Dear Board Members:
After several years of significant challenge we are starting to see improvement in our financial
status. Although it is too early to celebrate, we have every reason to be cautiously optimistic
that our 2013-14 budget represents a structurally balanced budget based upon cost avoidance.
There is no significant change proposed in net County cost projected for 2013-14.
Contra Costa County has managed the economic downturn of the past several years through
cooperation between the County Board, Department Heads, and Employees to make prudent
fiscal choices, live within our means, and continue to plan ahead. None of this has been easy
nor has it been painless. However, it is through this combined effort that we have been able to
achieve a budget that is structurally balanced for 2013-14.
The Board, Department Heads, and the entire County workforce will continue to work together
to retain the balance in this $2.6 billion (all funds/$1.3 billion General Fund) budget for FY 2013-
14 and beyond.
In addition to the structurally balanced budget, there have been a number of key
accomplishments this past year.
• We launched “Discover & Go”, a web platform for reserving and printing museum passes
online. Developed by the Contra Costa County Library, the program has been expanded
and made available in Alameda County as well. It serves as a new business model
where library systems work together to share and build public services. In the first year
of operation Contra Costa County residents reserved and downloaded almost 24,000
free passes to approximately 40 local venues.
• Also in its first year using LiveChat, a real time chat reference service seamlessly
integrated within the County website to support access to government information, the
Library responded to almost 7,000 real time questions; the vast majority of the questions
resulted in referrals to the Clerk-Recorder, Treasurer-Tax Collector, Sheriff,
Conservation and Development, Contra Costa County Superior Court, and Assessor
Departments.

• Our Treasurer’s Office implemented Check 21 and ACH Conversion for personal and
real property tax payments as well as treasury deposits. With electronic check
processing (Check 21), paper checks are imaged and transformed into electronic debits.
Electronic check processing leads to lower costs, expedites access to funds and
improves collection on returned items.
• The Office of the Sheriff’s Community Warning System(CWS) has made Contra Costa
one of the first counties in the nation to integrate their local warning system with FEMA’s
Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, setting the stage for future integration of
Cellular Mobile Alerting System and the Next Generation Emergency Alert Systems.
The CWS has made major revisions to how it communicates alerts to citizens on their
mobile devices within the County. Alerts are now broadcast to any cell phone within the
broadcast range of cell towers in the county.
• The Office of the Sheriff also implemented the last phase of a 5 year project, adding 922
new Mobile and Hand held radios within the Office, to improve communications within
the Office and Bay Area Region under the East Bay Radio Communications System P-
+25 Digital Radio System. With other Law Enforcement Agencies within Contra Costa
County currently transitioning to this system, this project will allow for interoperability
and improved communications amongst regional agencies.
• We continue the configuration of an electronic timekeeping system with a projected go-
live date later this year. It is important to note that implementation of this system will
include electronic capture of supervision thereby allowing the County to begin to report
supervision levels. This feature will provide key information required to support the
County’s goal of flattening the organization.
Budget Message
The Recommended Budget continues to provide for essential community services to our
residents and minimizes adverse impacts to the community. However, as per the norm, once
the State budget is adopted, we likely will need to consider budget adjustments and will provide
the Board with options at that time. By the end of the current fiscal year, we expect to be in
labor negotiations with the majority of our labor unions. In the last two contract periods, with
their help we have implementing a long-term rebalancing plan to reduce our expenditures and
restructure our service delivery to provide the most effective services within annual available
resources. This collaboration has meant that we can propose additional resources to augment
public safety, public works, and human resources in the upcoming budget and has virtually
eliminated the need for lay-offs.
The County Board, Department Heads, and employees have come together and have worked
collaboratively to address our fiscal challenges. I particularly want to thank Department Heads
and all of our employees for their dedication and sacrifice, as well as 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.
- 3 -
• Property Tax Recovery: The low growth in the housing market continues to impact the
County budget as over 84.2% of General Purpose revenues and 21.2% 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 most other Bay Area Counties. After
three straight years of negative growth of assessed valuation, the County experienced
positive growth of 0.86% in FY 2012-13; however, the majority of cities were still negative.
We are hopeful that we will continue to see property tax recovery to counterbalance the
cumulative negative assessed valuation since FY 2008-09. The County is projecting a 2%
property tax growth rate for FY 2013-14. In years prior to FY 2008-09, growth had been
atypically high and, unfortunately, our expenditures 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. Over the last few years, the County
reached agreement with the vast majority of our employee groups to reduce the County cost
of current employees and eliminate retiree health care costs for future employees. This
action substantially reduced our long-term liability relating to the provision of retiree health
care. This action, in combination with pre-funding virtually eliminated growth in the County’s
OPEB liability. 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 positive
impact on the County’s OPEB liability. Our most recent OPEB valuation indicated that over
the last six years, the County has reduced its OPEB liability by over 60% and reduced our
annually required contribution by over 72% (from $216.3 million to $59.3 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 for the County. The challenge of offering health care options to our
employees that are affordable and competitive will be a significant focus in future
negotiations. 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.
• Pension Benefits: A major issue in FY 2013-14 and beyond continues to be the impact of
the 2008 equity market losses in our pension fund. Market gains in calendar year 2011 were
2.7%, 5.05% below the Assumed Investment Rate (AIR) of 7.75%. Gains for 2012 are
estimated to be 14.1%, 6.35% above the AIR. Over the last two years, employees in the
majority of our bargaining groups began paying a greater percentage of pension costs.
Additionally, we began to look forward to paying off a significant pension obligation bond in
FY 2013-14. Projected relief was virtually eliminated, however, by the pension board’s
recent reduction of the AIR from 7.75% to 7.25% (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 faced over the last few
years was to rebalance and restructure the County's budget. A long-term solution including
a targeted negotiation strategy was developed and implemented. Our office will continue to
work with the Board and departments to review our historical trends, identify service
- 4 -
priorities, and to develop strategies to address any 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: Given that the County receives approximately 25% of its General Fund
revenues from the State, we are significantly impacted by State budget uncertainties. For FY
2013–14, the Governor’s Budget states that California is on its most stable fiscal footing in
well over a decade and that the tough spending cuts enacted over the past two years and
new temporary revenues provided by the passage of Proposition 30 will allow the State’s
budget to remain balanced for the foreseeable future. The Governor’s Budget projects
baseline General Fund revenues to grow by 5 percent, from $93 billion in FY 2012-13 to
$97.7 billion in FY 2013-14. The vast majority of the spending growth is in education and
health care, which has a significant impact on Contra Costa County. The County’s
structurally balanced budget relies on the State not altering the current Health Realignment
funding (see Health Services Department write-up beginning on page B-165). Our
Recommended Budget includes a budgeted contingency reserve to allow us time to adapt
to loss of program revenues, if necessary. We will also continue to work with labor to
develop additional contingency options.
• Capital Improvement Plan: The County has made great strides in planning the
recovery/rebuilding of our infrastructure in order to provide high quality and accessible
services to our residents. It is no secret that we have accrued substantial deferred
maintenance and capital renewal needs throughout the County. However, due to significant
fiscal constraints, the FY 2008-09 through 2011-12 fiscal years budgets included no
appropriations for deferred facilities maintenance and capital renewal from the general fund.
Because there were no appropriated funds, emergency funds were spent as critical
equipment failed and needed to be replaced. These emergency repairs often cost more
than regular maintenance of the facility would have cost. Non-general funds are sometimes
available for special projects. In 2009, $1.0 million was appropriated from the Criminal
Justice Construction Fund and allocated for Criminal Justice Facilities only; in FY 2011-12
Land Development funds were used for a large $12 million dollar renovation of 30 and 40
Muir Road in Martinez; and approximately $5.5 million of identified deferred maintenance
were completed during the renovation.
A comprehensive building condition analysis report completed in FY 2007-08 revealed the
level of deferred maintenance and 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 facilities. The report included comprehensive building condition assessments of
89 facilities and a total of 2.9 million square feet of building space. The report identified a
total of $251.2 million in deferred facilities maintenance and capital renewal requirements to
be addressed over 10 years. Up-to-date status of the deferred facilities maintenance and
capital renewal requirements are in a database, which correcting for inflation currently total
approximately $270.2 million.
The comprehensive building condition analysis report and database is the blueprint of our
Strategic Plan to address the County’s infrastructure needs. Deferred maintenance and
capital renewal projects were categorized as having a Priority 1 through Priority 4 ranking.
- 5 -
• Priority 1 projects are defined as needing immediate action to return a facility to normal
operation, stop accelerated deterioration, or correct a safety hazard: $2,165,000.
• Priority 2 projects are defined as needing correction within a year to avoid intermittent
interruptions, rapid deterioration, or potential safety hazards: $27,391,000.
• Priority 3 projects include conditions requiring appropriate attention to prevent
predictable deterioration or potential downtime and the associated damage or higher
costs if deferred further: $186,933,000.
• Priority 4 projects include items that represent a sensible improvement to existing
conditions. These projects are not required for the most basic functions of a facility;
however, they will either improve overall usability and/or reduce long-term maintenance:
$53,743,000.
Beginning in the current fiscal year, funding in excess of $5 million was allocated from Tax
Losses Reserve to begin to address deferred facilities maintenance and capital renewal. FY
2012-13 projects funded were: the replacement of two chillers that were in critical condition
at the Martinez Detention Facility with new energy efficient units that contain the latest
ozone friendly refrigerant; replacement of the metal roof, recondition of the ornamental roof
components, upgrades/repairs, and foundation wall waterproofing to the historic Finance
Building; and a sewer project at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility.
The objective is to begin to strategically fund deferred facilities maintenance and capital
renewal on a yearly basis with an emphasis on completing Priority 1 projects.
Per Budget Policy, the FY 2013-14 budget process again includes a strategic planning and
financing process for facilities renewal and new construction projects (short and long term
capital budgets) and a comprehensive management program for the County’s general
government real estate assets relative to acquisition, use, disposition, and maintenance.
This process includes funding decisions for maintaining the County’s facility assets, allowing
the Board of Supervisors to weigh competing funding decisions using credible information.
Our 2013-14 recommendations include both currently critical and potentially critical projects.
Ten million has been targeted to address the remainder of items in Priority 1 and almost
30% of Priority 2 with the goal of completing Priority 2 projects in FY 2014-15.
• Facility Lifecycle Improvement:
For FY 2013-14 in addition to funding budget year projects, building lifecycle funding will
begin. Per the County Finance Committee, $750,000 was set-aside on a cost-per-foot basis
for future projects. New accounts were established for this purpose and the Public Works
Department included these costs in their FY 2013-14 estimates (unless the space houses a
claiming department that cannot make a claim for these expenses).
Additionally, every department was encouraged to continue to target Real Estate Asset
Management Program opportunities such as negotiating reduced rents, consolidations, and
moving into County owned space.
• Outstanding Debt: As of June 30, 2012, the County had a total of $634.3 million of
outstanding Pension Obligation Bonds and Lease Revenue Bonds, a detailed listing of
which is shown below. The County had a total of $717.9 million and $729.6 million of
outstanding Pension Obligation Bonds and Lease Revenue Bonds as of June, 30, 2011 and
2010 respectively. The County’s entire debt portfolio is composed of fixed-rate debt issues.
- 6 -
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 continues to shield the County from the risks associated with
swaps and variable rate issues. 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.

• Bonded Debt Limitation and Assessed Valuation Growth: The statutory debt limitation
for counties is 5% of assessed valuation (Government Code Section 29909), but it is
actually 1.25% of assessed valuation pursuant to the California Constitution which requires
taxable property to be assessed at full cash value rather than ¼ of that value. For Fiscal
Year 2011-12, the growth rate of total assessed valuation in the County was -0.36%,
reflecting housing sector weakness in response to the demise of the sub-prime mortgage
market. The total assessed valuation base was $143.6 billion, resulting in a statutory
bonded debt limitation of $7.2 billion and a California Constitution limit of $1.8 billion. This
limit applies to all County-controlled agencies, including the County General and Enterprise
Funds, Redevelopment, Housing Authority and Special Districts. For technical auditing
1 Excludes the $13.1 million of 2012 Lease Revenue Obligations issued on October 11, 2012 with a TIC of 2.68%.
2 The yield shown for the Refunding Series 2001 POBs is the arbitrage yield, not the TIC.
3 The yield shown is the blended TIC for all indicated series, net of the receipt of federal subsidies of interest cost.

purposes, only pension obligation bonds and tax allocation bonds are counted as “general
obligation bonded debt” even though neither form of debt requires voter approval; lease
revenue bonded debt and assessment district debt are not required to be included. As of
June 30, 2012 the County’s outstanding bonded debt was $454.8 million leaving a statutory
margin of $6.7 billion and a Constitutional margin of $1.4 billion. Subsequent to this
reporting period, assessed valuation rose 1.74% to $146.1 billion for the current fiscal year.
• Debt Service Requirement: The County has debt service requirements for Outstanding
Lease Revenue and Pension Obligation Bonds that must be provisioned in each fiscal year.
The following obligations are current as of June 30, 2012. Note that these are County
obligations and do not include Special Districts or Redevelopment obligations (also excluded
are capital leases) and that years 2030-2040 are the average - each year is $2.47 million.

(1) Excludes capital leases; includes federal subsidy receipts for certain lease revenue bonds (Build America Bonds and
Recovery Zone Bonds).
• 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 $9.61 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.

State Realignment: In October 2011, the Governor began implementing massive changes to
the relationship between State funding and management of County operated programs. The
realignment of public safety programs has transferred to counties the fiscal and programmatic
responsibility for many Criminal Justice and Health and Human Service programs previously
administered by the State. Public Safety Realignment transferred oversight of felons exiting
State prison for nonviolent, non-serious and non-sex crimes from the State to County probation
departments and custody of newly convicted "non, non, non" felons to county Sheriffs instead of
State prison as part of an effort to reduce bulging populations in the prisons.
County public safety departments began implementing Public Safety Realignment with the
Board’s October 4, 2011 adoption of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Plan.
Since that time, the CCP Executive Committee has met monthly to monitor the progress of plan
implementation and to discuss the need for modifications, if needed. In January 2013, the CCP
Executive Committee recommended and the Board of Supervisors approved a $20.7 million
program for implementation of realignment services, $16.7 million in ongoing and $4.0 million in
one-time costs, by County departments and through community programming for fiscal year
2012-13. The 2013-14 Recommended Budget includes $20.3 million, $19.2 million in ongoing
and $1.1 million in one-time costs, for the continued provision of realignment programs within
the County.
In November 2012, voters approved Proposition 30, which, among other things, secured a
constitutional guarantee that local community corrections funding would continue to counties.
Although the funding has been guaranteed, AB 109 granted discretion for the allocation of
those funds, including any growth, to the California Department of Finance (DOF) through fiscal
year 2013-14. In 2012, a two-year funding formula (fiscal years 2012-13 & 2013-14) was
adopted by DOF, with the advice of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) and
the County Administrative Officers Association of California (CAOAC), to guide the allocation of
funding by the State to counties. There has been no formal decision by the Legislature
regarding funding allocation methodology for fiscal year 2014-15 and beyond. The Governor’s
January Proposed Budget contemplates $998.9 million available to counties for implementation
of realignment in 2013-14, which is approximately a 19% increase over the statewide allocation
in 2012-13 (excluding growth). County departments impacted by the realignment have been
working diligently to implement programming for the new population; however, with the absence
of a 2014-15 funding methodology in place, it is important to exercise fiscal prudence in the
expansion of programming countywide.

Historical Perspective
Between FY 2002-03 and FY 2007-08, total expenditures for the General Fund grew by an
average of 5.0%. They declined by 2.6% in FY 2008-09 and another 6.1% in FY 2009-10.
Although they were budgeted to grow by approximately 4.3% in FY 2010-11, actual growth was
within 2% and was funded with one-time resources. The one-time resources were not available
in FY 2011-12 and expenditures dropped by 2.6% to below FY 2009-10 expenditures.
Although the current year budget shown in the graph below displays growth, year-to-date
expenditure projections indicate additional decline.

As depicted in the following chart, total revenues began a two year decline in FY 2008-09 and
have been relatively flat since then. Growth of 3.5% is included in the Recommended Budget;
the majority of this growth is from State sources. These revenues are projected based on
historical trends, which have been impacted by the property tax and general economic
slowdown (as described above).

As shown below, the County has struggled with maintaining a structurally balanced budget over
the years; however, both the FY 2012-13 and FY 2013-14 Recommended Budgets are
structurally balanced. State impacts on FY 2013-14 are currently unknown. Appropriations for
Contingency have been budgeted to address mid-year unanticipated issues.

Prior to the housing market collapse, the County had reversed the declining reserves trend
experienced in the last 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 and FY 2010-11, due to
Federal Stimulus funding and negotiated compensation concessions, the budgets were
balanced. The FY 2012-13 Recommended Budget did not anticipate reserve spending for on-
going program expenses and in fact projected a $3 million repayment of reserves from the FY
2010-11 loan to Doctor’s Hospital. The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget does the same.
Fiscal year-end 2010-11 marked a change in the calculation of the County’s General Fund
Reserve to comply with terminology revisions required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54-Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund
Type Definitions. GASB issued Statement No. 54 in an effort to improve consistency in
reporting fund balance components, enhance fund balance presentation, and improve the
usefulness of fund balance information reported annually. The Statement required a revision to
the County’s 2005 Reserve Policy – unreserved was changed to unassigned. The impact was
that $32.5 million of previously categorized unreserved balance is now considered either
assigned or committed. In the following chart, the ten year history of unreserved balance has
been over-laid with year-end 2009-10 figures calculated using both definitions and the following
years calculated pursuant to the revised policy. There was no change in the total fund balance.
The County is still meeting the minimum 5% target (Unassigned Fund Balance was 7.1% of
total General Fund Revenues). Although the graph below depicts a drop in fund balance for the
current and budget year, it should be noted that actuals will likely be higher than shown. Fund
balance is shown as a percentage of total General Fund revenues, which are not projected to
- 11 -
reach budgeted figures in the current year (reduced revenue will decrease the ratio between
the two). As noted, actual expenditures will be less than budget as well.

General Fund Revenue and Appropriations
The County Summary Information available beginning on page C-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 $1.278 billion is supported by local, federal,
and State resources. Almost half of the revenue, $571.4 million, or 44.7%, is dependent upon
State and federal allocations. General purpose revenue available from sources such as
property tax and interest income is $321.5 million. The remaining ‘Other Local’ revenue is
generated primarily by fees, fines, and licenses. Note that the difference between revenues
and expenditures is due to the “repayment” of reserves from the West Contra Costa Healthcare
District (see page B-65 for more information). In the two fiscal years prior to 2007-08, the
assessed valuations of the County’s tax rolls had increased by double digits due to the strong
housing market. The continued economic downturn has slowed growth in assessed valuation
and has reduced most revenue sources.

Our General Fund resources fund three functional areas: General Government, Health &
Human Services, and Law & Justice. The following chart shows the distribution of resources in
these three areas in the FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget. In both FY 2011-12 and the
current year, Health & Human Services represented 56% of General Fund expenditures (Law &
Justice and General Government were 27% and 17% respectively).

Each department of the County, within the General Fund, 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, Contingency
Reserve, County Administrator, County Counsel, Crockett/Rodeo Revenues, Debt Service,
Department of Information Technology, Employee/Retiree Benefits, 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 Employment and Human Services,
Health Services Department, and Veterans Services.
Each department was asked to submit a budget that balanced its requirements to provide
services with the County’s goals of adopting a FY 2013-14 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 on the following page summarizes data for the General Fund. The budget is
balanced and reflects sound financial practices. For example, 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.

described in the individual department narratives beginning on page B-3.
2 The difference between the totals shown here and total general purpose revenue on page B-73 ($3 million) is due
to the West Contra Costa Healthcare District’s agreement with the County. The Board has committed these funds
back to the reserve (see page B-65).

The County is currently carrying an abnormally high number of vacant positions due to
unprecedented numbers of retirements during calendar year 2011 and 2012. The chart below
provides the last seven years of retirement history by year and for the month of March.
Historically March retirements are the highest because retirees must be retired by April 1 in
order to receive a cost-of-living adjustment from the Contra Costa County Employees’
Retirement Association.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 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. As of March 2013, Contra Costa County has been awarded over $77 million
in ARRA funds and has received $76.5 million. Funding was highest in FY 2010-11 with the
County receiving $29.9 million, over $18.8 million was received in FY 2011-12 and $3.5 million
is expected in the current year; however, under $0.5 million is expected in FY 2013-14. In an
effort to keep residents informed about ARRA 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 and programs 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. In addition, the County took advantage of special ARRA bond structures
known as Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds in 2010 to finance the West
County Clinic. The County’s interest cost expense on these $33.8 million in bonds will be
reduced by about $8.9 million over the term of the bonds when compared to traditional tax-
exempt bonds. The expectation when the bonds were issued was that the federal subsidies of
a portion of the debt service interest cost would be fully funded in each annual federal budget.
However, the lack of a permanent resolution of the recent federal “Fiscal Cliff” crisis resulted in
- 22 -
a sequestration whereby across the board cuts in the federal budget for non-entitlement items
were implemented on March 1, 2013. The sequestration includes a reduction of 8.7% of the
federal subsidies that are paid from March 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. In the case
of the Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds, the County will receive about
$41,000 less than it would have otherwise received if the full debt service interest subsidies
were paid by the federal government. Sequestration occurs one fiscal year at a time and it is
not yet known whether a sequestration will occur of Fiscal Year 2013-14 and, if so, what the
applicable percentage reduction in subsidies will be implemented. Any subsidies not received
from the federal government must be covered by the County’s General Fund so that the entire
amount of debt service on the bonds is timely paid.
Fleet/Internal Services Fund
The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget includes a fully funded vehicle budget, including full
vehicle depreciation expense. Requiring the annual budgeting of full vehicle depreciation will
continue to facilitate regularly scheduled replacement of County vehicles, which began in FY
2008-09.
Venture Capital Resources
The Board of Supervisors adopted a Budget Policy in 2006, which included a resource intended
to improve departmental operations and in FY 2012-13 approximately $1 million in reserve
funding was available for technology projects to be used to increase efficiencies and economies
in departments that do not have resources available within their normal operating budgets for
such expense. In FY 2012-13, approximately $600,000 was allocated for projects that ranged
from electronic appointment scheduling software to procurement system hardware and
licenses. In FY 2013-14, departments requested over $2.4 million and the County
Administrator is recommending the full $1 million for projects in six General Fund departments.
Projects include high speed central count ballot tabulation machines, wireless infrastructure
upgrades, file and virtualization servers, and asset management software.
Retirement/Pension Costs - Future Year Projections/Budgets
As was discussed above, 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 an unachieved earning assumption (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. Since that time:
• Positive market experience for calendar year 2009 of 21.9% drastically changed the original
projection; however, pension costs were still expected to increase significantly over the next
five years;
• Positive market experience for calendar year 2010 of 14% again reduced projected
increases; however, pension costs were still expected to increase significantly over the next
five years;
- 23 -
• Market experience for calendar year 2011 was disappointing at 2.7%. Although it was a
positive number, it has a negative impact on costs because it was below the earning
assumption of 7.75%;
• Positive market experience for calendar year 2012 of 14.1% would have improved the last
projection;
• The CCCERA Board adopted changes in Economic Assumptions, which decreased the
Assumed Investment Rate from 7.75% to 7.25%.
In a letter dated March 12, 2013, CCCERA’s actuary issued a report which projected employer
contribution rate changes based on an estimated 14.17% gross market value investment return
for 2012 and other changes in economic assumptions including reducing the expected long-
term rate of return assumption from 7.75% to 7.25%. The projection is derived from the
December 31, 2011 actuarial valuation results, which are the most current available. A new five
year projection will be available in the Fall using December 31, 2012 valuation figures. The
December 31, 2012 valuation will also include new three year updates to demographics.
Demographic changes may impact these projections. Again, the projections do not reflect any
changes in the employer contribution rates that could result due to future changes in the
demographics of active members or decreases in the employer contribution rates that might
result from new hires going into the PEPRA tiers. These modeled projections are intended to
serve as illustrations of future financial outcomes that are based on the information available to
us at this time. Emerging results may differ significantly if the actual experience proves to be
different from these assumptions. The four most significant variables are demographic
experience, the economy, and stock market performance, and the regulatory environment.
As can be seen in the chart, the cumulative impact of smoothing gains and losses for the
aggregate plan is projected to be 8.75% (as of December 31, 2016). These projected rate
increases are implemented 18 months after the actuarial date. Therefore, the projected
increase of 9.24% in in the chart below for 2012 will be implemented on July 1, 2014.
Note that because the actuary estimated the allocation of the rate changes across the cost
groups, the actual rate changes by group will differ from those shown in the exhibit, even if the
plan-wide rate changes are close to those shown below. For instance, the cost of a General
Tier III employee is projected to increase by 6.84% in 2012, a County Safety employee by
16.43%, and a Contra Costa County Fire District Safety employee by 19.77%. 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; however, so
too is the economic impact of the change to assumed investment rate. Presented in the chart
are four years’ of actual data, a projection of the current year (straight-lining eight months of
actual data), the Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14, and a projection based on the
Recommended Budget for FY 2014-15 and beyond (no increases in FTE or wages). A
significant drop in projected expenses in FY 2014-15 is illustrated in the blue line; due to the
retirement of one of the County’s pension obligation bonds. Note that per the Board’s current
OPEB funding policy, the savings achieved ($33 million annually) will be redirected to the
County’s OPEB Trust. The projected impact of increased pension costs and the current OPEB
funding policy is shown in red.

Summary of Impacts
The following impact statements from several of our major departments depict the tone of the
Recommended Budget, which is optimistic. The goal of the FY 2011-12 budget was to make
cuts that would balance the budget in a way to promote future sustainability into FY 2012-13
and beyond. The goal was reached and the majority of our immediate problems were solved.
Due to mandates on service levels, budget reform was enacted primarily in the area of
employee compensation. The majority of our County employees were impacted by reduced
wages and increased pension costs (the impact ranged to a high of 5.8%). Taken together the
County saved an annual average of 5% of wages and benefits, which structurally balanced the
County budget. The vast majority of our labor contracts expire June 30, 2013. There are no
increases built into the FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget. Any negotiated increases will have
to be absorbed by departments. The Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14 includes slight
growth in appropriations and increased general fund subsidies for many County departments.
- 25 -
There was insufficient growth however to fund all FY 2013-14 baseline requests. The budget
includes a net increase of eight positions in the General fund.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Human Resources:
The Human Resources Department services all County departments and is funded primarily
from charges to departments. Approximately 23.9% of the funding is through a direct general
purpose revenue allocation. The FY 2013-14 recommendation includes an increased net of
$116,649 to reflect the addition of two positions: one Human Resources Technician in the
Employee Benefits unit and one Labor Relations Specialist II position in the Labor Relations
unit. An additional staff-person is needed in the Employee Benefits unit to continue to
implement the Deferred Compensation Loan program as there are currently 350 loans in place,
totaling $4.5 million. This position will be offset by charges to departments for Benefits
Administration. The additional staff-person in the Labor Relations unit will support the collective
bargaining negotiations, meet and confer obligations, and assist in managing grievances and
unfair labor practice complaints. The Department has experienced a significant number of
retirements in recent years and additional staffing is needed in crucial areas so that services
may be delivered in a more effective manner.
Library:
The County Library is not part of the General Fund. In excess of 80% of the County Library
budget is dependent upon property tax revenue, therefore it has been impacted by reductions
in assessed valuations. In years prior to the economic downturn, annual revenues exceeded
on-going expenditure needs and the Library was able to not only fund one-time projects and
enhance materials, but was also able to build a reserve. Due to sound financial planning, and
continued diligence in strategically filling vacancies based on workload, classification, and
community library needs, use of reserves was not necessary for FY 2013-14. The Library
budget is balanced and structurally sound.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Employment and Human Services:
The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) General Fund allocation is being
maintained at approximately the same level as in the past two years. The Recommended
Budget does not include the impact of sequestration nor any appropriations for the Health
Benefit Exchange Call Center due to timing of the completion of the contract process.
Increases in salary and benefits are being offset by increases in State realignment revenue to
produce a balanced budget and may allow for some staff additions in areas that have been
hard hit by previous staff reductions. As with all of our FY 2013-14 recommendations, this
budget does not take into account any unknown impacts to funding due to the State budget;
however, we have based our revenue projections on the Governor’s Proposed Budget and are
cautiously optimistic. EHSD is continuing a redesign of how social services are provided in
Contra Costa County to better utilize strategic partnerships and the innovative use of
technology to assist clients and provide more efficient and effective services.
- 26 -
Health Services:
The Recommended Budget for the Health Services Department for the 2013-14 fiscal year
includes an $11.6 million reduction from baseline costs and a $3.2 million reduction from the
2012-13 fiscal year budget. The budget is predicated on the assumption that (1) the enrollment
in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) programs will remain constant with the existing Low Income
Health Program levels; (2) the ACA payment rates coupled with the increase in the Federal
Matching Percentage (FMAP) will yield a return $11.6 million higher than fiscal year 2012-13;
and (3) the State does not alter the current Health Realignment funding. The $11.6 million
revenue increase is utilized to replace a $5 million decrease in County general purpose
revenue and to fund a $6.6 million increase in pension costs.
Management reorganization and service delivery modifications continue to be implemented at
the Hospital and Health Centers to improve accountability, standardization and efficiency. The
Department is actively pursuing enrollment of individuals in the Low Income Health Program,
restructuring the delivery system, and implementing an Electronic Medical Record as part of the
Health Care Reform transition plan.
LAW AND JUSTICE
District Attorney:
The 2013-14 budget funds baseline expenditures, including new initiatives established in the
2012-13 budget specifically targeting the Richmond Ceasefire program, gang prosecution,
domestic violence prosecution, the Family Justice Center, and prosecution of sexual assault,
human trafficking and firearm cases. In addition, the Recommended Budget augments funding
from the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment in the amount of $700,000 to fund additional
responsibilities borne by the District Attorney due to the realignment. Funding initiated in prior
budgets related to AB 109 is continued in the 2013-14 budget for the District Attorney. This
includes ensuring that victims and their families are notified of matters related to the custody of
defendants pursuant to Marsy’s Law.
Although the stability of the District Attorney’s budget has improved considerably, we remain
cautiously optimistic for the future taking into account the continued impacts related to AB109
implementation and general increases in baseline costs.
Probation:
The 2013-14 budget will result in a minimal impact to departmental operations. After many
years of significant impacts to the department by State budget reductions, both to juvenile and
adult programming, the department is anticipated to have a temporary reprieve. For this reason,
the 2013-14 budget recommends a minimal vacancy factor of $641,299 coupled with a revenue
augmentation of $200,000 from AB 109 Public Safety Realignment funding to balance. Funding
initiated in prior budgets related to AB 109 is continued in the 2013-14 budget for the Probation
Department.
The minimal impact to the department is classified as temporary due to the expectation that the
State will reduce, in whole or significant part, funding to local probation departments from SB
678, the “Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act of 2009” in fiscal year 2014-15.
The Act, among other things, created an incentive for counties to establish local evidence
based programming with the goal of reducing the prison population. Counties benefit financially
- 27 -
from a share of the cost savings to the state from the reduced average daily population (ADP)
in state prisons. The Probation Department benefits significantly from this funding stream due to
the robust and highly successful programming implemented prior to and after passage of SB
678. The impact to the County is estimated at $4 million should the State discontinue funding,
which would likely resulting in elimination of programming and positions related to SB 678.
Public Defender:
The 2013-14 budget continues to fund increased service levels established during 2012-13,
which has completely eliminated the practice of referring clients to the Contra Costa County Bar
Association solely due to attorney caseloads. In addition, the Recommended Budget funds all
departmental initiatives funded previously by AB 109 Public Safety realignment, including the
Arraignment Court Early Representation (ACER) program, which provides legal representation
to defendants during arraignment hearings. The budget balances by reducing temporary
salaries by a minimal amount, $88,585, to reflect a reduced need for temporary services due to
the augmentations to permanent full-time staffing during fiscal year 2012-13.
Sheriff-Coroner:
The 2013-14 budget continues to restore services previously curtailed by several years of
serious expenditure reductions in the Sheriff’s Office. The budget augments county patrol by
two Deputy Sheriff positions and reduces the departmental vacancy factor significantly, from
$4.9 million to $1.2 million, allowing for more flexibility in staffing core functions within the
Office. Similar to other departments, the departmental budget condition has improved
considerably; however, we remain cautiously optimistic for the future taking into account the
continued impacts related to AB109 implementation, specifically increased average daily
populations associated with housing those individuals and the potential for long-term
sentencing of inmates in County facilities. Continued increases to baseline expenditures remain
an issue as well.
The Recommended Budget also maintains the services established in previous budgeted
related to AB 109 and increases the departmental allocation of realignment funding by an
additional $1,300,000 to offset expenditures associated with that population. The key role of the
Sheriff’s Office under realignment is to manage the incarceration of lower-level offenders, as
defined by the legislation, in County facilities.
FIRE DISTRICT
Contra Costa County Fire District:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD), a special district within the
County, continues to face significant fiscal difficulties. Those difficulties have been magnified
during fiscal year 2012-13 with the defeat of Measure Q (a parcel tax measure that was
designed to fund a significant portion of the District’s ongoing structural deficit) resulting in the
closure of four Fire Stations throughout the District.
The District’s baseline budget balanced by depleting operating reserves entirely and relying on
a draw of approximately $570,000 from the Pension Obligation Bond Stabilization Fund, leaving
the District in significant financial turmoil entering fiscal year 2014-15. To compound matters,
the Contra Costa County Employee’s Retirement Association (CCCERA) recently changed
policy regarding assumption rates for investments returns – reducing the assumed rate from
7.75% to 7.25% beginning in fiscal year 2014-15. The impact of this change to the District in
- 28 -
that year is estimated to be an increase of approximately $3.1 to $3.6 million depending on the
personnel composition of the department and number of stations in service during fiscal year
2014-15. Recognizing the burden to the community of entering fiscal year 2014-15 with a
significant structural deficit and no operating reserves, the Recommended Budget includes the
closure of two fire stations; one effective July 1, 2013 and one effective January 1, 2014. More
detailed information is included in the departmental narrative section of the budget beginning on
Page B-323.
Conclusion
This budget continues to reflect years of careful, comprehensive and continuing review of
County operations to cope with economic challenges. In our assessment of County operations
– and at every opportunity – we continue to make changes in delivering services that are more
efficient and less costly. These changes, which could not have been accomplished without
financial sacrifices from our employees, have allowed us to protect the services that residents
need and expect from County government.
The County has and will continue to adapt to changing circumstances. Our strategy over the
last several years has been 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”. Our success depends upon
a continuation of that strategy.
Recommendations
This Recommended Budget provides for a General Fund budget of $1.3 billion, and an All
Funds County budget of $2.4 billion ($2.5 billion including Fire). Based on this proposed
budget, it is recommended that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors:
1. Open and conduct a public hearing to receive input on the FY 2013-14 Recommended
Budget;
2. ACKNOWLEDGE that significant economic issues continue to challenge the Board of
Supervisors in its effort to finance services and programs which Contra Costa County
residents need, or expect will be provided to them by the County, especially in a time of
economic downturn;
3. ACKNOWLEDGE that the employees of Contra Costa County have already been
negatively affected as a result of the requirement to balance the County’s expenses with
available revenues;
4. ACKNOWLEDGE that, although some relief is available, that this situation is expected to
continue for County employees, as we work to manage and cope with the outcomes of
this lengthy economic downturn;
5. DIRECT the County Administrator to continue to meet with the County’s union
representatives and employees to explain the size, scope and anticipated length of the
County’s fiscal challenges and to gain their input/suggestions;
6. ACKNOWLEDGE that the State of California and residents throughout the State
continue to struggle to manage the negative outcomes of the current economy;
- 29 -
7. ACKNOWLEDGE that the Recommended Budget does not include any funding changes
that may occur in the State of California’s 2013-14 fiscal year budget and that, although
the outcome is unknown at this point in time, that over $25 million is at risk in the State’s
Budget for the hospital alone;
8. RE-AFFIRM the Board of Supervisors’ policy prohibiting the use of County General
Purpose Revenue to back-fill State revenue cuts;
9. ACKNOWLEDGE that, due to significant market losses in the Contra Costa County
Employees Retirement Association assets in 2008 and changes to economic
assumptions since that time, retirement expenses are expected to increase in the next
few years;
10. ACKNOWLEDGE that the Recommended Budget balances annual estimated
expenditures with estimated revenues in FY 2013-14, and is both technically and
structurally balanced;
11. ACKNOWLEDGE that the Recommended Budget includes a specific appropriation for
contingency, and that the Board also maintains its ability to manage General Fund
contingencies during the fiscal year by use of reserve funds set aside for that purpose;
12. 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 balanced budget policy;
13. ACKNOWLEDGE that restoration of the County’s reserve funds and an improved credit
rating remain a priority of the Board of Supervisors over the long term;
14. DIRECT the County Administrator to prepare for Board adoption on May 14, 2013, the
FY 2013-14 County and Special District Budgets, as modified, to incorporate any
changes directed by the Board during these public hearings; and
15. DIRECT the County Administrator to prepare for consideration by the Board of
Supervisors on May 14, 2013, position additions and eliminations necessary to carry out
Board action on the Recommended Budget.

Dear Board Members:
After several years of significant challenge we are starting to see improvement in our financial
status. Although it is too early to celebrate, we have every reason to be cautiously optimistic
that our 2013-14 budget represents a structurally balanced budget based upon cost avoidance.
There is no significant change proposed in net County cost projected for 2013-14.
Contra Costa County has managed the economic downturn of the past several years through
cooperation between the County Board, Department Heads, and Employees to make prudent
fiscal choices, live within our means, and continue to plan ahead. None of this has been easy
nor has it been painless. However, it is through this combined effort that we have been able to
achieve a budget that is structurally balanced for 2013-14.
The Board, Department Heads, and the entire County workforce will continue to work together
to retain the balance in this $2.6 billion (all funds/$1.3 billion General Fund) budget for FY 2013-
14 and beyond.
In addition to the structurally balanced budget, there have been a number of key
accomplishments this past year.
• We launched “Discover & Go”, a web platform for reserving and printing museum passes
online. Developed by the Contra Costa County Library, the program has been expanded
and made available in Alameda County as well. It serves as a new business model
where library systems work together to share and build public services. In the first year
of operation Contra Costa County residents reserved and downloaded almost 24,000
free passes to approximately 40 local venues.
• Also in its first year using LiveChat, a real time chat reference service seamlessly
integrated within the County website to support access to government information, the
Library responded to almost 7,000 real time questions; the vast majority of the questions
resulted in referrals to the Clerk-Recorder, Treasurer-Tax Collector, Sheriff,
Conservation and Development, Contra Costa County Superior Court, and Assessor
Departments.

• Our Treasurer’s Office implemented Check 21 and ACH Conversion for personal and
real property tax payments as well as treasury deposits. With electronic check
processing (Check 21), paper checks are imaged and transformed into electronic debits.
Electronic check processing leads to lower costs, expedites access to funds and
improves collection on returned items.
• The Office of the Sheriff’s Community Warning System(CWS) has made Contra Costa
one of the first counties in the nation to integrate their local warning system with FEMA’s
Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, setting the stage for future integration of
Cellular Mobile Alerting System and the Next Generation Emergency Alert Systems.
The CWS has made major revisions to how it communicates alerts to citizens on their
mobile devices within the County. Alerts are now broadcast to any cell phone within the
broadcast range of cell towers in the county.
• The Office of the Sheriff also implemented the last phase of a 5 year project, adding 922
new Mobile and Hand held radios within the Office, to improve communications within
the Office and Bay Area Region under the East Bay Radio Communications System P-
+25 Digital Radio System. With other Law Enforcement Agencies within Contra Costa
County currently transitioning to this system, this project will allow for interoperability
and improved communications amongst regional agencies.
• We continue the configuration of an electronic timekeeping system with a projected go-
live date later this year. It is important to note that implementation of this system will
include electronic capture of supervision thereby allowing the County to begin to report
supervision levels. This feature will provide key information required to support the
County’s goal of flattening the organization.
Budget Message
The Recommended Budget continues to provide for essential community services to our
residents and minimizes adverse impacts to the community. However, as per the norm, once
the State budget is adopted, we likely will need to consider budget adjustments and will provide
the Board with options at that time. By the end of the current fiscal year, we expect to be in
labor negotiations with the majority of our labor unions. In the last two contract periods, with
their help we have implementing a long-term rebalancing plan to reduce our expenditures and
restructure our service delivery to provide the most effective services within annual available
resources. This collaboration has meant that we can propose additional resources to augment
public safety, public works, and human resources in the upcoming budget and has virtually
eliminated the need for lay-offs.
The County Board, Department Heads, and employees have come together and have worked
collaboratively to address our fiscal challenges. I particularly want to thank Department Heads
and all of our employees for their dedication and sacrifice, as well as 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.
- 3 -
• Property Tax Recovery: The low growth in the housing market continues to impact the
County budget as over 84.2% of General Purpose revenues and 21.2% 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 most other Bay Area Counties. After
three straight years of negative growth of assessed valuation, the County experienced
positive growth of 0.86% in FY 2012-13; however, the majority of cities were still negative.
We are hopeful that we will continue to see property tax recovery to counterbalance the
cumulative negative assessed valuation since FY 2008-09. The County is projecting a 2%
property tax growth rate for FY 2013-14. In years prior to FY 2008-09, growth had been
atypically high and, unfortunately, our expenditures 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. Over the last few years, the County
reached agreement with the vast majority of our employee groups to reduce the County cost
of current employees and eliminate retiree health care costs for future employees. This
action substantially reduced our long-term liability relating to the provision of retiree health
care. This action, in combination with pre-funding virtually eliminated growth in the County’s
OPEB liability. 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 positive
impact on the County’s OPEB liability. Our most recent OPEB valuation indicated that over
the last six years, the County has reduced its OPEB liability by over 60% and reduced our
annually required contribution by over 72% (from $216.3 million to $59.3 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 for the County. The challenge of offering health care options to our
employees that are affordable and competitive will be a significant focus in future
negotiations. 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.
• Pension Benefits: A major issue in FY 2013-14 and beyond continues to be the impact of
the 2008 equity market losses in our pension fund. Market gains in calendar year 2011 were
2.7%, 5.05% below the Assumed Investment Rate (AIR) of 7.75%. Gains for 2012 are
estimated to be 14.1%, 6.35% above the AIR. Over the last two years, employees in the
majority of our bargaining groups began paying a greater percentage of pension costs.
Additionally, we began to look forward to paying off a significant pension obligation bond in
FY 2013-14. Projected relief was virtually eliminated, however, by the pension board’s
recent reduction of the AIR from 7.75% to 7.25% (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 faced over the last few
years was to rebalance and restructure the County's budget. A long-term solution including
a targeted negotiation strategy was developed and implemented. Our office will continue to
work with the Board and departments to review our historical trends, identify service
- 4 -
priorities, and to develop strategies to address any 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: Given that the County receives approximately 25% of its General Fund
revenues from the State, we are significantly impacted by State budget uncertainties. For FY
2013–14, the Governor’s Budget states that California is on its most stable fiscal footing in
well over a decade and that the tough spending cuts enacted over the past two years and
new temporary revenues provided by the passage of Proposition 30 will allow the State’s
budget to remain balanced for the foreseeable future. The Governor’s Budget projects
baseline General Fund revenues to grow by 5 percent, from $93 billion in FY 2012-13 to
$97.7 billion in FY 2013-14. The vast majority of the spending growth is in education and
health care, which has a significant impact on Contra Costa County. The County’s
structurally balanced budget relies on the State not altering the current Health Realignment
funding (see Health Services Department write-up beginning on page B-165). Our
Recommended Budget includes a budgeted contingency reserve to allow us time to adapt
to loss of program revenues, if necessary. We will also continue to work with labor to
develop additional contingency options.
• Capital Improvement Plan: The County has made great strides in planning the
recovery/rebuilding of our infrastructure in order to provide high quality and accessible
services to our residents. It is no secret that we have accrued substantial deferred
maintenance and capital renewal needs throughout the County. However, due to significant
fiscal constraints, the FY 2008-09 through 2011-12 fiscal years budgets included no
appropriations for deferred facilities maintenance and capital renewal from the general fund.
Because there were no appropriated funds, emergency funds were spent as critical
equipment failed and needed to be replaced. These emergency repairs often cost more
than regular maintenance of the facility would have cost. Non-general funds are sometimes
available for special projects. In 2009, $1.0 million was appropriated from the Criminal
Justice Construction Fund and allocated for Criminal Justice Facilities only; in FY 2011-12
Land Development funds were used for a large $12 million dollar renovation of 30 and 40
Muir Road in Martinez; and approximately $5.5 million of identified deferred maintenance
were completed during the renovation.
A comprehensive building condition analysis report completed in FY 2007-08 revealed the
level of deferred maintenance and 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 facilities. The report included comprehensive building condition assessments of
89 facilities and a total of 2.9 million square feet of building space. The report identified a
total of $251.2 million in deferred facilities maintenance and capital renewal requirements to
be addressed over 10 years. Up-to-date status of the deferred facilities maintenance and
capital renewal requirements are in a database, which correcting for inflation currently total
approximately $270.2 million.
The comprehensive building condition analysis report and database is the blueprint of our
Strategic Plan to address the County’s infrastructure needs. Deferred maintenance and
capital renewal projects were categorized as having a Priority 1 through Priority 4 ranking.
- 5 -
• Priority 1 projects are defined as needing immediate action to return a facility to normal
operation, stop accelerated deterioration, or correct a safety hazard: $2,165,000.
• Priority 2 projects are defined as needing correction within a year to avoid intermittent
interruptions, rapid deterioration, or potential safety hazards: $27,391,000.
• Priority 3 projects include conditions requiring appropriate attention to prevent
predictable deterioration or potential downtime and the associated damage or higher
costs if deferred further: $186,933,000.
• Priority 4 projects include items that represent a sensible improvement to existing
conditions. These projects are not required for the most basic functions of a facility;
however, they will either improve overall usability and/or reduce long-term maintenance:
$53,743,000.
Beginning in the current fiscal year, funding in excess of $5 million was allocated from Tax
Losses Reserve to begin to address deferred facilities maintenance and capital renewal. FY
2012-13 projects funded were: the replacement of two chillers that were in critical condition
at the Martinez Detention Facility with new energy efficient units that contain the latest
ozone friendly refrigerant; replacement of the metal roof, recondition of the ornamental roof
components, upgrades/repairs, and foundation wall waterproofing to the historic Finance
Building; and a sewer project at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility.
The objective is to begin to strategically fund deferred facilities maintenance and capital
renewal on a yearly basis with an emphasis on completing Priority 1 projects.
Per Budget Policy, the FY 2013-14 budget process again includes a strategic planning and
financing process for facilities renewal and new construction projects (short and long term
capital budgets) and a comprehensive management program for the County’s general
government real estate assets relative to acquisition, use, disposition, and maintenance.
This process includes funding decisions for maintaining the County’s facility assets, allowing
the Board of Supervisors to weigh competing funding decisions using credible information.
Our 2013-14 recommendations include both currently critical and potentially critical projects.
Ten million has been targeted to address the remainder of items in Priority 1 and almost
30% of Priority 2 with the goal of completing Priority 2 projects in FY 2014-15.
• Facility Lifecycle Improvement:
For FY 2013-14 in addition to funding budget year projects, building lifecycle funding will
begin. Per the County Finance Committee, $750,000 was set-aside on a cost-per-foot basis
for future projects. New accounts were established for this purpose and the Public Works
Department included these costs in their FY 2013-14 estimates (unless the space houses a
claiming department that cannot make a claim for these expenses).
Additionally, every department was encouraged to continue to target Real Estate Asset
Management Program opportunities such as negotiating reduced rents, consolidations, and
moving into County owned space.
• Outstanding Debt: As of June 30, 2012, the County had a total of $634.3 million of
outstanding Pension Obligation Bonds and Lease Revenue Bonds, a detailed listing of
which is shown below. The County had a total of $717.9 million and $729.6 million of
outstanding Pension Obligation Bonds and Lease Revenue Bonds as of June, 30, 2011 and
2010 respectively. The County’s entire debt portfolio is composed of fixed-rate debt issues.
- 6 -
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 continues to shield the County from the risks associated with
swaps and variable rate issues. 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.

• Bonded Debt Limitation and Assessed Valuation Growth: The statutory debt limitation
for counties is 5% of assessed valuation (Government Code Section 29909), but it is
actually 1.25% of assessed valuation pursuant to the California Constitution which requires
taxable property to be assessed at full cash value rather than ¼ of that value. For Fiscal
Year 2011-12, the growth rate of total assessed valuation in the County was -0.36%,
reflecting housing sector weakness in response to the demise of the sub-prime mortgage
market. The total assessed valuation base was $143.6 billion, resulting in a statutory
bonded debt limitation of $7.2 billion and a California Constitution limit of $1.8 billion. This
limit applies to all County-controlled agencies, including the County General and Enterprise
Funds, Redevelopment, Housing Authority and Special Districts. For technical auditing

3 The yield shown is the blended TIC for all indicated series, net of the receipt of federal subsidies of interest cost.

purposes, only pension obligation bonds and tax allocation bonds are counted as “general
obligation bonded debt” even though neither form of debt requires voter approval; lease
revenue bonded debt and assessment district debt are not required to be included. As of
June 30, 2012 the County’s outstanding bonded debt was $454.8 million leaving a statutory
margin of $6.7 billion and a Constitutional margin of $1.4 billion. Subsequent to this
reporting period, assessed valuation rose 1.74% to $146.1 billion for the current fiscal year.
• Debt Service Requirement: The County has debt service requirements for Outstanding
Lease Revenue and Pension Obligation Bonds that must be provisioned in each fiscal year.
The following obligations are current as of June 30, 2012. Note that these are County
obligations and do not include Special Districts or Redevelopment obligations (also excluded
are capital leases) and that years 2030-2040 are the average - each year is $2.47 million.

• 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 $9.61 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.

State Realignment: In October 2011, the Governor began implementing massive changes to
the relationship between State funding and management of County operated programs. The
realignment of public safety programs has transferred to counties the fiscal and programmatic
responsibility for many Criminal Justice and Health and Human Service programs previously
administered by the State. Public Safety Realignment transferred oversight of felons exiting
State prison for nonviolent, non-serious and non-sex crimes from the State to County probation
departments and custody of newly convicted "non, non, non" felons to county Sheriffs instead of
State prison as part of an effort to reduce bulging populations in the prisons.
County public safety departments began implementing Public Safety Realignment with the
Board’s October 4, 2011 adoption of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Plan.
Since that time, the CCP Executive Committee has met monthly to monitor the progress of plan
implementation and to discuss the need for modifications, if needed. In January 2013, the CCP
Executive Committee recommended and the Board of Supervisors approved a $20.7 million
program for implementation of realignment services, $16.7 million in ongoing and $4.0 million in
one-time costs, by County departments and through community programming for fiscal year
2012-13. The 2013-14 Recommended Budget includes $20.3 million, $19.2 million in ongoing
and $1.1 million in one-time costs, for the continued provision of realignment programs within
the County.
In November 2012, voters approved Proposition 30, which, among other things, secured a
constitutional guarantee that local community corrections funding would continue to counties.
Although the funding has been guaranteed, AB 109 granted discretion for the allocation of
those funds, including any growth, to the California Department of Finance (DOF) through fiscal
year 2013-14. In 2012, a two-year funding formula (fiscal years 2012-13 & 2013-14) was
adopted by DOF, with the advice of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) and
the County Administrative Officers Association of California (CAOAC), to guide the allocation of
funding by the State to counties. There has been no formal decision by the Legislature
regarding funding allocation methodology for fiscal year 2014-15 and beyond. The Governor’s
January Proposed Budget contemplates $998.9 million available to counties for implementation
of realignment in 2013-14, which is approximately a 19% increase over the statewide allocation
in 2012-13 (excluding growth). County departments impacted by the realignment have been
working diligently to implement programming for the new population; however, with the absence
of a 2014-15 funding methodology in place, it is important to exercise fiscal prudence in the
expansion of programming countywide.

Historical Perspective
Between FY 2002-03 and FY 2007-08, total expenditures for the General Fund grew by an
average of 5.0%. They declined by 2.6% in FY 2008-09 and another 6.1% in FY 2009-10.
Although they were budgeted to grow by approximately 4.3% in FY 2010-11, actual growth was
within 2% and was funded with one-time resources. The one-time resources were not available
in FY 2011-12 and expenditures dropped by 2.6% to below FY 2009-10 expenditures.
Although the current year budget shown in the graph below displays growth, year-to-date
expenditure projections indicate additional decline.

As depicted in the following chart, total revenues began a two year decline in FY 2008-09 and
have been relatively flat since then. Growth of 3.5% is included in the Recommended Budget;
the majority of this growth is from State sources. These revenues are projected based on
historical trends, which have been impacted by the property tax and general economic
slowdown (as described above).

As shown below, the County has struggled with maintaining a structurally balanced budget over
the years; however, both the FY 2012-13 and FY 2013-14 Recommended Budgets are
structurally balanced. State impacts on FY 2013-14 are currently unknown. Appropriations for
Contingency have been budgeted to address mid-year unanticipated issues.

Prior to the housing market collapse, the County had reversed the declining reserves trend
experienced in the last 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 and FY 2010-11, due to
Federal Stimulus funding and negotiated compensation concessions, the budgets were
balanced. The FY 2012-13 Recommended Budget did not anticipate reserve spending for on-
going program expenses and in fact projected a $3 million repayment of reserves from the FY
2010-11 loan to Doctor’s Hospital. The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget does the same.
Fiscal year-end 2010-11 marked a change in the calculation of the County’s General Fund
Reserve to comply with terminology revisions required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54-Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund
Type Definitions. GASB issued Statement No. 54 in an effort to improve consistency in
reporting fund balance components, enhance fund balance presentation, and improve the
usefulness of fund balance information reported annually. The Statement required a revision to
the County’s 2005 Reserve Policy – unreserved was changed to unassigned. The impact was
that $32.5 million of previously categorized unreserved balance is now considered either
assigned or committed. In the following chart, the ten year history of unreserved balance has
been over-laid with year-end 2009-10 figures calculated using both definitions and the following
years calculated pursuant to the revised policy. There was no change in the total fund balance.
The County is still meeting the minimum 5% target (Unassigned Fund Balance was 7.1% of
total General Fund Revenues). Although the graph below depicts a drop in fund balance for the
current and budget year, it should be noted that actuals will likely be higher than shown. Fund
balance is shown as a percentage of total General Fund revenues, which are not projected to
- 11 -
reach budgeted figures in the current year (reduced revenue will decrease the ratio between
the two). As noted, actual expenditures will be less than budget as well.

General Fund Revenue and Appropriations
The County Summary Information available beginning on page C-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 $1.278 billion is supported by local, federal,
and State resources. Almost half of the revenue, $571.4 million, or 44.7%, is dependent upon
State and federal allocations. General purpose revenue available from sources such as
property tax and interest income is $321.5 million. The remaining ‘Other Local’ revenue is
generated primarily by fees, fines, and licenses. Note that the difference between revenues
and expenditures is due to the “repayment” of reserves from the West Contra Costa Healthcare
District (see page B-65 for more information). In the two fiscal years prior to 2007-08, the
assessed valuations of the County’s tax rolls had increased by double digits due to the strong
housing market. The continued economic downturn has slowed growth in assessed valuation
and has reduced most revenue sources.

Our General Fund resources fund three functional areas: General Government, Health &
Human Services, and Law & Justice. The following chart shows the distribution of resources in
these three areas in the FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget. In both FY 2011-12 and the
current year, Health & Human Services represented 56% of General Fund expenditures (Law &
Justice and General Government were 27% and 17% respectively).

Each department of the County, within the General Fund, 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, Contingency
Reserve, County Administrator, County Counsel, Crockett/Rodeo Revenues, Debt Service,
Department of Information Technology, Employee/Retiree Benefits, 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 Employment and Human Services,
Health Services Department, and Veterans Services.
Each department was asked to submit a budget that balanced its requirements to provide
services with the County’s goals of adopting a FY 2013-14 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 on the following page summarizes data for the General Fund. The budget is
balanced and reflects sound financial practices. For example, 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 general purpose revenue is allocated to
a handful of County departments; in fact 79.4% of our general purpose revenue is spent in just
seven departments. The table below shows the ranking of Department share (including
Appropriations for Contingencies) of general purpose revenue.

The County is currently carrying an abnormally high number of vacant positions due to
unprecedented numbers of retirements during calendar year 2011 and 2012. The chart below
provides the last seven years of retirement history by year and for the month of March.
Historically March retirements are the highest because retirees must be retired by April 1 in
order to receive a cost-of-living adjustment from the Contra Costa County Employees’
Retirement Association.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 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. As of March 2013, Contra Costa County has been awarded over $77 million
in ARRA funds and has received $76.5 million. Funding was highest in FY 2010-11 with the
County receiving $29.9 million, over $18.8 million was received in FY 2011-12 and $3.5 million
is expected in the current year; however, under $0.5 million is expected in FY 2013-14. In an
effort to keep residents informed about ARRA 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 and programs 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. In addition, the County took advantage of special ARRA bond structures
known as Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds in 2010 to finance the West
County Clinic. The County’s interest cost expense on these $33.8 million in bonds will be
reduced by about $8.9 million over the term of the bonds when compared to traditional tax-
exempt bonds. The expectation when the bonds were issued was that the federal subsidies of
a portion of the debt service interest cost would be fully funded in each annual federal budget.
However, the lack of a permanent resolution of the recent federal “Fiscal Cliff” crisis resulted in
- 22 -
a sequestration whereby across the board cuts in the federal budget for non-entitlement items
were implemented on March 1, 2013. The sequestration includes a reduction of 8.7% of the
federal subsidies that are paid from March 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. In the case
of the Build America Bonds and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds, the County will receive about
$41,000 less than it would have otherwise received if the full debt service interest subsidies
were paid by the federal government. Sequestration occurs one fiscal year at a time and it is
not yet known whether a sequestration will occur of Fiscal Year 2013-14 and, if so, what the
applicable percentage reduction in subsidies will be implemented. Any subsidies not received
from the federal government must be covered by the County’s General Fund so that the entire
amount of debt service on the bonds is timely paid.
Fleet/Internal Services Fund
The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget includes a fully funded vehicle budget, including full
vehicle depreciation expense. Requiring the annual budgeting of full vehicle depreciation will
continue to facilitate regularly scheduled replacement of County vehicles, which began in FY
2008-09.
Venture Capital Resources
The Board of Supervisors adopted a Budget Policy in 2006, which included a resource intended
to improve departmental operations and in FY 2012-13 approximately $1 million in reserve
funding was available for technology projects to be used to increase efficiencies and economies
in departments that do not have resources available within their normal operating budgets for
such expense. In FY 2012-13, approximately $600,000 was allocated for projects that ranged
from electronic appointment scheduling software to procurement system hardware and
licenses. In FY 2013-14, departments requested over $2.4 million and the County
Administrator is recommending the full $1 million for projects in six General Fund departments.
Projects include high speed central count ballot tabulation machines, wireless infrastructure
upgrades, file and virtualization servers, and asset management software.
Retirement/Pension Costs - Future Year Projections/Budgets
As was discussed above, 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 an unachieved earning assumption (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. Since that time:
• Positive market experience for calendar year 2009 of 21.9% drastically changed the original
projection; however, pension costs were still expected to increase significantly over the next
five years;
• Positive market experience for calendar year 2010 of 14% again reduced projected
increases; however, pension costs were still expected to increase significantly over the next
five years;
- 23 -
• Market experience for calendar year 2011 was disappointing at 2.7%. Although it was a
positive number, it has a negative impact on costs because it was below the earning
assumption of 7.75%;
• Positive market experience for calendar year 2012 of 14.1% would have improved the last
projection;
• The CCCERA Board adopted changes in Economic Assumptions, which decreased the
Assumed Investment Rate from 7.75% to 7.25%.
In a letter dated March 12, 2013, CCCERA’s actuary issued a report which projected employer
contribution rate changes based on an estimated 14.17% gross market value investment return
for 2012 and other changes in economic assumptions including reducing the expected long-
term rate of return assumption from 7.75% to 7.25%. The projection is derived from the
December 31, 2011 actuarial valuation results, which are the most current available. A new five
year projection will be available in the Fall using December 31, 2012 valuation figures. The
December 31, 2012 valuation will also include new three year updates to demographics.
Demographic changes may impact these projections. Again, the projections do not reflect any
changes in the employer contribution rates that could result due to future changes in the
demographics of active members or decreases in the employer contribution rates that might
result from new hires going into the PEPRA tiers. These modeled projections are intended to
serve as illustrations of future financial outcomes that are based on the information available to
us at this time. Emerging results may differ significantly if the actual experience proves to be
different from these assumptions. The four most significant variables are demographic
experience, the economy, and stock market performance, and the regulatory environment.
As can be seen in the chart, the cumulative impact of smoothing gains and losses for the
aggregate plan is projected to be 8.75% (as of December 31, 2016). These projected rate
increases are implemented 18 months after the actuarial date. Therefore, the projected
increase of 9.24% in in the chart below for 2012 will be implemented on July 1, 2014.
Note that because the actuary estimated the allocation of the rate changes across the cost
groups, the actual rate changes by group will differ from those shown in the exhibit, even if the
plan-wide rate changes are close to those shown below. For instance, the cost of a General
Tier III employee is projected to increase by 6.84% in 2012, a County Safety employee by
16.43%, and a Contra Costa County Fire District Safety employee by 19.77%. 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; however, so
too is the economic impact of the change to assumed investment rate. Presented in the chart
are four years’ of actual data, a projection of the current year (straight-lining eight months of
actual data), the Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14, and a projection based on the
Recommended Budget for FY 2014-15 and beyond (no increases in FTE or wages). A
significant drop in projected expenses in FY 2014-15 is illustrated in the blue line; due to the
retirement of one of the County’s pension obligation bonds. Note that per the Board’s current
OPEB funding policy, the savings achieved ($33 million annually) will be redirected to the
County’s OPEB Trust. The projected impact of increased pension costs and the current OPEB
funding policy is shown in red.

Summary of Impacts
The following impact statements from several of our major departments depict the tone of the
Recommended Budget, which is optimistic. The goal of the FY 2011-12 budget was to make
cuts that would balance the budget in a way to promote future sustainability into FY 2012-13
and beyond. The goal was reached and the majority of our immediate problems were solved.
Due to mandates on service levels, budget reform was enacted primarily in the area of
employee compensation. The majority of our County employees were impacted by reduced
wages and increased pension costs (the impact ranged to a high of 5.8%). Taken together the
County saved an annual average of 5% of wages and benefits, which structurally balanced the
County budget. The vast majority of our labor contracts expire June 30, 2013. There are no
increases built into the FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget. Any negotiated increases will have
to be absorbed by departments. The Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14 includes slight
growth in appropriations and increased general fund subsidies for many County departments.
- 25 -
There was insufficient growth however to fund all FY 2013-14 baseline requests. The budget
includes a net increase of eight positions in the General fund.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Human Resources:
The Human Resources Department services all County departments and is funded primarily
from charges to departments. Approximately 23.9% of the funding is through a direct general
purpose revenue allocation. The FY 2013-14 recommendation includes an increased net of
$116,649 to reflect the addition of two positions: one Human Resources Technician in the
Employee Benefits unit and one Labor Relations Specialist II position in the Labor Relations
unit. An additional staff-person is needed in the Employee Benefits unit to continue to
implement the Deferred Compensation Loan program as there are currently 350 loans in place,
totaling $4.5 million. This position will be offset by charges to departments for Benefits
Administration. The additional staff-person in the Labor Relations unit will support the collective
bargaining negotiations, meet and confer obligations, and assist in managing grievances and
unfair labor practice complaints. The Department has experienced a significant number of
retirements in recent years and additional staffing is needed in crucial areas so that services
may be delivered in a more effective manner.
Library:
The County Library is not part of the General Fund. In excess of 80% of the County Library
budget is dependent upon property tax revenue, therefore it has been impacted by reductions
in assessed valuations. In years prior to the economic downturn, annual revenues exceeded
on-going expenditure needs and the Library was able to not only fund one-time projects and
enhance materials, but was also able to build a reserve. Due to sound financial planning, and
continued diligence in strategically filling vacancies based on workload, classification, and
community library needs, use of reserves was not necessary for FY 2013-14. The Library
budget is balanced and structurally sound.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Employment and Human Services:
The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) General Fund allocation is being
maintained at approximately the same level as in the past two years. The Recommended
Budget does not include the impact of sequestration nor any appropriations for the Health
Benefit Exchange Call Center due to timing of the completion of the contract process.
Increases in salary and benefits are being offset by increases in State realignment revenue to
produce a balanced budget and may allow for some staff additions in areas that have been
hard hit by previous staff reductions. As with all of our FY 2013-14 recommendations, this
budget does not take into account any unknown impacts to funding due to the State budget;
however, we have based our revenue projections on the Governor’s Proposed Budget and are
cautiously optimistic. EHSD is continuing a redesign of how social services are provided in
Contra Costa County to better utilize strategic partnerships and the innovative use of
technology to assist clients and provide more efficient and effective services.
- 26 -
Health Services:
The Recommended Budget for the Health Services Department for the 2013-14 fiscal year
includes an $11.6 million reduction from baseline costs and a $3.2 million reduction from the
2012-13 fiscal year budget. The budget is predicated on the assumption that (1) the enrollment
in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) programs will remain constant with the existing Low Income
Health Program levels; (2) the ACA payment rates coupled with the increase in the Federal
Matching Percentage (FMAP) will yield a return $11.6 million higher than fiscal year 2012-13;
and (3) the State does not alter the current Health Realignment funding. The $11.6 million
revenue increase is utilized to replace a $5 million decrease in County general purpose
revenue and to fund a $6.6 million increase in pension costs.
Management reorganization and service delivery modifications continue to be implemented at
the Hospital and Health Centers to improve accountability, standardization and efficiency. The
Department is actively pursuing enrollment of individuals in the Low Income Health Program,
restructuring the delivery system, and implementing an Electronic Medical Record as part of the
Health Care Reform transition plan.
LAW AND JUSTICE
District Attorney:
The 2013-14 budget funds baseline expenditures, including new initiatives established in the
2012-13 budget specifically targeting the Richmond Ceasefire program, gang prosecution,
domestic violence prosecution, the Family Justice Center, and prosecution of sexual assault,
human trafficking and firearm cases. In addition, the Recommended Budget augments funding
from the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment in the amount of $700,000 to fund additional
responsibilities borne by the District Attorney due to the realignment. Funding initiated in prior
budgets related to AB 109 is continued in the 2013-14 budget for the District Attorney. This
includes ensuring that victims and their families are notified of matters related to the custody of
defendants pursuant to Marsy’s Law.
Although the stability of the District Attorney’s budget has improved considerably, we remain
cautiously optimistic for the future taking into account the continued impacts related to AB109
implementation and general increases in baseline costs.
Probation:
The 2013-14 budget will result in a minimal impact to departmental operations. After many
years of significant impacts to the department by State budget reductions, both to juvenile and
adult programming, the department is anticipated to have a temporary reprieve. For this reason,
the 2013-14 budget recommends a minimal vacancy factor of $641,299 coupled with a revenue
augmentation of $200,000 from AB 109 Public Safety Realignment funding to balance. Funding
initiated in prior budgets related to AB 109 is continued in the 2013-14 budget for the Probation
Department.
The minimal impact to the department is classified as temporary due to the expectation that the
State will reduce, in whole or significant part, funding to local probation departments from SB
678, the “Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act of 2009” in fiscal year 2014-15.
The Act, among other things, created an incentive for counties to establish local evidence
based programming with the goal of reducing the prison population. Counties benefit financially
- 27 -
from a share of the cost savings to the state from the reduced average daily population (ADP)
in state prisons. The Probation Department benefits significantly from this funding stream due to
the robust and highly successful programming implemented prior to and after passage of SB
678. The impact to the County is estimated at $4 million should the State discontinue funding,
which would likely resulting in elimination of programming and positions related to SB 678.
Public Defender:
The 2013-14 budget continues to fund increased service levels established during 2012-13,
which has completely eliminated the practice of referring clients to the Contra Costa County Bar
Association solely due to attorney caseloads. In addition, the Recommended Budget funds all
departmental initiatives funded previously by AB 109 Public Safety realignment, including the
Arraignment Court Early Representation (ACER) program, which provides legal representation
to defendants during arraignment hearings. The budget balances by reducing temporary
salaries by a minimal amount, $88,585, to reflect a reduced need for temporary services due to
the augmentations to permanent full-time staffing during fiscal year 2012-13.
Sheriff-Coroner:
The 2013-14 budget continues to restore services previously curtailed by several years of
serious expenditure reductions in the Sheriff’s Office. The budget augments county patrol by
two Deputy Sheriff positions and reduces the departmental vacancy factor significantly, from
$4.9 million to $1.2 million, allowing for more flexibility in staffing core functions within the
Office. Similar to other departments, the departmental budget condition has improved
considerably; however, we remain cautiously optimistic for the future taking into account the
continued impacts related to AB109 implementation, specifically increased average daily
populations associated with housing those individuals and the potential for long-term
sentencing of inmates in County facilities. Continued increases to baseline expenditures remain
an issue as well.
The Recommended Budget also maintains the services established in previous budgeted
related to AB 109 and increases the departmental allocation of realignment funding by an
additional $1,300,000 to offset expenditures associated with that population. The key role of the
Sheriff’s Office under realignment is to manage the incarceration of lower-level offenders, as
defined by the legislation, in County facilities.
FIRE DISTRICT
Contra Costa County Fire District:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD), a special district within the
County, continues to face significant fiscal difficulties. Those difficulties have been magnified
during fiscal year 2012-13 with the defeat of Measure Q (a parcel tax measure that was
designed to fund a significant portion of the District’s ongoing structural deficit) resulting in the
closure of four Fire Stations throughout the District.
The District’s baseline budget balanced by depleting operating reserves entirely and relying on
a draw of approximately $570,000 from the Pension Obligation Bond Stabilization Fund, leaving
the District in significant financial turmoil entering fiscal year 2014-15. To compound matters,
the Contra Costa County Employee’s Retirement Association (CCCERA) recently changed
policy regarding assumption rates for investments returns – reducing the assumed rate from
7.75% to 7.25% beginning in fiscal year 2014-15. The impact of this change to the District in
- 28 -
that year is estimated to be an increase of approximately $3.1 to $3.6 million depending on the
personnel composition of the department and number of stations in service during fiscal year
2014-15. Recognizing the burden to the community of entering fiscal year 2014-15 with a
significant structural deficit and no operating reserves, the Recommended Budget includes the
closure of two fire stations; one effective July 1, 2013 and one effective January 1, 2014. More
detailed information is included in the departmental narrative section of the budget beginning on
Page B-323.
Conclusion
This budget continues to reflect years of careful, comprehensive and continuing review of
County operations to cope with economic challenges. In our assessment of County operations
– and at every opportunity – we continue to make changes in delivering services that are more
efficient and less costly. These changes, which could not have been accomplished without
financial sacrifices from our employees, have allowed us to protect the services that residents
need and expect from County government.
The County has and will continue to adapt to changing circumstances. Our strategy over the
last several years has been 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”. Our success depends upon
a continuation of that strategy.
Recommendations
This Recommended Budget provides for a General Fund budget of $1.3 billion, and an All
Funds County budget of $2.4 billion ($2.5 billion including Fire). Based on this proposed
budget, it is recommended that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors:
1. Open and conduct a public hearing to receive input on the FY 2013-14 Recommended
Budget;
2. ACKNOWLEDGE that significant economic issues continue to challenge the Board of
Supervisors in its effort to finance services and programs which Contra Costa County
residents need, or expect will be provided to them by the County, especially in a time of
economic downturn;
3. ACKNOWLEDGE that the employees of Contra Costa County have already been
negatively affected as a result of the requirement to balance the County’s expenses with
available revenues;
4. ACKNOWLEDGE that, although some relief is available, that this situation is expected to
continue for County employees, as we work to manage and cope with the outcomes of
this lengthy economic downturn;
5. DIRECT the County Administrator to continue to meet with the County’s union
representatives and employees to explain the size, scope and anticipated length of the
County’s fiscal challenges and to gain their input/suggestions;
6. ACKNOWLEDGE that the State of California and residents throughout the State
continue to struggle to manage the negative outcomes of the current economy;
- 29 -
7. ACKNOWLEDGE that the Recommended Budget does not include any funding changes
that may occur in the State of California’s 2013-14 fiscal year budget and that, although
the outcome is unknown at this point in time, that over $25 million is at risk in the State’s
Budget for the hospital alone;
8. RE-AFFIRM the Board of Supervisors’ policy prohibiting the use of County General
Purpose Revenue to back-fill State revenue cuts;
9. ACKNOWLEDGE that, due to significant market losses in the Contra Costa County
Employees Retirement Association assets in 2008 and changes to economic
assumptions since that time, retirement expenses are expected to increase in the next
few years;
10. ACKNOWLEDGE that the Recommended Budget balances annual estimated
expenditures with estimated revenues in FY 2013-14, and is both technically and
structurally balanced;
11. ACKNOWLEDGE that the Recommended Budget includes a specific appropriation for
contingency, and that the Board also maintains its ability to manage General Fund
contingencies during the fiscal year by use of reserve funds set aside for that purpose;
12. 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 balanced budget policy;
13. ACKNOWLEDGE that restoration of the County’s reserve funds and an improved credit
rating remain a priority of the Board of Supervisors over the long term;
14. DIRECT the County Administrator to prepare for Board adoption on May 14, 2013, the
FY 2013-14 County and Special District Budgets, as modified, to incorporate any
changes directed by the Board during these public hearings; and
15. DIRECT the County Administrator to prepare for consideration by the Board of
Supervisors on May 14, 2013, position additions and eliminations necessary to carry out
Board action on the Recommended Budget.
Sincerely,
DAVID TWA
County Administrator

CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline Budget
The baseline net County cost reflects a $10,495 decrease from the
fiscal year 2012-13 budget. Revenues increased by $139,233 and
expenditures increased by $128,738 when compared to the FY 2011-
12 Adjusted Budget.
Recommended Budget
The recommended net County cost reflects an additional reduction of $89,748 to
the Department of Agriculture. The reductions are as follows:
Performance Measurement
The Canine Program continues to successfully pass the United States
Department of Agriculture certification requirements. The two teams
continue to work regionally in 11 Greater Bay Area counties and alerted
on a total of 50,294 parcels at USPS, FedEx, UPS, and California
Overnight shipping facilities. There were a total of 1,981 unmarked
packages of Agricultural commodities that were intercepted. Within these
parcels 57 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 13 county canine teams in California versus 6
during 2009.
Administrative and Program Goals
Enforce regulations preventing the movement of the LBAM to new
locations in the county and state.

The County’s employment economy is very diverse: major industries include petroleum refining,
telecommunications, financial and retail services, steel manufacturing, prefabricated metals,
chemicals, electronic equipment, paper products and food processing. Most of the County’s
heavy manufacturing is located along the County’s northern boundary fronting the Suisun Bay
and San Pablo Bay leading to San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING & POLICIES
Contra Costa County has adopted the following Mission, Vision and Values to assist in its
decision-making process to provide a full array of services to its residents:
Mission
Contra Costa County is dedicated to providing public services
which improve the quality of life of our residents and the
economic vitality of our business
Vision
Contra Costa County is recognized as a world-class service
organization where innovation and partnerships merge to
enable our residents to enjoy a safe, healthy and prosperous life
Values
Contra Costa County serves people, businesses and
communities. Our organization and each of our employees value:
• Clients and Communities
• Partnerships
• Quality Service
• Accountability
• Fiscal prudence
• Organizational excellence
Overview
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget A-9
The County is committed to prudent fiscal management and engages in targeted long-term
financial planning when possible and appropriate. Some examples of the County’s current long-
term financial planning include:
• In 2007 the Board of Supervisors set the following specific goals to address the
County’s Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Long-term Liability:
o to fully comply with GASB Statement 45;
o to adopt and follow an OPEB financing plan, which balances the
County’s requirement to provide public services with its desire to provide
competitive health care benefits to our employees; and
o to minimize collateral detrimental impact to the provision of indigent
health care in the County.
The OPEB financing plan included an annual allocation of resources for pre-
funding the OPEB which the County has included in each adopted annual
budget since FY 2008/2009. Health plan changes, caps on county contributions
and labor concessions, in additional to annual pre-funding contributions, have
assisted in reducing the County’s Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL)
by 62.6% since 2006 (from $2.57 billion to $962 million).
• In 2007, the Board of Supervisors also established a Real Asset Management
Program (RAMP). The objective of RAMP is to maximize the value of unused
and vacant County-owned office space by avoiding and terminating leases.
The County has saved in excess of $2.6 million in lease costs through this
program. With the adoption of the FY 2012-13 Recommended Budget, the
Board established a dedicated funding stream for the County’s Capital
Improvement Plan (see Budget Message – Capital Improvement Plan).
• In 2012, the State of California enacted the Public Employees’ Pension Report
Act of 2013 (PEPRA). PEPRA established new pension tiers of 2.5% at 67 for
County General employees and 2.7% at 57 for Safety employees. PEPRA did
not define the retirement cost of living adjustment (COLA). By default the
COLA for the majority of new County employees is 3%. Negotiations are
underway in an effort to achieve a 2% COLA across all groups. These new
tiers are expected to achieve savings over time. (see Budget Message -
Pension Benefits).
To further assist with long-term financial planning, the Board of Supervisors has adopted a
comprehensive set of financial management policies to provide for: (1) the adoption and
maintenance of an annual balanced budget; (2) the annual adoption of a policy for the prudent
investment of County funds; (3) establishment and maintenance of a General Fund reserve; (4)
establishment of parameters for issuing and managing debt; and (5) establishment of a
Workers' Compensation confidence level.
Each of the 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.
Overview
A-10 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
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:
• Adoption of structurally balanced budgets (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);
• 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;
• Adoption of an annual budget early enough (and no later than May 31) to allow
all impacts on programs and/or revenues to be in effect on the first day of the
new fiscal year (July 1).
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 of Supervisors (Board)
approved its first Investment Policy in 1994 and the most recent update to the Investment Policy
on June 26, 2012.
The County Investment Policy is reviewed and approved annually by the 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, 2012. 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 maintain the
County's credit quality." The Reserve Policy requires the County to maintain a General Fund
Overview
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget A-11
balance equal to a minimum of 10% of the General Fund revenues and an unreserved balance
equal to a minimum of 5% of 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 Policy
was revised in June 2011 to comply with implementation of GASB 54 (see Budget Message).
The total General Fund balance was 13.2% of General Fund revenues and the unreserved
portion was 7.1%. The County's audited financial report for fiscal year 2011-2012 confirms
compliance with the Reserves Policy.
Debt Management Policy In December 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.
Pursuant to the Debt Management Policy, the County may refinance outstanding long-term debt
when such refinancing allows the County to realize significant debt service savings (2%
minimum by maturity on its own and a minimum 4% savings overall or if combined with more
than one refinancing) without lengthening the term of refinanced debt and without increasing
debt service in any subsequent fiscal year. The County may also consider debt refinancing
when a primary objective would be the elimination of restrictive covenants that limit County
operations. The Policy was recently revised to add post-issuance tax compliance procedures
for our tax-exempt and Build America Bonds.
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 April 1, 2013.
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 exceeded in fiscal
year 2011-12 and was in excess of 93%. Presently, the County pays approximately $17
million annually to the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund, down from a high of $36
million in FY 2006-07. The drop can be attributed to changes in State law, changes in
employee contracts, and most particularly to the County’s return to work program. The annual
payments, along with a stable loss experience and relatively flat payments, has resulted in a
high confidence level of the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund. The County
Administrator will continue to recommend gradually reduced transfers to the fund, which will
eventually result in reaching the targeted confidence level and freeing up these funds for other
purposes.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT PROGRAM
As part of its long-term planning strategy, Contra Costa County began including its performance
measurement program in the annual budget process in FY 2011-12. As part of budget
preparations, each department was asked to update its Performance Report with the following
information:
• Department Mission, Mandate or Goal
• Major Program Descriptions
• Accomplishments
• Challenges
• Performance Indicators
All department Performance Reports is posted on the County’s website. Performance Report
information is included in Departmental Budget Summaries as information is developed.
Additionally, Contra Costa County is involved in a project to improve its performance
measurement program. In the summer of 2010, the Bay Area Regional Benchmarking Project
(Project BARB) was launched. The project includes nine Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra
Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma. All
participant counties currently have some level of performance measurement program.
The intent of Project BARB is to provide regional data than can be used by all participating
jurisdictions to learn from each other, evaluate performance, improve management practices
and inform goal-setting. Specifically, comparing performance data among the nine Bay Area
counties will:
1. Establish Bay Area averages or norms that can be used to inform goal setting
and resource allocations by participating jurisdictions;
2. Identify best practices that can help to improve operations and service delivery;
3. Provide valid and reliable data to aid in decision-making and resource allocation;
4. Serve as a catalyst for enhancing inter-county communications and sparking new
ideas; and
5. Provide a professional development opportunity for staff to work with their peers
in other counties.
Phase I of Project BARB, Community Measures, has been completed and a report issued in
February of 2012. As part of Phase I, statistical profiles were compiled for each participating
county to provide context in determining comparability for the Project. The Phase I Report
identified seven Community Measures, with corresponding goal areas, as community indicators
of interest to all counties. Data was collected for each goal area and a Bay Area average
provided as a regional benchmark for each indicator. Phase II of the BARB, Internal Services
Measures, was not completed due to personnel resource issues and conflicts in measurements.
Public Safety Measures, which were begun in 2012 were not completed.
In March, 2013 the BARB group met to discuss problems related to regional measurement
comparisons and to receive a related presentation from the International City/County
Management Association (ICMA). ICMA was founded in 1914 to build better, more livable
communities by advancing the professional management of local governments worldwide.
ICMA exists to service professionals in their work to advance excellence in local governance
Overview
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget A-13
and improve quality of life. IMCA provides programs, publications, and services that identify
leading practices and address the needs of city, county, town and township governments. The
ICMA presentation to the BARB covered performance management systems and consortium
services. The BARB group is considering joining ICMA. Four counties, including Contra Costa,
have confirmed plans to join. Minimally, BARB would receive consortium services to develop
measures regarding criminal justice and recidivism for use in AB109 programs. The state has
not issued specific performance reporting requirements and measure definitions for AB109
programs. This consortium would standardize all participating counties measurement practices
(e.g. define recidivism and standardize what's counted in recidivism rate) and calculate
benchmarks for comparative analysis, which could lead to learning about what is working in
other counties/best practices so we can develop and improve our own AB109 strategies.
Additionally, ICMA would establish a BARB consortium dataset to facilitate completion of the
original BARB goals. Information from Project BARB will post on the County’s website with the
department’s Performance Reports as it is developed.

Overview
A-16 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended 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 and presents a
report 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. The County Administrator
also recommends any actions that are necessary to ensure a healthy budget status at the end
of the fiscal year.
Supplemental appropriations, which are normally financed by unanticipated revenues during the
year, and any amendments or transfers of appropriations between summary accounts or
departments, require approval by the Board of Supervisors. Pursuant to a Board of Supervisor’s
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 appropriations
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 another General Fund department, such as the Facilities
Maintenance Section of Public Works – this would represent a transfer between General Fund
budget units for services performed.
Budgets are adopted on the modified accrual basis. Accounting policies used in preparation of
the County’s 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 when the fund liability is incurred. Proprietary funds use the accrual 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
The Department of Agriculture has a number of
Standard Agreements and other revenue
distributions from the California Department of
Food & Agriculture (CDFA) and the Department
of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) as well as pass –
through money from the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). These
revenue streams continue to be unstable. In
order to prevent layoffs, the Department of
Agriculture has held 1.5 FTE positions vacant
and will continue to do so until the revenue
streams stabilize.
The County Administrator’s Office is
recommending no reduction to the Department
of Agriculture’s baseline budget. Any additional
cuts would place unclaimed gas tax revenue in
jeopardy. California Food and Agricultural Code
(FAC) Section 224 (g) states that counties must
maintain a certain level of County General Fund
support or risk the loss of unclaimed gas tax
revenue.
Performance Measurement
• The Canine Program continues to successfully
pass the United States Department of
Agriculture certification requirements. The two
teams continue to work regionally in 12
Greater Bay Area counties and alerted on a
total of 35,637 parcels at USPS, FedEx, and
UPS. There were a total of 2,261 unmarked
packages of Agricultural commodities that
were intercepted. Within these parcels, 89
pests were discovered which were rated as
serious exotic pests. The Canine Program
has successfully expanded to include two U.S.
Post Office facilities.
Two new infestation sites of the A-rated pest,
Japanese Dodder, were found in 2012 on
residential properties. All infested plant
material was removed from these properties
and monitoring of the 46 previously infested
properties continues to assure eradication of
this serious pest.
The Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter / Pierce’s
Disease Control Program continues to be a
very successful program in Contra Costa
County. With the eradication of the
sharpshooter in 2003 and the prevention of
any new infestations to date, we have greatly
benefited the agriculture and horticultural
communities. Though there was some
reduction in this state contract increased
efficiencies in our program have resulted in
retaining the effectiveness of the program.
The California Department of Food and
Agriculture (CDFA) has continued the Asian
Citrus Psyllid (ACP) and European Grape Vine
Moth (EGVM) detection programs contracts
with the department. Currently, ACP has been
detected in Southern California. EGVM has
been successfully eradicated from several
counties that had outlying incipient
Agriculture
General Government
B-6 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
infestations. Only an infestation core area in
Napa County remains. There have been no
EGVM or ACP finds in Contra Costa County.
Our countywide pest detection program
revealed no finds or infestations of exotic non-
endemic species of fruit flies or other targeted
agricultural pests. Our department places and
services 16 different types of exotic insect
traps with a total of 6,800 individual traps.
Several neighboring Bay Area counties did
have infestations that resulted in eradication
projects; our lack of finds pays tribute to the
efforts of our diligent inspectors and canine
teams.
Although Contra Costa county is generally
infested with the plant pathogen responsible
for Sudden Oak Death (Phytopthora
ramorum), our program, after intensive
sampling, found all shipping nurseries in
compliance and completely free of this
pathogen. Our inspections allow these
nurseries to ship to un-infested areas within
California and other States and Countries.
Our pesticide use enforcement program
involves inspections of operations by growers,
pest control operators, agencies and others
that use and store pesticides. The program
involved 583 inspections and 29 investigations
of alleged misuse or exposure. Education is a
basic component of our enforcement program.
Besides one-on-one interaction with many
growers, operators and agencies, we reached
849 individuals through 35 training sessions,
some of which were given in Spanish.
The Weights & Measures Division filed 67
administrative actions in the past year; forty-
five actions involved repetitive pricing errors at
retails sales outlets. One involved an
unlicensed weighing and measuring device
service agent. These actions serve to protect
consumers in the county. Additionally, there
were two District Attorney pricing error cases
that settled that involving $10,192 in investi-
gative cost recovery for work performed by our
department. These actions underscore the
importance of our Price Verification Program.
• Under the leadership of Janet Caprile,
Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor, in
collaboration with Ag Department biologists
and Master Gardeners, Cooperative Extension
implemented an aggressive Cherry Buckskin
eradication program. Teams surveyed over
600 acres and found the disease confined in
only one orchard. Cherries are a $5.8 million
crop in Contra Costa County.
The Cooperative Extension nutrition education
program provides science-based information
to promote a healthy lifestyle free from chronic
disease. We teach families and youth healthful
ways of eating; where food comes from; how
to stretch food dollars; and how to prepare
simple, healthful meals. We also offer two
financial literacy curricula, Making Every
Dollar Count (for adults) and Money Talks (for
Teens) to help residents better handle their
resources.
Trained/managed 200 Master Gardener
volunteers who contributed 15,800 hours
(valued by the Independent Sector at
$368,000) 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.
The Cooperative Extension’s Nutrition, Family
and Consumer Sciences Program involved
the training of 124 local teachers who deliver
nutrition education in their pre-K through 12th
grade classrooms mostly in low income areas.
The nutritional awareness success of the
program is documented. Fourteen of the
teachers enhanced their programs with
container gardens.
Enrolled 460 youth and 151 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 gardening.
Participants contributed 11,325 volunteer
hours to club projects and community service
which equates to $273,838 in community
support. The Contra Costa County 4-H
program is the oldest in the State, celebrating
its 100th year in 2013.

CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost reflects a
$438,181 increase from the fiscal year 2012-
13 budget. This increase is due in large part
to estimated salary and benefit costs.
The Assessor’s Office has experienced a high
level of turnover in the past few years resulting
from resignations and retirements. The
Department currently has 33 vacant positions
out of 122 authorized positions, which
represents a 27% 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, and make it difficult to meet the
statutory program obligations of the office.
In past years, we have agreed to permit an
unresolved funding gap in the Assessor’s
budget that we attribute to savings that result
from staff turnover – a budgetary vacancy
factor. To avoid personnel reductions and
permit an augmentation to current staffing
levels in the new fiscal year, we have agreed
to continue this practice and have increased
the vacancy factor to $581,914 based upon
recent turnover experience. We recognize,
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 $581,914 savings. We have
advised the Assessor to continue to recruit
aggressively in order to maximize staffing
within authorized levels. Should the
Assessor’s Office not achieve the budgeted
vacancy factor, we will return to the Board
later in the fiscal year with a recommendation
for a budgetary augmentation.

CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline Budget
The baseline net County cost represents a
$44,690 increase over the FY 2012-13 Adjusted
Budget.
Salary and benefit costs increased by $241,634,
mainly due to increased costs for retirement
benefits. Other operating costs increased by
$141,680. This includes the new charge for
Building Lifecycle costs and an estimated
decrease for expenditure transfers.
Revenues are estimated to increase overall by
$338,624.
Recommended Budget
The County Administrator is recommending no
reduction to the Auditor-Controller’s baseline
budget. The recommended net County cost will
provide the funding necessary to maintain
mandated services in FY 2013-14.

memberships in the California State Association
of Counties (CSAC), Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG), Urban County Caucus
(UCC) and National Association of Counties
(NACO). Services and Supplies also include
electronic support of the County Code as well as
funding for the Countywide Single Audit.
The County Administrator is recommending no
reduction to the Board of Supervisor’s baseline
budget. The difference in net County cost
between prior year and current year is due to
appropriations of fund balance in Board
Mitigation Programs. These funds will be added
to fiscal year 2013-14 at the end of the current
year when final amounts are known.

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 $101,327 increase over the fiscal
year 2012-13 Adjusted Budget. This increase is
the result of increased salary and benefit costs
($89,160) due to the addition of a position as
well as decrease department operating costs
(17,933). Additionally, there was a decrease in
Assessment Appeals revenue ($30,100). One
of the largest sources of revenue for the Clerk of
the Board’s Office is assessment appeals. As
the housing market has stabilized the number of
requests for an assessment appeal has dropped
significantly.
The County Administrator is recommending a
net reduction of $11,123 in fiscal year 2013-
14. The reduction will require the Clerk of the
Board’s Office to limit their contracts for
temporary help as well as delay minor software
purchases.
Impact: The recommended net County cost will
provide a minimum level of general fund
resources needed to maintain mandated
services in fiscal year 2013-14.

Local Agency Formation Commission
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 remained at the
same level as the current year. The level of
appropriations reflects the anticipated County’s
share of LAFCO activity for fiscal year 2013-14.
These activities include: Municipal Service
Reviews; Sphere of Influence applications; and
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 2013-14. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg
LAFCO Reorganization Act of 2000 requires that
LAFCO’s operating costs be shared equally
among 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

and improve vital records, redact Social Security
numbers from public documents and set up and
maintain an electronic recording program. Fund
balance is appropriated each year, resulting in

CAO’s Recommendation
For the Clerk-Recorder/Elections Department
general fund budgets, baseline expenditures
reflect a $1,558,423 decrease over FY 2012-13.
This expenditure decrease is because costs will
be less than those for conducting the
Presidential Election in November 2012.
Salaries and benefits decreased due to moving
one position to be funded by the Electronic
Recording Delivery System (dedicated trust
fund) as well as establishing a vacancy factor in
baseline of $480,631 to recognize the savings
achieved from the time required to recruit new
personnel for vacancies in the Clerk-Recorder
Division.
The Clerk-Recorder/Elections Department
general fund revenue is projected to decrease
by $1,587,205, which is primarily attributed to
$750,000 in decreased revenues from
suspended SB90 or other State reimbursements
and the fact that elections during this election
cycle generates little revenue, compared to the
amount of required expenditures for conducting
the elections.
The Recorders negative net county cost offsets
a portion of the elections net county cost for the
upcoming year.
Performance Measurements
• The Clerk-Recorder-Elections Department has
completed redistricting for our Congressional,
State Senate and Assembly Districts. We
went from seven State and Federal district
combinations during the 2001 redistricting to
15 State and Federal district combinations.
• The Department has negotiated with our
election vendor (ES&S), to train and certify our
own staff to perform routine maintenance on
most of our voting equipment. This saves
over contracting with the vendor for these
services.
• The Department has completed the Social
Security Redaction program ahead of State
timelines.
• The Clerk-Recorder Division implemented
electronic recording on October 1, 2012. This
culminated a goal we have had since 1997.
We are currently recording 25% of our volume
by electronic recording. We were able to
move one position off of general fund onto this
dedicated budget.
• We are in the 6th year of occupancy of our
“new” building. We have yet to complete our
signage program; and plan to do so in FY
2013-14.
• We have successfully launched a Real Estate
Fraud Notification Program in conjunction with
Clerk-Recorder/Elections
General Government
B-30 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
the District Attorney and Assessor. A case of
fraud was identified within the first few weeks
of the program, and the case was prosecuted.
• The Department successfully prepared for and
conducted the June 2012 Presidential Primary
Election and the November 2012 Presidential
General Election as well as several small
district elections.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Transition to new leadership in the
Department, as well as both divisions. A
new County Clerk-Recorder took office on
April 1, 2013 after the retirement of Steve
Weir. Both of the Division Chiefs have also
recently retired. Only one administrative
staff member remains from the team that
has been in place for more than a decade.
• Conduct the November 5, 2013 Uniform
District Election Law (UDEL) Election, the
June 3, 2014 Statewide Gubernatorial
Primary Election and several small special
elections.
• Continue to participate (with the District
Attorney and Assessor) in our Real Estate
Fraud Notification Program in the Clerk-
Recorder Division.
• Continue with the Clerk-Recorder Division
personnel reorganization and department
training program. This program has been
met with enthusiasm from our staff. We are
working to bring the same training
components to the Election Division in the
future. In addition, we are looking at
opportunities to share staff across the
Division lines. Our management and
supervisorial team is excited about this
prospect.
• We continue to be involved with establishing
and updating Election and Clerk-Recorder
laws at the State and federal level.
• We continue to aggressively pursue
reimbursement for services provided, such
as mandated election costs. We have had
to face the hard reality of performing some
mandates (permanent vote-by-mail) without
State reimbursement. While this is counter
to County policy, we have had to make a
hard business and economic decision to
continue the service without State
reimbursement. The alternative is more
costly in the long run.
• Continue to pursue ways to utilize 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.
• Look for new sources of revenue and areas
of potential savings in the operations of both
divisions.

CAO’s Recommendation
Land Development Fund
DCD’s operations are funded primarily through
the Land Development Fund (programs funded
in the General Fund are discussed separately
below.)
Baseline Budget Adjustments
DCD’s baseline request for 2013-14 is
$27,069,720, a reduction of $1,154,915 from FY
2012-13. Despite modest increases in salaries/
benefits, services/supplies and fixed assets, the
baseline budget has been reduced in part due to
lower occupancy and other charges realized by
the consolidation of several DCD offices to a
central location at 30/40 Muir Road. DCD also
anticipates a higher level of expenditure
transfers.
It is noteworthy that in fiscal year 2013-14, the
Weatherization program will operate on a
smaller scale with the loss of ARRA and EECBG
funding. However, with the downsizing of
Weatherization, DCD was able to secure a
$50,000 BayRen grant to operate the Energy
Upgrade Program. This program will
complement the Weatherization program. The
plant acquisition program within the Land
Development Fund has been fully expended due
to project completion and no appropriation is
requested for FY 2013-14.
Conservation and Development
General Government
B-46 County of Contra Costa FY 2013–2014 Recommended Budget
Recommended Budget
DCD will further reduce its expenditures in fiscal
year 2013-14 by $804,621 with the proposed
reduction of nine vacant positions to respond to
loss of funding in Weatherization and Successor
Agency. The recommended budget of
$26,265,099 reflects this staffing adjustment.
DCD relies entirely on outside revenue sources
(such as construction permits, land development
fees, inspection fees, and franchise fees) to fund
its Land Development operations. DCD
revenues are closely tied to economic factors
affecting development activities by private
parties. While reasonable assumptions and
trends are considered in projecting DCD
revenue estimates for FY 2013-14, actual
revenues will depend on several economic
variables. DCD will be closely monitoring its
revenue trends during FY 2013-14.
General Fund Programs
DCD administers numerous programs which
operate in the General Fund, including Keller
Canyon Mitigation and Housing Rehabilitation,
which are local discretionary grant programs,
and a variety of Federal grant programs.
DCD’s baseline and recommended General
Fund budget is $15,092,040, a reduction of
$1,660,891 from FY 2012-13. While two HUD
programs (Emergency Shelter and Home Block
grant) are expected to receive a total funding
increase of approximately $1.16 million, this
increase is offset by the loss of funding from
ARRA and CDBG-R which totals approximately
$2.8 million, resulting in the net reduction of $1.6
million in the general fund budget for FY 2013-
14. The loss of ARRA and CDBG-R funding will
result in the elimination of the ARRA-EECBG
project and the ARRA-HPRP/CDBG-R program.
With respect to the two local grant programs
funded by General Fund revenues, the
FY 2013-14 recommended budget for the Keller
Canyon Mitigation program assumes a steady
revenue of $1.2 million and appropriates an
equivalent amount for expenditures.
The Housing Rehabilitation program anticipates
a modest reduction in FY 2013-14 in part due to
staff restructuring. DCD will continue to closely
monitor this program to ensure that it remains
financially sustainable.
Other Special Revenue Programs
DCD administers funds for the Abandoned
Vehicle Abatement Service Authority (AVA)
collection and disbursement of State funds to
the City and County for reimbursement of costs
related to the abatement of abandoned vehicles.
In FY 2012-13 the Auditor determined that this
County Special Fund be designated as a New
Agency Fund. DCD will continue to administer
the collection and disbursement of State funds
to the City and County.
Performance Measurements
DCD identified the following administrative and
program goals in FY 2012-13 and below is a
report on the outcomes:
• Continue the restructuring of the
Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP)
to achieve a more financially sustainable
program.
In FY 2012-13, DCD implemented a staff
restructuring for the NPP Program to reduce
costs and increase efficiency. The Program is
now operating on a more financially sustainable
basis. Productivity is increasing, with more
homes served compared to the prior year. DCD
projects 40 homes will receive assistance by the
end of this fiscal year. The average amount of
loans has also been increased, fees have been
restructured and another funding source (CDBG
revolving loan) was identified to help manage
loan portfolios.
• Ensure a smooth close-out of ARRA/
Weatherization and transition program to
meet current funding level.
DCD successfully completed ARRA close-out
activities for the Weatherization Program and
fully completed audits of the Program by State
and federal regulators with no significant
findings. DCD implemented a staff reduction
plan to match reduced funding level and
workload.
Conservation and Development
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-47
• Collaborate with Contra Costa Council to
improve and standardize permitting
requirements for solar projects within the
county.
To support the environmental and economic
benefits of solar power generation, DCD has
collaborated with the Contra Costa Council and
seven cities within the County to reach
agreement on a consistent and faster permitting
process for residential and commercial rooftop
solar installations. This will allow contractors in
all participating jurisdictions to have a consistent
standard for permit requirements for solar
projects, to reduce costs for local contractors
and to receive more convenient, efficient and
expeditious process.
• Expedite the processing of certain
applications like home occupations and tree
permits. Goal is a 30% reduction in
processing time.
DCD implemented a pilot project on January 1,
2013 for home occupations wherein the
processing time has been reduced from 3-4
months to 4 weeks; a 75% reduction. Average
cost of processing fees has also been reduced
significantly, from approximately $900 to less
than $300. The Department has completed the
revised home occupation ordinance which has
been approved by the County Planning
Commission and is scheduled for the Board’s
consideration. The new ordinance will allow a
majority of home occupations to be
administratively approved over the counter. DCD
staff is working on a similar pilot project to
expedite tree permit processing.
• Improve the Department's county website so
that it is easy to navigate, especially the
information regarding available services,
application and permitting process, and
other useful information to the public.
The website improvement project is well
underway. DCD is coordinating its design
process alongside the County website redesign
process with Civics Plus. As the Civics Plus
template is being designed, DCD continues to
audit the content on its website. This process
includes developing templates, updating pages
with new content, and ensuring content is
presented in a consistent and intuitive manner.
While most of the work is being done in the
background, DCD has made significant
additions to the site, including online permitting.
In January 2013, DCD also completed the
update of our database for vendors that provide
reuse/recycling services to County residents and
businesses. This database will enable the
County to launch RecycleWhere in 2013, a
regional database that will allow residents and
businesses to find information on
reuse/recycling services on-line. The goal is to
provide more accurate information on recycling
services to County residents and businesses on
demand.
• Develop a regional program for coordinating
implementation of wetland regulations with
implementation of the East Contra Costa
County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural
Community Conservation Plan
(HCP/NCCP).
In May 2012, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
issued a Regional General Permit to the
Conservancy that enables activities covered by
the East Contra Costa County Habitat
Conservation Plan/Natural Communities
Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP) to have
streamlined administration of federal wetlands
regulations and coordination with federal
endangered species permitting. The Regional
General Permit expedites permits for activities
that are substantially similar in nature and cause
only minimal individual and cumulative impacts
on the aquatic environment using the “regional
avoidance” strategy adopted by the HCP/NCCP.
The Regional General Permit is part of an
overall strategy envisioned in the HCP/NCCP to
balance the protection of important natural
resources with long-term economic development
in the area covered by the Plan.
• Acquire an additional 1,000 acres of land,
prepare the first preserve management plan
and begin design for another major wetland
restoration project to ensure that future road,
flood control and other public and private
Conservation and Development
General Government
B-48 County of Contra Costa FY 2013–2014 Recommended Budget
projects have adequate mitigation to be
covered under the HCP/NCCP permit.
During the past year, the Conservancy
partnered with the East Bay Regional Park
District to acquire six properties totaling 672
acres of land for this purpose. The Conservancy
created three small vernal pools totaling 0.56
acres. Planning is underway for a creek and
wetland restoration project expected to be
constructed in 2014. The first preserve
management plan, covering approximately
5,000 acres, was drafted and is expected to be
finalized in early 2013.
• Support the Contra Costa Redevelopment
Successor Agency as it implements the
Dissolution Act which eliminated
redevelopment agencies in California.
To date, the Successor Agency has met the
requirements of the Dissolution Act. Since
February 1, 2012, an Oversight Board has been
established; Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedules have been adopted by the Successor
Agency and approved by the State for the
January to June 2012, July to December 2012,
and January to June 2013 time periods; a $2.2
million payment demand was made to the
County Auditor Controller on July 12, 2012; the
housing assets of the former Redevelopment
Agency have been transferred to the County of
Contra Costa as Housing Successor; and a
Housing Asset Inventory and Due Diligence
Review of the Housing Fund was submitted to
the State for review. The Successor Agency
has completed or continued implementation of
various redevelopment projects, including a
pedestrian, bicycle and motorist wayfinding
system in the Contra Costa Centre Transit
Village, relocation of non-conforming uses from
the Iron Horse Corridor, soil remediation in the
Iron Horse Corridor, extension of sewer service
to the Rodeo Marina, and acquisition of the
remaining parcel for the .75 acre North
Richmond Town Center Phase II project on Fred
Jackson Way. In June 2012, the Successor
Agency successfully refunded over $22 million in
unspent Redevelopment bond revenues which
reduced the Agency's annual debt service
payments from $8.6 million to $7.6 million.
• Update zoning code to support General Plan
goals in Downtown El Sobrante, to conserve
energy and the environment through
improved parking regulations, and to
promote more appropriate development in
the industrial areas of North Richmond.
DCD staff collaborated with members of local
community organizations in El Sobrante,
including the Municipal Advisory Council,
Chamber of Commerce and Planning & Zoning
Committee to develop a zoning program for
Downtown El Sobrante that would provide an
effective and efficient permit streamlining
process, by putting all necessary information
together in one comprehensive document for
use by the public, property owners, business
owners, and staff. The Downtown El Sobrante
Planned Unit Development (P-1) Zoning
Program supports the General Plan Goals
through its Land Use Matrix, Development
Standards, and Design Guidelines.
• Initiate planning studies to implement
pedestrian and bicycle improvements
pursuant to the Specific Plans for the
unincorporated areas surrounding the
Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre and
Pittsburg/Bay Point BART stations.
The County received a Measure J planning
grant from the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority to fund a city-county study to identify
bicycle and pedestrian facility upgrades on Treat
Boulevard across the I-680 freeway between the
Contra Costa Centre Transit Village and North
Main Street. This study will be initiated in 2014.
The County received a Bicycle, Pedestrian and
Trail Facility grant from the Contra Costa
Transportation Authority to fund a Project Study
Report for the Bailey Road/State Route 4
Interchange that will identify modifications to the
interchange consistent with the Bailey Road
Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan
completed by the County in 2010. This section
of Bailey Road provides access to a BART
station and is the route for the East Bay
Regional Park District’s Delta DeAnza Trail. The
project study report is underway and will provide
a Caltrans-approved project description for
environmental review. Completion of the
planning study is anticipated for 2013.

• Initiate General Plan Amendment studies for
the Vasco Road - Byron Highway connector
and Route 239/Byron Highway Corridor.
In 2012, DCD initiated the Byron Airport General
Plan Amendment Study which will include,
among other things, evaluation of including a
connector road between Vasco Road and Byron
Highway in the General Plan. In 2012, the
County executed an agreement with the Contra
Costa Transportation Authority to designate the
Authority as lead agency for the Project Initiation
Document/Project Study Report - State Route
239/Brentwood Tracy Expressway Project.
• Complete the Appian Way Study pursuant to
the policies of the Downtown El Sobrante
General Plan Amendment and the Measure
J Growth Management Program.
In 2012, the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority initiated the Appian Way Study, at the
request of the County and the City of Pinole, to
determine the ultimate configuration of Appian
Way between the Pinole city limit and Valley
View Road. DCD anticipates completion of the
study in March 2013, with a report to the County
Planning Commission in April 2013 to reconsider
whether to delete the General Plan policy to
widen this section of road to a four-lane arterial.
• Implement state-mandated requirements for
reducing construction and demolition debris
and for commercial recycling.
In April 2012, DCD initiated procedures at the
Application and Permit Center that enable
residents and business to demonstrate
compliance with County and state mandates for
recovery of debris generated by construction
and demolition projects permitted by the County.
• Make improvements to existing technology
to allow the implementation of “e-services”:
a. Allowing on-line access to public records
and information.
b. Allowing on-line submission of requests
and payment for building permits, plan
checks, application fees, subpoenas, etc.
c. Online submission of building plans
In February 2013, DCD implemented the Accela
Citizens Access (ACA) system which allowed
on-line permitting of certain types of building
permits. Additionally, ACA now allows access to
public information on the status of land use
planning projects and building permits.
• In response to a new California law
mandating that by 2020 one-third of the
State's electricity come from renewable
energy sources, the Department, under
Board authorization, will initiate a review of
General Plan policies and Zoning Code
regulations/standards to encourage and
regulate development of renewable energy
resources within appropriate unincorporated
areas of Contra Costa County, including
solar and wind resources. This review will
include consideration of streamlined zoning
and building regulations to permit small to
medium sized solar energy generation
facilities within certain areas of the County
based, in part, on a guidance document
prepared by the California County Planning
Directors’ Association entitled, “Solar Energy
Facility Permit Streamlining Guide.
The general Plan revision is underway and DCD
is currently working on an ordinance to facilitate
the development of solar energy facilities for
residential and commercial purposes.
• To improve customer service to the public,
provide a professional development training
to front-line staff, to include cross-training
between divisions and ensuring that all DCD
staff are knowledgeable and well-versed not
only about their own programs but also
about the programs offered by other DCD
divisions.
This project has been initiated. DCD has
identified a vendor to provide this training. A
contract will be negotiated and training expected
to commence in FY 2013-14.
Other Accomplishments in FY 2012-2013:
These accomplishments were in addition to
meeting the performance goals defined above.
Conservation and Development
General Government
B-50 County of Contra Costa FY 2013–2014 Recommended Budget
1. DCD initiated the Northern Waterfront
Planning Project which led to the Board of
Supervisors authorization on February 26,
2013 of the Northern Waterfront Economic
Development Initiative. The Initiative is
aimed at promoting the economic develop-
ment along Contra Costa County’s northern
waterfront, a 92-mile long stretch of shore-
line running from the City of Richmond to the
City of Oakley.
2. On December 26, 2012, a Draft Climate
Action Plan was completed and released for
public review and comment. This Draft
Climate Action Plan identifies specific
measures on how the County can achieve a
reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions of 15% below baseline levels by
the year 2020. In addition to reducing GHG,
the Draft Climate Action Plan includes
proposed policies and actions to improve
public health and provide additional
community benefits, and it lays the
groundwork for achieving long-term
greenhouse reduction goals for 2020 and
2035.
3. DCD negotiated amendments to franchise
agreement which resulted in the
implementation of automated collection of
recyclable trash to approximately 7,000
customers in unincorporated East County,
allowing customers to dispose of a greater
amount of recyclable materials and
potentially subscribe for a smaller/cheaper
refuse cart.
4. DCD successfully demonstrated to the State
our compliance with the state mandate to
divert more than half of the waste generated
in the unincorporated County area from
landfills in 2011.
5. In October 2012, DCD completed 13
projects funded by the $3.5 million Energy
Efficiency Conservation Block Grant
received by the County in 2009. Completed
projects included energy efficiency
improvements to homes in the
unincorporated area and to county-owned
facilities, installation of renewable power
stations at county-owned facilities, updating
the County’s parking and home occupation
ordinances, and adoption of a mixed-use
zoning ordinance for Downtown El Sobrante.
6. In July 2012, the County demonstrated
compliance with the Measure J Growth
Management Program and Proposition 111
Congestion Management Program to obtain
$2 million in local sales tax and $4.5 million
in state gas tax revenue to support local
transportation projects and programs for the
year.
7. In August 2012, the County Water Agency
revived the San Francisco-to-Stockton ship
channel deepening project, which has been
dormant for years. The project began in
1999 with the formation of a joint powers
agency (JPA) between the County Water
Agency and the Port of Stockton, to act as
the local sponsor and provide local matching
funds for this federally-funded project
administered by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. Working with our federal
legislators, additional funding was allocated
to reinitiate work on the project. The JPA is
working with local industries that use the
shipping channel to monitor progress and
advise the Army Corps of Engineers on next
steps to complete the project.
8. DCD completed the remodel of a portion of
40 Muir (adjacent to DCD’s main campus)
and successfully relocated its Fiscal and
Weatherization units with minimal disruption
to business operations.
Administrative and Program Goals
DCD has identified the following administrative
and program goals for fiscal year 2013-14:
1. Implement activities related to the Northern
Waterfront Economic Development Initiative.
The initiative involves Board sponsorship of
a forum on the future of the County’s water-
front and will culminate in the preparation of
a Strategic Plan for Northern Waterfront
Economic Development in calendar year
2013. The purpose of the forum is to gather
Conservation and Development

specific planning projects and greater access
to public records.
3. Complete professional development training
to front-line staff as an affirmation of DCD’s
commitment to customer service to the
public.
4. Adopt a minimum of two ordinances to
improve the permitting process.
5. The Climate Action Plan is expected to be
considered for adoption by the Board of
Supervisors in Spring 2013. This Draft Plan
identifies specific measures on how the
County can achieve a reduction in
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 15%
below baseline levels by the year 2020.
Following the Board’s adoption, DCD will
coordinate and collaborate with other
affected County departments in the
implementation of the adopted Climate
Action Plan during FY 2013-14.
6. Complete all building inspection and plan
checking work on the Marsh Landing Power

CAO’s Recommendation
The $10 million contingency reserve was
eliminated in FY 2006-07 after remaining
basically unchanged for 16 years. The County
Administrator’s Office recommended that the
practice of appropriating $10 million for
contingency be discontinued and that the funds
be designated for Contingency on the General
Ledger. The recommendation was implemented
to offset a portion of the County’s $45 million
budget reduction in that year. The anticipated
impact of that recommendation was that
appropriations would no longer be inflated and
annually generated scarce resources would not
be required to balance them.
The County Administrator reinstated the
contingency reserve for FY 2012-13. General
Fund contingencies include funding necessary
to provide continued County operations despite
economic uncertainties. As a general rule, a
contingency fund should be maintained at a
level sufficient to finance all issues/items which
occur during the fiscal year but which were
unforeseen during the budget process. Failure to
appropriate a reasonable level of funding for
contingencies would not be prudent and could
likely result in a “midyear budget crisis”. The
County Administrator recommends that the
Contingency for General Fund be budgeted at
$3,110,000. Although this amount is significantly
lower than the FY 2005-06 Final Budget, it does
allow some funding for: 1) any unforeseen
emergency that the Board may need to fund
during the fiscal year; 2) appropriations without a
dedicated earmark to help to rebuild and grow
the County’s fund balance; and 3) appropriations
for technology projects to increase efficiencies
and economies.

CAO’s Recommendation
The fiscal year 2013-14 baseline net County
cost decreased by $3,353,499 from fiscal year
2012-13. The reduction reflects the elimination
of $3,336,521 of restricted prior year fund
balance from CATV franchise fees and an
estimated decrease in operating costs of
$16,978.
The baseline budget also reflects an increase in
appropriations and revenues of $4,485,000 from
the AB 109 State Realignment allocation from
the State to provide for Community Programs
($4,035,000) focused on the reentry and
reintegration of the formerly incarcerated and
the administration of the AB 109 program,
including funding for administrative oversight
and data evaluation components ($450,000).
Performance Measurements
County Administrator accomplishments during
fiscal year 2012-13 include:
• Recipient of the Government Finance
Officers’ Association’s Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award for the fiscal year 2012-
13 Recommended Budget document.
• On March 15, 2013, entered into a contract
with Covered California to be the only
County, in partnership with the State, to
operate one of three call centers that will
assist eligible California residents with
securing health care coverage, a key
County Administrator

component of implementing California’s plan
for federal health care reform. Staff in the
County Administrator’s Office created and
led the interdepartmental team that
developed the County’s application for this
project. CAO staff will continue to
participate in project implementation, along
with County Human Resources and the
Employment and Human Services
Department, which will operate the program.
• Continued modernization in the Clerk of the
Board’s Office including several technology
improvements begun this year. The goal of
these efforts is to make the office more
accessible to County residents who wish to
use smart phone technology and computer
applications to do business with the Clerk’s
office. This year’s technology improve-
ments include: new methods for collecting
and managing the “Statement of Economic
Interests-Form 700” (implemented in
partnership with the County’s Department of
Information Technology and the Clerk-
Recorder’s Office); and, in cooperation with
CCTV and the Department of Information
and Technology, began the installation of a
new content delivery platform that will
manage, store and make Board of
Supervisors information available to the
public using a cloud-based foundation that
has the capability to be expanded to other
County departments.
• Created and led an interdepartmental team
charged with coordinating union negotiations
and labor strategy. The goals of this effort
are to research and develop contract
proposals, for consideration by the Board of
Supervisors, that address union concerns
raised during union negotiations, in the
context of available financial resources and
the Board’s policy directives for
management of County revenue. The work
of this team has recently been expanded to
research and develop proposals for
addressing rising health care costs of
County employees, within the context of
existing Board policies and the County’s
financial constraints.
• Provided staff support for the Community
Corrections Partnership, which
recommended the FY 2012-13 budget of the
AB 109 Public Safety Realignment funds to
the Board of Supervisors and developed an
Operational Plan for the expenditure of the
funds. CAO staff also initiated
administration of the Community Programs
funding, a component of the FY 2012-13
Realignment budget.

CAO’s Recommendation
The baseline net County cost reflects a
$740,822 increase from the FY 2012-13 budget.
The majority of this increase is a result of labor
negotiations. Contra Costa County has
historically tied unrepresented attorney classes
to the represented classes in the Contra Costa
Defenders' and Deputy District Attorney'
Associations for purposes of salary parity. On
November 6, 2012, the Board of Supervisors
adopted new memoranda of understanding with
County Counsel
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-61
the Contra Costa Defenders' and Deputy District
Attorneys' Associations that included wage
increases. On December 4, 2012 the Board of
Supervisors approved a 1.5% salary increase
effective July 1, 2013 and 2.0% salary increase
effective January 1, 2014 for the unrepresented
attorney classes.
The County Administrator is recommending a
net County cost for FY 2013-14 of $2,244,308.
This action will require a reduction of $20,514 to
the County Counsel’s Office which will be met in
the following ways:
• During staffing transitions and special
projects, County Counsel contracts for part-
time/temporary help. These contracts will
be reduced in FY 2013-14 ($9,000).
• County Counsel will carefully monitor
expenses in office supplies, mileage, and
computer software. County Counsel will
absorb costs through delaying computer
software upgrades and operational
efficiencies ($11,514).
Performance Measurement
• County Counsel advised and assisted staff
with legal issues arising out of the
dissolution of the Contra Costa County
Redevelopment Agency in 2012, including
existing obligations, bonds, loans,
judgments, settlements, and contracts. We
are advising the Auditor-Controller on
matters related to the dissolution of
redevelopment agencies in this County and
representing the Auditor-Controller in
multiple lawsuits challenging the
administration and distribution of property
tax revenues to various public agencies.
• California’s Fostering Connections to
Success Act, which initiated a new
classification of dependency (non-minor
dependents) to assist youth in transitioning
from foster care to independence, has
undergone two substantial legislative
revisions since it became effective in 2012.
This office continues to monitor
developments in the law and is working
closely with staff from Children and Family
Services on the presentation of these cases
to the juvenile court to assure statutory
compliance.
• In 2012, County Counsel’s presented two
new training courses for supervisors on
conducting employment investigations, with
the goal of enhancing management skills
and minimizing employee grievances and
County liability. We plan to continue to
develop and present new training programs
related to employment law in 2013.
• The baseline budget for minor equipment
reflects no changes. We were unsuccessful
in obtaining venture capital funding to help
offset the cost for the replacement of failing
workstations. The department continues to
examine the incremental purchase of new
workstations to replace aging workstations
as budget savings allow.
Administrative and Program Goals
• In 2012, a major pension reform law, the
California Public Employees Pension
Reform Act (PEPRA) drastically changed
the rules related to pension benefits,
effective January 1, 2013. The County
Counsel’s Office will continue to assist
County departments with interpretation and
compliance issues, and will continue to
monitor developments in the law.
• The Auditor-Controller has significant
responsibilities resulting from the
dissolution of redevelopment agencies,
including administering property tax trust
funds and performing audits of each former
redevelopment agency within the County.
The County Counsel’s Office will continue
to assist the Auditor-Controller with legal
issues pertaining to these responsibilities
and represent the Auditor-Controller in
lawsuits filed by public agencies and other
entities that challenge the administration
and distribution of property tax revenues.
The County Counsel’s Office will also assist
the County Successor Agency with
County Counsel
General Government
B-62 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
continuing efforts necessary to wind down
the former Redevelopment Agency.
• The cuts to the California State Courts that
went into effect in Fall 2012 will impact how
all state court cases are handled. In this
County, the number of civil judges has
been reduced, a discovery referee has
been eliminated, and juvenile courtrooms in
Pittsburg and Richmond have been closed.
These changes impact juvenile court
procedures, as well as civil trials,
settlements and law and motion matters.
Attorneys in this office will have to adapt to
new ways of handling cases in light of the
limited resources and evolving practices of
the court and the County.
• The hiring and retention of qualified
attorneys who have specialized training
and/or experience in targeted areas of civil
law, so that our office can efficiently and
effectively meet the County’s legal needs.
We continue to evaluate how best to recruit
and keep well-trained attorneys, and how to
make initial employment offers faster and
more attractive.

CAO’s Recommendation
The budget includes the West Contra Costa
Healthcare District agreement impacts adopted
in April, 2011. The Baseline Budget reflects the
anticipated second transfer and the
Recommended Budget the third transfer. It is
anticipated that the obligation will continue into
FY 2014-15, dependent upon tax generation.
Each year’s transfer will appear as a negative
net County cost in our schedules.
In the Retirement UAAL Bond fund,
appropriations were increased to cover the FY
2013-14 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 2013-14.

CAO Recommendation
The Recommended Budget for the Department
of Information Technology for FY 2013-14 is
$1,371,193 higher than the current year, due
mainly to appropriations for the replacement of
aging equipment, computer licenses,
maintenance and other manufacturer annual
cost increases.
Department user fee rates charged to
departments increased by 2.18% due to aging
equipment replacement, and have been set to
match anticipated expenditure increases. The
department has a net county cost of $95,000,
which reflects a portion of the annual debt
service for the digital microwave system.
The County Administrator has accepted the
department’s baseline budget submission as the
recommendation for fiscal year 2013-14.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline Budget reflects a net decrease of
$6,846,049. The net decrease reflects the
elimination of prior year fund balance totaling
$6,767,536 as well as decreased costs of
$95,255 for anticipated reductions in retiree
health costs. Additionally, the budget reflects
increased software costs of $16,742 for the
County PeopleSoft project.
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 a
growth in property tax revenues of 2% for FY
2013-14 compared to FY 2012-13 actuals. FY
2012-13 experienced 0.86% growth in assessed
value compared to 0.49% loss in FY 2011-12.
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 economic downturn in the past few
years eliminated growth in assessed valuation,
significantly reduced interest rates, and greatly
impacted Supplemental Property Tax revenues.
Although small, in the past two fiscal years,
assessed values have begun to experience
growth. The County Administrator’s Office is
cautiously optimistic that growth will be at least
2% in FY 2013-14.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline budget for fiscal year 2013-14
reflects a net decrease of $596,238 from the
current year. The reduction is due mainly to the
removal of restricted, prior year fund balance
rebudgeted in fiscal year 2012-13 for Benefits
Administration. Salary and benefit costs are
estimated to increase by $33,497. Revenue
increased by $131,016 for personnel services
and benefits administration.
The Recommended budget was increased by a
net of $116,649 to reflect the addition of two
positions: one Human Resources Technician in
the Employee Benefits unit and one Labor
Relations Specialist II position in the Labor
Relations unit. An additional staff-person is
needed in the Employee Benefits unit to
continue to implement the Deferred
Compensation Loan program as there are
currently 350 loans in place, totaling $4.5 million.
This position will be offset by charges for
Benefits Administration. The additional staff-
person in the Labor Relations unit will support
the collective bargaining negotiations, meet and
confer obligations, and assist in managing
grievances and unfair labor practices. The
Department has experienced a significant
number of retirements in recent years and
additional staffing is needed in crucial areas so
that services may be delivered in a more
effective manner.
Performance Measurement
• Successful negotiation of Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the California
Nurses’ Association.
• Continued Human Resources cooperation
and support in the implementation of the
automated timekeeping system through staff
support and negotiations with labor
organizations.

CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline costs for salaries and benefits are
decreased due to benefits cost savings resulting
from the combination of six part time positions
into three full time positions, and reduced
projection of retiree health costs due to over-
estimate of the number of possible retirements
in 2012-13. Baseline services and supplies are
decreased to reflect one time purchases in
2012-13 of equipment, computers, and
materials. The Recommended Budget for
Services and Supplies is decreased by
$209,307 due to reduced spending on library
materials. Baseline costs for other charges are
reduced due to decreased facilities maintenance
costs. Baseline Fixed Assets are decreased
due to onetime appropriations for security gates,
self-check machines, and computer equipment
in 2012-13. The Library budget is balanced and
is structurally sound. The Library consistently
brings people and ideas together with its
exceptional service to the community.

services.
Adjustment: The baseline budget reflects
expenditure and revenue increases of $9,657.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Department reduced their General Fund
baseline budget by a net of $217,414. This
reduction reflects the removal of one-time
allocations of funding for specific projects in
fiscal year 2012-13.
The Recommended budget reflects the addition
of five positions: two positions in the Facilities
Maintenance Division; two positions in the
Custodial Services Division; and one position in
the Grounds Maintenance Division. These
positions are recommended to increase the level
of service provided to various County buildings.
Also included in the increase is funding to cover
the lifecycle costs for general fund buildings that
are currently not chargeable to any County
department.
The Road Fund Budget decreased by a
$5,365,500 which reflects the completion of
projects pertaining to Vasco Road and Bethel
Island in fiscal year 2012-13.
The Land Development Fund, which supports
engineering functions, was increased by
$344,382 to match anticipated revenues
generated from planning and engineer services
in fiscal year 2013-14.
The Airport Enterprise fund, which supports
airport operations and capital development at
the Buchanan and Byron Airports decreased by
$2,502,016. The adjustment reflects project
Public Works
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-111
completed in fiscal year 2012-13 that was
funded by grants from the Federal Aviation
Administration. The budget includes the
addition of two positions that are being
recommended due to increased environmental
and regulatory requirements. All budgeted
expenditures are 100% offset by anticipated
revenues for fiscal year 2013-14.
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, as well as
maintaining operations within their base line
budget.
Performance Measurements
• Development of a Creek and Channel
Safety Awareness Program through
outreach to schools, communities, and other
public agencies. The Public Works
Department launched the program in fall
2011 and in 2012 identified methods to
ensure the program is sustainable.
• Transportation Grant Program. In FY 2011-
12 the goal was exceeded with $29.12 in
grants for every $1 of staff time, generating
approximately $7.41 million in additional
funding for the Transportation Program.
• Our customer service request system and
proactive approach to road safety audits
continues to show positive results. We
continue to see a downward trend in the
number of accidents.
• Work with the cities and regional
organizations to implement the most cost
effective measures to meet our Municipal
Regional Permit requirements for
stormwater. Success will be measured by
the number of joint projects, programs, or
agreements with other local or regional
agencies to reduce implementation costs.
• We completed two Proposition 1B funded
projects in construction season 2012. We
have now completed 15 out of 20
Propositions projects.
• Work with California State Association of
Counties (CSAC), legislative lobbyists, and
others to modify the Army Corps of
Engineers Vegetation Policy to provide
public safety and meet the unique needs of
Contra Costa County. Success will be
measured by the number of changes or
extent of change to the policy that will meet
our needs or move the requirements in the
direction of meeting our needs.
• Work with the Department of Conservation
and Development to further review
improvements needed to customer service
and provide seamless services to residents.
• Awarded Re-accreditation by the American
Public Works Association in 2012. We will
review additional functions such as
Buildings, Grounds and Fleet Services for
our next Re-Accreditation in 2016.
Administrative and Program Goals
• 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. Continue to work with
schools, cities and other interested parties to
further refine the public awareness and
outreach program on the hazards of our
flood control channels during high storm
flows. Evaluate if the methods used to make
the program sustainable are effective.
• Continue managing the Transportation
Grant Program, with the goal of receiving a
minimum of $4 for every $1 of staff time
preparing grant applications
• Provide a safe, efficient, reliable, and
accessible transportation network. Continue
to reduce the number of accidents on
County roads, maintain level of service on
our major arterials, and improve our
pavement condition index.
Public Works
General Government
B-112 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
• Continue to evaluate the Department
organization and look for opportunities for
operational efficiencies with the recent
merger of General Services and Public
Works into one Department.
• 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.
• Continue to pursue reasonable modifications
to the Army 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.
• Develop a program to assess the condition
of our flood protection system facilities and
identify maintenance needs and
replacement costs.

Treasurer – Tax Collector
General Government
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-115
CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline Budget
The baseline net County cost represents a
$28,964 increase over the fiscal year 2012-13
Adjusted Budget. Salary and benefit costs are
anticipated to increase by $41,226, mainly due
to increased retirement costs. The Department
was able to reduce other operating costs by
$37,262. However, estimated revenues are
expected to decrease by $25,000 in fiscal year
2013-14.
As foreclosures have stabilized, the declining
number of new delinquencies has limited the
amount of service costs and redemption fees
that could potentially be collected. At the same
time, property values have remained low,
resulting in decreased property tax revenues.
Finally, investment income is at a record low, as
interest rates hover well south of 1%. The Office
has entirely mitigated this reduction in revenue,
however, with offsets to budgeted non-salary
expenditures.
Over the past year, the Treasurer-Tax
Collector’s Office has increased the efficiency of
department operations by swapping two higher
skilled positions (which had become vacant
through attrition) for three part-time Experienced
Level Clerks. This has allowed the Office to
maintain its high standard of service to the
County’s taxpayers, while enabling management
employees to focus on tasks more challenging
and appropriate to their job titles.
Recommended Budget
The County Administrator is recommending no
reduction to the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s
baseline budget. The recommended net County
cost will provide the funding necessary to
maintain mandated services in fiscal year 2013-
14.
Performance Measurement
• Request proposals from qualified firms to
revise, provide or improve financial services
to the County for general banking, lockbox
and merchant card processing services.
Review of these services will lead to offering
the highest quality of service at the lowest
possible cost while promoting opportunities
to improve banking, cash management and
customer service capabilities.
• Continue to improve the efficiencies in
taxpayer service through enhanced
automation with the latest technological
advancements in electronic payment
processing services.
As part of our effort to support a cleaner and
healthier environment by taking advantage of
today's technology, the Treasurer-Tax
Collector's Office has implemented a free
subscription service delivering Secured Property
Tax bills and notifications via e-mail. The service
is intended to eliminate the need to mail and/or
receive “paper” tax bills and subsequent
payments. Instead, taxpayers may receive
and/or send tax payments electronically, which
reduces costs while increasing efficiency.
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
and 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
B-120 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Department Description
As the Contra Costa County agency responsible
for establishing, collecting, and distributing child
and medical support for minors, the Department
of Child Support Services (DCSS) is an
important part of California's effort to nurture and
protect children and to help them and their
families achieve self-sufficiency.
Baseline Budget: Due to an error made during
the FY 2012-13 year end process regarding the
posting of revenue, which was not discovered
until after the books were closed for the year, the
Baseline Budget appears to reflect an increase
of approximately $4.9 million. This error has
been corrected and will be accurately reflected in
the FY 2012-13 adjusted budget. The FY 2013-
14 Baseline budget reflects the cost of current
operations.
Impact: No adjustment from Baseline to
Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14 is
required.
Major Department Responsibilities
The Child Support Enforcement Program is
authorized under Title IV-D of the Social Security
Act to provide services assisting parents to meet
their mutual obligation to support their children.
No-cost services to Contra Costa County
residents with physical custody of a minor child
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
FY 2013-14 Baseline expenditures increased
slightly in comparison to the corrected FY 2012-
13 Baseline, primarily through increases in
salaries and benefits. Revenue remains
unchanged. The slight salary increases are
offset by a corresponding reduction in
expenditure transfers. The FY 2013-14
Recommended Budget for Child Support
Services is balanced while maintaining current
service levels.
Performance Measures
Federal Performance Measure:
The effectiveness of the Department of Child
Support Services (DCSS) is evaluated by
measures in five critical areas:
1. Child Support Orders:
• Status of FY 2012 Goals: Achieved 90.3%
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.

average of non-custodial parents’
participation has reached only a maximum of
63.5%. DCSS has consistently maintained
participation above 63.5% during that same

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 2012 the California State
average was $2.47 collected for each dollar
expended. Contra Costa DCSS is over 35%
more effective than the State average with
$3.33 for each dollar expended.

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 provide 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
77.4% 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 many of the
Department’s programs.
The Department is continually seeking new
ways to improve the coordination of its client
services and to maximize non-county fund
sources.

Special Note to the Reader
Federal and State revenues finance over 79% 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. Because EHSD does
not currently have the allocations for FY 2013-
14, the Department has included revenue based
on the Governor’s fiscal year 2013-14 Proposed
Budget and historical allocation information.
Given the need to analyze the impact of
changes in the FY 2013-14 State budget, the
Department has used the best information
currently available to project its revenue. Should
the funding picture change, the Department will
return to the Board with information and seek
appropriate adjustments to appropriations.

Health and Human Services
B-128 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Description: The Aging and Adult Services
Bureau (AAS) provides protective and
supportive services to disabled adults and
seniors including In-Home Supportive Services
(IHSS); Adult Protective Services; Area Agency
on Aging services; and other supportive
services. This Bureau also manages the
Volunteer and Emergency Services Program.
Baseline Budget: The AAS Baseline budget
includes slight decreases in personnel and
supplies, and substantial increases in other
charges and expenditure transfers, in order to
maintain the current level of service. There is
also a reduction in Federal assistance which is
offset by an increase in State assistance.
Impact: The Department is recommending a
reduction in expenditure transfers and
anticipates an additional increase in State
Assistance. Recent changes in the In Home
Support Services (IHSS) program’s funding
requires the County to contribute a set
maintenance of effort (MOE) amount rather than
pay a percentage of the total expenditures. The
Net effect is a slight increase in the net County
costs.

contractor to administer the health benefits
enrollment which has resulted in a savings in
contracted services expenses.
Impact: Adjustment of $171,081 from Baseline

Baseline Budget: The FY 2013-14 Baseline
Budget includes an overall increase of $281,973
compared to the FY 2012-13 Approved Budget.
Impact: The FY 2013-14 Recommended
Budget reflects a decrease of $998,745 in large
part due to an increase in expenditure transfers
out. This increase is attributable to an
anticipated increase in Medi-Cal activity. Medi-
Cal expenses are recorded in Adult & Aging
Services for invoicing purposes. The Bureau
also anticipates an increase in State
Realignment revenue. The FY 2013-14
Recommended Budget includes a small surplus.

4. Child Welfare Services
Description: Children's Services staff works
with families to assess 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 are delivered with a
focus on outcomes 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, early
intervention and post permanency 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 assess the
safety of children.
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. On
average, 300 children receive family
maintenance services each month.
c. Family Reunification - When a child is
removed from a 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; an adoption or
guardianship will be established to help
children if they are unable to return to the
care of their biological family. In calendar
year 2012, approximately 580 children in
out-of-home care received permanency
planning services at some point during the
year.

County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-145
Description: The Workforce Development
Board (WDB) is a 41-member, business-led
body whose members are appointed by the
Board of Supervisors to shape and strengthen
local and regional workforce development
efforts. The WDB brings together leaders from
business, economic development, education,
labor, community-based organizations, and
public agencies to align a variety of resources
and organizations to enhance the
competitiveness of the local workforce and
support economic vitality in our region.
Baseline Budget: The Baseline Budget for FY
2013-2014 is relatively flat compared to FY
2012-2013. Increases in services and supplies,
and transfers from other departments were
mitigated by decreases in salaries and other
charges. Anticipated revenue increases
accommodate increased expenses.
Impact: The impact of sequestration is not fully
known. The one-time grants received by the
WDB amount to more than 10% of overall
revenues and should help mitigate funding
reductions in federal Workforce Investment Act
and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)
funding. No adjustment from Baseline Budget to
the Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14 is
required.
1. Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
Employment & Training
Description: The Workforce Investment Act
(WIA) of 1998 provides programs and services
to help job seekers become re-employed and
provides resources to help support business
development. The emphasis of the Workforce
Investment Act is the alignment, 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. The Workforce
Development Board staff includes additional
direct service staff working in the EASTBAY
Works One-Stop Career Centers who are paid
through the Workforce Services Bureau.
Pursuant to specific mandates within the WIA,
the WDB administers and coordinates the
following:
a. Adult Program - Through the EASTBAY
Works 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 additional 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 youth between
the ages of 14-21 years old (including both
high school students 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
Employment and Human Services
Health and Human Services
B-146 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
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 Title V of the
federal Older Americans Act (OAA) and
operated by the WDB under a contract with
Senior Services of America, Inc.
e. Grant-Funded Programs – The WDB
administers several grant-funded programs
of varying duration and scope. Grant funds
are often WIA funds obtained through
competitive processes, but may include
other sources as well.

County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-149
Description: Community Services Bureau
(CSB) has provided services to Contra Costa
County residents since 1965. As the
Community Action designee for Contra Costa
County, CSB offers comprehensive Head Start
and state funded childcare programs for families
and children, ages 0-5; energy assistance and
weatherization and CalWORKs childcare
vouchers for welfare-to-work recipients. CSB
has partnerships with dozens of non-profit
community organizations that provide an array
of family services. CSB utilizes a comprehensive
approach to childcare, providing high quality
educational care to children and their families,
physical health, nutritional, mental health,
disabilities and school readiness services to the
families.
In 2007, Congress enacted legislation
that required, for the first time in program's
history, greater competition within communities
for Head Start funding. Due to this Federal
mandate, the Department submitted funding
applications in July 2012 to re-compete for its
Head Start and Early Head Start grants. The
Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
is expected to announce the winning applicant
within the next few months.
Baseline Budget: The Baseline Budget reflects
a small reduction in operating expenses and
revenue reductions in the Head Start and Early
Head Start programs.
Impact: No adjustment from Baseline to
Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14 is
required.

County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-153
Description: The Child Development Fund
provides funding for the California State
Preschool Program (CSPP) that serves about
1,106 children of low- and middle-income
families in 17 centers with 59 classrooms
throughout the County. In addition, the Child
Development Fund provides funding to
CalWORKs Stage 2 and CAPP programs that
serve children of families transitioning from
TANF to work. Participation in CalWORKs Stage
2 and CAPP enables parents to remain stable in
their new job environment. State funding also
provides childcare services to six partnering
childcare agencies
Baseline Budget: CalWORKs Stage 2 and
CAPP caseloads are projected to decline by
28% or approximately $1.3 million. The net
impact is reduced revenue and reduced
expenses. . Due to the reassignment of the
teaching staff from General Fund childcare
programs to Child Development Fund programs,
FY 2013-14 Child Development Fund Budget
reflects an increase of 34 positions to account
for the staffing needs of the centers and to
comply with the teacher-child ratio mandated by
the California Department of Education.
Impact: No adjustment from Baseline to
Recommended Budget for FY 2013-14 is
required.

Description: The Childcare Enterprise 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 in classrooms at
several of the centers throughout the county.
The number of tuition-based slots in each
classroom depends upon the number of lower-
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.
Baseline Budget: The Baseline Budget
maintains the current level of services.
Impact: No adjustment from Baseline to

Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-161
Description: The Employment and Human
Services Department Administrative Bureau
provides support services to all Departmental
programs. Costs include contracts, budgets,
claims, personnel and staff development,
appeals, quality control, welfare fraud
investigation, debt collection, central records
management, fiscal compliance, facilities,
information technology, CalWIN program
administration, fixed assets, vehicles, and
building occupancy costs.
Baseline Budget: The 2013-14 Baseline
Budget includes increased expenditures of
$90,978. Increases in services and supplies are
offset by decreases in salaries and other
operating expenses. Increased revenues of
$62,801 reduced the impact on projected
County costs.
Impact: The FY 13-14 Recommended Budget
includes $8,214,604 in California Healthcare
Eligibility, Enrollment and Retention System
(CalHEERS) expenses.
The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget
includes $7,703,019 in State CalHEERS
funding. CalHEERS requires $606,531 county
share which must be absorbed within the
Department’s net county cost.
7. Administrative Services
CalHEERS is the automated system that will
support the Health Care Reform program and
includes the Modified Adjusted Gross Income
(MAGI) used by the IRS as a way to standardize
how income is calculated across the nation for
income tax purposes. The CalHEERS system is
under development and will interface with the
CalWIN system. Families seeking services from
the Department will be offered the opportunity to
apply for other services they appear potentially
eligible to receive (such as CalFresh and
CalWORKs.)

B-162 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
CAO Recommendation
FY 2013-14 General Fund Baseline Budget
expenditures have increased by 2.5%, primarily
due to increases in salaries and benefits. This
increase is mitigated slightly by an increase in
revenue.
The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget further
increases budgeted expenses by $1,763,531 in
both salary and benefit expenses, and services
and supplies charges. This increase is offset by
additional revenue of $7,443,501.
The Department currently does not have the
State allocations for FY 2013-14; the
Department has included estimated revenue
based on the Governor’s fiscal year 2013-14
Proposed Budget and historical allocation
information.
The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget for
Employment and Human Services is balanced
while maintaining the current level of service.
Performance Measures
Under the services delivery and major business
re-design of the Workforce Services Bureau's
client application and intake process, known as
Office of the Future (OOF), several new
technologies were implemented which support
the expansion and enhancement of applicant/
client access to benefit programs. Clients take
advantage of both self-service and expanded
channels for application and eligibility
determination. Another goal for OOF provides
enhanced and more efficient service to clients
by reducing wait times and automating manual
tasks required of staff in processing applications
and in other necessary business
processes. Following are the technological
enhancements implemented thus far under
OOF:
• District Office Lobby Management System:
Client Self-Check-in Kiosks, Electronic
Display Monitors, a software system to
manage client interactions, and increased
access to Benefits CalWIN (BCW) to apply
for benefit programs and access information
on-line through computers provided in the
district office lobbies
• A new electronic Task Management Tool
(TMT): Reduces the time for application
approval through the electronic assignment
and tracking of tasks specific to each worker
assigned to receive, process, determine
eligibility, and grant or deny program
applications.
• Extended Automated Call Distribution (ACD)
system: Implemented enhancements to our
phone distribution system increase options
and routing of incoming client calls. This
function supported moving to Intake phone
interviews under OOF.
• Point of Entry Scanning: All client
documents are immediately scanned at the
point of entry into our service delivery
system and then electronically sent to staff.
The Children and Family Services bureau’s FY
2012-13 previous goal of a 5% increase in the
number of youth obtaining permanency after
being in care for 24 months has not yet been
obtained. The Bureau will continue to work
towards this goal in the FY 2013-14 budget year.
Shortly after the Adult and Aging Bureau’s
(A&AS) goal was established, two different – but
significant – opportunities for A&AS to
collaborate with Contra Costa Health Plan
(CCHP) arose. As a result, the goal of
coordinating with CCHP/Health Services was
achieved in a slightly different manner than
forecast. However, in tandem, the Volunteer
Care Coordination Initiative did move forward,
expanding to three Senior Centers in the
County.
In FY 2012-13, A&AS undertook two key
projects that incorporate elements of the
Affordable Care Act, Duals Demonstration and
Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI) frameworks,
particularly as they relate to partnering with the
CCHP. This partnership is critical to
implementation of Health Care Reform in Contra
Costa County. Two current mutual projects the
Care Team Project and the Health Care
Innovation Grant have allowed us to establish
channels of communication, data sharing and a
working relationship with CCHP staff that will
serve us well going forward.
Employment and Human Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-163
The Workforce Development Board placed 220
youth into summer jobs during summer 2012,
exceeding its goal by 10%.
In FY 2012-13 250 East County residents were
enrolled by the Service Integration Team into the
EHSD Bay Point SparkPoint Center. Fifty-eight
percent achieved at least a 5% increase in one
of the economic self sufficiency goals. Sixty-five
percent of the participants received two or more
SparkPoint services.
After extensive research and consultation with
subject matter experts, a multidisciplinary team
of agencies (criminal justice, law enforcement,
social service, and community agencies)
developed a recommended standard approach
to risk assessment in domestic violence cases.
The cornerstone of the approach includes the
use of one of the most valid tools for predicting
domestic violence and the establishment of a
multidisciplinary High Risk (case review) Team
(HRT). This interagency approach provides a
cohesive countywide method for communicating
risk, coordinating services, and developing a
collective intervention with attention to the
context and severity of events. Both the
protocol and HRT were successfully piloted this
year; agencies identified effective ways to
integrate the protocol into existing systems,
increased the capacity of key staff through
training, and convened the pilot HRT in
September 2012. The HRT currently has ten
active cases. In the coming year, this approach
to preventing or minimizing risk in domestic
violence cases will be refined and implemented
fully throughout the County.
The Department was without a Personnel Officer
for most of the budget year. However, we were
successful in automating the approval of
requests for personnel actions and freeze
requests. The Department also developed a
planning document to identify areas for
improvement and possible delegation from
Human Resources. A new Personnel Officer
was recently hired and streamlining and
improvement processes are underway.
The Community Services Bureau’s goal from the
2012-13 FY has yet to be completed since the
process of Designated Renewal System was
delayed until the Spring of 2013. The
application was completed and submitted in
August 2012.
Administrative and Program Goals
Our goal for FY 2013-14 under Health Care
Reform is to process 90% of all Medi-Cal
applications within 45 days with priority
consideration for specified applications.
The Children and Family Services Children
and Family Services bureau will continue to
focus on the prior year’s goal of “Increasing
the percentage of youth who have been in
care 24 months or longer reach permanency
by 5%.” Given the positive direction for
those youth moving along the adoption track
the bureau will focus on the youth who are in
long term foster care.

County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-171
Detailed Budget Table Description
The table above provides information by budget
unit summarizing expenditures, revenues and net
County costs for each of the budget units
administered by the Health Services Department
and compares the baseline service level with the
recommended service level.
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 to reducing health
disparities by addressing issues of diversity and
linguistic and cultural competence.
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 a 166-bed
hospital and ten ambulatory care health centers
that provide family practice and specialty care, as
well as mental health services, substance abuse
treatment, public health programs, environmental
health protection, hazardous materials response
and inspection, and emergency medical services.
For low-income and uninsured residents of Contra
Costa, CCHS is the safety net, providing medical
services not available to them elsewhere.
CCHS also operates a County-sponsored health
maintenance organization. The Contra Costa
Health Plan (CCHP) now serves over 100,000
people in Contra Costa County, and 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. The Contra
Costa Health Plan promotes appropriate use of
services, and funds them efficiently with third-party
revenues.
CCHS is responsible for maintaining a healthy
environment for the community, 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 seasonal flu, childhood and adult diseases;
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 also responsible for the CCHS health emergency
preparedness programs, data collection, and
program evaluation.
The Behavioral Health Division combines what was
formerly the Mental Health Division, Alcohol and
Other Drugs Division, and the Homeless Program,
into one single administrative system of care. With
increasing challenges in serving complex
populations with multiple disorders, this change
responds to the internal commitment of improved
client care/outcomes through a “no wrong door
approach” that focuses on the “whole” person. In
preparation for Health Care Reform, and in
response to the State Realignment and other
external challenges, a consensus has emerged
that recognized the need for a broad system
approach where addressing complex behavioral
health needs is an expectation. The intended
outcome is a system of care that is welcoming,
recovery/resiliency oriented, culturally-capable,
accessible, continuous and comprehensive, all
which promote physical, social and emotional
wellness and well-being. For budgetary purposes
the Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs, and
the Homeless Programs that now comprise the
Behavioral Health Division continue to be reported
separately.
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.

Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-173
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
2013-2014 budget is based on an average daily
inpatient census of 120 patients, and 422,040
annual outpatient visits.
Impact: The recommended budget maintains
the current level of services.
1. Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
Description: A general acute care teaching
facility, the 166 licensed bed Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) 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.
CCRMC provides care to individuals with a
variety of insurance coverage including
Medicare, Medi-Cal and private insurance. The
cost of care provided to these individuals is
offset by the fees collected.
CCRMC 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.
CCRMC 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 provides indigent
health care through three programs based on
the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) guidelines.
Under the Basic Health Care Program (BHC),
individuals with income of less than 300 percent
of the FPL are eligible for medical services at
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
(including referred care to non-County facilities
as medically required). There is no age
restriction for the BHC program. Adults must be
US citizens or legal permanent residents of
Contra Costa County. Children under the age of
19 are eligible regardless of immigration status.
BHC enrollees pay a fee based on a sliding
scale:
• 0-150% FPL ($1,436 maximum monthly
income) no fee;
• 151-200% FPL ($1,915 maximum
monthly income) $25 per month;
• 201-250% FPL ($2,394 maximum
monthly income) $50 per month;
• 251-300% FPL ($2,873 maximum
monthly income) $75 per month.
The number of individuals enrolled in the BHC
program as of December 31, 2012 was 1,788.
Of this total, 472 are undocumented children.
91% or 433 children are in the 0-133% FPL
group and 8% or 37 children are in the 134-
200% FPL group.
The remaining 1,316 BHC enrollees are adults.
Of this total, 555 adults are in the 0-133% FPL
category; 111 fall within 134-200% FPL, and 650
fall between 201-300% FPL.
In November 2010, the Federal Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
approved California’s Section 1115 “California
Bridge to Reform” Waiver. A key component of
the state’s section 1115 waiver is the Low
Income Health Program (LIHP) that expands
coverage for individuals between 19 and 64
years of age. LIHP consists of two programs,
the Medi-Cal Coverage Expansion Program
(MCE) and the Health Care Coverage Initiative
Program (HCCI). The LIHP will operate through
December 2013 and is designed to bridge the
care of these individuals from an episodic care
approach to comprehensive healthcare
coverage. The LIHP individuals will transition to
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-174 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Medi-Cal or new subsidized coverage through
the States Covered California Program (CCP).
CCP will go into effect in 2014 as a result of the
implementation of the Federal Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The LIHP Medi-Cal Coverage Expansion (MCE)
currently provides coverage to individuals at or
below 133% of the FPL. Eligible individuals
must be US citizens or legal permanent
residents between 19-64 years of age. The
number of individuals enrolled in the MCE
program as of December 31, 2012 is 10,075.
There is no cap on the federal share of funding
for this program, but a local match must be
provided. Effective January 2014 this population
will transition into full Medi-Cal.
The LIHP Health Care Coverage Initiative
(HCCI) program provides coverage to
Individuals from 134-200%. Eligible individuals
must be US citizens or legal permanent
residents between 19-64 years of age. The
number of individuals enrolled in the HCCI
program as of December 31, 2012 is 2,145. The
HCCI program has a cap on the amount of
federal funding available and a local match is
also required. Effective January 2014 this
population will be eligible for subsidized health
care coverage through the Exchange operated
by the Covered California Program.
CCRMC will receive funding under both the
MCE and HCCI programs through December of
2013. Effective 2014 these programs end and
are replaced with ACA funded programs as
indicated above. The enrollment and payment
rates for the new ACA programs are not known
at this time. This budget is predicated on the
assumption that (1) the enrollment in the ACA
programs will remain constant with the LIHP
levels and (2) the payment rates coupled with
the increase in the Federal Matching Percentage
(FMAP) will yield a return $11.6 million higher
than fiscal year 2012-13. The projected revenue
increase is utilized to replace a $5 million
decrease in County General Purpose revenue
and to fund a $6.6 million increase in pension
costs.
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 Design,
3. Population-Focused Improvement, and
4. Urgent Improvement in Care.
CCRMC has received approval of its five-year
plan that shows how results will be achieved in
these four areas. Funding is contingent upon
meeting specified milestones. This budget
anticipates receipt of $32.55 million for meeting
those milestones.

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. This program is expected
to continue through calendar year 2014 with an
average monthly enrollment of 441 members.
4. 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.
5. Low Income Health Program consists of
two programs. (See discussion of Affordable
Care Act Impact on these programs in CCRMC
Budget Narrative.)
a. Health Care Coverage Initiative
(HCCI). 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 who 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 HCCI grant requires the County to
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.
b. Medi-Cal Expansion Program (MCE).
In 2011 under the Section 1115 Waiver, 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 also covers emergency services
rendered outside of CCRMC under limited
circumstances.
Note: Due to state reporting requirements, the
cost of the BHC, HCCI and MCE programs are
reclassified at year end between the Hospital
and Community Health Plan Enterprise Funds.

Description: This product serves Contra Costa
residents who qualify for the Access for Infants
and Mothers (AIM) program and the Major Risk
Medical Insurance Program (MRMIP). Contra
Costa Health Plan is a contracted health plan
carrier for these programs, which are
administered by the State’s Managed Risk
Medical Insurance Board (MRMIB).
AIM is a program for pregnant women that is not
available to Medi-Cal or Medicare Part A and B
recipients, and applies certain income
guidelines. Women receive prenatal care and
delivery services. MRMIB pays the Health Plan
a contracted fee per delivery.
Major Risk (MRMIP) provides health insurance
to Californians unable to obtain coverage in the
individual market due to pre-existing health
conditions. Enrollees participate with the cost of
their coverage and a $500 annual deductible
applies. Medi-Cal beneficiaries are not
prohibited from enrolling, but cautioned to
consider the cost. Benefit limits are $75,000 per
calendar year and have a lifetime cap of
$750,000.
Both programs may be impacted by Health Care
Reform in 2014.
Impact: The recommended budget maintains
the current level of services.

2013-2014 budget is based on 413,868 visits
and an inpatient psychiatric average daily
census of 17.97 patients.
Impact: The recommended budget maintains
the current level of services.
1. Child and Adolescent Services
Description: Child and adolescent services
cover 0-18 years old in a wide range of services.
a. Local Institutional/Hospital Care:
Acute psychiatric inpatient treatment for
children and adolescents is provided in
private hospitals in order to avoid placing
minors in the same psychiatric unit as adults
at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
Case management services are provided by
the Mental Health Department.
b. Out-of-Home Residential
Care/Treatment Service Programs:
Structured residential therapeutic treatment
service programs for seriously emotionally
disturbed (SED) children and adolescents
providing individual, group and family
therapy and wrap-around teams. Case
management services are provided by the
Mental Health Department.
c. Intensive Day Treatment Services:
Therapeutic treatment, educational and
activity programs (less than 8 hours per day)
for children/adolescents who have
behavioral/emotional disorders or are
seriously emotionally disturbed (SED),
psychosocially delayed or "at high risk."
Many of these services are school based.
d. Outpatient Clinic Treatment and
Outreach Services: Outpatient clinic,
school-site and in-home services, including
psychiatric diagnostic assessment,
medication, therapy, wrap-around, collateral
support and crisis intervention services for
seriously emotionally disturbed (SED)
children and adolescents and their families.
e. Child/Adolescent Case Management
Services: Case managers provide
screening, assessment, evaluation,
advocacy, placement and linkage services
to assist children and adolescents in
obtaining continuity of care within the mental
health, health care, and social service
systems. Community and school-based
prevention and advocacy programs provide
community education, resource
development, parent training, workshops,
and development of ongoing
support/advocacy/action groups. Services
are provided to enhance children’s ability to
benefit from their education.
f. EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening
Diagnosis and Treatment) Program:
Provides comprehensive mental health
services to Medi-Cal eligible severely
emotionally disturbed persons under age 21
and their families. Services include
assessment; individual, group and family
therapy; crisis intervention; medication; day
treatment; and other services as needed.
Specialized services are available in cases
of emergency foster placement.
Therapeutic Behavior Services (TBS) are
one-on-one shadowing of children and
youth, on a short-term basis, to prevent high
level residential care or hospitalization.
g. Mobile Response Team: The mobile
crisis response team, comprised of a
Masters level therapist and a family support
partner, provides short-term triage and
emergency services to seriously emotionally
disturbed children, adolescents and their
families in order to prevent acute psychiatric
crises and subsequent hospitalization.

0-5 Years of Age: Three contract agencies
provide day treatment, outpatient, and in-
home service to SED children or children at
risk of significant developmental delays and
out of home placement.
i. Special Education Services –

Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to fulfill
a mandate under federal law to provide a
free and appropriate public education to
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-186 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
students with special needs in the least
restrictive educational environment.
Services include: individual, group, or family
psychotherapy, day treatment services,
collateral, case management, and
residential placement.
In Contra Costa County there are approxi-
mately 166,000 public school students.
Over 33,000 of these students, or approxi-
mately 20%, are enrolled in Special Educa-
tion. Prior to FY 2010-2011, funding for
these mandated services has been federal
IDEA funds, State Mandate Claims (SB-90),
Medi-Cal and State General Fund. In the
Budget Act of 2010-2011, the mandate was
suspended and the responsibility to fund
these services was transferred from County
Mental Health to the local school districts
and SELPA’s (Special Education Local Plan
Areas). An MOU was developed and signed
by County Mental Health and the SELPAs,
with supporting contracts going before the
Board for approval. This budget assumes
that the responsibility for funding continued
ERMHS services will remain with the local
school districts and SELPA’s.
As part of the State 2004-05 Budget, all
2003-04 and prior SB-90 claims were
deferred with the requirement to pay them
over no more than five years beginning in
2006-07. In the State 2005-06 Budget,
Government Code Section 17617 was
amended to pay these claims over 15 years
from 2006-07 through 2020-21. Subsequent
budgets have suspended payments, to date,
no payments have been made. The
cumulative balance due from the State is
$7.7 million.
The 2013-2-14 Governors budget provides
$48.4 million for mandate payments. It is
unknown how much will be available for
payment of the $7.7 million outstanding
balance.
j. Adolescent Residential Treatment
Program at Oak Grove: The Collaborative
Continuum of Care “C5” closed in 2010 after
the governor signed legislation vetoing
funding for AB3632 services. A new school-
based program located in Mt. Diablo Unified
School District called Glenbrook was
developed for high-end youth. Best practice
models including wraparound are being
employed to avert residential placement.
k. Glenbrook: A first step alternative to,
as well as a step down from, residential
placements that provides a non-public
school with Intensive Day Treatment and
wrap services. The program includes five
classrooms – three for Mt. Diablo Unified
School District and two for other SELPAs
within Contra Costa.
l. Oak Grove Residential Treatment:
The County facility at 1034 Oak Grove Road
in Concord, is in program development for a

Youth, inclusive of residential care and early
intervention for psychosis with emphasis on
multi-family treatment consistent with the
Psychosis Intervention Early Recovery
(PIER) model.

i. AB109: Under AB109, County Adult
Mental Health began receiving referrals from
Probation in October 2011. Probationers
have five days upon prison release to report
to their Probation Officer (PO) to review their
probation orders. At their initial meeting, the
PO determines whether the individual
received “custody” mental health services
and/or was released with a 30 day supply of
psychotropic medications. POs may then
offer the individual a referral to the Mental
Health Division to be assessed for their
voluntary continuation of medications and
need for focused forensic case management
services.

7. Mental Health Services Act/
Proposition 63
Description: Approved by California voters in
November 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) has expanded mental
health care programs for children, transition age
youth, adults, and older adults. Services are
client and family driven and include culturally
and linguistically appropriate approaches to
address the needs of underserved populations.
They must include prevention and early
intervention as well as innovative approaches to
increasing access, improving outcomes and
promoting integrated service delivery. 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. Each year an annual
update is approved which includes program
refinements, program changes when indicated,
and the development of new programs identified
by our local stakeholder process. In FY 2013-
2014, we anticipate several new stakeholder
supported programs will be implemented to
include:
• An Early Intervention in Psychosis
Program to serve 12 to 25 year olds
who have developed psychosis or are
prodromal to the development of the
disease. This program will be based on
the evidence based PIER Program.
• A follow-up phone call program and
drop-in groups for those at risk of
suicide. This effort has been the result
of Suicide Prevention Committee work
to examine data in the system on those
who have the highest risk of suicide.
This pilot is modeled after the
successful suicide prevention program
implemented by the Henry Ford Health
System.
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-190 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Innovation Projects: Two programs aimed to

supportive services to sexually exploited youth.
• An integration project between Public
Health, Mental Health, and the Women,
Infants and Children Program (WIC) to
provide identification and treatment for
women with perinatal depression at the
WIC site.
• Peer Provider Wellness Coaches to
work with clients on taking an active role
promoting wellness and recovery by
teaching self-management skills.

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 testing.
These programs also respond to media inquiries
around communicable disease issues. 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 the County Animal
Services Department, and also investigates
food-borne illnesses, collaborating with the
Environmental Health Division. Consultation is
provided to physicians, hospital infection control
practitioners, residential facilities, workplaces,
schools, child care centers, shelters and other
community partners on the prevention and
control of communicable diseases. Emphasis is
placed on early identification and investigation 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 Unit
develops plans and procedures to respond
to the health impacts of naturally occurring
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-204 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
disasters such as earthquakes,
communicable disease outbreaks such as
Pandemic Flu, and bioterrorism caused by
human action. Public information, risk
communication, and internal and external
communication with employees, the
community, and the media is integrated into
all aspects of response. This unit works
closely with all areas of the Communicable
Disease Control Program, the Public Health
Lab, Environmental Health, Emergency
Medical Services, the Office of Emergency
Services, and the Hazardous Materials
Program, as well as many other County
departments and community partners. In
addition, this unit provides staff support to
the Department’s Emergency Management
Team, coordinates the annual revision of the
Department’s Emergency Operations Plan,
and represents CCHS in regional health
emergency response planning activities.
b. Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
Program works to reduce STDs by
identifying new cases of sexually transmitted
diseases and their sexual contacts and
ensuring appropriate treatment of reported
cases. In addition to supporting weekly STD
clinic operations, staff in this program
provide health education and risk reduction
services as well as STD testing services in
various venues throughout the county.
Provisional data through the third quarter of
CY 2012 shows nearly 3,000 cases of
chlamydia and 906 cases of gonorrhea were
reported among Contra Costa residents.
These diseases can cause 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 STD program also
follows people with syphilis and provides
prevention education on 32 other STDs.
Through the third quarter of 2012 follow-up
was provided to 58 cases of primary,
secondary and early latent syphilis. The
STD Program emphasizes prevention
education in clinics, community based
agencies, and in a variety of youth venues.
The program provides three STD clinics that
offer 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, clinic navigation
services, mobile HIV testing services, clinic
quality assurance activities 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 abuse
agencies and parks reach about 2,000
people per year who are not routinely seen
in traditional medical venues. Partner
services are available to assist with
anonymous notification of partners and
encourage follow up testing and linkage to
care and treatment.
In CY 2012, services for people with HIV,
provided directly or via subcontracted
providers, reached 832 low-income HIV-
positive individuals, providing nurse and
community-based case management
services, clinical social work services, oral
health care, 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
monitors approximately 200 individuals at
risk for poor health outcomes and provides
support to the clinicians and patients
through case conferencing and outreach
support services.
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-205
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 community and provider trainings
include: “Training Operations to Promote
Safety Around Field Encounters,” “Building a
Foundation for HIV/AIDS Work,” “Cultural
Competence in Engaging and Retaining
African American and Latino MSM’s in
Care,” and “Partner Counseling and Referral
Services.” A clinic provider symposium
provided HIV clinicians with tools for STD
diagnosis and care as well as for enhanced
partner services referrals. Collaboratives
with the Homeless System of Care,
CCRMC’s Emergency Department, STD,
AODS, and Public Health Clinic services
have strengthened all Health Department
Programs serving similar populations.
d. 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.
In 2012 and subsequent years, all students
entering 7th grade will be required to have
had a Tdap. Education and training for
parents, providers and the community about
new vaccines and the importance of
immunizations is ongoing. Staff also
encourages providers to participate in the
California Immunization Registry (CAIR), a
community-wide database of immunization
records, and provides training and technical
support to users of the registry. This
program also conducts disease investigation
into the occurrence of vaccine-preventable
diseases (VPD), conducts the perinatal
hepatitis B program to prevent the
development of chronic hepatitis B in
infants, and reviews immunization records of
refugees seeking adjustment of status for
U.S. permanent residence. In 2012, 9,813
immunizations were given at Public Health
clinics, including 1,239 flu vaccines.
e. Tuberculosis (TB) Control Program
provides Public Health Nurse (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 2012, Contra Costa had
56 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
of an active case are interviewed, examined
and placed on preventive therapy as
necessary. Contra Costa continues to have
TB cases, which necessitates careful
monitoring and response to reported cases
and prevention of further disease through
contact investigation and treatment.
Tuberculosis patients frequently have
chronic conditions such as diabetes, HIV,
kidney failure on dialysis, or organ
transplantation which complicates
tuberculosis care.
f. 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 establishing and
obtaining their health care. Three Refugee
Health Program staff members are
specifically trained to provide assistance to
all refugees and asylees obtaining the
required health care screening and follow up
care at our hospital and health centers. The
program works closely with Jewish Family
and Children Services, International Rescue
Committee and Catholic Charities in
coordinating health, housing and social
services for newly arriving residents. There
are 70 to 80 refugees who settle in Contra
Costa each year and approximately three
times that many immigrants and asylees.

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 and
is heavily involved in communicable disease
outbreaks including the Norovirus. The lab
takes part in the State’s Respiratory Lab
Network, and partners with the state’s CEIP
program for surveillance of influenza virus
by testing samples from clinics and hospitals
in Contra Costa County. The Public Health
Lab is one of the eleven national labs
participating in the Foodnet Retailed Meats
study.

6. The Community Wellness and Prevention
Program (CW&PP)
Description: The primary goals of CW&PP are
to examine the root causes of poor health, to
support factors that promote community health,
and to reduce risk factors that contribute to the
leading causes of death and disability.
CW&PP works in partnership with diverse
communities and uses a spectrum of strategies
to accomplish its goals. Programs focus on
prevention of chronic disease and injuries − the
two leading causes of death and disability in the
United States. Sixty-two percent of CW&PP’s
$2 million budget comes from grants from
outside sources.
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 8%
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%
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. Medical expenses related
to smoking in Contra Costa County are
estimated at $228 million annually.
b. Built Environment (BE) Program
addresses the impact of physical
environment on health. The program staffs
the interdepartmental Planning Integration
Team for Community Health (PITCH) that
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-210 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
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
program is also exploring the impact of
climate change on health. Studies indicate
that 1) access to well-planned streets, paths
and other safe recreation space 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 level of
walking and bicycling on average have the
highest rate of obesity, diabetes and high
blood pressure; and 4) proximity to fresh
produce leads to higher level 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, the program 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. The program works on local,
statewide and organizational food and
nutrition policies, including a 100% healthy
vending policy for Health Services. The
program chairs and staffs the Families
Coalition for Activity and Nutrition, provides
leadership to the Healthy and Active Before
5 Initiative, which focuses on obesity
prevention for children age 0 – 5, and serves
on the Leadership Council of the Bay Area
Nutrition and Physical Activity Coalition.
The Nutrition Program is also a key partner
in the Kaiser-funded HEAL Project in West
and Central County.
d. The Nutrition, Exercise and Wellness
(NEW) Kids Program is a comprehensive
lifestyle program to prevent and treat
childhood obesity, thus reducing risk for
developing Type 2 diabetes, asthma,
orthopedic problems, cardiovascular disease,
behavioral problems and depression. NEW
Kids serves high-risk families in East and
Central County through intervention services
of education and skill-building for overweight
children and their families, and prevention
strategies, which include school-based and
community activities to provide families with
an environment where they can eat healthy
foods and engage in daily physical activity.
NEW Kids has been effective in reducing
children’s BMI, and participants report
sustained behavior change through diet and
exercise. NEW Kids served approximately
800 children and family members since the
program’s inception in 1996.
e. Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
(LPPP) provides a countywide, compre-
hensive program of prevention, screening,
and clinical services for children and their
families. Through extensive outreach,
education and training, LPPP decreases lead
exposure of children, which causes cognitive
and behavioral impairment. As a result of
ongoing, aggressive intervention, the blood
lead levels in children throughout the County
are dropping. 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
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-211
indicate that 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 for them and their
family. The primary sources of lead include
older housing found in many parts of the
County and contaminated household items.
The current 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 (IPPP) 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 building environmental policies and best
practices to create communities that are safer
for walking and bicycling. Educational
activities include: traffic safety presentations
to over 350 youth and bicycle helmets to over
250 low-income children annually; and safe
cycling demonstrations at community events.
IPPP is currently implementing a Safe Routes
to School program in collaboration with
school districts and the Public Works
Department in communities throughout
Contra Costa County.
g. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Special Supplemental Food Program is a
federal nutrition program that provides
specific nutrition education and nutrition
assessment services, checks and coupons
for nutritious food, community referrals, and
health monitoring to over 22,000 low
income, pregnant, breastfeeding and
postpartum clients and their infants and
children under 5 years of age on a monthly
basis. WIC also provides individual
counseling and classes on preparing healthy
meals and basic nutrition information. One
key purpose of WIC is to prevent poor birth
outcomes, including low birth weight births
and infant mortality, and improve the
nutrition and health status of participants.

Description: State funding for this program
was discontinued in FY 2009-10. The amounts
shown in the table above for 2012-13 represent
fund balance for the Superior Court which will
most likely be totally expended before the end of
the current fiscal year, in which case the fund
will be exhausted and no further expenses will
be incurred.
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.
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-227
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Baseline Budget:
The 2013-14 Baseline Budget for all programs
and funding sources in the Health Services
Department totals $1.068 billion and would
require $95.9 million from the General Fund.
This would be an $11.4 million increase over the
FY 2012-13 Budget.
Recommended Budget:
The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget funds
expenditures at $11.4 million below the baseline
level. The County General Fund contribution to
the Department has been reduced by $11.4
million from the Baseline funding request and
$2.5 million below the prior year. The
Department is anticipating offsetting this
reduction in funding through efforts to drive
FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center)
revenue in the hospital and clinics, thereby
maintaining the current service levels.
The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget for all
programs and funding sources in the Health
Services Department totals $1.068 billion
dollars. Of this amount, $983.5 million, or 92%,
is funded from outside revenue. The balance of
$84.5 million, or 8%, is funded from County
general purpose revenue. The County General
Fund provides $26.7 million to the Hospital and
Clinics, $3.7 million to the Health Plan, and $54
million to the other programs within the
department. This totals $84.5 million in County
General Fund support to the Department
The Recommended Budget does not include
any funding changes that may occur in the
State’s FY 2013-14 budget. These changes are
unknown at this point.
Challenges:
The Department continues to face some major
challenges.
Federal Health Care Reform, the Affordable
Care Act, has a number of uncertainties. There
are two options for the expansion of Medi-Cal
still being considered – statewide or county
specific.
Although those who are eligible to enroll under
the Affordable Care Act will enroll over time,
some will remain uninsured because of their lack
of awareness of the programs, challenges in the
enrollment process, or inability to afford
subsidized coverage.
Some uninsured will be those who are ineligible
for subsidized coverage due to income or
immigration status, while others will be eligible
for subsidized plans, but still won’t be able to
afford the premiums. Some will lack coverage
for short time periods due to life transitions.
Access to care will continue to be a struggle for
many Contra Costa residents
The Department continues to prepare for
implementation at the local level while
monitoring possible changes to key provisions
and funding.
Performance Measurement
Hospital and Ambulatory Care Centers:
Goal: Continue to improve performance on all
national and state quality and safety measures.
Further develop the Safety and Performance
Improvement (S&PI) Program to meet and
exceed all regulatory and accreditation
requirements.
Outcome: Performance improvement goals and
key milestones were met as a condition of the
Delivery System Reform Incentive Payments
(DSRIP) plan. In addition, an executive arm of
the CCRMC and Health Centers Performance
Improvement Committee was created to
administer the quality process and insure all
improvement work is fully vetted and evaluated.
Goal: Redesign Ambulatory Care Services to
improve access and timeliness to primary and
specialty care. Reorganize health center
management and patient care structures to
improve accountability, standardization and
efficiency. Measure and develop strategy to
decrease ambulatory care sensitive conditions.
Outcome: Initiated the Patient Centered Health
Home Model that provides medical care in
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-228 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
teams centered around patient needs. PCHH is
testing and evaluating methods of improving
access to care including telephone consultations
with MDs, protocol driven care, and group
appointments.
Goal: Increase access to Ambulatory Care
Services by developing Patient Centered
Medical Home teams. Teams will expand
access to primary care through appropriate
provider panel review, expand access to
behavioral health assessment, and address
health care needs through the most appropriate
path.
Outcome: Initiated integrated behavioral health
care in two clinic sites with plans to expand to
two more. Hired LVN Panel Coordinators to
assess the health needs of patients and insure
timely access to care.
Goal: Implement the EPIC electronic medical
record information system across the hospital
and health centers.
Outcome: EPIC (ccLink) was implemented on
July 1, 2012 throughout the hospital, health,
centers and detention health systems.
Goal: Meet California Federal Medicaid
requirements for delivery system reform to
improve the health of the population, improve
patient experience and satisfaction, and reduce
per capita costs.
Outcome: The majority of DSRIP milestones
were met. Only one milestone was delayed --
the expansion of the Concord Health Center due
to building limitations. That milestone is
expected to be met in 2013.
Goal: Continue to redesign major service lines
through application of lean health care
management principles and rapid improvement
events.
Outcome: Monthly Rapid Improvement events
were held throughout the hospital and health
centers -- except during the months of ccLink
"go live" when all resources were directed
toward EHR implementation.
Contra Costa Health Plan:
Goal: Expand opportunities for increasing
savings under the Pharmacy 340B Program with
the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM).
Outcome: CCHP has saved approximately
$1,400,000 from the 340B program in the first 6
months of Fiscal Year 2012. The savings are
recognized as the difference between what the
drug would have cost on contract rates verses
the cost of the drug through 340B pricing.
Goal: Decrease escalating costs of expensive
specialty drugs for chronically ill patients through
contracting with a Specialty Drug Company as a
subcontractor to the PBM.
Outcome: CCHP successfully negotiated a
contract for some specialty drugs with Well
Partner, a 340B Mail Order Specialty Pharmacy.
Goal: Complete the application process and
mock audit for NCQA accreditation during 2012-
2013 fiscal year. Receiving this accreditation is
essential to qualify as a Health Plan with one
year history of NCQA to participate in the
California Exchange Market beginning in
January 2014 under Health Reform.
Outcome: CCHP conducted a pre NCQA
readiness audit in the 4th quarter of 2012. The
final NCQA audit will take place in December
2013.
Goal: Expand the pilot between the Advice
Nurses and the Advice Provider Telephone Clinic
to 5 days per week. Calls are currently triaged
from Appointments to Advice Nurses for patients
needing appointments within 48 hours. Those
patients still needing physician care will be called
by the daily designated Ambulatory Care physician
within 2 hours. Physician care will include ordering
medications, X-Rays, and labs, and meeting the
needs for same day appointments or approving
urgent visits. Evaluation of access will occur
throughout the expansion process.
Outcome: Currently the TCC system has been
expanded to 6 days per week. Approximately
75% if the callers who talk with the provider do
not need an appointment. This program also
has a 95% satisfaction rate.
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-229
Goal: Implement the Care Transition
Intervention Program. Under this program, a
CCHP nurse conducts a home visit within 48
hours of discharge to assess the
appropriateness of the patient’s home situation.
The nurse will arrange follow up care with the
PCP, and coach the patient/family over a 4-6
week period to assist the patient in meeting care
needs to prevent unnecessary hospital
readmissions or avoidable ER visits. This model
will be evaluated and benchmarked with the
John Muir Care Transition Intervention Program
with CCHP patients discharged from John Muir.
Outcome: The Care transition program began
January 28, 2013.
Goal: Increase Flu Vaccine compliance with
increased member education and Flu Vaccine
letters.
Outcome: Flu Vaccine letters were sent to all
members reminding them of the preventive
nature of the flu vaccine. CCHP contracted with
both Walgreens and Rite Aids pharmacies to
provide flu shots to our members over age 10
from November 2012 through March 2013.
Goal: Increase member understanding of
appropriate care options through both the CCHP
website and CCHP member and provider
materials by urging members to contact Advice
Nurse services prior to seeking ER care.
Outcome: Each new publication produced in
CCHP includes appropriate information about
the Advice Nurse program.
Goal: Partner with CCRMC and EPIC to create
an EPIC Health Plan System which integrates
clinical information between CCHP and CCRMC
and with the CPN contracted provider network to
improve care for members.
Outcome: The EPIC system was implemented
July 1, 2012, for both CCRMC and CCHP
functions.
Goal: Implement the new CBAS (former ADHC)
benefit through the collaborative contractual
relations with community agencies, MSSP and
IHSS.
Outcome: The CBAS program was
successfully implemented in CCHP and the
program now has 99 members enrolled.
Goal: Initiate a Community Coordinating
Council with EHSD and community agencies
such as skilled nursing facilities, Board & Care,
Meals-on-Wheels, CBAS and Aging Services to
provide the IHSS and long term care benefits
that the Governor intends to mandate into
managed care for both SPDs and dually eligible
patients covered under both Medicare and Medi-
Cal beginning in 2013.
Outcome: Executive staff at CCHP are meeting
regularly with EHSD and IHSS to better define
the scope of the grant which is in the beginning
stages.
Mental Health:
Goal: Use of Decision Support Tools.
Training staff at county-owned and operated
clinics on use of the decision support tools
CALOCUS/LOCUS. These measures will be
used as part of the authorization process and to
examine clinical outcomes. These measures are
built into the authorization process and all
county clinical staff complete the measures at
intake and for reauthorization.
Outcome: All staff at county-owned and
operated clinics is now using the LOCUS and
CALOCUS measures as part of the initial
authorization and re-authorization review
process. The measures are decision support
tools that can be used to guide level of care
decisions. With over a year’s worth of data
collected, baselines are now being developed as
well as some analyses on fit between level of
care and intensity of services and CA/LOCUS
scores. Contract agencies have been trained on
using the measures and are beginning to use
them as part of initial and re-authorization
process.
Goal: Coordination of Care. Revise the intake
and assessment process for clients in the
Children’s system of care, placing a focus on
coordinated care for clients at the appropriate
level. The goal is to reduce redundancy of
services and improve efficiencies in allocation of
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-230 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
resources through a centralized Utilization
Review process.
Outcome: This goal has been delayed due to
the lengthy process of hiring a clinical
assessment team. County is currently hiring for
these positions and identifying existing
resources that can be utilized for this function.
A new utilization review team has been
established to focus on the quality and
coordination of care of consumers with a focus
on high utilization clients. Charts from all
providers are gathered as part of the review
process, in addition to CALOCUS or LOCUS
scores. The review team has developed a
protocol for reviewing clients on several factors
that would indicate redundant services, lack of
coordination of care, an excessive level of
services given the level of acuity based on
CALOCUS or LOCUS scores and chart review,
and progress toward treatment goals.
Recommendations from the review are
presented to clinic managers.
Goal: Improving Access to Outpatient
Services. Rapid Access project for improving
access to outpatient services for Psychiatric
Emergency Services (PES) and Inpatient clients.
This is to facilitate transition from the hospital
and PES to step down to outpatient services.
Many clients do not currently transition from the
hospital setting to outpatient services even
though services are needed as part of the
recovery process. The Rapid Access process is
directed at reducing time between the two
settings and facilitating the transfer.
Outcome: The Rapid Access project has been
in a testing period to assess whether the
intended goal of transitioning clients from PES
and Inpatient services to outpatient services has
been facilitated by the addition of the Rapid
Access team in the West County Adult clinic.
Two time slots were carved out each day for this
transition; however, this process resulted in
inefficiencies at the clinic since it required staff
to block off portions of their day for these time
slots. There is agreement on having
programmatic changes to facilitate the transition
of these clients, but through some other means
that more efficiently uses staff resources. One
programmatic change might be to conduct a
pilot study in the Central County Adult clinic
where more CSW’s are available for
transportation and peer support.
Goal: Improving Psychiatric Wait Times.
Improving wait time for psychiatrists, utilizing
Network and PCP MD resources. Clients
frequently have a long wait time for the first
psychiatric appointment. Shorter wait times are
associated with a lower no show rate and
improved client outcomes. More internal
psychiatric resources are needed as well as
improved coordination with other psychiatric
resources, such as those on the Network and
Ambulatory Care.
Outcome: Additional psychiatric staff has been
added during the year, which has drastically
reduced psychiatric wait times, especially in
regions where the problems were most acute.
As of September 2012, there were 27.5 FTE
psychiatrists working in the County’s mental
health clinics. In addition, there have been more
psychiatric resources added to the Network and
more referrals to Ambulatory Care for clients
who can be appropriately served by these
providers.
Goal: System of Care Access. Consolidate
access to the system of care for both children
and adults using the Access Line. Examine the
feasibility of consolidating access to services
with the Alcohol and Other Drug Services and
the Homeless programs.
Outcome: The Access Line is now the
centralized access point for both adults and
children. This additional work load has placed a
heavy burden on the Care Management Unit
where the Access Line is located, and additional
staff is needed. Currently, there are not enough
staff to handle the volume of calls on a daily
basis. Consolidating access with the AOD and
Homeless programs has been a common theme
during the integration process meetings;
however, to date access to the three service
areas remains separate.
Goal: Improving Transportation Support for
Clients. Recovery is dependent on having
reliable transportation to and from mental health
services, primary health services, and pharmacy
services. It is also critical for basic needs such
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-231
as shopping and banking. The goal is to
improve efficiencies of existing resources,
including use of county vehicles, expanding
availability of bus passes, and developing on-
site training by Community Support Workers for
clients to begin using public transportation. The
feasibility of a van shuttle system is also being
explored.
Outcome: The Contra Costa Mental Health
Plan (CCMHP) formed the Transportation
Committee in the fall of 2011. The Committee’s
purpose was first to examine the transportation
needs of consumers receiving services from
CCMPH and then to determine whether existing
resources and resource allocations met those
needs. After a systematic review of policies,
analysis of existing resources, and identification
of potential gaps in transportation services, the
Committee made a series of recommendations
to senior management.
Based upon its findings, the Transportation
Committee made the following
recommendations to Behavioral Health
executive staff:
1) Revise the current Transportation Policy,
creating clear and consistent guidelines for
distributing transportation vouchers to
consumers.
2) Pilot the use of a shuttle to provide
transportation to primary care appointments as
well as community-based support services
(either by utilizing county resources or through
contracted services).
3) Create cadre of trained peer workers to assist
clients in learning how to take public
transportation, how to manage harassment,
apply for discount passes, and learn other
skills necessary to successfully use public
transportation.
4) Implement transportation 101 hotline for
consumers.
5) Educate transportation agencies and schools
about how mental health consumers are
affected/treated on public transportation.
6) Determine if common meeting locations
are accessible by public transportation, and
promote the use of those locations which are
more accessible.
7) Place public transportation information in
each of the county clinics.
8) Educate community-based organizations
about the need to advocate for route coverage
on weekends for areas with little or no
coverage.
9) Promote bicycle use among interested clients.
The Transportation Committee created action
items for each of these recommendations and, if
resources are available and upon approval,
assigned parties will begin implementation of
prioritized activities in 2013. The project has
been approved through the stakeholder process
as part of the MHSA annual plan.
Goal: Coverage for Non-insured Clients.
With the availability of the Low Income Health
Program, many services for non-insured clients
can now be reimbursed. Financial counselors
will continue to help clients through the
application process for this coverage.
Outcome: The Mental Health Financial
Counselors continue to assist clients through the
application process for enrollment into the Low
Income Health Program. Staff is exploring the
possibility of expanding the service areas that
would be covered by LHIP beyond county-
owned and operated clinics.
Goal: Training. Develop an enhanced training
program through Essential Learning as well as
expanded frequency of Law and Ethics, cultural
competency training, and more evidence-based
program training.
Outcome: The in-person Law and Ethics
training is now available twice per year.
Attendance is high at both trainings (101
attendees in March 2012; 178 attendees in
November 2012). Cultural competency training
has been expanded as well as more evidence-
based training. In 2012, CCMH offered 31
cultural competency trainings, including
Intergenerational Legacies: burden or Strengths,
Best Practices in Working with Sexual Minority
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-232 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Youth and Cultural Diversity Training. The
online training vendor, Essential Learning, has
increased the number of courses available to
Behavioral Health staff. Alcohol and Drug staff
as well as Homeless Program staff now have
access to Essential Learning.
Goal: Evidence-based programs. Increase
implementation of evidence-based programs,
including Perinatal Depression treatment project
with Public Health and Women, Infant and Child
(WIC), wraparound programs for children, use of
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Based
Recovery Therapy Group Project.
Outcome: There has been a considerable effort
put forth toward the implementation and
expansion of evidence based programs,
including expansion of the Triple P program,
Wraparound programs, the IMPACT model, and
Depression-focused and Trauma-focused CBT
programs. In addition, the county has
implemented the Trauma Recovery Group
(TRG), a promising practice for PTSD.
Goal: Information System. Determine the
feasibility of using the EPIC information system
in Behavioral Health to improve operational
efficiencies and consolidate electronic records
with Primary Health for improved coordination of
care.
Outcome: An analysis of the feasibility of using
the EPIC system for Behavioral Health was
conducted and it was determined that it would
not be feasible, primarily because of Short-Doyle
Medi-Cal billing rules and the reporting
requirements of both Mental Health (e.g., CSI)
and Alcohol and Drug Services (e.g., ASI).
There are also shortcomings in terms of the
clinical documentation requirements and the
relationship between clinical documentation and
claims. A decision was made to pursue a
behavioral health vendor and develop interfaces
between the two systems on critical clinical
information.
Goal: Computer Literacy. Train staff on
computer literacy in preparation for the
implementation of an Electronic Medical Record
(EMR) system. Many staff lack basic computer
skills necessary for EMR, so ensure a training
program is in place to address this need.
Outcome: There has been a variety of
computer literacy training opportunities for staff,
including online training, classroom trainings,
and one on one training.
Six basic computer literacy classes were offered
to staff each 2 hours in length and hosted in the
training room in the Behavioral Health
Administrative building. The course offered basic
training on Microsoft Word 2010, saving, editing
and storing electronic progress notes, and
assessing Essential Learning for additional
online computer literacy courses. At the end of
each course, staff was given the option of
signing up for one-on-one consultations at their
individual work stations to discuss specific
computer literacy needs. The County also
purchased a keyboarding course and made it
available to staff through the Essential Learning
online library of courses. In 2013, CCMHP will
continue to provide computer literacy training
opportunities either through Contra Costa Adult
School classes and/or host additional internal
trainings (or refresher courses to previous staff
attendees of computer literacy trainings).
The County provided computer literacy training
to 44 staff. Trainings were very well received by
staff and those who were surveyed gave the
instructor and the content high markings. In
2013, the objective will once again be to train
approximately 10 percent of staff on basic
computer literacy concepts.
Approximately 15 staff received one-on-one
consultations at their individuals work stations.
In 2013, CCMPH’s objective will once again be
to provide 10 one-on-one consultations to staff
who are need of support around basic computer
literacy.
Electronic progress note templates for clinical
documentation are being considered for
mandatory use by all staff. The plan is also to
pilot Dragon Dictation software with 6 selected
mental health staff (one per site) at each of the
County clinics.
Goal: Behavioral Health Transition Age
Project. Continue the planning process for the
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-233
Oak Grove project for Behavioral Health, a
coordinated project with Mental Health, Alcohol
and Other Drug Services, and the Homeless
Programs.
Outcome: The Oak Grove project (First Hope)
which provides community education to
assessment, including facilities improvement
and hiring of staff, was completed in 2012. The
last quarter of 2012 was geared toward staff
training and outreach. Over 20+ outreach
presentations explaining prodromal symptoms,
the rationale for early intervention and the
evidence which supports the efficacy of this
treatment model and the referral process have
been made. More than 400 hundred people
have participated in these presentations, which
included outreach to Mental Health, Probation,
Public Health, NAMI, the ACCESS Unit, our
MHSA stakeholder group and schools and
education administrators. Materials have been
developed in both English and Spanish and
include the development of a website. Clinical
services began in 2013. Supervision on
assessment training, outreach and clinical
treatment are provided by the PIER Institute of
Portland, Maine, the developers of this evidence
based practice. A database has been
developed to track the elements required for
certification by the PIER Institute. Telephone
screenings and in-person assessments are
currently underway. Within 2 weeks of opening
the doors of the program 4 youth and their
families were assessed and accepted for
treatment.
Goal: Contract Monitoring. Improve the
contract monitoring process with an increased
emphasis on performance-based contracting
with measurable goals. With the consolidation
of Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug
Services, and the Homeless Program, existing
contracts with overlapping programs will be
reviewed to determine if consolidation is
feasible.
Outcome: An analysis of potential overlapping
contracts was conducted and it was determined
that relatively few could potentially be
consolidated due to varying funding streams,
different eligibility requirements, and other
details implicit in the contract that made blending
impossible. A small amount of additional FTE
has been added to enhance contract monitoring,
but more are needed given the volume of
contracting agencies that are used in the system
of care.
Public Health:
Goal: Implement the Federally-funded Nurse-
Family Partnership program for 100 families,
which provides home visits, one-on-one with a
trained public health nurse. The program will be
open to low income pregnant women, starting at
or before their 28th week of pregnancy, and
visits continue throughout the pregnancy and the
first two years of the child’s life.
Outcome:
• Met program requirements and were
certified as a Nurse-Family Partnership
Program.
• Hired and trained all on evidence model and
other critical program elements.
• Educated internal and external partners on
NFP and integrated NFP as part of the
Perinatal System of Care.
• Established electronic data collection within
health services and with the California Home
Visiting Program.
• Established a referral system and successful
trajectory to meet enrollment requirement.
Goal: Educate the community and develop
policies to address the epidemic of childhood
obesity and the role of sugar sweetened
beverages.
Outcome:
• In our nutrition program, we anticipate
touching at least 2,000 low-income residents
with the “Rethink Your Drink” education
campaign in 2012-2013. The campaign
urges youth and families to make healthy
drink choices by choosing water and other
healthy drinks instead of sugar-sweetened
drinks like soda, sports drinks and energy
drinks. The campaign also works to educate
the public on the considerable amount of
added sugar and calories in sugary drinks
and the link between sugary drinks and the
rising rates of obesity in children. The
program also trained approximately 75
residents to become trainers using the
Rethink Your Drink campaign materials.
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-234 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
• At the request of City Council members in
the cities of Richmond and San Pablo, the
Public Health Division wrote reports and
made presentations at City Council
meetings on the Health Impacts of Sugar
Sweetened Beverage Consumption on the
residents of Richmond and San Pablo.
Goal: Enhance evaluation of PH and CCHS
clinical programs.
Outcome:
• Developed new framework and tools for
evaluation of programs.
• Piloted new tools with four public health
programs.
• Expanded evaluation services of EPE unit
outside of Public Health.
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD):
Goal: Communicate the Behavioral Health
change process to service providers and
clients/consumers.
Outcome: One proposed option for such
community engagement has been a System of
Care Design Forum, designed as a
collaborative, community-based approach to
integration, in which the input of County staff
and contractors, service providers, programs
and agencies, advisory commissions and
boards, community-based organizations and
advocacy groups, consumers, families and
partnering agencies is actively encouraged and
incorporated into the overall planning process.
The Forum is a formalized process to gather
input system-wide, while acknowledging the
integration efforts already underway.
Goal: Communicate information about available
services and how to access those services.
Outcome: County managers and staff have
initiated conversations to identify the service
components of an integrated system and identify
practices, modalities, and approaches, based on
lifecycle population: Children, Transitional Age
Youth (TAY), Adults, and Older Adults.
The four Services & Programs Integration
Design (SPID) teams, one for each lifecycle
population, have met six times in the past year;
participating in the following work:
• Identifying the different client trajectories
under the historic Behavioral Health
Services programs through case studies and
a program mapping process tool.
• Discussed how an integrated system of care
model “looks” and developed schematics for
how clients should be able to navigate
programs and services.
• Developed five primary service components
for integration:
o Outreach, Engagement, Assessment &
Triage
o Prevention & Early Intervention
o Treatment
o Housing & Supports
o Wellness, Resiliency & Recovery
• Met with Program Managers and Line Staff
as the first steps of participation in a
“feedback loop” to conduct work and dialog
with all system stakeholders.
Goal: Recommend tools and outcome
measures relevant to the effectiveness of
service, movement toward recovery, and
satisfaction with services.
Outcome: The Division has adopted the
Comprehensive Integrated System of Care
(CCISC) process introduced by our consultants,
Minkoff & Cline, which is a vision-driven system
“transformation” process for redesigning
behavioral health and other related service
delivery systems to be organized at every level
(policy, program, procedure, and practice) within
whatever resources are available to be more
about the needs of individuals and families
needing services.
The CCISC model is designed for
implementation within the context of current
service resources, however scarce, and
emphasizes strategies to improve services to
people and families with co-occurring conditions
within the context of each funding stream,
program contract, or service code, rather than
requiring blending or braiding of funding
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-235
streams, or duplication of services. It provides a
template for planning how to obtain and use
additional resources should they become
available, but does not require additional
resources, other than resources for planning
technical assistance and training.
The CCISC model is recognized as a best
practice for systems implementation for
treatment of people and families with co-
occurring conditions. An important aspect of
CCISC implementation is the incorporation of
evidence-based and clinical-consensus-based
best practices for the treatment of all types of
people and families with co-occurring conditions
within the services system.
Goal: Recommend a process for approaching
treatment in an integrated system.
Outcome: The integrated system of treatment
under construction is designed to provide a
combination of alcohol and other
drugs/addictions and mental health services.
These may include services provided in a
psychosocial format. Services shall be provided
of individuals with needs in one or both areas or
for persons with identified co-occurring
disorders.
Goal: Identify ways to develop the behavioral
health human resource capacity to meet the
needs of an integrated behavioral health system.
Outcome: Training of the workforce alone, we
discovered, cannot create system change. We
believe we can sustain workforce development
efforts by creating partnerships and changing
contract language. These efforts, paired with
ongoing training, supervision, mentoring,
coaching, consultation, and integration of the
skills learned into job expectations, have
supported provider organizations in the delivery
of integrated treatment to individuals with co-
occurring disorders.
Goal: Suggest ways in which providers, County
policy makers and other stakeholders can work
together to integrate services.
Outcome: During the past year the Behavioral
Health leadership team has formed and worked
in partnership with the Steering Committee and
other stakeholders to develop a plan for
proceeding with service and program integration
design across the county, insuring that the voice
of frontline staff delivering service in both County
and CBO settings is well represented.
Goal: Recommend financing of an integrated
behavioral health system.
Outcome: Substance abuse and mental health
treatment systems face challenges in obtaining
funding that supports integrated treatment for
co-occurring disorders. Committed leadership,
joint planning and the willingness to find creative
solutions are key. A consistent barrier in
financing integrated services is that
organizations think of funding in a siloed way.
Siloed funding can cause programs to spend
significant time in administrative tasks needed to
secure funds for client’s treatment through
multiple streams. Difficult financial times
necessitate creative thinking and often stretch
resources to the maximum. Determining exactly
what is possible with the funding that is received
from all systems is a necessary first step.
Partnering and collaboration are keys to making
available funds go further. This is particularly
true in our conversion to integrated care where
shared resources improve consumer outcomes
while enhancing the bottom line of all partners.
Hazardous Material Program:
Goal: California Accidental Release Prevention
Program: Complete 16 California Accidental
Release Prevention Program audits, which
represents approximately one third of the total

permanent housing units with supportive
services for homeless individuals and families
through the homeless conveyance process for
the Concord Naval Weapons Station.
Outcome: The Legally Binding Agreement
between the City of Concord and the Homeless
CNWS Collaborative was sent to the Navy and
US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development
for approval. Currently, the Collaborative is
working to finalize the by-laws that will provide
structure as to how units will be developed on
the base as parcels of land are deeded for the
purposes of developing housing units for the
homeless.
Goal: Begin operations of a 12-bed transitional
housing program for homeless men in recovery
from addiction to substances.
Outcome: The construction of the 12-bed Sober

Outcome: PCH 8 was held June 2012. The
next PCH event will be held in September 2013.
Goal: Continue to engage in efforts with various
Contra Costa jurisdictions to educate persons in
encampment areas with high health and safety
risks.
Outcome: The Homeless Encampment
Protocols were revised and distributed to law
enforcement, Public Works, County
Administrator’s Office, and homeless outreach
service teams. Additionally, in collaboration with
County Public Works Dept. and UC Berkeley, a
research study is underway to examine the
impact that the homeless and homeless
encampments have on the canals; and to find
ways to mitigate the negative effects on the
waterways. Findings and recommendations are
expected June 2013.
Goal: Conduct a countywide point-in-time count
of homeless individuals that are both sheltered
and unsheltered in our community.
Outcome: The homeless point in time (PIT)

Outcome: Closed and “extra” active hard copy
charts scanned and stored, and active chart
contents reduced to minimal documents
required outside of electronic records systems.
Administrative and Program Goals
Hospital and Ambulatory Care Centers:
1. Continue to improve performance on all
national and state quality and safety measures.
Further develop the Safety and Performance
Improvement (S&PI) Program to meet and
exceed all regulatory and accreditation
requirements.
2. Further redesign of Ambulatory Care
Services to improve access and timeliness to
primary and specialty care. Reorganize health
center management and patient care structures
to improve accountability, standardization and
efficiency. Measure and develop strategy to
decrease ambulatory care sensitive conditions.
3. Increase access to Ambulatory Care
Services by developing Patient Centered Health
Home teams. Teams will expand access to
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-241
primary care through appropriate provider panel
review, expand access to behavioral health
assessment, and address health care needs
through the most appropriate path.
4. Optimize ccLink, the new electronic health
record system across the hospital and health
centers.
5. Meet California Federal Medicaid
requirements for delivery system reform
(DSRIP) to improve the health of the population,
improve patient experience and satisfaction and
reduce per capita costs.
Contra Costa Health Plan:
1. Train Regional Medical Center Patient
Relations Staff on using ccLink CMR module to
track patient grievances which should assist in
problem trending.
2. Complete the RFP “California Health Benefit
Exchange 2012-2013 Initial QHP Solicitation to
Health Issuers” so CCHP can complete in
Covered California Exchange in 2014.
3. Advice Nurse Goal: To meet Utilization
Review Accreditation Commission abandonment
rate of 5% in the Advice Nurse unit by the end of
December 2013. Pass 3 years URAC audit for
accreditation of AN Unit.
4. Fill all vacant RN positions in the Advice
Nurse until including the Supervisory position.
This will allow CCHP to continue to expand the
new Telephone Triage Consultation (TTC)
system that operates within the Advice Nurse
Unit to seven days a week and work more
closely with the Ambulatory Care Appointment
System. The increased calls for TTC will reduce
the number of unnecessary Emergency
Department (ED) visits and unnecessary clinic
visits. The patients will be able to receive refills
on needed medications rather than going to the
ED for their medication refills. This will make the
clinic visits more productive as the TTC is able
to order labs, consult with specialty clinic
providers to determine if the patient should be
referred, and make the specially clinic referral
and test results available to the provider during
clinic visit. TTC will also increase patient
satisfaction by avoiding call backs the following
day for an appointment.
5. Care Coordination Goal: Contra Costa
Health Plan (CCHP) is launching a new Hospital
Transition Coordination Program that will
facilitate the transition of CCHP clients admitted
to community hospitals back to their assigned
Patient Care Provider. The program will consist
of a designated phone line at CCHP which will
be answered by a specially trained RN.
Services will include identifying a member’s
assigned PCP and network, and coordinating
the transition of discharged patients back into
primary care. Additionally, the RN will assist in
coordinating specialty appointments, facilitating
getting medical records to the appropriate
provider to maximize appointment productivity,
connecting patients to outside resources and
providing linkages to financial counselors for
health coverage. This program will not only
enhance continuity of care between health
systems, but also reduce unnecessary ER visits
and hospital readmissions, thereby reducing the
financial penalties assessed to CCHP for
patients who are readmitted to the hospital in
less than 30 days.
6. CCHP will launch a new Disease
Management Program to coordinate care and
provide services, including self-management
support, for members with Pediatric Obesity or
Adult Diabetes. We expect this to improve those
member’s health and to increase our Healthcare
Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)
diabetes scores. Such a program is also a
requirement for National Committee for Quality
Assurance Accreditation.
7. CCHP will complete an analysis of all
member satisfaction related data and perform a
Root Cause Analysis in order to identify
opportunities for improvement, and institute
actions to improve our members’ satisfaction.
8. NCQA Accreditation preparation will continue
and CCHP will apply for NCQA. We will have
our on-site audit and expect to be awarded
accreditation before the end of the year.
Accreditation will allow CCHP to compete in the
Covered California ACA Exchange in 2014.
Health Services
Health and Human Services
B-242 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
9. CCHP will successfully apply for the Covered
California Health Care Reform Insurance
Exchange to allow continuity if care for many
patients at less than the 200% FPL. This will
provide flexibility and coverage for many current
patients under Health Care Reform in 2014.
Mental Health:
1. Use of Decision Support Tools. Continue
implementation of CALOCUS/LOCUS. Develop
baseline data on utilization related to level of
score and level of service. Continue training
with emphasis on validation of data. Develop
and pilot model of utilizing data to trigger review
of treatment level.
2. Coordination of Care. Develop and
implement pilot programs coordinating mental
health, AOD, and homeless services, utilizing
data and feedback from County staff and
community stakeholders.
3. Improving Access to Outpatient Services.
Evaluate current efforts to improve access to
outpatient services for Psychiatric Emergency
Services (PES) and Inpatient clients to facilitate
transition from the hospital and PES to step
down to outpatient services. Implement
changes required to increase access, either
through continuing current efforts or piloting new
projects.
4. Improving Psychiatric Wait Times.
Through increase in psychiatric staff, psychiatric
wait times have decreased over the last year.
Continue to monitor wait times and develop
projects to evaluate if there are ways to more
efficiently utilize psychiatric staff to meet
community need.
5. System of Care Access. Improve ability of
Access Line to meet community need as
centralized access point for both children and
adults. Examine the feasibility of consolidating
access to services with the Alcohol and Other
Drug Services and the Homeless programs.
6. Improving Transportation Support for
Clients. Recovery is dependent on having
reliable transportation to and from mental health
services, primary health services, and pharmacy
services. It is also critical for basic needs such
as shopping and banking. A Transportation
Committee developed a wide set of
recommendations to support improved
transportation options for mental health
consumers. Implement, to degree funding is
available, the recommendations of the
Transportation Committee.
7. Services for New Consumers through
Medi-Cal Expansion and Coverage for Non-
insured Clients. With implementation of the
ACA, there will be a new group of individuals
eligible for Medi-Cal. This year, Mental Health
will begin serving this new population and will
evaluate the size and scope of needed services
going forward.
8. Training. Continue to provide training
opportunities to Behavioral Health staff,
community based organizations, consumers and
family members. Training plans for 2013 include
a co-occurring training program, Mental Health
First Aid, CBT for Depression, Forensics,
Motivational Interviewing, Law and Ethics and
various culture-specific trainings.
9. Evidence-based programs. Increase fidelity
to evidence-based programs through the use of
specific staff in each region in County in
supporting utilizing a wide variety of evidence-
based programs, including Triple P, Wraparound
programs, IMPACT, Depression and Trauma
focused CBT, and Trauma Recovery Group.
9. Information System. Contract for and
implement an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
in Behavioral Health.
Public Health:
1. Continue expansion of the School Based
Health Center services to school aged children
in West County Unified School District to include
addition of permanent clinic sites to be
constructed at Kennedy High School and
DeAnza High School.
2. Add a new mobile medical vehicle that is a
collaborative effort between HSD and Roto-
Care.
Health Services
Health and Human Services
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-243
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD):
Integrated health care in our county is an
approach characterized by a high degree of
collaboration and communication among three
formerly separate divisions. What makes
integrated care unique is the sharing of
information among the previously separate
divisions related to consumer care and the
establishment of a comprehensive treatment
plan to address the needs of the consumer.
This interdisciplinary team approach includes a
diverse group of members (e.g., physicians,
mental health workers, alcohol and drug
counselors and homeless case workers). Our
effort under integrated care is directed toward
providing any combination of behavioral health
services related to addictions, homelessness, or
mental illness, and management of, or
coordination with, the health care needs of the
person served.
A full explanation of the nature and extent of
integrated serve delivery responses covering
homelessness, drug and alcohol, and mental
health services domains has yet to be
undertaken. Not surprisingly in light of this, no
robust evidence currently exists on the
effectiveness of various forms of integrated
service delivery in our county centered on the
needs of homeless people with mental health
conditions or addictions.
Goals
We continue the goal of finding ways of
measuring the extent of integration and
assessing its form and structure.
1. Conduct a survey among all Behavioral
Health Services and staff in an effort to
determine the extent to which our integrated
programs and services are meeting the
treatment needs of consumers.
Determine what is the current level and nature of
service and system integration as it relates to
the provision of support services to homeless
people with poor mental health and problematic
substance use.
Determine whether system and service
integration leads to better access to services on
the part of homeless people with poor mental
health outcomes and problematic substance
use. Does it lead to improved client outcomes
over and above what would otherwise occur?
Our goal is to answer these questions
definitively.
2. Determine the psychiatric, psychological and
chemical dependence needs of our homeless
consumers using the most objective and clinical
measures and evidence-based methodologies
and practices.
3. Demonstrate improved access and treatment
outcomes for homeless individuals regardless of
diagnosis, over previous assessments and
measures taken prior to service integration.
Substance use and other mental disorders are
highly co-morbid. Compared to unilateral
approaches, integrated treatments for substance
use disorders and severe mental disorders
result in superior outcomes for clients. With the
specific aim of improving service coordination
and treatment outcomes for persons with co-
existing mental health and substance use
disorders, programmatic goals in the coming
year will focus on the following priority areas:
• Raise awareness of co-morbidity among
clinicians/health workers and promote
examples of good practice
resources/models.
• Provide support to general clinical and
counseling staff to improve treatment
outcomes for co-morbid clients.
• Facilitate resources and information for
consumers, and improve data systems and
collection methods within the mental health
and AOD sectors to manage co-morbidity
more effectively. The rationale being that
co-morbidity is the norm rather than the
exceptions, and is now well recognized.
However, explicit attention to issues around
housing and homelessness will be
addressed with each individual case.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Department’s baseline budget fully funds
on-going services for FY 2013-14. Total
expenditures have increased by $146,125 from
the current year largely due to the allocation of
Building Life Cycle costs and increases in
permanent salary retirement costs.
Performance Measurements
1. During FY 2011-2012, the Veterans Service
Department processed $4,741,974 in retroactive
and lump sum monetary benefits for Veterans.
This is comparable to the previous fiscal year.
College Fee Waivers represented $1,753,054 in
additional benefits to Veteran’s dependents.
2. During FY 2011-2012, we processed new
recurrent monthly benefits of $367,354, which is
lower than previous years; however, we
anticipate a steady increase FY 2012-2013. The
reduction is due to the Department of Veterans
Affairs rendering partial decisions, increased VA
backlog and an internal system conversion.
3. Staff conducted 5,873 interviews, 37 field
interviews, and answered 13,228 phone inquiries
during FY 2011-2012.
4. Veteran’s Services received a perfect score
from the California Department of Veterans
Affairs audit thereby preserving subvention
funding.
Administrative and Program Goals
Increase delivery of our service to an increasing
number of Veterans and an increasing level of
difficulty regarding physical and mental
disabilities, including:
1. Implementing a strategic plan involving
establishment of outreach stations, an outreach
coordinator and a program for female Veterans.
2. Focusing on the aging Veteran population
which deals with profound geriatric issues such
as dementia, Alzheimer's, post-stroke recovery,
need for skilled nursing and long term care etc.
3. Preparing for the casualties from the wars in
Afghanistan, Iraq and troops returning home
have presented new cases of Veterans with
multiple amputations, brain trauma injuries, Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other
physical wounds and injuries.
4. Assisting on-going clients (Veterans of past
wars and eras) have recurring needs to update
disability evaluations, the filing of new disability
and death claims based upon presumptive
disabilities and service related deaths
respectively.

B-252 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Department Description
The preceding table presents information in
aggregate format summarizing expenditures,
revenues, and net County costs for three
General Fund budget units administered by the
Animal Services Department. Included are data
for the following cost centers:
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 in the
narrative below.
Baseline Budget: The Animal Services
department anticipates a 2.2% increase in
personnel expenses and a 2.7% increase in
services and supplies to maintain the current
level of service.
Impact: To meet the General Fund target for FY
2013-14, the Department will increase its effort
to licenses more dogs in the County. The
Department will implement a variety of
computerized strategies to increase animal
licensing, including: automated rabies
certification data, automated mailing to new dog
owners, online purchasing of animal license, and
mobile credit card machine for field purchase of
animal license. The Department anticipates an
additional $184,622 in licensing revenue in FY
2013-14.
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 ensure all dogs are licensed in
the county. Through outreach with the
community and coordination with adoption
partners, the Department strives to increase the
adoption 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 from
home.

incidents and citizen complaints of
aggressive dogs are investigated by Animal
Services Officers. Owners charged with
possession of a dangerous animal are
allowed to challenge this assertion at a

CAO’s Recommendation
FY 2013-14 Baseline Budget expenditures
increased slightly in comparison to the FY 2012-
13 Budget, primarily through increases in
salaries, benefits and operating expenses.
Revenues resulting from increased animal
license collection are projected to be sufficient to
accommodate these increases. The FY 2013-
14 Recommended Budget for Animal Services is
balanced while maintaining current service
levels.
Performance Measurement
Goal: Increase animal adoptions by increasing
the use of modern technology to better
showcase animals on our website and on
Facebook pages; create video presentations to
improve the visibility of the animals and our
adoption programs; and increase the number
and locations of mobile adoption events.
Measurement: The Department increased its
use of modern technology to better showcase
adoptable animals through the following efforts:
volunteers filmed more than 200 adoption videos
that were posted on YouTube and the
Department’s Facebook page; and special
events were advertised on the Department
website and Facebook page resulting in calls
from out of state on shelter animals up for
adoption.
The Department increased monthly mobile
adoptions from 11 to 15 and added a new
Sunday mobile adoption event that is held every
Sunday in front of the Martinez shelter.
Goal: 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.
Measurement: The Department has made
available to the public a series of low cost dog
obedience classes. The series consists of five
one hour classes that are held on Saturdays.
The Department’s website contains Information
about the classes, the cost, and how to register.
Animal Services
Law and Justice
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-255
Goal: Continue to develop partnerships with a
number of animal welfare organizations and the
private sector both in and out of the County to
address the growing overpopulation of
abandoned and homeless cats.
Measurement: The Department continued to
develop partnerships with a number of animal
welfare organizations through the following
efforts: five Spay and Neuter Impact Project
(SNIP) clinics were held at the Department’s
Martinez shelter; developed working
relationships with nine cat rescue groups; alloted
daily surgery slots at our spay and neuter clinic
for feral cats from four rescue groups; hosted a
workshop on cat trap and release at the
Martinez shelter; coordinated off site placement
of available cats at three pet stores in the
County (Pet Food Express, Petsmart, and
Rodies); and partnered with Contra Costa
Humane Society to house our older cats in their
“Kitty Corner.”
Goal: Continue to improve efficiency by
installing laptops with wireless units in all field
vehicles to improve efficiency and productivity
when funding permits.
Measurement: The Department upgraded its air
link EVDO wireless system in all field vehicles to
Verizon 4G LTE air cards and AreoHive BR100
Routers. This system provides the Department
with high speed wireless communications back
to the Department’s primary kennel intake
application; increases cell coverage area
resulting in less loss of signal, improved “up
time” and more productive units; and increased
application updates and system uploads to the
laptops in the field vehicles.
Goal: Develop an animal husbandry
curriculum that will raise the professionalism
and expand the knowledge base of staff
while addressing the complexities of animal
care in shelters; with the expanded goal of
being accepted at the university level for
college credit.
Goal: Increase our licensing compliance rate
by enhancing our marketing and education
efforts.
Goal: Implement new Field Officer protocols
to respond to the changing demands being
set by the industry.

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. In 2010, 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 under
current contract terms. Due to a continued rise in
caseloads referred by the Public Defender
throughout fiscal years 2011-12 and 2012-13,
the Recommended Budget includes an increase
in appropriations estimated to be required to
reach a final disposition for the bulk of those
cases.
The level of service for this program is mandated
pursuant to constitutional requirements. Should
the recommended appropriations prove
insufficient to fund the requisite level of defense
services, it will be necessary to shift resources to
this budget center from other programs or

B-268 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
CAO Recommendation
The 2013-14 Baseline Budget increases
expenditure appropriations by $2.19 million, or
7.1% and estimated revenue by $1.64 million, or
9.8%, resulting in an increase to net County cost
of $549,079.
The Recommended Budget increases net
County cost by $30,228, which funds a portion
of the Baseline Budget associated with building
lifecycle costs. The remainder of the difference
is achieved through the following, which
balances the departmental budget:
1. Increased Revenue – $700,000
Expand prosecution and management of
AB109 cases; Ensure compliance with
Marsy’s Law as it relates to the realigned
AB109 population.
2. Personnel Adjustments – ($181,149)
Salaries and benefits are increased to
provide additional expenditure
appropriations and flexibility in the District
Attorney’s Office for implementation of
various programming.
The District Attorney’s office continues to work
aggressively on new crime prevention initiatives
in addition to managing responsibilities
associated with AB109. The County
Administrator’s Office acknowledges this
continued effort and believes that the
Recommended Budget reflects a balance
between funding new initiatives and preserving
mandated, mainline prosecution responsibilities
within the District Attorney’s Office.
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 Office using
appropriations allocated by the Board of
Supervisors.
District Attorney
Law and Justice
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-269
Performance Measurement
The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s
Office reviews every police report it receives
from more than 25 law enforcement agencies,
and files and prosecutes to conclusion
thousands of criminal cases every year. In
2012, the office prosecuted over 3,600 felony
cases and over 7,200 misdemeanor cases. It
conducted 98 felony trials and 184 misdemeanor
trials. The District Attorney’s Office is also
called upon to investigate and prosecute public
corruption.
Despite acute budget issues, the District
Attorney reports that his office has continued to
maintain an overall felony conviction rate of
91%, the highest in the Bay Area.
Administrative and Program Goals
1. Crime Prevention Programs:
The District Attorney's Office continues to
implement new crime prevention initiatives.
(A) Richmond Cease Fire
The District Attorney’s Office continues to be
involved with the anti-gang initiative known as
“Ceasefire” in the City of Richmond. The
program attempts to stem gang violence at its
source, before it erupts into shootings and the
taking of innocent lives. Studies have shown
Ceasefire to drop the homicide rate a minimum
of 20%. Sustaining the Ceasefire program has
required the allocation of two additional deputy
district attorneys to prosecute Ceasefire Initiative
violators. In prioritizing this program, the District
Attorney hopes to achieve positive results in
terms of reducing the number of crime victims
and related County medical costs. The City of
Richmond has seen the number of homicides
drop from 47 in 2009 to 18 in calendar year
2012.
(B) Anti-Truancy Initiative
The District Attorney's Office continues to
implement its anti-truancy crime prevention
initiative
Addressing this County’s truancy crisis will help
to prevent crime. The County already pays a
huge price for dropouts. Dropouts are 3.5 times
more likely to be arrested, more than 8 times
more likely to be in jail, and they comprise more
than 50% of our state prison inmates. It’s been
projected that a 10% increase in graduation
rates in Contra Costa County would reduce
murder and assault rates by about 20%.
2. Administrative Goals
(A) Case Management System
The District Attorney is continuing efforts
towards design and implementation of a new
case management information system.
CAO Law & Justice System staff have worked
with the District Attorney’s Office to update
business system requirements, and developed a
request for proposals for a replacement system.
Two companies recently responded to the RFP
and their proposals are currently being
evaluated. Until a new case management
system is implemented, the office continues to
rely upon the County’s mainframe system, which
is becoming obsolete and difficult to maintain.
(B) Filing/Storage Systems
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.
(C) Staffing
The District Attorney will continue efforts to
maintain minimum staffing levels necessary to
prosecute the full spectrum of criminal offenses.
District Attorney
Law and Justice
B-270 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Realignment (AB 109)
The additional responsibilities which the District
Attorney’s Office will be expected to handle as a
result of passage of AB 109 are considerable.
The Board recently approved funding for the
Arraignment Court Early Representation (ACER)
program, as part of realignment. However,
additional funding for the District Attorney’s
office of approximately $700,000 was not
approved for fiscal year 2012-2013. It is hoped
that in the Realignment budget for fiscal year
2013-2014, the CCP and the Board of
Supervisors will approve the expenditure of
$700,000 from Realignment funds for the District
Attorney’s Office. If that does not occur, the
District Attorney’s Office will need an additional
$700,000 from the General Fund to meet its
Realignment responsibilities.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline Budget is decreased by
$2,114,237 primarily due to the removal of one-
time appropriations in the amount of $1.61
million from Law & Justice Systems
Development and prior year fund balance in the
amount of $494,377 from the Vehicle Theft
program. The Baseline Budget funds a new
Business Systems Analyst position established
in 2012-13 for support of the implementation and
administration of AB109 Public Safety
Realignment.
The Recommended Budget funds the Baseline
Budget in its entirety, resulting in a net county
cost of $1.9 million. The Recommended Budget
continues the General Fund subsidy to the
Justice Automated Warrant System (JAWS) in
the amount of $22,480.

B-288 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
CAO Recommendation
The 2013-14 Baseline Budget increases
expenditure appropriations by $3.65 million, or
5.9% and estimated revenue by $1.98 million, or
7.4%, resulting in an increase to net County cost
of $1.67 million. The primary driver of baseline
increases to net County cost are salary and
benefit expenses; specifically, retirement
expenses.
The Recommended Budget increases net
County cost by $823,702, which funds a
significant amount of the baseline increase over
fiscal year 2012-13. The remainder of the
difference is achieved through the following,
which balances the departmental budget:
1. Increase Vacancy Factor – ($641,299)
Establish a vacancy factor within the
department budget to account for savings
associated with positions that are currently
or will become vacant during fiscal year
2013-14.
2. Additional Public Safety Realignment
revenue - $200,000
Increased funding allocation to the Probation
Department for supervision and other
activities related to the new population
realigned from the State to counties through
AB109 Public Safety Realignment.
Performance Measurement
Complete the selection and implementation
of a case management system (CMS)
Probation continues to work on design of a CMS
system to measure outcomes and improve
efficiency.
Continue to develop State-recognized
evidence-based programming (EBP) in
facilities and field probation
The Department has continued to keep this
Performance Measurement in the forefront of its
mission. The Department was awarded a grant
to implement and train trainers in the use of
Aggression Replacement Treatment and
maintained a database to ensure fidelity to the
models. The Department has begun training
staff in Thinking for a Change (T4C) and is
developing a plan for implementation.
Implement and train staff in gender- specific
programming
In 2010, the Department opened the Girls in
Motion Program in direct response to a need for
girls’ services in the community. The
Department has invested in training staff to
identify and refer girls who have been
commercially exploited. Staff in the unit and
aftercare staff have received enhanced training
in gender-specific issues.
Seek possible funding sources to
rehabilitate, at no County cost, two units of
Juvenile Hall
Units still require rehabilitation and the
Department continues to search for sources of
possible funding.
Improve collaborative efforts among
departments to improve service delivery to
clients
The rapid implementation of AB 109 and
creation of the mandatory Community
Corrections Partnership defined partnerships
and facilitated healthy communication to provide
supportive services to adults re-entering the
community from prison as well as providing
improved services to the probation population
now serving time in jail.
Improve facilities and develop programming
to accommodate possible closure of the
State Department of Juvenile Justice
Plan for juvenile realignment including custody
and rehabilitation of youth up to age 21.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Public Defender’s baseline budget increases
net County cost by $542,405, which is wholly
attributable to net increases in salary and benefit
costs.
The County Administrator is recommending a
budget that funds a majority of the increases
resulting in a slight reduction of $88,585 in
temporary salaries. This reduction will have
minimal impact to departmental operations due
to the significant augmentation in permanent,
full-time staffing throughout fiscal year 2012-13.
Increases in staffing have resulted in a cessation
of referrals of clients to the Contra Costa County
Bar Association for legal services due to reduced
attorney caseloads.
Public Defender
Law and Justice
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-293
Performance Measurement
Reduce the Number of Clients Referred out to
the Conflicts Panel Due to Insufficient
Staffing Levels
This goal has been met. With the addition of
four attorney positions, the Department has
completely eliminated the need to refer cases to
the Conflicts Panel due to excessive caseloads.
Continue Work with the Community
Corrections Partnership to Facilitate a
Smooth Transition to Public Safety
Realignment
The Department has continued to provide
leadership in working with the Community
Corrections Partnership to facilitate the transition
and work through the challenges presented by
Public Safety Realignment. Public Safety
Realignment brought about major reforms in the
sentencing and supervision of low level felony
offenders, primarily by shifting responsibility for
incarceration and oversight of these offenders to
the local level. Contra Costa County continues
to be a leader among counties in planning for
and adjusting to the changes brought about by
realignment. The formation of a Community
Advisory Board and the development of an
Operations Plan for AB109 funding are
innovative approaches to Public Safety
Realignment that have been viewed as a model
for counties around the state. As a member of
the Community Corrections Partnership
Executive Committee, the Public Defender will
continue to work with the other justice partners to
ensure that Contra Costa County continues to
achieve the principle goal of realignment: to
increase public safety through reducing
recidivism.
Work with the Courts and the District
Attorney to Expand the Early Disposition
Program to the Pittsburg Court
The Department has succeeded in meeting this
goal to the extent possible. The Public Defender
was able to secure funding through AB109
funding to launch an innovative program
designed to provide representation for in-custody
clients at their first appearance in court. This
program, termed ACER (Arraignment Court
Early Representation), has enabled the
Department to hire two high level attorneys and
one paralegal to ensure representation for all in-
custody felony clients at the first appearance.
Eventually, when the District Attorney’s Office is
able to staff these courts, the ACER program will
be folded in with the Early Disposition calendar
such that all felony cases will be assessed for
early disposition at the initial appearance.
Provide Representation in Misdemeanor
Arraignment Courts
The Department has succeeded in meeting this
goal. Currently all in-custody misdemeanor
clients are provided representation at their first
appearance in arraignment court. This has been
a long-term goal for this Department and meeting
this goal is a significant accomplishment.
Secure a Case Management System
This project is ongoing. Unfortunately, we have
not yet secured a case management system.
We will continue working toward this goal in the
coming year.
Administrative and Program Goals
Develop a Program using the New Public
Defender Social Worker Supervisor Position
and Social Work Intern Staff to Support
Better Outcomes for Clients
With funding from the AB109, the Department
was able to hire a Social Worker Supervisor who
will start with the Department in March 2013. A
major goal for the Department is to develop this
new position into an expansive program, using
interns, to better serve the reentry needs of both
our adult and juvenile clients. In the coming
year, we will design a program that will enable us
to advocate for appropriate outcomes for our
low-level felony clients. The goal with this
program will be to help this client population
receive services that will enable them to get their
lives back on track and keep them out of the
criminal justice system. In addition, we hope to
utilize social work interns to assess the needs of
our juvenile clients who are housed in placement
facilities throughout the state.

Enhance and Expand our Internal Training
Program, to Include Improved Training for
the Management Team
A Departmental goal for the coming year will be
to expand and enhance our in-house training for
new attorneys as well as for our management
team. Thanks to funding that the Department
was awarded for IT projects last year, we have
been able to equip our library with a new
mounted projector and make other
improvements that will greatly enhance our
ability to provide in-house training. By the end of
the next fiscal year, we expect to have in place a
comprehensive, one-week training program for
all new misdemeanor and felony attorneys to
enhance the level of service we provide to our
clients.
Secure a Case Management System
We will continue to work to secure a case
management system for the Department. We
hope to have a system in place by the end of FY
2013-2014.
Update and Expand the Department Website
In the coming year, we will work on updating and
modernizing our public website. This will entail
expanding the public information section
regarding Public Defender services and
programs as well as updating attorney profiles.

CAO Recommendation
The FY 2013-14 Baseline Budget increases
expenditure appropriations by $15.01 million, or
7.8% and estimated revenue by $6.48 million, or
4.9%, resulting in an increase to net County cost
of $8,523,776.
The Recommended Budget includes a
$5,992,208 increase in net County cost over FY
2012-13. This amount funds a significant portion
of the Baseline Budget. The remainder of the
difference to balance the budget, $2,531,568, is
achieved through the following:
1. Increased Revenue – $1,577,829
Increases to revenue in the Field Operations
and Custody Services Bureaus to reflect
new revenue or reimbursements to
programs outlined in the Program
Modification List below.
2. Staff Vacancy Factor – $1,222,465
Establishes a vacancy factor within the
department budget to account for savings
associated with positions that are currently
or will become vacant during fiscal year
2013-14.
3. Increase Staffing for County Patrol –
($268,726)
Add two (2) Deputy Sheriff-40 Hour
positions in the Patrol Division to improve
patrol coverage and minimize service
delivery delays
In past years, we have agreed to permit an
unresolved funding gap in the Sheriff’s budget
that we attribute to savings that result from
normal staff turnover – a budgetary vacancy
factor. To avoid personnel reductions and permit
an augmentation to authorized staffing levels, we
have agreed to continue this practice and have
established the vacancy factor at $1.2 million for
fiscal year 2013-14. We have advised the Sheriff
to continue to recruit aggressively in order to
maximize staffing within authorized levels.
Should the Sheriff’s Office not achieve the
budgeted vacancy factor, we will return to the
Board later in the fiscal year with a
recommendation for a budgetary augmentation.
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
Budgetary and staffing constraints continued into
fiscal year 2012-13. Of the (27) full-time staff
positions requested, totaling $13,160,186, 11
positions were funded: eight deputy sheriff
positions and three sheriff dispatcher positions,
increasing the Sheriff Office General Fund
Baseline Budget by $1.3 million. The additional
deputy and dispatcher positions were added to
begin the rebuilding of patrol coverage and
decreased 9-1-1 response times to the
unincorporated areas of the County after years
of continual reduction in services due to
budgetary reductions.
During year two of the AB 109 realignment
Sheriff-Coroner
Law and Justice
B-312 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
initiative, the Sheriff’s Office continues to
experience increases in the inmate population,
which carries with it increased demand for
“special needs” housing for inmates with gang
affiliations, medical needs, and other specialized
classification levels of the inmate. In addition,
the realignment sentencing guidelines are
resulting in more “special needs” inmates’
serving longer sentences in the County jails,
thereby pushing the housing limits to maximum
capacity levels.
While adjusting internal operations to respond to
the changes in inmate sentencing and housing,
the Sheriff Office continues to be an active
participant in the Community Corrections
Partnership in an ongoing effort to assist inmates
with the successful transition back into the
community upon their release.
Administrative and Programs Goals
The Office of the Sheriff is committed to the
following goals for fiscal year 2013-14:
• Remain committed to rebuilding staffing of
law enforcement personnel, specifically for
patrol operations and investigations,
restoring service levels to the community to
the extent permitted by the funding level
provided within this budget.
• Continue to modify operational processes to
ensure proper management of the AB 109
Realignment Initiative with the focus on
working with local community based-
organizations to ensure inmates receive
access to services that will assist in their
successful transitions back into the
community upon release.
• The Phase two build out of the 9-1-1
Wireless Program will continue with the goal
of routing all cellular 9-1-1 service calls,
initiated within County limits, to the Sheriff’s
Communication Center by January 2014.
• Expand Automated Regional Information
Exchanges System (ARIES) access to more
neighboring agencies and jurisdictions,
which will enhance the overall efficiency and
effectiveness of its key investigative
functionality for front line law enforcement
officers.

CAO’s Recommendation
The Baseline Budget was decreased from the
current year budget by $355,459. This is due to
savings from adjusting baseline expenditure
appropriations for outside attorney fees and
witness fees to reflect prior year experience. In
addition, reimbursements to the Court
Collections Unit have been reduced as the unit
has had increased success in cost recovery
through the collections process. The impact of
baseline cost savings has been offset by a
reduction in fine and forfeiture revenue in the
amount of $332,720; specifically, Driver
Education and Recording fees.
The Recommended Budget funds the baseline
budget; resulting in a net county cost of $10.2
million. In better economic 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. 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

reductions in other County programs.
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 $1.9 million for court
functions for which the County is financially

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-

Performance Measurement
The County and the Superior Court, through its
Court Collections Unit (CCU), have worked
diligently to minimize the County General Fund
impact for court collections services, resulting in
a projected savings of approximately $200,000
for fiscal year 2013-14.
Administrative and Program Goals
In fiscal year 2013-14, the County Administrator
will continue to work with the Superior Court to:
• Finalize and implement a service
agreement that clearly identifies roles
and responsibilities, both operational
and fiscal, of the County and the Court.
• Continue working with the CCU to
minimize the impact to the County
General Fund for services related to
collection of certain fines and penalties.

CAO’s Recommendation
The 2013-14 Baseline Budget contemplates
staffing of 24 engine companies. Historically, the
District has staffed 30 engine companies at 28
stations on a full time basis. In January 2011,
one of the two fire companies at Fire Station 1 in
Walnut Creek was de-staffed and in July 2012
one of the two fire companies at Fire Station 6 in
Concord was also de-staffed. In November
2012, the District had a ballot measure on the
General Election ballot to augment District
revenue for the continued provision of Fire
suppression services. The ballot measure was
not approved by the voters, resulting in the
closure of the following four fire stations,
effective January 2013: Fire Station 4 in Walnut
Creek; Fire Station 11 in Clayton; Fire Station 12
in Martinez; and Fire Station 16 in Lafayette.
The Baseline Budget reflects the continued
pressure on District reserve funding from annual
expenditure increases outpacing growth in ad
valorem property tax receipts – the District’s
primary source of operating revenue. The
increase in operating expenditures comes
primarily from the projected increase in District
contributions to employee retirement. Prior to
2011, the District’s pension costs were pooled
with other employer members of the Contra
Costa County Employees Retirement
Association (CCCERA). CCCERA de-pooled
assets and the Fire District is now paying its full
share of pension costs. The de-pooling of
pension assets by employer has had a
significant impact on the District beginning in
fiscal year 2011-12, when the Safety/Fire Tier
rate essentially doubled from 16.3% to 32.3%. A
summary of the increases to date are outlined
below, including fiscal year 2013-14.
Fiscal Year Safety/Fire Tier % Change
2010/11 16.3%
2011/12 32.3% 98%
2012/13 40.6% 26%
2013/14 46.9% 16%
In 2012, the Governor signed into law the Public
Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), which
among other things, created new retirement tiers
for new hires effective January 1, 2013. For the
District, new hires will be included in PEPRA
Tier D-Fire at a rate of 43.5%, lower than the
existing Safety/Fire Tier rate for legacy
employees (pre January 1, 2013 hires). Because
the new tier only applies to new hires, it is not
expected that the District will realize cost
savings in the short term from the passage of
PEPRA. In addition, in February 2013, the
CCCERA Board approved a decrease in the
investment return assumption of 0.5%, from
7.75% to 7.25%. This decrease will add an
additional, significant burden to already
escalating pension costs for the District.
Preliminary estimates are an increase of
approximately $3.1 to $3.6 million depending on
the personnel composition of the department
and number of stations in service during fiscal
year 2014-15.
The 24 engine company model presented in the
Baseline Budget would require the use of all
remaining fund balance available in the
CCCFPD Operating Fund and a draw of
$571,475 from the District’s Pension Obligation
Bond Stabilization (POB) Fund. This scenario
would result in the District entering fiscal year
2014-15 with no fund balance available in the
Operating Fund and an estimated $3.4 million in
the POB Stabilization Fund. Considering the
structural imbalance and complete depletion of
the Operating Fund reserves under a 24 engine
company model, the County Administrator is
unable to recommend funding the baseline
budget as presented.
The County Administrator’s 2013-14
Recommended Budget includes the closure of
two fire stations, resulting in a projected savings
of $3.05 million and a reduction of 18 full-time
equivalent (FTE) positions. Under the
recommendation, one station would be closed
effective July 1, 2013 and a second station
Contra Costa County FPD
Special District
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget B-325
would be closed effective January 1, 2014. This
22 station model is estimated to result in the
District ending fiscal year 2013-14 with a
positive fund balance in both the Operating Fund
and the POB Stabilization Fund in the amounts
of $2.5 million and 3.9 million, respectively.
It is important to note that the Recommended
Budget still balances only by using $6.89 million
in Operating Fund reserves. Also, capital
expenditures and other infrastructure needs
have been virtually unfunded for the last several
years and will remain as such with the 22 station
model. Capital expenditures are primarily
needed to replace aging fire engines, ladder
trucks, and other fire apparatus. In addition, the
District remains responsible for the upkeep of all
28 fire stations regardless of how many may be
in service at any one time. Continued failure to
fund capital expenditures will ultimately result in
an increase to deferred maintenance, which
becomes more expensive as the condition of
assets continues to deteriorate. Currently, all
efforts are being made to preserve service levels
to citizens within the District, resulting in funding
for capital projects being deferred.
This solution does not completely resolve the
structural imbalance entering fiscal year 2014-15
and additional reductions will be necessary to
balance the District’s budget in that fiscal year,
absent new revenue. Although the District has
made progress in managing the structural
deficit, future expenditure increases continue to
outpace future revenue increases through fiscal
year 2016-17. The County Administrator will
continue to work with the District to monitor
finances and operations throughout the year and
report to the Board should the Recommended
Budget need to be amended.
Performance Measurement
During FY 2012-13 the District:
• Continued to provide fire, EMS, and rescue
services to the entire District despite a loss
of internal resources and reduced resources
from automatic aid partners.
• Responded to nearly 40,000 incidents in

CAO’s Recommendation
Baseline costs reflect a $535,876 decrease from
the fiscal year 2012-13 Budget. This decrease
is primarily in other special departmental
expenses that included fund balance
appropriations from the fiscal year 2011-12
closing. Baseline revenue reflects a $22,222
decrease from fiscal year 2012-13 Budget. This
decrease in due to two factors: a reduction in
estimated property tax revenue of $14,722 and
the removal of a one-time grant in the amount of
$7,500. The Recommended Budget reflects a
decrease in temporary salaries of $17,300 and
an increase in fund balance available of $34,505
to balance the District budget.
Performance Measurement
• Crockett-Carquinez FPD was able to recruit
and hire (5) five new Paid-on-Call firefighters
during fiscal year 2012-13.
• The District secured approximately $10,500
in donations in fiscal year 2012-13.
Administrative and Program Goals
• Continue recruiting Paid-on-Call personnel,
and;
• Continue pursuing donations and grants to
help supplement funding for apparatus and
equipment needs.
• Upgrade technical rescue capabilities and
place rescue truck in service.

homes ($11.7 million), community services administration ($28.6 million), employment and
training ($8.6 million), family maintenance ($17.4), and highway construction monies ($7.1
million).
State Aid Public Safety Services ($69.1 million): The half-cent public safety tax was
approved by the voters in 1993 to permanently extend a temporary state tax that had been
enacted to offset the state's fiscal crisis. The state controller forwards the revenue to each
county on the basis of that county's share of statewide taxable sales. The county auditor then
distributes to its local agencies via a formula based on the amount of property tax lost to
previous state expropriations by ERAF (Educational Revenue Augmentation Funding).
Revenues can only be used for specified public safety purposes. In Contra Costa they are
allocated to the Departments of the Sheriff and District Attorney. The County’s sales tax
consultants project that these revenues will increase by over 5% in FY 2013-14. The increase
is over current year projected figures, which exceed the current year budget by $3 million.
State Aid Realignment-Mental Health ($46.6 million): Health Services is projecting to receive
$46.6 million in FY 2013-14, $5 million more than in the current fiscal year. These funds are
used to provide mental health services to both children and adults, including probationers. This
funding is generated through sales tax, including the AB109 sales tax allocation, and is
projected by the Health Services Department based prior year receipts and anticipated sales tax
growth. The entire growth of $5 million is due to the AB109 sales tax allocation.
Title IV-D Revenues ($18.9 million): Child Support Services is projecting to receive just under
$19 million in federal funds in FY 2013-14. This is a federal funding source and is projected by
the Child Support Services Department based upon performance and current year expenses,
due mainly to flat expenditures projected revenue growth is flat as well.

County Summary Information
C-18 County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget
Medi-Cal outpatient services are reimbursed on a PPS (Prospective Payment System) all
inclusive rate, which includes physician reimbursement. The visits are projected based on
historical patterns and then adjusted for new medical service additions and deletions. The
resultant visit volume is then multiplied by the estimated revenue per visit to arrive at the
budgeted amount.
Health Plan Reimbursement ($123.2 million): The revenue is for Inpatient and Outpatient
managed care services reimbursed on a capitated basis. The revenue forecast is based on
anticipated enrollment consistent with State wide trends coupled with utilization rates per
thousand (for both days and visits). The member projection and volume estimates are then
combined with the anticipated payment rate to arrive at the budget amount.
PHP/Medi-Cal Premiums ($196.2 million): The budgeted revenue anticipates enrollment of
the State of California Medi-Cal recipients into the County Managed Care two plan model. The
member month and market share projections are developed based upon statewide data and
modified based upon historical trends. The anticipated monthly capitated payment amount is
based on State contracted rates. The projected member months multiplied by the State
contract rate produce the budgeted revenue.
Contra Costa Health Plan Premiums ($62.1 million): The budgeted revenue anticipates
enrollment of the Commercial members into the County managed care plan. The member
months are based upon historical trends and adjusted for product additions or deletions. The
resultant number of months is multiplied times the average prior period rate per month to
produce the budgeted revenue.

County Summary Information
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget C-21
Sales and Use Tax/In-Lieu Sales and Use Tax ($14.0 million): Sales tax is the responsibility
of the seller, and the local portion is generally allocated to the jurisdiction where the seller’s
sales office, order desk or cash register is located. Use tax is levied upon the purchaser; and
normally applies either when title to the merchandise has passed at a point outside of California,
or when the item(s) sold are affixed to real property as part of a construction contract. Because
these transactions are not tied to a permanent, in-state place of business the use tax is normally
distributed via the county allocation pools and shared among all jurisdictions in that county. In-
Lieu Sales and Use Tax are those taxes transferred to a county or a city from a Sales and Use
Tax Compensation Fund or an Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. These revenues
replaced the 0.25% of the Bradley-Burns sales and use tax that were previously credited to the
general funds of all cities and counties but are now being used for debt service payment of
State Economic recovery bonds. Contra Costa relies on a consulting firm to project Sales and
Use Tax. The FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget includes an increase of $1.3 million over
projected current year actuals and an increase of $1.7 million when comparing to budgeted
figures for FY 2012-13.

County Summary Information
County of Contra Costa FY 2013-2014 Recommended Budget C-23
Charges for Services ($244.9 million): Eleven of the 77 revenues in this category account for
over 75% of the revenue. The largest is Medi-Cal for mental health services ($51.7 million),
which is projected based upon trend as well as State contact. Contract law enforcement
services accounts for $27.5 million of these revenues and are based upon current contracts to
cover projected actual expenditures. Building maintenance services costs account for $30.6
million in Charges for Services and $17.9 million for reciprocal transactions between
governmental funds (contracts and interfund loans). For the most part, these revenues are
projected based upon existing contracts. The County expects to receive $14.9 from health
inspection fees, $9.7 million in recording fees, $7.7 million in assessment collections, $7.0
million from planning and engineering services, $4.1 million from miscellaneous law
enforcement services, $5.9 for communication services, and $5.3 million for
processing/inspection fees in FY 2013-14. These revenue projections are based upon recent
County trends.
Miscellaneous Revenue ($326.5 million): Over $187.6 million in miscellaneous revenues are
government to government reimbursements for recovery of shared and/or actual costs of raw
materials and/or raw labor. Also included in this category, and the most common in Contra
Costa County, are non-arms-length transactions such as the Public Works Department charging
the Road or Flood Control Funds. Other large sources of miscellaneous revenues are
government to government transfers ($49.3 million) and contributions from other funds ($70.4
million). These are one-way transactions where assets are transferred from one fund to another
fund without anything in return (e.g. Subsidy). These miscellaneous revenues are projected to
increase in FY 2013-14 and are based upon planned future projects. The third largest
miscellaneous revenues at $70.4 million are contributions from other funds. Of this amount,
$69.9 is budgeted for the principal and interest costs for the Pension Obligation Bonds for
employee retirement liabilities and to fund the Retirement Litigation debt services repayment.
Funds are calculated per the established debt schedules and allocated across projected
employee payroll based upon recent experience (see Debt Service, page B-69).

Fund balance is the difference between fund assets and fund liabilities remaining at year-end.
For budgetary purposes, this represents the sum of over-realized or unanticipated revenues and
unspent appropriations or reserves at the end of each fiscal year. The County Administrator’s
Office reviews variances in projected fund balances each year over or under 10%. Presented in
the table above is the County’s Major Governmental Fund individually and Non-Major Funds in
the aggregate projected for year-end. Projections begin with actual balance as of June 30,
2012, and add the net of the current year’s budgeted expenditures and revenues, minus
carryforwards.
The Major Governmental Fund, General Fund, is expected to remain relatively flat with a fund
balance change of 1.99% ($3.0 million). The reasons for the projected increases in
expenditures and revenues are detailed in the County Budget Message and individual
departmental summaries beginning on page B-1. The reason for the $3.0 million increase in
projected fund balance is due to the West Contra Costa Healthcare District’s third reallocation of
approximately $11.5 million in property tax revenue. This “repayment” of reserves is not an on-
going source of revenue (see page B-69 for more detailed information).
The Non-Major Governmental Funds in the aggregate are expected to decline with a fund
balance change of 20.16% ($43.4 million). There are 86 funds included in this aggregate and
thirteen of them represent $38.4 million of the $43.4 million variance. Some specific examples
are: $7.8 million for recorder/modernization functions, $6.1 million in Navy Transit Mitigation,
$4.5 million for County law enforcement capital projects. The reduction in Non-Major
Governmental Funds in the aggregate is likely overstated due to the departmental practice of
appropriating gross fund balance over and above annual required levels.
