SD.1
Board of Supervisors
Contra Costa County
Date: April 03 2012 Public Comment
The following people spoke:
Octavia Mims, Health Services employee, updated the Board on the financial status of employees whose
collective bargaining units agreed to shared sacrifice cuts in wages and benefits in the last contract negotiation:
Ms. Mims noted she has taken on a second job to make ends meet;
Rick Mata, Agriculture Department, said the department has 20 staff people hired as permanent-intermittent,
which means virtually no benefits for them and reminded the Board those employees also took pay cuts;
Ralph Hoffman, resident of Walnut Creek, spoke of the significant health concerns related to the release of
green house gases;
Rollie Katz, Public Employees' Union, Local One, noted the good news regarding the Chevron property tax
appeal decision by the Assessment Appeals Board and mentioned that it would be prudent to provide the public
with clarification on what the decision means to local and County agencies and reliable dollar figures as
quickly as possible.
THIS IS A MATTER FOR RECORD PURPOSES ONLY
NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
