procedures in cases of disagreement, arbitration referral and expenses, and
criteria for determination shall conform to Board of Supervisor's Resolution
81/1165.
SECTION 3 - NO DISCRIMINATION/AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
There shall be no discrimination because of sex, race, creed, color, national origin,

employment by the County or by anyone employed by the County; and to the extent
prohibited by applicable State and Federal law there shall be no discrimination because
of age. There shall be no discrimination against any disabled person solely because of
such disability unless that disability prevents the person from meeting the minimum
standards established for the position or from carrying out the duties of the position
safely.
The Employer and the Association recognize that under the Americans With Disabilities
Act (“ADA”) the Employer has an obligation to reasonably accommodate disabled
employees. If because of that requirement the Employer contemplates actions to
reasonably accommodate an employee that conflict with any provision of this
Agreement, the County will advise the Association of such proposed accommodation.
Upon request, the County will meet and confer with the Association on the impact of
such accommodation.
If the County and the Association do not reach agreement, the County may implement
the accommodation if required by law without further negotiations. Nothing in this MOU
shall preclude the County from taking actions necessary to comply with the
requirements of ADA.

employee(s) is required, including meetings of the Board of Supervisors and
Retirement Board where items which are within the scope of representation and

4.2 Association-Sponsored Training Programs. The County shall provide a
maximum of forty-eight (48) hours per year of release time for Association designated
stewards or officers to attend Association-sponsored training programs. Time

provided however, when the appointment or transfer is effective on the
employee's first regularly scheduled work day of that month, his/her anniversary
date is one (1) year after the first calendar day of that month.
5.4 Steps Within Range. The performance of each employee, except those of
employees already at the maximum salary step of the appropriate salary range, shall be
reviewed on the anniversary date as set forth in subsection 5.3 (Anniversary Dates) to
determine whether the salary of the employee shall be advanced to the next higher step
in the salary range. Advancement shall be granted on the affirmative recommendation
of the appointing authority, based on satisfactory performance by the employee. The
appointing authority may recommend denial of the step or denial of the step subject to
one additional review at a specified later date that falls before the employee’s next
anniversary. Such later date must be established when the original recommendation is
returned to the employee. Except as provided herein, steps within range shall not be
granted more frequently than once a year, nor shall more than one (1) step within range
be granted at one time. If the appointing authority recommends denial of the within
range step advancement on the employee’s anniversary date, but recommends a
special salary review at a later date before the employee’s next anniversary date, the
special salary review shall not affect the regular salary review on the employee’s next
anniversary date. Nothing herein shall be construed to mandate that the County grant
step advancement. If the employee’s department attests in writing that it made an
administrative or clerical error by failing to submit the documents needed to advance an
employee to the next salary step on the first of the month when the employee was
eligible for the advancement, said advancement shall take effect retroactive and
including the first of the month in which the employee was first eligible for the
advancement.
5.5 Part-Time Compensation. A part-time employee shall be paid a monthly salary
in the same ratio to the full-time monthly rate to which the employee would be entitled
as a fulltime employee under the provisions of this Section 5 (Salaries), as the number
of hours per week in the employee's part-time work schedule bears to the number of
hours in the full-time work schedule of the department.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 53
5.6 Compensation for Portion of Month. Any employee who works less than any
full calendar month, except when on earned vacation or authorized sick leave, shall
receive as compensation for services an amount which is in the same ratio to the
established monthly rate as the number of days
worked is to the actual working days in such employee's normal work schedule for the
particular month; but if the employment is intermittent, compensation shall be on an
hourly basis.
5.7 Position Reclassification. An employee who is an incumbent of a position
which is reclassified to a class which is allocated to the same range of the basic salary
schedule as is the class of the position before it was reclassified, shall be paid at the
same step of the range as the employee received under the previous classification.
An incumbent of a position which is reclassified to a class which is allocated to a lower
range of the basic salary schedule shall continue to receive the same salary as before
the reclassification, but if such salary is greater than the maximum of the range of the
class to which the position has been reclassified, the salary of the incumbent shall be
reduced to the maximum salary for the new classification. The salary of an incumbent
of a position which is reclassified to a class which is allocated to a range of the basic
salary schedule greater than the range of the class of the position before it was
reclassified shall be governed by the provisions of subsection 5.9 (Salary on
Promotion).
5.8 Salary Reallocation & Salary on Reallocation.
A. In a general salary increase or decrease, an employee in a class which is
reallocated to a salary range above or below that to which it was previously
allocated, when the number of steps remain the same, shall be compensated at
the same step in the new salary range the employee was receiving in the range
to which the class was previously allocated. If the reallocation is from one salary
range with more steps to a range with fewer steps or vice versa, the employee
shall be compensated at the step on the new range which is in the same
percentage ratio to the top step of the new range as was the salary received
before reallocation to the top step of the old range, but in no case shall any
employee be compensated at less than the first step of the range to which the
class is allocated.
B. If a classification is reallocated from a salary range with more steps to a salary
range with fewer steps on the salary schedule, apart from the general salary
increase or decrease described in subsection 5.8 (Salary Reallocation & Salary
on Reallocation) paragraph A, each incumbent of a position in the reallocated
class shall be placed upon the step of the new range which equals the rate of pay
received before the reallocation. If the steps in the new range do not contain the
same rates as the old range, each incumbent shall be placed at the step of the
new range which is next above the salary rate received in the old range, or if the
new range does not contain a higher step, at the step which is next lower than
the salary received in the old range.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 54
C. If an employee is in a position which is reallocated to a different class allocated to
a salary range the same as above or below the salary range of the employee's
previous class, the incumbent shall be placed at the step in the new class which
equals the rate of pay received before reallocation. If the steps in the range for
the new class do not contain the same rates as the range for the old class, the
incumbent shall be placed at the step of the new range which is next above the
salary rate received in the old range; or if the new range does not contain a
higher step, the incumbent shall be placed at the step which is next lower than
the salary.
5.9 Salary on Promotion. Any employee who is appointed to a position of a class
allocated to a higher salary range than the class previously occupied, except as
provided under Section 5.12 (Pay for Work in a Higher Classification), shall receive the
salary in the new salary range which is next higher than the rate received before
promotion. If this increase is less than five percent (5%), the employee's salary shall be
adjusted to the step in the new range which is at least five percent (5%) greater than the
next higher step; provided however that the next step shall not exceed the maximum
salary for the higher class. Upon appointment of a laid off employee from the layoff list
to the class from which the employee was laid off, the employee shall be appointed at
the step which the employee had formerly attained in the higher class unless such step
results in a decrease in which case the employee is appointed to the next higher step.
If, however, the employee is being appointed into a class allocated to a higher salary
range than the class from which the employee was laid off, salary will be calculated
from the highest step the employee achieved prior to layoff, or from the employee’s
current step, whichever is higher.
5.10 Salary on Involuntary Demotion. Any employee who is demoted, except as
provided under subsection 5.11 (Salary on Voluntary Demotion), shall have his/her
salary reduced to the monthly salary step in the range for the class of position to which
he/she has been demoted next lower than the salary received before demotion. If this
decrease is less than five percent (5%), the employee's salary shall be adjusted to the
step in the new range which is five percent (5%) less than the next lower step; provided,
however, that the next step shall not be less than the minimum salary for the lower
class. Whenever the demotion is the result of layoff, cancellation of positions or
displacement by another employee with greater seniority rights, the salary of the
demoted employee shall be that step on the salary range which he/she would have
achieved had he/she been continuously in the position to which he/she has been
demoted, all within-range increments having been granted.
5.11 Salary on Voluntary Demotion. Whenever any employee voluntarily demotes
to a position in a class having a salary schedule lower than that of the class from which
he or she demotes, his or her salary shall remain the same if the steps in his or her new
(demoted) salary range permit, and if not, the new salary shall be set at the step next
below former salary.
5.12 Pay for Work in Higher Classification. When an employee in a permanent
position in the merit system is required to work in a classification for which the
compensation is greater than that to which the employee is regularly assigned, the
employee shall receive compensation for such work at the rate of pay established for
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 55
the higher classification pursuant to subsection 5.9 (Salary on Promotion) of this
Memorandum of Understanding, at the start of the second full day in the assignment,
under the following conditions. Payment shall be made retroactive after completing the
first forty (40) consecutive hours worked in the higher classification.
A. When an employee is assigned to a program, service or activity established by
the Board of Supervisors which is reflected in an authorized position which has
been classified and assigned to the Salary Schedule.
B. The nature of the departmental assignment is such that the employee in the
lower classification performs a majority of the duties and responsibilities of the
position of the higher classification.
C. Employee selected for the assignment will normally be expected to meet the
minimum qualifications for the higher classification.
D. The County shall make reasonable efforts to offer out of class assignments to all
interested employees on a voluntary basis. Pay for work in a higher classification
shall not be utilized as a promotional procedure provided in this Memorandum of
Understanding.
E. Higher pay assignments shall not exceed six (6) months except through
reauthorization.
F. If approval is granted for pay for work in a higher classification and the
assignment is terminated and later re-approved for the same employee within
one hundred eighty days (180) no additional waiting period will be required.
G. Any incentives (e.g., the education incentive) and special differentials (e.g.,
bilingual differential) accruing to the employee in his/her permanent position shall
continue.
H. During the period of work for higher pay in a higher classification, an employee
will retain his/her permanent classification, and anniversary and salary review
dates will be determined by time in that classification; except that if the period of
work for higher pay in a higher classification exceeds one year continuous
employment, the employee, upon satisfactory performance in the higher
classification, shall be eligible for a salary review in that class on his/her next
anniversary date. Notwithstanding any other salary regulations, the salary step
placement of employees appointed to the higher class immediately following
termination of the assignment, shall remain unchanged.
I. Allowable overtime pay, shift differentials and/or work location differentials will be
paid on the basis of the rate of pay for the higher class.
5.13 Lead Juvenile Institution Officer. Permanent full-time and permanent
intermittent employees in the classifications of Juvenile Institution Officer I (7KWB),
Juvenile Institution Officer II (7KVB), and Juvenile Institution Officer III (7KTB) in County
juvenile institutions and treatment programs will receive a shift differential of seven and
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 56
one-half percent (7.5%) of the employee’s base hourly rate of pay for all hours worked
when assigned as "Lead Juvenile Institution Officer" for their unit or dormitory.
The same shift differential will also apply when:
• replacing an employee in the classification of Institutional Supervisor II (7KGA)
who is assigned to the Juvenile Hall (Org. # 3120), or
• replacing an employee in the classification of Institutional Supervisor I (7KHA)
who is assigned to Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility. (Org. # 3160).
Facility administrators have the sole responsibility for selecting and assigning Lead
Juvenile Institution Officers. The selection process shall include an assessment of
experience, skills, leadership abilities, seniority, and the needs of the unit or facility
among other considerations. The selection and assignment of Juvenile Institution
Officers in accordance with the above criteria is not grievable.
5.14 Payment. On the tenth (10th) day of each month, the Auditor will draw a warrant
upon the Treasurer in favor of each employee for the amount of salary due the
employee for the preceding month; provided however, that each employee (except
those paid on an hourly rate) may choose to receive an advance on the employee's
monthly salary, in which case the Auditor shall, on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each
month, draw his/her warrant upon the Treasurer in favor of such employee. The
advance shall be in an amount equal to one-third (1/3) or less (at the option of the
employee) of the employee's basic salary of the previous month except that it shall not
exceed the amount of the previous month's basic salary less all requested or required
deductions. The election to receive the advance shall be made on the prescribed form
(form M-208, revised 5/81) and submitted by the fifteenth (15th) of the month to the
department payroll clerk who will forward the card with the Salary Advance
Transmittal/Deviation Report to the Auditor-Controller (Payroll Section). Such an

(excluding overtime days or a change of shift assignment), or change existing
work schedules or existing hours of work, it will meet and confer with the
Association prior to implementing said new shift or hours change. This obligation

SECTION 7 - OVERTIME AND COMPENSATORY TIME
7.1 Overtime.
A. Permanent full-time and part-time employees will be paid overtime pay or
overtime compensatory time off for any authorized work performed:
1) in excess of forty (40) hours per week; or
2) in excess of eight (8) hours per day and that exceed the employee’s daily
number of scheduled hours. For example, an employee who is scheduled
to work ten (10) hours per day and who works eleven (11) hours on a
particular day will be paid one (1) hour of overtime.
Work performed does not include non-worked hours. Overtime pay is
compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee's base
rate of pay (not including shift and any other special differentials). Any special
differentials that are applicable during overtime hours worked will be computed
on the employee’s base rate of pay, not on the overtime rate of pay.
Overtime for permanent employees is earned and credited in a minimum of one-
minute increments and is compensated by either pay or compensatory time off.
B. Permanent Intermittent and temporary employees will be paid overtime pay for
any authorized work performed in excess of forty (40) hours per week or in
excess of eight (8) hours per day. Work performed does not include non-worked
hours. Overtime pay is compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1.5) times
the employee’s hourly base rate of pay (not including shift or any other special
differentials). Any special differentials that are applicable during overtime hours
worked will be computed on the employee’s base hourly rate of pay, not on the
overtime rate of pay.
C. Permanent full-time and part-time employees in the classification of Institutional
Supervisor I (7KHA) who are assigned to Juvenile Hall (Org# 3120) or Orin Allen
Youth Rehabilitation Facility (Org# 3160) are eligible to receive overtime pay or
overtime compensatory time off for any authorized work performed. All other
Institutional Supervisor I (7KHA) employees and employees in the classification
of Probation Supervisor I (7AHA) are not eligible to receive the overtime pay,
straight time pay or compensatory time described in this Section 7. In lieu of
overtime pay, straight time pay or compensatory time; these employees will

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 61
7.2 Overtime Compensatory Time. The following provisions shall apply:
A. Employees may annually elect to accrue overtime compensatory time off in lieu
of overtime pay. Eligible employees who elect to receive compensatory time off
must agree to do so for a full fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). The employee
must notify their departmental payroll staff of any change in the election by May
31 of each year.
B. The names of those employees electing to accrue compensatory time off shall be
placed on a list maintained by the Department. Employees who become eligible
(i.e., newly hired employees, employees promoting, demoting, etc.) for
compensatory time off in accordance with these guidelines, after the list has been
compiled, will be paid for authorized overtime and straight time hours worked until
the preparation of the next annual list.
C. Compensatory time off shall be accrued at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2)
times the actual authorized overtime hours worked by the employee.
D. Employees may not accrue a compensatory time off balance that exceeds one
hundred twenty (120) hours (i.e., eighty [80] hours at time and one-half). Once
the maximum balance has been attained, authorized overtime hours will be paid
at the overtime rate. If the employee's balance falls below one hundred twenty
(120) hours, the employee shall again accrue compensatory time off for
authorized overtime hours worked until the employee's balance again reaches
one hundred twenty (120) hours.
E. Accrued compensatory time off shall be carried over for use in the next fiscal
year; however, as provided in d above, accrued compensatory time off balances
may not exceed one hundred twenty (120) hours.
F. The use of accrued compensatory time off shall be by mutual agreement
between the Department Head or his/her designee and the employee.
Compensatory time off shall not be taken when the employee should be replaced
by another employee who would be eligible to receive, for time worked, either
overtime payment or compensatory time accruals as provided for in this Section.
This provision may be waived at the discretion of the Department Head or his or
her designee.
G. When an employee promotes, demotes, or transfers from one classification
eligible for compensatory time off to another classification eligible for
compensatory time off within the same department, the employee's accrued
compensatory time off balance will be carried forward with the employee.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 62
H. Compensatory time accrual balances will be paid off when an employee moves
from one department to another through promotion, demotion or transfer. Said
payoff will be made in accordance with the provisions and salary of the class from
which the employee is promoting, demoting or transferring as set forth in
paragraph I below.
I. Since employees accrue compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half
(1-1/2) hours for each hour of authorized overtime worked, they shall be paid
their accrued hours of compensatory time at the straight time rate of pay
whenever:
1. The employee changes status and is no longer eligible for compensatory
time off.
2. The employee promotes, demotes or transfers to another department.
3. The employee separates from County service.
4. The employee retires.
J. The Office of the County Auditor-Controller will establish timekeeping procedures
to administer this Section.
7.3 Straight Time Pay and Straight Time Compensatory Time.
A. Permanent full-time and part-time employees are eligible to receive straight time
pay or straight time compensatory time off for hours worked in excess of the
employee’s daily number of scheduled hours that do not qualify for overtime pay
as described in Section 7.1, above.
B. Straight time pay is calculated at the rate of one (1.0) times the employee’s base
rate of pay (not including differentials or shift pays).
C. Straight time compensatory time off is accrued at the rate of one (1.0) times the
number of straight time hours worked as defined in 7.3.A. above. The election of
compensatory time off for overtime hours in lieu of overtime pay means that the
employee also elects to receive compensatory time off for straight time hours in
lieu of straight time pay. An employee cannot elect to receive straight time
compensatory time off for straight time hours if the employee does not also elect
to receive compensatory time off for overtime hours, and vice versa. For
employees who receive straight time compensatory time off in lieu of straight
time pay, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 7.3, the rules for
administration of compensatory time off described in Section 7.2, above, apply to
straight time compensatory time off.
SECTION 8 - CALL BACK TIME PAY
A permanent full-time or permanent part-time employee who is called back to duty will
be paid for Call Back Time. Call Back Time occurs when an employee is not scheduled
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 63
to work and is not on County premises, but is called back to work on County premises
or for a County work assignment. An employee called back to work will be paid Call
Back Time Pay at the rate of one and one-half (1.5) times his/her base rate of pay (not
including differentials) for the actual Call Back Time worked plus one (1) hour. An
employee called back to work will be paid a minimum of two (2) hours for each Call
Back Time event.
SECTION 9 - SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL
A. Permanent full-time and permanent part-time employees:
1. Permanent full-time and permanent part-time employees will receive a
shift differential of five percent (5%) for the employee’s entire scheduled
shift when the employee is scheduled to work for four (4) or more hours
between 5:00p.m. and 9:00a.m.
2. In order to receive the shift differential, the employee must start work
between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. and midnight
on the day the shift is scheduled to begin. Hours worked in excess of the
employee’s scheduled workday will count towards qualifying for the shift
differential, but the employee will not be paid the shift differential on any
excess hours worked.
3. Employees who commence a vacation, paid sick leave period, paid
disability or other paid leave immediately after working a shift that qualifies
for the shift differential, will have the shift differential included in computing
the pay for their time on paid leave. Employees on a rotating shift
schedule who commence a vacation, paid sick leave, paid disability, or
other paid leave will be paid the shift differential that they would have
received had the employees worked the scheduled shift during the period
of paid leave. Shift differential shall only be paid during paid sick leave
and paid disability leave as provided above for the first thirty (30) calendar
days of each absence.
B. Permanent Intermittent and Temporary employees:
1. Permanent Intermittent and temporary employees will receive a shift
differential of five percent (5%) for a maximum of eight (8) hours per work
day and/or forty (40) hours per workweek when the employee works four
(4) or more hours between 5:00p.m. and 9:00a.m.
2. In order to receive the shift differential, the employee must start work
between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. and midnight
on the day the shift is scheduled to begin. Hours worked in excess of
eight (8) hours in a workday will count towards qualifying for the shift
differential, but the employee will not be paid the shift differential on any
excess hours worked.

SECTION 10 - WORKFORCE REDUCTION/LAYOFF/REASSIGNMENT
10.1 Workforce Reduction. If funding reductions or shortfalls in funding occur in a
department or are expected, which may result in layoffs, the department will notify the
Association and take the following actions:
A. Identify the classification(s) in which position reductions may be required due to
funding reductions or shortfalls.
B. Advise employees in those classifications that position reductions may occur in
their classifications.
C. Accept voluntary leaves of absence from employees in those classifications
which do not appear to be potentially impacted by possible position reductions
when such leaves can be accommodated by the department.
D. Consider employee requests to reduce their position hours from full-time to part-
time to alleviate the impact of the potential layoffs.
E. Approve requests for reduction in hours, lateral transfers, and voluntary
demotions to vacant, funded positions in classes not scheduled for layoffs within
the department, as well as to other departments not experiencing funding
reductions or shortfalls when it is a viable operational alternative for the
department(s).
F. Review various alternatives which will help mitigate the impact of the layoff by
working through the Tactical Employment Team (TET) program to:
1. Maintain an employee skills inventory bank to be used as a basis for
referrals to other employment opportunities.
2. Determine if there are other positions to which employees may be
transferred.
3. Refer interested persons to vacancies which occur in other job classes for
which they qualify and can use their layoff eligibility.
4. Establish workshops to aid laid off employees in areas such as resume
preparation, alternate career counseling, job search strategy, and
interviewing skills.
G. When it appears to the Department Head and/or Chief of Labor Relations (or
designee) that the Board of Supervisors may take action which will result in the
layoff of employees in the Probation representation unit, the Chief of Labor
Relations (or designee) shall notify the Association of the possibility of such
layoffs and shall meet and confer with the Association regarding the
implementation of the action.

10.2 Separation Through Layoff.
A. Grounds for Layoff. Any employee(s) having permanent status in position(s) in
the merit service may be laid off when the position is no longer necessary, or for
reasons of economy, lack of work, lack of funds or for such other reason(s) as the
Board of Supervisors deems sufficient for abolishing the position(s).
B. Order of Layoff. The order of layoff in a department shall be based on inverse
seniority in the class of positions, the employee in that department with least
seniority being laid off first and so on.
C. Layoff By Displacement.
1. In the Same Class. A laid off permanent full-time employee may displace
an employee in the department having less seniority in the same class
who occupies permanent intermittent or permanent part-time position, the
least senior employee being displaced first.
2. In the Same Level or Lower Class. A laid off or displaced employee who
had achieved permanent status in a class at the same or lower salary level
as determined by the salary schedule in effect at the time of layoff may
displace within the department and in the class an employee having less
seniority; the least senior employee being displaced first, and so on with
senior displaced employees displacing junior employees.
D. Particular Rules on Displacing.
1. Permanent-intermittent and permanent part-time employees may displace
only employees holding permanent positions of the same type
respectively.
2. A permanent full-time employee may displace any intermittent or part-time
employee with less seniority.
a. In the same class as provided in Section 10.2 (Separation Through
Layoff) paragraph C subparagraph 1 (In the Same Class) or,
b. In a class of the same or lower salary level as provided in Section
10.2 (Separation Through Layoff) paragraph C subparagraph 2 (In
the Same Level or Lower Class), if no fulltime employee in a class
at the same or lower salary level has less seniority than the
displacing employees.
3. Former permanent full-time employees who have voluntarily become
permanent part time employees for the purpose of reducing the impact of a
proposed layoff with the written approval of the Director of Human
Resources or designee retain their permanent full-time employee seniority
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 66
rights for layoff purposes only and may in a later layoff displace a full-time
employee with less seniority as provided in these rules.
E. Seniority.
1. An employee's seniority within a class for layoff and displacement
purposes shall be determined by adding the employee's length of service
in the particular class in question to the employee's length of service in
other classes at the same or higher salary levels as determined by the
salary schedule in effect at the time of layoff. Employees reallocated or
transferred without examination from one class to another class having a
salary within five percent of the former class, shall carry the seniority
accrued in the former class into the new class. Service for layoff and
displacement purposes includes only the employee's last continuous
permanent County employment. Periods of separation may not be bridged
to extend such service unless the separation is a result of layoff in which
case bridging will be authorized if the employee is reemployed in a
permanent position within the employee's layoff eligibility. Approved
leaves of absence as provided for in these rules and regulations shall not
constitute a period of separation. In the event of ties in seniority rights in
the particular class in question, such ties shall be broken by length of last
continuous permanent County employment. If there remain ties in
seniority rights, such ties shall be broken by counting total time in the
department in permanent employment. Any remaining ties shall be broken
by random selection among the employees involved.
2. Seniority for layoffs, pursuant to this Section 10 (Workforce Reduction/
Layoff/Reassignment) and subsection 20.5 (Reassignment Due to Layoff
or Displacement) shall be based on series seniority rather than
classification seniority. The Juvenile Institution Officer series includes
Juvenile Institution Officer I, Juvenile Institution Officer II, and Juvenile
Institution Officer III. The Deputy Probation Officer series includes Deputy
Probation Officer I, Deputy Probation Officer II, and Deputy Probation
Officer III. The Probation Supervisor I and Institutional Supervisor I
classifications are not included in either series and are considered stand-
alone classifications. An employee’s seniority within a series for layoff,
displacement and reassignment purposes under subsection 19.6 (Seniority
Credit) shall be determined by adding the employee’s length of service in
the particular series in which the employee currently holds a position, to
the employee’s length of service in other classes at the same or higher
salary levels as determined by the salary schedule in effect at the time of
the layoff.
F. Eligibility for Layoff List. Whenever any person who has permanent status is laid
off, has been displaced, has been demoted by displacement or as voluntarily
demoted in lieu of layoff or displacement, or has transferred in lieu of layoff or
displacement, the person's name shall be placed on the Layoff List for the class
of positions from which that person has been removed.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 67
G. Order of Names on Layoff. First, layoff lists shall contain the names of persons
laid off, displaced, or demoted because of a layoff or displacement, or who have
voluntarily demoted or transferred in lieu of layoff or displacement. Names shall
be listed in order of layoff seniority in the class from which laid off, displaced,
demoted, or transferred on the date of layoff, the most senior person listed first.
In case of ties in seniority, the seniority rules shall apply except that where there
is a class seniority tie between persons laid off from different departments, the
tie(s) shall be broken by length of last continuous permanent County employment
with remaining ties broken by random selection among the employees involved.
H. Duration of Layoff & Reemployment Rights. The name of any person granted
reemployment privileges shall continue on the appropriate list for a period of two
(2) years. Persons placed on layoff lists shall continue on the appropriate list for
a period of two (2) years.
I. Certification of Persons From Layoff Lists. Layoff lists contain the name(s) of
person(s) laid off, displaced or demoted by displacement or voluntarily demoted
in lieu of layoff or displacement or transferred in lieu of layoff or displacement.
When a request for personnel is received from the appointing authority of a
department from which an eligible(s) was laid off, the appointing authority shall
receive and appoint the eligible highest on the layoff list from the department.
When a request for personnel is received from a department from which an
eligible(s) was not laid off, the appointing authority shall receive and appoint the
eligible highest on the layoff list who shall be subject to a probationary period. A
person employed from a layoff list shall be appointed at the same step of the
salary range the employee held on the day of layoff.
J. Removal of Names from Layoff Lists. The Director of Human Resources may
remove the name of any eligible from a layoff list for any reason listed below:
1. For any cause stipulated in Section 404.1 (Causes for Disqualification) of
the Personnel Management Regulations.
2. On evidence that the eligible cannot be located by postal authorities.
3. On receipt of a statement from the appointing authority or eligible that the
eligible declines certification or indicates no further desire for appointment
in the class.
4. If three (3) offers of permanent appointment to the class for which the
eligible list was established have been declined by the eligible.
5. If the eligible fails to respond to the Director of Human Resources or the
appointing authority within ten (10) days to written notice of certification
mailed to the person's last known address. If the person on the
reemployment or layoff list is appointed to another position in the same or
lower classification, the name of the person shall be removed. However, if
the first permanent appointment of a person on a layoff list is to a lower
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 68
class which has a top step salary lower than the top step of the class from
which the person was laid off, the name of the person shall not be
removed from the layoff list. Any subsequent appointment of such person
from the layoff list shall result in removal of that person's name.
K. Removal of Names from Reemployment and Layoff certifications. The Director of
Human Resources may remove the name of any eligible from a reemployment or
layoff certification if the eligible fails to respond within five (5) days to a written
notice of certification mailed to the person's last known address.
10.3 Notice. The County agrees to give employees scheduled for layoff at least ten
(10) work days notice prior to their last day of employment.
10.4 Special Employment Lists. The County will establish a Tactical Employment
Team (T.E.T.) employment pool which will include the names of all laid off County
employees. Special employment lists for job classes may be established from the pool.
Persons placed on a special employment list must meet the minimum qualifications for
the class. An appointment from such a list will not affect the individual's status on a
layoff list(s). Employees in the T.E.T. employment pool shall be guaranteed a job
interview for any vacant funded position for which they meet minimum qualifications. If
there are more than five such employees who express an interest for one vacant funded
position, the five most senior employees shall be interviewed. Seniority for this
subsection shall be County seniority.
10.5 Reassignment of Laid Off Employees. Employees who are displaced within
the same classification or within the Juvenile Institution Officer series or within the
Probation Officer series from fulltime to part-time or intermittent status in a layoff, or who
voluntarily reduced their work hours to reduce the impact of layoff, or who accepted a
position of another status than that from which they were laid off upon referral from the
layoff list, may request reassignment back to their pre-layoff status (full time or part-time
or increased hours). The request must be in writing in accord with each department's
reassignment bid or selection process. Employees will be advised of the reassignment
procedure to be followed to obtain reassignment back to their former status at the time
of the workforce reduction. The most senior laid off employee in this status who
requests such a reassignment will be selected for the vacancy; except when a more
senior laid off individual remains on the layoff list and has not been appointed back to
the class from which laid off, a referral from the layoff list will be made to fill the
vacancy.

1. An employee’s Service Award Date is February 24, 1987
2. The employee reached twenty (20) years of service on February 24, 2007;
3. March 1, 2007 is the date on which the employee is eligible to begin
accruing 16.66 hours of vacation time each month.
4. The increased vacation hours will appear on the employee’s April 10, 2007
pay warrant.
12.4 Accrual During Leave Without Pay. No employee who has been granted a
leave without pay or unpaid military leave shall accrue any vacation credit during the
time of such leave, nor shall an employee who is absent without pay accrue vacation
credit during the absence.
12.5 Vacation Allowance for Separated Employees. On separation from County
service, an employee shall be paid for any unused vacation credits at the employee's
then current pay rate.
12.6 Vacation Preference. Use of vacation accruals is by mutual agreement between
the employee and the supervisor and preference of vacation shall be given to
employees according to their seniority in their department as reasonably as possible
unless otherwise provided in the supplemental sections of this Memorandum of
Understanding.
SECTION 13 - SICK LEAVE
13.1 Purpose of Sick Leave. The primary purpose of paid sick leave is to ensure
employees against loss of pay for temporary absences from work due to illness or
injury. It is a benefit extended by the County and may be used only as authorized; it is
not paid time off which employees may use for personal activities.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 77
13.2 Credits to and Charges Against Sick Leave. Sick leave credits accrue at the
rate of eight (8) working hours credit for each completed month of service, as prescribed
by County Salary Regulations and this Memorandum of Understanding. Employees
who work a portion of a month are entitled to a pro rata share of the monthly sick leave
credit computed on the same basis as is partial month compensation. Credits to and
charges against sick leave are made in minimum amounts of one (1) minute
increments. Unused sick leave credits accumulate from year to year. When an
employee is separated other than through retirement, accumulated sick leave credits
shall be canceled, unless the separation results from layoff, in which case the
accumulated credits shall be restored if reemployed in a permanent position within the
period of layoff eligibility. As of the date of retirement, an employee's accumulated sick
leave is converted to retirement on the basis of one day of retirement service credit for
each day of accumulated sick leave credit.
13.3 Policies Governing the Use of Paid Sick Leave.
A. As indicated above, the primary purpose of paid sick leave is to ensure
employees against loss of pay for temporary absences from work due to illness
or injury. The following definitions apply:
1. "Immediate Family" means and includes only the spouse, son, stepson,
daughter, stepdaughter, father, stepfather, mother, stepmother, brother,
sister, grandparent, grandchild, niece, nephew, father-in-law, mother-in-
law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, foster
children, aunt, uncle, cousin, stepbrother, stepsister, or domestic partner of
an employee and/or includes any other person for whom the employee is
the legal guardian or conservator, or any person who is claimed as a
"dependent" for IRS reporting purposes by the employee.
2. "Employee" means any person employed by Contra Costa County in an
allocated position in the County service.
3. "Paid Sick Leave Credits" means those sick leave credits provided for by
County Salary Regulations and this Memorandum of Understanding.
4. "Condition/Reason". With respect to necessary verbal contacts and
confirmations which occur between the department and the employee
when sick leave is requested or verified, a brief statement in non-technical
terms from the employee regarding inability to work due to injury or illness
is sufficient.
B. Accumulated paid sick leave credits may be used, subject to appointing authority
approval, by an employee in pay status, but only in the following instances:
1. Temporary Illness or Injury of an Employee. Paid sick leave credits may
be used when the employee is off work because of a temporary illness or
injury.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 78
2. Permanent Disability Sick Leave. Permanent disability means the
employee suffers from a disabling physical injury or illness and is thereby
prevented from engaging in any County occupation for which the
employee is qualified by reason of education, training or experience. Sick
leave may be used by permanently disabled employees until all accruals of
the employee have been exhausted or until the employee is retired by the
Retirement Board, subject to the following conditions:
a. An application for retirement due to disability has been filed with the
Retirement Board.
b. Satisfactory medical evidence of such disability is received by the
appointing authority within 30 days of the start of use of sick leave
for permanent disability.
c. The appointing authority may review medical evidence and order
further examination as deemed necessary, and may terminate use
of sick leave when such further examination demonstrates that the
employee is not disabled, or when the appointing authority
determines that the medical evidence submitted by the employee is
insufficient, or where the above conditions have not been met.
3. Communicable Disease. An employee may use paid sick leave credits
when under a physician's order to remain secluded due to exposure to a
communicable disease.
4. Sick Leave Utilization for Pregnancy Disability. Employees whose
disability is caused or contributed to by pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion,
childbirth, or recovery there from, shall be allowed to utilize sick leave
credit to the maximum accrued by such employee during the period of
such disability under the conditions set forth below:
a. Application for such leave must be made by the employee to the
appointing authority accompanied by a written statement of disability
from the employee's attending physician. The statement must
address itself to the employee's general physical condition having
considered the nature of the work performed by the employee, and
it must indicate the date of the commencement of the disability as
well as the date the physician anticipates the disability to terminate.
b. If an employee does not apply for leave and the appointing authority
believes that the employee is not able to properly perform her work
or that her general health is impaired due to disability caused or
contributed to by pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, childbirth or
recovery there from the employee shall be required to undergo a
physical examination by a physician selected by the County.
Should the medical report so recommend, a mandatory leave shall
be imposed upon the employee for the duration of the disability.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 79
c. If all accrued sick leave has been utilized by the employee, the
employee shall be considered on leave without pay.
5. Medical and Dental Appointments. An employee may use paid sick leave
credits:
a. For working time used in keeping medical and dental appointments
for the employee's own care; and
b. For working time used by an employee for pre-scheduled medical
and dental appointments for an immediate family member.
6. Emergency Care of Family. An employee may use paid sick leave credits
for working time used in cases of illness or injury to an immediate family
member.
7. Death of Family Member. An employee may use paid sick leave credits
for working time used because of a death in the employee's immediate
family or of the employee’s domestic partner, but this shall not exceed
three (3) working days, plus up to two (2) days of work time for necessary
travel. Use of additional accruals including sick leave when appropriate
may be authorized in conjunction with the bereavement leave at the
discretion of the appointing authority.
8. Legal Adoption of a Child. Paid sick leave credits may be used by an
employee upon adoption of the child.
9. Baby/Child Bonding. Upon the birth or adoption of a child, an employee
eligible for baby-bonding leave pursuant to the California Family Rights Act
may use sick leave credits for such baby-bonding leave.
10. Accumulated paid sick leave credits may not be used in the following
situations:
a. Vacation. Paid sick leave credits may not be used for an
employee's illness or injury which occurs while he/she is on vacation
but the County Administrator may authorize it when extenuating
circumstances exist and the appointing authority approves.
b. Not in Pay Status. Paid sick leave credits may not be used when
the employee would otherwise be eligible to use paid sick leave
credits but is not in pay status.
13.4 Administration of Sick Leave. The proper administration of sick leave is a
responsibility of the employee and the department head. Unless otherwise provided in
the supplemental sections of this MOU, the following procedures apply:
A. Employee Responsibilities
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 80
1. Employees are responsible for notifying their department of an absence
prior to the commencement of their work shift or as soon thereafter as
possible. Notification shall include the reason and possible duration of the
absence.
2. Employees are responsible for keeping their department informed on a
continuing basis of their condition and probable date of return to work.
3. Employees are responsible for obtaining advance approval from their
supervisor for the scheduled time of pre-arranged personal or family
medical and dental appointment.
4. Employees are encouraged to keep the department advised of (1) a
current telephone number to which sick leave related inquiries may be
directed, and (2) any condition(s) and/or restriction(s) that may reasonably
be imposed regarding specific locations and/or persons the department
may contact to verify the employee's sick leave.
B. Department Responsibilities. The use of sick leave may properly be denied if
these procedures are not followed. Abuse of sick leave on the part of the
employee is cause for disciplinary action. Departmental approval of sick leave is
a certification of the legitimacy of the sick leave claim. The department head or
designee may make reasonable inquiries about employee absences. The
department may require medical verification for an absence of three (3) or more
working days. The department may also require medical verification for
absences of less than three (3) working days for probable cause if the employee
had been notified in advance in writing that such verification was necessary.
Inquiries may be made in the following ways:
1. Calling the employee's residence telephone number or other contact
telephone number provided by the employee if telephone notification was
not made in accordance with departmental sick leave call-in guidelines.
These inquiries shall be subject to any restrictions imposed by the
employee under subsection 13.4 (Administration of Sick Leave) paragraph
A.
2. Obtaining the employee's signature on the Absence/Overtime Record, or
on another form established for that purpose, as employee certification of
the legitimacy of the claim.
3. Obtaining the employee's written statement of explanation regarding the
sick leave claim.
4. Requiring the employee to obtain a physician's certificate or verification of
the employee's illness, date(s) the employee was incapacitated, and the
employee's ability to return to work, as specified above.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 81
5. In absences of an extended nature, requiring the employee to obtain from
their physician a statement of progress and anticipated date on which the
employee will be able to return to work, as specified above. Department
heads are responsible for establishing timekeeping procedures which will
insure the submission of a time card covering each employee absence
and for operating their respective offices in accordance with these policies
and with clarifying regulations issued by the Office of the County
Administrator. To help assure uniform policy application, the Director of
Human Resources or designated management staff of the County Human
Resources Department should be contacted with respect to sick leave
determinations about which the department is in doubt.
13.5 Disability.
A. An employee physically or mentally incapacitated for the performance of duty is
subject to dismissal, suspension or demotion, subject to the County Employees
Retirement Law of 1937. An appointing authority after giving notice may place an
employee on leave if the appointing authority has filed an application for disability
retirement for the employee, or whom the appointing authority believes to be
temporarily or permanently physically or mentally incapacitated for the
performance of the employee’s duties.
B. An appointing authority who has reasonable cause to believe that there are
physical or mental health conditions present in an employee which endanger the
health or safety of the employee, other employees, or the public, or which impair
the employee's performance of duty, may order the employee to undergo at
County expense and on the employees paid time a physical, medical examination
by a licensed physician and/or a psychiatric examination by a licensed physician
or psychologist, and receive a report of the findings on such examination. If the
examining physician or psychologist recommends that treatment for physical or
mental health problems, including leave, are in the best interests of the employee
or the County in relation to the employee overcoming any disability and/or
performing his or her duties the appointing authority may direct the employee to
take such leave and/or undergo such treatment.
C. Leave due to temporary or permanent disability shall be without prejudice to the
employee's right to use sick leave, vacation, or any other benefit to which the
employee is entitled other than regular salary. The Director of Human Resources
may order lost pay restored for good cause and subject to the employee's duty to
mitigate damages.
D. Before an employee returns to work from any absence for illness or injury, other
leave of absence or disability leave, exceeding two weeks in duration, the
appointing authority may order the employee to undergo at County expense a
physical, medical, and/or psychiatric examination by a licensed physician, and
may consider a report of the findings on such examination. If the report shows
that such employee is physically or mentally incapacitated for the performance of
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 82
duty, the appointing authority may take such action as he/she deems necessary
in accordance with appropriate provisions of this MOU.
E. Before an employee is placed on an unpaid leave of absence or suspended
because of physical or mental incapacity under subsection 13.5 (Disability)
paragraphs (A) or (B), the employee shall be given notice of the proposed leave
of absence or suspension by letter or memorandum, delivered personally or by
certified mail, containing the following:
1. A statement of the leave of absence or suspension proposed.
2. The proposed dates or duration of the leave or suspension which may be
indeterminate until a certain physical or mental health condition has been
attained by the employee.
3. A statement of the basis upon which the action is being taken.
4. A statement that the employee may review the materials upon which the
action is taken.
5. A statement that the employee has until a specified date (not less than
seven (7) work days from personal delivery or mailing of the notice) to
respond to the appointing authority orally or in writing.
F. Pending response to the notice the appointing authority for cause specified in
writing may place the employee on a temporary leave of absence with pay.
G. The employee to whom the notice has been delivered or mailed shall have seven
(7) work days to respond to the appointing authority either orally or in writing
before the proposed action may be taken.
H. After having complied with the notice requirements above, the appointing
authority may order the leave of absence or suspension in writing stating
specifically the basis upon which the action is being taken, delivering the order to
the employee either personally or by mail, effective either upon personal delivery
or deposit in the US Postal Service.
I. An employee who is placed on leave or suspended under this section may, within
ten (10) calendar days after personal delivery or mailing to the employee of the
order, appeal the order in writing through the Director of Human Resources to the
Merit Board. Alternatively, the employee may file a written election with the
Director of Human Resources waiving the employee's right to appeal to the Merit
Board in favor of appeal to a Disability Review Arbitrator.
J. In the event of an appeal either to the Merit Board or the Disability Review
Arbitrator, the employee has the burden of proof to show that either:
1. The physical or mental health condition cited by the appointing authority
does not exist, or
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 83
2. The physical or mental health condition does exist, but it is not sufficient to
prevent, preclude, or impair the employee's performance of duty, or is not
sufficient to endanger the health or safety of the employee, other
employees, or the public.
K. If the appeal is to the Merit Board, the order and appeal shall be transmitted by
the Director of Human Resources to the Merit Board for hearing under the Merit
Board's Procedures, Section 1114-1128 inclusive. Medical reports submitted in
evidence in such hearings shall remain confidential information and shall not be a
part of the public record.
L. If the appeal is to a Disability Review Arbitrator, the employee (and his
representative) will meet with the County's representative to mutually select the
Disability Review Arbitrator, who may be a de facto arbitrator, or a physician, or a
rehabilitation specialist, or some other recognized specialist mutually selected by
the parties. The arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be paid one-half by the
County and one-half by the employee or the employee’s Association. The
arbitrator shall hear and review the evidence. The decision of the Disability
Review Arbitrator shall be binding on both the County and the employee. The
scope of the arbitrator's review shall be as follows:
1. The arbitrator may affirm, modify or revoke the leave of absence or
suspension.
2. The arbitrator may make his decision based only on evidence submitted
by the County and the employee.
3. The arbitrator may order back pay or paid sick leave credits for any period
of leave of absence or suspension if the leave or suspension is found not
to be sustainable, subject to the employee's duty to mitigate damages.
13.6 Workers' Compensation.
A. Not Covered by Labor Code Section 4850. This subsection 13.6.A (Worker’s
Compensation) applies only to those on-the-job injuries or illnesses sustained by
employees who are not covered for such injury or illness under Labor Code
Section 4850:
1. Benefit Level. A permanent employee shall continue to receive the
appropriate percent of regular monthly salary for all accepted claims filed
before January 1, 2000, during any period of compensable temporary
disability absence not to exceed one year. For all accepted claims filed
with the County on or after January 1, 2000, the percentage of pay for
employees entitled to Workers’ Compensation shall be decreased from
87% to 86%. For all accepted claims filed with the County on or after
January 1, 2007, the percentage of pay for employees entitled to Workers’
Compensation shall be decreased from 86% to 80%. For all accepted
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 84
claims filed with the County on or after January 1, 2008, the percentage of
pay for employees entitled to Workers’ Compensation shall be decreased
from 80% to 75%. If Workers’ Compensation becomes taxable, the
County agrees to restore the original benefit level (100% of monthly
salary) and the parties shall meet and confer with respect to funding the
increased cost.
2. Waiting Period. There is a three (3) calendar day waiting period before
Workers' Compensation benefits commence. If the injured worker loses
anytime on the day of injury, that day counts as day one (1) of the waiting
period. If the injured worker does not lose time on the date of injury, the
waiting period will be the first three (3) calendar days the employee does
not work as a result of the injury. The time the employee is scheduled to
work during this waiting period will be charged to the employee's sick
leave and/or vacation accruals. In order to qualify for Workers'
Compensation the employee must be under the care of a physician.
Temporary compensation is payable on the first three (3) days of disability
when the injury necessitates hospitalization, or when the disability
exceeds fourteen (14) days.
3. Continuing Pay. A permanent employee shall receive the appropriate
percentage as outlined above of regular monthly salary during any period
of compensable temporary disability not to exceed one (1) year. Payment
of continuing pay and/or temporary disability compensation is made in
accordance with Part 2, Article 3 of the Workers’ Compensation Laws of
California. "Compensable temporary disability absence" for the purpose
of this Section, is any absence due to work connected disability which
qualifies for temporary disability compensation as set forth in Part 2,
Article 3 of the Workers’ Compensation Laws of California. When any
disability becomes medically permanent and stationary and/or reaches
maximum medical improvement, the salary provided by this Section shall
terminate. No charge shall be made against sick leave or vacation for
these salary payments. Sick leave and vacation rights shall not accrue for
those periods during which continuing pay is received. Employees shall
be entitled to a maximum of one (1) year of continuing pay benefits.
4. Termination of Continuing Pay. Continuing pay begins at the same time
that temporary Workers' Compensation benefits commence and continues
until either the member is declared medically permanent/stationary and/or
reaches maximum medical improvement, or until one (1) year of
continuing pay, whichever comes first provided the employee remains in
an active employed status. Continuing pay is automatically terminated on
the date an employee is separated from County service by resignation,
retirement, layoff, or the employee is no longer employed by the County.
In these instances, employees will be paid Workers’ Compensation
benefits as prescribed by Workers’ Compensation laws. All continuing
pay will be cleared through the County Administrator’s Office, Risk
Management Division. Whenever an employee who has been injured on
the job and has returned to work is required by an attending physician to
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 85
leave work for treatment during working hours the employee shall be
allowed time off up to three (3) hours for such treatment without loss of
pay or benefits, provided the employee notifies his/her supervisor of the
appointment at least three (3) working days prior to the appointment or as
soon as the employee becomes aware the appointment has been made.
Said visits are to be scheduled contiguous to either the beginning or end
of the scheduled work day whenever possible. This provision applies only
to injuries/illnesses that have been accepted by the County as work
related.
5. Extended Temporary Disability. If an injured employee remains eligible for
temporary disability beyond one year, applicable salary will continue by
integrating sick leave and/or vacation accruals with Workers'
Compensation benefits (vacation charges to be approved by the
department and the employee). If salary integration is no longer available,
Workers' Compensation benefits will be paid directly to the employee as
prescribed by Workers' Compensation laws.
6. Rehabilitation Integration. An injured employee who is eligible for
Workers' Compensation rehabilitation temporary disability benefits and
whose disability is medically permanent and stationary and/or reaches
maximum medical improvement, will continue to receive salary by
integrating sick leave and/or vacation accruals with Workers'
Compensation rehabilitation temporary disability benefits until those
accruals are exhausted. Thereafter, the rehabilitation temporary disability
benefits will be paid directly to the employee.
7. Health Insurance. The County contribution to the employee's group
insurance plan(s) continues during the continuing pay period and during
integration of sick leave or vacation with Workers' Compensation benefits.
8. Method of Integration. An employee's sick leave and/or vacation charges
shall be calculated as follows:
C = 8 [1 - (W÷S)]
C = Sick leave or vacation charge per day (in hours)
W = Statutory Workers' Compensation for a month
S = Monthly salary
For example:
W = $960 per month Workers' Compensation
S = $1667 per month salary
8 = 8 hours
C = Hours to be charged to Sick Leave
C = 8 [1 - ($960 ÷ $1,667)]
C = 8 [1 - (.5758)]
C = 8 (.4242)
C = 3.39
3 hours chargeable to sick leave
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 86
5 hours chargeable to Workers' Compensation
B. Covered By Section 4850. This subsection 13.6.B applies only to those on-the-
job injuries or illnesses sustained by employees who are covered for such injury
or illness under Labor Code Section 4850.
1. State Labor Code 4850 Pay. Law enforcement officers as defined in State
Labor Code 4850 who are members of the Contra Costa County
Retirement System continue to receive full salary benefits in lieu of
temporary disability during any absence from work which qualifies for
Workers Compensation benefits.
Currently, the maximum 4850 pay is one (1) year for any injury or illness.
To be eligible for this benefit the employee must be under the care of a
physician. All 4850 pay shall be approved by the County Administrator’s
Office, Risk Management Division.
2. Sick Leave and Vacation. Sick leave and vacation shall accrue in
accordance with the provision of State Labor Code 4850.
3. 4850 Pay Beyond One Year. If an injured employee remains eligible for
Worker’s Compensation temporary disability benefits beyond one year, full
salary will continue by integrating sick leave and/or vacation accruals with
Worker’s Compensation benefits (use of vacation accruals must be
approved by the department and the employee). If salary integration is no
longer available because accruals are exhausted, Worker’s Compensation
benefits will be paid directly to the employee as prescribed by Workers
Compensation laws.
4. Rehabilitation Integration. An injured employee who is eligible for
Worker’s Compensation rehabilitation temporary disability benefits and
who has exhausted 4850 pay eligibility will continue to receive full salary
by integrating sick leave and/or vacation accruals with Worker’s
Compensation rehabilitation temporary disability benefits. When these
accruals are exhausted, the rehabilitation temporary disability benefits will
be paid directly to the employee as prescribed by Workers Compensation
laws.
5. Health Insurance. The County contribution to the employee’s group
insurance plan(s) continues during the 4850 pay period and during
integration of sick leave or vacation wit Worker’s Compensation benefits.
6. Integration. An employee’s sick leave and/or vacation charges shall be
calculated as follows: C = 8 [1-(W ÷ S)]
C = Sick leave or vacation charge per day (in hrs.)
W = Statutory Workers’ Compensation for a month
S = Monthly salary
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 87
13.7 Accrual During Leave Without Pay. No employee who has been granted a
leave without pay or an unpaid military leave shall accrue any sick leave credits during
the time of such leave nor shall an employee who is absent without pay accrue sick
leave credits during the absence.
SECTION 14 - CATASTROPHIC LEAVE BANK
All employees are included in the Catastrophic Leave Bank and may designate a
portion of accrued vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time, or
personal holiday credit to be deducted from the donor’s existing balances and credited
to the bank or to a specific eligible employee.
14.1 Program Design. The County Human Resources Department will operate a
Catastrophic Leave Bank which is designed to assist any County employee who has
exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury, or condition
of the employee or family member. The program establishes and maintains a
Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to contribute may authorize that a
portion of his/her accrued vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or
floating holiday be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic
Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible employee or to
the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic Leave Bank may be transferred
to a requesting employee's sick leave account so that employee may remain in paid
status for a longer period, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness,
injury, or condition. Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical
condition, a long-term major physical impairment or disability which manifests itself
during employment.
14.2 Operation.
A. The plan will be administered under the direction of the Director of Human
Resources. The Human Resources Department will be responsible for receiving
and recording all donations of accruals and for initiating transfer of credits from
the bank to the recipient's sick leave account. Disbursement of accruals will be
subject to the approval of a six (6) member committee composed of three (3)
members appointed by the County Administrator and three (3) members
appointed by the majority representative employee organizations. The committee
will meet once a month if necessary to consider all requests for credits and shall
make determinations as to the appropriateness of the request. The committee
shall determine the amount of accruals to be awarded for employees whose
donations are nonspecific. Consideration of all requests by the committee will be
on an anonymous requester basis.
B. Hours transferred from the Catastrophic Leave Bank to a recipient will be in the
form of sick leave accruals and shall be treated as regular sick leave accruals.
To receive credits under this plan, an employee must have permanent status,
must have exhausted all time off accruals to a level below eight (8) hours total,
have applied for a medical leave of absence and have medical verification of
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 88
need. Donations are irrevocable unless the donation to the eligible employee is
denied. Donations may be made in hourly blocks with a minimum donation of not
less than four (4) hours per donation from balances in the vacation, holiday,
floating holiday, compensatory time, or holiday compensatory time accounts.
Employees who elect to donate to a specific individual shall have seventy-five
percent (75%) of their donation credited to the individual and twenty-five percent
(25%) credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank. Time donated will be converted
to a dollar value and the dollar value will be converted back to sick leave accruals
at the recipient's base hourly rate when disbursed. Credits will not be on a
straight hour-for-hour basis. All computations will be on a standard 173.33 basis,
except that employees on other than a forty (40) hour week will have hours
prorated according to their status.
C. Any recipient will be limited to a total of one thousand forty (1040) hours or its
equivalent per catastrophic event; each donor will be limited to one hundred
twenty (120) hours per calendar year.
D. No element of this plan is grievable. All appeals from either a donor or recipient
will be resolved on a final basis by the Director of Human Resources. No
employee will have any entitlement to catastrophic leave benefits. The award of
Catastrophic Leave will be at the sole discretion of the committee, both as to
amounts of benefits awarded and as to persons awarded benefits. Benefits may
be denied, or awarded for less than six (6) months. The committee will be
entitled to limit benefits in accordance with available contributions and to choose
from among applicants, on an anonymous basis, those who will receive benefits,
except for hours donated to a specific employee. In the event a donation is made
to a specific employee and the committee determines the employee does not
meet the Catastrophic Leave Bank criteria, the donating employee may authorize
the hours to be donated to the bank or returned to the donor’s account.
SECTION 15 - LEAVE OF ABSENCE
15.1 Leave Without Pay. Any employee who has permanent status in the classified
service may be granted a leave of absence without pay upon written request, approved
by the appointing authority; provided, however, that leaves under the Pregnancy
Disability Leave Act, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and California Family
Rights Act (CFRA) shall be granted in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
15.2 General Administration - Leaves of Absence.
A. Requests for leave without pay shall be made in writing and shall state
specifically the reason for the request, the date when it is desired to begin the
leave, and the probable date of return. Leave without pay may be granted for
any of the following reasons:
1. Employee’s own Illness, disability or serious health condition.
2. Pregnancy or pregnancy disability.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 89
3. Family care for family members as defined in Section 15.9.
4. To take a course of study such as will increase the employee's usefulness
on return to the position.
5. For other reasons or circumstances acceptable to the appointing authority.
B. An employee must request family care leave at least thirty (30) days before the
leave is to begin if the need for the leave is foreseeable. If the need is not
foreseeable, the employee must provide written notice to the employer of the
need for family care leave as soon as possible and practical.
C. A leave without pay may be for a period not to exceed one (1) year, provided the
appointing authority may extend such leave for additional periods. The
procedure in granting extensions shall be the same as that in granting the original
leave, provided that the request for extension must be made not later than thirty
(30) calendar days before the expiration of the original leave.
D. Nevertheless, a leave of absence for the employee's serious health condition or
for FMLA/CFRA shall be granted to an employee who so requests it for up to
eighteen (18) weeks during a “rolling” twelve (12) month period measured
backward from the date an employee uses his/her FMLA/CFRA leave in
accordance with Section 15.5 (Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or
California Family Rights Act (CFRA)) below.
E. Whenever an employee who has been granted a leave without any pay desires to
return before the expiration of such leave, the employee shall submit a request to
the appointing authority in writing at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the
proposed return. Early return is subject to prior approval by the appointing
authority. The Human Resources Department shall be notified promptly of such
return.
F. Except in the case of leave of absence due to family care, pregnancy, pregnancy
disability, illness, or serious health condition, the decision of the appointing
authority on granting or denying a leave or early return from leave shall be
subject to appeal to the Director of Human Resources and not subject to appeal
through the grievance procedure set forth in this MOU.
15.3 Furlough Days Without Pay (Voluntary Time Off or “V.T.O.”). Subject to the
prior written approval of the appointing authority, employees may elect to take furlough
days or hours without pay (pre-authorized absence without pay), up to a maximum of
fifteen (15) calendar days for any one period. Longer pre-authorized absences without
pay are considered leaves of absence without pay. Employees who take furlough time
shall have their compensation for the portion of the month worked computed in accord
with subsection 5.6 (Compensation for Portion of Month) of this MOU. Full-time and
part-time employees who take furlough time shall have their vacation, sick leave,
floating holiday, and any other payroll computed accruals computed as though they had
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 90
worked the furlough time. When computing vacation, sick leave, floating holiday and
other accrual credits for employees taking furlough time, this provision shall supersede
subsections 11.1 (Holidays Observed), 12.1 (Vacation Allowance), 12.4 (Accrual During
Leave Without Pay), 13.2 (Credits to and Charges Against Sick Leave), and 13.7
(Accrual During Leave Without Pay) of this MOU regarding the computation of vacation,
sick leave, floating holiday, and other accrual credits as regards furlough time only. For
payroll purposes, furlough time (absence without pay with prior authorization of the
appointing authority) shall be reported separately from other absences without pay to
the Auditor-Controller. The existing V.T.O. program shall be continued for the life of the
contract.
15.4 Military Leave. Any employee who is ordered to serve as a member of the State
Militia or the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or any
division thereof shall be granted a military leave for the period of such service, up to a
maximum of five (5) years as permitted by the federal Uniformed Services Employment
& Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), plus ninety (90) days. Additionally, any
employee who volunteers for service during a mobilization under Executive Order of the
President or Congress of the United States and/or the State Governor in time of
emergency shall be granted a leave of absence if necessary in accordance with
applicable state or federal laws. Upon the termination of such service or upon
honorable discharge, the employee shall be entitled to return to his/her position in the
classified service without any loss of standing of any kind whatsoever provided such
position still exists, the employee is otherwise qualified, and the employee’s cumulative
military service does not exceed five (5) years for reemployment purposes as defined in
USERRA. An employee who has been granted a military leave shall not, by reason of
such absence, suffer any loss of vacation, holiday, or sick leave privileges which may
be accrued at the time of such leave, nor shall the employee be prejudiced thereby with
reference to salary adjustments or continuation of employment. For purposes of
determining eligibility for salary adjustments or seniority in case of layoff or promotional
examination, time on military leave shall be considered as time in County service. Any
employee who has been granted a military leave, may upon return, be required to
furnish such evidence of performance of military service or of honorable discharge as
the Director of Human Resources may deem necessary.
15.5 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or California Family Rights Act
(CFRA). Upon request to the appointing authority, in a “rolling” twelve (12) month
period measured backward from the date the employee uses his/her FMLA/CFRA
leave, any employee who has permanent status shall be entitled to at least eighteen
(18) weeks leave (less if so requested by the employee) for:
A. Medical leave of absence for the employee's own serious health condition which
makes the employee unable to perform the functions of the employee's position;
or
B. FMLA/CFRA leave of absence without pay for reason of the birth of a child of the
employee, the placement of a child with an employee in connection with the
adoption or foster care of the child by the employee, or the serious illness or
health condition of a child, parent, spouse, or domestic partner of the employee.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 91
15.6 Certification. The employee may be asked to provide certification of the need
for family care leave or medical leave. Additional period(s) of family care or medical
leave may be granted by the appointing authority.
15.7 Intermittent Use of Leave. The eighteen (18) week entitlement may be in
broken periods, intermittently on a regular or irregular basis, or may include reduced
work schedules depending on the specific circumstances and situations surrounding the
request for leave. The eighteen (18) weeks may include use of appropriate available
paid leave accruals when accruals are used to maintain pay status, but use of such
accruals is not required beyond that specified in Section 15.12 (Leaves Without Pay –
Use of Accruals) below. When paid leave accruals are used for FMLA/CFRA, such time
shall be counted as a part of the eighteen (18) week entitlement.
15.8 Aggregate Use for Parents. If the parents are both employed by the County,
the FMLA/CFRA entitlement based on the birth, adoption or foster care of a child is
limited to an aggregate for both employees together of eighteen (18) weeks during a
“rolling” twelve (12) month measured backward from the date the employee uses his/her
FMLA leave. Employees requesting family care leave are required to advise their
appointing authority(ies) when their spouse is also employed by the County.

limited duty status for maternity reasons by the County, such employee may, with
specific medical verification, request and receive reassignment to a work location

of benefits administration and consider asking any eligible employee who waives
County health insurance to provide proof of other health insurance coverage.

are enrolled in the County’s program of medical or dental coverage as either the primary
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 104

by this agreement, employees may subscribe voluntarily and at their own expense for
supplemental life insurance. Employees may subscribe for an amount not to exceed
five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), of which one hundred thousand ($100,000) is
a guaranteed issue, provided the election is made within the required enrollment
periods.
17.10 Health Care Spending Account. After six (6) months of permanent
employment, full and part-time (20/40 or greater) employees may elect to participate in
a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) Program designated to qualify for tax savings

The HCSA Program allows employees to set aside a predetermined amount of money
from their pay, not to exceed the maximum amount authorized by federal law, per
calendar year, of before tax dollars, for health care expenses not reimbursed by any
other health benefit plans. HCSA dollars may be expended on any eligible medical

annual salary not to exceed the lesser of either five thousand dollars ($5,000), or the

Dental & Life Insurance) is inconsistent with any provision of any other County
enactment or policy, including but not limited to Administrative Bulletins, the Salary

of the Board of Supervisors, the provision(s) of this Section 17 (Medical, Dental & Life

17.16 Partial Month. The County's contribution to the health plan premium is payable
for any month in which the employee is paid. If an employee is not paid enough
compensation in a month to pay the employee share of the premium, the employee

shall be made by the employee at a time and place specified by the County. Late
payment shall result in cancellation of health plan coverage.
An employee on leave in excess of twelve (12) months may continue group coverage
subject to the provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(COBRA) provided the employee pays the entire cost of coverage, plus any
administrative fees, for the option selected. The entire cost of coverage shall be paid at
a place and time specified by the County. Late payment may result in cancellation of
health plan coverage with no reinstatement allowed.

care facilities similar to the “Kid’s at Work” program established in the Public Works
Department.
17.19 Health Benefit Coverage for Employees Not Otherwise Covered. To access

eligible for health coverage by the County, must be eligible to receive an offer of
coverage from the County under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(“ACA”) (42 U.S.C. § 18081). Employees eligible to receive an offer of coverage (and

original entrance and promotion shall be subject to a probationary period. The
probationary period shall be twelve (12) months for original entrance appointments and

time after the probation period for failure to pass probation. If the appointing authority
fails to submit in a timely manner the proper written documents certifying that a
probationary employee has served in a satisfactory manner and later acknowledges it
was his or her intention to do so, the regular appointment shall begin on the day

the employee was promoted or transferred.
A probationary employee who has been rejected or has resigned during probation shall
not be restored to the eligible list from which the employee was certified unless the
employee receives the affirmative recommendation from the appointing authority and is
certified by the Director of Human Resources whose decision is final. The Director of
Human Resources shall not certify the name of a person restored to the eligible list to
the same appointing authority by whom the person was rejected from the same eligible
list, unless such certification is requested in writing by the appointing authority.

reemployed in the same class by the same department, shall be required to complete
only the balance of the required probation. If reemployed in another department or in

achieved permanent status in the class before layoff and who subsequently is appointed
from the layoff list and then rejected during the probation period shall be automatically
restored to the layoff list, unless discharged for cause, if the person is within the period
of layoff eligibility. The employee shall begin a new probation period if subsequently

Reassignment – Probation Officers) paragraph B subparagraph 2 (Notice
Through Pre-Posting Polling) above, a Probation Officer in the unit
containing the vacancy expresses to his or her Supervisor a desire for the

Subsection 20.3 (Voluntary Reassignment – Probation Officers) paragraph
B subparagraph 2 (Pre-Posting Polling) above, and after department-wide
posting there are less than five (5) eligible applicants for a Probation

entitled to select from five (5) candidates and the five (5) most
senior may be considered as equal. Seniority for bidding purposes
means classification series seniority.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 118
c. The supervisor shall offer to interview all candidates either in
person or on the telephone. Subsequent to submitting a bid, an
employee may waive consideration for the position at any time by
notifying the supervisor verbally or in writing in which case the next
most senior bidder (if any) or candidate from the eligible list may be
considered. The remaining active bidders will be advised within ten

position. However, if the Department considers candidates with less than the
required time in an assignment pursuant to subsection 20.3 (Voluntary
Reassignment – Probation Officers) paragraph E (Order of Candidate
Consideration) subparagraph 2 above the needs of the Department will be the
primary factor.
I. Bidder’s Remorse. The selected employee shall have no claim on the job(s) he
or she left. If a decision is made by the employee to seek immediate
reassignment, the employee may only be placed in another vacant position in
accordance with this policy.
J. Assignment Trades – Probation Officers. Requests for “trades” in assignments
between two Probation Officers in the same classification holding comparable
positions where no vacancies exist can be made to their respective Managers.
Such requests shall indicate the names of both parties of the proposed trade
together with the reasons for the trade. If more than one Manager is involved, the
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 119
Managers shall confer and, if necessary, interview the persons requesting the
trade.
20.4 Involuntary Administrative Reassignment Procedure – Juvenile Institution
Officers. The below listed procedure shall apply to Juvenile Institution Officers.
Department management, at its sole discretion, may determine from time to time that
involuntary reassignments of staff are required. Involuntary reassignments are the
reassignments of permanent employees in their existing classification to a new worksite,
shift, or program area. Such decisions may result from inability to fill a vacancy through
the voluntary reassignment procedure or from a determination that excess staff are
allocated to a certain site, shift, or program. When such decisions are made and the
reassignments are permanent, the below listed procedure shall apply. This policy shall
not apply to temporary reassignments of less than eight (8) weeks duration to cover
such things as vacation relief, sick leave absences, temporary shifts in workload,
training assignments, or temporary short term assignments to cover vacant positions
which could not be filled through the voluntary reassignment policy and for which
actions are underway to fill permanent from an eligible list. If a temporary reassignment
is expected to exceed eight (8) weeks in duration, the affected department shall either
use the below listed procedure or will meet and confer with the Association on a case by
case basis regarding an alternative approach:
A. Management will identify the classifications and positions from which
reassignments are necessary.
B. Affected employees will be provided with a list of vacancies/ assignments for
which they may apply.
C. Affected employees shall be given the opportunity to volunteer for the available
vacancies/assignments and shall be considered in accordance with Part f. of the
voluntary reassignment procedure.
D. If there are insufficient volunteers for the number of available positions or no
volunteers, and involuntary reassignments are still required, the least senior
qualified affected employee shall be reassigned to the vacant assignment
identified by management, followed by the next least senior employee, and so on
in inverse order of seniority until all necessary reassignments are completed.
Qualified is defined as a person possessing the necessary training or experience
for the specific assignment. Seniority for involuntary reassignment purposes shall
be defined as seniority within classification. Nothing contained in this Section
shall prohibit the Department and the Association from making a mutually agreed
upon alternative arrangement. In no event shall reassignments be utilized for
disciplinary purposes.
20.5 Administrative Reassignments – Probation Officers.
A. The appointing authority may assign an employee from one position to another
position in the same series within the department. Administrative reassignments
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 120
may be required from time to time to facilitate Department functions and
efficiency. These involuntary reassignments may be for such purposes as
adjusting workload levels, accommodating changes in funding, filling
assignments with special requirements, etc. The following procedure shall only
apply to permanent reassignments and is not intended to apply to temporary
assignments to cover sick leave, training assignments, vacation, etc.
1. Management will identify the classification and position(s) from which
reassignment are necessary.
2. Affected employees will be provided a list of assignments for which they
may apply.
3. The department will provide the affected employee with as much advance
notice as possible.
4. Employees administratively reassigned shall not be precluded from
bidding on future open positions via the Department Reassignment
Process.
5. Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit the Department and the
Association from making a mutually agreed upon alternative arrangement.
B. Involuntary reassignments are the reassignment of permanent employees in their
existing classification to a new worksite, shift or program area. Involuntary
reassignments shall not be utilized for disciplinary purposes. Nothing contained
in this section shall prohibit the reassignment of a Deputy Probation Officer who
is not meeting the job expectations of another agency or department to which
that the Probation Officer is assigned.
20.6 Reassignment Due to Layoff or Displacement. When reassignment of an
employee or employees is necessary due to layoff or displacement, the following
procedures shall be followed:
A. A list of vacant positions shall be posted in work areas of all affected employees
for a minimum of five (5) work days.
B. Employees shall be given the opportunity to volunteer for vacancies and shall be
reassigned on the basis of seniority.
C. If there are no volunteers for reassignment, the least senior employee(s) in that
class shall be reassigned.
D. Management shall have the sole prerogative to select the vacancy to which the
least senior employee(s) shall be reassigned. Seniority for reassignment
purposes shall be defined as (in Section 10.2, Workforce
Reduction/Layoff/Reassignment, subsection 10.2, Separation Through Layoff,
paragraph E, Seniority) seniority within classification. If reduction or
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 121
reassignment by site is necessary, the least senior employee in the affected
class at the site shall be reassigned. If reduction or reassignment is necessary
by shift, the least senior employee in the affected class assigned to the affected
shift shall be reassigned. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit a
Department and the Association from making a mutually agreed upon alternative
arrangement.
SECTION 21 – RESIGNATIONS
21.1 Resignation Procedure. An employee's voluntary termination of service is a

appointing authority in writing to the employee and to the Human Resources
Department and shall indicate the effective date of termination.
21.2 Resignation in Good Standing. A resignation giving the appointing authority
written notice at least two (2) weeks in advance of the last date of service (unless the
appointing authority requires a longer period of notice, or consents to the employee's
terminating on shorter notice) is a resignation in good standing.
21.3 Constructive Resignation. A constructive resignation occurs and is effective
when:
A. An employee has been absent from duty for five (5) consecutive working days
without leave; and
B. Five (5) more consecutive work days have elapsed without response by the

resignation by the appointing authority to the employee at the employee's last
known address, but no more than ten (10) working days from mailing of said
notice.
21.4 Effective Resignation. A resignation is effective when delivered or spoken to
the appointing authority, operative on that date or another date specified. An employee
who resigns without advance notice, as set forth in subsection 21.2 (Resignation in
Good Standing), may seek rescission of the resignation and reinstatement by delivering
an appeal in writing to the Human Resources not later than close of business on the
third (3rd) calendar day after the resignation is effective. Within five (5) work days of
receipt of the appeal, the Director of Human Resources shall consider the appeal and
render a final and binding decision including, if applicable, the date of reinstatement.

have believed that the resignation was coerced, it shall be revoked and the
employee returned to duty effective on the day following the appointing
authority's acknowledgment without loss of seniority or pay.
C. Contest. Unless, within seven (7) days of the receipt of the notice, the appointing
authority acknowledges that the resignation could have been believed to be
coerced, this question should be handled as an appeal to the Merit Board. In the
alternative, the employee may file a written election with the Director of Human
Resources waiving the employee's right of appeal to the Merit Board in favor of
the employee's appeal rights under the grievance procedure contained in Section
23 of the MOU beginning with Step 3.
D. Disposition. If a final decision is rendered that determines that the resignation
was coerced, the resignation shall be deemed revoked and the employee
returned to duty effective on the day following the decision but without loss of
seniority or pay, subject to the employee's duty to mitigate damages.

Proposed Action within the first seven (7) days or extension thereof, the appointing
authority for cause specified in writing may place the employee on temporary leave of
absence, with pay.
22.5 Length of Suspension. Suspensions without pay shall not exceed thirty (30)

SECTION 23 - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
23.1 Definition and Procedural Steps. A grievance is any dispute that involves the
interpretation or application of any provision of this MOU excluding, however, those
provisions of this MOU which specifically provide that the decision of any County official
shall be final. The interpretation and application of those provisions are not subject to
the grievance procedure. An employee may appeal disciplinary action to the Merit
Board or through this grievance procedure. The Association may represent the grievant
at any state of the process. Grievances must be filed within thirty (30) calendar days of
the incident or occurrence about which the grievant claims to have a grievance and
shall be processed in the following manner:
Step 1. The Association or any employee or group of employees who believes that a
provision of this MOU has been misinterpreted or misapplied to his or her detriment
must discuss the complaint with the grievant's immediate supervisor, who must meet
with the grievant within five (5) work days of receipt of a written request to hold such
meeting. The supervisor will advise the grievant, in writing, within five (5) work days of
the meeting, whether the grievance is granted or denied.
Step 2. If an issue is not satisfactorily resolved in Step 1 above, the Association may
submit the grievance, in writing, to the Department Head or designee. This request must
be filed no more than ten (10) work days after the date of the Step 1 response from the
supervisor. The formal written grievance must state which provision of the MOU has
been misinterpreted or misapplied, how it was misinterpreted or misapplied, how
misapplication or misinterpretation has affected the grievant to the grievant's detriment,
and the redress the Association seeks. A copy of each written communication on a
grievance shall be filed with the Director of Human Resources and the Association. The
Department Head or designee will have ten (10) work days in which to respond to the
grievance in writing, stating the reason(s) for the disposition of the grievance.
Step 3. If the grievance is not resolved at Step 2 above, the Association may submit the
grievance to the Human Resources Director within ten (10) work days after the date of
the Step 2 response. Within twenty (20) work days after receipt, the Human Resources
Director or designee must meet with the Association and the Department to discuss the
facts, discuss other potentially relevant information or avenues of inquiry, and any terms
either party wishes to offer to resolve the grievance.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 126
Both parties must be prepared and present the following information to the other party in
the course of the step 3 meeting:
1. The name of the grievant(s);
2. A statement of the relevant facts relating to each alleged breach;
3. The name of each known witness;
4. A copy of each relevant document;
5. The party’s position on the grievance and the specific MOU provision(s)
allegedly violated in each instance; and
6. The specific remedy or remedies sought.
Within fifteen (15) working days of the Step 3 meeting, the Human Resources Director
or designee will send the Association and the affected Department a written response to
the grievance stating the reason(s) for the disposition of the grievance.
Step 4. Pursuant to a formal written request from the Association or the County, and
with the agreement of both parties, a Board of Adjustment will be convened, composed
of two (2) representatives of each party to this Agreement, for the purpose of deciding
the grievance. The Board of Adjustment will meet for consideration of the grievance
referred to it within fifteen (15) work days after receipt of a written request. The request
of either party to extend the time limit for convening of the Board of Adjustment, due to
extenuating circumstances, will not be unreasonably denied.
Step 5. In the event that the grievance is not resolved at step 3 or 4, either party may
notify, in writing, the other party, within fifteen (15) work days of the date of the Step 3
response or the Step 4 decision, of their desire to arbitrate the grievance. The parties
will mutually select an impartial arbitrator. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the
selection of an arbitrator, they may request one or more panels of arbitrators from the
California State Mediation and Conciliation Service and attempt to select an arbitrator
from that panel(s). Any fee(s) for the provision of the panel(s) of arbitrators will be split
equally between the parties. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the court
reporter (if any) will be shared equally by the Association and the County. Each party
will bear the costs of its own presentation, including preparation and post hearing briefs,
if any.
23.2 Compensation Claims. The employer is not required to pay any wage claim or
portion thereof retroactively for a period of more than two (2) years immediately prior to
the date of the Employer’s receipt of written notice from the Association of such claim.
23.3 Time Limits. The time limits specified above may be waived by mutual
agreement of the parties to the grievance. If the County fails to meet the time limits
specified in Steps 1 through 3 above, the grievance will automatically move to the next
step. If a grievant fails to meet the time limits specified in Steps 1 through 5 above, the
grievance will be deemed to have been settled and withdrawn.
23.4 Association Notification. An official, with whom a formal grievance is filed by a
grievant who is included in a unit represented by the Association, but is not represented
by the Association in the grievance, shall give the Association a copy of the formal
presentation.

23.5 Strike/Work Stoppage. During the term of this MOU, the Association, its
members and representatives, agree that it and they will not engage in, authorize,
sanction, or support any strike, slowdown, stoppage of work, sick-out, or refusal to
perform customary duties. In the case of a legally declared lawful strike against a
private or public sector employer which has been sanctioned and approved by the labor
body or council having jurisdiction, an employee who is in danger of physical harm shall
not be required to cross the picket line, provided the employee advises his or her
supervisor as soon as possible, and provided further that an employee may be required
to cross a picket line where the performance of his or her duties is of an emergency
nature and/or failure to perform such duties might cause or aggravate a danger to public
health or safety.

25.4 Re-opener – Election of Safety Retirement PEPRA Tier by Employees in
Tier A. If either the Internal Revenue Service issues guidance acceptable to both
parties, or the County receives a Private Letter Ruling from the IRS that protects the
County and Association members in Tier A from additional tax liability if these
employees have the opportunity to elect to enter the new Safety PEPRA Tier, then the
County and the Association agree to reopen this agreement to meet and confer on 1)
the possibility of allowing these employees to elect to enter the Safety PEPRA Tier, 2)
seeking State Legislation to authorize these employees to make such an election, and
3) the process by which these employees would be able to elect to enter the Safety
PEPRA Tier if the enabling legislation is enacted. Any changes to this agreement in
these subject matter areas will occur only upon the written agreement of the parties.

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 130
coverage, including the examination, may be credited toward the employee
enhanced benefit.
SECTION 28 - PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROCEDURE
The following evaluation procedures shall apply:
A. Goal: A basic goal of the employee evaluation is to help each employee perform
his/her job more effectively to the mutual benefit of the employee and the County.
The evaluation process provides an ongoing means of evaluating an employee's
job performance and promoting the improvement of the job performance. The
evaluation process also provides the opportunity to recognize and document
outstanding service as well as service that has been unsatisfactory to the
County.
B. Frequency of Evaluation.
1. Probationary employees shall be evaluated at least once during their
probationary period.
2. Permanent employees may be evaluated every year.
3. It is the policy of the Probation Department that all unit supervisors hold
personal evaluations and submit a written evaluation to all Deputy
Probation Officers whenever such officers are reassigned from their units.
C. Procedure.
1. An employee shall generally be evaluated by the first level management
supervisor above the employee.
2. It will be necessary in some cases for a supervisor to consult with the
employee's immediate work director in order to make a comprehensive
evaluation.
3. Where feasible, evaluations will be based primarily on observation by the
evaluator of the employee in the performance of his/her duties.
Comments based on secondary information shall have supportive
documentation.
4. An employee will be informed in advance of a meeting with his/her
supervisor to discuss the employee's evaluation and to put the evaluation
in writing on the department evaluation forms.
5. The employee shall be informed of his/her right to prepare and have
attached to the evaluation form any written comments which the employee
wishes to make.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 131
6. When an employee is rated below satisfactory on any factor, the
evaluation will give the reasons for such rating and include specific
recommendations for improvement in writing.
7. The employee's signing of an evaluation form does not necessarily mean
that the employee agrees with the evaluation but it does mean that the
employee has had an opportunity to discuss the evaluation with his/her
evaluator.
8. The employee will be given a copy of his/her completed evaluation form at
the time form is signed by the employee. (Confirmation of final version to
be received later.)
9. Any rating below average or unsatisfactory shall be supported by written
documentation received by the employee at the time the incident(s)
occurred.
10. Nothing shall be added by management to an evaluation after the
employee has signed and received a copy of the evaluation without the
employee’s written acknowledgment. Failure to follow the foregoing
procedure is subject to the grievance procedure. However, disputes over
the actual content or ratings themselves in individual evaluations are not
grievable, but may be mediated by the Director of Human Resources upon
request of either the employee or the Department. Prior to being
mediated by the Director of Human Resources either party may request
fact finding to assist in the resolution of the dispute. One (1) fact finder
shall be selected by each party to the dispute within ten (10) work days
from the initial request for fact finding. The fact finders shall have twenty
(20) work days from notice of selection to investigate and render opinions
to the Director of Human Resources.
SECTION 29 – VEHICLE COSTS

date it becomes effective or the first of the month following announcement of the
changed rate by the Internal Revenue Service, whichever is later.
29.2 Charge For Use of Home Garaged County Vehicle. Employees hired after
July 1, 1994 who are assigned vehicles to garage at home will be charged the IRS
mileage rate for all commute miles driven outside the limits of Contra Costa County that
exceed thirty (30) miles round-trip in any one day.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 132
SECTION 30 - PAY WARRANT ERRORS
If an employee receives a pay warrant which has an error in the amount of
compensation to be received and if this error occurred as a result of a mistake by the
Auditor-Controller's Department, it is the policy of the Auditor-Controller's Department
that the error will be corrected and a new warrant issued within forty-eight (48) hours,
exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from the time the Department is made
aware of and verifies that the pay warrant is in error. If the pay warrant error has
occurred as a result of a mistake by an employee (e.g. payroll clerk) other than the
employee who is receiving the pay, the error will be corrected as soon as possible from
the time the department is made aware that pay warrant is in error. Pay errors in
employee pay shall be corrected as soon as possible as to current pay rate but that no
recovery of either overpayments or underpayments to an employee shall be made
retroactively except for the six (6) month period immediately preceding discovery of the
pay error. This provision shall apply regardless of whether the error was made by the
employee, the appointing authority or designee, the Director of Human Resources or
designee, or the Auditor-Controller or designee. Recovery of fraudulently accrued over
or underpayments are excluded from this section for both parties. When the County
notifies an employee of an overpayment and proposed repayment schedule and the
employee wishes to meet with the County, a meeting will be held at which time a
repayment schedule shall be determined. If requested, a meeting will be held to
determine a repayment schedule which will be no longer than three times (3) the length
of time the overpayment occurred. If requested by the employee, an Association
representative may be present at a meeting with management to discuss a repayment
schedule in the case of overpayments to the employee.
SECTION 31 - FLEXIBLE STAFFING
Certain positions may be designated by the Director of Human Resources as flexibly
staffed positions. Positions are generally allocated at the first level of the job series
when vacated. When the position is next filled and an incumbent of one of these
positions meets the minimum qualifications for the next higher level and has met
appropriate competitive requirements he or she may then be promoted to the next
higher classification within the job series without need of a classification study. If the
Probation Department verifies in writing that an administrative or clerical error was
made in failing to submit the documents needed to promote an employee on the first of
the month when eligible, said appointment shall be made retroactive to the first of the
month when eligible. An employee who is denied a promotion to a flexibly staffed
position may appeal such denial to the Merit Board.
SECTION 32 - PROVISIONAL APPOINTMENT
Whenever an appointing authority makes a request for personnel to fill a position in a
class for which no reemployment or employment list is available, or in a class for which
no eligible or insufficient eligibles to complete the certification will accept appointment to
the position, the Director of Human Resources may authorize the appointing authority to
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 133
appoint any person who possesses the minimum qualifications for the class as set forth
in the class specifications, provided that the names of eligibles available and the names
of persons who have indicated the intention to take the next examination for the class
shall be referred to the appointing authority at the time authorization is issued. In no
case shall a permanent position be filled by a provisional appointment for a period
exceeding six (6) calendar months except under the following conditions:
A. If an examination has been announced for the class and recruitment of
applicants is in process, the Director of Human Resources may authorize a
continuation of provisional appointments until an eligible list is established.
B. In case of a provisional appointment to a permanent position vacated by a leave
of absence, such provisional appointment may be continued for the duration of
said leave. A provisional appointment shall be terminated within thirty (30) days
after the date of certification of eligibles from an appropriate eligible list. All
decisions of the Director of Human Resources relative to provisional
appointments are final and not subject to the grievance procedure. Before filling
a position by a provisional appointment, the appointing authority shall post notice
and shall consider current qualified employees for the appointment. Only if there
are insufficient internal applicants to constitute a full certification may the
appointing authority consider applicants from outside County service.
SECTION 33 - PERSONNEL FILES
An employee shall have the right to inspect and review any official record(s) relating to
his or her performance as an employee or to a grievance concerning the employee
which is kept or maintained by the County in the employee's personnel file in the Human
Resources Department or in the employee's personnel file in their Department. The
employee’s Association representative, with written authorization by the employee, shall
also have the right to inspect and review any official record(s) described above. The
contents of such records shall be made available to the employee and/or the
employee’s Association representative, for inspection and review at reasonable
intervals during the regular business hours of the County. Employees shall be
permitted to review their personnel files at the Personnel office during their working
hours. For those employees whose work hours do not coincide with the County’s
business hours, management shall provide a copy of the employee’s personnel file for
the employee’s review. The custodian of records will certify that the copy is a true and
correct copy of the original file.
The County shall provide an opportunity for the employee to respond in writing to any
information which is in the employee’s personnel file about which he or she disagrees.
Such response shall become a permanent part of the employee's personnel record.
The employee shall be responsible for providing the written responses to be included as
part of the employee's official personnel file. This section does not apply to the records
of an employee relating to the investigation of a possible criminal offense, medical
records and information or letters of reference.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 134
Counseling memos, which are not disciplinary in nature, are to be retained in the file
maintained by the employee's supervisor or the person who issued the counseling
memo and are not to be transferred to the employee's central file which is normally
retained by the Human Resources Department unless such memos are subsequently
used in conjunction with a disciplinary action such as a letter of reprimand.
All documents pertaining to disciplinary actions shall be placed in the employee's official
personnel file within five (5) work days after the time management becomes aware of
the incident and has completed its investigation as to whether the employee is culpable
and shall be date stamped or dated at time of entry. This section is not intended to
include supervisor's notes or reminders of specific incidents or ongoing reports such as
attendance records. Generally, such investigations should be completed within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date management becomes aware of the incident(s), it being
understood that under certain circumstances such as the unavailability of witnesses or
the possibility of a criminal act having been committed may cause the investigation to
take longer than the aforementioned thirty (30) days.
Copies of written reprimands or memoranda pertaining to an employee's unsatisfactory
performance which are to be placed in the employee's personnel file shall be given to
an employee who shall have the right to respond in writing to said documents. Letters
of reprimand are subject to the grievance procedure but shall not be processed past
Step 3 unless said letters are used in a subsequent discharge, suspension or demotion
of the employee, in which case an appeal of the letters of reprimand may be considered
at the same time as the appeal of the disciplinary action. Prior to being submitted to
Step 3 of the grievance procedure, either party may request fact finding to assist in the
resolution of the dispute. One (1) fact finder shall be selected by each party to the
dispute within ten (10) work days from the initial request for fact finding. The fact finder
shall have twenty (20) work days from notice of selection to investigate and render
opinions to the Director of Human Resources.
Copies of letters of commendation which are to be placed in the employee's personnel
file will be given to the employee. Employees have the right to review their official
personnel files which are maintained in the Human Resources Department or by their
departments. In a case involving a grievance or disciplinary action, the employee's
designated representative may also review his/her personnel file with specific written
authorization from the employee. The County shall supply the Association with lists of
official personnel files and locations. Derogatory material in an employee's personnel
file over two years old will not be used in a subsequent disciplinary action unless directly
related to the action upon which the discipline is taken. Derogatory material does not
include prior suspensions, demotions or dismissals for cause.
The County will participate in a committee of four (4) Association and four (4) operating
department managers to revise and clarify MOU Section (33), Personnel Files. Subject
committee will be chaired by a non-voting chairperson from the County Human
Resources Department and will hold their first meeting within ninety (90) days of
approval of this MOU and will issue a report within one hundred eighty (180) days of the
date of the first meeting.

2080 hours within the Probation Department. Thereafter, that temporary may not work
in the Probation Department for one year as a temporary. Nothing in this section shall
preclude the Department from terminating a temporary prior to the temporary reaching
the maximum hours allowable. This subsection 44.1 (Temporary Employees Hours)
shall be inapplicable to Juvenile Institution Officers. Nothing in this agreement
precludes the parties from meeting and conferring over future exceptions.
44.2 Temporary Employee Special Pays. Temporary employees may be eligible for
certain special types of pays or benefits in addition to wages under specifically defined
circumstances. A list of those special pays and benefits that are applicable to temporary
employees is included as Attachment D. If a special pay or benefit that is described in
this MOU does not specifically reference temporary employees or the special pay or
benefit is not included in Attachment D, then it does not apply to temporary employees.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 141
44.3 Leave Benefits.
A. Crediting and Maximum Accumulation of Paid Time Off. On the first of the
month following a temporary employee’s completion of two thousand eighty
(2080) straight time hours worked, he or she shall be credited with forty (40)
hours of “paid time off” (“PTO”). Forty (40) hours paid time off credit is the
maximum amount an employee may have at any time.
B. Use of Paid Time Off. Paid time off shall not be taken until credited per
subsection 44.3 paragraph A (Crediting and Maximum Accumulation of Paid
Time Off) above.
C. Payoff at Separation. If a temporary employee terminates his/her County
employment (separates from County service), the employee shall be paid all
currently “credited” PTO hours, as described in subsection 44.3 paragraph A
(Crediting and Maximum Accumulation of Paid Time Off) and, in addition, shall
be paid off for that portion of PTO hours earned but not credited on the basis of
that portion of the straight time hours worked (“STHW”) toward the next
increment of two thousand eighty (2080) straight time hours required for crediting
of PTO. The formula for the earned but not credited payoff is: STHW divided by
2080 multiplied by 40 multiplied by the current hourly pay rate at separation.
D. Appointment to a Permanent Position. If a temporary employee is appointed
to a permanent position, the credited PTO hours and the earned but not yet
credited PTO hours (as described in paragraph 44.3 paragraph C [Payoff at
Separation] above) shall be converted to vacation hour and subject to the
provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding relating to Vacation. When a
temporary employee is appointed to a permanent position, the employee shall be
allowed to use the earned paid time off hours during the first six (6) months of
employment in a permanent position.
44.4 Temporary Employee Step Placement. Temporary Hourly Rates. The hourly
rate paid temporary employees shall be the “1.00 hourly rate” calculated on the salary
schedule by dividing the unrounded monthly salary at any step by 173.33.
A. New Employees. The anniversary date of a new temporary employee is the first
day of the calendar month after the calendar month when the employee
successfully completes one thousand forty (1040) straight time hours.
B. Initial Step Placement. New temporary employees shall generally be appointed
at the minimum step of the salary range established for the particular class of
position to which the appointment is made. However, the appointing authority
may fill a particular position at a step above the minimum of the range if mutually
agreeable guidelines have been developed in advance or the Director of Human
Resources (or designee) offers to meet confer with the Association on a case by
case basis each time prior to formalizing the appointment.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 142
C. Increments within Range. The performance of each employee shall be
reviewed after the employee has completed an additional two thousand eighty
(2080) straight time hours of work. Advancement shall be granted on the
affirmative recommendation of the appointing authority, based on satisfactory
performance by the employee. The appointing authority may recommend denial
of the increment or denial subject to one additional review at some specified date
before the next anniversary which must be set at the time the original report is
returned. Except as herein provided, increments within range shall not be
granted more frequently than once a year, nor shall more than one (1) step within
range increment be granted at one time. Increments shall not be granted to a
temporary employee more frequently than after the first one thousand forty
(1040) straight time hours worked and after each two thousand eighty (2080)
additional straight time hours worked thereafter. In case an appointing authority
recommends denial of the within range increment on some particular anniversary
date, but recommends a special salary review at some date before the next
anniversary the special salary review shall not affect the regular salary review on
the next anniversary date. Nothing herein shall be construed to make the
granting of increments mandatory on the County. If an operating department
verifies in writing that an administrative or clerical error was made in failing to
submit the documents needed to advance an employee to the next salary step
on the first of the month when eligible, said advancement shall be made
retroactive to the first of the month when eligible.
44.5 Temporary Employee Grievances.
Temporary employees covered by this Memorandum of Understanding may grieve only
alleged violation of:
A. Section 1 (Recognition);
B. Section 2 (Association Security), subsection 2.1 (Dues Deduction);
C. Subsection 5.1 (General Wages), and
D. The terms of this Section 44 except subsection 44.2 (Meet and Confer).
SECTION 45 - LUNCH PERIOD AND REST BREAKS
A. Employees who are in a pay status during their lunch are on call during their
lunch period. Employees who are not in a pay status during their lunch are on
their own time during their lunch period.
B. Employees shall be entitled to a rest break for each four (4) hours of work.
Scheduling of rest breaks shall be determined by management.
C. The Department head or his or her designee shall schedule each field Probation
Officer for a regular one hour or a one-half hour unpaid meal period, taking into
consideration the employee’s preference and operational needs. The meal
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 143
period shall be taken as near the middle of the employee’s workday as is
practicable in light of operational needs. If an employee desires to change the
scheduled meal period from one hour to one half hour or from one-half hour to
one hour, such change shall take effect only if approved in advance by the
Department Head or his or her designee. The Department Head or his or her
designee may initiate such a change on an on-going basis when, in the
Department’s judgment, such is needed for operational reasons. The
Department Head or his or her designee may also temporarily alter the duration
of the employee’s regularly scheduled meal period, from one hour to one-half
hour or from one-half hour to one hour, to accommodate temporary operational
needs (e.g. training, etc.).
SECTION 46 - ADOPTION
The provisions of this MOU shall be made applicable on the dates indicated and upon
approval by the Board of Supervisors. Resolutions and Ordinances, where necessary,
shall be prepared and adopted in order to implement these provisions. It is understood
that where it is determined that an Ordinance is required to implement any of the
foregoing provisions, said provisions shall become effective upon the first day of the
month following thirty (30) days after such Ordinance is adopted.
SECTION 47 - SCOPE OF AGREEMENT AND SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS
47.1 Scope of Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this
MOU fully and completely incorporates the understanding of the parties hereto and
constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties in any and all matters
subject to meet and confer. Neither party shall, during the term of this MOU demand
any change herein, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the parties from changing
the terms of this MOU by mutual agreement. Any past side letters or any other
agreements that are not incorporated into or attached to this MOU are deemed expired
upon approval of this MOU by the Board of Supervisors. The Association understands
and agrees that the County is not obligated to meet and confer regarding wages, hours
or conditions of employment during the term of this extended agreement, except as
otherwise required by law.
47.2 Separability of Provisions. Should any section, clause or provision of this
MOU be declared illegal, unlawful or unenforceable, by final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction, such invalidation of such section, clause or provision shall not
invalidate the remaining portions hereof, and such remaining portions shall remain in full
force and effect for the duration of this MOU.
47.3 Personnel Management Regulations. Where a specific provision contained in
a section of this MOU conflicts with a specific provision contained in a section of the
Personnel Management Regulations, the provision of this MOU shall prevail. Those
provisions of the Personnel Management Regulations within the scope of representation
which are not in conflict with the provisions of this MOU and those provisions of the
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 144
Personnel Management Regulations which are not within the scope of representation
shall be considered in full force and effect.
47.4 Duration of Memorandum of Understanding.
Except for provisions, if any, expressly made retroactive, this Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) shall continue in full force and effect from July 1, 2019 to and
including June 30, 2023. Said Memorandum of Understanding shall automatically renew
from year to year thereafter unless either party gives written notice to the other, at least
sixty (60) days prior to the MOU termination date, of its intention to amend, modify or
terminate the Memorandum of Understanding.
SECTION 48 - FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT PROVISIONS
The Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, may govern certain terms and conditions of
the employment of employees covered by this MOU. It is anticipated that compliance
with the Act may require changes in some of the County policies and practices currently
in effect or agreed upon. If it is determined by the County that certain working
conditions, including but not limited to work schedules, hours of work, method of
computing overtime, overtime pay and compensatory time off entitlements or use, must
be changed to conform with the Fair Labor Standards Act, such terms and conditions of
employment shall not be controlled by this MOU but shall be subject to modification by
the County to conform to the federal law, without further meeting and conferring. The
County shall notify Association and meet and confer with the Association regarding the
implementation of such modifications.
SECTION 49 – SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
49.1 Safety and Efficient Operations. The County shall expend every effort to see
to it that the work performed under the terms and conditions of this MOU is performed
with a maximum degree of safety consistent with the requirement to conduct efficient
operations.
49.2 Juvenile Hall Standing Juvenile Institution Officer Safety Committee. The
Juvenile Hall shall have a standing Juvenile Institution Officer Safety Committee
(“CSC”) to address all issues related to Juvenile Institution Officer safety, including the
issuance of defensive tools. The CSC shall be empowered to make recommendations
related to Juvenile Institution Officer safety directly to the Deputy Chief Probation
Officer, the Institutional Superintendent, or the Department-wide safety committee as
the CSC deems appropriate.
49.3 Composition of CSC. The “CSC” shall consist of the Superintendent of the
Juvenile Hall (or his or her designee), one (1) line/unit Supervisor on staff at Juvenile
Hall (selected by Local 512), three Juvenile Institution Officer representatives
(appointed by the Association), one (1) Juvenile clerical representative (appointed by
Local 2700), one (1) service staff member (appointed by Local one), one representative
of the Institutional Service Workers, janitors and cooks (appointed by Local one) and the

representative of the Juvenile Hall Medical Department, one representative of the
Juvenile Hall School Department, and a representative of the County’s Risk
Management Office to be invited to sit as needed as a non-decision making consultant.
49.4 CSC Deliberation Not Bargaining. The discussions and deliberations of the
CSC shall not be construed as meeting the requirements to meet and confer regarding
any matter related to wages, hours, or working conditions.
49.5 Participation By Other Unions. The Parties recognize that the participation in
the CSC by Local 1, Local 512, or Local 2700 under the terms described above is
conditioned on their independent agreement to do so. If either declines to do so the
CSC shall carry forward without such participation.
49.6 Representation on Probation Department Safety Committee. The Parties
recognize that the Probation Department maintains a department-wide safety committee
on which three volunteer Probation Officers solicited by the Department have served
along with other Committee members. On the first January 1 after this MOU is signed
by the Parties, the volunteer Probation Officer positions on the Committee will be
deemed vacant. The Association shall promptly appoint three (3) Probation Officers,
one from each Field Services facility, to serve on the Committee and ensure that
matters affecting each facility are addressed. The term of each Association appointee
shall continue through the ensuing December 31. If the employee resigns from the
Committee, moves to a different facility thereby vacating the appointment, or otherwise
vacates the appointment before December 31, the Association shall promptly appoint a
replacement(s) from the facility from which the vacating employee was appointed. The
Association may replace any of its appointees to the Committee effective the next
January 1 but is not required to do so.
SECTION 50 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
A. Department Advisory Committee. The Department-Wide Probation Services
Advisory Committee shall continue during the term of this MOU.
B. Subcommittees. The Probation Department has established separate
subcommittees of the Probation Services Advisory Committee for each major
juvenile institution and treatment facility. Representation on each such
committee consists of two (2) Juvenile Institution Officers selected by the
Association together with the manager of the facility. The subcommittee shall
meet quarterly at a mutually agreeable time and place, discuss and resolve
issues of mutual concern. The subcommittee may refer some problems to the
department-wide committee for resolution.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
RETURN TO WORK POLICY
FOR INDUSTRIAL INJURY OR ILLNESS
I. POLICY: Permanent employees who have suffered industrial injuries and
illnesses may be provided with such restricted duty as the County is able to
provide as soon as medically appropriate.
A. Covered employees must have an accepted Workers' Compensation claim.
Probationary employees, project, contracted, seasonal, agency temp,
temporary, and employees working less than 20 hours a week are not
covered by this policy.
B. A restricted duty assignment may be provided within the County's capacity, consistent with restriction(s) recommended by the treating
physician. Should any disagreement exist, the County will follow
California State law. Restrictions from the physician must be in writing
on the county form AK 142 or on the physician's letterhead.
C. Employees performing in a restricted duty assignment will continue to receive their regular pay and benefits for hours actually worked. Pay and
benefits will be prorated in the case of part-time work, subject to MOU
provisions and salary regulations.
D. Current department practices and applicable state and federal laws regarding return to work procedures and restricted duty for certain
employees who are exempt from this policy (i.e., non-industrial illnesses or
injuries and probationary employees), will continue and are not subject to
this policy.
II. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of providing work for temporarily industrially injured
employees through restricted duty are to reduce disability and Workers'
Compensation costs, maximize productivity, minimize the loss of human
resources and promote full and prompt recovery with the return of the
employee to productive employment.
III. SCOPE OF POLICY: All departments and Board-governed agencies which are part of the County retirement system (excluding the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District and East Contra Costa Fire Protection District safety
employees, Sheriffs Office and D.A. Investigators safety employees, Housing

IV. GENERAL BACKGROUND: A restricted duty assignment is a temporary
assignment provided to a temporarily industrially disabled employee. Restricted
duty may be for less than regular full-time work, but no less than four (4) hours
per day.
A. A temporarily industrially disabled employee with an accepted Workers'
Compensation claim shall return to a restricted duty assignment that is not
inconsistent with restrictions recommended by the employee's treating
physician or Qualified Medical Examiner (QME), if applicable.
B. A Department shall, whenever feasible, temporarily restrict the duties of an
employee in order to conform to restrictions recommended by the treating
physician for a cumulative maximum of six months per injury with a review
after three (3) months or sooner, if appropriate. At the end of the six
month period, the employee shall undergo a medical review to
determine whether a full duty work the employee shall be to the Risk
Management ADA Coordinator and/or the Return to Work Committee for
evaluation.
C. If an employee disagrees with the Department Head's decision concerning
a light duty assignment, he/she may appeal that decision to the Risk
Manager within 15 calendar days. The subject of the appeal shall be
heard at the next regularly scheduled Return to Work Committee. The
Return to Work Committee may affirm, reject or modify the Department
Head's decision. The following factors shall be considered by the
Return to Work Committee when considering an appeal:
1. The restrictions recommended by the employee's treating
physician or QME, if applicable;
2. The operational and financial needs of the department; and
3. The availability of a suitable work assignment.

>
the Board of Supervisors will consider adopting a new memorandum of understanding with the Deputy
Sheriffs Association Probation and Probation Supervisors Unit that includes wage increases (Resolution

covered by this Resolution:
New Year’s Day Labor Day
Martin Luther King Jr. Day Veterans’ Day
Presidents’ Day Thanksgiving Day
Memorial Day Day after Thanksgiving
Independence Day Christmas Day
Such other days as the Board of Supervisors may designate by Resolution as
holidays.
Any holiday observed by the County that falls on a Saturday is observed on
the preceding Friday and any holiday that falls on a Sunday is observed on
the following Monday.
For employees who work in twenty-four (24) hour facilities and who may be
assigned to work on a holiday, any holiday that falls on a Saturday will be
observed on a Saturday, and any holiday that falls on a Sunday will be
observed on a Sunday.
1.11 Definitions:
Regular Work Schedule: The regular work schedule is eight (8) hours per
day, Monday through Friday, inclusive, for a total of forty (40) hours per week.
Flexible Work Schedule: A flexible work schedule is any schedule that is not a
regular, alternate, 9/80, or 4/10 work schedule and where the employee is not
scheduled to work more than 40 hours in a “workweek” as defined below.
Alternate Work Schedule: An alternate work schedule is any work schedule
where the employee is regularly scheduled to work five (5) days per week,
but the employee’s regularly scheduled days off are NOT Saturday and
Sunday.
4/10 Work Schedule: A 4/10 work schedule is four (4) ten hour days in a
seven (7) day period, for a total of forty (40) hours per week.
9/80 Work Schedule: A 9/80 work schedule is where an employee works a
recurring schedule of thirty six (36) hours in one calendar week and forty four
(44) hours in the next calendar week, but only forty (40) hours in the
designated workweek. In the thirty six hour (36) calendar week, the
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 182
Resolution No. 2019/507
2
employee works four (4) nine (9) hour days and has the same day of the
week off that is worked for eight (8) hours in the forty four (44) hour calendar
week. In the forty four (44) hour calendar week, the employee works four (4)
nine (9) hour days and one eight (8) hour day. Requirements for the
evaluation, authorization, and implementation of 9/80 work schedules are set
forth in Administrative Bulletin 435.
Workweek for Employees on Regular, Flexible, Alternate, and 4/10
Schedules: For employees on regular, flexible, alternate, and 4/10 schedules,
the workweek begins at 12:01 a.m. on Monday and ends at 12 midnight on
Sunday. For employees who work in a twenty-four (24) hour facility in the
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and who are not on a 9/80 work
schedule, the workweek begins at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and ends at 12:00
midnight on Saturday.
Workweek for Employees on a 9/80 Schedule: The 9/80 workweek begins on
the same day of the week as the employee’s eight (8) hour work day and
regularly scheduled 9/80 day off. The start time of the workweek is four (4)
hours and one (1) minute after the start time of the eight (8) hour work day.
The end time of the workweek is four (4) hours after the start time of the eight
(8) hour work day. The result is a workweek that is a fixed and regularly
recurring period of seven (7) consecutive twenty four (24) hour periods (168
hours).
1.12 Holidays Observed: Employees are entitled to observe a holiday (day off
work), without a reduction in pay, whenever a holiday is observed by the
County.
1.13 Holidays - Flexible, Alternate, 9/80, and 4/10 Work Schedules: When a
holiday falls on the regularly scheduled day off of any employee who is on a
flexible, alternate, 9/80, or 4/10 work schedule, the employee is entitled to
take the day off, without a reduction in pay, in recognition of the holiday.
These employees are entitled to request another day off in recognition of their
regularly scheduled day off. The requested day off must be within the same
month and workweek as the holiday and it must be pre-approved by the
employee’s supervisor. If the day off is not approved by the supervisor, it is
lost. If the approved day off is a nine (9) hour workday, the employee must
use one (1) hour of non-sick-leave accruals. If the approved day off is a ten
(10) hour workday, the employee must use two (2) hours of non-sick-leave
accruals. If the employee does not have any non-sick-leave accrual
balances, leave without pay (AWOP) will be authorized.
1.14 Holiday Observed - Part-Time Employees: When a holiday is observed by the
County, each part-time employee is entitled to observe the holiday in the
same ratio as his/her number of position hours bears to forty (40) hours,
multiplied by 8 hours, without a reduction in pay. For example, a part-time
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 183
Resolution No. 2019/507
3
employee whose position hours are 24 per week is entitled to 4.8 hours off
work on a holiday (24/40 multiplied by 8=4.8). Hereafter, the number of hours
produced by this calculation will be referred to as the “part-time employee’s
holiday hours.”
When the number of hours in a part-time employee’s scheduled work day that
falls on a holiday (“scheduled work hours”) is less than the employee’s part-
time employee’s holiday hours, the employee also is entitled to receive
flexible pay at the rate of one (1.0) times his/her base rate of pay (not
including differentials) for the difference between the employee’s scheduled
work hours and the employee’s part-time employee’s holiday hours.
When the number of hours in a part-time employee’s scheduled work day that
falls on a holiday (scheduled work hours) is more than the employee’s part-
time employee’s holiday hours, the employee must use non-sick leave
accruals for the difference between the employee’s scheduled work hours
and the employee’s part-time employee’s holiday hours. If the employee
does not have any non-sick leave accrual balances, leave without pay
(AWOP) will be authorized.
1.15 No County Overtime Pay, Holiday Pay, or Comp Time: Unrepresented,
management, and exempt employees are not entitled to receive County
overtime pay, holiday pay, overtime compensatory time, or holiday
compensatory time. Employees who are unable or not permitted to observe a
holiday (take the day off), are authorized to receive overtime pay ONLY IF the
employee is on the Overtime Exempt Exclusion List (see Section 11). The
prohibition against County overtime pay in this section does not preclude
payment of FLSA overtime to eligible employees as required by law.
1.16 Personal Holiday Credit: Employees are entitled to accrue two (2) hours of
personal holiday credit each month. This time is prorated for part time
employees. No employee may accrue more than forty (40) hours of personal
holiday credit. On separation from County service, employees are paid for
any unused personal holiday credit hours at the employee’s then current rate
of pay, up to a maximum of forty (40) hours.
1.17 Vacation: Employees are entitled to accrue paid vacation credit not to exceed
the maximum cumulative hours as follows:
Length of Service
Monthly
Accrual
Hours
Maximum
Cumulative
Hours
Under 11 years 10 240
11 years 10-2/3 256

20 through 24 years 16-2/3 400
25 through 29 years 20 480
30 years and up 23-1/3 560
However, for the Director of Employment and Human Services (job code
XAA2, County Welfare Director) only, the monthly accrual amount is 12 hours
for the first 13 years of County service and the maximum cumulative hours is
240 for the first 11 years of County service. Thereafter, the Director is subject
to the maximums set forth in the above chart.
Each employee is eligible to accrue increased vacation hours on the first day
of the month following the employee’s Service Award Date.
An employee’s Service Award Date is the first day of his/her temporary,
provisional, or permanent appointment to a position in the County. If an
employee is first appointed to a temporary or provisional position and then
later appointed to a permanent position, the Service Award Date for that
employee is the date of the first day of the temporary or provisional
appointment.
1.18 Sick Leave: Employees are entitled to accrue paid sick leave credit in
accordance with the provisions of the County Salary Regulations and
Administrative Bulletin No. 411.8 (Sick Leave Policy) as periodically
amended.
1.19 Part-Time Employees: Part-time employees are entitled to accrue paid
vacation and sick leave credit on a pro-rata basis.
1.20 Family Care Leave: The provisions of Section 1006.3 of the Personnel
Management Regulations and Resolution No. 94/416, as amended, relating
to Leaves of Absence and Family Care Medical Leave apply to all employees
covered by this Resolution, except that such employees are not entitled to
Family Care or Medical Leave on a calendar year basis. Instead, such
employees are entitled to at least eighteen (18) weeks of leave in a “rolling”
twelve (12) month period, which period is to be measured backward from the
date the employee uses FMLA leave. Upon the birth or adoption of a child,
an employee eligible for baby-bonding leave pursuant to the California Family
Rights Act may use sick leave credits for such baby-bonding leave.

minute increments.

2.B. Employees In Classifications Who Receive Health Care Coverage From
CalPERS
2.17 CalPERS Controls: The CalPERS health care program, as regulated by the
Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA), regulations
issued pursuant to PEMHCA, and the administration of PEMHCA by
CalPERS, controls on all medical plan issues for employees who receive
medical care coverage from CalPERS, including, but not limited to, eligibility,
benefit plans, benefit levels, minimum premium subsidies, and costs.
2.18 Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP): Because CCHP has met the minimum

1. Beginning on January 1, 2010, and until December 31, 2016, the
amount of the County premium subsidy that is paid for employees and
eligible family members is a set dollar amount and is not a percentage

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 195
Resolution No. 2019/507
15
greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the applicable premium of
any plan, for any plan year, the County’s contribution will not exceed one
hundred percent (100%) of the applicable plan premium.
2.20 CalPERS Retirement Coverage: Government Code section 22892 applies to
all employees in those classifications listed in Exhibit E.
2.21 CalPERS Premium Payments: Employee participation in any CalPERS
medical plan is contingent upon the employee authorizing payroll deduction
by the County of the employee’s share of the premium cost. If an employee’s
compensation in any month (including during a leave of absence) is not
sufficient to pay the employee’s share of the premium, the employee must
pay the difference to the Auditor-Controller. The responsibility for this
payment rests solely with the employee.
2.22 Dental Plan - CalPERS Participants:
a. Employees in the classifications listed in Exhibit E may participate in any
available County Group Dental Plan. The County may change dental plan
providers at any time during the term of this resolution.
b. Dental Plan Monthly Premium Subsidy: On and after January 1, 2010, the

health (or dental) plan, including a CalPERS plan. For example, a County

plan as either the primary insured or the dependent of another County
employee or retiree, but not as both the primary insured and the
dependent of another County employee or retiree.
b. All dependents, as defined in Section 2.16, Family Member Eligibility
Criteria, may be covered by the health and/or dental plan of only one
spouse or one domestic partner. For example, when both parents are
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 196
Resolution No. 2019/507
16
County employees, all of their eligible children may be covered as
dependents of either parent, but not both.

Contra Costa and all special districts governed by the Board of
Supervisors, including but not limited to, the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District.
2.24 Life Insurance Benefit Under Health and Dental Plans: For employees who
are enrolled in the County’s program of medical or dental coverage as either
the primary or the dependent, term life insurance in the amount of ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) will be provided by the County.
2.25 Supplemental Life Insurance: In addition to the life insurance benefits
provided by this resolution, employees may subscribe voluntarily and at their
own expense for supplemental life insurance. Employees may subscribe for
an amount not to exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), of which
one hundred thousand ($100,000) is a guaranteed issue, provided the
election is made within the required enrollment periods.
2.26 Catastrophic Leave Bank: All employees are included in the Catastrophic
Leave Bank and may designate a portion of accrued vacation, compensatory
time, holiday compensatory time, or personal holiday credit to be deducted
from the donor’s existing balances and credited to the bank or to a specific
eligible employee.
a. The County Human Resources Department operates a Catastrophic
Leave Bank which is designed to assist any County employee who has
exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury,
or condition of the employee or family member. The program establishes
and maintains a Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to
contribute may authorize that a portion of his/her accrued vacation,
compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or personal holiday credit
be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic
Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible
employee or to the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic
Leave Bank may be transferred to a requesting employee’s sick leave
account so that employee may remain in paid status for a longer period of
time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury or
condition. Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical
condition, a long-term major physical impairment or disability that
manifests itself during employment.
b. The plan is administered under the direction of the Director of Human
Resources. The Human Resources Department is responsible for
receiving and recording all donations of accruals and for initiating transfer
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 197
Resolution No. 2019/507
17
of credits from the Bank to the recipient’s sick leave account.
Disbursement of accruals is subject to the approval of a six (6) member
committee composed of three (3) members appointed by the County
Administrator and three (3) members appointed by the majority
representative employee organizations. The committee will meet once a
month, if necessary, to consider all requests for credits and will make
determinations as to the appropriateness of the request. The committee
will determine the amount of accruals to be awarded for employees whose
donations are non-specific. Consideration of all requests by the
committee will be on an anonymous requester basis.
c. Hours transferred from the Catastrophic Leave Bank to a recipient will be
in the form of sick leave accruals and will be treated as regular sick leave
accruals.
d. To receive credits under this plan, an employee must have permanent
status, have exhausted all time off accruals to a level below eight (8)
hours total, have applied for a medical leave of absence, and have
medical verification of need.
e. Donations are irrevocable unless the donation to the eligible employee is
denied. Donations may be made in hourly blocks with a minimum
donation of not less than four (4) hours from balances in the vacation,
holiday, personal holiday, compensatory time or holiday compensatory
time accounts. Employees who elect to donate to a specific individual will
have seventy-five percent (75%) of their donation credited to the individual
and twenty-five percent (25%) credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank.
f. Time donated will be converted to a dollar value and the dollar value will
be converted back to sick leave accruals at the recipient’s base hourly
rate when disbursed. Credits will not be on a straight hour-for-hour basis.
All computations will be on a standard 173.33 basis, except that
employees on other than a forty (40) hour week will have hours prorated
according to their status.
g. Each recipient is limited to a total of one thousand forty (1040) hours or its
equivalent per catastrophic event; each donor is limited to one hundred
twenty (120) hours per calendar year.
h. All appeals from either a donor or recipient will be resolved on a final
basis by the Director of Human Resources.
i. No employee has any entitlement to catastrophic leave benefits. The
award of Catastrophic Leave is at the sole discretion of the committee,
both as to amounts of benefits awarded and as to persons awarded
benefits. Benefits may be denied, or awarded for less than six (6)
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 198
Resolution No. 2019/507
18
months. The committee may limit benefits in accordance with available
contributions and choose from among eligible applicants on an
anonymous basis those who will receive benefits, except for hours
donated to a specific employee. In the event a donation is made to a
specific employee and the committee determines the employee does not
meet the Catastrophic Leave Bank criteria, the donating employee may
authorize the hours to be donated to the bank or returned to the donor’s
account.
j. Any unused hours transferred to a recipient will be returned to the
Catastrophic Leave Bank.
2.27 Health Care Spending Account: After six (6) months of permanent
employment, full time and part time (20/40 or greater) employees may elect to
participate in a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) Program designated
to qualify for tax savings under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, but
such savings are not guaranteed. The HCSA Program allows employees to
set aside a predetermined amount of money from their pay, before taxes, for
health care expenses not reimbursed by any other health benefit plans.
HCSA dollars may be expended on any eligible medical expenses allowed by
Internal Revenue Code Section 125. Any unused balance is forfeited and
cannot be recovered by the employee.

to the PERS Long-Term Care Administrator for employees who are eligible
and voluntarily elect to purchase long-term care at their personal expense
through the PERS Long-Term Care Program.

option of enrolling in a Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP)
designed to qualify for tax savings under Section 129 of the Internal Revenue
Code, but such savings are not guaranteed. The program allows employees

taxes) per calendar year to pay for eligible dependent care (child and elder
care) expenses. Any unused balance is forfeited and cannot be recovered by
the employee.
2.30 Premium Conversion Plan: The County will continue to offer the Premium
Conversion Plan (PCP) designed to qualify for tax savings under Section 125
of the Internal Revenue Code, but tax savings are not guaranteed. The
program allows employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay health and dental
premiums.
2.31 Voluntary Vision Plan: Beginning no earlier than the 2017 plan year, active
permanent full-time and active permanent part-time employees will be offered
the opportunity to enroll in a voluntary vision plan. Employees will pay the full
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 199
Resolution No. 2019/507
19
premium costs of the plan. The County will contract with a provider for a
voluntary vision plan with no co-pays. The vision plan is not available to
temporary or permanent-intermittent employees.
2.32 Prevailing Section: To the extent that any provision of this Section (Section 2.
Health, Dental, and Related Benefits) is inconsistent with any provision of any
other County enactment or policy, including but not limited to Administrative
Bulletins, the Salary Regulations, the Personnel Management Regulations, or
any other resolution or order of the Board of Supervisors, the provision(s) of
this Section (Section 2. Health, Dental, and Related Benefits) will prevail.

coverage by the County, must be eligible to receive an offer of coverage from
the County under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

use of personal vehicles on County business at the rate allowed by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a tax deductible expense, adjusted to
reflect changes in this rate on the date it becomes effective or the first of the
month following announcement of the changed rate by the IRS, whichever is
later.
4.11 Commuter Benefit Program: Prior to July 1, 2017, the County will offer
employees the option of enrolling in an employee-funded qualified
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 200
Resolution No. 2019/507
20
transportation (commuter) benefit program designed to qualify for tax savings
under Section 132(f) of title 26 of the Internal Revenue Service Code, but

employees to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified transportation expenses to
the extent and amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.

responsible for the payment of one hundred percent (100%) of the
employees’ basic retirement benefit contributions determined annually by the
Board of Retirement of the Contra Costa County Employees’ Retirement

Retirement system. This program of deferred retirement contribution will be
universal and non-voluntary as required by statute.

When there are insufficient sick leave accruals available to fully
supplement the difference between the SDI payment and the employee’s
regular monthly salary, accruals other than sick leave may be used at the
employee’s option with the Department’s approval. Sick leave and other
accruals may be integrated only to the extent that the total combined SDI
and accrual payments do not exceed the employee’s regular monthly
salary. When sick leave accruals are exhausted and no other accruals
are used, integration with SDI payments terminates.
When SDI is exhausted, integration terminates. The employee then may
continue to use sick leave without integration and/or other accruals.
Employees whose SDI claims are denied must present a copy of their
claim denial to their Department. The Department will then authorize the
use of unused sick leave and/or other accruals as appropriate.

c. Method of Integration. For purposes of integration with SDI payments, all

day weekly work schedules. Employees with a schedule that is less than
full-time will have their sick leave integration adjusted accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2019/4486 declaring a stop-control on Rodrigues Avenue (Road No.
3687L) at Cabrilho Drive (Road No. 3687M), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Martinez
area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
Rodrigues Avenue is currently only stop-controlled at Cabrilho Drive on its western leg. Upon request by a
citizen, Public Works Traffic Engineering Staff initiated an investigation of the intersection to determine if
a two-way stop-control of Rodrigues Avenue at Cabrilho Drive could be implemented.
Based on the investigation, it has been determined that a two-way stop control may be placed on Rodrigues
Avenue at Cabrilho Drive to improve right of way determination. Therefore, the Public Works
Department's Traffic Section recommends that a two-way stop-control be established on Rodrigues Avenue
at its intersection with Cabrilho Drive to enhance the orderly flow of traffic, and allow enforcement of the
traffic regulation. Cabrilho Drive will remain uncontrolled at this intersection.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
RESCIND Traffic Resolution No. 2005/4125, adopted July 19, 2005, which prohibited parking or stopping
at all times on a portion of Second Street (Road No. 1795H), except for those vehicles of individuals with
disabilities, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Rodeo area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
While reviewing previously designated parking spaces for disabled persons on public roadways, it was
determined that a disabled persons parking space was no longer needed. Public Works Traffic Engineering
staff conducted a site visit and sent a letter with no response to the property address in which the request
came from. Therefore, in conformance with established policy, Traffic Engineering recommends removing
the restriction on parking at this location.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Parking will remain restricted at this location.

residents about concerns associated with the existing trees. CCCPWD plans on replacing the trees with
PG&E recommended trees that will not grow into the power line. Pacheco Manor residents were
notified on June 5, 2019 about the project and invited to help choose replacement trees from the
recommended list at an upcoming public meeting. The meeting was be held on July 10, 2019 at 6:30

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 308
BACKGROUND:
On September 1, 1970, Buchanan Airport Hangar Company entered into a 30-year lease with Contra
Costa County for the construction of seventy-five (75) hangars and eighteen (18) aircraft shelters/shade
hangars at Buchanan Field Airport. In 1977 Buchanan Airport Hangar Company amended their lease to
allow for the construction of another 30-year lease with Contra Costa County for the construction of
seventeen (17) additional hangars. Buchanan Airport Hangar Company was responsible for the
maintenance and property management of the property during the lease period.
On September 1, 2000, the ninety-three (93) t- and shade hangars at Buchanan Field reverted to the
County ownership pursuant to the terms of the above lease.
On November 14, 2006, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved the form of the
T-Hangar and Shade Hangar Rental Agreement for use with renting the County's t-hangars, shade
hangars, medium hangars, and executive hangars at Buchanan Field Airport.
On February 16, 2007, the additional seventeen (17) hangars at Buchanan Field reverted back to the
County pursuant to the above referenced lease. This row included six (6) large hangars which were not
covered by the approved T-Hangar and Shade Hangar Rental Agreement.
On February 23, 2007, Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved the new Large Hangar
Rental Agreement for use with the large East Ramp Hangars.
On January 16, 2009, Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the
T-Hangar and Shade Hangar Rental Agreement and the Large Hangar Rental Agreement (combined
"Hangar Rental Agreements") which removed the Aircraft Physical Damage Insurance requirement. The
Hangar Rental Agreements are the current forms in use for rental of all the County hangars at Buchanan
Field Airport.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A negative action will cause a loss of revenue to the Airport Enterprise Fund.

The CDFW GHG Grant is a state program that invests in conservation projects that restore or expand
natural features, such as coastal marshes and wetlands. The grant will be awarded to projects that restore
wetlands and, by doing so, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The funding source is state “cap and trade”
funds collected from greenhouse gas emitters. The Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project is a good

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/540 to declare September 2019 Suicide Prevention Month for Contra Costa
County, as recommended by the Health Services Director.
BACKGROUND:
In the United States of America, 47,173 individuals died by suicide in 2017 (the most recent year for which
we have official statistics). Suicide is the tenth leading cause of all deaths in the United States and the
second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 15 and 24. In Contra Costa County,
102 individuals took their lives in 2018. It is a generally accepted belief that for each completed suicide,
there are about 100 attempts. That would mean that over 10,000 individuals attempted suicide in Contra
Costa County in 2018. Firearm is the leading method of suicide.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not recognizing Suicide Prevention Month will negatively impact the rate of suicide, and the level of
shame, stigma and isolation around suicide for survivors and family members.

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 336
In the matter of:Resolution No. 2019/544
recognizing Theresa Golden as 2019 Labor Leader of the Year
Theresa Golden was the second youngest of six siblings. For the majority of her childhood, her father,
Walter Lee Girvin, was an active duty, Chief Warrant Officer in the US Army. Her mother, Particia Girvin,
worked up to three jobs simultaneously to ensure that her family was provided for. With such hardworking
parents, it’s easy to see where Theresa got her strong work ethic.
Although born in Germany, she spent most of her adolescent years in Contra Costa County. She attended
Kerry Hills and Tara Hills elementary schools in San Pablo, California before moving onto Pinole Jr. High
School. After her extensive advocacy and organization, she was among the first girls who were able to run
in PJHS’s Turkey Trot. She won 1st place in the girls race, and her time was 2nd overall. In highschool,
Theresa was in gymnastics and band, but most assuredly, an avid runner. For all four years, she held the
1st place title in the 1-mile and 2-mile in West County Track and Field. She was 7th in California state for
long distance running in track. She graduated from Pinole Valley High School, class of 1980.
She was always active in her community helping those in need. She was Candy-Striper in the Future
Nurse program at her high school. She tutored a woman with Cerebral Palsy during and after highschool,
in which she learned American Sign Language in order to better assist her student. She is and was a
community advocate, and self-described tomboy who was paving her way which culminated into her
consideration to join the building trades.
She began her apprenticeship in 1992 and was initiated into UA 342 as a Steamfitter in 1993. After
obtaining nine specialty certifications for her craft and being an active member of her union, she garnered
the respect to serve on many committees within UA 342. She sat on the Work Preservation Committee as
an apprentice, and went on to sit on the Bylaws Committee, Committee on Political Education (COPE), and
was appointed to serve as an interim member on the Examining Board. She volunteered to help with
political functions, fundraisers and solidarity pickets.
She increasingly became more participatory in the Contra Costa Central Labor Council, becoming a
delegate for her union on the Executive Board of the Labor Council in 2002. During her time at the CLC
she has walked and phonebanked for countless Local, State and US electeds, recruiting family members
and friends to campaign alongside her for working families.
Theresa has been and advocate for workers and strong labor values. As women in the building trades,
she has become an inspiration and a source of support for the women in her union and women in other
trades through her participation in Tradeswomen, Inc. In 2006, Theresa was recognized for her work with
Tradeswomen, Inc. by the director of the California Workforce Services Bureau.
that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County does hereby honor and congratulate Theresa Golden
as the 2019 Labor Leader of the Year.

In the matter of proclaiming September 22-28, 2019 as Diaper Need Awareness Week in Contra Costa County
WHEREAS, Diaper Need, the condition of not having a sufficient supply of clean
diapers to ensure that infants and toddlers are clean, healthy and dry, can adversely
affect the health and welfare of infants, toddlers and their families; and
WHEREAS, national surveys report that one in three mothers experiencing diaper
need at some time while their children are less than three years of age and forty-eight
percent of families delay changing a diaper to extend their supply; and
WHEREAS, the average infant or toddler requires an average of at least fifty diaper
changes per week over three years; and
WHEREAS, there are no government assistance programs for the purchase or
provision of diapers, and a monthly supply of diapers can cost as much as six percent
of a full-time minimum wage worker’s salary, therefore obtaining a sufficient supply
of diapers can cause economic hardship to families; and
WHEREAS, a supply of diapers is generally an eligibility requirement for infants and
toddlers to participate in childcare programs and quality early education programs;
and
WHEREAS, the people of Contra Costa County recognize that addressing Diaper
Need can lead to economic opportunity for the state’s low-income families and can
lead to improved health for families and their communities; and
WHEREAS, Contra Costa County is proud to be home to various community
organizations that recognize the importance of diapers in helping provide economic
stability for families and distribute diapers to poor families through various channels.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County does
hereby proclaim the week of September 22nd - 28th, 2019 as “Diaper Need Awareness Week” in Contra
Costa County, and does encourage the citizens of Contra Costa County to donate generously to diaper
banks, diaper drives, and those organizations that distribute diapers to families in need to help alleviate
diaper need.

Subject:Reclassify one Community Library Manager Position to Senior Community Library Manager
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 371
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The community of San Pablo and members of the surrounding communities look to the library as a
community destination. With the library now open seven days a week, and with the increase in patronage
and circulation, the tasks of the Community Library Manager have increased in size, scope, and
difficulty.
The Human Resources Department conducted a desk audit with the incumbent on July 19, 2019, which
was followed by a phone conference with the incumbent's manager on August 16, 2019. As a result of
the HR analysis of the information obtained during the desk audit process, HR recommends
reclassification of the Community Library Manager position at the San Pablo Library to Senior
Community Library Manager in recognition of the increased level of responsibility.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this position change is not approved, the incumbent will not be appropriately compensated for the
additional job duties required to operate the library.

3.44%, effective October 1, 2019, in the Employment and Human Services Department, Health Services
Department, and Public Defender's Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
As part of a multi-pronged approach to address these challenges, a salary survey of Bay Area
comparators was conducted. The Social Worker III benchmark classification was found to be 3.44%

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Departments may continue to experience difficulty recruiting and retaining social workers, who serve
some of the County's most vulnerable population.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Social Workers serve some of the County's most vulnerable population, including children. The primary
responsibility of social workers within the Children and Family Services Bureau is to protect and ensure
the safety, permanency and well-being of vulnerable children residing in Contra Costa County. This is
achieved through abuse investigations, frequent in-person visits, child and family management activities
and significant legal and community collaboration. These activities support Contra Costa's community
outcome "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing" and require a qualified, trained and committed
workforce. Social Workers within the Health Services Department provide to residents, including
children, a full range of casework, counseling, crisis intervention, discharge planning and consultative
services utilizing judgement and initiative.

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 383
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department utilizes the Account Clerk – Advanced Level classification to perform
duties associated with processing timesheets for over 4,600 employees. These timesheets are manually
processed twice a month for pay periods ending on the 15th and 30th/31st. The Payroll Unit requires
twelve (12) Account Clerks to review, process and record both work and non-work hours, code and
enter pay differentials based on classification and bargaining unit, and meet stringent payroll deadlines.
Due to recruitment and retention issues in the past few years, the department has relied on retirees to fill
vacancies, train new employees, and meet payroll processing deadlines. Account Clerks assigned to the
Health Services Payroll Unit are responsible for reviewing and manually coding timesheets to ensure
employees are accurately compensated their hourly or monthly salary, including any additional pay
bargained in accordance with seven (7) unions and their memorandum of understanding. The pay
practices are extremely complicated due to variations in contract language. For example, Holiday Pay
can be processed 26 different ways based on union representation and bargaining unit within that same
union. Moreover, the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Detention Health are 24/7 operations
with a myriad of approximately 150 pay differentials. Within the past five years, six (6) Account Clerks
have left for promotional opportunities as Payroll Technicians in the Auditor Controller’s Office,
Retirement Specialists at Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Association, and Accounting
Technicians in other county departments. Furthermore, the minimum qualifications for the Account
Clerk classification require experience in processing financial documents and performing accounts
receivable/accounts payable duties but does not require payroll processing experience. Consequently,
recruiting staff with payroll experience has been difficult, and training newly hired staff without payroll
experience typically takes a full year due to the complexity of Health Services pay practices.
During the Board of Supervisors meeting on June 11, 2019, Supervisor Karen Mitchoff directed Health
Services Personnel/Payroll Director Dorette McCollumn to develop a plan to address the Department’s
payroll staffing issues, including the establishment of new Health Services payroll-specific
classifications. Hence, the Department is submitting this request to establish the classifications of Health
Services Timekeeping Technician, Health Services Timekeeping Specialist, and Health Services
Timekeeping Supervisor. The existing Account Clerk positions and incumbents will be reclassified to
Health Services Timekeeping Technician with their salary steps set closest to their current salary without
reduction in pay. The Health Services Timekeeping Specialist will provide lead direction and the new
position will be filled on a promotional basis via a competitive process, offset by the cancellation of one
vacant Account Clerk position #7899. The Health Services Timekeeping Supervisor will be equivalent
to the Account Clerk Supervisor and the incumbent will be transferred into the new classification.
The proposed salaries for the new classifications are based on an internal comparison of similar
classifications within Contra Costa County and are set at 5% below the Auditor-Controller’s Office with
exception to the Health Services Timekeeping Supervisor, for which the salary remains the same as the
Account Clerk Supervisor:
AUDITOR-CONTROLLER CLASSIFICATIONS:
CODE CLASS TITLE Min Salary Max Salary
PAYROLL TECHNICIAN $4,778.00 $5,808.00
SENIOR PAYROLL TECHNICIAN $5,017.00 $6,098.00
SUPERVISING PAYROLL TECHNICIAN $4,900.00 $6,567.00
COUNTYWIDE CLASSIFICATION:
ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN $4,331.00 $5,531.00
CURRENT HS PAYROLL September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 384
CURRENT HS PAYROLL
ACCOUNT CLERK SUPERVISOR $4,801.00 $6,131.00
ACCOUNT CLERK-ADVANCED LEVEL $3,911.00 $4,995.00
PROPOSED HS PAYROLL
HS TIMEKEEPING TECHNICIAN $4,520.00 $5,494.00
HS TIMEKEEPING SPECIALIST $5,232.00 $5,769.00
HS TIMEKEEPING SUPERVISOR $4,801.00 $6,131.00
The new classifications should alleviate the significant challenges in recruiting and retaining payroll
staff in the Health Services Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Department is not able to recruit qualified payroll staff and retain
knowledgeable staff, and will rely on increased overtime of existing staff and continued employment of
retirees to accurately and timely pay over 4,600 employees in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $587,577 with $140,559 in pension costs

ensures that service providers enroll and treat the county’s target population as deemed appropriate by
DHCS. During the last DHCS Triennial Audit in 2017, DHCS stipulated that CCBHD increase its annual

The new positions will be responsible for the authorization of services provided by the Behavioral
Health Division as well as community-based organizations and hospitals that we contract with to ensure
that required documentation for services is met, appropriate and within State and Federal regulations,
County policies and procedures. This includes levels of activity such as authorization, concurrent and

providers to ensure compliance and quality of care. In addition, they participate in several regulatory
audits conducted by the State Department of Health Care Services, Office of the Inspector General, and
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Subject:Personnel Resolution No. 22509 - Adjusting the Salary of Departmental Human Resources Classifications
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 405
BACKGROUND:
The County has experienced significant difficulties recruiting and retaining qualified candidates to fill
departmental Human Resources positions. Six of nine Health Services Departmental HR Analysts have
left since 2018 and four of eight Employment and Human Services Departmental HR Analyst have left
since 2017. Recruitment efforts have failed to attract a pool of qualified candidates to fill these vacancies.
The recommended salary reallocation will align Personnel Technician with Human Resources
Technician, increase Departmental HR Analyst I by 5% and align Departmental HR Analyst II with the
central human resources classification of Human Resources Analyst.
The recommended increase will improve our competitiveness in a tight market. In addition, it aligns with
our goal to have more opportunities for cross-training and collaboration between central HR and
departmental HR, creating training and career opportunities for current HR employees as well as
developing a highly skilled, nimble HR team to support County operations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Departments may continue to lose staff and/or have difficulty filling vacancies.

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/560 approving the attached Side Letter Agreements between the County and
SEIU Local 1021, to modify Section 2.1 of the Rank and File and Service Line Supervisors Memoranda of
Understanding pursuant to AB 119 and SB 866.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a change to administrative process and has no direct fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
AB 119, which mandates union access to new employee orientations, was passed on June 27, 2017. The bill
requires public agencies to provide 10 days’ advance notice to the applicable union of any new employee
orientation. In addition, the bill also requires public agencies to provide to the unions, the name, job title,
department, work location, work, home, personal cellular telephone number, personal email address, and
home address of any new employee within 30 days of hire or by the first pay period of the month following
hire. The same information must also be regularly provided to the unions for all employees every 120 days.
Most of the County’s current memoranda of understanding already include a procedure for unions to access
employees during orientation. Several of the County’s bargaining groups, however, have requested to
negotiate the structure, time, and manner of access of the union to a new employee orientation, as permitted
under the bill.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/561 to modify the salary schedules of the unrepresented safety classifications
of Deputy Sheriff-Per Diem (6XWC) and Law Enforcement Training Instructor-Per Diem (64WB) to
reestablish and maintain a tie consistent with similar situated represented classifications in the
Sheriff-Coroner's department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Employees in these classifications are hourly and not permanent; therefore, the annual costs of these
classifications varies. Upon approval, the estimated annual cost assuming 2018 hourly usage is $70,000.
The majority of these costs are covered by non-general fund revenues. The balance will be absorbed by the
Office of the Sheriff.
BACKGROUND:
The County of Contra Costa has established a historic salary tie between per diem and non-per diem safety
classifications. There are currently two such unrepresented classifications, the Deputy Sheriff-Per Diem and
Sheriff Law Enforcement Training Instructor-Per Diem. In order to maintain the tie, due to negotiated wage
increases to similarly situated classification, periodic adjustments are necessary. The proposed action

limited to, the cost of installing a new wall, installing a new door to the patio,
painting and installing new baseboard on the new wall, relocating any affected
electrical outlets, and replacing any affected carpet to the Premises during the

d. Performance Standards. Lessor warrants that all construction in connection with the

trained, adequately supervised workers, in a good and workmanlike manner, free from
design, material and workmanship defects. Lessor shall, at its sole cost and expense,
repair and replace any poor workmanship or defective materials within a reasonable
time after written notice thereof, provided the notice is sent by County within one year
of the acceptance of the Tenant Improvements. Lessor’s obligations under this
paragraph are in addition to and not in limitation of any other obligation of Lessor.

Condition”), the Director of Public Works, or his or her designee, will immediately notify
Lessor of the Perilous Condition and Lessor shall use best efforts to immediately eliminate
the Perilous Condition.
Lessor shall immediately address any condition reasonably constituting an emergency,
whether Lessor learns of the condition through County or otherwise.
If Lessor fails to address a Perilous Condition within twenty-four (24) hours after County’s
notice or to immediately address an emergency situation, County may attempt to resolve
the Perilous Condition or emergency situation. Lessor shall reimburse County for any costs
incurred by County in addressing the Perilous Condition or emergency situation promptly
upon receipt of County’s invoice.
18. Destruction. If damage occurs that causes a partial destruction of the Premises during the
Term from any cause and repairs can be made within sixty days from the date of the damage
under the applicable laws and regulations of governmental authorities, Lessor shall repair
the damage promptly. Such partial destruction will not void this lease, except that County
will be entitled to a proportionate reduction in Rent while such repairs are being made. The
proportionate reduction in Rent will be calculated by multiplying Rent by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of square feet that are unusable by County and the
denominator of which is the total number of square feet in the Premises.
If repairs cannot be made in sixty days, County will have the option to terminate the lease
or request that Lessor make the repairs within a reasonable time, in which case, Lessor will
make the repairs and Rent will be proportionately reduced as provided in the previous
paragraph.
This lease will terminate in the event of a total destruction of the Building or the Premises.

County harmless from any loss arising out of the presence of any Hazardous Material on
the Premises that was not brought to the Premises by or at the request of County, its agents,
contractors, invitees or employees. Lessor acknowledges and agrees that County has no
obligation to clean up or remediate, or contribute to the cost of clean-up or remediation, of
any Hazardous Material unless such Hazardous Material is released, discharged or spilled
on or about the Premises by County or any of its agents, employees, contractors, invitees
or other representatives. The obligations of this Section shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this lease.
“Hazardous Material” means any substance, material or waste, including lead based
paint, asbestos and petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof), that is or

County’s Board of Supervisors to adopt a budget. In no event may such
additional time exceed seventy-five days from receipt of a Notice.

care for patients with heart attacks known as STEMI by unblocking arteries in the heart in a rapid fashion.
Heart attacks represent a major cause of death and disability in the United States, affecting over 610,000
persons annually. This kind of heart attack occurs among 2.5% to 5% of patients with chest pain or other
cardiac symptoms. The number of STEMIs identified by Contra Costa EMS providers are estimated to be
in the range of 100-150 patients per year.
On August 2, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-437-3 with San Ramon Regional
Medical Center to act as a designated STEMI receiving center to provide specialized treatment for STEMI
patients with a cardiac condition, through August 31, 2019.
Approval of Contract #23-437-4 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through August
31, 2022. This Contract includes agreeing to hold each party harmless from any claims arising out of the
performance of this Contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, this designated STEMI receiving center would be disrupted and patients
with life threatening cardiac conditions could experience delays in definitive care increasing the risk of
permanent disability or death.

Subject:Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS Funding Agreement between the City of Oakland and the County
of Contra Costa
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 488
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 $830,290 in FY 2019 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, mortgage 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. 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 2019 reflect DCD’s program administration costs
($58,120), and the remainder is allocated for housing development for persons with HIV/AIDS
($772,170). 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 project specific component of funding for housing development.
DCD allocated the HSD HIV/AIDS Division an award of HOPWA funding to allow for the continuation
of the services for the period of July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2020 from FY 2018/19. Therefore, no award of
HOPWA funds to HSD HIV/AIDS Division is recommended for FY 2019/20. 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 FY 2019/20, 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, which has
been approved by County Counsel.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve the FY 2019 HOPWA Funding Agreement with the City of Oakland, the
County would not receive and administer $830,290 in HOPWA funds, and low-income persons with
HIV/AIDS in the County would lose vital housing and supportive services.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the
amount of $17,232 from Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund to provide shelving for juvenile books for the
period of December 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$4,066.00 will be committed from the Library budget to complete the project. This represents 19% of the
total project.
BACKGROUND:
The Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund has provided funding to the Antioch Library for a variety of projects
since 2015. The funds have provided monies needed to provide City Wide Kids Read events (2015),
cultural performances for all ages (2017), and new furniture for the Children’s area (2018). These programs
have enhanced access to literacy materials, cultural experiences, and enhanced the community’s enjoyment
of the library facility. If we receive the grant this year we will be able to continue the enhancement of our
Children’s area – encouraging greater use of the literacy materials and greater time spent in the Children’s
area accessing such materials.

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 522
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the funds are not received, then the existing shelving will continue to be used. The existing shelving is
old, unattractive, and does not allow for the proper shelving of library materials of various sizes. The area is
not as pleasing to look for materials in and so, people do not spend as much time browsing as they might
otherwise and materials cannot be as easily discovered.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The grant will meet the outcome: Children Ready for and Succeeding in School. Children
and their families will be provided with a modern, clean, and attractive environment to promote the
utilization of literacy materials that the library has available. Furthermore they will be provided with an
environment in which natural discovery of new materials will be enhanced and browsing will be
encouraged.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the
amount of $10,000 from Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund to provide a Google Expeditions kit for
the Bay Point Library for the period of September 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No library fund match.
BACKGROUND:
The Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund (KCMF) process was established in August 1992, and funds
are used to mitigate effects of the landfill site by funding community-based organizations and County
Departments for programs in the following areas: youth services, code enforcement, community
beautification, public safety and community services.
A Google Expeditions Kit enables patrons to explore the world virtually to bring abstract concepts to life —
allowing students to peruse collections of 360° scenes and 3D objects, and discover interesting sites and
artifacts along the way. Expeditions explore history, science, the arts, and the natural world. One kit
includes: teacher and student devices, virtual reality viewers, chargers and a router to connect devices.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Bay Point Library is located in the Riverview Middle School and serves many middle school students.
The library’s small staff and these students would benefit from the purchase of the Google Expeditions Kit

emphasis on assisting local efforts to prevent or reduce crime and violence. The eligible jurisdictions
within Contra Costa County have a scheduled allocation totaling $144,474 with $25,555, allocated to the
County. The $25,555 county allocation will be to the Office of the Sheriff. Established to streamline
justice funding and grant administration, the JAG Program allows states, tribes, and local governments to
support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and
conditions. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) calculates a minimum base allocation for each state.
Once the state funding is calculated, 60 percent of the allocation is awarded to the state and 40 percent to
eligible units of local government. Local governments are awarded amounts based on their share of the
total violent crime reported within the state. Based on a formula allocation, Contra Costa County has
been designated as a disparate jurisdiction because a city within the county is scheduled to receive 150%
more than the county, while the county bears more than 50% of the costs associated with the
prosecution and incarceration of that city's Part 1 violent crime. Jurisdictions certified as disparate must
identify a fiscal agent that will submit a joint application for the total eligible allocation. The Office of
the Sheriff has been designated as the fiscal agent for this grant and will manage and oversee the
distribution of the funds for all participating agencies within the county. As Fiscal Agent, the Office of
the Sheriff will receive 5% ($5,945.95) of the pass through of the grant allocation (5% from each
jurisdictions' allocation) to cover management and administration of the grant, to include personnel and
operational costs directly related to grant management.
The JAG FY2019 funds again include a requirement to certify compliance with 8 U.S.C. §1373
regarding communication with immigration officials on information regarding an individual's citizenship
or immigration status. This requirement, which was also included for the FY2018 funds, was found to be
unconstitutional in other jurisdictions and is pending judicial review in California. New additional
conditions also have been included for the FY2019 funds that require certification of compliance. The
additional conditions include broad acknowledgments such as acknowledgement of the authority of
immigration officers to conduct interrogations and acknowledgement that local agencies cannot impede
immigration officers in the exercise of their immigration activities, among others. These FY2019 grant
certifications of compliance are being challenged by the State of California, City and County of San
Francisco, and City of Los Angeles in lawsuits filed August 22 and 23, 2018.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Sheriff's Office will be unable to apply for and accept the grant from the U.S. Department of Justice.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Pittsburg Library provides robust Children's programming that includes weekly story times, STEAM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) events and special performers. The
Children's room is daily full of children and their families making use of the early literacy activities,
computers and enjoying the book collection. The current shelving is the original from when the library was
first built in the 1960's. The shelving is old, in ill repair, and not compliant with the Americans With
Disabilities Act. The new shelving would provide a safer, more attractive and versatile use of the space.

included in the Nexus Study for the WCCTAC program, the subject allocation from WCCTAC is
appropriate to augment funding for the San Pablo Dam Road Sidewalk Gap Closure Project.
The Project was approved by the County Board of Supervisors and the Public Works Director, or
designee, was authorized to advertise the Project on January 19, 2016. Construction for the project
began on July 15 and is currently underway. The purpose of the Project is to improve pedestrian access
and safety on San Pablo Dam Road between Appian Way and Clark Road. San Pablo Dam Road is a
principal arterial that runs through the heart of El Sobrante. The proposed Project will connect El
Sobrante residents with the downtown commercial area, bus stops, the nearby El Sobrante Library, and
the Boys and Girls Club. Currently, pedestrian infrastructure east of Appian Way has multiple gaps,
which force pedestrians to walk in the parking lane or to cross the street midblock in order to use
sidewalks on the opposite side of the street. This Project will provide a sidewalk path along four gaps
for a total of 1,420 feet of improvements, resulting in a continuous sidewalk path. Construction includes
removing non-native trees before constructing curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Agreement is not approved, the County will be unable to receive the STMP funding allocation,
which impacts the ability to fully fund the San Pablo Dam Road Sidewalk Gap project.

BACKGROUND:
Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth through five
years old from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social and emotional development.
Head Start programs provide a learning environment that supports children's growth in the following
domains: language and literacy; cognition and general knowledge; physical development and health;
social and emotional development; and approaches to learning.
Head Start also provides comprehensive services which include health, nutrition, social and other
services determined as necessary via family needs assessments. Services are designed to be responsive
to each child and family's ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. Services are provided through a
variety of service models including: centers or schools that children attend part or full day, family
childcare homes and/or the children's own homes wherein a Head Start staff visit once per week to
provide in-home services. Children who receive home-based services gather periodically with other
enrolled families for group learning experiences facilitated by Head Start staff.
Contra Costa County submits an application annually to U.S. Health and Human Services Department,
Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start, as the Head Start grantee. The annual
application includes newly identified goals and objectives for the program. This is year 2 of a 5 year
funding cycle. This application was reviewed for approval by the Head Start Policy Council on August
21, 2019. Approval of this Board order will allow the continued provision of Head Start services to
program eligible children and families.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the County will not receive funding to operate Head Start childcare centers.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Head Start
program supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready

Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering

in the amount of 20% of the grant total. The match is usually achieved through collaboration with State
Child Development programs and the volunteer hours accrued by Head Start parents and community
partners. With this grant, there will be no community or parent involvement. The planned expenditures
pertaining to facility improvement cannot be met with volunteer hours as the use of funds do not involve
classroom participation from parents. It would be difficult for the Department to meet the non-federal
share because of the nature of the expenditures. Thus, the department is seeking a waiver of the
non-federal share. Approval of this board order will allow the department to seek a waiver from ACF.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the department will be responsible for finding alternative ways to meet the non-federal
share amount for this grant.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of
Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in
School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that
are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services,
including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children

REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF NON FEDERAL SHARE
Contra Costa County Community Services Bureau (CSB) is requesting a waiver of non
federal share amounting to $492,159 for the carryover request for Early Head Start-CCP Program,
Grant #09HP000111. CSB’s request of carryover funds of $4,273,918 includes operating funds
as well as program improvement funds of $1,968,634. The allocation of program improvement
funds is for various purposes including but not limited to the upgrade and enhancement of CSB’s
centers and partners facilities to comply with the health and safety requirements of the Head Start
Performance Standard. These planned expenditures pertaining to program improvement cannot
be met with volunteer hours because they do not involve classroom participation from parents as
well as non-involvement of the community at large. It would be difficult for the program to meet
the non federal share because of the nature of these expenditures. These consists of the following
planned expenditures included in the carryover request:

Subject:Contract with Wells Fargo Bank for General Banking and Lockbox Services
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 666
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In the past 5 years, Wells Fargo has been providing the financial services to the County in accordance with
the agreement. Upon expiration of the existing agreement and after lengthy rounds of discussions with
Wells Fargo, the County Treasurer was able to further reduce the existing service fees by additional
10-15% annually. With no other terms of the existing agreement being changed than the reduced fee
schedules, Wells Fargo will continue to provide general banking services, including, but not limited to,
deposit services, automated clearing house, positive pay, online banking, sweep account, and information
reporting, pursuant to the extended agreement between Wells Fargo and the County. Wells Fargo will also
provide lockbox services, including, but not limited to, lockbox imaging under the extended agreement.
The cost of these services will be paid by the interest earned on the daily cash balance Wells Fargo, the
monies deposited with Wells Cap Management, and/or on the monies deposited in the Treasury Pool,
specifically, General County Revenue Fund. Under the agreement, each party is required to indemnify the
other for its errors and omissions. The County Counsel has reviewed and approved the amendment,
specifically, the reduced fee schedules, to the existing agreement with Wells Fargo.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the agreement is not authorized, the Treasurer will lack an agreement with Wells Fargo to administer the
County’s extensive banking operations and severely jeopardize security and safekeeping of County monies.
The County will not be able to benefit from the further reduced fee schedule.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In 2016, the HSD IT unit upgraded its VMWare software and renewed support through VMWare’s
third-party reseller, Applied Computer Solutions. The HSD IT unit now needs to purchase additional
software and pay for subsequent support. This purchase will allow for the continued support and

and scalability.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, the HSD will lose vendor-provided support and an inability to grow
beyond existing limits. The servers housing our electronic health records system will no longer be
upgradeable; downtime, technical flaws, and other maintenance-based issues will not receive support from
the vendor. This may increase the potential for loss or corruption of patient data and could lead to patient

patient workload data to accurately forecast staffing requirements for the current shift, as well as for a
24-hour projection. This is to renew Purchase Order #F011000 which expired on January 31, 2019.
Approval will allow the contractor to provide services through January 31, 2020. Execution of the Master
Agreement provides that the County will indemnify the Contractor for claims arising from County’s use or
inability to use the software. The Master Agreement has been approved as to form by County Counsel.

contract code authorizing design-build project procurement requires the local agency’s governing

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 718
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Contra Costa County has successfully used Design-Build procurement on several projects, most recently
the new Administration Building and the new Emergency Operations Center. The two main advantages of
Design-Build are allowing for a faster project completion and improved design through the ability to more
easily modify final design during the construction process.
Staff will solicit responses to RFQs for the two projects and create short lists of qualified design
build entities. Staff will then solicit responses to RFPs from the short listed design-build entities
and rank those respondents according to criteria in the RFPs. After staff conducts the RFQ and
RFP process for the two projects it will return to the board with a recommendation for selection of
design-build contractors for the projects.
West County Reentry and Treatment Facility
The West County Reentry and Treatment Facility is the construction of a 96 bed mental health
treatment center, reentry and other treatment areas and replacement general population beds at
the existing West County Detention facility.
Module M of the existing Martinez Detention facility
The project to remodel Module M of the existing Martinez Detention facility is the conversion of
approximately 25% of the existing M module into 5 mental health treatment rooms with
associated medical treatment rooms and nursing station and the remodel of the rest of M module
into a facility capable of handling return to competency programs and/or other mental health
programming for incarcerated persons.
Staff recommends Board approve the use of Design-Build methodology for the above projects
and authorize staff to begin the process by issuing Requests for Qualifications to begin to identify
and qualify interested teams for each project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving these actions could lead to increases in the cost of the projects through continued escalation
of construction costs during the longer design and bidding phases under the more traditional procurement
method.

Subject:MTC Priority Development Areas and Priority Production Areas
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 732
FISCAL IMPACT:
Failing to update, expand, or establish Priority Area designations may prevent the County from receiving MTC or other grant
funding for transportation, housing, and economic development projects in existing and potential Priority Areas throughout the
county.
BACKGROUND:
On June 17, 2019, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)
released an open call for letters of interest and letters of confirmation for Priority Areas based on new criteria developed by MTC.
The basis for MTC's Priority Area policies is established in climate change legislation, AB32 (2006) the Global Warming
Solutions and SB 375 (2008) Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act.
Priority Areas include PDAs, Priority Production Areas PPAs, a new pilot program, and Priority Conservation Areas (PCAs).
MTC assigned policy criteria to these locally designated planning areas to coordinate transportation, housing, and job growth, as
well as manufacturing, distribution, or similar types of industries. PDAs and PCAs are part of MTC’s Plan Bay Area 2050's
Regional Growth Framework. These areas inform MTC’s investments, and are often used as grant eligibility criteria by other
agencies or organizations.
This call allows local jurisdictions to revise existing Priority Area boundaries and nominate new Priority Areas, but also requires
jurisdictions with existing or new “Connected Community” Priority Development Areas to adopt policies to reduce Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT). The County must submit formal requests in order to comply with MTC’s updated criteria, and to revise or apply
for new Priority Areas. The following sections list these criteria and explain the rationale behind staff recommendations.
As stated above, one critical reason for refining and establishing the PDAs and PPAs is to ensure eligibility for funding. That
funding has typically come in the form of competitive grants. Once new grant cycles are announced, staff will develop a proposed
response, coordinate with the District offices, and seek Board of Supervisors approval for grant applications. Given the
multijurisdictional nature of the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative, staff will investigate opportunities with
neighboring agencies for a collaborative approach in order to increase our chances of success.
1. Priority Development Areas
MTC’s PDA Planning Program, defines PDAs as geographic areas that are:
-Within an urbanized area;
-Planned for significant housing growth, including affordable housing; and
-Served by an existing or planned rail station, ferry terminal, or bus stop served by a route, or routes, with peak bus frequencies of
20 minutes or less.
This map shows current PDA designations which are defined below:
“Transit-rich” PDA’s follow the above criteria but the majority of their land area must be within a half mile of an existing or
planned rail station, ferry terminal, or intersection of 2 or more bus routes with peak frequencies of 15 minutes or less (meets
state definition for Transit Priority Area).
“Connected Community” PDA’s must have the majority (50% or more) of their land area within a half mile of an existing or
planned bus route with frequencies of no more than 30 minutes in peak periods. They must also have one of the following criteria:
1. Located in a High Resource Area (HRA), as defined by the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD); or 2. Have adopted, or shown commitment to adopt two or more policies shown to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
Revised PDAs -Downtown El Sobrante
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 733
Revised PDAs -Downtown El Sobrante
Staff recommends the County expand the Downtown El Sobrante “Connected Community” PDA North along Appian Way until
Dalessi Drive, where the “Appian Way Corridor PDA” begins in Pinole (see Figure 1) and east along San Pablo Dam Road to
just east of May Road to include multifamily and commercial land uses. The County is currently updating its General Plan, and at
a visioning meeting on May 30th 2019, residents expressed a desire for more mixed-use development along Appian Way, and to
make the downtown area more pedestrian-friendly.
The County wishes to stimulate economic development in El Sobrante to work towards a better spatial balance of jobs and
housing.
Per General Plan policies 5-J, 5-L, and 5-24, investing in infrastructure for transit and active modes will reduce reliance on
driving.
Expanding this PDA will help the County be more competitive for grant opportunities, which will help achieve goals set by
both residents and the County.
Figure 1. Proposed Revision to Downtown El Sobrante PDA
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 734
Letter of Confirmation - Downtown El Sobrante
MTC requires jurisdictions to maintain “Connected Community” PDA status by submitting a “Letter of Confirmation” to confirm
the jurisdiction’s intent to adopt a VMT-reduction policy in one of three ways: 1. Parking and Transportation Demand
Management Ordinance or Citywide Impact Fee, 2. Vision Zero/Safety Plan or Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure Plan, or 3.
Another policy or plan documented by research to achieve significant VMT reduction.
DCD staff is currently developing a Vision Zero Plan in collaboration with the Public Works Department. CalTrans recently
awarded the County a Sustainable Communities Grant to create a bicycle and pedestrian action plan for unincorporated County
areas. These plans will be finished before 2025, and fulfill policy option 2 in the Letter of Confirmation.
Revised PDAs - Pittsburg/Bay Point
The existing Pittsburg/Bay Point PDA is proposed to be expanded to a half-mile radius around the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART
station because those are Transit-Rich PDA-eligible areas (see Figure 2). Because portions of the existing PDA falls outside of
the “transit-rich” eligible areas, CCTA will submit a letter of confirmation to designate those areas as a Connected Community
PDA. CCTA is currently discussing the feasibility of increasing transit service through these areas with TriDelta Transit and MTC
to achieve that Connected Community designation. According to MTC staff, confirming these designations will be conditional
upon CCTA and TriDelta Transit’s funding capacity and plans for bus frequencies in these PDA areas.
At the April 18, 2019 General Plan Update visioning meeting for Bay Point and Clyde, residents expressed a desire for better
connectivity, including better access to parks.
An expanded PDA boundary will increase the areas in which the County can coordinate transportation improvements with
focused growth around the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station.
The County's PDA needs to contract in one small area south of Highway 4 because it was annexed to the City of Pittsburg
subsequent to the County originally proposing to include it in the PDA.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 735
Figure 2. Proposed Revision to Pittsburg/Bay Point PDA
Remaining PDAs
DCD staff has reviewed the status of all the PDAs in, and impacting unincorporated Contra Costa County. The County’s PDA at
Contra Costa Centre is in compliance with no further action required at this time. The County’s PDA in North Richmond will
require a Letter of Confirmation from CCTA regarding transit service status.
The San Pablo Avenue PDA is a multijurisdictional effort among the West County cities and the County, and will require a Letter
of Confirmation from CCTA and/or WCCTAC regarding the status of transit service. DCD Transportation staff is in discussions
with those agencies regarding the provision of necessary documentation by the September 16 deadline.
New PDAs
While consideration was given to nominating Saranap, Crockett, and Pacheco as new PDAs, these communities fall outside of
PDA-eligible areas indicated on MTC’s “2019 Priority Development Area Letter of Interest Guide Map”. MTC requires that PDA
nominations for such areas submit plans for transit serving the area to reach 30 minute frequencies. There is currently no funding
mechanism available to reach that level of transit service. According to estimates from County Connection staff it would cost
nearly $500,000 annually to reach 30 minute frequencies on Route 1 on Boulevard Avenue, in Saranap. Crockett and Pacheco
have similar limitations with no funding mechanism to meet the headway requirement. Staff has and will continue to explore
options for identifying additional transit funding. At the present time, given these constraints, staff does not recommend
nominating any new PDAs.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 736
2. Priority Production Areas
This is a new program that MTC is piloting as part of the Plan Bay Area 2050 regional planning effort. The County has been
advocating that MTC develop a jobs-oriented incentive program for several years.
The intention of the pilot program is to protect and support the Bay Area’s industrial and manufacturing sector through the
provision of resources and implementation of streamlining actions. Thus, these PPAs should be whole districts that are consistent
with current land use designations, have the capacity to add jobs, spur economic growth and result in other desirable land use
outcomes. However, at this point in the pilot program, there is no associated grant funding. MTC is seeking PPA Letters of
Interest from jurisdictions, using the following selection criteria:
Has industrial/manufacturing uses and zoned for industrial uses;
Does not include land within one-half mile of a regional rail station;
No overlap with a PDA;
Within an urbanized area; and
Located in a jurisdiction that has a certified Housing Element.
There are a number of ways in which the County might benefit from identifying potential PPAs. The designated areas will be
officially recognized in the region’s long-range plan, Plan Bay Area 2050, which will promote and position them for future
investment. Similar to grant programs associated with PDAs, the assumption is that the PPA program will eventually include a
grant program through ABAG and MTC. Other investment may come from businesses that are looking to take advantage of the
PPA designation.
Staff reviewed areas throughout unincorporated Contra Costa, with a special focus on the Northern Waterfront Initiative area, for
compatibility with the PPA criteria and goals with a special focus on the Northern Waterfront. Ultimately, staff recommends
submitting Letters of Interest for three potential PPAs: Pacheco/North Concord (includes Northern Waterfront), Bay Point
(includes Northern Waterfront), and Byron Airport. These areas each contain large, contiguous portions of land that are already
zoned for industrial-type uses. The Pacheco/North Concord and Bay Point areas are within the Northern Waterfront, and Byron
Airport is considered complementary to the Northern Waterfront. Moreover, the proposed PPAs do not overlap with PDA-eligible
land, allowing for the option of future expansion of the PDAs down the road. The Pacheco and Bay Point PPAs are well situated
near affordable housing and transit, while the Byron Airport and Pacheco PPAs have the unique asset of regional airports which
could drive aviation and innovation companies to locate there.
Pacheco PPA
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 737
Pacheco PPA
The proposed Pacheco PPA (Figure 3) is a collection of parcels zoned for manufacturing, light industrial, and heavy industrial and
commercial use in the Pacheco-unincorporated North Concord-Buchanan Field area. It is bordered by the Urban Limit Line to the
north, City of Martinez to the west, City of Concord to the south, and by natural barriers to the east. The zone also includes
Buchanan Airport and is only a couple of miles from shipping channel docks. Highway 680 and Highway 4, both major arterials,
also border this zone, while rail tracks run along its northern section. There is a large cluster of industrial activities currently in
this area, considered to be within the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative area, with the biggest being the
Tesoro Golden Eagle Refinery. Advanced manufacturing is a key industry for its middle-wage jobs.
Figure 3. Proposed Pacheco PPA
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 738
Bay Point Waterfront PPA
The proposed Bay Point Waterfront PPA (Figure 4) is centrally located in Bay Point and primarily zoned for heavy industry
within the existing P-1 overlay. It is bordered by marshland to the north, residential neighborhoods east and west, and both
Willow Pass Road and an existing PDA to the south. Suisun Bay access is just to the north, while the Willow Pass Road and
Highway 4, both major arterials, are just south of the proposed PDA. The Henkel Corporation and Criterion Catalyst are existing
large employers within the proposed PPA , and are also some of the largest employers in the unincorporated County. As this area
is also within the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative area and has large developable parcels, advanced
manufacturing is a target industry to retain and attract.
Figure 4. Proposed Bay Point Waterfront PPA
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 739
Byron Airport PPA
The Byron Airport PPA (Figure 5) is the area within the ULL, but not designated Open Space, surrounding the Byron Airport. It
is primarily zoned P-1, with some agricultural designations. It is bordered by protected open space and habitat lands, on all sides
except the east, where agricultural lands are found. Vasco Road is a major arterial to the west. Currently, there is minimal
industry at this proposed PPA and it may not meet MTC’s “urbanized” standard. However, the County has worked to promote
private investment and development at the airport for many years, and there is anticipated growth in the in the innovation and
aviation industry.
Figure 5. Proposed Byron Airport PPA
In addition to the three PPAs within the unincorporated County, the staff recommendation includes a letter of support for the PPA
proposal for the Wilbur Avenue corridor (within the Northern Waterfront) that will be submitted by the City of Antioch. A small
section of Wilbur is unincorporated, but the preponderance is incorporated, so Antioch will be the administrative lead for the
submittal. The County and City are already cooperating in this area on the short-line rail feasibility study underway by the County.
3. Priority Conservation Areas
The County has previously coordinated with MTC to establish and maintain Priority Conservation Areas throughout the County
and staff has not identified the need for additional designations. A map of existing PCAs can be found here. No action is
necessary regarding Priority Conservation Areas (PCAs); no changes to the program are currently being proposed by MTC.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failing to update Priority Area designations may prevent the County from receiving MTC or other grant funding for
transportation, housing, and economic development projects in Priority Areas throughout the county.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) of the County of Contra Costa has established the
following Investment Policies and Guidelines Document (the “Document”) for the investment of
the trust fund (the “Trust”) of the Contra Costa County Post-Retirement Health Benefits Plan (the
“Plan”). The Board reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, supplement or
rescind this document.
II. OVERVIEW
The purpose of this Document is to assist the Board and the Portfolio Manager in effectively
supervising, monitoring and evaluating the investment of the Plan’s portfolio. The investment
program is defined in the various sections of the Document by:
A. Stating the Board’s attitudes, expectations, objectives and guidelines for the investment
of all assets.
B. Setting forth an investment structure for managing the Plan’s portfolio. This structure
includes various asset classes, investment management styles, asset allocation and
acceptable ranges that, in total are expected to produce an appropriate level of overall
diversification and anticipated total investment return over the investment time horizon.
C. Encouraging effective communications between the Board and the Portfolio Manager.
D. Complying with all applicable fiduciary, prudence and due diligence requirements
experienced investment professionals would utilize, and with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations of various local, state and federal entities that may impact the Plan’s
assets.
III. AUTHORITY
The investment of the assets for the Trust shall be in accord with applicable law, including but not
limited to the following:
A. Investments shall be solely in the interest of, and for the exclusive purposes of
providing benefits to the participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries, minimizing the
contributions of employers thereto, and defraying the reasonable expenses of
administering the Trust (Cal. Gov. Code Sec. 31595 (a)).
B. Investments shall be made with the care, skill prudence and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and
familiar with these matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character
and with like aims (Cal. Gov. Code Sec. 31595 (b)).
C. Investments shall be diversified so as to minimize the risk of loss and to maximize the
rate of return unless under the circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so (Cal.
Gov. Code Sec. 31585 (c)).
D. In considering potential investment managers, it is the policy of the Board not to
exclude managers from consideration based on ethnic background or gender, and not
to arbitrarily exclude an emerging firm if, in the opinion of the Board, that firm has equal
or superior capabilities to other candidates.
E. It shall be the policy of the Board that an Economically Targeted Investment (ETI) can
be considered if and only if it has return and risk circumstances attractive in
comparison to other alternatives.

Investment Manager Policies and Guidelines
The investment policies governing each investment manager hired by the County are as follows:
1. The investment manager is required to accept the responsibilities stated above. These
responsibilities include acting as a prudent expert and agreeing to be a fiduciary to the
County. The manager will seek to satisfy the County’s investment objectives. If a
problem exists with these objectives, it is the manager’s responsibility to formally discuss
these problems in a written communication to the Advisory Body and Plan Administrator.
Also, the manager agrees to satisfy the County’s prescribed requirements outlined in a
subsequent section.
2. Under any and all capital market environments, the investment manager agrees to
maintain the investment approach that it is was hired to implement. Significant changes
to the manager’s investment decision-making process are to be immediately reported in
writing to the Board and Plan Administrator. It is the responsibility of the investment
manager to fully educate the Board and Plan Administrator as to the specifics of its
investment process and internal research that may lead to changes in the firm’s
investment approach.
3. An investment portfolio constructed for the Board is expected to generally conform to
other portfolios managed by the investment organization, exclusive of specific investment
guidelines. When the Board guidelines require the investment manager to manage a
portfolio significantly different than its other portfolios, it is the responsibility of the
manager to communicate in writing the potential impact of the Board’s guidelines on the
portfolio.
4. The manager will otherwise treat the Plan’s portfolio in a manner similar to other
comparable portfolios in portfolio construction trading and in all other aspects.
5. Managers shall have full discretionary power to direct the investment, exchange,
liquidation and reinvest the assets of the Plan, but must meet the provisions of the
Board’s investment objectives and policies. The Board expects the manager to
recommend changes to this document at any time when the manager views any part of it
to be at variance with overall market and economic conditions.
6. Unless otherwise specified, portfolios are to be fully invested in allowable investment
securities. Under no circumstance shall an investment manager attempt to “market time”
investments in its portfolio(s).
VI. PORTFOLIO REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Quarterly Reports:
1. The investment objectives of the portfolio will be clearly stated. Next a narrative
description of the portfolio’s investment strategy will be provided with a discussion of the
factors that proved to be favorable and those that were unfavorable. In addition, a

any changes or modifications that were made to the process.
2. Portfolio performance before and after investment management fees:
The manager shall report the quarterly total portfolio rate of return before and after
investment management fees have been deducted, as well as cumulative and annual
performance on both bases since account inception. Also included in these tables will be

The investment manager will not make direct investments in any of the prohibited assets listed
above. However, external third-party managers hired by the investment manager may invest in
some of the assets listed above in order to achieve their stated investment objectives. For

combine long positions with short positions in order to produce a return stream that is less volatile
than the volatility a long-only strategy could achieve.
XII. FUND SELECTION PROCESS
Funds selected as investments in the Plan will be expected to have undergone a rigorous
screening process that searches for managers and styles that will produce above average returns
within acceptable risk parameters. The evaluation process will consider the following factors:

Fund assets
Manager tenure with fund
Expense ratios
Market capitalization
Style consistency
Number of holdings
Assets in top 10
Portfolio turnover
Sector weighting allocations
Standard deviation
Sharpe ratio
Performance evaluation of the Funds will take into consideration both performance relative to a
benchmark index as well as performance relative to a universe of the fund’s peers. Evaluation
metrics versus a representative benchmark will utilize a twelve-month rolling performance record
compared to a representative benchmark over a three, five, seven and ten-year period (if/when
available).
A fund is expected to rank above the median in its appropriate peer group for the three, five and
ten-year periods (if/when available).
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 753
Contra Costa County Investment Policies & Guidelines September August 20195
12
An additional requirement for all funds utilized in the Plan is that the fund families that sponsor the
funds will have filled out and returned a request for proposal (RFP) submitted to them by the
investment manager. This RFP will highlight significant areas such as organizational factors,
composition of assets, portfolio characteristics, investment process, fee structure, internal
compliance controls, and an overview of the investment personnel.
Investment mutual funds may be removed from the investment portfolio from time to time.
Factors that the investment manager will consider in regards to removing a fund include, but is
not limited to:
Performance that is inconsistent with the manager’s style or our expectations
Performance that conflicts with peers and style universes
Annualized return trails the benchmark or median return on a 3-year basis for more than
three consecutive quarters
Security selection not in agreement with the manager’s investment philosophy/process
Purchases that lead to abnormal portfolio concentrations
Sector and industry exposures that are inconsistent with the manager’s guidelines
Unusual tracking error to the benchmarks
Inadequate transparency between the manager’s comments and portfolio holdings
Inconsistencies related to the manager’s remarks on style, sector, and market cap
weightings
Instability at the manager’s investment management firm
Modifications to the investment process and/or risk controls that interfere with a firms
strategy
Staffing adjustments that may result in poor performance
The fund selection process described above is not required for any passive investments,
including index-based mutual funds or exchange-trade funds (ETFs).

News /Accomplishments
Effective late August 2019, the Community Services Bureau (CSB) will temporarily close
the doors to the Crescent Park Children’s center in Richmond . The closure is a result of
significant staffing challenges and slot reductions. CSB has implemented plans to ensure
that remaining children and staff transition to nearby centers, and available slots are
relocated to childcare partner sites throughout the county. CSB will continue to assess
the needs of Crescent Park in an effort to reopen the center soon.
CSB is working with EHSD to prepare a salary study of certain positions within the
Bureau to ensure we remain competitive and viable as the largest childcare provider in
the county.
CSB is preparing for an All-Staff Development Day on August 28, 2019 at the Centre
Concord. The theme for the event is “Bloom Where You Are Planted”. Staff will hear
from Education Consultant, Kenneth Wesson, and engage in workshops that will
strengthen ones professional and personal development, and the culture of the Bureau .
All CSB staff, including temporary employees, are required to attend. The Administration
Office and Childcare Centers will close for the day. Families and clients will be notified
well in advance. We are pleased that effective this year, the State Department of
Education will now reimburse programs for two staff development days per year.
CSB’s Teacher Apprentice Program is in full swing with six new participants enrolled for
the fall semester. Another five are expected to graduate this December, making the total
graduates to date sixteen. We are continuing to recruit with parents.
In collaboration with Contra Costa Health Services’ (CCHS) Community of Oral Health
Program, on-site dental assessments were provided to 52 Head Start and Early Head
Start children throughout the summer.
CSB and Behavioral Health staff met and are in the process of renewing a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) with Contra Costa Health Services to include various options
for ensuring that Head Start children receive mental health services reflective of the
social-emotional support they need.
Division Manager, Christina Reich, and Assistant Director, Pam Arrington, attended the
Mental Health Interns 2018-19 year-end meeting /training. In addition to thanking the
team for supporting the social-emotional needs of our children and for their meaningful

inspiring, yet practical ideas that will support their professional development. CSB
Nutritionist, Sophia Talbot attended the 10th Biennial Childhood Obesity Conference in
Anaheim in July, and Health Manager, Cathy Lucero, attended the Managing
Comprehensive Health Services Conference in New Orleans in July.
CSB families receiving General Child Care, State Preschool, Stage 2 and Alternative
Payment services completed the 2019-18 Parent Survey. CSB Managers reviewed the
results to determine our strengths and areas of improvement review. Last program
year, over ninety percent of our families were satisfied with the overall quality of the
programs, and felt safe leaving their child in our care. Because of our services, parents
were able to accept or sustain employment, and attend educational/training programs.
CSB will continue to promote and strengthen our programs in order to better support
families in need (see attached).
CSB’s childcare partner, Baby Yale, will be serving 60 Head Start children in their Harvest
Park Center in Brentwood, bringing much needed services to East County.
The Economic Opportunity Council (EOC) will spend Saturday, August 3, developing a
two year strategic plan based on the recently completed Community Action Plan.
Members of the EOC, who are skilled facilitators will lead the effort.
EOC Member Ajit Kaushal, has won the Avril Weisman Board Scholarship from the

attend the National Community Action Partnership conference in Chicago, IL with all
expenses paid.

Subject:ACCEPT the report “Climate Resilience in Contra Costa County: Implementing the ART Study,” prepared by the UC

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 797
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In 2017, the Delta Stewardship Council asked BCDC and the County to conduct an ART study for East
County (Pittsburg to the eastern boundary of the County). The Board of Supervisors on May 23, 2017,
invited BCDC to extend the study to eastern Contra Costa County, as recommended by the Ad Hoc
Committee for the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative. That study is ongoing and is
expected to conclude later this year.
When the ART Study for East County is complete, the County will have even more data about potential
impacts of rising waters along the Contra Costa shoreline. What the ART studies do not provide are
recommendations for how to take action with this information, including how to govern and fund any
initiatives that might be formed to address these issues.
The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) successfully applied in November 2018 to
the UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy for a student team to examine the ART studies and
recommend potential actions the County and its many partners can take moving forward. The Goldman
School team worked pro bono under the direction of the County’s Sustainability Coordinator to develop
a written report (attached). Following completion of the report, two members of the team worked this
summer as interns in DCD and the Department of Health Services, and provided two lunchtime
seminars for County staff on the ART studies and the recommendations in the Goldman School report
(see attached presentation).
The Goldman School report recommends the County create a cross-sector working group to review
vulnerabilities from rising tides, share information, coordinate policies, and develop a long-term vision
regarding adapting to rising tides. Other governance structures considered in the report, and
recommended for future consideration as collaboration around climate resilience deepens across the
County, include memoranda of understanding and joint powers authorities. The report details the key
steps in launching a working group and recommends an initial list of stakeholder organizations to
engage. It also provides information on potential funding sources that could be pursued to fund
implementation of the ART studies.
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors accept the UC Berkeley Goldman School ART report and,
refer the report to the Sustainability Committee for further consideration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to accept the report, consider its findings, and make it available to the public means the County
foregoes an opportunity to anticipate and plan for potential hazards that could impact life and property in
Contra Costa County.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND: This report analyzes the
challenge of implementing best practices
and governance around adapting to rising
tides in Contra Costa County (“the County”),
specifically along the San Joaquin River
Delta. Recommendations are based on the
findings of the 2017 Adapting to Rising
Tides (ART) study conducted by the San
Francisco Bay Conservation and
Development Commission (BCDC). The first
phase of this study, which extends from
Richmond to Baypoint, is complete (referred
to as “ART Study West”). The second phase,
which extends through East County, is
ongoing as of May 2019 (referred to as “ART Study East”; see map.)
KEY CHALLENGES: The County’s shoreline is at risk of permanent and temporary flooding. The
ART Study West estimates that sea levels in the County may rise 2-12 inches by 2030, 5-24 inches
by 2050, and 17-66 inches by 2100. As a result, the following vulnerabilities have been identified:
1. Water Dependent Industries: Damage to transportation and utility connections that
could impair or halt service to the County’s water-dependent industries.
2. Creekside Communities: Flooding of residential areas, specifically impacting vulnerable
populations such as low-income, elderly, and mobility-challenged communities.
3. Access to Services: Damage to transportation routes and flooding of facilities impacts
access to law enforcement, fire districts, health services, schools, water, and waste services.
4. Ad-hoc Flood Protection: Harm to and decreased utility of assets currently providing
ad-hoc flood protection, such as railways, shoreline parks, and tidal wetlands.
5. Jobs & Employment Sites: Flooding of shoreline employment sites or damage to
transportation infrastructure critical for commuting.
6. Parks & Open Space: Damage to parks and open spaces, which often provide ad-hoc
flood protection as well as recreational and therefore public health services that are difficult
to replace.
Figure 1: ART Study West Boundaries
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 801
KEY FINDINGS: The potential damage posed by rising tides requires
county-wide action. According to a study by the National Institute of Building
Sciences, “each $1 spent on mitigation saves an average of $6 in future
disaster costs.”1 Currently, there is not one entity that has the jurisdiction to
coordinate, let alone implement, the needed adaptions. Therefore, this paper
outlines three governance structures (Working Group, Memorandum of
Understanding, Joint Powers Agreement) that could help the County address
the vulnerabilities caused by rising tides. The governance structures vary in
their ease of establishment, ability to leverage funding, legal authority, and
ability to expand.
This report also identifies potential funding sources at the local, state, and federal level that the
County can use to fund this work (Appendix A). The analysis of funding sources recognizes that
different types and levels of funding are appropriate for different governance structures.
KEY RECOMMENDATIONS: The County should create a cross-sector working
group to review vulnerabilities, share information, coordinate polices, and develop
a long-term vision regarding adapting to rising tides. Section B of the report details
the key steps in launching a working group around adapting to rising tides in the
County.
While we believe creating the working group is the key recommendation, the other governance
structures should also be considered. Other structures may become more politically feasible and
useful as collaboration around climate resilience deepens across the County. Section A of the
report provides an overview of possible governance structures to coordinate a response to rising
tides.

SECTION A: GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES
1. IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
A. THE THREAT OF RISING TIDES IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
Communities, businesses, natural areas, and services near Contra Costa County’s shoreline are at
risk of flooding due to rising tides. While information on sea level rise and potential flooding has
previously been available through sources such as the National Research Council, the Adapting
to Rising Tides (ART) studies seek to detail the local and regional impacts of flooding so that
communities can address those vulnerabilities.
The ART assessment of Contra Costa County (the County) is divided into two studies. The first
phase, which extends from Richmond to Baypoint, is complete and published (referred to as “ART
Study West”). The second phase, which extends through East County, is ongoing as of May 2019
and is conducted in partnership with the Delta Stewardship Council, the Bay Conservation and
Development Commission (“BCDC”), and the Contra Costa County Office of Sustainability (referred
to as “ART Study East”; see map.).
While the report does not cover the entire county, the ART West report does cover a significant
portion of the county and projects many of the county-wide risks at hand. Furthermore, while the
exact amount of flooding depends on various weather and climate factors, numerous studies and
datasets all show that there will be increased flooding across the county’s shorelines. The range
of sea level rise predicted by the ART studies account for different climate scenarios and sources
of flooding.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 803
The ART Study West estimates that sea levels may rise 2-12 inches by 2030, 5-24 inches by 2050,
and 17-66 inches by 2100 in Contra Costa County.2 Using these estimates combined with National
Research Council Data, the ART Study West quantifies the damage posed by sea-level rise across
Contra Costa County, with particular emphasis on what is at risk across sectors and for the most
vulnerable communities in the county.
The ART Study East will use updated guidance based on newly available data from the Ocean
Protection Council. The assessment is using updated modeling techniques to better understand
the consequence of rising tides from the Bay as well as freshwater rivers. The model will assess
potential flooding at 12”, 36”, and 83” of water level rise , thereby accounting for a variety of
scenarios.3
The predicted damages faced by the entire County will primarily be incurred through temporary
and permanent flooding. Even temporary flooding – which will likely become more frequent,
longer-lasting, and more wide-spread – can cause irreversible damage. The ART Study West
categorized these risks by the estimated amount of flooding in a given area using BCDC models,
and the ART Study East will use a similar format. Table 1 summarizes the assets at risk of damage,
categorized by sector.

Damage caused by flooding across the shoreline could have severe economic impacts. The
County’s economy, which relies on transportation and warehousing, construction and
manufacturing,5 would likely suffer as a result of damage to the water-dependent industries,
transportation infrastructure, and the 750+ business assets along the shoreline. Damage to
5 Data USA Contra Costa County, CA
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 805
infrastructure and services that span the County – such as energy, water supply, and highways –
could prevent or slow commutes and the transport of goods. These damages are likely to have a
regional impact, as the County provides jobs, goods, services, and recreational activities for people
throughout the Bay Area.
Furthermore, flooding damage can impact the health, safety, and quality of life of the County’s
residents. Over 1,000 households are directly at risk of flooding or damage, as well as nearly 80
of the county’s hospitals, schools, and services. The communities most at risk from rising tides are
those that are the least mobile in the face of crisis – such as those who cannot afford to relocate,
do not speak English as their first language, or have limited physical mobility. These include low-
income communities, communities of color, and senior citizens. Additionally, sudden flooding can
release hazardous material into the water supply, leading to lead to public health crises and
destruction of wildlife habitats.
B. A COORDINATED RESPONSE IS NEEDED
In the face of these threats, the ART report details actions that stakeholders across all sectors can
take to respond and adapt to sea-level rise. The recommendations are primarily focused on
preventing future disasters, reducing harm from flooding, and adapting to make the County more
resilient and prosperous. According to a study by the National Institute of Building Sciences, “each
$1 spent on mitigation saves an average of $6 in future disaster costs.”6 Acting before more
flooding occurs is key to preventing irreversible and costly damage.
All entities with ownership of coastal lands play an important role, including business, industry,
homeowners, and the public sector. However, acting alone is insufficient. Given that rising tides
are a regional issue, piecemeal changes will fall short of securing all of the County’s shoreline
against flood-related threats.
While conversations and initiatives around rising tides are taking place throughout the County,
there is no collaboration that is county-wide and unites both the public and private sector.
Furthermore, there is not one entity with a clear source of funding or regulatory authority to
implement the ART findings county-wide.
Greater collaboration is therefore needed. Depending on the goal of the collaboration, different
governance structures can be employed. While county-wide regulation or planning is one way of
achieving a more resilient shoreline, there are other actions that stakeholders can undertake

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 806
collaboratively. For example, information sharing or conducting smaller-scale projects would also
vastly improve the county’s ability to minimize its vulnerability to flooding. The below scenarios
account for a variety of goals and actions.
2. METHODOLOGY
Our primary methodology for completing this project was cross-sector stakeholder interviews and
a review of relevant case studies of similar regional planning projects. Our team spoke with
members of the Contra Costa Office of Sustainability (our primary client); the Contra Costa County
supervisors who have jurisdiction over the waterfront of the Delta; and the Bay Conservation and
Development Commission who has jurisdiction over the area of the first ART Study West.
In meetings with these stakeholders, they have mentioned various regional planning projects that
are illustrative of challenges and successes that inform best practices relevant to this project. An
overview of the potential governance structures for implementation of the ART Study West
findings is outlined, along with potential priorities, advantages and disadvantages.
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
After conducting interviews and case studies, we believe that creating a working group to
coordinate a response to rising tides is the most politically feasible and will lay the needed
groundwork for future collaboration around climate resilience.
In addition to detailing the County’s vulnerabilities in the face of rising tides, the ART Study West
outline specific actions that could help reduce these vulnerabilities. However, implementing these
findings requires coordination between the many stakeholders who may be impacted by rising
tides, especially those with jurisdiction over the shoreline. In the absence of an existing agency
that has sole jurisdiction over shoreline planning and regulation, our report recommends various
governance structures and funding opportunities to encourage collaboration both in the short
and long-term.
Currently, creating an organization with centralized authority does not appear to be politically
feasible. Furthermore, not all of the relevant stakeholders agree that adapting to rising tides is an
immediate priority. Therefore, we expect that collaboration must start on a smaller and more
informal scale, which we envision as a working group. As trust and joint vision are developed,
larger-scale projects might take root. To implement these larger projects, more formal and
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 807
centralized governance will be required, as well as larger funding sources. We outline two
governance tools (MOUs and JPAs) that could help achieve these larger initiatives. While it may
not be currently politically feasible, other counties have created independent agencies to
coordinate climate resilience initiatives, and a case study depicting this fourth option is includedl.
The governance structures provide a potential trajectory for long-term collaboration, and our case
studies have shown that regional collaborations have often follow similar patterns. However, these
structures are not prescriptive. For example, a working group does not need to exist for a
Memorandum of Understanding to be implemented or a Joint Powers Agreement to be formed.
However, the order of these governance structures does illustrate that initiating smaller projects
across the county will increase the likelihood of taking on larger-scale programs due to the
development of shared trust, vision, and resources.
Because our primary recommendation is to launch a working group, we have included specific
steps for visioning and launching this group in Section B. Funding sources are included in
Appendix A.
CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES
The below governance structures are evaluated using the following criteria:7
● Ease of establishment: A governance structure that is easy to establish will be low on
financial costs, time investments, legal and reporting requirements.
● Ability to leverage funding: Funding can leveraged either by applying to grants and
loans or by creating a financing mechanism within the governance structure itself.
● Legal authority: Legal authority entails not only jurisdiction to act, but also liability. Legal
authority allows for larger and more coordinated action, but also is more bureaucratic to
establish and maintain.
● Ability to expand: Given the nature of rising tides, a useful governance structure should
be able to gradually expand in size or scope as the issue becomes more pressing and more
stakeholders are brought onboard.
7 The criteria used here are based off of the evaluation criteria used by San Mateo County in a report appendix: “San Mateo County –
New Agency Proposal: Governance Matrix Technical Memorandum.” Resilient San Mateo. October 2018.

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 808
A. WORKING GROUP
DEFINITION AND PURPOSE
A working group is a committee of stakeholders gathering regularly to share, discuss, study, and
plan around a particular issue or question. The County’s working group would bring public,
private, and community stakeholders together around the topic of adapting to rising tides. A list
of city assets listed in Appendix B can serve as a good starting point for outreach and
engagement.
The initial purpose of the working group is to share information on the vulnerabilities identified
in the ART report, review suggested actions, and develop a shared understanding of what is at
stake. Afterwards, more information sharing can take place, such as sharing existing activities
related to improving climate resilience and identifying joint goals.
In addition to information sharing, the working group could serve as a platform for coordinating
around shared priorities. For example, city, county, and regional governments could develop a set
of planning priorities related to flood prevention and agree to separately implement those policies
in their own jurisdictions.
While it may require time, the working group could also serve as a platform for developing shared
projects. These projects could range from education campaigns, improving emergency plans,
conducting vulnerability studies, or restoring habitats and wetlands. However, conducting shared
projects requires funding, and as detailed below, the working group cannot generate independent
funding. Creating an MOU could provide more formality to these shared projects.
EFFECTIVENESS CRITERIA
● Ease of establishment: Easier to establish financially and legally. However, recruiting all
relevant key stakeholders across sectors and maintaining interest is time-intensive and
requires high-touch engagement.
● Ability to leverage funding: Limited. The working group is not a legal entity and cannot
generate independent financing mechanisms. An operating budget must be identified,
and funding for projects must come from grants or be shouldered by one or multiple
stakeholders.
● Legal authority: None. This is a non-legally binding structure.
● Ability to expand: High. Once stakeholders are identified and recruited, there is great
ability to expand a working group in scope and membership.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 809
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
We believe that a working group is a necessary, preliminary governance mechanism to spur
county-wide action across sectors. The group can serve as a platform to identify the common
goals, abilities, and needs of individual stakeholders. Because it is informal and not a legal entity,
the working group presents lower barriers to entry for stakeholders who are hesitant about
committing to adaptation projects. Furthermore, community organizations and the private sector
can participate as equal members of the working group, as membership is not barred to just
government entities.
Disadvantages to a working group include the time-intensive process of identifying and recruiting
a representative group of stakeholders, especially given the limited resources currently available
for this effort and ambiguity on where to house the initiative. Furthermore, while the informality
creates lower barriers to entry, this informality also hinders collaboration on large-scale projects.
Larger, county-wide projects will require more resources than may be readily available within a
working group, and stakeholders will likely want more clearly defined enforcement mechanisms
than what a working group can provide. Should this issue surface, it may indicate the need for a
new governance structure.
For more detailed information on launching a working group in the County, see Section B:
Launching a Working Group.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 810
B. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DEFINITION AND PURPOSE
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is an agreement between two or more parties that
identifies shared goals to be jointly pursued. MOUs can be designed as legal contracts, but are
often created to express a shared commitment. MOUs can outline shared goals or policies,
enforcement mechanisms, expectations, roles, responsibilities, or funding agreements.8
Within the County, MOUs could be used to formalize commitment to shared goals that emerges
from the working group. An MOU could also create governance structures for projects that require
more precisely defined roles and responsibilities.
For example, an MOU could be symbolic, such as an agreement that all stakeholders will strive to
meet particular resiliency-related goals or will implement particular policies in their general plans.
An MOU could also be signed by a variety of stakeholders as an agreement to share a particular
type of data, such as monitoring stormwater usage. An MOU could also be used to document the
roles and responsibilities, including funding agreements, between multiple stakeholders in the
implementation of a joint project.
EFFECTIVENESS CRITERIA
● Ease of establishment: Moderately time-intensive to establish, but depends largely on
complexity of project and number of stakeholders involved.
● Ability to leverage funding: Limited, because it is not a formal entity and cannot generate
independent funds, such as levying taxes, issuing bonds, creating special assessment
districts. However, it can outline resource commitments by signatories and outline plans
for specific projects that can then receive grant funding (although one organization would
have to take point on managing grant funding).
● Legal authority: Can but does not have to be legally binding, depending on the language.
Does not create any new legal regulatory authority.

https://changelabsolutions.org/sites/default/files/MOU-vs-Contracts_FINAL_20120117.pdf.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 811
● Ability to expand: An MOU can be used to lay the groundwork for more legal, formal
collaborations. Additional MOU can serve as amendments if goals or responsibilities
change during implementation.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
An MOU is a flexible tool that can be adapted to the type of goal at hand. It adds more formality
to activities such as those that might emerge from the working group and can incorporate private
and community partners as equal signatories. Because the signatories develop the MOU
collaboratively, stakeholders may be more willing to put resources on the line when it is on their
terms. Furthermore, outlining roles and resource requirements decreases the risk of one
stakeholder shirking and can identify methods of resolving conflict.
Because the MOU does not create a legal entity, the types of funding, and therefore projects, that
can be generated are still limited. Furthermore, an MOU may not lead to actionable results if the
MOU does not include detailed responsibilities or consequences for not completing the agreed-
upon terms. Finally, creating an MOU requires collaboration that may be time-consuming
depending on the complexity of the agreement and the number of signatories.
CASE-STUDIES OF MOUs
The Long-Term Restoration Planning for Baylands MOU
Source
Purpose: The MOU details the structure of collaboration, program timeline, and amount of funding each
signatory will contribute towards long-term restoration and planning for Baylands.
Signatories: U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Game, and the Coastal
Conservancy
Relevance: The MOU outlines governance structures to implement programming around bayland
restoration, which could be applied to the County’s efforts around adapting to rising tides. For example,
the MOU develops an executive (leadership) team, a committee to conduct public outreach, and several
teams with subject-matter or technical expertise. The MOU also creates a general work plan for achieving
the broader goal of restoration, such as conducting needs assessments, environmental reviews,
monitoring plans, and strategies.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 812
The Coastal Sage Scrub MOU
Source
Purpose: To “implement a policy of coordination and cooperation by and between the [parties] regarding
the development of conservation strategies for effective, long term protection of the Coastal Sage Scrub
natural community and its associated sensitive species in Southern California.”
Signatories: U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Game
Relevance: Coordinated the necessary participation of two different levels of government that share
jurisdiction over a key resource. Specifically, it leaves the responsibility for developing and monitoring
the conservation strategy with the state-level agency, but requires strong information sharing and
coordination with the federal-level agency. The County could use similar structures for coordinating
agreement between city, county, state, regional, and federal governments.
Sierra Forest Fire MOU
Source
Purpose: “To advance the use of fire for ecological benefit and improved fire management.” Specifically,
the activities in need of coordination include, “minimizing barriers to implementing fire use by improving
smoke management coordination and engaging in public education and outreach, to help increase
capacity to use wildland fire through expanded training opportunities and resource sharing.”
Signatories: State and federal land/resource management agencies, environmental groups, and regional
fire councils
Relevance: Coordinated a large number of stakeholders. The MOU began with 12 parties and currently
has 37. This shows that large-scale coordination of departments and agencies across multiple levels of
government is possible when the goal is clear and perceived as urgent.
The Under 2
Source
Purpose: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius by
2050. This means that signatories of this MOU will “pursue emission reductions consistent with a
trajectory of 80 to 95 percent below 1990 levels, by 2050 and/or achieving a per capita annual emission
goal of less than 2 metric tons by 2050.”
Signatories: Signed by over 220 governments across 43 countries (including California)
Relevance: The MOU shows that it is possible to use an MOU to decrease the harmful impacts of climate
change even when said harms are not yet fully actualized disasters. The County could similarly use an
MOU to state the overall goal that a variety of stakeholders work towards, but remain independently
responsible for implementing.

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with respect to the proposed project, the project proposal submitted
to the Forest Service with a request for a special use permit and any other connected actions, such as
forest closures. In order to facilitate the - Parties compliance with their respective laws, the Parties have
agreed to do a joint EIR/EIS.”
Signatories: California Department of Fish and Game and the Plumas National Forest.
Relevance: Illustrates how an MOU can facilitate a specific project (EIR/EIS) necessary to bring a larger
policy change (eradicating northern pike from Lake Davis).

C. JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
DEFINITION AND PURPOSE
A Joint Powers Authority (JPA) is a legal entity that “is established when two or more public
agencies by agreement jointly exercise any power common to the contracting agencies.”9 Member
agencies do not need to have authority in the same geographic areas, and can either function as
two or more separate entities in agreement (and referred to as a Joint Powers Agreement), or as
a new, separate public legal entity that can enter into contracts, sue and be sued and hold property
(Joint Powers Authority or Agency).10
A JPA could be created between the city, county, and other public agencies in the County to
develop joint programming around rising tides, as well as allow for monitoring, sanctioning and
conflict resolution for and between stakeholders. JPAs are best applied to policy challenges that
span jurisdictions and require coordinated efforts to address, such as environmental policy,
insurance pooling, and transportation or infrastructure planning. The coordination allows for
greater cost-savings and efficiency compared to each jurisdiction implementing independent
programming. In the context of the County and rising tides, the JPA’s purpose would likely be
planning, regulation, or service provision.
B. EFFECTIVENESS CRITERIA
● Ease of establishment: Difficult to establish and maintain, but depends largely on number
of stakeholders involved.
● Ability to leverage funding: Expansive, including issuing bonds (depending on the
jurisdiction of member agencies). More likely to have the capacity to apply for and
implement larger grants than a MOU or working group.
● Legal authority: Depending on the language, can create legal entity that can sue and be
sued, hold property, enter into contracts.
● Ability to expand: The flexibility of JPA content and legal authority allows for expansion
of projects and initiatives.

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 815
C. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Because adapting to rising tides is a regional challenge that requires steady financing and the
cooperation of a variety of government entities, a JPA would be an effective way of coordinating
services among a wide variety of stakeholders. The biggest advantage of a JPA is that it can create
new revenue streams and issue bonds, dependent on their member’s authorities. Furthermore,
JPAs can issue revenue bonds without voter approval, although each member must adopt a local
ordinance allowing it, which includes a 30-day period for voters to petition the ordinance.11
JPAs are also extremely flexible and do not prescribe a particular decision-making or governance
structure. Although the membership is primarily public agencies, state law allows non
governmental organizations to also enter in these agreements, and the private sector can serve
on the decision-making board.
JPAs require a high degree of trust and agreement among the parties involved. Because
collaborating around rising tides is still relatively new among the County’s governments, it may
not be politically feasible at this point in time. Furthermore, creating a legal entity requires that it
conduct annual reporting and other time-intensive bureaucratic requirements.
CASE-STUDIES OF JPAS
The San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority
Source
Purpose: The SFCJPA is “leading four main projects to stabilize, restore, and maintain the channel of the
San Francisquito Creek” as well as “design and plan capital projects to increase flood protection that
benefit the natural environment.”
Signatories: City of East Palo Alto, City of Menlo Park, City of Palo Alto, San Mateo County Flood Control
District, Santa Clara Valley Water District.
Relevance: The four capital improvements projects are examples of initiatives that a County-based JPA
could undertake. Initiatives include an engineering feasibility study, creek restoration, environmental
impact studies, real-time creek monitoring, and issuing Request for Proposals for flood warning systems.

Purpose: Coordinates initiatives to improve climate protection and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
within Sonoma County. The RCPA focuses on applying to grant funding and implementing projects
related to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including data collection efforts and public education
campaigns.
Signatories: Sonoma County, City of Santa Rosa, City of Cotati, Town of Windsor, City of Petaluma, City of
Healdsburg, City of Sonoma, City of Cloverdale, City of Rohnert Park, City of Sebastopol
Relevance: The County could use a JPA to conduct a similar approach to coordinated projects, particularly
collecting data around rising tides or creating public awareness campaigns around the threat posed by
rising tides. Public awareness initiatives include hosting events and forums or creating communities of
practice.
The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC)

September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 817
Relevance: Demonstrates how a JPA can coordinate funding for joint activities from member parties.
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)
Source
Purpose: ABAG was formed by a JPA in 1961 and has voluntary membership and limited statutory
authority. ABAG has a general assembly, executive board and four committees: administrative, finance,
regional planning and legislation. ABAG is funded by membership dues, fees for service programs, and
grants from federal, state and local governments.
Signatories: 9 counties and 101 cities in the Bay Area.
Relevance: This case study shows that a larger network, including the key stakeholders for Contra Costa
County climate resilience, already exists, and has been working together on regional issues for decades.
Furthermore, if the County creates a JPA with a membership, a similar general assembly and committee
structure could help foster decision-making.
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
San Mateo County, while economically and demographically different from Contra Costa County,
has had similar conversations around creating governance structures to coordinate adaption to
rising tides.
The trajectory of collaboration in San Mateo County could serve as an interesting case study and
resource for Contra Costa County. Although San Mateo County is currently undergoing efforts to
expand an existing agency to cover climate resiliency efforts, it has previously used working
groups, JPAs, and MOUs to collaborate on this topic.
The following resources help provide context to resiliency efforts in San Mateo County and the
different phases of collaboration that county stakeholders engaged in:
• Resilient San Mateo: Website for resiliency efforts in San Mateo County. They have
used state and federal representatives to make the case for why an agency is needed
and have created accessible language to inform the public about why action is needed.
• Governance Matrix: An extensive, technical report outlining different governance and
funding strategies that San Mateo County considered before deciding on creating a
new agency.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 818
• Background on Collaboration and Governance Proposal: Details the history of
collaboration within San Mateo County and makes the case for creating an county
agency focused on resiliency.
Additionally, as work on climate resiliency expands, multiple of these governance structures could
be used to target action within particular sectors or planning issues. However, a county-wide
initiative to at least coordinate and share information will remain necessary.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 819
SECTION B. WORKING GROUP STRATEGY
Creating a working group to coordinate a response to rising tides is a natural first step for the
County. Currently, it does not appear there is enough political agreement to create a regulatory
or planning agency that will implement the needed changes. Additionally, a working group can
serve as a low-stakes platform by which collaborative projects are identified and planned, allowing
political will to build gradually.
Building an effective working group will require up-front planning to set the context, define broad
goals, and ensure that all the relevant stakeholders are at the table. After our interviews, we believe
that key stakeholders must first be engaged to build support for the working group. The following
steps can begin immediately and are expected to take 3-6 months, depending on the amount of
staff time available for coordination:
1. Create a Planning Committee
2. Identify Working Group Participants
a) Government and Private Sector Participants
b) Community Organizations
c) Private Sector Engagement
3. Develop a Cohesive Messaging Strategy
a) City Assets and Barriers
b) Sample Communications Language
4. Identify Resource Needs and Secure Funding
5. Set Launch Date and Plan First Meeting
6. Develop Operating Procedures
7. Plan Meaningful Action
8. Relevance to Other Governance Structures
1. CREATE A PLANNING COMMITTEE
Convene a small planning committee to serve as both the face of the working group in the initial
start-up period and to provide coordination and technical support. The Community Resilience
Building Workshop Guide (p4) recommends convening the planning committee 2-6 months
before the intended launch of the larger working group. Furthermore, the planning committee
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 820
should identify a work plan for the launch and set specific goals for the initial working group
meetings.
The recommended planning team for the County consists of representatives from the following
offices/teams:
● County Supervisor: A supervisor could provide the political leadership to get
stakeholders to the table and communicate the need for collaboration.
● County Administrator: The County Administrator’s Office has high visibility, political
clout, and could unite city and county entities.
● County DCD: Provides technical and subject-matter knowledge, including coordinating
with BCDC and the ART Reports.
In the lead-up to the working group launch, the planning team will need to conduct outreach to
amplify the need for the working group. As a result of time and resource constraints, as well as
ideological differences, it is evident that adapting to rising tides is not currently a priority for all
stakeholders. Therefore, the planning team must engage in one-on-one meetings with key
stakeholders to make the case for why action is needed. Furthermore, the planning team must
identify stakeholders that are hesitant to participate and conduct more targeted outreach to
communicate both the value of the working group and the threat posed by inaction. In particular,
using collaboration as a tool to secure new funding may resonate with cities.
The planning team should develop a preliminary mission statement for the working group, with
the understanding that it will change. Draft language is included below to serve as a starting point.
SAMPLE MISSION STATEMENT:
“Permanent and temporary flooding is predicted across Contra Costa County’s shoreline,
threatening damage to our communities and livelihoods. While cities, the County, community
organizations, and businesses have taken individual action to protect against rising tides, greater
collaboration is needed. The working group aims to create a space for conversation around how
we can better secure our shoreline, as well as obtain the resources we need to turn these visions
into action.”
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 821
2. IDENTIFY WORKING GROUP PARTICIPANTS
The ideal working group participants include all stakeholders in the County with jurisdiction over
shoreline land or who are projected to be impacted by rising tides. In addition to government
entities, community organizations and the private sector are key to providing a holistic and diverse
perspective on shoreline planning.
A. GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE-SECTOR PARTICIPANTS
The below table captures recommendations on stakeholders to be included within the working
group. The membership of the ART Working Group can also be used to inform invitees. The
following questions can be used to consider who else may need to be at the table:
● What communities and organizations are most affected by projected flooding? Which of
these may not traditionally have a seat at the table?
● What stakeholders hold the most influence in this policy area and are key to have on
board?
● What expertise needs to be included in the working group? Expertise is not only
technical or professional, but also includes lived experience.

B. COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
Meaningful community engagement is a necessary component of implementing the ART
recommendations. In particular, frontline communities must be part of the working group
membership. The Our Communities, Our Power report defines frontline communities as “groups
of people who are directly affected by climate change and inequality in society at higher rates
than people who have more power in society...People who experience oppression because of race,
income, gender, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, age, etc. are more likely to have less
resources and protections in our society in general and even less access to resources and
protections not only to adapt to our changing climate but also to pass policies and legislation
that are fair and culturally significant.”
Frontline communities not only need to lead in defining the problem and informing solutions, but
they are also key to informing the public at large about the threat of rising tides in the County.
Suggested community organizations to reach out to include:
● Contra Costa Interfaith Housing: CCIH heals the effects of poverty and homelessness by
providing permanent housing solutions and vital support services to highly vulnerable
families and individuals.

● Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County. ICCC is a collection of 110 congregations,
monasteries and retreat centers that join to make Contra Costa County a better place.
Sustainability issues are among the topics on which ICCC works.
The following resources provide more information on how to center frontline communities within
resilience strategies:
● Our Communities, Our Power: The NAACP provides an in-depth guide on how to
convene communities and action around environmental issues that center people of
color and frontline communities.
● Community Resilience Building: “is a unique, ‘anywhere at any scale’, community-driven
process, rich with information, experience, and dialogue, where participants identify top
hazards, current challenges, strengths, and priority actions to improve community
resilience to all natural and climate-related hazards today, and in the future.”
C. STRATEGIZE PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT
Potential private sector partners include:
● Tesoro Golden Eagle Martinez Refinery (owned by Andeavor)
● Martinez IT Vine Hill Complex and Acme Landfills
● Tesoro Martinez and Shell Martinez refineries
● Chevron Richmond Refinery
● Republic Services
● Pacific Gas and Electric
● Plains All American Pipelines
● East Bay Economic Development Alliance
● Agriculture/farms

key principles for engaging with the private sector around development outcomes.
• Businesses Acting on Rising Seas: A report meant to inform businesses about how rising
tides may affect them, and how businesses around the country are contributing to
resiliency efforts. Case studies and sample language could be found in this report.
• Guide to Public-Private Collaboration on Climate Resiliency Planning: Report outlines
messages that resonate with business around the importance of climate resilience
planning as well as outlines key considerations in engaging with the private sector.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 825
3. DEVELOP A COHESIVE MESSAGING STRATEGY
In addition to articulating a working group mission, a communications
strategy is needed to bring stakeholders to the table and align
expectations. In particular, targeted outreach to stakeholders who may
be hesitant to join the working group must be conducted by the
planning team.
A successful communications strategy describes the threat of rising
tides using non-technical terms and uses local examples to illustrate what rising tides means for
the County’s future. Communication should both frame what is at stake but also highlight the
opportunity to build on existing successes. Each stakeholder should be able to understand how
participation will benefit them, as well as also see their role in achieving a broader goal.
A. CITY ASSETS AND BARRIERS TABLE
In Appendix B there is an assets and
barriers map was created to help the
planning team consider why each city
might be motivated to participate in a
rising tides working group.
Understanding each city’s unique
constraints – as well as what assets may
be affected by rising tides – can help the
planning team conduct targeted
communication regarding the
importance of a working group. The ART
Study West also has a resource called
“Shoreline and Inundation Mapbook,”
which breaks down sea level rise
predictions for individual cities (see
image). This can also be used as a
resource when engaging cities with the goal of getting them to participate in a working group.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 826
B. SAMPLE COMMUNICATIONS LANGUAGE
There are two primary messaging needs: 1) that rising tides are a prevalent threat and 2) action
is needed that must be initiated through a working group. Below is a sample of some of the
language the ART West Study outlines as the impacts and opportunities for different sectors.
These can serve as a starting point for communicating the impact of rising tides and the
opportunities that a working group can provide. Economic impacts might resonate most with
cities that are more resource-constrained or may not have a prominent focus on sustainability or
climate resilience. Environmental impacts might be useful when reaching out to community based
advocacy organizations, elected officials with a climate justice focus, and other non-governmental
organizations.

IMPACTS OPPORTUNITIES
Industry: “Industrial land uses provides...jobs for
residents, goods and products needed in other parts of
the region, and tax revenue to the cities and the county.
Damage or disruption ... could result in high costs due
to lost productivity, as well as the replacement or repair
of buildings, specialized equipment, and goods stored
onsite. Temporary or permanent closures of industrial
operations of all kinds could have broad economic
impacts throughout the region, particularly if heavy
industrial facilities such as the refineries are damaged or
their connections to goods movement infrastructure is
disrupted.”
Transportation: “Interstates in the project area are
critical to both the flow of goods and the ability of
commuters to access local and regional jobs... In
particular, workers who rely on vulnerable public transit
assets or roads may be unable to get to work, affecting
not only their wages but the economy of the region as a
whole.”13
Industry: “Commercial and industrial facilities
provide jobs, goods, critical services, and
opportunities for economic development and
growth. Commercial businesses are an important part
of community function as community members tend
to shop and access services, including medical and
dental services, near where they live and work. In
addition, community members with limited mobility
and those that rely on public transit typically have
limited options for travelling outside of their
neighborhood to access jobs, necessary services and
critical goods.”15
Goals: “Maintain and improve local economic vitality

IMPACTS OPPORTUNITIES
Hazardous Materials: “The release of persistent and
mobile hazardous materials can have long-lasting and
far-reaching consequences on wildlife and habitats,
and can affect water quality.”18
Marinas: “Marinas create, store, and transport
hazardous materials like fuel and motor oil. If these
facilities are flooded, hazardous materials may be
mobilized and lead to impaired water quality and
environmental habitat degradation.”19
Transportation: “Disruption of local streets and roads
that public transit relies on could cause more
individuals to drive, which could affect air quality. In
addition, the loss of a portion of the transportation
network may increase congestion, potentially
resulting in greater emissions and lower fuel
Open Spaces: “Bay Trail segments provide nature
viewing and environmental education opportunities
that may be lost if the trail is flooded or damaged.
Damage of the trail can also increase erosion and
result in impacts to the natural areas surrounding the
damaged trails segments.”22
Economic: “A solid understanding of the risk that
water management systems face will help lay the

IMPACTS OPPORTUNITIES
Workplace Consequences: “The disruption or closure
of industrial land uses can have significant
consequences for employees as loss of access to the
workplace can cause lost wages. Loss of these facilities
may also have consequences on the people within the
county and the region, as the industrial land uses
within the county produce and provide a number of
critical goods and products used in many other
sectors. Unexpected flooding of facilities that store
hazardous materials can also result in public health
impacts in nearby communities.”26
Building Relationships: “By increasing knowledge
sharing between first responders and community
members, not only will the planning be stronger, but
also relationships between those that may be in need
and those that are responding to those needs will be
improved. For example, inclusion of community
members and leaders in planning can ensure the use
of culturally and ethnically appropriate
communication methods during an emergency.”30

Information: “Social networks strength and
community capacity can be limited if community
members have limited information about the specific
characteristics and/or needs of individuals and
households in their community, and/or surrounding
neighborhoods.”27
Cost to Community: “The broader community of
taxpayers and ratepayers may also bear some of the
expense of rebuilding areas even if they do not
themselves live in affected areas.”28
People: “People are the workers, students, clients,
customers, neighbors, volunteers and members that
make up our cities, communities and region. People
are responsible for creating the social and personal
support networks, the culture and values, and the
local economies that contribute to the resilience of
communities. It is critical, therefore, to understand the
unique needs, challenges and strengths of the people
within each community when evaluating the potential
risks faced from hazards such as flooding, sea level
rise, and storm events.”29
Sustainability: “Effects on communities and services
on which they rely, with specific attention to
disproportionate impacts due to inequalities.”31
Society and Equity: “Goals support communities,
and in particular those with characteristics that could
make them more vulnerable, in accessing affordable,
safe and healthy housing, utilities and services,
recreational opportunities, transportation and transit,
and information about risk. Protect the health, safety
and welfare of all who live, work and recreate in
Contra Costa County.”32
Facilities: “Community facilities that could
potentially serve as gathering locations or places for
emergency information centers include the public
schools, [and] large churches.”33
Questions related to social benefits: Will the action
protect public health and safety? Will the action
protect especially vulnerable community members?
Will the action preserve community function, and/or
advance other community objectives? Will the action
maintain recreational or educational opportunities?

4. IDENTIFY RESOURCES NEEDS AND SECURE BASIC
FUNDING
While the working group is not as resource-intensive as other governance strategies, it still
requires staffing and an operational budget.
A. STAFFING
We recommend hiring one person part-time or intern to coordinate working group activities.
However, these responsibilities might be wrapped into an existing job, depending on where the
working group is housed.
Specific responsibilities include:
● Coordinate time and location of meetings
● Issue meeting invitations and track attendance
● Develop and disseminate agenda items
● Take notes during working group meetings
● Provide follow-up support to action items that result from working group plans
● Apply for grants, depending on the types of activites the working group decides to take
on
B. OPERATIONAL BUDGET
Funding for general operating expenses of the working group may depend on where the initiative
is housed. Costs might include:
● 1 part-time staff member
● Copying and printing
● Reserving rooms
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 831
● Independent facilitator
C. PROJECT-SPECIFIC FUNDING
See the funding section in APPENDIX A for information on project-specific funding sources.
5. SET LAUNCH DATE AND PLAN FIRST MEETING
The Community Visioning Handbook (page 16) discusses important questions and agenda items
for the first planning meeting, such as thinking about the goals of a working group launch. The
agenda items around logistics (pages 18-22) may also be useful in thinking through logistics,
agenda items, facilitators, and recruitment strategies.
The Community Resilience Building Workshop Guide (page 5) recommends two formats for the
initial working group launch:
● One, 6-8 hour meeting
● Two, 4-6 hour meetings held about two weeks apart
The launch meeting should open and close in a large group plenary with all of the attending
stakeholders. However, breakout discussions will allow for more open communication than is
possible within large-group format. Breakout discussions could be sector-specific, regional
specific, or randomly assigned. Because part of the working group goal is to encourage
collaboration between different parts of the county, we recommend randomly assigning breakout
groups.
Other resources that may help with deciding on how to launch and facilitate the working group:
• Section B-F of the Community Resilience Building Workshop Guide: In-depth
recommendations on how to format large-group discussions around climate resilience
that speak to both each stakeholder’s interests and a broader community vision.
• Community Visioning Handbook, page 23-28: Sample agendas, breakout group discussion
questions, and suggestions for framing opening statements.
• Facilitating Large Group Meetings That Get Results Every Time: Guidelines for facilitating
meetings that have a large number and diversity of participants.
• Introduction to Planning and Facilitating Effective Meetings: Contains questions to
consider when creating an agenda, deciding on a facilitator, and tools for facilitating large
group decision-making.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 832
6. DEVELOP A MISSION STATEMENT & OPERATING
PROCEDURES
At the outset, the working group should agree on how it will collaborate with one another, and
what the expected roles and responsibilities look like. The following questions, discussed by either
the planning committee or the working group as a whole, can help set those expectations:
● What time commitment is expected from stakeholder? How often will the working group
meet, and how long are meetings?
● Are other resources, besides time, expected from participants?
● What are the ground rules for discourse and conversation?
● How will agendas items be added and decided upon?
● How will discussions be facilitated? How can input be collected to ensure that all have a
say in activities that move forward?
● How will big decisions be made? When and how might voting play a role?
● Who will be charged with facilitating meetings, ie: moving through agenda items at a
timely pace?
● How will notes and action items be distributed, and to who?
● How will relevant information be communicated, such as through an email listserv?
The working group should work collaboratively to determine its goals and agree on shared values
that will guide its work. After initial brainstorming, the working group could review the goals set
out by the ART Working Group to compare and edit. The process of creating a mission statement
should be collaborative. There are many ways to structure this process, which the below links
cover:
● Our Communities, Our Power p 47: Hosting community forums and then compiling ideas
into a draft that is then available for public comment before finalizing.
● Community Visioning Handbook: Sample agendas and questions for convening large
group discussions and developing a community vision.
● Community-Driven Climate Resilience Framework
● Ten Principles for Building Resilience
7. PLAN MEANINGFUL ACTIONS
We strongly recommend that the working group planning committee and/or the working group
itself review the ART West Adaption Response Sheets for potential projects that the working group
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 833
could take on. However, to start with, the working group should simply undertake information
sharing and reviewing what rising tides mean for the County’s future. Below are suggested agenda
items or projects that the working group could take on at different stages of collaboration.
A. Initial Agenda Items/Areas for Collaboration
Note: it would be useful to have a representative from BCDC be a part of these sessions to help
answer technical questions.
• Learn how to use the Adapting to Rising Tides Explorer and understand what sea level rise
predictions mean. What are the different scenarios that could alter sea level rise
predictions?
• Use ART report to review assets within each stakeholder’s jurisdiction that are prone to
flooding. Focusing on assets that are county-wide, such as transportation, may be good
ways of building initial buy-in.
• Review project-specific maps so that stakeholders understand what areas are most at risk:
o Shoreline and Open Space
o Transportation and Energy
o Business
o Housing and Public Services
o Industry
o People
• Review flood predictions from various studies outside of the ART projects as a way of
showing that various data sources predict similar outcomes, such as:
o FEMA Flood Maps
o NOAA Costal Flood Exposure Mapper
• Share information on what stakeholders are doing around adapting to rising tides and
what their biggest priorities are.
• Share information on what each stakeholder views as the biggest barrier in seeing the
desired work around adapting to rising tides.
• After reviewing areas of vulnerability, discuss which geographic, sectoral, or planning
vulnerabilities are most important to each stakeholder.
B. Public Education Campaigns
Public education is critical to successfully acting on rising tides. Understanding sea level rise
predictions can be difficult, especially because the predictions often range widely. If citizens do
not view adaptation as a priority, then elected representatives will be less likely to spearhead
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 834
action. Furthermore, communities may be able to implement smaller-scale changes at the
household level that mitigate potential damage from flooding. Therefore, the working group
could take on public education campaigns that help communities understand the threats and
opportunities of climate resilience and how they can contribute to adaption work.
One example, drawn from the ART West Adaption Strategies Appendix, is:
• People - FUNC6: Non-English speakers, people with disabilities, such as vision and
hearing impairment, and socially isolated individuals and households may face
communication difficulties in responding to and preparing for flooding
o Develop trainings and educational materials, including CERT, in the languages
that community members speak, including sign language and braille
o Disseminate best available flood and climate risk information, in multiple
languages and formats, through community-based organizations
C. Larger Projects/Initiatives
Note: The below are a sample the actions published in the ART West Adaption Response Sheets. The
title indicates which spreadsheet and section the action was pulled from.
• Water Management (INFO1): Develop new or improve existing watershed-specific
hydraulic models to evaluate the capacity of the stormwater system to store and drain
rainfall runoff as sea levels, groundwater and precipitation patterns change
• Water Management (INFO2): Incentivize or require critical stormwater system
information to be collected and made available in a geo-referenced or GIS format
• Water Management (INFO2): Adopt data management and sharing agreements
among public and private stormwater infrastructure owners and managers to ensure
complete, high quality, and accessible asset information is available for system
vulnerability and risk assessments
• Public Services Responses (GOV): Review and update health care facility emergency
plans to address current and future coastal and riverine flooding including contingencies
and secondary impacts that are broad-scale (e.g., county or Bay Area-wide) and/or
severe (e.g., long-lasting and/or deep inundation)
• Public Services Responses (FUNC1): Evaluate the continued siting of healthcare
facilities in areas at risk from current and future flooding, in particular those areas that
are difficult or expensive to protect, evacuate, or rebuild in a manner ensuring public
health, safety and welfare
• Public Services Responses: Develop Plans and Procedures To…
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 835
o obtain or distribute specialized equipment needed to either shelter-in-place or
evacuate at-risk, less mobile, or medically dependent populations
o address the need for short-term sheltering and long-term housing of mobility
and medically dependent community members
• Transportation (FUNC4): There are very limited alternatives to re-route goods
movement if I-580 was disrupted, especially because this segment in the project area
supports truck traffic to/from the Ports of Oakland and Richmond, and re-routing truck
traffic can be challenging due to road-use restrictions.
o Review and improve understanding of critical partners, timelines, and pathways
for goods movement to/from the Port of Oakland and the Port of Richmond
o Conduct an economic analysis of the consequences of goods not being delivered
to/from the Ports of Oakland and Richmond to inform understanding of the
economic consequences that could occur if I-580 was disrupted
o Develop contingency plans for re-routing goods from I-580, including developing
secondary markets and alternative transportation options
• People - FUNC6: Non-English speakers, people with disabilities, such as vision and
hearing impairment, and socially isolated individuals and households may face
communication difficulties in responding to and preparing for flooding
o Develop and maintain a centralized database of nonprofit, community, and faith-
based organizations, equipment and service providers, and others that can
communicate with communities at risk in the languages they speak
• Contaminated Lands - GOV1: Most Brownfield sites are privately owned, and cleanup
depends in part on being able to locate the responsible party and on these parties
having the necessary funds to undertake the cleanup. Where responsible parties cannot
be found or do not have sufficient funds, the cleanup process may be delayed or public
funds must be used.
o Establish lead agency and develop agreements among institutions that regulate
or manage Brownfield sites to collect, manage, and share the data necessary to
understand Brownfield site vulnerability to sea level rise using consistent
methods
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 836
8. RELEVANCE TO OTHER GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURES
The working group can share information or take on coordinated campaigns. It can also serve as
a planning and visioning team for larger initiatives that require other governance structures listed
in Section A. For example, the larger initiatives described in Section B – 7 may require that
stakeholders outline roles, responsibilities, and resource sharing using a Memorandum of
Understanding. Particularly large initiatives that are broadly supported may be better managed
under a JPA or under an existing agency’s jurisdiction. The working group can serve as a launching
pad and place to plan those other governance structures.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 837
APPENDIX A: FUNDING SOURCES
The below funding sources represent a variety of funding opportunity types. While they are below
divided them by local, state, and federal-level sources, they also vary in aspects such as grants vs.
loans and funding sources vs mechanisms.
1. LOCAL FUNDING MECHANISMS
A. COMMUNITY BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
(Below text from San Mateo County)
“[A] special assessment, sometimes described as a local assessment, is a charge imposed on
particular real property for a local public improvement of direct benefit to that property, as for
example a street improvement, lighting improvement, irrigation improvement, sewer connection,
drainage improvement, or flood control improvement. Pursuant to Proposition 218, formation of
an assessment requires a weighted vote based on the proposed assessment of each parcel of
50+%).
Advantages (San Mateo County): An assessment is tailored to benefits received by each
parcel within an assessment district, and where collected through a county property tax
bill, it is a relatively reliable source of revenue for a public agency.
Disadvantages (San Mateo County): The primary disadvantage of an assessment district
is the cost of the process associated with preparing an assessment and the associated
voting process. An agency must prepare a detailed engineers report in support of an
assessment, and run a ballot proceeding, typically with an informational campaign where
an assessment covers a large area. In addition, assessments must be squared with property
tax rolls annually to ensure that they reflect changes in parcels occurring through each
year, and may be perceived in competition with other financial needs.”34
B. COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT TAX
(Below text from San Mateo County)
34 “San Mateo County – New Agency Proposal: Governance Matrix Technical Memorandum.” Resilient San Mateo. October 2018.
https://resilientsanmateo.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Governance-Matrix-TM_102918_FinalV2.pdf
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 838
“Special taxes in the context of a financing district are imposed through a Community Facilities
District (CFD). A CFD special tax is levied on parcels within the district, similar to a special
assessment; however, there is no need to distinguish special from general benefit. CFDs provide
the most flexible tool for channeling benefits that accrue to private landowners and their tenants
into funding resilient infrastructure (NHA, 2018).
If the CFD has 12 or more registered voters, then two-thirds of voters must authorize the special
tax on a one-person, one-vote basis. An advantage of CFDs compared to special assessment
districts is that parcels can annex into an existing CFD as long as the annexed parcels follow the
same approval requirements.
Advantage: The jurisdiction forming the district has as wide discretion to create the special
tax formula to maximize both revenue and landowner support, so long as the formula
does not mimic an ad valorem approach (percent of assessed value). To fund resilient
infrastructure, the CFD can levy special taxes on the basis of exposure to rising sea levels
and amount of property protected (e.g. building square footage). Furthermore, the special
tax formula can subsidize lower income households or senior citizens. This great flexibility
makes CFDs an attractive compared to special assessment districts, in spite of the higher
approval hurdle (two-thirds versus simple majority) (NHA, 2018).
Disadvantage: CFDs are typically formed by jurisdictions in cooperation with developers
seeking to finance infrastructure to support development of undeveloped property. For
resilient infrastructure this makes CFDs highly applicable to finance and maintain flood
control projects for vacant lands undergoing development (NHA, 2018). This may not be
applicable for wide stretches of San Mateo County coastline.”35
2. COUNTY FUNDING
“[Contra Costa County’s Capital Improvement budget] includes a recommended budget for Minor
Capital Improvements of $1.5 million, which is available for minor improvements and deferred
maintenance when there is no other funding available; $12.55 million for Facilities Lifecycle
Improvements, which reflects the amount allocated to deferred facilities maintenance ($2.55
million) and capital renewal from the County’s Tax Losses Reserve ($10.0 million); and also includes
funding for the Plant Acquisition cost center, an allocation of general purpose revenue in the
amount of $5 million, intended as an on-going resource for construction and repair of County
facilities. The monies are intended for capital projects and/or debt service on the borrowing for
35 Ibid.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 839
the new Administration Building and new Emergency Operations Center (EOC)/Public Safety
building program.
The County is currently in contract for the development of a comprehensive Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). As work is performed on the CIP and the multi-year capital plan is established, the
County will develop a more sophisticated/improved method to implement and monitor the capital
budget.”36
3. STATE FUNDING
A. CALIFORNIA WATER BOARD: STORM WATER GRANT PROGRAM (PROPOSITION
1)
The Storm Water Grant Program can fund development of Storm Water Resource plans and
project-specific planning. The grant can also be applied to multi-benefit storm water projects such
as “green infrastructure, rainwater and stormwater capture projects and stormwater treatment
facilities.”
There is not a regular open window for applications, although the next round will begin in Summer
2019. $90 million total is still available and grants range from $45,837 to $10,000,000.

● Urban and agricultural water use efficiency to reduce demands on the Delta and reduce
runoff of pesticides to the Delta;
● Implementation of non-point source projects under the state’s Section 319 program;
● Implementation of watershed projects;
● Implementation of measures under the San Francisco Estuary Blueprint; and
● Measures to promote water conservation, efficiency, or reuse that can decrease demands
on the Delta.38
Applications are accepted on a continuous basis. The yearly average for the CWSRF program as a
whole is $450 million, and individual projects can rage from under $1 million to over $100 million.
More information on the application process can be found on the State Water Control Board.
San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Bay-Delta) Staff from the State Water
Board and the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay Regional Water Boards coordinate the Water
Boards’ activities in the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Bay-Delta).
The Bay-Delta Team is charged with developing the Water Boards’ short and long-term efforts for
addressing impacts to the beneficial uses of water in the Bay-Delta. In December 2018, the State
Water Board adopted a Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan for the lower San Joaquin River and
Southern Delta. The State Water Board is in the process of developing and implementing updates
to the Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River and tributaries, and the
Central Valley and San Francisco Bay Regional Water Boards continue with their efforts to protect
beneficial uses in the Bay-Delta watershed.
C. COASTAL CONSERVANCY GENERAL GRANTS
The State of California Coastal Conservancy issues grants on a continuing basis for “property
acquisition and project planning, design, and/or construction” that also meet objectives stated in
the Conservancy’s Strategic Plan. On-the-ground projects are preferred over “regional planning,
38 California Clean Water State Revolving Fund, Proposition 1, and Proposition 68 Intended Use Plan 2019-2020
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 841
research, monitoring, and assessments.”39 Sea-level rise vulnerability is a key criteria for funding
and therefore can be of particular benefit for the County.
There are no minimum or maximum grant amounts and applications are accepted on a continuous
basis.
● Application requirements
● Selection criteria and Program Guidelines
● Strategic Plan
D. COASTAL CONSERVANCY: PROPOSITION 1 GRANTS
The State of California Coastal Conservancy receives funds from Proposition 1 and issues grants
three times a year. The grants are for “multi-benefit ecosystem and watershed protection and
restoration projects.”40 They also specifically provide local assistance under the Delta levee
maintenance subventions program, special flood protection projects, levee improvement projects
that increase the resiliency of levees within the Delta to withstand earthquake, flooding, or sea
level rise, and emergency response and repair projects. Furthermore, current priority programs
are “water sustainability improvements, anadromous fish habitat enhancement, wetland
restoration and urban greening.”41
Applications open three times a year. There is no maximum or minimum funding requirement, and
previously awarded grants range from $33,645 to $2,000,00.
The County has previously used Proposition 1 grants to fund the Horse Valley Creek and Wetland
Restoration. The County could take advantage of the water sustainability and wetland restoration
priority areas to fund projects along the shoreline.

E. CALIFORNIA COASTAL CONSERVANCY: PROPOSITION 68
Proposition 68 provides funding for “creating parks, enhancing river parkways, and protecting
coastal forests and wetlands, as well as “funding for outdoor access, lower cost coastal
accommodations and climate adaptation.”
Funding is divided into regional and general categories. The categories most relevant to the
County include:
● San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority projects ($20 million)
● Lower Cost Coastal Accommodations ($30 million)
● All Coastal Conservancy Purposes ($85 million)
● Coastal Forest Watersheds ($20 million)
● Acquisition of parcels to protect and restore habitat associated with estuarine lagoons and
designated wildlife areas ($5 million)
● San Francisco Bay Area Conservancy – Climate Adaptation ($14 million)
Furthermore, 15-20% of the funding in each category must go towards severely disadvantaged
communities, defined as communities where the median household income is less than 60% of
the state average. Oakley, Antioch, Pittsburg, Martinez, Richmond, and San Pablo have shoreline
communities that are categorized as severely disadvantaged.
Pre-proposals are accepted on an ongoing basis. There is no specified minimum or maximum grant
amount.
● Program Guidelines and criteria for selection
● Map and search tool of severely disadvantaged communities
F. COASTAL CONSERVANCY: EXPLORE THE COAST GRANT
The State of California Coastal Conservancy issues Explore the Coast Grants for a “wide range of
programs that bring people to the coast.” While many of its programs are aimed at helping
underserved communities visit and learn about California’s coast, the program also funds
programs around stewardship of coastal resources, public education programs, or coastal-related
programs that focus on low-income communities and schools.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 843
The maximum grant award is $50,000 and applications are open once a year, with applications
usually due around April.
The County might be able to use this grant to fund education campaigns around the impact of
rising tides, especially within low-income communities. It could also be used as a way to bring
citizens from central Costa County to parks on the shoreline as part of an education initiative
around the impact of coastal lands.
● Application Process Overview
● Previously funded projects
G. CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION: WHALE TAIL GRANTS
The California Coastal Commission issues Whale Tail grants annually to “teach California's children
and the general public to value and take action to improve the health of the state's marine and
coastal resources.”
In particular, grants can be directed towards:
● shoreline cleanup and enhancement programs (such as Adopt-A-Beach);
● youth education programs;
● programs for educating the general public
Grants are also directed towards two specific subcategories of programs:
● projects addressing climate change as it relates to the ocean or coastline; and
● grants for organizations with annual operating budgets of $500,000 or less, that are
working with underserved communities
The Whale Tale grant is focused on coastal projects, and specifies that “...if a project will take place
in an inland area or on a bay, the proposal should address how the project includes coastal and
marine educational content, including a description of how the connections between bays or
inland areas and the coast and ocean will be emphasized.”
Whale Tail Grants are issued once a year with maximum awards of $50,000, although 25-50% will
be grants under $12,000. Applications typically open around Labor Day.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 844
The County might be able to use the grant to fund education campaigns around the impact of
rising tides, especially if the proposal speaks specifically to the sub-category of addressing climate
change.

4. FEDERAL FUNDING
The below descriptions are drawn from the federal agency websites. 42 Grants.gov also has a list
of the most updated grant and loan opportunities available from the federal government.
A. FEMA: THE HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM
“FMA is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (NFIA), with the goal
of reducing or eliminating claims under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FMA
funding is available through the National Flood Insurance Fund (NFIF) for flood hazard mitigation
projects as well as plan development and is appropriated by Congress.
States, territories, and federally-recognized tribes are eligible to apply for FMA funds. Local
governments are considered sub-applicants and must apply to their Applicant State, territory, or
federally-recognized tribe.”43
B. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) ACQUISITION OF FLOODPLAIN EASEMENTS
AND GRANTS FOR FLOOD RISK REDUCTION PROJECTS
“The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) provides financial and technical assistance
to agricultural producers to address natural resource concerns and deliver environmental benefits
such as improved water and air quality, conserved ground and surface water, reduced soil erosion
and sedimentation, and improved or created wildlife habitat.

This voluntary conservation programs helps producers make conservation work for them.
Together, NRCS and producers invest in solutions that conserve natural resources for the future
while also improving agricultural operations.
Through EQIP, NRCS provides agricultural producers with financial resources and one-on-one
help to plan and implement improvements, or what NRCS calls conservation practices. Using these
practices can lead to cleaner water and air, healthier soil and better wildlife habitat, all while
improving agricultural operations. Through EQIP, you can voluntarily implement conservation
practices, and NRCS co-invests in these practices with you.”44
C. THE NATIONAL COASTAL WETLANDS CONSERVATION GRANT PROGRAM (United States Fish
and Wildlife Financial Assistance)
“Annually provides grants of up to $1 million to coastal and Great Lakes states, as well as U.S.
territories to protect, restore and enhance coastal wetland ecosystems and associated uplands.
The grants are funded through the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, which is
supported by excise taxes on fishing equipment and motorboat fuel”.45

for the period from September 24, 2019 through September 23, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a non-financial Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Health Services Department and Vizient, Inc. have agreed to share data to improve
CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers’ clinical, operational and patient safety performance. The
purpose of this Agreement is to allow Vizient, Inc, to deliver Contra Costa County data to University

to Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services (CMS) as required by law.
On September 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Data Sharing Agreement #26-919-2 with
Vizient, Inc to perform financial and clinical data sharing at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for
the period from September 24, 2018 through September 23, 2019.
Approval of Data Sharing Agreement #26-919-3, will allow the parties to continue to perform financial and
clinical data sharing through September 23, 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not approved, the County will not have access to shared data to improve CCRMC and
Contra Costa Health Centers’ clinical, operational and patient safety performance.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or designee to execute a contract, subject to
approval as to form by County Counsel, with Hensel Phelps Services, LLC, in an amount not to exceed
$500,000 for maintenance and training for mechanical and electrical systems at the new Administration
Building and new Public Safety/Emergency Operations Center for the two year extended warranty period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The expected cost of the plan will be $240,000 in FY 20-21 and $260,000 in FY 21-22. (100% General
Fund)
BACKGROUND:
The new buildings -- the County Administration Building and the Emergency Operations Center -- both
have an extended warranty period of two years for the major mechanical and electrical items that the
builder Hensel Phelps is installing. Many of these systems, currently 243 mechanical and 281 electrical
assets between the two projects, are new to the County inventory and staff are, therefore, not familiar with
these systems. This plan will allow for a training period for staff to learn and get hands-on experience with
these new systems. Hensel Phelps service staff will guide our facilities staff through two full cycles of
preventative maintenance and service checks on the systems while also creating both written and video
manuals of each type of service for each individual piece of equipment.

Subject:Contract for Two-Year Extended Maintenance and Training with Hensel Phelps Services for Admin and EOC
Buildings
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 871
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In addition, the plan will serve as an additional measure to insure warranty claims are processed. Because
Hensel Phelps will be responsible for training, observing, and documenting staff in the performance of the
preventative maintenance checks and services, there will be no argument in the case of a system failure that
the cause was lack of proper maintenance. At the end of the plan period, County staff will be better trained
and have better written and visual resources to continue the servicing of both these new buildings.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving this action will place an increased burden on County staff to learn the proper procedures for
maintenance of over 500 new systems in the shorter hand-over period of three months and deprive staff of
the opportunity to get hands-on training and upgraded written and visual manuals for maintenance of these
systems.

contract term and the contract payment limit was exceeded.
As requested by the County, SJBH, LLC (dba San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital) provided additional
inpatient psychiatric treatment services in good faith. The Health Services Department has therefore
determined that SJBH, LLC (dba San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital) is entitled to payment for the
reasonable value of their services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. That theory
provides that where a person has been asked to provide services without a valid contract, and the
provider does so to the benefit of the recipient, the provider is entitled to recover reasonable value of
those services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contractor will not be paid for psychiatric treatment services rendered in good faith.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcome: “Communities that are
Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes
include a decrease in the need for inpatient care and placement at a lower level of care.

BACKGROUND:
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) the Workforce Development Board of
Contra Costa County is tasked with modifying the existing four-year plan into a five-year plan, to provide
an overview of the local workforce system and describe the strategies that will be used to achieve specific
goals, including fostering strategic alignment, improving service integration among workforce partners, and
insuring the workforce system is industry relevant. The East Bay Regional Plan was developed in unity with
other areas in the East Bay region, including the City of Richmond, Alameda County, and the City of
Oakland; and conjointly with the Local Plan will serve as the strategic roadmap for the implementation of
WIOA. Strategic priorities identified

in the five-year strategies align with the State's primary objective: "fostering demand driven skills
alignment; enabling upward mobility for all Californians; and, aligning, coordinating, and integrating
programs and services to economize limited resources to achieve scale and impact".
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.
A Chief Elected Official signature is required for local plans, but not for regional plans. However, CEOs
are still required to approve final regional plans.
On February 5, 2019, the Contra Costa County Workforce Development Board approved the 2017-2021
Local Plan modifications and on May 7, 2019, the Board approved the 2017-2021 Regional Plan.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without submission of the Regional and Local Plans, the Workforce Development Board of Contra
Costa County would be out of compliance with Innovation and Opportunity Act requirements.

Overview
In accordance with policies and requirements established by the California Workforce
Development Board (CWDB), as specified in Workforce Services Directive 18-01, this
document provides two-year modifications to the East Bay Regional Planning Unit
(EBRPU) 2017-2021 Regional Plan. The EBRPU consists of the Workforce Development
Boards of Alameda County and the City of Oakland and Contra Costa County and the
City of Richmond. These modifications build on EBRPU’s initial regional plan released in
2016 and address the following required areas: (1) Corrections Workforce Partnership
(California Workforce Development Board, California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, California Prison Industry Authority and the California Workforce
Association) and the Prison to Employment Initiative (P2E); (2) compliance with state
requirements regarding Multi-craft Core Curriculum pre-apprenticeship partnerships and;
(3) Regional Indicators of Coordination and Alignment, self-assessment.
Stakeholder and Community Engagement
East Bay Regional Planning Unit (EBRPU) partner boards organized regionally and sub-
regionally to achieve broad and robust stakeholder and community engagement and
collect input to guide the development of this regional plan update. Invitations to attend
numerous regional public input sessions, hosted and coordinated by each local workforce
board, were distributed to thousands of stakeholders, partners and community members
including local service providers and local public agencies serving justice involved
individuals and other priority populations, WIOA-mandated partners, regional community
colleges, regional adult education, Probation, California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation’s local Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPO) and many East Bay
employers. EBRPU partner workforce boards also leveraged Alameda and Contra Costa
County Community Corrections Partnerships’ stakeholder lists. Invitations were also sent
to the State Board provided Directory of Planning Partners and the entities on the State
Board’s Interactive Corrections Map. Informational flyers, translated into multiple
languages were included in all outreach and were also posted electronically on EBRPU
partner workforce boards’ and EASTBAYWorks websites and social media platforms.
Regional public input sessions were posted publicly and noticed electronically to the State
Board and locally through local workforce board career services networks. In each sub-
region, in collaboration with the EBRPU’s Regional Organizer, partner boards
coordinated, and co-hosted joint public input sessions to gather data to inform local and
regional plans. Sub-regional convenings were designed to align with EBRPU’s new
corrections partners’ geographic organization. Informational flyers, translated into

multiple languages were included in all outreach and were also posted electronically on

Alameda County and Oakland Workforce Development Boards co-hosted public input
sessions on October 26, 2018, October 29, 2018, November 1, 2018 and, November 5,
2018. An afterhours listening session was conducted February 27, 2019.
Contra Costa County and Richmond Workforce Development Boards co-hosted public
input sessions November 15, 2018, November, 28, 2015, November 29, 2018 and
December 4, 2018. The November 29, 2018 session was conducted afterhours.
Smaller stakeholder sessions were conducted with Community Corrections Partnerships
coordinators, Probation, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s
Division of Adult Parole Operations and other local public entities serving justice involved
individuals.
EBRPU conducted interviews with justice involved individuals and second chance
(reentry-friendly) employers to gather data directly from target customers. EBRPU
engaged the region’s dense network of subject matter experts including advocates, legal
services, housing services, behavioral health providers and others. Lastly, EBRPU
generated a regional landscape inventory of publicly funded organizations providing
services to justice-impacted individuals.

Assessment of Need and Population Size
Across the four local workforce development areas that comprise the East Bay Regional
Planning Unit (EBRPU), the supervised population as of 2017 is estimated to be around
15,600 individuals, with over two-thirds (68%) residing in Alameda County and about a
third (32%) residing in Contra Costa County.1 Of the supervised population, about 85%
are on adult probation through the County2 and 15% are on adult parole through the
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR)3. Across the region, a

disproportionate share of the justice-involved population—African Americans represent
about 40% of the region’s probation population, followed by Latinos at about 23%4—and
also experience higher rates of unemployment, poverty, and homelessness. While the
total number of people in the region with justice involvement is not readily known, by some
estimates that number is as high as one out of three adults.5
In 2017-18, EBRPU enrolled a total of 3,108 individuals into WIOA-funded staff-assisted
services. Of those, approximately 250 (8%) self-reported an offender status at program
enrollment.6 It is very likely that these numbers are not reflective of the full number current
or former offenders served in the region, as individuals are not obligated to disclose
offender status and may perceive disincentives to share this information when initiating
workforce development services.
In general, the sense among many workforce and justice stakeholders is that current
programs do not provide the level of supports and resources that the supervised
population needs to encourage enrollment and completion of training and successful
placement and retention in the workplace. For this population, workforce programs
present a dilemma; most training and job readiness programs require an unpaid
investment of time during which an individual could otherwise be earning money. At the
same time, justice-involved individuals face fundamental barriers to employment that are
often not addressed through workforce development programming, including lack of
access to housing or transportation, difficulties in document recovery, and behavioral
health needs. Within the region’s network of publicly-funded, community-based providers,
there are 135 organizations serving the supervised population, 48 of which are providing
some level of workforce-related services. However, only a handful provide a continuum
of workforce services paired with other support services, and few provide earn and learn
or on-the-job training opportunities. Addressing this gap using Prison to Employment
(P2E) funds will offer justice-involved individuals greater incentives to participate in
workforce programs, and a path with fewer barriers and challenges to a sustainable
career.

Based on these data and a variety of qualitative data collection, the EBRPU has identified
(1) paid training and work experience; (2) wrap-around and supportive services; and (3)
increased coordination among Parole and Probation, community-based organizations
(CBOs), reentry employers, and WDB partners as significant regional gaps in reentry
workforce development and thus priorities for P2E investment. Each WDB will approach
these priorities according to local infrastructure and needs, while also coordinating across
the region to share knowledge, collect data and leverage resources
Proposed Service Strategies
The East Bay Reginal Planning Unit (EBRPU) recognizes that partnership with entities
who are experts in addressing the unique needs of justice-involved individuals is crucial
to Prison to Employment (P2E) success, as is ongoing training, knowledge sharing, and
networking. To this end, each EBRPU partner workforce board will mobilize existing
service providers with said expertise and where services will be procured, conduct
procurement processes that comply with local and state procurement standards for
employment and training services for justice-involved individuals.
EBPRU determined that it could best optimize limited P2E resources for the region’s
justice-involved population by utilizing them to (1) cultivate increased coordination and
collaboration amongst partners throughout the region and (2) address gaps and scale
promising existing services within the region’s reentry workforce development landscape,
specifically by increasing the availability of wrap-around and supportive services and
furnishing more opportunities for paid training and paid work experience. Data reveals
low employment retention rates for justice-involved individuals due to numerous potential
causes, such as lack of job readiness or poor matching, poor job quality, lack of post-
placement supportive services, lack of post-placement career planning, as well as internal
client factors. EBRPU workforce board partners will utilize P2E resources to support
strategies noted above that offer potential remedies
Through the P2E initiative, EBRPU plans to increase local workforce board staff capacity
to coordinate existing P2E partners, including with Probation and Community Correction
Partnerships, launch a new regional partnership with California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation Division of Adult Parole Operations and, cultivate more
expansive reentry employer networks that are currently supported by a variety of grants
and other funding from federal, state, local, and philanthropic sources. The addition of
funding from P2E will help to infuse crucial and timely support that will effectively integrate
these efforts into a more coordinated and seamless local and regional service-delivery
system that meets the needs of justice-involved populations.

Regional Sector Partnerships and Employer Roles
Each of the East Bay Region WDBs intends to commit WDB business services staff
resources to building employer partnerships and creating a strong infrastructure of
support and information-sharing among those employers and other P2E partners. In
addition to developing new partnerships, P2E presents an opportunity to enhance existing
employer partnerships through the introduction of paid work experience, subsidized
employment, and employer training on best practices for working with justice-involved
individuals. While there are many opportunities for entry-level employment for this
population, the EBRPU has identified a gap in transitioning justice-involved individuals
from those entry-level positions to employment opportunities with family-sustaining
wages and career path potential. EBRPU will work to identify within current industry
partners who is best-suited to work with justice-involved individuals, particularly in
providing these next-step opportunities.
The EBRPU will (1) leverage the existing reentry workforce development efforts of its
regional industry sector partnerships AMBayArea (Association of Manufacturers, Bay
Area – www.ambayarea.com) and the East Bay Health Workforce Partnership
(www.ebhwp.org); (2) work with regional economic development partners to explore
opportunities for partnership with their member businesses; and (3) leverage the local
WDBs’ strong networks of industry employers to support opportunities for work-based
learning, training, and successful employment outcomes. Through regular information
sharing, EBRPU will also look for opportunities to expand local employer partnerships
across the region and prioritize reentry-friendly industries such as the construction trades,
manufacturing, hospitality, and the food preparation industry for targeted cultivation.
Additional Planning Partners: Corrections Workforce Partnership
All EBRPU partner workforce development boards have existing partnerships with their
respective county Community Corrections Partnerships. Partnerships have included
EBRPU partner workforce development boards receiving funds directly to provide and
coordinate workforce services for AB109-eligible, justice-impacted individuals; EBRPU
partner workforce development board staff participation in Community Corrections
Partnerships’ Executive Committee and Program and Services Committee meetings; and
EBRPU partner workforce development board Executive Directors co-chairing a County
Re-Entry Strategic Plan with their respective Community Corrections Partnership’s
Reentry Coordinator.

The Prison to Employment Initiative provides additional opportunities for the EBRPU
partner workforce development boards and their respective Community Corrections
Partnerships’ to collaborate, share information and best practices, co-design service
strategies, and improve workforce outcomes for justice involved individuals.
Some EBRPU partner workforce development boards have existing partnerships with
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Division of Adult Parole
Operations (CDCR/DAPO). This includes regular participation in monthly Parole and
Community Team (PACT) orientation meeting for individuals newly released from prison.
It also includes one comprehensive AJCC hosting monthly PACT meetings. These
partnerships will continue with increased staffing, warm hand-offs and referral
mechanisms. A new regional partnership between EBRPU partner workforce
development boards and CDCR/DAPO will facilitate greater collaboration designed to link
education, job training and work experience in-prison to post-release jobs by fostering a
system of coordinated service delivery to this population that faces a variety of barriers to
employment.
There are no state prisons of CALPIA programs located in the EBRPU.
Data Collection
Participants served under the Prison to Employment initiative will be entered into CalJobs
for data collection and tracking. Data sharing across systems was identified as a current
gap in the region EBRPU partner workforce boards will seek to remedy in collaboration
with partnering agencies.
Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3) Pre-Apprenticeship Partnerships
The State of California provided guidance to local workforce boards governing the use of
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds for pre-apprenticeship training
through Workforce Services Draft Directive-178 (WSDD-178), “Quality Apprenticeship
and Pre-Apprenticeship Opportunity,” March 2018. The directive requires WIOA funds
awarded locally for pre-apprenticeship training in the building and construction trades
implement the Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3).
Further, per California Unemployment Insurance Code Section 14230(e), WIOA-funded
apprenticeships and preapprenticeship training must, “to the maximum extent feasible,”
align with and follow MC3, and work to increase representation of women in pre-
apprenticeship training.
As required under WSDD-178, prior to expending WIOA funds on apprenticeship and pre-
apprenticeship programs East Bay Regional Planning Unit Workforce Development

Boards will ensure: (a) WIOA funded programs are operated in coordination with at least
one regionally-based Department of Industrial Relations-Department of Apprenticeship
Standards-approved apprentice program; (b) WIOA funded pre-apprenticeship training in
the building and construction trades utilizes the MC3 curriculum; and (3) Pre-
apprenticeship program operators funded with WIOA have a plan detailing, in writing, how
they will conduct outreach to and ensure the retention of women in the pre-apprenticeship
program.
The Alameda County Workforce Development Board (ACWDB) partners with the
Alameda County Building and Construction Trades Council (ACBTC) when planning
efforts to develop or scale pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs. ACBTC is a
coalition of 28 affiliated unions representing workers in various construction trades.
ACWDB is currently working with ACBTC’s affiliated member unions to determine
establishment of referral systems for prospective participants seeking opportunities in the
trades. ACWDB also coordinates training vetted by ACBTC, with local pre-apprenticeship
providers including: Cypress Mandela, Rising Sun for Opportunity, and Tradeswomen
Inc.
ACWDB is in the process of partnering with the Construction Trades Workforce Initiative
(CTWI) to develop a talent pipeline into the construction trades, by leveraging Multi-Craft
Core Curriculum (MC3). The project aims to target justice-involved individuals within the
East Bay Regional Planning Unit for construction pre-apprenticeship programs. CTWI is
the non-profit arm of ACBTC and has expertise and relationships with ACBTC’s affiliated
unions.
ACWDB will continue to develop working relationships with ACBTC and its affiliated
partners, including CTWI to ensure pre-apprenticeship programs align with MC3 and
opportunities in the trades are available for women and other underrepresented groups.
Similarly, ACWDB will ensure training partners reflecting the broader workforce system
are also approved, including community colleges, adult schools, and other state approved
apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
The Oakland Workforce Development Board (OWDB) ensures coordination and
partnership with ACBTC through its participation in the East Bay Trades Apprenticeship
Program. In response to the requirements of AB 554, and following legislation, a
workgroup of representatives from the local Bay Area Apprenticeship Coordinators
Association (BAACA), ACBTC, ACWDB, OWDB, Berkeley Adult School, Hayward Adult
School, San Leandro Adult School, Tradeswomen, Inc., Rising Sun Energy Center,
Cypress Mandela Training Center and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, have
determined that a formal agreement would be created to delineate relationships,
processes, and roles and responsibilities; to define integration between local joint

apprenticeship programs, adult schools and community colleges; and for the workforce
development boards to align Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and other
resources with an East Bay trades apprenticeship pathway. Students, job seekers, and
employers in the area will be best served by the creation of a trades introduction program
based on MC3, administered with the permission of the local Building and Construction
Trades Council, under the recognition of the BAACA and the multiple joint apprenticeship
programs with jurisdiction in the East Bay region and in cooperation with the region’s
Workforce Development Boards, adult education schools, community colleges and
community–based organizations serving East Bay communities and residents.
The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) requires any
WIOA funded pre-apprenticeship training programs to implement MC3. WDBCCC
supports and is on the advisory boards of Future Build and Diablo Valley College Pre-
Apprenticeship programs, both of which utilize MC3.
WDBCCC is strengthening partnerships with the Contra Costa County Building Trades
Council (CCCBTC), particularly relating to MC3. WDBCCC plans to participate in regular
meetings with CCCBTC to improve communication and coordination and to identify and
scale best practices in coordinating MC3 and workforce services with other core
workforce partners.
The Richmond Workforce Development Board oversees the RichmondBUILD pre-
apprenticeship constructions skills training and is a provider of the MC3 curriculum in
partnership with CCCBTC. RichmondBUILD operated successful multiple Prop 39 grants
and a Pipeline for Ex-Offenders grant utilizing MC3 as the core training component.
CCCBTC affiliated members play a key role in helping to design and update the training
curriculum, provide guests speakers to cover Labor history and to provide an in-depth
understanding of each craft. They also host site visits to union halls and training facilities.

A. CalFresh Population Overview and Needs Assessment
1. Size and Characteristics of CalFresh Population
Provide an overview of the size and characteristics of both the total CalFresh recipient populations in the
local/area region and the CalFresh E&T participant populations, if CalFresh E&T is available in the local
area/region (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, age, Limited English Proficient (LEP), foreign born, formerly
incarcerated, etc.).*
As of November 30, 2018, there were 24,228 individual CalFresh participants in Contra Costa
County, equal to approximately 2.0% of the total population of the county. The participant
population is 35% male and 65% female. Of adult CalFresh recipients, 76% are between the
ages of 19 and 49, and 24% are from age 49 to 64. Of the adult CalFresh population, slightly
more than 1% have limited English proficiency, and 1.9% are not citizens of the United States.1
An important CalFresh target population for employment and training supports are those
identified as ABAWDs (Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents), who became subject to work
requirements during the welfare reform process in the 1980s.2 Since the great recession in
2008, ABAWDS In Contra Costa County have had a waiver of work requirements due to higher
than average unemployment rates in the county. However, in September 2019, the federal
waiver of work requirement for ABAWDs will expire for Contra Costa County. The County
Employment and Human Services Policy and Planning Division estimates that between 3,900 to
4,600 individuals classified as ABAWDs will be at risk of losing their CalFresh benefits unless
they can begin meeting the requirement that they be enrolled in an employment and training
program or employed for at least 80 hours per month.3 The ABAWD population includes 61%
male and 39% female. According to County data, 33% of this group is Black/African American,
29% are white, 14% are Hispanic or Latino, 4% are Asian, 2% are multiracial, 4% are “Other”
and 14% are identified as “Unknown.” The age distribution of the population includes: 20 and
younger: 8%, 21 to 30: 38%, 31 to 40: 28%, and 41 to 50: 25%. Data show that 98% of the
ABAWD population in Contra Costa County is proficient in English, and that 2% are Spanish
speakers, with fewer than 1% who have another primary language. In the category of
citizenship, just 3% of those classified as ABAWDs are non-citizens.
CalFresh E&T has been available to residents of Contra Costa County for a number of years,
although it has included a relatively small number of participants, in part due to the voluntary
nature of the program. The small scale is also due to the lack of capacity among local providers
to support the necessary administrative overhead and also provide eligible 50% matching funds
in order to receive reimbursement. In Federal Fiscal Year 2017 there were a total of 88
CalFresh E&T participants in Contra Costa County, of whom 30% were female and 70% were
male. Within that group, 45% were Black/African American, 30% were White, 10% were
multiracial, 8% identified as “Other”, 3% Asian, and 2% American Indian or Alaska Native. In
addition, 18% of the group identified as Hispanic or Latino. The age range of participants was as
follows: 18 to 35: 48%, 36 to 49: 41%, 50 to 59: 9%, and 60 or older: 2%. Among current

participants in CalFresh E&T programs in Contra Costa County, 100% are English proficient.4
2. Workforce Services Needed
Assess the types of workforce services needed to help people receiving CalFresh succeed in the regional
and local labor market, including those services that are eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from
CalFresh E&T (e.g. ESL classes, work experience, apprenticeship).*
CalFresh recipients in Contra Costa County who are able to work have multiple challenges to
success in the regional and local labor market. Many have a limited work history, lack a high
school diploma or GED, lack stable housing, and have physical or mental health challenges.
These characteristics of the CalFresh population have particular implications for the types of
workforce services that are most beneficial. While optimal outcomes can be obtained by
participating in sector-based training, many CalFresh participants need a more basic level of
workforce and other supportive services that can include remedial education, basic/essential
skills training, and social emotional skills required to navigate the workplace.
A history with the criminal justice system and limited English proficiency represent other
challenges common to the CalFresh population. Based upon their differing circumstances,
Calfresh recipients have the need for a range of workforce services. Each individual is unique,
and it is critical that services be tailored specifically to meet individual needs.
For individuals who lack previous experience in the workplace, training in basic or essential
skills is critical to helping them function effectively in the workplace. These skills include
effective communication with customers, fellow employees, and supervisors.
Those with educational limitations may require support in obtaining a GED or high school
diploma, or may need more basic literacy instruction. Adult Education programs associated with
local school districts in the county offer support in obtaining a GED or high school diploma, and
other community based organizations can provide literacy support. Limited English proficiency
CalFresh recipients can also be served by Adult Education and these community based
partners.
As the WDBCCC expands the array of workforce services accessible to CalFresh recipients, it
will be guided by the following best practices identified in a recent report by the USDA Food and
Nutrition Service, Office of Policy Support:
● Services are based on an individualized assessment of the workforce-related strengths
and weaknesses of SNAP clients;
● Services comprehensively address an individual’s need for skills training, basic skills
education, and overcoming barriers to employment;
● Services help participants earn credentials valued by employers in their chosen industry
or sector; and
● Services help develop skills that are closely linked to labor market demands in the local
area.5

with overcoming these barriers, including those resources eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from
CalFresh E&T (e.g. job readiness, child care, criminal history).*
While the majority of those who receive SNAP/CalFresh benefits have a strong commitment to
participating in the workforce, there are significant barriers that prevent them from doing so.
These barriers were identified by both participants in public forums throughout the county, as
well as in a recent national study on SNAP recipients. Perhaps the most important barrier is a
lack of recent work experience. In a recent study, more than two-thirds (68 percent) of non-
employed SNAP recipients had not worked in the past 18 months.6 The longer an individual
remains outside the workforce, the more difficult it becomes to reenter.
Physical and mental health conditions were identified by public meeting participants as another
major impediment to successful employment. A substantial portion of people on SNAP/CalFresh
have a physical, mental, or other health condition that limits their capacity for work. National
data show this number to be close to half of all participants.7
Limited education is another barrier experienced by a significant number of CalFresh recipients
in Contra Costa County. More than 30 percent of SNAP recipients lack a high school diploma,
and 9 percent have not completed the eighth grade.8 In an era where job requirements for
education and training continue to grow, this represents a major hindrance to successfully
entering the job market.
Taking care of children or other individuals was mentioned multiple times as a barrier to
employment in the public forums and in the national study. Nearly one quarter of SNAP
participants nationally had at least one child younger than 3-years-old.9 The cost of childcare
can easily account for a majority of the earnings for someone in an entry-level job or less than
full time employment.
Limited access to transportation is frequently identified by CalFresh recipients as a barrier, with
public transportation unavailable or requiring an inordinate amount of time to get to training or
the workplace. This barrier is particularly acute for individuals living in the eastern portion of the
county.
A range of resources eligible for CalFresh E&T 50% reimbursement are available through the
existing CalFresh E&T program in Contra Costa County. These include:
• Case management, including goal setting
• Participant assessments
• Pre-employment job readiness training
• Career skills training, including job search, communication skills, career advancement
• Resume and application preparation support
• Interview preparation
• Placement assistance including referrals to sector based employment
• College orientation and success planning

• Finanical education and financial coaching
• Vocational training for administrative careers (Opportunity Junction)
Participant reimbursements for the following costs related to CalFresh E&T are also available:
• Dependent care to enable participation in CalFresh E&T activities
• Transportation to training or work
• Clothing and tools required for training, interviews or work
• Emergency housing assistance and one-time utility payments
• Legal services related to housing, employment and expungement
• Medical expenses as required for employment
• Test and registration fees such as GED
4. Current and Prospective Local Partnerships
Explain current and prospective local partnerships, including partnerships with local workforce
development boards, local Human Service Agencies, and other CalFresh E&T providers, including those
that are eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from CalFresh E&T (e.g. community colleges, community-
based organizations, and other third-party providers). Describe the quality and level of intensity of
services provided by these partners.*
The WDBCCC recently participated as a member of the Core Planning Team for a process in
Contra Costa County designed to prepare for the expiration of the ABAWD work requirement
waiver in the county. As a result, the WDBCCC has been able to become better informed about
CalFresh and CalFresh E&T. It has also forged stronger relationships with key partners
providing workforce services for those participating in CalFresh, including the following:
● Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services-Workforce Services
department, which provides assessments for CalFresh eligibility and maintains data on
CalFresh participants in the County.
● Rubicon Programs, which serves as one of the two CalFresh E&T providers in the
county, using AB109 matching funds to focus services on individuals experiencing
reentry. Rubicon served a total of 74 CalFresh E&T participants in 2017.
● Opportunity Junction, an east county CalFresh E&T provider. Opportunity Junction
provided CalFresh E&T services to 14 participants in 2017.; and
● The California Community College Foundation, which serves as an intermediary for
CalFresh E&T providers in Contra Costa County.
The WDBCCC will build upon these strengthened relationships to better provide WIOA services
to CalFresh participants.
The WDBCCC is currently engaged in the next stage of the process of planning for the
expiration of the ABAWD work requirement waiver, participating in two multi-stakeholder
workgroups involved in planning and implementation. The first group is focused on the
expansion of CalFresh E&T provider capacity in Contra Costa County, will be planning outreach
to potential CalFresh E&T providers, assessing their capacity to serve in this role, and providing
support as needed. The second workgroup and providing outreach and assessments to
CalFresh recipients to determine who may be eligible for exemptions.
5. Information Sharing to Evaluate Need
Describe the ways in which program partners will facilitate information sharing to evaluate need.*
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 895
Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County
PY 17-21 Local Plan Modifications--Informational Attachments
5 of 13
The WDBCCC will continue to expand its collaboration and information sharing with staff in
Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services-Workforce Services who are
responsible for the CalFresh program. Participation in the CalFresh E&T workgroup will also
help the WDBCCC to keep fully updated on the development of new workforce services for the
CalFresh population. As a result, the WDBCCC will better understand the workforce services
needs of the CalFresh population, and can plan for delivery of Concord AJCC/One Stop
services to meet those needs.
The WDBCCC will share information with the backbone organization for CalFresh E&T in
Contra Costa County, the California Community College Foundation, regarding its planned
expansion of CalFresh E&T capacity in the county. This will enable the WDBCCC to determine
how it can best provide support to CalFresh E&T participants through WIOA-funded services.
Because demand for CalFresh E&T services in Contra Costa County will increase significantly
following the expiration of the ABAWD waiver in September of 2019, this will be a particularly
important time to strengthen information sharing regarding needed services.
B. Assessment of Need and Population Size for Non-Custodial
Parents
1. Child Support Program Population Overview
Provide an overview of the size of the Child Support Program population in your local area including the
following:
● An assessment of areas of high concentration.
● The percentage of noncustodial parents who are unemployed.
● The percentage of noncustodial parents who are ex-offenders.
● To the extent feasible, demographic information including race, ethnicity, gender, etc.*
There are 25,274 open cases with non-custodial parents (NPs) in Contra Costa County; 9,500
of those individuals have a physical address in the county. Of those local individuals, 3,707
(39%) have no active employment record10 and 1,936 of these individuals (20.4%) have a
current or past record of incarceration.
With regard to sex, 89.8% of NPs are male while 9.86% of NPs are female, and 0.34% are
unknown. In addition, 26.99% of NPs are African-American, 29.73% are Hispanic, 22.64% are
white, 14.84% are unknown, fewer than 5% are Asian or Pacific-Islander, and 0.2% are Native
American or Alaskan Native.
The table below shows the areas of the county with the highest concentrations of NPs. These
areas are largely concentrated in the eastern and western portions of the county.

2. Services Needed
Provide an assessment of the types of services needed for each targeted group challenged with meeting
their parental responsibilities.*
● Describe the relative importance of the types of services needed to help program participants
succeed in the labor market.*
This population faces the challenge of needing to earn a sufficient wage to both provide child
support and pay for the cost of living in a region with a skyrocketing cost of living. Many non-
custodial parents are underemployed or sporadically employed, and have low levels of
education, making it even more challenging to secure employment and earn sufficient wages.
Individuals with a history of incarceration face a particular challenge because they often have
substantial child support payments in arrears when they are released from prison.
The populations in Contra Costa County have need for a variety of services to help them in
meeting their parental responsibilities. Some of the most critical services for this population
include the following:
1. Support to obtain a GED in order to better qualify for positions
2. Support and training to gain basic skills and other essential skills required to be
successful in the workplace
3. Improved tracking of Child Support participants and coordination with them to set
payment amounts at an appropriate level
Additional services that would be useful for this population include:
1. English as a Second Language instruction for those who are learning English.
2. Sector-based training so people can obtain higher paying jobs.
3. Legal assistance in renegotiating the terms of their child support obligation so that it is
an appropriate amount in relation to their financial circumstances.
4. Greater communication between the Child Support Program and partners, including the
WDBCCC, regarding client participation in training programs, to inform decisions on
renegotiating terms of child support obligations until the individual has become
employed.
5. Realistic financial planning support.
Overall, there is a need for a less punitive approach to working with non-custodial parents that
encourages employment and can lead to better outcomes for everyone involved. In addition,
there is a need for enhanced identification of individuals who are willing to pay child support, but
are financially unable. Since motivation is a key element to success in workforce training and

employment, these individuals could then be more strongly targeted for workforce services,
compared to other groups.
3. Services Currently Provided
Describe the types of baseline services that are currently being provided in the local area to individuals
from the Child Support Program population and how the regional and/or local plans will modify the types
and quantity of services provided.*
Non-custodial parents (NPs) are included among the population of those who receive services
from the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC), but the WDBCCC
has not separately tracked those individuals in the past. The WDBCCC and partners do provide
services that may benefit individual members of the Child Support program population, such as
reentry and financial mobility services.
The WDBCCC will work with the Child Support Program (CSP) to better coordinate efforts to
work with NPs. The CSP will work on improved identification of NPs who would benefit from
workforce services, and on referring those individuals to the appropriate supportive services.
The WDBCCC and partners will also start tracking NPs so they can improve communication and
coordination with the CSP and make it easier for the CSP to track individual’s employment
status.
4. Barriers Experienced by Child Support Program Participants
Describe barriers experienced by Child Support Program participants in your local area, including
potential barriers faced by people with disabilities.*
● What existing resources can be utilized to assist with overcoming these barriers?*
Child Support Program (CSP) participants in Contra Costa County face a variety of barriers to
meeting their parental responsibilities.
First, many individuals face challenges such as the extremely high cost of housing, a
suspended drivers license (as a result of delinquent child support payments), substance abuse,
domestic violence, and/or bad credit history and difficulty accessing low-interest loans.
In addition, many individuals in this population face barriers to becoming employed.
Undocumented, formerly incarcerated, and individuals with intellectual and developmental
disabilities all face specific challenges to employment, as described elsewhere in this plan,
which can compound the challenges faced in securing a job that allows the individual to meet
their child support payments.
The CSP also faces barriers in effectively serving this population. CSP cannot spend their
funding on direct services. In addition, the program faces significant challenges in
communicating with case participants about updates to their employment status. Participants
often do not realize they need to communicate updates or choose not to out of fear of losing
wages to child support payments.
There are a wealth of resources in Contra Costa County available to support job seekers that
could benefit non-custodial parents seeking employment. The CSP could better support
program participants in addressing their barriers to employment by being more aware of these
services and resources, and by implementing systems to better identify participants that may be
eligible for or would benefit from those services. Some of the existing resources that could help
non-custodial parents address their barriers to employment include:
1. Opportunity Junction provides comprehensive financial services, job training, career
counseling, and placement assistance. Their services can be useful to individuals with a
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 898
Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County
PY 17-21 Local Plan Modifications--Informational Attachments
8 of 13
past history of incarceration and other individuals with limited employment history or
employable skills.
2. SparkPoint Centers are financial education centers. The services focus in three areas:
managing credit, increasing income (from accessing public benefits to finding a good
job), and building savings and assets for financial literacy. These services could help
non-custodial parents establish greater financial stability, which would help them with
meeting child support payments and get support in finding a good job.
3. Free and low cost adult education resources offered by school districts and
community colleges throughout the county.
4. Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act funding of up to $5,000 for individual training,
including case management and supportive services.
5. Fidelity Bonding Program through the Employment Development Department, which
can help individuals with low credit become bonded. This can help individuals increase
their employability.
6. Pell Grants to support further education.
5. Information Sharing to Evaluate Need
Describe the ways in which program partners will facilitate information sharing to evaluate need.*
To best evaluate the needs of this population, the Child Support Program (CSP) will identify
individuals that would benefit from training and employment support and will connect those
individuals with WDBCCC and other partners for assessment and delivery of needed workforce
services. The WDBCCC will also work with the CSP to establish a communication pathway for
updating CSP staff on the progress of clients in workforce training, employment, and retention.
To support this, the WDBCCC will amend their intake process to track whether they are working
with a non-custodial parent and will get necessary permissions from participants so they can
share information with CSP, depending on confidentiality requirements. The WDBCCC has
taken part in initial conversations on setting up a system to enable those who are working
towards employment to get temporary relief on their child support payments. Finally, the
WDBCCC will coordinate with other relevant partners that serve this population to better identify
needs and track progress.
C. Partnerships and Engagement to Increase Competitive Integrated
Employment for Jobseekers with Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities (ID/DD)
1. Engagement with Local Partners
Explain how your area is engaged or plans to become engaged with local partners to increase CIE for
jobseekers with ID/DD.*
The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) has existing
partnerships with several organizations, in an effort to increase Competitive Integrated
Employment (CIE) for jobseekers with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (ID/DD).
Current partnerships include: Adult Education programs through West Contra Costa Unified
School District and Mt. Diablo Unified School District (WCCUSD), Earn and Learn, Regional
Center, Futures Explored, East Bay Innovations, the Department of Rehabilitation, Employer
Advisory Council, and Bridges to Success. Potential partners include Best Buddies, Adult Living
Center, Commercial Support Services, Toolworks., and Green Ridge.
One example of WDBCCC work in this area includes current implementation of a grant from the
California Employment Development Department for the Disability Employment Accelerator
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 899
Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County
PY 17-21 Local Plan Modifications--Informational Attachments
9 of 13
grant. Through this grant the WDBCCC serves a diverse population that includes: 1) People
with intellectual and developmental disabilities, 2) Those with physical disabilities, and 3)
Veterans with disabilities. This project seeks to accelerate employment for people with
disabilities (PWD) in regional high-demand industry sectors through three key strategies: 1)
Developing and supporting work-based training that can facilitate the transition to full time
employment; 2) Educating employers in regional high-demand sectors about the benefits of
hiring PWD; and 3) Strengthening partnerships and communication between education, high-
demand employers and workforce service providers in order to create a more direct path to
employment for PWD in the East Bay Region. Other project partners include community
colleges, University of California Berkeley, St. Mary’s University, and the other workforce
development boards within the Regional Planning Unit.
In addition, many of the organizations in Contra Costa County have participated in the
development of the Alameda and Contra Costa Local Partnership Agreement (ACC-LPA),
where a wide set of partners from both counties came together to foster preparation for and
achievement of Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) in the region.
The core ACC-LPA partners that are located in Contra Costa County include:
● Regional Center of the East Bay
● Department of Rehabilitation, Greater East Bay District
● Contra Costa County Office of Education
● Mount Diablo Unified School District
● San Ramon Valley Unified School District
● West Contra Costa Unified School District
This group will continue to meet quarterly to expand and solidify their efforts, bringing in new
partners (including the WDBCCC), and creating county-specific sub-groups that can focus on
the specific issues and collaboration needed within each county.
To increase engagement with local partners and increase support for jobseekers with ID/DD,
WDBCCC would like to enhance coordination among partners working with this population. The
ACC-LPA lays out significant thinking on referral processes, information sharing, and other
practices for guiding the collaborative work of partners. To improve partner coordination in
Contra Costa County, WDBCCC and other partners will work to align with and build off the
approaches identified in the LPA to establish consistency and cohesion in practices. WDBCCC
will also work with partners to coordinate regular (quarterly or semi-annual) meetings of all local
partners to improve coordination, information sharing, and partnership.
WDBCCC will work with partners to analyze the current service delivery systems to identify
modifications that would make them more effective and accessible. For example, WDBCCC will
work with partners to improve the referral system with steps such as increasing linkages
between partners to service providers, creating a partner referral mechanism for tracking
referrals, and ensuring warm handoffs in both directions. Other steps may include revising the
information that is available to partners and the ID/DD population to make the language more
accessible (such as fewer acronyms), and fleshing out training opportunities that can affect
individuals with ID/DD, such as training direct service providers to become certified to ask if
people have a disability and what supports they need.
2. Local Board Partnerships
List the names of organizations the Local Board is partnering with to implement these plans.*
The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) currently has
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 900
Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County
PY 17-21 Local Plan Modifications--Informational Attachments
10 of 13
partnerships with a variety of organizations (as described in Section 1) to coordinate their efforts
to serve individuals with ID/DD. In order to implement the plans described elsewhere in this
document, WDBCCC will form additional partnerships with organizations in the community. In
the future, the WDBCCC will build upon relationships established through its DEA initiative.
Additional planned partnerships include the Office of Federal Contract Compliance and the
Ernst and Young Centers for Excellence to explore the possibility of creating a pilot for
employing autistic individuals in Contra Costa County. The WDBCCC will also research models
such as Toolworks, a social enterprise in the County that employs more than 100 individuals
with disabilities in janitorial and staffing businesses, and Project Search, a national program with
local branches that prepares young people with significant disabilities for success in CIE.
WDBCCC has a number of employer partners that have expressed interest in hiring individuals
with ID/DD. The WDBCCC will seek to further educate employers on how to work with
individuals with ID/DD. To further the plans described in this document, WDBCCC will develop
long term partnerships with employers to improve education and awareness levels for working
with ID/DD populations and increase employment opportunities for individuals with ID/DD.
3. Level of Participation
If participating in CIE LPA as explained above, please describe the level of participation.*
The initial CIE LPA meeting in Contra Costa County will be held on January 29, 2019. While the
regional CIE LPA was originally structured to include both Alameda and Contra Costa counties,
the core partners determined that it would be valuable to meet at the county level in order to
make the meetings more productive. The WDBCCC will attend this meeting as an invited
community partner, will participate in the development of strategic goals for 2019, and plans to
become a regular participant in subsequent quarterly meetings.
D. Engaging with Partners to Better Understand the Needs of English
Language Learners, the Foreign Born, and Refugees
1. Local Board Engagement with Stakeholders
In areas where County Employment Service Plans do not exist, Local Boards are required to engage with
stakeholders, including community based organizations, to better understand the data, demographics,
employment trends and other relevant information specific to the LEP, foreign born and refugee
populations. This information should inform the development of strategies to serve this target population.
Specifically, Local Boards should engage stakeholders to accomplish the following:*
● Understand the demographics, barriers to employment and any other relevant information about
the target population. *
● Develop an assessment of gaps in services that English Learners, foreign born and refugees
experience in the workforce system. *
● Identify strategies for outreach and recruitment to these target populations.*
● Identify strategies detailing how Local Boards will work with partners to better serve the LEP,
foreign born and refugee population.*
1. Target Population
Understand the demographics, barriers to employment and any other relevant information about
the target population. *
A total of 6.7% of the households in Contra Costa County are limited English speaking
households, with higher concentrations of limited English speakers in some areas. In the
county, 24.7% of the population is foreign-born.11, 12
11 U.S. Census Bureau, 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table S1602.
September 10, 2019 BOS Minutes 901
Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County
PY 17-21 Local Plan Modifications--Informational Attachments
11 of 13
Contra Costa County is designated by the California Department of Social Services as one of
ten refugee-impacted counties in the state, with a large population of refugees residing there.13
These resettled refugees have varying levels of education; some are highly educated but may
not understand the American job market or what employment opportunities are open to them
while others have low education levels and require intensive assistance.14 In 2013-2017, 43% of
refugees were from the Middle East/Iraq, 27% were from Iran, 10% were from Africa, 4% were
from Afghanistan, and 4% were from Southeast Asia.15
Barriers for the refugee population include: lack of documentation; limited education, lack of
computer literacy, and limited English proficiency; limited access to childcare and transportation;
homelessness; for undocumented individuals, a mistrust and fear of seeking help; lack of self-
confidence; the double barrier of lacking general literacy skills and lacking English language
skills; cultural stigma about applying for benefits; and cultural limitations for women from
countries where education and employment are not encouraged for females. Refugees with
higher levels of education and professional experience in their country may not be aware of the
resources available to help them obtain employment related to their previous training.
Additionally, refugee women who traditionally would have stayed home to raise children are
increasingly seeking employment due to the high cost of living in the United States.
The political climate has also decreased the feeling of safety in these communities, causing
even documented individuals to experience the fear of separation from their families. This can
make it less likely for individuals to pursue services and workforce training that they are eligible
for.
Furthermore, addressing the needs of refugees requires an understanding the different
circumstances of various refugee groups. For instance, according to WDBCCC partners, Afghan
refugee families are often Special Immigrant Visa holders and can work as soon as they arrive.
The men are often well educated and have fewer barriers, while the women tend to experience
more employment barriers and may be illiterate in their own language. Serving such a family
requires a customized approach for each individual in order to meet their particular needs.
2. Gaps in Services
Develop an assessment of gaps in services that English Learners, foreign born and refugees experience
in the workforce system. *
Gaps in services for English Learners (ELs), foreign born, and refugees include the following: a
need for greater availability of resources in all the languages that individuals need, additional
support for people who are contradicting cultural norms, training in cultural competence (e.g.,
eye contact in a job interview or working in teams once employed), job coaching, and
educational training programs targeted specifically to this population. Several key gaps in
services include access to supportive services for child care, transportation, resources that are
available on evenings and weekends, and mental health services and support. Public input
meeting participants also cited knowledge-based gaps that affect this population’s ability to

participate in the workforce system, including computer and technology skills and knowledge
(along with low access to computers), education, knowledge on legal rights in the workplace
(i.e., on issues such as hours and safety), language barriers, and vocational training.
For service providers, meeting participants also named the following gaps: a lack of smooth
handoffs between agencies and services, insufficient interagency communication, low cultural
competence of staff delivering services, and a lack of agency capacity. There is also a lack of
connections to other organizations, including faith-based organizations and organizations that
help more highly-educated professionals. Participants also cited a need for more contextualized
ESL classes to help students bridge from language instruction to skills needed for employment
(e.g., working in groups, critical thinking, etc.).
3. Strategies for Outreach and Recruitment
Identify strategies for outreach and recruitment to these target populations.*
Public input meeting participants suggested a number of strategies that the WDBCCC plans to
implement to improve outreach and recruitment to target populations. For reaching the Hispanic
community, strategies included advertising services through the Spanish media, including
bilingual radio stations, television, and Spanish Facebook ads. More broadly, meeting
participants recommended identifying community-based, faith-based, and cultural organizations
that serve specific populations and have a strong position in specific communities and/or are run
by individuals from those communities. WDBCCC will work with those organizations to share
information and resources in a targeted way to specific groups. Similarly, WDBCCC will make
information about workforce services more broadly available by providing information and
resources at other community access points, including schools (preschools, K-12, adult schools,
and community colleges), libraries, SparkPoint centers, the Employment and Human Services
Department (EHSD) office, Latina Center, Lifelong Medical Care, and local businesses. Finally,
WDBCCC should consider working with members of this population who have received
employment support to provide information to others in their community.
Meeting participants also suggested strategies for partnering with organizations that serve
specific populations. For example, WDBCCC should partner with Adult Schools, which have a
strong history of serving this population and could provide transition specialists that can support
individuals in transitioning to community college. In addition, WDBCCC should build
partnerships with key organizations that work with refugees in the area, such as Catholic
Charities of the Bay Area (the primary supporter of refugees in the Bay Area), International
Refugee Council, Monument Impact, and Lao Family Services.
In addition, meeting participants recommended that WDBCCC strengthen referral relationships
to improve client outcomes. This would include identifying community-based organizations for
referrals for wrap-around support for clients receiving workforce services; establishing a cross-
referral relationship with CoCo Kids for identification of parents who need workforce services;
and establishing referral relationships with organizations that provide support in applying for an
Individual Tax Identification Number for those who do not have a social security number.
The WDBCCC will also seek to expand opportunities for communication with partners that
directly serve this population, in order to learn more about their resources and how the
WDBCCC can leverage and support their activities.
Finally, meeting participants recommended WDBCCC help organizations improve their capacity
to work with this population by increasing the number of their staff and leadership that reflect the
communities of the populations they serve and by building the cultural competence of all staff.

4. Strategies for Working with Partners
Identify strategies detailing how Local Boards will work with partners to better serve the LEP, foreign born
and refugee population.*
The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) identified a number of
strategies for working with partners to better serve the LEP, foreign born, and refugee
populations.
First, the WDBCCC will work to increase collaboration among partners by using Workforce
Integration Network (WIN) meetings to convene providers to discuss how to best support this
population and working with partners to help them figure out how they can support their client’s
employment and training needs.
The WDBCCC will also work to improve the referral process with partners and coordination of
services through the WINs. They will ensure warm handoffs between organizations and follow
up on referrals to confirm clients are receiving the services they need. The WDBCCC will also
increase coordination with partners to provide more integrated services for clients. They will
work with partners to hire community navigators to serve the populations and individuals most in
need, to help them navigate the services they require.
In addition, the WDBCCC will work with partners to increase communication and outreach to the
community. First, they will work with partners to support the development of a centralized
information hub that outlines all relevant resources available to this population to ensure
WDBCCC, partners, and community members are aware of all community resources available.
They will also work with partners to streamline messaging to the immigrant community about
services and programs to make it clear that available resources are integrate and connected.
The Contra Costa Workforce Collaborative will also play an important role as a referral network
for this population.
The WDBCCC will work to expand relevant educational opportunities for this population, such
as concurrent vocational and language training, and partnering with community colleges to
enable individuals to participate in non-credit community college courses (which they can enroll
in regardless of citizenship status).
The WDBCCC will work to expand connections to employers and opportunities for employment.
They will expand employer partnerships to encourage direct employment where possible. The
will also partner with a foreign degree evaluation service (i.e., Upwardly Global) to help
individuals find employment opportunities to apply training and education from their home
country. Finally, WDBCCC will work with partners to host job fairs with job opportunities targeted
for this population.

Health and Safety Screener:
Policies and Procedures for Head Start Programs
Introduction
Organizations that serve young children have an obligation to ensure that children in their
care are in healthy and safe environments, and that policies and procedures that protect
children are in place.
This screener will help organizations to identify where they need to make changes and build
capacity in order to ensure children are healthy and safe while in their care. It contains best
practices as well as requirements found in the Head Start Program Performance Standards.*
Suggestions for Use
1. Complete a health and safety screening for each site where children
receive services.
2. Mark each item in the screening form “yes” or “no.” Provide descriptions for
items marked “no.”
3. Determine issues, priorities, and staff responsible for actions and improvements
within each site and across the program.
4. Follow up to assure improv ements are made in a timely fashion.
--------------------
* This screener does not include all applicable Head Start Pr ogram Performance
Standards, nor does it cover every possible health and safety concern or replace
eac h grantee’s responsibility to ensure ongoing compliance with local, state, and
federal health and safety requirements. Requirements related to healthy and safe
environments can be found throughout the Head Start Program Performance
Standards. Programs should also consult Caring for Our Children Basics, for additional
information to develop and implement adequate safety policies and practices.
