BACKGROUND
The Finance Committee met again on Monday, February 4 , 1985, with Finance
Committee Chairman Sunne McPeak in attendance. Also represented were
concerned county departments, Advisory Board representatives, employee
union representatives, and representatives of Health Care Delivery Services,
Inc. The Board' s actions of the previous week were reported and a review
of an alternative proposal providing new facilities for the Sheriff, to
preclude use of the Children' s Shelter, reviewed. This proposal would
provide a building addition to 50 Glacier Drive to accommodate communi-
cations dispatching in Phase I and a new building to house Sheriff ' s
Communications Technicians, Sheriff ' s Patrol and Sheriff ' s Investigations
in an adjacent building. The estimated net county cost of this alternative
was indicated to be about $3. 0 million as against the net cost of the
original proposal of about $1. 2 million. It was noted that the difference
of roughly $1. 8 million could probably be financed for about $250, 000 in
annual lease payments assuming 15-year deferred financing. Possible off-
sets in cost were noted including existing lease payments on the building.

Representatives of Health Care Delivery Services , Inc. presented a
program proposal under which the facility would be leased to them
for use as a facility for 45 hard-to-place children with behavioral
disorders. The state has fixed a rate of $2 ,400 per month for such
placements and the county now has 11 such children placed in other
facilities. Health Care Delivery Services, Inc. indicated it has
made a careful sea-rch and had been unable to locate any other
suitable building for the intended purpose in Contra Costa County.
Henry Clarke, representing Local 1, expressed concern about the
additionalcost of the alternative noting that it would require funds
which otherwise might be available for county employee salary
adjustments.
A further meeting of the Finance Committee on February 11, 1985, was
decided upon considering time constraints on adhering to the
March 31, 1985 federal funding deadline.
