BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Engineers, Local 21 raised concerns with the survey, its objectivity and the methodologies
used to conduct the survey.
On February 11, 2010, the Contra Costa Mental Health Commission discussed the recent
survey conducted by Local One of Mental Health Division staff regarding the Mental
Health Division Administration, and the response to this survey by Local 21. At the end of
this discussion a motion was made and passed on a seven to one vote to ask that the Board
of Supervisors refer the matter of the survey and the response to it to the Internal Operations
Committee for a thorough review and possible recommended actions.
