discussion considered the basic mechanism of CF&D, commissioners focused on the economic impact a carbon tax would have on low-income residents of our county. The advocates for the plan highlighted the progressive effect of distribution of 100% of the net revenue, and cited a study showing that most residents would receive more in dividends than they pay in rising costs. The rationale for carbon pricing is well-established. A price on carbon corrects a massive market failure by incorporating the environmental and social costs of greenhouse gas emissions into the price of goods and services. Validating this economic tenet is the fact that 45 national and 25 sub-national jurisdictions now put a price on carbon, covering about 12% of global emissions. 1 The calls for carbon pricing are growing, both domestically 2 and abroad. There are many approaches to carbon pricing. Why should Contra Costa County advocate for a carbon fee and dividend system? To answer that question, we reviewed CF&D’s three core features:
• A national carbon tax, starting at a relatively low rate and increasing predictably and steadily over
the years, is a market-based solution that sends a clear price signal to businesses to develop and
use low- or no-carbon-based energy resources. The rising cost of carbon-intensive products and
services also incentivizes consumers to choose “greener” alternatives.
• One-hundred percent of net fees are returned to households in equal shares as monthly dividends.
Two-thirds of all Americans will break even or come out ahead, as their dividends match or
exceed price increases due to the tax. (See attachment showing household impacts for U.S.
Congressional District 11. Studies for other Congressional districts in our county are available. )

10/9/18 BOS minutes 21
Lower-income households receive a proportionately greater benefit because they spend
proportionately more on transportation, heating, and food.
• A border adjustment will level the playing field for American businesses and motivate other
countries to establish their own carbon pricing. Import fees on products from countries without a
carbon fee, along with rebates to US industries exporting to those countries, will discourage
American firms from relocating. A study conducted by a non-partisan economic modeling firm, Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI), predicted that during the first 20 years, the CF&D policy advocated by CCL would lead to a 50% reduction of carbon emissions below 1990 levels; the addition of 2.8 million jobs above baseline, driven by the economic stimulus; and the avoidance of 230,000 premature deaths due to reductions in air pollutants that accompany carbon emissions.3 These arguments have led 5 counties and 23 cities in California, and the State of California to pass resolutions endorsing a national revenue-neutral carbon tax. (See attachments.) Our County’s Climate Action Plan affirms the connection between local air quality and federal policy. Measure GO 5 (action item 5, bullet 2) calls on the County to “advocate for regional, state, and federal activities that support GHG emissions in the county, including adoption of language in the County’s state and federal legislative platforms that directs support and lobbying for local GHG reductions.” These environmental, economic and health-related justifications for a revenue-neutral carbon tax are compelling. But we also recognize a valid objection to the CF&D plan: Rather than returning 100% of the revenue in equal share to all households, why not allocate portions for renewable energy development, assistance to those bearing the brunt of climate change impacts, and programs to help workers who will lose jobs in the transition to a low-carbon economy? These are all worthy claims for public investment and assistance. One of the Commission members, who is also a member of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, states that political considerations argue against using revenue from carbon fees to address those legitimate needs. Consider the consequences of adopting policies that pick winners and losers (“Why stimulate solar but not biomass?”), or assists one group rather than another (“Why that refinery fence-line community but not our coastal town?”), or provides transitional training for some workers but not others (“Pipefitters but not electricians?”). The result would be a splintering of support for the carbon tax along partisan and geographic fault lines. Its passage and long-term survival require that the plan not “grow government” and lose broad public support by requiring costly regulatory apparatus, means-testing, and oversight. For a plan to withstand political buffeting, its range of benefits must be distributed equally to all citizens—no matter where they live, how they make their living, who they vote for, or how they choose to spend their money. For all of the reasons set forth here, a 7-1 majority of Sustainability Commission members recommend that the Ad Hoc Sustainability Committee place a motion before the Board of

What is Carbon Fee and Dividend?
Carbon Fee and Dividend is the policy proposal created by Citizens’
Climate Lobby (CCL) to put a federal price on carbon-based fuels so that
their consumer cost reflects their true costs to society.
It’s the policy that both climate scientists and economists say is the
best first-step to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic climate change
from global warming.
Why Carbon Fee and Dividend?
Currently, the price of fossil fuels does not reflect their true costs—
including their impact on global climate. Correcting this market failure
will require that their price account for the true social costs.
As long as fossil fuels remain artificially inexpensive, their use will
rise. Correcting this market failure requires a federal price on carbon
that accounts for their true costs.
What Will Carbon Fee and Dividend Do?
Carbon Fee and Dividend will do four things:
1. Account for the cost of burning fossil fuels in the price consumers pay.
2. Cut emissions enough to stay below the 2C threshold for “dangerous”
warming.
3. Grow jobs and GDP without growing government one bit.
4. Recruit global participation.
citizensclimatelobby.org
10/9/18 BOS minutes 24
The Text of the Carbon Fee and Dividend Proposal:
Therefore the following legislation is hereby enacted:
1. Collection of Carbon Fees/Carbon Fee Trust Fund: Upon enactment, impose a carbon
fee on all fossil fuels and other greenhouse gases at the point where they first
enter the economy. The fee shall be collected by the Treasury Department. The fee
on that date shall be $15 per ton of CO2 equivalent emissions and result in equal
charges for each ton of CO2 equivalent emissions potential in each type of fuel or
greenhouse gas. The Department of Energy shall propose and promulgate regulations
setting forth CO2 equivalent fees for other greenhouse gases including at a minimum
methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
perfluorocarbons, and nitrogen trifluoride. The Treasury shall also collect the
fees imposed upon the other greenhouse gases. 100% of the net revenues are to be
placed in the Carbon Fees Trust Fund and be rebated to American households as
outlined below.
2. Methane Leakage: Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 with both
direct and indirect effects contributing to warming. It is therefore important to
place a fee on methane that leaks to the atmosphere. Some of this leakage will
occur after the fee has been assessed on methane under the assumption that it will
be burned to yield the less potent CO2. To ensure the integrity of the program and
that markets receive accurate information with regard to the climate forcings
caused by various fossil fuels, the carbon fee shall be assessed on such leaked
methane at a rate commensurate with the global warming potential (“GWP”) of methane
including both its direct and indirect effects. Given the importance of tipping
points in the climate system, the 20-year GWP of methane shall be used to assess
the fee, and not the 100-year GWP. As proper accounting for such leakage is
necessary for honest assessment of progress towards program goals, reasonable steps
to assess the rate of methane leakage shall be implemented, and leaked methane
shall be priced accordingly. The entity responsible for the leaked methane shall be
responsible for paying the fee.
3. Emissions Reduction Targets: To align US emissions with the physical constraints
identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to avoid
irreversible climate change, the yearly increase in carbon fees including other
greenhouse gases, shall be at least $10 per ton of CO2 equivalent each year.
Annually, the Department of Energy shall determine whether an increase larger than
$10 per ton per year is needed to achieve program goals. Yearly price increases of
at least $10 per year shall continue until total U.S. CO2-equivalent emissions have
been reduced to 10% of U.S. CO2-equivalent emissions in 1990.
4. Equal Per-Person Monthly Dividend Payments: Equal monthly per-person dividend
payments shall be made to all American households (½ payment per child under 18
years old, with a limit of 2 children per family) each month. The total value of
all monthly dividend payments shall represent 100% of the total carbon fees
collected per month less administrative costs.
5. Border Adjustments: In order to ensure that U.S.-made goods can remain competitive
at home and abroad and to provide an additional incentive for international
adoptions of carbon fees, Carbon-Fee-Equivalent Tariffs shall be charged for goods
entering the U.S. from countries without comparable Carbon Fees/Carbon Pricing.
Carbon-Fee-Equivalent Rebates shall be used to reduce the price of exports to such
countries and to ensure that U.S. goods can remain competitive in those countries.
The Department of Commerce will determine rebate amounts and exemptions if any.

Financial Impact on Households of Carbon Fee and Dividend
Local Impacts in California - District 11
Introduction
This study on the impact to households of Carbon Fee and Dividend was funded to respond to concerns
expressed by members of Congress that constituents in their district would not benefit under our
proposal. Key to the concerns expressed was not only understanding how the average constituent did,
but how different groups of constituents fared. Concern for low-income constituents, for instance, is
common for members of both parties.
Figure 1: National Averages by Economic Quintile. Note that the three lowest-income quintiles show
a benefit for the mean (average) household. The average net benefit for the lowest-income quintile is
1.78% of income, whereas households in the top quintile experience, on average, net losses that are a
much smaller percentage of their total income, at just 0.18%.
All data is from the 2016 working paper, “Impact of CCL’s proposed carbon fee and dividend policy: A high-
resolution analysis of the financial effect on U.S. households” by Kevin Ummel, Research Scholar, Energy
Program, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).

Figure 2: Impact by Quintile for California - District 11. Looking at the categories on the bottom of
this graph, only the numbers for “Mean Net Benefit” and “Median HH income % of FPL” include all
households in a given quintile (FPL = Federal Poverty Line). Only those households who receive a
financial gain are included in calculating the “Median Gain” figures, and likewise, only those
households which experience a loss are included in calculating the “Median Loss” figures.
Figure 3: Impact by Race for California - District 11. Minority households tend to do better than
white households as a result of lower average incomes (associated with lower carbon footprint) and/or
more people per household (larger pre-tax dividend).
10/9/18 BOS minutes 27
Figure 4: Impact by Age Group for California - District 11. The pattern of benefits across age groups
makes sense given the impact of age on both carbon footprints and dividend received. Older households
tend to have smaller footprints, reflecting reduced mobility and less consumption as a result of low fixed
incomes. Younger households tend to be larger – and therefore benefited by the dividend formula – in
addition to less income/consumption in early career.
Figure 5: Impact by Household Type for California - District 11. This graph reports data for
demographic groups of particular interest to many legislators. “Elderly” households are defined as
having a household head age 65 or older, no more than two adults, and no children present. “Poverty”
and “Low income” refer to households with income below 100% and 200% of FPL, respectively.

Figure 6: Impact by Community for California - District 11. This graph breaks down data by
“community type” – Rural, Suburb or Town, vs Urban.
Figure 7: Expenditures by Category for California - District 11. Here we show a breakdown of
where the carbon fee increases expenses (i.e. before the dividend) for each quintile. Note that direct
energy expenditures (gasoline and utilities) represent less than half of the expense for most quintiles
with other products and services making up the rest. Quintile 1 shows low expenditure for private health
care since most health care for households in this quintile is covered by government programs. Allocated
Private Fixed Income (PFI) measures economy-wide spending on fixed assets (e.g. structures,
equipment, software, etc.) that are used in the production of goods and services.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 29
Figure 8: Relationship between benefit and income for California - District 11. This line graph
shows the relationship between income expressed as a percentage of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) vs.
the average (mean) benefit as a percentage of income for households. Benefits are highest for those at
the lowest income levels and generally positive through 200-300% of the FPL. Average loss for those
with higher incomes is relatively small as a percentage of annual income. To avoid anomalies from
small sample size at the margins, this graph does not include results for households in the bottom 1% of
income, nor those above the 90th percentile of income in the district. This graph also does not convey
information about how much of the population in the district is at any given point along the line.

RESOLUTION CHAPTER 168
Assembly Joint Resolution No. 43—Relative to greenhouse gases.
[Filed with Secretary of State September 1, 2016.]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
AJR 43, Williams. Greenhouse gases: climate change. This measure would urge the United
States Congress to enact a tax on carbon-based fossil fuels.
WHEREAS, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has stated in its recently released
5th Assessment Report, Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis, that “[w]arming of
the climate system is unequivocal” and “[i]t is extremely likely that human influence has been the
dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century”; and
WHEREAS, In May of 2013, the global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide reached
400 parts per million, the highest level in the last 800,000 years; and
WHEREAS, In May 2014, two separate scientific papers were published in journals of
Geophysical Research Letters documenting dramatic retreats of Antarctic glaciers and predicting
that large-scale destruction of the West Antarctic ice sheets is likely now inevitable and will lead
to sea level rises of 10 feet or more; and
WHEREAS, The 2013 Indicators of Climate Change in California, released by the Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, found that continued warming of the atmosphere
would cause threats of flooding along the coastline of California; threats to infrastructure, sewage
systems, wetlands, and marine life; increased ocean acidification; increased threats from
wildfires; threats to the water supply from decreased snow packs; increased asthma and
respiratory illness due to higher ozone levels; increased insurance and mitigation costs; and
negative impacts to the agriculture, fishing, and tourism industries; and
WHEREAS, Conservative estimates by climate scientists throughout the world state that, to
achieve climate stabilization and avoid cataclysmic climate change, emissions of greenhouse
gases must be brought to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050; and
WHEREAS, The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Division 25.5 (commencing
with Section 38500) of the Health and Safety Code) commits the state to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and the Governor’s Executive Order S-3-05 further calls on the
96 state to establish a policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels
by 2050; and
WHEREAS, The California Global Warming Solution Act of 2006 has reached its 10-year
anniversary and the California economy remains strong; and
WHEREAS, The United States needs powerful new policies to meet its greenhouse gas emission
reduction goals established in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement; and
WHEREAS, The United States Congress can enact a national carbon tax on fossil fuels, based on
the amount of carbon dioxide the fuel will emit when burned; and
WHEREAS, For efficient administration, fossil fuels can be taxed once, as far upstream in the
economy as practical, or at the port of entry into the United States; and
WHEREAS, A national, revenue-neutral carbon tax starting at a relatively low rate and increasing
steadily over future years is a market-based solution that would minimally disrupt the economy
while sending a clear and predictable price signal to businesses to develop and use noncarbon-
based energy resources; and
10/9/18 BOS minutes 32
WHEREAS, Citizens’ Climate Education Corporation Commissioned Regional Economic
Models, Inc. (REMI) to do a nation-wide macroeconomic study on the impact of a revenue-
neutral carbon tax; and
WHEREAS, REMI’s study predicted that, after 10 years, a revenue-neutral carbon tax would lead
to a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions by 33 percent, an increase in national employment by
2.1 million jobs, and an average monthly dividend for a family of four of $288; and
WHEREAS, Border adjustments, such as carbon-content-based tariffs on products imported from
countries without comparable carbon pricing and refunds to our exporters of carbon taxes paid
can maintain the competitiveness of United States businesses in global markets; and
WHEREAS, A national carbon tax can be implemented quickly and efficiently, and respond to
the urgency of the climate crisis, because the federal government already has in place
mechanisms, such as the Internal Revenue Service, needed to implement and enforce the tax and
already collects taxes from fossil fuel producers and importers; and
WHEREAS, A national carbon tax would make the United States a leader in mitigating climate
change and the advancing clean energy technologies of the 21st Century, and would incentivize
other countries to enact similar carbon taxes, thereby reducing global carbon dioxide emissions
without the need for complex international agreements; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly and the Senate of the State of California, jointly,
That the Legislature hereby urges the United States Congress to enact, without delay, a tax on
carbon-based fossil fuels; and be it further
Resolved, That the tax should be collected once, as far upstream in the economy as practical, or at
the port of entry into the United States; and, be it further
Resolved, That the tax rate should start low and increase steadily and predictably to achieve the
goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the United States to 80 percent below 1990 levels
by 2050; and be it further
Resolved, That all tax revenue should be returned to middle- and low-income Americans to
protect them from the impact of rising prices due to the tax; and, be it further
Resolved, That the international competitiveness of United States businesses should be protected
by using carbon-content-based tariffs and tax refunds; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the President
and Vice President of the United States, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to the
Majority Leader of the Senate, to each Senator and Representative from California in the
Congress of the United States, and to the author for appropriate distribution.

10/9/18 BOS minutes 38
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the Board of Supervisors adopts a meeting schedule that designates regular meeting dates and
any dates on which meetings must be canceled in anticipation that a quorum of the Board will not be
present. The proposed 2019 meeting schedule, attached, has been prepared in consultation with the
incoming Board Chair, Fire Chief and the Housing Authority Executive Director, and is presented for
the Board's consideration. The schedule provides 26 meetings for the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors and 12 meetings for each the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of
Directors and the Housing Authority of Contra Costa Board of Commissioners. The Fire District and
Housing Authority will take independent action to adopt their meeting schedules. The proposed
schedule includes a cancelation of 26 Board of Supervisors meetings. As in past years, we are
recommending that the Board cancel those meetings that fall during a week with a County holiday, the
fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in which the annual policy and
legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State of
Counties (CSAC) are held:

In the past 10 years, several seasonal breaks have also been designated in the Board's meeting schedule,
in recognition of both time away needed for vacations and of the time demands on the Board members
due to their participation on Board standing committees, and numerous regional and local legislative
bodies and task forces, which require preparation, attendance, and involve travel. We are recommending
eight seasonal breaks to accommodate these needs. Should it be necessary, there are legal provisions to
schedule a special meeting to address any urgent need that cannot be accommodated in the standing
meeting schedule.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Early adoption of a meeting schedule enables staff to effectively plan and manage the Board's calendar
and obtain the necessary authority to conduct the County's daily business. To the extent that the Board
does not adopt a new year meeting schedule, staff will be hindered in these efforts.

was graded on their ability to assess the threat, determine an action plan to mitigate the situation, and
exercise that plan. This annual competition challenges and prepares local Hazardous Material response
teams for an actual chemical/biological/nuclear incident in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Contra Costa Hazardous Materials Incident Response Team has won this event three times and came
in second last year and second and third in 2013. The team participating this year included: Maria Duazo
(Urban Shield Team Lead), Trisha Johnson, Daniel Vazquez, Hung Pham, David LeCount, Ellen
Dempsey, Adam Springer, Ian Williams, and Karine Abramians.
In addition to the team that competed, two members, Devra Lewis and Xavier Bryant, of the Hazardous
Materials Response Team were responsible for handling two of the scenarios. This includes assisting in
developing the scenario and evaluating the twelve teams on how well they did for their situation.

County
Subject:Refer to the Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee the development of an ordinance to ban polystyrene
food and beverage containers
10/9/18 BOS minutes 129
BACKGROUND:
Every five years, the Regional Water Quality Control Board issues the County a stormwater permit,
a Municipal Regional Permit (MRP), requiring the County to improve stormwater quality in
unincorporated County communities. Many of the permit provisions focus on reducing various
pollutants in the County’s waterways and storm drain system. Trash is considered a pollutant and
the current permit (MRP 2.0) has a strong emphasis on reducing trash, with load reduction targets
of 70% by 2017, 80% by 2019 and 100% by 2022. The County has developed a Trash Reduction
Plan to meet these load reduction targets, and one element of the plan is to ban polystyrene food
containers. Polystyrene (often referred to as styrofoam) is an especially troublesome form of litter
as it tends to break down into smaller and smaller pieces in the environment, so that one initial
piece of polystyrene trash over time becomes multiple pieces of trash. And, as the polystyrene
breaks down into smaller pieces it becomes more and more difficult to pick out of or extract from
the environment.
In late August, staff mailed out a letter to about 200 stores, markets, and other businesses that
would be impacted by the ordinance, and to other organizations or businesses that would be
interested, such as representative associations, nonprofit groups, and recycling companies. The
letter explained why the County is proposing to adopt a ban on polystyrene food and beverage
containers and what would be included in the proposed ban. The next step in the process is to
develop a draft ordinance. Staff recommends referring this proposal to the Transportation, Water,
and Infrastructure Committee to receive input and direction from the Committee and public
comment on the proposed polystyrene ban before drafting the ordinance. The draft ordinance can
then reflect direction from the Committee and input from the public.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Staff would not have comments and input from the Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure
Committee and the public when preparing the draft ordinance to ban polystyrene food and beverage
containers.

Kensington Municipal Advisory Council: Submitted
Describe why you are interested in serving on this advisory board/commission (please limit
your response to one paragraph).
I have been asked by my neighbors to consider volunteering for KMAC as a step toward becoming more
involved with the governance of our community(Kensington). I am an Adjunct Professor of Education at
UC Berkeley. My teaching includes addressing citizenship education. It seems only fitting that I actually do
something in terms of civic involvement rather than simply encourage teachers to get young people
involved.

Board of Supervisors to make funding recommendations on the allocation of a variety of funds for
prevention and intervention services to reduce child abuse and neglect, provide supportive services to
families and children, and promote a more coordinated, seamless system of services for families. Funding

Every two years, the members of the FACT establish a series of County priorities for the use of these funds
through review of existing data and reports and by holding Public Hearings in various areas of the county.

are made to the Board of Supervisors which makes the final funding decisions. The Committee
continues to evaluate these funded programs to ensure continued provision of quality service and
achievement of stated goals.
FACT has up to fifteen members who are appointed by the Board and include citizens with expertise in
children’s issues, education, law, non-profit agency management, public health, and program
research/evaluation. In addition, the Director of the Child Abuse Prevention Council sits as ex-officio
member of the Committee and participates in all matters except actually voting on funding
recommendations. Terms for all Commission seats are two years. FACT Committee membership
consists of the following: five At-Large seats; one representative from each of the five Supervisorial
Districts; five discipline/sector specific seats.
There are currently 14 seats filled and one vacancy on FACT. The Committee vacancy is in the
discipline-specific Seat 3, Local Planning Council. Current FACT Committee seat members live or
work in the following areas of the county: East (2): One At-Large, District III; Central/South (11): Four
discipline specific, Four At-Large, Districts II, IV and V; West (1): District I.
At the September 24, 2018 meeting, the Family and Human Services Committee approved the
recommendation of the appointment of Lisa Johnson, Karin Kauzer, and Mary Flott to the FACT
Committee. These appointments will expire September 30, 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The discipline specific First 5 Commission seat, discipline specific School Representative seat, and At
Large 1 seat will become vacant.

Profile
Which Boards would you like to apply for?
Workforce Development Board: Submitted
Describe why you are interested in serving on this advisory board/commission (please limit
your response to one paragraph).
The Contra Costa Board of Workforce Development is a contributing sector of the Public Workforce
system that supports economic expansion and development of the talent of the county’s workforce. The
Contra Costa Board of Workforce Development creates expansive, and ever-growing, opportunities to
workers and employers in the area. As a small business owner, it is important to become part of the
partnership that ensures workers are being trained and supported in ways that answer to the current
needs of local business. Additionally, as a small business owner located in a redeveloping corridor of the
county, becoming part of the workforce solution is vital to the success of the other businesses in the
areas of redevelopment and revitalization, but also to the community members that live within our
boundaries. There are an overwhelmingly number of people who want to work, but lack the necessary
understanding of what steps to take to take and what educational resources and job opportunities exist.
As a member of the Board of Workforce Development, I can proactively work to ensure sector strategies
of resource allocation answer to the training needs of the community and contribute to the development of
a workforce that is necessary within a growing economy. As we prepare for high growth in the community
and within the construction and renewable energy industry, appropriate training is imperative.
Communicating our needs as industry voices allows for training programs to truly be developed that align
with the business community at large. As a small business owner, I can openly and credibly contribute
labor market information to develop effective, appropriate and sustainable strategies for growth.
This application is used for all boards and commissions

TO: Family and Human Services Committee

FROM: Donna Van Wert, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Appointment to Workforce Development Board
This memorandum requests the Family and Human Services Committee recommend to the Contra Costa County
Board of Supervisors the appointment of the following candidates to the new WIOA compliant Workforce
Development Board of Contra Costa County.
Background:
Local board structure and size:
Compared to predecessor legislation, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) substantially
changes Local Board composition by reducing local workforce development board size while maintaining a
business and industry majority and ensuring representation from labor and employment and training
organizations.
The Executive Committee of the local WIOA board met January 21, 2016 and approved a recommended WIOA
Board configuration, subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 29, 2016. To meet the
categorical membership percentages, the WDB recommended a board of twenty-five (25) members. This option
represents the minimum required local board size under WIOA plus an additional six (6) optional representatives
in the following enumerated categories: 1) business; 2) workforce; 3) education and training.
Category – Representatives of Business (WIOA Section 107(b)(2)(A))
• Thirteen (13) representatives (52%)
Category – Representatives of Workforce (WIOA Section 107(b)(2)(A))
• Five (5) representatives (20%)
Category – Representatives of Education and Training (WIOA Section 107(b)(2)(C))
• One (1) Adult Education/Literacy Representative (WIOA title II)
• One (1) Higher Education Representative
• One (1) Economic and Community Development Representative
• One (1) Wagner Peyser Representative
• One (1) Vocational Rehabilitation Representative
Two (2) additional seats from the above categories, including constituencies referenced in
Attachment III of Training Employment & Guidance Letter (TEGL) 27-14.

In addition, to the new leaders and the increased workload expected of the office staff, there have been
increased requirements for supporting our thirty nine (39) resident physicians (which is one of the largest

and most respected Family Medicine Residency programs nationally). The most pressing need in the
residency office is the role of the residency clinic scheduler. The primary duties of this role entail
creating, managing and maintaining schedules for the thirty nine resident physicians, as well as,
supporting the schedules for their supervising/teaching physicians. The work requires an individual with
experience in managing specialized physician schedules as is a Medical Staff Coordinator.
The primary responsibility of this position is essential to meeting both regulatory requirements and
patient care needs via our resident physicians' continuity clinics, and it is critical to maintain this role in
order to minimize clinic cancellations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, there will not be sufficient staff in the Residency Office which will
negatively impact the deliverable regulatory requirements for supporting the thirty nine resident
physicians.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22353 to add one (1) Health Services Reimbursement
Accountant position (VCTA) at salary plan and grade level ZA5-1854 ($7,699 - $10,318) in the Health
Services Department. (Represented)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, there is an annual cost of approximately $208,711 which includes pension costs of $47,149.
This is offset by a combined cost savings through consulting contract expirations and third party revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Health Services Reimbursement Accountant
position allocated to its Finance Division. This position is necessary due to the increased complexity of cost
claiming and audit protocols related to reimbursement within the Behavioral Health Division. Duties and
responsibilities of this position include performing complex financial reimbursement work including
preparing reimbursement reports and developing a new settlement structure due to changing the
reimbursement process to a flat fee-for-services rate structure. Typical tasks include maintaining the
necessary financial and statistical data required for the preparation of reimbursement reports, rendering
technical advice and providing assistance to Behavioral Health managers in areas which impact
reimbursement by third party payers.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, there is an annual cost savings of $7,166 with pension cost of $4,777. This is a salary
savings to the Mental Health Services Act Innovation fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Clerk-Senior Level position and cancel one vacant
Medical Records Technician position #13363 in East County Children's Clinic within Behavioral Health
Division. With the advantages of technology and the recent implementation of the new electronic health
record ccLink system, paper charting have become obsolete. The specialized skill of a Medical Records
Technician is no longer necessary as the level of work can be appropriately assigned to a Clerk-Senior
Level position. Utilization of Clerk-Senior Level will provide the department the ability to assign a broader
range of clerical duties such as document scanning, processing client information requests and providing

RECOMMENDATION(S):
DIRECT the Human Resources Director, or designee, to allocate the three percent wage increase negotiated
for specified employees in the Community Services Bureau on top off the minimum wage increase of
January 1, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The resolution implementing a wage increase for specified Community Services Unit employees impacted
by this action was on the Board's agenda of September 25, 2018. The cost of the three percent (3%) wage
increase is dependent upon the number of hours worked by the employees. All costs will be absorbed by the
Community Services Bureau of the Employment and Human Resources Department. This action is
administrative and has no additional cost.
BACKGROUND:
On December 5, 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2017/396 which specifies actions
to align employee wages with the California hourly minimum wage. In order to remain in step, job classes
below the State of California minimum wage will be reallocated on the salary schedule on January 1 of
each year to set Step 1 of the salary range at the minimum wage.

Subject:Direct the Human Resources Department to Adjust Specific Salary Ranges in relation to California Minimum Wage
10/9/18 BOS minutes 327
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Several classifications within the Community Services Bureau were adjusted on January 1, 2018
pursuant to Resolution No. 2017/396.
The minimum wage Board Order included a statement that read "If a Memorandum of Understanding
provides for a general negotiated salary increase (NSI), and such increase would exceed the January 1
minimum wage, the salary range will be adjusted to the level it would have been as the result of the NSI
as though the January 1 minimum wage adjustment had not occurred".
Subsequently, on September 24, 2018, the County adopted a three percent (3%) wage increase for
employees in the Community Services Units represented by Public Employees Union Local 1. Because
four of the effected classifications fall below the January 1, 2019 California Minimum Wage of $12.00,
even if the wage adjustment is calculated on current salary, it is recommended that these classification
be allocated the entire three percent wage increase negotiated "on top off" the minimum wage increase of
January 1, 2018. It is also recommended that these classifications continue to be adjusted for minimum
wage each January 1.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved, specified employees in the Community Services Bureau will not receive a
three percent wage increase.

Step 2 of the Salary Schedule in the new classification. Based on the difficulty the Department has faced
with recruiting to fill this position permanently, we recommend that the incumbent’s salary step be
adjusted to Step 4 upon transfer.
The pertinent section of the Salary Regulations are in Section 4: Salary Administration – Class and
Other Changes. Section 4.12 states, in part, "An employee who transfers to a position in a
different class than that he previously occupied, but at a different salary range within
five (5) percent at the top step, shall be paid at the same salary as he was receiving
before the transfer. If the former salary is not a step on the new range, the employee
shall be paid at the next higher step on the new range; if no higher step is available, the
employee shall be paid at the next lower step on the new range."
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the position will remain vacant pending another recruitment.

10/9/18 BOS minutes 335
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
years both employees in the position of Information System Programmer Analyst II have assumed more
responsibilities and varied job duties at a higher level than what is typically allocated to their current
classification. Both employees completed position description questionnaires, and the Human Resources
Department performed a desk audit of the job duties of each incumbent. Based on the review of the
position description questionnaire, job class descriptions, desk audit observations, interviews with the
employees and their supervisor, documentation provided by the department and consultation with the
Department of Information Technology, it was determined that the preponderance of the duties and
responsibilities of the incumbents warrants a reclassification of one employee to Information Systems
Supervisor, and the other employee to a Senior Business Systems Analyst.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If these position changes are not approved, the incumbents will not be properly classified.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the

with young children and those who rely on the library for their Internet connection and computer use.
Funding from the CPUC Broadband Access Project grant will go a long way in restoring essential library
services to the residents of El Sobrante.

Subject:Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS Funding Agreement between the City of Oakland and the County
of Contra Costa
10/9/18 BOS minutes 352
BACKGROUND:
The National Affordable Housing Act (Public Law 101-625, approved November 28, 1990) authorizes
the Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS Program (HOPWA) to provide states and
localities with resources to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs of
persons with HIV/AIDS and related diseases.
The City of Oakland (City) is the HOPWA grant recipient for Alameda and Contra Costa counties. The
City allocates HOPWA funds between the counties based on the number of HIV/AIDS cases. Approval
of a funding agreement with the City will provide $855,550 in fiscal year 2018 funds to the County.
These funds may be used for site acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of affordable housing;
supportive services; housing information services; rent and utility subsidies; and certain other housing
related activities for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS in both incorporated and unincorporated areas
of the County.
County staff from the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) and staff from the Health
Services Department (HSD) coordinate periodically to identify and address the housing-related service
needs of low-income persons with HIV/AIDS in Contra Costa County. HOPWA funds are allocated to
HSD annually to administer housing services. Funding allocations for both housing development and
services are based on factors such as client needs and timely expenditure of HOPWA funds. The
recommended allocations for 2017 reflect the anticipated funding needed for HSD to continue its
HIV/AIDS program ($365,000) and DCD’s program administration costs ($55,885), and the remainder
is allocated for housing for persons with HIV/AIDS ($434,665). The Contra Costa Consortium (County
staff and staff from the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek) will make
recommendations to the Board of Supervisors at a later date on the component of funding for housing.
The HSD HIV/AIDS program award of HOPWA funding is sufficient to allow for the continuation of
the services through June 30, 2020. HSD HIV/AIDS program activities include housing advocacy and
housing information services, including client intake, housing needs assessment, assistance with locating
affordable housing, assistance with housing-related benefit applications, development and
implementation of client housing plans, emergency assistance funds, follow-up to ensure receipt of
benefits and housing, and referral to other services. In fiscal year 2018/19, HSD will continue a Short
Term Rental Mortgage and Utility Assistance Program (STRMU) as part of a homeless prevention
strategy, intended to reduce the risks of homelessness and to improve access to health care and other
needed support. STRMU will involve efforts to restore client self-sufficiency and future independence
from housing support by the end of the program's term. This will be accomplished through the use of
time-limited housing assistance payments for eligible individuals and by the creation of individual
housing service plans that include an assessment of current resources and the establishment of long-term
goals for recipient households.
The Department of Conservation and Development requests that the Board of Supervisors approve the
recommended allocations and attached Funding Agreement in its substantially final form.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve the fiscal year 2018 HOPWA funding agreement with the City of
Oakland, the County would not receive and administer $855,550 in HOPWA funds, and low-income
persons with HIV/AIDS in the County would lose vital housing and supportive services.

provide services independent of any housing activity. The County shall ensure that the
HOPWA Allocation is used only for HOPWA-eligible activities as approved by the City

c. The County shall conduct ongoing assessment of service provided by Sub-recipients
and Developers. County may monitor those Sub-recipients and Developers who
continue to provide the same or similar services each year and have not had any audit
findings in the preceding year every other year, but at least every third year. By May
30th of each year, County shall develop a preliminary monitoring schedule for the next
fiscal year. The County shall use a risk assessment tool to determine which Sub-
recipients and Developers will be monitored. Existing Sub-recipients and Developers
that have the highest number of risk factors, as determined by the County, along with
new Sub-recipients and Developers that have never been monitored by the County,
will be given the highest priority for monitoring. Sub-recipients and Developers with
multiple findings during initial monitoring should be monitored by the County
annually throughout the term of the contract. The City and County shall monitor Sub-
recipients and Developers as required by HUD.
d. The County shall retain all project files, financial records, and any other documents
related to this Agreement for a period of four (4) years from the date of the final
annual report of this Agreement, except in the following cases:

period.
c. Records for real property and equipment acquired with Federal funds must be

evaluating performance hereunder. The rights of access in this section are not limited
to the required retention period but last as long as the records are retained.
9. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The County may use up to seven percent (7%) of the funds allocated to a particular project
(“Project Activity Funds”) for Project Sponsor administrative expenses. The amounts
designated as administrative funds in the Budget are to be used as administrative
expenditures related to carrying out the HOPWA program activities, housing, and services
described in this Agreement in compliance with 24 C.F.R. § 574.500 and 2 CFR§ 200.
10. METHOD OF PAYMENT
10/9/18 BOS minutes 358
The County may submit requests for payment to the City no more than once per month
and not less than once per quarter. When submitting a request for payment, the County

summary of the funds expended, by budget category and Sub-recipients and Developers,
for the months for which funds are requested.
The County shall retain, for review by the City, documentation to support the funding
requested. In order to receive payment, each request must be substantiated by
documentation reasonably sufficient to support the payment requested by the County
including documentation of rate and hours for staff and consultant and invoices for non-
personnel costs. The County shall grant access to representatives of the City to any
supporting documentation within seven days after receipt of a written request by the City.
Any income generated by the County from the use of HOPWA Funds governed by this
Agreement shall be considered HOPWA program income. All HOPWA program income
shall be retained by the County for the term of this Agreement. The use of all HOPWA
program income is reserved specifically for HOPWA-eligible Activities listed in Schedule
A-1 and is subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any program income held by the
County at the time of the Request for Payment will be used to reduce the total amount
disbursed to the County.
Funds disbursed to the County may not exceed the amount set forth in the Budget attached
as Schedule B or the amount of the HOPWA Allocation as set forth in section 2 herein.
The City shall verify and approve requisitions and required supporting data for accuracy
and programmatic compliance prior to payment. Relevant reports and documents are to be
submitted as required within the context of this Agreement. The County's failure to
comply with these requirements will cause a delay in payment and could result in
termination of the Agreement. The City shall be responsible for the IDIS system, setting
up all projects and activities, and tracking budgets in the HUD system. The City shall
draw funds as required for timely reimbursement. The County shall assist the City in IDIS
management as needed and as requested by City.
All authorized financial obligations incurred in the performance of this Agreement must
be reported to the City within sixty (60) days of the expiration of the Performance Period
under the Agreement, as such period may be adjusted from time to time. No claims
submitted after the sixty-day period shall be recognized as binding upon the City for
reimbursement. Any financial obligation and/or debts incurred by the County and not
reported to the City within the sixty-day period may become the sole liability of the
County, and the City may be relieved of any and all responsibilities unless there is a
justifiable cause and valid reason of delayed submission.
11. AUDIT REPORT
10/9/18 BOS minutes 359
In addition to the reporting requirements listed in Section 8 – Monitoring and Reporting,
the County shall commission an independent auditing firm to prepare and file with the
City an annual audit report for the County’s Housing and Community Development
department (HCD) for each year during the term of this Agreement. The County’s failure
to submit the audit report may result in the termination of this Agreement.
The audit report shall be submitted to the City by March 30th of each year during the term
of this Agreement. The audit report shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
200 CFR Subpart F. The City will use the audit report to determine whether:
1. The financial statements of the HCD present fairly its financial position and the results
of its operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
2. The HCD has (i) an internal control structure to provide reasonable assurance that the
HCD is managing Federal awards in compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
and (ii) controls that ensure compliance with laws and regulations that could have a
material impact on the HCD’s financial statements.
3. The HCD has complied with laws and regulations for the HOPWA Program that may
have a direct and material effect on the HCD’s financial statements.
The County shall also submit any internal control monitoring (or audit) conducted for
HCD during the term of this Agreement to the City. The County shall require Sub-
recipients and Developers with which the County contracts in connection with this
Agreement to meet the same audit requirements set forth in this Section 11.
12. INDEMNITY
The County shall indemnify and hold the City, its Councilmembers, officials, directors,
employees, and agents harmless from any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands,
judgments, actions, court costs, and legal or other expenses (including attorneys' fees) that
the City many incur as a result of (i) the improper use of HOPWA Allocation by the
County, (ii) the County's failure to perform its obligation to monitor the use of HOPWA
Allocation under this Agreement, or (iii) any demand by HUD to the City for
reimbursement of any HOPWA Allocation to the extent such demand is based on the
negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the County in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. The duty of the County to indemnify includes the duty
to defend the City in any court action, administrative action, or other proceeding brought
by any third party, including HUD, to the extent such action or proceeding arises as a
result of the County’s sole negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. The County's duty to indemnify shall survive the term
of this Agreement.
The County shall require each Sub-recipient and Developer to indemnify and defend the
City to the same extent and in the same manner as described in the first paragraph of this
10/9/18 BOS minutes 360
Section 12 from the consequences of the Sub-recipient’s and Developer’s negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations under contracts
entered into in connection with this Agreement.
The City shall indemnify and defend the County to the same extent and in the same
manner as described in the first paragraph of this Section 12 from the consequences of the
City’s negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement.
The party with the obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 12 shall pay the
indemnified parties as soon as practicable following the determination of the amount due.
13. PROMPT PAYMENT
This Agreement is subject to the Prompt Payment Ordinance codified in Chapter 2.06 of the
Oakland Municipal Code. Under said Ordinance, the City must disburse grant funds to a
Project Sponsor within 20 business days after receipt of an undisputed request for payment.
An undisputed request for payment is a request for payment that is not a “disputed invoice”
within the meaning of the Prompt Payment Ordinance. Under the ordinance, a “disputed
invoice” is an invoice or request for payment that is either (1) improperly executed by
Project Sponsor, (2) contains errors, (3) requires additional evidence to determine its
validity, and/or (4) contains expenditures or proposed expenditures that are ineligible or that
do not otherwise comply with reimbursement or disbursal requirements of the City or
another grant funding source. If a request for payment is “disputed,” the payment/disbursal
shall not be subject to late penalties until the dispute is resolved. In the event a request for
payment is disputed, the City shall notify the Project Sponsor and the City’s Liaison (as
defined in the Prompt Payment Ordinance) in writing within five business days of receiving
the disputed request for payment that there is a bona fide dispute, in which case the City
shall withhold the disputed amount and may withhold the full amount if the funding source
for the grant requires that the disputed expenditures be fully resolved prior to any
disbursement of grant funds. If the funding source for the grant requires its review and
approval before payments are made to a Project Sponsor, this period shall be suspended for
any period of review by said agency. If any amount due by the City to be disbursed to a
Project Sponsor pursuant to this Agreement is not timely paid in accordance with the Prompt
Payment Ordinance, the Project Sponsor is entitled to interest penalty in the amount of 10%
of the improperly withheld amount per year for every month that payment is not made,
provided that the Project Sponsor agrees to release the City from any and all further claims
for interest penalties that may be claimed or collected on the amount due and paid. Grant
recipients that receive interest penalties for late payment pursuant to the Prompt Payment
Ordinance may not seek further interest penalties on the same late payment in law or equity.
The Prompt Payment Ordinance further requires that, unless specific exemptions apply, a
Project Sponsor shall pay undisputed invoices of its subcontractors for goods and/or services
within 20 business days of submission of invoices unless the Project Sponsor notifies the
City’s Liaison in writing within five business days that there is a bona fide dispute between
10/9/18 BOS minutes 361
the Project Sponsor and claimant, in which case the Project Sponsor may withhold the
disputed amount but shall pay the undisputed amount. Disputed payments are subject to
investigation by the City’s Liaison and, and upon the filing of a complaint, the Project
Sponsor, if opposing payment, shall provide security in the form of cash, certified check or
bond to cover the disputed amount and penalty during the investigation. If the Project
Sponsor fails or refuses to deposit security, the City will withhold an amount sufficient to
cover the claim from the next grant payment. The City, upon a determination that an
undisputed invoice or payment is late, will release security deposits or withholds directly to
claimants for valid claims. A Project Sponsor is not allowed to retain monies from
subcontractor payments for goods as project retention, and is required to release
subcontractor project retention in proportion to the subcontractor services rendered, for
which payment is due and undisputed, within five business days of payment. For the purpose
of posting on the City's website, the Project Sponsor is required to file notice with the City
of release of retention and payment of mobilization fees, within five business days of such
payment or release. In addition, the Project Sponsor is required to file an affidavit, under
penalty of perjury, that he or she has paid all subcontractors, within five business days
following receipt of payment from the City. The affidavit shall provide the names and
addresses of all subcontractors and the amount paid to each.
14. INVESTIGATION AND/OR DISCIPLINE DISCLOSURE
Project Sponsor and any and all Sub-recipients and Developers shall submit information
concerning any investigations and/or discipline imposed by any state or federal authorities
by completing Schedule V – Affidavit of Non-Disciplinary or Investigatory Action and
Schedule Z – Certification of Debarment and Suspension.
15. INSURANCE
Unless a written waiver is obtained from the City’s Risk Manager, County must provide
the insurance listed in the City of Oakland Insurance Requirements attached hereto as
Schedule Q and incorporated herein by reference.
16. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
This Agreement may be terminated by either party if the City and County mutually agree
in writing to its termination and upon the termination conditions, including the effective
date and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated.
If, through any cause, the County shall fail to fulfill in timely and proper manner its
obligations under this Agreement, or if the County violates any of the covenants,
agreements, or stipulations of this Agreement, the City shall thereupon have the right to
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the County of such termination and
specifying the effective date thereof, at least 30 days before the effective date of such
10/9/18 BOS minutes 362
termination. In such event, the County shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for any
eligible work completed subject to the limitations of this Agreement.
The City’s obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon the availability of funds
from the funding source for this Agreement. The City may terminate this Agreement on
30 days’ written notice to County without further obligation if said funding is withdrawn
or otherwise becomes unavailable for continued funding of the Agreement. After
termination of this Agreement the City shall pay all amounts due to the County under this
Agreement within 30 days of receipt of invoice from County.
17. NON-DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES
County shall not discriminate or permit discrimination against any person or group of
persons in any manner prohibited by federal, state or local laws. During the performance
of this Agreement, County agrees as follows:
a. County and Sub-recipients and Developers, shall not discriminate against any
employee or applicant for employment because of age, marital status, religion,
gender, sexual preference, race, creed, color, national origin, Acquired-Immune

origin, Acquired-Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), AIDS-Related
Complex (ARC) or disability.
c. County shall make its goods, services, and facilities accessible to people with
disabilities and shall verify compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
by executing Schedule C-1, Declaration of Compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
d. If applicable, County will send to each labor union or representative of workers
with whom County has a collective bargaining agreement or contract or
understanding, a notice advising the labor union or workers’ representative of
County’s commitments under this nondiscrimination clause and shall post copies
of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for
employment.

18. EQUAL BENEFITS ORDINANCE
This Agreement is subject to the Equal Benefits Ordinance codified in Chapter 2.32 of the

general welfare by requiring that public funds be expended in a manner so as to prohibit
discrimination in the provision of employee benefits by City Project Sponsors between
employees with spouses and employees with domestic partners, and/or bet ween domestic

the property is owned by the City or if the City has a right to occupy the property, and if
the contract’s presence at that location is connected to a contract with the City; and (3)
elsewhere in the United States where work related to a City contract is being performed.
The requirements of this chapter shall not apply to subcontracts or Sub-recipients and
Developers of any contract with Project Sponsor.

Benefits-Declaration of Nondiscrimination attached and incorporated herein as Schedule
N-1.
19. LIVING WAGE ORDINANCE

any other act or omission or to waive the requirement for the City’s written consent to
future waivers.
29. OTHER AGREEMENTS

allowed by such ruling and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement or the
application of this Agreement to other situation shall remain in full force and effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any material term or provision of this Agreement or
the application of such material term or condition to a particular situation is finally found
to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then

SCHEDULE A
PRIORITY SETTING AND SELECTION PROCESS
The County, in consultation with the City as laid out below, shall allocate and award the HOPWA
allocation received under this contract to Sub-recipients and Developers to carry out HOPWA-
eligible activities within the County’s jurisdiction, and shall monitor and report on the results.
This work shall be carried out consistent with the following requirements:
1. Consolidated Planning Process
The City prepares a Consolidated Plan and an annual Action Plan as a requirement for
participation in certain federal housing programs funded through the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, including the HOPWA program. The County will
coordinate the development of such information as is required to substantially complete all
narratives, tables and other sections related to HOPWA funds and activities, unmet HIV/AIDS
housing and supportive service needs, and priorities and strategies within the County, and
provide this information to the City in a format to be determined by the City. The City shall
present the County with a schedule of needed information well in advance of deadlines, and
shall closely coordinate on compiling required information.
The City will include the County’s HOPWA priorities and contemplated allocation of
resources among eligible funding categories in the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Plan.
2. Establishment of Priorities
In consultation with the City and other stakeholders in the community, the County will
recommend priorities for the HOPWA funds, categories for funding, and a method and
schedule for awarding funds within the County.
In preparing these recommendations the County will use, but is not limited to, information
from the following sources and planning documents:
The most recent HOPWA or HIV/AIDS housing needs assessment;
The most recent Oakland TGA HIV/AIDS Health Services Comprehensive Plan (the
“Comprehensive Plan”), required for participation in programs funded through the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Ryan White Program.
The Continuum of Care Plan, 10-year Plan or other plans adopted by the Board of
Supervisors to address homelessness and housing crises in the County, and any
updates or addenda to this Plan.
Other relevant documents or needs assessments related to housing needs,
homelessness, HIV/AIDS prevalence and related matters.
The County’s recommendations will take into consideration the priorities of the community as
10/9/18 BOS minutes 372
2
expressed in any comprehensive HIV/AIDS housing needs assessment, and shall endeavor to
incorporate recommendations from relevant homeless or housing plans, changes in the
HIV/AIDS epidemic that may change the demand for HIV/AIDS housing and related services,
and priorities established by complementary funding streams which HOPWA funds may be
used to leverage.
3. Consultation with Local HIV/AIDS Advisory Bodies:
The County shall, either in the creation of a comprehensive needs assessment as referenced
above, or through other means of consultation, consult with the following agencies: the
County department with responsibility for HIV/AIDS care, the HIV/AIDS Planning Council,
which sets priorities for Ryan White funding; with the cities and/or entitlement jurisdictions
that participate in county-level housing planning; public and private organizations involved in
the provision of housing and services to persons living with HIV/AIDS; and other local
interest groups.
4. Public Meetings
The County will strive to encourage persons with HIV/AIDS, their families and advocates to
express their views and ideas of what they perceive as community development and housing
needs in the County through the above mentioned priority-setting processes.
The County will include a discussion of HOPWA in its meetings for its Annual Action Plan.
Meeting participants will be provided with information about the HOPWA program, amount
of HOPWA funds available, eligible activities, and the application process.
In addition, the County shall cause an annual meeting to be held for coordination of
HIV/AIDS programs. County shall ensure that the annual meeting is widely publicized and
open to the public. The annual public meeting will be held to advise residents and nonprofit
organizations of program requirements and processes to be followed in developing and
approving applications for federal grant programs, including HOPWA.
County shall provide meeting participants with information about the HOPWA program,
funds available for both housing and community development activities and for planning and
administrative activities. County shall make information available to citizens, public
agencies, and other interested parties, including the specific amount of assistance the County
expects to receive and the range of eligible activities that may be undertaken. County shall
publish this information in the non-legal section of one or more newspapers of general
circulation at least thirty (30) days prior to the date applications for funding are due. The
City may conduct additional public meetings at various stages of the funding process.
Meetings will be scheduled at times and locations that permit broad participation by very low
and low-income persons. When needed or upon request, translators will be made available for
non-English speaking attendees and the hearing-impaired.

5. Recommendations for Funding Categories and Allocations
Based on HOPWA priorities established through the consultative process described above, the
County will develop recommendations concerning the amount of HOPWA funds to be
allocated to each eligible funding category. The County will present these recommendations
to the City for its review and comment. City approval will depend on the County's proposal
being: (a) consistent with the City’s established community priorities, and (b) eligible for
receipt of HOPWA funds in accordance with HOPWA regulations and guidance.
6. Competitive Application Process
HOPWA funds will be allocated to eligible activities consistent with the established funding
priorities through one or more competitive application processes seeking program Sub-
recipients and Developers to work directly with people living with HIV/AIDS. The City may
participate in this process as an observer and may provide technical assistance. The County
will host public meetings to discuss the use of HOPWA funds in the County’s jurisdiction and
to provide technical assistance to potential applicants in developing eligible projects. City
may request additional technical assistance from HUD upon request.
The County is responsible for overall implementation of the competitive application. County
will send the Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) to all interested parties. The County
will convene a review panel consisting of County staff and representatives from a selected
number of cities or other parties with knowledge of the community who do not have a conflict
of interest. The funding recommendations from the County will be based on the following
established criteria: consistency with established priorities; eligibility under federal
regulations; alleviation of identified needs; target population; project feasibility and cost-
effectiveness; experience; outreach and affirmative marketing program; and project readiness.
In addition to the conflict of interest requirements in 2 CFR 200.318, no person who is an
employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected or appointed official of the City or County
who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to assisted
activities, or who is in a position to participate in a decision making process or gain inside
information with regard to such activities, may obtain a financial interest or benefit from the
activity, or have an interest in any contract, subcontract, or agreement with respect thereto, or
the proceeds thereunder, either for himself or herself or for those with whom he or she has
family or business ties, during his or her tenure or for one year thereafter.
7. Funds Awarded and Distributed
Following completion of the competitive application process described above, the County
shall submit to the City a description of the priority-setting, selection process and a list of
10/9/18 BOS minutes 374
4
selected Sub-recipients and Developers. No later than thirty days after execution of this
Agreement, County shall submit HOPWA County Staff Report for approval by City.
The City will review the proposed projects to confirm eligibility under federal regulations and
contracting requirements (24 CFR Part 574). If the proposed projects comply with federal
HOPWA regulations, the City will approve the projects and so inform the County. If the City
finds that the proposed projects are inconsistent with federal HOPWA regulations, the City
will so inform the County and provide a rationale for its finding(s). Unless rejected by the
City in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the staff report and budget allocation
report, the projects will be deemed accepted.
Following approval by the City, the County will submit the recommended projects and
program Sub-recipients and Developers to the County Board of Supervisors for its review and
approval. Once approved by the County Board of Supervisors, the County will submit a final
Schedule A-1 to the City.
The County, Sub-recipients, Developers, and all other project partners and contractors may
not acquire, rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair, dispose of, demolish, or construct property to
be funded from this Agreement, or commit or expend any funding for projects to be funded
from this Agreement, until the City has completed its environmental review process. The City
will disallow any project that takes choice-limiting actions before completion of the
environmental review.
Any HOPWA eligible Program Delivery costs associated with any of the Developer of Sub-
recipient contracts shall be built into the budget line item for Developer or Sub-recipient per
24 CFR 574.3.
8. Contract Renewals
In order to encourage continuity and cost-effectiveness in the provision of services, the
County shall consider two-year contracts for housing operations, housing counseling and
supportive service projects and/or programs. Projects and/or programs will be evaluated after
the first year of performance. Second-year implementation will be contingent upon funds
availability and a satisfactory performance evaluation. The County will provide the City with
information regarding the second-year funding recommendations.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to accept a grant in the amount of
$15,000 from the Pacific Library Partnership to hire a consultant to create service standards to meet the
direct needs of library users, for the period September 1, 2018 through July 1, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the consultant is $50,000. This grant will cover 30% of the amount. The other 70% ($35,000)
will require the use of Library Funds.
BACKGROUND:
To meet expressed needs of the community, Contra Costa County Library is embarking on the Readers
Initiative to reintroduce an important relationship between individuals and their fondest library memories
(what the strategic plan refers to as the ‘evocative library’). By reestablishing this critical relationship the
library will be well positioned to greet current and lapsed users while also creating relationships with new
users. Central to this is making sure the library is a welcoming place in how it greets people and how it
presents products and services. This grant will facilitate contracting with a library consultant to provide
assessments and recommendations for the user experience in library spaces as well as provide a plan for
implementation and staff training on best practices.

for recording and editing over 50 additional videos of Contra Costa County Library staff performing story
time activities.
Each video will be designed for kids and families to learn and practice skills that are fundamental to early
literacy, just as if they were attending a story time held inside a library building. These performances will
be filmed in the Contra Costa Television studio. The videos will be available at anytime from anywhere

more awareness of the library as an early literacy hub. In addition to the Library’s Storytime Channel on
YouTube, the videos will air on Contra Costa Television’s public access channel.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contra Costa County Library will not be able to upload additional content on its Storytime Channel on
YouTube. The material will grow stale and children will eventually lose interest in the videos. Contra Costa
Television will not have new story time content to air on its public access channel.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Children Ready for and Succeeding in School: Offering Video Storytime to pre-school and elementary aged
children will help keep children engaged in learning and literacy by providing access to children whose
parents or caretakers may be too busy to come into a library building at a specific time or to children who
just want to hear more from their favorite storyteller.
Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood: The Video Storytime Project will
position and market the Library as the community’s early literacy center. Video story time will reinforce the
Library’s commitment to helping its youngest community members learn to read and will provide parents
and caretakers with a valuable resource in the promotion of early literacy skills.
Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families: The Video
Storytime Project will expand children’s programming beyond the library’s walls, so people who do not
have easy access to library buildings due to transportation issues, work schedules, or knowledge of library
services will have access to high-quality story time programs delivered by Contra Costa County Library
staff.

State funding number is CAPP 8010 / Amendment 1; the County number is 29-212-33.
67.7% ($2,053,454) of the funding is a Federal pass through with CFDA # 93.596 and 42.3% ($979,909) of
the funding is State funded. The federal funds are passed through the State, through the Department of
Education.
BACKGROUND:
The Alternative Payment childcare services program provides funding for program eligible families to
receive services. Priority is given to families who interface with Child Protective Services, families

Subject:Tolling Agreements with Verizon Wireless

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The wireless access permit application #WA17-0004 was filed with the County on October 18, 2017,
and the remainder of the wireless access permit applications were filed on October 19, 2017.
Under a ruling of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), a wireless service provider whose
application has been pending for a period of 90 days for collocation applications, and 150 days for all
other applications, is authorized to seek judicial review within 30 days on the basis that a state or local
permitting authority did not act on the application within "a reasonable time". (In Re: Petition for
Declaratory Ruling to Clarify Provisions of Section 332(c)(7)(B) to Ensure Timely Siting Review, Etc.,
FCC 09-99 (FCC November 18, 2009) (the "Ruling"), 45.) The Ruling also permits the period for a
local jurisdiction's review of an application to be extended by mutual consent. (Ruling, 49.)
The proposed tolling agreements would extend through November 30, 2018, the time for the Zoning
Administrator and the County Planning Commission to act on all of the applications. The proposed
tolling agreements would also prohibit Verizon Wireless from seeking a court order before November
30, 2018, that would direct the County to act on the applications. In addition, the proposed tolling
agreements would toll the time for Verizon Wireless to seek a court order alleging a violation of the
Permit Streamlining Act to after November 30, 2018.
This Board order also authorizes the Director of Conservation and Development, or designee, to execute
extensions of the above time period if necessary.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the tolling agreement is not approved, the Federal Communications Commission “shot clock”
requirements would require the County to act on the applications within the time prescribed by the FCC.

This Tolling Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of September 13, 2018, is made

California limited partnership dba Verizon Wireless (“Verizon Wireless”) and the County
of Contra Costa (“County”).
RECITALS
A. On October 18, 2017 and October 19, 2017, Verizon Wireless filed seven
applications with the County for permits to authorize Verizon Wireless to construct
wireless telecommunications facilities in the public right-of-way in Contra Costa County,
California: County Files WA17-0004 (near 3160 Walnut Boulevard), WA17-0005 (near
2372 Hagen Oaks Drive), WA17-0008 (near 20 Francesca Way), WA17-0009 (near 1951
Green Valley Road), WA17-0011 (near Vernal Drive and Livorna Road), WA17-0012
(near 2501 Danville Blvd) and WA17-0013 (near 184 Creekdale Road) (the
“Applications”). The County has determined that the Applications are complete.
B. On November 18, 2009, the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”)
released a Declaratory Ruling clarifying Section 332(c)(7) of the Communications Act.
See In Re: Petition for Declaratory Ruling to Clarify Provisions of Section 332(c)(7)(B)
to Ensure Timely Siting Review, Etc., FCC 09-99 (FCC November 18, 2009) (the
“Ruling”). The Ruling permits a wireless service provider whose application has been
pending for a period of 90 days for collocation applications, and 150 days for all other
applications, to seek judicial review within 30 days on the basis that a state or local
permitting authority failed to act on the application within “a reasonable time.” Ruling, ¶
45. The Ruling further permits the period for review of an application to be extended by
mutual consent. Ruling, ¶ 49.
C. In order to allow the County to act on the Verizon Wireless Applications in an
orderly manner, without either party risking the loss of important rights, the parties wish
to enter into a tolling agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. The parties agree that the time period within which the Zoning Administrator may
act on the Applications, and within which the Planning Commission may act on any
appeals, under both California and federal law, shall be extended through November 30,
2018, and that no limitations period under California or federal law for any claim by
Verizon Wireless of unreasonable or unlawful delay in processing the Applications shall
commence to run before November 30, 2018.
2. If the Zoning Administrator has not acted on the Applications, and if the Planning
Commission has not acted on any appeals of the Zoning Administrator’s determinations,
by November 30, 2018, this Agreement shall not be construed as an admission by the
County that such failure to act is unreasonable or unlawful, nor shall it be construed to
waive or otherwise impair the rights of Verizon Wireless with respect to any such claim.
In addition, this Agreement shall not be construed to waive any claims by the County

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Human Resources, or designee, to execute a contract with
Municipal Resource Group, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $99,000 to conduct workplace investigation
complaints of discrimination, harassment or other workplace misconduct for the period of September 1,
2018 through August 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs funded through charges to the operating departments that use the investigative services.
BACKGROUND:
From time to time, it is necessary for the County to engage a licensed private investigator to perform
impartial fact-finding services when faced with complaints of discrimination, harassment or workplace
misconduct by employees. Due to the sensitive nature of these types of claims, using an external
investigator greatly enhances the County's ability to respond and investigate in an expeditious and impartial
manner.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County departments will not have an impartial, independent, fact-finding
investigator to perform investigations on discrimination, harassment, or other workplace misconduct.

Pleasant Hill.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 450
BACKGROUND:
On February 9, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the Public Works Director, or
designee, to execute a contract with the Dahlin Group, Inc. (Dahlin), to provide real estate planning
services for the Oak Park sale of surplus properties.
The County has been in discussion with the City of Pleasant Hill and the Pleasant Hill Recreation and
Park District about the possible development of 1700 and 1750 Oak Park Boulevard. Changes in the
three agencies’ proposed projects have resulted in a change in the proposed location of a residential
subdivision. Due to those changes, a second contract with Dahlin is required for additional planning
services.
The previous contract with Dahlin expired on August 31, 2018. County Staff and consultants are
currently in the planning process and still require assistance from Dahlin.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Dahlin contract is not approved, County staff will not be able to move forward with planning
process, which would delay placing the property on the market.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract amendment
with Granicus, Inc., effective October 9, 2018, to increase the payment limit by $175,000, to a new payment
limit of $825,816, for continued hosting of the Citizen Document Access Solution and extend the contract
term from October 9, 2018 to October 8, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The increase of the payment limit includes annual maintenance, support charges, software charges and web
hosting fees (100% General Fund). The new annual charges for October 9, 2018 to October 8, 2021 reflect
a lower annual price of $9,708. This is due to the new and more efficient hardware and decommissioning of
old hardware and the subtraction of a module called Meeting Efficiency.

award agreement including modified indemnification with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District
in the amount of $198,616 for the Cleaner Contra Costa climate action platform, for the term October 9,
2018 through October 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The grant funds of $198,616 will be expended over two years. A portion of the grant funds will support the
Department of Conservation and Development's management of the project. The General Fund will be
positively impacted because the Sustainability Coordinator will be able to charge her time for this project
against the grant, rather than from the General Fund.

Conservation and Development, or designee, to apply for and accept a Climate Protection Grant from the
Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for the Cleaner Contra Costa program (Item C.

to encourage community participation. The platform will serve as a tool for public engagement and
behavior change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from individual households.
The County’s Climate Action Plan identifies as priorities educating County residents and providing
opportunities for them to take actions that support the Climate Action Plan. Identifying successful
strategies for influencing the millions of decisions that are made every day that have an impact on the
health of our community is an important and emerging area of focus for climate action.
On June 6, 2018, the BAAQMD approved the County’s grant application. Staff was notified of the
award on June 18, 2018 (see attached letter).
The grant funds will be utilized to implement the project through service agreements between the
County and the County's partners in this project: the cities of Antioch, San Pablo, and Walnut Creek;
Sustainable Contra Costa; Community Climate Solutions; and ecoAmerica.
The County will enter into agreements with several partners as we implement the Cleaner Contra Costa
project. The grant amounts and awards are as follows: City of Antioch - $6,604.32; City of San Pablo -
$9,849.03; City of Walnut Creek - $10,875.18; Sustainable Contra Costa - $93, 575.00; Community
Climate Solutions - $50,000; ecoAmerica - $5,000. The remaining funds will cover County staff time.
The grant award agreement requires the County to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BAAQMD
against any and all liabilities caused by, or connected with, the performance of this Agreement by the
County or its agents or subcontractors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve the recommended action, the County will forego the opportunity to accept
a $198,616 grant and to collaborate with cities and the community on a program to reduce greenhouse

thirty (30) days written notice to GRANTEE. The notice of termination shall specify the effective
date of termination, which shall be no less than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
delivery of the notice of termination, and shall be delivered in accordance with the provisions of
section 10 below. Immediately upon receipt of the notice of termination, GRANTEE shall cease

responsibilities and obligations hereunder. GRANTEE agrees to be as fully responsible to
DISTRICT for the acts and omissions of its contractors, subcontractors, and subgrantees and of
persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions
of persons directly employed by GRANTEE. GRANTEE's obligation to pay its contractors,

ATTACHMENT A
WORK PLAN
GRANTEE will implement a two-year pilot project to encourage and empower Contra Costa residents to
reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, based upon the “Go CO2 Free” online platform developed
by Community Climate Solutions (CCS). The project will focus on enlisting participation of residents in
the cities of Antioch, San Pablo, and Walnut Creek, as well as the unincorporated portions of Contra
Costa County. The platform will inform residents about effective actions they can take to reduce their
GHG emissions, and track their progress in reducing emissions. The project will be implemented in
partnership with the three target cities, as well as 511 Contra Costa, Sustainable Contra Costa, and other
non-profit and community groups. Robust outreach and engagement will be critical to the success of the
project.
The goal of the project is to achieve the participation of at least 4,500 households in the project during
the two-year period and to quantify the reduction in GHG emissions as a result of the actions taken by
residents who utilize the platform.
Task 1: Customize the Go CO2 Free platform for use in Contra Costa County
Task 1.1: Execute contract with Community Climate Solutions:
GRANTEE will enter into a contract with Community Climate Solutions to provide the Go CO2 Free
platform for use in Contra Costa County and to provide technical support for the platform (e.g., trouble-
shooting and responding to questions from GRANTEE) over the two-year term of the project.
Deliverable
1. Executed contract with Community Climate Solutions
Task 1.2: Create customized landing page and regional portals for Contra Costa County:
In collaboration with project partners, GRANTEE will develop a County CCS landing page and three
regional portals: East County / Central County / West County. The CCS platform will enable residents to
estimate their GHG footprint, and recommend actions that residents can take to reduce their GHG
emissions (related to energy use, transportation, food, water, etc.). With assistance from the cities of
Antioch (east county), San Pablo (west county), and Walnut Creek (central county), each of the regional
portals will be customized with local imagery and messaging, and will provide links to local resources
that residents can use to implement GHG-reductions actions. Information will be provided to address
both homeowners and renters. The landing page and the regional portals will be available in both
English and Spanish.
Deliverable
1. Fully-operational landing page for Contra Costa residents and three regional portals to serve the
eastern, central, and western portions of the county.

participation of their peers and residents in their communities in the Cleaner Contra Costa project.
Outreach to student and youth groups will focus on environmental clubs and other leadership groups in
10/9/18 BOS minutes 496
local high schools. Within the target areas (Antioch, San Pablo, Walnut Creek and unincorporated
portions of Contra Costa County), there are seven public high schools and three or more private or
charter high schools, which will be the focal points for project outreach efforts. Project staff will make
presentations to interested parties and groups, which may include school administrators, teachers,
students, and/or student clubs. Project staff will work with school personnel and other stakeholders to
establish start-up procedures and schedules and define the role that Cleaner Contra Costa will play in
supporting youth-led actions.
Deliverable
1. Cleaner Contra Costa Outreach Plan, in manual form, including sections that address topics such
as roles, responsibilities, and procedures

• Project-dedicated website(s)
• Constant Contact
• Booths at community events
• Brochures, fliers, and posters
• Advertisements
• Social media and blogs
• Community calendars
Deliverable
1. Outreach toolkit
Task 2.3: Media Campaign
GRANTEE will create and execute a media campaign to raise awareness of the Go CO2 Free platform.
The campaign will include press releases, and outreach to key media such as community and local
newspapers, local radio stations, and community and local television channels. Messages will be
tailored to engage specific audiences via outreach such as church, school or social group newsletters.
Brochures, press releases, and other project materials including landing pages on the websites will be
available in both English and Spanish. Residents who register on the platform will be contacted regularly
to celebrate successes, build momentum and encourage users to spread the word and invite, family,
friends and neighbors to participate.
Deliverable
1. Media products, including press releases, copies of media coverage, etc.
Task 2.4: Community Outreach
GRANTEE will identify student, youth, and civic groups that will engage their members, peers, and
neighbors to participate in the Go CO2 Free project. In Year 1 outreach will focus on identifying and
training student and youth groups to recruit peers and community members to utilize the platform, with
a goal of training 10 youth teams to perform outreach and engagement. In Year 2 outreach will expand
to include civic groups, business associations, and faith-based groups, with a goal of enlisting 20 youth
groups and 10 civic groups to perform outreach and engage members and residents.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONTINUE the emergency action originally taken by the Board of Supervisors on November 16, 1999
regarding the issue of homelessness in Contra Costa County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the provisions of
Government Code Section 8630 on homelessness in Contra Costa County.
Government Code Section 8630 requires that, for a body that meets weekly, the need to continue the
emergency declaration be reviewed at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated. In no
event is the review to take place more than 21 days after the previous review. On September 25, 2018, the
Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved the emergency declaration.
With the continuing high number of homeless individuals and insufficient funding available to assist in
sheltering all homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for the Board to continue the declaration
of a local emergency regarding homelessness.

Subject:General Plan Amendment Request for Bancroft Road Commercial Project
10/9/18 BOS minutes 501
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Conservation and Development has received a letter from Mr. Dan Briner of the
Briner Property Group proposing a GPA for the parcel located at 999 Bancroft Road in the Concord area
(see Attachment A). The subject parcel is designated MM on the General Plan Land Use Element Map
and zoned Controlled Manufacturing (C-M). Mr. Briner has proposed changing the General Plan land
use designation for the parcel from MM to CO to allow continued commercial use of the property after
the current tenant vacates the site in early 2019.
The subject parcel is located in a small, unincorporated pocket approximately three-quarters of a mile
north of the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART Station. The property is flat and occupied by a
commercial/light industrial building constructed in 1955. The property’s irregular shape is best described
as a trapezium. It is surrounded by multiple-family residences to the north/northeast and southeast,
single-family residences to the east, another commercial/light industrial building to the south, and the
Iron Horse Trail to the west. Beyond the Iron Horse Trail are additional commercial/light industrial
buildings. Attachments B and C, respectively, are a map showing the existing and proposed General
Plan land use designations and an aerial photo of the site and its surroundings.
The proposed GPA warrants the County’s consideration. The site has been continuously developed and
operated as a commercial property since the 1950s. The site was designated “Light Industry” in the
General Plan until at least 1983 and was likely changed to MM with adoption of the 1990-2005 General
Plan in January 1991. However, subsequent to the redesignation to MM, soil and groundwater
contamination was discovered emanating from industrial properties to the west. Monitoring and
remediation of the contamination continues, making the subject property’s suitability for residential
development questionable at best. Staff therefore recommends authorization to proceed with the GPA
process. Staff emphasizes, however, that authorization to proceed with the GPA process does not imply
the Board's support or endorsement for the application to amend the General Plan, but only that this
matter is appropriate for further consideration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not authorize initiation of the GPA process, then an application to amend the General
Plan cannot be filed and the subject site will retain its MM land use designation.

In the event the Board does not accept the grant deed of development rights, the approximately
1.58-acre portion designated for residential will not be restricted by a grant deed of development rights,
and the applicant would not be able to comply with Condition of Approval #31 and obtain a building
permit to construct the self-storage facility.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This application is a request for approval of a grant deed of development rights to the County. the
proposed project will not affect children's programs in the County.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
REFER the issue of banning gun shows at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds and a review of regulations
governing the purchase and sale of guns at gun shows to the Public Protection Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fairgrounds are owned and operated by the 23rd District Agricultural
Association. The 23rd District is a “state institution” under section 3953 of the Food and Agricultural Code.
Because the Fairgrounds are owned and operated by a state institution, the County is not authorized to
prohibit gun shows held on state property. A few other counties have banned gun shows at county
fairgrounds, but these bans have been at fairgrounds owned by counties themselves, rather than by the state.
There was local interest in eliminating gun shows at the Cow Palace (which occurred 5 times annually
according to media reports). The Cow Palace is owned by Agricultural District 1-A, also a state institution.
That effort resulted in the need for special legislation to be carried

by Senator Scott Weiner and Assemblymember Phil Ting to disallow gun shows on the Cow Palace
property. The bill was signed into law by the Governor earlier this month. Attached is a copy of the bill
(SB 221).
This referral to the Public Protection Committee will assist with facilitating a public discussion as to
whether or not Contra Costa should similarly pursue an effort to disallow gun shows at the state-owned
County Fairgrounds property, which happens to be located directly across the street from Antioch High
School and is in the vicinity of several other school and a Headstart facility (see attached map). This
referral also seeks to determine whether facilitating gun shows on public property is an appropriate
message to be sending as the nation continues to grapple with mass shootings, which seem to have
become more commonplace in our society. Specifically, rules and regulations governing the purchase
and sale of guns at these shows are different than those governing similar transactions at brick and
mortar gun dealer storefronts.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The referral will not be made to the Public Protection Committee.

Services Department addressing various mental health service issues and concerns raised by the Family and
Human Services Committee, the Board of Supervisors, the Mental Health Commission’s White Paper, the
Civil Grand Jury, and members of the public. These issues and concerns centered upon the difficulty in
accessing mental health care, particularly for children and youth experiencing serious emotional
disturbances. Indicative to this lack of access was the 1) increase in Psychiatric Emergency Services visits,
2) long wait times to access care, and 3) shortage of clinical staff, especially psychiatrists. The Health
Services Department report addressed these issues and concerns, and reported upon the initiatives and
progress made to date.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Family and Human Services Committee asked the Department to provide an update to the Mental
Health Commission in six months, and to the Family and Human Services Committee thereafter.
The Health Services Department has complied by meeting with the Mental Health Commission
regarding these issues on several occasions in 2018. The attached report, which was presented to our
Committee on September 24, 2018, summarizes the most current update, and articulates a partnership
plan between the Department and the Commission to work together going forward to resolve these
issues. Behavioral Health Services Director Matthew White and Mental Health Commission Chair
Barbara Serwin presented the jointly prepared report. Dr. White reported the addition of psychiatrist
staff. Ms. Serwin acknowledged improved relations between Behavioral Health and the Commission,
citing reforms including development of an information dashboard and proactive data reporting, regular
leadership meetings, and collaborative problem solving, particularly on the issue of wait times. She
mentioned an upcoming retreat as an example of this positive collaboration.

Contra Costa County Mental Health Commission
Response to Behavioral Health Services Update to
Grand Jury Report No. 1703 and Referrals 115 and 116
October 30th, 2017
This document is a response from the Mental Health Commission to the update by
Behavioral Health Services to the Board of Supervisors Family and Human Services
Committee regarding the Grand Jury Report No. 1703 and the White Paper published in
March, 2016.
The process of updating the Family and Human Services Committee has been collaborative
and fruitful. Over the past year, Behavioral Health has been working to address key
challenges identified in the White Paper and more recently by the Grand Jury Report 1703.
Over the past month and a half, the Commission and Behavioral Health have worked
together to identify key improvements as well as ongoing challenges. This has involved a
great deal of research, information exchange , and problem solving, and the development of
a shared vision of how problem resolution can move forward in a positive direction. The
process has resulted in the Behavioral Health Update and the ensuing Commission
Response.
The Commission thanks the Board of Supervisors for giving serious consideration to the
Grand Jury and Commission co ncerns and encouraging open discussions and collaboration.
Thanks also to Behavioral Health for working so diligently to make strong headway and for
the information sharing and frank discussions that have enabled us to air our differences of
opinion and find common ground. We are grateful as well to Psyche Emergency Services for
updating us on its current operations and challenges.
The remainder of this document consists of a Commission review of progress, questions,
and suggested follow-up by the Commission and Board of Supervisors.
Upgrading the Current West County Children’s Clinic Facility
The Commission recognizes that Behavioral Health is working diligently to improve the
West County Children’s Clinic, bringing together the necessary resources to make critical
improvements as quickly as possible. The Commission is glad that the carpet will be
replaced given its poor condition and the indeterminate lump underneath it. There were
initial concerns that the carpet was installed over asbestos and therefore could not be
replaced.
Recommended Follow Up:
Visit the clinic in two months to review progress.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 628
Mental Health Commission Response to Behavioral Health Services Update, 10/30/17 2
Acquiring a New Location for First Hope
The Commission recognizes the strong effort that is being made to relocate First Hope and
its First-Episode Psychosis Program to a financially sustainable and appropriately designed
facility.
Addressing the Shortage of Psychiatrists
The Commission believes that true prevention and early intervention start with hiring top-
notch psychiatrists. Maintaining effective staffing levels and a building a team-like
environment are also critical.
Behavioral Health has made significant progress in:
clarifying the number of approved FTE positions and the number of filled positions and
unfilled positions;
and improving recruiting efforts by contracting with four staffing agencies for the hiring
of contract psychiatrists, including Traditions, the agency that it has most recently
contracted with.
Behavioral Health has long recognized that a key factor in its challenge in hiring is its
inability to offer competitive compensation packages. Since most of the psychiatric staff is
contracted, focusing attention on the rates and benefits of contract employees is
particularly important. The Commission hopes that the more competitive compensation
offered by the staffing agency Traditions will help attract candidates. The use of MHSA
funds for student loan reimbursement should also be attractive.
Behavioral Health recognizes the importance of contracting with psychiatrists who are
willing to work at least three days a week to maintain treatment continuity, simplify
staffing planning, and support a team-oriented approach to care. Behavioral Health reports
that it has discussed this need with its staffing agencies but, like other counties, is
hampered by the regional- and nation-wide lack of child psychiatrists.
Questions:
Behavioral Health states that it will consider whether an assessment will be made once
current vacancies are filled. How will this determination be made? What kind of
staffing assessment would potentially be made?
Are MHSA student loan payment funds being fully utilized?
Is there the possibility of incenting contracting psychiatrists to work a minimum of
three days per week or more by a) offering a bonus for working 24 hours plus; or
increasing their hourly fee for every hour worked over 24 hours?
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Revisit the status of hiring in four months to see how hiring is progressing for unfilled
psychiatry positions;
Regularly review a Behavioral Health report on the status of all psychiatry and mental
health clinician positions, including newly or soon to-be-vacated positions;
10/9/18 BOS minutes 629
Mental Health Commission Response to Behavioral Health Services Update, 10/30/17 3
Explore ways to incentivize contracting physicians to work a minimum of 24 hours per
week;
Annually review a report on the MHSA school loan payment program for psychiatrists
to see how this program is being utilized.
Filling the Vacant Position of Medical Director
The Commission recognizes the challenges in filling the all-important Medical Director
position. However, this process has been underway for two years now. Although a
candidate was recently interviewed, the next interview is not scheduled until December,
2017. The Commission hopes that Behavioral Health can re-double its efforts to recruit and
make timely, strong offers to qualified candidates over the next two months.
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Review recruiting and hiring strategies to ensure they are as effective as possible.
Revisit the hiring status of the Medical Director in two months.
Legacy Planning for High Level Positions
The issue of legacy planning within Behavioral Health has been raised by EQRO. In
discussing the challenges around hiring a Medical Director position, the Commission
learned that county hiring practices do not permit a Department to interview and fill a
position until the incumbent has actually vacated the position. This is the case even if the
retirement or departure is planned. The Commission is very concerned that this practice
eliminates the ability to mentor and pass on institutional knowledge is lost. This in turn
disrupts administration and services and, ultimately, continuity and quality of care. This
practice will impact the management of the Children’s Division when the Director of the
Division, Vern Wallace, retires this coming year after decades of holding the position. The
Commission urges the Board of Supervisors to find a solution to the legacy problem.
Relief to Impacted Psyche Emergency Services (PES):
PES Internal Adjustments
The Commission recognizes how fortunate the county is to have a PES co-located with
medical facilities where a true medical evaluation can happen. The Commission lauds the
ongoing efforts of PES to find ways to manage an impacted environment with an increasing
number of 5150 clients and a decrease in the number of voluntary clients.
Since the White Paper was published, it seems that PES’s main strategies for managing the
new norm of an average 900 patients per month – still considerably higher than originally
intended – has been to hire additional staff for the morning shift to expedite re-evaluation
of overnight clients and to slightly reduce the average length of stay. This solution, plus a
more stable daily census has resulted in a situation that is “mostly manageable ”, with the
current staffing pattern seen as “minimally acceptable.”
10/9/18 BOS minutes 630
Mental Health Commission Response to Behavioral Health Services Update, 10/30/17 4
The Commission reads this situation either as 1) an increase in efficiency or 2) as a
somewhat tenuous situation that is consistently stressful for staff, often leading to burn-out
and turn-over, and that may decrease the amount of time that a consumer receives care.
Lastly, is there the time and staff to follow up on whether the consumer is following the
prescribed treatment? The Commission cannot be certain from the Update.
Questions:
Is the current strategy viable long-term or do we need to commit to increasing staffing
levels, potentially including psychiatrists, to reduce stress on staff and consumers and
to enhance quality of care? How would the need for additional staff be evaluated?
How has a decrease in the average length of stay has been achieved? Is it an increase in
the number of staff in the morning or are we relying on quick turnarounds?
Does this mean reduced time for a proper evaluation, adequate treatment and/or
disposition?
Has the experience of being a client at PES improved and have outcomes improved?
Will the new electronic health record system provide the ability to follow the
disposition of where PES patients receive their follow up and treatment?
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Revisit staffing needs in six months
Request clarifications on the amount of time for evaluation, stabilization, dispensation
and opinions on how these metrics are impacting the consumer experience and quality
of care.
Request information on the capabilities of the Electronic Health Records to support the
PES function of tracking patient post-PES treatment.
Relief to Impacted Psyche Emergency Services (PES):
Addressing Children’s Needs for the Facility
The Commission fully agrees with the facility design changes that are required to separate
children from adult clients and to improve the waiting, family consultation and treatment
spaces for children. The Commission urges the Superintendents to support changes
recommended by the Hospital and Clinics Unit for these high priority improvements.
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Request proposals from the Hospital and Clinics Unit for redesigning the children’s area
of PES.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 631
Mental Health Commission Response to Behavioral Health Services Update, 10/30/17 5
Relief to Impacted Psyche Emergency Services (PES):
Expanded Mobile Relief Services
The expansion in mobile relief services is intended to decrease pressure on PES. The
Commission is glad to see the increase in the hours of coverage of the Children’s Mobile
Crisis Response and the planned introduction of this service for the Adult System of Care.
Also significant is the Adult program’s coordination with the Forensic Mental Health
Evaluation Team (MHET) and the three county police departments where MHET is located.
Questions:
How will the impact of the Children and Adult Mobile Crisis Response on PES
congestion be evaluated?
What are the numbers related to the Children’s Mobile Crisis Response, e.g. number of
visits per month, number of diversions from PES? What are the projected numbers for
the Adult service?
How aware are all 23 law enforcement agencies of the three MHET teams?
How will the 20 county law enforcement agencies outside the three that host MHETs
activate a request for the adult mobile response team? How else will they interface?
Forensics is open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. How will it interact with MHET when the teams
will be used most frequently between 3:00 PM and 11:00 PM?
Unclear Staffing Needs of the Children’s Division
The Behavioral Health update notes that the Children’s Division staffing levels may not
fully meet the needs of its several mandates and programs. The Division lost 40 line staff
positions in 2008, and while several staff have been restored to respond to Katie A and
Continuum of Care, Behavioral Health states that staffing levels are still slightly below the
pre-2008 levels, despite the Affordable Care Act. Behavioral Health also reports that
additional clinical and Family Partner staff are needed in the regional clinics. The
Commission would like clarification to better understand what the Division’s needs are.
With the impending retirement of the Director of the Children’s Division, Vern Wallace, the
need for an adequate level of well-trained staff is essential.
Questions:
What is the estimated number of Children’s Division staff needed, by position?
Improvements to Family Support Services
Fully staffed Family Support services may have the impact of diverting consumers from
PES. Family Partner positions in the Children’s and Adult clinics that were empty, s ome for
multiple years, are now filled. This is a critical step forward.
With the new MHSA NAMI Program for Family Support through family volunteers, Family
Support Services is now comprised of three groups – the other two are 1) the Office of
Consumer Empowerment with its 20 peer staff Family and Community Support Workers
10/9/18 BOS minutes 632
Mental Health Commission Response to Behavioral Health Services Update, 10/30/17 6
and 2) the Family Coordinators. The key to success will be coordinating them to ensure
efficient and effective deployment of the appropriate services.
Lastly, there are important family support programs being driven by volunteers. Dave
Kahler, a Commissioner Emeritus, coordinates the CIT Training. He also has set up and
runs the NAMI Crash Course, which has been seen over 1,000 family members in the past
year. More direct involvement by Behavioral Health staff is needed in these crucial areas.
Questions:
Does each of the adult clinics have a family advocate?
How will the family advocates and coordinators interface with the new NAMI MHSA
program?
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Request a plan for coordinating and interfacing the three different family support
services from Behavioral Health.
Determination of Wait Times at Clinics
The Grand Jury expressed a deep concerned regarding wait times at the Children’s clinics,
as did the White Paper . The White Paper also expressed concerns regarding the Adult clinic
wait times. What the Commission hears from the community on wait times differs
significantly from Behavioral Health’s numbers. EQRO 2016 has also questioned the
Behavioral Health numbers and has stated that Behavioral Health’s technique for
calculating wait times is an estimate. It will be months until the impact of more
psychiatrists on wait times will be known as it will take time for them to fully ramp up at
the clinics.
The Commission and Behavioral Health do agree, however, that the new Behavioral Health
information system should provide accurate data on how long it takes a patient to be
initially assessed, receive non-medication treatment, and be assessed by a psychiatrist and
receive medication treatment if warranted.
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Revisit wait times as part of the 2017 External Quality Review process.
Confer with information systems to ensure that the ability to accurately track wait
times is being properly implemented.
Request wait times as tracked by the new information system once the system has been
up and running for four to six months.
Reduction of Wait Times for CBO and Private Therapist Appointments
The Grand Jury was very concerned about the availability of network providers for children
who need to access treatment for moderate to severe mental illness. The Commission
commends the new Access Line team for reducing abandoned calls from 15% to 2%.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 633
Mental Health Commission Response to Behavioral Health Services Update, 10/30/17 7
Access Line data, however, does support the Grand Jury’s concern, demonstrating that, in
fact, that the five providers in East County are not able to meet demand.
Questions:
How will the need for additional treatment providers for Children in East County be
determined? Can Access Line data help estimate the number of needed providers?
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Request a plan for determining the need for additional providers in East County and for
acquiring the necessary number of providers.
The Continued Need for a Children’s Residential Treatment Center
The Commission has advocated for a children’s residential treatment center for the past
two years on the behalf of the Children’s Division. While creating a unit at the Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center does not appear to be financially viable, the Commission continues
to strongly support the Children’s Division’s efforts to find a workable solution for a
treatment center. In particular, the Commission encourages more exploration into creating
a regional solution of multiple surrounding counties participating in a pool of beds, thereby
sharing costs and decreasing the risk of any one treatment center having to cover the cost
of an unfilled bed. The Commission urges the Board of Supervisors to explore a regional
solution to this critical problem.
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Brainstorm a high level concept for a multi-county program for a children’s residential
treatment center. Present this concept to likely partners
The Need for Housing for Those With a Serious Mental Illness
The critical issue of housing for the Homeless with a Serious Mental Illness was a key issue
raised by the White Paper. This concern was not addressed in the Behavioral Health
Services update.
Supportive Services such as keeping an apartment clean and eating properly ---these are
services that the Regional Center provides those with a Developmental Disability —but
these are not provided for those with a Serious Mental Illness. Non-Profit Housing
Corporations must be involved on a larger scale to help develop a housing plan for those
with a Serious Mental Illness.
Questions:
How many clients of our Specialty Mental Health Clinics live in Non-Profit Housing
Corporation developments such as Riverhouse? There were Behavioral Health ties
directly into these facilities —what is happening now?
What is done to assure that people with a mental illness are not just left on their own?
10/9/18 BOS minutes 634
Mental Health Commission Response to Behavioral Health Services Update, 10/30/17 8
How many Full Service Partnership clients are housed in unregulated Room and
Boards?
What are the plans to house the Homeless with a mental illness? Do we have a
measurable plan?
Follow-up/Suggestions:
Request a comprehensive plan for housing the Seriously Mentally Ill.
In closing, the Mental Health Commission hopes that its evaluations, questions and
recommended follow up are received as intended – in the spirit of partnership and to
stimulate ongoing dialog around the continuous improvement of our county’s System of
Care for those suffering from mental illness.

Contra Costa County Grand Jury Report 1703
Mental Health Services for At-Risk Children in Contra
Costa County
TO: County Board of Supervisors, Behavioral Health Services
SUMMARY
The Grand Jury conducted a detailed investigation concerning the County’s delivery of
mental health services to at-risk children (“At-Risk Children”), which is defined as foster
children or those in danger of becoming foster children, Commercial Sexually Exploited
Children victims (CSEC), youth detained in Juvenile Hall, and children in domestic
violence or sexual abuse situations. Over the course of a seven-month investigation, the
Grand Jury found that at-risk children are not receiving timely access to mental health
treatment. Several factors were preventing timely access, all of which are within the
control of Behavioral Health Services and its subdivision Children’s Mental Health
Services. The Board of Supervisors should consider identifying funds to provide timely
treatment for children.
METHODOLOGY
The Grand Jury researched the statutes, agreements and regulations on mental health
services for children that pertain to the County. It also researched official reports from
State and County agencies, and conducted numerous interviews with County personnel
who are involved in the delivery of mental health services.
BACKGROUND
This Grand Jury conducted a detailed investigation of mental health services for at-risk
children in Contra Costa County. For purposes of this investigation, the Grand Jury
defined at-risk children as:
• Foster children or those in danger of becoming foster children
• Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) victims
• Youth detained in Juvenile Hall
• Children who have experienced domestic violence and sexual abuse.

The Mental Health Commission White Paper
The Mental Health Commission (MHC), an advisory body appointed by the Board of
Supervisors to serve as the watchdog group in the County for mental health services,
issued a white paper in April 2016 “to encourage discussion around the current crisis in
the county public mental health care system and deficits in the county mental health
budget process that contribute to this crisis.”
While the white paper was issued by MHC, Behavioral Health Services (BHS) assisted
MHC with the data and the contents of the paper. The paper describes key points that
are pertinent to at-risk children:
“The wake-up call of the crisis at Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) that points to
an impacted system that is unable to provide the right treatment at the right moment in
time and is therefore struggling to truly meet the needs of people with a serious mental
illness,”
“The compromised ability of… Child/Adolescent Clinics to meet the needs of patients
due to understaffing as evidenced by three to four months wait times and a migration of
patients to PES for intervention that is not meant to be a stand-in for treatment,”
“The underlying theme of inadequate staffing levels due to the inability of treatment
facilities to attract and keep high quality psychiatrists and nurses because of
uncompetitive compensation and such practices as closing of lists,”
“The underlying theme of dedicated, quality staff struggling to offer excellent care but
undercut by budgets that are generated by a formulaic, top down process rather than a
process that builds up a budget from program needs.”
The Katie A. Requirements
In delivering mental health services, the County must comply with the terms of the Katie
A. requirements. Katie A. was the lead plaintiff in a multiple-plaintiff lawsuit filed against
Los Angeles County and the State of California in 2002. The lawsuit alleged that
significant gaps existed in mental health services provided to children in the foster care
system. By the age of 14, Katie A. had been shuffled through 37 foster homes and had
endured 19 confinements in psychiatric hospitals.
Los Angeles County settled with the plaintiffs in 2003. The State of California agreed to
the following Katie A. child definition and mental health service requirements in 2011:
Children who are in or at risk of entering foster care will be identified as the “Katie A.
subclass.” A child will be part of the subclass if wraparound or specialized services are
being considered for the child, or the child has been hospitalized three times in the past
24 months for behavioral reasons or is currently hospitalized for a behavioral issue.

Pursuant to this agreement, California counties must adhere to a protocol, called a “core
practice model,” for screening and treating foster children. In accordance with this
protocol, children may be eligible for the following services:
• Intensive Care Coordination (ICC)
• Intensive Home-Based Services (IHBS)
• Therapeutic Foster Care in specially-trained foster homes.
The County hired several coordinators and appointed a Katie A. specialist manager to
handle the new protocol.
DISCUSSION
The Grand Jury used the new Katie A. requirements and the MHC white paper as
starting points to investigate Contra Costa County’s delivery of mental health services to
at-risk children.
Youth confined in Juvenile Hall receive a consistent and well-regulated package of
children’s mental health services from the County since these children are in a
controlled confinement. Of the 110 youth currently at the Hall (some of whom are CSEC
victims), 30% have been identified as having mental health problems. BHS has
assigned three County clinicians and a program manager to work exclusively at the Hall
to provide treatment, which involves medication and therapy. All three therapists are
grant-funded, and the grants require regular data reports on the outcome of the
treatments.
CSEC victims and children in domestic violence and sexual abuse situations are
sometimes discovered by police responding to a complaint. The police refer the children
to the Victim Advocates in the District Attorney’s Office. After securing the child in a safe
environment, the advocate arranges for the child to receive therapy so that the child can
better assist in the legal prosecution of their abusers. BHS is not usually involved in this
process. Rather, the Victim Advocate arranges for the victim to receive treatment from a
private therapist or psychiatrist. This treatment is funded by the State Victim
Compensation Fund and continues for the months or years that the victim needs to
recover. Despite receiving mental-health treatment, some CSEC victims are reluctant to
testify against their pimp abusers.
An estimated 85-90% of foster children need some form of mental health services.
Given this statistic, it is not surprising that a significant component of the estimated
7,000-plus children in the County who are serviced for mental health annually are foster
children, estimated at over 1,700, or those who are in danger of becoming foster
children. Only 300 of these children currently belong to the “Katie A. subclass.” The
County’s compliance in the Katie A. requirements is a work in progress. Satisfactory

compliance depends upon skilled coordination between the social workers in Children
and Family Services (CFS) and the clinicians at BHS.
Children who may need mental health services are generally assessed and evaluated
within 7-10 days. However, children wait much longer, weeks or months, to receive
treatment.
After assessment and evaluation, the social workers at CFS arrange for treatment for
the child client through the BHS liaisons. The liaisons provide the social workers and
child guardians with three referrals of available psychiatrists or therapists from their
database. The social workers or guardians call these mental health professionals to
schedule treatment. Oftentimes, the social workers or guardians find that the three
referrals they have been given by the BHS liaisons are not available. Then they must
go back to the liaisons to arrange for another set of three referrals. This is the cause of
many delays. The CFS social workers state that the child has an average waiting time
for treatment of three months and the BHS liaisons state that the average is only 4 to 6
weeks. These two sets of County workers are working from different perspectives and
from different calendar counts. The BHS liaisons also state that they do not have an
updated list of unavailable psychiatrists or therapists.
After the screening and evaluation phase, each of the 7,000-plus children are classified
into two groups:
1. Medium to severe
2. Mild to medium
The mild to medium cases are scheduled for appointments with psychiatrists and
therapists in non-profit community-based organizations (CBOs) and private therapists
contracted by BHS. The medium to severe cases are scheduled for appointments with
the psychiatrists and therapists in the County’s three regional mental health clinics.
There are several factors that prevent children from accessing mental health services in
a timely manner. These factors differ depending on whether the child is classified as
medium to severe, or mild to medium.
Medium to Severe Cases
The three mental health clinics are understaffed in terms of psychiatrists, the doctors
who diagnose the children and prescribe medication for them when appropriate.
Children’s Mental Health Services estimates it needs to hire six more psychiatrists to
handle the workload and resolve the inequitable distribution among the regional clinics.
The County pays $30-50,000 less than what psychiatrists can earn in private practice.
Table 1 shows the distribution of the medium to severe cases assigned to the three
clinics and the corresponding distribution of psychiatrists in those three clinics.

As shown on Table 2, the distribution of 85 County therapists across the three clinics is
inequitable relative to the distribution of medium to severe mental cases.

Children 630 740 800 2170
Therapists 22 47 16 85
Ratio 28.6 15.7 50 25.5
The normal management response to such uneven distribution is to reallocate some
therapists from Concord, to Antioch and to West County. The Grand Jury found no
evidence that any such plan is being considered.
Mild to Medium Cases
BHS contracts with 34 non-profit Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to treat the
estimated 5,000 children considered mild to medium cases. Twenty percent of these 34
CBOs were at capacity as of February 2017, meaning that seven of the CBOs had no
appointment availability. The BHS liaisons, who provide the appointment referrals for
the guardians/patients, do not have current data on the clinicians’ availability. Thus,
social workers or guardians call to CBOs that have no availability, causing delays in the
children’s treatment.
In addition to providing mental health treatment through CBOs, BHS can assign the
5,000 children who are diagnosed as mild to medium cases to the over 200 individual
private therapists that it contracts with. Like CBOs, these private therapists have limited
availability. Table 3 shows the availability of those private therapists in February 2017
and their distribution in the three regions.

Overall, 68% of the private therapists were not available for appointments. Thus,
children must wait longer for mental health services.
While no-shows for appointments also contribute to longer wait times, this factor is not
under the control of BHS. The tables show what is within the control of BHS and its
subdivision that manages treatment delays for at-risk children.
FINDINGS
F1. The County provides timely and consistent mental health services to detained
youth in Juvenile Hall, CSEC victims, and children in domestic violence and sexual
abuse situations.

"Mental Health Services for At-Risk Children in Contra Costa County”
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ RESPONSE
FINDINGS – California Penal Code Section 933.05(a) requires a response to the designated findings
of the Grand Jury.
F1. The County provides timely and consistent mental health services to detained youth
in Juvenile Hall, CSEC victims, and children in domestic violence and sexual abuse
situations.
Response: The respondent agrees with the finding. The County’s Probation and Health
Services departments work collaboratively to provide a high level of Mental Health services to
the youth in the Juvenile Justice system including Juvenile Hall and the Orin Allen Youth
Facility.
F2. Under the terms of the Katie A. requirements, upper and middle management levels
of CFS and BHS have started to coordinate their efforts.
Response: The respondent disagrees wholly with the finding. Since about 1996, the
Behavioral Health Division and Child and Family Services Bureau have collaborated on
children’s mental health services in a comprehensive way. Katie A. and the implementation of
Continuum of Care Reform have contributed to a more coordinated relationship since Health
Services and Employment and Human Services department staff meet on a weekly basis and
often meet more than once a week.
F3. Many at-risk children are not receiving mental health treatment for several weeks
to several months after the County assesses their mental-health needs.
Response: The respondent disagrees partially with the finding. Children presenting at the
Regional Clinics are seen on average within eleven to sixteen days for their first appointment
with a Mental Health Clinical Specialist that provides comprehensive assessment and treatment.
The County recognizes challenges with the availability of child psychiatrists and delays may
occur with the medical treatment and medication support of the child.
F4. Children’s Mental Health Services estimates that the County needs an additional six
psychiatrists for its three clinics.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 644
Response: The respondent disagrees partially with the finding. The County recognizes a need
for additional psychiatrists to eliminate long waits for Psychiatry and to adequately staff our
clinics. While the County is working to fill vacant psychiatrist positions, psychiatrist contractors
are working at the clinics to support psychiatry services. The County will be looking at
psychiatrist staffing to determine the number of additional psychiatrists needed for its three
clinics.
F5. County salaries for psychiatrists are not competitive with private practice.
Response: The respondent agrees with the finding. In general, private sector practices offer
more competitive salaries than public agencies.
F6. The shortage of psychiatrists causes delays in the diagnosis and treatment of
medium to severely mentally ill children.
Response: The respondent disagrees partially with the finding. Shortage of psychiatrists may
delay the medical treatment and medication support of the child. However, children are
assessed and diagnosed to be seen for outpatient therapy by a Mental Health Clinical Specialist
within eleven to sixteen days on average.
F7. West County clinic, which has the most medium to severe patients, also has the
highest patient to therapist ratio.
Response: The respondent disagrees wholly with the finding. The number of children and ratios
cited in table 1 of this grand jury report are inaccurate. The numbers stated by the grand jury
are the total number of clients that are provided Utilization Review Services by that County
Clinic in each region. The actual number of open children cases (County staff serviced) are 430
in Antioch, 435 in Concord, and 305 in West County for a total of 1,095.
Table A below provides more accurate figures of patient to therapist ratios, which shows
caseloads are balanced across the clinics.
TABLE A:
Antioch Concord West County Total

Therapists* 15 16 12 43
Ratio 28.6:1 27.2:1 25.4:1 25.5:1
*Therapists include both psychiatrists and mental health clinical specialists.
F8. The 85 County Clinical Staff, who treat medium to severely mentally ill children,
are not equitably distributed among the three clinics based on workload.
Response: The respondent disagrees wholly with the finding. Assignment of therapists across
the County’s regions is balanced as demonstrated in Table A of response F7. In addition to the
therapist staff assigned to the clinics as stated in Table A of response F7, each clinic has an
equitable distribution of Family Partners, Family Support Workers, etc. that also work as a team
10/9/18 BOS minutes 645
to provide therapeutic intervention and stability to the families. In total, the County staffs
approximately 95 clinical treatment staff, which includes psychiatrists, Mental Health Clinical
Specialists, Mental Health Community Support Workers, and Mental Health Specialist IIs.
F9. Twenty percent of the CBOs and 68% of the individual private therapists are not
available for appointments.
Response: The respondent disagrees wholly with the finding. Only CBOs and Network
Providers that are available for appointments are referred. In order for individual private
therapists and CBO’s to maintain availability for referrals, they must have appointments
available within ten (10) days.
The Access Unit is staffed by licensed clinicians who screen callers to determine clinical acuity
in order to make a referral. The Access Unit uses an acuity screening tool to determine a
patient’s functional impairment. The screening tool also indicates level of care options for
referrals. Patients with mild-moderate impairments are either referred back to their primary care
providers referred to a mental health clinician who works at a primary care health center, or to
the contracted network of providers. Those who have mild-moderate functional impairments with
private insurance such as Kaiser or Blue Cross are referred back to their managed care health
plans. Patients who have moderate-severe impairments are referred to Community Based
Organizations or the County Regional Mental Health Clinics.
F10. BHS liaisons are not provided with current information about the availability of
CBOs and private therapists for appointments.
Response: The respondent disagrees wholly with the finding. Liaisons operate with the most
recent information available, as provided by surveys to private therapists and the expectation
that CBOs notify liaisons of any availability changes. Behavioral Health liaisons follow the same
protocol as Mental Health Access by providing three potential clinician referrals to each
beneficiary. The County is not aware of issues with CBO’s and private therapist’s lack of
availability and this is a process that is reviewed annually by the state.
RECOMMENDATIONS - California Penal Code Section 933.05(b) requires a response to the
designated recommendations of the Grand Jury.
R1. The Board of Supervisors should consider identifying funds to add six
psychiatrists at the three regional mental health clinics.
Response: The recommendation requires further analysis. There are currently three funded
psychiatrist positions that are vacant and the County is working to fill. Once those positions are
filled, the County will continue assessing staffing needs and determine the number of additional
positions needed. Furthermore, the County is currently in negotiations with Physicians’ and
Dentists’ Organization of Contra Costa, which includes a review of benefits and wages for all
represented classifications, including psychiatrists. Once an agreement is reached, more
accurate salary and benefits figures will be available to identify the amount of funding needed
for any additional positions.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 646
R2. The Board of Supervisors should consider directing Human Resources to review
the compensation packages for County psychiatrists to ensure their compensation
packages are competitive compared to the private market.
Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not reasonable. The
County is currently in negotiations with Physicians’ and Dentists’ Organization of Contra Costa;
therefore, a review of benefits and wages for all represented classifications, including
psychiatrists, is underway. The County cannot compete with the private market; therefore,
comparing County compensation packages with other counties establishes more reasonable
benchmarks. The issue of the County’s psychiatrist compensation packages is being
addressed and will be known after negotiations are complete.
R3. The Board of Supervisors should consider directing BHS to redeploy therapists with
a view to a more equitable ratio of children per therapist among the County’s three
mental health clinics.
Response: The recommendation has been implemented. Clinical staff are fairly and evenly
distributed across the regional clinics with equitable ratios of children per therapist. Table A,
included in the response to F7 shows the equitable distribution of psychiatrists across the
County clinics. Our goal is to continue to deploy therapists with consideration to equity and the
number of consumers presenting at the clinics for services.
R4. The Board of Supervisors should consider identifying funds to enable BHS to review
and improve systems related to the real time availability of CBOs and individual private
therapists for mental health service appointments.
Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not reasonable. The
County is not aware of the existence of a real time tool to support the recommended effort.
However, the County has processes in place to maintain current information on the availability
of CBOs and individual private therapists. The Access Line regularly conducts test calls to
CBOs and private therapists to ensure appointments are available. No referral is made to a
CBO or private therapist unless they have an appointment available in the next ten (10) days.
R5. The Board of Supervisors should consider directing BHS to monitor and report on
the wait times for mental health treatment for at-risk children.
Response: The recommendation has been implemented. The Behavioral Health Division is
required by regulation to monitor and report on the timeliness of mental health treatment for at-
risk youth. During the last annual review, which was conducted in February of this year, the
following data was presented to the External Quality Review Organization (State audit team):

Contra Costa County Grand Jury Report 1703
Mental Health Services for At-Risk Children in Contra
Costa County
TO: County Board of Supervisors, Behavioral Health Services
SUMMARY
The Grand Jury conducted a detailed investigation concerning the County’s delivery of
mental health services to at-risk children (“At-Risk Children”), which is defined as foster
children or those in danger of becoming foster children, Commercial Sexually Exploited
Children victims (CSEC), youth detained in Juvenile Hall, and children in domestic
violence or sexual abuse situations. Over the course of a seven-month investigation, the
Grand Jury found that at-risk children are not receiving timely access to mental health
treatment. Several factors were preventing timely access, all of which are within the
control of Behavioral Health Services and its subdivision Children’s Mental Health
Services. The Board of Supervisors should consider identifying funds to provide timely
treatment for children.
METHODOLOGY
The Grand Jury researched the statutes, agreements and regulations on mental health
services for children that pertain to the County. It also researched official reports from
State and County agencies, and conducted numerous interviews with County personnel
who are involved in the delivery of mental health services.
BACKGROUND
This Grand Jury conducted a detailed investigation of mental health services for at-risk
children in Contra Costa County. For purposes of this investigation, the Grand Jury
defined at-risk children as:
• Foster children or those in danger of becoming foster children
• Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) victims
• Youth detained in Juvenile Hall
• Children who have experienced domestic violence and sexual abuse.

The Mental Health Commission White Paper
The Mental Health Commission (MHC), an advisory body appointed by the Board of
Supervisors to serve as the watchdog group in the County for mental health services,
issued a white paper in April 2016 “to encourage discussion around the current crisis in
the county public mental health care system and deficits in the county mental health
budget process that contribute to this crisis.”
While the white paper was issued by MHC, Behavioral Health Services (BHS) assisted
MHC with the data and the contents of the paper. The paper describes key points that
are pertinent to at-risk children:
“The wake-up call of the crisis at Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) that points to
an impacted system that is unable to provide the right treatment at the right moment in
time and is therefore struggling to truly meet the needs of people with a serious mental
illness,”
“The compromised ability of Child/Adolescent Clinics to meet the needs of patients
due to understaffing as evidenced by three to four months wait times and a migration of
patients to PES for intervention that is not meant to be a stand-in for treatment,”
“The underlying theme of inadequate staffing levels due to the inability of treatment
facilities to attract and keep high quality psychiatrists and nurses because of
uncompetitive compensation and such practices as closing of lists,”
“The underlying theme of dedicated, quality staff struggling to offer excellent care but
undercut by budgets that are generated by a formulaic, top down process rather than a
process that builds up a budget from program needs.”
The Katie A. Requirements
In delivering mental health services, the County must comply with the terms of the Katie
A. requirements. Katie A. was the lead plaintiff in a multiple-plaintiff lawsuit filed against
Los Angeles County and the State of California in 2002. The lawsuit alleged that
significant gaps existed in mental health services provided to children in the foster care
system. By the age of 14, Katie A. had been shuffled through 37 foster homes and had
endured 19 confinements in psychiatric hospitals.
Los Angeles County settled with the plaintiffs in 2003. The State of California agreed to
the following Katie A. child definition and mental health service requirements in 2011:
Children who are in or at risk of entering foster care will be identified as the “Katie A.
subclass.” A child will be part of the subclass if wraparound or specialized services are
being considered for the child, or the child has been hospitalized three times in the past
24 months for behavioral reasons or is currently hospitalized for a behavioral issue.

Contra Costa County 2016-2017 Grand Jury Report 1703 Page 3
Grand Jury Reports are posted at http://www.cc-courts.org/grandjury
Pursuant to this agreement, California counties must adhere to a protocol, called a “core
practice model,” for screening and treating foster children. In accordance with this
protocol, children may be eligible for the following services:
• Intensive Care Coordination (ICC)
• Intensive Home-Based Services (IHBS)
• Therapeutic Foster Care in specially-trained foster homes.
The County hired several coordinators and appointed a Katie A. specialist manager to
handle the new protocol.
DISCUSSION
The Grand Jury used the new Katie A. requirements and the MHC white paper as
starting points to investigate Contra Costa County’s delivery of mental health services to
at-risk children.
Youth confined in Juvenile Hall receive a consistent and well-regulated package of
children’s mental health services from the County since these children are in a
controlled confinement. Of the 110 youth currently at the Hall (some of whom are CSEC
victims), 30% have been identified as having mental health problems. BHS has
assigned three County clinicians and a program manager to work exclusively at the Hall
to provide treatment, which involves medication and therapy. All three therapists are
grant-funded, and the grants require regular data reports on the outcome of the
treatments.
CSEC victims and children in domestic violence and sexual abuse situations are
sometimes discovered by police responding to a complaint. The police refer the children
to the Victim Advocates in the District Attorney’s Office. After securing the child in a safe
environment, the advocate arranges for the child to receive therapy so that the child can
better assist in the legal prosecution of their abusers. BHS is not usually involved in this
process. Rather, the Victim Advocate arranges for the victim to receive treatment from a
private therapist or psychiatrist. This treatment is funded by the State Victim
Compensation Fund and continues for the months or years that the victim needs to
recover. Despite receiving mental-health treatment, some CSEC victims are reluctant to
testify against their pimp abusers.
An estimated 85-90% of foster children need some form of mental health services.
Given this statistic, it is not surprising that a significant component of the estimated
7,000-plus children in the County who are serviced for mental health annually are foster
children, estimated at over 1,700, or those who are in danger of becoming foster
children. Only 300 of these children currently belong to the “Katie A. subclass.” The
County’s compliance in the Katie A. requirements is a work in progress. Satisfactory
10/9/18 BOS minutes 663

compliance depends upon skilled coordination between the social workers in Children
and Family Services (CFS) and the clinicians at BHS.
Children who may need mental health services are generally assessed and evaluated
within 7-10 days. However, children wait much longer, weeks or months, to receive
treatment.
After assessment and evaluation, the social workers at CFS arrange for treatment for
the child client through the BHS liaisons. The liaisons provide the social workers and
child guardians with three referrals of available psychiatrists or therapists from their
database. The social workers or guardians call these mental health professionals to
schedule treatment. Oftentimes, the social workers or guardians find that the three
referrals they have been given by the BHS liaisons are not available. Then they must
go back to the liaisons to arrange for another set of three referrals. This is the cause of
many delays. The CFS social workers state that the child has an average waiting time
for treatment of three months and the BHS liaisons state that the average is only 4 to 6
weeks. These two sets of County workers are working from different perspectives and
from different calendar counts. The BHS liaisons also state that they do not have an
updated list of unavailable psychiatrists or therapists.
After the screening and evaluation phase, each of the 7,000-plus children are classified
into two groups:
1. Medium to severe
2. Mild to medium
The mild to medium cases are scheduled for appointments with psychiatrists and
therapists in non-profit community-based organizations (CBOs) and private therapists
contracted by BHS. The medium to severe cases are scheduled for appointments with
the psychiatrists and therapists in the County’s three regional mental health clinics.
There are several factors that prevent children from accessing mental health services in
a timely manner. These factors differ depending on whether the child is classified as
medium to severe, or mild to medium.
Medium to Severe Cases
The three mental health clinics are understaffed in terms of psychiatrists, the doctors
who diagnose the children and prescribe medication for them when appropriate.
Children’s Mental Health Services estimates it needs to hire six more psychiatrists to
handle the workload and resolve the inequitable distribution among the regional clinics.
The County pays $30-50,000 less than what psychiatrists can earn in private practice.
Table 1 shows the distribution of the medium to severe cases assigned to the three
clinics and the corresponding distribution of psychiatrists in those three clinics.

Ratio 28.6 15.7 50 25.5
The normal management response to such uneven distribution is to reallocate some
therapists from Concord, to Antioch and to West County. The Grand Jury found no
evidence that any such plan is being considered.
Mild to Medium Cases
BHS contracts with 34 non-profit Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to treat the
estimated 5,000 children considered mild to medium cases. Twenty percent of these 34
CBOs were at capacity as of February 2017, meaning that seven of the CBOs had no
appointment availability. The BHS liaisons, who provide the appointment referrals for
the guardians/patients, do not have current data on the clinicians’ availability. Thus,
social workers or guardians call to CBOs that have no availability, causing delays in the
children’s treatment.
In addition to providing mental health treatment through CBOs, BHS can assign the
5,000 children who are diagnosed as mild to medium cases to the over 200 individual
private therapists that it contracts with. Like CBOs, these private therapists have limited
availability. Table 3 shows the availability of those private therapists in February 2017
and their distribution in the three regions.

Overall, 68% of the private therapists were not available for appointments. Thus,
children must wait longer for mental health services.
While no-shows for appointments also contribute to longer wait times, this factor is not
under the control of BHS. The tables show what is within the control of BHS and its
subdivision that manages treatment delays for at-risk children.
FINDINGS
F1. The County provides timely and consistent mental health services to detained
youth in Juvenile Hall, CSEC victims, and children in domestic violence and sexual
abuse situations.
F2. Under the terms of the Katie A. requirements, upper and middle management
levels of CFS and BHS have started to coordinate their efforts.
F3. Many at-risk children are not receiving mental health treatment for several weeks
to several months after the County assesses their mental-health needs.
F4. Children’s Mental Health Services estimates that the County needs an additional
six psychiatrists for its three clinics.
F5. County salaries for psychiatrists are not competitive with private practice.
F6. The shortage of psychiatrists causes delays in the diagnosis and treatment of
medium to severe mentally ill children.
F7. West County clinic, which has the most medium to severe patients, also has the
highest patient to therapist ratio.
F8. The 85 County therapists, who treat medium to severely mentally ill children, are
not equitably distributed among the three clinics based on workload.
F9. Twenty percent of the CBOs and 68% of the individual private therapists are not
available for appointments.
F10. BHS liaisons are not provided with current information about the availability of
CBOs and private therapists for appointments.
RECOMMENDATIONS
R1. The Board of Supervisors should consider identifying funds to add six psychiatrists
at the three regional mental health clinics.
R2. The Board of Supervisors should consider directing Human Resources to review
the compensation packages for County psychiatrists to ensure their compensation
packages are competitive compared with the private market.

R3. The Board of Supervisors should consider directing BHS to redeploy therapists
with a view to a more equitable ratio of children per therapist among the County’s
three mental health clinics.
R4. The Board of Supervisors should consider identifying funds to enable BHS to
review and improve systems related to the real time availability of CBOs and
individual private therapists for mental health service appointments.
R5. The Board of Supervisors should consider directing BHS to monitor and report on
the wait times for mental health treatment for at-risk children.

homeless continuum of care.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact. This is an informational report only.
BACKGROUND:
The Family and Human Services Committee, on September 24, 2018, received the following annual status
reports from the Health Services Department on the Continuum of Care Plan for the Homeless and
Healthcare for the Homeless. At the meeting, the Committee learned that the 2018 Point In Time Count of
the homeless population saw a 39% increase in the HUD homeless over the 2017 count, likely due to the
doubling of CORE outreach teams that conducted the counting. Five Contra Costa cities participate on the
CORE teams as well as the County Public Works Department for a creeks team. Youth, families and
undocumented are dramatically under-represented, and so a youth and family count was conducted
separately from HUD requirements and was administered partly via an online survey. Outside agencies
were able to distribute a web link to their clients, opening up responses and promising to provide new
statistics that will be helpful in future grant applications.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Committee also received information about the Built for Zero Campaign targeting veterans and the
chronically homeless. The goal is to establish a complete list identifying homeless individuals to start
actively managing their cases and continue services. Coordinated Entry is name for this redesign
concept. The County's current shelter capacity addresses only 30% of what is needed. The Program has
increased capacity through the addition of “warming centers”.
Supervisor Gioia opined that we are approaching a state of emergency and we are not doing enough to
provide permanent housing rather than shelters. He expressed frustration over the lack of progress on
the Richmond housing site and requested of staff that future statistical reports detail the number of
people who actually received permanent housing. Supervisor Andersen suggested the 211 resource as a
way to connect the homeless to needed services. She also suggested having the Youth Action Council
work on engaging more youth.
The Committee received information about health care services for the homeless, including opioid
addiction treatment, and the number of clients and encounters with clients. The data showed that
homeless Medi-Cal patients were more than twice as likely to have a chronic health condition and
drastically more likely to visit hospital emergency than general Medi-Cal patients. Highlighted was the
gap in services for elderly people with conditions such as dementia, incontinence, and mental illness,
citing that such conditions are often barriers to private board and care placement. Health Services staff
suggested that County-operated board and care might fill that gap and for less cost than long-term
County Hospital stays.
Supervisor Andersen asked staff what research had been done on County-run skilled nursing programs
and if the County would realistically take on that service within the Health Care budget. She suggested
that it might be more cost effective to contract out for these services. She asked about what other
counties might be doing in this area and what, if any, contractors they use and how they fund the
program. Staff commented that only preliminary discussions have occurred but he would work to
develop a proposal.
HEALTH SERVICES REPORTS:
Since 1990, the Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) Program has provided health care services to the
homeless population in Contra Costa County through mobile clinics, stationary health centers, the
Concord Medical Respite facility, street medical outreach clinics and the medication-assisted treatment
program. Health care services provided by the HCH team include routine physical assessments, basic
treatment of primary health problems such as minor wounds and skin conditions, respiratory problems,
TB screening, acute communicable disease screening, coordination and referrals for follow up treatment
of identified health care needs, dental services, health education, behavioral health services, medication
assisted treatment for opioid addiction, and outreach and enrollment services. A significant portion of
the homeless patients seen by the HCH team have chronic diseases, including asthma, hypertension,
diabetes, and mental health/substance abuse issues. They also have disproportionately more dental,
substance abuse and mental health needs than the general population.
In November 2014, the Board approved “Forging Ahead Towards Preventing and Ending Homelessness:
An Update to Contra Costa’s 2004 Strategic Plan”, that renewed our 2004 plan with the latest data, best
practices, and community feedback and reaffirmed our commitment to the Housing First approach. As
such, “Forging Ahead” establishes this guiding principle: “Homelessness is first a housing issue, and
10/9/18 BOS minutes 669
necessary supports and services are critical to help people remain housed. Our system must be nimble
and flexible enough to respond through shared responsibility, accountability, and transparency of the
community.” The Strategic Plan Update identifies two goals: 1) Decrease the length of time people
experience homelessness by focusing on providing Permanent Housing and Services and; 2) Decrease
the percentage of people who become homeless by providing Prevention activities. To achieve these
goals, three strategies emerged:
Implement a coordinated entry/assessment system to streamline access to housing
and services while addressing barriers, getting the right resources to the right people
at the right time;
1.
Use best, promising , and most effective practices to give the consumer the best
possible experience through the strategic use of resources; and
2.
Develop the most effective platforms to provide access, support advocacy, and
connect to the community about homelessness and available resources.
3.
Health Care for the Homeless
The HCH Program’s Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) team, which provides Nurse and
Behaviorist Care Management services to patients seeking recovery from opiate addiction, has expanded
to five CCHS Health Centers with between 500-600 patients served annually. This program works in
collaboration with the CCHS primary care and the CCHS Behavioral Health divisions. MAT patients are
prescribed Buprenorphine, a drug used to treat opioid addiction, enrolled in regular group classes to
support their recovery, and assigned a nurse care manager to support this process and ensure medication
and appointment compliance. The MAT program has seen significant growth in the last year through
referrals for patients needing these services.
The HCH Program recently added a mobile dental clinic to our fleet and is now providing dental
services to homeless patients at the Bay Area Rescue Mission, Brookside Shelter and Calli House Youth
Shelter. Expanded dental services are planned in East County in the near future.
CCHS and the HCH team received a Health Center Quality Leader award in August 2018. This award
recognizes the highest performing health centers nationwide. As a Health Center Quality Leader, CCHS
achieved the best overall clinical performance among health centers, placing in the top 30% of the
adjusted quartile rankings for clinical quality measures. This award was based on the quality of care that
CCHS provides to our homeless patients.
The attached report highlights the increasing needs of the rapidly growing senior homeless population,
as well as the disproportionate burden of medical and behavioral issues faced by those living without
homes in Contra Cost County. Along with an aging population comes patients with more complex
chronic health conditions and mental illness. With little housing choices, the HCH team struggles to
address patients’ illnesses on the street and in encampments, or as they shuffle between shelters. We
cannot care for this population in a safe and humane manner without additional resources addressing the
central issue of lack of stable housing. This population faces a crisis that needs to be addressed by the
county with additional supportive long-term care facilities that are accessible for our patients.
Continuum of Care Plan for the Homeless
The Homeless Program of the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division partners with the
Homeless Advisory Board and Continuum of Care to develop and carry out an annual action plan that
10/9/18 BOS minutes 670
identifies the objectives and benchmarks related to each of the goals and strategies of Forging Ahead.
Further, the Homeless Program incorporates the strategic plan goals into its own delivery system of
comprehensive services, interim housing and permanent supportive housing as well as contracting with
community agencies to provide additional homeless services and housing with the goal of ending
homelessness in our community.

HCH STAFF TESTIMONIALS
“In my 40 years of nursing, I have worked in many high
intensity settings, such as intensive care, trauma, and
oncology. Though the patients I served in these settings had a
magnitude of needs, none compare to those of our homeless
patients we serve at the respite center and shelters.
Their medical histories are complex; they present often with
end stage disease, and are all dealing with issues such as
trauma, loss, addiction, and mental illness. Their care
demands intense dedication, support, and advocacy. My past
experiences prepared me for high acuity care, but the
challenges of this population are ever expanding and continue
to encourage us to do more and think differently about what
care means.”

RECOMMENDATION(S):
RECEIVE report prepared by the Employment and Human Services Department on the Workforce
Development Board and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act updates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. This is an informational report.
BACKGROUND:
On January 6, 2015 the Board of Supervisors referred oversight and receipt of updates on the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS).
WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment,
education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the
skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed the Act by a wide bipartisan
majority; it is the first legislative reform in 15 years of the public workforce system. WIOA was expected to
significantly impact the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) and the way the Workforce
Development Board does its work. Therefore, updates on the impacts and changes was referred to FHS.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
FHS received the attached report at its September 24, 2018 meeting. EHSD staff highlighted the number
of people serviced and the specialized programs and business partners, advising that significant State
funding would soon become available and that the Workforce Development Board (WBD) is updating
the regional and local plan, which is due in March 2019.
WDB Chair Bhupen Amin commented that the new WDB is active and working cohesively. WDB Vice
Chair Yolanda Vega thanked the board of supervisors for approving the Rubicon Program collaboration.
The Workforce Collaborative through Rubicon was implemented because of a decrease in funding. Four
sites have grown to ten, and are being well-received by patrons and the press. The Collaborative has
streamlined services and made all assistance available in one location.
Staff advised that the program typically places 70-80% of participants in jobs.

Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) Implementation Update
The WDB has successfully completed most of the WIOA implementation criteria inclusive of new local
and regional plans, MOU Phase I & Phase II, One-Stop Operator requirement and the AJCC Certification
process. The one area that remains constant and fluid is the regional work under the new State
designated Re gional Planning Units (RPU) of which Contra Costa is the lead for the East Bay RPU
(updates below).
Adult & Dislocated Worker Career Services/AJCC Transition
Transition
Due to significant reductions in the WDB budget, the WDB, along with the Board of Supervisors,
approved the procurement for WIOA Adult & Dislocated Worker Career Services in October of 2017. An
RFP was released in November of 2017, and a recommendation and subsequent award was made in
March of 2018 to Rubicon Programs on behalf of the Contra Costa Workforce Collaborative.
As of May 24th, 2018, 3 of the 4 EASTBAY Works America’s Job Centers of California (AJCC) were closed:
Liberty, Antioch, and San Pablo. Eighteen staff were affected by these closures: 15 were successfully
transitioned to equitable positions within the County; 2 retired; 1 accepted a positon in San Francisco;
and 1 is still eligible for the TET program and seeking employment.
The comprehensive AJCC located in Concord remained open with limited staff, and with the assistance
of partner organizations continued to offer services throughout the county until the contract with
Rubicon was in place.
Rubicon/Contra Costa Workforce Collaborative
The contract with Rubicon Programs to operate the Comprehensive America’s Job Center of California
and the delivery of Adult & Dislocated Worker Career Services throughout Contra Costa County was
approved at the August 14th Board of Supervisors meeting with an August 1st start date. Rubicon staff
have started working at the Concord AJCC as of August 1st and we continue to work with them and the
Contra Costa Workforce Collaborative to fully implement Adult & Dislocated Worker Career Services
throughout Contra Costa County.
The Collaborative is an innovative public-nonprofit partnership of Contra Costa County workforce
development organizations that currently operate within the County and was created specifically in
response to this RFP. The Collaborative consists of our Community Colleges, our Adult Education
partners, Opportunity Junction, Lao Family Community Development, New Horizons, San Pablo EDC, and
Rubicon as the lead.
WIOA Youth Programs
Program year 2018-19 youth contractors include: Contra Costa County Office of Education and Mt.
Diablo Unified School District . Bay Area Community Resources will no longer be a provider; Contra Costa
County Office of Education will pick up the service delivery in East Contra Costa County . Contracts are in
place and the funding for these contracts will remain level.

CCWORKS
Under the direction of the WDBCCC the CCWORKS subsidized employment program continues to have a
high success rate of finding work experience opportunities for CalWORKS recipients. The WDBCCC
continues to work on deepening its collaboration with the CalWORKS program and is currently strategizing
a process for co-enrollment.
CCWORKS is experiencing a lower than usual placement rate due to the new County onboarding process
that requires all CCWORKS participants being placed in a county work assignment to be finger printed via
live scan. This process is delaying placement of participants up to 6 weeks and many are timing or
dropping out due to this long delay.
Highlights:
CCWORKS placements for 2018-2019 July 1st through August 31st: 12
CCWORKS placements for 2017-2018: 110
Business Services
The WBD business services team continues to work closely with our local chambers, our city offices and
economic development entities throughout the county, our identified regional sector partnerships and
other programs and partnerships.
Highlights include:
The WDB hosted 2 Fair Chance Employer Summits in program year 2017-18: 1 on
October 18th at the El Cerrito Community Center and 1 on May 16th at the Antioch
Community Center. Both events were extremely successful with over 250 attendees and
35 Fair Chance Business Pledges secured for both events combined.
The WDB business services recently entered into a partnership with the Contra Costa
County Employer Advisory Council and will be hosting employer forums jointly. Along
with the City of Concord we will host a forum on “Finding the Untapped Workforce
Market” on November 7th.
The WDB business team is establishing a county wide business task force that will
include EDD and other public and community based organizations to streamline services
for all Contra Costa businesses: Integrated Business and Employment Service Team =
IBest
Through the Disability Accelerator Employment Grant, WDB business services will be
hosting an employer educational forum on hiring people with disabilities in February of
2019.

Small Business Development Center
Partially funded by the Small Business Administration (SBA), this program, hosted by the WDBCCC, delivers
individualized advising and group training to current and aspiring business owners in English and Spanish
throughout the County. The SBDC actively partners with myriad public, nonprofit, and private sector
organizations to attract “high-impact” employers as well as community-based agencies to reach and serve
low-to-moderate income (LMI) residents.
The SBDC braids and leverages federal Small Business Administration (SBA) funding with state and local
support from the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO -Biz), Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Keller Canyon Mitigation funds. Approximately 75% of our clients
self-identify as 80% below the area median income.

Regional Initiatives, Organizing and Training
East Bay Regional Planning Unit (RPU)
There is a lot going on in workforce around regionalism. Contra Costa County is still the lead for the
approximately 1 million dollars in regional funds that the East Bay RPU has been awarded toward this
effort.
Regional trainings we are in the process of scheduling:
Understanding Context of Criminal Justice Supervision
Creating Talent for Change
Facilitating Career Development
East Bay Slingshot
While initial funding for this initiative has expired, Contra Costa and the East Bay Region continues to be
recognized for our SlingShot model and successes. The East Bay RPU funds will support all 5 of the sector
partnerships to build capacity and sustain these efforts regionally. Some of the regional funds will be
used to support a regional administrative support staff person to organize these efforts. Some of this
funding has been allocated for specific regional industries (Advanced Manufacturing and Healthcare) to

support sustainability models they are working on and some of these funds have been allocated to
training cohorts with earn & learn components in the healthcare industry ; specifically a dental assisting
training targeted to start late 2018 or early 2019.
Earn & Learn East Bay (ELEB)
Earn & Learn East Bay is an employer engagement campaign that supports employers in providing
quality work-based learning experiences for youth and provides them with a local talent pipeline. To
support this work, Earn & Learn works with school districts, community colleges, workforce
development boards, youth development providers and business associations in Alameda and Contra
Costa counties in creating a coordinated system that increases and enhances transformative
experiences for youth. ELEB is currently hosted and coordinated by the WDBCCC and the Contra Costa
Economic Partnership (CCEP).
The Problem: Business as usual wasn’t working for business anymore, employers were being inundated
with work based learning requests, and were ready for a change.
The Solution: Earn & Learn East Bay organiz es work-based learning experiences that are
transformational for youth and easy and meaningful for employers. We are a single point of contact for
employers to work with the region's schools, colleges and community organizations

Prison 2 Employment Initiative (P2E)
As part of Governor Brown's efforts to improve California’s criminal and juvenile justice systems and
reduce recidivism through increased rehabilitation, the California Workforce Development Board (State
Board), California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), California Prison Industry
Authority, and California Workforce Association have finalized a partnership agreement that is included
in amendments to the California WIOA Unified Strategic Workforce Development Plan 2016-2020.
The partnership agreement is intended to strengthen linkages between the workforce and corrections
systems in order to improve the process by which formerly incarcerated and justice-involved1
individuals reenter society and the labor force. The partnership agreement will inform policies specific to
Local Workforce Development Boards (Local Board) and how they serve the state's formerly
incarcerated and justice-involved population
This initiative proposes $37 million over three budget years to fund the states 14 regional planning units.
The money will be released in 3 phases: Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.
We are in the planning phase now and have convened the mandatory partners with the specific
intention of creating and submitting a request for $100,000 for our proposed plan. This proposal was
submitted Monday, August 27th. The planning funds should be available by October and all regions will
be required to submit their plan and request for implementation funds as part of our revised RPU plans
due March 15, 2019.
Regional and Local Plan Update
Under WIOA, a biennial update of regional and local plans is required in order to ensure plans remain
current and account for “changes in labor market and economic conditions or in other factors affecting
the implementation of the local plan” (29 U.S. Code § 3123). The California Workforce Development
Board (State Board) has also made changes to the State Plan which require that Local Boards update
their plans to keep them consistent with the policy direction of the State Plan. Pursuant to the State Plan
modifications submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor in the spring of 2018 and approved on June 11,
2018, the State Board is providing guidance to Local Boards on the requirements associated with local
and regional planning modifications. This Directive provides specific guidance and instructions on both
required and elective modifications to local and regional plans. Revised plans are due March 15, 2019.
New elements that must be included in the revised plans:
Workforce-Corrections Partnerships: A New Element of Regional Plans
New Partnership Agreement with CalFresh and Strengthened Partnerships with Human Service
Agencies
Required Plan Content Pertaining to the DCSS and Workforce System Partnership
Revised Partnership Agreement Pertaining to Competitive Integrated Employment
Provision of Services to English Language Learners, the Foreign Born, and Refugees
Required compliance with State Plan guidance and State Law regarding Multi-Craft Core

Subject:SNAP/CalFresh (Food Stamp) Program Update
10/9/18 BOS minutes 716
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Family and Human Services Committee, on September 24, 2018, received the attached CalFresh
Program Update report. Staff reported that applications increased by 121% over a ten year period but
that CalFresh applications and disbursements decreased this year from last year likely due to higher
employment. She highlighted her concern about the Federal Administration's forthcoming guidelines
that will restrict eligibility for cash aid and permanent housing to permanent residents.
Supervisor Gioia observed that we are at nearly a 20% poverty level and that work has been done to
determine what the definition of poverty means for Contra Costa County. The Committee requested
information on how this is affecting Contra Costa County specifically. Staff are working on identifying
the gap of people who will no longer qualify for cash benefits under the forthcoming new guidelines. An
early indicator is that in August, 20% of people surveyed said they did not want to apply for CalFresh
because of immigration concerns.
Supervisor Gioia asked what staff are doing to address different reasons (other than unemployment
decreasing) for the decrease in food stamp utilization. He suggested greater outreach. Staff advised that
they conduct cross-sector outreach through Meals on Wheels packets, for example, but are always
battling stigma.
Lisa Arnold spoke during the public comment period about the need to close the gap between jail
release and cash aid receipt, saying it can take as long as two weeks. She suggested that the Medi-Cal
application be initiated while a person is still incarcerated so he/she does not come out desperate and the
re-offend. Staff verified that they work with parolee entities and Rubicon center on this. Supervisor
Andersen suggested that staff network with the Office of Re-entry and Justice to obtain information
about jail inmates who are preparing to emancipate.
The CalFresh Partnership offered three recommendations in pertinence to the long wait times
experienced by clients in County offices and call centers, which they attributed to a lack of frontline staff
in County offices:
Lift the hiring freeze on the Workforce Services Bureau so they can hire more frontline CalFresh staff.1.
Commit any augmented allocation this year to fund additional front line staff so that people can receive the
customer service they need to navigate the benefits process.
2.
In reference to customer service, access to benefits, and fighting hunger, create transparency about where
the resources for the CalFresh allocation are being used within the County to ensure that the best use of
taxpayer dollars. To do so, engage an independent contractor to conduct an impartial analysis of how
CalFresh and other public benefits administrative dollars are allocated, and share the results with the public.
3.
The Committee requested that these recommendations be forwarded to the Employment and Human
Services Director for response and report back to the FHS Committee.

Subject: CALFRESH PROGRAM UPDATE
I. Overview
The CalFresh program, formerly known as Food Stamps and federally known as the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was designed to help provide
assistance to hungry people, regardless of their age, gender, marital or family status. The
program issues monthly electronic benefits that can be used to buy most foods at many
markets and food stores.
The CalFresh program helps to improve the health and well-being of qualified households
and individuals by providing them a means to meet their nutritional needs. At the federal
level, the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) administers the program. In California, the CalFresh program falls under the
California Department of Social Services (CDSS) and is administered at the local level by
the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD).
Since the Great Recession, we have experienced an unprecedented increase in the number
of individuals applying for CalFresh benefits. In 2006, we had approximately 12,554
families applying for aid as compared to 27,684 in 2017. This represents a 121% increase
in the number of CalFresh applications received during this period.
Technology advancements available allow applicants the ability to file an application “on
line” eliminating the need to walk into a district office. Our community partners are also
able to utilize this technology reaching more potentially eligible households. Residents of
Contra Costa County were able to file applications using a new portal (getcalfresh.org)
effective July 2017. The average number of on line applications for 2018 is 1,036, which is
an increase of 55% from 2017.

Over the last 12 years, the CalFresh only cases have increased a total of 375% going from
roughly 5,846 average cases a month in 2006 to 27,743 average monthly cases in 2017.
Beyond the CalFresh only average caseload of 27,743 in 2017, we also had an additional
average of 4,250 Public Assistance cases, which represents those households that receive
both cash aid (CalWORKs) and CalFresh. This represents a total average of 31,521
CalFresh cases in 2017.

In Contra Costa County, CalFresh puts almost $8.8 million into the local economy each
month. As indicated by the USDA, research shows that every $1 provided in CalFresh
benefits generates $1.79 in economic activity. Using the multiplier effect, CalFresh pumped
more than $17.9 million into the local economy in the past year. This economic stimulus is
almost exclusively Federal and State funded and provides an important local boost to our
economy. CalFresh benefits help families stretch their food dollars to buy healthier foods
for the whole family.
The average, total monthly CalFresh benefits issued in 2006 was $3,285,940 compared to
the 2017 issuance of $8,816,127. This accounts for an increase of 268% for our household s
and the local economy.

CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 4
1. Although the allocation has declined approximately 14% and the caseload and
applications have declined approximately 9% in the last two years, our operational
CalFresh specific staffing has reduced by approximately 26% in the same time frame.
This severe reduction has critically impacted our ability to deliver services timely.
2. We are interested in developing more partnerships and innovative services to better
serve the CalFresh applicants and recipients in our county. Our low staffing levels
impact our ability to explore these areas.
3. In addition, many counties have more than one Program Analyst dedicated to CalFresh
making it possible to expand beyond core services.
Alameda ~ 2.5 CF Program Analysts with one designated for outreach
Fresno ~ 2 CF Program Analysts
Ventura ~ 2 CF Program Analysts until 7/3/17. As of July 3, 2017, there are four
(4) CF Program Analysts. Two (2) are dedicated to writing policy and two (2)
operational analysts who visit district offices to ensure regulations are being
followed and provide Q and A.
There is an additional analyst dedicated to outreach for all programs.
II. Eligibility for CalFresh
Households that include single individuals, couples, or families are eligible for CalFresh
benefits if they meet certain income criteria and legally reside in California. For some
CalFresh beneficiaries (under the 200% FPL) eligibility is not asset-based or resource-based
which means their property is not counted such as vehicles, cash on hand or money
contained in bank accounts.
The amount of benefits a person receives depends on the number of people in the household
who purchase and prepare food together and how much monthly income is left after certain
expenses are deducted. Income consists of earned and unearned income. Expenses like rent,
utilities, dependent care and certain medical expenses are allowable deductions. For
example, a household of one (1) with no income would be eligible to receive $192.00 a
month in CalFresh benefits and a household of 10 with no income would receive $1,441.00
a month.
III. Program Accessibility
To make CalFresh benefits more readily accessible to County residents and families, over
the last several years the Department has increased its efforts in working with the Food Bank
of Contra Costa and Solano as well as other community agencies dedicated to the CalFresh-
eligible population.
As listed below, these efforts have contributed to the success of our expanding benefits to
those in need of food security.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 721
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 5
The application process has been made easier by eliminating the requirement to apply
through a face-to -face interview process. A telephone interview is now acceptable at
both intake and recertification. A customer may still request a face-to -face interview if
they are more comfortable meeting directly with an Eligibility Worker.
Use of telephonic signature has begun at Department locations that have Automated Call
Distribution capability such as the Medi-Cal CalFresh Service Center (MCSC) and the
Health Care Access Center (HCAC). As we obtain and expand the necessary
technology, the use of telephonic signature will be used department-wide.
Applicants can now apply for CalFresh benefits on-line through My Benefits
CalWIN.org portal. Many of our community-based partners have received
orientations/trainings on assisting individuals through this on-line application process.
In addition, Community Based Organizations (CBOs) can register their organizations as
vendors in CalWIN. This will allow the CBOs to track the number of applications they
register and the number processed each month by the Department.
A customer can also access benefits through the use of a multi-program single paper
application. For example, a customer who applies for and is found ineligible for
CalWORKs benefits can use this same application (the SAWS 2 Plus) to automatically
apply for CalFresh benefits without completing another application.
In February 2014, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) initiated the Express
Lane Eligibility waiver program in which certain CalFresh beneficiaries were given
Medi-Cal benefits without having to complete and file an application. The waiver ended
June 30, 2017.
The statewide Work Incentive Nutritional Supplement (WINS) Program was
implemented in Contra Costa County on July 1, 2014. Under the WINS program,
CalFresh households who are not in receipt of CalWORKs, but who meet the work
participation hours of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program
and have a child in the household under 18 receive an additional $10.00 food benefit
each month. From April 2017 through March 2018 there is a monthly average of 2,660
households in receipt of this additional benefit.
Horizontal Integration allows applicants who are applying for health coverage through
the California Healthcare Eligibility Enrollment and Retention System, (CalHEERS)
portal to complete their application for CalFresh and/or CalWORKs benefits at the same
time without having to respond to questions already asked through the Covered
California process.
It was expected that through Horizontal Integration there would be an increase in
program participation rates by expediting program enrollment and minimizing client
efforts. In 2017 there were an average of 30 CalFresh and 6 CalWORKS applications
submitted each month.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 722
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 6
Conversations are also taking place with the Health Services Department to expand
the existing clinic consortium Medi-Cal Express application processing to include
CalFresh.
Other efforts to increase CalFresh enrollments are outlined in the Outreach section of
this report.
IV. Current CalFresh Service Levels and Program Performance
A. Service Levels:
During Program Year 2016- 2017 the monthly average of individuals (families and
single) who were in receipt of CalFresh benefits was 64,666. This is a 9% decrease from
the previous program year which is the result of an improving economy. Forty-eight
percent (48%) of these individuals are children under the age of 18.
B. Program Performance:
1. Timeliness Processing Standards
FNS requires states and counties to maintain certain performance measures for the
timely processing of CalFresh applications. These measures require that 90% of all
applications received be processed within 30 days and requires a three (3) day
processing period for those CalFresh applicants determined to require Expedited
Services (ES).
We continue to meet the 30-day CalFresh application processing standard of 90%
for PY 2016-2017 with 97.5% of applications being processed within the 30-day
processing requirement. During this same period we achieved a 96.61% processing
of ES applications within three (3) days. With our existing efforts and commitment
to the ES process, we have met or exceeded the ES 90% standard for a fourth
consecutive year.
With the significant loss of staff, a two year hard hiring freeze in the Workforce
Services (WFS) Bureau and now more than 78 positions vacant; our staffing levels
have fallen below those needed to process the work. The wait times at the Medi-Cal
CalFresh Service Center (MCSC) are frequently exceeding two hours and we are at
risk of being out of compliance for the timely processing of CalFresh applications.
Through Program Year 2016-17 and 2017-18, the WFS Bureau lost over 300
positions/staff equating to a 28% reduction our workforce in the Bureau. In the
CalFresh program, a reduction of 55 staff was sustained.
The Department is looking into the details and reasons of denied applications. This
review will assist in identifying training needs, increase participation and approval
rating, and improve the Case and Procedural Error Rates. The top denial reasons are
failure to keep a scheduled intake interview, failure to provide verifications, over
10/9/18 BOS minutes 723
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 7
income limits, not a separate household, SSI/SSP recipient, ineligible student, and
application withdrawn.
Management Evaluation (ME)
As mandated by the FNS, the California State Department of Social Services
(C DSS) is required to conduct a Management Evaluation (ME) review of Contra
Costa County’s administration of the CalFresh Program. The federal priority areas
of the ME for FFY 2017 were Program Access, Customer Service, Timeliness of
Application Processing, Payment Accuracy, Quality Control and Training. The ME
review was conducted the week of October 9, 2017.
CDSS observed and interviewed staff and clients at the Medi-Cal CalFresh Service
Center (MCSC), Benefits CalWIN, Central Mailing Unit, and district offices in
Antioch and Hercules. CDSS indicated that they were very impressed with the
excellent customer service demonstrated by our staff. They noted that with this being
the first ME for FFY 2018 that CCC has set a high standard for other counties to
achieve. CDSS was also impressed that our department had conducted Case And
Procedural Error Rate training and stated staff had commented to them on the value
of this training.
During the exit interview CDSS noted a total of five findings in several easily
correctable administrative and procedural areas. In addition, they recommended that
supervisory staff periodically sit in on client interviews to provide feedback and
ensure appropriate forms are discussed.
The next ME review will take place the week of October 15, 2018.
2. CalFresh Error Rate
Every month in every county, FNS selects a random sampling of CalFresh cases that
are to be reviewed for case errors involving miscalculations of income or household
composition which result in benefit issuance errors. Our Quality Control (QC) Unit
reviews those cases that are selected and determines our CalFresh error rate. Based
on the number of cases reviewed and the number of errors cited an error rate
percentage is then derived.
FNS is currently evaluating all States QC procedures to ensure that there is no bias
applied to the final outcome of the error rate. As a result there will be no fiscal
penalties tied to the error rate for FFY 2015 and FFY 2016. Therefore there will be
no final error rate for FFY 2016. It resets with FFY 2017 with new QC rules and
procedures for case reviews.
The error rate for FFY 2017 (October 2016 through September 2017) is at 6.07%
compared to the State error rate of 7.93%. California’s error rate falls within the
tolerance level for QC related liability assessments for FFY 2017. CDSS does
anticipate a request from FNS for a corrective action plan, which they will do in
partnership with counties.

The cumulative error rate for FFY 2018 (October 2017 through March 2018) is at
3.26% compared to the state error rate of 5.03%.
In recent prior years, our County has been one of the counties with a consistently
low error rate, which has contributed to the State error rate being below the federal
threshold.
3. Outside Consultant
In our attempt to improve customer service and performance levels, we hired an
outside consultant to assess our current business practices. While we have
incorporated several improvement recommendations there are still other
recommendations we will be instituting that will improve program access and
customer service. Due to allocation reductions, the contracted consultant will not
continue in Program Year 2018-19.
The QC consultant has worked with our IT staff in developing a Case Review
Management System tool. This tool allows the reviewer to go on-line to
complete the case review as well as produce real time data reports. This has been
instrumental in allowing our Unit Supervisors and the Program Integrity Unit to
quickly identify error trends so that corrective action can be taken. In addition,
the consultant has assisted our ability to fine tune the QC and Quality Assurance
(Q A) process with focus placed on the root cause of errors. This has allowed us
to identify error trends and develop corrective action strategies.
The Business Process consultant has evaluated our current CalFresh business
processes and analyzed data to identify areas for improvement. It was
determined that missed appointments are a large barrier for many applicants.
EHSD has incorporated and is evaluating options to reduce missed
appointments, including providing same day appointments, text appointment
reminders, and expanding alternatives to face-to-face interviews such as phone
and video conferencing.
EHSD is also working to identify and reduce “churn,” which is when clients
cycle on and off the program in a short amount of time; specifically, applicants
who reapply within three months of their semi-annual report or recertification
being due. If those clients were able to maintain continuous enrollment, it would
greatly reduce the workload of EHSD staff without an interruption in service for
clients. EHSD has begun work in this area, with a first step being the
implementation of text reminders to clients when their reports are due. In
addition, a “packet wrapper” was created for individuals walking into the district
office. This four step guide provides an overview of the enrollment process
including the interview, verification request, and EBT card issuance. Another
tool was developed for on-line applicants that places emphasis on how to
download and upload documents digitally, and how to create a
MyBenefitsCalWIN account so the applicant can track the application status.

CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 9
4. Staffing
As previously mentioned, 28% of the WFS Bureau’s staff/positions have been reduced
in the last two program years with 55 positons lost in CalFresh. Our inability to hire case
carrying or support staff is making it difficult to stay in compliance.
The loss of intake workers, eligibility workers, ongoing caseload workers, supervisory
and clerical positions in the Workforce Services Bureau will compromise the
improvements that have been achieved in the CalFresh program, specifically the reduced
error rate and Expedited Services delivery.
V. Outreach and Community
EHSD is proud of our efforts to increase CalFresh participation thereby ensuring that more
children, families and individuals are able to put nutritious food on their tables each day.
The Department has convened a CalFresh Partner Group with the goal of increasing
enrollment in the County. The partners include the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano,
the Multi-Faith ACTION Coalition, Ensuring Opportunity, and First 5. This group’s
strategies are to increase CalFresh enrollment and reach populations with historically lower
enrollment. What is already clearly a success is forging a path to partner with community
organizations on a shared goal; the ability to evaluate and modify processes and procedures ;
and a mindset that working together is always better.
The partner group is developing strategies for 2018 & 2019 that focus on outreach for
children, seniors, Latinos, reducing churn, and looking at dual enrollment by evaluating
existing Medi-Cal customers who could be potentially eligible to CalFresh. In addition,
work is being done to identify the potential population as it relates to 2019 regulation
changes that impact Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWD) and SSI/SSP
population. These changes are discussed in the Policy Items of Interest section.
Successful efforts and key achievements of the group are illustrated as follows:
CalFresh Enrollment Process Improvements: We are developing new and strengthening
existing business processes for helping people enroll in CalFresh. EHSD currently
works with the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano to train nonprofit staff in
CalFresh so they have a better understanding of the program and enrollment process.
This enhanced training and knowledge as well as a more specifically identified EHSD
liaison for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano will not only enhance the quality
of training and knowledge in the community, but will strengthen our community
partnerships.
Our partnering agencies have expressed a desire for the County to participate more
robustly in outreach efforts. Community activities, grants and funding opportunities
often request community based organizations to partner with the County or the County
needs to participate as a stakeholder. With the staffing issues that are currently being
faced, it is challenging for our staff to participate in expanded outreach efforts.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 726
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 10
We are currently exploring the possibility of providing additional funding support to our
partners to expand their outreach efforts. We will then measure the impact for the timely
processing of applications.
Walmart awarded a grant to the Food Bank for CalFresh Outreach. Partnering with
EHSD, the Food Bank mailed postcards to households currently receiving Medi-Cal but
not CalFresh. The Food Bank also partnered with local school districts to mail to
families with children on free/reduced lunch. Funds were also used to print posters
advertising the CalFresh program that are posted in health clinics, food pantries, and
other locations where low-income families are likely to visit.
When staffing levels increase, we will resume community based CalFresh events that
provide an opportunity to process applications and issue same day benefits while in the
community.
Technology partnership
o EHSD is working with the Food Bank and Code for America to utilize a mobile
application equipped with electronic signature. This allows the streamlining of
preliminary applications through an electronic portal via assistors in our partnering
agencies. The Food Bank and EHSD piloted a new application GetCalFresh
(formerly known as CLEAN), which is a simplified version of the on-line CalFresh
application that can be used on a tablet, smartphone or laptop. It was designed by
Code for America for use by community-based organizations. The application takes
only about 5-10 minutes to complete and is much simpler for outreach workers in
the field. Clients’ documents can also be uploaded for submission with the
application. The Food Bank continues to use GetCalFresh and is looking to this
platform as their sole application portal. It has greatly streamlined the application
process and makes filling out an online application while in line at a food distribution
event more feasible. This has increased the number of CalFresh applications.
Read Only Access
To further support the Food Bank’s efforts to assist clients more directly, EHSD has
provided CalWIN read only access to the Food Bank. This will allow designated Food
Bank staff to look up clients’ case status in real time, remind clients of their
appointments, let them know what paperwork they are missing, etc. This should
improve timely processing while also saving EHSD staff time. Before, the Food Bank
ha d to contact EHSD staff to get case updates, so this has significantly streamlined
access to data.
Marketing
o Volunteers from the Leadership Contra Costa alumni group have expressed interest
in helping advertise and market CalFresh to communities with many eligible people.
Developing a marketing plan for CalFresh will require studying the issue and
10/9/18 BOS minutes 727
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 11
applying smart advertising techniques to the challenge of CalFresh enrollment.
Leadership Contra Costa has marketing professionals who can help with this work.
o The month of May has been designated “CalFresh Awareness Month” by several
other California counties. Working with our community partners, the County Board
of Supervisors provided an official resolution and declared May as CalFresh
Awareness month in Contra Costa County.
o Community Produce Program is another successful example of the collaboration
between EHSD and the Food Bank. The Food Bank brings a food truck to the EHSD
Antioch District office parking lot at 4545 Delta Fair, every first and third Friday of
the month from 11:0 0 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In 2017, the Food Bank served an average
of 106 households each month. In 2018, the average served is 120 households each
month thus far. The Food Bank and EHSD have been working together to find other
locations allowing the population to receive fresh produce.
o In addition, the Food Bank is working with EHSD in designing a note card to send
to existing CF households to remove confusion surrounding the ABAWD work
rules. These rules go into effect in three bay area counties September 1, 2018, but
not implementing in CCC.
Community Training on CalFresh:
o The EHSD CalFresh Program Analyst conducts “Just the Basics” training with the
Food Bank which takes place three to four times per year with 25 to 30 participants
from community organizations in each session. Provided in the training is a
CalFresh overview, hands-on outreach application exercise as well as an
introduction to the on-line application MyBenefitsCalWIN.
This training has been a foundation in developing new partners since 2006. Aides of
the Board of Supervisors, staff from Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) and regular
attendees have attended this training from WIC, the Monument Crisis Center, La
Clinica, Rubicon, Public Health, Head Start, One Stop Centers and the Family
Justice Centers.
o Over the last six (6) years, EHSD has attended an annual Food Bank Summit which
is held on a rotational basis between Contra Costa and Solano Counties. The
purpose of the Summit is to educate, inform and update those in attendance on topics
such as Nutrition Education, Food Safety, what the Food Bank does, and provide
instruction and mandates of USDA on the CalFresh Program. This is a daylong
event and is attended by various County Department representatives, agencies, and
CBOs who work closely with the Food Bank.
o Beginning this month, EHSD staff are providing client navigational services and
more direct access to benefits including CalFresh through our 4 Our Families
Strategic Initiative. This service model provides a holistic approach to helping first-
10/9/18 BOS minutes 728
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 12
time clients access the targeted supports and services they need, through EHSD and
our Community Partners.
Currently, the services are available at the Richmond Family Justice Center, Bay
Point SIT Site, EHSD Antioch District Office and the EHSD satellite office in
Brentwood.
o The CalFresh Program Analyst participated in the “Connecting Homeless Clients
with Mainstream Benefits ” training on August 14, 2018. This training was
sponsored by the CCC Health Services Department and featured several topics on
eligibility requirements for various programs including CalFresh. This training
allowed its participants to gain insight into the programs and or services that are
available and how the homeless population can connect with mainstream benefits.
Advocacy
As the CalFresh Partner Group worked at expanding access to increase participation; it
was clear that changes at the local, State, and National level would be helpful, or even
sometimes necessary, to improve CalFresh benefit access. Current CalFresh policies
limit accessibility, including an application process that can be arduous for residents
with young children, those who work traditional hours, those who are disabled, and the
elderly. Policy changes that allow residents to apply over the phone, through the mail,
or on-line are recent additions, but work is still needed to make CalFresh as accessible
as possible.
The CalFresh Partner Group is looking to CalFresh advocacy to increase participation.
Several partner organizations have legislative platforms that include CalFresh concerns,
including addressing college student food insecurity, providing supplemental benefits
in the summer to families with school-age children, and simplifying the application
process by using electronic employment databases to verify income .
VI. Legislation
Under the current Administration, we continue to be concerned about potential legislative
or allocation methodology changes, which may result in client eligibility and/or funding
reductions to SNAP. We continue to track this issue through several mechanisms including
County representative organizations and our Policy and Planning Division.
The impending cuts to CalFresh propo sed in some versions of this year’s Farm Bill have
the potential to be very harmful to program participants in our county, increasing hunger in
our community. Likewise, the more extreme time limits and stricter work requirements
proposed would likely remove many low-income individuals from the program.
Able Bodied without Dependents (ABAWD)
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)
limits the receipt of CalFresh benefits to three mo nths in a 36-month period for the Able
10/9/18 BOS minutes 729
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 13
Bodied without Dependents (ABAWD) CalFresh popula tion if they are not working:
participating at least 80 hours per month in a qualifying education or training activity;
participating in a workfare program or exempt due to age; caring for a child or incapacitate d
household me mber; or certified as medically unfit for emplo yment.
Previo usly, there was a waiver to this requirement, which is scheduled to end August 31,
2018. When this occurs, ABAWDs will be required to participate in work activities in order
to cont inue to receive benefits. The waiver has been extended through August 31, 2019 for
55 Counties including Contra Costa. Three counties; San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa
Clara will begin implementing ABAWD rules September 1, 2018. CCC is expected to be
implementing in the second waive which begins September 1, 2019.
With the impending end of this waiver, the State and Counties are current working on
various concepts to serve this population effective S eptember 1, 2018. This is a current
emphasis of the Department at this time.
In partnership with EHSD, the Food Bank has secured significant private funding from four
local foundations to tackle this issue. EHSD has engaged in the formation of a new
partnership, specifically focused on mitigating the negative effects of the ABAWD roll off
and ensuring adequate supports for work in the community. This project has involved
contracting with the Glen Price Group consulting firm to convene necessary stakeholders
and to leverage partnerships to create a community-wide response to this impending
challenge.
Supplemental Security Income and/or California State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP)
Cash Out Policy
Effective June 1, 2019 individuals receiving or authorized to receive SSI/SSP are eligible
for CalFresh, providing all other eligibility criteria are met. This policy changes California’s
“cash-out” policy that began in 1974 when it opted to increase the monthly SSP allotment
by $10 instead of administering benefits to SSI/SSP recipients. Two state funded programs
will also be created to provide benefits to continuing households that will have their monthly
benefits reduced or discontinued due to adding a previously excluded SSI/SSP individual.
VII. Policy Items of Interest
The following changes will have an impact to our CalFresh participation, and/or increase
the workload of our staff:
Telephonic signature
The telephonic signature is a type of electronic signature that uses an individual’s
recorded spoken signature or verbal consent in place of an actual written signature. The
use of the telephonic signature, as part of the application or recertification process, will
eliminate the need to mail documents in order to gather a client’s ink signature. In
addition, utilizing this process will also reduce the amount of cases being discontinued
for failure to complete the recertification process, which will assist with reducing churn.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 730
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 14
EHSD does not yet have the technology in place to roll out telephone signature
Department wide but it is used at our locations that operate under Automated Call
Distribution such as the Health Care Access Center and the Medi-Cal CalFresh Service
Center. We began using this process in May 2016.
SNAP to Skills or Employment and Training
Contra Costa County is currently participating in SNAP to Skills led by Seattle Jobs
Initiative (SJI). The Federal and State CalFresh agencies have contracted with SJI to
help select California counties develop Employment and Training (E&T) programs.
Contra Costa is one of 34 counties in the State to offer CalFresh participants training
and assistance towards job readiness, job security, work norms and access to higher
education. We are partnering with Opportunity Junction and Rubicon Programs, who
are overseen by the Foundation for California Community Colleges’ Fresh Success
program.
The E&T program launched in Contra Costa on April 17, 2017. To date, there are 74
voluntarily enrolled clients in the E&T program with a total of 225 referrals.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Suspense Status
Due to the outcome of the Hector Riojas vs. USDA case, individuals in California who
are in SSI suspense status are no longer ineligible for CalFresh benefits. It was argued
that SSI recipients whose benefits are in suspense status should be eligible for CalFresh.
Effective August 30, 2016, individuals in California who are in SSI suspense status are
not precluded from CalFresh eligibility. These individuals must apply and meet normal
CalFresh eligibility requirements in order to receive benefits. While this change does
increase the number of eligible household members, the benefits are reduced as the SSI
income that was previously excluded is now included in the budget.
Public Charge
Immigration discussions at the national level continue to cause concern for the CalFresh
recipient and potential applicant. There have been no regulatory changes to date and we
continue to communicate to the community that it is business as usual. Use of CalFresh
benefits does not affect ones immigration status and will not cause immigration officials
to consider these individuals as a public charge.
Public charge is a term used by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS)
when referring to noncitizens that have or may become dependent on public cash
assistance such CalWORKs, General Assistance, or Supplemental Security Income
(SSI). This determination is made by CIS when a person is adjusting their citizenship
status to lawful permanent resident. CalFresh is considered a supplemental nutrition
program and not a cash benefit. As a result CalFresh recipients are not a public charge.
There has, however, been a leaked notice of proposed rulemaking to change these rules
and to make several public benefit programs, including CalFresh, public benefit
programs.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 731
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 15
Elderly and / or Disabled Household Demonstration Projects
Standard Medical Deduction
Effective October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2021 a standard medical deduction of
$120 will be issued for households in which an elderly or disabled member incurs
medical expenses in excess of $35 per month. Households with an elderly or disabled
member include those with at least one individual who is 60 years of age or older and/or
disabled and/or receives a disability based benefit. To be eligible, the household must
verify that they incur more than $35 a month in qualifying medical expenses.
Households with more than $155 a month may opt out to document and claim actual
expenses. Since the implementation of this new policy there are currently 1,876
households utilizing this deduction.
Elderly Simplified Application
Effective October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2021 a simplified application process
has been approved in an attempt at improving CalFresh access among the state ’s low
income elderly and disabled population. The project waives the recertification intervie w
requirement, uses existing data matches to reduce verification requests, and extends the
certification period to 36 months. The project applies to households where all members
are either elderly (age 60 or older) and/or disabled with no earned income. The project
does not apply to other CalFresh participants. Since the implementation of this new
policy, the 36-month certification has been approved for a total of 1,392 households.
VIII. Disaster CalFresh
As a result of the significant increase of disasters combined with record breaking
destruction, California created Assembly Bill AB 607, community Resiliency and Disaster
Preparedness Act of 2017. In accordance with AB 607, the Bay Area Social
Services Consortium (BASSC) is developing a social services mutual aid plan. The plan is
a work in progress and includes Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San
Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma County. It is
anticipated that the agreement will be officially incorporated into the Department and
CDSS disaster plan for FFY 2020.
An example of mutual aid agreement can be seen in the 2017 Northern California wildfires
as California was approved to operate Disaster CalFresh (D-CF) October 25 through
November 1, 2017 in seven counties: Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Sonoma and
Yuba counties. D-CF provides individuals and families impacted by the wildfires and
displaced outside of the disaster area with access to D-CF. These benefits provide temporary
food assistance for one month to eligible disaster impacted households who do not already
receive CF. It also facilitates the issuance of supplemental CF benefits for ongoing CF
households up to the maximum monthly allotment for one month.
To be eligible for D-CF a household must have lived or worked in the identified disaster
area at the time of the disaster, plan to purchase food during the benefit period, experienced
adverse effects due to the disaster and meet D-CF income guidelines.
10/9/18 BOS minutes 732
CalFresh Report to FHS for 09.24.18 - Page 16
Due to Sonoma County systems being down, the CalWIN counties leveraged the ACA Call
Center capabilities and established the D-CF Call Center. CCC, along with six (6) additional
counties, was provided access to the Sonoma County CalWIN region. CCC also provided
support by sending staff to Sonoma County to assist in interviewing and processing D-CF
applications.
Sonoma County has issued: 1) replacement benefits to 3,147 households using an automated
Mass Replacement Benefits process, 2) Issued mass supplemental D-CF to 5,111
households on 10/25/17, and 3) approved 1,207 households for D-CF and 5,227 households
for Supplemental D-CF.
X. Important Next Steps
The Department remains committed to providing timely and ready access to CalFresh
benefits for those with food insecurity, and in continuing to serve our CalFresh customers
in a timely and accurate manner. Although our staffing challenges will prevent us from
embarking on these improvements as robustly as we would like, we have a continual
improvement objective in the areas of outreach, access, enrollment, and services delivery.
Part of this objective is to continue our community outreach efforts and to work even more
closely with our community partners to expand access to CalFresh benefits. Expanding
access includes our continued rollout of electronic and other alternative means for applying
for benefits despite our staffing reductions. We will also continue our efforts to further
streamline our CalFresh application and benefits renewal process, and will continue to work
on increasing knowledge and awareness of the CalFresh program throughout and to targeted
areas within the County.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/515 approving and authorizing the District Attorney, or designee, to submit
an application and execute a grant award agreement and any extensions or amendments thereof, pursuant to
State guidelines, with the California Department of Insurance for the 2018/19 Workers' Compensation
Insurance Fraud Prosecution Program grant in an amount not to exceed $1,269,335 for the investigation and
prosecution of workers' compensation fraud cases for the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, the District Attorney's office will receive $1,269,335 of 100% State revenue. No County
match.
BACKGROUND:
The State Legislature has determined that one of the significant factors driving up the cost of workers'
compensation 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. The cost of insurance is a factor in
the high cost of doing business in the State. SB 1218 (Presley) was enacted to provide resources for
enforcement of current laws. If the grant is approved,

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY REPORT NO. 1809
"Community Reentry from Jail”
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ’ SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE
RECOMMENDATIONS - California Penal Code Section 933.05(b) requires a response
to the designated recommendations of the Grand Jury.
R7. The BOS should consider seeking funds, in time for the FY2019-2020
budget cycle, for additional social service workers in the Office of the
Public Defender in support of reentry planning and implementation.
Response: This recommendation requires further analysis. When directing
County resources, the Board must consider, on a case-by-case basis in the
context of all related factors, which needs will receive priority during the budget
development process. The County Department of Employment and Human
Services employs Social Workers that are available to assist in issues that might
arise in the Public Defender’s Office.
R8. The BOS should consider seeking funds, in time for the FY2019-2020
budget cycle, for resources in the Office of the Public Defender to address
the backlog of roughly 10,000 reclassification cases seeking to petition the
court to clear their criminal record.
Response: This recommendation requires further analysis. When directing
County resources, the Board must consider, on a case-by-case basis in the
context of all related factors, which needs will receive priority. The County budget
process begins in January and concludes in May of each year. As part of that
process, the Board must consider funding needs from across the County during
the budget process. For this reason, we cannot formally commit to funding
expenditure appropriations.
