FISCAL IMPACT: Services provided by IEDA will be billed quarterly, up to a maximum payment limit of $22,588 for the requested contract term, and will be funded by Federal, State and County. BACKGROUND: Due to a long-standing contract with IEDA, the County Administrator's Office is requesting to continue contracting with IEDA for negotiation and support services for the IHSS Public Authority. IEDA has represented Contra Costa County in labor relations matters for about 40 years and augments the County’s Labor Relations staff. IEDA has long-term, historical knowledge of the policies, practices and intricacies of the County and IHSS, and is instrumental in negotiations. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this contract is not approved, IHSS and the County will lack the necessary negotiations and support services needed to negotiate with recognized employee organizations.
