Dear Board Members:
We have faced several years of significant financial challenge. The national recession, reduced growth in
local property taxes and the state’s ongoing budget deficits have diminished our available resources. In
recent months it has become apparent that the state's growing operating deficits threaten our community.
Regardless of the specific reductions included in any final state budget, it is clear that counties will be
forced to reduce the level of services we are able to provide to our residents.
Contra Costa has managed the economic downturn over the last several years by working with our
employees in making prudent fiscal choices, living within our means, and continuing our practice of
planning ahead. This financial discipline has allowed us to fulfill our legal mandates and provide
community services that reflect our Mission “to provide public services which improve the quality of life
of our residents and the economic viability of our businesses.”
The last few years have not passed without progress. A few accomplishments this past year include the
groundbreaking of the new West County Clinic, the purchase of land for a future East County
Government Center, and the County’s participation in the East Bay Regional Communications System
Authority’s radio interoperability project. While we are encouraged by these results, we know there are
difficult choices ahead. We face significantly increased pension obligation costs created by recent equity
market losses, a slowdown in local revenues, and a looming state budget deficit. In addition to these
pressures, we are already experiencing greater demand by our residents for County services, including
employment, healthcare and social services. The demand for these services at the local level will increase
as State reductions continue. Choices will become more difficult over the next year, and we will likely
need to make mid-year reductions in FY 2011-12 to keep our budget balanced and on a path toward
financial sustainability.
The Board, Department Heads, and the entire County workforce will continue to work together to retain
the balance in this $2.3 billion (all funds) budget for FY 2011-12 and beyond. The General Fund budget
totals $1.2 billion and includes $47.6 million worth of budget adjustments. If approved, the County will
have reduced its net county costs by $82 million and eliminated approximately 185 positions in total over
the past two years.

Budget Message
The Recommended Budget continues to provide for essential community services to our residents and
attempts to minimize adverse impacts to the community. Once the state budget is adopted, we likely will
need to consider additional budget reductions and will provide the Board with additional options. This
budget proposes some one-time resources to augment public safety. By the end of the current fiscal year,
we plan to have completed labor negotiations with our labor unions. With their help we plan to propose a
long-term rebalancing plan to reduce our expenditures and restructure our service delivery to provide the
most effective services within available resources.
The County organization has come together and is working collaboratively to face our current and future
challenges. I particularly want to thank Department Heads and all of our employees for their valuable and
thoughtful input throughout the process. Our goal has been to ensure a fair and transparent budget
process and to produce a user-friendly budget document. A great deal of effort has been put into
developing and producing this budget.
The Recommended Budget represents a work plan to achieve our mission and priorities in the coming
year. Below are a number of key issues that have informed the development of our budget for next year.
• Property Tax Slowdown: The downturn in the housing market continues to impact the County
budget as over 84% of General Purpose revenues and 21.9% of total General Fund revenues come
from property taxes. As a result, the slowdown in the housing market continues to have a greater
impact on our County than other Counties. The housing slowdown has been very severe in Contra
Costa County. The County experienced a cumulative 10.7% negative assessed valuation since FY
2008-09. The County is projecting a 0% property tax growth rate for FY 2011-12. In previous years,
growth has been atypically high and, unfortunately, our expenditures have counted on that growth.
Once recovery is achieved, a more modest 2-3% annual growth is projected. This reduced growth rate
means that less money will be available to fund current and emerging service needs.
• Employee Benefits and Retiree Health Care/Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB): Another
key issue is the continued financial pressures related to the cost of benefits, including health care, for
employees and retirees. The County reached agreement with the vast majority of our employee
groups to make current employee benefits more competitive while reducing retiree health care costs
for future employees. This action substantially reduced our long-term liability related to providing
retiree health care and virtually eliminated growth in County costs. The budget continues the $20
million annual set-aside, which began in FY 2008-09, to reduce our unfunded liability for retiree
health care. While we would prefer a greater level of pre-funding, the absence of any new resources
makes this impossible without further service cuts. Nevertheless, $20 million will continue to have a
significant impact on the County’s OPEB liability. Our most recent OPEB valuation indicated that
over the last five years, the County has reduced its OPEB liability by over 60% and reduced our
annually required contribution by over 71% (from $216 million to $61.7 million). None of these
reductions could have been achieved without the support and cooperation of our employees.
Continued negotiations towards Countywide health care cost containment strategies and the
redirection of designated future resources remain key to resolving the OPEB dilemma. The Board of
Supervisors continues to make significant progress towards a solution for one of the biggest fiscal
challenges the County has faced to date.
- 3 -
• Pension Benefits: The major issue in FY 2011-12 continues to be the impact of the 2008 equity
market losses in our pension fund, which has necessitated a significant increase in our required FY
2011-12 pension contributions. We estimate a potential $29.2 million increase in FY 2011-12 and
another large increase in FY 2012-13 even if the market continues to significantly improve. In the
meantime, it is appropriate to look to employees for a more equal cost sharing on pension
contributions (see the Retirement/Pension Costs – Future Year Projection/Budgets section of this
letter for more information on pension).
• Long-Term Rebalancing: One of the most important challenges we face over the coming year will
be to rebalance and restructure the County's budget. A long-term solution is needed. Our office will
be working with the Board and departments to review our historical trends, identify service priorities,
and to develop strategies to address the budget imbalance that exists between our annual expenditure
needs and our annual revenues. Our goal will be to provide the most effective and efficient
community services within our available resources.
• State Budget Uncertainties: Given that the County receives approximately one third of its General
Fund funding from the state, we are significantly impacted by state budget uncertainties. The state
faces a structural deficit of $26.6 billion for FY 2011-12. Our recommended budget includes no
budgeted contingency reserve to allow us time to adapt to the expected loss of program revenues.
Instead, we are working with labor to develop additional contingency options such as wage
concessions.
• Infrastructure/Facilities Maintenance: The County needs to adequately maintain its infrastructure
to provide high quality and accessible services to our residents. Given the age of many of our
facilities, we have accrued substantial deferred maintenance. However, the FY 2011-12 budget does
not have an allocation for capital expenditures or for deferred maintenance. Plans are in place to
address our infrastructure needs. FY 2008-09 began implementation of our Capital Facility
Improvement Program. The facility maintenance analysis, which was completed in FY 2007-08,
revealed the level of improvements that will be required to extend the useful life of County facilities,
and promote the health and safety of employees and the public who utilize our County facilities. The
analysis included comprehensive building condition assessments of 93 facilities and a total of 2.9
million square feet of building space, and identified a total of $251.2 million in deferred facilities
maintenance needs and capital renewal requirements organized into four categories based on level of
priority. The distribution of costs by level of priority was as follows:
Priority 1 – Currently Critical $ 2,059,913
Priority 2 – Potentially Critical 25,881,877
Priority 3 – Necessary, but not Critical 175,052,172
Priority 4 – Necessary, within 6-10 Years 48,180,568
Due to significant fiscal constraints, the FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11 budgets includes no
appropriations for capital improvements/expenditures and neither does the FY 2011-12
Recommended Budget. (Capital expenditures are costs incurred for the improvement to or the
acquisition of land, facilities, and infrastructure.) However, staff will continue to work towards a
plan to address our highest priority: critical health and safety capital improvements and to develop a
mechanism for periodic thorough review of all facilities and use. The County Administrator
continues to work with General Services’ staff to implement the Real Estate and Asset Management
- 4 -
Program (RAMP), which was formalized in FY 2009-10. Savings has begun to be achieved through
a thorough review of all facility use and the resulting elimination/consolidation of under used
properties/leases.
• Outstanding Debt: As of June 30, 2010, the County had a total of $729.6 million of outstanding
Pension Obligation Bonds and Lease Revenue Bonds, a detailed listing of which is shown below.
The County’s entire debt portfolio is composed of fixed-rate debt issues. The Debt Policy permits
variable rate issues such as variable rate demand obligations only under special circumstances and
does not presently permit derivatives such as swaps. Even prior to the implementation of its formal
Debt Policy, the County had issued only fixed rate issues. This approach shields the County from the
risks associated with swaps and variable rate issues such as liquidity risk, renewal risk, tax risk, basis
risk and termination risk. It should be noted that Pension Obligation Bonds are taxable securities
whereas the County’s Lease Revenue Bonds are tax-exempt securities. Thus, the True Interest Costs
for the Pension Obligation Bonds are generally higher than those for Lease Revenue Bonds. The
table also includes a listing of lease revenue bonds issued subsequent to the June 30, 2010.

• Debt Service Requirement: The County has debt service requirements for Outstanding Lease
Revenue and Pension Obligaiton Bonds that must be provisioned in each fiscal year. The following
obligations are current as of March, 2011. Note that these are County obligations and do not include
Special Districts or Redevelopment obligations (also excluded are capital leases).

• Refundings: The County Finance Director monitors market conditions for refunding opportunities
that, pursuant to the Debt Management Policy, will produce at least 2% net present value savings for
each maturity of bonds refunded and a minimum of 4% overall present value savings. The table
below sets forth the amount of savings achieved on refundings undertaken since 2002. A total of
$8.51 million of net debt service savings were achieved over the remaining terms of bonds refunded
since 2002. The County’s largest refunding occurred in Fiscal Year 2006-07 when $200.9 million of
prior Certificates of Participation and Lease Revenue Bonds were refunded as part of the plan of
finance for the 2007 Series A and 2007 Series B Lease Revenue Bonds. To the extent that federal
and/or State programs offset debt service cost for projects funded with Lease Revenue Bonds, the
County must share the refunding savings attributable to such projects with the federal and/or State
program.

• Constitutional Amendment and State Realignment: The Governor has proposed massive changes
to the relationship between State funding and management of County operated programs. As of this
date, it is unclear how all of this will occur since it would require a voter approved Constitution
Amendment and extension of a number of taxes that are due to expire the end of June, 2011. The
Realignment of programs would have the counties responsible for many Criminal Justice and Health
and Employment & Human Service programs previously funded by the State. In order to accomplish
all of this, the Constitutional Amendment would provide a dedicated revenue source for the first five
years and a funding mechanism beyond that time. While it is clear that there will be significant
changes to the State and County relationship over the next few years as the State deals with its $24
Billion deficit, it remains to be seen how all of this will occur should the State not be successful in
getting voter approval of the Constitutional Amendment or the tax extensions.

Historical Perspective
Between FY 2000-01 and FY 2007-08, total expenditures for the General Fund grew by an average of
6.6%. They declined by 2.6% in FY 2008-09 and another 6.1% in FY 2009-10. Although they are
budgeted to grow by approximately 4.3% in FY 2010-11 this is due to one-time resources, a decline of
1.9% overall is budgeted for FY 2011-12.

As depicted in the following chart, total revenues began a two year decline in FY 2008-09 and are
budgeted to increase slightly this year due to one-time sources. Although they are expected to grow by
approximately 2.8% in FY 2010-11, a decline rather than growth is expected for Fiscal Year 2011-12,
and the next several years are expected to be relatively flat. These revenues are projected based on
historical trends, which have been impacted by the property tax slowdown (as described above).

As shown below, the County has struggled with maintaining a structurally balanced budget over the
years. And although we are projecting to balance the current year budget with available annual revenues,
the recommended reductions presented for FY 2011-12 coupled with expected State impacts are so
extreme that Reserve use is likely.
Change in General Fund Actual Status (in millions)
Prior to the housing market collapse last year, the County had reversed the declining reserves trend
experienced earlier this decade and achieved a balanced General Fund budget for fiscal years 2005-06
and 2006-07. However as is their purpose, reserves were spent in FY 2007-08 and FY 2008-09 to
alleviate two fiscally difficult years. In FY 2009-10, due to Federal Stimulus funding and negotiated
compensation concessions, the budget was balanced. Although reserves use is expected in FY 2010-11,
the FY 2011-12 Recommended Budget does not anticipate reserve spending for on-going program
expenses.

General Fund Revenue and Appropriations
The County Summary Information available beginning on page B-1 of the Recommended Budget depicts
history and recommendations for all revenue sources and uses for all County funds. The recommended
General Fund budget of $1.207 billion is supported by local, federal, and state resources. Half of our
revenue, $603.5 million (50.0%) is dependent on State and Federal allocations. Our general purpose
revenue available from sources such as property tax and interest income is only $312.7 million. The
remaining ‘Other Local’ revenue is generated primarily by fees, fines, and licenses. In the past, the
assessed valuations of the County’s tax rolls had increased in the double digits due to the strong housing
market. The current economic downturn has eliminated growth in assessed valuation and has greatly
reduced almost all revenue sources.
Total Revenues: $1.207 Billion
These revenue resources are used to fund programs throughout the County. All categories below are self-
explanatory, except ‘Other Charges’, which includes contributions to other funds such as the Enterprise
Funds and interest expense on bonds and other debt. The following chart breaks out recommended
expenditures between the major expense areas.

Government at 18%, Law and Justice at 26%, and Health and Human Services at 56%. The following
chart shows the distribution of resources in these three areas in the FY 2011-12 Recommended Budget.
Distribution of Expenditures
Each department of the County is included in one of these functional areas and is described in detail in
the Recommended Budget. The General Government Functional Group includes Agriculture, Assessor,
Auditor-Controller, Board of Supervisors, Central Support Services, Clerk-Recorder, Conservation and
Development, County Administrator, County Counsel, Crockett/Rodeo Revenues, Debt Service,
Department of Information Technology, Employee/Retiree Benefits, General Services, Human
Resources, Public Works, and Treasurer-Tax Collector. The Law and Justice Functional Group includes
Animal Services, Conflict Defense, District Attorney, Justice Systems Development/Planning, Probation,
Public Defender, Sheriff-Coroner, and Superior Court Related Functions. The Health and Human
Services Functional Group includes Child Support Services, Employment and Human Services, Health
Services Department, and Veterans Services.
Each department was asked to submit a budget that balanced its requirement to provide services with the
County’s goals of adopting a FY 2011-12 General Fund budget that balances annual expenses and
revenues, addresses revenue challenges, pension cost increases, and includes an appropriation for
partially pre-funding the County’s OPEB liability.
The chart below summarizes data for the General Fund. The budget is balanced and reflects sound
financial practices. For example, for the most part ongoing revenues are used for ongoing expenditures
while one-time revenues support one-time spending. As was mentioned above, a portion of General
Fund sources is obligated to support debt service payments.

As shown in the Recommended Budget the majority of program reductions are coming from a handful of
County departments. It should be noted that 82.5% of our general purpose revenue is spent in just seven
departments. The chart below shows the ranking of Department share of general purpose revenue. If we
were to attempt to close the budget gap by totally eliminating general purpose revenue funding from
departments beginning with the bottom of this chart, we would need to eliminate 14 of these 23
departments.

represent rounded/funded FTEs and are not necessarily filled. The actual number of positions
recommended for elimination on May 3 will be higher; this is due to the requirement that all vacant
positions within a department in a specific classification with a lay-off be eliminated – funded or not.
The actual number of lay-offs will be lower due to vacant positions and bumping.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Department and County Administration staff continue to be involved in tracking and pursuing
opportunities available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Federal
Stimulus), which was signed into law on February 17, 2009. The $787 billion stimulus package provided
for unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability and offers a unique opportunity to strengthen
our local economy, create jobs, and fund a variety of local and regional projects. To date, Contra Costa
County has been awarded over $67.8 million in ARRA funds and has received $33.8 million. Over $16
million has been included in the 2011-12 Recommended Budget, $12.7 million is in Health Services. In
an effort to keep the residents informed about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and our
efforts in Contra Costa County, the County Administrator’s Office has posted a report that tracks the
County’s efforts in securing stimulus funding for various projects that will improve the lives of our
residents and stimulate the economy. The report, which is updated regularly, is available for review at
www.cccounty.us.
Fleet/Internal Services Fund
The FY 2011-12 Recommended Budget includes fully funded vehicle depreciation. Requiring the annual
budgeting of full vehicle depreciation will continue to facilitate regularly scheduled replacement of
County vehicles, which began in FY 2008-09.
Retirement/Pension Costs - Future Year Projections/Budgets
As was discussed supra the rising costs of pension benefits are a key issue in Contra Costa. In the 2009
Budget Message, a graph was included that projected the impact of the 2008 Contra Costa County
Employees’ Retirement Association (CCCERA) market losses (26.5%) in combination with unachieved
earning assumptions (then 7.8%) to be a negative impact of over 34%. Even using a five-year smoothing
model, County costs were expected to begin to rise in FY 2010-11 and virtually double by FY 2015-16.
The positive market experience for calendar year 2009 of 21.9% drastically changed the projection,
which was included in the 2010 Budget Message; however, pension costs were still expected to increase
significantly over the next five years. In January 2011 a projection was prepared for the Board of
Supervisors annual Retreat that updated several variables. The projection was updated with the new
known variables – another year of actual history was added, actual data for several months of FY 2010-
11 was included, FY 2011-12 adopted rates were used (which included lowering the CCCERA earning
assumption to 7.75%), the impact of depooling by employer was applied, and both County and Contra
Costa County Fire Protection District POBs were included.
Since that projection, in a letter dated March 11, 2011, CCCERA’s actuary issued a report which
projected employer contribution rate changes based on an estimated 14% market value return for 2010.
The rate changes for the average rate for the aggregate plan were provided. Note that because the actuary
estimated the allocation of the rate changes across the cost groups, the actual rate changes by group may
differ from those shown in the exhibit, even if the plan-wide rate changes are close to those shown below.
As can be seen in the chart, the cumulative impact of smoothing gains and losses is projected to be 8.16%
(as of 12/31/14). Prior to the 2010 market value adjustments these cumulative gains and losses were
projected to be 11.31%. The total impact to the County, all things considered, is expected to be very
close to these figures

The chart below, which County Administration staff and the Auditor prepared together, uses all of the
latest information available for a new five year projection of total County pension costs, including Fire.
The cumulative effect of the market rate improvements is dramatic. Three years of actual data is
presented, a projection of the current year using eight months of actual data, the Recommended Budget is
used for FY 2011-12, and current payroll data is used to project FY 2012-13 and beyond. There is a
significant drop in projected expenses in FY 2014-15; this is due to the retirement of one of the County’s
pension obligation bonds. Note that per the Board’s OPEB funding policy the savings achieved will be
redirected to the County’s OPEB Trust.

proposed. The goal has been to make the cuts this year sustainable into FY 2012-13. In that way we
resolve most of our immediate problems. For this year’s budget – all County departments either reduced
their operating expenses or kept them at a zero increase. Except for employee health insurance and
pension costs – all other increases in operating expenses were minimal. By expanding shared services
and maintaining a rigid attrition program we have reduced the workforce 107 full-time equivalent
positions, with an estimated annual General Fund savings of $47.6 million.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Human Resources:
The Human Resources department is as an example of the impacts that don’t usually get as much
attention as the reduction of deputies, nurses, or district attorneys. The budget includes a reduction of
$558,072. The reduction will require the elimination of funding for five positions: two positions in
Labor Relations and three in the Personnel Services Unit. The elimination of funding for these positions
would increase the workload of existing employees and reduce the effectiveness of the department, and
will significantly impair the County’s ability to negotiate with our recognized employee organizations
within the time frames and parameters established by the Board of Supervisors. Additionally, the amount
of time necessary to announce, test, and produce eligible lists of qualified candidates and will adversely
affect the County’s operating departments in providing vital services to their clients and customers. If a
wage reduction is negotiated as of July, 2011, the Department will be able to restore funding for two
positions in the Personnel Services Unit.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Employment and Human Services:
The Governor’s FY 2011-12 Proposed State budget and the Conference Committee’s deliberations could
significantly impact the number of families currently receiving social services and the County programs
that provide those services. A few of the more profound items under consideration include:
• Reducing the amount of time a family may receive CalWORKs from 60 months to 48 months. Over
1,500 families and over 3000 children will have reduced CalWORKs services. The County will lose
about $10.5 million in funding for assistance and another $2.7 million in the County’s administrative
allocation.
• An 8% reduction in the CalWORKs grant. The monthly grant for over 11,310 Contra Costa families
and almost 20,000 children will be decreased. This will result in a $5.6 million reduction in
CalWORKs assistance expenditures and a $206,400 reduction in the County’s administrative
allocation.
• 11 and 12 year old children will no longer be eligible for subsidized child care. 174 children will lose
child care eligibility. This will create an additional burden for parents to care for their children and
maintain employment, resulting in an $800,000 reduction to the CalWORKs Child Care allocation.
• A 10% reduction in the Title 5 Standard Child Care Reimbursement Rate will result in $1.3 million
funding reduction and the termination of childcare care services for 140 children.
- 20 -
In addition to the above reductions, the Employment and Human Services Department is proposing the
elimination of seven positions and holding sufficient positions vacant due to retirements and other factors
to generate over $2.5 million in salary savings.
Health Services:
The Recommended Budget for the Health Services Department for the 2011-12 fiscal year includes an
$8.3 million reduction from baseline costs. This reduction is being achieved through a variety of
methods. Management reorganization and service delivery modifications will be implemented at the
Hospital and Health Centers to improve accountability, standardization and efficiency. Strategies are
being developed to decrease medically unnecessary hospitalizations. Continued implementation of
LEAN principles will further redesign major service lines. Services will be aggressively managed to
reduce costs and maximize outside revenue. In addition to these efforts, Health Services has recognized
in their budget proposal salary savings that are anticipated to be generated due to a large number of
upcoming retirements coupled with the length of time required to fill vacancies. Already strained staff
will be forced to cover the duties of vacant positions.
LAW AND JUSTICE
District Attorney:
The District Attorney (DA) advises that the reduction of nine staff attorneys and three inspector positions
will have extreme consequences, as these reductions compound prior-year staff reductions. His office
would no longer be able to implement the County policy of zero-tolerance on domestic violence cases,
including elder abuse and those cases in which the victim refuses to cooperate. The DA would be unable
to prosecute a substantial number of the 3,000 domestic violence referrals received by his office each
year. The proposed reductions in attorney staff would prevent the DA’s office from being able to
prosecute first time offenders for failure to register as sex offenders. These offenses are currently
prosecuted as felonies. With this cut, offenders would have to be placed in a diversion program instead.
Likewise, the DA’s ability to successfully prosecute the annual 11,000 misdemeanor crimes committed
by adults and juveniles will be severely compromised.
Probation:
Juvenile Hall detention units house only residents who have been arrested for serious and violent felonies
or for violating the Court’s order. The Recommended Budget calls for closure of one Juvenile Hall Unit,
which would reduce the capacity from 190 to 160. When the facility reaches its maximum capacity,
serious and violent youthful offenders will be released into the community without supervision pending
court proceedings, significantly impacting community safety. Each time a law enforcement agency
attempts to admit a new offender, it will necessitate the release of an offender currently in custody in
order to maintain the 160 cap. If the population rises above the cap, additional staff will be required at an
increased cost and could result in sanctions from the Corrections Standards Authority.
Loss of 20.5 adult general supervision deputies will result in virtually all adult probationers being placed
in a “banked” caseload, meaning that approximately 1,720 serious and violent felons will remain
unsupervised in the community and only receive attention when they commit another crime. Loss of 13
Juvenile supervision deputies will reduce supervision services to youth who are wards of the Court. This
would be the first time in the history of the Contra Costa County Probation Department that there would
be an unsupervised banked juvenile caseload similar to adult probation. These youth would only receive
attention when they commit a new criminal act.
- 21 -
Public Defender:
Reduction in attorney staff available to represent felony clients will result in a 50% reduction in felony
cases covered in the Central/East end of the county and an increase of approximate 75 felony cases per
month referred to the criminal conflicts defense panel, at an additional cost to the County.
Sheriff-Coroner:
In order to provide some idea of the significance of $5.4 million in personnel reductions, consider that
this represents the equivalent of:
• 22 Lieutenant positions, or;
• 26 Sergeant positions, or;
• 32 Deputy Sheriff positions, or;
• 48 Sheriff’s Dispatcher positions, or;
• 65 Clerical positions
Service levels in the Custody Services Bureau are largely mandated, leaving three areas in which the
reductions must be taken: Administration (Fiscal/Personnel/Professional Standards), Field Operations
(Patrol/Coroner), and/or Support Services (Crime Lab/Technical Services-Communications/Emergency
Services).
For example, a $5.4 million cut would equate to:
• a 20% cut in the Patrol Division, or;
• complete elimination of the Office of Emergency Services AND the Marine Patrol Division; or
• a 33% cut in the Technical Services/Communications Division, or;
• virtual elimination of the Crime Lab (since it is more than 50% revenue offset), or;
• nearly complete elimination (about 90%) of the Sheriff’s Investigations Division.
After years of cost cutting and downsizing, there are no cost reduction options remaining that do not
significantly jeopardize public safety and the vital direct and support services provided by the County's
Justice Departments to local law enforcement agencies, such as communications, forensics,
investigations, crime lab, data networking, and training; and on behalf of county citizens, such as
prosecution and defense, and incarceration, supervision, treatment, and rehabilitation of criminals.
Criminal justice is an intricate mesh of services that can tolerate no weak links. All areas of the system
must be adequately supported in order for the system to work effectively.
Conclusion
This budget reflects years of careful comprehensive and continuing review of County operations to cope
with exceptionally difficult economic times. In our assessment of county operations – and at every
opportunity we have made changes in delivering services that are more efficient and less costly. These
changes have allowed us to protect the services that residents need and expect from county government.
The County will continue to adapt to changing circumstances. Our strategy in the coming years is to
harness our organizational discipline and innovation to reduce our spending and continue our Mission:
“to provide public services that improve the quality of life of our residents and the economic viability of
our businesses”.

Recommendations
This Recommended Budget provides for a General Fund budget of $1.2 billion, and an All Funds County
budget of $2.3 billion. It contains $62.6 million in reductions including our Enterprise Funds and the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
Based on all the aforementioned, it is recommended that the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors:
1. Open and conduct a public hearing to receive input on the FY 2011-12 Recommended Budget;
2. Acknowledge that, due to significant market losses in the Contra Costa County Employees
Retirement Association assets, retirement expenses are expected to increase significantly in the next
five years.
3. Acknowledge that the Recommended Budget balances annual estimated expenditures with
estimated revenues in FY 2011-12, and although technically balanced with the judicial use of one-
time reserves is not structurally balanced;
4. Acknowledge that action by the State regarding its budget will require subsequent adjustments to
the Recommended Budget adopted by the Board;
5. Acknowledge that although the Recommended Budget does not include a specific appropriation for
contingency, that the Board maintains its ability to manage General Fund contingencies during the
fiscal year by use of reserve funds set aside for that purpose;
6. Acknowledge that any restoration of any recommended program reductions will require an
equivalent reduction in funds from other County priorities in order to adhere to our Budget Policy
to adopt a balanced budget;
7. Direct the County Administrator to prepare for Board adoption on May 3, 2011, the FY 2011-12
County and Special District Budgets, as modified, to incorporate any changes directed by the Board
during these public hearings; and
8. Direct the County Administrator to prepare for consideration by the Board of Supervisors on May
3, 2011, lay-off resolutions necessary to carryout Board action on the Recommended Budget.
Sincerely,
DAVID TWA
County Administrator

ABOUT CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
Contra Costa County was incorporated in 1850 as one of the original 27 counties of
California. It is one of nine counties in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area. The
County’s total land area is 481,422 acres or 752 square miles: the western and northern
shorelines are highly industrialized, while the interior sections are suburban/residential,
commercial and light industrial. Within the boundaries of the County are 19 cities, which
cover 168,466 acres or 263 square miles. The unincorporated land area is 312,956
acres or 489 square miles. Based on the 2010 Census, the County’s population was
1,049,025; a 10.5% increase between 2000 and 2010. Fifteen percent or 159,773
residents live in the unincorporated areas of the County and 85% or 889,252 live in
cities.
A five-member Board of Supervisors, each elected to four-year terms, serves as the
legislative body of the County, which has a general law form of government. The
County provides the full range of services contemplated by statute, including public
protection, highways and streets, sanitation, health and social services, planning and
zoning, and general administrative services. The County Administrator, David Twa, is
appointed by the Board and is responsible for running the day-to-day business of the
County. The County Administrator is also responsible for presenting the Board with a
Recommended Budget for consideration of adoption as the Final (Adopted) Budget,
which will serve as the foundation of the County’s financial planning and control.

Introduction
A-4 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING & POLICIES
Contra Costa County is committed to prudent fiscal management and engages in
targeted long-term financial planning. The Board of Supervisors has adopted a
comprehensive set of financial management policies to provide for: (1) the annual
adoption of a policy for the prudent investment of County funds; (2) establishing and
maintaining a General Fund reserve; (3) establishing formal fiscal policies regarding the
adoption and maintenance of an annual balanced budget; (4) establishing parameters
for issuing and managing debt; and (5) Workers' Compensation Confidence Level
Policy. Each of these financial management policies is described below and available
by contacting the County Administrator's Office at (925) 335-1023 and on the County's
website under Financial Information at: http://ca-contracostacounty.civicplus.com.
Investment Policy. California Government Code statutes and the County Investment
Policy govern the County's investment pool activity. Those statutes and the Investment
Policy authorize the County Treasurer to invest in securities issued by the U.S.
Government Treasury and its Agencies, certain corporate bonds and notes, bankers'
acceptances, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, and
the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and securities lending
transactions. The Board approved its first Investment Policy in 1994 and the most
recent update to the Investment Policy on June 8, 2010.
The County Investment Policy is reviewed and approved annually by the Board of
Supervisors (Board); all amendments to the Investment Policy must be approved by the
Board. The Board has established a seven member Treasury Oversight Committee
pursuant to State Law. Members of the Treasury Oversight Committee are: the County
Superintendent of Schools; a representative selected by a majority of the presiding
officers of the governing bodies of the school districts and community college districts in
the County; a representative selected by a majority of the presiding officers of the
legislative bodies of the special districts in the County that are required or authorized to
deposit funds in the County Treasury; a representative appointed by the Board of
Supervisors; and three members of the public nominated by the County Treasurer-Tax
Collector. The Treasury Oversight Committee is responsible for conducting a quarterly
review of the County investment portfolio, which is presented to the Board of
Supervisors, and annually updating the Investment Policy.
The Contra Costa County Investment Pool was rated by Standard & Poor's (S & P) on
September 30, 2010. The Investment Pool was assigned a fund credit quality rating of
"AAAf" and a fund volatility rating of "S1+." The "AAAf" rating is S & P's highest fund
credit quality rating with the "S1+" volatility rating reflecting low sensitivity to changing
market conditions. The Investment Pool has maintained its AAAf and S1+ ratings since
first rated in November 2007.
General Fund Reserve Policy. In December 2005 the Board of Supervisors
established a General Fund Reserve Policy directing the establishment and
maintenance of a reserve fund to, among other things, "enhance the management of
the County's finances and maintaining the County's credit quality." The Reserves Policy
requires the County to maintain a General Fund balance equal to a minimum of 10% of
the General Fund revenues and an unreserved balance equal to a minimum of 5% of
Introduction
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget A-5
General fund revenues. Reserves exceeding the minimum are applied only to one-time
uses, such as additional reserves or capital projects, up to an amount equal to 1% of
General Fund revenues. The Reserves can only be used in emergencies and if
accompanied by a Board-approved plan to restore Reserves to the target levels. The
County's audited financial report for fiscal year 2009-2010 confirms compliance with the
Reserves Policy: the total General Fund balance was 11.5% of General Fund revenues
and the unreserved portion was 8.6%.
Budget Policy. In November of 2006 the Board of Supervisors established a Budget
Policy. The objectives of the County Budget Policy are to establish best practices for
the County's budget process. Requirements of the Budget Policy include the adoption
of structurally balanced budgets; preparation of multi-year (3-5 year) financial
projections as part of the annual budget planning process; mid-year updates on budget
status by department, with corrective actions presented to the Board within 30 days for
any cost centers over budget; and the adoption of an annual budget early enough (and
no later than May 31) to allow all impact on programs and/or revenues to be in effect on
the first day of the new fiscal year (July 1). A Balanced Budget is defined as a budget
where Total Sources, including Fund Balances, equal Total Requirements, including
Reserves and Contingencies, for each appropriated fund (see fund structure chart in
Appendix).
Debt Management Policy. In December of 2006 the Board of Supervisors established
a Debt Management Policy. The County Debt Management Policy formalized the
guidelines for the issuance and management of various types of debt instruments and
other financial obligations. The Debt Management Policy provides that the County will
undertake multi-year capital planning and sets forth guidelines for the term of debt
issues, refunding savings targets, and other structural debt features. The Debt
Management Policy established a Debt Affordability Advisory Committee (consisting of
the County Auditor-Controller, County Treasurer-Tax Collector, Deputy Director -
Redevelopment Agency and the County Finance Director) that establishes the viability
of any proposed debt-financing, monitors and evaluates the County's performance
against various debt ratio benchmarks, and annually prepares a comprehensive debt
capacity report for the County Administrator. The Debt Affordability Advisory Committee
monitors specific statistical measures and compares them to those of other counties,
rating agency standards, and the County's historical ratios. The most recent Debt
Report was issued by the Debt Affordability Advisory Committee on March 17, 2011.
Workers' Compensation Confidence Level Policy. In September of 2007 the Board
of Supervisors adopted a Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund funding policy
to establish a targeted minimum confidence level of 80% ('confidence level' is a
measure of the probability that the Workers' Compensation Trust Fund will have enough
money to cover all benefits and claims that have been incurred). The 80% confidence
level objective was again exceeded in fiscal year 2009-2010 and was in excess of 95%.
Presently, the County pays $20 million annually to the Workers' Compensation Internal
Service Fund; this payment, along with a stable loss experience and relatively flat
payments, has resulted in a high confidence level of the Workers' Compensation
Internal Service Fund.
Introduction
A-6 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
COUNTY BUDGET PROCESS DESCRIBED
As depicted in the preceding illustration, the County Budget Process is a continuous
cycle of developing, monitoring and planning. At the same time, there are certain steps
involved in developing the annual budget.
Budget Development. The County's fiscal year spans from July 1 to June 30; however,
the budget development process begins as early as December with the Board of
Supervisors setting a Preliminary Budget Schedule for preparation of the up-coming
budget. The County Administrator presents the Board, Department Heads and the
public with an analysis of key issues and budget projections in January, followed by
budget instructions, departmental budget submissions, meetings with Departments in
February and March and presentation of the State Controller’s Office required Budget
Schedules and Recommended Budget for Board consideration in April (FY 2011-2012
Budget Development Calendar for dates of key meetings/deliverables). Absent the
adoption of the County’s Recommended Budget by June 30, the State Controller’s
Office Recommended Budget Schedules are passed into the new fiscal year as the
spending authority until a Final Budget is adopted. Unlike the State Controller’s Office
Recommended and Final Budget schedules, which are solely publications of financial
State Schedules required by State Statutes collectively referred to as the County
Budget Act, the County Recommended Budget includes detailed information and
narrative regarding the County, including its current and projected financial situation;
the programs/services and administrative/program goals of individual Departments; and
the County Administrator's budgetary recommendations for the upcoming budget year.
Introduction
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget A-7
After public hearings and budget deliberations, the Board adopts the Recommended
Budget by May 31 (pursuant to Board Policy). After the State budget is passed (legally
due by June 15) and County fiscal year-end closing activities are completed in August,
a Final Budget is prepared for Board consideration. (Pursuant to the County Budget
Act, the deadline for adopting a Final Budget is October 2 each year. This allows
incorporation of any needed adjustments resulting from the State budget.) If significant
changes to programs or revenues are required based upon the State budget and/or
closing activities, public Budget Hearings regarding the Final Budget may be scheduled.

Introduction
A-8 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
Budget Monitoring and Adjustments to the Final Budget. The County Administrator
monitors actual expenditures and revenue receipts each month and mid-year
adjustments may be made so that the County's Budget remains in balance throughout
the fiscal year. On an annual basis, the County Administrator’s staff prepares a report
presented to the Board of Supervisors that details the activity within each budget
category and provides summary information on the status of the County’s Budget.
Actions that are necessary to ensure a healthy budget status at the end of the fiscal
year are recommended in the budget status report; other items which have major fiscal
impacts are also reviewed.
Supplemental appropriations, which are normally financed by unanticipated revenues
during the year, and any amendments or transfers of appropriations between summary
accounts or departments, must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Pursuant to a
Board of Supervisor Resolution, the County Administrator is authorized to approve
transfers of appropriations among summary accounts within a department as deemed
necessary and appropriate. Accordingly, the legal level of budgetary control by the
Board of Supervisors is at the department level.
BUDGETARY BASIS FOR ACCOUNTING
The County uses an encumbrance system as an extension of normal budgetary
accounting for the general, special revenue, and certain debt service and capital project
funds to assist in controlling expenditures. Under this system, purchase orders,
contracts, and commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to
reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year-
end are recorded as reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute
expenditures or liabilities, and are re-established, along with their encumbered
appropriations as part of the following year’s budget. Any appropriation remaining in the
departments at the end of the fiscal year automatically lapse and are transferred to fund
balance. The year-end fund balance, along with projected revenues, becomes available
for appropriation the following year.
The Final Budget adopted by the Board of Supervisors for the General Fund includes
budgeted expenditures and reimbursements for amounts disbursed to or received from
other County funds. Revenues received from other County funds for reimbursement of
services are generally budgeted in Interfund Revenues, such as facilities maintenance.
Transfers to and from other County funds to provide reimbursements of costs are
generally budgeted in Charges for Services, Miscellaneous Revenue and Expenditure
Transfers.
The budget for governmental funds, such as the General Fund, may include a sub-
object level known as “intrafund transfers’ in the charges to appropriations. This sub-
object level is an accounting mechanism used by the County to show reimbursements
between operations within the same fund. An example of an intrafund transfer would be
a General Fund department, such as the Sheriff’s Office, reimbursing the Facilities
Maintenance Section of General Services – this would represent a transfer between
General Fund budget units for services performed.
Introduction
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget A-9
Budgets are adopted on the modified accrual basis. Accounting policies used in
preparation of its audited financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to counties. The County’s governmental funds use the modified
accrual basis of accounting. This system recognizes revenues when they become
available and measurable. Expenditures, with the exception of unmatured interest on
general long term debt are recognized then the fund liability is incurred. Proprietary
funds use the accruals basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when
they are earned and become measurable, while expenses are recognized when they
are incurred.

CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline Budget
The baseline net County cost represents a $29,961 increase over the 2010/11
Adjusted Budget. This increase is primarily a result of increased salary and
benefits costs from expiring furlough days.
Recommended Budget
The Department of Agriculture is able to reach their budget target by reducing
their service level from the Department of Information Technology ($20,000) and
a reduction in temporary salaries ($10,000).
Performance Measurement
Contra Costa County is now generally infested with the Light Brown Apple
Moth (LBAM). In order to enforce regulations preventing the movement of
LBAM to other locations in the county and state, the Department entered into
compliance agreements with nurseries and growers within the quarantine
area to perform monthly inspections per Federal protocol. Seventy-two
growers are affected, involving inspection by department staff of 151 fields.
Additionally eight wholesale shipping nurseries are inspected monthly for
compliance with the quarantine requirements.
Administrative and Program Goals
Continue developing the Canine Program through a quality internal training
program and expand the program to other high-risk carrier sites, including
additional U.S. Post Office facilities and airports;
Further survey and outreach to uncover properties that are infested with
Japanese Dodder and monitor previously infested sites so that eradication
can be declared;

funding, extramural grants/gifts and volunteer
hours provided $10 in match for every $1
contributed by Contra Costa County. The
Program works with County farmers to assure a
sustainable food system that is safe, productive,
environmentally friendly and economically
viable; provides educational programs for youth-
serving professionals in topics such as positive
youth development, civic engagement, and
adolescent development; administers the 4-H

CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost represents a
$29,961 increase over the 2010/11 Adjusted
Budget. This increase is primarily a result of
increased salary and benefits costs from
expiring furlough days and increased pension
expenses.
The Department of Agriculture is able to reach
their budget target by reducing their service level
from the Department of Information Technology
($20,000) and a reduction in temporary salaries
($10,000).
Performance Measurement
Contra Costa County is now generally
infested with the Light Brown Apple Moth
(LBAM). In order to enforce regulations
preventing the movement of LBAM to other
locations in the county and state, the
Department entered into compliance
agreements with nurseries and growers
within the quarantine area to perform
monthly inspections per Federal protocol.
Seventy-two growers are affected, involving
inspection by department staff of 151 fields.
Additionally eight wholesale shipping
nurseries are inspected monthly for
compliance with the quarantine
requirements.
Curtailed the spread of four new pests,
thereby reducing pesticides needed to
control them; provided the lead in the first
detection and the rapid development of

responsible eradication, education and
management programs for Cherry Buckskin
Disease, Vine Mealy Bug, Glassy-winged
Sharpshooter, and Sudden Oak Death.
The Canine Program continues to
successfully pass the United States
Department of Agriculture testing
requirements. The two teams continue to
work regionally in 11 Greater Bay Area
counties and alerted on a total of 56,763
parcels at FedEx, UPS, and California
Overnight shipping facilities. There were a
total of 2,270 unmarked packages of
Agricultural commodities that were
intercepted. Within these parcels 53 pests
were discovered which were rated as
serious exotic pests. The Canine program
has successfully expanded to include a U.S.
Post Office facility. The number of
canine/handler teams has grown throughout
the state due to an increase in funding from
the Farm Bill. There are now a total of 10
teams in California versus 6 during 2009.
No new infestations of the A-rated pest,
Japanese Dodder were found in 2010. All
infested plant material from the 46
previously infested properties have been
removed and continue to be monitored for
signs of infestation. Additional high risk
areas were identified and surveyed for the
presence of this serious exotic weed pest
Two new contract agreements have been
developed with the California Dept. of
Agriculture (CDFA). Asian Citrus Psyllid
(ACP) and European Grape Vine Moth
(EGVM). Currently, ACP has been detected
in Southern California and EGVM, the only
known infestation in the U.S., has recently
been detected in Napa County.
As an outgrowth of the propane meter
inspection program, the Weights &
Measures Division has added cryogenic
measuring devices to their inspection
program. This involves testing meters that
measure industrial gases that are metered in
a liquid state, such as carbon dioxide. We
have found five locations that operate this
type of meter.
The Weights & Measures Division filed
twenty-four Administrative Actions this past
year against companies operating in Contra
Costa County. Twelve of the actions were
for pricing errors at retail outlets that
resulted in $9,200 in administrative penalties
against these companies. Additionally,
there are several pending cases with the
District Attorney’s office regarding
overcharges. These actions underscore the
growing importance of the Price Verification
Program.
Under the Nutrition Program, taught (over a
two-year period) 1,300 Food Stamp eligible
adults how to improve their eating and
physical activity habits. Evaluations showed
that 91% improved their nutrition knowledge;
78% adopted healthier eating habits.
Graduated over 100 low-income adults from
an eight-week nutrition series for low-income
families with children. Eighty-two percent
(82%) improved their eating habits. A
national program evaluation showed that for
every dollar spent on this program, $10.64
was saved in health care costs and $2.48
was saved in food costs.
Trained/managed 150 Master Gardener
volunteers who contributed 9,500 hours
(valued by the Independent Sector at
$199,500) educating local residents on a
wide range of topics that promote healthy
and sustainable homes and communities:
proper plant problem diagnosis; safe pest
management techniques that minimize
pesticide use; water conservation and
drought tolerant landscaping; composting
and green waste reduction; and home food
production that promotes food security and
healthy eating.
Enrolled 3,081 youth and 474 adults in the
4-H Club and School Enrichment programs.
Youth learned leadership, citizenship and
life skills. Youth completed projects in
agriculture, nutrition, leadership, science
and technology, domestic animal husbandry
and others. Participants contributed 39,356
volunteer hours to club projects and
community service which equates to
$826,476 in community support.

CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost reflects a
$429,369 increase from the fiscal year 2010-
11 budget. The increase is due primarily to
increased salary and benefit costs as a result
of the expiring furlough days and increased
pension and retiree health costs. The
Department is, however, anticipating salary
savings of $400,000 as a result of anticipated
delays in filling vacant positions.
The Assessor’s office has experienced a high
level of turnover in the past few years resulting
from resignations and retirements. As of
March, 2011 the Department will have 41
vacancies out of 122 authorized positions,
which represents a 34% reduction in
workforce. Reduced staffing levels make it
extremely difficult for the Department to close
the regular and supplemental assessment rolls
in a timely fashion. Further reductions will
negatively impact the amount of property tax
revenue and supplemental tax roll cost
recovery that the County receives during the
year. Therefore, the County Administrator is
recommending only the reduction of the
aforementioned $400,000 resulting from salary
savings.
Performance Measurement
• In August of 2010, the Assessor’s Office
successfully migrated to a web-based email
application. This new application runs on a
dedicated server at DOIT which has greatly
improved the overall stability and security of
the email system. All department
employees have received training on the
new application and are using the enhanced
features of the email system including
calendaring and to-do lists.
• Since July of 2010, the Assessor’s Office
has been working with staff from DOIT to
implement programming changes to the
County’s Land Information System (LIS)
which will improve the way in which the
assessment roll is created throughout the
year. As part of this process, we have
evaluated and redesigned business
processes and procedures to improve
efficiencies and streamline the work flow
between the appraisal and support staff.
We plan to begin parallel testing of this new
program at the close of the assessment roll
in June of 2011.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Maintain sufficient staffing levels to meet
statutory program obligations and deliver a
timely assessment roll.
• Reduce the backlog of assessment appeals
that was created from temporary declines in
values associated with the recent downturn
in both the residential and commercial real
estate markets.
• Complete parallel testing on the new
programming changes in the Land
Information System (LIS) and implement
and train staff on the new business
processes, procedures and work flows with
the goal of improving operational efficiencies
within the Assessor’s Office.

CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost represents a
$270,583 increase over the 2010/11 Adjusted
Budget. Included in this figure are the following:
increased salary and benefit costs from expiring
furlough days and increased pension expenses;
increased operating expenses; Enterprise e-time
project startup costs; and increased expenditure
transfers.
The Auditor Controller’s Office will meet their
budget target though salary & benefit savings in
the following ways: flexibly downgrading
positions as employees retire; holding positions
vacant for as long as is operationally possible;
and reducing supply costs.
Performance Measurement
1. Implement mandated accounting/budget
revisions: Working with the County
Administrator’s Office GASB 54 (Fund
Balance), GASB 59 (Financial Instruments,
and the Budget Act
• Complete by end of FY 2010/11
2. Continue Automation Efforts
• Converted Program Accounting reports
to PDF and created an on-line look up
that saved the County’s Program
Accounting departments 30% of their
report production costs. Those charges
now remain within the County (DOIT)
instead of going to an outside vendor.
The on-line reports enable more staff to
access them and eases budget analysis
by management.
• Automated manual Deposit Permit
corrections (TC 25’s), Special District
Warrant corrections (TC50’s) and
Opening Balance transactions (TC21’s).
• Implement Office 2010 by end of March
2011 and provide in-depth training to
advance the entire staff’s level of
computer skills. Roll out of the new
package will allow our Office work more
efficiently with the County
Administrator’s Office, DOIT, and
Human Resources.
• Converted Employee Demand reports to
PDF and made the audit process
paperless.
Auditor-Controller
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C1-17
3. Implement Board approved payroll changes
due to County/Labor agreements.
• Work with County Administrator, Human
Resources, and Department of
Information Technology to ensure the
proper execution of several
County/Labor Agreements (such as
Agreed Time Off (ATA).
4. Continue to work with internal and external
staff to ensure that the County’s overall
internal controls are in place and functional
• The Internal Audit division completed 24
audits and three special projects. In
addition to the general departmental
audits, audits were conducted in the
areas of information technology,
Treasury cash and investments,
departments’ procurement card usage,
and departments’ inventory counts. The
Office of the Auditor-Controller was, and
continues to be, subject to internal and
external audits.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Work to maintain the same level of services
with considerably less funding and staff
resources
• Continue to make steady progress in the
Automated Data Entry (ADE) project
implementation
• Kick-Off Enterprise e-time Timekeeping
Implementation project
• Perform additional reviews and audits to
protect assets and ensure fiscal and County
compliance.
•
• Increase the turnaround for issuing financial
audit reports.
• Complete internal review of processes and
procedures within the Office to maximize
resources.

Included are data for the following budget units.
0002 – Clerk of the Board
0356 – Local Agency Formation Commission

Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
Description: To provide staff support to the
Board of Supervisors by recording and compiling
the actions of the Board taken in open session;
maintaining the official records; preparing the
weekly agenda and summary; and maintaining a
roster of various Boards and Committees.
Adjustment: The baseline net County cost
represents a $156,051 increase over the fiscal
year 2010-11 Adjusted Budget. This increase is
due primarily to increased salary and benefit
costs as a result of the expiring furlough
days. Also included in the increase is a
projected loss of $8,000 in Land Development
fees from the Conservation and Development
Department. Development in the County has
stagnated and as a result revenue from fees has
continued to drop.
The County Administrator is recommending a
net reduction of $10,250. This savings will be
achieved by reducing funding for operating
expenses which will require additional
operational efficiencies and deferrals of
equipment maintenance.
Impact: The recommended net County cost will
provide a minimum level of general fund
resources needed to maintain mandated
services in fiscal year 2011-12.

LAFCO
Description: Encourage orderly formation and
development of local government agencies and
approve, amend, or disapprove applications to
create new cities or special districts, and modify
boundaries of existing agencies.
Adjustment: Appropriations were reduced by
$24,587. The level of appropriations reflects the
anticipated County’s share of LAFCO activity for
fiscal year 2011-12. These activities include:
Municipal Service Reviews; Sphere of Influence
applications; Annexation applications.
Impact: The general fund contributes an
amount equal to one-third of the total estimated
operating costs for LAFCO (less fee revenues)
for FY 2011-12. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg
LAFCO Reorganization Act of 2000 requires that
LAFCO’s operating costs be shared equally
amount the cities, County and special districts.
The LAFCO operating budget is not reflected in
a County fund, instead it is treated as an outside
agency with only the County’s one-third
contribution in the County General Fund.

Description: This special fund is dedicated to
provide staff and technology to maintain
procedures, equipment and computers that
efficiently organize documents in the Recorder’s
Division to be able to quickly identify and locate
documents for the public and other County
users. This fund also provides resources to

CAO’s Recommendation
For the Clerk-Recorder Department’s general
fund budgets, baseline expenditures reflect a
$1,965,841 increase over FY 2010-11. These
expenditure increases are due to the increased
cost of elections for the upcoming year, as well
as the increased costs of salaries and benefits
for the new classification structure in the Clerk-
Recorder Division. The department was able to
fund these classifications through new revenues
(SB676 2010). SB676 allowed the Clerk-
Recorder Division to increase recording fees to
pay the costs associated with recording and
indexing of documents. The Clerk-Recorder
Department’s general fund revenue is projected
to increase by $2,253,904, which is attributed to
increased revenues from SB676 and the
expected reimbursement from the State for the
costs associated with a June 2011 Statewide
special election. The additional Recorder
revenues will offset some of the projected
election expenditure increases.
Performance Measurements
• The Clerk-Recorder Department
successfully prepared for and conducted the
November 2010 Gubernatorial election, the
expected June 2011 Statewide special
election (at print, this election had still not
been officially called by the State), as well
as several smaller special elections.
• The Department was able to utilize Federal
Help America Vote Act (HAVA) grant
funding to improve processes and efficiently
meet Federal and State Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and outreach
requirements, which included work toward
the goal of making all Contra Costa voting
precincts ADA accessible.
• The Department is in the midst of a program
to redact all but the last four digits of Social
Security numbers within its official records.
This began in 2009 with a “go-forward” live
program at the same time as historical
records are being converted to the redacted
version through a parallel process. This was
accomplished with non-General Fund fees
dedicated to this purpose.
• The Department identified additional
historical and functional records to digitize
for archival purposes, which is scheduled for
the upcoming year. At the completion of this
project, all records in the Clerk-Recorder
Division will be digitally preserved.
• The Clerk-Recorder Division expects to start
the electronic recording of documents by
mid-2011. Delays occurred while the State
Attorney General worked out the approval
processes as well as the procedures
counties must follow. The Department has
been working toward this goal since 1997.
• The department continues to work on
remaining building issues, including signage.
Clerk-Recorder-Elections
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C1-37
Administrative and Program Goals
• Conduct the June 2011 Statewide special
election and the November 2011 UDEL
(Uniform District Election Law) Election, as
well as several special elections.
• Continue to explore and implement (with
District Attorney’s Office staff), a fraud
notification program in the Clerk-Recorder
Division.
• Continue with the Clerk-Recorder Division
personnel reorganization. The new
technical classification structure has been
completed. Cross-training of staff continues
to provide increased skills to improve
customer service. As positions become
vacant, they are being transitioned to the
new classification structure.
• Continue to pursue ways to utilize new
revenues from SB676 to improve document
recording and indexing processes.
• Continue to work at the State and Federal
level on legislation and policies to benefit
California and Contra Costa County.
• Continue to aggressively pursue
reimbursements for services provided, such
as State special elections.
• Look for new sources of revenue and areas
of potential savings in the operations of both
divisions.
• Continue to maximize the use of HAVA and
Prop. 41 grant funding to assure Contra
Costa utilizes its entire allocation (funding
will revert back to the State at a set deadline
if not used). These funds will be used to
meet Federal, State ADA and bilingual
requirements.
• Complete project to fully digitize the
Recorder’s Division operations to allow for
improved access, conversion to new
technologies and secure archives of
records.
• Implement electronic recording with trusted
entities by late 2011. This will reduce costs
and improve efficiencies.
• Complete implementation of Clerk-Recorder
Division records redaction program.
• Continue to work on remaining issues with
the new facility and ongoing maintenance
issues, including interior and exterior
signage, security system integration; pursue
solar or other fuel alternatives.

Conservation and Development
General Government
Contra Costa County FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C1-53
CAO’s Recommendation
The Department of Conservation and
Development is continuing to respond to the
growing challenge of providing important
services despite drastically reduced revenues,
and is acting to restructure the scope of its
operations commensurate with the overall
decline in private development activities County-
wide. The department also continuously seeks
to identify areas in its operations that could be
streamlined and restructured for greater cost
effectiveness.
• Land Development Fund
The department’s initial (baseline) operating
budget for the current year, as adopted, included
a net fund cost (contribution) from the Land
Development Fund of $5.1 million to support
departmental operations. Recognizing the
structural imbalance of the current year
spending plan, the Department has made
significant reductions in staff and thereby
reduced the estimated net fund cost to the Land
Development Fund for departmental operations
in FY 2011/12 to $1.2 million. The ‘net fund
cost’ reflects the difference between budgeted
expenditures and budgeted revenues in the
proposed spending plan, since the spending gap
must be closed using existing funds in the Land
Development Fund.
The starting 2011/12 baseline budget of $33.7
million for DCD in the Land Development Fund
(which funds the majority of the department’s
operations) reflected an increase of
approximately $4.7 million from the FY 2010/11
budget of $29 million. Of this amount,
approximately $1.7 million resulted from higher
salary and benefit costs for existing staff, while
the remainder resulted primarily from higher
costs of professional services, including
engineering services to remodel 30 Muir Rd.,
and data processing. This baseline spending
increase was offset by a similar increase in
budgeted revenue to the Land Development
Fund of approximately $4.4 million; of this
amount, almost $2 million results from an
increase of American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funds to fund energy
efficiency retrofits and weatherization programs
for County residents, and $600,000 results from
the expected receipt of a new State Energy
Program grant through the Association of Bay
Area Governments (ABAG) for these programs.
With projected revenues and expenditures for
FY 2011/12 increasing from the current year in
similar amounts, a structural imbalance of
approximately $5 million persisted in the
baseline budget.
DCD has made spending reductions totaling
$3,856,451 below the baseline amount for
2011/12, in order to reduce its reliance on the
Land Development Fund to close the structural
gap between its budgeted revenues and
expenditures. In summary, the department has
proposed to eliminate a total of 31 full-time
equivalent (FTE) positions in this fund for
estimated salary and benefit savings totaling
$3.7 million in FY 2011/12.
The proposed staffing reductions for FY 2011/12
are in addition to 18 positions which were
deleted in the current 2010/11 fiscal year. DCD
reports that it is going through the painful
exercise of reorganizing and streamlining to
respond to the economic downturn, and that the
additional reductions for FY 2011/12 are
expected to be the final step in downsizing to
achieve a more sustainable organizational
structure. DCD will continue to monitor its costs
closely in services and supplies and other
charges, to identify ways to realize additional
savings.
The recommended Land Development operating
budget for FY 2011/12 continues to reflect an
operating shortfall in the amount of $1,223,532
for FY 2011/12 which may require
supplementation from the Land Development
Fund. DCD will continue to work proactively to
close the budget shortfall.
• General Fund
The department administers several programs
which operate in the General Fund, including
Keller Canyon Mitigation, Housing
Rehabilitation, and a variety of Federal grant
programs.
Conservation and Development
General Government
C1-54 Contra Costa County FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
For those DCD programs budgeted in the
County General Fund, the baseline budget for
FY 2011-12 decreased to $14 million from $22.6
million in FY 2010/11, a decline of $8.6 million or
38 percent. Expenditure reductions totaled
more than $8.1 million, including a decline of
more than $6.1 million allocated for contractual
services related to Federal housing programs,
while baseline adjustments accounted for
additional savings of $537,924.
These dramatic spending reductions were
necessitated primarily by reductions in the
County’s revenue allocation of Federal grant
funds which totaled approximately $8.2 million.
These reductions in anticipated Federal
revenues included $3.1 million less for the
HOME program, $1.6 million less for the Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
Program, $2.5 million less for the HUD Block
Grant program, and more than $800,000 less for
the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-
Housing Program.
The FY 2011/12 recommended budget for the
Keller Canyon Mitigation program assumes
revenue of $1.25 million and appropriates $1.0
million for expenditures. This results in a
$250,000, or 20 percent, contingency reserve to
insure stability in program funding throughout FY
2011/12 and in future years.
The recommended budget also includes
additional savings estimated at $216,000
annually from the FY 12 baseline figure, as a
result of the deletion of two positions in the
Housing Rehabilitation Program. This reduction
is necessitated by the lack of available revenues
to support the program. Total staffing in this
program will decrease from 5 to 3 positions.

CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost decreased by
$2,516,296 from fiscal year 2010-11. The
decrease reflects the elimination of $2,456,296
restricted prior year fund balance for Community
Access TV and a reduction of $60,000 from the
County Administrator’s Office resulting from
increased revenue and a reduction in general
operating expenses. One employee will be on
load to the Department of Conservation and
Development in fiscal year 2011-12 for a project
and will be charged to the Land Development
Fund as reflected in the increased revenue
estimates.

County Counsel
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C1-65
CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline salary and benefit costs for FY 2011-
2012 increased by $275,859 over FY 2010-2011
due to increased costs in compensation as a
result of expiring furlough days. Since County
Counsel charges out their services, the
increased compensation costs will be charged to
County Departments. Other operational
expenses increased by $8,791. The anticipated
level of transfers increased by $264,820 and
revenue increased by $11,414. The net result
was an increase in the baseline net County cost
of $8,416. County Counsel will absorb this
increase through operational efficiencies.
Performance Measurement
• The position of Chief Assistant County
Counsel was eliminated. The General Law
Division has been divided into two units: the
General County Government Unit and the
Business Transactions and Litigation Unit,
each separately supervised. Supervision of
the attorneys in the Civil Litigation Division is
also split between two advanced level
attorneys. This realignment provides more
opportunities for hands-on supervision and
mentoring of junior attorneys, and more
opportunities for senior attorneys to gain
supervisory experience.
• In 2010, 85% of new Risk Management
cases were referred to the County Counsel’s
Office. Only 15% were referred to outside
legal counsel. We are working with the
Department of Conservation and
Development to transfer to County Counsel
legal work that historically was referred to
outside legal counsel, as part of that
department’s goal of lowering costs and
legal risk.
• County Counsel and Risk Management
provided a training class to County
employees on contracts, indemnity and
insurance in October 2010. We also
developed new online contract forms and
provided them to the County Administrator’s
Office at the end of calendar year 2010. As
soon as those contracts are placed on the
County’s intranet website, training on the
use of the forms will begin.
• The department applied for venture capital
funding to be used to replace aging
technologies. As a result of the economic
challenges the county is experiencing the
funding program was withdrawn. Extended
warranties were renewed on critical
technological components. We intend to
replace the servers, computers and data
storage devices as budget savings allow.
Administrative and Program Goals
• With a smaller County work force and the
departure of many experienced employees,
training of County staff will continue to be a
high priority, with particular emphasis on
Public Records Act, sexual harassment,
and contracting.
● FY 2011/2012 presents a number of unique
legal challenges including the
implementation of the County’s automated
timekeeping project and the decennial
redistricting of supervisorial boundaries.
Our goal is to help facilitate smooth
transitions in these unique situations.
• The State budget crisis is likely to result in
further reductions in the Children and
Family Services Division and changes in
how the courts handle juvenile dependency
cases. Our challenge will be to evaluate
how to provide legally mandated juvenile
dependency services efficiently and
effectively in the Superior Court and to a
client that has less administrative staff and
fewer social workers to assist.

Description: To budget appropriations

Rodeo facility, for both capital and program
uses.
CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline budget reflects a net decrease of
$7,425 from fiscal year 2010-11. The reduction
reflects the removal of fund balance rebudgeted
from fiscal year 2009-10. Prior year trends are
used to predict assessed valuation in the coming
year. The actual return-to-source shares are
determined each year in the Fall.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Recommended Budget does not include the
currently proposed fund transfer to the West
Contra Costa Healthcare District. In the
Retirement UAAL Bond fund, appropriations
were increased to cover the FY 2011-12 debt
service (pension obligation bonds), which are
budgeted in each department as a
compensation expense. Transfers for the
Retirement Litigation Settlement Debt Service
are also budgeted in each department as a
compensation expense. We do not anticipate
issuing Tax Revenue Anticipation Notes
(TRANs) in FY 2011-12. As of the printing of
this document, a new agreement with the West
Contra Costa Healthcare District has not been
reached.

CAO Recommendation
The Department of Information Technology
baseline budget decreases total expenditures by
$143,390. This decrease is attributed primarily
to an anticipated reduction in various lease-
purchase expenses, reduction in radio
equipment expenses and elimination of the
department’s office furniture budget.
User fee rates charged to departments and
other clients have been updated to match
anticipated expenditures for fiscal year 2011/12.
The Recommended Budget contemplates a
general fund net county cost of $97,662
generated by the department. This figure reflects
the department’s share of annual debt service
for the countywide digital microwave system.
The County Administrator has accepted the
department’s baseline budget submission as the
recommendation for fiscal year 2011/12.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline Budget reflects a net decrease of
$3,180,419. The net decrease reflects the
elimination of prior year fund balance totaling
$3,543,783 as well as increased appropriations
of $363,364 that were added for the upcoming
payroll timekeeping upgrade and to fund the
anticipated costs of retiree health in fiscal year
2011-12.
The recommended budget reflects sufficient
funding in order to maintain the County payroll
and benefits system as well as funding for
retiree health benefits for Court employees and
other retirees that cannot be attributed, and
therefore charged, to current departments.

CAO’s Recommendation
The County Administrator’s Office is projecting
relatively flat revenues for FY 2011-12
compared to FY 2010-11. The reason the
revenues appear higher in the Baseline and
Recommended columns than the 2010-11
Budget column is because a 5% assessed
valuation decrease was projected for FY 2010-
11. The actual experience was a loss in
assessed value of ‘only’ 3.38%.
In the past, the Recommended Budget for
General Fund departments relied on significant
increases in General Purpose Revenue to offset
increases in the cost of doing business.
Normally, the most significant increases in
revenue from year-to-year are due to increased
assessed valuation on current secured property
tax. The current economic downturn has
eliminated growth in assessed valuation,
significantly reduced interest rates, and greatly
impacted Supplemental Property Tax revenues.

CAO’s Recommendation
The recommended budget for the General
Services Department meets the Net County
Cost (NCC) target of $11,745,276. This is
accomplished by proposing $556,028 in
reductions across several divisions within the
department.
The General Property budget will be reduced by
$426,440. Since 78.1% of all General Services
net county cost come from fixed expenses such
as utilities, debt service, and property insurance,
the majority of reductions must come from
reduced maintenance hours.
The Purchasing Division’s budget will be
reduced by $129,588. This cost savings is
generated by the elimination of one vacant
Buyer II position. This will result in workload
being redistributed to the remaining buyers and
work may take longer to complete. The
department is in the process of purchasing an E-
Procurement System, which will upgrade the
current Purchasing Order System to improve the
efficiency of the procurement process for all
departments.
The department has also proposed elimination
of one Network Administrator position. The
position is currently vacant and the department
does not intend to fill the position since DoIT has
been providing IT support services for the past
year.
The department continues to respond to the
growing challenges by proactively identifying
areas in its operations that can be modified,
streamlined, and/or restructured for better
service and cost efficiency. Further reductions
to the Department may require additional
staffing and service reductions, which will further
impact the departments ability to provide
appropriate internal support services to
customer departments.

CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost reflects a $16,710
increase from the fiscal year 2010-2011 budget.
Salary and benefit costs for Human Resources
increased by $348,783 due primarily to expiring
furlough days and increased pension costs;
services and supplies decreased by $469,420 to
eliminate restricted prior year fund balance for
Child Care and Employee Benefits; and cost
plan revenues dropped by $137,347.
The County Administrator is recommending a
net reduction of $558,072 in fiscal year 2011-
2012. The reduction will require the elimination
of funding for five positions: two positions in
Labor Relations and three in the Personnel
Services Unit.
The elimination of funding for these positions
would increase the workload of existing
employees and reduce the effectiveness of the
department.
If a 6% wage reduction is implemented as of
July, 2011, the Department will be able to
restore funding for two positions in the
Personnel Services Unit under #2 of the
Program Reduction List.
Performance Measurement

following critical positions:
o Public Defender
o Fire Chief
o County Probation Officer

CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline budgeted revenues are decreased
primarily due to the proposed reduction of
$377,636 in State funding to libraries and the
conclusion of a three year federal grant.
The Library’s Recommended Budget for
Services and Supplies reflects a decrease of
$594,766 from baseline budget. This decrease
is due to reduced spending on library materials
and on-line databases.

General Government
C1-104 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
• Annual Hours Open:
The Library’s annual hours open have
decreased from 51,555 in FY 2004-05 to
50,953 in FY 2009-10, due to reduced extra
open hours funded by cities.
• On November 2, 2010, the Board of
Supervisors accepted and approved the
"Library Facility Ownership and
Responsibility Status Report" as well as the
form of the Library Lease and Service
Agreement which will be used by the County
and the cities for the County's use of library
facilities. The City of Martinez adopted the
lease and service agreement as did the City
of Antioch on behalf of the new Prewett
Gateway Library for Learning. Remaining
cities are in various stages of review; the
Public Managers Council continues its
support of the lease agreement.
• With the addition of new libraries in Walnut
Creek and Antioch, the Library responded to
the needs of thousands of residents by
providing customized library services in
modern, state-of-the-art library facilities.
Modeled as an express library, the Prewett
Gateway Library for Learning provides
materials, computers, and daily delivery
services of over 1.4 million holdings to the
fastest growing community in Contra Costa
County. Walnut Creek, with its
environmentally designed features, offers
accessibility services for persons with
disabilities, a floor plan that allows for
flexible service delivery and staffing, and is
the community’s technology hub providing
approximately 100 public computer
workstations.
• The Martinez Library continues to offer
services for the residents at a temporary site
during its temporary closure for remodeling.
The remodeled library is scheduled to open
in May 2011, with sky lights, an expanded
floor plan, and new self-service and
accessibility features.
• Developed a mobile platform (Snap&Go) to
provide library service via mobile devices
and through the use of Quick Response
(QR) codes to embed reading
recommendations directly onto library
materials. Snap&Go program extends library
service beyond library buildings, providing
access to eBooks and other downloadable
media directly to a smart phone. QR codes
are displayed prominently through WestCat
and Tri-Delta bus systems, allowing
commuters immediate access to library
digital content.
• Awarded First 5 grants to improve early
literacy collections and programs for children
ages 0-5 in seven community libraries.
• The U.S. Government Printing Office
featured the Contra Costa County Library for
its efforts in making government information
available from multiple access points,
including the library’s public catalog.
• Launched Live Chat customer service from
the County’s web site, providing citizens with
access to questions about Contra Costa
County departments and services.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Complete the transfer of ownership and
fiscal responsibility for facilities to the cities
by June 30, 2012. This contributes to the
county’s goal of fiscal health.
▪ Property and facility management
functions and costs (approximately
$1.1 million) transferred to the cities
by June 2012.
▪ Complete negotiation with all cities
and approval of new agreements by
June 30, 2012.
▪ Continue process to transfer
ownership of the downtown Antioch,
Ygnacio Valley, and Pinole libraries
by December 2011.
• Evaluate the Live Chat pilot project to offer
e-government information to Contra Costa
County web site users.
• Implement $45,000 grant to create
Discover&Go, an online program that
Library
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C1-105
distributes free passes from Bay Area
museums and other cultural organizations to
county residents. This meets the county’s
goal to leverage information technology to
improve public service delivery efficiently
and effectively.
• Complete a renovation project and
expansion of the Pittsburg Library in FY 11-
12.
• Install a fourth Library-a-Go-Go machine in

overhead expenses for the department,

Baseline Budget: Salary and benefit estimates
decreased from the current year by
approximately $1,174,000. The decrease is due
to staff turnover resulting in newer employees
being hired at a lower level.
Impact: Staffing levels remain unchanged. The
decrease in costs resulted in a decrease in
charge-outs to operating divisions and lower
overhead recoveries.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Public Works’ general fund baseline budget,
which includes budget units 0650 (Public Works
Operations), 0661 (Road Construction) and
0330 (County Drainage), decreased by
$6,754,691 from fiscal year 2010-11. This is
mainly due to the removal of acquisition costs
and reimbursements for the State Route 4
Widening – Sommersville project. The Contra
Costa Transportation Authority will finance the
acquisition directly and Road Construction will
not need to be reimbursed as had been
anticipated for the current year. Beyond that,
baseline operations are anticipated to remain at
the same level for fiscal year 2011-12.
The Road Fund Budget (fund 110800)
decreased by $5,540,479 due to the fact that the
capital projects funded by federal ARRA funds
and Caltrans are expected to be completed in
the current year.
The Land Development Fund (fund 110300),
which supports engineering functions, largely
remained at the same level for fiscal year 2011-
12. Fund balance is not included in the budget
Public Works
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C1-119
as it is the practice of the County not to budget
fund balance until fiscal year end when the
balance is known.
The Airport Enterprise fund (fund 140100),
which supports airport operations and capital
development at the Buchanan and Byron
Airports, increased by $2,415,066. The increase
reflects anticipated revenue from a Federal
Aviation Administration grant that will be used to
repave a runway in fiscal year 2011-12.
Performance Measurements
• Partnered with the City of Pinole to
implement the Pinole Creek Restoration
project, part of the community’s Greenway
Master Plan.
• Delivered a $22.8 million capital
improvement program that included the
completion of two significant projects; the
Iron Horse Overcrossing of Treat Boulevard
and the Bethel Island Bridge. The Bethel
Island Bridge was recognized by the
Northern California Chapter of the American
Public Works Association.
• Continued to work with FEMA and provided
public outreach on FEMA’s levee
certification, floodplain mapping updates and
floodplain management in the North
Richmond community.
• Implemented Proposition 1B projects.
Pursued legislative changes to the
Proposition 1B guidelines that would extend
the time under the use-it-or-lose-it provision
beyond the current 3 year limit for
implementing safety projects.
• Continued managing the Transportation
Grant Program, with the goal of receiving a
minimum of $4 for every $1 of staff time
preparing grant applications. So far in fiscal
year 2010/11 this goal has been exceeded.
To date $20 for every $1 of staff time has
been received, generating approximately
$2.65 million in additional funding for the
Transportation Program.
• The Department’s customer service request
system and proactive approach to road
safety audits have brought a positive
downward trend in total vehicle accidents in
the county. In the last four years, we
continue to see a downward trend in the
number of accidents.
• County roads currently meet the targets for
pavement condition. The Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) is based on a routine
cyclical system. The average PCI of the total
network is 75 which indicates a good
system.
• The County met the targets established in
the General Plan for Level of Service related
to travel time along its major arterials.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Customer Service: Continue to work with the
Department of Conservation and
Development to improve customer service
and provide seamless services to residents.
• Financial: The Department relies on
dedicated restricted funds, developer fees,
fees for service and grants for our programs
and projects. We continue to work to protect
the various funds for their specified use and
continue to provide quality service despite
increased costs not matched by additional
revenues. Will work with and support the
efforts of the Contra Costa Clean Water
Program to develop a report on various
mechanisms to increase funding to
implement the Municipal Regional Permit,
including a possible 218 election.
• Safety: Safety is critical for both County
employees and for the public. Continue to
work on proactive risk assessment
quantifying safety of our activities and
measure effectiveness of safety initiatives.
Work with schools, cities and other
interested parties to develop a public
awareness and outreach program on the
hazards of our flood control channels during
high storm flows.
Public Works
General Government
C1-120 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
• Organizational Health: Continue to identify
operational and training needs and provide
in-house training for staff.
• Environment: Continue to evaluate how to
embrace and incorporate new regulations
that implement public policy in a cost
effective and efficient way.
• Continue Department reorganizational
efforts in response to on-going budgetary
issues at the state and local level and
continued slow development activity.
• Continue to work with the Regional Water
Quality Control Board, cities and other
impacted departments to implement and
fund the Regional Water Quality Control
Board’s Municipal Regional Permit.
• Continue to implement Proposition 1B
projects. The projects identified under this
proposition are safety related projects and
their completion will improve safety on the
County road network.
• Identify and aggressively pursue funding
sources for the Vasco Road Safety
Improvement Project, including Proposition
1B funds, federal funds, developer fees, and
the Economic Stimulus Package. The
estimated cost of the total project is
approximately $31 million. Phase 1 of this
project construction has started and is
scheduled to be completed in Fall 2011
using ARRA, federal earmark, Measure J,
and Proposition 1B funds. Funding for
Phase 2 is yet to be identified and will be
pursued aggressively.
• Continue to support the Department of
Conservation and Development in
monitoring and advocacy for County
interests in the Delta.
• Continue to work with the Department of
Conservation and Development and CSAC
to expand the use of traffic mitigation impact
fees to include pedestrian, bicycle, and
transit improvements.
• Continue to work through Project Integration
Team for Community Health (PITCH) to
partner with the Fire Districts to identify
opportunities to revise current street
standards to better reflect the Board’s policy
on Complete Streets.
• Continue to pursue reasonable modifications
to the Corps of Engineers vegetation policy
to prevent the expensive removal of trees
and vegetation in flood control levees,
especially in North Richmond.
• Continue to coordinate with the Department
of Conservation and Development to
improve customer service and provide
seamless services to residents.
• Work to combine the General Services and
Public Works departments into one
department. The two departments are
working on a transition plan for a merger
pending approval by the Board of
Supervisors.
• Work to clearly identify funding deficiencies
in our special districts and identify
alternatives to meet the level of service for
these districts. Modify level of service
expectations for these underfunded districts.

Treasurer – Tax Collector
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C1-123
CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost represents a
$448,520 increase over the 2010/11 Adjusted
Budget. Included in this figure are the following:
increased salary and benefit costs from expiring
furlough days and increased pension expenses
($87,667); increases in operational expenses
such as printing costs, postage and equipment
maintenance ($90,031); and declining revenue
from investments and property tax
administration fees ($270,822)
The recommended budget includes eliminating
funding for one Business Systems Manager
position and for temporary salaries. The net
savings of this action will be $169,839.
Additionally, the Treasurer-Tax Collector will
absorb an additional $32,153 in services and
supplies.
Finally the Department will be able to meet the
recommended budget target as result of
negotiating a Service Level Agreement reduction
with the Department of Information Technology.
Savings are projected to be approximately
$110,000.
The net reduction over the baseline budget is
$311,992
Performance Measurement
• Initiate On-line Reporting of Deposit (EROD)
system whereby departments file deposit
permits electronically from their office
instead of intra-office mail or in person at the
Cashier’s office.
The EROD system has been fully implemented
resulting in significant time and resource
savings.
• Continue to improve the efficiencies in
taxpayer service through enhanced
automation with the latest technological
advancements in electronic payment
processing services
In FY 10/11 the Treasurer’s Office began
implementing an electronic cashiering system.
In addition to saving staff time and resources,
this new system provided residents of Contra
Costa County with new way of paying their
taxes; most notably by e-check.
Administrative and Program Goals
1. Carry out the mission of the Treasurer-Tax
Collector, which is to bill, collect, invest,
borrow, safeguard, and disburse monies and
properties.
2. Improve efficiencies in taxpayer service and
treasury operations through on-going
personnel training and optimum use of
technology.
3. Explore new and creative ways to serve the
public’s needs through customer feedback
and by networking with vendors and public &
private operations similar to our own.
4. Continue to explore options for replacing the
existing 30-year old tax system with a more
efficient and cost-effective one that will allow
more autonomy and cost savings.

Child Support Services
Health and Human Services
C2-4 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
Description: The Child Support Enforcement
Program was authorized under Title IV-D of the
Social Security Act to provide services assisting
parents to meet their mutual obligation to support
their children.
Baseline Budget: FY 2011-12 Baseline
expenditures increased by $325,764 primarily
through increases in salaries & benefits. These
expense increases were offset, in part, by saving
in overhead expenses, expenditure transfers and
other charges. Revenue remains unchanged.
The result is a baseline projected net Child
Support Fund cost of $1,614,447.
The FY 2011-12 Child Support Services
Recommended Budget incorporates $251,118 in
salaries and benefits savings and $1,363,329 in
operational expense savings, including
reductions in memberships, software, employee
travel and other non-reoccurring departmental
expenses.
Impact: The Department is able to
accommodate reductions in personnel and
operational expenses without substantial impact
on program services. Consequently, the FY
2011-12 Recommended Budget for Child
Support Services is balanced while maintaining
service levels.
Child Support Services:
No-cost services to Contra Costa County
residents with physical custody of a minor
include:
- Locating non-custodial parents
- Establishing court orders for paternity, child,
and medical support
- Enforcing court orders for child, family, and
medical support
- Collecting and distributing support payments
- Maintaining accounts of payments paid and
payment due
- Modifying court orders when appropriate
Operations are controlled by the regulations of
the State Department of Child Support Services.

CAO Recommendation
The Department of Child Support Services
(DCSS) has operated efficiently and effectively
within current fiscal constraints. DCSS does not
expect an increase in revenue this year. The
DCSS anticipates it will save $1.6 million through
anticipated salary saving and a reduction in
discretionary operating expenses.
The CAO recommends approval of the DCSS
budget.
Performance Measures
Federal Performance Measure:
The effectiveness of the Department of Child
Support Services (DCSS) is evaluated by
measures in four critical areas:
1. Child Support Orders:
• Status of FY 10-11 Goals: Achieved 88.5%
of cases with a child support order.
DCSS is very effective in gathering and
organizing the necessary documents to
acquire child support court orders compared
to the State average. DCSS acquires a court
order on close to 90% of referred cases.
DCSS has continued to maintain this high
success rate.
Child Support Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C2-5
2. Child Support Collections:
• Status of FY 10-11 Goals: Achieved 58.1%
of cases with support collected.
DCSS collects and distributes over half the
money that is currently owed to custodial
parents in Contra Costa County. The
department has consistently outperformed
statewide averages.
3. Arrears Collections:
Status of FY 10-11 Goals: Achieved 64.0% of
cases with arrearage collections.
DCSS is effectively engaging non-custodial
parents with delinquent accounts to make child
support payments. The statewide average of
non-custodial parents’ participation has reached
only a maximum of 60%. DCSS has consistently
maintained participation above 60% during that
same time period.
4. Operational Cost-effectiveness:
Status of FY 10-11 Goals: Achieved $3.17 in
cost effectiveness.
The cost effectiveness of a program may be
measured by how much money is collected for
each dollar spent on Child support operations. In
FFY 2010 the California State average $2.25
collected for each dollar expended. Contra Costa
DCSS is over 40% more effective than the State
average with $3.17 for each dollar expended.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Achieve Federal Performance Measure
levels established by the State Department
of Child Support Services by:
o establishing paternity,
o increasing the number of cases with
established child support orders,
o increasing collections on current
child support,
o increasing collection on with arrear,
and
o improving cost effectiveness.
• Achieve California State performance
Goals. California Department of Child
Child Support Services
Health and Human Services
C2-6 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
Support Services has a performance goal for
all local offices:
o increase collections by 3% and
achieve at least $2.25 in cost,
effectiveness for fiscal year 10/11;
o increase the percentage of current
support collected to 59.1%;
o increase percentage of cases with
arrearages collection to 65.0%; and
o maintain the percentage of cases
with child support orders to 88.5% in
federal fiscal year 10/11.

Major Department Responsibilities
The Employment and Human Services
Department, in partnership with the community,
provides services that support and protect
families, individuals, and children in need, and
promotes personal responsibility, independence,
and self-sufficiency.
Employment and Human Services is the second
largest Department in Contra Costa County. It
brings together under a single administrative
umbrella: Aging and Adult Services, Children
and Family Services, Community Services,
Workforce Services, Workforce Development
Board, and Zero Tolerance.
The Department provides more than 60
programs which serve over 100,000 citizens in
need of basic protection or support services
each year. The majority of the services the
Department provides are to children and
families; the elderly; persons with certain
disabilities; those who are eligible for financial,
medical, or food assistance; and to persons who
are attempting to enter or move up in the
workforce.
The Department offers its programs at over 39
locations throughout the county. Approximately
92% of the Department’s General Fund
program’s funding comes from federal and state
sources but federal and state laws require a
county share of cost for most Department
programs.
The Department is constantly seeking new ways
to improve the coordination of services to those
it helps and to maximize non-county fund
sources.

Special Note to the Reader
Federal and State revenues finance over 90% of
the Employment and Human Services
Department (EHSD) programs. These revenues
come to the County as program-specific
allocations from the State, which are determined
by the State Legislature in adoption of the State
Budget. Because EHSD does not currently have
the allocations for FY 2011-12, the Department
has included revenue based on the Proposed
State Budget, approved trailer bills and historical
allocation information. Given the need to
analyze the impact of changes in the FY 2011-
12 State budget the Department has used the
best information currently available to project its
revenue. Should the funding change, the
Department will revise the budget and identify
appropriate service increases or reductions.

homes and avoid institutionalization.
The FY 2010-11 State budget included
continued reforms from the previous year to
strengthen the detection, prevention and
reduction of fraud in the IHSS Program. AB 4
and AB 19 mandate reform efforts including
provider orientations, criminal background
investigations, and District Attorney
investigations. Additional funding was included
in the FY 2010-11 to fund two Social Workers,

one Data Clerk and requires $ 51,759 in
matching funds.
The IHSS program has been impacted in FY
2010-11 by the 3.6% across the board
reductions in service hours for all IHSS
recipients starting February 1, 2011. If approved
by the State legislature additional reductions of
8.4% would go into effect July 2011. The
elimination of domestic and related services for
children under 18 years old living at home and
adults living with another person have been
proposed and would also be implemented on
July 2011. The total impact for these proposed
changes for FY 2011-2012 is uncertain.

4. Child Welfare Services
Description: Children's Services staff works
with families to ensure the safety of children and
to assist families and children in reaching their
full potential. When children cannot be cared for
by their families due to safety issues, they are
placed with families that are able to make a
lifelong commitment. The Department works in
collaboration with the community toward healthy
independence for families and their children.
Services cover an array of activities that include
receiving child abuse referrals, investigating
child abuse allegations, petitioning the Juvenile
Court in dependency matters, providing in-home
and out-of-home services to ameliorate abuse
and neglect issues, and facilitate adoption
services. The department serves approximately
2,200 children per year.
Child Welfare Services has changed with the
addition of the Child Welfare Redesign program.
Child Welfare Redesign changed the way
services are delivered, switching the focus from
the process to the outcome for children. Goals
include: increasing community capacity to
provide a safe environment free from
abuse/neglect for children; increasing the
capacity of families to provide a safe and
nurturing environment for children; increasing
successful permanency outcomes for children in
the Child Welfare System; and increasing
placement resources for children in out-of-home
care.
Various contracts with community providers
support the work toward these goals. Emphasis
is on sustaining and expanding innovative
service delivery models including Team Decision
Making and Differential Response. Both models
provide a customized response to reports of
abuse and neglect. These services help build
community capacity to provide prevention and
early intervention services to families outside of
the Child Welfare System.
a. Emergency Response - Children's
Services Emergency Response provides 24-
hour, 365 days per year response to
allegations of child abuse and neglect. A
person may report abuse and neglect to a
centralized screening unit. Social workers
determine the course of action to protect the
child.
b. Family Maintenance - Family maintenance
services are arranged for and provided by
Children's Services staff in order to maintain
children in their own homes. The social
workers are actively involved in working with
families to address the issues that brought
them into the Child Welfare system. An
average of 300 children are provided with
family maintenance services each month.
c. Family Reunification - When a child is
removed from the parent's care due to
abuse or neglect, services are provided to
remedy the conditions that led to the
removal. A reunification plan is developed
to resolve those issues.
d. Permanency Planning - Planning services
assist children in establishing a permanent
family. The law requires permanency with a
relative caregiver, adoption or guardianship
be established to help children if they are
not able to return to the care of their
biological family. In calendar year 2010,
there were approximately 500 children who
were in out-of-home care at some point
during the year – who received permanency
planning services.

Description: The Workforce Development
Board (WDB), in partnership with business,
education, community-based organizations,
labor and governmental agencies, administers
a comprehensive workforce development
system that provides adults, youth, and
businesses with high quality labor market
Employment and Human Services
Health and Human Services
C2-30 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
information, training, employment, and other
associated services to support economic
vitality in the County.
Baseline Budget: The Baseline Budget reflects
a reduction of approximately $2.6 million in
expenditures over FY 2010-11 due to the loss of
funding from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Impact: The loss of ARRA funds will
significantly reduce the number of people that
the local public workforce system is able to
serve, both through the EASTBAY Works One-
Stop Career Centers and contracts with
community-based organizations. The
standalone Summer Youth Employment
Program, which served more than 570 people in
2010-2011, may not continue in FY 2011-2012.
Other services that assist businesses and job
seekers of all ages, may also be scaled back
substantially.
1. Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
Employment & Training
Description: The Workforce Investment Act
(WIA) of 1998 provides programs and
services to help job seekers to become
reemployed and provides assistance to help
support business development. The
emphasis of the Workforce Investment Act is
the close integration and coordination of
various federal workforce development
programs. Programs overseen by the WDB
serve more than 20,000 individuals and 1,000
businesses annually. Pursuant to specific
mandates within the WIA, the WDB
administers and coordinates the following:
a. Adult Program - Through One-Stop Career
Centers, this program provides core
employment services including job search
and placement assistance, career
counseling and initial assessment of skills.
Core services are available with no eligibility
requirement. Intensive services such as
comprehensive assessments, group and
individual career counseling, and supportive
services are provided to long-term
unemployed workers who are unable to
obtain employment by solely utilizing core
services. Participants unable to obtain
employment after receiving core and
intensive services may receive training
services. Employed individuals who have
not attained economic self-sufficiency may
also receive services, including training.
Training services include basic skills, career
technical education, on-the-job training, and
other training programs that combine work-
based learning with related instructional
activities and services.
b. Dislocated Worker Program - Provides
the same services as the Adult Program
except that Dislocated Worker funding may
only be used for recently unemployed
participants identified as eligible
“dislocated workers” as defined in Federal
and State regulations. Rapid Response
funding augments this program by
providing outplacement services to
individuals being displaced from
employment due to a layoff or business
closure.
c. Youth Program - Provides employment
services to very low income in and out-of-
school youth facing barriers to employment.
Services include paid and unpaid work
experience, occupational skills training,
tutoring, study skills training, alternative
secondary school services, mentoring and
comprehensive guidance and counseling.
As part of the consolidation of youth
programs, WIA eliminated a stand-alone
summer youth employment component
(except during the period supported by
ARRA) in favor of a year-round program
serving a smaller number of participants.
d. Senior Community Service Employment
Program - Provides employment services to
very low income individuals age 55 and
older including paid and unpaid work
experience, vocational pre-employment
training, career counseling and skills
assessments as well as job placement. This
program is funded through the federal Older
Americans Act (OAA) or Title V.
e. Grant-Funded Programs – The WDB
administers several grant-funded programs
Employment and Human Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C2-31
of varying duration and scope. Grant funds
retained are often WIA funds obtained
through competitive processes, but may
include other sources as well.

Description: The Childcare Enterprise is a pilot
program was approved by the Board of
Supervisors on September 18, 2007. This
tuition-based program offers child day care at
below market rates to families who cannot
otherwise afford the cost of childcare in order to
stay in the workforce and remain self-sufficient.
Childcare Enterprise Fund services are
integrated throughout classrooms at several of
the centers throughout the county. The number
of tuition-based slots in each classroom
depends upon the number of over-income
families that demonstrate the need for affordable
childcare in each of those areas. These tuition-
based slots are commingled with Head Start and
State Child Development slots.

Description: Supports three of Contra Costa’s
community outcomes: “Children and Youth
Healthy and Preparing for Productive
Adulthood”, “Families that are Safe, Stable and
Nurturing” and “Communities that are Safe and
provide a High Quality of Life” through
coordinated services designed to reduce
domestic and family violence and elder abuse.
Baseline Budget: The Baseline Budget is the
same as in the FY 2010-11 budget. This budget
does not include an anticipated growth in the
cost of doing business of $102,000.
Impact: The Recommended Budget for FY
2011-12 maintains general fund reduction at FY
2010-11 levels. This represents a $102,000 gap
in costs to continue services at current levels.
This level of funding may result in reductions in
crisis services for victims of domestic violence
and sexual assault and level of supervision of
offenders.

CAO Recommendation
The Employment and Human Services
Department (EHSD) has overcome many
challenges in order to operate within the current
fiscal constraints. General Assistance (GA)
caseload and the staff needed to support
increased intake and case management has
risen dramatically. The County share to support
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is also
increasing. Consequently, there is less County
money available for other expenses.
Many State & Federal contracts require the
county pay for a portion of the services in order
to receive State/Federal reimbursements. Less
County money available to leverage
State/Federal reimbursement will result in a
reduction of $8.3 million from Federal/ State
sources. This is slightly mitigated by a $485
thousand increase in local funding. This results
in a $7.8 million net reduction of non-county
revenue from FY 10-11.
The department has adjusted to this reduced
revenue by eliminating or delay hiring critical
administrative and program positions;
consolidating programs (SIT & One Stop
Centers); and transferring the Welcome Home
Baby program to the First 5 Commission.
The CAO recommends approval of the EHSD
budget.
General Assistance
General Assistance (GA) expenses have risen
dramatically. This is partially accounted for by
the increase in GA Caseloads. Monthly average
GA caseloads in FY 2005-06 were 386. Monthly
average caseloads for FY 2011-12 are projected
to be 1521. This represents a 294% caseload
increase.
In addition, a mediated settlement agreement
under “Lugo v. Contra Costa County“ required
significant staff increases in order to expedite
the processing of GA applications. In FY 2005-
06 the GA program was supported by an
average of 17.5 FTE. EHSD estimates that 27
FTE will be need to support the GA program in
FY 2011-12 in order to comply with the
settlement agreement. This represents a 54.3%
staff increase.
The cost of the GA program, assistance
payments and staff support, has increased from
$5.1M in FY 2005-06 to a project $10.1M in FY
2011-12. This represents a 100% increase in
mandatory program costs. The GA program is
supported completely with county funding. The
projected GA program expenses accounts for
56.0% of EHSD’s net County costs.
Leveraging State & Federal Revenue
EHSD has contracts with State & Federal
agencies to provide services. Some of these
contracts involve the full reimbursement of
incurred expenses. Others require the County to
share a portion of the expenses. The State/
Federal agency authorizes expenses up to a
total annual reimbursable allocation.
The County has not been able to claim the full
available allocation because of limited
availability of County matching funds. In FY
2009-10 the County was unable to claims $2.4
Employment and Human Services
Health and Human Services
C2-48 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
million; in FY 2010-11 an estimated $1.4 million
will not be claimed. The Department estimates
over $5 million will not be claimed in FY 2011-
12.
Cost of Doing Business (CODB)
State legislation requires counties to administer
human services programs, including Foster
Care, Child Welfare Services, Cal WORKs,
Adoptions and Adult Protective Services. The
State has frozen funding for these services at
2001 cost levels. Each year the cost of providing
these services rise as caseloads, salaries,
benefits and overhead expenses increase.
Failing to fund actual county expenses for over
ten years has led to a growing funding gap.
The most recent cumulative estimate of
unfunded CODB for Contra Costa County from
FY 2001 thru FY 2012 is $373,009,485 The
CODB gap continues to expand each year. The
FY 2011-12 CODB gap is estimated to be
$49,109,485. This puts the county in the
unsustainable position of backfilling the gap with
limited county resources or cutting services.
Realignment Revenue
In 1991, the State of California transferred the
responsibility for many social service programs
to the counties. The State agreed to transfer a
portion of State-wide sales tax and vehicle
license fees to fund these programs. These
“Realignment Revenues” have decreased
significantly in the past five years. In FY 2005-06
EHSD received $39.1 million in realignment
revenue. EHSD is projected to receive $29.9
million in FY 2011-12. This amounts to a
reduction of 23.5%.
State Financial & Food Assistance
Reimbursement Policy:
It is the State’s policy to reimburse the County
for caseload growth one year in the arrears.
Thus the County receives reimbursement for
additional salaries, benefits, facilities and
overhead expenses a year after incurring the
expense associated with managing increased
caseloads. This results in a significant cash flow
management issue. Total caseloads for
CalWORKs and Food Stamps between FY
2008-09 and FY 2009-10 rose by 14.9% (4,510
case) similarly caseloads between FY 2009-10
and FY 10-11 rose by 25.2% (8,749 case). The
delay in reimbursement encumbers County
revenue resources and limits availability for
other critical activities.
Proposed State Budget Impacts
The California State legislature has not adopted
the FY 2011-12 State budget. Consequently,
current program allocations for FY 2011-12 are
unavailable.
Proposed program reductions in the Governor’s
FY 2011-12 State budget and the Conference
Committee’s deliberations could significantly
impact families receiving social services and the
county programs that provide the services.
Significant actions under consideration include:
• Eliminate Funding to IHSS Advisory
Committees: Eliminated the mandate and for
IHSS Advisory Committees and reduce
funding to $3,000.
• Reduce Cal WORKs Grant by 8%: All 11,310
CalWORKs families and all 19,394 children will
be adversely impacted. This proposal reduces an
average cash aid grant for a family of 3 from
$694 to $638. Reduction in grant size will result
in a $5.6 million reduction in CalWORKs
assistance expenditures. In addition, the
CalWORKs Administrative Allocation will be
reduced by $206,400.
• Reduce a families eligibility for CalWORKS from
60 months to 48 months: A minimum of 1,595
CalWORKS families and 2,996 CalWORKS
children will have their grants reduced and lose
CalWORKS services. The county will lose
approximately $10.5 million in total CalWORKS
assistance expenditures. The CalWORKS
administrative allocation would be reduced by
$2.7 million.
• Reduce Single Allocation and Welfare to Work
exemptions: All 4,825 Welfare-to-Work families
will be adversely impacted as a result of reduced
supportive services. The Department will have
significantly less funds to contract for work
experience services; education, training, and
assessment services; legal record expunging
services; services to help CalLEARN youth
complete their education; Domestic Violence
Prevention Services; and substance abuse and
mental health services. This will increase the
Employment and Human Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C2-49
number of CalWORKS participants who are
unable to overcome barriers to employment. The
additional statewide reduction of $50 million will
result in an additional $1.3 million reduction to
our CalWORKs administrative allocation. These
impacts may be mitigated with inclusion of
Modified Subsidized Employment which will
allow for the possible reinstatement of a
subsidized employment program for CalWORKS
Welfare-to-Work participants.
• Reduce Funding for CalWORKs Substance
Abuse Treatment and Mental Health
Services: Approximately 2.3% of the
CalWORKs participants needing substance
abuse and mental heath treatment will no
longer be able to access these services causing
them to fall further into poverty and preventing
them from moving to self-sufficiency. This could
result in a $100,000 reduction to the
CalWORKs MH/SA allocation.
• Reduce Funding for Cal Learn program: A $45
million reduction statewide in the Cal Learn
program would essentially eliminate this
program impacting approximately 1,000
pregnant and parenting teens that would no
longer be provided assistance in staying in
school and obtaining their high school diploma
or equivalent. As a result, they will lose a key
opportunity to successfully reach self-
sufficiency. Reduction to the CalWORKs
Administrative Allocation of $606,213 of which
$465,000 is contracted services will further
erode services.
• Eliminate Child Care Subsidy Eligibility for 11
and 12 year olds: A maximum of 174 children
(or 21% of the Department’s Child Care
caseload) will lose child care eligibility putting
these children in potentially more risky child
care arrangements and creating continuity of
employment problems for the parents as well
as the potential for job loss. This will result in a
reduction to the CalWORKs Child Care
allocation, which is used to pay for staff and
child care services, in the amount of $800,000.
• Reduce the Title 5 Standard Child Care
Reimbursement Rate by 10%: The 10% cut will
result in $1.3 million funding reduction and the
termination of childcare care services to 140
children currently enrolled in the program.
• Suspend County Share of Child Support
Collections; This suspension will result in an
increased cost to EHSD of approximate
$600,000 in FY 11/12.
• Reduce SSI/SSP Grants: 2,082 SSI/SSP
recipients or 18% of the CalWORKs caseload
will be further negatively impacted and less able
to meet their basic needs becoming more at risk
and falling further into poverty.
• Suspend CODB for 2011-12: Contra Costa will
not receive an additional $700,000 in Medi-Cal
funding to cover our increased Cost of Doing
Business (CODB). EHSD will attempt to serve
an increased number of Medi-Cal
applicants/caseload with less funding.

Child Protective Services
Goal: Reduce the recurrence of maltreatment of
children previously investigated by Child
Protective Services Staff.
Achievements: Children and Family Services
Bureau is currently performing above the state
average and equivalent to the national goal in
this area. For the latest period in which there is
complete data (1/1/2010 and 6/30/2010 children
who were victims of a substantiated
maltreatment allegation) Contra Costa has had
94.5% of these children have no additional
maltreatment in the following six month period.
The national goal is 94.6% and the state
average for this same period is 92.9%.
To achieve the goal the bureau has continued to
support the community partnership with
community based organizations who are able to
provide support services to families at-risk of
abuse/neglect; provided timely investigation and
resource referrals for families; and used
culturally competent engagement strategies to
assist families in building on their strengths and
linking families with community leaders and
resources.
Workforce Services
Goal: By June 30, 2011, secure $1 million in
grant funding to support service expansion and
enhancements to the local workforce system.
Achievements: Nearly 75% of the way through
the budget year, the Workforce Development
Board has secured more than $650,000 in
funding to providing training services to
displaced NUMMI autoworkers and an additional
$190,000 to provide services to low-income, in-
school youth in West County.
Goal: Process and grant all CalWORKS and
General Assistance applications within legal and
regulatory timeframes.
Achievements: Despite budget cutbacks and
staffing reductions, the Bureau was successful
in processing and granting CalWORKS and
General Assistance applications within the legal
and regulatory timeframe of 45 and 30 days
respectively.
Community Services
Goal: Sustain our current Continuing Education
Programs that support 50% of Head Start
teachers’ attainment of an Associate Degree by
October 1, 2011 and 50% with a baccalaureate
or advanced degree by September 30, 2013, as
well as, support additional initiatives that
promote distance learning opportunities and
increase the accessibility to higher education.
Achievements:
• With the support of two Training and
Technical Assistance grants provided by the
Office of Head Start, CSB sustained the
Teacher Degree Program and the
Community Services Degree Program.
Through these programs, over 150 CSB
staff were able to receive free textbooks and
enroll in tuition free college courses required
for a degree in higher education. Benefits of
these programs were also offered to Head
Start partner staff who are also required to
meet the Head Start degree mandate.
• As of December 2010, 75% of CSB teachers
have completed an associate degree or
bachelor degree.
• Fourteen teachers and site supervisors
continue to participate in the Sacramento
State University BA cohort program and are
on track to complete their degrees by May
2012.
• The CSB Lending Library, which consists of
textbooks purchased by CSB and returned
by staff after the semester ends, has grown
to over 300 textbooks. These textbooks are
available for other staff to check-out as
needed for their college courses
assignments and research.
• CSB conducted two sessions of the Annual
Back to College Event in August with sixty-
Employment and Human Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C2-51
seven staff in attendance. This event
provided informational presentations on
CSB continuing education programs,
financial aid, Brandman University, and
other college resources to staff. In addition,
it provided a forum for staff to share any
issues or concerns and share inspiring back
to college experiences.
• CSB successfully established partnerships
with Brandman University, University of
Cincinnati and UC Davis, as well as
continued their partnerships with the three
local community colleges and Sacramento
State University.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Implement changes in the intake business
model to improve and streamline client
access to financial, food, and medical
assistance through the phone and internet.
• Implement an “On-Line Court Reports”
system that will allow attorneys in child
welfare cases to access needed documents
on-line rather than requiring the printing and
copying of hundreds of pages of documents.
• Use the “Lean Management” model to
streamline EHSD personnel processes.
• Develop a volunteer care assessment and
care coordination in-home service delivery
system that is designed to serve all
populations, remains stable in poor
economic conditions and doesn’t increase
the cost to the county.
• Launch a “Spark-Point Center” at the Bay
Point Service Integration Site that creates
cross sector efficiencies to provide
comprehensive economic security services
to families.

decrease in hours the staff is able to provide

result in the increased possibility of funding
penalties and a reduction of State and Federal

Major Department Responsibilities
Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) cares for
and improves the health of all people in Contra
Costa County with special attention to those who
are most vulnerable to health problems.
CCHS has a department-wide commitment to
service excellence and reducing health disparities.
Contra Costa County is one of the few counties in
the country to offer the full spectrum of health-
related services under one organizational structure.
CCHS’ responsibilities cover health at every level:
the individual, the family, and the community.
CCHS works to prevent disease by removing risks
and promoting preventive and health-maintaining
activities. CCHS intervenes quickly and effectively
to contain communicable diseases.
CCHS provides a system of care to meet the
health needs of county residents regardless of their
ability to pay. This system includes primary,
specialty and inpatient medical care, mental health
services, substance abuse treatment, public health
programs, environmental health protection,
hazardous materials response and inspection, and
emergency medical services, as well as a county-
operated health maintenance organization. Contra
Costa Health Plan (CCHP) is a licensed, federally
qualified health plan that credentials and contracts
with needed specialty providers in the community,
provides 24/7 advice nurse services for patients as
well as case management and care coordination
for high-risk patients.
For low-income and uninsured residents of Contra
Costa, CCHS is the safety net, providing medical
services not available to them elsewhere and a
financial structure, the Contra Costa Health Plan,
that promotes appropriate use of services and
funds them efficiently with third-party revenues.
CCHS operates a 166-bed hospital and 10
ambulatory care health centers that provide family
practice and specialty care.
For all residents, CCHS is responsible for
maintaining a healthy environment, through the
Environmental Health and Hazardous Materials
programs, and coordinating the County’s network
of ambulance services.
The Public Health Division’s services include HIV/
AIDS, tuberculosis and communicable disease
testing control and treatment; immunization clinics
for H1N1, seasonal flu, childhood and adult
diseases; healthcare for the homeless; homeless,
transitional and supportive housing programs;
public health nursing; public health laboratory;
senior nutrition program; the Women, Infants and
Children (WIC) program; maternal and child health
promotion; and prevention/education activities
aimed at negative health conditions such as
obesity, smoking and lead poisoning. The Division
is responsible for the CCHS health emergency
preparedness programs and for data collection and
program evaluation.
The Mental Health Division operates separate
systems of care for adults and children through a
network of clinic-based treatment, support and
crisis services, and maintains a broader service
network through contracts with community
providers. Voter-approved mental health services
Act funding is transforming the mental health
system and involving consumers, families and
providers in a range of programs. The new funding
has also launched dozens of prevention and early
intervention programs with a new set of community
partner agencies.
The Alcohol and Other Drugs Division maintains a
continuum of substance abuse services, directly or
through contracts, that includes detoxification,
residential treatment, and outpatient treatment.
CCHS has a long history of working in partnership
with a broad range of stakeholders, including
private hospitals, private physicians, community
clinics, community-based organizations, schools,
advisory boards and the media.
CCHS is using technology, including its extensive
website and social media to reach county residents
with critical health care information on a daily
basis.
The increasing demands caused by disease
outbreaks such as H1N1, the exploding number of
unemployed residents losing their health care and
a decreasing number of physicians available to
provide primary care, CCHS is working diligently to
preserve the safety net and continue to deliver high
quality, effective and efficient services.

Health Services
Health and Human Services
C2-64 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
Description: Includes the operations of Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and
emergency care services, ambulatory care
centers, physician services, emergency medical
services, charges from other County
departments, Department-wide administration,
and fixed assets.
Workload Indicator: The recommended FY
2011-2012 budget is based on an average daily
in-patient census of 120 patients, and 439,754
annual outpatient visits.
Baseline Budget: The County Subsidy
necessary to support the FY 2011-12 Baseline
Budget reflects a $469,000 decrease from the
FY 2010-11 budget.
Impact: The County Administrator’s Office has
recommended a Department-wide reduction in
County General Funds of $8.3 million. The
Department has allocated $4.6 million of this
reduction to this program. Service reductions
will be needed to balance service levels to the
available funding.
Note: See Program Reduction List at end of
Health Services Budget for balancing options.
1. Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
Description: A general acute care teaching
facility, the 166 licensed bed Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center provides a full range of
diagnostic and therapeutic services including
medical/surgical, intensive care, emergency,
prenatal/obstetrical, and psychiatric services.
Ancillary services include pharmacy,
rehabilitation, medical social work, laboratory,
diagnostic imaging, cardiopulmonary therapy
and ambulatory care surgery service. The
licensed basic emergency room provides
medical and psychiatric evaluation/treatment of
urgent cases.
The Regional Medical Center provides care to
individuals with a variety of insurance coverage.
Examples of these include Medicare, Medi-Cal
and private insurance. The cost of care
provided to these individuals is offset by the fees
collected.
The Medical Center also provides services to
individuals who cannot pay for them. This un-
reimbursed amount is reflected in the budget as
a contribution from the General Fund labeled as
Net County Cost.
The Medical Center provides services to
individuals who cannot pay because the County
has a general duty to provide care for indigents.
That duty is specified by the State of California
in the Welfare and Institutions Code section
17000. The County Board is authorized to adopt
standards of aid and care for the indigent and
has done so. The County's indigent health care
program is named the Basic Health Care (BHC)
program. Under the BHC program legal
residents of Contra Costa County with incomes
of less than 300 percent of the Federal Poverty
Level (FPL) are eligible for medical services at
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
(including referred care to non- county facilities
as medically required).
BHC enrollees pay a fee based on a sliding
scale:
• 0-150% FPL ($1,354 maximum monthly income)
no fee;
• 150-200% FPL ($1,805 maximum monthly
income) $25 per month;
• 200-250% FPL ($2256 maximum monthly income)
$50 per month;
• 250-300% FPL ($2,708 maximum monthly
income) $75 per month.
The current number of individuals enrolled in the
BHC program is 14,729. Seventy-nine percent
of the enrollees are in the 0-133% FPL group;
fifteen percent are in the 134-200% FPL group
and six percent are in excess of 200% FPL.
Included in the BHC enrollment number above
are 741 undocumented children. Ninety-five
percent of the children are in the 0-133% FPL
group and five percent are in the 134-200% FPL
group.
The recently enacted Section 1115 Medicaid
(Medi-Cal) Waiver provides an option to provide
coverage to individuals up to 133% of the FPL
through the Medicaid Coverage Expansion
(MCE). There is no cap on the Federal share of
funding for this program, but local match must
be provided. Additionally, individuals from 134-
200% of FPL are also eligible for the Health
Care Coverage Initiative (HCCI) program. The
HCCI program has a cap on the amount of
federal funding available and a local match is
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C2-65
also required. A maintenance of effort (MOE) is
required for the combined programs.
CCRMC has applied for funding under both the
MCE and HCCI program. This budget is
predicated on the assumption that the
application for $40 million in federal funds will be
approved.
The Medi-Cal Waiver also provides for a
Delivery System Reform Incentive Pool
(DSRIP). Under the DSRIP, funding is available
for work in four areas:
1. Infrastructure Development,
2. Innovation and Redesign,
3. Population-Focused Improvement, and
4. Urgent Improvement in Care.
To obtain funding, CCRMC has submitted a five-
year plan showing how results will be achieved
in the four areas inclusive of significant annual
milestones. Plan approval is pending final State
and Federal review. This budget anticipates
receipt of $20 million for these activities.

Plan.
Workload Indicator: The recommended FY
2011-2012 budget is based on an average
monthly enrollment of 30,759 members.
Baseline Budget: To maintain the existing
level of services in FY 2011-12, the Baseline

2. Healthy Families Program. This program
of low cost health insurance provides health,
dental and vision benefits to low-income
children who do not have insurance and do
not qualify for no-cost Medi-Cal.
3. Medicare Senior Health Plan. This product
line serves Contra Costa senior residents
who are covered under Medicare and who
choose CCHP as their medical gap insurer.
In addition to the basic Medicare coverage
under this program, there are various
benefits covered by member premiums that
reduce the member’s medical expenses for
Medicare co-payments and deductibles. On
the Senior Health Plus Plan, the premium
helps to pay for those services not covered
by Medicare, such as eye and hearing
exams as well as glasses and hearing aids
and some drugs not covered by Medicare
Part D.
4. Medicare SNP (Special Needs Plan).
CCHP also implemented a Medicare Risk
Program for full benefit dual eligible
members covered by both Medicare and
Medi-Cal.
5. Basic Health Care (BHC). This program is
designed to provide needed medical care to
the formerly State-sponsored medically
indigent residents of Contra Costa County
with incomes less than or equal to 300
percent of the federal poverty level. It offers
limited health benefits compared to other
groups. Services are primarily provided at
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
(CCRMC) and County-operated medical
clinics.
6. Health Care Coverage Initiative (HCCI).
On April 10, 2007 the County was awarded
$15,250,000 annually for the provision of
health care services to uninsured individuals
during the period September 1, 2007
through August 30, 2010. Coverage under
this county program was extended by
Waiver 1115. HCCI individuals are between
134%-200% of the federal poverty level
(FPL). The care for these individuals is
managed by the Health Plan and provided
by the Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center, the County operated ambulatory
care clinics, and through contracts with other
local providers. Individuals that meet the
eligibility requirements for this program,
which includes proof of U.S. citizenship,
have a scope of covered services that are
consistent with those of the BHC program.
The HCI grant requires the County provide a
local match in an amount equal to the grant
funds being drawn down. This match is
contained in the Enterprise Fund I budget
unit.
7. Medi-Cal Expansion Program (MCE). In
2011 under Waiver 1115, the Medi-Cal
Expansion Program covers those uninsured
county residents between 0–133% of FPL.
In addition to the benefits covered by HCCI,
the Medi-Cal Expansion Program includes
Mental Health Services and also covers
Emergency Services rendered outside of
CCRMC.
Note: Due to State reporting requirements, the
cost of the BHC, HCI and MCE programs are
reclassified at yearend between the Hospital and
Community Health Plan Enterprise Funds.

redesigned to more efficiently serve a
targeted population of adolescents and
young adults, using evidence-based practice
models.

8. Mental Health Services Act/
Proposition 63
Description: Approved by California voters in
November of 2004, Proposition 63 imposes a
1% tax on incomes in excess of $1 million and
directs those collections to the provision of
Mental Health Services. The Mental Health
Services Act (MHSA) will expand mental health
care programs for children, transition age youth,
adults, and older adults. The intent of the new
revenue is to provide adequate state and local
funds to meet the needs of all children and
adults who can be identified and enrolled in
programs under this measure to provide
services that are not already covered by
federally-sponsored programs or by individuals’
or families’ insurance programs. Programs are
to be effective in providing outreach and
integrated services to various ages. Services
must include approaches that are culturally and
linguistically competent to address the needs of
underserved populations. They must include
prevention and early intervention services as
well as medical and supportive care. The MHSA
added Section 5891 to the Welfare & Institutions
Code, which reads in part, “The funding
established pursuant to this Act shall be utilized
to expand mental health services. These funds
shall not be used to supplant existing State or
county funds utilized to provide mental health
services.”
A comprehensive plan has been approved by
the Board of Supervisors and was submitted to
the State Department of Mental Health on
December 22, 2005.
The $27.9 million State allocation for FY 2011-
2012 is expected to be expended as follows:
Program Type $ in Millions
Community Support System 20.2
Prevention and Early Intervention 6.0
Work Force Education & Training 0.5
Capital Facilities 0.0

3. Communicable Disease Prevention and
Control/Health Emergency Response
Unit
Description: These programs work to prevent
and control the spread of communicable
diseases through health education,
epidemiological surveillance and investigation,
case management and laboratory examinations.
Isolation of persons with communicable disease,
when necessary to protect the public, and
assurance that persons in contact with a
communicable disease receive prophylactic
treatment are integral components of these
programs. This unit responds to the public on
issues of rabies control, working closely with
Animal Services. The Unit maintains an advice
service for travelers regarding immunization and
disease prevention. Consultation is provided to
physicians and hospital infection control
practitioners on the prevention and control of
communicable diseases. Emphasis is placed on
early identification of a communicable disease
outbreak or trend, the prevention of
transmission, identification of the source, and
elimination of that source of disease to reduce
the incidence of all communicable disease.
a. Health Emergency Response includes
response planning for all health hazards and
health emergencies. Public Information, risk
communication, and internal and external
communication with employees, the
community and the media is integrated into
all aspects of response. Response planning
for many diseases such as Pandemic Flu,
communicable disease outbreaks, food-
borne illness, and agents of potential bio-
terrorism is done in this unit. This unit works
closely with all areas of the Communicable
Disease Control Program, the Public Health
Lab, Environmental Health, Emergency
Medical Services Division, the office of
Emergency Services and the Hazardous
Materials Program as well as many other
county departments and community
partners.
b. Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
Program works to prevent STDs by
identifying cases and their sexual contacts
and by investigating and ensuring treatment
of all reported cases. The program
interviews persons with STDs to obtain
contact information and assist contacts in
obtaining treatment. Provisional data for
2010 shows at least 3,396 cases of
Chlamydia and 734 cases of Gonorrhea
among Contra Costa residents. These
diseases are responsible for serious health
problems in young men and women as well
as in the newborn of an infected and
untreated mother. In addition to Chlamydia
and Gonorrhea, the program follows people
with syphilis and provides prevention
education on 32 other STDs. In 2010 follow-
up was provided to 63 cases of primary,
secondary, or early latent syphilis. The STD
Program emphasizes prevention education
in schools and in clinics. The program
provides 3 STD clinics weekly that offer
diagnosis and treatment for STDs, offers
rapid HIV testing and has expanded STD
testing and prevention services to youth in
various Alcohol and Other Drug Services
Programs.
c. AIDS Program reduces the transmission of
HIV and improves health outcomes for HIV
positive individuals in Contra Costa through
the provision of individual and community
education and prevention services, home
and clinic-based case management and
Health Services
Health and Human Services
C2-84 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
navigation services, mobile HIV testing
services, and agency capacity building.
HIV rapid test services support healthier
behaviors by encouraging people of all ages
and orientations to know their HIV status.
Confidential and quick HIV and Hepatitis C
testing in non-traditional sites such as soup
kitchens, shelters, substance use agencies
and parks reach communities not routinely
seen by traditional medical provider venues.
In 2010 services for people with HIV,
provided directly or via subcontracted
providers, reached 774 low-income HIV-
positive individuals, providing nurse and
community-based case management
services, clinical social work services,
benefits counseling, clinical outreach,
medication access and education, AIDS
Drug Assistance Program enrollment, food
and transportation assistance, substance
abuse and mental health support, home
care services, housing assistance and other
emergency assistance. These services
allow people to remain in their homes
longer, reducing emergency medical care,
decreasing hospitalization, reducing cost,
and improving health status. The clinical
quality management program identifies
individuals at risk for poor health outcomes
and provides support to the clinicians and
patients through case conferencing and
outreach support services.
Local planning efforts through the HIV/AIDS
Consortium and other venues help identify
highest risk populations for prevention and
resources for services for people with HIV
and AIDS. Capacity building activities
expand community ability and competency
to serve people with HIV or at risk for HIV.
Recent activities include: “Seeking Safety,”
and “Cultural Competence in Engaging and
Retaining African American and Latino
MSM’s in Care,” and Partner Counseling
and Referral Services. Collaborative efforts
with the Homeless System of Care, STD,
AODS, and Public Health Clinic services
have strengthened all Health Department
Programs serving similar populations.
d. Epidemiology, Surveillance and Health
Data works to monitor communicable
disease incidence, prevalence and trends in
Contra Costa. The unit is responsible for
active HIV and AIDS surveillance in all local
hospitals and clinics as well as private
medical providers to assure accurate and
timely reporting of HIV and AIDS. To this
effect, the unit coordinates information with
four local laboratories and Kaiser regional
laboratory, as well as six private
laboratories. The information is gathered
and stored securely, locally and forwarded
to the State HIV/AIDS registry.
Health data for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis,
STD and other communicable diseases are
analyzed every year and reports distributed
to medical providers and others. Reports
are also prepared on request for medical
providers, grant writers, the press and the
general public. The unit has GIS mapping
capabilities and provides mapping for
data/surveillance needs.
Additionally, the unit provides confidential
and voluntary partner notification and
referral services and special cases
investigation for HIV positive persons on
request.
e. Immunization Program provides
immunization clinics for children and adults,
consultation to health care providers, and
technical assistance to schools, day care
centers, and preschool programs to ensure
compliance with California Immunization
laws. This year there is a new state
requirement for 7th through 12th graders to
receive a whooping cough booster before
starting school in the fall. Education and
training for parents, providers and the
community about new vaccines and the
importance of immunizations is ongoing.
This program also conducts quality
assurance visits to public health care
providers for the Federal Vaccines for
Children Program. Staff also recruits
providers to participate in the Bay Area
Immunization Registry, a community-wide

conducts disease investigation into the
occurrence of vaccine-preventable diseases,
and conducts the Perinatal Hepatitis B
program to prevent the development of
chronic hepatitis B in infants. In 2010
15,556 immunizations were given at Public
Health clinics and 8,287 flu vaccines were
given.
f. Tuberculosis Control Program provides
PHN case management for people with
active tuberculosis, their contacts, and
others with TB infection but at high risk for
progression to TB disease. In 2010, Contra
Costa had 33 TB cases reported. The PHNs
do home visiting to monitor the health status
of the patient and to assure proper and
complete compliance with the medical
regimen. Multiple drug-resistant TB requires
daily PHN visits for administration of
intramuscular or intravenous medications.
Disease Investigators work in concert with
the PHN to assure compliance and deliver
the TB medication to the patient on a daily
or twice weekly basis. In addition, contacts
to an active case are interviewed, examined
and placed on preventive therapy as
necessary. Contra Costa continues to have
TB rates, which necessitate careful
monitoring and response to reported cases
and prevention of further disease through
contact investigation and treatment.
g. LEAP (Limited English Access Program)
serves people coming into the county from
other countries who are refugees,
immigrants and asylees. Many of these
persons do not speak English and need
assistance with obtaining health care. The
program has 13 staff that speak 13 different
languages. Staff assists in all of the clinics
throughout health services where language
assistance is needed and assist private
providers when requested. The program
works closely with Jewish Family and
Children Services, International Rescue

examination room. In addition, this program
is now a part of a nationwide network
sharing our interpreters and utilizing
language skills we might need from other
partners.
i. Public Health Laboratory provides testing
in the areas of bacteriology, parasitology,
mycobacteriology, mycology, immunology
and virology throughout the Hospital, Clinics
and Public Health to support the health care
system. Microbiological examinations of
food and water are also provided in support
of Environmental Health Programs and
Communicable Disease. The lab also tests
potential agents of bioterrorism such as
white powders in coordination with the
Hazardous Materials Program. The lab is
both State and Federally certified and is
required to do certain testing as a reference
laboratory in support of Public Health, such
as salmonella testing, tuberculosis, botulism
testing and others. The Public Health lab
was heavily involved in the H1N1 response
and with all communicable disease
outbreaks.

show that the cities of Richmond, San Pablo and
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C2-89
Pittsburg have the highest rates for teen births
and STDs, and that the racial/ethnic groups in
Contra Costa County with the highest rates for
teen births and STDs are located in these
geographic areas. These cities show significant
disparities when compared with the county’s
overall rates of teen births and STDs, while also
experiencing dramatic economic disparities
compared with other geographic areas in Contra
Costa County. The programs to be replicated
for this project are “Draw the Line/Respect the
Line” for students ages 11-14 at six middle/junior
high schools, and “Reducing the Risk” for
students ages 14-15 in six high schools, totaling
approximately 8,300 participants. The overall
program goal is to reduce the birth rate among
youth 15-19 years old in Pittsburg, Riverside,
Richmond, Kennedy, Pinole Valley and DeAnza
High Schools by September 2015. Although the
goal is targeted to 15-19 year olds, middle
schools are included in the project in order to

a. Tobacco Prevention Program (TPP) works
on issues of youth access to tobacco,
reducing tobacco influences in the
community, and reducing exposure to
secondhand smoke. TPP has worked with
Contra Costa cities to adopt and implement
tobacco prevention policies to change
community norms that facilitate behavior
change and reduce tobacco use and
exposure to tobacco influences. This work
has led to reducing the illegal sales rate of
tobacco products to youth from 37% to 7%
in the unincorporated area of the County,
adoption of laws that protect residents from
secondhand smoke exposure in both
outside areas and inside multi-unit housing,
and a decrease in the smoking rate by 31%
Health Services
Health and Human Services
C2-90 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
since 1990. Tobacco use and secondhand
smoke exposure are casually linked to
numerous cancers, heart disease and
respiratory illnesses, and is a major
contributor to health disparities. The TPP
works with community partners to reduce
the health disparities through tobacco
prevention policy adoption and
implementation. Smoking costs for Contra
Costa were estimated at $228 million
annually in medical expenses alone.
b. Built Environment Program addresses the
impact of physical environment on health.
The Program staffs the interdepartmental
Planning Integration Team for Community
Health (PITCH) that includes
representatives from Public Works,
Department of Conservation and
Development, and Health Services to report
to the Board of Supervisors about land use
and transportation projects and policies to
create healthier communities. The BE
Program also partners with city staff and
communities to advocate for healthy
community designs for the Concord Naval
Weapons Reuse and the Health Element of
Richmond’s General and North Richmond’s
Specific Plans. In East County, the BE
Program works with the community to
identify and address environmental
concerns, working with high school students
to identify and create a campaign to address
any environmental justice issues. The BE
Program assisted the City of Richmond with
the development of a Pedestrian Plan and a
Bicycle Plan for the city to help make
walking and bicycling safer. The Program is
currently exploring the impact of climate
change on health.
Studies indicate that 1) access to well-
planned streets, paths and other safe
recreation spaces leads to increased
physical activity, 2) communities that lack
investment in biking and walking may be
contributing to higher traffic fatalities, 3)
states with the lowest levels of walking and
bicycling on average have the highest rates
of obesity, diabetes and high blood
pressure, and 4) proximity to fresh produce
leads to higher levels of fruit and vegetable
consumption.
c. Nutrition & Physical Activity Promotion
Program (NuPACT) partners with federal,
state and community agencies to provide
nutrition and physical activity education and
healthy, low-cost food demonstrations
through child care centers, community
events, and farm stand/farmers markets to
over 7,000 adults and children every year.
In addition, NuPACT trains teachers to
increase their students’ knowledge of and
familiarity with California grown fruits and
vegetables. The Program collaborates with
community partners to identify and increase
the number of outlets for healthy food and
physical activity in low-income communities
by increasing healthy foods at small stores,
cleaning up parks, distributing locally grown
produce and other activities. NuPACT
works on local, statewide and organizational
food and nutrition policies, including a 100%
healthy vending policy for Health Services.
The Program chairs and staffs Families
Coalition for Activity and Nutrition, provides
leadership to the Healthy and Active Before

e. Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
(LPPP) provides a Countywide,
comprehensive program of prevention,
screening, and clinical services for children
and their families. As a result of ongoing,
aggressive intervention, the blood lead
levels in children throughout the County are
dropping. Through extensive outreach,
education and training, LPPP decreases
lead exposure of children, which causes
cognitive and behavioral impairment in the
County. LPPP serves about 150 children
each year with elevated blood lead levels by
educating their caretakers/parents about
removing sources of lead, providing nurse
case management, culturally and
linguistically appropriate referrals, and
linking them to specialized clinical services
that decrease the life-long impact of lead on
the child. Conservative estimates of the
social and economic benefits of lead hazard
control indicate that for every dollar invested
in lead hazard control results in a return of
$17-221 (Environmental Health
Perspectives, July 2009). New studies
indicate lower crime rates in areas with
decreasing lead hazards. The LPPP also
contacts adults with occupational lead
exposure and provides them with education
about exposure source, workplace
precautions, and information on protective
measures to them and their family. The
primary sources of lead include older
housing found in many parts of the county
and contaminated household items. LPPP
has completed a three-year collaboration
with the City of Concord on a HUD Lead
Hazard Control grant to improve the older
housing in Monument Corridor and protect
high-risk families. The current new direction
is the development of a Healthy Homes
Program addressing housing-related causes
of asthma, injury, safety and lead poisoning.
f. Injury Prevention and Physical Activity
Promotional Projects (LPPP) works with
other County departments, cities, community
groups and schools to reduce injuries and
promote opportunities for everyday physical
activity. The Project focuses on educating
children and adults about traffic, pedestrian
and bicycle safety, and built environment
policies and best practices to create
communities that are safer for walking and
bicycling. Educational activities include:
providing traffic safety presentations to over
350 youth and bicycle helmets to over 250
low-income children annually, along with
conducting safe cycling demonstrations at
community events. IPPP conducts the West
Contra Costa Safe Routes to School
program.

Description: Funding for this program was
exhausted in the 2009-10 fiscal year.
The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act
of 2000 (SACPA) required each county to
designate a lead agency to administer SACPA
locally and to receive and disburse funds. The
Alcohol and Other Drugs Division of the Health
Services Department was designated as the
Lead Agency in Contra Costa County.
Under SACPA, most non-violent adult offenders
who used or possessed illegal drugs received
drug treatment in the community rather than
incarceration. The Probation Department and
the Superior Court were also involved in
providing services to the SACPA-eligible
population.
CAO Recommendation
The 2011-12 Baseline Budget for all program
and funds in the Health Services Department
total $1.36 billion dollars in expenditures, $938
million in revenue, and $98 million in County
General Purpose Revenue. These costs
represent the total cost to maintain all services
at the 2010-11 fiscal year levels.
The Department has been requested to reduce
their reliance on County General Purpose
Revenue (net County cost) by $8.3 million from
the baseline amounts to address the County’s
continued fiscal challenges.
The County Administrator’s Office is
recommending a total of $1.027 billion in
expenditures, $938 million in revenue and $90
million in County General Purpose Revenue.
The table at the end of this section reflects the
Departments proposed reductions to achieve
this funding goal and meet the $8.3 million
reduction. These recommendations include (in

Performance Measurement
Hospital and Ambulatory Care Centers:
Goal: Enhance Safety and Performance
Improvement (S&PI) Program to meet and
exceed all regulatory requirements and clinical
measures of high quality and reliable medical
care.
Outcome: Over the past year the hospital has
made outstanding progress in its quality journey.
Our core measures, which are the composite
rates for heart failure (HF), pneumonia (PN),
acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and surgical
care improvement project (SCIP), illustrate
sustained improvement over our baseline year.
These core measures are reported to Thompson
Reuters by a number of hospitals throughout the
United States and compare performance
improvement against baseline. Below is a
representation of the data comparing baseline
with CCRMC’s 3rd quarter 2010:
AMI 448 reporting
hospitals Baseline: 90% CCRMC Q3: 100%
HF 500 reporting
hospitals Baseline: 59.83% CCRMC Q3:
89.13%
PN 502 reporting
hospitals Baseline: 60.62% CCRMC Q3:
85.37%
SCIP 499 reporting
hospitals Baseline: 69.38% CCRMC Q3:
86.36%
The hospital’s Department of Psychiatry, in
keeping with its commitment to the provision of
quality care through measurement and national
benchmarking, has participated in the Joint
Commission’s Hospital-based Inpatient Services
(HBIPS) core measures program since January
2007. Comparative data shows that CCRMC
exceeds the benchmark comparisons in the
areas of Admission Screening, Multiple
Antipsychotic Medications at Discharge, Multiple
Antipsychotic Medications at Discharge with
Appropriate Justification, and Post Discharge
Continuing Care Plan.
The hospital underwent a highly successful
Medication Error Reporting and Prevention
(MERP) Audit that rendered “no” deficiencies. In
December 2010, the Hospital and Health
Centers were surveyed by the Joint Commission
and received only 3 Direct Impacts and 4
Indirect Impacts; the best survey outcome ever.
Goal: Redesign emergency psychiatric care
services through implementation of the
Healthcare Partnership. The Partnership
includes families, patients and staff. Continue to
work with community-based services in
cooperation with the Division of Mental Health.
Outcome: Significant work has occurred over
the past year to redesign our psychiatric care
services. Both patients and family members
were successfully engaged in this endeavor by
soliciting their input at every stage of our
improvement efforts. Four Kaizen Events,
focused upon improvement of Psychiatric
Services, were conducted throughout the year
that included patients (past and present), and
family members. These Kaizen events resulted
in a significant change in the process for
patients entering the Crisis Stabilization Unit
(CSU) by allowing patients to obtain medical
screening in CSU instead of first having to
present to the Emergency Room. This redesign
resulted in the elimination of 600 Emergency
Room visits per year which improving safety,
patient satisfaction and efficiency.
Goal: Patient Flow: Redesign Emergency
Department to support increased need. We
expect a continued increase of service as a
result of the economic downturn and loss of
health insurance. New processes and new
staffing will facilitate this approach.
Outcome: Over the year patient flow in the
Emergency Room was addressed in a number
of ways. First, as a result of participation in the
CSU admitting process redesign, visits to the
Emergency Room were reduced by 600 per
month. This equates to 1,000 hours per month
of unnecessary waiting time for our patients.
Emergency Room leadership worked alongside
hospital Facilities Staff and Contra Costa Fire
Services in order to reclassify ER’s central core
into a “suite.” Doing so allowed placement of
five treatment gurneys into that location, thereby
increasing capacity and improving patient safety.

Mental Health:
Goal: Continue with implementation and
monitoring of Mental Health Services Act
(MHSA) components, programs and strategies,
using evidence-based best practices,
performance based contracting, and
engagement of community partners and
stakeholders.
Outcome:
• Many of the MHSA programs follow
evidence-based practices in their service
delivery models. Each of the programs
measures model fidelity and client
outcomes. To note a few:
{ Older Adult Mental Health IMPACT
Program
{ Wraparound in the County Children’s
Clinics and as part of the Families
Forward Children’s Full Service
Partnership Program
{ Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
with the TAY and Adult FSP programs
{ Wellness Recovery Action Planning
(WRAP) for Adults who attend the
Community Wellness and Recovery
Centers and Full Service Partnership
programs.
• All Community Services and Supports (CSS)
and Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI)
contracts have detailed service work plans,
including program goals, objectives and
outcome measures, to assist with
performance based contracting.
• Engagement of community partners and
stakeholders at all levels is the cornerstone
of MHSA. Several venues are in place to
solicit feedback and participation from
community partners.
{ The annual MHSA Outcomes event was
organized by staff and stakeholders and
attended by over 250 people.
{ There are Children, TAY and Adult-
focused steering committees in place
that convene regularly to discuss
program issues and policies.
{ The PEI programs have the opportunity
to engage the community and
collaborate with each other during the
regional PEI roundtable events.
Goal: Continue to improve the quality of life for
Children, Adults, Older Adults, and Transition
Age Youth with psychiatric conditions by
increasing support services in the community
(i.e., housing, education, vocational training,
money management, wraparound and school
based services), and continue evaluating
performance improvement of same through
indicators and measures.
Outcome:
• Several focus groups were conducted with
various consumer stakeholder groups to
ascertain qualitative information regarding
vocational support, consumer satisfaction
and overall quality of life. Data was
analyzed and presented to various
stakeholder groups, which triggered action
planning and discussions with program staff.
• The TAY and Adult Full Service Partnership
programs are integrating vocational supports
into their services as the majority of FSPs
state that employment is a recovery goal.
• The MHSA Workforce Education and
Training (WET) component, the Office for
Consumer Empowerment (OCE), and
Mental Health Consumer Concerns (MHCC)
are working in collaboration, as well as
independently, on several education
initiatives to decrease stigma and increase
awareness and knowledge among service
providers, community members and
consumers about mental health issues.
• The Three community Wellness and
Recovery Centers managed by MHCC have
implemented a mental health recovery and
quality of life outcome measure that is
administered to each person who attends
the centers. The information derived from
the measure will be reviewed continuously
and will guide revisions or updates to the
program structure.

State and local programs for veterans and
their families.
Major Department Responsibilities
There are three components to Veteran’s
Services.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Department’s baseline net County cost
decreased by a net of $720 over the 2010-11
budget. This decrease was due to a
combination of increases in the cost of salaries
and retirement expenses combined with a
decrease in the cost of worker’s compensation
benefits for fiscal year 2011-12.
The County Administrator is recommending full
funding at the baseline level. Any further
reductions to this Department will require
staffing and service reductions to the public
which will adversely impact the veteran
community.
Performance Measurements
1. During the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the
Veterans Service Department increased
retroactive and lump sum monetary benefits
received by veterans 11% over the 2008-
2009 fiscal year; total received $4,933,340
2. Staff conducted 6,112 interviews and
answered 15,546 phone inquiries during 09-
10 fiscal year.
3. Received a perfect score from the California
Department of Veterans Affairs audit thereby

4. Realized a 12% increase in new monthly
recurring benefits for clients over the
previous year for a total of $6,623,364
received by Contra Costa County Veterans.
Administrative and Program Goals

difficulty regarding physical and mental
disabilities, including:
1. The aging veteran population which deals
with profound geriatric issues such as
dementia, Alzheimer's, post-stroke recovery,

and net County costs for three General Fund
budget units administered by the Animal
Services Department. Included are data for the
following cost centers:

Law and Justice
C3-4 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
3335 – Animal Licensing
3340 – Animal Services Centers
3345 – Spay/Neuter Clinic
The cost center for Animal Services Centers has
been further functionally divided into Animal
Care and Housing and Field Enforcement.
Major Department Responsibilities
The Animal Services Department is responsible
for protecting the citizens of the County from
animal-related diseases, and preventing cruelty,
abuse and neglect of animals by enforcing all
State and County animal laws; and through
education encouraging responsible pet
ownership and humane treatment of animals.
The Department enforces State law and County
ordinances related to rabies and licensing
requirements to maximize the number of dogs
licensed in the county. Through outreach with
the community and coordination with adoption
partners, the Department strives to increase the
live release rate of shelter animals. Department
responsibilities are accomplished through
operation of a state-of-the-art animal shelter, a
Countywide animal licensing program which
includes new on-line access to license pets,
round-the-clock officer patrols, and a modern,
low-cost spay and neuter clinic open to the
public.
Animal Licensing
Description: Maintains a licensing program for
dogs throughout the county to assist in
identification of lost animals and control of
rabies, and to partially offset the cost of
operating animal control and spay/neuter
services. The State Health and Safety Code
requires the licensing of dogs in rabies endemic
areas. The State Agriculture Code also requires
dog licensing. The Department uses a
computerized system to identify owners who
have vaccinated their dogs against rabies but
who have not obtained a license. Recently the
department added an on-line licensing system
that allows owners to license their pets at home.

CAO’s Recommendation
The FY 2011-12 Baseline Budget increases
$309,610 primarily due to increases in salary
and benefit costs associated with the expiration
of furloughs and increased contracting costs.
The CAO recommends a FY 2011-12 net
County cost budget equivalent to the 2010-11
fiscal year. This reduction is accomplished
largely through an increase in revenue of
$291,834 plus a slight decrease in expenditures
due to a reduction in the number of vehicles.
The FY 2011-12 Recommended Budget will
allow the Department to continue the current
level of services.
Performance Measurement
Goal: Increase the animal adoption rate.
Measurement: The Department was successful
in its continued efforts to increase the live
release rate of animals in FY 2009-10 by 6%
from FY 2008-09.
Goal: Install laptops with wireless units in all
field vehicles to improve efficiency and
productivity;
Measurement: The Department has successfully
equipped a total of 15 vehicles to use wireless
technology in the field. That number should
increase to 17 vehicles by June 30, 2011, and
more if additional funds can be secured.
Goal: Continue to utilize available technologies
to increase departmental revenues and improve
program effectiveness.
Measurement: The Department replaced all of
its computers this past year as well as expanded
its ability to utilize new computer software
programs to increase on-line licensing revenue.
Administrative and Program Goals
The Department continues to upgrade the
department’s shelter and field management
programs to include web licensing, GPS
capacity for our vehicles in the field, and
improve the tracking of animal condition and
movement through the system. Improved
tracking of animals in our two shelters and in
foster care will enhance staff’s ability to
more effectively address treatment and
disease control issues, and to better
manage the increased density in shelter
population.
Increase animal adoptions by increasing the
use of modern technology to better
showcase animals on our website, and
Facebook pages; creating video
presentations to improve the visibility of the
animals and our adoption programs; and
increasing the number and locations for
mobile adoption events.
Enhance the department’s education
program by implementing a series of dog
obedience and training programs for the
public, and expanding behaviorial
information on the department’s website.

CAO’s Recommendation
The County currently and has for many years
contracted with the Contra Costa County Bar
Association to provide conflict legal defense
services through private attorneys. Costs had
been trending upward due to an increase in the
number of homicide and capital cases referred to
the Bar, many of which involve multiple
defendants requiring separate legal
representation. Last year, the County negotiated
a new contract with the Bar that incorporated
improved cost controls and presumptive
maximum fees, which have helped to reduce
overall program costs.
The Recommended Budget provides for the
continuation of services with the Bar at current
case levels, at an amount that is $146,778 lower
than the current-year budget. The County
Administrator will be entering into negotiations
for the 2011/12 contract in early April. Proposed
reductions to the Public Defender’s office will
have a direct impact on the level of services
required of the Criminal Conflicts Defense
Program and, ergo, the cost of the contract with
the Bar.
The level of service for this program is mandated

CAO Recommendation
Baseline Budget Summary
The District Attorney’s baseline budget
increases net County cost by $2,019,789, which
primarily represents the net of $2,288,907 in
salary and benefit cost increases, $181,169 in
services and supplies increases, and $450,287
in revenue increases. The baseline budget
reflects a prior-year Board of Supervisors budget
augmentation to preserve misdemeanor
prosecution.
Budget Reduction Summary
The County Administrator is recommending a
budget that holds department costs at 2010/11
levels. In order to achieve this budget, the
department will be required to make the
following revenue adjustments and cost and
service reductions:
♦ Increased Revenue - $225,219
Proposition 172 sales tax revenues are
increased based on information provided by
the County’s sales tax consulting firm,
Hinderliter, de Llamas & Associates. To the
extent that public safety sales tax revenue
improves, the department will be able to
reduce its budget provision for the staff
vacancy factor.
♦ Miscellaneous Adjustments - $140,000
The Recommended Budget assumes the
implementation of the new law and justice
case management system by the beginning
of the 2011/12 fiscal year in order avoid
continuing annual mainframe costs of
$100,000. The District Attorney module is
the first phase of implementation of the
system. System implementation was stalled
due to key personnel changes and business
fit issues. The system vendor and County
project manager will attempt to
accommodate, to the extent feasible, the
District Attorney’s specific operating
requirements. However, in order to avoid
incurring ongoing, unbudgeted mainframe
costs, it is imperative that the new case
District Attorney
Law and Justice
C3-20 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
management system be implemented for all
of the justice partners in FY 2011/12.
The budget also relies on $40,000 in file
storage cost savings due to a file purge
project.
♦ Personnel Adjustments - $1,366,273
Recommended personnel adjustments and
corresponding program impacts can be
found on the Program Reduction List,
numbers 4 - 7, at the end of this section.
♦ Staff Vacancy Factor - $288,297
Provision for a staff vacancy factor is
included, recognizing the savings achieved
from unplanned personnel turnover.
The California Constitution, Article XIII, section
35 declares that: “The protection of the public
safety is the first responsibility of local
government” and “local officials have an
obligation to give priority to the provision of
adequate public safety services.”
The District Attorney advises that the reduction
of nine staff attorneys and three inspector
positions will have extreme consequences, as
these reductions compound prior-year staff
reductions. Attorney staff was reduced two
years ago from 91 attorneys to 87 attorneys.
Because 17 of the DA’s 87 attorneys are funded
by grants, their services are limited to
prosecuting very specific type crimes. Thus,
with this cut, DA attorney staff will be reduced by
an additional 9 attorneys out of the remaining 70
attorneys who prosecute general crimes.
The District Attorney advises that his office
would no longer be able to implement the county
policy of zero-tolerance on domestic violence
cases, including elder abuse and those cases in
which the victim refuses to cooperate. The DA
would be unable to prosecute a substantial
number of the 3,000 domestic violence referrals
received by his office each year.
The proposed reductions in attorney staff would
prevent the DA’s office from being able to
prosecute first time offenders for failure to
register as sex offenders. These offenses are
currently prosecuted as felonies. With this cut,
offenders would have to be placed in a diversion
program instead. Likewise, the DA’s ability to
successfully prosecute the annual 11,000
misdemeanor crimes committed by adults and
juveniles will be severely compromised.
The budget and staffing cuts proposed by the
County Administrator are separate and apart
from the anticipated impacts of the Governor’s
proposed realignment of the criminal justice
system. If the realignment goes forward, more
parolees will be released to our county with less
supervision. Because of the state’s high
recidivism rate of nearly 70%, the realignment of
state prisoners and parolees to county
jurisdiction will likely result in more work for the
District Attorneys’ office. The current state
proposal provides no funding for prosecution
and defense of state re-offenders.
Since the November election, the District
Attorney’s office has embarked on aggressive
new crime prevention initiatives. The office has
begun work on pursuing gang injunctions, as
well as instituting a new county wide truancy
program. Unfortunately, with a cut of this
magnitude, these new initiatives would grind to a
halt.
The Governor continues to campaign for the
extension of sales tax and vehicle license fees,
which support many local public safety
programs. Likewise, the County is currently
engaged in negotiations with its labor
organizations with the goal of obtaining wage
concessions that would reduce County costs
and help to preserve vital public services. For
example, The County Administrator’s Office
estimates that a six percent across-the-board
wage reduction would reduce salaries and
benefits cost in the District Attorney’s office by
nearly $1.4 million, which would avoid nearly all
of the proposed position reductions and their
associated negative impacts to services.
Note: The County Administrator has developed
recommendations based on service level impacts
communicated by the District Attorney’s Office. It is
acknowledged that the District Attorney is an elected
official and has ultimate discretion on how to best
deploy resources within his department using
appropriations allocated by the Board of
Supervisors.
District Attorney
Law and Justice
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C3-21
Performance Measurement
The District Attorney will continue efforts
with other County justice partners
towards design and implementation of
the new case management information
system.
A case management system was chosen in
2008 and since that time, the District
Attorney has invested substantial time and
resources working with the vendor to
customize the system specific to the
Department’s needs.
As of this date, the operability of the case
management system is in serious question.
Critical decisions will need to be made
regarding the continued use of staff time and
resources to try and make the case
management system fully functional.
The District Attorney will continue efforts
to stabilize staffing fluctuations in
clerical classifications in an effort to
continue to meet prosecutorial
requirements and court timelines.
Attempts to stabilize staffing in clerical
classifications continue to be unsuccessful
due to lack of access to qualified
candidates. The District Attorney’s office is
challenged to meet court deadlines with as
much as 44% of clerical staff being
temporary employees. The inability to hire
permanent staff, combined with the County
Side Letter Agreement to limit temporary
staff to one 90-day contract, requires the
office to continuously interview and train
temporary employees. The Department
loses valuable time, energy, and money
training staff that it is unable to retain
permanently. The process of continually
interviewing and training temporary
employees strains department resources
and motivates remaining staff to seek other
opportunities. This severe and ongoing
clerical shortage challenges the District
Attorney’s office’s ability to process court
documents, keep court calendars, issue
subpoenas, and a variety of other critical
clerical functions that may negatively impact
prosecution efforts.
Administrative and Program Goals
The District Attorney will evaluate current
filing systems in an effort to identify ways to
update and streamline processes, and to
purge obsolete files to reduce file storage
costs.
The District Attorney will investigate the
possibility of electronic storage of closed
files.
The District Attorney will continue efforts to
maintain minimum staffing levels necessary
to prosecute the full spectrum of criminal
offenses.
The District Attorney's Office would like to
implement new crime prevention initiatives
such as gang injunctions, and truancy
programs. However, they will be very difficult
to implement absent sufficient funding for
the office.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline Budget is decreased primarily due
to the removal of one-time appropriations in the
Vehicle Theft Program and for the purchase of
communications routers for the All County
Justice Information Network (ACCJIN), which is
budgeted in the Law & Justice Systems
Development Program.
No reductions are recommended for this
program. The budgets for all of the special funds
will be adjusted to reflect fund balances when
the current budget year is complete and final
balances are known.
Administrative and Program Goals
The CAO continues to work on the
implementation of the new integrated law and
justice case management system. The first
phase of the system – the District Attorney
module – is scheduled to roll out this spring, with
the second and third phases to follow.
The primary goal for 2011/12 will be to
successfully complete the implementation of the
new case management system and to maintain
all other systems; and to rebuild project
management expertise and institutional
knowledge that was lost through the 2010
retirement of the business manager for this
program.

CAO Recommendation
Baseline Budget Summary
The Probation Department’s baseline budget
increases net County cost by $5,411,608, of
which salary and benefit cost increases
compose $3,613,366. The services and supplies
budget increased $662,544 due to increased
costs from Health Services for providing medical
care in Probation Facilities ($301,642).
Additionally, DoIT Data Processing Services
increased ($204,892) related to the new
Probation Collections Unit and the continued
mainframe costs until the case management
system is operational. Revenue decreased
$225,137 due to grants ending.
Budget Reduction Summary
The County Administrator is recommending a
budget that is slightly above the 2010/11
budgeted level, but nearly $5.3 million below
that Baseline level. In order to achieve this
budget, the department will be required to make
the following cost and service reductions:
1. Personnel Adjustments - $5,132,094
Specific personnel reductions and
corresponding program impact analysis can
be found on the Program Reduction List at
the end of this section and are more fully
described below.
2. Miscellaneous Adjustments - $201,296
The proposed closure of one unit at the
Juvenile Hall will result in reduced service
and supply costs in the areas of food,
clothing, personal supplies, and medical
services.
3. Additional Revenue Loss - ($36,782)
Personnel reductions in the area of Juvenile
Supervision will reduce the amount of Title
IV-E revenue received.
Juvenile Hall Unit Closure. The proposed
closure of a Juvenile Hall Unit will allow for the
elimination of seven Probation Counselor
positions and one Custodian position. The
closure will reduce the total number of beds at
Juvenile Hall from 190 to 160 based on available
minimum staffing standards as mandated by
State Government Code Title 15. Currently, 1½
units are reserved for rehabilitation (Youth
Offender Treatment Program and Girls in
Motion), which reduces available detention beds
to 110.
Juvenile Hall detention units house only
residents who have been arrested for serious
and violent felonies or for violating the Court’s
order. When the facility reaches its maximum
capacity, those serious and violent youthful
offenders will be released into the community
without supervision pending court proceedings,
Probation
Law and Justice
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C3-41
significantly impacting community safety. Each
time a law enforcement agency attempts to
admit a new offender, it will necessitate the
release of an offender currently in custody in
order to maintain the 160 cap. If the population
rises above the cap, additional staff will be
required at an increased cost and could result in
sanctions from the Corrections Standards
Authority.
Adult Probation. Loss of 20.5 adult general
supervision deputies will result in virtually all
adult probationers being placed in a “banked”
caseload, meaning that approximately 1,720
serious and violent felons will remain
unsupervised in the community and only receive
attention when they commit another crime. This
will include sex offenders and adult and juvenile
active gang members. There would be no staff
to administer drug testing and GPS (Global
Positioning System)/electronic monitoring, or to
ensure drug, arson, gang and sex offender
registration, residence verification, enforcement
of domestic violence and related stay away
orders or process transfers between counties. A
very small number of grant funded intensive
supervision positions would remain; however,
those caseloads have mandated small
maximum caseloads and are restricted to
specific offenses. There would also remain a
small number of staff that has state-mandated
responsibilities to provide court services.
Juvenile Probation. Loss of 13 Juvenile
supervision deputies will reduce supervision
services to youth who are wards of the Court.
This would be the first time in the history of the
Contra Costa County Probation Department that
there would be an unsupervised banked juvenile
caseload similar to adult probation. These youth
would only receive attention when they
committed a new criminal act. There would be
no staff to administer drug testing and
GPS/electronic monitoring, school attendance
verification, and compliance with the court’s
orders. There would be no staff available to
assist the court with residence verification or to
participate with current collaborative partners,
nor would staff be able to respond to community
support programs. There would also be no
available staff to work on diverting youth from
deeper entrenchment in the Juvenile Justice
System, no informal probation services or
support for drug and mental health court, and no
assistance with diversion panels. A small
number of grant and state-funded positions
would remain to provide limited supervision,
court services and certain mandated
responsibilities.
The proposed dramatic budget reduction to
Adult and Juvenile Supervision services as well
as to the Juvenile Hall severely compromise the
Probation Department’s ability to adequately
protect county neighborhoods, to provide
meaningful services to its clients and, ultimately,
to stop more victims having to suffer the
consequences of criminal behavior.
State Justice Program Realignment. The
budget and staffing cuts proposed by the County
Administrator are separate and apart from the
anticipated impacts of the Governor’s proposed
realignment of the criminal justice system. If the
realignment goes forward, more parolees will be
released to our county with less supervision.
Additionally, more new offenders will be housed
or supervised locally due to proposed transfers
to county jurisdiction. Because of the state’s
high recidivism rate of nearly 70%, the
realignment of state prisoners and parolees to
county jurisdiction will likely result in more local
criminal activity, increasing workload throughout
the County’s criminal justice system. While the
funding formula for state justice realignment
remains largely tentative, the current proposed
allocations for incarceration, supervision, and
treatment appear to be insufficient, considering
that local jail capacity and community-based
mental health and substance abuse treatment
capacity is extremely limited.
The Governor continues to campaign for the
extension of sales tax and vehicle license fees,
which support many local public safety programs
and which will be essential to fund his proposed
realignment program. Likewise, the County is
currently engaged in negotiations with its labor
organizations with the goal of obtaining wage
concessions that would reduce County costs
and help to preserve vital public services. For
example, a six percent across-the-board wage
reduction would reduce salaries and benefits
cost in the Probation Department by nearly $2.4
million, which would mitigate nearly half of the
Probation
Law and Justice
C3-42 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
proposed position reductions and their
associated negative impacts to services.
Performance Measurement
• Complete the implementation of a
computerized Law and Justice
information and case management
system (CMS).
Once the District Attorney’s component is
operational, Probation can then complete
the final implementation of the Adult CMS.
• Develop State Recognized Evidence-
Based Programming (EBP) in facilities
and field probation.
The Department has trained staff in Best
Practices and will identify and implement
systems change to use EBP most
effectively. Several grants have been
received and additional grants have been
submitted to train probation staff to be
trainers, a cost effective method to expand
programs. EBP outcomes will determine
efficient use of dwindling resources.
• Implement and train staff in Gender
Specific Programming.
In 2010, the Department opened the Girl’s in
Motion Program in direct response to a lack
of services for girls in the community. The
Department has invested in training staff to
identify and refer girls who have been
commercially exploited. Additional staff
training is needed to support the program
and aftercare to decrease the numbers of
girls who are continually victimized. A grant
has been submitted that will not provide
additional staffing but will provide more
evidence-based practices to youth.
• Seek possible funding sources to
rehabilitate, at no county cost, two units
of Juvenile Hall.
There may be the opportunity with the
anticipated construction funds from Senate
Bill 81 to provide a more appropriate living
environment in the two rehabilitative units
within the Juvenile Hall facility.
• Maintain public protection with the
creative use of diminished financial
resources.
The Department has applied for and
received numerous grants and has
continued to collaborate with other law
enforcement agencies in order to maintain
public protection and keep our community
safe.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Complete the implementation of a
computerized Law and Justice information
and case management system.
• Analyze all programs for enhancement
opportunities presented by new technology.
• Maintain public protection with the creative
use of diminished financial resources.
• Aggressively search for outside funding to
provide meaningful and comprehensive
supervision and services for adult and
juvenile population.

CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline Budget Summary
The Public Defender’s baseline budget increases
net County cost by $1,662,108. This is primarily
attributable to salaries and benefits increases
and the elimination of a staff vacancy factor,
which had been used to balance the department
budget in prior years.
Budget Reduction Summary
The County Administrator is recommending a
budget that holds department costs at 2010/11
levels. In order to achieve this budget, the
department will be required to make the following
cost and service reductions:
♦ Personnel Reductions - $1,580,000
Unfund 7 Deputy Public Defender III, 1
Investigator, and 0.5 Paralegal positions in
the Main Office, resulting in a 50% reduction
in felony cases covered in the Central/East
end of the county and an increase of
approximate 75 felony cases per month
referred to the criminal conflicts defense
panel. The County Administrator is currently
negotiating with the Contra Costa County Bar
Association for criminal conflicts defense
services, which is budgeted as a separate
program.
♦ Miscellaneous Adjustments - $82,100
The Recommended Budget also reduces the
budget for expert witness and consultation
services commensurate with the reduction in
felony caseloads related to the elimination of
7 Deputy Public Defender III positions.
The County is currently engaged in negotiations
with its labor organizations with the goal of
obtaining wage concessions that would reduce
County costs and help to preserve vital public
services. For example, a six percent across-
the-board wage reduction would reduce salaries
and benefits cost in the Public Defender’s office
by approximately $800,000, which would
Public Defender
Law and Justice
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C3-47
substantially mitigate personnel reductions and
their associated negative impacts to services.
Performance Measurement
• Continue high standards of
representation of clients at every stage
through efficient management of staffing
and caseloads.
The Department continued to provide
constitutionally mandated standards of
representation for our felony, misdemeanor
and juvenile clients for FY 2010/11.
Unfortunately, in order to maintain the
mandated standards of performance, the
Department has been unable to represent all
of the persons who qualify for court
appointed representation. Beginning in
December 2010 with the loss of three senior
attorneys the Department has been forced to
turn away an average of 44 felony cases per
month. These cases have been referred to
private attorneys who accept cases through
the conflict defense panel of the Contra
Costa County Bar Association.
The Department Head will continue to
closely monitor felony caseloads to ensure
that we are representing the greatest
possible number of referred clients without
jeopardizing the effective assistance of
counsel for existing clients.
• Develop and implement plan for
representation of clients at first
appearance misdemeanor arraignment
calendars.
The department has made progress toward
implementing this goal. We hope to launch
a pilot program in the new Pittsburg branch
court in the coming months. We are
currently moving forward with this goal
through discussions with the new District
Attorney and the presiding judges in the
branch courts.
• Continue to work on implementation of
the new Justware computer system.
The Public Defender is the final phase of a
four-stage implementation of the County’s
new law and justice case management
system. The County is currently in the first
stage of implementation, beginning with the
District Attorney’s office. Diminished staff
resources and the unanticipated retirement
of the project manager and a key subject
matter expert in the office of the District
Attorney have hindered system
implementation. Full system implementation
in FY 2011/12 will be the new goal.
• Create greater efficiency and improved
representation of clients through
development of Appeals and Writs
position.
The department has fully met this goal. We
are now able to provide writ and appellate
support for our staff attorneys through the
creation of a permanent writs and appeals
position. This ensures that the staff
attorneys are able to maintain effective
representation of all clients by referring
assignments that require immediate and
intensive writ work to a senior attorney
available for such assignments.
• Seek sources of outside funding for
improved representation of mental health
clients and juvenile clients.
The department continues to investigate and
seek sources of funding through grants and
other initiatives.
Administrative and Programs Goals
• Maintain constitutionally mandated levels
of representation for the greatest
possible number of referred clients.
The mandated responsibility of this
Department is to provide effective legal
representation for all of our clients. We can
only do this if we maintain caseloads at
levels that enable the attorneys to provide
constitutionally effective representation.
With the recent loss of several senior
attorneys and the expected retirement of
many more by the end of FY 2010/11, this
Department will be unable to continue to
Public Defender
Law and Justice
C3-48 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
provide effective representation for all clients
at current staffing levels. This problem is
compounded by the increasing numbers of
serious/life cases and sentencing
enhancements that increase the potential
state prison exposure for felony clients.
Examples are an increase in gang
enhancements, a growing number of
offenses that can result in lifetime sex-
offender consequences, and increasing
numbers of strike offenses and clients with
strike priors. The inability to fill vacancies
has meant that there is a dearth of both
lower level attorneys to handle the less
serious cases, and senior attorneys to take
on the most serious and complex cases.
The Department will continue carefully to
monitor caseloads so as to maintain the
greatest number of clients without violating
our ethical duties to our existing clients. To
further this goal the Department is in the
process of finalizing a workload index that
will objectively measure the workload of
each felony attorney.
• Work with the Courts and the District
Attorney to Develop an Early Disposition
Calendar
This Department has put forward a proposal
under which low-level felony cases can be
resolved expeditiously at an early stage of
the court process. If effective, this
procedure should result in lower felony case
loads for this office and the District
Attorney’s office, as well as provide savings
to the courts and Sheriff’s Office through the
more efficient use of court time and a
decrease in pre-sentence detention time.
• Continue development of procedures to
provide representation in misdemeanor
arraignment courts
Representation of misdemeanor clients at
the first appearance in arraignment court has
been a goal of this Department for some
time now. Further progress on this goal will
require the cooperation of the District
Attorney’s Office and the branch courts. If
successful, this procedure could result in
lower numbers of misdemeanor caseloads,
as well as savings to the courts and the
Sheriff’s Office. Most important,
representation of clients in arraignment court
will close a current gap in representation that
is not being met by the Department.
• Secure outside funding for adult
expungement work
The Department will continue to seek and
apply for sources of outside funding for non-
mandated services such as clean slate
expungement work.

CAO Recommendation
Baseline Budget Summary
The Office of the Sheriff-Coroner baseline
budget increases net county costs by
$14,669,187. This increase is attributed
primarily to salary and benefit cost increases for
current funded staff positions in the amount of
$10,796,852 and a staff augmentation request of
eight Deputy Sheriff positions in the amount of
$988,000, partially offset by net revenue
increases of $924,045.
Budget Reduction Summary
The Recommended Budget for fiscal year
2011/12 represents a $16.4 million General Fund
reduction from the Baseline Budget and a $1.7
million General Fund reduction from the current
year budget. To the greatest extent possible,
new and one-time revenues are recommended
to mitigate personnel and service reductions.
Notwithstanding these revenues, the County
Administrator recommends the following
adjustments from the Baseline budget:
1. Increased Revenue - $8,484,000
Source: Amount:
U.S. Immigration and Customs $3,800,000
Enforcement Contract
The Office of the Sheriff has increased its
contract with the U.S. Marshal’s Office to house
federal detainees in the County jail when local
jail capacity permits it.
Proposition 172 Public Safety $2,684,000
Sales Tax
Public Safety Sales Tax is increased based on
recent projections provided by the County’s
sales tax consultant.
CSA P-6 Ad Valorem $1,500,000
Fund Balance
One-time restricted property tax revenues are
projected to be available to help close the
2011/12 funding gap.
Kinder Morgan Settlement $500,000
While the remaining half of a $1 million
settlement allocation to the Sheriff had been
previously pledged to match COPS (Community-
Oriented Policing Services) and (PSIC) Public
Safety Interoperable Communications grants, the
Sheriff’s Office was able to find matching funds
from within its current-year operating budget,
leaving the balance of Kinder Morgan funds
intact and available to help finance the 2011/12
budget.
2. Personnel Reductions - $7,918,584
Specific recommended personnel reductions
and corresponding program impacts can be
found on the Program Reduction List at the
end of this section.
Sheriff-Coroner
Law and Justice
C3-68 County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget
In the interest of safeguarding local communities,
the Sheriff prefers to not divulge the manner in
which expenditure reductions will be applied and
will impact public protection services. Suffice it to
state that the impact of nearly $8 million in
personnel reductions following several years of
cost cutting will severely compromise the
Department’s ability to protect county citizens.
In past years, we have agreed to permit an
unresolved funding gap in the Sheriff’s budget of
about $1.5 million that we attribute to savings
that result from normal staff turnover – a
budgetary vacancy factor. To help ameliorate
personnel reductions, we have agreed to
continue this practice, recognizing, however, the
high level of pressure this places on the
department to manage the filling of unplanned
staff vacancies in a manner that achieves the
$1.5 million savings. Allowing for this vacancy
factor leaves just over $5.4 million to be
achieved through other expenditure reductions,
to be determined by the Sheriff.
In order to provide some idea of the significance
of $5.4 million in personnel reductions, consider
that this represents the equivalent of:
22 Lieutenant positions, or;
26 Sergeant positions, or;
32 Deputy Sheriff positions, or;
48 Sheriff’s Dispatcher positions, or;
65 Clerical positions
Service levels in the Custody Services Bureau
are largely mandated, leaving three areas in
which the reductions must be taken:
Administration (Fiscal/Personnel/Professional
Standards), Field Operations (Patrol/Coroner),
and/or Support Services (Crime Lab/Technical
Services-Communications/Emergency Services).
For example, a $5.4 million cut would equate to:
a 20% cut in the Patrol Division, or;
complete elimination of the Office of
Emergency Services AND the Marine Patrol
Division; or
a 33% cut in the Technical
Services/Communications Division, or;
virtual elimination of the Crime Lab (since it
is more than 50% revenue offset), or;
nearly complete elimination (about 90%) of
the Sheriff’s Investigations Division.
After years of cost cutting, there are no options
remaining that do not significantly impact public
safety and the vital support services provided by
the Sheriff to all local law enforcement agencies,
such as communications, forensics,
investigations, crime lab, data networking, and
training. While cities and other agencies pay the
County for direct Sheriff services, significant
reductions to Sheriff Department program
infrastructure and management will affect all
local law enforcement agencies that rely on
Sheriff services and, ergo, citizens throughout
the county, not just within the unincorporated
area.
State Justice Program Realignment. The budget
and staffing cuts proposed by the County
Administrator are separate and apart from the
anticipated impacts of the Governor’s proposed
realignment of the criminal justice system. If the
realignment goes forward, more new offenders
will be housed or supervised locally due to
proposed transfers to county jurisdiction.
Additionally, more parolees will be released to
our county with less supervision. Because of the
state’s high recidivism rate of nearly 70%, the
realignment of state prisoners and parolees to
county jurisdiction will likely result in more local
criminal activity, increasing workload throughout
the County’s criminal justice system. While the
funding formula for state justice realignment
remains largely tentative, the current proposed
allocations for incarceration, supervision, and
treatment appear to be insufficient, considering
that local jail capacity and community-based
mental health and substance abuse treatment
capacity is extremely limited.
The Governor continues to campaign for the
extension of sales tax and vehicle license fees,
which support many local public safety programs
and which will be essential to fund his proposed
realignment program. Likewise, the County is
currently engaged in negotiations with its labor
organizations with the goal of obtaining wage
concessions that would reduce County costs and
help to preserve vital public services. For
example, the County Administrator’s Office
estimates that a six percent across-the-board
wage reduction would reduce salaries and
Sheriff-Coroner
Law and Justice
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C3-69
benefits cost in the Sheriff-Coroner Department
by more than $8.5 million, which would mitigate
all of the proposed position reductions and their
associated negative impacts to services.
Note: The County Administrator has developed
recommendations based on service level impacts
communicated by the Office of the Sheriff-Coroner. It
is acknowledged that the Sheriff-Coroner is an
elected official and has ultimate discretion on how to
best deploy resources within his department using
appropriations allocated by the Board of
Supervisors.
Performance Measurement
Budget and staffing reductions continued into
fiscal year 2010/2011. The Sheriff was required
to hold vacant additional positions due to lack of
funding. This reduced services in patrol,
emergency services, and support services as
there were less deputies, emergency planners,
and support staff to handle service requests.
The Sheriff’s Office 9-1-1 Communications
Center has also been hit hard by staff
reductions. Currently nine Dispatcher positions
are unfunded due to budget shortfalls. This
dramatic reduction in staff has slowed the
answering of 9-1-1 emergency calls; 76% of all
9-1-1 calls are answered in 6 to 30 seconds
(much higher than the 3 seconds optimum).
Lack of staff has also hindered the
implementation of Wireless 9-1-1. Instead of
cellular emergency 9-1-1 calls within our
jurisdictions being answered by the Sheriff’s
Office 9-1-1 Communications Center, these calls
are diverted to CHP, who answers the call and
then transfers the caller to the appropriate public
safety agency. Wireless 9-1-1 is currently in
place in most other Public Safety Answering
Points (PSAP) within Contra Costa County. The
inability for the Sheriff’s Office to implement this
technology impacts on operational efficiency and
citizen safety.
Administrative and Programs Goals
The Office of the Sheriff submitted the following
goal for fiscal year 2011/12:
Secure funding for law enforcement
personnel and services that will restore
service levels in patrol, investigation,
detention, and support areas to effective and
viable levels.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline Budget was increased from the
current year level by $19,915, which is a net of
an increase of $20,625 in Criminal Grand Jury
costs and a decrease of $710 in Civil Grand Jury
costs, based on expenditure history.
The Recommended Budget includes
appropriations in the amount of $15.1 million for
transfer to the State to subsidize the cost of the
local Superior Court, and $2.4 million for court
functions for which the County is financially

County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget C3-75
responsible under the Trial Court Funding Act*.
The General Fund subsidy to the courts for non-
Rule 810 court operations includes judicial
benefits for current judges who were serving as
judicial officers in 1997, collection services, court
probation officer services, legal defense
representation in capital cases, and other court-
appointed counsel.
We recommend reductions in court revenues in
the net amount of $252,447based on current-
year revenue experience and an increase in
legal defense costs in the net amount of $64,537
in anticipation of one death penalty trial. In
better budget times, we have historically
budgeted in anticipation of three to five open
capital cases annually. However, due to the very
tight budget constraints, we are recommending a
budget that anticipates only one capital case for
the new budget year. There is currently one
pending capital case. However, there are
several other cases pending with special
circumstances that may be filed as capital cases.
It should be noted that Superior Court Programs
are mandated and should the recommended
budget prove to be insufficient, mid-year
augmentations will need to be made from the
County’s reserves or through mid-year
reductions in other County programs.
*It should be noted that the Sheriff’s Department earns
revenue in consideration for providing bailiff and security
services to the Court. These costs and revenues are
reported in the Sheriff’s Department budget.
Administrative and Program Goals
The County Administrator’s Office made
significant progress on two of its 2010/11goals
and will continue to work towards its other goal.
The County Administrator also examined other
County models for the funding of capital cases
and conflict defense services and worked
collaboratively with the Superior Court and the
Contra Costa County Bar Association (CCCBA)
to establish cost guidelines for capital case and
criminal conflicts defense services. The County
Administrator negotiated and executed an
agreement incorporating improved program
oversight and cost controls.
The County Administrator is also examining
parking and other court fines to ensure maximum
rates and recovery
For 2011/12, the County Administrator will
continue to work cooperatively with the Superior
Court to develop a service agreement that
clearly identifies roles and responsibilities, both
operational and fiscal, for areas of continuing
mutual service and support.

CAO’s Recommendation
The District’s 2011-12 Baseline Budget reflects
a $14 million increase in expenditures, primarily
from a $6 million increase in pension costs. The
combination of the impact of CCCERA’s 2008
market losses and decision to depool pension
assets by employer had the effect of almost
doubling the District’s pension costs. The
figures include the firefighters contracted 5%
wage increase for the fiscal year and no
increase for workers compensation. The
Baseline Budget would require the use of $22
million in reserves to balance. The District’s
available reserves for FY 2011-12 are projected
to be only $20.8 million (including the upcoming
$2.6 million December 2011 Stabilization fund
transfer).
In contrast, the 2011-12 Recommended Budget
reflects a $9 million expenditure decrease. This
decrease is necessary due to the
aforementioned pension and wage increases.
No increases have been budgeted for workers
compensation – this is the second year that the
fund will be underfunded. Eventually – if relief is
not achieved - the workers compensation fund
will be depleted necessitating annual operating
revenues for compensation payments.
In order to stem the tide, the District intends to
reach this $9 million decrease by: continuing the
de-staffing of one company at Fire Station 1 in
Walnut Creek and closing or de-staffing four
additional stations to balance the budget and
allow for a small reserve to begin FY 2012-13.
The specific stations will be formally identified by
the District’s Board of Directors. The District is
also anticipating the utilization of $13 million
from reserves.
Understanding that there will continue to be a
structural budget problem, the District continues
to evaluating the equipment replacement
program, staffing models, and the effectiveness
of overtime versus relief staffing for positions
required due to contractual minimum staffing
requirements.
It is important to note that capital expenditures
and other infrastructure needs have been
virtually unfunded for the last several years.
Capital expenditures are primarily needed to
replace aging fire engines, fire trucks and other
fire apparatus as well as light vehicles; and to
make significant repairs to some 40 buildings
including 30 fire stations. Continuing to reduce
capital funding to zero will ultimately result in a
pent-up capital demand in the future that will
have to be addressed. However, at the present
time, all efforts are being made to preserve
service levels to the maximum extent possible,
Contra Costa County FPD
Special District
County of Contra Costa FY 2011-2012 Recommended Budget D-5
which means capital funding needs are being
deferred. Any additional increases in capital or
employee cost drivers will substantially put an
additional strain on the District’s financial
resources. On a positive note, the District has
been very successful in grant writing and has
been awarded several federal grants that will
help to postpone infrastructure failure. One
recent grant will defray the majority of the cost of
a new Quint or ladder truck.
With property taxes anticipated to continue to be
flat, the District continues to utilizing its Reserve
Funds. This will make it increasingly difficult to
balance its budget in the future. In an effort to
remain fiscally solvent and to prudently plan for
FY 2012-13 and beyond in an uncertain and
challenging economic environment, the District
has no choice but to reduce its budget along
with accompanying service level reductions.
The District’s upcoming budget and adjustment
process is expected to continue to be dynamic.
Performance Measurement
During FY 2010-11 the District:
• Applied for and was awarded several federal
grants for 1) staffing, 2) capital, 3) services
and supplies; and 4) training.
• Conducted phone and mail surveys to
determine voter interest in a possible parcel
tax or benefit assessment ballot measure.
• Managed to keep 28 stations open on a full
time basis – despite significant revenue
declines – by de-staffing only one functional
unit at a two-company station.
• Continued to work with labor groups to
develop strategies to address budget
shortfalls.
• Developed and adopted a new fire
prevention fee schedule.
• Developed a cost recovery plan for certain
fire and/or emergency medical response
services (not yet adopted).
• Established a vision statement, core values,
and specific organization priorities through a
strategic planning process with a well-
represented group of organizational
stakeholders.
• Controlled personnel costs by managing
vacancies in a number of key positions.
• Continued implementation of the
recommendations from the Michele Drive
line-of-duty death investigation report.
Administrative and Program Goals
During FY 2011-12, the District will:
• Continue striving to achieve a balanced
budget in light of declining property taxes
which account for approximately 90% of
revenue and which has led to a structurally
imbalanced budget.
• Downsize operations and workforce while
minimizing the impact on emergency
response activities, including the reduction
of current emergency service levels and
restructure the organization to realize
savings.
• Develop strategy for a possible ballot
measure.
• Apply for grant funding as it becomes
available.
• Finalize cost recovery program for certain
fire and/or emergency medical activities.
• Provide for an acceptable level of reserves.
• Work with organization stakeholder group to
identify measurable strategic goals to
accomplish the priorities established during
the strategic planning process.
• Continue implementation of the
recommendations received from the
Michelle Drive, line-of-duty deaths,
investigation report.

Fund Definitions
Fund: a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording
cash and other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual
equities or balances, and changes therein, which are segregated for the purpose of
carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special
regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
Governmental Funds are generally used to account for tax supported activities; it
accounts for the majority of funds; except for those categorized as proprietary or
fiduciary funds.
Types of Governmental funds include:
General Fund is used to account for the general operations of government and
any activity not accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for resources legally designated
for specific purposes and separately reported.
Debt Service Funds are used to account for resources dedicated to pay
principal and interest on general obligation debt.
Capital Project Funds are used to account for resources dedicated to acquiring
or constructing major capital facilities.
Permanent Funds are used to account for resources legally restricted so only
earnings (and not principal) may be used to support governmental programs.
Proprietary Funds are used by governmental activities that operate in a manner similar
to that of private sector businesses in that they charge fees for services. Proprietary
Funds rely on the full accrual basis of accounting where revenues are recognized when
earned and expenditures are recorded when incurred.
Types of Proprietary funds include: Enterprise and Internal Service Funds
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises (e.g. water, gas and
electric utilities; airports; parking garages; or transit systems). The governmental
body intends that the costs of providing goods and services to the general public
on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Internal Service Funds are proprietary funds used to account for the financing
of goods or services provided by one department to other departments of the
County or other governmental units, on a cost reimbursement basis.
